Disclaimer- I don't own InuYasha, if I did it wouldn't be so popular cause I'd mess it up.

I have been signing (using Sign Language) for several years, and decided to make a story about it. I don't own any of the movies or things here either.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Signing"

"Talking and signing"

Garrett led Reika up to the apartment slowly. He was halfway up the steps when Reika stopped and gave him a questioning glance. Garrett noticed her footsteps halt and turned around to face her.

"What aren't you telling me?" She signed hurriedly. Her words were messy and careless as she signed at him. Her hand remained pointing at herself as she waited for his response. She knew him too well to know that everything was fine. He was walking stiffly and fast, almost as if not wanting to get caught without drawing attention to himself.

"I can't tell you, I promised. All you need to know is you cannot be seen." Garrett looked around before grabbing one of her bags and walking back up the stairs. He knocked on the door and waited until Origumo opened the door standing next to Kagura.

Garrett entered the apartment and set Reika's stuff in his room just as Reika entered the house.

"Garrett, is this the girl you told us about?" She asked nonchalantly and Kagura led Reika into the living room.

"Yeah, this is Reika."

"How am I supposed to talk to her?" Kagura asked distastefully.

"I'll translate for her if you want."

"I guess that would work. I have a few questions and information I feel inclined to bring up before she comes to my home." Kagura played with a feather that was held between her thumb and index finger in her right hand. "Tell her that you two will be sharing your room and ask if she has any objections to that."

"Reika, do you have problems sleeping in my room?"

"In the same bed?"

"Yes."

"No problem." Reika signed as a small blush crept up onto her cheeks.

"That would work."

"Ask her is she has any allergies."

"She doesn't mom." Garrett stated.

Kagura glared at Reika before sighing. "This is useless, we are going to be late." Kagura got up and told Garrett to pack what Reika would need and to follow her in Origumo's car. She left the apartment with her eldest son and waited in her car for Reika and Garrett before driving off to the estate.

Reika grabbed her bag and followed Garrett to Kagura's car.

"Naraku and Kanna will be gone for a while, but it isn't like you wanted to see them..." Kagura trailed off, she wasn't sure how to talk to her son.

Garrett rolled his eyes and shifted nervously in his seat. A majority of his family hated hanyou, and Garrett was glad that Naraku was gone, because that meant that there wouldn't be a lot of extra people.

Reika bit her lip as she toyed with Garrett's dark brown hair, she loved how soft it always was, but frowned when she noticed he'd cut it to his shoulders. Every week he seemed to cut it an inch shorter.

The ride to Naraku's estate was long, and when they arrived Reika didn't have long to stare at the two storied beauty. Garrett carried Reika to his room, remembering to grab her backpack.

Reika attempted to follow where she was being taken, but Garrett was running too fast. 'What is he trying to hide?' She thought to herself. Finally, Garrett set her down in a room bigger than the apartment's livingroom and kitchen combined.

Garrett tossed her bag onto the king sized bed.

"Welcome to my other life."
