“What would it mean to you if you were to get it?”

 

She asked at the end of his audition.

 

“What would it mean? It…it means everything. All I have ever wanted to do was act, but it has been hard finding a chance to. Having this role would mean that I have been able to do something that no other half-demon has done.” He replied honestly, hoping that she would understand that landing this role would mark a new dawn in acting history.

 

“So you chose to come here today to make a mark in the acting world?”

 

“I came here because I was pursuing a passion that may never be.”

 

She nodded before turning to look at Miroku.

 

“Him.”

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2

 

 

 

That was all she had to say.

 

Or so she had hoped.

 

“No. No way in hell.” Koga said off to her left.

 

“You can't be serious Koga. Didn't you see that performance? We have been here all day, watching both men and women, and this guy is the only performer that she actually likes.”

 

“I don't care. Didn't you read the script and the contract? We stick to the book. The book says that he is a demon. Do you know how much it will cost to deal with his ears in makeup? A bloody fortune! I said no and I mean no. The half breed goes.”

 

“Alright then, Koga. We will do things your way.” Kagome started. “If he goes then so do I.”

 

They had never heard Kagome talk like that before.

 

“I get the ultimate say in who is cast, an I say that he get the role. If you don't give it to him, then you can't make my book into a movie, and I will just take this else where along with that man. Don't think that I was only offered this right by you. There were other's that wanted my story too. If you are worried about money, then fine. I will pay for his make up. He stays, or we go.”

 

She was stunned by her bravado, and apparently she was not the only one. She saw out of the corner of her eye Inuyasha staring at her with his mouth hanging wide open.

 

Koga started both her and Inuyasha down, trying to see what was so special about him. Trying to figure out what she liked about him so much that she was willing to throw everything away that they had done so far just for him.

 

“Fine. You want the half-breed as your lead? Then take the half breed.”

 

“Thank you for understanding Koga.” She said curtly before allowing Miroku to give him all of the information that he would need in the coming weeks.

 

They had to still cast all of the other roles, but she felt that she would actually enjoy making this film now.

 

She wanted to humor the rest of the people who came, so Kagome and the others endured the next hour listening to the last of the auditions before calling it a night.

 

Everyone was exhausted.

 

Kagome could not wait to get back to her hotel and soak in her high-end tub. After all, what was the purpose of spending as much money as she had for a hotel room if she wasn't going to use her tub? She could almost feel the power jets on her skin massaging her tired flesh.

 

Everyone else had gone ahead and left without her. She was left alone in the building and kept awkwardly fumbling with her purse as she walked outside. It was already dark by now. The sky was clear and the moon shown from high up within the sky, though there were not many stars out. She could thank the city lights for that. It was still beautiful nonetheless.

 

Nights like this had always made her want to curl up in her bed with her laptop and Sesshomaru. It was always the perfect ending to any day, no matter her mood.

 

She started walking towards the street to hail a taxi when she heard a voice coming out from behind a tree that she was passing.

 

“Why did you do it?”

 

She stopped suddenly, turning around to face the voice, and the man that it belonged to.

 

“Why did I do what?”

 

“Why did you demand that I be cast like that? Why were you threatening them to take the movie else where and…me along with it?” Inuyasha asked softly as he stepped out from behind the tree and in front of her, blocking her only escape root, not that she would have escaped even if she wanted to.

 

“Because you were the best person for the role.”

 

“Is that the only reason?” he pushed, trying to figure out why anyone would have done what she had done just so that he would have a roll in the movie.

 

“Honestly? I don't know. You just…you just felt like him.”

 

“Felt?” he repeated, tilting his head slightly to the side.

 

“Yeah. Kind of like you are him. Like you are the person that I was thinking of when I wrote him. You just gave off that vibe. Do you follow me?” she told him, trying to fight back a giggle at the very Sesshomaru like movement he had just done when her love was trying to act tender.

 

“I guess. I just wanted to thank you for that though. It…really meant a lot to me.” He mumbled out before blushing and looking down and away from her.

 

“You are welcome.” She replied before she regretfully started forward to the curb to hail a taxi.

 

“Wait!”

 

Kagome turned around and looked at the young man jogging to after her. What could he still want? Granted, she was more then willing to spend more time with him, she did not seem to understand why he would be running after her. She opened the door to the taxi and asked the driver to wait just a moment more.

 

When Inuyasha finally reached her, he did something that she never expected him, or any other man to do.

 

“Would you…like to get some coffee with me?”

 

“Huh?” she had to be hearing things. Did her god just ask her out on a date?

 

“It would be purely professional!” he rushed to say, his blush changing from one of embarrassment to mortification, “I would just like to get to know my part better. But that's alright, I guess that I can just go and find the book.”

 

He was about to walk away in defeat when he heard her whisper, “I'd love to.”

 

The look in his eyes, those big beautiful eyes, said worlds to her.

 

“Really? I know this great little place right off of Morrell Square.*

 

“Morrell Square? How far away is that from here?”

 

“Not too far. Maybe a ten-minute drive from here. I can take you there on my bike. Only if you want me to though.”

 

“I would like that,” she smiled at him before she turned around and told the driver that she had found an alternative ride and thanked him for his time. The driver grumbled some, but smiled at the hidden messages that he saw being sent from the two young people. They might not have known each other for long, but they were sending out all of the signs of love.

 

“I take it that you are not from here.” Inuyasha said once they started walking towards his bike.

 

“Yes. It is my first time in California. I take it that you did not just come here for the day.”

 

“Actually, I did. I have some friends up here that I come to visit all the time, but I did really just come for the day.”

 

“You're very committed.”

 

“You have to be if you wanna make it in anything. It probably just helps that I love acting,” he replied shoving his hands into his pockets as they walked down the street.

 

“I know all too well what you mean. I never would have finished that book if I didn't love it so much.”

 

“Just it?” he asked suspiciously.

 

“Yes. Why?” she asked uncertainly.

 

“Nothing. I was just wondering.”

 

“People don't wonder unless they have a reason to.” she retorted, putting fear in the young man's veins.

 

“You just seemed…very attached to your characters,” he phrased carefully looking away from her and down at his feet. He had never meant to unnerve her like this. It's just that, he wanted to know the truth in a way. When he had read the book, he too, like so may others, felt the connection between the fictional characters and the author. Like they were so much more then characters. That was what had made the story so good. He would never admit it, but he had been forced by one of his female friends to read the book. He had liked it, surprisingly, and so he ordered his own copy off the web.

 

“Very much so!” she oozed happily. “I absolutely loved writing about them.”

 

“It showed in the book,” he complimented.

 

“So you read it?”

 

“I…ah…maybe?”

 

“I won't tell anyone,” she told him well aware of the fact of how “girly” it was. She did not know why, but she felt like she could relax around this man. It was so odd being able to do that around someone of the opposite gender for her.

 

They finally came to his bike where he then took Kagome's bag and secured it into the compartment on the side used for carrying things. He strapped his helmet onto Kagome and tied back his hair before he threw his leg over the side of the bike to straddle it. Kagome took a deep breath. Was she really gonna go on a “date” with a guy? A guy that looked just like her beloved Sessomaru? Was this a dream? She did not care one-way or the other so long as she never woke up from this. She clamored onto the back of the bike, nervously wrapping her arms around his waist and bringing herself up against his back. Was she really hugging him? Was she really on the back of a motorcycle with the man of her dreams? Was that really a six-pack she felt through his shirt? She blushed at her last thought. The bike roared to life, vibrating beneath them. He told her to hold on tighter to him so that she would not fall off. Tighter? Any tighter and she was afraid that she would find an answer to one of her questions. She obeyed him though, not wanting to die a most tragic death. She was right. That was a six-pack she had felt.

 

They were off and the wind rushed by them as they flew down the streets. Being like this was so risky, yet taking this risk was exhilarating. She had never felt so alive. The lights around them tuned into snake like streaks of neon as they passed, distorting them from their true forms.

 

She closed her eyes in thought. Was she really and truly with her Sesshomaru, regardless of the fact that he was a half-demon? It seemed so hard to believe, yet it was true.

 

Sesshomaru…Inuyasha rather, was right. When they finally got to the café type coffee house, they ordered their drinks and she discovered that it was every bit as good as Starbucks if not more then. He led her up to an outdoor balcony on the second floor next to some potted plants. The view was stunning. Soft music hummed around them as she looked down at the busy night below.

 

“So then, what would you like to ask me?” she started off after she took another sip of her drink to break the comfortable silence that had settled around them.

 

“Well, I have many questions really,” Inuyasha confessed as he took his hair tie out and shook it loose so that is hung freely around his shoulders.

 

She had always wanted to run her fingers through Sesshomaru's silken tresses, though Sesshomaru's hair was longer. Inuyasha would either need to grow it out or he would have to get extensions. He looked great how he was right now, but he needed to look like her Sesshomaru.

 

“Well…why did you do it?”

 

“Write the story?”

 

“Yeah. I mean, do get me wrong, I like it, but you were so young when you did this and it is such a long book. How did you find time to live a normal life?”

 

“You mean go out on shopping sprees with friends and date guys?”

 

“Well, you did do that, didn't you?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

 

“Not…really,” she told him looking away with a blush on her face.

 

“The shopping, or the dating?” he pressed. This would be an interesting answer. She was an attractive woman, no matter the clothing or the constant odd finger movements.

 

“Both.” She told him, her blush deepening.

 

“So then, this is your first so called `date'?” he asked, both eyebrows now rising into his hairline.

 

“Maybe.”

 

He smirked at this.

 

“Well then, I will just have to make sure that you have a good first date.”

 

His smirk did not go away, even after he drank his coffee. This action only drew her attention to his lips. Would Sesshomaru's…Inuyasha's lips feel as soft as she had always thought them to be? Would they feel lush and smooth against hers?

 

Her gaze was not lost on Sesshomaru…Inuyasha, and his smirk only widened.

 

“So then, weren't there any men that caught your eye?”

 

“More like I did not catch theirs.” She told him before quickly changing the topic. “So why did I write it? Well, it mostly gave me something to do and it was fun.”

 

So what if that was not the real reason? That was why she had started writing in the first place. Only later did her reasons become more focused on a silver haired demon with the body of a god. It felt like this silver haired half-demon had a six-pack, but she might have to see him unhindered to know if he had to work on perfecting his body more.

 

She could not help but blush even more at that thought.

 

He was about to press her reasons further when she interrupted him.

 

“What else would you like to know?”

 

“Well, since I am going to play the part of Sesshomaru, how did you create his character?”

 

She created him to be the perfect man, and he was. She did not think that she could tell that though to Sesshomaru…Inuyasha though. What would he think?

 

“I just tried to make him seem fairly realistic when it came to his reactions.”

 

 

“So after a king searches the entire country for a woman and then gives up his crown to be with her after discovering that she is a peasant is realistic?”

 

He had her there.

 

“No…perhaps not, but if you are in love with someone, you will do anything for that person, if it means giving up everything.”

 

He nodded his head in understanding.

 

Kagome could not help but admire Sesshomaru's…Inuyasha's profile as he looked off of the balcony in thought. He looked so handsome, even with his pointed dog-ears. They were the only things standing in her way of believing that he really was Sesshomaru.

 

“Anything else?”

 

“Oh…I have plenty of questions, just not about the book anymore,” He smiled somewhat sadly.

 

She was just about to ask him what was wrong when she suddenly changed her mind. She too looked out over the balcony and let the soft music and hustle of the city envelop her in a warm blanket. She sipped her coffee every now and then and could not help but let her mind drift back to the question of if he would need to sculpt his body more. It would seem a little too risqué though and improper if she asked him back to her room and demand that he strip to see if his body was just right though.

 

She rubbed her hands up and down to try and ward of those thoughts, making Sesshomaru…Inuyasha think that she was cold. He offered to take her back to her hotel then and she happily accepted. She had liked spending time with him, but it was getting late and she had a long week ahead of her.

 

The young man put his hair up again and fastened the helmet onto Kagome before they took off into the night to her hotel room.

 

Maybe instead of asking him to strip for her, she could feel him through his shirt to see what he is like. It would be embarrassing, but she did not think that she had it in her to ask him to show her all that he was. She bit her lip before she slowly moved her hands upward to feel his pectorals, resulting in him swerving dangerously. They were almost at the hotel by then, so he picked up some speed to get there as soon as possible to ask her why the hell she was feeling him up on the back of his bike.

 

He pulled into the parking lot before turning around and pulling off the helmet to a very guilty looking young woman.

 

“Ya wanna tell me what that was all about?” he asked her after a moment.

 

She blushed and looked down at her fingers as they worried the bottom of her shirt.

 

“I was…um…well, you see, I was trying to see if you…had…the…right body for Sesshomaru.” she confessed, unable to look him in the eye as she told him these things.

 

He had to admit…it was a slightly amusing watching her try and explain herself, and he was not too angry with her. Just a little surprised that this was the reason that they had both almost died in a car crash.

 

“There is an easier way to see if I have the right body or not, you know. But it will cost you,” he told her as he helped her off of the bike.

 

Cost her! She was not going to hire this man as a…a…stripper!

 

“Oh yeah?”

 

“Yeah. Another date, this time not professional, and your cell phone number. Then maybe afterwards we can see if my body meets your standards.”

 

“Well, what if I don't agree to your payment.” She told him, crossing her arms over her chest.

 

“Oh, I am sure that we can find something for us to both agree on.” He told her, walking forward until his hands cupped her cheeks and he leaned down to kiss her on the lips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: I is ebil for cutting the kiss off there. The next chapter has the rest of the kiss, and it is more detailed there. Again…this IS an Inu/Kag story. I had someone complain to me about it being Sessh/Kag, and while it is in a way, all I can say is that it is really Inu/Kag. I cannot say much more without just handing over my plot, and that would be fun for no one. I am going to stop posting dates for updates at the end of chapters, and just post them on my website. You can find a link to the site in my bio. The tab to find the dates will be called “Calendar”, which I think is self-explanatory.

 

Why is it important to go and look at the calendar? Two words: SNEAK PEAK.

 

All websites will not allow for sneak peaks to be posted…but they never said that you cannot post sneak peaks on your OWN website. Call me a tease, but I like having them. You will only, however, be able to see the sneak peak for the next chapter. For example, you can see one for chapter three right now, but not for chapter four. You also have the option of seeing when the chapter will be updated but not see the sneak peak, as the SP is in a link, and the rest is self explanatory and you will understand it the second you see it. I am more then likely over explaining it as is. You will be able to see generally speaking the entire lay out for chapter posts for the up coming month laid out before you, so that is another plus.

 

On another note: my site has some fun free games that you can play, but to play them you have to sign up. Signing up is free, and makes the author feel loved. You want the author to fee loved.

 

You can (hopefully) use this “link” to go to the site now, but take out the spaces. If it does not show up, to my profile page you go! I promise I will try and make my A/N shorter next time too.

Hehe…yes…there are some many different directions that this can go in that it is rather entertaining to write. As for what direction it will really go in…well…we will just have to wait and see, no? I must say though…you are certainly catching on early. I am glad that this story is entertaining you so much though, and I hope that you will keep reading it. Thanks for the review and enjoy the rest of the story!

Hehe…well good! I was debating if I should end it there or not…but I figured that that was the best possible spot. I originally wrote the first twenty-seven pages out as one massive chapter, and while it might make for some strange chapter endings since I broke it up into smaller chapters, I think that in the end it will work out and that that ending was one of my better ones. I am glad that you like it though, and I hope that you will keep reading!

Hehe…you caught me! I just couldn't hold out…I just hope that it doesn't come back to bite me later…thanks for all of your help and I hope that you will enjoy where the story goes! Huggies!
