******STANDARD DISCLAIMER HERE***** I DON’T OWN INUYASHA IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM*******

A/N: A reply to some readers comment:

For those who hate the idea of Inuyasha being in love with Kikyo…..I’m sorry but Rumiko Takahashi had them that way first. I neither like nor dislike Kikyo or Kagome; they’re just the characters that are the main focus in Inuyasha’s life.

Second, sorry if I had the wrong group for the song Fukai Mori. I only wrote what I saw in the review. So, let me make amends now… Fukai Mori is by Do As Infinity.

Third, I just found out that some people are not voting because they have never heard of the songs before, or they are just not into old love songs. It’s okay if you don’t vote because off those reasons. I just like readers participation is a good thing, and I just want help in deciding their song. But, please continue to leave reviews, I like to know if my story is still on course.********** AND BELIEVE ME ANYBODY WHEN I START ALL THE LEMONS AND LIMES I’LL NEED EVERYONE OPIONION ***********

This is how the votes are so far:

YOU'RE THE INSPIRATION (Chicago) = 10

NEVER THOUGHT (Dan Hill) = 2

I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE (Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams) = 2

BACK AT ONE (Brian McKnight ) = 3

WHEN YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, (Josh Groban) =6

After I post the next chapter ….the voting polls will be closed….So, vote while you can. The song with the most votes wins!!!!!

I also would like to thank the following for their reviews….

Now let’s get back with the story…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last time….

After he finished, he slowly left the stage and went back to the couch and sat beside Miruko. All the girls were on the verge of crying because of the raw emotions that they hear as he sung the song.

“Inuyasha…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“ Inuyasha, why did you sing Kikyo’s favorite song?” Miruko questioned.

“That girl in the green dress…” He whispered and gestured toward Kagome on the sofa “She looks so much like Kikyo.”

Miruko looked at Kagome and he’s jaw dropped when he finally noticed the similarity she had to Kikyo. Her face, eyes, and body size were just like Kikyo’s, but only true different he saw was her hair style. The girl before him had hers loose falling down her back; while Kikyo had always had hers tied in back with some hanging loose around her ears.

“Inuyasha, yeah I see a likeness between her and Kikyo. But, man …she is not Kikyo. Kikyo is dead you have to let her go.” He whispered back.

“Damn it Miruko!!…” He yelled as he jumped off the sofa with his fists clenched, and hatred in his eyes all aim toward Miruko. But, suddenly his demeanor change as he fell back on the couch and whisper, “I know she’s dead. But when I saw her, something inside of me made me sing our song.” While the two men were engage in their conversation, they failed to notice the three pair of eyes that focus on them since Inuyasha’s outburst.

“What do you think that was all about?” Kagome whispered to the other girls.

“I don’t know, how about you Ayame?” Sango answered, as she looked on strangely.

Ayame knew the answer, but didn’t know if she should divulge the information. She couldn’t believe it herself that Inuyasha sang that song, she remembered at Forever Rest cemetery when everyone were saying their last goodbye to Kikyo’s casket. The moment Inuyasha stood in front of it, he began singing that song and at the end he lost it. It was the first time since she known him that she ever saw he cry, it took Miruko, Shippo, and Koharku to pull him away from her grave. After they brought him home, he had sworn in front of them that he would never sing again until he met Kikyo again in the afterlife.

‘So, why did he sing now?’ she wondered.

No one spoke for several minutes; the only noise made came from Kouga as he sipped the last of his drink. Miruko stood up and looked around at everyone’s solemn faces, ‘It time to turn this party back around. I guess I have to sing the song…’ he sighed and then walked over to the mic and made his selection.

“The song selected, Roland LaPrise “…

Everyone’s attention turned toward Miruko as the music played and he started singing,

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

Hokey-Pokey!!!

‘What the hell is wrong with him?’ Inuyasha thought as he watched Miruko dance around like an idiot. But, soon his miserable expression turned into a huge grin, and he started laughing.

Kouga, Shippo, and Koharku were sprawl across the sofa and floor laughing so hard that tears were coming out of their eyes as a result to Miruko’s antics. Sango, Kagome, and Souten were shock by song selection, but eventually laughed and began dancing along with Miruko. Ayame remained positioned on the sofa smiling and thinking, ‘Miruko, you definitely know what is needed sometimes.’ Then she stood up and started dancing with the rest of the girls.

“Y-you want me to live with you?!” Rin squealed, as she looked on at Sesshomaru, “We hardly know each other?!”

“Rin… please allow me to explain.” He said in a cool manner trying to calm the freaked out girl, “What I am suggesting is strictly a business proposition. You remarked that your debts are becoming insurmountable, and you’re present residence is raising your rent. I desire a model that is available at a moment notice, and someone I won‘t find tiresome. I think the solution to our problem lies within each other.”

“But…”

He raised his hand to stop her from speaking, “Allow me to continue. You would have your own room…rent free of course. You will also receive the usual model payment of seven hundred dollars a week. And, since I prefer to work early morning’s to mid-afternoon‘s, you have more than enough time to practice with that band.”

She was about to speak again, when he said, “ And I can assure you that your virtue is safe, my only interest in you is an artistic one. ”

The last part came out a bit hasher then he meant. But he didn’t want her to think that he was some kind of lecher, going around picking up girl. ‘Artistic, huh?’ His inner voice mocked, ‘Then explain why you were about to kiss her a while ago??’ He growled inwardly to silence the voice.

Rin couldn’t believe what was happening to her. In front of her a drop dead gorgeous man was literally handing a key to the solution to all her problems. She wouldn’t have to worry anymore about rent or holding down three jobs. She could have time to spend singing with the band, living her dreams.

But, the only pitfall to this wonderful dream was she that would have to show him her hideous, misshapen, obese body. The very idea frightened her, she knew the moment he saw her naked, he would be so horror-struck that he would call off the deal.

Then an idea came to her, “Sesshomaru…do I have to be naked for your modeling?”

Her question shocked him; some people understood that private modeling is usually a person in the nude. But, sensing the girl’s apprehension about posing nude in front of someone, he would work around it for now.

“I’m sure we can work around any discomforts you may have. So what is your answer, Rin?”

“This situation is definitely out of the ordinary.” She giggled nervously, before looking warmly into his eyes, “But I have a feeling I can trust you, Sesshomaru. So… yes I accept your offer. I just hope you don’t regret your decision.”

“Good. Now as for…” He was then interrupted by the waiter who returned to their table with the bill and waited. After he paid the bill, he helped Rin on with her coat, and started out toward the parking lot. “Well, would you like to go anyplace else or would you like to go home?” he asked while opening the door for her.

“Uh…if you don’t mind, can we go to the Wishing Well karaoke club? The band is there and I said that I would be there after dinner. Plus I would love to tell them the good news.”

“Rin…” he said as he grabbed her by the shoulders to face him, “I would prefer you not telling them about living with me. I don’t like anyone to knowing about my personal affairs, unless absolutely necessary.”

‘Of course, he wouldn’t want people to know he took pity on a fat girl.’ she thought sadly, but she bravely faced him with a smile and answer, “Okay, I’ll just tell them I found a new job, and I can practice with them more now.”

“Excellent…now your chariot awaits my lady.” He said, as he bowed and waited to help her into his car. She curtsy and laughed lightly as she got in, and soon they were off down the highway heading to club.

-----------------------------

“Alright who’s next?” Shippo asked eagerly. It has been an hour since Miruko sung his song, and everyone was back to having a great time.

“How about us.” a voice answer from the direction of the door. Everyone attention went that way, while Kouga got up smiling and went to the door.

“Dudes, I’m glad you made it.” he said, as he shook hands with two young men. One man was wearing jeans, a sheer black muscle shirt and his white hair was cut in a mohawk, while the other man wore khaki pants, white shirt, and his hair was gray with a mix of black in front. “Everyone I like to introduce you to Ginta and Hakkaku Watanabe. They’re in town for a couple of days, and I asked them to stop by. I hope you don’t mind?”

“Hey the more, the merrier.” Miruko said.

“Ginta?! Hakkaku?!” Ayame screamed as she ran to embrace the men.

“Ayame?! Damn girl, you’ve filled out nicely.” Ginta chuckled, as he hugged her tightly earning a disapproving look from Kouga.

“Why, haven’t you guys called me. I emailed you two my numbers month’s ago.” she commented while hugging Hakkaku.

“Well, you know how things are at …” was all Ginta could get out before Ayame pulled him and Hakkaku to the sofa to introduce them to the rest of the girls.

Several minutes had passed since the brothers had walked in, and Kouga sat fidgeting on the sofa as he watched Ayame and Ginta. Kouga knew that Ginta had a longtime crush on Ayame since the second grade, not that he cared. However, their secret whispers, and seeing her arm wrapped tightly around Ginta’s waist for some reason irritated him beyond words.

“Ahh…Kouga, is something wrong?” Kohaku asked.

“No! Why do you asked?!” he snarled.

“Because, you’re crushing the life of out that cup.”

Kouga looked down to see a crumpled Styrofoam cup and ice all over his pants. He immediately jumped off the sofa, throwing the destroyed item on the floor and stomped off to the restroom.

Everyone wondered what cause Kouga‘s outburst, when Shippo said, “You guys, we only have a few more hours before closing. So who’s going to be next?”

Just there the door opened again, “Hello everyone, sorry I‘m late.” Rin said, as she walked into the room.

“Rin!” Shippo and Kohaku said as they tried to out run each other to get to the young woman side.

“We’ll glad that you made it.” Shippo grinned.

“Yea, that dress is pretty on you. Would you like to sit down over on the sofa with us. ” Kohaku asked.

“Why thank you, but I don‘t think there will be enough room me and Sesshomaru.”

“Oh, Sesshomaru here.” Kohaku said unhappily.

“Yes, we were coming in when his phone rang. He told me to go on without him, but I’m sure he’ll be in shortly.” she said as she looked at the disappointed faces on the two young men.

“Rin, over here...” Ayame waved, “I have some friends I want you to meet.”

As Rin started too walked over when a strange feeling came over her. It felt as if a pair of cold hands was grabbing hold her body and refusing to let go. She had this type of feeling only a few times in her life, and after each time something terrible always happened.

“Rin… is something wrong?” Ayame asked.

She thought people might think that she was crazy if she told them about her sixth sense, so she decided not to say anything. “No, I just felt a chill in the air.” she replies.

“Oh…well I would like to introduce Ginta and Hakkaku Watanabe. Kouga and I grew up with them.” she said as Rin shook the two men hands. “I been telling them all about you and they love to hear you sing.”

“Ayame! I just walked in and I’m sure someone else wants to sing right now.” Rin said shyly.

“Come on Rin, we all like for you to sing now. Right everybody?”

“Yeah, sing a song Rin.” Kohaku said.

“We always like to hear you Rin.” Shippo added merrily.

Rin looked around the room and saw that every eye was on her, she sighed and said, “Where the song listing please?”

“Here you go.” Ayame answered, as she handed her the big black book.

She took a few moment and browse thru the book, when she come across a song she remember seeing in a movie when she was a kid.

‘I like this one. I hope they like it too.’ she thought as she stood in front of the mic and television monitor. She pushed in her selection and the computer voice come around the loud speakers, “The song selected, Kermit the Frog, “Rainbow Connection”

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side
Rainbow’s are visions
They’re only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they’re wrong wait and see

Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we’ll find it
That rainbow connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

All of us under it’s spell
We know that it’s probably magic

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I’ve heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they’re one and the same
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
There’s something that I’m supposed to be

Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo

Everyone applauded, and Ginta got off the couch and walked over to Rin, “You’re really good.” He then grabbed both of her hands in his, “What do you think Hakkaku?”

Just then, the door opened and Sesshomrau walked in, “Rin…
