I don't own Inuyasha. Just like the rest of you I wish that I did. Nor do I own Green Day and their song; or Avril Lavigne's `Nobody's Fool'.

Chapter 3

Kagome was sitting in her `director's chair' watching the tape of what she had done that day. Her brother Souta sat next to her watching as she did a few stretching moves on the tape.

“Kags, you're hopelessly crazy. But who cares; you're so good!”

“You're flattering me Souta so what is it that you want?”

“Nothing Kags, nothing at all,” he said. “You wanna grab a pizza on the way home?”

“Hells yes! Why would I miss the chance to eat junk with hot sauce?”

“It figures that you would say that. Well since we are all done here shall we go?”

“Yay! Time to eat fat food! By the way would you believe that I am broke right now? Mom won't let me get anything out of my account yet. The press would have a field day if they learned that there sweetheart of music only receives money from allowances.” Kagome and Souta sighed.

“All right, all right sis. I'll buy.”

“Yay! You're the bestest baby brother in the entire world Souta!” Kagome squealed as they walked out to the car. Kagome got in the passenger's side while Souta got in the driver's seat. Souta turned the radio on their favorite rock station and listened to several songs. Kagome and Souta started to sing along when Green Day's `Boulevard of Broken Dreams' came on.

“That was Green Day's `Boulevard of Broken Dreams'. Please stay tuned as we are about to do our safety tests.”

Then came on this loud annoying BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Kagome turned off the radio and sat back in her seat. She looked outside at the trees that they were passing.

“Souta?”

“Mmph. I mean what?”

“Do you remember Inuyasha?”

“All that I remember would be his ears, his hair, and his eyes. Everything else is a blank. Why did you ask?”

“I just remembered something very funny that he and I did to Kikyo when we were little.”

“You mean our dearest step cousin Kinky Ho.”

“Yep! That's the one. I miss Inuyasha. I haven't been able to get a hold of him in years.” Kagome could feel the tears that she hadn't shed for him in a long time start welling up in her eyes. She passed a hand over her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Don't worry sis, you'll get to see him again someday,” he said encouragingly.

“They want me to bring out a new album already Souta. I am being pressured so heavily to do so in the first place but it won't be my music. They are going to try and force me to sing the damn pop stuff that everyone else is singing.”

“Well there is nothing that we can do about it for now, sis. Here let's listen o something else.” Souta turned the radio back on and a new song came on. Kagome looked at Souta and smiled at him.

“Thanks Souta.”

“For what?”

“For being here Souta, with me. I don't know what I'd do with out you bro.”

When they finally got back home it was almost midnight. They tried to very quietly sneak in without being caught. Of course, they don't succeed and their mother scared them by doing the sitting in the chair by the lamp in the dark and then turning it on scaring the wits out of them.

“And why are you two so late in getting home? Surely it doesn't take that long to get home.”

“Well the shoot went later than expected and we had to miss diner so we grabbed some pizza on the way home,” Souta said truthfully.

“Yeah and when we went in the people kept on asking for my autograph, weird huh?” Kagome and Souta shared in a small giggle.

“I expect you to be up bright and early tomorrow. We are going to be visiting Grandpa early before his surgery.” Kagome and Souta hung their heads and felt tears stinging at the back of their eyes.

“Yes mom.” They replied in unison.

“Now go to bed.”

Kagome and Souta trudged up the steps and turned to their respective wings. When Kagome got to her room she immediately picked up her phone to call her in a few minutes ex boyfriend. She listened to it ring for a while and then heard him pick it up.

“Hello Babe,” came Naraku's sleepy voice.

“Don't call me Babe Naraku. Look we have ta talk.”

“Uh-oh. This doesn't sound too good. Did something go wrong at the shoot?”

“No, it went just fine. The reason that I am calling will only be bad for you.”

“Why? What is it Kagome?”

“Naraku, I can't-”

“Kagome get off the phone NOW!” Kagome's mother yelled.

“Sorry Naraku but I have got to go.”

“See yah when the sun shines fluerette.”(1)

“Sure.” Kagome turned the phone off. `How do mom's do that?' She wondered.

Kagome picked up her headphone's and turned it on to number one on the album; “Nobody's Fool” by Avril Lavigne.

Kagome was asleep before the song ended but as she closed her eyes she promised herself that she would leave Naraku in the dust and continue on with life the next day.
