InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dear Diary ❯ Pictures Of Me ( Chapter 18 )

We could only wish that we all owned Inuyasha and the others, but, sadly, they are all owned by their rightful owners. I do own Derek & Melissa (Inuyasha's girlfriend) though.

“How what?”

I jumped out of the bed, grabbing at my chest and landing on the floor with a loud thud. I heard a small giggle from the door as I slowly pulled myself up to a sitting position with the help of the bed.

There she was. Just sitting at the edge of my bed. The person that flooded my mind every second of the day.

Kagome.

“N-n-nothing,” I stutter as I sit back on the bed, “What are you doing up anyway?”

“I can't sleep,” she muttered, looking at the wall across the bed, “its weird to be back home. And it took me forever to get Souta to sleep after he found out that there are so many youkai in here. He doesn't trust Sesshomaru after what happened last time and now he worries that the rest of you will all try something like it.”

“What is up with you and Sesshomaru anyway?” I asked, trying my best not to sound too curious.

“Same thing as nearly everyone,” she mutters, turning back to me and smiling a little, “he was after the Shikon jewel a little after I got it. I accidentally learned how to reveal people for what they really are that day. That's how I did it when he was after the jewel. That's how come I wasn't surprised when Sesshomaru became youkai in the kitchen before.”

I continued to stare at her, my exposed ears fully trained on her. She swore to us all that she had made a barrier around the shrine so that even if people walked in, they couldn't see us for what we really were. She wanted us to be the real us around her.

She stared back at me, smiling slightly. Her eyes flicked to my ears and I moved them slightly, causing her smile to widen. She moved closer to me, sitting so that our knees were touching. She reached up slowly, hand extending towards my ears. I leaned forward, letting her know that it was okay.

She rubbed them between her thumb and forefinger, very nearly reducing me to putty. I relaxed and growled softly. It must have shocked her because she suddenly stopped rubbing them. Nuzzling further into her hand, she slowly continued to rub as I shifted around so that I was lying in her lap.

Eventually, I fell asleep, wrapped in her scent.

Kagome's POV

 

He fell asleep on me.

He was smiling.

He listened.

He growled???

Does that mean he liked it?

Shaking my head, I slowly got out of his grasp and placed a pillow under his head, leaving him asleep. I slowly left the room, not wanting to wake him as I left. Something inside me wanted to go back to him, to lie there with him and sleep in his arms. Yet even I was smart enough to know that he was still hurting over Mel.

My blood boiled as she came back to my mind. How could she do that to someone like him? He obviously loved her with everything he was and probably even his youkai was screaming for her. How could she just go off and fuck some other fucker and leave Inuyasha like that.

Then again, they were supposably still together. Neither one of them had really called it off.

I sighed as I moved to the lounge, sitting down with a plop. I grabbed a few of the cushions that were close and pulled them all to my side, keeping my arm around them and lying on top. I grabbed the TV remote off the arm of the lounge and flicked the TV on, making sure that I turned the volume right down.

The first thing I see on the TV is a picture of my own face.

 

O.o

 

“What has happened to the famous pop star Kagome Higurashi?” the reporter said through the TV, “She has been mysteriously missing from our country and not even her `friends' know where she is.”

“She used to talk about going away every now and then,” Eri said through the screen, looking straight at the camera, “But none of us really took her seriously. Maybe we should have?”

“Yeah,” I say sarcastically at the screen, “maybe you should have. God you always were a dumb bitch Eri.”

“Kagome-chan hasn't gone far,” Yuka chirped happily, sitting next to Eri, “she will be back. She loves us too much to stay away for long.”

“Yeah right,” I say to the screen with a bit of a laugh, “You were always up yourself Yuka. Ever since primary school.”

“I hope Higurashi-chan hasn't gone,” a guy sitting between Ayumi and Eri said shyly, talking to the ground, “even though she doesn't know me well I wanted to get to know her. She was always down to earth and not up herself like a lot of the other celebrities. The only time she was ever angry or upset was when you guys all stalked her.”

“Its ok Hojo-kun,” Ayumi purred beside him, “she'll come back soon and you can meet her. I promise.”

“Yep. Just like you Ayumi,” I say with a hint of sarcasm, “making promises that you know cant always be kept.”

“She has been missing for near two months now and yet, her songs continue to come,” the reported continued, sitting at a desk in a studio, “her latest hit Unfaithful has been hitting stores all over the place and everyone wants to know how she got it. Does anyone know? I don't think so.”

“Even I don't know so don't fucking ask a goddamn question like that,” I shout at the TV, throwing a pillow at the screen.

“Tonight is the night that we go through the hits of the years that Kagome Higurashi has created,” the reporter continues, “starting with her very first hit Strawberry Kisses.”

My eyes widen as I look at the screen, watching the start to my very first hit fill the screen.

 

I've been missing

What you missing

Your strawberry kisses

I've been missing

What you missing

Your strawberry kisses

I've been missing

What you missing

Your strawberry kisses

 

I watch as a young me stands in front of the screen, wearing a pair of tight red jeans and spaghetti strapped tank top that was a few shades lighter than the pants. I was staring straight into the camera and moving my shoulders around a little, getting into the song.

 

Your mine

Oh oh

Yeah yeah

 

From the bottom of my heart

Boy I gotta tell you this

Since the day we been apart

You're the only one I miss

I'm like a tree with no roots

I just cant I've without you

Yeah yeah

Thought we were just a summer romance

Nothing but a passing fling

Seemed my heart had other plans

Now I'm a puppet on a string

Don't leave me dangling out there

Boy can't you tell how much I care

Still see the sunlight in your hair

Oh oh oh

 

A young guy had joined me in the dance, a guy that looked familiar. I wasn't sure of where I know him from, only that I knew him. His hair cascaded down his back, pulled into a tight ponytail that reached just below his shoulders. His golden eyes never left my own and now that I was watching the screen, there was something in his eyes that were calling out to me.

His dark blue jeans were the same as mine, his royal blue shirt covering the most of his torso. But something was still enticing about him.

 

I've been missing

Your strawberry kisses

Cause nothings as sweet

The taste still drives me crazy

I've been wishing

My strawberry kisses

Could fly through the wind

To you from me

 

I've been missing

What you missing

Your strawberry kisses

I've been missing

What you missing

Your strawberry kisses

 

There's no question at all

Boy, your tops on my lips

I'm falling head over toes

At the thought of your lips

I know your crying no no

Can't write those pretty words to show

Me how you feel deep inside

But oh-oh

 

I've been missing

Your strawberry kisses

Cause nothings as sweet

The taste still drives me crazy

I've been wishing

My strawberry kisses

Could fly through the wind

To you from me

 

I know what I'll do

When I find you

Your gonna make your girl

You gonna be mine

Even if I gotta search

The whole world

But oh-oh

 

The guy and I were dancing together, dancing around in each other's arms. It didn't show me singing anymore, just the two of us laughing and dancing. He picked me up bridal style and spun around, me having my hands above my head and laughing.

Even I could see that it was just pure fun back then. Now…

Now it was different.

 

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

 

Come on baby now

Gonna make you mine

Oh oh

 

I've been missing

Your strawberry kisses

Cause nothings as sweet

The taste still drives me crazy

I've been wishing

My strawberry kisses

Could fly through the wind

To you from me

 

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

Strawberry kisses

 

O.o

 

Other hits from me over the years played, causing me to watch the change in my music. Most people believed that the music of great artists were the link to their souls, yet my music had nothing to do with my souls. My music was about anything that was in my head at the time that I was writing.

“Last years hit was the biggest for Miss Higurashi,” the reported exclaimed happily, not seeming at all bored by having to go through my hits, “earning her respect and attention of almost all teenagers in the world. The all famous hit Right Back In The Water… here it is guys.”

I smiled as the sun poked its head over the horizon, shining slightly in the room. It lit the room up with the smallest hint of orange and gold, leaving it touched with a warm feeling about it. I watched as the music started and it showed me standing on the rail of a river, looking at my reflection in the water.

 

I could tell by the look in her eyes

Maybe I'm just another one of her lies

Cause I know we've been through this so many times

Still I'm here and I'm burning up inside

 

Eventually I got down and begun my slow walk down the pier. My joggers were covered with the navy bell bottomed jeans and my hands were tucked away in a blue and black-stripped hoddie, also covering some of my hair. The corners of some photos were pocking out of one of the pockets of my jeans.

 

And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself

She's the one for me

Cause her love is so contagious

It keeps pulling me in

We were meant to be

And I can't leave her, so

We're right back in the water

 

I could tell by the look in her eyes

All my friends keep telling me now's the time

But I know

Just the notion of saying goodbye

It breaks my heart it tears my up inside

 

And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself

She's the one for me

Cause her love is so contagious

It keeps pulling me in

We were meant to be

And I can't leave her, so

We're right back in the water

 

It kept flashing back to me standing with a guy, the same guy from the Strawberry Kisses clip. His eyes were a little darker than the last clip but it appeared that we were having fun. Until it showed some of me crying in front of him.

 

So we're right back singing

Oooh oooh c'mon oooh oooh c'mon

I wanna walk but there is something that wont let me

Singing oooh oooh c'mon oooh oooh c'mon

She's the one that's always there

I could tell by the look in her eyes

Maybe I'm just another one of her lies

 

And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself

She's the one for me

Cause her love is so contagious

It keeps pulling me in

We were meant to be

And I can't leave her, so

We're right back in the water

 

The photo's that were with me were ripped and thrown into the water, leaving them to float away as he comes up behind me and wraps me into a hug from behind, kissing me on the cheek and earning a little smile from me before the clip cut.

 

Shaking my head, I watched as a few of the other clips appeared on the screen behind the credits. Pictures of me were splashed across the background and even I could tell that I had a tear rolling down my cheek.

“Damn I miss that,” I say out loud, looking up at the roof.

“I thought you did,” Sesshomaru says as he comes through the door and looks at me, leaning against the doorframe, “just wasn't sure of how long it would have taken you to figure it out.”

“Sesshomaru-sama,” I turn to him, kneeling on the couch and resting my hands in my arms, crossed over the top of the chair, “why is it that people have to leave before some realise that they are important. Why did I have to leave Japan to realise how much I love it?”

“Just another one of life's mysteries Miss Higurashi,” he smirked as he offered me his hand, helping me up, “just another one.”

I hugged him around the waist before heading into the kitchen and getting a drink.

“Sometimes all people need is someone like you Sesshomaru-sama,” I say as I hand him a soda, “wise and bloody old.”

We both laughed at that.
