Chapter 2: Casting a part, and Kagome's first lesson

"Sis, whats for lunch?" Sota called from the living room, looking over a text book for information for his next Quiz for Wednesday.

Kagome stumbled into the room trying to get a sock on her left foot.

"Your old enough to make something, I have to go to work."

"But I'm studying" Kagome grumbled, "take a break, I really need to go…I won't be back till 7:00 ok" Sota nodded, he knew better not to fight with her because…well he wouldn't win in a long shot.

"Well have a good day then sis" Kagome hugged him, "see you Sota…oh call me on my cell if anything bad happens ok" "sure sure can I have Ginyume, come over?" Kagome smiled and nodded, they exchanged goodbyes and Kagome left to go to Wacdonald's where she currently worked.

After taking random orders and frying over a gill all day, she was done. She changed clothes in the washroom, for she didn't want to smell like grease, for the lessons.

"There now I'll just put my uniform in my purse, so I won't have to carry it so far." She said to herself, spraying strawberry blitz in her hair, afterwards she swung her purse over her shoulder and headed to the Theatre house.

She walked out of the restaurant and into the world, which was full of cloud and rain, swirling mist everywhere, the road damp and shinning with the help of the street lamps, Kagome walked onto the sidewalk.

She passed each street light one by one, car passing once in a while. She pulled her coat over her head, she never thought it would be raining, that was why she didn't have her umbrella.

She was down on the main street when she saw it. The place the accident occurred, with her mother, clips of that moment started to play, Kagome tried forcing it away, she started to smack her head, she needed to leave before she went crazy, running away alongside the road the sound of the water splash and settle as she ran on top of it, then finally there it was… the place she needed to go.

She opened the door finding the boy true to his word about the door being unlocked. She huffed, then seeing the ladder she gulped, heading in front of it.

`You can do this' she lifted a leg and an arm onto one of the bars, pulling along the opposite side up with her. She did this over and over, until she was halfway up. Then stupidly she glanced down, and her knees began to quiver. She raised her head back up, her eyes shut. "You can do this" she whispered to herself, raising a shaky hand to grasp another bar, the process was slow but she finally made it to the second last bar, her body shaking all over reaching again her foot slipped, and the ladder unbalanced it wobbled in mid-air. Kagome's eyes widened, "oh my god oh my god" the ladder started falling back, "INUYASHA!" She was about to fall off. She screamed, then two arms came around her arm and waist. She hung there for a second and felt the feeling of rising, then the feeling of metal beneath her. "Stupid girl, what were you doing!" Kagome looked up to see InuYasha staring at her through his mask. "Coming for my lessons, why else…You-you saved me" "so?!" he asked turning away, his face holding a blush. Kagome got up, "thank you.…I could have died." She said this slowly, realising just a minute ago she could have been dead…This rude boy wasn't so heartless after all. He snorted, "whatever.. just follow me, I don't feel like saving you again!" `Then again maybe he is' she thought following him to a mirror that swung sideways with part of the wall, revealing a staircase leading down. The door swung shut, their only light was torches along the rocky passage, it swirled like a snake till there was an oak door. They stopped in front of it InuYasha shouting. "Open you shitty piece of junk!" "InuYasha!" "What it's the password" the door opened and they paced inside. At the lesson InuYasha tested her voice to find out if she was a soprano, she had past as one. Then they bickered. He taught her how to transfer different notes and stretch her vocal chords. Then they bickered. He made her practice for an hour…Then…they bickered. The lesson ended at precisely 7:00. "See you tomorrow InuYasha good night!" InuYasha watched her leave, she was like him and in some ways not, InuYasha was actually upset to see her leave. He blinked, `I'm not upset I'm glad that smelly girl is gone!' but he knew this was a lie, but would never accept it. `You wanna kiss her, you wanna hug her' the voice in his head returned. `Oh no not you again!'

Kagome entered her room, sighing and falling onto her bed, she turned to set her alarm, remembering something her mother had once said in a story.

/ Mrs.Higurashi sat in a chair with a four year old Kagome upon her lap, holding a story book open before her. "The angel of music and the radiant girl lived happily ever after, never bothered by his darkness again, the end" Kagome smiled wide, "that was great mommy, read it again" Mrs. Higurashi laughed, ruffling her daughters hair. "Its time you went to bed Kagome, or the angel of music, will come and cast a spell on the one who's not in bed yet" she tickled her, Kagome giggling for her mom to stop. "Then he'll get you mommy" her mother smiled, "clever girl, but your mother can't even sing, he wouldn't want to bother me" "oh well, I'm not scared of him" Mrs.Higurashi chuckled, picking Kagome up and walking her to her room, flicking the light on, and placing Kagome inside the pink soft bed covers. She kissed her cheek, goodnight. Kagome responding in a yawn. "Good night Kagome" "night mommy" her mom got up to leave, "mommy will he really come?" She turned back, "maybe someday, if you want him to" Kagome knew her mother wasn't being serious she was only four then, and when they are that young you'll say anything to get them to sleep…But because then she was young she had believed her./

"The angel of music" Kagome laughed picturing InuYasha as him. "Oh ya he's a wonderful little angel" she yawned, "beautiful little angel" and fell asleep. Her dreams were that night full of InuYasha, re-hearing his singing from the lessons, as she stood there in darkness silver mist swirling around her as she stood there. She turned InuYasha was there, his face in the shadow with no mask on. She walked to him, trying to see his features, the darkness was to dark though. Her dream had a strange turn in the end she and him were kissing. She smiled in her sleep…well who wouldn't have a crush on his cocky personality. Her dreams were interrupted by the annoying buzzing of her alarm, plunged out of her dreams, her eyes opened quite slowly. "That was unusual" she yawned getting out of her bed and turning off the alarm. She walked downstairs to begin breakfast, when she heard Sota call. "Sis can you get me some toilet paper!" She rolled her, `what a dork' and headed over to the closet, opening the door and taking a roll and flinging in the washroom. "ow!….Thanks" Kagome went back to cooking, afterwards when they were both at the table eating breakfast, Kagome was non-stop thinking of her dream. `What was that all about? I couldn't possibly like him I mean-` she sighed into her coffee, taking a short draft. Sota watched her face etch into her usual thinking expression. "Sis whats on your mind you seem sort of- quiet than usual" she smiled to his concern, but there was no way she would be able to tell him about her lessons and, InuYasha. "Oh I don't have anything on my mind rather than just bills" she lied, taking around draft hoping that Sota would believe her. "Oh…So are you staying out till 7:00 again?" Kagome placed down her coffee. "Ya…ya I will be" Sota gave her an I-know-whats-going-on look. "I knew it!" Kagome choked on her toast, coughing it into her napkin. "Know what?" Her voice a tiny hoarse. "Soooo who's the boy, is he strong and handsome like me" Sota inquired feeling rather high of himself. Kagome laughed, "no no no there is no boy, jeez I can't believe you asked me that." Sota smirked, "sure sure…but I see it all over your face" he got up and placed his empty dishes at the sink, and left to go watch t.v. `He can see it all over my face? What can he see?'

"Your still not loud enough!" InuYasha retorted in his frustration, sitting down on a low cushion. "Well I'm trying ok!" She sat down next to him, fixing her skirt. "Whatever" he answered. Kagome gazed around the room, "InuYasha?" "What" He turned his face, not knowing how close Kagome was sitting to him, their faces looking at each other, Kagome cleared her throat, InuYasha looked away. "What do you um eat?" InuYasha cocked an eyebrow. "I steal the flyman's food, uh I think his name was Homo or sumthin" Kagome giggled, "ever had ramen" he shot his head sideways to her, "I love that stuff! I haven't had it for a while though" "really?…Then come on" InuYasha slanted his eyebrows in a quizzical look, watching her get to her feet. "Come where?" "Well to my house obviously, come on" "Kagome I don't think I can…" Kagome pulled him up, "try I know you are a demon by your hair, so you must be fast no one will ever see you" InuYasha looked at her, his family like hers had perished out there, and being what he was, he just locked it all away, living below the theatre for 15 years….but he was more braver now. "Get on my back than" "huh?" "Your to slow compared to me" she nodded and was pulled into a piggyback ride, after a moment he sprinted out of his little "lair" and over all the building, Kagome telling him the directions.

"That's hot chocolate you honestly never had that before?" Kagome asked, watching him scarf the food down. "no" he mustered before slurping up more noodles. "Say, when your done how about a movie?" InuYasha swallowed and questioned, "movie?" "You've gotta be kidding me…Well um it's a bunch of images that tell a story um there are characters and words and songs.." "like a play?" "Uh sort of! But its not live… Also the effects are better" InuYasha nodded, "ok" and finished eating. They watched `Lord of the Rings.' The two were sitting on the couch. Kagome yawned, it was getting late and the movie was so long. Her eyes began to droop, until her vision went to dreamland, sleep bringing her head down upon InuYasha's shoulder, he flinched starting to blush. He moved a arm over her. "Goodnight Kagome"

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Kagome awoke the next morning InuYasha was gone. She had dreamt the same thing again.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The week went by mostly the same, lessons, sleep, work etc. And now it was Eri's big character casting day, so Kagome was on her way to that. She was just outside when Ayumi her other friend grabbed her arm. "Come Kagome we've been waiting for you" she pulled her inside. "I'm late?" "No but we have been calling you and calling you, because everyone came early they miss heard Eri's time, bunch of baka's really" "ya I agree" they entered the room with the stage and there sure enough was Eri turned around and Yuka with two other people she had never seen before, one was male with chestnut brown hair, some ring earrings and very thin eyebrows. The other was female, she had pretty dark hair, magenta firm piercing eyes, with some blue eye shadow on her eyelids, a skinny figure, with a skinny bridge small nose that from a short distance looked like nothing. Her lips had crimson red lipstick, that made them look even more puffy. Once they saw Kagome, they smiled warmly. "Hey Eri who um are these two people?" Eri turned around like she just knew she was there. "Oh hi!" Eri smiled. ……… "um who are they" she pointed to the two. Eri smacked her forehead, "you just asked me that didn't you?" Kagome nodded "ya" "I feel so stupid today, if my head wasn't attached I'd forget it in a sewer… anyway." She pointed to the man on her left. "This is now the new manager of this theatre house, this is because Mr.Yumiro is turning in to retire," she grinned proudly and very high of herself, that she remembered that much. "His name?" "Oh ya his name" right here is where everyone did an anime fall. "He is Miroku-sama" Kagome bowed before him, "hello" "no need to bow we are all friends here, in my land we hug" Kagome had a dry face never noticing her friends gestures `not to go near him' as she was pulled in a hug...until. "Ack! GET AWAY!" She pushed him away from her, her butt feeling intruded. Miroku sighed, "well at least I didn't get smacked this ti-" smack. His face had a hand print along his cheek. "There is no good side" Eri had a shuffled nervous laugh, turning to the other. "Um anyway this is going to be the Opera's choreographer and costume designer"…yet another proud smile. "a-hem" they all said at the same time. "Oh right, her name is Anju-sama" the lady smiled. "Don't worry I'm not a lezzy its nice to meet you Kagome" they both bowed. "Also I'll have you meet my daughter" she moved revealing a girl, with ballet slippers on, holding a rail and moving her leg straight up and down, she was getting ready for a pirouette (sp?). "Her name is Sango, she is one of the performers for the show" "does she perform for anywhere else?" Miroku asked, "you pig!" he was smacked. "She looks really good" Kagome replied, Sango right than tripped, falling on her butt. "Omf" "I'll help you" Miroku called running towards her. "No not you again" Sango cried, getting to her feet and running to the nearest dressing room. "Don't resist the power of love" Miroku chased after. "Good is in the eye of the beholder…But she's learning" Mrs.Anju said walking off to find the people who were trying out. "Have a seat Kagome" Yuka patted a chair next to her, they were all about to begin the try-outs. After the girls all settled, without Miroku Eri called for the first person. A huge fat lady walked on, believe me the sight was horrible. "I am trying out as prima donna" she had a weird accent. That was when Miroku took his seat, "woof, look at Sham-mu(sp?)" Miroku replied Eri saying. "Start the music for Miss?" "Mrs. Taxsi" "oh your telling me.. whoa wait a minute that's a girl" Miroku mumbled to Kagome, Kagome giggled. "Well start when you like" "start now" the music began, the singer was horrible just as much as her appearance. They thanked the lord once it was over. "Don't call us we'll call you" Miroku spoke then whispered "we'll call never" the whale bowed and walked away, leaving a noticeable dent from where she was standing. Next a boy came in centre stage, with silver hair golden eyes and pink eye shadow. "Name please" "I am lord Sesshomaru and I'm trying out for the leading man." InuYasha watched in the rafters, coming up to see what the racket was, "if that guy can sing soprano I'll laugh my fricken head off" the music began. The man was actually really good, but seeing as InuYasha was almost like Simon from American Idol, he snorted, "he sucks" (LOL could you see Sesshomaru singing Opera extremely high I think that would be funny but anyway.) The auditions rambled on and on till they were at the last girl, she seemed rather heartless and hateful…well pretty much a snot. "I am Kikyo, trying for the leading lady" and of course the music was started.

"Think of me, think of me fondly when we said goodbye

remember me once in a while please promise me you'll try" she continued the song till it ended, her being the best so far who tried for the leading lady…the prima donna. Eri bent over, "what do you think?" "I liked her" Yuka said, Miroku replied "she looks healthy enough to produce a healthy child" silence. Ayumi with a dry look said "not bad" and Kagome who was a tiny bit jealous replied, "she seems kind of a snot" she looked at their expressions, and sighed speaking low, "she was good" Eri grinned, and looked up. "Well than Kikyo you have the part" Kikyo smirked, whispering "knew it" bowing after she was told some details about the practices. InuYasha wasn't that pleased, "Kagome should have been the lead, this girl wasn't that great, Kagome is better" he watched Kikyo leave. "Oh this is going to be fun"

After all was finished they talked about the rest of the roles, Sesshomaru receiving lead boy, Kikyo leading lady and so on…The first rehearsal in one week.
