I'M SO SORRY!!! I totally forgot about the songs and credits >.< THANK YOU TO TrinityK from MM.org for reminding me!!!

SONG INFORMATION!!!!

Well, let's start with the songs... They're actually Japanese songs and I used the translations as the lyrics since it would be better to understand for most people.

ALL the songs that I use are by Hamasaki Ayumi, the actual queen of j-pop. So this story is A LOT about her personal life with InuYasha twists and plots to it.

So the song in the last chapter was called “Winding Road” and the song that didn't get to finish that I will be using in later chapters is called “It Was”. In this chapter I will be using the song “Glitter”, there is a video on my homepage for the actual performance.)

Disclaimer -Although EVERYONE wishes to own InuYasha, there is only one person who truly does... ME!!! Jkay jkay! Rumiko Takahashi! I also don't own any of the songs by Hamasaki Ayumi or the links or the videos and everything, pretty much, that's about Hamasaki Ayumi... very sad...

Facing the Music

Chapter 2 - Coincidence? I Think Not!

“...How'd you get here?” Kagome asked gently, still a bit shaken from seeing him again.

“Uh... the security guard let me in.” He answered, like it was the simplest question in the world.

“Who the hell are you anyways, wench?” InuYasha asked as he crossed him arms and tried to stare her down.

They were standing in the room InuYasha had entered recently before when Kagome joined him.

“Wench?! Why the hell are you calling me wench?!” Feeling her anger rise to the challenge, Kagome mimicked his position and stared back.

“You never answered my question! I can call you whatever I want! I am, after all, InuYasha Takahashi.” He stated matter-of-factly.

“You have no right to ca-,” Kagome paled as she remembered the last part he said. “Did you just say... InuYasha Takahashi?”

InuYasha smirked at seeing her recognize him... finally.

`Now I get to order her around.' Liking the idea he grinned even more.

Kagome, on the other hand, was shocked to say the least. The only thought running through her mind was, `I slept with the most wanted bachelor in all of Japan?!'

“Now answer my question! Who are you?”

“You think that just because you're InuYasha Takahashi,” Kagome mocked, “You think you can order me around?! Well I have news for you mister! I'm-,”

“Kagome! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! You missed the entire merger meeting, so you're going to meet the Takahashi men now and then we have to go to the rehearsal for `Hey Hey Hey!' performance!” Sango reminded as she burst into the room and ran directly to Kagome, oblivious to the tension in the air.

“You're... Higurashi Kagome?” InuYasha gawked.

`I slept with the queen of Japan?!'

“Oh! InuYasha-sama! I see you've met Kagome-chan. Are you two getting along?” Sango asked, finally seeing InuYasha for the first time since she arrived.

“Just barely. Come on Sango. Goodbye InuYasha...san.” Kagome bit out before she spun around and left with a very confused Sango on her tail.

InuYasha was left alone in the room, rooted to the floor.

“Higurashi... Kagome. I slept with Kagome... How could I not have known it was her?!” InuYasha grumbled as he went to go find his father and brother.

...........................................

“It's so nice to finally meet you...all of you, Takahashi-san.” Kagome bowed to InuTaisho and Sesshoumaru.

“As you, Higurashi-san.” Instead of bowing back, InuTaisho enveloped Kagome into a hug.

“There's no need for formalities. You can just call me Kagome.” Kagome smiled as she returned the embrace.

“And you may call me InuTaisho, and this is my son, Sesshoumaru.” Letting her go, InuTaisho stepped back to let Sesshoumaru properly meet Kagome.

“Kagome.” Sesshoumaru nodded as he formally offered her a handshake.

Kagome smile grew even bigger as she ignored his outstretched hand and pulled him into a hug, much like InuTaisho had done a few minutes ago.

Sesshoumaru stood stiff and awkward like a deer caught in headlights, but slowly melted and returned the hug.

“I'm sorry for not being at the meeting today. I had a sudden spur-of-the-moment song that popped up in my mind that I just couldn't leave alone.” Kagome looked down in guilt as she explained.

“It's understandable. After all, you are the top vocalist in Japan. It must be quite stressful.” InuTaisho lifted her chin with his finger and gave her an understanding smile which returned Kagome's happiness back.

After all the introductions were made, Kagome sat down and talked to the two Takahashi men for a few minutes. Then Kagome was whisked away by a frantic Sango and ushered onto the top floor, where her closet, full of performance clothes both new and old, were stored.

............................................

“What a sweet girl. I'm glad the fame hasn't turned her into a snob like that other girl we met.” InuTaisho commented as he watched the door close.

Sesshoumaru nodded as a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Just as the click of the door closing, it opened again as InuYasha entered the room.

“InuYasha, you missed meeting Kagome. What a shame, I think you two would have gotten along quite well.”

`Better than you think father.' InuYasha smiled as he remembered that night.

“I'm glad he didn't meet her. He might have done something stupid and embarrassed the poor girl.” Sesshoumaru's monotone voice sounded in the room causing InuYasha to growl.

“For your information, I did meet her. We got along just fine.” InuYasha defended.

“Yeah, and I'm a demon lord from the feudal era.”

Fed up with his brother's mockeries, InuYasha walked out and slammed the door behind him.

...............................................

“Look! There's Kagome!” Someone shouted from the huge crowd that was surrounding the entrance of the Avex building.

“Kagome! Over here! Kagome!”

“Kagome!”

“Can I get an autograph?”

“Higurashi-san! How are you taking your latest break-up with Ookami?”

Kagome had just emerged from the Avex doors wearing a simple silver silk top and black skirt, with her white Dior sunglasses, diamond high heels and her white purse, when she was instantly bombarded with flashes of cameras, reporters crowding to ask questions, mixed with hundreds upon hundreds of screaming fans who were thrusting pieces of paper and writing utensils into her hands.

Being used to all the commotion, Kagome took one of the offered pens and started writing her autograph on various things and handing them back to the correct person. All the while, still waving and smiling to the crowd, but completely ignoring the Kouga question that had been asked.

Her five bodyguards that had come out with her made sure that everyone stayed away from Kagome, but close enough to get autographs and questions answered.

“Are you planning on releasing any new songs as of yet?”

“Actually, I just wrote a new one yesterday night. Though, I'm not sure if I'll produce it yet.”

“How does it feel to be living in your bungalow all alone?” Another reporter asked.

“It feels quite... spacious.” The crowd laughed at her response.

“Kagome, there have been witnesses that say they saw you and another man walk out together at a bar two nights ago. Is that true?”

Kagome immediately stopped signing her name on one of her albums and stared up at the reporter who asked the question.

“Yeah, I heard that too Kagome!”

“Who is he?”

“He's-,” She stumbled on her words but the reporters didn't seem to notice as they continued asking.

“People have claimed that they saw you with Kouga.”

“Have you two re-united?”

“No, we haven-,”

“Others claim that it was InuYasha Takahashi.”

There were distinct sounds of gasps in the crowd.

“Was it Japan's famous Takahashi brother, Kagome?”

“Are you seeing each other?”

“I can't-,”

“How long have you been together?”

“Does this mean that you were cheating on Kouga when you guys were still together?”

Kagome couldn't speak as the questions started overwhelming her.

`How could I get caught with InuYasha? Oh right... I was in public... drunk!'

There were microphones being jammed into her face for an answer, but all Kagome could do was stare.

She saw eager reporters, her dozens upon dozens of fans that had come to one music building to see her walk out, camcorder's zooming in on her, and flashes of cameras as they took her picture.

Feeling swarmed and uncomfortable, Kagome looked around for a way out, but found none, as she was surrounded by everyone, including her bodyguards.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her elbow and steadied her as she felt a warm body step beside her.

There was a pregnant pause in the crowd, before they broke out in screams and cries.

“It's InuYasha Takahashi! Ahhhhhhhhhh!” One of the fan girls screamed as she started to hyperventilate.

“He's so hot in person!” Someone else shouted.

“I can't believe Kagome and InuYasha are together!”

“They're so cute together!”

That was when the reporters started to swarm in again.

“So it's true, you and Kagome are a couple?”

“How long have you been official?”

“Was it you, InuYasha, that the witnesses spotted out in the bar?”

InuYasha seemed to be taking it quite calmly as he raised a hand to calm them down.

“Now everyone, I would like to say that Kagome and I are not a couple... yet.” InuYasha winked at the flushed Kagome as the crowd laughed.

“This was going to be announced later on, but seeing as how you guys are giving poor Kagome here a hard time, I might as well announce it now.”

“The reason why Kagome and I have been around each other so much now-a-days is because the Avex Corporation and Takahashi Co. are merging into one big company.”

A chorus of applause erupted out before the reporters started madly making phone calls on their cells and writing down in their notebooks.

“Unfortunately, I am unable to answer questions about the merger at the moment. It will all be answered at the scheduled conference meeting coming up soon. Thank you for your time, but we really must be going now.”

InuYasha ushered the still silent Kagome along as the bodyguards moved with them towards Kagome's waiting lounge van.

Still waving and smiling at the crowd, the doors closed and InuYasha sighed as he sat back into the cushion sofa.

“This is actually a really nice van. I should get one custom made too.” He muttered to himself as Kagome still stared at him through her sunglasses, as the van started towards the `Hey! Hey! Hey!' set.

“What?” He asked her, finally noticing her quietness.

“Thank you,” Kagome whispered as she bent her head down and replaced her glasses onto the top of her head before looking up.

“I'm sorry, what did you say? I'm not sure I caught that.” InuYasha teased as he leaned towards her.

Catching on to his amusement, Kagome crossed her arms and huffed.

“I said thank you.”

Finally satisfied, InuYasha leaned back once again and grinned from ear to ear.

“You're welcome.”

Kagome sat back on the sofa beside him, growling at him as she relaxed.

“Wow... I've only known you for almost 24 hours and already I'm rubbing off on you, huh?” He gently poked her to get her attention.

“Shut up.”

Rolling her eyes, Kagome turned away from him and took out her pink glittered cell phone from her purse. She had three cell phones. The current one she was holding was her personal phone for her friends and family, her blue glitter one for business, and her yellow glitter one, where the glitters were sorted so that they looked like the face of hello kitty, was meant for all the different types of calls she had to make without people knowing her real number.

Playing around with the phone and text messaging random people, Kagome soon got tired of it and placed it back into her purse.

Taking a peek over at the person beside her, she found him playing the game “Tetris” on his phone and cursing once in a while when he did something wrong.

Stifling her bubbling laughter inside of her was harder than Kagome thought as short small giggles escaped.

Catching her giggles, InuYasha looked up from his game and gave her a questioning look.

“You look like you're five years old playing video games.” Kagome gasped through her laughter.

Amusement glittered in his eyes as an idea popped into his head.

“Oh you think that's funny?” He whispered as he started prowling towards her.

Not noticing, Kagome continued to laugh as she nodded.

A scream erupted from her throat as the man beside her tackled her to the lounge floor and started tickling her sides and poking her.

“Stop! Can't... can't... breathe!” Kagome gasped out as she tried to stop his hands.

“Not until you say that you're sorry and you'll never call me a child again.”

“No!”

“Come on Kagome, you're turning red.”

“Okay! Okay!” She gave in.

Stopping his tickle torture on her so that she could breathe to talk, InuYasha waited patiently for her to get her breath back.

“I'm sorry I called you a five year old child... even though you did look like one.” Kagome innocently smiled up at him.

Smiling at her tactic, InuYasha looked down at her and finally realized how intimate of a position they were in.

When he lunged at her, he ended up straddling Kagome with his hands under her shirt to tickle her bare stomach. Her skirt had ridden up a bit high on her thighs as she was struggling from the laugh attack.

Seeming to notice their position as well, Kagome cleared her throat as she felt a blush creep up her neck.

“Can... can I get up now?” She squeaked.

Snapping out of his trance, InuYasha's cheeks flared red as he got off of her and sat down on the seat again.

Standing up and pulling her shirt back down, Kagome took a seat beside him as an awkward silence filled the air.

Kagome started when the intercom connecting the back of the van to the front, which was sealed off by a tinted window much like a limo, beeped as Kagome quickly pushed the button to speak and answered.

“We'll be arriving in less than five minutes Ms. Kagome.”

“Thank you Shin.”

Sitting back, Kagome suddenly wondered InuYasha was going to do when they got there.

“Uh... InuYasha. Are you taking a car back to the building or somewhere once I'm dropped off or something?”

InuYasha, who had been looking out the window, turned to Kagome and met her eyes.

“Well, I was thinking I'd just stay there and watch you rehearse and see how you do things since we are going to be working together a lot now.”

“Oh.”

He opened his mouth to say something else, but stopped when the car stopped moving and the door opened to the back door of the `Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ' set.

Glancing at InuYasha, Kagome got up and was escorted down and through the door by Stan, her most trusted bodyguard.

InuYasha quietly followed as he took in the surroundings of the set.

There were workers placing decorations and making seating arrangements for guests and stars. Some of the stars were on the stage and rehearsing while others sat and talked with each other.

He saw Kagome enter a dressing room with the girl that he had met that morning... what was her name again? Oh yes! Sango, Kagome's assistant. Deciding not to follow into her private room, so he went to take a seat near the stage and watch others rehearse.

Feeling his pocket vibrate quickly and quietly, InuYasha found the moving object and flipped it open.

“Hello, Takahashi InuYasha talking.”

“InuYasha.” Acknowledged the voice.

“Father.”

“Where are you right now?”

“I'm at the set with Kagome. Something wrong?”

“Everything's fine. I was just going to tell you to go to the set anyways, but since you're already there...” InuTaisho let his sentence trail off.

“How did you get there anyways?”

“I saved Kagome from the paparazzi and ended up going with her. Oh, I had to tell the press that we were merging with Kagome, but that's all I told them.” He added meekly, remembering all the other times that he had `accidentally' let something private leak out to the press.

Hearing an exasperated sigh on the other line he waited for his father to answer.

“This is the last time that I am going to tolerate this InuYasha. You need to learn that not everything we do can be shared to the world, and especially not the press, but this is your last time.” His voice promised pain if he were to disobey again.

“Yes father.”

“Good, now keep an eye out for Kagome. Make sure nothing goes wrong. I'm depending on you to look out for her when your brother or I am not present.”

InuYasha nodded, but remembering that his father could not see he quickly added a “yes father” at the end.

Hanging up the phone, he watched as Kagome exited her dressing room wearing a strapless silver dress that was covered in sparkles making her look ethereal when the dress reflected off the lights . The dress reached down to her mid thigh and was split into little splits at the bottom. Her high boots were also decorated to glitter and reached close to her knee. (There is a video on my homepage that has a video and song performance at Music Station by Hamasaki Ayumi.)

“You know, if you don't close your mouth soon, there's going to be an even larger drool pile than there already is.” A sharp feminine voice sounded from behind the gawking man.

Quickly shutting his mouth and giving one last look at the oblivious Kagome, he turned around to see none other than Senaka Kikyo.

“Kikyo.”

“I'm surprised to see you here InuYasha. Are you here to watch me perform?” She asked `innocently' as she took a seat beside him.

“You're performing here too?” InuYasha, who obviously didn't even know, asked.

Her smile instantly dropped as a scowl marred her features, but was quickly replaced once again by a smile.

“Oh! You're such a kidder InuYasha! You almost had me going there.” She waved it off as a joke.

“Yeah... Hehe. You know me. Love to kid around...” InuYasha nervously chuckled.

“Anyways, now that we're going to be working together,” Kikyo tried to say in a seductive voice, while scooted closer to InuYasha and started playing with the button of his dress shirt. “Why don't you and I get to know each other a bit more?” She finished with a wink.

“Uhh...”

Feeling very uncomfortable in his current position, he didn't know how to answer her question.

Luckily he didn't have to.

“Am I interrupting something?”

Kikyo's turned sharply to where the voice was coming from, her eyes narrowing as her eyes focused on the object of desire.

“Yes, you are, Higurashi.” Kikyo made sure to emphasize the last name with distain.

“Good.” Kagome answered happily as if Kikyo had said the opposite of what she did.

“Well it seems that we won't be getting anymore alone time with the other person here. I'll just talk to you another time. Bye InuYasha.” Kikyo gave a wave to the silent individual and walked past Kagome without acknowledgment.

“Well I see that you were getting acquainted with Kikyo.” Kagome bit out, trying to keep her anger under check.

Finally finding his voice, InuYasha stood up as he retorted, “I didn't do anything! She came up to me. I swear!”

Kagome crossed her arms and gave him a bland look that stated “I don't believe you.”

“Kagome, believe---Wait a minute... I don't have to prove anything to you. Besides, why do you care so much?” InuYasha snorted as he mimicked her position.

Kagome faltered for a second before she regained her composure.

Realization dawned on InuYasha as an idea popped into his head.

“You were jealous.” An evil glint shone in his eyes as he stared into her cinnamon orbs.

Her expression turned into complete shock.

“I was not!”

“Oh! You so were! Admit it Kagome. You were jealous that I was talking to another girl!” He accused.

“I was mad because--- because--- Ugh! I just wasn't jealous okay?!”

A winning smirk was marred onto his features as she avoided his eye contact.

“I have to go rehearse. Bye.” She quickly turned and went running back to the stage where her dancers were awaiting for her.

................................................................< /div>

All that she remembered was seeing InuYasha stare open mouthed at her when she emerged from the change room and then seeing Kikyo approach him released her anger.

The thing that really got her blood boiling was when Kikyo moved closer to him and whispered something to him and play with his shirt.

Her feet had moved on their own accord and the next thing she knew, she was standing in front of the pair.

Kagome felt her anger rise again as she thought of what he had accused her of.

`How could that jerk think that I'm jealous?! I've barely known him for twenty-four hours and he thinks that I have the right feelings towards him to be jealous at seeing him with other girls?'

`He had the gull to turn this whole thing on me! The only reason why I was mad at him was because he was talking to Kikyo! Yeah, that's why. He was talking to Kikyo! Of all the people... Kikyo!'

Finally deciding that she was mad because it was Kikyo he was talking to Kagome focused all her energy on her performance.

............................................................

Kikyo and other performers had already finished their performances and Kagome was last on the list (saved the best for last *hehe*).

InuYasha had been shocked at what Kikyo had worn on her performance. He would have said she was going on naked if it weren't for the bra-shaped top that only covered what bras were supposed to cover, and her thong-like bottoms. Everything else had been exposed and, much to InuYasha's surprise, he found himself unable to remove his eyes from her.

When it was Kagome's turn, he saw her enter the stage and was even more breathless when he had first seen her come out of the dressing room.

Her hair had been slightly curled to give a more natural, but curly look. A tinge more make-up had been added, although he liked it better when she wore less, and her aura seemed to be confident and strong.

He watched as they hosts, Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada asked her random questions and jokes.

...........................................................

“Last question before we let you get to the performance, Kagome.” Hitoshi Matsumoto said.

“Sure.” Kagome smiled warmly at him.

“We see that Takahashi InuYasha is here,” The camera zoomed over to where InuYasha had been instructed to sit. He waved at the camera and everyone around him, while the girls squealed and dreamily sighed at him.

“We were wondering, what is the relationship between you two?”

Kagome inwardly laughed at the question.

`If only you all knew...'

Their eyes met as Kagome contemplated the question.

`I guess the news about the merger doesn't come out until tomorrow either...'

“InuYasha and I are just friends right now.” She ended up saying, turning towards Hitoshi, she missed the flash of hurt pass through her `friends' eyes.

“I see. Well now that we have that answered you may go to the back now Kagome.” The other host, Masatoshi Hamada, said.

Thanking the crowd once again, she left to get ready...

................................................................. .... (Video of performance on homepage... but it's the one from Music Station not Hey!x3.)

We will shine more brightly this summer
Just making the most of the present

I'm remembering this time last year
And this time long ago
What I want has not changed after all
Yes, still believe in love!!

Strangely I remember clearly
The night when I was weeping alone
But I have no regrets
Yes, cause believe in love!!

Wow wow wow, Have you become an adult?
No no no, Unfortunately
Wow wow wow, But I don't stop the acceleration yet

We will shine more brightly this summer
We certainly feel our heartbeats of excitement
Wherever we may go in future
Please just make the most of the present

What exactly is the change?
That I can't cry in sad times
That I can't cry in sad times
So, I'll be with you!!

Wow wow wow, What is precious
Yeah yeah yeah, Is your smile
Wow wow wow, I feel sure I can fly for the sake of it

Our new journey will start this summer
I faintly sense uneasiness in the distance
Let's go to find the way again today
To that place we are dreaming of

You see? I think I know for certain
The reason of your smile and the meaning of your words

We will shine more brightly this summer
We certainly feel our heartbeats of excitement
Wherever we may go in future
Please just make the most of the present

The lights came on as the crowd roared out as she finished singing.

“Thank you!”

She retreated to her change room and changed into a more comfortable black dress. (It will be shown on the video link in my homepage.)

Thinking that she was done for the day, Kagome moved to leave the stage, when she was called back by Masatoshi.

Puzzled, Kagome rejoined them at the chairs and was even more confused when a big TV was brought out with some sort of white system underneath it.

“Surprise! Kagome we would like to invite you to play the new game “Wario Ware” on the Wii.” Hitoshi announced and the crowd all shouted out.

“Uh... I've never played this before...” Kagome shyly said.

“It's quite easy. You just—”

The next few minutes were used to explain to Kagome what she was supposed to do.

......................................................... (Watch Wii video on homepage here.)

InuYasha could not stop laughing at Kagome as she played... well `tried' to play the game.

He found her so cute and innocent right then, but also that she was more loose and didn't mind being making fun of herself in public, like other stars were so afraid of what they do and their self-image in public.

When Kagome finished, she was finally let go and InuYasha got up to follow her out.

................................................................. ...........

How was that? I added the last part about the Wii game at the end because I just couldn't stop laughing watching the video. Ayu was so cute so I was wondering what it would be like to put Kagome up there like that =P

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER!! Tell me some criticism. I don't mind, really. I like reading what I can do to improve my work and make it less... boring.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! HERE ARE THE ANSWERS AND PERSONAL THANKS TO ALL!

From FF.net—

AquaMiko808 - THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FIRST REVIEWER ON HERE!!!! Thanks for reviewing!!! I hope you liked the chapter and I can't wait to see what you think about it!

Crazysexycool - THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING!!! Well, I think I know what you're saying, but if it's what I think it is then I made Kikyo one of those stars haha. I don't like her at all, so I sort of made her a bit of a slut in this one (SORRY TO ALL KIKYO FANS OUT THERE!!). I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter. Tell me what I can do to improve it and what not to do if you have any opinions! Thanks again!

sesshomaru121 - Lol I think you meant good... unless it was really that good enough to be `god' status haha! Jkay jkay! Bad joke haha! Anyways, THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING!!! Hope you liked this chappie!

inuyashaloves kagome4ever - Lol! Here's more more more more!!! Hope you liked it though!! Please tell me what I can do to improve!! THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW!!

plainwhitelie- I'm glad that you liked the chapter! Hope you liked this one! Was this soon enough for you? I was kinda being lazy haha! Anywhooooo, THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING AND TELLING ME YOUR OPINIONS!!!

Inuyasha's girlfriend - Haha I love the username! I'm really glad that you thought my last chapter was that good. Did you enjoy this one? THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW!!

Gabriela-17 - It makes me happy to hear that you really liked the story so far. Hope you liked this chapter! Unfortunately, I didn't seem to explain myself so well in the last chapter on the characters... sorry about that. Kagome is the number one singer in ALL of Japan, hence the name `Queen of J-pop'. Sango is her best friend/assistant. She makes sure that Kagome is on track of her schedule and at the same time she's there for Kagome to talk to. InuYasha, he's just a business man. Their company, Takahashi Co., is the top most valuable company in Japan and InuYasha is the most wanted bachelor of Japan as well. His company has merged with Kagome's company because Avex is the second most valuable company (thanks to Kagome mostly) and they thought that it would bring up their stocks amazingly high if they merged together. Besides, I think that InuTaisho and Sesshoumaru adore Kagome in the first place so they wanted to merge, but I'll make their relationship more family-like in the other chapters. I hope that cleared up some stuff. Please tell me how I can make it clearer for other people to read if it's too subtle or confusing. THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW AND ASKING QUESTIONS... Or summarizing!!! Haha. THANK YOU!!

It really pushes me forward to write faster and give everyone another chapter!! I would love to hear what you have to say about my story and what I can do to improve it!! I hope you all liked this chapter... to me it seems a bit boring, so this is where you guys come in and tell me what to do!!!

IF I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO MISS SOMEONE IN MY REVIEWS, PLEASE TELL ME RIGHT AWAY AND I WILL REPLY TO YOU ON HERE!! I'M SORRY IF I DID FORGET ANYONE!! I'm a bit tired right now since it's a school night and I'm still up writing this story to finish it and reviews ^.^ THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE CHAPTER!! NEXT ONE COMING UP... soon... i hope!! Lol.

I'M REQUESTING HELP FOR SOME MORE HUMOUR IN MY CHAPTERS!!! If you could help me in making my stories funnier and more joyful, then please give me some suggestions. You can either private message me or e-mail me or say in the review!!! I think my story is rather bland and needs some good creativeness in it!!! THANK YOU TO ALL!!

Anyways, I've wasted enough time on the ending credits and everything. I hope to see new reviewers and the same people back! Thank you for reading my story! I will start writing chapter three right when I finish posting this, but I need sleep first *hehe*.

Ja ne for now!!

Kuru-chan.
