Chapter 3 - Rehearsal Dinner

“If you don't mind me asking, what happened between you and Kikyo anyways?” InuYasha asked suddenly as they were once again in Kagome's van.

A sigh escaped Kagome's lips before her voice filled the small vehicle.

“If you mean why we never get along, like back there at the station,” Kagome waited for the nod for affirmation before continuing. “You know, we were once best friends.”

Smiling sadly at the memory and completely missing the shocked expression of the person beside her she continued, “We would do everything together when we were just little children. We were inseparable... but then my grandmother came down with a sudden sickness when I just finished middle school and my mother had to juggle three jobs to try and pay for our rent and food. I had to drop out of high school later on to find a job as well to help the family. I tried to continue visiting Kikyo when she wasn't in school, but her father had refused saying that he didn't want Kikyo to be communicating with poor drop outs like me.”

Her smile of sadness became twisted into a bitter-sweet one as InuYasha felt his heart fill with sympathy for the girl.

“Then my family moved to Tokyo while my grandmother stayed in the hospital in Fukuoka and I was able to get an acting part in a movie here. It paid quite well and with my mother's money to join, we were doing okay. When Akira found me and finally convinced me to sign the contract I had been re-united with Kikyo a few years later after my trip to New York. She's changed so much... no longer the girl I used to call my sister...” She trailed off as if lost to her thoughts.

“How so?” He prodded gently, curiosity getting the better of him.

Snapping out of her momentary lapse, Kagome looked at him before looking down to her hands in her lap.

“She was... cold. Her eyes no longer held any of the emotions that once made her sweet and gentle anymore. It's like she was consumed by her own father's greediness for power and dispassion for those around them. I tried to re-establish our relationship again, but she wouldn't even speak to me. When she looked at me, it was like she was looking down on me and lowering me to herself.”

“When I found out that she didn't actually work her way up the charts and that her father had actually paid people, with gosh knows where he gets the money to be that rich, for her to get up that high, but wasn't able to get her past me no matter how high he bribed people. So I confronted her and she simply brushed it off like it was nothing and being mad at me because she couldn't buy her way past me. I couldn't stand the fact that she was lying to both her fans and to everyone who worked at the Avex building that helped her so now we're pretty much stuck between loathing each other and having to work together on cameras.” Kagome ended with a soft sigh.

A bit winded by all the new information that was given to him, InuYasha sat in silence while Kagome fiddled with her hands in her lap.

“I... I had no idea. I'm sorry for intruding.” He mumbled as he felt uncomfortable for making Kagome stop into such a depressed state.

'And to think that I thought she lived an easy life with all her fans and money...'

Suddenly, her grim face was gone and her brilliant smile was back.

“It's not a problem at all. Now tell me InuYasha...”

Kagome and InuYasha talked and talked until they had arrived to Kagome's home.

“Holy crap! You live in this place by yourself?!”

He was unable to keep the words from slipping out his mouth when he entered her front door.

“InuYasha... you've been here before. Why the hell did you think that I'd have another person living here?”

“Right... Well last time we were kinda busy, if you don't remember Kagome.” InuYasha teased at the bushing singer before he followed her to the kitchen.

“Besides, I didn't really take notice of how big and... empty this place was.”

He noticed Kagome stiffening when he finished his sentence.

“What'd I say?”

She shook her as she made a grab for the lights and headed to the counter to sit on the chair.

“Nothing.”

“Liar.”

“Really, nothing.”

“Stop lying Kagome. What'd I say?”

“I already told you! Nothing! You didn't say anything! Now would you just shut up and leave it alone?!” Kagome's sudden outburst caused InuYasha to take a step back and close his usually outspoken mouth.

Sighing, Kagome rubbed her temples as she felt an oncoming headache approach.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spaz like that. I guess it's just all this stress is getting to me.”

“Kagome... what's bothering you?” InuYasha tentatively asked as he started to make his way towards her.

Earning another sigh from the distressed girl, he sat beside her on the stool and waited patiently.

“I never used to live in this house alone. I had over ten people living here at a time... actually, they weren't really my friends. They were my ex-boyfriend's, Kouga.”

InuYasha snorted at hearing the name.

“You don't happen to mean that asshole, Kouga Ookami from Shard, do you?”

“Yeah... why?” Kagome was slightly surprised that he had not heard of her and Kouga since it was all over the news.

“That show-off used to go to high school with me. We were rivals and he never got over the fact that I beat him at everything... still do too.” InuYasha smirked remembering all the matches they had.

“Oh... He never told me about you.”

“Sorry I interrupted. Continue.”

“Right. So Kouga and I dated for seven years and he had moved into this house with me about... 2 years into our relationship. He would regularly have friends over who would sleep over and just hang but here even when I'm gone. So really, this place used to never be empty.” She concluded.

“What exactly happened between you and Kouga, Kagome?”

“Might as well tell you... the whole world knows about it anyways.” Kagome mumbled to herself.

“Let's see... Kouga and I had been together for seven years. We were completely in love... at least I thought we were. One night, I came home earlier than usual from an Avex meeting and as usual, Kouga's friends were all sprawled on the floor and couches in my theatre room downstairs. They were drunk and all passed out, but Kouga wasn't among them. So I went up to change in my room and I heard noises coming from one of the guest bedrooms. I went to see what it was and found Kouga in bed with a person who I had thought was my best friend.”

“...Kagome...” InuYasha felt contrite fill his heart as she finished. Once again in that same day he was unable to comfort Kagome as he was the reason she was reliving such horrible pasts.

His blood boiled at the thought of what Kouga had done to her. She was so innocent and pure and yet he had to go and sleep with another person behind her back... her best friend of all people!

Suddenly his front pants pocket started to vibrate causing his train of thoughts to abruptly end.

“Who the hell calls me at 1 in the morning?!” InuYasha thought out loud.

Looking at the caller ID, he confirmed it to be his father.

“Father.”

“InuYasha, where are you? I asked you to look after Kagome, not go out partying!” InuTaisho's voice boomed on the other line.

“I'm not partying! I'm at her house right now. We just got home.” He defended.

Kagome, who had been patiently waiting, decided to go get changed and signalled him that she'd be back.

Getting a nod in return she made her way up her stairs to the top floor.

“Oh... well then good. I don't want you to shrug your responsibilities off.” He scolded.

“Yes father.”

“I would like to inform you that the conference meeting with the press about the merger will be held two days from tomorrow at 5.”

“Okay. I'll be there.”

“Also, Kagome has planned another concert tour in a few months. So she will need to start setting everything up the day after tomorrow, I believe that is what Sango told me. If you're not busy I'd like you to go help her if she needs it and to get used to what her work is like.”

“Love to father.” InuYasha smirked at the thought of seeing Kagome more and more now.

“Good. Now are you going to stay there or are you coming home?”

“I have to go home tonight anyways. Sesshoumaru sent me some papers that need to be looked at before tomorrow about some band for Akira.”

“Ah yes! The papers with TOKIO (for those that do not know, TOKIO is the band that Ayumi Hamasaki's 7-year ex boyfriend, Tomoya Nagase, belongs to.), I heard that they are quite good. Perhaps it would be a good idea to join them to the company...” InuTaisho muttered to himself.

“Okay then, I'll see you at home then son. Bye.”

Hearing his father hang up, InuYasha flipped his phone closed just as Kagome walked in sporting a comfortable pair of sweat pants and a white tank top.

“Hey.”

“Hey Takahashi.”

“So you're calling me Takahashi now are you?” InuYasha wiggled his eyebrows at her.

Rolling her eyes, Kagome playfully hit him on the arm before making her way to the fridge and getting out a bottle of water.

“Thirsty?”

“Nah, I'm good. I have to be heading out anyways. I have papers to look over.” InuYasha made a face of disgust, making Kagome laugh.

“Alright, I'll let you go... But just for tonight.” Kagome joked as she winked at him, barely being able to contain her laughter.

“On second thought,” InuYasha leaned down towards her as his voice lowered to a husky whisper. “Maybe I should just stay here for another night and show you what you missed out on the night we met...”

Kagome turned ten shades of red as she pushed a laughing InuYasha out her kitchen door.

“Stop teasing me about that!” Kagome pouted as she continued to get him down the stairs.

Still laughing at the tomato faced Kagome; InuYasha let her push him down the stairs before he could control his laughter.

“You brought it up first, not my fault I just played along.” He held his hands up in mock defence.

Huffing and crossing her arms, Kagome continued to pout at the man before her.

“Okay, okay. I'll leave you alone to sulk.” He smirked when she started a new fuming session.

Grabbing his jacket in the closet beside the door and turned back to see Kagome glaring intently at him.

“Out!” She shouted as she pointed to the door.

He would have taken seriously if he didn't see the glint of amusement in her eyes.

He mock saluted and walked with an emphasis in bringing his knees up to his chest to look like a soldier in a march.

Kagome closed the door behind her and leaned against it as she sighed.

“What am I going to do with you InuYasha.” She smiled as she trotted up to her room and into bed.

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

Grabbing a plastic cup from the stack of cups on the counter, Sango filled it with the coffee that had been brewed that morning in the Avex employee's kitchen. Her high ponytail that enclosed her long hair into the confines of a piece of string.

Mixing in her fair amount of sugar and cream and taking a whiff of the intoxicating smell, she took small sips as to not burn her tongue.

“Hello beautiful.” A masculine voice boomed behind her.

Yelping out in surprise at the sudden intrusion, Sango accidentally spilt the coffee onto her red silk dress shirt.

Hissing as the burning liquid made contact with her flesh through the confinements of her thin shirt.

There was a sound of scurrying footsteps behind her before a hand appeared with cold and wet tissues in one hand and dry ones in the other.

Taking the wet tissues from the offering hand, she quickly wiped away the cooling fluid with the cold napkin.

“Here, let me help you with that.”

A strong hand turned her around, causing her to come face to face with the man that had her to spill the coffee onto herself.

He had deep violet eyes and strong cheekbones. As far as she could see, his jet black hair was tied to the back of his head. The man was wearing a fuschia colored button-up dress shirt and black slacks with shiny black shoe-laced dress shoes. The very essence of business itself... except for the mischievous glint in his eyes.

She soon found out why as she felt a paper towel wipe her shirt, just above her breasts before moving slightly lower with each second.

Slapping his hand away, she gave him an incredulous look before roaring, “What the hell was that?!”

She was met with an innocent pair of eyes and a “What?”

“You were trying to feel me up! After you just split hot coffee on me?! Who the hell are you?!”

Feeling her face burn from the anger, Sango was just about ready to strange the stranger.

“For that I am truly sorry my lady. I did not mean to surprise you. My name's Miroku Hiroshii. I work under the employment of the Takahashi Co as an advisor for InuTaisho.”

Sango glared at the man who faked innocence.

“May I know the name of the beautiful lady before me?”He asked.

After continuing to glare at him for quite some time, Sango finaly answered his question.

“Sango Taijiya. I'm Kagome Higurashi's assistant.”

She tentatively accepted his offered hand.

“Ah! The best friend of the queen, herself. I've heard much about you. It's very nice to finally meet you dear Sango.” He gave her a charming smile as he released her hand.

“Yeah... you too...”

“Anyways, I hope that you can forgive me in what I have done to your blouse. I could help you clean up—”

“No!” She practically shouted, “ I mean... that's okay. I'm sure you're busy. Wouldnt' want to keep you.”

“Always understanding my dear Sango.”

`I've only known him for five minutes...' She thought dryly.

“I hope to see you around. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Sango turned back around to start cleaning up the coffee that had spilt, when she felt a hand suddenly touch her backside.

Out of instinct she turned around and smacked the person behind her.

“Miroku! You pervert!” She shouted at the retreating figure of the red hand printed man.

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

“—then Yoshio gets a solo and I'll strike up his guitar volume.” The music coordinator explained.

Two days had passed since her performance at the “Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ” show and now she was just starting her rehearsals for her “MY STORY (one of her albums) Arena Tour 2005” concert. (I know it's 20098 already, but the story will get there soon enough ^.^)

For the past two days she had been working out twice as much as she regularly did with her personal trainer, Tomo Ikezawa, to get more fit for the dances she was going to be doing. Then she had to start picking out the costumes, songs, and locations for her Arena Tour.

Today was the day that she went into this small music room in the Avex building to hear and sing the songs that were chosen with her band and a music coordinator (I dunno what the people who control the music levels and mic levels and everything called >.<) at 8 am. The day after, Sango had scheduled her for her, the dancers, and band members for their costume measurements at 7 am and then there was the conference meeting at 5 pm and then she was going out to dinner with the Takahashi's, Akira, and her mother.

Sango had scheduled her entire month out for the concert and the month after that for the actual rehearsals inside of the arena and the finishing touches before the first scheduled tour in the Yoyogi National Gymnasium on the 5th of May. (I'm going by her upcoming Countdown 10th Anniversary Tour 2008 schedule that is currently up on her official website right now.)

The next three months after that would be dedicated to all of the performances of the tour, with a few weeks of relaxation and more practices here and there.

“That sounds good? Great. Then let's start with the introduction song with the band and you can listen with your earphones for me to adjust the right volume for you.”

Kagome nodded a thank you as she went to join the band consisting of: Yoshio Nomura - the guitarist... and personally the second closest friend to her besides Sango - senior member and lead MC, Enrique - the bassist - senior member, Yoshihiro Tomonari - the keyboardist - senior member, Shimizu Shunya - another keyboardist - junior member, Shingo Kobayashi - a senior member, keyboardist, but he was just helping out Shimizu for the concert, Nobuo Eguchi - drummer - senior member, Koji Matsukawa - drummer - junior member, he was just there to learn more about his position for upcoming concerts, Masahiro Muta - drummer - senior member, he was on leave for the time being because he just welcomed his first baby girl into the family, Miwako Hamada - backup singer and choreography - senior member, Yoko Yamazaki - backup singer and choreographer - senior member, and Motohiro Tsuji - manipulator - senior member. (For pictures and a bit more information on them, the link is on my homepage. IT IS NOT MY WEBSITE!!)

“Let's start with the opening songs shall we?”

And so, Kagome practiced the songs and trying to find the right pitches for the music for the next eight hours.

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

Being stuck in the office from 7:30am to 6pm had not been his plans for the day.

He was supposed to be at the music rehearsals with Kagome today, but some piles of folders had kept him from doing so.

InuYasha growled as he looked at the last piece of paper in the folder containing the summary of the company's stocks and donations for the month.

`I've been sitting on my ass for the past ten and a half hours and all these folders are about crap.”

Finally, finished reading the report, he got up from his desk, tucked the pile of folders under his arm, and dropped the folders on his secretary's empty desk.

~Grrrrrrrrrrrr~

InuYasha froze his steps as he looked down at the source of the sudden sound...

His stomach.

“I never realized I was hungry...” He mumbled to himself.

Getting a sudden idea, InuYasha grinned from ear to ear as he groped through his jacket on the hanger for his cell phone.

Finding the desired object, he quickly dialled the numbers that had been stuck in his head since he had looked at them.

“...Hello?” Asked a soft feminine voice.

“Hey Kagome.”

“InuYasha?” A confused voice retorted.

“The one and only, babe.” He smirked at hearing her choke at his nickname for her.

`How I've missed teasing her these two days.'

“How the hell did you get my personal phone number?”

“It was on your information folder I got from the Avex building carrying the merger information.”

“Oh... well then what do you want Takahashi?” She snapped. Kagome was moody since she had spent the entire day practicing and wasn't in the mood for his crap.

“Chillax babe. Where are you?”

“At home... why?”

“Have you eaten dinner yet?”

“No... and would you stop answering my question with another question?” She growled in response.

“Good. I'm coming to pick you up in ten minutes. So go get ready and get rid of your pms moodswings.”

Chuckling at the sound of Kagome fuming on the other line, he hung up on her when she was still cursing him through the phone.

Shaking his head in amusement, InuYasha got into his suede jacket before he quickly left.

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

“Stupid Takahashi and his stupid man comebacks about PMSing woman when they're mad and his stupid... hair!” She ranted on and on as she sat on her bed.

After having hung up five minutes ago, Kagome was still sitting on her bed in her pyjamas.

“Hm... should I go? It's already...” glancing at her bedside alarm clock, she confirmed that it was 6:15pm.

“I could just ignore him when he comes knocking... but knowing him he'll just break down my door.”

Sighing, Kagome got up to get ready.

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

“—and what would the mademoiselle like to dine on this evening?” A heavily accented waiter with slick black hair and a black moustache that was curled on the edges asked Kagome.

“I'll have the oven-baked salmon with herbs please.” Kagome smiled cheerfully at the man.

“An excellent choice mademoiselle.” He complemented as he scribbled in his little notepad.

The waiter left them to get their orders in the small private booth in the back of the famous French restaurant, Kansei.

It was packed that night, as usual, with dozens of people. Kagome and InuYasha had made sure to cover their faces when they walked in or a whole new gossip topic about them would be flying around by tomorrow.

“Are you on some diet or something?” InuYasha asked as he loosened the red tie that he had been wearing all day with his black suit.

“As a matter of fact I am. I have to eat low carbs for the tour coming up. Can't get fat in front of my fans.” Kagome laughed at the look on InuYasha's face.

“You're already as skinny as a toothpick. Would you rather faint from an empty stomach on them?” He countered.

“Fish can still fill your stomach up, you know. It also makes you smarter... but you wouldn't know anything about that seeing as your brain can't even comprehend the word fish.” Kagome teased.

She had chosen a simple black dress that was sleeveless with black high heels. The dress slightly hugged her body, but left much to the imagination.

InuYasha's imagination, however, didn't need to be working since he had seen it all before. He inwardly smiled at the memories of her curves and perfection. He had been craving to run his fingers through her ebony locks again since after that night.

“InuYasha?”

Snapping out of his trance as Kagome waved a hand in front of his face, he remembered what their last topic was and how he never answered her last comment.

“Keh. I can comprehend the word fish jsut fine. See! Fish fish fish fish fish fish fish! Hah!”

Kagome rolled her eyes at the immaturity of it all.

“I didn't even realize that we were still on that topic since you zoned out on me.”

“I was just thinking... of stuff from work is all.” He covered up.

“Mm-hmm. That's why you were grinning like a cat over there.”

`I was grinning?!'

Not knowing what to say, InuYasha ended it with what he always did when he lost.

“Keh.”

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

They spent the next hour and half eating and fighting over incompetent things.

Kagome hadn't been able to finish her small plate of salmon and herbs, but had asked for refills of her water glass.

InuYasha on the other hand, had devoured a 6 pound steak with a side dish of two salads and downed three cups of wine. Followed by half a chocolate cake, which Kagome took no part in.

`I've never seen anyone eat so much in my entire life!' Kagome thought, astonished by the man's eating habits.

“Ugh! I'm so full!” He groaned as he stretched his arms above his head.

“I'm surprised your stomach hasn't blown yet.” Kagome mumbled.

“What was that?”

“Nothing.” She innocently smiled.

“Right.”

Quickly changing the subject, Kagome called the waiter to bring the check.

“I got it.” InuYasha offered as he grabbed the check from her hands.

“Fine, but I'm paying tip.”

She laid 2000 yen (about $20... BIG tip) on the table for tip since InuYasha had eaten over $100.

When they left the restaurant, Kagome had a sudden feeling that someone was watching them.

`Crap! Papparazzi caught us!'

But something was different... she had been followed by the papprazzi many times and this did not feel right.

Shaking the feeling out of her head, Kagome grabbed InuYasha's offered hand into the car as the door shut and he walked around the vehicle.

Arriving at Kagome's bungalow fifteen minutes later, InuYasha stopped the engine and turned towards Kagome.

“Now this is the part in movies where we kiss and end up making out.” He joked.

Rolling her eyes, Kagome couldn't hlp but smile at his not-so-funny jokes.

“Thank you for the dinner InuYasha.”

“Anytime. Thanks for the company. I'll see you tomorrow at rehearsals.”

“Okay. Good night.”

“ `Night.”

Getting out of the car, Kagome started to walk down her long pathway as InuYasha pulled out of the winding driveway before disappearing behind her neatly trimmed hedges.

She noticed that the wind had started to pick up as the street lights were too far away to shine enough light into her pathway.

The feeling of foreboding that she had before at the restaurant seemed to have returned as she quickened her strides to reach the door. Being paranoid as she was, she kept checking over her shoulder and double checking every step she made.

`Why did I have to choose such a long walkway path?' She mentally asked herself.

Feeling as if another present was there with her... and closing in on her, Kagome hastily ran towards her front door and fumbled with the keys.

With the sound of her erratic heartbeat pounding in her ears, she finally wretched the door open and threw herself against it to close it and securely locked the two safety locks on it.

Breathing like she had just ran a marathon; Kagome scrambled away from the door and ran up the stairs towards the safety of her bedroom.
