Dreams Come True

 

 

It was the summer again, nearly a year from the beginning, May, 2003. Four months have passed, and Kagome and InuYasha's relationship has blossomed, with a few minor arguments here and there of course. Anyway, on a really hot summer like day Kagome and InuYasha had a day off from school and decided to spend it together at her house knowing her parents were always out. They stayed in her room. Kagome lay on top of InuYasha wearing only a pink tank top and a pair of green boy shorts. InuYasha lay on his back- with Kagome on his chest- wearing only a pair of red baggy shorts and rubbing her back. “I know you want me”, she laughed a few seconds after kissing him. “Damn right I do. When you gonna give it up.”, he joked back squeezing her butt. “You're such a fucking tease”, he thought as he move his hands up to her back. “As soon as I'm positive about us.” she muttered before drifting off to her dream world.

 

“Now everyone here would be broken into two planes… we will meet back together in America.” one of the two pilots instructed to a handful of refugees. Kagome tightly held onto the last two surviving members of her family- her uncle Myoga, and her cousin Souta. They gave her a quick hug and a kiss before they were pulled away from her into the second helicopter. Kagome was shoved into the first helicopter amongst other children and a mother. Ten minutes later when the planes lifted off, Kagome watched closely to the plane holding the last of her family. Missiles flew in the air as to target the planes and kill whoever was on them. Kagome began to feel sickened by all the movement of the helicopter trying to dodge the missiles when she saw the plane holding her uncle and her cousin falling down. It had been hit with a missile and exploded into the ocean. Kagome screamed and pounded on the window as she watched the flames of the plane lift up. A loud booming sound caused her to wake up.

Kagome was covered in sweat and became hysteric before fainting. “Kagome!” InuYasha shouted as he felt her body shake. He ran to get a cold wet towel and a bucket of warm water. When he came back, he pulled Kagome's body into his lap and started to wipe the sweat off her. She came to again only to start hyperventilating. So InuYasha planted soft and chaste kisses on her lips until she calm down. “What was that about?” he asked squeezing out the towel. “Nothing just a very bad nightmare.” she shot back kissing his hand to stop him from worrying. “I don't want you shaking or screaming like that unless we're in my bed”, he attempted to joke. “Don't worry. It's something that has to deal with my past. But you know the deal with that.” she responded as he continued to wipe the sweat off her body. “No, you're going to tell me this secret. I don't want to be left out not knowing if I can help you or not.” he snapped back. Kagome had then sat up, taking a seat in front of InuYasha before making the cross symbol across her heart. She then made InuYasha swear that he wouldn't tell anyone as she held on closely to her mother's locket.

“My name is Kagome Mitsukai Higurashi. I come from Hiroshima, Japan. About 12 years ago, our leader was killed by the woman who he had an affair with. This woman was a prostitute and was considered lower middle class. In two years when the leader's bastard son became ruler, he made a law to exterminate all the poor and lower middle class of the country. Those that defended were killed and those who were caught running away were either killed on the spot or tortured and held prisoner. This put many of the people who were once friends against each other. At the time of the incident, my family was going through a money problem and fitted the criteria. My family and those who associated with each us were miko performances and made a vow- more like an oath to protect the one who can be the most successful.

So we went on the run and everyone… but I… was caught. Everyone had believed that it was me who needed to be a star. I watched my mother's body open up and felt her blood splattered across my face as the soldiers hired from the government shot her ruthlessly. I watched my sisters, aunts, and grandparents get sent away to camps or killed on the spot. I watched as all of the girl cousins I had were trapped inside a house, and burned to the ground. I heard the males of my family be shot and cry out for protecting them. I watched as part of my mother's family went against us. I watched as my father died showing me the way to the nearest refuge. I watched as my last boy cousin and uncle on my father's side were killed in a plane shot down coming here to America. They risked their lives for me, to make the dream that I had since I was two, come true. When I had gotten to America I was sworn to secrecy of all the events that went on there. All this time… all I could do was watch” InuYasha sat in front of Kagome with a tear in her eye and his mouth agape.

“Damn, you went through a lot. And I thought that you were just bitching off to play me. You sure you don't need therapy?”, he asked placing a hand on her cheek to wipe away the stray tear. “I already did that when I was at the orphanage in Philadelphia. They thought I had split personalities since I had such a bad streak and yet be such a welcoming individual…whatever the fuck that means”, Kagome replied kissing his hand. “You went through some stuff there Kags… and now it's time to make your dream come true.” He stood her up and then sat on her bed. “Sing for me.”, he commanded. “NO! I haven't sung in years. I'll sound horrible.” she said in fear. “Sango already heard you sing and said it was wonderful. I'm your man. Let me hear you blow.” Kagome took a deep breathe and began singing the last song her mother has sung to her.

 

(She holds onto InuYasha's hands while humming)

Whispering…

Hear the ghosts,

In the moonlight.

Sorrow doing a new dance…

Through their bones,

Through their skin…

 

Listening…

To the souls,

In the fools night…

Fumbling mutely,

With their rude hands…

And there's heartache,

Without end…

 

See the father bent in grief…

The mother dressed in mourning…

Sister crumples …

And the neighbors grumble…

The Preacher issues warnings…

(They hold each other closely)

 

History…

Little Miss,

Didn't do right…

Went and ruined all…

The true plans…

Such a shame …

Such a sin…

 

Mystery…

Home alone,

On a school night…

Harvest moon over …

The blue land…

Summer longing…

On the wind…

 

Had a sweetheart …

On his knees…

So faithful,

And adoring…

And he touched me…

And I let him love me…

So let that be my story…

(Kagome sighs before she finishes)

 

Listening…

For the hope,

For the new life…

Something beautiful…

A new chance…

Hear it's whispering,

There again …

 

“That was… it's just…” InuYasha began. “What?! Was I that horrible?” Kagome said a bit tense. “Beautiful… except, you don't look so innocent in my eyes”, he teased. Kagome had then jumped on top of his pelvis and told him, “Shut up! You know you love me.” He looks up to her and grabs her ass. “I like this position.” “Oh really?” she said before going in to kiss him. He massages her back and slowly ended up to her breast. She had responded by taking off her tank top to reveal herself topless. She grabbed his hands and crossed them over his chest before pushing him to the bed and leaning in to stop at an inch from his face, hovering over his lips. “Stop playing with something you can't get” she whispered in his ear while he sat up. “Now you want to play naughty, huh? I warn you- I make temptation even harder to resist,” he said before raining hickies down onto her neck.

At school, InuYasha convinced Sango to teach Kagome new dance moves. From here on, he decided that he wanted to make Kagome's dream come true. He searched around town for a fair and legal recording studio. Finally he fell upon a bright pink flier calling for new talent auditions while at the mall. The flier even said the hottest producers and record makers would be at the club that night. The winner would have one of their tracks on the album done with R&B singer, Avant and a record contract with Virgin Records. The auditions were held on that Saturday. So on the day of the audition he took Kagome shopping for a new outfit and told her that the occasion was to perform at this club that his cousin worked at. “Well at least she'll be prepared for a somewhat of a large crowd”, he thought. Knowing nothing about feminine clothing he called in Sango for extra help. Along with this he called a few of his friends to be judge of the outfit to make sure it has enough sex appeal and that it also gives a celebrity's presence. Only he, Sango, and his friends knew why Kagome was actually shopping.

“How about this?” InuYasha asked holding up a red string bikini with a matching wrap skirt. All the guys whistled, Kagome laughed but Sango had a serious face. “Uh… No.”, Sango replied sarcastically. “Sorry babe.” Kagome whispered in InuYasha's ear as he placed the outfit back onto the racks. Half an hour later, Sango had found something perfect. “Now this is good!” she said showing the outfit to everyone. Sango took out a light blue halter top covered with glitter along with one long flowing sleeve, a white denim mini skirt and matching stilettos with drawstrings. InuYasha pretended to gag while Kagome laughed as his guy friends approved. “Great, now let's go!” Kagome shouted as she paid the cashier. An hour later at Sango's house, Kagome became very nervous. “Yash I don't know. What if I blow it before I even touch the stage.” she asked. “Don't worry about it. It would all be fine.” he replied kissing her forehead. “Okay enough chit chat- Kags when I'm finished with you, Yash would have to try 20 times harder to keep guys away from you!”, Sango joked as she took Kagome with her into the private dressing room/ bathroom. “I can't wait!” he shouted back before leaving with his guy friends to get dressed.

~*~

Another 2-3 hours later, everyone met up at Sango's house and Sango came out dressed up for dancing. She wore a black slinky dress that barely hugged her shoulders but was tight everywhere else. Her hair was in a bun and she wore matching black stilettos with rhinestones to match the jewelry she wore. She wore studded earrings and a tennis bracelet. She completed her look with a deep scarlet lipstick. The guys all wore different variations of suit jackets with a white t-shirt on the inside and regular jeans. They all pulled off the look with fresh with white sneakers and studs. After InuYasha and the guys had all taken a seat on the couch, Sango told Kagome to finish up. “Well gentlemen, this is my creation!” Sango announced. Kagome stood at the top of Sango's stairwell and descended down them slowly to keep balance in her stiletto type heels. She caught eyes with the crowd at the end of the stairwell once she was positive she wasn't going to fall. The moment Kagome came out, InuYasha straightened up and had become star struck. He looked at her long, straightened hair, now touching her back, as she spun around twice in a circle. Kagome walked over to InuYasha and looked into InuYasha's eyes before asking with a smirk, “How do I look?” “Goddamn, you look too good”, he thought as she paraded herself in front of him. He then got on one knee and took her hand in his before saying, “Marry me” Kagome laughed and picked him up off his knee and gave him a kiss. “And I'm all yours.” “Hmm… I should be paid for this.” Sango joked before kicking them out of her home and into the two cars set outside.

~*~

At the club, InuYasha told Kagome to cover her ears for a second as he said a secret password to the doorman. Once inside Kagome saw half of the school there and started to worry. “Surprised? This is a singing competition we got you into.” InuYasha said looking at the expression on Kagome's face. Kagome was about to run out when Sango stopped her and turned her around. “Kags, you said it yourself that you love singing. Now is time to prove how good you really are. InuYasha just went out of his way to get this for you, so don't back out now bitch” Sango whispered into Kagome's ear before laughing at Kagome as she jumped to hug her. Kagome had then gone to go hug InuYasha. He then told her, “No matter what happens I would always love you.”

The DJ had then called all contestants to the stage. “Aight, aight, aight… calm down, and Welcome to the 1st Annual Virgin Records Star Search. First up to die is Kagome T. Higurashi, singing a Mariah Carey classic. Ya'll better hope she has the vocals for this”, the DJ joked. Kagome had gotten on stage with much confidence and grabbed the microphone in front of her. She was about to sing when she stared out into the crowd. The song intro had begun but Kagome had said nothing. The song intro had stopped and InuYasha had come out onto the stage, ignoring the whistles from the girls in the audience. “I can't”, Kagome said turning to him pulling the microphone away. “Kags you were made for this. Don't worry about them… it's just you and me here. Do your best.” he said before giving her a light feathery kiss on her lips to not destroy her makeup. He then head off the stage as the guys in the crowd whistled and jeered while the girls frowned. The song intro had begun again and Kagome had taken a deep breath and began.

 

(Kagome walks up and grabs the mic before walking up to the crowd and beginning)

When you get caught…

In the rain,
with nowhere to run,
when you're distraught…

And in pain,
without anyone.

When you keep crying out…

To be saved,
but nobody comes,
and you feel so…

Far away,
that you just can't…

Find your way home.

You can get there alone.
It's okay.
What you say is…

I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own…

And I know,
that I'm strong enough to mend.
And every time I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live…

One more day,

And I make it through the rain.

And if you keep…

Falling down,
don't you dare give in.
you will arise…

Safe and sound.
So keep pressing...

On steadfastly,
and you'll find what you need,
to prevail.
What you say is...

I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own…

And I know,

That I'm strong enough to mend.
And every time I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live…

One more day,
and I make it through the rain.

(Kagome stands up more confidently and smiles at the crowd)

And when the wind blows,
And shadows grow close,
don't be afraid.

There's nothing… you can't face.
And should they tell you,
you'll never pull through,
don't hesitate.
Stand tall and say…

(Kagome holds the note and looks up to the ceiling with a hand to her ear as she raises the note higher and higher)

I can make it through the rain.
I can stand up once again.
On my own…

And I know,
that I'm strong enough to mend.
And every time I feel afraid,
I hold tighter to my faith.
And I live

One more day,
and I make it through the rain.

(Kagome looks back down to the crowd and lowers her voice)

And I can make it through the rain,
and stand up once again.
And I'll live one more day,
And I …I can make it through the rain.

(Kagome makes eye contact with one of the audience members before holding that note and causes the person to blush deeply before she looks to the rest of the audience)
Oh yes, you can.
You're gonna make it through the rain

 

 

When Kagome had finished the crowd was completely silent with their mouth gaped open. After placing the microphone down and walking off stage, the crowd had clapped, hollered, whooped, etc. Once backstage, InuYasha gave her a kiss and held her tightly. “You knocked them dead.” said one of InuYasha's friends. “Now let's pray that Kags remembered all the harsh training I gave to help her dance better.” Sango joked. “Yeah, I still got the bruises on my back from the all the times she whooped my ass for forgetting a step”, Kagome said flashing the slightly red bruises right above her lower back.

~*~

The singing competition was over and only Kagome and four other semi- finalists were left. This part of the competition, the singers had to dance with a partner of their choice, preferably the opposite sex, to the song “Twist It” by Olivia and Lloyd Banks, “Dancehall” by Beanie Man, and “Senorita” by Justin Timberlake. InuYasha enjoyed that dance since he was Kagome's partner. The point of this dance off was for sex appeal and a measurement to see how into the media were they. About an hour later, the finalists were Kagome and a girl named Hiromi. The last part of the competition was to try to get audience votes and votes from outside on who people thought were a better singer. The two finalists had to give a minor preview of the show they did for the crowd inside on a stage set up outside before getting votes. Kagome had already gotten over 75% of the crowd's votes. But Hiromi had gotten over 65% of the votes from the people outside. Finally it was time for the votes to be tallied.

“Let's hear it for Hiromi.” said the DJ as he got a mild response from the audience. “Let's hear it for Kagome.” the DJ's assistant said as she got a loud response for Kagome. “Aight, aight, aight… cut the noise.” “Based off the total numbered of votes, the winner of this contest is... Kagome M. Higurashi.” At that moment Kagome had fainted. Luckily, InuYasha and Sango were there to catch her. “You did it Kags!” Sango shouted as a recording contract was brought out. But Kagome didn't come to and InuYasha became worried. “Kagome! Wake up! Kagome… stop playing!” he said frantically. He then found a needle next to Kagome's limp body. “Someone call the ambulance!” Sango looked out into the crowd and saw a tall, dark, mysterious stranger with a black hooded sweatshirt trying to leave the club. He was holding a brown paper bag marked with a red skull. “Someone stop him!” she shouted. But no one had heard her. The man had gotten away, as Kagome was rushed immediately to the hospital.
