Last time…
Kagome was walking away when Sesshomaru called her back over, " Kagome was it?… I am looking for someone. Tell me do you know…"
Suddenly two hands curled around his neck and embrace him tightly, and said,…
------------------------------------------------
"O MY GOD, LOOK EVERYBODY… IT'S THE FAMOUS ARTIST SESSHOMARU!" A man wearing a white halter top and tight black leather pants squealed loud enough for the whole club to hear and then he said, "Quick Bankotsu get my picture with him."
Suddenly another man appear out of nowhere wearing a black shirt and blue pants and snapped, "Okay Jakotsu, chill already." He quickly ran to the front of the table with a camera in his hands.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked on in disbelieved upon the scene as it played out in front of them. Kagome broke the silence by saying, " I think I'll go get your drinks now." As she walked away she thought, 'That guy will definitely need a drink after that.'
Sesshomaru was about to respond to his crazy fans attack, but was stopped when several bright flashes blinded him briefly. Once his vision returned the two men had left their table, and was yelling back to him, "If you ever need some male models come to the Locker Room on Fourth Street and look us up."
Inuyasha who was too stunned to react all during his brother's ambush, final started to laugh loudly as the men ran away from their table.
"So, that's the price you pay for stardom...huh Sesshomaru?" he snicker as Sesshomaru eyes shot daggers at him. Sesshomaru thought, 'Oh I'll make him suffer for getting me into that situation.' But Inuyasha amusement was short lived when a large horde of women rush the table surrounding Sesshomaru.
He looked on as his brother groupies started pleading and crying for his brother autograph. Many of them were waving books, napkins, and even shredded scrapes of tablecloth in their hands. While the more daring push their chest or backside forward so he could sign their clothing.
'What a lucky son of a bitch. I wouldn't mind stardom if I could be harass like that.' He thought.
"Hey Inuyasha." And familiar voice brought him out of his daydream. As he looked up Miroku jumped down from the bandstand and started plowing through Sesshomaru's fans to get to him.
After a few minutes he finally reached him and said, "I guess our little plan worked ..huh?" motioning to the jam-packed nightclub.
"Yeah, I guess my brother's popularity is good for something. So, where is your new singer? Let's get a look at her before the show starts. She's isn't the prima dona type is she?"
"No way!!! Rin is to most kindest, and sweetest person I know. Unfortunately through, I just found out this afternoon that her agent is Naraku Kase. That bastard always finds a way of turning good people bad." He said the last part with a dark tone.
"NARAKU KASE!!!" Inuyasha yelled as his hand slammed against the table hard enough to break it in two. The table's vibration caught the attention of a few of Sesshomaru's fans that were wanting for his autograph. The moment that they saw the murderous look on Inuyasha face they ran back to their seats for dear life.
------------------Flashback-------------------------------
Inuy asha's body shook violently as he remember the first time he introduced to Naraku Kase. It was four years ago when he was engaged to Kikyo Bunyo. She was trained as a classical pianist and she wanted to break into show business. While looking for a agent fate regrettably led her right to Naraku's doorsteps.
Her first meeting with him was at a local coffee shop and she asked Inuyasha to go with her. Upon meeting the two men immediately took a dislike to each other. Inuyasha sense that the smooth talking agent would bring nothing but trouble to Kikyo. And, Naraku knew that if he didn't get Kikyo away from her fiancé his plans for her would be ruin.
So, after a few weeks of working together, he cleverly figure out a way to get her out of town. He gave the pretense of him having wonderful recording job for her lined up in America, and they didn't leave right away the gig would be lost. Kikyo was so thrill with the news that she ran home to tell Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I have some great news." She said, as she ran into the house.
"And I want to heat it sweetheart. But, first this…" He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a big passionate kiss on her lips before letting go of her.
She laughed and replied, "If I get more kisses like that one I might be tempted not to leave with Naraku for a while."
Inuyasha face twisted up with anger as he grasp her arms tightly and barked, "What in the hell do you mean, you're leaving town with Naraku?!"
"Inuyasha let go of me…you're hurting me!!!" She cried out, he release her instantly then she continue. " There no need to be jealous. Naraku said that he had this important deal line up for me in America, and we need to be there by next week or we'll lost it."
"Kikyo, there's no way in hell I'm going to let you leave with that bastard!!"
"Inuyasha, what's wrong with you?! You knew that I might have to travel a little. What up with this attitude all the sudden!!" Kikyo shouted.
"Why the hell do you need to travel to America? Why can't you get a opportunity here? That guy is nothing but a con man and I won't let you get taken in!!"
Kikyo face got flustered and she shouted back, "What do you think that I'm so stupid that I wouldn't know a rip off artist when I see one?! Just who do you think you are?"
"I'm your damn fiancé and you better listen to me!!!"
" FUCK YOU, I'M GOING!!!"
"NO FUCK YOU!!! YOU'RE NOT GOING AND THAT'S THE END OF THIS CONVERSATION!!!"
With that Kikyo ran up to their bedroom, slammed and lock the door behind her. While Inuyasha stormed out the house and slammed the door behind him, jumped into his truck and drove off.
In their bedroom, Kikyo was packing her things and she said to herself, " I'll show him…he'll be sorry when I'm famous." After she packed all her clothes, she called Naraku to come by and pick up for up. And hour later, Naraku drove up in his car and the two of them disappear into the night.
After seaching for Kikyo for seven months, Inuyasha found her in a hospital dieing from pneumonia. It was several days after he found her that Kikyo told him the terrible things Naraku forced her to do and then she begged for his forgiveness. The day that she died she told Inuyasha this, "I'm sorry for not trusting you my love. Please don't mourn about me to long, know that I'll be watching out of you even after my death. And please don't…………"
Inuyasha tried to get Naraku put in jail for what he did to Kikyo, but the police told him that there wasn't enough evidence to hold him so Naraku was set free. Inuyasha vow at Kikyo's gravesite that he would never forget her and never love another.
------------------------------End------------------------------ --
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha…INUYASHA!!!" Miroku yelled trying to break his friend's trance. After he mention Naraku's name he quickly realize that his friend may act this way. He was with Inuyasha every step of the way in his frantic search for Kikyo for months to his discovered of her at a charity hospital.
"Where is that BASTARD?!" Inuyasha said his voice was laced with venom that for the first time upon knowing him Miroku was actually terrified of him.
Miroku immediately started to grapple with him and said, "Inuyasha, don't it… isn't not worth it!! You're be the one put in jail and Naraku would have won again. And remember what Kikyo begged you not to do."
As he broke free of his friend grip Inuyasha's thoughts when back to Kikyo's last words, "And please don't go after Naraku, I would be unhappy if anything happen to you because of me… I love you." Her dying words to him made him stopped in his track.
Sesshomaru had just finished with his last autograph for a fan, when he noticed his brother and his friend wrestling with each other. All during his bombardment of fans he heard bits and pieces of their conversation, he knew that they were talking about Inuyasha's dead girlfriend Kikyo but more importantly he sworn he heard Miroku say Rin's name.
He was about to ask him when another interruption made itself present to him, but this one he had a feeling would happen.
"Well if it isn't Sesshomaru. SURPRISE…SURPRISE…SURPRISE!!!!" Kagura laughed as she sat down next to him. She was wearing a white mock turtleneck sweater that was pull down so you could see the tops of her shoulders, leather mini skirt, and high heel black boots. For the first time since he had know her hair was down, and her shiny black curls gracefully clung at her shoulders. He had to admit it to himself she looked quite nice, but he still wasn't interested in her the way she wanted him to be.
"I think it's least a surprise and more invade of my breathing space." He answered calmly as he moved away from her stifling grasp of his arm.
"Oh pooh, Sesshomaru. You weren't as mean to those fans I saw over here a few moments ago when they were clamming for your signature." She push her lips out a little and pretend to pout.
"That's because many of them didn't know that I would really be here. You on the other hand, knew that I would be here for a fact. So, why are you here Kagura?"
"That's my Sesshomaru always one for demanding answers." She said, as she smoothed out his shirt slightly and ran her fingers thru his hair. " As I told you earlier, I didn't want you to be here alone, and from the looks of things your lady friend isn't coming." She reply had a sly smile.
He was about to say something when the club lights started to flicker on and off. He then saw Miroku ran back on stage, sat down at the piano and play a slow movement. He gave a sideways glance at Inuyasha who was just sitting there facing the stage quietly, but he notice that his eyes seemed to be searching the club for something.
Just then Kagome returned with the drinks and food, she placed the items on the table and left. Sesshomaru thought that Inuyasha was just waiting for his food, so he did press the issue of his brother's behavior.
As Sesshomaru literally down his drink he felt as if he was in the middle of some cartoon. On one side of him was Kagura, the Ms. Cruella De Vil of mangers and on the other side was Secret Squirrel Inuyasha. And the one person who was a enigma to him was nowhere to be found.
"Where are you?" he thought desperately as he lean forward on the table and started searching the club for her again.
---------------------Meanwhile backstage--------------------------
"R-R-Rin?!" Shippo stutter out before his mouth hang open.
"You look beautiful!!" Kohaku said, as his eyes slowly worked their way up and down Rin's form.
Rin's eyes were cast down and her face was turning beet red from the compliment and looks that Kohaku and Shippo were bestowing on her. To her she looked like she always did Ms. Plain Jane, but this time in a beautiful violet dress which probably looked dumpy on her.
"He's right, Rin. You look really good. I better keep you away from Kouga, I already have enough to worry about when he's around Kagome." Ayame teased her friend as they all walked to the stage.
Rin was really nervous for the first in her life. She had performed several of times with the band before, but tonight was different. Tonight, Sesshomaru would be in the audience at least she hope and she didn't have time to write him a note telling him that she couldn't have dinner with him. "I'll just have to tell him in person after the show if he's here." she thought as she stood by the curtain waiting for her cue to enter.
"Remember Rin just had fun, it's no different from any other night." Ayame said.
"Yeah…break a leg." Shippo and Kohaku said in unison as they smiled at her.
"Yeah…break a leg." Rin said as she displayed a beautiful smile to them. And, then immediately she heard the announcer.
"Ladies and Gentlemen for your listening enjoyment today. I would like to present the band M.A.S. K. Miruko Chiba on the piano… Ayame Muso on the saxophone… Shippo Inao on the drums… Kohaku Inuo on the trombone and trumpet…"
One by one the band members went out as their names were called, until Rin was behind the curtain alone. Her heart was beating a mile a minute, her hands felt clammy, and her body started to shake uncontrollably. " I think I might faint." she whisper to herself, as she then peeped out the curtain knowing that her name would be called any second.
She quickly looked around the pack club when something silvery white caught her attention. She try focusing on the object but it when back into the shadows and the stage lights were making it difficult for her to see clearly. Just as she was about to close the curtain the object lean forward into the light again.
"He did come!!" she whisper excitedly, as she saw Sesshomaru sitting in the front row of tables. Instantly all her anxieties melted away upon seeing him. She felt that she could rule the world as long as her guardian angel was near by. Then she heard,
"And last but not least, the band's singer put your hands together for Rin Kato."
"It's Showtime!!" she muttered as she push the curtains open and walked out on stage.
------------------------------------
"…put your hands together for Rin Kato." after the announcer said that Sesshomaru spun his head toward the stage.
He could hardly see her at first, then she slowly stepped into the light where the microphone was spotlighted. He lost all coherent thoughts and words upon seeing her.
When Sesshomaru first met Rin he thought she was just cute. He would like to rephrase that now. She looked like the Greek goddess Aphrodite that he had pictures of in his studio. Sesshomaru always liked Aphrodite out of all the Greek myths gods because of her abilities in the matter of the heart.
While the other men in the audience whistled, holler and ogled at Rin as if she was the blue plate special at a local eatery. Sesshomaru looked at her with the eyes of a artist and become mesmerize by the different planes that her body was showcasing. It's was a once in a lifetime chance for a artist to come across someone who's body seemed so perfect.
He was brought back to reality when he heard Inuyasha said, "Hey!! She hot isn't she?"
Sesshoumaru cold amber eyes narrowed dramatically at what Inuyasha said and for some reason it really pissed him off. So, since he already owed him one from before, he leaned over and slapped his hand against his brother's head. Inuyasha face when crashing into the table and made a loud "THUMP" sound upon contact, but the music from the band cover it up so no one else heard it.
"Why the hell did you do that for asshole?!" He cursed angrily as he rubbed his forehead nursing the bump that was now there.
"Because you were disturbing my concentration of the music." He said, nonchalantly and then turn his attention back to the stage.
The time that Rin was on stage singing flew by like mere seconds to Sesshomaru. Her voice was so enchanting to him that he let out a low disappointed groan when she announce that she had only one song left for the night.
"I like to thank you all for going out and I hope that the band and I had given you a great show. Before we end tonight, I would like to dedicate our last song to someone who help me out yesterday. He was very sweet me and I thought that the best way for me to show my true appreciation for that what he did for me, was to sing his favorite song. I hope you like it …Sesshomaru." She said smiling his way.
"Sesshomaru?!" Miroku whispered to himself he was shocked by the name of Rin's savior that he hit a few wrong keys on the piano.
'WHAT IT WAS SESSHOMARU?!' Shippo, Ayame, and Kohaku thought in their minds as they dropped their instruments on the stage.
"YOU WERE NICE??!!!" Inuyasha shouted toward his brother, as he looking strangely at him.
'Sesshomaru helped that ugly little bitch. So, she the one trying to steal him away from me.' Kagura thought as she wrapped her arm around his again and gave Rin a vicious glare.
"Sesshomaru is it." Naraku said coolly as he looked on at Rin from the corner of the stage.
But, Sesshomaru and Rin didn't catch any of these actions around them, they seem to be in a dreamland world of they own until Rin registered her cue for the song. Then she started to sing more sweetly than she did before.
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
And finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
Or even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never been mean
Might never be crossed
Or try to be bossed
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
The audience rushed to their feet and started applauding wildly after she finished the song. "WE WANT MORE!!! WE WANT MORE!!!" They started to chant, which surprised everyone on stage. They always received great applauds before, but never had they been asked to do any encores.
At the table, Inuyasha was standing up cheering on his friends more loudly then everyone. While Sesshomaru was also clapping, but with much more restraint than his brother. But, in his mind he was coming to very important decision.
"She's the one I need. I'm going to ask her to……………."
