InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Not according to plan ❯ Celebrities, fist fights and red wine-oh my! ( Chapter 1 )

Summary: “Look, we'd just be asking for trouble” Kagome said. “It would be a stupid move” Inuyasha agreed with her. “Stupid?” she laughed, “It would be one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the world!” Do they care? Of course not! Inu/Kag

 

A/N Hello and welcome!! First off, I wanna say a big, HUGE thanks to my beta SikChix!! You rock!!

 

Stuff you should know:

 

1) Though this story is AU, some elements of the show shall be in this fic.

 

E.g. The only one in this fic I've made human that wasn't originally is Shippo. Inuyasha, Seshsomaru, Kouga, etc are still all demons. (Or half demons in Inuyasha's case)

 

2) You should all know right now that this story is an all out, non-apologetic, Inuyasha/Kagome fic. Don't like it? Leave! Pretty simple. It will be a waste of your time and mine should you read this and then decide to flame me because all I will do is laugh at you.

 

Other authors out there know what I am talking about. No one enjoys getting reviews such as “Give up, you're story sux ass!!" or “DEATH TO YOUR STORY!!” etc, etc will not be tolerated. No one is forcing you to read this fan fic so there is no need for nasty reviews simply because you have an inferiority complex and are taking it out on a particular animated character.

 

I am sorry about this long winded a/n however I want to make myself clear now so that there are no misunderstandings in the future. I respect all my readers/ fellow authors to the highest extent and I expect the same courtesy displayed to me.

 

Now that that's out of the way…Enjoy the story!!

Not according to plan…

 

Chapter one: Celebrities, fist fights and red wine-oh my!

 

Glancing around the hotel ballroom, Kagome let out a small sigh as she took another sip of champagne. As per usual—Shippo had once again dashed off after some celebrities to try and get a photo and/or interview, and left her standing by herself with no one to talk to.

 

…Why she always let Shippo drag her to these celebrity parties Kagome would never know.

 

“You'll have a ball, Kagome”

 

“You'll get to meet lots of interesting people, Kagome”

 

“It'll be fun, Kagome”

 

Kagome brushed a lock of hair out of her face and placed her now empty glass down on a nearby table. Oh yeah, she thought to herself, I'm having loads of fun.

 

Frowning, she folded her arms and glanced around the room. She'd give Shippo five more minutes, she decided. Five more minutes, and then she was out of there.

 

It wasn't like Kagome didn't understand that it was Shippo's job to follow celebrities around—he was a journalist after all. But still, that didn't mean he could invite her to attend some movie premiere after-party with him, and then leave her all alone to talk to the wall.

 

...She could have just as easily done that at home.

 

“Oh there you are, Kagome. I thought I'd lost you.”

 

Rolling her eyes, Kagome eyed the young man in front of her wearily. “I've been here the whole time, Shippo, and you know it.”

 

“Oh come on, can you blame me? It was Koga Matsuharu and Inuyasha Takahashi, Kagome. Koga and Inuyasha!” Shippo raved excitedly, “I couldn't afford to let the opportunity pass.”

 

“Why?” A small frown formed across Kagome's lips. “What's so great about Koga and Inuyasha, anyway?”

 

The journalist's eyes widened in shock, “Are you serious?! What, have you been living under a rock these past two years?”

 

“Not everyone's life revolves around the worlds latest celebrities, you know.”

 

“Point taken, but still,” he shook his head, “Have you not been to the cinema lately? Koga and Inuyasha are two of the most popular and sought after movie stars around at the moment.”

 

Kagome raised an eyebrow, “Oh yeah, now that I think about it—weren't their names on the news last week.” A puzzled look formed across her face, “However…if I remember correctly…wasn't it about those two getting into a brawl and breaking each other's arms?”

 

Shippo chuckled, “Yeah, probably. Knowing those two and their infamous rivalry, it wouldn't surprise me.”

 

“But…” She glanced around the room, “If they broke each other's arms, then how come I haven't seen anyone wearing a cast?”

 

Shaking his head, he let out a small sigh. “Kagome, they're demons—or… in Inuyasha's case at least half. Broken bones take only a tenth of the time to heal that it would take humans.”

 

“How do you know so much about them anyway?”

 

Shippo shrugged, “It's my job. I have to kno…” he slowly trailed off and turned his attention to the woman passing by them. “Oh my god, is that who I think it is?”

 

Grabbing out his camera, the young journalist shot Kagome an apologetic look, “I'll only be five minutes, I swear.”

 

“Just go…but you'd better make it up to me later.”

 

“Thanks, you're the best.”

 

Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Kagome watched her young friend rush off after whoever it was he was suddenly fascinated with and shook her head.

 

“Honestly,” she muttered to herself. “The way he acts, you'd think celebrities were Gods,”

 

Knowing what Shippo was like, and not wanting to stand around by herself like an idiot again, Kagome grabbed her purse and made her way across the ballroom floor—determined to find someone, anyone she could talk to so that she wasn't stuck on her own again for another half an hour or so.

 

Walking around the room however, it soon became exceedingly clear to Kagome that despite her want for conversation, it was not about to happen any time soon. She quickly found out that most people in the room, if not all of them, were only interested in having a conversation with you if you could offer them some way in either furthering their careers and/or expanding their wallets.

 

And unfortunately for Kagome, being a high school teacher (even though she did work for a very prestigious school) did not fit either one of those requirements. You'd think after going to seven of these events this month she'd have learned by now-but apparently not.

 

What a bunch of pretentious snobs, she thought to herself as the fifteenth person she'd tried to start a conversation with walked away. Just because they're rich…or famous…or rich and famous, they think they can treat everyone else like dirt.

 

Casting one last look around the room, Kagome shook her head in defeat. She frowned and headed over towards the open patio doors.

 

“I need some air” she muttered to herself.

 

Stepping out onto the balcony, Kagome moved to make her way over to the railing. However as she did so, she quickly came to realise that she was not alone. All of a sudden she found herself face to face with none other than Inuyasha Takahashi—the infamous most wanted and sought after, half demon, movie star.

 

“Oi woman!” he spoke up, pointing a finger towards Kagome and gesturing back inside. “Make yourself useful and go get me a drink, would ya?”

 

WHAT?!

 

Standing there in shock, Kagome watched as Inuyasha turned around and started walking away—not even waiting for an answer.

 

...And she had thought the other people she had talked to were rude, pompous bastards?

 

The nerve of that guy!! Does he honestly think I will let him get away with ordering me around like that?

 

Storming back inside, Kagome quickly scanned the crowd until she found what she was looking for. Oh…she'd make herself useful alright.

 

Grabbing a glass of red wine off a passing waiter's tray, Kagome walked around the room and searched for Inuyasha. Luckily for her it only took a minute or two before she found him sitting over in the lounge area surrounded by adoring fan girls, all who at the present moment were laughing at some joke he had just made.

 

Inuyasha noticed her walking towards him and held out his hand. “Oh good,” he spoke up, glancing up at her, “You took so long I was beginning to think you'd gotten yourself lost.”

 

Kagome smiled at him and dumped the entire contents of the glass all over his shirt and pants.

 

She gave the shocked movie-star a small shrug, “No such luck,”

 

~*~*~*~

 

Ha ha, Inuyasha got served!! I was going to get Kagome to pour the wine all over his head, but then I couldn't bring myself to do it and allow Inuyasha's beautiful hair to get damaged.

 

Think about how long it would take to get all of that red wine out of his silver hair?

 

So? What do you guys think? Is this a keeper?
