InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Relish in Your Life ❯ That Question Again? ( Chapter 2 )

Chap.2- That question again?

Her fingers wrapped around his neck as the car rolled to a stop. "Now Ms. Higarashi, that's uncalled for." "You get out now! Or I'll rip your head clean off, youkai. Out!" Kagome opened the car door and pushed him out. Slamming the door she fell into the driver's seat and put the car in drive.

The car sped off with ease. She stopped at a gas station a few miles up the road and popped the trunk to find the driver perfectly fine. "We really need to get a trunk release in here, Kagome." "I know Felis but right now this is fine. Just don't get caught again." She returned to her seat with the band.

"Damn youkai, he needs to leave me the fuck alone." "We have a conference in two hours… guess who will be there?" "Him…" she hissed in anger. Rai watched her looking out the window. She really will not like the other news I have for her then. "And so will his brother." Rai said slowly watching her reaction carefully. "What?!" "Inu-Yasha will be there." She looked at him with wild eyes flying from his face to Darren's, the guitarist. "When did you find that out?" "Earlier today. Sango called from his office and said that she got him to come. She didn't tell you?" "No she didn't. I'm going to kill her. Literally kill her."

She laid her head back against the seat. "Shit." My life sucks. My gods help me get through this tonight and I'll worship you forever. Kagome closed her eyes until they pulled up to the mansion. She checked before she got out for any reporters. Walking up to the house she could sense something she just wasn't quite sure what.

The door opened before she got to it and Sango walked out. "You're in trouble little girl." Kagome said pointing a finger. "I'll be in more trouble when you go inside. Mr. Inu-Yasha decided he wanted to interview you alone. He's inside waiting and you look like shit." "I wouldn't look like this if you hadn't scheduled the conference and a concert on the same night!" She screamed then went inside.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"He's in the living room!!" Sango called after her. "I can't believe he had the nerve to come here." Rai said when Kagome was out of ear shot. "I can't believe his brother actually put his footage of her on television. Everyone saw him ask her the question and her answer. She's not going to have any fans after this is over."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Would you like something to drink?" Rin asked Inu. "He won't be here that long Rin. Thank you anyway." Kagome entered coldly addressing Rin. The small girl nodded then left. "Inu-Yasha, you have some nerve. I told you not to come back. Ever." "Well are you miko?" "Oh great, that question again. If people don't stop asking me that I'll barf." "People are going to ask because Sesshoumaru put in on the news." "What?! That bastard!" she screamed her temper going by the second.

He could feel it, the rage, it pounded against his body in waves. "Settle down. It's not like you didn't know it was coming." She let a yell out through her teeth then looked him squarely in the eye. "Get out of my home!" He stood. "Good day then. I'll see you at the conference." He smiled but she to it in a snickering way rather than friendly. "I outta shoot your ass Inu-Yasha! I really should."

She slammed the door behind him. When she turned around the entire band and Sango were staring at her. "What?" she asked narrowing her eyes. Felis laughed softly and shook his head. "What?" she asked again. "Kagome, he was asked to come to the dinner as your date." "It's not a dinner it's a conference and what in the hell were you thinking?" Kagome hissed. "I was thinking you could piss Sesshoumaru off. And let Inu know that your not at all interested, if he even is."

Kagome glared and then turned walking away to her quarters. Why that question? Why couldn't it be like: what color is your underwear? No too humiliating probably wouldn't answer that one either. Shit I'm going to bury myself after tonight if that's one of the questions asked. This sucks.

She took a scarlet dress out of the huge closet in her room. The sash around her waist and around her shoulders was black as were the glitter accents around the hips and the bottom ruffles. She slid on her black strappy stilettos and headed back down the grand stair case. Sango was standing there looking up at her. "I'll fix your hair. Come."

They both went into a small room behind the stairs. Kagome sat in a chair as Sango dragged a brush through her ebony hair. "Sango why did you do it?" Kagome asked after she had gotten a good start. "Do what?" "Set up me and Inu for tonight's conference." Sango stopped momentarily. "Because I want this rival gone as much as you do." Kagome sighed then Sango started again. She worked for only thirty minutes twirling twisting and pulling in Kagome's hair slowly but surely forming a beauty.

Kagome's hair was put into a tight bun that had a few loose stands coming down forming a somewhat stressed out effect. Sango stuck little red roses into the bun and smiled. "You're beautiful, he's going to die." Kagome laughed. "That would only be because I'm going to kill him." Kagome did her own make up and they went to the limo. All the boys were dressed in tuxedos. "My, my Rai you look perfect to be my match for tonight." Kagome said looking at his crimson and black outfit. He smiled as a reply. "Get in the car Kagome. We're going to be late." Sango said in a hurried tone.

The ride there was silent as Sango gave the orders to answer questions but not too many. Nothing was to be said about the new album and absolutely nothing about Kagome's miko powers. "I'll meet with Inu, and then you all will have a table apart from us. We'll meet at eleven to get the hell out of this place." Kagome said in conclusion and the rest agreed as they pulled up to a red carpet. Inu stood at the beginning of it in a tux. When Kagome got out he hurried to take her arm and lead her in.

She shot a dangerous glare his way but smiled and waved to people who were calling her name. When they entered the room was bubbling with laughter and talk from stars and bands, along with pesky reporters who wouldn't leave anybody alone. Kagome and Inu sat at a vacant table in the back far away from the stage. She looked everywhere but at him. His silver hair was pulled into a ponytail. His cameras did not follow their every move but instead looked elsewhere. Kagome wondered what time it was then looked around for her band.

They were sitting on the opposite side of the room from her. "Shit." She said under her breath when she saw who was also sitting at their table. She looked away quickly but it was too late. He made his way over slowly. "Good evening, Ms. Higarashi. I see you found a date for tonight." "Yes, even with my dense skull and cold heart, I found a date. Go away would you I must talk with him in a mannerly way without your guidance." Kagome spit back. "Unlike my brother Ms. Higarashi, I have decent manners and I ask you to join me at my table." Sesshoumaru pressed on.

Sesshoumaru went flying into a wall with a twitch of Kagome's hand. "I told you to go away." She said behind his departure. The reporter got up unhurt. He growled then returned to his seat.

Inu-Yasha laughed. Kagome turned to him in a rigid movement. "What are you laughing at half breed? At least he's full youkai." She hissed. He shut up and looked at the stage. The lights dimmed slowly and Kagome smiled for the first time this night.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen tonight is a night of joy, laughter and surprises." An announcer said in a cheerful but monotone voice. Kagome rolled her eyes. This was going to be worse than she had thought. "One word for this, BORING." She whispered to Inu-Yasha. "Well what do you want to do about it?" he said turning to her as the announcer spoke again. "Performing for their second time today, we have Vapor, and also…" "What? We're not performing." Kagome said looking to Sango for answers. She shrugged. "Well are you going or not? I mean they apparently want you up there right now." Inu said as he looked to the rest of her band.

They were heading up to the stage so she followed. The instruments were already set up and everything happened so fast Kagome felt scared to sing. Rai got settled behind the drums, Darren tuned the guitar quickly, Felis played with the keyboard for a minute, and Kagome stood afraid to speak. "And now Vapor!!" The announcer yelled.

It took Kagome a minute to register what he had said. She cleared her throat. "Come on Kagome start." Rai whispered loud enough for her to hear. She moved her hand to tell him to shut up. She looked to the crowd then turned away. "One… two… one, two, three…" the band started slowly taking up their parts again as they did before.

Kagome closed her eyes before starting the song. "You don't know why I cry? Are you serious? No one cares for this pain… but still I stay…" she turned to the microphone and smiled. "In your arms for always… I will be… for always… the truth behind your lies… is that you also cry..." she stopped and let Darren take over for a little bit. "I want you to know… what I do… but now your gone and I'm dying for your love… how could you leave me here… all alone…"she took a deep breath and let it go slowly. "No one cares for this pain… but still I stay… in your arms for always… I will be… for always…" she finished in a hushed scream. "For always."

Rai let the last energy go then stood and bowed as Darren did. Kagome just stood there. "Kagome… come on." Darren whispered. She curtsied then ran off stage. "What the hell was that?" Kagome stomach started to heave, she fell. "Crap." Rai said kneeling beside her. "Kagome, are you alright?" when she didn't answer he turned her over. Her head lolled back on his arm. "Darren get Sango."

An: he he he… I'm mean I know… I'll try to post as soon as I can… family outings suck!!
