Chapter 1: Front Row Tickets
“Does Hojo know about this?” Sango asked her best friend as they walked through the airport.
“No way! He thinks I'm going home to spend time with my family. Like I would really waste my spring break at the shrine!” Kagome Higurashi giggled as she and her friends handed their plane tickets to the lady infront of the terminal.
Kagome had thick, raven hair that she let hang loose, and chocolate eyes. She hiked her backpack up on her shoulders and smiled at her three friends.
“What's he doing for break?” Ayame asked. Ayame was a wolf demon. She had fiery red hair in pigtails and emerald green eyes.
“He went back home to spend time with his family.” Kagome said simply, boarding the plane. Hojo was a sweet guy, but a bit of a bore. Kagome knew…well…she thought she loved Hojo. It was a secure relationship. Hojo obviously loved her. Why not marry someone who was deeply in love with you?
“How do you know he wasn't lying?” Rin asked. Rin had fly away black hair and big brown eyes.
“Hojo, lie? Never. Especially not to me.” Kagome said confidently.
“Wow. Seems like you got him wrapped around your finger.” Ayame commented.
“Yeah, I guess.”
“So, do you have your whole life planned out?” Sango asked. Sango had dark brown hair and dark eyes. She was the tallest and most athletic amongst the girls.
“Well, I don't know. Sorta.” Kagome answered as they found their seats. Kagome and Sango were sitting next to each other, while Rin and Ayame sat behind them. They put their carryons in the overhead compartment, and then settled into their seats.
“Wow, I couldn't do that.” Rin commented.
“Do what?” Ayame asked.
“Have my life planned out, like you do Kag.”
“It's not that bad. At least there wont be any surprises.” Kagome shrugged, not feeling like it was that big of a deal.
“I couldn't do it. I like not knowing where I'll be in five years. It makes life fun and mysterious.” Rin explained. She looked at Kagome's panicked face and blushed. “But your way is fine, too, Kagome. At least your life will be on track.”
“I wouldn't plan that far ahead anyway Kag. You never know what's in store for you. Just because you want and are planning on something to happen, doesn't mean it will. Life throws ya curve balls.” Sango said. Kagome nodded, not sure what to think.
She had thought having her life planned out was a good thing. But, what if it wasn't? What if it ruined her life. By planning her life, she might never get to do anything exciting. Especially not with Hojo. Was it even right to marry him?
And what if Sango was right. What if Kagome had her life exactly how she wanted it, and it flip flopped. What is a curve ball got thrown her way? What if something really bad happened before she could grasp her secure life with Hojo? What if it was for the best?
The rest of the trip, Kagome thought about what her life would be like. Which way would be better for her. Unfortunately, nothing became clear. It just got muddier and muddier until she had no idea what she was going to do about Hojo and her plan.

“Thank you for flying Delta Airlines! We have safely arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada. I wish that you have a memorable visit to the city that never sleeps, and hope you think of us for you next trip.” The pilots voice said over the intercom.
“Oh my Gawd! Can you believe it? WE are in Vegas! Two full weeks of partying, baby!” Ayame squealed.
“Ayame your nineteen, you can't even gamble.” Sango reminded her. Sango was the oldest of the group at twenty-one. Rin was twenty, while Kagome and Ayame only were nineteen.
“Well, that sucks! We should have went to Panama!” Ayame whined.
“Yeah, I can't gamble either!” Rin complained. Both of the girls glared at Sango as they got into the airport.
“Hey, it was Kag's idea to come!” Sango reminded them. All the girls turned to Kagome, who was rummaging in her backpack.
“Why did we come here? Panama has beaches!” Ayame said. Kagome grinned and hid something behind her back.
“True, but Panama doesn't have….Shikon Jewel!” Kagome screamed, showing her friends the concert tickets.
Shikon Jewel was becoming one of the biggest rock bands ever. The band had made it big four years ago with the release of their first album. At the time, the oldest member was twenty-one and the youngest was only fifteen. The two youngest members had dropped out of high school to pursue a career as a rock star.
Two brothers, InuYasha and Sesshomaru started the band. They had named all of their previous albums after the swords their late father had wielded, Tensaiga and Tetsusaiga.
Their newest CD was after another one of their fathers swords, Saunga.
“Oh my GAWD! How did you get these?” Sango asked.
“These are front row center man!” Ayame screamed.
“Is this a joke?” Rin demanded.
“Nope, it's no joke! The other week, they were giving free tickets to whoever could answer a bunch of Shikon Jewel questions correctly. And I won!” Kagome said proudly. She knew more about Shikon Jewel then anyone the girls knew.
“Oh my God! That means we get to see Koga Ookami in person! We'll be so close to the stage, I'll be able to smell his sweat!” Ayame screamed, causing a few questioning heads to turn her way.
“Eww. Down Wolf Girl.” Sango said.
Koga Ookami was the drummer of Shikon Jewel. He was tall and tan, with black hair and vibrant blue eyes.
“I can't help it!” Ayame giggled.
“Come on guys. Lets go get our luggage and check in at the hotel. We need to get ready for the concert. I have the perfect outfit!” Kagome led the way to the baggage claim.

The group of girls walked through the lobby of Caesar's palace. They were staying in the rooms above the casino.
“Okay, who is staying with who?” Sango asked, once they stood outside the two rooms they rented.
“Oooo! I call the bathroom first!” Kagome yelled, jumping up and down.
“Me too!” Ayame shrieked.
“Okay, since Ayame and I called bathrooms first and there is only one bathroom per room, we can't share, so you guys pick.” Kagome said to Rin and Sango, she handed one of the room keys to Ayame and they unlocked the doors to their rooms.
“Hmmm….should I get stuck with Kagome, who will constantly share random Shikon Jewel facts and hog the bathroom? Or Ayame, who will bounce around and giggle at odd hours of the night while I'm trying to sleep?” Rin pondered aloud.
“I call Kag!” Sango shouted, after listening to Rin's muses. She ran into the room, and as expected, the bathroom was occupied by Kagome.
0000000000000000000000000000
“Kagome! Get your ass out of the bathroom! Now! You have been in there for an hour and a half!” Sango screamed, pounding on the bathroom door.
“I'll be out in a minute!” Kagome called.
“You said that half an hour ago!” Sango screamed, continuing her assault on the innocent bathroom door.
The bathroom door flung open and Kagome walked out. She had on a pair of combat boots, fishnets, a short black mini skirt, and a black tank top that said `Its all about the ears' and had a picture of InuYasha's dog ears underneath.
“Obsess much?” Sango asked, pointing to Kagome's shirt. Kagome just gave her the finger, and Sango went into the bathroom. Kagome sat on the couch and flipped through TV channels. She stopped on an interview with Shikon Jewel.
“So, do any of you have a girlfriend?” The reporter asked the band.
“Yea, back home. Her name is Souten.” Shippo, the back up guitar answered.
“Nah, just playing the field.” Koga Ookami said. He was the drummer.
“How can you pick just one?” The player and lead guitarist of the band, Miroku, asked, flashing the camera a flirty smile.
“I would rather not express my dating status to people I don't know. But if you must know, I do have a girlfriend. I will not tell her name or answer any questions about her.” Sesshomaru Takahashi said smoothly. He was the oldest of the band at twenty five. He played the bass.
“No way, dude. I'm not the one girl kinda guy.” InuYasha Takahashi smirked his trademark smirk at the camera.
“Will any of you ever consider marriage?” The reporter questioned.
“Yeah, of course.” Shippo answered.
“Yeah, probably. If the right chick comes along.” Koga said.
“I would love to get married one day, but it will have to be to the perfect girl.” Miroku confessed.
“Maybe,” was all Sesshomaru said.
“Hell no! I'm not into commitment. It will take one helluva hot girl to get me to settle down. But, she couldn't just be pretty. She would have to be `it', the one. But I don't believe in that shit, so no. Never.” InuYasha answered.

InuYasha flopped down on the couch between his half brother and Miroku, who was tuning his black and white Draco flying V.
InuYasha had let his hair down and messy, like always. He wore black jeans and a red T-shirt with a skull. His amber eyes darted around the room.
His older brother, Sesshomaru, was tuning his Black Zombie bass. He had on black baggy pants and a black `I hate everything' T-shirt.
Miroku had his black hair pulled back in a ponytail, and all his piercings in. He wore a black `Got Metal?' T-shirt with jeans. His violet eyes were completely focused on his guitar, listening for the perfect pitch.
Koga's electric blue eyes were glued to the screen as he blew zombies to smithereens on his videogame. He had on a pair of jean shorts and a white t-shirt that had drumsticks on it, and said `Never leave home without `em.'
Shippo had his fiery hair in a high pony tail. He ahd on a pair of jeans and a Kiss T-shirt. He looked like he was about to puke. Just like he did before every gig.
“Do you believe we have to spend the next two weeks here?” InuYasha complained.
“It might not be so bad. It's spring break. College chicks are bond to come.” Miroku said, still not looking up from his guitar.
“Who would come to Vegas for spring break instead of going to places that have beaches?” Shippo asked, joining the conversation.
“Die hard Shikon Jewel fans.” Miroku answered.
“Yeah, they'll come for the concert, then go to a place with a beach.” InuYasha mumbled, bummed out.

Kagome turned off the TV. She wasn't a big TV fan. It was sort of boring, plus the Shikon Jewel interview was over. So there wasn't anything to watch.
“Sango! I'm bored! Are you almost done?” Kagome whined restlessly.
“Kagome, I just got in here. No, I'm not done.” Sango snapped.
“Kagome!” A voice screamed, pounding on the door. “KAGOME” The voice screeched again.
Recognizing the voice, Kagome jumped up and ran to the door, afraid that something was wrong.
“Oh my god, Ayame! What's wrong?” Kagome asked, flinging the door open. Ayame stood in the hallway grinning. She had on a Shikon Jewel shirt, black jeans and vans.
“I'm bored.” Ayame wailed.
“Me too!” Kagome agreed. The two girls glanced at each other, then ran to the beds. For the next half hour, Kagome and Ayame jumped from one bed to another, doing flips and sliding across the sheets and onto the floor.
000000000000000000000000000000000
“I'm bored!” Ayame whined. They were standing in the front of a huge screaming crowd, awaiting Shikon Jewel to emerge on stage.
“Ayame, we are surrounded by hundreds of screaming Shikon Jewel fans, how the hell can you be bored?” Sango asked.
“Well, I am!” Ayame complained. “ I want Koga to come on stage right now!”
“I'm sure it will start soon.” Rin assured her.
“Look! Here they come!” Kagome screamed, bouncing up and down.
0000000000000000000000000
Shikon Jewel toke there places on stage as the crowd screamed and cheered.
“Hey everybody out there! We're Shikon Jewel!” InuYasha shouted into his microphone, as he stepped up to the front of the stage. He paused as the crowd screamed more.
His eyes caught a girl's, who was directly in front of him in the crowd. She had fly away raven hair and chocolate eyes. She wore a tight black tank top with his ears on it. She smiled up at him.
“This is from our new album, Saunga. It's called Down With The Sickness!” InuYasha yelled. The band began to play, then he began to sing.
“Can you feel that?
Ah shit.
Drowning Deep in my sea of loathing,
Broken your servant I kneel,”
“Will you give in to me?” The whole band sang.
“It seems what's left of my human side,
is slowly changing in me.” As InuYasha sang he made his eyes go red and let his claws and fangs grow. The crowd went wild, but Kagome screamed the loudest. She loved it went he went into demon form. It was so hot, but not as hot as his hanyou form.
“Looking at my own reflection,
When suddenly it changes,
Violently it changes (oh no.)
There is no turning back now,
You woken up the demon in me,” InuYasha sang aloud, keeping his demon under control. InuYasha continued to sing the song, and his eyes kept straying bact to the raven haired girl, as he changed back to his normal self.
She was singing his songs word for word with him. She looked so hot bouncing around and laughing at the other three girls she must have came with. He couldn't help but wonder what her name was.
“Get up come on get down with the sickness,
get up come on get down with the sickness,
get up come on get down with the sickness,
open up your hate and let it flow into me,
get up come on get down with the sickness
you mother get up come on get down with the sickness,
you fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
madness is the gift that has been given to me,” InuYasha sang, his eyes flickered back to the girl. She smiled up at him and she smiled back.
He heard her shriek and tell her friends that `The' InuYasha just smiled at her, thanks to his sensitive hearing. This made him smile even more. That chick was HOT!
After they finished that song, the went right into another. In this song, Sesshomaru did background lyrics that sometimes overlapped InuYasha's lead lyrics.
“Yeah!” InuYasha screamed. The band began to play. “Pathetic.”
“Benign.” Sesshomaru said in a deeper voice then InuYasha. Sesshomaru had a pretty good voice, but InuYasha could hit the high notes.
“Accept it” InuYasha yelled.
“Undermine,” Came Sesshomaru's deep voice.
“Your opinion,”
“My justification!”
“Happy!” InuYasha looked down at the girl again. She was singing along with this song too. In fact, all of her friends were singing along.
“Safe.” Sesshomaru glanced around InuYasha. He was sure he had just seen her in the audience. It couldn't be. She lived in a different city, where she went to college. Although she had told him that her friends and her left the college every chance they got. Spring Break would be a chance to get away.
“Servant,” InuYasha sang.
“Caged.” Sesshomaru lost sight of her and decided it wasn't her, just a look a like.
“Malice.”
“Utter weakness”
“No toleration, invade,”
“Committed,” Sesshomaru felt like kicking InuYasha out of the way just to be sure that it wasn't her.
“Enrage,”
“Admit it.”
“Don't condescend,” InuYasha winked out the raven haired girl. Since he was a rock star he had seen A LOT of hot girls. For some reason, this one seemed different, hotter. He wanted her more then any other girl.
Kagome blushed and giggled. InuYasha was so hot.
“Don't even disagree!”
“Desire,”
“Decay.”
Disappoint!”
“Delay!”
“You suffered then, now suffer under me!” InuYasha yelled. The next few lines were all his thank god. He didn't like sharing his spotlight with Sesshomaru.
“Obsession, Take another look,
remember, ever chance you toke,
decide, either live with me,
or give up, any though you had of being free,” InuYasha sang. The band slowed drastically, and he bent down to look in the raven haired girls eyes.
“I never wanted anybody more, then I wanted you,” He pointed at Kagome. “The only thing I ever really loved…” InuYasha stood back up, “….was HATE!” The music started back up. InuYasha walked over to the side of the stage and held up four clawed fingers.
An old short man with grey hair scurried over and handed InuYasha four backstage passes. InuYasha toke them and went back to the front of the stage. He knelt down and shoved them in the raven haired girls face, who toke them and handed one to each of her friends.
InuYasha continued on with the concert. He couldn't wait until the after party.

A/N: I have had this story in a notebook for months, and just recently decided to reconstruct it and put it up. I hope you guys like it. It's my favorite out of my fanfics. Please review and tell me what you think about it! Thanks.
Hey, since this is about rock stars, I think I'm going to put a rock music question at the end of the chapter, and the first to get it right will have the next chapter dedicated to them. Its lame I know, but im bored. So here it is:
During the recording of their 5 album, What 80's rock band had a guitarist(Steve Clark) who had battled alcoholism from the beginning and died at age 30, from a combination of alcohol and prescription drugs?
