InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sparkle ❯ Chapter 1 - The Audition ( Chapter 1 )

The lonely melody echoed throughout the entire room, the young man singing pouring his heart into every word for an audience of one. Word after word spoke of heartbreak and the sadness that came with it. A haunting tale had been woven then, just like that, it was over. The young man on the stage opened his eyes as his arms fell to his side, the one person he really needed to impress clapping.

 

“Very good, Takera-san,” the man praised, walking towards the stage. “You have a very beautiful voice.”

 

“Arigato, Kagawaki-sama,” the singer bowed.

 

“You had me believing. You really did. However, I was under the impression that this was a band. Not a solo act.”

 

The singer's cheeks became a light shade of pink and he quickly bowed again.

 

“My bandmates were unable to make it,” he replied. “Their jobs demanded their time for the day.”

 

“I see and that I can understand,” the man nodded. “However, I cannot sign just you. I'm looking for a band. I'm sorry, Takera-san. You have a good voice. A very good voice and you'll go far.”

 

The one addressed as Takera raised his head, his eyes pleading. He knew it, he hated himself for it, but he and his band really needed this chance. If they didn't get the contract, it was over. They would go their separate ways and he didn't want that to happen.

 

“There must be something else I can do, Kagawaki-sama,” he murmured. “Please. Give us another chance. I'll make sure the band is here for you to listen to. I swear it.”

 

Kagawaki, a tall man with long, dark, wavy hair, frowned for a moment, his crimson eyes glittering with some unknown emotion. It couldn't have been pity. Most of the potential managers he had met didn't take pity on a struggling band. After a few moments, Kagawaki nodded once more.

 

“All right. I'll give your band a second chance. Find out when each member has the same day off and we'll schedule something then.”

 

Takera's shoulders sagged in relief, a tiny smile lighting his face. He bowed once more.

 

“I will,” he vowed. “I'll ask them tonight at rehearsal.”

 

“You do that. Once your rehearsal is over, meet me and we'll talk. Here's where I'll be at.”

 

Kagawaki handed him a piece of paper, and he glanced at it. On it were the address and directions to what appeared to be the man's home. Then he was gone, leaving the singer alone. Takera let out a relieved sigh then put the paper in his pocket. Brushing back his silver locks, he quickly packed his guitar and headed out.

 

`This is it,' he told himself. `We're finally going to get somewhere. I can feel it!'

 

* * *

 

Kagawaki watched as the silver-haired male exited the building, a light smile gracing his lips. Then he glanced down at the band photo in his hand and licked his lips.

 

`Takera Inuyasha . . . fitting name . . . very fitting name,' he thought to himself. `I can't wait until our little meeting tonight, either. I wonder . . . how far will you go to get your band a manager, Inuyasha?'

 

Quickly, he put the picture away and took a few deep breaths. Already, his groin had started to stir in anticipation of the evening's . . . festivities, but he had no time to relieve himself. His wife, Kikyou, was expecting him for a lunch date, and he didn't dare disappoint her. Not if he wished to hang onto the fortune he'd built for himself over the last seven years.

 

`Why did I ever get married to that bitch?' he thought as he made his way to his car. `Should have known better than to try and seduce her. Kagome would have been a better pick. Sango, too.'

 

Like Inuyasha and his band, Kikyou and her sisters, Kagome and Sango, had been a struggling to just find a manager to get into the music business. No club would let them play, no company would sign them on in spite of the fact that each band had talent and the looks to get somewhere. It hadn't exactly been a fair deal. However, thanks to several lawsuits by bands and solo artists about fraudulent affairs, the music industry had been revolutionized. In order to get anywhere, a manager was required. That way if the artists were screwed out of money, it landed on the manager, not the clubs or the record companies. Not that he would screw his clients over for money. If they were happy, they paid him well. If they weren't . . . then they simply found someone new when a contract was up for renewal. That's just how it worked. With Kikyou and her sisters, it had just been a matter of finding the right label that would market them appropriately. And since he'd listened more to his groin rather than his heart and his mind the night he had bedded the woman . . .

 

`At least I can give her the brush off for tonight early,' he mused to himself, weaving through traffic like a pro. `Thank Kami she hasn't found out about my new loft. Yet.'

 

Several minutes later, he pulled into one of the most exclusive restaurants in Tokyo and parked. A tall woman with long hair and wearing an elegant mini dress scowled at him as he walked up.

 

“What took you so long, Naraku?” she demanded.

 

“I told you, Kikyou,” he sighed, pushing the door open. “I had an audition to attend.”

 

“Ah, yes,” she smiled mercilessly. “Another band of wannabes. Have you told the leader singer you want to fuck her yet?”

 

“It isn't a female band, Kikyou. It's an all-male band.”

 

“Oh . . .”

 

“Let's just have lunch, darling,” he shook his head. “We can talk business some other time.”

 

`And the sooner I can get away from you, the better.'

 

* * *

 

Inuyasha glanced at the paper then back at the tall building before him. He gulped nervously then pressed the call button. He just hoped that Kagawaki was home or he'd have made the trip for nothing.

 

`I can't believe this is actually happening . . . I just can't . . .'

 

After his bandmates had arrived at his place, Inuyasha had given them the low down of what had happened with Kagawaki Naraku. Immediately, everyone had gone to their personal planners just to find out what common day off they had. Then they had discussed which songs to play. Once everything had been settled, they began to practice, going until it started to get late. Once everyone had packed up and left, Inuyasha pulled Kagawaki's address out of his pocket. Now that he was there, he was nervous.

 

“Who is it?” a deep voice asked.

 

“In-inuyasha . . .”

 

“Ah yes. I've been expecting you. Come on up.”

 

The gate buzzed open, allowing him to enter. Inuyasha glanced at the paper again then drew a deep breath to calm his shaky nerves.

 

`It's all right,' he told himself as he entered the lobby then took an elevator to the top floor. `It's all right. It's just a meeting to discuss the details of the next audition. You've done this before. Just relax.'

 

He drew another deep breath then let it out, trying to keep himself calm. Still, a certain amount of excitement had begun to build in the pit of his belly. Everything he and his friends had worked for was starting to finally pay off. He just hoped he could keep his excitement contained until after a contract had been signed.

 

The elevator came to a stop and the doors slid open, admitting him to the floor that Kagawaki lived on. Seconds later, he was knocking on the door and doing his best not to fidget. He always fidgeted when he was nervous. The door opened to reveal Kagawaki. A warm smile greeted Inuyasha as Kagawaki stepped to the side to let him in. Inuyasha glanced around as the door closed behind him.

 

“Nice place, Kagawaki-san,” he murmured. The apartment itself was spacious, almost sterile-looking. A couch sat in the middle of the living room and a table with some chairs in the kitchen but not much else.

 

“Thank you,” came the reply. “It isn't much but it's a nice place for when I want to get away from it all. Can I get you something to drink?”

 

“Water, please,” Inuyasha murmured, still looking around.

 

“Water it is then. Have a seat on the couch and we can get started.”

 

Inuyasha made his way into the living room while Kagawaki rummaged through his refrigerator, pulling out two bottles of water. He graciously accepted his when it was handed to him then the dark-haired man set next to him.

 

“What have you got for me, Takera-san?”

 

Inuyasha dug into his pocket, retrieving the paper with the information outlined on it. He handed it to the man and watched him.

 

“So any time this upcoming Tuesday?”

 

“Hai,” Inuyasha nodded. “It was the first thing we did before practice today.”

 

“I see . . . I'm afraid Tuesday's not exactly a good day for me . . .”

 

Inuyasha felt his heart sink at those words.

 

`No . . . this can't happen . . . not when we're this close . . . please, Kami, let this happen.'

 

“However, I can make an exception,” Kagawaki smiled, looking up at him. “And I will. For you.”

 

“Really?” He hated the way his voice sounded too hopeful. He was supposed to keep everything under control and not act like some giddy little schoolgirl.

 

“Really,” Kagawaki nodded. “Tuesday at three. And make sure everyone's there.”

 

“I will,” Inuyasha promised, starting to rise to his feet. “You have no idea as to how much this means to me and my friends.”

 

“Don't worry about it,” came the chuckle. “It's what I'm here for. Now, before you go, there is something else I'd like to discuss you . . .”

 

“Sure,” Inuyasha frowned, not sure what else there was to discuss.

 

“It's actually very personal . . . something only you can do for me . . . a favour, really.”

 

“What kind of favour?” he inquired, feeling his shoulders relax some. For a moment, he thought it was about the contract and had wondered why it would be brought up now when Kagawaki hadn't even heard the second audition.

 

“This.”

 

Kagawaki leaned towards him . . . and kissed him. His hands grasped Inuyasha's cheeks, holding him in place. Bewildered, Inuyasha fell backwards, just barely managing to catch himself with his hands. The dark-haired man pressed forward, his lips crushing the singer's and his body pushing Inuyasha back even further.

 

`What the hell is going on?'

 

The kiss ended a few moments later. Kagawaki smiled.

 

“I want you. I want to taste more of you . . . now.”

 

“What?” Inuyasha squeaked out, his eyes wider than teacups.

 

“You heard me,” Kagawaki murmured, lowering his head. “I want you. I want to be in you. This is the one and only favour I want from you. And, for tonight, call me Naraku.”

 

His tongue brushed against Inuyasha's neck and collarbone, his mouth attaching itself to a particularly sensitive junction. He felt his flesh roll around against Kagawaki's teeth and lips as the dark-haired man sucked on it. Hips ground against his groin, eliciting a reaction.

 

`Shit! He's serious . . . and he knows what he's doing . . . shit . . .'

 

Inuyasha moaned, his eyes rolling into the back of his head as Kagawaki continued his oral assault on his neck. The fact that Kagawaki was a potential manager and that they shouldn't be doing this wasn't lost on the silver-haired male . . . and neither was the fact that the dark-haired man held his musical career in the palm of his hands. Kagawaki had asked for a favour and, blindly, Inuyasha had agreed. Hands slid down to his waist, grabbing the hemline of his shirt and tugging it up. Fingers brushed against bare skin as the fabric slid away. Before he knew it, they were both naked with Kagawaki's erection rubbing against him. And the man had yet to release his neck from his mouth.

 

`Damn, how am I going to explain that to the guys?'

 

Finally, Kagawaki lifted his head, a semi-satisfied smile on his face. He then kissed Inuyasha again.

 

“You,” he breathed, “are quite the beauty. I'm surprised no one's signed you and your band yet. You've got everything it takes. The talent, the voice . . . the body. Surrender it to me for tonight and I . . . I will guarantee it that you won't regret it.”

 

Numbly, Inuyasha nodded then felt his legs being spread so that Kagawaki's body was nestled comfortably against him. Once more, he kissed Inuyasha, his tongue demanding entrance. Hesitantly, Inuyasha returned it and allowed his mouth to be plundered savagely. An arm wrapped around his waist while Kagawaki's hand began to caress and stroke his cock. It began to harden and swell, and Inuyasha shuddered as pleasure surged through him from that one touch. No one had ever touched him like that. He'd spent more time working on his music than dating. The fact that he was allowing Kagawaki to even be doing this amazed him. Soon, he writhed against the body pressed on top of him, panting and moaning, every part of him feeling as if he'd been set on fire. With each stroke, a knot had formed in his stomach, making him feel achy in addition to being hot.

 

“You want more?” came the husky whisper. Inuyasha swallowed hard and nodded his head. The hand around his organ released it, causing him to whimper in protest but Kagawaki paid no attention to him. Instead, he reached underneath the couch and pulled out a rather large bottle of baby oil. With his free hand, he opened it and poured it onto Inuyasha's belly. He recapped it then let it drop to the floor. Kagawaki then rubbed his hand all over his abdomen, coating his hand. His hand then went back between their legs and stroked his own dick, making it slick with the oil. Inuyasha's ass was lifted up as Kagawaki situated himself at his hole, the slickened tip caressing him. Slowly, agonizingly, he started his penetration of the singer.

 

White and black spots danced before Inuyasha's eyes as pain seared his entire body. His back arched and his hips wiggled in an effort to ease his discomfort. He hadn't been expecting this! If the crimson-eyed man noticed his discomfort, he gave no indication. He just continued to slide his way in, grunting in pleasure the entire time. Once the engorged member had completed its task, Kagawaki paused.

 

“Kami, you're tight,” he groaned. “You ready?”

 

“I . . . I think so,” Inuyasha winced.

 

“Good.”

 

Flesh slapped against flesh as Kagawaki slid in and out of his anus, aiming his cock deeper each time. His hand went back to Inuyasha's cock and stroked in a counter rhythm to his thrusts. Pleasure mingled with the pain, sending shivers down Inuyasha's spine. He closed his eyes and allowed the sensations to take him away, unaware of his release and of Kagawaki's deep within him . . .
