Fame vs. Kicks
Chapter 1
Summary: "Sorry didn't get the memo maybe next time when a bitch invites me to a high class party I'll remember to bring my stilettos." Kagome said glaring at Kagura before turning to leave. She didn't even spare her sister a glance as she left, leaving the entire house silent.
It's the summer before senior year for Kagome Higurashi, everything seems perfect as she makes her way down the stairs towards the kitchen where her father is awaiting her arrival. "Morning daddy." She kissed the peppered hair man as she moves about the kitchen looking for breakfast to start her first day of summer. "Good morning sweetie." He said placing his newspaper down and folds his hands in front of him. "Kagome, honey, I have some news for you." He starts slowly catching his daughter's attention. "Hum?" she hums placing a bowl with cereal down on the bar where her father is sitting at. "Your mother has request your presence for the summer." He told her watching her express go from cheery to extreme shock. Kagome's mother hasn't request to see her since the divorce over eight years ago, leaving a young Kagome heartbroken not only about her mother but her twin sister too. Honestly she didn't know how to response to her mother's offer since it's been nearly seven years since the last time she has seen her at all. Leaving the comfort of Nashville didn't sit well in his stomach not only that but her father as well along with her friends? "I don't know…" she trails off looking down at her forgotten breakfast as she pokes it with her spoon debating on whether or not she should even consider the offer.
"You don't have much of a choice, dear." Her father told her. Kagome closes her eyes trying to control her emotions about going to stay with her mother and sister for three long months. "That's not fair." She fought back looking up from the bowl to glare at her father. "How can you do this to me!?" she screams running out of the kitchen and up the stairs to her room to cry. Mr. Higurashi knew this would be the outcome of being told that her mother wants to see her all of a sudden but he also knows that she needs to visit and spend time with her mother whether she likes it or not. He lets out a sigh of frustration while getting up to check up on Kagome.
Once he reach Kagome's white door with her name painted in yellow on it, he gives it a firm knock. "What?" he can hear how broken she is over going to visit her family. Mr. Higurashi opens the door to see Kagome sitting at her window with a pillow drawn to her chest as she stares out the window with a tear stain face. "Kagome, I know how you feel about this but please do it for me?" he asks softly to his daughter. "When do I leave?" she asks ignoring his question. "Saturday morning." He answers deject by the way his daughter is acting. 'Two days, really?' she rolls her eyes continue to stare out the window wishing for something better than going to her mother's for the summer. Hearing her father sigh and the door closing behind him, Kagome closes her eyes to try and think what could be a possible bright side to this whole experience. 'I always wanted to go to L.A.' she thought with a ghost smile appear on her face.
Los Angeles, CA
"Kikyou," her mother calls out from the back door of their house, the woman spots her daughter lying in one of the white bench like chairs with her sunglasses on talking to two other girls. "Kikyou!" her mother shouts gaining her daughter and her friend's attention. The dark hair young woman sits up to look at her mother through her dark shades. "Yes?" she asks not really caring what her mother has to say. "Tell your friends to go home, we have things to discuss." She says turning from her daughter expecting her to follow her orders while she waits in the house for her daughter. "Damn, Kikyou, what did you do?" one girl with red hair pulled into two low ponytails asks looking back at her dark hair friend. "Did you get caught sneaking Inuyasha in?" the other girl with short brown hair asks giggling at the thought. Kikyou smirks at that thought of being caught with her hanyou boyfriend but she knows better than the girls that that's not what her mother is going to discuss with her. "Ayame, Rin, I'll catch up with you girls later." She spokes swiftly swings her off over the chair to stand up. The three girls said their good-byes as Kikyou strolls into her massive house that her mother and her lives in.
Kikyou makes her way down the hall with her sunglasses on top of her head and her towel that she was using earlier in her hand. She spots her mother in the living area waiting for her daughter to make her appearances "Mother, what is so important that you had to ruin my time with my friends?" she asks rolling her brown eyes. "I requested for your sister to spend the summer with us." She told her daughter with a smirk knowing that Kikyou would react to this. Kikyou stood there shock beyond belief at what her mother done. Her usual emotionless façade is showing her shock from the news her mother has place on her "No," Kikyou shakes her head in anger, "No! Why would you do that? This si the summer before my senior year and I have to spend it with her!?" Kikyou hisses out with anger lace in her voice. Her mother waves her off "Why must is always be about you?" Ms. Higurashi starts "Plus it'll be a great bonding experience for the both of you. Think about all of the sister bonding you both can do together?" her mother says with hope in her eyes. "No. She will not be anywhere near me." Kikyou grounds out.
Ms. Higurashi narrows her eyes and moves to stand up walking over to her daughter. "Kikyou, you will be nice and polite to your sister. You will also introduce her to your friends. Do you hear me?" she asks glaring at her own daughter daring her to back talk her again. Kikyou narrows her eyes as well "Fine, mother." She hisses turning on her heel to leave her mother's presences so she can gather her thoughts and get her emotions back in order.
Nashville, TN
It's been two days since her father told her the news about going to L.A. to stay with her mother and sister. Kagome sits nervously in her seat on the plane waiting for it to take off knowing that this summer will be different that's not doubt but she worries about how her mother let alone her sister will treat her. She doubts her mother will be rude to her but that doesn't say anything about Kikyou. Even though the two are twins they have quite a few differences for example, Kagome's eyes are a stormy blue while Kikyou's are brown. Their personalities are very different since Kagome is more friendly and talkative while Kikyou is snuck up and thinks highly of her herself no doubt from being rich. Kagome can only hope that her sister doesn't hate her too much for coming to stay the summer not like she had a choice in the matter but knowing Kikyou, she'll find a way to pin it on Kagome. 'I hope we can be somewhat friends by the end of the summer.' With that thought Kagome turns her glaze to the window to stare out of it to keep her mind off of her travels.
