Full Summary: Kagome is in a bind and needs to make some moves quickly. She got fired from her current job because she refused to sleep with the boss. Her car is threatened to be repossessed and homeless soon if she doesn't start making some money. She so happened checked out Craigslist for something quick and easy. She chances upon an ad to be a paid actress. Reading the specifics that were vague she decides what the heck and calls. Those vague details were that she was to be a stand in wife until the real one comes back. Being paid for her time and mooch off the rich. Will Kagome make it unscathed and her heart still in contact?

Chapter 1

"This message is for Kagome Higurashi. This is Thelma Riggins with GLM Finances. This is the fifth time calling to collect on a debt. Any information that you do provide will be used to settle your debt you have with our company. You're on the list to getting your 2012 Hyundai Sonata car being repossessed if you do not call and make some type of arrangements."

"Delete," Kagome said and deleted the fifteenth message from some sort of debt collector.

"I guess I should have let that pig rub my boob. I could still be working and not worrying if my car is going to be paid or not," Kagome whispered to herself.

"Hey Kaggy bear. Look. I hate to do this over the phone but here we go. I think that we should start seeing other people. I know the cliche 'It's me not you' which is true. We have two different goals in mind. I want to travel and you want something I'm not ready for. I don't want to get married. I'm 27. I'm not ready for that type of commitment. I'm going to be around. If you need anything call me. I guess this is it. Keep your head up and don't cry and get fat on me. In a couple of years we can revisit marriage. Well...bye...I guess."

"Asshole," Kagome mumbled and threw her phone on the couch as she made her way to the kitchen.

She walked to her refrigerator and pulled out the last of her milk and cereal. She smelled it and it didn't stink bad it seemed like it was still drinkable. She poured it in her bowl covering the stale cereal of Berry Treats.

Bang Bang

"Ms. Higurashi are you in there? Your rent money is due. You have until Friday to pay or I'm kicking your ass out of my building," her landlord yelled through the door.

"Fucking bitch," she heard the landlord mumble.

Kagome laid down on her couch trying not to cry.

Ring Ring

Kagome reached for her cell phone and answered the phone after she checked the caller id. It was her mother.

"Kagome? Dear it's your mother. Someone from Arons called saying that you owe them money," her mother informed her.

"Just ignore them Ma. I'm working on it," Kagome groaned in the phone.

"Dear I'm worried about you. Why don't you come home and get back on your feet. There is nothing wrong coming back to the nest to recharge and refocus," her mother persuaded.

"Ma," Kagome moaned because her strength wasn't in the phone call anymore.

"I'll make your favorite," her mother knowing that she was going to win the argument.

"You don't play fair, you know that right," Kagome said as she looked around at the items that she needed to pack.

She was going to throw in the towel and crawl back to her mother.

"I know Pumpkin. Your father said the same thing when he was signing his latest alimony check. Life's not fair," her mother said nonchalantly.

"I gotta go. I'll call you when I'm on my way. If you can. Can you...you know," Kagome let the question hang.

"Yes sweetheart. I'll put $500 in your account. That can get you some gas at least and food," her mother said.

"Thanks Ma. You're the best," Kagome said and her stomach thanked her as well.

"Make sure to come soon. Your grandfather and I are going to his class reunion. I'm surprised there is anyone left alive. Anywho, the key is in the fake rock. We will be back on Monday see you then Baby Girl," her mother said and hung up the phone.

Kagome laid back on her couch and looked around her spacious one-bedroom apartment. This apartment when she first moved here was a signal that she finally made it. Going back home and giving up her apartment what did that mean?

She slowly got up and started collecting her belongings that could fit in her duffle bag. She took a cold shower since the hot water was off which was a tactic to get her out of the apartment. Clearly didn't work. She made three trips until everything somewhat fit in her car. She turned her apartment key and flicked off her landlord behind his back and walked back to her car.

She went to the bank before they sucked up the 500 bucks from her account to pay something that could wait.

Satisfied she started her trek back to the Higurashi nest that was purposely 4 hours away from her old apartment. Trying not to be depressed she inserted in her favorite Destiny's Child cd and played it loudly. Her anthem for her trip back home.

"I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm not gon give up (What?)

I'm not gon stop (What?)

I'm gon work harder (What?)

I'm a survivor (What?)

I'm gonna make it (What?)

I will survive (What?)

Keep on survivin' (What?)!"

A/N: A thought that popped in my head for some strange reason. It's a bit short but the other chapters will be longer:) Please leave a review and tell me what you think! I tried getting a script for a debit collector call so hopefully it's something similiar.

If you read any of my other stories I updated Escaping Utopia today and working on What's the Worst that Could Happen.

Until Next Time
