A/N: I do not own Inuyasha. I also do not own any of the lyrics or characters. But I do own this plot. So I ask that you do not be rude when you leave reviews. I don't write musical stories often. So bare with me, okay? Also the chapter titles will be after the song's title.
Chapter 1: They Don't Know About Us
Today was the day. The day of the music competition. Kagome was an inspiring singer, and loved the rush it gave her to sing in front of a large crowd. There were bands from all over Tokyo, who were entering the competition. The one band that Kagome wished she wouldn't hear or even see in the lists of competitors was Demonic Fang. That band, was the reason she had felt so much pain. The lead singer of that band used to be a close friend of hers. She had even fallen in love with him and wished she hadn't. Before his band had even begun, he had promised that one day he'd marry her. Well that was all lies. He never intended to marry her. One day she went to school like every other teenager, only to find him in a lip lock with the one and only biggest slut in the whole school, Kikyo Daimonji.
And he seemed to be enjoying it too because his tongue was being shoved down her throat. Just seeing it, was enough to bring tears to her eyes. That is when she made a promise to herself. That she would never fall in love again. With a harsh icy glare at the couple she turned swiftly on her heel leaving the clearing. She had seen enough. That was the last time she had seen Inuyasha Taisho. Because the next day she had moved to America to live with her father Tsuyomi Takai. You are probably wondering why her father has a different name from her mother? Well the answer is simple, they never really married. But kept in touch as she grew through the years. It wasn't fair, to have never met your father. To have never heard his voice. To have never felt his touch. It was far too cruel.
But one morning, that changed. She was sitting in her living room with the radio on. And a person announced the next singer. They called out to Tsuyomi Takai, lead singer to Rose Maiden. Why his band was named that she didn't know. It was a song called They Don't Know About Us. (Once again I will tell you all that I don't own the lyrics.)
I've tried playing it cool But when I'm looking at you I can't ever be brave 'Cause you make my heart race
Shot me out of the sky You're my kryptonite You keep making me weak Yeah, frozen and can't breathe
Something's gotta give now 'Cause I'm dying just to make you see That I need you here with me now 'Cause you've got that one thing
[Chorus:]
So get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing And you've got that one thing
Now I'm climbing the walls But you don't notice at all That I'm going out of my mind All day and all night
Something's gotta give now 'Cause I'm dying just to know your name And I need you here with me now 'Cause you've got that one thing
[Chorus:]
So get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my mind And come on, come into my life I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing And you've got that one thing
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
You've got that one thing
[Liam:]
Get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead
[Chorus:]
So get out, get out, get out of my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)
And come on, come into my life I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing Yeah, you've got that one thing
Kagome's eyes widened just hearing the man's voice. His voice was deep. It was seductive, it was like velvet had sweeped over her. So after that one moment she heard the song, she started practicing. It had taken her months to finally get it right, to get the words right. But when that moment finally happened, it was the summer of the music competition. Just hearing about it was enough to make her heart race. It had been eight years since she had seen 'him'. She never once uttered his name, never once talked about him. Kagome's mother Reira would often watch her daughter's movements. It was as if she was a robot. Never once blinking, never once showing emotion. It was like that happy-go-lucky girl was long gone. That made Reira sad, that she never would see her daughter laugh. Never see her smile.
It had been eight years, and even now, Kagome was still as emotionless as an ice glacier. She practiced all day and all night. Never stopping, never taking a break. Reira was amazed that her daughter hadn't colapsed from exhaustion.
That wasn't the only thing that Kagome did. No. When she wasn't singing, she was at her martial arts classes. She had surpassed her sensei's without even breaking a sweat. It was around her eighteenth birthday, when she started showing her demonic traits that looked very similar to one man. Tsuyomi Takai. The very same crimson stripes caressed her cheeks curving just under her eyes. The same went with her wrists, waist, thighs and ankles. In the middle of her forehead was a crimson flame surrounding a purple rose. She had claws and fangs. She was stubborn, and never once spoke of her feelings. And when she was singing it was like her feelings were all in the music.
Her eyes no longer a kind sapphire blue with enchanting gold. No. It was cold, it was like a frozen over ocean. There was no feeling there, nothing. Just emptiness.
If anything, the only thing that ran through Kagome's mind was 'what is Inuyasha doing these days.' But that left only further questions in her head. Questions she couldn't answer. So without another thought Kagome entered the music competition not knowing who she'd meet there. Not knowing that once again she'd feel the very same pain she had eight years ago. Such agony, such heat that radiated from her chest, such agonizing sizziling pain that felt like someone ripped out her heart and crushed it in their hand.
"Kagome!" a voice called out her name. She turned around to see her best friend Sango running down the hall. When she reached her she was out of breath.
"Thank god I found you! I've been looking all over for you." Sango said with a scowl on her face.
Kagome just stared calmly at Sango. "I've been here, you just weren't searching hard enough." Kagome retorted coldly, though her voice held a certain kindness to it when she talked to Sango.
"Look smart ass! You are on in five minutes, so I suggest you go take your position now!" Sango yelled her brown eyes narrowing in annoyance.
Kagome smirked in amusement, "yeah yeah." She mumbled as she turned on her heel towards the stage.
Kagome had the perfect song. She walked behind the curtain, her body feeling heated from the andrenilin rush. When her name was announced, well actually her alias name, Raven. She walked on the stage with a graceful glide, her long midnight black blue hair flowing behind her. What she saw sitting at one of the many tables since she was in a club called Midnight, she saw him. Silver hair that shined every time light hit it, the same golden eyes that put the sun and honey to shame. The same bronze colored skin that had no blemishes, was completely flawless. The very same girl who sat in his lap, the one who's face she wanted to rip off. Now wasn't the time for that. She had a show to do.
"And now without further ado, I give you the lovely Raven!" a man who held a mic in hand announced. Kagome smirked as she took her position, her eyes closed her breaths even and steady.
A gasp was heard through all the screams and cheers. And her name was whispered from those sinfully kissable lips. "Kagome..."
