Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the song 'When There Was Me and You'. I just own the plot of this story and the main character.
A.N. The main character of this story is Kagome's daughter and since no one mentioned her in the anime or manga she's mine. In this story the well never opened for Kagome and she never got to see Inuyasha again, otherwise the main character would have been Inuyasha's daughter too. Enjoy the story, I really had fun writing this first chapter and need motivation in the form of reviews to keep my mind turning the way it was when I wrote this.
Chapter 1- Dreams are Meant for Sleeping
OoO
"It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here
But all I want is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
'Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care
I thought you were my fairytale
My dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star that's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song
Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams are meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
and now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Because I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Because I like the view
Oooh hoo hoo
I thought you felt it to
When there was me and you"
I can feel tears running down my face as I finish singing, normally I would be angry for tearing up over a song, for admitting weakness, but today they are welcome. Me crying only makes the song more dramatic and heartbreaking.
My audience eats that stuff up and it's immediately obvious they loved this song too. So just for the heck of it I decide to give them some desert.
" Thank you, Thank you." I say trying to get there attention.
" That song is dedicated to the person who wrote. Not me, but my mother Higarashi Kagome."
All but one of my audience cheers at that, the guy who doesn't is gapeing like a fish at me. Creepy. He looks familiar, but I know I've never seen him before.
" My mother wrote that song for the boy she loved when she was fifteen."
There are ahhs from the audience and some look like they might be tearing up, except that one guy who is now glaring, at me. Jesus, what is his problem?
" The boy was caught in between my mother and a powerful miko, out of sadness my mother wrote this song."
I ignore the creepy guy, 'cause the rest of the audience is practically bawling now. All thats left is the sad, sappy play on words.
" He was her fairytale, until he led her into a nightmare."
And with that I'm finished. The audience applaud as I walk off stage.
The smells of perfume and donuts envelop me. The behind stage area always smells like this. When I asked why I was told the owner of the local bakery is in-laws with the restaurants owner, Mr. Ookami and they always keep us stocked up on them.
Cafe Boẓulẽ, the most popular restaurant in Tokyo. Don't let the name deceive you, they are a complete restaurant. They have everything from traditional japenese food to italian pisZa on the menu. I work Tuesdays and Thursdays as a singer here. Some might argue that I have the slow nights, but Cafe Boẓulẽ never has a slow night.
Someone's voice interrupts my train of thoughts. I turn around to face Kagura, my best friend and coworker.
"Sorry could you repeat that Kagura?"
She huffs in annoyance.
" I said 'nice show Izayoi', sheesh you've been so spacey lately."
" Sorry Kagura."
I have been spacey lately, weird. I'm not usually the spacey one in my family though they tell me the spot has been open since mom died. My Uncle says she used to just sit there and stare at things, she always said they were daydreams about him…
" Kagome. Kagome. Kagome!" says Kagura, waving a hand in front of my face.
" Sorry Kagura, I just don't know whats wrong with me."
She smiles and takes a step closer to me.
" Niether do I."
At that we laugh together, I know she's just joking.
" So are you going to go shopping with me tomorrow?"
" Do I have to Kagura?" I really hate shopping.
She look's at me in bemusment.
" I will never understand that aversion you have to trying on a pair of jeans."
Pshh, yeah a single pair of jeans.
" I don't have any objection to a trying on a single pair of jeans."
She opens her mouth to protest to this but I cut her off.
" But being forced to try on 46 pairs and spend 3 hours in a changing stall is not too appealing to me."
I almost laugh at the look on her face.
" That was only once."
" You know what they say, once a serial shopper always a serial shopper."
" hnn."
At this I do laugh, it's one of those 'learned' behaviors she has from her husband.
She looks at me morosely.
" Goodbye Izayoi."
And starts walking away.
" Good bye to you too, oh royal wife of fluffy…"
She just huffs and keeps walking. I laugh more at this.
Kagura is amaZing. She's the best friend I've ever had. I don't usually like to bug her but, her relationship with her husband is just to funny. They always seem to know what each other are thinking and she seems to know everything he could ever want or need, it's almost creepy how well they know each other. But I guess after five centuries of being mated they have the right to.
Kagura is mated to Sesshomaru, Lord of the western lands. There longevity is due to the fact they are both demons. She is a wind demon and he is a 'dog' demon. Even though Kagura is rich enough that she does't need to work, she does. When we became friends I asked her about it, she told me that she needs an excuse to leave Sesshomaru side every once in a while. I can understand that, Sesshomaru is a bit overwhelming.
OoO
Someone grabs me from behind half way to my car. As I grab there hand and flip them over landing on the ground, they they yelp in pain.
I'm a half demon, so alot of people just assume that I have half power, what they don't know is that my mother was a powerful miko and passed her skills down to me.
" Ms. Izayoi!"
A muffled voice yells from the ground. A muffled voice that I recognize. I gasp, of corse it's my boss.
" I am so sorry Mr. Ookami. It's dark and when you grabbed me I just assumed…"
I trail off into silence as I notice the person he took down with him when I flipped him. It's a half demon. A half dog demon, but OMG he looks godly to me. Butt length silver hair, and amasing gold eyes. He body is gorgeous to! I don't usually take notice of guys but this one is just amasing. He glares at my gawking and gets off the ground, ignoring mister Ookami yell of "Inuyasha! You damn mutt!" when he steps on him, I can't tell whether or not It was an accident or on purpose.
" Stupid wench! You should be more careful!"
Stu…pid… wen…ch… stupid… wench… Stupid wench!
" WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?"
I know I shouldn't let my temper get the better of me but theres just something strangle annoying about him calling me that.
" Bitch, Stop your yelling. Your hurting my god damn ears!"
"Sit boy!"
-Thud!-
That was weird. Did he just through himself of the ground really hard or something? Am really that angry that I'm seeing things?
After a couple of minutes "Inuyasha" stands up, literally spitting dirt out of his mouth.
Then he and Kouga just look at me in… shock.
I sigh exasperatedly.
What the hell is going on?
A.N. I hope whoever is reading this is asking themselves the same question.
This is Kagomes daughter saying sit boy not Kagome.
So why are the subjugation beads listening to her? Find out in the next chapter of 'The Price of a Soul' Review!
