AN: It's really late and my eyes are burning but this idea came to me and I wanted to post it

Chapter 1: Meetings


It was a Saturday like any normal one. The wind blew softly, the sun shined brightly and each beautiful flower had bloomed just right. However in East Tokyo outside of one of the many tall buildings several teenagers ranging anywhere between 12 and 17 stood, just hoping for a chance at stardom.

"Hurry up Inuyasha" a violet-eyed boy of 13 yelled back to his friend "If we don't get there soon we're going to be late"

The boy Inuyasha quickened his pace as he felt his heart pounding in his chest. His breathing became labored as his footsteps matched his heartbeat. "I'm coming Miroku, keep your pants on"

Miroku just shrugged and continued his running as anxious as any of those teens to fulfill his dreams. No one not even his best friend was going to stop him.

It had been posted for several weeks- this audition. The famous singer Starlight had a video shoot coming up and she requested that her backup dancers be teenagers. Only ten would make it out of the possible hundreds that would show up, but it was an opportunity of a lifetime.

As the two boys ran by the auditioners Inuyasha stopped. They were each practicing so to speak, performing their own moves and trying to perfect them as quickly as possible. He fingered the strings attached to the gloves around his neck and resisted the urge to throw them and join the massive crowd of dancers. Shaking his head he reminded himself that he was a boxer-not a fruity dancer and he bounded away from the crowd, trying with all of his might to suppress the urges to move to the beat of his heart and melody of his breathing.


In a fairly large home on the other side of town a young girl moved melodically in front of her mirror. The music on her radio playing lightly behind her served as her background music as she moved each of her limbs fluidly, her long hair coming out of its messy ponytail as she picked up the tempo of her movements. Her breathing becoming erratic as she reached the climax of the song, when her door opened.

"Kagome" a girl of about a year older than her walked into the door "C'mon the auditions have to be starting soon"

The girl finally snapped out of her thoughts turned to face her elder sister "Okay Kikyo, I'll be ready in a minute, just let me finish this song"

"No, I'm not letting you miss this opportunity, we're going now" she grabbed her sisters gym bag and hand as she ran down the steps to the outside.

Kikyo checked her watch "3:57" she shook her head as she continued to drag her sister "We're running so late, its sure to be packed by now"

"It doesn't matter if I don't make this one, there is always the chance of another audition" Kagome tried to assure her sister "You shouldn't worry so much"

"You've been wanting to do this since we were little" she ran a bit faster "You push me to follow my dreams and now I'm pushing you to follow yours"

Kagome just smiled as she and her sister reached the back of the now even longer line as it wrapped around the building. Kikyo stood on her tiptoes in an attempt to see the front of the line "It's really long, I'm going to go ahead to see if I can sign your name" she began pushing pass the other line members.

"Kikyo wait" Kagome tried to call after her to no avail. Sighing she kicked a nearby rock and waited for her sister to return.


Inuyasha after having ditched Miroku made his way back to the video audition line. Reaching the end of the line he groaned at learning that the auditions were over. He had rushed several blocks for nothing.

Mentally sighing he walked across the street to the payphone to call his sister in law to pick him up. He knew he'd hear an earful at skipping out on boxing class, especially with all the money she invested into his lessons but he couldn't help it- the music and rhythms had been calling his name.

Several moments later people began rushing across the street, probably to use the payphones. Sidestepping to avoid the on-comers he turned his attention to the several posters depicting Starlight in concert and sighed at his missed opportunity. At that moment someone bumped into him directly.

Looking down to see the girl falling to the ground he caught her before she made impact. He felt his breath catch in his throat, she was really pretty. Possibly the prettiest girl he'd ever seen-like an angel.

"I'm so sorry" she said jumping back "Gomen nasai"

"It's fine" he replied still staring at her

"Well okay then" she said before turning to walk away

"My name's Inuyasha" he told her in an attempt to stop her

She turned to look at him "Inuyasha?"

"Yeah, what's yours" he stepped up to her

"Kagome" she turned to face him and hold out her hand

He took it and shook it lightly "Kagome" he said softly

Blushing slightly she asked hastily "So, you dance Inuyasha?"

He looked at her and slightly blushed at her question. All guy dancers were gay right? He couldn't tell her that he was, so he told her the one other hobby that came to mind "Nah, imma boxer"

"I see" she replied as a small smile graced her pretty features

He smiled back when he heard someone call his name "INUYASHA"

'Oh shit not now' he thought to himself as he heard his sister in law approaching

"Kagome" another girl called and rushed over to them. Inuyasha noted that she was pretty too and looked almost exactly like Kagome, sisters perhaps. "There you are"

"Yeah I was coming over here to call you"

"We have to get home quickly, before father does" she grabbed her hand when a brand new Crème colored Lexus Coupe pulled up to the curb next to them

"Inuyasha why in the hell aren't you at practice" Inuyasha's sister in law Kagura started on him "You're supposed to be there" The driver of the Lexus exited the car and approached the curb

Ignoring her he turned his attention to Kagome "Will I see you again"

Kagome blushed as Kikyo whispered in her ear "Who's he? He's kind of cute in a 13 year old, dorky sort of way"

"You most certainly will not" the driver glanced at Inuyasha and Kagura with a look of absolute disgust. "Kagome, Kikyo let's go" he grabbed both of their shoulders and pushed them towards the car.


Inuyasha seethed in anger as Kagome looked back at him as the car sped away. The immediate urge to punch something overwhelmed him, the next person he sparred with in practice were going to have a very bad day.

"Don't you worry about them Inuyasha" Kagura told him softly "There are plenty of people in the world who aren't like that, you don't need that girl, there are more fishes in the sea"

'But none as pretty as her' he thought to himself as he and his sister turned to walk home.


"What have I told you two about sneaking around behind my back" the driver turned to look at the two sisters

"The fault is mine father" Kikyo began "Kagome didn't want to….."

"That's enough Kikyo. Quit protecting her, Kagome is old enough to make her own decisions and accept responsibility for her actions" he glared at her "And conversing and blushing at that burakumin is one thing that will not go unpunished"

"So he's trash because he isn't wealthy" Kagome yelled at her father in response

Their father slammed on the brakes and turned to face them "No daughter of mine is going to lay with filthy vermin such as him. I've worked too hard to ensure this. No Higurashi woman will contaminate my blood line with filth, is that clear"

"Yes father" she replied softly as she felt tears coming to her eyes over a boy she didn't truly know and Kikyo grabbed her hand.

"I think it is time, you've met someone" he told her as he watched her cry through his rearview mirror "Yes, it is most definitely time"

'Oh great, what stuck up, persnickety, snobby person do I have to meet now.' She thought to herself as she looked towards the sky thinking of the boy she just met that she somehow felt connected to 'I don't know when and I don't know how. But I will see you again one day….Inuyasha'
