Encore

AN // Hey, this is just a one-shot, I've been swamped with stuff but it's slowly getting to where I can write (and finish) my stories.
Now the songs that are in here do not belong to me or Inuyasha, so, disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the songs Potential Breakup song by Aly & AJ or Stranger by Hilary Duff.
This one-shot is for the Feudal Fairy Tale Contest on Gaia online. Hope you like it BL!SS!!!
Let's get one with the story…
---(&)---
Smiling, Kagome ran into the dressing room at the House of Blues as her boyfriend followed her, growling.
"I'm telling you Kagome, she means nothing to me. I just met her on the street and she won't leave me alone!" Koga sighed and grabbed his Kagome by the back of her arms and stepped towards her.
They had been dating since Christmas after Koga had figured Inuyasha would never make the move towards Kagome and he had been relatively happy (especially since he was also sleeping with a red head, though Kagome didn't need to know he actually was cheating). Kagome had found him locking lips with the red head who claimed her name was Carla even though Koga knew Kagome knew Ayame in the first place.
"Kags," Turning around, Kagome faked teary eyes and hugged Koga, once her mouth was out of seeing range, Kagome smiled widely again as Inuyasha came into the room.
Humph, Wench better be telling him. "Is Cruella the angel ready to sing? The house is full." Inuyasha saw Kagome fake a pout as she let go of Koga, and gave him a quick kiss to his cheek.
Patting Koga's butt as she passed, Kagome trotted to the door but stopped before she reached the door way. "One thing Koga," He nodded as if expecting something special for not cheating. "The first song is for you, and just to warn you…" Turning around Kagome smirked before whispering the rest. "This song rings true..." Kagome walked away before she could even hear Koga ask what she meant by that.
She knew his demonic wolf ears heard her correctly he just wished to not understand.

"Mic checks done?"
The man controlling the sound and speakers of the stage nodded to Inuyasha before turning to the approaching Kagome. Inuyasha, her manager, was watching the best singer of Arizona walking towards them. Her midnight black hair curled and hitting the curve of her back as she walked. Cerulean blue eyes twinkled as she spotted him, eyelashes fluttering. Her make up was just perfect, kind of natural looking yet still like a female rock star.
Inuyasha inwardly shudder as he saw her clothes. Her black tube top showed off her breasts and her tone stomach. A studded white belt with pictures of brightly colored clouds accented her green and black plaid looking Bermuda pants. Hot pink Converse adorned her dainty feet; he could never find another woman more beautiful to him than Kagome.
"Hey guys, everything set?" She bounced lightly as she stopped in front of them, her hair curling around her face like a halo.
The sound guy nodded before saluting too her, commenting that he loved her music before leaving.
Kagome sneaked a peek through the curtain and sighed. "There are a lot of people out there aren't there."
"Well," Inuyasha smirked and made an amused noise. "You were never this big till you got the record deal; it may be a small record deal, but one none the less. Maybe we shouldn't have signed…"
Kagome heard the mock in his voice and turned to glare at him as she put her hands on her hips. "No, I just need to get used to have all of Arizona-"
"Then America…"
Kagome switched her glare from him to the crowd, "…Then all America, all right, I know I'm getting big fast and I need to accept it but-"
"Miss C.A. we start in five."
Turning to the manager of the House of Blues, Kagome sighed and nodded. "All right, I'm ready whenever."
Inuyasha mentally smiled and patted her shoulder before telling her he was hoping for a great performance. He walked away leaving Kagome with her nerves as she took another peek at the huge crowd shouting her singer name. 'Cruella… Cruella… Cruella…' It was endless; Kagome could hardly take the butterflies in her stomach and the excitement showing off on her face, it was double trouble for her. As the fans continued to scream, her mind played over the words for the first song she was going to sing. The Potential Break up song was one of the secret songs for the new album coming out in November. Her first CD in 2000 hadn't gone platinum or anything, it had just sold about 103,000 CDs to in Arizona, which had about 113, 998 people during the time. Now at 2007, there had to be more people and her second CD had sold about 2 times more than the first. This time her third CD, the one that was coming out in November was bound to be 10 times more, at first the CD didn't do so well but after MTV had picked her for YOU HEAR IT FIRST, she had begun to sell more and more.
"C.A.?"
Squealing slightly, Kagome turned around to see the manager back from re-checking everything. "Y-Yes…?"
"You go up in one minute." The man smiled and waved down the microphone guy.
Kagome got everything hooked up, the Mic and the plug in her ear just in case she forgot the words, and before she went on stage they took her behind a black translucent cloth that covered the whole stage.
"On in 3," Kagome gulped and did a small prayer before getting in a pose.
"2…" Come on Kagome, kill it. Inuyasha watched her fingers shake.
"…1…"
The music started, vaguely familiar like a Panic! At the Disco song and after a second the cloth fell to the stage and Kagome walked out with a grin on her face as she waved to the people. "Hello everybody thanks for coming!" Fans screamed Cruella for the next couple seconds till she began to go 'ooooh' and 'lala… lala'.
"It took too long
It took too long
It took to long for you to call back
And normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact it was my birthday
My stupid birthday…"
Kagome did a little dance before she began to walk to the other side of the stage.
"I played along
I played along
I played along it rolled right off my back
obviously my armor was cracked
what kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?
"The type of guy who doesn't see
What he has until she leaves
Don't let me go
Cause without me, you know you're lost
Wise up now or pay the cost
Soon you will know…"
Koga was terrified, he didn't know when she wrote this but he was sure she knew the truth. She knew he was cheating with Ayame… and now Kagome was singing a song about her "potentially" breaking up with him.
"
"This is the potential breakup song
My album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please tell me
Smiling as she sang, Kagome remembered when she wrote this. Kagome had bribed Ayame to sleep with Koga in hopes she would be able to break up with him before he found out.
"You can send it in a box
I don't care just drop it off
I won't be home
Cause without me, you know you're lost
Minus you I'm better off
Soon you will know…"
Koga must not be breathing 'cause he looks pale. Keh, he deserves it, Kagome always saw him looking at other woman and even though Koga didn't know, Kagome paid Ayame to sleep with him. Inuyasha chuckled silently and rolled his head to watch his Angel sing tauntingly to Koga as she grinned into the microphone. Her lip gloss shimmered in the light as her lips moved to the lyrics and her body moved to the song.
"You're not livin' till you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' till you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' till you're gettin'
Gettin' to me
You're not livin' till you're livin'
Livin' for me
"You can try, you can try
You know I know it'd be a lie
Without me you're gonna die
So you better think clearly, clearly
Before you nearly, nearly
Mess up the situation that your gonna miss dearly, dearly
C'mon
"You're not livin' till you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' till you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' till you're gettin'
Gettin' to me
You're not livin' till you're livin'
Livin' for me….
"This is the potential breakup song
my album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please tell me
"This is the potential make-up song
please just admit you're wrong
which will it be?
Which will it be...?"
The song finished and Kagome bowed slightly before waving at the crowd. "Did you like that?!" The crowd went wild and screamed Encore… Encore... "All right, how about… I sing another song from my upcoming CD before moving onto your favorite old ones… is that all right?!" The fans yelled yes as their arms were thrown into the air in an attempt to get Kagome to give them a high five as she got close enough.
"Now," Kagome smiled again before giggling. "This song like the first one is unfortunately for my now ex boyfriend Koga… Koga, will you come out here?"
As if he was being pushed, Koga haphazardly ran onto the stage with a nervous smile on his lips as he scratched the back of his head. "Y-Yes… s-sweetie, something you want?"
Kagome taunted him with her eyes as she patted his shoulder. "Now hunny isn't it true you cheated on me with one of my good friends?"
Everyone went silent before letting insults fly toward the wolf demon. He backed up a few centimeters before glancing towards Kagome's way.
Well it's coming Koga; I need to get rid of you and this is the way to do it. "Koga… this song is especially dedicated to you, I wrote it during the time you began to act weird whenever it was just you and me."
The song began and Kagome's hips began to move like belly dancers as Koga stood on stage like a fool.
"Nobody believes me when I tell 'em that you're out of your mind
Nobody believes me when I tell 'em that there's so much you hide
"You treat me like a queen when we go out
Wanna show everyone what our love's about
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd
But when no ones around
"Theres no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life…"
Looking backstage in hopes that someone would save him, Koga saw Sango and Miroku and all the other groupies that followed Kagome glaring at him. He could have sworn someone planned this, the songs and what happened fit too perfectly. He wished he hadn't but he had turned to look at Kagome and saw her eyes filled with anger, hate, happiness and humor.
"You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
"You made yourself look perfect in everyway
So when this goes down I'm the one that will be blamed
Your plan is working so you can just walk away
Baby your secret's safe…"
"Finally," Inuyasha sighed happily as he saw Koga about to pee in front of all of Arizona. Of course he couldn't live here anymore, for now all of Arizona hated him, for this concert was on TV.
"Theres no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
"You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
"Such a long way back from this place we arrived
When I think of all the time I've wasted I could cry…"
I can finally go to the one I truly love… thought Kagome as began to sing the last verses of the song.
"Theres no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
"You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
"Theres no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
Theres a stranger in my life
"You're not the person I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too…"
The song soon ended leaving a happy yet hateful at Koga crowd, a smiling Kagome and a half dead wolf.
Koga soon left the stage and even left the House of Blues, not bothering to look at anyone else on his way out.
Kagome watched him and a put the Mic back to her mouth. "Well, shall we move onto other songs?" The crowd roared and she began to sing.
---(&)---
Smirking, Inuyasha followed a sweaty yet undeniably happy Kagome into the dressing room. "Well… now that Koga's gone-"
"The door closed?"
Watching Kagome questioningly, Inuyasha closed the door, once the door clicked, Kagome attacked him. Her lips skillfully glided over his own as he was pushed against the door of the dressing room. Kagome… Closing his eyes, Inuyasha ignored the noises of the leaving fans, people backstage and everything else except for the pounding of their hearts and the moaning Kagome did as he took control of the kiss.
Breathless, Kagome let go of the hold she had on him and sat on the couch on the other side of the room. "Since he is finally gone…"
Inuyasha smirked and sat beside her. "…We can finally be together."
Kagome rested her head on his shoulder and turned on the TV. Simply enjoying her real boyfriend's company, they had secretly been dating; she had in fact been cheating on Koga before he cheated on her. Now that Koga was gone, she could date Inuyasha in peace.
