P.S REVIEW!!

Kagome watched as the person in front of her moved up to the stage. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
'Tried' being the operative word.
She moved to the curtain aside and looked out into the huge crowd. She looked for her mom, grandpa, and Sota. She found them in the front row and she tried not to look for Sesshomaru.
She was still thinking about what he had said earlier.
FLASHBACK
"I'm sorry, my father thinks we shouldn't see each other anymore. I'll wish you good luck and that's all I can say." Sesshomaru's amber eyes were so open now, venerable and soft. If Kagome knew he wouldn't cry, she would have sworn they were filled with tears.
"B-But Sesshomaru-kun, I thought your dad liked me?" She didn't get what he was saying. They had been friends for the last six months. Kagome remembered the day they had met.
She had been the only girl at school that didn't faun over him, too busy caught up in her studies and her friends that she missed the new addition to the student body.
"No. I-I can't see you any more, Just go away!" Sesshomaru's tone had taken her aback, and she had run out of the choir room.
It had been only yesterday that he had said they could be friends forever, and now it was all gone.
END FLASHBACK
Kagome sighed and leaned back behind the curtain and leaned back on the wall.
'Ok Kagome, relax and let your fears float away. Think of clearing your throat and making it easier to make me sing…Oh, look at that wall, it's white and pale and looks like
Sesshomaru's skin-' Here Kagome stopped thinking all together and decided to keep her mind blank, all too soon her turn came.
She walked up on stage and blinked as the bright lights were turned on her.
"Hey guys, this song is for my best friend, Sesshomaru!"
"And
I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I'm giving up on doing this alone now Cause I've been
housing all this doubt and insecurity and I am a hostage to my own humanity Cause I've been housing all this
doubt and insecurity and
I've been
locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've
been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even
though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going
because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut
that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm
begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my
escape.
Cause I've
failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and
I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm
serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty
of grace is that it makes life not fair
I've been locked
inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been
dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even
though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going
because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this
complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be
my escape.
Self detained
and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking
is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to
give what You already gave
I've been locked inside that house all
the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and
that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in
knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get
outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by
mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm
begging You, I'm begging
You
to be my escape. I fought You for so long So were You
I should have let
You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying
to do was save my own skin
But so were You
As she finished she was greeted with silence.
Then everybody was standing up and screaming that she was great.
Kagome smiled and left the stage; sweating and happy.
She realized she had lost track of her friend Ayumi after she had been done singing, so she went looking for her.
On her way she passed the Principal's office, she heard muffled voices coming from the office and stopped to hear them better.
"Sesshomaru, don't fight. You know that keeping your distance from the human is best. You don't want to hurt her. And just because Naraku hasn't found us yet doesn't mean that he won't soon. Don't you remember what he did to Rin? Do you really want that to happen to Kagome?" At this, she stiffened and leaned in to listen to more of this mysterious person who spoke as if he and Sesshomaru weren't human.
"I know. And I don't." Sesshomaru's voice was soft and cold. Hard, too. Kagome gasped softly, she had never heard his voice so uncaring, sure he was distant and occasionally mean, but never so cold and devoid of emotion.
Suddenly the door was thrown open and Kagome was flung inward.
"Oof." Kagome landed on the floor in an ungraceful heap. She was lifted up after only a second by the back of her shirt, like a cat picking up her kittens by the scruff of their neck.
"Well, if it isn't the ignorant human herself."Said the person who picked me up, and with that he brought me closer to his eye level. This was the other person talking, and with a start I realized it was InuYasha, Sesshomaru's half-brother.
"InuYasha? What are you doing here, and where is Sess-"Here she was cut off as InuYasha transferred his hold from her shirt to her neck without dropping me.
His arm was a blur that she couldn't see. Kagome began to realize he was starting to cut off her oxygen, she panicked and started to claw at his hand, she realized with a jolt that Sesshomaru was standing right behind InuYasha and he was staring at her with unbridled fury. She shook and stopped her feeble
attempts to get InuYashas' unusually sharp fingernails from around her neck and stared at Sesshomaru with horror.
"Well, at least she knows when to give in to the inevitable, man Sesshomaru she's even smart enough not to scream, you sure know how to pick them." InuYasha's voice was hard and unrecognizable.
She gasped for breath and opened her mouth to speak. "Wh-why a-are yo-you doing t-this, Ses-Sessho?" She didn't have enough breath to complete his name, but she got her point across.
"You are nothing but a lowly human. I am a Prince of Demons, you have no right to speak to me that way." All this was said through clenched teeth.
As Kagome's vision was fading, she heard a sweet sound fill her ears. "What is that sound? Can you hear it?" She asked in wonderment, not paying any attention to the fact that she could breathe again, and that now instead of InuYasha standing before her, there was a woman. She had long, straight, black hair and was wearing Miko garb. Her brown eyes were the same shade as Kagome's.
"My name is Kikyo, you are my incarnation Higurashi Kagome."
