Success /səkˈsɛs/ noun - the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like. Kagome and InuYasha, both living separate lives, both successful beyond compare and both having gained and lost many friends. When people show up from their past, things gets rather…complicated. I mean of course where there is success jealousy is sure to follow.

Click! Click! Click! "Just move a little bit to the left Kagome. Good girl." Click! Click! "Excellent. That's all for today gorgeous" Kagome relaxed, tired from having to hold such stiff poses. "How are they?" she called out to the tall man with shaggy dirty blonde hair as her intern handed her a black short snap-front polo t-shirt dress and she buttoned the front.
"They're phenomenal" he said as he looked through the pictures on his professional digital camera. She ran as fast as she could on sand, and tried to look over his shoulder. She gasped, "I love this one" she said pointing to the picture of her close up (link). "As do I"
"So we're done for today. I absolutely loved working with you Kagome and I look forward to working with you again in the future"
Kagome gave her signature smile, the one that melts the hearts and just about makes anyone love her. "I can't wait to work with you again Samson" she said as she extended her hand and he shook it.
"Come on Clara. I'm sure you're just as hungry as I am" Kagome said to her intern with a broad smile as she slipped her perfectly pedicured feet into black wedges.
"I'm ravenous" the blonde haired girl replied and followed her boss to the green jeep they came in.
Clara is an intern and wants to learn the ins and outs of the fashion world and was hired just a month ago but is still new to it all. Although she's a mere 19 years old, she's living on her own in a small one bedroom apartment in New York City and travels with Kagome and the modeling agency.
"Oh my gosh, I love this song!" Kagome exclaimed and turned up the radio and danced as Usher's 'OMG' blasted through the speakers. Clara (link) looked over to her passenger seat and shook her head at how childish Kagome behaves sometimes. At 20 years of age Kagome was living her life to fullest without a care in the world except for those she cared for most of course.
"Clara lighten up, you're younger than me and you act like a 30 year old woman" Clara's eyes widened as she sped down the highway "I DO NOT!" she gasped in utter shock, How dare she!
"That's the understatement of the year" Kagome mumbled and continued to dance until the song was over. "That was fun" she said as she placed her rather large Louis Vuitton sunglasses on her perfectly tanned face.
"Kagome I must say I found that statement quite insulting" Clara stated quietly in her British accent. Oh really? Kagome thought as she rolled her eyes nonchalantly. "Sorry if I hurt your feelings, I didn't mean to" and Clara grew a pleasant smile on her face "But it's true though" and her smile dropped "How so?"
"I've only known you for about a month, right?" and Clara nodded to confirm that Kagome was indeed correct. "I've tried everything possible to help you feel more comfortable and at ease but you're still so uptight"
"Well excuse me if I'm still new to this" Kagome raised an eyebrow at her slight and quite sudden attitude. "I give up" Kagome said with a sigh and they cruised down the highway and into the city.
Baby 1, 2, 3Tell em get the referee
Cause he can, get the knockout
if the telephone rings
its- "Hey Sango!" Kagome exclaimed happily into her custom made purple black and silver BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650, which she dug forcefully into her pink Steve Madden bag to retrieve.
"Hey Kagome. How'd the photo shoot go?"
"It was fine, he was nice" she said as she pinned her phone between her ear and her shoulder and put her hair up in a messy bun.
"I'm totally unconvinced right now" and Kagome could practically see the disbelief on her best friend and agent's face.
Sango was a fresh 22 year old woman with a feisty, can do attitude. Standing at the height of 5'7", 2 inches taller than Kagome with striking beauty. Her brown hair, reaching the very tip of her buttocks was always pulled in a high ponytail, her striking brown eyes both struck fear and also intrigued those who don't know her. As young as she is she is indeed more successful than 95% of the females her age. Having signed 17 models and a full time agent for Kagome, her life is at it's peak and she loves it.
"Come off it Sango, it was fine, perfectly fine" Kagome said with a nice smile "Clara and I are about to have lunch, want us to pick you up?"
Sango sighed, annoyed that she'd have to rush and get dressed "Sure, why not?" she answered and jolted out of bed so she could find something comfortable to wear.
"Alright. We'll be there in about, hm, 20 minutes" "Alright, see you soon" "See ya" and Kagome hung up and leaned her head on the headrest.
"Why would you invite her if you already know what the topic of conversation will be?" Clara said with a twinge of annoyance and Kagome did a double take. "She's my best friend; I have to talk to her about this. What's your issue with it anyway?"
"N-nothing. It's just a little boring talking about the wedding all the time" and Kagome nodded in agreement. "I guess you're right and it's tiring since we're doing all the planning"
"Who would've thought she'd be marrying Miroku Houshi" and the two girls looked at each other, threw their heads back and laughed.
