A.N: For the sake of maintaining the feel of an Inuyasha fan fiction, our characters will maintain their names and will remain fairly in character (with the exception of some surprising twists). Each Chapter goes through a season of Inuyasha, to save myself time and length and to not make it too meaty for any of you to read. I'm not a writer, I just enjoy fan fictions and wanted to see something like this, so I made it myself. If you really don't like it, just don't read it. I really don\t want to be flamed. Never in my life did I think I would write a fan fiction, but people change I guess. I just hope you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer: Inuyasha is owned by Rumiko Takahashi and written by Katsuyuki Sumisawa; not mine. Toho company ltd is not mine either, I just thought that the Japanese company famous here in the west for their monster movies (Godzilla) and CG would be a great live action film company for Inuyasha. Anyways! On with the show!

The beginning of a phenomenon

She had no idea what she had gotten herself into. It had just been over a few months since the first episode of Inuyasha aired in Japan. The fandom that had started was already shocking, to say the least. Everywhere she went, she was followed. At the mall parking lot, paparazzi would hold a microphone and camera in her face as she walked into the store. People asked for her autograph when she was in a drive thru, for Kami's sake. There was no way of knowing that this was going to be as big as it was destined to, but she was already becoming a recluse due to the constant attention. She was so unprepared for this..

Currently, she sat on a lonely chair on the small balcony of her equally humble apartment. She was watching the sun rising over Tokyo, sipping on her usual earl grey with two sugars and contemplating the new found fame she had found herself encapsulated in. She by no means ever thought she would find herself here, having to hide out and shielding everyone precious to her from the tabloids. She had decided to move from her Mother's shrine as soon as she could afford it. She didn't want to burden her mother with everything she brought into her life, like she had for the past few years. She was so grateful for everything that her mother had done for her, but she was even more grateful for the opportunity to prove to her that she could do this.

She sighed and breathed in the warm soothing scent of her tea before taking a long sip. She heard footsteps and turned to look inside of the apartment.

"Ma ma?" came the little voice of her daughter. She was peering around the balcony's sliding glass door and looking as if she was worried about something.

"Hey baby girl, what's up?" Kagome set her tea down on the small, round table and stretched her arms out to her daughter. Rin quickly climbed up into her arms and nuzzled into her mothers chest, her hand wandering up to the pendant that hung around Kagome's neck that she always seems to fondle when she was upset.

"Mommy.. You looked so sad.. Rin didn't want you hurt.." The child looked up at her mother, a large frown plastered on her face. Her child's concern for her well being was always so endearing, yet it made her heart break whenever she saw that look.

"Mommy was just thinking about some things, but I'm very happy that I have you with me right now." she smiled down at the little girl in her arms, encouraged by the genuine concern written on her face, and kissed her on the nose. "You have no need to worry, my love.." She set her daughter down and took her little hand in her own as they walked back into the apartment. "I do have a question for you, though." She lead her daughter into the kitchen and sat her down at the table. Kagome began to prepare breakfast and her daughter became very anxious.

"what did you want to ask Rin, Mommy?" Kagome found her daughters referral of herself in the third person to be just plain adorable. She chewed on her lip as she grabbed the milk from the refrigerator and a glass from the nearby cupboard. She wanted to ask the right question.

As she poured a cup of milk for her daughter, she finally asked "How do you like working with Mommy, baby?" she turned around again and stirred the pot on the stove of miso soup.

"Rin loves going to work with Mommy very much! Everyone is so nice to Rin, and they tell her how good a job she does! Rin is very happy being with Mommy and her friends." the little girl beamed at her mother as Kagome poured the miso soup into a bowl and dished out rice for her daughter, then continued to plate the rest of their breakfast. Kagome was amazed at how nothing ever seemed to be negative in the little girls world, always seeing the positive. She was truly grateful to be able to have her daughter with her, but she had been worried that things would be hard for her. She was very relieved to find that that wasn't the case.

"I love having you with me too, Rin." she placed the plate in front of Rin and grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly, smiling widely at her daughter. "I'm so glad that you're happy. It make's me happy, too." Her daughter smiled at her, "Itadaki-masu!" and dug into her food.

"Hey dipshit, I thought I told you not to follow me around! Now beat it before I beat your face in!" A young man growled at a paparazzi, who now had a more then stunned look on his face. The press had been following him to the filming lot to 4 blocks now. No matter what he did or said, nothing seemed to deter the smuck. "Uurg, I can't take this creep any longer.." the man disappeared around a corner. The cameraman, clearly upset by his loss of this big star hissed "damn it!" and as he made to leave, the young star miraculously reappearing right in front of him, scaring the shit out of him.

"I guess the fact that your camera light is still on means your going with the latter choice?" He smiled wickedly as the cameraman's mouth fell open as he watched his camera crashed to the ground. His canon XF300 was completely destroyed. When he looked up again, the young man had disappeared for the last time. "Fucking celebrities. Just cause you have a show named after you doesn't mean your above everyone else.." the cameraman huffed and began picking up the pieces to his broken beyond repair 6 thousand dollar camera.

Inuyasha walked into the headquarters of TOHO company ltd, chatting with passers by as he made his way to the studio. As he sauntered in, all eyes turned to him and he cracked his already famous crooked smile. He began his way to the gang, noticing a new arrival amongst them. They were all in consume and running over lines. His eyes took in each of them; lingering briefly on Kagome, who held her daughter in her arms as she sat cross legged on the floor. He smiled to him self for a moment before looking around for his half-brother. He found him leaning against a tree on one of the sets. It was so odd to see him like that; dressed in all his glory with a green screen as the backdrop. He then noticed that Shessomaru's eyes were on him, and he quickly looked away. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha standing next to them.

"It's nice of you to finally grace us with your presence, Inuyasha. Always the last to arrive.." she turned to look at Sango. "We have a new full time cast member today."

"keh. Yea I noticed. Who is she?" Inuyasha spat back. Kagome glared at him before turning to Sango.

"My names Sango. I'll be traveling with your group as a demon exterminator starting in episode 24. Kagome suggested me for this part. We've been friend since grade school." She smiled at Kagome.

"They have to clear shit like that with me first. What if you didn't suit the part?" Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest, determined to test this woman.

"I believe I'm well qualified for this role. Not only am I of proper age, my ancestors were Taijiya, and my family has carried on the tradition and taught both my brother and I their ways. I'm proud to be of this dissention and take measures to make sure I understand it, and will teach my sons when they are old enough."

Inuyasha stared at the new cast member in awe. He had to admit that she was more then qualified and an extremely attractive woman, but his pride was hurt so all he could manage was a "keh. Whatever. Let's get started, then!"

It was night, now; but it wasn't quiet. It's what he hated most about the city. The noise, the smells, the incredibly disrespectful human being who walked the earth in swarms. He hated how they believed themselves to be the most advanced and intelligent species on the planet. It's as if they have placed themselves in a bubble outside of reality, happily ignorant of the truths of the world; of how fragile their race truly was.

It had come to him as a great shock to learn that his younger, half-brother had wanted him to be a part of his "big time TV show;" as he so put it. He had been hiding for so many years, and now, after some shochu and a long talk with Inuyasha, he had agreed.

Some part of him enjoyed people knowing the ferocity and power of the great lord of the western lands(who better then the lord himself to play the part?); that the money was well above his expectations, and the fact that they believed it all to be fiction was beneficial; But something about the way that his brother portrayed him irked him. It wasn't as if over the years he never had taken a lover and certainly he had never killed without reason. He had honour, strength, and loyalty. He has yet to this day to take a mate, but it is not of his own failings; that no woman he had ever courted could fulfill this lord and his expectations in a mate.

Ever since filming began on the show, he found himself drawn to the cast members. Each of them peeked his curiosity in different ways. Miroku, the lecherous monk on screen, yet off an entirely different being. Shippo, the child star; full of himself and overly flirtatious with the women on set. Sango, their recent addition, was very brave and a mother of two. She had just as much fury as Kagome..

He laid his arms against the railing on his 10th story apartment building, looking out past the city to the mountain. That girl probably drew his attention most of all.

She was young; only 23, yet had a child. Even so, she was probably the best mother he has thus met. Everything was about her daughter. And Rin had taken quite the liking to him. It was as if she saw through him, past the façade. As innocent and pure as her mother.

He continued to ponder Kagome well into the night, sure that there were so many more mysteries to unravel about the woman. How had she come to have a daughter? Did she see him, as her daughter did? How had she come to be the way that she is; to live the way she does; to act beside them all? And lastly, how does she fit into that little green skirt?
