~*Ok, This is my second Inuyasha fic and it will be a lot longer than the other one. Please, Please read and review, because I want to know what you think! And also, please try to keep the flames to a minimum. Thankx and enjoy!*~
Inuyasha and Kagome knew each other as kids and now despise one another. Both rising stars in the music industry with mothers as their managers can't be a good thing, especially when they mothers have been planning since their kids birth that they would marry. What will happen when fate forces them on a summer tour together?
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the lyrics I put with my story.
To Catch A Star~*By PuRpLeDiRt*~
*You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through*"Inu K Sweeps Country By Storm. Millions of girls swoon over the music industry's newest hunk. Details on page 25." Kagome read out loud. "Please, Mom, can you believe this stuff? I mean, if they really got to know Inuyasha, they wouldn't be acting like they are. He is just a pompous, self-centered jerk that cares about no one but himself!"
"Aww, honey, you're just biased." Kagome's mother smiled. "You know, people can change over time, and it has been a while since you saw him last."
"Mom, I grew up with him! If he was like that most of his life, he couldn't have changed that much! It has only been 7 years since we last met up." The 21 year old girl with raven hair complained. "And trust me, 7 years isn't long enough. He totally tortured me when we were kids!"
Kagome Higurashi just didn't understand. Her mother, Rella, who was also her manager couldn't blame the girl. But Kagome was now making her way into the music business with a hit single and a debut album. Kagome's singing career was just taking off, and she couldn't be anymore excited. She was ecstatic when Tenseiga Records offered her a contract. It probably helped that the record label's owner was none other than Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha older half brother, and since Kagome's and Inuyasha's moms were best friends, Kagome did have some connections.
"Okay, honey, I have a meeting to run to, it is to set up you're summer tour. I shouldn't be home too late and I want to you do some practicing." Rella told Kagome.
"Okay, whatever, I'll just make some instant ramen for dinner or something." Kagome replied, never taking her eyes off the article she was reading.
'She is in for a surprise, I just hope it all works out.' Rella thought with a smile.

"Inuyasha dear, I'm leaving to go to my meeting to set up your summer tour, okay? If you decide you want something to eat, just ring for one of the servants and they'll bring you something." Inuyasha's mom called out.
"Feh, whatever." Inuyasha grunted.
Laela Kotori, Inuyasha's mother, who also happened to be his manager, couldn't help but smile. Sometimes her son could be such a little kid. At 24, Inuyasha was still a bit immature. The tall boy with the long black hair and violet eyes (A/N In this story Inuyasha is in his human form.) stood proud, with a muscular body. But, he tended to have a mischievous gleam in his eyes that was a little scary if you saw it.
"Don't give the servants too much trouble" Mrs. Kotori wagged her finger at Inuyasha. "I'm leaving now."
As Mrs. Kotori opened the front door to walk out, a smile crept up onto her face. 'This is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to see his expression!'

"Laela, please have a seat" Rella greeted her with a smile as the hostess brought Laela to the table.
"It's so good to see you again! And under such fun circumstances!" Laela giggled. "I can't wait to see the expression on their faces when they find out they will be touring together."
"I know, me too, but first we need to get this set up so that it can actually happen. And on this tour I want them to sing a duet, if not two. They need to get over this childish fight they've been having for the past seven years. And who knows, maybe something else will come out of it…" Rella trailed off with a mischievous smile on her face.
" Ooh, we could be grandmas soon!" Laela squealed.
"Don't' get too ahead of yourself, Laela, first we have to get them to talk to each other and that will be a challenging feat on its own. First, this is what we need to do…" Rella and Laela began the long planning session of how to get their kids together.

"I just can't believe this!" Kagome said in disbelief as she finished the article she had been reading. "Well, hopefully I won't bump into him anytime soon. Just the sight of him is enough to piss me off. Well, this is quite boring. 372 channels and not one thing good to watch. I guess I'll give Sango a call and see what's up with her." Kagome picked up her cell phone and pressed 2 on the speed dial to call Sango.
Sango Himeicho was Kagome's best friend for as long as she could remember. The two grew up together and Sango knew first hand what Inuyasha was like so she would always take Kagome's side of the argument against him.
"Hey Sango, what's up over there? Here, it is just so boring and lonely." Kagome said, trying to sound as pitiful as possible.
"Well, hello to you too." Sango replied with a chuckle. "I guess that is a 'subtle' hint that you want to go do something?"
"Oh, you know me too well." Kagome chuckled. "So, what are you up for? Shopping? A movie? Or how about hitting up the club?"
"Hmm… well, I do like the sound of the club, after all, it is college night so that means there will be a lot of cute guys there."
"And my mom did tell me to practice. Maybe I'll work on my choreography and stage presence." Kagome concluded.
"Ok, well, I don't think that's what she had in mind, but hey, how can you argue with that?" Sango said
"Good, so how about I come around about 10:00 to pick you up?" Kagome asked.
"Sounds great, see you then!"

Inuyasha lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "Holy shit, this is so fucking boring!" Getting up, he went over to where his computer was and signed on to his AIM. As usual, his best friend and long time bud, Miroku was on. "Probably in some female chat room asking women to bear his child." Grumbled Inuyasha. Why he would continually ask after all the rejections and slaps he got, Inuyasha would never know.
++++AIM conversation++++
meTaLlic_FaNg47: Hey Miroku, N E luck w/ the ladies?

"What to wear, what to where? Oh, I'll never figure this out!" an exasperated Kagome yelled. Clothes were strewn about the room in an attempt to find the 'perfect' outfit. About an hour and a half later, she had finally decided on a black mini skirt with a rhinestone chain belt and a shimmery silver midriff top that covered her front with criss-crossed straps in the back. She decided that since she had five minutes to go pick up Sango, she would leave her hair down and put on a little bit of make up. She grabbed her keys and ran out the door to her '04 Mazda RX8. It was equipped with an awesome sound system that pumped club music out of the two 10" subwoofers in the trunk when the key turned in the ignition. She made it to Sango's house in 3 minutes.
"Oh my gosh, you are so late! It is 10:00 and 15 seconds!" Sango joked.
"Haha, are you coming?" Kagome replied sarcastically.
"Geez, don't act so thrilled to see me!" Sango retorted.
About half an hour later they arrived at one of the hottest clubs in town. Armed with their ids, they got in line and got ready to party. The place was packed. Music pumped around the room and sweaty guys and girls were crushed together on the dance floor. Kagome and Sango decided to stay on the edge of the group, near one of the cages, which was their favorite dance spot, when they could get in. They were definitely having a great time, thinking that nothing could ruin their perfect evening. They had all of the cute guys in the club flocking around them, making a bunch of the other girls envious.

A couple of honks sounded as Inuyasha pulled into Miroku's driveway. Miroku came out of his house and walked towards the red convertible MR2 Spyder.
"Hey, I'm here, ok, enough with the honking."
"Come on, you know I enjoy that. What could be better than annoying you, Miroku?" Inuyasha joked.
"Um… maybe picking up some chicks and doing a little some-something…" Miroku suggested, wiggling his eyebrows.
Do you ever think of anything else, oh wait, I already know the answer to that, NO!" Inuyasha added, starting the engine and shifting into reverse. He punched the clutch in hard, and peeled out in front of Miroku's house. A short while later they were in front of Club Rokku. As they flashed their ids, they entered the open doors only to be blasted with a sensuous melody.
"Ah… now this is more like it. This is what I needed to do." Inuyasha said as his body began to sway to the music. "It's nice to be normal once, hanging out like normal people and not having all kinds of people crowding around me, recognizing me as a famous pop star."
"I guess the life isn't as glamorous as I thought it would be. You have a lot to put up with, bro." Miroku empathized. They headed towards the dance floor. Several girls headed towards them to try and dance. They were having a great time, Miroku especially since normally, he would never be able to grope girls without them getting mad. But they didn't seem to mind while grinding. Inuyasha turned around to tell Miroku he was going to get something to drink. He headed to the bar and requested a white Russian from the bartender. As he was receiving the drink he elbowed the person standing to the right of him on accident. Turning around to apologize, Inuyasha found himself staring into a pair of deep blue eyes, and shock registered on his face.

Kagome felt someone bump into her while at the bar. Turning around to demand an apology, she saw a pair of violet eyes and long black hair entered her view. 'Oh Kami-sama, it can't be… no way in hell can he be here!!' she panicked in her mind. She almost dropped the drink she was holding in her hand.

Ok, so it took me a while to get this first chapter all written. If you were wondering, the couple of lines written at the beginning are from Linkin Park's song " Points of Authority." I will probably use a lot of Linkin Park lyrics, since they are my fav band. Please PLEASE R+R!!!! I would really like to know what you think about my new story.
