Hey Guys thank you SSSSOO much for reviewing I really appreciate it!!
Here is the second chapter of Remember Me Now – "Kagome's Decision"
Oh &&I kinda forgot the disclaimer last time SORRY
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters.
Kagome'sPOV
I don't know what I was thinking, maybe I was just to paralyzed and shocked, or delusional…I really don't know. I don't know what made me actually consider their offer go home and pack away my wonderful great life here to go back to the life I'd tried so hard to forget for the last 6 years.
I mean the modeling and stuff I don't know why they would want me of all people…I don't get it, I can't help getting the feeling like I'm more of a much bigger plan. Oh please don't let it have to do anything with Inuyasha. Oh no Inuyasha would I see him there? Augh of course I would why the hell did I get on this damn plane?! Oh come on Kagome slap some sense into yourself!! You're stronger than that!! Show him exactly how much you had to suffer!! screamed back my angry conscience.
That's right, he can't do anything to me, but still after all those torturing things he did do to me, my childhood memories still scare me. But maybe this whole thing was suppose to happen for a reason. Oh I don't know…breath Kagome, breath….
"Kagome? Are okay? I don't think I've seen someone change to so many colors, and had all those moods flashed across their face except in anime cartoon shows. Your not going to hyperventilate on me too are you?" Sango asked with a teasing worried voice, a slight smirk played on her lips, as she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
That's right Sango is here with me, I must of forgotten, I'm glad she's here, I don't think I could go through with this thing without her I'm glad they agree to let her come along.
::::::::::::::Flashback::::::::::::::
"You want me to be your next model?!" I asked not for one second trusting my ears to of heard Rin ask such a thing.
Rin just smirked amused by the disbelieving look on my dumbfounded face I probably had on right now. But I didn't care I still didn't believe her.
"Trust me Kagome, this would be a great opportunity," she said in a way that made me think exactly what she meant by the "great opportunity" part, it didn't really sound like it was in my benefit.
Sesshomaru joined us once again after signing an autograph for the older woman, who was currently hugging it tightly against her chest, like as if she were to let it go it would disappear into thin air.
"Kagome, believe it or not your what we need and we'd be honored to have you. My brother I assure you will not do any harm to you as long as we're there," he said with so much authority I couldn't doubt him, but still his small key words of "as long as we're there" stood out. I couldn't help asking myself, and what about when you weren't?
"Call us Kagome, we'll cover what you need if you say yes," Rin said as she slipped their business card into the counter, and left with their groceries.
Slowly recovering from the current encounter I turned my gaze to the card she'd left and picked it up examining it.
Takahashi Co.
"Where Beauty &&Style Creates Imagination Itself"
Located at the bottom was their cell phone number.
sigh what am I suppose to do now?
"Uh…ma'am could I get my items scanned I've been waiting here for 15 minutes patiently," I jumped startled almost dropping the card. I looked to where the voice came from to see a customer in line looking quite impatient.
"Oh I'm so sorry!!" I said quickly scanning their items, going back to the state of mind where I didn't have to worry, I pushed the encounter I had to the far back of my mind, temporarily forgetting the meeting.
"KAGOME YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT!!!" screamed Sango from across the parking lot running straight for me.
I jumped up startled, and had dropped my keys in a puddle in front me. Dammit.
Sango had reached me by this time and started squealing and jumping up and down uncontrollably, talking about who knows what in super-speed mode, while I watched her with a tired expression.
"Sango calm down I'm really tired and I got a headache and your squealing is only making it worse," I answered.
"Oh I'm sorry Kagome I'm just so happy for you," she said as she automatically stopped her antics and started choking me in a bear hug, "I just can't believe that you're going to be a model!!" she stated excitedly.
"How'd you know? I haven't even said yes yet, and then there is that whole thing about Inuyasha and stuff…." I said as her grip lightened and her arms fell while I directed my gaze to the ground, as the sullen mode overcame us.
"Kagome the whole entire store practically heard your conversation with the biggest model company in Japan!! Plus who cares about Inuyasha you heard Sesshomaru; he isn't going to let him bother you. I'll even go with you if you want me to, I've been dying to kick his ass anyways after everything he did," Sango vowed.
I had to laugh at this, that's why Sango was my best friend, I could tell her anything I wanted and she's somehow make the worst situations turn out to be a whole lot better. That would be great if she could come too, if I do decide to take the offer I'll make sure that they take her or else I'm not going.
"I guess your right Sango it would be fun to watch you pound him into the ground but just leave me out of it okay? And try to make it look like an accident," I said playfully, my mood seemingly lightening up thanks to Sango.
"Don't I always Kagome?" she said in a challenging tone. Exactly what has she done that I don't know about? I'll just ask her later. "But besides that Kagome really you should take it. It will be way better than working in the smelly old grocery store we live in now," she said. Which was pretty much true, I don't know why people even go there.
"I'll think about it okay? I promise," I said placing a hand on my heart and raising the other like a scout's honor.
"Alright you better. Call me later to tell me what you decide," she said while already beginning to run back to her car.
I just waved her goodbye as I watched her go. When her car drove out of the parking lot, I flopped my hand back to my side as if it just gained another 30 pounds and my sullen mood once again returned along with second thoughts. Misery just loves company.
"I meet some interesting people today mama," I said bringing up the subject during dinner nonchalantly.
"Oh who were they dear?" asked mom curiosity lased in her voice, as she picked up noodles from their soup with her chopsticks and placed them in her mouth.
"Rin and Sesshomaru Takahashi," I said simply not taking my eyes from my steaming hot soup.
I heard a small gasp from my mother as her chopsticks dropped to the table, and I'm sure her gazed automatically turned to me eyes wide. My brother sitting across from me, started chocking on the big gulp he started drinking from his soup. When he'd finally gotten in control he'd blurted out, "but Kagome, when we moved here you never even wanted to hear the words Takahashi or else you'd break down crying. Now you'd met Inuyasha's brother?" he asked surprised.
I just nodded my head while continuing to eat my soup, acting as if the words didn't affect me. "They asked me to take on a modeling job for their company," I said, shocking them even more.
"Honey, they're the biggest modeling company in Japan and they want you as a model?! Are you going to take the offer and go back to Tokyo?" she asked not even trying to hide the worry and surprise in her voice.
For the first time I actually looked up at their stunned faces, and said, "I don't know, I was considering the option and Sango said that it would be a great opportunity. I could be making triple of what I'm making now, it could really help…"
"It's not always about the money Kagome," she said softly as I turned my gaze towards her quizzically, "you have to consider that 6 years ago you came crying to me how you hated it. Now you want to move back there? Just make sure that this is what you want to do," she said making me once again second guess myself.
"Yeah sis, what if you see Inuyasha again?" he blurted.
"Souta!!" yelled mom scolding my brother. A few years ago I asked them to never say the name Inuyasha because I was trying to erase everything I could from my old life. But now hearing his name, it didn't hurt to so much just a slight sting.
"Its okay mom, Sesshomaru said he won't allow Inuyasha to do anything to me," I said, hoping that my words sounded more reassuring to her than I felt.
My mom gave me a worried look but just gave me the mother answer of, "Its what you want to do Kagome, I know you'll make the right choice." I needed a better answer than that for my decision, but I didn't really expect anymore help than that.
AuthorsPOV
When Kagome had finished her dinner and told her family more about her adventurous day she headed up to her room and signed on to AIM to see if Sango could tell her more about what decision she should make.
FrOOtLOOps101: HAS SIGNED ON
Sango was currently online bored out of her mind and on the verge of getting off when she saw that Kagome had signed on.
KillThePerv96: Hey Kagome!!
FrOOtyLOOps101: Hey Sango, I still can't make up my decision and I'm really confuzzled. $
KillThePerv96: Confuzzled?? Kagome that's not a word

FrOOtyLOOps101: Lol haha I guess so.
Sango was glad that her best friend finally decided to take the job, this was perfect!! A door opening on AIM signaled that someone had signed in on Sango AIM list but she didn't bother to look until an AIM pop up box had come up.
IAmJustToSexy: SANGO MY LOVE!! I MISS YOU!!!
KillThePerv96: What the hell do you want Miroku?!
IAmJustToSexy: ::tears:: Why Sango you've hurt me!!
KillThePerv96: ::sweat drops:: Miroku is this going to be another useless conversation or are you actually going to say something important this time cuz I'm kinda busy talking to Kagome

IAmJustToSexy: I can fix that pain in your butt with a nice massage I'll do if for FREE my dear Sango!!

Sango clicked the screen to minimize the box and restored Kagome's AIM box noticing all the flashing from the missed messages
FrOOtyLOOps101: Sango?? Are you there?

FrOOtyLOOps101: Okay okay…sheesh you all are so hyper O.o
Sango glanced at her buddy list inviting them into a private chat room, called 'Slay the Pervert'. She typed a greeting in the text box, starting their group conversation.
KillThePerv96: There Miroku are you happy now?
IAmJustToSexy: KAGOME!! I'VE MISSED YOU DEAR KAGOME!!!

KillThePerv96: KAGOME!! Not you too!
IAmJustToSexy: I know I'm just too irresistible. But hey not all are blessed with brains and good looks ::shrugs::
KillThePerv96: Well isn't it a shame that you weren't blessed with neither.
IAmJustToSexy: Oh Sango O Sango, all these brains, good looks, and this perfect charm, do you think you can handle this? ::plays background music::
FrOOtyLOOps101: LMAO XD
Kagome was enjoying having them in a conversation, she loved hearing how Sango would get angry and Miroku would tease her. She knew that they loved each other but neither one seemed to truly see it even though Miroku made it bluntly obvious, Sango just refused to believe him since he was such a player. Kagome has known Miroku for only about a year when Sango had finally introduced him to her over AIM. Also strangely he living back in Tokyo with Inuyasha but she never got around to asking him if she knew him or not, she didn't really want an answer.
FrOOtyLOOps101: Oh Miroku! Guess what!!!!!!!!!
IAmJustToSexy: What is it Kagome?
FrOOtyLOOps101: I'm moving back to Tokyo!! I finally get to meet you::squeals::
IAmJustToSexy: O.O I finally get to meet the one and only famous Kagome now do I? Why Sango didn't you tell me of this good news?
KillThePerv96: ::confused:: because she hadn't made up her mind yet. I guess she did now
FrOOtyLOOps101: Yuppers!! If I have you and Miroku there I'll know everything is going to be okay. Bye Miroku and Sango I'm going to go and call them!!
FrOOtyLOOps101: Has Left The Room
IAmJustToSexy: I take it that she doesn't know does she?
KillThePerv96: No she doesn't. Does he?
IAmJustToSexy: He never does.
IAmJustToSexy: Are you sure that you still want to do this?
KillThePerv96: Yeah it could really help them. Plus the idiot's got to learn.
IAmJustToSexy: True
IAmJustToSexy: Then I guess I'll be seeing you soon my love sweet dreams D
KillThePerv96: Yeah yeah bye
KillThePerv96: Has Left The Room
IAmJustToSexy: Has Left The Room
Kagome ran downstairs to the phone, pulled the little business card from her pocket and dialed the number as she waiting for someone to pick up.
"Hello?" Kagome automatically recognized the voice as Rin's.
"Hey Rin this is Kagome, I'll do it," Kagome answered confidently.
"That's wonderful! How soon will you be ready?" Rin asked as if she already expected Kagome to be waiting at the door.
"Uh well…how about tomorrow night?" Kagome asked.
"Alright that's fine we'll have someone come to your house and give you your plane tickets. May I have your address?" Rin asked. Kagome told her, her address.
"Oh and Rin? Would it be alright if you could arrange for Sango, my best friend, to go too? I really need her to go with me," Kagome asked crossing her fingers hoping she would say yes.
"I understand and yes we'll allow her to go and send her plane ticket to your home too. We are already in Tokyo currently be we'll be waiting for you at the airport when you land. See you soon Kagome," Rin said as she hung up the phone. Slowly Kagome placed the phone back down on the receiver thinking once again if this was the right thing to be doing. 'Should I be doing this? Eh, who cares I already made the deal I can't turn back now,' Kagome thought as she pushed back any doubts or worries she had on her mind.
::::::::::::::End Of Flashback::::::::::
Kagome'sPOV
So that's how I ended up here. I just hope that I made the right decision on doing this.
"Don't look so tense Kagome, remember Miroku and me are here with you too," she said encouragingly, with a warm smile.
I just smiled back and looked out the window at the beautiful fluffy cotton candy clouds, and the jigsaw puzzle arrangement of the ground far below us. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it would be I thought as I closed my eyes and was slowly overcome with a sleep.
That's the end for chapter 2
Good, Bad?
Yes, no, maybe so?
Review please!!
Preview for Chapter 3 – My Memory's Heartache:
"Come with us to the airport to pick up our newest model Inuyasha, I think you'll enjoy her," Sesshomaru said over his shoulder to Inuyasha who was currently laying on the couch hands behind his head, eyes closed, listening to his brother's request.
"A new model huh? Wonderful a new girl, I'm kinda getting sick of the models you already have here," Inuyasha said cockily standing up, while stretching.
"Is that so little brother? I think you'll find this one very interesting," Sesshomaru said while putting on his overcoat on his way out the door leaving mysteriousness to his voice.
Inuyasha didn't seem to catch the mystery in his voice, but merely shrugged with a lazy expression following his brother out the door, unknowing what was waiting for him at the airport.
