Summary: Kagome was that cute nerdy girl in high school with a hidden talent. InuYasha was that rude popular boy that was just way better at writing things rather than saying them.

Chapter 2:

It's been about 3 years since she moved here to L.A and she had made many friends, one of which got her back into her singing. It started when her friends had recorded her singing and put it up on the internet. They were just goofing off in their dorms, and Kagome had not noticed that one of her friends took out a camera to record her singing. Next thing she knew she was in meetings with producers and signing contracts for a record deal and spending all her free time in the studio. That's where she was now, at the studio singing some songs she had written.

I know I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief as the music ended and took her headphones off. Stepping back away from the mic she smiled up at her producer. He gave her a thumb up and signaled her to come out of the booth. Kagome stretched and walked out to hear the play back. She couldn't wait till her friends back in Japan heard this song. They were the only ones who knew about her secret.

When she started up her singing, she changed her name so no one would know that she was singing. Even more, so when she went home at holidays, no one at home could use her. It was a safety net. So when she entered the music world she decided to go by the name of Kyoko, which means mirror. It was her own attempt at being ironic since everyone always commented on how much she is a mirror image of the music star.

She woke up one day to Rin calling her. Rin called every week to update Kagome on the group and the hottest trends of Japan. She was always the stylish one. This week Rin was raving about the newest hot singer, Kyoko. As soon as the name came out of Rin's mouth, Kagome choked on her water. From there Rin got increasingly suspicious. Never being one to hide anything from her friends, Kagome admitted to being Kyoko but made Rin swear to not tell anyone. Rin not being able to hold a secret told the group and Kagome's family. That whole day Kagome's phone went off from friends and family asking why she didn't tell anyone. Kagome was glad the weight of the secret was off her chest but she was still a little upset with Rin for opening her mouth.

Coming back to the present, Kagome said her approval to the song and said her goodbyes. It would be a couple months before she would be back to the campus. It was summer vacation and she was spending her time home in Japan. Walking back to her dorm, Kagome picked up her luggage and met her producer in the parking lot to say goodbye before heading to the airport. Sadly her producer will be following her about 2 weeks later to do more work. Ten hours later and Kagome was getting off the plane and into the arms of her mother and brother.

"Oh Kagome, I've missed you so much!" Kagome's mother, Mika, said as she hugged her daughter. Kagome reached over and ruffled Souta's hair. She missed these two so much. She was home for Christmas but the time from then to now have seemed to drag on for far too long.

"I've missed you both as well Mom. Let's get home, I'm exhausted." Kagome said smiling wide. They stopped and picked up her luggage and headed home. Once home, Kagome noticed her grandfather waiting for them up by the shrine. With a smile, Kagome waved at her grandfather. 'He looks like he's doing so well. I hope he isn't overdoing himself.' She thought to herself as her mother parked the car.

"Kagome! You're home!" Grandpa said as he walked up and hugged Kagome. Hugging back Kagome smiled. "Grandpa you look like you are doing well. You aren't overdoing yourself are you?" Kagome asked suspiciously. Laughing Grandpa completely ignored her question and went to get her bags. Chuckling to herself Kagome shook her head and helped take her bags to her room.

After dinner, Kagome went straight to bed with promises to spend more time with the family tomorrow. After taking a shower, Kagome laid down on her bed in her white shorts and black muscle shirt. Sighing in relief to be home, she took out her laptop to check her emails and to let everyone at college know she made it safely. Reading through she noticed her producer had sent her an email right after she had boarded the plane. Reading it, her eyebrows furrowed in irritation at the fact he had set up a song writing contest in her hometown. He wanted her input on the details.

"Just lovely, another contest. Granted some of these songs the contestants enter are really good, but I would rather just to have a break and spend time with my family and friends," Kagome grumbled to herself. She replied back that the contest sounded fine to her but the winner should be allowed to stand in for a session of recording the song along with the already offered free ticket to her next concert in a month. She sent her reply and the producer sent her a response in no time agreeing to her deal. She shut down her laptop and plugged in her cell phone. Stretching, Kagome yawned and laid down in bed as her cat Buyo jumped up to cuddle next to her.
