I opened my eyes to yet another morning of being alone. A week ago my parents had died in a car accident. They were set to go out on vacation and on the way to the airport, they were hit by a drive the was on their cell phone. It has been hard for me since then. I don't know what to do with myself. I've tried being happy and staying positive but it hasn't been easy.

It really hasn't been easy, especially since yesterday there was a knock on the door and I received a letter. My parents had kept a secret from me. My Otou-san was in debt for a lot of money. My parents always pretended that we were financially stable but when the bill was delivered to me, my heart almost stopped. It was more money than I could ever hope to make. It was a large sum… all in hospital bills. it turns out Otou-san was very very ill and he and Okaa-san hid it from me. We didn't have any insurance so the bills just kept piling up. I don't know how I am going to pay for it.

I stopped going to school after my parents died. It is too hard for me right now. I cannot continue with school as well as find a full time job to pay for this house. This house… another thing I can't afford. My parents paid it off for the month but there is only two weeks left until rent is due and I cannot afford it. I will have to leave this place by then. I don't have any other family, my grandparents all died when I was young and I am an only child.

Today I packed up my room. I don't know where I am going to move the boxes, but I'm happy that is the only thing I really have to worry about. I still have my cell phone at least. I have received a great deal of condolence messages from classmates. All of the read about the same 'Sorry for your loss,' 'I hope you are doing well,' 'Keep your head up.' But no one came to visit me. I needed someone but didn't have anyone.

That was until I got a surprising message. It had woken me up today. It was from my parent's long time friend who had often babysat me as a child. His name was Taisho-san. I often played with his children when I was young but they moved away. Since then I have seen them on TV. Taisho-san started a super successful company, SingUnLIMITED Company. It was a music company with two very successful groups, KOBUSHII, a trio band that your two childhood friends are part of and there is also GyaruCODE. An idol group that you enjoyed listening to every once in a while. He asked to meet me at a local coffee shop around noon. I agreed.

I took a nice hot shower. Since I had been so depressed the past week I've neglected taking care of my body, even showering. It was the first time I felt nice in a week and I really enjoyed it. After I got cleaned up and brushed my teeth I dried my hair and let the onyx strands hang loose. My hair reached down past my bosom since it was a little wavy it could be hard to take care of at times.

Even though I had washed up, there were still heavy bags under my chocolate colored eyes. I pulled out my make up and covered up what I could, my face still looked puffy from crying, but at least the darkness under my eyes was covered. I looked more natural and rosey than the previous pale and sickly. I pulled on some black skinny jeans and a simple T-shirt. It was fall outside and it had been raining almost non-stop for a month so I made sure to put on a beanie to keep my head warm and my pink rainboots. On the way out the door I grabbed my hoodie and umbrella.

Like the days before it was raining. The thick clouds that covered the sky were a deep gray and rain soaked the streets as I walked down from my small, empty house a few blocks away to the coffee shop. When I got there it was busy with couples enjoying coffee, tea, and cakes together.

It must be nice to be part of a couple. I have never had a boyfriend, sure I have had crushes, but nothing was ever made serious. I scanned the tabled and found a familiar face. Even though I hadn't seen Taisho-san in almost ten year, I still recognized him. His hair was white, it always had been and like ten years ago he still wore it up in a high ponytail. Even with it pulled back it reached down to his waist.

"Kagome-chan!" His deep voice was friendly. he stood up and hugged me. It felt good to be around someone since I've been alone for the past week. He let go of me and pulled out my chair. I sat down and thanked him. "I hope you don't mind, I already ordered you a coffee." He gestured to the cup of coffee in front of me. I smiled.

"Thank you for the coffee, Taisho-san." He returned my smiled.

"I asked you here today because I just heard the news this morning." the tone of his voice changed to sad, so did his expression. "I wish I would have known sooner. I was always close with them. I would have liked to be there for you as well." You nodded at him.

"I'm doing okay for now." You caught his gaze, he still looked sad.

"Kagome-chan… we both know that's not true." he said and took a sip of his coffee. He was right. I am a seventeen year old orphan who is about to become homeless. I'm not okay.

"That's why I called you here." he admitted and I looked at him with a curious gaze. "I owe so much to your parents. They helped me get to where I am today. I want to you move to Tokyo with me, I will take care of you." I couldn't believe it… Taisho-san was offering to help me? It was a huge relief!

"Taisho-san…" I couldn't get the words to come out right.

"I know it is hard for you right now, but I want to help. I owe it to your parents. I can't let you go through all of this alone." He took another sip of his coffee. "Will you move to Tokyo with me?"

It didn't take long for me to make my decision. Of course I would. I had nothing left here in Sendai anyways. I have never traveled to Tokyo either, it is somewhere I've always wanted to go.

"If you want to come with me to Tokyo, you can take the Bullet Train this afternoon. You will be in Tokyo in time for dinner." He continued. I must have been lost in thought for a moment, he looked anxious.

"Thank you, Taisho-san. I would love to go to Tokyo with you." You smiled.

"That is a relief! I already bought you a ticket for the bullet train." He smiled at you. "I have some work I need to get back to, so you will have to travel by yourself." He finished off his coffee. "I figured you needed time to pack up your belongings, just the important things for now, I can have a moving company take care of the rest next week." I couldn't stop smiling. The past week had been so dark for me. Taisho-san was like a breath of fresh air or a ray of sunshine that had broken through the dense, rainy clouds that had become my world. I felt good.

"That sounds wonderful." My face was hurting from how much I was smiling.

"Great." he said and stood up. "I'll see you at dinner then." He handed me a piece of paper. "Here are the directions to get to your new home now Kagome. It's only about five blocks from the trainstation." He gave me one more hug and said goodbye. I rushed home and packed a suitcase full of clothes, my toothbrush, and various small things I thought I would need right away.

I also packed my family photo with Otou-san and Okaa-san hugging me. We had gone to an aquarium that day. It was a fond memory of mine. After some time passed I said goodbye to my childhood home with a suitcase in hand. I went to the bullet train and boarded. In only an hour and a half my new life was going to start.


When I arrived it was just starting to get dark. I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. I kept checking the address to make sure I was at the right place. It was huge… a huge mansion that sat in front of me. It was four stories high and looked too big to be true on the outside. The mansion was made out of stone and the property was covered by a large metal gate. I pressed the red button on the intercom.

"Yes?" A voice rang back to me after I pushed it.

"Hi…" I didn't know what to say.

"How may I help you?" The voice asked again.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi… Taisho-san asked me to come here." There was a pause on the intercom.

"Of course, Higurashi-san! Come right in." The gate buzzed and unlocked and I turned the handle and let myself in. As I approached the large wooden door to the mansion a young man answered the door.

"Hello, my name is Kouga, I'm the butler here, please come in. Everyone is expecting you." He hard dark brown eyes and thick black hair that was pulled into a ponytail. He was wearing a black suit and looked very professional. "If you need anything don't hesitate to let me know." He finished and lead me to a big dining room. "Everyone will be down shortly. I will take your bag to your room."

He grabbed my bag and left me alone in the dining room. There was a huge table with chairs all around it. The table sat twelve people. How many people lived here exactly? I couldn't help but be in shock. At home we only sat around a small kotatsu for our meals, I've never seen a table like this before.

I heard the door open behind me and turned around. I was stunned. In walked the members of KOBUSHII, the very popular trio band that worked with Taisho-san's company. I already knew two of the members, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, we were childhood friends, but neither of them seemed to excited to see me.

"Hisashiburi." I said timidly and bowed, Sesshoumaru only nodded in return and Inuyasha gave me a kurt, 'Higurashi' with the nod of his only one that greeted me enthusiastically was the face of the band, Miroku. He always seemed so playful and happy on TV but in person he was very different. I found him intimidating.

Miroku had black hair, almost the same shade as mine that was pulled into a low ponytail, he was babyfaced but looked like a real hunk, how he was always advertised within KOBUSHII.

"Well, well what do we have here." He started and walked up to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I was too starstruck to push him off of me.

"What is your name pretty lady? And what are you doing here?" I glanced around the room and Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru hadn't paid much attention to what was happening. Miroku grabbed my face and made me look at him. His eyes were a deep purple and I almost got lost in them. He was so close to my face, I couldn't help but blush.

"I'm Kagome… Higurashi." My voice was shaking but I couldn't help it. To have such a handsome boy so close to my face and he was a famous singer after all.

"Leave her alone, pervert." Inuyasha's voice was deep now, not at all like when we were kids and played together.

"Don't let his tricks get to you." Sesshoumaru's voice was even deeper. Miroku pulled away from me and let out a sigh.

"you guys are no fun." he whined and sat down. "You should sit next to me Kagome." He tapped the chair next to him and I did as he said. I looked at and studied Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. They are so grown up now.

They both grew their hair our long, just like their fathers, and just like Taisho-san, they had white hair. Inuyasha was still baby faced but Sesshoumaru had a more mature and masculine look to him.

Just as I sat down Taisho-san walked in and greeted me again. "Welcome to your new home, Kagome-chan." He said we a big smile. AS he sat down, Kouga arrive in the room with a kart with plates of food and a pitcher of water. He placed food in front of each of us and pour each of us a glass of water. Dinner was a nice cut of steak with vegetables. I hadn't eaten very much in the past week so a nice heavy meal like this was perfect.

"I know you must have some questions but let me give an introduction to your new home first." Taisho-san spoke as he ate. "As you know I am the owner of SingUnLIMITED Company. I own this mansion and you are the newest addition to the family. With you, the members of KOBUSHII and GyaruCODE also live here. Your room is on the third floor along with Sesshoumaru's, Inuyasha's and Miroku's room. Each room is very nice." He swallowed and continued talking. "It's like a one bedroom apartment in each room, with a kitchenette and a toilet, but no shower, you have to share with the floor." I nodded as I listened there was a lot of information.

"If you need anything please feel free to ask Kouga. He goes to the store every day so just ask him to buy whatever you'd like." I smiled, that made me very happy. "You are in room 303, and here is your key." He handed me a small silver key. "Now, do you have any questions?"

I did. I didn't know how to ask so I just blurted the words out, "May I work for you please?" Everyone almost choked on their food.

"What do you mean?" Taisho-san was curious and the other stared at me in disbelief.

"The truth is…Otou-san was very sick, I didn't know until yesterday. When he died he left behind a huge debt in hospital bills and I have no way of paying for it… I need to earn enough money to pay off his debt." I was honest with what I wanted. Inuyasha let out a scoff, and Miroku giggled.

"Otou-san, surely you aren't going to consider her? Are you? I mean… look at her." Sesshoumaru commented, ouch, that stung a bit.

Taisho-san stared at me for a moment and raised an eyebrow. "I have been looking for a new talent and I owe it to your parents to make you happy. It is not an easy job, but I think you might have what it takes. I've wanted a solo singer in my company but have not had the energy to find one and all the ones that have auditioned have not been good enough." I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm not very experienced but I can work very hard!" I bowed my head again to him.

"Fine. I'll set up a single release for you. If it sells more than a seventy-thousand copies the first week, I'll keep you as an artist. If it does not sell that much, then I won't." That was a lot but those were very conservative numbers for groups under SingUnLIMITED but I have happy to have a chance.

"I'll do my best!" I smiled and giggled happily.

"Alright." Taisho-san finished. "I will work up a contract and you can sign it as soon as it is finished." I couldn't be happier. It was hard to believe that I had an opportunity to make all the money I needed to. My new life was quite different from my past life, but I was excited for the future.


After dinner I walked by myself up to my new room, room 303 on the third floor. I unlocked the door and found my bag in the doorway. I picked it up and looked around the apartment. To the left of the front door was a small kitchenette with a fridge, stove, and a few cabinets, to the right was a small room with a toilet and sink. I would have to look around to find the shower room on our floor. I stepped in further and looked around. There was a high table in the kitchen area with two chairs and a three-seat sofa in the living room in front of the largest TV I had ever seen. there was a door off to the left. I opened it and inside was a large bedroom with a huge walk-in closet. There was a king-sized bed set in the center of the room, already made up with fluffy white sheets and a huge comforter. I sat down on the bed, it was so soft. I unzipped my bag and pulled out my family photo.

I really missed Otou-san and Okaa-san, but I have to work hard at my new life. That night I slept with their picture next to me.
