Breakaway II
Last Time: Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's childhood friend came back after disappearing and they're memories of her finally returned, but just a little too late, at least for Inuyasha. After asking for help from her mother and giving herself up to her mother to help Inuyasha she was sent back to America to be a celebrity.
Chapter 3: Hold Me
"You wanted to see me-"Kagome stopped in mid sentence and looked up and down the man standing in front of her. "Aki?" she asked staring at him. She hadn't seen him since she got off the plane. "What the hell are you doing here?!"
Aki smiled innocently, "It's good to see you too Kagome."
"Naraku…" Kagome growled as she glared at him.
"I see you aren't happy to see me, so I will get to the point. Aki here is from this moment forward your new bodyguard."
"Wha-!"
"Ah, ah let me finish." He cleared his throat and looked at her. "Right now your status is climbing higher; you're getting more popular and will be recognized more easily on the street. So now, you're going to need someone stronger and more helpful then Shippo here. Aki will be assigned to your team. I have instructed him to be by your side at all times, where he is never to leave."
"But-"
"I don't know what your history is with him, but you better get over it and deal with the fact that he's going to be around you constantly."
Kagome was going to argue, but she knew she had nothing to say. This was it, she had to do it. 'And I thought if I did what SHE wanted I would have more freedom, guess not.' She sighed and nodded, "Fine."
Naraku nodded in response, rising from his seat. He walked over to Kagome and graced his hand along her cheek and along her jaw line before he jerked her chin upwards, forcing her to look at him. He bent down putting his mouth to her ear, "You're so beautiful when you're angry." He whispered.
Kagome bit her lip trying to hold her tongue in. She couldn't say anything; he had more power than her, not to mention basic control of her. After all, she was just a girl.
Naraku chuckled deeply, as he looked into Kagome's eyes. "OH Kagome, don't be so angry at me." He let go of her and returned to his desk, sitting down in his large chair. "I'm doing this for your best interest." He smirked, "Now, How did your audition go?"
Kagome held her breath in trying to calm down. "They said they couldn't see me as playing the demon slayer, however they will still give me a call."
"So you didn't do well on the audition if they can't see you as the character you auditioned for."
"Yes but-"
"Unacceptable." Naraku grabbed the receiver of the phone. "Looks like I'm going to have to pull some strings."
"NO" Kagome shouted in defiance.
Naraku starred at her alarm, "Excuse me?"
"I-I mean" She paused for a second. "You see, I want to do this on my own ability, without cheating or using anyone else's help."
"But-"
"Please?" Kagome asked biting on her tongue trying to act somewhat nicely. "Just let me be judged on my own ability and my own skills."
Naraku paused staring at her, He finally nodded. "Very well."
Kagome bowed, "Thank you."
Naraku nodded, "That was all. You may go."
She nodded and turned and left with Shippo and Aki closely behind.

A week had passed since the Inuyasha gang had come to New York, but all they had accomplished was recording followed by more recording. What was more to their life now but hard work to get their dream? What they didn't realise was that events was about to put them into a real situation.
"Hey I was thinking." Sango began staring at a movie script given to her by Mike Smith. "Why don't we all try out for that movie? They're not looking for big paying stars and the script seems really interesting. I can see Inuyasha being the lead male character."
"What?" Both Inuyasha and Miroku shouted staring at their manager. This was their first break from recording and they were exhausted.
Miroku sat back in his seat. "Are you saying... you want Inuyasha go star as the main character?"
Sango nodded. "Besides he has the same name as the leading role, it was like this character was made for him!"
Sesshomaru looked up, "You're saying the leading male character's name is Inuyasha?"
Sango nodded.
"Weird..." Miroku commented. "However if we are going to try out for this movie then the leading role should be given to me. I'm a natural born actor, and I'm calm and cooperative. If the director gave Inuyasha a command he'll attack him."
"EXCUSE ME?!"
Sango sighed. "Settle down." She paused flipping through the script. "Actually, I think you'd do suit playing the Monk."
"A Monk?" Miroku repeated.
Sango nodded, "He's exactly like you to a point. He's a perverted and follows the main character quite often. I think there's a jealous brawl between Inuyasha and the Monk for a girl's affection."
"I like the sounds of that. So will you be trying out for the main role my dear Sango?"
Sango shook her head, "No I'm – "
"Hold up." Inuyasha interrupted, "You telling me this is a love movie?"
"Romance." Sango corrected. "And yes it is, but-"
"Hell no! I ain't doing some mushy gushy movie where I have to be all lovey dovey with some random chick!"
Miroku nodded, "Inuyasha isn't the mushy gushy type."
Sango sighed. "I know, neither is the main character."
"Then why the hell are you telling me that this is a romance movie?"
"It's mostly action." Sango began. "It's a story about a young girl traveling through a well and meeting this half demon named Inuyasha. She has a jewel inside her body you see and all these demons try to take it from her. The central plot is of these two people who travel across the world, meeting new people and gaining new friends along the way. So it's more of an adventure but I believe the writers want to develop some sort of relationship with Inuyasha and the human girl."
Inuyasha sat in his chair in silence. "Okay Maybe." He finally decided.
Miroku shrugged, "I'm up for it! It'll be fun!"
Sango nodded. "Okay I'll schedule an audition as late as possible that way Inuyasha will have time to think."
Miroku shrugged, "Don't bother, he's just chicken."
"What-did-you-call-me?" Inuyasha growled.
Miroku smirked, "Well you are, scared of kissing some girl; please! Grow up and be a man! Do the right thing!"
Sango choked a laugh.
"FINE!" Inuyasha screamed. "I'll do it!"
Miroku smirked, "Good on you, but personally, I think I can beat you out for the main role."
Inuyasha growled, "We'll see about that."
Sango clapped her hands together, "Well then, now that that's settled; I'll book an audition."
Miroku smiled. "This will be fun."
Inuyasha shrugged it off. At the moment he didn't want to think about the fact that he'll be auditioning for a stupid movie and that he would have to try because knowing Miroku, if he wouldn't get it he would never hear the end of it for as long as they lived. "In any case, we need to finish this album. Let's get practicing."
Miroku whined, "I'm tired, do we have to?"
Sesshomaru took his place and growled at Miroku.
He got his point across, "Alright okay I'm going." Miroku shuffled over to his spot.
Sango nodded, "Good going guys."

"Hello?" Kagome answered her cell phone as she lay sprawled on her bed.
"Miss. Higurashi?"
"Yes this is she."
"Good afternoon Miss. Higurashi. This is Sean Bing, the casting director from Creative Pictures Movie Company Inc."
"Oh, good afternoon sir."
"I'm calling in regards to your audition."
Kagome sat up on her bed waving Shippou over. He quickly sat next to her and leaned towards the phone to hear what he had to say.
"Unfortunately, you did not get the part of demon slayer."
Kagome's face saddened. She was actually interested in doing this movie.
Shippou patted her back, "its okay Kay." He whispered.
"However..." Sean began.
Kagome's face quickly brightened. "Yes?"
"We would like to offer you the lead role as the teenage human girl."
Kagome's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yes, if you would accept the role of course."
"YES!" Kagome screamed jumping on the bed. "Yes I'll do it! Thank you so much!"
"I'm glad to hear you are excited. I will e-mail your manager the schedule and the script. We haven't found all the characters yet, however we wish to have a casting meeting as soon as possible. I will inform you of the date as soon as I know."
Kagome squealed. "Yes, yes thank you very much."
"Anytime, I'll see you soon."
Kagome clicked her phone off and jumped into Shippou's arms. "Shippou I got the lead! I can't believe it!"
Shippou wrapped his arms around Kagome. "Congratulations Kay." He smiled. "I'm glad. This will be a good experience for you."
She nodded. "I'm really excited; this is going to be great. I got to get practicing right away. Quick check your e-mail! See if you got the script yet!"
"Okay okay I'm going."
As soon as Shippou got up, Kagome's phone rang again. She glanced at the caller ID and saw private number. Most people in this industry had private number. "Hello?" she answered.
"Congratulations Kagome." A sneer came from the other end of the phone.
Kagome snarled. "What do you want Naraku? Wait... how did you know? I told them to call me on my personal line first!" She glanced over at her closed door and knew who was on the other side. "Tell your little puppet to mind his own business and stop listening in to every conversation I have! I want privacy Naraku!"
"Obviously not if you're always with that Shippou."
"Shut up!"
"Watch your tone with me Miss. Higurashi."
"It's Ms. Anything else Naraku?"
"That's all... for now."
Kagome hung up quickly not wanted to hear another word from him.
&&&
"Let's go out!"
Sango look up at Miroku who just came into her room. It was huge; then again it did belong to the Takahashi brothers so it was expected. Each of them were able to get their own room, and if they wanted as far away as they would like, but Sango thought it was a good idea to stay somewhat near each other so it didn't take years to find everyone and get a meeting together or if one had to find the other. Only one person objected to that: Inuyasha. He said that he spent enough time with everyone and wanted to be as far away as possible when he wasn't working. It was obvious who he was talking about.
"No." She replied simply.
Miroku walked further into her room. "We've been here for a little more over a week and you still haven't unpacked?"
Sango, who was sitting on her bed with papers and books scattered around her, pushed herself off the crowded bed and walked up to Miroku. "We're busy Miroku" she scolded. "There's no time for you to go out and party and meet chicks for one night stands." She crossed her arms over her chest. "We have too much work to do making this album and the audition."
"You didn't answer my question about moving."
Sango rolled her eyes. "I just figured once the CD is done we'll be moving around a lot staying in hotels, so there's no point in unpacking."
Miroku nodded. "Alright. And I didn't want to go out to find a chick by the way!" He moved to her bed and sat down.
"Don't get too comfortable, you're not staying long."
"Come on Sango, we've been friends for a long time now. I let you live at my house, can we stop with the hating?"
Sango laughed. "Yeah right. You know I don't hate you Miroku." She paused, "I just find it fun to tease you - that's all. If I really hated you, you'd be dead by now."
Miroku laughed too. "Yeah you're probably right."
Sango sighed and sat next to him. "How's Inuyasha? Talked to him lately?"
Miroku shook his head. "He talks to me; we hung out a couple times outside of work. He's always in his room considering he doesn't trust New York and doesn't plan to step foot outside the house unless it's for work. But he won't come to my room considering it's next to his brother's."
"Has he REALLY talked to Sesshomaru at all? I mean in a group he sort of acknowledges him but never really talked to him directly. When we're together I think he makes it seem like everything's alright so we won't bug him, but really he's still really upset about what happened."
Miroku nodded, "Well when he figured out it was her, he already lost his chance to mend things."
Sango sighed; she still liked Kagome but what she did stayed in Sango's memory and truthfully never went away.
Miroku looked over at Sango and knew exactly what was on her mind. "You know..." he began. "Kagome's my cousin and was Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's childhood friend. I think Inuyasha really liked Kagome because she was so kind to him, even after knowing he's a demon. She treated him like an equal and that meant to world to Inuyasha. Even Sesshomaru, he started talked after knowing Kagome for so long. She meant the world to them and yet she had to leave, and she was killed, or at least from what we understood." He paused to take a breath. "I believed he was in love with her... actually, I still think he's in love with her. That's why it was so offensive to him, not only did his brother take away his love, but he took away his last chance to be with her. To him, he was given another chance, and it was gone within a night, before he even knew he had that chance it was taken. I think that's too hard to Inuyasha to say out loud to anyone, let alone himself. If I know him as well as I think I do, every time he's alone he's thinking about her and about what happened. That's what makes him cranky during the day."
Sango started at Miroku in amazement. "Wow, you really do know Inuyasha." She smiled, "Never thought you were a serious person Miroku."
"You know I am when it counts." He replied.
It was silent for a while but neither of them minded. It was almost soothing.
"What about you?" Miroku interrupted after a few minutes.
"What about me?"
"How are you taking everything? Don't point the finger all on Inuyasha, you've been hurt too."
Sango put her head down. "I try not to think about it."
"Bullshit." He waited for a reaction but nothing. "Sango I may not know you as well as I do Inuyasha, but I know you well enough to know that it's still on your mind."
Sango kept her head down. He was right, she always thought about it but she ignored it, until now. There was something about Miroku that made her let go. Tears began to prick at her eyes and soon fell.
"Sango?" Miroku questioned. He moved his arm towards her, preparing to wrap it around her. He then saw a tear drop onto her hand that was placed on her lap. He quickly withdrew his hand just before he touched her. He stared at her for a few minutes lost with what he should say or do. He sighed pushing himself off the bed and quietly leaving her room. 'She'd want to be alone.' He thought as he left.
Sango looked up with her tear streaked face at the place where Miroku was now being an empty spot. He turned and fell into her bed making an even bigger mess of her papers. She grabbed her pillow and poured herself and her tears onto it. It had been almost two months since Sesshomaru and she broke up, but it still hurt. "I loved you." She choked. Even she knew that is was not loved, but still love. She felt safe with him and although he never really spoke she understood him and she thought she was special to him. He chose her when he could have had any other girl. Obviously she wasn't as special as she had first thought. "Miroku..." she whispered tears continually streaming down her face. "I didn't want-you to-leave."
A/N: YAY! Finally done. And that was a long chapter! Almost 10 pages! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. MY editor pointed out I've been missing romance that what it needed and she was right! I was in a bit of a writer's block with how to end this chapter! I didn't want Kagome and Inuyasha meeting again just yet because I thought it'd be too fast. But we all know Kagome is NOT the ONLY one having some boy trouble. So when she reminded me of Sango and Miroku I knew I just had to do something! Not a lot, but the whole Miroku only talking and not really doing a lot, there's a reason to that which will be brought up later.
I would also like to apologize for the mix up at the beginning of that last chapter, with writing Kagome's name when she wasn't even there. Two people pointed that out. It was a typo, I did that in this chapter too but I caught it before I went on to the next sentence. Editing takes a long time and is a lot of work especially for my editor. We live in different time zones so it's hard to talk to each other and we're both at a very important time in our lives and everything's busy so it's hard to get editing done. So I don't like to wait for it to be edited before I post it otherwise we'd be only in Chapter 1 by now. So I apologize for any mistakes I don't read over my work because I really don't have time to do that being in University now. So I apologize for any future typos and mistakes. And I thank you for pointing them out to me! ^.^
Oh and I'm glad there were more reviews this chapter and that even MORE people stuck to this story! Thanks!
Next chapter should be good!!! =D
Review
Comments/Hall of Fans
Remember,
all reviews count. Even if it's just a small "great chapter"
I will still put a comment. All reviews are special to me, and every
signal one deserves to have a shout out and comment.
inu-girl162: That's for sticking with the story! Finally started Breakaway II for a while there I thought I was going to give up on it. Then I remembered I promised people I wouldn't just end it. I guess it was because I had no idea where I was going with this story. I never planned a sequel. Then when I got to University I worked so hard I wanted to do something creative so I started writing again and I just decided to go with the flow on Breakaway II not plan every single thing. That's how I wrote the first one. I had a few things planned and just went with it on the other chapters and it turned out okay. In any case, glad you're still enjoying it! Thanks for being the first reviewer!!! =D
Darkness living in Hope: Nope, Kagome can never get a break, and it's just coming back. Even after moving across the world! Still catches up with her! So I think I didn't take that long with this chapter! I know the feeling, when a sequel takes too long then you can remember the big things in the previous one, but never the little things. Yes Aki was in Breakaway one. He was the most popular kid in school who liked Kagome and took her out on a date and was friends with Sesshomaru and president of the student body. But then Kagome finds out it was all a lie and truthfully he was working for her mom. Well... more like working for Naraku. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks for the review! ^.^
MeiunTenshi: Aki's back again as always. Really does fall her everywhere huh? Even after moving half way around the world! Finally got a little bit of romance in, but nothing with Kagome, yeeeeet... May next chapter. Have NO idea what I'm gonna do for next chapter. Any ideas? I know the next big drama that's going to happen, but she needs to be with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru for a little bit before that happens. I guess I'll bring them in next chapter. Should be interesting site. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks for the review! ^.^
MuteMystery: No I don't have beta reader or whatever that is. All chapters are unedited when they are posed so most of my mistakes are typo. As for dividing scenes there's nothing really confusing about it. When you see a "&" means it's a different scene with difference people or a certain amount of time passed, if more than a day's passed I usually indicate it. Sorry if it's confusing but seems you are the only one who finds it confusing. Thanks for still reading and giving me support and you're opinion. Hope this chapter was a little better. Still unedited but I was more careful when writing. Thanks for the review!
tokiohotelluver2: Ohhh k, not the Cat I met randomly that one day. Just curious. I'm really glad to see how dedicated you are to my story. I really appreciate that and really glad you're enjoying it so far. I promise you it'll get more intense soon. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and thanks for reviewing again! ^.^
OniyuriGaaru: Still reading my stuff, after all these years, wow that's a long time to stick to me. You sure you're not sick of me? Lol. Good guessing on your part, as you can see, it looks like they will be bumping into each other. Thanks for another review! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
pixiepuff101: Took longer than chapter 2 to be updated, but shorten then how long I usually take. I didn't leave off with that much of a cliffy except the fact that very shortly the drama will get bigger and they WILL meet! Soon. Thanks for the review! ^.^ Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
DarkKatX: You're not the only one who has to re-read the first one. I know the feeling, a lot of my novels that I read, when the next book came out I remembered big things but a lot of the little things I forgot. I'm going to have to go back and look some stuff up. But finally it's up! And I thought I'd take over a year before I started it up again. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thanks for sticking with it and the review! ^.^
Inumel-mel: lol, I know the feeling, I need other things to do instead of facebook! Well Chapter 3 is finally up! Hopefully Chapter 4 won't take that long. If my English class continues to be boring, then I will be updating faster! Thanks for the review! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! ^.^
kandy123654: Your review was this: bhgnjhuj i love this shubkn story it's nhhjg so good hygh this is bvfhjkflofn coded nbkjfbjrhkbj figure it fbjkfdfjkgnbjkg out out out. I totally did not understand it at all.. Does that mean you're excited? Lol ^.^ Thanks for the review anyways!
Snowdog367: Thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying it! Hope to hear from you again! Thanks for the review! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! ^.^
whitehitsugaya: I knew about the Kagome thing, it was a typo my bad! I'm usually writing during my English lecture so only half my brains in the story and I made a couple of mistakes. Didn't know about repeating lines. Thanks for informing me. All my chapters go up unedited, so that's why it's like that. If I waited for it to be edited, it'd never go up. Sorry about the mistakes. You know me I make a lot! Thanks for still reading it and reviewing and of course for telling me my mistakes! Thanks! Hope this chapter was at least a little better. I tried to be a little more conscious. Though I can't promise anything! Thanks again!
Koneko's Tears: Wow! I liked you're review! Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying Breakaway so much! It's getting better I promise! I hope this chapter was good! Thanks so much for the review! Hope to hear from you again! ^.^
demon prince-sesshoumaru: Thanks! I'm glad to know you're enjoying it! Hope this chapter was good! Thanks for the review!
Akuma Youkai: I really enjoyed reading you're review! Haha, yep all hell will be breaking loose soon! Unfortunately not in this chapter. But I'm pretty sure next one. I was going to do it in this chapter, but then I thought the story may be moving too fast and I wanted a little bit of suspense as everyone waits for when they meet again! Glad you're enjoying the story so far! More to come! Thanks for the review! ^.^
Fionna: 15 hours... that's a lot of hours. Thanks a lot, for saying I'm awesome. I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the story. As for the question you asked. This is what I'm going to tell you... you're really good at reading me even though we never met! I actually was planning on that! Nice guessing! But that won't be evident until later on but that was why I was stressing on how much time has passed. It will be coming up soon though. Bwahahahaha! I can't WAIT for that cause I'm going to be doing something with that! Though now that I think about it, a demon baby? Wouldn't it progress further? I'll have to figure something out. Well that'll be interesting! Nice job! Lol Thanks for the review! Hope to hear from you again! ^.^
Taisho Hana: Thanks for telling me that! Someone else pointed it out but I couldn't find it. Thanks for giving me the actual sentence it was in and everything. That was a total typo. I was writing that during English class and half my brain was listening and the other half was writing so I did a few typos. And it takes even LONGER if I go and get it edited. Chapter 2 isn't fully edited yet so I post it when it's not edited. Thanks for pointed that out though! Thanks for the review and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
