Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous 9
While everyone else was out of the mansion, Kagome was in her room doing absoluetly nothing. Nothing except for thinking about the one she loved. The raven haired girl sighed again and rolled over in her temporary bed. Why was life so hard on her?
"Why cant I believe him? I want to so much but I just cant! Mom always told me not to live in the past, live in the future, and what am I doing now? Argh! I need some fresh air!" Kagome said pulling on her bangs. All those thoughts were giving her a big headache.
Well, it was her fault that she lived under the roof of her ex. Well actually, she didn't want to at first...
Flashback...
"WHAT! YOU MEAN WE HAVE NO PLACE TO GO?" Kagome yelled at her three friends in the cafeteria that she was in. Her band, The Slayers, were just offered a record deal by one of the most famous record dealers and business man in the world, Sesshoumaru Takahashi. Not to mention he was Rin's long term boyfriend.
"That's exactly what I mean. I'm sorry Kags, but I dont have anywhere to go. I haven't payed rent for months. They finally kicked me out today." Sango, one of her friends, sighed sadly, all of them having to pat her back in sympathy.
"Dont worry Sango, I just got fired from my job and I dont have any money to pay this month's rent." Kirara said, rubbing Sango's back while sniffing back fake tears.
"You're not the only ones with money problems. I still owe a ton of money for college and rent that not even my lousy job could pay for it."
"But Rin, you're dating a billionaire."
"That dosen't mean anything."
"So all in all, you're asking me to beg my mom so that she could lend us money, which I cant do because I owe her so much that its not even funny. We're toast you guys." The girls sighed again along with Kagome and slumped in their chairs. A few tables away from them, however, a band of five guys over heard their conversation and felt pity for them.
"Hey, you girls could come live at our place." The four girls perked and looked towards the legendary band Demons Within a few tables away from them. The Demons Within group used to be the best of friends with The Slayers. However, after high school they all went their seperate ways and haven't seen eachother since then.
"Oh my god! Its you guys!"
"Long time no see!" The drummer of the Demons Within, Shippo Daisuke, also shouted and ran up to hug his high school sweet heart, Kirara.
The other girls also awknolwdged the presence of their used to be best friends except for two members. They were the two lead singers of the bands, Kagome and Inuyasha. The two weren't even talking to each other for some reason, let alone look at eachother.
The others shook their heads at the two and decided to exclude them in any of their decisions since they didn't seem to be paying attention to anything.
"Well, you girls could stay at our place. The mansion we just moved into has enough rooms to house an entire army!" The girls' eyes bulged and they were interested. That sounded better than their apartments which couldn't even hold a poor mouse. Or was that because of Kirara?
"That seems like a good deal! But...I call for a huddle!" Rin said and Kirara and Sango followed her to the other side of the cafeteria, forming a circle or a huddle.
"Kagome that means you too." The said girl ohed and followed the other girls into the huddle.
"So, what do you think? Accept or Decline?" Rin asked in a hushed whisper so that the other guys wouldn't hear her.
"I say we accept. This is a once in a lifetime chance. We have no where to stay and this is way more than what we're asking for." Sango agreed to the fact that they should stay.
"Yeah and we've known those guys since we were in kindergarten so we know that they wouldn't try anything." Kirara added. But Sango knew otherwise since that would mean living with the hugest pervert Miroku.
"And we wouldn't have to pay rent!" Rin exclaimed in a happy whisper.
"I dont know you guys..."
"Oh come on Kagome! Is it because of you, Yash, and that what's her munchichee? Dont worry about it, that was like three years ago!" Kirara whispered, feeling a little more than exasperated at the fact that the two still didn't get over the whole thingy majig. Kagome still looked a little undecided.
"Kagome, if we move in with those guys all our problems will be solved. We'll have money to spare and we wont have to be living with hobos that will most likely rape us. Besides, you and Yash will become friends again if you two just talk to each other. No biggie!" Rin tried to comfort Kagome.
The raven haired girl sighed and nodded, the other girls whooping and rushing to the other guys who were waiting for their answer, somewhat impatiently.
"We Accept!"
End Flashback...
Kagome growled at herself and decided that she couldn't be locked up anymore. So she concluded on going out for the night for some air. No harm in that right?
-XxX-
Kagome changed into a dark pink sweater, dark blue jeans, and dark pink nikes. She brushed her hair, grabbed a jacket from her closet, and bounded out of her room and towards the elevator.
When she arrived at the main floor, Kagome saw that Inuyasha was going out as well. He looked pretty hot in what he was wearing which was a red button up shirt with a black leather jacket over it, black jeans, and his new black and red lugz. His hair was tied into a neat high ponytail but Kagome noticed that he still looked like his depressed self when he turned around to actually awknowledge her being.
"So you're going out too?" Again Inuyasha didn't reply, but this time he actually looked at her when she talked to him. But the silence and his intense stare was killing her!
"Come on Inuyasha! Say something!"
"Im sorry, but I dont want you to think that what comes out of my mouth is a lie." Inuyasha retorted indifferently. Kagome was about to say something but closed her mouth again. He had the right to think like that, it was her fault she didn't believe in him in the first place.
"Fine. Im not saying that you're wrong for thinking that way, but atleast say something to me! I hate it when you ignore me!" Inuyasha shot a glare at her before turning around as to not face her.
"What about when you ignore what I have to say, eh? You didn't even give a damn about my side of the story." Kagome covered her eyes with her bangs. He was right again, she did ignore him the other day. She didn't give a damn about what he had to say.
Inuyasha sighed and covered his own eyes with his bangs. This was going no where. They were only getting themselves deeper into a point of no return. How he wanted to stop walking in that void, but something kept him going. Was it the fact that he didn't want anymore pain in his life? All his suffering, all the torment...but he couldn't be selfish. There were others who felt the same as he. Maybe Kagome felt the way he did.
"-sigh- Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked walking towards the door. Kagome looked up at him, hope filling her eyes. He was finally talking to her on his own free will!
"I dont know, I was going to take a walk I guess. I needed some fresh air. What about you?"
"No one's in the mansion so I decided to go do something with my time." Inuyasha replied. He still wasn't himself, Kagome noted, but it was a start.
"So lets go do something together... I know what we could do! We could go downtown!" Kagome suggested. Inuyasha shrugged, not really caring if they went somewhere together or not. All he wanted to do was to get out of the mansion and free himself of worries.
Kagome took his shrug as a yes and followed him to the parking lot. In the parking lot, Inuyasha picked the car he was going to use, which was a dark silver lamborghini Murcièlago LP640. He got into the driver's seat and Kagome got into the passenger seat. Turning on the car, Inuyasha sped out of the parking lot.
In about 20 minutes, the former couple arrived downtown. Inuyasha parked the car anywhere so that they could walk around and see where they were going to go. Soon the two ended up infront a a night club.
"Wanna go in? We're not dressed that well for it but we're famous, who'll care?" Inuyasha shrugged and went in leaving Kagome a little annoyed outside.
"I guess that's a yes." The raven haired girl grumbled and followed the silver haired man into the club.
It was pretty sober inside, there was a dance floor with a few people dancing to the music and many tables with people chatting and laughing. Like Kagome predicted, they were the only ones dressed casually since the other people were wearing more formal clothing. The lights were dark enough for people to have fun dancing but light enough for people to see what the heck they were doing.
Inuyasha and Kagome went up to the line to get seated. They were then brought to the best table in the club, which was infront of a stage, since they were celebrities.
"Thanks!" Kagome smiled at the waitress who only grinned and quickly walked away.
Typical.
"Hmm, it's Karayoke night, wanna sing something later?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked indifferent and didn't reply otherwise. Kagome sighed and started to play with her bangs. Atleast he invited her to come with him...well...semi invited...
For the next half hour or so, the two had passed their stay miserably. They didn't talk, they didn't look at eachother, they hardly even ate the food. Inuyasha didn't even eat at all. And Kagome was fed up with everything.
"Heaven sakes, Inuyasha! What is wrong with you! We've been through this before and even then you didn't take it so hard! Why cant we just be friends like we were before this whole mess started! I...I dont know what to think anymore!" Kagome semi yelled. She didn't yell so hard so that other people wouldn't get suspicsious or so that if any papperatzi were watching, they wouldn't get the wrong idea.
Inuyasha's eyes hardened at her words. There was a fork in his hand since he had been playing with his food and Kagome thought that it would break at how hard Inuyasha was squeezing it. Why was he so angry? It wasn't the first time they broke up.
"What if I dont want to be friends Kagome? I promised myself that I would keep you by my side no matter what. But even in that I failed."
"You didn't fail! I failed because I couldn't trust you! You did nothing wrong!"
"If I cant get you to trust me, than Im giving up. Im giving up on you, Im giving up on this world, Im giving up on everything. I shouldn't be selfish, I know that, but I cant take this anymore!" Inuyasha semi yelled the last part.
He hid his eyes from the raven haired girl infront of him in his bangs, so Kagome couldn't really tell what he was feeling. Despair? Anger? Sadness? She didn't know, Inuyasha could hide his feelings very well, just like his brother. Even by his tone of voice she couldn't tell what he was really feeling. It was just an act to cover up his heart.
"Inuyasha...I...argh! Stop being so difficult! You're making me feel like I'm the bad guy and your the one in distress! I feel the same way...but I just need to think this through! I've denied this problem for way too long, we need to solve it! Its not that I dont trust you now Inuyasha...its just that...I dont know!"
"That's it! You dont know what you want! You never did! You never knew what to feel or how to act!"
"That's a lie and you know it!"
Inuyasha only growled and slammed his fist on the table. "No, I dont know it. Tell me, Kagome. How do you feel towards me."
"I love you for gods sake!"
"IF YOU LOVE ME THEN YOU'D TRUST ME!"
"LOVE AND TRUST ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!"
"NO THEY'RE NOT! You cant supposedly love someone and not trust them! It just doesn't happen!"
"You know nothing about love! You play with my feelings, I bet you did the same with Kikyou! You made me believe that you were an innocent little puppy! BUT YOU LIED TO ME!" Inuyasha's eyes widened at that and he gritted his teeth together. Kagome knew she was stepping on dangerous ground talking about Kikyou and all, but she had to let it off her chest.
"How could you say that to me? To me! -Oh Inuyasha you're just a player that doesn't have feelings! Let me just get a good fuck and step all over you because I cant believe in myself!- Well guess what Kagome! I dont want to play games anymore! I want to know how you feel once and for all! It's either now or never." Inuyasha said vehemously, trying to calm down the sudden rage in him.
"ARGH! I'm not playing games Inuyasha! And how many times do I have to tell you how I feel!"
Inuyasha growled and sighed. "You're just like her ya know. I thought that you'd be different since I knew you since grade school, but I guess I was wrong."
It took all that Kagome had in her to not take the knife on the table and try to stab a certain hanyou in disguise in front of her. She was nothing like Kikyou! She was different! Just that she wasn't showing it well!
"Do you know why Kikyou and I broke up?" He looked up for a moment to see Kagome think thoughtfully and shake her head in a silent no.
"Then you have no right to demand to be friends with me and forget that we even dated at all! You dont know why I cant take this anymore and why I feel the way I feel right now!"
Kagome was stunned speechless and decided that this arguement was going no where. He was right this time, so she'll let him talk.
Inuyasha took a deep breath when he noticed that Kagome wasn't going to argue back this time. He looked around to see that some people were staring at them because of all the noise they were making. But no one dared to say anything because of his and the raven haired girl's status. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at that and looked back at Kagome.
"I cant be friends with you because I have a special kind of comittment to you...forget it, you wont understand anyways."
Kagome was going to protest but he cut her off.
"-sigh- I dont want to let you go Kagome, but I need to know. What does your heart tell you to do? Dont follow what your mind tells you. Dont follow what you saw that day. Dont care about how I'll feel. Only follow your heart. Just a few words Kagome. Either we're something, or we're nothing."
He was putting all this weight on her shoulders and she couldn't hold it for much longer. She didn't know what to do. Use his advice and follow her heart? But what was her heart telling her?
What should I do? I love him but...Think with my heart, not my mind...
Kagome was desprate, and couldn't concentrate on her heart. Her mind was like the devil, trying to tempt her away from her love and her heart was the angel, trying to take her to her love. But her heart was too far away from her hands. Her mind was tempting her...
"I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back." Kagome finally whispered after some time. She then bounded off towards the restroom, not seeing how the hanyou's shoulders slumped.
"I want the truth..." Inuyasha whispered to himself and sighed heavily.
He had an idea...
-XxX-
After 5 minutes, Kagome finally came out of the restroom and went to the table to see that Inuyasha was no where to be found. She looked around but there was still no sign of her silver haired hanyou.
"Where could he be? He didn't leave because his jacket's still here. Then where-"
Kagome was cut off when a male announcer came up to the stage infront of her. He had light brown hair and light brown eyes and had a deep voice that contrasted with his looks.
"Could everyone please take a seat!" Everyone that was either dancing, chatting with another table, or just walking around the club quickly sat down and waited for the announcer to continue.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to La Noche night club! I hope you all know that tonight is Karayoke night! We'll be accpeting anyone who wants to sing for us right now for the next hour. You dont have to know the lyrics to the song to sing it, we have a Karayoke machine that'll give it to you. But if we dont have the song you'd like to sing, tell me and I'll have the musicians play it for you! Enjoy Karayoke night folks!" the announcer said and everyone cheered.
Some of the customers quickly stood up and got on line to sing a song. But Kagome didn't feel like singing. Not when there was a heavy weight on her mind.
Many people went up to sing, and they sang horribly at that. Only a select few would make it to American idol. The rest...they needed to sing for a dumpster. They sang retarded songs as well, and one of them couldn't even sing because he was laughing so hard. All in all, Kagome was having a good time. But she couldn't stop comparing every male's voice to Inuyasha's. Everything went back to Inuyasha.
"-sigh- I have made my decsion...I sure hope I made the right one..." Kagome sighed.
After another person's failed attempt at singing, the announcer came back on the mic, looking very excited and a little nervous.
"Ladies and Gentlemen please settle down! It seems that we have a special guest in the club tonight! Give it up for the Demons Within's Inuyasha!"
At that name, all the females stood up and cheered like mad women for the young singer and guitarist. Even Kagome stood up, but it was in shock. So that's where he's been all along!
And there he was. He came up to the mic, a pianist behind him and a drummer as well. He gave all the women one of his sexy grins, but this time it was forced, and Kagome could tell.
"Im going to sing a special song for a person I know, The Truth." the hanyou said. He gave the pianist behind him the signal to start and the pianist obliged.
Inuyasha:
So here we are,
All the women cheered again but soon silenced when he was about to start again.
We are alone,
There's weight on your mind,
And I want to know,
The truth, if this is how you feel ,
Say it to me ,
If this was ever real.
All the while, Inuyasha was looking directly at Kagome. No one else noticed excpet for the raven haired girl. He was singing this song...because he wanted the truth from her...
I want the truth from you,
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me.
I want the the truth from you,
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me,
I want the truth.
More cheering and some people taking pictures, and Kagome sat back down on her chair. But she didn't take her eyes off of him. And he didn't take his eyes off of her.
So this is you,
You're talking to me,
You found a million ways to let me down,
So Im not hurt when you're not around,
I was blind.
Inuyasha closed his eyes for that part and reopened them when he sang but now I see.
But now I see,
This is how you feel.
Just say it to me,
If this was ever real.
A lot of cheering, and maybe some women fainted at his voice, and Kagome was starting to doubt her decsion. No, she couldn't. She had to tell him the truth.
I want the truth from you,
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me.
I want the the truth from you,
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
When he sang the next part, his eyes were so sad...an open book for her to read. He didn't want for his pain to hold her back...but...
I know that this will break me,
I know that this might make me cry,
Gotta say what's on your mind,
On your mind.
I know that this will hurt me,
And break my heart and soul inside,
I dont wanna live this lie.
He was making hand gestures as to pleading with her to tell him whats on her mind. And she'll tell him alright...but he wont like it...
I want the truth from you,
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me.
I want the truth from you,
Give me the truth, even if it hurts,
He was on his knees, singing what he felt and pleading with her. It tore Kagome's heart. The lyrics, how he bared his soul into the song. It was all depressing. But the other people didn't think so. They thought it was really good.
I dont care no more, no,
Just give me the truth, give me the truth,
Cause I dont dont care no more,
Give me the truth,
Cause I dont care no more, no.
Just give me the truth,
Give me the truth,
Give me the truth,
Give me the truth,
Give me the truth,
Cause I dont care no more, no.
The song ended and everyone broke into cheers, woots, whistling, and every other way to show how much they liked his singing. The security guards had to stand infront of the stage to stop all of the fans from trying to...well molest the poor hanyou singer.
Inuyasha stood there for a moment longer staring brokenly at Kagome. He mouthed the words 'Give me the truth Kagome' and she just wanted to break down and cry. Everything was so difficult in life. All the lies, all the suffering. She couldn't take it either.
Inuyasha forced a smile on his face and looked at his audience. They were all cheering for him, but they didn't know the real meaning as to why he sang it. He voiced his thanks to the audience and got off the stage, back to his and Kagome's table. The said girl didn't look at him, instead looked at her water glass. Inuyasha did the same.
"So...are you...going to give me the truth?" he whispered slowly, as if the words hurt to say them. And it really did because he knew what she was going to say...
"I'll give you the truth Inuyasha. I'll tell you whats on my mind. I feel torn, in whether I should believe you, or I should just forget you. I love you Inuyasha, please believe me when I say it. But like you sang before, I cant live this lie. Ever since we've started going out, it's been hell. And it was like that before. I feel like its a sign...a sign telling me that its not going to work out. So Im sorry Inuyasha, we're nothing." a tear slid down Kagome's cheek but she hastily wiped it away.
Inuyasha's heart broke into million little pieces, but he expected that. Kagome would be able to move on with her life...but he wouldn't.
"I understand...you dont have to cry...I hate it when you cry...anyways here, take the car and go home." Kagome stared at him, sniffling a little.
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine...I...just need sometime to myself..." Inuyasha said.
"Fine but...just dont do anything I wouldn't do."
"I wont." Not that I'd promise anything...
Kagome instantly felt guilty looking at his expression, but she took the car keys that he offered her. Giving his hand a gentle squeeze, she leaned up and planted a chaste kiss on his lips. Inuyasha savored it as much as he could before Kagome pulled back, stood up, and walked towards the lamborghini.
Inuyasha stayed, rooted to his spot in the night club, feeling lost and broken. But there was nothing that he could do. She was right.
"Now what?" Inuyasha asked himself, putting his head on his arms.
There was only one thing that he could do now. Something that he had tried before and promised not to try again. Something that if the others found out, they would surely kill him, especially Kagome. Something that would give him momentary happiness...
...Ecstacy...
