Nothing but a Dream Chapter 10, an inuyasha fanfic

Authors Note:

Hey guys! I am sorry it has been like a month. School has started and homework has been piling in. Also, my dog is in the hospital so I am sad. Thanks for all the comments! You guys give me so many ideas. Hopefully I can finish this story so I can start a new one. I already have started thinking of ideas for a sequel!!!! Continue to read my story. As I said before, these couples of chapters involve random singing like a musical. Here you guys go…

Chapter 10

"Sesshoumaru have you heard any news from Ayame yet?" Miroku asked Sesshoumaru who was concentrating on his laptop.

"No, but I do know she is on her way back home I don't know how she is going to get there. What a shame it's only been a little more that a month and we already need a new singer." Sesshoumaru answered.

"I think we are going to need two…" Miroku said.

"Why do you say that, Miroku?" Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow.

"You're pregnant! I'm so happy for you Sango!" Kagome squealed.

"So…you're not mad? I would think you would be because now I can't sing." Sango said.

"Why would I be mad? You're my best friend for goodness sake. What's going to happen between you and Miroku?"

"Well Kagome, here's the thing. At the next stop, Miroku and me are getting off and going home after the concert. Hopefully while we're there we'll talk to Ayame. I need you to be strong for me Kagome." Sango said tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sango you're not going to finish the tour with me? Our songs were written for a three-part harmony. I can't do this without you. With Ayame gone, how am I going to sing any one of our songs?" Kagome said.

"I believe you can do it Kagome. Sesshoumaru will pull some strings. Miroku is telling him right now. After all you only have three more stops." Sango hugged her friend. "Now that I got that off my chest, what's up with you and Inuyasha? Do you really think Kikyo is pregnant?"

"Sango I don't want to talk about it."

"I have an idea!" A light bulb turned on in Sango's head, "How about Miroku, you, and I go out and have some fun?"

Kagome raised her eyebrow.

"So tell me, how you girls became a group?" Miroku asked. Sango, Miroku, and Kagome sat in a bar laughing about thing they remembered from their childhoods.

"Well we became a group back in middle school." Kagome said.

"Kagome is the main reason why we became a group. Do you remember the first time we performed in high school?" Sango burst out laughing. Kagome tried not to remember the memory.

"What happened?" Miroku asked curiously.

"Well…" Sango went on.

Flashback

"You guys ready?" Ayame asked.

"I can't believe the principal is letting us perform at Fall Frenzy. We'll rule this school after this." Kagome said checking her make up in the mirror.

"Plus we'll get all the guys. Not to mention dates to homecoming! All the senior girls will be jealous of us freshmen." Sango said.

"Could you think of anything else besides guys for a second? Is anyone nervous besides me?" Kagome said freaking out.

"No." Sango and Ayame answered in unison.

"Don't worry Kagome you'll be fine." Sango said as all three of them walked to the stage.

"If you say so." Kagome answered taking her spot on the stage.

"Hojo hit it!"

When the song was over the crowd clapped and cheered. Kagome couldn't believe she actually did it. They had never performed in front of and audience before. Kagome's luck had ended when the claps in the audience became chuckles, then giggles, and finally pure laughter.

"Oh no." Sango said covering her mouth in astonishment looking at Kagome.

"What's wrong?" Kagome wondered, "Why is everybody laughing?"

"Your pants. Look down." Ayame said pointing down.

Kagome looked down and shrieked. She covered herself immediately blushing with embarrassment. Tears began to form in her eyes. She peed in her pants because of her being so nervous.

Kagome ran as fast as her legs could run off the stage. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

-30 minutes later-

"Oh kami! I can't believe that happened to me. I guess I'm the new laughing stock in the school." Kagome said with her head down.

"Yea you are." Sango said laughing.

"Don't listen to her Kagome. We got your back no matter how much people laugh at you." Ayame said hugging her friend. Sango's cell phone started to vibrate.

"Oh, I have a new text message. Let's see…HAHAHAHAHA!" Sango burst out into laughter again. Kagome snatched the phone from her hand and looked at the message. She started to cry again.

"Let me see." Ayame said. She looked at the message and couldn't help laughing. It was a picture of Kagome's pee-stained pants.

"I can't take this anymore! Give me the phone!" When Kagome tried to grab the phone it flung from her hand and landed across the room.

Kagome sighed and walked across the room to retrieve the phone. She reached down to get the phone but another hand already grabbed it. She raised her head slightly and saw two shoes, shoes that belonged to a boy. She stood up fully and her heart skipped a beat.

"Lose your phone cutie?" The boy asked looking down at her.

"Yes you are." Kagome replied. 'He's FINE!' Kagome thought to herself.

"Aren't you going to take it?" the boy asked.

"Yes you are…I mean yeah, it's actually my friend's, but I'll take it." The boy handed her the phone and Kagome giggled.

"He's sexy! Plus he's a demon." Ayame whispered to Sango.

"Aren't you on the dance team? I saw you on stage. You got some moves and you have the voice of an angel."

"Did you see it?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah I saw your little 'accident'. It's alright, it happens. What's your name cutie?" He replied.

"K-Kagome. My name is Kagome. What's yours?" Kagome stuttered.

"My name is Koga. Quarterback on the football team. I know it's unusual for a sophomore to be flirting with a freshman, but could I get your number by any chance?" Koga asked.

"Of course you can!" Sango and Ayame said in unison rushing up to Koga. They handed him a slip of paper with her cell phone number printed neatly on it.

"I'll give you a call then." Koga said smiling then walking away.

"Girl, he is the definition of sexy!" Ayame said.

End of flashback

Sango continued to laugh uncontrollably.

"So that's how you and your ex met. Inuyasha told me about him." Miroku laughed.

"Ayame was so jealous while you two were dating. She had a huge crush on him." Sango said sipping on her soda.

"Wow, she was jealous back then. Who is that Hojo guy you were talking about?" Miroku asked.

"Hojo did our music until we met you and Sesshoumaru. He only did our music because he was in love with Kagome." Sango replied.

"That is not true. He did have a crush on me, but we straightened it out before I started to date Inuyasha." Kagome said, but then four eyes stared at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I haven't heard you say that name in three weeks." Sango said while Miroku nodded his head in agreement.

"Kagome, Sango and I think you should talk to him. You seem sadder every day." Miroku said.

"I understand that Kikyo is pregnant, but I'm sure you guys can work things out." Sango said while holding her friend's hand.

"If anyone knows Inuyasha the best, it's me. Kikyo and him are over." Miroku said.

"I'm surprised Inuyasha hasn't said anything to you." Sango said.

"He has his reasons. He has a lot on his mind right now. He'll tell me eventually." Miroku replied.

"Well how long do you think is eventually? My friend has been crying for the last couple of weeks because of Inuyasha." Sango began to raise her voice.

"He'll talk to me when he has the time. He is a famous singer for kami's sake. Maybe Kagome should talk to him; after all she is his girlfriend." Miroku raised his voice. The people in the bar began to look at Sango and Miroku arguing.

"You mean WAS his girlfriend!" Sango yelled. Kagome felt depressed seeing her two friends argue.

"She would still be his girlfriend if she would talk to him!" Miroku yelled.

"I still wonder why he didn't talk to you! Maybe it is because he doesn't trust you enough. How am I going to be able to trust you? We are about to bring a child into this world!" Sango yelled. Miroku felt a stake drive through his heart.

Kagome was in tears while her two friends continued to argue. She felt something in her coat pocket that was starting to bother her. She pulled it out and discovered it was a piece of paper. She opened it and more tears poured from her eyes.

Kagome got up from the table and walked towards the bar tender.

"Look what you've done! She's going to leave because of you!" Sango yelled.

"You think this is my fault? She's YOUR best friend. Why don't YOU go talk to her?" Miroku yelled back.

"Sango and Miroku, would you two please stop arguing for a minute?" Kagome spoke into the microphone on the stage.

Sango and Miroku shut their mouths immediately. The other people in the bar started whispering realizing who was up on stage.

"I LOVE YOU KAGOME!" A random guy in the bar yelled out.

"Thank you. If you people out there know who I am, then you'll know that I probably just made the biggest mistake in my life. I risked not only my job, but others who work in my record company's jobs also. Some of you out there have probably seen the headlines and read the articles. I was just discovered as a singer, and already my reputation is being trashed. One of the singers who used to be in our group left because she felt all the attention was landing on me. I left a guy who I deeply care about because of something I witnesses. I don't know if it is true or not. I haven't even talked to him. I found this song a couple of minutes ago, and I came to a realization. So I going to sing this for you and turn around this whole mess."

-Listen to your Heart- (originally by Roxette)

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before...

Kagome tears started to pour down her face once again.

And there are voices that want to be heard
So much to mention but you can't find the words
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind

Listen to your heart (take a listen to it)
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart (take a listen to it)
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before oh...

The audience clapped when Kagome finished the song. Tears fell from Sango eyes. She had never heard Kagome sing with such passion before. Kagome walked off stage whipping her tears away. She felt like a giant weight was taken off her shoulders, but she knew she would be fully relieved until she made up with Inuyasha.

"Sango will you forgive me?" Miroku said bringing Sango into his embrace.

"Only if you forgive me. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I guess I had a mood swing." Sango said looking up at him. Miroku placed a hand over Sango stomach and smiled.

"I forgive you." Miroku leaned down and kissed Sango passionately.

"Okay lovers! That's enough. We have work to do!" Kagome interrupted.

"What do you mean work?" Sango questioned.

"I need a song. A song so loving that me and Inuyasha would have to get back together!" Kagome said jumping around.

"Sesshoumaru would never go for this. How do you expect we do this?" Miroku raised his eyebrow.

"What Sesshoumaru doesn't know, won't hurt him. I have an idea and you two aren't going home yet." Kagome pulled out her cell phone and began to dial quickly.

"Who are you calling?" Sango questioned.

"Hi Hojo? This is Kagome. I'm doing great. I was wondering, would like to do a song for me? Alright, thank you Hojo! Bye." Kagome hung up the phone.

"Kagome you are way over your head." Sango said.

"No silly, I'm in love." Kagome squealed.

"Sir, there is a girl here to see you." The secretary buzzed through the intercom.

"I've been expecting her. Send the girl right in." Naraku replied.

The girl walked into the office moments later and sat in the chair across form Naraku's desk.

"Ayame, I was wondering when you would finally come and see me." Naraku said. "You know my client Kikyo."

"Yes I do. I've seen her perform numerous times." Ayame replied.

"Let's get straight to the point. Why are you here to see me?" Naraku stood from his chair and walked to the front of his desk.

"The last group I worked with didn't satisfy me. I started off as the leader and then was taken away from that spot. Reduced to a lousy backup singer. My name should be on every magazine and newspaper. Instead all I see is the name 'Kagome'." Ayame raised her voice.

"I see. Ayame I used to belong to Taisho Record Company Inc. myself at one time. Let's just say Sesshoumaru and I didn't see eye to eye. That's until I met Naraku. Yes I lip sing, so what? I just like opening that check envelope after every performance." Kikyo went on.

"She's right Ayame. I can pay you double of want Sesshoumaru gave you. Not to mention get you into the right parties with the right producers." Naraku said sitting on the edge of his desk.

"That's exactly what I want. No can I ask you a question Naraku?" Ayame replied. "Can you take me to number one?"

"You mean 'number two'. I'm number one girl." Kikyo stated.

"I'll take you wherever you want. Just sign here." Naraku gave Ayame a pen and slid the document closer to her.

Ayame studied if to make sure there were no tricks behind this. She clicked the pen and signed her name on the contract.

"We have a deal." Ayame held out her hand.

"We are officially doing business." Naraku shook her hand and began to chuckle to himself.

"I have a song that would fit her voice perfectly Naraku. If we are going to top Kagome, then we need to cross over to a new style of music." Kikyo said.

"What type of music do you have in mind?" Naraku looked at Kikyo then Ayame.

"How about rock?" Kikyo offered.

"That could work. It's new and different. Teenagers would be easily attracted to it. We'll not only bump Kagome off, but Inuyasha as well. Does that please you Kikyo?" Naraku said.

"Very much." Kikyo smiled evilly.

"How am I going to change from pop to rock?" Ayame questioned.

"We won't completely change your style of music. We'll put them together." Naraku said.

"Whatever you say boss." Ayame said.

"This is harder than I thought. I don't even know where to start writing." Kagome said rubbing her temples.

"It'll come to you Kagome. You've written songs before. Just be patient." Sango replied.

"When I write songs. I sometimes use past events. Try that." Miroku said sipping on hot coffee. Kagome kept them awake all night obsessing over this song.

"We'll be in Tokyo within a week. Hojo is driving all the way there with music. I need a song! It's got to be the best song I will ever perform in my whole career. This is our last concert. Tokyo after all is Sango, Ayame, and my hometown. Our friends and family are going to be there. This has got to be perfect!" Kagome looked like a crazy psycho. Miroku and Sango began to worry.

"How about you get some sleep. It will turn out great in the end." Sango said.

"Alright. I'll just take a nap for a couple of minutes, then back to work." Kagome said as she walked to her bunk. "I'll be do gland when we get off this tour bus."

Kagome climbed in the bunk and closed her eyes for much needed rest.

Dream…

"Your husband is in critical condition. We have done all we could. He only has a couple of minutes left. He wishes to see his two sons, wife, and a young lady by the name of Kagome." The doctor bowed his head in sorrow.

Izayoi burst out into tears. Inuyasha held his mother to his chest and let her cry. Kagome held her hand over her mouth and looked away. The doctor led them to the room Inu Taisho was in. Sesshoumaru knocked on the door and then opened it.

"Come in, come in." Inu Taisho lay in the bed with a small smile on his face. He had barely enough energy to speak.

"Darling!" Izayoi rushed to his side immediately. Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Kagome walked to the other side of the bed.

"Izayoi it's alright. I only have a couple of minutes so I want each of you to hear me." Inu Taisho held his wife's hand and kissed it.

"Sesshoumaru, you are now the head of the Taisho family. Take care of my mate as if she was your real mother." Inu Taisho looked at his eldest son.

"Yes father. I am honored." Sesshoumaru bowed to his father and the stepped back.

"Izayoi, live strong. I love you with all my heart. I will be with you always even in your dreams." Inu Taisho kissed Izayoi's palm.

"Yes my darling." Izayoi leaned down and kissed Inu Taisho for the last time. She pulled back and rubbed her hand against his cheek. She smiled at Inu Taisho.

"Inuyasha my son. You have proven yourself to be a man. I want you to hold on to this woman. I can tell that one day you two will have beautiful pups to love and cherish." Inu Taisho looked at his son and smiled.

"Yes father. You will be able to look down from the heavens at your grandchild." Inuyasha smiled at his father. His arm was protectively around Kagome's shoulder.

"Kagome, come closer child." Inu Taisho reached out for her to give him her hand. Kagome obeyed and gave him her hand.

"You are a strong woman yourself. I want you to take care of my son over there. You told me you cared a lot for him." Inu Taisho smiled Kagome.

"Yes sir." Tears were swelling up in Kagome eyes. This reminded her of her own father's death.

"Love is something that I know you will discover shortly. You and Inuyasha will have your fights from time to time, but promise me you'll think of love before anger…" Inu Taisho could feel pain from where he was shot. He could tell these were his final moments.

"Darling!" Izayoi held his hand tighter.

"I give my blessings to you all. I can now die in peace because I am around the people I love…" Inu Taisho looked at each of them one more time. His vision was becoming a blur.

"Father." Sesshoumaru walked over to Izayoi and let her cry on his chest.

"I promise Mr. Taisho. I promise." Kagome released his hand and went to Inuyasha. Inuyasha opened his arms welcoming her into his embrace. Kagome cried into Inuyasha chest. Inuyasha bowed his head in sorrow.

End of dream…

Kagome woke up wondering why she had that dream.

"How did he know?" Kagome questioned herself.

"I understand know. Back then I thought he was talking crazy, but now it all fits together." Kagome sat up in the bed.

"It's like he looked into the future. Inuyasha' father is one creepy dude. What did he say again?" Kagome replayed the dream in her head again.

"I promised him I would think of love before anger. That's what I'm going to do!" Kagome jumped out of the bed. She looked at the clock and it said 8:00 A.M. She ran to the front of the bus were she found Miroku and Sango in deep sleep on the couch.

"Wake up!" Kagome yelled. Miroku and Sango woke up in fright. Miroku was trying to catch his breath.

"Kagome you kept us up all last night. Let us get a little more sleep before we arrive in Kyoto." Sango whined.

"No! A song came to me and you two are helping me!" Kagome said smack their check trying to wake them up. Both of them moaned in agony.

"Sesshoumaru I think you should hear this." Inuyasha said holding a radio in his hand.

"What is it?" Sesshoumaru replied.

If you thought Ayame was gone then you're wrong. Here's her new smash hit "Hollaback Girl"! (originally by Gwen Stefani)

Uh huh, this my shhh

Oooh, this my, this my

"How the hell did this happen?" Sesshoumaru said.

"I have no idea, but I bet we're about to find out." Inuyasha replied.

"So tell me your names." Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru forced her to attend the auditions he was holding to fill in Sango and Ayame's spots. Kagome hated the fact Sesshoumaru was replacing the people she had always sand with.

"My name is Keina and this is my friend Kiyori." The woman wearing a feather in her hair replied. The other just stood and smiled.

"What is your favorite song?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"We both like the song "Candyman" by you Miss Kagome. We love your music. I like to sing at Ayame's octave while Kiena sing's at Sango's. We are huge fans. We love every song you have made so far." Kiyori replied.

"Well if you like our music so much then sing "Now That You Got It"." Kagome replied.

When they finished the song Kagome was amazed. She had never heard two voices that sounded so close to Ayame's and Sango's.

"You proved to us that you can sing, but can you dance?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Kagome show them the first two eight-counts of "Maneater"."

"We already know it. We said we were huge fans." Kiena replied. This was too suspicious to Kagome.

"Indeed. Show it then. Music!" Sesshoumaru said.

Kagome was amazed even more when they finished the dance routine. That was one of the most difficult dances she had ever performed. They did they dance as if they were doing it for years.

"Kagome may I speak to you?" Sesshoumaru asked. They walked out of the room so that the two girls could not hear them.

"Does it seem strange to you that they know so much about Ayame, Sango, and me?" Kagome said.

"Yes that is rather strange, but there all we have right know. We have to hire these girls." Sesshoumaru said.

"If you think this is the best thing to do." Kagome said walking back into the room.

"Congratulations. You two are the new members of the Shikons. Rehearsal begins at nine sharp!" Kagome said shaking each girl's hand.

"Thank you so much! You won't regret it!" Kiyori squealed.

"I better have not. Nine o'clock sharp!" Kagome said walking out the door meeting Sesshoumaru in the hallway.

"Yes ma'am." They both answered in unison.

"Yes ma'am indeed Keina or Kagura." Kiyori said.

"The same to you Kiyori or shall I call you Kaguya." Kagura said.

"We got at least through plan one. I'll be glad when this mission is over." Kaguya said.

"Let's update Naraku on our progress." Kagura pulled out her cell phone.

Chapter done! I haven't written a chapter in so long. School is taking up all my time. I promise to start writting the chapters faster. We are about half way through this story.
