Chapter 14- All Around Me
She was finally going home, after four long years of hard work, she was finally going home. A smiled graced her lips as she placed her sunglasses over her eyes and boarded her plane that would take her back to Japan. College was finally over with and she had graduated with honors in Business Management, this way her band could open up their own music place if they so pleased.
A girl around the age of 16 was sitting next to her on the way home and she seemed to be pretty depressed.
"I couldn't help but notice your not happy, anything you want to talk about?" Kagome questioned as the girl looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"I'm going back to Japan but when I left a few months ago my boyfriend broke up with me, I just don't know what's going on. He wants me to be happy but I wish he would have seen I was happy with him," she stated sadly.
"Well, maybe he didn't want to weigh you down while you were here, if you met someone here, he wouldn't want to hold you back. Maybe he will be waiting for you in Japan to apologize and try to make it up to you," Kagome suggested.
"Thanks, by the way, I'm Rin," she smiled and Kagome frowned a bit, Rin??
"They call me Kae, but I'll tell you a secret if you won't tell anyone," she whispered as Rin nodded. Kagome smiled removing her sunglasses and Rin looked shocked.
"I know who you are," she stated in wonder, "you're that American singer."
Kagome just nodded to her before putting the glasses back on, "I don't like to cause a scene."
"I can understand that, I want to become a singer one day, that would be amazing," Rin exclaimed and a smirked appeared on Kagome's face.
The remainder of the trip they talked about music, Kagome was really interested in what kind of songs Rin had written and she formulated the perfect plan in her mind as the plane landed and they exited.
"Hey, what are you doing tonight?" Kagome questioned.
"Nothing really, I guess, why?" she questioned as Kagome pulled out 2 backstage passes to her bands concert that night.
"I know of this really good band that is playing tonight. Here, take em, I can't make it," she stated handing them to Rin. She looked down and realized they were tickets to her favorite Japanese band, she squealed hugging the older woman. Kagome smiled and said goodbye before walking out to find her car. She need to get ready for he night, it was going to be big.
Four years she thought sadly and Sesshomaru still hadn't found her. She couldn't place the blame on him though; she was studying abroad for awhile and was in America, she doubted he would look there for her. She put on some baggy black pants with chains that had purple down in side. As a shirt she put on a dark purple tank top and purple and black chucks. Time for hair she thought driving to her hair stylist. She got purple highlights in her hair and she deemed everything perfect.
Her band would never expect it, they were still under the impression that she wasn't leaving American till the next day, but she wanted to see the look on their faces as she crashed the concert. She hadn't seen her friends in so long, well, except for Yasha, he would fly over and stay with her for awhile when she was on break but it would have been too much money for all of them to visit.
When she left she had insisted on them finding a temporary replacement for her but they refused saying it wouldn't be the same. The only reason she was going to America was because of the scholarship they received from the battle of the bands so many years ago and they decided Kagome should go.
Kagome pulled into the parking lot and park her silver eclipse near the door, slipped her sunglasses back over her eyes, and almost instantly the doorman recognized her and let her in.
"Thanks," she stated sweetly as she walked in. She could hear the concert going on and heard Yasha singing the chorus for Breath (Breaking Benjamin). She smiled as she made her way backstage with guitar case in hand. Rin was standing there with a friend of hers, she guessed.
"Hey, enjoying yourselves?" Kagome questioned walking up to the young teenager.
"Kae! What are you doing here?" Rin questioned giving her a hug, "I thought you couldn't make it."
"Well, I have a confession but you'll have to wait to figure it out," Kagome laughed turning to the man next to her. She gasped. Those eyes, it has to be.
"Maru," he stated taking the girls hand into a firm shake, "I appreciate you giving Rin your tickets, she has always wanted to come to one of their concerts but she wished the lead singer would have been here."
"Well, I hope you won't be too disappointed with the outcome of the concert," Kagome stated walking away into one of the backrooms and the two turned their attention back to the band. Yasha had just got done singing Sorry (Buckcherry) when a voice came through the speakers.
"Geez Yasha, that was depressing," everyone looked around to figure out who it was but they didn't see anyone. Kagome walked back over to Rin and placed a hand on her shoulder, "I hope you don't have stage fright," she whispered, her guitar was hanging loosely on her back before a smirk appeared on her face.
"Kae??" she questioned.
"I've got a new song for you all, this is Born for This (Paramore)," Rin heard Kagome say before swinging her guitar into her hands, slipping her sunglasses onto her head, and started playing. She stepped out onto stage and everyone screamed as her band played but with shocked expressions. She knew she would get tackled into a hug after her song was done.
Oh no I just keep on
falling
(Back to the same old…)
Where's hope when misery
comes crawling?
(oh my way-ay)
With your faith you'll trigger
a landslide
(victory)
To kill off this common sense of mine
It
takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You
can't doubt it with your eyes
So we don't meet the
headlines
We don't need the headlines
We just want…
Kagome
walked over to Yasha and started to sing into his mic, a huge smile
graced his lips
(We want the airways back, we want the
airways back)
She walked back to her mic
Everybody sing
like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do
you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it's the last day
you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure
now?
Right now you're the only reason
(I'm not letting
go, oh…)
and im out if everyone's worth pleasing
(wa
ah)
You'll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
to kill off their
finite state of mind
It takes acquired minds to taste, to
taste, to taste this wine
You can't doubt it with your eyes
So
we don't meet the headlines
No, we don't want your
headlines
We just want…
(We want the airways back, we want the airways)
Everybody sing like it's the last song you
will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure
now?
Everybody live like it's the last day you will ever
see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody
sing like it's the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell
me, do you feel the pressure?
Walks to the edge of the stage
and places her guitar behind her as Yasha took over her part. Her mic
was now in her hands.
Alright, so you think you're
ready?
Ok, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for
this Points mic to crowd
(We were born for this)
Alright,
so you think you're ready?
OK, then you say this with me
Go!
We
were born for this
(We were born for this)
We were born for
this
(We were born for this)
We were born for
We were
born for
She place both hands on the mic and started jumping up
and down as she sang.
Everybody sing like it's the last song
you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the
pressure?
Everybody live like it's the last day you will ever
see
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?

Kagome smiled as the crowd went wild and she took a few of their hands before walked back to her friends.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled embracing her friend, "what are you doing here?"
"Um, I thought that was obvious. I took an early flight, right after graduation and went straight to the airport."
"Why didn't you tell us!?" Miroku questioned from behind his drum set.
"And miss the looks on your faces? That would take all the fun out of it," she laughed as Yasha came up and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Well, now that you're here, let's give the crowd something to scream over," he yelled as the people screamed. Kagome looked over to see Rin smiled big and Maru stood there with a strange look in his eyes.
"Alright, I wrote this song while at college but I hope you enjoy it, it's called All around me (Flyleaf)," she stated placing her guitar in the holder next to her. She wouldn't be needing it for this song as she took the mic in her hands, she was shaking a little, after all she had written this song about the man that was standing just a few feet away backstage…..
