Chapter Ten

Starlight Love: Otome Game

Story One: Inuyasha's Story


When I opened my eyes everything we bright. I was in a white room. The bright white lights shined in my eyes, I couldn't help but squint, my eyes weren't ready for such brightness in the room. I tried moving and the pain became very apparent. Everything hurt, everything did. It hurt to try to move so I gave up and stopped trying.

"Kagome…" I heard a voice and slowly turned my head, my neck ached but it was more tolerable than the pain in my body. My each met Taisho-san's. He had a concerned look on his face. "Do you remember what happened?" He asked in a quiet voice. I tried my hardest to remember. It only came back in flashes.

I had coffee and cake with Kikyou-san. She looked angry as we were outside. She had my phone… then I remember looking up at her. Kikyou-san had a big grin on her face, like she was satisfied. That's all I could remember though.

"I only remember parts." I told him, Taisho-san look worried. He let out a sigh and crossed his arms. He sat back in his seat. I didn't know how to react to him. He looked at me with sad eyes.

"Kagome… Kikyou pushed you down a flight of stairs. There was a camera that caught it all on video." I was shocked… why? why would she do that? I was fighting back tears. Taisho-san pulled something out of his pocket and placed it in my hand. "She broke your phone as well, so I bought you a replacement. It has all of your old information in it." I was grateful for the phone but…

"Why...? Why would she do that?" I asked and Taisho-san looked pained. "I thought she and I were… were… friends. Why would she do that?" I asked again.

"She told me that there is a relationship between you and Inuyasha… She is convinced of it. She was delusional and you were dealt the consequences of her delusions." I sat for a moment and let that process. It was hard to believe that something like that happened to me.

"So… what is going to happen to Kikyou-san then." I asked and Taisho-san looked very serious.

"Her contract with us has been terminated. She is in police custody at the moment." He said and closed his eyes with another sigh. "It's a pity, she had talent but she wasn't saine."

"Terminated?" I questioned.

"Yes, GyaruCODE now old a five member group, they took quite a hit from it, but it will be a new chapter for them." I suddenly felt bad for what had happened. I wish there was some way to change what had happened. "I'm just happen you aren't seriously hurt, you could have died from her pushing you." He said.

"You have a sprained ankle, and are pretty bruised, you also have a concussion but it could have been a lot worse." he said with a little smile. "I'm glad you are okay."

I could hold back the tears anymore. "I'm sorry, Taisho-san…" I said with a gasp.

"Kagome… you didn't do anything wrong, you were a victim here. Please don't be upset over this." He said and gently ran a hand through my hair. He was just like a father to me, I was happy he took me in. Taisho-san helped me sit up and adjusted the pillows behind my back. I could now see the whole hospital room. It was a private room and there was a beautiful view of the city outside the big window. I nodded. Taisho-san was right afterall. I didn't do anything wrong.

"Kagome, you'll be here for a few more days since you were in and out of consciousness for a while, your body was already exhausted from work so you've been out for a few days. You should be discharged in a few days. After that, Kouga will take you back to your room. I need you to rest until you are fully healed. Don't force yourself at all." I nodded my head, his face got serious again. "And just to warn you, since you will find out eventually…" He paused and had a face that I couldn't read on.

"The media got word of what happened and this has turned into a full blown scandal. The video of her pushing you was released as well as footage of you being taken to the hospital… Try to ignore it and if you are asked about anything, please do not comment." He said. "We don't want to make the situation worse. Our representatives are trying to contain this scandal as much as possible right now." He patted my head lightly.

"I have to get back to work now, try to rest as much as possible for now please." I nodded and he left the room. I was still exhausted. I tried to make myself as comfortable as possible, after a while I was able to fall back asleep.


After three days I was discharged and then taken back home. Kouga-san helped me all the way to my room. He stocked my room with plenty of food, mostly soups that would be good for me. He said I would heal up faster If I had a lot of soup and vegetables. All of it was pre-made so I wouldn't have to stand up too much and cook.

I made myself a comfortable spot on the couch in my livingroom. I had all the pillows from my head and had my ankled raised on the coffee table. I turned on my TV to watch a movie and pass time but I couldn't help and change it to a news channel.

I listened to the report that was just starting.

'Kikyou-san, ex-member of the top selling idol group, GyaruCODE, has been fired following the assault of a label mate, up an comer Kagome Higurashi-san that was caught on camera. STARNEWS has the exclusive video of the assault. Please be warned the following video is graphic in nature.' I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen as the video played. It showed Kikyou-san throwing my phone on the ground and then coming at me. I fell out of view of the camera, thankfully, but it was still very hard to watch. After the video played, the reporter came back on. 'Kikyou-san has since been taken into police custody but as of today, no charges have been placed. It is believed that she is mentally unstable so police have decided to place her in a hospital instead of taking her to jail.' There were images of me being loaded into the ambulance next as the reporter continued.

'We still do not know the reason for Kikyou-san's action but an eyewitness claimed that she was yelling at Kagome-san about another label mate. Kagome-san is currently in the hospital recovering from her injuries. We've tried contacting SingUnLIMITED Company for more details on Kagome-san's current condition, but they have not commented. We will bring you more information on this hot topic as soon as more information comes in.' I sighed and changed the channel.

I still couldn't believe all of that stuff happened. And from all of this… I felt uneasy… I looked over and noticed my cellphone. I hadn't even checked it since Taisho-san gave it to me. It was a newer model of my last phone. I picked it up and flipped it open. I was surprised to see a lot of messages in my inbox.

I quickly opened my messages. They were all from Inuyasha. I smile crossed my face as I looked through each of the messages starting with the first.

'let's talk about the other night in person' Then I scrolled to the next one, 'I'll be back in a week, let's talk then.' He must have been worried since I didn't reply.

'Kagome… I just heard what happened… I'm worried about you… please be okay.' It hurt me to know he was worried about me but I couldn't reply then, I was still in the hospital.

'I want to hear your voice and know you are okay...' He must have been worried sick about me. Then the next message was from last night. 'I will be home in two days. I need to see you then.' followed by one from this morning.

'I want to hear your voice already!' I smiled… I wanted to hear his voice too. I really did. Deep down all I wanted right now was to be with him and have him wrap his arms around me… Why? Why did I want that from him… after I fought for hard to keep him as just a friend… why did i want him to hold me now?

I was confused on what to do and why I felt this way…
