WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT A NEW KEYBOARD!!! NOW EVERYONE CAN ENJOY MY FICS AGAIN!!!!! Only that now I won't get allowance for 3 weeks - -;;;

And I like this new keyboard btw. The keys are so soft and I find myself typing faster then before.

And due to requests, Inuyasha is in this chapter A LOT!!!!

Eep! And as I was writing this, I came up with the idea to make it a Shippou/new girl fanfic also. I love him sooooo much!!! ^^

DEDICATION: Inu-Baby (Arigatou for the review!! And Daimyou is his last name. It wasn't a stupid question either. Nothing is ever a stupid question. I just thought though that everyone knew that in Japan they always say they're last name first and then their first names. I'll have what the names mean at the end of this chapter k?), Ai-chan (I don't think you'll be seeing Miroku or Sango in this fic. I'm much of a fan of there's. But there are 2 characters that WILL appear from the series. One is revealed in this fic and the other is in the next chapter. And I MAY put in Sesshoumaru but I still have to see how that goes. But arigatou for the review!!!), AzN GurL (Arigatou for the review!!!), LilFoxgirl (Arigatou for the review!!! I don't really want to be evil with people so I'm not sure about putting cliffhangers and stuff. But maybe I will be tempted some day to do it), DemonAni (it's okay about not reviewing. At least I know that you're still out there reading. And I hope you feel better. It sucks being sick. I should know. I just go sick recently because of my *ahem* "time of month" (and no I don't turn into a human once a month like Inuyasha though it WOULD be cool to turn into a demon ^^). But arigatou for your review!!), Lin_Ysh (Arigatou for your review, for you support, and even for e-mailing me about this fic!!!), Demon-Wolf (arigatou for your review!!!), LiL Yukino (arigatou for your review!!!! And I write well because I've been practicing since I was 11 years old (I'm 17 now) so I've practiced a lot. Oh! And I like your idea!! You don't mind if I take it right??? But I AM going to twist it around a little bit and make it different. You'll see how ^_~), vicious-wolf (arigatou for the reivew!!! And so I wouldn't have to face your wrath, here's part 2!!), Inuki (hehe, how did you guess?? I guess though that I was trying my best to think up of a name and then I thought about the EXTREMELY cute and sexy Suboshi and Amiboshi so I gave him that name. I like Suboshi a lot though because poor him : ( He loves Yui. They're one of my favorite couples that I was sad didn't end up together!!! But arigatou for the review!!!!), Purple Rose-chan ^^ (arigatou for the review and I'm glad you liked the second part!! Hope you review it anyway!!!)

Now to rule out Lightning-sama! Arigatou for editing this part for me!!! I'll give you the next pat when it's done k? Arigatou for supporting me also!!! I really appreciated it!!!!

The Life of a Star

By Inuyasha-loves-Kagome (A.K.A. Inu-chan)

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. So please don't sue!!

~**~

The ride to Tokyo had been fairly uneventful for both Kagome and Inuyasha. She had ridden in her trailer and Inuyasha had ridden with the other stagehands. He had to admit that it had been a very boring trip. But all he had to do was remember his mission, the purpose that had driven him to join the crew. With that in mind, he bared this.

Meanwhile for Kagome, it was during these rides to other cities that the memories came back to her. They were always as clear as day, mocking her, making her suffer.

The memory would never leave her…

**Flashback**

Her first performance ever! She was so excited! But they had told her backstage that she didn't need to worry. That the audience would love her. All she had to do was ignore the people and pretend like it was only her. So now she was dancing on the stage, her hair (that had been shorter at that time) flung around her creamy white shoulders.

She was doing it for them…for her family.

She hadn't spotted them yet, but she hoped they were in the audience, watching her, being very proud that she had succeeded in her dream of becoming a major singer. She had wanted to become one ever since she was born! And now there she was, dancing and singing at her first concert ever! She was bursting with joy and giving it her all.

When the show had ended and she had taken her last bows to the roaring crowd, she went backstage and looked for her mother, brother, and grandfather. They had backstage passes that would let them meet her in her dressing room.

Sweating and panting a bit, she approached a large security guard. His name was Jake, an American, and he had become one of her best friends on this tour. He was so nice and funny.

"Jake-san?" she questioned softly to get his attention. He turned to her and waited for her to continue walking. "Have you seen my family? They were supposed to be here by now."

He shook his head slowly, his eyes shut. "Iie, Kagome-chan. I haven't seen them at all tonight." He raised one if his thick eyebrows at her. "Weren't they supposed to be here before the show also? They didn't even come by then."

Kagome looked disbelievingly at him, her eyes wide, the fear growing inside of her. They didn't even come before the show? Nani o? Where are they?

"Kagome-chan…?" Jake's voice called out to her, trying to break her away from her thoughts. She looked so far away at the moment and he knew that she was worried. "If you want I can take you to your house to see why they didn't come."

Kagome nodded slowly, still lost in her own thoughts.

What's going on?

~**~

Jake had taken her in the limo that the music company had given her and drove her to her house. It wasn't too far away from the concert hall so it didn't take them too long to get there.

Jake stopped in front and stepped out. He took a peak at the house and saw that the lights were off. Were they even home?

He was going to open the door for her, but Kagome beat him to it and ran out of the limo. Her breath in her throat. Onegai! Let them be okay!

She took out her key shakily and opened the door.

What she saw in front of her made her gasp and drop the keys to the floor. They hit the ground in slow motion and it was like the sound would break the world.

There…lying on the floor…was her family…murdered…blood pooling around them…

"Iya…" Kagome breathed, her hands to her mouth to keep from screaming. She ran forward and checked on them.

Bullet wounds…Someone had shot them all.

Demo…for what reason…?

"Iya…" Kagome said again, this time kneeling in front of them, her pants absorbing the blood. Sobs escaped her throat before she broke down and cried.

"IYA!!!!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Powerful sobs escaped her throat and she didn't even bother to hide it. She hugged herself close as she cried, and didn't even notice it when Jake came through the door and stood behind her, putting a hand to her shoulder. "Gomen nasai Kagome-chan," he whispered to the crying girl.

But she knew that nothing would stop her crying…ever again…

**End flashback**

Damn memory! Kagome cursed as she sobbed into her pillow. Damn it forever!

She would have cursed it further had it not been that she felt the trailer make a sudden halt. She paused her crying and looked up from her pillow in order to see what was going on. She wiped her eyes and stood up from the bed. Wonder why we stopped.

She walked up to the door and was about to go outside but she paused by the door and stood there, her hand in mid-air. Iie. There was no way she could go outside yet. She knew that her eyes were probably still really puffy and red. She didn't want anyone to know that she had been crying.

She walked back to her bed and sat down at the edge, grabbing the sides like they were her only lifeline.

Her head snapped up when she heard a knock at her door. Should I let them in? Her brows furrowed. But who would be bothering me? She groaned when a semi-answer came to her mind. Ah yes, Suboshi-san probably wants to talk to me about something.

"Hai," she called, her voice weak and low, but steady nonetheless.

The door opened to reveal someone she never would have expected. It was Inuyasha. His face looked neutral, but Kagome was still suspicious. "May I help you?" she asked in cold tone because she suddenly remembered Suboshi-san saying that he was her biggest fan (supposedly).

His face turned into one of worry as he went and sat down beside her. She tensed but he seemed not to notice. "I heard you crying so I came to see why."

Kagome became even more defensive. She turned her head away so she wouldn't let him see her tears. In fact, she didn't even want him there. How dare he sit next to me! And I bet that all that stuff about being my fan is a bunch of bull! But he couldn't have lied because he wants publicity, ne? He probably already has lots. So then what does he want? "Just go away please. I don't want to talk to anyone."

Inuyasha's brows furrowed, though Kagome didn't notice it because she wasn't looking at him. "What's wrong with you?" he demanded, his voice a bit harsh. "I saw every single one of your concerts and every time you were up there, you were full of life and laughter, like you had lived the perfect life!"

Perfect life…The words rang inside of her head and they made her angry like she had never felt before. She turned to face him, tears streaming down her face. "I said get out! You don't know me! You don't know about the pain I felt!" She broke down and cried then and her voice softened as she balled her hands in front of her eyes. "You have no idea…"

Inuyasha looked at her with pity, realizing the mistake he had made. Poor girl. She must have faced a traumatic experience that really affected her. Knowing that she needed comfort at the moment, he slowly but surely wrapped his arms around her and let her cry onto his clothes, not even caring that her clothes soaked his shirt. He rested his head on her head and took peace into her wonderful smell. That made him blink. Her smell…It's so comforting all itself. A sweet smell that I've never smelled on a human before. He decided to let himself loose himself in hugging her and smelling her, his true reason for coming to see her cleared from his mind.

He's trying to make me feel better…Kagome realized with slight shock. Her balling had calmed down to quiet sobs because of a certain boy hugging her close like a friend, or even a kareshi (boyfriend) would. What's this guy's deal? Why is he hugging me?

Kagome pulled away from slightly and she stood up from her position on the bed, walking over to her dresser and grabbing a tissue. She sniffed. "Arigatou gozaimasu for helping me to feel better." She said it in a professional tone, rather than a causal one.

He stood up and walked over to her. Slowly, he placed his hands on her shoulders. "Iindesu. (That's Ok). You don't have to thank me."

Kagome turned around and faced him. "Are you trying to seduce me or something?" she asked suspiciously. "I mean, you're the son of one of the richest men in Japan, yet here you are working for me. Doesn't your daddy (pronouncing it like it was a vulgar word) give you enough money? Or did he disown you?"

Rather than get angry like she had expected him to get, he smiled. "It's like Suboshi-san said. I'm your biggest fan AND I want to get to know you better. I know that deep down there's a girl who just wants to be normal rather than a big star."

"You're wrong," she answered, walking away from him. She couldn't think straight when he was near and it was strange. He made her feel strange. "This was always my dream. I've never wanted to be normal. This was supposed to be for my fam—" She cut herself off because she was just about to reveal to him something that she barely told anyone.

"What were going to say?" he asked, curious. "This was something for your family?"

"Just forget it," she insisted. "Please leave."

She's hiding something from me. I can feel it. Perhaps if I get her to talk more, she'll tell me more about her family and I can finally get what I want. "Iie," he responded. "You know, it's better if you share what's bothering you. Like right now. What's going on with your family? Were they not able to see your big break or something?"

Kagome would have laughed at how accurate he was, had she not gotten angry with him. She pushed herself right up to him and pressed the palms of her hands on his slightly muscular chest, though she didn't allow herself to enjoy the feel. "Get out of here!" she pushed him towards the door and he actually didn't fight. "And NEVER try to talk to me again!"

She then proceeded to slam the door in his face. After that she leaned on it and sighed deeply. WOW! It's never felt SOOOO good to kick someone out before! I've always wanted to do it but I haven't been able to because everyone expects me to be saint or something.

She had to admit though that he was sweet for trying to comfort her, despite the fact that she sensed that there was a reason to it.

And at least he made her forget about her family for a while.

For the rest of the night, her mind was occupied with thoughts of him rather than sad thoughts about her family.

~**~

Inuyasha hadn't been totally resentful when she kicked him out. He could sense that he had hit a nerve when he had talked to her. There was some kind of mystery when it came to her family. He could tell. He wasn't stupid. The only question was what was she hiding about them? Did they beat her? He shook his head. That couldn't be it. Her pain didn't seem like that kind of type. Or maybe THEY had disowned her.

Okay, what were you thinking when you thought about THAT? he asked himself as he was sitting in the trailer he had been sitting throughout the trip. They were on the road again and heading for Tokyo. How can THEY have disowned HER? She's probably richer than them. He frowned. Baka! It's not always about money. They could have disowned her because she did something they weren't proud about.

In order to find out he would have to go looking for them. But he couldn't leave her side until he got what he wanted.

He made sure no one was listening before he took out his cell and dialed. It took a few rings before a familiar voice answered. "Is that you Inuyasha?"

"Hai Shippou-kun," he answered to the voice.

Kawaiikitsune Shippou was around the same age as Inuyasha and the nicest guy that you could come across. They had been childhood friends, Inuyasha and him, and did everything together. Shippou was the only person Inuyasha trusted (other than his dad).

"How's it going with your plan?" Shippou whispered because he knew where Inuyasha was, although he had no idea where he was exactly.

Inuyasha sighed. "Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. I talked to her today and she let slip that her family is doing something to her. Which is what this call is about."

"Let me guess then. You want me to find out about her family and see what's bugging her. If you know, then you can pretend like you guessed it and then you can get closer to her."

Inuyasha blinked several times. He never ceases to amaze me! "How the hell did you know?" he asked softly.

On the other side of the phone he heard Shippou make a noise as if saying "what a stupid question". "I know you too well Inuyasha. Nothing you say or do gets by me."

"Feh," Inuyasha grumbled in the way he had done since he was a kid. He had heard a servant use that word when he was trying to steal some food from the kitchen. But then that servant had died since he was human and this happened a few decades ago.

"But don't worry either way," Shippou continued. "I'll get the information you want. You know that I never fail."
"Arigatou Shippou-kun."

"No prob. Sayonara."

"Sayonara." Then he clicked the phone off and put it back in his pocket.

He grinned secretly. I just have to wait a little bit longer…Not too long now…

To be continued…

Woo hoo! Part 2 done!!! And in the last chapter I said that I didn't know how to plan this but I was finally able to figure it out. I also know who the killer of her family is but that won't be revealed for a while.

So I hope you like the fluffy moment between Inuyasha and Kagome. ^^ I know I did, and I WROTE it!!

So…PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!

P.S. From now on I AM not going to put an end note like I usually do. From now on it'll be blank so that when you finished reading, you can be left with whatever feeling you have by the end of the chapter. I found this quite effective. When you read and are shocked by something, but then read the end note, the feeling goes away. So from now on there is NO end note. Arigatou!!!
