The Life of a Star

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

Disclaimer: Simply put: Me no own. Just for fun. Got it? No sue either!

During a cold night, a concert was to take place. It would be the only one in that part of the city and he saw it as his only opportunity. So, ever so quietly, he walked towards a trailer, careful that no bodyguards were there to see him. And when he saw that there weren't any, he laughed silently to himself, wondering why there was such a lax on security.

He pressed his ear to the door, hearing for any sounds at all. He wasn't sure if she was there or not. He hadn't made sure before coming. If she was there, he would need to wait until she left. If she wasn't, then operation was go.

When he heard that she was indeed not there, he opened the door to her trailer. It was what he always imagined it to be: pink everywhere with lots of girly dresses and make-up. Just like a movie star.

Once he was done taking in the settings, he looked around for a glass of water. He reached up to push back some locks of black hair that had fallen over his eyes and finally spotted what he was looking for.

He grinned evilly…

Don't be nervous! Kagome scolded herself as she entered her trailer. Since when have you been nervous for a concert?

Truth be told, it wasn't the concert she was nervous about. There was a feeling that something was going to happen. Whether it be good or bad she didn't know.

Drink some water to calm your nerves. Water always seemed to calm her down in a way nothing else could. She didn't know why that was. Might have been that there was a lovely little stream that she could hear from her window. The sound always calmed her down after having a hectic day at school.

She looked around, hoping there was some nearby. "Aha!" she called out triumphantly when she spotted a glass on the table near the door. She went over to it and snatched the quickly, gulping all of the contests down her throat. It felt cool against her throat and she indulged in its refreshing taste.

When the glass was empty, she wiped her mouth and set it down. "Okay," she said, pumping her arms out and then getting into a "ready" fighting stance, like she had seen on the movie "Rocky". "I'm ready to go!"

As she walked out the door, she failed to notice when a fly came and perched itself on her glass. It took a few sips of what remained of her water…

…before it dropped dead…

She was a girl on a mission! She was powered up and ready to go! Nothing was going to stop her tonight! You might even say she was giving a certain baby with wings and a bow the day off and doing his job for one night, bringing together two of her best friends. This was going to be their night and she was going to make sure she was going to make it as special as possible.

Besides, they didn't suspect a thing and she was feeling a little evil tonight ^^.

With her hair styled, her best dress intended for a ball on (a flowing gown of white and silver with some gold), she grabbed the mike from where it lay on a pillow, ready for her to pick up, and walked off towards the stage.

She was ready. This was it. No turning back now.

Sango didn't know why but she felt something was going to happen. It was like a tiny prick of worry from the "trouble bee". She was also getting some chills down her back and all over her body. She decided it must be the cold wind of the night and hugged her leather jacket tighter to her body.

Miroku looked in Sango's direction, seeing how beautiful she looked in her brown jacket, black turtleneck, and tight jean pants. The night seemed a little cold for such a small and thin jacket. How much he wished he could go over there and drape his own warm jacket around her, like a boyfriend would do for his girlfriend. But alas, as long as he was as perverted as he was, she would never like him.

He sighed deeply and decided to watch Kagome's performance.

Yet he couldn't keep his eyes from straying and going towards a lovely girl with long black hair and a leather jacket…

The lights near the stage dimmed until they were gone completely. Everyone knew that this meant the concert was starting, so they hushed, but they knew they were going to yell out the minute the lights turned on again and Kagome appeared on the stage.

For some reason, the fog rolled over the stage, something Inuyasha noted with annoyance. This girl sure loved having fog on her stage.

The audience began to hear the noise of crickets, and since it was nighttime, they all assumed it came from around them. They couldn't really tell since the stage was so dark.

That's when Kagome began…

Kagome (sighing)

(Speaking) What's the matter with me? You'd think a girl would learn.

Kagome (now singing)

If there's a prize for rotten judgment

Then I guess I've already won that

No man is worth the aggravation

The this spotlight blasted on, full pink, showing Kagome sitting down on what looked like a stone bench. She was under an altar that was woven with roses and vines. Kagome stood up quickly, giving a large amount of umph to her performance.

Kagome

That's ancient history. Been there, done that.

Five more spotlights flashed on, revealing woman dressed in robes of different colors like purple and blues.

Women

Who ya think you're kidding?

He's the earth and heaven to ya

Kagome joined in then with her own long 'noooooo'.

Women

Try to keep it hidden

Honey, we can see right through ya

Girl, you can't conceal it

We know how you're feeling

And who you're thinking of

Kagome had now gotten off her bench and walked towards the roses, cupping one in her hand. Inuyasha, who was off at the side of the stage with the producer and stage people, thought she looked like a goddess in her dress and the roses all around her.

Kagome

No chance, no way

I won't say it no, no

Women

You swoon you sigh

Why deny it uh oh

Kagome was about to go into her next line, when she started feeling a little dizzy. Her words faltered a bit, coming out a little choked, but she quickly cleared her throat and continued.

Kagome

It's too cliché

I won't say I'm in love

Kagome walked away from the altar, this time going towards the front of the stage, when she felt her eyes become blurry. Her stomach was churning and the world began spinning. All the people playing instruments for her slowed their playing down, wondering what was going on.

Kagome's head was spinning and the loud noise was giving her a headache. She grabbed onto the stand for the microphone, trying to compose herself so she could continue with the concert, but it was too much.

The ground was coming at a fast speed to greet her…

Inuyasha had been watching the display with slight worry at first, wondering what was going on with her. He had seen how her steps were off and her voice was getting a little weird. He wasn't worrying about it too much at first, thinking it was probably because she was overworking herself.

That is, until he saw her collapse.

"KAGOME!!" he yelled, running towards her, hoping to catch her before she fell on the hard stage floor.

"KAGOME-CHAN!"

"KAGOME-SAMA!!"

Two pairs of voices filled the now-quiet audience, and everyone turned to see a boy and girl running full force towards the stage where Inuyasha was cradling a now-sick Kagome.

Inuyasha felt her forehead when he saw that she was sweating, despite the cold air of the night. She was also moaning and tightening her eyes as if in pain. He pulled his hand back and gasped. She's burning up! He looked up when he heard two pairs of feet on the stage and saw Kagome's two best friends approach her.

"Kagome-chan!" Sango yelled as she kneeled next to her best friend. She saw the look of pain over Kagome's face and felt a large wave of worry for her friend. She looked up at Inuyasha searching for an answer, any that would reveal itself on his face. All she saw though was the same worry. Except that there was something different about this look. Something Sango could barely see, but it was definitely there.

He cared about Kagome.

She marveled at this. In the short time she had known Inuyasha, she never would have thought he would show an interest in Kagome. She had figured he was like all those other boys who wanted her only for her money…before remembering that he was richer than her so there was no need. But then what could be the reason? He couldn't care for her just because of her. It didn't happen in the world where movie stars and famous singers rarely find TRUE love.

Miroku, being the only one who wasn't deep in thought, cupped a hand close to his hand and yelled out to the audience, "Someone call an ambulance!" That sent out practically all of them towards pay phones, and even many others to get cells out all at once, as if they had been synchronized. If the scene hadn't been so serious, it would have been funny to see the everyone pull them out all out once.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was protectively holding Kagome close, not wanting to let her go or let anyone else handle her except him. Sure, he would let Sango get close because she was a girl and Kagome's best friend, but not Miroku. Everytime Inuyasha would glare and growl slightly, forgetting for a second that he was supposed to keep his true form a secret. And everytime Miroku would look at Inuyasha with confusion. He didn't get why Inuyasha was being so overprotective.

It didn't take too long before everyone began to hear the faint sound of sirens off in the distance. And although Inuyasha knew that they were coming for Kagome to help her, he still felt slightly angry that soon she would be ripped from his arms. He didn't understand why he was caring so much all of a sudden. It wasn't as if he cared about this girl. All he wanted was the right information from her.

But if that were true…then why was he acting this way?

Once the ambulance arrived, two men in white and blue suits came out of the back, bringing with them a stretcher. They dashed through the split crowd as fast as they could while two more came out of the front, bringing with them IV fluid so they could inject it into Kagome's veins.

When they arrived, they carefully moved Inuyasha back, in too much of a hurry to notice who he was. If they had, they wouldn't have pushed at all. However, with how Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off Kagome, he probably wouldn't have noticed anyway.

They hauled Kagome onto the stretcher and ran back towards the ambulance, knowing that every second was precious and every second they wasted, was one with Kagome closer to death.

Inuyasha-tachi all followed, wanting to be with Kagome on her way towards the hospital. They wanted to give her all the support they could.

Inuyasha faced one of the nurses, total defiance on his face. It was a look that read, 'if you say no, I'll give you a bloody nose'. "I'm going with her."

"Us too," Sango replied, standing her ground with Miroku by her side. They didn't want to abandon Kagome in her time of need.

The nurse argued over this. "Only one person can go with her. No more."

Inuyasha was going to reply how stupid that was since there was clearly enough room for all of them (it was a large ambulance car) when Sango beat him to the punch. "Inuyasha'll go. Miroku and I will follow in his car." Although she had said they were going to stand their ground, she could see that Inuyasha going was best. She didn't know why. It was just a feeling.

Inuyasha looked at her in confusion at first, wondering what she was up to and why she was giving up her place by Kagome's side since they were best friends, but decided to just smile as a thank you. He ran ahead and climbed into the ambulance, making a grab for Kagome's hand the second he got in there. It felt colder than normal, while at the same time she was burning up with a fever.

They rode away while her fans prayed for Kagome's safety.

Meanwhile, Miroku was standing with this unbelieving look on his face, wondering what the heck had just happened when Sango offered Inuyasha her place in the ambulance. He turned to look at her but she cut him off, knowing that eventually he was going to ask. "He likes her, though he doesn't realize it," she replied bluntly, saying it in such a calm voice that scared Miroku.

"What?!" he exclaimed, not getting anything anymore. He hadn't really expected her to say something like that. "How can you tell?"

"I saw it in his eyes."

Shippou sat on the bed in the room Asaka had given him, staring out at the beautiful scenery before him. The rain of a few days ago was giving life to the tree he had been trying to talk to, but everytime he listened, it kept saying the same thing. He couldn't seem to get anymore information from it.

Not only was he frustrated about that, but he was also frustrated with himself. Ever since he had laid eyes on her, she wouldn't leave his mind, even when he was trying to do what Inuyasha asked of him. He felt like he was hungry and the only food he wanted was her. It was strange and unnerving to think about.

A light tap brought him back to the here and now. He jumped slightly and called out, "Who is it?" before mentally hitting himself, knowing there wouldn't be anyone else who would knock.

"It's me," a muffled voice from the other side of the door called, "Asaka. Are you okay Shippou-san? You've been a little weird the past few days."

Not wanting to worry her, he called back. "I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

She didn't say anything for a while, but with his good hearing he was able to pick up a light sigh. "Okay. Well, dinner's ready if you want it."

"I'll be right down."

When he was sure she was gone, he released the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. Yup. Things were definitely strange and he didn't know how to deal with them.

He just wished he could figure it all out before it ate him up inside.

The night was cold and it was getting late. Not many stores were open anymore, and all the business on Main Street were closing as well, the employees ready to go home and relax for the night. It was a good thing it was Sunday tomorrow, the day off for most people. They were so relieved about it they could cry.

A man in a very snappy suit and holding a briefcase opened the glass door that led to the parking lot, his face emotionless yet with some joy. He had succeeded in today's duties and was willing to do it again the next day. But of course that was out of the question since no one would be working. So he decided he would spend his own day off and just read a classical novel by the fire.

It was so nice to have the house to himself, with no pesky half-brother to bother him. Granted, he wasn't THAT annoying, and he cared for his little brother, but it was a breath of fresh air that he was gone for a while, supposedly looking for something his mother had wanted him to protect.

Which reminded him. He needed to make a stop at the hospital tomorrow. His father had recently gotten sick, leaving him in charge of the family business. He thought it weird that his father had suddenly gotten ill. His father was the healthiest man (*snicker*) on the planet. He needed to investigate on that one. He was pretty sure someone was out to kill his father.

As he was pulling his keys out and about to unlock the door to his black Chrysler convertible, he heard a strange click, like someone getting a gun ready to fire. He turned around and came face to face with someone all in black, and wearing a "Scream" mask. In the stranger's hand was a silencer, a good gun if you wanted to murder someone.

The young business man, Sesshoumaru, heir to the family business and older brother to Inuyasha, growled deep in his throat. "Who're you?"

"The last face you'll see in this lifetime." This mysterious person hid it's voice well with one of the "voice changing boxes", though Sesshoumaru didn't know that.

Sesshoumaru poised, ready to attack…

To be continued it part 7…hehehe…
