BoyHojou- Kag,
BoyHojou- I love Akani, we need to break up . . .
MistressKag- Hey Hojou, I totally get it, I knew you loved her . . .sigh, just, let's keep being friends
BoyHoujou - thanks Kag
MistressKag- Good night then
Kagome turned off the Pc and wiped her fresh tears from her pretty blue eyes. She stood up and looked in the closet for a scrunchie and tied her hair in a loose ponytail. She sighed and looked at the clock. It was 10:55 PM. She went to the phone and called her best friend.
"Oh Sango," Kagome cried as she heard her best friend answer the phone.
"Kags, what's the matter?" Sango asked worriedly over the other end of the phone.
"Sango, he told me he loved Akani! Why, Sango? We got along just fine, he said he loved me!"
"Aw, Kagome . . . Common, he's just not the right one for you. Now stop crying! You need to be strong."
"All right, Sango." Kagome sighed. "I'll see you in school tomorrow, ok?"
After saying goodnight to Sango, Kagome quietly opened the door and tiptoed to the kitchen. The cold wood floor made Kagome shiver as she opened the fridge and got out a container of vanilla ice cream and picked up a clean spoon from the sink.
'Vanilla ice cream always made me feel better.' Kagome thought as more tears escaped her eyes. 'Gee, Hojou,' she thought bitterly, as she looked out the window and into the darkness of the night. 'All of this torment and I've never even seen you.'
Kagome stirred with the first rays of sunlight. All that crying had giving her a massive headache. She walked over to the bathroom cabinet and took out some pills. After brushing her teeth and taking a quick shower, she dressed in a pair of navy sweats and a white T-Shirt. She put on her running shoes, tied her waist-length raven hair into a neat ponytail and grabbed her navy blue blazer as she walked into her small kitchen. She lived in a tiny apartment, very close to the Central Park. It had the necessities: a small room, a small bathroom, a tiny kitchen, a living room and a balcony. The apartment next to Kagome's was empty, but there was a door that was kept locked that joined both apartments together.
She ate a piece of toast and a glass of orange juice. After washing the dirty cup and putting everything to its place, she walked out the apartment and locked the door. She almost smacked herself in the forehead. 'Duh. Kagome,' she thought, as she unlocked the door again and looked for her backpack, 'you're not going to school without this.' After getting her things in order, Kagome walked down the stairs and went out of the building. The street was already filled with cars, mostly taxis. She grimaced as the honking made her headache slightly more annoying. She looked at the clock in the bus stop: 7:30 A.M., which meant she had 30 more minutes to get to campus. She jogged down the sidewalk, avoiding people and crossed the street. She walked a quarter of a mile and got to campus.
The NYU was one of the most prestigious universities in the states. She had gotten there thanks to her singing and musical talent. Her best friend, Sango, had gotten in thanks to her musical talent with the piano. She was also a great athlete. She ran track and jogged two miles everyday. Kagome smiled sadly as she spotted Sango Turner in the distance. She was wearing fuchsia sweats, a pink T-Shirt, and she had a fuchsia blazer too. They hugged each other, and then Sango spoke first.
"You Ok?" she asked, and Kagome nodded.
"Honto-yo. You better believe it! Now, let's go before we're late." Kagome said, and the two of them walked over the building.
It was 11:50 A.M., and that meant Lunch Break. Kagome and Sango went into the cafeteria and ordered Turkey Sandwiches with diet soda. They sat down and began eating.
"What did Professor Jenkins give you?" Kagome asked Sango, after sipping her soda.
Sango's happy mood seemed to 'magically' disappear. "He gave me a –B! God, I did a much better job than that Kikyou, and she got a A!" She glared over at the table where Kikyou was sitting with her little popular group. Kagome scoffed. 'She's only popular because she's rich.' Kagome thought, and then bit into her sandwich again. 'Jealousy is a bad thing.' She scolded herself and finished her sandwich with a contended sigh. Kagome felt someone sit beside her and grinned. "Can't stay away from us, can you Miroku?"
Miroku Walker pretended to be hurt. Kagome stole a glance at him. He had a black shirt with the Quicksilver logo and black jeans. His shiny chains hanged from his black leather belt. He had black Converses on and his short black hair was tied into a small ponytail, along for spike bands in his wrists. His brown eyes sparkled with mischief and Kagome made a note to watch out for his wandering hand. "What do you want, Miroku?" Sango asked irritated, but Kagome knew better. Her friend had a huge crush on Miroku, even if she wouldn't admit it. "Hey, so Miroku you ready for tonight?" Kagome asked him, and he nodded. "We've got the band psyched and ready. I'm picking you up, right?" he asked, and Kagome nodded. "Sango, Kouga, Sesshoumaru, you and me." Kagome counted off with her fingers. "All accounted for, Boss."
Kagome turned around and smiled. The bassist, Kouga Wolfe, smiled at her and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. She blushed a bit, but recovered. "Nanka kawatta-koto atta? What's up?" she asked, as he stole a seat besides hers. "Pretty good, all riled up for the big night." he answered, and stole a sip from her soda. Kagome laughed and slapped his arm playfully. He grinned at her. "Ok then, guys. See you tonight." He waved at them, and left. "See, Kagome," Sango commented, "That's the kind of guy you need." Kagome laughed again, and stood up. "Me and Kouga?" she asked. "We're just VERY good friends."
------------------------
Kagome finished applying her black eyeliner and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She had blond rays on her hair that Sango had done herself. Her lips were a pale pink and her nails were painted with a shiny coat of black nail polish. She has a black long sleeved shirt with a red 'X' marked on her right sleeve and two red stripes on the front. She had a red skirt, kind of like the type a ballerina would wear, that reached her knees and black leather boots just a few inches below the end of her skirt. She wore a few silver rings and a simple black necklace.
Sango was dressed into a simple black dress with no sleeves that was knee length. She had black gloves that left her fingers in the open and black boots with Scottish print socks. It was simple, but it looked great on her. She let her black hair down, and she even dyed the ends a blood red. She also had black polish and black eyeliner. Kagome gave her thumbs up and smiled at her reflection. They headed downstairs, where Kouga was waiting for them. They got into his black BMW and he drove them to the club. "You look great Kagome." Kouga murmured and she blushed again. She gave him a small smile and got out of the car.
She went in with Sango and met up with Miroku backstage. "You look great, Sango" he complimented and then looked at Kagome. "Wow, my cousin's sure growing up!" he exclaimed, and I laughed as he made his way to the drums. She saw a silver head with amber eyes and instantly knew he was Sesshoumaru, the guitarist. She waved and he nodded, and walked over to his place. She also saw Kouga take his instrument and start tuning it. I let out a sigh and sat on the stool placed on the center of the stage. Sango stood with a guitar in hand.
I held my breath as the announcer began the show and announced their name, but Kagome was too nervous to hear him as the crowd applauded politely and the curtains opened. Sesshoumaru started the song with his delicate notes and Miroku followed after him, softly playing his part on the drums. It was my turn to sing.
"I couldn't tell you why she felt that way, she felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her, I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What's wrong, what's wrong now? Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs."
-Sesshomaru played again and Kouga played the bass, Miroku still playing softly.-
"She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside."
-Kouga stopped playing the bass and Sango began playing the melody again.-
"Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why . . .
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now. Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs."
-Sesshoumaru played his guitar again and Kouga started the bass again-
"She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside."
-Sesshoumaru stopped playing and only Miroku's soft playing could be heard, along with Sango's guitar-
"Her feelings she hides. Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind. She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place. She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace. She's all over the place.
Yeah, oh . . ."
-Sesshoumaru and Kouga joined Miroku and Sango in one last chorus-
"She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside."
"She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah . . .
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah . . ."
The song ended and the crowd cheered and applauded. Kagome smiled as some people even stood up. There were some, however, who were sitting in dark corners staring attentively at Kagome. She met a guy's stare and almost gasped. The man had amber eyes and silver hair that flowed around him. Kagome thought he could pass for Sesshoumaru's brother.
-Sango plays a soft, sad tune on the piano-
"Ah ah ah ah, Ah ah ah ah . . .
I'm giving up on everything, because you messed me up
Don't know how much you screwed it up
You never listened, that's just too bad
Because I'm moving on, I won't forget
You were the one that was wrong
I know I need to step up and be strong
Don't patronize me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah . . ."
- Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Kouga start, Sango stops-
"Have you forgotten everything that I wanted?
Do you forget it now?
You never got it
Do you get it now?"
-Miroku and Kouga stop playing, Sesshoumaru keeps playing and Sango too-
"Yea yea yea yea yea . . .
Yea yea yea yea yea . . ."
-Sango keeps on, Sesshoumaru stops-
"Ah ah ah ah . . .
Ah ah ah ah . . ."
- Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Kouga start again-
"Gotta get away
There's no point in thinking about yesterday
It's too late now; it won't ever be the same
We're so different now
Yea yea yea yea yea . . . "
"Have you forgotten everything that I wanted?
Do you forget it now?
You never got it
Do you get it now?"
- Sesshoumaru and Miroku start their parts, with a violin player in the background-
"I know I wanna run away
I know I wanna run away, run away
If only I could run away
If only I could run away, run away
I told you what I wanted I
I told you what I wanted, what I wanted
But I was forgotten
I won't be forgotten, never again . . . "
"Have you forgotten everything that I wanted?
Do you forget it now?
You never got it
Do you get it now? Do you get it know?"
"Have you forgotten everything that I wanted?
Do you forget it now?
You never got it
Do you get it now? Have you forgotten? Do you get it now?"
"Forgotten
Yeah yeah yeah . . .
Forgotten
Yeah yeah yeah . . .
Forgotten
Yeah yeah yeah . . .
Forgotten
Yeah yeah yeah . . ."
The crowd cheered and applauded enthusiastically. Everyone gave high fives and most of the clients stood up to give an encore. Kagome smiled and waved to the crowd. It seemed their big break had finally arrived. As soon as they got off stage, an agent came forward. They'd even scheduled a date to discuss the details, but everyone seemed to approve. This was a very famous agent who represented only the biggest stars. Kagome, Kouga, Sesshoumaru along his girlfriend Kagura, Miroku and Sango sat together at the table eating some dinner and the men hanged out at the bar afterwards.
It was around 2 A.M. when the band left the club. They all went their separate ways, except for Sango who left with Miroku and Kagome who left with Kouga. While in the car, Kouga and Kagome chattered happily about the show. When they got to the apartment building, Kagome gave Kouga a quick kiss on the cheek and got out of the car. She waved goodbye and then made her way to the apartment. She took her show clothes off and out on some comfortable boy shorts and an over-sized T-Shirt.
She walked over the fridge and poured herself a glass of water. Fortunately, she hadn't drunk much, so she knew she wouldn't have a huge hangover. She wasn't very hungry, so she had an apple. She walked to her small bathroom and turned on the light. She brushed her teeth, took another shower and removed the make-up from her face and the nail polish. She brushed her long, raven and blonde curls and hid under the cool covers. "Uso-mitai." she whispered. "This is too good to be true . . ."
She was asleep before her head hit the pillow.
