Chapter 18- The Phone Number
.
.
'They want... me?'"Are you sure it's me they want?" Kagome asked.
The woman smiled. "I know this is a little over whelming for you, but trust me, it's the chance of a lifetime. You have great talent, an electric personality, beauty, and you're willing to work hard for it. You could be the next diva!"
She blushed slightly. "Can it wait until I graduate college? It's only a few weeks away."
"Certainly."
She looked over the contract, resting her head on her wrist, the other hand tapping the pencil nervously. It was so quiet in the room she could her own heartbeat in her ears. She had told Sango and Miroku that she'd lock up the club tonight, nearly fainting out when she had realized that this one woman would give her a lifetime of fame and fortune. But for some reason the quiet made her feel like she was selling her soul.
"I'll... have to think about it," Kagome said, "I have a lot of things to think about."
"Of course," said the music producer, "I'll be in Tokyo until the end of the week. You have my cell phone number."

"How long has he been asleep?" Kagura asked.
"'Bout an hour," Rin replied.
'So, he does sleep.' Kagura smirked as she waved a hand in front of his face. Sesshoumaru remained dormant, his head resting on his folded arms, several papers and folders laid on his desk.
"Rin, put on your shoes, we're going to the park," Kagura said. The little girl went out of the room. The woman kneeled down so she was face to face with him, a small smile evident on her face as she watched him sleep.
"You need a vacation," she whispered, removing a stray lock of hair from his face, "consider this a favor, but don't get used to it."

Kagome stared at the phone from across the room. In her hand, sat the card the music producer had given her, slightly damp from her sweaty palms. She stood up, walking towards the phone sitting on her desk. she subconsciously looked down at the card in her hand, the phone number already instilled in her memory.
"Kagome?"
She turned towards the doorway as her mother stepped into the room. She gave her mother a soft, half-hearted smile.
"Is something wrong?" her mother asked," your congratulatory party is waiting downstairs."
"I'll be down in a minute mom, I just need to make a phone call," Kagome replied. Her mother noted her daughter's trembling hand as it reach for the phone. She looked at her daughter worriedly. "There's something wrong, isn't there Kagome?"
"What could possibly be wrong?" Kagome asked, "by the end of this week, I'll be on a plane to Kyoto and by this time next year-"
"I'm not talking about the job offering Kagome, you know that."
Kagome froze.
"It's about Inuyasha again, isn't it?"
"O-of course not," Kagome stuttered, "we're just... friends."
"I've seen you two together, Kagome," her mother replied, "I still see you two walking down the street, talking and laughing. You're always so happy around him. But then, suddenly, you stop and turn away from him. You look so broken."
"I still love him, Mom," Kagome whispered, "I know i shouldn't, but I do."
. .
. .
Kagura sat down on a nearby bench as Rin went off to the playground. She watched as the little girl ran to a group of girls, more than likely friends from school. Her attention was deterred as she heard her cell phone ringing. She dug through her purse, reminding herself to clean it out, pulling out the cell phone. 'Anonymous?'
"Kagura..."
She froze as the voice rang in her ears.
"Naraku."
She couldn't see him on the other end of the line, but somehow knew he was smirking on the the other end. "... What do you want?"
"I've heard you've done well for yourself, working for one of the most important business men in Tokyo, yo also happens to be a threat to my company."
"Dammit Naraku!" she cursed, "you said you'd let me off the hook after the last job."
"But you didn't kill him."
"You told me to shoot Inuyasha, you didn't say kill him."
"Don't change the subject, Kagura. I want Sesshoumaru Takashi annihilated, permanently."

Okay, let's recap:
1) Kagome got a record deal. 2) Naraku wants Kagura to kill Sesshoumaru. 3) I just turned fourteen two weeks ago. (just to remind you)
I've got the whole story completed, so the story will now be updated weekly.
