Chapter 8:

It was Saturday! Best day of the week for Kagome.

Kagome decided to sleep in for a few hours, and so did Inuyasha.

After sleeping in...

Kagome woke up and looked at her clock. It was eleven in the morning.

"Perfect." Kagome said to herself. She got out of her bed, took a shower, and got dressed. Then she went to wake Inuyasha.

She looked around her room since she didn't know where he had decided to sleep last night. "Inuyasha?" Kagome called as she looked around her room, then she found him. He was sleeping at the top of her pillow. Kagome just stood there and stared at him for a few moments. "He looks so sweet when he's asleep." Kagome said. Then she saw his eyes open.

"What time is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Time to wake up." Kagome said as she picked him up. "Come-on. I'll make breakfast. Do you think you could eat a whole egg?" Kagome asked.

"Sure." Inuyasha replied as he sat himself on Kagome shoulder.

Kagome walked out of her room, down the steps, and into the kitchen. She got a frying pan out, two eggs, and cooking spray. "How do like your egg?" Kagome asked.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

"There's different ways to cook an egg depending on what you like. There's sunny side up, which is white with the yoke unbroken, or there's scrambled, which is the egg with the yoke broken and mixed with the whites." Kagome explained.

"I'll try, scrambled." Inuyasha replied.

"OK." Kagome said as she put Inuyasha on the table. "Just sit here, I don't want you to get burned." Then Kagome went to cooking breakfast.

She sprayed the pan and put two eggs in. She decided to make herself scrambled eggs too.

Inuyasha started sniffing the air. "What's that smell?" He asked as he made a disgusted look on his face.

"It's cooking spray." Kagome replied. "You have to spray it onto the pan so the eggs won't stink to the pan."

"Oh!" Inuyasha said, then noticed that the room started to fill with the scent of food. It smelled so good, and it made him hungry.

"Done!" Kagome said as she took two small plates and gave Inuyasha half of the eggs and she took the rest.

Inuyasha walked up to the eggs and took a small piece in his hands. He examined it. Then he smelled it.

Kagome had to laugh at the sight. "It doesn't have anything in it." Kagome giggled.

Inuyasha took a bite out of what he was holding. And to his surprise, it was better than it looked. "This is good." Inuyasha said.

After breakfast...

Kagome had to go to the mall, and was debating on whether it would be a good idea to take Inuyasha or not.

"You can't leave me here!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I will if I think it's best!" Kagome yelled back. She started to pace back and forth thinking.

"Why do I always have to stay?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"You're the size of my hand! I think someone would freak out if they saw you!" Kagome yelled.

"You're friends didn't freak out." Inuyasha replied.

"That's because they knew about you!" Kagome yelled.

Kagome stopped pacing; she had finally come to a conclusion. She picked up Inuyasha.

"Am I going?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome didn't answer. Instead, she just put Inuyasha in the terrarium. "I'll be back soon." Kagome said, then left.

At the mall...

"Kagome!" Yuka called. "Where have you been?! The show is about to start!"

"Sorry. Inuyasha was being a pain again." Kagome replied. "Is everyone else here?"

"Yeah. They're waiting for you out on stage." Yuka replied.

"OK." Kagome said as she walked out on stage.

Last night, a man had talked to Kagome and the rest of the band about performing a concert at the mall, and The Stars agreed. This was their first concert; they couldn't mess up. There were so many people waiting to here The Stars, and some record dealers were there too. This could be their big break!

Kagome got up on the stage and walked up to the microphone. "Hello everyone! I know you have been waiting for us, and thank you for your patients. Now, let's go!" Kagome said into the microphone.

Right in Front of You by Celine Dion

Kagome started to sing.

Life

It can twist your heart

Put you in the dark

I was cold a lonely

Doubt

It can close you in

Build the walls within

I let fear control me

I let go

Didn't know

Where the answer would be

Right in front of you

Right in front of me

We were looking

But somehow, some way

We couldn't see

That love was always there

It's been around us everywhere

I had to fall to finally see

That you were right in front me

Faith

It can lift you up

And we've got enough

To reach a new beginning

Love

Can withstand a storm

In the final hour

We'll find the joy of living

Don't let go

'Cause I know

Pretty soon you will see

Right in front of you

Right in front of me

We were looking

But somehow, some way

We couldn't see

That love was always there

It's been around us everywhere

I had to fall to finally see

That you were right in front of me

You are my tomorrow

There's safety in your arms

Where you go, I'll follow

'Cause you're the world where I belong

Right in front of you

Right in front of me

We were looking

But somehow, some way

We couldn't see

That love was always there

It's been around us everywhere

I had to fall to finally see

That you were right in front of me

The audience cheered for The Stars.

"Thank you!" Ayumi said into the microphone. "Now the next song we have in store for you is called Rain Tax!"

Kagome started singing.

I did not know there was a plan

Somewhere a perfect man

I don't believe in the stars

You smile at my pretense

As you broke down my defense

Just want to be where you are

Love ain't like fashion

The look remains the same

I'll wear your heart forever

But some things never change

All three girls started to sing

Like rain, tax

After lightening the thunder cracks

Sooner or later it had to come true

Like rain, tax

Weeds grow up through the pavement cracks

You see what I want

What I want is you

Ayumi started to sing

Through that life was logical

Love was a miracle

That happened to someone else, not me

Baby I must have said a little prayer

Suddenly I looked up, and you were there

And the rest is history

I don't want to be an island any more

Just resign yourself

'Cause there's one thing for sure

All three girls started to sing

Like rain, tax

After lightening the thunder cracks

Sooner or later it had to come true

Like rain, tax

Weeds grow up through the pavement cracks

You see what I want

What I want is you

Erie started to sing

It had to be you, it had to be you

Say you'll be there forever

You and me here together

When will you see what I want

What I want is you

All three girls sang

Like rain, tax

After lightening the thunder cracks

Sooner or later it had to come true

Like rain, tax

Weeds grow up through the pavement cracks

You see what I want

What I want is you

The audience continued to cheer louder and louder as the band sang more songs.

After the concert...

Kagome, Ayumi, Erie, and Yuka were about to leave when a man stopped them.

"Excuse me ladies?" The man said. "I was watching your concert back there and you were amazing!" He said.

"Thanks." Yuka said.

"Now." The man started. "I am the owner of a big time recording company, maybe you've heard of us, Marlyn records?"

"Oh my god!" Ayumi gasped. "Do want to give us a record deal?!"

"Actually, I do." The man said. "I'm Mr. Marlyn. Do you think I could meet you at the studio tomorrow?"

"Sure." Yuka said. "What time?"

"Around noon would be great." Mr. Marlyn said.

"We'll be there." Erie replied.

"Thank you." Mr. Marlyn said, then walked away.

"Can you guys believe this?! This is our big break!" Ayumi exclaimed.

Kagome just stood there in shock. She had never even imagined being famous.

At home...

It was dark out, and Kagome had just walked in the door.

"Hey Mom? I have an announcement." Kagome said. "Can everyone come to the kitchen for a few minutes?"

"Sure honey. I'll get everyone." Mrs. Higurashi said a bit nervously, wondering what the big news is.

Everyone was in the kitchen in minutes.

"Well what is this about Kagome?" Grandpa asked.

"Well..." Kagome started. "Today, as you know, me and my friends were doing a concert at the mall, and the guys who owns Marlyn record company has offered us a record deal." Kagome said as if it were nothing.

"Kagome!" Sota exclaimed. "Are you serious!?"

"I'm very serious. He wants to meet us at the record company tomorrow at noon." Kagome replied.

"Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi said with a smile. "Are you OK? You don't seem too excited about it."

"I'm just still getting over the shock of it all." Kagome replied. "I'm just gonna go to sleep." Kagome said as she walked up the steps.

"Kagome is going to be famous?" Sota asked.

"I guess so." Grandpa replied.

In Kagome's room...

Inuyasha had gotten out of the terrarium again with help from Sota and was fast asleep on Kagome's pillow.

Kagome picked him up and put him in his little bed on her desk. She was getting used to letting Inuyasha stay out now.

Then Kagome went back to her bed and just laid down and thought about everything that had happened. But it didn't take long for her to drift into slumber.

AN- OK. Well there's another day for Kagome. Now to figure out what I should have our favorite couple do tomorrow. I think I'm kinda ignoring Inuyasha a bit though. Hmmmm...
