Summary: [AU-Inu-Kag/others] I'm Mikos' manager, but I also wanted to shine. And I would do what ever I need to get the top. Why? 'Cause I hate being compared to dear perfect twin: Kikyou.

Dark Purify
Chapter two: In my Hands
In the last Chap…
I heard them whisper some, and a hitting could be heard. Then next thing I knew, the eight of us were heading to the summer house in the same plane…
The chap:
We were heading to the plane. Right. Strangeness truly happens. First, I was mad at the jerk since he laughed at my job. Not that I like it. Second, the eight of us were heading to the plane…
"Hey Sango! Where are you guys sitting?" I asked. She was sending glances to Miroku, or better, she was sending glares to him. I giggled at that.
"I have seat 16. The window" She answered looking at her plane ticket… The other's also took the tickets and answered
"I have 14. Not the window" I heard Rin say. Strange, why didn't they get seats near them? She was in the other part…
"I have 17. Also the window" Now, that sounded like Ayame. They were almost together…wait…!!
"Who bought the tickets, Sango?" Please don't tell it was…
"Why? Miroku"… Him. That explains all…
"Now, Miroku, tell me. Where are you sitting?" I asked sugary, so sugary that sounded like medicine. Not good.
"I…er...I got seat 15" He said looking rather uncomfortable at his ticket. I heard Sango sigh. Poor her.
"I got 13, the window" I heard Sesshoumaru. I was perplexed how his voice sounded, so mature… Rin was blushing so mad…
"Danm it! I didn't get the window! I got 18" Kouga said looking disappointed, I guess I was surprised, why was Ayame smiling...? Oh! She must like him!!
"hey, Kouga. We can change after a time. If you want" Ayame offered. He smiled and muttered a thanks.
"And you Kags?" Rin asked out of no where. I didn't know either; Kikyou was the one who bought it. Then I looked.
"I'm near you guys. I have seat 19. Not the window" I needed to frown at that one. Kikyou must know I like the window… Always when I ride I got the window. How unfair.
"What seat, wench?" The jerk asked me, I'll ignore him. I'm not a wench!
"Hey, wench. Don't ignore me!" la-la-la can't hear you!!
"I got seat 20. I hate the window, so, can we change?" hu? When was he so nice? Maybe that's why Kikyou didn't get the window…
"Oh. Ok I guess. Thanks" I needed to smile at that one. It was the first time he was nice to me. Hey, since when do I care? I saw he was getting red.
"Hey, are you felling ok?" I touched his heard. It was normal. But he was redder.
"Hey, InuYasha, why don't we change seats?" Kouga. No please InuYasha, sorry, jerk!! Don't change please!! I gave him a pleading look.
"No" Uff, that was close. I'll thank him later.
"Why not? You were the one who send her death glares…" noooo!! Get that idea out of your head!!
"I just don't think Ayame will like" He knew she liked him? Ok, that's not sure, but hey! Why embarrass her in front of everyone? I'll punch him later as well!
"I mean, I sleep in the plane. And I snore. Loud. So yeah. And like you said, I'm the one who hates the wench, not you. So this is the perfect time to tease her" Yay! Great exit!!... Wait, what he said?
"Tease me? Humph" I turned my back to him
"Guys, we are here. The guy is waiting for your ticket Kagome" I heard Miroku said.
When I looked at the guy, he had chocolate hair and blue eyes. He was wearing black pants and a black sweater. Plane employer.
"Miss, your ticket" He said so gentle…
"Oh sorry, hehe. Here thanks" I gave him the ticket blushing. He smiled at me. I gave a glace to his sweater, and saw a tag with the name: Hojo. He looked at my ticket and then showed me the way inside.
"Have a nice fly, Miss Higurashi" He smiled and waved at me
"Thanks, nice day Hojo" I smiled and waved back. I found our seats, and went to the window. Some time passed. And I saw them come. People were also coming. When I finished putting my bags up, I saw InuYasha coming with a very bad mood. Speck of mood swings… I seated in seat 20, his. I looked at the window and saw that we were still on land…
"Get out" I heard the jerk say. I looked up and sent him a questioning glance.
"What?"
"Get out. That seat is mine" Hu? Didn't he say I could seat here?
"Wait. You said we could change the seats!" I remember that!
"Can you prove it?" Prove? He also said it was ok.
"Fine! Jerk" I moved to my seat. How rude. He said we could change. He said he didn't like the window!! Grr..!! He just ignored me and seated. He didn't look in the window, just straight.
"Hey Sango, how many minutes do we have until we leave?" I put my head up, I found her with a pillow already…She was going to sleep now...? Then I saw she was putting that as a protection anti-Miroku. I laughed a little at that one.
"We have like 15 minutes" She answered me. I forgot I could see by my own. Hehe.
"Then I'll go and buy a snack for me. I won't take long, someone wants to come?" I asked to the rest.
"I'll go if you want Kags. While you were dealing with InuYasha about the seat thing, I got my stuff." I heard Ayame telling me. They already did? Wow, how didn't I realize that?
"Then it's ok. I'll go by myself. Does anyone want something?" I asked. No one said a thing. So I headed to the door. I told the airplane girl that I would be back just a minute. She nodded and I went out. I saw Hojo taking tickets from other person.
I got to the snack place. I asked for water and some grape bubblegum. When I was going to pay, I saw that I forgot my money!
"Please, I forgot my money. I'll get it. I'll be right back, ok?" I said to the girl in the cash register.
"Yes, I'll wait" I thanked her and run all the way to the plane. I told the airplane girl what happened. She told me she could wait for just five minutes. I hurried inside, and started to look to my stupid purse,
"Kags? What happened?" I heard Sango asking…Where was the money??
"I forgot my money. And I'm looking for my purse!!" I found it! It was near the window, in another words, near InuYasha.
"I'll be right back!"
I hushed to the sack place. While taking for money, a paper falls. It was a rather strange note:
Buy me Ramen
What? Oh whatever.
"Please, could you give me 2 ramen?" She nodded and handed me the ramen. I paid for it and rushed to the plane. I almost tripped!!
The airplane girl was there with the door almost closed! I was almost left behind!! I thanked her and went to my seat.
"What took you so long?" Rin asked me
"I was buying this" I took the ramen from the plastic bag "Who asked for this?" no one answered. I sighed at this…
Half an hour had passed. It was really boring. I was talking to Sango, when the airplane girl came mad lecturing us we shouldn't speak loud or stand, like me…I already read the magazines I had. I forgot my Discman needed new battery.
I started looking to my new friends….
Sango and Miroku were sleeping. How unfair. I wish I could sleep…But every time I didn't. Maybe was because I always slept more in the morning…Also I have this little problem I really don't like when I sleep…
I looked at Rin and the jerks brother. I think Rin and Sesshoumaru changed seats because Rin was in the window…How nice to have someone to change seats…Unlike others…glares at the jerk.
Rin was looking at the window, while Sesshoumaru was sleeping. When Rin decided that the clouds weren't funny, she took a teen magazine. Those magazines that's all about actors, actresses and the relationship between rich and famous people. Kikyou was in the cover again… Figures… After some minute, Sesshoumarus' head leaned on Rin's shoulder!! How cutie!! She just blushed. Really, she doesn't take advantage?? Wait, me neither!!
Ayame was sharing a discman with Kouga. I think it was Kouga's discman. Ayame would have forgotten her, she's so clumsy. But still, the two of them humming together the song they both liked… How romantic!
sigh Nothing to do. Half an hour is gone and there's left an hour. What to do? What to…
"Do you want to change?" I heard the jerk though my 'what to do' thinking
"Hu?" was the only thing I could say… Figures…
"If you can't listen, let me tell you: w-o-u-l-d y-o-u l-i-k-e"
"I got it already! You don't need to spell it!" I shouted at him. Then, I sand up, but he also stood up.
And two people wanting to stand up and change seats get attention.
In a minute or so, the same airplane girl came and ordered us to seat. She then left. I was trying to pass to the window. But the space was really small for the two of us.
In the end, we both mixed up and I fall…guess where? Yes, I was right on top of the jerk.
It was a miracle that no one noticed this. I tried to get up but couldn't. I could hear InuYasha heart beat…His chest was so comfortable and protective…Kagome in daydream land
"Hey wench! Get up" whoa! I was still in the jerks chest!! He was whispering…His hot breath made me shiver…
I-I…. it feels so comfortable…. SNAP OF IT Kagome!!!
"Hey Kagome get out!" He whispered my name so soft…
Oh God!! What was I thinking?? Snap, snap, snap!!
"Would you get out??" I hard him whisper again… Then it hit me why was he whispering…If one of our friends found out about our 'position' they would tease and blackmail us…
"I can't get out!! I've tried already!!" I hissed quietly looking at those golden eyes of him… So lost…
He sighed and looked at my eyes… I held my breath… His hands came to my wrist…What is he doing?? I'm so blushing!
"…What are you doing??" I whispered mad at him when his hands locket my wrist "Are you becoming a Miroku?? Take that perverted hands of there!!" I was so red that I could be mistaken by a tomato!! But, to my surprise, when his hands started to move, I was standing up… I felt so stupid…
"…Sorry…And…umm Thanks" I didn't look at him, I was still red. All I could do was look at the clouds…I eyed him secretly and he was sleeping…How cute…
Like I don't enjoy looking at the some white shaped clouds, I decided to sing softly my new song… It amazed me that it wasn't what I normally sang… It wasn't really a black music for the clubs…
"Here I am beside myself again
I'm torn apart by words that you have said
All in all, I know we're falling apart
Where did you run to so far away?"
"Where…did you run so far away?" I whispered that again… No… that won't fit… maybe I'll just say the last verse once… I continued singing with my eyes closed trying to remember what I wrote the last week… If only I had my music notebook…
"And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are, asleep against the window pane
Just like always"
"And there you are, asleep against the window pane" I started to daze off…Yesterday I sang till three in the morning and the bitch woke me like eight in the morning so I could tell her what to pack…
"…just…like…always" I totally black out… I think I slept really good… Since when did the airplane have such a nice pillow?
……
I woke up really cozy… I woke up and found my head leaned on the jerks shoulder!! Eepp!!
I tried really hard not to blush, but, the problem was: he wasn't sleeping!! Oh my God oh my God oh my god!! What did I do?? I sleep talk!! Shit! I couldn't have said anything, could I??
I acted that I didn't see him… I took my head from his shoulder, drank some water, found a brush. I brushed my hair, it wasn't really messed, but I couldn't think of anything so the jerk wouldn't talk to me… When I finished brushing my hair, I leaned on the seat… The jerk was more comfortable…
S-N-A-P!
"You sing really beautiful" I froze. He talked to me!! What would he say about me sleeping on his shoulder??
"You… heard me?" I really don't like when people hear me singing. Not when I'm out of the club…
"Yes, when I was 'sleeping'…" Oh gosh!! He wasn't asleep?? How could I be so dumb??
"I…err…thanks" I gave him a small smile then continued "and…umm…sorry about…umm" I was so totally red!! Why that happens only to me??
"About the sleeping on my shoulder?" I had my head down…I nodded. How embarrassing!! No fair!
"No problem…Your jasmine scent is nice…"…………………… wait…rewind……There I go again, blushing madly… I think that's a routine now…
"I um…thanks" I looked at the window again…And there was the same white clouds…
"Where did you learn to sing?" I heard him out of the blue…
"I learned when I was…" When Kikyou said she could sing, that was fourteen… I heard the teacher telling and lecturing her about the notes and song rules…
"When I was fourteen…Kikyou was learning to sing, so I had to be there with her. I learned as well…But that she doesn't know…" Ups, to much information!!
"I see…Why don't you become a singer?" Because…I'm already?
"I…it's because my mother don't like the idea of the twin sharing, especially when the twin is Kagome. I think she's afraid the bitch would hate her and not pay her stuff…" Ups!! Why do I keep telling him this stuff??
"And you guys? How will you enter the summer house?" I tried to change topics…Thank God he didn't comment about my last answer…!
"We are heading to the band and music competition…" He said still not looking at me…
"The BMC?"
The BMC was a contest that was hold once three years. Only people from fifteen years old could join. You'd stay a month in the summer house and singing would be every night, and it would last until you could handle. I just saw one, when I was fifteen. Kikyou never joined BMC. She said that it was for beginners…
In fact it was. In the BMC, you would sing, if people liked, you'd stay more. If you win the final, the BMC would help the band or singer in the career. Also would give opportunity for interviews, singing in the summer house for more than a month, and a trip to Sydney, Australia!!
"Yes"
"You can sing??" The jerk could sing?? When did that happen?
"No. I play the guitar. Well, I have this special music I sing…Ayame sings, while Sango and Rin do the background, but they also have a solo for them and they some times act like a fan or dance… Miroku is also in the guitar while Kouga is in the piano…" Wow! I didn't know Ayame could sing…
"Piano?" Why would guitar music need piano?
"We have, at least, eight music that are romantic…So Ayame kind wanted piano in her solo…" wow!
"And Sesshoumaru?" He didn't mention him...
"He's our manager"
"How old is he?"
"19. I know it's really young, but he's really smart…" ohhh
"What's the name of your--"
"What would you like to have?" The same airplane girl came …
"I'll have a cheese sandwich and an orange juice" I said to her and thanked her…I heard the jerk telling the girl…
"Can you give me some hot water, fork and a pepsi?" …hot water??...The girl also thought it was strange but smiled and kept asking what the people want.
I tried to ask again what were the band name, but the food came. While I was eating the jerk just stared at me. What?
"What? Do you want some?" I asked showing my sandwich…
"The ramen"……………………
"Oh! So it was you who asked for the ramen! Here" I took the ramen from the plastic bag and gave him. He just took it and started to put the hot water on the ramen. After some minutes, he was eating it…
"Your welcome" I said under my breath. How rude! I finished eating… I looked at my wrist watch; half an hour to go!
I looked at Rin and Sesshoumaru…They were talking…Maybe about the BMC? Rin laughed a little…I needed to turn from them…In this world of memories, strangers are left behind… ( --that phrase isn't mine!)
Miroku and Sango finished sleeping and went back to sleep…They surely sleep when they have the time…hehe the pillow anti-Miroku was still there! Maybe I should get to know more about this relation between them… And if Sango likes Miroku and he likes her back, I'd play the cupid!
Ayame left the Discman and was showing some stuff to him…Wonder what that could be…Kouga was really impressed. He also left the Discman so he could talk to her!! If Kouga take that 'you're my woman' from his head, I'd make them a couple!! Just you wait!
Fifteen minutes of boredom…What could I do…?
Then I remembered I still don't know the name of their band!!
"Hey, jerk what's…" I looked at him and he was totally sleeping… How cute! Well…Let him sleep…I'd continue with my singing…
"You said you like to hear the rain sometimes
And all I can do is tell you the truth
and Oh, my eyes will tell you the same"
"My eyes will tell you the same"……The eyes…Why my eyes aren't like mom or Kikyou? Not that I don't like the ocean blue…It's just that it's weird that I don't have the same eyes as my fraternal twin…
"And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are, asleep again
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are, asleep again
And here I am, beside myself again"
Yes…beside myself again…Maybe I'll be alone all my life…All the friends I had, Kikyou took them away…When she make's a bad deal, I need to be there, so she can blame me… What a crazy life… She could just leave me alone! But she can't even pack by herself…
She can't never know about InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Sesshoumaru and specially Ayame and Rin…She'd take them away from me once more…I wish I could fight for my friends… Maybe if I talked to mother, she'd allow me to 'keep' them…just for me…
Who I'm trying to lie? Mother will never disobey a rule from the bitch… Then, I'll keep them secretly… She can't talk out what she doesn't know…Yes! That is what I'll do! She doesn't know about them!
"Kagome! Quit daydreaming!" I hear Rin tell me…I was in the plane!
"Yes…sure…are we on land?" I asked still sleepy…
"Obvious! And, we are here five extra minutes! So get that lazy ass of there wench!!" The jerk actually shouted at me…I kicked his legs. Ha! Poor you!
We left the plane, waited like fifteen minutes so the guards could have a look at our bags… When we actually got out of the plane, I saw more people than I'd have guessed…Why is that??
"What the hell?" I asked…Obviously, none could answer me…
"I'll go and ask what's happening" I heard Ayame volunteer. She went, Kouga was following her.
I took my grape bubblegum. It was great…The plane food made me sick…After, like what it felt, ten minutes, the two of them came back.
"And…?"
"They decided that the BMC rules, inscriptions and prizes would be here…So I guess if we want to join, we must go and read the rules and join" Ayame said…Why here?...
We walked to a place full of teens!! Miroku kept gaining punches from Sango…He was groping most of the girls…Would I join? I could go as Dark Purify…Yes! I'd join…Hope they allow singer, not band…
No…I mean… I needed to be in the summer house all my vacation… What if… What if I participated and only appear when I needed to sing? That would be it! I'll ask for that secret little information!
I told the others I would go to the washroom. Sango said she could come. But I refused. What would she say if I told her I'm Dark Purify?
I kept walking until I found a really large BMC logo. I walked inside the little room and asked for the BMC owner. While waiting five minutes, a toad like man appeared.
"Hello. I'm Jaken. The BMC owner. What can I do for you, girl? And make it quick. I don't like to listen to little girls like you" He showed me the way to a smaller room. Maybe his room? How rude of him! I could just glare at him!
Didn't he know who I'm? I'm the one who allowed BMC to be held in the summer house! Humph! He'll know!
"I wanted to ask to participate in the ---"
"If you want, the line is outside. So don't speak to me. Just go to the line, girl" I glared at him and started making hints that I was really annoyed.
"Mister Jaken? Do you know who I'm?" He just looked at me with the 'I-don't-really-care' look. And like he wasn't caring, he asked the bodyguards to come and take the 'little lunatic girl away'!! How dare him!
"I'm Kagome Higurashi, Mikos' Manager. So, if you want to hold the BMC in her summer house, you better listen to me. Your BMC contract is on my hand, if I want, I can fire it, and no more BMC. So just hold and listen" I glared at him and seated on the chair. He was a little surprised but then, again, he would just walk to the other chair.
"So, what do you want, Miss Higurashi?" He asked so politely that I thought it wasn't him.
"I want to join the BMC"
"I already told you, go outside and wait in the line" He told me again
"But I want to enter, but no one can know it. So, here's the deal; you send the schedule to me on Monday, that lives you two days from now, and when I need to sing, I appear, sing and go back"
"Sure" He grinned
"And make sure, there's no catch"
"Ah! Well, you see… If anyone knows about your secret joining, you'll be out of the BMC. Got it? It's the most fair for the others. Deal?" He held my hand and I took it
"Deal"
"Now, you'll be joining as…?"
"Dark Purify" I told him and walked to the guys…
"What took you so long? We were almost leaving you!" Rin asked
"Sorry… So, you guys joined?" I asked
"Yes. The BMC officially starts Monday. But tomorrow, Saturday, have a formal opening, a banquet. So you must be joined by someone" Sesshoumaru told me and all I could do was 'O' with my mouth
"So you guys will go? Then, I'll see you guys there. Kikyou holds the banquet in the ballroom. So yeah." I told them sheepish.
"Yay!" Ayame and Rin squealed!
"You guys will stay where?" I don't know where the joined people would stay…
"We got two rooms in the summer house."
"Wow! That's so neat! I will be able to see you guys more than once!" I squealed "And…In what part of the summer house?" cross fingers
"In the part that says we could see the beach in the balcony…right, Sesshoumaru?" Sango asked
"Yes…The boys will share room…I think 149 and the girls 150…Or I don't remember…"
"OH MY GOD!!!! You guys are next to my room!! And Sango, Rin and Ayame have their room door shared with mine!!! The summer will rock!" I laughed hard and started jumping! The girls joined me!
"So, guys…Like we are going to the same place, you can share the limo that is waiting for me" I winked at them and walked to the airplane exit.
