Chapter 1

"Kagome! Kagome!" Ayame called for what seemed like the 20th time. "Kagome I know you can hear me!"

"I told you I am not joining that singing competition! You know I am trying to keep a low profile here!"

"But you have such a good voice! I'm-we're sure you could win!" she said pointing to herself and Sango who had just caught up with them.

"But…," Kagome trailed off. She was breaking down; they had been pestering her about this for days! But what if Inuyasha was there? It had been 3 years since she had last seen him, but still. She wasn't totally over him. HE chose Kikyo over her! Of all people, he had to choose Kikyo.

"So what if he's their or even if Kikyo's there too," said Sango seeming to read her mind.

"Okay. Fine. I'll do it! But only if you guys join too!" Kagome compromised.

"Yay!" Both girls yell holding Kagome in a death grip.

"When are the tryouts?" Sighed Kagome resigned.

"In about an hour." Admitted Sango.

"WHAT?" Kagome screeched.

"Yeah we have to hurry! You know what song you're going to sing?" Asked Ayame, pulling Kagome along.

"NO!" Kagome thundered.

"Well we wouldn't have this problem if you had agreed sooner!" Chided Sango.

"No, we wouldn't have this problem if you guys had left me alone!"

"Come on we're almost there!" cried Ayame.

Surprisingly when the three musketeers arrived the line wasn't all that long. They quickly took their places and were soon to the front of the line.

"Do you have a song in mind yet, Kagome?" Asked Ayame.

"Yeah."

"Good because we're next!"

Little did they know that Inuyasha was sitting in the audience watching the tryouts. He had brought his friends Miroku and Koga along with him. (They are the only people in the audience, except for a few other people. Not many other people. Like four or five.).

"Next!" one of the judges called.

Kagome slowly walked onto the stage to the microphone. The lights were so bright she couldn't see to far in front of her, but Inuyasha saw her and instantly recognized her. "Higurashi Kagome." She stated for the judges. "I will be singing Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson." The Music started and the words came pouring out of her mouth, so full of emotion.

Seems like just yesterday


You were a part of me


I used to stand so tall


I used to be so strong


Your arms around me tight


Everything, it felt so right


Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong


Now I can't breathe


No, I can't sleep


I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again


I'm torn into pieces


Can't deny it, can't pretend


Just thought you were the one


Broken up, deep inside


But you won't get to see the tears I cry


Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything


Opened up and let you in


You made me feel alright


For once in my life


Now all that's left of me


Is what I pretend to be


So together, but so broken up inside


'Cause I can't breathe


No, I can't sleep


I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again


I'm torn into pieces


Can't deny it, can't pretend


Just thought you were the one


Broken up, deep inside


But you won't get to see the tears I cry


Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out


For hating you, I blame myself


Seeing you it kills me now


No, I don't cry on the outside


Anymore...

Here I am, once again


I'm torn into pieces


Can't deny it, can't pretend


Just thought you were the one


Broken up, deep inside


But you won't get to see the tears I cry


Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again


I'm torn into pieces


Can't deny it, can't pretend


Just thought you were the one


Broken up, deep inside


But you won't get to see the tears I cry


Behind these hazel eyes

When the song ended the room was full of applause. Even Inuyasha clapped. Hearing here sing like that made is heart hurt. He regretted what he had done to her. He made a mistake and he was going to try his damn hardest to get her back!

"Wow! That was great! We'll call you tomorrow if you've made it, which I'm sure you did! Just fill out the forms on the table on the way out." The same judged told her.

"Thank you!" Kagome smiled happily.

"Kagome you were amazing!" Praised Sango. "I just hope Ayame and I make it too!"

"Thank you! You guys did fine too!"

"Hey let's go out to eat before we head home!" Suggested Ayame.

Yeah I'm starving!" Said Sango as they headed to their favorite restaurant down the street.
