Hello everyone! Thanks to all of you who have continued to review! I love you all!

Now on to my lovely story (Not)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kagome reached her home and stopped dead in her tracks. A horde of reporters stood on the front lawn of her apartment. 'This is the last thing I needed right now!' she thought. Kagome was about to turn around and leave when one of the reporters spotted her.

"There she is!" he shouted. Seconds later she was surrounded by reporters of different channels shouting different questions at her.

"Kagome! Kagome Higurashi! Would you answer a few of our questions?" Some shouted.

"Kagome! Could you please tell us…." One woman started.

"No!" she shouted, "Let me through!" She pushed her way through them all until she reached her house. As soon as she walked inside she turned on the TV.

Every news station had some kind of footage of her entering her house. She stopped channel surfing and listened to one.

"As we have just shown you, Kagome Higurashi came home a few minutes ago. It is said she was pretty famous in America. She seemed to be distraught. As you can see her face was tear-stained as she plowed through our reporters to get inside her home. We'll keep you viewers at home updated on what goes on here. This is….."

"How did this happe?." Kagome said placing her head in her hands. She was getting ahead ache from the phones ringing off the hook. Tired of it all, she pulled the phone from its plug and silence filled the room.

She continued to watch the news and saw Sango and Miroku and Ayame and Koga. She watched as the guys helped the girls make it safely inside.

"Who the hell leaked to the press!" asked Sango dropping onto the nearest sofa.

"Probably Kikyo," Answered Ayame taking a seat next to Sango.

"I don't think so. It was probably someone who noticed us at the singing competition you guys made me enter!" Snapped Kagome.

"What's wrong?" asked Ayame.

"It's nothing." Kagome sighed.

"Hey, you know better than to hide things from us, Kagome. Now what's wrong?" Ayame persisted in a motherly fashion. She placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the side.

"Was it Inuyasha?" asked Sango.

"It's nothing really. I just had a talk with Inuyasha." She said and retold her friends everything Inuyasha had said to her, how she ran off, and to top it all off coming home to find the reporters littering her front lawn.

"That's enough to ruin anybody's day! Why don't we all hang out tonight? We can take a special trip to one of the clubs we used to sing at before we moved. What do you guys think?" Ayame decided looking from Kagome to Sango.

"Sounds good to me. Can you get us there without the reporters out there seeing us, Kagome?" asked Sango, with a wink.

"You betcha. It's not like I have a choice in the matter anyway."

"Great."

Kagome turned off the TV and the girls went to their rooms to get ready. Thirty minutes later they were ready to par-tay!

"So where are we going?" asked Kagome

"I was thinking…The Hourglass!" suggested Ayame.

"Okay." Kagome and her friends joined hands and literally with the blink of an eye disappeared from their home and reappeared in front of their favorite club. They walked inside to be engulfed in the sounds and smells of the booming club. All the tables and booths were pretty much filled, and couples were dancing on the dance floor. A small stage stood at the club's front.

"Kagome! Ayame! Sango! I haven't seen you three in so long! Where have ya been? It hasn't been the same without you three here." asked someone from behind them.

"Oh hey Ben! You know how it is. We've just been busy and stuff." Answered Kagome.

"Yeah like moving to America." Sango spoke up.

"Yeah I heard. You three were on every news channel! It was so cool! Well you three here to sing for us?" Ben asked wiping his hands on a towel.

"Of course! Why else would we be here!" Said Ayame playfully rolling her eyes.

"Now that's what I like to hear!" Ben chuckled. "You three lovely ladies ready yourselves and I'll introduce you, just like old times!" He stepped onstage and the girls waited backstage.

"Can I have your attention please? Quiet!" The music stopped, everyone stopped dancing, and listened. "Thank you. Please give a warm welcome back to Kagome and her friends Ayame and Sango!"

The girls walked on stage and thanked the crowd for their applause. "Thanks every one. It's good to be back." said Kagome.

The crowd ceased applause as the song began. As Kagome sang she began to think of Inuyasha.

Beautiful Disaster

By Kelly Clarkson

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right

Oh and i don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Baby, hold on tight

Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long

He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster

The next song was T-shirt by Destiny's child. Ayame chose to sing this song. As they sang couples danced close together. Couples sitting at the tables seemed to sit closer to each other.

"T-Shirt"

Spoken Kagome
Hey Baby
I Wish You Could See What I Have On Right Now
You So Sexy
Imagine How Intense It Would Be
To Hold Me Right Now
Our Song's Playing

Verse 1 Kagome
At Night, When You're Far And I'm Alone
I Feel The Fabric From Your T-Shirt
Close To My Body
I Can Still Hear Your Baritone
In My Ear Telling Me You'll Take It Slow
And I Was In The Mirror Playing A Roll
Like You Work It, I Couldn't Turn Me On
So I Fell Asleep With The Music On
Woke Up Again Hearing The Same Old Song, Playing

PreChorus Ayame
(Oh) Give It To Me Deeper
(Oh) Giving Me The Fever
(Oh) Now You Got My Feet Up
This One Is A Keeper
Now The Second Verse Is Playing
(Oh) We Tried To Stand Up
(Oh) Hold Me While My Hands Up
(Oh) And The Music Picks Up
Fantasies Were Shook Up
I'm Thinking To Myself Again

All
When You're Not Here (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
I Wish You Were Here (To Take Off Your T-Shirt)
After We Make Love (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
Wake Up In Your T-Shirt,
Still Smell The Scent Of Your Cologne
When I Need Your Feel (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
I Need Help (To Take Off Your T-Shirt)
After We Make Love (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
Wake Up In Your T-Shirt,
Still Smell The Scent Of Your Cologne

Verse 2 Kagome
Outside I Hear The Rain On My Windowpane
Hold Up A Minute, Thought I Heard Your Name
My Mind, Playing Tricks On Me Again
I Hear Knocks On The Door, Is That Baby Home
Why Couldn't It Be Reality?
Looked At The Clock It Says 4:03
At Nine, He'll Be Arriving On A Plane
Then We'll Be Making Love And Hearing The Song Again

PreChorus Sango
(Oh) Give It To Me Deeper
(Oh) Giving Me The Fever
(Oh) Now You Got My Feet Up
This One Is A Keeper
Now The Second Verse Is Playing
(Oh) We Tried To Stand Up
(Oh) Hold Me While My Hands Up
(Oh) And The Music Picks Up
Fantasies Were Shook Up
I'm Thinking To Myself Again

All
When You're Not Here (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
I Wish You Were Here (To Take Off Your T-Shirt)
After We Make Love (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
Wake Up In Your T-Shirt,
Still Smell The Scent Of Your Cologne
When I Need Your Feel (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
I Need Help (To Take Off Your T-Shirt)
After We Make Love (I Sleep In Your T-Shirt)
Wake Up In Your T-Shirt,
Still Smell The Scent Of Your Cologne

Bridge Ayame
Oh Boy I've Been Waiting
Now My Body's Shaking
You're So Deep, Baby Please, Take It Easy
I Look At Your Face And
Got My Heart Racing
You're So Deep, Baby Please, Take It Easy

Spoken Kagome
Keep It Right There
Oh, Wait, Wait, Yeah
Keep It Right There
You Driving Me Crazy

Chorus Out

The last song they sang was "Why they call it falling" by Lee Ann Womack. (I think this is a really pretty and sad song. So I had to put it in here.)

"Why They call it falling"

By Lee Ann Womack

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
When it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know

Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know

When the song ended the girls thanked the crowed, said good bye to Ben, and left. As they walked outside Kagome thought she saw Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye. But when she looked no one was there. The girls joined hands and disappeared from the lub returning home.

When they were gone Inuyasha stepped out from the side of the building. He had been there to hear Kagome sing. He knew some of the songs were about him. He had been taking a walk when he thought he heard her voice coming from the Hourglass so he stepped inside. Singing seemed to be her thing. Something she was meant to do in life. He was hoping he would get to talk to her again, but at the last minute changed his mind. She needed her space, so he headed home alone.
