Chapter 18

Just to throw a random disclaimer in here, I don't own anyone except for Frog, Tyler, unfortunately Ryan, and the dog.

Kagome took another deep breath as she looked around her. There were a lot of people walking around looking as if they had the most important job in the place. Inuyasha led her to an office in the back saying hello to a lot of people along the way. Once they reached the office Inuyasha flung the door open and flung himself down on a couch. A man and a woman walked in the room from another door, the man she recognized as Sesshoumaru Inuyasha's' brother. The other must have been the head of the label.

They all kind of stared at each other for awhile. The woman looked a little familiar to Kagome. But she couldn't remember where she had seen her. Snapping Kagome form her thoughts the woman said, "Well you must be Kagome. My name is Sango. As you might have guessed I am the head of BarkaDog records (No pun intended because of the dog lol). Kagome gasped and said "Sango is that you?" "Yes! I thought that was you Kagome. Oh my gosh how have you been I haven't seen you in so long!" Kagome and the Sango embarrassed

"When you moved I missed you so much. I never thought I would see you again. I just can't believe I am actually seeing you!"

"Yes. It has been way too long! Well now that we have been reacquainted, let's get to why you are really here! I take it you have a song prepared?"

Kagome nodded her head and pulled out a CD. "The music is on here. Also here is a sheet of our lyrics. Sango accepted what was in Kagome's hands and directed her and Inuyasha into the recording booth.

With the orders to put on the headphones, they both did so. They waited for the Ok to begin and then for the music to start.

Inuyasha- She put him out. Like the end of a burning midnight cigarette. She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget. We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time. But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind. Until the night. He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger. And finally drank away her memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger. Than the strength he had to get up off his knees. We found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note that said 'I'll love her till I die'. We buried him beneath the willow. As the angels sang a whiskey lullaby. LaLaLaLaLaLa.

Kagome- The Rumors flew. But nobody knew how much she blamed herself. For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath. She finally drank his pain away a little at a time. But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind. Until the night. She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger. And finally drank away his memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger. Then the strength she had to get up off her knees. We found her with her face down in the pillow. Clinging to his picture for dear life. We buried her next to him beneath the willow. While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby. LaLaLaLaLa.

They walked back into the studio and surveyed the scene around them. The room seemed to be filled with a haunted setting. Everyone was mesmerized. Not just by the power of the song either. It was Kagome. She held the whole room in the palm of her hand. Inuyasha was just as good as she was and they fit together. After a few minutes Kagome coughed and the spell that held everyone seemed to be lifted.

"You got a deal." Kagome stared at Sango then the news seemed to sink in and she screamed. Frog walked over to hug her but she jumped into Inuyasha's opened arms instead. Then for the first time in public with the complete intention on his mind, Inuyasha leaned down and kissed Kagome. When they broke apart it felt to them as if they had been kissing for ages when in reality, it was only a few seconds. They turned back around to give hugs and shake hands with everyone in the room. The only one who didn't seem to happy was Frog. Kagome made a mental note to talk to him later about it.

They covered all the details with Sango and then left to go out to Shawn's. It was gonna be a long ride there so they all got something to eat and settled down in their cars. The same as usual in both cars. Inuyasha mumbled something about 'rock' or something and turned on the radio. Kagome barely even noticed. She was on Cloud 9. The only problem was that nagging voice in her head that made her spirits sink. Something was wrong with her and Frog and she didn't know how to fix it. They had been friends for years, he had always been there for her and vice a versus. Then along came Inuyasha and Frog was pushed aside. She knew that must have hurt him really bad. She couldn't help it though. She was in love with Inuyasha and she loved Frog just as much but only in a different way. It looked as if he felt differently. 'I'm just going to have to set some time aside for me and him to talk.' She thought.

When Kagome came out of her thoughts she noticed that Inuyasha was singing along softly with the radio. He really did have a sweet voice. She looked at him and tried to give him an expression that showed how much she really did love him. Not only because of who he was, but because of who she was when she was with him. Inuyasha glanced at her and then laughed. Kagome looked hurt and before she could say anything, Inuyasha explained that she just looked as if she won a million dollars and there wasn't a reason to look that happy. She pretended to be hurt but then just smiled.

"What was that look for anyway Kagome?" Kagome glanced at him and smiled again. "Because I love you Inuyasha. Thank you so much for being here for me through all this. I don't know what I would have done without you and Frog here by my side."

Inuyasha smiled and held the one hand of Kagome's that wasn't on the wheel. They stayed like that for the next two hours just softly singing along with the radio. When they were in town and off the highway, about 20 minutes from Shawn's house, Kagome suddenly blacked out and her car went flying off the road. Inuyasha managed to grab the wheel before it hit a telephone pole and saved the car from any major damage. Inuyasha tried to wake up Kagome by the time she finally came to, Frog and Tyler were beside her door trying to open it to let her out. Frog helped her out and helped her stand but when Inuyasha came out and came around to her side of the car, he took a hold of her to help her stand. Frog glared at him but didn't say anything.

Inuyasha helped Kagome calm down and manage to take a few deep breaths. When she finally had control of her breathing she explained that something happened to her mother and they had to get there. She got back in the car and the other's ran to get in their respective seats. Completely ignoring the speed limit they made it to Shawn's in less than 10 minutes. Kagome seemed to know where she was going so everyone followed her. But they were to late. They made their way down to the basement just in time to see Kagome's mother kill Ryan. Kagome ran to her mom who was sobbing and held her close. Frog feeling like this was the only useful thing he had done since Inuyasha showed up, pulled out his phone and called 911. An hour later after all their stories had been given Kagome and Tyler's mother began telling them all what had happened.

Ryan had found out that she was a priestess and said that he didn't want anything to do with her anymore. When it came time to leave she tried to Kagome but would have been caught trying to take her. So she left. When she came back for her Ryan had lied and told her mother that she had died. Afraid for the life of Tyler she let it go, accepting that Kagome was in fact dead. She never told Tyler his sister was dead only that she couldn't go and get her right then and that someday she would be with them.

A few weeks ago she found out that Kagome was alive and Shawn who had also found out that she was a witch teamed up with Ryan and held her prisoner. When Kagome and Tyler started snooping around they tried to kill her and in self defense she killed Ryan.

And that's how it happened. "But the only thing that matters is that we are all together now. We can be a family again." She hugged her children and held them close. "We can move far away and have a fresh start. Kagome's eyes grew wide and she looked at Inuyasha. She had found her mother but lost the love of her life.

OK that's it for now! I'll try and update ASAP!
