Chapter 5: Aftermath
1 week later…
Kagome woke up to see her two best friends hovering over her in her bed. There was a pile of tissues surrounding the ground around her. She had been crying all week and hadn't told her friends what had happened to her earlier on in the week.
"Kagome," Sango said trying to get her out of her sleepy daze as Kagome rubbed her eyes from the light that was filling in from the window, " C'mon get up already."
"It looks like you've been crying all week," Ayame commented as she gave her best friend a hug for comfort.
"Tell us what happened," Sango coaxed her and sat down on the bed.
"Alright I guess so, since it's about time I tell somebody about what happened here." Kagome said with a sigh to her best friends.
Kagome went on and told them about Hojo's breaking up with her. She went into another crying fit but it was settled because she had started to be able to contain her sadness and heartache. Ayame went to grab the tissue that was on Kagome's desk across the room and she jumped over the circling pile of tissues around her bed. When Ayame jumped over them she clumsily slipped and fell into it, which caused Kagome to start smiling and laughing.
"Thanks you guys!" Kagome said and looked around the room to see it a complete mess and the rest of the house had looked like a tornado went through it. " I really let myself go."
"Yeah its okay we'll clean up while you go get ready." Sango told her sweetly.
"We?" Ayame said sarcastically since she really didn't want to clean some more since she just finished cleaning up her apartment.
"But where are we going?" Kagome asked ignoring what Ayame had said.
"Shopping Duh!" Ayame told her excitedly and pushed her into the bathroom to shower.

Ayame and Sango cleaned up her room and made her bed, then went downstairs to see what damage had happened down there. The couch pillows were thrown about the room, and the picture of Kagome & Hojo had been thrown against the wall and was smashed and glass was surrounding it. They went into the dining room and found out that it was actually clean then when they saw the kitchen it was a total disaster. There were piles of dishes spread about in the kitchen. So they started to clean up the living room first then the kitchen. Once they were finished they ate some food and while they waited for Kagome they watched TV in the time being.

Kagome went to check her outfit in the floor-length mirror behind her door and saw that she looked perfect, and wore shoes that were perfect for all the walking around that she would be doing. You couldn't even tell now that she had been crying at all, she looked perfect. So she walked out of her room with a new smile and was proud of herself.

'okay i'm not going to cry over him any longer.' Kagome declared in her mind and walked down the stairs.
"You guys ready?" Kagome asked happily
"Yeah just resting from cleaning up your place." Ayame retorted hastily. " But it's alright as long as we can make today a girls day out!"
"Well let's get to the mall already," Sango exclaimed, "Last one out of the parking lots a rotten egg!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The three girls ran to their cars, Ayame beat them to their cars since she was full wolf demon. But Kagome got out of there then Sango, then Ayame.
"Damn I lost again." Ayame said sadly," Oh well lets shop!"
"Yeah let's go," Kagome added in, and the girls walked into the mall.

After they were done with shopping they went to their apartments and put their new clothes and purses and makeup away. They planned to make this Girls Day Out into A Girls Night Out. So they went to a club.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Hey Kagome want to sing tonight?" Sango asked her sweetly so that she would say yes.
"Yeah Kagome I haven't heard you sing in a long time," Ayame added in, "Plus you should sing your heart out, since it seems like you should get some relief from this."
"Alright I'll do it." Kagome admitted finally giving in to her friends' pleas.
"So what song are you going to sing?" the manager of the club asked her as she went up to grab the mic.
"First Love if that's alright." Kagome said politely trying to hide the butterflies in her stomach.
'Damn I have felt this anxious in awhile,' Kagome thought to herself, ' Maybe it is time for me to start pouring my heart out.'
"Okay we're going to dim the lights and put you on spotlight, since it's a ballad song," the manager told her, "Alright?"
"Okay," was all Kagome could say.
"Alright your up after these guys. So be ready. We'll call you out onto the stage." The manager told her, " Do you want a specific name we should say?"
"Uhmm yeah." Kagome said as she tried to think of a name to use, " Mae."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
" Okay next up we have Mae!" the announcer said into the mic, and Kagome walked up to the stool and grabbed the mic that was sitting on it. Once Ayame and Sango found out that Mae was Kagome they screamed for her. Even though they were a little confused about her name, but thought it was cute.
Kagome started to sing as the music gave her her cue to start.
Once in a while you are in my mind
I think about the days that we had
And I dream that this would come back to me
If only you knew every moment in time
Nothing goes on in my heart
Just like your memory -
Is how I want just to be with you, once more
You will always gona be the one
And you should know
How I wish that I could have never let you go
Come into my life again
Oh, don't say no
You will always gona be the one
In my heart
So true - I believe that I can never find
Somebody like you
My first love
Once in a while
You are in my dreams
I can feel the warmth of your embrace
And I, pray that you will come back to me
If only you knew every moment in time
Nothing goes on in my heart
Just like your memory -
Is how I want just to be with you, once more
You will always be inside my heart
And you should know
How I wish that I could have never let you go
Come into my life again
Please, don't say no
Now and forever you are still the one
In my heart
So true - I believe I can never find
Somebody like you
My first love
And when she finished, she was surprised to find that everyone had been intently watching her or they were dancing with their loved one. The crowd and people sitting down had clapped for her and she blushed at it. She sang with such soul and emotion, since she had been holding up a pain in her heart that she wanted to relieve herself of.
