A very daring try at a Mike Shinoda/Kagome fanfiction. It's going to be tough and I'll need support. Please try to imagine Mike in anime form. I can, but even with my basic knowledge of manga drawing I can't draw him. Mediaminer people might have seen my work. Login name's Pheonor. Seen it? Told you I can't draw him…
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and I most definitely don't own Linkin Park or I'd be rich.
Prologue
Mike and his bandmates Chester, Brad, Rob, Phoenix and Joseph all sat in their private jet heading to Japan. It was all Chester's idea to cheer up the depressed Mike.
Here's what happened. Anna (Mike's wife) had wanted Mike to settle for a while, she wanted a child. Mike, who had never really thought of the matter, had suggested going through life and settling later or, better yet, living together without children and just each other. In his point of view, it sounded rather sappy, so he thought it would sound romantic to her.
It was disastrous. A whole catastrophe that was watched by an entire planet and resulted in a divorce.
So Chester suggested an Asia concert. So far it was working a little. Mike was putting it all into his music and he was happy while he performed but whenever he wasn't preparing or performing, his eyes glazed over and anyone in the band could tell he was thinking about Anna. Chester of them all felt most guilty, he felt Anna's sudden thought of children was because his wife Talinda had given birth in March and that might have set her thinking. Therefore, it was important to him to help Mike get through this.
Chester stood up and leaned over the chair in front of him to end up seeing Mike's face upside down, eyes glazed over and mind deep in thought.
"Hey Mike. You there?"
"Huh, what? Oh. Get outta my face Chester…"
"Dude, you alright?"
"Yea…"
"We're heading for your dad's home man."
"We've been here before, Chaz."
"Fine…Hang in there man."
"Dude! I ain't gonna kill myself."
"I know, it's just ahh…nevermind."
Mike stared out the window. The sun was setting. It was beautiful. Just like Anna. He closed his eyes and fell to sleep.
Author: Very short I know but this is the prologue. Trying to make this realistic. The story is AU because it would be a headache to mix Sengoku Jidai in. Don't pass this fic off, it's gonna be BIG.
