Little mentions of Inuyasha characters here. Will work on it, feel like this is getting too much like a Mike/OC fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and I most definitely don't own Linkin Park or I'd be rich.

Chapter 7.5: What I've been up to

Kagome's POV

Wow, this is still so much like a dream to me. I don't know why I said yes when Rob asked to move to America with him, but I don't regret it. We're so happy together and I love the feeling of being with him and the band.

My friend Inuyasha has a brother that gave me a job as a columnist for his magazine here in America. I write the occasional column and get paid for it. It's not a lot, but it keeps me busy. Turns out tons of people like my occasional column and for some reason, gossip magazines find a column writer for a famous magazine a HUGE improvement from a girl from Japan in terms of whether or not I'm worth Rob.

I close my eyes. I'm just blabbing, I haven't forgotten, and I still feel guilty for that night.

Mike had been drunk, but I had had no excuse. I hate it that when I'm drunk I'm always in a more-than-friendly position with Mike and sometimes, I worry Rob notices my discomfort around Mike sometimes, it had been a mistake, and it had been before we got together but still, I know he would be crushed.

I guess, though, I'm most worried about myself. Sometimes I can't help but want Mike. It's like I'm still crushing on him but I'm with Rob and I just can't seem to understand this, it's scary. I'm scared.

Hey. It's raining. It has a strange beauty to it, the rain, the way it falls blurring images and splattering on the ground, the way it paints the world in shades of grey. I like it, but most of all, I like the way it brings out sadness and despair, because that has always helped me reflect.

There is nothing to reflect. I don't love Mike, I just haven't gotten over my schoolgirl crush, but it's just so much. I stand up and grab a bag, I promised Rob I'd watch him practice today.

I walk of, a moist patch on the window sill the only evidence that I had been crying.

Author: This was pretty much the other half of chapter 7. Very short, I promise length in the future! Please review! I'm losing my drive!

For those who remembered my other fanfic, Love Inu, I apologize but no one reviewed my last chapter so it was temporarily halted.
