Chapter 7: Replacing the singer
Kouga and Inuyasha immediately stopped for Kagome's sake. How about if she got hurt?
'Thank you!' she said as she put her hands down.
'Why did you stop us?' Inuyasha screamed, even though he had stopped, he still wanted to continue the fight.
'What if one of you got hurt?' Kagome pleaded, she didn't want her first conversation with Inuyasha to start like this but it was impossible not to.
'Feh!' that was all he said.
'Gosh, if you don't want to speak to me tell me, just don't say 'Feh'!' Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs, causing everyone around them to look at them. Kagome didn't care, instead she continued.
'I just wanted to be friends with you, but NOOO you had to make it the hard way!' Kagome continued. Then she stomped of leaving the lost Inuyasha deep in thoughts.
'She wanted to be friends…with me?' That was all that was going through his head right now. Then after a while, he ran towards the direction of Kagome.
'Where is he going?' Kouga asked.
'Where else loser?' Sango replied walking off too. Miroku soon followed leaving the injured Kouga there.
Kagome ran for her room, it wasn't long before her next shift so she didn't have time to cry. Instead, she opened the door and headed straight for the bathroom. Having a shower always cooled her down, so it was for the best right now.
Inuyasha, on the other hand, had been banging on the door for the thousandth time.
'She probably doesn't want to see me,' Inuyasha said sadly. But he wouldn't give up; instead he banged down the door. Of course Kagome heard and came out with nothing but a towel to cover her.
'WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY DOOR?' Kagome screamed as she looked at the door, then at Inuyasha.
'Well, I was banging on your door for the hundredth time and decided to break down the door,' he said, it was then he noticed she was wearing nothing but a towel. He blushed and quickly turned around. Kagome was confused by this but then looked down and remembered she was having a shower. She quickly darted for the bathroom before closing the door.
When she came out, Inuyasha was gone.
'Well at least his not perverted like Miroku,' she laughed to herself before going off to her shift.
'Kagome, are you okay? Miroku asked her worriedly.
'I'm fine,' Kagome said giving him one of her best smiles. Miroku smiled back before going back to work.
'Argh, I'm so tired!' Kagome said heading for the shower for the second time today. In the shower, she started singing 'Stick with you' by Pussycat dolls. The manger walked past as he thought about the singer that was supposed to perform today but couldn't make it. He stopped right at his tracks when he heard Kagome sing. 'That is perfect!' he said as he looked at the room number, 422 it read. Then he walked off.
RIIINNNG!
'Who could be ringing?' Kagome wondered as she picked up the phone.
'Hello?' she said
'Hello, you have been invited to dinner with the manger today! It will be at 7 pm, please be prompt,' the man said before putting down the phone.
'I wonder why he wants to have dinner with me. He won't want to fire me right?' Kagome thought worriedly. Then she went to get dressed. She wore a white strapped dress that had a ribbon around the waist. It was knee length and she wore nice high heeled shoes to match it. It was nearly 7pm when she was done so she went straight to the dining room.
When Kagome reached the door, it was exactly 7pm and she entered to find not only the manger but a few other rich men waiting for her arrival.
'Ah, Kagome please have a seat,' the manger said as he pointed to the chair closest to him. That caught everyone's attention as they looked up at the girl. Some said she was beautiful and some said she was perfect. Kagome eagerly took her seat as she tried not to stare at a man that looked so like Inuyasha.
'Um, have I done something wrong?' She said to no one in particular, trying hard to speak up.
'No, we have asked you to come. No doubt, you have heard that a mysterious singer would be coming to perform tomorrow. Unfortunately, she couldn't make it due to personal reasons. The manager of this ship was walking past your door and heard you singing. I hope I don't sound too forward, but would you perform for us tomorrow?' The man that looked like Inuyasha said. Kagome was shocked, out of all people on the cruise; she had been chosen to represent the mysterious singer tomorrow.
'Um…are you sure I'm the right one? I mean there could be heaps of other people out there other than me that can sing heaps better and all,' Kagome said panicking.
'We all approve of you, you look good, you sing right and we don't have the time to look for other people. Please do this, for your job. We will pay you extra,' the manger claimed.
'Ok, I will try my best,' Kagome replied.
'Oh, and before you go, I would like to have dinner with you as appreciation,' the man that looked like Inuyasha asked.
'Ok!' was all that Kagome could say. She sat down and waited for the meal. It was awfully uncomfortable because of the silence but it was soon broken when 2 other men and a woman came in.
'Hello honey,' Izayoi said
'Yo, dad,' Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru replied. Then they both glared at each other before sitting down. It was only then, did Izayoi notice that they had company.
'Hello sweetie, what is your name?' Izayoi asked which caused the two men to look at their guest.
'Kagome?' Inuyasha said.
'Inuyasha?' Kagome replied.
'I see you guys know each other, oh how wonderful!' Inuyasha's dad said.
'So, you are Inuyasha's dad? You look awfully like him!' Kagome said.
'Yeh, so he is why the hell are you here?' Inuyasha asked in a cruel tone.
'Now, now honey, don't speak to guest like that,' Izayoi scowled at her son.
'Sorry, for my son's attitude,' Inuyasha's father said (sorry, I don't know his name).
'That's ok, he is always like that when he talks to me,' Kagome replied. The rest of the night was spent talking about the performance tomorrow and what time she had to be there and stuff like that.
The next day, Kagome was in her room, playing with her hair when she heard someone knock on the door.
'I wonder who it could be.' Kagome wondered as she went to open the door.
'OMG, I can't believe you're going to sing tonight. Well what are you waiting for, get changed and I will help you do you make up and hair,' Sango cried as she made her way into the room.
'Um…Sango, they will have a make up artist and everything there for me,' Kagome said.
'Oh,' was all Sango said before blabbering on and on about how she was so lucky and lots more.
The day slipped by quite quickly and before they knew it, it was time to go and get dressed. Kagome and Sango got out of the room only to find Miroku on the way in.
'I am so happy for you!' Miroku screamed before hugging Kagome.
'Um…Miroku don't start it!' Kagome said. Miroku then let go and followed them to where the crew had been waiting. Without a minute to spare, Kagome was taken into the dressing room and pushed and shoved until she was all done.
She wore a strapped dress which was black and had pink underneath and pink petals flowing down her dress. Her hair was sort of curly with a pink flower on the side of her hair. She had black high heeled shoes. On her face she had light mascara, pink lip gloss and her eyes had blue, with a tint of pink, green and silver. She looked beautiful; she was fully transformed to a pop star.
'OMG, Kagome, everyone will be drooling when they see you,' Sango complimented. Kagome blushed at that comment before looking at herself in the mirror. She really did look spectacular.
'Ok,' would you all please welcome Kagome to the stage,' the announcer announced.
'Well, that's my cue, wish me luck,' Kagome said before walking on to the stage. Everyone gasped when she saw the girl.
'Thank you for all coming to the performance today!' She said before she started to sing 'Stick with you' by the Pussycat Dolls.
I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.
Seems like everybody's breaking up
Throwing their love away
But I now I got a good thing right here
That's why I say (hey)
Then the back up singers came in to sing the chorus.
Nobody gonna love me better
I'm must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever make me feel this way
I must stick with you
Then it was her singing alone again.
I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride in our private live
Ain't nobody getting in between
I want you to know that you're the only one for me (one for me)
And I say
The chorus with the back up singers but she is singing high (I think)
Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you my baby
Nobody ever make me feel this way
I must stick with you
And then she sings all by herself with the back up singers singing the brackets.
And now
Ain't nothing else I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now
I'm
singing 'cause you're so, so into me.
I got you,
We'll be
making love endlessly.
I'm with you (baby, I'm with you)
Baby,
you're with me (Baby, you're with me)
The back up singers sings as well.
So
don't you worry about
People hanging around,
They ain't
bringing us down.
I know you and you know me
and that's all
that counts.
So don't you worry about
People hanging
around,
They ain't bringing us down.
I know you and you know
me
and that's why I say
Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you my baby
Nobody ever make me feel this why
I must stick with you
Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you my baby
By herself
Nobody ever make me feel this why
I must stick with you.
Everyone clapped and cheered as Kagome got off the stage. She even got flowers and everything. Inuyasha was in the background. He had heard her sing and was quite impressed. He had a feeling, he liked this girl. 'Wait, what am I talking about, liking her? Over my dead body I will!' he said before turning his back on her and walking away.
'Kagome, you were fantastic out there. If I didn't know myself, I would have thought you were a real pop star,' Miroku said while hugging her tightly. He had tears in his eyes.
'Miroku, calm down, I was just singing!' Kagome cried, she and Sango were practically laughing at Miroku's reaction.
'I'll leave him to you Sango,' Kagome managed to spill out before heading for the change rooms.
'I didn't know you could sing?' Inuyasha said.
'Didn't know you were watching,' Kagome said before turning around. Inuyasha grabbed her hand, spun her around and pushed her into the wall. They were inches away from each other and Kagome could feel him breathing on her.
'Why are you acting so harsh towards me all of a sudden?' Inuyasha said.
'Because, you're the one who rejected me in the first place, claiming you didn't want to be friends,' Kagome said before turning her head away from his. He brought his hand up and put it under her chin so she could face him.
'Who said I didn't want to be your friend?' Inuyasha asked looking into her eyes. When she heard this, she immediately hugged him.
'Just wait for me to get dressed and we will go find the others and eat, Kagome squealed before running into the change room.
'Well, I guess I did the right thing!' Inuyasha smiled while waiting for Kagome to finished getting dressed.
