"A LIVE TOUR!?"
"Yup. World Wide too. Starting in Seoul, then to a few cities in America, then to Osaka, Tokyo, and ending in Nagoya." Inutashio said. "We'll also be doing talk show appearances, music video shoots, new song releases, especially for the debut in Korea… um… Miss Makasaki… are you ok?"
Rin was on the floor, with the classic anime spiral eye look on her face. A Live Tour… this was too good to be true…
Of course, it was all in favor of promoting her album and making herself known as an international star.
"I'm… ok… overjoyed…" Rin said slowly.
"Oh. And Miss Makasaki…" Kagome said, keeping the assistant thing going. "You're scheduled to do a cameo appearance on the TV shoe, The Lake Palace…"
"AS WHAT!?" Rin said in a panic.
"A tragic courtesan…" Kagome said dramatically.
"Man will I be busy…" Rin said to herself. "Well, duty calls."
Sesshomaru kept staring off into space. He took numerous glances at the photos that Rin took the other day.
(Flashback)
"Oh come on… the camera's not going to bite!"
"I don't look good at all in photos…"
"Nobody ever does in these cheap old photo booths. Now come on!"
(Flashback ends)
"I gotta stop thinking about her…" Sesshomaru said firmly. He reached into his desk, took out some medication, organized them, and then took a long gulp of water.
He saw a big envelope in out of the corner of his eye. Rin must have forgotten it.
He opened it and took a look inside.
"Hideki, I wish things can be the way we want it, but it's simply not meant to be…"
"But why Nabiki? I thought you loved me…"
God… what a ham… Rin thought to herself as she and Inuyasha finished a scene for the show.
"Hideki, I told you before. I'm a courtesan. I'm paid by men to make them believe what they want to believe. And you wanted to believe that you loved me, and I did nothing more than comply. So this is goodbye…" Rin nearly tripped on the long Heian robes, but covered it as the character was about to break down from deserting her one true love.
"Nabiki! Don't go!" Inuyasha… I mean Hideki, cried out. But Nabiki was gone.
"And cut! That's a wrap!" the director said.
Rin sighed. This costume was ridiculously heavy.
"Can someone get me out of this thing!?" Rin cried out.
"Makasaki- San, you're needed in music studio 5… Makasaki- San… you're needed in…"
"For What!?" Rin cried out in frustration.
"That's Sesshomaru alright." Inuyasha said, walking over to Rin, still in costume.
"Once he gets an idea, he wants it done in a flash while it's still fresh."
"Geez, you make it sound like a slice of meat." Rin said, getting back into her regular clothes and sped off to keep Sesshomaru from waiting.
"Ok! I'm here! So what's the next thing you want me to do…?"
Sesshomaru looked up from the pile of papers he was looking at.
"Did you know your mother used to write songs?" he said out of the blue.
"What? No she didn't. She went straight to Law school after high school, then married my dad, and became a stay at home wife."
"Her name is Sae, am I right?"
"Maiden name Kyung. Why?"
"Because I have lyrics written by a Kyung Sae here." Sesshomaru said.
Rin took the papers from his hand and read them over. Then her grand mother's words came into her head…
I think you might win your mother's favor of your career choice with this…
"Wow…" was all Rin was able to say.
"I have an idea…" Sesshomaru said.
Makasaki Sae walked into Shikon Studios. She sighed. She didn't want her daughter to struggle with a difficult world that was the music world the way she did. IT was horrible back in her native land of South Korea. Many people were after a number one spot with one of the biggest labels. She almost made it, but was then rejected. It shattered her. She burnt all the music and songs she spent most of her life writing. Now she had a stable life with a man that loves her and a beautiful daughter. Now the daughter was about to make the same mistake she did.
I can't let her ruin her live… Sae thought to herself. She drew nearer to Studio 5. Inuyasha, who saw the woman enter, was about to stop her, but was stopped by Kagome.
"That's Rin's mom." Kagome said. "Let's just wait and see what happens…"
Sae was about to storm into the room Rin was in recording until she heard the words that were coming out of Rin's mouth.

Just the key of heart
I believe in love, two hearts
I believe in love, two hearts
Sae tried to fight back tears. This was the very last song that she written before the audition that broke her spirit. She thought she had all of it burned. But apparently, this one song survived. But seeing her daughter sing it now, in flawless Korean no less, made the song sound better than it did 21 years ago.
"MOM!?" Rin shouted.
"Ow! My ear…" Sesshomaru said, turning the volume of the mic down. Then he turned the music off. This was going to take more tries than he thought.
Rin ran out of the recording booth and towards her mother. Sae pulled her daughter in for a hug.
"Now I see what your grandmother means when she said you're possesed by an angle when you sing." Sae said.
"Mom…"
"Um… Rin… we're on a deadline. So if you want all your stuff done before the tour, I suggest we get back to work…
"Sorry!" Rin said.
"I think I'll hang out with the cute guy for a while…" Sae said dream like, as she chose a spot near Sesshomaru. He rolled his eyes and played the music again starting where they left off…
I believe in love, two hearts

Many people screamed for BoA as she continued to perform at the Seoul theater of Music, which was jammed pack with thousands of people. The Key of Heart digital single was leaked onto the internet two days before the official release, making Rin highly popular in Korea before she arrived. All the rest of her songs were already translated into Korean and the Korean album was to be released the day after the concert.
Mang sul eem obshi

Just the key of heart

The crowd cheered as the song ended. Rin took a bow and smiled pretty for the cameras.
Hikaru- San: YES! The official BoA the Live tour has started! Why is Sessh taking medications? Or better yet, how is she going to be taken in America? What more fun can we expect? Stay tuned. In the Meantime… R&R!!!!
