Chapter 5: The Concert

Both InuYasha and Kagome woke- up to his alarm clock… Kagome turned over on her side, she opened her eyes to see the most beautiful violet eyes that she had come to love. She smiled at him and he in returned smiled back after removing the stray hair that was in her face.

InuYasha: (Smiling) Good morning beautiful…

Kagome: (Blushing) Good morning handsome… We should get up, we have a very busy day today… The concert's tonight…

InuYasha: Oh that's right, I totally forgot about it for a minute… Are you ready to sell out the house?! (Getting excited)

Kagome: (Getting excited too) Hell yeah!!!

They started laughing at how much fun they were having at the moment until Kaede knocked on the door…

Kaede: (Speaking with dryness in her voice) Master InuYasha, I have prepared Lady Kagome's clothes for her and they are waiting for her in her room…

(Speaking from behind the closed door)

InuYasha: (Speaking loudly) Thank you Kaede, that'll be all, for now…

Kaede: (Speaking with dryness in her voice) Very well then sir…

She left and went downstairs with Totosai to assist him with preparing breakfast… Kagome moved to stand up until she was pulled back on the bed by InuYasha's strong arms…

InuYasha: (Pulling her into an embrace and dipping his head low to whisper in her ear) I'm really happy that you stayed the night with me Kagome; I really enjoyed your company…

Kagome: (Shuddering at his last words) I enjoyed being here with you, Thank you so much… (She backed away from his embrace and leaned in to plant a kiss upon his lips)

He gladly leaned forward for the kiss and their lips met… The kiss was short and passionate… InuYasha felt a wave of emotions coming through as he and Kagome kissed; he needed to explore more of her and wanted to so very badly. He inserted his tongue into her mouth and explored her caverns and soon her tongue decided to join in on the fun… Their tongues fought for dominance with neither one of them reigning victorious in the end and having to stop the 3 minute make-out session because of the lack of air.

Kagome: (Breathing heavily and blushing all at once) I need to go and get dressed and you do as well… So I'll see you at breakfast then…

InuYasha: (Smirking) You know we could get washed and dressed faster if we just took a shower together…

Kagome: (Returning his smirk) Yeah sure- NO!

InuYasha: (Putting on his pouting-baby face) Awwww, why!

Kagome giggled at his childish antics and proceeded towards the door and walked out to go towards her room. She then closed the door behind her and walked over towards the bathroom to take her a much needed shower; after her shower she got dressed and headed downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast. She walked into the kitchen to find InuYasha at the table reading the daily newspaper and then looking up at her with a warm-loving smile that she returned. She sat down at the table and waited for breakfast to come. Shortly after both Kaede and Totosai came in and presented the two teens with breakfast; they ate pancakes, bacon and eggs with orange juice. After breakfast was done InuYasha and Kagome got into InuYasha's car and headed towards the studio to go see Miroku and Sango for a meeting before the concert tonight.

They all sat in the Conference Room discussing tonight's events; both Sango and Miroku wanted them both to do 2 songs of their own and then the closing of the concert would be their duet. Both singers agreed that it was a great idea and chose to pick out 2 solo songs of theirs that they wanted to do and returned back to their managers on which of the songs they chose; both InuYasha and Kagome agreed to 2 songs each that would be about love and the other about the pain of love, both Miroku and Sango agreed to it and set it up. Kagome and InuYasha decided to rehearse their choreography and lyrics for the concert one last time.

It's now 6:00 pm and the concert will begin in 30 minutes and everyone is running around and getting together the last minute preparations for tonight's events; Sango prepared an order in which both InuYasha and Kagome would follow in

Kagome opening the show with her solo song called No One (love)

InuYasha following with his solo song Make Me Better (love)

Kagome in the following with Big Girls Don't Cry (hate to love song)

InuYasha following with his solo song Icebox (hate to love song)

Both InuYasha and Kagome performing the new duet song No Air

Time is now 6:30 pm and the seats of the concert filled quickly with tons of screaming fans The make-up artists were preparing both Kagome and InuYasha's make-up. Kagome quickly got dressed; she wore a spaghetti strapped dressed that criss-crossed in the back, her hair was up in a bun with strands hanging down on both sides of her face, she had on light make-up that accented her black dress along with silver Baby-Phat wedged heels that had the straps going up the legs and her dress stopped at her knees with a little cleavage showing at the breast part.

Upon seeing her exit her dressing room, InuYasha couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous at all the attention the male staff was giving her as she prepared to go on stage and he just couldn't help himself to mark "his" territory. He quickened his pace and caught up with her, spinning her around, he planted a passionate kiss upon her strawberry lips, he felt good about doing so after he got the much appreciated glares being thrown his way from the other males; 'Yea that's right bitches, Kagome is mine and yah hoe asses can't do shit about it and I dare one of yah try' he silently thought to himself. The kiss ended, leaving a very shocked Kagome standing there in awe.

Kagome: (Blushing) Thanks but umm… what was that for?

InuYasha: (Smirking) Nothing really… I just wanted to wish you good luck…

Kagome: (Smiling) Oh… well umm… thanks!

InuYasha: You're welcome…

She then exited up the stair well to the stage where thousands of both her and InuYasha's adoring fans were. As soon as she stepped out onto the stage, all was heard were cheers, cat- calls and applause for Kagome. She couldn't believe her eyes, this is what she dreamed her whole life

Kagome: ARE YOU READY TO GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!

The crowd cheered in agreement to her statement… Soon the lights gazed upon her beautiful form and the music started to play in the background as she started to sing…

No One (Kagome Singing):

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything is gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything is gonna be alright…

The crowd started singing along with Kagome as she closed her eyes and smiled.

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You… you… you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause
Everything is gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything is gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I'm telling you there is no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh...
Oh...
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you.

As the song ended, Kagome reopened her eyes to see millions of fans cheering and chanting her name. She never ever felt this complete before until now. Kagome bowed her head and quickly left the stage so that InuYasha could do his solo. Kagome, not watching where she was going, mistakenly bumped into InuYasha as he was proceeding to walk towards the stage

Kagome: (Smiling and gazing up at him) Oh Sorry about that Well (Taking a deep breathe while fixing his collar),good luck!

InuYasha: (Smirking) Thanks babe!

Before making his appearance on stage, InuYasha pulled Kagome into another passionate kiss and he almost laughed after he saw the shocked expression on her face.

InuYasha: (Smirking) What? It's for good luck (Chuckling).

He then ran towards the stage and as soon as he appeared behind the curtains, tons of fan girls went nuts.

As the music began he started to sing with Miroku doing the background singing

Make Me Better

[InuYasha & Miroku: Speaking]
Miro...
Hey… Inu ...
Loso...
Hey, Hey

The crowd started to clap along with the song

[Chorus: Miroku]
I'm a movement by myself
But I'm a force when we're together
baby I'm good all by myself
But baby u make me better
U make me better [X8]

[Verse 1: InuYasha]
You plus me it equals better math
Your boy a good look but she my better half
I'm already bossing already flossing
But why have the cake if it ain't got the sweet frosting?
(Yep, yep, yep, yep) Keeping me on my A game
(Wit, wit, wit, wit) Without having a say names
(They, they, they, they, they) They may flame
(But, but, but, but) But shorty we burn it up
The sag in my swag, pimp in my step
Daddy do the Gucci, mami in Giuseppes
Yes, it's a G- thang, Whenever we swing
I'ma need Coretta Scott if I'm gonna be king

[Chorus: Miroku]
I'm a movement by myself
But I'm a force when we're together
Mami I'm good all by myself
But baby u make me better
U make me better [X8]

[Verse 2: Miroku]
1st things 1st, I does what I do
But everything I am she's my influence
I'm already bossin I'm already fly
But if I'm a star, she is the sky
(I, I, I) And when I feel like I'm on top
(She, she, she) She give me reason to not stop
(And, and, and, and, and) And though I'm hot
(To, to, to) Together we burn it up

[InuYasha:]
The caked up cut, the cleaned up ice
When shorty come around, I clean up nice
Dynamic duo, Batman & Robin
Whoever don't like it, it's that mans problem
(And, and, and) And when I feel like I'm tired
(My, my, my) My baby taking me higher
(I, I, I, I, I) I'm on fire
(But, but, but) But shorty we burn it up

[Chorus: Miroku]
I'm a movement by myself
But I'm a force when we're together
Mami I'm good all by myself
But baby u make me better
U make me better [X8]

[Bridge: Miroku]
Cuz outside every great man you can find
A woman like a soldier holding him down

[InuYasha:]
She treats me like a don, watches for the hit
Checks where I go, even watches who I'm wit
The right when I'm wrong, so I never slip
Showed me how to move, that's why I never trip
And baby girl you so major
They should front page ya
God bless the parents who made ya
Middle finger anybody who hate the
Way we burn it up

[Chorus: Miroku]
I'm a movement by myself
But I'm a force when we're together
Mami I'm good all by myself
But baby u make me better
U make me better [X8]

[InuYasha: Speaking]
Yeah baby
Them lames u playin wit, they gon' put u down.
We trying to compliment you, you know? Make it better.
Top notch pimp
Nice look Ne-Yo
Living good Loso
They ask you how u doing now, tell 'em better then them.
Ha-ha-ha-hah!

[Chorus: Miroku]
I'm a movement by myself
But I'm a force when we're together
Mami I'm good all by myself
But baby u make me better
U make me better [X8]

The song ended and all the females in the crowd screamed, "We love you Inu!" He smirked.


InuYasha: And I love you too ladies!

He ran off the stage and behind the curtains to get dressed and ready for his next solo, plus he wanted to see and hear Kagome do her next solo as well.

Kagome was dressed and prepared for her next solo; she couldn't wait to get back out there on stage She was glad that the crowd loved InuYasha but why wouldn't they? She also took notice that she couldn't help to get a little jealous when all of the fan girls told him that they loved him as well, even though she couldn't figure out why She went on the stage and a ton of red roses were thrown at her feet by a ton of fan boys who asked her to marry them or be their girlfriend, she couldn't help but chuckle at them, it was a sweet gesture even though she knew that would never happen but she couldn't spoil their dreams, so instead, she blew a sexy kiss at them and they went nuts

She started to sing

Big Girls Don't Cry

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
Valentine

Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself, and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry....

The crowd cheered and chanted once the raven-haired beauty was done with her song. She quickly exited the stage once again

Now it was time for InuYasha's last and final single, he was excited nonetheless but couldn't help feel jealousy rise as he heard those fan boys ask his Kagome to marry them or either be their girlfriend He didn't know why he was jealous but he knew that he wanted her as well and didn't want anyone coming between them He went on stage and did his last song before the big Duet with Kagome

InuYasha (Icebox Lyrics):

Fussin' and fightin', we back at it again
I know that, it's my fault, but you don't understand (no)
I got memories, this is crazy
You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know
Good with ma, good with pa, cool with all my niggas
I should try, truth is I wanna let u in, but no
Damn these memories, and it's crazy
You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know

[Bridge]
Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'
It's no excuse, no excuse
But I got this

[Chorus 2x]
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold…

He started gyrating his hips to the music. The girls in the crowd started screaming and chanting his name.

Why can't I get it right, just can't let it go
I opened up, she let me down, I won't feel that no more
I got memories, this is crazy
She ain't nothing like the girl I used to know
I don't mean to take it out on you baby but I can't help it
'Cause my heart is in the same ol' condition that baby left it
And I, I apologize, for makin' you cry
Look me in my eye and promise you won't do me the same

[Bridge]
Girl I really wanna work this out, 'cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'
It's no excuse, no excuse
But I got this

[Chorus 2x]
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold

I don't wanna be stuck up in this cold cold world ('cause I don't wanna be) [2x]
Don't wanna mess this up better keep your eye on me girl [6x]

[Bridge]
Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'
It's no excuse, no excuse
But I got this

[Chorus 2x]
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)
I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold…

The song ended and InuYasha started panting hard from all the vocals he had to do The crowd went wild when they saw Kagome enter the stage with this sexy dress on; even InuYasha couldn't take his eyes off of her. She gracefully came beside him and as he looked down at her, she placed her smooth hand on the side of his face. The song began

No Air Lyrics
(feat. InuYasha)

Kagome:
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air…

Oooooohoooohooo! ahhhhh! ahhh!

Kagome:

If I should die before I wake
it's 'cause you took my breath away
losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh!

She started to walk around him as he stared at her

InuYasha:

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
my heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him and brushed his index finger across her soft skin

Kagome:
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe?

She quickly pulled away from him and faced the opposite direct towards the crowd

[Chorus by InuYasha]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

He started caressing the back of her waist as he pulled her into a strong embrace as he sung into her ear but loud enough so that audience could hear as well.

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

InuYasha:
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real.

He turned her body around so that she was facing him; he started to sing to her as if he truly meant the lyrics that were coming from his mouth. Kagome couldn't help but get drowned into his piercing amber eyes.

Kagome:
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care!

She caressed his cheek yet again

But how do you expect me,
to live alone with just me?

Oh!

Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe!

[Chorus by InuYasha and Kagome]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
It's no air, no air

Both started to sing as if the song was made for one another. They forgot about the audience full of fans and focused on one another because to them, that's all that me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

[Chorus by InuYasha and Kagome]

[Chorus by InuYasha and Kagome]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
(Kagome) Got me out here in the water so deep
(InuYasha) Tell me how you gon' be without me
(Kagome) If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
(InuYasha and Kagome) It's no air, no air

(Kagome and InuYasha)

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

They shared a long passionate kiss that seemed like forever, both realizing where they were, they turned toward the crowd and bowed their heads. Both were blushing from ear-to-ear as they waved their hands to the audience of adoring fans.

InuYasha and Kagome then started talking to the crowd

InuYash and Kagome: (Shouting) Did you guys enjoy the concert?!!

The audience started screaming, crying and shouting InuYasha and Kagome both smiled at the crowd and to one another, InuYasha took a hold of Kagome's hand and they both walked off the stage together hand-in-hand
