Golden Star Dreams

Finale: Taking a Detour to Greatness

I lied there underneath the now exhausted Inuyasha trying to catch my breath as he pushed his lips back into the crook of my neck. His claws grazed the skin on my sides, causing me to unwillingly arch my back and push my chest up against his own. A rumbling growl left him, leaving me to wonder what he was thinking. Suddenly my cell phone rang. My heart stopping longer than it should have, I gasped and used my strength to shove the grimy man from atop me and charge for my cell. Just as I sadly predicted, it was Sesshoumaru calling for me. What if he was looking for me at work and found out I wasn't home? Trying to suppress a small tear, I answered as quickly as I could.

"H-Hello?"

"Where are you?" Were the curtly said words that sent shivers down my spine.

'Should I lie? Tell the truth? Would he understand? …. No! I'm in the arms of his asshole half-brother, of course he would go into a rage?'

"Soshi?" He whispered again.

"Oh, um… I'm on my way home."

"… Really?"

"Y-Yes. I decided to walk there and back for the evening."

"Isn't it a little late for you to walking at night? It's almost 1: 30 in the morning."

I nearly squeaked in surprise when he gave me the time. 1: 30 A.M.? Gawd, how long did we go at it? But that isn't important. What really mattered was getting home before Sesshoumaru became too suspicious of my whereabouts.

"You're on your way back home correct?" He said interrupting my thought process.

"Yea! I'll be there in no time, ok? No need to worry."

"Hmm… I was thinking I would come get you from where you are. I'll feel much better knowing you're with me than walking around defenseless. You are a woman after all…"

"…Ok! See ya then. Love you bye!"

"By-"

Click.

I jumped to my feet and ran around frantically looking for my clothes while Inuyasha watched me from afar. His head was propped up on his arms as he remained lying on his side, a smirk on his face. I glared at him but made no attempt to speak my mind out of fear that if I did, I would sorely regret it. He had dirt on me… proof of my adultery, though forced. As I finished putting on the last of my clothing, I heard the quiet rustling on his couch indicating movement. Inuyasha merely stared at me with another hungry gaze before he decided to speak.

"You're coming back tomorrow right?" He asked with a wide grin.

"…"

"Then it's a date."

My teeth slid against one another with sheer anger by his comment. I knew he wouldn't hesitate to ruin my life if given the reason; no matter how minor said 'reason' was. If I even so much as tried to refuse him, he'd expose me in the next instant. Scoffing, I turned around and left from his office in a mad hurry to meet with Sesshoumaru before he realized which direction I was actually coming from.

To my fortune, I made it to the street that was part of my route back home just before I saw the limo make its way around the corner. In the back as expected was my beloved who seemed a bit irritated by sight of me. Oh Gawd? Is he suspicious of me already? With a quick sigh and a fake smile plastered on my face, I crawled in the back and sat across from him.

"How was work?" He said no sooner did I settle in the car.

I slightly jumped from the question, only because I knew I was about to lie… to his face…

"It was tiring…" I said quietly.

"Hmm… explains the hair doesn't it?"

Running my fingers through my locks, it occurred to me that I never had a chance to straighten my hair before coming to meet up for the ride. This was strike one…

"Uh… yea. It explains the hair… I was extremely stressed and I might have messed up my hair in the process… heh, y'know?"

"…" He merely nodded.

~~~(-.-)Inuyasha's POV in 3rd person (-.-)~~~

He slowly walked inside the door of his own penthouse closing it behind him as quietly as he could. The high-end apartment was eerily quiet, so he was hoping that it could remain that way until he got to his room. Of course he wouldn't be so lucky.

Kagome popped her head over the couch as he passed by, clicking on the table lamp next to her. She caught his attention and with arms angrily folded over each other, Kagome walked furiously over to her bastard boyfriend who was putting her through so much pain.

"Huh, so you're awake… Goodnight." Inuyasha said with annoyance in his words.

"Don't talk to me like that you ass!" Kagome shouted. She was going to give it to him this time. It was now or never, and she refused to be his doormat any longer.

"First Kikyou and now this Soshi bitch! How much pain do you wish to put me through before you realize that you're supposed to love ME! KA-GO-ME!"

He could see her tears begin to stream down her cheeks, but Inuyasha could honestly care less. With the woman screaming and blubbering non-stop, all he wanted to do was to be done with her. With a shrug, Inuyasha turned from the irate Kagome and started to walk back to his room, but the still screaming model placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

"What am I here for Inuyasha? You tell me you love me behind closed doors only to turn around and spit on our relationship in public! Why do I repulse you so? Do I me-"

"Now you know how it feels." He finally said before turning to glower at the stunned Kagome. "Anyways, get ready for next week when we take our trip to New York. Oh… and in the morning call Soshi and let her know that I won't need her 'services' during that time either. Now… Good. The Hell… Night."

He left her and all she could hear after a few moments of dead silence, was the slamming and faint clicking of a locked door. She covered her face to bawl her brown eyes out as she fell to her knees feeling defeated. The prick used her adulteries against her… again. How many times did she have to say she was sorry and grovel at his feet before he would forgive the poor model.

'It's his fault in the first place…' She thought sadly, but her sorrow would soon turn to a boiling rage, 'Soshi Ariko WILL pay...'

~~~(^^) Back to Soshi!~~~

The rest of my week had been… draining, to say the least…

Between keeping my boyfriend Sesshoumaru 'happy' and 'servicing' his grimy half-brother, my body screamed with relief when I realized that I had one more day of juggling my body around before my reprieve would come.

But of course, relief didn't automatically mean happiness. I was still feeling a horrible amount of guilt in my heart and the more I thought about it, the worse I felt… My conscience was screaming for me to just confess; telling me it'll be alright in the long run; that my release from Inuyasha's grasp is to be up-front with Sesshoumaru… And even if he never wants to see me again…

At least I won't have to go back to his younger brother…

Walking into the living room, I saw him watching a bit of television, his golden eyes fixated on a movie. He looked up to me with his normally stoic face, and with small smile, I sat down next to him. Strangely enough, Sesshoumaru extended an arm out for me so I could rest my head on his chest. With a huge sigh, I looked up to him but before I could open my mouth to speak, he beat me to the punch.

"So I've been thinking." He started.

"Abouuut?"

"About you and your dream to be an actress."

"Oh? What about it?"

"A few days ago, Kendra had told me that I'll be flying to New York to work on this new apocalyptic-type movie. We'll be there for at least a year or so…"

With a raised eyebrow, I wriggled myself from his arm to get a better view of his face. 'New York?' I thought rather happily.

"Around the same time there should be auditions for this Broadway play that I think you should attend." Suddenly he took one of my hands and kissed it. "I know I haven't really been teaching you much, so I'm hoping that this could make up for it. If you get a part in the play, no matter how small, I'll actually hold my end of the bargain and teach you a thing or two about acting."

Unable to contain my instant excitement, I nearly tackled Sesshoumaru in a giant embrace; my arms squeezing the life out of him by his neck. With ease, he uncoiled my arms and plopped me back down on my seat before landing a sweet kiss on my lips. I could already see it: Me, center stage and giving the best damn performance that the audience has never witnessed in their entire lives; hoards of bouquets of roses all at my dressing room; envious looks from the lesser talented and my name in the New York lights! But it did seem a little bittersweet…

All my life I wanted to be a famous Hollywood actress. I breathed, thought, and lived for 'The Town of Stars', worked my butt off just to get an apartment that was merely next to Hollywood. My dreams… all were centered on that one shining city… Ironically, it seemed as if my dreams would come true at the opposite side of the country, and I had to giggle quietly to myself.

I guess my next step to achieving greatness is sacrificing one life for another…

Time to take a detour to New York!

...Wait... NEW YORK!

That's where... he's... supposed... to be...

No good can come of this...

~~~(^^)End(^^)~~~

Whelp the Golden Star Crew is headed to New York! Sorry the finale was so short, but I figured I could save some of the material for the sequel when they're actually in New York :3 Now I know the ending was rather... not as epic... BUT this is a learning curve for when I finish out the next story! New Characters and more wacked-out drama coming your way! Keep on the lookout guys and thanks for reading 'Golden Star Dreams'!

(^^)^ Bye~
