Fade and Flare - An Inuyasha Fanfic by Pink

The Story

What's it about?

Kagome is Japan's number one pop star; all she wants is to maintain the lifestyle she loves, no matter how emotionally taxing it is. All her intrusively attentive manager Inuyasha wants is her... to succeed, of course.

Yes, Inuyasha and Kagome get together. It really shouldn't be a surprise. XD

Chapters:

Chapter 1 - Dinner Date @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"I just want to see him..." Absentmindedly Kagome reached into her purse, running her fingertips across the smooth plastic of her cell phone.
Chapter 2 - Past to Present @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
Kagome was slightly disappointed that she didn't have anyone to talk to; she couldn't sleep. Hojo's cell phone was probably turned off for the night.
Chapter 3 - Rehearsal @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"Yuri-chan, if we can do this in three tries, I'll..."

"She'll not fire you," Inuyasha interrupted, glaring at the dancer standing apologetically in front of Kagome.
Chapter 4 - Risk vs. Reward @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
What started as one of the sweetest surprise visits Hojo had ever paid her became a nightmare. No, that's not true. A nightmare involves sleep, she thought bitterly.
Chapter 5 - Fumbling Forward @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
Inuyasha gazed into Kagome's sleeping face as she kept her grip on his collar. In a far, dark corner of his mind he reveled in the fact that he loved his job.
Chapter 6 - The Beach @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
Kagome's famous smile could only stretch so far to distract from what little privacy she had left.

That famous smile was across Kagome's face at the moment, as she and Sango played in the waves.
December 2005 Christmas Special - Mistletoe @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
A quick interlude of a Christmas past...
Chapter 7 - Boys and Men @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"Oh well," Kagome finally sighed aloud. "I can't deny that you're nice to look at."

"Wait, wha--" Inuyasha wouldn't finish his next question.
Chapter 8 - Uncertain Terms @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"Come on, do I really need to spell it out for you, Inuyasha?"

"It's... n-not bad to b-be clear about things."
Chapter 9 - Weight of the World @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
What would I do without you, Inuyasha?"

"Burn someone else into the ground."
Chapter 10 - Frustration (Lime Warning!) @ Mediaminer (Uncensored) @ Fanfiction.net
"Inuyasha..." she knew he would hear. Would he stop?
Chapter 11 - Brutal Honesty @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
As the days passed it was pretty apparent to Kagome that Hojo had not cheated on her, though it was clear that their fighting brought out other problems they had previously just ignored.
Chapter 12 - End and Beginning @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"Oh, so you admit it?"

Inuyasha paused, momentarily disarmed. "Wha?"

The young woman stood and nudged Inuyasha into the wall using her belly, speaking with her hands on her hips. "You think I'm sexy," she breathed in a low, husky voice.
Chapter 13 - Los Angeles (Lemon Warning!) @ Mediaminer (Uncensored) @ Fanfiction.net
"You're crazy!"

"You're crazy! Do you want me or not?" Kagome sighed.
Chapter 14 - In the Genkan (Lemon Warning!) @ Mediaminer (Uncensored) @ Fanfiction.net
She sniffled, starting to wipe her eyes.

Make it go away.
Chapter 15 (Part 1) - Consequences, Part 1 @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"What's wrong? You're panicking."

"Is that so tough to fathom?" she nearly shrieked in reply. "I'm terrified and my damned hands aren't cooperating! I'm just trying not to fall backwards, okay?"
Chapter 15 (Part 2) - Consequences, Part 2 @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
With a deep breath, she finally allowed her eyes to comb over its black text:

Resignation Letter
Chapter 16 @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
Tears welled up in her widened eyes as she leaped from the bench, running into an open embrace.

"Hide-chan!"
Chapter 17 - Doing Without (Lemon Warning!) @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
Though her alcohol tolerance went up a little more over time, she had no desire to drink as much as others did, but enjoyed the company. -Anything- was better than being alone in that massive apartment of hers for too long.
Chapter 18 - I'll Always Love You @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
The focus he'd exerted to catch her was wavering, but he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't," breathed Kagome, who couldn't find any words at the moment. The halogen hall lights burned her eyes.
Chapter 19 - I've Always Known @ Mediaminer @ Fanfiction.net
"Two crying girlfriends," he grumbled under his breath, joining her on the floor when he was finished.
