Hello! So this is actually my first story that I'm posting so please don't kill me. And yes I know there are similar stories out there with a battle of the bands theme thing and I will try to not make my story the same as theirs. Now it might take some time to make the story to be the kagome + sesshoumaru love story I want but bear with me while I get the story up and running.

I don't own inuyasha but I wish I owned sesshoumaru because he is divine. And I don't own any of the songs I will be using in my chapters. I'm simply using them because they give me inspiration.

Kagome P.O.V

It had all started in September. I Transferred to this new school for my last year as a high school student, it's been 3 weeks since school started and I was bored out of my mind already. Course this was no ordinary school, the main event at this school was this Battle of the bands thing, apparently it's been going on for 3 years now. The only thing that sucked about me transferring was that I didn't know anyone. My style changed every day so it's not liked I fit in with any of the clicks, One day I would wear dark depressing clothes only to wear preppy clothes the next and then some days I just went in plain ' I don't give a crap' wear sweatpants to school day.

Oh maybe I should ramble on about boring things. So this day oh this faithful day started in P.E class, our lovely teacher decided that she wanted us to play volleyball out in the sun where it was hotter than hell. Boy do I just want to punch her, she gets to stand under a tree in the shade and watch while we kids have to get heat stroke playing a damn game. But at least she took some pity on us and let us go in early to take a shower before our next class or in this case most of us had lunch after this class. I'm kind of a loner at this point in time so I go to the second shower area where no one else ever really goes and I forgot that I wasn't at home and I did what I normal do when I take a shower… I sang. I'm actually a fairly good singer, so my brother says; I think I could be better.

"I'm laying here dreaming, staring at the ceiling, Wasting the day away
The world's flying by our window outside But hey baby that's okay
This feels so right, it can't be wrong so far as I can see Where you wanna go
Baby, I'll do anything

'Cause if you wanna go Baby, let's go
If you wanna rock, I'm ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down, We can slow down together
If you wanna walk, Baby, let's walk
Have a little kiss, Have a little talk
We don't gotta leave at all We can lay here forever
Stay here forever, oh"

Little did I know a girl who was on her way out stopped and listen to me sing. For the time being let's call her bunny, after a few moments she walked away but don't worry she will be back in my little story soon.

Oh my, how could I forget I didn't tell you my name yet. Well hello there my name is Kagome Higurashi and I'm 17 and I got to Tokyo's most advanced school Crystal Shikon H/U. During the day it's a High school and at night it's a university. Only a small amount out of people get to go to the university though, mostly demons and a few very gifted humans. Basically for a human like me (well actually I'm a miko) have to finish almost all of their classes before their senior year. I have completed that, all I have is a college prep class, Math (but all I do is help the teacher because I passed the level test she gave us on the first day), P.E oh and I decided that I wanted to take the dance class and apparently it's not a very popular class because I'm the only one in it and boy does the teacher hate me. Doesn't bug me that I'm the only one in it, but the teacher gets so frustrated with me because I know practically everything she comes up with to teach me. My strong point is ballet on pointe; it's so much of a rush…. Like I'm flying or something, to bad no one really appreciates ballet that much anymore. Oh I'm rambling again.

Let's see where was I in the story….. oh yes, I finished my shower and got dressed in my Dance clothes, today I picked out my black tights, Black leotard a black wrap jacket and then I put my sweats on so that no one looks at me funny and then I slip on my little black ballet flats. I guess you can say I love the color black … even though my art teacher a few years ago said that black is not a color it's a shade I still call it a color. I walk out of the locker room and head towards the cafeteria for lunch, I really dislike the cafeteria, always so loud and nowhere to sit but at least I get along with the lunch lady. She is so nice and always knows what I want. Usually I get a salad, fruit, and a small piece of bread and a water to drink, so she has is all set up on a tray for me when I walk in. I'm always the last to get lunch but that's okay she says I'm the easy one to deal with. As I walk in she grabs my tray and hands it to me and I smile back and say thank you and pay for my lunch, the next thing I know someone grabs my arm and starts to pull me towards a table. She sits me down at the end of the table and then sits next to me and smiles. To say I was creped out would be an understatement.

As I look across the table I see a boy who's writing away in his book not even noticing me or the girl next to me. Now that I notice it, he looks a lot like the girl…. They must be related.

"Hi, I'm Sango and this is my brother Kohaku, and I heard you singing in the locker room and I have to say you sounded really good"

I was a little nervous now, was she just saying I was good to be nice or did she really like it?

"Well…. Thank you, my name is kagome I just transferred here this year"

"We want you to join our band, see we need a singer and normally I would sing but you are way better than I am". The look in Sango's eyes was nothing but desperation, it's like she really needed me to join.

"Your part of that battle of the bands thing?" I asked

"Yeah it's really fun, but we need more people for our band"

For a little while after she said that I went deep into thought, while it would be fun I have a small fear of stage fright. I sighed, I knew I was about to sign up for my doom.

"Well it might be fun but what kind of style of music do you play?" I asked just being curious.

"Well see that's the fun part, There's a new challenge every week, were not looking forward to the country week though, we just know they will through that into the play". She really did seem so excited though.

Here I go, let the doom begin "I'll do it but I should mention I have a small stage freight thing".

"Don't worry I can help you with that, this is going to be so much FUN" Yeah she sure was happy. "Meet us at the auditorium after school the first meeting for the battle is today" Sango explained as she gathered her stuff to head off to class. Kohaku and I sat there for a few minutes, he didn't say a thing just left once he finished writing a few things down. And that was that, I sat there the rest of the lunch time slowly eating my lunch wondering what the hell I had just gotten myself into. Once the bell rang I dumped my lunch and went off to my dance class. And today was just annoying in that class. We did our warm up as usual, and then she wanted to touch up on a little bit of jazz and contemporary. Then for about 15 minutes she tortured me with hip hop (I suck at hip hop) I swear she gets satisfaction knowing that hip hop is my least favorite. Then for the rest of the time she had me on pointe. And I swear she got more satisfaction watching me struggle with Fouette turns. I'm not totally sure what it is about them that scares me … Maybe it's the fear of falling and hurting myself. Oh well.

Once the bell rings I gather my stuff and leave class and head towards the auditorium. As I walk in I already see Sango and her brother sitting down, I join them and start to look around. Most of the people in the room are demons. There is probably 2 other human besides my small group and that scares me. Competing against demons is not a very good idea, they get very competitive and things can get out of hand. After about 10 minutes the principal walks in, everyone calls him Master Totosai , he is such a nice old man and when I mean old I mean like really old, he is one of them demons that just might live forever or at least until he is like dries up and blows away.

"Welcome young ones, I won't be long I just came in to say hi and to tell you guys to keep the competition clean, I also wish you the best of luck and now let's welcome back Tai and Anna lord knows they are ready to get this competition started"

And with that 2 people walked into. The male who I'm guessing was Tai was a rather tall guy, he had black hair and goldish brown eyes, and man can that guy make wearing a tux look divine. His sister Anna was just a little shorter than him, her hair was just slight a darker black than his and her eyes were more brownish too, and she wore a skirt that just made her legs look like they go on forever. Tai stopped about halfway to the stage and threw his hands up in the hair and yelled at the top of his lungs HELLO! Everyone laughed while his sister just shook her head and walked up towards Totosai. She hugged him and then turned to us and started to say stuff that I wasn't really paying any attention to.

"Guys we have an amazing competition planned out already but first it's sad to see the groups look so small I think we need to hold auditions"

"Why Anna I think we do too, so here's the deal guys, this week we want you to do auditions and get a few more members for your group, just remember though bigger is not always better"

"And then next week we will have you all come back and we can do introductions then does that seem fair guys?" Everyone said yes so Anna then let us go. Since I wasn't paying attention much Sango had grabbed my arm and ushered me outside to sit on a bench so we could talk as a group. First she had to snap me out of my trance though.

"KAGOME! Are you awake in there?"

"I am now thanks"

"Well we need a name, I hadn't thought of a name for our group yet and let's see we need a bass and a key for the band, kohaku can do bass but he prefers to play just a guitar for a more acoustic sound. Can you think of anything else kagome?"

"Nope, but then again I don't know much about playing music all I do is sing"

After at we both brainstormed for a good 10 minutes and neither of us came up with a name for the band. All the things I thought of just wouldn't fit or sounded funny. But I noticed that kohaku and had a thought because he started to nudge his sister to get her attention. Finally after about a minute I slapped her.

"HEY! What was that for?" I pointed to her brother. He pushed his notebook over to her and pointed at a few words.

"Masquerade Legacy... well that actually sounds pretty cool".

"I like it" I chimed in.

"So it's settled our band name is Masquerade Legacy. Kohaku you're the boom" she said as she hugged her brother. Seeing that reminded me that I had totally forgotten all about my brother. I jumped up and practically ran off, he was going to be so mad at me for making him wait.

"Well she sure left in a hurry, come on little brother time to go home"

"Late as usual sister" he tried so hard to say without laughing.

"I'm sorry souta I kind of got roped into joining that battle of the bands thing and I forgot that you were

waiting for me" I said almost breathless from running.

"Well now… I might have to actually audition just to annoy you…. Who knows maybe ill be good enough to join a group?"

"souta you play the guitar like no one else could". He smiled at me and then we started our walk home. Souta is a year older than me. Before I was born my dad had this one night stand with some lady who happened to be a demon, she was a beautiful woman but was hated by a lot of people. About 3 months after that day, dad met my mom and they knew right away that they were meant for each other. They married a month later and 9 months after that she found out she was pregnant with me. At that point my brother had been born. He was about 6 months old when he came to stay with my family, His mother was murdered and her brother had tracked my father down and gave him the baby and birth certificate, my mom was 3 months pregnant with me. I was born not long after he turned 1. When I turned 4 our father was in a car accident and passed away. I hadn't slept in 2 days because all I wanted was my dad to come in and sing for me. At this point my grandfather was tired and my mother was beyond tired and emotionally a wreck so she just put me down in my bed and left the room. After 20 minutes my brother had come in with his little guitar that our dad had bought him and he played it. Within a few minutes I was sound asleep and ever since then when I couldn't sleep he would play for me. When it came time for him to go to school that end of summer he refused. He said he would wait and we would go together so he could always be there for me. And that's how it was; we went to school together and did everything together. He grew at a faster rate than I did (because he is half demon) so everyone always thought we were a funny pair. We look a lot alike, same hair color for the most part, my hair just has a slight blue tint to it, and our eyes are both an ocean blue. While his eyes are slightly dull mine are electric he is jealous of them but won't admit it.

Once we got home we smelt our moms wonderful cooking, our grandfather was sitting in the living room yelling at the TV. Just a normal day at the Higurashi house hold. After dinner we both do our homework and then as usual he plays guitar while I sing until I fall asleep.
