Sing a Song with Me

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the characters from it. I also don't own the songs I mention. Heh.

"Uuuuuggghhhh"
Inuyasha woke up to the loud drum solo in the other room. It had awaken him from his dream of winning a MTV Music Award. It took him a minute to realize what was going on. Sharing an apartment with Miroku wasn't easy on his sanity.
He lay there for a minute while the loud drumming went on. Then he shifted so that he faced the alarm clock on the side of his room.
2:37 am
"What the hell?..." Inuyasha grudgingly picked himself up from bed. He grumbled to himself while putting on a shirt. (a/n: o stop drooling! He sleeps in his boxers okay?!)
He stalked over to the door, past the kitchen to where Miroku's room was. He opened, or slammed rather, the door. He stood in the doorframe and glared at the source of noise. There in the middle of the room was Miroku behind his drum set. . .in his plaid boxers, a T-shirt and sunglasses. The startled look on his face was priceless but Inuyasha was too pissed to notice.
It took a moment for Miroku to realize who had just stormed in and relaxed. He gave Inuyasha a goofy grin and took off the shades.
"What's up?"
Inuyasha just stared at him dully.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?! IT'S TWO IN THE FUCKING MORNING!"
Miroku blinked and looked over at the clock which was sitting in the corner of his room.
"Heh...so it is..."
Inuyasha calmed himself before he killed the drummer in his band. Good drummers were hard to come by.
"Miroku, buddy," he said through clenched teeth, "care to tell me WHY you are PRACTICING in the MIDDLE of the goddamned NIGHT?" Inuyasha emphasized each word.
"Oh...uh...I guess I got carried away. Ya know...with the upcoming concert and all...heh heh..." Miroku gave a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his head.
Inuyasha slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand. He didn't hold back on the loudness now.
"THE CONCERT IS IN THREE FUCKING DAYS!"
Miroku looked blank.
"Ah. I guess I forgot...heh..."
Inuyasha looked like he was going to strangle him. Miroku edged away slowly. Inuyasha took a deep breath before talking again.
"Look, get some sleep and wake me up in a good 8 hours or else I will have to find a replacement drummer for that concert. GOT IT?"
And with that he left the room, slamming the door on the way out.
"If Sango saw this side of him..." Inuyasha grumbled to himself as he walked back into his own room. He plopped into bed and listened for any noise coming from the next room. Much to his relief, there was none. Inuyasha rolled over and fell asleep thinking about that MTV Music Award.
~*~*~
~We live our lives standing frozen to the spot,
Unable to cry out, for eternity...~
Kikyou stepped back from the microphone as the song ended. (a/n: Yes she's the singer! It'll change, don't hurt me!) After lingering on the last few chords of Fukai Mori, Inuyasha put his electric guitar down. It was red with black flames. The rest of their band thought it suited his personality well.
Following his suit, Sango put down her bass, which had a rose snaking up the side. Miroku laid his drumsticks, crossed, on his stool. They all took a seat at the bench in the far corner of the room.
"Oy, 6:15 already?" Sango said as she glanced at her watch. She began packing up her bass. "I gotta get going. The boss'll be mad if I'm late again. Great rehearsal guys! We'll be prepared for that concert!"
Sango grabbed her coat and walked to the door of Kikyou's garage, the only free space for them to practice in. She gave Miroku a quick glance before leaving.
Miroku sighed and looked after her. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. It was obvious that they liked each other. Then Miroku turned to face the lead guitarist.
"We'd better get going too, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha nodded and directed his attention towards Kikyou.
"Thanks again. I'll see you later, 'kay?" He said and gave her a peck on the cheek. He put his guitar away and walked out with Miroku.
Despite the tips to never date the people you work with, Inuyasha and Kikyou have been together since the start of their band, Shikon no Tama, which was roughly for about a year or so.
Inuyasha seemed pretty preoccupied because he didn't notice when Kikyou flinched as he kissed her...
~*~*~
That night when Inuyasha and Miroku got home, they were both exhausted. They walked 10 blocks home in a very busy city with instruments. They didn't bother with a taxi. Being in a band had perks but it didn't always guarantee you money. Miroku plopped down on the couch and flipped through the tv guide. Inuyasha went to check the answering machine.
They got their usual calls. Sango called to schedule their next rehearsal from earlier in the day that. Their manager, Kouga, talking about record deals. Inuyasha cringed at the obvious smirk in Kouga's voice. And last was a phone call for Miroku from his mom. Inuyasha grinned as he listened.
" ...and Miroku, dear, don't forget to change your you-know-what's everyday! Be a good boy for mummy and daddy! Eat well, get sleep, clean the house every now and then, don't forget to do the dishes..."
Inuyasha deleted that message. Miroku could do without hearing that one...but it was good blackmail...
One more message than usual was left on the answering machine and from the automatically recorded time, it was made just after Inuyasha and Miroku left for home. With a bit of interest, Inuyasha listened as the message was played.
"Um...hey...Inuyasha? It's me Kikyou...I just wanted to call you to tell you and Miroku to meet me at Sengoku Jedai tomorrow at noon. I have something to tell you guys...um...okay bye."
(a/n: Sengoku Jedai their burger hangout place. Freaky huh?)
Inuyasha frowned slightly. Kikyou sounded worried and nervous, not to mention not very happy. He shrugged it off. Whatever it was, it could wait until tomorrow.
~*~*~
At Sengoku Jedai, Miroku had gone to the bathroom and left Inuyasha at the booth they sat in. Kikyou wasn't here yet and it was almost 12:30.
Inuyasha was drinking a milkshake and lost in deep thought about what Kikyou wanted to talk about. He knew it definitely wasn't about their relationship because she asked Miroku to come. Is Sango gonna be here too?...
"Hey."
He looked up and saw Sango sit down in their booth.
"Guess so..." he muttered to himself.
"What?"
"Uh...nothing."
"Oh. So do you know what Kikyou wanted to talk about? I think its about the band but I'm not sure...she sounded kind of upset when she called me. And I wonder where she is. She's half an hour late."
As if on cue, Kikyou walked in. Sango waved from their booth and Kikyou spotted them. She walked over and took a seat across from Inuyasha, next to Sango.
Inuyasha didn't bother waiting.
"So what is this about?"
"Good one Inuyasha." Sango thought. She would have voiced her opinion but her interest kept her mouth shut.
Kikyou looked around nervously.
"Um...shouldn't Miroku be here too?"
Inuyasha shrugged.
"Last time I checked, he was in the bathroom. But I don't think it takes twenty minutes to go..."
Then there was an ear-piercing scream coming from the staff room.
"AAAAHHHH!!! PERVERT!!"
*SLAP*
"Looks like we found him." Sango muttered. "Excuse me"
She stalked over to where the scream had come from and dragged out a Miroku with a handprint on his cheek. Sango threw him on the seat next to Inuyasha and glared at him before looking back at Kikyou.
"You were saying?"
Kikyou gave everyone an apologetic look and took a deep breath.
"I'm quitting Shikon Jewel."
~*~*~
A/N: Ahahaha!! Cliffhanger on the first chapter!! Anyway, tell me how it was but be nice! It was my first fiction. I'll stop writing if I don't get any good comments. I'll update as much as I can but I can't promise! REVIEW PLEASE
