Disclaimer: Inuyasha does not belong to me. If it did, would I be here right now, or would I be in Oahu, Hawaii enjoying my (rich)vacation?
DL: Heya! How are you? This is my second Inuyasha fic I've uploaded to if you count the one in my 'Story Graveyard', and I would like to thank 'Striking Falcon' for finally giving me inspiration to write a story based on such a wonderful show. Her stories wereamazing. Clap for her, if you please. (Claps) Also, this black feline beside me is Shadowpaw, and she shall be in the commentaries with me.
Shadowpaw: I'm notall black. My paws and the tip of my tail are white!
DL: Whatever. Also, the characters in the story will sometimes pop in. The characters that are in here are: Inuyasha, Kagome, Souta, Sesshoumaru, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, etc. But not necessarily in that order. There are really only two main characters in this story. And not the ones you expected when you clicked to read this. (Points at main characters on the top of the screen) This is a tribute to my friend, Whitney, who doesn't like how Inuyasha ended up, and for all of you Inuyasha fans who just love that hot youkai! (Did I just write that? Good lord…help me!)
Shadowpaw: Will ya stop beating around the bush and freakin' get on with the story?!
DL: Geez, alright, already! (Ahem) This is the first chapter of 'Silent Tears', and I hope you enjoy it.
Warning: This is my first Inuyasha story where I'm really focusing on writing it, so please don't flame me unless I have Inuyasha's last name misspelled or I get Kagome's eye color wrong (the latter because I'm making her eyes whatever color pleases me…meh, I know. Pitiful.)
One does not embrace the leopard. – A Jabo (Liberia) Proverb
The sunlight slowly crept into the window through the crack in the curtain with the encouragement of the birds' songs. It seemed to slink around like a cat until it reached her bed, and then enveloped the blanket as it settled on her. Kagome squinted her closed eyes against the sunlight and tried to block it, but it was her fault for having a window that faced the East. She tried to roll over and relax when a sharp ringing got her attention. She grumbled as she slammed her fist onto the alarm clock, getting angry as it wouldn't be quiet. She finally got it to shut up by knocking it off of the stand and sending it crashing to the floor. She gave a sigh of relief as she turned over and went back to sleep.
The trees by the shrine waved in the small breeze, with birds singing brightly towards the sun rising over the horizon. The songs seemed to fly in through Kagome's open window and tickle her ear as she slept soundly, in her silky smooth pajamas. She had stayed up late last night looking out of the window and thinking. She had gotten so tired that she barely got into her pajamas before she fell onto her bed, asleep before her head hit the pillow.
What was she thinking about?
She had been transferred from her old high school to another school, leaving her old friends behind. They promised to send emails and such, as well as to visit to check up on her, but…it was still sad for her to be leaving them. Now she would have to go through school and make new friends instead of hang out with the ones she's had since elementary.
Now, as she moved in her bed, her door slowly creaked open, and a figure walked into her room. It moved slowly, creeping up to the foot of her bed. It stopped as she stretched and mumbled something in her sleep, and waited until she was still again before it walked over and stood beside her bed. It held up something in its hand that looked strangely like a gun…
"Wake up, sis!"
Kagome's eyes snapped open only to be greeted by her brother's squirt gun. She sat up quickly and tried to guard her face as Souta ran off, laughing maniacally. She growled and yelled, "Souta!"
"What did you do to your sister now, Souta?" Their mother said as he walked into the kitchen snickering. He hid the squirt gun behind his back and replied quickly, "Nothing."
"Uh huh." She said doubtfully as Kagome yelled at him from upstairs. "And did you tell your sister that?"
"Uhh…" Souta scratched the back of his head nervously. "Heh heh…"
"Souta!" He turned at the sound of his name and yelped as an angry Kagome stood there, nostrils flaring, as water dripped from her wet pajamas. She pointed a finger at him and said, "You're gonna pay for that, you little brat!"
He ran in fear, and Kagome was about to chase after him when her mother said, "Aren't you forgetting what time it is, Kagome?" She stopped, blinking in confusion, and her mother pointed at the clock. Kagome stared at it for a moment, thinking, before something clicked…
"Aah! I'm gonna be late!"
As she ran back upstairs to get dressed, Souta poked his head into the kitchen and said, "Thanks for saving me, Mom!" She just nodded, a smile on her lips as Souta grabbed his lunch and his backpack and ran out the door.
Kagome rushed to get dressed as she mumbled, "Oh man, nice day to be late! I hope I'm not too late…" She shrugged off the idea as she tried to hop out of her room as she put her other shoe on her foot. She failed, however, as she became unbalanced and fell down, holding her head as her mother called worriedly, "Are you alright, dear?'
After she assured her mom she was 'fine', she shoved her foot into the shoe and ran down the stairs two at a time, nearly making her knees buckle as she landed on the ground floor and ran into the kitchen once more. She grabbed the lunch her mother made on the table, gave her a good-bye hug, and ran out the door listening to her mother yell, "Good luck, honey!"

Kagome's troubles didn't end that morning, however. No, siree. She got lost as soon as she entered the building, leaving her frustrated as she tried to make sense of the map. She didn't notice where she was going as she stared at it, however, and ended up bumping into someone unintentionally.
She looked up and immediately said, "I'm sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!"
The girl in front of her smiled as she looked at the flustered Kagome. She had dark brown that was almost black like Kagome's, except it was pulled up into a ponytail with a black scrunchie. She wore a shirt that suspiciously looked as if it was supposed to be a guys and regular blue jeans, with black sneakers that had a small pink touch. At least she wasn'tall that tomboy looking.
"That's alright!" The girl nodded at her, and Kagome smiled gratefully as she explained her clumsiness. "I can't find my way to my first class, so I must have been too preoccupied…"
"How about I help you?"
"Really?" Kagome's eyes twinkled as the girl nodded. "Oh, thank you!"
"No prob. Oh," She held out her hand. "my name's Sango."
"I'm Kagome." She shook her hand with a smile as she thought, I've already made a friend! Maybe this won't be so bad after all…
DLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDL
Surprisingly, Sango was in some of her classes, including her first. That made Kagomeextremely happy, seeing as Sango was the only person she knew in this school. They even had lunch together, much to their delight. They were unprepared, however, for what happened a little while after they sat down…
"Who's that?" Kagome pointed at someone in the lunch line. Her new friend turned to get a better look as she saw who she meant. A guy stood there casually, wearing baggy coffee-colored jeans and a black t-shirt with something written on it. His white hair was unnaturally long for a guy, making Kagome wonder why he kept it so long. He seemed to be bored as he yawned and scratched one of his dog ears in tedium.
"Oh, him? His name's Inuyasha, part of the Taishou family. Although," Sango admitted as he picked off a piece of invisible lint off of his ear and flicked it away in annoyance, "he doesn't seem to try to be a part of it. Between his brother and his father, it's like World War III is going to happen or something."
"Brother?" Kagome wondered as she watched the hanyou go through the rest of the line. The girl in front of her nodded as she continued, "He has a half-brother, but they always get into fights. They don't seem to like each other much."
Kagome nodded quietly as she watched him pay for his lunch and began his walk towards the tables. Then, after a thought, she got up and walked towards him, causing a startled Sango to call her. She didn't stop, however, until the hanyou noticed that she was coming closer, and they stopped before each other as she looked at his face with curiosity. He seemed to be curious as well, although he tried to hide it, and he remained calm as she smiled at him. "Hi! I'm Kagome." She held out her hand in immediate acceptance.
He looked at her oddly, her kindness puzzling to him, and he mumbled distractedly, "I'm Inuyasha…"
She nodded, that sunny smile still on her face, as she asked, "Would you like to sit with me and my friend?"
Inuyasha seemed baffled by her behavior, but before he could say 'no' she said, "I'm new to this school, so I want to try to meet as many people as possible!" After a moment, she added, "That is, if you don't have something better to do."
He couldn't exactly find a reason to say no to her, and so he sighed in defeat and shrugged, but he couldn't help but smile slightly as she said warmly, "Great!" She gently grabbed his arm and pulled him along until she returned to the surprised Sango with an equally shocked hanyou. She gestured for him to sit down, and he awkwardly found a spot beside Kagome as she sat down, smiling triumphantly.
As Inuyasha tried to adjust to his new surroundings, Kagome peered at his shirt curiously and asked him, "What does your shirt say?"
"What? You mean this?" He held it up slightly so she could have a better look at it. "It's the name of my band!"
"You have a band?" Kagome asked incredulously as she read the words 'Tetsusaiga'. The hanyou beside her nodded, talking with some chicken in his mouth, "We're not that famous, but we still have some fans. Our bass player made these shirts and –"
"Can you at leastswallow it before you spray it all over us?" Sango complained, ignoring her friend's giggling as Inuyasha rolled his eyes and gulped it down quickly. He glared at her and growled, "As I was saying…"
DLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDL
Lunch was actually really good, considering Kagome had gained a new friend. Well, he wasn't exactly a friend, but he seemed to smile a little whenever they laughed at one of his jokes. He liked the attention he got from them, secretly hoping that they would invite him more often. He didn't question why he suddenly seemed to be so open to those two, but it must have been the way that Kagome could make him smile. It seemed that she could make anyone smile with her wonderful laugh, and Sango actually told Inuyasha that behind Kagome's back as she went to go get more to drink.
He was a bit sorry he didn't have a class with either of them before lunch, but he did have the one after that as well as the end of the day with both of them. It seemed to be a stroke of pure luck that he was approached by Kagome and earned two quick friends. He wondered if that was how she always got friends, and he tried to imagine how many other friends she might have. When he asked her at lunch before they left, however, she said she had only three other friends from her childhood, which surprised the hanyou.
As he walked with them to the next class, he groaned inwardly as he remembered why he was so irritated before he met Kagome. The class after lunch was History class, and although that wasn't the reason he was so annoyed it didn't help in the least.
As Kagome and Sango followed the hanyou into the classroom, she could feel the sudden tension coming from her newer friend. She looked up at him in surprise as he seemed to suddenly get into 'ticked' mode. She looked at Sango to question her, but she seemed as shocked as she was. She looked back at the hanyou only to see what upset him so…
"Hello, hanyou. Are these humans your friends as well?"
Even just hearing his voice made Kagome stress out a bit as she heard the loathing meant especially for Inuyasha. It was hard to see what he was thinking by looking at his stone face, but it rang loud and clear in his taunt that he disliked Inuyasha for all he was worth. He had long bluish-silver hair that was even longer than Inuyasha's, striking Kagome as weird, and it seemed to flow behind him slightly even though there was no wind. His cold, calculating golden eyes were like two suns trying to burn Inuyasha, as if by simply glaring at him could smite him from existence. He wore a long-sleeved white shirt with black stripes on the end of his sleeves and a pair of white pants, with his tail slung over his shoulder like the fur some humans wore as scarves. The magenta stripes on his face gave a warning to everyone of the poison his claws held, making Kagome subconsciously take a small step back. He smirked at her as he saw this, making her shiver under his gaze. He then returned his glare to the hanyou before him as Inuyasha spat, "Sesshoumaru…"
A small intake of air alerted Kagome to look at Sango as realization lighted her face. She whispered in her ear, "That's Inuyasha's brother. Well, half-brother, really. He's completely youkai, and he likes to think of Inuyasha as beneath him and humans along with him."
Kagome nodded as the teacher was immediately standing beside them as she told them, "No fighting now, Taishou brothers. I don't want a mess in my classroom today."
Inuyasha just gave a 'keh' and crossed his arms angrily, earning a smirk from Sesshoumaru as he walked to his seat. Inuyasha grumbled something nasty as he sat down rather roughly, his hands slightly clenched into fists. Sango grabbed Kagome's arm and sat her in an empty desk beside her, which was (fortunately) two seats behind Inuyasha and (unfortunately) just to the right of his brother. She glanced uneasily at the youkai, immediately looking away as he stared at her coldly. She was a bit nervous around him, especially since he felt so powerful. She wondered how such a stubborn, slightly loud person like Inuyasha could possibly be related to him.
I just hope this class ends soon… She couldn't help but give Sango a frightened glance, only feeling a little better when her friend gave her an encouraging smile.

Kagome was better by the end of the day, since she had a few more classes with Sango, and as they were finally released from the confines of the building she was begging Inuyasha to see his band. "Can't I please come see them? I've never seen a band in person before!"
Inuyasha groaned reluctantly, grumbling, "That wouldn't be a good idea, since we train close to that bastard's workshop."
"Who's workshop?"
The hanyou sighed at Kagome's bubbling curiosity and answered, "My half-brother's. He's usually in there doing whatever the hell he does in there."
"You mean he isn't in your band as well?"
"Ha!" Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at the idea of Sesshoumaru in a band. "I don't think he's the type for that, or sharing the same breathing space with a hanyou and his friends. Besides," He smirked and put his hands behind his head, "why would I want him in my band, anyways?"
"Well, he's still your brother, isn't he?" Kagome frowned when she only gained a grunt in response, so she huffed and said, "Fine, but can I at least come and check it out?"
"…Eh, alright,fine. But don't say I didn't warn you –"
"Yeah!"
Inuyasha covered his ears in pain, as did Sango as Kagome cheered happily. After a moment, though, she looked at them and blinked in confusion, before realizing and bowing her head. "I'm sorry! I was just really excited."
"I'm sure you are…" Inuyasha grumbled as his hands left his ears, and he began to walk down the sidewalk. The spirited teen asked him, "Is this the way to your house, Inuyasha-san?"
He stopped and thought for a moment, before he answered, "Yeah…" He looked at the two girls watching him expectantly, and he said, "It's pretty far, though. I usually walk, but I don't know now with you two."
Sango brightened up immediately and said, "I have an idea! We can use my car." Kagome smiled at her and agreed, "That's perfect!"
Inuyasha, however, sighed and shook his head. "I don't think I should; I'm used to walking home anyways."
He went to turn away when Kagome grabbed his arm with a 'wait!' He looked at her in surprise as she pleaded, "Don't go, Inuyasha!" She looked at Sango with a silent earnest as her friend noticed she wanted help and said, "We have enough room, and it will take a lot less time than just walking!"
As the hanyou looked at Kagome with the begging look on her face, he thought about it for a moment, before he sighed and shrugged. "Why not?" He was caught unawares as Kagome smiled and hugged him, saying, "Great!" She quickly let go and followed Sango to her car as Inuyasha stood there in shock, wondering what she had just done.
Kagome turned and called back to him, "Come on, Inuyasha-san! Let's go!"
He snapped out of it and quickly got to the car. It was a red Mustang as it reflected the sunlight with a bright, clean shine. They all got in, Inuyasha last as he warily stepped into the vehicle. She got out of the parking space and was on the road quickly, with Kagome in the passenger seat with barely controlled excitement. I can't wait to see the band!
DLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDL
With Inuyasha's directions, they found themselves at the Taishou's household. It was a really nice house; it was three stories tall, with an average sized front yard and, from what they could see of it, a hugebackyard (maybe a couple acres worth). Plus, there were three smaller buildings somewhere in the backyard, which Kagome presumed were Sesshoumaru's workshop and the place where the band practiced, with the purpose of the third building a mystery. They got out of the car, and she heard the hanyou chuckle as she stared up at the house with awe. "It's so big…"
"Yeah, well, so is my dad." He had already explained that his father was rarely home and to not expect to see him any time soon. He walked off towards one of the buildings, telling them, "Follow me, and I'll show you where the band is." Kagome looked at Sango, glad to see that she was eager as well, and they both quickly followed him as he approached the door. He knocked on it three times, and someone from inside asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, lecher. Open up."
The girls gave each other nervous glances at the word 'lecher', but Inuyasha smirked as the door opened and he said, "You decided to start without me? What a shame."
"Actually, we've only just gotten here." A guy stood there with dark black hair up in a small ponytail of some sorts, wearing a dark blue tee and jeans with white sneakers. He smiled at the two ladies behind the hanyou and asked, "Who are these lovely ladies?"
"Leave them alone, pervert." He muttered under his breath so only he could hear before he introduced them. "This is Kagome," she nodded at him in greeting, "and here's Sango." Sango looked at him warily, her arms crossed with an eyebrow raised. He smiled at her and said, "My dear Sango, my name is Miroku." He bent down to kiss her hand, but then Inuyasha grabbed him by his hair and pulled him back, saying, "Don't try to marry her just yet, lecher." Sango's face was a bit red for a moment, but then she shook her head and glared at Miroku as he chuckled nervously.
"Alright, let them meet the rest of the band." Inuyasha pulled him farther from the girls as they stepped into the building. It was about the size of a basketball court, with a stage over in the far back. Two other people stood there, looking at the newcomers as they waited to start practicing. The first of them was some sort of a neko youkai with her tan-orange hair up in a short and spiky ponytail, wearing an emerald green shirt with a pair of light blue capris, watching them with guarded icy-blue eyes. Beside her, a slightly short boy (who, after a moment of Kagome staring, actually was a youkai) with short reddish-brown hair and a puffy light cream tail, his emerald orbs alight with curiosity. He wore a teal shirt with some famous brand name on it and a pair of hazel-colored pants. He was up to about four feet in height, two heads shorter than the other youkai. They both seemed inquisitive at the two new faces, and were answered by Inuyasha before they could even ask, "These two are friends from school. Kagome, Sango, meet Sakura and Shippou."
"Hi!" Kagome smiled and waved at them as the boy grinned back. "I'm Kagome."
"Nice to meet you; I'm Shippou, and this is Sakura-mama." He pointed up at her as she nodded, a smirk on her face. She asked them, "So they're the reason you never came to our lunch table?"
Inuyasha scratched the back of his neck nervously and started, "Well, I –"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Kagome apologized immediately. "I didn't know you were expecting him! I won't do it again."
Sakura laughed and waved away her apology as she said, "That's okay; it's better than hearing his grumbling and complaining." She smirked as he glared at her and gave her 'the finger'. She returned it with a snicker and turned back to the others. "So, are we going to start practicing, or are we going to goggle at the pretty ladies?" As the two girls turned their flushed faces away, Shippou agreed, "Yeah, let's get started!"
Inuyasha gladly picked up his guitar, which strangely looked like a sword, and said, "Alright! Let's do it!"
DLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDLDL
Kagome was glad she got to see them practice as she whispered to Sango about how awesome it was. She agreed, and they clapped vigorously when the last note ended. The inu hanyou smirked and said smugly, "I knew you two would like that! So predictable, girls…" He hissed an 'ouch!' when Sakura punched him in the shoulder, and as the other girls giggled at him he yelled, "What was that for, wench?"
"Just because youthink you know girls doesn't mean you do!" She crossed her arms and huffed, "We're a lot more complicated than you airheads, anyways."
"How am I an airhead? You're the one who always seems to be so stuck-up about how she looks!"
Sakura smirked and ran her fingers through her hair as she taunted him, "Well, it's notmy fault I was born beautiful! And don't you forget it!"
"Why would I care what you look like, anyways? You're just a –"
"I should have known it would be you making such a horrible racket."
Everyone immediately turned around to look at Sesshoumaru standing in the doorway, eyeing his brother coldly. He seemed rather irked that his business was interrupted with their 'practice', although he questioned if they ever really got anything done. They fought too much, to say the least.
"I don't need youto start chewing me out, Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha growled at him, immediately getting defensive. His brother, however, just replied coolly, "Aren't you getting along with your friends." He ignored the deep growl from the hanyou's throat as he continued, "And in the presence of two guests. Honestly, your behavior is nothing less of atrocious." He smirked as his brother gripped his guitar tighter, ready to fling him away effortlessly in case he tried to try to hit him.
"Umm, I don't mind."
Both brothers, as well as the rest of the band, looked at Kagome in surprise as she blushed with all of them staring at her. She smiled nervously at Inuyasha as she continued, "I don't mind it; I find it rather cute." Giggling at the blush that faintly tinted his face, she looked at Sesshoumaru and bowed her head slightly. "I'm sorry if we interrupted anything."
The youkai looked at her quietly, his shock hidden from the others while they wondered what he would say. He glanced at his brother as he stared at him silently, his desire for a fight softened only by his new friend's voice. Hmm… he looked back at the human who smiled at him warmly. If that isn't strange, I don't know what is.
"I'll let it slide once, but not again. Good-bye, hanyou." He closed the door, ignoring his brother's colorful curses that he mumbled under his breath. That girl… he glanced into the window as he saw Kagome staring at the door where he was a moment ago. What is it that makes her so cheerful?
Inside of the building, Sango looked at her friend in surprise. "Wow…" she mumbled thoughtfully. "I've never seen Inuyasha's brother so calm after a human speaking to him."
"Eh, he knows that if he messes with her, he's messing with me!" Inuyasha growled as he turned around and picked up his guitar again. He slightly strummed the strings, grinning at the sound it made, before looking at the girls. "Kagome?"
She looked up at him, the slight curiosity on her face showing as she responded, "Yes?"
"How would you like to come here after school to watch us practice?" He balanced his guitar on his shoulder and smirked, "You and Sango could be our audience, and Kagome's unnatural friendly smiles could be our Fluffy-repellant! What do you say?"
Kagome stood up and nodded, smiling at him sincerely. "Of course! I'd love to!" She looked at Sango and nodded as her friend agreed. "It'd be a great way to spend our homework-time!"
"Perfect!" Shippou jumped happily. "You could help me get my confidence going!"
"And you could also make suggestions for our songs." Miroku added casually as he gave one of his charming smiles to the ladies.
Sakura nodded and flipped her ponytail with a smirk. "You might even try to sing a few songs with us!"
"Really?" The two girls' eyes sparkled at the thought, and Inuyasha glared at Sakura for saying something like that. She knew he didn't want another girl in his band, since she was a handful as it was. What the hell was she –
"Thanks, Inuyasha-san!" Both girls quickly hugged him, catching him off guard as his eyes widened in shock. He nearly dropped his guitar, and was glad, and maybe a little disappointed, when they both let go and let him take a breath. The two giggled a little at his expression, before a ringing sound alerted Kagome as she quickly pulled out her cell phone. She answered it with a 'hello?' which quickly changed to a smile as she said, "Hi, Mom!"
Inuyasha glared at the neko youkai behind Kagome's back as the black-haired girl replied, "No, I'm not dead! I just came over to a friend's house! …Yes, he is rather nice; so is Sango and Shippou and – what do you mean 'it's a guy'? Geez, Mom, what were you…?"
"You'll thank me later." Sakura smirked and turned to tap her drumsticks lightly against the wall as the hanyou tried to ask what she meant by that, but was interrupted when Shippou elbowed him with a 'shh!' as Kagome finished her conversation. "Alright, Mom, I'll be there in fifteen minutes…love you too…bye."
"What was that for?" Inuyasha glared at the little runt as Kagome pocketed her cell phone. Shippou 'hmphed' and said, "You shouldn't talk when someone's on the phone! It's rude!"
"You don't tell me what to do, furball!" Inuyasha went to grab him by his tail, but Sakura immediately stood in front of him and spat, "Leave him alone, mutt!"
"Why should I, cat?"
"Because I said so! And I'm a cougar youkai, not a cat!"
Kagome bent and whispered to Miroku, "Why is she so protective of Shippou?"
He looked on as the two fought (again) and explained, "She's Shippou's adopted 'parent'. His real parents died a little while after he was born, and so she's the one taking care of him. And she's rather serious about it, too."
"I see…" She nodded thoughtfully as she watched the fight steadily get louder, but suddenly leapt up with an 'eep!' when she felt something touch her backside.
Slap!
Miroku rubbed the red handprint on his face as Kagome stomped away angrily. The nerve of him! She huffed as she grabbed Sango. "Let's go before it gets too dark." Her friend nodded as she glared at the lecher, who chuckled nervously as they exited the building. His attention was turned towards the angry tempers that grew, however, as they both raised up their instruments. "Stop it, you two! We don't need to go buy another drum set."
They glared at him, and then grumbled darkly as they turned away from each other. Miroku sighed and thought, they fight like a married couple. He laughed at the thought, earning confused glances from them, before he picked his bass guitar back up. "Let's do that other song, shall we? Then we'll call it a day."

Kagome sighed as she laid in her bed, staring at the ceiling in her pink pants and white pajama top. Again, she was having trouble sleeping as she thought of the days events. Getting new friends was the best thing, as well as seeing a band play right in front of her. She wondered, though, what Sesshoumaru did in his workshop that they seemed to distract him so badly he came to stop them himself. Was he always like this? She frowned, imagining his cold, yet handsome, face on the ceiling. That's hard to believe. What could have made him like that, I wonder?
She sighed and turned on her side, staring at the table with her computer on it, humming quietly as its screen showed the blossoms falling that were her screensaver. She had chatted with her friends as soon as she came home, telling them everything about her first day at her new school. One of them, Ayumi, had typed, 'If Sesshoumaru is such a hunk, why don't you go out with him?'
Kagome had paused after reading that, thinking about the question as her mind wandered to the class she had first seen him in. After a moment, Sango's words came back to her. "He's completely youkai, and he likes to think of Inuyasha as beneath him and humans along with him." She sighed and replied, 'He doesn't seem to like me, and besides, he's too sharp-tongued for my tastes. As for the hunk comment –' She paused typing for a moment, before grinning and continuing, 'I have to agree with you, he is hot!'
Commentaries
DL: Well, not too bad, eh? Especially for a first try, too! A bit short, but…yeah. This is the first Inuyasha story I've really considered on finishing. I'm so glad I started, cuz now I don't wanna stop! Let's see where this takes us, shall we?
Sesshoumaru: Oh, joy. Can't wait.
Inuyasha: Sesshou, being sarcastic? What is this world coming to?
DL: (ignoring them both) Also, all thanks to the author Striking Falcon, who gave me such inspiration to type something like this! Hopefully I can at least compare to her wonderful works, and I REALLY hope she doesn't mind we borrowing the idea of the band thing. I just needed something to get Inuyasha to invite her over, and let it begin…
Kagome: Let what begin?
DL: (laughs maniacally) You'll see!
Shadowpaw: I don't like how she said that…
Inuyasha: For once, I'll agree with the cat…
