Inuyasha

Once More With Feeling

Disclaimer/ Intro:

I DO NOT-own any of the characters in this story, they are exclusive property of the author of Inuyasha. Nor do I wish to…well kinda

This story takes place in regular Inuyasha times. A demon has come to feudal Japan and has put a spell over the land to make people suddenly burst into song as if it were so weird Broadway musical. This story is based on the Buffy the Vampire episode "Once More With Feeling" I hope all you Inuyasha fans out there enjoy this story if not feel free to curse me out into oblivion on the review.

Oh yes and, I'm too lazy to create songs of my own so I'm using lyrics from "Once More with Feeling from Buffy", and one JoJo song.

Chapter 1 Curtains up and ACTION!

There was a weird feeling in the air and Kagome could feel it. It was as if something wasn't very right. It didn't feel like danger, just like something was out of place. She sat up and looked out at the starry sky. Everyone else was asleep. Kagome stood up from her sleeping bag and walked past the sleeping lump that was Inuyasha she sighed, and suddenly felt a song coming on.

"You know the stories
You read the books
Boy meets girl
Then they fall forever in love
But I know better
So here goes a tale
Of the realest of the real
Listen

Now once upon a time, in a small world
It was everything that I dreamed of
He was my gem and I was his pearl
Nothing could come between us
A Prince Charming to call my own
Until the day that he broke my heart
And left me wonderin' all alone
Pickin' my mind and soul apart

Kagome leaned against a tree, a tear sliding down her cheek as she still sung, and her heart feeling lighter with every note.

Is a good story supposed to end
Unhappily ever after
Just as wonderful as it began
And carry on for a few chapters
But, how come each time I open up
I can't seem to get past page one
I guess it's time for me to close up
And go back on the shelf because I'm done

Kagome jumped onto a rock over looking a lake.

Used to believe in love
Used to believe in fairy tales
Since my heart's been crushed
I don't believe in much, I need help
Don't know which way to turn
Figure it out for myself
I've just started to learn
There's no such thing as fairy tales"

Kagome sank to her knees, thinking deeply and crying silently. She didn't know why she had suddenly done that. She didn't know why she just sung a song that had never been in her mind before. She needed to tell the others.

Inuyasha opened his eyes slowly. It was still night. He glanced over to the empty bed that Kagome was sleeping in, or at least she had been sleeping in it.

Inuyasha crawled out of his own bed and stood up sniffing the air for her scent. He found it, and it was smothered in sadness. Inuyasha started to walk, listening to the whispers of the forest.

"Every single night

The same arrangement

I go out and fight the fight.

Still I always feel the strange estrangement

Nothing here is real,

Nothing here is right.

I've been making shows of trading blows,

Just hoping no one knows

That I've been'

Going through the motions

Walking through the part.

Inuyasha didn't know what was happening to him. He was singing? He would never sing. NEVER!

Nothing seems to penetrate my heeeeart.

I was always brave and kind of righteous

Now I find I'm wavering.

Inuyasha stopped and drew tetsiga as he came to a group of demons with a women tied to a post, looking like they were making a sacrifice. One of the demons turned and growled meanly, running towards him.

Crawl out of your grave

You'll find this fight just

Doesn't mean a thing"

The demon stopped, he also started to sing.

Demon: "He ain't got the swing"

Inuyasha cut the demon in half.

"Thanks for noticing"

The other demons crowded around him.

Demons: "He does well with fiends from hell

But lately we can tell

That He's just going through the motions

Faking it somehow."

Inuyasha glared and one of the demons sang alone.

He's not even half the demon—

Inuyasha swung his sword. SLASH

OW!

Inuyasha sighed, cutting the very pretty village girl free.

"Will I stay this way forever?

Sleep walk through my life's endeavor.

The pretty villager girl hugs him.

"HOW CAN I REPAY—"

Inuyasha pushed her off him.

"—Whatever

I don't want to beeeeee

Going through the motions

Losing all my drive

I can't even see if this is really me.

And I just want to be

Aliiiiiiiiiiiiive"

Inuyasha stopped. He was now looking up at the moon.

"What the HELL was that!"
