Burst into Song

Chapter 1: Just an 'Ordinary Day'



Hey! I, the author, would like to thank you for looking at my fic. It's

probably no good, but please read and review!

Summary: A spell has been cast onto the members of the Inu-tachi,

making them express their true feelings through song. Secrets will be

revealed and status' of friendships will change...(Kag/Inu and San/Mir

pairings)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own InuYasha (Kagome does), or any other characters

from the original story. Kitsune is my own character, so I do own her, but I

also don't own any of the songs mentioned in this chapter. Basically, I

own nothing except the clothes on my back, and my little imaginary

person...how sad...

Key:

"Wassup, my homies?!" are spoken words

'Damn, she's fine!' are thoughts

[Miroku is such a bishie!!!] are my little stupid comments

ON WITH THE STORY...

The group had settled down for the night and not a sound was to be

heard as the soft caresses of sleep took everyone into it's depths. But this

was an unnatural sleep. Kitsune (the kitsune demon) sighed greatly, for

she really didn't want to interfere in their personal affairs, but it was

necessary, they weren't going anywhere on their own! She was talking, of

course, of the groups lack of courage in telling each other how they really

felt. She had just finished spreading an even coating of sleeping powder

onto the travelers so that even the hanyou was fast asleep. She started to

chant, "As the bonds of time loosen, we learn to express ourselves. Song

will come to thine lips to finally show how ye feel, especially toward the

ones with more than a little importance in thine eyes." She had a beautiful

voice, and the wind seemed to whisper in the trees as if begging for her to

keep singing. She nodded, as if acknowledging her tasks competition. 'I

did a good thing tonight, maybe now things can progress and move

forward with them now.' She had been keeping an eye on the little

collection of misfits ever since she discovered her beloved Shippou was

with them. Kitsune, you see, was Shippou's mother, but she couldn't care

for him due to the threat she had received from a member of the wolf

demon tribe; she had to leave their happy little family so they wouldn't be

killed along with her. She was to be exterminated for a crime she had

committed against the tribe, the vixen used her powers to kill a wolf

demon. He had been threatening her, but she was blamed anyway, so she

had to flee for her life with her mate and kit. Soon, she decided it would

be safer for them if she left, so without a good-bye, she left one night.

She was still running from the tribe, and hopefully they wouldn't find her

this time, but still, she stayed well away from Shippou, lest he see her

and try to come after her; it was better for him this way. Plus, these

people had taken such good care of him, so she knew he was safe and

protected. She walked away and disappeared into the forest, proud of

what she had accomplished.

On the warm and sunny summer morning, in the middle of nowhere

[they always seem to be in the middle of nowhere to me! ;) ], InuYasha

opened one eye to survey his surroundings. He saw that everyone else

was already up and getting ready for the walk ahead. Wait a second,

everyone else up before InuYasha?! 'That's not like me, I usually don't

sleep in! Ah well, better hurry and get ready, we have to find the shards!'

[Isn't it just like him to have a one track mind? The shards seem like all

he ever thinks about! Ehem, except for the love triangle he's in, I guess he

thinks about that too...] He jumped down from the tree he was sleeping in

and landed at Kagome's feet. She jumped a bit in surprise, as she was

looking over at Sango at the time, but visibly relaxed when she saw it was

just him. "I'm hungry, make me ramen!!!" [lol, InuYasha and his ramen!]

He demanded that she make him his favorite snack.

"ARG! InuYasha, you do know how to make it yourself, you know!

Help yourself! I shouldn't have to serve you!" Kagome argued, stamping

her food for good measure with an angry glare on her face. 'Honestly! He

insults me all the time and then has the nerve to demand I make him

ramen! He's over-protective, argumentative, violent, overbearing, sweet,

kind, caring...WAIT! What am I thinking? I was supposed to be listing BAD

things! Good work, brain!' [can't you just TASTE the sarcasm?] Yeah, she

had it bad for said over-protective, violent, half dog demon. 'Too bad he

prefers resurrected-walking-clay-pots to living women!' [sorry, I hate

Kikyou, so she may die in this fic. Just a warning Kikyou-lovers!]

Sango looked over at the pair who were arguing about weather or not

Kagome (a.k.a. "the bitch" according to InuYasha) should cook for him

("when you are perfectly able to do it yourself!" as stated by Kagome). The

antics were to be expected by now, as skirmishes happened often. She

turned her attention to "her" Houshi. She liked calling him that in her

mind, even though she had "no chance" with him. [little does she

know...heh heh...] Ah, she loved him, despite his hentai actions. 'I wish he

would look at me like I look at him, but he just sits there meditating just

like every other ordinary day.' He was looking straght up, admiring the

patterns the clouds worked against the blue sky. All of a sudden, she

started to feel all tingly, and she couldn't control her voice anymore. She

poured all of her feelings of pain due to her "unrequited love" into a song

she'd never even heard before.

"Just a day, just an ordinary day,

Just trying to get by.

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy,

But he was looking to the sky.

And as he asked if I would come along,

I started to realize,

That everyday he finds just what he's looking for,

Like a shooting star, he shines,

He said 'Take my hand, live while you can,

Don't you feel your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand?'

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words,

Though they did not feel, for I felt what I had not felt before,

And you'd swear those word could heal, and,

As I looked up into those eyes, his vision borrows mine,

And I know he's no stranger, for I feel I've held him for all of time,

And he said 'Take my hand, live while you can,

Don't you feel your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand?'

Please come with me,

See what I see,

Touch the stars for time will not flee,

Time will not flee, can't you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream,

As I waken back,

And that boy, that ordinary boy,

Wasn't all in my head.

Did he ask if I would come along?

It all seemed so real.

But as I looked to the door, I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

And he said 'Take my hand, live while you can,

Don't you feel your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand?

In the palm of your hand'

Just a day, just an ordinary day,

Just trying to get by.

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy,

But he was looking to the sky..."

Through out the song she moved passionately while singing from her

very heart. She looked ta Miroku the whole time, and this time he was

looking back. So was everyone else, with shock written clearly all over

their faces. [well, she did just burst into sond all of a sudden!] "S-Sango?"

Kagome tentatively ventured, "WOW."

Miroku just sat in shock, staring at the pleading look in her eyes that

portrayed an 'almost' unasked question. 'Was she singing about me? For

me? ...I think so... Does she love me? I don't know. Do I love her? Oh

kami, I do, don't I?!' Silently shaking himself free of his stupor, his face

returning to the calm expression he almost always wore. Slowly, he walked

to Sango smiled slightly, took her hand and lead her into the forest so

they could talk in private.

TO BE CONTINUED...

AHAHA! I'm so evil. Cliff-hanger, so I guess you'll just have to wait until I

update again! PLEASE REVIEW! Many more chapters coming soon!
