Rock My Heart Out
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of these songs.
Summary: Inuyasha is the lead guitarist, and lead vocals of a rock band called Double AA Batteries. He's got the passion, the right look, great lyrics, but one thing that he lacks is the girl. Not just any girl, but the girl. But one thing that he doesn't realize is that the perfect girl is standing right in front of him without him even knowing. And with the problems in the band going on, time just never seems to be on his side. And when he starts to realize that he has feelings for her as well, it might too late...
Chapter One:
Just Friends
Flashback
There; lying under a Cherry Blossom tree, was a young girl about the age of 6; hugging her toy bear as she relaxed with the breeze. She had chocolate brown eyes, with extremely LONG raven hair "Today is a nice day, Mr. Bear," she said to her teddy bear. "What's that? You want a Sakura petal? Ok, Mr. Bear! I'll get it for you." she stated. The young girl placed her teddy bear on the grass, and began to climb up the tree. "I'm almost there," but when she finally got to the top of the tree, she heard voices. "Look at that dirty teddy bear over there!" one kid said. "It's so old. Hey! Let's throw it around." another kid said. The kids approached the teddy bear. "Hey! That's my teddy bear!" exclaimed the long raven haired young girl. The kids laughed. "Well, if it isn't little Kagome. The new girl who just moved here from Okinawa. How ya like it so far in Tokyo?" sneered the tallest kid of the bunch. He looked about 8. He had long black hair that was tied in a pony tail. "Shut up, Kouga!" Kagome exclaimed. He smirked. He grabbed the teddy bear. "So, this old piece of junk is yours? Ha-ha, I'll do you a favor and throw it out for you, how about that?"
Kagome hesitated, "S-Stop it! My brother gave that to me! Gimme it back!" she demanded; with her eyes starting to water. "Ha, your brother? He's probably dead by now." another kid sneered. "N-NO!" Kagome protested. "He's at war, fighting for the country!" "More like finding a death wish to me. But, alright, if you want your precious teddy bear, then come and get it." Kouga grinned. Kagome gulped. She knew how to climb a tree, but she didn't exactly know how to get back down by herself. "Come on, Kagome. Ya scared?" he continued to toy with her. "No!" she protested once more. She placed one foot on a branch, and slowly made her way down. But someone threw a rock at her; which made her slip and fall. It was a pretty nasty fall. Kagome looked at her palms. "B-Blood!" she screamed. The other kids laughed. Kouga ripped the bear's arm out. "Here ya go." he said, and then gave it back to her, well, threw it back to her. Kagome was red with rage, embarrassment, and pain. She scratched him with her sharp nails. "AH!" Kouga screeched. He slapped her across the face. Kagome closed her eyes tightly; praying that these kids would leave her alone. "You stupid little wench! You'll pay for that!" as he raised his hand in the air; getting ready to slap her once more, he suddenly felt his body fly back. "Who-" before he could finish, he felt a foot choke his neck. "You worthless coward!" said the boy who tackled him.
"How could you do that to a little girl!" he choked him harder. Kagome scanned the kid from head to toe. He was unique. He had long silver hair with amber eyes. Not to mention cute little puppy dog ears. He was probably the same age as Kouga. "W-Who the hell are you?" Kouga asked, still having a hard time to breathe. "Inuyasha, and remember that name!" he finallly removed his foot from his throat. Kouga grasped for air. "Now get out you pathetic cowards! Pick on someone your own size!" and with that, they all scattered like flies. He took 5 minutes to catch his breath. He turned to Kagome. "You alright?" he asked. Kagome nodded. "Well, if those kids ever pick on you again, then come to me alright? I'll kick their asses for you." he smiled sincerely. Kagome laughed and nodded. "Hai!" Inuyasha pinched her cheeks. "You're too adorable. So what's your name kid?" he asked. "Kagome, Kagome Higurashi." she answered. "Well, my name is Inuyasha Taisho. I live on 6041, Sacred ave. Whenever you need me because someone is picking on you, or just to hang out, then you can find me at that address, OK? I have to go, but it's nice meeting you, Kagome. Bye." and with that, he went his separate way. Kagome could only stare. She turned red, 'He's cute.' she giggled and grabbed her teddy bear. "Aw, Mr. Bear. Look at what they did. I guess I gotta tell mom to sew you back up." she said to herself. She smiled and walked home. '6041, Sacred ave...' she repeated continuously inside her head.
End of Flashback
Kagome smiled as she looked at Inuyasha practice with his band. 10 years passed, and their friendship grew stronger every time. Inuyasha kept his word, and was always there when she needed him. In the past 10 years, everything changed ever since she met Inuyasha. Kagome has changed as well. She grew taller (obviously), her hair grew longer; about all the way to her knees, but that wasn't all that changed. Kagome's whole entire body change of course. She had the right curves, nice full lips, cute little dimples, and surprisingly, not once have she broke out with zits, pimples, or anything. Inuyasha has helped her out with so much. Helped her find pride, courage, and a really good friend. And in those 10 years, not once has she not loved Inuyasha. She's always loved him, ever since that day they met; she couldn't stop thinking of him. Inuyasha turned his way to Kagome, he smirked. She smiled. And that was how it was. She took a deep breath. 'If only he felt the same way' she thought.
"When all you gotta keep it strong, move along; move along, like I know ya do. And even when your hope is gone, move along, move along, just to make it through, move along..."
And with that last line, the song ended...
Kagome clapped. "So, what do you think 'Gome? Good?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome put two thumbs up. "Not good, but awesome!" she smiled. "Yea, yea, I know I am." Miroku said. Kagome smiled. "Yes, yes, Miroku. You're awesome too." Miroku took a bow. "Your drumming has really advanced over the years. I'm impressed. Same thing with you Hiten." she turned to Hiten. "You're an awesome guitarist. I know you've only joined the band for only a month, but you really sound pro." she complimented. Hiten didn't answer, or made any emotions or movements for that matter. He was sort of the shy, quiet, and mysterious guy in the band, and girls loved that about him. Inuyasha cleared his throat. "Yea, but not better than me." Inuyasha smirked. "Oh, feeling cocky much." Kagome smirked. "Damn straight." he said as he played a guitar solo. "Hey, look at that hottie right there!" Miroku said. "And that one! Can't forget that chick over there. Hotties everywhere!" he drooled. "Yea, they're alright. But nothing special." Inuyasha said dully. Miroku gasped. "Dude, you've been single for 3 years! Pick one already! You're making men look bad." he said. Inuyasha shook his head slowly. "You have to find the girl. Not just any girl, but the perfect girl. Love takes time my dear friend." he said. Miroku's face turned sour. Kagome could only sigh and hold her tears in. 'Yea, love takes time... but when will it be my time...' Miroku turned to look at Kagome. He was Inuyasha's best friend ever since... well, forever. And if it's one thing that he knows for certain, is that Kagome loves him. He could see through it. He could only sigh. He whispered to Kagome, "Don't worry, remember what we've talked about last night. I'll try to hook you guys up." he winked. Kagome nodded slowly with her pathetic lustful look. "Oh yea, don't worry. You don't look that pathetic." he joked. Kagome smiled and punched him playfully.
Flashback
"I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
Again..."
Everyone clapped at the performance.
"Thank you! Don't forget to buy our CD's when we get famous! WHOOO! Double AA Batteries baby! Don't forget our name!" Inuyasha burst in joy as he got through with another successful show. The band bowed and left the stage. Already there were screaming fans. "Oh, Inuyasha! May I get your autograph!" a crazed fan girl yelled. "Me too!" yelled another. "Sign here!" and soon, a lot more of those came. And one even yelled out, "Can you sign my boobs?" Inuyasha laughed at all his fan girls. "Ladies, one at a time." he chuckled.
Kagome could only grimace and watch. "You like him, don't ya?" Miroku asked in more of a statement than a question. Kagome's cheeks turned a rosy red. "M-Me! And Inuyasha! N-No way!" she stuttered. Miroku could only laugh humorously. "It's so obvious Kagome. Come on, I've known you for almost as long as I've known Inuyasha. If it's one thing I know, it's that you have a little thing for him." Miroku said. "N-No I don't!" she protested. Miroku looked her right in the eye. "Ok, then. Look into my eyes, and tell me that you don't like him more than a friend." he stated firmly. Kagome sighed and turn away. "Is it that obvious?" he asked as she sat down. Miroku smiled and patted her back. "To other people, no. But to me, a definite yes." he sat down besides her. "But, he doesn't even notice me Miroku. Not even once." Kagome could feel her eyes beginning to water as she thought about it. Miroku took a deep breath. "Inuyasha has always loved you, but sometimes he's unfaithful to himself. Sometimes, it's hard to a man to see what's right in front of him. I know that Inuyasha loves you. Otherwise, you guys wouldn't be this close right now." he tried to explain. "Yea, but it doesn't seem that way..." she said lustfully as she stared at Inuyasha.
"Kagome. Has Inuyasha, has he ONCE, checked out another girl?" Miroku asked sternly. "N-No..." Kagome answered hesitantly. "So there's hope Kagome. You and Inuyasha are like this!" Miroku said as he expanded his arm length. Kagome laughed. "Yea, I guess you're right. I do have hope. I mean, what's the odds of him picking a girl that he's just met in replace of a girl he's known for a long time." she turned to Miroku, tears streaming down her eyes. "Miroku, even though you're a pervert, a weirdo, a-" "Eh, can we get to the point here..." he interrupted, with a sweat drop, anime style. Kagome laughed and hugged him. "Even though you may act all weird or perverted or whatever, you're an awesome friend! And I love you to death like a brother!" and that was when tears burst out. "Yea, me too, 'Gome. Me too." he replied as he hugged her back. "And someday, you'll find a girl who likes you for you, and who can deal with you're perverted-ness." she said. Miroku put her in a head lock. "Say daddy!" he joked. "No!" she laughed. And they ended up having a girl talk and laugh about things. But they weren't aware of a shadowed figure hidden behind the equipment; listening to every word from word. "Kagome..." the mysterious man whispered.
End of Flashback
Miroku went up to Inuyasha and whispered, "Well, do you ever consider the perfect girl is standing right in front of you" Inuyasha had a puzzled look on his face. "You! Aw nah, hell nah! Never!" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku punched him. "No, you idiot!" he hissed. Inuyasha laughed. "...Kagome."
There were an awkward silence.
Inuyasha couldn't help but burst out in laughter. "Kagome and I? A perfect match? No way! We're just friends!" Miroku slapped his forehead and turned to Kagome. She kept a straight face, but inside, she was dying of embarrassment, and drowning in her tears.
"Just friends!"
"Just friends!"
"Just friends!"
... those words, repeated nonstop in her head. Those 2 words stated everything. "Just... friends." she whispered softly to herself.
