AN: Here is the second revised chapter. I am sorry if it isn't as enjoyable without the lyrics to know where the song is.
Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. Nor do I own You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring.
Chapter 2: You're Gonna Go Far Kid
~KAGOME~
We got to the mall in less time than I thought was possible and headed inside.
"Okay! So, food!" Sango dragged me to the food court. I was surprised there were decent choices though. I chose the Pita while Sango had a burger and hot dog combo with a huge drink and the fries and onion rings.
"Are you eating for two or something?" I laughed and she did to. It was nice to e able to do so.
"No, but I wanna look amazing tomorrow, so the tighter it is tonight, the better it will be tomorrow." She took a bite of her burger.
"Huh, didn't think of it that way. You know Sango, you are smart." I took a bite of my pita.
"Try telling that to Miroku. All he sees are my tits and my ass." She seemed actually pissed at that. Thinking about earlier I decided I'd try to help her out.
"Well, then we will find something to accentuate them. Give him what he wants." I laughed and took another bite.
We kept the conversation light, mostly talking about her and her past. She'd grown up in a normal home. Mom and dad who were disappointed in her choice to become a musician. She also had a little brother, named Kohaku, who had been sent to a boarding school. She had a pet cat at her parents. She had wanted to bring it with her when she moved but her apartment didn't allow pets.
"What about you Kagome?" She asked as we got up. I had avoided the questions by changing it to her but now I had nothing left.
"Nothing much to tell. I'm 19, female." I saw that Sango wasn't going to accept that answer.
"I used to live on my own, rooming with Koga before he got into the band. Mom and dad didn't pay attention to me much." The last part was a lie but I wasn't going to tell her the truth. I avoided anything really specific.
"How did you meet Koga? He told us you guys were friends since childhood. I knew he used to be on the street for a little while, but he always spoke of his Kagome, his little sister." she smiled at me.
"That's funny, seeing as I'm 4 days older. Well, like he said we've known each other for a long time. We met when we were young and started being like brother and sister. He was cool and helped me out when he had money and now he asked me to join you guys..." I walked into the store and started looking at the clothing there. Koga was probably the only one who knew my full past. He'd seen me through it all, and he was the one who helped me.
She seemed to have decided to let the subject fall as we started picking things out. I hadn't picked out anything yet, unsure of just how my stuff was going to get paid.
"Get whatever you want, forget prices. Just pick it up and add it to the pile." She pointed to the pile by the cash.
"Um, okay. I thought we were shopping for supper?" She smiled at me.
"We are, but you are gonna want something to change into after tonight and possibly something else for tomorrow and the next few days too." She added more to the pile and went pack to searching. I decided on a corset, two band shirts, a skirt, pair of jeans and a pair of combat boots. That would be enough for a lifetime on the streets.
"Kagome, whats your size?" Sango moved over to the lingerie part of the store. I didn't know what size I was. I hadn't owned a bra actually. The one I was wearing was very old and felt too tight.
"Um...I don't know." I looked at her as she moved closer. She grabbed my breasts in her hands then let them go, her face getting an 'I'm thinking' look.
"Hmm... I'd say a 36 C." She started picking out bras in different colors and various styles. I watched her pick up everything of mine and take it to the pile.
"Okay, that's it for here." She handed the girl a credit card and went to sit.
"I have never done that."
"Done what?" She had a puzzled look on her face
"Just hand over a card like that." Then again I'd never had a credit card to hand over. Or money for that matter.
"It's easy once you get used to it." She got up when the girl came back to us.
"All to the normal address?" She gave me a look. The 'I don't like you' look. I gave her the 'Fuck off' lookShe glared at me. I didn't look away.
"Yeah, and if you don't like her you can go and quit, cause she'll be around often." The girl turned and made a call.
"You up for some more?" Sango got up and started for the door.
"Uh, sure?" I wasn't used to this at all...
-INUYASHA-
"Let me get this straight, you blew off Kikyo?" Miroku stared at me dumbfounded. It was the tenth time he said those words.
"Yes. I blew her off." I sighed. How many times did I have to say it for him to believe it?
"And you came here instead? To the storage lot, which is also my home. With drugs?" His voice was high pitched. I didn't understand what the big deal was.
"Does that mean you don't want to do any?" I looked at him and he cracked.
"What, are you high? Of course I wanna do some!" I cleared a place for us.
I placed a few lines and took a couple of them, needing more than him to feel anything. It had something to do with the demon blood that flowed through my veins. Even though I was only half demon, making me half human as well, I was more demon than human when it came to my body.
I let Miroku do a line and looked around.
"Hey, I got an idea..." I walked to the guitar and started strumming. After staring at me, getting a stupid look on his face, and getting an even goofier smile on it, he got his guitar.
"Wait." I did a few more lines and sat down.
"Play your ass off 'Roku." I started feeling the effects of the drugs as he started playing. I started with him, the words coming out of my mouth easily.
I felt the high intensify as we played. My mind stayed on the song, but also went to our new drummer. She looked so much like someone. That persons name lost to me just then though. I dropped my head slightly and started playing harder, faster.
I thought of my mother, and what happened at the cemetery. I didn't expect him to be there. She wasn't his mother after all. But he showed up. I wasn't sure if it was in respect to her, our father, or for me. But he was there. And he had spoken to me too.
*flashback*
"Inuyasha, you need to start thinking of your future! You might be a hanyou but you are still part human. You can't let the demon take over! Your mother would have wanted you to come and try it. It could save your life." I walked away without saying a word to him
*end flashback*
His voice showed he care but his eyes didn't. He only pretended to care to get me where he wanted me. I wasn't going to drop my life to do what he wanted me to do.
Kikyo may not have been the best looking or even the best in bed but she let me do what I wanted to her and that was all I needed. She only needed to be high and I could do whatever I wanted.
I wanted to rip Sesshomaru's head off. He left me alone just like Father had. Mother hadn't been able to live after Father's death. Hell it was because of him that my life was the way it was.
Kagome popped into my head but I pushed her out. I didn't want to think about her just then. The song was coming to an end.
I dropped the guitar and glared at it, as if it had ruined things for me and gotten rid of my buzz. I knew it wasn't but I had to direct my anger towards something.
"More." I got up and did a few more lines, closing my eyes as I got hit by the high.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku's voice sounded far away. I looked in his direction.
"It's almost time to go eat." He seemed as out of it as I was. I nodded and looked back at the guitar. The thing seemed to have changed shape or something. Or maybe that was the drugs taking more effect.
"Well, lets welcome Kagome to the group in style." I stood and walked to my room. I changed into an old band shirt that seemed to have been sown with magic. No matter what it never ripped.
"Hey 'Roku!" I called out, putting on my pants.
"What?" I heard a bang and figured that was him hitting the wall. He lost every sense when high.
"Sango wants to fuck you." I told him that every time he was high and he always had the same answer.
"I know man. But she's not ready for that yet. She needs to be courted right." He came into my room and fell onto the bed, grabbing a random shirt off the floor.
"Sure 'Roku. Sure..." I sighed and rubbed my eyes. The high was already leaving me, but I knew I'd need more later that night, so I didn't do anymore.
~KAGOME~
I brushed my hair for the 30th time. I hadn't been in new clothes in quite some time. It was strange, but in a good way. My green and black shirt and black jeans fit right, and the combat boots I wore fit perfectly with the rest.
"So why can't I wear the corset like I wanted again?" Sango had told me to wear something I could move well in. I didn't understand.
"Cause it's gonna be destroyed tonight. We don't exactly act normal." She had finished with her makeup and started checking random things in her bag and on her cell.
"You don't have a cell do you?" I shook my head. I never had the money for one. Money was spent on food when you were on the street.
"We can get you one before tonight, like that I can find you." She got up.
"Ready?" I stood up as well.
"As ready as I can be to go somewhere I don't know and not be told whats going to be happening."
AN: chapter 2 revised. Slight changes to the story so it makes more sense with my newer chapters and I cleaned up errors. Hope you enjoyed it. R&R please~
