Hey guys. Heres the second chapter, I hope you like it. Your reviews first chapter, were great by the way.

Singer (Kagome)

The wind picks up as I sweep the Shrine grounds. The leaves I just had in a neat circle are now floating all around me. I grin. I love autumn, its like a whirlwind of all the pretty colors are surrounding me.

After I get done sweeping, I have to clean the floors of the well house. Then I have to sweep the steps. Then theres homework...

I sigh. I want to live in a house, a shrine is too much work.

I take my broom and head to the main house.

I enter the house and take off my sandals. I gotta stop wearing this miko outfit. I run upstairs and I pull out an outfit when I get to my room. I quickly change.

Just as I'm done changing, the phone rings. I sprint into the hallway and snatch it off its cradle.

"Yeah?"

"Kagome-chan! How are you?"

I blink. Sango is calling me? I haven't even talked to Sango since school started.

"Um, good, just cleaning up the shrine," I reply.

"Cool. Hey, in school tomorrow, could we talk?"

What could she want to talk to me about? Geometry? "Um, is it about geometry?"

She laughs, "No. I just need to talk to you, okay? So come see me at lunch."

I nod, and then feel like an idiot, because I remember we're no the phone. "Yeah, sure."

"Thanks! See you then."

I hang up. That was really weird. Theres almost nothing she could want to talk to me about, I mean, I know that she's in a band, but other than that I don't know anything about her anymore because we stopped talking last year.

I shrug. Its probably nothing. I head downstairs to the kitchen. I grab a pocky box out of one of the cupboards. I sigh. I need a life.

I sit down. Other seniors are going to the mall, and going on dates. I spend my week cleaning. Just like I have been for the past seventeen years or so.

I run a hand through my brown hair. I hear three knocks on the door and I get up to open the door.

Its Hojo. Here to ask me out. Again. I sigh, and force my almost believable smile on my face.

"Hey Hojo... it's you...again."

He beams at me and holds up two concert tickets. "I have tickets to go see this band I just heard of-"

"Sorry, Hojo. I have to babysit Souta, another time?" I ask, still fake smiling as he nods and smiles and I close the door.

I sigh. Like Souta can't babysit himself. I am busy though, everything needs to be cleaned.

I start with mopping the floors. Then I have to go dust the artifacts in the storage closet.

When I'm done, I pull my bandanna off my head. I walk back into the main house and Mom is serving dinner.

She looks up, and smiles at me. "Dinner's ready, make sure you study afterward."

I hold back a sigh. Its always studying. Always cleaning.

Souta shifts his gaze to me. "Sorry."

He's sorry that he doesn't have to clean too. Because he's the youngest and a guy, Grandpa doesn't think he should have to clean. Women's work apparently. How sexist.

"I need you to do the grocery shopping on Thursday. Oh, and the3 vet needs his check for Buyo, you know the furniture needs cleaning too, right?"

I run a hand through my hair again. I don't really feel like eating anymore. I push my seat back and stand up.

"I'm going to bed."

A A A A A

I scribble down the last bits of the equation as Myoga starts to talk about something else. As to why they have the history teacher doubling as the math teacher, I'll never know.

"That, class is why pie, both literal and mathematical are very important."

I chuckle as I see everyone else's head on the desk. I wish I could afford to take a nap like that. If theres even the slightest drop in my grades though, I'm done.

The bell rings and I shove my books into my bag. I walk out into the hallway. I move through the crowd pretty good and I just narrowly miss getting hit.

I make it to my locker and stuff my things in. I cough/gasp as I'm roughly pressed against the cold metal of the locker.

I whip my head around and Sango is standing there, smiling.

"Hey! Remember I said I needed to talk to you?"

I nod. "No need to push me."

She laughs, "I know, but it was fun. Lets go to lunch,"

I sigh, and follow her down the hall and to the lunchroom. We sit down at a mostly empty table.

"I need a favor,"

"What is it?"

She smiles again and I'm getting just a little scared. "Well, its more of a favor to me and yourself. You still sing, right?"

I take a bite out of my rice ball from my bento box. I only sing sometimes nowadays. I stopped leading the choir in freshmen year.

"Not really," I answer.

She makes an mm noise , and takes one of my rice balls. "Well, you should start. I want you to be in my band."

I stop chewing. "What?"

She grins and puts the rice ball down. "Well, its not just my band, you know me, Inuyasha, and Kouga's band. You know Kouga, dont' you?"

I laugh, its impossible not to know Kouga. He's been claiming his love for me since freshman year. I normally don't go a day without getting forced hugs from him.

"Yeah, I know him."

She nods, "So, me and Inuyasha decided we need a second singer. Me and Kouga are tone deaf and Inuyasha would sound much better singing with one more person. What do you say?"

A band. I don't even sing that much and I just barely know a few strands on a guitar.

As if reading my mind Sango says, "You don't have to learn any instruments or anything. Unless you want to."

Time. I have so many chores and all of my classes, how am I gonna balance band stuff on top of that? Then theres the question about whether or not Mom would even let me.

"I-I don't think I have time Sango-chan, I have so much stuff to do-"

"Like clean the shrine? Study? All of that is voluntary. Do something fun. For you. All of us, really. Besides, I think this band is going to go somewhere studying will never take you."

"My mom-"

"Is going to have to deal. You're seventeen, start living for you again."

Sango digs into her bag and pulls out a folded piece of paper. She reaches over and sticks it in my backpack.

"Thats Inuyasha's number and address, it would be a good idea once cleaning and studying isn't as fun as it used to be."

I've only spoken to Inuyasha once in my life. I bumped into him one time in the hallways, I was so embarrassed and couldn't stop apologizing.

Sango smiles at me. "I gotta go, bells gonna ring in a few minutes. Think about it, though."

Just as she gets up, the bell rings. I stuff my bento box in the trash and shuffle into the hallway.

I'm only in the hallway for a few seconds before Kouga shows up to drape an arm around me.

"Kagome! Date me!"

I laugh as we walk through the hallway, and to my locker. "I don't think thats gonna happen,"

"Why not?"

"I'm so busy, and I don't think I'd be that good of a girlfriend to you-"

"Nonsense! You're perfect for me."

But you're not exactly perfect for me. It's not like I'm gonna ever have the guts to tell him that though.

We hear a whistle an we both turn out heads in the direction of Sango and Inuyasha.

Sango's waving. "Come on, Kouga! We're gonna be late for practice! You come too, Kagome!"

I watch Inuyasha smirk, and yell, "Yeah, hurry up, or I'm kicking you out!"

"I'm the best part of this band!" Kouga retorts. He takes his arm from around my shoulders and grabs my arm instead, pulling me towards his group.

Sango grins when we're near the exit. "Come watch us practice!"

Inuyasha snorts, "No fans allowed, Sango."

I'm not a fan, I've actually heard their music before/

"she's not a fan, she might be our new singer."

Inuyasha gives me a once over and then leads the way out. Whats his problem?

Once we're outside, we all pile up into Inuyasha's Jeep.

I cleaned most of the shrine yesterday so I should be all set to leave for a few hours.

We drive until we pull up to a nice looking house in a pretty decent neighborhood.

We all climb out and walk into what I assume to be Inuyasha's house.

Theres a nice looking kitchen we walk into and this, beautiful, royal looking woman smiles at us.

"Hi mom." Inuyasha says, already opening the door to what looks like a basement.

Sango grins at Inuyasha's mom. "Hey! Look, this is going to be our new singer!"

My cheeks warm and I smile, "I haven't agreed to anything yet."

Inuyasha's mom nods and makes a mm noise. "Whats your name?"

"Kagome, the most beautiful woman on Earth!"

Sango sighs at Kouga's outburst, "We'll be downstairs."

I follow Sango and Kouga downstairs into the basement. It looks like a stage down here except for the couches and the mini fridge.

Theres two amps and two guitars down here, then theres a huge drum set.

I move to sit down on a couch. Its red. Whats up with this guy and the color red?

Sango turns to me and she puts on a beige colored guitar. "Watch us and see if we wow you."

Inuyasha snorts from next to her. He strings his black guitar and starts a tune before he stops, and turns to Sango. "I'm set."

She turns and looks at Kouga, who nods, then flashes me a smile.

Inuyasha flips his long hair out of his way and his claws start to pluck at the strings, creating a soft noise.

Sango joins in, adding more basis to it, Inuyasha plucks the guitar strings a little harder now, and its this louder sound of notes going throughout the room.

My eyelids rise and my eyes widen as Inuyasha sings, "I'm out of breath after running five thousand miles, with no limits of adrenaline, I'm at time's full power,"

The beat of the guitars gets better, louder, he sings,

" Hold your left and right hands above your head pierce through the darkness, GO!"

Kouga's drums join in as Inuyasha's voice gets louder, he's finishing up when he repeats, "Hold your left and right hands above your head, and pierce through the darkness, GO!"

The guitars have another intense set of notes, before everything fades with Inuyasha plucking the last string softly, like when he started. Sango helps fade the rest of the song out with he guitar.

Kouga looks up from his drums and grins at me,

"What do you think?"

I can feel the corner of my mouth pull up as I say, "Whats the name of this band?"

I recommend listening to Shissou towards the end of this chapter, its the unofficial theme song for this fic so far, please review! By the way, big disclaimer on that song, I do not own it. Look out for the next exciting chapter of I Don't Do Love Songs entitled: Audition.

With that said, Sayonara!
