Quote of the Now:: The bartender who tends to pretend that he's concerned says,
"Girlie girlie, you're at your best when you're sober."
And she slurs "No no, just one more"
And one turns into four.
Two- Vodka Shots and Feuding Bands
Sango, Ayame, Rin, and Kagome had boarded the bus and found themselves suitable rooms. Next to board the bus was not the members of Demon Days, but a woman with midnight black hair tipped electric blue, bluestreaks hung in front of her face. She saw Alex and grinned. The two women embraced like old friends
"Hello Sakura. My name is Mischa Mai; this is my younger sister, Alexandra. She will be managing you four, and I will take control of the boys." She explained
Alex giggled foolishly. "Alex." Mischa warned. "Yes?" Alex hiccupped with wide innocent eyes. "What did you drink?" She demanded her eyes narrowed. "All the vodka in Russia!" Alex replied loudly. Mischa shook her head. "My sister has a habit of substance abuse." She explained. "Yeah-well- You're a bitch." Alex pointed out. Rin raised her eyebrows. "No she's right; it's killing me to be this nice. Alex, bed. Now, you four, names, ages, and something random about yourself. Red you first."
Ayame crossed her eyes at the nickname she had carried her whole life. "Ayame Sakajima, I'm 20, and hmm, random, I love too cook." She said with a shrug. "That'll do. You now." She said pointing to Kagome. "Kagome Higurashi, I'm 20 like Aya, and... uhm, I'm a miko, a priestess." Kagome offered. Growing up in a shrine, she had learned all a priestess would and did know. "Now you." Mischa said pointing to Rin. "I'm Rin Takaya, I'm 18, and I'm an orphan." She said quickly. "And that leaves you." Mischa said nodding towards Sango. "Sango Taijiya, 21, and I come from a line of demon slayers." She said revealing a tattoo on the under-side of her wrist.
"Now that's cool. Alright kiddies, I'm Mischa Mai, I'm 24, and despite my age I know what the hell I'm doing." She said proudly.
"And it looks like it's time for you to be properly introduced to Demon Days." She announced standing up and looking out the window as the bus slowed to a halt. The four boys stepped aboard and looked around the bus. "Stow your shit then we'll all get introduced." Mischa directed them. They quickly found rooms and Miroku was fast to latch onto Sango. "Such beauty has never graced my presence! Tell me fair maiden, what might your name be?" He asked clasping her hands between his. Sango stared for a moment and her eyes grew wide in realization. "You're the one who grabbed my ass outside the music store!" She exclaimed wrenching her hands away.
Mischa watched with interest. "My hand! It's cursed! Cursed I say!" Miroku exclaimed holding his wrist and shaking it. "Miroku that never works." A boy with his dark hair pulled into a ponytail said with a wicked smirk. "Introductions…" Mischa said tapping her foot. The girls repeated their own intros along with Mischa. "You, the pervert, you first." Mischa commanded. "I am Miroku Houshi, I'm 22, and I swear Lady Sango my hand is cursed!" Sango shot him a glare. "And I'm the tooth fairy." She murmured. Rin grinned. "You know I've been meaning to talk to you..." She let her voice trail off. "Rin!" Kagome exclaimed giggling.
"I'm Koga Ookami, 21, and my father runs Ookami Inc." He explained with a shrug. Ookami Inc. was a large multi-million dollar business. "Inu-Yasha Takahashi, 20, and I really want some ramen right now." Inuyasha said with a groan to his voice. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes before introducing himself. "Sesshomaru Takahashi, 23, and Inu-Yasha is my half brother." He said dully. Mischa stood up. "Alright I need to go check on Alex, make sure she didn't choke on her own vomit or something." Mischa said with a sadistic grin. "That's disgusting." Sesshomaru said looking, well, disgusted. "Point being?" Mischa asked meeting his gaze then continuing to her sisters' room.
An awkward silence fell over them. "This is fun." Sango said dryly. Rin looked over at Sango with pleading eyes. "Not yet!" Sango hissed. "Come on San-chan!" Kagome pleaded. Ayame blinked. "I feel very out of the loop." She announced. "Come on!" Rin said smacking Sango lightly. "Fine!" Sango exclaimed. "Ayame close your eyes." Sango said. Rin slipped a hand over Ayame's eyes
"What?! Why?!" She demanded trying to push Rin's hand off and failing. "What is going on?" Koga asked curiously. "Not your business is it?" Rin snapped. "Ouch, it bites." Inu-Yasha laughed. "Don't tempt me." Rin replied with a grin that was at the same time terrifying and innocent. A cough startled them all "Alright Aya, you can look." Sango announced. Rin withdrew her hand. Ayame's jaw dropped as she was left speechless.
There was Kagome, Sango, and Rin, holding out the telecaster, her telecaster. "Y-You guys?" Ayame sputtered. "Yup, it's from all of us." Kagome said with a grin. "But why?!" Ayame demanded. "Because we all knew how much you wanted it. We've had this planned since we heard about the contest." Sango told her friend. Rin pressed the guitar into Ayame's hands. "Yeah we promised if we won we'd all pitch in to buy it for you." Rin explained.
Ayame took the guitar as she pushed back her tears of joy. "Women." Inu-Yasha muttered. "Oh sit down and shut up." Kagome said folding her arms. Inu-Yasha suddenly slammed into the ground with such force the bus rattled. Both bands stared with wide eyes. "Now this could be interesting." Sesshomaru mused as Inu-Yasha struggled to his feet. "You girl." Sesshomaru said pointing towards Kagome. "Kagome! My name is Kagome! Ka- go- me." She said loudly. "Alright, Kagome. Say 'sit' again please." Sesshomaru said his eyes glinting mischievously. Inu-Yasha glared at his brother. "Don't tell her about that!" He shouted. "Tell me about what?" Kagome asked curiously. Koga grabbed Inu-Yasha and pushed him into a seat. Though he landed more so on Sango than the seat. "Watch it!" Sango exclaimed pushing him away.
Ayame listened intently while tuning her new telecaster
"A long time ago, when Inu-Yasha was still young, a priestess who was a friend of fathers visited our house. She said Inu-Yasha was wild and unruly and told father she had a way to help. See the necklace Inu-Yasha is wearing?" Sesshomaru asked. Everyone turned and looked. "She placed those beads around his neck and said she would choose one word to force Inu-Yasha into submission. Well right then our dog jumped on her lap and she shouted at him to 'sit'. Not only did the dog jump off but Inu-Yasha was sent into the ground. So if a priestess commands him to sit he must do so until a priestess removes his necklace." Sesshomaru nodded proud with his explanation.
Inu-Yasha fumed silently as he muttered to himself. "Keh, stupid priestess wench." He exclaimed. Kagome glared dangerously. "Sit boy!" She exclaimed sending him plummeting to the ground a second time. Mischa appeared looking shocked. "What the hell was that?!" She exclaimed furiously. "That was Inu-Yasha." Sango said with a smirk.
Inu-Yasha pulled him from the ground. "Stupid miko wench." He grumbled. "Are you trying to destroy my bus?!" Mischa shouted her eyes on fire. "I didn't do it on purpose! It was all her fault!" Inu-Yasha exclaimed pointing an accusing finger at Kagome. Kagome crossed her arms. "I can see he's still wild and unruly." She sniffed in annoyance. "Wench! I hate you!" Inu-Yasha shouted loudly.
It seemed as the bus froze for an instant before... "SIT BOY!" Kagome stormed off before Inu-Yasha could recover from his fall. Mischa's eyes went wide. "Now that's something you don't see everyday." She said a smiling threatening to cross her lips. "Alright, first person to break something on my bus looses a finger. Goodnight!" They all blinked at her retreating form. "She knows it's two in the afternoon right?" Rin asked curiously.
"I'm bored!" Kagome moaned. "Only one thing to do when you're bored." Sango said with a grin. "Jam session!" Rin exclaimed disappearing from the room to grab her guitar. All the girls in Sakura Days played guitar. Kagome too rushed to get her guitar. Sango's was already laying in Ayame's room. The other two appeared quickly. "Who starts?" Kagome asked. "Let Aya." Rin said.
It was a tradition with the girls. One would start a random tune, the others would add in a few chords and notes and they ended up with a new tune for a song. The words would even get added sometimes.
The continued for a good two hours before Sango finally called it to an end. "Great job, is anyone else hungry?" Sango asked. "Starving." Rin replied with a nod. "Ohhh McDonalds!!" Ayame exclaimed. Kagome giggled as Ayame ran out of the room and to the front of the bus to stop Myoga. "You have to stop at McDonalds!!" She exclaimed.
Myoga's eyes went wide. "Behind the yellow line!!!" He exclaimed nervously. "No! No! No! Take us to McDonalds!" Ayame insisted. "Fine! Just please get back Lady Ayame!" Myoga exclaimed his watery eyes wide with nervousness. Ayame nodded happily and took a large step backwards. She waited patiently as the bus reached the fast food joint and stopped. Mischa appeared with wide eyes. "What the hell is going on?" She demanded.
Kagome appeared behind her giggling. "Food stop!" She exclaimed. Mischa spun around glaring at Kagome. "We have food on the bus." She replied testily. "Not McDonalds food you don't!" Ayame replied. Mischa folded her arms. "We don't have time for this!" She exclaimed testily. "Aww come on Mischa, pleaseeeeee?" Kagome and Ayame begged at the same time. "Fine! Myoga! Take them to friggen McDonalds." Mischa exclaimed storming towards the back of the bus.
A crackling sound drew the whole busses attention, apparently the bus also had an intercom. "We're stopping at friggen McDonalds. Don't be long and don't get fat."
Sango laughed. "I like her." She announced.
The boys hadn't even botherd to get off the bus but the girls it seemed were reluctant to get back on. "There you ate, now back on the bus." Mischa announced. "Awww, Mischa, you're no fun!" Rin whined folding her arms. "Bus. Now." Mischa said through gritted teeth. A grin crossed over Rin's face. "Can't catch me!" She exclaimed as she took off running. "Ah! What! You little brat! I'm buying shock collars for all of you dammit!" Mischa shouted as she raced around McDonalds after Rin.
"This can't be good can it San-chan?" Ayame asked nervously as she watched Mischa and Rin knocking over tables and chairs. "Nope." Sango replied. As if by fate the store manager appeared. "You four! Out of here! Now! And don't come back!" The woman exclaimed furiously. Rin skidded to a halt and Mischa slammed into her. The two landed on the floor at the managers feet.
"Ahaha yes ma'am." Rin said unsurely. The four hurried out as Mischa muttered under her breath how much of a disgrace they were. They boarded the bus once more and Mischa quickly made her way back to her room. "Have fun?" Alex asked with a smile. "I.Hate.Them." Mischa growled as she grabbed the speaker to the intercom.
"You four are pathetic. That is no way for a celebrity to act. Honestly you're lucky they didn't recognize you! The reporters would have had a field day! Now I want you all in bed early you have your first photo shoot tomorrow. I'll warn you now Jakotsu is a little odd. Good Night."
"Photo shoot? That sounds fun!" Kagome exclaimed. Ayame nodded. "Yeah! Just like real celebrities." She added. Sango laughed. "You don't get it. We are celebrities now. I mean this is real, it's not just a local band anymore." Sango explained. Rin was quiet for a moment. "Someone get me paper and a pen. Quick!" She exclaimed.
Ayame slid Rin her notebook. "Why?" Kagome asked. Rin grabbed the pen and scribbled a sentance along the top of the page. "New song." She said with a grin. They all leaned in to get a better view. Sango read it aloud. " 'From Rags to Riches'. Now thats cool." She said with a grin. Rin set the notebook down and began scribbling away.
"Ahaa! That's so cool! Look at me I'm soooo famous! Teehee!"
The girls turned around slowly to find Inu-Yasha attempting to act feminine to mock them. "Was that supposed to be funny?" Sango asked dryly. "Well if you and your cherry pop girls had a sense of humor it would have been." Inu-Yasha replied with a smirk as he folded his arms across his chest. Kagome stood up from the bench and walked over to Inu-Yasha. The amber eyes boy tensed up and eyed her suspiciously.
Ayame's eyes went wide as Kagome put her arms around Inu-Yasha's neck and kissed his cheek. Kagome turned around then stopped. "Oh I almost forgot! Sit boy!" Kagome giggled and sat back down. Sango hugged Kagome. "I love you!" Sango exclaimed with a laugh. Inu-Yasha struggled to his feet swearing like a sailor. Koga appeared behind the amber eyed buy and laughed.
"Keh. Pathetic. Ya know flea bag if you had like half a brain you would have realized what she was doing." Koga said with a wink at Kagome.
Night had fallen and the girls had grown bored, very bored. "What can we do?" Rin moaned as she layed back on Sango's bed. "Oh! I know!" Ayame said brightly. Sango looked up from braiding Kagome's hair. "You know nothing." Sango replied. Kagome leaned forward giggling. "Don't move." Sango told Kagome as she yanked her hair. "Ow! You're sooo mean San-chan!" Kagome whined. "Now you sound like Aya." Sango said rolling her eyes.
"What was your idea Ayame?" Rin asked sitting up. "Let's play 'Never Have I Ever'." Ayame suggested. "Aya that's a grat idea!" Sango exclaimed. Ayame grinned. "Except we know friggen everything about each other, and we don't have anything to do shots of." Sango finished rolling her eyes. Ayame frowned and stuck out her tongue. "I have vodka." Rin chimed in. "And... we could always make Demon Days play." She said with a grin. Sango grinned, now that was a good idea.
The two bands crammed into Rin's room all holding little paper cups full of Vodka. "So how do we play this?" Koga asked eyeing Kagome. Ayame grinned and stood up. "It's super easy. We go aroud and say things we've never done. And if anyone here has done it they drink the shot. Sango go first they can pick it up after we go." Ayame said.
Sango nodded. "Alright. Never Have I Ever: Kissed two people in the same night." She said with a grin. "Hey that's not fair!" Ayame exclaimed. "Drink it down Red." Rin said poking Ayame's side. Ayame closed her eyes and drank the shot. So did Koga and Miroku. "See the fun part about this game, is if you play with people you know you can get them really drunk." Sango explained with a smirk.
Sesshomaru nodded. "Let me try. Never Have I Ever: Had a one-night stand." All the other boys and Ayame drank.
As everyone who drank poured themselves another shot Rin began talking. "Never Have I Ever: Kissed a girl." She said with a laugh. All four boys drank along with Sango and Ayame. Inu-Yasha stared at Sango. "That's wrong! You're twisted!" He exclaimed ponting at Sango. Sango rolled her eyes. "It was a dare from last summer. We were at a party playing Truth or Dare and someone made me and Aya kiss. Thank god we weren't sober." Sango said with a shiver.
Ayame laughed. "Remember Rin taped it on her phone to show us the next morning!" Ayame added. Kagome laughed. "We blackmailed you for a month with that tape, then damn Rin went and dropped her phone in the toilet." Kagome said shaking her head.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Mischa's impossibly loud voice rang through the bus waking the bands from the depths of their sleep. "Kodak moment?" Alex asked as she began snapping pictures of the sleeping bands.
Koga, Ayame, and Kagome were all tangled together in the bed, Rin was laying across Sesshomaru's chest, Sango was sitting up against the bed asleep, and Inu-Yasha and Miroku were both shirtless and facing each other only inches apart on the floor, Miroku's arm was draped over Inu's waist.
"Alex, if the news people ever see those I'll sue you." Mischa said as she rubbed her forehead. She could all ready feel a migrane coming.
Inu-Yasha was the first to open his eyes and he instantly wished he hadn't. With a look of horror he tried to pull away but Miroku pulled him back. "Mm not yet sweetie." Miroku muttered. Inu-Yasha glared at Miroku before slapping his arm. "Oww!" Miroku's eyes went wide as he sat up quickly rubbing his arm. "Good morning Inu-Yasha." He said with a smile.
"Miroku..." Inu-Yasha said slowly. Miroku cocked his head and looked at Inu-Yasha curiously. "Run!" Inu-Yasha exclaimed jumping to his feet. Miroku was already up and running for his own room.
Sango opened her eyes and looked around at her friends. "Glad I passed out here." She muttered as she stood up and brushed her hair away from her face.
Kagome opened her eyes and promptly fell out of bed in shock. "I feel really violated." Kagome said quietly as she stared at the bed. Sango put a hand on Kagome's shoulder and pointed to the lamp. "Hate to make you feel worse but isn't that you're bra?" Sango asked. Kagome covered her eyes and moaned.
Sesshomaru opened and eyes and attempted to sit up but couldn't. "Eh...um... help?" He asked unsurely. Rin's eyes fluttered open and she sat up. She looked over at Sesshomaru and smiled. "Good morning!" Sesshomaru sat up and looked at Rin oddly. "Uh, yeah, Good morning." He replied.
"I don't know what friggen happened here but all of you get dressed now! We'll be there in twenty minutes!" Mischa exclaimed before storming off back to her room. Alex looked around the room. "Yeah these pictures will come in handy." SHe said before quickly following after Mischa.
