Chapter 2

When Sango and Kagome finally finished it was a few minutes to opening. Miroku and Sango decided to go home and change before the whole gang got together around 9 later that night. Inuyasha said that he was going to stay and help Kagome get started with her night.

"So Kagome are you ready to sing tonight?"

"Yeah I guess but I like it better when our bands play together and I get to sing with you."

"I like that too."

"Umm well I guess I should go cuz I have to umm... go...umm" Kagome stuttered while blushing.

"Open the doors to let people in?" Inu finished for her.

"Yeah exactly." Kagome said.

Kagome got up from the bar and went to find Inu's uncle to tell him that she was opening the club now. After a few minutes she came back and went to go open the doors. The music started blaring through the many speakers around the room as the crowd filed in from the extremely long line waiting at the door. As soon as the mass of people started to die down Inuyasha saw Kagome come in and join Joe, the other bartender, behind the bar. That is how Kagome's first shift started.

As 9 came around Kagome finished her shift at the bar and the rest of the gang had arrived. Kagome went to change out of her bartending uniform and into something more comfortable to sing in. The gang soon found Inuyasha saving the ring of couches that was set up in-between the stage and the dance floor. They all got sat down with a drink in their hands just as the dj announced Kagome. The whole crowd went wild cheering for Kagome.

She slowly walked out on stage and sat on the stool that was behind the mic and in front of the band. When she sings she has a live band to back her up. The club has a request box at the bar for songs that they want Kagome to sing.

"Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing good tonight and are ready to hear some songs!" Kagome said into the mic.

The crowed cheered her on as she held up the request box and picked the first song she was going to sing.

"Well it looks like our first song of the night is... Here for the Party by Gretchen Wilson."

The band started playing and everyone started dancing.

Here for the Party

Well I'm an eight ball shooting double fisted drinking son of a gun
I wear My jeans a little tight
Just to watch the little boys come undone
I'm here for the beer and the ball busting band
Gonna get a little crazy just because I can

You know I'm here for the party
And I aint leavin till they throw me out
Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
You know I'm here, I'm here for the party

I may not be a ten but the boys say I clean up good
And if I gave em half a chance for some rowdy romance you know they would
I've been waiting all week just to have a good time
So bring on them cowboys and pick up lines

You know I'm here for the party
And I aint leavin till they throw me out
Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
You know I'm here, I'm here for the party

Band plays while Kagome gets up and dances.

Don't want no purple hooter shooter just some jack on the rocks
Don't mind me if I start that trashy talk

You know I'm here for the party
And I aint leavin till they throw me out
Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
I'm here, I'm here for the party

I, I

You know I'm here for the party
And I aint leavin till they throw me out
Gonna ha me a little fun gonna get me some
You know I'm here, I'm here for the party

I'm here for the party yeah

I'm here for the party

I'm here for the party yeah

The crowd cheered as the song ended but Kagome didn't get any words in as because the band had already started the next song of the night.

Things I'll Never Say

Verbal Acoustics

I'm tuggin' at my hair
I'm pullin' at my clothes
I'm tryin to keep my cool
I know it shows

I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head

'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

It won't do me any good it's just a waste of time
What use is it to you what's on my mind
If it ain't comin' out we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care

'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...

If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I want to blow you-away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could see what I wanna see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

(What is)What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away
(I stutter)I stutter (I stumble)I stumble like I've got nothing to say

'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...

Kagome finished and her eyes were still locked with Inuyasha amber ones. She picked another song and had a big grin on her face as she looked at the crowd.

"Well you all seem to know what I like to sing cuz these are some really good songs. But this next one I'm going to need some help with and I know just the person to help me." Grinned Kagome.

"Miroku could you please come up here and help me sing this next song?"

"It would be an honor Kags." replied Miroku.

The crowd cheered even louder as Miroku got on stage. Kagome whispered something in his ear that made him smile and then the band started to play.

Start of Something New

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new

As they ended the song Kagome looked to Inuyasha and she saw a scowl on his face and his was glaring at Miroku. She had to resist the urge to giggle on stage as she thanked Miroku and picked the next song. After about 20 songs Kagome finally picked the last song of the night.

"Well here is the last song, but I need some help again. So would Inuyasha please allow me the honor of singing with you?" said Kagome as her eyes lock with Inuyasha's.
