Punk Love
Chapter 4: Sneak, Shop, Showtime
"Finished." Kagome said letting out a sigh of relief flopping back on her bed.
Her floor was covered in scraps of paper in multiple colors and 20 finished posters. Scissors, glue, tape, and markers were splattered around Bankoutsu's layed out body.
"Who knew making posters was so much work." Bankoutsu said as he began to push the supplies away from him.
"At least we finally finished it." Kagome said hopping off her bed. She picked up one of the finished posters. It had a black-striped-red backround with a picture of the band taken at the dance overlapping it. Above the picture 'Kick Ass' was posted in big white letters in crooked positions. Below the picture said, 'performing at GREENLIGHT at 10:30 in light green letters.
"So you want me to put them up at school tommorow since you're skipping?"
"No we'll sneak in and put them up during class sometime."
"If you say so. I was just trying to save you the trouble."
Kagome smirked. "I live for trouble."
"I know."
Kagome looked at Bankoutsu form lying with his eyes closed and slightly blushed as she remembered the short kiss they shared a couple of days ago. Quickly recovering from the blush she walked over and kicked him in his side.
"Get your lazy ass up and help me clean this mess up."
"Do I have to?" Bankoutsu whined like a 2 year old sticking out his bottom lip and gave her big innocent looking eyes.
Kagome rolled her eyes as she bent down and picked up an armful of trash. Looking back at him she gave him a threatening look. "Get. Up. Now." Sensing the annoyance and anger in her voice Bankoutsu sat up.
"No need to get all bitchy."
"Just shut up and clean."
After ten minutes of rushing around Kagome's room they finally finished cleaning and collasped on the floor. Looking over at her clock she realized it was almost 12:00 and walked Bankoutsu to the front door.
"What no good night kiss?" He asked sarcastically as he turned around and started head out the door until Kagome grabbed him by the shoulders, spun him around, and placed her lips on to his.
Bankoutsu stood still for a while in shock but slowly relaxed and kissed back placing his hands on her slim hips. Kagome laced her arms around his neck and drew him closer.
Finally pulling away for air Bankoustu looked at Kagome with confusion. "I thought you just wanted to be friends."
"I can't change my mind?"
"But..."
"If you don't want to be more than friends I comple-"
"I do! Just..."
"Good." Kagome said pushing him outside. "See you tommorow." She then gave him a quick peck on the lips and shut the door on her new bewildered boyfried.
Still confused Bankoutsu stared at the door. Finally shrugging it off he walked to his black jeep parked by the curb and drove off with a goofy smile on his face.
Inside Kagome leaned against the door with her fingers on her lips smiling to herself. 'I chose Inuyasha over that!?' Unable to contain her happiness Kagome began happy dancing around the house. Making it to her room she climbed on her bed and began jumping around. "I kissed Bank, I kissed Bank, I kis-"
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble, I'm a hell of a scandal
Me, I'm a scene, I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thi-
Kagome's ranting was stopped by her ringtone of Avril Lavigne's 'Best Damn Thing'. Finally finding her phone she answered.
"Hello?"
"Kags!"
Recognizing Sango's voice Kagome smiled. Only Sango would have the nerve to wake the queen of grumpiness at midnight.
"Hey Sango! Whats up?"
"Whoa you're actually awake and you sound...happy. Amazing!"
"Well I have a reason to be happy. I kissed Bank!" Kagome squeled going back into her excited jumping mode.
"You did what!? This is big let me call everyone before you give details."
Kagome waited a while for Sango to get Rin and Ayame on the phone.
"What the hell is so important that it can't wait til' tommorow?" demanded an angry half sleep Rin. "Dammit, Sango, I'm tired."
"Yeah why'd ya wake us up?" Ayame yawned.
"Kagome has big news for us. Go and tell them Kags."
"I kissed Bank."
"WHAT!" They both yelled in unison now fully awake.
"He was at my house working on the posters and I walked him to the door and kissed him."
"Congrats to Kagome!" Ayame cheered happily.
"Yeah. Not that I'm not happy with Sesshy's looks but Bankoutsu is HOT!" Rin said through her phone.
"Thanks for the compliments but we need rest. Making posters is more work than you would think. Besides we have a big day ahead of us."
"Oh, speaking of posters. Did you give them to Bank to hang up?"
"No we're gonna sneak in so dress appropriately as in no heeled boots."
"Okay." Sango said before clicking off.
"Bye." Rin and Ayame said drifting back into thier sleepy modes.
Kagome closed her phone and quickly changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. Bringing her fingers to her lips an instant smile spread across Kagome's lips and let sleep slowly claim her.

"Okay here's the plan," Kagome said from behind the bushes in front of the school beginning to explain the plan to Rin and Sango since Ayame still had yet to arrive. "Sango and I will take the top floor while you and Aya-"
Kagome's sentence was stopped by her laughter as she saw a firery red head dressed in an army outfit with a pair of black converse on her feet and black horrizontal lines on her cheeks.
"What the hell are you wearing?" asked a wide-eyed Rin in disbelief.
"I'm in camoflauge duh." Ayame said as if it was obvious. "Kags said to dress appropriately and I don't want to get caught of course."
"Idiot, thats camoflauge for outside we're going inside. You'll stand out in that not blend in."
"Oh. Guess I wasn't using my head." Ayame said giving a sheepish smile
"When do you ever?" Rin mumbled under her breath.
"I heard that." Ayame motioning to her pointed ears and glared at Rin.
"Whatever, No ones gonna be in the hall so it doesn't matter." Kagome said dropping the subject and moving back to the plan. "As i was saying Sango and I will take the top floor and Rin and Ayame will take the main floor. You each get 5 posters and put them in really eyepopping places."
"Got it." Ayame said saluting Kagome.
"Alright troops lets move out!" Kagome whisper-shouted as they crept into the halls of the silent highschool.
Going their seperate ways Kagome and Sango stealthily made their way up they stairs when Kagome heard the clicking of heals. Whipping her head around she glared at Sango. "I thought I said no heels."
"Thats not me." Sango motioned to her black forces.
Not wasting anymore time arguing kagome dragged Sango up the steps and they quickly ducked behind a corner. They heard the clicking of the heels getting closer and closer.
"Shit,shit,shit,shit." Sango cursed under her breath at the thought of being caught already. She was about to make a run for it when Kagome yandke her back once they saw a black haired slut in a tiny pink skirt and a tight low cut white shirt that exposed her stomach. Behind her trailed a Inuyasha in baggy jeans in a red tee.
The girls watched in horror as Kikyo pushed Inuyasha to the wall and pressed her body firmly against his. She began to kiss the hanyou furiously as his hand slowly made its way up her shirt. Felling as though she would up-chuck her breakfast if the couple carried on any longer Kagome stepped out from behind the corner.
"Why am I not surprised to see the school slut skipping class to make-out with an ass?"
Kagome smirked at the surprised faces the two were frozen in their position.
"Sorry to ruin you 'fun'" Sango said stepping to Kagome's side. "But watching you get to 2nd isn't deffinately not my life time goal."
Kikyou turned around and sent them both cold glares. "What the hell do you want?"
"We want you to get your flat ass out of the way so we can put up our posters." Kagome said returning Kikyo's icy tone."Now if you would be so kind, which I know is hard for you, to control your hormones until we get by. I would really appreciate it."
"Kagome." Inuyasha said finally seeming to find his voice. "We still need to talk."
"I thought I told you to fuck off yesterday. Maybe I can get my boyfriend to knock some since into that pea size brain of yours."
"B-b-boyfriend?"
"Yeah I got over you. You don't mean a damn th-" Kagome stopped when she heard more clicking of heels but Kikyo was still.
"Shit. Lets go, Sango." Kagome said rushing down the hall in the opposite directions of which the clicking noise was coming form.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Sango said as she hurried around a corner leaving a dumbstruck hanyou and a pissed off bitch to be caught by the secretary.

Inuyasha sat in class after just escaping being caught with his mind far from the lesson and revolving around Kagome and the encounter earlier.
'Boyfriend! I can't believe! When I find out who stole my Kago-. What the hell! My?' Inuyasha let out a frustrated sigh and shook his head furiously ridding himself of the previous thought in his head. He sat through the rest of the class trying to figure out Kagome's new boyfriend when the bell rang signaling the end of a boring class.
Inuyasha walked out of class only to be stopped at the door where a mob of students staring at the celing. He looked up to see what the comotion was about. He was met with a picture of 'Kick Ass' with Kagome bending over the stage with singing into the mike and seemed to be looking right at him. He looked down the hall and saw more mobs of students under differnt posters yapping excitedly.
"I can't believe they got a gig at greenlight!" Some random girl squeled
"We should get there at like 9:30 so we can party then catch the show." another girl spoke
"That Kagome girl is hot for a punk girl." some guy said
Inuyasha growled at the guys comment then looked back up at the poster and actually read when an idea came over him(rare.)

The girls sat in the food court in the mall after sneaking into the school and going back to Ayame's so she could change.
"So where did you guys hang you posters?" Rin asked taking a sip of her strawberry milkshake.
"We put them on the celings. You?"
"Cafeteria. Ayame sweet talked the janitor into letting us in."
"How'd you get them on the celings?" Ayame asked curiously
"I climbed on Sango's shoulders." Kagome said biting into a crispy frie.
"Hmm. Did y'all almost get caught?"
"We thought we did but it was just kinky and yash." Sango answered bored. "Can we please go shopping now?"
"Su-. Wait! I forgot to tell you guys I wrote a song." Rin pulled out some music sheets from her bag and handed them around the table. "Its probaly not that go-"
"This is AWESOME!" Kagome said cutting off Rin looking at the paper with starry eyes. "I think we should replace it with misery buisness. I mean we already performed that song anyways."
Ayame and Sango nodded happily as they looked over the music sheets.
"We should pract-"
"NO! No,no,no,no, NO!" Sango said interupting with a firm voice. "You promised we could shop today so no going back."
"Fine we'll shop for an hour and a half but then we HAVE to practice. Got it shopaholic?" Kagome said firmly looking at Sango.
Letting out a slightly defeated sigh Sango nodded. "But we have to start now." Sango said hopping out her seat and dashing down to the closest store. Relunctantly the rest of them followed chatting about the song.

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
Kagome bobbed her head to Katy Perry's Hot n' Cold as she grabbed her drinks and made her way back to the stage where the band was setting up.
"Its packed out there." Ayame said as she pulled her head back from behind the curtain and took the drink Kagome had handed to her.
"You're not nervous are you?" Rin asked playfully
"No! I just don't want to mess up in front of Kouga."
"I no what you mean." Kagome said taking a seat on the floor. "Bankoutsu got us the gig and I would hate to ruin all his work."
"Or dissapoint your hot new boyfriend." Sango said making a light blush cross Kagome's cheeks.
"Shut up!"
"Whatever. Now lets check your outfits." Sango said giving every one a once over.
They all wore black jean minis that were tattered at the end and a white t-shirt that had 'kick ass' in lettering of their own colors except Kagome's who's was in black lettering. Once again they're hair was streaked and in their own hairstyles. Ayame's hair was in high pigtails, Sango's was in a high ponytail, Rin let hers down with some in a high side ponytail and Kagome's hair was let to fall over her shoulder.
To accesorize Ayame wore black,red, and white bracletc that made thier way half way up her forearms and a black choker necklace and red knee-high socks and her black converse. Her make-up was dark eyeshaddow with black eyeliner and mascara.
Sango wore fingerless gloves with multiple rings and dark pink leggings and black heeled boots. She had on her usual eyeliner and mascara but complimented it with a dark pink eyeshaddow. She wore a skull choker around her neck and a long chain.
Rin opted to keep it subtle and only wore plack fingerless gloves with dark blue crosses on the back. She wore her black forces and usual make up with a bit of dark blue eyeshaddow.
Kagome wore her signature fishnet glove on her left hand and a normal fingerless black glove that had 'Kick Ass' writen in white lettering on her right hand. She wore lots of eyeliner and masacara and a black choker around her slim neck. She had on white knee legnth socks like Ayame with her black boots that ended just below her knees.
"Are you happy?" Kagome asked impatiently to Sango
"Yes and you all look great."
"Good because we are being introduced." Ayame said picking up her guitar and the others followed in suit getting in position.
"And now for our future number one band in the country... KICK ASS!!"
The curtain lifted revealing the band. Kagome spoke into the mike "Y'all ready to kick ass!?"
The crowd screamed loudly.
"I can't hear you!"
The crowd got louder. Kagome being satisfied turned around signaling for Rin to start them up for Thats What You Get.

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
Inuyasha walked into the club just as they had started to finish up the first verse. He made his way to get as close to the stage as possible so he could follow Kagome when she finished and put his plan in action.
His plan was to get Kagome alone to explain everything and some how get back together with her. He had broken up with Kikyo after school once he realized he couldn't get over Kagome and didn't care about his status anymore. He was determined to win back his girl and no boyfriend could stop him.

Kagome took a deep breath after finishing the first song. She looked out into the crowd and smiled when a certain guy looked up at her and winked . Her heart skipped a beat with happiness. Then she turned to Rin so she could start up the next song.
They were going to do the song Rin wrote next. They had practiced it a million times so it would be perfect for the performance tonight.
Rin tapped on the drums once and then Ayame took over on the bass guitar along with Sango playing lightly at first in the background. Rin then joined in and Sango played harder on the guitar and Kagome began to sing.
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
Kagome walked to the closer to the front of the stage and give an aggressive expression and shake her head wildly
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on
Walking over to the left side Kagome kept singing.
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on.
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
Kagome's expression softened and she crouched down low slowly shaking her head as if to be saying no.
It's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it,
Talk about it
Standing from her crouched position Kagome walked across the stage and stopped leaning over the stage to sing some of the chorus.
Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
Kagome stood back up again and walked around the stage again pumping her free hand in the air on certain parts.
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love,
but you don't know what love is.
Kagome shut her eyes and drew her hand down by her side to show some emotion.
So are you listening? Well I can't pretend that I don't see this.
So are you watching me?
Her eyes popped open and she slowly began walking around the stage until the beat got faster and she put a little hop in her step, pumping her arms, and stomping her feet at particular moments.
It's really not your fault Cause I've seen love die
That no one cares to talk about it,
Talk about it
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
Standing back in the middle of the stage Kagome began to sway a little along with the music.
These scars, they will not fade away.
Kagome began hopping a bit and bobbing her head with the solo
No one cares to talk about it, talk about it
Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
Kagome looked up happily at the crowd and when she spotted Bankoutsu and the rest of the band's boyfriends her smile got wider. Seeing the crowd going wild made her heart soar until she saw a pair of silver doggie ears in the crowd and her heart instantly dropped.
'He just had to come?'
