A/N Hey people, it's me. Yup, this is chapter four. For you Sesshy fans reading my story I'm sorry to say he won't make his appearance for a few chapters yet but he'll be there eventually. For people you are wanting some Inuyasha/Kagome romance that will come within the next few chapters and there may be some fluff in the next one. Speaking of Dog Boy, just to clarify Inuyasha does lacrosse, and soccer so far. Koga does track and soccer and Miroku does lacrosse and they all play b-ball. IDK if that's really allowed in high school 'cause I'm not quite there yet but WTF I don't care! So with out further adieu I give you...

Chapter 4: The Band!
The rest of the day moved by swiftly and it was now the final hour of school and one that Kagome dreaded more than any other. MATH CLASS! Kagome had never been very good at the subject, always just barely keeping her grades high enough to say in all honors classes. Luckily she had Inuyasha's help, he being pretty good at the subject. In this class Kagome sat at the back with Inuyasha at her right. The others weren't in this class with them and Kagome wasn't really friends with anyone other than him in that class but there was always Hojo, a pretty boy that had always had the hots for her.
The teacher up front was talking about something she didn't understand so Kagome traded in listening to the insane babble and wrote a note to her favorite half-demon. She ripped a piece of paper out of her book and quickly wrote something, tossing it on his desk when finished.
(Kagome, Inuyasha)
Hey, we're hanging out at the studio tonight, right?
Yeah, why?
Wanna hangout there late, rent some movies and order a pizza?
Our b-day tradision? Sure.
Yay! You buy 'cause I'm the b-day girl! (-:
Fine.
And with that they gave each other a quick nod and went back to their schoolwork.

School was long over and the group of five was at the studio that Inuyasha's father had so generously rented them after getting sick of the loudness of them practicing in the garage. The studio was really a well-decorated loft that Mr. Takahashi had paid to have a recording studio built in. The recording/practicing area was in sound proofed so the others in the building didn't go mad from the practicing teens' "music". They sometimes doubled the place as a crash pad when need be. The group was that area now prepping everything for practice. (A/N If you don't like my music choices and have suggestions I'd be glad to consider them) "Okay guys, what we practicing first, my songs or Kags'?" Inuyasha asked, adjusting his guitar strings as he did so.
"I don't care, what do you think Miroku?" Sango replied from her place by the keyboard. At hearing his name Miroku look up at his girlfriend,
"Well, Inuyasha could use some practice with his singing considering the inconsistence of his voice," he mocked while he, too, got his instrument of choice ready.
"I hear that, Dog Breath totally needs more practice than Kagome does," Koga add from his stop by the drums.
"At least I don't sound like a choking old parrot like some people," Inuyasha argued, digging for his music in the some cabinet at the corner of the room.
"Inuyasha, if it makes you feel better we can start with one of my songs, okay?" Kagome cooed trying to sway the half-demon's mood before it got too bad. Her efforts were rewarded with a "feh" from the disgruntled amber-eyed teen. At the response she turned to the others and said, "Now you guys, you can't be so harsh. The puppy is sensitive!" At this everyone but the boy in question burst into a fit of laughter.
Though Inuyasha hated being made fun of he couldn't help the small smile that spread over his face at the sound of Kagome's laughter, it was such an innocent, joyous sound and he let out a tiny chuckle of his own. 'I'll get he back for that later' he thought, walking up to the mic, setting down his guitar as he did so, saying, "That's okay, Kagome, I'll go first."
Kagome turned to him then, wiping tears of mirth from her eyes, "No Inuyasha, I've got a new song anyway, I wanted us to try it out before we get into anything else."
"Oh really, what would that be," he inquired.
"You'll see," she replied in a teasing tone and turned to Koga and Sango, "Sango, you let Koga take over the Keyboard and get your violin." Giving her questioning looks, they did as she said while Kagome gave out the music.
Everyone when to there places, each giving the other strange looks save Kagome she went up to the mic, waiting for her friends to begin and so began the song; (A/N this song is originally Avril Lavigne sung)
Get Over It by Kagome (an Avril Lavigne original)
Slipping down a slide
I did enjoy the ride
Don't know what to decide
You lied to me
You looked me in the eye
It took me by surprise
Now are you gratified
You cried to me
La, la, la, la, la
Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of you face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it
When I was feeling down
You'd start to hang around
And then I found your hands all over me
And that was out of bounds
You filthy rotten hound
It's badder than it sounds, believe me
La, la, la, la, la
Hey, you gotta get over it
Hey, you gotta get over it
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it
Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of you face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
You'll have to get over it
And the song came to a close with the final instrumental. Kagome release to mic she'd been holding to her mouth and turned to her band member to she our thoughtful faces. She had a nervous smile on her face and while she wait she went into the recording room and hit 'play' o hear how the song sounded. A moment later her song came through the speaker and she closed her eyes listening intently. After the song ended she squealed in delight and turned sharply to go back to her friend to find the right behind her. Sango was the first to speak, "Kagome, that was great, sure the instrumentals are a pain but it sounds great!"
"Thanks, I've been working on it all week, I didn't think it would sound this good though!" she replied, her voice clearly satisfied with her work.
"Yeah, yeah it was fantastic but Inuyasha doesn't sound haft as good as you do so it's time to work on that," Koga butted in, earning a thump of the head from said teenage demon.
"Okay!" the girls chirped, dashing back to the sound booth, Kagome taking Inuyasha's place at guitar, leaving the mic open and ready for him.
"All right, I say we start with 'The Diary of Jane'," Miroku said, returning to his base.
"Inu?" Kagome question. Inuyasha went to the mic and nodded. At hearing this Sango went out, into the recording room because she wasn't need for this song. And so, they began yet again; (A/N and yet again not my song, its Breaking Benjamin's)
The Diary Of Jane by Inuyasha (originally by Breaking Benjamin)
If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?
And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?
No
Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be
Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?
Do you like that?
There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that
Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be
Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become
Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
They continued their practicing for about an hour and a half or so, Kagome and Inuyasha switching off at lead singer. The got in about fourteen song until Koga's cell phone began howling, his ring-tone being the song of a howling wolf. He answered with a 'hey' and spoke to the person on the other line for about two or three minutes before hanging up. "Guys," Koga said, getting the group's attention, "that was Ayame, she asked me to go over because she's got a baby-sit her little cousin again tonight and she doesn't wanna get too bored so…" he trailed off, setting down his drumsticks, then standing up, "Yeah, it is getting kind of late. Kagome, I'm callin' it quits for today, okay?"
"Sure Koga, it's not like I'm your mom, go be with your girlfriend," she smiled, "She hates having to baby-sit Shippo alone so go keep her company. My voice is kind of tired out anyway so we can finish up early."
"Thanks Kags, you rock!" Koga called as he grabbed his bag and ran out into the main area of the loft and out the main door.
"Well, Dearest Sango, we should be going too, it's already 6:17 and your father will be wondering where you are," Miroku said, setting down his base.
"Yeah," Sango agreed sleepily, " I wanna head home and take a nap, Kohaku is have Sota over to spend the night and with those to hyperactive monkeys down the hall I won't be getting much sleep tonight." She moved to get her things and move towards the door. "Happy Birthday, Kagome, bye Inuyasha! See you both at Kagome's party tomorrow!"
"Later, Sango!"
"Bye, Miroku!" Kagome called after the couple. Then she turned to Inuyasha, "SLEEPOVER TIME!"
A/N So there you go, that's our chappy for today. I'm sorry it took so long to get to post this for you guys but I've had medical problems that needed resolving and tons of end of the year schoolwork. In fact while I was writing this I should have been writing an essay for English, go figure. Oh WHO CARES! Anyhoo I'll try to update more often, until next time R&R.
