Chapter 7: Love Songs
The next day, while Kagome is getting ready for school, her cell rings with Three Days Grace's The Good Life. She answers, "Hello?" She asks. "Hey, want a ride to school?" Kagome recognizes the voice. It was Inuyasha's. "I'd love to." Kagome happily answers his request. "Okay, I'll pick you up in 15 minutes. Be sure you're ready by the time I get there." He said. Kagome quickly gets dress in a pair of blue jeans and a nice green tie-dye tank top. She then brushes her hair to make sure it's nice and long. She grabs her school belongings and head to the door. She comes out of the door and waits on the porch. A red Chevy Pickup comes to view as it pulls into Kagome's driveway. Kagome runs to it and hopped in. "I see you're looking well." She said to him. Inuyasha smiles to her, "Same to you too." He replies. "By the way that song yesterday was great." He compliments her. She blushes hearing that, "Thanks." Inuyasha comes to the school parking lot. "We should wait here until my friends come." He said. Kagome back, "I was going to say the same thing." He then looks to see an iPod in Kagome's hand. "Looks like you have an iPod there." Kagome was fiddling around with it. "Yeah, what do you have to listen to?" Inuyasha opens up his center counsel showing her an iPod touch. "This is mine. I got this just a month ago." He said as he browses through his music. "May I take a look?" She asks. A purple BMW comes in. "Oh that must be Miroku." Inuyasha said looking out to see him, and a girl coming out as well from the passenger side. Kagome sees that's her friend Sango. "Hey there's Sango." She said as she comes out of Inuyasha's truck. Sango closes Miroku's car and gives give Kagome a hug. "How are you?" She asks. Kagome smile fades. Sango looks at her carefully, "What's wrong?" Kagome shakes her head, "It's nothing." She replies as she is about to get into the building. Inuyasha runs after her. "You don't seem fine to me. What's wrong?" Kagome looks at him, "I was really hoping to play some of our music today, but I don't know it'll happen." She answers. Inuyasha puts his hand onto her shoulder, "Don't worry about it. We can always pull it off." Kagome nods as they enter the building.
They enter homeroom seeing that Koga have already got there, "Looks like Inuyasha has got himself a girlfriend." Koga mocks him. Inuyasha glares, "You know better not to make fun of me." Koga rolls his eyes. 'Oh well. I need to get Ayame now. But how?' He sees Miroku siting by Sango, and Inuyasha has Kagome on his lap. He finds Ayame coming into the room. Ayame looks at Koga and blushes as she looks away. Koga grins at for how her reaction was to him. Sesshomaru comes in shortly after. He sees his brother with Kagome on his lap. "Look my lovesick puppy." He teases to him. Inuyasha growls at him. "Well, she's mine. You know there's that Rin girl. You can go chase after her." Inuyasha said back to him. Sesshomaru shows a slight blush on his face, "Ooh, looks like my big brother has a crush on her." Inuyasha chuckles. Kagome looks at him as well, "I thought it's be hard for him to fall in love." Inuyasha pulls her into him arms, "Hardly, this is literally a first for him to do so."
Rin comes in last. She sees Kagome in Inuyasha's lap, Sango laying on Miroku's lap, and Ayame talking with Koga. Rin shyly walks up to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru sees from the corner from his eye as Rin approaches him. She stops in front of him, "Hi there." She said nicely. Sesshomaru looks up to her, "Hello." He replies with a small smile. "I find you quite attractive." He adds. It was Rin's turn to blush from his comment of her. "Thanks. You look really handsome." She said with a shy smile and a blush. Inuyasha looks at them, and smirks. "Looks like Sesshomaru got himself a girlfriend." Kagome turns to see, "And it seems that Rin got herself a man." She whispers. The rest of homeroom, everyone begin to get along well.
It was time for music class. The teacher comes in. "Alright class, you may find it ridiculous to believe, but you have to play a love song." He said as he finds out that the girls are with each of the boys. Kagome sighs, "I wonder what love song he wants us to play?" Inuyasha grins, "I know just the one." He said as he and his friends get into his side of the room, as well as the girls did the same. "So which one should we play?" Miroku asks. Inuyasha smiles as he pulls out a music sheet out of his backpack. He passes it to them. Koga smirks, "I love how you think." Sesshomaru nods. "Well let's get started. Meanwhile Kagome and her friends are thinking quite hard. "I can't come up with anything. What about you?" Sango asks. Kagome gets into her side bag, and pulls a music sheet out. Her look over her shoulder to see which one they'd play. Ayame smiles. "Perfect Kagome. You never seize to amaze me with your ideas. Let's go." Rin said.
The teachers find out that Inuyasha's band getting ready for their practice. "Looks like Inuyasha's ready. Which song are you practicing?" He asks. Inuyasha puts his guitar over his shoulder. "We're playing Savage Garden's Truly, Madly, Deeply." He strums the strings as they begin.
I'll be your dream A new beginning
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on you
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
I want to stand with you a mountain And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky, The highest powers I want to stand with you a mountain Oh can you see it baby? I'll be your dream I want to stand with you a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
You don't have to close your eyes
'cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Kagome heavenly sighs at Inuyasha. Who would ever thought that he'd be such a great singer? Not only her, But Sango kept on staring Miroku, for how he played his guitar. Ayame thought that Koga was the best one there is on the drums. Rin was like under a spell. She couldn't help but to see Sesshomaru with the keyboard. He's such a talented keyboard player. "Alright, girls you're up." The teacher snaps them out of their daydreams. Kagome gets her microphone. "We're playing Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck without you." Inuyasha stops in his tracks. Sesshomaru knows that look on Inuyasha's face, "I know. Kikyo played that for you." Inuyasha growls back, "I don't even want to here it." He said as he takes a seat and stares at Kagome with a glare. Kagome begins to see him with an angry look, and feels scared. Sango begins the beginning. Kagome gulps as she begins
[Verse 1:]
Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again[Chorus:]
Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you[Verse 2:]
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out
I'm nothing without you[Chorus:]
Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you[Bridge:]
Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh Yeah[Chorus:]
Because we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
Yeah you got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
When the song ended, Kagome bolts out of the room with tears off her face. Inuyasha couldn't believe he'd do something like that to her. He knew Kikyo played that for him before he realized that she just toyed with him. Sango knew that look. "Inuyasha..." She said to him. "She saw that look before, and there's no way to cheer her up from that. She'd be in that way for a week." She said as she looks at the exit of the room. He sighs "Do you knows where she'd go?" Sango shakes her head, "None of us know where she'd go. It's a problem for us to find out where she could possibly go. She won't even text or call back if we try to find out." She explains. Inuyasha feels guilty for giving that kind of look on his face towards Kagome, "Maybe I could find her." He said as he gets his stuff. Ayame runs up to him, "Even for me, I can't find her scent anywhere." She said. "But pleaseā¦find her before he finds her first." Inuyasha is confused, "What do you mean him?" Ayame looks down as Koga wraps her, "She told me the story that she eavesdrop Naraku's conversation with his band trying to make her more miserable than she was when he dumped her after the 8th grade. His girlfriend with him is Kikyo Miko." Inuyasha eyes glow red for a brief second. Sesshomaru shakes him out of it. "Inuyasha, if I were you, I'd go after her to prevent that bastard to hurt her." He said sternly. Inuyasha nods as he gets his stuff and goes find her.
