APOLOGY
So soz dis chapter took sooo long to plan and I spent a whole weekend on it to make it long long. Den I got an ingrown toenail so I had to have an operation on my foot, den I had something wrong with my leg so they had to operate on that, I couldn't walk so I had no access to my laptop for a long time. Now I have writers block. I want to do the whole scheme in this chapter.Also I was thinking when this story is done, I'll do a Harry potter fic.
"Ding dong"
A tall man opened the door to find a man in a navy suit with a briefcase standing there.
"May I help you sir?" asked the owner of the house.
"Yes I am Mr Windpipe. I believe you called about purchasing the café down the road that is for sale?" the man with the briefcase said dully.
"Ahh yes do come in!" said the owner of the house. As Mr Windpipe entered the home, Mr Higurashi grinned inwardly.
As he did this, a chill ran down Kagome's spine as she sat up on the bed.
"Ugh" she gestured aloud as her body shook. "That was weird."
"What was weird Kags?" Sango asked as she looked up from Kagome's feet. Kagome and Sango were having a ladies night at Sango's away from the nosy monk and Hanyou. Kagome was sitting on Sango's bed as Sango did her toenails. She painted them purple and added little pink diamonds onto them.
"Oh you know when you get those chills down the spine, no biggy." Kagome stated.
"You know Kagome, that means someone's thinking about you, some one who's name starts with Inu and ends in Yasha." Sango grinned. Sango was the kind of person who knew everything that goes on in her friend's love life.
Kagome shook her head violently. "Sango whatever you are thinking about me and Inuyasha, get it out of your head, we are just friends." Kagome pointed out, though she knew it was a lie and that it wasn't Inuyasha thinking about her.
"Oh come on Kagome, me and Miroku have seen the way you two look at each other and act around each other. And when you were singing together you were practically in gaga land! You so like him Kagome, I know you do." Sango said knowingly as she finished Kagome's toes and moved up the bed to sit next to Kagome.
"Okay Sango, so I have some feelings for him, well I guess I like him, but I truly am not too sure of my feelings for him, anyway he doesn't return them, its obvious. But seriously what's not to like, I mean his cute little doggy ears," Kagome giggled. "His shiny silver hair, and his eyes, oh those golden pools!" Kagome had a picture of Inuyasha in her mind.
Sango sat shocked; Kagome had just blurted her deepest feelings for Inuyasha to her. "She must really like him!" Sango thought.
"Shall I leave you and imaginary Inuyasha alone?" Sango joked. Only to get a light punch on the arm from Kagome. Both girls giggled.
"So anyway" Kagome started, "Sango and Miroku, cute! You so like Miroku, don't lie to me Sango, I speak the total truth."
Sango went crimson. "Who pervert? Dream on Kags. He keeps touching me, it's disgusting!" she screamed.
"But you like it." Kagome grinned; she had got Sango back bad.
"I-I-I-I-I don't exactly want to like him. I mean sure when he's not a pervert he can be a pretty okay guy but he can only be like that for a small amount of time."
"So your saying if he stopped being a pervert, you might give him a go?" Kagome asked, forming a plan in her head.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt. Kagome don't go getting any ideas bitch!" Sango giggled.
"Oh and Kagome, Inuyasha does like you. I mean I haven't seen him this happy since Kikyo."
Kagome asked, "Who's Kikyo?" This reminded Sango, Kagome didn't know who Kikyo was.
"Kikyo was Inuyasha's ex, she was a slut, everybody tried to tell Inuyasha that she was cheating on him with all kind of blokes but he wouldn't listen. Well then he found out the hard way. He found her having sex with some guy she didn't even know. She then broke up with Inuyasha. He was broken, he really did like her. She was obviously in it for the money." Sango informed Kagome. "You know now that I think about it, you do kind of look like her, the resemblance is shocking. Only she was a little taller and wore about two different amounts of makeup in one. Coughslutcough" Sango giggle, so did Kagome.
Inside Kagome felt terrible, looking like Kikyo must remind Inuyasha of her. How could someone want to break Inuyasha's heart, he was a sweetie? Kagome pushed Kikyo aside and enjoyed the rest of her night with Sango, giggling, girly chats, movies and lots of CHOCOLATE!!!
Meanwhile, Miroku and Inuyasha were having a guy's night at the Takahashi residence.
The TV screen was flashing before the two boys eyes.
"Oh Jonathon, why did you leave me alone?" the actress cried from the screen.
"Because we cannot be together, though before I leave for good, I would like just to…kiss…you…. One more…. time." Jonathon said as his face moved in towards the female actress. As they kissed Miroku cried.
"NO MARIA, WHY? HE'S EVIL!" He shouted as he raced towards the TV screen and shook it.
Miroku had a secret. He loved soap operas. Inuyasha was the only one he trusted to tell.
"Miroku, leave the TV alone and concentrate on the real deal." Inuyasha informed, dragging Miroku from the screen.
"Oh right, now I looked on the web and it says there's this old café that's being reopened by some James Ihsarugih, strange name, anyway he's doing this thing to bring publicity to his new café. The thing that he's doing is a battle of the bands competition. You interested?"
"We'll have to ask the girls about that now won't we Miroku?"
"Girls? So you mean Kags is defiantly in the band then?" Miroku asked.
"Well duh! She is a great singer, I mean her voice. It's like…wow!" Inuyasha told Miroku. "And it could be a major upgrade for the band." Inuyasha covered up.
Miroku smirked.
"Wow. You must really like her. Anyway I'll call Sango and see what the girls think."
Miroku got his mobile phone out and dialled Sango's number. He put the phone to his ear.
"Hello? Oh hi Kagome it's Miroku, I just wanted to tell you that Inuyasha thinks your hot…oops did I just say that Inuyasha thinks your hot? Sorry Inuyasha. Anyway there's this battle of the…" Inuyasha snatched the phone from Miroku.
"Kagome listen, Miroku's being a lying cock. Don't listen to his lies…. hello? Is anyone there? Miroku you lying bastard! You never even called her!" Inuyasha shouted, raged. He punched Miroku in the stomach and picked up Miroku's phone that he threw across the room. He dialled Sango's number and pressed call.
Sango felt her phone vibrating in her jeans pocket. She got it out and answered it.
"Yellow?" she said as she put the phone to her ear.
"What the fuck is yellow?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome mouthed to Sango "who is it?".
Sango mouthed "Inuyasha" back.
Kagome could hear shouting on the other side of the line so she wasn't surprised when Sango said Inuyasha.
"Sup Yash?……….battle of the bands eh?………..hold on. Hey kags you up for a little band competition?" Sango looked pleadingly at Kagome. Kagome felt like a great load had been put onto her shoulders.
"I-I can't. I would screw it up for you. Do it without me." Kagome whispered to Sango, she didn't want Inuyasha hearing.
"Kagome says she can!……cool see you tomorrow then…bye!" Sango hung up and looked at Kagome with a big grin on her face. Kagome's face however, was the complete opposite. It was a large frown with scrunched eyebrows.
"Sango I said no. why did you say I said yes?" she asked.
"Because what I heard was a yes, now Inuyasha and Miroku think yes."
"But I said no when you said yes when I really said no and now Inuyasha and Miroku think I said yes when I really want to say no but I have to say yes now because you never told them I said no!" Kagome rushed the sentence. Sango was confused.
"Say that again just a little slower for me." Sango said rather slowly.
"Basically I have to do it now but I still don't want to." Kagome sighed.
"Kags, why don't you want to do it? It'll be fun!"
"Because I'm can't sing, I never stood in front of loads of people and I have a bad feeling about it." An endless chill ran down her spine once more. Kagome started getting Goosebumps on her arms.
"Kags if you wan, I can give you some singing practise, I'll help you get some confidence and don't worry. If something bad happened, Inuyasha, me and monk will be there." Sango said assuringly. Kagome put on a smile but in her head…
"That's what I'm worried about." She thought. Kagome nodded and the two girls decided to change and go to bed.
Back with the boys, Inuyasha had fallen asleep on the sofa and Miroku had fallen in love with the girl on the TV again. At around 2am all the teens were asleep.
1 week later
"Kags I'll meet you in the studio!" Sango shouted back.
"Okay I'll be there in a sec." Kagome shouted.
"Ow! Did you have to shout?"
Kagome giggled.
"Sorry Inuyasha." She said softly. She patted one of his ears as she ran past him with a glass of water in her hand. Inuyasha sighed. Her touch was really soft. Kikyo would either cover or yank his ears off.
Back in the studio…
Sango sat at the piano with Kagome standing beside her. They were doing some simple warm-ups.
"la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la"
"awesome kags. Right moving on to another day."
Kagome got ready for the song as Sango started playing on the piano. (a/n this song is another day by Amy diamond)
I'm sorry
For all the words I didn't say
It's too late
Cause now you're gone so far away
I feel like I'm lost
With nothing left but shattered dreams
I'm so lonely
I'm holding on to memories
But then I feel your love surrounding me
And it takes away the pain inside of me
I believe
I believe we'll be together
Another day
Another time and place
Somewhere, someway
We'll meet another day
Another day
Belongs to you and me
Somewhere, someway
Another day
Oh darling
We may be so far apart
But I know that
You'll always stay inside my heart
Forever
Cause you're the only love I known
Together
I'll never have to be alone
Your spirit gives me hope to carry on
Now I understand that even though you're gone
Life goes on
Life goes on without you baby
Another day
Another time and place
Somewhere, someway
We'll meet another day
Another day
Belongs to you and me
somewhere, someway
At this point Sango did her piano instrumental.
Another day
Another time and place
Somewhere, someway
We'll meet another day
Another day
Belongs to you and me
Somewhere, someway
Another day
Kagome finished the song and took a deep breath.
"You see Kagome, if you can sing in front of us you can sing in front of anyone."
Sango stated.
"us?" Kagome asked. She turned and saw Miroku, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Inutashio standing at the door with smiles. Kagome went a deep shade of red and laughed nervously. She never let anyone but Sango come to the rehearsals.
The next day…
It was only a couple of days till the competition and they still didn't know what song to do. They had made a list. It took hours but they finally found the perfect song and got practicing immediately. They were great first time but they thought practise made perfect.
Hours later…
It was now 7pm and the group had rehearsed enough.
"Come on, we have one more thing to do.!" Sango squealed. Kagome knew exactly what she was talking about, the boys however were clueless.
"What?" the boys asked.
"WE NEED TO CHOOSE OUT OUTFITS!!!" Sango screamed. She was way too excited. The boys groaned and eventually and slowly followed the girls upstairs. Sango decided she would choose the boys outfits first.
"My god Inuyasha you do have a load of shitty clothes!" Sango said as she chucked them all out of the wardrobe and onto the floor.
"Hey, they're cool!" Inuyasha protested whilst Miroku and Kagome lay on the bed laughing.
"Oh hello! This will totally work! Inuyasha you put these on and Miroku you put these on….NOW!" Sango shouted as the boys took the clothes and ran to the bathroom.
5 minutes later Miroku come out in black jeans and a black top with purple decorations on it. Along with that he had dark purple converses and a black and black fingerless gloves that went to under his elbows. They had purple stripes and the purple skull with the bone cross.
Inuyasha came out wearing exactly the same thing but instead of purple, it was a darkish shade of red. The gloves were black and red, the shirt had red decorations and the converses were dark red.
"Oh my gosh you guys look so cool, Sango your like, an artist!" Kagome said as she examined the outfits.
"Yeah yeah, they look great…OUR TURN!!!!" Sango screamed again. Inuyasha's ears were flat against his head.
"Sheesh woman don't you ever SHUT UP!"
"Oh Inuyasha, I'm so sorry. I'll try be a little more QUIET NEXT TIME YOU STUPID DICKHEAD!!" with that she dragged Kagome out of the room and into Kagome's. (a/n remember Miroku and Sango don't live here so they have to borrow kagome's and Inuyasha's clothes.)
The boys decided to wait out side the room for the girls. It seemed like forever they were waiting. Inuyasha was just dozing off when through the door…
"INTRODUCING…TWO OF THE FINEST GIRLS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD , THE LOVELY SANGO AND THE GOGEOUS KAGOME!!!"
Sango walked out wearing a black strapless shirt that had a dark purple skull with the bone cross right in the middle. She wore with that a dark purple mini skirt and dark purple converses over fishnet tights. She wore purple necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. She had black mascara, dark lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her hair was done up into a high ponytail with strands sticking down the sides of her face.
"NOW TO INTRODUCE, THE GORGEOUS KAGOME, SORRY FOR SHOUTING INUYASHA!" Sango avoided Miroku's looks as she spoke.
Kagome walked out into the corridor. She was wearing the same as Sango except she was wearing red instead of purple. Her hair was down and wavy and her eyes really showed the colour in her face.
The boys were amazed at how they looked and at how Sango found outfits so similar to their own. They all looked great and the outfits went with the style of song (a/n okay I am an emo so this is how I'm making the characters, don't diss). The band was going to be a success.
The day of the battle of the bands…
All the bands were ready backstage as the café filled up. It was pretty much a full house, which didn't help Kagome's nerves at all. She eventually calmed down after some words of confidence from her friends. She didn't tell them that the bad feeling she had was getting worse. But that wasn't going to stop her from helping her friends.
Later the announcer came on stage.
"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the opening of Zone Café!" there was a loud applause. "The owned will be giving the prize to the winning band so you won't see him until later. But for now, get your drinks and snacks ready because the battle of the bands starts in 15 minutes. Thank you." With that, the announcer walked offstage and the audience started chatting away again. Backstage trouble was stirring.#
"What on earth are you doing here Yashi? And with that thing too?" The girls voice was high and annoying, her outfit showed as much as it possibly could and her make up made her look like she had tried all the tester makeup from 5 shops without removing it. Take all that away and she could have been Kagome.
"Fuck off Kikyo, you dumped me so why are you acting all lovey dovey around me?"
"Oh Yashi, I didn't want to dump you. That mean man forced me to have sex with him, then dump you!" she cried as tears rolled down her eyes.
"Wow, really convincing!" Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"I know right." Kikyo smiled as she looked up at Inuyasha.
"Anyway sweetie, I asked you a question. Who is she?" Kikyo got harsher as she pointed to Kagome. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and put his arm around her.
"This beautiful young lady is Kagome, best friends and singer of our band." Inuyasha seemed to say this proudly which made Kagome feel better.
"Oh Yashi I'm in a band, I could be your singer, not this wannabe." Kikyo said as she roughly pushed Kagome away from him who was luckily caught by Sango.
"Lets have a vote." Miroku said. Inuyasha nodded and agreed.
"All in favour of Kikyo as out singer?" Kikyo raised her hand and smiled triumphantly.
"And all in favour of keeping the wonderful Kagome?" Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku raised their hands.
"We're keeping Kagome. Bye Kikyo" Inuyasha said before turning his back on her. Kikyo went off is a huff. At that moment the announcer got back on stage.
"The first group to go up is…the KIKETTES." There was a round of applause and a few wolf whistles from the men as Kikyo got on stage. (a/n okay this is candy man by Christina aguilera)

"Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Jane lost her grip
and a-down she fell
Squared herself away as she let out a yell"
The crown went wild as the kikettes finished the song. The announcer got on stage.
"Ladies and Gentleman, the KIKETTES!" he shouted as he had to push Kikyo off the stage. It seems she was getting too much love she didn't want it to end. As she walked past Inuyasha she whispered,
"Now do you know who you want? Candyman?" she was being seductive and that just made Inuyasha angry.
After all the rest of the bands had gone, it was finally their turn.
"Everyone, please help me in welcoming the final act, ROCK FAITH" there was another loud applause as they got on stage. Sango took guitar, Inuyasha took guitar and microphone, Kagome took microphone and Miroku took drums. Kagome felt someone was watching her closely. The music had started so she pushed the thought aside. (a/n wake me up by evanescence I'm hoping you know the girl/boy bits.)
How
can you see into my eyes Without a soul, (Wake me up) Now that I know what I'm

Bring me to life
As they finished the crowd went silent. Then it exploded into applause. The loudest applause yet. The announcer ran on stage.
"I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHO OUR WINNER IS!!! We will announce the winner in 5 minutes. LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, ROCK FAITH!" there was another applause as the group left the stage. Kagome had never felt so happy. They were getting congratulations from backstage former groups.
The group had rested and 5 minutes had passed.
"Okay settle down please. Now earlier tonight we choose 5 random people from the audience as our undercover judges and we gathered their votes. They have amazingly all chosen the one group. Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the battle of the band winners…………………..ROCK FAITH!"
Sango and Kagome squealed and Miroku patted Inuyasha's back. The four ran onto the stage and bowed for the audience.
"OKAY PEOPLE PLEASE SETTLE DOWN AND PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE OWNER OF THIS CAFÉ, MR JAMES IHSARUGIH!"
Kagome and the rest clapped. Kagome stopped when a familiar face appeared on stage. Her face went pale and her heart beat as fast as it could. Her father looked her straight in the eye and smirked. As he walked past her he whispered…
"You should have known I would find you princess!" Kagome didn't say a word. Inuyasha noticed that she looked like she was about to cry. He pulled her into his chest where she cried.
"Kagome? What is it?" he asked softly. Miroku and Sango had now noticed this.
"Kags? What's wrong?" they asked.
"H-h-h-it's –h-h-him." She shuddered. Sango and Miroku were confused but Inuyasha knew exactly what she meant. He looked at Sango and she took Kagome. Inuyasha just stood there.
"Would the leader of the band please come forth and collect the prize." Mr H asked. When he saw Inuyasha walking up to him he said…
"Oh, I thought the young girl was the leader?" as soon as he finished he got a kick right in the stomach.
"YEAH I BET YOU FUCKING DID, YOU PHYSCO!" whilst Mr H was on the floor Inuyasha kicked him. Miroku and Sango caught on and Miroku joined Inuyasha. The crowd watched in amazement. As the fight went on Kagome was bottling up her courage. She pushed Sango off of her and screamed…
"INUYASHA AND MIROKU, STOP IT!" she fell to her knees. "Please?" she said softly. "I just want to get out of here."
"Fine." The boys mumbled together. They gave him a final kick and left him on the stage bleeding. The four teenagers walked towards the exit, unaware of what Mr H was doing.
Mr H was on his feet now, still unsteady from the beating. He searched the inside of his pocket jacket and pulled out a gun. There were screams but by the time the group turned around…
BANG
The police rushed in with the paramedics behind them.
Kagome lay on the floor surrounded by paramedics.
"Get the stretched, we have a bullet hole on the right shoulder. Hurry she's losing blood! My god, she also has slight injuries basically everywhere else. Does anyone know what happened?"
Inuyasha walked forward. "The man on the stage is her father who beats her. we found her and looked after her. then we came her and won the competition, we beat him a little and just before you arrived he shot her." Tears were forming in Inuyasha's eyes. Only for his Kagome.
"Sir would you be willing to come to the hospital with her until you can get someone to fill the forms?"
"Yeah sure." Inuyasha followed them outside and into the ambulance.
Dun dun dun, cliffy, this time it will not take me so long to write a new chappy. I promise.
Luv lozzi
