Song in this chapter is Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
Chapter 10
I can't believe it! She said Inuyasha was hers…does that mean Inuyasha has a girlfriend?
"Kagome," I turn to Miroku and he continues, "Don't buy it. That's Kikyo; she's Inuyasha's ex-girlfriend. Inuyasha's into you, he's just struggling in realizing that."
I tilt my head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Sango cuts in, "We've known Inuyasha for a long time. He's not in sync with his emotions like most people are. He tries to hide them as much as possible."
Sesshomaru continues for Sango, "He knows how much he likes you and the little pup is scared shitless because of it. He's too much of a coward to admit he has feeling for you."
"How do you know?"
Miroku says, "He talks about you all the time without realizing it and when he does he grumbles and pouts."
I grin evilly and say, "Do you guys want to help me with something?"
Kouga asks, "What are you planning on doing?"
"Well, I never said I was going down without a fight. Kikyo doesn't know who she's messing with."
Sango smiles and laughs, "I knew I'd like this girl! So what do you have in mind?"
(Inuyasha POV)
Kikyo continuously drags me along the beach until we're pretty far from the party and the sun is already going down. We've been walking in circles for a while without saying anything. Eventually, the awkward silence gets to me. "Kikyo, what do you want? What are you even doing here?"
"Can't I just spend time with my boyfriend?"
"You know I'm not your boyfriend, you left me for Naraku. You told me and anyone else that would listen that I wasn't good enough for you. So why are you here?"
"I told you I wanted to spend time with my boyfriend." Is she even listening to me? She reaches up to try to kiss me; for some reason the thought of kissing Kikyo was revolting. Not knowing why, I turn my head away from her and she kisses my cheek instead of the intended area. "So, do you want to have go somewhere else Inuyasha? I don't want to be seen with these people."
What does she mean by 'these people'? What was wrong with them? Then I remember her classification of how she should act because she's a priestess. She thinks because she's among those of the pure, she shouldn't be around demons. Demons are known to be evil and impure. Naraku can apparently mask the fact that he's demon and can transform, so she left me for him.
All of a sudden I hear music blasting and I walk in the direction I'm hearing it from. There was a band playing and our instruments were the only things on the beach. What's going on? I start to walk in the direction of the music and she follows me back in the direction of the party.
"Inuyasha, where are we going? Are we going somewhere more private? Oh, that would be so romantic!"
"Shut up."
"Excuse me?" I don't answer her because I'm trying to listen to the music. This isn't something me and the guys usually play…
The instruments and people finally come into view. I see Kagome at the microphone where I usually am, Sango on the drums, and Miroku on his keyboard. Sesshomaru was doing something with his laptop and it all sounded really cool. Once we get in front of them, they start a song and Kagome starts singing.
Kagome walks over with the portable microphone and winks at me, making me gulp and I'm not able to look away from her as she sings her song.
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend"
My jaw, I think can practically touch the ground at this point. Is she really singing a song like this to me? Kagome walks over so she's standing next to me while tapping her foot to the beat.
"You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about ya all the time
You're so addictive"
She dances around me while hanging an arm around my shoulders; when she lands right in front of me, she dances in front of me for a split second before twirling away again.
"Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright?
(alright, alright, alright, alright)
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And Hell Yeah
I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right
(I'm right, I'm right, I'm right, I'm right)"
Kagome turns to Kikyo and gives her a look and pulls the ends of her hair up and down like a puppet on strings.
"She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend"
She comes back in front of me and stares me right in the eyes as if she is searching for something, but at the same time it's as if she also knows something about me that I didn't.
"I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again!)"
She points a finger to me as if to signal me to come closer and I take a step without realizing it at first. I know that I did when Kikyo pulls on my sleeve irritably. Kagome pretends to slap Kikyo on the third line of her verse. I almost laugh at Kikyo's face at that, it was priceless.
"She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
"I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
"In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?"
Kagome starts dancing along with her lyrics now; twirling her finger for the first, kneeling lower in the middle, and shaking her head towards the last. She starts to do it again while she repeats the verse over. "In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
No way! No way!
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
No way! No way!
"Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
No way! No way!
"Hey-yaaay
(I know that you like me)
No waaaaaay
(No it's not a secret)
Hey-yaaay
(I want to be your girlfriend)
No way! No way!
Hey! Hey!"
After that song I can't help but smile down at the girl that comes into my arms as she finishes her song. I can't believe this is happening to me, I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
Kikyo yells, "What the hell is going on here?"
Kagome's smile falters and she turns around. "Inuyasha isn't yours, and I'm not going anywhere without a fight. So, if you want Inuyasha, that's fine. But you're going to have to get through me first."
Kikyo glares at Kagome and says, "I'm not someone you're going to want to mess with, remember that you little wanna-be."
Kagome glares right back at her and says, "Bring it Kikyo, I'll be waiting." Kikyo storms off and I smirk confidently as I turn to the gang. "So, what's next?"
I know I'm changing the characters a bit in this story. I always wanted to strangle Kagome because she should have had more confidence in herself and in Inuyasha. In this story, she fights for what she wants. Please review; any ideas are welcomed!
