Chapter 11: Love In The Air
Disclaimer: I love Inuyasha…but I don't own it.
Layla: I'm so getting $40 today…
Emma: Yeah, right!
Aqua: Come on ladies, play nice…
Jazz: Anyway… About the last chapter, Sora, I'm sorry to disappoint, but Inuyasha ran running home to his mommy, crying. But, yes, I do love your idea! And I like pickles to, but I feel bad for your muse. Hope I didn't disappoint anyone last chapter… Well, I love you all, my wonderful readers and reviewers!
-O-o-O-o-O-
The ringing rang out in the room, as everyone stared in shock as Kagome's palm collided with Inuyasha's face, leaving a harsh red hand print.
"K-Kagome…?" Inuyasha asked, putting a hand to his red cheek, looking at her with confusion. Why had she turned him down…
"I can't believe you, Inuyasha. I used to like you…but you didn't trust me enough. But you trusted Kikyo, despite all those rumors. All that time, you trusted her… but one thing and you turn away from me? How can I trust you if we were dating… first rumor you heard, you'd dump me. Why? Because you will always compare me to my little sister." Kagome said, hand to her chest, head bent so no one would see her tears.
"But Kagome…" Inuyasha began.
"Just…go, Inuyasha. Please." She said quietly. He sighed in defeat, and did as she wished, softly closing the door behind him. The room was silent, until Bankotsu could no longer take it.
"Well, that was a downer. But, I know how to make things a little lighter in mood." Bankotsu said. He then turned to Rin, whispered something in her ear, and her face lit up like a Christmas tree. Rin ran off to turn on some music, and then she ran back, dancing to the strange tune.
Rin forced Kagome to promise to participate, and then sat her on the couch while Bankotsu started to sing.
Charlie you look quite down
With your big sad eyes
And your big fat frown
The world doesn't have to be so gray
Charlie when your life's a mess
When your feeling blue
Or are in distress
I know what can wipe that sad away
All you have to do is
Put a banana in your ear
(a banana in my ear?)
Put a ripe banana right into your favorite ear
It's true
(says who?)
So true
Once it's in your gloom will disappear
The bad in the world is hard to hear
When in your ear a banana cheers
So go and put a banana in your ear
Put a banana in your ear
(I'd rather keep my ear clear)
You will never be happy
If you live your life in fear
It's true!
(says you)
So true!
When it's in the skies are bright and clear
Oh, every day of every year
The sun shines bright in this big blue sphere
So go and put a banana in your Earrrrrrrrrrrr!
The party goers laughed as the strange song reached it end and everyone seemed to have cheered up.
"Oh, and by the way, it's changed." Sango said randomly.
"Whatcha talkin' bout, Sango?" Rin asked.
"I mean what I called Kikyo. She's not the SWCKHLCAHSWAATGIS
anymore." Sango replied, shrugging.
"Then what is she?" Rin prompted.
"She's a ." Sango stated.
"Um…what the hell is that?" Kilala asked, giggling.
"She's a Slut Who Can't Keep Her Legs Closed And Has Slept With Almost All The Guys In School And Probably Some Girls Too Because She Is A Whore No One Likes And Everyone Wishes She Would Die In A Hole." Sango told her.
"How…how do you remember all of that?" Ayame asked, shocked and impressed. Sango just shrugged.
"Guys, guys… this isn't about Kikyo. This is about us saying sorry to Kagome for being such jackasses." Kanna said, smiling. Everyone agreed and the festivities began. Jakotsu even started a conga line.
"Hey, Lala, Aya, Rin, Sango! We never did our song…wanna do it now?" Kagome asked, feeling the urge to sing. The girls all nodded and the guys cleared a space for them that was supposed to be like a stage while everyone else sat in a chair. Except Sesshomaru. Who was still in a corner questioning why he hadn't killed himself yet. The music began, and Sango went first. (A/N: In case I forget, if I don't say Kilala is singing at the moment, Kilala is singing whatever is in the parenthesis.)
No matter where we come from
We can be ourselves and still be…one!
The music sped up, and so the friends took on the chorus together.
Amiga's, cheetahs, friends for life
The rhythm and each other, that's what keeps us tight!
Amiga's, cheetahs, livin' the dream
Nothing is ever gonna come between, Amigas!
Rin took over for the next bit.
What could be any better than
Knowin' someone will be there when
You gotta pour your heart out, tell your secrets to!
Someone who lets you be yourself
There when you need help
All five went again.
They've got your back win or lose
Amigas, Cheetahs, friends for life (friends for life)!
The rhythm and each other, that's what keeps us tight!
Amigas, Cheetahs, livin' the dream
Nothing is ever gonna come between, Amigas!
Ayame sang the next few lines.
Kickin' it with 'em just for fun
Or when you need the 411
Someone who gives you a shout out
Again, the five blended together.
When you lose your faith
And Ayame went solo once more.
Just when you think nobody can ever understand
They're right here to show you the way! (Show you the way!)
Then, the five sang as one again.
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Oooooohhhh (Friends for life!)
Amigas, Cheetahs, friends for life
The rhythm and each other
That's what keep us tight
Amigas, cheetahs, livin' the dream
Nothing is ever gonna come between, Amigas!
Kilala took over.
Ya que estamos juntas
Estamos en un mundo
Donde somos uno por la musica!
Kagome took over next.
If we just believe it
You know we can be it
Nothin' can stand in our way
Stand in our way…
Amigas, Cheetahs, friends for life (friends for life)!
The rhythm and each other, that's what keeps us tight!
Amigas, Cheetahs, livin' the dream
Nothing is ever gonna come between, Amigas!
Amigas, Cheetahs, friends for life (friends for life)!
The rhythm and each other, that's what keeps us tight!
Amigas, Cheetahs, livin' the dream
Nothing is ever gonna come between, Amigas!
Amigas, Cheetahs, friends for life (friends for life)…!
When the song ended, the girls took a fierce pose. Everyone applauded, except Sesshomaru. Who was still in the corner…debating whether life was still worth living.
"So glad we finally did that!" Kagome said, falling to the ground.
"I know right? After, like, 20 rehearsals." Kilala commented, sipping some punch through a silly straw.
After four more hours of partying, the guys were forced to leave, but the girls were staying the night. So, they played a game they made up called "Sing about My Life." In the game, there are two teams. One player chooses a person on the other team, and tells them they want to hear the person sing a song about whatever situation is going on in their lives. After a few turns, Kagura chose Kagome.
"Okay Kagome, all truth, how do you feel about Inuyasha?"
Kagome looked in thought for a moment before she grabbed guitar from her closet and sat back down in the circle of friends. She began to play.
Smooth talkin' ,so rockin'
He's got everything that a girl's wanting
Guitar cutie, he plays it groovy!
And I can't keep myself from doin' something' stupid
Think I'm really fallin' for his smile
Get butterflies when he says my name!
He's got somethin' special,
He's got somethin' special
And when he's lookin' at me I wanna get all sentimental
He's got somethin' special
He's got somethin' special
I can hardly breath, something's been telling me
Telling me maybe he could be the one
He could be the one, he could be the one!
He could be the one, he could be the one!
He could be the one!
He's lightning, sparks are flying
And everywhere I go he's always on my mind and
I'm goin' crazy, bout him lately!
And I can't help myself from how my heart is racing
Think I'm really digging on his vibe
He really blows me away, hey!
He's got somethin' special, he's got somethin' special
He's got somethin' special, and he's lookin at me
I wanna get all sentimental
He's got somethin special, he's got somethin special
I can hardly breathe, something's been telling me
Telling me maybe he could be the one
He could be the one, he could be the one
He could be the one! He could be the one,
He could be the one, he could be the one!
And he's got a way, of making me feel
Like everything I do is perfectly fine
The stars are aligned when I'm with him
And I'm so into him!
He' s got somethin' special
He's got somethin' special
And when he's looking at me I wanna get all sentimental
He's got somethin' special
He's got somethin' special
I can hardly breathe, something's been telling me
Telling me maybe he could be the one
He could be the one, he could be the one
He could be the one! He could be the one,
He could be the one, he could be the one!
Everyone clapped as the song ended.
"So, Kags, if that's how you feel…" Rin started.
"No, not until I'm certain of everything." Kagome said, dropping the subject.
-O-o-O-o-O-
The next day, school was cancelled. Heaven knows why…it just was. Their school was like that. Anyways, so, the gang decided to go the carnival. When they all got there, they stuck together, until Kagura, Kanna, Kilala, and Jakotsu went off somewhere, but they wouldn't say where. When they came back, they said they wanted to go to the Tunnel of Love ride. When Kagome asked why, they replied saying that they just wanted to.
Everyone basically said they didn't care, except for Sesshomaru. He didn't answer. In his head, he was wishing to Kami to be anywhere but where he was.
When they got past the ferris wheel, they were met with a surprise- Inuyasha was there.
"Hey, Inu! Was sup, Dawg?" Rin called, laughing as she wave. Inuyasha looked up, gave them a small smile and walked over to them.
"Hey…what ride you guys going on?" Inuyasha asked, constantly glancing at Kagome, despite his best efforts to keep eye contact with Rin.
"Tunnel of love…wanna come with?" Rin replied, holding her hands together in a form of begging. For extra good measures, she gave him her ultimate weapon- the puppy dog face.
Of course, like always, he broke. He nodded and followed them. About seven minutes later, they reached the tunnel of love. It was huge, the water hidden by a wall that was at least 15 feet tall. There was a cave that led past the wall, and rumor had it that beyond there was something that seemed like a small lagoon.
"Kay, so…I think Kags and Inu should go first." Rin said, smiling.
"That isn't such a good idea…" Inuyasha and Kagome started at the same time, but Rin gave them both the puppy dog face. Don't break…you can do this, don't break…
"Fine." The two said, getting in line. They soon got on the ride, but Kagome refused to say a word to Inuyasha. For her, the ride was agonizingly long. It seemed they were only going about two mph every minute.
Off in the darkness and in the tall fields of grass, their friends were in hiding with silent walkie talkies.
"Pink U. to Blue U., Pink U. to Blue U.. It's time for you to start to set the mood, or we'll never get anywhere with these two ." Rin said.
"Affirmative, Pink U. Blue U. out." Kilala replied. "What we need, is some music."
"No problem, Blue U. Just say the word."
"Percussion! Strings! Wind! Words!" Kilala ordered, and of course, each was supplied. Then, she began to sing.
There, you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her
And you don't know why, but your dying to try
You wanna, kiss the girl
Yes, you want her, look at her
You know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Sing with me now
So Rin, Shippo, Ayame, Kanna, Kagura, Yura, and Sango sang with Lala.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My-Oh-My
Look like the boy to shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad, ain't it a shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl
As the song went to instrumental, Inuyasha and Kagome left the care and were in the small lagoon like area. Kilala took over again.
Now's you moment, floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you'd better do it soon, no time will be better
She don't say a word, and she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Everyone sang with her again.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la float along
And listen to the song, the song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
The music play
Do what the music say, you wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Why don't you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl!
Everyone leaned forward as Kagome and Inuyasha leaned toward each other…so close…almost there…
SLAP!
"What the hell was that?" Their friends harshly whispered from their hiding spots.
"Kagome…"Inuyasha trailed off, not sure exactly what to say to her. He didn't have to say anything. She slammed her lips against his, which led to a passionate kiss between the two. No one saw that coming…
The ride hit its end, and the two got off holding hands. They met up with their friends and told them the good news.
"Aww, another couple! Wait…where's Sesshomaru?" Rin said, looking for her boyfriend.
"I think I heard him say something about drowning himself in the duck pond…" Koga said.
"Crap, I told him no more suicide attempts in public places where he can traumatize little children!" Rin exclaimed. "I gotta go find him before some other five year olds need therapy." Rin said, walking away to find the duck pond.
"What now?" Bankotsu asked, walking next to Yura, hands behind his head.
"I don't know…look, Rin's coming back with Sesshomaru." Kilala said, pointing at the bubbly girl and her depressed boyfriend who looked disappointed he was still alive…
So, with nothing else better to do, everyone high tailed it over to Kagome's place…again.
"You guys are over here so much you basically live here." Kagome said, sitting on the steps.
"Well, I do live here." Rin replied, sitting on the love seat with Sesshomaru. The friends started a huge game of Truth or Dare, when Inuyasha suddenly took Kagome's hand and ushered up the steps. Kagome stood up and followed him into her room.
Kagome sat on the bed while Inuyasha grabbed her guitar that was leaning on the wall. Inuyasha sat down in front of her on the floor, strumming the first few notes of a song.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I know that you are something special
To you, I'd be, always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul, your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind if you give me the chance
I will never make you cry, c'mon lets try
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Am I crazy for wanting you?
Baby, do you think you could want me too?
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do?
I just wanna know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your soul
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul, beautiful soul, yeah…
Your beautiful soul
As Inuyasha strummed the last strings of his song, tears filled Kagome's eyes. She leaned forward and kissed him. Before the kiss could be deepened, Kagome's eyes snapped open. Before Inuyasha could object, Kagome silently put a finger to his lips and signaled for silence. She tip toed over to the door, gently put her hand on the doorknob, and quickly yanked the door open. Kanna, Rin, Kilala, Kagura, Sango, Ayame, Yura, and Jakotsu came falling face first onto the floor.
They all smiled up at her nervously as she crossed her arms and smirked down at them. Everyone went back downstairs and left three hours later, only Rin, Kagome and Inuyasha were left. While Rin was upstairs, Inuyasha and Kagome went into a full out MOS (make out session). When Rin came back down and interrupted them, Inuyasha said he had to go and left. That's when Rin hounded her sister.
"So, Kags, come on, tell me!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"Fine… we are, officially, going out. Me and Inuyasha are together, happy?"
Somewhere else, Jakotsu was at Inuyasha's house, asking him the same thing, getting the same basic reply. So, Rin called Sango and Jakotsu called Miroku.
Sango:
Rin?
Miroku:
Jai?
Sango:
What's up?
Miroku:
What's going on?
Both:
Mhmmmm
Uh-huh
Wait, what?
Miroku:
No way!
Sango:
Since when?
Both:
Gotta go gotta tell like yesterday
Sango:
Lala?
Lala:
Sango?
Shippo:
Miroku?
Miroku:
Shippo?
Sango and Miroku:
I got news, got news
Lala and Shippo:
Go ahead and speak!
Sango and Miroku:
Gotta pass it around, Inuyasha and Kags!
Lala:
They're what? No way!
Shippo:
Well it's about time.
Everyone:
Pass it around now don't be slow!
Gotta go gotta tell everybody I know!
Yura:
I've never heard of a better couple than them
Sango and Lala:
Kags girl, congratulations!
Guys:
You got it all man!
The friends, the girl!
Kikyo:
How could this happen?
All:
Now what'll Kinky-hoe do?
Now what'll Kinky-hoe do?
Now what'll Kinky-how do for revenge?
Kaguya:
They're together!
Kikyo:
If this is one bit true
I'm gonna scream and shout!
Is this some kind of sick joke?
Inu-baby is supposed to hate her and be mine!
Kaguya:
Yeah, they're not even in the same league or clique!
Kikyo:
Someone's gotta teach her the rules-my rules!
Kaguya:
Right!
What're your rules again?
Kikyo:
Rule 1. Pick the right clique
2. Act like your clique
3. Dress for your clique
4. Know where your clique clicks
5. Stick to the status quo!
-O-o-O-o-O-
"I can't believe this…" Kagome whispered, watching as the students of Shikon Arts parted way for her.
"You're dating the most popular guy in school…what do you expect?" Inuyasha said, giving his signature cocky grin while holding her hand.
"Yeah…everyone is acting like since your like the popular acting jock, and I'm like the braniac singer we shouldn't be together." Kagome replied, huffing.
"There ya go! You know what they saw- cliques shouldn't mix. So by us dating, we have turned this school upside down with confusion." Inuyasha told her.
"Yeah, if when we go to lunch kids start singing about confessions and stuff, I think it'll be safe to say, we will have then turned our school upside down." Inuyasha nodded agreement.
Kikyo watched the couple from the shadows, already plotting her devious revenge.
-O-o-O-o-O-
Jazz: Chapter 11!
Emma: -sobbing-
Kelsey: What's her problem?
Jazz: Remember, her and Layla had a bet, and Kagome said no.
Layla: Woo hoo! 40 bucks!
Kelsey: Okay, well…we don't own "But A Banana In Your Ear" (from the second Charlie the Unicorn), " Amigas Cheetahs", "Kiss The Girl", "Beautiful Soul", or "Cellular Fusion" (even though it's obvious we totally edited it).
Jazz: Well, thanks to all my readers and reviewers! I love you all! Review, or no updates!
