Sing a Song with Me
Cherry Mecha
Chapter 3: Welcome
~*~*~
Just some thanks to these people for being my first ever reviewers!!
DemonBlade: Thanks! More coming right up! I'll try to write more frequently in the future. ^_^
Catleya: I'll write more but don't be so sure about Kikyou. ::evil grin::
tenshineko: YUP! Without the auditions! But knowing Inuyasha, he's bound to say something stupid later. Just wait for it.XD
Lyn/Lin: Hee hee. I love cliffhangers but don't worry, see how you like this chapter.
Apie: lol. me too! I love the sappy stuff. I'm glad you like how they met. I hope that's how I meet my soul mate.whoops.a little too much info.
jenna: Thank you! I'll be sure to!
sorena27. here ya go! the next chapter! I'm glad you like my idea.
Lil 01: wow. ::blush:: thank you so much! I'm glad you like the story.
DeathAngelHell: Yup Shippo was forced into playing piano, its more fun that way. I don't know what Rin is yet, I'll get to that in future chapters. And I can't explain about Kikyou yet. It was hard to find a solid reason for her to leave. Maybe it'll all be explained later.
Lady Dark Angel: I know its mean but I can't help it! I'll try to update more!
cashmere: I hate Kikyou too (Don't hurt me!) and you personally have my permission to drool over Inuyasha ^_^
bookwrm580: naw, its not a stupid question. I hope you like what happens!
Lady-Ravenclaw: I'll be looking forward to your reviews! I'm glad you like it so far! I could always use some constructive criticism.
Trunks Gal: I don't like Kikyou either but I may bring her back just for conflict..hee hee.
Loneliestnumber: I'm glad you like it so far. I tried to be realistic as I could. I'm glad that you think I succeeded. ^_^
LynnxLady: thank you for your great advice! If you go back and check, you'll notice that I took out that part. I'm going to try to put it in somewhere else. Feel free to give me constructive criticism! It's always welcome!
WarriorGL: ::Blush:: Aw thanks. Its awesome that we had the same idea! You should try it too! I'm sure you could manage it.
Seigan: I didn't like the nicknames either. That's why I've decided to take them out. As for Miroku and Inuyasha, I've got to have some humor right?
Cloudie: How do you like how Inuyasha met Kagome? I'm glad you liked the rest of it. ^_^
A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed! Honestly, I didn't expect so many on the first day. It made my day. My friends saw me skipping down the halls in school and got scared out of their brains. Heh. Anyway, if you have any song ideas from anime shows or suggestions as to where the plot should go or even new titles, include it in your review. I'm open to all ideas. Thank you all!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the characters from it. I also don't own the songs I mention. Heh.
~*~*~
Kagome stared at the boy who stood in the doorframe. The very cute and well dressed boy...Wait. Where did that come from?
Kagome freed her mind of those thoughts and asked again.
"Who are you?" She said with a more bold voice this time. The boy stared back.
He looks kind of nervous, Kagome thought. He's cute when he's nervous. No! Stop that!
"Uh...yeah I'm Inuyasha and I'm...uh...here to pick up Rin." He mentally kicked himself for not thinking of anything cooler to say in front of this cute girl he just met. Wait. CUTE? He desperately pushed those thougths away.
Kagome cocked her head and stared at him. Inuyasha stared back and felt a blush creeping on.
"So...uh, can I have a seat?"
Kagome blinked. She hadn't realized that she had been staring. She blushed and looked away.
"Sure. Go ahead. I'm Kagome by the way."
Inuyasha nodded and sat down on a tiny stool, the only other piece of furniture besides the piano and the menacing looking bookshelf.
After an awkward silence, Inuyasha spoke up.
"So where'd you learn to sing like that? You're really good."
Kagome blushed. A gorgeous stranger was complimenting her. Realizing she thought of the word 'gorgeous' made her blush ten shades deeper.
"Erm...Thanks." She gave him a small smile. He smiled back.
Then came another awkward silence. Inuyasha took this time to think. Kagome had a voice that was obviously well trained. She could play the piano better than anyone he had heard before as well. Plus, she had the same voice range as Kikyou so she'd have no trouble filling in for her. Inuyasha inwardly cringed when he thought of Kikyou. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and spoke again.
"Hey...um...I'm a band and we need a lead singer...uh, are you interested?"
Kagome looked surprised. She hadn't expected an invitation into a band from this guy. She opened her mouth to say something but Inuyasha spoke before she could get anything out.
"Look, before you say anything, could you at least meet the band first? I'm sure they'd love to hear you sing."
Inuyasha blushed again but Kagome didn't notice the compliment. She shut her mouth and numbly nodded. Inuyasha composed himself before speaking again.
"So when can you come to meet them? Do you have more classes to teach?"
Kagome shook herself out of her numb state.
"No. Actually, Rin was my last student for today. Can I just come with you now?"
Inuyasha smirked to himself at the thought of saving Sango and Miroku from the attack of the tone-deaf mob.
"Yeah, sure. That'd be great!"
"What's great? Rin want to know."
Both heads turned to face a puzzled looking girl at the door.
"Eh...I'll tell you later Rin. Kagome's coming with us for now, okay?"
The thought of bringing her new favorite piano teacher home made Rin brake into a big toothy smile.
"Yes, yes! Let's go!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and they shrugged in unison. Kagome took her coat and stepped out of Myouga's mansion into the afternoon sun.
~*~*~
Inuyasha stuck his head in the basement door.
"I'm ba-a-ck! Did you guys miss me?"
The people had all left by now and Sango and Miroku were laying down on separate couches exhausted. They groaned in response to Inuyasha's question.
"Where have you been? This lot was worse than yesterday!" Sango tried to look angry but failed miserably considering she had a migraine.
"I got some good news guys!" Inuyasha grinned and stepped aside to show who he had brought. "Meet Kagome."
Sango and Miroku sat up slightly and stared at the girl who had walked in with Inuyasha. Miroku then rushed to Kagome and took both of her hands in his. Inuyasha and Sango sweat dropped.
"May I have the honor of asking you...Kagome, will you bear my child?"
"Eh?" Kagome stepped back as Miroku got knocked unconscious by a huge bass guitar case. Sango sighed at the body and turned her back to it.
"Don't mind him Kagome. He's a pervert." Sango turned back to Inuyasha "So who's this? Is this your new girlfriend or something?"
Inuyasha and Kagome blushed at the same time. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at his guest and then back at Sango.
"No, actually, she's here for an audition."
"Uh-uh. NO more auditions. I've had enough for one day."
"Sango! Is that any way to treat Inuyasha's guest?"
All three people looked down at Miroku who had apparently regained consciousness and was now sitting up. He tried to get up by supporting his weight on the first thing he could lay his hands on, which happened to be Sango's backside.
"Eeek! Pervert!"
Sango smacked him again with the guitar case. Miroku went out cold. Inuyasha and Kagome sweat dropped. Sango turned back to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"I'm sorry. I suppose that was rude of me. It has just been a really long day. You mentioned something about an audition?"
Inuyasha nodded.
"If you just listen to her this once. Pwetty pweeze with sugar on top?" Inuyasha pulled the best puppy face he could muster. (a/n: hee hee)
Sango sighed.
"Sure, why not? But if my migraine gets worse, you're going to pay Inuyasha."
Inuyasha grinned and turned back to Kagome.
"Do your stuff."
Kagome gave him a little smile and turned to Sango.
"Is there anything you want me to sing?"
Sango snorted and gave her a little smirk.
"Right now, anything that resembles music would be wonderful."
Kagome smiled. She looked around the room and spotted Inuyasha's guitar.
"Mind if I borrow this?" Kagome didn't wait for an answer as she picked it up and played an A. She hummed it to herself before plucking out the first few keys of American Pie. She sang while she strummed a chord here and there, just enough to fill in the harmony of the song but no so much as to take attention away from her voice.
~. . .They started singin'
Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the Levy but the Levy was dry
Then some good ol' boys were drinkin' whisky and rye
Singin' this'll be the day I die
This'll be the day that I die...~
Her voice rang clearly through the basement. Sango and Inuyasha gaped at her. "She never ceases to amaze me..." Inuyasha thought to himself.
Kagome blushed under their intense gazes.
"I've only started guitar lessons so I can't really say that I play...I'd be willing to learn though."
Sango closed her mouth and gave Kagome a warm smile.
"Don't worry about it."
She turned to Miroku who had been unconscious during Kagome's performance. Sango sighed and nudged him none too gently with her foot.
"Yo, Miroku. Wake up."
Miroku stirred and sat up holding his head.
"Huh? What's going on? Did Kagome audition already?"
Sango nodded.
"Yup. Miroku, I'd like you to meet our new singer for Shikon no Tama." She pointed to a speechless Kagome.
~*~*~
A/N: Happy? No cliffhanger. Well, not to me anyway. I've written myself into a rut. I've got a general idea of what I want to happen but I'd like to hear your suggestions too! Review please!
