Yippie Yay!!!! Another chapter.
Mitsuko Maxwell: Hmm...soul stickers...that actually sounds pretty nifty. Maybe I really will use that if you don't mind. I'm drawing all blanks here. (Not very good with naming things) I definatly need a band name though. I'm sure they wouldn't want to be called the No Names. I figure I can go a few more chapters with out one though so I'm gonna put it off until I just can't anymore.
~Chapter Six - When You're the Boy that I Want, I'll be the Girl that You Hate.~
About a week later everyone was finally all moved in and situated. Things were getting back to normal, well as normal as they would be from now on. The walls in the living area were no longer plain, they now had posters, banners, and flyers that had once lined the walls of Miroku's garage. Even a couple of Kagome's paintings hung on the walls now, something that had taken Sango forever to talk her into. Instead of just the couches and chairs, different colored bean bags sat infront of the t.v. area. Of course the guys had hooked up their gaming consoles. They had just about everyone you could imagine between the three of them. Yes, the place was looking quite homey now.
The band was now discussing plans for their music and lyrics. They hadn't really had much time to go over anything yet with unpacking and all.
"So, what exactly are we gonna do about who writes the music. I mean, both Inu and Kago are both really good writers. How we gonna figure out who's songs to use." Miroku asked.
"I'm the leader here. We're going to use my songs. We just got her cause she has a pretty voice."
"What? Just a pretty voice, now wait a" Kagome began but was cut off abruptly by Inu Yasha.
"That's what I said. Got a problem with it?"
"I...I guess not." Kagome's eyes locked onto the floor. She felt so dejected. She had thought that they'ld actually let her atleast help out with the lyrics. They had said that they had loved her song. Why was Inu Yasha being such an ass?
Sango caught the hurt that filled Kagome's eyes, she was definately going to have to have a talk with Inu Yasha later. She could understand why he didn't want to get close to anyone, but why was he being this way towards Kagome. Yeah he had always been a jerk to everyone, even his friends, since all of that stuff had happened to him. What he was doing to Kagome though, that was just wrong. It wasn't like anything she'ld seen him do before. Normally he'ld atleast be somewhat civil to people, but it seemed like he was doing everything in his power to hurt the poor girl. Maybe it did have something to do with the fact that she looked like Kikyo. This wasn't going to be easy and she'ld be damned if she'ld just let Inu Yasha treat Kagome that way. She wasn't just gonna stand by and let him push her to the side like that either. Kagome was going to be just as much part of this band as any other member, whether Inu Yasha liked it or not. She'ld have to speak to him alone though. She knew talking about it infront of Kagome wasn't going to help matters. She was going to have to wait so he'ld be more likely to open up and actually listen to what she had to say.
"Inu Yasha, do you mind stepping onto the balcony with me for a minute. I have something to discuss with you."
"Feh, whatever." Inu Yasha rose from his seat to follow her out.
"Hey Kago," called Miroku as the other two were out of hearing range.
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry, just give him some time. He'll come around and see how great you really are. He's just being pig headed right now."
"I guess." She gave him a half-hearted smile. "Thanks."
"No problem, and whether he'll admit it or not he knows you have talent. He also knows we need you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Inu Yasha closed the door behind him he turned to see Sango throwing death glares at him.
"Wha..what did I do?!"
"Oh come on Inu, get off of it. You know damn well what you did." She looked really pissed.
"Sango, just drop it."
"Inu Yasha what do you think you're doing? Why can't you be atleast civil toward her? Why can't you and her work together on the lyrics?"
"No Way! I'm the leader of this group and I'll make the decisions. It's none of your business why!"
"Can't you see how much you're hurting her though?" Sango sighed. This was getting no where.
"What do you mean?" His voice was beginning to loose it's angry tone.
"I know you're not that dense. You've been nothing but mean to her since she moved in. Why? Atleast tell me that much."
Inu Yasha looked down at the cement underneath his feet. True he wasn't being very friendly towards her, but he hadn't realized he was hurting her. He didn't really think his words had effected her that much. They couldn't have. Sango was just over exaggerating, or was she. Nah, why would that girl care what he thought of her anyway? She was probably just mad cause he wouldn't let her steal his thunder. After all, this was his band. He was the one who had brought them so far. Why was Sango taking her side anyway. It was just some stupid chick, who happened to look like the only person he'ld ever let close enough to break his heart. Not that that had any thing to do with it. Ok, maybe it did just a little. That wasn't the point though. The point was that he was the leader and writer and she was JUST there to sing. That's why they'ld wanted to find her in the first place.
"I'm not being mean to her. I'm like that with everyone, and I don't need to tell YOU that. I'm the writer though. Like I said, she's just a pretty voice. That's what we were looking for wasn't it?"
"Yeah, but can't you atleast give her a chance? I think you two would make a pretty good team if you'ld just try."
"Feh, whatever." With that he walked back inside and sat in his previous spot. Sango let out another sigh and followed.
Kagome looked up and watched as they entered. Her eyes met his only to see him glaring at her. He looked rather annoyed with her. What had she done so wrong? Why did he hate her? She couldn't take the abuse and wasn't going to be able to hold back the tears that fought their way through much longer.
"Since I'm just the pretty voice, I guess you don't need me here. I'm going to my room." She hurried away from the others, not wanting to give Inu Yasha the satisfaction she knew he'ld get from seeing her cry.
Inu Yasha stared after her completely dumb strucked. Was that unshed tears he had seen in her eyes? Now he really was starting to feel guilty.
"Nice going there Inu Yasha, such the ladies man." Kouga glared at him.
Inu Yasha rolled his eyes, it seemed all of his so called friends were giving him that same evil look.
"Fine!" he stated as he stormed off in the direction the girl had went.
He reached her bedroom door and knocked, no answer. Ok, so she didn't want company. To bad. He opened the door and closed it behind him. What he saw infront of him made all his anger and hostility vanish. Nothing but guilt envoloped him. There she was huddled up with a pillow bawling her eyes out. Was that really because of him? But why did his words effect her so much?
Kagome hadn't noticed him come in. She was to rapped up in her own thoughts. Why did he hate her so much? She really did try to be nice to him, but he always would insult her and make her so angry. Every word he said stung and she wasn't really sure why. Normally she didn't really care what people thought of her, but for some reason she just couldn't let it slide with him. The more time she spent with him the more she wanted to get to know him, even if he was the biggest jerk she had ever met. She had no idea why though. That's what bothered her the most. No matter how rude or abnoxious he was to her, she'ld still try to start coversations or give him friendly greetings. All she ever got in response was 'feh' or 'shutup wench'. That was if he even responded at all. Most of the time he'ld ignore her or just straight up walk off. Why did she even care?
"Ka..Ka...gome?" She jumped at the sudden intrusion and came face to face with the boy that plagued her mind.
"What are you doing! Get out!" She turned around quickly hoping he hadn't seen her tear streaked face. Why was he in her room, it's not like he cared. Just thinking that made the tears pour again. She really didn't want him in there to see her like this.
He just stood there shocked for a moment, not really sure what to do. Slowly he began to make his way towards the bed. He took a seat at the other end of the bed.
"Kagome? Why are you crying?"
"Just go away, why do you suddenly care anyway?"
"I...I just..." he let out a sigh,"please tell me."
"I don't want to."
"Why?"
"..."
"Kag"
"Why do you hate me so much?" She cut him off as she turned to look him dead in the eye.
His eyes went wide with the question. So that was it? "I don't hate you."
"Oh yeah, you're doing a pretty good job of acting like you do."
"I don't hate you! You just..."
"Just what?"
"You remind me of some one." His voice was just above a whisper and his gaze shifted to the matress.
"Who?" Such a simply question, but one that brought back so many terrible memories.
"Some one I once knew. She...she..." He closed his eyes trying to fight back emotions that were starting to stir.
"You don't have to finish. You know though, I'm not her." Kagome's hand went out to touch his jaw and she brought his face back up to look at her now dry eyes. Inu Yasha was startled, many things went racing through his mind.
"I know." It was true, he knew she wasn't Kikyo. She might have had the same outward appearance and beauty, but on the inside she was nothing like her. He hadn't been completely honest with her though. It wasn't the fact that she reminded him of Kikyo that bothered him so much. It was because of what he saw in her. From the moment he had laid eyes on her he had began to feel things he had vowed never to feel again. The way her body moved when she swayed to the music, the way her lips pronounce the words of the song, the way her voice was so calming and soothing, it all stired something that had been long dead inside of him. He wasn't sure how or why. It was pretty strange, he didn't even know her. He just knew that if he let himself get to close to her it was possible that he might loose himself to her. That's just something he couldn't allow himself to do. So he had treated her cruel and tried to push her away. Yet here he was lost in those beautiful brown orbs, not even able to turn his own violet ones away. Finally he gathered his will power and looked the other way.
"Kagome, like I said before, I don't hate you. So you don't have to go all cry baby on us. I don't really see why it matters to you anyway. Just don't expect me to be all friendly and cheerful either, it's just not how I am. In case you haven't noticed I'm not much of a people person. Look, I'm sorry for being such an ass. I know I've been giving you a hard time. It's just taking me awhile to get use to you. I'll try to be a little more considerate. That's the best I can do."
"Fair enough I guess."
"Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to come to my room and work on some new stuff after dinner. We really don't have that much time and we need to get started right away." He knew it was a bad idea, but he owed it to the girl.
"Thankyou so much," Kagome jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck before she could even think about what she was doing.
Inu Yasha sat stund there for a minute before forcing the girl off of him and standing.
"Don't ever do that again."
"Oh, sorry. I got carried away." Her cheeks turned a deep crimson and she looked down at her hands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As time went on Inu Yasha and Kagome started to get along somewhat better around the others. Inu Yasha stopped yelling at her as much, and she learned to brush off most of it. The only time they ever really truely got along though was when they were working. Never once did they bicker or argue when it came to the music. They started off by going over some stuff Kagome had already written. Inu Yasha wanted to see how well the two different artist's styles would go together. He was expecting her songs to be about stupid girly junk, like teen crushes and what not. Even if the only song he'ld heard by her wasn't even close to that. He was totally blown away when he saw the truth. Her writing reminded him so much of his own. It was like they were saying the same things but in different ways. Maybe this wouldn't be as hard as he had thought it would be.
Kagome found herself looking foward to her and Inu Yasha's little writing sessions more and more. It was more like brain storming sessions, they hadn't really written anything yet. Inu Yasha had said he really liked the song she had sang at the bar and would think about using it. The only thing that bothered her was that the more and more time she spent with him like this the more she was drawn to him. She wasn't sure what she was feeling, but it was different than anything she'ld felt before. It worried her. They still didn't get along all that great any other time. They were more civil, but he was still a jerk. She had just kinda gotten use to it. When they were alone like this though, she saw a totally different side to him. She started to fear that she was falling for that side of him. The reason it scared her was because she knew he'ld never feel the same way. Besides, he was her bandmate. She wasn't suppose to be attracted to him. They were co-workers in a way. Wasn't there somekind of rule against that. It really was starting to get to her. She found herself thinking about him alot. Maybe it was just some little crush that would pass with time, just like she had told Sango. That had to be all. What girl in their right mind would fall for such a jerk like him. Yeah he could be nice when he wanted to, and maybe his looks could make anyones mouth water, but other than that he was so rude.
Kagome stood infront of the sink doing the dishes they had used at supper. Sango had cooked so Kagome got to clean, lord knows the guys couldn't do it. She would have been suprised if any of them even knew how to turn on a stove, or sink for that matter. So she stood working and humming to herself. Eventually her humming began to turn into words. She didn't even realize she was singing. Her emotions were just kind of flowing out her mouth freely.
"When you're the boy that I want,
I'll be waiting right here.
I don't know what to believe
Sew up the sore, make it facke
When you're the boy that I want,
I'll be the girl that you hate."
She never noticed the person standing behind her.
"You are the one who believed
that only half of a girl,
half you but never half me."
Her body gradually began to sway with the melody or her voice, dishes temporarily forgotten. Inu Yasha was in some sort of trance. He stood there watching, not able to keep his eyes off of her.
"I don't know what to believe.
Peel all of these scars from our way..."
She suddenly stopped, realization of what it was she was doing dawned on her. It wasn't the fact that someone could come in and catch her singing to herself, that didn't bother her. What bothered her was that someone might come in and hear WHAT she was sing about. She didn't like that idea to much.
"What are you singing?"
"Huh?!" She jumped and spun around completely startled. "Wha...what are you doing? I nearly had a heart attack, you don't just sneak up on people like that!" She stood staring at him with her hand over her heart. She was having trouble calming her speeding heart.
"Feh, I asked you a question."
"I...um...I don't know. I was just humming to myself. Why?"
"You should write it down." He turned and walked out without answering her.
Kagome almost face faulted when he turned and left. What luck, the one person on her mind just happened to be the one to catch her. Good thing he was to dense to catch on. She let out a sigh and turned back to her work. What was she going to do? She was obviously falling for him, even she couldn't deny it anymore. He inspired her romantic side, hence the mood of her music lately. She had never been one to write love songs, seeing as how she had never been in love. Yet here she was singing about feelings not returned, about longing, and about all of that other sappy crap. What was a girl to do?

Well, that's done with now. Hope you enjoyed. Please read and review, I'll love you forever.
Mitsuko Maxwell: Hmm...soul stickers...that actually sounds pretty nifty. Maybe I really will use that if you don't mind. I'm drawing all blanks here. (Not very good with naming things) I definatly need a band name though. I'm sure they wouldn't want to be called the No Names.

~Chapter Six - When You're the Boy that I Want, I'll be the Girl that You Hate.~
About a week later everyone was finally all moved in and situated. Things were getting back to normal, well as normal as they would be from now on. The walls in the living area were no longer plain, they now had posters, banners, and flyers that had once lined the walls of Miroku's garage. Even a couple of Kagome's paintings hung on the walls now, something that had taken Sango forever to talk her into. Instead of just the couches and chairs, different colored bean bags sat infront of the t.v. area. Of course the guys had hooked up their gaming consoles. They had just about everyone you could imagine between the three of them. Yes, the place was looking quite homey now.
The band was now discussing plans for their music and lyrics. They hadn't really had much time to go over anything yet with unpacking and all.

"You are the one who believed
that only half of a girl,
half you but never half me."
Her body gradually began to sway with the melody or her voice, dishes temporarily forgotten. Inu Yasha was in some sort of trance. He stood there watching, not able to keep his eyes off of her.
"I don't know what to believe.
Peel all of these scars from our way..."
She suddenly stopped, realization of what it was she was doing dawned on her. It wasn't the fact that someone could come in and catch her singing to herself, that didn't bother her. What bothered her was that someone might come in and hear WHAT she was sing about. She didn't like that idea to much.
"What are you singing?"
"Huh?!" She jumped and spun around completely startled. "Wha...what are you doing? I nearly had a heart attack, you don't just sneak up on people like that!" She stood staring at him with her hand over her heart. She was having trouble calming her speeding heart.
"Feh, I asked you a question."
"I...um...I don't know. I was just humming to myself. Why?"
"You should write it down." He turned and walked out without answering her.
Kagome almost face faulted when he turned and left. What luck, the one person on her mind just happened to be the one to catch her. Good thing he was to dense to catch on. She let out a sigh and turned back to her work. What was she going to do? She was obviously falling for him, even she couldn't deny it anymore. He inspired her romantic side, hence the mood of her music lately. She had never been one to write love songs, seeing as how she had never been in love. Yet here she was singing about feelings not returned, about longing, and about all of that other sappy crap. What was a girl to do?
