Making the Band

"Time for breakfast," yawned Inu-yasha walking out the door.

Dressed in his school uniform, the junior walked into the kitchen to see Sessomaru cooking at the stove. Inu-yasha sniffed the fragrance in the air and concluded he was making sausage and eggs. He didn't want any of his food, especially after what he did to him this morning. Sessomaru looked over to his brother and then back at the breakfast.

"Well, what is wrong with you?" Asked Sessomaru tossing an egg up and back unto the pan.

" Humph, you know what and why! Sessomaru, nobody told you to come in and beat me to death this morning," stated Inu-yasha with growl.

"Inu-yasha, you sleep like a dead log. That's why I hit you with a broom. Next time wake up when I tell you," commented the older brother.

"I can wake myself up and if I'm late for school, then let me! I don't care!" retorted Inu-yasha grabbing an apple.

"Heh..suit yourself." Concluded Sessomaru taking a seat in the living room with his plate in hand.

The two brothers quietly ate their food not wanting to begin conversations. It was like this most mornings. They wouldn't talk unless to argue or demand to know answer from one another. Still, today wasn't as bad as the other days.

Inu-yasha threw his finished fruits into the trash and grabbed his briefcase on the table. He knew his friends would be to walk with him to school. HE didn't want to get in the car with Sessomaru to school because he would have to see Naraku's car right beside his in the car lot. A sudden twinge in his eye appeared as he thought about the senior.

Without warning, knocking from the door then interrupted his thoughts. He walked over and opened the door to see the smiling Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Venus. He was very glad to see the group, as he was already ready to leave his apartment and his brother.

"Ohayo, Inu-yasha," greeted Kagome holding Miroku's hand.

"Ready to get going, so you might be able to learn something just once at school?" Joked Miroku with a stupid grin.

"Ha, I'll learn something whenever you stop being a pervert," insulted Inu- yasha placing his shoes on.

"Which means in a very long time, I guess," added Sango showing an innocent face.

The group except Miroku laughed leaving the short hair boy embarrassed. Kagome saw his face and felt sympathetic to his situation. He leaned up to him and placed a warm kiss on him cheek making him feel better. Venus looked inside the apartment and saw how nice it was. Her family once lived in an apartment, but never thought that the two young brothers would live in such a pleasant and nice place. As soon as she looked into the living room, he saw Sessomaru eating.

"Ugh, what a sight to see in the morning. I'm sympathize for you, Inu- yasha," stated Venus as she placed her hand on the boy.

Sessomaru hopped up while giving Venus a wonderful display of his middle finger. Venus just smiled and returned one back happily. Inu-yasha couldn't help but to smirk at their exchanges of gestures.

"Let's go, guys. We don't to be late," spoke Sango trying to keep a serious face.

Inu-yasha closed the door as the group began to walk on the sidewalk. It has been a couple of weeks since the beginning of school. Venus got situated into the group as they all were growing closer and yet they never were together after school.

"So, what will you guy be doing after school?" Asked Miroku looking over to Kagome first.

"Miroku, you know I have softball practice," commented Kagome wrapping his arms around his waist.

" And I have color guard practice all this week," spoke Sango with a long sigh.

"Plus I've got practice with the dance team now," added Venus looking up to Miroku.

"Oh, yeah. That's right. You DID make the dance team last week," replied Inu-yasha.

"Of course, I have talent and they need it!" smiled Venus placing her hands on her hip with an attitude.

Inu-yasha looked down at the brunette and just gave a simple laugh. As the group walked into the school, they all split to go to their classes. Inu- yasha and Miroku walked into his Chemistry class together and took their seats immediately. A tall, attractive middle- age man wrote on the marker board with a blue marker in his hand. He had raven, shoulder length hair tied in a ponytail and chestnut eyes. He wore a long white medical trench coat with a white shirt and khaki pants. He finished writing on the board and looked at his class.

"Okay, kiddos, you have a test on Friday, so take the notes on the board so you'll be prepared," stated the teachers.

"Mr. Misawa, I didn't bring any of my other notes!" declared a brown hair girl.

"Don't worry. Just take the notes and then we'll be doing lab until the test," stated Mr. Misawa walking to the labs.

The class wrote their notes and couple by couple, went back and started on theirs lab work. Miroku and Inu-yasha sat on their stools reading the instructions to one another. It was too boring for Inu-yasha. He couldn't keep his mind on something like this too long. He decided to bring up a conversation to his lab buddy, so he wouldn't accidentally fall asleep in the class.

"I can't believe everyone is busy after school," spoke Inu-yasha leaning on his elbow on the counter.

"Yes, well, it's not our fault that the after school's activities aren't very interesting in our taste," replied Miroku looking over to a female group.

"Hey, idiot, pay attention here. At least look like you're doing something than looking at girls, you two-timer," spat out The long hair boy slapping the back of his friend's head.

"Shut up! Anyway, maybe we should make up a club or something of our own, so we won't be bored with one another," replied the short hair boy adding ingredients into a beaker.

"Well, maybe...but how about instead of a club, we start a band?" Asked Inu- yasha pointing toward a half-filled beaker.

"You know, I think that's an excellent idea, Inu-yasha. You surprise me sometimes," shot Miroku stirring in the item in the beaker with the mixed ingredients.

"I know, you should listen to me more often."

Without noticing their mistakes, smoke began to rise out of the beaker. The two boys looked down and rose from their seat. Student looked over to the duo's counter and began to gasp/ or laugh in surprise. Miroku walked over to Mr. Misawa and pointed to his counter. The handsome teacher's eyes grew big as a fire formed at the counter.

"Okay, everyone, head outside, I'll get the fire extinguisher," yelled Mr. Misawa motioning the students to go outside.

They all did what they were told while the teacher took a hold of the fire extinguisher and began to pray Inu-yasha's and Miroku's work. The two whistled and looked away trying to seem as if it wasn't there fault. Boy, they must have thought their peers and students were dumb or something.

At lunch, the group ate while discussing Miroku' and Inu-yasha's new plan. The girls looked at one another understanding their reasons. It was hard to do thing fun when there's only two people.

"A band, huh? Well, do you guys already know how to play instruments," Asked Venus placing a piece of chicken into her mouth.

"Of course we do! We both took guitar lessons for a couple of years," answered Inu-yasha munching on a piece of beef.

"Yeah, Inu-yasha, but we don't need just guitarist. We need a drummer and maybe a female vocalist and electric pianist," stated Miroku drinking a cup of tea.

"Well, how about making posters about it and place them over the school?" Insisted Venus placing the rest of her food up.

"Nah, then all the people who are beginners will come and just waste our time," replied Inu-yasha finishing his bowl of beef.

"Well, I think I can ask some of the band people to try-out. Maybe some of our percussionist, but remember their practices go from Mondays and Wednesdays and then Fridays is game, but this coming Friday is an open slot," stated Sango wiping her face with a napkin.

"That's a great idea, Sango. No wonder you're the smart one in this group," cheered Kagome placing a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Yes, a superb idea, Sango," agreed Miroku with a friendly smile.

"Yeah, well, it's no big," replied Sango looking away from Miroku.

Miroku pout his lip while Venus and Kagome shared a chuckle. Inu-yasha was busy day dreaming about the band. He saw himself as the lead guitarist with Miroku on Bass. He playing his guitar like there was no tomorrow. He rocking the house while a group of girls cheered and squealed with excitement. He gave a little wink to hem as the girls swoon and fainted. He wanted his dream to come true and he was going to make it happen. Soon enough Friday came and it was time for the try-outs. Inu-yasha and company were excited, especially Inu-yasha. The group set up a table for the judges ( Inu-yasha, Miroku, and Kagome). Around 10 people came to the try-outs. It was * interesting * how these people would think marching band instrument would go nicely into a punk, pop band. People from Sousa players to clarinets to even French horns came to play. Venus and Sango couldn't help but to laugh at the faces Inu-yasha and Miroku were making.

"Sorry, that's not what we need. Thank you for trying out," commented Miroku in a kind voice to the participants.

They all gave a long sigh or whine "Aw, man" as they turned and walked away. Inu-yasha slammed his head against the table in frustration. He didn't know what to do. No body came through with the try-out the way he wanted them to. Nobody even had the right instrument to be in his band.

"Sango, I thought you would get people who wanted to be in a band," growled the long raven hair boy looking over to her.

"Hey, don't get mad at me. Those guys probably thought it was a Quartet thing or something," chirped Sango placing her hands up.

"Hey, don't worry, Inu-yasha, we just have to think about something else to do on our time without the girls," sighed Miroku as he slumped his shoulders.

"Hey, is this the band try-out place?" Asked a squeaky voice.

The group looked as saw a boy and a girl standing side by side. The boy had messy red hair in a small ponytail with blue eyes. He wore a fitted white shirt and long khaki shorts with sandals. The girl had long raven hair with a small ponytail on her head and chestnut eyes. She wore a baby blue shirt with a knee length jean skirt and sandals. The girl took the boy's arm as he just showed a friendly smug smile.

"So, you're here to try-out, huh? What instruments this time? Flute and a trumpet!" spoke Inu-yasha as he slammed his head unto the table once more.

"No way, this a punk band, right? Hi, I'm Shippo Wasabi and this is my girl friend, Rin Miki," replied the orange hair boy raising his hand to himself then the girl next to him.

"Oh, yeah, Shippo's awesome in percussion. He's a freshmen and he's already making the other upperclassmen look like a joke in his section," giggled Sango snapping her fingers.

"I want to be your drummer!' Shouted Shippo as he demonstrated his skills in the air.

"..And I like to play the electric piano and sing," voiced Rin as she stepped from behind Shippo.

"Rin's a little shy," stated Shippo while smiling towards his girlfriend.

"Well, let's hear what you got," commanded Sango.

They walked out and received their equipment. They set their instruments up then tuned till their pitches were just right. Shippo twirled his drumsticks in his hand and began a beat. The group began to bop their heads to the beat as Rin began to play some jazzy melody as she sang a sweet upbeat song. It was too good to be true. These two had to be in. They were the ones and the group knew it.

"You can stop now, you guys are in the band!" stated Inu-yasha showing a wide grin.

"Yes, your talents are just what we've been looking for," replied Miroku walking over to the duo.

"Of course, we're the best!" shouted Shippo with a drum roll and a clash of the cymbals.

"Great, now Inu-yasha and Miroku have a band, but can you name it?" Asked Venus jumping up from her seat.

"How about Inu-yasha and the Punkers!" answered Inu-yasha with a smug smile.

"I rather die and get my corpse pushed off a bridge than be called that," remarked the orange hair drummer pinching his nose in disgust.

"Hey, shut up, Freshie, I'm the leader of this band and so what I say goes," growled Inu-yasha as he rose from his seat.

"Hey, Inu-yasha, I'm just as much as the leader as you are!' stated Miroku eyeing his friend's posture.

"I brought up this idea, so I should be the leader!" argued the long raven hair boy flicking his finger off to his friend.

By that time, Miroku stood up and began to push Inu-yasha. He knew they were both equally partners and he knew he should be treated the same way. He had the right to do and say as much as Inu-yasha did. Inu-yasha gained his balance and walked closer to Miroku. They locked their eyes on one another and began send ice glares. This didn't look good to the girls.

"Hey, come on, guys, relax" spoke up Kagome taking a hold of Miroku's arm and hand.

"Yeah, I'm mean we freshmen are acting better than you two losers," laughed Shippo walking over to the group.

"Who asked you, kid!" spat Inu-yasha poking Shippo in the chest.

"Hey, it's not my fault such a stupid guy like you was picked to be the leader. It seems you might not have a band before you have it!" shot back Shippo pointing at the angry junior.

"Brats on Campus," spoke Rin turning her electric piano off.

"What was that?" Asked Venus looking over to the freshmen girl.

"I think we should be name Brats on Campus. I mean, if you two fill best with the name," restated Rin taking Shippo's arm.

Everyone looked at the younger girl and smiled. The name was perfect and they all knew that. It wasn't just because it sounded cool, but as Rin observed, she probably thought it up because the behavior they were showing.

"What a good idea, Rin. It's perfect!" cheered Kagome smiling at Rin.

"Yep, that's my Rin. She just so smart," commented Shippo with a small kiss on her cheek.

"Heh, I guess we already know who the smart one is in the relationship. I guess he got stuck with being the dumb ass," murmured Inu-yasha as he turned away from the freshmen.

"What was that?" Asked Shippo arching his eyebrow.

"Oh, nothing at all," replied Inu-yasha shrugging his shoulders.

"That's settle then, oh, and Inu-yasha, it seems you and Miroku should just give it up and be partners," commented Venus placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Why's that? I began this band!" whined Inu-yasha.

"Inu-yasha, come on, it's a team thing, but Miroku deserves it, even I have to say it," confessed Sango crossing her arms.

"Thanks, Sango," praised Miroku giving a friendly smile.

"Heh, I'm just stating the facts, that's all!" spoke Sango turning away from them.

"Yay! So Brats on Campus is now created!" shouted Kagome happily.

"We should celebrate!" announced Venus tugging on Inu-yasha's arm.

"Yeah, let's go to Wacdonald!" stated the long raven hair boy.

"I must agree. Come along, my sweet," second the short hair junior taking his girlfriend's hand and leaving out the garage.

"Come on, Sango, let's go! You two freshies!" shouted Venus tugging the older girl's sleeve.

One by one the group began to hop out the garage and walked to the Wacdonald's to celebrate their discovery of the band. Hopefully, In Inu- yasha's mind, nothing really troublesome will happen. Hopefully, that it.

A/n: I hope you enjoyed that chappy. I have been really busy since school is coming soon again. Ugh. Damn, makes me so mad. Oh, well. Review!!!!
