*Sigh* Alas I do not own Inuyasha or any of the other characters and songs
I use in this fic.
'LA' is a thought
"LA" Is speaking Now with the fun stuff out of the way on with the story!
Ch 1 Memories of a Song
'Ahhh, this is the life!' Kagome thought to herself as she relaxed in the tub. 'I better enjoy this before I go back to the feudal era. Then I have to worry about a peeping Monk all the time. At least its finally summer break.' Kagome was positive her grandfather must have put some kind of spell on the principal so that she could actually get into high school with her friends. With all her time traveling who had time for studying? *sigh* 'I better get going. Inuyasha will be here any minute to drag me back.' She pulled the plug and watched as the water quickly drained out. As she was getting out she heard a knock on the front door. "Great he's here already." Kagome thought a bit miffed that her peaceful day was about to come to an abrupt halt.
"I'll get it!" She heard Souta yell from the hall as he bounded down the stairs.
She paused when she didn't hear Souta's normal "Hi Inuyasha!" being exclaimed. Maybe it wasn't him after all.
"Kagome its for you!" Souta exclaimed. 'But it can't be Inuyasha.Oh no.what if it was Hojo? If Inuyasha came now and found Hojo waiting then she would be dealing with a seriously pissed Hanyou.' "Great." She dressed quickly and ran down the stairs only to stop dead in her tracks.
"Hey there little girl.well not so little anymore. You've grown up since I last saw you."
*****~~~~~~~******Back in Feudal Japan*******~~~~~~~~~*********
Inuyasha was pacing in front of Kaede's hut.
"Would you relax Inuyasha? She'll be here any minute now." Inuyasha spun to face the little fix demon that dared to talk to him like that.
"Why you."
"Shippou is right Inuyasha. You should just relax."
"Monk in case you haven't noticed we don't have time for this! Naraku has most of the shards and we need to find the last ones before he gets to them! And for that we need Kagome!" With that he took off toward the well.
"He does realize how many sits he's going to get for this right?" Sango asked
"Lets just pray that Kagome is in a good mood." Miroku answered.
*******~~~~~~~~~~~~Back in Kagome's time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~********
"Uncle Rei!" Kagome exclaimed as she hugged her uncle. "What are you doing here?"
"Umm, actually I have come to ask you a favor." He asked with his eyes to the floor.
"Sure what's up?" She replied cheerfully.
"Everyone down at the studio wants to do a special concert in Ayumi's memory."
"Uncle Rei that's a wonderful idea! She would really have loved that." She added the last part almost in a whisper. "But what's the favor?"
"We want you to perform all her songs." He said looking her straight in the eye.
"What?" Kagome suddenly felt faint.
~~~~~~~~~~~************Inuyasha's Time******************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Stupid girl. Never comes back on time. But if I go after her she'll sit me into next week for being so pushy. I can never win!' Inuyasha paced in front of the well.
******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kagome's Time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********
Kagome slowly made her way to the well lost deep in thought. 'I'll never be able to do this. Performing was Ayumi's thing, not hers! I get stage fright! But I told uncle Rei I would do it. Besides Ayumi deserves it. She worked so hard.' Tears were pooling in her eyes as she jumped into the well. She quickly wiped them away for she knew that there would be a very pissed off Hanyou awaiting her on the other side of the well.
"Bout time you showed up! Your over an hour late!"
"Not now Inuyasha. I can't deal with your yelling right now." That stunned him to silence. He was prepared for her to fight back like she always did. They would argue and he would be sat and they would start looking for the jewel.
"What are you sick or something? What's with you today?" He finally replied in his normal arrogant tone. She spun around to face him.
"Leave me alone!" She yelled so loud that Inuyasha had to flatten his now ringing ears. She turned to walk away close to tears once again. Inuyasha picked up on that.
"Hey don't cry!" 'Damn, I hate it when she cry's!'
"SIT!"
*Smash* Inuyasha did a face plant to the ground
She kept walking toward the village. She was instantly greeted by an overjoyed Shippou who lept happily into her arms.
"Your back!"
"Yep. Inuyasha didn't hurt you did he?" Why he always picked on the poor kid she never knew.
"Nope! Sango protected me!"
"It was pretty hard to keep Inuyasha from squashing him." Sango joked. "How are you Kagome?"
"Uhh.ok I guess."
"So, how many sits did you give him?" Miroku joined the group.
"Just one. I left before he could get up."
"He'll never learn." Miroku said as he slipped his hand to Sango's butt.
*SMACK* "Neither will a certain lecherous Monk!"
"Let's go already!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked toward the group. A small red mark still on his forehead from where he had impacted with the ground.
The group got their things together and took off. Kagome lagging noticeably behind everyone else.
'I know I can pull this off. I know her routines by heart. Granted I haven't done any of them in 2 years. Or sang anything in 2 years for that matter. Maybe I really can't do it! What if I make a fool of myself? I coulden't live with that! This is Ayumi's memory were dealing with! I'm doomed! Maybe I can back out. But that would break Uncle Rei's heart.'
"Do you think everything's alright with Kagome?" Miroku whispered to Sango.
"It doesn't look like it. I've never seen her so lost in thought before. I'll try and talk to her tonight. When were away from Inuyasha and his rudness."
"I heard that Sango!"
"Well its true! Your mean and arrogant and I still don't see how Kagome can put up with you for even 1 minute!" *humph* With that she fell back into step with Kagome. Inuyasha just growled in response.
