A Battle of the Bands:
Chapter Two:
Kagome awoke the next morning with the phone ringing.
"I'm coming... I'm coming" She mumbled as she stumbled out of bed and found the phone. It had been hidden under several papers covered with song lyrics.
She hadn't gone to bed until late. She wanted more sleep.
"Hello?" She said into the phone, after she found it.
"Is this Kagome Higurashi?" The woman on the other end asked, perkily. Some one had had there coffee this morning.
"Yes..." She said.
"This is Lin Slite. I'm one of the people who've been working on organizing the concert."
"Oh... I remember you now. We talked to you last week. Hi..." Kagome said.
"Hi... Well.. I was told to call and inform you of the other bands that will be preforming at the concert."
"Okay..." Kagome said when she paused.
"As I'm sure you know, SMIK will be there. Someone let that slip to the public. It was supposed to be a suprise. Besides you two groups, there's going to be a bunch of nobodies. None of the other bands playing have even been played on the radio. I think only one of them even has an album made. So no worries."
"Alright... So how will this all be set up then?"
"All of the small band's will go first. We'll close the curtains, set up both of your's stuff. You'll each play a song, back and forth like. Does that make sense to you?" Her voice was really starting to get annoying.
"Alright... So we play a song then they play one and we just keep doing that until we're done.... right?"
"Right... Well... It might not go in that order exactly."
"Okay..."
"Make sure you tell the rest of the gang... I have to call SMIK now. Wish me luck."
"Good luck..."
"Bye."
"See you later." ~Or not...~ Kagome thought as she hung up the phone.
She'd tell the gang later. While they were at the mall, picking out stage clothes.
"Errgghh!!!" She exclaimed to Sango later at the mall. "I hate SMIK so much!!!" She had just told them the news and none of them liked it.
"You hate them so much... But none of _us_ have ever met them." Shippo said.
"Ignoreing him, Kagome continued talking. "We're to be the grande finale, or something, I guess...."
"Who plays last?" Sango asked.
"I don't know..."
They had all already bought their outfits, and were now heading to the food court.
"Have any of you ever even seen pictures of them?" Shippo asked. "I haven't."
"I don't know.... I read somewhere that the guys don't like cameras.... something about soul stealers I guess...." Sango said. None of the girls of Vertigo liked cameras either. Shippo, however, didn't mind them.
"Sango! Look!" Kagome said, grabbing her arm.
"What?!" she asked, suprised by the sudden movement.
"That guy! Over there!" she said pointing across the walkway by a shop on the other side. A guy with short (ish) black hair tied up in a pony tail was standing there.
Sango glanced over quickly, not wanting to stare. "Yeah... So? He's cute."
"He's staring at you!" Kagome insisted, not looking at him anymore.
Sango looked over at himand smiled. "So... Maybe he knows who we are."
"Doubtful Sango." Kikyo said.
"Right... So... I'm being stared at... Who cares. Where are we going...?"
"I bet we look really silly, just standing in the middle of the path like this..." Shippo said. They all laughed.
"We... are going to the food court." Kagome said.
"Alrighty then... Let's go..." Sango said.
"Rin? Rin?! Hello??? Anyone home???" Shippo said. The group had started to walk off, but Rin was still standing there.
"Hmmm? What? Oh! Sorry... I got.... distracted..." Rin said, not looking at Shippo.
Kagome followed her gaze. "Ooh... More hotties..." She said. Besides the first guy, there was now two guys with long silvery white hair, and one with spikey brown hair.
"Awww... Come on... I'm hungry." Shippo whinned.
"Right..." Sango said, regaining her senses. Food court here we come!"
Sango and Shippo had to practically drag Rin and Kagome away. Kikyo walked a few feet in front of them and kept repeating, 'I don't know those people...I don't know those people...I don't know those people...' , over and over again.
They sat at 'their table'. The one they always sat at when they went to the mall by the windows. They were talking about completely random things and avoiding the subject of the guys they had seen earlier. They weren't, however, avoiding the subject of music.
"I think we should sing Backstage... I mean... it fits doesn't it?" Sango said.
"Tainted love..." Rin suggested. Kagome got out a piece of paper and wrote down the song names as they were said.
"Take me away..." Kagome added herself.
"Powerless?" Kikyo said.
"Cinderella" Sango said.
"Let me be..." Kikyo said. Sango and Kikyo were the main song writers... They loved to write them. So they'd end up suggesting the most.
"A girl's mind..."
"I must not chase the boy's"
"I take it you girls like Vertigo... You just listed a ton of their songs..." A guy, the one with the pony tail from earlier, said from behind Sango.
" Ummm... you could say we're fans..." Sango said.
"Are you guys going to the concert?" Kagome asked. The other guys were now there too.
"Yeah..." One of the white haired to said. "But not to see Vertigo."
"Ahh... SMIK fans..." Rin said.
"You could say that..." The one with the pony tail said.
"Well maybe we'll see you there..." Sango said.
"Hopefully." The pony tailed dude flirted.
"I'm Sesshomaru, that lech is Miroku, this is my brother Inuyasha, and that's Koga." Sesshomaru said, pointing to each person in turn.
"We need to go. We have stuff to do... We'll look for you at the concert." Koga said, smiling at Kagome.
"Well... They'll sure be suprised when the see us up on the stage..." Shippo said, after he was sure they were to far away to hear him.
Everyone laughed. They finnished eating, coppied the list of songs so they each had a copy, and then went back to Rin's place to practice.
