But I had to keep myself busy while I did laundry. *sigh* this ch.'s pretty pointless.

MUSIC FOR THE SOUL Chapter 6 An Old Dog, A New Trick

"Kagome." He whispered softly as he shook her gently, "Kagome, please wake up."
Kagome's eyes fluttered opened. It was still dark, but she could tell it was Inu Yasha standing next to her. "Hnnnnn?" was all she could say as she rubbed her eyes.
Inu Yasha stood and began throwing on the top of his haori, he had already put on his pants, prior to waking Kagome up. "I'm going now, I just wanted you to know that." He said as he tied his haori and bent over to pick up his sword. And as he did so his kissed her lightly and then licked her lips playfully.
She smiled back at him as she watched him sneak quietly out the door, and even though she didn't want to, she rolled out of bed and threw one a night shirt, just in case some one came into her room while she was sleeping. Then, she crawled back into bed and before she could even feel the pillow beneath her head, she was asleep.

"Kagome-san! Kagome-san!" Miroku knocked on her door at around 6 o'clock and when there was no answer walked in. "Kagome-san are you almost ready?" He asked her as she dug threw the drawers in her desk.
"Yes, I'm just trying to." She pulled out a little red silk purse with black velvet apple blossoms all over it and threw it her bag next to her, and then she stood and turned towards Miroku smiling.
'She's looking even more beautiful than normal today.' He thought as she just stared at him in her tight fitting white, long-sleeve shirt, and light color blue jeans. "Are the other's ready?" She asked, breaking his train of thought.
"Uh.Yes they are." He said as he moved out of her way of the doorway.
"Oh, I hope I didn't make you guys wait long." She smiled happily as she walked past him.
"No, not really. We had to find Inu Yasha first." He followed her down the hall and into the living room. When she got there Inu Yasha looked at her and paled. He ran towards her and sniffed her furiously then whispered, "You haven't bathed?" She didn't whisper though, "No, I woke up late and I didn't feel the need to." Inu Yasha glared at her and drug her outside as the others just watched in confusion. "There's something...strange about them today." Sango said when she was close enough to Miroku. "Stranger than normal you mean?" He said as he leaned on his staff.

"What's the big deal Inu Yasha? So what I didn't take a bath this morning, big deal." She whined as Inu Yasha fiddled with something with his back turned towards her. "The big deal is," he calmed himself and calmly dumped a bucket of water over her head, "You smell like love making. And if I can smell it this strong, I definitely know Kouga can smell it." She just stared at him angrily as the water soaked into her clothes. He realized that you could see straight through her shirt now and had trouble keeping his eyes away from her now revealed black bra.
She smiled sexily at him and walked towards him, he didn't really know whether to run, or stay and see what happens, so like always, he stayed. She leaned in against him and barely touched her tongue against neck, and then she gently grabbed his neck and pulled it down so she could whisper in his ear, "osuwari." Then she stomped back into the house and into her room, past Kouga who had been watching intently from the window.

"Quit making faces Inu Yasha." Kagome said as her and the gang walked through the mall. "Well, they keep starin' so I figure I should give 'um a reason to stare." He said as he made a face at another passer-by, making the young one cry. Kouga amazingly kept his distance and stayed as far away from Kagome as he could 'If that damn mutt doesn't make his move soon, then I'll just be forced to take her. But how can he stay so close to her with my scent all over her?' "Inu Yasha, please behave." She asked again as she turned into a store. They instinctively followed her in and stared in awe at the 'amazing' technology of her time. Kouga stopped and began inspecting the clothes on the rack and had to ask as he pulled a pleather mini skirt, "What are these materials for?" Kagome turned and looked at him and her face went blank as he pulled a pink and black lace thong out from underneath the skirt. She bolted towards him and yanked them away and threw it back on the rack, "Those aren't for men."
"Why are we here, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked as she inspected some of the clothes that Kouga was looking at. "We're shopping. If you guys are going to stay in my time for week, you have to have modern clothes." She said as she held up a skirt and shirt to Sango's body and handed them to her. "Those'll look really nice on you." Then she continued with her shopping and the boy's followed.

"How about we go home and eat?" Kagome said as she tried not to pull on In Yasha's new black button-up shirt with embroidered flames.

"But all the food here smells so good." He whined as he headed towards a Mac's Burger place.

"I have ramen at home." She said teasingly.

He stopped and looked at the burger place, than at her pleading face, then to the oddly dressed group behind her. "You guys look so stupid!" he said laughing.

Miroku was dressed in a pair of black, baggy jeans and a black and white baseball shirt. He still carried his staff and (of course) still had his wrap and beads around his kazana.

Sango had on a light green top and a light, white sweater over it, half zipped up. She also had on a pink and white sakura print long skirt with her normal sandals on and still carried her hiraikotsu on her back.

Kouga had on rather tight fitting blue jeans with a hole cut in them for his tail, and a tight black t-shirt that showed off the shape of his abdomen and chest. His old headband was replaced with a newer, navy blue and black one to match his new look and cover up his pointy ears.

"What's so funny about us? You need to look at yourself." Kouga said as he pulled on Inu Yasha's black shirt.

Inu Yasha just huffed and turned his head back towards Kagome who was now chatting with Sango, and he smiled. "Y'know, if you don't do something soon, ya might loose her, and I'm not your only competition." Kouga said as he motioned for Inu Yasha to look at the handsome young man with a gaggle of girls around him approaching Kagome. Inu Yasha growled when this male shook Kagome's hand.

"Hojou-kun? What a surprise. What are you doing here?" She smiled politely when a few familiar faces came out of the crowd that followed him.

"Kagome-chan! I see how you are; don't even say hi to your 3 best friends." A girl with her hair in pigtails said as she hugged Kagome.

"Ichi! How are you?" Kagome said as she hugged her back.

"I should be asking you the same thing! You're the talk of the school."

"Every one's surprised your even alive still." Said a girl with short black hair as she smiled sweetly at the two girls.

"Yeah, I guess your right Ni, I have been sick a lot lately, I even got a little sick this morning, but it went away after I had something to eat." Kagome said trying to put some truth to her grandfather's lies.

"Are you sure you should even be out of bed?" asked another one of her friends with long brown hair.

"San," Kagome smiled as the girl approached her, "I guess I shouldn't but I feel fine."

Inu Yasha and Kouga sat down at a nearby table and Inu Yasha adjusted his baseball cap so he could hear them and Kouga found the table interesting as he listened as well.

"Did you receive the medicine's I dropped off, Kagome-chan?" asked Hojou.

She had to lie, "Yes and they helped a lot. That's probably why I'm able to be here today." She smiled trying to pass it off, and Hojou smiled and began to stutter.

"Kagome, I was thinking, since we're both here, would you like to go see a movie?"

Sango stepped next to Kagome who was struggling for answer and asked, "What's a movie?"

"Who's this?" Ichi asked as she got closer to Sango.

"She's pretty." Added San

"Is she from around here?" asked Ni as she inspected Sango's skirt.

"She's from." Kagome stuttered again. She was never good at lying, let alone lying off the top of her head.

"Japan." Sango answered, feeling a bit uncomfortable as the girls inspected her.

"What part? You don't seem to be from around here." Asked Hojou.

"She's from. Osaka!" Kagome forced a smile as she received a weird look from Sango and Miroku, who has now decided to join in on the conversation. And with that Inu Yasha and Kouga decided to join in too.

"Kagome, I decided I want to go home and eat." He said trying to sound calm.

"I think we should go too." Kouga added as he stepped up behind Miroku.

Ichi leaned in and gave Kagome a coy smile as she whispered to her, "Is that one with the white hair the one you keep ditching Hojou for?"

"NO! Well,.It's..I." Kagome stuttered

"It's OK if it is. I can understand, he's really cute." She smiled and Kagome saw the blush cross Inu Yasha's face.

"I'm sorry Hojou, but I have to finish showing these guys around and then we have to go home and rest up." She felt Inu Yasha step closer to her as she spoke to Hojou.

"I understand, but aren't you even going to introduce us?" He said as he flashed a smile Sango's way, making her blush and Miroku growl from jealousy.

"That's Sango. She's about a year older than me, and has had a lot of family problems lately." Kagome said as Hojou reached out his hand to shake hers.

"Nice to meet you Hojou-kun." She said nicely.

"The pleasures all mine Sango-chan." He said as he kissed her hand

"And this is Miroku. He's from a family of wandering monks."

Miroku reached out to shake Hojou's hand with his right hand so that Hojou could see the curse that Miroku wasn't afraid to use.

"And this is Kouga. He's from royalty."

Hojou shook his hand as well as he asked, "Really? What type of royalty?"

Kouga tightened his grip on his hand and said, "I'm the leader of a wolf- demon pack."

"Hojou gave him a blank look and said, "That's.interesting."

"And this is Inu Yasha. He's not really a people person." She said as Hojou stuck out his hand to shake Inu Yasha's, but Inu Yasha simply looked at his hand and then at him and then walked away closer to Kagome.

"He's been alone since he was really young. He doesn't really know his manners yet." She said as she elbowed him.

"It was nice meeting you all. But I have to go or I'll be late for my movie." He turned to Kagome and stuck out his hand, "I hope you feel well enough to go back to school soon, we're beginning to miss you." He said as he looked into her eyes and smiled, but she was too busy concentrating on the two sets of growls that were coming from behind her.

END CH.6

*AMB* This ch. was pretty pointless. I was really bored and I figured that, if Kagome was going to take them to a concert, she would take them to get modern clothes. I drew an awesomely sexy pic of Inu yasha in modern his modern clothes... Yeah.. I even got a nose bleed. O'well I heart you Joanne, and Sora.you're grounded!
