Chapter 26 was just another pointless chapter...bleh.
==========================================================================
Chapter 27
The lights were dim and people were moving swiftly and silently back stage. Kagome looked around at the people attending the talent show. There were several unique performers. Elegant ballerinas, clowns, jugglers, pianists, and many singers.
"Are you nervous?" Sango asked as she helped fix Kagome's hair.
"A little bit.." Kagome said silently.
"Well...don't be...you'll do perfect." Sango smiled at Kagome as they looked at her in the mirror.
"Thanks, Sango....what's with the new style?" Kagome smiled as she picked at Sango's huge black shirt.
"This? I thought I'd just try something new..."
"And baggy pants?" Kagome raised an eye brow.
"You know how it is....big and airy!" Sango forced a weak smile.
"That's an awfully tight ponytail you have there. And most of it will be covered with this hat." Kagome said as she pointed to the hat on top of Sango's head.
"Eh, it's just for tonight....trust me." Sango mumbled her last two words.
"Good...if I hadn't known you were you.. .I would've been thinking you were a guy." Kagome laughed.
"Really?!" Sango's voice lifted up with joy.
Kagome looked at her best friend confused.
"I...uhh mean... really? That.....sucks." Sango recovered. She looked away for a while and took a peep out at the audience.
"Have you taken a look out yet? There has got to be at least half the town in here!"
"Half?"
"Yeah! This show surely must be amazing."
"Yeah...while other's are having fun... I have my whole heart to pour out.." Kagome sighed.
"Aye...don't feel so gloomy...and it beats feeling loads of guilt knowing that you didn't try for Inuyasha's forgiveness...this is all for YOU." Sango winked.
"Oh really? Last time I checked this whole thing was for YOU." Kagome said slyly.
Sango rolled her eyes and laughed.
"It's about to start...I'm going to go take my seat.. Break a leg out there, Kags!" Sango waved to Kagome and exited.
Kagome sat near her mirror and heard the master of ceremonies introduce the first performer. She was going to be the second to the last one to perform. To Kagome's surprise, she had thought that she was the last one to rehearse. Apparently, there was also a late auditioner.
Kagome marveled at the ballerina's elegance and how she balanced perfectly on her toes. She laughed so hard as the clowns acted a scene from a movie. Kagome pitied the juggler, for he was juggling with bowling balls and had mistakenly dropped one of his foot. Each one of the singers dazzled Kagome and for a while she felt that she had no way of competing with their beautiful voices.
Finally, it was her turn to go up.
'And next is... Kagome Higurashi! She will be singing a special song for you folks tonight. So, let's give her a round of applause!' the Master of Ceremonies gestured her to come out.
Kagome shyly steps onto the stage and looked out. Sango was right, it seemed like half the town was there. There were several people she did not know present and they all clapped for her. Kagome blushed and smiled. She looked out at the audience, and frowned when she caught no sight of Sango nor Miroku. Her heart nearly sank as she didn't see another person...
....Inuyasha.
'Maybe they are here, but I'm not looking hard enough..' Kagome nodded to herself as she looked around the audience and took the microphone.
"Hello Everyone..." she began. The people quickly stopped chattering and all eyes were fixed on Kagome.
"This song really means a lot to me...and I'd like to dedicate it to this one special person. I made one of the biggest mistakes that I could ever make...and this is sort of like my plea of apology. This is for you...you know who you are.."
The audience began to whisper to each other after Kagome's introduction. Kagome nodded to the man that handled the music playing and her song began.
Kagome looked out at the audience once more, but found no Sango, Miroku, or Inuyasha.
"Feels like a fire that burns in my heart
Every single moment that we spend apart
I need you around for every day to start
I haven't left you alone.."
The audience listened to Kagome's harmonic voice and their ears craved for more.
"There's something about you, I stare in your eyes
And everything I'm looking for I seem to find
All this time away is killing me inside
I need your love in my life..."
"Kagome sounds wonderful.." Sango whispered to Miroku.
"She does, doesn't she?" he whispered back properly.
"I feel so terrible that she doesn't see us watching her in the audience..."
"Shh.. It's okay.. She'll understand." Miroku smiled as he hugged Sango.
"I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall in you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again.."
Kagome opened her eyes to see the audience fixed on her. She looked around and still found no Sango, Miroku, or Inuyasha.
Tears almost developed, but she held them back as her song continued.
"We fought in a battle, nobody won
And now we face a mountain to be overcome
You can't turn away, the past is said and done
I need us to carry on.."
"Sango! Sango!" Miroku whispered as softly as he could.
"What?! Can't you see that I'm watching!" Sango rolled her eyes to face him.
"How do you put these things on!?" Miroku asked as he held up a bra.
"I can't believe you actually brought one." Sango said dully as she hooked it onto Miroku.
"Hey! I gotta do what I gotta do!" Miroku said as he grabbed a pair of rolled up socks and placed them into the cups.
"I can't believe I'm dating you." Sango sighed as she handed Miroku his halter top.
"Look at you! With some man clothes on!" he pointed out.
"Excuse me, at least I'm still wearing girl's underwear! I still have some feminine clothing under this big heap!"
"Well, I'm more into my character...and you try wearing boxers under a skirt! Sheesh! Nobody understands pure beauty these days." Miroku said as he flipped the hair of the wig onto his head.
Sango rolled her eyes and turned back to listen to Kagome.
"You'll try everything you never thought would work before
When you live, when you love, and you give them your all
You can always give up some more
Baby nothing means anything unless you're here to share with me
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
Cause you're always there in my dreams..."
At last it was the final ending of the song and the chorus was to be sung only 2 more times.
"I wanna fall with you again..." Kagome finished. She opened her eyes to reveal two tears and she wiped them quickly.
The crowd was silent for a few minutes, but suddenly clapped vigorously. There were whistling and shouting heard.
'GO KAGOME!'
'YOU SING BEAUTIFULLY!'
'I LOVE YOU, KAGOME!'
Kagome blushed as she heard all of the comments. She looked out at the audience, but still there was no sign of her friends.
"Well, well, well...looks like the crowd has said it all, Kagome. You were astonishing!" the Master of Ceremonies said as he took back the microphone.
Kagome took a bow, and walked back backstage.
'I can't believe they missed it...they missed it.' Kagome thought sadly.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, you should all know who this next performer is. He scoops ice cream by day..but performs by night...he is...."
'I might understand why Sango and Miroku weren't there.. They must've been doing..couple business...but what hurts the most was that....'
"....INUYASHA!" the Master of Ceremonies introduced and Kagome's thoughts were cut off. She instantly turned to the side to watch the performance.
It was true! There Inuyasha was with dark grey baggy sweats on and a matching jacket. On his head was a grey and black hat covering his silver hair. Inuyasha's hands were in his pocket and he looked down.
Kagome walked closer to the side of the stage to get a better look.
Suddenly, a techno song began to play. Inuyasha raised his head and began dancing. Kagome gasped as she watched his newly developed moves. Suddenly, the music stopped and the lights dimmed onto Inuyasha. He was leaning on one knee, and the music began again.
A new person had approached the stage. It looked like a girl. She was standing on the opposite far corner of the stage and was wearing a tank top with a skirt. The girl's face was covered by her hair and she stood on the side.
The spotlight redirected onto Inuyasha and he had taken off his hat and jacket. Under his jacket, there was a baggy white shirt underneath.
The girl danced towards Inuyasha, but Inuyasha kept on dancing backwards. He was trying to avoid the girl, but she kept coming back. Suddenly, Inuyasha exited the stage and one more person entered the stage.
It looked like it was another boy, and he began dancing with the mysterious girl. They danced and soon separated each other. The boy exited off stage and Inuyasha re-entered. He now was wearing baggy black jeans with a baggy red top.
The girl walked towards Inuyasha, but instead of avoiding her, he walked back towards her. All of a sudden the lyrics of the song began to play.
'How can you see into my eyes, like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb, without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home..'
The lyrics began and then girl went ahead of Inuyasha and did a special move. Inuyasha acted out a confused expression on his face and tried the move. He stumbled on the floor, but the girl picked him up. The song stopped, and then resumed with another one.
Kagome gasped as she listend to the beat....
...it was the Electric Slide.
The girl began moving her feet and Inuyasha followed. Soon, the girl and Inuyasha were both dancing the Electric Slide together.
Inuyasha hugged the girl closely, and Kagome widened her eyes.
'Another girl....wait! Another....girl!?' she thought to herself as she looked closely.
One of the girls' arms were covered with a white bandana. The girl also had a muscular physique and was almost the same height as Inuyasha.
Suddenly, the girl left and Inuyasha was left to dance solo on his own on the stage once more. The lights dimmed as the mysterious girl came back on stage with another outfit. It looked just like the one that Kagome had been wearing at the Club opening.
'THAT'S MY OUTFIT!' Kagome yelled in her head.
Inuyasha danced with the girl and then suddenly the song changed once more. It had changed to 'Slow Jam' by Usher ft. Monica.
Inuyasha and the girl became hesitant, but they began to slow dance. The audience laughed as the two kept a far distance apart, but continued watching.
The girl reached into her shirt and pulled out a round sock. The girl gasped all of a sudden and turned away. She placed the sock back into her shirt. Her hair almost came out as well. Inuyasha tried to hold back his laughter.
'A sock? My outfit? Hair?...' Kagome thought and thought to herself.
The girl finally took out a large stuffed toy of a heart. She went up to Inuyasha and held it out to him. Inuyasha backed away and ran back stage once more. The girl looked at the heart and danced away her sorrows.
'.....MIROKU?!' Kagome thought surprisingly.
Suddenly, Sango came out onto stage. She was wearing girl clothes and her hair was still in the tight pony tail. She danced towards the girl (Miroku) and hugged her.
Sango pulled out a white wig and imitated herself to be Inuyasha. The audience laughed at the humorous scene and continued watching.
After Sango danced her way back off stage, Miroku stood back on the stage while holding the toy heart.
The lights darkened and the girl was gone. Inuyasha now stood on the stage wearing a tux suit and held a stuffed toy heart as well. He kept walking from side to side becoming hesitant.
Then the girl-Miroku came back hiding the heart around her back. Inuyasha held out his toy heart to her, but she danced her way away.
Inuyasha looked down. The lyrics to the background song were now clear.
'I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
But baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest..'
The lights dimmed once again, and Inuyasha still stood in the center of the stage in the tux holding the heart. The music began to play and it had a soft, romantic tone. Kagome stared and waited to see what would happen next.
Drops of sweat came over Inuyasha's face as he panted heavily. Nobody else entered the stage, and Inuyasha began to dance one more. Suddenly, Kagome felt a hard push of 4 hands behind her and she found herself on stage.
At the same time she stepped on, the music stopped as Inuyasha slid down on one knee holding up the toy heart to her.
Kagome hadn't moved from her spot, she just stared at Inuyasha intently.
The crowd blinked at the ending and stood up screaming and whistling. Everybody clapped and clapped at the brilliant performance.
Kagome turned around to look back, and she saw Sango wearing her regular clothes right next to Miroku who was wearing her 'Club-Opening' outfit without the wig.
Kagome let out a laugh as tears began to run down her face. She looked down at Inuyasha and he still held up the heart to her.
She shook her head as her tears began to fall and pounced into his arms. Kagome wrapped her arms around him and wept. She pulled her head back to look at him and smiled.
Kagome looked to the side and found the toy heart. She picked it up and looked at him as she nodded. Inuyasha smiled widely as he showed his fangs. Kagome smiled back as tears ran down her face.
The two looked at each other. Inuyasha still was bent down on one knee, and Kagome stood on both of her knees as her arms were around his neck.
The audience became silent as they watched the two.
"Well? Are they going to kiss of what?!" Miroku's loud, and eager whisper broke the silence of the whole room.
There was a sudden thud, and a certain 'shh' which seemed to come from Sango's voice.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked back stage and saw that Miroku had a huge bump on his head and Sango a vein on her forehead.
They laughed and resumed facing each other.
"I love you, Kagome." Inuyasha whispered to her as he looked into her eyes.
"...and I love you too, Inuyasha." Kagome replied back.
Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him and placed his gentle lips onto hers. Kagome closed her eyes as she kissed Inuyasha back.
The audience clapped as the couple ended their performance.
"That's so...beautiful." Sango sniffed as Kagome and Inuyasha bowed. They both blushed a shade of dark red.
Miroku put his arm around her waist and pulled Sango closer.
"Love is a beautiful thing, Sango...love is a beautiful thing."
