(A/N) GOMENASAI!!! HONTONI-GOMENASAI!!! (SORRY!!! REALLY SORRY!!!) I am so sorry everyone, I am a horrible authoress. I haven't updated in months b/c of school and some other things I've had to deal with. I wouldn't have written the story so soon if it weren't for the fact that it was niggling in the back of my mind. Well, here is the long-awaited Ch.2 of Grease Is The Word. Get ready for some good Japanese songs heading your way (I shall try to provide English translations of the songs if possible) and I thank everyone for the positive comments, I appreciated them a lot. As I have mentioned to –Moonlight Blossom-, I am willing and happy to assist anyone who needs the meaning of a Japanese name, or needs help figuring out a Japanese name to use for their characters according to meaning. Anyhoo, I will stop talking and get on with it. Oh and just to mention, um...yes ppl just breaking out into song just seems weird...but go with me on this, we're pretending that this is a natural occurance.
DISCLAIMER: BY NO MEANS DO I OWN INUYASHA, THE MOVIE GREASE, OR ANY SONGS I MAY USE. As if I really needed to tell you that. Besides, as a poor college student, all you'd get by suing me is a big fat roll of TP.
RATING: PG-13, for obvious reasons
WARNING: I appreciate comments; if you flame me, fine. But also realize that if you do, I will consider you an idiot in the first place for doing so, and I will probably mock you at the beginning of each new chapter.
Sesshomaru: I am NOT singing.
Mitsuki: Awww...come on...it'll be fun, I promise.
Inuyasha: Hey, if I have to do it, it's not fair if you don't Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru: That's exactly it – life ISN'T fair...and I can promise YOU I will break your legs if you make me sing.
Mitsuki: Hooookay, got it.
(Flashback) – duh, Flashback

Chapter 2: Leaving on a Jet Plane
"Hey, how long do you want me to wait or drive around 'til y'want me to pick you up?"
Kagome bent down to look inside the car to find her friend from overseas, more specifically Hawaii, was grinning at her and waggling her eyebrows.
"Honestly! All I'm doing is saying goodbye!"
"Uh-huh...suuuuuure. And unicorns exist," Naomi replied. Well, Naomi wasn't her first name, but it was her Japanese middle name, so she insisted on being called that.
"Hey...what are you trying to insinuate? And unicorns did exist...just not anymore. But since you asked, is an hour okay?"
"No problem. I'll leave you and lover-boy alone for an hour – "
"Hey!"
"- although since his relatives are going to be there, you can't really do much, can you?"
"Very funny."
"Okey dokey, well I'll be hanging out at Marukai until then. If anything, call my cell."
"Thanks!"
"No problem...you'll be okay?"
"Of course I'll be fine! Why wouldn't I be?"
"Ooookay. Laters!"
"Bye!" And with that, Kagome shut the door and walked off towards the JAL check-in counters. 'I wonder if he's here yet,' she wondered.
"Kagome!" yelled a voice from behind.
"Inuyasha! I was wondering where you were."
"Just arrived, of course," Inuyasha said, hugging her tightly.
"Ahem," someone cleared their throat.
"Oh sorry...um, Kagome, this is my uncle Hideaki, my aunty Sumire, and their son, my cousin Shippo. Everyone, this is Kagome."
Pleasantries were exchanged, and then Shippo tugged on Kagome's hand, "Kagome-nechan? Are you Inuyasha's girlfriend?"
Hideaki and Sumire choked, Kagome blushed furiously, while Inuyasha spluttered, "Shut-up Shippo!"
"Hey! Watch the mouth, Inuyasha," Sumire reprimanded.
"Speaking of which, Kagome, how do you know Inuyasha? From school?" Hideaki asked.
"Um, no. Actually I just met him during this summer break."
"I am surprised you managed to meet someone, more or less a girl without that mouth of yours ruining it," a monotone voice interrupting them said.
"Sesshomaru! There you are!" Sumire said.
"That's Sesshomaru, my estranged half-brother," Inuyasha whispered to Kagome, "we're not exactly close."
"And not that I ever want to," Sesshomaru shot back. 'What good hearing' Kagome thought.
"Hey Inuyasha, we better start checking in, that line is starting to look pretty long," Hideaki voiced.
"By the way, how did you get here?" Inuyasha asked, while starting to head towards the end of the line.
"Oh! Naomi dropped me off," Kagome replied.
"Who?"
"Naomi...," she trailed off seeing the look of confusion on his face.
"Who?" he asked again.
"Naomi, my friend from here...I stayed with her over the break and you met her at the picnic. Remember?"
"Oh yeah, that chick. She's cool. You're lucky she can speak Japanese."
"A lot of people speak it here though...well okay, not everyone can speak fluently like her."
"My point exactly."
"Oh! We forgot to exchange e-mail addresses," Kagome suddenly exclaimed, "do you have any paper?"
"Umm...I have some old receipts," Inuyasha replied.
"Hahaha, this is kinda sad...ah, but it'll do," Kagome said, laughing.
"Japan Airlines flight 366 to Tokyo will start begin boarding shortly at gate 9. Please have your ticket and I.D. ready. Once again, Japan Airlines flight 366 to Tokyo will begin boarding shortly at gate 9."
"Well, looks like we better start heading towards the gate," Hideaki said.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled, "Don't forget to e-mail me when you get back, okay?"
"Of course. First thing when I get home, that's what I'll do." Inuyasha replied grinning.
"Promise you won't forget me?" Kagome sniffed
"You? Never. Don't start crying, we'll keep in touch and get together every week, right?"
"Ahahaha. You're right of course, but still...it's gonna be a lonesome couple of days without you, y'know," Kagome laughed.
"You know this situation right now reminds me of that movie Armageddon," Inuyasha said, starting to grin wickedly.
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside the door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
Kagome grinned and started the next line.
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn',
The Taxi's waitin', he's blown his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.
People started to stare at them, but Inuyasha and Kagome didn't really care, they were having fun, and both started to bust out the chorus.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe, I hate to go.
Inuyasha started off again, this time, getting the bright idea that he should do moves to the song as well, which made Kagome laugh like crazy.
There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you
Ev'ry song I sing I sing for you.
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe, I hate to go.
Kagome and Inuyasha turned to look at his relatives (with the exception of Sesshomaru, probably to save himself the embarrassment, he has disappeared somewhere.) who had joined in with them. Kagome finished off the last verse herself, not doing moves, but instead did the unthinkable, and did sign-language to Inuyasha while she was singing.
Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Kagome was stopped by Inuyasha who embraced her and gave her a firm kiss on the lips. She blushed as there were hoots from the crowd, but she continued the rest while in Inuyasha's arms.
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come,
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I won't have to say.
They were surprised a second time when everyone else, including the airport employees joined in on the last chorus.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe, I hate to go.
There was a tremendous applause, plus many hoots and laughter of joy from the crowd as Kagome was swung around in Inuyasha's arms, happiness filling up her heart. And for Inuyasha, he was able to grasp something that he hadn't felt in the longest time – love.

"Reviews are like oxygen...well, to authors/authoresses anyway, we can't live without 'em."I know, I know...not the best chapter written by man (or woman), I'm not very impressed with myself either, but hey. Also, they sang this song in English...we'll just say Inuyasha and Kagome's english is pretty darn good. Oooh...you have no idea how much I anticipate the replacement song of 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' I will be using. I used Hawaii mostly b/c it is a common vacationing ground of native Japanese people. Also, yes, quite a lot of people can speak a little Japanese in Hawaii, so it isn't too bad for the Japanese tourists.
Marukai – a supermarket store where there's wholesale Japan products, and really anything else that is a Japanese product. Me and my friends live to go there.
JAL – Japan Airlines
And no, Naomi is not my middle name. Any other questions, you can always either e-mail me or, muahahaha, COMMENT and REVIEW.
