Chapter 3
Romeo Auditions
"Oh no." Sango whispered.
"Shit, she's frozen right on the spot." Inu Yasha snickered. Rin smacked him over the head and glared at him, and he glared back.
"Sess, go do something!" Rin whined.
"what am I supposed to do?" Sess answered incredulously.
"I don't know!" She replied.
"This is your fault, Yash!" Sango blurted out.
"What the fuck?" Inu Yasha hissed, "how the hell is it my fault?" "you discouraged her!" "no I didn't!" "I agree with my dear Sango, this is your fault, Yash." Miroku chirped.
"Shut up, dick-wad." "Sessh, go do something!"
Kagome watched her friends bicker and not pay attention to her, or even cheer her on.
'I'll show them…' She looked down at her script. 'oh, easy.' "Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, too like the lighting, which doth cease to be ere one can say "it lightens." Sweet, good nigh. This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, my prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night. As sweet repose the rest come to thy heart as that within my breast." Kagome did some hand jesters and made her voice seem more dramatic as she read on.
"Who's auditioning for Romeo's part?" Mrs. Rodriguez called out. Sango smirked and pushed Inu Yasha up.
"you, young man" Mrs. Rodriguez pointed at Inu Yasha, "Get up here." Inu Yasha growled down at Sango, but she only gave him a grin.
"Fifty dollars." She reminded.
Inu Yasha grunted and stalked upstairs. The same assistant handed him the script and pointed out what to read.
"Knock 'em out, tiger." Ayame encouraged. Inu Yasha eyed the bubbly girl and walked beside Kagome. Both of them turned around to face each other. 'Fifty dollars, and a kiss from Kagome if she gets the part… wait, what the fuck was the last one?' Inu Yasha thought.
"O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?" Inu Yasha quoted, staring into Kagome's eyes. Kagome stared back into his eyes.
"What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?" she replied, her eyes never wavering from their stare.
"Th' exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine." Inu Yasha seemed to know the lines well with just one look.
Kagome glanced down at the script and stared back at Inu Yasha.
"I gave thee mine before thou didst request it, and yet I would it were to give again." she replied. "wouldst thou withdraw it? For what purpose, love?" He asked.
"But to be frank and give it thee again. And yet I wish but for the thing I have. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite." She paused and glanced down, and caught the smirk Inu Yasha gave her. "I hear some noise within. Dear love, adieu.- anon, good nurse.- Sweet Montague, be true." Kagome gave a look at Inu Yasha that startled him a bit. 'what the hell was that? Fuck, must be my brain going haywire, but that look she gave… it was like… a longing.' "Stay but a little; I will come again." Kagome finished, quickly averting her eyes away from Inu Yasha's. Inu Yasha glanced down at his script. "O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard, being in night, all this is but a dream, too flattering sweet to be substantial." he did some of his own little dramatic movements and emphasized on some words.
"Bravo! My, you two are quite the couple." Mrs. Rodriguez applauded. The two waited for the 'but' part, but it never came. "You two have the part, I've made my decision." Mrs. Rodriguez announced. "Um, Thank you, Mrs. Rodriguez." Kagome thanked meekly, "But what about the other people who are auditioning?" "Oh, well, you two were actually the last to audition." She stood up, "If there are anymore auditions for the part, it's closed, get out." A few grumbles went off and a few people left. "Now, that both of you have the star roles, I need to audition the other's. Bravo to both of you, congratulations." Kagome smiled, and Inu Yasha just sighed and walked off the stage.
"You owe me fifty bucks, Sango." Inu Yasha prompted up.
"That's after the play." Sango smiled. "You think I'm really going to do Romeo's part?" Inu Yasha snorted.
Sango glared at him. "Don't ruin my plan. I know you too well, and you like Kagome. It's so obvious, and you're going to do the play." "Keh, what makes you think that I like Kagome?" Inu Yasha sneered, "And you can't tell me what to do." "Fine, I bet Kouga wouldn't mind kissing Kagome a few times, he does have the hots for her." Sango replied curtly.
"Who the fuck is Kouga?" Inu Yasha snorted, "some preppy fag?" "No, someone who flirts with Kagome and she flirts back with." Sango responded and glanced over at Inu Yasha.
'Flirts back, huh? Show that asshole to flirt with Kagome…' Inu Yasha thought angrily. "Keh," Inu Yasha snorted, hiding his anger and jealousy. Sango smirked. "And the bet is still on."
The six teens lounged around Kagome's room; doing homework or doing something unproductive. Kagome was lying on her bed; jotting down notes from her text book, Sango was reading a romance novel and glaring at Miroku, who was looking at some dirty magazines, Rin was getting help on her pre-calculus homework from Sess, and Inu Yasha was playing video games on the computer. "Hey, Inu Yasha," Miroku looked up from his magazines, " you were pretty good up there." "yeah, so what?" Inu Yasha snorted.
"Well, I think it's great you got the part." Rin chirped. "I wonder what Kouga got, he was pretty good." Sango stated. 'although he was going to get into my way between these two soon-to-be-lovebirds.' she thought to herself. Kagome didn't say anything, but continued to finish her homework. "Hey, Kagome, aren't you happy Inu Yasha got the part?" Sango asked, smirking at the girl.
Kagome looked up at her. "I was actually hoping for Kouga." Rin gasped, and there was an awkward silence.
"I don't blame you," Inu Yasha started, "I actually wanted to make out with that chick, Kikyo." Rin gasped again.
"Rin, stop that, its not a soap opera." Sango said to the girl.
"You guys shut up, you two got the part, and it'll be good for an acceptance to a college." Sess grumbled. Kagome stared at Inu Yasha for a bit.
"I'm going outside." She announced and hopped of the bed and left the room.
"See, look what you did!" Sango hissed.
"She's the one that said she'd rather have Kouga!" he defended.
"She was testing you!" "How the fuck was I supposed to know?" he yelled.
"Well, for one, you don't defend by saying you want to make out with another girl!" "Go downstairs and apologize." Rin ordered as she finished jotting down her homework and kissing Sess thank you.
"No, not until she takes back what she said." Inu Yasha snorted as he crossed his arms. The two girls glared at him.
"Trust me, Inu Yasha. You should do what these girls say," Miroku began, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." "You only say that 'cause you're whipped." Inu Yasha sneered. "Go to her, NOW!" Sango yelled, glaring at Inu Yasha. That glare seemed to promise very painful things.
Inu Yasha scampered out of the room.
Inu Yasha quietly entered the kitchen and headed towards the sliding door. He stopped in his tracks at what he saw.
Kagome was outside, as she had said, and was sitting on the bench, the sun's light and warmth gave her a glow, and to Inu Yasha, she looked like a goddess. But he expression on her face was of sadness. She was looking down and didn't seem to notice him, and if she did, he couldn't tell. He crept towards the sliding down, watching her as she sat there and seemed to be in deep thinking. He paused as he heard her mumble something and a solitary tear ran down her cheek.
"Stupid me, I get to emotional." She grumbled to herself as she wiped it away. She stood up and turned towards the kitchen sliding door, and paused. Inu Yasha didn't move, he just stood there.
"How long were you standing there?" Kagome asked as she walked towards him. Inu yasha stared at her for awhile. "Why were you crying?" "I wasn't crying," Kagome snapped, "How long were you there?" "Long enough to know you were crying." "I was not crying!" She denied.
"Were you crying because of me?" Kagome was startled by the question, then became angry. "You think I'd cry because of you? You're such a jerk!" She growled.
"I was going to apologize, but since you're being such a bitch about it, forget it." He replied as he turned away.
"You were going to say sorry?" The anger was fading from her voice.
"Keh. Yeah." He snorted.
There was an awkward silence.
"I'm sorry." Inu Yasha muttered.
He didn't get a reply, so he turned to face her, only to find her gone.
"What the hell, stupid girl." He stormed into the living room, and found her watching T.V.
"You were taking to long to apologize, so I left." She said as she flipped through the channels.
"Who said I was going to apologize?" he yelled.
"I heard you from here say sorry like 3 minutes ago." Kagom replied.
Inu Yasha's eye twitched. "You're impossible, you're such a bitch!" "You're an egocentric ass!" She yelled back and stood up, and walked to him. "You're a flirting whore." Kagome eyes narrowed, and started to fill with tears. Then she slapped him.
"You… inconsiderate jerk!" she yelled and ran out the front door.
Inu Yasha stayed on the spot, then rubbed his cheek. She slapped him unbelievably hard.
"Go get her you jerk! This is your second time screwing up!" Sango hissed from the stairs.
"You're such a clueless jerk!" Rin snapped.
"Men are so stupid!" Sango growled.
"You guys were watching?" Inu Yasha yelled.
"Go get her and apologize the right way!" Sango yelled.
"You're getting the women angry with us!" Miroku whined, "Go get Kagome and apologize!" "I can't believe I'm related to a dumb-ass." Sess grumbled.
"Shut up!" Inu Yasha yelled as he headed out the door, in an attempt to apologize to Kagome for the second time.
a/n: Gee, Inu Yasha is a real jerk. But we all love him. review review, thank you!
"Oh no." Sango whispered.
"Shit, she's frozen right on the spot." Inu Yasha snickered. Rin smacked him over the head and glared at him, and he glared back.
"Sess, go do something!" Rin whined.
"what am I supposed to do?" Sess answered incredulously.
"I don't know!" She replied.
"This is your fault, Yash!" Sango blurted out.
"What the fuck?" Inu Yasha hissed, "how the hell is it my fault?" "you discouraged her!" "no I didn't!" "I agree with my dear Sango, this is your fault, Yash." Miroku chirped.
