Chapter 6: The festival and the appearance of Kouga

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Hey Sango, what do you think i should wear to the festival?" Kagome asked

" Beats me, i was going to ask you the same question" Sango said

Kagome took some clothes from her closet and went to the bathroom to change. A while after she came back out.

" Okay well i gotta go meet Mir....i mean Inu Yasha and ask him something" Kagome said walking towards the door

" Okay, but when you're done, come back cuz i need to tell you something" Sango said

" yeah sure, whatever" kagome said and walked out of the door

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome walked up to Miroku and Inu yasha's dorm and knocked on the door. A guy she didn't know opened the door.

" Um.....Hi" Kagome said looking into the dorm, It was Miroku's dorm alright but...

" You are looking for...." The boy asked staring at her. it really freaked Kagome out.

" Miroku And Inu yasha" kagome answered " Can you tell me where they are?"

" Who cares?" The guy said. His hair was black and had it in a ponytail. ( Hint Hint ) He took Kagome's hand and kissed it

" My name is Kouga" he said " And yours...."

" Kagome" kagome said and pulled her hand away

" What a beautiful name" Kouga said

" Kouga, are you getting ready to leave yet?" Inu Yasha yelled and walked towards the door

" K...Kagome" Inu Yasha said and pushed Kouga out the door. He oulled Kagome inside and slammed the door in Kouga's face. Kagome walked in and looked around for Miroku.

" Where's Miroku?" Kagome asked

" He's in the bathroom" Inu yasha said. He sat down on the bed.

" Why?" Inu Yasha asked

" Can you keep a secret?" Kagome asked sweetly

" Sure" Inu Yasha said and stood up

Kagome walked over to Inu Yasha but tripped over something on the floor. She accidentally pushed Inu Yasha onto the bed and landed on top of him. Their faces were centimetres apart.

" Am i interupting you guys?" Miroku said coming out of the bathroom

Kagome got off Inu yasha and walked over to Miroku.

" Okay irst of all, that was an accident" Kagome said. Miroku had a 'sure....' look on his face " And 2nd of all, i came here to...."

" hey Dog turd!, open up!" Kouga shouted from outside the door " i need to see my woman!!"

" N-Nani?" Kagome said

" You're what?" Inu yasha and Miroku said in unison

Kagome stormed to the and opened it.

" Kouga..." Kagome said " Please do NOT call me that EVER again, It is very rude to call someone your woman when you didn't even ask them" Kagome took a deep breath and slammed the door

~ Silence ~

" you know what Miroku, never mind, i'll get back to my dorm now, see you guys later" kagome said and walked out of the door

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ At the festival ~

Kagome looked at all the stalls around. Everything was so beautiful and colorfu;l. She was having the time of her life, well, her and Sango that was. She couldn't say the same for the boys.

" How more boring can this get?" Inu yasha groaned

" Well you guys asked us here" Sango said

Kagome saw Miroku looking at her and immediatly knew what he meant.

" hey Inu yasha!" kagome said " Why don't we go over there, it looks so pretty!!!"

Before he could speak Kagome pulled him away from Miroku and Sango

" What the?" Inu yasha said

" i think Miroku and Sango need time alone" Kagome said

" Oi..i'm so tired" Inu yasha said and sat down on a bench

Kagome ignored him and saw a concert going on in the distance. Inu yasha saw it to and stood up.

" What's going on over there?" Inu yasha said. But he noticed he was talking to air, because Kagome had ran off.

" hey wait for me!!" Inu yasha said and ran after her

When he finally found Kagome she was standing at the back of the crowd. The Announcer came onto the stage.

" Thank you everyone who has come today, we will be starting our singing contest, if you would like to join, please sign up at out table to the right of the stage" The Announcer said.

Kagome looked beside her expecting to find Inu yasha, but she saw him at the table where the sign up sheet for he contest was. Kagome walked towards him and had a grin on her face.

" Hey Inu, i never knew that you liked to si......" Kagome looked at the sign up sheet and gasped

" INU YASHA!!" Kagome yelled. Everyone turned their attention to her.

~~Somewhere far away~~

" INU YASHA!!" A girl screamed. Miroku and Sango stopped what they were doing and looked up.

" uh oh..." they both said at the same time and headed for the stage

~ Back with Inu yasha and Kagome ~

" uh heh heh..." Inu yasha said " Nothing to see here people" He yelled. Everyone turned back to the stage.

" Geez Kagome, you got a great voice, and i'm sure you'll win" Inu yasha said

" But i can't...." Kagome said " I'm too shy...."

Inu Yasha looked at her. " Listen, it's going to be fine, i bet you'll win for sure"

Kagome sighed " Oh, alright"

Inu yasha smiled " Good, cuz i can't erase your name from the sign-up sheet anyways"

Kagome glared at him.

They made their way back towards the crowd and saw Miroku and Sango.

" Hey guys" kagome said

" We heard you from where we were" Miroku and Sango said in unison.

Kagome sweat dropped

The Announcer came back onto the stage and tapped the mic, which made a very sqeaky sound.

" Okay, thank you to all the people who signed up, now the prize for 1st place is..." 2 men came onto the stage and opened a box.

" A jewel called the Shikon no tama , and purple prayer beads" ( heh heh ('^-^) oh well can't blame me for trying)

" You can win those things Kagome" Inu yasha said " You'll do fine "

Kagome nodded

" Alright first up is Kagome Higurashi" The Announcer said

kagome froze and turned to Inu yasha. " What?! i'm first?!"

Inu Yasha rubbed the back of his head. " heh heh, knock em dead kagome"

Kagome gave him a glare and walked up to the stage. The music started and Kagome took a breath.

~ Come'on Kagome, stay calm.....~

I'll always remember

It was late afternoon

It lasted forever

And ended too soon

You were all by yourself

Staring up at a dark gray sky

I was changed

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside ( deep inside )

It was then that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september

And I've seen you before (and you were)

You were always the cold one

But i was never that sure

You were all by yourself

Staring at a dark gray sky

I was changed

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was then that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you

i wanted to make it go away

I wanted to know you

I wanted to make your everything, all right....

I'll always remember...

It was late afternoon...

In places no one would find...

In places no one would find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was then that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

Kagome let out a huge sigh and bowed. The audience went wild and Kagome walked down the stage. Sango ran over to her and hugged her.

" Kagome you were awesome!!!" SAngo said

Kagome blushed " Thanks Sango, i thought i was going to get a heart attack"

Inu Yasha smiled " I knew you could do it Kagome, that's why i signed you up"

Kagome smiled and looked at her friends.
