Why Me?!
Last Time
The doorbell rang and they stopped the game. Kagome won; 36 to 34. After doing a little victory dance and laughing at the pouting Sango in the corner Kagome went to answer the door, knowing Rin would be to absorbed in her game to even hear the doorbell. Opening the door she smiled.
"Hey Ay-... YOU!"
Chapter 2 – Field Of Innocence -
"What are you doing here?!" Kagome exclaimed. She had been expecting Ayame, not this half-twit. Leaning against the doorway she crossed her arms and glared.
"What do you mean, what am I doing here? What are you doing here?" InuYasha yelled. Kagome sighed at his stupidity and laughed at him.
"I live here!" She scowled at him. Stepping back she grabbed the door and got ready to slam it in his face, but her manager's voice stopped her.
"Now, now Kagome. I told you I was coming to talk to you about your next concert, and it just so happens your next concert has something to do with InuYasha and his band. Why don't you let us in and I'll tell you in the living room?" Ayame walked up to the porch with the rest of Demon's View behind her. Sighing Kagome moved aside and waved for them to come in, closing the door after Sesshoumaru came in. Following Ayame to her living room she saw Sango and Rin on the floor on their stomachs, both holding a game controller. She walked over to them and grabbed the remote out of Rin's hand and pressed pause, taking Sango's and setting them on the floor next to the TV.
"Ayame's here... and she brought Demon's View too." She watched as both they're eyes widened and they looked behind them, seeing the guests already seated on the couch. Scrambling the both stood up and sat on either end of the other couch... Ayame stood facing both couches as she began to speak.
"Does anyone want something to drink?" Kagome mumbled, trying to be polite.
"I'll have a Pepsi." InuYasha said, making himself comfortable on the couch.
"I'll have an iced tea, thank you." Sesshoumaru said in a nonchalant voice.
"I'll have a Pepsi as well, please." Miroku asked.
"I'll just have water." Kouga said, giving her a wink.
"I'll have a Mt. Dew, Kagome!" Rin said.
"Rin! You live here! Get it yourself!" Kagome whined, walking to the kitchen to get the drinks. Rin followed her, grumbling about having to make an unnecessary trip. It turned out it was necessary, as Kagome didn't have enough hands to carry all the drinks herself.
"I know you are all wondering why we have to bands here to talk about the next concert, in the Miko's house, so let me explain. I got together with the Demons' manager and we decided that for the next concert we will have both groups come together and form one big group. What could be better then bringing the two most popular bands together? That way we can attract more people to come to the concert. To doe this, we feel you all need to get to know each other, so we decided that Demon's View will move in here until the next concert two months from now." There was a moment's silence before everyone freaked. Well, everyone except for Rin and Sesshoumaru.
"What the hell are you talking about?! I don't want that jerk living here!"
"I'm not doing it! I don't want to see that ugly bitch's face more then I have to!"
"I can't live here! I have girlfriend, you know!"
"He's a pervert! I don't want to live with a pervert that can't keep his hands to himself!"
"Why Sango I'm crushed! Though I wouldn't mind living in a house full of beautiful women!"
"SHUT UP HOUSHI!" He backed away with his hands in the air defending himself when all four of the fighting people went against him.
"If everyone would just SHUT UP!" Ayame yelled louder then the group of screaming people, who in turn quieted instantly. They all sat down, having jumped up from the news. "Now, you all should know that you do not have a choice in this matter. You WILL do this. I expect the Demon's to be moved in fully by the end of the week." Kagome moaned and put her face in her hands, wondering why the gods hated her all of a sudden. Hearing Ayame walk out the door she got up went upstairs to her room, not giving the people in the living room another glance. Sitting on her bed she grabbed the closest pillow and stuffed her face into it. Taking a deep breath she screamed as loud as she could into the pillow. When she was done she walked into her bathroom to make sire none of her make-up had smudged or anything. Hearing her door open and Rin call her name she hollered back, telling them where she was.
"The guys went to their mansion to pack their stuff. This really bites." Sango said, having entered Kagome's room right after Rin. She sat down on the toilet and groaned. "We have to live with houshi." Kagome grunted and Rin laughed.
"I don't really see what all the fuss is about! I know I won't mind have Sesshoumaru here for two months." Kagome and Sango stared at her.
"You have got to be kidding us, Rin. There could be nothing worse then having that asshole InuYasha live with us." Kagome said, shocked. Rin shrugged and pulled herself up so she was sitting on the marble counter, between the two sinks. Sighing Kagome looked into the mirror and groaned again. "I don't know how I'm going to survive the next two months." Sango agreed with her and they all stayed there, deep in thought.
"Hey, Kagome?" At Kagome's questioning glance Sango continued. "Can we see the song you finished last night?" Kagome smiled and nodded, following them down the stairs to the music room. She handed the sheet of lyrics to Sango and Rin looked over her shoulder, both of them silently reading. As they got farther along smiles began to form and continued to get bigger. When they were both finished they squealed slightly.
"Can we start working on the music now, Kagome? Can we, can we?" kagome laughed at Sango's insistence and after being hugged tightly by both women they set to work. Sango went to her drums and Rin and Kagome went to their guitars. Every now and then they would all stop and put what they had together. Every time they were happy with the result. About three hours later they finished. Decided to try it out they all put the music on their stands. Plugging the guitars into the amplifiers they started.
I still remember the
world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were
clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An
uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing
in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the
sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where
has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to
go back to
Believing in everything
[Latin hymn]
Where
has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Away
I
want to go back to
Believing in everything
Away
Where
has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Away
I
want to go back to
Believing in everything
I still
remember..
Kagome had gotten so entranced in the song she didn't hear when the guys arrived, nor when they entered they music room. She jumped when she heard the whistling and cheering of the guys. Or of Miroku and Kouga, Sesshoumaru still had his blank face on and InuYasha just "Keh'd". Kagome blushed and put down her guitar, turning of the amps and walking towards the guys.
"Do you have your stuff?" They all nodded and she motioned for them to follow her upstairs. That led them to a long hallway, with doors on either side. The first two rooms on either side were vacant. Miroku took the one on the left side of the hall and InuYasha took the one on the right. Throwing their bags into the rooms they rejoined the people in the hallway. The next two doors where Sango's and Kagome's. Sango's on the left, Kagome's on the right. The next door on the left was Rin's, the right one was vacant. The last two doors were both empty and Sesshoumaru and Kouga took those. Sesshoumaru on the left and Kouga on the right.
That finished the girls left the guys to unpack as they went to talk to their chef about what to cook for dinner. Then, after having a snack they returned to the living room. Rin returned to her game.
"Sango...?" Kagome called sweetly as Sango started to sit down next to Rin on the floor.
"Yes, Kagome?" Kagome grinned at her.
"Do you remember a little bet that you lost before Ayame got here?" Sango groaned and started pleading with her, but Kagome wouldn't budge. "Your not allowed to use the TV." After a while Sango stormed off to the library to read, nearly pushing over a bewildered Miroku.
"What was all that about, Kagome?" Kagome picked up the extra controller and began to play.
"She's not allowed to use the TV." Miroku sat down behind the girls on the couch to watch them play.
"An why is that?" Kagome took a little while to answer, as she was concentrating on the game.
"She lost the bet just before you got here the first time. She's not allowed to use the TV for a week." She paused the game and looked at him. "Are you done unpacking already?" She let Rin start a one-player game as she got up and sat by Miroku.
"Yes. I had only packed my clothes, seeing as how this isn't permanent. The other guys brought more then clothes." Kagome nodded and they both watched Rin play the game for a while.
Few Days Later Souta's Birthday
Kagome and Sango were using their cell phones to call the people on the guest list for Souta's party to make sure they were coming. Rin was taping streamers to the wall of the living room and balloons to the tables. She had set up a table with junk food on it for everyone to chow down on, and another table full of presents. Some of the presents were too big to fit on the table, so they sat on the ground next to it. Kagome had picked up the cake. It was an ice cream cake, chocolate with mint ice cream in the middle.
Souta was currently watching Spider-Man 2 for the second time with their mom. He had no clue what was in store for him that night. Ending the conversation with the last person on her list Kagome sighed.
"He better appreciate this, the little twerp." Sango laughed and hung up her phone, attaching it to her hip hugger jeans in the process.
"Of course he will. He won't know what to do with himself he'll be so happy." Kagome nodded and looked around the room.
"Nice work, Rin. He's going to love it." She got off of the ladder she had been using to tape streamers and balloons to the ceiling and smiled.
"Thanks, Kagome. So, everyone coming?" Kagome and Sango nodded, sitting down on the couch in front of the 68" TV Kagome had bought her family a while back. "Umm... We have more guests coming, you guys, I took the liberty of inviting the Demon's." She let it sink in and waited for the explosion the followed shortly after.
"WHAT?!" Both Kagome and Sango yelled at the same time. Kagome jumped up out of her seat and Sango groaned, holding her head in her hands.
"Why did you do that, Rin? They're probably going to bring alcohol and get Souta drunk!" Kagome asked her friend, slowly advancing on her and Rin backed up against the wall.
"Well, I just thought it could be another present for Souta, you know? I know how big of a fan he is of theirs." Kagome reached Rin and pointed a finger in her face.
"You had better un-invite them, or I swear-"She was cut off by the ringing of the doorbell.
"Too late! They're already here. I asked them to come early." Kagome and Sango looked at her, horrified.
"YOU WHAT?!" Rin hurried out of the room to answer the door as Kagome sat back down on the couch, leaning against the back and closing her eyes. Hearing footsteps she pointedly ignored the people walking into the room as she let out an inaudible sigh. Feeling the couch sink next to her she started when she heard a voice.
"Tired already, bitch?" Kagome growled and threw herself into his personal space.
"My name is Kagome! God damn, get it right!" She sat back down and crossed her arms under her breasts, watching the clock tick away and waiting for the time for the guests to arrive. "You didn't bring any alcohol, did you? I don't want my 10 year old brother getting drunk." She looked sideways at InuYasha as he scowled.
"What the hell do you take me for?! I'm not stupid!" He mimicked her and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Could've fooled me." She heard him growl at her statement and got up, walking up the stairs to her old room. Sitting down on her old bed she sat there and thought of all that had happened in the past few weeks. She was now living with another band, a band in which the lead singer was a very hot jerk and the drummer was a total lech. Not only that, the second guitarist gave her the creeps and one looked like he had no emotion. Hearing a knock at her open door she looked to see InuYasha leaning against the post, looking at her.
"What do you want?" She asked irritably, wondering how long he had been standing there.
"The guests are arriving, and your mom is bringing the kid home in about and hour." He stood up straight and walked into the room, looking around. Kagome watched him like a hawk, not entirely trusting him. Her stopped at a picture on her desk. She knew the picture well; it was of her and her dad when she was about six years old. They were standing in front of the old well house with her on his shoulders. Her dad was looking up at her and she was waving to the camera. They both were smiling like there was no tomorrow.
"Is this your dad?" She walked up to him and slid the picture so that it faced down.
"Yeah." Walking to her window she looked out at the well house, which could be clearly seen from where she was standing.
"What happened to him?" She grabbed the windowsill and squeezed, not wanting to remember that just now.
"He died. I don't want to talk about it." She walked past him, out into the hallway and down the stairs. Putting on a smile she greeted the little kids warmly. After a while all the guest were there and all they had to do was wait for her mom to call and say they were coming home. In code, of course. When Kagome's cell rang she answered with an unusual greetings.
"Peter Pipers Pizza. How may I help you?" All the guest laughed slightly. Her mom had come up with the pizza thing, saying she would tell Souta that she was going to order a pizza in the car so it was there when they got home. All Kagome had to do was play along.
"Yes, I'd like a large, pepperoni pizza and a large Pepsi." Kagome looked around at the 10 to 15 guests and gave them a thumb up.
"Is that all?" At the confirmation from her mother she told her the price and hung up. Motioning for everyone to hide, she quickly told them that they would be there in about 5 minutes. She turned out the lights and quickly got into her hiding spot next to Sango and Rin behind the couch. It was complete silence until the heard the door open and close. They heard Souta's voice and got ready to jump up.
"Why is it so dark in here?" They all heard two pairs of footsteps walk into the living room and Kagome's mom turned on the light.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone jumped up and yelled, from the 9 and 10 year olds to the members of each band. The look on Souta's face was priceless. His jaw hung loose and his eyes were wide. Kagome walked up to him and snapped a picture, the flash getting him out of his stupor. He hugged her around the neck, squeezing as hard as he could.
"Thank you, Kagome-nee-chan!" Kagome struggled to breath as her little brother squeezed the life out of her.
"Souta-can't breathe!" Her let go with an apology and looked around the room, his eyes widening even more as he caught sight of the Demon's.
"Oh, my, GOD!" Kagome gave him a weird look and laughed at how much he sounded like a girl. He ignored her and ran straight to InuYasha. "I love you guys! Can I have your autographs?" They all chuckled and gave him pieces of paper, each with a rather long autograph on it.
"Hey, Souta! Why don't we have some cake and sing Happy Birthday, then you can open your presents!" Souta ran to the table with the cake and Kagome lit all the candles. Souta closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them and blew as hard as he could to blow out all the candles. He almost succeeded except for one, in which Kagome, who was standing behind him at the time, leaned over and blew it out. Kagome's mom handed out the cake.
While they were all happily eating their cake at the table InuYasha begun swinging his legs and kicked the person in front of him, which happened to be Kagome. She hissed and kicked him back, harder then her had kicked her. Growling he picked up a little of his cake- and threw it right in her face. She sat there shocked as he howled in laughter, tipping back his chair with his knee against the table and hold his stomach. She scowling and grabbed a handful of cake in her hand, but he didn't see her because of the tears in his eyes from laughing so hard.
The cake hit him right in the chest, causing him to lose his balance and fall over backwards with the chair. Landing with a thud he cursed. Standing up he grinned evily and grabbed a handful of his cake. He threw it and Kagome ducked underneath the table.
The flying cake went straight over her and hit the birthday boy as he was walking to the trashcan. Thus, he started the biggest food fight any of them had ever been in. Afterwards the kids and the rest of the band members washed up in the hose in the backyard, while Kagome washed up in the sink in the kitchen as InuYasha used the downstairs bathroom.
A boy had walked into the kitchen dripping, getting the floor wet before Kagome's mom made him go back outside. Telling her mom she would clean it up Kagome wrung her hair out in the sink.
"Yo, wench, you throw like a girl." Kagome glanced at InuYasha and rolled her eyes.
"Yo, dog boy, I am a girl." She heard him snort from the entry to the kitchen.
"Could've fooled me." She scowled and marched across the kitchen, intending to bop him in the head, but forgetting the wet spot in the middle of the floor from the kid. She slid and screamed in surprise, closing her eyes and she waited for the landing. Instead strong arms encircled her around the waist and caught her, bringing her back up to the very firm chest of InuYasha. As reflex she rested her hands on his chest as they looked each other in the eye, him not letting go and she not trying to get away.
"Th-thank you." She stuttered, peering into his fathomless amber eyes. Hearing her speak caused him to snap out of it ad he let go, stepping back a few paces.
"Could you be any clumsier?" Kagome let her arms fall as she yelled at him.
"Well if you hadn't gotten me mad I wouldn't have fallen, now would I!" She screamed, turning around and, after making sure to walk around the puddle, got a rag and started cleaning it up. She was surprised when InuYasha got down on his knees and started helping her.
"Don't blame this on me, it's not my fault." She snorted and kept working, not wanting him to quit helping her.
::::::
Later on, after Souta had opened his presents and all the kids were dry they brought to party to a wrap. All the band members helped clean up while Souta screamed in joy over all his new stuff. He had loved everything the girls had given him, giving them each hugs and a huge 'Thank you.'. They all went home around 2 in the morning. The girls went to their rooms to go to sleep as did the guys. Kagome's insomnia left her wide awake, so instead she went down to the music room. She lightly played heir new song with her guitar. She jumped when to door opened and someone spoke.
"What are you doing still awake?"
Thank you for all the reviews. I'm sorry for taking so long to update, but today was the first day of school and... So, who do you think is talking to Kagome? Review me and try to guess who it is! I also want AT LEAST 10 more reviews before I'm going to update, ok?
