OmegaNihon was the name of InuYasha's band. He and
Kagome sang. Kouga and Miroku played electric guitars.
Nobunaga played the bass guitar. Kagome also played the
violin, as did Sango.
"This is so exciting," Sango said energetically, "I've always had this dream of performing for people."
"You have?" Kagome asked. This was the first she had heard of this so-called dream.
"I have lots of dreams that you don't know about," Sango smiled. "Most of which involve Miroku."
(One day, in the near future, he will be the one who does the housework.)
"Okay, I'm ready to go!" Shippou called out from somewhere in the background. He had been invited for a sleep over at Kanna's. She was teaching him how to play the keyboard, and he was getting rather good. Good enough that maybe he could.
"Say," Kagome stopped him as he dashed for the door with his sleeping gear, "You're getting pretty good with that keyboard."
Shippou blushed. "Thanks, Kagome."
"Would you like to be in our band?"
Shippou's eyes lit up. "Really?" he exclaimed excitedly. Kagome nodded. He ran to her, jumped up in her arms and gave her a big hug. Two vocalists, three guitarists, a drummer and now a keyboardist. Their band was coming along quite nicely, despite what Kikyou thought. She still didn't think it was possible, but they were proving her wrong every minute.
(Now remember, InuYasha, to practice real hard every day so that you may one day be as good as us. But you'd have to practice really, really hard for that to happen.)
Kikyou had no idea that InuYasha would be able to get a band together. He proved her wrong, which infuriated her. But she would enjoy having the competition.
"What are you think about?" Suikotsu asked. "You haven't said a word all evening."
Kikyou and Suikotsu were on one of their secret dates that only they knew about. [Well, technically Bankotsu knew as well. And he wasn't really all that good at keeping secrets. So now Renkotsu, Mukotsu and Jakotsu knew as well. Naraku, on the other hand, was a little slow.]
"Well?"
"Oh," Kikyou said apologetically, "I've been thinking about." She couldn't tell him that she was thinking about InuYasha. "I've been thinking about the band. The competition is coming up soon. Do you think we're ready?"
Suikotsu nodded, reaching out for Kikyou's hand to hold it. "We're fine," he assured. "And I can't see anything happening that will change that." He smiled at her. She reciprocated.
Meanwhile, InuYasha was giving Sesshoumaru the news of the new OmegaNihon. "So," said his older brother with a straight face, "You are forming a band. Isn't that cute."
"Funny," InuYasha said sarcastically. "Don't tell me you want in."
"Well." Sesshoumaru thought, InuYasha started to laugh. "And what is so funny?"
"You can't play anything!" InuYasha chuckled. But, little did he know that Sesshoumaru could play an instrument. He led InuYasha to a darkly lit room. Right there in the middle was the coolest looking piano InuYasha had ever seen. It was a grand piano, blue plating with a transparent lid. The inside cords were a bright white color. Sesshoumaru was a pianist.
"I had no idea." InuYasha said, not taking his eyes off the piano. Sesshoumaru took his seat and began to play the introduction to X Japan's Kurenai.
"How could you," Sesshoumaru smiled, still playing. "There is much you do not know about me."
"Oh really? Like what?"
"That is for me to know and for you to find out." He switched from Kurenai to the piano solo of Art of Life by the same band. He was pretty good, too.
"Like X, huh?" InuYasha smiled, Sesshoumaru nodded. "Say. how would like to be part of my band?"
Sesshoumaru stopped playing. "Me? A part of your band?"
"Look," InuYasha began, "If you don't want to then-"
"I accept."
OmegaNihon was now complete. Now it was time for InuYasha to rub Kikyou's nose in it. He dashed to her place to tell her the good news.
Her house wasn't as cozy as Kagura's, but it still had that family quality.
(Yah, if your family is the Addams family.)
InuYasha knocked on the door and it was answered by Lurch, err, Mukotsu.
"Oh," he hissed, "A visitor. Come right in, doggy. Would you like a treat?"
InuYasha glared at him. "Actually I've come to talk to Kikyou."
Mukotsu smiled. "Hate to break this to ya, but she's out on a date with Suikotsu."
InuYasha looked directly at Mukotsu's ugly face. This was the first he had heard about Kikyou's love life after him, and with Suikotsu no less. But it was over between him and her. She should be happy. If she wanted to be with. Suikotsu, then-
"They should be home anytime now," Mukotsu interrupted InuYasha's thoughts. And as if on queue, Kikyou and Suikotsu arrived. Seeing InuYasha startled her, but she regained control in record time.
"Come to ask if you can have more time?" Kikyou smirked.
"Actually," InuYasha said with a cheesy grin, "I've come to tell you that my band is complete!"
Kikyou was shocked. He actually did it. "I'm impressed," she said, her evil grin faded from her face. "What's it called?"
"OmegaNihon."
"Catchy," Suikotsu smiled. Kikyou gave him a glare so cold he had to look away. "Umm, Mukotsu. C-could you help me in the kitchen. I've got to get dinner started."
"Fine." The two of them went in the kitchen to
(get away from Kikyou and to)
get dinner started.
InuYasha was feeling rather proud of himself. He rubbed Kikyou's nose in it, and it felt good. Nothing could ruin this moment.
"Hiiiiiiii, InuYasha!!"
(Except that.)
Jakotsu came running out from the kitchen the moment he heard that InuYasha was over for a visit. He ran to the couch, jumped over it, did a mid-air summersault and landed right at InuYasha's feet.
"Show off," InuYasha said in disgust. But Jakotsu's wide grin didn't fade.
"And to what do we owe this honor?" Jakotsu said, still smiling. Kikyou answered with an annoyed grunt. "You finished getting your band together? Oh, that's so cool!"
"How do you do that?" Kikyou said, surprised. Jakotsu just smiled.
"Yes," InuYasha said, "I've finished getting it together. And that's all I have to tell you." And with that, he left.
"How rude," Jakotsu whispered. "But it's good to know that there will be some decent competition at the . competition." He looked over at Kikyou. Her face was as red as a tomato. "Someone's jealous."
"Someone talks to much," Kikyou snapped. Jakotsu recoiled.
"Okay, I see where this is going." he said with a hurt expression.
".Where?"
Jakotsu smiled again. "I know a way to cheer you up."
".What?"
Jakotsu put his hands together and put them up to his face. "The best way to unwind: Girl's Night Out!"
Later that night, while Jakotsu and Kikyou were having their . 'Girl's Night Out'. Shippou and Kohaku were having a Killer Instinct battle on the Play Master 6000. Hakudoushi had made a bet that Shippou, a first time player, would wipe the floor with Kohaku. And guess what? He did. It may have been the humiliation of loosing to Shippou, but Kohaku could have sworn he saw Kanna smile.
Kagura walked into the room. "Okay kids," she said, "Time for bed."
"You know," Hakudoushi said, "We're just gonna stay up late and talk anyways, right?"
Kagura smiled. "Yes, but it's best to get an early start on that, don't you think?"
Kohaku turned off the game and the four of them snuggled into their sleeping bags. The news was on the TV and Kagura heard something of interest.
"Queen La Saia has been reported missing," the news anchor said, "for the past several days. If anyone has any information on her whereabouts, please call us-"
Kohaku turned off the TV and paid no heed to the report. Kagura just brushed it off as well, but it still stuck in the back of her mind the whole night. She could feel some significance in that report, something that might affect her. She went back to her own room and went to sleep.
What a wild night it had been. First Jakotsu and Kikyou went to the male strip club, and then they went to the bar and reached the state of pure inebriation. This was a state that perhaps no one has ever reached before. They were both much too drunk to drive home, so they decided to rent a room at a motel, a decision that would come back to haunt them.
Jakotsu woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. His mouth had a very horrible taste. He searched around his teeth with his tongue and found a cigarette butt. He spat it out in disgust, which triggered his headache. He clasped his hands to his temples and lay back down.
"Oh man," he thought in between stabs of pain, "I can't remember a thing!"
Then he noticed something that he hadn't before. Underneath the sheets he was naked. And to make matters even worse, lying beside him was the also naked Kikyou.
His mouth dropped open. "No," he thought, "No, we didn't."
Kikyou stirred, her eyes opened and saw Jakotsu with his mouth hanging open. "Morning," she whispered, and closed her eyes again. Then she bolted up right. Jakotsu and Kikyou stared at each other for what seemed to be hours.
"This is so exciting," Sango said energetically, "I've always had this dream of performing for people."
"You have?" Kagome asked. This was the first she had heard of this so-called dream.
