"Sango... you try running in heels!"
"They're boots!" Sango argued, holding the door.
"High heeled boots." she retorted, finally catching up.
"Sango! Kagome!" Rin called, running up to them. "What happened?"
"Bad driving directions." Sango told her, giving Kagome a looked.
"Whatever." Kagome sighed, "What did we miss?"
"Oh just 'I hate everything about you' and 'Saddest Girl Story' Rin said, walking back to the stage area.
"Just?! That's my favorite song!" Kagome wailed, following.
"She named two Kag."
"Oh..... well I knew that."
"Don't worry, they're starting another now." Rin smiled, peaking around the curtain and watching Inuyasha start with his guitar and Shippou soon join on the keyboard. Inuyasha sang this song while Kouga would harmonize every now and then... that sometimes presented a problem though. Why you ask?.... They tried to out sing each other.
How heavy the sky was outside of my windows
And from the inside I watched it go by
With all that I've got to reach back to remember
The things I fought, so hard with each thought
Then your voice returns until every word burns the walls
I tried to keep you outside, you're part of me now
But you're not around
Why you're under my skin
You found a way to get in
Why you're under my skin
And now the thoughts I resist
I reuse
Strange how it hits me when all of the moments I used to know travel so close
Through my invitation, I'm reluctant to feel it pierce through my skin
And with every inch it brings back the hurt
As thoughts recur inside my head of all that we said
To leave it behind but now you're inside
Why you're under my skin
You found a way to get in
Why you're under my skin
And now the thoughts I resist
I reuse
You're a part of me now but you're not around
Inuyasha let the last note sound out as the crowd cheered on. Sango watched as the drummer let someone take his place at the set and walked forward next to the lead. They did some kind of corky shake as he took the mic. Inuyasha, Kouga, and the new drummer started out the song loudly, quieting down a bit as the man started to sing.
"Now it's years since your body went flat
And even memories of that are all thick and dull
All gravel and grass
But who needs them now,
Displaced they're easily more safe
The worst of it now
I can't remember your face"
"Return
Return
Return
Return"
"Did Inuwaesha write this too?" Sango asked, her eyes locked on the vocalist
"Inuyasha" Kagome corrected.
"Actually no, Miroku wrote this not long after his father died, before he joined the band."
"Miroku's the one singing?"
"Yes"
Sango nodded and started swaying to the beat. It was a little different from the other's songs, but that was probably because Inuyasha hadn't written it. Maybe that's why she liked it.
"For a while, with the vertigo cured,
We were alive we were pure,
The void took the shape of all that were,
But years take their toll, and things get bent into shape
Antiseptic and tired, I can't remember your face"
"Return
Return
Return
Return"
"And you were supposed to grow old
You were supposed to grow old
Reckless, unfrightened and old
You were supposed to grow old"
"(Return) You were supposed to grow old
(Return) You were supposed to grow old
(Return) You were supposed to grow old
(Return) You were supposed to grow old
Return
Return
You were supposed to return
You were supposed to return
You were supposed to "
Miroku finished off, pushing the mic and stand away and taking a deep breath. Inuyasha patted him on the back, as did the others, as he walked back to his place at the drum set. He'd written that song by himself a few years before meeting Inuyasha and joining the band. His father died young, only 24, leaving him alone with his godfather, seeing as his mother died in child birth. It made him pour his heart out when he sang it. The crowd cheered on, begging for more. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
"Hey" Inuyasha spoke into the mic, smirking when another round of cheers went around.
"Hey, as much as we wanna keep playin, we gotta bounce, so this'll be our last song for this evening."
"Yeah, drive safe!" Miroku yelled
"No drinking!" Shippou jumped in before Inuyasha pushed him away.
"Night!"
There's a fire forming, not too far from here
Along the east coast maybe, it resides in you, my dear
Worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls
Like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City that we crawl
And you've got a funny way of showing off your bathroom surgery
You said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never met arms like yours
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
There's a hard rain falling, flooding your attic, it's clear
Can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never seen scars like yours
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain

"Gods, that was awesome!" Kagome squealed, falling onto a couch. They hadn't gotten to meet the band yet, but she was even more psyched then before. Seeing them live was soooooo much better then on T.V. There was so much feeling into it!
"They were awesome. I had no idea Shippou played the keyboards." Sango said, sitting next to her friend.
"What was Shippou!?" Kagome asked, sitting up.
"How do you know Shippou?" Rin questioned, placing a few soda's on the table.
"Well, a while back we got his grandfather and Kaede together. We met him at the wedding. I doubt he remembers us though." Kagome answered, taking a drink.
"Yuck, coke. Pepsi's better. Anyway, I'm sure he remembers you Kagome. He clung to you the entire time." Sango commented, taking a Pepsi. Kagome could be very motherly at times and Shippou saw her almost as his. AT the wedding atleast. He was pretty protective, even for an eight-year-old. Kawaii!
"The boys are coming." Rin said, hearing laughter come from the hall.
"Wow! How's my hair?" Kagome fussed.
"Oh chill out Kag, it's fine.
. . .
. . .
. . .
How's mine?"
"Fine"
"You girls are a trip." Rin laughed, heading to the door. "Stay here, I'll let them know your here so they won't think your some stalkers or something" She directed. "Oh, and girls? Sesshoumaru said to keep your backsides away from Miroku."
"Why would we have our butts near anyone anyway?" Sango asked, Kagome just shrugged.

"Sesshomaru, your woman is calling you" Kouga mentioned, pointing back to the girl walking towards them."
"What is it Rin?" He asked, when she had gotten to them.
"They're here" She said after glaring at Kouga for a moment, snaking her arms around her koi's back.
"Who's here?" Shippou asked, carefully switching Inuyasha's drink for a candle and taking a few giant gulps from it. Surprising from such a little guy.
"Kagome and Sango, the matchmaker." Rin said, winking at the boy.
"Kagome and Sango.... Sango and Kagome..." Shippou thought, plucking memories from the back of his brain. "OH!.....ooooooooh...." He remembered, giving a thumbs up to Rin and zipping his mouth shut.
"Oh? What is this 'oh' you speak of?" Inuyasha badgered, not liking the idea that Shippou knew something he did not.
"Oh, nothing!" He chirped, happily bouncing past them to the room.
"How do they look?" Sesshoumaru asked, curious. He hadn't seen them when they came in, he was busy keeping the fangirls away.
"Absolutly Stunning." She smirked, looking back to the rest of the band. "Why don't you guys go introduce yourselves?"
"Keh, I don't wanna go talk to some old hags." Inuyasha complained, taking a swig from his soda. Atleast that was the plan... "Shippou...." He growled menacingly, tossing the candle aside.
"He went in there." Rin said casually pointing to the room the girls were in
"Thanks" Inuyasha said quickly before running to strangle the kid.
"Idiot! We need him!" Kouga yelled, running after him.
"Inuyasha, control you're anger! Rememeber the breathing techniques!" Miroku called, following after them.
"Do you think it's safe to leave them in there?" Rin asked, a few seconds after the boys dissappeared downt he hall.
"They'll be fine, and have fun." Sesshoumaru regarded cooly. "But why not have our own fun?" He asked, felling the blush rise on Rin's face.
"I'm not sure..." She said slying "I think I may need a bit of persuation..."
"Is that so?" Sesshomaru asked, lowing his head to hers and kissing her softly
"That would do..." She squeaked, as he led her away.
