How do you like me now? – Chapter 5
5-Year high school reunion party
Sango and Miroku greeted their classmates as they walked through the crowd, and no sign of Inu Yasha. Kouga was busy showing of his fiancée, Ayame, to the rest of his former teammates. Standing all by herself, next to the refreshment table, was Kagome. She looked so depressed that Sango wanted to rush right over and give her a hug…but Kagome had stopped talking to her about three months ago. Ever since she had married Houjo their relationship had been strained, because Sango would constantly tell Kagome she deserved better. Houjo was rarely home, for goodness' sake! Plus her kids always said Kagome cried when she thought they wouldn't notice. All information she had told Inu Yasha, which upset him, but he did nothing major about it since Kagome never wanted to hear from him again.
Miroku noticed the angered look on his wife's face, the direction she was looking in, and assumed she was thinking about Houjo again. With a shrug he patted her butt to keep her from tensing up too badly. Unfortunately she released her tension in the form of a slap. Target: Miroku's face. Old habits die hard.
After an hour had passed and still there was not a sight of Inu Yasha's silvery-white hair, Sango began to worry. She had probably seen most of the high school graduates she wanted to see; all the ones she didn't want to see and even some of the teachers. She was about to ask Miroku where the hell the guy was, when the old principle took to the microphone on stage.
"Well, this is a wonderful surprise to see you all again. We have set up some entertainment for you tonight." The principle chuckled, "I never thought this boy would make it. Here, for your enjoyment, is Hanyou!"
Inu Yasha walked out on the stage with his old red guitar in hand, "Hey, it's been a while! Bet those teachers aren't too happy to see me, huh?" The teachers laughed and so did the students. "This song's words may sound a bit familiar to everyone. Hope you enjoy it." He then picked up the mic and his band started to play.
I was always the crazy one
I broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And the valedictorian so
Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"
I only wanted to catch your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud.
How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin' here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about
Living in your radio
How do you like me now?
When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Ain't it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and tore them apart.
He never comes home
And you're always alone
And your kids hear you cryin' down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin'
Who could that be singin'
Its me baby, with your wake up call!
How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin' here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?
The gathered students and staff cheered for him as he finished his song. Kagome stared at him, wide-eyed. He was talking about her in his song, wasn't he? She was so lost in thought, she didn't even notice the man that had moved to her side.
"Hi." Came the quiet greeting, bringing her out of her musings.
When she looked up, she wasn't surprised at all to see Inu Yasha. "You're such an idiot." Kagome whispered to him.
"I know, and I'm sorry. But love does make you do some pretty dumb things…" Inu Yasha wrapped his arms around her and held her tight as she finally broke down and cried.
