Of Wolves and Tights
Chapter 14
Pompoms and Batons
Authors note: yeah and yet another chapter up. I dunno but I guess not writing this all summer has refilled the creativity reserve in me. I've got some other ideas so I may just get up the next chapter soon.
After their run in with the ShichininTai and the odd girls the Inu Yasha group were a little more inclined to look out as they walked along the trail. Though when evening came around and they had no more encounters with any random or strange persons or beings they were feeling more relaxed and were all ready to have another night of calm around the campfire.
As the evening wore on to night and still nothing had happened they were all once again in cheerful moods chatting like usual as they all dined on their dinner of fish. There had been plenty and large ones at the river so no one had to go hungry this night as Inu Yasha and Shippo gorged themselves on fish with plenty left over for the others and Kirara.
Pulling out her Boom box Kagome smiled at them all as she pulled out yet another burnt CD and popped it in. The first few songs were all instrumental so the others relaxed when one of them didn't jump up and start dancing and singing like a lunatic.
But as the fifth song came on they could all tell that it was going to be a song with vocals. Tensing they looked at each other each wondering who it would capture this time. Kagome smiled evilly and looked over at Sango expecting her friend to be the one singing.
When Kagome suddenly jumped up dressed in a cheerleader's uniform, complete with pompoms, the others couldn't be more surprised. Except when Sango jumped up in a similar outfit and grabbed Miroku's staff.
"My baby he don't talk sweet. He ain't got much to say. But he loves me, loves me, loves me. I know that he loves me anyway." Kagome sang dancing around and using her pompoms to good effect as she performed moves that she hadn't been able to do before she started singing the song.
Sango in the background was singing Kagome's backup and twirling Miroku's staff around like a baton tossing it up into the air to catch it easily and spin it around before throwing it back up again.
"And maybe he don't dress fine. But I don't really mind. ' Cuz every time he pulls me near I just wanna cheer!" Kagome threw her hands into the air shaking the pompoms around.
"Let's hear it for the boy! Let's give the boy a hand." Kagome sang twirling around. Everyone clapped though they didn't know why.
"Let's hear it for my baby. You know you gotta understand. Maybe he's no Romeo but he's my lovin one-man show." Kagome sang and began to do the cheerleading moves for letters and spelt out Inu Yasha's name, to the obvious appreciation of Miroku. This of course while embarrassing to Inu Yasha made him feel that bit more possessive of Kagome than usual. So when Miroku started to stare at Kagome as she was spelling Inu Yasha's name Inu Yasha whacked him over the head growling at him.
"Ohhhhhh whoooaaaaooo let's hear it for the boy. My baby may not be rich. He's watching every dime." Everyone stopped and looked at Kagome confused the music suddenly paused.
"What's a dime?" Sango asked looking at Kagome confused. Then looking down at herself she gasped at the skimpy outfit and tried to stretch both the shirt and the skirt at the same time to better cover herself.
Kagome shrugged and put a finger to her bottom lip as she thought. Thinking she remembered something from one of her school classes and you could almost see the light bulb lighting up over her head.
"It's currency from another Country in my time. I can't remember what it would be worth in this era though." Kagome said and gave a weak laugh rubbing the base of her neck. As soon as she said that the song started up again and Kagome and Sango were dancing and twirling around again.
"But he loves me, loves me, loves me. We always have a real good time. And maybe he sings off key. But that's all right by me. Yeah 'cuz what he does he so well. Makes me wanna yell!" Kagome again threw her arms up into the air twirling around and doing a mini cheerleading pose before going right back into her dancing.
Sango was off in her own little world of background singing and baton moves. She didn't know what she was doing or saying or singing or anything. All she knew was twirl, turn, throw, twirl, turn, catch, add in funky move, twirl, turn, throw... and so on and so on.
Inu Yasha was as red as his clothing and looking around for a way to run. Miroku was laughing at Inu Yasha while watching Sango hoping for that short skirt to come up just an inch or two more. Shippo was bouncing around liking the beat of the song and the way Miroku's staff would twirl in the air.
"Let's hear it for the boy! Oh let's give the boy a hand," Here everyone stopped what they were doing and clapped while Inu Yasha gave a little half bow, "Let's hear it for my baby. You know you gotta understand. Maybe he's no Romeo but he's my lovin one-man show, oooooh whooooaaa oo. Let's hear it for the boy!" As Kagome sang this she and Sango began to do well choreographed moves each helping the other out as they worked as a team.
"Let's here it for my man! Let's here for my mannnnnnnnnnnnnn! Let's hear for my baby! Let's here it for my guy. Let's here it for my man. Let's here it for my man." The song eventually trailed off and when it did Kagome and Sango stood looking around confused and back in their normal clothes.
Shaking their heads the girls looked at the guys wondering why Miroku looked so sad and disappointed while Inu Yasha looked ready to bolt and had a very interesting blush. Wondering what had happened the girls looked at each other only to find the other as confused. Shrugging at each other they walked back to the campfire, Sango turning the Boom box off as she went past it.
Kagome sighed and looked at the Boom box, she could vaguely recall knowing the song but she didn't want to try and play it again knowing it would only result in a repeat of what had just happened and with her being as confused and possibly more embarrassed when Shippo finally told her what happened.
And so with a quiet embarrassment everyone turned in for the night.
End authors note: Ok there I think that turned out pretty well. More like the regular chapters than the last one was. The next chapter should be Nobunaga singing Foot Loose. Unless of course me and Kat think of something better.
