Yay it seems not many ppl fell for the authors note thing. That's good that ppl actually click those things to see what the author says… well I know I don't. but don't follow my example. But if some of you didn't realize, the 'IMPORTANT ATTENTION' thing was an actual chapter, so I suggest you go back and read it if you haven't. I hope you all enjoy…
Oh I checked my stats and saw that I reached(or almost reached) ((I practically reached)) 300 reviews!!!!! I love you guys so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: honestly, one would think that its called FANFICTION for a reason… jeez!
I also do not own Sum41's 'Fat Lip' I just really like the song.
Chapter 21: if I were to name it I guess I'd name it 'Getting back in the Game.' ::shrugs::
"So what are you two doing up here really?" Kouga asked with a knowing smirk.
"Kami, how immature" Kagome muttered.
"I already told ya!" Inuyasha all but bellowed.
"Jeez alright, alright" Kouga said lifting his hands in a defensive gesture. "I was just kidding"
"So Kouga do you play any instruments other than bass?" Kagome asked trying to relieve some of the tension in the room, it was becoming unbearable.
"Nope. I stick to bass, first true love"
"That sounded so gay" Inuyasha commented.
Kouga took up his bass that was at the door and strapped up. "Lets just play around for a while" he said, both of them ignoring Inuyasha's last comment.
"Sure"
They pushed the couch to a wall and pulled the amp into the space. All three of them hooked up.
"Are you sure about this Kagome?" Inuyasha asked concerened
"Yeah, I'm fine, popped a couple pilled not too long ago."
Before anyone else could say anything, she began a random intro. The guys jumped in throwing in random notes, it sounded that a punk song so they decided to act like punks. Kouga began bouncing around the room, Inuyasha was head banging and Kagome was just grinning like a madman. In the end, it still sounded like a song without drums. Crappy, but good.
"Storming through the party like my name is El Nino" Inuyasha said randomly.
"While I'm handgun drinking in the back of an El Camino" Kouga supplied.
"As a kid was a skidd n no one knew me by name"
"Crashed my own house party cause nobody came"
"I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in highschool, never going never showing up when we had to. Is it attention that me crave, don't tell us to behave. I'm sick of always hearing act your age" Inuyasha just sang out. They seemed to be venting about society, and making a song at the same time. Kagome just got a spur and started singing what seemed to be a good chorus.
"I don't want to waste my time, and become another casualty to society. I'll never fall in line, and be come another victim of your conformity. And back down!"
they all started laughing and was going to start on a second verse when the door opened.
"What are you doing?" Inutaishio's voice quelled their fun. They all froze then slowly turned to the door, Kouga's and Kagome's last notes fading into the suddenly quiet room.
"Uh hey dad" Inu said
"What do you think your doing, playing in the house?"
"Well we were up here trying to help out Kagome and I guess we got a bit carried away." He explained. Inutaishio's gaze moved to Kagome, who was suddenly finding her pick frozen on the A string very interesting, then it moved to her bandage.
"Very well, but take it into the garage, your mother is having a headache." He said then left.
"Well uh, why not" Kouga said shrugging.
"Inu, geta notpad or something, I think we got the makings of a cool song." Kag said unhooking herself from the amp.
"Your right, all we need is some drums," he said walking over to his overflowing messy desk, cluttered with undone homework. He spotted a pencil in between two books and a notepad beneath an unsteady pile of books. He took each from their respective spots and walked away. They all tuned to see one pile knock down the next ending up with a bunch of new stuff on the floor. They all looked at each other, shrugged, and then left the room like nothing happened.

The trio were in the garage for quite some time now, they had finished the first song and dubbed it 'Fat Lip' they weren't sure why but they couldn't really care less. They started another one and dubbed it 'the rock show' it wasn't completely done but they decided to take a break. The quiet in the room now seemingly out of place after the over five hours of musical fun. They were now around the foosball table and Kagome was whipping Inuyasha's ass at it.
"Ha!" she said as she scored another goal, "you really suck at this y'know" she taunted him after winning yet another game that. And she just learnt how to play!
"Beginner's luck" he grumbled
"Dude, you don't say that after six straight games. Its sure skill"
"No I let you win"
"Nope, she got you beat" Kouga said. Inu glared at him but it slowly changed into a smirk. Kouga caught the mischievousness to it and he smirked also.
/ Storming through the party like my name is El Nino
While I'm handgun drinking in the back of an El Camino
As a kid was a skid and no one knew me by name
Crashed my own house party cause nobody came/They both looked over at Kagome, who was doing a little victory dance. She turned to them as the place got quiet and saw the smirks.
/ I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in highschool
Never going, never showing up when we had to
Is it attention that we crave? Don't tell us to be have
I'm sick of always hearing 'act your age'/"Uh… guys?" she asked. They only smirked at them; she didn't like those smirks one bit. They started advancing on her, like a dong and wolf closing in on their already cornered prey. she backed up slowly, eyes trained on both of them.
They pounced.
/ I don't want to waste my time
And become another casualty to society
I'll never fall in line
And become another victim of your conformity
And back down/Inuyasha slung she over his shoulder, mindful of her arm, kouga opened the door and they sprinted out.
"Put me down!!" she screamed pounding on his back. She didn't know why, but she was actually enjoying this. Probably a side effect of the medication. They were strong so they had to have weird side effects. Dropping the matter at that, she continued screaming for him to put her down. Behind them, Kouga was howling with laughter.
Suddenly they stopped, she didn't like this one bit.
"Put…me down?" she said slowly.
"Ok" he said then let her go.
/ Because you don't
Know us at all, we laugh when old people fall
But what would you expect with a conscience so small
Heavy Metal and mullets is how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised/He let her go, she was falling, the ground wasn't this high up right. Then she felt it. The wet splash of the pool. The warm chlorinated water. She quickly surfaced and glared at them, they were laughing.
Her glaring at them didn't last long because she had to swim for her life. Both of them cannon-balled into the water.
/ Cause we like having fun at other people's expense and
Cutting people down is just a minor offense then
Its none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn/When they surfaced, she immediately went behind them.
"Hey, where'd she go?" Kouga asked looking around, all he could see was his and Inuyasha's clothes floating around them.
"I donno"
"Die suckers!" Kagome yelled, she jumped out of the water them with all her strength, pushed their heads under. It was relatively easy, because she caught them off-guard.
/ I don't want to waste my time
And become another casualty to society
I'll never fall in line
And become another victim of your conformity
And back down/They threw her off and a water war ensued.

Miroku walked into the garage, drumsticks spinning in his fingers, ready for practice. He stopped in the threshold, the place was a mess; guitars and bass lay scattered here and there, papers all over the place, both crumpled and 'neat' the place only looked like that when Inuyasha was trying to write a new song. And by the looks of it, he seemed to have a bit of help.
He looked around again and a piece of paper floated from a shelf to him. He caught it and read; it was a music sheet with Inuyasha's Kouga's and Kagome's almost indecipherable, rushed scrawls on it. It proved his theory correct, they were writing a new song. But where was everyone?
The door opened and Sesshomaru came in. he took note of the place and sighed, shaking his head slightly irritated.
"It looks like the three imbeciles actually made good of their noise" the piece of paper Miroku held caught his attention. He noticed the title. "…Somewhat"
"Where are they?" he dared to venture.
"They are still by the pool apparently"
"What do you mean by 'still'?"
"See for yourself"
0000000ooooo000000000
Miroku stopped dead at the side of the pool. There was Inuyasha, cannon-balling, in his clothes, into the pool from the high dive. Kouga was bobbing somewhere in the middle, and Kagome just surfaced behind Inuyasha, who threw her effortlessly behind Kouga with a splash.
There laughter, mainly her laughter filled the air. It sounded foreign to him, but it also sounded great.
/ I don't want to waste my time
And become another casualty to society
I'll never fall in line
And become another victim of your conformity
And back down
Waste my time with them…
Casualty of society
Waste my time again…
Victim of your conformity/
"Ok, playtimes up kids" Miroku said startling every one of them in the pool. "Kagome, you of all people should have known better," he jokingly reprimanded when she surfaced. The trio reluctantly left the water, and then totally regretted doing so. They were now vulnerable to the cold air of dusk.
"Shit its cold" Kagome shivered, then glared at the two equally wet guys. "This is all your fault"
"What that you had fun?" Kouga asked with a knowing smirk.
"Whatever" she said then mumbled something about stupid side effects of pills.
"C'mon lets get dried off." Inuyasha said leading them to the house
And back down.

About thirty minutes later, the trio walked into the garage, surprised to find it actually neat and all their scribblings in one stack and their instruments propped up neatly at a wall. 'The place looks bigger' they all mused at the same time.
Kouga took his place; he was wearing one of Inuyasha's sweat suits. He, like an idiot, left his hair out. The damp strands frizzing fast. Kagome had on a black 'MADE' shirt that was 2 sizes bigger that what she normally wore (she normally wears large) she also had on what where supposed to be ¾ baggy guy pants but ended up being extra baggy punk capris on her. She, being smart (and a girl), braided her hair in one long tight black rope.
Inuyasha came in smirking, thinking that (like the guy he was) Kagome looked good in his clothes.
"So what's the deal with the scribbles here?" Miroku asked
"Oh we were goofing off" Kouga explained, hooking himself to the amp
"But it actually sounded good, so we wrote it down" Kag said brushing her damp bangs back from her face,
"Can I hear it?" he asked
They all shrugged then got ready. Kag started abruptly, taking Miroku off guard and Sesshomaru who had just come in. Miroku got behind the drums and joined in, adding the already known beat with a few extra touches.
Sesshomaru scowled when they ended the two songs. Kagome went to talk to Miroku about some tempo switches.
"I refuse in such trivial songs"
"Yeah, we thought you'd say that so that's why it only has one bass part fluffy" Inuyasha explained. Sess glowered,
"We need to start practicing our competition entries" Kouga said. Unconsciously stopping Sesshomaru from killing his younger sibling.
"Which songs are we doing?" Kag asked looking up from her conversation with Miroku.
"Sinner (drowning pool), Not Falling (Mudvayne) and Enter Sandman (Mettalica)" he answered taking up a clipboard from seemingly out of nowhere then putting it back there again.
"Sounds good"
"We play Sinner first right?" Inu asked, at Sesshomaru's nodd he continued, "So I guess we should practice that first"
tbc…..
I think that's enough for now. don't you?
Well I'm happy to say, two ppl have accepted my challenge. So you can look out for those.
Well anywho, I'm out.
LOVE AND PEACE!!!!!
