A/N: Long time, no chappie, eh? Everybody hated me putting this one of hiatus, but I needed a break from this one. And, the break helped me get over my writer's block. Mostly. I pretty much have it figured out, except some middle parts. But that's how it always is with me.

Comechatcha, yes, I have been in a middle school band. I'm 22 years old. I have been in my school bands from 5th grade till 12th grade. I also know very well that percussionists switch around with instruments. I was one. Since I played the bassoon, I had to play the percussion for marching band. If you had waited to read the rest of this story, you would find that the percussionists don't play just the ones I put on the list. That was just a good list for the ones they play during their festival. Sorry, I didn't make it clear. And, my middle school went to 9th grade. I know other people who have 6th thru 8th and some that are just 7th and 8th. I'm sorry that mine was so out of whack.

Onna-chan, I was not in Orchestra, I have no experience and feel that I should not write about something I have no experience in. And why did I choose things the way I did? Just cause I decided to put people there. I have no real and true reasons for doing it. I could just as easily have done what you said. But it was just the way I decided. If you have a real problem with this, why are reading this fic?

I just needed to say that. I guess I have a real hard time with people not really giving me good criticism. Just saying how they think it should be. If you don't like my way, go yours. And trying to tell me off. God, I hate that. The whole percussionists thing is alright, because I didn't say that that was just festival way. But, hey, did you go to my middle school?

Wow, I went really harsh. I guess it's because it's 1:51 in the morning. Was I too harsh? If so, I apologize. Sometimes I do go over the top over little things. But, what they said was kinda eating me. So, if you meant what you said in a different way, please explain how you did mean it.

Disclaimer: I don't own. I don't own. How many times must I say this?

"Moshi moshi" A voice said on the other line.

"Is Sango there?" Kagome asked as she walked into her bedroom.

"This is she." Sango replied.

"Oh hey Sango! It's Kagome." Kagome answered as she flopped on to her bed and turned on her television.

"So, how was your second day?" Sango asked.

"Ok. Band is probably going to be my best class. It was at my old school too." Kagome answered, flipping through channels.

"Same here. I love band. It was probably my favorite class all the years I've been doing it." Sango finished some of the homework she was given. She hated it that one teacher had decided to give them a quiz to see how much they remembered from over the summer.

"What are you doing?" Kagome asked, bored. She didn't feel like unpacking more stuff. She felt it was already good enough how it was. She decided she might do it on Sunday.

"I'm just finishing up some homework." Sango said as she cursed at the paper because she had erased so hard it made a hole.

"Homework? On the second day?" Kagome objected.

"Hai. Yamamoto decided to see if we still remembered anything from over the summer." Sango replied distantly. She was trying hard to remember facts of history. She hated history, and of course it was the subject she just had to have the most tests in last year. She had barely made it out alive.

"He's your history teacher right? Isn't that what you said at lunch today?" Kagome asked.

"Hai. You're so lucky with Kawasaki. Easy teacher." Sango grew annoyed. This question was really beginning to bug her.

"We bring instruments tomorrow, right?" Kagome asked, trying to reassure herself that she had her facts straight.

"Hai." Sango replied not really thinking. She was concentrating too hard on the question.

"GOT IT!" Sango yelled loudly over the phone.

"What?" Kagome asked, trying to get the ringing out of her ear drums. If a sonic boom was supposedly loud, wait till it sized up with that yell.

"This question." Sango said.

"What was the question?" Kagome questioned.

" 'What's your name?' " Sango replied.

"Kami-sama" Kagome sighed. She didn't realize she had a ditz for a friend.

"No not really. That was a long time ago. This one was just dealing with trade and stuff." Sango said.

"Oh, good. I was a little worried." Kagome said.

Iam8768895: So, did you hear?

Miroku AIMed Inuyasha.

AeroNight72: What about?

Iam8768895: The new girl! Higurashi Kagome!

AeroNight72: what about her?

Iam8768895: Haven't you seen her? She's hot man!

AeroNight72: She's annoying.

Iam8768895: Oh really?

AeroNight72: She is. She is a real bitch too.

Iam8768895: Are you just saying that because she looks like kikyou?

AeroNight72: Iie! Course not!

Iam8768895: Didn't you two break up this summer?

AeroNight72: We did.

Iam8768895: And....?

AeroNight72: We broke up.

Iam8768895: Seems like you still like her. I see those looks you give her sometimes in class.

AeroNight72: No way! I do not like that bitch!

Iam8768895: Really? That's news to me.

AeroNight72: Just drop it.

Iam8768895: I g2g. ttyl, ja!

AeroNight72: ja!

Iam8768895 has signed off.

Inuyasha leaned back in his chair. He didn't like Kikyou or that other girl, Kagome. He knew he didn't He just knew he didn't.

"Murakami, second finger down. Not first." Zakoji corrected to the girl next to Kagome. It was the first real day of band. The first and second days they didn't really do much. Just till the third day did they really play. But, even then, it was just warm ups. But Kagome was used to this. Typical first band weeks. Warm ups. Making sure they remembered fingerings. Played scales. Got used to breathing deeper again. It was all the same, from her old school. But she didn't mind the warm ups. The first starting weeks. They always ended up helping.

The class went by fast as it always did. Playing a few chorales, scales, and other miscellaneous warmups.

"Hey, Kagome, can I talk to you?" Mashimaru Miroku stood behind her.

"Sure, Miroku." Kagome blushed a little. A popular, hot guy wanted to talk to her?

"Sorry, I never properly introduced myself. I'm Mashimaru Miroku." Miroku said to her.

"I'm Higurashi Kagome. Since I never did either." Kagome said.

"Good." Miroku started to walk and Kagome followed him as he continued to talk to her. "Would you like to eat lunch with me?" Miroku asked.

"Sure, as long as long as a friend of mine can eat with us." Kagome slowly answered. Sango wouldn't be too pleased, but Miroku seemed like the perfect gentlemen-

Till the moment she felt a hand on her butt.

"HENTAI!!" She screamed through the halls. Inuyasha, who had been walking ahead of them, snickered loudly as Miroku got a beating from Kagome.

He walked forward over to the beaten Miroku.

"Don't know when to quit do you, hentai?" Inuyasha laughed loudly and walked on.

A/N: Ya. I'm back! But, it'll be 3 weeks at least before I can update again. I'm going vacation, so I can't update! *cries cries* But I will update as soon as I get home!

~~~Y.L.S.

Again and again I must say this, just in case they do try to take credit. M.S. and A.R.A. did not write. As usual.
