6 Strings of a Guitar
Last Time: She flipped him off and walked away.
The Tryout
'The nerve of that guy,' Kagome thought as she walked to her car, 'treating me like that, that asshole.'
She pulled her keys from her backpack and unlocked the doors. She pulled the piece of paper Miroku gave her with the directions to Inuyasha's house. Starting the ignition she noticed that he lived relatively close to her. She put the car in reverse and popped in her Punisher soundtrack CD and cranked it up on the song "Broken". She started to sing along with the song to warm her voice up. Then it hit her,
'I don't have my guitar or I don't even know what to play.'
"Oh shit." She said out loud. She hoped he would have a good guitar so she could play the song,
'Wait a minute…….',she thought, 'I could play this.' Bobbing her head and saying the keys out loud to the song she would decide when she got there. She pulled into the driveway to find Inuyasha setting stuff up in the garage, like amps and stuff. She turned her car off and opened the door,
"Well I see Miroku didn't get you lost." Inuyasha said picking up the amp from the corner and setting it next to the wall with the electric outlet. Miroku walked out twirling his drumsticks in his fingers. Kagome walked up to one of the guitars and strummed the strings,
"You mind if I tune this to my liking?" She asked Inuyasha who was moving some of the drum equipment around.
"Sure, whatever makes you play better."
She began strumming them to her liking, Inuyasha just watched her do it.
'She really knows what she's doing.' Inuyasha thought. Kagome looked over at him,
'Time to show off the mad skills huh?'
"Hey Yasha, I can call you that right? Ever heard of New Found Glory?" Kagome asked as she set her fingers to where the beginning note is.
"Yeah why?" She began to play the song beginning,
"You're hiding something cause it's burning through your eyes. I try to get it out but all I hear from you are lies."
"Ok then," Inuyasha said picking up a guitar himself, "Every heard of Nickleback?" (I hope you guys know this song.) He put his fingers where that beginning note is,
"Head's on the mirror can't get much clearer can't make this all go away. Now that your bleeding you stare at the ceiling and watch as it all fades away."
"Not bad. But can you top this?" Kagome said and began to play Pieces of Me,
"On Monday I'm waiting on Tuesday I'm fading, and by Wednesday I can't sleep, then the phone rings I hear you and the darkness is a clear view."
"Oh please you singing a girly song like that?" Inuyasha said.
"Ok guys we need to find a song to do at the talent show ok?" Miroku said and sat down behind the drums.
"Wait a minute I have the perfect song and it has a pretty good drum part I'm hope you're up to it Miroku," She said as she walked out to her car and pushed eject on her CD player.
"You have a CD Player around here anywhere?" Inuyasha pointed to the corner. She pushed the eject button and put it in. She clicked through the tracks till she got to Slow Motion by Nickleback on the Punisher CD. Inuyasha started playing the rhythm on his guitar and Miroku just listened. The part came and he looked very determined to get it right the first time. His arm went to every drum on the set then hitting the cymbal (don't know if that's right).
"Very good, didn't know you'd learn that fast."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a minute. What makes you think you're in the group?" Inuyasha said putting the guitar down.
"Well am I?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah I guess since we can't find anyone else."
Kagome's eyes narrowed,
"Well aren't you being a little stuck up bastard." She said.
"Well at least I'm not a show off wrench."
"Yeah well you're dog-shit since inu means dog."
"You take that back bitch."
"Not a chance asshole."
They both just stared at each other you'd swear there was electricity come out of their eyes and meeting in the middle.
"Ok guys, back to practice." Miroku broke it up.
"Fine." They both said at the same time.
Kagome looked down at her watch, 6:00 on a Friday night and where was she? Playing in a band. She began strumming the notes to the song, singing sometimes to the lyrics. Till she remembered Inuyasha was the lead singer and she would never get her shot in the spot light. Kagome had looked up for a second to swear she saw some one in the bushes, she could have sworn it was that bastard Naraku.
Over in the bush
"So she's a member of Inuyasha's band huh? Koga, Hiten, Maten, you there?" He said into a walkie-talkie.
"Yeah we're here so what's the deal with the chick?" Koga's voice was saying.
"She's in a band with Inuyasha and the stupid monk." (Yes people Miroku is a monk but no air void. Also he's not into it as much as in the series just a little bit of one, Descendant of one so it's in his blood.)
"Seems we have some competition in the talent show then huh?"
"No, no no Miroku not like that like this." Could be heard coming from the garage. Kagome sat down behind the drums and started playing the beat.
"And she's not a bad drum player either." Naraku said into the walkie-talkie.
"Well since you got all you can come back to the hide out. We'll be there to come up with a plan to make sure she won't be able to play." Koga said and the line at the other side went blank.
Back with the band
"I never knew you could play drums too." Inuyasha said staring in disbelief of what just happened a second ago.
"What can I say I have to have another talent and my dad taught me before he left, I was about 5 but I practiced and practiced but I'm sure you don't care so back to the song." Kagome said and picked the guitar back up.
"Let's try another song. How does that sound?" Inuyasha asked, "Do you know any Japanese?"
"Right. I know none." Kagome said.
"Ok how about, this one?" He began to play the beginning of Just like you by Three Days Grace.
"Oh hell yeah I do." She had to catch up with him but she sure as hell knew it. Miroku was just playing away at the drums. She looked at her watch again, 6:30 she had to be out of there by seven to get home. A sudden ringing of something stopped practice,
"Oh that's me sorry," Kagome said picking up the phone, "moshi, moshi?" (I think that's how it's spelled.)
"What a fucking minute you said……." Inuyasha started.
Kagome put a finger in front of her lips with a very stern look behind it.
"Oh hey Sango, yeah just practicing, do something this weekend? Yeah sure why not. Talk to ya later. Chow."
"I thought you said you didn't know Japanese?" Inuyasha said looking pissed.
"Oh it's Japanese?"
Everybody falls over anime style and Kagome just sweat drops. ;
"Well I gotta go since I didn't call Keade. Bye" Kagome said and started to walk off.
"Wait you live with Keade?" Inuyasha asked very curiously.
"Yeah why do you ask?" Kagome said turning around.
"Just wondering she used to baby-sit me on the days my mom couldn't that's all."
"Oh that's nice bye." She said and walked to her car, opened the door, and slide in. She started the ignition and drove off.
"You like her and you know it." Miroku said.
"Hell what do you know monk?" Inuyasha said turning around.
"I know all." He said and bowed.
"God Miroku you really need to get a life, and a girlfriend."
"Yeah I know and it sucks. But I still say you like her."
"Hey Miroku."
"Yeah?"
Inuyasha leaned over to his ear and whispered something, Miroku's face had a scared look and he grabbed his balls and shook his head no.
"That's what I thought." Inuyasha said and began to unplug stuff and move it.
'Who knows maybe I do.' He thought.
