6 Strings of a Guitar
Saturday night at Sango's
Kagome just stared ahead at the road, as they drew closer to Sango's she began to notice cars on both sides of the street. Kagome just parked behind one of the cars on her side of the street. She put it in park and pulled her keys out of the ignition without saying a word to Inuyasha she popped the trunk and walked into the house to get ready since she would be performing within an hour. Sango watched her as she walked up the stairs with no expression on her face.
She walked pissed off toward Inuyasha,
"What the fuck did you say to her?" She asked as Miroku walked up.
"What is it to you?" Inuyasha said walking thru the door with an amp in his arms.
"She's my friend, unlike you I actually care for her, but all you seem to care about is the fact that she looks like Kikyo. I see right thru your little act of being over her, you're not you just can't seem to let go." She said being held back by Miroku.
Inuyasha just stared at her as he walked off and set the amp down.
"What's his deal?" Sango asked Miroku.
"You said the truth to him and it pissed him off I guess."
Kagome walked downstairs into the living room and grabbed a guitar and started tuning it. Inuyasha started to walk over to her,
"Don't even come a step closer Inuyasha, after tonight and after the talent show I'm out of your stupid band. I'm just as easily replaced as Kikyo was." She said looking at the guitar instead of him while she talked. Inuyasha went into one of those episodes when the colors change and the sound of broken glass is heard.
"I.....I'm...." He started.
She just put a hand up and began tuning again,
"Don't try to say you're sorry, you haven't done anything wrong, you just can't let go of your past." She said looking into his face with tears forming in her eyes. She walked off,
"Just tell Sango when we're about to go on ok?" Inuyasha just stared at her back as she walked off.
'What the fuck have I just done?' Inuyasha thought, as he started setting- up. He couldn't help but think of Kikyo,
FLASHBACK
"Inuyasha?" She said looking up in his eyes.
"Kikyo, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I don't know exactly how to say this but I think I love you."
Kikyo breathed in really big and had a shocked look on her face,
"Oh Inuyasha I love you too." She said pulling him into a big hug.
END OF FLASHBACK
'How could I have been so stupid? She cheated on me, with Naraku. How could I love a little slut like her.' He thought plugging in the guitar to the amp.
"Hey Sango, could you go get Kagome? We're about to start." He said. She just stared at him and with a little 'humph' she walked up the stairs into her room.
"Hey Kag, we're about to go on." She said looking around the doorframe at the figure lying on the bed curled up and obviously crying.
"Ok." She said and wiped her eyes, "What am I suppose to do about my eyes?" Sango let out a sigh and walked toward her with her handy dandy make-up kit. She put counselor here and eye shadow there. She backed away from Kagome and said,
"There."
Kagome looked at herself in the mirror.
"Wow." She simply said.
She rose from the stool and walked out of the room,
'I hope she does alright.'
She walked downstairs to get looks by many; she just walked right by them and took her place next to the guitar she had tuned. She stood there and waited for everybody else to fall in and Inuyasha to get everybody attention.
"Excuse me!" He yelled but no one seemed to have heard him.
'I don't have time for this.' Kagome thought and let out a loud whistle. Everyone turned toward her direction.
"Thank you everybody for coming out tonight. We're Year of the Dog how are yall tonight?" He asked and got a roar of yells from everybody." Let me introduce everybody before we get started, I'm Inuyasha, Miroku over there is on drums and oh by the way ladies he's single!" A roar of girl's screams came after that. "Sango is over there and standing next to me is Kagome. Now that you know all of us let's get this started!!!" A roar of yells was heard yet again. Inuyasha looked at every body,
"What you do." He said saying the name of the song.
He started playing the first part then Kagome came in and Miroku lastly on drums,
"Head's on the mirror can't get much clearer, can't make this all go away. Now that you're bleeding you stare at the ceiling and watch as it all fades away. For what you do, because of you, you know I can't be there each time that you call I swore not to come but I'm here after all I know by the look that I see in your eyes I won't stand around and I won't watch you die for what you do!" He yelled at the crowd. (Think about it no mic)
After he finished that song he was breathless, he yelled at the crowd,
"So how'd you like that?" An up-roar of yells.
"Then you'll love this one." Turning to the guys in the back, "Head on collision."
Kagome came in first on this one then Miroku,
"I've been waiting for a good day, I've been holding back long enough, I've been hurting to tell you some things, it's not the falling of the temperature that's making all our bones run cold, it's the please you make the present spell when you're around me and it feel like I'm at an all time low slightly bruised and broken from our head on collision, I've never seen this side of you I know the tragic case and I'm still."
Still breathless you could tell his voice was starting to crack a little bit.
"So," He said looking at the band, "what next?"
"Can I do one?" Kagome asked. He just looked at her for a second, "Sure." He answered.
"Ok people we are going to let our very own Kagome sing us one how does that sound?" He shouted at the crowd getting the response of whistles and yells.
She looked at everybody and said, "Going Under"
She started the beat to this one and let Inuyasha play while she was singing and Miroku on drums,
"Now I will tell you what I've done for you, 50,000 tears I've cried. Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you and you still won't hear me (going under Sango in the background) don't want your hand this time I'll save myself maybe I'll wake up for once, not told and to daily defeated by you just one night until I reach the bottom, I'm dieing again, I'm going under, trailing you,(tailing you) I'm falling forever,(falling forever) I've got to break through I'm going under."
After she finished all she could do was smile everybody was yelling for her, not Inuyasha but her. After a couple more songs,
"Ok guys we're going to have to wrap it up since we all have curfuses or at least some of us do." Kagome looked at her watch, 12:30.
'God I hope Keade isn't home.' She thought getting ready for the last song.
"Miroku, Sango you guys have been great tonight but I hate to give you the boot but you guys are done for tonight, this next one is just between us Kagome." Kagome looked over at Inuyasha like he was crazy. "You said you liked this song so why not sing it?" He said handing over her guitar case.
"What song?" Kagome asked taking the case in uncertainty.
"Broken." He said and put his guitar down.
She started playing the beat to it and Inuyasha began to sing,
"I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Kagome joined in at this point,
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel light when you're gone away
Kagome began singing,
The worst is over now and we can breathe againI wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Both,
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel light when you're gone away."
And the song ended with a strum of Kagome's guitar. She exhaled, the whole room was silent. She looked over at Inuyasha who looked at her. One person began clapping, Sango then Miroku joined in then the rest of the people did. Roars of shouts could be heard. Kagome and Inuyasha took a bow, Inuyasha asked mid-bow,
"So you still want to quit?"
"I think I can put up with you just a bit longer."
Sesshomaru walked up to Inuyasha, as he was unplugging equipment,
"Hey little bro, that was awesome, and thanks to you I got a date for next weekend."
"How did I do that?"
"I'll explain it later, just put the stuff in the car ok?" He said and threw Inuyasha his keys; he walked toward a brown haired girl with a ponytail to the side of her head.
Kagome was putting her guitar back in her case when Sango ran up to her and gave her a huge hug.
"Oh Kagome you were great! And what a voice. Look out Demons, you guys are gonna get your butts beat." Little did they know a certain someone was standing outside the window watching and listening to them,
"Hey Naraku, it's Hiten, I have some serious news for you."
Kagome walked out onto the front porch at Sango's and said good-bye to everyone. She walked out to her car and popped the trunk and set her guitar case in the bottom. She dove home to notice no other car in the driveway; she unlocked the front door and slowly walked the stairs,
"This was the best night of my life." Kagome said falling into her nice soft bed. She put her hands behind her hand and stared at the ceiling, her eyes began to get heavy, so she turned out the lamp and went to sleep with one thought,
'I'm gonna be a superstar.'
A/N ok yeah that last line was corny but what do you think of it so far? I know Kagome seemed really sad but whatever I hope you enjoyed so till next time please review and I'm out!!
