Author's Note: ¡Hola! ¿Cómo estas? Sorry, I'm in a Spanish mood. Okay, so how's your peoples week? Me, busy. I feel like crap right now but that's not stopping me from doing this chapter! I found out I suck at push ups. I got 21 but now my arms are KILLING me.
Well, I've counted up how many chapters this story might actually have and so far, I've got 35. :);;;;;; But if I find more songs, we'll have more.
You guys can thank Harpy for half of the new songs I got and the new bad guy I made up ::insert evil grin here::. She let me borrow her Avril cd Under My Skin and now I'm listening to it nonstop. I'm gonna buy it soon. The point is, I'm using like, half of those songs soon because of the new bad guy ::insert evil grin here:: I'll give you a hint: You have no idea who it is. ;)
Okay, I figured out how the ending will be and I'll tell you right now, there will be a epilogue and the whole last chapter has been decided. And I know you guys are gonna like it! ;)
Dedication: To Ash, the crazed Inu person (but not as crazy as me! BWHAHAHAHAHA!), and to SeXyEyez, thanks for the wonderful pictures! They rock!! HOTCHA! ;) Oh and to Harpy for the idea. Plus I don't own any of the songs... darn, I don't own anything do I?

Last Time...
InuYasha shook his head fiercely, ridding his mind of thoughts of a certain clay pot. He wouldn't think of that bitch ever again. Never ever again.
Chapter 14
YMCA
"Okay guys and gals!" Kramer cried into the microphone, "How about we have some fun!? Get dancing!"
"What do you think he's planning?" Yuka asked Kagome as they reentered the gym. The girls had taken a bathroom break while the guys talked.
Kagome didn't get a chance to reply though. When she walked in, the first thing she saw was InuYasha. And he was laughing at something one of the guys said. Kagome smiled widely. He was actually acting like a real teenager. She was glad he was having fun.
"Kagome?" Yuka said again, this time catching the girls attention. The girls had arrived at where the boys were standing.
"Oh! Sorry Yuka. What did you say?"
"What do you think Kramer is up to?"
"Something stupid no doubt." As if by magic, the music for the next song came on, and to Kagome's horror and amusement at the same time, it was the YMCA.
Glancing at InuYasha, she smiled, 'This is going to be interesting,' she thought as the teenagers headed back over to the dance floor.
Young Man
There's no need to feel down
I said, Young Man
Get yourself off the ground
I said, Young Man
'Cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
InuYasha was already confused. Was the guy in the song talking to him? He didn't feel down. He was actually having fun. And he actually laughed a few minutes ago at what Michieru had said about Hojo. He wasn't unhappy.
Young Man
There's a place you can go
I said, Young Man
When you're short on your dough
You can stay there
And I'm sure you will find,
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel
At the word YMCA, everyone surrounding InuYasha began jumping up and down, making strange symbols with their hands. InuYasha, standing in the middle of the crowd, was baffled at why they would do such things.
"Come on InuYasha!" Kagome cried, "Just do what I do!"
Young Man - Are you listening to me?
I said, Young Man
What do you wanna' be?
I said, Young Man
You can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing
'My dreams? What do I wanna be? What do I need to know?'
No man
Does it all by himself
I said, Young Man
Put your pride on the shelf
And just go there
To the YMCA
I'm sure they can help you today
'I don't need anyone's help!' InuYasha thought before hearing the statement about putting your pride on a shelf. InuYasha growled softly, 'Well... I guess Miroku has come in handy sometimes. And the puny wolf Koga did help out sometimes, even if I hate to admit it.'
It's fun to stay at the YMCA

This time, InuYasha tried copying Kagome. He got the jumping up and down part pat, but the hand symbols still eluded him.
The second time the word was said, InuYasha stopped jumping up and down and studied Kagome's hands. It seemed she was making some odd symbol.
Suddenly, he realized it. The word that they all shouted was Y-M-C-A. So, they were probably making a Y, M, C, and A. But those were not Japanese, that was for sure.

"It's a American song InuYasha! The words are in another language called English!" Kagome screamed over the loud music, "It's in the other language! Let me show you!" Kagome showed him the symbols again before taking his hands and making them with his, like a mother playing with her child. InuYasha blushed softly and Kagome smiled.
"Just do that! Watch me!"
Young Man
I was once in your shoes
I said, I was
Down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared that I were alive
I felt the whole world was so tired
That's when
Someone came up to me
And said, Young Man
Take a walk up the street
It's a place there
Called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
This time, InuYasha actually got it. He was able to jump up and down and do the movements, maybe a bit awkwardly, but he did them nonetheless. Kagome smiled brightly at him and InuYasha felt himself well up with pride.
YMCA
Its fun to stay at the
YMCA
Young Man, Young Man
There's no need to feel down
Young Man, Young Man
Pick yourself off the ground
YMCA
And just go to the
YMCA
Young Man, Young Man
I was once in your shoes
Young Man, Young Man
I was down with the blues
The music slowed and soon it stopped completely. Kagome smiled at InuYasha and he smiled back at her. However, just the thought of the dance he just did, made Kagome burst out laughing and soon InuYasha and the others joined her.
"Well, as you can tell, I'm not the best dancer," InuYasha said, laughing at his own mental picture of the freaky and odd dance he just did. Everyone else just merely laughed.
"Kagome," InuYasha asked after they had all calmed down. He had pulled her to the side so that the others wouldn't hear.
"Yeah?"
"What was this America and Eng-o-lish you were talking about?"
"Oh that. You see, Spain, they-"
"What's Spain?"
Kagome sighed. 1497 really was a long time ago.
Thinking it over before she spoke, she replied, "Well, it's another country. You see, they wanted to find more gold to make them stronger, so they sent sailors in boats over the ocean to try and find it. Do you understand so far?"
InuYasha nodded. He wasn't going to ask how a small boat was going to be bale to cross the huge ocean.
"Well, they found land. There they met other people called Indians. Anyway, now, in my time, that land is called North and South America. In North America, there are two countries. They're called Canada and the United States of America. That song came from the Untied States. Are you still with me?"
And again, InuYasha nodded. He actually understood this part.
"Now, they have their own language. It's called English."
"Eng-o-lish?"
"No, English. It's one of the hardest languages to learn. In that song, you form the English letters Y, M, C, and A. And today, you learned how to do that."
"It's too confusing for me," InuYasha said, folding his arms.
"You mean I just explained everything to you and you didn't understand any of it?!" Kagome cried, "You said you understood it!!"
InuYasha, glancing at her mad face, smiled and quickly enveloped her in a hug. He felt Kagome stiffen at first but then she relaxed in his safe arms.
"I understood it all. Some things I have questions on, but I won't bother you with them." Kagome smiled. She knew he had thousands and millions of questions he wanted to ask her.
"InuYasha," she whispered softly.
"Yes?"
"I love you."
InuYasha was silent for a few seconds and Kagome smiled as she felt him place a soft kiss on the top of her forehead.
"I love you too Kagome."
Author's Note: Fun, fun, fun! Hope you guys enjoyed that chappy. The usual length.
Okay, two things: 1. we're learning about explorers in history now (yuck!) so I'm 95.6% sure about the things Kagome said. If you've got a complaint, save it cuz I don't care. 2. The things she said about the song, I actually have no clue who made that song. If it wasn't originally from the states, sorry.
I don't know why, but at my school, whenever they play this song, everyone jumps up and down. It may just be my school, others may do it too, but that's just how freaky my school is. ;)
I just realized I don't know if kids in Japan do the YMCA but who gives a crap. Not me, and hopefully not you.
Okay, this was a semi-short authors note... for once.
Oh and don't forget: No reviews, No chapters! ;)
