Chapter 3:
"Wait!" Kikyo gasped. "Are THE Koga from the Bad Boys band?!" Kikyo asked.
"Yep." Koga asked. "Why?"
"Can I have your autograph too?" Kikyo begged as she took a autograph book out of nowhere for Koga to sign.
"Why not." Koga said as he signed the book.
Then Mayuka walked over to Inuyasha after she got all the laughing out of her system.
"So little bro...what did you need my help with?" Mayuka asked.
"We need you to sing for us." Inuyasha replied.
"But Inuyasha! That's my job!" Kikyo complained.
"It still is, we just need you to be backup singer for the battle." Inuyasha replied.
"Whatever. I'm lead singer with you or I'm gone." Kikyo said.
"Then leave Kikyo. 'Cause you're not gonna be lead singer for the Battle of the Bands!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Fine! I'll go sing for a better band than this then!" Kikyo yelled as she walked away.
"Somebody's in a bad mood." Kagome said.
"I heard that you, you wanna be!" Kikyo yelled.
"Wanna be?! Wanna be what? An old hag like you? I don't think so. Go take your sorry ass somewhere else if you don't want to be in this band. And good riddance to ya too!" Kagome yelled back.
And with that, Kikyo was gone.
"Thank god she's gone. I never thought I would get rid of her." Inuyasha sighed.
"But what are we gonna do now?" Rin asked. "We don't have a backup singer now."
"Sure you do." Mayuka said as she put her arm around Kagome. "You sound like you'd have a good singing voice."
"But I play the drums! I can't sing!" Kagome said, very surprised that she was supposed to sing with a celebrity.
"Let me take care of that." Mayuka replied. "Now why don't you get up to that microphone, and sing a little tune for us. I know that you have a good voice."
"But how?" Kagome asked.
"Let's just say, celebrities know our way around. We have our ways of getting info." Mayuka replied. "I know that your name is Kagome Higurashi. You go to Tokyo Junior High School, and you've been held back one year. You are also in all state chorus. Am I right so far?" Mayuka asked.
"How did you?" Kagome asked.
"Like I said, we can get info on anyone." Mayuka replied. "And you also take guitar lessons too, right? You can play almost any instrument given to you, and your father is one of the riches men in Japan."
"You're right. But I've never sung in a concert before." Kagome replied.
"But if you're in all state chorus, then you would think that you have a great voice. I mean, they only send one person from each school once a year to be in that chorus group." Mayuka said. "So give it a try." Mayuka said as she gave Kagome a push up to the microphone.
"But what do I sing?" Kagome asked.
"Whatever you want." Mayuka replied.
"OK." Kagome said as she grabbed the guitar. "This one is called 'Light in Your Eyes.'"
Light in your eye- Sheryl CrowSomething is happening
Everything's is different
But everything is fine
And this is the good stuff
Yesterday's only what you leave behind
It's only in your mind
You gotta talk to the one who needs you
Talk to the one who understands
Talk to the one who gave you all the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes
And no use pretending
You never existed until you saw the light
You're just beginning
You haven't missed it
It's ahead of you
And you know what to do
You gotta talk to the one who needs you
Talk to the one who understands
Talk to the one who gave you all the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes.
"Wow." Inuyasha said.
"Kagome! You never told me you could sing!" Rin yelled. "You never even told me you were in all state chorus!"
"Well, now you know." Kagome replied.
"You were great Kagome!" Sango said.
"I told you. Don't be so shy. Especially if you want to beat that crazy girl at her own game." Mayuka said. "Now! We're gonna have to figure out what songs to teach this girl. I'll find someone to do drums."
"I can do that." Koga said. "I play drums for my band."
"But your band will be in the battle too." Mayuka protested.
"The guys won't mind. Besides, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't even be a band." Koga replied.
"Fine. You can play drums." Mayuka said. "Now why don't we start teaching Kagome some of our old songs to play?"
"OK." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha! I want you to teach Kagome as many songs as possible by tomorrow night!" Mayuka said.
"Why tomorrow night?" Inuyasha asked.
"I got you guys a gig." Mayuka replied.
"WHAT?!" Kagome and Inuyasha yelled at the same time.
"Yup. I figured you guys needed some practice in front of an audience before the battle. 'Cause you guy were way too nervous last year. All you do is sty in the garage and play. You need to play in front of an audience so you won't be so nervous this time." Mayuka replied. "Unless you want the competition to kill you again this year."
"Fine. We'll play tomorrow night." Inuyasha said, and he took Kagome's hand. "Come inside so I can give you all the lines for the songs and we can work on singing them." Inuyasha said as he pulled her inside.
Then Koga walked up behind Mayuka and put his arms around her waist.
"I know what you're planning. Do you think it will work with them?" Koga asked.
"I really do. I think it would do some good for Inuyasha." Mayuka replied. Then she turned around and landed a quick kiss on Koga's lips. "Come-on. I have to teach you the drums for our music." Mayuka said as she pulled Koga over to the drums, leaving Miroku, Sango, Rin, and Sesshomaru with nothing to do. Then Mayuka popped back out of the garage. "You guys get in here too! You need as much practice as everyone!"
"I think I'll go home." Sesshomaru replied.
"Fluffy. Forgetting something?" Mayuka said, eyeing Rin.
"How did you know?" Rin asked.
"I saw you guys drive up to together, and had my agent check it out for me." Mayuka said. "You two have a good three months together!"
"This is scary. She can figure out anything she wants about anybody." Rin said as she got into the car.
"It is scary." Sesshomaru replied as he started to drive back to the apartment.
