A/n: Hi everyone!! I'm back!! Thanks for the reviews, and I hope you like this one too. One of my reviewers wanted to put one of my stories on her website! Thanks!! And again-I'm glad everyone's being patient with me and my updating.

Grammar: IS it that bad?

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. You know I'm getting really tired of typing the same shit over and over. It's only so many ways you can say it.

TokyoXprss ( think you meant Xpress, I'm not sure) I just saw the movie "Passion of Christ" so I'm not going to get mad and curse you out like I usually do with rude reviewers. Consider yourself lucky ^_^!! But I do appreciate the offer of taking one of your ideas. I'd rather stick to my own if you don't mind, and you'll just have to wait on the ending like everyone else! One thing does concern me. You say your some type of expert on writing yet you have none online because of some crap about you putting it in a book....I don't know I stopped reading it. My point is, there's no need to lie darlin. Lies do not become us. If you don't like my writings that's fine. I hope you enjoy someone else's. May I suggest one? Read, "Pirate Pash" by Sorena. I love her fiction. Anything else? Oh yeah, don't write negative things and expect me e-mail you. Please. If you want to be humiliated, that's fine but I don't do it in private. Like I said before, you're lucky!!! Have a good day now !_!



! Albright then. Now that I've taken care of that reviewer, this is to my others: Do you agree with TokyoXprss ((By the, you go to the mall, BEST place to get Chinese food))? Do you think I'm not doing my job((I would HIGHLY consider this as VOLUNTEER)), or well at least? I find this very important. Because if you do share the same opinion, I'll save all of this the trouble and never type another story again. RSVP if you want chapter 12!!! (I know I said I would never bribe you, but this is crucial!)

Thanks to all that reviewed, and I'm glad most of you are still reading. To all that have put me on their favorites, and waiting list, LOVE YOU GUYS/GIRLS!!! Really cheers a chick UP!!!!! ^.~

Chapter Eleven__Secrets, and regrets.

Two weeks later....

Everything was back to normal. The populars' downsizing the commoners, Kouga with an unhappy Ayame under his shoulders, Kikyou with her smug ways acting like she was all high and mighty, clinging on to Inuyasha like he was her favorite teddy bear, and Inuyasha avoiding his problems completely, holding his emotions behind a mask of self control.

Kagome sighed. Diachi had gotten them the audition at the Shrine, and none of them had been able to get together and write music. Emi was in her own world, shuttering everyone out, Zinan was almost never around, Miyaku was being all secretive, having somewhere to go every damn second of the day, and the lovely couple, Shiju and Diachi, have been so wrapped up in their world of love, to even notice anything else. Xavior had went to Memphis for some type of interview, but promised to be back before their performance. So that left her all by herself, yet again.

She hadn't went to Diachi's party either. Mainly because it was the Saturday after she had been humiliated at the club Friday, and refused to show her face again.

If there was one good thing that ever came out of school it was a free period. It gave Kagome time to think. 'Think about how I ever let myself fall for Inuyasha.' Hearing the sound of a guitar, she made her way to the gym.

Sitting on the bottom row of the bleachers, was Iyan with guitar in hand. Kagome smirked at the extremely cute guy she had grew up with. She could honestly say Iyan was a free spirit by heart.

He had two earrings in his left ear, and one on his right. Wearing a hoodie, and black jeans, he sat quite comfortable, his timberlands were tucked under him as he played a few strings, pausing to think about each set of chords.

Kagome took a seat next to him, running her hands through his soft head of curls. 'I forgot how comfortable it is just to be with him.' Iyan jumped, slightly surprised that someone was next to him. He smiled at Kagome, then continued playing on his guitar.

"So, haven't seen you in a while....How have you been?" She asked. He shrugged. "Not good, but noone ever said life was easy. My father is complaining on how I'm wasting my life on music. Talkin some bullshit about going into the family business.... How about you? I heard about that asshole Inuyasha."

Kagome felt something swell up in her throat. "Yeah....well..." They were silent for a while, before Kagome noticed his guitar, needing a desperate scapegoat from crying.

"I never knew you played guitar." It was then Kagome realized that she didn't know a lot about Iyan. Everyone just sorta took him for granted. Kagome felt real guilty just then. She had been putting her own selfish wants before her friends.

'I swear to god I need a fuckin reality check.' "Yeah. I've written a few songs I guess." "So, what have you got so far?" Iyan flushed with uneasiness. "I can't really play that well...just a few thoughts here and there."

Kagome nodded. He had every right to keep his personal thoughts to himself, but this was her friend, and she had a lot of making up to do.

"How long have we been friends Iyan?" "Since I stole your jell-O desert in fifth grade." She rolled her eyes toward the sky at his answer. "Right. I promise, what goes on here is just between me and you."

Iyan thought for second. "Shake on it?" Kagome nodded. "Deal." The two did their little handshake, with a move off of the little rascals. ((The little under the chin wave!!! IT's so cute)) Iyan positioned his fingers on the guitar, steadying himself. Kagome noticed he wore a silver band on his right thumb, and a spiked one on his left middle finger.

Iyan played some notes on the guitar, Kagome liking it already. She closed her eyes, listeing to the melody. Then she heard singing. Iyan's singing.

I don't want to be

Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately

All I have to do

Is think of me and I have peace of mind

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms

Wondering what I've got to do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't want to be anything other than me

Kagome's jaw dropped to the floor. "Iyan!!" She couldn't even finish her sentence. Iyan frowned. "I knew I shouldn't have said anything. Shit I know it sucks."

Running his hands through his hair, he let out a breath of frustration. Kagome jumped from the bleachers, hugging the life out of him. "Man that was great!! I never knew you were so talented!!!"

He shrugged. "If you say so. After listening to you so long, it's kind of hard not to pick up on something." Kagome smiled. "What do you say, you do the opening act for us at the 'Shine'?"

Iyan paled. "N-no. I can't! I'm the background person." "I know, and it's about time we gave you a chance to be in the spot light." "B-but the songs not even finished!" "So?! We'll help you with it! That's what a band's about."

With a sigh, Iyan finally gave in. There was no getting past get. IF Kagome said he was playing, then he was playing. "Alright." Her face lit up like a Christmas tree. He couldn't help himself. He burst into laughter.

When Kagome realized what he was at, she rolled her eyes, but kept the kool-aid smile. Looking at her watching, she frowned. She only had ten more minutes of freedom, and she had to go to her locker on the other side of the school, and get her history book from Sango. She regretted going to that class. It was the one she shared with Kikyou and Inuyasha.

"Alright, I gotta go, call me later okay?" Iyan smirked. "Okay. Seeya." Kagome picked up her bag and walked down the hall, opposite of how she came in, and out of the gym-only to bump into.... 'Great....'

!@!@!@@!



Sango sat on Miroku's lap in the library, reading a magazine, while he listened to his CD player. He hardly saw her all last week, because she was doing some 'family' events. She claimed it was her mother's idea, seeing as how they weren't that close.

"So are you and your family busy tonight?" Sango stiffened at his question. They had been awfully close in the past month. VERY close. "Umm...I think my mother wants to go out to the new Cajan restaurant downtown. Why?"

Miroku sighed. "Nothing. Just wondering." How much bonding could a mother and daughter do?!! He wanted to actually have a chance to go out with his girlfriend. If he wanted to just see her in school, he would suggested that they just be friends.

Sango heard the disappointment in his voice and felt something tug at her. She knew she had been unfair to Miroku, he was trying his best not to get upset.

'I'm sorry Miroku...I'm just not ready.' Sango glanced down at the table, watching his hands drum on the table. Was Miroku starting to loose interest in her?

'I don't see why not. I'm never with him, and these little tramps at this school can just....' Not thinking about it anymore, she took his hand in hers.

"I'll....I'll try to get out of it this weekend." Miroku smiled, kissing her hand. "That's all I wanted to hear." Sango let out a shaky breath and managed to give a weak smile.

!@!@!@!@!

Kagome stared at Inuyasha, wishing like hell that she'd gone back the way she came. He didn't smile, or frown, and it was scaring her even more so.

Feeling her book bag slip, she pushed it back on her shoulder and shoved her way past him. Inuyasha grabbed her arm, pulling her back to him. Kagome flinched just the slightest bit when her body echoed against the lockers.

"Fuck off Inuyasha." He couldn't respond. For some reason the words wouldn't form a sentence. An apology. He slowly released her arm, staring at her the entire time.

Kagome watched in sheer amazement as his eyes changed from anger to grief. Like he'd just lost a loved one. Their stare was broken when he looked down to the floor, his bangs coving his eyes, making a shadow over his face.

Inuyasha kept his eyes to the floor, not having the courage to look her in the eyes any longer. He saw everything and nothing at the same time. Hatred, pain, disgust, betrayal...all results from him.

Hearing footsteps, his head snapped back to see Kagome's figure retreating. Now he had to find a way to get her back. "Yeah, like that'll happen."

A great source of anger rose in him, and he took it out on the lockers, till there was a dent in it the size of a watermelon, and his fists were blue and black.

!@!@!@!@!@!@!@

Kikyou stood at the airport, wearing her designer shades. A man with long hair, death blue eyes, and all black stared back at her. "Naraku, it's been a while." The handsome man nodded, in agreement. "Too long niece."

The bell carrier took his bags to her car. Neither of them speaking another word.

EOC!!!!!!!~~~

((A/n: Okay you guys, the eleventh chapter. That song was "I don't Wanna" by Gavin DeGraw [it's the theme song to *One Tree Hill*]–I'm sorry, but I fell in love with that song, and Chad Michael Murry is just... (sigh) I had to put it into my fic, because it was the perfect personality for Iyan. ^.^!! If you wanna here it, go to this site; THey won't let me show the site, so go to my profile!! you'll find it at the homepage thing!! I love it!

As the story progresses, you'll see Kagome become even more depressed, and it'll make you cry, because Inuyasha is going to break too, not to mention talking to someone he never thought he would. We're going to go along on Miroku's date with Sango, and find out what's wrong with Emi. THEN we're gonna find out more with the baby, uncle Naraku, and the dance. Does that sound good?! Thanks you guys for everything!! Don't forget to review!!! Ja ne! Lazydoll~))
