Chapter 2: "M.I.T."

By: Ka-Youaki

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG

"C'mon! We're almost there!" Kagome said.

"Maybe you have forgotten, but I have a guitar to carry!" Rin said.

"Hurry!" Sango said.

When they found the right room, they pushed through the heavy doors. The room was a large auditorium. At one wall, there was a stage with dark red curtains. There was a backstage, and rows of seats filled the rest of the room.

The class wasn't small, but it wasn't big, either. The group they meet earlier was there. The juniors, sophomores, and seniors all sat together. The freshmen sat together far away from everyone else.

"I don't think the teacher's here," Kagome whisper.

"Wrong, Ms. Higurashi," a deep male voice said.

"But how-" Kagome was confused. How did he know her name?

"Your middle school teacher told me that you were always late for class," the teacher said. He was wearing a gray suit with a white undershirt and red tie. And fancy shoes.

"What? I was…" Kagome started.

"Yeah, you were," Rin and Sango said at the same time.

"Please, ladies, take a seat," the teacher said walking to the stage.

The three girls sat with the freshmen, which included Ayame, Kanna, Kagura, Jakutso, Mukostsu, Ginkotsu, Suikotsu, Renkotsu, and Shippo. There were also others they really didn't know.

He stood on the stage, "Welcome to Musically Inclined Talent class. I am Mr. Bankutso. You can call me Mr. B for short. For you who have had this class before, you know how things go. Freshmen listen carefully, all I want from you in this class is to have fun. You either sing, play an instrument, anything musical. But, because of recent problems, all freshmen have to be tested. Meaning, you have to sing or play something for me, and then I'll tell you if you pass or not. Got it?" Mr. Bankutso finished.

"Now, your middle school music teacher says you all played together. But now, you play separate; in bands, and so on. Your teacher gave me the list of you, and how I should test you. You all bought what you need for your performances, right? Ok, first up…Jakutso," Mr. Bankutso said walking off the stage.

"Now we understand why we needed to bring all that stuff," Sango said to Rin and Kagome. They nodded in agreement.

Jakutso went on stage with a microphone, and "Mr. Lonely" by Akon started playing.

"Guys, he's choking," Kagome said worried.

Rin grabbed their hands, "C'mon. We need to help him."

They stood in front the stage, and started clapping to the beat of the music. And he started singing. They started dancing, and the rest of the freshmen stood up, and danced with them.

Lonely I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody,
For my own
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody,
For my own
I'm so lonely,

Yo this one here goes out to all my playas out there ya know got that one good girl whose always been there like ya know took all the bullshit then one day she cant take it no more and decides to leave

I woke up in the middle of the night and I noticed my girl wasn't by my side, coulda sworn I was dreamin, for her I was feelin, so I hadda take a little ride, back tracking ova these few years, tryna figure out wat I do to make it go bad, cuz ever since my girl left me, my whole life came crashin

(Chorus) I'm so lonely (so lonely),
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)

To call my own (to call my own) girl

(Chorus)

Cant belive I hadda girl like you and I just let you walk right outta my life, after all I put u thru

u still stuck around and stayed by my side, what really hurt me is I broke ur heart, baby you were a good girl and I had no right, I really wanna make things right, cuz without u in my life girl

Rin stopped dancing, and walked over to Miroku, who was with the others.

"Yo. Kagome and Sango have the same class next, but I have a different one. And, I don't know where to go," Rin said sitting backwards, facing Miroku, in the seat in front of him.

"What's your next class?" he asked.

"History. Room 105," Rin said from memory.

"I have to go the opposite direction. Hmm….." Miroku thought.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Been all about the world ain't neva met a girl that can take the things that you been through

Never thought the day would come where you would get up and run and I would be out chasing u

Cuz aint nowhere in the globe id rather be, aint noone in the globe id rather see then the girl of my dreams that made me
Be so happy but now so lonely

"I can take her," a deep male voice said. He had long silver hair, and golden eyes. He looked just like the guy in the hall that was with Kikyo. That same guy (who was in the hall) was sitting next to him.

"Sure?" Rin asked.

He nodded, "I don't have a class next. I volunteered to help at the library, and it's that way," he said.

"Okay. Thanks, um….." Rin didn't know his name.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Never thought that id be alone, I didnt hope you'd be gone this long, I jus want u to call my phone, so stop playing girl and Come on home (come on home), baby girl I didn't mean to shout, I want me and you to work it out, I never wished Id ever
Hurt my baby, and its drivin me crazy cuz...

"Sesshoumaru," he said.

"Oh, okay. Thanks, Sesshomaru," Rin walked back to the group, and started dancing again.

"And you did that why?" the guy next to him asked.

"What do you mean, Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru wondered.

"Never mind," Inuyasha said.

(Chorus)

I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
To call my own (to call my own) girl

Lonely, so lonely
So lonely, (so lonely),
Mr. Lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, (so lonely), Mr. Lonely

The freshmen cheered for Jakutso as he left the stage.

"Nice job, Jakutso," Mr. B said, "Now, Kagome and Rin."

"Just us two?" Kagome asked.

"Yup," Mr. B said.

The two walked on stage. Kagome saw Souta in the back. He waved to her, and she smiled.

"What song do you want to do?" Rin asked. "Piano or guitar? Either is fine with me."

"Piano, I guess," Kagome said.

Luckily, there was a piano already on the stage. Mr. B probably figured that no one had a way to get a piano to school.

"Breathe no more?" Kagome asked.

"Yup. Sounds good to me," Rin said sitting at the piano. She played a quick scale, and nodded to Kagome.

"Ready," Rin said. Kagome sat on a stool put on the stage for her, put the microphone to her mouth, and started singing.

I've been walking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter

But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

'Wow! She's really good!' Inuyasha thought. 'And pretty hot. Where did that come from? I'm just…going to stop thinking now.'

I take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet how can you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.

And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.

So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no...

Bleed,

I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe no more.

Everyone cheered. Even the other older teens somewhat cheered. Souta was cheering with all his might. The two walked off stage.

Everyone else performed. Ayame, Mukostsu, Ginkotsu, and Renkotsu performed the Blackeyed Peas song "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Sango, Kanna, and Kagura performed "Your Rain." Suikotsu and Shippo performed "Papercut" by Linkin Park.

"Good news. You all passed!" Mr. B cheered. All the freshmen cheered and clapped.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG

"She you all tomorrow!" Mr. B called after his students.

"Sesshoumaru! Wait up!" Rin called after him. He stopped, and waited for her to catch up.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yup. Ready for history!" Rin said.

"I'm guessing that was sarcasm," Sesshoumaru said smiling.

"Yup!" Rin said smiling widely.

'Why does her smile do this to me?' Sesshoumaru thought as he listened to her talk.

"I've played the drums for 'bout…" Rin started.

"Wait, you play drums?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Rin wondered.

"I do, too," he replied.

"Really? Cool! I guess we have something in common then," she said smiling.

'That smile again! It's driving me so freakin' crazy!' he thought.

"Here it is. It looks like you are early, either that or everyone else is lost," Sesshoumaru suggested.

"Well, none of them had such a wonderful tour guide like I did," Rin said. She winked at him, and walked into the classroom.

Sesshoumaru put a hand to his face, 'Am I blushing?' he thought. He walked to the library in a daze.


The day went by just like in middle school. Everyone found their classes…sooner or later. Everyone had at least one or two classes with each other. They didn't have any hard homework. Just stuff like get this signed or bring these supplies, so on.

Kagome had stayed after the bell that signaled everyone to go home for a little while. She was at the library looking for something, but she wasn't quite sure what to look for.

She went to her locker to put away her books. She was leaving when she saw the silver haired guy from the morning. When she walked past him, he stopped her.

"You're Kagome, right?" he asked.

"Yeah. And you are?" Kagome wondered.

"Inuyasha. Nice to meet ya," he said closing his locker.

"Ditto. Why are you still here?" she asked.

"Detention," he said simply.

"Detention! On the first day! What did you do?" she asked shocked as they started walking toward the exit.

"I told my history teacher to go screw himself," Inuyasha said shifting his bag on his shoulder. Kagome just laughed.

'She has a beautiful laugh…wow there…stop thinking like that!' he thought to himself.

"So…what do you play? Like in a band and stuff…" Kagome asked.

'Smooth Kagome…real smooth.' she thought.

"And stuff…?" he smiled as she blushed, "Well…I sing, and play guitar."

"Me, too!" Kagome said smiling.

"You play guitar?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yup! Souta taught me how," Kagome remembered, "He'd give up an hour of his time everyday to help me. And, he was FREE!" They both burst into laughter.

"Can I ask you something?" Kagome said sheepishly.

"Yeah," Inuyasha responded. 'Here it comes…' he thought.

"You're a demon, right?" she asked.

"Huh? Yeah…hanyou, actually," he corrected. "You didn't notice?"

"Notice what?" Kagome asked confused.

Inuyasha pointed to the top of his head, "My dog ears."

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! THEY'RE SO CUTE!" Kagome said jumping up and down.

Inuyasha just laughed, and Kagome joined him. Kagome found out that Inuyasha only lived a few streets away from her and Souta.

'Maybe this day wasn't so bad…' Kagome thought listening to Inuyasha talk about his band.


A/N: Okay! That's all for now! Something surprising will happen in the next chapter! Ohhhhhhhhhhh…………..what could it be?

Oh, and let me add that the Band of Seven are all regular humans, with no real powers. Just wanted to clear that up. All of them are related. The teacher and the freshmen, that is. I'll mention that in a later chapter.

The songs are "Mr. Lonely" by Akon and "Breathe No More" by Evanescence. And I know that it's hard to picture Jakutso singing Mr. Lonely, but bare with me. That was the sond I was listening to when I was typing this chapter.

Anyway...PLZ REVIEW!

Next chapter: Why Me?
