I don't own Inu & co. and I don't own this song. Tracy Chapman owns it.
I won't be able to update for a while. I'm going away for another week. I'm so sorry! I'll update if I can, I promise.
Speaking of which, the music that I'm listening to while I write this is For My Lover, which is by her. I know, I'm weird. But hey, what can I say. I like Evanescence, and I like Folk. I'm weird that way.
Today I realized that at this point, Mario, KK, Blake and H aren't anything like the people I first based them on. They're their own people now. So I take it all back.
Sesshomarufangurl: I know what you mean about minion armies. THEY NEVER LISTEN! Scowls at the dead bodies of her army. I'm telling you! All those dark evil necromancer spells for nothing! I'm so happy that you reviewed! Arigatou!
A.C.D.
Kagome wiped a faint trickle of sweat of her brow. The second part of the performance had been easier then the first half, yes, but it definitely was still hard. These songs had involved lots of moving around, and all Kagome really actually wanted to do was go out into the audience and dance with Inuyasha. And now she could. Kagome smiled happily.
"Thank god." She heard Jenny mutter from beside her. Kagome turned to look at her.
"I am never going to do another live performance again." Kagome told Jenny. Jenny just laughed and clapped Kagome on the back heartily, but not hard enough to hurt.
"I know what you mean." She said wearily, cutting her laughter short and making her face bland. Next to them Blake chuckled as he started to pack away his instrument.
"Come on you guys, it wasn't that bad." He said. The two girls just threw him withering glances.
"Aren't we supposed to have stage crew to this junk?" KK muttered as they all began to pack up their instruments.
"Budget cuts." Explained H, as he had just come back to the stage. "Kagome, why does your school have so many random rooms every where?" He asked. Kagome hated him though, so she just walked past him towards Sango and Miroku. She had yet to say hello to them. So Jenny answered for her.
"You mean the class rooms?" She asked.
"Oh yeah…!"
"Bloody moron." Everyone muttered.
Five minutes later it was all cleaned up and Miroku and Sango had been briefed on dancing. It was agreed that Al would take Rin and Shippo home as well, as now the two children were yawning and resting their heads sleepily on each other's shoulders. So, despite their protests that they weren't tired in the least Al drove them both home.
"Be good for Al, okay Shippo?" Kagome asked him as she clipped him into his seat and kissed him on the forehead.
"Right Mommy." He said, happiness, contentment and sleepiness potent on his voice. Kagome smiled softly and hugged him to her heart before letting him go and stepping back as Sesshomaru and Jenny said good night to Rin together.
"'Night, kid." Said Inuyasha awkwardly from behind her. Shippo's eyes snapped open and he grinned happily at Inuyasha.
"Thanks Inuyasha! Good night to you too!" Said the little kitsune as the door shut and the car sped off back to the Sunset Shrine, where the two would be sleeping that night.
Kagome looked around. Sango and Miroku were arguing, Jenny and Sesshomaru were arguing, and the Three Stooges, as she had heard Jenny call them on numerous occasions, were laughing at the other four.
"Inuyasha…" she said hesitantly. She felt him stiffen besides her.
'This is it…' Inuyasha thought. 'She's going to say that it was just a spur of the moment thing and that she didn't mean it! Or she's going to ask me to turn human for her! I'll do it, but I was hoping that she wouldn't ask! She said she liked me as a hanyou!'
"We need to talk." Kagome said softly and she took his hands and pulled him back into the building through the stage door. She pulled him into a classroom, without noticing that Inuyasha had the expression of a man walking to the gallows, and neither of them realizing that Miroku and Sango were following them.
"What's going on?" Sango asked Miroku.
"I don't know." He answered.
"We do." Came Sesshomaru's voice from behind them. The pair whirled around guiltily and found Jenny and Sesshomaru standing behind them and holding hands. Jenny was smiling calmly at them while Sesshomaru merely looked at the wall above their heads with his ever-expressionless expression.
"It's the one thing that no one should ever spy on. The A.C.D." Said Jenny.
"A.C.D?" Miroku asked as they all followed her back to the gym floor.
"After Confession Discussion. A.C.D." Jenny explained.
"Oh." Sango said.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome began as she sat on the top of a desk. Inuyasha refused to sit down and instead he stood in front of her with a sad look on his face.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said, frantic to put off her request or rejection. "How long?" He asked, inwardly wincing at his pathetic question. If she had a rejection then his words would only hasten it. As you can see Inuyasha had some acceptance problems.
"…" Kagome didn't have to ask about what he meant, she knew perfectly well, but she did have to think about. "I think I've loved you since you saved me from Yura, but I've known that I love you since…Kikyo." She said the name softly and she looked away from him as she said it, a faint blush spreading over her cheeks. Inuyasha blinked, and then a happy grin spread across his own face.
"She's gone." He said. "She left. At least she had the decency to leave when I told her too." He said, and then laughed when he saw that Kagome was staring at him in shock. "I think that I've loved you ever since the night that you saw me in my hanyou form for the first time. I think that I've wanted you since we first met, and I've known that I loved you since the first time with…Kikyo." Inuyasha, after finishing his words, just stared at Kagome. He hadn't said the name of his former lover with hesitation and fear like Kagome had, instead he simply had to remember to say it, he was so transfixed by the look on Kagome's face as she stepped closer to him.
"Want?" She asked in a low voice. Inuyasha blushed heatedly.
"Umm…" He began but Kagome just laughed and placed a single finger over his mouth.
"I love you." She told him. "Very much. Too much." She said and then she kissed him. Inuyasha sighed into her lips and, smiling all the while, kissed her back.
They were both very, very happy.
Out on the dance floor Jenny was wrapping her arms around Sesshomaru's neck as they danced to the slow song that was playing in their ears and dancing in the air around them.
"So, I go away for one hundred years and you somehow manage to start Civil War." She asked him, one eyebrow rose.
"I didn't start it!" He protested. "Naraku did!"
"Speaking of which, tell me more about this Naraku." She asked him. So Sesshomaru explained the battle, in more detail then Kagome had.
Near by, but on the wall Sango and Miroku were feeling very awkward.
"Um, would you care to dance, Lady Sango?" Miroku asked. Sango tossed him a sharp glare.
"Fine…" She said slowly after a moments thought. "But if your hands go anywhere I don't want them I'll make sure that you don't wake up tomorrow morning." She informed him as the started their very first attempts at modern dance. Unknown to them they were drawing quite a lot of attention.
"I don't know whether I should be worried, or if I should just laugh…" KK said as he watched, along with about ten other people, the couple trip over their own feet yet again. Miroku and Sango really didn't know how to dance.
"Just laugh." Said Blake, smirking.
"If there was any nice person who was willing to stand up for them right now, they would probably tell us to take a picture right about now." Said Mario in a very unconcerned way.
"Excellent idea Mario." Said H happily as he took out a camera and snapped a frame just as Miroku and Sango both fell backward for some unknown reason, looking suspiciously like two unfortunate victims in a banana peel cartoon.
"You're a freak." Blake told him.
"Shut up." H replied, making a face of dislike in his direction.
"When can we go back home?" KK asked.
"Jenny says that we can leave for a little while next week." Mario told him.
"Good!"
"Do you even know where it is now?" Blake asked him.
"What are you morons blabbering about?" H asked them.
"That weird house of Jenny's that moves around." Explained Mario.
"Oh, that thing." Said H.
"No, I don't know where it is. Do you?" Asked KK sarcastically, he wasn't really expecting an answer, but Mario gave him one anyway.
"It's in its original spot." Said Mario.
"You mean we have to go back? I want to leave, not spend more time here!" KK whined.
"Oh shut up, it's mostly your fault anyway!" Snapped Blake.
"Shut up."
"You shut up."
"No, you shut up."
"No! You shut up!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" Mario and H screamed, earning the table where they all sat drinking punch many odd glances.
"…Creeps." Blake and KK muttered, though they both looked in the opposite direction. Mario sighed.
"I'm bored." He announced.
