Chapter Three
Forming the Band – Haru NatsuThe next day was when they had their little 'interview' with the big music label. Kagome was getting more nervous by the minute, making the guys a little on edge.
"God damn it, wench! Sit down, will ya!" Kagome sighed a little, sitting down on the bus bench. Her friend Ari was with her and ever since then, Sesshomaru had been acting a little weird. Well, weirder than normal, anyways.
InuYasha slowly took her hand with his, feeling her gaze on him, he blushed. "Just … calm down, will you? You're making everyone else uneasy with your constant pacing." Turning to her, he caught her smile that always floored him, making his heart pound and his stomach knot.
Kagome nodded a little, leaning against him. Sango caught this and smiled, standing when she saw the 'bus' come towards them. Everyone else rose as well, pilling onto the bus and finally arriving at a very tall building.
"Well, this is it." They nodded and all stepped inside. To her surprise, no one even looked up at them.
Everyone was shuffling about, some moving faster than others and talking. Kagome lead the way up to the front desk and cleared her throat a little, causing the person manning the desk to look up.
She smiled. "Uh … hi. We've got an … interview … thing … " The desk clerk nodded and typed something on the computer and then pressed a button, beginning to talk.
"Mr. Connelly, your twelve o'clock is here." She nodded a little and someone came up to them.
"Jason will show you to Mr. Connelly's office." The man named Jason quickly ushered everyone into an elevator, which freaked out the 'old guys'. Kagome and Ari just leaned against the walls, watching the numbers as they lit up one by one.
After their elevator ride, they walked a little ways only to be greeted by a dark-haired man with silver streaks in his hair.
"Higurashi, Kagome?" Kagome stepped up and he smiled. "I have to tell you, Miss Higurashi, we were very impressed with your video." Then, InuYasha, Kouga, Miroku, Sesshomaru and InuTashio cowered over her with not-too-happy faces on, growling slightly. Kagome smiled a guilty smile, laughing lightly and slouching a little in fear.
Before they could do anything, they were all ushered into a large room and music was put on. The guys just kind of stood, looking around and they slowly got into the beat of the music.
Then, it was Sesshomaru who started singing, making up the words as he went along. This really surprised pretty much everyone, except for Mr. Connelly, who only looked pleased, pleased and more pleased.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
The lot of them, sat in a very posh office, waiting for Mr. Connelly and the other board members to finish talking. Someone opened the door and ushered them inside. Kagome stood, her heart pounding, hoping for the best.
"We're glad to accept you to Fuyu Records." The girls shouted in glee and hugged each other, jumping around in excitement. The guys just covered their ears, looking at one another.
They made it? They passed? They had been accepted?
In a fit of excitement, Sango threw her arms around Miroku, kissing him passionately. The monk was quite surprised and taken aback but he slowly gave in to the passion, putting his arms around her waist. After a minute, Sango pulled back, blushing madly.
Kagome saw this and giggled a little.

The next day, Kagome answered the door in her usual attire, only to be greeted by Mr. Connelly. Kagome blinked a little bit, stepping back and holding the door open.
"Mr. Connelly, come in." Once he was in, she closed the door.
"What brings you here?" The older man grinned a little, looking around.
"Training, my dear. They are quite skilled but they do need to learn some choreography. Since they were such a big hit, we decided to make a demo video and release it on television. If all goes well, then we'll start making an album." Kagome was shocked. She didn't expect it to start so fast.
"Already? Wow … well … I'll go get everyone then." He nodded a little and then picked up a sweet scent coming from the kitchen. Letting his nose guide him, he came across the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She wasn't beautiful like most girls but … she still was, in a strange way. A more … homely way, he supposed.
Mrs. Higurashi looked up and looked right into Mr. Connelly's eyes and blushed a deep pink. She hadn't blushed in years and here she was, blushing like a schoolgirl again! He most certainly was attractive, though, she had to admit.
"Hello there." He said politely, walking further into the kitchen and stepping up to the stove where she was doing some cooking.
"What smells so good?" He asked, sniffing the air and letting out a satisfied sigh with a smile. Mrs. Higurashi blushed again and giggled a little.
"It's just a little something for my daughter and her friends. You must be Mr. Connelly." He looked up with his gorgeous blue eyes and smiled, nodding.
"I don't know if I caught your name yet, Mrs. … ?" Mrs. Higurashi blushed again, giggling a little.
"It's Ms., Mr. Connelly. Hisa Higurashi." He smiled a little, looking at her.
"What a beautiful name. I am Kei Connelly." Before they could get any closer, Kagome came down and into the kitchen, stopping in her tracks and blinking.
"Um … Mom … ?" Ms. Higurashi looked from the attractive man's eyes and at her daughter, blinking and blushing again.
"Oh, Kagome. You know Mr. Connelly, right?" Kagome nodded.
"Yeah, I was going to introduce you guys but I see that it's already taken care of."
