Young and Hopeless
Next mourning
Nine days before the show!
"beep……beep……BEEP!" The annoying alarm went off. She shut it off but didn't get up. It was right then 5 o' clock. She rolled over and went back into her peaceful slumber.
At 5:30, Koga saw her still asleep. He shook her, telling her to get up. She growled and covered her head with a pillow. He just shrugged and left her. She rolled over again and went into a peaceful slumber.
At 6:00, Miroku opened the door and grinned evily at her in just her bra. He was then thrown out by Sesshomaru and he came in to wake her up. He towered over her, he got into the bed with her and said:
"Still tired?"
She nodded.
"Won't get up?"
She nodded again.
He gave her a big shove off the bed and she fell to the floor. She growled.
"What the hell!"
"You better be down stairs in 5 minutes."
She rolled her eyes shoved him out the door. She then threw something on that matched and then brushed her hair. Which only took her 1 minute to get ready, as she was told: she walked down the stairs and saw everyone up. She growled when she walked passed Sesshomaru but he gave her a death glare that could freeze hell, she did the same. It was as though their glares were hell to everyone else!
She sat next to Inuyasha, at the kitchen counter, setting her book bag on the ground. Inuyasha passed her the cereal, she only passed it to Miroku. Inuyasha looked at her as if he was about to kill her,
"What's wrong with my cereal!"
"Nothing!"
"Why didn't you eat it!"
"I don't eat break feast much!"
"Is something wrong with me!"
"SHUT UP INUYASHA I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, I JUST DON'T EAT BREAK FEAST UNLESS I'M THAT HUNGRY!"
The table fell silent. She was looking at Inuyasha as if he was about to jump on her and beat the shit out of her. She never saw him like that, and it scared her that she knew that side. Everyone else, except Rika, just ignored him and didn't talk to him.
At 6:30, she was about to walk to school when a arm grabbed her shoulder. She turned, and looked Sesshomaru up and down. He did the same, she wore her hair down with it shining in the mourning sun and she had on jeans, that were written on, and a camouflage tank top, that fitted her tightly everywhere, and part of her stomach was showing.
"Yes?" she asked.
"I'm taking you to school..."
"What ever, let's go!"
With that she followed him to a Chevrolet truck, all black. She hopped into the passenger seat and he got into the front. They rode off to the school which only took them 5 minutes to get to. He saw Kagome, Sango, and to other girls' that he never met. When he turned back he saw her already heading towards them.
"Hey!" Kagome said.
"Hi!" Ayame also welcomed her.
"What's up guys?" Rika said.
"Nothing much, brother is getting into a fight though." Sango stated.
"What? Kohaku! No way! He's the quietist boy I ever met!" The last girl stated, while the others nodding in a greement.
"I'm sorry to say it's true Hanajima," Sango told her. Hanajima was the last girl that Sesshomaru hasn't met. She was as tall as Sango, but had golden hair with blue eyes.
The group walked into the school talking a-mile-a-minute, especially Ayame. They were known through out the school. Ayame as the school gossiper, she couldn't stop and she always knew what was up. Kagome was Miss Smiley, and also if anyone wanted to see her, she'd always present them with a smile and she'd talk to them as if she was talking to her group. Hanajima as the school psycic, she didn't show any emotion and said she knew what brain waves were. Sango was known as the best fighter and the one to get in trouble. Rika was right beside her on that, and was known as the guitar player and the violin player. She was into orchestra because she could play both violin and piano.
They walked to all there classes. They couldn't leave right after school though, because of their last period:
"Okay class take out your books and start on page 12,"
"What if we don't want to," Rika talked back to the teacher. She wasn't in the mood and when she was upset, you should never boss her around. See she had to go to visit her mothers' grave, it was the anniversary of her death and she always brought black and white flowers for her death anniversary, red and pink flowers for her marriage anniversary, and for her birthday: blue and yellow because those were her mothers' favorite colors.
"OK, you just need to calm down and control your excitement…"
"Control my excitement! It's the last period of school and you can't let us have a time off, screw you pal!"
This went on for 10 minutes and then her friends got involved and then they also got detention. They all sat in their chairs, Kagome saying nothing, Sango glaring out the window, Ayame smiling, and Rika grumbling, drumming her fingesrs on the desk, and glaring at the clock.
Finally the clock stricked 4:30. They all jumped out of their seats but their teacher stopped them.
"You're parents must pick you up."
They all groaned at his response and sat back down. One minute later, Kagome's mom came to pick her up, soon Ayame's mom came to pick her up two minutes after her, five minutes and Hanajima left to, then Sango. She was there by herself. Koga and Inuyasha finally came at 5:00. She was asleep, Inuyasha tapped her on the head and she slapped her mumbling, "Stupid Inuyasha, takes forever to get to a damn school…." He growled, while Koga snickered. "And Koga, he's all high-and-mighty-mr.-fast and he takes 30 minutes to get here…" It was Inuyasha's turn to snicker.
"Hey get up!" Koga barely hollered.
"Hey guys," she stretched.
She got up and followed them to a red car out in the front. She got in the back and before one of them could talk to her, she was asleep. They rode home and this time Inuyasha lefted her up and brought her to her room. She now laid curled up in a ball sleeping. He left while shutting the door.
That's when she opened her eyes, got $20 and climbed out the window. When she was on the ground she ran to the flower store. She bought white and black flowers and walked to the cemetery. She walked up to one that said: Kagura Tsuki, Loving Mother and Dearest Daughter.
---Back at the House---
Sesshomaru sensed something was amiss and so did Koga. They both went up to her room to see if she was there, she wasn't.
"Inuyasha! Were going to find the kid!"
Sesshomaru then ran, followed by Koga, and Inuyasha decided to go. Leaving Miroku, by himself. He grinned, and ran into the living room. The t.v. went on and it said,
"Now it's time for Striper!"
He gave a "wa-hoo!" and then a block came on the screen and said,
"Sorry, this show has been blocked from your t.v."
He fell silent and then collapsed on the couch with depression.
---cemetary---
They found Rika talking to a tomb. They came a little closer to hear what she was saying,
"Hey mom, I'm not sure what to say. You were wrong about me being a guitarist, I got into a band and was adopted. I know you don't approve, but……If you could hear me, I'm sure you would agree. I made a lot of friends. Kagome is still my friend and the same with Sango. I have a couple new friends though, Ayame she's a gossiper, Hanajima she's a psycic, and I think I'm making friends with Tyra, she's a girl that's the School Styler. I'm going to send a letter to dad, this time not to tell him how much I hate him, I want to know how he's doing. Okay, I'll see you in a couple of weeks I guess, bye."
She stood and walked back wards, she then turned to walk straight head down. She then hit something really hard. She looked up to see Sesshomaru. Inuyasha behind him and Koga the same way. She grinned and then givin' the glare, stopped. They walked home in silence.
When they got home she went straight to her room. She wrote a later, she then played a tune and noticed she could make that letter into a song. (Song is by Good Charolette, Emotionless)
"Hey dad,
I'm writing to you,
Not to tell you,
That I still hate you,
Just to ask you how you feel,
And how we fell apart,
How this fell apart,
Are you happy out there,
In this great-wide-world,
Do you think about yourselves,
Do you miss your little girl?
When you lay your head down,
How do you sleep at night?
Do you even wonder if were alright?
But were alright.
were alright.
It's been long hard rode without you by my side,
Why weren't you there on the night that we cried,
You broke my mothers' heart,
You broke your children for life,
It's not ok,
But were alright,
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes,
But those are just a long lost memory of mine,
I spent so many years learning how to survive,
Now I'm writing just to let you know,
I'm still alive,
The days I spent so,
Cold so hungry,
Were full of hate,
And was so angry,
The scars run deep inside,
This tattoed body,
There's things I'll take to my grave,
But I'm ok,
I'm ok,
It's been long hard rode without you by my side,
Why weren't you there on the nights that we cried,
You broke my mothers' heart,
Ya broke your children for life,
It's not ok,
But were alright,
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes,
But those are just a long lost memory of mine,
Now writing to let you know,
I'm still alive,
Some times,
I forgive,
Yeah and this time,
I'll admit,
That I miss you,
Said "I miss you"
It's been long hard rode without you by my side,
Why weren't you there on the night that we cried,
You broke my mothers' heart,
Ya broke your children for life,
It's not ok,
But were alright,
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes,
But those are just a long lost memory of mine,
Now writing to let you know,
I'm still alive.
And sometimes,
I forgive,
And this time,
I'll admit,
That I miss you,
I miss you,
Hey dad……"
She finished the song. She didn't send the later, she put it in a drew and she'd read over it when ever she was mad or hated her father, so then she could remember she appreciated him. There was a knock at her door, she wiped away the tears and opened it for the person to see a snickering Koga and Miroku, and a grinning Inuyasha. They had a plan and she was cautiouse to let them in.
"What?" she asked, annoyed.
"We have a tradition!" Chimed Miroku.
"Tradition?" Rika responded.
"Yes, you must make up a song and you will sing it!" Inuyasha said and laughed evilly. She thought about it for a minute and then growled.
"What if I don't want to," she fought back.
He opened and closed his mouth. She then laughed,
"I'll do it," she said and jumped on her seat to her keyboard and started playing a couple notes.
(Three days later)
After thinking about her song at school, then during detention, then on the computer, then on the computer, and then talking to her mom about it she finally remembered the little tune her mom taught her and it took her a couple minutes to figure out the notes. She then played it, adding to it, and adjusting to it and then finally finished. She gave the violin part to Sesshomaru and the bass to Koga……only problem was, were they all ready?
