Okay here's the next chapter. Please review. Soory, do not own 'Mockingbird' by Eminem or 'Scars' by Papa Roach.
Last Time...
"Okay! I'll do it. Now class take a seat. Lets see where you can sit? Um there are two empty seats. One in the front near the door and the other in the back by the window."
"I'll take the window" Kagome said quickly. She had noticed that the preps sit in the front and the punks sit in the back.
"Okay class, today we'll start off..." Kagome cut off the teacher as she sat down. The guy sitting next to her turned around and said "Hi, I'm Inuyasha..."
This Time...
Chapter 2 Mockingbird
"Oh, hi I'm Kagome. Nice to meet you" Kagome said turning around. She put on a fake, cheery smile.
"Kagome, please put that fake smile away. No matter how hard you try, I will always know when your troubled by something. Better yet, when you're troubled by someone." Miroku whispered. Inuyasha had heard what Miroku said. What did he mean by? Who was bothering Kagome and why? She seemed like such a nice person.
Inuyasha shook his head. If there was anything he understood was to never judge a book by its cover. Kagome gave Miroku a look that would make Hercules scream and coward like a girl. Miroku understood her messega and turned around. Sango, who had bbeen listening to the teacher (?), turned around and introduced herself.
"Hey, Kagome, my names Sango" Sango said sticking out her hand, which Kagome shook.
"Sango Taijina, 16 years old, has younger brother named Kohaku in 6th grade. Favorite weapon the Hirakutse (SP?sorry don't know how to spell), 4th degree black belt in karate. Nickname Crazy-bitch.Favorite color purple." Kagome said all of this in one breath. All the punks in the back had their jaws touching the floor, except Miroku.
"How'd she know that?" asked Kagura.
"Well, one Miroku talks non-stop about you. Two, I was bored one day and hacked into the school's computer. And three, I did a memory check on you when you touched my hand."
"How?" Inuyasha asked. He was really fascinated by this girl. Then, Miroku and Kagome started to explain the whole Crystal and Shikon No Tama situationand about Kagome's past, leaving out parts that Kagome wasn't ready to share(if you want to know about the Crystal and shit, e-mail me). By the time they were finished, Kagome was in MIroku's arms, about to cry. Suddenly, the door bust opened and in came a guy. Whoever he was, he was hot.
"Hey, Mr(insert-teacher-name). Sorry I'm late." Inuyasha and a couple of guys coughed 'liar'."You know what,they are right. I'm not sorry" Yuu Matsura added as an after thought.
"Okay Mr. Matsura. Please take a seat in front of Mr. Houshi" the teacher said, rubbing his temples. Yuu was a pain in the ass many times, but could be sweet whenever he felt like. Yuu went to his assigned seat and smirked. There she was, huddled in her cousin's arms.
"Damn, Kagome, getting a bit freaky wiht your own cousin? What next? Your brother?" asked Yuu with the stupid smirk on his face. Kagome shot him a cold look and went back to her seat before saying "Shut the fuck up and go screw yourself over(I love saying that to people)." Kagome closed her eyes, sinking into her seat.
"I would love it if you helped me. Tonight my place, around 10-ish?" asked Yuu, wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
"What do you think I am? A 2-cent whore? Maybe that was your last girlfriend."
"Angel, I'm hurt." Yuu cluthced his heart and staggered a bit then straightened up. Suddenly, Kagome's eyes shot up and she sat up straight. She looked at Yuu and then at Miroku. She did this three times then screamed. Kagome flunged her arms around Yuu, and Yuu gladly hugged her back.
"OMG! I can't believe it's you. I tought I'd never see you again. Damn I missed you like hell." she said chocking Yuu.
"About...time...you...noticed. Damn...I...can...see... how... much... you... missed... me. Umm... Kagome... can't... breath...need...air." Yuu managed to get out.
"Gomen (sorry), Yuu" Kagome apoligized and got off of Yuu. Yuu took his seat and so did Kagome.
"How do you know Yuu? Angel?" Inuyasha asked. He was deeply interested in Kagome and so was Kouga, who had been listening to everything. By now, he would have hugged Kagome and claim her as his, but he remembered Miroku's threat and decided to wait.
"Well you see, Angel is my middle name and nickname. You guys know how the world is divided into 4 groups, mikos, demons, humans and angels right-everyone nodded their heads-. Well, my mom was an angel miko. My dad was a full inu-youkia. So that makes me fill into all 4 groups. Oh, and I know Yuu because when I was 10 I was the new kid in his old school. We became the best of friends since he was an outcast. We beared throughtout everything. That is until Yuu's dad learned I was a hanyou and forbade Yuu to talk to me." Kagome said, the last part with a sob.
"God, how I hated that bastard. Hopefully, he's burning in hell as we speak." Yuu said, his fingernails digging nto his skin, making him bleed. Kagome saw this and told Yuu to come over to her seat. She pulled some bandeges and a spray out of her backpack. When she opened her backpack, Inuyasha saw many weapons inside. Mostly there were daggers, bows, and arrows. She had a stick that looked hardly as a weapon.
"It transforms." Kagome replied when she saw Inuyasha confused face about her staff. "The stick, it transforms. My dad gave it to me before he died. He said it will protect me from harm. Also that my soul-mate has the matching sword to the staff. Ever since then I've been looking for a guy with the sword 'cause my dad mentioned this guy of mine will protect me and bring me happiness. Wierd how I'm telling you this stuff. Normally I only talk to those who I'ved know my entire life. But here I am, telling a stranger my life story." Whle she was saying this, Kagome had sprayed Yuu's hand and bandegde (SP?) it.
"Hey, how come you carry weapons and a first-aid kit around?" asked Sango.
"Oh well I sure Miroku-shoots him a cold glare- told you I'm in martial arts, right?" Kagome asked. Everyone said 'yeah' and 'uh uh "Well, so I won't have to waste time and go home, change, then drive to my master's home to practice and get scolded each time I'm late, I just bring my junk along with me. I have my weaons in my backpack and my unsual training outfit under my clothes. When I need my miko oufit, I get it from my locker, which I placed in this morning."
"What's the difference between your usual training outfit and your miko outfit?" asked Kanna (wierd, she actually talks in my story)
"Well, my miko outfit is a white robe and red baggy pants (like the outfit kikyo wears in the show. Sorry don't know any terms). My usual outfit, is a black sports bra or tank top, and black baggy pants, skirt, or shorts. Today, I'm wearing the sports bra and pants."
"Kagome, we would be honoredif you modeled your outfit for us" Miroku said mischieviously. Fatser than you can say "Hentai", Miroku was already on the groung with 4 large bumps on his head. Each one came from Sango, Kagmoe, Inuyasha, and Kouga. The bell rang and everyone went to their 2nd period.
While everyone in the back was talking, Kikyo was noticing that Kagom and Inuyasha wre awfully too close to each other. They seemed to be flirting with each other. Kikyo hated this. Nuyasha was supposed to her man, not some new girl. So kikyo decided to humiliate kagome and make her life miserable.
While going to their lockers, Kikyo 'accidentaly' bumped into Kagome, making her drop her books. Kikyo had a smudge look on her face that said I-rule-this-school-so-bow-down. 'Oh, she's gonna get it,now' thought Kagome, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Yuu.
"Okay, I'll give you 2 chioces. 1) pick up the books and apoligize. Or 2) prepare to have your face get more ugly than it is." Kagome said in a calm voice. By now, they had a crowd.
"As if. My face happens to be very beautiful, unlike yours."
"Yeah right, Kikyo. Please, Kagome looks way better than you. She unlike, you has a clean face. NO wrinkles, pores, moles, or pimples. Like theones developing in your face." Inuyasha snapped at Kikyo. Everyone was shocked. Inuyasha had never stood up for a girl, other than Shiori, his younger sister. Kikyo regained her posture.
"Oh shut up you worhtless, pathetic half-breed. You actually thought someone could actually love you. You're nothing put a digrace, a waste of skin-" she never got to finish, because someone had slapped her so hard, she fell down. Kagome had slapped her. Her eyes were red and she was growling.
"How dare you talk like that to Inuyasha. You are wrong. There are people that do love him and care for him. And guess what? I'm one of them. So what if I have only known him for less than an hour. I know that he's a great guy. So you know what, take your cheap-ass fake face out of my face before I really get pist. After I'm done with you, not even plastic surgery can be able to fix your already horrible face." Kagome was now steaming and Kikyo was in the verge of crying.
Inuyasha was shocked, along with Miroku, Yuu, Kouga, and Naraku. Then snapping out of his daze, Naraku helped his girlfriend, Kikyo, off the floor. 'Wow that girl's got attitude. I am going to make her mine no matter what' thought Inuyasha, Naraku, Kouga, Hojo, and some other guys. Everyone was still staring at Kagome.
"What?" snapped Kagome "I suggest you guys get back to your worthless, pathetic lives before I add you people to my hit list." Everyone snapped out of their daze and went bakc to their lives.
"Wow, Kagome!" said Miroku. "No one has ever talked back to Kikyo like that, even though everyone wanted to."
"Why not?"Kagome said with a confused look. 'Stupid locker, doesn't open up!' she cried in her head while trying to open up her locker.
"Here, let me do that" Inuyasha volenterred (SP?).
"Thanks, Kagome said, blushing.
'Kagome,you're blushing' Miroku said in his head, which Kagome read. 'OMG!. you like him don't you? You like Inuyasha? This is too good. My cousin fell in love with my best frined.'
'Am I in love with him? No, but why am I blushing? No guy has ever made me blush' Inuyasha had finally, been able to get the locker open and more of Kagome's weapons came down. Before any of them could hit him, Kagome cast a spell with her miko powers that made the weapons fly in mid-air, inches away from Inuyahsa. All he did was mutter a "thanks". You can't blame him. A girl said that she cared for him and the next moment her stuff nearly kills him.
"Anyways, no one has stood up to her because she will make your life nightmare on Elm Street(watch the movie. its okay)."Miroku said, cutting the tension in the hall. The bell rung, and everyone went to their next class.
"I don't see anything scary about her." Kagome said closing her locker. "Yeah her face is like the reincarnation of Jason, but other than that, their is nothing scary about her." Everyone laughed as they headed to their next class.
Nothing much happened in the other class. Except those guys who haven't seen her started to drool.
X- Lunch Time (to lazy to write)
By lunch time, everyone knew about the hallway fight and who was Kagome. Kagome was in line for lunch, talking to Sango, when Kouga came up to her.
"Hey, there Kagome. You're mine. You are my woman from now one." Kouga said taking her hands (like he does in the show).Inuyasha, who was not to far away, strated to growl, but stopped because Kagome's pionted ears (like Seeshomaru's) started to wiggly.
"Oh how sweet, yet, so out of your league. Look, Kouga, I am not some sort of prize that you can claim. If you want to ask me out, do it the right way. Got it? I going to get some clean, fresh air" Kagome said, leaving a fused Kouga and smiling Inuyasha behind. She saw a giant cherry blosom tree and settled into the thickest branch she could find.
'Good thing I brought my cd player' Kagome said as she took her silver cd player/radio out of her backpack. She also had her portable keyboard, which would come back to normal when she would take it out of her backpack (she is a miko which means she can do magic). She turned her radio to KISS F m, which was playing 'Scars' by Papa Roach (I love that song). Kagome took out her keyboard played the song and started to sing along. She knew this song so well since it kind of reminded her of her past.
X-Meanwhile in the cafeteria.-X
"Hey, where did Kagome go?" asked Miroku. He saw Kouga pist and a happy hanyou.Sango told him that Kouga had tried to claim Kagome. "Uh-Oh. Inuyasha you better come with me. Everyone go outside and find Kagome before she does something drastic! MOVE!" Miroku screamed. He was afraid Kagome might cut herself or start to sniff coke (cocaine you slow people).
The people inside the cafeteria went outside. Suddenly, they heard music and singing. They all turned their heads and saw Kagome sitting in the big cherry tree singing 'Scars'.
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open, just to feel
Everyone was quiet as Kagome sang. 'Wow what an amazing voice. She's the perfect girl.' Inuyasha thought as Kagome sang. 'I mean she's got everything. Looks, talent, brains, and she's a tomboy(hefound this out in gym, when Kagome beat everyone in every sport). What guy wouldn't want her? Man, I would love to be right next to her and hugg her, telling her everything is going to be alright."
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is
I tear my hear open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open, just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're the one drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions my nature
Tonight is our last stand
''She sounds like she's in pain'' said someone in the crowd. Yuu and Miroku went onver to the guy and smacked him uo the head.
"Of course she's in pain!'' they both screamed. "How can you expect her to be calm about everything that's happened to her. All the pain and suffering she has been put through."
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
Kagome was just singing and playing the keyboard, without a care in hthe world. She felt free. Kagome always felt free, singing, playing music, and making her own music. Once she thought she heard someone screaming, but did no effort to open her shut eyes.
I can't help you fix yourself
But I can at least say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But I can at least say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
The entire school was watching the raven-haired beauty sing her soul out. Even the teachers and staff went outside to see what was going on.
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're the one drowning in water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that he past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're the one drowning in water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand.
The students/staff were about to clap when Kagome, without thinking started to play the piano again.'Uh-oh' Both Miroku and Yuu knew this song. Kagome's dad used to sing it to her during bedtime so Kagome would fall asleep. Kagome's grandfather would sing it to Haylie, Kagome's mom. When Haylie found the lyrics, she gave them to Mr. Higurashi who changed the words to the song. Everytime Kagome would sing this song, she would start to cry.
So Yuu and Miroku pushed themselves through the crowd, trying to reach Kagome, before she finished the song.(Okay for this song work with me. I tried to find another loving song but already had my mind madde with 'Mockingbird' by Eminem).
Yeah,
I know sometimes things might not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what did daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen that upper lip
What'chu crying about
You got me...
Hailie, I know you miss your mom
And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad
Even when you smile
Even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes
Deep inside, you wanna cry
Cuz you're scared
I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying
Wipe them tears
Daddy's here
No more nihgtmares
We gonna pull together through it
We gon' do it
Laini, uncle's crazy ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins
When it swirls
When it whirls
When it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Loking puzzle, in a daze
I know it's confusing for you
Daddy's always on the move
Mommy's always on the news
I tried to keep you sheltered from it
But somehow it seems, the harder I try to do that
It more it backfire on me
All the things, growing up
As daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see
But you see just as much as me (to see?)
That we did not plan it to be this way
Your mother and me
But things have got so bad between us
I don't see us ever being
Together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course
Everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something
We no control over
And that's what destiny is
But no more worries
Rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day, we'll wake up
And this will all just be a dream
Miroku and Yuu were about one thirds toward Kagome. The crowd kept pushing them back. For some reason, Inuyasha had followed them. Oh well. Miroku and Yuu hoped that Inuyasha would be the one to save Kagome. She deserved to be happy. Kagome was just singing along. Trying hard not to cy. First she must finish the song, then cry. She never sensed Yuu, Miroku and Inuyasha, pushing their way in the crowd.
Now, hush little baby don't you cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip little lady
I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya
Through the night
I know mommy's not here right now,and we don't know why
We feel how we feel on the inside
It may seem little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, Mama's gonna be alright
It's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck them under the tree
And said some of them where from me
Cuz' daddy couldn't buy 'em
I never forgot that Christmas
I sat up the whole night cryin'
Cuz' daddy flet like a bum
See daddy had job
But his job was to keep food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
And your mom was saving money
For you in a jar, trying to start a piggy bank for you
So you can go to collage
Almost had a thousand dollars
Till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart
And it seemed like everything was just falling apart
Mom and dad was arguing a lot
So mama moved back to Chalmers and the flat
One bedroom apart
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novana
And that's when daddy went to California with his cd
And met Dr.Dre and flew you and mama out to see me
But daddy had to work
You and mommy had to leave me
Then you started to see daddy on the TV
And mama didn't like it
You and Laini were too young to understand it
Papa was a rolling stone
Mama developed a habit
And it all happaned too fast for either of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Cuz' all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sitting in this empt yhouse; just reminiscin'
Looking at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown
It's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, are guess you pretty much are
And dady's still here
Laini, I'm talking to you, too
Daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment
Kagome was so deep in the song that she didn't notice Inuyasha jump into a nearby tree. Inuyasha didn't move but instead, listened to her sing her pain. He understood her. His mom had died and his dad was bearly around. He would always be working. Inuyasha' older brother hated him and his younger sister was too young to understand.
Inuyasha looked down and saw that Miroku and Yuu were half-way through the crowd. He knew that they were going to kill him later, but he couldn't care less. His attention turned to Kagome.
Now, hush little baby don't you cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip little lady
I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya
Through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we fell inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise,
Mama's gonna be alright
By now, Miroku and Yuu were trying to climb the tree. Yuu, being faster, gave Kagome a kiss in the forehead and tackled Inuyasha. They both fell to the ground and continued to wrestle. Miroku sat next to Kagome, and hugged her as she finish the song.
And if you ask me to,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
I'ma sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if the mockingbird don't sing and the ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdy's neck
I'll go back to the Jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat
Don't fuck wit dad.
The ending, Kagome laughed quietly. By now, everyone was either crying or laughing at the last part. Soon, Kagome's laughs turned into sobs. Miroku, just kept soothing her, nothing perverted. Inuyasha and yuu stopped wrestling. The entire school stopped and listened to Kagome.
"He promised." Kagome cried "He said he was going to watch me grow up. Go on my first dates,and annoy the living fucking hell out of me. Why? Why did he leave me?"
"Shhh, Kags. Everything is going to be okay. He is watching you from above. Now stiffen up that lower lip. Okay?" Miroku said. The bell rang and everyone went to their next period. Kagome jumped out of the tree and Mirouk slugged out of the tree. Kagome laughed. Why did she have to have the weird cousin?Kagome saw Yuu and Inuyasha, both had some scratches here and there.
"Um, are you guys okay?" Kagome asked.
"Perfect" Yuu said. "Now let's hurry and get to our next class."
Wow that was a long chapter. Took me a ot of pages. Please review. I'm desperate.
