Ch.5 Rocking Out
Kagome closed the door behind her and walked over to her guitar stand, picked up her guitar, and thought for a moment.
'Is it really so bad that I like this guy?'
'Yes! You promised Bruce to love only him... no matter what.'
'Just because I like him doesn't mean I care for Bruce any less...'
'So what now you're a two timer?'
'No because Bruce and I are not together anymore... I took care of that.'
'You abandoned him.'
'It was for the best, you know that.'
'The best for who? You? What about him? What about how he feels?'
"What about how I feel? Huh? He never considered that! If he had I wouldn't be here right now!" Kagome screamed to herself. She sat there silence taking over her. She sat her guitar on the bed, walked over to her nightstand, and pulled out a photo album.
There she sat with him. Both of them smiling up at her. Mocking her. She turned the picture to one of them sitting together at the junior prom. Kagome had on a long black dress which clung to her in all the right places. He was wearing one of his black suits. They were the perfect couple, or so everyone had said. If Kagome looked hard enough she could make out the bruise on her left arm. The first one he had ever given her. Even happy memories were ruined. She remembered that first bruise. She had been sitting on his bed with him, he was on the phone, having a not so great conversation with with his half-brother Taylor. He was upset about something. She had tried to comfort him by putting her arms around him, but before she could make contact, he punched her in the arm. It had hurt like hell, but she was shocked. She sat there stunned, looking at him.
"What are you looking at, you whore!" He had screamed just before using all of his strength to push her of the bed, causing her to slam into his bookshelf. She had lain there, at the foot of his bookshelf, for many minutes crying. She wanted with all of her heart to believe it had never happened... so she did.
A single tear feel from Kagome's eye, rolling down her cheek before falling and making the picture its home.
Kagome picked up her guitar. She needed to play. Playing was the only thing which released her from the world, it made things better, took her away from her reality.
I cannot leave here.
I cannot stay.
Forever haunted,
More than afraid.
Asphyxiate on words I would say.
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.
There are no flowers,
no not this time.
There will be no angels gracing the lines,
just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile,
but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you,
could I only speak,
just how much this hurts me.
I cannot stay here.
I cannot leave.
Just like all I loved,
I'm make-believe.
Imagined heart,
I disappear.
Seems no one will appear here and make me real.
There are no flowers,
no not this time.
There will be no angels gracing the lines,
just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile,
but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you,
could I only speak,
just how much this hurts me.
I'd tell you how it haunts me...
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams.
You don't care that it haunts me.
There are no flowers,
no not this time.
There will be no angels gracing the lines,
just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile,
but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you,
could I only speak,
just how much this hurts me...
just how much this hurts me...
just how much you...
Kagome sat there letting the last words wash over her. She opened her eyes and looked up only to see Inuyasha standing in her doorway.
"That was beautiful." Inuyasha said just above a whisper.
"Uh... thanks." Kagome said as she looked away. Her face turned red, but she wasn't sure if it was from the fact he had just complimented her or if it was from anger at the fact that he had just come into her room uninvited.
"Do you have another guitar?" Inuyasha asked as he crossed her room to sit next to her on the bed.
"Yeah, over there onthe stand." She said.
He got up and walked to the satnd. After getting the guitar and hooking it up to her amplifier, he sat back down.
"So... what do you want to play?" He asked her. "Something slow, upbeat, heavy?"
"I'm thinking one of my favorite songs." Kagome said with a grin.
"Oh, and what's that?"
Kagome started a cord and sang the opening.
"I've felt the hate rise up in me..."
Inuyasha smiled and joined.
"Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed..."
They sat there singing the song. Kagome was enjoying her time.
'Why couldn't Bruce have been like this?' She asked herself.
Inuyasha was mesmerized. She had to be the coolest chick he had ever met. She loved all of the music he did and she rocked at guitar. 'She would be the perfect addition to our band...'
The song was over and they looked at each other.
"You're really good." Inuyasha told her.
"Thanks, I've been playing for a very long time though." Kagome told him. "I was a guitar major at my old school."
"Wow, well... look, the thing is my band is looking for another guitarist and set of vocals... if you want, you're in." Inuyasha told her.
"Ok. That sounds really awesome." Kagome told him.
"Great, I have to go for now, uh, we have a practice tonight, I'll pick you up at around seven?" Inuyasha asked as he put the guitar he was using in its case and walked over to her door.
"Yeah, ok." Kagome answered smiling.
"Great, can't wait. See ya then." Inuyasha yelled over his shoulder as he walked down the hall.
'You can't be serious? You're actually going with this guy?'
'Yes, I don't see a problem with it.'
'Well I do!'
'You would.'
'What's that supposed to mean?'
'What do you think?'
'Why don't you just listen to me! It is not right for you to get involved with this guy.'
'I'm not getting involved with this guy, I'm getting involved with his band.'
'I don't care it's wrong.'
'You know what? Shut up.'
A/N: Ok so there it is. Please review! I already have the next chapter written but the faster you review the faster it is posted. By the way the songs of course do not belong to me. The first is AFI's and the second is Slipknot's.
