Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, and even if I did, I still would be the same person... just a hell of a lot richer.

Slay The Music

Scene Four: Untitled

Inuyasha scavenged Kôga's plane suite for his guitar. He wasn't about to go join the group of happy idiots strumming on guitars and looking for inspiration that were right outside. Nope. That was never his style. And it wasn't Kôga's either... Kôga was just doing it for the sake of the new girl.

"I can play the piano and the flute..." Inuyasha mimicked, annoyed as hell, "Next time I need to buy earplugs."

He searched and searched some more before finally giving in and walked back into his room. He laid himself down onto his bed and closed his eyes, trying to drown out the rabid sounds of that idiot chorus out there. He sat there and laid in his royal bed, half asleep, half awake... until finally he went to his bags and started looking for his guitar again. He had six, yet he never was able to find them. They always went missing right when he wanted them.

"Found ya!" He proclaimed to himself as he pulled out a guitar from his guitar case.

It was a black acoustic, which someone had finely painted line patterns onto. It was his oldest and most used guitar and he brought it over to his bed where he started to play it. He started by playing the different chords and warming up his fingers. Then he played a few chords together, mixed them around, and then some... Still not satisfied with the sound, he added and replaced a few before he got something he could go with.

"Oi! Kôga!" He called.

"What is it dogface?" Kôga answered appearing at his door instantly.

"Come 'ere I think I got something." Inuyasha said, sitting upright on the edge of the bed.

"Okay." Kôga said, going to retrieve his bass.

Inuyasha played out the few chords he had, then waited for Kôga to respond. Kôga sat and thought for about three seconds before pulling off a few individual notes of his own that was harmonic yet different from the original tune.

Inuyasha only nodded. This was the way it was between them when it came to music. They always started in silence. It was the only way they were able to get something great out of the two arguing friends. They then played the two together and listened closely for any flaws in the melody. When they finished with that, Inuyasha took out a folder full of blank staffs and scratch notes, which he began to scribble on.

"Title..." He mumbled.

"Untitled." Kôga replied.

"Why "Untitled"?" Inuyasha asked.

Kôga shrugged, "We've never had an untitled album?"

Inuyasha looked at his friend with a confused expression, "Whatever you say, Wolf Breath." He said as he marked the name up at the top... "As far as lyrics go, how are we gonna sing about something untitled?"

"How are we going to sing with a pop artist?" Kôga suggested, leaning back in the chair.

"Finally, someone who agrees!"

"Well we are heavy rock artists who scream quite a bit on stage..." Kôga said, looking at Inuyasha out of the corner of his eye.

"And she's an annoying wench who screams her lungs out and proclaims it's a love song." Inuyasha growled.

"Well, yeah... But she's got a hell of a body and she speaks English." Kôga said, defending Kagome.

"English? I speak English and French." Inuyasha responded.

"Almost all of the rock stars out here speak French!" Kôga said.

"You don't." Inuyasha pointed out.

"Yes I do."

"Ça va?"

"Çomme si Çomme sa." Kôga sneered.

"So maybe you do speak French." Inuyasha shrugged and went back to writing music.

"But seriously, man, I think she likes you." Kôga said quietly so that no human could hear.

"Shut up." Inuyasha growled.

"You'd be Japan's most wanted couple." Kôga smirked.

"And I'd be on my top ten "People To Kill" list." Inuyasha said.

"You really have one of those!" Kôga gasped in false horror.

"Fucker..." Inuyasha muttered.

Kôga shrugged, "We're not gonna be able to flick off the crowd with her around, huh?"

Inuyasha shook his head, "I'm so killing Myôga for this one." Inuyasha growled.

"Whatever man, lets just get on with writing this, okay?"

"..." Inuyasha didn't answer, he was too busy writing down lyrics to the new untitled song. "Hmm... hmm, hmm..." He hummed as he strummed on the guitar.

"You guys starting with out us?" Sango asked as she and Miroku entered.

"Where's Kagome?" Kôga asked.

"She went to sleep, claims she's washed out." Miroku shrugged.

"So what's the song?" Sango asked bringing up her guitar into position.

"Untitled." Inuyasha muttered.

"Untitled?" Miroku repeated.

"Yeah, Untitled."

"Okay..." Sango said as she looked over Inuyasha's shoulder to see the notes. "So... like this?" She asked as she played the first few chords out.

"Yeah, except here, you have to play this group faster." Inuyasha pointed out.

"Who's on drums?" Miroku asked.

"Naraku..." Kôga said.

"So, we have three guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer?" Miroku asked.

"No, we have keyboards to." Inuyasha corrected.

"Kagome doesn't—"

"No, Ayame does." Kôga said before Miroku could finish.

"Not to mention drums, bass, and violin," Inuyasha said.

"Why isn't she here then?" Sango asked, looking up from her guitar.

"She's already there. She had a press conference to go to about her new solo career." Kôga said.

"Ayame is going solo?" Sango asked, raising an eyebrow at the thought.

"Yeah, her new single was released yesterday, didn't you hear?" Miroku said.

"No..." Sango trailed off as she started helping Inuyasha with the lyrics. "Is this going to be an all English song?" Sango asked.

"I dunno." Inuyasha shrugged.

"Here, why don't we add the Japanese lyrics here for myself... You and Miroku and Kagome can sing the English stuff, Kôga and I will go with the Japanese." Sango said, "As the backup to the story you know? Not all fans speak English."

Kôga nodded, "Besides, my English sounds like a cow coughing."

"That it does." Miroku nodded.

"Let's add in Kôga's famous yelling here..." Sango said as Inuyasha wrote.

"So Kôga's yelling solo here. Let's make it in English—"

"I can't speak English!" Kôga protested.

"All you have to yell is, "Give me a reason to fucking continue!"" Inuyasha said.

"What does that mean?" Kôga asked.

"You seriously have no idea what that means?" Sango asked.

"Well, I do, but why me? I can't speak English, it twists my tongue and makes a fool out of me." Kôga frowned.

"Say it." Sango said.

Kôga opened his mouth.

"In English." Inuyasha interrupted.

Kôga frowned, " Give me a leeson tu fuking con-te-nu!."

"That's not that bad." Sango said.

"Sure, just makes me look like a dumb-ass."

"Oh, c'mon Kôga, you're ruining my fun..." Sango said with a fake pout.

"Oh, c'mon lil' sis, shut the shit up." Kôga imitated adding a middle finger.

Sango frowned then smacked him. "Baka..."

"Bitch..."

Pyo! Pyo! Chapter four is done! ...Hoped you like it. Sorry about the language thing. I think I am over using the bad language. But you know... I drafted this chapter on May 2nd...most jrockers would know what that means. Sorry, I was a little aggravated and sad and half-happy... And is it just me, or is this story taking a while to get started? Sure it's only the fourth chapter, but the real stuff hasn't happened yet. Cries I'm working on it, okay! There will be conflict, and romance, and violence... if you haven't noticed at least two of those three then I should probably step up the pace or you guys can prepare for super long chapters with super long updates or this size chapter—and hopefully weekly updates... you decide. Shrugs If you like or hate, please, do tell.
