Battle of the Bands
Chapter 1
By: sapphire999
Hey all, I saw the school of rock today and felt so inspired, that I decided to write this fic for all you rockers. However, I don't know which songs to use. I used some form Avril Lavine, Linkin' Park, and even Josie and the Pussycats. I think that's pretty sad if I resort to Josie and the Pussycats. Not that I don't like the movie or anything, but come on! Anywho, here's the basic run down for ya: I bundled all my favorite anime characters and put them all in bands that used their anime titles for names. I have no solo characters, 'cause that would be tacky and not as cool as the original idea. Well that's all I'll tell you guys about the story line mainly 'cause I don't know where it's gonna go. If you guys have any ideas as to songs or anything don't hesitate to tell me through reviews or email. Anyway, thanks for reading and please review. Oh, and if you must flame me, go right ahead, you're just posting your own foolish grudge over the net. Also, please note that I don't really care. Well on to the fic!

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless, lost under the surface. Don't know what you're expecting of me, put under the pressure of walking in your shoes." Inuyasha began.
"Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow." Miroku continued.
"Every step that I take is another mistake to you..." Inuyasha went on.
"I've become so numb," Miroku spewed out.
"I can't feel you there," Inuyasha continued smoothly.
"I've become so tired," Miroku sang
"So much more aware." Inuyasha launched from his diaphragm.
"I'm becoming this!" Miroku belted.
"All I want to do," Inuyasha practically screamed.
"Is be more like me!" Miroku sang.
"And be less like you!" Inuyasha vengefully sang into the microphone allowing his voice to scratch a tiny bit.
Then Kagome and Sango kicked off the second verse and chorus.
"Can't you see that you're smothering me, holding to tightly, afraid to lose control. 'Cause everything that you want me to be is falling apart, right in front of you," Kagome began smoothly.
"Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow," Sango picked up just as calmly.
"Every step that I take is another mistake to you." Kagome sweetly sang, while half-screaming.
"Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow" Sango smoothly interjected.
"And every second I waste is more than I can take!" Kagome practically screamed into the microphone.
"I've become so numb," Sango belted.
"I can't feel you there," Kagome matched Sango in sweet screaming notes.
"I've become so tired," Sango sweetly interjected.
"So much more aware," Kagome came in quickly.
"I'm becoming this." Sango sang in a scratchy yet smooth voice.
"All I want to do," Kagome sounded as though she was truly pleading into the microphone as she sang.
"Is be more like me," Sango practically screamed into the Mic.
"And be less like you!" Kagome finished.
Then Inuyasha and Miroku came in to do the bridge together.
"And I know I may end up failing too. And I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you!" they yelled while gracefully staying on key.
Then everybody sang the chorus at the same time.
"I've become so numb," Inuyasha and Miroku sang while working their poor guitars to death.
"I can't feel you there," Sango and Kagome belted, Sango from behind the drums, Kagome wreaking havoc with her bass.
"I've become so tired," Inuyasha and Kagome sang together.
"So much more aware," Sango and Miroku cut in with perfect harmony.
"I'm becoming this," Inuyasha and Kagome sang matching each other's volume and scratchiness.
"All I want to do," Miroku and Sango sang out.
"Is be more like me," Kagome and Inuyasha sang into the same Mic.
"And be less like you!" Miroku and Sango finished.
Then the keyboard/mixer (I don't know what to call them.) played final light notes slowly. That person was none other than Kouga. And he was already eyeing Kagome's black clad and curvy body. He was hoping to already get Kagome's attention.
Kikyou, the band manager cheered like there was no tomorrow from in front of the band.
"That was perfect you guys! We're going to win this thing for sure!" She yelled happily. She jumped up and down excitedly and hugged everybody, and when Miroku's turn came she hit him with a mallet after he touched her in an inappropriate place. Kouga pushed her away quickly after receiving his hug and he ran to hug Kagome who'd already set down her bass and started to walk to the drums so she could give Sango a high five. Sango did so and jumped in front of Kouga with mallet in hand and whacked him hard on the forehead. He collapsed with his arms still outstretched.
"Thanks Sango. I wouldn't have seen him coming until it was too late. I owe you an ice cream. Kouga freaks me out sometimes," Kagome spewed out in a single breath.
"No problem Kagome, oh and make that a cone, I feel like a double scoop," Sango said, easily matching the speed of her friend.
"Inuyasha you wanna come with us?" Kagome asked at regular speed this time.
Inuyasha was still laughing at Miroku and Kouga. So he had to try to talk between gasps of air.
"Sure. Why. Not?" He managed to get out whilst rolling on the floor.
"Can I come too?" Miroku asked while getting up.
"It's fine with me if you keep your hands to yourself," Kagome said cheerfully.
"Sorry everyone, but I can't make this one," Kikyou said, " I have a special gig coming up that I have to get ready for."
"Really? Where?" Kagome asked Kikyou. (Kikyou is a flute player and does classical music in big concertos. It doesn't really match her love of rock, but everybody's different, also, I said there were no soloists, I meant for the rock portion) She loved to listen to Kikyou's music, even though she was technically in a hard rock band. She sang and listened to almost any kind of music.
"Kyoto Grand Music Hall," she said trying to brush off the question. She didn't like Kagome that much though they used to be friends. It all started when Kikyou broke up with Inuyasha. Kagome and Inuyasha were friends, and she asked why Kikyou broke up with him.
Flashback:
"So I need permission to break up with my boyfriend?" Kikyou screamed at Kagome.
"I never said that! I just wanna know what happened! You're both my friends and I want your side of the story!" Kagome tried to reason with her angry friend. Sadly, Kikyou didn't care.
"So you just want the truth? Keep your nose out of it! Why do you care? Kagome you are such a fool! Who do you think you are? My personal life is not an open book for you to read! You'll just side with Inuyasha like you always do! Why are we even friends?" Kikyou said feeling tears well up in her eyes. She hated the way Kagome always ended up siding with him. She couldn't stand to be with him anymore, not when.
Kagome was speechless standing still with her eyes getting glassy. She felt like slime. She felt like crying. She felt like running away. But she stayed still to try and make sense of what was going on, she didn't like where this was going. Kikyou was taking this further than it really needed to go, and she was talking to Kagome like she was her enemy.
"Kikyou," she managed to say quietly, " he loved you. You know he did, so why are you doing this to him? And why are you saying that I always take his side?"
"You did it again! You're impossible! You love Inuyasha! I can see that clearly now, so much that he finally noticed and he chose you over me! He didn't love me, and it was oh so clear he preferred you when he jilted me to meet you!" Kikyou seethed. It was awful to feel this jealous and full of hate.
"What are you talking about Kikyou? That was to plan your birthday party! I don't love Inuyasha! I know he loves you!" Kagome said. She felt like crying when she came to terms with the fact Inuyasha didn't love her. It hurt her deeply. So deeply that she may have well been in love with Inuyasha. She looked at Kikyou who was even more enraged than before.
"You love him Kagome it's all over your face! Inuyasha doesn't love me! If he did, he wouldn't have gone to you before me when he learned about his father for the first time! He wouldn't have gone to you first to see if you were sick! He wouldn't have brought you flowers! He wouldn't have asked you to the dance! He wouldn't have warped our friendship this way! He wouldn't have dumped me like a pile of trash when he heard I said you spend too much time with him! He would have trusted me!" Kikyou said, feeling rage and jealousy engulf her body.
"Kikyou." Kagome had run out of things to reason with. She was speechless and scared to lose her friend. They shouldn't be fighting like this. It shouldn't be this way, but it was and there wasn't a thing she couldn't do a thing about it anymore. The argument ended as Kikyou told Kagome their friendship was over and ran home. Kagome fell on her knees in tears as the sun beat down on her.
End Flashback
"That's really great! You could be discovered Kikyou! I'm so proud of you!" Kagome said.
Kikyou smiled at her for a change. It was the first time she felt like a friend in a long time.
"Thanks Kagome and good luck at the battle of the bands, I'm going to miss it," Kikyou said. She felt a pang of guilt in her stomach and wished. She was going to be there.
"What do you mean Kikyou, you have to be there," Inuyasha said.
"Yeah, how can we play without our manager there to cheer us on?" Sango said, secretly wishing Kikyou would drop dead. She thought Kikyou was scum deep down, and hated her for breaking ties with poor Kagome who was just caught in the middle. She forced herself to be nice for Kagome's sake, but sometimes Kikyou was a big let down. Like right now.
"I guess we have to find another manager then," Miroku said. He didn't much like Kikyou himself, but in his eyes, any good body had a good person in them somewhere, if she was a girl. He was in love with Sango, but she thought of him as a perverted friend.
"I guess so," Kouga said popping up next to Kagome, who screamed in shock. "It's a shame though, we'll never find anyone as good as Kikyou is."
What he said was partially true, Kikyou was an awesome businesswoman, even though she was a nurse in training (I had to stay true to some part of the anime ^.^). She blushed a little and picked up her clipboard.
"Well I have to go see you guys tomorrow," Kikyou said walking out the door.
Everyone picked up his or her respective instruments and cased them. As they loaded their instruments into Inuyasha's van, they waved goodbye to Kikyou who was driving away in her grand prix XL (okay I have an obsession with Pontiac cars and Volkswagen beetles, so sue me). Kouga snuck past Sango and caught Kagome as she was loading her bass. She screamed bloody murder and hit Kouga with all the force she could muster, using her bass case as a weapon. Inuyasha who had growled after Kouga grabbed her was now using his guitar case for support. He was laughing his ass off.
"Kouga what the hell were you trying to do? You scared me to death! Do you have any idea how creepy that is?" Kagome screamed in rage. Her pretty brown eyes had flames in them now. Her ponytail was swinging with her head as she gave chase to a very scared Kouga.
"Come back here coward!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Inuyasha was on the verge of wetting himself form laughing at Kouga. Sango and Miroku face faulted and sweat dropped together. She sighed as she handed Inuyasha her drums he carefully loaded them while chuckling to himself. Miroku handed up his guitar and when it was loaded he watched as Kagome stomped up fuming. She muttered something under her breath about boys being immature. She handed her bass to Inuyasha and he shut and locked the van doors. He forgot about Kouga's keyboard and turn tables. He had stopped laughing, but couldn't help but smile when he saw Kagome's face.
"You're so cute when you're angry. It makes me wanna just hug ya," he said joking around.
"Isn't she though," Miroku said chuckling and pulling on Kagome's ponytail.
"Yeah Kagome, it's adorable," Sango said putting an arm around her best friend.
Kagome laughed and put her arm around Sango and Inuyasha, leaving Miroku to Sango. She hugged her friends and said, "Onward! To the ice-cream store!"
"Hey, where's the stalker?" Inuyasha said looking around curiously.
"Kouga's in an alley with a lump the size of Mount Rushmore on his head," Kagome answered.
Inuyasha made a mental note to not get on her bad side, and laughed nervously with Sango and Miroku.
*In the ice-cream parlor.
"1,2, 1,2,3,4!" a drummer shouted. This caused our friends to look around as they came in the shop. The saw the Sailor Scouts getting ready to play. This was a perfect time to check out the competition while eating yummy ice cream. Kagome ordered double scooped cone for everyone in his or her favorite flavor, and sat down. They licked and listened to the band, and they weren't so bad.
"You could say everything's no good, 'cause you'd just say what everyone else would. You could say that the sky is blue 'cause I wonder who would ever not believe you! I shoulda said this for so long so, so long!" Raye fired into the Mic.
"Shape shifter! Guest lister! Big thinker, she'll turn around, you'll diss her! Gate crasher! Brain hasher! If you think that's cool whatever dude! Whatever dude!" Serena belted out, and since her singing lessons, she sounded awesome.
Lita played her guitar like there was no tomorrow and started to sing the next verse.
" You could say what she wants to hear, 'cause it's her car and she lets the bumps steer. You could say that you'll fix is in, but I don't believe it, not for a minute! 'Cause you like all the same songs, but you're all wrong, you're just all wrong!" She sang out angelically rocking.
"Shape shifter! Guest lister! Big thinker, she'll turn around, you'll diss her! Gate crasher! Brain hasher! If you think that's cool whatever dude! Whatever dude!" Mina belted out. She was really good.
Amy killed with her bass and did back up vocals with Mina at the drums.
They slowed the music down a tiny little bit and played quietly so that Raye and Serena could shine through.
"Boys like you don't cost a dime you could say that's fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! But you know just as well as I, that's a lie! Lie! Lie! Lie!" they chimed.
Lita and Amy stepped up to do a face melter duo with their instruments.
"Gate crasher! Brain hasher! Big thinker she'll turn around you'll trash her! Shape shifter! Guest lister! If you think that's cool." Lita and Mina sang together.
"Shape shifter! Guest lister! Big thinker, she'll turn around, you'll diss her! Gate crasher! Brain hasher! If you think that's cool whatever dude! Whatever dude!" Amy, Serena, and Raye sang all at once.
"Whatever dude!" Amy sang into the Mic.
"Whatever dude!" Lita said keeping the melody in her voice.
"Whatever," Raye said ending the song.
Everyone in the parlor applauded, even the Inuyasha band (you have to be sportsmanlike, even in band competitions, right?).
"Thank you all! We'll be here all week. And be sure to come see us at the battle of the bands!" Raye said cheerfully into the Mic.
Serena and Mina were talking by the drums, and Lita and Amy were high- fiving (remind you of Kagome and Sango?). Raye was starting to fix the microphone stand when she noticed the Inuyasha band.
"Hey you guys," she said to her fellow band mates, "guess who's here?"
Upon hearing this, the entire band looked up at Raye with questioning eyes. Raye pointed to the back of Inuyasha. Kagome noticed Raye was pointing at Inuyasha and made the connection that hey were probably gonna fight in one ways or another, she sighed and noticed that Amy was doing the same thing.
Then the worst possible thing happened, Kouga came through the doors with a huge lumps on his head, looking like an excited little wolf cub that just got beat up. Kagome's hair stood on end and her body went rigid like a cat's does. She grabbed her ice cream cone and flew under the table. Sango took the hint and scooted over to Kagome's place. Inuyasha received a kick in the shins from under the table telling him to keep his yap shut if he wanted to live.
"Hey where's Kagome? I heard her say you guys were coming here," he asked with hopeful and shiny eyes.
Inuyasha sighed and received another kick in the shin. "She went home Kouga, you scared her again," he covered for his unfortunate friend. He felt Kagome hug his leg in a thank you motion.
"Really?" he asked
"Yes she did, I'm sure you could catch up to her if you hurried," Sango said in her best actress voice.
"Yeah you're pretty fast Kouga, you might even beat her there," Miroku said, just for good measure.
Kouga was about to leave when *gasp! * Raye and the rest of her band buddies came over to the table.
"Hey why is Kagome under the table?" Raye asked, not knowing what she'd just done to poor Kagome who was now waterfall crying under the table. Everyone tried to cover for her by looking surprised when they looked under the table and saw an annoyed looking Kagome.
"Hey I thought you said you were going home Kagome, why are you here?" Inuyasha and the band said as one. Kagome's ice cream cone had been finished so she didn't have an alibi anymore. She just laughed nervously and sweat dropped.
Then Raye's big mouth opened up again. "What do you mean? She was talking to you guys before he came in."
Kagome gave Raye an I'm-so-going-to-kill-you glare from under the table. And then Kouga dove under the table to hug Kagome. He ended up kissing her instead, which was fine with him, but Kagome was horrified. Inuyasha looked as though he was going to kill Kouga. Miroku and Sango looked at each other and practically ran away from the scene to the stage. Amy was the first on to followed their lead, but soon everybody but Raye was a safe distance away. Kagome couldn't breathe! She was gonna pass out. Kouga wouldn't let go no matter how hard she pushed on his torso. Inuyasha overturned the table and beat Kouga off of Kagome who gasped for air and spat and coughed. Inuyasha Leapt on top of Kouga and punched him so hard and so fast he couldn't react to it. Kagome got out her mallet and beat poor Raye to death.
"You moron!" she screamed. Then she grabbed Raye and took it outside.
"Don't ever touch Kagome again!" Inuyasha yelled and threw Kouga out the door. And he followed looking rather pissed.
Amy and the scouts watched as Raye got beat up and Inuyasha beat up Kagome's stalker. Miroku and Sango ordered a milk shake and shared it, watching with great interest as Kagome broke her mallet over Raye's head and came back in looking satisfied. Inuyasha kept on hitting Kouga and they all grew tired of watching blood gush from his nose. Inuyasha came back in with a big scowl on his face. He was grumbling something about demons in the form of stalking creeps.
"Are we ready now?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah" everybody said.
Amy went outside with a first aid kit and fixed up Kouga and Raye. Then Lita carried Raye to the band van to give her a ride home. Then the sailor scouts climbed into their van and drove off. Miroku and Sango climbed into Sango's silver grand prix Gt. as they said bye to Inuyasha and Kagome. Kouga was still at the parlor. Kagome started to talk to Inuyasha as he walked her to her car.
"Thanks for what you did Inuyasha, I couldn't breathe. It was really scary when he kissed me."
"He deserves to be put into an asylum. Creep. Who does he think he is?" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha, thank you. Well, I'll see you at Blue Moon tomorrow," Kagome said. Before she got in her car she gave him a best friend hug.
He watched as she drove away in her blue Volkswagen bug. He hopped in his beat up van and drove home himself. He thought of a zillion ways to make Kagome give him another hug on his way home.
So did you like it? I think this could turn out to be great. Personally, I'm thrilled about the idea. Let me know what you think. Was it funny enough? Too violent? Not violent enough? Was it romantic enough for you? Was it good, or bad? Too short? Too long? It took forever to type this sucker. It's 8 pages in size twelve font! o.0 wow! Anywho, let me know if you have any ideas about songs or anything! I love your reviews, they're my inspiration. most of the time. Well let me know how you like my fic.
Love ya! ^.-

As they loaded their instruments into Inuyasha's van, they waved goodbye to Kikyou who was driving away in her grand prix XL (okay I have an obsession with Pontiac cars and Volkswagen beetles, so sue me). Kouga snuck past Sango and caught Kagome as she was loading her bass. She screamed bloody murder and hit Kouga with all the force she could muster, using her bass case as a weapon. Inuyasha who had growled after Kouga grabbed her was now using his guitar case for support. He was laughing his ass off.
"Kouga what the hell were you trying to do? You scared me to death! Do you have any idea how creepy that is?" Kagome screamed in rage. Her pretty brown eyes had flames in them now. Her ponytail was swinging with her head as she gave chase to a very scared Kouga.
"Come back here coward!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Inuyasha was on the verge of wetting himself form laughing at Kouga. Sango and Miroku face faulted and sweat dropped together. She sighed as she handed Inuyasha her drums he carefully loaded them while chuckling to himself. Miroku handed up his guitar and when it was loaded he watched as Kagome stomped up fuming. She muttered something under her breath about boys being immature. She handed her bass to Inuyasha and he shut and locked the van doors. He forgot about Kouga's keyboard and turn tables. He had stopped laughing, but couldn't help but smile when he saw Kagome's face.
"You're so cute when you're angry. It makes me wanna just hug ya," he said joking around.
"Isn't she though," Miroku said chuckling and pulling on Kagome's ponytail.
"Yeah Kagome, it's adorable," Sango said putting an arm around her best friend.
Kagome laughed and put her arm around Sango and Inuyasha, leaving Miroku to Sango. She hugged her friends and said, "Onward! To the ice-cream store!"
"Hey, where's the stalker?" Inuyasha said looking around curiously.
"Kouga's in an alley with a lump the size of Mount Rushmore on his head," Kagome answered.
Inuyasha made a mental note to not get on her bad side, and laughed nervously with Sango and Miroku.
*In the ice-cream parlor.
"1,2, 1,2,3,4!" a drummer shouted. This caused our friends to look around as they came in the shop. The saw the Sailor Scouts getting ready to play. This was a perfect time to check out the competition while eating yummy ice cream. Kagome ordered double scooped cone for everyone in his or her favorite flavor, and sat down. They licked and listened to the band, and they weren't so bad.
"You could say everything's no good, 'cause you'd just say what everyone else would. You could say that the sky is blue 'cause I wonder who would ever not believe you! I shoulda said this for so long so, so long!" Raye fired into the Mic.
"Shape shifter! Guest lister! Big thinker, she'll turn around, you'll diss her! Gate crasher! Brain hasher! If you think that's cool whatever dude! Whatever dude!" Serena belted out, and since her singing lessons, she sounded awesome.
Lita played her guitar like there was no tomorrow and started to sing the next verse.
" You could say what she wants to hear, 'cause it's her car and she lets the bumps steer. You could say that you'll fix is in, but I don't believe it, not for a minute! 'Cause you like all the same songs, but you're all wrong, you're just all wrong!" She sang out angelically rocking.
"Shape shifter! Guest lister! Big thinker, she'll turn around, you'll diss her! Gate crasher! Brain hasher! If you think that's cool whatever dude! Whatever dude!" Mina belted out. She was really good.
Amy killed with her bass and did back up vocals with Mina at the drums.
They slowed the music down a tiny little bit and played quietly so that Raye and Serena could shine through.
"Boys like you don't cost a dime you could say that's fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! But you know just as well as I, that's a lie! Lie! Lie! Lie!" they chimed.
Lita and Amy stepped up to do a face melter duo with their instruments.
"Gate crasher! Brain hasher! Big thinker she'll turn around you'll trash her! Shape shifter! Guest lister! If you think that's cool." Lita and Mina sang together.
"Shape shifter! Guest lister! Big thinker, she'll turn around, you'll diss her! Gate crasher! Brain hasher! If you think that's cool whatever dude! Whatever dude!" Amy, Serena, and Raye sang all at once.
"Whatever dude!" Amy sang into the Mic.
"Whatever dude!" Lita said keeping the melody in her voice.
"Whatever," Raye said ending the song.
Everyone in the parlor applauded, even the Inuyasha band (you have to be sportsmanlike, even in band competitions, right?).
"Thank you all! We'll be here all week. And be sure to come see us at the battle of the bands!" Raye said cheerfully into the Mic.
Serena and Mina were talking by the drums, and Lita and Amy were high- fiving (remind you of Kagome and Sango?). Raye was starting to fix the microphone stand when she noticed the Inuyasha band.
"Hey you guys," she said to her fellow band mates, "guess who's here?"
Upon hearing this, the entire band looked up at Raye with questioning eyes. Raye pointed to the back of Inuyasha. Kagome noticed Raye was pointing at Inuyasha and made the connection that hey were probably gonna fight in one ways or another, she sighed and noticed that Amy was doing the same thing.
Then the worst possible thing happened, Kouga came through the doors with a huge lumps on his head, looking like an excited little wolf cub that just got beat up. Kagome's hair stood on end and her body went rigid like a cat's does. She grabbed her ice cream cone and flew under the table. Sango took the hint and scooted over to Kagome's place. Inuyasha received a kick in the shins from under the table telling him to keep his yap shut if he wanted to live.
"Hey where's Kagome? I heard her say you guys were coming here," he asked with hopeful and shiny eyes.
Inuyasha sighed and received another kick in the shin. "She went home Kouga, you scared her again," he covered for his unfortunate friend. He felt Kagome hug his leg in a thank you motion.
"Really?" he asked
"Yes she did, I'm sure you could catch up to her if you hurried," Sango said in her best actress voice.
"Yeah you're pretty fast Kouga, you might even beat her there," Miroku said, just for good measure.
Kouga was about to leave when *gasp! * Raye and the rest of her band buddies came over to the table.
"Hey why is Kagome under the table?" Raye asked, not knowing what she'd just done to poor Kagome who was now waterfall crying under the table. Everyone tried to cover for her by looking surprised when they looked under the table and saw an annoyed looking Kagome.
"Hey I thought you said you were going home Kagome, why are you here?" Inuyasha and the band said as one. Kagome's ice cream cone had been finished so she didn't have an alibi anymore. She just laughed nervously and sweat dropped.
Then Raye's big mouth opened up again. "What do you mean? She was talking to you guys before he came in."
Kagome gave Raye an I'm-so-going-to-kill-you glare from under the table. And then Kouga dove under the table to hug Kagome. He ended up kissing her instead, which was fine with him, but Kagome was horrified. Inuyasha looked as though he was going to kill Kouga. Miroku and Sango looked at each other and practically ran away from the scene to the stage. Amy was the first on to followed their lead, but soon everybody but Raye was a safe distance away. Kagome couldn't breathe! She was gonna pass out. Kouga wouldn't let go no matter how hard she pushed on his torso. Inuyasha overturned the table and beat Kouga off of Kagome who gasped for air and spat and coughed. Inuyasha Leapt on top of Kouga and punched him so hard and so fast he couldn't react to it. Kagome got out her mallet and beat poor Raye to death.
"You moron!" she screamed. Then she grabbed Raye and took it outside.
"Don't ever touch Kagome again!" Inuyasha yelled and threw Kouga out the door. And he followed looking rather pissed.
Amy and the scouts watched as Raye got beat up and Inuyasha beat up Kagome's stalker. Miroku and Sango ordered a milk shake and shared it, watching with great interest as Kagome broke her mallet over Raye's head and came back in looking satisfied. Inuyasha kept on hitting Kouga and they all grew tired of watching blood gush from his nose. Inuyasha came back in with a big scowl on his face. He was grumbling something about demons in the form of stalking creeps.
"Are we ready now?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah" everybody said.
Amy went outside with a first aid kit and fixed up Kouga and Raye. Then Lita carried Raye to the band van to give her a ride home. Then the sailor scouts climbed into their van and drove off. Miroku and Sango climbed into Sango's silver grand prix Gt. as they said bye to Inuyasha and Kagome. Kouga was still at the parlor. Kagome started to talk to Inuyasha as he walked her to her car.
"Thanks for what you did Inuyasha, I couldn't breathe. It was really scary when he kissed me."
"He deserves to be put into an asylum. Creep. Who does he think he is?" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha, thank you. Well, I'll see you at Blue Moon tomorrow," Kagome said. Before she got in her car she gave him a best friend hug.
He watched as she drove away in her blue Volkswagen bug. He hopped in his beat up van and drove home himself. He thought of a zillion ways to make Kagome give him another hug on his way home.
