Battle of the Bands
Chapter 4
What's Going On With Us?
Hey everybody! Sorry for the delay in the updates. I haven't been real inspired as of late. At least not on this story. Anywho, let's see. not too many reviews, but thanks to those who did, I truly appreciate it. For those of you who are stingy with reviews, don't expect to get many from me, if I find out who you are. Anywho, the lyrics featured in this chapter, which will be pretty long if I can help it, are all new to the fic. So generally there will be no repeats of lyrics, mainly because I don't feel like typing them again, though I do like to listen to the CD's while I type. I hope you guys are enjoying this story and if you aren't oh well, I like it. That's really all that matters in my book. Well I guess that's all I have to say for now. Oh yeah, have happy and safe holidays! And now to the story...

Sango sighed as Miroku pulled into her driveway. What now? What was going on? Miroku got out of his awesome car and walked to her. She looked him square in the eyes and noticed that they were glazed over. Something was wrong with Miroku. This did not happen a lot. Miroku was not easily shaken by anything or anybody. Feeling as though she would need to sit down to hear what was wrong, she grabbed his hand and took him inside. He sat down on her sofa when they were inside, and feeling like she should be his support no matter what he did, she sat next to him.
"What's wrong Miroku? What happened?" Sango asked.
"I just got a phone call from my dad, my mom died a few minutes ago at home," Miroku replied in a hoarse and weak voice. Not being able to hold the tears back any more, he cried. He let his vision go blurry and his head drop. He heard Sango gasp and felt her tense up next to him. He was surprised to feel her arms slip around him.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. Oh Miroku, I want you to know I'm here for you. Just know that."
Miroku didn't know how he could not burst if he didn't tell somebody. He couldn't bear it all by himself. Miroku felt Sango relax a little bit, and he didn't know how to say it, but it came out fast, slurred and muffled anyway.
"She died because he was abusing her--because I wasn't there to stop him any more. He turned himself in and now he's going to die too. I don't have anyone left Sango. I don't know what to do."
There, he said it. He didn't feel any better though. Sango tensed up again and let go of him. She got up and pushed him back into the sofa. He didn't stop crying, and he shouldn't have to. His whole world just fell apart. Sango had started crying too and she looked him straight in the eyes again. He couldn't bring himself to even blink. Her eyes pierced right through him and for some strange reason calmed him a little bit.
"Listen to me carefully okay? Nothing is your fault. It isn't your fault. You couldn't have known, even if you did, you couldn't have done anything. When my family died in the fire, I though it was all my fault. I kept thinking about 'what ifs' and all it got me was more pain. I realized it wouldn't have mattered if I'd been there or not. I probably would have died with them, and I told myself that they wouldn't want this for me. I started to move on, but I never forgot them. They don't want this for you, nobody does," Sango told him.
She felt Miroku go slack with shock. Sango never brought up her past; it was way too painful to talk about. Miroku never thought she would ever bring this sort of thing up, and he didn't think she cared so much. He kept crying, but not as hard. He hugged her and managed to get out a few words.
"It hurts. I never got to say good bye, I never got to tell her how much I loved her, I never got to thank her for all of the things she did for me. It isn't fair. It isn't fair."
"I know, I know. You don't deserve this; she didn't deserve it either. Nobody does," She answered him. She hugged him tighter and he let out all his tears on her.
He whispered a soft, "Thank you Sango," before he fell asleep. Sango let go of him and pulled away. She pulled a blanket out of her closet and put it on him. An immense sadness gripped Sango's heart as she watched her friend sleep she looked at the picture of her beautiful and amazing family on the end table next to Miroku. She felt herself tear up again and grabbed a tissue from the coffee table. She changed into her pajamas and let down her hair. She combed it and braided it. Sango decided to sleep in the same room as Miroku in case he needed her again. She grabbed another blanket and used him for a pillow. They slept like this all night long.
Kagome was just starting to get undressed when her phone rang. She pulled her shirt back on and ran to the phone. It was Inuyasha.
"Kagome?" he asked.
"No this is Frosty the snow man, who are you Inuyasha?"
"This isn't the time Kagome. Turn on your TV to channel 2."
"Uh-oh, that's never a good sign," she said as she grabbed the remote and did as instructed. She didn't like what she saw.
A picture a beautiful woman with blue eyes and long black hair was being displayed on the screen. She was identified as Sakiko Dashimi. Her husband had murdered her that night and he'd turned himself in as soon as he realized he was dead. Things like this happen all the time, but Sakiko Dashimi was Miroku's mom. Kagome dropped the phone and fell to her knees in shock. Inuyasha's loud shouts came to her through the phone and all she could do was stare at the TV in horror and cry.
The next day Kagome and Inuyasha dressed in black and drove to Miroku's apartment, but he wasn't there. They called Sango, but there was no answer. They were just flat out worried now. Inuyasha drove them to Sango's house and saw Miroku's car there. They parked on the street and walked to the door. Kagome rang the doorbell and Sango answered it in her robe and slippers looking very much asleep. She let them in and asked them to be quiet because Miroku was still asleep. She told them both what happened and she saw their hearts break before her very eyes.
Miroku stirred on the sofa and she made a snap decision. She stood up and ushered Kagome and Inuyasha to the door.
"You guys, wait for us at the Blue Moon okay? We'll be there in a few minutes."
Inuyasha and Kagome nodded in agreement and left Sango to handle Miroku. He would have to be really fragile and raw, it was better to take it slow than to hit him all at once. The poor guy had been through enough. As he started to get up he noticed Sango was staring off into space with a thoughtful look on her face. She snapped back to her senses when he stood up.
There was an awkward silence and then Miroku broke it with a simple question.
"Did Inuyasha and Kagome come by already?" he asked Sango. But he didn't need an answer as soon as he saw her shocked expression. She answered anyway.
"Yeah, how'd you know about that?" she asked.
"I know them too well. I also know that you told them what happened last night. They must have been pretty upset. You must have been worried about their reactions to me."
'Damn he is good. He knows me better than I know my shoe size.' She thought. He walked to her and hugged her. She didn't know what to do or say so she just stood there like a stunned little girl and let him hug her. When he pulled away his azure blue eyes locked on her dark brown ones. He smiled for the first time since he showed up last night and before she knew it happened he kissed her on the cheek and said good bye.
He walked out to his car and was about to get in when Sango yelled: "Miroku! Meet me at the Blue Moon!"
He nodded at her and drove back to his apartment building. He showered and changed into a pair of baggy blue jeans and a black Linkin Park T-shirt. He put on his watch and drove to the café. Inuyasha and Kagome were already there. He sighed and walked to the table. He braced himself for a barrage of questions and concerned stares, but when he got to their table, he was cheerfully greeted and nothing of the sort happened. He was a little surprised.
Sango ran to get dressed. She pulled on a red shirt that said 'I wouldn't stare if I were you.' and a pair of black hip huggers. She ran to her car and practically street raced to the café. She saw that Miroku and the others had a cheery conversation going on so she joined the party.
"Hey everybody, sorry I'm so late, traffic was a bitch."
"Hey Sango!" came pretty much everybody's answer. She sat next to Miroku, across from Kagome.
That's when the manager walked on stage and introduced the band as Outlaw Star. This band had won the battle of the bands like three times in a row. The waitress had time to take their orders before she was shoed away. Inuyasha and the others watched as the band took the stand. To everyone's surprise they played a slow song that Melphina, Sazuka, and Accia sang as the opening song.
"Like a flower in a hurricane," Melphina sang
"A finger painting left out in the pouring rain, " Sazuka continued from the Keyboard.
"Sweet words whispered on a subway train," Accia broke in playing the bass.
"Wasted and lost in all the noise," they all sang.
"Beautiful," Accia sang.
"Breakable," Sazuka picked up.
"Like a butterfly in an angry world," Melphina broke in.
"So breakable," they sang together.
"She lies wide awake hearing their screams," Sazuka started.
"When the front door slams, she knows what that means," Accia continued.
"Though she shuts her eyes the tears still stream," Melphina sang.
"Lonely and lost in all the noise," they sang in unisons.
"Beautiful," Accia sang.
"Breakable," Sazuka broke in.
"Like a butterfly, in an angry world," Melphina went on.
"So breakable," They all sang together again.
"Beautiful," Sazuka sang.
"Innocent," Melphina broke in.
"In an angry world," Accia continued smoothly.
"So breakable," they harmonized together.
"The heart is fragile," Sazuka sang.
"Handle with care," Accia continued.
"Hold it, it's precious, there's treasure in there," Melphina sang.
"Breakable," Accia sang.
"Beautiful," Sazuka sang.
"Like a butterfly, in an angry world," Melphina sang.
"So breakable" they all sang.
"Beautiful," Accia sang.
"Innocent, in an angry world," Melphina carried on.
"So breakable," all three sang.
Then the song was over. The waitress came back with everyone's order and left again. Everybody in the audience applauded with enthusiasm. The three girls bowed and got ready to sing another song. Sango thought she saw Miroku cry a little during the song but didn't say anything. The group decided to take their coffee to go and leave before they decided to stay all day. They said good bye and went on their separate ways. Kagome and Inuyasha went skating and Miroku and Sango decided to go to the park.
At the park.
Sango had decided to be Miroku's shoulder since he'd done it for her when he fond out her family got caught in the fire. Sango had had a lot of emotional baggage in the month after the incident, she knew it would be no different with Miroku. Even if he was a pervert and a player, he deserved friends when he needed them too didn't he? Sango stayed with him, walking in silence until they got to the middle of the park. Sango put on her most convincing fake smile and looked at the person next to her. He almost looked like a lost little boy being pulled along by a big sister. He looked at her with eyes so full of sadness she wanted to close them.
His eyes penetrated hers and they stood like that for a long time. Sango was going insane. She didn't know what to do or what to say to him. He was just standing there staring at her. She was in shock and there was a surprised and confused look in her eyes. She was ready to die. Miroku did something he never thought he'd do to Sango.
He grabbed Sango and kissed her forehead. Before she had time to react to this little development, he was off and running up the path ahead. It took two whole seconds for her to recover. He had gotten to be a fast runner. She ran after him full speed, but those two seconds were costing her. She dug deep for the extra burst of speed she needed in order to catch up with him. She ended up leaping for him and doing a sort of flying tackle landing them both in the huge pile of leaves (Did I mention it's autumn and unusually warm in the day?) that was on the side of the path.
Sango was just flat out confused now. She got off of him and pulled him up.
"What on earth is going on here? First you stare at me for like an hour and then you pull a kiss and run move? I think not! You aren't going anywhere until you tell me what the hell is going on here!"
"So I can't run away huh?" he asked.
"I'll catch you every time you even try," she said.
Miroku smiled for the first time that day, genuinely. He looked deep into her eyes and answered, "I have to plan my mom's funeral, appear to testify at the hearing and on top of all that I have to turn in my thesis, I have to get going."
"I don't believe you are telling the truth Miroku. Maybe you do have to do those things and have to get going, but that is not the reason you ran away from me. I've never seen you move that fast in my life. Truthfully, that's hurtful. "
He couldn't move. She knew him too well, he couldn't tell her what was bothering him though, not to the girl who had watch her entire family vanish in smoke. The only family member that she had left was Kilala. He couldn't tell her that he was afraid. That he didn't know what to do. That he was so sad he could die. He couldn't tell her. He wouldn't be able to face her ever again if he did. Before he realized what was going on, Sango was embracing him in the warmest hug he'd ever received. So he cried on her shoulder.
At the skate park.
Inuyasha was pulling some awesome tricks on the rail. Kagome was practicing her stunt blading on every obstacle possible. Inuyasha couldn't help but watch in awe. She was like a machine. Even if she messed up and fell, she just rubbed the sore spot and got back up to try it again. After a while he got back on his board and went back to doing his own thing. After a while of pulling off some more amazing tricks he went over to watch Kagome again, but this time she was gone. He couldn't see her anywhere. He called out her name and saw someone fly out of the pipe with Kagome in his arms. It was Kouga.
"Hang on Kagome, I'll get you some help," Kouga told Kagome. She was unconscious at the moment though, so she wasn't comforted at all.
"Kouga! What's going on?" Inuyasha yelled.
"I came into the pipe to try a new trick that I learned the other day and Kagome was like this when I found her. I'm taking her to the infirmary by the soccer fields," he answered.

It must really suck to be left with so many cliffhangers! As you probably guessed, this is the end of the chapter. What did you think of it? Tell me in your review by clicking that cute little "go" button in the bottom left hand corner of your screen. I was planning on making it a much longer chapter with more songs by better artists. I know like nobody has heard of Rose Falcon, but that's the artist used in this chapter of the story. I meant for a lot more to happen in this chapter. A new band was supposed to be introduced (besides Outlaw Star) and the main band was going to perform, and a whole bunch of stuff that will happen next chapter. What's gonna happen to Kagome? Is something happening between Sango and Miroku, or is it just grief? Will Kouga get closer to Kagome? Is Kikyo ever coming back? I really wanted to update before New Years, so I rushed this chapter along. I'm sorry if that was evident. I'm pretty happy with this chapter, considering it was rushed. Well I have to go work on other stories now. Happy New Year everybody!
Love ya!

Well I have to go work on other stories now. Happy New Year everybody!
Love ya!
