Hey everyone! This is the second chapter of a new and improved Radio Romance! I hope you all enjoy it (:
Disclaimer; the excerpt of the new song that I decided to put in this chapter is not mine. And neither are the characters of Inu Yasha.
Summery: Kagome is considered a dork, a nerd, a loner. So who would ever suspect her to be Keorinite, the host of a very popular radio station called "Radio Romance?"
Unknown to anyone about her secret identity, she helps the young lovers of Japan with their problems. Little does she know that someone has their eye out for her…
Radio Romance"Hey, buddy! What's up?" The boy asked. "Or should I say down?" He gave a chuckle at his own joke.
The silver haired boy gave him a sharp look. "I was just helping out someone here. Not like you." He replied with a smirk, eyeing his bruised cheek.
Miroku noticed that the girl Inu Yasha had collided with was still picking up her belongings.
"Inu Yasha, are you feeling alright?" He felt the hanyou's forehead. Annoyed, the silver-haired boy slapped his hand away.
"I was… till you got here." He growled. He went on retrieving books off the floor.
"Then why the hell are you helping out Kikyo?" The girl who had also arrived asked, spiting the name out in venom.
Inu Yasha sighed. "Okay, this may be a little had to believe, but this isn't Kikyo."
The two looked at each other and laughed. "Not Kikyo? Yeah, right!"
"Okay, don't believe me? Take a look at this," He handed the pair a piece of paper, the same piece of paper that had hit him with realization.
Slowly, the two came from behind the document. "Oh…My…Gosh…KIKYO HAS A TWIN!" Miroku hollered. A slap over the head gave him his answer.
"No, you idiot! If they were twins, they would have the same last names!" Sango pointed to the schedule, indicating the proof to her theory.
"What if they happen to be like, twins that were separated from birth? Secretly, their biological parents are super spies, and because of that, they're putting their two, lovely twins girls in danger. So, they decided to split them up, in hopes that they would one day find each other!" Miroku said.
Inu Yasha and Sango stared at him. "Miroku? That has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. And trust me, you've said loads of stupid things."
Meanwhile, "Here," she said, handing her a book. "These guys aren't much help. Oh, I'm Sango, by the way, Tajiya, Sango." Smiling, she moved to recover another of her fallen books. "This idiot beside me is Kazaana, Miroku. And the silver-haired one is Takishi, Inu Yasha."
He smiled genuinely upon hearing his name. "Welcome to Shikon High." He handed her a book as well.
Kagome took it hesitantly. "I-I'm Higurashi, Kagome." She managed to stutter out. Her ears perked at her name. Tajiya, Sango…
"Well, Kagome, I hope that we'll make good friends one day." Sango helped Kagome off the ground. "If you need any help getting around, I'm here, okay?"
She replied shyly. "Um, thank you."
Meanwhile, the boy who had bumped into her was talking to Miroku, seemingly as if he had totally forgotten about her. After a while, he turned to her.
"Look, I'm sorry for dumping into you." He apologized.
"It's okay. I was mostly my fault. Well, see you later." She walked away quickly from the trio, leaving Inu Yasha with his mouth open, ready for another apology.
They watched her scurry off around the corner, making no moves to stop her.
"It was as if she was afraid of us!" Sango said, amazed.
Miroku brushed it off. "I guess that's what you can expect from a newbie." But to the unknowing Sango, his hand started to travel lower and lower…
A loud slap could be heard ringing through the halls. "Miroku!"
- - -
"She's gonna be the death of you one day, man. " Inu Yasha quietly whispered to the bruised one.
"At least I'll die happy." Miroku returned with a smirk, wincing all the while.
Inu Yasha was about to make a smart remark, but they had already arrived at their class, which, thankfully enough, was one of their last. 'Music, what a joy!' The three of them thought.
When everyone was settled in, Tanaka-sensei, their over dramatic music teacher started.
"Good morning, class. Welcome back to a fresh, new year of school." She greeted, leaning against a piano already at the front of the room.
"Good morning, Tanaka-sensei." The students replied in a monotone.
"Well, let's get started. Today, we have a new student in the class." With that said, Inu Yasha couldn't help but think of the girl he had bumped into in the halls. But all the others thought of something else. Murmurs and questions were suddenly spreading throughout the classroom.
"Now, now, settle down class. We don't want to scare away this student do we?" She gave a fake, screeching laugh. "Speaking of which, this new student has decided to perform a song for us."
"Probably against their own bitter will!" Someone shouted from the back.
"He's probably right," Miroku whispered. Nobody ever offered to sing.
A simple glare was all it took to ensure not another remark would be said. Suddenly, gentle hands swept over the keys of the piano.
Then the whole class was silenced by a timid, yet alluring singing.
If ever you wondered
If you've touched my soul, yes you do
Since I've met you, I'm not the same
You bring life to everything I do…
Just the way, you say hello
With one touch,
I cant let go
Never thought I would fall in love with you…
Every student in the room was mesmerized by the beautiful enchantment. Nobody could help but stop what they were doing and listen. Thanks to the open door of their classroom, the whole school seemed to have just stopped from their activities as well and listened. Ethereal echoes bounced off the walls, all enticed like a sailor to a siren's song.
Because of you,
My life has changed
Thank you for the love
And the joy you bring
Because of you,
I feel no shame
I'll tell the world
It's because of you…
As the singer continued to grace her (it was evidently and obviously a girl) fingers along the keys, all Inu Yasha could do was close his eyes. The song brought back many hurting memories, yet it brought comfort as well. When the final notes were hit, silence was still present in the room.
"Everyone, please welcome Higurashi, Kagome. The teacher said, snapping out of the trance.
