A/N: A gift for XFangHeartX. Happy Birthday, dear!

Get Along!

It was all Souta's fault. It really was. Usually Kagome didn't have time to enjoy manga, anime and other things teens usually did. She was way too busy battling real youkai in real Sengoku Jidai, with a real bow and real reiki.

But last week she'd spent home, healing from a case of sprained ankle - which was Miroku's fault, for the record. The monk really should be more careful with where he laid his shakujo when they camped in the woods.

Now her ankle was fine and Kagome was exercising it, dancing around her room while stuffing her yellow bag. She had this inkling that Inuyasha was going to come to get her soon to take her back to the past. It was best she was prepared. And she was dancing - and singing along - to an anime opening that was stuck in her head thanks to Souta. The anime was awesome and the song was very catchy, and she'd spent her entire recovery time watching it like an addict.

The song was playing on her walkman, strapped to her belt, headphones covering her ears as she stepped across her room, carrying half a dozen of clean underwear in one hand and a handful of socks in the other. She raised her socks above her head as the song started again, declaring along with the singer.

"Where monsters rampage I'm there to take them down! Where treasure glitters I'm there to claim it!" she said, pressing the handful of underwear to her chest as if was a treasure. In dire times when they were stuck in the middle of nowhere, covered in youkai guts, when she couldn't change in something clean... Yeah, in these times a pair o fresh underwear was more precious than a piece of gold. "Where an enemy rises to face me victory will be mine!"

That was true, with Naraku again and again rising to challenge them, steal their shards and hurt tons of people for no other reason than his sick pleasure of watching others suffer. And, sure, maybe most of the monsters were taken by a Wind Scar or team work, there was a good portion of wins taken by a sacred arrow.

She spun around as the music started and the first line of sung lyrics started.. Socks dangled from her fist dramatically. The poor miko was too lost to the song (Souta's fault) to notice that her window was open and a person was sitting on the sill, staring at her spinning and stepping around around with her props, her hips swaying and her bare feet hitting the carpet to the rhythm.

"Feel the wind, and feel the fire
Roarin', gettin' higher
Risin' while my enemies face me down
With the snap of just a finger
Time they got the picture
Boom! They're dead and buried and in the ground!'

With that last line she pretended to be Inuyasha slamming Tessaiga against the ground to create the Wind Scar. The intimidating effect was lost because what she held was no youkai fang sword.

The audience's ears twitched.

'I'm a star, and I'm a knockout
Yeah, you better watch out
Ooh, but if you're jealous get out the way
Don't have time for hesitation
Pure annihilation
That's the only thing that my foes'll face!"

Kagome stuffed her panties and socks in the bag and in a few dancing steps found herself in front of her wardrobe. She reached in to pull out a spare blouse hanging from a dress hanger. She pulled it off of it and hiraikotsu it on the stack of neatly folded sweaters on the bottom of the cabinet. She didn't even look back to see it land, already stuffing the blouse in her bag, shaking her butt from side to side as she sang,

"Hey, you wanna try it?
Ooh, I wanna try it!
Boy, you oughta know that I'm a wild girl
Don't have time for your games
Better watch what you say
Or I'll send you right straight to hell'

In went the pile of books and a pouch of pencils. She added a box of crayons for Shippou, then a bunch of ramen packages for her dog boy she was wildly, but secretly crushing on for months now. Every time he did something nice he just had to say something stupid and make her short temper snap.

"Far away
I'm going where I want to forever
Never giving in, I'll never surrender"

She hoped to always be able to go back to her friends in the past. They were her rag tag family, joined by bonds of fighting together, supporting each other. And she never wanted to go away from Inuyasha's side. He was her precious idiot dog-boy. And over the past weeks they were actually growing a bit closer, bickering more for fun of it than because they were angry at each other, discovering new sides of each other...

"Stare down the darkest days with a laugh and a wink and a smile!"

Yeah, they've seen some really terrible shit during their time together. Sango had dug herself from her pwn grave. Miroku was walking around with his family curse threatening to kill him any time. Shippou was a tiny orphan who'd witnessed his father die and then his killer wear his skin as a belt. One could write a whole essay on Inuyasha's dark days. Not even starting on Kikyou. Kagome actually had it the easiest, so she did her best to support her friends and help them during their bad times. That was what she thought as she packed additional bandages and sweets for everyone, pushing them in to fit as many as she could in the already cramped space. Her hips swung from side to side, her skirt following in energetic moves.

The audience was mesmerized by that motion more than they'd like to admit. But her next words snapped them out of their daze.

"Far away
I'm going where I want to forever
Burnin' with a fire, so, baby, remember
I'm out to reach my dream but there's no guarantee that it's you"

That was when Kagome's headphones were pulled down to rest around her neck. She gasped in surprise as a clawed hand grabbed her arm to turn her around to face the audience, who was no longer watching the show.

"Oi! You better be me!" Inuyasha barked, his ears laid back and his intense golden eyes focused on her blushing face.

She still could hear the song playing in the headphones,.

"Go as far as you can go
Get along, try again!"

It was definitely Souta's fault she was discovered by the hanyou singing along to an anime song. It was for sure Souta's fault she did just like the song said and went as far as she could go.

Which was about thirty centimeters.

Whatever quarrel was about to happen because of her embarrassment and his misunderstanding was for once muffled by a well-placed pair of lips against Inuyasha's mouth.
