A/N: This is Chapter 2! I will try to update every weekend if possible, but I'm not making any promises. I'm glad all of you that read my story enjoyed it. Here is the next chapter that morning after Kagome has the dream. Also, as you may realize in this chapter, my writing is different in this one compared to the first chapter. I wrote the first chapter years ago. I think about three, so of course my writing has changed drastically. Don't let this throw you off, I'll still make the story very fun, but also serious at times too. Thank you for reading and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, sadly
A blast of cold water hit her head and ran down her back. Kagome yelped and jumped out of the way of the shower head. She started muttering curses under her breathe, as she turned the water off and got out.
At this point she was very confused as to why her dreams lately had been filled with Inuyasha, her childhood best friend. She hadn't seen him in twelve years or even heard from him. He had just left without ever looking back she guessed. When she was younger though, she had cried herself to sleep for nights, wondering what she did wrong to lose a best friend.
Kagome sauntered into her room and started to get ready. If anything, she wished he thought of her at least once in a while. Her life hadn't changed much, but she as a person had. She was now seventeen and in her last year of highschool, as was he she hoped.
There was a knock at her bedroom door, and she opened it. "Yes?" she said to whoever was at her door.
"Oh, Kagome? You're up!" Souta, her little nine-year-old brother.
"Yeah, I've been up for a while." Kagome said, beginning to close the door.
"Okay, well mom said that breakfast will be done in fifteen." he said, walking down the stairs.
"Okay!" Kagome called and closed the door. She grabbed the first thing she thought looked cute, which was a green shirt with white stars all over it, and regular blue jeans. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, and she was satisfied. She grabbed her backpack and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Inuyasha, wake up." Sesshomaru, his older brother, hit him to wake him up.
"Ah, what the hell! Go away. I'm not going to school. I hate it here! Lets go back to L.A." Inuyasha replied, putting a pillow over his head.
"Stop being a child, you know we're only here until our parents figure out what Naraku is up to." Sesshomaru stated flatly.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's parents both worked for the same company, Tama Inc. And their friend and co-worker, Naraku, had in mind to sabotage the company and harm the Tama family. Their parents sent them to Tokyo again, because it was the only means of keeping them safe until they could figure out what was going on.
"Why doesn't dad just fire the dumb ass and then we can go home!" Inuyasha yelled.
"This is our home in case you forgot Inuyasha."
"We lived in L.A. longer than we did in Tokyo!" Inuyasha said, irritably.
"It doesn't matter. We were born here so we have to get used to it. Now get up and get ready for school please, I don't want to be late." Sesshomaru walked out of Inuyasha's room, closing the door behind him.
Kagome felt herself get tackled from behind. "Hey Sango!" she said, without even having to look.
"Hey Kagome! Guess what today is!" Sango yelled loudly into her ear.
"Ow, I don't know Sango, what is today?" Kagome asked, going to her locker.
"Battle of the band tryouts! You know that cute guy is in that one band." Sango said, leaning against a set of lockers.
"Miroku?" Kagome teased Sango. Miroku was a big pervert who had a thing for Sango, and Kagome knew Sango secretly had one for him too.
"NO! I meant Kouga!" Sango covered her face to hide her blush.
"Eww, Kouga?" Kagome asked, pulling a face of disgust.
"I heard he has the hots for you, Kagome." A voice said behind them.
Kagome turned around. "Hey Rin! When did you hear that?" Kagome asked.
"Earlier last night, Miroku told me." Rin smiled.
Sango and Rin had become Kagome's best friends the year Inuyasha had left, and they knew the whole story so they sympathized with her, but they also tried to get her to forget him.
"That's gross. He is way too cocky and he's always calling girls "his women."" Kagome made gagging noises.
Sango laughed. "Aww come on Kagome, give him a chance, just this once?" she asked.
"Not until you give Miroku a chance!" Kagome said, closing her locker door.
They all started walking towards their english class. "
"Eww, Miroku is disgusting." Now it was Sango's turn to gag.
"I wish I was as lucky as you two! I wish I had a boy that liked me so much I'd gag." Rin joked.
Kagome smiled. "Be careful what you wish for Rin!"
"Yeah, I'm not superstitious Kagome, sorry to break it to you." Rin teased.
"Well, I'm just letting you know be carefu–"
The door to their english class opened quickly and Rin was hit right in the face, luckily her nose didn't start bleeding.
"Ouch!" Rin said as her butt made contact with the ground.
A tall and slim young student with long silver hair stood, looking at the girl he had just hit, Rin.
Rin looked at him and immediatly looked away. He kneeled next to her to help her pick her books up. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Y..yeah, I'm fine!" Rin said, laughing and casually shrugging it off, even though her face hurt like hell.
The guy finished picking up her things and helped her up. Kagome and Sango slid into the classroom quietly leaving the two students alone.
"You new here?" Rin asked.
"Yes, just transfered from America." he said.
"Oh, cool! My name's Rin." Rin held out her hand.
"Sesshomaru." The boy took her hand and shook it.
Rin immediately felt a wave of emotion hit her heart with that one touch.
Sango laughed. "I think Rin has the hots for someone now."
"I told her to be careful with what she wished for." Kagome. Just then Kagome slammed hard right into someone. The impact knocked not only her down, but the person she ran into down.
"Ah, watch where you're fucking going!" The person she ran into said.
"How about you do the same!" Kagome yelled, looking at the person and gasping. Was it? It couldn't be. "Inu..yasha?" Kagome asked.
"What? How the hell do you know my name?" Inuyasha asked as he looked at her, something clicked with him too, but he wasn't sure what. He felt like he had seen this girl before, maybe it was just a figment of his imagination.
"It's me, Kagome!" Kagome smiled now, a bit happy.
Inuyasha looked at her. "Who?" he asked.
Great, he didn't remember her. "Kagome. Don't you remember me?" she asked.
"Not really, you kind of look like an ex girlfriend of mine named Kikyo." Inuyasha said.
"No, I'm NOT Kikyo." Kagome hated Kikyo with a passion and now that she knew she dated Inuyasha, she hated her more.
"Well, you sure look like her!" Inuyasha said, getting closer to Kagome and examining her face which made her blush.
"Well, I'm not. My name is Kagome!" she said.
"No need to yell!" Inuyasha laughed.
He was still the same kidder Kagome thought, also laughing.
"Well, Kagome, I'm sorry I don't remember you, but I have no idea who you are." he said.
"Ah, I was..just joking." Kagome lied.
"Then how did you know my name?" Inuyasha asked.
"Ah we were friends when we were little kids."
Something in Inuyasha's mind flashed.
"Pinky square?"
'Kagome.' Inuyasha thought in his head. "Nope it's still not ringing a bell, sorry." he shrugged.
The teacher walked into class. "Okay class get situated, please."
Kagome turned to look at the teacher as she spoke and then turned back to look at Inuyasha.He had found himself a very comfy seat next to the biggest bitch alive and his ex, Kikyo.
"Greaaaaat." Kagome thought, as she took a seat next to Sango.
Sango looked at Kagome knowing that this situation wasn't making her very happy.
"Maybe he'll remember." Sango reassured Kagome, but in Kagome's head she knew he might never remember.
Rin felt like she was in heaven. She had the hottest guy ever talking to her. He didn't talk much and he seemed to lack emotion, but something about him had drove her to the extreme.
Sesshomaru walked with Rin into english and the both of them took seats next to each other. Rin totally ignored Sango and Kagome.
"Thanks Rin." Sango mumbled under her breathe.
After school Sango, Rin, and Kagome headed down to the auditorium to watch the try-outs for battle of the bands.
Kouga and his band were setting up their instruments on the stage. He glanced at Kagome and winked. "You here to watch me?" he asked.
"Umm, I'm here to watch all of the bands." Kagome nodded.
"Well, every girl in this school knows I'm the hots of this group." Kouga said, flexing his muscles.
Kagome gave him a funny look. "Well, I'm gonna go sit down there!" she left, without giving him a chance to drag her back into another awkward conversation.
She took a seat next to Sango and Rin.
"Did you know Sesshomaru's brother is auditioning for this?" Rin asked.
"How does he have a band suddenly?" Kagome asked.
"He apparently asked Miroku and the rest of the guys, but Kouga to sub in until he got a band." Rin shrugged.
"That must have pissed Kouga off." Sango said.
"Oh well." Kagome glanced around the auditorium and sure enough, Inuyasha was going backstage with an acoustic guitar. He played guitar now? There were so many things she didn't know about him now.
The lights turned off and Kouga's band started to play. The song was great and Kagome tapped her foot to the beat. She knew sure enough that they would get in. After the song ended, Kouga took a bow and smirked at the rest of the band as they did the same. Kagome rolled her eyes, because Kouga was really a loser in her eyes.
Kouga was such a loser in his eyes. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, that was a lame thing to do to the band, what an ass, Inuyasha thought.
When the band came off stage, Inuyasha went on and started to hook his things up. Miroku started to walk out to help him, when Kouga stopped him.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asked.
"We're subbing in for him until he can get his own band together." Miroku said, nonchalantly.
"Oh no you're not." Kouga held out his hand to stop Miroku.
"You're not the boss of us Kouga, sorry." Miroku said, and walked on stage to help Inuyasha.
"Thanks for subbing for me." Inuyasha said, tuning his guitar.
"No problem." Miroku went back to the drums and started sound check with the rest of the band.
Kagome nudged Sango. "There's your man." she joked.
"Shutup!" Sango said, blushing.
The lights went out, interrupting their conversation.
Inuyasha spoke into the microphone. "Umm, we don't have a name yet"
The auditorium burst with laughter and hushed whispers from other people who came to watch.
Inuyasha almost started to play and then he pulled out sheets of paper, music Kagome guessed, and handed a sheet to each guy on an instrument.
Inuyasha was seated again, he made sure his guitar was in tune one last time, and then he started to play the chords on his acoustic guitar. Slow at first, but they started to speed up. He put his lips to the microphone and started to sing.
"So we sit at this table,
with our hands in our laps,
and we have a few drinks
and we share a few laughs"
As Inuyasha kept singing, the other instruments kicked in.
"But now those days have past and they're not coming back
It's a shame cause that's all that I had
And well sing out loud for hours
Until the morning that we know we cant avoid
These nights are notable and priceless
I swear that every word I say, I mean until my dying day
It's a shame when I wake I cant recall a thing
So keep things quiet until the rest of the street falls asleep
Then well break out and show everyone just what were made of
So young, lets abuse our health and have a little fun
I'll drink to that, lets drink to that"
The music slowed and now it was just Inuyasha and his guitar again,
"I've got some problems but we've got ten dollars
That's enough to get us wasted before the night is over
These past five days I've been completely sober
But tonight Im getting ripped wide open"
Inuyasha stopped playing his guitar and ended the song, and the auditorium, although only filled with a few people, because it was auditions, stood up clapping.
Inuyasha smirked at Kouga and bowed this time with the other guys that helped him with the song. "Good job guys!" he yelled.
Miroku gave him the thumbs up, and walked up to him. "Dude, do you still need to find a band?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'll post flyers though." Inuyasha nodded.
"Well, could I be drummer?" Miroku asked.
"What? Aren't you in Kouga's band?"
"Not anymore, dude your music is WAY better and you're WAY cooler." Miroku laughed.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and shrugged. "Sure, thanks man." he said, giving Miroku a high-five.
"No problem." Miroku started to pack his things up so the next band could come out to audition."
"Inuyasha!" he heard someone call, and he turned around. It was Kikyo.
"Hey!" he said, smiling.
"Baby! That was AMAZING!" she said, hugging him.
"Thanks." He smiled and hugged her back.
"Lets celebrate!" she said, "Oh please please please!" she was begging now.
Inuyasha sighed, "Sure!" he tried to sound excited, but he wasn't exactly excited about spending all of his money.
"Oh, yes! I'll go get ready. See you tonight baby!" Kikyo said, running out of the auditorium.
Inuyasha shook his head and started packing his guitar up. He looked up to see Kagome looking at him. He nodded at her and smiled.
"See he looked at you!" Sango elbowed her.
"Ow! Okay is it a crime for people to look at me?" Kagome asked.
"No it must mean he remembers!" Rin said.
"No guys, I don't think he does." Kagome said, watching him pack his things up out of the corner of her eye. She sighed. She really hoped he remembered her eventually. He seemed so different, but like he had never changed. "We'll see, maybe in a few days things will jog his memory."
"I Got it!" Sango said, "Why not try to do things for him that will remind him of your childhood?"
"That's not gonna work Sango." Kagome shook her head.
"Aww come on, it's worth a shot!" she said, getting up.
"It couldn't hurt." Rin added.
"Yeah, see!" Sango was smiling from ear to ear.
"Alright, alright just as long as you quit smiling at me like that!" Kagome laughed.
"Okay, it's settled then. You two come over tonight and we will plan operation get Inuyasha to remember!" Sango said, turning around and running off. "See you tonight!"
"Wait!" Kagome called after her, but Sango was already gone. "I don't wanna do this Rin." Kagome said, falling back in her seat.
"Oh come on Kagome, Sango can't have anything too drastic planned." Rin said.
"Oh if you only knew." Kagome said, shaking her head. If Rin knew ANYTHING about Sango, she would know that Sango was a crazy planner. Kagome sighed and closed her eyes. Tonight was defiantly going to be a long night.
