Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha OR the songs in this fic or the fics to follow. Sometimes I forget to say that I don't own the songs... hehe. Okay so this going to be a niiiiice and long chapter for "A Healed Heart" lol... WOOO! I hope you enjoy it and are happy with it.
Last time...
"I have these earrings," her mother pointed to sparkling silver earrings. They were dangling silver floating hearts with a single small diamond in the middle. Kagome gasped.
"Hey Kaggy..." Miroku started Kagome laughed and scowled at the same time. Then Miroku continued while smiling at his friends hatred of the nick name, "why did you gasp when my mom hugged you? Her hugs are the best everyone loves hugging my mom." Kagome lowered herself down a little in her chair. She didn't know what to say.
"Damn I got no sleep and now I can't stand a pointless day of school..." Inuyasha had went on rambling. Suddenly Kouga got an idea.
"Guys let's ditch school! It's pointless. Inuyasha we can take your car, cause it's the best out of all of ours, or we could take our cars individually frankly I think it'd be more fun..." Kouga was interrupted by Sango who was so anxious to just get to the fair.
"OKAY WE GET IT KOUGA!" she yelled. Kagome laughed Kouga was always doing that.
Now...
Kagome smiled as Miroku shook his head to the music. He saw her smiling and laughed as he rolled down his window.
"WOOOOOO!" Miroku screamed holding the wheel with one hand as the other was hanging out the window. Then Kagome screamed, Miroku was about to crash into another car! Miroku's scream changed to a horrified scream and then to a laugh when he swerved out of the way. The look an Kagome's face was priceless!
"MIROKU! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" Kagome questioned him. Miroku pulled over, he was laughing to hard to drive. Tears were forming in his eyes when he realized Kagome was pretty shaken by the almost crash.
"Oh come on Kaggy! I didn't mean it and you know that. The excitement of the whole fair thing got to me. I'm sorry okay." Miroku said using the nickname from earlier. Kagome looked at him as he gave her this, "I'm so sorry." face. She smiled at him in spite of herself.
"It's okay Miroku, it's just you don't laugh when things like that happen!" She said then slapped him slightly and continued, "Miroku I'm sorry too. Now let's go!" Kagome said laughing slightly. Miroku hugged her first, she was surprised to say the least.
"Kaggy you don't have to be sorry." Miroku spoke and Kagome was shocked to say the least. No one had ever been that nice to her. Miroku was truly a great friend.
"Now we can go." Miroku said to her and she smiled with an, "Okay." shake of the head. Then Kagome thought of something all of a sudden.
"Hey Miroku where's your car going?" Kagome asked. Miroku shook his head.
Then he said, "By now I thought you would've caught on with how things work around here. Nah I'm just kidding. I'm leaving the car at Inuyasha's place. It's cool, we've done it before when we went to this place a while back. It was fun, Kouga came back totally wasted... hehe juuust kidding... again." Miroku tried to cover the truth up but he couldn't lie, he was horrible at it.
Finally they were at Inuyasha's. Inuyasha was leaning against his car with Sango beside him. They looked bored out of their minds. Sango ran up to Miroku's moving car.
"Let's get a move on COOOME ON!" Kagome could hear Sango yell through the glass of the car window. As Sango yelled a sudden gust of wind filled the air and Kagome started to panic as she got out of the car. A twister was headed straight for them. Right in front of her the twister stopped. It just... stopped. Kagome nearly fainted and her heart was beating fast.
"Ah, Kouga you used your wolfy powers very well!" Sango spoke while laughing at Kagome's shocked expression. Inuyasha walked up to the group. He looked bored/excited/wasted from a night of no sleep.
"Hey Inu-man can you drive?" Kouga asked him. Inuyasha nodded his head slightly.
"Yeah, but at the first stop someone's switching with me okay?" He asked then continued as he turned around with a, "Good, I'm glad you see it my way." Sango looked at Kagome.
Then she said, "Not like we had a choice..." Inuyasha heard her.
"And no rambling in my car you got it?" Inuyasha said.
"Oooo, somebody's cranky." Sango teased. Inuyasha lowly growled.
"Get in." He said to everyone and they obeyed what he said. Two people were in the front and three people were in the back. The two people in the front was Inuyasha, who was driving, and Miroku who volunteered to drive next. The back was Kouga then Kagome then Sango. When they got into the car the radio was up all the way blasting. Kouga had gone deaf.
"HEY! Man how the hell," Kouga went down to his normal talking voice, which was practically a yell, an finished, "can you listen to the music that loud?" Inuyasha shook his head. He didn't know himself. Kagome smiled and looked up. The cars top was off and she was glad it was such a great day. She was also glad she decided to skip the lip gloss for that day. Sango on the other hand had a bit of trouble getting hers off. Kagome laughed at her friend and Sango just kept on trying to take it off. They hadn't even started driving yet and Sango was having lip gloss trouble for the "wind." Inuyasha smiled as he looked at Sango.
"How ya doing Sango?" Inuyasha said and before she could answer he drove out of the driveway and Sango's already sticky hands were even more sticky. Miroku smirked at the sight of her. Kouga on the other hand was annoyed.
"Dude you didn't have to put the radio that low." Kouga spoke.
Kagome smiled then spoke for first time since she got in the car, "He's right, I can't even hear it turn it up." Inuyasha smirked and turned the radio waaay up. He had it on a "whatever" song station and the song playing at the moment was, "Everything is Alright", by Motion City Soundtrack. Sango had to laugh. Then the words came and she was tapping her hand and getting into the song. Miroku was quietly doing the same and Inuyasha was just smirking... like always.
Then Sango sang aloud asking then answering, "Tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright. Oh please tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright! Come on you guys HAVE FUN!"
Miroku decided to join, "Give me a reason to end this discussion, To break with tradition. To fold and divide. Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes, Talking with strangers, waiting in line.. I'm through with these pills that make me sit still. "Are you feeling fine?" Yes, I feel just fine." Miroku moved his hands as he mouthed the words to the song in a mocking way. Sango laughed as Kouga followed and Inuyasha's thumb rocked the steering wheel. Kagome had heard this song before but didn't really know it.
Inuyasha then sang, "Tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright. Oh please tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright. I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling.. Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire! HAHA SANGO THIS IS..." Sango smirked.
"Fun right?" She didn't wait for an answer just continued with the song, "...Someday you'll be fine.. Yes, I'll be just fine. Tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright. Oh please tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright." Sango couldn't help laughing and Kagome couldn't help smiling. Sango nudged her. Kagome nudged back and Sango laughed. That was unexpected.
"Hey no nudging!" Sango spoke sarcastically. Kagome laughed and nudged her lightly.
"Then don't nudge me!" Kagome laughed. Sango smiled at her friend.
"WOOOOO! Fair here we come! Hey anybody know the name of this fair?" Sango asked. Inuyasha shrugged with a yeah but I forgot.
Kouga then continued with the song, "So let's not get carried," then Miroku came in, "Away with everything." Then Kouga continued, "Away with the process," Miroku took over, "From here to in-between." Kouga but in as Miroku sang, "Of elimination the long goodbye," Then Kouga finished, "I don't want to waste your time."
Sango was dying of laughter and Kagome had to ask, "How the hell did you guys keep that up?" They shrugged with a laugh.
Then Inuyasha sang with Sango and Kagome knew the chorus by now and sang with them, "Tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright. Oh please tell me that you're alright, Yeah everything is alright." They all laughed then Inuyasha changed the station. A gooooood song was on. So he kept it. Sango sweat-dropped and Kagome blushed fiercely and the boys sang.
"Oh God, why do you torture me so?" Sango spoke as she looked up then hung her head.
"I like big butts and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist And a round thing in your face You get sprung Wanna pull up tough Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed Deep in the jeans she's wearing I'm hooked and I can't stop staring Oh, baby I wanna get with ya And take your picture My homeboys tried to warn me But that butt you got Make Me so horney Ooh, rump of smooth skin You say you wanna get in my benz Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy..." They would've went on but Inuyasha shrugged.
"I don't know the first verse is literally the only fun one to say." Inuyasha said and Miroku pouted with a NOOOO look. Kagome got up stretched and changed the channel. Sango smiled as she heard the words of a song playing. It was "4ever" by The Veronicas. Kagome smiled she liked this song and started taping and singing along with Sango.
Half Hour Later
"I'M BORED!" Kouga yelled. Sango rolled her eyes.
"You, Kouga, are always bored." Sango spoke then continued to eat the popcorn they brought on the trip. Kagome smiled and looked at the scenery again. It was really just the highway and some grass on the side. Then she looked at Inuyasha his hair was blowing and the sun was shining and all she wanted to do was run her fingers through his silver hair and...
"KAGOME! EARTH TO..." Sango was yelling but Kagome took her hand and placed it over Sango's mouth roughly to quiet her. The boys stared at Kagome.
"Sorry Sango! It's just... I'm so sorry!" Kagome was speaking to a shocked Sango. Then Sango laughed and Kagome stared dumbstruck at her.
"Uh... Sango?" Miroku asked her with a twitching eye. She nodded her head to him.
"I'm okay Miroku it's just I didn't expect that from you Kagome!" Then they all looked at Kagome who looked a little sick.
"I think I'm car sick." Kagome said to Inuyasha who rolled his eyes in a sort of caring way.
"Why didn't you say so before?" He said as he turned the radio down and slowed the car down. Then he continued, "You'll be fine Kagome. We're almost at the first stop." Miroku nodded and turned to look at Kagome and reassure her. She smiled turning a little pale as the car took a swerve into the rest stop area thingy. (lol idk what those are called but I can explain it. You know those places you go when you're driving someplace far away or maybe an hour or two away. Well it's one of those.)
"Finally somewhere to get out of this cramped car. I swear we should've taken my truck. It's HUGE!" Kouga spoke. Sango giggled a little and tugged on one of his ears.
"You're just bored sitting around. Come on, let's go get some food and drinks. Anyone need to use the restroom? Guys it's now or never." Sango said. Inuyasha and Miroku rolled their eyes like the kids they were and headed to the men's restroom. Kagome got out of the car too to walk with Sango and Kouga to get the food and drinks.
"Oh wait! Inuyasha, Miroku!" Kouga yelled to them as they were already almost at the bathrooms so he ran to catch up with them. "Sango wait a sec, I gotta ask em what they want." Kouga yelled as he ran to them with a cloud of dirt behind him. Sango laughed. Kagome just smiled she still wasn't feeling to good. When Kouga returned he looked a little happier that he got to run a little.
"Okay, they want a large double cheeseburger, two large fries, and a large chocolate shake... Yes Sango they both want two large fries... each." Kouga spoke to Sango who had that question in her mind then he continued, "I want the same thing." Sango gaped at him a little then turned around and headed for The Burger Place with Kagome by her side and Kouga smiling and walking a little behind them. (lol I made that name up! It's so flipping original!)
Five Minutes Later
"...So that'll be um, wow this is a lot for five people," The girl said. The boys rolled their eyes.
"Feh, we're hungry and we didn't have breakfast." Inuyasha growled out. The girl sighed and rolled her eyes.
'How rude.' She thought then said, "Okay so you're getting 3 large double cheeseburgers, 2 regular burgers one with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes, and eww I hate ranch dressing..." the girl said and Sango glared at her. The girl laughed nervously then continued, "hehe and ranch YUM dressing, uh where was I? Oh right, one with only cheese and a little lettuce, 6 large fries, 2 small fries, 3 large chocolate shakes, and two medium vanilla shakes. Okay is that all?" The girl asked.
They nodded but then Inuyasha had to ask even though he knew the answer, "Do you happen to have any Beef Ramen?" The girl laughed.
"This is a burger place, not a noodles place. But there's one across from here." (like a mall) The girl pointed to the place. "It's called The Noodle Place." She said then told them to wait a few moments for their order. Inuyasha walked straight to The Noodle Place. (Another original name huh? lol)
With Kagome following him
She didn't know why but she wanted to walk around so she walked with him while the others waited. Inuyasha looked back at her.
"You want some Ramen?" He asked her smiling a little. She shook her head with a no.
"I just wanted to walk a little is all." Kagome spoke and Inuyasha nodded then said, "Oh," and continued to walk to The Noodle Place. When he got there he ordered Beef Ramen. It came shortly after they got there and they returned back to the group. Sango was annoyed with Miroku and Kouga was eating an apple that came out of nowhere.
"Hey Sango what's wrong?" Kagome asked her friend. Sango simply pointed at Miroku and Miroku laughed nervously.
"He's such a pervert!" Sango yelled. Inuyasha smirked laughed at his friends stupidity and the red hand mark on the left side of his face. Kouga was just finishing his apple when the food came. They all gave the girl a look then walked off with their food.
"Huh, well that was rude. That wolf guy looked kinda familiar." She said with her back to them speaking to herself. Inuyasha's ears twitched and Kagome laughed. Kouga had stopped walking with a perplexed look on his face. Inuyasha laughed.
"Dude go back see why she said that." Inuyasha said. Kouga growled at him. When they got to the parking lot a girl came out of the building and was headed towards them. It was the same girl that took their order except she looked different. She wasn't wearing that ugly burger outfit. She had her hair in a loose pony tail that showed her auburn hair shining in the sun with reds, blondes, and a mixture of browns and she wasn't wearing that hair net. She wasn't wearing those stupid glasses that she didn't even need. In fact she was wearing tight black faded jeans, her shirt was a tight tank top that had a small gray white wolf on it in the middle of her breasts that sparkled. The other thing different about her was... she was a demon, a wolf demon.
"Oh my God." Sango said. "Yeah... I did not expect this." Kagome said. Kouga wasn't attracted to her but he did recognize her. She picked up her speed and ran to them with a smile.
"Hi." She said then continued, "You never asked me my name! How rude." She said to them and Kouga started to remember something when he was interrupted from the memory and couldn't go further into it.
"Well I'm telling you now, my name's Alexis. But you can call me Lexi." She smiled at them with her blue eyes. As a blue as Kouga's.
"Well Lexi, I'm Sango and this is Kagome, that's Inuyasha, he's really nice you just have to get used to his attitude, this is Kouga, good guy but can be annoying at times and goes on and on when trying to explain things, and this is Miroku, Miroku equals pervert so beware." Sango finished all the boys frowned at her and Kagome just nodded her head the whole time smiling at the girl.
"Right, gotcha," Alexis giggled then she continued, "So where are ya all headed?" She asked them.
Inuyasha answered, "Where just going to the fair a ways away." She laughed at what he said.
"You mean the annual fair? I'm headed there too it's called Tokyo Festival of Life. It's been going on for one hundred years now. You guys are in for a treat I hear their doing something special this year." Sango clapped her hands together and Kagome got all the more excited. Then Miroku got an idea.
"Hey Alexis... I mean Lexi, why don't you come with us? That way if we get lost you can show us the right directions and when we get to the fair you can hang with us." Miroku said. Alexis beamed at them.
"Hell yeah, I'll come you got any room for me in your car though? If ya don't I can use my car. If ya do I can leave my car here overnight it's cool with the boss." She said.
Then Inuyasha sighed and nodded his head with, "Yes she can fit... I think."
Then Kouga said, "Told ya we should've taken my truck. Lexi, we have room for literally one more person." Sango clapped her hands together again.
"I can't wait to get there!" Sango said Kagome nodded her head, she couldn't wait either.
"Okay who's driving? I can't anymore I'm tired." Inuyasha said and Miroku said he would and Lexi volunteered for the front. Kagome was in the back in the middle of Sango who was on her right, then Inuyasha who was on her inner left, and Kouga who was on her outer. Miroku turned the radio up as they drove out of the rest stop place.
"Hey, you guys do know you're going in the wrong direction right?" Lexi said as they drove on the highway. Miroku almost crashed into the car ahead of him but swerved in time. Kagome laughed and Miroku tensed up a little.
"Sorry about that." He said with a small laugh. They all blew it off then got to the matter at hand and the fact they were going in the wrong direction.
"Yeah you have to turn around. You guys made it harder for yourselves, it's going to take five hours now. How much was it going to take you guys originally?" Inuyasha growled annoyed with his mistake.
"Four hours. Heck what's an extra hour right?" They all looked at him with a "Do you reeeally believe what you just said?" look and he just said quietly, "Feh." Then Miroku turned around and they were headed in the right direction.
4 hours later
They had already passed two more stops and stopped at the second one for a bathroom stop but that was all. Kagome was getting bored very bored and Inuyasha was half asleep on her shoulder and his hair was driving her nuts because it kept blowing into her face. At first she didn't mind it, now she wanted to chop his hair off. Miroku was getting tired of driving but didn't say anything. They turned the radio off a while back for some quiet and so the others could try to catch some sleep. Sango was just dying of boredom and started doing Lexi's hair who didn't mind at all. She loved it when people did her hair. Kouga was wide awake and annoyed they didn't take his truck, everyone would've had a seat.
"Hey Miroku why don't you put the hood up it's getting kind of chilly." Lexi said nice and relaxed. Miroku agreed and closed the hood. Kagome sighed happily as Inuyasha's hair finally stopped blowing. He was asleep by now and leaning on her. Then he suddenly jerked awake.
"Whoa!" Kagome said surprised. Inuyasha looked at her.
"Something poked me!" Inuyasha said. They all laughed and Kouga forgot about the truck thing and Miroku wasn't so annoyed about the whole driving thing. Sango continued to do Lexi's hair and Lexi enjoyed it.
"Guys I'm serious!" Inuyasha said laughing a little too at how he said it and how random it really was. Then he lifted his shirt and a sharp pencil tip was in his stomach. Kagome gasped. She had forgotten about her pictures she brought and the pencil in her pocket. Inuyasha growled a little then quickly pulled it out with no pain.
"I'm so sorry Inuyasha I didn't remember about my pencil." Kagome said. He shook his head.
"It's okay Kagome. Hey you got me back, I didn't ask to use you as a pillow and I did." Inuyasha said and Kagome laughed. She wanted to use him as a pillow now but she didn't say anything. He smiled and put his head back a little on the seat looking at the ceiling.
"Hey guys, we're here!" Lexi said. "Just take this right Miroku and we can find a hotel then go to the first night of the fair! Miroku I'm excited put the hood down." Miroku obeyed and turned the radio on again. They went down the city street where a huge crowd was with a little traffic.
"Hey Miroku drive to the Holiday Inn over there." Lexi said. Her hair was beautifully done by Sango. It was in a high pony tail with her hair elegantly wrapped around the pony tail once and through to make a bun like knot.
"I love your hair Lexi!" Kagome said as they pulled into the parking lot at the Holiday Inn.
Half Hour Later
"Why was it so hard to get a room?" Kouga asked as he flopped onto one of the beds. Then he regretted it.
"DUDE! I twisted my tail!" Kouga said in pain. Lexi walked over to him.
"It's okay let me help you." Before Kouga could object she pulled his tail and turned it in the opposite direction of the twist the pushed his tail in a little then tugged out.
"See, all better!" Lexi said. A look of remembrance came on her face and she smiled slightly with a small laugh.
"My brother used to do that all the time. He would be ready to go to bed and then boom, he'd flop on the bed and twist his tail." Lexi said laughing. Kouga gaped at her slightly.
"You know I used to do that a lot. My sis would help me and she was always like the older sister even though everyone knew I was the older brother." Kouga said. Everyone was quiet for a moment then Kagome shifted from one foot to the other and her papers in her shirt made a crinkling sound.
"A gay baby was just born." Inuyasha said randomly. Miroku shook his head and laughed. Kagome was so confused.
"Don't ya know Kagome that every awkward silence between people a gay baby is born?" Kouga asked her explaining why Inuyasha had said what he did. Kagome, Sango, and Lexi all laughed now understanding.
"That's funny. Where the hell did you hear that one?" Sango asked. Inuyasha shrugged not remembering.
"I heard it from Kouga, Kouga heard it from Miroku, and Miroku heard it from his parents." Inuyasha explained then continued slightly frustrated, "It's a thing that just you know goes on and stuff." Kagome smiled.
'He's so bad at explaining things.' Kagome smiled inwardly.
"OKAY! So who wants to go to the fair now or tomorrow so we can rest?" Sango asked. Lexi smiled and looked at Sango knowing what Sango wanted to do.
"Well we can have a 'slumber party' and play some truth or dare and shit." Lexi said then continued, "OR we could have some fun at the fair, come home early, have a 'slumber party' and play some truth or dare and shit." Sango liked the second one best. Kagome did too.
"Choice number two sounds best." Miroku said with the hotel key in his hand. "Let's go." They all walked to the door. But before they left Kagome stopped them all.
"Anybody got a plan to how we go about doing this?" Kagome said. Inuyasha smirked.
"Yeah," Inuyasha said and Kagome looked at him and when he didn't answer she asked him, "Well, what is it?" Kagome asked and Inuyasha laughed.
"We play it by ear, that's our plan Kags." Inuyasha said as he walked out the door with a very confused Kagome.
Well that's the chapter for ya! The only reason it was soooo late is because my computer broke. Also I was in a Drama Production that took up all my time so I couldn't update. Also plz don't hate me for not updating soon enough. Next time they're at the fair and slumber party shit will happen... lol
