Chances
Chapter 10
That's my song... oh and my brother
Disclaimer: You know I've gotten tired of repeating myself. It's not mine.
So Sorry. I could just sit here typing up a bunch of apologies and waste my computer time giving you a detailed description of the loss of my data but instead I'll make it up to you by giving you the chapter instead.
Well here it is.
"Miroku if you don't get your hand off my leg now I'm gonna beat you senseless." Sango threatened.
"Oops. Sorry my hand must have slipped." Miroku apologized with a look in his eye that stated that he clearly was not.
"Oh so you must be extremely clumsy seeing that that was about the tenth time today." Sango said reveling that she didn't believe him at all.
"Well it appears it has a mind of its own when around you my dear Sango. And if I recall you didn't seem to mind when it slipped there a little earlier."
Miroku stated now with a predatory gleam in his eyes.
Don't start with me pervert." Sango warned.
"But Sango I'm just stating a fact. If my memory serves me well, which it does, I believe it was me who had to peel you off of me." He said with open amusement evident in his voice.
Sango blushed as she remembered her earlier wanton behavior.
"Will you just shut up about that and drive." Sango said through clenched teeth as she turned to look out the window.
"As you wish my dear." Miroku said slowing down at the light before coming to a complete stop.
As the light turned green Sango turned back to face Miroku.
"I almost forgot, but I'm letting you know now don't try and pull anything in front of Kohaku monk."
"Whatever do you mean" Miroku relied feigning innocence.
"You know darn well what I'm talking about."
Miroku sighed, "Don't worry Sango I promise I will behave my self when in front of your brother." He said clearly stressing the part about her brother. Behind closed doors was a whole other situation.
Sango shivered and turned around clearly understanding what he was implying.
After another moment of silence Sango looked up and said, "Here's Kohaku's school. Just pull up to the front."
As Miroku pulled up in front of the school Sango spotted Kohaku walking alongside two of his friends.
"Hey Kohaku let's go" Sango called to him.
Spotting his sister still in the car, he turned and said bye to his friends "See ya Rika, Justin. Tell Ruka I'll talk to him later."
"Okay bye Kohaku." They said before running over to some of their other friends.
"Hey sis. You're late." he said running up to the car.
"Really I hadn't noticed." Sango drawled, sarcasm dripping from every word.
"Now who's the comedian?"
'You know for someone complaining about lateness you sure are taking your sweet time getting in." Sango said
Miroku smirked at the sibling quibble.
At that moment Kohaku loaded himself into Miroku's black 2005 Excursion.
"Oh and let me introduce you to my boss/ partner Mr."
Miroku cut her off "Miroku, just Miroku."
"Wait you Miroku as in Miroku of Tensaiga Records." Kohaku asked
"Yes that would be me."
Kohaku snapped around to stare at his sister so fast she was surprised he didn't get whip lashed. "Hey Sango you didn't tell me that you were working for this Record company."
"Well I didn't want to make it a big deal."
"Didn't want to make it a big deal! Sango their the largest and best music and entertainment in Asia. It's already a big deal."
"Well when you put it that way." She trailed off.
"Wait till Ruka and the others find out they're gonna flip."
"Well I'm glad you approve your sister working with us." Miroku said to him.
"How could I not approve you guys rock."
"Well then your going t like this even more seeing as that's where we're headed right now.
"Really, why?" Kohaku asked
"Well we did both take off in the middle of a very important work day, Haku." Sango said.
"Oh yeah today your song airs on the radio, cool. All my friends are going to be listening for it."
"Well then we should to Miroku said turning on the radio.
"Is this your brother's school Inuyasha?' Kagome asked as Inuyasha parked in front of the school littered with kids.
"Yup." He said getting out of his beige Excursion.
(Yes the guys in this story like to have matching rides.)
Walking towards the school he spotted Shippo standing around with a couple of his classmates.
"Hey Shippo!" He called. "Let's go runt."
Waving goodbye to his friends Shippo ran up to Inuyasha.
"Hey I thought I told you not to call me that."
"Keh, whatever brat. Just get in the car."
"Inuyasha you're so mean to me." Shippo complained as he got in the car.
"Oh my gosh he's so cute. You must Shippo right." Kagome squealed
"Yeah I am and you must be Kagome right?"
"Yeah how'd you know?"
"I know everything my two idiot brothers do and I don't understand why a nice girl like you would want to hang with this idiot."
"Hey who are you calling an idiot ya little runt."
See Sesshoumaru's much nicer than you at least he doesn't call me names." Shippo said and then pouted.
"Keh, like I care what Sesshoumaru does or doesn't do." he snorted
"Hey Inuyasha stop picking on your brother he's just a kid." Kagome scolded.
"Yeah I'm just a innocent lonely kid with two older brother who like to pick on me." Shippo said giving his sad story.
"Aww, poor Shippo. You see what you did Inuyasha, you made him upset."
"Puh-lease, spare me." Inuyasha muttered. He didn't see why she had to take his side.
"See Kagome, he doesn't care" Shippo complained.
"Yes he does. You know what we should all go for Ice's ice cream. Right Inuyasha?" Kagome said smiling and giving him a look that said 'say yes please'.
Inuyasha sighed in resignation and wondered when he became so helpless to say no to Kagome.
"Fine we'll go."
"Yay." Both Kagome and Shippo yelled and Inuyasha smiled a little. It looked like those two were getting along just fine.
"But we got to make it quick because your song is supposed to premiere soon. The others would kill me if they found out I let you miss out on it."
"Oh yeah I almost forgot that your song was coming on today. I heard the demo and it sounded great. I liked it a lot. You guys are really good I'm surprised my brothers were actually smart enough to sign you. Then again you have to have absolutely no brains not to." He said flattering Kagome and insulting Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru at the same time.
"Watch it brat." Inuyasha warned so only he could hear it and sent him a glare in the mirror.
Shippo just stuck out his tongue at Inuyasha.
Kagome oblivious to all this turned to Shippo and said, "you and your brother are very sweet you know that."
"Hmm I like this one and those two as well." Rin told Sesshoumaru who peering at Rin's choices for her pictures for the album art and publicity posters over her shoulder.
They were in Sesshoumaru's office with the pictures from the photo lab.
Sesshoumaru nodded his head in agreement though he really wasn't as interested in the photos as he was in the girl in them.
For some reason he had to comprehend he found himself thinking about her and her hyper behavior.
Though he would rather pull out his own tongue than admit it, he was attracted to her and she was constantly making him want to smile with her bold and carefree personality.
Seeing as she was basically his opposite, with her being very open and expressive and he was rarely expressive, this baffled and confused him.
Rin straightened up a bit so she was now leaning against his chest and his breathe caught in his throat when she turned and looked up at him with a smile on her face.
"Sesshy I like this one the best for the promo." Rin told him.
And here was another thing. When had she taken to calling him that and when did he become okay with it.
Just as he was sorting these things out, a loud high pitched and annoying voice called out. "Mister Sesshoumaru" from the opposite side of his closed door.
"Enter Jaken."
As he said this in stumbled in a short greenish looking man.
"Excuse me sir but I just came to tell you that the song is about to premiere."
'That's fine Jaken you may leave. Oh and be sure to tell Kouga."
"But I just told him.'
Was Ayame with him?'
"Yes."
"Then tell him again he tends to forget things when he's with her."
"Oh. Well then I'm on it sir." He squeaked and stumbled back out of the room.
Rin giggled after he was gone.
"He's a funny little man."
"Is that so?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Well I think he is." Rin said and turned to find she staring right back at Sesshoumaru.
Rin's gaze lingered on his and then traveled up to the pale blue crescent moon on his forehead.
"I think it's very beautiful." Rin said in awe as she reached up and ran her fingers across it gently caressing it.
Sesshoumaru reached up and took her hand and used it to draw her closer.
Before she could say or do anything he captured her lips.
Rin immediately responded and began to enthusiastically kiss him back like she does everything, with energy.
Rin reached up and wrapped her aims around his neck. Sesshoumaru lifted Rin and sat her on his desk and then leaned in for better access. Their bodies were pressed closely together and they were experiencing pure bliss.
"Now here's the premiere song of Midnight Kisses 'Until It's Over."
Rin pulled back from Sesshoumaru and nearly screamed "that's our song. Oh my gosh this is real. We're on the radio.
Rin then proceeded to dance around the office while Sesshoumaru watched.
Similar reactions took place with the others.
Kouga pulled back a little breathlessly as Ayame began to squeal into their kiss.
"That is us. Mad cool. Were actually on the radio Kouga." She said hugging his body close to hers, "can you believe it Kouga that's us. That's my friends."
"Well actually I can believe it seeing as I helped make it happen and I do this for a living." Kouga replied laughing into her neck as he nuzzled it.
"The others must be so excited," she said giggling and moaning at the same time.
Miroku, Kohaku do you that it's us. Oh gosh it's us. This is unbelievable. I've got to call the others." She said happily.
"This is wicked awesome!" Kohaku said also pulling out his phone to call his friends.
Miroku chuckled at the sight.
Hello! Sango I know I'm listening to it too. This is so amazing. I just got off the phone with mom and the others."
Inuyasha rubbed his ears from all the screaming while Shippo sat in the back happily eating his ice cream.
"Hold on I'm gonna connect us to Ayame and Rin."
And it went on like this until they were all connected.
The girls were all chatting happily and at the same time about their song being on the radio Kagome actually was on the verge of tears. Every one winced when a simultaneous shout of that's our song went off. They were very happy and nothing and nobody could possibly ruin their good mood.
Well there you have it and guess what I like it better than the first version. There wasn't any relationship development for Rin and Sesshy in the other one.
This chapter is both a dedication and apology to all my faithful reviewers.
Thanks for waiting for me.
Another one will be posted some time tomorrow.
Lub ya all
