~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That week was spent with nonstop talking about the dance and how about ten kids ended up in the hospital and who knows how many didn't but got really hurt. Other than that nothing really happened at school. Although everyone else had the dance on their mind, Inuyasha wondered something else. The entire week he has been trying to get Kagome to talk more about why she stopped singing but he got was "It was my dad and mine thing. It didn't feel right to keep singing if he wasn't there to care." He wanted a better answer and he wanted one NOW!
That Friday Inuyasha asked Kagome if she wanted to go to the park to hear some local bands play.
"Sounds like fun, sure" was Kagome's reply.
So that Saturday at around noon he went to Kagome's house only to be greeted by her brother Souta.
"She had to go pick up some book she ordered from the bookstore. She'll be back in a few minutes." Souta said, "You can stay if you want"
Inuyasha walked into the house. "Hey Songo said you know why Kagome's stopped singing." He said.
"Sadly, come on, I'll show you."
The boys walked into Souta's room which was filled with burned . he had a video camera that could put Miroku's to shame, and Miroku was really good one too. And his computer had a lot of media editors installed to it.
"You have a lot of stuff in here for a twelve your old."
"Yeah I get that a lot. Dad realized I had a gift for making videos at a young age, but unlike my sister, I stayed with it." Souta said as he put a C.D in his computer.
"This is one of my dad's videos. From three years ago. You need to see this first." Souta said starting the video.
(Authors Note: anything in bold is what's going on they watch the movie)
"Alright, let's see what girls are doing. I think they're outside" A man who sounded close to the camera like he might have been filming said. Inuyasha assumed it was their dad. The man moved to the back door and out a twelve year old Kagome and a sixteen year old Rin. Rin was playing the guitar and Kagome was singing, but stopped when she saw her dad. The girls smiled.
"Hey girls, what you up to?" he asked.
"I learned 'Black Horse and a Cherry Tree' and Kagome is singing." Rin said proudly.
"Sounds nice I bet the future viewers would love to hear it." Their father said.
"Ok!" The Girls said together.
"From the top" Ring said. Kagome nodded
"Two, three, four!" Kagome called and ring started playing.
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
I felt a little fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking.
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
When the big black horse that looked this way,
Said hey lady, will you marry me?
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
But I said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
ooooo,woo-hoo
Inuyasha was shocked at how nice she sounded at a that age.
And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that,
And it won't forgive me after all these years
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
So I sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
Now it won't come back , cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see
woo-hoo,woo-hoo
But it said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no,no-no-no
Said no, no, you're not the one for me
Kagome pated her left thigh to the beat of the song. She looked like she was having so much fun. She looked so happy.
ooooo,woo-hoo
not the one for me, yeah!
ooooo,woo-hoo
Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me
Said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me
"Beautiful girls! I can't wait till you two are on TV and I can tell everyone that those are my girls!" the man said.
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cause they've all forsaken me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cause they've all forsaken me
"Thank you everyone!" Kagome said as she bowed. Rin bowed as well.
"We'll like to thank our biggest fan, our dad. For without him mom would have made us stop five minutes after we started" Rin said. Everyone laughed
"Mom never did like all the 'noise' they made." Souta said.
"We would also like to thank our brother Souta for making the most awesomeness music video ever!" Kagome said, pretending to hold up a trophy with one hand and wiped away a pretend tear with the other, "I promised myself I wasn't going to cry." She said making her voice sound like she really was crying.
Souta turned off the video and took it out of the computer.
"She's good." Inuyasha said.
"Yeah; Dad show my cousin Yumi this video and she wanted them to sing at her birthday that year. She's always had a great voice." Souta said as he put in a new video. "Ok this one's from about a year later. I'm filming it this time. It's sad because this is the last video we have of our dad. He died like two weeks later."
"Sorry" was all Inuyasha could think of to say. Souta started the video.
"Ready Dad!" Souta's voice called out. A know thirteen year old Kagome was standing next to a man who looked like an older version of Souta. The man had the guitar Rin used the last video. Songo was there too, standing next to Kagome. sitting next to Songo was Rin with a new guitar.
"Dad just bought Rin that guitar and she always wanted to play something with dad which is why they all did this." Souta explained.
"Alright, is everyone ready?" Their dad asked. the girls nodded their heads. "Alright; This is Kagome and Songo singing 'Do You Believe in Magic' With Rin and myself on guitar. One, two, three, go." And with that he and Rin began to play
Songo
Do you believe in magic?
In a young girls heart
How the music can free her
whenever it starts
And it's magic
if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old time movie
Kagome
I'll tell ya about the magic
It'll free your soul
but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock n rollBoth
If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen
Kagome
It'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Songo
Your feet start tapping
And you can't seem to find
How you got there
So just blow your mind
Kagome
If you believe in magic
Come along with me
We'll dance until morning, just you and me
Both
and maybe,
Songo
if the music is right
I'll meet ya tomorrow
so late at night
Both
We'll go a dancin' baby then you'll see
all the magic's in the music and the music's in me, yeah
Songo
Do you belive in magic? Yeah.
Both
Believe in the magic in a young girl's soul
believe in the magic of rock n roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohhhh, talkin' bout magic
Do you believe like I believe?
Do you believe in magic?
"That sounded Nice!" Souta said when they finished, "The greatest thing on MyVeiw just you wait." (yes i just made that up)
"We never uploaded it on MyView." Souta said, taking the video out. "After this they wanted to try another song. I forgot which song but they never did it. Once dad died, Rin didn't play as much and Kagome full out stopped singing. Mom always said that singing wasn't something to be taken seriously. She never supported Kagome or Rin. Dad was the only one. So when he died so did Kagome's singing." Souta let out a sigh. "I miss hearing live music out my window."
"That's horrible. She was so good and she stopped. No wonder Songo wants her start again." Inuyasha said.
"Oh Songo has a different reason. After Kagome stopped singing she wasn't the same. She used to be so happy. Now when she smiles it's almost always fake."
Inuyasha was surprised. She always looked happy to him. He never would have known that deep down she was sad.
"Mom wants her to be like Kikyou; Get good grades, be popular, Like how she was when she a kid." Souta said, "She's always comparing Kagome to Kikyou. More than once I've heard Kagome cry in her room because of it."
"A lot of people wish she were like Kikyou." Inuyasha murmured.
"Well I don't. And I hope neither do you."
"Trust me, I want her to stay different. I want to help get her back to her old self."
Souta smiled, "Good to know there's some good guys out there." He chuckled.
At that point Kagome walked in. Inuyasha got out of Souta's room and went outside to his car with Kagome.
"He showed the videos didn't he?" Kagome asked when they were both in the car.
"About you, Rin and Your dad? Yeah, he did." Inuyasha replied, "You were so good. I really think you should sing again."
"Yeah you and Rin and Songo think so too."
"So why don't you?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked at the floor of the car and said nothing.
"Talk to me Kagome. Please?" he begged.
"I can't sing without my dad. It's not the same." She whispered. Inuyasha could smell the tears that were threatening to come out. Inuyasha stopped the car on the curb.
"Kagome, do you honestly think you dad would've wanted you to stop? He was so proud of you in the videos." He said, he gently moved Kagome's face so that she was looking at him. "You were so happy and had so much fun. How is it possible that you stopped?"
Kagome just looked at him and said nothing.
"Will sing again? Everyone wants you to. Who gives a rat's ass what your mom says? As long as you're happy I'm sure she'll be ok with it too." Inuyasha said.
"Why are you trying so hard at this?" Kagome asked.
"Because I want you to smile like the way you did in the videos. I don't want to have to wonder if the smile you're showing everyone is real or not."
Kagome gave him a small smile, "One condition."
"Name it."
"Kiss me."
Inuyasha smiled and gladly kissed Kagome. That unexplainable magic was there yet again.
"And between you and me, I never fully gave up singing." Kagome said when they separated.
"How so, beautiful?" Inuyasha asked.
"I wrote a song recently, well right now it's more of a poem, really."
"Learn to play the guitar and we can change it into a song."
Kagome smiled. "I'd like that."
"Since we're on the subject of we like, would you like to be my girlfriend? I know I would."
Kagome blushed and kissed him. This time wrapping her arms around his neck. Inuyasha held on to her waist.
"I'll take that as a yes." Inuyasha said and kissed her again.
