Chapter 3
Kagome laughed as Sango pushed her nose against a display window. "Oh, maybe that! Mommy, can we get that?" she cooed, imitating a five year old. Kagome laughed harder. It had been an hour since they've been at the mall and Kagome had found something to wear-a white corset top with a black, knee length, leather skirt, and high-heeled, black, shoes. They had stopped by the salon to get their hair done-Sango with two curly pigtails on each side of her head, with gray highlights and Kagome had a messy bun with a few curls here and there, highlighted white.
Sango pulled on Kagome's arm and they entered a store called Punkodelic. (I do not know if there's a real store named that.) "Sango, slow down. I have heels on!" just as she said that, she tripped on a fallen skirt and tripped into a man. He turned, unfortunately making the two fall with Kagome on top of him. "Oh, hey Kagome. How many times are we gonna meet like this?" he smirked. Kagome smiled. She picked herself up and rolled her eyes.
"Maybe if you're lucky, many more," she smirked back. Inuyasha blushed, turning to retrieve the shirt he dropped. "What are you doing here?" Kagome asked. She searched for Sango. Apparently, she was over by the bras, smiling a plan.
"Hold on, I gotta call someone." Kagome took out her cell and dialed Sango's number. She watched Sango pick it up. "Before you say you're ridiculous line, it's Kagome. And do NOT wear just a bra and jeans to the first day of school. Bye," Kagome hung up. Sango now pouted and moved towards the shirts. Kagome laughed.
Inuyasha just looked at her like she was crazy and shook her arm. Kagome stopped immediately, blushing. "Oh, um, sorry. Anyway, Sango and I are here looking for school clothes. I found something. Miss Picky on the other hand is dragging me through every store!"
Inuyasha shook his head. He held up a shirt that said, If Life's Worth Living-I've Been Lied To. "I'm looking for something to wear to our concert. It's suppose to kick off the school year tomorrow," he explained. Kagome smiled. She remembered how they would practice at the park. She used to be the lead singer.
"Who's the singer now?" she asked, picking up a pair of black khakis with chains. Inuyasha shifted to one foot, biting his bottom lip. Kagome glanced at him, dropping the khakis and smiling. "Stop. You always bite your lip. That's why it's bleeding," she said. Inuyasha rubbed his lip with his hand and stopped fidgeting.
"Kikyo."
"Hm?" Kagome was looking for Sango, not really paying attention. Inuyasha grabbed her arms, turning her towards him.
"Kikyo is the new lead singer, okay?" when Kagome heard this, she shook her head, smiling, expecting him to be kidding.
"That's insane. You can't actually make me believe that-," Kagome saw his expression and she stopped smiling. "What the hell? I wanted anyone. ANYONE but Kikyo to be the lead singer." Inuyasha cringed as she went into her French language. Kagome was half French, and half Japanese. She never really spoke in French that much. So when she did, you knew she was angry. He tried to keep up; he had studied French while visiting a cousin in France.
But she was going too fast. She was speaking rapidly non-stop. She was pacing and throwing her hands in the air. And he was too helpless. So imagine his gratitude when Sango marched over, declaring that there was nothing in here and she'd just go with the dress she saw in Punklican. Kagome marched out with her, not even looking back at Inuyasha.
Kagome had to admit; the dress Sango picked out was sexy and nice. It was black, knee length, a slit going all the way to her thigh on one side, and a V-neck just above her breasts. Sango decided to pair that with fishnet stockings and ankle boots. Finally, they said goodbye to each other and went home. Kikyo was talking on the phone with one of her friends, Yuka Tamaha. Kagome absolutely hated Yuka. Yuka always led Inuyasha on and played with his emotions. So, Kagome pressed the receiver button and held up her hand before Kikyo could protest.
"Can it, Kikyo! I want to know how the hell you get off taking my place in the band! You know I love being a singer. And it was never your dream to become one. You even hated when I joined the band. You said singers were a stupid thing to become. So, what's this about, huh? Are you just trying to hold on to Inuyasha by making them look good? Huh, sis? Did you use this against your advantage to get Inuyasha? Fuck, Kikyo! Why can't you just get a life of your own!?" Kagome was waiting for Kikyo to snap back.
Kikyo only handed her a bracelet. "They kicked me out of the band, since you're here," she explained quietly. Kikyo got up from her place on the couch and walked up to her room. Kagome breathed slowly. She looked at the bracelet, the one everyone in the band made to show they were a band. It was black with their band name in red letters-O.B.D. O.B.D stood for Obviously Breaking Down. That's how Kagome felt; she was about to break down.
