A.N: I dunno if my story is cool enough for an abbreviation, but…

The dreaded chapter is here! I now have to describe a song! But, thankfully I have a tactic. I am going to compose a Ballad of some sort, after I hear some, then just describe it. If I make this story too hard to write I won't want to write it, or keep writing at the rate I'm going. School starts next Tuesday, gotta watch out for Freshman Friday.

Tea Garden Scales Chapter 5 –

Placing his guitar over his chest he put the music out in front of him. They both were sharing an awkward moment, and were silent as Kikyo played her scales. Inuyasha joined her softly, playing only the bare minimum. Both the musicians were stealing glances at the other during the scales and finally during the last scale they meet eye to eye. Inuyasha stopped complete with Kikyo slowing down immensely. Kikyo's deep, brown orbs had their golden counterpart immersed. Searching his black pupil, Kikyo tried to find answers, but ended up staring into his face. After almost a minute they both looked away. It seemed Kikyo had slowly finished the scale.

Wanting to start some sort of conversation before they started the song, Kikyo looked at him and spoke.

"Inuyasha, you really should get a stand."

Inuyasha opened his mouth to 'Keh ' at her but instead, he replied kindly, "I know."

Kikyo smiled sweetly at him. It was the cutest thing he had ever seen. She took out her sheet music and placed it on the stand. She tried to not look at him, but it was hard to look away from a staring man.

"Yes?"

He looked away quickly, "Nothing. Let's just play the stu-"Inuyasha peered at her, she was carefully touching her face. Kikyo was thinking, is my face really interesting? I had no idea…She smiled. Realizing Inuyasha had just said something, she looked at him again.

"That stupendous song was it?" she said in a teasing voice.

"No, the stupid song."

She frowned, "Shall we play it?"

"Yeah."

The song started off slow, both the piano and guitar sharing an into. It then broke off into a very nice melody, with the piano and guitar switching off on the lead. It was obvious they had both practiced the song but it was not perfect. They both started to fumble as a complicated, intricate layer developed. And before they finished the song, they both stopped.

" Told 'ja it was stupid."

Kikyo frowned, shouldn't she be able to play it?

The rest of the hour they both worked on the song together. It took them 3 days to finally master it. Kikyo had even brought rice balls for them both, and she noticed that Inuyasha had begun to curse less and ease into a more comfortable position around her.

" Finally got that stupid song, haven't we!"

" Stupendous."

Inuyasha smirked at her, " Yeah, right."

THAT WAS JUST A BIT, THAT'S NOT THE FULL THING. I hate short chappie's too, but I feel like I need to give sometime to this one. Thanks!
