Disclaimer: I hate my lawyers and I hate disclaimers 'cause they make me sad. Wack! "OWWW!" mutterstupidlawyersmutter
FINE…I own (you hear in the background "Say it")…
RumikoTakahashiownsInuyasha. There…I said it. Happy you horrible lawyer-people you! (Can see them nodding their heads and laughing at my misery) whisper there so evil whisper-wack! -again with the hitting!
Ahem…NOW ON TO THE STORY!
Once upon a time…wait wrong story :D
-At a random Karaoke bar-
Everyone is singing and having a good time. Even Kagome thinks that this is the best distraction from her problems for she is actually enjoying herself. Not noticing that there, lurking in the shadows is none other than…dun dun dun!...Inuyasha (what you thought it was Naraku? Nah, cause that would be to unpredictable, you knew it was him :D). As he watches Kagome enjoy herself a small smile begins to grace his features for he realizes that 'at least she'll have been in a good mood before she yells at me'. It was then that he notices that Kagome's crazy friends are trying to get her to go up and sing something into the strange musical box-thingy. In the back of his mind he really wants to hear her sing, but his pride tells him that he shouldn't be so excited about it.
'It's just singing Inuyasha. There's nothing special about it.'
'But she's got a beautiful voice, and I love hearing her sing.'
'What's happened to you, you are such a wimp. The real Inuyasha wouldn't care about some wench's voice.'
'But I do, because I've heard her sing to Shippo, and for once I'd like her to sing to me without being so frikkin' self-conscience about it.'
'Well you might just get your wish.'
'What are you talking about?'
'Just look up there stupid.'
It was then that Inuyasha noticed that Kagome had in fact gotten up onto the stage to sing. As she picks up the mic, the music begins and the next thing he hears is the beautiful voice he had ever heard. For you see Kikyo could sing, but Kagome could really SING. There were many differences between the two of them but when Kagome, before she had left to go home told him that she truly thought that,
-flashback-
"All I am to you is a stupid jewel shard detector. I'll never be anything more to you and I can't deal with the thought of that. It just hurts way too much for me to handle. I know that you probably can't hear me Inuyasha, but I want to let you know that…"
"Kagome! We've got more herbs for you to help get the poison out of Inuyasha!"
"…Nevermind…"
Inuyasha wanted to ring the little runt's head off her interrupting Kagome like that. But he knew that she thought that he was still unconscious from the poison so he just laid there and let her help him. It took all of his will power to do so, but he knew that she would be more furious with him if she knew he had heard what he heard. So he let sleep overtake him.
The next time he had woken up he decided to actually get up and stretch some of his tired muscles. As he stands Kagome comes in to check on him. "Oh I see that you're feeling better. That's good to hear, 'cause Miroku says he got word of some demons attacking a small village not too far from here. So as soon as you're well enough I'll tell Miroku we can…"
Inuyasha grabbed her in his arms and held on to her like life itself. She freezes, just for a moment, before melting into his embrace. The moment didn't last long for he decided to ask, "What did you want to tell me?" "What did you say?" "What…um did you want to tell me?" "You heard what I said?" "Well just up until the point where the runt came in with more stuff." "You jerk! Why did you have to tell me you heard all that? It was supposed to be in confidence with myself." "Why didn't you tell me you felt that way?" "I'm pretty sure I have on several occasions, but you never listen!" "I just wanted to know what you were gonna say…" "Please don't ask Inuyasha, I'd rather you not know." "Keh, fine wench." As soon as he said the "w" word she ran off as fast as she could to the well, leaving behind just a trail of dust. 'Shit, shit, shit! Now I've really screwed up, and I still don't know what she wanted to say.'
-Back the Karaoke bar-
Kagome decided to pick a song that encompassed her feelings about the situation, not knowing that the certain someone it was about was standing in a corner of the building mulling over his feelings for her. The song was called Machine Gun by Sara Bareilles. The reason she picked the song was because she had heard the song once on the radio and felt that it was scary how accurate the lyrics were, so why not sing how she felt.
Tell me off in a letter
Completely ignore me
Getting high off of saying
Why you don't adore me?
Baby, please, I'm well versed
In how I might be cursed
I don't need it articulated
Stand in line wasting
All of your time just to hate me
Every dime gone to ways
You can find that might bait me
And drag me down, sight set proudly
Bring me to the ground see
You love to be somebody's enemy
Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun
Locked and loaded
You're practically floating away now
In your fortress you feel like
You're more or less safe now
But let me say I don't mean harm
Oh, but, baby, you'd be charming if you'd come undone
Get back where you started from
Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun
Never mind how you've rationed your time
And the battle is underway
Maybe times are gonna change
Don't just hide in the silence behind
What you've really been trying to say
What a skill, baby, aiming to kill me
With words you don't mean
Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun
After the song finished, Kagome received huge amounts of applause and walked back to where her friends were sitting only to tell them that she had a great time and that she was gonna go home. Her friends told her that they had had way too much fun and said that they would take her home. She decided that that would be fine. Inuyasha following her all the way home.
-At Kagome's house-
"Mom I'm home!" Kagome called out. "Hi dear, how was your day out?" "It was actually really good, I felt so much better honestly." "That's really good sweetie. I'm so glad you had a good time, cause all the stuff you do in the feudal era can really take it out of you I bet." "Yeah, yeah it can…Well, goodnight mom." "Night sweetie." After several moments of silence, "Inuyasha, when you're done spying you might want to go upstairs and talk to Kagome before she goes to sleep." Startled, Inuyasha just nodded his head and went outside onto the roof and approached her window.
A.N.
Hope y'all enjoyed this chappie!
I decided to be lazy and not explain the lyrics. I decided to go with the subtle messages of the song because again I was being lazy, and because I felt that I didn't really need to explain what Kagome was trying to get across to Inuyasha. If I get enough people wanting the references/lyrics to be explained I can just reupload. No biggie. Again, most of the lyrics are figure-able (sp?), but if anyone has any questions about them just let me know. I will be more than happy to explain.
Btw, I'm thinking of writing another songfic using a Sara Bareilles song. If you guys like how this one turns out let me know. I'll probably write it any way just cause it's bugging me to be written. It's like she's seen the show, the lyrics match so well! No joke!
Thanks to all my readers and reviewers! I really appreciate it!
