Chapter two

"What!?" I screamed at the two people sitting across from me. "I thought I was the lead singer?!?!?"

Sango laughed, her long black hair tied up into a ponytail. "Inu, that was only temporary since Kikyo left. You know you can only permanently handle the guitar."

I glared at her. "No freakin' WAY is some stupid school girl going to take Kikyo's place." I growled. "You have no idea what sort of mistake your making. The only one who is even SLIGHTLY able to take over Kikyo's spot is me!"

Miroku looked bored. "Inuyasha, you WISH you could take Kikyo's place. You can't even compete." He shook his head and brushed his fingers through his long black hair. It was almost down to his shoulders now, and I was tempted to hand him a piece of string and tell him that if he didn't tie it up then I would. Suddenly Sango brought me back from my thoughts.

"Yeah. This girl might be closer to that Kikyo than you give her credit for." She added. I doubted it and continued my hateful appearance. This girl was going to be NOTHING like Kikyo. Kikyo was perfect. She had beautiful perfect looks, a beautiful perfect voice, and the perfect emotion with which to sing the lyrics I had written. I loved her so much with my whole being.

And what had she done?

She'd walked all over with me with her beautiful perfect black boots and hightailed it past our local band to a "hot, new" popular band that was featured on MTV, VHI and almost every movie theatre pre-preview mini episode. She was everywhere and I could no longer see her.

And I hated it.

I chuckled in anger, and Sango winced. She looked at me with a concerned glint in her eye.

She knew what I thought. Kikyo had been her best friend and had left without a word to her. She had said goodbye to me. I wasn't sure which goodbye was worse.

The breakup or the silence.

Miroku looked finally looked up during our silent exchange. He stood as if preparing to leave, then turned to face us.

"Sango. Inuyasha. You need to get over this. Kikyo is worth nothing because she left us."

Your Wrong! I thought. She was everything! And she still is!

"If you fools don't get out of this slump, I will have to leave to. You both are ridiculous. Forget about her. Remember, Kagome comes tomorrow. Don't be so angry around her, unless you want to scare her away too."

Had I really scared her away?

Kikyo……I loved her….
