White Girls Kick Widow Ash Chapter 8, an inuyasha fanfic

White Girls Kick Widow Ash

"Get ready," Kouga bent down, one hand touching the ground, the opposite leg stretched out behind him in the traditional running stance, "Get set," Ayame took the same pose, "Go!" They both took off down the sidewalk that led to Cinderella Hotel, down to the end, where Inuyasha was waiting with a camera.

Kagome and Rin were practically bent forward in anticipation. They had held a song writing competition between Sango and Miroku, posted the songs online, and Sango had won 63/47. But Miroku had insisted that it was only because there were more girls than boys who voted. So they came up with the next idea. Who had the better voice, Kagome or Inuyasha? They posted a video online. Inuyasha won 59/41. Kagome insisted that was because half of the population was tone deaf. So then came the next idea. Who was the best bass player between Rin and Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru won when he took advantage of his naturally long fingers and demon reflexes, taking bass to the fullest. Rin insisted that was an unfair advantage, demon reflexes, that is. So Ayame and Kouga, both wolf demons, decided to have a race to even out the score.

Sango pumped a fist in the air, "Go, Ayame!"

Miroku shoved Sango out of the way, "No, Kouga, come on, man! We've got a lot riding on this! Come on!"

Rin jumped forward, tackling Miroku, "Ayame, you can do it!"

Sesshomaru sighed.

Kagome danced from foot to foot, muttering how if Ayame didn't win, she'd pluck every strand of hair from her head and feed it to Kouga herself.

The passing bystanders of Red Bluff, California stopped what they were doing to watch the strange foreigners. Cars pulled to the curb and watched as the celebrities acted like maniacs.

The racers reached the mark and Inuyasha snapped the picture.

Sango, Ayame, Rin, and Miroku (As soon as he picked himself up off of the ground) ran down the remaining side walk. Choruses of "Yay!" "Ayame!" "Kouga!" "Way to go!" "I knew you'd win!" rained out.

Kagome saw the Inuyasha waving the photo in the air, hoping it would dry faster so that they could see who won. She reached for it but Inuyasha held it above his head, smirking.

Kagome pouted and as he turned away, she jumped on his back, snagging the picture out of his hand and looking at it.

Inuyasha spun on his heal trying to grab the evidence, but the harm was already done; Kagome had seen.

"AYAME WON!"

Kagome approached the front of the stage looking somber, a low rhythm was playing in the back ground due to their friends.

"This song means a lot to us," Kagome told the audience, "so please, pay attention, and take our words to heart."

Inuyasha stepped foreword and took Kagome's hand, "Every day three thousand six hundred and ten teens are assaulted, two thousand eight hundred and sixty one teens drop out of school, six teens commit suicide."

Kagome squeezed her friend's hand. "Every day, Eighty teenagers are raped, one thousand three hundred and seventy seven become mothers, four thousand two hundred and nineteen get an STD. That's all in one day, people."

The rhythm became a beat and Inuyasha began to sing.

No one sits with him,

He doesn't fit in,

But we feel like we do

when we make fun of him.

'Cause you want to belong,

do you go along,

'cause his pain is the price

paid for you to belong.

Kagome sang.

It's not like you hate him

Or want him to die,

But maybe he goes home

and thinks suicide

Or he comes back to school

with a gun at his side

and a kindness from you

might have saved his life

Inuyasha.

Hero's are made when

you make the choice

Both.

You could be a hero

hero's do what's right

You could be a hero

you could save a life

You could be a hero

You could join the fight

For what's right

Kagome sighed as she started singing.

No one talks to her

She feels so alone

She's in to much pain

To survive on her own

The hurt she can't handle

Overflows to a knife

She writes on her arm,

Wants to take her own life

Inuyasha.

Each day she goes on

Is a day that she's brave

Fighting the lie

that giving up is the way

Each moment of courage

her own life she saves

When she throws the pills out,

a hero is made

Kagome.

A hero is made when

you make the choice.

Both.

You could be a hero

hero's do what's right

You could be a hero

you could save a life

You could be a hero

You could join the fight

For what's right

Inuyasha.

No one talks to him

about how he lives

He thinks the choices he

makes are just his

Doesn't know he's a leader

with the way he behaves

and others will fallow the

choices he's made

Kagome.

He lives on the edge,

he's old enough to decide,

His brother who wants to

be him is just nine

He can do what he wants

because it's his right

But the choices he makes

change a nine-year-olds life

Inuyasha.

Hero's are made when you

make the choice.

Both.

You could be a hero

hero's do what's right

You could be a hero

you could save a life

You could be a hero

You could join the fight

For what's right

Inuyasha and Kagome stepped back and Kouga jumped forward, a black microphone with a skull on the front in his hand as he rapped out the next verse.

Little Mickey D. Was the one in class

who every day got brutally harassed

This went on for years

until he decided that never again would

he shed another tear.

So he walked through the door,

grabbed a four-four

out of his fathers dressing drawer

and said, "I can't take life no more"

And like that life can be lost.

Miroku skip walked behind Kouga, catching the mike when Kouga threw it over his shoulder, and rapping out the next verse.

But this aint even about that

all of us just sat back

and watched it happen

Thinking it's not my responsibility

to solve a problem that isn't about me

Miroku growled into the microphone.

This is our problem

This is just one of the

daily scenarios in which

we choose to close our eyes!

Instead of doing the right thing!

Kouga grabbed the mike out of Mirokku's hand.

If we make a choice

and be the voice

for those who wont speak up for themselves

Miroku grabbed it back and they both rapped out in sync.

How many lives would be

saved,

changed,

rearranged?

Kouga let Miroku have the mike and Miroku took over.

Now it's our time

to pick a side

So don't keep walking by

Not wanting to intervene

'Cause you wanna

Kouga grabbed it.

Exist and never be saved.

So let's wake up and change the world,

our time is now

Kagome and Inuyasha walked in between them, singing together, to the front of the stage and Miroku and the rap stars left.

You could be a hero

hero's do what's right

You could be a hero

you could save a life

You could be a hero

You could join the fight

For what's right

Kagome looked out in the audience. "This song is dedicated to my baby brother, Souta, who was sixteen when he took his life because he felt life just wasn't worth living anymore. He was bullied and teased because he was over weight, and almost every day he'd come home with a new bruise. It's also dedicated to my father, who took his own life after walking in just in time to see my brother shoot himself. None of this would have happened if someone had just tried to make life a little easier on the kid."

Inuyasha took her in his arms and they walked off stage together, the rest of the gang fallowing. And, as the song ended, so to, did this chapter.

Did You Know: That I cry a little every time I read this chapter?

Did You Know: That the facts I mentioned in the begining of this chapter are completely and utterly factual?

Did You Know: That I'm really hoping that everyone who reads this chapter will take a stand when they see bullying? I'm not asking that you jump in and start swinging, but put yourself in the victims shoe's for a moment. Wouldn't you want someone to defend you?
