Chapter 2: Music Videos and Hardcore Dogs

(-2) (-2) (-2)

During that very interesting argument over whom Kikyo was dating, Kagome learned some things: one, that he was a rocker. That was strange. Why in all hell would a rocker date a prep? A very annoying, bossy, creepy, overprotective, the list goes on … prep like Kikyo? Two, he was in a band. That was nice to know. What band she wouldn't say. She wouldn't even say his name for craps sake! The third thing scared her to know end: they were dating for three months! Kagome knew nothing about this! She was surprised anyone could stand her sister, besides her and her family, for that long! She had to be serious about this mysterious guy to be going out THAT long! Kagome didn't know she could hold a relationship that long.

Kagome pondered all of these things and more while finishing her homework and taking a shower.

After her shower she went to her closet. The video was is casual dress so she picked out a black tank top that stopped at her belly button; it had 'rock stars rock' in blue weird letters. She got some low cut jeans and put some chains on them. She put on some black and blue converse shoes on and brushed her hair. She added blue clips to keep the hair out of her face. Kagome put on normal makeup, grabbed her keys and went to the garage.

She got the hummer and drove off totally blowing off her mom and sister as they made their way to the purple convertible slug bug.

She went by Sango's house were everyone was at. Everyone loaded in. Kagura was wearing a black t-shirt that had a silver dragon swirling around it and the head in the middle. She wore silver make up that made her blood red eyes shine out. She had on faded blue jeans and a fan clipped on at the leg. 'Figures', Kagome thought, ' she never goes anywhere without her fan.'

Rin was wearing a green shirt with a Blink-182 symbol on it and blue jeans that were cut at the side and green converse on. Her hair was in a high ponytail. Drum sticks in hand.

Ayame was sporting a red and black patched tank top with strings hanging off of the shoulders and torn blue jeans. She black eyeliner on and the rest was red. She had black Vans shoes on. Her hair was in pigtails.

Sango was wearing a camouflaged tank top with the sleeves ripped off and it had, ' I'm hiding from my imaginary friend' in white letters. Her hair was down and she had boomerang earrings on. She had on white jeans with holes in the knees. She had on camouflaged converse.

" So we got everybody?" Kagome asked looking in the back seat. "You guys look nice."

"Yep. We got everybody. You look nice too. So who's ready for a rockin' video!" Sango asked while closing the car door.

" Everyone who whoops ass!" exclaimed everybody. Kagome smirked and drove off toward the video studio.

After school, Miroku went home and dropped his stuff and grabbed his guitar. Inuyasha was going to be super pissed that he's late. " Mushin! I'm home! I have practice so I got to go! See ya!" Miroku yelled to his guardian.

"Okay! Be back soon!" Mushin yelled back. With that Miroku left.

Inuyasha was Miroku's best friend since kindergarten. Miroku had meet Sango and Kagome in fifth grade, when Inuyasha had to go to a different school. For some strange reason, he could never manage to get Kagome and Inuyasha to meet each other. Every time he had invited both to a party or something, one always had something going on. Miroku thought since Inuyasha was going out with Kikyo, for god knows what reason; he would at least SEE Kagome! It never happened!

Oh well, he had too much on his mind to be thinking about that. Before Miroku knew it, he was in front of Inuyasha's mansion. You see Inuyasha's father was a well-known, successful, lawyer and business owner. He always looked down in shame at Inu because Inuyasha was a rock star and had no intention of taking over the company. He was too involved in his music to care. He had other things going for him.

Shesshomaru, on the other hand was involved with the business, and also was involved with his little brothers band. Their father always compared Inuyasha to Shesshomaru and it made Inuyasha furious! He wanted to make a name for HIMSELF, not steal his fathers.

Miroku walked into the garage and found Inuyasha sitting on the old worn couch, with guitar in hand. "Hey Inu! How are you? Sorry I'm late. We started a food fight and we had to clean it up." Miroku said getting ready for the yelling he was supposed to be getting from Inuyasha right about… now.

" Yea… whatever…" he mumbled and played a few cords. Miroku was starting to get worried. Inuyasha didn't yell at him for being like twenty minutes late? He walked over to Kouga who was working on his soundboard.

"Dude? What's up with Inu? He's usually screaming right now." Miroku asked. Kouga looked up, and then sighed.

" It's HER man, the good for nothing bitch dropped him like a rock at the park a few hours ago. He's been like this since we got here." He said. He sighed again and went back to his soundboard.

Something flashed in Miroku's mind. Inuyasha was dating Kikyo wasn't he? 'Crap! Kag said something about that. Something about Kikyo dating for a little while the dumping them at the park.' He thought. He didn't tell Kagome because he didn't want her coming over here causing chaos. Damn! Kagome would know what to do.

" Yea. Suspected that. I know Kikyo's sister; twin actually." Miroku said sighing. Kouga looked up.

"You mean there's someone as ugly as Kikyo out there! Probably as sluttish too." He said growling in disgust. "SHE'S NOT UGLY AND SLUTTISH!" Inuyasha yelled. Damn that demonic hearing!

"No, no! Her name is Kagome and she is the total opposite of Kikyo! She's a punk and she isn't sluttish! She has a band, Whoop-Ass 17. Remember? I groped her once, I was unconscious for three hours and when I woke up, she made me promise I wouldn't do that again, or else she'll kick my ass… badly…" Miroku said. He grimaced at the memory. There was a snicker heard from across the room. Coming from a redheaded drummer.

"I like her already." He said. Before Miroku could respond, Inuyasha spoke up.

" Guys, I got a new song. Tell me if you like it or not." He said quietly. Everyone sat on the couch while Inu got up in front with his guitar.

" Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen"

Even though Inuyasha was depressed, he couldn't help making it a little jumpy. Shippo got the beat and went over to the drums he played slowly at first but sped up.

"Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you"

Next, Miroku was the one to get the beat. He got up, picked up his bass and played a few cords. He gradually got into it.

"My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much"

Shesshomaru took over electric guitar since Inu already got the amp connected acoustic covered. (what r those guitars called?)

"Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I "

By now everyone was playing in sync. Kouga even got some sound for them.


"I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you"

"Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you"

"Well, how do you guys like it?" Inuyasha asked looking at his friends.

Whoop-Ass 17 arrived at the video studio at 7:45 pm. The video started at 8 o'clock. They went in and met up with the video's director, Dasani Snake. She would be making sure everything went as planned.

" Hello. I'm Dasani Snake. I'll be directing." She stuck out her hand. She was an average height with snowy white hair and piercing icy blue eyes. She had no wrinkles whatsoever. Kagome noticed she had long icy blue claws. She also noticed a demonic aura coming off her.

" Hello, I'm Kagome! This is Ayame, Sango, Rin, and Kagura." She said pointing to everyone. "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what kind of demon are you?" Kagome asked.

Dasani seemed unsure if she should answer. " Water snake demon. How can you tell? Most people can't." she said

One word said it all, "Miko (priestess)." She said. " Don't worry I won't do anything." Kagome said. Dasani relaxed.

"Okay! Lets get this started, shall we?" she said and started walking down a hall.

They came to a large room with everything they needed to make the video with. The room was white with black thorns on a dark green vein all around the top and bottom of the room. In random spots, blood red roses were painted around the room. The carpet was white with roses on that, too. On the right side of the room, there was a raised area for the band can play on. Their instruments were already there.

"Once everyone is done looking around, I'll show you how this is going to go." Dasani said. Everyone came over and Dasani pulled out a couple pieces of paper.

"I suppose you all talked about this so it shouldn't be anything knew." She started. She showed the first piece of paper. " The band will be placed on the raised area. Kagome, you will be on the biggest rose on the carpet; which is the center one. We'll work out the electronics later-" She was cut off by Kagome saying, " Ayame can take care of that." Dasani glared at her and started explaining again. " Anyways, Kagome you will stand the with your guitar, singing and glancing at the little girl. Once we get the basics done, we'll add you being the girl you're glancing at. But for now, you'll be singing staring at a mirror in front of you. Sound simple enough?" she asked. Kagome nodded.

" Great. Sango. Since you're the back up singer, when you do sing, you'll stand next to Kagome, sing, glance at the little girl and leave. K?" She asked again. Sango nodded.

" By the way, where the girl will be sitting, there will be a red 'X'. Now! Let's get this show on the road!" Everyone got up and went to their places.

As the music started (A/N: I won't type the song because I'm going to save it for the Battle of the Bands. Sorry!) Kagome started to sing. Dasani gave her signals when to glance at the red 'X' on the left of her.

The camera was on the right of her so it saw a side view of her body and her 'floating' mirror. Actually there wasn't really a mirror. They would add that in. when Sango sang, she was on the left side of Kagome and a little bit farther out so you could see her face. Dasani yelled cut and everyone went over.

"That was great, girls. Now we will tape Kagome as the little girl. Kagome, when I give you the signal to do something, like in the song you have the word 'chains' in there, look like your struggling and so forth. So act out the words k?" she asked. Kagome nodded and went to her place. " Sango, you will be right next to her playing also mouthing the words. We're going to play back the song. So basically when we're all done, you'll be like a shadowy figure narrating while Kagome sings. You may not get it, but you will." Sango nodded and they got started.

"That was really good. Even though you are depressed, it was still jumpy. I don't think you're capable of making a sad song." Miroku said. Everyone else nodded, except Inuyasha.

"Whatever. Anybody else? Do you guys think we could play it for the battle?" Inuyasha said. Shesshomaru spoke up.

" Naw. We already have the required four: Perfect, Colors, Grow up, and Let Me Out. That one's my favorite. So we couldn't add another one unless we take out one. That one would be either Colors-" he was cut off by Kouga yelling, " And that's not going to happen so forget it!" It was his favorite song. "Or Let Me Out and that's also not going to happen." He said stressing 'also'. Inuyasha sighed.

" Fine you win. We won't add it." He looked at his watch. "Well practice is over. Get out of my house." He said yawing. Everyone chuckled and left. Inuyasha and Shesshomaru went up stairs to find their dad sitting on the coach.

"Hey dad." Inuyasha greeted while digging in the refrigerator for something to eat. He found some left over pizza and heated it up. As he was going up to his room his dad stopped him.

"So I heard you broke up with that girl. What's her name? Kikyo?" Asked Inutaisho. Amber eyes lifted from his newspaper to his son. Inuyasha sighed.

" Yea. I'd rather not talk about it. She dumped me this afternoon so it still hurts." Inuyasha said, looking at the floor.

" Sorry to hear that. Well you know what they say, ' there's other fish in the sea'; or in this case other dogs in the neighborhood." Inutaisho chuckled. Inuyasha gave him a deadpan look and went up stairs saying " G'night dad."

He started towards his room. Suddenly, a blur of lavender and light blue came by and stole his pizza. He looked over to see his little sister, Shiori, munching on his pizza.

Shiori was the baby of the family. She was seven in a half and had a light blue- silver hair and lavender eyes. The strange thing was that Inuyasha, Shesshomaru, and Inutaisho had amber eyes. Inuyasha and Shiori's mom had violet eyes.

Inuyasha and Shiori were half demons while Shesshomaru was a full demon. Trisha, their mom, was human. Shiori has trouble with the other kids at her school beating her up and calling her names because she was a half demon. She couldn't control her powers so she couldn't fight back. Inuyasha had that trouble too. Shesshomaru was there to help him all the time though. Shiori was younger and didn't have anybody. Luckily, anyone who touched Shiori and he heard about it was in for a really good beat down. Not a lot of people messed with her after they learned she had two powerful older brothers.

"Thanks for the pizza big brother! I like pepperoni! Next time heat it up more k?" she squeaked and walked off.

"Shiori that wasn't funny. You're so lucky I'm not up to chasing you around the house right now."

"Whatever. Good night Inuyasha! Can you tuck me in?" she asked giving him the puppy dog eyes. He sighed.

"Go ask Fluffy k? I'm really tired." He said.

"K! Night big brother!" she yelled and went to find Shesshomaru. He sighed. Today wasn't his day. Kikyo dumps him, he's depressed, and his little sister eats the last slice of pizza… He went to his room and laid down on the bed.

'Kikyo? Why did you do this to me?' he thought and fell into a deep slumber.

000000scenechange000000

"See ya tomorrow!" Kagome yelled to Rin. Rin waved and Kagome started home. 'Damn that was a long day! Now time for sleep.' She smiled and drove home.

She parked the car and went to her room. She put on her black pajama tank top that said 'sleeping booty' on the chest and black boxer shorts that had 'Joe Boxer' on the butt. She got into her bed and fell into a peaceful sleep wondering about tomorrow…
