Souta was in the front, spotlight on him, eyes shut.

000000This Time000000

" Everyone on this stage has something in common…" he begun.

" We are all related to someone…" Shiori continued.

" That is in a band of the next genre, rock." Kohaku ended. Every time someone spoke, the circle shifted.

" We are going to explain WHO they are and HOW they act at home! " Souta said, eyes open again and smiling.

" Beware, to all the fans of other bands," Shiori continued, also smiling.

" This is how they probably act…and you know it. We'll start off with the girls." Kohaku said, giving Souta the spotlight.

" I have a sister. Her name is Kagome. She is the lead singer and guitarist of Whoop-Ass 17 and she is crazy." He stopped and looked at the screen, a picture of Kagome attacking a pillow with a butter knife appeared. The crowd giggled. "She is powerful," He looked at the screen once more and it showed Kagome up in the air with a satisfied smirk on her face looking at a stump of a burning tree that she, no doubt, blew up. "she has anger issues," the screen showed Kagome having Souta in a head lock, "and she is loveable." It showed Kagome hugging a teddy bear. "Now a short skit." He said and walked into the middle of the stage. Kagome sunk down in her chair.

"Oh man, that's what he was doing with that damned camera!" She squeaked, hiding her face in her hands. "He is SO gonna get it!" She said, steaming. Inuyasha laughed.

"I will be playing Kagome, Kohaku; my other sister, Kikyo; and Shiori, my mom."

Souta said. He sat down on the stage a pretended he had head headphones on and was reading a magazine. Kohaku came in shaking his hips as he walked and went up to Souta.

"Kagome!" He said whining, " What are you doing!" He asked with a roll of his eyes. Souta looked up and him and pretended to hit him, Kohaku fell down. Shiori came running in and to Kohaku's side.

"Kagome! You suck! Go to your room!" She yelled. Souta stood up and walked off the stage. Kagome snickered. Souta came back and announced "Kikyo's my other sister but, who cares?" He said and walked off.

"Pretty correct…" Kagome said. Kohaku appeared on the stage with microphone in hand. Sango cringed and shut her eyes. 'Oh no… here it comes…' she thought.

"I also have a sister. Her name is Sango and she is the bass player for Whoop-Ass 17. Sango is NOT a morning person." He turned to the screen and a picture of Sango glaring at the camera with her hair all messed up and a blue spaghetti strapped tank top on with one strap off, she looked like she just got up. " She absolutely adores tuna," On the screen a picture of Sango in the middle of chucking a can of tuna with almost 10 cans of tuna behind her. She had a surprised look on her face. Sango was now a deep red. NO ONE KNEW ABOUT HER INFATUATION WITH TUNA! But oh, Kohaku wasn't done yet. " she loves the bass player of Hardcore dogs, my idol, Miroku." He said. Her eyes were as big as dinner plates. She always thought he was cute…but she didn't want anybody to know! Especially Miroku himself! There was a picture of Sango kissing a poster of Miroku. Miroku's eyes we also very big. " On a lighter note, she loves to wrestle." He said a picture of Sango having Miroku in a cradle and Miroku barely being able to breathe. "Now a short skit showing me as Sango, this stick as my boomerang, Souta as Miroku, and Shiori as a random pretty girl." He said. Souta was kneeling in front of Shiori and asked her to bear his child. Shiori stuttered with an answer but before one could come out, Kohaku came out of nowhere and hit Souta on the head with his 'boomerang' and called him a pervert. The crowds found this extremely funny, taking they all know how Miroku is.

It was now Shiori's turn as she stood up on stage, taking the mike. "I have two brothers, both from Hardcore Dogs and both extremely stubborn. Inuyasha," the girls in the crowd screamed and Inuyasha felt cocky "is the lead singer and guitarist while Sesshomaru," another scream and Sesshomaru feeling quite hot himself, "is the other guitarist. They are both really competitive." She said and on the screen a picture of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru in fighting positions and a piece of pizza in the middle of them on a plate. "They are both shower hogs," She said, and two pictures appeared. One had two pictures in it. One half was of Inuyasha brushing his hair with a towel around his waist, glaring at the camera; while the other was of Sesshomaru brushing his hair, towel around his waist glaring at the camera. You could tell very much that they were related-almost twins. Wolf holes and screams were heard everywhere throughout the building. In the other picture, there was the bottom of the shower, and silver hair in it. " and they wonder why I always take my showers down stairs. Inuyasha has this weird habit of staring at himself while he flexes." There was a picture of Inuyasha without a shirt on in baggy red puppy pajama pants, flexing. In the corner was Shiori with the camera.

"Didn't we TELL my mom NOT to have another child! Two was enough!" Inuyasha whispered to Sesshomaru. And he nodded.

"If she followed our advice, we wouldn't be going through this right now…" Sesshomaru said, cringing at all the wolf calls and whispers he got. Shiori wasn't quite done though.

"Many of you might not realize this about my dear oldest brother but he, is a giant Star Wars junkie." She said with a giant smile. Sesshomaru's head went down as he felt the migraine coming. There was a picture of him with glasses on, in the library reading a Star Wars book. Right next to him was a Star Wars magazine and other random Star Wars collector items.

"OH! So THAT'S what you do when you do your little 'quite time'!" Inuyasha whispered.

" SHUT UP! I don't know where in the hell she got that, that little rat! GR!" Sesshomaru said.

"And for my last thing, a short skit. Telling no matter how big of dorks and or pretty boys they are, they're still my older brothers. I will be playing me, Souta: Inuyasha, Kohaku: Sessy, and my friend Kinji as the bully." She said.

Kinji came in and he started yelling at Shiori. "You little half-breed! You shouldn't even be here! You suck!" He yelled and pretended to kick and punch her. She started to cry and roll into a little ball. Suddenly Souta and Kohaku came out from the curtains and stood in front of Kinji. Souta took the collar of Kinji's shirt.

"You shouldn't pick on people…you might end up getting picked on yourself." He said.

"Who are you guys?" Kinji said with terror in your voice. Shiori spoke up.

"My two brothers. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. You're in trouble now." She said with an evil smile. Kohaku took Kinji and pushed him off to the side. Kinji stood up and ran off stage. Helping Shiori up, they exited the stage. The crowed erupted in 'aw' and laughter as they recalled other embarrassing facts about they're favorite band members. Shiori, Souta, Kohaku, and Kinji came out and locked hands and bowed, smiling at the crowd.

"Now, starting off rock is," Kinji began.

"Air Metal! Then we," Shiori said

"Will go on from," Souta said

"There! Enjoy!" Kohaku said and they ran off stage, with Air Metal setting up. Sooner than expected Hardcore Dogs were almost up. With that being the case the boys and girls got up quietly and snuck off to back stage. Trying to get everything organized, and trying to remember the notes and lyrics, Inuyasha began to get a headache. Sitting down on a box he rubbed his head.

Kagome walked back stage, looking for Inuyasha. No doubt he was tuning his guitar or something. She found him sitting on a box rubbing his head. 'Poor guy, he's probably stressing out right now.' She thought sneaking up to him putting her hands on his shoulders, massaging them. She bent down to his puppy ear. "Don't worry. You're gonna be fine. I promise. I'll be rooting for you while you play ok? If you start to worry, look at the curtains. I'll be right there." She said. His headache calmed down as he breathed in her calming scent. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Thanks Kagome." He said as she gave him a hug.

"No problem Inuyasha! Now stop worrying."

" Hardcore Dogs! You're up in a couple minutes! The curtains are down!" The guy said. Inuyasha's head shot up as he started to panic. Kagome hit him on the head.

"STOP WORRYING! I've seen you on stage and you're a natural! He's your guitar and go!" She said giving him a reassuring smile as she handed him his red and silver guitar. "Now go out there and be cocky as usual." She said and he gave a cocky smile. Inuyasha and friends ran out onto the stage. Inuyasha gave a toothy grin.

"HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING!" He screamed. A loud roar filled his ears and he laughed. On the stage, starting from the back was Shippo in the middle back, about 3 feet in front of him on the left was Miroku with his bass, Sesshomaru was across from Miroku and Inuyasha was stationed in front kind of between Miroku and Shippo. He moved around a lot too. "It starts now with Grow Up!" He yelled, beginning. He decided on going for the jumpy song first, then the 'slow' song, following that would be his personal one, and ending with Let Me Out, which Sesshomaru was singing. (A/N: SRY! I'm going to have to… tweak some lyrics…JUST A LITTLE! The parts in the lyrics that are not italic are what I changed.)

This is who I am and this is what I like
GC, Sum and Blink and Whoop Ass rockin' my room
If you're lookin' for me I'll be at the show
I can never find a better place to go
Until the day I die
I promise I won't change
So you better give up

When he said 'Whoop Ass' He turned and winked at Kagome, who was smiling wider than ever. He was also enjoying himself, doing the thing he loved and soaking up the crowd.

I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up
'Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up

Inuyasha threw his guitar to his back and picked up the whole microphone stand and moved it to the end of the catwalk. He clutched the microphone and sang as he smirked.

I'd like to stay up late, spend hours on the phone
Hanging out with all my friends and never being at home
I'm impolite and I make fun of everyone
I'm immature but I will stay this way forever
'Til the day I die
I promise I won't change

M: (change, change)
I: So you better give up

While Miroku echoed, Inuyasha picked the stand back up and backtracked to the main stage part, playing the chorus. Everyone sang it.

There was an instrumental featuring Shippo's drum skills and Sesshomaru having the guitar solo. Inuyasha took over the solo and left the echoes to Sesshomaru and Miroku. The beat slowed down.

M:I don't wanna be told to grow up

S:(grow up, grow up)
S:I don't wanna be told to grow up

M:(grow up, grow up)

The beat sped back up as they repeated the chorus. Miroku repeated 'Grow up'.

I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't wanna change
So you better give up
'Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up
'Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up

They ended hugely, the crowds going wild like always. Kagome smiled widely, cheering with the rest of them. Yes, that was defiantly her Inuyasha… wait. Hers? Oh never mind that, he was talking. "Thanks guys! Now its fine for our 'slow' song, hope you enjoy it. Its called Colors by Sesshomaru and I." Sesshomaru called it the 'brother duet' because they both featured in this one. Sesshomaru came out from behind Inuyasha and stood by him. They shared the mike. Inuyasha started off on the guitar and Sesshomaru joined in later. Inuyasha sang first.

With Sesshomaru doing the majority guitar part, Inuyasha followed along, concentrating on singing.

I: Can you feel it crush you does it seem to bring the worst in you out
There's no running away from these things that hold you down
Do they complicate you because they make you feel like this
Of all the colors that you've shine this is surely not your best
But you should know these colors that you're shining are

When the chorus came up, Shippo hit the beat and Inuyasha leaned in and had his back on Sesshomaru's back. Sesshomaru had stopped playing and grabbed the mike and held it between them as they sang the chorus, Inuyasha playing guitar.

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

Inuyasha jumped from the mike, and off to the side playing. Sesshomaru stayed and smiled to the crowd playing the second part.

S: I know you feel alone yeah and no one else can figure you out
But don't you ever turn away from the ones that help you down
Well they'd love to save you don't you know they love to see your smile
But these colors that you've shined are surely not your style

But you should know these colors that you're shining are

The two brothers went shoulder to shoulder and sang. Both playing.

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

Sesshomaru jumped off and let Inuyasha have the mike. Inuyasha grabbed it, twisting his guitar around to his back. And Sesshomaru played.

I: I know you're feeling like you're lost
But you should know these colors that you're shining are

Inuyasha jumped off as Sesshomaru took his place and had one hand on the neck of the guitar and the other on the mike. Sesshomaru sang the part as Inuyasha played.

S: I know you're feeling like you're lost you feel you've drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that you're shining are

The two came together once more and sang the chorus.

Surely not the best colors that you shine
Surely not the best colors that you shine

They were both at the microphone, playing and singing they're separate parts. Sesshomaru would hold the notes while Inuyasha had the lines.

S:(Surely not the best)
I: I know you're feeling like you're lost
S: (Colors that you shine)
I: But you should know these colors that you're shining are
S:(Surely not the best)
I: I know you're feeling like you're lost you feel you've drifted way too far
S&I: Did you know these colors that you're shining are

They both hit the same note, at the same time and grinned. The crowd gapped a little before erupting in applause. Inuyasha looked at his brother and they slapped hands and then punched each other in the shoulder. It was like a handshake they did ever since they were little. Kagome gapped from back stage. That must have taken a lot of practice and coordination. Kagome applauded to as the band got back in there positions.

"Thanks a lot guys! This next song I wrote for my dad. And I hope he's here. I hope you enjoy it, its called, 'Perfect'." Inuyasha said. He tuned up his guitar and took a deep breath. 'I know he's not here but, I'll look anyway.' He thought and looked into the crowd. He scanned the crowed with no avail of seeing his father. Just about as he was going to give up hope, the door opened and a silver headed figure stepped into the room with another figure, much smaller and dark haired. Inuyasha squinted and saw the stranger had a muscular build and wore a shirt and jeans. The other one much smaller and seemed like a woman. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he stepped back to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru! Look! It's dad! He came!" He whispered. Sesshomaru looked and verified it.

" Well he came, better show him what you wanted to." He said and gave a comforting smile. Inuyasha nodded and went back to the mike and started to play softly. While playing the intro he smiled.

" Ladies and Gentleman, humans and demons alike, please welcome my father." He said and the spotlight was taken off of Inuyasha and onto Inutaisho and Trisha who smiled nervously and waved at Inuyasha. The spotlight was put back on Inuyasha while he stepped back and hit the beat. Everyone joined in and after a little while the beat settled down to where only Sesshomaru and Shippo were playing and Inuyasha let his guitar hang as he gripped the mike.

Hey Dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according
To plan?
Do you think I'm wasting
My time doing things I
Wanna do?
But it hurts when you
Disapprove all along

Inuyasha let go of the mike and picked up his guitar and followed minor cues. As the song went on, the beat picked up.

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

When Inuyasha got to the chorus, the beat stopped and only Sesshomaru was playing. When Inuyasha said 'now' Miroku and Shippo joined in.

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect

There was a short instrumental with Inuyasha included. The next verse came up and he let go of his guitar and sang again. The beat once again slowed down. By the next verse the song picked up.

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be
My hero?
All the days
You spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't
Care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing' alright

Like every other chorus, it slowed down

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect

The song picked up for the last time as Inuyasha gripped the mike and closed his eyes, singing.

Nothing's gonna change
The things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this
Right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

The last note echoed for a little while and Inuyasha played the chorus the last two times with Miroku repeating some parts.

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect

Kagome stood on the sidelines, tears brimming her eyes. Besides the fact of the song being sad, it was damn good! Inuyasha did a great job performing. Shouting and hollering, she resisted the urge to go and trample him. " Hey guys! Hope you liked that. Now for our final song, Let Me Out. But I'll let the one who's singing it explain it. Sesshomaru?" He said, offering the mike to him. Sesshomaru smirked and shook his head, taking the mike.

" Thanks little brother. Anyway, this is Let Me Out. I wrote it a while ago and I hope you guys like it. It's for everyone out there who's been misunderstood, angry at the world. And all you want them to do it let you out." Sesshomaru said handing his guitar to Inuyasha. From that point, everyone switched places. Miroku gave up his dark purple bass to Inuyasha and he jumped on drums. Shippo took over Sesshomaru's electric guitar and sat on the amp, as well as Inuyasha on the other amp. (A/N: There are amps next to them, kind of like a background thing, then there are the big, big ones in front. Inuyasha and Shippo sat on the smaller ones.)

I found some peace today
I grit my teeth
And swallow all my pain and selfish pride
I use to hide behind

The beat picked up, Sesshomaru ran to the end of the cat walk while Inuyasha and Shippo jumped off the amps and to the end of the stage, all jumping about 10 feet in the air. This was one the main reasons Miroku was on drums. He couldn't jump that high and he would embarrass himself in front of millions of people. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha got about 10 feet while Shippo rested on 8. Sesshomaru had the cordless mike and in the middle of going down, he started singing the chorus and landed on his knee and reached his hand out to the crowd, letting them touch it. Inuyasha and Shippo did a cool jerk with their instruments and came down considerably calmer, still not sitting on the amps.

Let me out, let me out I'm singing
Let me out, let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth (repeat)

Sesshomaru did a few 'ooo's before starting the next verse and the beat calmed down.

Flames of pain stained paint my eyes
Child I've lost this face won't lie
Time burns my souls decay grey
Sifting through the smoke and lies
Swimming exhale our love that's died
First and last ain't ever the same, so I'll keep on singing this
I don't care if you're right or if I'm always wrong
Just want to sing my song before this whole world

Sesshomaru jolted up and did a backhand spring around the 7th line and came back and put both hands on the mike. He showed a lot of emotion in the way he moved.

Let me out, let me out I'm singing
Let me out, let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth (repeat)

After the chorus, he threw his right arm in the air swinging it back and forth motioning the crowd to follow. As they did, he jogged back to Inuyasha on the stage sang to the people that were closer to the stage. He crouched down holding his stomach and holding his head with his free hand, pertaining to the song.

Now and forever
I stand to sever all ties and connections with recollections of pain or fear
Family, society, authority and every peer
Swallowing tears, lien' in my stomach
I'm getting free-er every second eroding and exploding
All these corporate deceptions right here I'm...

He stopped and stood up strait as the beat calmed down and he walked back to the end of the catwalk, shoving his hand back into the crowd.

Metal prison bars block our minds
youth's truth sold and televised
I never bought it and I won't play your games, for fame
Are we just rats in a pipers tune soothed,
Scraping for cheese in a maze made to lose
No, I'm not and I won't eat your food... Subdued
I don't care if your right or if I'm always wrong,
Just want to sing my song before this whole world ...GONE

At the word 'Gone', he put his free hand into his hair and clutched it. Sesshomaru leaned back and jerked forward, sending his long silver hair all over his face as he started the chorus. Inuyasha sighed. He had always wished he could be that…that…cool…

Let me out, let me out I'm singing
Let me out, let me out I'm singing
I'm a liar and a cheat in prison
Accused of telling the truth (repeat)

Let me out, let me out I'm singing
Let me out, let me out I'm singing…

He turned suddenly and ran back to the band and getting in the middle, with his arm and hand straight up, his fingers wide. He sang smiling softly. Everyone sang one at a time, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru and Miroku, Sesshomaru and Shippo, then everyone for the final.

S&I: I'm out... out

S&M: I'm out…out

S&Shippo I'm out…out

E: I'm out…out

"Thanks guys!" Sesshomaru said and smiled a toothy smile into the crowd. The band gathered up at the beginning on the catwalk and put there hands together in the middle, then shouting 'Hardcore Dogs' and throwing they're hands in the air. The crowd went wild as they exited the stage.

Inuyasha set his guitar in its case and stood back up, searching for Kagome. Suddenly, Kagome ran up and jumped on him; wrapping her legs around his waist and one of her hands in the air. Inuyasha instinctively wrapped his arms around her back. "INUYASHA! YOU DID AWESOME!" She yelled and put her hands on his cheeks kissing him passionately. She ending the kiss quickly, coming into realization of what she just did. She blushed a scarlet color while coughing uncomfortably. Inuyasha just stood there, staring at her. 'Damn Kagome! You weren't supposed to do that…! I guess I just did it…I didn't really think about it…' Kagome thought to herself.

" Well. Nice to see you to." He said and winked.

" You did great! I loved it!" She said getting down and straightening her shirt. She smiled at him a small yet true smile. Inuyasha looked down at her and smiled too while closing the gap in between them.

"SESSHOMARU! SESSHOMARU!" Kagura yelled and ran to Sesshomaru as fast as her feet could carry her. She jumped into his arms and he caught her gracefully, while spinning around.

"So…how was it?" He asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"I never knew you could be that…wild! All the things I saw you do you were always the sad song guy. Never the 'rock out till it hurts' guy! But I loved it!" Kagura yelled hugging him.

"Kagura get off. I wanna hug him to! Stop hogging him!" Rin yelled, tapping her foot impatiently. Kagura pouted and got off as Rin gave him a hug and congratulated him by ruffling his hair. She smiled sweetly, and then ran off to find Shippo.

"Well Kagura, we have a little time till your up so…would you like to go get coffee?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagura nodded and smiled, as they both walked to a café located right across the street.

Rin ran though back stage, looking for her beloved Shippo. She found him sitting on a box, looking kind of depressed. Softening her eyes a bit, she took a seat next to him.

"Shippo…what's wrong?" she asked, moving some stray hair behind her ear.

" …Rin…?" He asked.

" Yep. Now tell me what's up." She said. Shippo sighed

"Nothing." He said, diverting his eyes.

" You're lying through your teeth." She said casually. Shippo gave her a 'how-could-you-tell?' look. "I was always good at telling if someone was lying or not. You don't always have to sniff it out. Now tell me." She said. Shippo sighed and looked up.

" I don't know. I guess I don't think I can do as much as the other guys can, you know? I'm the youngest of them all and I was only able to jump 8 feet instead of 10. They're all really skilled. Koga's the fastest of them all and extremely competitive, Sesshomaru's the smartest and wisest, Inuyasha is the irrational, childish, warrior type that can start, finish, and win any fight; and Miroku's the chick magnet. He constantly attracts girls from out the woodwork! I don't have anything to contribute to the group. All I do is play the drums." He said, sighing. Rin looked at him with empathy. She knew how he felt. She had gone through it too the first few months of the band. But she found her place, and she was sure Shippo would too.

"Shippo, that isn't true and you know it. Everyone's different and so give in lots of different things. I wasn't sure where I was in the band either. Kagome is strong and out going, Sango's strong and she has a great heart. She never leaves a man behind. Kagura's the seducer. She can go into a club without any money and without a boyfriend and will come out hammered like a son of a bitch and have sixteen thousand numbers. And Ayame is just… a fighter I guess. Never get into a name calling battle with her; also, never say she can't do something. She'll do it just to see that you are beaten. Unstoppable they all are. And then there was me. I never thought I did anything so I just sat there. Then when everyone came to me for advice and they got in arguments, I was the one who cheered them up; Ms. Comic Relief. Shippo, I'm sure you're probably something essential to everything! Hell, probably you're the voice of reason or just the glue." She said laughing a little Shippo stared at her for a little while and smiled.

" Well…you're not so bad after all. Want to go get some hot chocolate and get to know each other better? I could use more advice." Shippo asked a hopeful gleam in his eye, jumping off the bench. The truth was, Rin really couldn't. Deep inside she was scared shitless that she would mess up so she planned to practice. But seeing Shippo's cute face swayed her from her plan. She couldn't resist but say yes. She nodded and jumped off, following Shippo to the Café.

Sango walked around, looking for Miroku. She had caught all the other members and congratulated them, but she couldn't find Miroku. She found him sitting on a chair reading. Pulling up a seat next to him, she snuck a look into his book. "What'cha reading?" She asked.

" Cat and Mouse." He said putting the bookmarker in it and closing it. "Hey Sango."

" Hey Miroku. I wanted to say how great of job you guys did today. It was awesome. I never knew you played drums." She said kind of blushing, remembering the embarrassing slide show her brother did on her personal life…

" Yea. I do in my spare time. Hey Sango look…" Miroku said, sighing looking down at his book. Sango cringed. This wasn't going to be good! " Since your brother confessed your feelings for me on the screen…I wanted to know if you wanted to go out?" Miroku said blushing.

"…"

"Sango dear this isn't for untrustworthy reasons I swear! Please! Just one! I'll behave I promise!" Miroku pleaded. Sango just stared at him.

" You mean you like…me?" She asked, dumbstruck. He nodded "Like THAT?" Another nod. " Oh. Wow…this is awkward. Well…as long as you promise that you won't grope me then, I would love to." She said. 'My face probably looks like a damn tomato. DAMNIT!'

" THANK YOU SANGO! YOU WON'T REGRET IT I SWEAR!" Miroku yelled, very relieved. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug. She quickly returned it. "Thanks Sango. You don't know how long I wanted to ask you that." He said. She pulled away

" Then how come you flirted with those other women? And groping them! Please don't tell me your fucking with me!" Sango yelled.

" NO It isn't like that. They don't mean anything! Call it a curse though… forgive me?" Miroku said, giving her the best puppy dog eyes he could come up with. He opened his arms, waiting for Sango to come to him. Sango rolled her eyes and rested in his arms. She had certainly accomplished a lot.

"Hey Koga." Ayame said poking him with a stick, a smirk adorned on her features. An interesting vain popped out of Koga's head.

"Hello…Ayame." He growled out.

"You did pretty good for a stupid guy." Ayame said

"You could have said good job and left me alone." He said again, one of his blue eye twitching.

" But that's not fun…Koga." She said giggling a bit.

"Your stupid."

"Takes one to know one."

"Bitch." Koga stood up.

" Fleabag."

" GARBAGE EATER!"

" I DID THAT ONCE! PUSSY CAT!" Ayame yelled, starting to get angry.

" YOUR MOM!"

" You did NOT just bring my MAMA into this!"

"Well I did and you're too stupid to realize it!"

" You have a girly tail." Ayame said flipping her tail.

" BITE ME!" Koga yelled furiously.

"WITH PLEASURE!" Ayame yelled and bit Koga's shoulder.

"You…you bit me…" Koga said dumbstruck, holding his shoulder.

"DAMN STRAIGHT! Told you I would." she yelled. Koga growled.

"DO YOU WANNA KISS ME AS BAD AS I WANNA KISS YOU, SASSY BITCH!" Koga yelled.

" AS A MATTER OF FACT I DO, ASSHOLE!" Ayame yelled back. Koga took her and leaned her back and then kissed her deeply sending Ayame into lama land. DAMN THIS GUY WAS A GOOD KISSER! He brought her back up.

"How was that?" Koga asked smirking

" You can do better than that." Ayame said, connecting their mouths together once again, shoving her tongue into his mouth. From there, the make-out session began…

Everyone regrouped as soon as it was soon going to be their turn. They stood around in a circle, as they examined each other. Koga, Ayame, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome had messed up hair and out of place clothes. Kagura and Sesshomaru had starbucks coffee cups in their hands as well as Shippo and Rin and were looking at the others.

"What the hell were you guys doing? Wrestling! You guys look screwed up!" Kagura shouted, laughing. " Ayame your hair looks like great balls of freakin fire!" Kagura laughed some more while Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippo joined. Ayame shrieked, trying desperately to fix it. Miroku coughed.

"Something like that…" He muttered, fixing his ponytail. Sango elbowed him in the ribs while blushing horribly.

" Shut, up." She muttered lowly through her teeth.

"Ok, Ok, Me and Kagome were making out and probably were the rest of them. Get over it." Inuyasha said, running his fingers through his long silvery hair. Kagome coughed and looked at the ground, fixing her hair while blushing.

" We were!" Miroku yelled proudly, Sango elbowing him again.

" Eh. Guilty." Ayame said, raising her hand. Koga smiled wolfishly.

" Oh yes. Guilty indeed." He said, rather pleased.

" So Kagome…is he a good kisser?" Rin asked, smiling evilly.

"Wouldn't you like to know." She hissed.

"Aww! My little brother has a little girlfriend! How sweet!" Sesshomaru claimed, grabbing Inuyasha's cheek between his pointer finger and thumb, and wiggling it roughly. Inuyasha smacked it away, glaring at him.

"Shut up. Its not little Fluffy is totally innocent either." He said, motioning to Kagura.

" I hate that name. And at least we didn't make out." He said glaring.

" Koga, Ayame! I disappointed in you! You were supposed to hate each other!" Shippo said, shaking his head. " You're pitiful." Koga glared and picked up Shippo by the back of his shirt and shook him…and shook him…and shook him…

"KOGA! PUT HIM DOWN DAMMIT!" Rin shouted. Koga glanced at her and then glanced at Shippo, then dropped him. "Thank you." Rin said and grabbed Shippo by the back of his shirt also, and dragged him off somewhere.

"Awkward…" Ayame said.

"WHOOP-ASS17 on deck!" The back stage guy said.

" Well girls? Straighten up yourselves! We're going on stage for potatoes sake! We don't want to look like we just…had lots of…uh…physical contact…" Kagome yelled straightening her clothes and hair.

"But most of us just did… including you." Sango interrupted.

"Shut up." Kagome said. Once she was all straightened out, she leaned up against a pillar, breathing to try to calm her nerves. She felt big, strong, clawed hands on her shoulders, rubbing them and soon hot breath on her ear.

" Remember that pep talk you gave me?" He said. Kagome nodded. "Well put that into play. I'm sure you won't suck too bad." He said smiling.

"You're not helping." Kagome said irritated.

"Shut up. I'm trying." He said, pouting. Kagome chuckled.

" WHOOP ASS17! Get your stuff up and ready! 5 minutes!"

"Oh shit…" Kagome said. Inuyasha gently shoved her guitar into her hands and smiled.

"You'll do fine. Now go gather your minions." Inuyasha said, pushing her along. The band gathered around her as the boys stayed on the outskirts of the little circle.

"Ok guys. This is it. We've been working on his for more than three months! After 3 months, we're more than ready for this; we can pull this off! Who's with me!" Kagome yelled, giving her mini pep talk, even though she wasn't quite sure of herself. She put her hand in the middle of the circle, soon everyone else's going on top of hers. " Now lets do what we planned this band to do. Who's ready to rock?" She asked looking around at everyone with their stuff. They nodded.

" Lets hit the glory road, girls." Kagura said.

" They'll never know what hit them." Sango said.

" We'll knock their socks clear off." Ayame said, confidently.

" Lets do this, girls!" Rin shouted. Kagome smirked.

" Lets." She said. They screamed their band name and ran out.
