Chapter 13: And the votes are in!

(-13)(-13)(-13)(-13)(-13)(-13)(-13)

The gang was walking back to the Practice place while chattering about the movie. "That sucked." Ayame said rolling her eyes.

"I just WASTED 90 minutes of my life watching THAT." Inuyasha said shaking his head.

"What? You're crazy!" Shippo yelled.

"Yea! IT WAS AWESOME! How could you not love it?" Kouga said.

"Easily in fact. The plot was weak, the action was ok, and the actors sucked serious balls." Sesshomaru said.

"The only thing good about it was the special affects." Inuyasha said.

"Finally we agree on something."

"Your brains are just dead from all that fucking popcorn and sour patch kids you swallowed down." Kagome said. (A/N: Don't own Sour Patch Kids)

"Yea, you can't forget the Monster drinks they smuggled and chugged in there." Sango said starting to laugh. (A/N: don't own THAT either.)

"Seriously! You guys were drugged out half the time." Kagura said nudging Sango.

"That reminds me, you do know there's a caution label on there saying something like 'Drink responsibly. You should not have more than three servings of this per sitting. Pregnant women, children, and people who are sensitive to caffeine should not drink this.' And if I recall correctly, RIN is HIGHTLY sensitive to caffeine AND had FOUR. Rin…?"Sango said looking around. She spotted Rin sitting on the top a car twitching. She suddenly got up, still twitching, and climbed up a pole, then jumped to a tree, raised holy hell with the squirrels by throwing nuts at random people, climbed down the tree, and did other random acts.

"OH CRAP! It's another July 14th ALL over again!" Kagome yelled running both her hands down her face.

"DAMN! C'mon guys! Execute plan 'GET RIN316B'! GO!" Kagura yelled as the all dispersed. Shippo sweat dropped.

"Now I'm confused. What happened July 14th? Why is Rin twitching?" he said.

"And what the HELL is 'GETRIN316B'!" Inuyasha yelled. Ayame went after Rin, Sango went to go get ice water and towels, Kagome went to go get a straight jacket from her car, and Kagura went to go get chill something or other and broccoli, while Rin was being the object of capture. Ayame finally managed to catch her while Kagome put the straight jacket on her. Sango came by and dumped the ice water on Rin's head and totally drenched her. Rin's movements were delayed quite a bit by this and restricted thanks to Kagome's handy dandy straight jacket. Kagura opened a place on the jacket on Rin's arm and injected a shot filled with blue metallic liquid into her while Sango stuck the broccoli into her mouth.

They all backed away while Rin shook a little and then collapsed, snoring. The girls relaxed and laughed a little. "OK, so I'm going to ask this carefully. What the hell just happened?" Miroku asked.

"Well…" They all started, looking at each other.

"Well what?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Well Rin's kind of…affected by too much caffeine at one time. What you saw there was what HAPPENS when she has too much caffeine at one time." Kagura said.

"OK. So what was that blue stuff?" Shippo asked.

"You mean the Chilly Boom?" Ayame asked.

"Sure."

"Well, um, something like that won't just…GO away. It has to be forced away. Therefore they developed something just for her we call the 'Chilly Boom'. It chills her out." Ayame said shrugging.

"So what's going to happen now?" Kouga asked, poking Rin with a stick.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Sango cut in. "She might wake up and then we'll have to do this all over again. She'll wake up, we'll untie her, she'll have to go pee about 20 times then she'll be back to normal." Sango said.

"Really, that's all?" Inuyasha asked.

"Really, really; if this happens about 5 times in one month, she could die. Too much strain on the brain and her adrenaline gland goes out. We almost lost her once…" Kagome said, looking away. The rest of the girls stared at the ground.

"What happened?" Shippo asked.

"I won't get into it. All that you need to know is that we swore to never let that happen." Kagura said solemnly.

"Ok. Let's get her in there." She said as she picked up Rin.

"Don't worry about it, Kagura. I got it." Sesshomaru said as he picked her up from Kagura. She nodded thanks.

Inside, the bands got seated and awaited the votes. Tigeme went up on the stage and smiled. "Hello all! I'll be doing this one alone. Anyway, the votes are in! We'll be doing this in the same order as last time. So in the pop category, in third place we have The Dancing Boys." A loud applause was heard when a bunch of faggoty looking boys went up on stage.

"Like, thank you, thank you like so much. We'll like mention you all in like our CD. Like, dance boys!" The obviously gay lead singer said and they pranced off the stage. Tigeme shivered.

"In second place, we have Jen/Ben with their song." A boy and a girl walked onto the stage and waved.

"Thanks all. Love you! And I and Ben are getting married!" Jen shouted. Inuyasha snorted.

"Its going to be over in five months tops." He said and Kagome laughed. "Where's Rin?"

"She's on her fifth bathroom run. Five down, fifteen to go." Kagome said smirking.

"And in first place, we have Kikyo Higurashi…again." Tigeme said with absolutely no emotion. Kikyo came onto the stage and received the award.

"This means so much guys! Thank you! Please pick up my new CD, 'Liking the Wave.'" She said and ran off.

They moved on and soon, they got to rock. All the rock groups were summoned back stage. "For the Rock Genre, in Third place we have," they held they're breath, " Cat Eyes!" they group got up went up stage, said a few words and then sat back down, everyone congratulating them. "For second place we have," They looked at each other.

"Well it has to be one of us. No hard feelings?" Inuyasha asked holding out his hand. Kagome jumped on him wrapping her arms around his neck and rubbed the side of her face on the side of his.

"The best band won, so no." She purred. Inuyasha returned as they awaited the outcome.

"Second place goes to, Dancing Pandas!"

"WHAT!" They yelled.

"THAT'S some fucked up shit." Rin said, her eye twitching.

"Yea, tell me about it." Ayame said. The Dancing Pandas came up and said a few words then went back.

"And for the first place, I'm not going to announce it! Mr. Taisho will! So please welcome him! And if you don't know, he's Inuyasha Taisho's dad. The crowd went wild. Shouts of "You helped create that GOD!" "INUYASHA IS MY KING!" "HE LOOKS LIKE YOU!" and Inuyasha blushed horribly. Kagome smiled.

"Well looks like you won. Congrats." She said. He smiled and kissed her on her forehead. Before he could say anything his dad cut in.

"Well, from what I've seen and heard this has been a great competition. I am here to give a record deal to the first place winner. It was a very, very close race between two bands: Hardcore Dogs, and Whoop-Ass17. So could you guys come out?" The crowd went wild as they came out and waved. Inuyasha and his band stood on one side of him while Kagome and her band on the other. "Well. It was a close race. So close, in fact that they both win."

"WHAT!"

"You both win. The votes were exactly the same and everything. They couldn't help BUT give you both the first place. So I'm proud to announce that I, Inu Taisho, will give my son and his girlfriend a record deal." Inuyasha and Kagome's eyes went huge. So did everyone else's. Kagome's face turned beat red when he put his arm around Inuyasha and Kagome.

"But dad…Kagome and I aren't dating…" Inuyasha managed to say.

"Really?"

"Really, really." Kagome squeaked out.

"Oh Well! You are now!" he said. Kagome and Inuyasha both feel down. Sango threw the dazed Kagome over her shoulder while Sesshomaru dragged the dazed Inuyasha off the stage. At the end, they announced who won the best skit and presentation. Tigeme stepped out of the curtain.

"Well, before we begin our winners' performances, we have who one the best skit. So can the announcers please step forward?" She asked. Kagome, Kikyo, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Sango stepped out all with microphones.

"Just because we're announcing, doesn't mean you won; so don't get cocky." Inuyasha said.

"So the second place winner of the best Skit of Battle of the Bands 2006 is…Onigumo, Hakudoshi, and Kanna!" Sango said as they came out on the stage and accepted the awards and medals.

"The Winner of best Skit of Battle of the Bands 2006 would be…Sakura, Saske, and Naruto!" Inuyasha said. (A/N: Ya, ya, I know, wrong anime. SPARE ME!)

"Believe it!" Naruto said and jumped off the stage.

"For the runner up of best presentation of Battle of the Bands 2006 are…Spike, Faye, and Ed." Sesshomaru said. They came up and received their award.

"And For BEST presentation of Battle of the Bands 2006 is…SOUTA, SHIORI, AND, KOHAKU!" Kagome yelled.

"Ok, maybe not…"Inuyasha mumbled.

"Oh! And I have a dirty little secret about Kikyo…" Souta said, taking Kagome's mike.

"LIGHTS!" A white screen came down and a picture appeared on it. It was Kikyo in a skimpy little whore dress on a pole, pole dancing. She had a top that only covered her nipples, a thong, and whore boots. "We got this picture from unknown sources, cough Miroku cough, of my wonderful big sister, apparently doing what she does best. Stripping!" Souta shouted and Kagome snickered.

"I think that was his little, 'thank you' to everyone." Kagome said as they walked off stage.

Once back stage and everyone who won, was deciding which song to play. "Ok guys. We have a couple options. We could do 'Girls all the Bad Guys Want', 'Funny Little Feeling', or 'Saving me'." Inuyasha said.

"We were going to do the girl, remember?" Miroku said.

"Yea…I remember. It's just I wanted us to go out with a bang." He said, his eyes drifting to the floor.

"True. But I kind of wanted to sing…and the crowd hasn't seen much of me." Kouga said.

"He has a point." Sesshomaru said. Shippo nodded.

"Me too. Hey Kouga, don't we have that song that we made?" He asked.

"Which one? Stand Up or Top of the World?" Kouga asked.

"I GOT IT!" Inuyasha screamed.

"What the FUCK are you talking about!" Kouga screamed, angry at him for objecting.

"FUNNY LITTLE FEELING! We can sing that! It's brilliant!" Inuyasha said.

"Yea… I sing, Kouga, you play bass I think and sing back up, Inuyasha plays lead guitar and Shippo plays second, and Sesshomaru's on set. That's a bang." Miroku said

"That works for me. Anyone care to object?" Kouga asked and no one answer.

"It's settled then. Funny little feeling it is." Sesshomaru said.

"Anyone got any ideas?" Kagome asked rubbing her head. The group sweat dropped.

"Not a clue." Kagura answered rather intelligently scratching her head.

"Wonderful." Kagome said, chuckling sarcastically. "Well we have to do something."

"Yea. I don't want anything to powerful though. Maybe a jazzy feels, even though we are pronouncing our name…" Sango said.

"But isn't it SUPPOSED to be like hard rock to fit our name? It wouldn't be right if it wasn't." Rin said.

"You have any ideas?" Ayame said, glaring.

"…"

"That's what I thought."

"OH! What about that thing Kagura made, it's jazzy!" Sango said.

"What 'thing'? I'm so out of the loop." Kagura said shaking her head.

"That thing you made about crazy something or other." Sango said, checking her mind. "It was made a while ago. Maybe like our freshman year."

"Um…Lets see… There was Crazy…" Kagura murmured.

"Crazy! That was it!" Sango yelled.

"I remember that one. It's a nice ending theme, works for me." Rin said.

"Ok so we need music and parts." Kagome said.

"I remember the line's a little. I think we should all take a part singing. Kagome, don't you have the big song book in your car? That was one of the first songs we put in there wasn't it?" Kagura asked.

"Hey, you're right. I'll go get that, it might have parts too." Kagome said and ran out.

"I was thinking. I remember the song a bit and it was just me and Sango, correct?" Rin asked.

"I think so." Ayame said. "Yea it was because everybody else was singing back up."

"I wanted to sing…" Sango whined.

"Everyone can, there should be enough verses. We'll set it up so that you guys are seen just as well as we are." Kagura said.

"Back! I have the book with lyrics and parts included. Sango and Rin, bass and drums; Kagome, Kagura, and Ayame Backup while one sings and they apparently alternate… Damn my handwriting was bad." Kagome said and sweat dropped.

"Uh, you didn't write that." Ayame buzzed in.

"What do you mean? Of course I did, no one was allowed to touch 'THE BOOK'" Kagome said.

"You're wrong; it was actually quite the contrary. We wrote in it all the time. If I recall, Rin wrote that." Ayame snickered.

"Shut up."

"Oh yes, Rin had the 'boy handwriting'" Kagura said and laughed.

"Shut up!"

"Remember how we used to give her such a hard time because she had worse writing then Miroku's?" Sango snickered.

"OH GOD SHUT UP THEY'RE COMING!" Rin yelled, blushing nervously.

"What about Miroku?" Miroku interrupted.

"What about boy handwriting?" Kouga asked, suddenly coming into the conversation.

"Are you saying we have bad handwriting!" Inuyasha twitched.

"Yes." Kagome answered rather frankly.

"Rin had this bad case of--" Sango started but was quickly cut of by Rin putting her hands over her mouth.

"AH SHUT UP!" She yelled. An interesting vain appeared on Sango's forehead as a mischievous look came into her eyes. "EW, EW, EW, EW, EW! SHE LICKED ME!" Rin yelled wiping Sango's saliva back on Sango's shirt, jumping up and down.

"Nastiness, sick disgusting NASTINESS!" Rin yelled. Sango laughed subtly at first then a huge burst of laughter came down, sending to the floor. Soon after, Kagome caught it, then Kagura, then Ayame, then eventually Rin. The five girls just sat there laughing their guts out till the guys decided to leave because they were freaks.

"Wow they're weird." Shippo said.

"Tell me about it." Inuyasha said.

"We have to go practice." Sesshomaru said.

"Yea." Kouga said.

"They're kind of cute when they laugh…" Miroku said, thinking perverted thoughts again. Inuyasha hit him over the head.

"Pervert."

Back with the girls, Kagome opened one eye to see the boys walk into another room.

"Ok guys, their gone." She said and got up.

"Whew. Thank God for 'get rid of boys C'." Rin said and got up.

"Yep. Where would we be without it?" Sango asked, smiling a bit.

"We would be in one of two situations. Situation A being in a normal environment and B being in jail for drinking, driving, and running over a old lady and in jail, still not having the full concept of what we did. Oh, did I mention we would have boyfriends?" Ayame said and the group sweat dropped.

"Thanks for that, Ayame." Kagome said.

"We have to get practicing. We haven't done this in a while." Kagura said.

"Yea…" Kagome sighed and said. They all gathered they're things and headed into the practice rooms.

"Wait… we forgot something!" Kagura yelled.

"Like..?" Kagome asked.

"Something called a violinist!" Kagura yelled.

"Shit! Where in hell are we going to find a violinist now! They don't just appear you know!" Ayame yelled, grabbing her head. "We're doomed!"

"Um…sorry for interrupting but, did you need a violinist?" A girl asked. Ayame looked at her and saw she had a violin in her hand. Ayame looked at her friends, and looked back at the girl again, then her friends, then at the girl, then finally, to the sky. "Well I was mistaken." She said as the girl gave her a weird look.

"What she means is, yes. We need one. Can you help us?" Kagura asked. The girl nodded.

"Sure! My name's Sair, by the way. And yours are…?" Sair asked.

"OH! I'm Kagura; this is Sango, Rin, Kagome, and Ayame the weird one." Kagura said.

"Nice to meet ya!" she said smiling.

"Well let's get going. We don't have much time." Kagome said as they finally made their way toward the practice room.

"Ok Raetoe, you bitch!" Tigeme screamed in a secret room to her co-worker, "You nasty little bitch! You had no right bringing her into this! I'll kill you!" She screamed louder, baring her teeth. Raetoe huffed.

"Stupid little half breed, you think you can tear me down?" he huffed again, "I had every right bringing Ingra into this. She never had a chance anyway." He said, turning his head.

"What's wrong with you? She's one of the ONLY PURE light demons left in this world. Defying her means… total destruction! Besides that, you could've picked anyone and I would have been FINE with it. But since it was one of my best friends…you crossed the line. Prepare to die." Tigeme said, her eyes turning silver, getting in a battle mode.

"Like a creature like you can bring me down." He said haughtily, also getting into a stance. Tigeme closed her eyes as the walls around them evaporated. A cloud of what seemed like fiery smoke appeared around them. Raetoe looked around, totally confused. "What the hell is this?" he murmured to himself.

"Just making it fair; winner comes out alive. These poison smoke embers with kill you if you step into it and the blue fire will burn you to bits before you can notice. I dare you step out." Tigeme said her voice deeper and more menacing.

"Oh yea…?" he said, quivering a bit at this new power, "well won't you die if you step into it?"

"Not necessarily. You see, you made the wrong move pissing me off. I'll just be passed out for a while. You, if I don't lower it, will die on impact." Tigeme said. "Shall we get started?"

"One more question!" Raetoe yelled.

"What now! I'm getting tired of your stalling."

"How come you didn't tell me this power when we were dating? Or at least tell me about it!"

"Don't be a fool. If a day like today ever came, like it did, I would have to use the ones I didn't tell you to defeat you. Plus, if I did show you, you would have been scared and ran home with your tail between your legs. Let's fight now. I'm tired of your bullshit!" Tigeme yelled and attacked him. She pulled out a black and red sparkling sword with a chain coming form the tip of the blade that dangled loosely down to the bottom of the handle. It was about a foot wide and a yard long. At the end of the blade, there was a thick black leather band with spikes coming out of it and a red cloth handle. Levitating in the air a little, she whispered, "Thunder and lightning!" and she disappeared. Raetoe stood and stiffed around.

First she was there, then here and everywhere! He couldn't keep up with her, her speed would slow down then speed up, and then finally she delivered. She appeared before him and slashed her sword across his chest, a powerful electric current flowing through him and a rumble shaking him violently on the inside. Shook up, he grabbed his wounds and glared. Jumping on a flying saucer that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, he began his assault.

First it began with a poison whip, which slightly got Tigeme's arm, and then moved on to blades of blood which she easily blocked. He came up with this weird power that wrapped her up in some kind of invisible blanket that was slowing and painfully crushing her and that knocked her sword away. "Look's like I'll be the winner, huh Tigeme?" Raetoe said. Tigeme shot him a burning glare and gazed at the Moncan, her sword. She figured if she could just get her hands on it, she could get out. But judging on her current situation, getting her hands on the sword was not going to be easy, so she decided on the second option.

"Tiger claws!" she whispered as her claws turned a gold color and elongated, and she slashed upward, cutting herself out of the suffocating blanket. "I always told you getting cocky in the middle of a fight wouldn't get you anywhere. This isn't even HALF over." She said, glaring. Raetoe growled and zoomed around on his saucer and began a stinging glass attack. Luckily, he had already showed her this attack before and she figured a counter attack. She did a back flip and grabbed her Moncan. Placing the sword straight out, and putting her two fingers on the blade, she moved the blade in a circle and then straight up forming some kind of barrier around herself. It was a transparent kind of barrier but radiated with power. "Backing counter attack!" She yelled as the barrier started revolving around her. Shields appeared outside of it and also rotated. The glass came and bounced off, coming right back at Raetoe. He easily flung him off and glared at Tigeme.

"So…you made a counterattack? That was cold." Raetoe said, trying to get Tigeme to regret.

"Shut up. You gotta do what you gotta do when you're a struggling half demon. You're never safe." She said, pouncing at him. Using her bare claws, she scratched at him. He dodged most of them and punched Tigeme in the stomach. She flopped on to the ground, holding her stomach. She coughed up some blood and spit it out. "Ok. Enough playing." She said. Raetoe laughed. "Well. Are you ready to play with the big boys, little girl?" He mocked. "You're going to regret you just said that." She yelled and grabbed her sword. Raetoe got his sword out as it shined with light. It looked like it was on fire, the design was very sharp in the pattern and the colors were on the dime. There was a fluffy bottom and the hilt seemed to be made of a fuzzy material. "And here comes Blades of Fire!" He yelled as slices of fire came to her. She stared at them as many of the same kind of things came to her, some were blue, some were red, yellow, and orange. She stared still as a blue one sliced across her chest and she damn near passed out. Tigeme returned to reality and snapped into action. "Chain Whip do your stuff!" She said as the chain came off her sword, still connected to the top of the sword and whipped each and every slice back at him. Even these slices were a bit much for him, so he had to either dodge them or slice them apart. When all of them were out of the way, the chain wiped back and connected to the sword again.

"Well Raetoe. I'm afraid our time together is just about over." Tigeme said as her and her sword pulsated. She saw his blood drain from his face as he felt the power. "CHAIN REACTION!" She yelled as the chain dove for Raetoe and it caught him, twirling him and getting him stuck. She held out her free hand and said; "Poison spikes…" and spikes came from her fingernails and were injected into his skin. The chain unraveled him as it came back and went right back for him, striking him in the heart and right between the eyes. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he fell to the floor and she took a knee. That had taken a lot of energy out of her. Amazingly, a few minutes later, he started to get up. 'Damn…' Tigeme thought.

"And here's the final touch, DISTILLING ARROW! See you in the underworld BITCH!" Another voice yelled. Tigeme looked up and prepared Moncan for anything else. She saw Ingra above the flumes shooting her light arrow. She had long, bouncy straight light blond hair and vibrant green eyes. Her ears were pointed at the side of her head as blue chandelier earrings hung from them. She had a white top that hung off one shoulder and stopped slightly before her hip as the other half went all the way to her knee. It had light blue diamond in the middle of it and she had a blue diamond on her forehead. She had blue jeans on with a white, short cheerleader like skirt on over it. She also sported white jeweled heels on. The arrow was shot as a white purifying aura appeared on it as it shot through his chest, blowing him to bits. She landed in the cyclone, next to the kneeling Tigeme. "Hey!"

"Nice of you to get here, I'm dead tired." She said and laughed. Ingra laughed then looked at Raetoe.

"What are we going to do about him?" She asked.

"I got a few ideas…Throw him into the cloud." She said using Tiger Claws to sweep some of him into the plume.

"Why?"

"It will evaporate him and therefore no evidence. But I still need a co-host for the show. Ingra, are you interested?" Tigeme asked, still sweeping the leftovers into the cloud.

"SURE!" She said as she blew the remains in.

"Great. But I need to change and get rid of this cloud." Tigeme said as she swept the Moncan around the circle and the cloud disappeared. "Ok. I'll be back." She said as she walked off. She soon came back wearing a black spaghetti strapped tank top showing a little cleavage and a red over coat with black jeans with a chain and shoes. "Let's roll."

"Lets." Ingra said pretending to put on her MIB (Men in Black, don't own it) glasses on and they walked out of the room but before totally exiting it, Ingra took a long at Tigeme one last time. "Tigeme! What did he do to you!" She yelled.

"What do you mean? I'm fine!" She yelled.

"No, no! Your eyes, Tigeme, your eyes, they've changed!" She yelled. Tigeme gave her a strange look and grabbed a mirror. Her eyes widened.

"What happened to them…They're…lavender, blue?" She said, stunned.

"What? NO! They're green!" Ingra said and looked at Tigeme.

"They must have changed."

"Yea right!" Tigeme said.

"TIGEME! LOOK NOW! THEY'RE RED!" She yelled and Tigeme looked, and behold, they were indeed red.

"Wow…" She said. Now they were back to they're lavender, blue color. Tigeme thought rage, and they turned silver, thought normal, green, thought hurt, cobalt blue. "They change with my emotions!" She thought hate again, and they turned black. "Well. They change, that's for sure. Come on, we have a show to do." Tigeme said and thought normal, they were green again.

"Yea, let's go." Ingra said as they left.
