I've noticed that I haven't been giving descriptions of what people are wearing anymore. Oops! I'll start again, but I'm not sure how well this is going to work out. Also, everything that happens in this story has happened in real life to me, except the singing and band stuff. I have no musical talent at all. Its pretty weird to know that I'm around all this
Disclaimer: I don't anything that may or may not be present in this chapter.

Once everyone was in dry clothes, they began to stake out the prime sleeping spots. There was the sectional with a pull out bed, two overstuffed recliners, and the ever popular floor. All four girls ran to the part of the couch that held the bed and took off the cushions. They threw them back without looking and pulled out the bed in record time. Somehow they had managed to all fit on it sitting, later sleeping on it would be tackled. The guys didn't really know what to do, first they were somehow caught in a stampede of girls and then they were attacked with cushions. When all seemed normal with the girls, they began to laugh and look at the guys.
"I'm going to go get something." Rin said as she ran out of the room laughing to herself the whole time. When she came back, she tried to turn on the light switch while holding a box. Every time she tried to turn it on, she just rubbed the wall around the switch. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and walked over to help her.
"Here, let me help you." he turned on the light with out any difficulties and realized what he had just done. "Wow, I had to help you turn on a light switch."
"And its much appreciated!" Rin said trying to conceal the box in her oversized shirt and scurrying over the bed. Once she made it over, she jumped on the bed and the girls formed a circle around the box. Again the guys were confused by their actions but didn't say anything. Suddenly, they were attacked by the contents of the box. It was raining tampons in the living room that night. The girls were getting into it and started yelling random things that they had learned about it history class when they weren't bored or almost sleeping.
"Hirikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw a tampon in a random direction. It hit Inuyasha, bounced off his head, and came back to her. When she caught it, she started laughing. "Wow, I thought that only worked when you used and oversized boomerang thingy, but I guess tampons work just as well."
"Haha, very funny." Inuyasha said while getting a pillow ready to throw at Sango. "Hirikotsu!" he yelled as he threw it.
"Sorry Yash, that only works with tampons." Rin said as the pillow landed on the bed.
"Well, I'm not going to get one." he answered turning a slight red.
"Why not, do they make you feel awkward?"
"No, you make me feel awkward."
While all this was going on, Sesshomaru held one still wrapped in his hand inspecting it. He got the urge to open it and check it out. He did and got even more curious. "Hey, how many of these do you think it would take to clog a toilet?"
"I'd say about fifteen give or take five." Ayame answered laughing.
"You would know this why?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I just do."
"I bet you tried it! Didn't you?" he asked getting suspicious.
"I'm not at liberty to discuss that so shut up before I have to go all Naomi on your ass!" Ayame yelled while pulling out her cell phone.
"That was a Blackberry she used." Sesshomaru said noticing the black flip phone.
"Yeah well, this is a Samsung! Its pretty tough too, its been through the washing machine and lived!"
Kagome sensed a fight coming on so she jumped in. "How about we watch a movie? We just got 'Hot Fuzz' this morning."
"Sounds good, lets get our watch on!" Miroku said as he went with Kagome to find the movie leaving the less than sane people in the room. When they came back with the movie, Ayame and Sesshomaru were still fighting over cell phones, Rin and Inuyasha were still fighting over who made the other feel more awkward, and Sango was still laughing over catching the tampon that bounced off Inuyasha's head. Kagome went through the obstacle course of the room to put the movie in and pressed play. Thirty minutes into the movie, everyone had fallen asleep. The girls managed to cram themselves on the bed. Sesshomaru and Miroku were on the recliners, and Inuyasha was on the other half of the sectional.

The next morning, Rin's cell phone was ringing. Groggily she answered and agreed to everything the person said. She hung up and started to drift back off to sleep. Realization dawned on her and she screamed something about getting ready and going to the studio. Guess who called. If you guessed Myoga, congratulations you're right. The screaming woke everyone up and girls barely caught what she was saying. They started to run around the house getting ready. Ayame had managed to go home to get changed but came right back. The guys on the other hand had no idea what was going on with the girls until Myoga called Inuyasha's phone. What was this musical phones? Their eyes widened and they rushed home to get ready.
The girls had finally managed to calm down once their morning rituals were done. Rin was wearing faded blue jeans and a light blue shirt with skulls, rainbows, hearts, and lightning bolts on it. On her feet, she wore her low top ADD designed Converses as the were affectionately nicknamed. She put her hair up in a loose ponytail and left her bangs out.
Kagome was wearing a long orange shirt with crazy designs on it with black leggings. She wore black slip on shoes and left her hair down with a black headband separating her bangs from the rest of her hair.
Sango wore black skinny jeans and a black shirt with skulls of different colors randomly placed. Her studded belt helped to mix things up and her black low top Chucks just went with everything.
All the girls wore simple makeup which was black eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow.Any more and they felt weighed down by it.
Ayame was the last one done. She was wearing a black mid thigh skirt with a plain white shirt. She wore black and white striped knee high socks and white Converses. Just as they were about to leave in Rin's car, the girls remembered what happened yesterday and filled Ayame in.
"...And that's why we were in the pool and racing to get out." Sango finished the story as Rin yelled into her phone at Sesshomaru about the missing cars.
As she hung up, Rin told them what Sesshomaru had said. "Well, he told me that he can't bring the cars over now since we really have to leave, but he promised that we will have them back after recording."
"No problem." Ayame began. "We can take my car! Its a green Buggy!" she tempted
"They're so cute! Come on, lets go!"Rin said running to the house that she knew was empty until Ayame moved in.

After rocking out in the little green German import, the girls were trying to find a parking spot. The idea had been to go to the guys' spots and take one of them since they always traveled together. As they came closer to the spots, they noticed a sign over four previously unmarked spots. The first one had Sango Satou written on it, the second had Rin Higurashi, followed by Kagome Higurashi, and lastly was Ayame's spot appropriately labeled Ayame Watanabe. There was much excitement in the parking lot that morning as Ayame pulled into her spot and turned the car off. As they walked into the studio, they read the names on the spots next to theirs. Next to Sango was Miroku Tanaka, then Inuyasha Takahashi, Sesshomaru Takahashi, and their new member Koga Itou. So with the eight spots reserved no one would ever be without one and a repeat of yesterday would not easily happen.
The girls made their way to the studio they were in the day before and walked in just as the guys started to play their song 'Calling all Skeletons.' Sesshomaru began the song before anyone played anything, but soon he and Koga were playing their guitars while Inuyasha and Miroku clapped.
(Sesshomaru, Inuyasha or both)
Here it is again
Yet it stings like the first time
Seems like it never ends
Double nickels on your dime
I thought we were friends
I guess it just depends who you ask
These feelings tend to leave me
With a hole in my chest A hole in my chest Yeah, a hole in my chest
Miroku and Inuyasha stopped clapping and began to play their instruments before the last line was over.
Now the time has come
I just wish I could erase
All the time it's gotten to your name
And your keep sakes
It's only just begun it's been fun
We were blind deaf and dumb
There's a party in my closet
Calling all skeletons All skel- All skeletons Calling all
Inuyasha began singing the chorus with Sesshomaru while still playing his bass.
Where did you go
As the lights went black
Look what's become of me
I've come to love your disappearing act
Do one more pretty please
When the chorus was over, Inuyasha began to just play his bass again.
Now the time has come
I just wish I could erase
All the time it's gotten All this pain I've decided
It's only just begun it's been fun
We were fucked up and numb
There's a killer on the corner
And he's looking for love He's loo- Looking for love Yeah he's looking for
Where did you go
As the lights went black
Look what's become of me
I've come to love your disappearing acts
Do one more pretty please
And to tell you the truth
I lost my faith on you
you gotta stop sneaking up on me
And these unspoken lies That we wrote all these times
You gotta stop sneaking up on me
They're hiding just beyond your eyes!
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru began to sing together until the end of the song. Miroku clapped again until the drums came back in, then he and Koga switched what they were doing so Koga clapped while he played.
Where did you go
As the lights went black
Look what's become of me
I've come to love your disappearing acts
Do one more pretty please
Where did you go
As the lights went black
You nearly gave us a heartattack
We thought your mind swam out to sea
You gotta stop sneaking up on me
You gotta stop sneaking up on me
When they finished, Myoga congratulated them and told them that they were free for the rest of the day. So far, they had recorded six songs, Lost in Hollywood, Lonely Day, Deathbed, Calling, Calling all Skeletons, and Pray for me. They had planned on using the songs from the contest and other songs that they had written. With what Myoga said, the guys packed up and came out of the booth.
"You guys better get our cars while we're doing this!" Sango yelled poking her finger in Miroku's chest.
"Yeah, and while you're at it, wash them too." Rin added looking at Sesshomaru.
"Why not go the extra mile and have 'em waxed." Kagome said getting her guitar ready and glancing at Inuyasha
"And I know we weren't here for this, but you can do the same with mine." Ayame said throwing her keys at Koga and hitting him with them.
"You do have our keys right?" Rin asked. All the guys except Koga smirked and pulled out their own keys and another set from their pockets."Good, now go and remember, I like vanilla air freshener, Kagome is strawberry, Sango is cinnamon, and Ayame is..." she trailed off letting Ayame finish.
"Cherry!"
"Got that? Now go, and never take our cars again unless you want this to happen again." Rin said and pointed to the door.
Grumbling, the guys made their way out and towards the parking lot. Kagome ran and stuck her head out of the doorway. "Oh and guys, think of this as a male band bonding experience.We all know you need it, especially Inuyasha and Koga."
"Okay, so now that they're gone, you need at least ten songs for your album. I advise you to use the ones from the contest so that would be four, one cover song is allowed and then you need to come up with five more." Myoga said with much practice.
"Well, we already know our cover song!" Kagome said excitedly.
"What song would that be?" Myoga asked getting out a tablet and opening it to a clean page
"'In the Pretend World' originally by Scarling." Kagome answered.
After writing down the band's name and the cover song, Myoga looked up. "That's fine, now do you have any other songs mind now? Remember, you can use the songs from the contest."
"Alright, we'll use them then. They were, I Think I'm Paranoid, Underjoyed, Perfect, and Haunted. And then adding the cover, we're half way done with picking the songs."
"Shall we start recording now?" Myoga asked getting ready for the girls to begin.
"Yes we shall!" Rin said.
""Let's begin with 'In the Pretend World', 'I Think I'm Paranoid', and finish tonight with 'Underjoyed'.
The girls did not waste any time getting into the booth and starting their songs. Soon they would be well known and hated even more by some people like Kikyo, who seemed to be Rin and Kagome's only cousin not in a good band. When they finished the three songs for the day, Myoga stopped them before they could leave.
"Girls, tomorrow I have set up a day with your band and Kids in Cars to be on Bobby-Boom's radio show. Spread the word about yourselves! Right after you record, you will go there, so tomorrow will be an early recording day. Be here about nine o'clock."

There it is in all its glory or something to that effect! I have most of the songs picked out for the albums but I still need a few more. If there's any that you think would go good with the story let me know. Just no rap, something the would be on Disney, or whatever else there is that is similar to those! I have a list of some of the bands I like on my profile so try to stick with stuff like that! Thanks for your help!
