As much as I don't want to, I think it would be best if I ended this story very soon. Most likely in this chapter. It started out good, but then it went down hill. I blame myself entirely. So I'm terribly sorry if the ending seems rushed because, well it is. I also didn't go through it very much, so don't be surprised if there's some mistakes in it.
The song is 'I Got a Girl' by Tripping Daisy
Five years later:
"We have been unable to reach the spokesperson for Rubber Band to either confirm or deny the rumor that the band will be breaking up to-"
"This is bullshit!" Kagome yelled as she turned off the TV and threw the remote down.
Rin looked up at her sister from the book she was reading. "Wow, Kag, you've been hanging around Inu way too much."
"There's rumors going around that our band is breaking up, and you don't even get the slightest bit mad? Those reporters can just take a stick and shove it up their-" Kagome angrily said before Rin cut her off.
"No, I don't get mad. I think of it from the point of view of a fan. I buy more band merch and Cds, go to concerts, and beg the band not to break up. All the while sending more money to the band. I do want that new car by the way."
"You know, I've never thought of it like that." Kagome said, "Maybe its you whose been spending too much time with the boyfriend, Miss New Car."
Rin grinned at Kagome. "You know it."
"Okay, I could have gone my whole life without knowing that." Kagome said with a disgusted face.
"Hmm, you could've but then your life would be missing something."
"For, some reason, I don't think so. Come on, we got to get to Ayame's house for the ever important news. She and Koga are probably getting married." Kagome said swiping the keys to her car from the key rack.
-------
Kagome, Sango, and Rin all sat on the couch across from Ayame in the apartment she and Sango shared.
"Ayame, you don't tell us soon, I'm going back in my room to do something more entertaining." Sango threatened.
"Okay then." Ayame said quickly. "Koga and I have decided to keep the baby."
"See, Rin, I told you. She's getting…wait a minute." Kagome said.
"What?" all three girls asked Ayame.
Ayame let out a nervous chuckle. "Well, you see, recently I found out I was pregnant and I told Koga, because, well, you know. And we decided to keep it." Ayame said proudly. "I did have other news to tell you, but Kagome ruined it."
The three girls were quiet for a few seconds.
"So, you mean to tell us that you are pregnant and engaged?" Rin asked.
"Yes." Ayame answered.
"Just in time for the rumors. Maybe now they'll back off, we can say that's why we decided not to do a tour this year." Kagome said.
Ayame laughed. "Its actually why I suggested not doing it this year."
"So you're pregnant and engaged?" Rin asked again.
Ayame rolled her eyes. "Yes, Rin, I am engaged and I am having a baby. Have anything else you feel like asking, if it is a different question?" she asked getting annoyed.
"No." Rin said quietly and sank into her seat.
"When are you going to push that thing out of you?" Sango asked pointing to Ayame's stomach.
"Sometime at the end of March. I still have a long time." she answered smiling.
"You know, I remember when you and Koga hated each other. Now you guys are getting married and having a baby before the rest of us, who have been together at least a year and a half before you." Kagome said. "Even after the confession Rin had earlier." she added as an afterthought.
Rin laughed. "I don't think I'm quite ready for kids just yet. That babysitting job I had a couple years ago really did me in."
"That kid was a monster. Remember the ketchup finger paint in my bedroom?" Kagome asked.
"Ketchup is really good for finger painting. I never would have thought of it." Sango said.
Kagome looked at Ayame seriously. "Watch your walls. Never leave anything that can be spread over them in your kid's reach."
"I'll remember that." Ayame laughed as the memory of Kagome's bedroom resurfaced.
The girls talked about all their babysitting horror stories for the next hour and a half. They were so wrapped up in their conversation that none of them heard the front door open.
"Hey guys." Miroku said to the girls as he walked past them with his hand raised in greeting. He walked straight into Sango's bedroom and closed the door behind himself. Afew minutes later, he walked back out and sat next to Sango on the couch.
"What was all that about?" Sango asked.
"Nothing." Miroku answered simply. "But I really have to go now." he said standing up before bending over to kiss Sango's cheek.
"Bye." the girls said in unison as Miroku opened the front door.
"Bye guys." Miroku replied as he walked out of the apartment and closed the door. He suddenly threw open the door as if he had forgotten something and looked at Ayame. "Oh, and congrats Ayame." he said before slamming the door shut.
"He's been doing that a lot lately." Ayame observed. "Well, except for the congratulating part. I thought Koga wanted to keep it from the guys a little longer."
Kagome shrugged. "I don't know, but I do know you're going to have one cool baby. If you let it hang out with me everyday."
"Yeah, and me once it outgrows throwing up everything it eats." Rin said, "Koga can have it all he wants until then."
"Oh, wow, I guess this means I'm out of a roommate too then." Sango said, "I doubt I'll be able to live with a pregnant lady, then a screaming baby and a crying twenty-four year old guy."
"You could move in with us once we get a house. It'd be a lot bigger then this thing is anyway." Ayame offered.
Sango smiled at Ayame. "Thanks, but no thanks. That's exactly what I want to avoid. No offence or anything."
"The three of us should get a new, bigger apartment together." Rin suggested. "Our lease is almost up and I'm pretty sure yours is too. I mean we moved into them around the same time."
"That sounds wonderful. Although, what if one of us does what Ayame is doing?" Sango asked.
Kagome shrugged. "I guess this means we have to ask the guys if they plan on doing anything that can potentially screw up our living arrangement again."
"I guess I can call Miroku and flat out ask him." Sango said reaching for her phone when it started to ring. She quietly excused herself and went into her bedroom to answer the call. Five minutes later, Sango walked out of her bedroom. "Hey guys, that was Miroku, he wants to go out for lunch, even though that was," she paused to look at the clock, "about four hours ago."
"Maybe you won't have to live with us after all." Rin said as Sango passed the three girls still in the living room.
Sango laughed. "For all our sakes, I sure hope so."
"Go on, get out of here." Kagome said shooing Sango out the door. "Hey, Rin, what now?"
"I don't know." Rin replied.
"Maybe you should take it into your own hands!" Ayame said excitedly.
Rin laughed. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea."
-------
One year later
"Oh, man. That was amazing!" Sango cheered as she and the rest of Rubber Band left the stage. "Who knew returning could be more fun than starting?"
"I did!" Rin yelled gaining a lot of attention from the people rushing past the girls. "Well, with Myoga anything would be more fun then starting." she explained quietly playing with the ring on her right ring finger.
"I know what you mean." someone said from behind the girls.
"Yeah, because of him, we had to take a crash course in crashing through windows." another person added.
"Well, Inu, Sess, if you had calmly knocked on my door, that never would have happened. You can't blame Myoga for that." Sango defended Myoga.
"Yeah, whatever." Inuyasha replied as he and Kagome left the group.
"Where'd Ayame go?" Sango asked when she noticed the guitarist wasn't with the group. "And Miroku and Koga?" she added.
"All of them are busy fussing over the baby." Sesshomaru answered.
Sango rolled her eyes. "Oh god, he's been hounding me for a baby ever since Ayame had her baby. He makes it sound as if he can't wait a few more months." she said before leaving to get Miroku away from the baby.
Rin smiled up at Sesshomaru. "Well then, I guess now would not be a good time to tell Miroku that we've beat him in the baby game. Quite possibly Kag and Inu too."
"Yeah, he'd probably demand to be with the baby all the time." Sesshomaru added taking Rin's hand. "Good thing we found out at the end of your tour."
"Let's go, I'm really hungry. Maybe we can find the rest of our friends and get something."
"Yeah, we better do that a lot. I don't want to be the person bringing his screaming kid to a restaurant so we've got to get our eating with friends fix now."
------------------
At the restaurant, everyone was having a good time. The table the group was seated at was the loudest, but that was to be expected since they were a group of nine. They only got louder when Rin and Sesshomaru announced their news. Congratulations where heard all around and Miroku, as expected, demanded to be with the baby as much as possible after getting on Sango's case about having their own.
As the night went on, the guys announced that they had a new song and wanted to hear what the girls thought about it. The guys walked on the platform in the back of the room and picked up their instruments, which were lying on the floor, except for Miroku, who walked to the drum set.
"You guys thought this all out, didn't you?" Sango asked.
"You know it." Miroku yelled back before counting the song off.
Koga started on his guitar and Sesshomaru sang the first verse.
I got a girl who lives with me
I got a girl she smells so sweetly
I got a girl she loves her dog
I got a girl I love her dog too!
The rest of the guys joined in during the last line of the verse.
I got a girl who stares in the mirror
I got a girl who blames it on her period
I got a girl she is so right
I got a girl she's my guiding light
The band all played louder and harder during the chorus and let the sound die back down after it.
Well I know, I need, I feel were going higher and higher
Well I know, I need, I feel were going higher and higher
I got a girl who loves good soul
I got a girl who dances to disco
I got a girl who wears cool shoes
I got a girl who wears them in the nude!
I got a girl who speaks her mind
I got a girl who will argue anytime
I got a girl she is so small
I got a girl she'll knock down any wall
Again, the sound became more intense during the chorus but didn't die down after it ended.
Well I know, I need, I feel were going higher and higher
Well I know, I need, I feel were going higher and higher
Get a load of this she's always bitching at me when I'm feeling down,
Asking questions with her little frown,
I cant take much much more of this, I'm out
Get a load of this she's always bitching at me when I'm feeling down,
Asking questions with her little frown,
I cant take much much more of this , I'm out....
The tempo of the music slowed to the original pace.
I got a girl I love to kiss
I got a girl I never wanna miss
I got a girl she's my best friend
I got a girl that wont even hold my hand
I got a girl that makes me laugh
I got a girl Ill make her laugh too
I got a girl she has girlfriends
I got a girl I like her girlfriends!!
Well I know, I need, I feel were going higher and higher
Well I know, I need, I feel were going higher and higher
I got a girl
I got a girl
I got a girl
And shes got a guy
Once the music stopped, the girls looked at the guys on the platform with amused expressions on their faces.
"Oh, Inu, I though you hated my dog!" Kagome said first.
"Its growing on me." he replied shrugging.
"I didn't know you knew I danced to disco!" Ayame said.
"And for a second I though you'd be mad about the shoes thing." Koga said relieved.
"What happened to never missing me?" Sango asked.
"I don't want to, so I won't" Miroku answered.
Rin sat in her seat with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Well?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I don't always blame it on my period." Rin said with a huff.
"So you liked the song?" Sesshomaru asked.
Rin sighed and smiled. "Yeah, I do."
"Good, because it was written entirely about you." he said with a smirk.
"What? I don't have a dog, first off!"
"Good luck, Sess." Koga whispered to Sesshomaru. "Been there, done that."
"Thanks." Sesshomaru replied watching Rin's every move, ready to jump out of harm's way if the need arose.
-------------
Okay, its finally done. I can't say I'm completely happy with it, because that would be a lie. Maybe one day I'll fix it up some more and make it more interesting. Be on the lookout for my new story "Dark", trust me its much better written and I'm not going to rush through it just to get new chapters up.
