One Year of Hell
Chapter 6: Saved
Confession Cam:
Rin- "Okay, well I have no idea what Inuyasha is so mad about it was an accident. Okay so I did screw up pretty bad but I said I was sorry. He didn't have to try to KILL me! I am soooo lucky those workers held him back after I dove over the counter. I am just too young to die."
Inuyasha- "I am going to KILL Rin! I swear, if I get my claws within walking distance! She ruined my chance at a career! If it weren't for this stupid confession cam Kagome decided to set up for our opinions on the tour I would be letting all this out on Rin, NOT this stupid CAMERA!"
Kagome- "Those two are out of control! Seriously, a 500 dollar bill to McDonalds for DAMAGES! And then there was a medical we have to pay when Rin used some innocent man as a shield! From INUYASHA!"

There was still hours left before the band got to Ohio and then about an hour ride until they got to the hotel they were planning to spend the next tow weeks at. Rin had issolated herself on a top bunk, terrified to let Inuyasha within lunging distance of her. Bank, Sango, Sesshoumaru, and Kouga were sitting in the booth around the table in the middle of an intense game of BS. Ayame was sitting on the floor in the front of the bus in front of Tien who was brading her hair, flipping through channels. Kagome sat beside Inuyasha who was silently sulking, her guitar in her lap as she scribbled in her song book.
"Loves not a game...ugh no that sounds horrible." Kagome mumbled to herself as she scratched something out of her nobebook again. She played out what she had so far to try to get a better idea of what she wanted to come next.
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard
It all before,
The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea.
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here,
Love's not a.....
"Not a sport...." She tried it out and grimaced.
"Loves not a competition." Inuyasha suggested after Kagome's third try. "You've been using synonyms for it the whole time it sounds a lot better."
Kagome tried it out and smiled at how well it flowed. "Thank you, Inuyasha."
"Song writing isn't even that hard."
Kagome glared at his smugness. "You have no idea what you're talking about. Its full of metapors and mixed meanings. Coming up with one line doesn't make you a genious. Songs are complex-"
"They're basically poems with music. You have an idea of how you want the song to sound so you just play around what you imagine."
"Well if its just so easy write your own."
"I think I will."
Kagome's eye narrowed in a competetive way. "Okay we'll both write a song and see who's is better."
"I have my money on Kagome." Kouga said from the table. "She's been writing songs longer than-BS!" He shouted determined that this time Sesshoumaru had lied on his turn. Flipping the card his face fell. "Dammit."
"You're all in for a surprise."

Confession Cam:
Inuyasha- "There is no way I am going to loose this. Two things Kagome doesn't know is that I've been playing the guitar forever and I'm actually pretty good at poetry. Not deciphering all that Shakespears crap but with actual writing."
Rin- "I am praying that Inuyasha is really good at song writing so that way I might be able to pull a couple of strings to get him job. I swear, there are only so many places to hide on this bus."

Inuyasha was stretched out on the couch watching ESPN with the rest of the guys 3 hours after the competition between him and Kagome had been decalred.
"Don't you think you should be working on your song?" Kagome asked from the kitchen as she finished up the song she had been working on earlier.
"I already finished."
Kagome's jaw hit the floor before she quickly collected it from the ground, setting her face back into a cool look.
"Alright then, lets hear it."
Inuyasha picked up Ayame's guitar he was using to get the music to his song done and then ruffled around in his now useless lap top bag until he pulled out the coffee stained paper he wrote his song on. Slowly the rest of the group gathered around, even Rin crept cautiously out from the bunks and beside Sesshoumaru to listen to Inuyasha's song. The guys muted the t.v and Inuyasha waited until all eyes were on him before he started.
Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
Inuyasha stopped playing for a second before starting up again for the chorus.
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
Before Inyasha could even start the chorus Kagome cut him off.
"Okay. You did a great job and I except defeat." She admitted regretfully under her breath but also so that the bus could hear.
"So you're not going to get offended the next time I say how easy song writing is?"
Kagome took a deep breath before sadly agreeing. "I won't"
"You know what this means?" Rin piped up suddenly happier than she's been for the entire ride.
"What?"
'I'm saved of course!' Rin thought happily.
"You can get a job as a song writer and I won't have to pull any strings since you're so good!" She was practically dancing around the new bus with relief of not having to stay in the cramped bunk any longer. There was only so long one person could go without food or any movement. Especially a hyper drummer who eats everything with her high metabolism.
"Think about it your career finally found and its in the music buisness. You could write Kick Ass's next big hit!" Rin was going off with possibilities when she caught Kagome's evil eye and quickly back tracked. "Or just some other bands next big hit."
"Is this supposed to be some kind of apology for ruining my laptop?" Inuyasha asked raising one of his eyebrows.
"It was an accident. But yes." Rin quickly got on her knees in pleading position. "Will you please forgive me if you make it with song writing."
"Will you try not to spill coffee on my songs if I leave them on the table?"
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? Forgive and forget already!"
"I don't know....."
"Oh just forgive her already!" Kagome yelled out. "There won't be a career for Kick Ass if our drummer dies of starvation."
"Fine. Rin you are forgiven."
"YES!" Rin hopped up and started spinning around until she made it to the food cabinets and pulled out a bag of chips. "I was afraid I'll never see these wonderful salty treats again."

Confession Cam:
Rin-"I am soooo glad Inuyasha turned out to be really good because even trying to pull some strings was going to be hard considering Midoriko is hating me at the moment considering when press get a load of the damages at McDonalds. But who cares? I'm just glad to actually be able to move my legs and eat! I'm Saved!"

The group had now settled down into resting positions with Sesshoumaru and Rin squeezed into one bunk and Kouga, Ayame, and Miroku occupying the other three. Bank was asleep in a corner of one of the front seats, Tien asleep resting on his shoulder. Sango was stretched out on the end of the couch that Bank and Tien were on. Across from them Inuyasha was sitting up trying to sleep with Kagome stretched out, head resting in his lap.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome who was silently sulking just a bit over her loss. He lifted Kagome and repostioned himself so his back was resting on the arm rest and his legs were stretched out in front of him. He placed Kagome back into his lap so her back rested against his chest and her legs were also strected out and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Don't worry about losing." he whispered lowly into her ear.
"I wasn-"
"I'll wrong a love song just for you one day." he then took her hand and stoked her engagement ring.
"You better." Kagome mumbled as she drifted slowly to sleep letting nothing but Inuyasha intrude her dreams.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the other one but I had to invent some way to save Rin's ass from extinction and this was the first option that popped into my mind.I usually update extremely late at night but I'm leaving at 10 in the morning for a funeral so and I'll be gone for 4 days so I had to get this one up early today. Tell me wat you think and REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
