Chapter 18. Me And The Moon & All Around Me
Sesshoumaru closed his notebook, and put it in his bag. He stared at it for a moment, and looked back at the scene where all of his classmates exited the busses and ran towards various parts of the beach. He stood up, and turned to grab his bag when Kagura decided she was going to flirt, I mean, talking to him. Sesshoumaru scoffed.
"Hello there Sesshoumaru, aren't you going to join us?" She asked, in her usual lustrous voice, that made many other males melt.
"'Us' meaning you, and your little cult, no. Kagome, and my other friends however, yes." Sesshoumaru said monotonously and walked around her, and off to the lake side, after leaving his things with their's. He waved, and they motioned for him to get in the water with them. They didn't have to get on stage until asked too. He stepped in, and walked out to where everyone was residing.
"A bit cold, isn't it?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru shrugged.
"Not really, are you cold? You should go dry off then-."
"I'm fine, stop sounding like my mom." Kagome sniffled.
"Oh sure. This is coming from you, who acts just like her mother sometimes. Ha." Sesshoumaru shot back, pointing his finger at her. Then he noticed that everyone who was once beside them were over by the lake markers(I know what they are, I just can't spell it.) Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed.
"You guys! Come back! You know why those things are there! Dangerous things are on the other side, that's why!" Sesshoumaru yelled over to him, thinking about dangerous creatures, that lurked around the other side of the net underneath.
Kagome raised an eyebrow at him. Sesshoumaru shook his head.
"Whaaat? I've seen the movies." Sesshoumaru said as he began walking around in the water, then ducking down into it. "They ignored me anyway, see if I care when Jaws pops out of the sea floor and eats them." Sesshoumaru said as he came back up.
"Er.. Sesshoumaru.. It's a lake, there's no sharks." Kagome said looking at him questionably.
"Kagome.. Shut up, and don't ruin the moment." Sesshoumaru started floating on his back. Kagome jumped on him forcing them both under.
"Ack!" Sesshoumaru choked before going under with Kagome. He took her in his arms, and forced her back up. He gasped for breath and she laughed.
"Why?" He asked, choking a little bit on water.
"Felt like it. You're acting like you have a stick rather far up your ass." She replied and moved her hair from her eyes. He stuck his tongue out at her.
A few moments later, the head teacher of the event called over to the friends asking them to prepare for their performance. Kagome squealed in joy and rushed out of the water, and towards the bathrooms where Rin, Sango, and Ayame would prepare. They had brought all of their things, make up, clothes, hair products, the works. They talked the entire time, girl stuff, the dance, Kagome and Sesshoumaru's growing relationship..
"He just asked me to be his date. It's not that big a deal." Kagome argued.
"Yeah, but he could have asked anyone else, and he chose you! Sango shot back. Ayame, and Rin nodded their heads in agreement.
"Ugh, that'd be because I'm one of the only girls on the planet that he can tolerate." Kagome continued.
"Oh, shut up! Can't you just shut up and be happy about it! Why can't you just let yourself enjoy it!" Sango yelled, probably to the point that Sesshoumaru, who was on the other side of the thin wall could hear. Kagome sighed.
"Ok, you're right, I give up. I shall be blissfully happy." Kagome said looking toward the door where she heard that Sesshoumaru was already done, on stage and singing to what sounded to be an instrumental song, he was on the piano. She'd never heard of the song, or read the lyrics, so she was curious. The entire bathroom was silent as they listened.
It's a good year for a murder
she's praying to Jesus, she's pulling the trigger
there's no tears, cause he's not here
she washes her hands, and she fixes the dinner
but soon they'll be coming to rush her away
no one's so sure if her crime had a reason
reasons like seasons
they constantly change
and the seasons of last year
like reasons have floated away
away with this spilt milk
away with this dirty dish water, away
seventeen years, and all that he gave was a daughter
"It's me and the moon," she says
"And I got no trouble with that
but I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die"
"It's me and the moon," she says
And it's over, but it just started
the blood stained the carpet
her heart like a crystal
she's lucid and departed
a life left behind, she can find in her mind gone away
Away with these nightmares
away with suburbia
shake down away
you marry a role and
you give up your soul 'til you break down
"It's me and the moon," she says
"I got no trouble with that, but I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die"
"it's me and the moon," she says
But what do you say we go for a ride?
what do you say we get high?
but I'm so tired of days that feel like the night
"It's me and the moon," she says
"and I got no trouble with that, but I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
but I am a butterfly, you wouldn't let me die
I am a butterfly, I am a butterfly, I am a butterfly…"
By the end of the song, Kagome was almost in tears. She was ready to get on stage so she walked out, and found Sesshoumaru with his notebook on top of the keyboard, and he was writing. Kagome climbed onto the stage and sat next to him.
"Sesshoumaru, that was beautiful. When did you write that?" Kagome asked gently.
"Earlier today. And thanks." He said still writing the music to the song.
"You're welcome. You got ready rather quick. That's new." Kagome laughed.
Sesshoumaru stopped writing and looked at her. "Shut your cakehole." He spat.
Kagome stuck her tongue out at him and grabbed an electric guitar and began to play a song. Sesshoumaru hadn't heard this one so he suspected that she had written it by herself, without informing anyone, like he did with Me And The Moon. She began to sing, and again everything went silent, and Sesshoumaru gaped.
My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire rising through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed
As she finished, there was the same applause that there was for Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru himself clapped too. He stood, done writing down the music, and sauntered over to her.
"I guess we both have some good stuff up our sleeves." He smirked.
Yaaayy~ Finally. I don't know why these take so long..
