Chapter 7:

Kouga loosened his tie and undid the top button as he entered his office. InuYasha was glued to the pictures of Kouga and Kagome as she grew through her pregnancy and some of the sonogram pictures Kouga had framed.

"I see you've met Sayuri," Kouga whispered looking at the latest sonogram photo.

"You knocked her up?" InuYasha growled as his Beast rose to protect his sister pack member.

"No," Kouga replied sadly, the aura strong enough to bring InuYasha back, "The sire is out of the picture, I plan to raise the pup as my own. Little Sayuri Melody Wolfe."

"What kind of bastard would pup Kags then leave with his damn tail between his legs?" InuYasha demanded, not expecting an answer.

"Ask that dick of a brother of yours!" Kouga heard his Beast growl. 'Shit'

Looking confused, InuYasha returned his gaze to the sonogram picture. "Is my brother the reason she isn't attending the wedding?"

"To be honest, I don't think she has gone through her mail since she moved in," Kouga answered, again putting his foot in his mouth. "It was great seeing you, but I have an artist waiting…"

"If it's Kagome, can I please stay and listen. I'll stand in a dark corner and everything," the puppy eared Inu negotiated.

"Fine, but if you upset her, you deal with me!" Kouga's Beast growled.

Kagome heard Kouga's voice through her headphones, "Alright girlies, are you sure you're ready for this?"

"More than ready lets burn some bridges," Kagome responded as she rubbed her very rounded stomach.

InuYasha leaned against the wall for support, the pictures were real, and Kags was really pupped. "Holy shit," he muttered to himself.

She heard Kouga count down, preparing herself for the first note, when she and the piano became one.

Kagome Higrashi

Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away

Just get through this day

Give up your way, you could be anything,
Give up my way, and lose myself, not today
That's too much guilt to pay

Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way

You're just so pretty in your pain

Give up my way, and I could be anything
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.

So run, run, run
And hate me, if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore

You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby

Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out

And you'll never hurt me again.

Kagome felt wetness on her cheeks, and was glad Kouga was the only one to see her weakness. She used her palms to dry her face and rubbed her extended stomach as a small whimper sounded. Kagome had found her way out and she would never let Sesshomaru hurt her or Sayuri ever again.

"You okay?" Kouga asked, "We can stop now?"

"No, that was the wound Sessh opened, this next song is the balm to that bastard," Kagome responded.

Kouga looked back at InuYasha and knew the hanyou had figured it out, or had a vague idea of what had gone down. "Shit," was all Kouga could manage, "Let me get Soten and Rin in here."

"Oh, Soten has the track for you of that old song of mine, you have to hear my teenage angst," Kagome laughed trying to lighten the mood.

The young women joined Kagome putting on their headphones and quickly going through their scales.

The anger emanating from the Inu was distracting, but Kouga persevered as Bank, Manten and Hiten joined the sound booth entourage.

The techno vibe and guitar intro began and Kagome smiled.

Kagome Higrashi
Rin, Soten and Kagome

Embrace the silence
'Cause there's nothing
That can change the way I feel
Taken all that you wanted
Now there's nothing
That can change the way I feel

Hold on, little girl
The end is soon to come

Sick of it all
Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all
Sick of it all
They don't understand how
Sick we are
Sick we are
Of this bottomless
Pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Oceans between us
And there's nothing
That can change the way I feel
I can still taste the poison
Of every thought,
Every breath I wasted here.

Hold on, little girl
The end is soon to come

Sick of it all
Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all
Sick of it all
They don't understand how
Sick we are
Sick we are
Of this bottomless
Pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Someday you'll know the pain
Someday the light will break through
And nothing you tell yourself
Will save us from the truth

Screaming out!
Sick of it all
Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all
Sick of it all
They don't understand how
Sick we are
Sick we are

Of this bottomless
Pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

"That one is dedicated to Sayuri, she is going to be a strong woman who doesn't take shit from anyone" Kagome said rubbing her stomach feeling the little life respond. "Kouga, put in Soten's track, and get your asses in here! This is going to be great!"

Kouga looked back at InuYasha, "Hey babe, someone just showed up you are going to want to see. Can he join?" Kouga asked.

"Jak?" Kagome guessed.

"Nope, doesn't swing from that branch, try again," Kouga teased.

"Let me hear this mystery man's voice…" Kagome demanded with a raised brow.

"Only if you promise not to get too excited and have your water break," Kouga said with a laugh.

"Don't make me purify you," Kagome teased, "And I'll be good, promise!"

InuYasha walked slowly up to the intercom, "Hey Kagsy, been awhile."

"Yash, is it really you?" Kagome asked her expression going from scared to excited in seconds. "If it is you get your ass in here and give me a hug you dirty dog!"

InuYasha joined the group of men who walked into the large recording room, complete with couches and chairs. A very pregnant miko was in his arms and squeezing the life out of him before he was able to smell her. Then he smelled the salt of her tears, "I missed you so much, I'm so happy for you and Ayame too!"

InuYasha hugged her back, "So are you coming to the wedding?"

"I'm invited, I didn't think I was invited," Kagome babbled. Then grabbing his hand placed it on her stomach, "Meet Sayuri." The little pup kicked his foot and a small woof was heard. InuYasha smiled and growled back at the stomach, which imitated him and kicked again.

"You are going to have your hands full with that little shit, "InuYasha teased.

"I hope so," Kagome said with a smile that made her blue eyes nearly glow. "We will have to catch up, after this. I promise it will be epic."

Kagome sat between Kouga and InuYasha on one of the couches, as Hiten pinned Rin to a loveseat and Bank and Manten found comfy chairs. Getting the remote, Soten hit a button that caused a very Pop/Techno beat (very un-Soten) to pulse through the room, but Soten and Rin smiled hugely. Then a more rocker beat began as Soten sang and strutted toward Bank.

Soten Kudo
Rin Jenner and Soten

I call you up when I know he's at home.
I jump out of my skin when he picks up the phone.
Why can't I tell if he's looking at me?
Should I give him a smile? (Soten traced Banks lips with her finger)
Should I get up and leave?
I know it's strange, I don't know what I'm thinking
But is it wrong if I see him this weekend?

I really hope I can get him alone.
I just don't, don't want her to know.

Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
My best friend's brother is the one for me! (Suddenly Rin pushed herself on Hiten's lap as she sang accompaniment)
Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
A punk rock drummer and he's 6 foot 3!
I don't want to, but I want to,
Cause I just can't get you out of my mind!

Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
My best friend's brother is the one for me!
BFB! BFB!
My best friend's brother. My best friend's brother.

I kinda think that I might be his type. (Soten did a sexy shimmy that made Bank's eyes bulge)
Because when you're not around, he's not acting too shy. (Rin touched Hiten's cheek, while he had his hands on the Rin's hips)
Sometimes I feel like he might make a move.
Is this all in my head?
I don't know what to do.
I know it's strange, I don't know what he's thinking.
But is it wrong if I see him this weekend?

I really hope I can get him alone.
I just don't, don't want her to know. (In unison the girls looked at each other and shrugged)

Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
My best friend's brother is the one for me!
Yeeeeaaah
A punk rock drummer and he's 6 foot 3.
I don't want to, but I want to,
Cause I just can't get you out of my mind and

Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
My best friend's brother is the one for me!
BFB! BFB!
My best friend's brother. My best friend's brother.
BFB! BFB!
My best friend's brother. My best friend's brother.

(After Rin peeled herself from Hiten, she and Soten walked to the middle of the room and faced each other)

Cause he's such a dream.
Yeah
And you know what I mean,
If youweren't related.

(The two strutted back toward their destinations: Bank and Hiten)

Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
My best friend's brother is the one for me!
Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
A punk rock drummer and he's 6 foot 3.
I don't want to, but I want to!
Cause I just can't get you out of mind and

Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah Yeeaah!
My best friend's brother is the one for me!
BFB! BFB!
My best friend's brother. My best friend's brother.
BFB! BFB!
My best friend's brother. My best friend's brother.

The song ended with Soten on a baffled Bank's lap and Rin on a smiling Hiten's lap. Manten was still in shock from seeing his sister shimmy like a stripper and wanted eye bleach, a shit load of eye bleach. Kouga and Kagome were laughing and leaning into each other, while InuYasha processed that Kagome had written this in high school about Sesshomaru.

Hiten tossed Rin over his shoulder with a wicked grin, "This BFB agrees, any more songs that puts this hot little ass in my lap… please God make it happen!" With that he was gone with Rin who gave the room a big smile and wink. Apparently Thunder demons were assertive because Bank was being dragged out by Soten, "He's going to need the next few days off, he'll be busy." Bank looked like he was about to ask for help until he released that a sexy legal female was about to ravage him until he couldn't walk… and he would be an idiot to complain.

Manten slowly stood, "I think, I'm going to go throw up."

"Manten, you know I love you. I set up a date with you and Yura, Kouga's secretary. She has a thing for bald men." Kagome said with a wink.

"Isn't she a Hair demon?" Manten asked apprehensively.

"Hey, every girl has her fantasies and desires, if bald men flip her switch; I'm guessing you are going to turn her on!" Kagome added to the blushing Manten. He left rather quickly in the direction of Kouga's office instead of the bathroom.

Kouga and InuYasha looked at Kagome's rounded stomach as Sayuri emitted some growls and a small yip. To InuYasha's surprise, Kagome growled back much like an Inu with soft barks. She seemed unaware of her actions, and InuYasha couldn't believe that his idiot brother was missing these precious moments.

"Time for lunch, that little lily, is about to become a thorny rose," Kouga teased. They were all surprised when Sayuri let out a warbled howl at the sound of Kouga's voice.

"Did you hear that?" Kouga asked getting on his knees at eye level with Kagome's stomach "Is the lil' lily trying to talk to me?"

Another warbled howl, that caused both Kagome and Kouga's eyes to mist. InuYasha just watched as his blood niece bonded with her replacement father, she was howling. Inu pups did not howl, and wolf pups could howl much more proficiently then this pup. InuYasha needed to talk to Sesshomaru about why he wasn't taking reasonability for Sayuri.
