Chapter 3: A Childhood Song
Kagome and Sango quickly became friends since Kagome's first day of school. Sango can see how Kagome is; a nice kind-hearted girl. For the time being they decided to work on their music project. They're in Kagome's room. "So then Kagome what song should we do?" Sango asks as they look over all the songs they picked out so far. "I'm not sure, but maybe the music teacher said something that we had to make up from a movie soundtrack." Kagome replies as she gets a notebook from her backpack. She then place it in front of Sango to take a look. Sango is impressed on how many songs Kagome have written before she came. "This is quite amazing. Have you been singing of these ever?" Kagome looks down in shame. "I hardly sang any of them, but there's just one I sang naturally from a childhood movie." Kagome blushes as well turning to the pages in her song book. She points to a particular song. Sango reads it thoroughly. "May I listen to you sing it?" Sango asks her pleadingly. Kagome shyly smiles, "Sure. I just hope it'll be good enough for the project." Kagome agrees.
Miroku is in his bedroom, doing homework on his desk. "Miroku, your friend is here." An old man's voice calls him. "Okay thanks Mushin." Miroku calls down to him as he resumes his work. The door opens and in comes Inuyasha. "You better have a good explanation for why you wanted me here, Miroku." Inuyasha irritated said to he as he sits on his bed. Miroku sets his pen down and turns his chair to face him. "I heard from Sango that Kagome is something." Inuyasha can remember in gym class when he saw how Kagome played her part in volleyball. "Yeah, she's something for sure." He agrees. "But something baffles me." He said back to him and lies on the bed. "That she looks like Kikyo, I take it." Miroku interrupts him. Inuyasha just groans. "Did Sango mention anything else about her?" Inuyasha asks him as he wants to know Kagome more and more. "No all I got from Sango was just that." Miroku said back to him. Inuyasha groans even more. "Damn, and I thought that Sango could get more information on her." Miroku calms him. "Inuyasha, it's been a day. Make sure Kagome is a new student, and she must get used to the new place." He advices him trying to calm him down. "Fine, I'll wait but you know how impatient I can be once in awhile." Inuyasha concluded. Miroku rolls his eyes and resumes his homework, which got him thinking. "Hey aren't you supposed to do your homework as well?" Inuyasha scoffs. "No, even though I literally know everything." Inuyasha smirks. Miroku turns around, "You know you have to do it unless you fail the 10th grade. And you know how the teachers are to you." He warns him. Inuyasha gets off of Miroku's bed and looks out the window. "I don't even care about it. I just want to pass my year. Because once I'm done with High School, I don't have to do anything else afterwards." Miroku seems surprised for his reason. "But what about college? should you be thinking about that?" Inuyasha turns around and leans on the windowsill. "I don't give a damn about it. I don't even know what I want to do for the rest of my life." He honestly replies. He knows he's not the only who would have a problem with that. Who could blame him? Frankly enough, he doesn't know what to do for the rest of his life. It's nothing but an unknown future.
The following day, Kagome and Sango are in the music room. Sango looks over the music sheet that they had to print out for their project. "So it's played by an instrument." Kagome nods with a smile, "Yes and it was originally played by a shell flute from a sacred island." Kagome said as she looks down in her notebook, and the music sheet on the piano stand. Sango told Kagome this, "I forgot to mention that I played the piano for 8 years." She smiles up to her. Kagome smiles back as she observes Sango playing the piano like a pro. "Hearing that music, makes me feel I wanna sing the song." Kagome glees as she sits down on the bench. Sango giggles and memorized the notes until she gets the theme right. "So when are we supposed to present this project?" She asks Kagome. Kagome immediately replies, "This Friday." Sango nods. She then grabs the sheet and puts it in her backpack. "We can practice more at my place if you're up for it." She offers her invitation. Kagome pulls out her phone and texts her mother to let her know what she's going to do after the school. "I know my mom doesn't mind, but she needs to know anyway." Kagome assures her as she grabs her stuff and they leave the music room.
In Math class, Kagome was in her seat in the corner, still writing in notebook, thinking of ideas on how her new songs should be like. Unfortunately she couldn't get any, but knows in due time that she'll come up with something. So preoccupied with her writing, she didn't notice a shadow covering her. Feeling anxious for who could be behind her, she slowly turns around to find just Inuyasha. "Is this seat taken?" He asks as he points to the seat next to her. She shakes her, "No, you can have it as she grabs her bag and puts it under her seat. Inuyasha gets comfortable in his seat. "So I hear from Miroku, that you're new." He starts off. Kagome shyly blushes, "Yes. It's my second day here." She replies as she puts her notebook away. Inuyasha tilts his head, and could see one of the pages with lyrics. "Are those lyrics you wrote?" He curiously asks her. Kagome stiffens, but wants to make a good impression on him. "Yeah, I love to write songs." Inuyasha quickly grabs the notebook without Kagome moving her head due his quick reflexes. "I wanna take a look at these." He requests as he turns the pages. "I have to admit these are really good." He compliments her skills. "Thanks." She simply said. "Would it kill you to sing these?" He asks with enthusiasm. She couldn't help but giggle. "Okay, I have music class 2nd period tomorrow morning and that's when I sing my song." She smiles as she grabs the book back and into her bag. "I'll be there." He said as soon as their math teacher came into the room to begin.
Through the rest of the day after math class, Kagome began to warm up to Inuyasha and oddly Miroku. Inuyasha warns her not to get too close to him because of his perverted habit. She seems to forget about Kikyo's warning to stay away from him. It's a good thing though Kikyo wasn't even in any of her classes, so there's nothing to worry about. Right?
Luckily for Inuyasha's schedule, his 2nd period is study hall, which gives him a chance to slip out of the room and head towards the music room that Kagome and Sango are in. He made himself invisible and just enters the room and sat in the corner of the room to witness Kagome's performance. "Okay girls, what is your song?" The teacher asks them. "This is song is what I wrote from a childhood movie that I loved. It was originally from a shell flute. But throughout the years, the music can be played by any other instrument. For example, Sango and I for a music sheet of the music for the piano, and seeing how she's a piano prodigy, she gladly helped me out with the project." Kagome explains her work to the class. "Ah I see, so what's the title of the song you wrote?" The teachers asks her with interest. Kagome and Sango smiles, "The title is 'The Legend Comes to Life'." Kagome stands onto the platform, as Sango begins playing the Piano.
The legend will come to life
If the chosen one brings all three
Treasures for the beast of the sea
And they're from three legends that I know
If I told you what they are, then you'll might know
Chorus
That's when the legend comes to life
I didn't know that the water would make it all new
For everyone and you
I'm glad that we're all right
Then we can see the light up in the sky so bright
That I can see the sea
And here he comes up from underneath the sea
That's when the legend comes to…
That's when the legend comes to life
I can't believe that everything is back to me
So many things have been what they used to be
I glad that all that everything that made it here
That I can see the underwater river up there
It so huge it must be one of the largest rivers
But I thought that rivers were blue, but this one is silver
Repeat Chorus
That's when the legend comes to life
I hope you'll understand
To make a legend come to life
Everyone in the class applauded for them. Even Inuyasha did. "Remarkable Kagome, and Sango. I had no idea you really are that good. Especially to make the music of a movie's soundtrack into a song." The teacher smiles with impression. "Thank you." Sango said as she comes up to Kagome's side. Inuyasha smiles. He had no idea that Kagome would have a voice from angels. He made sure he gets back to study hall so that the teacher wouldn't get suspicious about his absence throughout most of the duration. 'She's one of a kind.' He comments her talents.
"The Legend Comes to Life" is from "Pokemon The Movie 2000 Soundtrack" After hearing it for awhile, it just gave me the idea to write the lyrics. Plz tell me what you think of it.
