SHOUT OUTS:
-Stacerue- I'm really glad that you liked it, I hope you continue to do so!
-kashiangel07- Haha, her embarrassment of herself is just part of her charm I suppose. Glad you enjoy it.

DISCLAIMER: I am saddened and dismayed to reveal the truth to you......I do not, nor will I ever, legally own any rights to Inuyasha or it's characters ( I can dream though, haha). However, as I've mentioned before, the personalities given to these characters are infact from my own head, so if they're a little OOC, forgive me, but that is how I want them to be.

Chapter 3:

It took me most of the rest of the afternoon to compose myself so that when Sango and Kikyo arrived, I wouldn't blow a gasket and tell them everything that happened at the ice rink. I might tell them, tomorrow, after we met the band, and then hope they decide not to kill me after all.

Anyways, both Kikyo and Sango just called and by a freaky coincidence, Sango is running the slightest bit late and Kikyo is a tad early, so they should both be arriving at just about 5:15. I glance at the clock and notice that it is now 5:10 so I head outside to wait for them. Once they turn the corner, I'll flag them down to my house.
Kikyo arrives first and I show her where to park so that I won't be boxed in for when we decide to leave. As she gets out of her car, I brace myself for her reaction.

"Oh My God…KAGOME!!! It's been ages," She runs and gives me a hug, practically tackling me in the process, "how are you Kags?"

As I struggle for breath, I see Sango coming around the corner and do my best to flag her down as well. She pulls up to the curb in front of my house and quickly gets out of her car to try and save me from Kikyo's death hug.

"Kiks, dear, you're killing her. If you don't stop, we'll have come all this way for nothing." She laughs.

She gasps and quickly lets me go. "Oops, sorry Kags."

Gasping for air, and laughing, I shake my head and give Sango a hug as well. "I'm so glad that you both were able to make it. We've got the house to ourselves all weekend; mom and gramps are at some Shrine owner seminar and Souta will be staying with a friend since he didn't want to be dragged into a 'girly world' as he put it"

I lead them into the house and show them to my room, where I point out the bed situation; Sango on the main one, Kikyo on the trundle sort of one, and me on the inflatable one. They tried to argue with me at first, but I made it clear that I absolutely love the inflatable bed and seriously use it as often as I could. Sango just smiled and said "You always were the weird one."

"Okay guys, I thought tonight we could just take it easy, relax and watch a movie, you know, just like old times. I already ran out and got our usual Wacdonald choices."

"Sounds great." They both reply.

"What movie are we going to watch?" Sango asks.

I smirk mischievously and reply "I thought we might watch Rakki-kyohaku, for old times sake. That way we can get our Shards of a Demon Soul fix and have a good laugh. Oh, and my lap top is set up to use, as is the computer in the study."

"Sounds Good to me," Kikyo states, "but what will we do after the movie?

"Well, I wouldn't recommend staying up too late 'cause tomorrow night I have somewhere special to take you. That's why I told you to bring your clubbing outfits. Also, there's a time limit on when we can get in so we need to be there before 7. Otherwise, the doors will close and we'll be left out in the street."

"Are you going to tell us where this mystery place is?" Pleads Kikyo, I just smirk back at her.

"If I told you that, it wouldn't be a mystery now would it?" She pouts and I laugh as I head towards the kitchen. "Go ahead and set up the movie, I'll go get the food."

After the movie, which got a delayed start because Souta had messed with the TV again and I had to reconfigure it (and it took forever to figure out what he did), we all cleaned up the living room and headed up the stairs to my room. After we were all in bed, I couldn't help but laugh to myself about what was in store for us tomorrow.

After sleeping in for a decent amount of time, we finally decide to get up and start getting ready. We agreed on going out to eat before I took them to my surprise. It was really almost funny how many evil glares they threw at me throughout the day. But I couldn't stop smiling and though they can't get me to admit why, they know that whatever it is, it must be good.

"Why did we have to leave so early? Kikyo asks as we lhead downtown.

"Because, it takes almost an hour to get there, and we want plenty of time to order our food, eat, relax a bit and still get to where we are going."

Sitting down in the booth at the restaurant, I glance at my watch. Just a little longer and I won't have to hide the truth anymore. I still can't believe I've managed to keep this secret for so long, it's practically killing me.

"Soooo….you really aren't going to tell us where you're taking us?" Sango chimes in, "To be honest, I never knew you could keep something secret for so long."

"Well, you know, I have some hidden talents that I just never showed to you." I laugh in response as I dig into my food.

A little later, after we finally manage to check, we rush out to the car and leave the restaurant.

"It's a good thing I chose a restaurant that was close, otherwise we would never make it." I say as we pull up to the back of a building.

"Uh…Kags, this doesn't look like any kind of club I have heard of, it just looks like the back of a really big building."

"I know Kikyo, but it gets a lot better on the inside, I promise…you guys won't know what hit you."

"Oh great, no offense Kagome, but I lived with you for over a year, and I never really saw you party, so I am sorry if I don't quite have faith in your club choices." Sango chimes in from the back.

"Thanks a lot, I love you too, but have a little faith will you. If you don't like it, I swear to you I will do whatever you ask me to do to make it up to you okay?"

"Deal" they both say, a little too enthusiastically I might add.

We walk towards the door and this big, ugly muscle guy stops us and asks for the passes. I show him our passes, making sure to keep them well out of view of the girls behind me, and he ushers us into the dimly lit hallway.

Sango, walking closely behind me, asks "Uhhh….Kagome, why don't I hear any music yet?"

"That's because it hasn't started yet, remember I told you they close the doors right at 7, that is when the music starts so, we have to wait another 5 minutes."

"Oh, right"

As we get closer, I can just barely make out hundreds of people chanting, I already know what they are saying, but Sango and Kikyo just have the greatest look of confusion on their faces.

Finally, after we get basically right behind the stage, where we can see hundreds of people in a huge auditorium, Kikyo understands what they are saying.

"Sango," she asks, "do you hear what I am hearing?"

"If you are hearing hundreds of people shouting 'Demon Soul, Demon Soul!!!' Then yes."

As if in slow motion, they both look at me completely, gob smacked, and I, being the annoying friend that I am, smile calmly and hold out their shiny backstage passes towards them. As they grasp them in disbelief, we hear the boys approaching from the other end of the stage. We watch as they run out on stage greet the audience and start their wonderful playing. I giggle as Sango can't keep her eyes off of Miroku's bum, and Kikyo, I don't know she may have vacated the mental premises in shock because I don't think she has blinked for 10 minutes.

As the boys near the end of their last song for the evening, I turn the girls towards me.

"Okay, we are about to go meet the band members in person, and there will be no, and I do repeat NO screaming okay. By the way, just so you don't get even more confused than you are, I've already met them briefly, yesterday, so they might bring that up."

"What do you mean you met them?" Sango asks. "There is no way you could have met Sesshoumaru Taisho and not mentioned it once to us, I just don't believe it."

"Believe what you want to Sango, only time will prove me right, anyways, here they come."
