AN: Look everyone, I'm alive! Since when does that happen?...sorry, I had a LOT going on…One of my best friends has a crush on the guy I like (even though neither of us will admit it…not out loud, at least.)

Plus I found out how my class really sees me, and that was really hard because apparently I've been the subject of gossip lately. And not the good kind of gossip.

I watched all of Itazura na Kiss the past two weeks as well, and it quickly moved to the top ten favorite anime list of mine. It really is a pretty clever anime. And the second to last episode put me in a very romantic mood~

Music was Kataomoi Fighter from Itazura na Kiss, which is probably my favorite song from that anime. Fits my life pretty well. *glares at class and shakes head*

CHAPTER 5:

"Why don't they have any of the good Aly&AJ songs?" Ayame whined, glaring at the few songs that came up for when she searched for one of her favorite artists. "I wouldn't mind having Like Woah be my ringtone."

"How the hell did they manage to turn Out Of The Blue into a ringtone?" Sango snorted at the flickering screen.

"Don't ask me. That song should stay a song, all two-and-a-half minutes of it." Kagome sighed as she flipped through another screen. The cell phone industry had recently come out with the clever idea of turning any song, you name it, into a ringtone for you to purchase a dollar each. Like iTunes, except you weren't getting the whole song.

"Maybe I should try actually searching for Like Woah and see what comes up." Ayame pondered out loud.

"Clever thought." Sango sighed as she searched for Cascada. She recently fell in love with the artist. "Wow, they have Because The Night."

"No duh, that's one of her best ones. A good mix of piano and techno, it's definitely one of my favorites." Ayame pointed out, the immediate expert on all song writers.

"Wait…isn't that A Neverending Dream?" Kagome asked nonchalantly.

Ayame thought for a moment. "I thought it was both." She shrugged, typing in Kelly Clarkson into the machine.

"Hey I found I'm Blue by that one Disney band." Sango laughed as she pointed to the screen.

"Dear God, are you serious?" Kagome asked, holding back giggles.

"That sure brings back memories." Ayame snorted as she selected I Don't Hook Up.

"You're telling me." Sango smiled, moving onto movie soundtracks.

"So…Kagome, I hear you and Inuyasha had quite the interlude last week." Ayame smirked lightly.

Kagome's face reddened, but she shrugged it off. "It was nothing, he was just being chivalrous." She sighed, looking for Her Diamonds.

"Uh-huh, but normally when a guy tries to be chivalrous towards you you slap him and move along." Sango pointed out as she flipped her phone open.

"Like Kouga?" Ayame sighed upon speaking her beloved's name.

"Now Kouga did that without the slightest hint of anything! I was surprised, okay?" Kagome groaned, really sick of hearing about Kouga.

"Anyway. What did happen between Inuyasha and you?' Sango pushed on.

"Nothing, God!" Kagome snapped, clearly getting annoyed.

"Suuuuuuuure." Both Sango and Ayame smirked knowingly.

"Actually…" Kagome began as she found Her Diamonds and She Will Be Loved.

"Actually?" Sango and Ayame asked, surrounding Kagome immediately.

"No, never mind." Kagome smiled as she felt angry glares bear into her back.

"Tell…uuuuussssss…" Ayame hissed in her best tell-us-or-die voice.

"Oooh, look! They have Evanescence on here!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Kagome…" Ayame hissed again.

"Your creepy voice hasn't worked since 5th grade, Ayame." Sango sighed, about ready to give up.

"I heard something about Hojo and his new slut girlfriend. And it's not good." Ayame said nonchalantly.

Kagome was back in a second. "I had a dream about Inuyasha." She said.

"W-WHAT?!"


Your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just some things that time cannot erase

"God, I hate this song." Kouga growled in the backseat of Inuyasha's convertible.

"You hate any song that's sung by a girl." Inuyasha pointed out knowingly.

"But this chick really freaks me out. And her fucking songs make no fucking sense." Kouga growled.

"Nothing poetic makes sense to your tiny brain, ya damn wolf." Inuyasha snapped.

"Boys, boys…" Miroku warned.

"Shut up, monk!" both Inuyasha and Kouga growled. Miroku shut up.

"It's unbelievable, the way you treat Kagome." Kouga growled.

"I don't wanna hear another word about that fucking schoolgirl, got it? So shut it before I do it for you." Inuyasha warned.

Miroku sighed. Here we go again…

"She hasn't made eye contact with any of us for the past week, and it's your fault!" Kouga growled to the hanyou.

"Well don't blame me!" Inuyasha snapped.

"I BLAME YOU."

End of conversation…


"I'm so happy with my new ringtones!" Ayame giggled as she flipped through them. "Look! I got one from Viva La Vida by Coldplay." She hit play and the familiar violin tune filled the car.

"I actually like this song." Sango pointed out.

"Yeah, it's actually pretty good." Kagome agreed.

"The only problem with it is the lyrics…" Ayame sighed.

"But that's what makes the song stand out." Sango pointed out.

"They make no sense. What the hell is a 'rolling cavalry choir'?" Ayame asked.

Sango opened her mouth to say something, but Kagome interrupted her. "Forget it, a good song and explanation are wasted on Ayame."

Ayame sighed. "I bet Kouga understands it." She said dreamily.

"Don't be too sure." Sango smirked.

Everyone looked at her in interest. (Kagome through the front mirror since she was driving)

"Miroku told me that idiot's the most dense, thick-headed guy on the planet!" Sango laughed at the sweet memory.

"And when did Miroku tell you this?" Ayame asked slyly.

Sango's face reddened as she looked out the window.

Kagome smiled. At least some people's love lives were going well. Her face fell slightly at the memory of the previous night, where the second dream had occurred. She had woken up with a tear-streaked face and a smile, so said her little brother. It would make sense, it was somewhat a bitter-sweet dream anyway. A small smile formed upon the memory of being held in Inuyasha's strong, warm embrace…she had never felt more security in her life. She wanted to feel it all the time-

She shook her head. No, she didn't. Really. Didn't. She didn't care about men, they were all good-for-nothing bastards. God, what the hell was wrong with her?


I'm waiting for the night drifting away

On the waves of my dreams to another day

I'm standing on a hill and beyond the clouds

The winds blowing still and catching my doubts

I'm hunting on the night the slave to my dream an illustrated scene descends on the steam

We're playing for the fight's emotional games

I'm turning off my eyes and hiding my shame


Yeah sorry short chapter…I know, I know, but I have a one-shot I want to finish and stuff…but the next chapter will be the second dream~muwahahahahahahahah. Probably not as gushy romantic as the first, but still sweet. Are you intrigued? Yes. You should be.

The last little part was verse 1 of A Never-ending Dream by Cascada, one of my favs because the lyrics are beautiful. Plus, it fits everything quite well so far. I'm trying to integrate more songs into my stories, so beware! Muwahahahahahahah!

Wish me luck with school this week…and hope the gossip stops…

August out~
