Kagome got up earlier than her alarm clock this time so that she could get the rest of her stuff packed and ready to go. She was so psyched about this trip that she was practically jumping with excitement. She was extremely excited to be able to see her favorite band Lightning Fang, but most importantly the leader Inuyasha. Kagome grew to love his voice every single time she heard him sing, plus she was always up to date with his CD's and knew where his next tours would be. Of course she always hid it from Koga because he was always the jealous type, he knew that Lightning Fang were good but he wanted to be better than them. Koga always thought that Inuyasha was just a mutt. Koga, being a full wolf demon, didn't like anyone being better than him.
"This is going to be the best trip ever!" Kagome stated with excitement as she got all her stuff in her bags and walked out of her room. As she shut the door, Koga came out of his room with his stuff with a smile.
"Hey Kagome, ready for the big day?" Koga asked. Kagome smiled as she began to walk away from the door.
"Definitely! I'm so excited about this tour, I've been getting some music ready ever since two days ago." Kagome stated. Koga chuckled and walked with her down the hall. They reached the double doors of the hotel and started putting their stuff in their tour bus. Koga went back in to check his band out of the hotel so that they can get moving. As Koga came out he saw Kagome, Ginta, and Hikkaku all ready to go with smiles on their faces.
"Everyone ready?" Koga asked with a smirk playing across his lips.
"Hai!" Everyone shouted their excitement. Koga chuckled as he jumped in the bus into the driver's seat, turning on the bus. Kagome, Ginta, and Hikkaku got into the bus and sat down. Koga began to drive away from the hotel and head for the direction to Kyoto.
"So how far is Kyoto from Tokyo Koga?" Ginta asked. Koga thought about the map that he looked up last night.
"From what I saw on the map, it said it would take about 5 hours and 32 minutes to get there, but I guess that depends on traffic to." Koga stated.
"5 hours? What are we going to do during the 5 hours we are stuck in this bus?" Hikkaku asked with a bored expression. Koga rolled his eyes.
"What do you think Hikkaku?" Koga asked with a raised brow. Hikkaku began thinking about what they would do. Kagome chuckled at Hikkaku's slowness.
"We can always sing while we are heading over there or we can listen to music and sing a long with the lyrics." Kagome suggested. Ginta and Hikkaku went over to sit near Kagome as they watched her open her red laptop with black roses on it. She went to her iTunes to show what kind of music she had.
"That's a great idea Kagome. Let's all sing along to one of her songs." Koga stated. Kagome had an idea.
"We can play a game using music to if you guys want. I can play the beginning of a song and you guys would have to guess what the song is before it gets to the lyrics. If you can't guess it, then I'll let you listen to some of the lyrics before it gets to the chorus." Kagome suggested.
"That sounds fun too." Ginta stated with a smile.
"Let's play that after we sing some songs. I could use some practice with my voice." Hikkaku stated with a nervous grin. Ginta simply rolled his eyes with a sigh.
"Don't worry, I have some good songs on here that we could all sing together." Kagome stated to Ginta. Kagome looked through her music and found a song that she wanted to sing but decided to go to a different song for everyone to sing. When she found the song, Kagome pushed the play button.
Here I Go Again by Whitesnake
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been.
Hanging on the promises in the songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
Here I go again
Here I go again
Though I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on,
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity.
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I gooo
(Instrumental)
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
The song ended and everyone was having a good time as they sung along with other songs on their way to Kyoto. It was going to be a long drive and they were going to have fun on this 5 hour trip.
5 hours later
Kagome stretched as she stepped out of the bus.
"Ohhh! That felt like more than 5 hours, I'm glad to be out of this bus!" Kagome exclaimed as she got her bags and began going inside the hotel. Koga and the others followed as they stepped up to the desk. Koga stepped up to the woman behind the desk with a smile.
"I booked us four bedrooms for my band The Wolvez." He reminded the woman. The woman looked through her book and gave a nod, getting the keys to the bedrooms.
"Here you go guys. You will be upstairs in rooms 230-233." The woman said. Koga nodded as he took the keys from the woman.
"Thank you ma'am." He said as him and his band went to go to their rooms. Kagome took the room 230 key away from Koga and headed straight to her room.
"I call it!" She shouted as she unlocked the door and put her stuff in the room taking it all in. Koga rolled his eyes with a shake of his head. 'Kagome seems so excited to be here.' He thought with a smile. Koga went to his room in 233 to put his stuff in his room.
In Kagome's room, Kagome was hanging up her clothes in the closet. She got her Lightning Fang poster to stick to the wall by the television. She didn't want it to be easily spotted by Koga. She won't even let him in her room because of it, sometimes she would make up excuses to keep him out of her room. She sighed softly as she looked at the poster.
"Sorry Koga but Inuyasha's voice is better." She whispered to herself with a chuckle. 'I can't wait to meet him!'
Inuyasha was in the practice room looking through some music when Shippo came bursting through the doors. He had an excited expression on his face that made Inuyasha raise a brow of curiosity.
"Yo Inuyasha! Did you hear? Did ya?" He began asking. Inuyasha chuckled at Shippo's enthusiasm.
"Calm down Shippo. Now what's going on that has you so excited?" Inuyasha asked. Shippo took out a magazine from his back pocket and gave it to Inuyasha to read.
We have just got word that the band The Wolvez have arrived here in Kyoto for their world tour. They are number two on the top ten billboard list. People say that Koga, who is the lead singer has a wonderful voice, but no one can top the girl Kagome's voice. Koga stated that he was looking for a voice that even the angels would be jealous of and found Kagome. The amazing thing about Kagome is, is that she is the daughter of the legendary Soji Higurashi who had died three years ago in a car accident. Kagome is keeping her father's dream alive, he lives on through his daughter's music.
Inuyasha had wide eyes in surprise when he got through reading. 'So the paparazzi have found out that much huh? It's no surprise, they always have ways to find juicy dirt on people. They can be so annoying to.' He thought to himself.
"I hope we get to meet them one day. I've been dying to talk to Kagome in person." Shippo stated. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Just don't get Koga mad. From what I read, Kagome and Koga are a couple. Koga is a wolf demon so he will be territorial." Inuyasha warned. Shippo frowned.
"I thought that only happens when you're mated." Shippo stated. Inuyasha nodded.
"It's true that demons and half demons would be more territorial when they are mated, but demons like Koga tend to not want any other male around the female. Well with the exception of Ginta and Hikkaku who are in his band. As long as they don't show affection towards her, then they're fine." Inuyasha explained. For some reason Shippo had a bad feeling about Koga, he wasn't quite sure why though. Inuyasha could see the worry in Shippo's eyes.
"What's wrong Shippo?" Inuyasha asked. Shippo crossed his arms with a slight glare.
"I don't know. For some reason I have a bad feeling about Koga. I'm feeling some bad vibes about Koga, so I'm just a little worried about Kagome." Shippo stated. Inuyasha gave a soft chuckle.
"I'm sure you're just imagining things Shippo. You worry too much." Inuyasha said. Shippo simply shrugged.
"I can't help it, it's how I am." Shippo said. Inuyasha chuckled as he began setting everything up in the practice room.
"Where are Sango and Miroku?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh you know how those two are. They go out to eat lunch or dinner and Sango says that it's not a date. You and I both know that Sango likes him despite his perverted ways." Shippo stated.
"I agree with you there Shippo. Miroku is out in the open as opposed to Sango who likes to try and hide her feelings. She's definitely a stubborn woman." Inuyasha said.
"I can't wait till the concert. We're definitely going to kill it out there." Shippo said with a smile. Inuyasha smirked giving Shippo a fist bump.
"Of course we are. How else did we become number one?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically. Shippo chuckled as he leaned against the wall.
Both Shippo and Inuyasha looked towards the door as it opened, revealing Sango and Miroku coming into the practice room laughing about whatever was said. Shippo and Inuyasha raised their brows in curiosity.
"Soo... how was the date?" Inuyasha asked teasingly. Sango blushed bright red. Miroku chuckled.
"It wasn't a date Inuyasha!" Sango told him. Shippo rolled his eyes.
"Sure it wasn't." Shippo stated as he went over to his keyboard.
"I'm telling you guys, it wasn't a date!" Sango said with aggravation.
"Sure Sango, we believe you one hundred percent." Inuyasha said sarcastically as he got in front of the mic with his guitar ready. Miroku and Sango did the same as Sango got her bass guitar ready and Miroku was at the drums.
"Shippo, I'm going to need your help with this song. Care to be a part of the vocal with me?" Inuyasha asked. Shippo smiled.
"Hell yeah!" Shippo shouted with excitement. Inuyasha raised a brow, but chuckled nonetheless.
Burn It Down by Linkin Park
Inuyasha/Shippo/Both
The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find.
And you were there at the turn waiting to let me know
We're building it up!
To break it back down!
We're building it up, to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground.
The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this, but couldn't stop from tearing it down.
And you were there at the turn caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn waiting to let you know
We're building it up!
To break it back down!
We're building it up, to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
You told me yes, You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie.
I played soldier, you played king
Struck me down when I kissed that ring.
You lost that right to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down.
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn.
And you were there at the turn waiting to let me know
We're building it up!
To break it back down!
We're building it up, to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground.
When you fall I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
When you fall I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
As the song ended, they all high fived each other for a job well done. Inuyasha was very proud of Shippo for doing a great job with the keyboard and vocals. He could tell that Shippo has been practicing a lot.
"Awesome job Shippo, that was amazing!" Inuyasha exclaimed with a proud smile. Shippo smiled with a cross of his arms.
"I've been practicing a lot to do better with playing my keyboard and singing at the same time." Shippo stated rather smugly. He was very proud of himself.
"Great job Shippo." Sango said as she gave him a hug. Miroku patted his shoulder with a proud smile.
"Well, now that practice is over, why don't we all hang out somewhere?" Inuyasha asked. Everyone nodded.
"There's an awesome club that I always wanted to go to." Sango stated suggestively. Inuyasha looked at the other two for approval. Miroku nodded and Shippo simply shrugged.
"Okay then, let's go." Inuyasha said as everyone began to head out.
