InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harmony Parking Lot ❯ NO TRESPASSING! Waltz ( Chapter 2 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
I Updated this chapter making thorough corrections...at least from what I could tell, but alas so is the curse of being a writer there is always something you find wrong...any who I got a little over zealous when I first uploaded this chapter...I didn’t even make a run through to edit...it was three in the morning and I was excited to put it up, but here it is the revised and more coherent chapter. ^^
I woke up with the worse hangover of my life. It didn’t help that a bust had occurred across the streets and the cop cars decided to park right below my window. I felt sorry for whatever bastard the fuzz was trying to crack down upon. However the bust across the street didn’t stop me from whipping out a pipe and lighting up. The head ache was slightly relieved thanks to the wonders of pot. I don’t give a fuck what anyone else thinks, but pot is a great healer. I then felt a twist in my stomach and fuck I ran as fast as I could to the toilet and emptied the entire contents of my stomach.
As I pulled my head out of the toilet and fell to the side I felt relief wash over me. I laid on my side and drifted back to sleep my arms still hugging the toilet. I awoke when I heard Miroku barge into the bathroom.
“So how is your date with the toilet?” Miroku smirked sitting down on the rim of the bathtub.
“You don’t have to yell...asshole.” I groaned...wishing the world was like a silent film minus the background music. Miroku shook his head and patted me on the back making vomit rise up into my mouth. I put my head back into the toilet and Miroku just laughed and went back out.
I stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep the hangover off.

“Kagome!”
“Mom please...I’ll be awake in a few more minutes..” Kagome mumbled trying to fall back asleep.
“Kagome wake up and pay attention!” Kagome’s eyes fluttered open and she realized that she wasn’t in her bed at all, but had fallen asleep on her desk in calculus.
“Sorry...I had a lot of homework last night on top of work.” Kagome whispered slightly ashamed.
“So did many other students and you do not see the determined falling asleep. So please if you find my class so boring that you need to sleep than you can escort yourself to the principles office.”
“Yes Mr. Mish, I won’t let it happen again.” Kagome resituated herself and tried hard to pay attention.
When the bell rang for lunch Kagome hurried to get out of the dingy classroom. She went to her and Sango’s locker and saw her friend was already waiting for her.
“Hey Sango!” Kagome waved.
“Hey Kagome...” Sango replied meekly. Something was wrong usually her friend was always in good spirits and hated showing any emotion in public.
“Sango what is the matter?” Kagome asked as she came up besides her friend.
“I got kicked out...that's why I wasn’t in first period today...I was packing up my shit.” Sango looked down at the ground.
“What happened Sango?” Kagome asked pulling her out into the courtyard into their spot that was far from the other tables.
“My dad found my stash...and that was the last straw. He said I was a disappointment to him and that he would rather think of me as his little daughter who died than to face what I’ve become. When he asked why I was home so late on Friday and told him about that psycho...he just acted like he didn’t even hear me. It’s bullshit...” Sango’s words trailed off as tears developed.
“Oh Sango!” Kagome pulled her friend into a bear hug. The rest of the group started to come over with their food and hurried over when they saw that Sango was down.
“What the hell is wrong with Sango?” A relatively tall guy with long bangs and a black Mohawk asked with a deep concerned face.
“Hey Kouga...Sango’s dad kicked her out.” Kagome said over her distressed friend’s shoulder.
“What a fucker it’s alright Sango, hey you have us to rely on.” A kid named Skunk said as Sang unburied her face from Kagome’s shoulder and wiped the tears away. By then everyone was at the table; there was Skunk, a tall kid with a long black hair with a strip of red down the middle and really skinny. Then there was Hojo, who was part of a rockabilly, ska scene and wore checkered suspenders with his red flannel skinny jeans with a regular t-shirt and hat slightly tilted, and of course Kouga who was mentioned before
“You can stay with me. After all my parents love you.” Kagome smiled rubbing Sango’s back.
“Thanks Kagome, but I don't want to intrude.” Her friend smiled.
"Sango you live at my house pretty much already." Kagome laughed.
The rest of the lunch period was spent talking about more lighter subjects such as; an argument over GG Allin half of the group considered his music to be filth and lacking artistic value, while the other half said that he was making music that was purposely meant to blow peoples minds and offend and within his antics he was indeed an artist to some extent. That argument ended when Sango got upset at one of Hojo's points and began speak singing "Don't Talk to Me" one of her favorite GG Allin songs. Then there was a few laughs thrown in between and talk over the previous weekend events.
“So what the hell were guys doing last Friday?” Kagome asked accusingly at Skunk, Hojo, and Kouga.
“Zombie fest was Friday. It was fun but not as good as last years.” Kouga replied.
“Well if you guys had gone to the Wind Tunnel than maybe I wouldn’t have wound up in a trunk!” Sango bursted.
“God Sango what sick freak did you hook up with this time.” Skunk rolled his eyes.
“None...he just threw me in there while he tried to get after Kagome, but this guy who is living with Miroku who went to Kagome’s rescue...he was totally making the moves on Kagome.” Sango nudged her friend while the color was flushed from Kouga’s face.
“Sango...do we really have to talk about that...I could have handled it.” Kagome said looking past her friends.
“Are you alright Kagome! Who is this guy that is living with Miroku?” Kouga interrupted.
“She’s fine Kouga. Anyway it is some guy named Inuyasha he was pretty cute and only three years older....oh but don’t worry Kouga you still have a shot with Kagome.” Sango said as if Kagome wasn’t even sitting right next to her let alone in the same proximity. Kagome blushed and Kouga’s color returned making him gain some confidence as he moved closer to Kagome.
“Uh guys we should probably go inside.” Hojo said holding out his hand as a rain drop fell. As everyone’s attention turned towards him thunder clouds started to roll in and not even a few minutes later the sunny sky had turned into a gray downpour. Everyone ran inside and had made it just in time for the bell to ring.

The rest of the school day was full of agonizing boredom. But as soon as freedom rang excitement rushed through Kagome’s body. She found Sango with her stuff by the locker and the two took off to Kagome’s house.
“Hey Mom?” Kagome yelled as she took out the key from the door.
“I’m in the kitchen Kagome.” Her Mom replied.
When the two girls went into the kitchen, Kagome’s mother greeted them both with a hug. Sango and Kagome had been best friends since they were kids. Sango’s mother died when she was very young and her father did what he could, but the death of his wife and raising a rambunctious little girl was hard for him so Kagome’s mother always made sure to treat Sango as one of her own. Besides Sango’s father had drowned all his sorrows into the bottle and work leaving hardly anytime for Sango or her younger brother Kohaku
“So girls how was school? Kagome how is your grade coming along in calculus?” Her mother asked with her warm smile.
“Well school was alright I have a B in calculus...but Mom...I have to ask you a really important favor.” Kagome said hesitating a little.
“What’s wrong honey?” Her mom said with concern.
“Well, Sango’s dad kicked her out....can she stay with us?” Kagome took a deep breath and Sango looked off in the distant both girls worried about what the answer would be.
“Oh that brute why on earth did he kick you out!” Her mother lashed.
“He said I was a disappointment....and that he would rather remember me from when I was a kid than how I am now.” Sango said trying to keep the tears from falling. Kagome’s mom just opened her arms and gave the young girl a hug comforting her the way only mothers can.
“Oh Sango...your dad just doesn’t understand you. Of course you can stay here you are always welcome.” Sango let out a sniffle and then wiped away the tears.
“Thank you.” Sango smiled still wiping the tears from her face and Kagome’s mother just nodded and went back to cooking.
The girls went upstairs to Kagome’s room and Sango sat her bag by the cot that was always set up for when she would stay with them.
“Kagome I want to thank you again for letting me live here with you my only other option would have been moving in with Miroku...and I don’t think I could handle having him hit on me day and night.” Sango giggled.
“I know god. He is a great friend, but wow he is a serious pervert.” Kagome added.
“But how about that knew roommate of his.” Sango said grinning.
“He is cute...but...say Sango...this is going to sound weird, but you know when we were captured did you see anything strange about Inuyasha?” Kagome asked her words sounding unsure.
“Strange?” Sango raised an eyebrow at her friend.
“You know changing eye color...furry ears on top of his head?”
“No...but I was in the trunk of a car remember...what do you mean furry ears?” Sango had a complex look on her face.
“Well like dog ears...I know it sounds weird maybe I just drank too much.” Kagome quickly shooed the thought away and waved her friend to forget the matter.

“So Inuyasha how are you feeling now that you are fully awake?” Miroku asked while I lit up a cigarette.
“Feh...alright I guess.” I said inhaling the nicotine and then slowly letting the smoke escape my lips.
“Miroku what the hell do you do when you don’t work downstairs?” A question I asked just to keep me entertained...what his answer was didn’t really matter, but hell I was getting tired of sitting up here trying to get rid of the hangover.
“I used to have a band, but my guitarist fucking quit and decided to go to college and I don't know it went down from there.” Miroku sighed.
“Yeah man I know how that goes, back before I decided to move around I played with a ska band and man having eight kids trying to make it to practice and have no one get pissed off at each other was the hardest fucking thing.”
“Really fuck man ska is hard shit. What did you play?”
“Guitar and vocals. What about you Miroku?”
“Rhythm guitar and vocals...haha what do you know. If you want man we can go jam downstairs. I always have my gear set up.” Miroku didn’t even leave the decision up to me he took me by the arm and down we went. I was in awe as I saw him pick up a Pete Dee Signature Shecter guitar.
“Dude...how did you score that!” I said looking at the beautiful body work.
“Ha I got some friends.” That Miroku always being mysterious and leaving you to put the pieces together.
I walked up the steps onto the stage and picked up a Les Paul Epiphone. Which was heavy as fuck. Jeeze there is a reason I didn’t buy one they have a beautiful sound, but man the weight will give your shoulders such an ache after playing it for a full set.
The jam session actually went well, Miroku knew most of what I played and if he didn’t he could catch on after a short run through. We played songs like ‘Meltdown’ by Citizen Fish, ‘Yelling in My Ear’ by Operation Ivy and even ‘Life is Pain’ by Leftover Crack plus a few others. We played for hours and it felt great having a guitar in my hands again. One of the things I regret about when I left home was leaving my ‘baby’ sitting in my room to never be touched by me again. Oh god was she beautiful too her black finish shined and the clarity of her sound...she played had edge on her too. The distortion that would run through her oh fuck...I wish that I could get her back.
The jam session had worn me out, but damn I was glad for it. Playing that guitar had reminded me how much I missed playing and how much I had missed being in a band. I sat over by the bar wiping the sweat off of my forehead.
"So Inuyasha, you are a really good musician." Miroku said chugging a glass of water.
"Thanks, what are you getting at Miroku?" Enough pussy footing around if you want me in a band just say it.
"Well I'm looking for someone to take over guitar and shit, and I thought you would maybe take up that position." Miroku smirked.
"You are perfectly capable of it aren't you?" I looked over at Miroku with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, but hell I prefer the singing more you know." I didn't touch it I just said alright and that was the end of it Miroku got on his phone and talked to a guy named "Skunk" and some other people and set it all up.
The week ran on blustering and raining like a bitch, but Miroku's project had turned out surprisingly alright, but there was one asshole thrown in to the mix and his name was Kouga...he was an idiot and sure he could drum, but that wasn't much of a feat. There was just something about this guy that drove me fucking crazy. I wanted to bash him over the head with an amp. Everyone else seemed alright, the one called Skunk was pretty rowdy and had a great feel for the bass. He was great to bullshit with too. Then there was just one trumpet player to give the band a little bit of a different feel and he was named Hojo...but I called him Hoagie...his name reminded me of the fucking food and he was strangely polite.
Our first show was Saturday night and fuck I was ready to shred, Miroku said that Sango and Kagome both would be in attendance. Who doesn't love a musician this would get Kagome's attention...I would have her liking me in no time at all. This town really wasn't so bad...I hadn't been in a group like this since I was sixteen. This place had a different feel from the other places and by the time I was done with it, it was going to be turned into ruins.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kagome what time did Miroku say to be there?" Sango asked piling through her clothes.
"Six." Kagome said applying the last bit of eyeliner to her right eye, "So Sango how do I look?"
"Wow Kagome, I'm surprised at you getting so dressed up." Her friend remarked looking at her Germs shirt altered to fit a girl and her black pants with chains coming off. She even put on her jacket which was a real rarity these days.
"I know...I just..."
"You want to impress Inuyasha or Kouga right...can't choose can you." Sango laughed.
"NO! I don't know Inuyasha and Kouga is like a brother...I just hadn't worn this outfit in a while." Kagome said crossing her arms.
"Riight I believe you...not!"
“Oh yeah Sango, what about Miroku we both know you love that pervert!” Kagome stuck her tongue out jestingly. Sango gave her friend a glare and then threw a pillow at her in which Kagome retaliated and threw one of her stuffed animals.
The girls finished getting ready and went over to the car that Kagome’s parents had actually let her borrow. Kagome blasted Against All Authority with the windows rolled down and really blasted it when the song All Ages Show Tonight came on. Sango and Kagome both sang at the top of their lungs and Sango threw her fist outside the window. Cars drove by disapprovingly but when a person started yelling at Sango at a red light, Sango threatened their life as she took out a pair of brass knuckles and the car sped off before the light had even changed to green nearly hitting an oncoming truck.
They pulled into the parking lot behind the Wind Tunnel building and arm in arm they went on their way to the front. There was the usual big line waiting outside but they pushed through and came to the front, when a new comer had tried to protest she was told to shut up by one of the other regulars.
They were the first ones in outside of the bands. Miroku was testing the microphone when he saw the two girls enter. He jumped off the stage and was followed by Hojo, Skunk, and Kouga.
“Hey Kagome here to see me play.” Kouga said his ego beginning to fill the room.
“Yeah I’m glad that you Skunk, Miroku, and Hojo are all back in a band together, but I really want to see how Inuyasha does!” Kagome said excitedly. Ego now departing in 3...2...1.
“Kagome...please I have been in a band with him for a week and he isn’t all that great.” Kouga snorted.
“Inuyasha is probably one of the best guitar players I have ever met!” Miroku smiled not hearing what Kouga had previously said, “In fact Kagome, you should go talk to him he just got done tuning his guitar.” Miroku sent his dashing smile and scooted his friend over in the direction of the stage which Inuyasha was occupying.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
There she is! Fuck she is coming towards me...oh fuck...ugh...make conversation you idiot!
“Hey...” I leaned back against an amp, but it slowly skid backwards nearly sending me off of my feet. Real smooth retard.
“Hi...so you are playing with Miroku huh...he says you are a really good guitar player.” She smiled...man that smile.
“Yeah...well I had a lot of time to kill as a kid. Guitar was just something to pass the time by.” Why was I acting so weird...god damn it man keep it together!
“Yeah...I know how that is. Singing was a lot like that for me too, and Skunk has really helped me come along a great deal with bass.” I couldn’t believe it she sings and plays bass too...stop the search I found my girl.
“Why don’t you start a band?”
“I don’t know it is hard being a fucking girl trying to be in a band let alone a punk band.” She sighed.
“Ha I’ve seen it happen. Ever heard of Vice Squad, Distillers, or Tsunami Bomb.”
“Yeah, yeah, but they are the lucky ones. Most people around here are already in bands or don’t like having chicks in the band, too much drama not that I blame them.” She let out a laugh.
“I would be in a band with you.” She let out a blush and propped herself onto the stage letting her feet dangle off of it and I sat down next to her. I was almost there I could feel it.
“Hey Kagome! Come take a shot with me before we get on stage!” Kouga shouted by the stairs. Kagome then acknowledged her friend and jumped off and went over to Kouga...of course he had to ruin the perfect opportunity...fucking bastard.
I picked up my guitar and messed around with it making sure it was in tune and also nothing was happening yet so it gave me something to do. Miroku gave a nod at the guy holding up the door and he replied by opening the door in which a swarm of people pushed their way through just like they had done the first concert I saw here.
I watched Miroku round up Skunk, Hoagie, and fuck face and headed towards his position on stage. People had already staked out spots in front, this was the biggest crowd I think I’ve ever played too. The feeling was indescribable, but I was a little nerve racked not seeing Kagome down here. I scanned the crowd, but couldn’t find her anywhere. I suppose she is upstairs.
When it came time for my solo and I took my attention off of the crowd I noticed long raven hair right in front of me. It was her alright with Sango right by. Both of them throwing up their fists and making rounds in the pit. She always pushed her way back up to the front, right below me. I couldn’t help but smirk a little when I saw her. She never left either she remained stirring up people and singing along to the songs that Miroku had written. Sango had made her way over into Miroku’s view, but I didn’t pay much attention to them or anyone else other than my two girls...well one I was renting from Miroku(a.k.a the guitar) and the one that was going to be my girlfriend. But right now I realized that if I concentrated to much on Kagome, I would end up fucking up the guitar licks.
Once our set was done I jumped off and went over to Kagome who was only a few feet from the stage.
“Wow Inuyasha that was great!”
“Thanks Kagome want to go get a drink and celebrate a night that I didn’t fuck up on a song.” I smirked putting my arm around her and guiding her to the bar. She was blushing the whole way and I could sense her beginning to grow warm towards me...it was like seeing her mind slowly unfold.
Right when we started to cheers and shoot down whiskey a commotion began by the door. Kagome and I both got up and looked over the railing to see Miroku talking to the police. Miroku looked calm, but like always the fucking copper had a face of discontent and sick pleasure.
“Kagome wait here.” I warned her.
“What do you mean? Fuck, Inuyasha why is there a cop here?” Kagome asked peering down as another cop dragged a guy out while another one tazered a kid. More cops stepped in grabbing a hold of a bunch of people who seemed to just want to know what was going on rather than cause a scene.
“It’s going to get ugly, I think a raid is in progress just trust me get Sango and go out the back way. If nothing happens I will find a way to tell you.” I pushed her towards the exist against her protest and went over to Miroku, Skunk, and Kouga. Hoagie I saw was upstairs telling the minors to get out of the bar and try and leave. This was serious.
“You see we have reason to believe that underage drinking has been taking place at your venue sir.” A bald and smirking cop said.
“Sir please, we have a very strict policy that there are to be no minors admitted upstairs that is why we have two body guards at the bottom of the stairs.” Miroku said point to the body guards remaining at their post.
“Well we are just going to have a look around.” One grinned.
“On what grounds speculation? Do you have a warrant?” Miroku protested.
“You fucking punks as you call yourselves should grow up.”
“What right do you have to attack us with your failed system!” Skunk roared, “You and all the fucking brain dead politicians call these cracks in the system a “revolution” but to the Vanguard Party that’s criticizing: what have you been up to the Soviet Union!”
“Look Tom we have ourselves another deadbeat who thinks he knows how the world works.” The cop’s face grew into a full blown smile that sent the message of fucking someone over.
“Oi! cut that bullshit! I work my ass off! I go to school and work over time at a shipyard! And at least I make an honest living that is more than you can say piggy!” The cop just looked to his friend and than punched Skunk across the face. Skunk did all he could to resist putting the cop in his place. I could see the fire burning inside him and he had the brains to know that the cops were trying to get him to react to be able to throw the book back in his face for assaulting an officer. Boy did the cop want Skunk to throw a punch. The cop picked him up and threw him across the table.
“Look officer there is no evidence of underage drinking and I will make sure that security around here gets tighter and I will close up shop for the night. Now you guys can get out of here and let the kids enjoy the rest of their night without getting into anymore trouble.” Miroku said stepping in as soon as he saw Skunk go flying.
“Fine...” The cop replied and sent out the call to get the other officers to back off and left.
“Fuck! What the hell! I had my run ins with cops, but fuck I have never seen something like that. We can get their badges for this shit!”
“No...Inuyasha we really can’t.” Miroku said shaking his head as he walked over to Skunk and picked him up off of the ground.
“What do you mean we can’t!”
“This town has one of the most corrupt law enforcement and judicial systems in this blasted nation.” Of course there was a catch to being here. Fuck...those cops I wouldn’t mind putting out of this worlds misery.
“So where is Kouga and Hoagie?”
“Hojo and Kouga went with the girls I told them to take Sango and Kagome upstairs.” Miroku said walking Skunk over to the venue’s fridge to get ice. Shit...that fucker is alone with my Kagome! I went over to the elevator and in the living room Kagome and Sango sat silently. While Hoagie and Kouga sat on the other couch.
“Inuyasha what the hell happened!” Kagome yelled as soon as the elevator doors opened.
“Cops came and Skunk got caught up in it. One of the cops threw him and I think he may have hurt his ankle. They are getting wise to the underage drinking.” I said sitting next to Kagome.
“No, they aren’t getting wise to jack shit. They do that to every venue that has ever opened in town...you see they’re all about intimidation and only barge into venues that has an income...and since they are pigs and have no respect for us nor for the most part we them, they try to walk all over us and once someone gets nervous they end up cutting a deal.” Hoagie said leaning back on the coach.
“Fucking greedy mother fuckers.” Kouga mumbled.
Miroku and Skunk came upstairs shortly. The look on their faces was rage fused with hopelessness.
“You know what lets go out!” Kagome shouted.
“What do you mean go out?” I asked looking over at the sweet face who had broken the silence.
“I mean let’s go and wonder around town and step into the bar down the way and get shitty drunk. No better time for a drink than when you nearly get busted right!” She smiled.
“Kagome what about your parents?” Sango asked looking at her friend in awe. She would never suggest something this risky especially not when she had her parents car in her possession.
“I told them before we left we would probably stay the night here. It’s a good thing my parents don’t know you as well as Sango and I do.” Kagome winked at Miroku.
“Your parents love me, I was their best next door neighbor!” Miroku said acting dignified.
“Yeah, right. They just didn’t know your perverted little ways. Using your binoculars to try and get a peep show!”
“Shut up Kagome...besides I was ten and was playing army man!” Miroku nudged Kagome. I got up and headed towards the elevator to take me back downstairs.
“So are we going or are we just going to discuss how perverted Miroku is...you sick fuck.” I laughed.
“Kagome, we should just stay here. I don’t want to see anything happen to you especially if we run into anymore cops.” Kouga said pulling back on her arm. Kouga was one paranoid kid...he really needs to take the pine tree branch out of his ass.
“Kouga you’re so sweet...you are like the older brother I never had.” She gave her friend a hug. I gave a little smirk looks like someone is stuck in the doghouse.
We went to the bar and didn’t leave until the owner had to come over and threaten to kick us out. I managed to get a bottle of whiskey out of the deal. The rain was coming down into a pleasant drizzle and everyone was stumbling as we walked around. We wandered through a thousand alleyways and parking lots until we came to a gated off section of one particular parking lot.
“Come on guys!” Sango said climbing over the fence and could barely make it over if Miroku hadn’t lent her a hand.
“Yeah come on!” Kagome followed her friend. I joined in along with Miroku.
“Hoagie, Skunk get your asses over here!” I yelled.
“Oh come on guys how juvenile can we get. It says no trespassing.” Kouga protested not realizing the last two had made it over. He then let out a defeated sigh and pulled himself over the silver fence.
“Hey Inuyasha come here.” Kagome said opening her arms and beckoning me with her fingers. I followed her instruction dumbly unable to think...my heart beating out of my chest and the bottle of jack still being gripped in my right hand. When I reached her she let out a laugh and started to dance like there was music playing in the wind. I put my arm around her and started to join in. Everyone was laughing and beginning to dance along and sing various drinking songs...that is except Kouga who just hung out in the background watching everyone making fools of themselves.
Kagome was really different than any girl in this whole condemned world. She had two sides, but they were always shown ; the innocent Kagome was just as present as the wild and raw filled Kagome.
“You know, Inuyasha don’t think I have forgotten about your ears.” Kagome slurred into a whisper. It sent me into dumbfounded look. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell your little secret. I think they are cute.”
The rough and rumble dancing from before had turned into a waltz between Kagome and I. She put her head on my shoulder and I felt a huge drop land on my forehead. Then it began to come down into a steady pour, but it didn’t slow any of us down. I looked over to Sango and her and Miroku had even started to laugh and mess around. Meanwhile Skunk and Hoagie were just making asses of themselves as they messed with Kouga who sat moping in the rain.
“Inuyasha...” Kagome said looking up at me.
“What?”
“Why do you hide your ears?” She asked putting her hand to the spot on top of my head where my ears would be if I hadn’t hidden them.
“Some monsters shouldn’t be known to the world. I rather fuck things up as a human than...well what does it matter.” I smiled down at her.
“Well I don’t think your any more of a monster than I am. Besides who says it is a bad thing to fuck things up. If I could I would set this whole world ablaze and watch as all the politicians and evil people perished.” Kagome was hammered.
“You know Kagome I’d take the beauty of chaos over anyone else’s ugly perfection.” She looked back up at me. She is mine...no one else’s and I won’t let anything happen to her. I won’t let anyone get in her way. This is it. Kagome all of a sudden stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her fingers in my head and pressed her lips against mine. Kagome...I embraced her tighter and felt her lips part a little. I moved my tongue into her mouth and felt the rush of warmth fall through me. Fuck...I finally found someone who wasn’t a psychopath and I was acting like a fucking little kid about it...
I woke up with the worse hangover of my life. It didn’t help that a bust had occurred across the streets and the cop cars decided to park right below my window. I felt sorry for whatever bastard the fuzz was trying to crack down upon. However the bust across the street didn’t stop me from whipping out a pipe and lighting up. The head ache was slightly relieved thanks to the wonders of pot. I don’t give a fuck what anyone else thinks, but pot is a great healer. I then felt a twist in my stomach and fuck I ran as fast as I could to the toilet and emptied the entire contents of my stomach.
As I pulled my head out of the toilet and fell to the side I felt relief wash over me. I laid on my side and drifted back to sleep my arms still hugging the toilet. I awoke when I heard Miroku barge into the bathroom.
“So how is your date with the toilet?” Miroku smirked sitting down on the rim of the bathtub.
“You don’t have to yell...asshole.” I groaned...wishing the world was like a silent film minus the background music. Miroku shook his head and patted me on the back making vomit rise up into my mouth. I put my head back into the toilet and Miroku just laughed and went back out.
I stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep the hangover off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“Kagome!”
“Mom please...I’ll be awake in a few more minutes..” Kagome mumbled trying to fall back asleep.
“Kagome wake up and pay attention!” Kagome’s eyes fluttered open and she realized that she wasn’t in her bed at all, but had fallen asleep on her desk in calculus.
“Sorry...I had a lot of homework last night on top of work.” Kagome whispered slightly ashamed.
“So did many other students and you do not see the determined falling asleep. So please if you find my class so boring that you need to sleep than you can escort yourself to the principles office.”
“Yes Mr. Mish, I won’t let it happen again.” Kagome resituated herself and tried hard to pay attention.
When the bell rang for lunch Kagome hurried to get out of the dingy classroom. She went to her and Sango’s locker and saw her friend was already waiting for her.
“Hey Sango!” Kagome waved.
“Hey Kagome...” Sango replied meekly. Something was wrong usually her friend was always in good spirits and hated showing any emotion in public.
“Sango what is the matter?” Kagome asked as she came up besides her friend.
“I got kicked out...that's why I wasn’t in first period today...I was packing up my shit.” Sango looked down at the ground.
“What happened Sango?” Kagome asked pulling her out into the courtyard into their spot that was far from the other tables.
“My dad found my stash...and that was the last straw. He said I was a disappointment to him and that he would rather think of me as his little daughter who died than to face what I’ve become. When he asked why I was home so late on Friday and told him about that psycho...he just acted like he didn’t even hear me. It’s bullshit...” Sango’s words trailed off as tears developed.
“Oh Sango!” Kagome pulled her friend into a bear hug. The rest of the group started to come over with their food and hurried over when they saw that Sango was down.
“What the hell is wrong with Sango?” A relatively tall guy with long bangs and a black Mohawk asked with a deep concerned face.
“Hey Kouga...Sango’s dad kicked her out.” Kagome said over her distressed friend’s shoulder.
“What a fucker it’s alright Sango, hey you have us to rely on.” A kid named Skunk said as Sang unburied her face from Kagome’s shoulder and wiped the tears away. By then everyone was at the table; there was Skunk, a tall kid with a long black hair with a strip of red down the middle and really skinny. Then there was Hojo, who was part of a rockabilly, ska scene and wore checkered suspenders with his red flannel skinny jeans with a regular t-shirt and hat slightly tilted, and of course Kouga who was mentioned before
“You can stay with me. After all my parents love you.” Kagome smiled rubbing Sango’s back.
“Thanks Kagome, but I don't want to intrude.” Her friend smiled.
"Sango you live at my house pretty much already." Kagome laughed.
The rest of the lunch period was spent talking about more lighter subjects such as; an argument over GG Allin half of the group considered his music to be filth and lacking artistic value, while the other half said that he was making music that was purposely meant to blow peoples minds and offend and within his antics he was indeed an artist to some extent. That argument ended when Sango got upset at one of Hojo's points and began speak singing "Don't Talk to Me" one of her favorite GG Allin songs. Then there was a few laughs thrown in between and talk over the previous weekend events.
“So what the hell were guys doing last Friday?” Kagome asked accusingly at Skunk, Hojo, and Kouga.
“Zombie fest was Friday. It was fun but not as good as last years.” Kouga replied.
“Well if you guys had gone to the Wind Tunnel than maybe I wouldn’t have wound up in a trunk!” Sango bursted.
“God Sango what sick freak did you hook up with this time.” Skunk rolled his eyes.
“None...he just threw me in there while he tried to get after Kagome, but this guy who is living with Miroku who went to Kagome’s rescue...he was totally making the moves on Kagome.” Sango nudged her friend while the color was flushed from Kouga’s face.
“Sango...do we really have to talk about that...I could have handled it.” Kagome said looking past her friends.
“Are you alright Kagome! Who is this guy that is living with Miroku?” Kouga interrupted.
“She’s fine Kouga. Anyway it is some guy named Inuyasha he was pretty cute and only three years older....oh but don’t worry Kouga you still have a shot with Kagome.” Sango said as if Kagome wasn’t even sitting right next to her let alone in the same proximity. Kagome blushed and Kouga’s color returned making him gain some confidence as he moved closer to Kagome.
“Uh guys we should probably go inside.” Hojo said holding out his hand as a rain drop fell. As everyone’s attention turned towards him thunder clouds started to roll in and not even a few minutes later the sunny sky had turned into a gray downpour. Everyone ran inside and had made it just in time for the bell to ring.

The rest of the school day was full of agonizing boredom. But as soon as freedom rang excitement rushed through Kagome’s body. She found Sango with her stuff by the locker and the two took off to Kagome’s house.
“Hey Mom?” Kagome yelled as she took out the key from the door.
“I’m in the kitchen Kagome.” Her Mom replied.
When the two girls went into the kitchen, Kagome’s mother greeted them both with a hug. Sango and Kagome had been best friends since they were kids. Sango’s mother died when she was very young and her father did what he could, but the death of his wife and raising a rambunctious little girl was hard for him so Kagome’s mother always made sure to treat Sango as one of her own. Besides Sango’s father had drowned all his sorrows into the bottle and work leaving hardly anytime for Sango or her younger brother Kohaku
“So girls how was school? Kagome how is your grade coming along in calculus?” Her mother asked with her warm smile.
“Well school was alright I have a B in calculus...but Mom...I have to ask you a really important favor.” Kagome said hesitating a little.
“What’s wrong honey?” Her mom said with concern.
“Well, Sango’s dad kicked her out....can she stay with us?” Kagome took a deep breath and Sango looked off in the distant both girls worried about what the answer would be.
“Oh that brute why on earth did he kick you out!” Her mother lashed.
“He said I was a disappointment....and that he would rather remember me from when I was a kid than how I am now.” Sango said trying to keep the tears from falling. Kagome’s mom just opened her arms and gave the young girl a hug comforting her the way only mothers can.
“Oh Sango...your dad just doesn’t understand you. Of course you can stay here you are always welcome.” Sango let out a sniffle and then wiped away the tears.
“Thank you.” Sango smiled still wiping the tears from her face and Kagome’s mother just nodded and went back to cooking.
The girls went upstairs to Kagome’s room and Sango sat her bag by the cot that was always set up for when she would stay with them.
“Kagome I want to thank you again for letting me live here with you my only other option would have been moving in with Miroku...and I don’t think I could handle having him hit on me day and night.” Sango giggled.
“I know god. He is a great friend, but wow he is a serious pervert.” Kagome added.
“But how about that knew roommate of his.” Sango said grinning.
“He is cute...but...say Sango...this is going to sound weird, but you know when we were captured did you see anything strange about Inuyasha?” Kagome asked her words sounding unsure.
“Strange?” Sango raised an eyebrow at her friend.
“You know changing eye color...furry ears on top of his head?”
“No...but I was in the trunk of a car remember...what do you mean furry ears?” Sango had a complex look on her face.
“Well like dog ears...I know it sounds weird maybe I just drank too much.” Kagome quickly shooed the thought away and waved her friend to forget the matter.

“So Inuyasha how are you feeling now that you are fully awake?” Miroku asked while I lit up a cigarette.
“Feh...alright I guess.” I said inhaling the nicotine and then slowly letting the smoke escape my lips.
“Miroku what the hell do you do when you don’t work downstairs?” A question I asked just to keep me entertained...what his answer was didn’t really matter, but hell I was getting tired of sitting up here trying to get rid of the hangover.
“I used to have a band, but my guitarist fucking quit and decided to go to college and I don't know it went down from there.” Miroku sighed.
“Yeah man I know how that goes, back before I decided to move around I played with a ska band and man having eight kids trying to make it to practice and have no one get pissed off at each other was the hardest fucking thing.”
“Really fuck man ska is hard shit. What did you play?”
“Guitar and vocals. What about you Miroku?”
“Rhythm guitar and vocals...haha what do you know. If you want man we can go jam downstairs. I always have my gear set up.” Miroku didn’t even leave the decision up to me he took me by the arm and down we went. I was in awe as I saw him pick up a Pete Dee Signature Shecter guitar.
“Dude...how did you score that!” I said looking at the beautiful body work.
“Ha I got some friends.” That Miroku always being mysterious and leaving you to put the pieces together.
I walked up the steps onto the stage and picked up a Les Paul Epiphone. Which was heavy as fuck. Jeeze there is a reason I didn’t buy one they have a beautiful sound, but man the weight will give your shoulders such an ache after playing it for a full set.
The jam session actually went well, Miroku knew most of what I played and if he didn’t he could catch on after a short run through. We played songs like ‘Meltdown’ by Citizen Fish, ‘Yelling in My Ear’ by Operation Ivy and even ‘Life is Pain’ by Leftover Crack plus a few others. We played for hours and it felt great having a guitar in my hands again. One of the things I regret about when I left home was leaving my ‘baby’ sitting in my room to never be touched by me again. Oh god was she beautiful too her black finish shined and the clarity of her sound...she played had edge on her too. The distortion that would run through her oh fuck...I wish that I could get her back.
The jam session had worn me out, but damn I was glad for it. Playing that guitar had reminded me how much I missed playing and how much I had missed being in a band. I sat over by the bar wiping the sweat off of my forehead.
"So Inuyasha, you are a really good musician." Miroku said chugging a glass of water.
"Thanks, what are you getting at Miroku?" Enough pussy footing around if you want me in a band just say it.
"Well I'm looking for someone to take over guitar and shit, and I thought you would maybe take up that position." Miroku smirked.
"You are perfectly capable of it aren't you?" I looked over at Miroku with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, but hell I prefer the singing more you know." I didn't touch it I just said alright and that was the end of it Miroku got on his phone and talked to a guy named "Skunk" and some other people and set it all up.
The week ran on blustering and raining like a bitch, but Miroku's project had turned out surprisingly alright, but there was one asshole thrown in to the mix and his name was Kouga...he was an idiot and sure he could drum, but that wasn't much of a feat. There was just something about this guy that drove me fucking crazy. I wanted to bash him over the head with an amp. Everyone else seemed alright, the one called Skunk was pretty rowdy and had a great feel for the bass. He was great to bullshit with too. Then there was just one trumpet player to give the band a little bit of a different feel and he was named Hojo...but I called him Hoagie...his name reminded me of the fucking food and he was strangely polite.
Our first show was Saturday night and fuck I was ready to shred, Miroku said that Sango and Kagome both would be in attendance. Who doesn't love a musician this would get Kagome's attention...I would have her liking me in no time at all. This town really wasn't so bad...I hadn't been in a group like this since I was sixteen. This place had a different feel from the other places and by the time I was done with it, it was going to be turned into ruins.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kagome what time did Miroku say to be there?" Sango asked piling through her clothes.
"Six." Kagome said applying the last bit of eyeliner to her right eye, "So Sango how do I look?"
"Wow Kagome, I'm surprised at you getting so dressed up." Her friend remarked looking at her Germs shirt altered to fit a girl and her black pants with chains coming off. She even put on her jacket which was a real rarity these days.
"I know...I just..."
"You want to impress Inuyasha or Kouga right...can't choose can you." Sango laughed.
"NO! I don't know Inuyasha and Kouga is like a brother...I just hadn't worn this outfit in a while." Kagome said crossing her arms.
"Riight I believe you...not!"
“Oh yeah Sango, what about Miroku we both know you love that pervert!” Kagome stuck her tongue out jestingly. Sango gave her friend a glare and then threw a pillow at her in which Kagome retaliated and threw one of her stuffed animals.
The girls finished getting ready and went over to the car that Kagome’s parents had actually let her borrow. Kagome blasted Against All Authority with the windows rolled down and really blasted it when the song All Ages Show Tonight came on. Sango and Kagome both sang at the top of their lungs and Sango threw her fist outside the window. Cars drove by disapprovingly but when a person started yelling at Sango at a red light, Sango threatened their life as she took out a pair of brass knuckles and the car sped off before the light had even changed to green nearly hitting an oncoming truck.
They pulled into the parking lot behind the Wind Tunnel building and arm in arm they went on their way to the front. There was the usual big line waiting outside but they pushed through and came to the front, when a new comer had tried to protest she was told to shut up by one of the other regulars.
They were the first ones in outside of the bands. Miroku was testing the microphone when he saw the two girls enter. He jumped off the stage and was followed by Hojo, Skunk, and Kouga.
“Hey Kagome here to see me play.” Kouga said his ego beginning to fill the room.
“Yeah I’m glad that you Skunk, Miroku, and Hojo are all back in a band together, but I really want to see how Inuyasha does!” Kagome said excitedly. Ego now departing in 3...2...1.
“Kagome...please I have been in a band with him for a week and he isn’t all that great.” Kouga snorted.
“Inuyasha is probably one of the best guitar players I have ever met!” Miroku smiled not hearing what Kouga had previously said, “In fact Kagome, you should go talk to him he just got done tuning his guitar.” Miroku sent his dashing smile and scooted his friend over in the direction of the stage which Inuyasha was occupying.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
There she is! Fuck she is coming towards me...oh fuck...ugh...make conversation you idiot!
“Hey...” I leaned back against an amp, but it slowly skid backwards nearly sending me off of my feet. Real smooth retard.
“Hi...so you are playing with Miroku huh...he says you are a really good guitar player.” She smiled...man that smile.
“Yeah...well I had a lot of time to kill as a kid. Guitar was just something to pass the time by.” Why was I acting so weird...god damn it man keep it together!
“Yeah...I know how that is. Singing was a lot like that for me too, and Skunk has really helped me come along a great deal with bass.” I couldn’t believe it she sings and plays bass too...stop the search I found my girl.
“Why don’t you start a band?”
“I don’t know it is hard being a fucking girl trying to be in a band let alone a punk band.” She sighed.
“Ha I’ve seen it happen. Ever heard of Vice Squad, Distillers, or Tsunami Bomb.”
“Yeah, yeah, but they are the lucky ones. Most people around here are already in bands or don’t like having chicks in the band, too much drama not that I blame them.” She let out a laugh.
“I would be in a band with you.” She let out a blush and propped herself onto the stage letting her feet dangle off of it and I sat down next to her. I was almost there I could feel it.
“Hey Kagome! Come take a shot with me before we get on stage!” Kouga shouted by the stairs. Kagome then acknowledged her friend and jumped off and went over to Kouga...of course he had to ruin the perfect opportunity...fucking bastard.
I picked up my guitar and messed around with it making sure it was in tune and also nothing was happening yet so it gave me something to do. Miroku gave a nod at the guy holding up the door and he replied by opening the door in which a swarm of people pushed their way through just like they had done the first concert I saw here.
I watched Miroku round up Skunk, Hoagie, and fuck face and headed towards his position on stage. People had already staked out spots in front, this was the biggest crowd I think I’ve ever played too. The feeling was indescribable, but I was a little nerve racked not seeing Kagome down here. I scanned the crowd, but couldn’t find her anywhere. I suppose she is upstairs.
When it came time for my solo and I took my attention off of the crowd I noticed long raven hair right in front of me. It was her alright with Sango right by. Both of them throwing up their fists and making rounds in the pit. She always pushed her way back up to the front, right below me. I couldn’t help but smirk a little when I saw her. She never left either she remained stirring up people and singing along to the songs that Miroku had written. Sango had made her way over into Miroku’s view, but I didn’t pay much attention to them or anyone else other than my two girls...well one I was renting from Miroku(a.k.a the guitar) and the one that was going to be my girlfriend. But right now I realized that if I concentrated to much on Kagome, I would end up fucking up the guitar licks.
Once our set was done I jumped off and went over to Kagome who was only a few feet from the stage.
“Wow Inuyasha that was great!”
“Thanks Kagome want to go get a drink and celebrate a night that I didn’t fuck up on a song.” I smirked putting my arm around her and guiding her to the bar. She was blushing the whole way and I could sense her beginning to grow warm towards me...it was like seeing her mind slowly unfold.
Right when we started to cheers and shoot down whiskey a commotion began by the door. Kagome and I both got up and looked over the railing to see Miroku talking to the police. Miroku looked calm, but like always the fucking copper had a face of discontent and sick pleasure.
“Kagome wait here.” I warned her.
“What do you mean? Fuck, Inuyasha why is there a cop here?” Kagome asked peering down as another cop dragged a guy out while another one tazered a kid. More cops stepped in grabbing a hold of a bunch of people who seemed to just want to know what was going on rather than cause a scene.
“It’s going to get ugly, I think a raid is in progress just trust me get Sango and go out the back way. If nothing happens I will find a way to tell you.” I pushed her towards the exist against her protest and went over to Miroku, Skunk, and Kouga. Hoagie I saw was upstairs telling the minors to get out of the bar and try and leave. This was serious.
“You see we have reason to believe that underage drinking has been taking place at your venue sir.” A bald and smirking cop said.
“Sir please, we have a very strict policy that there are to be no minors admitted upstairs that is why we have two body guards at the bottom of the stairs.” Miroku said point to the body guards remaining at their post.
“Well we are just going to have a look around.” One grinned.
“On what grounds speculation? Do you have a warrant?” Miroku protested.
“You fucking punks as you call yourselves should grow up.”
“What right do you have to attack us with your failed system!” Skunk roared, “You and all the fucking brain dead politicians call these cracks in the system a “revolution” but to the Vanguard Party that’s criticizing: what have you been up to the Soviet Union!”
“Look Tom we have ourselves another deadbeat who thinks he knows how the world works.” The cop’s face grew into a full blown smile that sent the message of fucking someone over.
“Oi! cut that bullshit! I work my ass off! I go to school and work over time at a shipyard! And at least I make an honest living that is more than you can say piggy!” The cop just looked to his friend and than punched Skunk across the face. Skunk did all he could to resist putting the cop in his place. I could see the fire burning inside him and he had the brains to know that the cops were trying to get him to react to be able to throw the book back in his face for assaulting an officer. Boy did the cop want Skunk to throw a punch. The cop picked him up and threw him across the table.
“Look officer there is no evidence of underage drinking and I will make sure that security around here gets tighter and I will close up shop for the night. Now you guys can get out of here and let the kids enjoy the rest of their night without getting into anymore trouble.” Miroku said stepping in as soon as he saw Skunk go flying.
“Fine...” The cop replied and sent out the call to get the other officers to back off and left.
“Fuck! What the hell! I had my run ins with cops, but fuck I have never seen something like that. We can get their badges for this shit!”
“No...Inuyasha we really can’t.” Miroku said shaking his head as he walked over to Skunk and picked him up off of the ground.
“What do you mean we can’t!”
“This town has one of the most corrupt law enforcement and judicial systems in this blasted nation.” Of course there was a catch to being here. Fuck...those cops I wouldn’t mind putting out of this worlds misery.
“So where is Kouga and Hoagie?”
“Hojo and Kouga went with the girls I told them to take Sango and Kagome upstairs.” Miroku said walking Skunk over to the venue’s fridge to get ice. Shit...that fucker is alone with my Kagome! I went over to the elevator and in the living room Kagome and Sango sat silently. While Hoagie and Kouga sat on the other couch.
“Inuyasha what the hell happened!” Kagome yelled as soon as the elevator doors opened.
“Cops came and Skunk got caught up in it. One of the cops threw him and I think he may have hurt his ankle. They are getting wise to the underage drinking.” I said sitting next to Kagome.
“No, they aren’t getting wise to jack shit. They do that to every venue that has ever opened in town...you see they’re all about intimidation and only barge into venues that has an income...and since they are pigs and have no respect for us nor for the most part we them, they try to walk all over us and once someone gets nervous they end up cutting a deal.” Hoagie said leaning back on the coach.
“Fucking greedy mother fuckers.” Kouga mumbled.
Miroku and Skunk came upstairs shortly. The look on their faces was rage fused with hopelessness.
“You know what lets go out!” Kagome shouted.
“What do you mean go out?” I asked looking over at the sweet face who had broken the silence.
“I mean let’s go and wonder around town and step into the bar down the way and get shitty drunk. No better time for a drink than when you nearly get busted right!” She smiled.
“Kagome what about your parents?” Sango asked looking at her friend in awe. She would never suggest something this risky especially not when she had her parents car in her possession.
“I told them before we left we would probably stay the night here. It’s a good thing my parents don’t know you as well as Sango and I do.” Kagome winked at Miroku.
“Your parents love me, I was their best next door neighbor!” Miroku said acting dignified.
“Yeah, right. They just didn’t know your perverted little ways. Using your binoculars to try and get a peep show!”
“Shut up Kagome...besides I was ten and was playing army man!” Miroku nudged Kagome. I got up and headed towards the elevator to take me back downstairs.
“So are we going or are we just going to discuss how perverted Miroku is...you sick fuck.” I laughed.
“Kagome, we should just stay here. I don’t want to see anything happen to you especially if we run into anymore cops.” Kouga said pulling back on her arm. Kouga was one paranoid kid...he really needs to take the pine tree branch out of his ass.
“Kouga you’re so sweet...you are like the older brother I never had.” She gave her friend a hug. I gave a little smirk looks like someone is stuck in the doghouse.
We went to the bar and didn’t leave until the owner had to come over and threaten to kick us out. I managed to get a bottle of whiskey out of the deal. The rain was coming down into a pleasant drizzle and everyone was stumbling as we walked around. We wandered through a thousand alleyways and parking lots until we came to a gated off section of one particular parking lot.
“Come on guys!” Sango said climbing over the fence and could barely make it over if Miroku hadn’t lent her a hand.
“Yeah come on!” Kagome followed her friend. I joined in along with Miroku.
“Hoagie, Skunk get your asses over here!” I yelled.
“Oh come on guys how juvenile can we get. It says no trespassing.” Kouga protested not realizing the last two had made it over. He then let out a defeated sigh and pulled himself over the silver fence.
“Hey Inuyasha come here.” Kagome said opening her arms and beckoning me with her fingers. I followed her instruction dumbly unable to think...my heart beating out of my chest and the bottle of jack still being gripped in my right hand. When I reached her she let out a laugh and started to dance like there was music playing in the wind. I put my arm around her and started to join in. Everyone was laughing and beginning to dance along and sing various drinking songs...that is except Kouga who just hung out in the background watching everyone making fools of themselves.
Kagome was really different than any girl in this whole condemned world. She had two sides, but they were always shown ; the innocent Kagome was just as present as the wild and raw filled Kagome.
“You know, Inuyasha don’t think I have forgotten about your ears.” Kagome slurred into a whisper. It sent me into dumbfounded look. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell your little secret. I think they are cute.”
The rough and rumble dancing from before had turned into a waltz between Kagome and I. She put her head on my shoulder and I felt a huge drop land on my forehead. Then it began to come down into a steady pour, but it didn’t slow any of us down. I looked over to Sango and her and Miroku had even started to laugh and mess around. Meanwhile Skunk and Hoagie were just making asses of themselves as they messed with Kouga who sat moping in the rain.
“Inuyasha...” Kagome said looking up at me.
“What?”
“Why do you hide your ears?” She asked putting her hand to the spot on top of my head where my ears would be if I hadn’t hidden them.
“Some monsters shouldn’t be known to the world. I rather fuck things up as a human than...well what does it matter.” I smiled down at her.
“Well I don’t think your any more of a monster than I am. Besides who says it is a bad thing to fuck things up. If I could I would set this whole world ablaze and watch as all the politicians and evil people perished.” Kagome was hammered.
“You know Kagome I’d take the beauty of chaos over anyone else’s ugly perfection.” She looked back up at me. She is mine...no one else’s and I won’t let anything happen to her. I won’t let anyone get in her way. This is it. Kagome all of a sudden stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her fingers in my head and pressed her lips against mine. Kagome...I embraced her tighter and felt her lips part a little. I moved my tongue into her mouth and felt the rush of warmth fall through me. Fuck...I finally found someone who wasn’t a psychopath and I was acting like a fucking little kid about it...
