InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome's Boom Box ❯ Butterfly ( Chapter 6 )

Kagome's Boombox

Part 6

"This one's got a fast beat," said Kagome as she popped in the CD and pushed a few of the buttons. "hope everyone's ready to get up and dance!"

"Get up and what?" Inu Yasha muttered incredulously.

"Dance, you moron!" Shippo raspberried the hanyou. "Don't you know how to dance?"

"Feh!" spat Inu Yasha. "Demons don't dance!"

"Oh yeah?" Shippo shot back. "Watch me!"

The song began with a semi-familiar Japanese tone that everyone immediately took a liking to. Determined to prove Inu Yasha wrong, Shippo twirled around to the music almost like a ballerina. Sango and Miroku, following Kagome's example, stood up to dance and enjoy the song in its entirety. Meanwhile, Kagome had pulled out a microphone and plugged it into the system.

Ay, iyaiyai, Ay, iyaiyai

Ay, iyaiyai, where's my samurai?

"Wow! That thing makes your voice come out of the boombox!" Shippo squealed. "Cool!"

"I'm impressed, Kagome!" Sango remarked, her body moving to the beat. "I had no idea you knew how to sing."

"I used to practice at home sometimes." Kagome shrugged. "And besides, this one's easy to learn."

I've been searching for a man

All across Japan

Just to find, to find my samurai

Someone who is strong

But still a little shy

Yes I need, I need my samurai

Following the lyrics, the little fox picked up a stick off the ground and swung it around like a sword. Shippo then leaned it back over his shoulder in a manner he had seen Inu Yasha do with Tetsusaiga and strut around the area like a proud warrior.

Kagome's muffled giggle was heard through the boombox, with Sango and Miroku joining in. The little boy continued, undisturbed by his audience and shaking his tail excitedly. Inu Yasha, disgusted as always by their behavior, muttered an arrogant 'Keh!' as he turned is gaze in another direction.

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

A fluffy white dog ear flickered in the direction of Kagome's voice. As much as he hated this waste of time, Inu Yasha could not help but notice the tone in Kagome's voice as it filtered through the boom box. Cautiously, he glanced down at her from his perch, mentally admitting that he actually liked the future girl's singing.

I've been searching in the woods

And high upon the hills

Just to find, to find my samurai

Someone who won't regret

To keep me in his net

Yes I need, I need my samurai

The more Inu Yasha silently watched and listened to her, the more it seemed that Kagome was directing the lyrics to him. Almost involuntarily, his ears began to twitch to the beat. Looking down at his left hand, which was clutching Tetsusaiga, he noticed that his fingers were tapping the sheathe to the music. He mentally growled at his foolishness, but that didn't stop either motion.

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Ay, iyaiyai, Ay, iyaiyai

Ay, iyaiyai, where's my samurai?

Ay, iyaiyai, Ay, iyaiyai

Ay, iyaiyai, where's my samurai?

Everyone froze in the middle of their fun when they noticed that Inu Yasha had come down out of his tree. The hanyou stepped up to Shippo, unsheathing the Tetsusaiga and handing it to the little boy.

"Look, if you're going to impersonate a samurai, at least use a real sword!" said Inu Yasha.

Shippo looked at him oddly, but grasped the hilt of the blade willingly. No sooner had Inu Yasha let go than the blade hit the ground, with the fox heaving with all his strength to at least lift it somewhat. As Inu Yasha approached the others, his sensitive ears flattened back against his head, irritated by the loud volume the music was set at.

(Breakdown)

"Have you finally decided to join us, Inu Yasha?" Kagome smiled.

"Feh!" Inu Yasha grumbled. "I have better ways to use my energy than moving around like a drunk! I just wanted to pick on the brat."

Kagome gave him a mean look, but since he hadn't actually hit or attacked Shippo in any way, she had no reason to subdue him.

"Oi, Inu Yasha," Miroku glanced over at him. "Do you really hate Kagome's music that much?"

"Of course I do!" Inu Yasha barked back. "What kind of stupid, fucking question is that?"

"Well, you don't seem to be hating it THAT much!" the monk grinned, pointing to the top of his own head while raising an eyebrow at Inu Yasha.

The dog hanyou fumed as he realized he'd been caught in the act. As though of their free will, his ears had again begun flicking in time with the beat. He growled, ready to lash out at the houshi for embarrassing him, but a loud 'OSUWARI!' from the boombox crunched him into the dirt.

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Having given up on trying to lift the heavy Tetsusaiga, Shippo retrieved his stick and continued enjoying the melody, hopping around cheerfully. Kagome sang along into the microphone as Inu Yasha peeled himself from the ground.

Ay, iyaiyai, Ay, iyaiyai

Ay, iyaiyai, where's my samurai?

Ay, iyaiyai, Ay, iyaiyai

Ay, iyaiyai, where's my samurai?

Inu Yasha sat up and scowled, his legs crossed and his hands tucked into his sleeves as usual. His close proximity to the boombox made his ears hurt a bit, but he stayed put, secretly enjoying Kagome's voice despite the fact that she had just flattened him.

The lyrics had made his thoughts wander. Was she really directing the lyrics to him? Or was it just his imagination or just his human blood acting up? Scolding himself mentally, he closed his eyes as the song came to a close.

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly

Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Sango and Miroku slumped down onto the porch, out of breath, but smiling from having a good time. Shippo did the same right where he was, laughing childishly. He hadn't had this much fun for quite awhile!

"Kagome!" he beamed. " What's next? What's next?"

The future girl set down the microphone to change the music. After all that, Shippo still hadn't tuckered himself out? She shook her head, smiling. Of course the little boy wasn't tired yet! He was a kid, and a demon kid to boot!

"Oi, Kagome!" Inu Yasha grumbled. " Haven't you made enough noise with that thing for one day?"

"For your information," Kagome stuck her tongue out at him. "no, I haven't!"

"Take it easy, Inu Yasha." said Miroku. "It's not very often that we get to relax and enjoy ourselves this much. It could even wipe that constant frown off of your face for a change!"

Not wanting to get subdued again, Inu Yasha just growled at him. Without looking, he knew that Kagome had already put in another of those stupid discs and was preparing to make more noise.

"Great," he thought. "I need this like another hole in my chest!"

A big ARIGATOU goes out to Inuyasha-kun for helping me find the lyrics to this song. I know somebody had requested this song, and I aim to please! Just in case some of you were wondering about the order of the lyrics, they are in order according to the DJ Mystic remix of the song.

Like it? Hate it? Tell me! Wanna suggest a song for me to use? Leave it in your review and I'll look it up! As mentioned in one of the previous chapters, I will be using other Inu Yasha songs such as "Dearest" and "Every Heart" eventually, but I like to space them out so that it's not just a lump of Inu Yasha songs all at once. Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon!
