Chapter Dedication: BlackParade and Koga'sChick

 

Chapter 6:

 

Kagome stared blankly at the screen, not sure how to react. How were you supposed to react when someone wrote a song about you…a song about love? It was supposed to be a good thing, not something that could ruin your life. But that was exactly what this was doing. If Hojo saw this, or anyone who knew Hojo, it would ruin her perfect life.

 

“Wow.” Ayame sighed, breathily. “That is so romantic!” She declared, her green eyes stared off dreamily, probably fantasizing that Koga would do the same for her some day. Kagome turned her shocked face and looked at her friend like she was insane. Which she was. Didn't she realize this was a big deal?

 

“Romantic!?! It was STUPID! He just…he just…oh my gosh. What if Hojo finds out he dedicated a song to me? He won't want to marry me! I can't believe that a rock star just ruined my life!” Kagome cried, jumping dramatically to her feet, and pulling at her long hair in a stressful manner.

 

“Kagome! Kag! Listen! He didn't even say your name! So no one will even know it's dedicated to you!” Sango shouted, over Kagome's hysterics.

 

“Your right! Oh thank Heaven, he didn't say my name!” Kagome said, feeling relieved. Suddenly she felt awful. InuYasha had just wrote a song for her, and all she could worry about was her life being ruined. A small part of Kagome was secretly happy. What girl wouldn't want a totally hot rock star writing love songs for them? But she had made up her mind on what kind of life she wanted. And as long as she had that picture in her head, she wasn't going to let anything get in her way. Not even totally famous, and totally hot rock stars.

 

Kagome collapsed on the couch; feeling a little better, as she told herself that he had just did it for music sake. He did not really have those feelings for her. He couldn't. He wasn't capable of those kind of feelings. Sango and Ayame shared a look of surprise, before Ayame and Sango took a seat on either side of Kagome.

 

“So your not going to do anything about this? Not even a little tiny part of you wants to see what it would be like with a rock star? You don't even want to try and see if it could work?” Ayame asked, looking at Kagome as if she were nuts. How could anyone turn down a catch like InuYasha?

 

“Aya's right Kags. Don't you just want to give it a shot? At least try. You never know, it could work. And it could be the best thing that ever happened to you. You have been smitten with InuYasha since you first heard his voice on the radio, and saw him on TV. When we were in Vegas, you guys were together constant. You looked so in love. You can not tell me you don't feel a thing towards him!” Sango said. This was insane. Were they really trying to talk their friend into going out with a superstar? Wasn't that something that someone should do on their own, without their friends making them?

 

“Yeah. It might be the best thing that ever happens to me. He might give me a great life, and house and family. It might completely work between us.” Kagome began. “But it could be the biggest mistake of my life, too. What if he dumps me for some other girl? Or what if he cheats on me? What then? I would be completely heartbroken. I never said I don't have feelings for InuYasha. That is FAR from the truth. I lo…. I just couldn't. I have my life set and planned already.” Kagome said, shaking her head so she wouldn't think about it anymore.

 

“Kagome, if you want something, if you love something, you have to go for it. I really think that if you don't take this chance, THAT would be your biggest mistake. Sure, it would be taking a risk, but it would be so worth it. And if it doesn't work, well, then you know. At least you wont be sitting in your house, with twenty million kids running wild, while your totally dull husband Hojo watches the news all night, kicking yourself for never taking a risk.” Sango was going to keep trying until it wasn't worth it. She didn't want her best friend to ruin her life, by being afraid of ruining it.

 

“I'm not a risk taker. That's not me. I'm not going to risk everything I have wanted all my life for a rock star.” Kagome announced, determined not to fold.

 

“What is life without risks!?! It's NOTHING! Nothing, Kagome! You have to take risks in life or you will never ever have what you want!” Ayame shouted, getting fed up with Kagome's stubborn ways. The man of her dreams was singing away to her, and she didn't seem to care at all. Was Kagome really that heartless?

 

“That's not true. I don't have to take a risk to get what I want. I want what I have already planned out. Nothing more. I want a simple life. Why can't you guys realize that I already have what I want?” Kagome asked raising her voice.

 

“That life may be what you want, but is it what you dream of at night?” Ayame asked, glaring at Kagome. She couldn't believe Kagome was going to throw her life away because she was afraid to take a chance. “If you don't take this risk, and give something this great a try, you're completely insane and stupid!” She shouted, storming out of the living room and toward her bedroom. Ayame wasn't so self centered and completely ungrateful, like Kagome was becoming. She would die to have Koga do that for her, but no. He had a thing for Kagome. Why the hell did everyone have a thing for Kagome? What was so great about her? All she seemed to be was a spoiled brat. Ayame spun on her heel and faced Kagome one last time. “Or maybe you're just a pussy.” And with that she went into her bedroom, and slammed the door.

 

Sango and Kagome stared at the place where Ayame disappeared, surprised by her outburst. Sango glanced over at Kagome, and then stood up. Ayame was completely right. Kagome was too stubborn to do what she really wanted. And she was ruining her life. No matter what anyone had said to her, Kagome wasn't going to change her mind. Ever. Without a word, Sango left the dorm room, and walked slowly to her own. Their was nothing left to say to Kagome tonight. All three of them had to cool down; they would talk about it tomorrow, but tonight was already trashed.

 

Kagome stood and went into the small kitchen. She grabbed a bag a chips and began to stuff her face. She was ravenous, she had been all day. And the fight with her friends made her want to eat away her sorrows, so that is just what she was going to do.

“What's her name?”

 

“Do you think this song gets you the girl?”

 

“How did you two meet?”

 

“Will you write anymore love songs in the future?”

 

“Are you in love with her?”

 

“Are you going to marry her?”

 

“Is she famous?”

 

“How long has your secret affair with her been going on?”

 

“What kind of underwear do you wear?”

 

“What does she look like?”

 

“Are you planning on seeing her soon?”

 

“Was she here at the concert?”

 

“How long have you known her?”

 

“What does the other members of the band think about your new song?”

 

InuYasha's head spun as he tried to focus his tired brain on the questions reporters were bombarding him with. He was trying to get to the tour bus so he could sit down, it had been a long concert, and he needed to sit. And a beer… But he knew there would be no let up if he didn't answer a few questions.

 

“Her name's Kagome. I hope this song gets me the girl. We met in Vegas, she was at the concert, front row, and I gave her backstage passes. We ended up hanging out for the two weeks we were there. She was there on spring break. I'll write as many love songs as it takes to get her. Uhh…I…I don't know…I…I think I do…She has to give me a chance before we start exchanging vowels. No, she is not famous, she's a college student. It's not a secret affair. I normally wear boxers, but with leather pants, I don't usually wear anything since there so tig- HEY!! That's none of your business! She has black hair and brown eyes. As soon as possible. No. She's at college. About 3 weeks. They think it's an ok change.” InuYasha answered as he pushed his way to the bus, tired of their questions about Kagome, and his underwear.

 

Finally, InuYasha got into the bus, and collapsed on the couch, reaching into the mini fridge next to him he pulled out a beer. Slowly, the rest of the band filtered in and sat around the make-shift living room. Rin was at talking quietly, but rapidly into her cell phone. Her face was red with either anger or embarrassment, none of the guys were quite sure. Normally the demons in the group would be able to smell what she was feeling and hear her whispers, but after the concert their senses were always on the fritz. The pot the people in the crowd had been smoking had clogged their nose and was currently messing with their heads. Their sensitive ears rang from the screaming crowd and their thumping amps.

 

“I can't believe you! Do you not realize what he just did!” Rin screamed into the phone, suddenly gaining the entire buses attention. She paused as she listened to the person on the other end. “I don't care about him, and neither should you! You don't even love him! I don't care if you're scared! Fear is temporary, regret is forever!” Rin paused shortly in her yelling. “Of course everyone is telling you you're going to regret it! You are going to regret it! Why the hell are you crying?” This pause was longer, and Rin began to lose her anger, her face fell. “Whatever. It will be on your conscious. Have your fake, happy life! Be miserable! No one cares anymore!” Rin shouted, and hung up, hanging her head in despair.

 

Slowly she looked around at the questioning faces of the band. She felt bad for screaming at her best friend, she truly did, but she was being ridiculous, and Rin had been dying to say that stuff to Kagome. It had been on the tip of her tongue since she refused InuYasha's offer of touring with the band. She felt worse that she had made Kagome cry, but knew that her next statement was going to her feel even more terrible.

 

“It didn't work.” Rin said softly, looking into InuYasha's beautiful amber eyes. Despair of failure filled the van, as InuYasha hung his head. Silver hair spilled in his face, blocking it from view. Quickly he stood, angry.

 

“Whatever.” He muttered, and stormed out of the bus. He was going to the bar. The bus only had beer, and at the moment, he wanted something that was going to make the pain go away faster.

A/N: I know. I haven't updated in forever. Sorry. Tons of excuses I'm not going to bore u with. But I must say that I had a terribly shitty day (u would 2 If ur “best friend” screwed u over 4 the…second or third time..or is it the fourth. U would think I would learn that when ever she befriends someone more popular then me, that she ditches me. And I have. I totally expected her to do it. But I just didn't want to believe it. Cuz everyone wants a best friend. And she is the only person I kinda sorta fit in with. ) so if I update any of my other stories soon they will prolly all be angsty and laced with fights like this one. Sorry for that, but u know.

 

Question: Name the 3-man southern rock band from Texas. Hint: they have really really long beards. And if anyone noticed they were the band that was playing at the festival on Back To the Future Part 3.
