InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Rock This ❯ So What's With The Ears? ( Chapter 2 )

*Still don't own Inu and crew. The song featured here is The Kill by Thirty Seconds to Mars*

 

 

 

The two girls roared up to the club, Down the Well, on Kagomes bike. She shut down the machine before pulling her helmet off and tossing her unruly hair. Sango had slid off behind her and was tying her hair up into a high ponytail, all the while muttering about helmet hair.

 

“Hey at least we got here basically on time!” Kagome giggled as Sango shot her a dark look. The two girls headed up to the doorman, and flashed their best smiles his way as he waved them through amidst groans of protest from the people in line outside. Their band played regularly at the club and they could usually be found there when they had off hours. Once inside they slid up to the bar and ordered drinks, all the while looking around for Rin. Another local band was on the stage now, and the place was fairly packed. Rins petit frame suddenly appeared as she launched herself at her two best friends and band mates.

 

“Hey you two! Wasn't sure if you were going to make it.” She glanced at the way Sango took a shot of tequila and giggled. “I'm guessing Kagome had to drive…”

 

“Yeah no kidding…” Sango laughed and leaned against the bar.

 

They had met Rin in New York a little over three years ago and they had become fast friends with the bubbly girl. She worked in a coffee shop on the Upper East Side and played some of the best drums in the city. At 22 she was a year younger than Kagome and Sango, and came from Japan originally, like the two of them. Kagome and Sango had met in the airport when they first set foot in New York five years ago, and got into a fight over a luggage mix-up. They figured no other people could possibly have the same lime green and skull print luggage. They became friends after security let them go.

 

“Hey!” Kagome fake pouted. “I am not a scary driver. I'm perfectly safe.”

 

“Safe I'll buy, but you are scary. You drive like a bat out of hell.” Rin teased as she sipped at her own drink. “So Sango, your guy plays the bass? What about the others?”

 

“He's not “my guy”. He just happens to be a guy that I see…” She shrugged and stirred her drink before continuing, “Umm the other guys I don't know too much about. The lead singer and guitar player comes from Tokyo originally, like Kagome. Haven't met him yet. The drummer is a new guy and his name is Hojo. He's someone they're trying out. He seems nice, boring but nice, and I heard he is great on the drums. We'll see right?”

 

“Not your guy my ass…” Kagome muttered, earning an elbow from Sango.

 

“So are any of them single?” Rin asked excitedly, bouncing around and almost spilling her drink onto the guy next to her.

 

“Yeah, they all are really. Kags, you should maybe…” Sango started before being cut off by Kagome waving her hand around.

 

“Please for the love of Kami, no. I don't think I need to date for a while. I'm just so done with all of it.”

 

“Well in that case, I may buy you a cat.” At Kagomes blank face Sango giggled, “Since you are well on your way to becoming the neighborhood cat lady…”

 

“Sometimes I wonder why I hang out with you…” Kagome muttered and finished off her drink as she motioned to the bartender for another. “I just don't see anyone worth my time right now. Why bother right?”

 

“So what kind of cats do you like?” Rin giggled before turning to cheer as the band onstage finished their last song.

 

“I guess your man is up next…”

 

“So not my man.”

 

“Uh huh.”

 

Giggling the three girls grabbed their drinks and headed for a closer spot to the stage. The crowd surged around them as Goshimboku stepped up onto the stage and shouldered their instruments. The cords of the fist song rang through the club as they leapt into their first song.

 

What if I wanted to break?

Laugh it all off in your face

What would you do?

 

What if I fell to the floor?

Couldn't take this anymore

What would you do, do, do?

 

Come break me down

Bury me, bury me

I am finished with you

 

Sango clapped excitedly and pointed out the one with the dark short ponytail as Miroku. The other two rolled their eyes knowingly at her schoolgirl behavior. Sango really liked this guy. It was up to them to make sure that he was good enough for her.

 

What if I wanted to fight

Beg for the rest of my life

What would you do? (do, do)

 

You say you wanted more

What are you waiting for?

I'm not running from you

 

Come break me down

Bury me, bury me

I am finished with you

Look in my eyes

You're killing me, killing me

 

All I wanted was you

 

 

Kagome glanced at the other band members. The drummer was a somewhat tall guy with reddish brown hair. He was fairly good on the drums and was pounding away with eyes closed and body in full swing. `Well at least he seems into what he's playing…' Her eyes moved again and she had to stifle a gasp when she laid eyes on the guitar player. He was a gorgeous example of what a hot band guy should look like. He had long, unusual silver hair that cascaded down the back of his fitted just right black tee shirt. His baggy jeans hugged his body in all the right places, and Kagome was hard pressed not to drool. Sango noticed the look on her face and nudged Rin, as Kagome remained oblivious to their laughter. She was too busy studying his most usual feature. He had little white doggy ears on top of his head. She vaguely wondered if it was a marketing gimmick and quickly took a survey; none of the other band members had them. She was definitely going to meet this guy.

 

 

I tried to be someone else

But nothing seemed to change

I know now, this is who I really am inside

Finally found myself

Fighting for a chance

I know now, this is who I really am

 

Come break me down

Bury me, bury me

I am finished with you, you, you

Look in my eyes

You're killing me, killing me

All I wanted was you

 

Come break me down

Break me down

Break me down

 

What if I wanted to break?

 

 

The rest of the show went fairly quickly, and Kagome Sango and Rin cheered loudly as they waved to the crowd and exited the stage. They were a great band, after all. Kagomes gaze had kept repeatedly returning to the silver hair, and the ears nestled behind the long bangs. She thought that she even saw them twitch once or twice, but assumed it was a figment of her imagination. She had decided that for once she should wait and ask, rather than jump up on stage and grabbing and rubbing a perfect strangers ears. It seemed like forever before she spotted the silver hair make its way to their table with Miroku and the other guy. A new band had started up on stage, but a big chunk of the crowd had taken off, seeing as the “main band” for the night had already played.

 

“Hey baby!” An enthusiastic Miroku slid up to the table and tossed his arm around Sango, before turning his gaze to the other women at the table. “Well well, what do we have here? Two lovely ladies have joined my beloved Sango this evening?”

 

“Can it for once you lecher. You'll scare them off.” Came the gruff reply from the silver haired singer behind him.

 

“Oh my apologies ladies. These are my band mates, Inuyasha and Hojo.” Miroku bowed low, taking a moment to grope Sangos ass.

 

“Hentai!” She yelled before smacking him in the face. “Can't you keep your hands off my ass for five minutes!”

 

“I think it must be love…” Kagome cracked before ignoring the now arguing couple completely and turning to the other boys.

 

She noticed immediately that not only were Inuyashas ears even cuter close up, but that he had the most intense golden amber eyes she had ever seen. `Must be contacts…' she figured before remembering herself and smiling at the two in front of her. “Hi, I'm Kagome and this is Rin.” Rin waved and chirped a hello from the seat next to her before excusing herself to momentarily go to the bar.

 

“You girls are in the band with Sango right?” Inuyasha asked, slowly taking in an eyeful of the girl in front of him as Hojo did the same.

 

“Yeah.” Sucking in a breath, Kagome leaned closer to him so that he could hear her better over the thump of the other band and spit out the only thing she had on her mind: “I have been dying to ask you something all night. What's with the ears?

 

Kagome watched as the boys face went a deathly shade of white before the ears on his head flattened back.

 

“Holy shit…” was all Kagome got out before Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and dragged the wide eyed girl out the back entrance to the club, leaving an extremely confused Hojo with the still arguing couple.
