InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sounds of Song ❯ Meet the Tashio's ( Chapter 2 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Winterscape: Greetings and welcome to the second chapter of Sound of Song. This chapter is slightly longer but is the result of a song being in here. In compliance to the rules I do not own the characters of InuYasha nor do I own the plot. As a response to raykay I to was not a big fan of song fictions before I started writing them. And I am glad to know you like this one. As a response to daydreamer99 I am content to receive your reviews, as I am with everyone's, and I am glad to hear you like both stories. Now, onto the chapter.

Kagome had been left along on the Tashio plane. Mr. Brockett had to make a stop, Kagome didn't know where, and sent Kagome to go the rest of the way by herself.

It wasn't bad. The sturdiest that was working that day was a panther demon that had a great sense of humor and talked to Kagome.

By the time Kagome had landed at the Mountainside Airport she was starving and really wanting to just sit down and relax.

“Hello, are you Miss. Higurashi?” A demon disguised as a human asked her.

“Yes I am.” Kagome replied. “And, please, just call me Kagome.”

“Mr. Tashio had sent me to pick you up and bring you to the house.” The demon told her.

“Alright, let's go.” Kagome replied with a smile, being led out to the parking lot where a limousine sat waiting.

“Are you kidding?” Kagome asked.

“Pardon?” The demon asked her.

“Are we seriously riding around in a limo?” Kagome asked which earned her a smile from the demon. “I didn't catch your name.”

“It's Akron.” The demon, now known as Akron, told her.

Kagome smiled at him again and got into the limo.

`Can you say trash to class?' Kagome thought to herself as the limo pulled out of the airport parking lot and started on its way to the Tashio residence.

The ride in the limo was very relaxing, which Kagome was very happy about.

Akron looked from time to time at her from the rearview mirror, the separator window down.

Everything time he looked at her they would smile at each other.

They reached the Tashio estate after a short car ride.

Now Kagome really felt like trash.

The estate was huge! The house, well mansion, had to be at least four stories and very regal. Three cars were parked in the driveway; a black Lexus, a silver eclipse and a red impala.

Kagome felt out of place as she rang the doorbell. Her jeans and tee shirt seemed to make her stand out as an inferior being.

The door opened and a butler, of sorts, greeted her with a smile.

“You must be Miss. Higurashi. Right this way.” The butler told her.

“Oh thank you and please, just Kagome.” Kagome told the butler, which earned her another smile.

She was lead to the dining room where the family sat waiting for dinner to be served.

“Mr. Tashio, Miss…Kagome has arrived.” The butler announced.

“Thank you.” Mr. Tashio replied as he stood up.

Mrs. Tashio beat him to her.

“Oh my, we're so happy to have you here.” Mrs. Tashio told her. “My name is Izayo.”

“Thanks, I'm glad to be here.” Kagome replied, her accent earning her glances from the two sons at the table.

“Well Kagome why don't you take a seat, we were just sitting down to dinner.” Mr. Tashio announced, sitting down.

Izayo pulled Kagome into the seat beside her.

“It's so great to have a girl in the house.” Izayo swooned.

Kagome let out a nervous laugh.

`Nice going Kagome, now you've gotten yourself into some crazy family's house.” Kagome thought.

Mr. Tashio started to laugh, obviously reading her thought.

Kagome blushed and looked at the empty plate.

“No need to be upset Kagome. Izayo is just happy she has relief from two bickering sons.” Mr. Tashio told her, smiling.

“Feh.” One of the sons huffed.

Kagome rolled her eyes, already noting the arrogance she was getting off him.

“That one's InuYasha and my other son is Sesshomaru.” Mr. Tashio told her.

“Get this through your Texas brain; you're here as a guest so don't start walking around like you own the place.” InuYasha told her.

“I'm not from Texas I'm from Tennessee and I wouldn't dream of it seeing as you've got that role covered.” Kagome replied, unable to hold back her insult.

“InuYasha, hold your tongue.” Izayo told her son.

“Now Kagome we must go shopping tomorrow.” Izayo announced.

“Alright, but I don't have much money on me.” Kagome told her.

“Oh don't be silly dear, you don't need any money.” Izayo laughed, Mr. Tashio chuckled.

“Alright thank you.” Kagome replied.

“So Kagome, when did you first start singing?” Mr. Tashio asked her.

“When I was maybe three or four. My dad always hated it but my mother was a singer so I guess I just kind of followed in her footsteps.” Kagome told her.

“Oh wow, that must have been wonderful. I bet she's very proud of you.” Izayo told her.

“Well I don't really know she's...she's not with us anymore.” Kagome replied, a slight ting in her usual happy voice.

“Humans and their weaknesses for death.” InuYasha announced in an arrogant tone.

In an instant he was blow back by a pink light.

“Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Tashio.” Kagome announced, looking at Mr. Tashio.

“No worries, he deserved that. InuYasha I guess you didn't hear that Kagome is a miko now did you? And, please Kagome, call me Inu.” Mr. Tashio replied.

“What! You brought a miko into the house? Are you crazy!?” InuYasha exclaimed.

“Umm maybe I should go.” Kagome announced.

“Nonsense, InuYasha stop acting like a child.” Inu announced.

After he said that the food was brought out. It was a nice dinner of a roast, potatoes and vegetables.

The family talked and Kagome just stayed silent, eating her food.

After dinner was done the five of them sat in silence for a few moments.

“Oh… I'll ask. Kagome would you mind singing for us?” Izayo asked her.

“No of course not. Do you guy's have a piano?” Kagome replied.

“Well we have an old winter piano; it's in tune but probably not what you're used to.” Inu chuckled.

“No, that would be great. Keyboards just don't have that authentic sound that a real piano has.” Kagome replied.

The five of them entered a living room and Kagome sat at the piano, the family sitting around.

“Is there something you'd like me to play?” Kagome asked them.

“No, just play anything dear.” Izayo told her.

“Alright.” Kagome replied.

She placed her fingers on the keys and found her place before she started playing the beginning of a song.

“There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.
So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
Sing to me the song of the stars.

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.
I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
at the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.” Kagome sang.

Kagome finished of the piano and then turned around to find a shocked family.

“That was amazing.” Sesshomaru breathed, catching the attention of everyone.

He cleared his throat and then left.

InuYasha had his mouth on the floor.

“Wow, you are much better in person than on tape.” Izayo told her.

“Thank you.” Kagome replied.

“Well Kagome we have matters to discuss now.” Inu announced, inviting Kagome to sit on the couch across from them.
