InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The One Who Heals My Heart ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

The three students were soon done eating and the girls were heading back to their new dorm room. Once they got there Kaiya took out her CD player and plugged it in.

“Do you mind if I put on some music?” she asked. “I’m going to grab my laptop and send some e-mails to friends and family. And I always seem to type faster if there’s something to listen to.”

Kagome smiled and sat down at her desk chair. “No, I don’t mind.”

Kaiya smiled and put in a CD.

“Do you listen to a lot of music?” she asked as she pushed play on the machine.

Kagome shook her head. “No, I was always too busy to listen to music. I’m not really up on the latest things. I was kind of out of sync with the in world for the past three years.”

Kaiya smiled as the song started to play. She soon pulled out her laptop, and had it set up.

“Then I’m sure you won’t know the group that’s playing. They’ve only become popular in the last year or two, and only at colleges. They’re kid of underground. You should listen to them, they’re really quite good!”

Kagome smiled and sat back and closed her eyes. She tried her hardest to listen to the music. It was more rock then she normally liked, but she had to admit it sounded really good. The group sounded to be all guys. And they were quite good at what they were doing. She felt bad that she had missed the beginning of the song. But soon the next was playing, and she could listen to all it. Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t go quietly
Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t sit patiently

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Where’s life taking me?
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Always traveling

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I wanna love my job
I wanna love my life
But most of all, I wanna fall in love

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already   First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I’ll see that look in your eyes, I miss you already  

Kagome was a little surprised at how much she liked the song. She looked over to where Kaiya was typing away on her computer.

“I like it,” Kagome said calmly. “What’s the band’s name?”

Kaiya didn’t even look up form what she was doing when she replied with, “Fukumaden.”

Kagome frowned a little. “Why would they name themselves that?”

Kaiya smiled and looked over at Kagome. “I really couldn’t tell you,” she said, then went right back to working on her e-mails.

When Kaiya had said this, Kagome got the feeling that she knew, but didn’t choose to disclose the information that Kagome sought. She wasn’t sure what to think of it all.

Then she noticed that the next song was different then the last. The group seemed to change their style to suit the song.

“They sure have different genre’s don’t they?”

Kaiya smiled again, but still continued looking at her screen. “I know. That’s one of the things that makes them so popular. They have songs for anyone‘s tastes.”

Kagome nodded her head and said that she was going to get ready for bed, she had an early start in the morning.

“Will the music disturb you? Or is it okay if I let it play for a while?” Kaiya asked.

Kagome shook her head no. “The music is fine. I can fall asleep with any noise. I had to learn how.”

With that Kagome headed to the bathroom to get ready. (\ /) (•.•) (><)  

One Month Later

Kagome and Kaiya had gotten into a routine, and were fast becoming good friends. Even Toki was becoming a good friend to Kagome. She felt better then she ever had in the past year. At times it was even as though she was back with Miroku and Sango, with out the pervertedness that was the monk.

The siblings were big Fukumaden fans, and Kagome was becoming one too. It seemed that if she had a question about the band, they knew the answer to it. And between the two of them, they had every CD the band had ever made, which weren’t actually that many. And them having the CD’s was great since Kagome found herself wanting to listen to them more and more.

The siblings didn’t seem to mind if Kagome borrowed anything of theirs. They were happy to share with her. Kaiya said that it was because they were used to sharing with the rest of their family. Kagome still felt bad about it at times though, so she made sure to let them borrow anything they may need from her. And it was nice since Kaiya seemed to be the same size as Kagome, and they both had great taste in clothing.

In fact the first day of school Kaiya had said that Kagome couldn’t have been too out of sync with the world since all of her clothing was in style. Kagome had laughed and told her that her clothing that would be the only thing that was.

It was now the second month of school, and Kagome was headed to the mess hall. It was finally lunch time, and that was a good thing since Kagome was starving. She had woken up late that morning and didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast.

When she got to the mess hall she saw a crowd just outside the door around the note board that was there. She was too hungry to wonder what was going on, so just walked passed the crowd and into the line for lunch. She was quite surprised when she saw that she ended up right behind her old friends from middle school. She hadn’t seen them in years. They had ended up in a different high school then Kagome. And with everyone being so busy with that, there had been no time to get together.

“Eri? Yuka? Ayumi? I didn’t know that you were going to this school too.”

The three turned to see Kagome standing there, smiles on their faces.

“Kagome!” all three said at one.

“It’s been far too long since we’ve seen you,” Yuka said.

“There’s so much to catch up on,” Ayumi said.

“Ya,” Eri muttered. “Like if you’re still with that two timing jerk or not.”

Kagome frowned. “What are you talking about Eri?’

“She’s talking about that guy you were dating when we were 15. We haven’t seen you in so long that we don’t know if you’re still with him or not,” was Yuka reply.

Just as Kagome was about to respond in the negative, Toki came up and slung his arm around her shoulders.

“Hey there Kags! Did you see the poster outside?”

The three looked at the boy with shock. Who was this hottie and how did Kagome know him?

“Sorry Toki. I missed breakfast this morning, so I didn’t stop to see what all the fuss was about.”

“Now Kagome, how many times must I tell you that you need to eat more? I swear one of these days you’re going to faint on me.”

Kagome laughed. “Whatever Toki. You know better then anyone that I don’t have an eating problem.”

Now the three friends were even more intrigued. Why did it sound as though this guy was Kagome’s boyfriend? Were they going out? And they still didn’t know how the two met. It was time to start asking some questions.

“Kagome? Who is this?” Yuka asked.

“Oh!” Kagome looked a little surprised to see them there. It was as though she had forgotten that they were standing right in front of her.

Kagome had the grace to blush. “Sorry. Toki this is Eri, Yuka and Ayumi. I grew up with them.”

“Nice to meet you all,” Toki said putting his hand out to the girls

“How did you two meet?” Eri asked.

“I’m Kaiya’s brother,” Toki said as though that explained it all.

“Kaiya is my room mate,” Kagome explained.

“Oh!” the three girls said.

Suddenly a body made it’s way between Kagome and Toki, who still had his arm around her. It was Kaiya.

“Please tell me you’re going Kagome! I’ve already ordered three tickets! You just have to come with us!”

“Huh?” Kagome was now definitely confused.

“I didn’t get a chance to tell her about it Kaiya!” Toki said to his sister. He turned to Kagome. “Fukumaden is having a concert!”

“What!! But I thought you said that they don’t give concerts!”

Kaiya smiled. “Normally they don’t! Heck no one even knows what the guys look like! But they wanted to come out to the world I guess. They’re even going to be doing a video at the concert!”

Kagome had a huge smile now. “I’m definitely there!”

The other three girls were still standing there as confused as ever.

“The line is moving you know,” some rude guy behind Kagome said.

“Oh! Sorry!” Ayumi said and they all moved to the counter.

“Why don’t you three join us for lunch?” Toki asked.

“That would be great!” Kagome said. “Then we can catch up!”

The other’s agreed. And soon they were all sitting at a table.

“Sorry, I didn’t catch your names,” Kaiya said.

“Oh! Sorry Kaiya! These are my old friends Eri, Yuka and Ayumi. We grew up together.”

Kaiya smiled. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“You too Kaiya,” Ayumi said.

“What was that you were talking about in the line? Fukumaden?” Yuka asked.

“Oh!” Toki smiled. “It’s this great under ground band. Not a lot of people have heard of them. But they are popular with the college crowd. They’ve never given a concert before, but I guess they want to get more of a following, so now they are.”

“If you’ve ever hung out with any of the people that have been here before then you’ve probably heard at least one of their songs,” Kaiya said with a smile.

“Oh?” Eri asked. “What’s one of their songs that we may have heard?” She didn’t like this Kaiya girl for some reason. She didn’t understand how Kagome could like her. Heck, she didn’t see how Yuka or Ayumi could either. But then she had changed in the last few years. She had grown apart from her friends and their childish ways. This was actually the first time that she had seen any of them for at least a year.

“Umm..” Kaiya said. “That depends on who you hang out with. The only reason I know of them is family.”

Eri looked confused so Kagome told her, “She means Toki here. He’s two years older then us, and was here when they first burst onto the scene. Kaiya introduced me to them. They really don’t have one specific genre, but that’s one of the things that makes them so popular.”

“What kind of crowd do you hang out with?” Toki asked.

“I’ve been hanging out with the pi beta cappa’s. I’m trying to pledge with them,” Yuka said.

Kaiya smiled. “Then I bet you’ve heard their song Not Quite Paradise.”

Yuka smiled. “I love that song! That’s by them?? Wow. Now I want to go to this concert!”

Toki smiled. “Unfortunately, they were sold out after ten minutes. But as you heard my sister got us three tickets. And I didn’t know this, and got three myself. They aren’t as good as hers, but if you’d like them you’re welcome to them.”

Yuka couldn’t stop smiling now. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Toki just smiled and brushed the thanks off.

“I wonder what song of theirs I’ve heard?” Ayumi asked.

“Well who do you hang out with? I bet you Kaiya or Toki would know which song you would know. They know them all,” Kagome said.

“Umm… I’ve just been spending my time in the computer lab. I’ve gotten a lot of assignments from my computer teacher lately.”

“Who’s been the tech in there with you?” Toki asked.

“Umm.. Hibiki Amatou.”

Toki nearly chocked on his ramen when he heard this. “Oh! He’s a good friend of mine. Anything he listens to would be by them.”

Ayumi smiled. “That’s nice to know. I really like the music he plays in there.”

Yuka looked to Ayumi and smiled. “Why don’t you take one of Toki’s tickets and come with me?”

Ayumi smiled and agreed as long a Toki didn’t mind. He told her that he was just glad that the tickets would be used.

Then they noticed that Eri hadn’t said who she hung out with to find out what song she may have heard.

“Eri?” Kagome asked.

“What?” she snapped back.

“Ummm, who have you been hanging out with?”

“Oh, I’m more with the Goth crowd. So I don’t think there are any songs that I’ve even heard of,” was the reply that came from her mouth.

“I don’t know about that,” Kaiya said, glaring at the angry girl. “There’s too many that the Goth crowd listens to, to only pick one will be hard.”

“Umm,” Toki tapped his finger on his chin then suddenly smiled. “I know! Life Is A Bullet! That’s one of their more popular song with that crowd.”

Eri looked a little shocked. “That’s by these Fukumaden guys?”

Kaiya nodded her head.

Toki smiled. “Ya, you want the last of my tickets?”

Eri smiled. “If you don’t mind.”

Toki shrugged. “I gotta get rid of them some how.”

“Would you like us to pay you back for them?” Ayumi asked.

Toki shook his head no. “Na, that’s okay. It’s not really that big of a deal.”

The girls just shrugged and they all finished their meals.

On the way out of the mess hall Kagome turned to Toki and Kaiya. “You know. It might be a good thing if you told us when this concert is going to take place.”

Kaiya smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, forgot. It’s actually this Friday.”

The four other girls were shocked to hear this. That meant that they only had about 4 days to plan out their outfits for this thing. Now was a time to panic! (\ /) (•.•) (><)
