Chapter 5

 

Kagome couldn’t believe her eyes. There in front of her, standing on stage with a mike in front of him and a guitar in his hands, was Inuyasha. He still looked how she had always remembered him in the past year. He still had his long silver hair, and those gorgeous golden eyes. But when she looked to the top of his head, the ears were missing.

Maybe this wasn’t her Hanyou. He sure looked like him, but the ears she love so much were gone. Did he make a whish on the Shikon to make him look this way?

When Kagome looked at what he was wearing, she saw it hanging around his neck on a chain. That could only mean that there was a different meaning for all of this, but it was definitely Inuyasha standing up there.

He was in a pair of blue jeans that hugged his shapely legs ever so nicely, with a red button down dress t-shirt that he had left half the buttons open on. It was untucked and had a dragon on it. Actually, when Kagome took a closer look at it, it looked just like the one that Toki was wearing, only in red.

When Kagome looked up again, she saw that his eyes were on her. They seemed to be telling her something, but she couldn’t quite make it out.

“This next song,” he started to say, “is dedicated to a person that I haven’t seen for years. I happen to know that she’s out there tonight, so I just wanted to tell her that she still means a lot to me.”

With that music started to pour out of the speakers. Kagome knew that she was the girl that he had been talking about, and that this song was one that no one had ever heard before. She felt the love she had for the man on stage swell as she looked into his eyes while he sang to her. And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now   And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight   And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am   And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yhea you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am  

Kagome smiled up at the man that had promised to always protect her. The man that had taken her heart and ruined her for anyone else. She knew she was in heaven at this moment in time as she watched him play a solo on his guitar.

In the back of her mind she wondered where he had learnt how to play like that. Then she got pulled back into the music.   And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am   And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am  

The grows went wild once the song was over. They seemed to love it, but Inuyasha didn’t seem to care. He was too busy looking at Kagome and her reaction to care what everyone else thought.

When he saw and smelt the tears in her eyes, he wanted to jump off the stage and bring her into his arms. Then he saw the smile she was giving him. She wasn’t sad… she was happy. A smile came onto his own lips. She had liked seeing him again, and even more important to him, she liked the gift he had given her through song.

The roar of the crowd soon snapped him out of his trace. He had a show to do still. With once last look at the woman that held his heart, he looked out at the rest of the crowd.

“Liked that one did you?”

The crowd went wild, and Inuyasha smiled. He knew tonight would be a good night. (•.•)  

When the band had been on for an hour, it was finally time for an intermission. Once Inuyasha announced that they’d be back in half an hour, Kagome turned to her companions.

“What the fuck guys??”

Toki smiled. “Liked our surprise, did you?”

Kagome nodded her head. “I still don’t understand how this could happen though.”

Kaiya took this one. “That might be better explained by the band members.”

Kagome agreed, but still had one question for them. “Kay, but then who was that on drums?”

Toki laughed. “That would be our father.”

“Huh?” Kagome was now even more confused. The man that was on drums looked to be the same age as them. How was it possible for him to be their father?

“That’s all part of the explanation you’ll be getting if you follow us,” Kaiya said as she made a motion to a security guard standing at the gate.

The man came over and smiled at the 18 year old.

“Hi Kaiya. You wanna go back?”

“That would be really nice, Keitaro,” she told the burly man. “Don’t forget to let Toki and our friend Kagome in too.”

Keitaro nodded his head and Kaiya stepped past him once he had opened the gate a little. Toki put Kagome in front of him, and the two walked through as well. When others saw the three go through, they tried to. Unfortunately for them, Keitaro was good at his job.

When the three of them got to the back they were directed to the band’s dressing room. When they reached it, Kagome started to feel small butterfly’s in her stomach. She was nervous about seeing Inuyasha again. Had he changed in the time that they had been apart? He had said on stage that it had been years since he had seen her, but to her it had only been one. What did that mean?

There were so many questions floating in her head, that they were starting to mesh together.

When Kaiya put a hand on the door, she turned to Kagome and asked, “Are you ready?”

Kagome could only nod her head in the affirmative.

When the door was opened, the first thing Kagome saw was Inuyasha sitting on a stool with an acoustic guitar in his lap, a pencil in between his lips, and a piece of paper on the table next to him. He seemed to be working on a song.

Then suddenly she was wrapped up in a pair of arms. When she looked up to see who it was, since she knew it wasn’t Inuyasha, she was surprised to see it was Hibiki.

“Kagome!” he cried. “I can’t believe it’s you! But you still smell the same so it has to be.”

It finally registered who’s arms she was in. It was Shippo.

“Hey!” some one yelled from behind the kitsune. “Don’t hog her!”

Shippo stuck his tongue out at who ever had spoken. “Shut the fuck up Wolf breath. I can hog her all I want! She is my mother you know!”

Kagome smiled. “It’s good to see you too Shippo.”

“See! She even remembers my name!”

Kagome laughed. “Of course I remember your name. How could I forget the cute little kitsune that stole my heart with his bravery and his tears the first time I met him. Although, you really aren’t so little anymore!”

Everyone laughed at that.

“My turn!” a voice said.

Kagome was sure that she knew that voice… and she definitely knew that hand!

“Miroku!! You pervert!!” she yelled as she smacked him on the face.

“Man,” Toki said with a wince. “I haven’t seen him do that to anyone but Mom!”

Kaiya laughed. “What? Did you think mom was lying about how he acted before they got married?”

“No, but they’ve been married for what?? 500 years? You would think he wouldn’t have the habit anymore!”

Miroku laughed. “I just wanted to let Kagome know that it really and truly was me.”

“Sure you did Hoshi,” Kagome replied.

Miroku just smiled and gave her a proper hug.

“It really is good to see you again Kagome.”

“It’s good to see you too, Miroku.”

Koga walked up and slung his arm over Kagome’s shoulders. “How’s my woman been?”

Just as Kagome was going to answer, Miroku butted in with, “Did you hear that Ayame? Koga’s gotten back into the habit of calling Kagome hi woman again!”

Koga got that look that said ‘I’m in deep shit’ on his face, then quickly let go of Kagome and turned to the door.

Kagome turned too and saw Ayame standing there. She didn’t look too upset.

“I don’t mind Miroku. I know who he’s going home with tonight… and it’s not her.”

With that she walked in, gave Koga a kiss on the cheek and Kagome a quick hug.

“It’s good to see you again Kagome,” she said.

Kagome smiled. “It’s good to see you too Ayame.”

Just then a voice was heard from the corner of the room.

“I hope you guys haven’t forgotten that we still have the second half of the concert to finish. Our break is almost over.”

Kagome looked to see who had said this, and saw Sesshoumaru sitting on a couch. He looked normal again. When she looked at the other youkia in the room, she noticed that they looked normal as well.

“What happens to your markings and ear and teeth when you’re on stage?” Kagome asked.

Shippo grinned. “It’s a spell that we found in our journeys after you left us. It makes all the features that distinguish us as youkia disappear.”

“But it’s takes a lot of energy to keep it up,” Koga continued. “So when we’re in privet, we tend to take it off.”

“We were lucky that Kaede was able to make the anchors for us before she died,” Shippo said.

“What are your anchors?” Kagome asked.

“Well,” Koga said. “Mine was my headband, but then I had to upgrade with the times, and now it’s a ring.”

“Mine’s my earring,” Shippo said.

That’s when Kagome noticed that he had a piercing on his left ear.

“Nice,” Kagome said. “But what do you mean you had to upgrade with the times? I thought you said that you had to get Kaede to make them for you.”

“We did,” Miroku said. “But once I knew how, I could do it for them.”

“So what’s you’re anchor Sesshoumaru?”

The youkia lord raised an eyebrow. “It is my wedding ring.”

Kagome was a little shocked. “You mean you actually take your wedding ring off? And who the hell did you marry?”

Inuyasha started to laugh. “Yes he takes it off. The bastard has two. One that’s his anchor and one that isn’t. As far as who married him…”

Suddenly a woman came running into the room. She had long black hair and long slender legs. She seemed to be full of energy. When she saw Sesshoumaru, she quickly jumped into his lap.

“Hi Kagome,” she said off handedly.

“Huh? Do I know you?” Kagome asked.

Inuyasha chuckled again. “You remember Rin don’t you?”

Kagome was shocked. This was that little girl that always followed Sesshoumaru around?

Rin smiled and cuddled into her lord’s arms.

“She would be my Mate,” Sesshoumaru said calmly.

Kagome just nodded her head.

“What’s your anchor Inuyasha?”

He smiled and pointed to the Shikon no Tama. He was the only one that hadn’t taken their anchor off. “It made the most sense at the time. I couldn’t really use Tessaiga since it already held my demon blood a bay. And the only other thing that I had on me at all times was this.”

Kagome smiled.

Suddenly another person made their way into the room. Kagome didn’t notice until the person spoke up.

“You guys have a minute to make it to the stage and get your stuff in order,” a female voice said.

Kagome turned when she heard that familiar voice. There in front of the door, with a clip board in one hand and looking down at her watch, stood Sango.

Kagome gave a squeal in joy. “Sango!”

Sango’s head popped up with a smile. “Kagome!!”

The two girls embraced. “You don’t know how good it is to see you!” Sango said.

Kagome laughed. “Do you know how much I’ve herd that since I came back here?”

Sango laughed and looked over at Toki and Kaiya. “And you two! Shouldn’t you be at your dorm rooms studying?”

Kaiya moaned. “Come on Mom! It’s a Friday night!”

Sango gave her daughter a stern look. “I don’t care! Just because the males in this family spoil you rotten, does not mean I will! I told you that if you were going to move out of the house and go to collage that I expected you to do well in it.”

Toki laughed. “Mom, we just came to show Kaiya’s new room mate off to the family. And besides, you know you would have been disappointed in us if we were here to support the band.”

“Ya!” Kaiya chirped up.

“You mean to tell me that Kagome is Kaiya’s room mate, and you didn’t tell me?”

Toki had the grace to look chagrined. “Kaiya made me promise.”

Now it was Kaiya’s turn to have that look on her face. “Dad made me do it!”

Miroku got the ‘You’re going to get it ‘ look from Sango. He had the nerve to grin.

“I wanted it to be a surprise. The only ones that knew about it were myself and Shippo.”

Shippo grunted. “And the only reason I knew was because I came over one day and Miroku called Kaiya, but Kagome answered. The bastard wouldn’t even talk to her, scared that she might recognize his voice. So he called back right away and made me do it.”

Kagome laughed. “That was you??”

Shippo just nodded his head.

“Well, this is all nice and good, but now you guys are going to be late getting on stage!” Sango said.

The guys smiled and put their anchors back on, then rushed out of the room.

Sango turned to the three college students and said, “Are you going back to your seats? Or do you want to watch from backstage?”

The three decided to watch from backstage. Kagome still had questions that needed to be answered, but she knew she would get those answers once the show was over with. (•.•)  

A/N: the song in this Chapter is “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls. I know it’s kinda corny, but it’s one of the only songs that I a have that a male sings that works there!
