InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fall Into Me ❯ Chapter Four ( Chapter 4 )

~*~Sorry about the cliffhanger. It was about four something in the morning. I got tired. So, now you find out what happens next. Oh and are you seeing a small pattern in the story? Gotta love the inside jokes that are just random and funny. At least to me. READ NOW!!!~*~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inu Yasha looked toward her line of vision and saw the man he had seen onstage before. He took another look at Kagome to see her completely crushed. Curious, he looked back at the bastard that had hurt her so much. What he saw startled him. 'Hojo's not alone.'

On his arm was a tall woman who looked very pale and had long dark, shiny hair. Her eyes were lifeless and held no emotion. Inu Yasha immediately recognized her. 'Kikyo…'

Now was not the time to dig up old memories. He had to help Kagome. Inu Yasha turned back to her to see tears in her eyes. 'She's so hurt by this.' Standing up, Inu Yasha looked at her. "Let's get out of here, Kagome. You don't need this."

She closed her eyes, wiped away the tears and shook her head. "I will not. I will not let him affect me this much anymore." She motioned for the waitress and when she came over, Kagome gave a new order. "A beer please."

Inu Yasha sat down and gave her a look that held uncertainty. The waitress came back with her beer and she began to chug it. 'Okay, that's not good.' "Kagome. Are you okay?"

She slammed the bottle down and motioned for another. "I'm fine." Her voice was so cold. She snatched to next bottle and chug this as well. Inu Yasha tried to grab it from her, but Kagome pushed his hand away. "I know what I'm doing. Back off."

This made him sit back. 'She's never been that angry to me before. It's the alcohol talking, that's all.'

After repeating this action to three more beers, Kagome was completely wasted. She had at one point gotten up and sat in Inu Yasha's lap, putting her head on his shoulder. "You know what Inu? You have pretty hair." Her breath reeked of alcohol. He tried to grab her and take her out of there, but she suddenly got up and ran to the stage. "Move it. My turn."

Inu Yasha watched in horror. She had no idea what she was doing.

"Hell-o? This thing on? Okay! I'm dedicating this to that guy over there." Kagome pointed directly at Hojo, who was watching her completely shocked. Inu Yasha groaned and got up to drag her out of there before she did something stupid. Too late.

"See, that guy used to date me and got into our band. Then when we got ourselves semi famous, he took his sorry ass and went solo. Now he's here sitting with this person who frighteningly looks a lot like me. So this one's for you buddy, even though I'm not blonde."

The song then started and Inu Yasha knew there was no way he was getting her down until she sang.

"I think that it's time that I should just let you go (let you go)

so I'll tell to your face instead of tell it to you on the phone (on the phone)

you see I thought you were special baby something unique

but lately I come to find

that you're not really interested in my heart or mind (oh that's fine)

That's alright. That's okay

You never loved me anyway

And I think that it's time for you to just move on (It's alright, it's alright, it's alright)

That's alright (That's alright) That's okay (that's okay)

I bet you never thought you'd hear me say

That I think it's time for you to find another dumb blonde

Cuz it's not me. No no

Cuz it's not me no no. Oh no.

Last night I went to a party hoping I'd see you there (went to a party)

And sure enough you were hanging on some other girl playing with her hair.

And I overheard you telling her the very same thing you said to me the night before.

Hook line and sinker. You were walking with her out of the door.

That's alright. That's okay

You never loved me anyway (I never loved you anyway)

And I think that it's time for you to just move on (it's alright it's alright it's alright)

That's alright. (that's alright) That's okay (that's okay)

I bet you never thought you'd hear me say

That I think it's time for you to find another dumb blonde

Cuz it's not me. No no

You want just a little trophy hanging on your wall so

All your friend will see you got it going on

But I see what you are so clearly

But baby baby that's not alright with me

At this point, Kagome walked off stage and over to Hojo, sitting on his lap. She gently slapped his face after the phrases.

That's alright, That's okay I never loved you anyway (It's alright It's alright It's alright)

That's alright, That's okay you never loved me anyway.

She jumped off and walked back to the stage.

You never loved me, but it's alright

But it's alright. Yeah Yeah

It's alright.

It's alright it's alright It's alright

Go ahead and find what you need.

That's alright. That's okay (Cuz it's alright with me)

You never loved me anyway

And I think that it's time for you to just move on

That's alright. That's okay

I bet you never thought you'd hear me say"

The crowd there applauded and Inu Yasha was amazed she could sing with all that beer in her. 'Focus. You got to get her out of here before she does something dumb. Well, dumber…'

He looked over to see Hojo and Kikyo get up and leave, looks of disgust on their faces. Anger swelled up in him. 'Hojo caused all this by breaking her spirit. Now he just walked away again. Bastard.'

Kagome looked at the two retreating figures. "Where'd you think you're going, buddy boy? Walking out on me again? Be careful lady. He'll use ya then dump ya in the blink of an eye. Oh wow, it's hot in here."

Inu Yasha moved quickly as he knew where that line would go. Kagome was slowly lifting her shirt when he came up and grabbed her, carrying her to the door while trying to make sure she kept that shirt on.

"Where we going, Inu?"

"I'm taking you back to the bus. You need some rest and coffee."

"I'm ffffine. Never better. Aren't you hot?" She started to pick at his shirt, trying to lift it over his head.

"Kagome, control yourself."

"I told ya, I'm fine. Wow. I didn't know they could spin the room."

Inu Yasha was having a very hard time getting her to keep her shirt on, keep his on and carrying her out of there. 'This was definitely a crazy night.'

Once outside the bar, Inu Yasha put her on her own two feet and tried to hail a cab. With his left arm, he supported the completely drunk girl.

"Ooooh. Look at that. Someone threw out a pppperfectly good mop."

Inu Yasha looked over to see that guy from before laying on the street. To his horror, he also watched as Kagome suddenly threw up all over the guy.

"Gahhh!!! What the hell? That is so disgusting!"

Kagome 'eeped' and jumped back to Inu Yasha. "The mop talked!"

"What the-" Suddenly, the cab pulled up and Inu Yasha gently threw her inside it. He walked over to the mop, I mean person and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry man. Here." Inu Yasha pulled out a ten and flung it at the guy. "For a new shirt… or better yet a new haircut." He then climbed into the cab, gave the driver directions to the bus, and held onto Kagome.

"Boy, it really is hot in here." Kagome proceeded to try and remove her clothes again while Inu Yasha tried to prevent that. He instead rolled down a window so the cool air would hit her, hoping it would be even to stop her little strip show. After a few minutes of working on this, they finally reached the bus. Inu Yasha paid the driver and took Kagome out, carrying her to the bus.

To his shock, no one was there. 'Keh. Kaede probably went in town with Shippou for something.' He opened the door and carried Kagome inside.

"Inu…I wanna go and sing more."

"Maybe later Kagome. Right now I need to get you a bit more sober."

She giggled. "Silly puppy. You need to be drunk first."

Sighing, he put her on the couch as he began making her coffee. 'Oh she is going to have a major hang over in the morning.' He grabbed a nearby mug and filled it with the coffee. Heading back over to her, he nearly dropped the mug. He was totally not prepared for what he saw.

There she was laying on the couch in a very seductive manner. Her shirt was on the ground leaving her with only her bra. She smiled and winked at him. "Let's have some fun, Inu."

Oh yeah. Inu Yasha was blushing like mad, but stood there mouth wide open in shock. 'Okay, focus. Kagome is drunk. She is sitting on the couch in her bra and shorts in a very very seductive manner. Get control of hormones! She's drunk!! She's drunk!! Remember she's drunk!'

Taking a deep breath, he slowly approached the girl and handed her the cup o'coffee. "Drink this."

Kagome took the cup and put it on the counter by her. "Come over here, Inu." She patted the seat near her, indicating for him to sit beside her.

'She's drunk!!! Keep that in mind, you fool!!' He closed his eyes and moved over to grab her cup and force the coffee down her throat. Before he could reach the counter, he felt Kagome yank on his arm, causing him to fall onto the couch beside her. Before he could move, Kagome slowly moved onto of him. He looked at her wide eyed. "Kagome?!?"

He received a smile as she lowered her lips to his, kissing him passionately. Inu Yasha was completely stunned. 'She's drunk…. Drunk… drunk… oh shit.' He couldn't help himself but close his eyes and kiss her back. Her lips were so soft. Slowly he moved his hands to her back, holding her close to him. Then it registered. 'Her shirt is on the ground. She doesn't know what she's doing. Help Kagome.'

Breaking the kiss, he pushed her back away from him and sat up. He turned away from her, picked up her shirt and threw it at her. "Put this back on and drink the coffee."

Kagome pouted and moved in closer to him. "Come on Inu. Let's have some more fun." She then started to kiss his neck and move upwards.

Inu Yasha stood up and moved away from her. He grabbed the coffee and put it in her hand. "Drink."

She continued to pout, but did as he said. She also put her shirt back on and eventually finished the coffee. Holding a hand to her head, Kagome groan. "My head hurts. I think I'll take a nap." With that, she passed out on the couch, dropping the empty cup to the ground.

Sighing, Inu Yasha picked her up and brought her into her room, placing her on the bed. He then grabbed a blanket and covered her with it, tucking her in ever so gently. Studying her face, Inu Yasha reached over and brushed the loose strands of hair away from her face, letting his hand travel down her face as well. Realizing what he was doing, he took his hand back and left the room. After fixing up the so called living room area, he climbed up to his bed area and got under the covers. 'They should be back soon. I'll explain what happened in the morning.' Bringing his fingers to his lips, he could still feel the warmth from hers on them. Shaking his head, Inu Yasha turned to the side and fell asleep.

~

A huge groan caught his ears as Inu Yasha awoke the next morning. Grinning to himself he knew right away Kagome was awake. 'Let the hang over time begin.' He climbed down and grabbed a glass of water and an aspirin. Softly he knocked on her door in which she groaned. He walked in and handed the water and aspirin to her. She took them gratefully. "Thank you. What the heck happened last night?"

"What's the last thing you remember?"

Trying her best, Kagome recalled the last thing she remembered. "I saw him walk in with this girl in his arm. Then something about a mop. That's about it."

"Well, you had quite a bit of alcohol and sang karaoke to the crowd. If I can recall it was 'Another Dumb Blonde' by Hoku. Anyway, you were pretty wasted so I took you back here. I got you to eventually drink some coffee and then you passed out. I brought you in here and put you to bed."

"That's it?"

Inu Yasha debated to tell her about their short make-out session, but decided against it. 'It would only embarrass her.' He nodded. "Yeah, that's about it. Oh, and you did throw up on some guy, which is why you probably remember a mop."

Kagome slowly fell back onto the pillow holding her head. "I feel like my head is going to explode."

He smiled at her and pulled the blankets up to her chin. "Get some more sleep. I'll come check on you later."

"Thank you Inu."

Inu Yasha stopped in the doorway. Kagome also realized what she said. "I'm sorry."

He shook his head. "It's okay. You can call me that if you want. I don't mind." With that, he left the room.

On the table he found a note from the gang. They had run into town to see about a benefit concert thing. They would only play three songs, but it was still publicity. He shrugged and started to make some more coffee. So he was alone yet again with Kagome. The passionate kiss they shared was still in his mind. 'This is going to be difficult.'

Kagome came out later that day and took a cup of coffee herself. She sat down by Inu Yasha, who stiffened. "Thanks for taking care of me last night. I could have gotten into real trouble. I'm sure you helped prevent that. I'm glad I didn't end up throwing myself at some random person. I have seen people do that when their drunk."

Inu Yasha just shook his head. "You didn't throw yourself at a random person." She smiled at him and sipped the coffee. 'Not a random person. It was me.'

~Later that Day~

Kagome looked at Kaede and scowled. "You didn't tell me it was a country thing."

"You don't happen to know any country songs, do you?"

*Sweatdrop*

"The only one I can remember is 'Son of a Preacher Man' and I'm not even sure that's country."

Inu Yasha smirked. "I think we can work with it."

Miroku nodded and Sango smiled. Shippou couldn't care less. He would just do what they decided.

Sango piped up. "Hey, Kag. Remember way back when when we watched that country music thing. What was it… Nashville Star?"

Kagome thought for a minute. "Oh yeah. That's how I know the song."

"Well, I remember this other one… the red head's song. 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me.' I can sing that one. We'd only need one more then."

Miroku sighed. "I too watched that. I remember one of the songs, but I would have to play guitar, not drums. And part of it is in Spanish."

Inu Yasha shrugged. "You know I can jam on the drums. We'll just switch."

Shippou smiled as Kaede clapped her hands together. "It's settled then. Let's get working on this. The high school said we could borrow their stage to practice."

The gang nodded and they all headed over to their "rehearsal hall." All the way there, they listened to the Nashville Star CD that Sango just happened to have with her at the moment. (work with me)

After hours of working on them, they were satisfied and headed over to the gig. The people in charge welcomed and thanked them for the short notice and all.

Kagome and the rest of them began to set up on stage. Inu Yasha pulled Miroku aside to talk. What happened last night was still on his mind. When he was sure the girls couldn't hear him, he turned to his friend. "I have to tell you something that you have to promise not to tell anyone else."

Miroku looked at him with curiosity. "What is it? I promise not to tell anyone."

Inu Yasha shifted from one foot to the other. He had his hands in his pockets and looked around. "Well, last night Kagome and I went to a karaoke bar. Hojo walked in with Kikyo on his arm."

Miroku's eyes went wide. "Wow. What are the chances?"

"Kikyo doesn't matter, okay? The point is Hojo walked in with another woman on his arm and Kagome saw him. She proceeded to get drunk and eventually I got her back to the bus before she did anything too stupid."

There was a weird gleam in Miroku's eyes, which Inu Yasha noted right away. "No I did not do what you're thinking, hentai. But…"

"But what?"

Inu Yasha was starting to rethink telling Miroku, but he had to get some advice on this. "But, while I was getting her some coffee, she, umm… took off her shirt and positioned herself on the couch in a very seductive matter. Eventually, she pulled me on the couch and kissed me, deeply."

Miroku's eyes went wide. "Kagome did that?" He received a nod to confirm that fact. "What did you do?"

Blushing a bit at the memory, Inu Yasha shook his head. "I eventually pulled her off, made her put her shirt back on, drink the coffee then put her in her own bed. To answer your perverted question, I went to my own bed."

Miroku nodded. "Well, does she remember this at all?"

"No. The last thing she remembers is the first beer."

Miroku thought this over. "Well, what did you think?"

A blush returned onto the man's face, causing Miroku's eyes to get wide again. "You liked it, didn't you?" The blush deepened and Miroku smiled. "So, what are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing. She would be too embarrassed about it. I don't want her to be uncomfortable around me."

Shaking his head, Miroku looked at his friend. "Inu Yasha, she talks to you more then anyone here. And we've been with her forever. You must be someone she considers very special to her. It's your choice to tell her or not."

The guys looked toward the stage to see the girls talking as well.

~Girls' convo~

"You got drunk after you saw Hojo?"

Kagome nodded. "Inu Yasha took care of me and prevented anything from happening though. I had the strangest dream though."

"What was it?"

Kagome looked at Sango and blushed. "Well, I was on top of Inu Yasha, kissing him. He was kissing back and had his arms around me."

Sango's eyes went wide. "And what do you think about that?"

The blush deepened. "I think I liked it." To that, Kagome got a smile from her best friend.

"Why don't we talk about this later? We have a show to do now." Sango put a reassuring hand on Kagome's shoulder and moved to her keyboard. Miroku moved to his seat by the drums as Shippou picked up the bass guitar. Inu Yasha walked out to take his spot and caught Kagome's eyes on him. They looked at each other for a moment, then looked away, blushing.

"Howdy folks. Why don't we get this party started?" Inu Yasha began with his guitar and Miroku came in with the drums.

"Billy Ray was a preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered around and starting talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'

Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'

Then he'd look into my eyes

Lord knows, to my surprise

"The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

"Bein' good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try

When he started sweet-talkin' to me

He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right "

He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right "

Can I get away again tonight ?

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who can ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was ( yes he was )

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Takin' time to make time

Tellin'me that he's all mine

Learnin' from each other's knowin'

Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

( The only one who could ever reach me )

He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man

( The only boy who could ever teach me )

Was the son of a preacher man

( The only one who could ever reach me )

Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man"

The group applauded when Kagome finished. "Thank you. Next is a song called 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me'. I hope you like it." Kagome turned to Sango and they swapped places basically. Sango wasted no time getting started.

"Well, I lay my head on the railroad track

Waitin' on the "double e"

But the train don't run through here no more

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Oh, these boys won't let me be

Lord have mercy on me

Woe, woe is me!

Well, I met a man out in Hollywood

And I ain't namin' names

But he really worked me over good

Just like Jesse James

Yeah, he really worked me over good

He was a credit to his gender

He put me through some changes

Lord, sorta like a waring blender

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Oh, these boys won't let me be

Lord have mercy on me

Woe, woe is me!

Well, I met a boy in Vieux-Carres

Down in Yokohama

He picked me up and he threw me down

Sayin', "please don't hurt me, mama"

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Oh, these boys won't let me be

Lord have mercy on me

Woe, woe is me!

Poor, poor poor me!

Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor poor me!

Poor, poor pitiful me.

Poor, poor poor me!

Poor, poor pitiful me

Poor, poor poor me!

Poor, poor pitiful me."

Whistles were heard as Sango finished her song. Inu Yasha was amazed. She actually had a terrific voice as well. He looked over at Kagome to see her smiling widely, obviously proud of her friend. He then looked over to Miroku and they began to switch places.

Miroku then walked up to the mic as Sango went back to her keyboard and Kagome got another guitar.

"Thank you. This is the final song for us this evening. It's entitled 'When You Say Nothing at All.' Have a great evening everyone." He then nodded to Inu Yasha and then began.

"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word, you can light up the dark

Try as I may I could never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face let's me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

Yeah you say it best when you say nothing at all

Sin palabra tu hablas con mi corazon

Con tus besos me mueves a mi sin razon

No puedo saber por mas que quiera

Todo que oigo si no dices nada

Tu sonrisa dice que tu me necesitas

A velar en los ojos que nunca me dejas

Mi vida las manos me tocan y no tengo miedo

Tu hablas mejor con tu tranquilo amor

The smile on your face let's me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

Yeah you say it best when you say nothing at all"

The crowd was on their feet applauding loudly. The whole band bowed and walked offstage, the rush of being onstage still in them. Kagome rubbed her temples and put on a smile when Sango looked over. She was actually very tired and wanted nothing more to climb into her bed. Sango looked like she was ready to take on the town.

Inu Yasha saw Kagome though and suggested they all just rest tonight. 'She still must be tired.' They had to be on the road early in the morning so they all agreed. Kagome looked over at him with a look of gratitude. He nodded and they all headed back to the bus.

~*~Let's see now. Another Dumb Blonde by Hoku, Son of a Preacher Man by so many people, Poor, Poor Pitiful Me by a few people, and When You Say Nothing at All in this case by John Arthur Martinez. I love hearing that man sing. ::sigh:: Anywho, special shout out to KiiroiKotori for translating the Spanish for me. All I could find the lyrics in was English even though it sounds better half and half. Oh, and the accents wouldn't show up. Gomen!!! I tried… Ja ne!~*~
