The Song Book
I've had this idea for a long time now. It's just the first time I've been able to do something about it. I hope you like the story!
"Hey Inuyasha, would you help me with my bag?" Kagome asked from the well. "Feh, sure." he replied, taking the big yellow bag. "Thanks." she said pulling herself out of the well, "I have to tell Kaede something important, so could you take my bag to the village? It weighs me down so I can't run as fast."
Without waiting for an answer Kagome took off towards the village. "Damn wench." Inuyasha mumbled, "I should get something for this. I'm not a delivery boy." He started towards the village.
"Wait..." Inuyasha said aloud. He stopped and put the bag on the ground. Then he opened it and began to rummage around. Inuyasha pulled out a slim spiral bound book and read the front. "Choral Concert." It read, "Disney Theme" At the bottom was Kagome's name. Inside the spiral was a pencil.
He grinned and pulled it out. Inuyasha opened the book to the first song. Could he change the lyrics? It was worth a try.
The first song was one called Part of this World. "This will be fun." Inuyasha said, putting the pencil the the page.
Part of This World
On This Side of the Well He wrote. The title was easy enough to change.
Look at this stuff
Look at these ears. This would be all about him, Inuyasha. The best hanyou to grace the planet. Isn't it neat?
Aren't they neat? Inuyasha didn't think so, but everyone else did, so he wrote it down.
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'd keep em' nice and clean? It wasn't the best, but he couldn't think of anything else.
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
Wouldn't you think I'm the hanyou? Logical change.
The girl who has ev'rything?
The hanyou who wins every battle? Inuyasha, being as vain as he was, couldn't resist putting it down.
Look at this trove
Look at these toes He had no clue what a trove was, but it sort of sounded like toes. Inuyasha's toes weren't normal so he guessed it was okay.
Treasures untold
Sharper than my nose In a way they were.
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
How many wonders can one hanyou hold? Once again, it was the logical choice.
Lookin' around here you'd think
Lookin' over me you'd think It didn't really work well, but it sort of worked at the same time. Inuyasha would have to change the point of the song, but just a little bit.
Sure, she's got everything
Sure, he's got everything Logical choices again.
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got strength and temper aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
I've got allies and enemies galore
You want thingamabob?
You want to stay alive?
I got twenty
Better run fast
But who cares?
But who cares? That could stay. It wasn't true. Plenty of people would care if their life was in danger. But it worked.
No big deal
No big deal Once again. It was a big deal.
I want more
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna be where Kagome is Inuyasha put this down without thinking. It was truer than true.
I wanna see
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancin'
Wanna see 'er shopping It seemed like in Kagome's time, she did a lot of this. Inuyasha really didn't care if she was shopping. Just if he could see her.
Walkin' around on those
Ridin' around in those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh – feet
Whad'ya call 'em? Oh - cars Kagome had told him about them once. They sounded amazing. And would come in handy for searching for the jewel shards.
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Runn'in around you don't get too far Inuyasha could go a lot faster than most people on his feet, but he always wished he was faster
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Trains are required for travl'in, search'in Another modern marvel Kagome had told him about. Inuyasha had promised himself that one day he would try out all these inventions.
Strollin' along down a
Look'in around for that
What's that word again? street
What's that damn jewel's name again? The Shikon no Tama It was a little longer than the original words, but it worked... sort of.
Up where they walk
Up where she lives
Up where they talk
Up where she had weird friends. Inuyasha had seen Kagome's friends once. They were strange. Very strange.
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Up where she stays all day in that school He still didn't understand why Kagome would want to go to school.
Wanderin' free
Wast'in jewel searching time
Wish I could be
Wish she was here
Part of that world
On this side of the well
What would I give
What would I give He kept it.
If I could live
If she could live Just a little change there.
Outta these waters?
On this side?
What would I pay
What would I pay Inuyasha kept this one too.
To spend a day
To have her spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Here next to me?
Betcha on land
Betcha right here
They understand
She'd have more fun
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Where she doesn't have to take lotsa tests
Bright young women
Bright young woman That pretty much stayed. Inuyasha did think Kagome was smart, at times.
Sick o' swimmin'
Gotta start look'in
Ready to stand
For the damn jewel
And ready to know what the people know
And ready to spend lot'sa time with me
Ask 'em my questions
Look'in and searching
And get some answers
For all those damn shards
What's a fire and why does it
What's a tv and why does it? Kagome had told him about an invention called the TV once. Inuyasha still didn't get how a million little people could fit in one small box.
What's the word? burn?
Kagome could tell me! And she could.
When's it my turn?
When's it my turn? That stayed
Wouldn't I love
Wouldn't I love So did that.
Love to explore that shore above?
Love to have her spend time with me!
Out of the sea
Out of the well
Wish I could be
Wish she could be
Part of that world
On this side of the well
Inuyasha read over his new and improved song. He liked it. "Inuyasha!" he heard Kagome yell. Quickly he slipped the song book into his over shirt and continued to the village. Inuyasha would play with more of the songs later.
Clear Waters: There. A new story! How did you like it?
Inuyasha: Not bad... I could be a song writer when I grow up!
Kagome: Inuyasha. You're like 75 years old. You are grown up.
Inuyasha: You're ruining my fun.
Kagome: Whatever.
Clear Waters: More of Inuyasha's songs in the next chapter. R&R everyone!
