A/N: I'm sooo sorry guys but I've been spelling Sesshomaru totally wrong and I didn't even realize until all of the reviews this time. Please forgive me for mistaking it. I really am sorry!!! Thanks for all the reviews even though I can't spell worth anything!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha... sadly, like the rest of the people writing fanfictions on BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND

Chapter Five

PLAYING AT THE GIG

Once back from the movies, InuYasha scrambled about the house, trying to perfect himself into the real him instead of the stiff he put up when everybody the Sesshomaru new came around with their fancy little suits that cost more than a freaking car at some points. His hair was messy and thrown about while his pants were torn and faded and his shoes were little comfortable vans that were cool and easy to like.

Meanwhile, Ayame decided to have a talk with Sesshomaru...

"Why?" Ayame's voice was cold and distant.

Sesshomaru put down the novel he was reading and looked up at the rusty-haired wolf demon. His brows furrowed, a simple sign that he was confused, "Why what?"

"Why didn't you bust them?" her eyes narrowed.

Sesshomaru pecked off his thin reading glasses and folding them, sitting them on the maple wood coffee table before him. Playing stupid wasn't about to last longer, "Bust who? And why?"

"You know very well bust who! Why didn't you bust InuYasha for messing with Kagome?! I knew you could smell it! I did too! It was strong and fresh. His scent was all over her and her scent was all over him. You know what I'm talking about." Ayame accused, folding her hands over her chest. "I'm not trying to be the bitch and tattle tale, I just wanted to know why you didn't beat the shit out of him and break it off with her."

"You want to know why?" Sesshomaru asked and Ayame nodded her rust colored mane, "It's because of trust. Though it may appear that I hate InuYasha, he is my little half brother and I'm willing to do anything for him, even die for him. If he makes a mistake with Kagome, that's his business and if he's a true little half brother, he will confess. I trust him to stop and confess because... well, that's what brother's do because they figure out they did wrong. He is bound to confess at one point or another."

"Of course, but what if it's at the wrong time at such a short amount of time before something happens, and you love Kagome." Ayame was shocked by his warmth as a big brother.

"Very true, and something is about to happen so that fling they had today will be just another piece of time, and lost in the thick lines of history." Sesshomaru answered.

Ayame smirked, "You read too many novels."

"Really?" he also smirked.

"Yeah, you sissy." she answered.

"All right come here!" Sesshomaru launched up playfully and Ayame giggled as she ran out the door.

"No! No! No! No! HELP!" Ayame screamed/giggled at the same time since they were only playing.

----------------------------------------- At Kagura's Bar And Grill

"Koga have you seen my guitar?" InuYasha asked, scoping the room for his prized possession. "I just can't seem to find her! I can't believe Baby's gone missing again!"

"InuYasha, calm down, I'm sure baby's fine." Koga assured as he also looked around the room, "Somewhere... Hey, do you hear her tune? It sounds like baby but who would be touching -"

"MIROKU YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD! GIMME BABY BACK!" InuYasha screamed as he took off running towards the lovely sounds of music. Anybody could point out Baby's distant sound from miles, she wasn't just no regular guitar, no sir! Baby was truly one of a kind and belonged to InuYasha's father in past time. Had InuYasha not dug it up from the piles of boxes going to be thrown away, she'd be in the disposal years ago.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Miroku's yell was heard as he ran, Baby was still locked securely in his tight arms. InuYasha sprinted after him out of the backstage room. One on side of an overstuffed couch was Miroku, the other side held InuYasha.

"Miroku," InuYasha stated calmly to the heavily panting boy whose eyes were wide with fear, "Just put the guitar down and step away, then everything will be forgotten."

"No it won't, you'll put me in a headlock for five whole minutes." Miroku snobbed.

"So?" InuYasha asked, confused.

"So no deal." Miroku answered, running his long fingers against the smooth and shiny guitar.

"Fine, no headlocks or anything, just to see Baby safe in my arms is simply enough. Please Miroku, consider how I'm feeling. My desperate heart is at a mere stage of sizzling and not yet even cracked, image the suffering, pain, and agony that's pumping through my veins at this very moment." InuYasha reasoned.

"Hmmmmmm..." Miroku pondered, "Throw in five bucks and you got a deal."

Miroku extended his arm, awaiting his cheery money with a giddy smile when InuYasha grabbed his hand and began to crush it with demon strength. "Listen up Miroku this is how it goes, touch Baby again and die." he applied more pressed making Miroku's knees slightly fold a bit but not enough to make him hit his knees as his face scrunched up. "And never trust a demon. Oh yeah, and never try to pull shitty deals over on me."

Finally, with much greatness InuYasha released Miroku's red sore, pounding hand as Miroku got upon his feet properly this time. InuYasha slid his golden orbs so it took in the form of the digital clock. Only ten minutes were left before he was to play upon the stage with Miroku and Koga. He now realized he shouldn't have grabbed Miroku's hand like that. "Hey man, can you still manage to play the base?"

"Always and forever." Miroku examined his slightly swollen hand, "It should go away in a few."

"I hope so since idiot had to go and almost break it." Koga scuffed and spun his light wooden drum sticks with his fingers, bored and watching the two.

"I keep forgetting he's only human." InuYasha scratched the back of his head nervously. "Are you sure? You're hand looks pretty bad."

"Eh, forget it. We've got a show to watch." Miroku plastered a smile on his face. His hand hurt like hell and he wasn't quite sure when it'd go away. It didn't seem like he could wash away the pain, it was simply there tormenting him. He could both feel and hear the pulse in his hand. InuYasha didn't mean it and everybody was use to his temper tantrums by now so he could just suck it up. InuYasha would have never seriously hurt his hand.

InuYasha kept a wary eye on Miroku. He could tell his hand hurt, his feelings floated in the air. He could smell the fact that it hurt horribly and he was just trying to push himself, as to not disappoint the band. Now he really felt bad, what if Miroku really was hurt? Feeling a hand on his shoulder he spun around to see Koga's intense blue gaze. He felt so vulnerable against Koga at this very moment, seeing as Koga had kept control of his inner demon. "Shouldn't we go out on stage now? Miroku said himself he's perfectly fine."

"Yeah." Miroku answered quickly.

Koga sighed, he didn't want to be the mean person but the show must go on. He had to give Miroku, though full human and not as powerful, props. Miroku had always been known to hold his own and suck things up, growing up around InuYasha and Koga it was a must. InuYasha simply nodded, silver strands leaping into his face. He picked up his tuned guitar and threw it over his hand so the strap was resting on him, "Right, let's go guys."

The three of them walked out on stage and observed the crowd. InuYasha's eyes flung straight to the ebony haired woman he was searching for. She stood with her brunette friend, Sango, and his family. Ayame seemed to be watching the eye connection between him and Kagome so he quickly looked at her and smiled. He knew she couldn't believe he'd been so bold to stare at Kagome in front of Sesshomaru.

Not wanted to be mean Ayame smiled back and winked in a sort of 'Yeah, I won't tell anybody else' way. He nodded slightly and looked back at the band, "So what are we playing?"

"I thought you said we were playing Fake." Miroku answered.

"No way, he said 'Everything I Knew' you dope." Koga growled.

"But I don't feel like playin that." Miroku whined.

"Than we all say a song name on three, ready... ONE... TWO... THREE!" InuYasha called.

"Art of losing." Koga quickly said.

"Crash and Burn." Miroku chimed.

"Last Summer." InuYasha said in unison.

"We're doing Art of Losing." Koga folded his hands across his chest.

"Says who?" InuYasha snarled.

"Me!" quickly he jumped on the drums and started playing so the other band members were left venting their anger at the jerk of whom had no other option than to go along. The song started out with a few pounding, hard slams on the drum set before the guitar kicked in and base and Miroku and InuYasha sang "whoa's".

Still angered yet jerking the microphone upon his lips InuYasha began to sing and the room seemed to have all eyes on the band. Shaking his head free of worry he began to sing the song, all the while looking around the room.

"Last call and I'm outta time,

And I don't got no Valentine,

Singled out, now I stand alone,

The underdog in a modern world.

Suburbia is hot tonight,

But nothing seems to feel alright,

I don't want your sympathy,

I just need a little therapy,

At least that's what they say to me.

Hey ho, let's go!

I'm gonna start a riot,

You don't wanna fight it.

One, two, fuck you!

Don't tell me what to do,

I don't wanna be like you!

Can't you see, it's killing me,

I'm my own worst enemy.

Knock me down I'll keep on moving,

That's the art of losing."

His amber eyes clashed with mud brown and he recognized the girl named Sango at once. Silently and full of hope, he wondered if Kagome would be spotted in this very place too. And that's when he saw her walk up with two Pepsi's in her slender fingers and handing one to Sango, of whom gratefully opened and downed quickly. He watched as they chatted a bit and Sango scowled a bit before averting her eyes and looking at InuYasha, a shocked expression clearly readable upon her face. Kagome looked forward though and waved a bit at the boy who was quietly watching the two mingle. Than she gave him a thumbs up and a short giggle.

InuYasha couldn't help but smile, nod, and wink at her before continuing on with the chosen song that 'oh-so-dear-and-wonderful' Koga chose.

"Fit the mold and do what you're told,

Get a job and start growing old,

9 to 5 can make your dreams come true,

But I don't wanna be like you.

I break the rules and I garentee,

I don't want your sympathy,

I just need a little therapy,

At least that's what they say to me.

Hey ho, let's go!

I'm gonna start a riot,

You don't wanna fight it.

One, two, fuck you!

Don't tell me what to do,

I don't wanna be like you!

Can't you see, it's killing me,

I'm my own worst enemy.

Knock me down I'll keep on moving,

That's the art of losing!" And than he brought his dreamy voice down to a whisper but sang just as wonderful and seemed to have almost the exact same effect on the crowd, they loved it,

"You call me a loser,

You say I'm just a user,

But I'll just keep on moving,

Cause that's the art of losing!

Hey ho, let's go!

I'm gonna start a riot,

You don't wanna fight it.

One, two, fuck you!

Don't tell me what to do,

I don't wanna be like you!

Can't you see, it's killing me,

I'm my own worst enemy.

Knock me down I'll keep on moving,

That's the art of losing!

Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing),

Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing)."

Once again, InuYasha and Miroku sang that part before both began to jump up and done while yelling and ending up to get a large portion of the crowd jumping with their devil horns, a.k.a. rock on finger motions, pointed towards the roof. In fact, only a small iota weren't jumping and singing along at the last part after catching on after the second time they repeated it. By this time all band member's held large, proud smiles.

"We're the kids,

We're the kids,

We're the kids in America!

We're the kids,

We're the kids,

We're the kids in America!"

Loud claps echoed throughout the building and InuYasha was sure everybody enjoyed the few moments that the song had been playing. The burgundy curtains flowed in front of the band as the cries of pure pleasure that the song had caused still rang out loud and clear. Each member grabbed a water bottle and Koga smirked, "See, I did pick a good song. Everybody out there liked it; just hear those cries for an encore! And you guys doubted me and my choice? My choice is always right, face it boys, when it comes to winning something, my choice is always correct."

"Can't say the same about your school work." InuYasha snickered and Koga's cocky smirk fell off of his face. Miroku let out a thundering laugh, not being able to handle it any longer.

An icy glare from Koga was enough to shut that glare up.

"Hey, great concert guys." Kagome said, walking in the room with Sango and Ayame, not to mention Sesshomaru tagging along with her.

"Great song choice." Ayame nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just that damn good at picking songs." InuYasha shrugged.

"You little bastard! You didn't pick the song!" Koga boomed.

"Geez, chill, I was joking." InuYasha shrugged and turned his back towards Koga and his face towards the girls as he mouthed the words, 'no, I wasn't'.

"Hey, ramen noodles!" InuYasha quickly grabbed a full and shoved and slurped it all down miraculously without a second thought nor breath. Sango noticeably cringed at her so called 'new-found crush' and his didn't pass Kagome's eyes for one tiny second as she bit her plump bottem pink lip, strands of raven colored hair draping over her face calmly covering her forehead, she wouldn't dare give up her bangs, ever!

"Uhhh..." Kagome said, searching the room for some sort of new topic.

"Shit, I spilt some!" InuYasha let out a string of such profanity I wouldn't go into description. Let's just say he had the most colorful vocabulary Kagome had ever, in all the years of her young life, heard. Apparently, it was a ditto with Sango as her eyes bulged, jaw dropped, and cheeks a deep blushing red color.

"Hey, you might wanna shut your mouth, you'll check a whole hell of a lot of flies with your jaw dropped that low." InuYasha pointed out and Sango snapped her jaw strictly back up and shook her head clear.

"Pardon his French." Miroku winked at Sango, who rolled her eyes and turned away, used to that type of guy. The kind of pervert that always hits on anything that walked.

"So, um, you guys should so totally celebrate!" Kagome commented.

"PARTY!!!" The band wooted.

"Uh, is this band Papercut?" A woman with long flowing hair and an amazing figure asked. She looked remarkably like Kagome, save for the boob job. "My name's Kikyo, and I would like to be your manager!"

"Hey, don't I know you-"Ayame started.

"No." Kikyo snapped.

"Uh, okay? Geez." Ayame mumbled.

"Yes, we are Papercut. Why do you want to manage us?" InuYasha asked, skeptically.

"Because, duh, you guys totally rock!" Kikyo batted her long, thick, dark eyelashes at InuYasha and Kagome felt a surge of energy and anger kick into her. What was this? Jealousy? InuYasha could have her, she could have InuYasha. InuYasha didn't have a girlfriend after all but... still... It just didn't seem right for another girl to be flirting with him, and in front of Kagome herself?! The nerve!

"Uh, okay. Maybe we could all meet up sometime and get this whole thing done?" InuYasha suggested.

"Great. Tomorrow at four. Meet me right here. I'll be waiting." she said the last part seductively and making Kagome want to jump on her and kill her horribly. Than she mentally cursed herself for having such thoughts over a boy. Let alone a boy of whom is her boyfriend's brother. And that was all she should see him as. Her boyfriend's little brother. A brother-in-law. Perhaps a brother to her also.

"Well, it was nice talking but I must jet." Kikyo pouted, checking a digital clock on the wall. "Don't forget. I guess I will see you than later!"

With a short wave, Kikyo was gone.

InuYasha walked out of the room, still high-strung from the kiss. "I'm going to get some fresh air."

"Me too!" Kagome jogged up with him, "Don't mind me, just wanted some air and maybe a short talk with you about, uhh... about that thing."

"I was afraid of that." InuYasha sighed, leaning against a railing that was on a deck thing, out of hearing length of the other rooms. "Listen Kagome. I don't know exactly what happened, all I know is that I don't regret it. I know, its a sin and all, but I really liked it. Truthfully, I don't want to pretend it didn't happen."

"Well, I don't want to either. But we have to, for Sesshomaru's sake and-"

InuYasha swept his lips down and caught hers. She closed her eyes and slipped her arms around InuYasha's neck, deepening the kiss. InuYasha than pulled back. "Kagome... If you just dumped him we could have a thousand of those. I know, I know, this sounds so sappy... but I dunno."

"I can't. I'm sorry. Sesshomaru and all... I couldn't... I really am sorry." Kagome bit her bottom pink lip, eyes wide with sorrow and guilt.

Letting out a short laugh, InuYasha smiled. "Don't be sorry when you didn't do anything to me you have to be sorry about. In fact, I should be saying sorry to you."

"Apology accepted." Kagome smiled.

"I said I should, I never said I was." InuYasha pointed out stubbornly.

"How rude!" Kagome pouted.

"Com'mon. Let's get you back to your fiancé dry." InuYasha winked.

"Okay well-HEY! I got that secret meaning InuYasha you pervert! That's so sick! That's that's –that's... EW! You pervert! I can't believe you just... EW!" Kagome shook her head, disgusted.

InuYasha laughed, tilting his head back and just enjoying this all. He held a hand out, "Wait."

"What?" Kagome asked, a bit of fear tingling at her.

He reached in his back pocket and pulled out a small green bottle with a deer on the front. He squirted it over Kagome and than himself. "Scent away, can't have people catching us now can we?"

Kagome's eye's went wide. "Oh my gosh InuYasha! We hadn't used scent remover before! Do you think Sesshomaru had smelt you on me?"

"Most likely unless he was so busy he didn't pick up on it." InuYasha concluded. "Besides, if he would've found out, he wouldda beat the hell out of me by now."

Kagome sighed. "This is so wrong. We can't keep kissing, InuYasha, it's just not fair to Sesshomaru. And we can't risk getting caught."

"Fine." he said stiffly.

"InuYasha, you gotta understand-"

"I understand perfectly well. Let's get ya back to Sesshomaru." InuYasha replied icily.

Kagome shook her head, might as well get back. She didn't want to hurt his feelings but Sesshomaru was her boyfriend and InuYasha just wasn't. Also, it frightened her that he had such an effect on her with just a kiss. She didn't want to become that vulnerable, it didn't feel right. Sure, InuYasha was angry, but Sesshomaru had told her of his temper before, and due to what he had said, InuYasha would hold a grudge, but not if it was a friend that was a girl. He was just too, deep down, caring for his friends which was his ultimate weakness.

They entered back into the original room and InuYasha picked up a set of keys and tossed them to Miroku. "Alright boys, are you ready to jet?"

"Always." the both answered in unison, getting up.

"Great, let's get outta here. See ya guys." InuYasha waved back at the remaining members before leading Koga and Miroku out doors to the parking lot.

Kagome watched his retreating figure. She had Sesshomaru, she loved him. So why did it feel so wrong for InuYasha to just leave her like that? It didn't make sense, but –than again – what did make sense now a days? Did anything even make sense now? Everything is just so damn confusing. Kagome felt a hand slip around her waist and her troubled eyes looked up to Sesshomaru. She smiled back weakly and fell into the embrace. Silently and oddly, she wished it would have been InuYasha holding her, but that was just plain wrong.

"Why don't we leave now?" Kagome asked, looking back up at Sesshomaru.

"Okay." Sesshomaru answered. "Let's say you ride with me and Sango can ride with Ayame. Dad can just ride by himself, right dad?"

"Sure, leave the old man by himself. Don't feel bad at all. In fact, it's completely normal if I start singing Here I Go Again by Whitesnake." InuTashio pouted like a child.

"Are—" Kagome started.

"He'll be fine." Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.

Kagome giggled, "Okay than."
