A Battle of the Bands?
Kagome sat in her room listenining to the new song by SMIK. She tapped her pencil to the beat on her notebook sitting infront of her.
She herself, was trying to write a song for the band she was in, Vertigo. Both bands were frequently played on various radio stations and were serious musical rivals.
"That was SMIK with 'I hate everything about you.' And we've just gotten their new song... 'Points of Authority.' So in honor of... um... their new track! Here it is!" The radio d.j. said.
"Damn... They're getting better." Kagome muttered. She haad only listened to the opening notes, but she could tell.
"Okay.... I have to work on my song....." She said to herself after listening to the song for about a minute or so.She stood and walked over to her huge stereo, but before she could turn it off, the d.j. started talking again. "May as well listen to him..."
"Alright! Another awesome song by SMIK! Now here's the lates by everyones other favorite band. Vertigo. With 'Take Me Away.' "
Kagome smiled as she decided to listen to the song she and her friends had written, and hoped that the guys of SMIK were listening too.
She hummed along with the opening notes of the song then lightly began to sing along.
Get up, Get out
We're number one there's no doubt
I'm all wrong, you're right
It's all the same with you
I'm too fit, too fat
You miss squat
So why,
So why,
So why,
So why
On and on,
And on and on,
On and on,
And on and on,
Chorus
Don't want to grow up
I want to get out
Hey, take me away
I want to shout out
Take me away,
Away,
Away,
Away,
Away,
Round and round here we go again
Same old start, same old end
Turn my head
And turn back again
Same old stuff never ends
Do thid, do that
Can't deal Can't deal with that
I tune in, tune out
I've heard it all before
Hello, goodbye
Never asking me why,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
On and on,
And on and on,
On and on,
And on and on,
Don't want to grow up
I want to get out
Hey, take me away
I want to shout out
Take me away,
Away,
Away,
Away,
Away, On and on,
And on and on,
On and on,
And on and on,
Round and round here we go again
Same old story, same old end
Turn my head
And turn back again
Same old stuff never ends
Kagome switched the radio off when the song ended, and called her best friend, Sango.
"Sango, they just played our song on the radio!" She exclaimed.
"I know... I was listening too... You shut it off after our song...Right?"
"Yeah... Why...?"
"They talked about the upcoming concert... with all of the best bands.... and guess who's been added to the invite list..."
"Oh no... Why them... Why always them... I really hope it doesn't turn into a battle of the bands type thing..."
"Because they're just as popular as us... And whats the big deal about them playing our song? We've been being played on the radio for at least three months."
"I know, Sango... It's just I'm so happy... It makes me happy to hear our stuff on the radio!"
"I still feel that way to... Don't feel bad..." Sango laughed.
"Alright... Okay...What I really called for was to ask if you could call the rest of the gang, remind them of our practice tonight and make sure everyone has a song written."
" Okay. I'll do that."
"Thanks... I'll have my song done soon too..."
"Okay... Well I'll leave you to work on your song... I'll call the gang. "
"Alright. Thanks again..."
"No prob..."
And with that, they hung up. Sango, to call the other three members of the band. Kagome, to finish her song.
Each member of Vertigo had been told to write a song that they could preform solo, durring the previous practice. They didn't have to sing it solo, but they could if they wanted to. Really, the just needed more material.
"Right... Now what should my song be about...?" Kagome asked herself. She did that often. "Ha Ha!" She exclaimed, then scribbled down a line.
'Now I know I have to... run away...' It was the first line of many that came to her mind.
"HaHa! She exclaimed a few minutes later. "With plently of time to spare... I'll just go over early."
She found her purse and grabbed her binder that held the important band records and copies of all of their music. Each member had a binder like that. She grabbed her keys off of the hook and left for where they usually meet, Rin's house.
Rin and Shippo were the youngest of the five members. Shippo, being the only guy, was thought to be lucky by almost all other guys. Him stuck with four girls... Shippo just thought it normal. He had been hanging out with the girls as long as he could remember.
A few minutes later, she pulled into Rins driveway. She didn't bother knocking at the door. They'd been friends for so long, they were almost sisters.
She walked down the hall, then down the stairs where she figured everyone would be.
The only person who was in the base ment was her cousin.
"Hey Kikyo." Kagome said.
"Hi Kagome. " Kikyo was Kagome's cousin, but they looked somuch alike, they were often mistaken for twins. Kikyo's hair was longer than Kagome's though, and her style was different.
"Where's everone else?"
"Rin's in the shower. Sango's in the kitchen, and Shippo's not here yet." She told her.
"Oh...Okay... Did you finish your song?"
"Yeah. Does the whole song have to be done solo? There's some parts in mine that would sound better with more than one person singing."
"It doesn't have to be a solo at all. We just need more material. And the people want atleast a solo..."
"Okay... I can't wait to hear Shippo's. I saw the lyrics and it looked pretty cool!"
"So what's your song about? It's not another doomed lovers song is it?" Kagome asked. Kikyo's specialty was doomed love songs. It's not that people didnt like her songs. They just wanted new material from her.
"It's not a doomed love song. Don't worry. It's not really related to love at all.It's more like a song telling people that they can think what the ywant about em I don't really carewhat they think."
"Okay.. We haven't done one of those yet... Well... alright then"
"Is that Kagome I hear?" Sango asked from upstairs.
"Yeah.... She's only been here for atleast ten minutes." Kikyo said sasrcastically.
"Hey Sango. What's up?"
"A whole bunch of boredness... I can't beleive Shippos not here yet. He's normaly the first to get here." Sango said, making her way down the stairs.
"That's alright... We still ahve a half hour before we're supposed to start." Kikyo said.
"Hey you guys!" Rin said, running down the stairs.
"Hey Rin!"
"Hi..."
Kikyo didn't greet Rin, she had done that that morning when she got there. Normaly, Kikyo would have been the one to set up all of the stuff wherever they had decided to have practice at. But a few weeks ago they had decided that practice would always be at Rin's now.
"Ahhhh!" Shippo had just come in silently and was heading down the stairs. "Sorry I'm late you guy's!"
"Shippo... You're not late." Rin said.
"Yeah... You don't need to be here for about a half hour still..." Kagome added.
"So.. Why weren't you early?" Kikyo asked.
"I... had something to do..."
"Alright..." Sango said.
"So... Shall we get started?" Rin asked.
"Yeah..."
"Aight then"
They didn't have an instruement that they normaly played. they all knew how to play them, so they just picked one and played.
"So... Right... How are we going to do this?" Shippo asked.
"Okay... We all have to hear the songs, so we all know it and can see what may need changed... so... I guess we take turns and sing the songs we wrote." Kagome said.
"Who want's to go first?" Sango asked.
They sang their songs to eachother, made some modifications, then worked on writing the notes down. The whole process for all of the songs took a long time. They had only finnished writing down the music for two of the songs when the practice officially was supposed to end. They stayed an hour later each to contuinue working. It's not as if they had somewhere else to be. But eventually they did have to leave. It was getting late, and they wer egetting tired. If they kept working while they were tired, their work would be sloppy.
A/N::: So... I got really bored one day and had to start a song fic-ish thing.... it's not much of one yet... but it will be........and i'm not sure whether or not i'm going to end it after i get to the concert part. but yeahhhhh.... if you've eread my other stuff... you've noticed that i tend to get off task and start something but don't end it... so i decided i'd write about something i'm really into and maybe i could finsh it... don't worry... i'm not giving up on my other fics... and do you think i should change the title? please rate and reveiw.... thank you... ^_^
Disclaimer: the song was written by christina vidal and is called take me away... I dont own it, any other songs i will end up using or the inu yasha charectors......
