"Are you ready to party!" "YEAH!!" Shouted a bunch of middle school kids. "Alright, then give it up for, the lovely, Shikon no tama!" Cheers erupted as a pretty woman stepped onto the stage.

"Hello, Inaho Middle School! First I'd like to say congradulations! You've been through alot, and have triumped, congradulations, on graduating!"
The audience cheered. "You know, a little while back, I was like you. I was trying to get through school, without making my parents angry and disappointed, and hey, don';t worry, to those who think they are disappointments, you are not." A few of the girls and guys looked up at the woman on stage. "Anyway, I think you want me to start the music doin't you?" "Yeah!" "Alright, heres a song I just finished writting, hope you like it." The woman got on stage.

The music started out soft then the song and the woman's voice began.

An angels smile is what you sell

You promise him heaven, then put him through hell

Chains of love got a hold on him

When passions a prison, you cant break free

Youre a loaded gun

Theres nowhere to run

No one can save him

The damage is done

Shot through the heart

And youre to blame

You give love a bad name

He plays his part and you play your game

You give love a bad name

You give love a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips

Blood red nails on your fingertips

A school boys dream, you act so shy

Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Youre a loaded gun

Theres nowhere to run

No one can save me

The damage is done

Shot through the heart

And youre to blame

You give love a bad name

He plays his part and you play your game

You give love a bad name

You give love a bad name

Youre a loaded gun

Theres nowhere to run

No one can save me

The damage is done

Shot through the heart

And youre to blame

You give love a bad name

He plays his part and you play your game

You give love a bad name

You give love a bad name

Yeah, you, oooh, oooh,

Yeah you give love

A bad, bad name.

The song ended and the woman bowed to the crowd, which was louder then many crowds she'd been surrounded by. "You liked that one huh? I'm glad you liked it, it as well as this next song will be on my new album coming this summer."

The music started up again and she sang another song.

Didnt I make you feel

Like you were the only man

And didnt I give you everything

That a woman possibly can

Each time I tell myself I think Ive had enough

Well Im gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough

So come on, come on, come on and

Take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my heart

I know you will

Break it

Break another little piece of my heart now baby

cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good

Youre out on the street lookin good

Baby deep down in your heart you know that it aint right

No youll never hear me cryin

You know I cry all the time

Each time I tell myself that I cant stand the pain

You hold me in your arms and I start singin once again

So come on, come on, come on and

Take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

I know you will

Break it

Break another little piece of my heart now baby

cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good

Each time I tell myself that I cant stand the pain

You hold me in your arms and I start singin once again

So come on, come on, come on

Take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

I know you will

Break it

Break another little piece of my heart now baby

cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good

Yeah, take it and break it,

Like you always do.

The song ended again and the woman decided to let the ceromony to continue before she sang anymore.

"Thank you, Shikon, those were simply lovely." The woman smiled and bowed as she headed for her dressing room, as the principal of her old middle school, continued the ceromony.

"Whew...what a crowd," She sighed as she sat down on the couch in her dressing room and took a sip of soda. She could remember being in that crowd a little while back.

The band that year had been Candy5, and she had been so thrilled that she'd passed her classes enough to graduate and be there for the ceromony.

"Ha...well...I did it, you didn't think those tests were important, but they are how I am here right now, in this dressing room, waiting to go back out there...hm?" There was a knock at the door.

"Ye..." The woman's voice went silent when she looked at another woman, who she resembled. "Ki...Kikyo...what are you doing here!" The other woman walked in and sat down.

"You, you are why I am here." "Come again? Wait! You're not going to try to kill me again...are you!" "No, though I so want to right now." "Then why are you..." "You have to go back to the fuedal era." "What did you..." "There is something wrong, I, if you can believe it, I am unable to even get close to...him, it's as if his soul has been ripped from his body, he just sits there like a bump on a log, staring into the well," "Why are you telling me this? If you and he had such a strong bond, you go and help him." The woman was angry and hurt, "You have no idea what life has been like for me! True I have my celebrity life, but if I could just forget what happened, I'd give it all up in an instant!" "Then give it up!" Shikon turned from the woman, Kikyo. "Get out." "Kagome, you know that you want to go back, what happened cannot hold you back anymore, and you know it." "GET OUT!!" Shikon threw a vase of flowers at an empty bit of wall space, then with tears in her eyes, Kagome slummped to the floor, and cried for a long time. "I can't go back...he doesn't want me to come back again! He said he didn't..." 'It's as if his soul has been ripped from his body. He just sits there like a bump on a log. Staring into the well.' "I don't understand this...I don't understand any of this anymore!" She cried, as the ceromony continued.
