=D Get ready!


Chapter One: Meeting the Crew


I sit here day in and day out waiting for something to change. I am your normal sixteen year old high school student, I have a band and I want to make it big. I go to Shikon No Tama high school in Tokyo, Japan, with my four best friends. I am Kagome Higurashi, I have dark brown eyes and black mid-waist hair. Sango Honda, Rin Yuki, Ayame Hongo, and Yami Mori, they are my best friends and also my band mates. Our band is our life, it rules everything we do and is top priority; above family that is. Our band is Revenge for Raccoons, cool name huh? Right now I am waiting for them to come pick me up, in Yami's neon green Jeep Wrangler with black skulls with bows painted on it. It was Friday, our last day of school for a three day weekend and the end of school was just around the corner. I grab my messenger bag and my guitar case, then headed down stair to ruffle my little brother's hair before I slip on my shoes. I live on a shrine, Sunset Shrine to be exact, so I have to walk down a lot of steps to get to the sidewalk. I reached the last step just as I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin hit my ears, loudly. Yami skidded the jeep to a stop and popped out of the top, standing on the seat because she likes to be tall. She was waving like a mad women putting to the passenger seat, indicated that it was my turn to have shot gun. I ran to the other side of the street and hopped in, right away joining the chorus of voices singing the song.

It takes fifteen minutes to get to my school from my house by car, thirty if your walking. It's a smallish creative arts school, it focuses a lot on hands on learning. We listened to the radio all the way to school then put our iPods in our ears and walked in a line to the front of our school, the first one of us to talk was Rin.

"Our we ready for a fantastic day of school, then a sleep over and party at Yami's?" Rin asked excitedly with her hazel eyes sparking. Rin is the shortest of all of us, she is only about 5 feet and wears very bright and vivid clothing. She wears her light brown hair in a pixie cut with black low lights. Rin was our keyboardist, she is amazing and wacky with a keyboard in front of her. Yami rolled her eyes and continued walking towards the school, she was the bad ass of the group. She was always getting in trouble for one thing or another.

"I don't think it's much of a party if number one it's just us and number two we're practicing most of the time." Yami was our drummer, I think most of her attitude goes back to that. Her hair is very long, to her knee's long. It's blue black with neon green bangs and underneath, she wear heavy make-up and dark clothes. She is always carrying a pair of drum sticks in her hands and always tapping. She is 5 foot six inches and always complains about being short. Sango and Ayame were sharing earphones at the moment listen to Sango's new bass song for school, Ayame was banging her head happily half listening to Yami.

"Yami, you never want to invite anyone else, your anti-social.." I said laughing at her glaring face. Ayame giggled and pulled Sango earphone out of her ear, then skipped to Yami. Ayame had unusual red, straight hair, it use to be so nice…Until she cut it into that half frizzy straight scene hair cut. She looks good with it so I guess it works. Her eyes are a gorgeous green/blue color, and her neutral colored make up makes them pop. She is more of the greener one out of all of us. She wear earth tones and is always trying to plant a tree. Ayame is our random instrumentalist, she plays what ever we need her too. Like violin, guitar, banjo, saxophone, and many others (Her parents were music freaks). Ayame is the same height as me, 5 foot 4 inches and is a wolf demon. When she reached Yami, she kissed her on the cheek. Yami scowled and walked to her locker.

"What did I say about that? People are going to get the wrong idea and I'll never get a boyfriend." Yami scolded as she shoved books in her locker. Sango chuckled.

"You'll never get a boyfriend if you don't stop scaring all of them." Sango said making us all laugh, but Yami who blushed and growled. Sango was the tallest of us at 5 foot 10 inches. She has waist length dark brown hair with hot pink highlights. She wear guy like clothing. You know, like basket ball shorts and sweat pants, because she has gym and dance everyday. We had all the core same classes but math, in which Yami is in a higher math class. First period was Criminal Justice, they took it because it was an easy A for their junior year. They walk into their classes run and seat on top of the desk in the front of the room, they've had this teacher since freshman year and she loves them. "Hey, Mrs. W!" Sango said sitting on the teacher's desk. "You missed me right?"

"Yes, I missed your ass all over my desk, Sango." Mrs. W said pushing her off of the desk and on to the floor. Mrs. W is one of the most honest teachers, she tells you how it is and that is why we like her. The school bell rang and we sat in our seat and pulled out our perfect murder essay. We all look at Yami's whose is like ten pages long, her was probably the most detailed in the class because she is very violent. One of our close friends, Miruko Houshi, sat behind me, he poked me in the back. I turned around to look at him, he smiled and passed me a note.

'Can I come to the party tonight? I'll bring friends and alcohol! ;) ~M' One of the most important things in a teenagers life is booze, well not important but we like it. I wrote back a note telling him, that it was Yami's party ask her. Class was going smoothly, until the door was thrown open and the person we all hated rushed into the door. Inuyasha Tashio, he was a inu-hanyou, but that's not why we hated him. He was a jerk and thought he was better than us at everything. Music, dance, studying, and sports, though he wasn't at all, or at least from what we saw he wasn't. "I am so sorry, teacher." Inuyasha said out of breath, "My alarm didn't go off, my car wouldn't start and my cell phone was missing." I giggled, knowing that it was probably a prank played on him by his older half brother, Sesshomaru., who was another one of our good friends and a senior. Inuyasha handed Mrs. W his essay and took his seat next to Miruko and behind Yami. We watched Cased Closed the rest of class learning about, well nothing. The continued you on with much of nothing because finals were close and everyone was suppose to be studying outside of school. The next time they meet up again is independent music study in which basically they just play their on compositions and get graded for it. Kagome strummed on her guitar humming to the tune she was lightly playing.

"Can we all play One Girl Revolution?" Kagome asked plugging her guitar into the amp. Ayame pulls out a set of bongos and Yami plays along with her cymbals and bass drum, in joined Rin playing the keyboard to a bell like melody. Sango and Kagome started singing together.

'I wear a disguise

I'm just your average jane

The super doesn't stand for model

But that doesn't mean I'm plain

If all you see is how I look

You miss the superchick within

And I christen you titanic underestimate and swim

I've got the rifle gonna be myself

I've got the rifle gonna be myself

I've got the rifle gonna be myself

I've got the rifle gonna be myself

At this moment Kagome and Sango join in playing the bass and guitar with a rough sound and all the girls join in for the choruses.

[CHORUS]

I'll be everything that I want to be

I am confidence in insecurity

I am a voice yet waiting to be heard

I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world

And I'm a one girl revolution [x3]

Some people see the revolution but most only see the girl

I can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world

I declare my independence from the critics and their stones

I can find my revolution I can learn to stand alone...

[CHORUS]

I'll be everything that I want to be

I am confidence in insecurity

I am a voice yet waiting to be heard

I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world...

And I'm a one girl revolution [x3]

I'm a one girl revolution

I'm a one girl revolution

And I'm a one girl revolution

[CHORUS]

I'll be everything that I want to be

I am confidence in insecurity

I am a voice yet waiting to be heard

I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world

[CHORUS]

everything that I want to be

I am confidence in insecurity

I am a voice yet waiting to be heard

I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world'

Their teacher and the rest of the class starts clapping once they stop playing. Kagome and Sango panting from singing. (If you want to hear the real girls do it, I'll link it on my home page. That how I picture Sango and Kagome singing.) Yami hopped over the school drum set to let another student have a turn from the rest of class. Rin packed up her keyboard into it's case and Ayame gave the bongos back to their teacher. The boy who took over the drums was Koga Ookami, a wolf demon who has a thing for Kagome. Kagome didn't like his cocky rich ass attitude. Kagome drank some water and took out a notebook and wrote something down in it. Sango all but passed out on the floor panting, she always said music took more energy out of her then running five miles in thirty minutes. Which for all you un-sporty people like me, that's like near impossible or your just really good at running. The school bell rang and the group head to get their lunch, then go to the art room to work on a project for English class. "So, I think we should all head home, call and invite random people while we're packing. Then go to Yami's house at like six with our bags and ready to PAR-TAE!" I said a little hyper after eating, which I usually was after lunch. I think it is because I don't eat until lunch and it is all the sugar at once. Yami wasn't thrilled with the ideal of having strangers in her house, even with her there. We had to go to English as soon as we convinced Yami it was a good idea to have a change in pace. English is our elective language and boy is it hard. There was so many different rules to it, then there was contradictions to those rules. Like, I before E except after C, when in god's green earth am I going to really need to know that? I don't plan on going to America and I could care less about the tourist that come here.

Once school was over Yami dropped me off at my house and I had to start my plans for the big night ahead. Party, practicing and alcohol! The first thing I have to do is call Miruko and tell him it is a go for the booze and his friends…

So, the school and most of the teacher are based off of my school, Avon Grove Charter School.

Yami Mori is based off of me, so that is why she is not in the tv or manga series. Her name means darkness forest. Forest of Darkness.

Anyway, first chapter with more to come. If you like review and add it to your alert list.

Much love,
