Miranda: Ha… Well… Sorry this took so long /hugs Jin/

"I heard you were playin' in a band and I wanted to come check ya guys out," Jin smiled and looked at Rhea. "You must be the pretty singer."

Rhea looked around, "Why would you say that?"

Kurama bowed his head in a small chuckle, "Hands off, Jin." He put his arms possessively around Rhea's waist from behind, his chin resting on the top of her head.

"It's nice to know you're not going to hand me off," Rhea said sarcastically as she looked at Kurama and then Jin. "Umm… Are you guys related?"

Jin busted out laughing as Kurama blushed slightly, "You haven't answered me, Jin; what are you doing here? I'm afraid Yusuke isn't here with us…"

"You must be on crack or something, Kurama!" Rhea told him.

Jin laughed again, "I came to see you perform."

Kurama startled by Rhea, asked, "Um, why must I be on crack?"

"You're on crack because I say so!" Rhea pouted.

Kurama shook his head and looked back to Jin, "I'm afraid, Jin, we're done for the night, unless the other three want to sing another song…"

"Oh dammit, I missed it?!" Jin shouted in disappointment.

"Uhg, Jin's here…" Hiei growled.

Miranda looked up to Hiei, "How can you tell?"

Hiei gestured to the bar, "The two puffs of red hair."

Miranda giggled, "Jin rocks dude, I wanna go see him!"

Hiei rolled his eyes, "Ok." He let Miranda walk in front of him to the bar.

Rhea was replying to Jin's outburst, "Yes, you missed it…"

Miranda walked up and heard Rhea, "Missed what?"

Rhea turned and smiled to Miranda, "He came to see us perform."

"That sucks, when's the next gig?" Jin asked.

"Hell if I knew!" Rhea glared at Kurama.

Miranda's eyes lit up, "There's no one on the stage, and they say anyone can do karaoke free, so we'll just do a song now!"

Hiei echoed Rhea in their outburst, "WHAT?!"

Jin followed with, "REALLY?!"

Miranda smiled, "Don't you think it would be a good idea? Jin seems to like it!"

"NO!" Rhea shouted.

"Aw, com'on Rhea, have a heart!" Jin whined and looked down at Rhea.

Miranda's eyes began to shine, this time with tears; her lower lip trembled, "Please?"

"What heart?" Rhea growled, looking up at Jin. "YO, EYES UP HERE!" she pointed to her face, "You wanna look at someone, look at Miranda."

"Jin…" Kurama squeezed in his warning tone.

"Okay," Jin turned to her, but only for a split second.

"I don't want to perform a song for a crazy Irish drunk!" Hiei growled.

Jin turned to Hiei, "I'M NOT DRUNK!"

"STOP IT, ALL OF YOU!" Miranda's shrill scream exploded. Rhea hid behind Kurama as Jin whispered an apology while Hiei didn't even budge. Miranda's eyes were on fire as she spoke in a murderous tone, "We're gonna sing Into the Ocean, by Blue October; and NO COMPLAINTS!" She paused, "Questions?"

Rhea raised her hand from behind Kurama, "Yeah! I don't KNOW that song. I've heard of the band but not their music; they sound like depressed chicks that just got kicked in the ass by their boyfriends."

Hiei smothered a laugh.

Miranda's eyes glared more murderously as she turned to Rhea, "I KNOW you didn't just say something."

"Hey, I'M the one who sings!" Rhea retorted.

"If you haven't noticed, I sing with you!" Miranda replied angrily.

Hiei backed away from Miranda softly.

Rhea's anger boiled inside her, "YOU ARE BACKUP AND PIANO! ALL I CAN DO IS SIND AND I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE, LET ALONE, KNOW IT!"

Jin was following Hiei's example.

Miranda got in Rhea's face with a cold tone, "Your damn suggestion then?"

Rhea couldn't help but give a small, toothy grin, "Let's sing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen."

"Hell fucking no!" Miranda shouted.

"Why not," Rhea questioned.

Miranda huffed, "Because I can't sing that Mamma Mia part. But…"

"I know Kurama can do that part," Rhea looked at Kurama tauntingly like it was funny. "Besides, the whole band sings half of that song."

"I'm NOT singing!" Hiei growled.

"Tee-hee, Hiei could sing Man on Fire…" Miranda fantasized.

"I DON'T sing! Besides, Rhea IS the lead singer," Hiei groaned again.

"God, thank you!" Rhea appreciated Hiei's support then glared at Kurama who wasn't helping at all.

Kurama eased back slightly, "What did I do?"

Miranda pouted in Hiei's face as she leaned forward slightly, "Please?"

"This is ridiculous, if you want someone else to sing a song, count me fucking out!" Rhea hissed then walked off.

"No," Hiei replied shortly. "Rhea's already pissed and she'll try to kill me."

"Oh well, I was just kidding…" Miranda sighed wearily.

"I think someone should go apologize to her…" Jin interrupted the off balance.

Hiei twitched, "…I'm not singing…"

Miranda looked around and realized Rhea had actually left and ran after Rhea, "Wait!"

Rhea slammed the back door shut as she went outside and climbed half way up the city bar's fire escape. She pulled a lighter out of her back pocket and flicked it on and drew her finger around and through the specious flame. Miranda muttered something when she caught up to Rhea as she hiked up her already short skirt and climbed up after her; she gasped as she got onto the miniature platform and saw Rhea's lighter.

"Yeah… now all I need is a cigarette and you'll fall off the ladder and break your little skull… Too bad I can't smoke…" Rhea answered still a little fired up.

"Gee, thanks," Miranda said sarcastically.

Rhea didn't reply; she stared into the flame, leaving her finger in the middle of it for a long while.

Miranda muttered something before embracing Rhea in a hug, "Stop it, okay?" She crushed Rhea to her, "You're scaring me…" she whispered, eyes shining.

Rhea stayed still for a moment, "…Fine…" She put the lighter back into her pocket. Miranda breathed a sigh of relief as she continued to crush Rhea to her slightly longer than she really should have. "…I can't breathe anymore…" Rhea grunted after a while.

Miranda blushed with embarrassment, "Sorry. Let's go…" Miranda walked away unsteadily.

"MIRANDA!" Rhea shouted after her.

Miranda paused and turned back, "Um, yeah?"

Rhea smashed her hand into her face, "You almost fell off of the side of the fire escape…"

Miranda giggled, "Oh, oops…"

Rhea shook her head as she stood up.

"…I hate women…" Hiei growled now that he was safely around all men.

"Aye, but they're so fuckin' awesome to watch when they're mad at each other," Jin agreed perversely.

"I have half a mind that they're busting each other's heads into the wall in the bathroom or something," Hiei continued dementedly.

Jin twitched, "…That's dangerous…"

"I wonder if they've killed each other by now…" the unexpected Kurama jumped in.

They sat in silence for a moment; each thinking of their own perverted fantasy fight. "Maybe we should go find them…" Hiei said after a while.

"I hope Rhea won…" Jin subconsciously added.

"If she won," Kurama replied to Jin wearily, "Miranda is currently a bloody smear on the wall somewhere…"

Kurama's words worried Hiei. "We're going to find them, now!" He started dragging Kurama towards the girl's bathroom.

Kurama tried little to stop Hiei, "I am NOT going in there."

"…We don't have to," Hiei looked at Jin.

"Okay!" Jin got all excited about busting into a girl's bathroom.

"See?" Hiei solved their problem.

Jin walked into the girl's bathroom and came out a few seconds later with a tube of lipstick smeared all over his face, "They weren't in there…"

Kurama hid a snort in his hand.

"Then where are they?" Hiei growled.

"Hell if I know," Kurama shrugged.

Jin thought for a moment, "They could be in the alley, no one would catch them busting up each other there…"

Hiei dragged Kurama to the back door.

Miranda paused as they finished getting back down the fire escape and to the doors when she turned around to face Rhea, "Rhea? Can I ask you something?"

Rhea didn't stir from her mental slumber, "Yeah, what?"

-Please let them be in a cat fight…- Jin prayed.

Miranda hesitated, "Do you love Kurama?"

Rhea twitched, "Why the HELL is everyone asking me that question!?" Hiei flinched to Rhea's shouting as Kurama stopped thunderstruck; he had heard what Miranda said as well. "I want to sing Don't Stop Me Now, Let's go!" Rhea swung open the door and it hit Hiei right in the face and he went flying. Rhea's eyes widened, "Oops…" then she looked at Kurama, "Oh god…"

"This is some good comedy," Jin greeted them.

Miranda had a crushed face, "But… I want to ask you something…"

"You just did," Rhea groaned then closed the door again to avoid Kurama. "What is it?"

Miranda turned away from Rhea, "Do… you… love me?"

"Uh, duh, of course I do; you're my best friend," Rhea said like she had been repeating herself several times.

"No, I know that," Miranda almost mumbled, "But I guess I'm talking about… a different kind of love…"

Rhea twitched, "Oh, Ew! God, no; you're not my type!"

Miranda grew quiet.

Miranda: XD weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird... Acceptable, but weird lol.

Rhea: /dying of laughing/ Good night to you all...
