lostmoonchild: Hey, thanks for the review! Ok, here's chapter thirty five, part two for everybody's who's been soooo patient. I don't own Inuyasha or anything else unless I say otherwise.
Chapter Thirty Five (cont.)
The waitresses talked excited, growing softer until the drums started. Before the music started, the singer grinned. "Okay, people, our beautiful waitresses this evening are going to sing. As always, every one of them except for the mixed breed is up for grabs. Good girls that aren't too picky."
"Just start the damn song already!" Kagome screamed.
"And we found our little Susie." (A/N italics will be the waitresses singing, bold will be the band)
Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama good-bye
I didn't tell her how that I loved her
How much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
Unaware I just did what I always do
Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school
But who knew this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking the test I took two to the chest
Call me blind but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running but I couldn't hear nothing
Except Gunblast
It happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was I know its because
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
Little Susie she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud with no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told she deserved much better
Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool
He was never really one of the guys no matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
Its kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end they might remember him then
You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
Guess that's the way the story goes
Will it never makes sense
Somebody's gotta know
There's gotta be more to life then this
There's gotta be more to everything I thought exists
We are we are (we are we are), the youth of the nation
We are we are (we are we are), youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) the youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) the youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) youth of the nation (youth of the nation)
We are, youth of the nation
We are, youth of the nation
We are, youth of the nation
We are
Almost everybody clapped at the song. While the band played some more songs, Kagome came over to them with a grin. "Don't look so pissy, Sesshomaru. It doesn't become you very well." Kagome said pretending to flirt with Sesshomaru.
"You know just as well as I do Rin will smell you on me." Sesshomaru said looking annoyed.
"Oh poo. Rin knows I'm not interested in you. But your charming brother… well, that subject is different."
Sesshomaru looked even more annoyed and looked at his brother. "I suggest you get your bitch away from here before she forgets all of her self-respect." Sesshomaru stated.
"Feh. I'm already aware." Inuyasha said looking just as annoyed as his brother.
Kagome giggled a little and said, "Can I get anybody anything?"
"An explanation. How the hell did you meet this demon?!" Mr. Higurashi shouted causing everybody to fall silent and look at the man.
Kagome knew full well everybody was staring and forced a smile on her face. "Please, sir, there's no need to shout. Sesshomaru-sama is one of my best clients. Is there anything else I may get you?"
Mr. Higurashi simply glared at his daughter and said, "Well discuss this when we get home."
"Are you sure I'm coming home tonight?" Kagome asked once everybody had started talking again. "Mama knows that sometimes I'll stay at Kurama's. Incase you're curious, he is a demon and, yes, I know that. Almost all of my friends are demons."
Obviously, pissing her father off was one of Kagome's favorite pastimes. She was showing him that she didn't appreciate him leaving without any explanations. By working at the Youkai Den, she was receiving the attention that she had never received for so long.
"Baby girl, let's go." A waitress said grabbing onto Kagome's arm.
"Oh, right. Hey, guys, I gotta run. See you in a few minutes." Kagome said following the girl, both of them talking in hushed voices.
"Where are they going?" Inuyasha asked.
"You'll see soon enough, little brother." Sesshomaru answered. "It's her night anyway and unfortunately, I'm almost afraid of the song that they're making her sing tonight."
"Why?"
"You'll see."
A few minutes later, the lights turned off and a single light appeared on stage. "In the darkest corners of Hell, the child waited. Souls came and went, each feeding her with their darkest thoughts. The line between good and evil, vanished in her realm. Now, she is among us.
"Human, some claim, for humans are the most arrogant and greedy of all creatures. Demon, others claim, for they live for centuries taking lives to survive. But there are few, who know the truth. Few, who know she is neither human nor demon. But a mix of worlds. That she stands among us as the Princess of Darkness."
Sesshomaru shook his head a little before muttering, "Princess of Darkness, I hardly think so."
They were going to ask what Sesshomaru meant but listened as the music started. Inuyasha felt his heart rate pick up as a girl wearing all black came on stage with a look that he recognized as the one Kagome gave him when they were having their alone time. Then it hit him just as the girl started singing that the girl was Kagome. Smiling with a seductive smile drawing everybody's attention to her, she began singing:
Lead astray the gazers
The razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
Every flower is a perfect one
To paradise with pleasure haunted, haunted by fear
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
I am the Fallen
You are what my sins enclose
Lust is not as creative
As its discovery
To paradise with pleasure haunted, haunted by fear
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
God I must confess
I do envy the sinners
Sesshomaru smirked a little and said, "Well, Inuyasha, I'll give your bitch credit. She figured out a way to warn everybody what was going to happen."
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"Think about that song. Part of it went 'a wolf will betray a lamb' which translates into 'the boss will kill us' and since their boss was watching Kagome all night, she's found a way to warn them. Look at the waitresses now."
They looked at the waitresses and saw the nervous looks on their faces. They had gotten the message loud and clear what was being planned for that night. But they didn't know how they were going to handle being without a job. Losing a life or losing a job, which one seemed more important to them?
Right now, Inuyasha could easily make a choice on which one was more important without any problems.
After a few hours, the kitchens had "mysteriously" started on fire. This time, the waitresses were all prepared and had established a way to get everybody out without losing anybody. Well, anybody other than Boss. When the fire department had managed to get the fire under control, they found the demon's body in the office.
Nobody knew for sure what happened, but they all had the feeling that a couple of the waitresses had made sure that Boss would never hurt them or anybody else again by getting to him first. "After all," the waitresses commented, "he got what he deserved. Nothing less."
lostmoonchild: Ok, I was actually looking over the lyrics for "She is My Sin" (the song Kagome sang) and I realized there could be several messages in the lyrics that could have been used and in "Youth of the Nation" there was a bit of forshadowing for the end of the chapter (and possibly the story, I'm not sure yet). Anyway, read and review, flames are accepted. Ja ne until next week!
