Summary: Both Weiß and Schwarz have to go to L.A. for a mission. The only problem is that this mission is not going to be completed with weapons, but with their voices. O.o
Warnings: There aren't that many really. Let's see, there is, of course, OOCness. Um, I can't blame you if you want to thwap me for writing this either. I'm not sure, but angst could work as a warning. Especially if you consider some of the lyrics in the songs.
Disclaimer: The only thing I own in this fic is the character Amanda, and the plot of the story. (If there is one.) Everything else is © its original owners. Please, don't try to sue me for this, I'm making absolutely no money off of this fic. Besides, I don't think you would want what you would get from me anyway.
Green Jello - Due to the increased number of reviews I have been getting for this fic, I have decided to force myself to finish it. The characters from Angel will only make a few more brief appearances, though. I hope ya'll still like it.
Oh, before I forget. Thanx to everyone who pointed out the translation error in chapter 2. I have it fixed now...I think. ^^; *yells* Babel Fish sucks!!!!!!

Chapter 4 – Let the Karaoke Begin!
After the introductions, everyone reluctantly went up to their rooms. They were told that once they were in there, to open the envelopes that Amanda had given them earlier that day. Needless to say, most of them were not happy about what was in them. The letter stated that they had four days to choose a song to sing at a karaoke bar. After they chose it, they had to tell Amanda so she could set things up. When they did that, they had the rest of those four days plus three more to practice and go sightseeing. The thing that upset them, though, was the fact that the winner of the contest got to choose the future of the two groups.
Over the past week, everyone got along fairly well. A few better than others, though. The ones that ran the 'hotel' were gone most of the time, but when they were there Cordelia tried to help out by suggesting a karaoke bar that her and her friends go to quite a bit.
Omi and Nagi started talking about computers on the first night. Yoji and Schuldig got fairly close and started to go out to the clubs every night. Aya and Crawford got to where they could tolerate each other…a little.
Ken and Farfarello were the surprising ones. The first couple of nights, Ken was absolutely terrified of the white haired Irishman. On the third morning, though, he worked up enough courage to talk to the one eyed person. It turned out that Farfarello was smarter that everyone thought, and that he was a surprisingly caring person…when he wanted to be. After that, he and Ken found that they had a lot in common, including the fact that they both liked soccer. For the rest of the week, the two became best friends and were practically inseparable.
Every one had their own rooms when they were practicing, because no one else was supposed to know what song they were singing until they actually sang it.
Night of the Contest At the bar ~
The eight assassins were sat at a table and told to wait there until they were called up to sing. No one knew when or in what order they were going to sing, and most of them wouldn't stop fidgeting in their seats.
Cordelia and Wesley came along just for the fun of it, even though Amanda decided that they weren't going to the bar that Cordelia suggested. They wanted to see if these people that they have gotten to know could actually sing. They were warned ahead of time that the singing would probably be in Japanese, but that didn't matter to them.
Everyone at the bar became quiet as Amanda walked out on the stage. "I would like ta say somethin' before we get thangs started. Tonight is a special night fer eight young," She paused and took a second to rethink her words. "Let me rephrase that, seven young men plus one that looks like he's about ready to go inta a midlife crisis."
Schuldig busted out laughing at that point. "Hey Bradley, I think she was talking about you." Needless to say Crawford ignored him.
The girl on the stage continued. "They have traveled a long way ta be here. I'd like ta get started now, so…let's see, the first one ta sing is gonna be," She paused to draw a name from a hat. "Omi Tsukiyono. Ok, Omi, come on up here and introduce yerself."
As he made his way up to the stage, he could hear various things like "Good luck, bishonen." and "Break a leg." being yelled by Yoji and Ken.
He looked somewhat nervous when he stepped up to the microphone.
"Um, hi. As she already said, my name is Omi Tsukiyono and I'm 17 years old."
{the music started and Omi started singing}
"Silently I stood in the rain
I lost track of time, that you were waiting
Sorry about today, that I didn't see you
Because if I did, I would've fallen to pieces."
(Nagi – "Hey, Omi's not half bad."
Everyone Else - *nods heads in agreement*)
"I wanna hold you, hold you, open arms
I wanna kiss you, kiss you, lose my way
Baby, maybe I'm being a fool
Gonna be crazy, crazy Sorrowfully"
(All - *large sweatdrop with jaws on the table*
Yoji - *cheering* Yeah, Omi! I knew you had in you!)
{blushes and continues singing}
"I can't make lying faces
Walking along with rain striking my cheeks
My voice wouldn't sound except for the white puff of a sigh
To say 'Goodbye, sorry to have hurt you.'"
"I wanna touch you, touch you, with all my love
I wanna feel you, feel you, all night long
Baby, daisy, through my heart
Gonna be rainy, rainy Endlessly"
"I wanna hold you, hold you, open arms
I wanna kiss you, kiss you, lose my way
Baby, maybe I'm being a fool
Gonna be crazy, crazy Sorrowfully"
"I wanna touch you, touch you, with all my love
I wanna feel you, feel you, all night long
Baby, daisy, through my heart
Gonna be rainy, rainy Endlessly"
Everyone was quiet until the end of the song. Between the seven of them, there were mixed reactions. Some were cheering and urging him to sing more while the rest were in complete shock. Who knew that such an innocent looking boy would even think of singing something like that?
When Omi finished up the song, he went back to his seat. He was doing a full body blush waiting for the others' reactions. Amanda went back up to the stage.
"Ok Omi, that was great.
