What They Would Call Normal
Chapter 11 The new band: Fire Starters!
By Silver (my nickname from Emilio!)

The morning started off with a normal angry Kagome and a few unconcious birds.

"ARG! Does the world hate me or something?! I'm trying to get some sleep!"

*CRASH*

'*sigh* There goes another alarm clock and another window,' Sango thought. Kagome rubbed her eyes and ran to the bathroom.

-----------------SCHOOL-----------------

"So, are any of you going to the Valentines Day dance?" Kagome asked.

"Silence," Miroku said.

"What?" Inuyasha asked confused.

"*Sigh* I'm trying to listen to the teacher's conversation in the teacher's lounge," Miroku whispered.

"..................dance..............may be cancelled...............american band cancelled............"

Those were the few words they caught.

Sango's face darkened. "The dance may be cancelled?! But why?"

"Weren't you listening Sango dear?"

Sango's eye twitched "Kouga........"

"Yes darling?" Kouga was oblivious to what Sango was about to do.

Sango took his arm and flipped him, almost breaking his arm. "Don't call me dear, ever."

"Oooo, I like them fiesty!" Koua exclaimed.

"Ugh, I think I'm gonna barf," Inuyasha ran to the nearest bathroom, followed by Miroku. Kagome just laughed (a/n: she seems to laugh at bad times doesn't she?) while Sango's eye twiched.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAA~AAAAAAAAA!!!" Sango whacked Kouga about a million times with her boomerang. "You know Kagome," Sango said, stepping triumphetly over an unconcious Kouga. "I think I'll name my boomerang Hiraikotsu."

----------------Principal's office-------------

"Mrs. Miotsko? Can we speak to Mr. Sonata?" Sango asked the secretary.

"Go right in Sango. He's not busy right now."

"Thanks."

"Mr. Sonata? I heard the dance was going to be cancelled. Why?"

"Oh, Miss Sango! Well the dance might be cancelled unless we get another band to play. The american band we hired 'Evanescence' had to cancel." Mr. Sonata explained.

"YOU HAD EVANESCENCE!!!" Kagome and Inuyasha shouted.

"Yah, but they cancelled," Mr. Sonata stated.

"We could fill in for you!" Sango eclaimed.

"We can?" Kagome asked.

"We will?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, Kagome plays the electric bass guitar in her free time. So does Inuyasha." Sango said. "Kagome also sings and so do I. Miroku plays the drums."

"We do?!?!?!?!" Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome yelled.

"Yep!"

"Ok then. You're hired!" Mr.Sonata announced.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

----------------------------------------

"SANGO! I. AM. SO. GOING. TO. KILL. YOU!!!" Kagome pounced, but Inuyasha and Miroku held her down.

"Look Kagome. I'm mad too!" Inuyasha shot a venomous glare at Sango. "But you can't have all the fun in killing her! Leave me a piece of her when you're done!" Inuyasha smirked.

"Inuyasha! We have two weeks to prepare! If we're not ready by then, we can get Sango!" Miroku yelled.

"^_^'''Ok. Great! I've already written a few songs. Now all we need is the music to go with it!" Sango happily jumped up and down.

"Ok. Just hold on for a moment so I can let my eye stop twitching from being annoyed by you," Kagome said.

-----------------------------------------------------------^-^ ^-^ ^-^

"Dang! I haven't played this baby in weeks!" Kagome held up a blue electric bass guitar with a silver star on it. "Now, where's my amplifier and our drum set? Miroku can use those. I think our drum set is over here somewhere....AHA! Here it is!" Kagome uncovered a sparkly red drumset.

"Oh sweet! Too bad it's not purple."

"Hey! At least you get to play the drums Miroku!" Inuyasha patted his friend's back.

Miroku brightened up. "Ya! You're right!"

"No duh, Einstien." Inuyasha retorted.

------------------------------------------------------------------

For 2 weeks they practiced. Inuyasha wanted to name the band Silver Flame or Fire Starters.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"All in favor of calling our band Silver Flame say 'I'!" Kagome called out.

"I!" Miroku yelled.

"Ok..........Fire Starters!" Kagome called out.

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

"Looks like Fire Starters wins!" Kagome announced.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So then the band finally had a name: Fire Starters. (a/n: if u think its a lame name live with it.) They were going to perform 2 songs:

'My Last Tears'

and

'In My World'

By the end of the two weeks, the whole school was buzzing about the new teen band Fire Starters. No one had ever heard their music before. Questions like: Would it be a pop band (a/n: ya right)? Would it be a rap group (a/n: maybe)? Or would it be a punk rock group (a/n: jack pot baby!)? Finally, Valentines Day came, plus the day Fire Starters had their first gig.

-------------------------^-^*^-^*^-^*^-^*-----------------------

"Just relax Kagome! It will be alright!" Sango was busy applying make-up to Kagome's face.

She had blue eye shadow on, out-lined with a silverish-grey color. Light red blus covered her cheeks, and her lips had clear strawberry flavored lipgloss on. Her hair was up in a sloppy bun with her bangs down. She had 5 stud earrings in her right ear and 6 stud earrings and a loop earring in her left ear.

Her black halter top showed off her curves and her red jeans were cover in glitter, covering black combat boots.

Sango wore her usual pink eye shadow, and her lips were covered with magenta lipstick. Red orange blush careened across her cheeks. Her hair was down with a dragonfly clip in it. Her right ear had 4 loop earrings with three studs, and her left ear had 6 loop earrings.

Sango's smock baby doll top was ice blue with a red a black star in the middle. Her jean shorts had 3 dragonflies with a rhinestone above each one. Her jade boots went up to a little bit above her knees.

Miroku's hair was up as usual. He wore a purple t-shirt with a white tiger on it. His black baggy pants were ripped at the bottom of each pant leg, covering blue addidas tennis shoes.

"NO! I don't want to come my hair!" (a/n: guess who)

"YES, you will Inuyasha!"

"Feh! You can't tell me what to do Sango!"

"FINE!!! Kagome? Will you please comb his hair?" Sango walked off rubbing her temples.

"Gosh Inuyasha, you can be such a baby sometimes." Kagome could see Inuyasha start to pout. She gently raked his comb through his hair.

Inuyasha was tugging at his black shirt that said 'Have a Happy day and dump your girlfriend' in red with a red demon smiley face.

A little rude, but a cool shirt. His black shorts reached two inches below his knees and his skater boi shoes were red.

---------------------------------------------------^-^'''

"Ok guys! You're on in 5 minutes!" Mr. Sonata announced.

Sango started to panic. "Omg, omg, omg, omg, omg ,omg! Our first gig!"

"Ya I know Sango! That's why you have to calm down!" Kagome tried to calm her sister down.

"Students! Please welcome, Fire Starters! With their song, My Last Tears!"

The crowd wen't wild.

Inuyasha started playing a simple but fast rhthym. Then Kagome and Miroku followed.

Sango began the first verse.

*Broken hearts

Are meant to heal

So why hasn't

Mine

My lost soul

Is lost for good

I'll give it some

Time*

The crowd was cheering like crazy. Kagome joined in with Sango for the second verse.

*As the tears fall down

Falling fast to the ground

I hold my head high

With what's left of my pride....*

Kagome was glancing every now and then at Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku. 'I'm glad I'm in a band with the three best friends a girl could have! It was a good chance to get closer to them all. Especially Inuyasha.'

Kagome didn't mind admitting she liked Inuyasha now. She sang her heart out just for him. Sango let Kagome sing the chorus by herself because she was a nice sister that way!

*My tears've burned

A hole deep into the ground

I think that I've

Cried my last tears for you

I'm so sorry

That it had to end like this

I think that I've

Cried my last tears for you

Ya, it's true

Ya, it's true*

Sango sang solo for verse 3.

*Leaving me

is probably

The wost thing you've

done

So baby

I'm guessing

I wasn't your only

one*

And Kagome joined in for verse 4.

*As the tears fall down

Falling fast down to the ground

I hold my head high

With what's left of my pride*

And Kagome sang solo for the chorus.

*My tears've burned

A hole deep into the ground

I think that I've

Cried my last tears for you

I'm so sorry

that it had to end like this

i think that i've cried my last tears for you*

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku played their instruments softer and Kagome sang solo again.

*I'm so sorry

that it had to end like this

i think that i've

cried my last tears for you*

Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku played at the normal rhthym. And then everyone in the band sang the chorus.

*My tear've burned

a hole deep into the ground

i think that i've

cried my last tears for you

i'm so sorry that it had to end like this

i think that i've cried my last tears for you*

Then Kagome sang solo again.

*I've cried my last tears.... for you........*
