Faint

Oy I'm soo sorry. I didn't mean for you to take it that way, Tenshi (calling you that for short). I got inspiration and thought it'd be good after all for Karaoke. I was going to make it something else, not karaoke, but I changed my mind apparently. It's mostly from Kagome's view (not like I, me, myself, blah blah) but her eyes. So here it is.

Hold~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Battle of the bands will continue next with," the DJ paused as he read the paper handed to him by a girl, "The Shikon Jewels. So give them a warm welcome!"

Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango walked out onto the small stage with a dim blue light shining. The rest of the room was dark besides the small light at the 'bar' in the back.

Sango sat at her synthesizer[1], Kagome picked up her electric guitar[2], Miroku picked up his sticks and sat at the stool behind the drum set, and Inu-Yasha grabbed the mic.

Kagome smirked as Sango started with the synthesizer on the violin-stringy note. Miroku brought in the drums and Kagome started to pluck the strings, leaving a vibrating sound. Miroku picked up the beat with Kagome as they both nodded their heads to the beat.

Miroku started in his rap-styled tone and Kagome stopped playing at the rest. His sticks and the synthesizer were all that were left.

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

~ I am

A little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard

Handful of complaints

But I can't help the fact that everybody can see these scars ~

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

Kagome closed her eyes as she let her fingers flow across the strings of her instrument and continue her rest. You could say what Miroku was "singing" was somewhat right. He was a little lonely and more than a handful of complaints.

But everyone knew the song was mostly meant for Inu-Yasha; he wrote it anyways.

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

~ I am

What I want you to want

What I want you to feel

But it's like no matter what I do,

I can't convince you, to just believe this is real ~

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

Kagome plucked the strings again and opened her eyes slightly to glance at Sango who was carefully pushing buttons and sliding things to the right pitch and note. She saw her best friend usually glance to Miroku as he spoke with his eyebrows furrowed, concentrating on playing as well.

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

~ So I let go,

Watching you,

Turn your back like you always do

Face away,

And pretend that I'm not

But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got ~

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

Everyone smirked, including Inu-Yasha as he broke into the chorus. Yep, definitely a song written, and sung by the Hanyou. Kagome jammed it out on her guitar, as Sango took a break.

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

~ I can't feel the way I did before

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored

Time won't heal~ this damage anymore

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored~ ~

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

Kagome stopped and Sango started. Miroku also started his part once again concentrating on playing and singing. Inu-Yasha and the crowd were definitely into it. Inu-Yasha had that little smirk of his planted upon his lips as he waited.

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

I am

A little bit insecure, a little unconfident

Cause you don't understand I do what I can

But sometimes I don't make sense

I am

What you never wanna say

But I've never had a doubt

It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you for once just to hear me out

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

Kagome strummed her guitar while Sango held out a note with her synthesizer before making a wavy sound with it. Every few seconds Kagome would pluck the strings with Miroku's words.

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

So I let go

Watching you,

Turn your back like you always do

Face away,

And pretend that I'm not

But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got

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

The crowd was now dancing around bobbing their heads and such as the chorus began. Even some of those happy-happy- joy-joy-brand-name-clothes[3] people were enjoying the show.

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

~ I can't feel~ the way I did before

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored

Time won't heal~ this damage anymore

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored~ ~

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

Kagome totally got into it then. She flipped her hair and began pouring her soul to her finger-tips, onto the strings, out of the amplifier. Every few words she and Miroku would rest and it'd just be Inu-Yasha. She heard Miroku play with his all as well and Inu-Yasha..well..Yeah.

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

~ No~

Hear me out now

You're gonna listen to me, like it or not

Right now~

Hear me out now

You're gonna listen to me, like it or not

Right now~ ~

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

Kagome took a rest. Miroku lightly played as Sango started her long notes, and then the waves. She smiled as she then got her rest. Inu-Yasha broke down into a whisper sort of voice at that point. before screaming the last part.

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

~I can't feel the way I did before

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored~ ~

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

Kagome smirked along with Miroku as they continued to play and the crowd just danced. Some crowd people swung their heads so much they might suffer whip-lash. As long as everyone was having fun, no one cared!

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

~ I can't feel~ the way I did before

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored

Time won't heal~ this damage anymore

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored~ ~

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

Kagome heard Sango and Miroku put in their vocals with Inu-Yasha lightly for the harmony. Kagome broke a small sweat.

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

~ I can't feel~

I won't be ignored

Time won't heal~

Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored ~

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

The group stopped leaving Sango to put a fading echo with her Synthesizer. They bowed and got off stage with a standing ovation.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~As in Jibun Kakumei (Miyavi song) Would do..*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Fin.

[1]- I have a very good idea what a Synthesizer is..So I thought it be good because I couldn't figure out that sound. And I will not make one of em play some classical instrument! So like..just bare with me here.

[2]- I'm no Guitar expert ok x.x I think it was a Bass but I dunno..Electric was what me instincts said. If you wanna correct me, feel free. I'll just fix it ^-^

[3]- No offense..lol but those are the preppy people. I like that line ^^

I was soo inspired! I hoped you guys liked it u.u ,'cause even though it took me quite a while to make everything like I wanted.

I just put the way the instruments sounded in the songs because I didn't really have anything else for the characters to do, and I'm a fan of detail. ~shrugs~Maybe you guys got a better look of the song (f you haven't heard it) That way.

I know there are no girls in Linkin Park but I had to put em in..And Sango didn't have much to do so I let her lend some voice.

Thanks Tashana Ambrosia for the lyrics! I'll use the remix since its longer. May take me a lil time to put it up though.
