Crystal: Is it me, or were all you people getting sick of this message up here? Well, I changed it now. Uh huh, that I did…I think I've been watching WAY too much Rurouni Kenshin. Anyway, I hope that nobody is ever mad at me for any reason…these chapters are hard to write. I can't just copy and paste the songs onto the document, cause that screws the whole thing up…and nobody likes that, do they? So, I have to write every song by hand T.T
Crystal: Anyway…I GOT A SMORE MAKER! Yep, and it comes with this stuff called Sterno, which is LIQUID FIRE…isn't that cool? But if I ever run out, I will use you people's flames to roast my marshmallows MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *cough cough* You've all heard the disclaimer, so I'll just go right ahead to the story. This damn contest will take up at least three chapters…
~*~*~
The five minutes ended incredibly fast, and Oracle had already shoved herself into the dressing room to get ready for her act which was coming up. But first, Hermione was to take the stage, followed by Harry.
She was dressed in a white sweater, with a light blue skirt that reached her knees. Her hair had been pulled into two buns intertwined with blue ribbon, and she wore white stockings on her feet with black Mary Jane's. The music started up, and she hopped from her place on the floor to her feet and began to dance and sing to the song 'Heaven.'
While she went through her performance, Harry watched from backstage, looking out at the audience once in a while. Who could it be that Hermione liked…she had sure hinted to liking someone over the past month or so, but who? Harry kicked the wall…it most likely wasn't him…
As Hermione ended her songs, the curtains closed and she rushed of the stage, past Harry, sending him a quick smile.
"You did great" he whispered, and her smile grew wider.
"Hope you do as well. Break a leg" and with that, she scurried off into the audience, and he walked out onto the stage to sing his song, wishing the girl he was sending it to understand it like he wanted her too.
(A/N I've been noticing how there is not much about our favorite trio in this story, but that will all change soon enough…like when school comes back into session. But I shan't say anymore ^.~)
Oracle peaked out of the dressing room, her shiny aqua locks dassled in curls about her head. Yukina walked up to her.
"What are you doing?" She whispered as Harry's voice rang through the backstage area. Oracle cast nervous glances around herself.
"Make sure your brother doesn't see me go out on stage, but do make sure he watches me, will you?" Oracle asked, as she saw Yukina brighten at the mention of her Onii-chan, something she was becoming glad to accept. She nodded at Oracle, walking off to find Hiei, while Harry's last few lines went out over the stage.
She carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
Yea, I'm crazy for this girl…
And Harry disappeared from the stage with thunderous applause and into the audience where he joined his two best friends. Oracle looked about, seeing Hiei talking to Yukina and Kurama, and she ran at her fastest speed onto the stage, making sure Yukina knew she had gone.
She sat herself on the ground; her black skirt flitted about on the floor. The dress hugged her at the bodice, and had thick tank straps. One hung off the shoulder, with a sash attached to it that let off lots of strands of black cloth. (A/N Think of Emma's dress in the music video, and if you haven't seen the music video…I suggest you download it or get a picture.)
The curtains opened, and she was doused in silver light, setting of her affects. Her head looked down, and she moved her eyes from side to side, seeing Hiei standing and watching. She smiled as she lifted her head and her hair fell around her like a curled, silk curtain.
If I told you how I feel about you
Would you say the same?
And if I wrote it in a letter
Would you keep it, or throw it away?
She rolled over, so that she was on her side, both arms posed on the wooden stage as if she was preparing for it to switch dimensions.
I never thought I'd feel the way I'm feeling lately
When everything you seem to do just drives me crazy
She turned into a sitting position once more, propping herself onto her knees, and moving her hands above her head as she shimmied.
Every waking day
You take my breath away
With every word you say
You take my breath away
You look at me that way
Baby come what may
I hope that you'll always know
How to take my breath away
How to take my breath away
She finally stood, her legs being revealed through the many slits the dress had. Boys in the audience began to cat call, and Oracle kept her eyes in a seductive manner as she began a slid to the front in a slow motion.
If you told me how you feel about me
Things I did not know
If you said you'd feel my heart with all your love
Until it overflows
At this point, Oracle turned so that her eyes were now locked with Hiei's. She placed her hands on her hips and slid to the floor, never once unlocking her stare with Hiei as she continued the same movements she had done for the last chorus.
I don't know the way you feel but boy I'm hoping
I always used to hide away but now I'm open
Every waking day
You take my breath away
With every word you say
You take my breath away
You look at me that way
Baby come what may
I hope that you'll always know
How to take my breath away
How to take my breath away
She stood once more, placing her hands above her head and closing her eyes as she mixed them about themselves and swayed her hips as she turned her body.
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
And as she ended the sequence, she stood perfectly still, then sliding from left to right, slowing making her way towards the back of the stage.
Every waking day
You take my breath away
With every word you say
You take my breath away
You look at me that way
Baby come what may
I hope that you'll always know
How to take my breath away
How to take my breath away
She once again fell to the floor, pushing her skirt out about her as she let herself fall to the right side of her body, her hand outstretched, through the last lines of the song.
(How to take my breath away)
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
(How to take my breath away)
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away…
The crowd roared into applause and the curtains closed upon her figure, and she stood, walking off stage with a graceful pattern. She smiled at Hiei, planting a butterfly kiss on his cheek, before she walked off to the dressing room to prepare for her next act.
Keiko and Yukina joined her in the room, while Blaise Zambini and his band walked out on stage, rocking the hall with Sum 41's 'In To Deep.'
Luna Lovegood sat waiting, her dirty blonde hair pulled into a bun at the back of her head. She wore a black skirt that pooled about her ankles, and a black Chinese styled top. Her lips were a deep red, and she was wearing black eye liner and mascara…a lot of it. Her skin was paled, and she stood quietly, walking onto the stage as Blaise and his band finished up with four wolf howls.
She sat at the front of the stage, her legs dangling over the side, but the curtain still covering her from the audience.
They pulled open, and the audience looked surprised to see her where she was, but it didn't take long for the words to spill out of her mouth, as her hands acted like they were playing with a pool of water her legs had dipped into.
Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
She pulled her legs up, wrapping her arms around them and laying her head a top them, singing her heart out.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show,
Who I am inside
She began to scoot herself to the back of the stage, as she went through the next part of the song.
I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
She continued to sing in this matter till she hit the back curtain, where she rose to stand parallel to it.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection someone I
Don't know
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection hide
Who I am inside
At this point, she grasped the curtains behind her, leaning forward as if she had been chained to the wall and letting go at one point in the verse.
There's a hear that must be free to fly
That burns with the need to know the reason why
She began to walk forward at a slow pace, her head swishing violently as her face held an angst expression.
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am
Insi-i-i-i-ide
And as she sang the last line, she sank to the floor, her face once again the dreamy look like before.
When will my reflection show who I am inside…
Luna walked off as the applause filled the hall, and she disappeared into the crowd, Ginny coming up to her with great phrase and bringing her over to talk with the trio. Keiko, Yukina, and Oracle emerged from the dressing from, all clad in Chicago Jazz outfits. (A/N Meaning as in from the movie Chicago, you can put them in the colors you think fit them best.)
Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke watched them as they walked onto the stage, their hair all mused and their eyes narrowed down seductively. They ran to the curtain side, as the curtains came up, and the stage was engulfed with black. But the music started, and a white light enveloped Yukina. Boys all around the audience cat called, whistling, and yelling very inappropriate things as she began to move in seductive ways, one of her hands holding an L shape.
Yukina: L is for the way you look at me
The light drifted from her to Oracle, who stood with one of her hands in an O shape, as she danced in the same way with different movements.
Oracle: O is for the only one I see
It moved to Keiko, who followed the girls' routines, her hand held in a V shape.
Keiko: V is very, very…extraordinary!
All the girls moved together, the spotlight enlarging to fit all of them, as they put their bodies together to form an E.
All: E is even more then anyone that you adore
They drifted from the formation, moving into a line, snapping their fingers and moving in seductive movements to the beat, glancing from side to side, catching glimpses of the boys faces, who were completely O.O
All: Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more then just a came fore two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
And they fell into a jazzy little dance number before they began what they had started off with, the boys whistling and cat calling like crazy, the three by the curtains still O.O
Yukina: L is for the way you look at me
Oracle: O is for the only one I see
Keiko: V is very, very…extraordinary!
All: E, is even more then anyone that you adore!
All: Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more then just a came fore two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you…
They ended with Oracle center stage, bending over, winking and blowing a kiss. Keiko was to her left, bending slightly with her right hand on her knee and her left hand doing a spirit gun gesture, also blinking. And Yukina was on the other side, in the same position as Keiko practically, her right on the knee and her left posing as if it was to slash a whip.
Their act probably found itself with the most applause, as the exited the stage, each girl shutting their rightful boys mouth as they went to change. Keiko and Yukina still had their acts to do. Oracle changed quickly, walking out and sending one last smile to Hiei, before she walked out into the crowd, finding shelter from all the guys with her protective friends. Hiei was glad to have them there.

Crystal: Would you look at that…I'm just re-doing both messages. I hope you guys liked this! I can't believe I'm done with it already…maybe I'll even have the whole Karaoke thing done by tomorrow night…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…yea, right, like that would happen…
Crystal: Well, it could, but don't get you hopes up, aright. And I've told you guys I wouldn't be doing everybody's songs, and it will probably make it a lot easier on you. So, if you get all mad cause someone didn't perform and you wanted them to, go ahead and flame me…give me my smores!!!!!
Crystal: Anyway, this is in dedication to my younger sister Rachel, whose birthday was the first, and my grandmother who passed away exactly 10 years ago on September 28. Shall her soul be carried with great calmness and entity through the Spirit World, and shall Botan continue to guide her. Shall we take a moment of piece…
Crystal: All done…anyways, the plot will thicken within the next chapter or two, when two people admit their feelings towards one another…well, maybe more then two. When Botan discovers her secret visitor, when Oracle receives something she will never forget, and two enemies will become friends…on the next installment of secret of the Jumi…
See ya around…
PS: I have now started posting Jumi pictures up at my new website, and as the story goes along, more pictures will be added. Or, I'll add them all up there, and just confuse the hell out of you. You can find them at the homepage on my bio and I hope all you fabulous readers would check it out ^-^
