April cleaned herself up and got dressed. She wore a denim skirt that went
to her knees and a white blouse that hung out of her skirt, along with
black bracelets that covered her wrists. She walked out of her room and
descended down the stairs to where she met Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome had
tried to talk him into wearing a baseball hat only to fail so April
insisted that they just tape his ears down, plus it would be better since
the arena usually gets loud and would not hurt his sensitive ears.
"Are we ready?" April asked as she grabbed car keys to the Mercedes convertible.
"Yep!" Kagome exclaimed as she dragged Inuyasha out the door.
They walked out to the small car and Kagome stopped looking at the car closely.
"April, I know your intentions are good and all but unless there is an extra seat in the trunk we are one seat less." Kagome mentioned as April unlocked the car doors.
"I know. Soooo you can sit on Inuyasha's lap on the highway and than you can sit on the ledge of the roof through downtown." April said pointing to the part of the roof that edges into the car.
"If you're sure." Kagome said climbing in after Inuyasha blushing slightly.
"Good. If we are settled than," April turned the keys and the car started.
The drive on the highway had been interesting, fun but interesting. Inuyasha kept having the urge to jump out of the car and slash passing vehicles or growl at them. If it hadn't been for Kagome, he would have been long gone. Then April had the brilliant idea to turn on the stereo, which got Inuyasha growling loader. After Kagome talked to Inuyasha that the stereo was not going to hurt anyone, April was able to turn the stereo back on listening to tunes before they got into downtown.
"Kagome you sit back there if you want." April said motioning to the back of the vehicle. Kagome wiggled out of Inuyasha's grasp to sit on the edge of the roof.
Inuyasha's head went back as he looked at the tall buildings. Each having to be at least 20 stories high.
"Those are huge!" He exclaimed curiosity was on his face. He looked like a little boy who just found out that he could ride a bike. The look of wanting to know more to do more, to see more.
"Their skyscrapers Inuyasha. Their like my house only a whole bunch stacked on top of each other." Kagome told him.
As they kept driving the buildings got shorter and there was a lot greener until they came to a huge parking lot in which surrounded large buildings. April pointed to one that was entirely white and very much crowded. She directed them to stay close and to head for that building. April took them up a very long staircase and opened a door that had PRIVATE written on it.
"These are Shippo's seats, whenever I'm here I come and hangout with my friends. You two take your seats and I'll go get something to eat." April exclaimed. They both nodded their heads and April headed to the concession stand.
"Oh my GOD! April is that you!" exclaimed three voices from behind April. She spun around quickly and was relieved to find three of her oldest friends.
"Amy, Tony, Phoenix! Why the hell are you guys here." April exclaimed running to a girl who had long black hair pulled back into a ponytail, and wore punk clothing. They pulled each other into a tight embrace. "This is awesome."
She turned to hug the guy standing to the right of Amy. "Tony my main man, how you been," standing on her tipsy toes she kissed him on the cheek. The man had short hair that was obviously not combed as much as it should be.
"I see you haven't changed much, hey peanut head!" Exclaimed a guy with brown hair that passed his ears and it's length reached his chin his hair was clearly bleached. April walked up to him slowly and jumped into his arms. Phoenix had been her best guy friend since she could remember. He was like an older brother to her. Tears ran down her cheeks and Phoenix put his hand on the back of her head. "Shhh. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too," April answered back barely above a whisper. She wiped away her tears and put a smile on. "How 'bout you guys come to Shippo's seats there some people I want you to meet!" April grabbed two of the three people hands and ran off to her seats.
Kagome was sitting in Inuyasha's arms when April barged in the doors with three new people. Inuyasha stood up quickly to attack but April waved her hands to tell him to stop.
"Inuyasha, Kagome meet Amy, Tony and Phoenix!" She exclaimed pointing to each one. "These are some of my closest friends."
"Not to mean her band members," piped up Amy.
"And don't forget her groupies." Tony chirped.
"PERVERT!" Amy and April yelled hitting him as hard as they could.
"I see you have your own version of Miroku," committed Kagome. April and Kagome laughed but noticed that Inuyasha was in a glaring contest with Phoenix. "Inuyasha" Kagome hissed. Inuyasha brought Kagome close to him as Phoenix brought April close to him.
"Stay away from him." The two men said in unison causing their glares to intensify.
"He's Youkai." Inuyasha pointed out.
"And he's a filthy half breed." Phoenix exclaimed.
"Phoenix! How dare you! You act as if you are disgusted. So if you're disgusted by Inuyasha than your disgusted with me!" April exclaimed pulling herself out of his grip. "For your Information, Inuyasha has saved me and Kagome more than you could ever, well maybe only Kagome, anyways if you have a problem, then leave." Inuyasha had a triumph smile plastered on his face. "And don't you dare be smiling Inuyasha cause your turn is next.
"April, look I'm sorry, I just don't want you to get hurt." Phoenix exclaimed, his eyes full of hurt.
"I know but don't act so disgusted about his blood. Now show them you guys they need to know." Grumbling Amy, Tony and Phoenix grabbed a leaf off their heads and revealed furry tails, pointy ears, and fox feet.
"I should of known!" Exclaimed Inuyasha. "Everywhere I go there is Kitsunes, There's no escaping them!"
Everyone laughed at Inuyasha act as if the world was going to end, but was interrupted when there was a light tapping at the door. Phoenix went and got a few swears were said and he opened the door wider to reveal the last person that any of them wanted to see... Chrono.
"Yes and how may WE HELP you, SIR." April spat through gritted teeth.
"I called the house and your butler said you were here. I came to talk about the house." He said walking into the room. "Or if this is a bad time we talk after."
"Yes, this IS a bad time." April said, sitting back down in her seat. She heard the door shut and began to breathe normally, but when she heard rustling in the seat behind her, she began to panic. She turned around and saw Chrono settling down.
"I said I won't talk about our business, but I never said I would leave." He said.
The buzzer for the end of the first period went off and an announcer came onto the speaker.
"Today we are having a special contest for those people who are brave enough to come up here and sing. So we are going to pick a seat number and you nod your head to tell us if you and three other people want to come sing for us."
Great now we get to listen to people sing, just beautiful. April thought.
"Section 299, Row 28, seat number 10!" The announcer's voice rang out over the rink.
"April that's me!" Amy screamed. Tugging on April's, Phoenix's and Tony's shirts.
"Oh but AMY!" They moaned in unison.
"Oh come on it will be fun." She yelled. Inuyasha, Kagome and Chrono looked at the over excited teen.
"Fine." They all gave in and made their way to the ice.
A man came up to them and shook their hands.
"So did you people ever played an instrument or sang before." The announcer asked.
"Yeah!" piped up Amy. "We're in a band called 'Demonic' and I play the bass guitar, Tony plays keyboard, Phoenix plays drums and April is our lead singer, and she plays the electric guitar."
"GREAT! We have instruments over there for you guys so just set yourselves up." The man said and went over to talk to the announcer, who repeated everything they just said.
The four of them walked out on the ice where there was instruments and a mini stage.
"Hey everyone!" April spoke into the microphone. A loud cheering was heard from the stands. "We are going to play one of my favorites tonight. I would like to dedicate it to my X-boyfriend. It's called Everybody's fool by Evanescence!"
Tony started the song by playing a light tune on the keyboard and strumming a soft chord on her guitar that was joined by Phoenix on the drums and soon interrupted by April and Amy on guitar,
(AN- ~Blah~ is April, *Blah* is April and Amy, `blah` is Amy.)
~Perfect by nature~ ~Icons of self indulgence~ ~Just what we all need ~ ~More lies about a world that~
*Never was and never will be*
'Have you no shame don't you see me` *You know you've got everybody fooled*
~Look here she comes now~ ~Bow down and stare in wonder ~ ~Oh how we love you ~ ~No flaws when you're pretending ~ ~But now I know she~
*Never was and never will be*
`You don't know how you betrayed me ` *And somehow you've got everybody fooled*
`Without the mask where will you hide`
`Can't find yourself lost in your lie`
~I know the truth now~
~I know who you are~
~And I don't love you anymore~
*It never was and never will be*
*You don't know how you betrayed me * *Somehow you've got everybody fool fooled*
*It never was and never will be * ~You're not real and you can't save me ~ *Somehow now you're everybody's fool*
April looked away and finished the song off with a few chords of her guitar. The cheers from the crowd were immense. The members of Demonic could not believe the attention they were getting.
All four of them arrived back to their seats with pats on their backs and many people asked for their autographs. Kagome came up and congratulated them.
"You should have seen the look on Chrono's face April. I think dedicating that song to him hurt his ego a little too much." She said.
"Well he deserved it!" Amy yelled, causing everybody to look at her in a funny way. "Sorry."
The game hadn't been very interesting and ended up being a tie game. When everybody got home, they welcomed the comfort of their beds and the relaxation of sleep. Only one out of the three could sleep. She tossed and turned as images and memories flashed in her mind.
April rolled out of her bed and landed gracefully on her feet. She walked silently across the room and pulled a box out of her closet. She went over and sat on her bed looking through the contents of the box. Pictures and momentous littered the box. Many were of her and her family, but some were of friends. She giggled as she came across a junior high picture. They had been allowed to pose however they wanted, People were making faces and doing completely stupid things but over in the corner of the front row was her in Chrono's arms. Tears burned at the corners of her eyes but she refused to cry she had made a decision that she would not shed any more tears for him. The picture symbolized so many things. Friendship, Joy and her first year with Chrono and the year she had been attacked. She smiled as she remembered the day she met Chrono.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The snow glittered as the sun shone on it. The day was gorgeous, there was no winter wind and the cold air didn't affect April as she walked to her school. Thoughts ran through her head as she tried to decode everything that had happened to her in the last month. She was so deep into thought she never noticed the large piece of ice in her path. She slipped on it and never had time to act. Her eyes squinted as she anticipated the pain of colliding with the ground, but it never came. Instead a pair of strong arms caught her, She tilted her head back and met a pair of dark green eyes that took her breathe away, The person stood her up so they could see each other much better.
"You should be more careful, you don't want to get hurt." He said.
"Uhuh." April answered.
"Chrono and you are?" He put his hand out and April took it gingerly.
"April"
~~~~~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
April smiled. She missed those days of being a careless teenager. However, those days were gone and as her mother said, 'It's all water under the bridge.'
April put the box on her nightstand and snuggled into her sheets hoping that sleep would soon takeover.
TA-DA! All done this chapter. Sorry if that was a bit of a long wait but I've been working on another Fiction. Sorry I know I should finish one before I start another but I have to express myself! BYE BYE For now!
