" Somewhere, there'll be a place for us to be.
Somewhere I will finally be set free.
But until that somewhere comes to me,
It'll only be an illusion to see.
Coz everywhere I turn,
There's always something new to learn.
No time to crash and burn,
It's my time to earn.
By myself....

I need to confess.
This loneliness,
in my heart.

I know that it's just a big mess.
But, I need you, I want you....
for a start.

( cue the guitar solo)

I said, Somewhere there'll be a place for us..to be.
I know, Somewhere I will finally be set free...
But until then, you don't belong with me.
It's just a good thing for me to see....
Oh in my fantasy.

Yeh I need to confess.
This loneliness,
is out of line...

I know that it's just a big mess.
But I need you, I want you...
Oh please won't you be mine?.......

( cue end of music and clunk.) "

" Nice song " a voice called out from the background.
" T..Thanx " Kasumi mumbled.
" Did you guys write it yourself? " Izzy asked the
band. ( Kasumi's band.)
" Oh no...it was only Kasumi, that's why she sings it
so well. We all like it though. It's cool. " Mai
( Drummer,back-up singer and best-friend of Kasumi.
Sort of knows about digi-world. )
" Good song. So...are the 'NAOB's' gonna play that song
friday night for your concert?"
he asked curiosly.
(The 'NAOB's was Kasumi's band. It stood for 'Not an
ordinary band'. The lead singer and lead guitar was
Kasumi herself. Drummmer was Mai and the bass guitar
was Satomi, another good friend.)
" Yeh, we though people might like it. It's called
'The feeling I hold'. Are you coming to the concert? "
Kasumi answered no longer blushing.
" Sure thing, wouldn't miss it for the world!" Izzy
exclaimed and they all blushed again calling him a
'flatterer'.
" Well you better pack up, school's nearly closed."
" Yeh we will, cya Izzy"
A chorus of "Cya Izzy!"'s echoed around the gym.
He grinned and waved goodbye.

The days till Friday were spent at school,rehearsing
and playing soccer and studying with Tai. She presumed
that Sora still hadn't forgave him.
" Taaiiii....don't say that!" Kasumi giggled.
" Why shouldn't I?"
" Because then I'll change my mind and we'll play soccer"
" That's a bad thing? " he chuckled.
" Stop it....I can't go. Need..to..practise....rehearsing.
You know" she explained.
" Okay okay...I guess I'll see you there then. " he sighed.
" Don't sulk! I'll see you tonight then! Bye!" she joked
and then hung up.
She then exclaimed
" BOYS! I'll never understand them!"
" Cooommmeeee ooonnnn Kaaasssuuummiii......let's rehearse
already! We have a big night tonight. It's our key to
stardom!" Satomi said, her eyes shining.
Mai and Kasumi groaned, that's what she said everytime.

" And then life turns into such a bitch,
It bites you right in the ass.
And you doooonn'tt know what to do.

It's too confusing how you treat me.
It's like one minute you're happy, the next you're sad.
One minute your fine, the other you're mad.

You're the living contradiction,
And I can't change the rules.
You're the enigma,
that I can't, no I can't work out baby.
You're too 'wishy-washy'...
and I'mmmm tooo confused!

Yeh I'm too confused baby!
Way too confused!

(cue back-up (Kasumi and Mai) singing " Confused")

You drive me up the wall,
I just can't think at all.
Coz you make me, make meeeeee....
sooooooo......confused. "

The crowd cheered.

" Thank you that was 'Confused'. Give it up for Satomi! "
Kasumi yelled.
The crowd roared out " Satomi!". Satomi blushed.
" Ok, for the next and last ( the audience all sighed out an
" Aww!") number, it's a new song I..er..hum..wrote. BUT we
all play. IT's called 'The feeling I hold'!"
The crowd roared again and the 'intro' began.

" Somewhere there'll be a place for us to be..
Somewhere I will finally be set free...."
The crowd seemed to like this song and when the last lines
were being sang, they seemed to join along although they
didn't really know the words. Then there was silence as
Kasumi sang her last line.

" Oh please, won't you be mine? "
The audience cheered and the band made their usual 'End-of
Concert' speech.
" Ok, it's the end of the concert! " Mai yelled.
" But it's not the end for us! " Satomi added.
" Thank you for coming and I hope one day, if we EVER get
big, we can always count on the people that came to our
first concerts..."Kasumi began.
" Listened to our first songs" Mai added.
" And gave us our first band memories." Satomi finished.
" WE LOVE YOU ALL! " They chorused and everyone cheered.
Then someone from the background yelled out
" You will make it big! I know it! I'll make sure!".
The band knew who it was. It was Bob from school.
" Thank you Bob! I sure hope so. " Mai smiled at him.
" Anyways, please come to any other of our concerts.
Thank you for coming! Peace out! " Kasumi yelled and
the crowd cheered back and then (reluctantly) started
going back to their homes and away from the park.

" That was great guys! " T.K yelled. They all gathered
around.
" Thanx!...You really think so? "
All the 'digi-gang' nodded.
Tai beamed at Kasumi. She smiled at him and for a crazy
moment she just knew...that she had to tell him tonight.
His face. Something about it made her know that he was
going to say something VERY special.
" Umm...Tai? "
" Yes?"
" Can you go over there with me? I need to talk. "
Kasumi pointed to a clearing a little way off that was
out of ear's reach.
" Yeh! Sure! I need to say something too. " he replied
smiling.
Her heart skipped a beat.
_______________________________________________________

"Tai...I think.." she started to stammer.
He interrupted.
" Kasumi! I think I love Sora!"
Her eyes widened. Her heart was crushed.
All she could say was
" Oh! ".
" I know it sounds crazy Kasumi but well, we made up
after you called and I had this strange feeling. It
made me feel complete....you know? I mean why do we
always fight? I mean she must feel something for me..
right? " he whispered excitedly.
" right" Kasumi answered quietley. Her heart slowly
being wrenched out and stamped on. Tears were starting
to well in her eyes.
" Oh yeh, what did you want to say? " he asked seeing
the look on her face.
" Oh nothing" she mumbled.
" Tell you what. I hope it works out" she smiled whilst
dying inside.
" You'll...you'll be VERY happy together..." she choked
and ran off.
Tai's face was quizical but he ran after her.

" Where did Kasumi go? " he panted.
" I think she ran home. She didn't even take her guitar
back home with her. " Mai said worried.
" Her face was in complete agony." Satomi added.
Their faces were all alarmed.
" Well, I'll go and check up on her when I give her back
her guitar and mic. I hope she hasn't forgotten that I'm
sleeping around. " Mai sighed and strolled to a car that
seemed to be her mother's and put the equipment in and
drove off with her father.

" Kasumi! What was wrong! You look...terrible."Mai
exclaimed, VERY concerned.
" I..Um..I felt really sick. Thanx for taking my stuff.
I felt like I was gonna barf or something. " she sort
of lied.
" Oh ok..Well I have some song ideas and since I'm staying
here..should we go over them? If that's ok with you. "
Mai suggested.
" Oh yeh! Sure....of course.
_________________________________________________________

Kasumi was lying on her bed listening to Mai (who was
perched on her chair) and grunting retorts.
" How about finding love?" Mai suggested brightly.
" How about losing it? " Kasumi grunted.
" Can we please do something happy? So far I have been
naming happy subjects and you have been changing them
all to...well the opposite! What's wrong? You aren't
normaly this snappy. "
" I'm sorry Mai. I just...something horrible happenened
and I never want to show my face in public EVER again."
Mai patted her on the head sympatheticly and they got
ready for the night. Kasumi starting to murmur the words
of her mother's lullaby.

__________________________________________________________
So...what'cha think eh? Ok the lyrics I made myself.
Why else is it so rubbish? Well here's a preveiw!
'
" You're like the living dead! You have to smile!"
" Why bother? Someone will probably take it off my face."
Kasumi retorted.
" You don't even write songs anymore!" Mai sighed.
" I do! I wrote loads! "
" What I meant was songs that don't have 'I hate all guys'
or 'All guys are jerks' repeated as their lyrics. "
'
Well g2g!
Cya!
