Nobara: I tried emailing you but they kept returning it, curse aol....anyways mail it to me at IxCrystalTearsxlaol.com Also, Kuro's & Youko's talking in the minds was messed up so there's going to be an alternative. /Youko /Kuro there we go.
Hiei::sarcastic:: You're brilliant
Nobara: I know
Hiei: How's Kurama doing?
Nobara: I'm not sure, I think he still suffers from male PMS
Kurama::from upstairs:: I am not suffering male PMS!
Nobara::rolls eyes:: whatever, I don't own anything, except a carton of ice cream
Hiei: Sweet snow?! ::runs to kitchen::
Nobara: NO! YOU LEAVE MY SWEET SNOW ALONE YOU LITTLE HOBBIT! ::runs after him::
Kurama lay on the couch, not moving or speaking, just staring at the ceiling. Genkai had giving strist orders to not bother him and surprisingly Yusuke and Kuwabara obeyed. Kuwabara wasn't the brightest crayon in the box but he knew that Rose had meant alot to Kurama before Kurama even had known it (a/n: Wow, maybe there's hope...). "Kurama I can go and find her for you," said Botan crouching beside the couch. Kurama shook his head, "Don't bother her, as long as she's happy with him," he said softly. Botan sighed and went to the kitchen.
"I'm worried about him Genkai," she said in a whisper throwing a glance back at the kitsune. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and even Hiei nodded in agreement. "What do you want me to do about it? Beat the happiness into him?" asked Genkai as she rummaged through the fridge for another sandwich. Botan rolled her eyes. "Well I'm going to go find the little hussy and give her a piece of my mind!" said the ferry woman grabbing her oar from beside the door. Genkai rolled her eyes and went to her room where the theme song to Three's Company could be heard.
It didn't take Botan long to find the apartment of Himitsu and she watched from the window as Rose sobbed on the shoulder of an odd looking woman (a/n: FYI, she's hovering outside the window). "There there Rose, it'll be okay, you want me to go beat the daylights out of him?" she asked in a mascular voice. Rose sat back and wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled slightly, "No, just as long as he's happy with her." Himitsu stood up and walked to the kitchen. Taking off the blonde wig and laying it on the table s/he opened the fridge and took out a few eggs. Botan nearly fell off her oar, Himitsu was a drag queen.
"You want some dinner? And then you can tell me what happened," he said. Rose shook her head, "I'm not hungry, but you go ahead," she replied. So Botan waited for Himitsu to make his omlette and sit back down beside Rose on the sagging couch. "Well during rehearsal today it dawned on me that I loved Kurama, more than anything else," the redhead began. Botan listened intently to her, wanting to know why she had left if she cared for him so much. "When I came home I decided to tell him. He wasn't in the house so I went to look for him. I found him with his friend Yusuke, he was hugging some strange girl and looked very happy. He said he loved her and kissed her on the forehead and then I disappeared to here," said Rose giving a summary of the account. "Well did you think that maybe it was his sister?" asked Himitsu. Botan laughed slightly, Rose had mistook Genkai for 'the other woman'.
The ferry woman nearly lost her balance again as she waited for Rose's response. "Well, you see a close friend of mine that once dated him said that he did the same thing to her," she replied. Curiousity taking over the ferry woman she took off again to Koenma's office to find Kuro and Youko's files. "Oh, well then hon you were better off without him," said Himitsu. Rose nodded, "I'm going to go to bed," she said. "Okay, you can sleep in Takara's bed, she'd out of town for the week," he called after the redhead who disappeared down the hall.
Botan had spent several hours rummaging through files that envolved Youko and Kuroyuri. "Bingo! 'Partners'," the ferry girl read the many pages that gave a detailed description on the relationship between the two kitsunes (a/n: Wonder how they got that...). "Oh..." Botan read with deep interest before zooming away back to Genkai's. Kurama had yet to move from his spot on the couch and Kuwabara and Yusuke watched him. "He hasn't moved in four straight hours, it's starting to creep me out," said Kuwabara as Botan came in unnoticed. Pulling the two into the indoor gym Botan began to explain hurridly all she knew.
"So you see history repeated itself!" she said. Kuwabara had a dumb look on his face, "Could you explain that again?" he asked. Botan sighed, "Kuro saw Youko with his sister Tetsuma. Kuro thought Tetsuma was another woman. She betrayed Youko because she thought Youko had betrayed her. Now Rose saw Kurama hug Genkai and Rose thought Genkai was another woman. Now Kurama thinks Rose has run off with a guy named Himitsu, but Himitsu is a drag queen friend of Rose's. Is that clear enough?" said Botan slowly. Kuwabara nodded, "So how do we get the two star crossed lovers back together?" asked Yusuke. Botan smiled, "We begin Operation Black Lillies and Red Roses."
Botan left the two behind and went into the living room. Hiei watched with interest as the ferry onna stormed in and picked Kurama up by the shirt collar. "Do you miss Rsoe?" she asked, Kurama looked at her with wide eyes and nodded. "Do you want to get her back?" she asked again and Kurama nodded. "Then I will help you win her back!" shouted Botan dropping the kitsune back onto the couch. Kurama watched halfway stunned halfway curious as Botan went upstairs to his room. "Kurama you don't have any clothes!" she shouted running from his room with a few shirts in either hand.
He looked around at the clothes on his floor and then at Botan, "Yes I do, they're just all over the floor...Botan what are you doing?" he asked her. Botan smiled, "I'm going to help you get back the best thing that ever happened to you or Youko," she responded happily. Kurama arched his eyebrow in curiousity, "What do you mean? She won't come back," he replied. Botan wagged a finger in front of his nose, "Everything has been a big misunderstanding, all you have to do is call her," she said, handing him a cell phone and the phone book. Himitsu's number was highlighted and Kurama nervously dialed it.
Rose was nearly asleep when Himitsu came into her room and handed her the phone. "It's him," he said simply and left. "Hello?" she asked groggily. "Rose? It's Kurama," he said. Botan poked him in the ribs wanting him to continue but he didn't know what to say. "Um, so how's it going?" he asked and Botan slapped her own forehead, guys were hopeless. Rose felt her heart drop a little more, "Okay, I'm fine, you?" she spoke softly into the reciever. "I'm fine too, Rose listen-" started Kurama but was cut off. "Kurama it's okay, I understand that you don't want to be with me, the feeling's mutual," said Rose as she wiped away a tear from her cheek. "But Rose it's n-" he started again only to be cut off once again by Rose. "Kurama, don't call me again, good-bye," and with that she hung up the phone.
Kurama held the phone and listened to the operator, not believing his ears. Botan saw from the expression on his face it hadn't gone well, "Should I explain?" she asked softly. Kurama turned off the phone and nodded his head. The ferry woman told everything she had known about it and waited for Kurama's response. "A misunderstanding, does she know?" he asked softly. Botan shook her head, "Then we should tell her," he said standing up and walking to the door. "Woah, wait a minute lover boy, we need to make a few adjustments. In the morning!" said Botan yanking him back by the arm. Kurama nodded and sat back on the bed, "Thank you Botan," he said softly as she left the room.
The next morning Kurama was awoken by the soft of Botan's cheerful voice as she entered his room. "Wake up fox boy! It's time to shop!" Before he had fully woken Kurama found himself in the mall he had been in a few short days before. "Okay so I see red silk and black velvet.." , "I am not wearing velvet Botan..." , "Fine, but I see you in a red silk shirt, black wife beater, and black pants," she said and bounded away into the nearest men's store dragging Kurama behind her. After a long argument that Kurama lost, he found himself wearing the before mentioned outfit, and surprisingly looked good in it (a/n: My cousin's friend wore this to a birthday dinner and he looked so hot..).
"Oh my god Kurama, we're going to have to beat them off with a stick!" said Botan as she took out her purse to pay for half of the outfit. "Now for gifts!" again the ferry onna bounded away dragging Kurama along with her. By the time they had left they had a stuffed bear, a large boquet, and a heart shaped ruby pendent. Kurama was overwhelmed by how much he had spent, he would be broke for awhile, even though Botan had helped him pay. The day went by and soon it was time for Rose to get ready for her performance. She was to sing five songs, 'Genie in a Bottle' , 'My Immortal' , 'It's Coming Back To Me Now', 'Things I'll Never Say', and one other. Himitsu had gone shopping with her and helped her pick the 'perfect outfit'. Black pants that laced up the front all the way to the belt loops, a dark blue satin like top with fish net sleeves, it to also laced up the front, and what looked to be a pair of black ballerina shoes(a/n: I have very odd taste, that's in my closet somewhere, except the shoes, the shoes were too little).
"Himitsu, are you sure this looks right?" asked Rose as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Oh course hon! It's so you doll," he gushed over the outfit he had chose. Rose looked again, it actually didn't look that bad, she kind of liked it. Looking at the clock she saw she needed to be there in a hour, "Are you going to come Himitsu?" she asked. Himitsu took one of her hands and patted it, "Of course dear, I wouldn't miss it," he said. She hugged him, "Thank you, you're like the mother I never had," she said. "That touches my heart, and you're like the daughter I never had!" he replied and hugged her back. ( Hiei: You're sick did you know that? N: No, I just have a twisted sense of humor). Letting go she picked up her pocket book and went out the door. Her drag queen friend had done her make-up and hair, and he amazingly did it better than she could have.
It hung down her back in the softest of waves and her make up enhanced her features without being noticed, unless you were actually looking for it (a/n: Does that make sense?). The pub was pretty much dead, the staff had yet to entirely come and the band was just getting ready to set up. Takara (a/n: Not Himitsu's Takara) greeted her in her usual perky manner. "I'm so glad you decided to open for us Rose, you have such a beautiful voice," said the short haired blonde. Rose smiled, "I am too, is there a bathroom or something I can freshen up in around here?" she asked. Takara nodded, "Yes we do, it's a spare dressing room that most of the opening numbers use. Just go down the hall it's the third door on the right," replied the blonde. Rose nodded and went into the door next to the stage and took Takara's directions to her room.
"Thanks Takara, I owe you one for giving up your office for the day," said Botan coming from the corner. "No problem, anything for a high school buddy," replied Takara (a/n: Let's just say that Takara is an angel of sorts). Rose found the room easily, it wasn't too shabby either. There was a futon against the far wall, a vanity, a coffee table, and a few beanbags (a/n: Wow, that's what my room looks like...). She set her bag down on the futon and went to the vanity. The lighting was two lava lamps on either ends of the futon, which was covered by a curtain of beads, and a lamp on the vanity. Clicking on the lamp on the vanity she looked around to see if there was more to the room than what she had saw from the light in the hall.
It was comfortable, a dark blue with black trim, it reminded her of the ocean in a way. She crossed the room and pulled back the curtain of beads. A soft gasp came from her when she saw what lay there. A giant white bear hugged a large boquet of red roses that had black lillies twined with them. A small box taped to the bear's head caught her attention. Still stunned by the gifts she opened the box to find a heart shaped ruby pendent. "Oh my god..." she muttered in shock as she clasp the necklace around her neck, "No one's every gotten me anything like this before..." /Who's it from?. Rose moved the flowers to to find a tag or something that would tell her who the giver had been. Unnoticed by her, a small red envelope that had been in the boquet fluttered to the floor and was kicked under the futon by Rose.
"It doesn't say," she said with a slightly sad sigh. A knock on the door jerked Rose from her wondering of the gifts, "Miss Thompson, you're on in five," came a male voice from behind the door. "Okay, thank you," she replied and went to the vanity to check her hair and make up. /Good luck "Thanks Kuro," she replied silently and walked out the door. "When is she going to come out?" asked Yusuke grumpily. "Give her a minute Yusuke, they said it started at seven sharp and it's six fifty-nine," replied Keiko looking at her watch. They were sitting where they had been the first time they had came. Yukina then Kuwabara, Yusuke beside him to keep him from singing, Keiko beside him to keep the spirit detective in line, then Botan and Koenma, lastly Kurama with an empty chair beside him. Shizuru and Hiei were again at the bar, drinking themselves senseless (a/n: Wow Hiei, I never knew you had a drinking problem H: I didn't until I started working with you! N: What are you trying to say? H: That you drove me to drinking).
The lights dimmed and the curtain raised. A dark figure stood by the microphone and the spotlight showed it to be the lovely owner Takara. "Thank you all for coming tonight. We have two special guests tonight, one as you know is the band 'Hallucinations' (a/n: First thing to pop in my head) and a dear friend of mine who's a rising star. She's going to sing a few American songs that were selected by poll this past week. Give a warm welcome to Rose," said the blonde. The crowd cheered, many of them being the same ones that had been there the past few nights she had been singing. Rose came out and waved shyly, she wasn't much for crowds and after an introdution like that made her even more nervous.
"Thank you, first off I'm not rising star, but thank you for that sentiment Takara," she said, letting her nervousness fade. "C'mon sing Rose!" shouted Yusuke. Rose laughed as Yusuke recieved a bop on the head from Keiko, she missed them all. "Okay Yusuke, my first song for tonight is by Evanescence, it's called 'My Immortal'." i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
Rose finished and the crowd cheered, "Thank you, my next one is a bit more upbeat. 'It's All Coming Back To Me' by Celine Dion," said the redhead as she gave a quick glance at Kurama who stirred his coke with his straw, he seemed so heartbroken.
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, Baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But's all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
Al coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back to me now
And when you kiss me like this
It's all coming back to me now
And when I touch you like that
It's all coming back to me now
If you do it like this
It's all coming back to me now
And if we...
Kurama perked up a bit at this song, it gave him some hope as he looked up at the girl. "My next song is very upbeat, but it requires a quick change of costume," said Rose as she put the microphone back on it's stand and went to her room. /Again, why are you making me do this? "Because you did want to tease Youko in some way didn't you?" asked Rose. /Yes but not like this.... "Too bad, you lose," the redhead replied and let her demon form come out. "I'll get you for this...," muttered Kuro as she walked from the room, careful to conceal her ears and tail (a/n: Wonder how she did that). The silver haired girl walking onto the stage and took the mic. Many of the males in the room were entranced by her and many of the females wanted her hair. "What's she doing?" Botan asked Koenma in a whisper. He shrugged and continued to stare at the kitsune in curiousity. "This next song goes to an old friend," she said in her seductive voice, " 'Genie in a Bottle' by Chritina Aguilera."
I feel like I've been locked up tight
for a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're licking your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby. Baby. baby (Baby ,baby, baby)
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
The music's fading
The lights down low
Just one more dance
And then were gonna go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, baby)
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle (I'm a genie in a bottle)
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me (Ooh)
I can make your wish come true
(Wish come true...Woah)
Just come and set me free
And I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You Gotta rub me the right way honey
(if you wanna be with me)
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true (Ooh)
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do (Oh Yeah)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
(You gotta rub me the right way)
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free baby
And I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come, on and let me out
/I will kill that onna, so help me Buddha.... growled Youko's voice in Kurama's mind. Kurama laughed and applauded with the others, Kuro was a good singer too. She bowed and then walked back to her room to return to Rose's form. "That wasn't so bad now was it?" she asked with a laugh. /I only wish I could have seen his face Kuro snickered as Rose returned back to the stage. "Two more songs and then you'll be able to hear the band, I promise. This next one is 'Things I'll Never Say' by Avril Lavinge."
I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
(Cause) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
Yes I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
Again the crowd appluaded, even Yusuke threw in a whistle. "You know what, she's really good," said the spirit detective. "This is my last song for this evening. It's been so much fun doing this for all you. The last song is 'What I Really Meant To Say' by Cyndi Thompson," said Rose, "this song is dedicated to someone really important to me, you know who you are."
It took me by surprise
When I saw you standing there
Close enough to touch
Breathing the same air
You asked me how I've been
I guess that's when I smiled and said just fine
Oh but baby I was lyin'
What I really meant to say
Is that I'm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
Cause there's not a night I haven't cried
And baby here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
That's what I really meant to say
And as you walked away
The echo of my words
Cut just like a knife
Cut so deep it hurt
I held back the tears
Held onto my pride and watched you go
I wonder if you'll ever know
What I really meant to say
Is that I'm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
Cause there's not a night I haven't cried
And baby here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
That's what I really meant to say
What I really meant to say
Is that I'm really not that strong
No matter how I try
I'm still holding on
And here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you
That's what I really meant to say
That's what I really meant to say
That's what I really meant to say
Rose wiped away a tear that trailed down her cheek and smiled, "Thanks for playing along, enjoy the band," she said and walked away to her room. Yusuke and Kuwabara had stood up and were applauding as many others were doing. Kurama on the other hand sat stunned. /I think she was singing what she couldn't say Kurama heard Youko in the back of his mind. "D-do you think so?" asked the redheadsilently. Youko didn't reply as the redhead stood up and walked towards the door to go back stage. "Isn't love beautiful?" asked Botan through teary eyes. Koenma looked at her strangely as she watched Kurama argue with the two large bouncers by the door.
"Rocky, Bruce, let him through, he's a friend," said Takara stepping up and placing a hand on Kurama's shoulder. The bouncers moved aside and Takara opened the door. "Third door on the right," she said with a smile. Kurama nodded and walked down the hallway quickly. Rose layed on the futon staring at the roses and lillies on the vanity. Her head rested in the bear's lap as she gazed at the flowers and into the mirror. For the first time she saw the little red envelope that was under the edge of the futon. Sitting up and reaching down to pick it up she saw her name written in an a elegant scrawl (a/n: Is that a word?). She opened it carefully and read the beautiful cursive.
I didn't mean to hurt you
Or ever make you cry
It completely broke my heart
That you didn't say good-bye
I know this may sound corny
But I mean it from my heart
I die a little more
Everyday that we're apart
It was all a misunderstanding
Because these words are true
The woman I hugged was Genkai
Because I knew that loved you.
I can explain it all if you will let me.
Love,
Kurama.
Rose wiped away a tear as she layed down the letter and went to her door. It had taken Kurama a few moments to find the room but he did. Not even bothering to knock he flung it open and stepped inside. Rose stopped when she was nearly smacked by the door rocketing open. He saw Rose and rushed forward to hug her. A sigh came from him when he felt her embrace him back. "I'm so sorry I doubted you Kurama can you forgive me?" she said in one soft breath. Kurama smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. "Of course, you are my everything," he whispered before he led her into a long passionate kiss. A loud crash and explosion came from the back wall and caused the two to seperate.
As the dust settled in stepped a man with long violet hair. "Kill me once shame on me, kill me twice shame on you," he said. "Taihen," said Rose as Kurama pushed her behind him and took his rose whip from his hair. "How sweet, pretty boy's going to stop me," he said and bore his eyes into Rose's. "If you value the lives of your friends and the fox boy here, you'll give me the Kirei stone," he continued. "I'd rather die a thousand deaths and if you so much as lay a hand on them I will slice you limb from limb with my bare hands," retorted Rose. "Your funeral then," and with that the demon lunged at the two.
Nobara: I put you back together with Rose!
Kurama: But you made a demon attack us!
Nobara: It's for the good of the story
Kurama: Whatever ::leaves room::
Nobara: Not again, not even my PMS is this bad
Kurama::from other room:: I do not have male PMS!!!
Nobara: Whatever, I hope I hear back from you Sycoth, bye!
Hiei: Why do you bother? You know you only have a few readers if that

Nobara: I tried emailing you but they kept returning it, curse aol....anyways mail it to me at IxCrystalTearsxlaol.com Also, Kuro's & Youko's talking in the minds was messed up so there's going to be an alternative. /Youko /Kuro there we go.
Hiei::sarcastic:: You're brilliant
Nobara: I know
Hiei: How's Kurama doing?
Nobara: I'm not sure, I think he still suffers from male PMS
Kurama::from upstairs:: I am not suffering male PMS!
Nobara::rolls eyes:: whatever, I don't own anything, except a carton of ice cream
Hiei: Sweet snow?! ::runs to kitchen::
Nobara: NO! YOU LEAVE MY SWEET SNOW ALONE YOU LITTLE HOBBIT! ::runs after him::
Kurama lay on the couch, not moving or speaking, just staring at the ceiling. Genkai had giving strist orders to not bother him and surprisingly Yusuke and Kuwabara obeyed. Kuwabara wasn't the brightest crayon in the box but he knew that Rose had meant alot to Kurama before Kurama even had known it (a/n: Wow, maybe there's hope...). "Kurama I can go and find her for you," said Botan crouching beside the couch. Kurama shook his head, "Don't bother her, as long as she's happy with him," he said softly. Botan sighed and went to the kitchen.
"I'm worried about him Genkai," she said in a whisper throwing a glance back at the kitsune. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and even Hiei nodded in agreement. "What do you want me to do about it? Beat the happiness into him?" asked Genkai as she rummaged through the fridge for another sandwich. Botan rolled her eyes. "Well I'm going to go find the little hussy and give her a piece of my mind!" said the ferry woman grabbing her oar from beside the door. Genkai rolled her eyes and went to her room where the theme song to Three's Company could be heard.
It didn't take Botan long to find the apartment of Himitsu and she watched from the window as Rose sobbed on the shoulder of an odd looking woman (a/n: FYI, she's hovering outside the window). "There there Rose, it'll be okay, you want me to go beat the daylights out of him?" she asked in a mascular voice. Rose sat back and wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled slightly, "No, just as long as he's happy with her." Himitsu stood up and walked to the kitchen. Taking off the blonde wig and laying it on the table s/he opened the fridge and took out a few eggs. Botan nearly fell off her oar, Himitsu was a drag queen.
"You want some dinner? And then you can tell me what happened," he said. Rose shook her head, "I'm not hungry, but you go ahead," she replied. So Botan waited for Himitsu to make his omlette and sit back down beside Rose on the sagging couch. "Well during rehearsal today it dawned on me that I loved Kurama, more than anything else," the redhead began. Botan listened intently to her, wanting to know why she had left if she cared for him so much. "When I came home I decided to tell him. He wasn't in the house so I went to look for him. I found him with his friend Yusuke, he was hugging some strange girl and looked very happy. He said he loved her and kissed her on the forehead and then I disappeared to here," said Rose giving a summary of the account. "Well did you think that maybe it was his sister?" asked Himitsu. Botan laughed slightly, Rose had mistook Genkai for 'the other woman'.
The ferry woman nearly lost her balance again as she waited for Rose's response. "Well, you see a close friend of mine that once dated him said that he did the same thing to her," she replied. Curiousity taking over the ferry woman she took off again to Koenma's office to find Kuro and Youko's files. "Oh, well then hon you were better off without him," said Himitsu. Rose nodded, "I'm going to go to bed," she said. "Okay, you can sleep in Takara's bed, she'd out of town for the week," he called after the redhead who disappeared down the hall.
Botan had spent several hours rummaging through files that envolved Youko and Kuroyuri. "Bingo! 'Partners'," the ferry girl read the many pages that gave a detailed description on the relationship between the two kitsunes (a/n: Wonder how they got that...). "Oh..." Botan read with deep interest before zooming away back to Genkai's. Kurama had yet to move from his spot on the couch and Kuwabara and Yusuke watched him. "He hasn't moved in four straight hours, it's starting to creep me out," said Kuwabara as Botan came in unnoticed. Pulling the two into the indoor gym Botan began to explain hurridly all she knew.
"So you see history repeated itself!" she said. Kuwabara had a dumb look on his face, "Could you explain that again?" he asked. Botan sighed, "Kuro saw Youko with his sister Tetsuma. Kuro thought Tetsuma was another woman. She betrayed Youko because she thought Youko had betrayed her. Now Rose saw Kurama hug Genkai and Rose thought Genkai was another woman. Now Kurama thinks Rose has run off with a guy named Himitsu, but Himitsu is a drag queen friend of Rose's. Is that clear enough?" said Botan slowly. Kuwabara nodded, "So how do we get the two star crossed lovers back together?" asked Yusuke. Botan smiled, "We begin Operation Black Lillies and Red Roses."
Botan left the two behind and went into the living room. Hiei watched with interest as the ferry onna stormed in and picked Kurama up by the shirt collar. "Do you miss Rsoe?" she asked, Kurama looked at her with wide eyes and nodded. "Do you want to get her back?" she asked again and Kurama nodded. "Then I will help you win her back!" shouted Botan dropping the kitsune back onto the couch. Kurama watched halfway stunned halfway curious as Botan went upstairs to his room. "Kurama you don't have any clothes!" she shouted running from his room with a few shirts in either hand.
He looked around at the clothes on his floor and then at Botan, "Yes I do, they're just all over the floor...Botan what are you doing?" he asked her. Botan smiled, "I'm going to help you get back the best thing that ever happened to you or Youko," she responded happily. Kurama arched his eyebrow in curiousity, "What do you mean? She won't come back," he replied. Botan wagged a finger in front of his nose, "Everything has been a big misunderstanding, all you have to do is call her," she said, handing him a cell phone and the phone book. Himitsu's number was highlighted and Kurama nervously dialed it.
Rose was nearly asleep when Himitsu came into her room and handed her the phone. "It's him," he said simply and left. "Hello?" she asked groggily. "Rose? It's Kurama," he said. Botan poked him in the ribs wanting him to continue but he didn't know what to say. "Um, so how's it going?" he asked and Botan slapped her own forehead, guys were hopeless. Rose felt her heart drop a little more, "Okay, I'm fine, you?" she spoke softly into the reciever. "I'm fine too, Rose listen-" started Kurama but was cut off. "Kurama it's okay, I understand that you don't want to be with me, the feeling's mutual," said Rose as she wiped away a tear from her cheek. "But Rose it's n-" he started again only to be cut off once again by Rose. "Kurama, don't call me again, good-bye," and with that she hung up the phone.
Kurama held the phone and listened to the operator, not believing his ears. Botan saw from the expression on his face it hadn't gone well, "Should I explain?" she asked softly. Kurama turned off the phone and nodded his head. The ferry woman told everything she had known about it and waited for Kurama's response. "A misunderstanding, does she know?" he asked softly. Botan shook her head, "Then we should tell her," he said standing up and walking to the door. "Woah, wait a minute lover boy, we need to make a few adjustments. In the morning!" said Botan yanking him back by the arm. Kurama nodded and sat back on the bed, "Thank you Botan," he said softly as she left the room.
The next morning Kurama was awoken by the soft of Botan's cheerful voice as she entered his room. "Wake up fox boy! It's time to shop!" Before he had fully woken Kurama found himself in the mall he had been in a few short days before. "Okay so I see red silk and black velvet.." , "I am not wearing velvet Botan..." , "Fine, but I see you in a red silk shirt, black wife beater, and black pants," she said and bounded away into the nearest men's store dragging Kurama behind her. After a long argument that Kurama lost, he found himself wearing the before mentioned outfit, and surprisingly looked good in it (a/n: My cousin's friend wore this to a birthday dinner and he looked so hot..).
"Oh my god Kurama, we're going to have to beat them off with a stick!" said Botan as she took out her purse to pay for half of the outfit. "Now for gifts!" again the ferry onna bounded away dragging Kurama along with her. By the time they had left they had a stuffed bear, a large boquet, and a heart shaped ruby pendent. Kurama was overwhelmed by how much he had spent, he would be broke for awhile, even though Botan had helped him pay. The day went by and soon it was time for Rose to get ready for her performance. She was to sing five songs, 'Genie in a Bottle' , 'My Immortal' , 'It's Coming Back To Me Now', 'Things I'll Never Say', and one other. Himitsu had gone shopping with her and helped her pick the 'perfect outfit'. Black pants that laced up the front all the way to the belt loops, a dark blue satin like top with fish net sleeves, it to also laced up the front, and what looked to be a pair of black ballerina shoes(a/n: I have very odd taste, that's in my closet somewhere, except the shoes, the shoes were too little).
"Himitsu, are you sure this looks right?" asked Rose as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Oh course hon! It's so you doll," he gushed over the outfit he had chose. Rose looked again, it actually didn't look that bad, she kind of liked it. Looking at the clock she saw she needed to be there in a hour, "Are you going to come Himitsu?" she asked. Himitsu took one of her hands and patted it, "Of course dear, I wouldn't miss it," he said. She hugged him, "Thank you, you're like the mother I never had," she said. "That touches my heart, and you're like the daughter I never had!" he replied and hugged her back. ( Hiei: You're sick did you know that? N: No, I just have a twisted sense of humor). Letting go she picked up her pocket book and went out the door. Her drag queen friend had done her make-up and hair, and he amazingly did it better than she could have.
It hung down her back in the softest of waves and her make up enhanced her features without being noticed, unless you were actually looking for it (a/n: Does that make sense?). The pub was pretty much dead, the staff had yet to entirely come and the band was just getting ready to set up. Takara (a/n: Not Himitsu's Takara) greeted her in her usual perky manner. "I'm so glad you decided to open for us Rose, you have such a beautiful voice," said the short haired blonde. Rose smiled, "I am too, is there a bathroom or something I can freshen up in around here?" she asked. Takara nodded, "Yes we do, it's a spare dressing room that most of the opening numbers use. Just go down the hall it's the third door on the right," replied the blonde. Rose nodded and went into the door next to the stage and took Takara's directions to her room.
"Thanks Takara, I owe you one for giving up your office for the day," said Botan coming from the corner. "No problem, anything for a high school buddy," replied Takara (a/n: Let's just say that Takara is an angel of sorts). Rose found the room easily, it wasn't too shabby either. There was a futon against the far wall, a vanity, a coffee table, and a few beanbags (a/n: Wow, that's what my room looks like...). She set her bag down on the futon and went to the vanity. The lighting was two lava lamps on either ends of the futon, which was covered by a curtain of beads, and a lamp on the vanity. Clicking on the lamp on the vanity she looked around to see if there was more to the room than what she had saw from the light in the hall.
It was comfortable, a dark blue with black trim, it reminded her of the ocean in a way. She crossed the room and pulled back the curtain of beads. A soft gasp came from her when she saw what lay there. A giant white bear hugged a large boquet of red roses that had black lillies twined with them. A small box taped to the bear's head caught her attention. Still stunned by the gifts she opened the box to find a heart shaped ruby pendent. "Oh my god..." she muttered in shock as she clasp the necklace around her neck, "No one's every gotten me anything like this before..." /Who's it from?. Rose moved the flowers to to find a tag or something that would tell her who the giver had been. Unnoticed by her, a small red envelope that had been in the boquet fluttered to the floor and was kicked under the futon by Rose.
"It doesn't say," she said with a slightly sad sigh. A knock on the door jerked Rose from her wondering of the gifts, "Miss Thompson, you're on in five," came a male voice from behind the door. "Okay, thank you," she replied and went to the vanity to check her hair and make up. /Good luck "Thanks Kuro," she replied silently and walked out the door. "When is she going to come out?" asked Yusuke grumpily. "Give her a minute Yusuke, they said it started at seven sharp and it's six fifty-nine," replied Keiko looking at her watch. They were sitting where they had been the first time they had came. Yukina then Kuwabara, Yusuke beside him to keep him from singing, Keiko beside him to keep the spirit detective in line, then Botan and Koenma, lastly Kurama with an empty chair beside him. Shizuru and Hiei were again at the bar, drinking themselves senseless (a/n: Wow Hiei, I never knew you had a drinking problem H: I didn't until I started working with you! N: What are you trying to say? H: That you drove me to drinking).
The lights dimmed and the curtain raised. A dark figure stood by the microphone and the spotlight showed it to be the lovely owner Takara. "Thank you all for coming tonight. We have two special guests tonight, one as you know is the band 'Hallucinations' (a/n: First thing to pop in my head) and a dear friend of mine who's a rising star. She's going to sing a few American songs that were selected by poll this past week. Give a warm welcome to Rose," said the blonde. The crowd cheered, many of them being the same ones that had been there the past few nights she had been singing. Rose came out and waved shyly, she wasn't much for crowds and after an introdution like that made her even more nervous.
"Thank you, first off I'm not rising star, but thank you for that sentiment Takara," she said, letting her nervousness fade. "C'mon sing Rose!" shouted Yusuke. Rose laughed as Yusuke recieved a bop on the head from Keiko, she missed them all. "Okay Yusuke, my first song for tonight is by Evanescence, it's called 'My Immortal'." i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
Rose finished and the crowd cheered, "Thank you, my next one is a bit more upbeat. 'It's All Coming Back To Me' by Celine Dion," said the redhead as she gave a quick glance at Kurama who stirred his coke with his straw, he seemed so heartbroken.
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, Baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But's all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
Al coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back to me now
And when you kiss me like this
It's all coming back to me now
And when I touch you like that
It's all coming back to me now
If you do it like this
It's all coming back to me now
And if we...
Kurama perked up a bit at this song, it gave him some hope as he looked up at the girl. "My next song is very upbeat, but it requires a quick change of costume," said Rose as she put the microphone back on it's stand and went to her room. /Again, why are you making me do this? "Because you did want to tease Youko in some way didn't you?" asked Rose. /Yes but not like this.... "Too bad, you lose," the redhead replied and let her demon form come out. "I'll get you for this...," muttered Kuro as she walked from the room, careful to conceal her ears and tail (a/n: Wonder how she did that). The silver haired girl walking onto the stage and took the mic. Many of the males in the room were entranced by her and many of the females wanted her hair. "What's she doing?" Botan asked Koenma in a whisper. He shrugged and continued to stare at the kitsune in curiousity. "This next song goes to an old friend," she said in her seductive voice, " 'Genie in a Bottle' by Chritina Aguilera."
I feel like I've been locked up tight
for a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone to release me
You're licking your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby. Baby. baby (Baby ,baby, baby)
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
The music's fading
The lights down low
Just one more dance
And then were gonna go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby (baby, baby, baby)
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle (I'm a genie in a bottle)
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me (Ooh)
I can make your wish come true
(Wish come true...Woah)
Just come and set me free
And I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
You Gotta rub me the right way honey
(if you wanna be with me)
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come on and let me out
Ooh (my body is saying let's go)
Ooh (but my heart is saying no)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true (Ooh)
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do (Oh Yeah)
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way
(You gotta rub me the right way)
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free baby
And I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come, on and let me out
/I will kill that onna, so help me Buddha.... growled Youko's voice in Kurama's mind. Kurama laughed and applauded with the others, Kuro was a good singer too. She bowed and then walked back to her room to return to Rose's form. "That wasn't so bad now was it?" she asked with a laugh. /I only wish I could have seen his face Kuro snickered as Rose returned back to the stage. "Two more songs and then you'll be able to hear the band, I promise. This next one is 'Things I'll Never Say' by Avril Lavinge."
I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
(Cause) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
Yes I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
Again the crowd appluaded, even Yusuke threw in a whistle. "You know what, she's really good," said the spirit detective. "This is my last song for this evening. It's been so much fun doing this for all you. The last song is 'What I Really Meant To Say' by Cyndi Thompson," said Rose, "this song is dedicated to someone really important to me, you know who you are."
It took me by surprise
When I saw you standing there
Close enough to touch
Breathing the same air
You asked me how I've been
I guess that's when I smiled and said just fine
Oh but baby I was lyin'
What I really meant to say
Is that I'm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
Cause there's not a night I haven't cried
And baby here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
That's what I really meant to say
And as you walked away
The echo of my words
Cut just like a knife
Cut so deep it hurt
I held back the tears
Held onto my pride and watched you go
I wonder if you'll ever know
What I really meant to say
Is that I'm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
Cause there's not a night I haven't cried
And baby here's the truth
I'm still in love with you
That's what I really meant to say
What I really meant to say
Is that I'm really not that strong
No matter how I try
I'm still holding on
And here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you
That's what I really meant to say
That's what I really meant to say
That's what I really meant to say
Rose wiped away a tear that trailed down her cheek and smiled, "Thanks for playing along, enjoy the band," she said and walked away to her room. Yusuke and Kuwabara had stood up and were applauding as many others were doing. Kurama on the other hand sat stunned. /I think she was singing what she couldn't say Kurama heard Youko in the back of his mind. "D-do you think so?" asked the redheadsilently. Youko didn't reply as the redhead stood up and walked towards the door to go back stage. "Isn't love beautiful?" asked Botan through teary eyes. Koenma looked at her strangely as she watched Kurama argue with the two large bouncers by the door.
"Rocky, Bruce, let him through, he's a friend," said Takara stepping up and placing a hand on Kurama's shoulder. The bouncers moved aside and Takara opened the door. "Third door on the right," she said with a smile. Kurama nodded and walked down the hallway quickly. Rose layed on the futon staring at the roses and lillies on the vanity. Her head rested in the bear's lap as she gazed at the flowers and into the mirror. For the first time she saw the little red envelope that was under the edge of the futon. Sitting up and reaching down to pick it up she saw her name written in an a elegant scrawl (a/n: Is that a word?). She opened it carefully and read the beautiful cursive.
I didn't mean to hurt you
Or ever make you cry
It completely broke my heart
That you didn't say good-bye
I know this may sound corny
But I mean it from my heart
I die a little more
Everyday that we're apart
It was all a misunderstanding
Because these words are true
The woman I hugged was Genkai
Because I knew that loved you.
I can explain it all if you will let me.
Love,
Kurama.
Rose wiped away a tear as she layed down the letter and went to her door. It had taken Kurama a few moments to find the room but he did. Not even bothering to knock he flung it open and stepped inside. Rose stopped when she was nearly smacked by the door rocketing open. He saw Rose and rushed forward to hug her. A sigh came from him when he felt her embrace him back. "I'm so sorry I doubted you Kurama can you forgive me?" she said in one soft breath. Kurama smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. "Of course, you are my everything," he whispered before he led her into a long passionate kiss. A loud crash and explosion came from the back wall and caused the two to seperate.
As the dust settled in stepped a man with long violet hair. "Kill me once shame on me, kill me twice shame on you," he said. "Taihen," said Rose as Kurama pushed her behind him and took his rose whip from his hair. "How sweet, pretty boy's going to stop me," he said and bore his eyes into Rose's. "If you value the lives of your friends and the fox boy here, you'll give me the Kirei stone," he continued. "I'd rather die a thousand deaths and if you so much as lay a hand on them I will slice you limb from limb with my bare hands," retorted Rose. "Your funeral then," and with that the demon lunged at the two.
Nobara: I put you back together with Rose!
Kurama: But you made a demon attack us!
Nobara: It's for the good of the story
Kurama: Whatever ::leaves room::
Nobara: Not again, not even my PMS is this bad
Kurama::from other room:: I do not have male PMS!!!
Nobara: Whatever, I hope I hear back from you Sycoth, bye!
