Disclaimer: I own Kelly, Sam, Caina, Tiori, Katsuya, Terry, Kadi, Kyano, Bria, and me. Oh yeah, and the Artifacts of Fantasia, The Shoryukens, and Kira.

Notes: I had planned them entering another Dark Tournament, but decided against it. I decided a singing contest would be more fun. Enjoy!

Pen Pals 10: The Singing Contest and The Ten Artifacts of Fantasia

We walked into the arena. "Representing the Makai," said the announcer, Kira, "Tiori and Katsuya!" The crowd cheered. "Representing Reikai, Hibikime!" More loud cheering. "Representing Ningenkai, The Shoryukens!" More cheers. "And representing the combined worlds, the Demonic Angels!" The crowd went nuts. "We'll begin with Hibikime." A young girl with blue hair and black eyes walked into the arena. She wore a green dress.

'Early morning,

she wakes up

Knock, knock, knock

on the door

It's time for make-up

Perfect smile

It's you they're all

waiting for

They go.

"Isn't she lovely, this

Hollywood girl?"

She's so lucky, she's a star

But she cry, cry, cries in her

Lonely heart, thinking

If there's nothing missing

In my life

Then why do these tears come

At night?

Lost in an image,

in a dream

But there's no one there to

Wake her up

And the world is spinning,

and she keeps on winning

But tell me what happens when

it stops?

They go.

"Isn't she lovely, this

Hollywood girl?"

She's so lucky, she's a star

But she cry, cry, cries in her

lonely heart, thinking

If there's nothing missing

in my life

Then why do these tears come

at night?

Isn't she lucky, this

Hollywood girl?

She is so lucky, but why does

she cry?

If there's nothing missing in

her life

Why do tears come

at night?

She's so lucky, she's a star

But she cry, cry, cries in her

lonely heart, thinking

If there's nothing missing

in my life

Then why do these tears come

at night?'

The crowd booed loudly. "Sorry Hibikime," said Kira, "But you're out! Next we have Katsuya and Tiori!" Two guys walked into the arena. One had silver hair and crimson eyes. He wore an outfit similar to the one Shishi Wakamaru wore. "I'm Tiori," he said. The other guy, Katsuya, had light brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a white t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers, a light blue jacket, and a strange necklace.

'Miracles happen, miracles happen

You showed me faith is not blind

I don't need wings to help me fly

Miracles happen, miracles happen

I can't imagine living my life without you now

Not ever having you around

We found our way out

(on you I can depend)

Don't have to look back to realize how far we've come

There are million reasons

I'm lookin up

I don't want this to end

Nothin

Nothin should ever bring you down

Knowing what goes around will come around

You showed me faith is not blind

I don't need wings to help me fly

Miracles happen, once in a while

When you believe

(miracles happen)

You showed me dreams come to light

That takin a chance on us was right

All things will come with a little time

When You believe

There is no question we found the missing pieces

Our picture is complete

It's fallen into place

(it's fallen into place)

This is out moment, you and I are looking up

Someone is watching over us

Keeping me close

Closer to you everyday

Nowhere

Nowhere on earth i'd rather be

No one can take this away from you and me

You showed me faith is not blind

I don't need wings to help me fly

Miracles happen, once in a while

When you believe

(miracles happen)

You showed me dreams come to light

That takin a chance on us was right

All things will come with a little time

When You believe

When you believe

The soul is a shining light

When you believe

The heart has the will to fight

You can do anything, don't be afraid

We're gonna find our way

You showed me faith is not blind

I don't need wings to help me fly

Miracles happen, once in a while

When you believe

(miracles happen)

You showed me dreams come to light

That takin a chance on us was right

All things will come with a little time

When You believe'

The applause was deafening. "We have competition," said Bria. The Shoryukens got on stage. The music started up.

'(So yesterday)

(So yesterday)

(So yesterday)

You can change your life

(if you wanna)

You can change your clothes

(if you wanna)

If can change your mind

Well that's the way it goes

But I'm gonna keep your jeans

And your old black hat

('Cuz I wanna)

They look good on me

You're never gonna get them back

At least not today

Not today

Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

Thats already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok

Ha!

Okay

You can say you're bored

(If you wanna)

You could act real tough

(If you wanna)

You could say you're torn

But I've heard enough

Thank you

You've made my mind up for me

When you started to ignore me

You won't see a single tear

It isn't gonna happen here

At least not today

Not today

Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok

If you're over me

I'm already over you

If it's all been done

What is left to do

How can you hang up

If the line is dead

If you wanna walk out

I'm a step ahead

If you're moving on

I'm already gone

If the light is off

Then it isn't on

At least not today

Not today

Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

Thats already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

Thats already flown away

Laugh it off

Let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok'

The crowd booed louder than before. It was our turn to sing. "We're singing the song that made us famous," said Kelly.

'He was a boy

She was a girl

Can I make it any more obvious

He was a punk

She did ballet

What more can I say

He wanted her

She'd never tell

Secretly she wanted him as well

But all of her friends

Stuck up their nose

They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy

She said see you later boy

He wasn't good enough for her

She had a pretty face

But her head was up in space

She needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now

She sits at home

Feeding the baby, she's all alone

She turns on T.V.

Guess who she sees

Skater boy rockin' up MTV

She calls up her friends

They already know

And they've all got

Tickets to see his show

She tags along

Stands in the crowd

Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy

She said see you later boy

He wasn't good enough for her

Now he's a super star

Slamming on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy

She said see you later boy

He wasn't good enough for her

Now he's a super star

Slamming on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl, but you missed out

Well tough luck, that boy's mine now

We are more than just good friends

This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see

See the man that boy could be

There is more than meets the eye

I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy

And I'm just a girl

Can I make it any more obvious

We are in love

Haven't you heard

How we rock each other's world

I'm with the skater boy

I said see you later boy

I'll be backstage after the show

I'll be at the studio

Singing the song we wrote

About the girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy

I said see you later boy

I'll be backstage after the show

I'll be at the studio

Singing the song we wrote

About the girl you used to know'

The applause was lauder than it had ever been. Hiei hugged me tightly. "Come back tomorrow to see the Demonic Angels face off against Tiori and Katsuya!" yelled Kira.

"That was so much fun!" said Caina. "Yeah," agreed Terry. "We're gonna win!" said Kyano. "Totally," said Kadi. "I say we have competition," said Bria. "You're right," I said, "Katsuya and Tiori are good." "Where's Hiei?" asked Kurama. I shrugged my shoulders. "Hello," I turned to face Tiori and Katsuya. "Hi," I said, "What's up?" "We came to check out the competition," said Tiori. "They seem normal to me," said Katsuya. "Does that necklace have some magical powers?" I asked, "Or is it just supposed to make you look good?" Katsuya smiled. "You're pretty," he said, "Ya know that?" "Sorry," I said, "I'm taken." "By whom?" asked Katsuya. "By me." I hugged Hiei. "Where were you?" I asked. "I had some business to take care of," Hiei said, "We need to find the rest of the artifacts." He handed me an armband and a ring. I pocketed the items. "This is Katsuya and Tiori," I said. Hiei glared at them. Katsuya took off his necklace and handed it to me. "See ya around, babe," he said as he and Tiori walked away.

I put on the necklace. "We gotta go," said Bria. "I'm coming," I said. I walked onto the stage. Katsuya stood next to me. "Good luck," he said, "You'll need it." "Thanks," I said, "But you're the one who needs luck." Hiei snuck up behind me. "Don't even think about it," I warned. Hiei hugged me. "How did you know I was sneaking up on you?" he asked. "I have no idea," I said. "Welcome back!" said Kira, "It's the Demonic Angels vs. Katsuya and Tiori!" The crowd went nuts. "We'll start with the Demonic Angels!"

'Hey now

Hey now

Hey now

Hey now

Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?

I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright

When i see you smile and i go

oh oh oh

i would never want to miss this

cuz in my heart i know what this is

Hey now

Hey now

This is what dreams are made of

Hey now

Hey now

This is what dreams are made of

I've got somewhere i belong

I've got somebody to love

This is what dreams are made of

Have you ever wondered what life is about?

You could search the world and never figure it out

you don't have to sail all the oceans

no no no

happiness is no mystery and

here now it's you and me

Hey now

Hey now

This is what dreams are made of

Hey now

Hey now

This is what dreams are made of

I've got somewhere i belong

This is what dreams are made of

Open your eyes

Then i see u smile and i go

Yesterday my life was duller

Now everything's technicolor

Hey now

This is what dreams

"Next, we've got Tiori and Katsuya!" cried Kira.

'Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what's wrong with taking the back streets

You'll never know if you don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder

You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older

But the meteor men beg to differ

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin

The waters getting warm so you might as well swim

My world's on fire how about yours

That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

Somebody once asked could you spare some change for gas

I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep what a concept

I could use a little fuel myself

And we could all use a little change

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what's wrong with taking the back streets

You'll never know if you don't go

You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold'

"Uh-oh!" said Kira, "Looks like we have a tie!" "We won't for long!" said Kelly.

'The tide is high

But I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kinda girl

Who gives up just like that Oh no

It's not the things you do

That tease and hurt me bad

But it's the way you do the things

You do to me

I'm not the kinda girl

Who gives up just like that

Oh no

The tide is high

But I'm holding on

I'm gonna be your #1

The tide is high

Every girl wants

You to be her man

The tide is high

But I'm holding on

Everytime that I get

The feeling

You give me something

To believe in

Everytime that I got

You near me

I don't believe that

I want it to be

But you know that

I'm gonna take

My chance now

I'm gonna make

It happen somehow

And you know I can

Take the pressure

A moment's pain for

A lifetime pleasure

Every girl wants you to be her man

But I'll wait right here

'Til it's my turn

"Beat this!" said Tiori.

'Now I will tell you what I've done for you

50,000 tears I cry

Screaming,

Deceiving,

And bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me

....GO AWAY....

Don't want your hand this time

I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)

Not tormented daily defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reach the bottom

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)

Drowning with you (drowning with you)

I'm falling forever (falling forever)

I've got to break through

I'm, going under

Blurring and stirring the truth that comes out

(I don't know what's real and what's not)

Always confusing the thoughts is my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)

Drowning with you (drowning with you)

I'm falling forever (falling forever)

I've got to break through,

I'm, so go on and scream

Scream at me, so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to breathe

I can't keep going under

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)

Drowning with you (drowning with you)

I'm falling forever (falling forever)

I've got to break through,

I'm, going under (going under)

Going under (drowning with you)

I'm going under

"We can beat that!" said Sam, "And we will!" "Hiei, what do you suggest?" I asked. "Your song," he said.

'Walkin' out, sayin' hi to my friends

Tonight it's gonna be me and you again

I walk out the door and then,

You aren't there

Just hold me down

Now that I've fallen

I'm not running away from this again

Not running away

I ran outside

I was tryin to find you

You were not there

I was so scared

Just hold me down

Now that I've fallen

I'm not running away from this again

Not running away

I tripped and fell in the mud

I cut myself and out dripped blood

You reached out and helped me

And then you gave me something more

Just hold me down

Now that I've fallen

I'm not running away from this again

Not running away

You are my love

You are life

I hope you will love me

As much as I love you

Just hold me down

Now that I've fallen

I'm not running away from this again

Not running away

Now I know you truly love me

I will not run away

Never again

I will never run from fate again

Just hold me down

Now that I've fallen

I'm not running away from this again

Not running away'

The applause was deafening. "We have a winner!" yelled Kira.

AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was so much fun to write. OMG! I just realized that this is the tenth chapter! R/R Ja mata!
