OK, ITS KAREOKE TIME! This is just a fun chappy, I had to write, because Rini is obsessed with kareoke, and so am I! This is mainly going to be the characters singing, and most of the songs are going to be from Tenchi Muyo! Because I have the cd, and I know the words. Anyway, ENJOY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rini was walking with Moon-Ohki, looking at stores. (I got this idea off InuYasha) Koenma let Rini keep the shard of the Rainbow Crystal she had found, Rini had put it on a chain and wore it as a necklace. (like Kagome does) they walked by an 'Ultimate Electronics' store, and Rini was frozen in her tracks. She looked in the window at some brand new, very expensive kareoke machines. "uh..Rini, what are you looking at…" Moon-Ohki asked Rini looked down at her with a strange grin on her face. About an hour later, Rini called everyone to Kuwabara's house. (Yusuke lives in an apartment remember) Rini came out into the living room, carrying a box, Moon-Ohki was standing next to her, sweatdropping. "so why did you call us all here anyway Rini?" Daimon asked. Rini opened the box, and hooked up the kareoke machine that was inside. "TA DAH!!" Rini said pointing to the kareoke machine. Everyone sweatdropped. "a kareoke machine" Yue said. Kitsune studied the machine, "isn't this one of those new REALLY expensive ones?" she asked. "ya, I think it is" Sakura said. "uh, Rini, where'd you get the money to buy this?" Yusuke asked."Ya I was wondering the same thing" Moon-Ohki said. Rini sweatdropped,"well…I used the money mom, dad, and the other scouts gave us" Rini said. Everyone sweatdropped and fell over, "YOU WHAT!! OH GREAT NOW WE'RE POOR!!!!" Moon-Ohki shouted. "who cares about money when we have this kareoke machine! Now come on you guys, lets get this party going! I'll start!" Rini said cheerfully, picking up the microphone, music started playing and Rini started to sing:

"Honey it hurts what you've done to me

I'd even call it a tragedy

Now that you've told me the name of your new love

How I wish that you didn't say what you said, wish it was some other girl instead

I don't know why you need a guy

*chorus

younger, stronger, a friend no longer

this bad boy, you adore, need much more

leave me forever and run to your Hiroshi

He is soft and he is beautiful

How I've admired the silky hair

Of Hiroshi…your Hiroshi

Guess I thought the one he wanted was me

All those nights we three hung around, how could I know you'd let me down

You had feelings, for Hiroshi

No one is a greater fool than me

Love's a battle I don't wanna fight, I'll be crying far into the night

I'm in despair what do you care

You never cared at all

Honey it hurts what you've done to me

I'd even call it a tragedy

Now that you've told me the name of your new love

Since we met I've put up with a lot of things

Never the pain your new passion brings

I don't know why you need a guy

*chorus

though he's smart, he has an evil heart

don't you believe the tender words

of Hiroshi

once the one who knew him better was me

as a friend, and a confidante

How can he be the one you want

How I hate him

Your Hiroshi

So much more than if he were a she

Ride together in some flashy car

Drink together in some silly bar

I'm in despair, what do you care

You never cared at all

Baby I'm blue and its you I blame

I wanna die when I say his name

Now I know why you've turned into a stranger

Should I smile and pretend that its really fine

Buy you two sweaters at Christmas time

Don't make me lie, go to your guy"

*chorus (by the way, Hiroshi is no one, and this is a song from Tenchi)

The song ended and Rini bowed. Most of the people clapped (except for Kage, Kestrel, Ha Sota, and Hiei) "I'll go next!" Moon-Ohki said in a very hyper voice, and took the microphone from Rini. Rini and the others sweatdropped as Moon-Ohki started to sing:

"Give me a break, give me a break

break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar-"

she was cut off by Rini, who took the microphone from her. "we want real songs Moon-Ohki!" she shouted, Moon-Ohki frowned. "oh, all right…" "hey Kitsune, why don't you come up here" Rini said. Kitsune blushed, "um…all right. Rini gave Kitsune the microphone and she, looking at Yusuke, sang:

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound


Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd


And I need you
And I miss you
But now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight


Though it's times like these
When I think of you
I wonder if you ever think of me
With everything so wrong
And I don't belong
I'm living in your precious memory

'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
But now I wonder
If I would fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

And I
I
Don't want to let you know
I
I don't need your memories
I
I don't want to let this go
I
I don't...

Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound


Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still miss you
And I still need you
But now I wonder...


If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you

If I could just hold you
Tonight...

(for those of you who don't know, that's by Vanessa Carlton)

Everyone clapped for Kitsune. "Yukina, why don't you sing something" Rini said handing yukina the microphone. Yukina blushed, "um…"she sad in a shy voice. "come on, its easy!" rini said cheerfully, showing Yukina something, and Yukina started to sing her song:

"I've been lost and low since you let me go

full of pain I hide

telling all my friends, everything must end but I'm not torn up inside

'cause when the moon's in the heavens and the stars are so bright

I have my memories

that's when I journey

to some other night

follow my fantasies, and oh how real they seem

I close my eyes and I dream

Dream away, dream he'll say

He still feels the passion we had way back when

Dream away, dream he'll stay

One more night I know he'll fall in love again

People wonder why I can't meet a guy to mend my broken heart

I guess I should, but its just no good, I stop before I start

'cause when I think of his loving, imagine his kiss

no other guy will do

to much I treasure, to much I miss

I want my fantasies, and oh how real they seem

I close my eyes and I dream

Dream away, dream he'll say

He still feels the passion we had way back when

Dream away, dream he'll stay

One more night I know he'll fall in love again

Dream away, dream he'll say

No one sets his soul on fire like I do

Dream away, dream he'll stay

Hold me close and tell me you'll be dreaming to"

Yukina blushed and bowed. Kuwabara went over to Yukina blushing. "oh, you were wonderful Yukina my sweet. Yukina sweatdropped. "now is shall sing to you my love" Kuwabara rambled on. Yukina backed away. And Kuwabara started to sing: (by the way this is not Kuwabara/Yukina, Kuwie's just being stupid.)

"I like big butts, and I cannot lie-"

before he could continue, Rini, Botan, Kitsune, Ha Sota, Sakura, Yue, and Daimon, took away the microphone, and slapped him for being such a pervert. Ha Sota was going to go instead.

"Life is so full of hurry and hustle, sometimes I think its passing us by

days are like hours, hours like minutes

I'm caught up in it till I look in your eyes

And to my surprise I find there is a heaven

Timeless and real making me feel, free, and alive

*chorus

you touch me, you kiss me, and time has no meaning

I'm on a rocket to some other zone

Baby, you thrill me whatever your doing

Don't think of stopping until we are light years away

All alone..'cause I want to keep this treasure for my very own

Your talent for love--"

Ha Sota was cut off by a punch from Rini, who had realized that the song was completely directed at Kurama. "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!!??" Ha Sota yelled. Rini whispered some things to her ear and Ha Sota smiled and agreed to what she said. Then they both started to sing:

Ha Sota: when you go fishing, you catch a boot, or some other trash. When you play your cards, you lose all your cash

Rini: your so pathetic, you never win, and you never will. Not the kind of girl who'd make any guy feel the thrill. I'm sorry, you'll never be a goddess like me, step aside, this is how its got to be. I'll get the guy, yes I'm the one, who will always win the day, I'm strong, and I am beautiful, what more can I say?

Ha Sota: I'll get the guy, he'll hold me close, till the very end of time. When you lose, how you will moan and cry

Both: 'cause the guy will be mine!

Rini: while you've been braggin' I had to laugh, at your silly boasts, clearly I'm the one, that he loves the most-

Ha Sota (cuts in): because I'm gentle, and I'm refined, like you'll never be

Rini: I have won his heart, it's a prize you won't steal from me

Ha Sota: forget it, your words won't mean a thing in the end-

Rini (cuts in): he'd be glad not to see your face again. I'll get the guy, each time I try in a sweet and quiet way. I'm a queen, and you're a hopeless fool, that's all I can say

Ha Sota: there's so much love he and I were meant to find-

Rini (cuts in): you can stay with all the other girls

Both: 'cause the guy will be mine!

Both: I'll get the guy, yes I'm the one--

Rini and ha Sota started fighting, but Kitsune cut in. she called over the other girls,(kage didn't go over) and they started whispering things to eachother, then they turned around smiling cheerfully, and Kitsune started off singing:

"Did you know, I am a pioneer, I'm out on a secret mission

I travel the galaxy, and far beyond…"

Music started playing and the other girls joined in:

Can't you see that I am a pioneer, unlocking the greatest mysteries

My key is a fearless heart so pure and strong

People laugh when you are a pioneer, not walking the straight and narrow

They tell you the way things are, they swear your wrong

You can't be a hero hiding underneath your bed

Got to live the life, you create inside your head

So I opened the window, caught the wind one night

Now I sail with the birds in their flight

If your tired of everything come hitch a ride with me

You'll cry out with joy when you realize your free

It's a trip like no other for your heart and mind

Leaving all but the future far behind

Some will say your safer here

Never mind them-be a pioneer!

Can't you see that you are a pioneer not one of the endless talkers

Who tell you the same old rules you've heard before

I can tell that you are a pioneer

You want to be facing danger, not happy to hide your big dreams anymore

You are a pioneer, the same as me

(guitar solo)

you can't be a hero hiding underneath your bed

so we'll live the life we've created in our heads

we'll wake up every morning in a whole new place

on a road reaching out into space

some will say your safer here, never mind them-be a pioneer!

Hand in hand we'll journey as pioneers

Unlocking the greatest mysteries

Don't listen to anyone who says your wrong

They can't stop you when you're a pioneer, for truth is your greatest weapon

Out there in the cosmos where we both belong

A place for pioneers, like you and me

Through the ages we will be pioneers, we'll go out on secret missions

We'll travel the galaxy and far beyond

Its our destiny to be pioneers we'll always be moving forward

Our courage is what we will be counting on

We will be pioneers, forever more!"

Everyone clapped as the song ended. They all continued to do kareoke through the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were called (in order) 'Your Hiroshi', 'Dream away', Talent For love', 'Up walk in the galaxy, and I'm a pioneer. Moon-ohki sang the kit kat song, and Kuwabara's was from Shrek.
