Chapter 7 Singing my Heart Out
After enjoying our favorite pastime of making fun of Kuwabara I decided I would call it a night. Auditions were tomorrow and I wanted to be rested up to do my best. Amazingly I fell asleep fast and without any late nights to affect me tomorrow.
***The Next Morning***
"Ixi?" I felt someone gently shake my shoulder so I would get up. "Mhp, mrumm." Is all I said. "Ixi, you'll be late!" Botan was trying to wake me up. I shot awake at her words of being late. Once she saw I was up, Botan left so I could get dressed in private. I fumbled with my glove as a knock was heard on my door. "Come in." I cried still trying to fix my glove. Yukina had a breakfast tray loaded with a delicious looking breakfast. I grabbed my white over-shirt and all the stuff I would need for the audition and running out the door I grabbed some toast. "Sorry, looks delicious but I got to run." I cried to a smiling Yukina. "See YA!" I cried running out the door, waving to the sleepy-eyed Yusuke and Kuwabara. As I turned to start running straight I slammed into Kurama.
I fell backward and looked up. "Huh! Kurama, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, but you need to get to the auditions." "Oh, right, gotta go bai!" I said grabbing my guitar case and music. I ran out the gates. //This is what they get for scheduling this stupid thing so dang early in the morning. It's what, 7:30 AM? \\ "Ixi! Wait you forgot something!" I could hear Kurama's voice yelling after me and as I turned to look back he had my slip saying I had signed up for the audition. He had reached me in no time and I took the paper and ran. He kept running with me though. "Mind if I come with?" "No." Fortunately all the running was worth it; we got to the café a whole two minutes before it officially closed for the auditions. The waiter took the slip from me and as I panted heavily he pointed me where to go for the music. "And you?" He said looking at Kurama. "Uh, with her." He said catching up with me.
"So what song did you decide to do?" Kurama asked me as I took out my guitar. "It's a song called "Top of the World", it's by the Dixie Chicks. "Oh, well good luck." For some reason the people in charge thought it would be funny to have me go first. I stepped onto the stage and put the guitar's strap on my shoulder. I quickly tested the strings, on of them was out of tune so I had to fix it. "Okay, whenever you're ready." I nodded and began to strum the guitar's strings and began to sing once the short intro was done.
I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that won't happen now
That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world
I don't have to answer any of these questions
Don't have no God to teach me no lessons
I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be hear
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
I wished I'd a known you
Wished I'd a shown you
All of the things
I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you come in, in the morning
To whisper good-bye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
(Instrumental)
Whoa, Whoa
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world...
I finished and looked at the stunned crowd. Even the other category people were looking at me. I could feel the blush creep on my cheeks. I bowed and quietly jumped off the stage. As I landed like a cat, the crowd began to clap; there were even a few whistles. The blush was getting redder as I went over by Kurama. He just blankly looked at me. I sat down as the next person uncertainly went forward and I busied myself with my guitar purposely untightening the string. / "Hello" \ I could hear Cyrus brightly say. //Hey \\ / "So what's new on your side of the block?" \ //Uh, what? \\ / "Waz up? Maybe?" \ //You're more like a book than a book actually is. \\ / "Uh, okay?" \ //Heh \\ "Ixi?" Kurama was once again in focus. "What?" I said blinking. "You spaced out again." "Oh, that, well . . ." I trailed off. I looked to the side and some guy in dark clothes was staring at me. "Can I help you?" I asked. "Yeah, you can give me a map because I got lost in your eyes." //Ugh, get a life! \\ "That is the lamest pick-up line I've ever heard." I said while rolling my eyes. The kid bowed his head and walked off.
Sighing I began to play my guitar again. Cyrus seemed to have left so I couldn't talk to him anymore. "What are you playing now?" Kurama asked. "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)." I quietly replied as I kept playing. "Can you sing it?" I blushed and nodded.
Dragon tales and the water is wide
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed little man, sweet dreams little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed, sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon we'll find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed little man, sweet dreams little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed, sweet dreams
(Instrumental)
God bless mommy and matchbox cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears amen wherever we are
And I...love you
Godspeed little man, sweet dreams little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed...sweet dreams
I let the song finish before looking up. Once again the room was silently holding its breath as I sang, which only sent me blushing again. //I was singing soft too. It's going to be awkward that's for darn sure. \\ I was taken out of my thoughts when a clipboard was handed to me. "Here, all contenders must fill this out." The creepy waiter practically dropped it on my lap. //Creepy, rude and angry, Hmp! Jerk. \\ I took the board and moved my guitar so it was on my back instead of in my lap. I silently filled out the form all the while ignoring the gawkers who were so rudely staring at me. //Yep, very awkward. \\
