Hiei's POV

We were well on our way to the last house of the of the band. We arrived at a one story brick house. a girl with blond hair just below shoulders, blue eyes, green camouflage pants, light blue t-shirt that says 'I don't bite, often,' dark blue short-sleeved hooded jacket, black high-top boots, gray camo bandana, came out carrying golden drumsticks and and a really big drum case came out. "hi everyone! I'm jessica but you can call me jess." She smiled and got in the car which was getting very crowded now as was the top of yusuke's car under all the insterments. Yusuke drived us to his house and the band set up.

Kasia's POV

Jess was the last to get in the car. When we got to yusuke's house we started to set up. I put my keyboard on the stand and we were finished. I was wondering which song I should sing it was between 'staring at the sun' or the kids aren't all right' I decided to do 'staring at the sun because I like that one better. Yusuke introduced me to everyone and we had twenty minutes before it was time to go on so we decided to enjoy ourselves at the party. Maru went off with some guy named shinta himora who was dressed in a samari outfit. (a/n: I only put kenshin in this story because maru requested it and sent me virtual sugar this is not a crossover). em went off with the red head I think his name was kurama. Jess went off with some guy named kaiser (sorry portal girl but I already promised emri would get kurama so you get an original charcter) who was dressed in all black. I went and sat down in a chair close to where hiei was sitting. I tried to start a conversation but to no avial so I practiced on my keyboard until it was time to play. By this time all my other bandmates were on the stage I told them I would start first because I won the game of jenken. I walked up to the stage and said "this song is dedicated to a smartass I know" (isn't that so romantic -) and we started to play.

music starts

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

I kept my eyes on hiei the whole time I think it was my imagination but I think I just saw him tap his fingers to the beat on his table

If I seem bleak
Well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

If I seem bleak
Well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

"k guys time for me to share the spotlight" I let maru go to the middle of the stage since it was her turn. I took my usual spot my the keyboard. "oh guys did I forget to mention you have to dedicate the songs you sing to someone you care about must have slipped my mind" I saw maru glare at me. "fine I dedicate this song to the red headed samari"
