Me:
/sings softly to Koori No Knife Wo Daite/
Kurama: What are you
singing, Mikka?
Me: /Still singing, points to computer
screen, and shows him lyrics/
Kurama: Is....that ME singing?
Me: /nods/
Kurama: /Blushes and sings along/
Me
and Kurama:
"I
have ear plugs in the second drawer to the right of the stove. Give
them to everyone, please. I am going to my room, and I am going to
listen to music really loud, and try to calm down." I turned to the
others in general.
"I
would like to be alone. Anyone who comes to my room will have various
hard objects and high pitched screams thrown at them. No matter what
you hear, do NOT come." I quickly walked through the silence, and
carefully shut my door. I faintly heard some people yelling at
Sesshoumaru, but I put my Linkin Park CD, Hybrid Theory, in my
Playstation 2. I turned on the volume drowning everything
out.
Singing and more...or not
I was so angry and upset, I just sang to Linking Park, and when the last song ended, I was still upset, but I had run out of energy to be angry. So, I popped in my Evanescence CD, and turned it to number 6, Tourniquet.
I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
At this point, I was crying, and almost screaming.
My God, My tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, My tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Do you remember me
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side
Or will you forget me
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my Tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ
Tourniquet
My suicide
I heard the song end, and I went quiet. I heard clapping behind me, and spun around. Everyone was there, clapping, smiling, and looking apologetic.
"Did...you guys listen to me?" I asked, blushing. I never sang for anyone; it was just a way to not explode. It was kind of embarrassing. Shippo leapt up in front of everyone, and said really fast,
"Everyone was yelling at Sesshoumaru, but then w-"He was cut off by Inuyasha, who attempted to grab him. Shippo jumped towards me and squeezed my left leg with all his might. Continuing, he said, smiling,
"But we heard you screaming and crying, and we felt really sad, and then we heard you singing, and you were GOOD!" I looked around, my eyes widening, and smiled to myself when I saw the guys look at their feet, with the exception of Hiei and Sesshoumaru. Speaking of the dog devil... Hiei saw me looking, and muttered telepathically,
/We brought him, because he cannot be trusted alone. /
I nodded, and peeled my eyes away from the golden orbs just to spot Kagome with the SCARIEST smile I have ever seen. Inuyasha noticed, and slowly backed away (more than likely thinking that she would "sit" him). Her widened mouth opened, and said,
"How do you feel about karaoke?" This question brought every face pointing in her direction.
"Like, having ALL of us sing?" I asked. She nodded, and Hiei phased out, disappeared. Inuyasha bolted, but Sango expected this and grabbed him by the ears. Inuyasha fell, whimpering. Everyone stared at him (well, everyone in the room. Our faces looked like this- 00 Sesshoumaru's looked like this- 0o...on with the story!)
I winced in sympathy for him, and he slowly got up.
"Don't....touch...the EARS!" he cried, slapping her hands. Sango leapt back, and at this point Sango, Shippo, Kagome, Miroku, Yusuke, Kurama and I were laughing. Sesshoumaru had a smirk on his face, and Inuyasha was throwing a hissy fit. We all headed out of my room, feeling our own emotions, with Sesshoumaru leading the way. Kurama stopped me, and led me back into the room.
"Mikka, are you alright?" he asked. "What Sesshoumaru said earlier was immoral and wrong. He went too far."
"I'm alright. I won't feel angry for a little while, because of the songs. Evanescence cured my sadness for a while, too. Next time, I might practice fencing."
"I would hope that you don't end up with bruises again," he mumbled, grinning at his comment.
"I would practice kendo or archery, but I don't have any money for supplies or lessons."
After a moment of silence, he said thoughtfully,
"We could have Hiei teach you......"
"No, I couldn't." Kurama looked shocked at my statement.
"I thought that you felt affection for him, though?"
"I do, but... he's too good. I would at least like to know how to use a sword before having him teach me. As a teacher, he would only be good making someone better, sharpening their expertise." Nodding slowly, he said,
"I believe that I understand...Hiei, why don't you come in here, instead of attempting to spy." I looked around, looking for the fire apparison. Nothing appeared.
"Come, now, Hiei. If you come out of hiding, we will not have you sing in front of everyone."
Slowly, my closet door opened, and Hiei strutted out. (He came from my closet of bishies! He's mine! /hits fangirls with katana of doom/)
Hiei cleared his throat, and said in halting English,
"I teach you...when you... ready..."
I couldn't help but grin and thought about squeezing him, but stopped. He grinned slightly, knowing that I controlled myself from the inevitable.
"Arigato. Now, let's go down there before the others come back up," I commented, and ran down the stairs, crying out,
"I go first! Wait for me!"
