Woo! Another chapter! I feel so proud that I've actually been able to get 3 chapters out on a fic! ::ohs and awes:: Anyway, I only got two reviews! ::almost feels unloved:: Sad day! Oh well, guess on with the reviews!
Super-Kitsune: Yes! I love you forever because you were my first reviewer! ::throws confetti around:: Hooray!!! But it is kinda depressing that I only got one review… but anyway! ^___^ And yes, Kuwabara being the only one that was closest to being right kinda scared me too when I thought of it but I think it'll work out in the end, because… ::drum roll:: I HAVE THOUGHT OF A PLOT FOR THIS STORY! Hooray! So, thank you again for reviewing! ^__^ And! Since you were my sole reviewer, you shall be showered in gifts. ::grabs large sack filled with plushies, wallscrolls, and anything else she may wants:: You shall be here and forever loved by all…

Hooray! ^____^ If you haven't noticed, I'm alittle crazy… CRAZY LIKE A FOX! ::laughs:: Have to thank Yugijouoh for that one… ^___^ Yes, Beatles have always scared me and the thought of Yusuke singing them just made me laugh really hard. But that's ok.. But thank you so much for reviewing!
Guess that's it for my sole reviewers ::cries:: .. So for the disclaimer!!
Disclaimer: Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own YYH, so please don't sue! ^___^ I don't own any of these songs either… sad day.
Everyone flopped onto the couch, extremely tired. Over the course of the week they had practiced for hours on end at Kurama's house every single day. At the beginning of the week, any normal person who heard them would probably never hear anything again. Yusuke had sounded quite like a dying cow and couldn't hold a note for more than a few seconds. Kurama and Kuwabara sounded fine, a few mistakes here and there. Hiei couldn't do anything with his guitar and was extremely irritable the entire week. But this was the beginning of the week. Slowly but surely they started sounding like a actual band. At the end of the week, Yusuke still couldn't hold a not for very long, but didn't sound like a dying cow as much. Kurama and Kuwabara had perfected playing their instruments and Hiei was certainly a fast learner and now sounded like a pro on his bass guitar.
"Maybe we should start thinking of a song to sing that isn't some old song?" Yusuke asked. They hadn't thought of much during the week besides 'get better'.
"Well, I have a few ideas for a song, but I was wondering if I could sing it…?" Kurama trailed off
"Oh? You can sing?" Hiei was intrigued by the idea and the thought of Kurama in a sequin suit singing a song almost made him laugh.
"Well, I don't exactly know. I haven't really tried to sing well, but people who have heard me sing I'm really good.." Kurama thought for a minute. "But, they were all girls who said it, so maybe it isn't true…" The rest sweat dropped.
"I think we should let Kurama sing! He'd be a lot better than Urameshi!" Kuwabara stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh, I'm sure you can sing so much better than me idiot!" Yusuke yelled at him.
"Hn. Yusuke is too easy to beat in singing ability." Hiei shook his head at Yusuke and Kuwabara fighting like a old, bitter couple.
"Yes.. I suppose your right. But, I'll start writing that song later today." Kurama nodded to himself. Hiei nodded quickly and got up to leave.
"Is there going to be practice tomorrow?" Hiei asked before walking out the door. All looked at Yusuke.
"Whatcha looking at me for?! It's your house!" He pointed at Kurama.
"Well I guess that we could have it tomorrow. I don't know if I'll have the song done, but I shall try." Hiei nodded again and left. Yusuke and Kuwabara also got up to leave. "Good bye Yusuke and Kuwabara. See you both tomorrow."
"See ya Kurama. Good luck on that song." Yusuke said before leaving, Kuwabara following him. Kurama sighed and got up. He walked to his room and grabbed a pencil and paper and began scribbling away at it, making up a song that he thought fit his best. ((OK! Today in the fic is Friday. That means they have one day of school left in the week.. 6 day weeks of school.. poor them.))
~The Next Day After School~ ((woo, intro…))
Yusuke and the gang (including Hiei, Kuwabara, Keiko, and Botan) piled into Kurama's living room. Kurama walked in carrying a piece of paper, and a pencil, every now and then just adding words here and there. Botan and Keiko ran over to look at the paper but Kurama held it above both of their heads.
"Nah huh. You can't see till I'm done, which I almost am…" Kurama added another word and looked proudly at it. "There. Now I'm finished." He walked over to the microphone (they had set up a stage like thing in his living room) and cleared his throat. Getting the picture, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara ran up to their instruments. Kurama handed each some music sheets with the music to his song on them. Yusuke didn't have much to do, so he just grabbed a music sheet and looked it over. Kuwabara and Hiei were the only one's who knew how to read music (Hiei's many hidden talents.. o.O), and began the song. It was fairly slow but sounded very nice. Kurama played his guitar as well. Then he began: ((ok, one note. I got this song from the actual cd that he does sing and it was translated into English. Just so y'all know.))
Oh soul, dried up by loneliness,
Right now, let courage bloom!
Just like a red rose
Blooming in the dark earth
Everyone is a soldier, fighting with themselves.
Overcoming suffering, looking for tomorrow
Soldier of love
Out of the sleepless, worried dawn,
A new me has been born.
The morning sun rising out of the darkness
Unfolds in my heart.
I'm a soldier fighting to protect you.
Love is the power to give birth to miracles.
Soldier of love
Everyone is a soldier, fighting with themselves.
Overcome suffering and grasp tomorrow.
I'm a soldier fighting to protect you.
Love is the power to give birth to miracles.
I'm a soldier
Stepping away from the microphone, he smiled proudly. Keiko and Botan applauded graciously and cheered.
"That was great! I didn't know you could sing Kurama! I'm impressed!" Botan stood up and ran over to him. "You made this up yourself? It's great!"
"Yea, Kurama. That was really good." Yusuke said patting him on the back.
"Thank you, you're all too kind." He laughed a little. "I still haven't gotten a name for it yet. Hmmm.." He thought for a moment then snapped his fingers. "I have it! Romantic Soldier; Red Rose in the Darkness." He nodded and the rest agreed with the name choice. Being that it was late, the members of the band Grilled Cheese and Coffee Beans (which still has yet to have a new name) left to go out and have a night on the town. They didn't have school the next day so it was alright. Keiko and Botan said they would just go home, because they were both tired.
Kuwabara had said he wanted to go to a restaurant his friends had said was really good, so they each complied and went along with it. Once they got there, Yusuke had a sudden attack (of which he didn't tell) and ran to the bathroom, so he didn't really get any food.
"Maybe we should go to the arcade or something? I mean it's only around 8 p.m…" Yusuke said, holding his stomach. Hiei looked around.
"As long as they have Sweet Snow I don't care where we go." Hiei said.
"Well, good. We should go to the café and get Hiei some ice cream and then head to the arcade." Kurama said smiling. They all nodded and quickly walked to a nearby café. Kurama and Hiei went in while Kuwabara and Yusuke stayed out. A few minutes later, Kurama and Hiei came out holding ice cream for everyone. They grabbed a table outside and began eating at their ice creams.
It was dark by then so they had a nice view of the city and the moon. As soon as they finished, they threw away the containers and proceeded to the arcade. Yusuke grabbed his wallet, and opened it in front of the building. A moth literally came out of it.
"Was that a moth…?" Kuwabara said watching it fly away. Yusuke grumbled.
"Damn! I forgot to grab money from my mom before I left the house! Crap!" He hung his head and muttered things to himself. Kurama patted him on the back.
"It's alright Yusuke. We can go tomorrow if you wish; my treat. It's a bit late now." Kurama pointed to the large clock they could see through the glass doors. It was 10 pm.
"It's not like I have anything better to do…" Hiei grumbled. "I guess we could do that."
"Ok ok, I'll meet you guys here tomorrow afternoon. I gotta take Keiko with me. She says I'm neglecting her. We did kinda leave without them…" Yusuke rubbed the back of his head and gave a sheepish grin.
"Oh! Can I bring Yukina?!" Kuwabara nearly screamed at them.
"Well I don't see why not…" Kurama raised his eyebrow at him. Kuwabara did a what he called 'A pose of love'. Hiei left, not wanting to be around him anymore, and Kurama and Yusuke backed up a bit.
"Right. Well tomorrow afternoon then. See ya!" Yusuke ran back to his house. Kuwabara turned to Kurama.
"Thanks for letting me bring her! She'll love the arcade, I just know it! Well bye!" Kuwabara walked away, humming a tune to himself. Kurama shook his head, and started the long walk home.
