WOO! Ok, this is what I have so far, and since I just updated I don't expect any reviews but that's ok! BUT WAIT! I HAVE ONE REVEIWER AS OF… LIKE AND HOUR AFTER MY UPDATINGNESS!! XD
Silver Sniper: Heehee, I'm lazy but I'm trying to change my ways. Counseling and med's are helping me cope… u.u Thanks for the review so quickly though. You get the adoring fan badge! ::puts badge on their shirt::
Kurama: You're in a good mood today Shippo… this is different.
Hiei: She's still as bad as Botan… ::grumbles::
Me: …well anyway, I have been hit by inspiration, and there's no turning back!! ::does victory pose::
Kurama and Hiei: ::stare at her::
Me: … ::sweat drop::
Anyway, Just so everyone knows I really am going to try to be better and update more frequently. I just wanted to get chapter 5 outta the way for now, but now I'm on the bigger and better things. ::runs off to frolic in the fields of roses::
Kurama: Ahem, Shippo doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho, no matter how much as she wishes it.
Hiei: She's poor. ::laughs at her::
Yusuke had set up the instruments around Koenma's office. They had been practicing for about 3 hours, and they were pretty much sore everywhere. Hiei nearly killed Botan because she flew through the open window while they were practicing, scaring everyone half to death. Kuwabara and Botan chatted idly and Kurama tried to smooth over Hiei's ruffled feathers. Koenma sat patiently in his desk watching the groups relax for the time being.
Once the instruments were in place and everyone had sat for about 10 minutes Koenma spoke up.
"You're all rested now so lets start this shall we?" The band grumbled onto their feet and got into their positions in the band. They each tuned their weapons of choice (instruments) and prepped themselves. They had decided on letting Kurama sing the song he made, it being the only real song they had.
Kurama started into the song beautifully not missing a beat, the song perfect in everyway. ((A/N: For song's I've already wrote out, I'm not gonna write it out again. I'm lazy ;)) Koenma sat back in his chair taking in the song and the members with a satisfied look. Kurama finished in perfection as he started and stepped back from the microphone, a smile gracing his lips. Koenma jumped from his chair onto his desk, clapping as loudly as he could.
"That deserves a standing ovation Kurama! I had no idea you could sing." Kurama smiled kindly at him.
"I have many hidden talents." Hiei snorted in laughter.
"You guys are very good! I'm in disbelief." He sat back down in his chair and thought, cupping his face in his hands. "I probably shouldn't be doing this, but I shall relieve you all from your normal duties so you may practice on song writing and such."
Botan looked taken back. "Koenma-sama, you sure you want to do that?" He nodded.
"You guys are very good. It's no good to waste a great talent in my opinion." He fished around on his desk for something while the band members exchanged happy glances. "Aha! Here it is." He walked over and handed the paper to Yusuke. Everyone gathered around behind him, reading over his shoulder. "It's a brochure for a concert of sorts; A 'Battle of the Bands' type concert. You guys are good enough, and I think if you got a few more songs made in one month, you could enter it. There's a label company in Makai that is sponsoring this event. Demons in Makai are really big into music and the prize is going to be a $5000 dollar label with that company." Yusuke's eyes widened at the mention of the prize.
"$5000 dollars?!" Kuwabara asked jaw hanging open. Kurama took the brochure from Yusuke and looked it over.
"It says you must be signed up before this Thursday. We only have one song, but we might get one more by tomorrow. That's not enough to enter. It says we must have 4 songs." Kurama glanced at the brochure to authenticate his argument. Koenma's smug expression didn't falter.
"No worries there! I can vouch for you guys till Saturday. That gives you 4 days to get 3 more songs. That shouldn't be too hard right?" He returned to his chair and sat back down, sorting the papers on his desk once more. "I want to have you guys tell me by Friday what you have so far so I can get you set up. Now go and make some songs." He shooed them out of his office, telling them he would return their instruments later that night.
At Yusuke's home
Settling onto the couch, Grilled Cheese and Coffee Beans had looks of bewilderment and deep thought strewn across their faces. Kurama shifted in his spot between Hiei and Yusuke.
"I could be of assistance in the making of your songs if you wish." Yusuke nodded.
"That's a good idea. I have some idea on a good song, but I don't know how to start. Perhaps I'll ask Keiko on a good title." He nodded to himself. Hiei seemed deep in thought and Kuwabara had the look of someone who was constipated. His look changed instantaneously into excitement.
"I KNOW!" He screamed leaping up from the couch causing the rest of them to topple over onto each other in a heap. "I have a great idea! I'll see you guys later!" He rushed out the door, slamming it on his way out. Yusuke pulled himself from under Hiei and Kurama to glare at the door.
"At least HE has an idea…"
"Hn. He isn't the only one. I need to be going." Hiei squirmed from under the pile, causing Yusuke to fling into the floor. He casually walked out, Yusuke glaring at his back. He got off the floor and brushed himself off.
"We might have 4 songs by Thursday anyway at this rate…" He said to Kurama who had situated himself back upright on the couch, who nodded.
"I certainly hope this 'Battle of the Bands' isn't too much of a competition. We may end up trying to kill each other and turn in back in a Dark Tournament." Yusuke smirked.
"We can only hope not." Kurama rose from his spot on the couch.
"I suppose I should get going as well." He waved goodbye and calmly walked out.
"Suuichi-kun! Wait up!" A young girl, whom he recognized from his class, ran up to him. She was breathing hard, and her long blond hair was a bit tousled. Once she regained her breath she continued. " I always hear music coming from that apartment everyday practically, and if I come to listen I always see you leave there, along with a few other people. Are you in a band?" He tensed up visually and began walking, the girl trailing after him.
"Well, Asoko, a few of my friends and I do play in a band here in his apartment, but what are you doing on the other side of town everyday?" He asked, exerting his steely patience.
"My mother lives here and I come to visit her everyday. She doesn't get to do much and she tells me all the time that I am the only family she has left." Asoko looked at the ground walking beside Kurama. Kurama sighed.
"I'm sorry… well, on Thursday why don't you take your mother and yourself to those apartments and our band will play for you. Perhaps that will cheer your mother up." He smiled at her. She looked at him.
"You mean it? Oh, Thank you so much Suuichi-kun!" her cheeks burned crimson and she hugged him tightly. He sweat dropped and gently pried her off.
"You're welcome Asoko. Now go home, it's getting late." She nodded vigorously.
"Thank you again Suuichi-kun! See you in class!" She ran down the street waving goodbye to him. Kurama shook his head and continued his walk home.
Wow, that was a long chapter kinda, not really. ANYWAY! I updated twice in one day… It's a sign… O.O
Kurama: calm down there Shippo. You're just inspired. It'll be ok.
Hiei: Ha, yeah right. She's just paranoid because she can't ge—
Me: ::slaps hand over his mouth:: Aheh, now behave Hiei or I'll have to get Kuro-kun to tie you a chair. ::in the shadows, large grin:: He'll do it. You know he will…
Hiei: ::glares::
Kurama:: ; Behave children….
Please R&R! I'll love you forever if you do! Thanks!
