Oh my goodness! I've been gone away doing… school stuff to update! I'm horrible! Oh and I do have an announcement. It's kinda obvious that I've been having the worst case of writer's block on this fic so I plan on redoing a few chapters, ok all of it in the near future. But since I've been so lazy, and… and… well lazy I decided I would be nice so I updated! But don't really expect one for a while. Maybe a month? That is if I can find some inspiration. Anyway, on with the show er, fic. Yeah, fic. Oh, yes… I kinda rethought on my array of songs to choose from and I came up with my favorite song! Heehee I'm a Led Zeppelin fan all the way so yeah. Now to thank my loyal reviewers! I love you all so much you don't even know how much you all have actually inspired me to change things for the better. Thanks from my heart! ::hands everyone red paper hearts with 'Love, Me' on them::

AVERAGE DISCLAIMER (so y'all wouldn't miss it and I don't get sued. Go lawyers with lots of money.) I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of the songs that I have in this story.
Waves of demons pushed past the group setting up the massive amounts of equipment. Of course, by turn of luck, Grilled Cheese and Coffee Beans would be going first. Hiei volunteered to sing first considering they only needed to sing one song for now. Koto and the rest of the judges seemed to regard the band with a slightly curious amusement and that was the main reason they were to go first.
"So, Hiei whatcha gonna sing?" Kuwabara asked quietly receiving a harsh glare from the demon.
"You'll find out when I start." He grumbled at him, watching the audience get back into their seats after making their bets. The maintenance crew readied everything and signaled Koto. Bounding out to the middle of the arena-turned-stage, she bellowed loudly, "Hello Everyone!" The audience responded with applause and whistles.
"Battle of the Bands is going to begin right now!" More noise from the audience making Hiei and the rest stand on edge. "Our first band is all the way from Ningenkai! Give it up for," she hesitated on their name and stared at the cards given to her of the band names and what order they were in. Catching herself she hurried on, "Grilled Cheese and Coffee Beans!" The audience laughed as they shuffled onto the stage.
Everyone fit into their positions, Hiei at the microphone. The arena was covered by a huge dome ceiling making it quite dark. A spotlight shot through the darkness and illuminated Hiei. The band started into their song slowly at Hiei's quick flicker of his fingers. The intro was long and soothing to the ear as the audience seemed to wait to erupt in cheers.
"There's a lady who's sure
All the glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, Ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the tress,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon,
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
And there's still time to change the road you're on
Ooh, and it makes me wonder
Your head is hummin' and it won't go
In case ya don't know
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
Ooh, oooh." There was a pause to his voice as Kurama took over on the guitar solo, clearly enjoying his lime-light. Hiei smirked and turned back to the microphone as Kurama finished his solo standing beside him to join his singing.
"And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold, yeah.
And if-a you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all.
To be a rock and not to roll, not to roll
Don't make me roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven." The audience erupted in applause; a standing ovation as the spotlight spread to the rest of the band. They all bowed and smiled gleefully at the way the audience reacted. Koenma was jumping up and down in his seat as well as Botan. Koto ran out to the band yelling in her microphone.
"How was that?" The audience cheered more, whistling and screaming their lungs out. Koto smiled. "Now, let's see what the judges say!" The spotlight moved over to the judges table.
The judges chatted amongst themselves for a moment before Fumio leaned over to the microphone placed in front of him. His voice was smooth against the lit cheering of the crowd. "They must definitely stay." The crowd erupted once more as the band cheerfully walked off stage. Koto said a bit more before introducing the next band to play. Kuwabara slapped at rough hand onto Hiei's back and grinned.
"That was great! Good job pipsqueak!" Hiei growled at him as Kuwabara let out a deep laugh. Yusuke ruffled his hair.
"Yeah, good job." Kurama merely smiled and nodded patting his shoulder lightly. Hiei huffed and shook his head.
"Let's just get our other songs ready for when we have to do it again later tonight." Leading them to the small room that was theirs, their instruments were placed in their proper places as if they were there the entire time. Yusuke tilted his head to the side and blinked; confused for a moment. He shrugged and went to the microphone and let out a few ear-drum bleeding notes that had them cringing.
"The mic works." He grinned, receiving glares.
Heehee so that's that! I'm so happy that I finally got something out there so y'all can't hate me… as much…::cough::. You don't hate me do you? Don't answer that. Now that I've actually wrote a chapter I kinda want to write more. But as I said I'm going to change a few things. Comments? Questions? Hated it? Loved it? Tell me, I'll still love ya for it.
