(A/N: Sorry, it's been a while since I last updated... I've had some...thinks...trouble...getting on the computer. Anyways... I decided to write this one out before-hand, on paper, before I entered it... so it might be a little better... and longer than other chapters... thanks)

(Sango POV)

"WHAT?!"

"I signed us up for a band competition in Yokohama," I said as Kagome screamed.

"This is SO great! We are going to play in front of people... millions of people!"

"Not quite millions, but A LOT of pople."

"You really think we'll be ready? I mean, we just started."

"Of course we are. You two have caught on REALLY fast," I replied.

"Yes! This is going to be so much fun!" the younger girl said, well, screamed.

"I came up with some new songs for us. We can play 2 songs there. One for the prelims, and one for finals."

"How do you know we are going to finals?"

"Because, I know we can... we are better than most novice bands out there. And we are one of the best beginner emo too."

"Are we emo?"

"Semi-emo... but not quite."

"Okay, good."

Later that day, I had my date with Roka. Here is how it went:

I sat in my room, getting ready, for more than an hour. I had my hair down, and I was wearing my best clothes. I was just getting the finishing touches on my makeup. I looked at the clock... 7:59. 'Well, he should be here soon.' I thought. I sat, upstairs in my room, waiting... and waiting... and waiting some more. I looked at the clock again... 8:13. 'Great, he's late. He probably forgot.'

10 minutes later:

Ding-dong!!

"Sango!!! Your date is here." I started walking down the stairs. I looked at my date. 'Oh, my goodness... what did I get myself into?' He looked as if he didn't care at all. How could he, someone who always has to look good, look so... so... raggy? Oh well... I guess I'll just have to live with it.

"Hello, you look great tonight," he said as he saw me walk down the stairs

"Yeah... y-you too." I can't believe I just said that. It was a total and comlete lie!! "So, what are we doing tonight?"

"We are going to go to the American restaurant, and then go watch a movie. Sound good?"

"Yeah, I guess."

We got into his truck, and started towards the restaurant. It was silent the whole way... I was so relieved when we got there. He got out of the car, and I waited for him to come to the other side, and open my door... I waited... and waited some more... finally he said "Are you going to come, or not?" So I just climbed out of the car. 'Man, he doesn't have any manners, does he?'

We walked inside, and guess what... he didn't hold the door open for me, and he walked in before me... how rude. We sat down, and the lady came to get our order. He, of course, decided he would ask his order before me... and THEN let me order. The waitress looked very shocked, and gave me a look of sympathy. We ate... in silence... and then the waitress came back with the check. He has enough nerve to say, "I'll pay for half of it, and you can get the other half."

'Okay, I've had it... I'm going to KILL him!!!!' I thought. I stood up, and started yelling. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!? FIRST, YOU'RE LATE. THEN YOU SHOW UP AT MY DOOR LOOKING LIKE... LIKE... THAT!!! THEN, YOU HAVE NO MANNERS AT ALL!!! YOU DIDN'T ESCORT ME TO THE CAR, YOU DIDN'T HELP ME OUT OF THE CAR, AND YOU DIDN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO THE RESTAURANT FOR ME!!!!! YOU WALKED IN BEFORE ME, AND ORDERED BEFORE ME!!!! AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE ORDER!!!! YOU UGLY-MANNERLESS-... ARGGG!!! I'm leaving, good bye!" 'Oh great, I've done it now.' I thought after the big blow-up

I got whispers congratulating me on my way out. Our waitress stopped me before I exited. "Good job, I was about to do that myself, but you did much better. What kind of guy would do that to a girl?"

"His kind, obviously," I said.

She laughed, and said, "See ya, hope you find someone else."

'I already have...' I thought.

(Miroku POV)

I woke up it was 7
I waited till 11
Just to figure out that no one would call
I think i got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone?
When your spending everyday on your own
And here it goes

I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight...

And maybe when the night is dead, I'll crawl into my bed
Staring at these 4 walls again
I'll try to think about the last time, I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own and here it goes

I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me

What the hell is wrong with me?
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever

I'm just a kid [repeat x5]

I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world.

I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is


Having more fun than me tonight
I'm all alone tonight
Nobody cares tonight
Cause I'm just a kid tonight

"I think that's good enough for that competition in Yokohama," said Kouga as we finished the song.

"Yeah, but I was thinking more of making new songs to play," I replied.

"Well, I guess that'd be better," Kouga said. "I'm just glad we're getting out of this stinking garage."

"Same here. Too bad Sango can't be there with us too. She was the one who put this group together, and also the person who tried to get us playing gigs."

"True, but she'd be happy just to know," he replied without much remorse.

"That reminds me, I have to call her," I said, as I opened the garage door. "See ya tomorrow. We yave to practice every day now."

"I guess, if we want to make it to finals," he replied as he and the drummer stepped out. "See you later."

(Next day at school)

"You know what? You really need to move on. Go on a date with a girl and stop moping. I mean, you have plenty of girls that would die if they could just go on ONE date with you," Kouga said as I greeted him in the morning after shunning a pack of girls.

"Sure..." I replied.

"That reminds me. This Saturday I'm going on a date with Ayame. You should ask someone, and we can double."

"Fine, I'll ask someone, it might be a few days though."

"Better get it done soon because it's only 3 days away," he said. "Well, see you after class."

"Okay, I might ask today, bye," I daid as I started walking upstairs to my class. 'Great, being forced to go on a date. Wait! I'm making it sound BAD! Man, this is really weighing down on me...'
