Chapter 20 - Talent Show

(A/N: Songs and raps will be in bold italics)

The stage was lit up and glitter of all different colours was spread across the curtains. The doors were opened and people were taking their seats. Kaiba, Yugi, Mokuba, Sakura, and Mai got to their seats and waited for the show to start. Sakura brought her cross bow with her feeling that there might be some mischeif or activity from their problem.

"So, how do you think they'll do? I mean, I want Tea to win. She's worked hard."

"Mai, I'm not cheering for just one person. I'm cheering for them all" Sakura replied and looked at Kaiba. "Right"

"I'm hoping either Joey or Amber win. Tea is just too perky." Sakura stiffled a giggle. Mai glared at the CEO and Mokuba just sighed.

"I don't care which one of them wins. I just hope that no one makes fun of them." Yugi looked at the stage. "I wish they would hurry and put on the show though."

"Yugi, the seats aren't even full yet" Mai gazed down at the stage too"But I do agree with you."

"Paitence."

"Say paitence one more time Mokuba and I'll be sure to tickle you to death when we get back."

"Speaking of which, I didn't want to mention it earlier, but where did Joey get that black eye" Yugi looked at Sakura"I mean, I asked him earlier but he said he fell down the stairs. I don't believe that though."

"I know. I didn't want to say anything either. Lets talk to Joey after the show."

"Okay. Oh, it's starting." The curtains opened slightly allowing the master of cerimonies to come out. He wore a tux and bow tie with a top hat.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the 6th talent show of this school. I know...I'm sexy right ladies" the guy raised an ebrow seductivily. Most of the girls booed and threw thorns at him. "Okay. Okay! Tonight you will see and hear some amazing talent and the more the applaud the higher the rating. The higher the rating the talented person gets" the guy winked at the women in the audience"The person wins" The guy ran behind the podium"Our first act is Amy Granbull singing to Brittny Spears Toxic."

Everyone in the group made a disgusted face and watched as she stuttered, forgot words and pretty much was thrown off stage. Three acts later Mai was tapping her fingers on her seat. Mokuba had fallen asleep, Yugi had started a conversation with Yami, Kaiba was having a conversation with Seth and Sakura was talking to Cala and Caru.

These guys suck. Kaiba sighed, I wish they would hurry up and put Joey and Amber on.

Didn't you read the program. It said Tea Gardner, Amber Kaiba and Joey Wheeler were the last ones on.

What? Why didn't you tell me! I could have had some sleep!

What? I would have thought you, of all people would read it.

Shut up. Kaiba grumbled, I don't need your advice.

Aparently you do.

Yugi sighed and tried to concentrate on the performer doing a dance routine. The next act ended and the guy who kept flurting kept on stage.

"That was a great act wasn't it" everyone kept silent. "Well...the next performer is" Mokuba woke up and took a drink of his soda"Duke Devlin." Mokuba spit his pop onto the person infront of him.

"Hey kid! That was rude"

"I'm sorry, my brother choked." The person grumbled and turned around.

"Duke" Mokuba asked shocked.

"I guess. Lets she what he is doing." Sakura moaned hoping he wouldn't spot her.

"Duke will be preforming a song called 'I Love You'. Ladies, that song goes out to you." The kid was booed off stage. Duke walked on the stage wearing a tux with a dice on the collar.

"Thank you all" The audience cheered. Sakura got a clear view of him as did he. "This song is about two girls close to my heart." Serenity turned around when she heard Mokuba's voice.

"Mokuba"

"Hey Serenity. Did Joey tell you"

"Yeah. So Kaiba, how does he kiss" she whispered this.

"Good." Kaiba went red. Everyone laughed.

"Hope you like this girls." Duke stood up straight"Put that tune in." The beat started and Duke started to tap his foot. The beat started slow but soon it spead up.

Everytime see you.

I know I feel you.

I know who are.

I know what you want.

Serenity...you make my heart spin crazy.

Sakura, your my little angel.

I love my women.

I love my ladies.

I love all of the darkness that surrounds them.

I love the light the goes round and round them

Serenity's face went bright red and Sakura fell off her seat and made a sick face.

Sakura is cute and sexy.

Serenity is adorable and hot.

Both of them give the shivers

They turn me on and make me shiver

Come on you two

Make me dance

Sakura and Serenity seemed to disapear from their seats. Yugi and the others couldn't help but smirk and laugh.

"I'm going to kill Duke" Sakura madea fist"And if any of laugh I will kill you." Sakura's eyes glowed and they removed the smirks of their faces.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Their my angels

Dukes song concluded leaving a very pissed of Sakura and an embaressed Serenity. Sakura swore on her Millennium Cross Bow he would pay. Bakura looked back at Sakura and laughed. Needles to say she puched him in the jaw.

"I warned people."

"Thank you Duke for that wonderful song." Duke walked off stage after some people forced their aplause. "The next performers are Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor performing a rap. Lets give them a big aplause." The auidience clapped as Joey and Tristan walked on stage after their equipment was set up. Tristan took care of the mixing and Joey did the wrap.

"What up dawgs" Joey asked"Is the auidience in the house" The auidence cheered. "LEts get this beat bopping! (A/N: This wrap may suck so don't kill me)

My names Joey Wheeler

Tristan did a lot more mixing making the audience dance in their seats.

That guy going crazy

Turning 80

I never really guessed

A guy could age

As fast as Tristan

At age 16

Joey and Tristan looked like they were having a lot of fun up there.

My names Joey Wheeler

I'm only 16

Sorry homies

This ends the scene

Dawg!

Joey and Tristan concluded their rap and bowed. The audience roared to life. Kaiba was clapping the audience. Joey and Tristan left the stage with their equipment. The guy who kept flirting with the women in the audience.

"Hey ladies, my name is Gary and I really rock, cause all other guys really suck." Earning glares from everyone in the audience he spoke normally"Hey thanks guys. Now here is Tea Gardner with a crazy dance of her own." Tea came out and bowed. She bent down and hung her head. She wore a black body suit with no legs and it had no straps or at least looked like that. In her hair was a black bow with silver sparkles on it. Her eyes had a light brushing of blue eyeshadow and sparkles on her cheeks.

The music started to play. It was a fast beat with no words. She danced with grace and speed. Each move was unique in itself. When the music was done she had her head back, her arms held high in the air with her fingers spread apart, and she was doing the splits. The audience cheered enthusiastically. She got up and bowed.

"Now, our last and very hot and sexy talent is Amber Kaiba singing 'When Your Kiss'. Lets get her out here and welcome her to the stage! She wrote and with help, produced this song herself" The guy smiled as the audience gave a great applause.

Behind stage Amber became nervous but swallowed it. The lights bugged her eyes but she gought it and got into position.

From the gangs view point Amber stood tall with her hands to her heart and the mic in between her cupped hands. Her hair was pulled into a bun with little strands of hair and black, white and red ribbons hanging from it. Her eyes were decorated with a light silver eyeshadow. Her hands had red gloves on them and she had on a black skirt that collected a little past her ankles and had red sparkles on it. Her top had flared sleaves and sparkled with black sparkles and a small but simple white collar. The shirt had a bow on the bottom of it. The bottom just reached past her belly and her shoes were white and tied around the ankle. Her lips were a nice shade of rose red.

Yugi gasped at her look.

"Yugi, do you like" Yugi nodded his head"I'm glad. I got her ready." Yugi watched as Amber took a breath.

"I would like to say something first." The audience held their breath. "This song is decated to my boyfriend." She closed her eyes and let the music on the cd fill her ears. She waited for her que. The music, a soft melody came to her cue.

The train rolled in station

Dragging me with it

Bringing me closer to the truth

I wanted to find

What was hidden inside

And you,

You were standing there

It was then that I knew

Her voice rose and fell as the words came from her mouth. She sang with all her heart as her eyes glanced around the audience. Her eyes caught Yugi's eyes and she sang with even more heart then she had before.

Your the love of my life

You give me this feeling inside

The longing for you

Was all washed away

When your kiss touched me inside

She let the music go for a little and she started to sing again. Her voice was like an angel, in most peoples opinions.

When you kissed me that day

After my prayers

And you held my hand

The moon was shinning

On the two of us

It was then that I knew

Your the love of my life

You give me this feeling inside

The longing for you

Was all washed away

When your kiss touched me inside

Yugi felt so proud as the song directed to him went through his ears. He smiled as his body relaxed. Her eyes were closed as she sang. She was pouring so much heart into her song.

He called me a name

And you were there

Holding my hand through it all

I cried in your arms

You never pulled away

It was then that I knew

Your the love of my life

You give me this feeling inside

The longing for you

Was all washed away

When your kiss touched me inside

Amber paused again. She let the music go and after fifteen seconds she started up again. Her voice was very strong now.

When your kiss touched me that night

I was lost in your eyes

I was lost in your eyes (Softer voice and longer phrase)

I wanted you

And you wanted me

We are one for all time

It is now that I know

Your the love of my life

You give me this feeling inside

The longing for you

Was all washed away

When your kiss touched me inside

Her voice became soft as she finished the first sentance of the last part. The second line was a little more quietly and long.

When your kiss touched me inside

When your kiss touched me inside

She finished the song and stood completely still. The audience stood and clapped as loud as they could clap. Amber was smiling and blushing at the same time.

"Thank you...Amber, that was so...beautiful" Gary had tears running down his face. Amber left the stage. "The prize for...the most beautiful performance goes to...AMBER" The audience clapped as everyone on stage watched Amber stroll up polietly and take the small trophee.

The crowd slowly dispersed and that left Bakura, Amber, Joey, Tristan, Mokuba, Kaiba, Yugi, Serenity, Tea, and Mai.

"You guys did great." Duke snuck away from back stage but found Kaiba gripping his coat.

"Sakura"

"My pleasure" everyone backed as she kneed Duke in the place where the sun don't shine.

"Shit Sakura, the song wasn't that bad." Duke exclaimed.

Amber was about to say something when an explosion in the school roof almost hit her. She erected a barrier protecting everyone.

"What the hell" Kaiba exclaimed. Sakura helped to enforce the barrier.

"Aroga...how nice to see you again. Are you angry? What hole did you decide to crawl out of to see me" Sakura's voice had no hint of anger.

"You stupid girl! You sent me to the shadow realm! Of course I am mad"

"Mad...that's what I'd say you are" Amber laughed"Maybe we should lock you up in the phsyc ward."

"Be quiet" Aroga sent a blast at the barrier but it didn't budge. "Damn you"

"Why Aroga"

"Because, Miss Kodasawa, he is not the only one you have to deal with." A man with a black cloak and grey eyes stepped next to Aroga. "You see...my friend here wants revenge and I want the key to all time. It's a nice bargen."

"Yeah, try and break the barrier. You won't."

"That's not what were trying. With every blast we infect the both of you. Any of those who are errecting the barrier."

"What are you talking about"
