Spirit Band

SSAA: I'm back! Yaaaay I got reviews on the first chappie! I'm soooo happy! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! So yeah here we go.
Reviewers:
Kogichan2000: Thank you! Yeah, I always thought that since Yukina was an ice apparition and Touya was an ice demon they'd be perfect for each other! I also decided to be nice to Inuyasha for once and give him the good Kikyo. Miroku, come on, I couldn't leave houshi hangin! As for Kurama/Kagome and Sango/Hiei, I prefer that to Hiei/Kagome and Kurama/Sango (although they come second with the double pairings.
Koga-lover: Thank you sooo much! Koga is cool in Inuyasha, but I love Sesshoumaru, Koga is right after him though so it's cool. Of course Hiei is the best (so is the foxy Kurama) I'm glad you like the idea.
Sekai: Thank you for reviewing. I really agree with you, Hiei rox(along with Kurama of course -D)
Sango's Counterpart: Thanks for reviewing. I wasn't sure if it was Tama or Shikon, but thanks for the spelling, and you aren't being rude. To me being rude is insulting, cursing, jarring, threatening, being snotty, etc. but you weren't any of the above.
AN: thanks to Sango's Counterpart, I got the right word (Its sad, I'm supposed to be learning Japanese and I messed up on this. -(, oh well -D lol) so the band shall forever on be called Shikon, because there are 4 girls and they represent 4 difference species, like the 4 souls of the jewel (Kagome-mikoMidoriko, Sango- Demon Exterminator, Keiko-TenshiI couldn't go with Ningen, that sounded soo degrading, and Yukina- Youkai) thank you. Now, on with the story. REVIEW!
"I cannot believe you're draggingme to this stupid ningen gathering," Hiei grumbled to Kurama. Kurama in turn just sweatdropped and chuckled.
"Come now, Hiei," Kurama said, "Yukina is in the band to, so don't you want to give her some support?"
"Hn."
"I thought so," Kurama smiled.
Yusuke, Kuwabara (cough Kuwabaka cough), Kurama, and Hiei were on their way to the girls' concert at Emerald Plaza. Kuwabara kept on going on about his precious Yukina and how she probably was going to be the star of the show. As he continued to go on and on, the boys tried to ignore him; specifically Hiei.
"I wonder if they're any good," Yusuke said, "I never heard Keiko or Yukina sing, and those other girls; what's with them?"
"I don't know, but hopefully we'll find out tonight," Kurama replied. He was intriguedby the puzzle of the two mysterious girls that were friends with Keiko and Yukina. Being a kitsune, he loved puzzles, and he intended to solve this one.
The name of their group 'Shikon', it sounds familiar-Youko
One of your many lost memories Youko?-Kurama
No, I know what it is; it's just hard to remember. I think it was in a legend
Hm, maybe we should do some research
Blah, blah, research, you need a woman. When have you last dated?
I don't need a girlfriend right now, besides I'm two people, who would go for that?
What about that Kagome, she seems used to strange things and demons, she'd be perfect!
Shutup, Youko
That perfect body, those beautiful eyes, those lucious lips, those bouncy-
YOUKO!
"Hey! There's the Emerald Plaza!" Yusuke cried suddenly, pulling Kurama out of his little conversation.
Kurama looked and saw that the plaza was actually a spacious park with a stage in the center. There were stone benches at the front of the stage, and the rest was just greenery. It was actually quite nice. The plaza even had a beautiful fountain nearby.
'Why haven't I seen this before?' Kurama thought to himself.
Because, you would only go here if you were on a date. It'd be a perfect place to take Kagome!
SHUTUP! With that, Kurama stuffed Youko into a mental closet, giving him some peace and quiet.
"Kurama?" Yusuke asked, waving his hand in front of his face.
"Yes?"
"I said, lets find some seats near the front before they're all taken," he replied.
"Alright."
Luckily, there was a 4-seat bench a row away from the front that wasn't taken. Quickly the boys sat down before anyone else could claim the seat. (Seating Arrangement: l to r; Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara) This was going to be an exciting night.
-.-.Back Stage-.-.
"Ready girls?" Akami, their manager, asked. Akami was, luckily, a wolf demon in the music business. She knew about the girls, and their 'special' attributes. She herself was Kouga and Ayame's daughter, so it was even better. Akami had red hair and blue eyes like her mother. She had both of her parents' stubbornness, thankfully not Kouga's thickheadedness though.
Akami had run into the girls when they were talking about making a band. She signed them into a contract with a high business and there they were. Today was their first concert. It wasn't big since it was a charity gathering, but it was still important.
"I'm not sure I can do this," Keiko said. She was wearing a pair of tan khaki capris and a green glitter tank top. On her feet was a pair of tan sandals and her hair was curled slightly. Any skin that was revealed was covered in gold glitter. She looked stunning. Keiko's bass was dark green with a white strap.
"Yes, I think Keiko's right," Yukina stated. Yukina was wearing a white skirt with a sea-green peasant blouse. She had a pair of white sandals on and her hair was let down, framing her face. Like Keiko, any skin showing was covered in sea-green glitter. Onstage, her keyboard was a glowing white and aquamarine.
"Oh don't worry," Kagome replied, "We'll be great." Kagome was wearing a dark blue mini-skirt with a silver tank top. She wore dark blue boots, and her hair was glossed a bit, making it shine. It wasn't as wild as it usually was, instead it was straight with a slight curl at the end. Any skin that wasn't covered was shining with silver glitter. Her electric guitar was silver with a dark blue strap.
"Yeah, after all our practice we can't back out now!" Sango cried, "We sounded great during practice and we're gonna sound great out there!" Sango wore tight black pants with a silky red shirt. Her hair was down and she had a pair of red boots on her feet. Her body was covered in red glitter and she seemed to glow. Sango's drums were on stage, they were red with black lining. On the main drum was the name of the band in white; Shikon.
"Come on girls," Akami said, "You'll do great! Just make believe that this is just another practice and you'll do fine. Now get out there and make me proud."
Nodding the girls walked onstage to the screaming of their fans. They were ready, they knew it but who knew what would happen if they weren't.
-.-.Onstage-.-.
"Are you ready!" Kagome yelled into the microphone. A loud yeah, came from the audience.
"I can't hear you!" An even louder yeah came from them this time.
"Thank you," she said, "Now, this is a charity concert for the children in Africa. I hope you donated some money for this cause, because those children could use a good meal. Now let's get started with 'My Immortal', with a solo by Yukina!"
(A.N. I don't own the Evanescence lyrics. Okay Kagome singing italics, Sango singing bold, Keiko singing underline, Yukina singing normal, Keiko, and Kagome italic and underline, Kagome and Sango bold and italic, Ke and Yu K - Y- words, Ka and Yu Ka- Y- words, Sa and Yu S - Y- words, all bold, italic and underline)
(Yukina solo)
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And It won't leave me alone!
These wounds won't seem to heal!
This pain is just too real!
There's just too much that time cannot erase!
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
S Y- There's just too much that time cannot erase!
When you cry I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that your gone
Ka Y- And though you're still with me
I've been alone along!
When you cry I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
(softer)meee
(softer) meee
(Yukina solo until the end)
For about a couple seconds, the audience was stunned to silence. But, finally they broke into a loud applause. As for the boys, they were too shocked to do anything. None of them thought that they would sound so good.
"Woah," Yusuke said.
"Yes," Kurama replied.
"Did you hear Yukina's solo at the end and the beginning?" Kuwabara asked, "And her voice, it sounded great!"
"Keiko sounded awesome! I didn't even know she could sing!" Yusuke cried.
"Hn. They're not done," Hiei stated, making the boys turn their attention back to the stage.
"Thank you," Keiko said, "Now we will do Going Under."
GOING UNDER
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Don't want your hands this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reach the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
"Okay, This next song is call Bring Me To Life," Kagome said, "This was the first song we ever wrote and we hope you like it."
BRING ME TO LIFE
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit
Sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breath into me and make me real
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Ka Y-Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
"Alright!" Kagome yelled, "This next song, is from Sango and myself, to two boys out there that we just got over! It's called 'I Hate Everything About You'."
I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Every roommate kept awake
By every silent scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I start to think about it...
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I start to think about it...
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Only when I start to think about you I know
Ke & Y Only when you start to think about me do you know
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
'Who could cause them so much pain as to sing such an anger-filled song' Kurama thought.
Well if she still hurts maybe we can comfort her-
'Youko'
Yes?-
GET BACK IN THE CLOSET!
"For our last song, we're going to do one we've been working real hard on," Keiko said, "It's called 'Whisper'."
WHISPER
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and its all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it away
Don't turn away
Don't give into the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
Ka Y- I can stop the pain if I will it away
Don't turn away
Don't give into the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
upon my end I shall begin
Forsaking all I've fallen
For I rise to meet the end
Don't turn away
Don't give into the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
Once the song was over, all four girls walked to the front of the stage.
"Thank you all for coming," Sango said.
"And for donating your money to children in need," Yukina piped.
"Our CD will come out next month with the songs you've just heard and then some," Kagome stated.
"Well, we're tired, so we bid you all," Keiko began.
"Goodnight!" They cried. After that, they walked offstage, to meet with the boys, whom they had given backstage passes.
-.-.Backstage-.-.
"That was great! I never felt so alive!" Keiko cried. She was wiping her face with a towel since playing the bass and singing under the hot stage lights could make a girl a tad damp.
"Yeah, we were wonderful," Sango said. She flung her arm around Yukina's shoulder, "Especially you, Yukina. During 'My Immortal' you were great seeing as you had to play the whole song practically by yourself. You rocked."
"You were great too, Sango, it wasn't much," Yukina blushed.
"Is Yukina blushing?" Kagome laughed, "Don't worry, Yukina, you still have me on your side. But, Sango is right, you were the best! I think I saw a few admirers out there."
The girls laughed some more before a voice interrupted them.
"You girls sounded wonderful tonight," a smooth voice said from behind. They turned and saw Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara from behind them. Each of them holding a flower, though Hiei was doing so grudgingly: Kurama threatened to take away his sweet snow if he didn't give one of the girls a flower at the end of the show.
"Hey, Kurama," Kagome said, "Thanks for the compliment. Whose are those for?" She pointed the roses the boys were holding.
"Kagome," Sango sighed, "Who else are they for? Us! Gosh, you can be such a blonde sometimes (sorry blondes! But the ones I know are soooo ditzy. Except for one). Anyway, thanks for the flowers. We were just congratulating Yukina on her solo during 'My Immortal'."
"Yeah," Yusuke laughed, "We heard. Keiko you were great on the bass, I didn't know you played."
"Well, Yusuke," Keiko replied, taking the rose, "You don't know a lot about me."
"Yukina!" Kuwabara cried, hugging her, "You were the best out there. That was so amazing."
"Um, thank you, Kazuma," She replied, "But could you let go, I can't breathe."
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" He yelled, letting go of her. Hiei just snorted at his stupidity. He would prefer it if Kuwabara didn't touch Yukina at all, but he couldn't say anything since it would seem suspicious.
"Hn. Baka," He mumbled.
"You could say that again."
Hiei jumped slightly and turned to see Sango standing next to him. She looked down at him slightly (lets just say Hiei is only an inch shorter than Sango around Kagome's height).
"I really think one of us should get him away from her," She said, "Yukina said that she only thought of him as a friend nothing more, he's just a bit overreactive in their friendship."
"Hn."
"Whose flower is that for?"
"Hn."
sweatdrop "Do you ever talk?"
"Hn."
"Argh! I give up!" Sango stomped off towards the others, joining into their conversations.
'I think I might enjoy this,' Hiei thought, smirking.
SSAA: Like? Flames? No? Good, please review. I'm still surprised I got 4 reviews already! If you want, review my other stories. Amazon Duelist, New Love, and Shikon Senshi too. Thank you!
