Hello again! Wow! I got so many reviews! Thank you all so much! I love you guys!
Mustard: Yeah, they only reviewed cuz I'm here!
Me: -.- I highly doubt that.
Mustard: -Has no clue what I just said- Okay, well it's safe to say that we won't own any of the songs in the story, and we just wanted to say that ahead of time so we don't have to say it again!
Hiei: -pops up out of
nowhere- And she doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Hn.

Chapter 4: Regrets
(a/n) ::thinking:: lyrics
((The Girls))
"I can't believe this," Botan sighed sadly. She, Yukina, Shizuru, and Keiko had just gotten home from the mall. She dropped the cold and silent attitude for the sake of the other girls.
"I knew it. I knew it! We should have never come back!" Shizuru said and groaned.
"How much longer are we gonna be in Japan Yukina?" Keiko asked, sitting down on a black stool.
"Three months," Yukina said angered at herself for scheduling their stay that long.
Botan noticed it easily and said, "Don't blame yourself Yukina, we pressured you into getting us here. It's not your fault."
"I know, but I still feel like it is," Yukina replied.
"Really Yukina, you shouldn't put yourself down like that. It's not healthy you know." Keiko stated astutely and Botan almost rolled her eyes, trying not to laugh, even though this was no laughing situation.
"Yeah, listen to Keiko." Shizuru said and took out another cigarette pack.
"Shizuru! How many more times do we have to tell you not to smoke those things?! It's bad for your voice!" Botan yelled angrily. She really didn't need the stress of one of the band members losing their voice.
"I know, I know," She mumbled and threw them away.
"This is so stupid! We shouldn't let them ruin our return to Japan! Let's just forget about them and have some fun!" Keiko exclaimed, tired of feeling the way she was... unwelcome.
"You know what? Your absolutely right Keiko! Let's move on! Like you said before, if it comes down to us girls, then that's all we'll need," Botan said eagerly and nodded to herself in reassurance.
"That sounds like a good plan," Yukina added and gave a weak smile.
"Oh cheer up Yukina, we're back home!" Botan said, suddenly back to her giddy self.
"Right. Besides, we don't need the extra stress." Shizuru said jokingly.
"Bingo."
((The Guys))
"This really bites," Yusuke growled and plopped down on the couch.
"Seriously," Kuwabara replied and sat down next to him, grabbing the remote.
"Nothing good is on!" Kuwabara whined and decided to get a sandwich. Just what he needed…
"Oaf," Hiei grumbled and went to lean on the wall in the corner.
"Whatever. I'm not in the mood shorty," Kuwabara said and walked into Kurama's kitchen.
"Try to leave something in the fridge for the rest of us Kuwabara!" Kurama scolded and followed him into the kitchen, protecting his precious eats.
::I'm glad that our girlfriends went home, I don't think we would be able to deal with them right now.:: Touya thought, while walking into Kurama's house, and eventually into the living room.
"Why didn't they want to talk to us?" Kuwabara wondered, walking in with his sandwich. Kurama was trailing behind him, making sure Kuwabara didn't get any crumbs anywhere. And if he found one, he would pick it up and wipe the carpet with a paper towel. Him and his cleansliness problems…
"Can you really blame them? After what we did before they left? Plus, how we reacted when they got back?" Touya said. Regretting acting that way towards Yukina.
"Yeah, I guess we were a little rough on them," Yusuke said and looked up at the ceiling.
"A little?! Detective you have to be the most oblivious baka I know...next to Kuwabara." Hiei said angrily, mostly at himself, since he had acted the same way towards Botan. At least Yukina doesn't hate him... or at least he hoped not.
"You have no room to talk Hiei. None of us do. So lets just relax." Kurama coaxed, the others getting on his nerves. He really hadn't had a good day.
"Hn." Hiei grunted, and turned away to look out the window.
((OC's))
"I can't believe this! We worked so hard and those girls just come waltzing back into their lives like nothing ever happened!" Amani yelled and threw a pillow at her wall. Her and the other current girlfriends of our favorite Rekai Tantei went to her house after they split up with the guys at the mall. Their boyfriends were to depressed to do anything. They said they were going to Kurama's house.
"There was defiantly something going on that they weren't telling us." Linaki stated firmly.
"It was our fault. We saved them and went to introduce them in the first place. We should have just let them fall," Sae hissed, seething inside.
"My thoughts exactly," Mya agreed.
"Well I'll just be going now." Koneko told them nervously. She didn't know what they were so mad about, but they were scary when they were like this!
"Yeah whatever, see ya," Amani said as Koneko raced out the door.
"We can't let those girls get near our guys. They'll end up trying to steal them away," Linaki said. She wouldn't let ANYONE take Hiei away from her.
"But from what I've seen, they hate each other now," Mya told them, a plan already formulating in her head.
"Not for long. Those sluts will come crawling back sooner or later... and we'll be ready for them," Sae said, grinning evilly.
"Yes, it is quite funny that the infamous Rekai Tantei haven't noticed how much power we actually do have," Amani smiled amusedly.
"As long as they stay ours, they never will." Linaki said and went back to moping.
::There she goes with her mood swings again.:: Amani thought and went to go find something to eat.
((Spirit))
"Hey Girls, come over and tell me what you think." Botan said. She just finished a new song, it was a mix of ideas from all of them, and she thought it came out wonderfully.
"Alright," Shizuru said and walked over with the rest of the girls. They read over the lyrics, the beat, and the melody.
"Wow Botan! This is...well it's great! And all of our ideas are in here!" Keiko said amazed.
"Yeah, even mine," Yukina said and smiled at Botan happily, and Botan smiled right back in return.
"Thanks guys. So when can we perform it Yukina?" Botan asked, hoping it would be soon. She really wanted to try this one out... of course they would have to practice it first, but that's only a minor setback.
"Tonight, actually. Oh no! I forgot to tell you guys that we were supposed to perform at a club tonight!" Yukina said, frowning about her unusual mistake.
"Really?! That's wonderful!" Keiko bounced giddily.
"Your not mad?" Yukina asked, almost relieved.
"Of course not! Besides I've been itching to get on stage," Shizuru told her.
"Are you going to do that song?" Yukina asked.
"Yeah!" The other three girls chorused.
"But what about practice?" Yukina questioned.
"Well what time is the performance?" Keiko asked.
"Um, at 9:30 pm," She told her.
"Well that's perfect! It's about five right now, so we have around four hours to practice! That's more than enough to learn a song," Botan chirped happily.
"You know... I don't really think... that I'm mad at Yusuke anymore," Keiko said timidly, waiting for the reaction she knew was going to come. She may have changed the subject completely, but she needed to say it.
"WHAT?!" Shizuru yelled, astonished. How could she just forgive them after this long?!
"Well, I guess it is understandable... their reaction I mean. We were gone for so long with out any word," Keiko said, trying to explain.
"But what about what happened before we left?! What about that?!" Shizuru questioned angrily, finally letting go of all she bottled up inside since seeing the Rekai Tantei again.
"I know, okay! I probably will never forgive them for that! And don't yell at me!" Keiko snapped back.
Shizuru's face went from sneering to regret for yelling at Keiko.
"I'm sorry...I was just taking my anger out on you. I shouldn't have yelled at you Keiko."
"It's okay... Hey Botan can we change the lyrics a bit at the beginning of the song? So it doesn't sound too much like us?" Keiko asked.
"Yeah sure, I was thinking of doing that anyway. Let's go get started!" Botan said excitedly and raced to the room where she wrote the song, Yukina, Shizuru, and Keiko following closely behind.
"This is gonna turn out great!" Yukina commented and finally reached the room with the others.
"Okay, lets get started!" Keiko chirped and they all got to work.
A bit later, Shizuru halted in her practice, and turned to Yukina, who was watching from the side.
"Yukina, do you wanna sing with us this one time? I think your voice would go perfectly for it."
"Do you really think so?" Yukina asked shyly, a blush coming to her face immediately.
"I wouldn't have said so if I didn't."
"Yeah! Sing with us please Yukina!" Botan and Keiko pouted, and Yukina easily gave I with a small smile etched on her lips.
((The Guys –Around 9:15 p.m.-))
"I'm so tired of moping already! Let's go out and do something! Get our minds off of this morning," Yusuke shouted from his place on the couch finally, hating moping. It's not something he normally does, nor does he like to do.
::It's pathetic how we're acting.:: Hiei thought and answered Yusuke with a soft, "Hn."
"Sounds good Urameshi," Kuwabara replied and got up from his spot on the couch... where he had been sitting for hours. What an oaf.
::Finally! I can get Kuwabara out of my house. He left crums EVERYWHERE!:: Kurama thought to himself and agreed to go quickly.
"What about you Touya?" Yusuke asked, getting ready to head out the door.
"I guess," He mumbled and started walking out the door, pushing past Yusuke.
"Who stuck a stick up his a-" Yusuke started, but got cut off.
"Yusuke, be quiet and start moving," Kurama told him, hoping a fight wouldn't break out.
"Fine!" Yusuke crowed defensively, and followed Kuwabara out the door.
"So where exactly are we going?" Touya asked.
"I have no clue." Yusuke answered.
-.-;;;
"What?!" He asked tired of everyone giving him a you-are-so-stupid look.
"Nothing," Hiei said shaking his head at Yusuke's stupidity.
((Spirit))
It was 9:30, and the girls were pulling up in Botan's silver infiniti G35 coupe. The club was really amazing!
Outside there were TV's so you could see who was on stage. Purple and pink lights shining everywhere, and people dancing like crazy! They walked in and everyone started cheering and hollering.
::Wow there's a lot of people in here.:: The girls thought and waved like stars to their fans.
Yukina was anxious that she was actually going to sing a song with them for once. She never had, but she really wanted to try singing this song.
They all walked up on stage. Each was wearing the same outfit. Black caprees and a black halter-top shirt. They decided they wanted to really party tonight. And to party, you had to look the part. Which, they really did.
Botan went to the microphone and started introducing themselves and told them they had another new song for them to hear. The crowd started screaming again and the girls got in their places, ready to sing.
((The Rekai Tantei))
The boys walked across a street to where they heard partying and screaming, and decided to join in on the fun. Well Yusuke did anyway, the others followed reluctantly. But Yusuke finally persuaded them to go in. (Even though they thought all he actually wanted to do was get drunk.)
They walked up to the club and waited in line to get in.
Kurama looked over to the TV and suddenly he got butterflies in his stomach. There on the stage, were the girls singing a song. They looked so passionate about their music. It made his insides twist in knots so tight, that it was almost painful.
He tapped all the guys on the shoulder and pointed to the TV. Hiei's, Kuwabara's, Touya's, and Yusuke's jaws dropped, and then they started racing for the door to get in.
When they finally pushed their way in, Botan started talking into the microphone once again.
"Alright everybody, it's our last song. And the new one, " Botan started.
All the guys faces dropped in hearing that, they didn't exactly get to hear them sing.
"But, we will be staying after just to hang out. Oh, and our manager has decided to sing this with us. She's extremely good so how about a round of applause?"
Yukina walked on stage blushing and went to her own microphone. Hiei suddenly felt proud. He had such a wonderful sister...
"Okay here it is everyone! Enjoy!" Keiko said and the song started.
(Don't own Miss you, by Aaliyah.)
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do?
Said I been needin' you
I'm wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same
and who's been with you
Is you're heart still mine
I want to cry sometimes
I miss you
The girls chorused together, Yukina's voice flowing with the others just as it did at the arcade.
Off to college
Yes, you ran away
Straight from high school
You up and left me
We were close friends
Also lovers
Did everything for one another
Now you're gone
And I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow
Botan sang her own solo into the mic. She was so glad she got to perform this. Botan really wanted to get her feelings off her chest, and this was the perfect way!
Come back to me
Can you feel me (callin')
Hear me (callin' for you)
For you
Shizuru sang this time. Her brown hair covering her eyes, which were wealing with so much emotions that she didn't want anyone to see.
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do
Said I been needin' you
I'm wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same
and who's been with you
Is you're heart still mine
I want to cry
sometimes
I miss you
They sang together again. Pouring their hearts and souls into this song. And it really, really did show. The crowd gaped at how great it was and all the people dancing previously, stopped to listen to the heart-wrenching song.
Now I'm sittin' here
Thinkin' 'bout you
And the days we used to share
It's drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
I'm just wonderin' if you still care
I don't want to let you know
That it's killin' me
I know you got another life
You got to concentrate
Baby
Yukina sang beautifully. Botan knew she would. She had great potential, and Botan had to wonder why she didn't want to show anybody how great she actually is.
Come back to me
Can you feel me (callin')
Hear me (callin' for you)
For you
Now Keiko sang her own solo. She almost wanted to stop singing and run out of there. Sure, her singing was perfect, but the lyrics were effecting her too much. She hadn't expected that would happen…
It's been too long and I'm lost without you (2x)
What am I gonna do
Said I been needin' you
I'm wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same
And who's been with you
Is you're heart still mine
I want to cry sometimes
I miss you (x2)
I-I-I-I-I-I (x2)
Miss you
I-I-I-I-I-I
They sang together once again. The club was amazed at how well their voices meshed. It was enthralling and enchanting at the same time. No wonder they made it so far in America.
I can't breath no more (no more)
Since you went away
I don't really feel like talking
I don't wanna hear you love me
Baby do you understand me
I can't do a thing without you
Shizuru and Keiko sang a duet together, since they had small solos, Botan decided they should get another part together.
It's been to long and I'm lost without you
Tell me what I'm gonna do
Said I've been needing you
Wanting you
Wondering if your the same
And who's been with you
Is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you (x3)
The girls finished their song together and the crowd went frickin' WILD. Botan went to the microphone and gave them a chesire cat grin.
"Alright, that's it for Spirit! We love you guys!" Botan said and everyone walked off stage and got a drink, man they needed one.
The guys sat in the far back contemplating on the song. Did they sing it for them? Did the girls really miss them that much? Do they still care for the girls? Of course they do! How can they not?
Plus, when they sang the song, the guys saw how much it meant to them in their eyes. But, until after really listening to it, couldn't figure out why.
The Girls really did care. They don't hate them. And they could possibly...forgive them?
((Spirit))
Those drinks really helped clear their throats. All that singing made their throat hurt. They've been straining their voices all night practicing.
"You sang so great Yukina! I didn't know you had it in ya! You should sing with us more often," Shizuru commented Yukina and patted her on the back.
"Yeah, she's right! You should!" Keiko said enthusiastically.
"Thanks guys," Yukina said and gave them her I'm-so-innocent smile.
Just then, Botan got tapped on the shoulder. She turned and saw just the person she didn't want to at that moment.
"What are you doing here?!" She growled, her anger suddenly flaring.
"Hn."
"Typical," Botan muttered under her breathe.
"We wanted to talk to you," Yusuke said coming up behind Hiei.
"There's nothing to talk about," Keiko said snidely, giving him the cold shoulder.
"Please," Touya pleaded, also coming up behind them, followed by Kurama and Kuwabara.
"Fine."
"Thank you. It means a lot," Kurama said and looked at each of the girls.
"Yeah, Yeah," Shizuru spat out, glaring back at him when he looked over to her.
Kurama didn't flinch, but inside he felt... hurt. A lot. Did she really hate him that much?
"What is it you want to talk about?" Yukina asked, breaking the silence.
((End Chapter))
Alrighty! End of the chapter! It got more in tuned to their feelings, but the other chapters will be better! I just wanted to get how they REALLY felt out.
