Tsunami001: Hey all. I'm very tired; I haven't slept since my last chapter. And that's not to good for work. They gave me two days off, and told me to rest, which is good. But that won't help. I can't sleep. So while I was awake, was determined to write this chapter.
I thought I should probably say something. I talked to my friend on this and she agreed with me I should probably tell you all this. I am suicidal, luckily my aunt who has a doctors degree has been helping me for years now. She is the one who got me to start writing. At first they were all sad and depression. She heard of me reading fanfics, so she started me with that. Soon I found my stories turning happy, and it made me happy.
I still do have my self-esteem at a low point, but not close to the point where I'd take my life. I do get lonely in the summer because my friends are away, but writing keeps me save and happy. I had to say that. Just so all you know, that I do have a bad time with things.
That's one of the reason I hate getting Flames, they bring my self-esteem down quiet a bit. Even when someone doesn't think that they realize it, but they do hurt. Especially when someone tells me writing a chapter or fic is a waste of my time. That really hurts.
Even more when they say that all my reviewers are giving me false comments. I have to say this to them. If the fic is just so horrible then don't read it. I don't write for people who say such horrible things that are a direct attack to me. And it does hurt a lot so just stop!
Thank to the following:
Houski-ko88: Yes, the chapter too almost a month to write. Probably three weeks. Hickville! - Thx for the cookies, but caffeine don't like me, hehehe I work at a coffee shop and I always get it spilt all over me. Thx anyway.
Artemis347: Well the dancing was supposed to show that Sango was more comfortable around people now. And this chapter leads to something at the beginning and end of this chapter. You'll see.
GothMiko: I know me too. If I ever get a chance I'm going to go see it on Broadway.
Trixe-Trix: Yes it did take a while. Three weeks of work. Thx I'm glad you liked it. And I'm glad some people are saying it's worth waiting.
KeeraSango: Believe me, there's much more about it in this chapter. And this is a bit of a spoiler but, Miroku didn't know, he thought it was a rumor. Lol, stupid I know, but Akira paid the paper not to mention the rape for Sango, but rumors still went around. Sorry about the spoiler, it is in this chapter.
Inu-Fanforever: You'll have to find out next chapter. But I will tell you there are 26 chapters, so you'll have to wait for while for Inu to find out. Not so long for Sessy.

Hidden Amber
Chapter 15- Back in Action
Kagome smiled at Miroku who attempted to embrace Sango, then added a quick grope. Then he covered his left cheek with a red mark, he had a really cheesy grin on his face.
"Miroku, it's about time that you learned that if you back off now it will all pay off later on," Kagome laughed. Here voice was finally back to normal.
"KAGOME!" Sango shrieked.
"Well you never know Sango," Kagome continued to laugh.
Things were finally backed to normal now that Sango had gotten over her fears of being out in the public's eye. No more jerks bugged her, not with Kagome around.
And Kagome's voice was clearer and she could start singing again at anytime. "How was your date last night?" Miroku asked her, but Sango and Kagome stared. It was silent for a few minutes and then, "SHIT!"
"You forgot?"
"I was worried for Sango that I completely forgot. I was scared she'd mess up and couldn't finish. I had to be there for support."
"You mean you just forgot," Miroku said. "How could you forget O.D.I?"
"Easily when your more worried about your friend," Kagome sent him a glare.
&&&&&
Kagome stood next to Sango who sighed deeply. Kagome looked at her friend. "I still can't believe you didn't tell him about what happened to you," Kagome stated.
"I couldn't. I thought of it so many times," Sango sighed. "But in the end, I don't want to loose him."
"So Akira was the one to keep your story out of the papers," Kagome replied. "So everything knowing you were raped was a rumor."
"he thinks there only rumors," Sango blurted out of no where.
"What?"
"Sango sighed, "Miroku. After we told him about what you did to that senior, he told me that he heard the rumor. He said some jerk was just making it up for a laugh and not to worry about it." Sango let her tears fall. "I needed support from him and he thought it was a stupid rumor."
Kagome's eyes widened but she tired to support Sango on through this. She put a hand on her shoulder. "It's probably better this way. If he knew he'd do something stupid…"
&&&&
Kagome looked at Sango who was finishing the last touches on the cloths she finished for Milla's show that night.
"What week is it," Kagome asked.
"RPG week," Sango replied.
"And Sesshomaru come up with this?" Kagome aksed.
"No, Rin did," Replid.
"Oh, that explains it."
"There done," Sango smiled. "Try it on."
"Okay."
&&&&&
"And who am I?"
"Your Aries from Final Fantasy VII."
Kagome looked herself in the long link pink dress with a magenta jack. She wore tall brown heels that went half way up her leg. And her hair was tied in a braid with pink ribbon.
"I'm no much for pink, bit I like it a lot," Kagome smiled at her friend who worked so hard on the costume. "Thanks Sango."
"It was my pleasure," Sango returned the smile. "Now you get out on that stage."
&&&&
"Hello everyone," Kagome smiled as the crowd cheered for her. "That's good. This song is dedicated to our dear departed Akira. He was after all Anything but Ordinary."
Kagome's music started to play as she started to move to the rhythmic beat.
Sometimes I get so weirdI even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Since it was a slow song so Kagome watched as a few couples started to dance. The singles with no one to dance with sat and listened to the music.
Sometimes I drive so fastJust to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive
The music had quickened slightly, but the beat the couples had didn't change. They continued to play in their social dance.
Is it enough to love?Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Though the song sounded a little morbid, it was true. Completely true, in Akira's case. He truly was Anything but Ordinary in his own special way.
Is it enough to die?Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything
But ordinary please
That's what Akira's life was. He was a non-spoiled rich kid who chose not to be popular, yet his love for music made him open his dance club for teens. He was loved and was special.
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Kagome almost cried there on stage because as she sung many memories of Akira were flooding her mind. They were such happy memories.
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything
but ordinary please
Kagome's song ended as she let herself catch her breath. She was silently being taken over by her friend's departure. She missed Akira, and always would. This was for him.
&&&&&
Sango hugged Kagome when she got back stage again. "You did great. Did you almost cry, it looked like you were going to."
"Almost," Kagome smiled.
"Oh yeah, lover boy came over here," Sango nudged her friend.
"Miroku?"
"No! Stupid, Inu-Yasha."
"Oh he did, what did he want?""He wants to talk to you," Sango grinned. "When he mentioned you he looked at dreamy."
"WHAT!"
"That's right, you have got him on a leash and he is at your command." Sango sent Kagome a devilish grin. "Go talk to him."
"Oh…okay…"
&&&&
Kagome walked towards Inu-Yasha as he put away his bass. He was alone, as Sesshomaru had helped Kouga with his drums. So it was only she and he.
"Hey Inu-Yasha," she greeted him.
Though he seemed to jump at her greeting him. He turned and nodded to her, his shy say of saying hi. "Inu-Yasha I'm sorry about last night I…"
"Don't worry about it. Sesshomaru told me you were at the show with your cousin Kagome giving Rin And Sango your support. I understand."
Kagome was stunned, Sesshomaru saw Kagome and Milla at the show…how was that possible. "Oh, well then that's all explained now." She hid her shock by smiling.
"What are you doing next Monday night?"
"Nothing," she said.
"Want to go somewhere with me," he asked.
"S-sure," Kagome said.
&&&&
"How the hell could Sesshomaru see two of you? It's not possible is it."
"I don't know, but I have to ask him," Kagome stepped towards the exit. She was all changed now, and was back to playing the role of Kagome. He's packing Kouga's drums. I have to ask him."
"I'm coming," Sango said.
&&&&
Tsunami001: And the plot thickens! See you all in Chapter 16!
