Fly away part 2: Did he really mean that?
Misao ran down into the high school basement. When it seemed like she was too tired to run any more, she collapsed and let the tears flow freely down her cheeks. Why? Her heart cried as the incident replayed in her mind.
Flash Back
The two groups were working on their music. Misao was laughing happily as the music played behind her. Kauro and Kenshin on the keyboard, Megumi and Sanosuke on the drums, Tsubame, and Yahiko did the acoustic. Aoshi and Misao were vocals. The two bands had put aside their differences and were working together on a song.
Hmmm… Yeah…
Misao: Did I ever tell you baby that
You drove me wildly crazy
But when I saw you with another girl
I called you traitor and ran away
Aoshi: I can't believe you saw it
Cause she forced herself onto me
And I cursed myself after that
I called me a traitor
Both: I regret my actions
Can't believe I did that
Cause you're worth more to me than anything ever was
Can't live another day without you
Come back and take me back, back in your heart
And screw my pride
Misao: I should have faced the truth
Cause maybe it was more than what I saw
But my pride stubborn and told me no
But my heart was torn from my chest
The day I let you go
Aoshi: It was just a stupid dare
I should have let it go
But my pride told me no
I didn't want to do that
Screw the day you let me go
Both: I regret my actions
Can't believe I did that
Cause you're worth more to me than anything ever was
Can't live another day without you
Come back and take me back, back in your heart
And screw my pride
They both stopped and let the guitars and drums do their solos.
Misao: My heart aches for you
My mind is weakening
So screw my pride and let me come back to you, to you
Aoshi: Any day you want to come back,
Back to this unworthy one
Please do, Cause my arms are open for you
Both: I regret my actions
Can't believe I did that
Cause you're worth more to me than anything ever was
Can't live another day without you
Come back and take me back, back in your heart
And screw my pride
(Softly) and screw my pride.
The two held and faded off the note.
"That was awesome!" Kaoru cried. "You two sing really well together."
"Thanks!" Misao smiled and bounced on her heels. Singing was the thing she did best, and doing it with the guy she really liked was even better! She had like Aoshi for quite a while now, but she had to keep it hidden because the two bands pretty much warred. It was only when Kenshin and Kaoru got together did the two groups come to peace and start working together. You couldn't exactly call Aoshi nice, though. He was about as responsive as a glacier with jagged edqes..
"Hey, I have the tryouts!" Tokio was the groups publicity manager, along with Saito. She held out a stack of CD's and application forms. Since the group had become popular, they had gathered more fans. Now they were holding a contest, seeing who could mimic the band's female singer, Misao. The best ones would replace them in a concert.
"Yay! Let's hear them!" Misao squealed and grabbed the CD's. They were in the school band room and it had a CD player! (A/N I know, unusual isn't it?)
Aoshi grabbed them from Misao's hands. He held it over Misao's petite figure casually, teasing her. Popping the first one into the CD player, the voice came out as nails scratching on a chalk board.
"I think this is-" Tokio flipped through the applications
"Nope" Saito took it out almost immediately as Aoshi put another one in. It came out a bit better but still not good enough.
"Nahh…" Saito pulled out the second one while Megumi threw the application away.
It continued like this for another hour. The floor was littered in applications and there was a stack of CD's beside Aoshi. Misao had gone to the cafeteria to get a soda and stretch her legs.
She pushed her coins into the slot and waited for her coke. After ten minute's of waiting, she kicked it. Out came her coke. Misao sighed and picked it up. The machine's like Aoshi. You have to push to get an answer. She thought and mentally kicked herself. I said I wouldn't think of that jerk any more! He might be the schools most popular guy but he is sure as heck an iceberg! Misao thought of one of their earlier fight's. Misao come in a little late and Aoshi had looked at her and said, "Late again, weasel?" Misao had flipped. Weasel was a nickname that only Megumi was aloud to use! But afterwards, when Misao had run out of the room upset, He apologized! I can't seem to keep him out of my thoughts, Misao inwardly sighed. maybe I'll-
"I don't like Misao!" She had walked down the hall way and froze, for it was Aoshi's voice that screamed that. "Besides, she's only good for the bands. This girl could replace her!" The coke can had dropped from Misao's hand, as she heard a voice playing in the room, one that could rival her own.
End Flashback
Misao let another round of fresh tears course down her face. Aoshi no Baka! She pushed her face further into her arms and a hit a key. She had been crying on a keyboard the whole time. The keyboard was an old one that Misao had kept down there for quite a while now. Sighing, she placed her fingers over the keys. "I guess the only thing to do now is play my heart out."
TBC….
What is Misao's song? And where does Aoshi come in? find out later (when I post the next chapter)! Please review! The more reviews I get the more inspired I am to write!
