Nissi: gaara-no-suna is Olivia, not me. I'm just account sitting for her while she's grounded. Sorry it's so late! I've been having technical difficulties….Note: Songs are not fully typed up for conservation of space.
"Yay!" Popcorn!" Malia grabs the bowl and pops onto the attic floor "What are we doing?"
"This," Vanessa and Olivia enter carrying a platform, "Is Nissi's Welcome Back to Life Party."
And we're all going to sing a song!" Olivia adds, setting the platform down.
"NOOOOOO!" Meagan and Nissi plunk themselves onto the couch, refusing to move, "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!"
Kurama enters holding a tray piled high with chips and dip. He hands the plate to Vanessa and moves towards Nissi.
"Come on now—entertain them. They are swallowing their pride and singing for you an absolutely ridiculous song."
"But I don't sing!"
"I hear you singing everyday," he objects "Doesn't she, Hiei?"
Hiei turns from the window, eyes dull, "Hn. Yes, and the sound makes my eardrums bleed I'm surprised I'm not deaf."
"You see!" Nissi nods.
"Hiei!"
He winces and growls as Olivia comes behind him and whacks him across the head, "Onna…"
"Don't you listen to him, Nissi. You have a wonderful voice."
A loud screeching sound echoes throughout the room and catches everyone's attention. Vanessa quickly moves her hand (which is holding the mike) away from the speaker and the noise ceases.
"Sorry."
"I refuse to sing!" Meagan pouts.
"Fine. You don't have to sing but Nissi and one of the boys do," Botan gives her cat face.
"We're first!" Olivia shouts, clambering onto the platform." I wanna be Naruto!
Vanessa gives consent, the lights are dimmed until the spotlight is on the stage, and the music is played.

"(Cough, Cough) Ima ninja, it's your birthday, Ima ninja—"
"Quiet, I can't concentrate!"
"Dude we're ninjas, we graduated from ninja tech!"
/-
Yusuke leans over to whisper in Nissi's ear," they must love you a lot to be doing this." Malia nods in agreement.
/-
"We know ancient stuff and we have fun jfsd;ak things up."
"For instance—in the confusion of a smoke bomb I could remove your bra and you wouldn't even notice."
"I can jump roof to roof and get my friends free cable. It's bad df;jskl."
"I use, my Chinese star, to pick the locks, and steal your car!"
/-
"Ninja of the night!"
"Ninja of the night!"
"Ninja of the niiight!"
/-
The two bow and get off the stage as the others clap enthusiastically. Jin and Touya are especially amused, as they are ninja.
"Ya know Icy, I might have to try that smoke bomb thing," Jin glances at Malia.
"Jin—that is dishonorable!"
"Who cares?"
"I'm sure Malia would!"
"Aaw, Touya!"
Kurama clears his throat, averting all attention to him.
"Thank you. Now…which one of us guys is going up?"
The silence is so intense that the crickets can be heard chirping outside. The girls sweat drop, amazed that not even one boy is brave enough to go up. Sighing in defeat, Kurama nudges Nissi up and puts in a CD.
"Swing, Swing," Kurama informs his frightened girlfriend.
The music begins to play. Nissi stands rigid and looks down, her face deepening with a red shade as she waits for the words to start.
/-
"Days swiftly come and go
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions astir"
/-
"The sun is gone
The nights are gone
And I am left
While the tears fall"
/-
"Did you think that I would cry
On the phone?
Do you know what it feels like
Being alone?
I'll find someone new…"
/-
"Swing, swing, swing from the tangle of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?"
/-
Nissi continues singing, refusing to make eye contact with anyone, least she embarrass herself and screw up the lyrics. Mentally she wishes that the whole thing will soon be over and that Kurama hadn't picked a song that was written for a male's point of view.
/-
"Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginning do arise
She knows I was wrong"
/-
"The notes are old
They bend, they fold
And so do I
To a new love"
/-
"Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?"
/-
Kurama catches Nissi as she stumbles off the stage, preparing to fall on the cold floor. She moans, her face bright red. The Destinies cheer and clap. Kuwabara pats Nissi on the back, spouting numerous compliments until Touya jerks him away to give his own compliment.
"Don't you have something say, Hiei?" Meagan eyes him.
"Hn. It was adequate."
"So," Olivia smiles. "Which one of you boys is up?"
Instantly the attic deserted save for Botan and the Destinies, and even Botan leaves, hopping on her oar and flying off to see Koenma. The Destinies sit stunned, surprised that no boy would sing for them.
"We're going to remember this!" the five shout "And when you die and some back we won't sing for you!"
Five doors slam.
Finished! Guess what I'm doing with all those school papers when I get done? Meagan and I are going to burn them in the campgrounds. Mwahaha! Ja ne!
Nissi: Nooooo! T.T Don't burn your papers! Even if it is the end of the school year. Anyway, due to a cruel twist of fate on my behalf, (coughblackmailcough) I have to give you this link. DON'T COPY AND PASTE THE LINK! It's me singing Swing, Swing….. doesn't let you paste in URL's (it just deletes them is it seems them in auto-edit) so I lined up the URL vertically. You'll have to do copy and paste more than once...
