Chapter 17:
It was time to go to Club Tokino, and the band was ready.
They arrived at 7:30 so they could get ready and everything. Mayuka told them that if the manager liked them, then he would let them come back. She also said that there was free food and drinks for people who were playing. Which the band really didn't have a problem with.
Once Mayula showed up at the club though, people were all over her. Camera flashes were going off, people asking to get a statement, people running up to her to get autographs. Then Koga walked in, and most of the girls that were around him looked like they could faint any moment. Some of them were yelling, "That's my man! Koga!"
Koga only looked in the direction of the girls and said, "Sorry girls, but I'm already taken." To which all the girl moaned and sounded like they were complaining.
Then Koga and Mayuka found Inuyasha and the gang.
"Hey guys! Did you get all set up?" Mayuka asked.
"Yes." Inuyasha groaned.
"Good." Mayuka replied. Then a man walked up to Mayuka.
"Mayuka!" The man exclaimed.
"Mike!" Mayuka exclaimed back as she gave the man a hug.
Then the man pulled away to look at her face. "It's been so long! How have you been?"
"I've been great! And you?" Mayuka asked.
"Well, I've also been doing great!" Mike exclaimed, pointing out how successful the club was. Then he looked at Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango. "Are these the kids?" He asked while pointing to them.
"Yep! These are the Feudal Age Kids. And this one here, is my youngest brother." Mayuka said as she put an arm over Inuyasha's shoulder.
"And who's this?" Mike asked while pointing to Koga.
"This is my boyfriend Koga. He plays the drums for his own band." Mayuka replied.
"Really?" He asked, then he turned to Koga. "Have you ever considered playing here?"
"I was never able to get a gig here. We have an album out if you want to hear what we look like. I'm the drummer for The Bad Boys band." Koga replied.
"Oh! You're that kid!" Mike replied. "Well! I'll be sure to get you a gig here ASAP." Mike told Koga. Then he turned to Mayuka. "Have a great time, and your friends here will be on in five minutes. So they better head back stage."
"Sure thing Mike!" Mayuka exclaimed.
"Who was that guy?" Inuyasha asked.
"He's the owner of this club." Mayuka replied. "And you guys better do good. You skipped out on the last gig I got you. If you don't do good here, then Mike will never let ME sing here again." Mayuka informed them. "SO DO GOOD!!!" She yelled, then went back to wondering around the club.
"Ready to go?" Sango asked.
"Yeah." Inuyasha replied as everyone stood and headed back stage.
"So, we're going to do the song we prcaticed earlier today?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah." Inuyasha replied. "Exactly how we practiced.
"OK." Kagome replied as they went through the doors to get backstage.
Then a woman walked out on stage. She was wearing a pair of black, boot-cut jeans, and a black tank-top. Her hair was black and pulled up in a pony-tail, and her eyes were a pale blue. She held a microphone in one hand as she spoke. "OK! Well let's here it for Makino Ichagwa!"
Everyone clapped their hands.
"And now we have a new bandplaying here for the first time. I give you, The Feudal Age Kids!" The woman yelled, then Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango all walked out onto the stage and went straight to the instuments.
Breakdown
I can't take this
I need somewhere to go
Kagome sang:
I need you
I'm so restless
I don't know what to do
Inu/Kag both sang:
'Cause we've had our rough times
From fighting all night
And now you're just slipping away
So just give me this chance
To make the wrong right, to say:
Don't
Don't
Don't walk away
I promise
I won't let you down
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
We'll be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight
Inu sang:
Without you
Kag:
I go through the motions
Inu:
Without you
Kag:
It's just not quite the same
Inu:
Without you
Kag:
I don't want to go out
Inu/Kag:
I just wanted to say
Inu:
That I'm sick of these fights
I'll let you be right
If it stops you from running away
Kag:
So just give me this chance
To make the wrong right, to say:
Don't
Don't
Inu/Kag:
Don't walk away
I promise
I won't let you down
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
We'll be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight
All the people in the audience applauded. And The Feudal Age Kids took a bow before heading towards the exit of the stage. But then they were stopped by the girl that had done the introduction.
"What are you guys doing?" The girl asked.
"We sang, and now we're going." Miroku told her.
"But you're supposed to do two spots." The girl replied.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"You were scheduled for two spots. Both back-to-back. Now get back out there!" The girl ordered.
"But we didn't know. We thought we were only doing one song!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Too bad." The girl said. "Just figure something out!"
Then everyone huddled.
"OK. What do we do?" Inuyasha asked.
"We could just sing a song that we know by heart." Miroku said. "We don't have to do something new."
"True." Inuyasha said. "But which one?"
"I could do one that I made up?" Kagome suggested.
"I just need you to come in with the extra intruments when I cue you in. Just go with the beat to what I'm doing on the piano." Kagome told them.
"What song is that?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's called Untitled." Kagome replied. "Now are we going to do this or what?" Kagome asked.
Everyone looked at Inuyasha.
"It would be something new." Sango said.
"OK. We'll do that." Inuyasha said. "Now let's go!"
Then they headed out onto the stage, and Kagome went over to the piano she had the people set out for her. And she started to play.
I open my eyes
I try to see to but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight
And I ca't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain
How could this happen to
I made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipp'n of the edge
I'm hang'n by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold
Onto a time when, nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't
How could this happen to
I made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Kagome's cues Inuyasha to bring in the guitar and Miroku to play the bass with Inuyasha.
Then they stop and Kagome continues on the piano.
I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Then they were done, and walked off stage, only to be tackled by paparazzi.
