Chapter 1 - by Leiko
It started with the guitar, then added in the acoustic closely followed by the keyboard, then the drums jumped in bringing the beat up for a few moments before a girl stepped forward and started to sing...
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Why do you look so familiar
I could swear that I have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I'd like to get to know you
a little bit more
I think there's something more
Life's worth livin' for
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
Yeah Yeah Yeah
How do you always have an opinion
And how do you always find
The best way to compromise
We don't need to have a reason
We don't anything we're just wasting time
I think there's something more
Life's worth livin' for!
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughin'
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughin'
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day!
Find yourself
'Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?
Find yourself
'Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?
The instruments slowed down until they came to a complete halt, leaving the drums still going with a fantastic beat. The girl at the mike began clapping her hands, urging the people in the crowd to do the same.
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
The instruments all picked up for one last time, giving a terrific climax to the song.
So you go and make it happen
Do your best
Just keep on laughing
I'm telling you
There's always a brand new day
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
The instruments faded and there was uproar from the crowd of applause and praise, as the two girls stepped back from the mikes, beaming smiles of pride.
"Not bad for a first gig, if I do say so myself!" One girl said. Beaming and radiant, but obviously tired from the many performances they had done that night.
"I agree!" The other said, obviously proud and not afraid to admit it.
"I have you compliment you guys on that one." One tall boy stood up, short neat brown hair. "Tell me Leiko, why don't you ever sing like that at practice?"
The girl he was talking to had black hair and jade green eyes. She turned and looked at the boy. "Honestly Seto! When we practice in our garage you don't have over 300 people watching you!" She beamed a smile his way and he just turned and walked away.
"Geez..." The other girl said. "He's being extra moody today! How can you put up with him?"
"Come on Tikaru. Give the guy a break... he usually acts that way anyways!"
"You have a point there." Tikaru smiled. "We better get ready to sing again! The crowd's getting restless!" She said with an uneasy eye towards the people infront of them.
"Yeah... hey! Ryou! Yuugi! Yami! We're getting ready to go again! Be ready!" The boys she was talking to nodded.
"Okay... you ready?" A boy with white hair said to Tikaru.
"Ryou... I was born ready!" She said with a smile, he returned the guesture.
Leiko turned around and mouthed to the rest of the group, 'One, two, three, go...'
Tikaru leaned into the mike, the lyrics spilling out of her mouth.
Something just isn't right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
Leiko now leaned into the other mike, giving Tikaru vocal support for the chorus.
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
This has gone on so long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me
When I'm alone I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
My heart is broken
I'm lying here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear
On you, my dear
On you, my dear
When I'm alone
I feel so much better
And when I'm around you
I don't feel
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
We've built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together
I don't feel together
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together
Once again the crowd was in an uproar as the group finished their performance for the night.
"That had to be one of the longest nights ever." Leiko said, plopping onto the couch, and kicking off her shoes in one swift motion.
"My feet are killing me." Tikaru said, falling into a nearby chair.
"Yeah..." Ryou said, sitting down in another chair across the room.
Seto walked into the living room and sat in the last remaining chair, which was hardly big enough for him.
Yuugi simply parked himself infront of the TV, picking up the controller and beginning to play the game he had saved before they left. Yami was watching him play over his shoulder, still not quite understanding the 'electronic box' that his aibou cherished playing so much.
Leiko laughed silently at the look on Yami's face as Yuugi's fingers sped over the buttons on the controller, his eyebrows weaved together in concentration. 'This is the life.' She thought to herself. Her life honestly seemed like it couldn't get any better. She lived with all of her best friends. So whenever she needed to talk to someone, they were right there. She sighed lightly and began to feel her eyelids growing heavy, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Tikaru yawned and stretched to her full length. "Well, if you don't mind me saying, I think it's about time we all go to bed!" She looked around at everyone else. She smiled when her gaze fell upon her sleeping friend. "Looks like Leiko was a lot more tired than she acted."
"Yeah..." Ryou said, also looking at the dozing girl. "Okay, come on guys. Let's get in bed."
"I agree aibou..."
"Aww man... just five more minutes." Yuugi said, never taking his eyes off of the TV screen.
"Nope! Not tonight buddy!" Tikaru said getting up. She put her finger on the power button, "Okay, you can save it now... or lose everything that you just did!"
"Fine!" Yuugi said, saving his game. He stood from the place he was sitting, and marched up to his bedroom. With Yami following close behind. (a/n there are three bedrooms in this house, Yuugi and Yami share one, Ryou and Tikaru share one, and Seto and Leiko share the last. Don't worry! There are separate beds in each room! .)
"Let's go Ryou-chan. I'm about to fall asleep right here..." Tikaru said, yawning. She lazily went up the stairs.
"Well, Seto? How are we going to get Leiko-chan upstairs?"
"Wha-?" Seto looked from Ryou to Leiko and back to Ryou again. "I guess... we'll have to carry her..." He said, walking over to Lieko, gently sliding his hands underneath her, and picking her up so he could carry her up to her room. He walked past Ryou without saying anything and silently went up the steps.
Ryou smiled. "He certainly has changed since he first moved in..." He laughed. "I guess living with a bunch of cheery people like us has an effect on people." He smiled again and walked upstairs, turning of all of the lights on his way up the steps. Leaving the house in silence... beautiful, peaceful silence.
So what do you think? Not bad for a first chapter? Please review! Don't flame please, flaming makes us sad!
