Friendship of the Bands

The day of the show
Everyone was nervous for the show Inuyasha hadn't told Kagome that their band got the job because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Kagome didn't tell Inuyasha for the same reason. So, neither one of them knew.
The whole gang (boys and girls) was sitting together in the corner of the parking lot. The school doesn't have a playground, only a parking lot. They were in middle school after all. All of a sudden Kagome got this look on her face and her eyes lit up, "What the hell are we going to wear?"
"Kag can it!" hissed Sango covering her best friend's mouth.
"Oops." Kagome shrugged and turned a light shade of red.
"What are you guys up to?" Sneered Koga.
"None of your business!" snapped Ayame. "C'mon were leaving. I sure as hell am not going to stay with a loser like him around." With that Ayame spun on her heel taking Rin's collar in one hand and Sango's in the other.
"I guess we are leaving." Pouted Kagome "I'll call you later k?"
"Yah, sure thing babe." Inuyasha quickly gave her a peck on the cheek before she was yarded off as well.
Miroku just shook his head and grabbed Sango's retreating ass, which earned him a slap.
Sesshomarou waved and squeezed Rin's hand and Ayame just stuck her tong out at Koga.
"Gods I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! I HATE HIM!" Shouted Ayame at the top of her lungs once they were away from the boys. "He is such and ignorant bastard! I hope he rots!"
"I think you like him and this is your way of covering it up." Suggested Rin
"Yah I think so too." Giggled Sango.
"Aww, c'mon guys. Not cool" Argued Kagome
"Yah, exactly. Thank you Kagome." Said Ayame
"She just needs to finally admit her feelings and she will feel better." Quipped Kagome
"No! Not you too!" Whined Ayame tears springing to her eyes "I would like him but he is such a jerk! He never and I mean never thinks about anyone but him self!"
"But you do like him. Don't you?" asked Sango
"Yah I mean you have to like him some. He is friggin hot!" added Rin
"Yes I like him a little bit and I would like him more IF HE WOULD STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE!"
"Well look on the bright side, He won't be at the show tonight." Said Kagome doing her usual part of keeping the mood calm.
Oh how very wrong she was…
The night of the show
"What the hell?" exclaimed Koga when he stepped onto the stage behind closed curtains.
"Huh" asked Miroku dumbly tripping over an electrical cord
"There is more that one set of equipment here."
"There seems to be" Said Sesshomarou coolly
"Well umm…I guess we get to pick which on we get to use…I guess." Suggested Inuyasha stepping over Miroku's body to the emerald guitar.
"Hay! Away from the Gibson!" Yelled Kagome from the other end of the stage followed closely by the rest of Chaos Awakening.
"What are you doing here?" leered Ayame in Koga's general direction
"I should be asking you the same question." said Koga with equal disgust
"If you must know, we got the gig tonight at the talent show."
"Liar! We did!"
"No way, only one act is going to open and the same one is going to close!"
"Yah! US!"
"GUYS KNOCK IT OFF!"shouted Inuyasha and Kagome at the same time as well as jumping in front of the two battling teens before anything got ugly.
"It seems to me that we both got picked and Mr. Cook forgot to inform us." Said Rin in a cool and emotion less tone much like that of Sesshoumaru's but no one noticed.
"Hmm," thought Inuyasha "good old Mr. Cook."
"Well, 2 minutes till curtain. We'd better get a move on." Said Miroku.
"You guy can sing first this time and for the closing act, we'll sing first. OK?" Asked Kagome trying to return talking to a civilize volume.
"All right, thanks babe." Said Inuyasha. He stepped forward and kissed her lips
"Welcome" she replied.
Everyone took their places and got ready to perform.
"Anyone else ready to hurl?" asked Miroku who-by this time- had picked him self up off the floor and taken his place at his instrument
"Yup, I am." Said Sango, her voice cracking a little bit.
"Never worry my fair lady, I'll catch you if you ever fall." Said Miroku as innocently as he could, which wasn't very innocent. He proceeded to reach over and grope Sango's ass.
Everyone was so caught up in their own nervousness to notice that Sango didn't slap him but lightly pluck his hand away from her butt and slap his own ass.
"You'd better not tell anyone about that or else, I wont' let you grope me again. Got it?" hissed Sango to a severely disoriented Miroku who nodded vigorously, showing his answer.
The curtain came up and the crowd hushed. This was the moment that the two bands loved the most. All eyes were on them and there was no sound. Utter silence. That's what made this worthwhile.
Mr. Tuinstra introduced them and Crimson Inferno began their song:
All:
There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And it awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving the moment when you are next to me
Miroku/Inuyasha:
Do you know that every time you're near everybody else seems far away?
So can you come and make them disappear?
Make them disappear and we can stay…
Koga/Sesshomarou:
So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
I search through every race
Without a single trace
Of the person, the person I need…
All:
Do you know that every time you're near everybody else seems far away?
So can you come and make them disappear?
Make them disappear and we can stay…
Miroku:
Can you make them disappear? Make them disappear…
All:
There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And it awakens the moment that you leave
I search through every race
Without a single trace
Of the person, the person I need…
Can you make them disappear? Make them disappear…
The crowd erupted in applause, then died down for the girl's song…
"Now here is Chaos Awakening!" Said Ms. Fendal over the noise
Kagome:
Just a day
Just an ordinary day
Just tryin to get by
Just a boy
Just and ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
As he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That every day he finds just what he's looking for
And like a shooting star shines, and he said
All:
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't' you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand?
Ayame:
And as he spoke,
He spoke ordinary words
Though they didn't feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of the time and he said
All:
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't' you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand
Kagome:
Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars
For time will not flee
Time will not flee
Cant' you see…
Rin:
Just a dream
Just and ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And that boy
That ordinary boy
Was it all in my head?
Didn't he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal and he said
All:
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't' you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand
Kagome/Ayame:
Just a day
Just and ordinary day
Just tryin to get by
Just a boy
Just and ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
The girls played their heart out totally forgetting that there was a talent scout out there and forgetting about the hundreds of people joining him. They just played the instrumental part. Kagome played for Inuyasha, Rin played for Sesshomarou but secretly, Sango played for Miroku and Ayame played for Koga. But no one besides them selves would find out.
Kagome:
If I could only get into that corner
Of your head where things finally match
And meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure
That you were looking for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
Ayame:
I am cryin
You aren't tryin
I am melting away
Kagome:
I wait for the words
On the tip of your tongue
I'm only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide as my goes unsung
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ayame:
Things are goin' crazy
And I'm not sure who to blame
Everything is changing and I do not feel the same
I'm slippin' through the cracks of floors
I thought that were strong
I'm tryin to find a place where I can feel like I belong
Ayame/Kagome:
Well I am cryin
You aren't tryin
I am melting away
All:
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't' you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand
Kagome:
If I could be the lesson that you learn
You learn if only I could be the last one that love burns
It burns yeah
If only I could get into that corner of your head
Of how I wish I was the treasure that you were looking for
I bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
Ayame/Kagome:
Well I am cryin
You aren't tryin
I am melting away
All:
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't' you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand
They struck the last chord and the crowd erupted into applause once again for the girls this time. Yes, life was pretty good right at the moment. Too bad they have one more song to do.
