He crept inside his house, hearing nothing but his own footsteps, figuring that his parents were sleeping. He scaled the stairs in a few jumps and crashed into his room. Flipping on a lone lamp he grabbed a pad of paper and a pen, sitting down in one of the few clean spaces on his floor. He looked down at the paper blankly, then out his window.
He had been so full of emotion and idea when he raced home, but now as he sat here, ready to write, his mind was cleared from everything. He glanced at his clock, already beginning to count the time until he would be put to rest.
I can't give up, can I?
"Where's that mutt?" Kouga growled, looking around for any sight of their white-haired friend. His companion brushed his chestnut bangs from his eyes lazily, watching the man with mild interest.
"Chill Kouga, he'll be here. He knows that we've got to practice." He said as he saw a short fleck of silver appear on his right.
"If he's any later, then we'll miss our slot in the music room. We only have it for our spare." He said as he took a few steps towards the doors where he expected Inuyasha to come through.
"Patience."
"Patience lost itself a long time ago Miroku, when that fuck—"
"Sorry I'm late." Inuyasha puffed out as he came to a halt by the music doors. "I was up late."
"Doing what? Masturbating?" Kouga scoffed, laughing at his own joke.
"No, writing this." He said showing them the contents of the papers he was holding. Miroku picked up a sheet and scanned it over, his eyebrows furrowed in thought.
"Why the hell would you spend you night writing a song when you knew that we needed to practice for our performance!" He ground out in anger.
"We're playing this, tonight." He said with a smirk as he watched the man's face twist into rage.
"We already have fucking song you retard! We're not going to learn a new one for tonight just because you want us to!"
"Well we're going to play it, whether or not you like it!" Inuyasha shot back.
"I don't like it, and we're not going to play it! We already have a song to play, and we're going to play it!"
"Listen here you fuc—"
"STOP!"
Both males looked to Miroku, who had been scanning over the song whilst they were arguing. They waited in silence, staring at him as he stood there looking like he had just found a cure for cancer.
"It's good, it's simple—we'll play it."
And with that, he walked into the music room, leaving the boys in his wake.
She didn't know why she came. Sango forced her to come, saying that it would be worth her time. But really, it was just a waste. She had sat there, watching the talented-challenged try and make something of themselves. The acts were slowly rolling by, and she just wished for the end. She was so into her complaining and self-wasting that she barely paid attention to the familiar name.
"Ladies and gentleman, I present to you Soundbox."
Inuyasha emerged on stage and when he took his place where she had stood the other night, her throat closed.
"This song is called "I Caught Fire", it's for someone out there. Hope you're listening." He said into the microphone before he broke into the music, his band following suit.
"Seemed to stop my breath, my head on your chest waiting to cave in, from the bottom of my…" He smirked at her reaction, her face slack and eyes wide. "Hear your voice again, could we dim the sun and wonder where we've been. Maybe you and me so kiss me like you did; my heart stopped beating, such a softer sin."
Miroku stepped up to the microphone and joined him as they jumped into the chorus. "I'm melting in your eyes, I lost my place, could stay a while; and I'm melting in your eyes. Like my first time, that I caught fire; just stay with me, lay with me now."
His eyes laughed at her as he continued to strum his guitar, letting the music flow around him. He barely concentrated on the words or the instrument he was playing, just her.
"Never caught my breath, every second without you I'm a mess. Ever know each other, twist these words are stones. Why cuts aren't healing, learning how to love."
"I'm melting in your eyes, I lost my place, could stay a while; and I'm melting in your eyes. Like my first time, that I caught fire; just stay with me, lay with me now."
As he opened his mouth, so did his heart. Everything was singing out to her at that moment. "You can stay and watch me fall, and of course I'll ask for help. We could take our heads off; stay in bed, just make love that's all."
"I'm melting, I'm melting in your eyes, I lost my place, could stay a while; and I'm melting in your eyes. Like my first time, that I caught fire; just stay with me, lay with me now. Like my first time, that I caught fire; just stay with me, lay with me now."
"In your eyes, we'll sleep till the sun burns out, I'm melting in your eyes, let's sleep till the sun burns out, I'm melting in your eyes."
She saw him smirking at her, and suddenly she became confused. Everyone began to applaud quite loudly, and all she could do was stare, open-mouthed. He looked away and she glanced down at her red converse shoes. Her mind began to spin and suddenly the room became smaller.
She needed out, she needed air.
Quickly she pushed her way out of the aisle and raced out of the gym. She made a beeline for her locker, racing around corners. Her footsteps echoed loudly in the empty school. She reached her locker and opened it, only to be greeted by the faces of her favorite musical artists. She sighed, and tried to remember why she was here in the first place. She took one last glance at the inside of her locker before closing it.
To her right, she saw the boy who was confusing her at the moment. She took a glance at the exit to her left and the boy to her right. She was placed in a situation to find out the mystery of her confusion, or just go home. She gave a quick smile before running off after him.
Uh yes.

Nothing much to say.
Nothing whatsoever.

Disclaimer: I don't own this song, The Used owns "I Caught Fire". The lyrics of the song hit me and I thought that most of it worked out.
