I do not own All I Really Want it is owned by the wonderful Alanis Morissette, who I do not own. Nor do I own Anything But Ordinary, though it is my theme song, and I do not own its owner, the talented Avril Lavigne.

BACKSTAGE
"So, what's our first song going to be?" Rogue asked.
"I'm not sure." Risty answered. "We're doing our song last..."
"And we're doing your theme song second." Dante added.
"Stop calling it my theme song!"
"What are we doing first!" Rogue yelled.
Risty smirked. "Follow my lead."
IN THE CROWD
The Spirit Detectives were standing in the front of the crowd of demon teenagers waiting for the show to start.
"So what's the deal with them?" Yusuke asked.
"Risty and Rogue are old friends of mine." Kurama answered.
"I think he meant why are they insane." Hiei told him.
"They aren't insane. They're perfectly normal."
"They dragged you into a dunk tank, and have jumped around hugging each other more than once." Yusuke told him. "You call that sane?"
"No, I call it normal. If they didn't act like that I might have to start worrying about them."
"Risty is kinda hot though." Kuwabara muttered.
'Good.' Hiei thought. 'As long as it keeps you away from my sister.'
"But Kuwabara, what about Yukina?" Yusuke asked with a meaningful glance at Hiei.
"You're right, Urameshi. I have to think of her."
'I'm going to kill you.' Hiei mouthed at Yusuke. Yusuke just smiled back at him.
"As long as you don't tell Risty you think she's hot." Kurama told him.
"Why?"
"The last guy who told her that is being used as fertilizer."
"Is that a threat?"
"No, it's a warning." Kurama glanced at him. "I'm not the one who killed him."
Kuwabara paled and looked up as the lights turned on and the crowd began cheering.
Rogue and Dante walked onto the stage carrying their instruments and Risty was holding a black microphone with a red dragon on it. She turned and whispered something to Rogue before bending over and pulling a black harmonica with the same red dragon out of her pants pocket. She began playing as Rogue and Dante did. Soon she began singing:
Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out,
And you say, How appropriate.
I don't dissect everything today,
I don't mean to pick you apart you see but I
Can't help it.
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off,
Slap me with a splintered ruler.
And you would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already,
If only I could hunt the Hunter.
Yeah.
And all I really want,
Is some patience.
A way to calm the angry voice.
And all I really want, is deliverance.
Do I wear you out?
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out.
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary.
I'm like Estella,
I like to reel it in and them spit it out,
I'm frustrated by your apathy.
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land.
If only I could meet the Maker.
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man,
I'm humbled by his humble nature.
Yeah,
And what I wouldn't give,
To find a soul mate.
Someone else to catch this drift.
And what I wouldn't give,
To meet a kindred.
Enough about me, Let's talk about you for a minute.
Enough about you, Let's talk about life for awhile.
The conflicts, the craziness, and the sound of pretenses falling,
All around, all around.
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here can you handle this...(everything went silent for a few moments)
Did you think about your bills,
Your ex,
Your deadlines,
Or when you think you're gonna die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse,
A soul to dig the hole much, deeper.
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying.
If only I could kill the Killer.
And all I really want,
Is some peace man.
A place to find a common ground.
And all I really want, is a wavelength.
All I really want, is some comfort.
A way to get my hands untied.
And all I really want, is some justice
Risty turned and met Rogue's eye. Rogue nodded and reached into her pocket for different guitar pick. Risty then met Dante's eye. He smiled at her and mouthed 'Your theme song' to her. Risty stuck her tongue out at him and turned back to the audience. Her voice was soft and husky during the verses and got louder and stronger during the chorus.
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out,
And laugh myself to sleep,
It's my lullaby.
Sometimes I drive so fast,
Just to feel the danger.
I want to scream, it makes me feel alive.
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip, my heart out,
And leave me here to bleed.
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life.
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is w beautiful,
accident, turbulent, succulent,
opulent, permanent
No way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away.
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
Risty met both of their eyes again before jumping into their song.
IN THE CROWD
"That, is what Dante calls Risty's theme song." Kurama explained.
"'Anything but ordinary'? What is that supposed to mean?" Yusuke asked.
"If you made her do something 'normal' she would probably try to kill you."
"Then why isn't half of Japan dead yet?"
"Because it's Kurry-chan's unofficial job to keep her from killing people." Dante explained.
"What are you doing here?" Yusuke asked.
"Hn. The show's been over." Hiei told him.
"Yeah, what the cool little dude said."
"What are they doing now?" Kurama asked, burring his head in his hands.
"Well, Risty was so pumped up on adrenaline right now, we had to hold onto her to keep her from jumping off the stage."
Kurama's eyes widened. "Do I want to know?"
"They're out back singing Dixie Chicks songs." (A/N Which I do not own.)
"Guess we have to go get them, huh?" Yusuke muttered.
"No, we can just leave them there for a while." Kurama told them. "They'll go home then."
"But, we're under orders to watch them." Kuwabara objected.
"Leave it go." Kurama told him.
I apologize if I got some of the lyrics wrong. Please don't hurt me!
Review please!
