Need to be Saved

Chapter 3: Karaoke

That seemed to bring everyone out of their stupor, and "Where have you been?" "What are you doing here?" "And we missed you!" came flying towards the inu demoness..

"Woah, woah! One at a time!" Whitney yelled, waving her arms in front of her. "Okay. I've been in Hiroshima, meeting these guys and starting a band. I missed you all too, and I'm here to see you all of course! Don't you wannna see me?" She pretended to pout by sticking out her bottom lip.

"No, no, of course not!" Kagome said hurriedly.

Kouga was watching the whole scene with amusement. Finally he decided to introduce himself, well rather get them to introduce themselves. "So, who are these guys, Whit?" He said, waving his hand at them.

Whitney's eyes lit up. "Oh yeah! I forgot. Kouga, Victoria, Ginta, and Hakaku," she pointed at each one in turn, " meet Harley, Sango, Kagome, Ayame, Kikyo, Kagura, Inuyasha, Naraku, and Miroku." She pointed to them all, and gasped when she was done, slightly out of breath. "Woo, that's a lot of people."

"Yeah, we got that out of the way…" Harley said, dragging Whitney to the center of the girls.

"Just hang with the gang, guys!" Whitney yelled back to Kouga, Ginta, and Hakaku as she latched onto Victoria's arm.

As soon as the girls, excluding Kikyo and Kagura, were sitting in a circle, Harley asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "Whitney, where have you been? It's been four years and all we've got from you were a few letters, and there was no return address. We thought you were never coming back!"

Whitney sighed and said, "I wasn't planning on staying gone for so long. I actually planned on coming back after I finished high school in Hiroshima, but when the year was over, I just didn't have the guts. I became friends with V and we got Kouga, an the guys to join the talent show the city was holding. We won, and then we got a record deal. That's where I've been. making CDs and shit like that."

"Oh." Harley said dryly.

Whitney flinched. "What the fuck is wrong with you! Are you mad that I'm back! If so, I'll be happy to leave again!"

"Are you having a fricken seizure or something'? Cause all I said was 'oh'. Kami." Harley growled as the other four girls backed away.

"I'm sorry, I know, I know. I'm just very tense about being here." Whitney explained.

"That's okay. " Harley said, nodding her head and waving it off. "So…. Whitney, we need to ask, uh…"

The other girls gathered around her again. "We want to know the reason you left, Whitney." Ayame said, locking her yes on the inu youkai. The other girls nodded in consent. Victoria just looked on in curiosity. Whitney had never said why she had left. In fact, the only one who knew about it was Kouga.

Whitney cast her eyes to the sand. "I left because I was accused of something that I did not commit. And by the person I thought would never do as such." She clenched her fists in pent up rage and sorrow.

"You mean cheating on Sesshomaru, right?" Kagome asked, her friend putting a hand on her friends shoulder.

Whitney nodded, her eyes turning to the ocean. "He said I cheated on him with Hiten and my cousin." She chuckled darkly. "And you know what else? He cheated on me for a month. And he wasn't lying." She turned back to them, her violet eyes turning black. "The fucking bastard did it just to get back at me from something I didn't even do!" She snarled, her claws lengthening.

The girls all gasped. Neither one had heard about that. They always thought he just pushed her over the edge, making her leave. Not cheating on her. "Who did he cheat on you with?" Harley asked when Whitney's eyes reverted back to normal and her claws shortened.

"I don't know. And frankly, I don't care. If the ass has the guts to cheat, then I'm glad that I left when I did." Whitney muttered.

Victoria watched as all the girls stared at Whitney strangely. She guess that they thought she would still be hung up on her past. "So, it's like eight o'clock right now." She said, gaining everyone's attention. "How about we hit some clubs?"

Harley jumped up instantly. "I know of a really cool karaoke bar! It opens at nine, we can all get dressed and meet somewhere."

They all nodded and went to get the guys. When they reached the spot they left them they started to laugh. Miroku was at the side watching the scene play before him. Inuyasha was neck deep in sand, with Naraku still packing some around his neck. Meanwhile, Kouga was standing atop his head yelling, "I have conquered the Inuyasha mountain. Although it is pea sized, it was rather tough getting through the few brain cells that covered his walnut sized brain!" Hakaku and Ginta were standing by Kagura and Kikyo with buckets full of water.

The girls were once again sun bathing and had their sunglasses on. Ginta whispered something to Hakaku, and then they dumped the dirty, sandy, slimy water over the two girls heads. The girls screeched and started screaming about nasty water and bugs in their bikini's. The two wolf demon's made the mistake of laughing and the girls glared at them. They grinned in malice, and started chasing the two boys around the beach.

The girls rolled over the small sand dune, laughing and giggling. Kouga jumped off of Inuyasha, pushing him even further into the sand, he landed in front of Whitney and Victoria as they leaned against each other for support. Naraku stopped his packing of Inuyasha's head and jogged over to the giggling girls. Miroku just grinned and strutted towards Sango as she stood. In a matter of seconds he was on the ground unconscious.

The girls told the guys about their plans and started to walk back to the cars after Ginta and Hakaku joined them, a few welts and bruises on their bodies.

They were almost to the parking lot when they heard, "Get your asses back here and dig me out of this fucking dirt hole!" They ran to Inuyasha, digging enough to uncover his arms. Harley and Whitney grabbed his arms, and after a few ow's and pulls later, Inuyasha flew out of the sand with a small 'pop.'

"It's like magic!" Hakaku whispered in awe.

"No stupid! It's called a spell!" Ginta exclaimed matter-of-factly, and the group sweat dropped.

?At the Shikon?

Harley, Whitney, Victoria, Inuyasha, Kouga, Ginta, Hakaku, Sango, Kagome, Miroku, Naraku, Ayame, Kikyo and Kagura were sitting at a table together. Bankotsu spotted the group and walked over, dragging an unwilling Sesshomaru with him.

Whitney was wearing a black tube top with 'bitch' written across the front in red lettering. Her white mini skirt with pleats went to mid-thigh, and white flip-flops completed the outfit. Harley wore a red halter top with 'sexy cat' written in black. She also wore dark blue jeans and red heels. Victoria's outfit consisted of a dark blue off-the-shoulder shirt with 'sly fox' written in white letters. A pair of black pants with silver heels made the outfit dazzle.

"What's up, homies?" Bankotsu inquired, his eyes traveling over the group and lingering on Victoria. "Who might you be?"

"Oh, I'm Victoria Diaz, but you can call me V." She said shyly. He smiled at her, and sat down across from Victoria. Sesshomaru, however, stood still in slight annoyance. Tension filled the air, and Miroku picked up his knife and started slicing through the air.

"What are you doing?" Sango furrowed her brow as she watched the monk's antics.

"Just cutting the tension." Miroku commented, continuing on his merry way.

"Okay guys! Tonight is open karaoke! Any volunteers?" The host spoke energetically, his eyes scanning the crowd. Whitney jumped up with a murderous glare towards Sesshomaru. The inu youkai pulled Harley to her feet as well, and ran up to the stage. They walked up to the host and Whitney whispered the song she wanted them to sing. The DJ nodded his head and handed them two mikes. The girls quickly made their way to the small stage. Harley looked at Whiney curiously. "Okay, People. This song is dedicated to an ex and if you don't know who you are, then I guess you're dumber than you look."

They lifted their bowed heads as the music started, their eyes still closed. Swaying their bodies to the music and beat.

Whitney: Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Harley: (I'm going under)

They lifted their hands and reached towards the ceiling.

Harley and Whitney :Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Whitney: Maybe I'll wake up for once Harley :wake up for once
Whitney and Harley: Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
Whitney: I'm dying again

Whitney closed her eyes and sung her part with Harley, who walked the stage, surrounding herself in the music.

Whitney and Harley: I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Whitney stilled again, bowing her head, as Harley seemed to float across the length of the stage. That's how graceful she looked.

Whitney: Blurring and Stirring the truth and the lies
Harley: So I don't know what's real and what's not
Whitney: Always confusing the thoughts in my head
Harley: So I can't trust myself anymore
Whitney: I'm dying again

They lifted their heads and sang to the heavens, eyes closed, and hands in fists in front of them.

Whitney and Harley: I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through

Whitney: So go on and scream
Whitney and Harley: Scream at me I'm so far away
Whitney: I won't be broken again
Harley and Whitney: I've got to breathe I can't keep going under

Whitney: I'm dying again

They walked the stage as the song did an interlude, waving to the music ans swaying their hips.

Whitney and Harley: I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through

Whitney and Harley: I'm going under x2

Whitney: I'm going under

(Don't own this song)

As the song ended the girls bowed their heads and smirked as the bar erupted into cheers. They lifted their heads up to their table. They were all staring at them in awe. Harley smiled at them, while Whitney narrowed her eyes in a certain inu youkai's direction. They walked back to the DJ and handed him the mikes, flouncing to their table. The table was silent as Harley sat next to Inuyasha, while Whitney sat next to Kouga. Sesshomaru didn't say a word as the table began to compliment them on their performance.

"You guys should think about doing a song together," Bankotsu said, his arm draped over Victoria's, who was blushing a deep red, chair.

Harley tilted her head while Whitney tapped her lip. 'Same old habit.' Sesshomaru thought. "It would be cool to do a song together, Whit." Harley said after a moment.

Whitney nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah, but what type of song would we do? I mean, most of my songs are based on heartbreak and sorrow. I heard your song, 'Crush,' (Don't own it) I like it, but it has nothing to do with our style." Whitney said, motioning to the members of "Wandering Souls."

Harley nodded and said, "I see what you mean. Maybe we can think on it later. How long do you have here?"

Whitney was about to answer when Kouga cut in. "Three weeks before we have to head back to Hiroshima. Our manager Menomaru wants a break or something." He shrugged, placing his arm around Whitney's shoulder.

Sesshomaru had to bite his tongue to stop a growl escaping his lips. He fleetingly thought that she was doing it on purpose, but she was completely ignoring him, so he ruled that out. He watched as Inuyasha and Kagome began to speak about the next song. Finally, they stood up and walked to the DJ. They walked up to the stage seconds afterwards.

The music started off with something like the opera. Inuyasha sat on a stool, while Kagome stood in front of the crowd.

Inuyasha: Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again

Kagome and Inuyasha: You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

Kagome: They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Inuyasha: But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

Kagome and Inuyasha: Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

Kagome: They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Kagome: They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

They sat still as another opera interlude came to the music.

Inuyasha: Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

Kagome: They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Opera interlude until the end…

The crowd was silent for a few seconds before once again falling into cheering and whooping. Inuyasha nodded his head, while Kagome bowed, and then they walked towards their table. The table cheered and clapped them on the back, congratulating them on a job well done.

"So, Inuyasha, you're the lead singer of the band, 'Dark Haven'?" Whitney more stated then asked.

Inuyasha nodded. "How'd you find out?"

Whitney shrugged, and went to answer again when Kouga once again cut in. "It's obvious. How deep your voice is, not to mention we heard one of your songs on the radio." The group wasn't listening to him though. They watched as Whitney's hand tightened on her glass, and her eyes darted between Kouga and her clenched fist. Her teeth were clenched and her lip was slightly bleeding. Kouga turned to her, a worried expression adorned his tan face. "Hey are you okay? I smell your blood."

Whitney growled and stood up, waking to the bar.

A/N… K, k guys! Another chap done!

Sessh: Finally

Har: What is that supposed to mean?

Sessh: Why is This Sesshomaru the villain?

Whit: Cause you are!

Har: Whatever…hey, wanna know what Whitney just said?

Whit: Huh?

Har: Whitney just admitted that Inuyasha was hot! YAY!

Sessh: WHAT!

Inu: …

Whit: You weren't supposed to tell!

Har: You should know me better than that by now.

Sessh: You are not allowed to think my little brother is 'hot'

Inu: I feel awkward…

Whit: You aren't the only one buddy.

Har: You better not try to murder Inuyasha, Sesshomaru.

Sessh: And why would This Sesshomaru do such a thing? (Halo appears)

Har and Whit: Cause you're Sesshomaru
