Chapter 3 Day One

The next day the girls woke up early and quickly got dressed, took showers and had breakfast. By the time that was all done it was 9:30 and time for the girls to leave.

"Ready?" Asked Ayame as they headed out the door.

"Yeah!" said Sango.

"You know, I have this feeling today is going to be a really good day!" Smiled Kagome.

"Me too!" Sango agreed.

When the arrived at the auditorium where they were to perform, it was abuzz with excitement! People were carrying equipment here and there, judges talking to contestants, music being played in the background. They headed back stage and set down their belongings before going to find Yukiko.

"Yukiko!" Ayame called when she spotted her walking by them.

"Yes?" She turned to face them.

"How do we know what order are we to perform in?"

"There is a bulletin board at the back of the dressing room, listing the orders you are all to sing in. Check there."

"Thank you!" Sango called to Yukiko's retreating form.

Back in the dressing room

Kagome stood in front of the Bulletin board running her finger down the list. "I'm Second, Ayame you are third and Sango you are fourth."

"Who's first?" Asked Sango.

"I am." Came a voice from behind.

"Kikyo, what do you want!" snarled Ayame

"Can't an old friend come and congratulate you guys on making here?" Kikyo pretended to be hurt.

"Sure, just one problem you're not an old friend!" Ayame said crossing her arms defensively.

"That hurts Sango. It hurts me right here." Kikyo placed a freshly manicured hand over her heart.

"Will you just leave us alone for once!" Kagome asked unable to control her anger any longer.

"Only this once. Besides I have better things to do than, stay here with you losers." She said giggling as she left the room.

"God, I hate that bitch." Kagome said sitting down in the nearest chair.

"Everyone hurry take your places! We're about to start!" Yelled one of the stage hands.

"WOW! The place is totally packed! I don't think I can do this," Said Sango peeking out from behind the curtain.

"Just don't think about the people. Pretend your singing to me or something." Kagome advised her friend.

"Easy for you to say! You're used to being in front a bunch of people!"

Before the girls new it, it was Kagome's turn to perform. "Now presenting Higurashi Kagome, singing Kelly Clarkson's "Because of you." After being introduced she quickly took her place on the stage. When the music started the word poured out of her mouth, in perfect pitch.

"Because Of You"

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

When her song had ended she stayed a moment longer, as the audience erupted in applause, and then walked off the stage. The host then introduced Ayame, and then Sango.

Hearing her sing that song made him feel horrible! She chose that song because it explained the hurt he had caused her. Well from this day on he was doing to change that! He was so caught up in his thought he only heard the ending to Sango's song.

"Isn't Sango great?" Asked Miroku, jabbing Inuyasha in the ribs.

"Yeah, sure." 'I bet Kikyo is going to give Kagome a hard time!' The inu youkai thought miserably.

Backstage

"That was a nice song you sang Kagome," said Kikyo in her singsong voice. "It was sooo sad! I wonder why?"

"Shut up Kikyo! I'm not going to take your shit anymore! Just leave me alone!"

"You're going to regret saying that!" With that Kikyo stormed off toward the dressing rooms.

"Great job, Kagome!" Praised Ayame.

"Don't take any of her crap!" said Sango.
