Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha. Duh.
Previously: "Kikyo will be singing next." The priestess slowly walked to the microphone. It had taken her awhile to finally decide on the perfect song… and she wanted to sing something for Inuyasha. Kikyo spoke in her usual soft voice, "I shall be singing Not Gonna Get Us by TATU."
Kikyo stepped away from the microphone and towards the rest of the group. She was almost crying, not able to believe that she just did that. Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo couldn't look at each other. Kagome finally walked to the microphone.
Hehehehehe... Souta's a sneaking little thing... I LOVE the song in this chapter. It is my all time favorite song. And it's an Inuyasha ending theme song... YAY!
"Alright Souta, its your turn. Get up here." Kagome turned to leave, but noticed Souta was nowhere to be found.
"Souta?" Kagome tilted her head. She stopped and sighed. He couldn't have gone anywhere… the whole area was surrounded…
"Hi Kagome!" Souta waved from the other side of the gates. Kagome's eye twitched. How did he do that?
Sesshomaru and Naraku glared. They would kill...
Souta stuck his tongue out and ran away, laughing. Kagome growled. He did that on purpose. He knew she didn't want to sing. Kagome gritted her teeth as she put a hand on the microphone.
"I suppose I'll be singing then…"
Inuyasha dared not laugh, though he came close to. Kagome sighed deeply and said, "I'm singing Minna no Kimochi Every Heart) by BoA..." No one said a word… they didn't want to miss bit of this; Kagome was the only person singing an actual Japanese song.
Kagome quickly glanced at Inuyasha with a small smile. He couldn't help but smile back. Not only have three people sung for him… but Kagome was singing her favorite song for him as well.
Kagome took a deep breath and let out her best singing voice…
Ikutsu… namida wo nagashitara
Every heart… sunao ni nareru darou
dare ni… omoi wo tsutaetara
Every heart… kokoro mitasareru no darou
Nagai nagai… yoru ni obieteita
Tooi hoshi ni… inotteta
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai wo sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
Kyou mo takai sora miageteiru
Donna egao ni deaetara
Every Heart… yume ni fumidaseru no
Hito wa kanashimi no mukou ni
Every Heart… shiawase ukabete nemuru
Itsuka itsuka… subete no tamashii ga
Yasuraka ni nareru you ni
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
Toki ni warai sukoshi naite
Kyou mo mata aruki tsudzukete yuku
Osanai kioku no katasumi ni
Atataka na basho ga aru… so sweet
Hoshitachi ga hanasu mirai wa
Itsumo kagayaiteita… so shine
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai wo sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
Kyou mo takai sora miageteiru
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
Toki ni warai sukoshi naite
Kyou mo mata aruki tsudzukete yuku
English Lyrics
Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every heart…
Every heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do? I can never say my loneliness
Every heart doesn't know so what to say oh what to do
Was afraid of darkness cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to distant million stars
Round and round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing, growing woe… baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky…
Every heart is shining all today
Show me now; what kind of smile do I come across
Every heart…
Every heart can take a step towards the dreams
All of us what to take a lasting happiness
Whenever you feel sad, I wanna hold you and give you a sound sleep
Someday every hearts gonna free and easy
We have peace of mind
Someday all the people find the way to love
Goes and goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself
Tomorrows never die
There is the warm heart places on my mind
In my earlist days there and it's so sweet
There are many stars they have talk with me so kind
They say yes always time's a friend of mine so shine
Round and round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing, growing woe baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky
Every heart is shining all today
Goes and goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself
Tomorrows never die
Kagome once again took a deep breath and backed away from the microphone. There was silence. Kagome sighed and went behind the curtains. Everyone stared at her. No one could blink or move.
Inuyasha finally spoke up.
"Kagome… that… was… incredible! You never told me you could sing like that!"
"Yeah Kagome… why didn't you say something before?" Sango asked.
Kagome shrugged, but smiled. Kikyo suddenly started clapping. A couple people looked at her, but then (of all people) Sesshomaru began clapping as well. Rin joined them. Pretty soon Kagome had a standing ovation and everything. The young girl blushed a deep red. She hadn't expected this…
"I nominate Kagome to be the winner of the contest!"
"I second it!"
"Third!"
Kagome was shocked. She hadn't even wanted to sing. But it really wasn't for the singers to decide… that was the audience's job. She couldn't stop smiling, though, from all the flattering comments. She finally went back up to the microphone.
YAAAY I looove that song! I HAD to make someone sing it. Ha, I can sing it in both Japanese AND English... get it me! Anywaaay... review! Last chapter is coming up! Get excited...
