Chapter 10

Last Chapter:

Sesshomaru brushed a piece of hair off Kagome's face staring into her eyes. Sesshomaru leaned in for kiss and Kagome followed suit getting lost in Sesshomaru's golden eyes. As they were centimeters away a very hurt sounding voice said, "Kagome how could you?"

On With This Chapter

Meanwhile Sango, Botan, and Keiko were unpacking their things. Sango who was still feeling guilty hadn't said a word since the plane ride. "Come on Sango." Botan said. "Cheer up. I'm sure Kagome is fine. Don't worry you know she can take care of herself."

"I know but I still can't help worrying. I know it's all my fault she ran off."

Sighing in defeat the Botan and Keiko finished getting dressed and prepared for a night practice for tomorrow's concert. A few minutes later they went down to where they were supposed to the rest of the band for practice. Everyone was there except Hiei, Kurama, Sesshomaru, and Kagome, who they still figured missed the plane.

"Where are Hiei, Kurama, and that damn brother of mine?" Inuyasha yelled causing other people in the lobby to look at him curiously.

"Inuyasha," Sango spat, "stop before you cause a scene, people are staring."

Back in Kagome and Sesshomaru's room Kagome pushed Sesshomaru off of her to see Hiei staring at her. His usually emotionless eyes full of sorrow. "Hiei." She said walking towards her. Before she could get any closer Hiei fled. Kagome ran out the door to try and catch him, but didn't she him as she looked out the door. "Hiei." she said again a lone tear making its way down her cheek.

Sighing Kagome grabbed her coat and was about to flee when Sesshomaru put and arm around her waist and said, "Where are you going? We have a rehearsal tonight remember."

"I'm going after Hiei. Now let go of me. You can take your rehearsal and shove it up your-"

"Sesshomaru what's the hold up? Kagome?" Inuyasha asked coming to Sesshomaru's room to tell him everyone else was ready to leave. "What are you doing here? I thought you missed the plane."

"You thought wrong as usual Inuyasha. When will you ever learn you can't think?" Kagome retorted brushing past Inuyasha to the elevator.

Upon Kagome's entrance into the elevator Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru and said, "Why was Kagome in your room?"

"It seems Kagome is this Sesshomaru's roommate." Sesshomaru replied walking to the elevator. "Come Inuyasha or we'll be even later to the rehearsal."

"Hn whatever."

Kagome reached the lobby floor just seconds before the brothers did. The others sighed happily as they saw Kagome. Sango rushed to Kagome crying. Ignoring Sango Kagome looked around for Hiei. He wasn't in the lobby. 'Where could he be?' Kagome thought turning her attention back to Sango.

"Kagome I'm so happy to see you. I'm glad you're safe." Sango cried.

"Suck it up Sango." Kagome said harshly. "Punks don't cry." Pushing past a very hurt Sango Kagome went to get in the new tour bus that was bought just for their tour in America.

Kagome laid on one of the bottom bunks on the bus. She shut the curtain and took out her portable radio. Finding a suitable station Kagome thought about what she said to Sango. She knew she was worried about her but Kagome couldn't help it. If it weren't for Sango she wouldn't be in this mess with Hiei. Kagome knew she couldn't cry not after what she said to Sango for she'd be a hypocrite if she did, but one lone tear made it down Kagome's cheek.

A few minutes later they reached the stadium they'd be performing in the next day. AS soon as everyone was off the bus Sesshomaru said, "Yura you will open with two of your own songs then the Dark Jewels will go first, then the Shikon Betrayels, after their songs both groups will sing together. Now everyone take their places."

Yura was up first. Everyone who could hid behind stage in the rooms provided for them. Unfortunately for Sesshomaru he was stuck in front watching this horrendous display of tone deafness in the third row. After she was done, Sesshomaru and everyone else who had the displeasure of listening to Yura praised Kami-sama that it was over.

After everyone's eardrums stopped ringing the girls took the stage. Again Kagome took the mike for she would sing now and Keiko would sing while they sang wit the guys. The instrumental started then Kagome began to sing.

So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over

It's not like we're dead

Was it something I did?

Was it something You said?

Don't leave me hanging

In a city so dead

Held up so high

On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

[Sang Botan and Keiko sing chorus in background along wit Kagome.]

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

[Kagome started up again.]

You've got your dumb friends

I know what they say

They tell you I'm difficult

But so are they

But they don't know me

Do they even know you?

All the things you hide from me

All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know that you were there

Thanks for acting like you cared

And making me feel like I was the only one

It's nice to know we had it all

Thanks for watching as I fall

And letting me know we were done

[Chorus x2]

[x2]

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

After that the girls sang two more song then the guys took the stage. Hiei had finally shown up having taken a cab to get their. Instead of Yusuke taking the mike Hiei did. Everyone else took their respective instruments and started playing.

(It starts with)

One thing / I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on / but didn't even know

Wasted it all just to

Watch you go

[The others join Hiei.]

I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried

so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

[Hiei starts along again.]

One thing / I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so (far)

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me

In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There's only one thing you should know

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

After a couple more of their songs the girls joined them on stage. Sango and Yusuke took the mikes this time. Everyone else took their instruments and started to play.

[Keiko started.]

how can you see into my eyes like open doors

leading you down into my core

where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

until you find it there and lead it back home

[Yusuke and everyone else join into the chorus.]

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

before I come undone

(Save me)

save me from the nothing I've become

[Keiko again.]

now that I know what I'm without

you can't just leave me

breathe into me and make me real

bring me to life

[Chorus]

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

before I come undone

(Save me)

save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life

(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)

Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

[Yusuke]

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see

kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

[Keiko]

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

got to open my eyes to everything

[Yusuke]

without a thought without a voice without a soul

don't let me die here

there must be something more

[Keiko]

bring me to life

[Chorus]

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

before I come undone

(Save me)

save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)

I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside

(Bring me to life)

After singing a few more songs the group took a break to pack and get ready to leave. Tomorrow was the big day and everyone had to get some sleep. There would be one more practice in the morning before the performance that night.

Kurama noticed Kagome was acting a little distant so he decided to see what was wrong.

Kagome dreaded going back to the hotel. She was still sharing a room with Sesshomaru. Just then she saw Kurama get on the bus and head her way. "Hey what's up?" he asked sitting down on the bunk across from her.

"Nothing."

"Something must be wrong you didn't start a fight with Yura or Inuyasha." He answered chuckling a little remembering the practice were she beat the crap out of Inuyasha who still had a black eye.

Kagome smiled a little remembering how good it felt to beat Inuyasha up.

"You know what?" Kurama said causing Kagome to look up. "Why don't after we get to the hotel me and you take a walk and have some coffee at a great coffeehouse I found a couple of blocks away."

Kagome really just wanted to go to sleep but she saw Hiei coming down the isle looking at her. Kagome, wanting to piss him off for running away from her, reached over giving Kurama a hug and a smile said, "Oh course I would like to go for a walk and to the coffee house with you Kurama."

Hiei couldn't believe his ears. Two could play that game he thought. Seeing Yura Hiei did something he knew he would regret. "Hey Yura." He said sitting by her.

"Yes."

"Would you like to go out with me later tonight?" He said knowing he would hate every last minute.

"Umm...Okay."

"Great we'll leave when we get back to the hotel." He said getting up. 'Oh great' he thought 'this is going to be like a living hell.'
