Chapter: Can someone plz tell me

Last Chapter:

After Kagome left the room Kikyo came out of hiding from behind Kagome's couch. "Got the evidence. Kagome and Hiei are over."

This Chapter:

Pulling out her cell phone Kikyo quickly dialed the number she now knew by heart. "Hello. Yea. I got the evidence. No neither Kagome nor Hiei suspect a thing. Ok. I await further orders. Any way I can bring my sister down just let me know."

On stage sound and equipment crews were scrambling around onstage to prepare for the upcoming performance that night in just a few more hours. Yura, to the delight of everyone, stopped warming up her voice and retired to her dressing room; the Shikon Betrayal and the Dark Jewel with the exception of Hiei and Kagome were laughing and talking before the show. Hiei and Kagome were no where to be found.

After the stage manager made sure the microphone was high enough for Kagome she was allowed to roam free until the show. The first place she went as Hiei's room. 'Should I tell him?' she thought thinking back to the kiss Inuyasha gave her. 'That stupid man hoe!' Kagome ranted. 'I can't believe he did that.' Just as she was about to reach Hiei's dressing room door the door opened and out came Yura. She brushed past Kagome without so much as an apology and continued on her way. After recovering from the shock Kagome was about to open the door when she heard a voice call.

"Five minutes till curtain." called the stage manager. "I want everyone on the stage."

"Guess I'll have to find out what she was doing in there later." Kagome said to herself heading to the stage. As Kagome reached the stage she saw the rest of the Dark Jewel waiting for her. Sango like herself was dressed in a black mini skirt with pink fishnet on her legs with a black sleeveless shirt that had the Dark Jewels printed in Gothic letters on the front. Keiko and Botan were dressed in black pants with chains hanging from them and the same shirt as Sango and Kagome only they had pink fishnet on their arms.

"There you are." Botan said coming up to her as cheerful as ever. "We were looking for you earlier. We wanted to know if you wanted to play cards. Well I guess it's too late now. It's time for the show. I'm so excited."

"Botan stop. You're babbling again." Kagome retorted.

As the girls continued to talk Hiei had other things on his mind as he reached the Shikon Betrayal. 'What was that all about?' Hiei thought thinking back to what happened in his dressing room.

FlashBack

Hiei entered his dressing room to find Yura sitting in the couch positioned on the side wall wearing the shortest mini skirt he'd ever seen and a black low cut crop top. Narrowing his eyes in anger he said, "Yura what the hell are you doing in my dressing room?"

"Now Hiei," she responded, "is that anyway to treat a guest in your room?"

"Yes!" He growled, "An unwelcome guest. Now get out!"

"Touchy, touchy. I guess I'll see you on stage." With that Yura leaned in and gave Hiei a quick kiss and left passing Kagome on her way out.

End FlashBack

"Yo Hiei come on we got to go over our songs while Yura and the girls are singing." Kurama called from the huddle of male band members.

"Ladies and Gentleman!" the announcer called, "Let's give it up for Yura."

Only the smallest amount thought possible was the amount of applause Yura got. "Don't sound so happy to see me." Yura said under her breath. The music started up and Yura grabbed the microphone preparing to deafen the world. She sang a few song then announced, "Thank you that's all for me." The crowd erupted in boos. Yura huffed off the stage as the curtains fell.

"Wanna hear a real band?" a voice called out that the crowd new immediately was Kagome's. A loud chorus of cheers and shouts of yea flooded the arena. "Well looks like its unanimous ready girls?" The band flared to life as flames and fireworks cascaded across the stage memorizing all. Kagome roared her bass to life grabbed the mike and started singing.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Chorus
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

Chorus
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

Chorus
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Chorus
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

As the music died down the crowd went wild. "Do yall want another one?" Sango screamed into the mike. Of course they did after listening to Yura. "Well here's a new one."

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby

Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real

Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you

Why'd you turn away?

Here's what I have to say I was left to cry there,

Waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare

That's when I decided

Chorus

Why should I care

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

You, you need to listen I'm starting to trip,

I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place

When you turn around can you recognize my face you used to love me,

You used to hum

But that wasn't the case

Everything wasn't ok

I was left to cry there

Waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare

That's when I decided

Chorus

Why should I care

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

You, you need to listen I'm starting to trip,

I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Crying out loud I'm crying out loud

Crying out loud I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes

Open up wide

Why should I care

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Why should I care

Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Why should I care

If you don't care then I don't care were not going newhere

Why should I care cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Again the crowd went wild. The girls sang a few more song then the boys were up. At the sight of the Shikon Betrayals the girls screamed out their favorite members name and waved posters with their names written across them. "Sup everybody who wants to be perfect?" Screams answered the question proposed by Yusuke. The music started up and the female fans went wilder the ever screaming I loves you's and marry me's all over the place.

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

As the song ended screams filled the stadium almost deafening those around. "Who wants to hear a new one?" More screams answered the question. "Ok here goes."

Circling your, circling your, circling your head,
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth, I got doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later
I see your fantasy, You want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, Inside of our heads (yeah)
Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

Chorus:
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away

Conclusions manifest, your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of $#!T, and that's alright
That's how you play, I guess you'll get through every night
Well now that's over
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads (yeah) Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide

Chorus

Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away

I know, I know all about x3
I know, I know all about your motives inside, and your decision to hide

Chorus

Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away

After a few more songs the Dark Jewel joined the Shikon Betrayals on stage. "Mind if we join you?" Keiko said coming up to Yusuke and the center stage mike.

"Not at all girls. Give me a beat." (It all sounds so corny but I didn't know wut dey were supposed 2 say between songs) The band started up as each girl took their own instrument.

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't hear me

And they say
That a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Someone told me
Love would all save us
But, how can that be
Look what love gave us

A world full of killing
And blood spilling
That world never came

And they say
That a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Now that the world isn't ending
It's love that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do

And they say
That a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Repeat 3x
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away

The crowd cheered and cheered till they were red in the face and going hoarse. "Ya want another one?" Of course the they did and the band started up again.

When you refuse me
You confuse me
What makes you think I'll let you in again
Think again my friend
Go on misuse me and abuse me
I'll come out stronger in the end

And does it make you sad
To find yourself alone
And does it make you mad
To find that I have grown
I'll bet it hurts so bad
To see the strength that I have shown

When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

You do not know how much this hurts me
To say these things that I don't want to say
But have to say them anyway
I would do anything to end your suffering
But you would rather walk away

x2
And does it make you sad
To find yourself alone
And does it make you mad
To find that I have grown
I'll bet it hurts so bad
To see the strength that I have shown
When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

x2
When you answer the door pick up the phone
You wont find me cause I'm not coming home

After a few more songs it was time to leave. "Do yall want one more song before we go?" I'm sure by now you know the answer and again and for the last time that night the band started up.

Where you are seems to be
As far as an eternity
Outstretched arms open hearts
And if it never ends then when do we start?
I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did receive

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say

How does it feel to know you never have to be alone
When you get home
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I
Dream away everyday
Try so hard to disregard
The rhythm of the rain that drops
And coincides with the beating of my heart

I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did receive

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say

How does it feel to know you never have to be alone
When you get home
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I feel

"That's all folks. You were a great crowd and we loved you all. Goodnight." The lights came back on and the band walked off the stage. Congratulations and other conversations were started as the crew loaded up the bus for the departure to the hotel. It was their last night before moving on. As they were getting on the bus Sesshomaru's phone rang. "Sesshomaru." He answered.

"You don't seem to be doing your job." A voice said on the other side. "Hiei and Kagome still look like the picture perfect couple. I want them apart even if you have to kill Hiei to do it. I want Kagome to myself."

"Understood sir. I'm doing my best and shall try harder."

"You better." And then there was a click and the line went dead.

'Dammit he gets on my nerves thinking he can order me around like that. One day I'll show him.' Sesshomaru thought putting together his latest plan as he rode back to the hotel.

Well now you know the mysterious person reasons for trying break Kagome and Hiei up. Stay tuned to see who it is. You'll find out sooner or later. Have a Happy New Year.
