Chapter 6 is now up and alive! Sorry it took so long. I've gotten a bunch of reviews I need to go over, and an explanation on why I might not be able to update for a little bit o the coming next 2 weeks. But first the thank-yous…

Here is a reason why I might not be able to update…
Ok, I have a science project that just came up. I get 4 weeks to work on it, but this is a BIG project I do not want to procrastinate on. Its worth 80 of my 2nd quarter grade, and if I don't get a passing grade, the teacher says I will take the class over. Believe me, my grade in this class is pretty good, and this class is pretty hard. But its that important, and even though my grade is good, it could bring it down just like that. And if you don't believe my grade in this class is good, then explain why I made A Honor Roll. (Saying this cause I got an F for a quarter in Math one year, and Science isn't one of my best classes)
And there is the reason. Need I remind people I have a life and cannot update every hour of the day.
Part of this chapter I got the idea from Hana-Kimi: For You In Full Blossom. Hana-Kimi is my favorite series and I suggest that all reviewers give it a try. The part was taken from volume three, and I am stating right now instead of in the disclaimer that I do not own Hana-Kimi, but Hisaya Nakojo does.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMM. I do own the plot for this story, and I do own all these songs that I have written. If you want to use them, you ask me. And if there is a song that I put in here that I do not own, I will let you know.
"We've finally arrived!" Mint declared, hopping out of the plane.
"Yeah, and it's already 4:00," Zakuro commented, looking at her watch and determining the back-tracking of time zones. (A/N: I didn't really calculate time-zones, so if you actually try to calculate them on your own, you might get a different time. Don't get all up in my face about it!)
"4:00! But the shows in 2 hours!"
"Chill Mint; we're 20 minutes away from the Concert Hall," Kish said, trying to calm her. Mint still didn't calm down, and tensed up more when the driver was 10 minutes late.

"Same order as last time, I hear. You girls better get going," Ryou said as they finished up talking backstage.
"Where are you going, Ryou?" Ichigo questioned.
"Oh, I forgot something in the tour bus. I'll be right back."
……………………………………………………………….
Ryou grabbed his guitar pick and water, which he had left in the tour bus on accident. He was walking back to the door when he saw two young men taking with Aoyama. Ryou decided to ignore it, but upon hearing a bit of their conversation, he hid around the corner and listened to what they had to say.
"So, what happened to that girl you were with last year? The blonde one, with the green eyes? She was a model, right?"
"Man, are you dumb? Aoyama has a new girl each year. Just don't even bother asking what happened to the old ones."
"Aoyama has a new girl each year…..now that I think about it…..that is accurate…"
"You guys should see this year's girl. She is a major babe! And she's part of that band Ryou, Kish, Tart, and Pai are in."
"Stupid Aoyama….wait……is he talking about Ichigo?"
"Wait….you mean Kish, Pai, and Tart? Those three brothers who were in our rival gang?"
"They must've gone soft. I heard after they hooked up with Ryou, they tore off all former connections with their gang."
"They did grow soft. Remember that girl from a couple of years ago? The one with the green hair? Pai and her are getting married."
"Too bad. Those guys were the best fighters in the gang. And Ryou, he was in grade-school with us. Man, was he the biggest loser or what?"
"He still is a loser."
Ryou tensed up as he heard Aoyama's voice say, "He is a loser." He was just about to leave when he heard….
"But back to the girl. Her name's Meo."
"Sounds like the name of a cat. You've picked a target already? Man, you are fast."
"I knew it! It was Ichigo!"
"That poor girl. She's going to fall so hard for you. And just when she thinks you and her are meant to be….BOOM! You dump her."
"Yeah, dude. You're going to destroy her mentally and physically."
"You got that right. And hey, you guys act just like me."
"Hey, we're trying."
"After all, why wouldn't we act like the leader of our gang."
"You mean former leader," Aoyama said.
"Yeah, but at least we don't break off all connections with you like Pai, Tart, and Kish. Those cowards."
"You know why we came here? It's because the gang has been falling apart ever since you left."
"Oh no…..I have to warn Ichigo! This…..this explains what he did to Lettuce. Why she was so shaken up and wouldn't tell what he did, only mutter his name."
He waited for the men to move away, and then snuck back into the building. He stopped at their rehearsal room, realizing Ichigo would be in there.
"Wait……but she's in love with him…and….she won't believe me…."
"Ryou! There you've been! You're been gone for at least 15 minutes."
Ryou remained silent, staring at Ichigo, wondering if he should tell her or not.
"Ryou…..is something wrong?" Ichigo asked.
He decided against it.
"No, Meo. I'm fine."
……………………………………………………………….
"Welcome everybody! We are the Mew Mews!" Ryou declared into the microphone. It was followed with shouts from lots of fans.
"Are you all ready to have a good time!" he shouted again, as the yelling from the crowd got louder.
Song Title: The Emptiness Within
Ryou: Slowly searching my own thoughts
But every time I check, I come up with nothing
This hole inside cannot portray the truth
I think I'm running out of time
Inspecting (Ichigo echoes)
Correcting (Ichigo echoes)
There's nothing left to be found (Ichigo whispers) Nothing
Decaying (Ichigo echoes)
Portraying (Ichigo echoes)
Why can't I ever find anything!
Ichigo and Ryou: Searching inside my heart
Seaching inside my soul
And all I ever find is dust in the wind
Nothing within my heart
Nothing within my soul
I have confirmed that there is emptiness within
Emptiness within
Emptiness within
Ryou: But will this ever stop me?
Will someone ever save me?
Will my reality stop twisting and turning?
Will I see the light?
Will I put up a fight?
To gain control again? (The word "again" echoes 3 times)
Ichigo: I feel such loneliness
I feel empty inside
I feel this is the end
I feel there nowhere left to……
Hide (The word "hide" holds for eight counts)
Ichigo and Ryou: Searching inside my heart
Seaching inside my soul
And all I ever find is dust in the wind
Nothing within my heart
Nothing within my soul
I have confirmed that there is emptiness within
Emptiness within
Emptiness within
Ichigo: Yes emptiness within
The crowd cheered wildly as they finished the song, Ryou went back up to the mic., and issued Ichigo forward. "As you guys know, we've gotten ourselves a female vocalist, who has done an excellent job, even though this is only her second concert. And we've come up with a whole new song that she sings by herself. Here is Meo with our newest song, Never Good Enough For You."
Song Title: Never Good Enough For You
(Ichigo starts by whispering) I'm sorry I let you down. But I tried so hard. And I fought the battle fiercely. But it still wasn't enough for you. (End whispering)
Verse 1
You……..were my everything
Meant so much to me
But I still have let you down
Don't…..be so hard, you see
It's not right for me
To blame this all on myself
Bridge
Why
Can't you face the truth?
And I
Am getting over you
Verse 2
I let you down
But why should I feel guilt
After all, it's not me
You just needed to see
Bridge
Why
Can't you face the truth?
And I
Am getting over you
(Whisper: You can't accept me)
Chorus
I just was never good enough for you
Yeah still never good enough for you
I tried my hardest
And did my best
But I still wasn't good enough for you
Yeah I still wasn't good enough for you
(Echoes "Still never good enough for you")
Still never good enough for you
Ichigo paused, as she was supposed to in the song. Waiting for her cue, she took the content of her song to heart, thinking of her parents, who had pushed her so far, that she had run away in the first place. Before singing, she whispered, "Mom….dad…..this song is for you."
Bridge
Why
Can't you face the truth?
And I
Am getting over you
(Whisper: You can't accept me)
Chorus
I just was never good enough for you
Yeah still never good enough for you
I tried my hardest
And did my best
But I still wasn't good enough for you
Yeah I still wasn't good enough for you
(Echoes "Still never good enough for you")
Still never good enough for you
Yeah still never good enough for you
(Echoes "Still never good enough for you")
Still never good enough for you
Never good enough for you
The crowd cheered as she smiled her biggest smile since being in this band. This song was written just for her, describing her feelings toward her mother and father. "And if I'm lucky….I can keep singing songs like this."
This chapter is mostly songs, yeah. But my friend wanted me to send her the songs. Remember, it might be awhile before I write again. But anyway, read and review, over and out. -Nibzo
