Myouga is Kagome's grandpa's size, for the convenience of this fanfic. I repeat, Myouga is NOT a tiny flea demon; he is a Jii-san sized flea demon!

The Small House of Uncle Thomas

Eliza - Kaede Starr

Simon of Legree- Hakkaku Helix

George - Ginta Helix

Angel - Sakura Helix

Little Topsey - Abi Kishitahashi

Little Eva - Rin Takahashi

Uncle Thomas - Myouga Flea

Dogs - Akage Tama and Jaken Sato

Sakura squealed with excitement as she went to her first dance lesson with Origumo. Everyone in the Small House of Uncle Thomas dance were required to have a dance class with Origumo.

Kisa brought Sakura to dance class, Yoshi to Rin's room to go over his lines with her, and Kisa went to her voice lessons with Miss Kaguya Hagoromo.

Kisa entered the music room and saw InuYasha, Kaguya, and Sesshoumaru all there.

Kisa quietly walked over to the group and listened to InuYasha fight with Kaguya.

Kaguya turned quickly to Kisa.

"Good, now that everyone is here we can start."

Kaguya led the trio through a light warm-up.

"I want to hear what I have to work with so I want each of you to choose a song you know, a longer one preferably, and sing it when I tell you to. Since Sesshoumaru is the bigger character he will go first.

Will you need an accompaniment Sesshoumaru?"

"No, is American Idiot a good choice?"

Kaguya nodded her head so Sesshoumaru began to sing much to Kisa's shock. She thought that Sesshoumaru would choose a boring classic.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Kaguya smiled at the sound of his voice. "Nice voice, I think I can help you tweak it a bit but not bad at all. InuYasha, you're next."

InuYasha smirked.

"Holiday."

Say, Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)
(Say, Hey!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

Kaguya was grinning, "InuYasha you never cease to amaze me! Now Kisa, Will you stay on the Green Day streak or choose something else."

Kisa thought for a second a grinned.

"How about… Boulevard of Broken Dreams? Why break suit?"

Kaguya nodded slowly with a questioning expression.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Kaguya listened wide-eyed and grinned at the end, "Well I never heard Boulevard of Broken Dreams sung by a woman, but you did great. I obviously have the talented group right here."

Kisa smiled sheepishly and blushed.

"Here is your sheet music, I heard all of you can sight read so go over it quickly and we will go over all of the songs with you all in it. I might tell you special instructions for a certain song, and since InuYasha has to leave soon we will start with the song 'We Kiss in a Shadow' with the accompaniment. I want you two to project as loud as you can. I know you can project Kisa so I want to hear it."

Kaguya sat behind her piano and began playing; InuYasha kept his eyes on the sheet music and Kisa did the same. Sesshoumaru merely sat down and listened.

InuYasha began and Kisa listened to his voice which projected perfectly in the large room.

We kiss in a shadow,
We hide from the moon,
Our meetings are few,
And over too soon.

We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,
We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"

Kisa began her small part and projected quietly for the part was piano (piano means to play or sing softly)

We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,

InuYasha quickly jumped in.

We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free

Kisa joined InuYasha and Kaguya loved the way their voices harmonized.

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"

InuYasha dropped out and Kisa sang the last part alone.

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"

Kaguya stopped playing and began to write on her sheet music.

"That was okay, but it had some major flaws. We will work on that though next time I see you two. Next is the last of InuYasha's songs, 'I Have Dreamed.'"

InuYasha began as the music filled the room.

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you,
I will love being loved by you.

Kisa heard her cue and began.

Alone and awake I've looked at the stars,
The same that smile on you;
And time and again I've thought all the things
That you were thinking too.

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know.

InuYasha joined Kisa's voice and once again Kaguya was thrilled at how well the voices harmonized.

What it's like to be loved by you.
I will love being loved by you.

InuYasha, you're free to go, and remember to take your sheet music with you. I believe next to leave is Kisa, so Sesshoumaru do you mind listening to five of her songs before we begin on yours?"

Sesshoumaru nodded as he went over his sheet music. He could tell she could sing, but the duets were only the beginning.

"Why don't we start on 'My Lord and Master.'"

Kaguya began to play as Kisa's voice spang out in the soundproofed room. As Kisa began Sesshoumaru listened. Kisa began to speak her lines.

The King is pleased!
He is pleased with me!
My Lord and Master
Declares he's pleased with me-

Kisa began to sing and her voice commanded attention.

What does he mean?
What does he know of me
This lord and master?
When he has looked at me what has he seen?
Something young
Soft and slim,
Painted cheek,
Tap'ring limb,
Smiling lips
All for him,
Eyes that shine
Just for him-
So he thinks...

Just for him!
Though the man may be
My Lord and Master,
Though he may study me
As hard as he can,
The smile beneath my smile
He'll never see
He'll never know I love another man
He'll never know, I love another man.

When Kisa finished she took a few deep breathes.

"Okay, we have some work to do with that song, but only one huge thing: breath control, but that can easily be fixed. Next is 'School Song' and that is sung acapella. As you can see, there are several voice parts for this. Choose the one you want and go from there, I'll give you your first note."

Kisa got her breath under control and smiled lightly.

"Soprano one please."

"Going high are we?" Kaguya hit the note anyway and listened as Kisa sang acapella.

We work and work
From week to week
At the Royal Bangkok Academy
And English words are all we speak
At the Royal Bangkok...

Kisa paused as the music instructed and then continued.

We work and work
From week to week
At the Royal Bangkok Academy
And English words
Are all we speak
At the Royal Bangkok Academy
If we pay attention to our teacher
And obey her every rule,
We'll be grateful for
Those golden years
At our dear old school.
The Royal Bangkok Academy,
Our dear old school.

Kaguya smiled widely, Kisa had hit the high notes with ease and that pleased Kaguya to no end. Not many people could sing that high in the cast and Kaguya was glad that Kisa could sing loud enough to make up for that.

"Next, I want you to sing the part right after Anna's when everyone sings at the end of 'Getting to Know You'. After that I'd appreciate it if you'd stay and sing in Anna's place for Sesshoumaru."

"Sure."

Kisa began strait away.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

Getting to know you,

Things I'm learning about you
Day .. by ... day.

"Perfect. Now Sesshoumaru, I though we could start with..."

Kagome interrupted Kaguya by running through the doors of the room.

"Sorry to interrupt Kaguya but we have a huge problem."

"What's wrong?" Kaguya looked at Kagome with concern.

"Sango can't perform anymore. I don't have time to hold auditions so would anyone in the cast be able to do the part? Please Kaguya, this is urgent!"

Kisa couldn't help but have concern for her new friend, "Is Sango alright?"

"Yes, but she can't play Anna, it's a long story and I'm sure she'll tell you."

Kaguya sifted through the Anna's vocal range and decided on one person.

"What about Kisa? She has the range and I know she knows most of the songs by heart anyways."

Kisa's eyes flew open wide and Kagome grinned.

"That would work! Kisa would you consider taking the role of Anna? I would pay you extra, like you were two people."

Kisa only nodded her head is shock. "How would that work though?"

"Easily, its a computer thing, all you need to do is come up with a great British and Thai accent. Good, come by my office later today and I will give you your new schedule and a second script so you don't confuse the characters."

Kagome rushed out of the room in a frenzy.

"Congratulations Kisa, your the only one in the canst to hold two main parts!"

Kaguya looked at the clock wide eyed.

"Kisa, you're free to go, you're late to your next appointment."

Kisa nodded and left the room heading strait for Origumo's dance class where Sakura and Yoshi were waiting for her.

Kisa brought Yoshi and Sakura to the room to study their lines more and told them to stay put.

Kisa left the room and found her way to the Lee's room. Knocking on the door, Kisa bit her lip. All she knew was Sango couldn't perform so of course she was expecting the worst.
