I Wanna Sing Chapter 9, a fruits basket fanfic

A/N: This is Mimi-chan here! I'd just like to say that we don't own Market Basket... I mean Fruits Basket. Hope you enjoy this chapter!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Shigure flipped through many songs before he stopped and chose one he believed to be the most fun. Akito was having fun right? So he surely should have a fun song! Yes! Sunshine for the sunshine king, right? So for the second time while Akito was on stage, the lights dimmed and a jumpy oldies song started to play.

"Ow! Heeeeeeeeeeeee-yeah!" Akito yelped out, his head bobbing to the music.

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure.

All the Juunishi twitched.

And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door

Akito was now bouncing his legs along with the rhythm.

Now every time I go to the mailbox, gotta hold myself down

'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around

Akito pointed out towards the crowd basically to the zodiac members, his arm bouncing with the music still.

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

Akito started walking around the stage in a half skipping manner.

I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

The crowd was going crazy and waving back and forth.

And don't it feel good!

Hey Alright now!

And don't it feel good!

Hey yeah.

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true

Ayame stuck two fingers in his mouth and sent a shrill whistle directed at Akito to prove the line he just sang. Hatori walked over to Ayame and stuck a band-aid on his mouth, but got disappointed when it kept falling off because of Ayame's lip gloss. (a/n: omg... don't shoot me!)

But I just can't spend my whole life just-a waiting for you

The rest of the crowd started clapping with the beat, tapping their feet, and dancing in their seats. Even Kyo, who couldn't resist the unresistable beat of the music.

I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day

'Cause baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

And don't it feel good!

HeyYes! Alright now!

And don't it feel good!

Walking on sunshine

I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real

I'm on sunshine baby, Oh! oh yeah!

I'm on sunshine baby Oh!

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

Akito started to skip-walking across the stage again.

I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!

And don't it feel good!

Hey Alright now!

And don't it feel good!

I'll say it again now!

And don't it feel good!

I'll say -say -say it again now!

And don't it - don't it - don't it- don't it feel good!

And don't it feel good!

Oh yeah, Oh yeah! Oh yeah...

Akito's voice faded with the music and the lights came back on with a loud, fresh round of applause. It didn't die down until about ten whole minutes later, in the meanwhile... Akito went around giving autographs he'd brought with him. Who would've guessed that Akito would be the star of tonight's karaoke? Well apparently him since he was prepared with autographs, but that's not the point.

The Juunishi decided to bare with him for the night, and went over to congratulate him on his two performances. Kisa even got his autograph... even if it was forced into her hands. Ritsu took Akito's hands and started pulling him into a 'ring-around-the-rosies' dance. Then he accidently let go and Akito flew backwards into a table, hitting his skull rather loudly. (a/n: xD sorry... I couldn't resist...) Hatori ran over to him and starting dumping a container of band-aid wrappers on Akito's head because he'd just used the rest of them on Ayame's mouth.

All of a sudden, Hanajima's hair went up like an antenna and pointing in the direction of the glass doors where they all came in at.

"A horse," she said with her mysterious goth voice, looking over to the direction her hair was pointing. "Over there."

Everyone looked over to the doors to see Isuzu Sohma leaning against the frame of the doors and wheezing really bad. She must have ran the whole way there for some reason. Haru walked over to her with his usual blank stare and poked her arm. Isuzu glared at him with a passion.

"Rin!" Haru exclaimed out of nowhere, pulling her into a huge cow hug... I mean, bear hug. "Did you come to see me?"

She pulled away from him harshly and glared so more.

"No. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever-" Rin twitched as Haru cupped her cheek with his hand in the middle of her sentence. "Ha- Haru? Wha- what are you doing?"

"I wanted to ask you this for a very long time, but you were never there..." Haru said in a dreamy voice, very overly dramatic, but it made Rin's insides turn to jelly. "Will you do karaoke with me up on the stage?"

"What?" Rin said, her face falling faster than brick in air.

"Would- You," Haru said slowly, pointing at her when he got to 'you'. "Do- Karaoke- With- Me," He pointed at himself then. "Up- On- The- Stage?" He pointed over to where the stage was.

A huge anger mark appeared on Rin's forehead and she scowled at him again.

"Why the hell would I sing a stupid song on some stupid stage with some stupid person?" Rin shouted in Haru's face making his hair blow back from the explosion.

"Cause it's fun?" Haru asked, trying to answer her question.

"Argh!" Rin started pulling out some of her long, black, beautiful hair. "No! I won't go sing with you! It's stupid!"

Suddenly she felt someone tugging on her mini skirt, so she looked down and found a pair of round, innocent, yellow-orange eyes staring up at her. Okay... well the eyes were innocent... even if the yankee outfit Kisa was still wearing wasn't exactly the definition of 'innocent'.

"Isuzu, onee-chan," Kisa said in her adorably cute, soft voice. "I would like to see you sing..."

That did it. Rin's heart skipped a beat, and she hugged Kisa suddenly.

"Okay! I'll do it for you, Kisa!" Rin exclaimed before completely thinking about what she was saying. Kisa was just too cute!

Haru grabbed her hand then, and pulled her throught he crowd and up onto the stage. Kisa went over to the song selections and clicked the song she wanted. A cool upbeat, techno tune started as the lights went completely black and two small spots lights started moving all over the stage for effect. You could see Haru already swinging to the beat (he'd probably heard this song once when he was baby-sitting Kisa). Rin was completely shocked from how quickly she got pulled up on stage and how quickly she was going to be forced to sing. She was so nervous! Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes for a quick concentration, she snapped her eyes open right as she was her part.

(a/n: IMPORTANT!Plain italics are Rin's part... bold italics are Haru's part! Underlined italics are both of them singing.)

We are what we're supposed to be

Illusions of your fantasy

The star lighting appeared on stage making a thousand stars appear to be on stage, and creating a beautiful scene in with the twin spotlights that were already there.

All dots and lines that speak and say

Rin did a few twirls with Haru making her long black hair spin around majestically.

What we do is what you wish to do

We are the color symphony

About twenty rainbow colored laser lights started shining through the dark, moving in all directions as the main spotlights turned off. Haru and Rin were still doing their dance and sing routine making the stage a beautiful perfomance.

We do the things you want to see

Frame by frame, to the extreme

Haru held Rin as she arched her back really far and let her head barely graze the stage floor with her hair in a beautiful muss around her. He pulled her up again as she began her next part.

Our friends are so unreasonable

They do the unpredictable

Everyone looked at Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori through the darkness. Shigure looked back at them with an innocent face.

"What?"

All dots and lines that speak and say

What we do is what you wish to do

It's all an orchestra of strings

Doing unbelievable things

Haru pretended he was controlling Rin with imaginary puppet strings as she danced solo and gracefully across the vast stage. She ended it with a long twirl into his arms and he 'released' his imaginary strings. (a/n: on sheezyart dot com there's this flash for Cartoon Heroes with the Naruto akatsuki members... they use something like this in it, so please... I only half own this scene with the puppet strings, so don't sue me...)

Frame by frame, to the extreme

One by one we're making it fun

We are the cartoon heroes, oh

Haru pulled out three capes from out of nowhere. He draped one across Rin's shoulders and put his own on side ways. Hatori jumped on stage, still in his mini skirt, and stole the last cape from Haru. He put it on and jumped off the stage again.

We are the ones who are gonna last forever

We came out of a crazy mind, oh

And walked out on a piece of paper and...

Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian

A motion picture of Spiderman doing stunts played on the white wall behind them.

Welcome to the toon town party

Here comes Superman, from never neverland

Superman came flying into the scene with Spiderman and used his ice breath to turn him into a large spider-icicle.

Welcome to the toon town party

There's still more to come

Various other heroes like Wonder Woman, the Flash, and the Green Lantern flew, jumped, and ran into the scene with Superman.

And everyone will be

Welcomed at the toon (toon) town (town)

paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarty!

By the time it ended, almost every lighting effect was on and the fog effect was coming up from the floor. A bunch of fireworks exploded in the background while Rin and Haru both stood in Sailor Moon poses. It was so amazing that people were too shocked to clap right then. Finally everything ended, the fireworks died away, and the lighting effects faded so that the pitch black remained like the begining of the performance. The people started clapping in the dark, expecting the lights to come back on immediately afterwards. Only... they didn't. Everyone was stuck in the dark because Rin and Haru's performance used up too much electricity.

A/N: Woot! I got done with this the same day Nemo-chan finished her chapter! Now she'll be mad because she has to write her next chapter already! xD Mission accomplished! coughcough Um, anyway... we don't own Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, or (DDR) Cartoon Heroes by Aqua/Barbie Young. Or Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, the Green Lantern, or Sailor Moon. xD

Ritsu: Excuse me... Mimi-sama? Why are you putting your disclaimer down here instead of up at the top like you usually do? You always put it up there!

Mimi: Yeah... well you see, if I put it up there, you would have found out more than half the stuff that would've been happening in this chapter already. I'd rather keep what song's going to be in it secret until you read it. Okay?

Ritsu: Oh... oh, I must apologise because you didn't warn anyone were going to do this! I MUST APOLOGISE TO THE WORLD! You are such a selfish person! How can anyone stand you! What have you done!

Mimi: Apparently I just set off the Ritsu bomb again... I must apologise. He must be very troublesome to read.

Love from Mimi-chan...Peace.
