Well took my story off, and now I need to repost it, and I have rewritten the story so it should not hold any objective material. I'm kind of happy that now I get to rewrite my second chapter…but I liked the first. The rewritten chapters are well what I decided to write instead of what was in the original story. And yes the song belongs to Kelly Clarkson.
Her Hazel Eyes
Chapter 1:
Hazel Eyes
Kagome smiled at Sango, they were riding with Rin and Miroku and had just played Project Grad, the school had asked them to play for the seniors who would be graduating that year during Project Grad. (I have that were I live, it's a party like thing to prevent the seniors from getting wasted and driving under the influence…its actually pretty cool.) They had laughed when they saw their entire underclassmen graduate, since they had graduated two years ago. They had finished up around eleven when they packed their things up and started the drive to their friends where they would play more songs. It was a great night for them, they loved this time of year, all the seniors wanted to impress their friends and had them play. Needless to say, this band reaped the benefits of this time of party.
Laughing at Rin, who currently was fighting with her chopsticks for hair dominance, Sango turned to the radio and changed the station, stopping when she heard the local news. It was the traffic report and they had to be at the party by 12, and they had a long drive before them, however they didn't mind. They were having fun, Kagome, Rin and Sango were redoing makeup and debating over what they wanted to wear. Miroku was laughing at them.
"Kag, Rin, Sango, I think your audience would prefer if you wore nothing at all. Than see you in clothing. Not that I would object." Sango awarded his statement with the yell of pervert and a smack on the head. Laughing at Miroku, Kagome decided to change into her black silky pants, they were her favorite and she loved dancing on the stage with them. That was one of the things she was known for, dancing while she sang. After she finished settling in her new pants, Miroku calmly informed them of two police cars next to them, and the three girls calmly put their seatbelts on and pulled out music sheets.
"So, what do we want to play? Not the same thing we did for Project Grad. That would be to repetitive I think." Rin said.
"That is very true." Kagome said Sango nodded her head. " Why don't we play songs we haven't played for awhile." She suggested.
"Good idea. Why don't we play the Dark Room files?" Miroku suggested. They weren't able to afford recording CD's and instead they had created files and titled them, in hopes for renting a studio and making these files into actual CD's.
"That one is kind of slow, what about Roses and Smiles." Sango suggested.
"Too cheery." Rin said.
"Why don't we just choose some songs from each? Although I would prefer to play the dark files personally." Kagome said.
"That is a good idea." Everyone had finally agreed as they backed into their friends driveway to setup for their show.
"Hey everyone! I hope we didn't miss much." Kagome said into her mike. They had just finished set up and were getting ready to play. Smiling at them, she looked around, and remembered when she was here for her graduation. Their friend, Jake, held a party for the classes who had a good track record with the police and few car crashes. More than five in four years and the class wouldn't have a party, if one crash resulted in a death there was no chance for a party, however, at this party Jake broke all the rules, and all the graduates loved it. Pushing her party out of her head, Kagome looked at Sango. Nodding her head they started to gently strum a song they hadn't played for a while. "Well, you guys were sophomores when I graduated, wow, its been awhile hasn't it? Well enough with the past. You just graduated! Here's a song for you all!" the guitars stopped strumming and a song began. Kagome was in her element, and started to dance before she started to sing.
They had finished playing and it was now after 2. Smiling at their success, Kagome and Rin walked around, laughing and smiling when a new graduate would try to flirt with them. "Sorry Gents, I hate to inform some of you, especially you and you, but I am taken." Kagome said. She was a people person, there was no doubt with this, and she could woo a crowd before she even reached for her guitar.
Walking around, Kagome started to look for Inuyasha, her boyfriend for the past four years. Wondering where he was, she went upstairs. Jake knowing how lustful some teens were had put plastic over his beds and anything that could be used for a surface for lustful teens, he didn't want to clean bed-sheets that had been dirtied by these teens. Walking down one hall, she poked her head in several rooms, not seeing Inuyasha. Finally she found him, although when she did, she wasn't too sure she wanted to find him anymore. He was in the back bedroom with her twin sister Kikyou.
"Tell my Inuyasha, who do you prefer? My disgraceful twin, with no future, or me?" Kikyou asked.
"Who do you think?" he asked, unbuttoning her shirt, and kissing her newly exposed skin.
"Me."
"Your sister is nothing to me, nothing but a fake who wants to look like you." He said. Kagome was outraged by his statement, and walked into their room. Startling both of them.
"So I'm a fake Inuyasha? A fake? This from the flake who can't even tell what a condom is." She said. "I don't have to say this, you already know, but we're over you sick fuck." She said. Walking out of the room and slamming the door, however she started to run down the stairs when she ran into Rin, and told Rin they needed to leave. Nodding, Rin didn't ask any questions, they found Sango and Miroku and they left.
"Kagome what happened?" Sango asked. They were now alone in the apartment the three women shared.
"I….I walked in on Inuyasha…and…and…Kikyou." She said.
"WHAT?" the two shrieked.
"He was calling me a fake and a wanna be of my sister." Kagome sobbed.
"I can't believe him! The nerve of that ass!" Rin said.
"I'm just going to go to bed. I'll see you in the morning." Kagome said. Getting up, she walked into her room where she sat at her small desk and started to write. She loved poetry; it was the beginning of a song.
Three years later
The musical foursome, walked into their dream come true, their own studio. They had stars in their eyes and couldn't stop smiling to themselves. They quickly walked in and out of the studio, loading and setting, when they finished loading, Kagome went to work arranging things around the sound booth. When she finished, she looked over to her band mates. "Well, what song do we record first?" she asked.
"Why not that one you wrote after you and Inuyasha broke up?" Rin suggested. Kagome looked over at Rin.
"How do you know about that song?" she asked.
"I heard you strumming it everyday for a month. Well, why don't you give the sheets to everyone and we'll play that." Rin finished. Before Kagome got a chance to back out, Rin had gone to get the papers. "It's actually a really good song, but the main focus is on the guitar." Rin said, looking at Kagome and Sango.
"Alright, hey why don't we play this and if it's good then we'll play it tonight at the Blue Light." Sango said, plugging her Bass in. Miroku walked over to his drums and Rin to her keyboard.
They ran through the song several times before they had the song right, when they did, they decided to play the song, much to Kagome's disappointment. She wasn't too keen on singing this song, it may have been three years ago but what happened with Inuyasha had scarred her. She hadn't dated since. Shaking her head, they got down to recording their songs and putting them on CD. However when they had finished recording the first song, which happened to be Kagome's song, they realized they didn't have any CD's. Shaking her Kagome walked out and down the street to buy several CD stacks and jewel cases. As she entered the store, she found her friend Kouga, along with a long silver haired companion, walking away before they could see her, she quickly found what she needed and got in line to pay. As she waited she heard Kouga and friend get in line behind her. Tapping her shoulder, Kagome quickly decided to pretend she didn't know him.
"Kagome? What's up?" he asked. Turning around, Kagome inwardly groaned, she didn't want to talk to him and what looked like Inuyasha she wasn't in the mood.
" Hey Kouga, what are you up to?" she asked, looking straight at him.
"Not much, oh hey you going to Blue Light tonight?" He replied.
"Didn't you read the fliers outside? I'm playing." She said.
"Really. Oh hey this is my old high school friend, Sesshomaru. I'm trying to change his mind about musicians. He hates them." he whispered the last part in Kagome's ear.
"Oh. Hello Sesshomaru. How are you?" she asked, bowing.
"This Sesshomaru is well. It is best you keep your attention on the line, you are holding it up." He replied. Turning, Kagome paid and left. When she returned she walked to the CD burner and put the CD's in the allotted space. Smiling to themselves the recorded three CD's before the stopped to pack up for the concert. When the got there, they looked around the building and sat at the bar, getting a drink before their show, their equipment being set up by some employee's. They sat and talked for several minutes before walking up to the stage and setting their water and other small items to the stare with them. Once the guitars were tuned and the drums and keyboard set, Kagome talked up to her mike.
"So, is everyone ready for the show tonight?" she asked. Her question was responded to by thunderous applause and yells. "Hey, Miroku, do you really think they're ready, I mean my dead grandma yelled louder." She asked, her eyes twinkling.
"You know Kagome, I really don't believe they want us here, I've heard better crowds." Miroku agreed.
"Well guys, do you really want us here?" Kagome asked, screams filled the air and applause was deafening.
"I think they do." Sango said.
"Well then let's not disappoint them." Rin replied. Smiling to themselves they started to play.
In the back of the crowd there were several booths, however two men filled one of these booths. Both of whom were listening to band, one contemplating the style of the new song, the other contemplating the band with intrigue, having never heard them before this day. "Well Sesshomaru what do you think?" The other male asked.
"They interest this Sesshomaru, however I am not impressed. I have heard better, but this band is good." He replied.
"Kagome's band is the best in the area. That is second to mine." The other commented.
"Kouga, her band exceeds yours. Her music has more depth, more complexities and more feeling." Sesshomaru retorted.
"I know, supposedly they're playing a new song that Kagome wrote a couple years ago, I haven't heard it, but Miroku, the drummer, told me it was by far one of her best pieces."
"She writes her own music?"
"She's not a cover band if that's what you mean." Kouga defended.
"Cover band?" Sesshomaru asked.
"A band that only performs songs written by other bands. They don't write their own songs." Kouga clarified. He stopped as Kagome stepped up to the mike and began speaking.
"Well everyone, I hope you like our songs tonight, the guy in the corner is selling our CD's we finally got the stuff to record it…" her voice died out as the crowd cheered. " This is our newest song, I hope that you all like it, I wrote this one, well with no more further ado, 'Behind These Hazel Eyes.'" Kagome stepped back and the beginning chords of the song started to flow forth from the instruments. Sesshomaru sat up straighter hearing the song.
"Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on"
"This is the song you were telling me of?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes." Kouga answered him, his attention on the new song.
"Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on"
Sesshomaru listened to this song. It wasn't like other songs he'd heard this one was written to describe her pain, it was her story, he believed. She was slowly earning his respect as a musician.
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Sesshomaru stood at the end of her song, and slowly made his way to the booth selling her CD's. He liked their music.
Kagome sat in the van, happy to have finished the concert and sell out on their merchandise it was wonderful, and they couldn't have been happier. Smiling to herself, Kagome walked into the apartment she shared with Sango and Rin, however since she was so exhausted, Kagome walked into her room and got into her bed and fell asleep.
