Thanks Mikazuki Mitsukai for reviewing, even though i just put this on, haha.

Oh and just in case i don't right it in the next couple of chapters, Hitsugaya had really bad bronchitis. If you ignore it and over stress yourself when you have it, you can actually tear up your throat from coughing so much, and cause it to bleed, aka what happened to Hitsugaya. He fainted because he was over stressed from singing, composing, practicing, and being sick. Just in case you were wondering :D

Disclaimer: Like hell i own bleach! Of course i don't, haha

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...

The lead singer had ebony hair that was held back exept for a stray strand of hair that fell across her face. Her name was Rukia, a 17 year old, who sang for the band The Midnight Butterflies.

I was left to cry there, waiting outside there
Grinnin' with a lost stare,
That's when I decided...

Glancing to the side for a split second-Rukia made eye contact with her backup singer/keyboardist, Orihime. The Ginger gave her a grin and then the both sang out the chorus together.

Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone...
You, you need to listen!
I'm startin' to trip,
I'm losin' my grip
And I'm in this thing alone...

*sigh* such an emo song. But it was a song Rukia had drawn and created from her past. She was not only the leads inger for the band, but she also composed and wrote the msic for all the songs the band did. But this song brought back her past and used to make her want to curl up into a ball and hide. Stupid Kaien*.

Am I just some chick you placed beside you,
To take somebody's place?
When you turn around can you recognize my face..?
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case,
Everything wasn't okay..

He had used her so that his fangirls would not bother him. She had liked him for a while and he knew it, and he also knew she wouldn't get to pushy with him. So he had picked her. She thought it was a miracle, but he never really liked her-but when he did find someone he liked, he dated her secretly until Rukia found out when she walked in on them, mid-makeout session.

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinnin' with a lost stare,
thats when i decided...

Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared,
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm startin' to trip
I'm losin' my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Rukia felt a a burning stare into her back, and she snapped out of her 'flashback'. Shooting a quick look behind her she was met with the gaze of the beautiful, busty strawberry blonde guitarists' sky blue eyes. Matsumoto. One of her close friends, who she had met through HInamori, her other friend. Hinamori was currently stumming the bass nervously and glancing around, but she clamed down when she met eyes with rukia. Smirking slightly, Rukia once again resumed looking forward and singing out her lines. She had always been told that her eyes were calming.

Cryin' out loud
I'm cryin' out loud
Cryin' out loud
I'm cryin' out loud

Open your eyes
Open up wide

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

The drummer gave an extra drum beat and then pause, and then resumed, playing right back into the chorus. She was Tatsuki, the tomboy, who had met Ruia the same day that Rukia had met Orihime. And since then, they had been pretty good friends.

Why should I care
'Cause 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
We're not going anywhere

Why should I care?
'Cause 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
We're not goin anywhere


Grinning Orihime made her way over to Rukia after the show. "Wow you were amazing again tonight Rukia! I'm glad I'm only the backup or else I would ruin the song."

Rukia turned and giggled. "Stop lying-you're an awesome singer. It's just you're the only one that can play the keyboard in the group and besides singing and composing, I'm useless."

Offering each other compliments and who was better the duo made themselves over to the rest of the group, and were soon joined by there manager. Tall and dark skinned, their manager, Yoruichi was beautiful. She was playful, smart, and not too serious but was someone you had to listen to when she was.

When she saw Rukia and Orihime she waited until they came over before she began. "So you guys, I need to tell Rukia something, but I also think all of you should hear it. So my friend Urahara is a manager from another band. He was here tonight and confirmed with me what he needed. And don't worry it's not permanent."

Sighing, Hinamori gave Yoruichi a warm smile. "So what is it? What's so important that you had to wait for everyone to be here? Come on share it with the class"

Her friends giggled and they all turned their gaze back to their manager, with smiles on their faces.

Shaking her head, Yoruichi sighed and gave a slight grin. "The lead singer in the band 'The Death Gods' injured his throat when he played when he was sick. Until it is healed they're going to get their guitarist to sing for them instead. But when Urahara felt that until the singer is better, maybe they should try to get some new spice to the band. So he felt Rukia could have a good enough voice."

Rukia heard gasps from her friends and felt stares from the other band members boring into her, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from Yoruichi.

"Of course, that doesn't mean that she got the position. Urahara also looked at some other female singers and is holding a last audition in two days. There will probably be around 15 other girls audition. So are you in?

Rukia gulped and glanced at her members. She had been expecting angry or even sad looks but instead was met with excited and happy expressions.

"That's SO awesome 'Kia! I'm so happy for you! You'll be in, like, 2 bands at once! And if there are any cute guys in the other band we could so totally hook up!!" Matsumoto screeched at her friend.

"Oh my God! You could go to so many different places! And we'll still be able to make music together, which is, like, perfect!" Orihime gushed and then gave Rukia a giant hug, which almost suffocated the poor girl.

Tatsuki gave her a grin and thumbs up, while Hinamori, who was at a loss for words, was laughing and jumping up and down. Yoruichi just gave her a chestire cat grin.

"So kiddo-whatcha going to do? Of course you would only play for them sometimes, go to rehearse with them on random days, but overall you're not staying with them forever. That is, IF you pass the audition."

Looking nervous, Rukia coughed slightly and asked, "So what's the audition?"

"I'm glad you asked. You have to pick out a song that has both you and a male lead singing in it, and it doesn't matter if there is a third person in it either. When you've picked one out, you give it to them. And then 2 days later you sing the cong with someone doing the male lead. Oh, the practice lead won't be the guitarist! HA! The fan girls would sneak in and probably kidnap him if he sang with everyone who's auditioning. That's why their back up lead, Paul is doing it instead. He only sings in a few of their songs, mostly the unknown songs. But he does sing with the 'Injured Lead' in one of their most popular hits. I don't know if you've heard "Let it Rock" playing on the radio, but he sings the second lead in that song."

Hinamori stared at Yoruichi. "THEY DO THAT SONG?! RUKIA IS GOING TO BE SINGING WITH THEM?! OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!!!!!!" She then began to run around in little circles until Matsumoto grabbed her and held her down while Yoruichi continued.

"…Okayyy then-So Rukia what do you say? Do you at least want to audition? You've got nothing to lose, except a chance in a life time, haha."

"Okay, I'll try. I think I know what song I'll do too. And it's one of my good luck songs too," Rukia said grinning. Laughing, the group crowded around her so that they could continue to offer their congratulations to her and hear the song she was going to sing. While they were doing so, Yoruichi slipped away to tell her friend the good news.


*Sorry!!! Kaien fans! i needed a villain and someone that Rukia liked, and the only person i could think of was Kaien. :( sorry...i know Kaien was awesome and funny, and so was his wife, but i need SOMEBODY to be a bit more OCC then the rest of the characters..

Also i don't usually put this much writing inbetween lyrics, sorry. I just needed to introduce people and show a bit of Rukia's backround

Because i'm so nice, i won't leave it at much of a cliffy for this chapter. Oh, and the only reason why this chapter came so fast was cus i had already written it when i put the first chapter on FanFiction. Just like before, any spelling errors, please tell me so i can correct them, and Reviews would be nice :D All flames go to burning my OCC Kaien up. Don't worry the real Kaien won't be hurt, haha
