Rin checked her email one more time. More fans send her emails of admiration, even a few marriage proposals. She relied to a few of them and went to the mirror to finish the final touchups on her makeup before Kikyo got on her case.


Up in the technical booth, Sesshomaru got the last few things set up. Inutashio watched in amusement.

"You weren't this ready even before Namie left our company and joined avex." Inutashio commented.

"That's none of your business." Sesshomaru said, looking out towards the Washington Monument.

Inutashio had a look on his face that said 'sure… whatever you say…'


"RIN- CHAN!!!" a red head cried out. Rin almost ruined her eyeliner.

"What is it Ayame- Chan?" Rin asked.

"I lost my mojo! I can't get this move right!" Ayame attempts a c- walk, but trips.

"Well, I can tell you that you're moving way too fast for one thing. And the beat to that song isn't even that fast either. Just slow down and you'll be fine."

"Oh. Thanks!" Ayame ran off to take her position.

"BoA… please report to the stage… BoA… please report to the stage…" the intercom said.

Rin checked herself again. "It's show time…"


"BOA! BOA! BOA!" the audience continued to chant. Then the lights went out…

Then flashing lights went on and off. The crowd goes wild. Dancers were dancing around a huge column. Then a boom and smoke appeared. Then an angelic voice is heard. The fans went even crazier as BoA took the stage.


I can feel it truly in my heart
Cause you my heart know my destiny
That thing can't stand my love for you
So reaching your hand hard on to me
Shaking my heart you're my dreamy boy
You're the hand my fire burns
Baby kissing softly I need you
Oh stepping, stepping babe
When and a how we met each other
How did we get the feelings we have
Boy I fall in love with you
Remember the moment

Born to love you
Want to take you into paradise
Just fighting for love never stop my body
Take your hand and see heart and
You'll be in my arms
Keep a smile and I never let go
You are my dream ...

Tell me tell me what I mean to you
Let me keep you warm and dry
Do you do you miss me day and night
And nothing gonna hug you
Making make a love happy and
Don't be shy don't be so down
Baby let me show you how I feel
Oh stepping stepping babe
Trust me always be on your side
Calling you up and make you realize
Just I fall in love with you
You and me forever

Born to love you
Want to take you into paradise
Just finding my way holding tight your body
Turn your way now
What I can't give more than enough
Oh my love is the waiting for you
You are my dream


"How's it going Washington!?" Boa said into the mic. The fans shouted their replies.

"Sing along if you know the words!"



Why do you cry
Just look in my heart
Come with me
Let's make a new start
Boy I fall in love with you YEAH YEAH
Waiting here for you

Born to love you
Want to take you into paradise
Let's go there's no moon never sight my body
Don't give it up every moment

Please give me the will to go on
You are my dream

Born to love you
Want to take you into paradise
Just fighting for love never stop my body
Take your hand and see heart and
You'll be in my arms
Keep a smile and I never let go
You are my dream ...


Dramatic pause and the fans kept on cheering.

"No.1" BoA whispered into the secret headset that kept her in contact with the musicians.

A new beat played and the fans recognized the next song.


It's been so long since you were here with me
Since you left me I could have set you free
It's just a game well done myself again
And finally I'm ready to go fast you see

'Cause I did some good, and I did some bad,
I know what we had was true

You're still my NO. 1 the one I'm thinking of
The one I can rely
I guess you know that so different site I love this song
This all you said and done
You're still my NO. 1

The things I said I taken back you know
Its not the end 'Cause now I've taken my stand
And I miss you, and want you back in my life,
(want you back in my life, I want you back in my life)

'Cause I did some good, and I did some bad,
I know what we had was true

You're still my NO. 1 the one I'm thinking of
The one I can rely
I guess you know that so different site I love this song
This all you said and done
You're still my NO. 1

I remember the days how we used to laugh
How we used to dance to that song and after all this time I have no regret
You're still my no. 1 (Wooh)

Du, Du Du Du Du Du, Du Du Du Du Du, Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
Du Du Du Du Du, Du Du Du Du Du, DU Du-Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du


The same beat continued. BoA pointed her mic towards the fans, urging them to continue. The entire stadium was roaring the du du du part. After the second round of that, BoA continued.


You're still my NO. 1 the one I'm thinking of
The one I can rely
I guess you know that so different site I love this song
This all you said and done
You're still my NO. 1

You're still my NO. 1 the one I'm thinking of
The one I can rely
I guess you know that so different site I love this song
This all you said and done
You're still my NO. 1


Sesshomaru immediately put the band's sound off. The fans cheering would have droned it out enough, but it gave him something to do.


"Thank you guys so much!" BoA said. "I kind of have something special for all of you. It's a song I've been working on for a while. It's in Japanese though, but I translated it so English subtitles on the screens behind me." BoA continued, as she pointed to the special effect screens behind her.

"This really means a lot to me and I hope you enjoy it…"

The fans cheered lightly. The music started up again.


Whoa…whoa…whoa…… whoa…whoa…whoa…

Whoa…whoa…whoa

HEY DO YOU REMEMBER? Futari deatta

FOREVER JEWEL IN MY HEART
WOW WOW…


The fans cheered again. BoA bowed as soon as the song was finished. Then the music went up beat again.


Woe Baby what can you see in your eyes
Across an advanced wind yeah
What imagine at the sky?
What do you, do you want? Do you need?

Oh Baby when we're sad, we're bad
I phoned to you midnight call yeah
But I know it's never change
Yes, every loneliness is never die

(never say ever say never ever say)
Whenever time has gone We found the many things
(every night every night never ever say)
The heart is never end, never ever never end

Listen to my heart, looking for your dream
Happy shining place woe that you want
Baby are you free? Baby are you sad?
Do you wanna have me live with you?

Listen to my heart, Looking for your dream
Now we stand amid contrary wind
I believe you now You can work it out
Dreams come true

Woe Baby it's just the same after all
"It's no use crying over spilled milk"
This word is a commonplace
But now I say to, say to you

Oh Baby, I can't say "fall in love"
Because it is heavy heart for me
But I wanna gaze at you
Please gaze at me tonight, forever more

(never say ever say never ever say)
If we'll part if you'll say good-bye to me
(every night every night never ever say)
I'll never forget you never forget your eyes

Listen to my heart, looking for your dream
Maybe it's a long and winding road
Can I come across? Can I satisfy?
Can I have a kindly look and heart?

Listen to my heart, looking for your dream
There is a place where we can go
Wind is blowing so gentle like your smile
Dreams come true

(never say ever say never ever say)
Whenever time has gone We found the many things
(every night every night never ever say)
The heart is never end, never ever never end

Listen to my heart, looking for your dream
Happy shining place woe that you want
Baby are you free? Baby are you sad?
Do you wanna have me live with you?

Listen to my heart, Looking for your dream
Now we stand amid contrary wind I believe you now
You can work it out Dreams come true


The fans continued to cheer and the concert wore on…


Hikaru- San: Ok… I just thought you guys would like a better inner look about what a BoA concert was like. Rin's concerts are unique. She never does the same thing twice. Same songs of course, but in completely different order.

Songs in this chapter are…

Valenti (English version)

No. 1 (English version)

JEWEL SONG

Listen To My Heart (English version)

All of which, by BoA. The story's a whole lot more fun to read if you have these songs in your music library and listening to them as you read the chapters!

Please R&R. And I promise! More Rin and Sesshy Fluff next chapter!
