Rin breathed in and out. Getting ready for the show was just not the same without Sesshomaru. He always snuck backstage to tell her to break a leg before he went back up to get to work. She listened to the stadium music, prepping everyone up for the big show.
"Rin- chan…" Kikyo said from the door way. "We're ready when you are."
Rin got up.
This show isn't for me… it's for you Sesshomaru…
Kisa leaned towards the radio. She was still recovering from the operation on her throat. The tumors gone, but she still couldn't speak. Dr. Makasaki told her to give it some time. But the BoA concert was going to start any minute now, and she was excited. Her mother drifted off into a deep sleep a few hours ago.
The stadium lights went off… the fans started to cheer…. The music was beating loud… Then, after an amazing light display, BoA took the stage!

"She really is amazing, isn't she?" Kenji said, as he watched his daughter perform from the box seat, along with his mother (nana) and his wife.
"I knew you would eventually come around…" Nana muttered.
Sesshomaru stared out into the city. Rin's concert should be starting by now. Suddenly, a string of pain entered through him.
"Mr. Tashio?" a nurse nervously said, opening the door. When Sesshomaru didn't respond, she ran off to find the doctor.
Yabure ta JIINZU to sensai sugiru me wo
Mamotte agetakute kazoku ni wa ie nai
Daiji na mono kurai jibun de mamoreru yo
Soko wo tobi koete yo Oh, Step in Step in, Baby
Muimi natsu yogari mo katte nakuchibiru mo
Just, I fall in love with you
Zenbu uketotte
Kisa watched from the hallway. Nurses and Doctors were running around as if they were chickens with their heads cut off. She used some of her tiger strengths that she inherited from her father and listened for the reason for all the commotion.
'You haven't seen Midoriko anywhere!?'
'Nobody's seen Dr. Miko since the checkup on the turtle demons. She's probably in the rest area.'
'Hurry and get her! Mr. Tashio's condition is getting worse. We have to get the operation done now or else he's history!'
Kisa thought for a moment. BoA said that her music manager's name was Takahashi Sesshomaru. Kisa gasped. If he was going into operation now… then he would miss BoA's show…
I can't let him miss it… it would absolutely kill her if he doesn't listen to her sing! Kisa thought to herself. She started to devise a plan…
BoA was just finishing the fourth song for the night…
Honnette ie nai mon da ne
(CAN'T LOVE ANYMORE otagai sama ne)
Saikou ni aishiteru no ni
Dakishimeru yowai anata sae
TRUE LOVE watashi ni wa tenshi
Dounattatte tada anata ga suki
Kaeru basho nara sono mune
Hitorizutsu sore ga nozomi nara
Chi no hate made hashiru wa
Kizutsuita sono hane wo iyasu
SO SWEET te no hira wo ageru
As soon as the cheering calmed down, BoA said a word.
"Thank you guys so much! Gosh… it's been an amazing year, let me tell you. Now… this next song… it hasn't been released… at all. A really, really good friend of mine wrote this. He couldn't be here tonight, but he had his reasons… so… please… listen… and I hope you like it…"
(Off stage)
"Wait!? A new song!? This isn't in the program!" Kikyo shrieked, flipping through the papers that Kagome dumped on her. She went with Inuyasha, who went with Inutashio, to the hospital, after the doctor called and said that Sesshomaru was being brought in for an emergency surgery.
"Knowing Rin, she must have very good reasons." Ayame, one of the backup dancers, said, as she continued to stretch for the next big dance number.
(Hospital…)
"What can Rin be up to now?" Inutashio said, watching the TV carefully.
Inuyasha and Kagome were wondering the same thing too.
(Back in the Nagoya Rainbow Hall)
An upbeat sound was heard. It went on for a few seconds until BoA brought the mic close to her mouth.
meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
The music progressed to a dance beat. The fans started to cheer. So far, this mysterious new song sounded great. Rin was lost in her thoughts for a moment as the music went on…
I don't care if I don't progress anymore on the celebrity scale. I don't care if I never can sell an album again… all that matters to me is that you get better… and we can be together…
Ikutsu namida o nagashitara

Dare ni omoi tsutaetara

Midoriko was careful with the scalpel in her hand. Cardiac surgery was not a matter to be taken lightly. She carefully cut the skin so the heart was visible. The monitors continued to beep to state the condition of the patient.
meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
kyou mo takaisora miageteiru
"Where did Rin get this song?" Kagome asked.
Inutashio and Inuyasha exchanged knowing looks. They only seen the written work once, and they had to sneak around to be able to see it in the first place.
donna egao ni deaetara
every heart
yume wo fumidasereruyo

The woman woke up from her spot.
"Kisa- chan?" Kisa's mother said. The bed was empty. And the radio was gone.
itsuka itsuka subete no tamashii ga
yasuraka ni nareru youni
Kisa knew where the operation room was. She knew the hospital layout from her countless days of exploring the hospital when people took their eyes off her. The nurses were too busy chatting to pay any attention to see a floating bag of IV drops pass by. Kisa found the room she was looking for.
meguru meguru toki no naka de
boku tachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
toki ni warai shugoshi naite
kyou mo mada aruki tsuzukete iku
"Wait Dr. Miko!" an assistant said.
"What is it?" Midoriko said, pausing in her actions.
"The blood pressure isn't stable!"
"What do you mean!?"
Midoriko looked over at the monitor. The blood pressure was at first getting too high, and then it got dangerously low. Midoriko couldn't continue the operation with such instability, but if she didn't continue, then Sesshomaru would die. Either way, a very dark turn out.
"There's nothing we can do… until the blood pressure is stable again."
Kisa knew that time was limited; she placed the intercom mic near the radio.
"Kisa! There you are!"
Kisa turned to find a hawk demoness there.
"I thought I told you to stay in bed and recover…" she said, picking Kisa up, but not before Kisa pressed the button.
osanai kioku no kata sumi ni
atatakai basho ga aru soushi
hoshi tachi ga hanasu mirai ga

Sesshomaru heard it… the song. The song that he and Rin figured out together…
meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
kyou mo takaisora miageteiru
Rin…
"Ok! Who got into the intercom system?" Midoriko shouted.
"Doctor! The blood pressure! He's stabilizing!" the nurse said.
Midoriko looked over. Sure enough, Sesshomaru was entering the safe zone again.
"Well, we'll fix the intercom later… let's get back to work…"
meguru meguru toki no naka de
boku tachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
toki ni warai shugoshi naite
kyou mo mada aruki tsuzukete iku
The fans went crazy. Kikyo and Ayame were cheering like mad.
Midoriko exited the surgery room. Inutashio and Inuyasha sat up. Midoriko simple smiled and gave them the thumbs up. Inutashio, Inuyasha, and Kagome sighed in relief.
"And now!" BoA said into the mic.
"I like to dedicate this next song to my number one fan. She just went into surgery yesterday and is currently recovering. So Kisa- Chan, I present… Key of Heart!"
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
dare ni demo button hitotsu kakechigaete

"Will you please just get to the channel already?"
"Geez! Why can't you be like a human for once and sleep for three days after surgrey?"
"Inuyasha!" Inutashio and Kagome said sternly. Inuyasha 'keh'ed and flipped the TV channel to the BoA concert.
ima sugu ni tsutaetai kokoro no door no kagi wa
sono mune no naka ni aru no
makenaide nigenaide
ikusen no omoidetachi ga musubi tsuketekureru
just the key of heart
I believe in love, two hearts
I believe in love, two hearts
Sesshomaru was happy that Rin was able to surpass her depression. Now she shined more than ever on stage.
'gomenne' to ietara kitto wakaru noni
kimi ga inakya dekinai
kitto ima goro onaji omoidaiteru
kizuna ga yondeiru yo
dakara ai ni yuku
"Hm.."
"What is it, Mrs. Makasaki?" Kikyo asked.
"I don't know if I like this song better in Korean or Japanese…" Sae said, listening closely to the words.
"Um… just don't think too hard darling…" Kenji said.
ima sugu ni tsutaetai kokoro no door no kagi wa
kono mune no naka ni mo aru
me wo tojiru tada inoru tobira koshi ni hibiku kodou kimi ni todoku you ni
just the key of heart
Kisa sat back against her pillow. Her mother and she were watching the BoA concert on TV. Suddenly, Kisa had the urge to sing along to BoA. What happened next shocked the nurse on duty and her mother…
meguriai kono kiseki umareta toki mo basho mo
betsubetsu no kimi no mune ni
Kisa was actually singing. Her voice was definitely stronger that before.
"It's a miracle…" Kisa's mother said, trying not to cry.
mayowazu ni tobikonda futari dake no monogatari owarasenai yuuki
just the key of heart
