TQL: ANOTHER chappie. I don't own Fruits Basket and please review!
Every time we lie awake
After
every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't
missed you yet
Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and
scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't
miss you yet
"I don't get it…" said Kyo, once Kori and Shana had stopped giggling.
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why
do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
Kyo's eyes widened. Ellen looked at everyone, EXCEPT him.
Every time we
lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But
I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate
everything about you
Why do I love you
Only when I stop to
think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About
me, do you know
I hate
everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything
about me
Why do you love me
Grins had never left the faces of Kori and Shana as they watched Kyo's cheeks burn like wildfire.
I hate
You
hate
I hate
You love me
I hate everything about you
Why
do I love you
The song ended and Ellen practically jumped off the stage.
"The sooner I face them, the sooner I get it over with…" She thought to herself. When she returned to the booth, she turned to Kori and Shana.
They burst out laughing.
"Yeah, yeah…." She sat down next to Kyo, avoiding eye contact. "Kori, you go. I hope Yun-Yun doesn't mind going last."
"I don't mind." Replied Yuki, "Kakeru, you're rubbing off on people." Kori slid out of the booth, nervous as she walked up to the stage. She told the manager her song and loosened up a bit, when she saw everyone at the booth smiling and clapping and whistling for her. Well, mainly Ellen and Shana, but it was still comforting. (A/N: Song is Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton)
Just
a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin' to get by.
Just
a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And
as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize-
That
everyday you find
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting
star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you
can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand?
Kori closed her eyes and went over her life in her head. Had she lived it to the fullest?
And as he
spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I
felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could
heal.
And
as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to
know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
She opened her eyes to see her friends there, always there. She smiled. "Yes. I've definitely lived my life to the fullest!" She grinned at the way Yuki and Kyo were looking at Shana and Ellen. "And it's not over yet!" She saw Kakeru. Strangely, she didn't feel a surge of anger. He was just looking at her, his eyes melting into hers. She continued the song, a REALLY small blush on her cheeks.
And
he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your
dreams right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your
hand.
Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the
stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can't you
see?
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in
bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in
my head?
Did he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so
real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing
there with a deal.
And he said my take my hand,
Live while
you can,
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your
hand
Right in the palm of your hand,
Right in the palm of your
hand.
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get
by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was
looking to the sky
Kori sighed in relief as the song ended. She slid back into the booth.
"THAT WAS WONDERFUL, BABY!" Kakeru exclaimed as he hugged her.
BAM.
"I told you not to call me that, you perv!" A vein popped in Kori's forehead as she punched him.
"Your turn Yun-Yun…" He managed to pipe out. Yuki nodded.
"Wish me luck!" He smiled before going up to the stage. Shana nodded. (A/N: His song is What's Left Of Me by Nick Lachey) He took a deep breath before he started to sing.
Watch my life,
Pass
me by,
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are
becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the
shadow of my mistakes
Yeah...
Cause I want you,
And
I feel you,
Driving underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like
a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And
I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can
have what's left of me
Shana's eyes widened, listening to the lyrics. "Why'd he pick this song?" She thought, leaning in a little forward to listen.
I've been dying
inside,
Little by little,
No where to go,
But going out of
my mind
In endless circles,
Running from my self until,
You
give me a reason for standing still
Cause I want you,
And
I feel you,
Driving underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like
a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And
I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can
have what's left of me
It's falling faster,
Barely
breathing,
Give me something,
To believe in
Tell me: It's
all in my head
Take what's left
Of this man
Make me
whole
Once again
Cause I want you,
And I feel
you,
Driving underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like a
burning,
To find a place I've never been
Kakeru and Kyo started silently chuckling and Kori and Ellen exchanged smirks as Shana started to slightly blush.
Now I'm broken,
And
I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can
have what's left of me
Yuki sent a smile over at the booth that sent Shana's heart racing.
"Calm down, Shana…" She thought to herself, "His smile never did that to you before!"
I've been dying inside you see
I'm going
out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all
the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's
left
Will you take what's left of me?
Running in circles
all the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's
left
Will you take what's left of me?
What's left of me…
Yuki let out a breath and merrily hopped off the stage and sat back in the booth.
"Well, was it good?" asked Yuki. They nodded.
"You shoulda seen Sha-ow!" Shana had kicked Ellen under the table.
"Let's talk about YOUR performance, Ellen, hm?" said Shana, "What an interesting song you chose, wasn't it, Kyo?"
"Shut up!" exclaimed Ellen as both hers and Kyo's faces were as red as tomatoes. The manager walked onto the stage for an announcement.
"That concludes our single acts! Ladies and gentlemen, how about we get some duets up here?" Yuki's eyes lit up.
"Hey, Shana! Let's sing one together!" He said.
"Wha? Ack!" Yuki had already grabbed Shana's hand and started dragging her to the stage.
"Well, this'll be interesting…" said Kakeru. They watched as a clueless Shana was put on stage and microphone in her hands. Yuki had chosen the song. When the music started to play, Kori and Ellen's eyes went wide in utter delight.
"Omigosh, did he…?" said Kori.
"He did!" exclaimed Ellen. They burst out laughing.
"What?" asked Kakeru and Kyo.
"Just watch." Said Kori and Ellen together.
