I think now is a good time to at least start this competition thing! Oh yeah, I'm not very musically talented, so some things about songs maybe be a little off. Sorry! the italics are just the singer and normal is the chorus!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, but you already knew that.
The day of the big competition had finally come. All that the bands had worked so hard for was about to get started. There were six bands but only four seemed like they had any chance of winning. While Inuyasha was walking around backstage, he learned the names of the other bands. There was his band, Kids in Cars, the girls' band, Rubber Band, two all guy groups named Intensity 5 and Band of Seven, another girl group called Bleeding Heart and a mixed group called Nightmare of You. After scouting out the competition, Inuyasha returned to his band's area.
"So, how does everyone else look?" Miroku asked trying to form a strategy.
"Well out of six bands, only four seem good, and one called Bleeding Heart seems somewhat familiar." Inuyasha answered.
"And who would the good bands be?" Sesshomaru asked.
Being the blunt kind of person he is, Inuyasha answered, "Us, Rubber Band, Intensity 5, and Band of Seven."
"How did the girls come up with that name?" Miroku asked no one in particular.
"Yeah, its such a weird name." Inuyasha added.
"Would you really expect anything else but weird from those girls?" Sesshomaru asked sarcastically.

Instead of checking out who there was to beat, the girls were trying to get information about Sango's date. Rin and Kagome were relentlessly pounding questions on poor Sango and not giving her time to answer.
"So, what did you do?"
"Did you have fun?"
"Was he perverted at all?"
"Will you do it again?"
"Did you kiss?"
Finally when Rin and Kagome stopped to breath, Sango took her chance to answer. "The classic dinner and a movie, surprisingly yes, surprisingly no, maybe," Sango was a bit hesitant to answer the last question but did eventually, "Yes."
As soon as she said this, he stage manager told them that they were on stage second after Intensity 5, who were getting ready to go on now. A couple minutes later, Intensity 5 was on stage and introducing themselves then began playing their song "Drilled a Wire Through My Cheek." The drummer began first then everyone else joined in.
I try to stay on top of you
To hold your body down
Your shaking seems to hinder
Every grasp that I had found
Moving every inch around you
to diffuse your private bomb
I stretch my self surrounding
And protecting you from harm
The singer sang in a way that the girls could only describe as sort of creepy but at the same time interesting.
I use a wallet for your mouth
So when you bite you will not bleed
I drilled a wire through my cheek
And let it down and out my sleeve
And now you're pulling out the best of me
Yeah which never ever comes
This wire is all that's left of me
And its hooked within my gums, within my gums
During the chorus, everyone but the drummer sang.
So drill it, so drill it, so hard I feel it (so hard)…it's Okay now So drill it, so drill it, so hard I feel it (so hard)…it's Okay now
The singer began to sing alone again.
I hate to show I'd bleed for this
I cut myself to shame
To get to know who this masochist
Who's stolen my first name
Pretending he's a teacher
Holding all my weight at ease
But the teacher seems to split in two
Destroying both his knees
and now crawling I position myself
Below your broken wings
I lift your feathered left arm
Where you hide your heart from me
I never noticed it was swollen
With a touch of brutal pain
I never knew a heart could live inside
The rust from all your rain, all your rain
Again the chorus came and everyone sang even the drummer but instead of singing like the rest of the group, he made a strange noise if that's what you would call it.
So drill it, so drill it, so hard I feel it (so hard)…it's Okay now So drill it, so drill it, so hard I feel it (so hard)…it's Okay now
I didn't think to bring a washcloth
Or to rub away the dirt
Myself & I we share
This barely beating heart of hurt
and when the hurt comes there's an argument
A fight to save a smile
A small attack on human tears
To dry them for a while
A dream we all should count on
Yeah a vision I believe
And where confidence is found
Attached to wires on a sleeve
And where loneliness is history
Told to pack his shit and leave
And when guidance is a fortune
Told to help in time of need
And where crying isn't secret
It's the art of how we grieve
And lessons are the key
To every goal I will achieve, I will achieve
So drill it, so drill it, so hard I feel it (so hard)…it's Okay now So drill it, so drill it, so hard I feel it (so hard)…it's Okay now
The song eventually ended by the song fading out along with the chorus being repeated.
The band finished and looked cocky walking off stage. Sure the crowd went crazy for them but it was what they said to the girls that made them seem extra full of themselves. The lead singer who was eyeing Rin said to them, "Hey hun, when we win, your gonna be seen with me."
"Like I'd want to be seen with someone as stupid as yourself!" Rin yelled.
"Rin, he's not stupid, calling him that would be an insult to stupid people." Kagome added.
"Yeah," Sango began, "Its not his fault." The she directed her gaze at him. "Are your parents brother and sister?"
"Wow Naraku, you were just insulted three times!" the drummer laughed. "My favorite was the insult of the lovely guitar player."
Kagome didn't have time to react to the drummer's comment since Naraku beat her to it. "Shut up Koga!" he yelled and stormed off followed by the other members. The girls just shrugged the whole thing off and took their places.
"Hey, we're Rubber Band!" Rin began. "I'm Rin, I play bass. My sister Kagome plays guitar, and Sango back there plays drums! So now we're gonna play a song we wrote called "I think I'm Paranoid"
All the girls began playing and after a few seconds Rin began to sing.
You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove
The girls began to play their instruments with more force after the opening of the song.
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
Kagome began to sing the chorus and play while Rin just played.
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you
Rin began to play again while Kagome stopped singing and focused on her guitar.
I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you
Paranoid
I think I'm paranoid
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you
Both girls sang for the next part.
Steal me, deal me, anyway you heal me
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me
Rin finished the song singing alone.
Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right
Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right.
The girls stopped playing and were bombarded by loud cheers and applause. Up next was Bleeding Heart, an all group that seemed like the female counterpart of Intensity 5. Nothing was said between the two bands except shocked looks and Kagome and Rin's gasp when they saw who the lead of this band was. They could not believe it even though she was standing right in front of them.

You probably already know who the mystery girl is so way to go! Or something like that. I know all the band names are corny but what can I say, I'm a corny sort of person.
