This Because of That? Chapter 6: Starting Round Two, an inuyasha fanfic

WOW! That's all I really can say! I was so excited after the responses to the last chapter that I got. Thanks to everyone who did what they do best! Especially Krazi3-AnimeLover who seemed as excited as I was and Sakura999 who gave me another site to post my little story on!

Disclaimer: Its just the same as last time, nothing belongs to me.

Same drill as last time, italics are the lead singer and normal is everything else!

Just to be a little helpful, I decided to make a thing for each band, ya know, for reference.

Kids in Cars Singer: Sesshomaru Guitar: Sesshomaru Bass: Inuyasha Backup: Inuyasha Drums: Miroku

Rubber Band Singer: Rin Guitar: Kagome Bass: Rin Backup: Kagome Drums: Sango

Band of Seven Singer: Bankotsu Guitar: Jakotsu Bass: Suikotsu Backup: Suikotsu Drums: Renkotsu

Intensity 5 Singer: Naraku Guitar: Juromaru Bass: Kageromaru Backup: Juromaru Drums: Koga

Bleeding Heart Singer: Kikyo Guitar: Kagura Bass: Kanna Backup: Kagura Drums: Yura

(Nightmare of You is just a filler so no one important is in that band.)

The girls walked back to their spot and tried to get over their shock. Rin and Kagome had the shock of seeing their cousin for the first time in about six years, Sango was just shocked because of everything that was happening. They listened to the muffled sound of their cousin's band and tried to get over what was happening so they could perform one hundred percent in the next round. The guys came over to talk for a little bit until they had to go on stage. Lucky for them, they were last.

"So, what was it like up there for a band that was formed about four weeks ago?" Miroku asked trying to form a strategy again.

"We'd tell ya, but we wanna know more about your date with Sango." Rin said trying to get more information.

"Yeah, you never did tell us how that went." Inuyasha said interested.

"Well," Sango began, "I'd tell you if you didn't have to go now!" As if it was all planned out, the girls from Bleeding Heart came back and the frantic stage manager pushed the guys over to the side of the stage.

"You're really good at avoiding that subject." Kagome said still trying to figure out how Sango did that.

"Yeah, well as I always say, when life throws you lemons, throw 'em back and yell make your own damn lemonade!"

"That's a good thing to live by." Rin said casually.

On the side of the stage, the guys were going over some last minute details and soon they were pushed on stage.

Sesshomaru was caught off guard by the sudden push, but covered it up quite well. "Oh hey guys! We're Kids in Cars! I'm Sesshomaru, the lead singer and guitarist, my brother Inuyasha does bass and backups, and Miroku plays drums while refusing to sing. Why is that Rok?"

"Because, if you've forgotten, I said I sound like a rabid cat on heat lit on fire." He answered.

The crowd loved this but were getting antsy and wanted to hear some music. "I think we've left these guys waiting long enough, let's start this thing!" Inuyasha said.

Sesshomaru shrugged and began playing the intro for "Lonely Day."

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day in my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand

Inuyasha started to sing the chorus.

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sang the next part.

And if you go,
I wanna go with you
And if you die,
I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away

The guys stopped singing for an instrumental but began singing together again.

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived

As the song finished, the guys played until it faded out. Since they were the last band in the first round, they stayed out while the other five bands came out to the stage. The girls of Rubber Band stood to the right of Kids in Cars, on their left was Bleeding Heart, Intensity 5, Nightmare of You, and last was Band of Seven. Sango and Miroku stood towards the back of their groups secretly talking to each other and holding hands. They weren't paying any attention to what was going on around them, so they didn't know that their friends had turned around and saw their current position.

"Le gasp!" Rin said in a fake surprised French accent. "I never knew my dare could lead to this!"

"Oh shut up Rin, I have something planned for you!" Sango said throwing a smirk at Rin who instantly paled. "Anyhoo, what did we miss?"

"Well, my cousin's band has just been eliminated and so has Nightmare of you." Kagome said. "But man, Kikyo did not look happy at all."

"Well, if that's it, we got to finish getting ready for round two."

The order for round two was different than it was for the first round. First, it was Band of Seven, then Intensity 5, followed by Kids in Cars, and Rubber Band was last.

The guys from Band of Seven were getting ready to do their thing but took some time to explain their name. "Well, you see, we don't even know why we are the Band of Seven when there is only four of us. Just go with it and enjoy this song called "Godspeed." Bankotsu said all in one breath.

Burning down neverland scatter the ashes
White lines black ties the mansions
Is this another death by misadventure,
Tell me what you got, what you really got
(Hey, Hey)
We'll rest in our graves,
Lexington course your veins
Sleepers can't just wake the dead
When needles and lovers collapse on guilty beds

Fall asleep (don't fall asleep)
Don't fall asleep

Suikotsu whispered a part before singing the rest of the chorus normally.

They lied when they said that "the good die young"

THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
woah-oh-ah-oh
THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
stay with me, stay with me tonight

Bankotsu began the second verse soon after Suikotsu finished his part.

Burning down bridges now, scatter the ashes
Godspeed to all you're after
Is this a life left just to remember?
Tell them who you were, who you really were
Kill yourself slowly over time, fashion statement suicide
She's still asleep in a Chelsea hotel
Bad turn to worse, and the worst turns into hell

Fall asleep, don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep

Again, Suikotsu whispered a part before going into the actual chorus and finishing the song.

God save the eyes that dim tonight

THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
woah-oh-ah-oh
THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
Stay with me, stay with me tonight

WOAH-OH-AH-OH

THEY LIED, WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
woah-oh-ah-oh
THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
Stay with me, stay with me tonight

THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
woah-oh-ah-oh
THEY LIED WHEN THEY SAID "THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!"
Stay with me, stay with me tonight

Backstage, the guys from Intensity 5 were still trying to get the Rubber Band girls.

Koga seemed to have taken a liking towards Kagome and was already planning their wedding. "You and me would look sweet together on a wedding cake."

"You're absolutely right Koga!" Kagome said in fake happiness. "But only once you'd been cut in half."

Kagome smirked and walked away from a dumbfounded Koga and listened in on a conversation between Rin and Naraku.

"You're very attractive even though if you were any more empty-headed your head would implode." Naraku said as he was getting even more frustrated with Rin for rejecting him multiple times.

"If you were a little bit more intelligent you'd still be stupid." Rin said also getting frustrated. Kagome chose this time to enter.

"Rin, I don't think he's stupid, I just think he's been possessed by a retarded ghost."

Naruku was about to blow, they were starting to irritate him with all their insults, so instead of doing something stupid to confirm their accusations and get his band kicked out, he just walked away. Good thing he did too since his band was about to go up again.

"He's so strange! Let's go spy on Sango and Miroku!" Rin almost yelled.

"Not so fast!" Sango said from behind them, "Miroku's on the side of the stage anyway."

The guys couldn't lie, Intensity 5 was pretty good and had to watched closely. Something about the people in the band just gave everyone the willies. The guys listened and watched as the band onstage really had the crowd going with their song "Blow."

Koga started on the drums first then Naraku started to sing. After about ten seconds, the rest of the band came in.

So Fucking Blow
Those Words Out Of
The Back Of Your Head
I've Heard It All And I'm
Done With That Shit
You Tell Me Lies
And You Get What You Get
So Blow Those Fucking Words
Out Of The Back Of Your Head

BLOW

Oh My God
Did You Just Hear
Lies Are Coming Back In Style
Oh My God The Scene's So Real

Wont Make Us Go Away

And We Wont Conform
Its Not Our Choice
But Something been In Born
If We Fail Within Our Hearts
Can You Blame Us

No No No

A square peg In a Black Hole
We Don't Fit In And That's The Way It Goes
You Should Not Act Like You're Better Than Us
Cause You're Not

No No No What They Say Wont Make Us Go Away

Tell Yourself
Your Not Alone At All
And I'm Looking Out Your Window At All

Finally the singers had a break and the guitarist, Juromaru, had a chance to show off.

What They Say Wont Make Us Go Away
Go Away Go Away Go Away

So Fucking Blow
Those Words Out Of
The Back Of Your Head
I've Heard It All And I'm
Done With That Shit
You Tell Me Lies
And You Get What You Get
So Blow Those Fucking Words
Out Of The Back Of Your Head

I'm Gonna Blow Those Words
Out The Back Of Your Head
Of Your Head Of Your Head Of Your Head

So now that the guys of Kids in Cars had heard Intensity 5's song, they felt that they could do so much better than them. After all, the song was basically the same thing over and over again. It was pretty good until it got to the third chorus.

There ya have it chapter 6. I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but whatever, someone somewhere must like it! Sorry to cut it off, there's a bad thunder storm right now so I rushed to finish this.
