This Because of That? Chapter 10: The Winner part 2, an inuyasha fanfic

For reasons unknown even to myself, I feel really bad about the last chapter. Now that I think about it, I should have split that up a bit more so um yeah. I guess I really wanted to get that over with. I plan on finishing the contest in this chapter, then after that, there will be a limit to how many songs with lyrics I allow myself to put in a chapter. With that said, I'm gonna end this battle! italicssinger, normaleverything else

Disclaimer:don't own.

After getting over his own shock, Bobby-Boom picked the next color. "And its...Purple!" The crowd went crazy then realized that no one was playing and had a consecutive "HUH?" Bobby-Boom couldn't contain himself, he burst out laughing and yelled into his microphone "HAHA, you just got punk'd! But really, its red." Again the crowd cheered as Kids in Cars got ready to play.

"So I guess its our turn to play." Sesshomaru said calmly. "All we have to do is pretty much rock and bodda boom bodda bang, we win."

"Um, Sess, don't ever do that again. Its kinda like Sango and her weird sayings." Inuyasha said a little freaked out

"You said it, that was one of the weirdest days ever. I'm just glad its all over now." Miroku said.

In the middle stage, the girls were getting comfortable on the floor when Sango sneezed.

"Eww." Rin said.

"Sorry." Sango said. "I think someone's talking about me."

"Don't worry about it too much, just enjoy the rest of the show." Kagome said as she got comfortable on her stomach.

"Hey guess what!" Miroku yelled out into the crowd.

"What?" The crowd rumbled.

"I told you to guess!" he teased.

"Just tell us already!" the crowd yelled at him.

Miroku pretended to be offended by the crowd. "Well, if you're going to be like that, I won't announce our next song!"

"Ah shut up Miroku! This song is "Calling." and we're gonna play it right now!" Inuyasha yelled ready to play the song and get this over with. He didn't waste time starting the song proving how much he wanted to be done.

Your face, is burned inside my brain
I lost my way
Your taste, of skin flows through my veins
The cost I pay 'Cause you'll never understand me
You want me to stay

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

The race of slowing down the pace
I found a way
The pace of speaking so mundane
The sound of gain But you'll never make me happy
So I've extinguished the flame

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

And what you want me to say, I'll never say
You're playing the game, that I'll never play
So what do you want from me
Now I've extinguished the flame

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're fa-fa-fa-falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore.

The song ended and everyone in the building cheered,except for the guys of Intensity 5. The guys knew that there was no way they were loosing now. They saw the girls of Rubber Band either sitting or laying on the floor and decided to follow their lead, it was more tiring than one would think to play songs for hours under hot lights.

When they applause finally died down, Bobby-Boom took the last card, even though it was a waste of time. "For those of you who can't figure it out, orange is up next!"

"Hey guys," Naraku said without much enthusiasm. "Our song is called "Bat Country" so listen to it."

Everyone in Rubber Band and Kids in Cars smirked and thought the same thing. 'Heh, they already know that they've lost!"

The song started with Juromaru talking and playing his guitar.

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

After he said that, Kageromaru yelled,Naraku started to sing, and everyone in the band started to play their instruments.

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.

I tri-ie-ied to drive all through the night,
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn all alone.
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own all alone.
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

Almost as soon as Naraku finished, he started singing again.

As I-I-I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set free.

I'm sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.

Juromaru then began his guitar solo that rivaled Kagome's. Everyone's mouth was open in disbelief, weren't they just thinking that they didn't have a chance? Apparently not.

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.

So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
I've known it from the start all these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Juromaru finished the song and the rest stopped playing allowing their instruments' sounds to fade out. The crowd was crazy, and the other two bands got a little discouraged. The last song was great even if it was their new sworn enemy's song.

"Now that that's done, its time for us judges to decide who wins and what not." Bobby-Boom said and immediately got into a huddle with the bands. Once in a while someone from the huddle would stick their head out, look around, make a face, and quickly put their head back in. After what seemed like twenty-seven hours, the judges announced that they had come to a decision.

"So, all you guys did an amazing job, but some of you were more creative than others." Bankotsu from Band of Seven said. "Intensity 5, your songs were good, but the one called "Blow" seemed like the same thing over and over again. I'm still not sure how you beat my band."

"Yeah, and with that said, your not the winner and that song sucked major eggs! Get out of my sight!" Jakotsu said. "Now, on to the most intriguing bands in this whole thing, Rubber Band and Kids in Cars." That was the fastest attitude change anyone had ever seen from a person, a mental note was made to never make this guy angry or slightly displeased.

"Not only do you guys have the best names here, your songs were creative, fun, and catchy!" A girl from Bleeding Heart said.

"Yeah, I'm really proud of you guys, especially Kagome and Rin." If anyone else had said this, the girls would not have been suspicious, but it was Kikyo who said it. Not wanting to cause a scene, they just smiled and thanked her. Hey, if she could be fake then they could too.

Nightmare of You then took their chance to praise Kids in Cars. "Your last song was defiantly my favorite." The bassist said. "Its still playing in my head!"

Bobby-Boom then added himself to the critique and turned it into the worst ten seconds of everyone's life. "And the winner of the prize is...KIDS IN CARS!"

The guys just stood there in disbelief. They had won the contest and didn't know what to do. It was okay though, as they just stood there shocked, the girls jumped around and cheered for them.

"Alright, so instead of just winning the prize money, you also get a record deal with Flea Records! I know what you're thinking,'That wasn't on the flyer.' because I was thinking the same thing too, but I guess its a new record company and they volunteered to sign the winner. I better hear you guys on my station! You better come to the station and do live shows! And you better bring me back something nice every time you go on tour!"

"Oh my god! Guys, you're gonna be famous!" Rin said jumping up and down.

"And we're going to know them!" Kagome also said jumping up and down.

"Sango! You're going to be attached to a famous rock star!" Miroku said imitating Rin and Kagome.

"Oh, that reminds me..." Sesshomaru said and walked up to the nearest microphone. "As I'm sure you guys already know, Sango and Miroku are an item. Because of Sango's inability to not be an ass, Rin and I are also together. Now all that leaves is Inuyasha and Kagome." Inuyasha and Kagome both ran to Sesshomaru in hopes of stopping him from saying anything. They both tackled him as he said, "Well, they were together long before any of us." By now, both Kagome and Inuyasha we're beyond embarrassed and mad they were just pissed. As they got off of Sesshomaru, they never lost eye contact with him. "What? I'm amazed it took us this long to figure it out!"

Later, the bands were backstage cleaning up their spots. Some short, ugly guy walked past them and nodded. The girls watched as he went over to the guys and introduced himself. From what they heard, he was the owner of Flea Records. When he was walking back after taking to the guys, he stopped and introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Myoga, the owner of Flea Records. How would you like to sign on to my label?" He asked getting right to the point.

Sango was the first one to answer. "Well, thanks and all, but we're not ready for any of that recording stuff. To tell you the truth, we've only been a band for almost a month."

"I can see where you're coming from but please keep my offer in mind. Here, have one of my cards, and call me when you're ready." He gave a card to each of the girls, but Rin shook her head.

"Ya know, I'm probably going to lose this so why don't we each give you our numbers and you can call us in a couple months."

"Sounds reasonable." He said as he programmed each number into his phone. "I look forward to your first album."

"Yeah, us too." Kagome said as he walked away.

"What an odd little man." Rin commented as Myoga walked away from them and right past Intensity 5.

Myoga stopped at the band's area but ignored the band as a whole. Instead of giving his card to everyone or getting their numbers, he walked to the drummer, Koga, spoke with him and exchanged information. The rest of the band look pretty mad and vowed to make it big somehow, with or without Koga and not on a Flea Record's contract.

Oh, the joys that were to come.

Finally this battle of the bands thing is over. I changed some songs last minute but that's okay. Now that I have finished that part though, great things are about to happen, trust me, I've lived them all! There's no way I could possibly think of all the stuff I have in here, and I didn't just went with past experiences.
