Ch. 9 You Want Me To Do What?
I walked into the living room hesitantly, and I tried not to make a sound. This however was very difficult considering the fact that the floor boards were creaking under my feet which rarely ever happen. It seemed like something out of a horror film, but I was not scared. I soon regained my confidence and walked in at a much more faster rate. I walked into the dark room and looked around. I soon noticed the red beaming eyes looking at me in the dark. "Who is there, I know you are there I can see your glowing red eyes", I called out to the figure. The figure came out of the darkness, and I soon discovered I knew this person.
"Toya, what are you doing here", I asked cautiously. "I came to offer you that job. I want you to sing at my club, The Dark Light. I know this is very short notice, but the business is failing miserably. They all want to hear The Angel of Darkness, and if I can't give them what they want, I will lose my club", he said pleadingly. "You want me to do what now? Did you honestly think by coming here I would take pity on your pathetic club? Tell me what you want me to do about it besides just sing because something tells me there is more to it then that", I said to him reading his thoughts throughout my questions. His thoughts were telling me that he wanted me in a sexy outfit, and I wanted to know if his thoughts match his words. "I mainly want you on stage singing. Yes, I do want you in a certain outfit, but that is solely your choice", Toya said. "Describe the sexy outfit and we will talk about the outfit. However, I will sing at your club if you promise free alcohol and my friends get in free. If you meet those demands I will sing for you", I said. "I can meet those demands, but about the outfit, I want black daisy duke shorts, black cowboy boots, and a black tie shirt that ties just about your belly button is that okay", he asked questioningly.
I went over what he said a few times and was looking for a way to make us both happy with this decision. Then it dawned on me. "I agree on these terms if you pay me one hundred dollars more than what you were originally going to pay me", I said. He seemed to ponder on this for a moment and finally spoke, "Fine, I agree to this. You will make two hundred and fifty dollars per song, and you will also make one hundred dollars extra on each performance that you wear that get up. Your drinks will be free and your friends will get in free", he said finally settling on it. "I will settle for that. What day you want me to be there", I asked him. "Tomorrow is the day I want you to start. I want you there at about five o clock so you can get into your outfit. The outfit will be in your all new dressing room that will be there for you as soon as you get there", he said. "Okay, I will see you there, but for now you need to go", I said and as soon as I did he had vanished.
I started to walk back to my room until I remember Hiei may still be in there. So, instead of going in there to face to him, I went and laid down on the couch. I saw a blanket in the chair next to the couch, and grabbed it and threw it over me and just laid there starring at the ceiling. All my thoughts were focused on tomorrow night, and all the people in the house. I finally fell asleep throughout all the thoughts racing through my mind.
I woke up to the smell of bacon, and realized it was passed the time I usually get up, which is usually around six in the morning. I walked into the kitchen where Kurama was cooking breakfast. "Kurama, I am so sorry I over slept", I said looking at him with tired eyes. "Its all okay Isabella. You have cooked breakfast every day that you have been here. It is only right that someone else takes over sometimes", he said with a smile. "Yes, but you shouldn't have to cook breakfast you all work so hard to keep me out of trouble. The least I can do, is cook breakfast", I said looking down in complete guilt. "Don't think of it that way", he said. "Okay I guess", I said walking to the table and sitting down,"By the way, I have some important news for every one when they get in here". "What news would this be, or is it something you need to tell us all one at a time", he asked. "No, this is something I can go ahead and tell you. Toya has offered me a job tonight at his club, and all of us get in free", I said. "Bella, that is great. Its sure to make the girls happy. You know how they love clubbing", Kurama said while fixing me a plate of bacon and sausage. I looked at him with puzzling eyes. "How did you know I didn't like eggs", I asked him. "I haven't fixed the eggs yet, and I can hear your stomach growling, so I decided to go ahead and give you your plate", he said chuckling.
"Thanks Kurama", I said blushing and starting to chow down on the really good food. As soon as I was done, I got up and washed plate. As soon as I did this everyone started piling in. As soon as every one got their plate, I sat down on the counter top and cleared my throat. Everyone turned around and looked me and got quiet. "I have an announcement to make everyone", I said. "The last time you had announcement, you had a kid what is it this time", Koemma asked suspiciously. "Well because you said that, you're not coming. I got a job in which I will make three hundred and fifty dollars per song as long as I wear the outfit they have for me, and if I don't, I will make two hundred and fifty per song. You all will get in free as my guest" I said which got everybody to talking. I walked out and went to the living room where I found Mortal Kombat the game in the game console. I started up the arcade version and played as Sindel. I got to about the third level in the arcade when Yusuke walked in. "Isabella, I didn't know you played video games", he said excitedly. "Are you kidding me, ha ha, I love this game", I said laughing throughout my words. "As soon as you are done with your arcade rounds, I want to play against you", he said in a competitive spirit. "Will do, but don't cry when I kick your ass", I said tauntingly.
I finally completed the arcade mode, and even defeated Blaze! "Alright Yusuke, pick up your controller and choose your character", I said with a sly face. He picked Scorpion, and I picked Jade. "Really, you're going to try to beat the all time best Scorpion with Someone as bad as Jade", he asked as the round began to start. I defeated him in the first round and then paused it on the second round to speak. "She ain't so terrible now, now is she", I said looking at him with a grin. His face was in shock, and as soon as I noticed this, I looked behind us. Everyone was watching us. We both turned around to finish the second round. This round he put up more of a fight, but I still won. I even performed a perfect fatality. "Damn, Isabella, when did you get so good at video games", Kuwabara asked giving me a high five for defeating Yusuke. "I have always been good, but never really play anymore", I said. "Wow", he said. "Alright, who is my next challenger I have a few hours til I have to get ready", I said looking around. Kuwabara raised his hand. I played against him as Sereena, and he played against me as Bo rai cho. The whole rounds were over in about five minutes, and I got a flawless victory each time. He stared at me with a shocked face.
"Okay, anyone else", I asked. "I will", Hiei said. This caused everyone to look at him with a shocked look. "You never play video games Hiei", said Yusuke. "Yes dimwit, I know this. I just want to put the bitch in her place", said Hiei. "I am bitch now? Wow, okay when you get your ass kicked you can stay home tonight because you ain't getting in on my guest list", I said kind of angrily. "Whatever", he said. I chose Nitara and he chose Mavado. The first round went to me, the second to him, and the last one to me. "Yeah so as I said, you are staying home", I said getting up and walking to my room. I felt like breaking something, and just as soon as I picked up the lamp to throw it, there was a knock at the door that caused me to jump and drop the lamp. At the sound of the glass dropping, the person walked in. "What do you need Kurama", I asked. "Just to say that Hiei probably didn't mean to call you a bitch", he said looking at the glass lamp broken on the floor, "what happened here". "I don't give a fuck what Hiei calls me, and I went to move it but I dropped it when you knocked on the door", I said calmly. "Okay, if you say so", he said walking out but not shutting the door. I didn't even notice it. I started working on one song that I knew I wanted to do tonight. The name of the song was you and you're hand by pink. I opened my mouth to sing it:
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh
Check it out
Going out
On the late night
Looking tight
Feeling nice
It's a cock fight
I can tell
I just know
That it's going down
Tonight
At the door we don't wait cause we know them
At the bar six shots just beginning
That's when dick head put his hands on me
But you see
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh oh

In the corner with your boys you bet 'em five bucks
You'd get the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me yeah

High fiving, talking shit, but you're going home alone aren't cha?

I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
Yeah oh
After I finished singing the song, I realized it was time to go, and went to open my door just to find familiar faces outside it. "What do ya'll want", I asked looking at Hiei, Yusuke, and Kurama. "We are here to make him apologize", Yusuke said with a big grin on his face. "There is no need for that. If he is not sincere about it, then it means nothing", i said grimly. "Actually, they are not forcing me", Hiei said speaking up. "Oh, so why are you attempting to apologize now. Was calling me a bitch not good enough for you", I asked calmly. "Actually, I realized that you did not deserve that. You can't help your past, nor can I help mine. The only thing I can ask of you now is to forgive me. The fox and the dimwit only came because they wanted to make sure you and I would not lock into a fist-fight", he said. "You are forgiven. However, I am a bitch, and its high time I got used to being called one. This does not excuse the fact though that its time for me to go to work", I said. "Can I still go", he asked. "Yes, but only if you stop talking and let me go to work ha ha", I said while laughing. "Hn", was all he said.
I teleported to the bar, and I almost felt like it was one of the best things for me to do. I walked in the front door and was greeted by Toya. "Hello Isabella, I am glad to see you made it. We have your outfit and various cosmetics in the back waiting for you", he said. I just nodded and started walking towards the back. I found the outfit and slipped it on. I carefully laid my view over the various cosmetics provided for me. I decided that foundation was not necessary, and just decided that eye make up was good enough. I carefully applied black and silver eye shadow to eyes and also applied heavy eye liner and mascara. I then noticed a tube of clear lip gloss. I then applied this and started brushing my hair. After I was done with getting ready I walked out into the middle of the night club. Toya then walked up to me, and told me that it was time to go on stage. "Wait a minute I have to make a phone call to my friends", I said. "Do it, but do it quickly", he said. I sent a telepathic message to everyone, and just stared a Toya. "Well, are you going to make that phone call", he asked. "I sent them a telepathic message. They should be here, well, now", I said noticing everyone walking in the door dressed and ready to party. I started walking toward the stage running through my mind what I wanted to sing.
I got on stage, walked up to the microphone, and stared at the crowd. "I will be singing Jumpin' Jumpin' by Destiny's Child", I said as my music came on and I started to sing.

After my song was over everyone was cheering, but I realized while I was doing the lead, I had back up singers, and I wondered who they were. I turned around to see Amy and Micella were on back up microphones. I just smiled at them and turned around to see Yusuke was the one who did the man voice for me, so I smiled at him too. "Well apparently, you need to meet the triple Sachi death threat. Meet my two sisters, Amy and Micella Sachi. We are triplets, and we have talent. Also thank you Yusuke for being my man voice during the song however I believe I know a song that requires just me", I said as everyone clapped as they got off stage. "How would you all like to hear a song that I have picked just for a certain occasion", when I said this the crowd went wild. "I'm going to sing Knives and Pens by the Black Veil Brides, the acoustic version", I said and then the music started playing.
Alone at last, we can sit and fight.
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light,
But stay right here we can change our plight.
We're storming through this despite what's right.
One final fight, for this tonight.
Woah...
With knives and pens we made our plight.
Lay your heart down the ends in sight.
Conscience begs for you to do what's right.
Everyday it's still the same dull knife,
Stab it through and justify your pride.
One final fight, for this tonight.
Woah...
With knives and pens we made our plight.
Woah...
And I can't go on without your love, you lost, you never held on.
We tried our best... Turn out the light,
Turn out the light.
One final fight, for this tonight.
Woah...
With knives and pens we made our plight.
Woah...
And I can't go on without your love, you lost, you never held on.
We tried our best... Turn out the light,
Turn out the light.
The crowd went a little over crazy this time, and I could feel a pair of crimson eyes on me, and I knew that he heard every word I sang. "Thank you everyone, and if it ain't too much trouble I'm going to sing the Mortician's Daughter by The Black Veil Brides now", I said and the music started.
I open my lungs dear
I sing this song at funerals, no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush.
Baby boy you've held so tightly,
This pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds,
I feel your touch.
I will await dear
A patience of eternity, my crush.
A universal still, no rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame,
One million years, I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.
We booked our flight those years ago,
I said I loved you as I left you.
Regrets still haunt my hollow head
But I promised you,I will see you again, again.
I sit here and smile dear.
I smile because I think of you,I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss.
The fuss is made of miles and travel,
When roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.
We booked our flight those years ago
You said you loved me as you left me.
Regrets still haunt your saddened head,
But I promised you I will see you,
We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you and I left you
Regrets no longer in my head,
But I promised you and now I'm home again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
I'm home again
By the time I was through singing this one I was in tears. I had them streaming down my face yet my voice stayed strong. This time there was no applause because everybody was too shocked or too emotional to do anything. "I'm okay everyone just kind of let it get to me", I said with a small smile. Once again everyone applauded and those crimson eyes that were on me had saddened. I just looked away from him and turned my attention to the rest of the crowd. "My next song will be How Long by Hinder", I said as my music started playing.
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
I can't seem to get my heart over you
Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
How long till this goes away
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said
She said
She said she's sorry
With one finger
I said fuck that
I can tell you're lying when your lips move
Cause of one lie it's not me it's you
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
How long till this goes away
She said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said
She said
She said she's sorry
With one finger
With one finger
I said fuck that
After that the crowd was cheering, and the crimson eyes were back to just starring at me again. "I have another song or three and then I will do my finale and I'm done for the night. I'm singing the song broken by Lifehouse and the next song I will need a duet partner so be looking for the lucky ticket winner. Remember to check the ticket you received at the door, and then I will take you back stage and make sure you can sing, and we will go from there. Amy and Micella I need ya'll on back up", I said then my music started playing.
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain (in the pain), is there healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain(In the pain) there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin'
on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on
(I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you
My song was over, and the crowd was applauding and once again those crimson eyes were saddened. I just paid it no attention. "Okay, now everyone please get out your tickets, and I will call the winning number", I said and then waited for everybody to do so. "Okay so whoever's ticket number 0782249, you are the winner", I said. It took a while for me to finally get whoever's ticket it was, however when the person walked up on stage, I was not ready for the result.
