Disclaimer: I do not own the Kamisama Hajimemashita/Kamisama Kiss series or any of the characters who have been featured so far. I only own the right to entertain others. I also do not own the two songs featured in this chapter: Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake and My Band by D12. Both songs have been edited so they are less explicit and much shorter.

Chapter 24: In which Tomoe starts a band

Nanami sighed dreamily.

'What?' Tomoe asked her irritably.

She sighed again. 'You know, Tomoe. It totally spoilt Kurama's image when he turned out to be a tengu. It was amazing just thinking he was a fallen angel…' she exhaled loudly for a third time.

'What, immediately there's a hot guy with a good voice and you love him?' he muttered in disgust.

'Yeah… there's something really compelling about guys who can sing…' Nanami sighed and rolled over on her stomach.

'Tomoe, why did you gather us here?'

'I want to discuss a most serious matter.'

Mizuki raised his hand.

'Snake,' Tomoe nodded, signifying his turn to speak.

'It was me who picked all the flowers from the rose bush…' he mumbled.

'…No, not exactly what I meant.'

'Kurama flicked his hair. 'Well, what do you mean? I'm a super-busy idol; I don't have enough time to play with you.'

'I was thinking of band names,' Tomoe admitted ruefully.

Immediately Mizuki squealed in delight. 'How about Nanami and the Familiars?'

'First off, Nanami isn't in the band. Secondly, the crow isn't a familiar, and finally, that's an awful name.'

'Who said I was in the band?' Kurama grinned as Mizuki pouted.

'Don't act like you don't love it, crow.'

'Indeed,' he mused, 'how about Demon Union? We could sing a little death metal, some pop to get the girls, it's all good.'

Tomoe blinked. 'Um… sure.'

After all, he didn't know much about bands, all he knew was how to sweep the floor.

'A one, and a two, and a one, two, three, four!'

'I don't know, dude. I think everyone's all jealous and that. 'Cause I'm like, the lead singer of the band, dude,' Kurama drawled.

'And I think everyone's got a fricking problem with me, dude. And they need to take it up with me after the show,' Mizuki agreed.

Because, these chicks don't even know the name of my band

But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands

'Cause once I blow they know that I'll be the man

All because I'm the lead singer of my band

'So I get on stage, right, drop the mic', walk up to these hot chicks and I'm all like, 'sup, ladies, my name's Tomoe, I'm the lead singer of Demon Union, baby.'

'And they're like "Oh my God, it's him! Becky oh my freaking God, it's him! I swear to freaking Go–'

Kurama shook his head, stopped twanging on his guitar and turned to Tomoe. 'We can't do this song!' he yelled over Mizuki's warbling. 'It's too explicit! The girls won't like it!'

'So what do you suggest?'

'Hey, errm, Tomoe, why have you brought me here?'

'Just, just, stay there, 'kay? I'll be back in a second!'

Nanami stood in the cold and wrapped her jacket tighter around her as the wind whipped her hair around. Why Tomoe had gathered her in front of the Shrine beneath the arch, she had no idea. That was, of course, until the arch was illuminated with tiny blinking lights.

'For one night!' Mizuki yelled.

'And one night only!' Kurama added.

'Put your hands together!' Tomoe shouted.

'For Demon Union!' they chorused.

Nanami concealed her giggles as Kurama struck his guitar, Mizuki hammered on drums and Tomoe gripped his microphone. They were all dressed in black skinny jeans so tight, Nanami probably couldn't get in them, overly-straightened, floppy hair swept to the side, baggy shirts and necklaces with a different emblem on each.

'One, two, three,' Kurama mouthed at the others.

Mizuki began to thump a beat on the drums, picking up the pace as Kurama plucked his guitar strings into a tune.

I'm bringing sexy back

'Yeah!'

'Yeah!'

'Yeah!'

'Yeah!'

'Take 'em to the bridge!'

'Uh-huh.'

'Uh-huh.'

'Uh-huh.'

'Uh-huh.'

'Take 'em to the chorus!'

'Yeah!'

'Yeah!'

Girl, let me make up for you the things you lack

'Yeah!'

'Cause you're burning up, I gotta get it fast

'Yeah!'

They finished the song with a flamboyant guitar solo and a high pitched moan from Tomoe as Mizuki continued the steady beat.

Nanami clapped loudly, still giggling.

Nanami strolled hand-in-hand with the still rock star dressed Tomoe.

'So that's what you've been doing this whole time?'

Tomoe flicked his hair and grinned at her. 'You liked it?'

'Who's idea was it to sing Sexy Back? I applaud them,' she laughed again.

'Mine,' he smiled truthfully. It was the only human song he could bear since it reminded him of many late rendezvous better left in only his memory.

'Well good choice,' she grinned and kissed his nose before walking away humming D12, My Band.
