Chapter 2: Blue; the band
The screams from the crowd were deafening as the people cheered an incoherent chant over and over again. Lights flashed in what seemed like a random order when in all reality it was rehearsed and memorized. A chorus of `Blue! Blue!' could be heard as the lights dimmed, engulfing the crowd in darkness; the audience cheered in approval as many screamed for an encore which echoed in the vicinity. In the end people left and the world tour continued.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Akina hummed to herself as she brushed her silver hair with black streaks to a straightness all humans envied her for. Grabbing a barette from her nightstand she gently bunched up a few strands and elegantly pinned them fashionably behind her elf-like ear. Her silver blue eyes shined in mirth as the song only she could hear played itself in her head.
“Akina!”
Akina turned her head sharply at the call of her name, her brown skirt twirling against her legs at the sudden movement.
“Yeah?” Akina yelled back, wondering what her mother wanted with her.
“Hurry up we're about to go!” Akina heard her mother yell back in response.
“I'm coming!” Akina yelled; grabbing her bag, she swung it over her shoulder before walking out of her bedroom. Quickening her pace, Akina hummed to herself as she made her way to the front door where she could smell her mother and little sister getting ready to leave.
Shiho smiled at her elder sibling upon catching her scent.
“Ready to go you two?” Rin asked her pups.
Both children nodded eagerly, happy that their mother was taking them somewhere.
Rin smiled as she opened the door for the two of them to exit through. Both girls exited, while Akina still hummed her merry tune.
Shiho looked at her sister perplexed. She was still quite curious as to what had caught Akina's attention this time. It wasn't very often that Akina found a band that she really liked. The last time Shiho remembered Akina getting obsessive over a band was over half a century ago.
Akina quit her humming when she noticed Shiho looking at her out of the corner of her eye. Turning to face her fully Akina rose an eyebrow.
“What's wrong Shi?” she asked, not liking the look her little sister was sending her way.
Shiho scrunched her nose up, not liking the way her sister was keeping all the good details from her. She may look like she was six, but Shiho hated when people treated her as I she was a child. She was over a century old, way older than some of those humans that called her young.
“I was just wondering what you're humming sis,” Shiho replied with an innocent look on her face.
She watched her sister in amazement as her face broke out into an ear splitting grin.
“Oh Shi you're going to love it! There's this new band that just came out recently and it's all the rage! Even I love it!” Akina proclaimed, turning to the car as she put on her concealment spell before hopping in the car, not caring of her external changes, completely used to the feeling by now. Akina slid into the passenger side of the car. She smiled as she dug around in her bag for her CD that she wanted to show to Shiho.
Shiho smiled in excitement before hopping into the back seat of the SUV, wondering what on the CD had caught Akina's interest.
When Akina pulled out the disk the first thing Shiho noticed was the entire cover and case were a solid dark blue. No picture of the artist or anything, just blue.
Akina watched impatiently as her mother closed the front door and made her way to the car. Rin smiled at the impatient look on her daughter's face. It was quite amusing when Rin happened to stumble upon that particular look. Akina was usually well reserved and not very open with her feelings, but when she wanted something done she just did some of the funniest things.
Akina found it hard to restrain the annoyed growl boiling at the back of her throat. When Rin finally reached the car door and swung it open she was met with the exasperated Akina.
“Damn woman it took you long enough!” She griped at her mother, knowing that she would take no offence to it.
Rin giggled to herself.
“Whoa! I didn't know that Uncle-Inu was in the car!” Rin teased as she let her laughter bubble to the surface.
“Mom!” Akina whined to her mother, hating the way that she was making this out to be some kind of joke.
“Sorry hunny.” Rin apologized with a smile on her face letting Akina know that it wasn't from the heart.
“Can we just go?” Akina asked, waiting with her last strand of patience for her mother to put the keys in the ignition.
Rin continued to laugh as she started the car, watching with great amusement as Akina quickly pushed the CD load button and waited with as much patience as she could muster as she watched the waiting button flash orange before the light turned green, signaling that a disk could be inserted. Akina squealed as she inserted the CD and quickly pushed the play button. Stretching far to look behind her, Akina stared at her sister from her seat in front of Shiho, a brilliant smile lighting her face.
“Listen and be amazed Shiho.”
Rin rolled her eyes at her pup's antics. She shifted the car into reverse before leaving the drive way and starting her journey to the mall.
Shiho smiled at her sister, getting excited. Akina was really good about finding only the good things that were released into the public. Shiho knew that Akina would never show her something unless it was really worth her time.
Shiho watched Akina intently as she squealed in excitement when the first beat to the song played.
Shiho immediately found out why Akina loved this band, it was like something she had never heard before. It was a fast beat music with techno strung inside every note. It gave it that something that was different. The song then suddenly had someone sing in it and Shiho found her breath momentarily taken from her lungs. This woman, this woman who was singing had a voice Shiho had never heard. It was calming almost, letting her feel at ease, almost as if this woman was singing to her, to her soul, but at the same time it made her want to hop up and dance to the beat of the song. Shiho had never heard a voice as beautiful as this woman singing. It was mesmerizing and Shiho instantly knew that this would be her new favorite band.
Shiho squealed, like her sister did moments earlier, in approval and excitement.
“Oh Akina, who is this! She has such a beautiful voice!” Shiho squealed again, utterly flabbergasted at how completely unique and wonderful this band was.
Akina frowned momentarily.
“I can't say that I know,” she said with the smallest hint of suspicion lacing her voice.
“She never says her name. She only goes by `Blue'. She also always wears a blue feathered mask whenever she's out, so no one really knows who she is.” Akina then paused, letting the information sink into Shiho's brain.
“But,” she continued a moment later, a mischievous look playing over her face as she smiled a cattish smile.
“I heard that she shows her face at every concert she has. She just has a very strict policy that no cameras of any type are allowed in the concert hall when she's performing. Every one's cool with that though, because they just want to see her and then brag to their friends.” Akina said, turning back around fully to face the proper way in the car.
“Cool!” Shiho exclaimed with a bone cracking smile.
“Say mom, what do you think of her?” Akina asked noticing the odd look that passed over her mother's face.
Rin paused for a moment, carefully trying to put her words together. She didn't really know what to think. This girl in this band sounded so familiar, she just couldn't put her finger on it. It was scary though how she felt like the girl was singing to her very soul. It was an odd and familiar feeling, making a sense of dread knot at her stomach. Rin smiled, still not taking her eyes off the road in front of her.
“She has a very beautiful voice,” Rin spoke finally; trying desperately to shake off the feeling that she should be remembering something.
Akina shrugged at the look on her mom's face.
`Keh!' Akina thought, `it's not like I care if she likes it or not.'

Inuyasha went straight to his room when he finished his breakfast. He lay on his bed, his blinds drawn, only letting the sun peek through the slits in the wood, giving his room the successful dark gloomy look. He really didn't feel like talking to anyone yet.
`Of course,' he mused silently when he smelt Sesshomaru's scent coming close to his door, `living with him never meant a moment of peace.'
Sesshomaru knocked on the wooden door twice before letting himself in.
Inuyasha glared at his half-brother from his prone position on his muddled bed.
“What do you want Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha asked gruffly, really wanting that peace about now.
“Get up.” Sesshomaru demanded with authority in his voice.
Inuyasha scowled, “and why the hell should I?” he asked stubbornly.
“Because baka,” Sesshomaru said, “there is something that is bugging you and you will tell this Sesshomaru of it.” He demanded with no room for argument in his voice.
Inuyasha grunted.
“And what the hell makes you think that I will tell you anything?” He asked angrily. Why couldn't his brother just leave him alone for once?
“Because I will not let you confine yourself in this room and ruminate about it all day. You know what happens when you do that.” Sesshomaru retorted, knowing that he had his baka brother backed into a corner.
Inuyasha stiffened, but other wise did not reply. He sat up slowly in his bed, slouching over himself in defeat, leaving just enough to give Sesshomaru room to sit next to him.
Sesshomaru strode over to Inuyasha's bed, before sitting next to him in his crumpled bed.
The room was dark and silent as Inuyasha gruffly tried to find a way to talk to Sesshomaru.
Deciding finally to just come out with it Inuyasha took a deep breath.
“I'm having those dreams again.” Inuyasha said darkly, hiding from the world behind his bangs, letting an emotionless mask fall upon his features.
He felt Sesshomaru stiffen on the bed next to him, and knew that Sesshomaru understood what he was saying.
“How long?” Sesshomaru asked, urgency rising in his throat, though he still managed to maintain it.
“Just last night.” Inuyasha replied, still emotionlessly. The subject in general was a very delicate subject and avoided at all costs. No one ever tried to bring it up; it still felt too fresh. Even after all the years.
“There must be a reason.” Sesshomaru mused quietly, more to himself than Inuyasha.
“Who cares?” Inuyasha said before falling into his bed and rolling to the wall. “I know that I don't.” He said trying more to reassure himself than anyone else.
“Besides--it happened a long time ago.” And with that Inuyasha shut Sesshomaru out of his world for the moment.
He wasn't stupid. Sesshomaru knew that this was eating at Inuyasha like a disease and he was determined to find out why he was suddenly having these dreams again.
He didn't, after all, want history to repeat itself.
~*~*~*~*~*~
“Where should we go next?” A masculine voice asked. The blue-eyed woman smiled, making sure that her mask was secure before she turned to her manager.
“Tokyo”
Her manager gaped at her. “Are you sure?” He asked timidly, knowing that she was sensitive of the subject in general. Why though, he did not know.
“Yeah,” the woman replied. “I think it's about time that I stopped running away.”
