Chapter 25 `the finals'

The girls walked through the thick crowd, Kagome getting praises about her and the group's `awesome rocking' form a lot of people. They finally made it to a hallway that led outside, they walked down it and froze they felt a prickling sensation on their necks, they spun and saw Goshinki and Bankostu (runnin out of characters to be evil here, bear with me. I don't really want bank to be evil, but oh well) they were slowly advancing on the girls.

"What's going on?" Ayame asked her cousin.

"They're with Naraku, c'mon" Kagome said she spun back around and continued down the hall. They froze, a dead end…

00000000000000000ooooooooooooooooooooooooo000000000000000000000 0000000

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha growled.

"Naraku must have found her as a threat again and decided to take her out" Kikyo said nonchalantly, checking her nails.

"And she found you a bitch and took you out?" Kouga asked innocently signaling to the bruise on her cheek. She glared at him then stormed off.

"Ok, Kag's in trouble" Miroku said before they bolted off-stage.

____________________--------------------------------___________ _______________

Bankotsu chuckled and threw the first punch at the cornered girl, Kagome dodged and Ayame punched back. Goshinki pushed Aya out of the way and both males began advancing on Kagome. They punched at the same time, forcing her to block with both hands, thus rupturing the healing process of her broken ligament.

She groaned in pain as Bankotsu caught her off-guard and delivered a blow to her stomach. Ayame intervened once again, jumping on Bankotsu's back then knocking him out. Kagome swiftly kicked Goshinki in the front and Ayame kicked at him the same time in the back, the blows stunned him sending him to the floor.

Kagome leaned on the wall clutching her wrist, which was out of place. Ayame led her slowly out of the hall where they found the guys.

"What's wrong?" Inu asked "how the hell did that happen?!" he was looking at Kagome's wrist which was now fixed at a 80° angle.

"Damn…" was all Miroku could get out.

"Your telling me" Kagome winced

"You cant play like this" Sesshomaru declared

"To hell I am"

"No you will not, I will not sacrifice your health for a competition" his tone clearly said `end of discussion' but she would have none of that.

"Listen, I'm playing whether you like it or not, I'm not giving that bastard the satisfaction of knowing he beat me. Ok" she began to unravel the bandage

"What are you doing?" Ayame protested,

"I want you to straighten it when I take off the wrap, then re-wrap it"

"What?! hell no, there is no way I'm doing that!"

"Ayame please"

"No you have to have that checked out"

Kagome sighed. "How much time do we have?"

"Five minutes" Kouga answered.

"Fine, where are the first aid retards?"

"On the other side of the room"

"Ok, we either waste five minutes going over there, or we do it my way and when we win we have it checked out" she concluded.

"Your pretty bold aren't you" came a voice behind her, she turned to see Goshinki. She growled they high-kicked him in the chin knocking him out.

"Damn…" Kouga winced

"Clock's tickin'" Kagome said as if that interruption never happened.

"Fine, hand it here" Sesshomaru sighed, it was a surprise he was the first one to crack, especially with his iron clad resolve, but who looks a gift horse in the mouth? Not her.

She finished unraveling the bandage and pushed out her sore hand to him, he righted the bones with a stomach churning crick while Kagome bit on her other arm, then he re-wrapped it.

"Are you sure you want to play like this?"

"Yah."

++++++=============+++++++++++++++==============

The two bands stood on their respective platforms, as Naraku grinned maliciously at Kagome. She glared at him then glanced at the neck of her guitar, all her band members were looking at her. It was do or die, now or never.

She flexed her wrist experimentally before clutching the neck of the instrument. She immediately bit her lip and froze the tears. Naraku had that evil glint in his eye. The one that made you want to grab a pencil and jab it in there.

"You don't have to do this" Inuyasha whispered to her, she shook her head. He sighed, nodding then signaling to Miroku that they were ready.

The counted them off and they intro-ed their song `enter sandman'.

"Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone" Inuyasha started

"Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land"

Kagome deftly moved her aching fingers over the chords, ignoring the pain, hoping that it would turn to a dull throbbing ache very soon. She didn't dare look up, she didn't want to see that satisfaction, that malicious grin. It made her sick. She didn't want to show him that he affected her.

She wouldn't give in.

She refused.

"Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land"

She refused to give in. with a clench of her jaw with fierce determination, she began to play harder, getting more into the music totally ignoring the pain. Her pride wouldn't let her register it. She didn't care anymore.

She would not lose.

"Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land"

Naraku watched in horror, as Kagome seemed to get stronger and stronger whilst playing. There was no pain evident whatsoever. Heck he couldn't even move with the look she was pinning him with.

So the bitch was harder to defeat than he thought. Damnit, he underestimated her again.

The crowd seemed to be feeding off her energy and vice versa. Her band members were shocked at first. That much was evident. Then they started ripping with a newfound power in them all. They began to play harder. The crowd was roaring; nothing was audible.

This was not possible.

The group ended with a bang, the cheering never ceasing as they bowed slightly. The scowl that marred Naraku's beautiful yet malicious features could be seen for miles away. He in turned glared directly at the lead guitarist of the opposing band as he signaled for them to start the introduction of their song. `Freak on a leash'

)))))))))))))))))))))( (((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

The MC hovered in mid-air in the middle of the huge room, microphone in hand, as he got ready to do the final announcement.

"Now this was, in my opinion anyway, one exciting competition." The crowd cheered in response. "Now al we need to is pick a winner. The winner goes off with this year's `Battle-of-the-Bands' title and is called upon first anytime there is a concert and blah blah blah." He read of a card, not really caring at the moment.

"So whose it gonna be?!" he yelled "Hellfire?" he signaled over to said band, the crowd went wild, "or LostSouls?" he signaled to the other band, the cheering a screaming of the crowd intensified, the place shook as if it would crumble at that very moment.

"Well, it seemes we have a winner, the LostSouls!!!!"

The band high-fived and whatnot, celebrating their win. Kagome waved out a Ayame, who wore a semi-grim expression.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha went over to Kagome and lifted her arm to his gaze; the skin around the bandage was turning a slight purple colour. "C'mon" he said dragging her off-stage. None of the other members said anything, they only acted like nothing happened as to not worry the crowd.

000000000000000000000********************0000000000000000000000 0

"What's up?" Ayame asked as she joined the rest of the group in the first aid room.

"Not sure, they're examining it" Miroku answered

"What did she do?" Kouga asked, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"She pushed herself too hard" Sesshomaru answered. Then the door opened and the volunteer doctor came out with Kagome in tow. She had on a fresh cast, a sling and a scowl.

"So how long you think your gonna keep this one on?" Inuyasha asked

"Shut up" she bit out then walked off.

Tbc…..
