The Reason

Chapter 10 - Gigs and Band Practice

Last Time:

"I think a DJ would be good," Eri said.

"But a live band would be so cool!" Arimi said.

"She has a point. It'd be really nice to have a live band," Yuka said.

"But where are we gonna get the band?" Eri pointed out.

As if in response, they heard a distant sound of music before hearing lyrics.

`Teenage queen, a sweet gamine

immortal youth a libertine

is she real or just a dream

my heart beats fast like Benzedrine'

"Where is that coming from?" Eri said.

"Ladies. I've just solved our music problem." Kagome said.

*************************************************************** *********

After the little `incident' with the changing, the band went downstairs to practice, ignoring the `smells like wet dog comment' coming from Kagome's room. They started practicing with a song that they didn't write. They practiced "Cherry Bomb" by Ash. Yasuo was on drums, Kin was on the Bass, Inuyasha was on lead guitar, and Mina was second guitar. The intro began and then the words.

Teenage queen, a sweet gamine

immortal youth a libertine

is she real or just a dream

my heart beats fast like Benzedrine

every time that she walks by

sends shivers down my spine

makes me wanna die

she is out there on her own

perfection in her chromosomes

she walks by I need to know

her blood red lips as soft as snow

every time that she walks by

sends shivers down my spine

makes me wanna die

oh yeah, she's a cherry bomb

she's a bullet in my head

pull the trigger and I'm dead

uh uh uh oh, oh yeah

when she walks across the floor

electric shock and my heart is raw

is she real or just a dream

my heart beats fast like Benzedrine

every time that she walks by

sends shivers down my spine

makes me wanna die

oh yeah, she's a cherry bomb

she's a bullet in my head

pull the trigger and I'm dead

uh uh uh oh, oh yeah

(instrumental)

she's a cherry bomb

she's a bullet in my head

pull the trigger and I'm

she's a cherry bomb

dream about her in my bed

pull the trigger and I'm dead

uh uh uh oh, oh yeah

uh uh uh oh, oh yeah

uh uh uh oh, oh yeah'

As the last sounds died away. A new sound came to their ears. It was applause. And guess who was there? None other than Kagome and her weird friends. `So that's what they were doing here.' Kagome's friends thought, `So that's what they were doing here'.

"Wow! You guys are good!" Arimi said.

"Really!" Yuka said,

"Gotta admit, that'd be better than DJ" Eri said.

The band stood there and took their praise. "Thanks," Mina said sheepishly.

"Guys, this is Mina, Kin and Yasuo. You already know Inuyasha," Kagome said pointing in turn to each, "Eri Arimi and Yuka. This is their band, um…?"

"Next Week," Inuyasha replied.

"Will you play another song?" Eri said.

They shrugged and said, "Paper Heart?" and they began the song.

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run a-way
Catch you if I can

Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that I know
Moving on is, easiest when I am around you.

So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has past
The seasons go

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run a-way
Catch you if I can

Waiting, day to day it goes through
My lips, are sealed for her
My tongue is,
Tied to, a dream of being with you
To settle for less, is not what I prefer

So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has past
The seasons go

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run a-way
Catch you if I can

(Instrumental)

Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down, and so do I into
the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down, and so do I into
the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

During the song, the girls were talking amongst themselves. When they finished, there was another round of applause. Kagome said, "Would you wanna play the Valentine's Day dance at our school?"

"Sure" three of the band said.

"Wait! We wanna talk `bout it first!" of course the fourth member was Inuyasha. He didn't know what a dance was or was Valentine's Day. `Who was this Valentine, and why does he get a day?'

Mina sighed and quietly explained it to him. A look of understanding crossed his face and he said, "Keh! Whatever!"

"That means we'll take the gig" Mina replied.

"Okay! Great! Now that that's decided, I think we should go home." Eri said.

"Bye Kagome!" Arimi said.

"See ya later, Kag!" Yuka said,

"Bye!" Kagome replied as they left.
