Author's Chapter Notes:
I do not own the song's

Kagome rolled over and she slammed her hand down on her Alarm Clock. She let out a yawn and she sat up, She smiled when she saw Sango coming to as well. Kagome Showered and she came back into her room, While Sango took a shower Kagome dressed for School and she gathered her books. When Sango came back in Kagome smiled and she handed her some clothes, "Your uniforms won’t be in for a while, So you can wear mine." Sango smiled and she quickly dressed, She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and she grabbed her bag. Both girls walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Annie smiled as she set Breakfast on the table, "Sango I need to know, Can you read and write?" Sango smiled as she sat down, "Yes, I learned when I was a child, The only thing I cant do is numbers" Kagome smiled, "Don’t worry I will help you."

After Breakfast the girls left the shrine, Giggling and laughing. When they reached the school, Ayumi, Eri and Yuka walked up to them. "Hi Kagome" Ayumi raised an eyebrow, "Who is the new girl?" Kagome smiled as she linked her arm with Sango’s, "Guys this is Sango, She is my new Sister." Kagome was relived to find that Sango was welcomed immediately by her friends. In fact her teacher and the rest of her class welcomed Sango. It had been explained earlier that Sango didn’t do math very well and Kagome had volunteered to teach her. So the teacher sat Kagome and Sango next to each other and near the front of the classroom.

The week seemed to fly by and before Kagome and Sango knew it, It was the weekend. As they girls walked up the steps to the shrine, They were shocked to find Annie, Talking to a young man. When the man saw Kagome he smiled, "Kagome my dear, you probably don’t remember me, I am a friend of your mother’s…why I haven’t seen you since you were 5." Kagome smiled, "I remember you, welcome back to the shrine David." The girls walked inside and they sat in the kitchen with David and Annie. David smiled as he leaned back in his chair, "I have come to the shrine to tell you the fantastic news I am sure you have heard of the club Hot wire, In downtown Tokyo." Kagome nodded and she smiled, "How could I not know about it, Hot Wire is one of the hottest clubs in Tokyo, All thought because of the provocative Dancing, Only Certain people are allowed in it."

David smiled, "Well I am now the new owner of Hot Wire, I am changing it and there is going to be a special opening for V.I.P Members, which mostly consist of the men and women who will be funding the Club. I am going to base the club on singing and dancing, I came to ask you Kagome, if you would sing their. The meeting is tomorrow night. If all goes as planned, Then the club will be a giant hit." Kagome thought for a moment and then she nodded, "I would love to sing for you." David smiled and he stood, "Be there at 7 tomorrow night. I will see you all then." After David had left Annie let out a squeal, "Oh Kagome you’re finally going to get the chance to sing." Kagome smiled brightly "I feel like I’m dreaming."

That night Kagome, Sango and Annie sat on the floor in Kagome’s room. Kagome smiled and she pulled a box out from under her bed, "Ive been saving this for just this occasion." Kagome opened the box to reveal a pair of black heels and a red dress. Annie smirked and she leaned into the bed, "You’re going to do beautifully Kagome, I just know it." The following night, Kagome stood in her room with Sango, Sano’s mouth fell open as Kagome twirled in front of her mirror. She wore a Knee length red halter Dress trimmed in Black, Black heels and a thigh length leather black jacket. "Wow Kagome, You look Beautiful…Can I do your hair?" Kagome nodded and she knelt on the floor. Sango Pulled Kagome’s hair back into a messy bun and she allowed a few strands of hair to fall around Kagome’s face and shoulders. Kagome tied a piece of red ribbon around her neck and she smiled. Sango was dressed in tight black pant’s, black calf high boots, a tight red button up shirt and a knee length black jacket.

When she walked down stair’s Annie nearly burst into tears. "Kagome you’re so beautiful." Kagome smiled and she checked her watch, "Sango and I are gonna go on ahead, I will meet you backstage afterwards" Annie nodded and she smiled as Kagome and Sango walked out of the shrine. When they arrived at the Club David met them outside, "I’m glad you made it, both of you look beautiful, Now there has been a change of plan. They want to hear Kagome first and then they want to hear the both of you sing." David walked off and Sango’s eyes went wide, "Kagome, I don’t know if I can." Kagome turned and she took a deep breath, "When your on stage you cant see the people because of the lights. It will be just me and you, You will be fine." Sango nodded and they walked into the club. Kagome took her jacket off and she handed it to Sango. Annie and Souta walked into the club as Kagome walked onto the stage. She bowed respectfully to the men and women and she smiled when the music began to start. Kagome closed her eyes and she began to sing,

Well she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losing end
Some folks whispered,some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no was about
On Independence Day

Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky the 4th of July
by the time that the fireman came
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
is a day of reckoning
let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

When the song ended, Kagome could hear the men and women whispering. She prayed that was a good sign. Sango walked onto the stage and she bowed towards the men and women, Kagome spoke softly, "This is my sister Sango, She will be singing here with me, if all goes well."

The music started and Sango began to sing,


{Sango} I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

{Both} Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Kagome then took over,


{Kagome} I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

{Both} Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

{Kagome} I watched you die
{Sango} I heard you cry every night in your sleep
{Kagome} I was so young
{Sango} You should have known better than to lean on me
{Kagome} You never thought of anyone else
{Sango}You just saw your pain
{Kagome} And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

{Both} Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

The song ended and David walked onto the stage. The leader of the group stepped onto the stage and he smiled, "That was amazing, IF you girls could open tomorrow night for a real audience, we will see how it goes. I cant say this on the record just yet but….I think you have yourself an act" Kagome and Sango hugged each other and they squealed. Annie came onto the stage with the men left and she hugged the girls, "That was absolutely Amazing."

Kagome smiled, "I can’t wait until tomorrow night, I have a feeling Tomorrow night is going to bed very memorable"

Sango smiled and she nodded in agreement…They were right in more ways then one
