Welcome to the New Age

Oooh he makes me so livid! I want to purify his yokai ass sometimes! I know that many yokai survived to this age. That they are hidden in their clever guises. That they are content in letting the world believe them to be nothing more than fairy tales or things of nightmares. That makes me wonder if we ever managed to defeat Naraku... I hope we do.
I stomp away angrily as Kagome and Sango follow me. I can feel both of their anger but neither is anything major, anything like mine. If Koga comes back, he is so dead. I don't give a shit anymore. The three of us took a break from the past for a reason.
We walk to where the bands are playing. I shove my way to the front. Some people see my face and decide not to argue and just get out my way. They are the smart people. I suppose I will tolerate them as long as they don't do anything stupid. I'm not in the mood for stupid right now. I slump against the stage. Sango and Kagome quickly rush up to comfort me. I sigh.
What amazing friends I have. They always know what to say and/or do. I'm so lucky. Ten minutes later, SWPB comes on. Allan aka Jeremy Thirteenth's voice blares through the speakers.
"ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING READY?" He screams into the mic. They crowd cheers and screams. I scream my affirmation at the top of my lungs as does Kagome and Sango. Jeremy smiles. August starts playing his guitar and Bobo starts playing the bass. I know this song. I smile. The song is The End of Prom Night. I fucking love thi song. I get all hyped up. everyone in the crowd starts jumping. SWPS plays Kristy Killings, Serial Killer Girl, Down in the Morgue, and Zombie Romance. Jeremy thanks the crowd and they leave the stage. CC and I lock eyes. He pales suddenly and he gets Andy's attention. I hear him whispering something like: That's the girl! I shrug and shake my head.
"kagome? You okay?" She shakes her head and I pull her into a hug. Kagome cries on my shoulder. I sigh knowing it's about that asshole hanyo.
"Shh. Sshhh sis. Forget about the asshole. We're at a concert so let's enjoy ourselves okay?" Kagome looks at me with tears on her face. She nods with a small smile on her face. I wipe away her tears and we turn our attention back to the stage. I see the entire band looking at me and I blush. Why do they keep looking at me. I hide my face and peek through my fingers. They aren't looking at me anymore. I sigh in relief. Thank Jesus.
"Hey Tokyo! How's it going?" Andy screams into the microphone and I smile. Everyone screams. My face pales at the thought that they saw the scars on my arms from when I used to cut my arms. I shake my head. No they couldn't have. I hear the beginning notes of their song Unbroken. Fuck I love this song. I sing along with Andy as I wave my hand in the air. The bracelets feel nice on my arms and they hide the evidence. He looks at me and I look back. i blush and look away. The song ends and I feel a little sad. He starts singing Knives and Pens. The next two songs BVB plays are Perfect Weapon and Goodbye Agony. I feel a familiar tune and tears prick my eyes. I see Andy take a deep breath.
"I ruled the world
With these hands I shook the heavens to the ground
I laid the gods to rest
I held the key to the kingdom
Lions guarding castle walls
Hail the king of death

Then I lost it all
Dead and broken
My back's against the wall
Cut me open
I'm just trying to breathe
JUst trying to figure it out
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down
I said, "Then I lost it all."
And who can save me now?

I stood above
Another war
Another jewel upon the crown
I was the fear of men
But I was blind
I couldn't see the world there right in front of me
But now I can... (yeah)

'Cause I lost it all
Dead and broken
My back's against the wall
Cut me open
I'm just trying to breathe
Just trying to figure it out
Because I built these walss just to watch them crumbling down
I said, "Then I lost it all."
And who can save me now?

(oh)

I believe that we all fall down sometimes (oh)
Can't you see (can't you see it) that we all fall down sometimes? (oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh yeah)

I believe that we all fall down sometimes (oh)
(Can't you see, yeah) Can't you see that we all fall down sometimes? (yeah, we all, yeah, we all fall down)

Yeah

I believe that we all fall down sometimes
Yeah" I sing along wih Andy. Tears gush down my face. God, this song always gets to me. I furiously swipe at the tears. Andy's eyes are still locked on mine. Why? I'm nothing special. He doesn't even know me or my name so why? Andy thanks the crowd and the band wals off the stage. I don't remember much of Oceans Ate Alaska's performance even though I love that band so much. Sango finally shakes me out of my daze as Motionless in White comes on stage. Yes! I fucking love them. Thank the Kamis for Sango! I hope they play America.

Notes
