Kagome, almost out of breath from screaming and singing, grabbed the mike back out of Ayame's hand and said into it, panting, "Ok, ok. We all know what a good song that is-" there was squawk of indignation from Kikyo, but no one paid her any mind "But I think-" pant "That you're all goin' to like this next song-" deep breath "A lot more."

The alley girl nodded to her other band members, who immediately scurried back to their respectful instruments while Kagome turned back to the audience and stated, "Now, this next song-" another pant "Is dedicated to anyone who's ever felt this way-" deep breath "and I know that ya all have. We present "Teenagers"."

The ebony-haired keyboardist positioned the microphone more securely in her hands, took her third deep breath, and sang the first two words, after which Sango immediately started a low, catchy tune on her guitar.

(Italics is lyrics)

They're gunna clean up your looks
With all the lies and the books
To make a citizen out of you.

Kagome's voice was deep, and the audience could've mistaken her for a guy if they didn't know what she looked like.

Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you do.

The beat of the song was pretty catchy, and some teenage boys in the back started bobbing their heads to the tune.

Rin grabbed hold of her drumsticks and started a slow, rhythmic beat on the bass drum as she too started nodding her head to the music.

The lead singer's voice started getting a little louder now, and her fingers started twitching on the hand she held the microphone in.

Because the drugs never work
They're gunna give you a smirk
'Cause they've got methods of keeping you clean.

The alley girl's voice got a bit louder again, and Ayame prepared to start strumming her bass guitar.

They're gunna rip off your head
You're aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine.

Rin played a fast-paced little beat on her drums, and Kagome lifted her head from where she had kept it down the entire song so far, a crazed look in her eyes.

Ayame waited until after the keyboardist sang the first line of the chorus, and then she too started playing hard and fast, as did Sango.

They said all
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me.
They could care less,
As long as someone'll bleed.
So darken your clothes,
And strike a violent pose.
Maybe they'll leave you alone,
But not me!

The instruments once again got quiet, and the wild look in Kagome's eyes vanished as her gaze was turned to her red and black chucks again.

Ayame stilled the sound coming from her bass guitar, and Sango and Rin's instruments were playing a slow, steady rhythm.

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gunna fit in much, kid.

But if you're troubled and hurt
What you've got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did!

Once more, the alley girl's head snapped up, the wild look in her eyes returning full force, although this time with a bit of anger.

The tune sped up and got louder and heavier, making the glass windows shake.

They said all...

By this time, the audience knew the chorus, and they hollered along with the band, making the floor vibrate. People even stood up and started jumping up and down while doing "rock on" signs with their fingers and bobbing their heads.

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me!
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed!
So darken your clothes,
And strike a violent pose.
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me!

Ooooh yeah!!!

There was a long stretch of just heavy instrumentals, and Kagome stood by, tapping her foot impatiently and checking her wrist every now and then, as though one would check a wristwatch to see what time it was.

Eventually, the keyboardist jumped back to the center of the stage and sang the chorus again, occupied by just Rin and her drums now.

They said all
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me.
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed.
So darken your clothes,
And strike a violent pose.
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me.

By this time, everyone in the entire restaurant (save for Kikyo and I.M.K.S) was on their feet, jumping and screaming and singing along with the band, acting as one would at a rock concert, not a fancy diner.

"All together now!" Kagome cried, even though there was no need to as Sango and Ayame rejoined with their instruments.

Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me!
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed!
So darken your clothes
And strike a violent pose.
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me!

The alley girl then screamed deeply into the microphone something that sounded suspiciously like "Bwuah!!!" and then shouted "One more time!!!"

Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me!
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed!
So darken your clothes
And strike a violent pose.
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me!

Kagome tore the microphone away from her lips as Sango played a snazzy beat on her guitar and Rin ended the song with a low "Boom!" that rang through the restaurant and pounded in everyone's skulls.

Out of breath and sweat-coated, the lead singer was a wreck. But when everyone jumped up and down as hard as they could and applauded until they were they ones out of breath and sweat-coated, the alley girl was able to sweep her arm across her stomach and bow deeply, much like she did after the first song K.A.R.S. played.

Still very much out of breath, Kagome placed the microphone back on its stand and wiped her sweaty palms on her baggy, chain-covered shorts.

"Well-" pant "I can see that all ya bitches enjoyed that song-" deep breath "An' I also wanna say-" pause "That K.A.R.S. was only suppose' to play two songs tonight-" a long chorus of booing came from the crowd and the keyboardist stuck out her hand to silence them. "But, because I can see ya all wan' some more-" pant "We will be playin'-" deep breath "One more song."

Everyone whistled and shouted happily, and Kagome wiped her eyebrow hastily, shaking the sweat off of her hand after she did so.

Sango sauntered over to the lead singer as though she had all the time in the world, but when she spoke, the guitarist's voice was fast-paced and nervous. "Oi, whore, what the hell are ya doin'? We were only goin' to play two songs. What other songs are we suppose' to play?"

Kagome shook her head slightly. "We're playin' "Nobody's Home".

Sango looked a bit surprised for a moment, but then shrugged and said, "Ok then." She ushered Ayame and Rin over to where they were all crowded in a circle, and Rin asked, "What song are we playin'?"

"Nobody's Home." Kagome answered swiftly. "Now come on, we gotta play somethin' or else the crowd's gunna get antsy."

Yeah, yeah, the chapter wasn't very long, I haven't updated in a while, and I.M.K.S. didn't show up. Suck it up. XD Well…I'm sorry I haven't updated, and…school sucks.

Disclaimer: I don't own the song "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance (although I do have their t-shirt from when I went to their concert, and every CD they've ever come out with, and a poster, and the wristband I wore to the concert a month ago. XD Oh yeah, and confetti off of the floor from the concert.)

Peace out,
