Kitsune: First fic, Broken by Seether w/ Amy Lee

Kagome was tunning her bass guitar while the rest of her group were always intending to their instruments. Her grayish blue eyes looked over to her best friend, Sango, who was also playing bass guitar as well. Her raven black hair was tied in a ponytail as her dark brown eyes were narrowed in concernation.

Kagome's eyes then focused on the red-haired girl, Ayame, who was another one of her friends. Her red hair in ponytails while her emerald green eyes sparkle playfully as she testing out her new drum set.

Talking and vocalizing was going on in the back of the room as Kagome looked at Shippou, who was trying to get his part right as Clef was going over it with them. Shippou also played bass, but he also helps write the songs with their songwriter and keyboardist, Clef writes.

Shippou had his reddish brown hair tied in a ponytail while his emerald green eyes were focus on the lyrics while Clef had long ivory white hair that went to her waist and pointy dog ears that twitch ever so slightly. Her dark amber eyes were focus on sheet of music as she went over with it with Shippou.

"Are you guys done back there?" asked Kagome with michevious smirk on her face. Shippou blushed a light shade of pink while Clef just giggled at his blush.

Shippou gave everyone a copy of the new song except for Clef, who had the orginal copy with her. Ayame had a small smirk on her face as she notice that she had a drum solo in the song.

Shippou put his guitar straps over his shoulder as he tried out the sound of his guitar before he started singing his low baritone voice.

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

The girls were shock at the sound of Shippou's voice. He seemed to grab the sadness of the lyrics with his voice. While he continued singing with Kagome who joined in with him.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel light when you're gone away

Kagome silently took a breath while Shippou got a break from singing for a bit. Kagome sing the lyrics by herself.

The worst is over now and we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

The group appeared to getting into the song even though they are the ones who are playing. Shippou and Kagome went back to singing together in harmony.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Sango did her guitar solo and then Ayame followed up with her drum solo. As Shippou and Kagome finishing up the song, not noticing about their audience that was in the room with them.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel light when you're gone away

They heard clapping coming from infront of them and notice that their manager and also Kagome's older sister, Midoriko was listening to them same with the two managers of the group called Youkai, InuTaisho Mino, who was Clef's father and Myoga.

Kagome turns towards her group and stated happily, "That's a wrap!" Getting cheers from her fellow members and friends, they pack up their stuff and went their separate ways.
