I know, I know, I should be working on my other stories, but this idea popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone!!!
Ok, did anybody else think that sounded really cliché?
Well, anyways, here's the story!

"So, everybody ready to show them bitches whose boss?"
"Fuck yeah!"
"When are we not, shithead?"
"That's one gay ass question!"
Now, any regular person probably would've flinched at the vulgar words being used so carelessly, but to the girls talking, it was nothing new. In fact, this was actually considered a decent conversation in their book.
For you see, this was coming from behind door 17, and located behind door number 17, was K.A.R.S.
"K.A.R.S., you guys are on in 5!"
"Screw ya!"
Nevertheless, the door opened and out walked four teenage girls.
"Ok," one of them, obviously the leader, said. "Let's get out there an' show them bastards some real talent, unlike them whore bands that play here 24/7." She shuddered. "Ugh…I'll never look at underwear the same way again."
The others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yeah," another one stated, "I tell ya, I dun think I'll be able to look at females the same way again."
"K.A.R.S., you guys are on in 2!"
"Shut the fuck up!" the first girl shouted back. "We can tell time!"
Out on the stage stood a tiny, green, wrinkled, eh…toad, looking, thing.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat impatiently, "Can I have everybody's attention?" His voice was high and nasally, and the band backstage flinched at the annoying sound.
Everybody in the audience turned their heads to face him at the exact same time, making a large sweat drop appear on his ugly forehead.
He cleared his throat again, this time nervously.
"Ah, yes, well, first, I would like to welcome you all to Himojiiomoi Restaurant.We are all very pleased that you have decided to come here out of all of the thousands of other, better, less expensive restaurants in town." He chuckled at his own joke, but everybody else was quiet.
"Anyway, I'm sure you all know the legend of how this restaurant got its name. If you don't, you're going to learn. You see, my grandfather was the founder of this wonderful restaurant. It was the year 1783, and he had been passing through, when suddenly, he was hungry. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun shone brightly on him, almost making him go permanently blind-"
"Get on with it!" Came a voice from the crowd, followed by cries of "Yeah!" and "Hurry it up old man!"
Jaken had to duck as somebody threw their half-full soda can at him.
"Ok, ok! Here is the newest band in town, K.A.R.S.!" but, when Jaken said the name, he said it sounding like "cars" instead of the initials K.A.R.S.
"It's K.A.R.S., dickhead!" said the leader as she walked out onto the stage, followed closely by the other band members. "Do we look like mechanical transportation vehicles dat drive on roads to ya?!"
Jaken started shaking as the she walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar, for she was much bigger and stronger than he was.
"N-n-n-no…" he stuttered.
"Good. Now get outta my sight." She dropped him roughly on the ground, and chuckled darkly when he squeaked in terror and stumbled quickly away.
Everybody was watching with wide eyes and open jaws. Save for the rest of the band. They were merely chuckling just as the leader was as they watched the toad demon scramble away.
They started laughing harder when they heard Jaken mumble to himself, "Does my head really look like a penis?" (A/n: I was laughing so hard when I wrote this...)
Now, Jaken was on the other side of the room when he said this, so how did the girls hear him? Well, let me explain…
Kagome Higurashi (A.k.a. Silver) – She is the leader of the band (lead singer and keyboardist) that has had most of the dialogue so far and terrorized the small toad demon who mispronounced her band's name. She was kicked out of her house by her father at the young age of six, with nothing but the clothes on her back and a small bag of valuable possessions she had managed to pack before her father had banished her. Kagome had taken refuge in the forest behind her house, and had run with the wildcats that lived there for almost five years. Unfortunately, she had been caught one night by the Wildlife Protection Association, who had then took her in; for she had the raging temper of a wildcat and an animalistic aura around her. They kicked her out after a while though, because she couldn't be controlled. By that time, her nails and canine teeth had grown longer; her senses sharper; and her instincts much more like an animal. She considered going back to the wildcats, but was instead taken in by Bankotsu and his six brothers; known as The Band of Seven. There, she was taught all fighting skills she would ever need to know in her entire lifetime. It was also where she learned to "talk the talk", which is now the only way she talks. She occasionally visited the wildcats though, to make sure she still kept her teeth, nails, senses, and instincts like an animal.
Sango Ketsudan (A.k.a. Magenta) - She is Kagome's best friend. She plays electric guitar, which Kagome taught her how to play. Her dad had died when Sango was six, right after remarrying. Sango's stepmother had hated her the moment she set eyes on her, and vice-versa. When Sango was old enough to move out of the house, she didn't, because she had to stay for Kohaku's sake. Soon though, Kohaku needed crucial surgery done, because of a brain tumor, but they didn't have enough money. Sango was already working three jobs, and doing whatever else she could to earn money. She even dropped out of school, but it wasn't enough. Therefore, Sango went to work for Onigumo "Restaurant", or more commonly known as a bar/whorehouse. She sold herself to pay for her brother's surgery, but it wasn't good enough. Her brother died soon after. After that, her stepmother kicked her out of the house, calling her a whore and a slut. Sango stayed homeless for a while, so she learned to "talk the talk", and her senses heightened as well. Until her former boss, (she quit when her brother died) Naraku, heard about her dilemma and offered her a place to stay. The catch? She had to work at the "restaurant" for free, but this time, she wasn't a waitress.
Ayame Yasuragi (A.k.a. Scarlet) – Ayame plays the bass guitar, which Kagome taught her to play as well. Ayame is a wolf demon, so she just has naturally better senses than most people do. Nothing seriously horrible or life changing happened to Ayame until about the 6th grade. (A/n: Jeez, six is just not a good number, is it?) Her house caught fire, and all of her family members were inside at the time. None of them managed to escape, except her grandfather. However, he was too old and frail to take care of her, so he sent her to an orphanage. The orphanage, however, did not take in demons, but Ayame's grandfather did not know this. So, when Ayame got there, the orphanage turned their backs on her and told her to get out. She was on the streets for about six weeks, before an old woman found her and took her in. However, six weeks was long enough for Ayame to learn to "talk the talk", just as Sango and Kagome do. Ayame was staying with the old woman when she met the rest of the band.
Rin Zakyou (A.k.a. Yellow) – She plays the drums and sings back up as well. She had a wonderful family, but when she was 16, there was a terrorist attack on her city, and she barely managed to escape. Fortunately, she had some cousins who lived in another town, so she went to go live with them. When they heard about the attack, they sent her the money for transportation and food, and extra for anything else she would need. On the way there though, Rin was kidnapped by wolf demons and taken hostage. Unfortunately, she comes from a rather poor family, so her living relatives did not have enough for the ridiculously high ransom the wolves wanted. Therefore, wolves kept her as their "toy" and had their way with her. They led her around on a leash, and the clothes they gave her to wear were at least three sizes too small. Rin tried to escape numerous times, but it wasn't until the sixth try that she was successful. She ran; she just ran. She ran all the way to her cousins' house, still in clothes three sizes too small and with a metal leash around her neck. They ushered her in and welcomed her with big smiles and warm hugs. They had a mini family reunion, and Rin couldn't be happier. Rin was also with someone, just as Ayame was, when she met the band.
When they all met at Onigumo "Restaurant", Kagome was sneaking around in the kitchens, trying to find some leftovers or something to bring back to her "family".
Sango had been pole dancing, but she had been taking a break from the job when she caught Kagome in the kitchen.
There had been a screaming match going on between the two when Rin and Ayame rushed in at the same exact time, intent on finding out what all the yelling was about.
Sango and Kagome had stopped the fight when they noticed the two other females in the kitchen.
There was silence as everybody just stared at one another; Sango, in her skimpy gray mini skirt, black high heels, magenta halter, and a black top hat; Rin, in her yellow sundress, wooden sandals, and cute sunflower purse; Ayame, in her blue jeans, scarlet tank top, and white running tennis shoes; and Kagome, in her baggy, ripped, black shorts, silver and black "Depeche Mode" t-shirt, and black and red chucks.
"Hi," Rin suddenly said, sticking her hand out as though offering a handshake. "My name's Rin. I came to the restaurant with my cousins, and I ran in here to find out what all the noise was about."
Sango stepped forward; wobbling a little on her high shoes, and shook Rin's hand in greeting. "Hullo Rin, my name is Sango."
Rin smiled brightly.
"Nice to meet you, Sango!"
Sango stepped back as Ayame came forward and shook Rin's hand enthusiastically. "Hey Rin, the name's Ayame, and I'm here with my grandma. I came in here to find out what all dat yellin' was about too."
Rin shook back eagerly, but she couldn't help but notice that Sango and Ayame talked a little different than a normal Japanese person would.
She merely shrugged it off and told herself she was imagining things. It wasn't until Kagome came forward that Rin could clearly detect a change in the way anybody talked.
"Hullo Rin, name's Kagome. I haven't seen ya around in these here parts, an' I go around these parts everyday. Are ya new? 'Cuz lemme say, I dun think I'd ever forget a face that cheerful, 'specially 'cuz all them bitches around here are all so fuckin' gloomy. I mean, lighten up! We have all this good shit 'round here, an' everyone's sittin' 'round talkin' 'bout how their lives suck an' whatnot, an' how they want to kill themselves. An' I jus' tell 'em "Well, then do it already!" So, a course, they go an' get all 'ffended an' crap."
Kagome shook her head in exasperation.
"Well, anyways, I 'riginally came in here to steal some food an' shit, but I dun think that's gunna happen now."
Rin looked shocked.
"How-" she started to ask, but was cut off when a deep, malicious sounding voice called, "Sango! Get your ass back in here!"
Sango sighed.
"Comin' Naraku!" she answered back.
She turned to face the rest of the girls.
"Sorry, but when Naraku calls, ya better be ready, or you're gunna be in some deep shit."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just as Sango turned around to leave, she heard Kagome call, "Hey, Sango!"
Sango spun around to face Kagome.
"Yeah?"
Kagome smirked slyly.
"Would Naraku be mad if ya decided to quit?"
Sango stared at Kagome in disbelief.
"Are you fuckin' crazy?! 'Course he would!"
Kagome's grin got even bigger and more devilish.
"Well, what if ya ran away? He couldn't be mad at ya, 'cuz he wouldn't know where ya are."
Sango looking questioningly at Kagome.
"What are ya planning bitch?"
"I'll tell ya, but first, answer me this. Do ya wanna learn how to play an instrument? As in, one of them shiny ones that all them famous bastards use and get rich offa?"
Sango pondered it for a moment and was about to answer when Ayame suddenly cut in.
"Sure as hell do! I mean, who wouldn't wanna learn how to play one of them fancy metal things them famous dickwads play and get rich, even when they suck ass?"
"Good point." Rin remarked, still a little shocked at the causality that the other girls used such vulgar words. "I do believe I wish to learn how to play an instrument."
"Why not?" Sango said, shrugging her shoulders. "Not like I got anythin' better to do with my life."
Kagome smiled cunningly, before turning to Rin and saying, "Rin, hun, ya gotta learn howta "talk the talk" before I can teach ya how to play an instrument."
Rin was confused.
"What's "talk the talk"?" She asked.
"It's the street lingo we all use," Kagome pointed out. "Mostly just the people in the alleyways and some of the beggars use it. And, Rin, sweet, we can't have you talkin' all fuckin' educated and crap if ya gunna join the band, k?"
"But, where am I going to learn how to "talk the talk"?" Rin questioned.
"Hun, ya got three people here who can "talk the talk" fluently, and if we're all gunna be in a band, we're gunna be spendin' alotta time together. I'm sure ya will pick up the talk soon enough."
"Ok." Rin agreed.
"Hey, Kagome?" Sango asked after everyone was silent for a while.
"Wadda ya want, ya little slut?"
"Mind tellin' me how ya plannin' on bustin' me outta here?"
"Well…"

Ok, this time, I am not looking for a certain number of reviews, but if nobody says anything, then I'll figure that nobody likes it and won't do anything with it. So, just tell me what you think!
B.T.W. Next chapter will be still in flashback mode. I repeat, next chapter will start in flashback mode, right where this chapter left off.
Lots o' love,
KIAKH
P.S. It's so much fun to type the street lingo. :)
