At the Restaurant
"Why did you invite us all here?" asked Kakashi. Currently, they were all sitting at random tables in the restaurant by team. Joe was sitting with Team 8. Jessie was with Team 10 and Christy joined Team 7.
"Well, since we're all here I might as well tell you. We're here to sing karaoke!" Christy said enthusiastically. Everyone wasn't too happy, to say the least. Half of them were glaring at her and the other half was staring at her with a blank expression.
"Well, fine then. If you're not going to sing then I'll go first." Christy said angrily as she walked up to the stage.
"I would like to dedicate this to someone I may have hurt over the course of my life. In hopes of obtaining forgiveness, I have chosen this song…" A slow piano song started. Everyone's thought were the same 'Great, some sappy love song…' Right after they thought that, a hard rock beat mixed with the piano. 'What the…?'
"This is me for forever,
one of the lost ones.
The one without a name,
without an honest heart as compass."
"Wasn't expecting that," commented Kiba.
"I was," replied Joe.
"This is me for forever,
one without a name.
These line the last endeavor,
to find the missing lifeline."
The beat picked up again.
"She's good," Ino said as she took a bite of her food.
"Yup," Tara answered as she clung to Asuma. "But she always denies her talent in anything." Poor Asuma's attempts to get her off are in vain.
"Why?" asked Choji.
"Dunno."
"Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope Id give my everything"
The beat slows down again.
My flower, withered between Walk the dark path
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
"Why is she singing this song?" asked Kurenai.
"Because she likes it," Joe answered bluntly.
"I sense a reason other than that." said Shino.
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope Id give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name forevermore
As the song went into the instrumental part, most people were trying to figure out why she was singing this song. The figured she'd be singing some happy song about a pointless ultra-fantasy or something. Just not... this. But just who was it dedicated to? There are just some things a person can't know.
Nemo sailing home...
Nemo letting go...
'Maybe I should sing something for Sasuke' Sakura thought deamily. She started fantasizing about her singing something that makes him realize his feelings for her. Then they start dating and soon they get married and grow old together...
Inner Sakura: Oh yeah! He'll be MINE!
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope Id give my everything
On the other side of the room, Ino was having the same thoughts. All she had to do was find the perfect song...
Oh how I wish
for soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
and all for once
Nemo my name forevermore...
The song ended and the music faded out. The room bursted with applause. "Thank you," Christy said shyly as she bowed slightly then walked off the stage.
"That was really good!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Thanks Naruto!" Christy said smiling.
"Who was it for?"
"Secret," She replied holding a finger on her lips to enphesize her point.

"Come on guys! We have to show them that we're better!" Ino said enthusiastically.
Silence...
"Really, you guys have no enthusiasm..."
"..."
"We're better than them and we have to prove it! Shikamaru, go over there and prove it!"
"Why me?" he asked.
"Because I say so."
"Fine, you're so troublesome..."
'Yes! now I have more time to think of a song to sing for Sasuke!'
"Ino, what do I sing?" This broke Ino out of her daze.
"Huh?"
"I asked you what song do I sing," Shikamaru repeated.
"I don't know pick something."
"Whatever..." With that, he turned and walked toward the stage. "Er, yeah, I guess I'll dedicate this to my teammate, who forced me sing. And my parents too I guess. I hope you're happy now."
Everyone turned their heads toward Ino. She was blushing like mad. Did Shikamaru like Ino? And since when?
Inner Sakura: Sasuke's mine now for sure!
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Ooh, so that's what he meant! Everyone slapped their foreheads with a "Duh!" This made much more sense then him liking her. They would rather make dollars than cents!
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
Inner Sakura: Darn it! Why couldn't he sing her a love song or something! Rawr!
Can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
has fallen apart right in front of you
Ino was still red, not from embarrassment, but from anger and annoyance. He is so dead.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be...
The song faded out and was the applause louder than before. "Thanks," Shikamaru walked off the stage towards the table where his teammates were.
"That was great!" Choji exclaimed.
"I never know you could sing," commented Asuma. Yes, Jessie was still clinging to him.
"Shikamaru..." Ino was trembling... with rage.
This is the part where Shikamaru is sevierly injured. Don't worry, Asuma held her back before she can rip his arms off and beat him to death with them. There isn't too much pain...
So this was only the beginning of the strange night where all dignity would be thrown out the window. The owner of this karaoke bar welcomes you...
