OK here is the first chapter of my new story. I love music so I decided to make a music based fanfic. I worked really hard on this I hope u like it.
Disclamer-I dont own Naruto or the songs used in this fanfic.
Guitar picks and Love songs Chapter 1-Wanted: Guitarist
The music flowed through the club, people moved and danced to its rhythm. They shouted up to the band on stage, not noticing the teenager singing was paying them no attention.
The drummer Suigetsu smiled at the crowd, the base player Karin was looking at the raven haired boy singing and playing the guitar.
Sasuke let the music flow through him, letting out all the emotion he felt, he was in his own world as he performed.
Just a kid, just a fool
Always trying to play it so cool
So he did what he knew
He left home and he dropped out of school
He wanted fame, fame, fame
Even just a little bit a shame, shame, shame
He would sell his soul for it
Changed his name, never going to get it back now
Hes got money, but hes way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back home
Hes loaded and alone
Hes loaded and alone
Sasuke focused on the lyrics, the way the song flowed he let himself get lost in it, ignoring the pain that he felt hovering near the surface.
Still a kid, still a fool
Still trying to break all the rules
A big house, with too many rooms
An ego, to go with it too
He got his fame, fame, fame
More than just a little bit a shame, shame, shame
That he sold his soul over in
Changed his name, never going to get it back, no
Hes got money, but hes way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back home
Hes loaded and alone
Hes loaded and alone
He switched from singing to playing the guitar solo, doing both was a little harder, but there wasn't anyone else to play.
He got his fame, fame, fame
Such a shame, shame, shame
Hes got money, but hes way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back home
Hes got money, but hes way off track
So lonely that it makes him think back
To his family and his friends and the lady he left back home
Hes loaded and alone
Hes loaded and alone
He wanted fame, fame, fame
And such a shame, shame, shame
He got his fame, fame, fame
Such a shame, shame, shame
Yeah,
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sasuke let the song fade coming back to reality, cries of "The Hebi" were heard from the crowd. He thanked the crowd for coming than left with Karin and Suigetsu to go backstage.
The band all sat backstage, Suigetsu was drinking a bottle of water, Karin was busy staring at Sasuke and Sasuke himself was practicing a song on his guitar. Suigetsu looked around the room than at Sasuke.
"I think we need a new Guitar player."he said bravely "Why?" Karin asked. "We have Sasuke." "I know but, I think another band member would kinda even things out."
Karin quickly looked at Sasuke . "You don't want someone taking your place do you?"
"They wouldn't be taking my place, and anyway I don't think we really need another member." "Actually that's a great idea." A voice said from behind them.
They turned around to see Itachi the bands manager and Sasuke's older brother. "Another member would give the band a better image." "I'll arrange auditions and you three can pick our new guitarist."
"I'll hold the auditions next week." He said running out the door talking on his cell phone. They looked at eachother, then followed Itachi out to the limo.
The auditions were held two weeks later in an abandoned auditorium. The members of The Hebi and Itachi sat out in the audience watching and listening to the dozens of people who had heard about the auditions.
Sasuke sat in the audience judging the musicians. His honest opinion was that they all sucked. None of the people he'd seen were any good.
There was one more name on the list, he hoped they were better than the others he'd seen today."Naruto Uzumaki" he called.
Naruto sat backstage waiting for his turn to play. When he'd seen the flyer for auditons he new this was the chance he'd been waiting for.
The Hebi were one of his favorite bands. It was his dream to play with them. His own band Kitsune-9 fell apart, this was his chance and he wasn't going to mess it up. "Naruto Uzumaki" he heard called from the stage. He took a deep breath, walked onstage to the microphone and began to play.
Is it any wonder why I'm scared,
If I was a little younger would I
care,
feeling like the walls are growing stronger,
I don't know if this cage can hold me any longer
you never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
He looked at the band members, they were each looking at him with interest, they hadn't called him offstage yet so he knew he was doing well.
I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
I'm only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire, and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
He wrote this song when his parents died, he felt so distant from people then. Like they were slipping away from him. He didn't feel like himself, he felt like he was on the outside looking in.
I never thought they'd want me to go even faster,
never thought I took my foot off the gas,
everybody loves to be in on the pressure,
but I know they're all waiting for the crash
you never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded,
things have changed you've become a complication,
can make it through another days
humiliation
I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
I only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
He finished at the chorus, he looked at the band members, they started clapping. They whispered among themselves then Itachi walked up to him. "Congratulations Naruto, you are our new guitarist.
The blondes face lit up. "Yes yes I can't believe this yes" he screamed in his head. "Thanks this is awesome" he said instead so he wouldn't look like a total Idiot.
Itachi looked at his watch, "We'll be leaving in about two hours, you have time to go get your things." He looked at the band members than back at him "Sasuke will go with you."
He signaled over to Sasuke who walked over to him. "What Itachi?" "Go with our new band member to gather his things, come to the hotel when you're finished."
Sasuke looked at Naruto, the blonde smiled lightly Sasuke just frowned and looked away. "Alright come on." He said walking away.
Naruto followed out of the auditorium. "Don't you want to take a car?" Naruto asked. Sasuke stopped walking and looked at the blonde.
"Hn no I'd rather walk" "What if someone sees you?" "I really don't care; I don't think people around here have heard about us."
"But what about all those people who auditioned?" "They came from a lot of places." "Do you care about anything?"
Sasuke didn't answer him; he just stopped looking at the ground. "Um...Sasuke I'm sorry if I said something, I shouldn't have."
"Just, lead the way to your house dobe." Sasuke sneered. Naruto moved to walk in front of him not talking the rest of the way.
When they got to his apartment, Naruto ran inside to get his things. Curiosity getting the best of him Sasuke followed. As he looked around, he saw that Naruto's room looked like a disaster area.
Clothes were thrown everywhere, except for the one's Naruto was putting in his bag. There were ramen cups everywhere, and other things on the floor that he couldn't identify.
"Do you ever clean?" Sasuke asked from the doorway. "I do sometimes." The blonde said while stuffing things in his bag. Sasuke took another look around the room, "Well I don't believe you."
Sasuke looked around, his eyes stopped when they met something in Naruto's room that stood out. A single picture stood in a gold frame on his dresser with absolutely no clutter surrounding it.
He walked over to it, taking a closer look at it. It was a picture of a family, a smiling pink haired woman, an also smiling blonde haired man, and a little blonde boy in between them.
/This must be Naruto's family, but where are they?/ Naruto had stopped packing to look at the picture from behind Sasuke. "That's my mom and dad." Sasuke turned to look at him, startled that he'd spoken.
When he looked at him he noticed that he had a painded expression on his face and he looked like he was somewhere else lost in memories.
"They died when I was nine, they were murdered." Sasuke looked at the blonde then at the floor.
"Mine died too when I was seven, they where also murdered."
Naruto smiled a little,"I guess we found something we have in common." He picked up the picture, putting in his bag and zipping it, then slinging it over his shoulder.
"Come on lets go." He said walking out the door.
/He knows pain like me, mabey he'll be the one who finally understands me. / He walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind him.

Sasuke hated therapy, all his theripist Tsunade tried to do was get him to talk when he didn't want to. Why couldn't she just leave him alone?
If he wanted to talk he would of said something already. She told him that he'd feel better if he talked, he believed that was a lie.
How could talking make anything better? It just made things worse. How could expressing your feelings help you feel better? Tsunade, his theripist told him all this and in no way did he believe her. He sat in a chair across from Tsunade, straring out the window lost in his own thoughts as she ranted about communication.
"Sasuke?" "Sasuke, are you listening to me?" He looked at her, acknologing that her heard her, then turned back to the window.
She sighed. "Sasuke were not getting anywhere. Please won't you just talk."
"Why do you care?" he snapped at her. "I care because Im here to help you, Im not here just to make money."
"Hn" "Sasuke, I know you think no one cares about you but that's not true."
"Your brother cared enough to send you here."
"He doesn't care, he just doenst want me to go phsyco or something and quit the band." "If I did that then he wouldn't make any money which is all he cares about."
"Sasuke, he's your brother he cares about you." He turned his attention back to the window.
"Sasuke your not the only one who feels the pain of losing family." That murderer killed another family two years after yours." "There's someone else out there who shares your pain."
His mind flashed back to the picture of Naruto's family. "They were killed when I was nine."
Could he be..?
"There's someone who cares about you out there, find who they are." Tsunade continued. A knock at the door inturupted her, "Come in"
The door opened and Naruto walked through. "You are?" Tsunade asked raising an eyebrow. "oh Im Naruto."
"Oh you're the Hebi's new band member." "um yea, Itachi sent me to get Sasuke." Tsunade looked at Sasuke for a minute debating wheater to let him go or not. She sighed giving in. "Alright Sasuke you may go."
Sasuke got up abrubtly grabbing Naruto's wrist, pulling him out the door. He walked out of the building stopping at the entrance.
"Did Itachi send a car?" he asked looking around for a limo or a nice car. Naruto smiled, "No I decided I'd rather walk, besides you said you liked to walk rather than ride in a car."
Sasuke smiled a little, impressed that the blonde had actually remember something he'd mentioned. He walked ahead not wanting the dobe to see him smile.
"You remembered that?" "Of course I did friends remember stuff like that."
"Were friends?" "yea, well we should be we are in a band together." "That doenst make us friends." "Your friends with Suigetsu and Karin aren't you?"
"Hn, not really" Sasuke sneered. "Then why did you form a band together?"
Sasuke face darkened and he stopped walking. "It was Itachi's idea, he knew Suigetsu and Karin and he knew I loved music, so he decided to make us form a band for money."
"But in interviews you guys always seemed so clos, almost like family." "Acting." Sasuke hissed. "Do you even like them?
"Suigetsu's ok, I mean he is a good drummer." "Karin is a good base player but she has this annoying crush on me." "She's really hot you know." Naruto added wiggiling his eyebrows.
Sasuke started walking again. "Well you can have her if you want her." "Nah, I don't know her that well she's probably as annoying as you say." "Sasuke do you—
He was cut off when screams of "OMG it's Sasuke and Naruto! Filled his ears. They stopped, turning around slowly behind them a massive group of girls were screaming their names and comments of "marry me."
"Oh shit!" they said in unison. Naruto took Sasuke's hand and srarted running. Naruto ducked into an alley, dragging Sasuke with him.
The group of girls ran past them still screaming They slid down the wall.
"Do girls chace you often?" Naruto said trying to catch his breath. "Yea welcome to being a rock star." Naruto started laughing
"That was insane, I've never had a group of people chasing after me. Sasuke laughed, he thought it was funny that the blonde was truly excited about being chased by a group of rabid fangirls.
Naruto looked at him with an expression of total amazement plastered on his face. "wow that's the first time I've ever heard you laugh. You should do it more it makes you look cute.
Naruto blushed at his comment looking down. Sasuke blushed as well turning away to hide his scarlet face. "Shut up dobe, werent you asking me something?"
Naruto smiled "oh yea I was going to ask you if you've ever had a girlfriend." Sasuke shrugged.
"No I haven't, I've never wanted one. Girls just werent something I was interested in actually their kinda anoying." "Have you?"
"Yea I dated this girl about three years ago, but it didn't really work out." Sasuke watched a shadow cross over Naruto's features then vanish. Naruto smiled sudenlly his blue eyes shining. He stood up.
"Come on we better head back to the hotel, Itachi might be wondering where we are." They walked back to the hotel in silence looking around to make sure they werent being followed by screaming fans.
They slide into the hotel walking up to theur rooms. Suigetsu and karin were sitting in the lounge. Karin jumped up clinging to Sasuke.
"Where have you been Sasuke?" she whined. Suigetsu looked them over, "I bet they were somewhere making out."
They both turned scarlet. "Oh was I right?" "No your wrong, we were chased by crazy fans. Sasuke hissed at the blue haired boy.
"uh huh." "Well anyway if your looking for Itachi he had a meeting to go to."
"Of course" Sasuke said pushing past Karin and walking past him to his room.
"See you guys later." Naruto said following Sasuke.
Naruto sat In his room, playing the notes to one of his songs on his guitar. He heard a knock at the door. "Come in" the door opened and Sasuke walked in. Naruto laid his guitar to the side. He smiled "Hey Sasuke whats up?" "I came in here to give you the music fot the song were going to play next week. He held up a a few sheets of paper.
"But I like what you were just playing." He moved to sit beside Naruto on the bed. "Does it have lyrics?" "yea, Im not that good at writing lyrics but it has some." Naruto reached behind him to get his notebook. He opened it, flipped through a few pages until he reached the song he was looking for. Sasuke looked down at the lyrics.
"Last kiss goodbye?" He read over the page the looked back up at Natuto. "I like it, do you mind if we play it?" "you really want to play my song?" "yea I like it" "sure yea we can play it." "That's great, I'll Karin and Suigetsu this is what were going to play.
Naruto smile, his eyes widening. ""I cant believe you actually want to play my song!" "I thought you would say it sucked." Sasuke smirked "Why do you think I'd say ot sucked?" "I don't know I mean you are Sasuke, the lead singer in The Hebi. I figured your songs were wasy better than mine."
"dobe, I may say other things you do are stupid, but when it comes to music I give it a chance." "I never tell other artists that their music sucks, even If it does." "If I thought your song was suckish I would have asked if I could help you with it."
Naruto was shocked when it came to music Sasuke was kind, normally Sasuke could be cold but when it came to music he could nice. "Anyway, dobe your song needs to be perfected a little, but its good trust me.

Naruto sttood on stage, guitar in hand. He was nervous his stomach was doing flips. This was his first big performance with The Hebi, he was afraid he would mess up. This was his big break he could screw this up. He looked at Sasuke standing in fron of the microphone. Suigetsu signaled from the drums to start playing.
He moved his fingers along the guitar, he turned his attention to Sasuke when he heard him start singing.
