A Promise

It was a promising day, Sakura concluded as she looked outside her window. It was funny, a few years ago, she wouldn't be this carefree…

Flashback

"Where are you going forehead girl?" a tall redheaded girl stood before her sneering.

"A-a-way f-from...y-you!" Sakura tried to make it sound harsh but everyone around her just heard it as a small whimper and started to laugh.

"Away from us? Oh, don't be like that! We're your family now…" another girl purred smirking wickedly down at her.

Sakura looked down at her bruised arms and legs. 'kami-sama, kami-sama help me!' she cried in her head as tears fell down her face.

"What a cry baby! Stop crying you dimwit and stand up! Listen to your new older sisters!" the third girl shouted slapping her face.

But she couldn't do anything…one against three…all of them twice her size…

End of Flashback

Sakura snapped out of her flashbacks when she heard a loud crash downstairs. 'Uh...oh' she thought sighing irritated as she made her way down the flight of stairs.

The sight didn't shock her as much. A few broken plates, an unconscious Ino and a terrified Hinata. Next to Sakura was Tenten who had also made her way towards the noise.

"I don't even want to know what happened." She muttered stepping over Ino and preparing her usual 'Nutri-grain' cereal for breakfast. "W-w-well…I sorta thought she was someone else…you know sneaking around my cooking…and you know how I get when someone tries to steal my meals…" Hinata tried to reason out.

Sakura was still standing where she was, smiling at Hinata. These people weren't her evil 3 step sisters. These were her best friends who had helped her escape from them.

"It's okay Hinata...Ino will forgive you." Sakura laughed as Hinata looked at her with a pale face. "I hope so." She murmured going back to her 'ramen' that she was cooking. Sakura sighed and finally prepared her usual breakfast; toast. Why toast? It was easy to make and well…yeah. It was easy to make.

But they weren't average girls who ate simple daily breakfast. When the clock striked six, they would hop into their limo with their normal concert clothes on and sing their hearts out to anybody who'd listen.

Mind you, every body listened. Everyone loved them and wanted them to keep singing till 12am when the concert was scheduled to finish. Whenever they stepped onto the stage, there were always ear-splitting screams and praises that awaited them. Love-heart eyes were sent to them and posters/signs saying 'We –heart- You Tear Drop Kunoichi!!!' from their fanboys. Wow. It was the bomb man!

But their lyrics were another story. It was written about their past that all dated back when they were young.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Hinata Hyuuga. Let's start off with her first.

A petite, tiny girl with short, dark-violet hair (A/N is it dark violet? Not very good with colours XD) and a mix between pearly white and lavender eyes. She wore a skirt that only passed a little above the knee and a snowy white jumper that almost blended in with her own pale skin. And her shoes, were lavender doll shoes that matched her singlet that was hidden underneath her jacket. She was a sweet and caring girl who treasured everyone around her, basically.

She was usually known as the pianist in the band. But sometimes, when they had to perform a soft rock song, they would use her voice in the background to make it more meaningful.

Every band member had a song of their own. And Hinata's song was made when she was disowned by her dad. It was a song that they only sang for her birthday because when every year passed, she felt herself growing stronger.

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things i wanna do?
'But it hurts when you disapprove all along

The song 'Perfect' was the entire truth. He had disapproved all along about her soft and gentle attitude. He wanted her to be strong and cold hearted so that she could one day become the leader of the Hyuuga Corps.

And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

He had tried his best. And she had tried her best. But then she finally found out that no one could change her into a cold-hearted girl.

(Chorus)
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

She wasn't perfect. Like her dad wanted her to be.

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

It was painful to leave her dad. But he was the one that disowned her so…

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

She decided to walk her own path with her friends.

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'I'm not perfect dad.' Hinata thought as the melody played inside her head.

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
'Cuz you don't understand

'You don't understand anything at all…'

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's too late and
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'About the word…'

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's too late and
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

"Perfect." She mumbled as she finished cooking her ramen.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Next was the lead singer! Sakura Haruno that specialised in guitar and whom also played the piano!

She was a little taller than Hinata and oddly had (natural!) pink hair with bright emerald eyes. She also had a forehead (that used to be large) that sent her terrible images of the past. Sakura usually wore red T-shirts or singlets with ¾ jeans. This came with her black jumper that flowed right down above her knee and to finish off her usual outfit, was her black converse with red laces.

She also had a feisty inner that, ahem, kinda thought the opposite of her.

She and Ino were usually the ones that had chocolate hearts in their lockers because of their curves. But she didn't take advantage of that, really. Her life was all about music. Beauty and Love wasn't a part of that.

And this was her song…

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

Yes she felt like breaking down. Yes she was always out of place! She never fitted into that orphanage. She never belonged there. And right from the very start, she felt like running away. But all she could do was lock herself in her room and listen to her only companion; music. She turned it up so loud that no one ever thought twice that she was actually screaming and sobbing. All they thought was 'forehead girl was being unusual again'.

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

She thought that no one knew, until she met her friends but that was later on.

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

She always got kicked and pushed around by 3 of her older step sisters. Even when she was already on the floor and bruised…they still beat her up. No one was ever there to save her. They called her weak. They called her forehead girl. No one ever knew what it was like. To be broken.

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

Of course she wanted to be somebody else. Someone that was much taller and stronger with a smaller forehead. She wanted to be somebody who had many friends, not someone who was always left out and bullied. Yes, she was desperate to find something more in this world of hate. Because she was sick of hanging around people who only gave her their sweet smiles and lies when the carer was around. Inside she was bleeding so.

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

'You don't know what it's like to be like me!' Sakura recalled herself screaming at them when she was little.

And in return, she was beaten up…again. With no hero in shining armour to save her. No. This was her life.

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

The kids there lied about having to go somewhere when she asked if she could play with them. And when she heard whispers, it was always about her ugly face or large forehead.

'To be hurt, to feel lost and to be left out in the dark…' she and her inner murmured in her head.

'Welcome to My Life.'

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Ino Yamanaka. A blonde-haired girl with blue eyes (A/N wow that was too short!) whom was always mistaken as one of them sluts because of her over-done make-up. But she was a girly girl and that was it. She wasn't some girl who chose to give up being a virgin at just the age of 13!

She was known as the drummer in the group and could make every boy drool with just a mere wink. But she knew that Sakura could do so much better. If only she wore Ino's outfits and even just a bit of make-up, boy they would make a pretty good team!

She could just imagine all the fainted fanboys and nosebleeds. 'Or maybe not…' she reconsidered imagining the disgusting blood on the floor.

She loved using beauty to her advantage. Her outfit always changed but it was usually a tight purple shirt with a love heart in the middle. Her purple and pink mini skirt was chequered too and she usually put pink blush along with a few shades of purple eyeliner. Her shoes, well…it was I guess either pink heels along with a pink purse.

She reckoned Hinata and Tenten would do much better than her if they just adjusted to her style. But she would only do that if it was for desperate measure. She liked her friends just how they were.

And she was pretty sure, they like her just how she was. She and Sakura met first in the orphanage and that's when they teamed up.

Her song was called 'Me Against the World'

We're not gonna be
Just apart of their game
We're not gonna be
Just the victims

She was usually the one who was stereotyped, along with Tenten.

They're taking our dreams
And they tear them apart
'til everyone's the same
I've got no place to go
I've got no where to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

And in return, she held a grudge against stereotypes with all her heart. They wanted everyone to be the same…not to change the whole 'clichés'. And whoever wanted to change it, usually fell down to the pits of embarrassment. Ino was one of them girls who were supposed to act stuck up and bully the pathetic kids.

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world
It's me against the world

Oh yeah. She wanted to prove them all wrong so badly. Sakura was her best friend. She wanted to show them that everyone could be who they wanted to be. That they could hang out with whoever they wanted to. And that's why no one picked on them. Because if they dare go against her friend, she would be their worst nightmare.

We won't let them change
How we feel in our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let them shove
All their thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be like them

She didn't let them change how her and Sakura's heart felt. She didn't let them control her or Sakura. She didn't let them shove the thoughts and brainwash her and her best friend's head. She vowed never to become like them. But no one else did the same thing.

I've got no place to go
I've got no where to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

'They think they know it all' she thought angrily as she recalled watched them make fun of Sakura.

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I'm gonna prove them wrong
It's me against the world
Me against the world

Her goal was to make it on her own since no one had listened to her and wanted so much to just proved them all wrong. That's when she chucked the flower into one of Sakura's step sister's mouth. (A/N remember that part in Naruto? When Ino told this bully that the flower was poisoned and the 3 girls went running away?)

Now I'm sick of this waiting
So come on and take your shot
You can spit all your insults
But nothing you say is gonna change us
You can sit there and judge me
Say what you want to
We'll never let you in

"Go ahead!" she remembered yelling at them. "Spit all your insults at us! Nothing will change us!" it was because she was never going to let them change Sakura or herself.

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

She wasn't going to give up. They were wrong. She wasn't a lost cause. In fact, she was the hero!

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've got to prove them wrong
They'll never bring us down

'They'll never bring us down Sakura' she thought as she recalled the young Sakura sob in front of her.

We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

'No. It's us against the world.'

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Tenten Mikan. (A/N I'm so sorry! I don't know her last name. If any of you do, then please tell me!)

She was a tomboy who hated getting her dreams crushed just because she didn't wear make-up or skirts. Heck no one wore make-up in the group except for Ino! And well, she specialised in the guitar and also played the drums like Ino. She wore her hazelnut hair, (that matched the color of her eyes) into 2 buns and usually just wore a long sleeve with loose jeans (not skinny jeans). Her shoes were always sneakers and she probably had 5 pairs of them currently in use.

She also had a sad past. But it was she that encouraged the group to make a band and was probably the best fighter in the mind and body. She was also hated stereotypes but I probably mentioned that when I told you about Ino. She specially hated people who thought they were better than you just because they were born into a richer family…And how they didn't care if they were hurting anyone. They just believed in the word called 'destiny' when it didn't even exist. Well to Tenten anyway.

Her song told a story she could never forget. She was a poor girl who lived her life on the streets. She actually never knew her parents…

Her song was called 'Crazy'

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They wont stop 'til they've reached their dreams

She just didn't understand it. Didn't get it at all. Why everyone was so caught up with work and fame?

Diet pills, surgery
Photoshop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me

'Why would anyone want to change everything about themselves just for fame and popularity?' she asked herself as she always watched them. She had no friends then, even though there were some kids living on the street too. Every one of the girls only talked about how surgery and diet pills were the only way to make you look beautiful. They even fussed about pictures and changed them so they could be shown with more curves. Tenten only thought that it was disgusting.

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

No one was waking up. No one was opening their eyes and sensed that this was all wrong. It was like only she could see it.

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's world war III

It was true. Even though she had no parents, she had finally found a friend. She became friends with Hinata when they were young and she was the only one that knew Hinata's deep secret, then. At least, she had a friend.

No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
Money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me

'Money, money, money...That's all everyone cares about isn't it?' she thought as she saw their rich clothes and cars and,mansions.

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

No one ever told her what was going on. Because they probably didn't know what she was seeing right now. 'Their visions are clouded by all this luxury'.

Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

She even at least wanted them to tell her 'Yes! We're going crazy!' but instead, they said nothing and just ignored her. Who would listen to a street kid, anyway?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV's
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair

'Life is unfair.' She was one of them kids starving in the streets. If Hinata wouldn't have sneaked some food out of her big luxury mansion, then she would've probably died of hunger.

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something

'You'll see that…'

something is wrong
Is everybody going Crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

'Something is wrong'.

Flashback

"My name is Ino Yamanaka and this is Sakura Haruno. We're from the orphanage!" a young blonde girl greeted with a toothy smile and offered her hand.

Hinata quickly hid behind Tenten. Not because she was scared, but she was shy of people besides Tenten. Her dad had her home-schooled in order to prevent her from making any friends.

But Tenten matched Ino's toothy grin and loud voice equally. "I'm Tenten Mikan and this is my friend Hinata Hyuuga!" she introduced shaking hands with the girl.

Sakura cocked her head to the side so that she could see Hinata and give her a bright smile. "Hello! Let's be friends!" she said walking towards her.

Hinata looked at her and hesitantly stepped to the side so that they could see her shy smile. "S-s-sure!" Hinata managed to stammer out.

"Promise?" Sakura asked. "It's a promise!" Tenten answered before Hinata could say anything.

And Ino enveloped all four of them in a big hug as they all laughed happily.

End of Flashback

Ino had already woken up from her unconscious state and was wolfing down her pork with rice.

"Ino-pig. Slow down before you choke…again." Sakura warned with a worried face.

Ino froze and looked up at Sakura. Some rice had stuck to her chin and a hint of malignant flashed in her eyes as she growled "What did you say Fore-head girl?!"

"I said slow down Ino. Common, we don't need you choking on your breakfast or we'll be late for the meeting with Anko." Sakura explained not wanting to have another bicker with Ino.

But that's just how Ino was and instead of ending up choking by wolfing down her food, she ended up choking because of her loud yelling and well…they were late.

"Dammit! It's already 11:30! Do you know how angry Anko can get when she is kept waiting?" Tenten groaned us the limo stopped at the red light.

"No…but maybe we'll find out soon enough?" suggested Hinata nervously.

"I'd rather not." Sakura replied and Ino nodded with her.

"I agree with fore-head here. I think that's why all the rest of the concert crew always arrived 3 hours earlier than their scheduled arrival." Ino said making everyone sweat-drop.

Oh man.

But once they got there, they found out that, Anko's wrath was the least of their problems.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"What the…" Tenten started as she looked at the secretary of Tear Drop Kunoichis. Otherwise known as Anko's assistant 'Aya'.

"Heck?" Sakura finished.

The girl was about 5 years older than them and she looked like she had seen an angel. She was breathing in and out and hearts could be seen very easily in her eyes. Both of her hands were clasped on her chest and she was drooling on the damn phone!

Hinata quickly moved the phone somewhere else and tried to look for a bucket but there was none to be found.

"It's like she's in a coma." Tented muttered waving her hand in front of the girl's face.

Later it turned into a few 'wake up baka!' shouts and the other 3 sweat-dropped at this. The girl didn't seem to flinch as Tenten even screamed in her hair.

Suddenly, Anko's office door knob twisted which caught all of their attention.

And there, stood Anko with a silver-haired man that was holding an orange book.

But it wasn't Anko's calm face that shocked them, or the mature rated book the man was holding, or rather reading in front of them.

It was the t-shirt the man wore. It was black and in the middle was a circle.

The circle was divided into 4.

1 was red with black dots inside, and it the pizza cut chape.

The other one was white with blue clouds on it, and the other one had the yin yang symbol on it.

The last one, was more, well let's just say the last pizza was a blinding orange colour that had a ramen in the middle...

This was the signature, of the band that matched their fame…The Revolutions…

...........................................................................................................................................O.O

Me!: Well….? How was it? Please review! That will make my day and I guess hopefully I'll keep updating! Arigatou!

Oh yeah, and well I don't think I made the Revolution's signature picture clear?

Just imagine a pizza cut into four slices, kay?

One of them has Sasuke's sharingan on it, that's why it's red and has the 3 black dots in the middle.

The other one was Shikamaru's. It has a white background with clouds of different shades of blue.

Neji's background was white, and in the middle was the 'Yin Yang' sign.

Naruto had his usual background with a hot steaming ramen on it.

XD yup dats basically it! Hope u liked it!
