Alright, here's chapter 1 of the sequel to take a bow. I really cut off on that ending huh? But that's ok, you get to find out more of this story in this one! Of course I don't own Naruto.
My eyes swept over the audience for the hundredth time that night, there was a single face my eyes were searching for, but it was the person I'd never see no matter how many places I went for concerts. It was hard to believe that it had been three years since I'd last even caught a glimpse of her face.
A sudden shock of blonde hair that belonged on no person except one caught my eyes, but a sudden movement of the crowd through it out of view as everyone raised their hands in the air, screaming for an encore.
I had to know, I turned to face my band mates, "We're doing a run out in the encore." I told them in a hard voice, attempting not to hold in my panic.
I turned back to the screaming crowd, my eyes automatically going to the spot where she might be.
Come on Naruto, be there. I mentally willed. Karin started the song with drums, then Suigetsu, then Jugo and finally I joined in on vocals. As we reached the first chorus I shoved my mike stand out of the way and jumped into the aisles, running at full speed up to the spot where I had seen her. It was near the back of the stadium which turned out to be work getting to then I had originally planned. The entire way was blocked by bodies of the crowd, which left me unable to see the spot where she had been standing. I pushed my way through as fan girls threw themselves at me.
That's it! I thought, pushing through the last few feet, but the seat that I had seen the mysterious head of blonde hair, was empty.
A shaggy haired boy grinning like an idiot at me, but in all honesty I was probably the one being an idiot. He held up his hand for a high five. I slapped his hand, happy that I had trained my face to never show my emotions. Disappointment racked through me as I spun away from him, but I froze as I a pair of teal eyes met mine. The pale redhead glared darkly at me before disappearing out the door.
A hand grabbed ahold of mine and I turned to see Karin pulling me back toward the stage. I ripped my hand out of hers, walking on my own volition back onstage. "Goodnight!" I called. I gave a final wave before dodging offstage. My attempt to make a break for the exit was blocked by my pale manager.
"Well well Sasuke where are you running off to?" Orochimaru purred.
"Nothing, screw off." I turned, trying to avoid him.
"Now now Sasuke, you have autographs to go sign. Go go, wouldn't want to disappoint your fans."
I half growled as I followed his command, leading the band toward the booth that held all our memorabilia. I sat down, picking up a black pen, waiting for the horde of screaming fan girls.
"Come on Sasuke!" Karin cuddled close to my arm, "don't scare away the fans now." she giggled.
"Fuck off." I muttered to her, pulling my arm away. I glared as the first fan girl that threw herself in front of me. I fell into the normal routine of asking what they wanted sign and attempting to keep up.
"Who's it for?" I asked as a t-shirt was thrown in front of me.
"It's a birthday present for my friend Naruto. She had to bail early." my head shot up and before me stood the shaggy haired boy from before.
"Sasuke, sign the t-shirt and move on." Orochimaru's hand gripped my shoulder from behind.
There's no chance its her anyway, after all this was across the country from our home town. It must have been a coincidence. I signed the shirt and handed it back to him.
How had it come to this?
Well, there's the prologue.
