A/N: So, another GaaSaku fanfic from yours truly. The summary pretty much tells you what it's about, doesn't it? Well, if you still don't understand what this fic is about, just read and find out, yes? It'll be a lot different than the pirate-stories. I dunno if it'll be good, but I hope that it'll be.
Okay, anyways.. As some of you might have understood – might – the Naruto gang are not in High School, they are older and they all live in Konoha, still. Many of them are famous and I'm not telling you more! Read, enjoy and review 8DD
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Naruto, okay?
Okay, just a quick heads-up before you start reading this thing: Deidara is a girl in this one (like she will be in all of the fanfics she's in that I write) and she is also the two year older sister of Sakura. Sasori is a part of the Sabaku family, the exact same age as Temari, just 10 months younger.
And one more thing: Project Zero = famous band from Konoha. Jason (OC) lead singer, Naruto on drums, Shikamaru on bass and Kankuro on guitar.
Now, enjoy the story!
"Olsen, you're late again!" a blond, blue eyed girl turned around and looked at the person who'd just called her name. It was a man, about 30 years old with brown eyes and brown hair. He was quite tall and looked intimidating with that angry look on his face. He wore a white shirt, plain black pants and a red tie that was tied loosely. With just one look at his brown, messy hair and the irritated look on his face, the blond and blue eyed girl could easily tell that he'd fallen asleep by his desk at his house and then rushed to work, still in yesterday's outfit. He was the girls' boss and his name was Jonathan James. The girls name was Jessica Olsen. She wore her own clothes at the moment – jeans and a tank top – and not the the typical outfit for a supermarket – employee, yet. Yellow pants and a red shirt with various prints all over it in different colors. God, she really hated her job.
"Sorry, sir.. I really can explain!" she said, a nervous smile on her lips. It didn't work, he still looked angry, "I.. I overslept and when I was on my way here there was some kind of accident and I-"
It was a total lie, but he didn't have to know that.
"Just go and do you're job, Olsen", he interrupted her, rolling his eyes.
Jessica nodded and rushed over to the room where all the employees had their lockers and such. When she entered it she got a strange feeling, like someone else was there.. But she couldn't see nor hear anyone. She just ignored the feeling and walked over to her locker, number 23. Just as she was about to open it, a figured emerged from the shadows, the person had a knife in his right hand. It was a man, about the same age as the 22 year old girl by the locker. He wore all black. Everything was black, except the red hair and the jade eyes. You could easily tell – by his muscular body – that he had been working out for some years. He walked over to Jessica, a hand around her waist to bring her closer to him and the hand with the knife found its way to her throat. Jessica was kind of surprised, but recovered from the shock quickly.
"Long time no see, right Jessica?" the man whispered in her ear, making her shiver. She glared at nothing and everything, since she couldn't see his face, she glared at the lockers in front of her.
"Not long enough, asshole!" she said before taking out a gun from the bag in her hand and a knife found its way out too, "get ready to die!"
The man laughed and let her go so the fight could begin. He eyed her slightly, smirking at the sight before him. He like with he saw, he really did.
"That wig of yours really fits you.. And.. Is that lenses I see? I'm guessing that boss of yours has no idea of the pink locks that are hiding behind that blond hair.." he said, still smirking widely. Oh, she just wanted to kill that son of a bitch! He'd been following her for the past three weeks and she just wanted him dead so she could relax already, "I'm surprised that you didn't change you name though, Jessica"
"Just go and die, bitch!"
And the fight began.
".. And that was a part from a scene from the new movie by Hatake Kakashi, 'Uncovered'. I'm Kate Burns and you are watching 'Behind the scenes: the true story of young stars'. Today, Japan is our topic. Now, how is it really to be a hot and young star? Well, the young and extremely hot female lead in this movie is of course Haruno Sakura – in a wig and lenses right then, talented actress who lives in Konoha, Japan."
The fake-blond, middle aged woman smiled at the camera and got up from her chair. She walked over to a big, fake window that was actually that kind of green screen that they use in movies or shows to create different effects. This one created the effect that she was at that very moment standing in Japan, Sakura trees flowing in the wind behind her.
"Today, we are going to meet the lovely, pink haired girl and talk a little about the action movie she is the star in, Project Zero are also joining us later on – telling us about their new tour here in America and then our mystery guest.. He's related to one of the guys in Project Zero, can you guess who it is? Now, why is it that all the really hot stars seems to be living in Japan and not here in America? Who knows.. Many of them were kind enough to come to America to be on this show, if they weren't here already.."
She smiled to the camera again and made a one second pause before she continued to talk about what was going to happen later in the show. After a while, she told the camera that they were going to be back in just a little bit, after commercial. When the producer of the show yelled 'cut' the lady breathed in and out, five minutes break and then they were on again.
"So, is she here yet, Mark?" Kate asked when she had reached a man in her own age, it was her boss. Although she acted like his boss on their spare time. Well, they were married, what were you expecting?
Mark nodded and lazily pointed at the pink haired girl who had just entered the room. Kate nodded and smiled at her husband who smiled back at her before walking over to the cameraman, talking to him a little. Kate waved at the pinkette – Sakura to you – and motioned her to come over to her so they could talk about the part of the show she was in. Sakura nodded at what Kate had said to her, just in time for Mark to yell that it was thirty seconds left of the break. Kate and Sakura walked over to two chairs that had been placed beside each other on the small stage like area. Sakura took her place in one of the chairs and the show was on again.
"So, I am here with world famous actress Haruno Sakura", Kate said to the camera and smiled before looking at Sakura, "tell me, Sakura, how was it to work with Hatake Kakashi again?"
Sakura laughed slightly, "oh, Kate, if I tell you that I might have to kill you.. No, seriously, it was really fun to work with him again, considering that we are close friends and that he has been by my side since I was a little child.. And he is a fantastic director"
Kate nodded and smiled. Of course she just had to ask whether Sakura knew anything about Kakashis mysterious wife. He was a world famous director, had been single for many years and all of a sudden he goes for a vacation to Hawaii and gets married with a girl that no one even knew excised? Strange. Okay, he had been in a relationship with a woman for two years, but who was she? No one but he himself and family and close friends knew what her name was and he just refused to tell the media about her. There had been several pictures with him and a brunette, being.. Romantic in public and so on, but no one knew who she really was and it seemed like Kakashi wanted to keep it that way. So could Sakura possibly know anything about her?
"Well, I have met her actually.. She's from England and her name is Lily, she's extremely nice and I hope that Kakashi doesn't kill me when he sees this", Sakura said and smiled.
"Why is it that he doesn't want the press to know anything about her?" Kate asked, eager to know more.
"I guess he just wants her to have a normal life as long as she can, she wasn't famous before she started to date Kakashi two years ago and if you ask me, she isn't that used to media all around her 24/7", Sakura said, shrugging while saying the first part.
Kate nodded and she made another one second pause so she could read on the screen where it stood what she was going to say. Then she turned her head to Sakura again, smiling widely. Now, there was just one more thing that she wanted to know, well.. The thing that every person wanted to know. The big love-chaos that had been going on between the Konoha stars. Sakura laughed slightly at this. You see, the Konoha stars knew each other pretty well.. Most of them at least and many of them had dated each other in the past. Many people who didn't know the stars personally thought it was quite confusing, who had gone out with who? Who broke up with who? How or through who did him and her meet in the first place? And so on. Sakura soon nodded and started to tell Kate about it..
.. Sasuke and Sakura had been dating during high school, but then she dumped him for Kankuro, who later dumped her for a girl named Alice, who eventually dumped him for Sasuke just to get dumped by him – and instead get together with Gaara and get dumped by him – so that he (Sasuke) could get together with Ino. But she dumped him for Kankuro and then him for Kiba (who she is currently dating), who is close friends with Neji, who also dated Sakura and Ino, but dumped the first for the second and the second for his current girlfriend Tenten, who is close friends with Shikamaru, who had a very short relationship with Ino before he dumped her for Kankuros older sister Temari, who is close friends with Sakura's older sister, Deidara, who has actually been a good girl and has stuck with the same guy for several year, Sasori.. Who thought of having some fun with Sakura but changed his mind the last second.
And besides for Sasuke, Kankuro and Neji, Sakura has also dated Itachi for some months, who is the one who helped Project Zero with their first gigs. Naruto has also been involved in this whole 'lovechaos', he dated Ino when they were younger – not for long though – but dumped her for Sakura, got dumped by her when she got together with Sasuke, then he had a very short relationship with the notorious Alice, but dumped her and later got together with his current girlfriend, Nejis cousin Hinata.
"So, did you get that?" Sakura asked and smiled widely at Kate who just sat there, starring at her. The girls mouth just kept going and going and going and.. Wait, was she done? Kate shook her head slightly and nodded, laughing a little. Wow..
"Thank you, Sakura.. I hope some of our viewers understood that", she said and laughted again, as did Sakura, "now.. Just one last thing before Project Zero enters the building.. What does a normal day look for you? When you don't have a movie to make, appearances on TV and so on.."
"Well.."
A day off in Haruno Sakura's life (a year earlier)
Sakura yawned happily when she woke up. A day off, wow. She loved those days, she could do whatever she wanted and no bodyguards in sight, that she could see. Sweet!
She got out of her king size bed that was placed in her bedroom, in her almost too big apartment in central Konoha. She walked over to her dresser and picked out a quite short denim skirt, a simple red tank top and some clean underwear. She stepped into the large and pretty bathroom and took a quick shower. Man, was the rich life sweet or what? She soon stepped out of the shower and after she had dripped off a little, she put a white towel around her perfect figure and went to the bathroom mirror. With her hair wrapped into a white towel she started to apply make-up. When she was done body lotion was the next mission and then clothes. She unwrapped her hair and threw the towels in the laundry basket. She was going to let her long hair air dry.
She went into the kitchen and started to make breakfast for herself. The kitchen was almost two times bigger than the bathroom and the bathroom was quite big, for being a bathroom. The living room was the largest room of them all. The kitchen came in second, then the bedroom, then the guestroom and last but not least the bathroom.
Konoha had changed quite much during the last ten years or so. When Sakura was little and not famous, Konoha had been this small town that mostly the citizens there and the citizens in the small towns around knew existed. You didn't really think of it, but when a gang of teenagers in their Senior year – and some older ones too – began to become quite famous both in Konoha and in other places of the world, people started to take notice of that little town. You could almost say that Konoha was Japans smaller answer to New York nowadays. Not really, but almost. The small town had grown into a small city. People from all around the world wanted to travel there and see how it looked like where the young stars lived. Tsunade – the mayor of Konoha – was very happy, since she got rich. Even though she wasn't really supposed to get money because of that. Or was she? Never mind.
Sakura smiled a little and shook her head at the thought of Tsunade laughing insanly and swiming in a pool of money. What if she did that every morning? Who knows..
When Sakura had finished her breakfast and brushed her now dry hair, she put her shoes on, grabbed her purse and walked out off her big apartment. After locking the door, she took the elevator down to the garage where her car stood, a black Lexus in all its glory.
Soon, she was out on the road. She was going shopping with her friends today, Hinata, Tenten and Temari. Since their boyfriends were busy. Project Zero was on a world tour at the moment and they weren't coming home for another two weeks and Neji had some modeling job in Australia. So, even if the girlfriends were sad that their men were gone, it benefited Sakura. She had something to do on her day off.
Finally, she reached the destination of the day.. Konoha's mall!
"Sakura!" a voice cried behind her, she turned around and saw Tenten and Hinata walking towards her. Sakura locked her car and walked over to them, hugged them both and the three of them started to walk towards the gigantic mall that Tsunade requested a construction enterprise from Russia to build five years ago. Sakura wasn't going to complain, she loved it. Her favorite stores were located there.
"Hey you guys!" Temari said when she caught up with them five minutes later. They all greeted her. She was late because she had been talking to Shikamaru for almost two hours this morning, not that he was so happy about it. It was very late at the place they were now, wherever that was and he wanted some sleep. Muttering things about 'troublesome woman' and 'this is just wrong' all the time. Not that Temari noticed, she just wanted to hear his voice. She missed him a lot.
"So, where to first?" Sakura asked, glancing at every shop in front of her. They decided to take the first two floors of the mall first and then the other two after lunch. Yes, the mall had four floors and over 250 stores, if Sakura remembered it correctly. Or was it 300? Oh, who cares? Suddenly you could see a man that was sitting on a bench take out a camera and 'discreetly' photograph Sakura and the others. Sakura didn't care really, she was used to it and the others were too probably, since their boyfriends were world wide famous.
"So, any boyfriends-to-be yet, Sakura?" Temari later asked when they stood in one of the shops on the second floor. Sakura was currently holding in two pretty dresses in the colors green and black.
She turned around and looked at Temari before shaking her head. Sure, she was a world famous actress but she hadn't had a boyfriends for over six months! It was driving her crazy! Everyone else seemed to have boyfriends or girlfriends. Even her own, overly weird, art crazy sister Deidara had one! Well.. More like a fiancé. Since he had proposed to her three weeks ago. Damn, her love life really sucked! Every relationship she'd ever had hadn't lasted longer than some months and the longest she'd had, had lasted about a year. And that was in high school.
"It's weird, since you are the hottest", Hinata stated, holding a plain black top in her hand. She used to be very shy and she used to stutter when they were in high school and before that too, but after she got together with Naruto two years ago it just kind of.. Stopped. She had always had a crush on him and had been nervous around him for many years. She'd even been nervous when she thought of him! Poor girl. But, when they became an actual couple – it stopped.
"Yeah! And if we are able to get boyfriends why haven't you lately?" Temari asked and looked at Sakura with a serious face.
"I guess that's because all the guys that could possibly be good for her are already taken", Tenten said lazily while looking through some jeans.
"Not every possible guy", Temari said and smirked. Hinata and Tenten looked at her and smirked back. Sakura looked at them with a confused look on her face, not understanding what Temari was talking about. Not really wanting to either.
The three of them looked at her with smiles on their faces. Soon she understood what Temari meant and her eyes went wide. Then she shook her head and walked towards the changing rooms. The girls followed her, still smiling while they looked at her back.
"Come on, Sakura.. He's like.. The hottest guy in the universe!" Tenten said. She wasn't much of a I'm-obsessed-with-the-opposite-sex kind of person, so when she though a guy was hot, he truly was.
Sakura sighed and walked into one of the changing rooms, starting to take her own clothes off, revealing a black and white lace-bra with matching panties. She tried the black dress on first, liking what she saw in the mirror. She did have a great body, no doubt.
"He might be insanely hot – so hot that it's.. Actually gross -, but what makes you think that the two of us would work as a couple? I mean, he was the living ice cube himself in high school and he hasn't changed that much", Sakura said while she fixed the dress a little before walking out of the changing room, having a mini catwalk for her friends. They nodded in agreement that it looked very good on her.
"Well, he needs you, doesn't he Temari?" Hinata said and looked at Temari with a smirk. Wow, it was still weird to see Hinata with a smirk on her face.
"He truly does", Temari smirked too and looked at Sakura with a look that said 'you want him and you know it'. Sakura sighed again and walked back into the changing room, trying the green dress this time. Why did he need her by the way? Weird friends..
It didn't fit as good as the black one, but it was still really pretty on her. Hell, every single outfit that she tried on fitted her perfectly. Well, maybe not the once that weren't in her size? But besides those clothes..
"Temari, he's your youngest brother.. Wouldn't you think that it would be weird if he started to date one of your friends?" Sakura asked when she'd come out of the changing room again. Temari just shrugged.
"If it's you.. No. But if it would be anyone else, yes"
"You look really cute together, Sakura-Chan.. Everyone has said that ever since our sophomore year in high school", Hinata said, giving Sakura a sweet Hinata-smile.
Sakura just shook her head and went back inside the changing room after she got the comments on the dress. Why did they always do this to her? She knew that her and Gaara looked good together, the others had been saying that for years. Since their sophomore year in high school, like Hinata said. But the two had never been a couple, couldn't the others just get the message that a relationship between Haruno Sakura and Sabaku no Gaara just wasn't happening? Just ignore the fact that she'd had a secret crush on him the past years – sometimes even secret for her. He was too good-looking for his own safety and it was natural that she felt attracted to him, but had there even been a hint about a relationship between then? Nooo. Girls, just keep dreaming.
"Come on, Sakura!" Temari said with a tired voice, "your sister is engaged to the other redhead in our family, so why shouldn't you get together with Gaara? Dei's older than you so you should copy her every move so you can seem 'cooler', Kankuro does it all the time with Sasori, well.. Everytime they meet at least"
"Why do you want me to get together with your youngest brother so badly?" Sakura asked while she changed into her own clothes.
"Because; if you become Gaaras girlfriend, Kankuro will be the only single one of the Sabaku siblings and I like that though very, very much", Temari said and kind of sounded like a little kid that tried to convince her parents to give her something she wanted.
"You're sick", Sakura said and sighed yet again before she exited the changing room.
"You know it", Temari said and smiled widely, still kid-like, suddenly she smirked though, "but just think about this; No one ever expected Gaara to become an actor, not even he himself.. And people don't believe that you and Gaara are going to become a couple anymore, sooo.. That must mean that it's going to happen"
Temari was obviously very proud over her conclusion, because she was sitting there and nodding at what she just said while smiling widely.
"Get over yourself, Temari", Sakura said.
Two weeks later
It had now been two weeks and it was the day when Project Zero were to come home and the girlfriends plus Sakura stood there, waiting for them on the airport. Tenten had to go to her parents and celebrate her father on his birthday. The band's plane had just landed, seconds ago, and within minutes a hyperactive blond, a not too hyperactive black haired one, a lazy brunette and a little less lazy but way more perverted brunette walked out of the plane. With them, three good-looking fans, so it seemed. And Kankuro got their full attention, he loved it. Sakura rolled her eyes at the sight.
"Hinataaa", Naruto yelled happily, causing many heads to turn around to look at the loud blonde. Some of the teenage girls who stood or sat nearby almost started to drool when they saw the band. Hormone crazy teens..
"Naruto-kun", Hinata smiled widely and they greeted each other with a passionate kiss that would be able to say oh so many things. His fans sighed and hung their heads.
"Shika-kun", Temari screamed, running towards the lazy brown haired male with the pineapple-lookalike hairstyle. He looked at her with a little smile. He had missed her a lot, but did she have to yell?
"Hey, not too troublesome woman", he mumbled before they too shared a passionate kiss, causing his fans to sigh and hang their heads. Poor fans, it's not fun when your idol gets a girlfriend and starts to make out with her right in front of your eyes.
Jason, the lead singer of the band, greeted Sakura with a quick hug before he walked over to his girlfriend. Oh, why did every single person Sakura know just had to have a girlfriend or boyfriend? Man, she was going to go into her I-hate-the-world mode soon. Or maybe Kankuro could make her happier? He didn't have a girlfriend so not every single person she knew was in a relationship. But he sure had a lot of girls around him. Sakura shook her head when he said goodbye to the good-looking but still slutty fans. They giggled and waved at him when they walked towards the exit, all three of them dressed in miniskirts and tops in kid-sizes. Kankuro looked after them and smirked, probably looking at their butts.
"You're a little bit of a male slut, aren't you?" she asked when he had reached her and after he'd given her a quick hug. Well, she wasn't lying. He slept with every single fan of his that looked good in his eyes, "I mean, as long as they have two boobs and an ass.. You're good!"
"You know it", he said and smirked, sounding just like his sister.
"So.. How many fans have you slept with this week?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. He smirked again, but he had to think.
"Weeell.. One, two three-.. I've lost count, you know", he said and shrugged lightly. He didn't even try to hide that fact that he was sleeping with everything that moved, had those two big boobs and – actually - were listening to the music he and the band played – and like it – and it didn't even bother him that his female friends saw him as a male slut, "so, how many fans have you slept with this week, sexy?"
"I'm an actress, we don't do that", she said, rolling her eyes again. He laughed at this and shook his head. When the others were done with theirs they all walked towards the exit. Cameras, reporters and so on stood by the exit, just waiting to get the first pictures of Project Zeros return.
Kankuro smiled widely when he saw the flashes from the cameras, loving the attention. Even after a few years, he still loved it when he was in the papers. Like a little kid in a candy shop.
"Hope I don't look like a complete idiot", Sakura muttered. She was still down because of the whole 'I don't have a boyfriend'-thing.
"Why do you think that they would care that you're here?" Kankuro asked, not understanding why for real.
"Excuse me, who's a world famous actress with a lot of money?" Sakura asked and raised and eyebrow. He smirked and shrugged. They walked out of the airports, the security guards that worked at the airport kept the reporters and photographers inside the airport so long that the gang could get out of there.
What did you think? :D
This was originally going to be a one-shot, but I've decided that I'm not capable to write a one-shot because then it would be like 20 000 words or something like that. So.. No one-shot. Anyways, R&R! I haven't decided on how many chapters I want it to be.. Maybe two or three or four? You can actually decide! 8DD I will give you the honor..
