~Disclaimer: Snow Phoenix-Dragon does not own Naruto or the song Solo by Iyaz. Or the song Stranger by Hilary Duff~


It was a friday night and all of the Konoha Twelve were going to the new club, Club Party. It was asked to be built by Tsunade, since most of the other clubs served alcohol and she didn't want under-aged ninjas to be drinking. It was like a normal club and there was even kareoke nights.

"Sakura, want to do the kareoke contest?" Ino asked me.

"No thanks, I think it is only guy's kareoke night."

"What makes you say that?"

"The sign over there that says Guy's Kareoke Night Only."

She sweatdropped and I laughed. Grinning she dragged me to where our other friends were waiting. We were only 15 or 16, but we felt younger, especially since we are mostly treated like kids by the older shinobis and kunoichis. The Konoha 12 ranged from the ranks of chunins to jonins. Jonins being: Neji, Shikamaru, Ten Ten, Lee, and I. Chunins being the others.

[Authoress' POV]

Sakura looked over to Sasuke to see that he was flinching farther and farther away from the fangirls that seemed to have caught him. They were trying to flirt with him and he had a desperate look on his face.

Without meaning to Sakura laughed. Sasuke glared at her, but she only laughed some more. She avioded his glare becuase she knew she was going to get it at training tomorrow, if she makes it through the night. Her and Sasuke have developed a friendship during the first chunin exam when she punched Orochimaru in the neck just as he was about to give Sasuke the curse mark.

Orochimaru attacked during the final part and almost took their Hokage's life. But feeling the killing intent roll off of Sakura, Naruto, and a few others made him rethink his plan and flee. Itachi, Sasuke's brother came back and, in front of the whole village, told everyone the reason why he killed his clan. Danzo was arrested and trialed, he was stripped of his rank and his chakra was suppressed by Tsunade herself.

[Sakura's POV]

He now has to help with the Konoha Twelve whenever they need. Sometimes we call on him to get us food and run errands, it is fun and I enjoy it.

When Itachi returned he brought along the Akatsuki, which were now working with Konoha under Tsunade's rule. She became the fifth Hokage when the Third retired after the attack from Orochimaru, although he found himself stuck with more paperwork when Tsunade took over.

The Akatsuki was a pretty cool group once I start thinking about it. Tobi, who happened to be Madara, was watched carefully by everyone. ALthough I don't think it is necessary, since I personally threatened him myself. He tried to get Naruto when no one was paying attention. Now he was stuck as Tobi and Tobi's personality. I think my Inner gave him to much of a scare.

Anyways I have gotten close with Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kisame, and Tobi. Yes, even Tobi/Madara. Apparently he dubbed me as his imouto, which I thought was creepy at first, but then I got used to it.

The age group of the Akatsuki ranged from the ages of 17-20 and one 22 year old. The 22 year old being Tobi.

Anyways the host for tonight is up on stage and says that an uknown kareokier (person who sings kareoke, I made it up, I think) would be singing the song Solo by Iyaz.

As the music started my mind wandered to a person who has been on my mind lately, His name? Why, it is Uchiha Itachi. I know, first Sasuke now Itachi. I think I am prone to fall in love with Uchihas. But I hope that I won't go for Tobi/Madara, that's be way to creepy.

When the person started singing my eyes snapped up front. My green orbs widen and my mouth hung open. Uchiha Itachi was the mysterious kareokier tonight and he had one wicked voice.

Itachi Singing:

I said I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo

Itachi looked at me and continued singing.

See girl we used to be a team Running the streets
Ya we was living out our dream, ohh
You used to be my rider
I was your provider
Now we separated in to two

Oh and baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
Where noway to get home

And I dont wanna go, go
I dont wanna go, girl
I dont wanna it, no no
I dont wanna it, down low
I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)

Cuz I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I dont wanna walk around alone,(solo)
I said I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo, solo)

You was the beat onto my top line
Put us together
And you offered it the rewind
See, you give me a purpose
Now I'm getting nervous
That my heart will never sing again
Oh, when we were burning up the airways
They know us from the Virgin Islands to the U.K.
See, we was on the way to the platinum and gold
Never thought that you'd go , but you did yeah
Yeah, You did

Oh and baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
Where noway to get home

And I dont wanna go, go
I dont wanna go, go
I dont wanna go, no
I dont wanna it, no
I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)

Cuz I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I dont wanna walk around alone,(solo)
I said I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo, solo)

I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O (no no)
I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O
Oh nooo (Oh nooo)
Solooo (solooo)
I dont wanna walk S-O-L-O

And I dont wanna go, go
I dont wanna go, go
I dont wanna go, no
I dont wanna go, no
I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)

Cuz I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I dont wanna walk around alone, solo
I said I dont want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo, solo)

At the end of the song those who were in the club cheered loudly. Smirking he walks off stage and walks over to me.

"How was it? he asked.

"Good, but I could do better." I smirked back.

"Really, then I guess it is a challenge. Mr. Habarashi, we have a challenge tonight. I am being challenged by Miss Haruno Sakura. She sings her song and the crowd decided the winner."

"Sounds good to me. It seems we have one more mystery kareokier! Turn on the music!"

I was handed a mic, but I pushed it away. Years of being an annoying fangirl mad my voice loud without a microphone.

The music started and I begain to sing.

Nobody believes me when I tell them that you're out of your mind.
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there's so much you hide.
You treat me like a queen when we go out,
wanna show everyone what our love's about.
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd,
But when no ones around;

There's no kindness in your eyes,
The way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person that I once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..

Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
You made yourself look perfect in every way,
So when this goes down, I'm the one that will be blamed.
Your plan is working so you can just walk away,
Baby your secret's safe.

There's no kindness in your eyes,
The way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person that I once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..

Such a long way back, from this place that we are at.
When I think of all the time I've wasted, I could cry..

There's no kindness in your eyes,
The way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person that I once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..

There's no kindness in your eyes,
The way you look at me, it's just not right.
I can tell whats going on this time,
Theres a stranger in my life.
You're not the person i once knew.
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do,
Then they would see a stranger too..

After the song ended I walked off and grabbed a drink by a passing waiter. The drink was punch and it was refreshing.

"Great singing forehead!" Ino cheered.

"Thanks. But I don't think the song was chosen well."

"Why not?" Ten Ten asked as she sipped her ice tea.

"It didn't go well with what Itachi sang before. Althoug, the song was really good."

"I think you and Itachi rocked." Kisame laughed loudly.

"Kisame, are you drunk?" I ask.

"Maybe."

Rolling our eyes Itachi took hold of my hand and led me into a corner where there was barely anyone around.

"Itachi?"

"Sakura, when do we tell them?" he asked as he nuzzled his face into my hair.

"Soon, they're coming over now." I whisper in his ear.

Our friends found the two of us kissing and I heard a thump.

Breaking the kiis I turn to see that Sasuke, Tobi, Deidara, and Hidan on the ground in a dead faint.

"Maybe we should've waited until tomorrow." I muttered.

"Nah, what would be the fun in that?"
