This story is just written for fun. I own nothing but my imagination!
And yes it's another Sasu-Ten but I can't help it I love them together.
Chapter 1...
(Tenten POV)
The stage light's were burning hot making my skin overly warm under the ridiculous outfit I was forced to wear. Pink and purple puffy skirts matching the other girl next to me while Sakura -Sakura did her solo act, it was her show and we were simply playing a small part. In all honesty I didn't mind, I hate showbiz and I hate preforming but there was a rush to it and it gave me this blissful feeling. I shook my hips and spun as we gave her backup vocals. Sakura-Sakura was the leading singer/actress in Konaha and we meaning myself and Hinata my best friend were well her back up. As her manager Kakashi had said we were just living breathing ornaments. In all honesty the only reason I continued to deal with this woman was well the check's.
Sakura smiled and jumped as the crowd waved there large pink glow sticks showing her love and excitement. She was loved by so many and feared but dozens behind the scenes, this pink haired woman had a very bad temper but most dealt with it because other then the mega million dollar all guys group Shuriken she was the biggest money maker for Hokage Records. I stepped back and waved my hands in synch with Hinata as Sakura did her goodbye song. I made the air feel light as the fands waved their own tearful goodbyes. The shows were long and draining but the money was good and after the student loans I gained after years in college I was happy for this option.
The show ended quickly and instantly Sakura's smile turned to a frown as she yelled at her assisant a woman named Temari to grab her bags and meet her in the dressing room. Hinata and I took a breather and grabbed are water bottles sitting on an amp happy the show was over.
"I feel so bad for Temari it must be so difficult to work completely under her." Hinata said making me crack a small smile as I pulled my hair up into my favorite style of two bun's. Sakura hated it so I could never wear it on stage but I dealt with it.
"Well hopefully Kakashi pays the poor woman well. Luckily for her it seem's she handles it pretty well." I said standing up straight stretching my back, Hinata blushed brightly as she noticed a group walking by I sighed and rolled my eye's. I knew instantly that the group she was blushing at was Shuriken, the leader of the musical dance group was a cornflaked blonde named Naruto. We've only met him in passing but Hinata was gobsmacked.
It was rare that we saw that band but when we did it was due to company events or charity and every time there was poor Hinata all red faced blushing over the funny and bashful leader. I patted her shoulder and smiled making wiggly eyebrow's towards her.
"Hina you need to just grow a pair and talk to him he's human too." I said resting an elbow on the shorter womans shoulder smiling, she gulped and grew redder.
"Your insane how could I do that when I can barely talk to him in meetings or press events?" She asked looking towards the stage getting ready for the male group. I roll my eyes and stand in front of her seriously.
"You go out on stage and preform like no ones watching when theres literally millions of people watching yet you can't talk to one guy! Come on you have to get over it and just try you'll never get to be with him if you do that shy thing the rest of your life." I replied back playfuly towards the end trying not to come off rude. Hinata looked at me then towards the floor at her shoes shrugging her shoulders.
"I think I will next time I'm smelly and I'm still wearing this ridiculous thing."She said flipping her skirt annoyed with herself, I sighed and patted her shoulder smiling down at my friend.
"Hey one day you'll do it baby steps, now let's go to are dressing closet so we can head to the hotel and wash up." I said smelling myself again pretending to gag, It was my job to make Hinata laugh when she was feeling down because well on the road we only had eachother. It was odd how two people who grew up together could end up accidentally in the same career and we were happy for it. My father was a strong workerwho did everything and anything to make sure my mother and I were taken care of.
" You can't be serious were not leaving till their set is done I can't miss this." She said excitedly as she grabbed my arm tightly. I rolled my eye's but smiled and sat back on the amp watching the stage go dark. The men from Shuriken sure did put on a show I had to admit. They were a big hit with young and old woman alike and it brought them many of fan's. Hinata secretly had to be one of there biggest fan's and I would stay with her to watch them but in all honesty I loved music that had a little more heart to it instead of over done I love you dance mixes ripped together to hard core sounds and really good dance moves.
Hinata squeeled as the music began to grow louder and louder, the fan's started cheering and shouting as the group of 5 guy's started there show. I had to admit they were craftsman in there art, on some level I was jealous of there dance moves. They did their show so controlled yet fun it had to be tiring but they made it look at ease. I bobbed my head as the men danced and cheered with the crowd giving off this amaxing vibe similar to the one I got when on stage myself. Hinata seemed to be enjoying herself too and that was all that mattered.
We sat quietly when out of no where I felt an arm around my shoulder as someone cleared their throught next to my personaly space. I jumped and looked next to me to see Sakura's manager Kakshi next to me smiling as a cigerette sat in between his fingers.
"Tenten I see your enjoying the show." He said smiling with his eye's since he always had a sick mask on, in all honesty I was surprised he could keep a job with that thing on. I nodded my head and looked back to the show quietly watching thinking of what to say.
"It's very different but it's not bad they have a lot of energy and really know how to entertain the crowd." I said crossing my arms as I watched Naruto stand on an amp clapping his hands with the crowd as another dark brown haired male went up to do his own solo in the song. Kakashi nodded his head agreeing with me then once again he cleared his throat and looked at me seriously.
"I hate to pull you away from this but Jiraya and I would like to speak to you alone if you didn't mind ripping your eyes away from the show." He said jokingly. I blinked and got off the amp shrugging, I was a little worried but I'd figure thing's out if I got fired.
"Alright no problem." I said turning to let Hinata know I was leaving but then deciding not to because of how engrossed she was in the show.
The walk to the hall way behind the stage was quiet as my went threw a bunch of possibilities of what this talk could be about. Had I missed to many step's tonight? I knew I was tired but I didn't think it was that bad. Kakashi opened the door and there stood the head of agent of Hokage Records and manager of Shuriken standing in front of me smiling. This man was well known for being a GIANT PERV but also being one of the most trusted agents to the head boss Tsunade. That woman was someone to repsect she built the company from the ground up like no one had ever did before and now at the age of 50 she was still running things flawlessly.
Jiraya stood against the wall and waved happily his hair was back and he was wearing a very nice and exspensive business suit well so was Kakashi but it looked more exspensive ont the seasoned older man. I bowed politely and stood against the door waiting to hear what I had clearly done wrong.
"It's been a long time hasn't it Ten-chan" Jiraya said making me look away embarassed, see back about a year ago Hinata and I were working as maids in the local maid cafe. It wasn't a shameful job really we just made drinks and did popular pop dance moves. It made us good tips and helped towards living so I was glad to get the job. Little did I know was that Jiraya and Kakashi were agents and well they thought Hinata and I would make perfect back up for Sakura-Sakura by being her blossoms. It would have been dumb of us not to take the offer up.
" It has hasn't it. I never got to properly thank you for this have I so thank you."I said playfuly turing towards the door to run. Kakashi grabbed my arm and shook his head while Jiraya laughed a deep belly laugh.
"Calm down Ten-chan your not in trouble I actually have a job opening for you and I wanted to know if you would take it." Jiraya said honestly, I blinked and turned around interestedly.
"Oh really what type of job?"I asked tilting my head nervously. Jiraya set his phone down to show a video, i blinked a few times and looked at the phone as he started to play the video. I was beat red as the video played there I stood in the dance studio doing choreogrphy for the new MV Sakura was going to perform for this song she didn't have the dancing skills or range for. I was just having fun but she had also asked me to see if I could dumb it down for her and of course I did there was no way I was about to argue with that woman.
"How did your pervy ass get this I was only playing around." I said watching myself belt out the song Sakura was supposed to sing as I went around the room just having fun.
"Well you see a few days prior to this I had come in to grab a track from the other studio to see little Ten-chan dancing and singing like no one was watching and well to be forward you preformed it playing around a lot better then Sakura did seriously. Sooo... I waited the next day to see if you would do it again and once again you proved to be a tripple threat so I video tapped you and showed Tsunade-baba and well she loved it. Next thing I knew she wanted me to sign you as a solo artist to her new fun edgey label." JIraya said lifting his hands up excitedly. I stepped back and blinked confused and shocked.
"But what about Hinata I can't leave her behind to be with another blossom?" I asked looking down surprised by the offer. My mind started to race as Jiraya started to talk over one another trying to sell me on the deal. I didn't even know if I wanted to be an Idol and here it was another once in a life time opportunity thrown into my lap.
"Tenten are you listening.?"Asked Kakashi as I blinked and nodded my head.
"Good because we could do one of two thing's for Hinata if you wanted. One option since were trying to be nice here is Hinata can come and be a back up dancer for you or well she could become and assitant but that's only if she wants it. We don't do this much but since Tsunade think's you'll be a brand changer were gonna grant a few wishes." Kakashi said pulling up his mask to push the now lit cigerette to his lips. I tilted my head trying to see more of his face but huffed and looked away when he caught me. He crossed his other arm and tilted his head.
"Well what's your choice here?" He asked as I looked down still thinking. This would change my life vastly but the question was did I really want that?
"I know this is going to be something life changing but think about it. You'd be able to do what every you'd like finish paying those lones buy a musuem full of books anything so just say yes so we can get a blossom replacement in and be on are way hmmm." Jiraya said making me blink again still unsure, I needed something new and why should I stop myself even though I hated performing sometimes and I found interviews to be garbage I guess I'll do it.
"Ok I'll give it a try but... and I mean but...If I don't like it I don't care contract or not I'm going to quit." I said crossing my arm's putting on my serious business woman face. Jiraya shook his head and smiled openly.
"I think we can work out a first three months contract where if you don't want to do it within that time then your gone but after you stick to your contract but we'll let the others handle that come one let's celebrate!" He said as Kakashi nodded his head happily. I shook my head and waved my hands.
"Sorry I have to clean up and get back to Hinata but what should I do about the show tomorrow?"I asked curious about the process that was going to take place. Kakashi looked at me and brought up his phone scrolling few a things then sending out a text.
"Well your fired from being a blossom and the girl we hired will be in tomorrow as for you tomorrow you'll come to head quarters and we'll square away everything ok?" He said making me nod my head as everything started to hit me again.
"Alright...wait new girl? what if I had decided to stay as blossom?"I asked crossing my arms and raising an eyebrow curiously. Kakashi smiled and shrugged walking after Jiraya.
"We knew you'd say yes. Now have a good night Ten-chan."He said as they headed towards the exit.
I stumbled back to the side of the stage still in shock over everything that just happened. My mind racing over what they were going to have me singing or even doing, I was so lost that I didn't even notice when I bumped into something hard and sweaty. I blinked and looked up to see one of the guy's from Shuriken standing in front of me glaring down at me annoyamce clearly writen on his face as I stepped back and shook myself awake.
"what are you doing back here panda girl press and fangirl's aren't allowed back here during preformances." He barked his deep dark eye's glaring down at me sharply, I stepped back and frowned up at him.
"Pardon me asshole I didn't mean to walk into you and trust me I'm no fan girl I work here too jerk." I snap back making him raise an eyebrow his face never changing from annoyed.
"You could foul me now get the hell out of my space." He snapped lower as I stepped back and went around him not even feeling the need to let my anger out any more then I needed it to be in front of this jerk. Hinata stood looking at me like she had seen a ghost and I blinked even more confused.
"Whats wrong Hinata.?"I asked wanting to know why she was looking at me super scared.
"Tehteh that guy is one of the seniors of Shuriken. I've heard he's gotten dozen of staff and press fired over little thing's...he's even worse then Sakura and you just argued with him oh god your going to get fired!" She said in a hushed shocked tone. I blink and look back towards the area the guy was resting in and shrugged.
"I don't care if he was the boss of the company he's rude and should chill out. He isn't a god." I said crossing my arms looking around making sure no one could hear what I was going to say next,"He couldn't fire me any way's because Jiraya just gave me the offer to be an idol..."I said closer to Hinata's ear. Hinata stepped back and grabbed my hands jumping up and down squeeling.
"Are you serious?Did you take it? Please tel me you took it if you didn't oh my gos Tenten I'll tell your father about the time you skinny dipped at the lake after you stole his car!" She said loudly as I tried to cover her mouth my face growing red. I took a deep breath and started to speak.
"Of course and your coming with me one way or another when thing's get sorted ok."I replied seriously. She smiled and hugged me happily.
"This is amazing I can't believe it how did this happen." She asked shaking me violently. I smiled and explained the situation to her making her look at me curiously.
"I would rather be your back up then Sakura's let's do this."She said hopping off the amp.
"Me too Hinata...So how about we go clean up get some food and celebrate aye."I said as she smiled and we headed out.
