"War of the bands."

One normal day on a town in Japan called Konoha; four girls were talking about a contest that was going to happen in Konoha.

"So, are we going in?" the blond one asked.

"YOU BET!" a pink haired one shouted.

"Ino, Sakura calm down…" a brunette said with her arms crossed looking at her two friends.

"Isn't it amazing? I'm so nervous!" Ino said jumping up and down.

"Hey guys, where's Hinata?" Sakura asked looking through the window.

"I don't know… She said she was coming! Right, Tenten?" Ino calmly sat down with a confused look on her face.

"What if Hiashi-san didn't let her come to my place?" Tenten stood up and went to the phone. She dialed Hinata and her younger sister, Hanabi, answered the phone. "Hey, Hana-chan! Is Hinata there?" she quickly asked.

"Nope! But she is on her way to your house. She left like 5 minutes ago," Hanabi happily replied.

"Okay, thanks Hana-chan... yeah bye…" she hang up.

"So?" Ino and Sakura asked.

"She's on her way," Tenten sat on her bed and looked at the lyrics. "What song are we singing for the try-outs?"

"I think 'Suddenly I See.' I like it, and we do a great job on that one!" Sakura said grabbing the lyrics and stomping her foot to the beat of the song.

"DINGDONG! DINGDONG!"

"I'll go," Ino said standing up from her seat and running towards the door.

"Hi Ino-chan" Hinata wasn't shy since she broke up with her boyfriend. Supposedly he 'cheated' on her. No one knows if it's true or not.

"Hey girl!" Ino said walking with Hinata to Tenten's room.

"You're late Hina-chan!" Sakura said putting her arms on her hips.

"Sorry Sakura, but my dad didn't let me come…"

"Why?" they all asked.

"Don't know, don't care!" See what I mean she's more rebel. Her boyfriend was a trouble maker so she became one, too.

"Guess what?" Sakura said grabbing her glass of water and taking a zip of it.

"What?" Tenten said looking at her with a serious look on her face.

"Connected is going to compete on the contest, too."

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" they all shouted at the same time.

"Yeap! I saw Uchiha when I got the information." Sasuke is Sakura's ex-boyfriend. Two months ago they broke-up for the same reason Hinata broke-up with her ex, Naruto.

"I bet you they are there just to bother us!" Ino shouted crossing her arms, "I hope Shikamaru falls asleep in the middle of the try-outs."

"Hinata you didn't say anything, Neji didn't mention it or what?" Tenten asked. Neji is Hinata's cousin, and Tenten's ex-boyfriend. They broke-up because a chick named Leiko was flirting with Neji and he didn't do anything about it. Actually, he liked it!

"Nope, Neji-Onissan didn't say a thing. I think he kept it to him self and his gang,"

"Well I hope they burn in hell!" everybody laughed. Two months ago the four of them broke-up with their ex-boyfriends the same day… really weird. But they cried for only two days and the rest they just tried to forget about it going to discos, parting more, flirting with hot guys… everything they didn't do while being in a relationship.

"Well let's practice!" Sakura said grabbing her acoustic guitar.

"OKAY!!" Everyone went to Tenten's garage and started connecting everything. When they where done the music began…


Somewhere else…

"So you saw Sakura getting information for the contest?" a blond boy with three lines in each cheek asked.

"Yeah, I bet you they are going to enter to the contest and ruin everything," a guy with black hair in a chicken ass style said.

"Hn. Of course they are going to ruin everything," a guy with long dark brown hair and white eyes said.

"Troublesome…" said a guy with hair style of a pineapple with a lazy look on his face.

"I wonder what the name of their band is. I know 'Butterflies' or something!" the blond one said.

"Shut up Naruto… sometimes you are such an airhead…"

"Hey! Shut up Sasuke-dobe!"

"Teme"

"Dobe"

"Teme"

"Dobe!"

"Guys…"

"Teme!"

"Dobe!!"

"Guys."

"Teme!!"

"Dobe!!"

"GUYS!!" Never make Hyuga Neji mad…

"Sorry Neji, but he started it!" Naruto said pointing Sasuke.

"You guys are so troublesome…"

"Shikamaru don't get me started," Sasuke hates Shikamaru when he says 'Troublesome.' It is annoying…

"Anyways… What song are we singing?" Neji asked.

"Hero/Heroine I like that one a lot!!" Naruto happily shouted.

"We weren't asking for your opinion, Teme," Sasuke said, obviously, trying to bother Naruto as usual…

"I'm still waiting for the day you to will stop fighting, yet I don't see it coming," Neji, annoyed by their fights, sat down in his desk getting Sasuke's guitar playing to the beat of 'Hero/Heroine.'

"Well for the first time, Sasuke, Naruto is right that song it's really cool, and I think that will be a great song for the competition," Shikamaru lazily said getting comfy on the floor ALMOST falling asleep.

"No one asked you, Lazy butt,"

"No need to get mad Sasuke…"

"Ice cube, Lazyass, and Knucklehead let's go practice tomorrow we have the try-outs and we have to be ready. We've won this contest four times in a row and we want the fifth, don't we?" Neji stood up and look and his three friends.

"OKAY!!" Naruto jumped from his seat, headed to the garage, while the others follow slowly. When they all arrived the music began.


The next day in the try-out the girls were next. They were the last ones, or that's what they thought…

"Thanks God, we are the last ones!" Ino shouted, as usual, raising her arms and standing from her seat.

"Chill, Ino. You don't need to be shouting, we can hear you…" Sakura smacked her forehead and looked at Ino with some hope that she listened what she just said.

"Oh, my God…"

"What happened, Tenten?" Sakura asked, then she looked the way her friend was looking, "What in the world are they doing here?"

"May I ask the same?" Sasuke asked Sakura in a way that will get mad everyone.

"Uchiha, you have no right to speak to me, so can you please shut your big mouth?"

"No, I can't."

"Oh, God! What do you think you're doing? Entering to the contest again?" Tenten stood in front of Neji looking at him.

"Yeah, do you have a problem?"

"As a matter of fact, yes I do," she firmly said putting her hands on her hips.

"Sour Candy, you're turn," a lady said coming out of the door, while the other band that was in there came out crying.

"Good luck," one of them said.

"Uh-oh… I think they didn't make it…" Hinata grabbed her bag and walked with the other girls towards the door. Feeling nervous, the girls went in and presented themselves.

"Watashiwa Tenten, desu," she bended down and quickly stood up.

"Watashiwa Sakura, desu," she did the same.

"Watashiwa Hinata, desu," the same.

"Watashiwa Ino, desu," the same.

"Well, girls please tell us…what do you have prepared for us today?" one of the judges asked.

"'Suddenly I See' of KT Tunstall," Tenten said grabbing the microphone and nodded so the girls could know they needed to get ready.

"You may start."

"(Tenten) Her face is a map of the world,

Is a map of the world.

You can see she's a beautiful girl,

She's a beautiful girl

And everything around her is a silver pool of light

People who surround her feel the benefit of it

It makes you calm

She'll hold you captivated in her palm."

"(Sakura) Suddenly I see."

"(Ino and Hinata) Suddenly I see."

"(Tenten) This is what I want to be."

"(Sakura and Tenten) Suddenly I see."

"(Ino and Hinata) Suddenly I see."

"(Tenten) Why the hell it means so much to me."

"(Ino and Hinata) Suddenly I see."

"(Sakura) This is what I want to be."

"(Sakura and Tenten) Suddenly I see."

"(Ino and Hinata) Suddenly I see."

"(Tenten) Why the hell it means so much to me."


Naruto's ear was on the door, obviously he wanted to hear them singing.

"So? What can you hear?" Sasuke asked.

"They're pretty good…they lead voice is Tenten," he firmly said.


"Really?" Neji did the same as Naruto and dropped his mouth wide open.

"(Tenten) I feel like walking the world

Like walking the world

You can hear she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white

Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember what you heard

She likes to leave you hanging on her word."


"Shit, she is good!!"

"Told you, Neji, but as always you don't believe me!"


"(Sakura) Suddenly I see."

"(Ino and Hinata) Suddenly I see."

"(Tenten) This is what I want to be."

"(Sakura and Tenten) Suddenly I see."

"(Sakura) This is what I want to be."

"(Sakura and Tenten) Suddenly I see."

"(Ino and Hinata) Suddenly I see."

"(Tenten) Why the hell it means so much to me."

"(Sakura) And she's taller than most and she's looking at me

I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine

She makes me feel like I could be a tower

Big strong tower, yeah."

"(Ino) The power to be

The power to give

The power to see, yeah, yeah."

"(All)Suddenly I see."

"(Hinata) She got the power to be

The power to give

"(Sakura and Tenten) Why the hell it means so much to me."

The judges clapped and the guys just froze outside from the audition room.

"Well done girls!! You made it! You are going to be on the contest!" one of the judges said excited.

"We've never had a girl group before!! So I'm really excited!" the female judge shouted.

The girls ran to each other and hugged each other, jumped up and down, and more stuff. They got out and when Hinata opened the door Naruto and Neji fell on the floor. Tenten bended down and looked at Neji.

"You know… you are going to hear us in the contest so no need to spy on our auditions," Tenten stood back up and walked away with the rest of the girls laughing.

"Connected, your turn…" the lady said.

"Let's go and win this thing," Neji firmly said and walked to the audition room.

The boys entered in the audition room and presented themselves to the judges.

"Neji."

"Naruto."

"Shikamaru."

"Sasuke." Yes they are too lazy to say the whole thing. Lazyasses…

"Okay, what are you singing for us today?" the female judge asked.

"'Hero/Heroine' by 'Boys Like Girls'," Neji said adjusting the microphone.

"Okay, you may start."

"(Neji) It's too late baby

There's no turning around

I got my hands in my pocket

And my head in a cloud

This is how I do

When I think about you."

"(Sasuke) I never thought you could break me apart

I keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart

You wanna get inside

Then you can get in line

But not this time."

"(Neji & Sasuke) 'Cause you caught me off guard

Now I'm runnin' and screamin',

I feel like a hero

And you are my heroine."


Outside curiosity ran through the girls veins. So Tenten and Sakura ran to the door and putted their ears to listen.

"Damn, Neji sings good!!" Tenten almost shouted.

"Sasuke, too!!" Sakura SHOUTED.


Sasuke looked at the door, "Sakura…"

"(Naruto) I won't try to philosophize

I'll just take a deep breath and I look in your eyes

This is how I feel

And it's so surreal."

"(Shikamaru) I got a closet filled up to the brim

With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons

And I don't know why

You'd even try

But I won't lie."

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) You caught me off guard

Now I'm runnin' and screamin'

I feel like a hero

And you are my heroine

Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin."

"(Sasuke & Neji) And I feel a weakness coming on

Never felt so good to be so wrong

Had my heart on lockdown

And then you turned me around

And I feel like a newborn child

Every time I get a chance to see you smile

It's that complicated

I was so jaded."

"(All) And you caught me off guard

Now I'm runnin' and screamin'

I feel like a hero

And you are my heroine

Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin."

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) I feel like a hero."

"(Neji & Sasuke) And I feel a weakness coming on."

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) And you are my heroine."

"(Neji & Sasuke) Never felt so good to be so wrong,

Had my heart on lockdown,

And then you turned me around,

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin."

"(Neji & Sasuke) And I feel like a new born child,

Every time I get a chance to see you smile,

It's that complicated."

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) I was so jaded,

I feel like a hero."

"(Neji & Sasuke) And I feel a weakness coming on."

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) And you are my heroine."

"(Neji & Sasuke) Never felt so good to be so wrong,

Had my heart on lockdown,

And then you turned me around,

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin."

"(Neji & Sasuke) And I feel like a new born child,

Every time I get a chance to see you smile,

It's that complicated."

"(Naruto & Shikamaru) I was so jaded."

The judges loved 'Connected'. They were clapping so loud the girls outside stayed in shock. Ino and Hinata pulled Tenten and Sakura from the door and ran out. Of course, they didn't want the guys to know they were 'low' like them and that they were spying on them.

"Wow…"That was all Tenten could say.

"That's why they win every single year!" Sakura angrily shouted and stomped her feet as she walked out of the building.

"But this year WE are going to win, right girls?" Ino stood in front of the rest and they all looked down to the floor. "Don't tell me you are going to give up so easily?"

"Ino is right!" Tenten jumped next to Ino and looked at her.

"I'm right?"

"Of course you are right! We are not going to give up so easily, and we know that's what they want!"

"Yeah, you are right! We're, like, so not gonna let them win!" Sakura clapped and jumped up and down excited. "We're so gonna win!!"

"Hinata, are you in our side?" Tenten asked leaning close enough to hear Hinata.

"Well… How can I say no to you! And obviously I'm not gonna let Naruto and his band win!" Hinata high fived Tenten.

"Okay, I mean they are so stupid that when the phone rings they answer the door." They all cracked up and walked together to the park. They all sat down on a bench below a cherry blossom. They talked for a while and then the guys passed by.

"Hey, Tenten… Did the audition go well?" Neji looked right into Tenten's eyes and she looked right into his.

"Um, Neji… What are you looking at?" Sasuke asked waving his hand on Neji's face.

"Tennie-chan, why are you looking at my cousin?"Hinata did the same as Sasuke, but on Tenten's face…

"What?" They both said at the same time.

"Ha, are you sure you don't like each other anymore?" Sakura asked full of curiosity.

"Like each other? What the hell?!" They both said at the same time once again.

"Hahaha! Well I wouldn't doubt about it!" Ino said giggling with Sakura and Hinata.

"Hey, Ino you don't like Shikamaru anymore, do you?" Tenten crossed her arms under her chest and gave a dirty look at Ino.

"I-I don't l-like h-him an-anymore…"Ino looked down then left and down again.

"Ha! See who's laughing now."

"Tenten!" Ino pushed Tenten off the bench, but before her fall Neji grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him making Tenten flush like a tomato.

"Let go of my hand, please."

"Oh, sure. Sorry…" Neji let go of Tenten's hand slowly.

"Um…Tennie-chan, we should get going. Let's go." Sakura pulled Tenten away from Neji and walked in Hinata's house direction.

"They're going to my house…"

"And your point is?" Sasuke annoyingly asked.

"He wants to see Mickey Mouse…" Naruto whispered to Sasuke and Shikamaru.

"I heard that. And no I don't want to see Tenten."

"How do you know I was talking about Tenten?"

"Anyways, let's go and ruin their celebration slumber party."

"Well, that's not such a bad idea… Now that you think about it. We could ruin their party," Sasuke said thinking of what they should do.

"Okay, let's get going!" And they left running to Neji's house, still thinking what they should do to ruin their little slumber party. Nothing good was going to come out of this. Just more hate from our girls. Really, what are the boys thinking?
