Yes, this is awesome! I can finally do what I've always wanted to do! Now, If anyone hates Linkin Park, Naruto, or the way I combined the two, don't read this story!!!

Read and Review!


The lights shown down on them like a raident beam of light. None of them were nervous, and were fully prepared for what was to come. An announcer that was in front of them was dressed up in formal attire. He had a mircrophone in his hand, and was currently talking to the audience. "Alright ladies and gentelmen, are you ready? Here they are again for the third time in a row. Ya know um, ya love um, give it up for 'Crimson Emerald'!"

Millions of people were cheering for the group behind the announcer. What an honor it was to be able to play in the same place for the third time in one year. It must have been Christmas all over again. The announcer quickly trotted off to an unmarked area on the stage.

The group, known as Crimson Emerald, stepped up to the front of the stage. Lead singer, Uzumaki Naruto, grabbed the microphone that the announcer had placed back on the microphone stand (A/N: This is a Linkin Park song. Naruto plays Mike Shinoda, and Sakura plays Chester Bennington). The other lead singer, Haruno Sakura, grabbed the other microphone opposite from the first one. Uchiha Sasuke checked the tuning on his electric guitar, while Sai grabbed his drum sticks, both ready to play. Naruto took a deep breath, and started to sing:

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed But I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head Like a face that I hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time I lie A face that laughs every time I fall (And watches everything)

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is hearing me Right beneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me Points out all my mistakes to me You've got a face on the inside too and Your paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off first But I know what I can't stand Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can but

Everybody has a face that they hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time they lie A face that laughs every time they fall (And watches everything)

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is watching you too Right inside your skin

[x2]
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin [x3]

The sun goes down I feel the light betray me The sun goes down I feel the light betray me

The sun I feel the light betray me The sun I feel the light betray me

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

After the song, the crowd was cheering with joy. "Yet another great preformance done by Crimson Emerald!" The announcer called out to the crowd. Sakura waved and smiled at the cheering crowd. She felt like she had done another good deed in her life. Even though the rest of the band didn't think she could play lead singer, she proved them wrong. It made her feel happy. Naruto was also waving, and giving a big grin to everyone out in the crowd. Sasuke and Sai staying silent as they watched Naruto and Sakura steal all of the attention.

After a few more songs, the band was done with yet another great concert. People started to pile up on the stage, asking for autographs and hugs. Sakura seemed to get the most attention, from the guys. Sasuke, on the other hand, got a lot of attention from the girls. For some reason, Sakura felt jealous of Sasuke getting all the attention from his fan girls. She didn't know why though. Ever since she got to be one of the lead singers, Sasuke never treated her with any respect. Scratch that, he never even talked to the poor girl. She felt distant from him. In due time, she started to have a crush on him. Sasuke thought that it was pathetic.

After all the fangirls and guys got their autographs and hugs, the band gathered up all their equipment and headed to their tour bus. On the way there, Naruto was grinning from a job well done, and from all the phone numbers he got on his white shirt. He felt it necsesary to call each and everyone of them, so they wouldn't feel left out. At least, that was what he had told them. "Oh boy, I can't wait to call them!" He was telling the group. Sakura just rolled her eyes, and the others ignored him.

It was late out. Around midnight or one. When the group pilled in the bus, Naruto went straight to the back, as did Sakura. Sasuke and Sai went to the back also, but Kakashi and Iruka stayed up in the front. Their driver, Mite Gai, gave them one of his infamous grins of triumph. Kakashi sweat-dropped at the action, but none the less greated their abnormal driver. "Hello Gai, I take it everything went well with the bus?" Kakashi asked. Gai nodded. He felt a little humiliated, but shruged it off. "Everything is tip top okie donkie!" Gai told Kakashi. Iruka took out a pair of headphones from the drawer in the seat he was sitting on, and placed them in his ears. He turned on his I-pod, and selected one of their songs called 99 Problems. He listened to it whenever he wanted to get away from his annoying driver and his speeches.

Gai had infact, wrecked one of the tires on the bus on the way to their destination earlier. With his everlasting youth, he decided to push the bus the rest of the two miles there. When the band unloaded everything they needed and took off, Gai had worked pain stakenly on fixing the tire. Even though everyone knew they were going to get home safely, Gai decided to tell them his tale. "You wouldn't beleive how hard it was to get the tire for a bus like this." He said as he stated pulling out of the parking lot. "Man, I'd never come across a more difficult situation before in my life." Iruka turned up the music on his I-pod, to block out the sounds around him. He felt content, until Gai started speaking louder. "I had to run three miles to get to the nearest tire store, and I had to wait half an hour for them to get me the tire for the bus!" Kakashi sighed. This was going to be a long trip home.

Meanwhile in the back, Naruto was dialing up all the phone numbers on his shirt. "Hey, Sakura-chan! You wanna help me with these phone ca-OW!! What'd ya do that for!?" Naruto cried out as Sakura punched him on the head. "Because, I don't want to get involved with your stupied girlfriends!" Sakura yelled. Naruto, fearful of Sakura at the moment, back away from her and continued to phone the girls who had written their numbers on his shirt. Sasuke, who was on the opposite side of the two, was listening to his I-pod. He paid no heed to anyone around him, just what he was listining to. Sai was reading a book, caught up in it. Yes, this was how the group was after concerts and meets. None of the four teenagers listened to what they had to say. Sakura sometimes talked to Naruto, but that was it. No one really seemed to get along.

They were like one big seperated family.

This is a big accomplishment for me. Making this story will surely make it so that I can finish both stories.

!Ja Ne!
