Ao Hana here! I just joined though I've had older accounts quite a while ago. This is my debut story on this account so reviews are really loved! Well... Before we start the actual story here I'll have the summary and all the junk like that.

Here's your basic AU story where your favorite Naruto characters are in Highschool. But they're separated into two different bands and at the end of the school year competing in the schools 'Battle of the Bands' for a prize of a record deal with Konoha Inc. and $10,000! Not after having the usual teenage troubles though.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters or the songs used by the bands unless stated otherwise, because if I'm feeling specially creative I will type up my own songs. This disclaimer will not be posted in any other chapters, please don't bug me about that.

Just as a note, this will be in no specific persons point of view (PoV) unless it's put in italics above a certain section. Though I won't use a certain persons point of view often, except for here in this first chapter... There will also be scene changes which will be marked by the line thing... Now that all of that is done and over with, now to start with the story!

Chapter 1: Meet The Bands!

Haruno Sakura's PoV

Mornings, everybody hates them, including myself. One thing that makes it about ten times worse is the fact that today is the first day of Highschool at Shinobi High. Practically the only good thing is the fact that I'm still with all my friends from Middle School, who are also in the band we put together in 7th grade, Hyuuga Hinata, Tenten, and Yamanaka Ino. We still need a drummer though, which is troubling. Because no good band doesn't have a drummer.

Eh, I just hope we can find one this year. Enough with my inner monologue though, time to get ready...

Pink shirt, red skirt? Or red shirt, denim skirt? Or maybe I should wear some jeans and a white shirt with red elbow-length sleves? Gah, I hate this! It's horrible picking an outfit on the first day of school.

I think I'll chose the third option, if I want to get a few guys on the first day I shouldn't be overly girly, right?

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Hinata rolled over and pressed the sleep button on her alarm clock before turning it off. Five o' clock, like usual. The point of getting up so early? Having a large breakfast with her family which she entirely despised, though she didn't show it on the outside. That's what you get for being the heir to an enormous fortune.

A normal day, except for the fact that she was now back into the same school as her cousin, who had some sort of grudge on her. This was going to be a horrible year, especially because the band she was in and the band he was in were probably going to be going against each other in the school's annual Battle of the Bands.

She started getting dressed in her usual clothes for the hot summer-like days, a short-sleeved white shirt with khaki pants that went down to the middle of her shins. Afterwards she headed down to breakfast as usual, sitting down in the traditional Japanese style on the right side of the table, right next to her father that was at the head.

After about five minutes, everybody was seated and the maids started bringing out several types of breakfast foods and setting it on the table. Everybody eventually started eating and average breakfast talk ensued.

"So, Hanabi, are you nervous about your first day of fourth grade?" Hinata's father, Hiashi, asked her younger sister.

Yeah, he always worries about her first. She's not even starting in a new school! Hinata thought, doing her best not to roll her pearly eyes.

"No, I'm excited. I'll be better than everyone like always, though. It's annoying, it's like they're not even trying at gym, music, art, and everything else!." Hanabi said, sighing at the end. "I just hope there's some new kid who will make it so everybody doesn't think I'm showing off all the time."

Hinata heard a quiet snickering from further down the table, since practically everybody could hear Hanabi's complaining. None other than her cousin, Neji, was snickering at his youngest cousins ranting.

This year is going to be horrible.

It was now 7:35 and people were starting to gather on the school grounds, hanging around in their cliques or just randomly standing around if their friends weren't there yet. The second option of the few was what Yamanaka Ino was doing, waiting for Hinata and Sakura, that is. Those two are always late! Well... Late for being early anyway. How else are we supposed to get our socializing in!

"I hope you haven't been having an inner monologue for the past five minutes Ino, because it sure looks like you're having one now." Giggling was heard from behind her.

"Oh, very funny, forehead girl." Ino said, turning around quickly to see Sakura with Hinata right behind her. They were both giggling from Sakura's comment until Sakura decided to speak up again.

"Why do you always wear practically the same outfit on the first day of school, Ino. Always a purple mini-skirt and a lavender blouse."

"Oh, come on. You did practically the same thing until this year! What made you have a sudden change in style?" Ino smirked. "Oh well, forget about that for now. Guess what I've heard some of the other girls saying. There's a boy from a family almost as rich as Hinata's coming here, and he's in our grade. You've probably heard of the family name, Uchiha. I think it's his older brother who's running Konoha Inc., Uchiha Itachi, I think it was. Well, his younger brother and the potential heart-throb of the year is coming here."

"Seriously! Well, we'll have to see it to believe it, won't we?" Sakura said, smirking in a 'He's-mine,-no-taking' way.

"Um... Well, I th-think I know who y-you're talking about..." Hinata said, poking her index fingers together nervously, a habit she'd had since around second grade. "He... He's in m-my c-c-cousin's band... J-just auditioned over the s-summer and got in."

"Is he hot?" Both Sakura and Ino said at the exact same time.

"Well... Um... I couldn't really say, since I don't generally have the same opinions as you. But, you could s-s-see for yourselves s-since he's here now..." Hinata pointed over to where a black limo was pulling into the school's driveway. She was immediately dragged by her two friends to try and shove through the crowd of fangirls to get a good look.

The result? Drool, heart-shaped eyes, and yelling. "SASUKE-KUN! SASUKE-KUN! SASUKE-KUUUUUUNN! OVER HERE!" With Hinata still being dragged behind them by her wrist Ino and Sakura rushed up to him and started obsessing.

"Geh, let go of my arms, stupid girls." Sasuke started trying to shake them off while still keeping his cool appearance. He noticed Hinata then, though. "Hinata, will you get your friends off me and tell me where your cousin is?"

Hinata blushed and tapped her friends on the shoulders, making them decide to get up and just start blushing and chuckling nervously. "And... Um... Neji is s-s-somewhere around th-the front d-doors of the s-school..."

"Okay, thank you." He walked off only to be attacked by other 'rabid' fangirls.

Just then the bell rung and they all walked into the school, only to be ushered into the auditorium by the teachers. Talk about eardrum-bursting sound, everybody was talking so loud you could hardly hear yourself think. They had to endure that for five minutes, and they could notice other freshmen trying to plug their ears, failing in every way, shape, or form.

A lady who looked about thirty years old walked up onto the auditorium stage, yelling in a voice that was heard over all of the students, "QUIET DOWN!".

Everybody was immediately quieted and started paying close attention. "As many of you know, I'm the principal of this school, Tsunade. I would like to welcome all of the freshmen and new students this year. Now that we're over the boring stuff, since your teachers will most likely tell you the rules, I would like to get to something all of you will be interested in."

"At the end of the year, about a week before school ends, we'll be having a 'Battle of the Bands'. All of the bands who would like to compete from this school may, and they can be made up of whatever grade level. Any bands who are sure they're going to be competing, please have the leader raise their hand now."

Several hands went up into the air, one of the many being Hyuuga Neji's, and Sakura stuck her hand up in the air after a miniature debate with Ino. A smile could be clearly seen on Tsunade's face.

"Okay, and any bands who still need another person to make their band complete, keep your hand raised." Almost all of them went down, though Sakura's hand stayed up. "Okay, the pink haired girl back there. What does your band need."

"Um..." Sakura said, a little quiet at first since everybody was staring in her direction. "Well, we need a drummer for our band."

"Okay, your band may have the auditorium after school today for auditions. Any girls who are interested in being a drummer for this most likely wonderful band report to the auditorium at 3:30PM after school today."

She went through the same thing with the other bands, giving them different dates for doing the tryouts, then started explaining how they could enter. "There are tryouts for the Battle of the Bands too, they will be held approximately a month from now. You will hear announcements about it and see posters up on the walls."

"As you leave this room, there will be two tables by each door. It doesn't matter what table you go to for your schedule, since each table has one copy of each students. You are dismissed, be to your first hour classes (which are also your home rooms) in forty-five minutes." Tsunade walked off stage, disappearing behind the curtain.

Since Sakura and company were near the back, they were able to get to one of the tables first. A black-haired, red-eyed lady was sitting on the chair behind the table. "Names, please?"

"Haruno Sakura"

"Hyuuga Hinata"

"Yamanaka Ino"

They were handed their respective schedules and started sharing the information printed on each.

"I'm in room 213 for home room, where are both of you?" Ino asked, trying to peek over her friends shoulders to see what they had. "And, more importantly, I'm locker number 987."

"Just look at our schedules so you don't have to keep bugging us about every hour." Sakura handed over her schedule, and so did Hinata.

"Awesome! We're all together for every class! Wait... What's this note on the bottom. 'Students in the same homeroom will have the same classes in the same hour.' Oh... So that's why. Whatever, lets just hope we aren't stuck with tons of goths or anything like that. My locker isn't anywhere near both of yours, though..."

"You'll get over it, Ino. This is where we turn to go to our lockers, me and Hinata anyway, see you in home room in about twenty minutes?"

"Twenty minutes." Ino nodded and turned to walk the opposite direction towards her locker.

Eighteen minutes had passed, and Ino, Sakura, and Hinata were right at the door of their homeroom, walking in only to find that they were with practically everybody they knew, except for one rather creepy-looking kid with red hair and apparently too much black eyeliner.

Just then, a rather familiar blonde walked up. "Sakura-chan! I didn't know you were in a band, too, let alone the leader!"

"Well, believe it. And from what you're implying, you're in a band also. Well, for your information, the Migoto Hana are going to kick your band's but all the way to the moon and back!"

"Well, we have more people in our band than yours so obviously we're going to be better. We have Neji and Lee in 10th grade, and then me, Shikamaru, Sasuke, and the red haired kid over there, Gaara, from our grade!" Naruto yelled. "The Shinobi are going to beat your band's asses big time so you won't even want to show your faces in this school again!"

A/N: Well, in my opinion that chapter was pretty good, or maybe I'm just thinking that because I spent three whole hours typing it without a break... Except for one round of computer pinball.

Don't complain about the band's names. I have been very uncreative this week. But here's what they mean.

Migoto Hana - Beautiful Flowers

The Shinobi - (You should be able to guess what this means, so I'm not going to tell you)

Until next chapter, sayonara minna-san!
