CHAPTER I – THE BEGINNING

Author's Note: Hithere fellow Naruto addicts! This is my first fanfic I passed at the so I hope this story's not that bad. I mean, I just came across with this idea and then suddenly, before I knew it, I was already writing this story! Oh, well, I would also appreciate if you'd leave a comment after reading my story so that I'd know which part I'll improve the next time I write another one.

" Will you keep it down? "

Uchiha Sasuke asked, wearing an annoyed expression on his face. He had been sleeping for a few hours in their van, but it was disturbed by his rowdy friends.

" Ow, c'mon Sasuke, don't sleep again. We're nearly there, right Neji?"Narutoasked at the figure in front of him.

" Yeah, " Neji shortly replied.

" Great, I'm starving already, " Li piped in.

" Yeah, me too. I could go for a steaming hot seafood ramen, you know, " Naruto said.

" Hey, we already had our lunch, and you're telling me you're stomachs are grumbling again? You two are unbelievable. " Shikamaru said.

" I know that, but that was several hours ago, isn't it? " Naruto protested.

Shikamaru shook his head annoyingly while Sasuke just shrugged. He was getting impatient and grumpy at the same time. They were travelling for almost 5 hours and in his opinion, they were nowhere near their destination, Osaka.

The only reason they were going to Osaka is that they were bound to perform a concert there. They were a famous boy band that's why. Sasuke, being the lead singer, also happens to be the leader of the pack. His bestfriend, Naruto and Shikamaru were the guitarists, Neji, the pianist while Li, on the other hand, is the drummer. Their band, Red Clouds, is one of the popular bands not only in Japan but also in other Asian countries making girls all over Asia swoon over them.

The lead singer, Uchiha Sasuke, has a silky, jet – back hair and a piercing, cold black eyes. He also had a fair skin which he inherited from his mother, unlike his older brother Itachi who got all of his qualities and features from their father. Their parents' died in a terrible car accident when he's still little. Itachi was already 13 years old then while he, on the other hand, was 8. After their parents' burial, they were put on the care of their uncle and aunt. Itachi and Sasuke were very close, and can be almost compared to the closeness of peanut butter and jelly, but when Itachi reached his 18th birthday, he disappeared suddenly, without even a trace. Nobody knows why, or how.

As a matter – of – fact, Sasuke hadn't heard anything from his older brother for almost a decade. Nope, he hadn't received a single letter from him. He assumed he died. Yes, he knows that was evil of him to think that way, especially from his own brother, but he grew distant from Itachi ever since he left him without a word. For him, he's not the sensitive little Sasuke anymore. He was a grown – up now, living in a three – storey mansion with his band. He's very intelligent also, perhaps you can call him a genius, because he had an IQ of 196 / 200. People around him considered him perfect, parents wishing him as a son – in – law, women wanting him as boyfriend, and guys intimidated with him. It's hard not to, because he seems like a mythical God that reincarnated to a body of a human, but for him, he didn't. For Sasuke, he knew people only look at him on the outside; they didn't knew his inner qualities, for he deeply knew they would be disappointed. It's because he had a cold and sarcastic personality which maybe caused by the dark happenings of his past.

His bestfriend, Uzumaki Naruto, on the other hand, has a spiky sun – kissed blonde hair and innocent, ocean – blue eyes. He's also tan, and he had a sort of bubbly and talkative personality. He's very friendly and womanizer, too, which makes him the next most popular in their band. He had tons of girlfriends already, which makes him really a complete opposite of Sasuke. Recently, he dates Hyuuga Hinata, a famous, cute and sweet actress from the show business.

Hyuuga Neji was a cousin of Hinata. He had a very fair skin, fairer than Sasuke's, and a pair of pearly, white eyes. He had already grown his chestnut – brown hair below his shoulders which made him look manlier. He currently dates a supermodel named TenTen. He also had a silent and cold personality like Sasuke, but he can be caring and protective at times, which makes him a lot different from Sasuke. He's also a genius, although Sasuke's IQ is higher than his.

Nara Shikamaru, the first guitarist in the band, also had a coal black hair that was above his shoulders and beetle black eyes. To make himself bit more unique, he tied his hair in a ponytail which made him look like a cool member of a fraternity. He's also tan. He had the laziest personality in the band, but, like Sasuke and Neji, he can also be considered as a genius. Sabako Temari, an individual pop singer is his current girlfriend.

Lastly, Rock Li, the second guitarist of the band, had a shiny black hair and black eyes. He also had those ultra long eyelashes that makes him look innocent and determined. He's also fair – skinned, and exceptionally tall, perhaps the tallest of the band. Like Naruto, he had a bubbly and determined personality. He currently dates a commoner which they knew from the name of Kin.

Naruto took out his cellphone in his duffel bag. " I guess I could text my girlfriend Hinata for awhile to ease my boredom, " he said.

Neji frowned. Being a very close cousin to Hinata, it made him very protective to her. Clearly, he disapproves of their relationship. Even though Naruto was one of his friends, he doesn't want his cousin tarred in a relationship with a rowdy and playboy blonde guy. He wants what's always the best for Hinata.

In fact, not a long time ago, he set Hinata and Sasuke together to see if they would make it, but they didn't. Apparently, Sasuke told them all that he wasn't ready in having a relationship with anyone. And also, in the group, even though Sasuke's the hottest of them all, he never had one single girlfriend in his life. Yes, since his birth.

" Hey, that's a good idea. I guess I'll text Temari too, " Shikamaru said brightly.

Sasuke looked out the window. He sure was the hottest of the band, but he's the only one who hasn't got a girlfriend; or even experienced dating at his age, which is 23. That sounds almost a crime, but it's true. In fact, one time, there appeared a rumor he was a gay. Preposterous, he thought. Of course he's not a gay. Not a single drop of being a homo runs in his blood. He's not only interested with the women around him. May it be singers like him, or actresses, or even the normal/commoners, neither of them. He thinks maybe that none of them has got the quality that really made him go wild for, like the qualities his late mother had.

" We're almost there, " Neji said.

Neji's voice broke Sasuke's thoughts. He blinked several times and realized they were somewhere in Kyoto.

" Well, in that case, we need to get ready. " Shikamaru said, glancing at his watch. Li nodded in agreement as he prepares his bag.

Sasuke groaned. He was still sleepy, but nevertheless, he also prepared himself.

After a few minutes, the van stopped. " Hey, are we there already? " Li asked attentively.

Neji shooked his head. " No, but I think the engine broke down. We never travelled this far before. "

Naruto looked concerned. " What we'll we do now? The show starts in an hour. "

" Where are we now, by the way? " Shikamaru asked.

" I saw a sign back there. It says that we're in Kyoto. " Sasuke replied calmly.

They looked around their windows. It was already dark outside, and all they can see was another highway and in their left side are trees. There are very few cars passing by and they can't get help from them because they also seem to be in a hurry.

" Well, now what? " Neji asked suddenly.

" I don't know, we can't wait here forever; we've got a show that starts in an hour, we can't forfeit it, " Shikamaru answered worriedly.

Sasuke thought hard and then made another glance at the window. " Maybe the two of us, " he pointed at Naruto " we'll go into town and ask for help. Maybe the end of this highway is a city or something. "

" Good thinking! " Naruto nodded appreciatively as he stood up, ready to go outside.

" Wait! How about if all of us go? " Li suggested hopefully.

" No way. No one will be able to look after the car. " Shikamaru opposed.

" Shikamaru's right, Li. Perhaps it'd be better if we just stay and wait for them to come back. " Neji said.

" Fine, fine, " Li said as he slumped back at his seat, looking defeated.

" Wait, I have a better idea, " Shikamaru said. He reached his pocket and took out his cellphone. " I'll call Kakashi – sensei. Bet he's really worried where we are now. " Hatake Kakashi happens to be the handler/manager of their band and really does a great job handling them.

He dialled Kakashi's number and waited for it to ring. After a couple of minutes, he frowned and snapped his phone shut.

" What? " Naruto asked impatiently.

Shikamaru sighed. " No signal, "

The five of them groaned.

" Well I guess we should go for Plan A. " Sasuke said.
