DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto… Sadly Masashi Kishimoto does, well not sadly, because if he didn't then it wouldn't exist and that would not be good… but still, I wish I owned it… D:
###= time/place skip
Italics = flashback
I hope you like it! There will be more romance soon :D
"Gaa-chan!" Gaara's head had snapped around as soon as he heard the sound of his best friend.
"What is it Naru?" He said, smiling at the excited blonde.
"I think we should start a band!" she screamed loudly.
"What?" He said, unblocking his ears.
"A band! Join me!" she said, winking.
"Why?" he growled.
"Because!" she said, crossing her arms.
"We can't have a band with only two people, Naru-chan." He said, grinning.
"But I already have more members." She cheered.
"Fine." Gaara groaned as the blonde spear-tackled him to the ground.

"Oi! Naru-chan!" Kiba called to the distracted blonde, worry evident in his voice, "What's eatin' you?"
"Kiba…" Naruto mumbled, "My bwish off a mavva wonts ma tcho go buck to Konoha…"
"What?" Kiba was dumbstruck, "Naru, if you mumble I can't understand you."
"Yeah, Naru." Neji said, raising an eyebrow, clearly curious as to what Naru was saying.
Gaara grunted in agreement.
"I SAID: MY BITCH OF A MOTHER WANTS ME TO GO BACK TO KONOHA!" Naruto screamed before the tears started streaming down her face.
The group was silent for what seemed like hours. Gaara was (surprisingly) the first one to talk. "What?" he gasped.
Naruto was currently on the ground, in the foetal position, crying.
"Naru-chan?" Gaara crouched next to her and placed his arm around her shoulder.
"Naru, don't worry." Said Kiba, "We'll still see you," he smiled reassuringly, "We will come and visit you all the time."
"But it's all my fault!" Naruto wailed, "The band will break up!"
"Naru, you were the one who wanted the band, without you, the band wouldn't be cool anyway." Neji stated in a flat tone.
"But still…" Naru sniffled and continued to cry into Gaara's now drenched t-shirt.
"Naru…" Gaara mumbled, "Don't cry." He hated it when people cried. "I will call you every night. And we'll all go on web-cam all the time." He said, smiling slightly.
Naruto's wailing was beginning to quieten and turn into small hiccups. "Thanks guys." She smiled.
"When are you leaving?" Kiba sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Tomorrow." Naruto mumbled.
"What?" the group gasped loudly, causing Naruto to burst into tears again.
###
It was the next morning and Naruto had just finished packing her toiletries and final items for the move. She sighed and began to lug her bags out the front door of her house and into her brother's car.
"You sure you're okay sis?" Kyuubi asked, tilting his head.
Naruto nodded and gave a half-convincing smile. "Yea, I'm just a little sad." She said.
"Oi! Naru!" Naruto's head snapped up at the sound of footsteps and her name.
"Kiba! Gaara! Neji!" She called to the approaching figures. She could feel the tears coming again but she held them in.
"Naru-chan! We just wanted to wish you off well." Kiba said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yea, the place won't be as much fun without you." Neji stated, remaining in perfect posture.
Naruto laughed, she had only ever seen Neji loosen up when playing the Keyboard.
"Naru. I'll miss you." Gaara mumbled; Naru could see that his eyeliner was smudged and she smiled.
"Wow Gaara-kun!" she yelled patting his on the back, "You really do have emotions!" she laughed and Gaara's face flushed a crimson red colour.
"NARU!" Kyuubi yelled from the front seat of the car. "Get in!"
"Bye Guys." Naruto said, hugging them all tightly. "I'll call you all tonight!" she called as she opened the car door.
"Bye bye Naru-chan." Gaara whispered as the car drove away.
"Kyuu-chan?" Naruto whispered from the passenger seat.
"What?" he asked her, caringly.
"Why is mum sending us to Konoha?" she lifted her head from her knees.
"Because the bitch wants us out of her house." He grumbled, clearly annoyed with her decision.
"Oh." Naruto mumbled as Kyuubi pulled into big parking lot.
"Come on Naru." He said, trying to cheer her up. "I'll let you have first dibs on the bed."
Naruto's legs pushed her out of the car and she raced up the stairs and into a large hallway.
"Oi! Kyuu!" she called down the stairs, "Which room is ours!"
"It's the one on the end!" he called, trowing the keys up to her.
"Thanks!" she yelled as she bounded down the hallway and fumbled with the key.
After finally getting the door open she ran in and furiously ran around trying to get her bearings. She noted the place of the kitchenette, the bathroom and, she gasped as she saw it, the balcony. It was large enough to fit a small hammock, but not too big that it stuck out of the side of the building. "Kyuu! I chose this one!" she screamed as she retrieved her bags off of her brother.
"Awww Man!" he groaned when he noticed it. "If I'd know there would be a balcony, I wouldn't have given you a choice."
"Well you did!" she giggled as she began to unpack her things.
Kyuubi groaned and ran his fingers through his rough, red hair. Naru, on the other hand, was running around the apartment trying to find anything to eat. "Where's the instant ramen!" she called to her brother.
"You need to buy it!" he called to her, slapping himself on the forehead. I mean, honestly, how stupid could you get.
"Where's the money!" she called.
"It's in your bag!" he sighed again, this was going to be a long day.
Naruto rummaged through her things for a while before finding her purse and walking to the door. "I'm gonna' go buy some now Kyuu. Ja Ne!" she said, running out the door and slamming it shut behind her.
As she walked around the streets she began to hum and sing her newest song. She had written it for her band and they had not sung it once. It wasn't even on record yet. She was especially fond of the song though, it held her fondest memories of her friends back in Kumo. The tune was sad, but joyful. Sad because of the circumstances, but joyful because it surrounded her with her happy memories and friends. She sighed. Looking around she realised that she had never been to Konoha before. "Shit!" she was lost.
"Can I help you?" a tall dark haired boy called from one of the streets.
"Umm, can you direct me to a shop?" Naruto asked, slightly scarred.
"What kind of shop? Be more specific dobe!" the boy growled, Naruto whimpered.
"A shop that sells ramen, especially miso flavoured." She cheered, dancing slightly.
The boy looked at her weirdly before shaking off her odd behaviour.
"Sure." He said; walking in a different direction to what Naruto was going.
"Thank you!" she cheered as he continued to lead her.
She began to hum again, and the boy looked over to her a couple of times to notice a tear or two sliding down her face.
"Nice song." The boy said, expressionless.
"Thanks!" she smiled, "I wrote it." She pointed her thumb towards herself and puffed out her chest.
Sasuke stopped, surprised. The petite, little girl standing next to him had written a 7 toned song. "How long did it take?" he asked, clearly interested in the subject.
"Umm, I started it about 3 days ago and I finished it yesterday at lunchtime." She mumbled to herself, "About 2 days." She shrugged.
"Wow." The boy sighed.
The girl next to him was now skipping happily and humming louder, adding a couple of words to the tune. He had to admit that it was peaceful and even made him (the ice king) feel warm and fuzzy.
"Have you ever thought about becoming a singer?" he said, glancing over at her more frequently.
"Yep." She sang, happily. He froze, what did the girl mean. "Well, I'm here." She pointed to the ramen shop in front of her. "I-chi-ra-ku." She sang loudly. "Thank you again!"
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke." She boy grumbled.
"Okay Sasuke-kun! I'm Naru!" she sang even louder as she jumped into the shop.
Sasuke sighed as he turned and began to walk away.
"Naru?" he asked himself, the name sounded familiar.
###
"The Uzumaki Naru?" Itachi screamed at Sasuke.
"Who's Uzumaki Naru?" Sasuke asked his brother.
"Uzumaki Naruto? She's the lead singer of the most popular garage band in the world!" he screamed back.
"I've never heard of her." Sasuke crossed his arms, "What band is she in?"
"Raging Monsters!" Itachi yelled at his oblivious brother. "Sasuke! More than half the work would give their life to meet UZUMAKI NARU!" he was getting agitated.
"Raging Monsters?" Sasuke mumbled, "Sounds familiar."
Itachi let out a big sigh before snatching Sasuke's iPod off of him. He pointed furiously at the screen and Sasuke's eyes widened. "What?" he gasped, recognising the name of the band he was currently listening to, Sasuke was very picky about his music, so if he was listening to someone, they had to be good.
"Sasuke! Naru did a lot of work with our father's branch in Kumo." Itachi said, as he began to calm down.
"The… Uzumaki… Naruto…" Sasuke flicked through his songs on his iPod, he only had 10 artists. But sure enough the one that contained most of his songs was, indeed, Raging Monsters.
"Yes. The Uzumaki Naruto." Itachi sighed, finally getting the point across to his little brother.
"Oh My god!" Naruto screamed into her phone. On the other end of the line were, Kiba, Neji, Gaara and Neji's cousin Hinata.
"What are you so excited about?" Neji growled, "Calm down."
"Yeah! Get a grip girl!" Kiba snapped into his mobile.
"I met this really hawtt guy today!" Naruto shrieked into the phone.
"R-r-really?" Hinata asked, curious.
"He has dark hair, and he's tall and he's kind of mysterious!" Naruto called through to her friends.
"Oh my god." Hinata mumbled, "I totally want to meet someone mysterious." She mumbled.
"Oi! Girls! We don't want to hear this!" Kiba shrieked into the phone, causing Hinata to whimper.
"Kiba you're such a bitch!" Naruto laughed into the receiver.
"Naruto?" Gaara mumbled into the phone. "When do you start school?"
"Tomorrow." Naruto sighed, "And I'll have no friends."
"Don't worry, it won't be that bad." Neji said, trying to cheer up the blonde.
"Yeah! And if they think they can get me to dye my hair back they've got another thing comin!" she cheered. Naruto's hair was naturally blonde, but she had dyed the tips a red and purple.
"Yeah! You go girl! Tell 'em whose boss!" Kiba cheered.
"Yeah!" Naruto called back. She could hear Gaara, Neji and Hinata giggling in the background.
"Okay guys, I have got to go. Need to prepare for the school." Naruto sighed as she hung up.
"I will rule this school!" she told herself before lying on her bed and falling asleep.
OMG! I am really liking this FanFic. It might actually be my favourite one ever!
I think it was because I always wanted to start a band but then left it too late and old bands don't interest me.
I just love making the characters live out fantasies, and not only the romantic ones!
Please review. I'd love to get some feedback. I will try to update this one every week…
If I miss a week though, I'll write two the next. I accept constructive criticism and ideas as well as normal reviews. XD
KitsuneNEH out! :D YAY!
