Konoha Academy's Worst Nightmare Chapter 2: Spring Break Performance, a naruto fanfic

Konoha Academy's Worst Nightmare

Chapter 2: The Performance

It was finally the day, The Spring Break performance. After the show, it was officially spring break. As the members of Leaves were sitting back stage, preparing for the show, they were also thinking of how amazing it would be to be spending Spring Break together; something they didn't get to do last year.

The Sound Nins were the first to perform. Of course, since last time they replaced three members. It was rather amazing to see the change in them. It even made Gaara go to the stage and see them perform himself. He noticed the new drummer, basses, and lead guitarist.

The first one he noticed was the new guitarist, a girl with dark pink hair and wearing glasses. He heard her name was Karin. It was her guitar and amp choice that surprised him too, a black colored Fender Jim Root Signature Stratocaster played through a Peavey 3120. He acknowledged it fitted the genre they were playing and he could tell she was actually better than Zaku was.

The next one was the drummer, a red headed man who was also tall and muscular. He used the same drums as Dosu, so that didn't change. Jugo, was what he said his name when the school introduced him as the new drummer for The Sound Nins. Gaara heard he was a pretty calm guy, until someone made him mad. Then he would put someone through a wall.

The last one was the new bassist, a white haired young man who went by the name, Suigetsu. He was kind of creepy in appearance, but he seemed to be a rather cool minded person, kind of like Haku was. It made sense because they were from the same town. Gaara also noted that he played a white colored Kramer D-1 bass through a Genz-Benz amplifier.

The Sound Nins were the first to perform and it wasn't just Gaara who went out to see, but the rest of Leaves in the Sand and their friends.

"Here is a band that after so many changes, they still amaze the hell out of us." Tsunade said through a microphone behind the stage. "Here they are to prove they are still Heavy Metal, give it up for The Sound Nins!"

The students cheered as the darkened stage lit up and showed all the members of The Sound Nins on stage ready to play. As they started, it wasn't Sasuke who sang first, it was Karin.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Then Sasuke began singing.
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby

[Sasuke and Karin sang together]
Oops!... I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!... You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me

[Sasuke and Karin sang together]
Oops!... I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!... You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

[Kabuto and Sasuka spoke in finnish]

"Jätkät hei, mä lähen meneen ny ihan oikeesti"
"Hei Ankku hei, ennen ku lähet ni kato mitä mä toin sulle"
"Ei jumalauta, hyvännäkönen. Siis eiks tää oo siis..."
"On on, sixpack, kyllä"
"Eihän sun ois tarvinnu hyvä mies, sitä paitsi meill' on noita väkeviä"
"Nii nii, mut aamuks!"

Karin began to play a solo that amazed everyone on stage.
Oops!... I did it again
I've played with your heart, got lost in this game, oh baby, baby
Oops!... You think I'm in love, that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

The song ended with the band members laughing as the students clapped and cheered. Turning a Brittany Spears song into a metal song was something no one expected, especially from the Sound Nins.

"That song would suck if it wasn't for Karin." Sasuke said into his mic. "Now for our original song. This song is called, hard to see!"

The song began with the band playing an introduction, followed by Sasuke singing.

I'm growing so distant
nothing makes sense to me anymore
I'm learning to resist
becoming more than you ever were

Can't explain,
what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain,
why its so hard for me, so hard to see your side.

Projecting all my anger
I can't seem to get this through to you
The walls are closing in
I dare you to walk in my shoes

Can't explain,
what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain,
why its so hard for me, so hard to see your side.

Sasuke began to scream like he used to.

YOUR SIDE
I WON'T SEE YOUR SIDE

Karin then began playing another breathtaking solo. When the solo was over, Sasuke began to sing again.

Can't explain,
what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain,
why its so hard for me, so hard to see your side.

Sasuke let out another scream to finish the song.
I WON'T SEE YOUR SIDE
your side...

The crowd continued to cheer as the lights on the stage went off and the band walked off the stage.

Gaara and the others were all surprised by the change in the band since last year and it made them even more excited for Battle of the Bands in the fall.

"We'll need to work even harder." Naruto said turning around to get his bass and amp ready.

"Yes we will." Gaara said still amazed by the bands change. The Sound Nins music was actually enjoyable with that show.

As the stage went dark, everyone started cheering as Tsunade began to speak from back stage again.

"They've been called Konoha Academy's favorite band by many of the students and faculty on campus!" She said introducing the next performance. "Well, here they are, our Battle of the Bands champions… Leaves in the Sand!"

Everyone cheered as Shikamaru began playing drums. Following that, the other's began to play their instruments and Gaara began to sing.

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your ...

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm over my...

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

When the song ended, they could only hear the crowd cheering. They took a chance-replacing piano with guitar, but from what they could hear everyone liked it.

"So you guys liked that?" Gaara said into his microphone. The cheer from the audience was proof that they did like it. "This next song was written by our very own Inuzuka Kiba. This song is called, we're all liars!"

The crowd cheered as the band began playing. After the intro, Gaara began to sing.

Connections has never been stronger
We see the same things
I gave all my money to God expecting relief
And as they kicked me out
I swore

Somebody is a liar.
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned.
You know, you know, I put my trust in this.
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it.

I thought I was different, no, but I did the same things.
You were wrong and admitted it, saw you were just like me.
Where was the grace I had before?

Somebody is a liar.
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned.
You know, you know, I put my trust in this.
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it.

Kiba began playing a solo, and then Gaara began shouting as Kiba played the solo.
I ran and I ran and I ran for you, but I broke my word, but I broke my word.
I see and I see and I see it's true, that I broke my word, that I broke my word.

The solo ended the same time Gaara began to sing again.
Where was the grace I had before?

Somebody is a liar.
You shouldn't play with fire, you may get burned.
You know, you know, I put my trust in this.
But I know, I know, I've been misplacing it.

Gaara finished the song by shouting again.
I broke my word.

The crowd cheered as the band walked off the stage. They gave the show all the energy they had into the two songs and it really showed in the performance they gave.

As they began packing their things, Naruto noticed that people were still in their seats and the stage was still dark.

"Hey guys," Naruto said getting everyone's attention. "Was there supposed to be a third band performing? I thought Jounin broke up." Everyone did hear that the faculty band, Jounin, broke up at the end of the school year last year. They weren't sure what was going on.

"Beats me." Shikamaru said. "Some of the teachers did mention a surprise for the students this performance." He remembered over hearing some of the teachers talking about a surprise that no one would expect.

"You think this is over!" Tsunade said into a microphone back stage again getting everyone's attention. Gaara and the others quickly went towards the stage to see what was going on. "We have something very special for you all, a brand new band from our rocking school faculty!" A new band from the faculty, is that the surprise!

Without the band being introduce, all the students saw three of their teachers on stage, Kakashi; with a new Sozo C7 Custom guitar, Iruka; with a gold colored, five string Music-Man Reflex bass, and Gai behind his usual drum kit.

Without even an intro, they began playing their cover of a rather popular pop song.

After the introduction of the song, Iruka began to sing.

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

Kakashi went out of the original song and added a guitar solo.

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Gaara has never heard the crowd cheer like they did when that song ended. The new band was indeed a surprise for everyone.

"How is everyone doing this afternoon?" Iruka said into the mic getting everyone excited again. "We are White Wolf, the new band from the school faculty!" Gaara thought that was an interesting name for them, but it worked. "Now for our original! This song is called, Poem."

Kakashi started the introduction to the song, shortly followed by everyone else playing. Iruka began to sing. (AN: The cap words are screams, I'm just being lazy with this song.)

Overbearing panic attack entrenching my veins
in an hour I'll be ok
I pray this pain will go away permanently someday
I'VE seen more than...
I should have to...
I'VE seen this on my own

this song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live...
in case of fire,
BREAK the glass,
and move on into your own...

Your own…

reoccurring drowning effect entrenching my brain,
i hope you'll be ok someday,
so i can say that you moved on in the right way...
WE'VE seen this and
WE'VE breathed this and
WE'VE lived this on our own...

this song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live...
in case of fire,
BREAK the glass,
and move on into your own...

this song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live...
in case of fire,
BREAK the glass,
and move on into your own...

Your own…

BREAK...

Kakashi played a rhythm solo, something no one has ever heard him do before.

This song is a,
poem to myself,
it helps me to live...
in case of fire,
BREAK the glass,
and move on into your own...

Your own…

YOUR OWN!

Even the people backstage were clapping and shouting after that song ended. The faculty went from being a glam rock band to a hard rock band, and everyone loved it.

Gaara himself was glad the faculty didn't take place in Battle of the Band, because they would most likely win every time. Everything about them, from stage performance to music was so full of energy. It got all the students to start mosh pits and even do crowd surfing. No one else has done that since Gaara came to the school.

"I hope you all enjoyed the show." Iruka said into his mic before walking off stage. "Now, go home for Spring Break and enjoy yourselves!" As Iruka followed the rest of his band mates, all the students and faculty in the audience began leaving as well. That was the sure sign for Gaara that Spring Break has officially begun.

As Gaara walked out of the main building with his acoustic guitar in it's case, he noticed everyone else was waiting for him, by Hiashi limo of all places. Gaara even noticed that Kiba remembered his acoustic guitar as well. After all, they were going to the Hyuuga manor together to play some acoustic versions of some of their songs for him and Hanabi to enjoy.

"Are we all ready?" Gaara asked as he reached the limo.

"Oh, yeah!" All of his friends said at the same time. Even Hinata, Ino, and Sakura were there to spend Spring Break together.

Gaara was still concerned about the change in his memories, but he wasn't going to let it bother him. It was Spring Break, and he wasn't going to let anything or anyone ruin it for him.
