Los Angeles
"What the hell was taking you so long?" Sakura questioned when I walked into the van. I tucked Sasuke's card in my pocket, not wanting to distract her as I smiled up at her.
"Nothing really. Somebody stopped me, you know some crazed fans as usual," I answered smiling. I didn't want to tell them just yet that Sasuke had asked me to join his band. I wanted to at least make my decision first before I told them anything.
"Was he hot?" Kiba questioned smirking. Shino shot him a death glare behind his glasses as Kiba cringed a bit, wrapping an arm around his shoulders, kissing his cheek lovingly.
"You know I'm just kidding,"
"Like you know if it was a girl or a guy," I said to Kiba who merely shrugged, yawing.
"At least there isn't any class tomorrow," Neji said excitedly. We all nodded in agreement as Shikamaru yawned, swerving on the road a bit. We all turned towards Shikamaru who apologized under his breath.
We were just glad that we were near our apartment at that point and we weren't going to get into a car accident. Shikamaru parked the car as we all exited. Lee, Gaara, and Neji were gonna spend the night with us since it was too late to take them to their own houses.
We got upstairs and everyone fell asleep instantly as they made their way to their rooms. I went to mine but stayed up thinking constantly about what Sasuke had told me. I mean, it was the best deal I've heard in my life! Sasuke… SASUKE wanted me to join HIS band. Konoha Legend. That had to be something! But I couldn't just leave The Konoha Underdogs like that. I've been with them from the beginning and then to just leave them like that because some big-shot wants me for his band.
Taking me away from them would not only take away the lead vocals but the lead guitar as well. I mean Kiba could always take my spot with the vocals and Neji could always do lead guitar since Kiba WAS rhythm guitar anyway. But I had to at least talk to them about it. I honestly couldn't just leave them like that… damn. Sasuke just made everything ten times more difficult than it already was! I heard someone trying to get into my room as I lifted my head up from the pillow. I saw Sakura walk into the room as she sat down on my bed.
"Hey," I said to her as she looked at me and smiled weakly.
"Hey," she responded.
"Couldn't sleep?"
"Not really. I knew you weren't asleep yet so I hope its okay with you,"
"Yeah it's cool. Just been thinking,"
"About what?" Sakura questioned intrigued. I swallowed the lump that was forming in my throat as I met her gaze.
"Well tonight at the concert, you know how I was taking a long time right?"
"Yeah. You said you got stopped by a fan," she said to me, shifting her weight on the bed.
"Well that's not entirely true. I mean I was talking to a fan but it was more like somebody was asking me to join their band…"
"…What?!" Sakura hissed at me.
"But I think you would actually approve of this,"
"Why would I approve of this?!"
"Maybe because it was Sasuke," I answered her. She looked at me and then raised an eyebrow as she looked at me quite skeptical.
"Sasuke? Sasuke from Konoha Legend? Sex god Sasuke? The one that we see every time we go to a concert?!"
"Yeah that Sasuke,"
"AND HE WAS AT OUR GIG?!" Sakura nearly blew my eardrums out when she said that as I looked at her.
"Yeah. He was there,"
"AND I DIDN'T SEE HIM?!"
"Well he wasn't really trying to make himself be seen,"
"I still should've noticed him,"
"Well he didn't really want to be noticed. You know how those stars are,"
"And he wants you to join Konoha Legend?"
"Yeah, he said the lead guitarist is gonna be going away for family reasons,"
"So he asked you to be a part of the band?"
"Yeah,"
"I still want to know how I didn't see him at our freaking concert!"
"That's not the point! The point is that I want to know what you think about it,"
"You'd be leaving us huh?"
"I guess, but I mean I would still see you guys sometimes when the band isn't on tour,"
"God, that sucks,"
"What do you think?" I questioned her smiling goofily. She looked at me at that point and laughed as she saw my expression.
"I think you would really stupid if you turned them down,"
"THANK YOU!" I screamed excitedly bombarding her with kisses and hugs. Once she finally shoved me off laughing she made me listen to her.
"You still have to tell the band though,"
"God, that's gonna be a treat," I said as I looked at Sakura with a smile across my face that she understood fully what it was for.
"You want me to tell them don't you?"
"Please?" I responded. Sakura laughed, getting up from my bed and ruffling my hair in the process whilst walking over to my door. She looked back at me as I smiled at her.
"Get some sleep Naruto… you need it," she said, closing the door behind her as I laughed lying down in my bed. All my thoughts revolved around him as I drifted off to sleep for the first time not dreaming about anything.
-------------------------------
"NARUTO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?!"
I fell out of bed, upon hearing Kiba's loud and angry voice in the morning. I looked up at him and realized that there was pure anger and hatred in his eyes as he looked down at me.
"What the fuck is wrong with YOU!" I questioned him angrily
"What are you thinking joining another band?"
"I guess Sakura told you," I mumbled under my breath. Kiba glared at me angrily as he was getting ready to punch me, as he raised his fist over his head. But before anything happened Sakura appeared behind him, grabbing his fist before it collided with my fist.
Kiba looked behind him, looking at Sakura as she flipped him onto his back with no problem at all. During all of this, the entire house appeared at my doorway to see what was going on. Sakura put her hands on her hips as she looked at everyone in the doorway.
"I didn't tell you bumbling idiots so you could come and murder him! I told you because he was afraid that you would take it the wrong way… which is exactly how you idiots are taking it right now!" Sakura said to all of them. Kiba got up from the floor and brushed himself off, looking at me.
"Nani… why is it that they chose you out of everyone?" Shikamaru said to me.
"Honestly… I really don't know. They just did," I said to him. Shikamaru shrugged, walking out the room with Neji, Shino and Lee, leaving me alone with Kiba and Sakura. I looked them over as Kiba looked at me again.
"You really going through with this man?" Kiba said to me. I nodded to him, sighing at the same time.
"Yeah, I mean I talked it over with Sakura and what not. Plus we're gonna go see them tonight so I have to come up with an answer by now," I said to him.
"I just hope you don't forget all the 'little' people in your quest for fame,"
"Yeah and I hope you don't turn my band into shit," I said to him laughing. Kiba walked towards me, putting a hand on the back of my neck, as I did the same to him while we pressed our foreheads together. He let go of me and walked out the room then, leaving me with Sakura.
I flopped down on my bed as Sakura did the same, turning and looking at me from where she was. I looked at the ceiling, thinking about everything that had happened today. I mean I was gonna be part of Konoha Legend! I mean this is amazing. Stuff like this just doesn't happen to people like me! Rock bands just don't give offers out like that. This was a once in a lifetime shot that I had. I either took it seriously, or I didn't go at all.
"Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think I'm gonna change at all?" I questioned, looking at her. She looked back at me and smiled.
"I doubt that. And if you do it'll be good right?"
"Yeah… I'm just thinking about what Kiba said,"
"Don't let Kiba get to you, he has issues. We all know that," Sakura said to me.
"Yeah but not as many as you," I said laughing. Sakura shoved me army playfully as I continued to laugh.
"It's gonna be awesome. I know it,"
-------------------------------
"Sakura hurry up!" I said to her as she was almost finished applying her lipstick.
"All right, all right, I'm done, God, you're worse than everyone else in this house!" she said to me. I laughed as I took some of her eyeliner and put it on, making my eyes look bigger than what they really were.
"That is so emo," she said laughing.
"Well if I'm gonna be hanging out with Sasuke I need to look a little emo," I laughed. Sakura and I walked out the bathroom as I looked at everyone standing by the door almost as if guarding it.
"So we're off. Take one last look at your favorite kitsune guys," Sakura said dramatically. Kiba came forward and put out his hand to me. I put my hand out as well taking his as he pulled me in for a hug and smiled at me.
"Yeah you're not emotional at all," I said to him laughing.
"Goodbyes are too troublesome so consider me saying goodbye," Shikamaru said to me. I laughed as he said that and Shino just looked at me and I considered that as his goodbye.
"So you guys really aren't coming to the concert with us? I mean we got you guy's tickets just in case… and that's a lot of money!" Sakura cringed as she said that.
"He's gonna be gone, and he's gonna be performing with them pretty soon… why would we want to go to the concert?" Kiba said smirking. I smirked back at him
"So I'll be back, but this guy won't," Sakura said looking at me. I laughed as she said that. Everyone waved to me as I walked out the door with her and went to the van. It was so annoying when their sets were in a different town, because it just made us have to take all the equipment with us and what not which was totally unnecessary. The trip was longer than what we expected and Sakura got slightly annoyed at that fact.
"Well what do you expect? They can't do all of their performances in our town!" I said to her. She laughed at me as I found a parking and locked the van as we walked to the doors where there were men taking tickets. Sakura gave him ours as he pointed us into the orchestra section. We already knew where we were since we made sure to get the same seats all the time.
First row, right in the middle. Yeah it was a bit costly but it's the price you had to pay in order to see the band you were in love with perform. Sakura and I made our way to our seats as we waited patiently for them to come on.
"I can't believe this is gonna be my last time seeing a concert WITH you. Next time I come to one I'm going to be looking AT you," Sakura said dramatically to me. I laughed at this as she started to pretend cry. I gave her a hug as she did that and then fog started to form on the stage. Everyone started screaming as this happened, including me and Sakura.
The drums started playing the tempo as the bass came in accompanying the beat. Sakura and I started swaying to the beat as this happened and then Sasuke came on shirtless with black jeans and boots on his feet as he locked eyes with me and then started to sing.
I want a girl, girl that won't talk back
And a job, job that gives me slack
And a car, car that won't break down
In the heat of Los Angeles
Sasuke started moving around the stage, as the beat continued to play and he started to sing again.
I want to go, go without a map
Far away, away I won't get trapped
By the sound of town
The sun beats down
In the heat of Los Angeles
The guitar came in then, backing up the sound as Sasuke moved back to center stage and connected eyes with me again, winking this time.
One more holiday
I will not celebrate
I'm almost desperate
'Cause I'm down, I'm down I'm so beat down
The tempo of the song sped up as Sasuke started jumping up and down, shaking his head like a maniac and then started to sing again.
This city's killing me
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
In the heat of Los Angeles
The tempo stayed the same for a few seconds, until the guitar died down again only hearing the bass and the drums as Sasuke started to sing again.
I want a love, love that won't hit back
Want sex, sex without a catch
Want to face, to trust, to feel, to lust
In the heat of Los Angeles
The song went into a new part of the as the guitar would strum a chord every time he was going to repeat a word.
I want to fuck, fuck, fuck this up
Gonna feel, feel, feel you up
Had ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH'S, ENOUGH
In the heat of Los Angeles
This city's killing me
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
In the heat of Los Angeles!
What has become of me?
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me! (I want everything)
Come on! Come on!
It's alive and breathing
Come one! Come on!
Come alive today
Come on! Come on!
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down Los Angeles
The tempo died down again as Sasuke fell to his knees on stage while the band continued to play. He looked out at everyone and I could see that he was sweating.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles
I want a girl, girl that won't talk back
And a job, job that gives me slack
And a car, car that won't break down
In the heat of Los Angeles
The song got back into full swing as Sasuke jumped up again and started racing around stage going over to each member of the band and started singing to each member of the band directly in their ears.
Come on! Come on!
It's alive and breathing
Come on! Come on!
Come alive today
Come on! Come on!
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down
(This city's killing me) Come on! Come on!
It's a live and breathing
Come on! Come on!
Come alive today
(This city's killing me) Come on! Come on!
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (One more holiday)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (I will not celebrate)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (One more holiday)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (I will not celebrate)
Sasuke posed at the end of the song as everyone cheered loudly. He did that cocky grin of his that I love so much as he looked at me and Sakura. Sakura almost fainted as he started to sing another song while looking directly at us.
The only thing going through my head was how hot he looked without a shirt on and if he looked that hot below his pants. Konoha Legend probably sang about 9 more songs and their set was over. Sakura and I got out of where we were when the set ended and went backstage to try and go see Sasuke, but ended up getting stopped by the guard standing at the front of the gate.
"Hi um, Sasuke asked to see me after the performance today," I said to him as I tried looking over his shoulder.
"Oh really? Can I see some passes?" he questioned us.
"No seriously, Sasuke told me to come back here. He uh, needs me for his band!"
"Yeah, and I'm serious when I said that I need to seem some backstage passes," he said. I growled to myself as 2 other people came over and presented their passes and then he immediately opened the door to let them in. I tried to shove my way past him but he just picked me up easily and threw me on the floor.
"HEY! What are you doing?"
I looked up and saw Sasuke coming this way with the rest of Konoha Legend behind him. I smiled as he opened the door slightly to glare at the guard who was in front of the gate.
"This guy was trying to get through!"
"I asked to see him, you numbskull!" Sasuke said angrily as he helped me up from the floor while Sakura just gaped at how close she was to Sasuke.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know,"
"Whatever man. Come on," he said to Sakura and me. Sakura and I followed him behind the gate where there were a lot of people talking to each other. I looked over and I saw a guy who looked like Sasuke but maybe a few years older who was talking to a girl who was getting ready to faint because of the fact that he was even close to her.
Sasuke took us into the bus that said Konoha Legend in big letters with everyone smiling showing fangs in their mouths. When we walked inside I was amazed as I saw all the furnishings the bus had. The floor was covered in black carpeting that had the sharingan in the center.
On the walls there was red paint with pictures of the band and numerous people that they've met before like Orochimaru guitarist of The Sound Five, and The Legendary Sanin. Sakura gaped at all the pictures of them and everyone else as Sasuke sat down on a couch with the rest of his band looking at us. I realized that there was one person missing and that's when the older looking Sasuke stepped into the room.
You might find it a bit weird that these guys were my favorite band in the world but yet I only knew Sasuke's name. The older looking Sasuke took a next to Sasuke, putting an arm around his shoulders as he rested his head on the couch. Sasuke smirked at me as everyone turned to look at him.
"Well you being here, means that you've reached a conclusion I presume," he said to me.
"Yeah I uh… I decided to take you up on your offer," I said to him. Sakura grabbed my hand next to me, squeezing it lightly as I smiled at them.
"How do you even know he can play?" one of the members asked.
"I saw him at his own concert,"
"How do you know he even knows any of our songs?" the older Sasuke said.
"Actually I know all of your songs… I have all your CD's and I've been to every concert that I could manage to go to. I've seen every interview with you guys and I've even seen all the 'Making the video' for each song you have," I said to them in a quick breath. Everyone turned to look at me as Sakura continued to squeeze my hand.
One of the guys walked near me and reached of a guitar that was lying around and handed it to me. I looked at him letting go of Sakura's hand and putting it around me so I could look at the other guy. I held it correctly as he continued to look at me skeptically.
"Play the beginning chords to Pieces," he said to me as I looked at him. He nodded at me as I bit on my bottom lip and took my pic out of my pocket, gripping it with my fingers like I had practiced for so many years. I put my fingers in the correct places playing the first few chords while singing the words to myself. Everyone nodded at me as they looked at each other.
"Me Against the World," The older looking Sasuke said. I changed the key and started playing the beginning, bobbing my head to the beat.
"Emotionless," Sasuke said to me. I looked up and almost dropped my pic as he said that. I knew that emotionless was close to him because he always cried whenever he sang it. The older Sasuke looked at him, nudging his arm as Sasuke looked at me.
"Nar…Naruto,"
"Emotionless," Sasuke said again to me as I looked at him to make sure he was positive about this. He nodded as I started, and he started to sing.
Hey dad
I'm writing to you
Not to tell you
That I still hate you
Just to ask you
How you feel
And how we fell apart
How this fell apart
I changed the key as Sasuke shook his head and continued to look at me. I listened to the song in my head and remembered that this is when the drums came in.
Are you happy out there?
In this great white world
Do you think about your sons
Do you MISS your little girl?
When you lay your head down
How do you sleep at night?
Do you even wonder if we're all right?
But we're all right
We're all right
It's been a long, hard road without you by my side
WHY weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart
You broke your children for life
It's not okay, but we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those are just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years, learning how to survive
Now I'm writing just to let you
I'm still all right
I stopped there as Sasuke stopped singing and looked up at everyone as he smiled weakly at me. I smiled back at him as everyone looked at me.
"I like him," one of the members said.
"If he knows Emotionless than he HAS to know all of the songs. That song wasn't even released," another person said. The older Sasuke looked at me as I put my pic in between my teeth and looked at Sakura who was staring at the events that were unfolding in between us.
I took the guitar off of me and set it down on the other couch that was across from the band. Sasuke looked at everyone as each person went over to him and whispered something in his ear. He kept his eye on me as I went over to Sakura and grabbed her hand, putting my head on her shoulder as she pet my hair, while I bit on my thumb nail.
Finally the band stopped moving around and Sasuke stood up from the couch, with the much disapproval from the older Sasuke. He walked over to me and put his hand out to me. I took his hand and smiled as a smirk crossed his features.
"Welcome to Konoha Legend,"
