Hello.
Here's chapter two.
It's longer than chapter one, so I'm content with it.
I do not own Naruto.
Happy reading.
Sakura sat on the piano bench watching as Jiro stood in the middle of the stage with his violin under his chin and bow on the strings. She turned her attention to Takahashi at the front of the stage, a stick in his hand. He tapped the stick against the stand in front of him. He raised his arms then brought them down.
Sakura started.
Her fingers glided across the keys swiftly as she began to slow her tempo, waiting for Jiro to play. She glanced towards Takahashi, watching as he began to move his arms in a quicker pace. She glanced at her music sheet watching the notes rise and fall. Slowly she began to stop playing as Jiro began to quiet.
Claps were heard from the dark shadows of the audience as Takahashi also clapped. He turned his back towards Sakura and Jiro. "That will be the beginning piece, and that is when the rest of you will join and we will play three other pieces. Jiro will play his own with Sakura performing the last one." He gestured towards Sakura and Jiro. "Now, will the rest of you come up so we could practice? The concert is tomorrow and we need all the practice we can get."
Sakura watched as the other four students come up to the stage and take a seat on the chairs while she stayed on the piano bench. "Okay, let us start off with the next piece—"
The sound of doors bursting open filled Sakura's ears. At the back of the auditorium two black outlines stood still. One—Sakura could instantly tell—was Tsunade. The other was someone she has never seen before. She watched as the two made their way down the aisle and stopped in front of the stage.
"Takahashi," Tsunade started, as he nodded in response, "this is Uchiha, Sasuke, and he will be joining your class."
Sakura stared at the Uchiha. He was tall and masculine. His hair was black with a blue tint—that spiked in the back—and onyx colored eyes. His bangs also hung on both sides of his face that roughly framed his cheeks.
Uchiha, Sasuke. Sakura thought for a while.
Sasuke was the popular student in high school, and all the girls obsessed over him. When she walked the halls, almost every girl would talk about how handsome he looked and how his cold attitude just made him more irresistible.
But what was Sasuke doing here?
"Haruno, Sakura," Tsunade said, making Sakura slightly jump.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade?"
"Come with me." Tsunade began to walk back towards the doors, and Sakura watched her walk away alone. "Now," she called. Sakura immediately stood up and walked towards the steps. She passed Sasuke and followed Tsunade out the doors.
Once the doors closed behind Sakura, Tsunade began to speak. "Sasuke will be in your class, and I trust only you out of all the students in this high school." Sakura nodded. "I want you to keep an eye on him and tell me how he is doing once a month. He will be going to every performance and will be sitting in the very front row. There are times I won't be there, so I want you to tell me if he shows up or not." Sakura nodded again. "Good. Do not tell anyone about this discussion."
Sakura walked back into the auditorium and sat back on the piano bench. "What did she want?" Jiro asked. Sakura looked around the stage to see all of them were watching her. She glanced at Sasuke—who was standing away from the stage—and saw his eyes were somewhere else.
"She asked about tomorrow and wished us luck." They repeated what Sakura said as they looked at each other.
"Okay, okay, settle down, everyone. Practice is over, so let us do wonderful tomorrow," Takahashi said, a smile forming on his lips.
Sakura stood up and bowed just as everyone did and walked off the stage. She made her way down the aisle giving one last glance at Sasuke as he talked to Takahashi.
I have to be the one to keep an eye on him...Uchiha, Sasuke. Sakura walked out the double doors.
