"Sorry I'm late," 'Kyuubi' apologized. He went and sat with Team Gai. "So what did I miss?"
"Well, Christy and Shikamaru sang karaoke and that's pretty much it." Tenten replied.
"It was a very youthful performance!!" Gai exclaimed.
"Ok then…" he tried to picture Shikamaru being 'youthful'. It didn't work.
"I wonder who's going to sing next," Sakura thought out loud.
"I think that answers your question." Christy pointed to the person who was making there way to the stage.
"Umm… I do-don't r-really ha-have much ex-experience s-si-singing, b-but I'm n-not that b-bad I d-don't r-re-really h-have a-any-anyone to d-dedicate th-this s-song to, b-but if I h-had to d-de-dedicate it to s-someone I gu-guess i-it w-would be f-for a fr-friend of m-mine." Hinata stuttered.
Wait… HINATA?!?!?! What the frig (c) ?!?!?!?
"MIRAA ga utsushidasu maboroshi o
Ki ni shi nagara itsu no ma ni ka sokudo ageteru no sa"
(The mirror that reveals my dreams
Raises my spirits unnoticed)
She sang in a slow voice.
"What possessed her to go up there?" asked Joe.
"I...don't...know..." Kiba responded slowly.
"Doko e itte mo ii to ii wareru to
Hanpa na ganmou ni wa hyoushiki mo zenbu haiiro da"
(When it's said "it's possible to go anywhere,"
My fragmented wishes are marked entirely in gray)
"Honoo no yurameki koyoi mo yume o egaku
Anata no fudesaki kawaite imasen ka"
(The swaying flames paint my dreams tonight
The tip of your brush isn't dried up?)
"Why do you think Hinata's singing this?" asked Lee.
"How should I know?" replied Neji.
"Well you are her cousin," Amanda pointed out.
"Aoi sora ga mieru nara aoi kasa hirogete
Ii janai ka KYANBASU wa kimi no mono
Shiroi hata wa akirameta toki ni dake kazasu no
Ima wa makka ni sasou tougyuushi no you ni"
(The blue sky can be seen if you open your blue umbrella
That isn't good? The canvas is yours
I'll abandon time as I hold a white flag overhead
In order for deep red to invite the matador now)
"This song is weird. I don't get it," said Chouji.
"That's beacuse you don't understand a girls heart!" Ino exclaimed. "It's pretty obvious why she chose this song."
"Is it?" he asked.
"KARAA mo iro aseru keikoutou no moto
Shirokuro no CHESUBOODO no ue de kimi ni deatta"
(Colors fade under a fluorescent lamp
On the black and white of the chessboard, we met by chance)
"Bokura wa hitotoki mayoi nagara yorisoutte
Are kara hitotsuki oboete imasu ka"
(The time we lost our way, we nestled close
Do you recall that month?)
Inner Sakura: Why can't I come up with a good song?!
"ORENJI iro no yuuhi o tonari de miteru dake de yokatta no ni na
Kuchi wa wazawai no moto
Kuroi fuku wa shisha ni inoru toki ni dake kiru no
Wazato makka ni nokoshita RUUJU no ato"
(Watching the orange colors of the setting sun with you was wonderful
Your mouth was an origin of catastrophe
Black clothes are only worn when praying for the deceased
The mark of rouge leaves behind deep red purposely)
"Mou jibun ni wa yume no nai e shika egakenai to iu nara
Nuritsubushite yo KYANBASU o nando demo
Shiroi hata wa akirameta toki ni dake kazasu no
Ima no watashi wa anata no shiranai iro"
(In myself, I see no dreams, like unpainted pictures
How many times must I fill this canvas?
I'll abandon time as I hold a white flag overhead
I am your unknown color now)
The song ended and Hinata quickly left the stage with a small "thanks." She sat down with her teammates and buried her face in her hands while Kiba and Kurenai complmented her. The loud cheering took quite a long time before it finally quieted down. Everyone seemed to highly enjoy Hinata's song. But of course, Neji wasn't going to let Hinata have all the attention!
"I have no one to dedicate this to." A rather haughting tune filled the room and everyone was silent as Neji opened his mouth to sing.
kanashii hodo hikaridashita shiroi yami kirisaku tsubasa ni nare
(Become as wings that outshine your sadness, cutting through the white darkness)
Christy busted out laughing and her attempts to stop were in vain.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked.
"This is the theme song to an anime." Andrew replied. Naruto stared at him, still failling to see the humor. "A popular anime mostly watched by girls."
tsumetai taiyou ni terasarete'ta
kainarasareta jiyuu ga atta
kagami ni utsutta kiseki no yoru
MASUKU o hazushihajimeta My Soul
(Illuminated by the cold sun
I had some tame freedom
On the miraculous night reflected in the mirror
My soul began to remove its mask)
By this point Naruto, Kiba who had overheard what Andrew said, and Christy were laughing very hard. Many people were galring at them as if trying to tell them to shut up. But they were laughing too hard to care.
(kuzurete yuku kabe no mukou wa
zetsubou mo kibou mo onaji kao suru
mitasarenai kokoro aru nara
tobitateru shuumatsu no PUROROOGU e)
(On the other side of the crumbling wall
Despair and hope wear the same face
If your heart is not satisfied
Head towards the ending prologue that flies away...)
"Gai-sensei?"
"Yes Tenten?"
"Would you order some sake? I need to convince myself this isn't happening."
yaiba no you na kaze fuku sekai
mamorubeki mono wa nan na no ka?
hitotsu hitotsu itami o shiru tabi
hontou no jibun e to chikadzuku
(In this world where the wind blows like a knife
What is it that I should protect?
In this journey where I know one pain after another
I draw closer to my true self)
"Shino, get more ice. I think Hinata will need it for that bruise." Kiba said as he looked at his teammate who had fallen out of her chair.
kieyuku Fake Light
umareyuku True Light
kono te ni...
(The fake light that is disappearing
The true light that is being born
In these hands...)
shiroku somaru yami tsukinukete
atarashii jidai o kizamitsudzukero
tokihanashita kokoro no mama ni
hateshinaku tsudzuite'ku byakuya o tobe
(Pierce through the white-dyed night
Go on creating a new era
With a heart that's been released
Fly through the endlessly continuing white night)
All the people who didn't know Neji personally were clapping very loudly. The only people clapping that knew Neji were Gai and Lee.
"Good job Neji!" Lee congradulated him as he sat down.
"Way to be youthful!" Gai said as he gave Neji a thumbs up.
Tenten, Greg and Amanda didn't say a word.
It's been a while hasn't it? Yeah well sorry, I kept putting this off. Good luck guessing these songs!
