"Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, I would like to speak to you two before you leave," Kakashi said without looking up from his book, Icha Icha Paradise.
"Hai…"
"Sasuke, I understand that you have the same class as Sakura here, so since she's new I would like you to show her her classes."
"Hn."
"You may leave now."
The two teens walked quietly down the hall, headed toward their music class until…
Sakura slipped on a stray banana peel!
"Ahh!" Sakura screamed
"Oooff, get off me," a voice said from under Sakura.
"Oh, gomen," Sakura exclaimed as she saw that she was sitting on Sasuke.
"You really should watch where you're going," Sasuke muttered.
"Like you care," Sakura retorted.
"What if I do?" Sasuke replied with a smirk.
"Huh?" Sakura replied very much confused.
But before they could continue their conversation, they arrived at the door leading to the music room.
"You're late, youthful students," a guy wearing a weird green suit said.
Several people sweatdropped.
"Kakashi-sensei had to talk to us," Sasuke said.
"Kakashi, eh? Yep, he's always late," Gai exclaimed.
"Well, before you two came, I was just explaining about the upcoming festival.
"Well, as you all know, we have a festival every year in May and one pair gets to sing a song." Gai explained.
"So I have been given a list of pairs and together, the two of you will sing a song."
"Let's see, first is Neji and Tenten?"
"Then, Naruto and Hinata."
Hinata blushed crimson red while Naruto grinned.
"Shikamaru and Ino."
"What!? How can I be with that lazy bastard?"
"Troublesome woman."
"What did you say!?"
The whole class sweatdropped.
"Sakura and Sasuke."
"WHAT!?" almost every girl in the class cried.
"How could you place Sasuke with that, that slut!?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Sakura shouted, exploding with a dark aura.
Gai-sensei sweatdropped.
"Remember, I didn't put these pairs together, Tsunade-sama did."
"She certainly likes playing matchmaker," Gai thought to himself.
"Well, let's continue," and Gai said some more pairs.
"Let's have Sakura and Sasuke go first now," Gai said, "You have 5 minutes to agree on a song.
"Uhh, how about Eyes on Me?" Sakura asked.
"Sure, whatever," Sasuke said nonchalantly, "I'll play the piano while you sing.
"Ok…" Sakura said.
"We'll be singing(and playing) Eyes on Me," Sakura told Gai-sensei.
"Take a deep breath…" Sakura muttered to herself.
"Nervous?" Sasuke asked smirking.
Wow! He looks so cute like that, Sakura thought.
You got that right.
I thought I got rid of you a long time ago.
Nah, I was just on vacation since you didn't have any interesting affairs.
Sigh.
"Are you ready?" Sasuke said, snapping Sakura out of her conversation with her inner.
"Yeah," Sakura said fidgeting.
"5-6-7, 8," Sasuke muttered.
Whenever I sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever I said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
did you ever know
That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer.
"That was awesome," a female voice said.
"Tsunade-sama?" everyone asked.
"Oh, did I mention she would be listening to your songs?" Gai said.
"No matter, because I think we've already found our leading pair for the festival.
"Us?" Sakura asked unbelievably.
Sneak Preview of Chapter 3: Sasuke, is that really you?
"Sasuke," Sakura said unbelievably, "I didn't realize it was you."
"You're still so dense," Sasuke said.
"You can't believe how much I missed you!" Sakura said as she hugged Sasuke so hard he was choking.
A/N: So how'd you like it? I hope I got the lyrics right and this time I didn't forget to put a preview.
