Chapter 2
_With Ami and The other upstairs in the music room_
When Ami opened the door to the music room Sasuke, Karen and Naruto were in awe. They literally had everything; drums, guitars, a Baby Grand, and a keyboard. There was even a mini recording studio in the corner next to the Baby Grand. It was high tech with a mini sound board connected to it. (Becca's dorm room set up in pitch perfect + some modifications) There was a project open in the studio. The boys ran over to check out the stuff when Ami screeched, "Don't touch that!"
Sasuke looked over at her and asked, "Is that your stuff?"
Ami scoffed in disgust which gave the boys the answer they were seeking then elaborated, "Ino gave it to my annoying sister for her last birthday."
"Is her birthday in March?" When Ami nodded Naruto turned to Sasuke and said, " That must have been all those boxes Ami got from our guy that she wouldn't let us touch or tell us what was in it." Then he turned back to Ami, "Have you heard any of the things she does with it."
"Of course not I try to avoid my talentless sister as much as possible. I mean just living with someone who can't contribute to the creativity in this family already hurts me. Anyways this is supposed to be about me not her. So about our performance I was thinking we write a song for me to sing and you can do whatever it is you do." She said all of this majorly snobby.
Just as they were getting to work Sasuke got a phone call. He answered, kept the conversation short and sweet then turned to his unusually quite girlfriend saying, "Ino and I need to go home would you like me to drop you off." She nodded and the two of them went down stairs. When they finally made it to the living room they saw Ino desperately trying to beat Sakura at a fight video game. "Sasuke chuckled and said, "come on on sis dad wants us home." They then left leaving Sakura alone.
_Time skip: 3 hours later_
Sakura was dorking out watching doctor who when Ami ran down stairs and out the door. Not before screaming something about needing a break and being back in thirty minutes. Sakura sighed at her sisters rudeness grabbed some Advil and water for the poor boy up stairs and went to see what she was frustrated about.
When she walked in she found Naruto playing the Baby grand, humming a song while he working on the melody of the song. She smiled and walked over to him trying to see what he was playing. Sitting the water and Advil out of the way on top of the Baby Grand she walked over to her equipment and set down. After what seemed like forever Naruto looked up. "What was that you were just playing?"
"It's the melody I've been working on for some time. I thought it would work because Ami is certain that she wants to sing a slow song accompanied by a piano. Not what I imagine when I came up with this but hey it works and keeps your crazy sister happy." He finished his mine speech with a knowing smile but that smile soon disappeared. "The only issue is that we have this great melody but word wise…Ami hasn't given me much to work with except being invincible. Write know I have little snip it's of verses but can't come up with a chorus."
"Why don't you let me help?" He nodded and passed me the lyric sheet. All that was on it was:
[Ami:]
You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
[Chorus:]
[Ami:]
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
[Chorus:]
[Ami:]
Stone-hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass
[Chorus:]
She looked at him and smiled. "This is really good and I think I can help with the chorus. Why don't we try:" She then wrote what she had in mind down.
[Chorus:]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
"For the main chorus and then close the song with this"
[Chorus:]
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium"
Naruto smiled and then began to play. It was surreal listening to him sing the song. His voice melded perfectly with the words that Sakura knew were meant for Ami. When he was done she went to speak but didn't get the chance do to her sister running in squealing, "It's perfect we can keep it that slow spend we talked about and we'll nail it" And with that she pushed pasted me and their rehearsals began.
A week has passed since then and over that time, Sakura had spent a lot of her time giving Naruto Advil during their breaks and just getting to know that lovable idiot. Ino, Sasuke and Karin haven't come around but one other time since the first day but she understood. It was hard to listen to her sister complain about every little thing. Today's practice was moved to later this evening because Ami go do her psycho beauty rituals.
So that's means Sakura finally have a chance to go and play with my equipment. She ran upstairs and began to work. Pulling on her beats then grabbing the recorder she walked over to the piano. Sitting down she took a deep breath and began to play Für Elise. Once Sakura was done with the excerpt she wanted to use she went to the studio and plugged the recorder into the computer and entered the world of composition.
_To Ino and Naruto_
Ino showed up at Naruto's house and grabbed him. He began to struggle which was only making Ino mad and also made her not want to take him with her. She sighed and looked at Naruto, "we are going to the house early I really want you to get a chance to see I Sakura that only I know." At that Naruto quite struggling and got into Ino's car.
A few minute later they pulled up into the drive way; as Ino opened the door they heard the beginning of Für Elise. Ino chuckled at sound and began to walk to the music room. When she and Naruto reached the location the music had just finished. They looked inside and found Sakura beginning to set up her equipment. Ino made a motion for him to be quite and began to walk toward the piano. They watched her fiddle with the music for a few minute and then Sakura took off her head phones and sighed.
_Sakura_
Sakura turned around after taking her headphones off and was shocked to see Naruto and Ino observing me. As soon as she regained her composure she attempted to whirl around; trying to save and close out of her work. Before Sakura even had a chance Ino grabbed the back of her chair and slid it back next to Naruto. She then ran to my stuff and said, "Listen to this and then try to come up with a reason as to why she attends regular school."
