Chapter 3- Before the Worst

"Sakura...? Sakura! Where did you go?"

Sakura tore her eyes away from the band, and their gorgeous front man, and looked down the hall. Ino was waiting for her, to give the rest of the grand tour, she guessed. As she was walking away, the door where Zenakou was playing opened, and Sakura turned her head to see who was exiting the building.

"Sakura... I saw you watching us... Do you want to come play with us?"

Sakura turned to the familer voice and saw Sasuke standing there, his guitar strap with guitar attached still around his shoulders.

"S-sure" Sakura squeaked, blushing that Sasuke actually wanted her to come jam with them "Let me... Just grab my guitar" She ran back to the instrument store room, and yanked her acoustic/electric guitar from its case (A/N: For those who are not aware, a acoustic/electric guitar is a guitar which is essentially an acoustic guitar, but has plugs in the side for an amp, meaning it can become electric)

When she re-entered the area, Sasuke and the band where waiting for her. She nodded shyly to them all, and noticed a beautiful girl dressed in dancing gear sitting at the wall. Sakura guessed this was the earlier mentioned Tenten, due to the dancing gear and the athletic, yet graceful and beautiful dancers' body.

"Okay Sakura, join in when you got the beat and rhythm, 'kay?" Sasuke motioned to Naruto who began to lightly tap at the symbol on his drum kit, allowing Shikamaru to catch on with his keyboard. Neji began plucking away at his bass guitar, and finally, Sasuke joined in with guitar and vocals.

It's been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day you walked
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
So explain to me, how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
It was Dublin city on a Friday night
You were vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night

Sakura smiled. She got the hang of the beat, and began plucking along. Sasuke smiled and gave her a swift thumbs up. She joined in the vocals, having picked up the words of the chorus:

Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It's time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Lets try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

Sasuke smiled at her, as her voice rang out past his, and past Neji's, his backup vocalist. When the song ended, Sakura and Sasuke held the end chord a little longer, smiling at each other.

"Whewwwww! That was AWESOME! You're a great musician, Sakura!" Naruto shouted from his drum kit, the others backing up his words.

"I know- Lets play another" Shikamaru offered, gearing up his fingers for the piano again. Sasuke smiled- He knew what song the others had in mind.

He began strumming on his guitar, and Sakura laughed in complete recognition of the song, and joined in on the vocals:

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled
Was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Joey got married
Shoulda known we'd never get far

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you yeah

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69

Sakura laughed when the song ended- Her parents used to listen to it all the time back home- So it was comforting to hear that song.

Just when Sakura was about to thank Sasuke and the band for allowing her to play with them- A shrill voice pierced through her happiness.

"SASUKE? WHO IS THIS?"

Sakura turned to see a tall, skinny girl with flaming red hair. She was dressed like a skank and stared at Sasuke with a look that could only be described as dagger eyes.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and said "Karin, this is Sakura, she was just jamming with us. Sakura, this is Karin- The bands female backup vocalist"

Sakura stared at the girl, suddenly feeling the competition and jealousy burning up inside of her.

Just then, Ino burst through the door and sighed with annoyance at Sakura. "Jeez, New Meat, we really have to get the grand... What the hell is this?" She said- after seeing Sakura with her guitar strapped to her, and Karin and Sasuke glaring at each other with annoyance and hatred.

"Yeah... Lets get going, 'kay?" Ino grabbed Sakura's arm and dragged her out of the room. "Jeez, are you trying to get yourself killed? Karin's not one to mess with, got it?"

"I so don't get it, please explain, girl"

"Right. Let we tell you a bit about the Principles oh-so perfect daughter"

HURRAH! GOT IT DONE.

REVIEW. DO ME A FAVOUR.

LUFFLES YOU ALL~~
