Chapter 3: More College Girls and Who Are You?!
Gaara and Naruto got were now playing their instruments to Paramore since they were finished with Rise Against. Naruto got up and paused the CD.
"Can we take a short break?" He said to his guitar playing friend. "My hands are swore."
"Okay," Said Gaara. "You take a break and I'll keep playing."
"How do you play so much?" Naruto put his bass back in its case. "I mean, I'm in a band and you can still out play me."
"I have thick calluses." Gaara played the CD. "Now excuse me. This is the solo." He played the solo of Misery Business, until the lower E string on his guitar broke and snapped on his left hand. "FUCK!!!!!!!" He screamed in pain.
"I see your calluses in only on your finger tips." The blond boy joked.
"Shut up and get some fucking bandages." Gaara screamed.
"Okay!" Naruto stood up. "I'll go ask Temari where she keeps them."
Naruto ran out of the living room and saw Temari with Ino and three other girls. One girl had Pink hair and green eyes and wore a red t-shirt and blue Capri pants, The second girl had pale lavender eyes and short black hair and wore a white jacket and a pair of faded jeans, He recognized her, and the third girl had brown eyes and brown hair in two buns, and wore a pink tub top and blue shorts. He turned to Temari. "Sorry to bug you Temari, but I'm sure you heard Gaara. We need the bandages and anti-bacterial cream."
"They're in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom." Temari replied pointing towards the bathroom.
Naruto walked closer to the girls and turned to the pink haired girl. "What's up?" He smirked at his failed attempt to flirt.
"NARUTO!!!!!!!!" Came Gaara's voice from the living room.
"Oh, sorry Gaara." Naruto said turning away from the pink haired girl. He walked by the pale eyed girl. "Hi, Hinata." He said to her running to the bathroom.
"Hi, Naruto." She said shyly to the boy. He ran into the bathroom and Hinata noticed the girls and Temari staring at her. "What?"
"You know him!?" Ino asked surprisingly.
"Yeah," She replied to her blond friend. "He's in a band with Kiba, my boyfriend."
"He's in Mutt?!" The pink haired girl asked.
"He's the bassist." Hinata asked. "He is weird but he's a good guy. You want me to introduce you, Sakura?"
"What?!" The pink hair girls named Sakura yelled. "No thanks, he seems a little too much for me."
"Come on Sakura." Joked Ino. "I saw you looking at his butt."
"I was not!!!!" Sakura said defensively. Naruto suddenly ran through the kitchen with a box of bandages and a tube anti-bacterial cream. "… Okay maybe I was. Only because he has a nice body and a cute face."
"Right." Said the brown eyed girl sarcastically.
"Your one to talk Tenten." Temari said suddenly surprising everyone in the kitchen. "Do you still have that little crush on Hinata's cousin?"
The girl named Tenten blushed instantly. "So… Neji's hot and is a great drummer."
"We know he's also in Mutt, as the drummer." Hinata said. "It's embarrassing for me because that band has Neji and Kiba, and Neji can get very protective."

Back in the living room… Gaara was treating his wound as Naruto fantasized about the pink haired girl he just saw.
"…And she has the nicest eyes and…" Naruto kept saying.
"Alright Naruto, I get it. She's hot." Gaara said finishing with his bleeding hand. "Did you forget that they can hear us?"
"Oh, crap!!!!" He blushed with embarrassment. "I guess I wasn't thinking."
"How am I not surprised?" Gaara said to his friend looking for his guitar strings. He suddenly stopped. "Dammit, I bet Temari took those too."
"Why's she taking your stuff?" Naruto asked locking up the case to his bass.
"She said I have to do things to earn some of my stuff." Gaara sighed in frustration. "I'll ask her about it later."
"Oh, and by the way. Kiba's girlfriend is here, too." Naruto said grabbing the last drink from his box.
"You serious? He has a girlfriend?" Gaara said. "He always seemed like a guy that would fuck his guitar if he could. Never thought he'd think of something else."
"Yeah, but Kiba is really good at guitar." Naruto smiled sipping his drink. "And his Gibson SG 61 Reissue is really nice too."
"That's the only guitar he plays." Gaara replied. "And he plays like for an hour, ten times a day. Now he plays like Alex Lifeson when Rush first came out."
"Yeah, and he does a good job in the punk band we're both in." Naruto smiled happily.
"You mean Mutt?" Gaara stood up. "You guys are good, but Lee is not that much of a vocalist. You guys should've picked someone else for that."
Temari walked into the living room with a bag of cheeseburgers from a fast food place and handed them the bag. "The Pizza order was cancelled because they found rats in the dough mixer. So, I had my boyfriend pick up something else. Enjoy." She shut the door behind her.
"Her boyfriend?" Gaara asked. "I've got to meet this poor bastard." Gaara walked towards the door.
"Gaara!" Naruto yelled standing up. "She told you to stay out of the kitchen."
But, Naruto's words failed as Gaara walked into the kitchen anyways. He saw all the girls and a man with his dark hair in a ponytail wearing a business suit.
"You must be Gaara." The man said. "Temari and Kankuro told me a lot about you."
"Weird," Gaara replied. "Temari never told me about you."
"Ah well, my names Shikamaru." He put his hand out for Gaara to shake it.
Gaara didn't shake his hand. "So, my sister and that fucker Kankuro told you about me huh?"
"Gaara!!!" Temari yelled in shock about the way he mentioned their brother.
Shikamaru turned to Temari. "It's okay Temari." He then turned to Gaara. "I guess you don't like Kankuro."
"Oh, what gave you that idea?" Gaara said with sarcasms. "Yes I hate that son of a bitch." He turned to the girls. "Excuse my French." He turned to Temari. "By the way sis, what do I have to do to get my spare guitar strings?"
"Stop using fowl language." She responded instantly. "If you don't swear for two weeks, I'll give them to you. I keep tape recorders in every room so you don't cheat."
"You've got to be kidding me." Gaara sighed in frustration. "Ah well, I'll try." He turned back to Shikamaru. "Nice meeting you."
"Same to you." Shikamaru replied.
Gaara walked towards the door. He suddenly turned around. "By the way. Which girl's dating Kiba?" Hinata raised her hand. "Don't worry he won't try anything. I'm sure the farthest you two will go is kissing while he holds his guitar."
"I know." Hinata said shyly. "But, it's okay. I'm sure he'll be with me more now that he's in a band with my cousin."
"Excuse me for saying this but… He's a band whore." Gaara said surprising everyone in the room. "He is my friend, but he's been in like fifty-seven bands, most of them weren't even rock."
"Yeah, your right." Hinata agreed. "But I don't really like the way you put it."
"Sorry about that," Gaara went to the door. "He was even in the glam band I was in. We left at the same time." He opened the door. "Nice meeting you Hinata." He walked back into the living room.
The girls just exchanged glances.
"He's hot." Said Tenten. "I would let him play with me any night of the week."
"Tenten?!" Temari was shocked. "He may have problems, but he is surprisingly still a virgin."
"Really." Ino was surprised. "He seemed to know how to seduce girls to sleep with them."
"No," Temari replied. "He just has his way with looks, but he never has gone out on a date before. He didn't even go to his high school prom. He spent that night getting drunk with his friends."
Hinata was the only one unaffected by Gaara's looks. "He was the reason Kiba's glam band broke up. Well, him and Sasuke, Sasuke took something too far and he lost his temper. Kiba told me only that much."
"Sasuke, my soon to be ex-boyfriend is gay." Ino said. "Sasuke grabbed his butt and he lost his temper, broke his guitar and walked off stage. And yet I always wondered why he didn't pay much attention to me."
"So you'll break it to him tomorrow?" Sakura asked her friend.
"Oh, yeah." Ino smiled while looking towards the door.

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long. I did that whole Tenten part just for fun; I'm not making her a whore in this story. Look forward to seeing Kiba and Sasuke in the next chapter.
