A/N: HAPPY EASTER! For those who celebrate, lol.
Sakura slipped into the club unnoticed and was glad since she spotted some familiar faces from her writing class at the table near the doorway. Like a ninja, she weaved through the crowd, went directly backstage and into her dressing room.
She changed into something different; something she would definitely never wear as Sakura. She wore a super micro, chiffon, purple skirt, with a black and creme, leopard-print bustier, and black, leather high-heeled, knee-high boots.
When she finally got her brown wig to stay in the half-pony tail she put it in, she put her contacts and make-up on. Finally, her shades were her extra protection against detection. She giggled to herself. That rhymed.
She headed out towards the stage as the band set up. The curtains were drawn so Hikari stuck her head out to check out The Table, she giggled at the nickname. She assumed it was three couples and a poor seventh-wheel. The free-wheeler subtlety blushed every time the blonde talked. Hikari smiled and chuckled evilly at the sight.
Jiraiya walked onto the stage to announce that her band was going to play and saw Hikari's head sticking out of the side of the curtains. He threw a random chopstick he whipped out of thin air at her head but luckily, she sensed it coming and quickly pulled her head back in. Sheesh, she got the message. No need to try and decapitate her with an eating utensil.
Jiraiya announced her band and the audience silenced since Miko Hikari usually performed on Saturdays and Sundays, to start and end the week.
But since Jiraiya knew that today was Sakura'a first day of college and since she came back alive and in one piece (though it was nothing much, just three classes), he decided to celebrate it. Yeah, he would make her play at her own celebration.
The red curtains parted to reveal Hikari and her band, the three Sand Siblings. Hikari silently laughed to herself, that sounded like the Three Stooges. If Gaara ever heard her think that, she was sure that he was going to leave her.
Wiping the silly grin off her face, Hikari stepped up to the mike stand and withdrew the mike. She signaled her band to start.
The crowd started cheering and bobbing their heads to the beat of the song.
Sasuke and Naruto broke from their glaring contest to watch the girl onstage perform with her band.
Tenten was the one to break the silence and said, "For some reason, her face looks familiar. Like, not like Miko Hikari, but like someone else. Her voice, too"
"Yeah, I thought she looked like that one girl from Writing. She kinda sounds like her, too. Don't you think, Ino-chan?"
"You think so Hinata? I'm not sure, well, I guess we can ask her if she knows Miko Hikari on Wednesday. Maybe they're sisters? I mean, they look alike when Hikari closes her eyes. And they also look the same size," Ino said while rubbing her chin, trying to remember the measurements of her new classmate. She was always good at sizing up the competition. When she finally remembered them, she thought about it and it angered her that the girl's numbers were better than hers.
"What?! You mean you know her numbers? You pervert!" Naruto shouted as he pointed an interrogating finger at Ino.
"How can I not? I have to know everyone's to know that mine will always be better than theirs," Ino said haughtily like it was perfectly normal and not stalkerish. Everyone looked to Sasuke, wondering how he put up with all this; he just shrugged, he also obviously doesn't know how or why either. "Besides, they are like perfect. I'll tell you them, but not the exact numbers 'cause I know you're all perverts," Ino said matter-of-factly.
While the guys shot her a menacing glare, Ino just shrugged it off and looked for a pen and paper. When she found some, she quickly did some math on it and her eyes widened at the results.
"Wow, they're better than I thought. She's definitely an hourglass—13-13 actually."
Ino blinked innocently as they all stared at her like she had grown a second head. "What?"
The girls knew what she meant but the guys were still in the dark. Giving an exasperated sigh, she explained it like it was common knowledge, "Numerically, an hour-glass figure has at least 12 inches between the bust and waist measurements, and at least 12 inches between the waist and hips measurements."
"And she's 13-13?" Tenten asked just to make sure she heard right.
"Yup, that lucky bitch."
"Ugh, she's perfect! Didn't she say she got in with a music scholarship? And with top grades, too?!" Tenten sighed. "Man, I envy her. Killer body, killer looks, killer brain, AND killer music skills. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be an assassin!"
She leaned in and snuggled against Neji. Ino and Hinata did the same thing but with Naruto and Sasuke, but the guys were still busy watching Hikari perform.
Hikari finally finished and their eyes followed her delectable form walk over to the bar and as she started talking to the dark-haired bartender.
Neji was deep in thought thinking about the lyrics of the song she just finished up. They sound familiar. Where have I heard them before? Or did I read them? Ah, they were in Sakura's black notebook. I guess sleeping next to her proved to be very interesting. Hmmmmmm, the mystery is starting to unfold.
Hikari walked backstage to change in her dressing room.
She changed and looked at her watch which said 9:38. It was a short gig.
So then, since she didn't have any homework 'cause it was still the first day of class, she thought about getting some hours in as a waitress, her original job at the bar.
She found Jiraiya and talked to him about working as a waitress for the rest of the night. He approved and she headed back to her dressing room to change into her waitress attire.
After she changed, she remembered that she saw The Table was still ocupado, so she decided to wear her brown wig in a high ponytail but kept her jade green eyes the way they were.
Since her name tag said "Sakura", she decided to leave it behind. She clocked in and walked out to the club to get working.
A/N: Fancy seeing you down here, lol. For the changes I made, I took out a chapter that really didn't fit with the changes that I made, so this was the new chapter 3. What did you guys think? Please drop a review and let me knoooooow!
Thank you for reading!
