Gwyn: I'm back, guys! And since I received some requests on continuing this fanfic, PBCR will have to wait (in a week's time ;D). That's right ^^ To repay the long wait, expect a lot of chapters starting from this week for, I hav a six week summer break. And since I'm grounded for eight months, I could at least make up the 10 week wait high school's burdened me with, to burden you guys with-and I'm just gonna stop rambling cause I'm not even making sense!
I need help with songs, please because there's not that much meaningful (if you get what I mean) songs in our generation. And that's not what Listen to My Lyrics is about now, is it? I have songs prepared but if you want to add a whole pile more, no one's stopping you =)
And plus, this one is really short compared to my others just because I wanted to edit the next one and so and so which I promise will arrive after PBCR.
So enough rambling for me, enjoy the really long wait and I hope you guys, enjoy! Disclaimer, Sasuke!
Sasuke: Why me…?
Gwyn: '-_- you sound so emo it's scary.
Sasuke: Someone in the manga has to be. Or else it'd just be filled with daisies and ditzes and ramen.
Gwyn: Uh…isn't that nice?
Sasuke: And, are you like, a moron? –sarcastic stare-
Gwyn: -flinch- That comment didn't faze me one bit but that stare did! –shiver- Who knew Uchiha's had an ounce of sarcasticness?!
Sasuke: -glare-Are you dissing my name?
Gwyn: Hardly. I was…just…saying Uchiha's are made of…stone. T_T
Sasuke: …?
Gwyn: Just do the god damn disclaimer!!! –death glare-
Sasuke: She doesn't own anything.
Gwyn: (gawsh, Naruto's even better) Except for this plot, my room, my body and my hot chocolate with marshmallows floating that i will so make after this. -smug look-
Sasuke: Do i look like i care?
Gwyn: -vein on forhead pops- that's IT. YOu-
BEEP.
Hinata: Please enjoy listen to my lyrics and we're very sorry for this M rated inconvenience (which will be cut). ^^ Kohana-chan wishes you the best and says
Gwyn: YOu BEEPING SON OF A-
Hinata: *cough* wishes that your patience (if possibloe since you're already patient) can stretch a bit longer, for this one is...short. Enjoy!

Last time on Listen to My Lyrics
Hinata and Naruto leaned against the wall. 'Not in the lobby, or the café, or the pools, or the arcade, or the bar…then there's only one more place!' Hinata and Naruto widened their eyes.
…the music rooms!

Kicking Ass (namely, his)

"Gomen, Naruto…Sakura might've, umm…overreacted a bit. She's…sensitive to those kinds of things. You know, stereotyping. We, erm…kinda all are." Hinata apologized as they entered the elevator together.
"A bit?" Naruto joked raising one of his eyebrows, his voice uneven as he tried to regain his breath. He cursed himself for his stupidness playing the scene over and over again in his head.
Flashback
"Look in the mirror Sakura! Guys could totally dig you! I mean-well you know what I mean! And Sasuke's a hot guy! Both of you make a great couple!"
"Because of appearance? What? Do you guys think I'm some weak and flirty type of girl that I'd stoop that low?"
"…"
"I'm surprised you guys tied with us at the top. You guys are all the same. Think you're all know-at-alls. Over -confident. Arrogant. Foolish. You think all it is to love are looks. If you ask me…you're all pathetic."
End of Flashback
Hinata avoided his gaze and ever-so-quietly sighed, telling herself she should've known that he was going to say that. What next? 'She owes me big time'? If only he knew…what those 3 words meant.
You're so annoying you know that?!
Stop crying, you weak girl!
Pathetic. You're so, damn, pathetic…
Closing her eyes in frustration she clenched her fists. How could she even think that maybe he was different?! That he would apologize to Sakura because… 'because I thought that he would understand.' She thought bitterly. Not long ago, she might've considered him as a friend. Not a rival or another blonde, blue-eyed hot surfer looking guy all the girls swooned over. No…she had thought of him as a-
"Hinata, I was being sarcastic." He chuckled nervously (worried that he might've given her the wrong expression) at her serious/confused face. The said girl jerked her head in his direction widening her pearl-colored eyes as he wiped his forehead in relief.
"You…you were…?"
"Duh, Hina-chan!" and looking down, he added with a soft, embarrassed voice, "I was out of line…I was…I was only trying to joke, you know?"
She looked away, her lips twitching as she tried to fight off the smile that she knew would appear at about any time. 'Temptation hurts…' she thought with a confused laugh.

"You seriously don't know how to read tabs?!" Sakura exclaimed with shock unconsciously gripping her guitar for 'comfort'. Sasuke turned his head away and 'tch'ed, jumping off from his sitting position on the stage and onto the floor, his feet planted. 'Annoying…' he scrutinized.
"Don't make me repeat it again, pinky." He drawled running a hand through his gravity-defying hair.
"eehhh…g-g-gomen…" she apologized through gritted teeth, as a vein popped out of her head. How dare he just call her pinky?! He had nerve, she'd admit. But…pinky?!
"You may be handsome and all but your attitude sure is getting on my freaking nerves." She blurted out.
"You think I'm handsome?"
Sakura turned pale blue then red as anime smoke started to oddly come out of her ears. "W-what does- Well yes I- why are you even asking?!"
One of Sasuke's delicate eyebrows rose in annoyance, "What I'm meant to say is 'at least you have good taste in men'. 'Cause your choice of hair color sure wasn't clever."
And with that, he walked away smirking, with one hand in his pocket and one to tend to his raven locks, from the fuming singer. He could just tell from the aura she was setting from behind him, that her hair bristled as her face turned a darker red with puffed out cheeks and an offended face.
'cute? Pfft. Annoying...'

"Hey Tenten, could you pass me the duck on my bedside lamp?" Ino yelled through the bathroom of their brand new hotel room (for one week anyway).
"Err…sure, Ino…but just why do you need a duck?" Tenten asked sweat dropping as she stared at the yellow and green duck in her hand weirdly.
"Well I can't let it miss out on bath time, now can I?!" Ino shrieked angrily splashing her bubbles in a childlike-tantrum manner. Tenten sweatdropped again as she chucked the odd looking duck to Ino. "Don't take too long, Ino. Might catch a cold." She warned. However, the hyper blonde had already dived down to the bottom of the tub looking for her beloved duck frantically through the bubbles.
Amazingly, Tenten watched the yellow bath toy bob up to the bubbly surface as her friend continued her search underwater. 'Smart duck' she thought sighing as she closed the door, deciding that she'd at least take a look around the lobby.
And right when she was about to open their main room door to finally have some peace,
"Oh, there you are ducky! I've been looking all over for you!"

"Looks like our drummer and lead singer ain't here yet. What a drag…" drawled our lovable, pine-apple haired guitarist. Neji set down his milo from another sip, turning his attention towards the clock. "You're right. It's already been 2 hours. Wonder what they've been doing."
Flashback
"Dobe, where you going?" Sasuke asked, a visible frown of irritation.
"Why the hell do you care?" Naruto retorted with a grin on his face, his hand wrapped around the door handle.
"Don't be soft. We had to cancel the concert in Australia 'cause you ended up in hospital remember?" Sasuke reminded him. And it was true. They had never seen an uglier side of Kakashi…
"I…don't remember." Naruto murmured confused, scratching the back of his hed.
Sasuke sighed and looked at Shikamaru for (well, only a little) trace of help. Said member looked at Neji, then rested his head resuming his nap.
The Hyuuga sighed and set down his drumsticks. "You snuck off to their 'McDonalds' 3 hours before the concert, had an argument with one of them aussie blokes for not having any of your so-called-ramen, then got kicked out, tried to get back in and you got beaten up by security. That's how you ended up hospital. Ring any bells?"
Naruto stayed silent for a minute, then jaw-dropped as his eyes widened like saucers. "W-w-w-w-what?! I so did not do that, Neji! Who the hell would let themselves get beaten up by security just for a food argument?!" he shrieked pointing to the long-haired guy accusingly.
All was silent, and then a chorus of,
"You."
-filled the room as Naruto growled and marched away slamming the door behind him. "It would be a miracle if he reaches our elevator since he's bound to get into trouble once he steps outside that door. Someone should follow him." suggested Neji as he twirled his sticks and started his normal routine-beat.
"It's too troublesome for me." Surely you know?
Sasuke glared at the 2 who stared at him with their eyes that showed the tiniest bit of desperateness. "I'm not gonna look after that moron." He simply replied.
And then, out of the blue,
CRASH!
"What the hell was that-"
SLAM!
"-for…" he finished lamely.
Sasuke groaned as he rubbed his aching butt from the 'throw-sasuke-out-of-the-room' attack. 'And they didn't even say please…' he scoffed in his mind twitching.
End of Flashback
"You think we should go?" Neji asked worriedly. About 50 possible events had just gone through his head as time allowed it. And all of them didn't end with a happily ever after at all.
Shikamaru rested his head back down and grunted, "Too troublesome. You go."
And with that, the Hyuuga glared at the lazy guitarist before he slammed the door shut.

"Wait just a minute Uchiha!" she screamed with fury holding up her fist, the other one clutching the guitar easily as she marched down towards the rude guy whom was now smirking.
"What do you want now, Pinky?" he mocked turning back. Sakura held back her fist and in a swift motion, brought it forward only to be met by air. Her eyes widened at the Uchiha who dodged it with a mere side move of his head. And her fist was not the only one that had an appointment with fresh air itself for Sakura had begun to fall too.
"Eeeehhhhh-" flailing her arms stupidly, she kept moving back and forth, making the uncaring Uchiha slightly dizzy. So without effort, he pushed her to one side and heard the 'oomphf', making him smirk once again. The pinkette was now on the floor rubbing her butt, forgetting Sasuke.
But, it was too good to be true. Glaring towards the Uchiha once again she pointed accusingly at him. "Why-Why you little-"
Raising an eyebrow at her, he scoffed as he crossed his arms defiantly. "If I'm small, you're smaller, isn't that right?" he retorted smartly. Watching the pinkette curse at him from the floor had been amusing, but he had other important things to take care of.
'Naruto…' he thought sweat dropping as a million dangerous scenarios popped into his mind. Turning his attention back to Sakura, he had only caught the last few words, 'dumbass' and 'ice cube'. "See ya."
Sakura stopped her rambling and looked at him startled, which instantly turned into anger. "Y-you're just leaving a lady behind after pushing her?! What kind of man are you?! You're probably not a man at all."
"Who says I wanna be?"
"-gasp- So you're admitting that you are gay! Aha! So, knew it!"
"-sigh- I'm not gay. I'm just not a gentle man."
"-frown- Man, that sounded wrong."
"-twitch- You're the one who's wrong."
"At least I have manners."
"-scoff- Keep dreaming, little girl."
"What? You saying I'm not a lady?!"
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
In an instant, Sakura tackled him outraged and thus, started a…catfight?

As Tenten slid out of the room relieved, she saw a band member of the opposite room make his way out as well. Only, he looked irritated. 'Typical.' She thought sighing which caught the attention of the long haired teen.
And as their eyes connected, the world had stopped for a slight fraction as though the only people in the world were each other.

Naruto's eyes bulged out of his sockets as his jaw dropped while, if even possible, Hinata had choked on her own breath. The sight was…appalling. Even if, the two people on the floor had froze rigid on the spot.
"Sasuke…were you just…feeling Sakura-chan's chest?!" Naruto asked with the same, shocked and disturbed expression. Sasuke twitched as he looked at his hands which, truth to be told, really was on her chest. Except…it had actually meant to pry her off him before she left a scratch on his oh-so precious porcelain face.
"A-a-ano…S-S-Sakura…w-w-were you also just…t-touching h-his l-locks and e-enjoying it?!" Hinata stammered as her face turned beet red. Turning red as well, she also looked at her hands on his raven hair that had meant to be pulled out from his scalp. 'This is so going the wrong way…' she thought deadpanned.
Without warning, Sasuke pushed her off him making her land on the floor once again with an 'oomphf'. "Dobe, let's go." Naruto glared at the onyx-eyed teen still shocked. "You don't just shove a girl off you, teme!" he growled and rushed over to help Sakura up.
Thanking the blonde for a moment, she turned back to the person that had oh-so-rudely pushed her off and stuck her tongue out childishly. "Let me tell you now, Sasuke Uchiha."
The said teen raised his eyebrow as Hinata walked past Naruto and rejoined her pink-haired band member.

Gwyn: I'd really like to thank all of my reviewers and subscribers (insert sigh). You guys are really patient and I don't think I've gotten any flames (yet). I'll try my best to write better and not be banned from the computer from my really really strict parents who have just nearly caught me inside the toilet using the computer instead of…you know. Stupid lock!
And if any NejiXTen fans are feeling like this is going to be boring because of what just happened (the whole cliche thing), i agree 50%. I'm only agreeing that it was cliche. But from my point of view, the 'i think i like him/her' thing will be far away from here. so Neji and Tenten were my only hope. And plus, the next chapter will make more sense. I promise.
Okay, thank you guys again! R&R.
I'll be back again soon. ;)
