Chapter 7: Forming a Band

- - -

Alex was sitting in his seat in math class. The class was completing a test but Alex's thoughts were drifted off to something else.

-"Who the heck is Daichi?" He whispered. He wanted to ask Sakura but he wanted to wait until it was the right moment. When class was over Alex was pulled aside from the teacher.

-"Alex, is there some reason you didn't finish your test?" Kakashi asked. Alex shrugged.

-"I just…Kakashi-sensei, I have a question." Alex said.

-"Ok, shoot." Kakashi said.

-"Do you know anyone by the name of Daichi Uchiha?" Alex asked. Kakashi pondered on that for a moment.

-"I've heard of that name somewhere, but I just don't remember. Would you like me to do some research on him?" Kakashi asked. Alex nodded.

-"That'd be great. Thanks!" Alex said. He was about to dash out of the classroom but he then grunted. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

-"Is there something wrong with your back?" He asked.

-"No. I…fell yesterday and you know." Alex grunted. Kakashi looked down the back of Alex and saw a few bruises.

-"Alex…are you ok? Is there something you need to tell me?"

-"No. I have to go now!" Alex said running out of the class. When he saw that Kakashi wasn't following him. Alex pulled up his sleeve to check out the cuts and bruises on it.

Flashback

-"I'm home." Alex said sullenly as he sauntered into his house. The house was eerie and it was pretty much dark. The floorboards creaked as Alex walked. He set his book bag down on the floor and walked into the kitchen. His mother sat in a seat with her head down. There were a few alcohol bottles on the table along with some cigarettes.

-"Hey mom, I got us some Chinese food for dinner." Alex said as he put the food on the table. His mother groaned and pushed the food away resulting it to scatter all over the floor.

-"Get that crap away from me!" She growled. Alex nodded and crouched down to sweep it up but his mom kicked him in the stomach.

-"Didn't I tell you that I didn't want to see you in the house until I went to sleep? Of course, but you never listen. You're a devil because it's your fault that your own father died!" She yelled before taking out the belt and started whipping him.

-"I'm sorry! I forgot!" Alex cried.

-"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! You were a mistake to be born!" She yelled. Alex's baby sister started crying from her crib.

-"Dad…" Alex whispered.

End Flashback

-"She just wasn't feeling ok." Alex said before walking off to his next class.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"I swear, health class is starting to creep me out." Hinata said as she and her friends were walking into the Academy.

-"Ugh, I had tons of homework from biology. It took me almost all night to complete it." Alicia said.

-"Why? Too busy looking into Joaquin's eyes?" Millie asked. Alicia and Joaquin blushed.

-"I was busy with work." Sakura said.

-"Hey, did you get another job too?" Marshall asked.

-"Yeah, I got a job at this restaurant called the 'Pamento Garden'." Sakura said.

-"Isn't that the fancy place?" Tenten asked.

-"I heard only rich people can eat there because of the prices." Joaquin said.

-"Really? Then that means Hinata can afford it!" Alicia exclaimed.

-"I guess I could but those types of places don't suit me." Hinata said. They all nodded and started walking off to their lockers.

-"Guys look!" Sakura exclaimed pointing to some poster. Everyone gathered around to see what she was looking at.

-"Battle of the Bands? Win 1000 if you win the contest. All you need to do is make a band and win the competition." Nick said.

-"We just had a talent show and now there's a battle of the bands? But this is too cool!" Joaquin exclaimed.

-"Stupid. These types of contests are just plain useless." Danny said walking off.

-"You know…if you won 1000, then you could buy all the apples you want." Millie said. Danny stopped abruptly but then continues walking.

-"I'm not falling for that." Danny said in strained voice.

-"Hard to believe he's Kakashi-sensei's son." Tenten said. They all nodded. Naruto, Shikamaru, Gaara, Neji, Matsuri, and Ino sweat dropped. Just then, Sasuke and his other group of friends walked by. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Sakura.

-"You thinking about joining?" He asked pointing to the poster. Sakura smirked.

-"What's it to you?" She demanded.

-"There's going to be a lot of competition so I'd watch out if I were you." Sasuke said.

-"Is that so? Well Uchiha, we'll see who'll be crying all the way to our mothers." Sakura said. Sasuke shrugged and walked off.

-"Later, mommy blossom." He muttered. Sakura heard and glared deeply at him. It took both Nick and Naruto to hold onto Sakura.

-"It seems that Sasuke has decided to join the competition." Hinata said. She handed Sakura a list of names for the participants. Sakura saw Sasuke's name and gripped the paper.

-"This is war Uchiha." She spat.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"What should we name this band?" Nick asked.

-"First of all, who's in it?" Sakura asked.

-"Well raise hands if you want to be in it." Millie said. Millie, Hinata, Tenten, Nick, Alex, Joaquin, Alicia, and Marshall raised their hands.

-"This might be a problem." Sakura said.

-"I don't want to play in the band but Matsuri and I want to create the wardrobe!" Ino exclaimed.

-"How about I help compose the music?" Nick asked. Sakura nodded.

-"I got it! Joaquin and I can help with choreography!" Alicia said.

-"Perfect! So Alex can play the guitar, Marshall is the drummer, Millie the keyboardist, and Tenten the guitarist." Sakura said.

-"Can I help with managing the band? I love keeping things in order." Hinata said.

-"That'd be great!" Millie said.

-"Can I be the bodyguard?" Danny asked.

-"Sure." Nick said.

-"We need another member to make up a whole band." Sakura said.

-"But who else should we ask?" Millie asked. No one had a clue.

-"Perhaps I can help." A girl said walking in.

-"Who are you?" Tenten asked.

-"My name is Kira Kouyama and I want to join your band." Sakura observed the girl. She was definitely a punk girl judging by her style of clothing. She had black hair with red highlights she had three earrings in each ear. She wore a black shirt with skinny jeans and fishnet fingerless gloves. Her nails were painted black.

-"Are you any good?" Millie asked. Kira picked up an electric guitar and began playing. All their jaws fell in awe.

-"You're in!" Sakura exclaimed. Kira smiled.

-"Are you new? I've never seen you before in the school." Alex asked.

-"I just transferred and I overheard that you guys needed another member for a band." Kira said.

-"That's right. Oh, this is Marshall, Millie, Ino, Matsuri, Alex, Nick, Tenten, Hinata, Danny, Joaquin, Alicia, Naruto, Shikamaru, Gaara, Neji, and I'm Sakura." Sakura said. Kira nodded and sat down.

-"What's the name of the band?" She asked.

-"We haven't though of one yet." Marshall said.

-"I've got an idea! How about 'Shippuuden'?" Naruto asked jumping up and down.

-"Shippuuden? How'd you come up with that?" Shikamaru asked.

-"I don't know. It just came up in my head. But Sakura-chan, can Gaara, Shikamaru, Neji, and I be you guys' bodyguards next to Danny?" Naruto asked.

-"Why do we need bodyguards?" Sakura asked.

-"Well seeing that the Uchiha will be having a band too, it's possible that his fan girls might get a little ad." Neji said.

-"Oh. Well that explains everything." Sakura said.

-"So where do we start?" Kira asked. Sakura smirked.

-"I'll show you."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"Mommy, my tummy hurts." Nathan said.

-"I'll get you some milk as soon as I finish changing Syaoran." Sakura said. Sakura put the shirt over Syaoran's head and then put him in the playpen. Sakura then fixed Nathan warm milk. She sighed and rubbed her temples. She felt tired and alone. She felt like talking to someone but all her friends were busy today. Alex was going to come over soon to baby-sit Nathan and Syaoran. Nathan gulped down his milk and continued watching television. Sakura rubbed her eyes feeling a headache coming on. She lied down on the couch and decided to take a quick nap. She closed her eyes…

-"No! Please stop!" She cried in agony. The man wouldn't get off her. Instead, he put her hands above her head and tried to strip her of her clothing.

-"Don't worry Sakura, this is won't hurt for long." He said in his seductive voice. Sakura shook her head violently and tried kicking him away. Screaming wasn't working either. Nobody would hear her anyways.

-"Let me go! There's no way I'll sleep with you!" Sakura screamed. The man slapped her.

-"Watch your lip. I'm going to do this whether you want it or not." He sneered. He began taking off his own clothing until he was completely naked. Sakura closed her eyes with tears streaming down her face.

-"Please…just let me go…Daichi." She looked up to meet those Onyx eyes…the eyes of an Uchiha…

-"No!" Sakura screamed. She sat straight up form the couch with pearls of sweat on her forehead. Nathan was right next to her. She heard Syaoran crying form his crib.

-"Are you ok, mommy?" Nathan asked worried. Sakura's chest heaved up and down as she panted for air. She nodded and held Nathan close to her. Nathan wiped away the tears and hugged her close.

-"It's ok mommy, so please don't cry." Nathan said. Sakura smiled and nodded.

-"I'm fine, I was only having a nightmare." She said. Nathan kept on hugging her until the doorbell rang and Sakura answered. Alex was there but Sakura stared at his black eye and a cut on his cheek.

-"Oh my god Alex! What the hell happened to you?" Sakura asked. Alex forced a smile.

-"I fell and the doorknob hit my eye. So how are the kids?" Alex asked.

-"Don't play stupid. Tell me the truth." Sakura said blocking the doorway.

-"I told you, it was nothing. Please believe me." Sakura looked at him straight into his eyes.

-"We're not done yet. We'll talk when the kids aren't here." Sakura said as she let Alex through. She grabbed her bags and pecked both Syaoran and Nathan on their cheeks. She kissed Alex on the lips and then went to the door.

-"I'll be home after dinnertime." Sakura took a quick glance at Alex and then left. Alex sighed and rubbed his temples.

-"I can't tell her…"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sakura drove to the restaurant in her car. Her mind was on both Alex and the dream she had. No doubt, that nightmare was a memory.

-"Daichi…" She hissed his name. She parked into the parking lot of the 'Pamento Garden'. Sakura got out of her car and went inside. She changed into her work clothes. She was the waitress the restaurant. Sakura took a notepad and pen out as she walked near the kitchen. Millie, Nick, Kira, and Joaquin working too.

-"Hey Sakura!" Nick exclaimed. Sakura smiled and walked towards them.

-"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late." Sakura said.

-"No problem." Kira said.

-"Sakura-chan! Guess who's here." Millie said.

-"Who?" Sakura asked.

-"Karin." Millie said with venom in her voice.

-"Who's Karin?" Sakura asked.

-"One the most popular, cocky, evil and what not girl of the school." Nick said. Sakura shuddered.

-"But what does that have to do with me?" Sakura asked.

-"Apparently, she hates you for some reason." Joaquin said.

-"But I never did anything to her!" Sakura said in defense.

-"Either way she has something against you." Millie said. Sakura sighed.

-"It seems a lot of people have something against me."

-"She's working here as a waitress too. So be careful." Nick said. Before Sakura could nod she already could feel a deep glared from somewhere behind her.

-"I think she found you." Kira said. Sakura shuddered and just tried walking away from the glare. Sakura paced around the place asking people for their orders. But in the back of her mind she was worrying about this 'Karin' girl.

-"What does she have to do with me? I never once met her." Sakura mumbled. She unconsciously sauntered over to another table.

-"Hi my name is Sakura and I'll…be your…waitress…" Sakura trailed off when she gazed at the people.

-"Sakura-chan! I'd never think you'd work here!" Sayuri exclaimed. Sakura laughed nervously. Sasuke sat there with his eyes closed. Sakura could tell they were here on a date since Sayuri and Sasuke were both dressed up so fancy.

-"So can I take your order?" Sakura said holding up the notepad.

-"We need some more time." Sasuke said opening his eyes. Sakura took an intake of breath as she looked into Sasuke's eyes.

-"Those eyes…they're just like his…an Uchiha." She whispered. Sayuri and Sasuke had a questioned look.

-"What are you talking about?" he asked. Sakura shook her head and forced a smile.

-"Nothing. I'll be back soon when you're ready." Sakura walked away shaking her head. She went near her friends taking a drink of water.

-"Something wrong?" Nick asked noting the way Sakura's facial expression was.

-"Nothing. Just a little dizzy." Sakura said.

-"You just go lie down and Millie can handle the other table.' Nick said. Sakura nodded and went the other way.

-"Is she ok?' Millie asked.

-"Not sure. But you have that table near the plants." Nick said. Millie nodded and strolled to the table. She immediately frowned when she saw that it was Sasuke and his date.

-"Oh great. I have the liar and then pampered princess." She muttered. She stood in front of the table.

-"Hi I'm Millie, may I take your order now?" Millie said.

-"What happened to Sakura-chan? I though she was our waitress." Sayuri said.

-"She wasn't feeling too well so while I take over this table she'll be resting." Millie answered.

-"Pathetic." Sasuke smirked. Millie glared at him and kicked Sasuke in the shin.

-"Ow! What the hell was that for?" He demanded.

-"What's pathetic is you, Uchiha!" Millie spat. Nick was watching the whole thing was amazed at how Millie changed her personality from bubbly to very violent. Sasuke rubbed his shin and looked the other way. Sayuri just sat there feeling a bit worried. Someone then came up to Millie and whipped her around.

-"Apologize to Sasuke you weasel!" The girl said. Millie pushed the girl away.

-"Make me Karin!" She argued. Karin pushed her back.

-"Karin…please stop." Sayuri said. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

-"Just because you're the teacher's daughter it doesn't mean you can do everything you want!" Karin yelled as she pulled Millie's hair.

-"At least I'm not a slut!" Millie shrieked as she pulled her hair too. Sayuri was worried. Sasuke looked around for help.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"That would be all Sakura-chan." Naruto said as he dug into his food. Hinata thanked Sakura.

-"Would you like anything to drink?" Sakura asked.

-"No thanks. I think we have everything." Hinata said.

-"Sakura-chan look! I'm Picasso!" Naruto exclaimed as he put the eggs around his face making them look like eyes. Sakura giggled. She turned around and froze. She saw Millie and some girl fighting.

-"Oh no." Sakura groaned.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"Let go of me!" Millie shrieked. Customers stared at them. Karin wouldn't let go of Millie's hair. So Millie used her nails to scratch Karin's cheek. Karin cried out in pain and then growled at Millie.

-"Karin…please stop." Sayuri pleaded.

-"You're going to pay Hatake!" Karin snarled. She raised her fist in the air. Millie closed her eyes waiting for the impact but it never came.

-"What the! Let me go!" Karin ordered. Millie, Sasuke, and Sayuri were surprised to see Sakura. She was holding onto Karin's wrist with her one hand. But with the other Sakura was rubbing her temple. She had her eyes closed but with a frown.

-"Sakura-chan…" Millie gasped.

-"Sakura…" Sasuke whispered.

-"Karin…you're fired." Sakura growled. Karin glared at Sakura and tried yanking her wrist free.

-"You're not the boss of me!" She yelled. Sakura tightened her grip of Karin's wrist and narrowed her eyes at her.

-"Listen…I don't feel very well. So I suggest you close your whiny mouth and leave this place immediately." Sakura growled.

-"Maybe I don't want to!"

-"Shut up!" Sakura yelled. Karin gulped but she still glared at her. Sasuke was astonished at how Sakura was.

-"You have no right to harass your fellow workers much less disrupt our customer's dinner. So you better leave now or else." Sakura said.

-"Freak! I don't have to listen to you!" Karin yelled. Sakura's apple green eyes enlarged. She instantaneously knew that voice when Karin called her a freak. Sakura glared murderously at Karin tightened her grasp on Karin's that made Karin wince and yelp.

-"It was you! You were the one who sent me those warning notes! You were the one who nearly killed me with that television cart! Well I'll tell you one thing, you are mistaken to think I'll ever be scared of you. Now go!" Sakura released Karin's wrist and Karin then scurried away.

-"Sakura-chan, are you ok?" Sayuri asked. Sakura turned to Millie.

-"I spoke with manager. I'm going home early." Sakura said and then left.

-"She seems…a bit upset." Sasuke said.

-"Yeah, well she hasn't been feeling very well." Millie said.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"I'm home." Sakura softly spoke as she entered the house. The house was quiet and Sakura saw that Nathan and Syaoran were sleeping in the cradle.

-"Where's Alex?" Sakura asked herself. She saw a note on the table and read it.

Sakura,

Sorry I left the kids alone but I needed to go home. I'll explain tomorrow but I'm truly sorry. Please don't call me or look for me because I'll be busy.

Love,

Alex.

Sakura stared at the note and sighed.

-"Oh well. I guess I'll just go sleep now." Sakura was about to go to her room but she saw something that didn't belong to her on the coffee table. She saw that it was a wallet.

-"Alex must've left this. I better give this to him." Sakura rushed out of her apartment and ran to Alex's house. Using her car would take to much time. Sakura looked at the address on Alex's ID and found the house. It was in the middle of some woods and it was simple house. But it looked like it wasn't being taken care of properly.

-"Alex lives here?" Sakura asked herself rubbing her arms to warm herself from the nightly chill. She entered the house and walked around. The floorboards creaked and there was bunches broken glass and trash on the floor. There was really dirty and there was barely any light. Sakura paced around hoping to find Alex somewhere. She heard glass break and a child crying. Sakura ran upstairs almost falling because the steps broke. She sprinted towards the source of the sound. She saw room with light and a shadow whipping another shadow on the floor. She peeked from the corner and her eyes widened with shock. A woman in her mid-30 was beating Alex with a belt.

-"Where the hell were you? I needed you home 15 minutes ago and you weren't home! Where's my beer? You good-for-nothing brat! I hate you!" The woman shrieked.

-"I'm sorry mom! I was busy!" Alex cried. 'Mom? This is Alex's mom?' Sakura thought. She saw that there was a baby crying on the bed.

-"With what? Taking care of that girlfriend of yours? What, did you pay her to be your girlfriend?" The woman asked not seizing her beatings. She kicked him and threw a book at him.

-"No! She likes me and I was baby-sitting her child!" Alex argued. His mother smirked and picked him up by his hair.

-"She has a child, eh? Well then she must be a slut. A teenage single mother! Hah! Girls like those don't belong in places like this! They're trash so they belong in trash!" Sakura was too scared to say anything so she ran away before she could see anything else. She dashed out of the house with tears running down her face.

-"Alex gets beat? But how?" Sakura asked as she ran all the way home. She entered her apartment and shut the door. Nathan and Syaoran didn't wake up. Her heart was beating fast and she panting real hard.

-"Why? Why does she beat him?" Sakura paced around trying to think of some answers. It didn't make sense.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-"Ok, so what song should we do?" Tenten asked.

-"Hold on, I'm almost done with the song." Nick said as he wrote things down. Kira sat there drinking her soda. Alex and Marshall were working on their instruments. Millie sat there chatting away with Joaquin and Alicia. Sakura sat there with a solemn face. She just stared down at the ground recalling yesterday's past events. 'He gets beaten by his own mother. And right in front of his baby sister. Why wouldn't he ever tell me?'

-"Sakura? Sakura!" Nick yelled. Sakura was startled but then looked up.

-"What?" She asked.

-"Um…I was just asking you what you though of the song I just wrote." Nick said. Sakura looked at the song and nodded.

-"It could work. Now all we need to see how it works with our instruments." Sakura said. They all nodded. Marshall, Alex, Tenten, Millie, and Kira went to their places. Sakura went up to the microphone. They looked at the music sheet and started playing the notes. Sakura liked the sound of it and started to sing.

-"What do you think?" Nick asked.

-"That was fantastic!" Sakura exclaimed. They nodded in agreement. Hinata got off the phone and grinned at her friends.

-"I just got off the phone. You guys are going to Battle of the Bands!" Hinata said. They all cheered.

-"That's awesome!" Kira exclaimed.

-"Battle of the bands, here we come!" Nick cheered.

Please Read and Review

Here's a preview of the next chapter: School Camping Trip

-"I can't believe I'm stuck hiking with the idiot and the ex." Sasuke muttered.

-"Hello? I'm still here! It's not my fault that sensei though we should be together." Sakura said.

-"Guys, are you this trail is the one we're supposed to go on?" Naruto asked.

-"Of course it is!" Sasuke said.

-"Hey, a cave." Sakura said. The three went over to the cave.

-"I wonder of it echoes. Hello? Is anyone in there?" Naruto yelled. His voice echoed through the cave but then was overpowered by the sound of a deep growl.

-"You idiot! You woke up a bear!" Sasuke yelled as he, Sakura, and Naruto started running with a bear chasing after them.
