Song one: Shout out by SHINee
Song two: Juliette by SHINee
"What the hell was that?!" Ino demanded as so tossed the door open, storming into the house as the girls trailed behind her.
Hinata followed her while Sakura, Megami, and Tenten solemly stepped in together.
"What happened with you guys? We were having fun! It's just barely past midnight, why the sudden leave?! And what's up with you and the guys?" she demanded to go as all three girls trudged into the living room and collapsed onto various seats.
Ino and Hinata stepped in and stood by the door, Ino with her hands on her hips.
"...Don't wanna talk about it..." Tenten said, her voice muffled in the white couch cushion. "Matter of fact...there's really nothing too talk about."
"The hell there is!"
"Girls, what happened back there? Obviously all three of you came from some sort of an issue. We need to know." Hinata said firmly.
The girls sat up and looked to each other, confusion going through the lot of them.
"What happened with you?" they said together.
Sakura sighed and sat up.
"When...uh...when I walked back to the living room after you guys were trying to get the star up...I sat with Gaara. We talked for a bit, you know, like the usual but...he...he kissed me...and I actually liked it."
Ino scoffed, "Hello! What's wrong with that?!"
"It felt right I mean..." Sakura mumbled, then groaned and held her hands in her face. "I just don't know..."
"Sasuke kissed me too..." Megami mumbled.
"Neji kissed me..." Tenten grumbled.
"Quick, call the police," Ino said sarcastically then rolled her eyes.
"Do I really have to remind you that he has a girlfriend?! This is the second time he's done something like this! I don't know what he's trying to pull!" she yelled angrily.
"I haven't kissed anyone like that since...since..." Megami bit.
"We know," Hinata said.
"Seems like you girls had a fun night. You're just not handling it the right way." Ino sighed, exhausted as she flopped onto the seat next to Tenten.
"You know this isn't going to go away. At some point you're going to have to confront them."
The girls glanced at each other. Each knowing the truth behind Ino's words.
~*A.H*~
Though winter remained, the sun shined brightly the next day, Sunday morning.
The girls sat in the living room together, eating their morning breakfast as they commonly did on Sundays.
Hinata and Megami sat on the couch, Sakura and Tenten in green and blue bean bags, while Ino sat in a small loves-eat by the couch.
Suddenly the phone rang, inturrupting their morning cartoons.
"Ino." they all said without looking away from the television.
"Lazy bitches," she growled as she stood up. They smiled at each other as she headed for the kitchen house phone, sighing as she picked it up.
"You've got Ino. You have five seconds to say something interesting or I'm hanging up," she cooed.
"Hey Sasuke," she said moments later.
Megami twisted her head around from the TV towards the kitchen.
"One sec," she said, holding the phones speaker as she turned to the living room.
"Hey Mega! Sasuke said he wants to talk to you, he said it's really important!" she yelled.
Quickly, she stood up and began running up the stairs.
"Where the hell are you going?!" Ino yelled.
"Tell him I'm in the shower!" she yelled back.
Ino groaned and put the phone back to her ear, "Sorry she's in the shower right now so—"
"I'm not an idiot. I know she's trying to avoid me," he said coldly.
Ino sighed, "Sorry, maybe you could try calling back later, she might be okay to talk then," she said.
"Whatever," he said as he hung up.
Just as she hung up the phone and began walking back again, the phone rang. She groaned and stormed the few steps back.
"Hello?" she said bitter-sweetly.
"what's up Neji?" she sighed. Now Tenten turned her head around slightly. "Well yeah she's—"
She looked over and saw Tenten rushing up the steps. "I'm in the shower!" she yelled.
Ino rolled her eyes, "sorry Neji she's in the shower, so you can—"
"I know she's trying to avoid me so you can drop it." he said into the phone.
She sighed, "damn you guys are good..."
"Whatever, tell her to call me when she's done being childish." he said then hung up.
"Damn, didn't these guys mothers ever teach them any manners?" she grumbled as she began walking back to the living room, just barely stepping in when the phone rang again.
"God dammit!" she yelled, rushing back and picking up the phone, "hell-o," she said bitter-sweetly.
"oh hi Gaara…" she sighed.
She rolled her eyes as she listened to Sakura squealing a bit as she rushed up the steps.
"Tell him-!"
"Yeah yeah shower I know!" she growled back. "Hey sorry she's in the—"
"She's avoiding me, isn't she?"
Ino frowned and leaned on the wall, scratching her hair a bit, "what gave it away?"
"It's fine. I'll call back later." he said dully, and without another word hung up the phone.
She fast walked to the living room before anyone else would call again, but before she made it in the phone went throughout the kitchen again.
"Ahhh!" she screamed, tightening her hair.
She rushed to the phone and picked it up fiercely.
"What?!"
"Oh…sorry Ino, is this a bad time?" Naruto asked shyly.
Ino took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Sorry Naruto, I didn't mean to yell. Let me guess, you want to talk to Hinata right?"
"how did you know?" he asked, confused.
She turned her head and smiled, seeing Hinata listening in from the living room.
"Lucky guess." she said.
"Do you mind if I do?"
"Not a problem." she turned to her side and held the phone out to Hinata, smiling. Hinata nodded thankfully as she took the phone from her hands and put it to her ear.
"Hi Naruto-kun." she smiled shyly.
"Funny, I thought you'd be in the shower." Naruto said chuckling.
She frowned, "why's that?"
"It's nothing. So, I was calling because I wanted to know if you wanted to uh...go out again, like another date?"
She clutched the phone and blushed, "I-I would love too!"
"Awesome! I'll pick you up at about eight. See you later Hinata-chan!"
"Bye..." she murmured, hanging up the phone then turned back to Ino who leaned on the counter.
"Well, at least you have some normality in your 'relationship'."
"Are they gone?" Tenten asked as she, Megami, and Sakura crept back down from the steps.
Ino rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, "Yeah yeah. I'm going to go take a shower. Make sure you let Shikamaru know if he calls." she winked.
~*A.H*~
The girls listened from the living room at the sound of heels clanking down the steps later in the night. Having spent the entire day at home cleaning and talking, the girls sat boredly in the living room.
Most at least.
Megami whistled as Hinata stepped into the living room in tight black skinny jeans with knee high dark blue leather stiletto boots. she dawned a low cut light blue ruffle top with a white leather jacket and a royal blue ruffle clutch in her left hand. Her hair sat in a stylish messy bun along with hot red lipstick.
"How do I look?" she asked hopefully.
"Fabulous," Ino cooed as she filed her nails. "Naruto's going to adore you!"
The girls giggled as Hinata looked down and rocked back and forth on her heels. Just then, the door bell rang.
"I got it!" Tenten called as she hopped up and jogged to the door. Moments later she returned with a beaming Naruto who stood in a black long sleeved shirt with an orange shirt over it, along with dark blue jeans.
"Hey girls!"
"Hi Naruto," the three said in unison.
"Hi Hinata, you sure look pretty!" he said sweetly.
"Thank you...Naruto-kun,"
"You girls should give the guys I call, I think they really need to talk to you," Naruto half-smiled, turned back to the girls.
"That's what I keep telling them," Ino sang without looking away from her nails.
The girls looked at each other as Naruto took her hand,
"See you later!" he called as Hinata nodded to them, leading them out.
As the door closed shut Tenten slumped back onto the couch.
"What should we do now?"
The girls sighed and slumped into their seats boredly.
Suddenly, Megami sat up and smiled wickedly.
"I've got an idea..."
~*A.H*~
"Alright, I see the enemy at seven o'clock."
"That's twelve o'clock you twat."
Megami frowned, "fine...I see the enemy at twelve o'clock. At the slightest movement we move in..." Megami sat to Sakura as the two hid behind the couch.
When they noticed a hand sneak out from behind the kitchen sides the girls shot up.
"Fire!" she yelled.
"Take this!" Tenten and Ino rolled as they rolled into the living room, firing their various colored paint gun as Sakura and Megami did.
"I've been hit! I can't go on! Tell my children..." Megami coughed dramatically. "I love them..."
"Get up stupid you're not dying." Sakura yelled as she cartwheeled back behind the couch.
"Way to ruin the moment..." Megami grumbled as she crawled back behind the couch.
Ino and Tenten crept back into the kitchen, all four breathing heavily for a matter of seconds.
Finally, all four jumped back out again.
"Attack!"
~*A.H*~
Hinata hummed a bit as both she and Naruto stepped out of his medium orange Lexus is250.
He followed her to the girls door, avoiding snow and shivering a bit in the winter cold.
Standing on the porch, Hinata smiled and turned around.
"Thank you again Naruto-kun, I had a great time. I really like spending time with you."
"Same here, Hinata." he smiled.
She looked down as they stood on the porch a bit awkwardly.
Finally, she let out a breath of cold air and lifted her head.
"Well, I'll be going inside the—"
Her words caught in her throat as lips met hers.
In the winter cold, they were warm and welcoming. Her cheeks steamed as she closed her eyes and leaned in further, clutching his jacket.
After some moments, they both pulled back and she looked down, her hands still clutching his jacket.
"I-I'm glad...I'm glad you did that..."
He let out a cold breath and laughed a bit as she lifted her head back up and smiled at him.
"I'll see you later Hinata-chan!" he beamed as he turned and stepped off the steps.
As coolly and casually as he tried to, he stumbled and tripped on the icy porch. He looked back at her sheepishly and scratched the back of his head as she giggled, the key in the door.
She watched him drive off as she opened the door and quickly stepped in to get out of the cold air.
she lightly touched her lips and burned red as she leaned on the door.
she stood for only a moment before she looked up to the house and gasped.
"Oh my—"
"What the hell are you talking about we totally won!"
"Are you kidding?! We whooped your ass blondie!" Megami and Ino shot back and forth as the girls stood in the living room over the paint covered house.
"Eh em."
The girls shot there heads to a Hinata who stood by the living room entrance, her arms crossed as she looked at her sternly.
"Hey Hina!" Ino called. "How was your—"
She sighed and said nothing as she motioned to the cleaning supplies next to her.
The girls blinked a couple times and looked around the house, them to themselves, smeared in paint.
"Oops...now how did that happen...?" Sakura mumbled.
~*A.H*~
The girls threw the cleaning supplies on the floor and collapsed on the couch after two hours of clearing the house of the paint gun mess. Hinata, though she had helped, sat down calmly with them and giggled.
"If I had known we would have this mess to clean up I wouldn't have played that damn game," Ino said bitterly.
"So Hina, how did your date go?" Sakura smiled.
Hinata squeaked a bit and shot her head down. The girls watched her in confusion.
"It was...very nice... and…and after he brought me home…he…kissed…me." she said, holding her cheeks.
The girls instantly sat up.
"No way!" Tenten gasped.
Hinata happily nodded, "I think we're going steady now!"
"Hinata my love, no one says going steady anymore!" Megami said matter-factly.
"Who cares! Our little Hina has a boyfriend!" Ino squealed. Suddenly her expression turned to a smirk as she faced the other three girls.
Tenten and Sakura raised a brow as Megami stared dumbly.
"So when are you guys gonna talk to them?" she asked, you can't avoid them forever.
"we were actually thinking about seeing them when the concert was over." Sakura explained.
"I just hope they don't come to us first." Tenten grumbled.
"Hey!" the girls voices spoke through the voice-mail.
"You've reached, Ino—!"
"Sakura—"
"H-Hinata—"
"Tenten—!"
"Megami BITCH!"
"You dumbass! Don't say stuff like that! Who knows who's calling!" Sakura yelled.
"What? Why shouldn't I! it could be the mafia!" Megami argued.
"Why would the fucking mafia be after you?" Tenten said.
"I know some things..."
"You're such an idiot I swear." Ino sighed.
"Girls, we're still recording." Hinata's voice came.
The line stood in silence for a few moments.
"Whatever let's just leave it like that." Tenten said, then finally the voice-mail beeped to allow messaging.
"Shouldn't expect any different from them." Shikamaru sighed as he ended the call, whereas the boys were in the living room by one of the house phones.
"Still no word from the girls?" Naruto asked as he stepped in after just stepping inside. Neji nodded irritably.
"They're being impossibly difficult."
"Why don't you just talk to them at the concert? Maybe they'll ease up by then. Plus you'll have an opportunity to get them alone through the commotion afterwards." he said happily as he turned to walk upstairs.
"Since when do you have good ideas?" Shikamaru raisied a brow as all four boys turned to him.
"Why?" he smirked.
"Because I kissed Hinata BITCHES!" he yelled, rushing upstairs, leaving the boys in shock and confusion.
~*A.H*~
The girls, among many, stood in the front row of the brightly lit glass stage. Surrounding them were thousands of fans that cheered in the darkness and chanted the name of their favorite band as well as waving posters and glow lights.
OMEGA.
The girls (who had never before been to an Omega concert) were excited and surprised to see just how famous the boys were, and it still was just a peek inside their world.
"When did they say the concert was starting?" Sakura asked, looking at her watch as the waited along with 300,000 other unruly fans.
"Eight p.m. It's 7:59 right now." Hinata said explained.
"So I guess it's any minute n—" Tenten was suddenly cut off as the lights cut of a select amount of the crowd screamed.
As a dim light opened on stage, smoke began to cover the stage. As it did a deep beat pounded like a heartbeat and slow, sensual music played, Fans waited in anticipation, the arena stalk silent.
Suddenly a large explosion came on the stage, and Naruto burst through the middle of the stage from underground in silver and black clothing, black eye liner and a bright smile.
The cheers grew louder, just as Shikamaru came up and shrugged lazily.
On the left side of the T, Gaara came up and held his head high to the audience.
Sasuke followed with a backflip, then finally Neji rose slowly from under the glass.
Screams engulfed the arena as the music began.
[Sasuke] A-yo….we're back
[Shikamaru] Uh uh, uh uh
[Sasuke/shikamaru] Let's shake it up
[All] Even if you can't hear me, I won't give up
What have I felt up to now, I won't give up

Saying it's a trend is pretty obvious deja vu
I'm addicted to your impressive outward appearance, oh

[Sasuke] It's really the end, while I felt moved
The moment I felt a huge shock
Where have you already gone to
My music has gone through
My pain, my huge torment

Even if you can never see me, I won't give up
No, I won't give up, cause I won't give up
[Sasuke] I lack an identity, I don't have any thoughts
You're mostly vague rebukes and irresponsible attitude
People that mindlessly treat themselves
To so many duplicates are a problem, why
[Gaara] Yeah, I slip like this again
I don't know anything, I'm dumbfounded
[naruto] I see you quietly stealing
[Man, what's wrong, man?
You think I wouldn't notice?
[All] Even if you can't hear me, I won't give up
What have I felt up to now, I won't give up
Even if you can't see me now, I won't give up
No, I won't give up, cause I won't give up
Even if I can't hear you, I won't give up
What have I felt up to now, I won't give up
Even if you can never see me, I won't give up
No, I won't give up, cause I won't give up
[Shikamaru] There's one reason why I do music ([Neji] One)
[Sasuke] i know the pain I've endured ([Naruto] You know)
[Gaara] I'm not entirely lit up by the spotlight ([Neji] You wouldn't know)
[Shikamaru] One click, finished
[Sasuke] Done
[Neji] Sorry, my unchanging passion is
The melody made by lyrics that endlessly shreds white paper
[Gaara] Music that you'll remember deep within your heart
That's the only thing you want, what's left is like (neji: My value)
[Naruto] I pull it off so easily, you don't know
The meaning of my tears, never, never, never (sasuke:nah!)
[All] Even if you can't hear me, I won't give up
What have I felt up to now, I won't give up
Even if you can't see me now, I won't give up

What have I felt up to now, I won't give up
Even if you can't see me now, I won't give up
No, I won't give up, cause I won't give up
Cheers exploded as a blast of smoke arose behind the boys. The girls finally began to understand why they were so popular. Their music was actually pretty good.
The girls cheered as the lights dimmed, "that was actually pretty good" Tenten shrugged. "For them."
The girls cheered nonetheless as the lights dimmed and the music continued.
For the next two and a half hours the concert went on and the girls, like many fans, danced and listened to Omega do what they did best.
When the boys completed their song 'Graze' the lights dimmed once again for a break. The girls talked among themselves as they waited with the rest of the fans but were suddenly interrupted as two men in a black suits and dark sunglasses stepped up to them through the crowd of cheering fans.
The girls looked up to the men with black bluetooths in confusion.
"Are you Tenten, Sakura, Megami, Hinata, and ino" the man reading off a clipboard said
"Who wants to know?" Megami challenged.
the men looked at each other and nodded agreement.
"It's them. Ladies you're coming with us."
"Huh?!" Sakura demanded.
"Hey get your hands off me! I know my rights!" Ino yelled as the girls were hauled off over the noise of the crowd.
"You'll be hearing from my lawyer!"
(^A.H^)
"Can someone tell us WHY we're doing this?!" Tenten snarled as they changed in the dressing room.
Sakura, Ino and Hinata put on black mid-thigh skirts, while Tenten and Megami slipped on black short shorts.
All girls slipped into white various ruffled shirts and black Mary Jane's.
the girls shrugged.
"How are we supposed to know?" Sakura sighed. "All Kabuto said was that it was crucial for us to wear this stuff and that it'll help."
"Help what?!" Tenten said. "They're not thinking of making us-"
She silenced as a sound girl peeked into their change room.
"Are you ladies ready?"
"Ready for what exactly?" Hinata asked politely.
"The bosses ordered that I keep quiet. Please follow me
They nodded and followed her, and when I ask could you please close your eyes."
The girls eyed her suspiciously but slowly nodded after a moment of hesitation.
She smiled as she stepped out and waited for the girls to follow her.
They looked around as the sound girl led them in their unfamiliar clothing. After a few moments of stalking through backstage they could finally hear the cheers
"I hear the crowd!" Ino said aloud. "It sounds like we're getting closer!"
"Stop!" the sound girl suddenly said moments later, the girls siezed in place as the sound of fans boomed louder.
"You may open your eyes now."
The girls did as told and gasped when they realized where they were.
All five stood on the dark stage where no one could see them, but they could see the fans. They looked down and saw that they stood on a flowery decorated balcony that touched the stage. in front of the balcony sat a small white table where five red roses were placed neatly.
Megami banged her head against the rail, "I hope they're not doing what I think they are!"
"This looks cool! I always end up being the star don't I?" Ino beamed.
"Oh please, Ino-pig." Sakura rolled her eyes.
Tenten sighed, "Let's just get this done."
Finally the stage lights came on and music started to play. As the lights came it revealed the boys who stood in a chnage of bright clothes, each with a mike in their hand.
(Read bold)
[Neji] The moonlight, as if it'll spill, is definitely dark
[Gaara] Including the almost exploding torchlight
[Shikamaru] I need to learn how to shine like she does
[Neji] If I look at her, I'll be blinded
[Naruto/Sasuke] Please give me a chance
When you look at me with those eyes
I want to hold you in my arms
[Neji] But to me, you're like a playful fox
[All] Juliette, I'll give you my soul
Juliette, please accept me
Juliette, sweetly, a little more sweeter
Whisper my serenade
[Sasuke] Sweet addiction (he walked up to Megami and handed her one of the roses, she nervously smiled and took it a he walked back to the boys.)
burning temptation
Even though your lips are bitter poison
I'm Romeo, your knight in shining armor
Trapped in a glass jar, love is a red light
[Gaara] You're already the center of the whole world, my focus
[Shika] You play me all day, and even if you push me, pull me, and I fall down
[Naruto] I follow your scent that embraces my body again
[Neji] I can't stop, so take all of my heart and my breath
[Naruto/Sasuke] Please open your heart
Your gestures toward me pass by again
[Neji] My trembling heart seems like it'll explode any moment
[All] Juliette, I'll give you my soul
Juliette, please accept me
Juliette, sweetly, a little more sweeter
Whisper my serenade
[Naruto] Even without any words, I already know everything (Naruto stepped up and gives Hinata a rose, when she blushes and mouths a thank you, he smiled and he walks back.)
[Gaara] Your eyes said they want me badly (Gaara walks up and gives Sakura a rose. she smiles sweetly as he walks back.)
[Shika] I can't escape this habit of chasing after you (Shikamaru walks up and lazily hands Ino a rose then walks back. she rolls her eyes, smiling.)
[Neji] You spread like an irresistible poison (Neji walks up and hands Tenten the final rose as well as kisses her hand. her eyes widen a bit as he smirks, backing up back to the boys.)
Yeah, baby Juliette!
[All] Juliette, I'll give you my soul
Juliette, please accept me
Juliette, sweetly, a little more sweeter
Whisper my serenade
[All] Juliette, I'll give you my soul
Juliette, please accept me
Juliette, sweetly, a little more sweeter
Whisper my serenade
([Shika] My love is passionate like the sun, only you, only you
[Sasuke] Even if I'm born again, only one person will shine brightly in my heart
[Neji] My heart shines brightly
[Naruto] My heart shines brightly
(The girls step down the balcony to help the boys finish off the dance.)
[All boys]: Da Da Da Da Da Da Da (X3) love's serenade
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da (X3) love's serenade!
The lights cut as all ten of them walked backstage to the dressing room.
"Don't you ever do something like that again!" Tenten yelled furiously, hitting Naruto on the head.
"Hey why am I the only one getting hit!" he whined, holding his head.
"Because we're pretty sure this was all your idea." Sakura sighed as she sat down, arms crossed.
Naruto pouted as the ten listened to the chanting outside.
"We'd better get back out there." Shikamaru said boredly, pointing back to the stage.
The boys nodded, excluding Neji. They began to make their way out but stopped and turned back when they realized they were a member short.
"Come on Hyuga, we have a show to do." Sasuke said.
" Oh, I'm not going," he stretched and sat back in a chair by the stage.
They all stared at him.
"what's that supposed to mean?! Come on this isn't funny we gotta go!" Naruto ordered.
"I'm not going…until Tenten agrees to talk to me." he said pointing over blankly.
"Say what?!"
The boys groaned and shot their heads to Tenten. She frantically shook her head, turning her head for support from the girls only to find them giving her the same looks.
She stared at until she finally groaned, annoyed. "Fine! Whatever!"
The boys nodded.
"Make it quick you guys! We'll go and ask Kabuto if he can put on one of those short films we made for the world tour!" Naruto explained as the boys ran out.
"We'll give you guys your space," Hinata gave a small smile as she followed the rest of the girls out.
As the door closed Tenten came to realize that she had been left alone in a room with Neji. She nervously rubbed her arm and avoided eye contact, but she could feel his eyes on her.
After moments of silence she sighed.
"look Neji, I don't know what you want but you have to get back out there. You can't keep the guys waiting to talk to me, it's not fair. So just hurry up and say whatever it is you want to say-"
"I broke up with Ami. Just thought I'd let you know." he said plainly. he turned away from her as she stared wide-eyed at him.
"W-what?"
He stood up and walked up to her.
"W-why would you do that?" she sputtered, staring into his lavender eyes.
"Why? Why do you think?...so I could be with you..." he shrugged.
"What?! I don't understa-"
"Ten look, I can't stop thinking about you." he breathed. "Every time you talk, every time you walk, every time I look at you, it's like someones splashing a bucket of cold water in my face. It's a wake up call."
She shook a bit.
"I really want to make something work with you. I really like you."
Tenten stared into his eyes for a few moments before she scoffed and crossed her arms. he raised a brow in confusion.
"You know, I don't get you. You come off as the type of guy who wouldn't try for a girl. You'd rather take whatever's in a skirt then put an effort into dating. You know why I didn't like you? Because you're arrogant! Cocky! and you only think with your penis!" she spat.
He blinked a couple times as she took a deep breath and shifted her eyes, looking back to him.
"But...when we kissed...it showed me a side of you that's more than the playboy you come off to be...and it made me...want to know more...and have more...as least maybe...try." she mumbled.
"Really?"
"Really." she sighed.
"Good," he blew out a breath. "I haven't had to confess to a girl since I was fifteen."
She rolled her eyes, "how I pity you, now shut up and kiss me!"
He smirked and leaned in to her.
"Now that I can do..."
~*A.H*~
"alright everybody! Ten minutes until New Year's! Is everyone ready?!" Naruto yelled into the microphone. The large audience of Omega fans cheered loudly.
"I can't hear you!" he yelled again. The screams grew even louder .
"I said I can't-" Sasuke grabbed the mike from his hand and pushed him aside.
"We'll be back to finish off the night in a few minutes." he announced calmly, his hand in Naruto's face as he struggled to get the mike back.
All five boys walked back to find the Ino and Hinata talking excitingly to Tenten.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked, sitting next to Hinata.
She waved her hand, "oh, it's nothing."
"Just Tenten and Neji are dating!"
"Say what?" Naruto shot back in his seat.
"hey aren't you missing some people?" Shikamaru sighed.
"They went to go get our clothes...Hey...aren't you?" Ino raised a brow and smirked.
Shikamaru turned around, only to find Gaara and Sasuke absent.
"Hmm...no clue."
~*A.H*~
Sakura and Megami walked down the backstage hall carrying all the girls clothing and talking about current events and clothing.
"-So because I put my blue panties in with my whites, so now everything has either white stripes or blue stirpes." Megami sighed.
"You idiot, I've told you time and time again you're not supposed to put your colors in with your-"
Both girls stopped instantly when they noticed Sasuke leaning against the wall, just as they were about to pass.
"Hey Sasuke," Sakura smiled.
He nodded to her and turned to Megami, "hey. Can we talk? I can't leave until we do."
She looked down and examined the clothes as he patiently waited. Sakura looked back and forth to them.
"Uh... sure..."
"Guess that's my cue to go!" Sakura laughed nervously, taking the clothes from Megami who continued to stare to the floor.
She rushed down the hall and glanced back to them as she turned a corner.
Sasuke and Megami sat down on the waiting chairs by an unused dressing room. They sat in silence for a few moments before Sasuke finally sighed and spoke.
"I'm sure you know I want to talk about what happened on Christmas-"
"I'm sorry about running out, it was because of some personal problems I didn't mean to throw them on you or burst out like that I'm really sorry." she said quickly, shutting her eyes.
He shook his head, "It's fine, but I want to talk about…what was happening before that."
She blushed and opened her eyes, looking down as she clenched her pants. "Before that...?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"What about it...?"
"Don't tell me you weren't feeling the same thing I was. Because I know you were. I don't understand why we shouldn't act on it. I also think we should talk about-"
"I just wanna be friends." she said quickly and shutting her eyes tight.
He stopped and turned his head to her slowly.
"What...?"
"I-I just wanna be friends…" she repeated then sighed. "Sasuke look, I think you're a really cool guy and I like getting to know you. You're less of a jerk than I thought you were...anyway, I do like you...but...I am in no position to be dating. I just...I'm just not ready...please understand...it's all me..."
she opened her eyes to find him looking to the ground, his hair dulled over his eyes.
"Friends...please? Trust me, it'll be a lot better then dating me."
He turned and stared into her eyes.
She stared back, silenced.
He smirked.
"Sure. Friends." he said.
She held her arms out and he pulled her into a hug, sighing into her shoulder.

Sakura hummed as she trailed back to the dressing room with the clothes. She forced herself to keep her mind off one figure, but at the moment, it was hard to to. It had been hard to do for a week.
"I know it was just a kiss. Maybe even a little more than that…but, I actually felt something, I have never felt with anyone."
She stopped in place. Though she did not turn around when Gaara stepped out of a random room that she had just passed.
"I know. Part of me...feels the same way." she said tonelessly.
She slightly turned to her side just as Gaara stepped further out and walked around to stand in front of her, his hands in his pockets.
"Well...what about the other part...?"
"Shouldn't you get back out to the show? I'm sure the guys are waiting." she shot him a smile as she tried to move past him. But, he stepped in front of her and held her shoulders.
Her emerald eyes clashed with his jade.
"I'm sure you know by now that this is something I don't normally do with girls. Don't walk away from me Sakura, I really want to talk. About...what happened..."
"Gaara…can you please…give me some time to…you know…sort out my feelings?" she asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not really sure how I feel yet and I don't want to give you a rushed answer because I don't want to walk into something without understanding it. Give me a little time. Please." she pleaded.
He searched her eyes for some sort of explanation or to find something or the sort.
When she simply smiled at him, he sighed.
"Alright. But I won't hold back for long."
She grinned but then suddenly gasped.
"We need to get back! You guys have like two minutes to finish the concert!"
~*A.H*~
"So what happened?" Ino crossed her arms and frowned as she and Hinata stood in front of Tenten, Megami, and Sakura while the boys stood on stage.
"Neji and I are officially a thing," Tenten shrugged. "I don't know how long it's going to last but I'm hoping for a fun ride."
"I asked Gaara to give me sometime" Sakura smiled, "he seemed okay with it. I want to try something with him but I'm just not confident in it yet."
"And I told Sasuke I want to be just friends." Megami huffed. "I'm done with dating, you guys know that. At least until I get my head together."
"Just friends huh?" Ino raised a brow. She looked to all four of the girls and they looked back to her as she took a deep breath and let it out with a smile.
"Well! It's a new year. Who knows what we have in store!"
"Alright everybody!" Naruto yelled to the crowd as the wide screen behind them counted down from ten.
"Five, four, three, two, one-!"
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" everyone yelled as a large explosion and fireworks lit up behind the boys.
