Konoha High School – The Girl with the Violin (A Sasuke Love Story) Chapter 8: Agent Double 'O' Donut
"Good job everyone, let's just go through the Vivaldi one more time." We picked up our instruments and began to play as Genma conducted. It was Thursday, yet another boring day at school.
If you're wondering what happened the days after I had my little 'sugar rush,' let's just say I didn't do much. I pretty much slept in class the whole time. The teachers didn't seem to mind it though, they had already had enough of me the day before. They actually phoned my dad about everything I did on my rampage. Looks like I won't be having any sweets anytime soon. Needless to say, dad locked them away in a safe at our house. I'm gonna miss you Mr. Ice Cream!
Surprisingly enough, I don't recall a single thing from that day. Who says beer and alcohol are the only ways to get hammered.
BRRIINNGG!
"Okay people, call time tonight is 6:30 sharp!" Genma shouted at us as we packed up. I was actually kinda nervous for tonight's concert. Genma had given me a solo, a super boring solo. It wasn't like it was crazy easy, but it was one that would make the audience fall asleep for sure. It's not how I wanted everyone at school to see me at my first performance.
~LUNCH~
I was sitting down at our regular table, hardly touching my food. "Hey, Nausicaa, you gonna finish that?" Choji asked me, referring to my tray full of food. I slid it over to him. "Knock yourself out." He smiled and started to dig in. I sighed the heaviest sigh I had ever sighed in my life. It made everyone in the group turn to look at me.
"Uh, is something the matter?" Hinata asked me full of concern. "Nope, everything's fine and dandy." Sarcasm lingered on my every word. "Right, so what's bugging you so bad, the fact that you can't have ice cream anymore?" Temari joked. "No...well yes...but no. That's not what's bothering me."
"This wouldn't have anything to do with your orchestra concert would it?" Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at me. Sometimes he was a little too smart, it made me wonder if he could read minds.
"No, I can't read your mind. I saw a flyer hanging in the hallway earlier." He answered my unasked question. Did he just... "No, I didn't just read your thoughts again." He took a sip from his drink.
"Stop that doing that, will ya! You're buggin me out!" I held my head, afraid he'd do it again.
"I thought you did lots of concerts. What's so different about this one?" Naruto asked curiously. I explained to them the whole situation about the solo. "It's too bad you can't play one of your own songs, I really enjoyed those." Hinata told me.
That's perfect! I'll just blow off the song Genma assigned me and play one of mine instead. Then again, he might get super mad if I play something totally different on the night of the concert. Oh well, it's not like I haven't already gotten into trouble before. What's one more detention added to the list.
"Hinata, you're a fuckin genius!" I got up and squeezed the life out of her. "T-Thanks?" She looked at the others, not knowing what she just did. "Now if you'll excuse me I gotta go practice!" I grabbed my violin and headed for the exit. But like always, someone came and prevented me from doing so.
"Yo, Kamiya."
"What is it, Uchiha? I don't really have time to insult you and your morons right now." I motioned over to his friends next to us. "Hey!" Kiba remarked at the comment. "Like talking to you isn't a waste of my time. Besides I just came to tell you that Mrs. Kotone told me we had to go pick a song for the stupid showcase." Of course, something just had to go wrong.
"I can't, I've got things to do." I patted the side of my case. "Looks like you're on your own, pretty boy." I started walking again but Sasuke grabbed hold of my arm. "If I have to go through this hell then so do you." He started dragging me out of the room with him. "Let go! This is kidnapping!" I struggled to get free from his iron grip, but he was really determined. "Just wait til my lawyer hears about this!" I yelled as we disappeared from view.
~In A Practice Room at School~
"What about this one?" Sasuke asked me, holding up some sheet music. "Nuh-uh." I replied. I rolled over on my back. We were sitting on the floor of a practice room going through a box full of music, half of which I had already rejected. Partly because I honestly didn't like the song and partly to get on Uchiha's nerves. Let's face it, I'd never pass up a chance to mess with him, it was just too much fun.
"You know sooner or later you're gonna have to pick something." He sighed standing up. He walked over to a shelf and got out another box of music. "I pick later." I said bluntly. Sasuke sat back down in front of me and rummaged through the old papers. I got bored and started humming, thinking of a new song to write for the concert. I closed my eyes and imagined myself playing my violin, it always helped me think of new ideas.
"What the hell are you doing?" I opened my eyes and looked up at him. I guess I hadn't realized I had started to do the motions. "What does it look like I'm doing, dummy?" I questioned as if it was obvious. "Acting like an idiot." He smirked at me. "Haha, no. I was writing a new song for your information." He looked at me kind of surprised. "You write music?" I sat up. "Yup siree, for my violin." I smiled widely. "I bet it's terrible." He chuckled. "Oh, like you can write music." I retorted folding my arms across my chest. "Actually I can, I write the music for our band and besides, Sakura and Ino told me that you love my music. So much, in fact, that you were dancing and singing to it in the halls the other day." He smiled proudly. I stared at him in disbelief. I didn't know what was crazier; the part about him writing music or the idea that I would be caught listening to anything he sang.
"What are you blabbing on about? I don't listen to your songs, I'd be eaten by a zombie before I'd put myself through that torture." He narrowed his eyes at me for a second but then reached over and grabbed my backpack. "Hey!" I protested. He was breaking so many laws today, first kidnapping me and then invading my privacy, I was gonna sue this kid. He soon found what he was searching for; my iPod. He turned it on. "Good luck getting it open. No one's ever figured out my-"
"Got it." He said grinning at me. "What the, how the hell did you figure it out so fast!?" Sasuke began scrolling through my playlist. "Like it or not, and I choose not, we were best friends once."
Best friends...I wonder what it would be like if nothing ever happened between the three of us, would it be for the better or the worse?
"Here," he handed me one of the earpieces from the headphones, "This is the song I wrote." I placed it in my ear. My eyes slowly began to widen, causing a huge smirk to make its way across his lips. It can't be! My favorite song is Uchiha's!? That's it, the world is officially coming to an end. "You're lying. 'Something in the Air' isn't your song." I refused to believe such nonsense.
Before Sasuke had a chance to say anything, someone opened the door. It was a teacher by the looks of it. "Excuse me, what are you two doing in here? Shouldn't you be in class?" Wow, this guy looked strict. We actually were supposed to be in class but the choir teacher excused us. "You see-" Sasuke began to explain but he was interrupted. "Who are you anyways, I want names." He demanded. I got up and stood next to Sasuke.
"I am General Super Secret Agent Waffles and he is my partner in crime, Agent Double 'O' Donut. The mean one...Now he'll just stare at me until I am done talking. And when he thinks I am done talking, then he will start talking again."
Silence...
"Alrig-" Sasuke began.
"See!"
"Goddammit Kamiya!"
"Classic Donut." I grinned while Sasuke looked as if he was about to murder me. "Do you take me as some sort of idiot! You kids are coming with me to detention!" The teacher shouted furiously.
I grabbed Sasuke's hand and bolted out the door. "I can't get detention today, I gotta freakin concert to go to!" I shouted back at the teacher who was now giving chase. "What are you doing!? You're gonna get us into more trouble!" Sasuke panicked. "Oh don't get you panties in a twist, Double 'O' Donut. Live on the wild side for once!" I took a sharp turn at the corner, almost causing Uchiha to run into the wall. Man, so close.
"Stop calling me that!" We came to a dead end. "Crap." I muttered, looking for another way.
"Ha! No where to run now!" The scary teacher started to run towards us. Oh man oh man oh man! What do I do!? Think Waffles think, maybe if I do the noodle dance...
"Come on, in here." Sasuke pulled on my hand and we went into a storage room. There was a closet in the very corner. He dragged me over and pushed me inside, then closed the doors as he got in. It was a really small closet. He was pinning me against the back wall because we didn't have room. I put my hands on his chest so I didn't feel so smushed.
Wow, he had some firm pecs. What the hell am I thinking?! Get those perverted thoughts outta your head Nausicaa! I can't think of Sasuke in that way, it's just too weird!
I noticed that he finally turned his head to me but his eyes were still glued to where the door was. "I know you ran in here." The man started walking into the room. I felt Sasuke's body tense as he heard his voice.
"Uchi-" His hand quickly covered my mouth. The steps started getting closer and closer to the closet. Sasuke's hand tightened as time ticked by.
"If you come out then maybe I'll let you off with a warning." I rolled my eyes. Did he think we were that stupid, he wasn't tricking us that easily. I continued to hear him move stuff around. I was surprised he didn't check the closet first. What an idiot.
"I guess I was wrong," the man muttered to himself, "I'd better go check the other rooms." I heard the door slam shut. Was he gone? Sasuke lowered his hand from my mouth. "Alright...I think he's gone..." His eyes made their way over to me. When I looked up at him I could feel myself blush a thousand shades of red.
Whatever space there was between us had disappeared when he turned his whole body towards me. I held my breath, not moving an inch. I saw Sasuke's eyes go big as he noticed the position we were in. Our noses were touching and our lips almost met. Neither of us said a word.
Sasuke's POV
I continued to stare at Nausicaa. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her, she was mesmerizing. Over the past couple of days I've been doing the same thing; watching her. I didn't know why. She was the reason I haven't been getting much sleep lately, the reason I've been so touchy and on edge with everyone. I couldn't get her out of my mind and it frustrated me. I couldn't talk to anyone about it, she was my enemy and everybody knew it.
Did I like her? Is that what it was? After all these years...all these years I'd convinced myself that I detested her because of what I saw five years ago. I was in love with her back then...and I tried to wipe her out of my memory forever because...I was afraid of falling for her again. She's got this hold on me and I can't get away. But then, what if deep down it's because I don't want to. I thought I lost her when she moved away. But now she's back, what if this is my only chance? Am I really willing to waste it just for the sake of my image at school...
"U-Um..." I snapped out of my daze. I felt my face heat up as she kept looking at me. "S-Sorry, let me just...get the door open." I fumbled with the handle and pushed open the door. We stepped out, not making any eye contact. An awkward silence filled the room.
BRRIINNGG!
Thank god.
"Looks like school's over." I said. "Yeah," Nausicaa looked over at me, "I'm, uh, sorry I dragged you into this mess." I was finally able to look at her after my face cooled down. "What was that all about anyways, the whole, Agent Waffles and Donut thing?" She smiled sheepishly at me as she rubbed the back of her head. " Ha, I kind of always wanted to be in a spy movie so I just brought you along for the ride...Well, Uchiha,it's been fun, but I gotta get home." I saw her starting to blush. I smiled slightly at her embarrassment. I couldn't help but think she looked adorable when she blushed. "See you later Double 'O' Donut." She made her way quickly over to the door and smirked back at me. I casually put my hands in my pockets and nodded back at her. And with that she disappeared into the sea of students now filling the halls.
~LATER THAT NIGHT~
"So what are we gonna do tonight?" Ino asked. "I don't know, is there anything going on?" Sakura replied, taking a seat next to her on the couch.
We were all at Kankuro's house, trying to figure out something to do. It was only 5:30. I was sitting in one of the arm chairs. I didn't really care what they were going on about, the events from today kept running through my head.
"See ya, Kankuro." Temari and Gaara said coming downstairs. "Where are you two going?" Kiba asked, sitting up on the floor. Gaara went into the kitchen. "Well if you must know, we're going to see Nausicaa at her orchestra concert. She has this huge solo and we're not going to miss it." Temari answered, grabbing her purse. Gaara came back with his car keys and they left the house without another word.
That's right, Nausicaa said something about a concert when we were running away from that teacher. "Why don't we go to that?" All of us looked at Shino like he had gone insane. "Look I don't want to sit here and do nothing all day, let's just go watch the concert." He explained himself. "He's got a point. Plus I bet she sucks, we could totally rub it in her face later." Tenten agreed.
We argued about it for another hour until it was finally decided that we would go. It was 6:45 by the time we got there. Once we sat down in the auditorium I noticed that Naruto and his group were sitting two rows ahead of us. "This is going to be hilarious." Neji whispered next to me. I nodded in response. Suddenly the lights started to dim, signaling the start of the concert. The orchestra teacher came out and started talking about some things no one really cared about. Out of boredom I started looking around at everybody there. There were actually a lot of students, mostly fanboys coming to watch Nausicaa. I turned behind me and to my surprise I saw my brother Itachi sitting in the middle of the room with Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Pein, Kakuzu, Kisame and a kid with blue hair. He and Itachi were going on about something and messing around. What was he doing here, he graduated already. Why would he come see a dumb orchestra concert?
"So without further adieu, I present to you Konoha High's Chamber Orchestra!" The room quieted down as the musicians came out to take their seats. However, I couldn't help but notice that Nausicaa wasn't there. The group then sat down and some people started clapping. That's when she came out from behind the curtains.
Nausicaa's POV
I walked out on stage, a slight smile lighting my features. The audience started to cheer loudly but Naruto out-cheered everyone. "YEAH! GO NAUSICAA!" He stood up and put his fists in the air. "THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!" I laughed quietly as Kyoko pulled him down. I bowed and started to tune up the orchestra. As I sat down I kept looking out at the crowd in search of my dad and Tai. There in the middle of the room was Tai sitting with a bunch of his friends.
But no dad. It didn't surprise me, he was always working and was too busy to come to any of my performances. Tai felt bad for me so he made it an effort to come to everything. I can't say I wasn't hoping that dad would come. I knew I had to get it into my head that he would never see me play, it just wasn't going to happen.
The music we played basically put the teenagers to sleep while the parents sat there listening respectively to their children. I swear I heard someone snoring...I think it was Shikamaru. Finally our last piece came to an end, which meant it was my turn.
"Thank you. Now, ending our wonderful performance will be one of the best violinists our school has to offer. She will be playing a solo that she has worked extremely hard on." Genma praised. Yeah, sure, I've been practicing. I can't wait to see the look on his face when I blow it off. It'll be priceless! "Please welcome to the stage, Nausicaa Kamiya." Applause surrounded me as I took my place at the front of the stage. I looked out and saw my friends down in front. I gave them a warm smile, which they all returned. Naruto gave me two thumbs up and his cheesy grin.
Tai's POV
Nausicaa took center stage. She looked a bit nervous but I knew she could pull it off. "Hey, is that your sister?" Itachi whispered over to me. "Yeah, that's the squirt." I smiled proudly. Deidara leaned over on the other side of me. "Dude, that's your sister?! She's smokin!" The others quickly joined in on the conversation. "Is she dating anyone?" Sasori asked. "Like you'd have a chance, fucking asshole. She needs a real man like me!" Hidan said. Are they seriously doing this in front of me!? "Shut the fuck up you idiots! This is my baby sister we're talking about, none of you can date her!" I shut them up. They all sat back down in their seats, afraid I'd beat the crap out of them if they said anything else. I sighed heavily and returned my attention to Nausicaa.
She placed her bow on the string and began to play.
[This is the song she played, it's by Lindsey Stirling. I thought it had a nice infectious rhythm to it. Hope you like the music! Again, couldn't make it a link, please forgive me :) ]
watch?v=vxIOUJ7by6U
It wasn't anything like the orchestra had been playing though. The piece sounded like one of her songs, fun and energetic. She even had a beat playing in the background. I looked over to the conductor. He obviously had no idea what she was doing because he was shocked and completely pissed off. I saw her look at him out of the corner of her eyes, a smile made its way across her lips.
Typical squirt, always breaking the rules. The audience started getting really into it, some people even got up and started clapping to the rhythm. Some started dancing! It was awesome! The guys and I also got up and joined in. The smile on her face got even wider as she started to move along with the music.
Nausicaa's POV
The audience loved it! I couldn't help but grin as everyone started getting into the groove. I began dancing along with them and the applause got louder. I hopped off stage and started dancing around in the aisles. I ran over to where my brother was seated and motioned for him to come out on stage with me to dance. He nodded and we went back up. I kept the beat going and mimicked his moves as he danced hip hop and break danced. The crowd was eating it up! I've never gotten this kind of response before, it made me feel amazing.
I ended the song with a flourish of my bow and Tai and I leaned back to back as we faced the audience. They went wild!
"WHOOH! YEAH, Now that's a concert!"
"You rock Nausicaa!"
"We love you Nausicaa!"
Tai took a bow and then handed me the spotlight to take some credit. As I stood back up I saw one of the most shocking sights I've ever seen in my life. Sasuke was there with his friends...at my concert. When our eyes met Sasuke smirked at me and started to clap along with everyone else. Sasuke Uchiha, the guy that hated my guts, was clapping for me. And for some odd reason, I smiled back at him. I gave him a warm smile and nodded my head at him as a thank you. I think that sugar rush damaged my brain.
"Nausicaa..." I turned my head over to Genma. He put his hands up as if to strangle me. Uh-oh. "Um...hi there teach...so...how's it going?" I smiled nervously at him. "You RUINED the concert!" I gave him an innocent look. "What, I was only trying to liven things up. You're music was too boring and – oops!" I quickly shut up. If there's one thing you don't tell Genma is that his choice in music sucks. "AAAHHHH!"
Kiba's POV
Genma started running towards Nausicaa. By the look on his face he was going kill her. Nausicaa freaked out and started running in between the students on stage. "Holy shit, he's lost it." I said. "I 'm sorry! Don't kill me, if I'm late to dinner my dad will murder me!" Nausicaa started screaming and jumped off stage, making a beeline for the exit. She pushed the door open and ran out, Genma hot on her trail. The last thing we heard was, "I DON'T WANNA DIE TWICE!"
The entire room was silent. I really didn't know what to think at that moment. Kankuro broke the silence, "Uh, what just happened?"
Alright hope you liked it! I needed to put a concert in there somehow, I mean the story is call the girl with the violin. Haha anyways please message me with feedback, I'd love to know how I'm doing. Let me know if you want me to continue the story :)
