RECAP
Haruto ended the song and turned around to thank his band mates and as he about to he noticed Emiko standing by the curtain.
He smiled
She smiled and ran into his arms in front of a crowd full of people.
The people cheered as they started making out on stage.
Sasuke was about to go and knock Haruto out, but Sakura's hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
"Let them be Sasuke."
END OF RECAP
Chapter #9- the song
Sasuke turned and followed Sakura, still not being able to let go of his fatherly instincts for his daughter.
Haruto dragged Emiko off the stage so that they were right by the curtain
She had her hands in his hair and he was caressing her face
"I never want to let you out of my sight again" he whispered into her ear
"Me neither, can we stay like this forever?"
Haruto leaned back and thought for a moment
"Well actually…….we can"
She looked at him quite puzzled at first but then, when he got down on one knee her brain kind of kicked into gear.
"Oh my god…"
"Emiko Uchiha, I love you and I never want be apart from you. While I was on that mission I realized how much I take things for granted. I know that I don't have a ring or anything but…..will you marry me?"
Silent tears were dripping her eyes at this point until she started sobbing
"Yes! Yes! Of course I will!"
Haruto got up just in time to catch her as she jumped into his arms.
She pulled back and he started whipping the tears from her cheeks.
Suddenly a thought struck her.
"Oh my god, what are we gonna tell my parents?"
An "oh-shit" look suddenly appeared across Haruto's face. But he quickly whipped it off.
"Don't worry, as much as they love each other I'm sure they'll understand. I mean your dad might-"
"OH MY GOD! MY DAD!"
At this point she was completely freaking out
"What about me?"
They both turned around at the sudden presence of a new voice.
"Dad? Oh dad I'm so glad that you're okay!" She screamed and ran up to hug him
"Hey, I'm glad to see you too. But why are you crying, did Haruto do something to you?" he said giving a murderous glare.
She shook her head
"No dad, of course not"
She looked at Haruto to get a signal of approval on telling him about their engagement, he nodded.
"Dad we're getting married."
Sasuke's face went pale, and Emiko prepared for a raging thunderstorm.
"WHAT!"
"Dad please try to understand"
"Understand! No no no you are way too young to be getting married!"
"But!-"
"NO BUTS!" he screamed and stormed away
He was on his way out when he ran into Sakura just heading their way from the bathroom.
"Hey honey, why are you so mad all a sudden?" she asked trying not get him even madder
"Do you want to know how immature our daughter is? She and Haruto are engaged! TO BE MARRIED!" he said pacing back and forth waving his hands in the air
Sakura just looked at him like he was doing something cute
She grabbed one of his arms to try and calm him down
"Sasuke" she whispered as she leaned against him
He growled against her skin still breathing heavily and trying to let go of his anger. He slowly forgot about the situation between Haruto and Emiko and started focusing on Sakura.
"mmmm Sakura" he said and started kissing her neck
"Sasuke maybe should go home and do this"
"Ah" he answered
That was the last thing he said as he started leading her home.
Emiko was pacing around her dressing room fuming about what her dad had said
"I can't believe he said that! I am so ready get married" she looking at Haruto who gave her a look in return
"I mean seriously, we have been dating for what 4 years maybe more now. I mean why can't he just be happy for me!" she yelled throwing her hands around in the same manner Sasuke was just moments before.
Haruto was sitting on the couch watching her babble on and on about the fight she had with her dad about the engagement. This is why he loved her. She had this personality that drove him crazy.
"ERRRRRRRR! I need to write a song"
He smirked, he honestly saw this coming. Whenever Emiko got mad or distressed about something she always wrote a song to clam herself down.
"I think it's time for me to get of the couch" He said as Emiko sat at her keyboard
He came up behind her and sat down on the bench next to her and kissed her neck while she leaned back against his chest.
"hmmmmm? What to write what to write?" she whispered taping her pencil against the keyboard
She then placed the pencil on her mouth thinking for a couple minutes then scribbled something on the sheet in front of her and showed it to Haruto.
"Will you play it for me so I can sing?"
He looked at the paper and then back at her.
"These lyrics are great, I can't believe you just thought them up spontaneously"
"Well it's only the first verse, it's not done yet."
She pointed to the paper
"Play please" she said
Haruto started playing the notes she had written on the paper
Hop
a fast train out of town
Downside up and upside down
Going
fast is going slow
What could've been I'll never know
In this
place that has no name
I can't remember why I came
Then I
hear you whisper to me
One more mile to Jericho
Nothing is
ever what it seems
When you live inside of you dreams
Haruto stopped playing
"That was really great, I think you should continue it." He said
She giggled
"Okay….will you help me?"
He looked at her and smiled surprised she asked him to help her write a song. She was normally very passionate about her music and wouldn't let anybody lay a hand on her song portfolio.
"Sure"
"Alright, so what should I make the chorus about?" she asked stuck on the next part
"Hmmm, well maybe you can say something about your heart and how when people say goodbye it doesn't affect you because you've moved on."
She smiled
"That's perfect!" she screamed and scribbled her thoughts onto the paper and showed him
"That's great! Alright what do you have for the next part?"
"I got a pretty good idea." She said scribbling down the last of her thoughts and showing him the final result
"Cool, you want to practice it now?"
She nodded, getting excited. She loved practicing and performing the songs she wrote.
"Alright, here we go"
The music started and she sang
Hop
a fast train out of town
Downside up and upside down
Going
fast is going slow
What could've been I'll never know
In this
place that has no name
I can't remember why I came
Then I
hear you whisper to me
One more mile to Jericho
Nothing is
ever what it seems
When you live inside of you dreams
Everybody gets the joke The walls will tumble
One more mile And love will save us The walls will tumble
CHORUS:
The walls will tumble
The walls will tumble
But I'm not
going to cry
My heart won't crumble
My heart won't crumble
If we ever say goodbye
Where's
the fire
Where's the smoke
Money, Love and Jealousy
Something's got a hold on me
But I will follow you where
you go
One more mile to Jericho
The walls will tumble
But I'm not going to cry
My heart
won't crumble
My heart won't crumble
If we ever say
goodbye
One more kiss
One more word
One
more wish
This I know
From this
place called Jericho
The walls will
tumble
But I'm not going to cry
My heart won't crumble
My
heart won't crumble
If we ever say goodbye
The
walls will tumble If we ever say goodbye
The walls will tumble
But I'm not going to
cry
My heart won't crumble
My heart won't crumble
If we
ever say goodbye
Goodbye
They both stopped
"Oh my gosh" she said
Haruto was looking at the keyboard, he couldn't move "I think that's the best you've ever written." He said turning to look at her.
She turned and smiled at him.
"Thanks, I just hope my dad likes it. I wrote it for him and my mom. I already know my mom will like it."
Haruto smiled at her, she was so cute with her face like it was, all hopeful
"I'm sure he'll love it, and if he doesn't you're mom will make him haha"
She turned to him and started laughing as they left her dressing room with her newly put together song.
But the question is, Will Sasuke like the song and will he ever approve of them getting married?
Uchiha Sasume: WOW! I think this is the longest chapter I have ever written for any of my fics! Well I'm sorry for the late update, but I hope you guys liked this chapter, and I hope it wasn't too cheesy for you!
So, since Emiko and Haruto are getting married I need a few ideas on how I should lead the story up to their wedding. Got any suggestions?
