NARUTO
All I Need To Know
CHAPTER TEN
Three Things Emma Disliked
The first happened the following day, when the idols faced their first round of eliminations, and the second happened the following round, called DUETS.
The first elimination was horrible for her, because FOUR idols got kicked out!! FOUR!
They were:
Zaku
Sore
Sakura
And Mari!
Emma was furious, but what could she do? The crowd had voted...hadn't they?
Sore thought: I cannot say anything without looking like a sore loser...but Hoshi CHEATED. That is not right...
The next part Emma hated was the DUETS.
Why?
Because, of course, Hoshi got paired up with Kankurou. She was thrilled...but...she didn't have to hug him like that!
Another part Emma disliked was when Hoshi told Mushi and Musha that Neji and Sasuke were gay, just because they were singing together.
THEY'RE ENGAGED TO TENTEN AND INO!! Inner-Emma angrily yelled.
And, Emma was singing with Garaa.
Sasuke and Neji went first, singing Promises by Savage Garden. Emma thought that they were really good, but Hoshi still snickered.
Mushi and Musha just glanced at each other.
Hmm... Thought Emma. And yet...and yet I wonder...
She suddenly realised that it was time for Kankurou and Hoshi to sing.
She was calm, though, because Kankurou had told her that they were singing Breaking Free, which was not really a love song.
So, was Emma ever surprised - and startled - when it turned out that Kankruou and Hoshi were singing At The Beginning With You, which was one!
She thought about the song she and Garaa were going to sing next, Time Of My Life, ran over to him, said something, and then the two of them ran back to the studio room on the farm to practice their other song.
They stepped onto the stage. Emma was very calm. Garaa was too.
"I will always be with you, I'll be by your side, whatever you do..." Garaa sung.
"Even if we're apart, now we're joined at the heart, though our moment may be gone..." Emma trilled.
Together, they sung the chorus. "I will always be with you, like a guardian angel, constant and true..."
Emma sung with strength. She was very certain that it had been Hoshi who'd changed her and Kankurou's song at the very last minute.
"When you're lost in the night, and you can't see the light..." Emma sung.
"My love will see you through!" Garaa sounded great! "I will always be there..."
"You'll have me there!" Emma added.
"I will always be with you..." They finished.
Kankurou was watching from backstage. His face was expressionless.
Next, came the solo songs, and everyone was prepared, especially Emma.
Kankurou tried to talk to her, but she was 'busy'. She smiled at him a few times, though.
Sasuke sung Far Away by Nickelback.
Then, Neji sung Let's Kick It Up from Digimon Adventure 02.
Garaa went next, and he sung another Savage Garden song called I Want You. Hmm...
Then, there was Hoshi. And she sung...Want, by Disturbed.
Emma nearly died.
Kankurou went up next. He sung Hazard, by Richard Marx (the duet he did with Hoshi was originally by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis).
Hoshi thought it was for her.
Emma prayed it was for her.
Kankurou was singing it for Emma, of course.
Then, Emma went onstage.
What did she sing?
Call Me When You're Sober, by Evanescence.
Kankurou winced. He knew that that one was for him!
The third thing Emma disliked was what she saw that very night, and it was the worst things of all.
She didn't know why she got up. She didn't know why she walked by the kitchen.
And she didn't know why she saw Hoshi kiss Kankurou on the lips.
It took Garaa a long time to figure out why Emma was playing Hell and Decadence on the farm's piano. He finally figured it out when he saw Hoshi drift by, and Kankurou came by a minute later.
He had black lipstick on his chin.
Only Hoshi wore black lipstick.
Kankurou didn't even stop. He just went back to his room, and Hoshi went back to hers.
"Save me, from wreaking my vengeance upon you to, killing more then I can tell! Soul of the night I know..." Was about all Emma got up to, before she started to cry hot and angry hysterical tears, and Garaa had to hold her.
Luckily, Jaws swooped in with the message that Yumi's parents were going to meet them in Silver Shell Bay, where they were heading next.
Emma stood up when Jaws had finished talking, bowed to Garaa, and then ran. She crashed through the window, transforming herself into the red dragon Tatsujuu, and soared away into the night.
She collapsed into her bed at quarter to six.
They were awoken at five fifty-five.
