Songs in order:
Pressure - Paramore
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
One - Metallica
Scream Aim Fire - Bullet For My Valentine

Own Naruto, I do not. To Kishimoto-san, it belongs. To the respective owners the songs belong.

The next day, Sasuke woke up to his new girlfriend's voice on the radio, singing 'Pressure'. He smiled, and went inside his bathroom to take a shower while turning the volume up to maximum, doing something he rarely did: singing along with the song.

He was about to put his shirt on when his phone rang. He recognized the number and picked up.

"Hey baby."

"Hi Sasuke-kun! Hey, last night we were too...um...busy to decide when I'd start my guitar lessons."

"How about today? Got nothing better to do anyway."

"What was that? We haven't been together even a single day and you're already putting me on the second place?" She asked playfully. He smirked.

"That will require some getting used to. I always use that sentence."

"I forgive you. But I'll stop by at 1, okay? Kida busy writing somethin' right now."

"Writing? You just released your first album! Don't go overkill, Pinkie. It can kill you."

"Chill out, baby. We ain't workin' on a second record. Which doesn't mean we can't go writin' stuff. I remember a certain Uchiha telling me that 'whenever you get inspiration, just write. It can always prove useful afterward' after we did some serious karaoke."

"Hn. True. I guess I'm not fully awake yet. It ain't saturday for no reason after all. Which reminds me. Don't you have a gig to dominate tongiht?"

"Nope. We got the day off. The owner of the place we were supposed to perform suddenly closed the joint 'cuz his grandma died."

"Hn. Alright then. See you in 2 hours then."

"Okay. See ya!"

He hung up, picked up his shirt from his bed and left to get some breakfast. When he stepped on the last step of the stairs, a way too loud burst of noise came from the living room. Sasuke recognized it as Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' and smirked. Looks like the dobe was trying to get a perfect career again. He walked into the kitchen and put some bread in the toaster before going to the living room, switching channels on the tv. Kiba stopped playing, but Naruto just kept going, oblivious to the fact the tv was on a news channel now. Sasuke smirked and put the game screen back on to show that Naruto hadn't missed a note. Kiba shook his head, muttering something like 'no-lifer', before picking up the bass part again.

The doorbell rang and Sasuke was downstairs to answer it in a matter of seconds. He opened the door and led his grilfriend in, giving her a quick kiss. He then noticed something, or rather he didn't see something he should.

"Where's your guitar?"

"Umm...yea, about that...I....kinda have no guitar" she said, an innocent smile appearing on her lips. He sighed exeggerative.

"Lesson one and you already forget your gear. You're hopeless. Well, let's go."

She looked at him puzzled. "Go where?"

"To buy you a guitar of course."

"But I'm broke! I can't afford a guitar right now!"

"I can."

Silence.

"What?" He asked casually.

"I...I can't ask that from you."

"You didn't. I offered to buy you one."

Silence again.

"But...But I ain't-"

"You are very much worth it, Sakura" he interrupted her. "Besides, I'm a millionaire for fuck's sake! What's a couple thousands of cash to me?"

"I can't argue with that" she finally gave in. "Thank you."

He smiled. "You're welcome. Izumo, get my car."

"Your car?"

"Yep. My own black Lotus Elise. Birthday present from my brother." He smirked at her expression. "Being the little brother of a rock star has its good sides, you know."

"You guys are nuts..." she concluded, shaking her head and hopping in the passenger's seat of Sasuke's car.

"Here we are. Yamato's."

"Never heard of" she said, already window shopping. He chuckled. She looked up.

"What's so funny?"

"You're acting like a small kid in a candy shop the size of our house."

"Well, forgive me! But just look at all those awesome guitars they have here!"

"I know. And not only do they look great, they're top quality, too. There's no better guitars then Yamato's."

She looked surprised. "Really? Then why have I never heard of him before?"

"He works for Gibson" Sasuke explained. "He's an employee of theirs, and runs this store on their behalf. But he crafts better guitars than any other guitar maker."

"I see."

Sasuke opened the door for her and went inside the store after she had passed the doorstep, closing the door behind him. He wasn't surprised to see that the place was packed. He walked to the counter and waited for the brown-haired man to come to help him. Since he was currently talking with a man who didn't completely agree with his son buying a guitar, he suggested that his girlfriend should look around for a bit first. She agreed, and they walked over to the stock section. Sakura couldn't believe what she saw. Acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, acoustic bass guitars, equipment...She looked at Sasuke.

"Can I really pick what I like?"

"Go ahaead. I'll hear it when you're done" he said smirking and he took out his iPod, but she persisted.

"But Sasuke-kun, I need you to advice me on what I need!"

He sighed exeggerative. She punched him playfully, or tried to. Her hit never landed, because Sasuke had grabbed her wrist and held it tightly. She struggled to get loose, but in vain: he was much too strong. He smirked, looked at her to see her pouting, sighed again, and released her. She smiled sweetly and glomped him. He shook her off and looked at Yamato, who appeared to be done. Sasuke helped Sakura off the floor and went to talk to Yamato. The older man looked up, glad to see his famous guitar-playing friend. Sasuke smirked.

"Wassup, Yamato. You're doing good business lately, huh?"

"Yo, Uchiha. Yeah, these are good days. But I owe you big time for this, dude. You're my publicity."

"Yep. No better publicity than a famous rocker playing your guitars" Sasuke said smirking. He wrapped his arm around Sakura and pulled her closer.

"Speaking of guitars, I'm about to buy my girlfriend one."

Yamato laughed out loud. It took him about thirty seconds to cut it out. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"May I ask what's so extremely funny that you're cracking up?"

"Nothing dude" Yamato said, still chuckling. "I just didn't ever picture you having a girlfriend of all things. I thought you labeled girls annoying."

"Wrong. I labeled fangirls annoying. But Sakura's more than just a fangirl. She's special" Sasuke said, looking Sakura in the eye, making her blush.

"All right. What did you have in mind, Pinkie?" Yamato asked, still smirking.

Sakura thought about it for a while and concluded "Something pink. Don't care what brand or type."

Yamato looked amused and walked to the back of the store, gesturing the two to follow him. He picked up a pink Gibson X-Plorer and handed it to Sakura. Then he picked up a different shade pink Gibson Firebird and finally, a Gibson Les Paul with exactly the same color as Sakura's hair. She immediately fell in love with it and chose it as her new instrument. Sasuke decided to surprise her and gestured Yamato to come closer.

"Can you, like, put a custom graphic on it or something? For free?" he whispered.

"I think that'd be possible. What did you have in mind?" Yamato whispered back.

"Dunno. My family logo or something. No, on second thought, make it her band's logo" Sasuke hissed smirking slyly. Yamato grinned.

"Consider it done."

"Awesome. And while you're at it add a whammy bar too." Sasuke said. Yamato nodded and turned his attention back to Sakura.

"Alright Pinkie. You got your guitar. Pick an amp. You won't need one when you're with Uchiha since he seems to always have one at hand, but you may want to practice at home too. Just choose the one you like the most."

Sakura looked helplessly to Sasuke. He chuckled and took a look at the many different amps, before deciding on a Fender Vintage Reissue '65 Twin Reverb 85 Watts 2x12 inch Amp. She didn't know why he'd picked that one, but she trusted him, plus it looked slick. After the amp they moved on to the bags. Sakura picked a standard black bag along with numerous gimmicks she'd use to personalize her bag. Yamato threw in a package of free guitar picks and a bunch of goodies before going to his workshop. Sasuke smirked and Sakura asked him why.

"Just wait, Pinkie" Sasuke said. "Got a little surprise for you."

She turned her attention back to the door leading to the workshop, listening to the noise that came from it and anxiously awaited to get her surprise. After what seemd like hours to her Yamato returned with her guitar and showed it to her. Her eyes widened. Sasuke wrapped an arm around her waist smirking.

"Surprise. Do you like it?"

"Oh my god Sasuke thank you!! You're the best boyfriend ever!!" she squealed while nearly hugging him to death. He just smiled and mentally high-fived Yamato. He opened his mouth to say that he'd like to be set free now, but he never got the chance because Sakura caught his lips with her own.

"All right lesson one is how to hold the guitar, and the way you're doing it now is wrong" Sasuke said. "Don't try to copy Ino's or Naruto's or even my style. Just pick it up and hold it the way you like."

"Okay, so you mean like this?" Sakura said while positioning her newbought instrument the way she felt playable. Sasuke checked it and nodded. He lifted her left hand a bit up and explained this would be better to get the frets right. She hesistantly held a chord and strummed, not knowing what the hell she was doing. Sasuke immediately saw this and chuckled.

"Hold up a minute, Pinkie. Don't rush. Pick some single snares first, they're easier."

He explained the difference between snares and chords and taught her how to play both. She was a quick learner and already growing familliar with holding a guitar. He smirked at her progress and gave her something to practice on.

"Here, try this one out. It's called 'One'. Metallica. The intro is real easy to learn."

Sasuke showed Sakura which snares to hold and watched her battle with the guitar for a bit. It took het about two minutes to figure out. Then Sasuke took it up a notch, with Deep Purple's 'Smoke On The Water'. This went on for a while until there came a loud burst of noise from upstairs. Naruto had started playing Guitar Hero again, and of course he just HAD to play 'Scream Aim Fire', one of the loudest songs in the game. Sasuke rolled his eyes and told her she should practice a bit more at home. He then took her gear to his car, dumped it in the trunk, held the car door open for her before jumping into the driver's seat and driving her home.

Muhahahahaa! Sakura just took the first steps on the gold-paved road of the guitar! Now it's just up to me... Anyways, Next up: News flash and P.I.L. (What that stands for, find out next time)! Sayonara!

Rock on
