A rapt knock on the oak doors of the office was promptly followed by the call, "Excuse me, Mr. Hatake? Ms. Uzumaki?"

From his seat behind the desk Kakashi Hatake, interim CEO of the Konoha Corporation the largest shipping company in all of Japan, looked up towards the door and called out, "Come in."

As the door swung open the young woman standing at his side looked up from the reports she was trying to analyze to appraise the visitor. She was Kushina Uzumaki, fourteen year old heiress to the Konoha Corp. and child genius of business. She quickly straightened her small business suit as she addressed the secretary who appeared through the doorway. "Yes Moegi?"

"The American musicians have arrived and wish to speak to you about the event." Kushina froze with excitement and Kakashi quickly replied.

"Excellent, send them in." With a quick bow the secretary left the room and Kakashi turned to see his protege excitedly bouncing on her heels.

"I can't believe he is finally back! Ever since Minato moved to America to join that group things have been so boring around here." Kakashi smiled at her and replied,

"Indeed, it will be nice to see him again." Just as he finished a loud cacophony of laughter erupted from the hallway, slowly growing closer.

"No, no, no! I swear we're just friends!"

"Then why have you been talking about her nonstop since we decided we were coming to Japan?"

"You were incessant on the jet."

"Guys leave Minato alone."

"Ha! Fat chance, little dude deserves it!"

"Shut it fools! You make us look like tools! Be a little professional, in front of all these professionals. Yeah." With a collective sigh the group responded,

"Yes Bee..."

Into the room strode the nine individuals in Tail Beat Beasts, dressed in the trendy American style known as "Inner City". The group was all hoodies, tank tops and headphones, with baggy pants and several visible pairs of boxer shorts. The group manager, a veteran of the hip hop community named Killer Bee, marched up to the desk carrying a box under one arm. Around his neck hung a massive gold chain, the medallion of which depicted a half bull half octopus monster.

"Yo little miss, Japanese sis. Just wanted to stop by, so Minato could say hi. We're excited for the event, we're seriously ready to get bent. We gonna take that belt, the whole crowd is gonna melt." Kushina giggled at the mans lyrical sentences and unable to control herself any longer ran over to Minato and tackled him with a hug.

"Minato! I missed you so much! How was America? How long are you staying in Japan? Are the rumors true that you are dating Kuri?" Minato blushed heavily as he tried to pry himself from his best friend's inquisitive grasp.

"One, Awesome. Two, just the night we fly back after the concert for a gig in LA. Three, HELL NO she is like, ten years older than me."

"Hey! I'm not that much older than you brat!" retorted the dark skinned latina woman.

"Whatever."

"Hahaha, you never change." Kushina hoped off of Minato and straightened her suit before turning back to Bee and the others.

"Thank you all again for agreeing to play at the second annual charity concert. Last year's winners are feeling pretty confident from when I talked to them." The nine laughed at the comment, Bee's head tossed back as he chuckled and the light reflected off of his dark shades.

"Oh hey we brought a present for you." said Kazuhiko, elbowing Bee to remind him of what he was holding.

"Oh yeah!" Bee dropped the box on the desk and opened it. Inside were stacks of CD cases, the cover art depicting nine demons with varying numbers of tails.

"We got them for your employees. The release isn't for a few weeks yet so this is preemo stuff." said Kana.

"This is very generous of you all. I'm sure the office employees will love this." said Kakashi.

At the Concert Hall...

"Whoa! The crowd is just as big as last year!'' said Mika as she peeked out of the curtains from back stage. ''Shishishi, all here to watch us defend the title."

"And they charged more for the tickets too, so this year we raised even more for foster care." said Akio, tuning his guitar next to her. Across the stage Drake walked up to the pair with Nore and Lena in tow.

"Yo! You guys met the Americans yet? They are chilling in their greenroom."

''No! How are they? Are they any good?" asked Mika curiously looking at the the three band members.

"Nah, they are just some weird rapping punk group from America. You know Americans, talk big but don't back it up." replied Lena coolly. "Besides were the greatest rock band in all of Japan after we beat your dad last year."

"It is unwise to underestimate your rivals." said Nore as he oiled up his new trombone that he had acquired for their new piece.

"He is right, rumor has it that in only a year they have shot to the top of the charts in America. We gotta make sure we bring the heat." said Akio, slightly concerned.

"Pfft. After everything we put into this new song? We've worked on this for months. We even made Nore learn the trombone." said Mika, filled with confidence in her band. However as the band talked, the band manager soon realized that her band was yet to be complete missing two of her musicians. "Say where are Nicole and Ryuudo?"

"Yeeeaaaah about that..." said Lena as she scratched the back of her head.

"Ryuudo's skin condition is acting up again and Nicole is helping him try and apply some cream at the last minute." said Drake.

"What? It's acting up now?" said Akio in disbelief.

"Yup, unfortunately." From the doorway to their dressing room, aggravated shouts could be heard by the assembled members of Hurricane Touchdown.

"No! I'm not going out there like this!"

"But Ryuudo, we need you out on stage. This is huge for us, besides you look fine."

"Look fine? I look like a Charizard! I'm all bright red and my skin is scaly!"

"Ryuudo... will you do it for me?"

"…"

"Please?"

"Ohhh... fine. I'll go out on stage. I want the back spotlights dimmed though to minimize how much people see." Out of the dressing room the drummer and singer walked, Nicole looking worriedly at the self conscious man as he scratched at his forearms.

"Yo, what's happening Sharkman?" asked Drake playfully.

"Bite me." replied Ryuudo as he scratched his neck.

"Nah, not in the mood for sushi right now, maybe later." he then gave a kind smile to his old friend to show his completely benign intentions. Ryuudo returned a smirk and stopped his scratching.

"Good to have you with us big guy." said Akio as he patted the man on his broad shoulders.

"Yosh! With all of us together nothing can stop us!" said Mika with her fists in the air. On stage Kakashi and Kushina walked out in front to address the assembled masses.

"Welcome everyone! To the Second Annual Foster Care Charity Concert! Here we will lay witness as last years winners and the most popular rock group in all of Japan, Hurricane Touchdown, defends it's title against the American group Tailed Beat Beasts! And here to kick off the concert is the Americans themselves, multiple grammy winners, TAILED BEAT BEASTS!" said Kushina to the roaring crowds. The lights on stage lit up to reveal the nine musicians, Byron, Naruka, and Akane all standing on highrises behind sound boards as they were the ones who made the mad beats the group was famous for. Lower on stage the remaining six, all rappers by trade, waved and pointed at the crowds through the fog machine fog as the crowds cheered wildly.

"Konichiwa Bitches!" said Killer Bee, eliciting a surge in noise from the crowd. Minato held up his mike and jumped to the very edge of the stage.

"It's good to be back in Tokyooo! Yo yo yo, I know you don't remember me but I remember all of you! We are Tailed Beat Beasts and were hear to spit!" The crowds whistled and cheered at the nine as they showboated and absorbed the energy. In the front row a young woman with crimson hair held up a sign that read 'I love you Minato!'.

"Now I know you guys are expecting Japanese, but my friends here, they don't speak it too well. So we're bringin some American style and going with English, hope you guys like. Peace!" And with that the stage lights changed as they set into their song.

"This should be good." said Akio sarcastically from backstage. The others nodded to Akio's sarcastic tone, but all were focus on the American band as the began their song.

Bee: Yeah, that's right
Killa Bee, Kana, Kuri, Kazuhiko, Minato,
Yukio, Byron, Naruka, Akane,
'Bout to get rowdy right now.

Kazuhiko: Yeah. I'm an all time fighter, I make the next guy look like an actor
So the man dem wail like they matter, when I touch mic I see the men scatter

Kana: And they wanna talk big, but when it comes to big it they 'bout to get splatter
So I tell them to relax yourself, go home to your mom and stop being a catta
Yukio: Many guys wanna parr, many guys lookin to take this thing far
Many guys lookin' to be some big star, but soon enough them man about to get slappa
Kuri: So there's no need for chatter, no need for anything cheap and that's that
Anybody making a ting to get smacked up, back up, fam, now meet us 'round back

In the back Byron slammed down on the sound board as the bass dropped like a roaring behemoth, shaking the entire building and all the stunned fans inside of it.

All: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum

Byron, Naruka and Akane let loose in a flurry of hands as the beat exploded and the crowd went completely insane. The building sounded as if demons were wrestling inside of it as the three worked their magic on the soundboards.

Minato: You're just another pawn in my game, and I'm the god figure pouring the rain,
I'm a raw one, too much of a force to contain
And I'm forced to repay all the thoughts of the brain
By any means I ain't putting pure spits to shame
What I depict are scripts too much for the man dem
And I keep calm when more shits a spray, and when im letting off as if I had a clutch on a magnum

Killer Bee: See you making at me in the fashion, most of these mc's are straight gassin'
Yeah they getting paid on the JSA, clearly sounding like the guy Don Draper from Mad Men
Bagging up while im racking hits by the minute, I'm sick with the lyrics, so you best be backin up
Chatta with a little more flex, doesnt matta cos when I ratatat bars watch the bare man scatta

All: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum

Killer Bee: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Kazuhiko: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Yukio: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Kana: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Kuri: When I touch mic I see the men scatta

Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Byron: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Naruka: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum
Minato: When I touch mic I see the men scatta
Scatta, as if I had a clutch on a magnum

The crowd went absolutely ballistic as the group finished their song, Minato back flipping across the stage in a display of showboating. Hurricane Touchdown looked on from off stage, jaws agape.

"What the hell! We're competing with that!" said Akio with incredulity. Out in the audience the mosh pits had become so violent that those riding it were being thrown into the air and caught by the crowds beneath.

"Heh, looks like these Americans are nothing to sneeze about, right manager." calmly said Drake at their manager. She only grinned at him and responded.

"They were great!" The rest of the band face faulted at their manager's short attention span.

"Fear not, all of us have put our hearts into writing this song." said the ever calm Nore. ''We shall triumph."

"You know what? Yeah we did, and we put our heart into it. Lets rock this! Just like last year!" said Lena, bouncing back with Nore's words of wisdom.

"Yeah!" responded the whole crew.

The lights on stage dimmed for an instant as the shadowy roadies rearranged the entire set for the band to perform and brought out Ryuudo's drum set for him. The lights came back on to Hurricane touchdown standing confidently in the center of the stage. The crowd reacted as one would have expected. Meaning that the crowd nearly tore the building apart with their excitement and jubilation. "Hello Tokyo! Good to see you again!" shouted Mika to the crowds. "Lets hear it for the Americans! Now listen up, because we are about to play a brand new song for you all! It was inspired by the fact that our challengers are Americans and we even wrote it in English too! Enjoy!" the young woman shouted, sparking a massive roar from the crowd.

Nore brought his gleaming bronze trombone to his mouth and began to play a swift and steady series of scaling notes in repetition while Akio played with the plug on his guitar to make the speakers crackle and pop. Soon Ryuudo and Lena joined in and the rhythm slowly built to breaking point as the crowds excitement drew to a frenzy. Suddenly Akio plugged back in his cord and they all stopped as Mika turned around to face the crowd and let loose in her beautiful voice.

Mika: When I'm falling down
Will you pick me up again?
When I'm too far gone
Dead in the eyes of my friends
Will you take me out of here

when I'm staring down the barrel
When I'm blinded by the lights,

when I cannot see your face?

Akio: Take me out of here
Drake: Take me out of here
Lena: Take me out of here
Mika: Take me out of !

Mika and Akio: All I believe, and all I've known
Are being taken from me, can't get home

Yeah, do your worst, when worlds collide
Let their fear collapse, bring no surprise

Mika: Take me out of heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!

Drake and Akio: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Lena, Mika and Nicole: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Ryuudo: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Mika: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

The rhythm suddenly slowed down and the stage lights dimmed. Nicole turned to Ryuudo on the drums as the two shared a spotlight and the two looked deep into others eyes as they sang their slow duet.

Nicole and Ryuudo: Just stay where you are,

let your fear subside
Just stay where you are,

if there's nothing to hide

The stage lights rose back up as Nicole left a lingering hand trailing Ryuudo's scaly jawline as he beat away on the drums. Her hand fell away and she turned back towards the crowd with a wide smile.

Mika: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Ryuudo, Akio and Drake: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Mika, Nicole and Lena: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Mika and Akio: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Mika: Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me
Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

The crowd literally harmonized with itself as the roars of joy resonated with each other shaking the building. Kakashi walked out on stage to shake the hands of the members of Hurricane Touchdown as they panted with the effort they put into the song.

"What amazing performances! Both bands really played some of the most amazing music I have ever heard! But, as you all know there can be only one winner, and I think we all know who it is. The winner is..."
