Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or the song Wind the song Time Of Your Life...also I don't own the song 'Runaway Love' I just borrowed the idea...


Life's Little Deceptions

Naruto fumed silently, Kiba had no right saying that...sure he said some bad things...but still, at least he didn't reveal anything THAT important in front of Sasuke and Hinata, but Kiba, he had to go and say that he got beat by Ayumi's boyfriends. Now, they would probably question him like crazy...

Shaking the thoughts from his head he started to hum. But stopped abruptly as he heard a gentle strumming coming from the door beside his room. Curiously he walked towards the cracked door and looked in. Sitting in the middle of the bed holding a black acoustic guitar with the kanji for blood on the front side, was Sasuke, eyes closed and concentrating slightly. Hitting a sour chord and abruptly stopping, "Okay Naruto, you can come out now, I know your there."

Scratching the back of his head and walking in Naruto replied sheepishly, "Eh..sorry bout that, but please, don't stop on my account."

"Who said I stopped because you came in here? I hit a bad chord."

"What ever bastard. So..who taught you to play?"

Sasuke looked at his guitar, "My brother."

"I didn't know you had a brother. Where is he?"

"Dead."

Naruto's eyes widened, "Dead? What happened to him?"

Sasuke's eyes became cold, "None of your goddamn business dobe."

"Geez, I was only asking teme, I didn't mean for you to get so touchy."

"Well stop sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong."

Naruto held up his hands in an I surrender motion, dropping the slightly worn out orange spiral bound notebook.

Sasuke's eyes followed it to where it lie on the bed, and picked it up.

"What's this?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke then made a motion to grab it, Teme...give it back ." he whined.

"No..I think I'll read it first." Opening the cover to find a chibi fox on the inside cover.

"Nice fox." He commented

"Heh." Naruto blushed.

Flipping through the notebook, there were vast numbers of lyrics and guitar chords listed beside the lines.

"Never would have expected you to be the type of person to put music with lyrics."

"Well, there's a lot of stuff you don't know about me." (1)

Sasuke looked up contemplating for a moment, then looked back at the notebook. "Hn."

Naruto looked away and blushed at what he had implied.

"Hey dobe?"

Naruto looked up into Sasuke's eyes, "Yeah?"

"Where did you learn to write lyrics, and the music to them?"

"Uh..." He looked away, "Well when I was younger, I heard that my dad used to write lyrics and stuff, so I guess I just kind of picked it up."

Sasuke 'hmed' and looked back down at the notebook, flipping through the pages, then stopped as he read through the lyrics,

'Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.I hope you had the time of your life'

"Dobe?"

"Yea?"

Sasuke looked up from the lyrics to meet Naruto's eyes, "What song is this?"

Naruto leaned over to see the words, "Oh that? Its just a song that I remember from my time at the orphanage..." His eyes widened as he realized what he said.

"Orphanage?"

"U-uh n-nothing. Slip up of the tongue, but its called 'Time of Your Life.' Well, it was nice talkin' to ya, but I need to go get ready for tonight, Bye!" He said and quickly grabbed the notebook and ran to his room, not seen for the rest of the day.


Later that night Hinata, Sasuke, and Kiba walked to the little club.

"Is this the place?" Sasuke asked.

Kiba nodded and walked over to the table closest to the stage.

"When is Naruto-kun on?" Hinata asked Kiba, looking around the club.

"Um..." he said looking at his watch, "In about five minutes."

"Can I help you?" Asked a blond waitress.

"Sure Ino, I need one coke," He looked at Sasuke and Hinata.

"Water." Hinata said.

"Dr. Pepper." Sasuke said with a shrug.

"Alright, your drinks will be out in a minute, what about Naruto?"

"The usual."

Ino smiled, "Of course, only he would be able to down one of those." She shook her head, "Can I sit with you when he performs?"

"Sure. Naruto will be glad to see you."

"Okay." She left them, to get their drinks.

About three minutes later, Ino returned with five drinks, a Dr. Pepper, Coke, Water, Tea, and a Root Beer Float...

"Well," She said sitting beside Kiba, leaving the seat beside Sasuke open, "Naruto should be on in about two minutes."

"Yep." Kiba nodded.

"So Kiba..." She trailed off looking at his friends, "Who are these two? Friends from school?"

He shook his head, "Nope, don't go there anymore. We quit."

"Why?" She asked wide eyed.

He shrugged, "Ran away...pressure was too much, ran into these two, and they allowed is to stay at their house. Now Naruto is trying to get up enough money to leave, since he doesn't want to burden them anymore."

"What do you two plan to do when you do leave?"

Kiba looked directly into Ino's eyes, "We're gonna find Naruto's father..."

"He's still alive? I thought Naruto was an..." The look in Kiba's eyes told her to shut up.

"I see." She said. "So.." she said directing her gaze towards the other two, "What are your names?"

"Hinata." She stuttered a bit under Ino's gaze.

"Sasuke." He said as if he didn't want to be there.

"Mmhm...So I guess Hinata is your girlfriend, and Sasuke is Naruto's sexy seme?"

Hinata and Kiba blushed, and Sasuke looked a bit pleased with her comment.

"N-no!" Kiba stuttered. "Just friends."

"Uh huh...Well I guess I could say that about you and Hinata...but I wonder why Naruto hasn't went into full out Uke mode? I mean with a body like Sasuke's I would be all over him if I didn't have Shikamaru..of course."

Ino's eyes went wide as she imagined all the different positions that Sasuke would have Naruto in.

"Um...Ino...are you okay? Naruto is bout to come on stage..."

She seemed to snap out of it, and look up at the stage as the announcer came on.

"Welcome to Karaoke Night! Please give a special round of applause for our regular performer Uzumaki Naruto!

Then everyone's breath caught in their throats as he walked out on the stage...in all white.White jeans, and a white flowy shirt.

"Hey everyone...how you guys doin? Sorry bout' the absence, but I was really busy. So...I have a new song for you guys. I call this one Wind.

A steady piano beat filled the roomThen switched to a faster beat a mixture of piano and wind instrument(2)

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.

Motivate your anger to make them all realize.

Climbing the mountain, never coming down.

Break into the contents, never falling down.

My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,

Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.

A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.

Waiting is wasting for people like me.

Don't try to live so wise.

Don't cry 'cause you're so right.

Don't dry with fakes or fears,

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Don't try to live so wise.

Don't cry 'cause you're so right.

Don't dry with fakes or fears,

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

You say, "Dreams are dreams.

"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."

You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."

Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.

Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.

Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.

He stopped singing, allowing the music to play, a violin and piano. Then a guitar and orchestra and he started singing again.

You still are blind, if you see a winding road,

'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.

Don't try to live so wise.

Don't cry 'cause you're so right.

Don't dry with fakes or fears,

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

A violin and guitar, marking the haunting melody which had everyone hypnotized. Suddenly it stopped, an acoustic guitar playing, serving as the only music.

Don't try to live so wise.

Don't cry 'cause you're so right.

Don't dry with fakes or fears,

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

The piano came back in, as he repeated the chorus.

Don't try to live so wise.

Don't cry 'cause you're so right.

Don't dry with fakes or fears,

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Cause you will hate your self in the end.

His voice rung out over the audience as the music slowly died down

Cause you will hate your self in the end.

Cause you will hate your self in the end.

Cause you will hate your self in the end.

Then the music stopped, and he sung the last line slowly, making it echo over the audience.

Cause you will hate your self in the end.

Everyone clapped, some had tears on their eyes, some looking impassive, trying to hold them back.

"Thank you everyone!" he said and walked off the stage and towards the table where his friends sat.

"That was great Naruto-kun." Hinata congratulated him.

"Great job Naruto. That was an awesome song." Ino said wiping a tear from her eye and pushing his Root Beer Float towards him.

"Thanks Ino, Hinata." he said slurping on his straw.

"Che, could have been better." Sasuke said.

Naruto stopped slurping his drink and glared at Sasuke, "Stupid Teme..."

Then he looked over to Kiba, who was turning the straw in his drink.

Sensing that Naruto was looking at him he sighed, "Look Naruto..."

The blond held up a hand, "No need Kiba, I understand, it was my fault too...So what do you say...friends?"

Kiba grinned and grabbed Naruto's hand, "Friends...chicken shit..."

Naruto smirked back, "Nice to know dog shit..."

"Well! It seems as if you've made up, so my works done here, and I need to get back on my shift..so I'll see you two later."

"Alright Ino, tell Shika I said hey..and to come by here sometime..I wanna see him." Naruto said getting up to hug Ino.

She smiled at him, "Naruto, I'm telling you...you can't have his phone number...I know you had a crush on him, but still, he's my boyfriend...and...and I think he's gonna propose to me soon."

"Alright, I won't try to steal him from you...since you two may get married, but tell him..if you ever break up..you know who to come to."

"NARUTO!" She smacked him in the back of the head.

"Sorry! I was kidding, but seriously, tell him I said hey."

"Alright, well, it was nice meeting you Hinata, Sasuke..and remember Sasuke, just call me if you need to know anything about Naruto, like his 'special spots'...he has seven total...and also if you need to know how to get him horny...oh yea..I know that...its not that hard to do though, all you have to do is..."

"INO! Don't you have work to do?"

"Oh yeah, well bye guys...remember Sasuke..."

Sasuke smirked, "I'll take you up on that offer Ino...don't worry."

Naruto gaped at Ino..then at Sasuke. "Is everyone after me??"

Ino laughed, "Well Naruto, you do look like a girl, remember the eighth grade?"

"Eighth grade?" Sasuke asked curiously.

She smiled, "Well Sasuke-kun, that is a story for another time. Ja!"

"Well," Hinata said, "I think its time for us to go home now. Seeing as Naruto is about to die from embarrassment. Sasuke, would you do the honors?"

He nodded, and walked over to Naruto, picking him up bridal style, and carrying him out the door, Hinata laughing beside him.

As Kiba walked out the door, he saw a pair of blue eyes, like Naruto's and a flash of blue hair walk into the back.

'Could that be...'
