Note: Are my chapters too long? Someone please tell me! "Dangerous siblings" are like pretty much siblings in love, in a romantic-type way, I guess. Do you guys like this story? By the way, Sakura and Sasuke are not blood-related siblings!
Last chapter:
"When I came that day, that's what I wanted to ask you. But everything was ruined by your horrible brother. In the end, I said a bunch of things I shouldn't have said. And I was really mean. That's why I'm so disappointed I myself. I'm sorry, Sakura," Neji apologized.
Sakura took a breath, "I'm the one who should be apologizing, so why are you?"
Side by side, they began to walk home.
"There's a wonderful happiness inside my heart," Sakura thought happily.
"Zaku, adjust the mic, and test the sound to see if it's working properly, will ya?" Sasuke said professionally as they prepared the stage for the concert that would take place shortly.
Zaku nodded as he began to play with the microphone in his hands, tapping it here and there.
"Hm. Make the light brighter over there," Sasuke pointed to an area, instructing a worker, "Move it to the middle and make it brighter. Yeah, that's good."
Zaku caught two beers in his hand.
"Sasuke," he held out a beer.
"Not now," Sasuke responded, the unusual reply.
"Alright," Zaku said.
Zaku ran up to the set-up stage and handed Naruto the other beer, about to walk away when Naruto pulled him back.
"I've never seen Sasuke so serious before," Naruto whispered.
"It's because he's friends with the band. Due to their lack of funds, he even let them use the stage for practice. He coolly said, 'If we don't use it now, when will we ever use it?'" Zaku responded.
"That's awesome!" Naruto said.
"That's Sasuke," Zaku replied.
"Aside from that, there must be something we don't know. Don't you think…he's a bit too into the work?" Naruto prompted.
"Test the lights again for more problems," Sasuke instructed to some workers.
Naruto and Zaku watched Sasuke check and test practically everything in the room.
"Like a naught schoolboy rushing home to docilely do his homework?" Zaku asked, "Come on, when has Sasuke ever made a mistake?"
Naruto agreed and Zaku nodded, and walked off the stage.
Sasuke plopped down on one of the club lounge's chairs. He remembered the way Sakura had looked at him after the kiss, so hurt and angry.
Sakura sat staring out of the window in her room, sighing dreamily.
"Will you go to a concert with me?"
Neji's voice echoed through her head, as she excitedly got up to get ready for the concert.
"If you look at my life, the worst, worst, most awful, lousy, and lousiest thing that ever happened to me was being kissed by Sasuke Uchiha. Absolutely the worst, worst, worst thing ever!" she thought.
"But…today I'm going out with Neji Hyuuga. Please let it be the best," she prayed.
"Sakura," she told herself, "be on your best behavior! Don't make a fool out of yourself!"
"But…" she said out loud, "I'm really…really…nervous!!!"
Neji sat on the park bench, holding the concert tickets in his hands, smiling. He looked up and saw Sasuke, and his smile faded. Sasuke saw Neji and stopped. Neji looked away. Then, Sasuke heard a bird's chirping from not too far away.
Sasuke saw the bird sitting on a box. His eyes widened and instantly began to run, past Neji, towards the bird.
Once Sasuke grabbed the bird and pushed the box away, Neji realized what Sasuke was doing.
The box exploded in the air and Neji ran over to Sasuke.
"How is it?" Neji asked worriedly.
"A brat must've done it," Sasuke said angrily.
Neji pointed to Sasuke's burnt and blistered hand, "But you're injured."
"Doesn't matter," Sasuke said, as he held his other hand out, releasing the unharmed bird.
Sasuke watched it fly away and smiled. Neji turned and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke realized that he had just smiled and immediately erased it from his face.
"Why are you here?" Sasuke demanded.
"I'm here for the concert," Neji said slowly.
"Never thought a good boy athlete like you would be interested in a heavy metal rock concert," Sasuke responded.
"And I never thought, after what you did with Sakura, you wouldn't feel sorry at all. Especially about Sakura, she's your sister," Neji commented dryly.
"That's right, that's right. And I must tell you, no matter who she is, I'd do the same thing again," Sasuke said, "And…whoever she chooses, I'll change the decision. She's mine."
"How strange. After hearing those words, I feel better," Neji said.
"Really?" Sasuke asked.
"It could be because I'm the basketball captain. No matter who's on the basketball court, an opponent or friend, I only know I want to get the ball and score points," Neji said, comparing the situations.
"Don't forget, I know how to play, too," Sasuke smirked.
Suddenly, his expression turned serious and he started to sprint. Neji looked to where he was headed and saw Sasuke running after a young boy holding the already exploded box.
Sasuke grabbed the boy's arm and spun him around.
"If you ever do this kind of thing to a bird again, I'll get a big firecracker and blow you up!" Sasuke demanded, obviously angry that someone would intentionally do something to hurt an innocent creature.
Sakura walked up to Neji, only hearing Sasuke's last echoing words.
"Do you understand me, kid?!" Sasuke shouted.
Sasuke grabbed the box, and said, "Go!"
The kid obediently ran away. He turned around and saw Sakura. She ran up to Sasuke.
"How can you be so cruel? Bullying a kid?!" Sakura lectured angrily, "Your mom never taught you how to behave?"
Sasuke's eyes hardened, "You understand me so well. I'm so bad, even she gave up on me."
"I don't understand at all!" Sakura retorted sharply, "I don't understand someone who is so proud of doing something bad. How to handle your type? Treat you like garbage!"
Neji walked up to Sakura.
"Sakura, don't say anymore," Neji said.
Sasuke glanced at Neji, then back at Sakura. He reached out and pulled the pretty green scarf off of Sakura's neck.
"Don't touch me," Sakura said, angry at Sasuke.
Sasuke walked up to Neji, scarf in one hand, box in the other.
"Sakura dressed up especially for you because of this date. I'm kind of jealous," Sasuke smirked and looked at Sakura, "However, I'll take this scarf to deduct points."
Turning away, he said, "Sakura looks so cute."
He smirked. Sakura angrily turned her head to look at Sasuke, who was walking away.
"Enjoy the concert," Sasuke held up the scarf, "Don't forget. I ruined your date."
Neji angrily stared down at the ground in front of him. Sakura glanced at her date worriedly.
