The boys were hanging out with the girls, like every friday night, and were currently discussing making a song together. Ino had planned Naruto and Sakura on vocals, Sasuke on guitar, Temari on bass, Tenten on drums and Shikamaru on keys. Sasuke wasn't following the conversation and he didn't care: he was thinking about life before that fatal night, and what his mother would say to him now if she survived. He was ripped from his thoughs by a smack on his back, coming from Itachi. They all looked up surprised.
"What are you guys doing here?" Naruto exclaimed.
Hidan smiled, but didn't reply; he was silenced by one of Konan's glares. Itachi chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. He looked at the blonde before replying "We need to discuss something with you."
Kisame explained their plans.
"We were planning to set up a joint tour around the country, as a sign of appreciation to our fans. You know, SPZ and Akatsuki together on one stage..."
"It'll be booming" added Hidan.
Kakashi walked over to the group of rockers, followed by Pein.
"...Sure that it will be a huge success, Kakashi. Think about it. Akatsuki and Strike Point Zero, probably the hottetst bands on earth right now, teaming up in - Oh hey, fellas."
The musicians greeted the two managers and offered the new guests a drink. They accepted and Pein continued persuading Kakashi to join his band on the tour. Kakashi finally gave in.
"Alright, fine! You win Pein. But because I like you, YOU can set up the whole thing."
Pein sweatdropped. "Gee, thanks. Appreciate that."
"You're welcome. Anyway, what are you planning for setlists?"
"Nothing really shocking. Few of our best songs, few of yours. Maybe record a few together."
"Ummm, Pein, we ain't gonna make that. I mean we've got an album that needs finishing, and a promotion tour..."
"We'll use the tour as our promotion" Sasuke said. "That way we've got free promotion by one of the best bands in the world. Still, the tour won't take place in a few months though if we do it that way."
"So you guys are down with the idea?" Pein asked. SPZ nodded. "Awesome. Take your time finishing your record and we'll hear from you."
Sakura was tired of waiting and asked "Can we be the opening act?"
Kakashi looked at her, his eyebrow raised. Pein was at a loss of words until Kakashi made his decision.
"Sure, why not? You rock."
Smirks were exchanged throughout the group, and the three bands left for a random club to get some partying done.
Sasuke was sitting on his bed, his iPod blearing though his eardrums and a pen and notebook on his lap. He was working on a song he would sing together with Sakura the next time they'd see each other. She was really getting good at guitar playing, and was learning how to play the real difficult riffs like Slayer and Metallica. Delightful had decided that the next album would be a bit heavier, and more like metal than punk. Sakura was learning how to distort her instrument properly for a metal-ish sound at the moment, and Sasuke decided this was the perfect occasion for a new song. Of course, it was the old Sasuke-style. He wrote down to more lines and re-read his text up until now:
All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable feautres
Temptation
And trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
And you can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it
You've got to make me an offer
that can not be ingored
So let's head for home now
everything I'll have is yours
Leave no trace
Guard your face
Chorus
He was quite proud of it, like he was always. He turned on his laptop and typed the lines into a word document before saving it and picking up his guitar, creating a new guitar riff for the song. He was in the middle of it when Naruto barged in.
"Yo, teme! What you up to?"
"Hn."
"That's no answer. C'mon, spill it."
"Fine. I'm working on a song."
"There's no more room on the album, you know that right?" Naruto asked. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Of course I know, dobe. It's a song I'm writing for myself and Sakura."
"I see. So when's it gonna be done?"
"Never if you keep bugging me like this" Sasuke said pushing a struggling Naruto out of the door.
"C'mon man. Lemme help!" Naruto begged. Sasuke sighed.
"Why are you my best friend...fine."
"Whoohoo!"
Naruto skipped in and plugged in his guitar. He finetuned it and played a random riff before asking "So, whaddya want me to do?"
"Just shut up and listen."
Naruto huffed, but kept his mouth shut nonetheless. Sasuke played his song, failing again at screaming. Naruto laughed out loud.
"Dude, why do you even bother trying? You. Can't. Scream. Want me to spell it our for you?"
Sasuke shot him a glare, and Naruto shut up immediately. Sasuke finished the riff and looked back at Naruto.
"Hey, dobe. There's not much you're good at, but you can scream. Think you can teach me?"
The stadium was packed. It still amazed the raven-haired boy. He watched his girlfriend rock out on 'Pressure', and smirked. She was even more beautiful on stage. He overheard Delightful play an encore before making their leave. Sasuke picked up his guitar and walked to the stage, quickly kissing Sakura in the process.
He smirked to his brother, who smirked back. They both started hammering the chords for 'Stricken' simultaneously, Naruto grabbing the mic and singing the lyrics. Hidan came onstage too, backing up the blonde vocalist. Kisame banged the drums, and Kiba was casually playing his bass.
The group hit the last notes and Sasuke took the opportunity to get some promotion done. Everything was according to plan.
"Allright everyone, you having a good time?"
The crowd cheered.
"Good. Then allow me to introduce to you a brand new song, coming from the new SPZ album 'Dead Memories': this is 'Tears Don't Fall'."
[A/N Bold is Sasuke, Italic is Naruto, blah blah. Sasuke doesn't do the vocals on the album version.]
Let's Go!
With bloodshot eyes, I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame
Sasuke surprised everyone by suddenly using the scraming technique.
There's always something different going wrong!
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better!!Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall and crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
The moments die, I hear no screaming
The cisions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name
Would she hold me, if she knew my shameYour tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall and crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
There's always something different going wrong!
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better!!
Oh!
Yeah!!
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I'm choking
Will this ever end I'm hoping
My world is over one more time!
Lets go!
Naruto suddenly surprised friend and foe by playing the solo. Itachi looked at him with a look that said 'When did he learn that?' and Sasuke shrugged. Naruto just smirked. What? Sasuke took his job, now he can take his. He continued shredding the solo and fell into the rhythmic riff soon after.
Would she hear me if i called her name
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame
There's always something to be going wrong
The path I walk's in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make it better
Your tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall tears don't fall
They crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come
Better!
Your tears dont fall they crash around me
Her conscience calls the guilty to come home.
The crowd went crazy. SPZ had released another album! Akatsuki smirked and started jamming a medley of their first album, 'Daybreaker', with crowd favorites as 'In Your Face' and 'Kirisute Gomen'. SPZ soon fell in sync with the older band, making the audience go wild. The two Uchiha boys smirked. They were far from done yet.
A/N Concert! I love doing those. Naruto can shred too! That kid really is full of surprises. Next up: last gig and afterparty!
Rock on! -air guitar riff- xD (I'm weird, I know)
