Choji's Story
Hebi took the stage. Sasuke looked out at the audience that had gathered for the concert and began to strum his electric guitar. Then he opened his mouth and sang the vocals to their hit rock song.
The Fire Burns in the Night
The Flames Dance Around
I try to Call Your Name
But I Can't Make a Sound
The Pain Wells up in my Heart
Fear Lingers in my Soul
My Memories of You and Me
Are Slipping Through the Hole
Jugo sat and played his keyboard with great skill. Suigetsu was on Bass, and though he was having fun, he was looking forward to his turn to sing. Sasuke's mouth stopped moving, and Jugo took the spotlight. Suigetsu waited patiently, his turn was next.
My Empty Diary
Blank Page After Page
The Words I Can't Write or Say
Begin to Decay with Age
Karin rocked out on the drums, but her turn to sing was coming soon. Not yet though. Suigetsu's rap began.
I Want to Run Out Toward You
And Just Take Your Hand
I Want to Run Forever With you
To Another Land
The Chaos That Surrounds Us
Makes me Want to Cry
If They Don't Fix the World I Think I'd Rather Die
The rap was where the message of the song began to come to light. In times of darkness, we look for those who will help us make it through. This was exactly what Hinata wanted, that 's why she loved this song so much. That's why she was in the front row, watching. She wore a disguise of course, so nobody recognized her, except for Sasuke. Suigetsu's rap ended, so Sasuke and Jugo sang together.
No Matter the Darkness
You Are the Light
Pierce the Illusion
Of the Hopeless Night
With Your Smile
You Summon the Dawn
And Give me the Strength
To Carry On
Karin's lines came next.
Resisting Emo Urges
I Stifle the Tears of Another Lonely Day
Falling Into Shadows
I Begin to Lose my Way
Hinata felt like that. Even with everyone around her, Naruto was in love with another. The shadows in her heart were growing. And she was beginning to feel emoer than Sasuke.
Suigetsu got to sing again, though it wasn't a rap this time; it was a hook.
Lonely Nights Pass by Over and Over
Over and Over Again
Lonely Nights Pass by Over and Over
Over and Over Again
Lonely Nights Pass by Over and Over
Over and Over Again
Lonely Nights Pass by Over and Over
Over and Over and Over
Over Again
Then Sasuke and Jugo sang again. The pounding rock beats were exciting, and far from soothing. But they seemed to envelop Hinata like a warm hug. It was as if the sound of Sasuke's band was able to drown out the cries of her heart, even if only for a little while.
No Matter the Darkness
You Are the Light
Pierce the Illusion
Of the Hopeless Night
With Your Smile
You Summon the Dawn
And Give me the Strength
To Carry On
The song continued and Hinata listened, reflecting on how Naruto had always been there for her in their youth. She had even written a song about it. As Hebi's song played in real life, her own song began in the playlist of her heart.
Heartlight
Here in the Darkness
The Wind Howls so Loud
My Voice is Drowned Out
Lost Amidst the Noise of the Crowd
The Sun's Already Set
But I Don't Really Care
It was Cloudy Anyway
You Could Barely tell the Sun was There
The Stars Have all Faded
Like Sand Slipping Through Time
Trying my Best to go Anywhere
I Hear the Bell Chime
It's a New Moon Midnight
No Glowing Circle in the Sky
All the Light is Gone
But I'll Never Cry
And You're Why
…………………
Guided by the Light of Your Heart
I'll Make it Through
When You're by my Side
There's Nothing More True
No Matter What the World Tries to do
It will all be Okay
Only the Skies are Blue
As Long as I Have You
……….
Day Dreams and Smiles Gone
My Hope Began to Fade Away
The Earth Spirals out of Control
Nothing Seems to go my Way
But it's Okay
The Second Hand Marches Forth
With the Other two in Tow
I Try to Run Forward
But the Wall Won't Let me Go
But I Know
………..
It Doesn't Matter What Happens
As Long as You and I are Still Good Friends
I'll Travel Down this Road
There are no Dead Ends
Only Twists and Bends
……..
Guided by the Light of Your Heart
I'll Make it Through
When You're by my Side
There's Nothing More True
No Matter What the World Tries to do
It will all be Okay
Only the Skies are Blue
As Long as I Have You
……
I Don't Need the Sunlight
I Don't Need the Moonlight
I Don't Need the Starlight
Everything is All Right
As Long as I Have Your Heartlight
………………
Let the Years Roll by
Let Them all Laugh at Me
I'm Laughing Back at Them
'Cause I Know One Day They'll see
The Trials I Face Now
Are Really Nothing at All
Let the Obstacles Come
One by One They'll all Fall
Fall
………….
Guided by the Light of Your Heart
I'll Make it Through
When You're by my Side
There's Nothing More True
No Matter What the World Tries to do
It will all be Okay
Only the Skies are Blue
As Long as I Have You
…………………..
It was a cheery song about how our friends help us make it through the most challenging of times.
The songs continued and Hinata enjoyed each one. But the concert had to end eventually. That's when he stepped off stage and smiled at her. "If you were going to come you should have told me, i could have gotten you backstage."
"That's okay," said Hinata. "I just wanyted some advice from you." She said softly.
"Something the matter?" Sasuke asked.
"Its about Naruto."

The next chapter will be a bonus chapter with the full version of Heartlight, if I can find it.
