Chapter 26

It was finally Friday, the day of the Spring Break Tribute Show. Gaara and the others were back stage getting their equipment ready. They saw Sasuke in an arm cast with his band.

"Wow!" Kiba said. "He got out of the hospital early."

"Darn it!" Naruto said. "I wished he would be in there for a month."

"We all did." Gaara said holding his Ibanez.

"Hey, guys." A familiar voice said.

They turned and saw Shino with a Fender Telecaster that looked like it was covered in bugs standing with Kankuro and an older guy with a Fender Strat bass with waves on it.

"Hey, little bro." Kankuro said.

"Hey, Kankuro." Gaara replied.

"Who are you?" They older kid asked.

"I'm Gaara, Kankuro's brother. You must be Haku." Gaara said.

"Yes," Haku replied. "We're the first band up so you guys enjoy the show."

"We will, Haku." Naruto said.

They walked off towards their stuff.

"Hey, Gaara." Naruto said. "Sakura was wondering why you're not playing your Paul Reid Smith."

"I don't want anyone to know I have it." He replied. "It decreases the chance of it getting stolen."

"Oh"

-

They noticed Tsunade walk on the stage.

"Welcome student and faculty." She started. "Welcome to another Spring Break Tribute concert." Everyone cheered. "Now to introduce the first tribute song. Here they are… Spider Puppets redoing Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana!"

Haku, Shino and Kankuro walked on stage. Haku went to his mic and stand, Shino went to the other mic and stand, and Kankuro went to the 7 piece drum set. Shino started playing the intro. Then the others started playing. Haku went right back to his mic and stand.

Load up on guns, bring your friends
its fun to lose and to pretend
She's overboard and self-assured
Oh, no, I know a dirty word

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low
Hello, Hello, Hello

With the lights, out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah

Hey...Yay

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group (tribe) has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low
Hello, Hello, Hello

With the lights out it's less dangerous

A mulatto

Shino start playing the solo.

And I forget just why I taste
Oh, yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low

Everyone in the stands cheered. Tsunade walked back on stage.

"That was awesome!" She started. "But why did you guys redo that song."

Shino walked to the mic in front of him. "Well, we were inspired by Nirvana and I learned guitar listen to their Nevermind Album."

"Well that was good to know." She replied. "Now give us a minute for the next band to get ready."

-

Gaara saw everyone the girls with their equipment getting ready.

"You guys are next?" He asked.

"Yes," Sakura said. "We're excited too."

"I'm excited for you guys." He said.

"G-Gaara?" Hinata asked. "D-do you have any p-plans for spring break?"

"No," He started. "I highly doubt Temari and Kankuro's dad would want to see me, and Naruto was going to have me spend it with him and Tsunade, but he said never mind because he said you don't want to be near Tsunade on spring break."

"H-h-how would like to b-b-be go with m-me to meet m-m-my family for it?" She asked. "D-d-dad said it was a g-g-good idea. I told him a-a-about you."

"Wait! Your dad?! Did you tell him I'm an ex-killer?"

"N-n-no, it's n-n-not important."

"… I would like to meet the rest of you're family."

"Th-thank you! I promise y-you won't be disappointed."

"Okay."

They noticed Tsunade walk back on stage.

"Alright everyone," She started. "Time to introduce the next band. This band is an inspiration to all girls. Here they are… Sunshine Fan doing Barracuda from Heart!!"

Everyone cheered as Temari and the other girls went on stage and started playing the song. Temari started to sing.

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time we were all trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong you're selling a Song - a name
Whisper game

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn into the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep now save my head
You... I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools -silly fools

If the real thing don't do the trick No!
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn into the whack
Barra-Barracuda

The crowd started to cheer. Tsunade walked back on stage.

"You girls are really something else." She said. "But why a song from Heart?"

"Heart was a good inspiration for other women." Temari started. "And we wanted to remind everyone how amazing they really were."

"That's so true." She started. "Hang tight everyone, last years winners will be up next."

-

Gaara saw Sasuke and his friends walking towards the stage. All their equipment was black. Zaku had a Gibson Flying V, Kabuto had a Gibson Les Paul, and Kin had a Jackson bass.

"We'll save it for the stage." Said Sasuke in his arm cast.

"Agreed." Gaara said.

-

Tsunade walked back on stage.

"The next band won last years Battle of The Band." She started. "I'm proud to introduce… Sasuke and The Sound Nins doing their version of You Give Love A Bad Name from Bon Jovi!"

Everyone cheered as they walked on stage. Zaku and Sasuke went to their mic and stands.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love, a bad name

Zaku stopped singing.

FUCK YOU!

Everyone started to play.

An angel's smile is what you sell
Promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
Passion's a prison, you can't break free

Sasuke stopped screaming as Zaku went back to his mic.

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
Yeah, whoa...
There's nowhere to run

Sasuke started screaming again.


No one can save you
The damage is done

Zaku started singing when Sasuke stopped screaming.

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part when you play your games
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

Zaku stopped singing as Sasuke started screaming again.

You paint that smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream; you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Zaku started singing again.

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
Whoa...
There's nowhere to run

Sasuke got back to screaming.


No one can save me
The damage is done

Zaku Started singing again

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part when you play your games
You give love a bad name
You give love...

Zaku started the solo. He finished the solo and got back to singing.


Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darlin' You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your games
You give love a bad name

Sasuke screamed the last part.

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part when you play your games
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

They stopped playing. Everyone went crazy. Tsunade walked next to Zaku.

"You guys did it again!" She said. "Why a song from Bon Jovi anyways."

"We'll most of us were inspired by them to start our own band." Zaku replied.

"Interesting," She replied. "Hold tight everyone we have 2 bands left."

-

Gaara and the others were getting ready.

"So you're going to spend Spring Break with Hinata." Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah," He replied. "You going with Temari?"

"Yeah," Shikamaru pulled out his pony tail. His hair went down the sides of his face.

"Whoa!!" Kiba said.

"Don't be so surprised." Shikamaru told them. "Temari likes it up, but just this once I want to have it down."

-

Tsunade went to the middle of the stage again.

"Everyone," She started. "I hate to inform you that NKL has broken up, But Uzumaki Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba are back with Nara Shikamaru and Sabaku no Gaara. Here they are Leaves in the Sand doing Who Wants To Live Forever from Queen!"

Everyone cheered as Gaara and the other went to their respective spots. Gaara started to sing and play guitar.

There's no time for us.
There's no place for us.
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us?

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ooh.

There's no chance for us.
It's all decided for us.
This world has only one sweet melody,
Set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ooh.

Who dares to love forever?
Oh, when love must die?

Kiba started doing the solo.

Then touch my tears with your lips.
Touch my world with your fingertips.

And we can have forever!
And we can love forever!
Forever is our today.

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today.

Who waits forever anyway?

Everyone cheered louder than they did for Sasuke's band. Tsunade walked up to Gaara.

"Freddy Mercury would be proud." She said.

"Thank you." He replied.

"Why that song anyways?" She asked.

"Well, It's my girlfriend's favorite song and Queen's music is something everyone can enjoy."

"Good answer, the biggest band will be coming up soon." She said as Gaara and the other's left the stage.

-

Hinata ran and kissed Gaara after they left the stage. They separated.

"Are you going to kiss me after every song I sing?" He asked.

"N-n-no, I'm just really h-h-happy that you did m-m-my favorite song." She told him. They started to kiss again.

-

Tsunade went on stage to introduce the last band.

"First I would like to thank you all for being here." She started. "Now it is time for the last band. They are the school's official band. Here they are… Jounin redoing We Are The Champions from Queen."

Everyone cheered as Iruka, with an Ibanez S Bass, Kakashi, With a white Paul Reid Smith with birds on the neck, Anko, with a Shecter classic with a vine on the neck, Gai walking to his drums set that everyone used, and a girl that Gaara found out was Kurenai walked to their places. She started to sing.

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've bought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And I need to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

We are the champions - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Everyone cheered when they finished. Tsunade went to back on stage for the last time.

"Amazing! You guys are always amazing." She said.

"Thank you." Said Kurenai. "Just like Gaara said, Queen's music is something everyone can enjoy."

"Exactly!" Tsunade said. "I hope everyone enjoyed this year's show. Now go pack some of your thing if you're leaving for spring break. Have a good week off everyone!"

Everyone started to leave the auditorium.

-

Gaara finish packing and grabbed his Paul Reid Smith that was in its case.

'Spring Break with Hinata. I'm so excited!' He thought leaving his room with some of his things and his key. He locked the door and the way out.

-

He met Hinata in at the school gates.

"Hey Hinata, When will you're dad be here?" He asked her.

"He'll be h-h-h-here in a few m-m-minutes." She replied. "Which guitar are y-y-you bringing."

"My Paul Reid Smith. I didn't play it at the concert, so I'll practice with it so you can see it."

"T-t-thank you again, f-f-for the song."

"Hey, I enjoyed playing it."

They started to kiss.

Author's Note: This chapter took forever to write. I had Sasuke and the Sound Nins do you give love a bad name because it was redone by Atreyu, and Leaves in the Sand redid Who Wants to Live Forever because Breaking Benjamin redid for a tribute album and both redone songs are awesome. What will Hinata's dad think of Gaara? Who else will Gaara meet? Find out in the next chapter.
