Okay so... This is nearing the Talent show that took how many chapters to get to? Under request I was asked to do Beautiful by Christina Aguilera. I have never really done a Song inside a fanfic so it won't obviously be great. However I might change the second song.

"Do you really think it was alright to leave Akuma in the apartment all alone for the week?" Itachi asked Kyuubi, who sighed. "You told me that it might be better to do that." He shook his head "No I said… it might be better to let her be for a bit, not leave her all alone."
"Maybe she does need the room from us though Itachi. She is always around us three boys… Hinata rarely is around… Don't you think that she would get bored of seeing us every day?" Kyuubi said.
"I think I understand where Kyuubi is coming from. But even I don't like the idea of leaving Akuma all alone… she JUST got out of the hospital…" I trailed off.
"Sasuke." I looked over to Itachi. "The only reason you are more worried about Akuma than Kyuubi is because of your feelings towards her." I nodded slowly. "What I'm concerned about was her sudden change of mood." Kyuubi said, pulling up the pillow he had in his hands, closer to his chest.
"She was all happy and cheery and glad to see she had visitors… then the next day she tells me that I can stay with you two in your parent's room. Then whenever we would visit her she'd stay silent then go fall off to sleep."
"Kyuubi is right… that sudden change of mood is odd." I nodded with Itachi. "But… obviously with her being so quiet she won't tell us what happened either." I nodded again.
"Maybe something was said to her and it has her thinking?" I suggested making the two look at each other. "If it was something mean said to her she probably would go very silent… but if it was some form of motivation she'd have a determined look…" Kyuubi said.
"I guess… all we really can do is wait." I said, not even liking my own words. "Yeah… that is all we can do…"
†Break†
"Even though we weren't picked to do the talent show like Tsunade wanted us to be… maybe we can still go and watch?" Itachi said, sitting down at the table with a platter and a drink. "I can't go… I have to do things tonight." Hinata said sadly.
"I had asked Akuma and she shook her head… so it would only be us three to go." I nodded to Itachi who sighed. "Well I don't know about you two but… I need a break from visiting the hospital every day."
"Yeah… it's nice to know that those two are making a recovery but… you are right about needing a break."
I nodded in agreement. "So tonight… we go to the Talent show then?" Itachi asked, receiving a nod from both Kyuubi and myself. "Good… I was going to drag you two if you said no."
"HEY!" I shook my head as the two began to fight again. I looked over to see Hinata getting up from her seat. "I have to go guys, or I will be late. Thank you for letting me come with you to the mall." We nodded to Hinata as she took off.
"We should probably finish spending our time here then head back to the compound and shower and change to go to the Talent show."
"Yeah... I feel slimy from running here." Kyuubi said, pulling at his shirt. "For one… I told you not to run here. Not just that but… if you took a shower more often MAYBE you wouldn't feel that way." I groaned as the two started to butt heads again.
I got up from the table then threw out my trash. "Maybe we should leave now then if you ever want to make it to the talent show then." I said, instantly breaking them up from their small fight.
†Break†
I sighed as I took my seat in the front of the auditorium. "Why did we have to sit in the front?" I asked, annoyance in my voice. "Kyuubi is blind and there are fangirls in the back." Itachi simply stated, pushing me to move down more before he sat down.
"It doesn't matter where we sit though… the damn girls will move up here and try to talk to us the entire time." I growled out.
"Just shut up and take the leisure from not going to the hospital today." Itachi said, glaring at me. I huffed then crossed my arms in annoyance.
I knew I had agreed to come here out of my own free will; but in reality I wanted to see Akuma before we had come to here. Kyuubi had stated bluntly that it was best to leave her alone since she already stated she didn't want to go, that if we went there she would think we were trying to force her.
I sighed, letting the worry take over me. I was scared for her wellbeing. She was left all alone in an apartment to feed herself. My thoughts instantly flashed back to when Akuma didn't eat all that much and would sleep more often. I shook my head then stared up at the closed curtains on the stage.
'I can't worry about Akuma… I'm supposed to be relaxing…'
I lifted up my feet and set them onto the bars in front of the first row, just like Kyuubi and Itachi had. "So when does this start?" I asked, trying to get my mind off Akuma.
"Soon…" Itachi said, staring down the curtains, as if he was trying to set them on fire with his eyes.
"Alright everyone… settle down." I looked to the side to see Tsunade on the stage trying to get everyone to quiet down. "EVERYONE SHUT YOUR MOUTHS." Instantly everyone in the audience went silent. "Good… now we will be beginning the talent show. First up is Kiba and Akamaru." She nodded to the curtains, which opened up to show Kiba and Akamaru.
I rolled my eyes as Kiba showed off his tricks with Akamaru, getting a lot of girls to go "AW!" 'This… is a talent show?' I thought groaning mentally.
After Kiba was done, both him and his mutt did a bow before the curtains closed. "Next is Sakura and Ino!" Tsunade said, not getting up from her seat.
The curtains opened up to Sakura and Ino in cheerleading outfits. They began shouting a cheerleading routine before they started singing. I cringed at hearing their voices as they first started. 'Dear god… are they running nails down a chalkboard?'
As they continued to sing I noticed that the girls were looking at me. 'Great… they were dedicating this song to me. Lovely' I rolled my eyes. "Itachi… wake me up when the act is worth it." I said closing my eyes.
†Break†
"Alright it is intermission time everyone. There are drinks and snacks provided outside the auditorium. If I find a single piece of trash left in here tonight though… you all will know the consequences." I rolled my eyes, looking over to Itachi. "We staying here?" he nodded then looked to Kyuubi "Get us drinks and a snack." Itachi said.
"Yeah yeah yeah… I lost the bet I know jeez." He got up from the chair and walked out. "How much longer is the talent show going to go on for?" I asked Itachi.
"Well we did half of the acts already… so after the 15 minute intermission… I would say maybe… an hour or two?" I groaned then nodded.
Not too long after, Kyuubi returned with drinks and snacks, handing them to us before he repositioned his legs onto the bars again. "I heard the teachers talking… they said that they were saving the good acts for this intermission." Kyuubi said, opening his drink, before he chugged half of it down.
"Yeah but you know how their opinion is against ours." Kyuubi nodded "Yeah but… even some students that were here when the people in the talent show were setting up, even said the best ones were saved for the second part."
"I hope you are right, I don't know how much more of this I can take." I said, knowing full well that I was grumpy.
"Brother… relax… what you could be doing is mocking their performance in your mind." I stared at Itachi. "So that is what has been keeping you entertained…" he smirked then nodded "Yes… can even fill in your own stuff as they do their acts." He looked back to the curtains.
"You should try it so you can loosen up."
I stared up at the curtains and sighed. 'He's right… I do need to loosen up.'

Looking at the calendar... My stories that I have a lot of chapters written up to... if I updated once a week, will currently take me to June's week of 10th~16th. Now... What I might do is have the chapters updated on certain days. So because I updated HSF on Tuesday, every Tuesday will be HSF update. I updated NHS today too but I will make that every Wednesday. NUA will be every Friday, UT... not a popular story, so it will be updated every Monday... because I hate Mondays!
So now I have a new updating system on my stories, it no longer is updated via Hits. That was only my last resort so I could get chapters written up. So I hope everyone enjoys the new update times. It will be just like Chapters to Mangas/Episodes to Anime, being updated once a week. On holidays it is possible for special stories, and at random there may be specials on the chapters (Who knows?)
-Ja ne!
