Chapter 36
It was June 3, the last day of school before summer vacation… Gaara, Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, and the other bands they knew were at the auditorium getting their instruments ready. Sakura walked towards them.
"Hey, Sakura." Naruto said smiling.
"Not now Naruto, we'll talk later." She said seriously. She turned to Kiba. "You were nice when you dumped Ino, right?"
"Yes I was. She even agreed that we are too different to be a couple." Kiba replied holding his Les Paul.
"She was lying." Sakura said surprising them all. "She's been very emo since you broke up with her. She's even been crying herself to sleep."
"What?!?!?!" Kiba was the most shocked. "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"
"I thought it would wear off and she'd be back to her normal self." She said putting her head down. "But last night, she started saying she was ugly and marked her face out of a picture she has of you and her."
"… I'll talk to her after the concert." Kiba replied. "It's going to start in a few minutes. You should head back to your band."
"Yeah, he's right." Said Gaara tuning his Ibanez.
"Okay." She went back to her band in another area.
"I'm going to miss her so much, believe it." Naruto said smiling.
"We're all going to miss the girls." Shikamaru said holding his drum sticks. "Gaara will miss Hinata more than any of us."
"You saw me crying didn't you?" Gaara asked.
"Yes I did." Shikamaru replied staring.

A few minutes later… The auditorium audience was full of students and some faculty members. Tsunade walked onto the stage.
"Welcome students, to the End of School concert." She said as the crowd cheered. "Our first band today is a three member band that can darken a room with their music. Here they are, Spider Puppets!!"
They crowd cheered as Shino with a Shecter Elite with the same paint job as his Fender, Kankuro with his drum sticks, and Haku with a sky blue Lakland Bass walked on stage.
"This first song is called I Hate Everything About You." Haku said in his mic. Shino started playing shortly followed by Haku singing.
Every
time we lie awake Every roommate kept
awake Only when I stop to
think about it
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I
get
But I haven't missed you yet
By every sigh, and scream we make
All the feelings that I
get
But I still don't miss you yet
They
all started playing their instruments. I
hate everything about you Every time we lie awake Only when I stop to think about it I hate
everything about you Only when I stop to think
Why do I love you?
I hate everything
about you
Why do I love you?
After
every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed
you yet
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about
you
Why do I love you?
About
you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know?
They had a short interlude.
I hate I hate everything about you
I
hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
You hate
everything about me
Why do you love me?
You
hate
I hate
You love me
Why
do I love you?
They finished playing. The crowd cheered.
"Thank you." Shino said into his mic. "This next song is one we experimented with screaming and it worked out pretty well. This song is called The Bird and The Worm."
The crowd cheered as the started to play.

The crowd freaked out as they finished. Tsunade walked on stage.
"Amazing." She said. "That was something totally new from you."
"Well, we don't want to be repetitive." Haku said. "So we decided to give screaming a try."
"We're glad you did." She replied as they started to walk off stage. "We still have a good line up of bands, so hang tight."
-
Backstage… The girls were getting ready.
"Ready Hinata." Temari asked holding her Ibanez.
"Y-y-yes." Hinata replied.
"This is your solo today." Sakura said holding her Fender bass.
"Yeah." Said Ino quietly holding a purple Jackson Dinky.
"I-i-i-I'm ready." Hinata said smiling.
-
Back onstage… Tsunade went back up.
"This next band is a band all about girl power." She started. "They make most guy bands look like posers, here they are, Sunshine Fan!!!"
The crowd cheered as the girls walking on stage. Temari started singing.
Sparkling
angel Blinded by faith I see the angels No remorse 'cause I still remember
I believe
You are my savior
In my time of
need
I couldn't hear
All the
whispers
The warning's so clear
I'll
lead them to your door
There is no escape now
Now mercy no
more
The smile when you
tore me apart
They
all started playing their instruments. You
took my heart Sparkling
angel Fallen angel I see the angels No remorse
'cause I still remember You
took my heart Could have been
forever This world may have
failed you The smile when you tore me
apart You took my heart Could have been forever
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me
dreams
I wished they'd turn to real
You broke the promise
And
made me realize
It was all just a lie
Couldn't see
Your dark intensions
Your feelings for
me
Tell me why?
What is the reason?
The
thorn in your eye
I'll lead them to your
door
There is no escape now
No mercy no more
The smile when you tore me apart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me
dreams
I wished they'd turn in to real
You broke a promise
And
made me realize
It was all just a lie
Now we have reached the end
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have
chosen
A different path of life
Deceived me right from the
start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn in to real
You
broke a promise
And made me realize
It was all just a
lie
Now we have reached the end
They crowd cheered as they finished playing.
"Thank you." Temari said moving her mic and stand. "This next song is a solo from our good friend." She put the mic in front of Hinata.
"This s-song is c-called My Immortal." Hinata said. She started playing her keyboard for a short while then started to sing.
I'm
so tired of being here These wounds won't seem to heal When you
cried I'd wipe away all of your tears You used to captivate
me These wounds
won't seem to heal When you cried I'd wipe away all
of your tears I've tried so hard to tell myself that
you're gone
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And
if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause
your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me
alone
This pain is just too
real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you'd scream I'd fight
away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these
years
But you still have
All of me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left
behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your
voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
This pain is just too real
There's just too
much that time cannot erase
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your
fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you
still have
All of me
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all
along
She
had a short piano solo. When
you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd
fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of
these years
But you still have
All of me
She finished playing and the crowd cheered as much as they did for the first song. Tsunade walked on stage.
"I had no idea you could sing like that, Hinata!" Tsunade said.
"I j-j-just wanted to s-s-sing that so m-my boyfriend, G-g-g-Gaara would know that I w-w-will miss him t-t-this summer." Hinata said sadly.
"I'm sure he was listening the entire time." Tsunade said. They walked off stage. "Feel free to go to the bathroom or walk around but be back soon because we still have more bands on the way."
-
Backstage… Gaara hugged Hinata as she walked back.
"I'll miss you, Hinata." He said still hugging her.
"I'll m-m-miss you too." She said hugging him back.
-
Later back on stage… Tsunade walked on stage.
"This next band won last years and the years before Battle of the Bands." She stated getting the crowds attention. "They are hardcore to the very end. Here they are, Sasuke and the Sound Nins!!!"
The crowd cheered as Sasuke and the others from the sound dorms walked on stage with the same instrument from the last concert.
Sasuke stated screaming.
Goooooooooooooo
The rest of the band started playing.
Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He continued to scream.
A
wraith with an angel's body
A demon with a smile of gold
You
soul sucker
I won't become like you
A killer with the perfect
weapons, crystal eyes, and a heart of coal
You soul sucker
I
won't lose myself in you
Sasuke
stopped screaming as Zaku stated singing. Look
how pretty she is when she falls down
Now there is no beauty in
bleeding mascara
Lip are quivering like a withering rose
Sasuke started screaming again.
She's
back again
What
the fuck do you think love means?
It's much more than words and
feelings sucking me dry
Is my marrow that sweet?
Your dead
lovers have left a trail of broken hearts and misspent hopes
Sucking
them dry
Does their marrow taste of sweetness, sweetness?
I
hope you choke
Zaku played a rather long solo. He finished and started singing again.
Look
how pretty she is when she falls down
Now there is no beauty in
bleeding mascara
Lip are quivering like a withering rose
Sasuke started screaming again.
She's back again
She's back again
She's back again
He stopped screaming to sing the last part.
She's back
The audience freaked out and cheered like crazy.
"Thank you." Sasuke said. "This next song is called, This Calling."
He screamed as the rest of the band followed along.
I
secretly crave, crave that scent again
Still feel it pressing on
me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steel my
nerves for temptations at hand again
Sasuke
stopped screaming and Zaku started singing. And
I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear
this calling out
Sasuke
started screaming again. No
secrets deception for these would tear this down
I'll note the
past spare the pain
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never
forget these choices were made by me
Zaku
started singing again. And
I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear
this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this
calling out
They
had a short intolude Not
falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me
Though I am
fearful I will not prevent this tragedy
My strengths been tested I
wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will
see me through
Zaku
did a solo better than the last one he did for the first song. He
started to sing again. And
I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear
this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this
calling out
Zaku
sang and Sasuke screamed at the same time. My
strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe
that this calling will see me through.
Zaku stopped singing and Sasuke continued to scream.
Still I believe that this calling will see me through.
They finished playing as the crowd cheered. Tsunade walked on stage.
"That was amazing." Tsunade started. "You five still have it."
"Thank you." Said Zaku. "We just like to play and we're glad to have as much fans as we have."
"That's good to hear." She said as they walked off stage. "We still have three bands coming up so hang tight."
-
Backstage… Gaara and the others were getting ready.
"Ready guys?!" Shikamaru asked.
"I've been ready, believe it." Replied a hyper Naruto.
"Of course I'm ready." Said an excited Kiba.
"This will be new." Said Gaara. "This is very exciting."
-
Tsunade walked back onstage.
"Before we introduce the next band, I hate to inform you that Jounin and Akatsuki won't be playing today." She said as the crowd complained. "So this is the last band. They are a personal favorite of mine. My nephew is even the bassist of this band. They give music a whole new meaning. Here they are, Leaves in the Sand!!!!!"
They walked onstage as the crowd cheered. They started playing a short intro. Gaara started to sing with a deep voice.
Lately
I've been wandering 'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight The world I know is pulling
me
Off the narrow path
You've given me so
many things that I've never had
And all in all I know it's you
that always pulls me through
If you reach deep inside you'll see
my heart is true
And
I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And
I promise to make the sacrifice
More and more each day
I feel like the odd man out as I
begin to pray
Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I
do
In the midst of darkness Lord
My spirit calls for you
They
started a short interlude. (You
know sometimes deep inside)
Gaara started to scream.
I
feel like this
Kiba
started doing a solo that match the song perfectly. 'Cause
I hate the way I feel tonight 'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight The Way I Feel Yeaah The Way I
Feeeel
And I know I need you in my life
Yes
I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice
And I know I need you
in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to
make the sacrifice
They finished and the crowd cheered louder than they have all day.
"Thank you." Gaara said as Kiba and Naruto switched places. "This next song was written by our guitarist, Kiba. So, he's being my back up for this song. This song is called False Pretense."
They started playing a short intro. Gaara started singing with a higher pitch voice.
Oh,
it's time to let it go Betrayed but not gonna
be willing to change And it doesn't seem likely to fade False pretense you'll hurt again
The world's got a funny way of turning
'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the
face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't
sweat it, it was set on false pretense
Betrayed
but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-'cause you know...
It's sacrifice
Stop
pretending don't deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
Don't sweat it - it's set on false
pretense False
pretense you'll hurt again
All
along you know you thought you got the best of me
But you were
wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you
claimed you were my family
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it
doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to
change
Cu-cu-cu-'cause you know...
It's sacrifice
Stop pretending don't deny
False
pretense you'll hurt again
Oh,
it's time to let it go
They played a short interlude.
You
tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role? False pretense you'll hurt again
I
can't seem to understand it how you turned out to be so cold
It's
funny to me how you've turned into such a joke...
It's
sacrifice
Stop pretending
don't deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
So play the game
until you run out
And play the game into my hand
They stopped playing and the crowd cheered louder than they did before. Tsunade walked on stage.
"Both songs were amazing and completely different." She started. "An alternative rock song and a punk song."
"That's what we do." Gaara started. "We do both alternative rock and punk, so we agreed to do one of each."
"We're glad you did." She replied. They started to walk off stage. "I hope you all enjoyed the school year. Go home and enjoy the summer."
-
Later at the academy's gate… Gaara and Hinata were saying their goodbye.
"Y-y-you will call, r-r-right?" Hinata asked.
"I will, leave your cell phone on, okay? That's the number I know." He replied.
"O-o-okay, I'll m-m-miss you." She hugged him.
He hugged her back. "I'll miss you too."
They start to kiss for the last time until school starts back up.
