The song I used is I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes. I did change a little, but most of the credit should go to him.
Naruto was grinning from ear to ear. He nudged Misa with one of his elbows. "Hey, let's get Ramen for dinner."
She grabbed his ear and pulled. "Mhm. Not tonight mister. You've just had a serious workout. We need something with protein."
She let go of his ear and he rubbed it. "Did ya have to pinch so hard? And why do we need protein, anyway. Ramen gives me plenty of energy."
"Because, silly, protein is what builds your muscles. You're not doing any of those throws with any force unless you bulk up. Come on." She grabbed his ear again and yanked him down the street. "We're going to barbeque."
The bell over the door rang as they entered the restaurant. People looked to see who it was, then immediately looked down at their food. It's her. They all thought.
Naruto barged right in. "Hey! Can I get a table for two? I'm eatin' out with Sis!"
"Oh, it's you Naruto. There's a table ready right over there. What'll you be having?"
"Something with protein. Oh wait, that's everything. What do you think?" He turned to Misa.
"I think the double steak should be good for us. And we'll have the mustard sauce with it."
The manager turned away before answering. "I'll deliver it to your table."
Misa quickly walked away from the counter towards the table the man had gestured at. Naruto looked back and forth between the two of them. What was going on? He raced after her.
The mean was an awkward one. Misa seemed down, and no matter how many jokes or crazy comments Naruto made, she didn't seem to react. Finally he gave up and they finished their meal in silence.
She didn't say much on the way home either. He went on and on about the mission Tsunade wanted him to do with Sakura and Sasuke, something about relations with the Mist village. He kept pausing, giving her openings to interrupt him, but she never did. She just seemed to get more and more depressed.
Finally, when they got back to their apartment, Naruto stepped in front of the door and looked his sister in the eyes. "What's up?"
"Nothing." She mumbled. "Let's go in."
"Not until you tell me what's wrong. What happened? We were having a great time today with Choji and Neji, but as soon as we went into that restaurant you seemed out of it."
"I'm telling you, nothing's wrong," She said, getting louder. "Now get out of the way! It's cold out here." She pushed past him, slipped off her shoes, and walked up to her bedroom. She shut the door hard.
Naruto went in, slid off his shoes, and walked upstairs to collapse onto his bed. Am I ever gonna to understand girls? If he'd asked Misa she would have said… had he ever asked her that? He walked over to her room to pose the question when he heard something. Gaara's voice was coming out of his sister's bedroom.
"I loved the bridge you sent me last time. We're working on a band version, now that we have all the parts. Temari's getting good with that flute thing you gave me, and Kankuro turned some of his puppets into drums. Here's the refrain for the next one. Before you listen to it, let me explain. The villagers have been getting uneasy. You haven't shown any signs of coming back. I know you want to, and I'll wait as long as it takes. We are engaged. It's just that, some of the girls in the village are beginning to close in, and their dads are backing them up. They keep telling me to give up on you, that it's crazy to hold on. And they're right. It would be much easier to just choose one of them. I wrote this first verse as an answer to them. Please send me a refrain."
I wanna take a week and come on by.
I gotta see the color in your eyes
I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright
Without you Misa are the hardest times.
Yeah, our first kiss, Misa, seasons changed
Got washed away in a summer rain.
You can't undo a fall like this
Cause love don't know what distance is.
Yeah, I know it's crazy.
Gaara can SING! Naruto pressed his ear against the keyhole, waiting for more. There was a pause, papers rustling, a kissing sound, some clicking, and then music. Then Misa started to sing, and she was just as good. It matched his verse perfectly, with pitch and melody, everything. It was seamless.
I don't want good and I don't want good enough.
I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love.
We'll get there note by note, it doesn't make sense to anybody else.
Who cares if you're all I think about.
I've searched the world and I know now
It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind.
I don't want easy, I want crazy.
Are you with me, Gaara? Let's be crazy.
She stopped singing. And started crying. "I miss you so much I can't stand it! I'm falling apart without you. I swear, the next time I send you a letter, it'll be telling you to come and get me. That, or I'm dead." There was a short kissing sound, then nothing.
Naruto crept back to his room, shut the door quietly, and fell on the bed. She's in love with him?! She's four years older than him and a Leaf ninja! How did they even meet? He was about to barge into her room and demand an explanation when he remembered what she'd said. Come and get me? Does she want to leave? Why would she want that? Then he thought about what had happened that night.
Why would she want to stay? She doesn't have anyone here besides me. She probably has tons of friends in Sand, since she helped them so much. And didn't Gaara say that they were engaged? When did that happen? He got up and walked towards the mirror. Now that I think about it, the only times she was really happy here was when it was just the two of us. Even having Choji and Neji around today seemed to stretch her. Maybe going back is the best thing for her. But how would I do it? He fell asleep before he could figure it out.
