The next morning, while I was doing my makeup in our hotel bathroom, Sasuke came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist so he could pull me against him.

In the mirror, I watched his dark eyes dance over my body. I was only in my bra and underwear so I was naturally feeling uncomfortable. My face warmed as I frowned at his reflection. His eyebrow rose at my expression and he suddenly pressed me against the counter, "Aren't you getting too brave around me, Hyuga?" His voice was playful.

The two of us haven't really had time to talk since the tour started. Any time we got for ourselves was spent resting or, at least more recently, sleeping together. After returning from his emergency contraceptive trip last night, we did it two more times before exhaustion finally made us give up. My body was definitely feeling the after effects of our trysts.

He snickered in my ear, pulling me out of my perverted thoughts, "Who knew you'd be so insatiable."

My brow furrowed at him and he released his hold on me so I could head over to my suitcase to grab the rest of my outfit, "Me? I think you have us confused."

He shrugged wordlessly.

I expected him to keep teasing me like he usually does, but instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and watched me button my jeans. Before I could pull my shirt over my head, he motioned at me. I approached and he held me in front of him, eyes dancing up and down my body with an unreadable expression. Usually he'll go right into flirting with me or attacking me, but this time he didn't.

Sasuke was silent for so long that I began to worry he noticed what those people online did. Tears rose in my eyes and my arms subconsciously tried to wrap around my torso, but he grabbed my wrists tightly. "Stop losing weight."

My flight response kicked in and I tried to pull away, but he held me still with an uncharacteristically serious expression.

"I-I'm trying to be more healthy…"

He rose to his feet, still keeping me still in front of him, "Starving yourself isn't healthy."

I felt humiliated that he was attacking me like this and my embarrassment developed into anger. With a glare, I tore my wrists away and returned to dressing myself, "It's not l-like I'm underweight or something, Sasuke, so leave me alone about it."

He watched me wordlessly gather my things and leave, not moving to stop me.

I huffed to myself angrily as I trekked down to the small cafe in the lobby of the large hotel. He of all people should know how different my body looks compared to other women. Surely he understands why I'd want to do what I can to stay in shape. So why would he look at me like that?

It was almost unbearable to recall the expression on his face. It said it all. It said how uncomfortable he was bringing up the conversation in the first place. If he didn't want to, why did he?

I slid into an empty booth in the back corner of the cafe with a mug of tea and a frown, only to be distracted by someone sliding into the seat across from me. My instinct told me to run because I'd probably been recognized and a fan had approached with way too much confidence, but luckily when I looked up it was just Yahiko and Deidara.

The thought that I was lucky disappeared when I remembered Sasuke telling me the two of them saw him making a potentially incriminating purchase. Either way, I did my best to act naturally, "Good morning, guys."

Deidara offered me a small smile, clinking his cup against mine in a friendly way, "Did you sleep well, Hinata?"

Inwardly, I was in a panic, but I kept my composure, "I did, t-thanks. You?"

Yahiko was staring at me in silence as he sipped his beverage, but his eyes seemed more studious than usual, or maybe that's just my anxiety talking.

"I would've slept better if the girl Sasuke was fucking last night wasn't so loud."

I choked on my tea, coughing frantically as I accepted a napkin from the amused blonde young man. My head felt thick and cloudy in an instant and when I finally caught my breath, I lowered my voice, "You guys could h-hear?"

The two nodded in unison. I stared down into my mug, mind-boggled as to what I should do.

"You should tell your bandmate to be more careful. It'd be a scandal if he got a fan pregnant."

My eyes rose to meet Yahiko's as he finally spoke up. I couldn't tell if he knew it was me and was trying to let me know he'd keep our secret or if he truly believed it was another girl in there last night. He's too hard to read.

I nodded slowly, "I-I'll tell him."

Deidara leaned back in his seat, his foot brushing against mine seemingly by accident, "I wonder what kind of chicks the Uchiha's into, " his blue eyes locked onto mine, "What kind of guys do you like, Hinata?"

A familiar voice came from my side and I turned to see Sakura and Gaara approaching. "Do you guys know Naruto Uzumaki? That's her childhood crush."

I gave my pink-haired friend a sharp look and she stuck her tongue out as she slid into the booth beside me, Gaara following suit.

The blonde Prestige singer perked up, "Blonde hair and blue eyes: I'm just your type!" I rolled my eyes with a blush on my face as he and Sakura laughed.


That night and the next, we did our concerts as planned before returning to the tour bus so we could start the journey back to Konoha for the final performance.

Things were kind of tense with Sasuke since he brought up my weight. It wasn't like we were fighting, but we were definitely giving each other some space. I'm not stupid enough to expect an apology and I know it's up to me to approach him first since I'm the one who stormed off, but I couldn't bring myself to do it before we left the hotel and wouldn't be able to while we're on the bus or others might overhear. So, I'll have to wait until after our Konoha performance. It may be for the best so we can focus on one final push for the last concert of the tour.

Everyone gave up playing games to pass the time as we traveled, instead we all just lazed about doing what we could to keep ourselves entertained.

I sat on the floor in front of Gaara as he braided my hair, feeling giddy with happiness that he'd asked to do so. Having someone play with my hair is one of my favorite things. It just feels so nice, like a shoulder massage or something.

Sakura sat across from me as she scrolled through various social media apps on her phone. Sasuke was sitting on her other side doing the same thing. The two of us awkwardly tried not to catch one another stealing glances. Yahiko was on the top bunk sleeping while the remaining two members of Prestige sat nearby, also playing on their phones.

I was, personally, responding to a mountain of texts I'd missed over the past few days. There were dozens from Ino, Tenten, and Karin, a couple from Hanabi, and one that surprised me.

My father sent me a text message. Never in my entire life had Hiashi Hyuga sent me a text. It read, "Hello Hinata. I would like you to meet me at my home for tea. Reply to schedule a date." The whole thing came off more like a professional email instead of a message from a father to his daughter.

What could he possibly have to say to me? He'd made himself incredibly clear when he'd visited me in the hospital that he wanted nothing to do with me. If it was anyone but Hiashi Hyuga, I'd assume he wanted to take back his words because he saw how successful I've become, but the man's too prideful for that. He'd rather die than admit he'd been wrong. So, it had to be something else entirely.

Hesitantly, I replied just in case it has something to do with Hanabi or Neji. After sending it, I glanced up to see that Sakura was staring at me. My eyes widened slightly in surprise and I briefly wondered if I should tell her about the message, but decided against it. My pink-haired friend is quick to stand up for me and that would only make my father more angry.

"Hinata, you look kinda thin. Are you feeling okay?" Sakura's voice was very hushed so only the other members of our group could hear.

In my peripheral view, I saw Sasuke pointedly look away.

Gaara's fingers stopped moving through my hair and he leaned over to look at me with wide eyes. His calm voice sounded concerned, "It's true. Your skin's even a bit pale."

I frantically waved a dismissive hand, "I've been d-dieting a bit, but it's nothing to be c-concerned about." The tour's been so hectic, I know I personally couldn't recall sitting down to a formal meal with Sakura or Gaara in a few weeks, so they shouldn't be able to say anything about my eating habits.

"Are you sure that's it? You're not feeling sick at all?" I nodded reassuringly to my friend, inwardly sighing with relief when she accepted my response.

"Okay, but you should still rest up after this concert, just in case." I agreed, if only to appease her in the moment. Gaara returned to braiding my hair in silence.

Later, when I stood up to stretch my legs, a wave of dizziness washed over me so suddenly that the redhead quickly jumped up to steady me. My face felt hot, but my body felt cold. Regardless, I shook my head at him, "I'm okay!"

The rest of my bandmates were quiet and I didn't dare look at them. Instead, I climbed onto one of the empty bunks and got some needed rest.

I awoke in the middle of the night to Sasuke running his fingers up and down my back as I cuddled into his chest. My first reaction was to shoot away in case someone saw, but I quickly realized everyone else was asleep and relaxed.

He smelled so good and it helped calm my nerves.

He rolled onto his side and looked at me with the same expression he had the other day in our hotel room. I shook my head with a frown, whispering quietly, "Stop."

His eyes narrowed slightly as he studied my face before leaning in to kiss me slowly. Even now, after we've done so much together, his kisses make my head spin.


Tenten and Kakashi greeted us backstage as we were preparing for our tour's final concert. The popstar was a sight for sore eyes. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed her until tears rose in my eyes and my body moved on its own to hug her.

"I missed you guys so much! The agency's been so quiet with you gone!"

Sakura laughed, "So no break-ins or fist fights?"

Kakashi joined in the laughter, "Our P.R. team has had a well-deserved break."

Tenten nudged the CEO in the ribs, "Oh come on, don't be so harsh, Kakashi! You know they're worth the trouble!"

The handsome older man grinned, making every girl, and even some guys, swoon, "Of course!"

After catching up for a few minutes, we were forced to refocus and soon we were waiting on either side of the large stage. The crowd was deafening as they chanted our names over and over as though they'd practiced it and we hadn't even come into view yet.

The stage itself was huge, giving us plenty of room to work with, and had a wide array of features to enhance the show like smoke machines, lights, fireworks, and more. We wanted to start our show off with a bang, so we chose to open with Fallin'.

This was the only song where all four of us sang together that had a need for backup dancers. We'd practiced with them many times in preparation for this tour so everyone was comfortable with one another.

I looked across the wide stage to see Sasuke and Sakura waiting for their cue, just like Gaara and I were. I jolted in shock when I felt him grab my arm, only for him to pull me into a hug as he spoke above the noise, "Thank you!"

Tears rose to my eyes and I hugged him back. I knew what he meant. Once we step foot on that stage, there's going to be no turning back. We'll have solidified our place in the musical history books. None of this would've been possible if not for our group's efforts.

I thought back to the day I first met the other members of Prestige. This was definitely not how I expected things to end up, but I couldn't hope for anything better. If not for my three friends, no, family members, I wouldn't be here living my dream.

We pulled apart and I wiped gingerly at my eyes, trying not to ruin my makeup. I could see Sakura hugging Sasuke across the stage, while the Uchiha pretended not to be affected by the emotions in the air. I know he felt it, though.

The fast-paced drums of the song's intro suddenly started playing and the dancers on stage started moving expertly with military-inspired moves. Gaara jogged out to start the performance. The crowd's roars were so loud, I was sure the stage would shake, but it didn't.

G: Caught in the moment, not even thinkin' twice

Everything's frozen, nothing but you and I

Sasuke came out next, singing as he strode confidently onstage. He was stunning. His styling, voice, and the lights all amplified an already perfect human being. In the back of my mind I wondered how I'd react if he approached me alone looking like that.

SU: Can't stop my heart from beating

Why do I love this feeling?

Gaara continued and the two joined the backup dancers seamlessly.

G: Make me a promise, tell me you'll stay with me

If I'm being honest, I don't know where this leads

SU: But that's the only question, baby, don't keep me guessin'

That was my cue and I took a strengthening breath before entering the stage. I could barely hear the music in my earpiece over the crowd, but it didn't bother me. My whole body felt light with excitement.

HH: Ooh, you are my muse

I feel so reckless

Oh, you're makin' me, makin' me, makin' me give in

Sakura came onstage to start the first chorus and the rest of us got in position to perform the choreography perfectly like we'd practiced.

SH: Oh, baby, I can feel the rush of adrenaline

I'm not scared to jump if you want to

Let's just fall in love for the hell of it

Maybe, we'll just keep fallin'

SH: I can feel the rush of adrenaline

I'm not scared to jump, 'cause I want you

Let's just fall in love for the hell of it

Maybe, we'll just keep fallin'

We continued the concert into the night without error.

The crowd was so large that I couldn't even see the end of it. Lights were flashing, people were cheering, the music was blasting. All of this would've seemed overwhelming a year ago, but now it just feels amazing, like the highest of highs. That is, until we neared the final song of the night.

We were all drenched with sweat, understandably, but my body started to feel cold rather than the hot I'd gotten used to while performing. Luckily, I didn't have any lines in the first half of the song, Thunderclouds, so I could focus on taking calming breaths.

By the time it was my turn to sing, I managed to get myself together enough to pull it off. Once the second chorus ended, the chorus I sang alone, I felt things take a turn for the worse. The stage lights started to blur together and my limbs began to feel heavier and heavier.

Sasuke was my dance partner for this song and he noticed quickly that something was wrong. As the song continued, his grip tightened to keep me upright. Finally, the last line was sung and fireworks started blasting from the stage up into the sky.

My head started to pound and I could tell I was about to go down so I turned to walk backstage as calmly as possible in hopes of going unnoticed by the fans. Tears welled up in my eyes as I shoved my mic away from my lips, not wanting it to pick up my panicked breathing.

I could see Tenten motioning for me to come to her quickly with a concerned look on her features. There were two medics behind her ready to help. My body gave out just as I reached her and I felt myself falling toward the ground.

Thank god I made it off the stage.
