Chapter 5
The lights went low. Lee could see Ino's bright blonde hair still glowing over by the tech booth. The room fell to a hush, as he quickly scanned for Sakura. There she was, front row. Lee made a few practice motions over the paper in preparation. He would do his job, but he had a different agenda on the side. He was gonna sketch Sakura to his heart's content. He smiled from where he was seated off to the side. This was gonna rock. Pun intended.
From the stage, Lee could see two drum sticks twirling anxiously. Two dark figures were swaying slightly- keeping still to hold suspense. Finally the lights went up as the drums crashed out the first notes. Soon after, the bass joined in to hold the beat. Everyone waited, motionless, for the scowling lead singer to take their breaths away. All eyes were upon Saskue. Even Lee found he couldnÕt tear his eyes away. Finally the singer raised his head and a pouring, sweet voice shook the room. It was soon broken by the wailing lead guitar, but it still fluidly flowed through the loft.
Lee was entranced by his voice and began sketching immediately. He accentuated Sasuke's intense facial expressions. Sasuke tossed his head around, glaring, pouting as he sang. His perfect straight, black hair flew, pieces here and there, a bit caught seductively on his lip. This boy made love to the crowd. And to Lee's sketchbook. Before heÕd known it, Lee'd filled two whole pages. And it was still the first song. Oops.
He shifted his attention back to the crowd. There was Sakura. Her head was bobbing slightly, and she didn't look all that enthusiastic, but her eyes told all. They were fixated on that singing boy. Sex poured out of those eyes. She looked as if she would attack him right then. Lee warily doodled those eyes. They scared him. Though somehow he thought he'd feel differently if those eyes had been aimed at him....
He turned to the tech booth. Ino looked very preoccupied. Her brow was furrowed and her lips curled to one side. She held one hand to the earphone in her right ear, and one hand flew over the sound boards switching this and adjusting that. Every once in a while she glanced up at look at the band. Once, her eyes caught Lee's and she flashed a thumbs up and winked. Lee could have sworn he heard her telepathically will him to make her look good. He grinned and ran long, smooth pencil lines over the paper for her hair.
Before too long, the first song was over. Sasuke breathed into the mike and Naruto whacked his drum set a few more times. Between breaths, Sasuke managed to mutter "Hey guys." and "Welcome to Bohemianism."
Was that their name? Lee supposed the rusticated "B" on the bass drum would tip him off, but...
Somehow he felt he should have known that they were bohemians. The idea appealed to him greatly. What could be better than living in the city with a group of young, independent kids like himself? Lee continued to sketch throughout the evening, gradually taking the band figures and molding them into their own unique characters on paper. It was very easy to differentiate their personalities, even by simply looking over the drawings. Sasuke was pleased too.
"Though... I don't remember asking for Sakura to be drawn..." He smirked with wry suspicion, as he talked with Lee much later after the show. "Never mind." He shook his head.
Just then, Sakura waltzed over to them. "Ready? Oh! Let's see, Lee." Lee watched her eyes flow over the pages. She was obviously impressed. "Wow. Sasuke, you are dead sexy here." She pointed at one head shot. Sasuke's head was angled down with his eyes cast up. His mouth was hanging open and his hair hung heavily over his features.
"I liked that one too. Though they're all excellent if I may say so. Sasuke's very.. ahem.. expressive." Lee said.
"It's okay to tell me I'm sexy. Guys do it all the time, it doesn't bother me at all."
"Yeah, I think he likes it, too." Sakura added, nudging her boyfriend in the ribs. She turned to the page where Lee had captured her 'bedroom eyes'. She looked a little embarrassed, a little flattered. "Me too? Geez, you were busy tonight, Lee."
Lee just smiled and muttered something inaudible. A few awkward seconds later, he motioned towards the exit. "I should get going... early class." He smiled humbly and got up.
"Okay, let's go." Sakura rose as well.
And Sasuke.
Lee looked confused. Sakura stared at him, then cocked her head to the side playfully. "Same train." She motioned between them with her finger.
Lee smacked his forehead. A little too hard. "Right! Um. Ow."
"Sasuke rides with me when it's late." She smiled sweetly. "Let's go."
It WAS late, but, Lee was there after all...
It wasn't overtly noticeable, but Sasuke was observing Lee carefully out of the corner of his eye as the seemingly innocent art student chatted with his girlfriend in the elevator. And this art student secretly resented the boyfriend having to accompany his girlfriend home like that.

Weee.. Wasn't that fun? Bohemianism. I put ZERO thought into that name. I was reading Kerouac's biography and finally got the that point in this chapter and.. wahh.
Next chapter- the plot thickens, I swear. Lee's getting desperate and gonna make some really... interesting choices in his attempt to woo Sakura. Secondary characters gonna play bigger roles. Do I smell deceit and infidelity? How about a threesome? (It's not what you think, I swear) ;D Tune in next time!
