"Brat, I thought I warned you to be on time today!" Jiraiya roared to a cowering Naruto.
For the whole first week of September and the rest of remaining August, many people were involved in the making of the 'Christmas of Hidden Leaf' music CD.
Naruto had been avoiding Sasuke due to his embarrassment of the incident, not that it was difficult as filming seemed to be delayed as Kakashi was admitted to the hospital with a broken leg, it seemed he got into a fight with someone over a roll of film…
Naruto was once again late in reaching the recording studio on the second Wednesday of September and was currently getting reprimanded by his all rounded manager. Naruto apologized furiously, as he headed to the recording studio with his band, clutching a music sheet titled 'Christmas Peace', which he will be singing with his band, as bowed his head in apology, he did not notice the evil smirks on everyone's face.
Naruto was very happy to be able to sing the songs written entirely by his father. Sarutobi-sama had chance upon the Christmas collection folder of his father, Yondaime, without hesitation, he included two songs in the CD and given Naruto the privilege to sing the songs.

Naruto entered the recording studio and realized that the piece of glass cordoning the area where the singing was supposed to be recorded was opaque, which Naruto found weird as all other glasses he had seen in the recording studios were transparent. Before he could ask about the strange glass, he was shoved into the recording area and the door was bolted shut behind him. Naruto blinked in confusion, thousands of questions in his mind as he spotted a person leaning against the wall in a corner which wiped away afore- mentioned questions in his head.
The figure stood up and walked towards the stricken blond, engaging in a half shouting match.
"Sasuke bastard, what are you doing here?!"
"We are supposed to sing this song together, dobe."
"What, nobody told me!"
"They didn't because you will not comply to work with me, or refuse to come here if you know it's me you are working with."
"But I don't want to work with a bastard, why do I have to sing with you anyway!"
"This is a promotion song for the movie 'Just Across', the announcement of you participating in the movie will be on this CD release press conference, Kakashi and Iruka-san relationship will also be revealed, that's why they are doing a song together too. I heard this was your father's song isn't it, make your father proud."
"…Fine, I WILL MAKE MY FATHER PROUD!"
Naruto stormed over to the mike and put on the earphones, closing his eyes and breathing deeply to compose himself. Sasuke smiled as he saw the determination in Naruto's eyes when Naruto looked over to him a moment later and nodded, he returned the nod and placed his own earphones before reaching forward to tap lightly three times on a panel of clear glass bordering the bottom of the opaque glass.
A minute later, a person mimicked the gesture, Naruto and Sasuke took a deep breath each and waited for the music. Ten seconds later, music flooded Naruto's senses and Naruto started singing with all his heart, both glancing at each other's lyrics to cooperate with each other. Unknowingly, they often gazed at each other, smiles on their faces.
The people listening outside were surprised at how well their voices complemented each other and the way they blend together, they even performed perfectly at the 'Question and Answer' section. The feeling was magical, the song itself was well done, in addition with the voices, simply put, to good to put into words. They were flabbergasted, sure that there was no need to re-record as they usually did for three to five times for their band songs.
The melody slowly faded away as they ceased whispering the lyrics. Naruto realized their fingers were interwoven together and that Sasuke was looking not that much of a bastard after. They gazed deeply into each other's eyes, trying to work out their own emotions as they got lost in each others' souls. The blond finally decided to not deny his feelings for the Uchiha or hold back any longer. He stood on tip toes and leaned forward, grazing the other's lips. He noticed Sasuke's eye lids fluttering closed and he followed suit. Maybe…just maybe…they could be together…
A/N: Sorry for the wait! I will be updating two or three days later so this is shorter then usual, featuring the making of the MTV, a few photo shoots of the entire group, Sasuke and Naruto, Kakashi and Iruka. The group will also be meeting up with the person in charge of the design of album and the lyrics and photo shoots booklet plus special effects of the MTV itself. Many new characters introduced! Sasuke will get jealous because one of the new characters gets too cozy with Naruto!
Thank you for reading and please review.
