Hi everyone sorry for not updating in my two week deadline...got my first
case of writers block so to make it up to you I plan on uploading two
chapters today. But, don't expect much...I still have writers block so I'm
trying to advance the story line to a point that I can be able to come up
with something again...if that makes any sense. Umm...yeah that's all I have to
say.
(Disclaimer = I don't own Naruto)
(Chapter 7)
Throughout the weekend the only thing that was on Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Neji's mind was, "How do we get Naruto to join our band?" The day after the party ended Neji brought up the subject to his sister.
"Say Hinata...can you help us get Naruto to join our band?" Neji asked. He always hated asking for help but, he justified his reason for asking by telling himself that he was helping Sasuke and Shikamaru.
"Neji as much as I would like to see Naruto in your band as well as help Sasuke, Shikamaru, and yourself...I just can't." said Hinata in a sad tone as she remembered what Naruto had told her the night before.
"Come on Hinata. You know he would greatly improve our band." Neji almost begged.
"Why do you need my help anyway? Ask him yourself." Hinata replied.
"Because...as much time as the two of you spent together...you know him better than the rest of us." Neji said.
"Neji...I told Naruto that he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to. How do you think he would feel if I turned around and tried to get him to join your band?" Hinata replied.
"You do have a point...so you're saying that if we want him in our band we have to ask him?" Neji asked even though he already knew the answer. Hinata nodded and Neji cursed himself for being right. Seeing as he wasn't going to get any help from his sister Neji sulked to his room.
(-Monday the new week-)
As school came back into session from the interesting weekend Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru got straight to the point the minute the saw Naruto.
"Naruto we don't know how to say this so we'll get straight to the point. We want you to be the lead singer in our band." Shikamaru said rather bluntly. He hated taking the round about in anything and always got straight to the point.
"Umm...sorry guys but I can't. It's hard to explain but I can't do it." Said Naruto, as he tried his best to keep his past to himself.
"You CAN do it...but you won't is that it?" Sasuke said getting a little annoyed.
"That's enough Sasuke! If Naruto doesn't want to do it then he doesn't want to do it." Said Hinata, with a tone in her voice that surprised everyone, even herself.
"Look all I'm saying is that Naruto doesn't have a reason not to join." Sasuke said trying to calm Hinata down.
"How do you know he doesn't have a reason!?" Hinata shot back.
"Well if he has one by all means share it with us." Sasuke said not backing down. With that said Hinata quieted down. "Aren't you going to tell us what this big reason is?" Sasuke asked again. While Sasuke was continuously repeating himself Naruto just hung his head and stared at his feet. Before Sasuke could continue any further the five-minute bell rang and everyone went their own ways to their own classes.
Throughout the rest of the day nothing happened. When Naruto met up with Shikamaru and Neji in his later classes they apologized for Sasuke's behavior. But, when Naruto met up with Sasuke in his sixth-hour it was a whole nother story. Every chance he got Sasuke would ask Naruto to join the band and every time Naruto refused. When Sasuke asked why Naruto only said he couldn't tell him. This continued through the entire week. By Friday Naruto had had enough.
"Naruto will you just tell me why?" Sasuke asked Naruto as he followed him home. That was it...Naruto had finally had enough with Sasuke's probing. Dropping his bag and turning to face Sasuke, Naruto ran up to Sasuke grabbed his shirt collar and threw him against the wall of the building they were passing (A/N Not like throw as in throw a rock but grabbing him and moving him against the wall real fast.).
"You wanna know why Sasuke? Because my father beat me for singing! He told me it was a waste of time and that I should do something better like train for sports!" Said Naruto, with a tone in his voice that could only be classified as rage. With this Sasuke smirked and asked. "Do you live with him?"
"What do you mean live with him? Of course I don't!" Yelled Naruto.
"Then why are you still following his rules?" asked Sasuke. Naruto stopped and thought about this for a moment.
"Because it brings back bad memories..." He said barely whispering. As he started to calm down he let go of Sasuke's collar.
"Well if I were you I would sing." Said Sasuke as he looked at Naruto.
"You're just saying that so that I join your band." Naruto spat back with annoyance.
"No I'm serious if I was beaten for playing my guitar and then was handed a chance to play and not get hit for it I would take it." Sasuke casually replied.
"Why?" Was all Naruto could say.
"Because I would want to do all I could to piss off the person that used to beat me. I mean what better way to get back at them than to do the one thing they wouldn't let me do." Sasuke replied matter-of-factly. Naruto took time to consider what Sasuke said. It did seem like a perfect revenge...and on top of that with the restraining order on his father he could use this chance to provoke his father and get him arrested. But Naruto wanted to make sure it was ok with Iruka.
"Tell you what Sasuke...I'll agree to think about it if you promise to stop asking me." Naruto stated.
"Deal! As long as you promise to think about it ok?" Sasuke said as he shook Naruto's hand to seal the deal. With that Sasuke finally left Naruto and went to his own house.
(-Naruto's House-)
"I'm home." Naruto called out as he entered his home. When he was greeted with silence he wasn't surprised. "Looks like Iruka is still at work." He said with a sigh.
As Naruto walked to the kitchen he set his bag on the kitchen table went to the fridge and got himself a soda. When he returned to the table he opened his bag and pulled out his homework. "Man why does Orochimoru always have to give such large assignments...oh well, thank God I have all weekend to do it. Like Iruka always says "No time like the present." And with that Naruto started to work on his homework (A/N Like all the little children of the world.)
(-Five minutes later-)
Five minutes later Naruto was in the living room playing Ninja Gaiden on his X-Box. "But, like I said I have all weekend to do it." (A/N Much more realistic.)
(-Sasuke's house-)
As Sasuke walked into his house he headed straight for his room. When he entered his room Sasuke grabbed his phone off the dresser and did a three- way with Shikamaru and Neji.
"Alright guys Naruto is going to think about joining us." He said getting right to the point.
"Think!? But, we need him in order to be a real band!" Shikamaru stated.
"Just be glad he's at least thinking about it and isn't saying no anymore." Neji replied coolly. "So Sasuke how did you get Naruto to crack?"
"Well I finally got him to tell me his reason for not wanting to sing and aimed for all the weak spots in his reason." Sasuke stated.
"Did he have a good reason?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah, but it's not my place to tell you what it was. I bet that when Naruto is ready he'll share his reason with you guys as well." Sasuke said.
"That's cool...crap sorry Sasuke my mom wants me to help with dinner. Catch you later." Neji said as he hung up the phone.
"Yeah I have to go to if I don't finish my homework I won't be able to practice with you and Neji later on." Shikamaru said as he too hung up his phone.
When Neji and Shikamaru had both hung up Sasuke laid down on his bed and looked up at the ceiling. "If Naruto does join us...he's going to need some samples to work with." And with that Sasuke got up and headed downstairs intent on finding something to eat. But, all he could think about was that this was going to be an interesting weekend...
(-End of Chapter 7-)
Ok did you like? Since it is 2:20 right now I'm going to bed and I'll write the next chapter later today. Also once again I apologize for my tardiness with updating. Thanks to this chapter I think I have overcome my case of writers block. Also for those interested about the prologue it will be a SasuSaku fic until the end but, because of that this fic won't have SasuSaku. One more final note I'll be rewriting chapter 1 because I just don't like it. So until I get chapter 8 written, I'll see you all later.
