N/A: Yeah, I know you've all been dying to find about Sasuke and I know that using the excuse "I've been busy" is pretty lame. So just forgive me for not updating and making you wait so long. I just want to tell you guys to wait for the next chapters I plan on making more guest appearances by other anime characters. So just leave a review if you want anyone special to make a cameo. Anyway enjoy this new chapter.
Chapter 2
After Naruto's interesting performance the whole Karaoke bar seemed to come alive. The formerly bored ninjas seemed excited and hungry for the next performance.
"I didn't know Naruto could sing so well!" Lee exclaimed as he finally jumped off his chair and returned to his seat. He was red and panting from all the cheering. Neji and Tenten both nodded in agreement.
"That means Lee we must also make our performance the highlight of the evening!" Gai announced. There was a fire burning in his eyes and he was making a fist with this hand. "This is what we'll do…" Gai started to whisper into Lee's ears their glorious plans.
"Yes. Yes. I got that…" Lee listened carefully while taking notes on everything Gai-sensei said. Neji and Tenten reverted back to rolling their eyes and wishing that Gai and Lee weren't so weird.
At the next table Hinata was still in wide-eyed shock. She was sitting alone with Kiba because Kurenai and Shino went to order some sodas for them. Finally she turned to her Teammate. "Kiba, W-Where did Naruto-kun go? D-Do you think that he's alright?" She whimpered softly to the dog boy.
Before Kiba had a chance to comfort the distraught Hinata, Naruto came running from out of nowhere.
"Awwwww! I'm sorry I stole your theme song!" Naruto screamed has he ran around being chased by an aggressive pokemon trainer and an equally aggressive yellow pokemon.
"I'll show you to mess with the future best pokemon trainer…" Ash was cut off and with a blink of an eye the pokemon trainer and the yellow mouse stopped chasing Naruto.
"Huh?" Naruto scratched his head and surveyed the karaoke bar for the missing pokemon trainer. Naruto's mouth dropped to the floor and his eyes turned pupil-less.
"Hi. I'm Ash Ketchum. My greatest dream is to become the best pokemon trainer ever. I like long walks on the beach, rice balls, and pokemon fights. Do you like my pikachu?" Ash was introducing himself to a blushing Hinata and showing her his yellow pokemon.
"Hey, buddy. Stop disturbing Hinata. She's not interested, alright?" Kiba exclaimed. Akamaru barked in agreement.
Ash turned his attention from Hinata to Kiba and Akamaru. "That's an ugly looking pokemon. I guess he looks just like his owner." The pokemon trainer announced flatly as frowned at Akamaru.
"How dare you! How dare insult my dog!" Kiba yelled angrily as he pointed a finger at Ash. "He didn't mean it Akamaru…he didn't mean it…" Kiba cooed at Akamaru while he lightly stroked his dog's fur.
"I did mean it. There is only one thing left to do! I, Ash Ketchum, challenge you to a pokemon fight!" Ash made a flashy pose with a pokeball in his right hand and pikachu on his shoulder.
"Even though I have on idea what that is Akamaru and I accept your challenge!" Kiba announced as he slammed his two hands onto the round table.
"Ummm…you guys don't have to do this…uh…" Hinata didn't want anyone fighting over her. She nervously watched the two boys.
"Stay out of this!" Kiba and Ash both yelled at Hinata in unison. Hinata quietly whimpered in her seat as she opted to stay silent.
"Good." Ash imitated Kiba and stared into the eyes of his new opponent. As they stared at each other electricity surged out of their eyes.
Ash and Kiba stared at each other for a full five minutes. "Ummm, you can stop the electricity pikachu. We're done with the dramatic staring scene." Ash muttered to pikachu. The mouse pokemon smiled an apologetic grin.
Naruto watched the whole incident but didn't even try to prevent it. If that pokemon trainer dude was too busy fighting with Kiba then he must have forgotten about Naruto stealing his theme song. Quietly he slipped back the round table that Sakura was sitting in.
"Naruto, I have to admit you were pretty good." Sakura greeted Naruto as he dropped into the seat next to her.
"You really think so? Hey, where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he looked around for his stoic teammate.
Sakura casually shrugged. "I don't know. He disappeared after you started to sing. He said something about he wanted his own theme sing or something."
Suddenly a there was a loud squeak of a microphone that came from the stage. The energized crowd happily looked up. The current atmosphere of joy seemed to come to a crashing halt as they saw who was standing on the stage. It was Uchiha Sasuke, the melodramatic vengeful ninja boy.
"Sasuke!" Sakura squeaked. Her eyes turned into hearts and she completely forgot about Naruto.
"Hello everyone. So I was thinking about what song to sing but then I remembered that I don't know any songs." Sasuke composedly spoke into the microphone. "I mean between running away form rabid fan girls and training to KILL ME BROTHER, ITACHI!" Sasuke twitched and shouted violently when he mentioned Itachi. He muttered a quick apology and continued. "Sorry. Anyway since I am so busy I really don't have anytime to listen to music."
"Wow, I wonder what Sasuke's going to sing." Naruto muttered to himself as he watched intently.
"Sasuke…" Sakura and Ino said I unison as they bother started to drool.
Temari and Kankurou looked like they would fall out of their seats out of surprise, even Gaara seemed slightly interested.
Gai and Lee stopped planning long enough and stared at awe at Sasuke, while Neji and Tenten stared wide-eyed.
Chouji started to eat slower, Asuma stopped smoking and let his cigarette hang from his mouth, and Shikamaru lifted an eyebrow.
Shino and Kurenai stood at the bar holding two bottles of soda each. They forgot to return to their table as watched the stoic ninja boy.
The table of men in trench coats all stopped whispering to each other and watched Sasuke attentively.
The only people who didn't seem affected were Hinata, Ash, and Kiba since they had their own things happening at their table.
"Then I remembered a movie that my brother, THE BROTHER THAT I WILL ONE DAY KILL!" Sasuke had another aggressive outburst at the mention of his brother. The raven haired ninja coughed and redeemed his composure. "There was a movie that I watched when I was a kid and I just remembered that MY SADISTIC GOOD-FOR-NOTHING-BUT-KILLING-THE-ENTRIE-CLAN brother and I loved the theme song of it. So I just thought that I would sing it since it's the only song I know." Sasuke put his head down as he waited for the music to start. (Reflection by Christina Aguilera starts playing)
Sasuke sang in a low velvety voice. He had his eyes closed and he held the microphone tightly in his hands as he sang.
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Reflection? The Theme song of Disney's Mulan? Sasuke's favorite song from when he was a kid? The only song Sasuke knew? Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He started to laugh like crazy. His fisting were pounding mercilessly at the table and his eyes were welling up with tears. Naruto was laughing so hard he was having trouble breathing. He ended up on the flooring red and gasping for breath between high pitched laugher. Naruto continued to laugh as Sasuke sang his heartfelt ballad.
Who is that girl...I mean boy... I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
Sakura and Ino both ran up to the stage. They both had hearts in their eyes and they were both drooling like rabid dogs. They didn't seem to care what Sasuke was singing as long as it was Sasuke that was singing.
Ash had his hand on Kiba's collar, Kiba had his hands around Ash's neck, pikachu was sitting on Kiba's head, and Akamaru was biting Ash's pants. But they all stopped fighting to watch Sasuke sing reflection. Meanwhile Hinata looked like she was about to faint.
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Chouji started to choke on his food, Asuma let the cigarette in his lmouth fall out, Shikamaru actually sat up straight to get a better view and make sure he wasn't dreaming.
Meanwhile at the counter Shino and Kurenai both stood speechless. In utter shock their sodas slwoly bottles slipped out of their hands and smashed onto the floor. But the stunned pair didn't even seem to notice.
Who is that girl, uh...boy… I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
Neji, Tenten, Gai, and Lee all stared is disbelief. "Is this real? Somebody hit me…" Lee announced without taking his eyes off Sasuke. Neji quickly punched Lee in the face sending him the floor. Upon impact of the floor Lee laid unconscious on the floor, his whole team didn't even notice because of their shock.
There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Temari stood frozen not believing what she was witnessing and Kankurou actually fell out of his chair. Even Gaara actually looked surprised at the singing Sasuke. The four men in trench coats on the other hands were all crying because of the beauty of the song.
Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
"Umm…Thank you." Sasuke finished the sing and did a quick bow.
The whole bar was silent except for the sound of chirping crickets. Everyone stared in shock except for Naruto (He was silently laughing on the floor while clutching his stomach), Sakura and Ino (They were silently drooling at Sasuke), Lee (He was lying on the floor unconscious), and the four men in trench coats. The four men seemed captivated by Sasuke's song. One of them started a slow clap. One by one almost the whole karaoke bar joined in. The bar was filled with applause.
"Hah! Beat that Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he absorbed the round of applause. With another quick bow Sasuke jumped off the stage feeling extremely proud of himself.
He was quickly ambushed by Sakura and Ino. "You were great Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed.
Ino hastily pushed Sakura to the side. "Yeah I didn't you were such a great singer." Ino batted her eyes and smiled sweetly.
Sakura made a fist, her anger was raising. "I was talking to Sasuke first Ino-pig!" Sakura screamed her veins popping out of her head.
"Sasuke wants to talk to me not you big forehead!" Ino yelled back in rage as she pressed her forehead against Sakura's big one.
Both girls stared at each other in irritation and fury. In their anger they didn't even noticed that Sasuke had already left them.
"There is only one way to settle this." Sakura announced as she cracked her knuckles and shook her head from left to right.
"What? A fight to the death?" Ino retorted angrily.
"No. That's the only way to settle this." Sakura pointed at the empty Karaoke stage.
