Chapter 7: Jealous Thoughts

………

Uzumaki Naruto had done a few stupid things in his seventeen years of life. Make that a lot. He'd regretted everyone later though, especially after a hangover. But this time it wasn't a mistake. He was sure that he wanted to do this. It was as if he was starting over his life and everything was going right so far. His date with Hyuuga Hinata, this band thing, all the friends he'd made already.

Fixing the collar of his orange button-up shirt, Naruto smiled at his band mates. Shikamaru, Neji, and… wait where the hell was Sasuke? "Naruto, where's Uchiha?" The pearl eyed boy asked noticing the absence of their vocalist. "I dunno. Let's go set up and wait for a few minutes," the bouncy blond said grabbing the boy's guitar cases. Shikamaru gave a small smile at the blonde's enthusiasm and stuffed his hands in the pockets of the pants he wore.

Sasuke groaned rolling over in his bed. Opening his eyes slowly he scanned the room yawning. Everything seemed to be in place. Turning his black eyes to the girl beside him, he moved closer to her. She smelled like strawberries which kind of made him smirk. Sakura buried herself deeper into the pillow smiling in her slumber. "Sakura?" he whispered in her ear waiting patiently for her to open her eyes. "Hmm?" the girl asked waking up from her sleep yawning. Sitting up, Sasuke smirked down at her. "Get up," the raven haired boy ordered getting up out of the bed. Well, he tried…

What came over her? She had knocked the boy back onto the bed beside her. His head was now laying in her lap and the endless pools of black he called eyes stared up at her completely confused. "Do we have to get up?" she whined cocking her head to the side innocently. Sasuke smirked and answered sarcastically, "No, Sakura, we're gonna stay in mybed and sleep because we have no lives." Sakura must have not caught the sarcasm or just plain ignored it because she nodded her head vigorously. The black haired teen rolled his eyes and gave in, just a couple of minutes. 'as Shikamaru would put it… I'm whipped,' Sasuke thought, mentally kicking himself for being stupid. But come on! She was cute sitting in his bed like that. When strands of her new hair cut fell into her face, she brushed them behind her ear, which made butterflies appear in Sasuke's stomach.

Taking his chances, he slowly lifted his face closer to Sakura's before his lips lightly brushed against her cheek. He pulled back to see her reaction and was shocked to find her face become ten shades of red. Whatever happened to not kissing a bastard? Smiling warmly at her friend, Sakura pushed Sasuke's head back down onto her lap where she messed with his silky, raven locks. Sasuke yawned and closed his eyes enjoying the time he was spending with the cherry blossom.

Walking silently through the empty dirt path, no words were exchanged between the three girls. Ino had her arms folded over her chest, slightly leading the way, and she kept her eyes glued on the path before her. Ten-Ten was kicking rocks and Hinata twiddled her fingers together trying to think of something to say. "H-how much longer until we reach S-Sakura's home?" Hinata asked, her voice slightly above a whisper which irritated Ino to no end. "Just a few more minutes. And please try to talk louder and not stutter. You sound stupid when you talk like that," Ino said irritably. Nodding, the Hyuuga teen followed along, her head down, staring at her feet. Feeling a tug on her hand, the pearl eyed girl looked through the clearing to see a snow white house with ivy growing along the sides of it. "We're here!" Ino announced smiling brightly. Ten-Ten sighed, they'd been walking for who knew how long and her feet were getting tired.

Knocking on the door, the three girls could hear the faint echo throughout the house. A few seconds later, a gruff old man, who looked like he hadn't shaved in a while, answered the door. His eyes narrowed upon them and he inquired, "Where's my daughter? She better not be off with that Hyuuga boy." There was so much venom in his voice when he said the word 'Hyuuga' that Hinata bowed her head ashamed. Sensing this, the light haired girl with baby blue eyes took up for her friend saying, "Neji is a very sweet guy. He'd never take advantage of Sakura or anyone else. And we're very sorry to disturb you, but we were looking for Sakura just now." Mr. Haruno leaned against the doorframe and sighed. Moving aside, he motioned with his hands for them to come in. "I think I know where she is," the middle aged man said, picking up the phone he dialed a number Ino recognized right away.

While waiting for someone to answer, the cherry blossom's father explained, "When she was little, Sakura and her mother visited the Uchihas all the time. Then when the girl got mad at us she'd say she was running away to live with her 'boyfriend' as she put it." The Yamanaka smiled, this was a good way to blackmail Sakura one day.

"Hello," Sasuke answered picking up the phone that lay in his bedroom floor. His onyx orbs landed on the sleeping figure on his bed which made him smirk a little. "Yeah, Sakura's here," he replied into the phone as he saw Sakura shift and open her jade eyes. Yawning she stretched and asked, "Who is it?" Sasuke handed her the phone and mouthed that it was her father.

"Hi, dad," she greeted sourly. Running her finger along the stitches in the quilt she listened to her father. Looking at the calendar, she remembered Naruto's little message to meet at the school gym today. "Tell them to meet at the Konoha High's gym in a few minutes, kay? Bye." Clicking the off button on the phone she searched the room for her raven haired friend only to find he had already left the room. Getting up off the bed, she looked through the house for Sasuke.

She found him tying his shoes in the living room a few minutes later. A guitar case sat in a chair across from him and she wondered why he'd need it. "I didn't know you played," Sakura muttered taking a seat beside the seventeen year old Sasuke. He looked up at her bangs covering his pale face. "I play guitar, write lyrics and sing," he answered as if it were no big deal. "Really?" the cherry blossom squealed. Wincing, Sasuke almost regretted he told her. "Sing me something you've written," she pleaded big green eyes growing wide and sparkly. Shaking his head, the ivory skinned boy bluntly replied, "No."

Pouting, the flower laid her head on his shoulder and whined, "Please sing for me, Sasuke." Sighing, the boy closed his eyes, afraid that if he looked at her he'd give in. "C'mon, we've gotta go and meet Naruto," he said monotonously offering the girl his hand. Taking it, the pink haired teen reluctantly dropped the subject about Sasuke's singing talents. She'd get him to sing for her and only her one of these days.

Three Weeks Later...

"Okay, so we've been practicing every afternoon for three weeks and played a few gigs at some parties," Naruto announced looking at the people in the room. Neji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke sat on the couch all rolling their eyes. The parties had been a few birthday parties for little kids Naruto was friends with, such as Inari and Konohamaru. Ten-Ten and Ino sat on the ground, bored, picking at the carpet while Hinata was smiling at her blonde friend. "So I thought it was time to get a manager. He's willing to listen to us play and then he's gonna set up a few gigs if we're appealing," Naruto finished his announcement with a wide smile.

An Hour Later...

"So where is this guy? We've been waiting for an hour and he hasn't shown up," Sasuke asked. If you said he was irritated slightly that would be an understatement. It was more or less that he was pissed to no end. Scratching the back of his, completely confused, the bouncy blonde shrugged replying, "He said he was going to come soon. Probably a long meeting since he is kind of famous." Sakura walked in at that moment, bag of take-out food in hand, as she said, "There's this really hot guy outside looking for you, Naruto." Suddenly, a hint of jealousy arose within Sasuke as he looked past the cherry blossom and at the man walking in behind her.

He was tall and sort of cute in an odd way. Spiky whitish silver hair, his left eye had been covered up by his bangs, and half o f his face was covered by his turtle neck. "Sorry I'm late. There was this black cat that crossed my path so I had to take the long way," the man said a hint of playfulness added to his voice. Sakura sat down beside Sasuke and whispered into his ear, "He may be good looking but he is the worst liar I've ever seen." The man stood in front of Naruto and outstretched his hand, signaling for Naruto to shake it, "Hatake Kakashi of the famous 'Paranoia Records'. I assume you're Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto flashed him a wide smile and introduced, "I am the one and only Uzumaki Naruto. This is my band: Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, and Hyuuga Neji. The others are fan girls and groupies." Ten-Ten, Sakura and Ino glared at the blond while Hinata only sweat dropped. Kakashi smiled and asked, "What is your band's name? You never mentioned it." The fox-like boy turned to the guys and asked, "What was our name again!" Neji sighed while Shikamaru muttered about how troublesome Naruto was sometimes. The raven haired vocalist was the one who answered, "It was 'Sharingan', loser." Sticking his tongue out, Naruto flipped the boy off before turning back to Kakashi. "You ready to hear us play!" The white haired man smiled, they assumed by the way he crinkled his eye, and nodded.

Naruto picked up his drum sticks happily waiting, which was new, for the others to get ready. Sasuke looked bored as he stood there plucking his guitar strings, and keeping his eye on Sakura. She was sitting by the stupid white haired man. Was he the only sane person who noticed that dumb perverted book he was carrying? If Kakashi dares to lay a finger on his cherry blossom he'd- "Are you ready, Sasuke?" Shikamaru asked lazily knocking the raven haired boy out of his murderous thoughts. Nodding, the vocalist took the microphone in hand and said, "This is a song called 'Blue and Yellow'."

The band started playing their instruments softly until Sasuke came in, "/It's all in how you mix the two. And it starts just where the light exists. It's a feeling that you cannot miss. It burns a hole through everyone that feels it. Well you're never gonna find it. If you're looking for it. Won't come your way, yeah. Well you'll never find it. If you're looking for it./" Shikamaru and Neji then repeated, "If you're looking for it." Sasuke stepped back up when Naruto started playing the drums louder. "/Should've done something but I've done it enough. By the way your hands were shaking. Rather waste some time with you./" Sasuke sang into the microphone.

Sakura smiled and turned to Kakashi querying, "Do you think you'll sign with them?" The silver-white haired man smiled and patted her head, replying, "I think they're good enough for my label." Sakura hugged the owner of 'Paranoia Records' and thanked him. This little scene seemed to affect a certain dark haired teen.

Walking back up to the microphone, Sasuke started the second verse, "/And you never would have thought it in the end. How amazing it feels just to live again. It's a feeling that you cannot miss. It burns a hole through everyone that feels it. Well you're never gonna find it. If you're looking for it. Won't come your way, yeah. Well you'll never find it. If you're looking for it./" He waited a few seconds, eyes still cold and distant from the scene he had watched just now, then sang the chorus, "/Should've done something but I've done it enough. By the way your hands were shaking. Rather waste some time with you. Should've said something but I've said it enough. By the way my words were faded. Rather waste some time with you./"

Ino cocked her head to the side, noticing the cold stare Sasuke was giving Sakura and Kakashi. Putting two-and-two together Ino smirked when she realized Sasuke was jealous. "What're you smirking about?" Ten-Ten asked while leaning over to get a better glimpse of the band. "I'll tell ya later."

Naruto drummed once more, signaling Sasuke to come in again, but Sasuke was late which made the other three confused. Luckily Kakashi and the girls hadn't noticed his lateness. But something else worried them even more. Sasuke's voice held a mix of anger and jealousy which surprised the band because they had never seen him this way before.

"/Should've done something but I've done it enough. By the way you're hands were shaking. Rather waste my time with you. Should've said something but I've said it enough. By the way my words were faded. Rather waste my time with you. Should've done something but I've done it enough. By the way my hands were shaking. Rather waste some time with you. Waste some time with you. Should've done something but I've done it enough. By the way your hands were shaking. Rather waste some time with you./" Sasuke finished, eyes cast downward.

Glancing at each other, Shikamaru asked Neji if he knew what was wrong with their lead singer. Neji shrugged as he watched Sasuke silently walk off stage. Sighing the two dismissed it for now as Naruto excitedly jumped off stage. "Did you like? Did you like?" Naruto yelled as the others were pretty sure that he could be heard from all over the country of Konohagakure. Kakashi tapped his index finger on his chin and said thoughtfully, "Hmm? I think… that Sharingan will be the next big thing." Pumping his fist into the air, the electric blue eyed blonde screamed, "Oh yeah! We rock!" Neji rolled his eyes and clamped a hand over the drummer's large mouth as he asked, "When do we start?" Hatake Kakashi thought for a moment then replied, "Come to my studio tomorrow at nine o' clock and don't be late. See you tomorrow then." Waving goodbye, the man disappeared before their eyes. "That… is how you make an exit," Shikamaru said in disbelief. Everyone else nodded… well, except the jealous Uchiha in the corner.

'Oh, shit, not this again,' Sasuke thought in disgust as Sakura was about to tell him more about the wonderfulness of Hatake Kakashi. "He's sponsored so many great bands, Sasuke!" she squealed, happily looking at the long list of big time bands under Paranoia Records. "He's not that great," Sasuke mumbled laying spread-eagle style on his bed. Sakura looked at him incredulously as she stated, "Not that great? He's done pretty well for himself. He's earned millions and every new band wants to sign with him! Now tell me what you think." Raising a finely shaped brow, Sasuke smirked and pulled the disbelieving girl down onto the bed beside him. Pinning her hands behind her head with one hand, he answered her question, "I still think he isn't that great."

Sakura mentally cursed herself when she felt her face heating up. His face was so close to hers and her hormones were acting strangely. If she didn't get a grip on her emotions soon, her and Sasuke would most likely be making-out on his bed in a matter of seconds. He smirked and she was beginning to feel the urge to wipe that smirk off his face at that moment. "S-Sasuke?" she stammered out as the boy leaned closer. "Hmm?" Sasuke asked, bangs shielding his black eyes. He straightened up and remained expressionless. He didn't want to do anything to her that she didn't want. "I think I should be getting home," Sakura said getting off the bed. He watched her hurriedly walk out and when he heard the door click, Sasuke fell back onto his bed. This week couldn't possibly get any worse.

"Are you serious!" Ten-Ten asked wide eyed. She couldn't believe it. THE Uchiha Sasuke was jealous of Hatake Kakashi. The boy that could have any girl he wanted was envious of some hot-shot millionaire. "Did you not see him today? He was glaring at him ever since the man stepped foot in the gym," Ino explained to her non-believing friends. "S-so does this mean… that he has a c-crush on Sakura?" Hinata asked shyly. Ino nodded and said, "We'll just have to do a little detective work then, won't we?" Ten-Ten smiled smugly and agreed, "I'm in this all the way! Hinata?" The Hyuuga lowered her head and gave in, "A-alright."

A/N: I, first, want to thank all of you for reviewing the last chapter. I love you for your support. Okay, there's you a lengthy-ish chapter of 'ADIL'. I hope you liked this as much as enjoyed writing it. I have a few little things to tell you about this fan fiction. Okay, I'm not a fan of 'Kakashi x Sakura' coupling so don't expect any or, if I put some in it, don't expect a lot. The sand siblings might make another appearance or so but nothing big. We'll find out if Ino's pregnant or not. More of a jealous Sasuke-kun! Dosu, Kin, and Zaku will show up in the next chapter, so expect some Zaku x Kin love! And I hate to say this but…

THE STORY IS COMING TO A DRAMATIC AND VERY UNEXPECTED ENDING!

Next chapter you'll get a slight spoiler of it at the very end of my author notes so keep reading on the next chapter! Read and Review. Love ya all!
