Vindicated
Today was the night, the night that Naruto's hopes of being with Sakura is diminished. She was going to marry Sasuke and this was their engagement party. As the best man he had to be there. He knew that Sakura could have never loved him like Sasuke, so he was going to be happy for them. Grin and bear it as usual jsut for her. The party was held at the Jounin bar reserved especially for tonight. Naruto entered the bar and was greeted by Ino and Shikamaru.
"Hey Naruto" said Ino.
"Hello Ino, Shika," said Naruto, quite soullessly. Shikamaru looked worried and knew what it was.
"Oh Crybaby," said a female sand nin. Ino twitched. Naruto left before he got into one of Ino and Temari's fights over Shika ...lucky bastard. Naruto said hi to those who greeted him, like Team 8, Teme Gai, Gaara, Kakashi. Naruto walked over to the bar and was greeted by the bartender.
"The usual Uzumaki," said the girl. She was no older the 15 and somehow got a job here and saw Naruto a lot. She had black hair and red eyes and wore all black Naruto began a habit of coming here after the day was over, unless he had a long term mission.
"Not tonight,"
"Ah, my brother's band is playing tonight," said the bartender, "Maybe I could get you in to sing a song. Sakura that girl you like is getting married to the Uchiha kid."
"Maybe I take you on the offer of the drink," sighed Naruto.
"You got it," said the girl and she whipped up him a drink in no time.
"Dobe, you better not be getting drunk tonight," said the voice of the one and only Sasuke.
"I'm not," said Naruto.
"Hey, girl I need...,"
"One Martini and a bloody Mary," said the girl, "I remember you and you girl came here before."
"Right," grumbled Sasuke. She handed it to him.
"Uzumaki my brother is in the back," said the girl. Naruto finished his drink, quite fast I might add and went back stage. He saw the band getting ready.
"You Uzumaki Naruto," said a guy who looked similar to the bartender. He instead of red eyes he had black.
"I am,"
"You got a song you want to sing,"
"Yes,"
"Wanna go first?"
"Yes,"
"Okay,"
"Do you have the music?"
"Here,"
The buy walked on the stage with his band and finished setting up and the curtain went up and the crowd cheered.
"Welcome tonight everyone to the engagement party of Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Now, before the band plays we have a guest singer. Please welcome Uzumaki Naruto." Silence came over the crowd. None knew Naruto could sing except Shikamaru, which is a whole other story. Music began to play with Naruto at the microphone.
"Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated
(Chorus)
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that
(Chorus)
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away 3x
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away
(Chorus)
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption..." Naruto sang.
It was to Sakura and about how his hope for them to be together is gone. Naruto hopped off the stage past everyone and left as the band started playing.
Brothers and sisters unite
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
Break down, break down
Gotta spread love around
Gotta spread it around
Brothers and sisters feel fine
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
No sound, no sound
Like this feeling you've found
Like this feeling you've found
But just stay down
'Cos some sounds you'll feel
So stay down
And some sounds you'll feel
And it's me they're looking for
And it's me
I will never survive
But we'll be around some more
Brothers and sisters unite
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
Break down, break down
Gotta spread love around
Gotta spread it around
But just stay down
And some sounds you'll feel
So stay 'round
And some sounds you'll feel
And it's me they're looking for
And it's me
I will never survive
But we'll be around some more
it's gonna be alright (x 3)
