Previously on Band Rivals-

Damn! Why does she like Sasuke! I'm so pissed! Sigh. I better leave, or I'll be late for class... Why does Sasuke act like this just because we became famous over the school?

Neji thought to himself before he gathered his things and left for his next class.

( Ending of School)

Neji was walking through the school building in thought so he was minding any fan-girl that came by him.

Why has Sasuke changed so much? Sasuke never used to act like this until the band started getting a lot of recognition. Why Sasuke why! Neji thought out trying to make sense out of something so senseless.

" Neji-san!" a girl with fiery red hair came by Neji almost knocking him down.

"I wanted to know if you were going to practice today? If not then we could hang out or something!" she said in a cheerful voice.

Neji smiled at her and thanked her mentally.

" Sorry Kia but I have to practice with the band, If Sasuke shows up this time. You know how he gets preoccupied with the fame so he misses practice most of the time and blames us for the fact that the music doesn't come out right." Neji said getting a bit ticked off because he remembered what happened the week before.

( flash back)

Neji, Ino, Naruto, and Kiba were waiting for the leader of "Chidori" to arrive. Neji was messing with his DJ equipment while the others just began to talk about why sasuke probably wasn't there.

All of a sudden they hear the door to the gym room slide open. It was Sasuke!

" Dude where were you! You are two hours late!" Neji said coming up tp Sasuke while Sasuke just turned to the other side ignoring what his friend had asked.

" Look let's just hurry up and practice! We don't have all day guys!" sasuke said as he grabbed the microphone but Neji slapped it out of his hand.

" Listen to me! I was just asking you a question!" Neji shouted at Sasuke who now glared at the Hyuuga.

" This isn't your band Neji, so mind your own business! If you want to know that bad I was hanging out with some chick I thought was pretty good in playing bass. I was thinking of replacing some of you because you are lazy." sasuke said in a nasty tone.

" Now get your ass ready to practice the song and quit kissing ass!" sasuke said as he got the microphone back. Neji was pissed but didn't question Sasuke.

( End of Flashback)

" Neji-san...I really think you shouldn't take that from him! Quit the band and make your own. Sasuke has become a real ass!" Kia said with concern in her voice.

" Kia, I know you care about me but I think Sasuke isn't a complete jerk! He's just a spoiled child who wants to be better than his famous brother Itachi." Neji said giving her a soft stare.

"Neji-san you're like an older brother to me, that's why I'm looking out for you. But what ever you think is right I'm good with." said Kia in a happy tone. She began to walk away from Neji until she was out of his sight.

Neji smiled at Kia even after she had left, then he turned to leave to the gym to get ready for rehearsal

(In the Gym).

When Neji had finally arrived in the gym he was ten minutes late but only Ino, Kiba and Naruto were there. Sasuke had still not shown up.

" Hey guys! Sorry I was late!" Neji said as he put up one hand as if he were to five a high five to them. This is was his way of saying " hi!".

" Hey there Neji-kun! We wanted to know if you saw Sasuke on your way over here?" Ino said as she came closer to Neji. Neji knew something like this would happen. Sasuke is off making his name even bigger while leaving his friends to do his back up.

" I think we should practice without Sasuke!" Kiba shouted out. Ino, Naruto and Neji looked at Kiba as though he was crazy.

" You know Neji normally doesn't show up until two hours has passed! Anyway Neji here can do vocals as well. C'mon Neji! You know all of the vocals. I hear you practicing at lunchtime everyday. Just give it a try." Kiba persuaded Neji to sing.

" I guess Kiba is right, Neji you should do the vocals while Sasuke is gone." Naruto said in a straight forward voice while walking up to Neji. Naruto put his hand on Neji shoulder which made Neji turn around.

" Neji...please do this...I'm asking you..." Ino said while trying to hide her blush. Neji looked at Ino and knew this was really making her get embarrassed because she liked Sasuke and for her to ask something so big from him would make her feel a bit awkward.

" S-sure!" Neji said while raising his head up form all the confidence and reassurance.

" Alright We'll start with Arch Type Enemy okay guys?" Neji asked before they started. All of them turned to him and nodded.

" Alright then! Let's start!" Neji instructed while all of them began to test out the instruments and signaled that they were all ready.

Naruto starts playing the drums heavily then he is joined by Ino playing the bass and Kiba playing the guitar.

Neji, Kiba and Naruto hum slightly " huumm" for three times and then Neji begins to sing in a deep and monestrous voice ( You know heavy metal rock!)

You must never regret


The essence of your spark


All of that which will make it


Is the essence of your youth

This disaster has been proof

( Guitars begin to get heavier along with the drumming and the bass)


That none of these bitches have been right!

( Neji is now making his voice deeper while the tone is getting heavier)

So Wake up-"

As Neji is about to sing the verse Sasuke comes in and disconnects the stuff.

" What the hell do you think you're doing Neji! This is my group! You are only the DJ player!" Sasuke said furiously.

" Get out Neji! You are out of this band! Leave!" Sasuke shouted at Neji.

Neji and the other stood quiet. Neji then spoke up.

" Fine, I'll leave Sasuke but I will make a new band that will beat your to fame and we'll do it the right way!" Neji said as he walked out and slammed the door behind him.
