Chapter Twenty Five

LIVE! At the concert

It was 9:00am on Saturday the 16th in Decemeber, when Sasuke and Naruto heard they will sing live.

"I talked to my cousin, and she will let us in, and you guys can play with your band!" Sakura said. "Awsome! Thanks Sakura!" Naruto said. Sasuke nodded.

"By the way, what is your band's name again?" Sakura asked. "Melphabous." Naruto said proudly. Sasuke smacked Naruto in the back of the head. "Its Melphious idiot." he said.

"What ever! Neji was the one with the name. Anywho, I should get going eh? Sasuke looks like he wants to eat me alive." Naruto said, and quickly left. Sasuke sighed. "He ate everything in my house.." he muttered. Sakura giggled.

Sakura turned to close the door, but she saw Temari walking past Sasuke's house. "Hey! Temari! Whats with your hair!" Sakura yelled. Sasuke popped his head beside Sakura, to see what she as talking about. Temari's hair was in two pony tails...

"Sakura!"

"MADOKA! HI!"

"Sup!"

"NOTHING MUCH! I MISSED YOU!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, and clapped his hand onto Sakura's loud mouth. "Will you shut up?" he said. Sakura glared at him, then smiled at Madoka, when she walked over.

Indeed, she really looked like Temari. Even her own cousin thought it was Temari. Sasuke eyed her.

"What? Oh..are you Sakura's beloved?" Madoka asked smirking. Sasuke blushed lightly, and nodded. "Aa...nice Sakura." Madoka winked. "So, you are...Sasuke right?" Madoka asked. Sasuke nodded. "Band leader?" Sasuke nodded once more. "Thought so. The rebel type, eh? Quiet, and calm, yet protective of things important to him..didnt think Sakura would go for a type like you." Madoka said.

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow. Sakura's cousin...is...just...plain weird...

"Uh...moving on...cant wait till the concert tonight!" Sakura said. Madoka smiled. "Yeah. Oh, and you guys will be needing these." Madoka said, getting out cards.

"Cool! Thanks!" Sakura said. "We go backstage?" Sasuke asked. Madoka nodded. "Can I see your eqiupment?" Madoka asked. Sasuke nodded. He got his guitar. Madoka nodded.

"Interesting." she said. Sasuke put it back in it's case. "Are you in a band?" Sasuke asked. "Yeah. Im the singer, and Sai is guitar. We have a drum player...but he couldnt make it, so yeah, we will have to choose the songs with out the drums..which is...not very much.." Madoka said scratching the back of her head.

"Oh! Naruto plays the drums! Maybe you could ask him?" Sakura asked. "Well, we gotta see if he can play the part." Madoka said.

"Sai..." Sasuke muttered. "Yeah. His name is Sai. You know him?" Madoka asked. Sasuke shook his head quickly. Well, now I know she can hear well...

"Just thought...his name sounds familiar..." Sasuke said. Sakura nodded. "Oh! Right! Kakashi sensei said that a boy named Sai will be coming to our school after the break." Sakura said. Sasuke nodded.

"Oh, yeah. Which is...I will have to find another guitar player back in England. Sai is 17. So, yeah, he will come to your school.." Madoka said. SILENCE...

"Right...well...see you guys tonight!" Madoka said, and left.

6:50PM

"HOLY! I LOVE BACKSTAGE!" Naruto yelled. "Shut up will you?" Gaara said. Sasuke spotted Madoka, and poked Sakura, to inform her.

"Oh. Hi Madoka!" Sakura waved. Madoka smiled. "Hey. So, these are your friends? Who is the band people?" Madoka asked. Gaara, Naruto, Neji, and Sasuke stepped forward.

"I see. Sweet. You guys seem like the band type. So, what cha gonna play?" Madoka asked. Tenten stepped forward, smiling.

"I, me, Tenten write their songs! They are gonna play, Swallowed by the sea! Yes indeed! I wrote it! They are really going to play that! Yes!" Tenten said proudly.

Neji sweatdropped, and dragged Tenten away, to see other stuff.

"Um...yeah...Im gonna go get ready, then yeah, after our song, you guys will play, then yeah...okay. bye!" Madoka said.

Tenten ooohhed and aahheed the plugs. Neji sighed. "Did you have sugar?" he asked. "What ever do you mean!" Tenten said, zooming up to Neji's face, with big eyes. Neji backed away. "Uh...nothing...I think...Tenten, your on crack..." Neji said, putting up his hands in defence from Tenten slowly following him.

Neji ran off to the band. But he spotted someone, with a guitar. Short black hair, but not that short. It went up to his neck, from the back. (a/n: suck at explaing sai)

He had gloves on, that were cut half way up to his fingers. His right arm sleeve, was longer than the left arm sleeve. His bangs werent long enough to cover his eyes very much. He looked up at Neji.

"Hi.." Neji said. "You must be Madoka's cousin." Sai said. Neji's eyes twitched. "Not her cousin. As you can see, Im not a girl. Im a friend of her cousin." Neji said. "Same thing." Sai said, smiling. "Right..." Neji said.

"Neji! How dare you run away!" Tenten said, hugging Neji. "My Neji bear! Dont run away from me!" Tenten said snuggling her face to his neck.

Neji blushed, pushing Tenten off. Sai stared at the two. "Tenten! Let go!" Neji said. Tenten let go, with puppy dog eyes. "Neji bear!" she said. Sai blinked, then just quietly left.

"Where did you guys go? Come on! Sakura's cousin is about to singggg!" Naruto yelled. "Come on Neji bear!" Tenten yelled, stars in her eyes, dragging Neji off.

(a/n: dont feel like writing Madoka's song)

The crowd cheered, but Naruto glared at them. "Naruto? Is there something wrong?" Hinata asked. "No..." Naruto said, taking a huge breath.

"YOU ROCK SAKURA'S COUSIN!" Naruto yelled. Apparantly, Naruto htought it was a yelling contest. Sasuke smacked him in the back of the head.

Gaara looked around. Naruto was yelling, Tenten was holding Neji's arm...really tightly...and Sasuke was just standing there, staring at Sai's guitar. Gaara sighed. "They really do suck.." he muttered.

"Sasuke!" Gaara yelled. But Sasuke couldnt hear through the crowd, and Naruto's cheers. Gaara rolled his eyes. He poked Temari. "PASS IT ON TO SASUKE!" Gaara yelled over the screams.

Temari yelled.

Temari, poke. Ino poke. Sakura poke. Shikaru poke. Sasuke poked

"What the hell?" Sasuke said. Shikamaru pointed to Gaara. Gaara was pointing his hands to back stage. Sasuke nodded. The song was about to end, and Melphious was about to start. After a couple of minutes, of pulling Tenten off of Neji, they ran backstage, and got their instruments ready.

"Thank you! Now, for a treat for my cousin's boyfriend, and his band. PLEASE WELCOME MELPHOIOUS!" Madoka yelled, and the crowd cheered.

"Holy shit...holy...hoo..h..." Naruto shakily, sat down on his drum chair thing. "Dont choke now Naruto. Just stare at Hinata." Gaara whispered. Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, hi. Our band is Melphious. At keyboard, we have Gaara. The sand man who is freakishly strange. At base guitar, we have Neji. White eyes quiet guy. Drums, is the loudest guy you will meet, Naruto, the dobe. And, Im Sasuke. Song, In the end."

It starts with one thing


I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time


All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away


It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go


I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
I tried so hard


In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)


Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)


You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I

Chorus

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know (2x) Chorus

The crowd roared, as Naruto clapped his drum sticks together, and...flung them out in the crowd. It hit a random guy in the eye, and the other one, hit him in the head.

"Uh..hehe...sorry!" Naruto scratched his head.

Madoka took the mike from Sasuke, and blabbed on, while Sai hooked up his guitar again, for the next song.

"You guys are that bad..for beginners.." Sai whispered to Sasuke. Sasuke glared at Sai's back, when he walked up forward.

Melphious, backed away, Sasuke still glaring at Sai.

"You guys were aswome!" Ino said. Naruto grinned. "We know!"

"Sasuke! You were soooo good!" Sakura said, hugging him. He didnt hug her back. "Sasuke? Is there something wrong? Whats with that face?" Sakura asked. "Nothing..." Sasuke muttered.

"Sasuke, I know there is something up! But, for now, we shall enjoy the concert!" Sakura said.

Around 9:50pm, the concert ended, leaving the gang tired.

"Sasuke? Could you pleeeeeasssseeeeeeeeeeee tell me whats on your mind?" Sakura asked sweetly. They were alone in his car, Sasuke driving to Sakura's house.

"Its that Sai guy...I dont like him.." Sasuke muttered. "Sai huh? Make another enemy or something?" Sakura said, sighing. "It was his fault! He insulted Melphious." Sasuke said, turing the corner. "Okay, okay. I believe you. He did seem a bit strange. Well, to top it off, hes coming to class on Monday." Sakura said. "Great..." Sasuke said.

"But first! Christmas is next Sunday! Yay! One more week of break!" Sakura said. Sasuke came to a stop. "Here we are. Night Sakura." Sasuke said, hands on the wheel, and staring at it. Sakura cocked an eyebrow. "Is this your first time dropping me off at night?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke nodded, his bangs covering his eyes. "Aww! How cute! Your just sitting there, dont know what to do!" Sakura said. "So, are you gonna open the door, and leave or not?" Sasuke asked, being as shy as ever.

"Aww! Soon! But first.." Sakura said, leaning in to Sasuke. She kissed him on the cheek, since he was a bit shy tonight. Sakura smiled, seeing a hint of blush on his face. "Night Sasuke." Sakura said, blowing him a kiss.
