Summary 2: They were friends with a shared love of music. Nothing more. They all had secrets, but when the secrets came out, well let's say things didn't go as planned. Usual BG pairings and GaaraXOC

"Okay, time for bed!"
"But mom, we want a story."
"Tell us a story!"
"Please." The whining rang throughout the room.
"Okay, okay, what do you want to hear?"
"Uh…" the kids sat in thought.
"I know," one said triumphantly," tell the one about the bands.
"Yeah, that one."
"It's my favorite.
"But I've told it to you so many times before…"
"Please." The kids asked sweetly.
"Alright, alright. It was a time not too long ago…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It's the first time I've ever felt this lonely,
Wish someone would cure this pain...
It's funny when you think it's gonna work out...
Till you chose weed over me you're so lame
I thought you were cool until the point,
Up until the point you didn't call me when you said you would…
Finally figured out you're all the same,
Always coming up with some kind of story…
Every time I try to make you smile,
You're always feeling sorry for yourself…
Every time I try to make you laugh,
You can't your too tough…
You think you're loveless…
Is that too much that I'm askin for?
Thought you'd come around when I ignored you,
Sorta thought you'd have the decency to change…
But babe I guess you didn't take that warning,
'Cause I'm not about to look at your face again…
Can't you see that you lie to yourself?
You can't see the world through a mirror,
It won't be too late when the smoke clears…
'Cause I'm, I am still here……
But every time I try to make you smile,
You'd always go and feel sorry for yourself…
Every time I try to make you laugh,
You stand like a stone,
Alone in your zone…
Is that too much that I'm askin for?
Can't find where I am, lying here alone in fear,
Afraid of the dark, no one to claim alone again
Yeah, yeah……
Can't you see that you lie to yourself?
You can't see the world through a mirror,
It won't be too late when the smoke clears…
'Cause I'm, I am still here
Every time I try to make you smile,
You're always feeling sorry for yourself…
Every time I try to make you laugh,
You can't your too tough…
You think you're loveless…
It was too much that I asked him for..
(During the song)
"Those guys really hurt them," Naruto said softly to Sasuke and the other guys sitting on the couch listening.
"Yeah." Gaara echoed.
"So, you guys ready for the concert tonight?" Naruto asked happily.
"Keep it down Naruto," Sasuke hissed," what was the point of not telling them if you spill it now?"
"Don't worry idiot, they're too distracted to notice we even like them, how would they ever figure it out?"
"Naruto," Neji said dangerously.
"What, it's the truth. They were head over heels for those guys and the ones before that too. They've never noticed we've always been waiting. We're just, their friends."
"It's better than not having them at all." Sasuke replied.
"But," Naruto looked up at Hinata," it's not fair. If we told them, they'd be all over us."
"Which is why they'll never know, idiot." Sasuke answered.
"They need to like us." Gaara said.
"Not our image." Neji said.
"I still say it'd be easier."
"NO, love is always troublesome." Shikamaru said.
"That's true…" Naruto said, his sentence trailing off as the song ended.
"So, what do you guys think?" Sakura asked from the mike stand.
"Pretty good."
"Hn."
"I liked it, but…"
"I know," Ino said," it still needs a little work in the music."
"Ino and I have gotten most of it sorted out though, and Hinata's got the back-beat down." Tenten said.
"Yeah, well great for you," Saran huffed from her keyboards.
"What's wrong now?" Sakura asked with a sigh.
"This measure," Saran said," it sounds wrong."
"This one?" Gaara asked pointing to a spot on the music over her shoulder.
Saran nodded. "Gaara, when'd you…" Gaara was already walking back to the couch.
"Add in a A, that should fix it," he said as he sat down.
Saran played the revised measure. A smile lit onto her features.
"Better?" Gaara questioned.
"Perfect," Saran answered happily.
"Wow, look at the time," Naruto said glancing at the clock," We've got to go. Later Hinata." Naruto ran over and gave her a hug before leaving the room. Hinata hid her blush by lowering her head.
"Do you really?" Sakura asked whining and grabbing onto Sasuke's arm.
"Yeah," Sasuke pulled his arm away," Let's go guys."
"Okay."
They stood up to leave. "Sasuke," Sakura called after them. Sasuke stuck his head back in the doorway. "Uh...we'll see you tomorrow, right?"
"Of course, at school."
"Oh, right, later then."
"Later."
Sakura sighed as his head disappeared, "I'm never going to be able to do it," he moaned as she fell onto the couch.
"At least you've gotten closer than us," Tenten said.
"Y-y-yeah, at least you've tried." Hinata said.
"I just get so worried, you know?" Sakura said with a sigh. "All those, we're just friends thoughts start running through my head. I don't want them to leave us. They've helped our music so much…"
"We all fear that forehead," Ino said roughly," why do you think none of them know how we really feel?"
"Yeah, but at this rate," Saran said," unless the apocalypse occurs, those guys are never going to know we love them."
"Maybe we'll get lucky." Sakura said hopefully.
"You'd think they'd have figured it out by now," Neji said as they pulled up to the back entrance to the concert hall, and headed backstage.
Sasuke nodded in agreement.
"Come one, they're too obsessed with other guys to notice that we disappear at certain concert times conveniently." Naruto said with a laugh.
"True," Shikamaru said.
"Ready to play?" Gaara asked.
"Yup."
"Let's do this."
The walked onto the stage as the loud announcer said, "Now welcome the hottest band on the market today, Blood and Roses."
"Hey!" Sasuke yelled grabbing the mike and going into stage mode," you ready for a night you'll never forget."
The crow roared in response. "Well then here we go!"
The first notes on the keyboard by Gaara started, followed by Naruto on the drums, Shikamaru on bass soon joining in, two guitars, and a singing Sasuke later, you had the best band known in the world, Blood and Roses, and that night, they rocked the house.
The school year is finally over, and to celebrate, I'm bringing you the beginning to a new story that is actually already finished on paper and just needs to get typed and posted. Woohoo!
Reviews make me type faster. ;)
