by Heartaker
Summary- Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Neji are in a famous J-rock band called 'The Leaf' but before they were famous throughout Japan, they were just regular boys, who did things regular boys do, they also feel in love-but because of there careers they had to leave there loves behind, with a promise that they would be back when it was all said in done. Naruto, Chouji, and Gaara are feeling the loss more than ever, and decide that they have waited long enough and decide to take matters into there own hands by...
starting there OWN J-rock band- 'Hidden Village'
Parings- SasuNaru, ShikaChouji, GaaNeji, KakaIru...others maybe...
Disclaimer- I own nothing of course
Warning- Shounen-ai, Yaoi, boy/boy lovin', angst, Lemon/Lime, Language (duh)
A.N.- Okay the songs that are going to be written throughout this all belong to other successful J-rock bands, some of the songs will be by woman some will be by man, so if you recognize the song, and is kind a iffy about males singing female songs, I've warned you before hand. They're relationships are already established, they haven't broken up or separated, and Kakashi and Iruka are married.
Moonstarlover4u- Chapter updated, no need for the automatic, unless of course I have another problem updating-Thanks for R&R'ing!
blue-genjutsu- Glad you liked, there will be more of that ArrogantNaruto don't worry!
Pizelust- I agree with the weird names, and believe me they're only going to get weirder. As for Kyuubi, Naruto doesn't really have the fox sealed in him, and he doesn't have the whiskers in this either-but maybe it is obvious, I named him that because I always thought it was cute-
Thanks to all those who have read and reviewed, I really thought this story was dead for a second-It's really good to know people are enjoying this!
Chapter 9
The Men backstage were nothing short of amazed? Shocked? Awed beyond belief? There were really no words to properly describe how good Sakura, Ino, and Hinata were. The applause was enough to prove that. Tsunade also had a nasty gleam in her eyes. Shizune after seeing the performance was tittering in Tsunade's ear about being there manager.
'The Leaf' were respectively speechless. Shikamaru was looking at Ino like he had never seen her before-Neji was staring at his cousin as if he wanted to say, 'Is that MY cousin Hinata' Sasuke was staring at Sakura in disbelief, his mouth turned into a frown. Is this some sort of joke? He thought unconsciously gripping his guitar.
"Wowa they were really good, ne?" Naruto/Kyuubi said in a hushed whisper. Chouji/Doughboy agreed fully, he was bobbing his head up and down. Kakashi who had tore his gaze reluctantly away from the man named Mr. Crow, was staring off on the stage as if this was some sort of bizarre dream-Iruka/Mr. Crow shared the same look.
This was just too much-
Sakura removed her arm away from around Ino and Hinata's shoulder, and they all respectively bowed and waved. Then walked off the stage. Ino wiped sweat off her forehead and leaned into Sakura who was using her shirt to wipe the sweat off her face. Hinata had a small smile on her face, and looked as if the sweat sliding down her neck and face was just a cool breeze.
As soon as they stepped onto the back platform, Shizune was all over them. "You guys were simply amazing! Now I'm quite sure you three don't have a manager!" She cleared her throat importantly. "You my dears are in such luck-I Shizune, who just so happen to be the Gondaime's very best friend is here to make you a offer you cannot refuse" she paused to move long strands of black up and over her shoulders. "I want to be your manager!"
Ino, Sakura, and Hinata exchanged looks. "Could we talk about this properly miss?" Sakura asked, unsure. Hinata and Ino mirrored her expression. Shizune forced a smile. "Of course, after the concert my dears, we will talk-believe me you'll love me as your manager, I am a person that can make things happen"
The girls nodded and bypassed her, Tsunade had walked back onto the stage to introduce the next act. The girls stopped in front of 'The Leaf' who were all giving them dark looks. Hinata looked uncomfortable.
Ino looked like she was about to boil over, and Sakura just looked confused. Her eyes met Sasuke's-they maintained eye contact for what Sakura thought was for forever, until Sasuke looked away and snorted.
"What are you three tryin' to prove, huh?" Sakura looked away at the disgust she noted in Sasuke's tone. Shikamaru had the same look of disgust on his face, Neji was glaring at Hinata-wondering what would possess her to wear such an outfit (?). "We're not trying to prove anything, especially not to insensitive jerks like you!" Ino seethed, clenching her fists. She then locked eyes with Shikamaru. "But if you insist on being assholes, we'll just have to run your asses into ground-so watch out- 'Artificial Sweetner' is not to be taken lightly" She gripped Sakura and Hinata's wrists, and made to walk off.
"Don't be stupid Ino" She stilled her breath catching in her throat at hearing his voice. 'Hidden Village' who had been standing off to the side watching everything unfold in trepidation stilled with her. "Who would take three girls dressed like frolicking school girls seriously?" Ino felt her eyes cloud with tears. Naruto/Kyuubi caught this and glared fiercely at Shikamaru. "Ne, don't be such a jerk! They were good!"
Naruto/Kyuubi felt Sasuke's eyes on him but ignored him. "I'd buy everyone of there albums, just to prove you wrong, if it meant that I could listen to them sing! Don't down them because you think your so great!"
"How troublesome" Shikamaru sneered, but inside he was smirking. "I don't have time for this" That made Naruto/Kyuubi bristle even more. "I'll wipe that sneer off your face…" Chouji/Doughboy placed a placating arm on Naruto/Kyuubi's shoulder. "Just ignore them, it's obvious they suffer from a 'Superiority Complex'"
Kakashi walked over intent on putting a stop to the bickering, he watched warily as Sakura dragged Ino off, her shoulders shaking. Hinata gave them a sad look then followed off after her group mates. He went to say something but was side stepped by Mr. Crow. "Come on guy's your on next" The boys nodded and followed off after Iruka/Mr. Crow.
"Something isn't right about those guys" Neji said, his brow furrowing. Shikamaru's smirk widened and he leaned back. "Maybe that's because there our guys-Chouji, Gaara, Iruka, and Naruto"
Too say they were shocked was an understatement.
"'Hidden Village'!" Tsunade exclaimed, almost sweat dropping at the close to no applause. It was like the crowd was saying- 'What another band we don't know?' She walked off the stage. Naruto/Kyuubi, Gaara/Sandman, and Chouji/Doughboy walked onto the stage. The crowd was hushed, there garb was quirky yet mysterious. They got behind there instruments and Naruto grabbed hold of the mic.
He ignored the sweating of his fingers.
"Hello, Hello! We are 'Hidden Village' I'm the lead singer Kyuubi, we have Sandman on Guitar, and Doughboy on base-now I know your all here to hear 'The Leaf' and I say who can blame you, there good! But" He reeled back a bit, a button popped off the top of his silk button down shirt, showing off an expanse of tanned chest-some of the girls in the audience gasped- "Maybe we can change your minds!" and with that the beat started off so intense it seemed to push the audience back an inch.
Naruto/Kyuubi started off the song:
Hit the gas! There's no need to finagle, oh yeah!
We'll go all through the night.
I'll complain at the end, the balance is zero, oh yeah!
We'll whittle the days away...
The response was even faster than it was with 'Artificial Sweetner' Naruto's powerful voice practically ruled the song, belting into the mic like he was making love to it. The girls in the stands started to jump up and down and scream, like crazy rabid fan girls. Chouji was smiling pleasantly, even though all the noise irritated him. Gaara was practically dancing with his guitar-and the sounds it was making was driving the crowd over the edge.
When you open your heart a little, and pull someone close to you,
Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...
Hurry it up! Wring it out!
Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...
Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,
If it isn't you, then what's the point?
So I'll go further and further away!
Naruto walked over to the edge of the stage, and started touching hands. He almost stopped singing to laugh when one overzealous girl grabbed his hand attempting to pull him off the stage. He pulled his glasses down, and gave her a slow wink-and to his surprise she fainted!
Hit the gas! There's no need to finagle, oh yeah!
We'll go all through the night.
I'll complain at the end, the balance is zero, oh yeah!
We'll whittle the days away...
When you open your heart a little, and pull someone close to you,
Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...
Hurry it up! Wring it out!
Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...
Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,
If it isn't you, then what's the point?
The crowd was going wild, like the 'The Leaf' was one the stage singing the song instead of the unknown 'Hidden Village' girls were by now trying to climb onto the stage having to be held back by security. Naruto/Kyuubi for his part found it all quite overwhelming, if not a little scary. He finished up the song.
So I'll go far into the distance...
Your world will become a thing of deceit
painted all in white...
Gaara/Sandman drove the song out, and you would have thought the girls were having orgasms how thoroughly they were screaming. Naruto/Kyuubi, felt Gaara/Sandman, and Chouji/Doughboy come up on either side of him. They looked off at all the people, the girls screaming till there faces turned pink. In suddenly they felt very small.
"Are you guys sure about this?" Chouji asked, he looked over at the two of them-who was staring off into the crowd like they were hypnotized. Naruto sighed, then looked over his gaze behind the sunglasses locking with the dark angry eyes of his lover, a feeling of dread went through him. "There's no turning back now" He looked away, and felt Chouji as well as Gaara move closer to him, like the walls were closing in on them.
"And so it begins" came the subdued voice of Gaara.
…and so it begins
TBC…
I hate how long it took me to actually think up this chapter-I hope your all still interested in it, because the real fun begins after 'The Leaf' performs.
(?) Okay am I the only one wondering why that was what Neji was so upset about?
Don't worry the whole Naruto/Kyuubi, Gaara/Sandman, Chouji/Doughboy ends with this chapter, it annoyed me to now end!
I know I sais it was going to be 'Rage Beat' from Gravitation, but I changed my ming it's 'Haruka Kanata' from Naruto-
Next Chapter- The Concert Finale…
