Authors Note: Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't Update sooner. I was gonna update Sunday night, but a friend called and wanted to know if I could come over and Hang Out for a little while. Well, I ended up staying the night, and spending most of the day Monday at her house. By th etime I got home, I was dead tired, due to the lack of sleep I got while at her house. 4 HOURS! That's all I slept Sunday night, so I wasn't in the mood to write when I got home Monday night. Sorry! Well, anyway, Chappie 10: Enjoy!

Chapter 10: No More Secrets...

(Continued from the girls earlier convo in the car)

"Fusion 65!" Ino finished.

"Huh? Whaddya say?" Tenten asked. "I couldn't hear you over the music!".

Ino turned the CD off. "I said, the guys have a band called Fusion 65!".

"How long have they been together?" Sakura asked.

"Hmmm..." Ino said, tapping her chin with her pointer finger (or whatever it's called!). "About 2 monthes I guess".

"2 MONTHES!" Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata shouted in union.

"Yeah. So like, the guys never told you? Not even Naruto? I mean, he's the biggest loud mouth I've ever met!" Ino said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"No!" Hinata said, a little annoyed at Ino's comment about Naruto.

"Oh! Well, when we get back, tell the guys to get ready A.S.A.P! Then we'll meet early for the dance and casually ask them about the band! I know, my idea's perfect!" Ino said happily.

Everyone was quiet the rest of the way home...


(Back at the resort...)

"SHIKAMARU! GET DRESSED ALREADY! WE HAVE TO LEAVE IN 15 MINUTES!" Ino shouted at her lazy boyfriend, who was lying on the bed watching T.V.

Ino walked over to the T.V. and cut it off. "Ino! I was watching that! Turn it back on!" Shikamaru said, jumping up (a/n:hehe, he's not so lazy when it comes to T.V!).

"NO! GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND GET DRESSED! NOW!" Ino shouted at him.

Shikamaru sighed and got up. "How troublesome..."


"Sasuke, does this look okay?" Sakura asked, walking out of the bathroom in a silky cherry red dress, that hung down around her ankles, flairing out. Her hair was in a bun, with two red chopstick things holding it up. With a silver necklace, and matching earrings, Sakura looked stunning.

Sasuke raised and eyebrow. "It looks fine...".

Sakura's smile dissapeared. She looked at her feet. "Just... Fine? Not good, or... great... just... fine?".

"Okay, you got me" Sasuke said, smirking. He walked over to Sakura, taking his finger, and lifting her chin, so that onyx met emerald. "It looks stunning. Almost to great for words...". Sakura smiled, and Sasuke smirked again.

"Wait... are you going in that?" Sakura asked, pointing to the usual dark blue uchiha shirt that Sasuke was wearing.

"Well, I wasn't planning on it. Unless you like it of course!". Sakura giggled, and Sasuke smirked (a/n: he sure does smirk alot, huh?).

"I like it, but I thikn you should change" Sakura said, still giggling.

Sasuke sighed sarcastically. "I guess your right...". He grabbed the bag with his tuxedo in it, and went into the bathroom to get ready.

Truthfully, I don't care what he goes in! As long as I'm with him!

As long as he's with you huh?

Yeah. Pretty much!

You really like him, huh?

Of course!

I thought you used to hate him? Huh?

A Girl can change her mind right?

Sasuke walked out of the bathroom, looking satisfied. "Is this better?". It was apparent Sasuke had taken a shower, and brushed his hair. But best of all, he was wearing a black tux with a red tie, matching Sakura's dress.

"Sasuke, how'd you know I'd be wearing a red dress?" Sakura asked.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked confused.

"Well, how else would you know to buy a red tie!" Sakura exclaimed happily.

"Oh, that" Sasuke said, looking down at the tie. "I'm just a good guesser... I guess".

Sakura laughed. "Yeah, whatever".


"Naruto-kun, are you almost ready?" Hinata asked.

"Umm..." Naruto said, looking down at his half finished bowl of ramen.

Hinata giggled. "Well, hurry up and finish! We have to get ready to leave!".

"Hinata! Don't leave without meeeeee" Naruto whined.

Hinata giggled again. "I won't, silly!".


"Tenten, could you possibly be any slower?" Neji asked impatiently. He sighed, and continued flipping through the channels on the T.V. he and

Tenten shared.

"If you'd stop asking me that every 30 seconds, maybe I'd be done by now!" Tenten shouted angrily through the bathroom door.

"Excuse me!" Neji mumbled to himself. Unfortunately, Tenten heard him.

Tenten opened the bathroom door, fuming. "WHAT DID YOU SAY!".

This startled Neji. He didn't expect Tenten to hear him. "Uhh... nothing!". Neji was expecting Tenten to go off on him any second now, but it never came. Neji looked up, to see Tenten smiling.

"You fell for it!" she said, laughing.

"Huh?" Neji said, confused.

"I acted like I was mad at you, and you fell for it!" Tenten said, still laughing.

"Tenten..." Neji whined.

Tenten laughed. "Sorry. I just couldn't resist!".


(In the resort parking lot)

"Ino, are we gonna go anytime soon? Or can I go back to the room?" Shikamaru complained.

"I told you! Everyone's meeting here early so we can discuss something!" Ino said frusterated.

Shikamaru sighed. Ino was so troublesome sometimes...

"Hey, look Shika! Here come's everyone!" Ino said happily.

"Ino-chan, Hey!" Sakura said.

"Is everyone here?" Tenten asked, approaching Ino and Sakura.

"Naruto and Hinata aren't here yet" Sasuke replied.

"I didn't ask you, but thanks!" Tenten said, fooling around. Neji rolled his eyes.

Sasuke smirked, and Sakura and Ino giggled. "Hey, here comes Hinata and Naruto!" Sakura said, recovering from her recent giggle-fit.

Naruto and Hinata walked up, joining everyone else. "Sorry we're late! Naruto had to finish up his Ramen..." Hinata said apologetically.

Shikamaru, Neji, and Sasuke sweatdropped. "Hehe, sorry!" Naruto said with a fox-like grin.

"Okay, everyone! Here's the deal: the guys have been keeping something from Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata. Would anyone like to explain?" Ino announced, looking at the guys who were just standing around lazily.

"Huh? Ino, what are you talking about?" Neji asked, confused.

"Hmm... does this clear things up?" Ino aksed, handing Neji a piece of paper. All of the guys huddled over Neji's shoulder, reading what was written on the paper Ino gave Neji.

"Hey, these are our lyrics!" Sasuke said, grabbing the paper from Neji. "I wrote these myself! How'd you get them?".

"Shikamaru told me about your band once I found this copy of the lyrics in his suitcase last night" Ino explained. "Why didn't anyone tell us girls about this before?" Ino asked impatiently.

"Well...uhh..." Naruto stuttered.

"What Naruto is trying to say..." Sasuke tried to explain, "Is that we're still in our garage phase, and didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing...".

"Uh-Huh! Yeah..."Sakura said sarcastically, "So really, why didn't you tell us?".

The guys all looked at each other and sighed.

"Shikamaru..." Ino said warningly.

"What? I'm not the only one here you know..." Shikamaru replied.

Sakura walked up to Sasuke and snuggled his arm. "Sasuke-kun...why won't you tell me? I won't be mad..." Sakura said sweetly.

Neji sighed. "We might as well get this over with Sasuke...".

"Right now though? I mean, before the dance and all..." Sasuke replied, giving Neji a what-if-they're-hurt look.

Neji nodded. "The reason we didn't tell you, is because we didn't want to get everyone involved. We just wanted it to be our own little thing... if you guys know what I mean...".

Tenten, Hinata, Ino, and Sakura sweatdropped. "That's why! That's the ONLY reason why? Shikamaru! You could have told me that!" Ino said frusterated.

Sakura sighed, Hinata giggled, and Tenten walked over to Neji.

"Neji... You can tell me anything..." Tenten said, somewhat hurt.

Neji looked down at her. "I'm sorry Tenten, It's just...we all promised Gaara we wouldn't tell you guys...".

"What? Gaara's in the band?" Tenten said, surprised.

"Yeah".

"Woah... he scares me sometimes..." Tenten said oddly, looking up at Neji.

Neji smirked. "Girls...".

"Yeah, while we're confessing about the band..." Naruto said with a another fox-like grin, "Gaara's in it to. In the band I mean...".

Ino's eyed widened. "That FREAK is in the band too? Ugh, he scares me!".

Shikamaru sighed. "This is why we didn't want to tell you...cuz you'd freak out on us...".

Ino's face softened. "I'm sorry... It's just, I'm not Gaara's biggest fan...".

"Uhh... Shouldn't we get going?" Sasuke asked aloud.

"Oh, right! I guess I'll see everyone there! But no more secrets, okay?" Ino said, dragging Shikamaru to the car she and him shared.

Tenten laughed. "Yeah, what she said!" and dragged Neji to their car, like Ino had done to Shikamaru.

Sasuke looked at Sakura. "Don't even think about it!" He said smirking.

Sakura laughed and linked her arm with his. "Don't worry, we can walk like normal people!" Sakura said, as her and Sasuke walked to the car they shared.

"That's my girl..." Sasuke said, pecking Sakura on the cheek. She blushed. Sasuke grabbed the car keys out of the pocket of his tuxedo. He opened the car door for Sakura.

"What a gentlemen!" Sakura said, smiling.

"Only the best!" Sasuke said, getting in the car.

Sakura laughed, as Sasuke started the car and pulled out of the resort parking lot, smirking.

Tbc...
