Author's Note: I'm sick! I hate being sick, but the good thing is that I don't have company anymore! YAY! That guy was an ass. He was getting on my nerves with me sick…not a good combo. Anyway, Gaara and Sakura are together now, let's see if Sakura wins her bet. Will Sasuke get to her? Let's find out.

Disclaimer: Help! I've fallen and I can't…Hey, nice carpet!

Ch. 11: WTF!

RING!
RING!
RING!

Everybody who had learned of the bet was staring at the door. Just when the bell rang, the door opened and Kakashi casually walked into the room. Everybody's mouth dropped, except Sakura's. Kakashi scratched the back of his head.

"Yo."

"Y-you're early!"

"HA! TOLD YOU HE'D BE EARLY! PAY UP CHOUJI!"

"NOOOO! I CAN'T BELIEVE I LOST!"

Chouji reluctantly handed her two fifty dollar bills. Sakura started to dance around the room and handed Kakashi fifty bucks.

"HEY! WHY ARE YOU PAYING HIM!"

"I asked him to come early today. Before you accuse me of cheating, you didn't say that I couldn't ask Kakashi to come in early."

"Y-YOU TRICKED ME! YOU'RE SO SNEAKY!"

"Well, congratulations. You're the first person to beat Chouji in a bet."

Sakura started to dance around the room again, but when she reached Gaara, she gave him a big kiss. Tenten and Hinata giggled and some of the guys were glaring. (Guess why.) Sakura pranced back to her seat and started to write on a piece of paper. She flicked it to Tenten, who picked up and read it.

Hey, what's your, Neji's, Hinata's, Itachi's, Naruto's, Temari's, Kankuro's, and Gaara's fav. band?

Our fav. Band is Three Days Grace. Why?

Tenten flicked the note back to Sakura.

Have everybody meet me in front of the school. Just before next period. Don't worry, you won't get in trouble.

Sakura flicked the note back and Tenten gave her the okay signal.

RING!
RING!
RING!

Sakura ran out to the front of the building where everybody was waiting for her.

"You know Sakura, we're missing class."

"I know. I have your work right here."

"So, why did you pull us out of class anyway?"

"Well, you know how you guys love Three Days Grace?"

"Yeah." they said in unison.

"Well, I have a surprise for you. Have you ever seen them in concert?"

"No, we were going to go, but the tickets were sold out. I could be seeing them right now." Tenten gave a sad face.

"Well, these are for all of us."

Sakura reached into her backpack and pulled out nine, backstage, Three Day Grace tickets. Everybody was shocked.

"Well, let's get going."

"How are we going to get there?"

"Hold on just a sec. Kankuro go get your car, I'll be right back."

A few minutes later, Kankuro pulled up, followed by a Viper that had a paint job that faded from black to red. They were looking at the other car, when the window came down. Sakura was sitting there smiling with Three Days Grace blasting.

"NO WAY! Sakura, how did you get this awesome car!"

"I bought it. Okay Gaara, Temari, Itachi come with me. The rest of you guys get to go with Kankuro."

"How are we going to do this without getting caught?"

"I've already talked to all teachers and parents. They gave the okay. So get your asses in gear."

Everybody hopped in the two cars and Sakura took off like a bat out of hell with Kankuro bringing out the rear. The reached their destination in about 2 hours. They were the first people there, but that wasn't the only surprise Sakura had. After they showed the guard their tickets, they walked down the hall and stood in front of the door. Without even knocking, Sakura entered the room and ran up to Adam Gontier, the band's lead singer and guitarist, and gave him a huge hug. All of her friend's were stunned.

"Hey, how's is going Sakura! You look hot. I haven't seen you in a couple of years." (She knows Three Days Grace, isn't that sweet.)

"Hey Adam, I missed you! I'm good, but Dad died not too long ago. Thanks for the compliment though."

"I'm sorry to hear that. You really do look great. So, these your friends?"

"Yeah, this is Tenten, Hinata, Temari, Kankuro, Neji, Naruto, Itachi, and my boyfriend Gaara."

"Boyfriend eh? You're one lucky dude. I've known this little cherry blossom since she was 12. Her dad donated free beer for us cause we're her favorite band."

"Awesome! I can't believe I actually get to meet you guys!" said Tenten.

"Shit, I forgot to introduce the rest of the guys. This is Brad Walst, our bass player."

"Hey."

"And this is Neil Sanderson, our kick ass drummer."

"Wuzzup!"

"Hey, our show's about to start in…2 minutes, so you guys better go snag your seat."

"Okay, see you after a bit. Can we exit off the stage?"

"I don't see why not. You guys are the only people with backstage passes. Just jump off the stage."

Sakura walked through the doors and onto the stage. Everybody was looking at her, but she ignored it. Everybody followed her when she jumped off stage.

"ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!"

"YEAH!"

"THREE DAYS GRACE!"

The band walked onto the stage and took their playing positions. Adam was looking at Sakura when he spoke.

"Okay the first song we are going to play is "Just Like You" and we want our good friend of 4 years to come her and play and sing with us tonight. Everybody give it up for Sakura!"

Sakura stood up and smiled as Adam helped her onto the stage. She picked up her guitar, which was blood red and had dragons on it. They plugged her up and she stood by Adam. The song started and Sakura started to play and sing. By the time the song was done, they wanted her to do another song with them.

"Do you guys want Sakura to do another song with us!"

"YEAH!"

"Okay, I'll stay for one more song then I have to get back to my boyfriend!"

"WOO!" (HEHE!)

"Our next song is "I Hate Everything About You". Give Sakura a big hand."

Everybody gave her a hand and then the band started again. By the time the song ended, Sakura's friends were jumping up and down and screaming. Sakura sat down her guitar, hugged Adam, and jumped off the stage.

"Isn't she awesome!"

"YEAH!"

"Sakura, you were great!"

"Thanks Tenten."

"I didn't know you were that hardcore."

"Well, maybe I will play one of my songs for you guys sometime."

"Awesome."

Through the rest of the concert, Sakura sat beside Gaara until he picked he up and put her on his shoulder. She laid back and let the crowd carry her all around. They passed her back the Gaara and she jumped off his shoulder. While she was crowd surfing they focused the camera on her. Sasuke, who was at his house, saw her singing with them and nearly gagged. He had wanted to sing with Three Days Grace for almost his whole life. (Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration..) His threw his glass up against the door.

"No matter how hard I try to break her, she always comes out on top! I GIVE UP!"

"Sasuke, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Mom."

"Okay dear."

The band had just finished there last song and was thanking everyone for coming. After the whole auditorium had filed out, the gang went back to the band's dressing room. Sakura went and talked to Adam for a minute.

"Hey Adam, can you come here for a minute?"

"Yeah." Sakura led him to a separate corner.

"Can I use your amps for a little while?"

"Yeah, are you going to sing some of your old songs?"

"Yeah. After I quit the band, I kept writing and playing. I just liked what I did with you guys so much, that I want to do it again, only with an empty room so the sound carries."

"Go ahead, I'll cover for your until you get set up."

"Thanks." Sakura kissed him on the cheek and left.

"Where's Sakura going?"

"Bathroom."

"Oh."

Sakura ran onto the stage and set up her guitar. She started to play.

"Hey, what's that?"

"I don't know, let's go see."

They all walked out into the area with seats and saw Sakura playing her guitar. They took a seat and waited for her to sing.

A rattle, a scream
Strange noises that haunt me
All these voices
I just don't understand
Years of pent up anger
Burns like a raging fire
Waiting for deliverance
To a promised land

Chorus: The toil in my tears
Tells the story of my years
The fight is gone
All that's left inside
Is the fear

No where to run, no place to hide
Just me drowning
In the naked lies I weave
Haunted by the past
With no hope of a future
How can I escape?
How can I leave?

Chorus: The toil in my tears
Tells the story of my years
The fight is gone
All that's left inside
Is the fear

My time has come
There's no hope for my salvation
Lying awake, listening to the pouring rain
How did I become so disillusioned?
Please help me god
Will I ever live a life without pain?

Bridge: Wading in this sorrow
Praying the sickness will fade
But we must exist
In the bed's we have made

Chorus: The sadness in my cries
While I see with blinded eyes
A life abandoned
All that's left of me
Is the fear

The fear…

Fear.

After Sakura had finished her song, everybody was up and clapping.

"Sakura, have you ever thought of recording your music?"

"No Adam, I do this for fun."

"Well, let's hear another one."

"Maybe later. It's getting late."

"Okay, jump down here and give me a hug."

Sakura jumped off the stage and hugged all the band members. As she walked out of the building, she waved goodbye.

Sakura climbed in her car and turned up the radio. It was playing "The Kill" by 30 Seconds To Mars. They drove home in silence because everybody was wiped out. Sakura finally dropped everyone off and started towards Gaara's house. She pulled in the garage and turned off the ignition. Gaara looked at he for a minute and smiled. Temari and Kankuro had gone to brag to the friend's about meeting their favorite band.

"You never told me you knew Three Days Grace."

"You never asked."

"You know, I'm jealous."

"Why?"

"Cause you haven't given me a kiss yet."

"Don't be jealous, you get something better than a kiss tonight."

"Oh?" Sakura climbed out of the car and ran towards the house shouting.

"But only if you an find me!"

Author's Note: Okay, Sakura's started to play her music again. Will Gaara find Sakura? What's going to happen if he finds her? Only I know! MWUHAHA! Enjoy!
