"Positions ready?" she said over the little microphone that was clipped to her purple and black striped jacket. She was currently at the sound booth along with Itachi who was hovering over her to see what she will do to his little brothers show. She was currently doing a sound check with Sasukes band as well as setting up the lights and getting ready for the music video she was going to make for the band.
"Check. I'm right in the center front. Shino what about you?" Her loud mouth friend said, she looked for him and saw that he was currently holding his camera in the front stage.
"Get the crowd and see what they would do." she replied to him only to see the bright light go in her face as well as the fans, some of them shouted and waved at her friend who only smiled widely.
"Kiba that's enough your light is right in my camera I can't see anything" another voice from the radio said as Kiba turned around his camera pointing to the stage.
"Lower your light Kiba and you should be fine. I'm going to do sound check right now." she then turned to her laptop and adjusted some of the knobs on her left. She grabbed the small mic by her ear as Naruto, a bright blond who was the drummer for Sasukes band sat behind his drums. He was Sasukes right hand man and best friend she knew because she went to school with them, she didn't talk to them only knew who they were. He wore a bright orange tee shirt along with black jeans he had on black chucks and his bright blond hair was spiked in a million places. His eyes were sapphire blue and bright as the sky, on his cheeks were his whisker marks that looked like cat whiskers. He had on an ear piece where Hinata could easily talk to him and he could talk to her which he probably won't.
Their band had a reputation of having to fire their crew members, and unlucky for her she is the newest.
"Hello, I'm your sound check manager will you please hit your bass drum then your toms please." She said over the radio. The blond did what was told hitting the big bass drum between his legs, then his toms which hardly made any sound. She turned more knobs and slid some pieces down the sound board. "Okay now you can go wild" Naruto then his the drums and cymbals making a nice drum solo.
"Thanks." she said quietly as the blond left the stage. The next person was a tall brunette who had his hair in a spiky ponytail; that was Shikamaru. Her friend Temari was currently dating this bassist, she knew him as a sleepy and lazy kind of person and just when she thought that he yawned.
"Okay Shikamaru please play a few notes and you can be all set" He nodded and started to strum the bass pretty fast, but no sound had projected through the speakers. He looked up to the sound booth yawned and lifted his hands up in confusion. Turning a knob that had the words "bass vol." written on tape right beneath the knob the sound has worked. After a few minutes of helping Shikamaru with his instrument she helped the guitarist and lastly the vocalist. Itachi looked at her with amusement quirking a brow and giving her a bow.
"You did pretty well Hinata-chan! " he smiled at her. Hinata casually rolled her eyes and pushed her glasses to the bridge of her nose as she gave the older male a scoff.
"Listen, Itachi I need to know what songs they are going to play. If I don't know the songs then I won't be able to adjust the sound to the right song and that will end up being a train wreck it will also mess up the lights. I did the lighting for every song last night. Could you warn the band not to play any new songs please? And my test subject... The principal said that I needed a better video for my college applications... Could you help me on that?" the young Hyuuga told the Uchiha male in front of her as she pushed her glasses closer to her face using her pointer finger.
"Are you sure about me telling Sasuke that he will get offended and he will disobey you, It's just a warning and I will do as you ask. And about your project just ask its not that hard. I'll be back to bring you that list. They will be playing five or six songs and are you going to do lighting and sound for us?" he gave her a smile.
"I don't care about Sasuke getting offended, I'm too shy to ask him and no I wont do any lighting I want to enjoy your music and get in the pit!" she stuck her tongue at the Uchiha as he left. They were due to play in a few minutes and everything was set.
After getting the song list she quickly adjusted the computer to pick up the sound. Once placing her headphones on she adjusted her mic just in case she had to talk to the band. The band then went on with Sasuke whom had a very sour face. His mic then went towards his mouth "This song is called 'Captin Blood'(I don't own this song it belongs to CNCC)" he said cooly as the song began to start up and the crowd cheering and clapping.
"Good.. On schedule" she whispered slowly turning off her connection with the band and turning on her connection with her two friends as she started to play with the sound board.
"Kiba see if you can get Sasuke." She asked as she saw Kiba point the camera towards Sasuke.
"Nata this is the best! Usually I'm fighting against the crowd, but now I'm in front of the barricade. We are so professional!" He said loudly.
"Kiba I believe that if you shout the camera should be picking up your voice." Shino said to the mic he was currently in the crowd getting the mosh pit as well as the jumping and crowd surfing audience.
"Shino if you can let someone hold the camera, but be carful please." Hinata said as she turned off the mic, knowing the song would end soon.
After a few more songs the band was to their last song 'Milf' (Owned by CNCC) and Sasuke was currently staring the sound booth down down. She knew he was up to something.
'Their newest song is 'In friends we trust' (CNCC) something's up they won't play 'Milf' because they want to promote their new song' the young Hyuuga thought.
"Alright let's switch it up a bit!" Sasuke shouted as the band quickly started to play. The Hyuugas eyes quickly widened as she started to turn knobs and push the sliders up and down. She knew that would happen and she was prepared. Sadly five seconds of the beginning song was lost. She knew the guitar was to be first so she quickly adjusted that as quickly as possible then the drums, bass and lastly Sasukes mic. Feeling happy with the outcome she finally proceeded with the last song. Once then band was finished the young Hyuuga turned her mic on.
"Listen here Sasuke and the rest of you guys, next time you want to do a fucking stunt like that again please think about what it's going to fucking cost you guys. First off is a music video that will not only be the best but it will gain you much more fans, second is a very sour Itachi, and lastly is a very pissed off sound tech. I do great at my job so please don't fucking test me or that video I'm making will be the end of all of you. Got it?Now Fuck off and give me the right songs next time!" Hinata said over the small mic only the roadies and the band could hear.
"Damn Nata chan! Go you!" Kiba cried as he heard the rant through his headphones.
Sasuke was currently looking at his older brother as their sound tech was talking to them. It seemed like everyone heard what she said as they got off the stage, even some of the crew were snickering. 'She has the nerve to talk to me like that?' Sasuke thought as he heard her last remark.
"Itachi, could you go tell her that she is dismissed?" Sasuke said as he clearly was going to fire her like all their past sound techs. The older Uchiha then shook his head and sighed as he looked at the other three band mates.
"Do you guys know how many views our last music video has?" Itachi asked as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Four thousand nine hundred and forty five views as of last week." Shikamaru said as he yawned and laid on a near by speaker.
"Yeah about that much, but this morning it now has about eight thousand five hundred. Do you know when the music video was premiered?" The oldest male asked as he looked at the wide eyed faces of some of the band members.
"Friday the thirteenth, one of your favorite days." Sasuke quickly said as he thought about the situation they were in.
"How many days ago was that?" Itachi asked once again.
"About nine days ago." Shikamaru replied once again as Itachi gave a small clap.
"Good now guess who directed, produced, edited and published that amazing, video?" Said Itachi as he quickly crossed his arms and stated at the band.
"Nata is what she calls herself right, she did most if not all your music videos. She's the one that made you popular. Why doesn't she tour with you? You always have Sasori as the sound tech on tours... Why isn't she yours permanently?" The genius said.
"Well she's still in high school so we can't really hire her on tours. She likes keeping her identity a secret so only the band and some of the crew know who she is. Sasuke I suggest you apologize to her after all she's making a video about you for her school project. I'm off and I'll see you later enjoy the show."
"Hn" replied the youngest Uchiha as he looked at the rest of the band; he then grabbed the headset near him and placed it on his head adjusting the mic close to his mouth.
"Hey Sound Tech... Just because your Itachi's pet doesn't mean you can talk to me like that, and you should stop making your video about me its pathetic. You don't even have my permission to film me any ways. Tch. You're just some rude impolite person and I'm not sorry for the song, better make our video great and maybe I will consider you filming me." replied the cocky younger Uchiha as he scoffed and left off stage into the VIP section.
"Fuck you Uchiha." she whispered and turned her headset off.
After the concert and the VIP party she grabbed the footage from her two friends and proceeded back home. Closing the door behind her she walked to the kitchen to make a late cup of coffee. Grabbing the mug full of coffee she quickly went to her room and sat on her desk and started to upload the footage into her computer.
"Ah, lets get started on this." she quickly said as she drank some coffee from her mug, and placed her headphones on her head and rapidly moving her mouse.
-The Next Day-
"Damn Hinata what happened to you? You looked like you didn't get any sleep." The loud Inuzuka said as he looked at her clearly losing a level in his game. He wore a black Akatsuki tee shirt with dark washed jeans and had his usual accessories.
"I didn't" Hinata sighed as she laid her head on top of her arms. The Hyuuga wore light washed skinny jeans with a baggy dark blue shirt with a white skull and her usual slouch beanie. She yawned as she took her laptop out of her bag and opened it and typed the Akasuki website. She then clicked on a video and turned it over to her best friends before falling to sleep for a quick nap.
"Wow. Amazing as usual and she finished it in less than five hours. She must be exhausted."Shino said as he pushed his dark framed glasses towards his head as he watched the video once more. Just then Sasuke, Naruto and Shikamaru all entered the class room and everyone clapped for them clearly having watched the video at least once in the past hour it was uploaded. Sasuke glared clearly not knowing about the recent post on his brothers website.
"Congrats on your music video Sasuke-kun!" cried Sakura and the rest of his fangirls as they tried to give him a congratulatory hug.
"What, music video?" he sneered to the three girls before him; trying to find a laptop to watch said video.
"The one for 'In friends we trust' it came out about an hour ago it's really great." said Ino as she flipped her platinum blond hair and smiled. Grabbing his phone he went to the site and began to watch the video and dare he say it the video was pretty great it had the crowd, the band and exactly what the video needed and it almost made fifteen hundred views. 'Maybe this sound tech really is as good as she says' thought Sasuke as he watched the video once more.
