An: I just want to give a shout out to Splaaash-attack and AniaHarima. Thanks for the reviews, you guys made my heart melt.

3. It's Pretty, But Does It Do Anything?

Once again Hyuga Hinata was caught between a window and a crazy MIG's private part. Thought this wasn't the kind of private part that she was used to seeing. The male in question, pressed his Crown Jewels so close to the the window that it looked distorted. Luckily Hinata was sitting in the middle of the car so that the offending mans parts weren't so close to her head. Sasuke on the other hand had the most annoyed look on his face.

"Oh shit, we haven't see that in a while" laughed Shikamaru.

"Do these people have no shame?" Sasuke said, looking away from the window. "Izumo, can you please get this idiot off the fucking window" growled the lead singer.

Izumo opened the door to the passenger seat and pulled the flasher man off the window. The car was going so slow because of the crowd that he got back into the car without a sweat.

Hinata was dying in the middle of the car. Between Sasuke and Shikamaru she could never been more embarrassed. She had never seen so many naked people in one day! Not that she didn't know men and women had different parts, she was not that naive, just the fact that the fans of Misguided seemed to like displaying them in public.

Growing up in a very formal household, sheltered from the real world till she got to University and that was a total shock. Hinata never drank until she met her best friend Ten-Ten. Not that anyone could call her a seasoned drinker, two drinks were her limit. She had only ever kissed one guy, under the influence of alcohol, they probably would have gone much further if Neji and Shikamaru didn't pull the boy off of her. They were all at a party together before Misguided was famous and well, her cousin didn't appreciate the boys hands wondering around her body.

The car pulled up to the hotel. The flashing lights already blinding Hinata as the slid out of the backseat of the SUV. A bodyguard was already guiding Shikamaru towards the entrance of the hotel, shielding him from the screaming fans. Hinata was grounded in her spot, waiting for the band members to pass her and she could quietly make her way through the crazy MIG's.

"Are you coming Hinata?" Neji shouted from the middle of the crowd, the bodyguard already had him half way to the front door.

"I'm going to wait here, theres too many people!" she shouted over the crowd. He didn't hear her as he was already up the steps. The crowd was already moving with the band. She grabbed her bag out from the back seat of the car. She knew as soon as the band got into the hotel, it would be easier to get to the hotel lobby, nobody knew who she was.

"Come" a voice said next to her ear.

Sasuke placed a hand on the small of her back and lead the way through the mass of people. Two of the bodyguards made way for them like parting the Red Sea. Hinata thought that he was already at the entrance. Why would he help her? Sasuke held up one hand, shielding his face from the cameras, while the other hand stayed on Hinata's back, making sure she got to the door safely. She could feel his hand burning on her skin even with the barrier of clothing between them.

As soon as they climbed up the steps, Sasuke casually dropped his had from her back and walked towards the door, she didn't even have the chance to say thank you before his long legs glided swiftly through the lobby of the hotel. Flustered the young heiress shook her head. Who knew the moody Uchiha could be such a gentleman?

They finally got up to the massive penthouse suite, the bell boy dropping off all the belongings. Each of the boys scattering off in different directions. Neji was looking for his bag that carried all of his special shampoos, Shikamaru already found a spot on the couch and instantly fell asleep with his hands behind his head. Kakashi gathered the band into the longe area. Naruto flopped down on the couch opposite Shikamaru with an exhausted sigh. "We haven't even done anything and I'm already so tired!" He whined.

"Well this is just the start of your week. Tomorrow you have a press conference for the tour launch. Temari will be here to brief you all tomorrow morning." Kakashi said, looking at the itinerary on his iPad.

Shikamaru perked up from his so called sleep after hearing about the woman. Everyone knew that there was something going on between the two of them, even if he didn't say anything.

"There's no rest for the wicked" Neji said, kicking Naruto's feet off the couch to make space for him to sit.

"Hey! I'm feeling delicate here" Naruto whined again. A puppy dog look on his face.

"Well you can be delicate somewhere else, I want to sit idiot"

Naruto pulled his tongue out at the long haired man. Neji took another swipe at Naruto with his foot, but Naruto dodged it, sitting up on the couch. Hinata shook her head at the childish men, a small smile playing at her lips. They were like four brothers in a love hate relationship with each other.

She took a seat next to Kakashi on a small love seat and pulled her camera out of her bag. The man next to her recited the rest of the agenda for the week to the boys. They had band practice on the new stage on Wednesday, another Kirigakure tv show wanted to interview them on Thursday and two radio stations straight after that. A magazine shoot on Friday and the first show. Saturday would be the last show in Kirigakure and then they would be on their way to the next city.

This would be how their weeks would be on tour. Press conference after press conference, tv shows, radio stations, magazine shoots, people constantly demanding their time. Hinata would have to find a way to keep herself busy as the boys worked.

She flicked through the settings of her camera, she placed a new SD card in so there were no pictures yet. She put the camera up to her face and pointed it at the blonde in front of her. He was paying attention to Kakashi. She focused the lens and snapped away. Hearing the clicking sound Naruto shifted his gaze to Hinata.

"No, Hina, you can't take bad picture of me!" He said, already out of his seat grabbing for the camera. "Let me see"

He took the camera out of her hands looking at the picture on the screen. "Hey, thats not bad at all" he grinned.

He handed the camera back to Hinata and she took it from him, blushing as he pushed his way between Kakashi and herself, sitting next to her.

"Ne, Hinata, will you take some more nice pictures of me?" asked the clueless drummer as Hinata blushed like a fire engine next to him.

"Hinata will be here through the whole tour, Mangekyou Records have officially hired her a tour photographer" said Kakashi as he looked through his files. He handed her a stack of loud papers. "Your contract for the five weeks we will be on tour"

Hinata perked up and looked at the grey headed man. "Neji-nii didn't say I was hired" she said, looking at her cousin. Neji nodded and she took the contract from Kakashi.

"It's the only way Madara-san would allow you on tour with the boys" Kakashi said. "He didn't think it would be appropriate for a young lady to be hanging around the band so much, the press would have a field day, even if your are related to Neji"

She nodded, glancing through the pages. Her eyes widened a bit when she saw the figure of the pay check that she would receive at the end of the tour. It was enough for her to rent a small apartment and move out on her own. Thank you Grandpa Uchiha!

"So she will be following us around like paid paparazzi?" Sasuke asked from the bar where he already poured himself a glass of amber liquid.

"Not quite, she will only be there on performance nights and getting some back stage shots, the press have already got you covered on your personal life, I don't think we would need to pay someone to do the same thing" Kakashi said matter of factly.

"You can do it Hinata, after seeing how sexy I look in this photo I have faith in you" Naruto grinned from beside her.

"T..thank you Naruto" she stuttered.

Sasuke downed his glass of alcohol and poured himself another. He glared at the long haired woman from across the room. Hinata could feel his gaze already on her. "Just don't get in my way" he said, picking up his bag and walking towards one of the bedrooms.

Hinata was scared. The lead singers hot and cold personality was already spinning her head around.

"Don't worry about that bastard Hinata, he's just hurting over Sakura, he'll come around soon" Naruto whispered in her ear.


A banging of Hinata's hotel room door woke her up with a start. She shot up in the comfortable bed, wondering what was going on.

"Shikamaru you bastard, wake the fuck up!" Shouted blonde from the door.

"Temari!" Hinata squeaked from her bed, holding the blanket close to her chest.

"Oh, hi Hinata, sorry wrong room, glad to see you again" the loud woman said, moving out of Hinata's room to kick another door down.

Confused and now wide awake Hinata gathered herself together. She would not to be able to go back to sleep again after being woken up so abruptly. She tied her long hair up in a ponytail and wrapped a fluffy white hotel robe around her body. Rubbing her eyes, she grabbed her phone and walked towards the front of the suite.

She saw Neji and Sasuke sitting around the dining room table, sipping on coffee. Neji reading the news paper and Sasuke was buttering some toast. He looked like he had a rough night last night. After Hinata decided to go to bed, Sasuke came out of his room, dressed to go out. She was surprised the singer was up before her.

"Morning" she yawned.

"Hn" they both said at the same time.

Hinata giggled and took a seat next to Neji, grabbing a cup of coffee. Neji looked up at her from his newspaper questioningly.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"Nothing" she said, smiling into he coffee cup.

He frowned at her and went back to reading his newspaper. As much as Neji was an early riser, he definitely wasn't much of a morning person. There would need to be two cups of coffee and an hour of silence before he would be himself again.

A loud yawn came from the entrance way of the dining room. Naruto stretched as he made his way to the table. He was only wearing a pair of bright neon orange briefs. Hinata looked away from the boy as he sat down across from her.

"Put on some clothes idiot" Sasuke said, looking at the blonde.

"Why? It's just you guys" said the blonde, pulling up a plate of bacon and eggs.

"I think Hinata has seen enough small dicks in the past few hours" the Uchiha smirked.

"Sasuke!" Hinata cried in shock.

"I don't have a small...!" Naruto cried at the same time.

"Just go put on some clothes!" Neji snapped, interrupting the half naked man.

"Fine!" Said the blonde, shuffling his way back to his room.

Sasuke snickered, biting into his toast looking pretty chuffed with himself. Not even paying attention to the girl who was now so low in her chair only her forehead could be seen from the top of the table.

"You have to get used to this Hinata, you will be with us for five weeks" Neji said next to her.

Hinata sat up straight into her chair. "I know, I'm just not used to seeing so many naked bodies" she said.

"The dobe will know you like him if you keep on blushing whenever he walks into the room, so pathetic" Sasuke said, looking at the beet read girl.

"I don't like him!" She squeaked.

"Whatever" he said, popping a baby tomato in his mouth.

Temari walked into the room, dragging a half asleep Shikamaru behind her and shoving him into the chair at the head of the table. He groaned, dropping his head down in exhaustion. Naruto came back into the room, clad in a t-shirt and sweat pants, Hinata was slightly disappointed.

"First of all, wake the fuck up!" Temari said, slamming her hand on the table next to Shikamaru's head. "You guys have a press conference in two hours, I want you all looking good and awake. This is the first interview to launch the tour, people need to see that you all have your shit together. Especially you Sasuke!" She pointed at the man.

"I haven't done anything this time" he glared at her.

"You've created such a shit storm with your break up that it overshadows the tour! I need all of you to be on your best god damn behaviour, at least till we get out of this fucking rainy town" she looked over at each and every one of the boys at the table.

"Temari is right" Kakashi said, coming into the dining room, already dressed in a suit. He looked like he has been up for a few hours already. "This tour is important, your second album didn't sell as much as your debut one, we need this to boost sales" he took a seat at the other head of the table opposite Shikamaru.

"Our iTunes sales are sky high and all shows were sold out hours after tickets were released" said Neji, looking over at Kakashi.

"Yes, but that doesn't change the fact the we sold fifty thousand less copies than we did with Untammed"

"Either way, we are still number one, fifty thousand copies are numbers and semantics. We will be releasing a new album at the end of the year, my Grandfather was just worried about our popularity dying down." The business side of Sasuke came out. "We sold more on iTunes this year, everything is going digital now, nobody buys albums anymore"

"Digital or not, we cannot have any mishaps on this tour. We need to keep your number one spot" said Kakashi looking at Sasuke especially.

"Hn" the lead singer said, folding his arms in front of him. He knew that Kakashi was talking to him about any mishaps happening on tour.

Hinata got up from out of her chair, while the boys had their meeting. She wondered what she would do today, while the band was doing their press conference. She didn't have to stick around them till the concert started and that was only on Friday.

She climbed into the shower, washing her long hair. She towel dried it, looking at the long strands. She really needed to cut her hair, it was getting too long to manage. Maybe she would look for a hairdresser today. She couldn't have her hair getting in the way now that she was officially hired by Mangekyou Records. Having that on her CV would help boost her photography career.

Right now she was only doing weddings when she wasn't working at her fathers company Hyuga Corp. Her sister Hanabi took over the position of successor after Neji decided to pursue his rock career. Her father didn't even glance at his eldest daughter, deeming her too weak. Just thinking about her father made her angry.

She was already dressed and heading for the front door, a sling bag hanging from her shoulder, she would find an umbrella at the front desk. It was drizzling again.

"Where you going Hina?" Neji called from the lounge area. He was sitting in one of the arm chairs, waiting for the rest of the band to get dresses so that they could go to the press conference.

"They don't need me today, so I thought that I would go and explore the city" she said.

"Why don't you take Kotetsu with you, you don't know the city and it isn't safe" he said, picking up his phone to call the bodyguard.

"No, I'm fine Neji, I won't go far. I'm just going to take a walk" she said. Hinata didn't want any company with her today, she was looking forward to some time alone.

Sasuke came into the room. "People know you are here with us, it was splashed all over the gossip pages this morning" he said throwing a magazine her way.

Hint caught the flying pages and zoned in on he front page picture. She groaned at the headline. "Sasuke's Pretty Rebound" The image was of the two of the walking towards the lobby of the hotel, with Sasuke's hand on her back. In the picture it looked like they were closer than it seemed.

"This isn't true!" She exclaimed, throwing the offending piece of paper on the couch closest to her.

"We all know it's not true. The paparazzi will print anything to create a scandal. Just take Kotetsu so I know you are safe" Neji said.

Hinata nodded, taking a seat on the couch. She looked over at Sasuke that didn't look phased at all. She looked back at the picture on the magazine cover that sat next to her sprawled open where she threw it.

"How can they print such garbage?" She mumbled, throwing an offending look at the image.

"Just ignore it. We have to deal with this shit daily" Sasuke scoffed not looking phased.

There was a knock at the door. Neji yelled for the visitor to open the door. Kotetsu came into the room, dressed in an all black suit. Hinata got up from the couch, gathering her bag and followed the the burly looking man out of the door.

They drove to the nearest hair salon. As Hinata entered a very girly looking man greeted her with a bright smile. He guided her to a chair. "What can I do for you today beautiful lady?" He asked.

"Chop it all off, I need a change"
