SONG USED: Bring Me To Life, By: Evanescence
I recomend that you listen to the song as you read it. You will be able to get the beat better and understand it better!!
Sakura snuck up to the roof and ate lunch alone, looking around at the scenery. How the mountains formed in the background, and blended in with the sky. It was very relaxing. After she was done eating, she made her way back into the school and looked for her locker. Once she found it, she shoved all her books and crap into it, and only kept out what she would need for reading and art. Sakura was too busy with her locker and didn't see Gaara and Kiba come up behind her.
"Hey!" Kiba's voice was very loud, and Sakura jumped and spun around, leaning against the locker. She smacked Kiba in the head and grumbled under her breath, something like 'Dumbass, don't do that again.' Kiba sunk back behind Gaara while he rubbed the large lump on his head.
"I got our passes ahead of time, so here." Gaara handed Sakura a hall pass and she shoved it into her back pocket. "I'll be in the same study hall as you, so I'll make sure to wait for you before I leave. We still need to grab a guitar for you on the way."
"Whatever." Sakura slammed her locker shut and started down the hall to her next class, the boys right behind her.
Sakura sat in a chair between Hinata and Ten-Ten. The teacher, again, asked her to tell something about herself, but he only watched her ass as she walked back to her seat. The class was rather boring, but she just secretly read her book under the desk, Ten-Ten read along with her. Kiba and Naruto kept trying to look over her shoulder to see what they were doing, but Sakura would send him a death glare, and he would sit back down.
Sakura sat by herself during art, and whenever someone would try to sit anywhere near her, she would glare until they left. It had always been hard for her to draw with others so close. Mostly because of what she drew. Most of her stuff was good, but dark. Dark as in, evil. She would draw vampires, zombies, knifes with blood, or a bleeding flower. She didn't know why she drew that stuff, but she was good at it. When she handed in her work the teacher, Anko, smiled as she flipped through them. But when she saw the one that was a white rose with blood stains on the pettels and drops of blood dripping from the thorns, she gave the pink haired girl a look.
"Why did you draw all this stuff with blood?"
"I don't know… I like blood." With that, Sakura walked back to her seat and gazed out the window, trying to forget about having to sing in front of her classmates. She still refused to call them friends, because she only met them earlier in the day, but she felt like she's known them her whole life.
Gaara was walking in the hall after the bell rang. First they showed the passes to their study hall teacher, then they went to fine another guitar for Sakura. She had three to choose from, and took the black and white one. When they got to the music room, Sakura was surprised to see so many people in the band. But Naruto quickly told her what each person did, so it made a little more sense.
Hinata played the keyboard, Ten-Ten was backup girl voice, Naruto drums, Neji bass, Gaara lead male singer and electric guitar. While Kiba and Tamari were the managers, but Tamari couldn't make it today.
Sakura plugged in her guitar to the amp. And moved so she was standing near Gaara. "What do you want me to play?" She asked as she adjusted her strap.
"Do you have any songs that you wrote, or that you've memorized?" Kiba asked from behind Sakura. Sakura turned to face him and nodded. "Alright everyone, let's take a seat and listen to her song. What one are you going to play?"
"The song I wrote called 'Bring me to life'. Join in if you can get the beat." Sakura quickly tuned her guitar then sat on a stool and started to play.
How can you see into my eyes
like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead
It back home
Gaara started to play, and even added a few lines in of his own, along with Sakura's voice.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name
and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know
what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name
and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside
without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead...
Kiba watched with a smile on his lips. Not long after Naruto and Neji started playing, Hinata started with a soft melody from the keyboard, and Ten-Ten sat back with Kiba. Tamari came in after awhile, and let out a small whistle at the sight. She sat next to Ten-Ten and listened to the song.
(All this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping
a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
(Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul)
Don't let me die here
(There must be something more)
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
After Sakura finished the last couple of notes, she looked up to a bunch of smiling faces. Even Gaara and Neji had a half smile on their lips. Kiba, Ten-Ten, and Tamari were clapping from down in the bleachers, and everyone on stage started clapping, too.
"How'd you come up with that song?!" Kiba asked as he jumped up onto the stage. "It was awesome!"
Sakura's smile dropped at the question, and she stood up. "My brother and I wrote it." She whispered and put the guitar down. "A long time ago."
"Well, you should get him to come in and help us out sometime!" Tamari laughed as her and Ten-Ten ran up the steps to the stage.
"Can't, he's dead." Sakura said and walked out of the room just as the last bell of the day rang.
"Dead?" Naruto repeated with big eyes.
"Hinata, let's go after her." Ten-Ten said and started running after Sakura. Hinata nodded and was at her heals in seconds.
The two girls found Sakura walking down the steps that lead to the parking lot. They ran after her, calling her name, but the pink haired girl didn't stop. Ten-Ten ran over to her car and jumped in, and tried to follow Sakura, but she cut through the park and left them by the street.
Sakura had deiced she would walk home today, to avoid all the questions about her brother. She hated to talk about her older brother, and explain what happened to him. Sakura hadn't thought about him in a few months, but it still made her cry when she thought about how he died. The girl with pink hair slowly made her way through the park, heading home.
When Sakura was walking up her driveway, she could see Tamari standing in the window of her house, but Sakura ignored her. Sakura walked strait into her house, only to be thrown into the wall. Kio grabbed Sakura's neck and squeezed, making her gasp for air.
