"Ok who's going to be first?" Sasuke asked. The karaoke machine was set up, but nobody seemed brave enough to go first.
"I'll go!" Naruto yelled finally, "Just as long as some one tells me how this works."
Sakura gave Hinata a slight nudge which made her jump.
"Hey, Hinata you ok?" Naruto asked.
"F-f-fine…h-here let me show you…,"Hinata stammered. She when through how the whole thing works.
They popped the cd in the machine pressed play and suddenly Naruto had a lump in his throat, "I didn't know this involved singing," he thought to himself. The intro music started and there was nothing else he could do but sing:
"I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you…"
"Wooo! Go Naruto!" Sakura cheered him on which of course boosted his courage. He actually didn't sound half bad considering his only singing experience had been in the shower with the stereo blasting.
"Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on…"
Naruto was actually getting into it. At the "I won't sit back" part he began rocking back and forth and at the end of the chorus he was dancing too.
"I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it…"
All the girls were cheering him on except Hinata who was blushing far to much. Even some of the guys were sitting there smiling. One: Naruto really couldn't dance that well, which was pretty funny and Two: He wasn't half bad.
This whole time Hinata was building up courage. Until she finally built it up enough to cheer the boy she loved on.
"Go Naruto!" This would've been masked by the others and Naruto's singing except the girls had stopped for a moment to save their voices and Naruto reached a bridge in the song where he didn't sing. Therefore Hinata's cheer was heard by all including Naruto who even stopped dancing for a moment to look at her. Hinata then went to take refuge behind the sofa.
"I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on."
Naruto ended in a power slide with his head back in a super star pose. Everyone gave him a well deserved round of applause.
"Well High and Mighty Sasuke," Sakura said, "Pass judgment, if you will."
"He did…," Sasuke began and all the girls gave him icy stares, "very well," All the girls applauded, "As long as you keep the dancing to yourself you do pretty good in the future."
Naruto went and sat down and found Hinata still huddled behind the sofa.
"Oy, Hinata," he whispered down to her.
She looked up and blushed, "Y-yes?"
"Thanks for cheering for me," he said quietly yet enthusiastically, "I'm sure you'll do great too!" Naruto then turned back around as Hinata's entire head turn bright read.
"N-Naruto… gave me…a compliment," she said to herself.

A.N.: These chapters are probably going to be short cuz it's one song per person. I hope you like and if you have any suggestions for any of the characters songs just review and let me know!
