Discalimer: I do not own Naruto! This is going to be the last chapter.

Sorry again for the long delay. Hopefully this chapter will make up for it.

Thank you for all the reviews and advice I received for this story. This chapter is written a little diffrently and when i'm done with the story i'm going to go back and rewrite the other chapters with more detail.

Thanks to:

Anyway, on with the story:)

Time skip: Friday, the day of the school concert.

I paced back and forth, fidgiting with my two forefingers. I couldn't help but feel anxious and a bit uncertain.

"Will you stop that. Just sit down and relax. Everthing is going to be fine." Hanabi said reassuringly.

We were currently in my bedroom. I glanced over at my scooby-doo alarm clock that was perched on my small blue-painted table next to my made-up bed. It read 7:30 a.m. Good, I let out a sigh of relief, we still have another thirty minutes to get to school. I stopped pacing and turned to face Hanabi, who was sitting on my bed.

"Thanks, but i'm still just so nervous. I mean what if something goes wrong. What if the equipement malfunctions or we mess up on the song. I get stage fright you know." I sighed heavily and sat down on my bed beside Hanabi. Hanabi got up and kneeled down in front of me and took hold of my hands.

"Look nothing is going to go wrong, okay. I've seen the band play and you all were really good. All of you work perfectly together, the music and your singing were in perfect sync so no worries. Don't forget why you're doing this in the first place okay. Just keep that in mind and you will do great." She said as she cupped my face in her hands and nodded it up and down for me, agreeing. I smiled at her gratefully. Hanabi can be so nice sometimes.

"Now," she said standing up and straightening her black blouse,"we better be getting to school." She walked out my door, closing it behind her to give me some privacy to dress. I walked over to my closet and peered in. I studied all my clothing with a critical eye. Hmm...what should I wear? I studied my clothes carefully and finally decided on a lavender top with a blue and silver butterfly on the left bottom corner of the shirt; and low-rise blue jeans with butterflies stitched on the front and back pockets and on the bottom of the left leg. The butterfly on the jeans was sitting atop of a white lily. To top it off I chose to wear my brand new white sandels, showing of my freshly purple-painted toenails. I brushed out my long midnight blue hair and let it hang around my shoulders. I didn't bother with make-up.

I made my way into the kitchen. Hanabi was already sitting down eating eggs and bacon. Neji was standing against the bar counter, sipping a cup of what look liked green tea.

"Good morning, onii-san. How are you doing?" I asked Neji. He just looked up and grunted. I rolled my eyes. Typical, he couldn't even say good morning. I walked over to the stove and stared at it's contents. I quickly lost my appetite. The food looked scruptious, but for some odd reason when I looked at it my stomach felt queasy. Hmm...it must be nerves. I found that when i'm nervous or anxious about something,, I couldn't eat.

"Is something wrong Hinata-sama." Neji politely asked me. I turned and frowned at him.

"How many times do I have to tell you to not call me Hinata-sama? Hinata-chan or Hinata is just fine." I lightly scolded Neji. I know, me scolding anyone is a miracle, but he was starting to get on my nerves with his cool, calm, and collected additude. Really, doesn't he get nervous about anything. Looking at him standing there acting as if today wasn't a 'special' day, as if he gets up and performs in front of hundreds of kids everyday. Okay, so maybe i'm a little jealous. I would love more than anything to act as if today wasn't a big deal. But it was, today i'm going to get up on stage in front of hundreds of kids that I do and don't know and sing my heart and soul out so that the whole of Konaha's population would know of my feelings and who those feelings were directed towards.

"Right, I forgot. Anyway we need to get going so we can set up the equipment." Neji said and walked out of the kitchen. I quickly followed him. On the way to the main entrance I grabbed my backpack I had left in the dining room. In it was a couple of sheets of music, an extra microphone, and my outfit that I was to wear for the short concert. The group decided that we were going to have outfits that complemented each other.

I had to shield my eyes as we stepped outside. The sun shone brightly and the trees and flowers swayed slightly in the gentle breeze. The grass was green, the sky blue, the clouds white and fluffly, and people bustled about looking carefree and content with their lives. Yes, today was a perfect day for a swim in a lake, a walk in the park, or a pinic with that special someone. Unfortunetly for me I was not in a good enough mood to enjoy the serene beauty that surrounded me. The mellowness of the beautiful morning got me thinking about the band. The band...hmmm...wait...why don't we, I mean it's been so long and we've never...how come I didn't notice this before...?

We were already half way to the school when I abruptly stopped. After a few minutes, Neji finally realized that I wasn't following him. My isn't he attentive. He shot me an aggravated look before asking, "Hinata, why'd you stop? We should have been there by now."

"Neji-niisan, I was wondering, why doesn't our band have a name?" I asked. He stared at me dumbfounded.

"You know, i've never really thought about it." He grinned sheepishly. To say I was surprised would be an understatement. Mr. Know-it-all-Neji didn't really know it all, what a shock. I continued to qawked at him until he shrug and said, "We'll just have to come up with one when we meet up with the rest of the band." He then turned and continued on walking. This time I couldn't wait to get to the school. I was eager to come up with a band name. It was long-overdue.

After about another five minutes of walking in silence we reached the entrance the Konaha HS. It was a huge four-story brick white building that a west and east wing connected to the main building. On the first floor was the administrater's office, the principles office, a teachers lounge, and bathrooms for the men and one for the women. It was also where they kept all the valuable teaching equipement, such as tv.s, vcr's, dvd players, writing utensils, etc, locked away. The second, third and fourth floors was where the classrooms were held. The west wing was where the extracurricular activities took place. This included art club, band, anime club(Note:we had one when I was in high school), drama club, OAP(one act play), UIL, Math club, Science club, FFA, chess club, Vollunteers, and book/library club. The east wing was for the athletics programs. Soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, softball, football, swimming, and various other sports were practiced in and out of this wing. The outdoor sports were played in the wide open fields created for the needs of the sport being played . There was a huge gym for the indoor sports and an olympic sized pool for those who were swimmers. This wing also contained a huge weight room for powerlifters and those who just like to lift heavy weights. There were at least four bathrooms located in each wing.

We continued walking and made our way to the west wing and into the drama room. It was a spacious room that could fit at least two good-sized gyms into it. The stage was located at the far end of the room. I had to admit it was intimidating, but it was the only room that could fit all of KHS's students. I've always wondered what the drama club would do with such a big room. I had at one time ask the drama teacher, I forgot her name, it was Mrs. Smerther or Smithers, or whatever. Anyway, she said it had something to do with the projection of the voice to be heard or something like that.

Shino, Kiba, Tenten, Lee, and Naruto were already there setting up there instruments, amps, speakers, whatever was needed to assist in the concert. Neji went over to his bass quitar and began setting up. All I had to do was connect my microphone and stand to the speakers and I was set. Everyone worked in silence, each of us anticipating the upcoming event. It took about another twenty minutes for everyone to finish there tasks. Once everthing was done we gathered to the middle of the gigantic stage.

"Hinata had voiced a very good question early today," Neji began,"and i'm quite surprised I didn't noticed this myself, with me being a genius and all." he smirked as he said this. Tenten just laughed and rolled her eyes while everyone else just stood and looked at Neji. I noticed that he became slightly uncomfortable underneath all the stares. He cleared his throat and continued.

"She asked why we didn't have a band name." he simply stated and waited for someone to say something. I couldn't stand the long silence that followed that statement and spoke up.

"We should probably come up with a band name before the concert today. We don't want to looked stupid because we don't have one." I said matter-of-factically.

"Well...we can call ourselves RAMEN!!!" Naruto yelled out with that goofy looking grin that I loved so much plastered on his face. I stared at him, taken in by those cerelean eyes, not really paying attention to what he just yelled.

"DON'T BE AN IDIOT NARUTO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE NAMED AFTER FOOD. THAT'S JUST LAME AND STUPID! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PICK UP CHICKS WITH A BAND NAME LIKE RAMEN" Kiba screamed at Naruto.

"TAKE THAT BACK, DOGPOOP! RAMEN IS NOT LAME! IT'S THE BEST,MOST WONDERFULEST THING I'VE EVER TASTED!" Naruto hollored back but this time getting a far off dreamy look in his eyes. For an instant there I was ALMOST jealous of the stupid, unhealthy, sodium enriched food."AND I ALREADY HAVE A HOT GIRLFRIEND!" I blushed on hearing this, okay ramen I forgive you.

"This is getting us nowhere fast, so you two quit fighting so we can choose a name already." Tenten said rubbing her temples in an effort to force back an in-coming headache. Kiba and Naruto instantly shutted up.

"How about we call ourselves THE FLAME OF YOUTH or THE YOUTHFULNESS OF GAI!" Lee exclaimed with fire burning in his eyes and set in a good guy pose. Everyone just stared stupidly at Lee's poor attempt at an acceptable band name. The first one sucked and the second one was kind of creepy. No one wants to be named after a man who wears green spandex, has a bowl hair cut, and eyebrows bushier that Lee's.

"Why don't we name the band The Hives." This came from Shino. No one said anything.

"I think the Mercenaries sound good. Or how about the Weapon Users." Tenten said, eyes a little overbright at the mention of weapons.

"Why don't we try FATE or DESTINY. I think those sound good." Neji said this(of course). No one bothered to answer him. They all knew to well his views on life. He considered everything to be destined. Fate was just waiting to happened.

"Flamers." I said, mostly to myself, everyone else just seemed to hear it.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"Why don't we call ourselves the Flamers. It makes sense doesn't it. When I go and read fanfiction and there's something you don't like you would usually leave them a flame. It tells them how bad their story sucked. Since we're telling Sasuke how much we think he sucks we should call ourselves Flamers. WE can always change it later if you all want to. It could just be a spur-of-the-moment thing." I stood there waiting for their input.

"I kind of like it." Tenten said.

"Me too." Kiba agreed.

Shino nodedd his head. Neji shrugged. Naruto came up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, complimenting on my thought out band name and Lee was saying something about flames and Gai-sensei. I was startled out of my thoughts at the sound of the first period bell rang. We said are goodbyes and went our seperate ways.

Last Period of the day, Period the concert takes place,(50 min long per.)

Okay, now I was really nervous. We were due on stage in twenty minutes. I could hear the drama room being filled with dozens of loud, curious, and rowdy students. I paced back and forth behind the stage curtains. I was already in uniform. I wore a black skirt that reached an inch above my knees, a blue spaggetti strap top that was covered with a black short sleeved vest with silver linings and black dress shoes. My hair was down and I felt there was no need for me to wear makeup.

"Hey are you okay?" I looked up and saw Tenten looking down at me with a concern expression on her pretty face. She was wearing the exact same outfit as me but her top was chocalote brown that matched her eyes and hair perfectly. Instead of black dress shoes she wore brown pumps. Her hair was down from her two buns and she only wore eyeliner to emphasis her brown eyes.

"Yes, i'm fine. Just a little nervous. I'm been like this all day." I said shuddering slightly.

"Hey, don't worry we'll do great, okay." She smiled reasuringly to me. I smiled at her and nodded.

"Okay, listen up everyone."I turned to see Tsunade-sama trying to get everyone's attention. After about a minute of hustling around the members of the band were standing in front of the principle waiting for her to say somthing. The boys were all wearing black slacks, black shoes, and a colored tee-shirt that was covered with a black long sleeved jacket. Kiba wore a red shirt, Lee wore green, Naruto wore orange, and Neji wore a beige shirt. Shino was manager so he wore his regular outfit.

" So is everybody ready to start?" Tsunade-sama asked. We all looked at each other before turning to her and nodding.

"I'm sure you all will do great. I know you will. Just go out there and play your hearts out. Don't forget the purpose of this concert." She added with a twinkle in her eye. "I'm looking forward to a great show from all of you, so do your best." she said walking away. She stopped and turn to us again. "By the way, what's you band name?"

"Flamers." I said and she nodded and went on stage to introduce us. We listened as she gave a breif speech. She stepped back behind the stage curtains and turned to us beaming.

"Now if I were you I would sick around after your donw with your song. Hanabi perpared a surprise for you and I have one also." She winked and went to inform the curtain puller to get ready. . We got in our position. I looked at everyone to see if they were ready. They nodded back at me but didn't say a word. I guess everyone was dealing with nerves. This thought calmed me down a bit. At least I wasn't alone. I gave a hand signal to Tsunade-sama and she gestured to the puller. I breathed in and out trying to calm my heart beat and my shaking. As soon as the curtains began to open the drama room quieted. The first thing I saw was Sasuke's smirking face. He seemed to be mocking me and I took that as a challenge. I straightend my back and walked up to my microphone. I stared into the audience and oddly enough I didn't feel nervous, I felt excited. This was going to be fun.

"Thank you everybody for being here. Also thank you Tsunade-sama for allowing our band to play here. This song that i'm going to sing is called Change. I wrote it and it's dedicated to Sasuke Uchiha. He was my inspiration." I said and stared at the Uchiha until he looked away, uneasy.

I nodded at the band to begin. The music started off soft and slow.(NOTE: perenthesis are Tenten singing)

I remember when the smile on

Your face used to take my breath away

When the glint in your eyes

Used to tell me you loved me

I remember those times

When I had my doubts

When I din't think that I could last

You told me everything would be alright

That you will always be there to help me through

The beat picks up to a faster pace.

But one day all that changed

You took my happiness away

You left me crying and broken(hating you)

Hurting and in despair(despising you)

But now I don't care

I'm happy and not with you

I'm happy and with someone new(someone better)

Beat goes back to a slower pace.

There was a time when I looked

At you with love and care(love an care)

Now I look at you and wonder

What did I ever see in you?(ever see in you)

You used to hold me close and

Whisper such sweet words that

Seemed to be only for me(just for me)
Now I realize that they were nothing

But empty promises and lies(all lies)

Beat speeds up.

You had me fooled(what a fool)

I believed you to be sincere

But now the only thing I believe

You to be is a bastard, lier, and cheat(bastard, lier, and cheat)

You will never know how much you hurt me

How you could throw away all our memories

In just one night, I will never know

But now I can't help but feel relieved

Because now i'm happier without you(without you)

I'm free to spread my wings and change(spread my wings)

But you will always be a bastard, lier and cheat(bastard, lier, and cheat)

Tears streamed down my face as I sang the last verse. I felt lighter as I let the music take over me. The end of the song was met with silence. I peered out at the audience an noticed that many eyes were trained on Sasuke. His face looked red with anger or embarassment, I couldn't tell which. His gaze met mine and I saw hate, anger, regret, and sorrow in his onyx eyes. I would have liked to feel pity for him but I just couldn't conjur up the feelings. I guess I still haven't forgiven him yet. That will come with time. I was awaken out of my thoughts when a loud uproar and applause replaced the silence. I surprised that we were receiving a standing ovation. I didn't think we were that good.

I gestured for the rest of the band to come upstage and bow to the audience. Naruto grinned at me and tooked my hand in his. I felt complete with him beside me. I gazed into his eyes and gave him a sweet kiss. I appreciated the blush that crept onto is cheeks and knew that my face must look the same.

We turned to the audience and bowed, all the while grinning like we just won the lotery.

"That rocked." Kiba said looking satisfied. I nodded my head in agreement. Words failed me.

"That was so awesome." Naruto exclaimed. "You were the best Hinata-chan." I flushed at the praise.

THE FLAMES OF YOUR PREVAIL ONCE AGAIN!" Lee said in his naturally loud voice. I have to admit Lee did have a point. I looked at Neji because he didn't say anything. He had a satified and proud smirk on his face so I guessed he thought the performance was worth it. Tenten was beside him beaming with pride.

"Hey guys, that was a good performance but Tsunade-sama wants up to see something she wants us to get off the satge." Shino said coming out of nowhere.

We all quickly got off the stage and Hanabi made her way up there with a projecter that was connected to a vcr player.

" Listen up everyone. I have a surprised for my sister and her band. I went trough alot of trouble to get this so nobody says a word." She said glaring out at everybody. She turned to the vcr, put in a tape and pressed play. Where a screen had been pulled down, images were displayed. It looked like a restraunt, people were walking in and out. Then came in Sasuke and Sakura. They were seated and Sasuke walked off. It showed Sakura flirting with the waiter who looked bored. Then Hanabi comes in talking with Sakura. Hanabi getting mad and grabbing Sakura's hair and her getting a knife and chopping away at Sakura's pink hair. Then Sasuke comes in and pulls Hanabi off of Sakura. Sasuke yelling at Hanabi and then Hanabi kicking Sasuke in his privates and then getting thrown out of the restraunt.

There were snickers and laughs throughout the whole thing. When it can to an end there was a roar of laughter that shook the drama room walls. I have been dying to see that, and I actually got to. I was laughing so hard my sides ached and I was sure that I busted a lung. Beside me Naruto was rolling on the floor with laughter. Even Shino and Neji were laughing their asses off. The stoic, I never show any emotion boys were actually showing ther emotions at the expense of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Who were at the moment cherry red from embarassement. I bet he wishes he never crossed me. Even Sasuke's fangirls were laughing at him. This was the best day of my life. I finally clamed down a bit to notice that Tsunade was approaching me with a women beside her.

"Hinata-chan, I would like you to meet Rin Echizen." I was confused so I held out my head and greeted the women. I turned to my bandmates for some kind of explanation, all I got was blanked and confused stares.

"It's nice to meet you all. I hope that we can get to know each other more. I would like to talk to the manager of the band." Rin said. She looked to be about in her late twenties. She had long red hair, black eyes, a button nose, thin lips, and a nice slim figure. After studing her, my curiousity grew.

Shino stepped up to the women and nodded his head. "I'm the manager but the band makes the decisions together, so you can talk to all of us."

"Alright, well I would like to make a contract with you." Rin said.

"What do you mean a contract?" Neji asked.

"It seems that they don't know who you are." Tsunade-sama stated.

"Do you mind telling us?" I asked politely.

"I'm an agent for Konoha Music Inc. and I wanted to sign Flamers up with a contract." A stunned silence met this statement. Then a squeal was heard from behind me. I turned around to see that Tenten had just pounced on Neji out of excitement and was know kissing him right on the lips. Neji was blusing a nice crimson color but he didn't seem to mind.

"Are you serious?" Shino asked.

"Yes, I'm very serious." Rin said. At this Naruto started jumping up and down, I just loved his energy. Kiba was jumping around and doing all kinds of flips, kind of like a playful dog. Lee was talking about youth and spring. Shino just stood there and I couldn't tell if he was excited or shocked. Neji and Tenten were still making out. I was so estatic at the news that I couldn't think straight. My dream was finally coming true. I was going to become a professonal singer. This was the best day of my life. I not only got to humilate Sasuke and Sakura, I also got to see what Hanabi did to them, and me and my band were going to sign up with one of the most well-known record companies in the whole world. Life was good.

End

I finally finished this story. I made up the song, so I own it. I couldn't think of a good title to the song so sorry about that. The band name is kind of lame but I think it fits. I know the song doesn't have a chorus but i'm no expert songwriter so please forgive me. I'm sorry it took me so long to update. I think it gets a little boring towards the end but I wanted to add in the record contract and the video of Hanabi. This is the longest chapter I've ever written. I'm going to revise the other chapters to make them better and more detailed. Thanks for reading and please review so I can know what you thought about the story.
