The second intsallment of the twist filled fic. So, please enjoy.


When ever you're ready, Hinata, you can start." Kakashi's voice can through her head phones in the small booth she stood in.

"Hai. I'm ready now." She smiled and she heard the prerecorded music from early come through the ear devices.

I'm trying to create something that's not there.
A spark I saw. A bomb is really just a means to an end.
I was just so happy to be out of my shell again, don't think that I really cared for who or what.
I'll just have to keep myself shut.

If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Please stop acting like you are.

How could I know that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire

My mouth's shooting blanks.
This situation's unbearable,
I've gotten vulnerable.
Now anyone is free to waltz right in.
My temple's been invaded
and there's nobody guarding it.
All over this lonely life, (lonely life)
but what's so wrong with being all alone?
Alone's the only way I've ever known.

If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Please stop acting like you are.

How could I know (how could I know)
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
I know the spark (I know spark) inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

I'm pleading cause this kills and it's still bleeding.
My darling I'm taking my life back to start healing.

How could I know (how could I know)
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
I know the spark (I know the spark) inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

Set my self on fire

Hinata let her voice go on the last note, filling it with an unknown fire. When she and the song was finished she asked, "Did Naruto and I sound alright together? I tried to harmonize as well as I could." Her voice soft and fragile again.

No response came from the sound room. "Kakashi?" She wondered if he'd left angry that the song wasn't good enough. "Hinata."

"Yes, Naruto-kun?"

"You've left him speechless. I think he likes you." There was a slight fumble with the microphone. "Hinata that was a spectacular job. Hey, for once you two did something right on your own."

There was more fumbling and some colorful language muffled before some told her she could come out. Hinata placed the headphones on the stand in the booth and left. In the sound room Sasuke was chilling on the couch flipping through a magazine, and Naruto had headphones on listening to the two mixed track together. Kakashi stood up to greet her. "I have to say at first I didn't think you had it in you, but this is good stuff. How many songs have you written lately?"

"Right now, I have three, that I wrote by myself, with me, but only one of them has music."

Kakashi stuck out his gloved hand. Hinata walked over to her bass case and pulled out all three songs. "Where's the music?"

"Naruto can I have you're guitar for a second?" The blonde handed her an orange Stratocaster guitar.

"The..the..a-acoustic, pl-please." She felt foolish for asking in the first place, but to be choosy just because she couldn't play an electric.

He handed her the same guitar he had played with her at auditions.

She placed her fingers on the neck and counted off the beats before the actual guitar came in, and mumble sang the words. Just to make sure no one could understand her, but so she could make sure she knew where she was. Her fingers moved gracefully on the neck, and picked at a beautiful tempo, giving the sound something memorable. But as the music went on it became more passionate. At the last strum, everyone applauded.

"I told you we found a keeper." Naruto said, nudging Kakashi in the shoulder.

Hinata lowered her head and let her hair fall in front of her face, to cover her glowing red cheeks. "I have a question for you, Hinata."

She picked her head back up, "Yes?"

"How many instruments do you play?"

"I can play acoustic, bass, piano, and the small bit of drums I learned from my little sister."

The room looked confused. "Hanabi started playing the drums when she was five, and got really good after two years. So, we used with each other, and she tried to teach me a little drums, and I taught her a little piano." The confusion seem to die down.

"So, if she's this fast a learner, and the three of you already have quite a few songs. We'll leave the ones in the acoustic stage acoustic, unless it doesn't fit the song, and keep the full version. Then, we should have a promotional concert in a few months, and in the downtime lay down the tracks for the CD."

Hinata's eyes were wide, all that would happen in the course of a few months. Impossible she thought. "Wow, it's good to know that we were able to bounce back so soon. Hey, Kakashi, instead of using the promo concert for Hinata's coming out, why don't we do an interview?"


Feel free to review, the next one is on it's way. I'm writing it tonight. Email me if you have ideas.
