Chapter 2-The beginning of an intro
Music…it's really something…it's what some people enjoy for a while…for others…it's what they live for…and for some…it's music…the beatings of their hearts combined with a dash of spirit and inspiration from their souls within…Introduction…the beginning of a song. Without it, the song starts without any warning, a dangerous notion, though exciting and mysterious…

"-And so, my fans, the environment I work in and the plain poetry and beauty of everyday life inspire me."
The blond girl sat back in her chair and smiled sweetly at the black whir-ing camera. The reporter was a woman dressed in a professional black suit and wore far too much make up. The star tried not to look at her too much since she shuddered every time she saw the woman's face.
"-and now, before we leave, last question Yamaino-san. Our sources tell us that you may be collaborating with a new band whose lead singer is the famous Uchiha heir who disowned his family on national television. What made you think of this sudden collaboration and Why? What do you think the outcome of it shall be?"
What?!! Huh? No one told me about this!!! Sakura!!! Okay, don't panic…Oh geez, what do I say?!!
The pop star was sweating inside, but on the surface she just smiled.
"Well…um…You'll just have to wait and see, right? I'm not answering the rest of your questions since that was the last one you were supposed to ask."
Shit!! What did I just say?!!
The reporter forced a smile and ended the show with her signoff. The moment the cameras were off, she faced the star with a look on her face.
"What the hell was that!!? You were making me look bad!! Look bitch, you may think since you're a pop star and all, you can just make all the rest of us look bad! Well, don't mess with me or I'll see your career goes down the drain before you can say, ' Bite me bitch!!' "
With that said, she turned on her heel to storm off, thinking that she had gotten the better of the girl. Too bad she missed seeing a purple heel clad foot in her way and fell.
"Whoops. Sorry, it was an accident, I swear."
With a triumphant grin, she went back to her dressing room. Inside, she found the cherry blossom laughing her head off.
"Oh my god Ino!! That was so awesome!!! She was all "you're dead bitch" and you just tripped her up!! So cool!!!"
She burst into hysterical laughter once more and Ino joined in. After a while, they finished laughing. They decided to go down to the bar to get some drinks.
"Whoa…this is so cool!!"
Both girls were in awe of the décor in the bar/lounge downstairs. It was called the Jewel. Entering it was like stepping into a new world, where everything beyond was exciting, beautiful, mysterious. Small fashionable chandeliers hung from the ceiling assorted with different colored shards. At first one would think they were glass, but upon closer examination, they were actually beautiful, yet sturdy faux jewels. There were lounge chairs and couches decked in velvet of deep red and purple. Along the glassy bar area were long shelves with bottles, cups, and mugs, even jars of different colors, all lined up behind and around the bar. Around them, they could hear voices and laughter coupled with music from the speakers near the stage. There was a live band performing that night. This was not surprising as the place always had a band, but that day, it seemed like it was more of a big deal than usual.
The girls snapped out of their amazed trance and decided to go find seats and order up some drinks. As they walked past crowds of people, Sakura and her blond friend heard a bit of conversation.
"…Oh yeah!! The lead singer is totally hot and from what I hear, is loaded as well."
"….he's not part of any band but is just performing here for some reason. I heard that his manager came up with some idea to stick him with a popstar…"
"…NO way!! Uchiha!! Really?!! Unbelievable…"
//Wait a second. Backtrack. Did I hear Uchiha
Ino's head snapped back in recognization of the name. She suddenly remembered to ask the cherry blossom about this "so called" deal she hadn't heard of yet. Taking a sip of her drink, she focused her eyes on her friend, all thoughts of snagging the tall, dark and handsome guy in the corner forgotten, almost.
"Ne, Sakura. That reporter harpy, didn't she say something about this Uchiha guy something about how I'm supposed to perform with him? Huh-Hello!! Sakura…Sa-Ku-."
Ino never got to finish her questioning. Cause at that moment the crowd began to cheer and turn towards the stage. Music started playing softly and suddenly…A deep, crooning voice began to sing…

Sorry to cut everyone off like that. ; I wrote this 4 months ago, and found it just now. I probably had more to write but I'd forgotten it, so I'll try my best to recover whatever memory of plot I'd been saving for this...
