As always,
Enjoy!

Walking to the store after telling her father that she was going to try out at the mid-semester entries for the Institution of Elite Arts Program, Indra picked up what he had asked for. Exiting the store and beginning to walk home, Indra began passing homes until she heard music actually being made by a keyboard that was an upgraded version of the one she had downloaded and danced to when she had gone to the community gym, only to come to a slow stop to look at the home.
There hadn't been a real artist name attached to the song when she had downloaded it, so when she heard Naruto's voice, she felt absolutely amazed that he had been the artist, "This still isn't good enough to enter the Institution of Elite Arts Program." Approaching to listen to the beat that was now being played, she began envisioning a dance that could go along to this track. With her eyes closed and nodding along to the beat, Indra was amazed at how much better it sounded.
Knocking on the door, Naruto answered looking shocked, "Hey Indy, what's up!" Motioning her finger forward, she chuckled, "Come here." Approaching her as she pulled her phone out, Indra then began to play the song he had made, making him shocked, "Naruto, your music is amazing! Come with me! I'm running an errand today that really could be a benefit to you. You going to try out for the mid-semester late entries?" Blushing deeply, he then nodded, "That's what I was hoping for..."
Snickering, Indra then nodded, "Well, bring everything you need. I'm going to drop this off to my father before heading to the tryouts. I want you to be my musician. That means I need you to play your music while I create a routine." Grabbing his things, he began to walk with her as he asked, "This going to be your first time trying out?" Indra shook her head at this subtly, "No... I used to go to that school. I was the famous dancer from that school..." This completely shocked Naruto.
All he could do was blurt out, "You don't mean that you're that Indra, do you?! Indra Otsutsuki?!" Chuckling softly, Indra nodded her head before looking up at the sky, "That I am..." Making it to her home, Indra handed all items over to her father, "Hey daddy, meet Naruto. He's going to be my partner for the tryouts as my aspiring music producer. I've even downloaded his music without knowing that it was him who made it. Giving a thumbs up, Shisui gave a cheeky grin, "Well good luck!"
Looking at his watch, Shisui then snickered, "Though, if ya are wanting the time to work out a routine to his music for the both of ya to be accepted, you'd better get going now. There's only a few hours until mid-semester tryouts!" Indra nodded and was about to rush out until Shisui smiled softly, "Oh, sweetie?" Turning her head back after changing and picking her dance bag up, Indra could only nod before he continued with a tender smile, "I want ya to know that I am so proud of ya."
Chuckling, Indra then waved, "Don't get too choked up daddy." Shisui then said one thing that meant the world to her, "I know that Ashura is watching and cheering for you in the same way that he always has. He's always right where it matters the most and he's always been your biggest fan and supporter... and always will be. So, it stands to reason that he's probably happy to know that you are dancing again. So make him proud." Smiling brightly, Indra nodded, "Right, I will daddy..."
Once they left and began to walk, Naruto questioned softly, "So, if you don't mind me asking... who's Ashura." The brunette smiled tenderly at this and took a deep breath, "Well, I was once a triplet. I was the first born, Ashura was the second born, and Izumi was the third born. Well, him and our adoptive father died on the same day that I won the world national title of being the best. I thought that I would never dance again due to holding the belief that his death was all my fault."
Making it to the gym, Indra then chuckled as they walked inside together, "Alright, go and get set up in that empty corner." Nodding his head, Naruto pulled his laptop out, his sound beat pad, and his keyboard that he could play different types of instruments on as Indra sat down and pulled her paws out to begin stretching as she questioned, "So, do you have a song in mind?" Nodding his head, he then hummed, "I have two in mind. Though, one of them I always envisioned it as a duet."
In the corner of the gym, Izuna's eyes were closed as a group of people began to mock someone, "He still thinks that he's good enough to be a musician or musical producer. What a loser." This made him slide his eyes open to notice Naruto setting up something. Indra then questioned as she stretched, "Can I hear that track? Was there a message for the song?" Nodding once Indra stood up, he then replied, "Yeah, there is... That people from parallel worlds can work in harmony."
"Like aliens and humans," she questioned with a snicker, making him laugh at this and shake his head, "More on the lines of one who is dedicated to ballet and the other... street dance." This made Indra blink rapidly, not seeing as to how those two things could mix, "Well, do you know how that could work out?" Naruto laughed in a chipper tune, "Not in the slightest! I just make the music!" As he placed headphones on and began to play the song... she could actually see what he meant.
Izuna listened to this song while nodding his head, completely vibing with the song while thinking, 'It's almost like he's trying to mix the world of ballet and street dance together...' Indra then gave a chipper laugh, "Well, it's too bad that you don't street dance to even see what it would look like!" That made Naruto snicker and nod, "That's true! I'm just your average co-queer for cheerleading!" Sasuke tilted his head slightly before rushing out to Indra and lifting her up happily, "Indy!"
Squeaking in shock, Indra then huffed, "Sassy, stop scaring me! Hey, do you street dance?" Lifting his brow, he chuckled, "Yeah, why?" She didn't know why, but she always carried a pair of male sweats that rolled up to the knees. Taking them out of her bag, Indra tossed them to him, "Go get changed. I wanna try something." Throwing those pants back to her, he then snickered, "Street dancing, you wear what you've got sweet thing." She supposed that made sense and placed them back.
Nodding to Sasuke, Indra looked at him, "Alright, as I make a ballet routine, make your own routine. By the end, we will mesh and blend our routines together." Ah hell... he wasn't Izuna, but he would try for her. Izuna actually moved away from the group to watch this. As he watched Indra's grace... he could tell that Sasuke wasn't getting the message of the song at all. Walking forward, Izuna snickered out, "Sassy, you're not even understanding the meaning of the song... are you."
Sasuke gained a dreaded expression, "Indy, do you see what you've done?! Everyone... and I mean everyone... calls me Sassy now!" Izuna chuckled and motioned him to move away, only for Indra to look at her watch, "Oh no! Naruto, switch to your non-duet song! I need to make choreography!" Nodding his head and switching the song, Izuna could only internally frown and wondered what the rush was for, only to step away to lean against the wall as Indra began to dance beautifully.
Right then, a voice that infuriated him was heard, "Izuna has been benched from dancing, now that is too funny." Shifting his deadly gaze over, Izuna narrowed his orbs, "Is there something you want to say to my face, you silver-haired fucker?!" Indra was effectively blocking all sound out as she called out, "Alright Naruto, start from the top so that I can see what I've got so far." Stopping his song, he then started it over for Indra to perform what small amount that she did have so far.
Seeing something that could be better, she held her hand up, making Naruto stop. Prepping for a turn, this was going to be hard to pull off if she didn't hold any and all of her focus. If she didn't hold all of that given focus, she could break her ankle. Izuna had quieted down due to knowing that she would need all of her focus while Tobirama continued to bark like a rabid dog, only for him to get in Izuna's face to yell furiously, "You won a single game out of pure chance and luck!"
Tobirama then shoved Izuna the longer he stayed silent for Indra's sake, only to furiously yell, "Don't ignore me you bitch, I know you heard me!" This had startled Indra so much to the point that she almost sprained her ankle and fell to the ground, making Sasuke gasp and rush to her, "Indy, are you okay?" Snapping around furiously, Sasuke shot daggers towards Tobirama due to knowing what Indra was making choreography for, "Dude, shut up! You could've broken Indy's ankle!"
In all honesty, Sasuke absolutely hated playing football and was constantly worried about injuring his hands. He wished more than anything that he could go to the same school that Indra and Naruto were trying out for due to his love for playing the violin and piano. The violin and piano in Naruto's tracks were from him. Taking Indra's ankle lightly and rolling it in circles, Sasuke could only huff, "Trust me, Izuna has heard every word that you have said. He's being silent for a reason!"
Naruto gained a worried expression while asking, "Indy, you okay?" Indra then nodded gently, "Yeah, I should be fine. More than anything, it just scared me." Folding his arms, Naruto could only snicker and let the cat out of the bag to shock Izuna completely, "Sasuke, man, your violin playing in Indy's solo sounds so awesome, and your piano and violin in the duet song sounds magical." Izuna turned his head towards Sasuke in a baffled manner that the strings in the solo song was him.
Turning bright red, Sasuke almost immediately shot his head down in absolute embarrassment, "What... What are you talking about? That... That's not me!" Indra was shocked as well, "Holy hell Sasuke, if you actually played during my routine, it would be the perfect addition! Groups of three can go, you know," she winked with a smile, only for Naruto to nod, "That's true man. Stop being so embarrassed over something that you love to do! If you don't apply then you won't achieve!"
Giving up, Sasuke sighed and nodded as if dreading that he were even agreeing in the first place, when in all honesty, he was just relieved that he might possibly have the chance to join the same school as his best friend and Indra, "Alright, fine. I'll be back in a bit..." Indra smiled at Sasuke due to knowing that he was feeling relief, not dread, only to shoo him off, "Go and grab your violin then so that you can warm up." Nodding, he rolled his eyes and scoffed, "Yes ma'am, I'll be back."
Jogging out after helping Indra up, Tobirama then approached her and basically purred out, "Hello again Indra." Blinking rapidly as Izuna took a drink of water, Indra then said something that made Izuna choke on that drink and laugh, "Do I... uh... know you?" Tobirama smirked and stroked her cheek, making her even more confused than before, "You met me at the last football game." Indra thought back before turning to look back to Naruto with a confused look, "Is that true Naruto?"
Trying not to laugh at this, he was about to reply until Indra checked her watch, "Yup, don't answer that, I only have two more hours." Fanning Tobirama to go away so that he ceased bothering her, Indra scowled, "If you cannot tell, I am busy." Taking her chin in his palm, Tobirama smirked, "You should come back to my apartment." Annoyed, Indra ripped her chin away before shoving the silver-haired male away, triggering him to pull his gun on her to press it to her forehead tightly.
"You will be coming back to my apartment, no matter what you want," he growled out, making Indra's bright purple eyes widen immensely before shakily speaking out, "I... I..." Nothing was coming to mind as she took a shaky step back. Izuna noticed that clear fear in her eyes as they filled with tears, making him dart forward and grip that gun to yank it away, "Leave her alone Tobirama! She's busy, so if you wish to wait for her, then stand quietly and watch her dance beautifully!"
Grumbling, Tobirama placed his gun back in its holster before leaning against the same wall that Izuna was, "Fine, I will allow for you to continue." Indra closed her eyes to begin blindly making her routine, "Naruto, go ahead." Playing the music, Indra began to improvise the entire dance beautifully and flawlessly. Prepping for that pirouette, Indra started standing before lowering down to roll out of the turn, only to then roll over her shoulder to catch herself with both of her hands.
Lowering to her feet, Indra then slid her abdomen down for a single hand to reach out as her dominant leg was brought up to do a standing split, only to roll to the ground and gracefully stand and rush across the floor to give an overextended switch Russian leap. Cataloging each movement made inside of her mind, Indra smiled softly once her dance came to an end, only for those bright purple eyes to open slowly to see all of the widened eyes, making her take a nervous step back.
"Was it... that bad," she nervously questioned, making everyone snap out of their faces that appeared as if they had just been enchanted by such a perfect dance routine performed. Izuna pushed off of the wall and approached the brunette little lady with a gentle smile, "That was absolutely beautiful Indra." Smiling at the long-haired raven, Indra then giggled brightly, "Thank you Izuna!" Sasuke then re-entered and pulled his violin out and began to warm-up in a way that shocked Izuna.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Indra then practiced for the remaining hour as Izuna watched the fascinating brunette little lady in complete and utter awe over what he was now witnessing and hearing. Noticing Indra check her watch, she then wiped her brow, "Alright, you guys pack up and get ready for showtime. I'm going to go change in the bathroom to place my outfit on before we head out!" Picking her bag up, Indra then jogged off to the bathroom to place tights and last costume on.
It was the same exact costume that she wore before quitting, the last costume before losing Ashura, and the last costume... that she became a champion with. She knew that the director would know who she was almost instantly, considering the fact that she was still the world champion. Pinning her hair back half-way and placing a respectful amount of makeup on, Indra checked her watch and nodded. Bolting out, the two musicians followed her swiftly to leave Izuna completely confused.
Making it to the Institution of Elite Arts Program, Indra fanned the two boys to follow her once she entered to stand in a long line of people wishing to gain entrance to the school. She was well aware that they only took an extremely small handful of people due to them only taking Julliard level of talent. The two boys with her looked nervous as they were handed a group number, making her chuckle, "Sheesh you two, calm down. When you play, just think as if we are still in the gym."
They both took in a deep breath and nodded until someone recognized her and walked straight to the judges to let them know through a soft whisper, "Director, council, Indra has returned to try out with two others that are musicians..." Their heads shot up at this in absolute shock, "We are only accepting three people this year, so call those three in next. If Indra trusts them enough to play her music, then they must be extremely talented." The person nodded to them and walked out.
As they spoke, Naruto asked, "Indy, do you know how the judging for this works?" Sasuke peered at Indra, obviously wishing to know the same answer, making her nod, "Yes, they used to have me judge as well. They are looking for people who are Juilliard level. They usually only take a total of three to five people. Those not holding the money to enter and are needing to be accepted through scholarship is an extremely slim percentage. However, don't let that fact make you panic at all."
"You just said the percentage is extremely thin, so how in the hell would this not make us panic?!" Sasuke softly whispered to her, making Indra chuckle, "You saw that person checking us in as a group gain widened eyes and rush off as fast as they possibly could when they noticed me, right?" The two teen boys nodded at this, making Indra smile, "That's because they knew me. Now, there are three stages of tryouts." Naruto then nodded, "Can you break the three stages down for us?"
Chuckling, the brunette nodded at this, "They will first question why you are even wishing to enter the school, and what makes you so qualified to enter. For musicians, it's a bit different. They ask how many instruments you can play. They usually only accept people who can play two instruments, which you can Sasuke. For people who are musical producers, they will only accept you if you can play an instrument and know if you can be a conductor for an orchestra, which you can Naruto."
Taking a deep breath, Indra continued, "The second step for musicians is if you know how to read sheet music by giving you a test. Along with that, they will throw out random musical scales for you to play. They have a small orchestra for the producers to play short songs so you can lead them. Sasuke, they will have a hidden classical piano inside. So don't... by any means... use Naruto's keyboard as a way of showing that you can play it. They will ask if you wish to use it as a trick."
The two nodded at this as she smiled and added in, "Ah, I forgot to mention, during the first stage they will ask if you believe that you have what it takes to become scouted by Julliard. Not many people know this... but this school is sponsored by Juilliard. I mean, think about it... Juilliard isn't that far from here. Think of this as a prep school for Juilliard. There are normal classes that you will have to attend each day, but your music is the most important part of your education in this place."
"So, when they ask you this question, don't act too snobby or too standoffish. People who brag about their abilities are almost instantly denied. Just act humble and hopeful. So, be more on the lines of... "I'd like to think and hope that I hold the talent to meet your expectations" ..." she added with gentle eyes before finishing up, "Lastly, there is the entire performance that you are wishing to give them, which will be with me. Naruto, during the performance, be sure to lead Sasuke."
Naruto and Sasuke both nodded at this fantastic explanation. Considering Sasuke had never joined the gang, he was mostly ignored by them as a whole. Both wanted to attend Juilliard more than anything, so they were hoping and praying over the matters. Indra then snapped her fingers, "When we enter, the main director will be the one questioning you, so call her director and be extremely polite and respectful. There are separate directors for each division that are called the council."
Out of nowhere, the group was approached by the same person who had been handing out numbers and had noticed her before speaking, "You three, the director and council are wishing to see you now." She saw that one coming a mile away, so she nodded, "Alright." All three bypassed the long line and entered the room, only for Indra to stop and bow, "Director Tsunade, it's so wonderful to see you again." Tsunade smiled at Indra softly, not knowing that her true last name was Uchiha.
"Indra Otsutsuki, it's wonderful to see you again dear," the director spoke out, only for Indra to rub the back of her head, "Well, actually, my true last name isn't Otsutsuki. I was adopted at birth. My true last name is Uchiha, ma'am. However, it's wonderful to see you again as well." Tsunade appeared slightly shocked at this, "Well then, I will definitely send this update to the world national champion administration to update this. Now, please step to the side, I don't need to interview you."
Looking at the boys, Indra nodded to them and whispered, "You guys have got this..." Tsunade then spoke once Indra stepped to the side, "What might their names be Indra?" Indra looked at Sasuke as if telling him that this was a trick, making Sasuke bow, "Director Tsunade, it's a great pleasure to meet you. My name is Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto then bowed respectfully as well and smiled, "Director Tsunade, it's an honor to be here to meet you in person. My name is Naruto Uzumaki."
Tsunade was already impressed with these two as she clasped her hands in front of her face, "Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, I welcome you both to the mid-semester tryouts. It would appear as if you both hold a great deal of manners by not letting someone introduce you when you are capable of doing it for yourself. Now then, let's start off with you, Sasuke Uchiha. In your own words, can you explain to me as to why you are wishing to join the Institution of Elite Arts Program?"
Taking a calming breath, Sasuke realized that this was just a person he was speaking to, so there was honestly no reason to be so nervous. Nodding his head, Sasuke replied, "Well, I love to make music... and the school I currently go to honestly does nothing to help better my life. I wish to do so much more with my life than what I am currently doing. Currently, I'm a football player that is terrified to truly play since it could end up damaging my hands by breaking the bones or tendons."
This made plenty of sense in her eyes. A musicians hands were their lifeline to that bright future. Breaking bones or ripping tendons could make it physically impossible to play the instrument or instruments that you loved to play. Tsunade nodded to him in an approving sense before speaking again, "Now then, I am sure that you witnessed that line out there, so now I ask this... What makes you believe that you are qualified to enter our program compared to the rest that are out there?"
Sasuke took a breath and hummed softly before replying, "Well, I cannot say that I am better than anyone else. How can I possibly be arrogant when I have earned no accolades? Honestly, I hold the belief that each musician is different and special in their own rights. While some like to play the scores that have already been composed, I like to make my own scores that aren't famous like the great musicians that came before me. So, all I can ask for is a chance to show my worth."
Indra smiled internally at how well Sasuke was wording everything and realized that he was honestly speaking from the heart. His shoulders weren't tense and he was speaking as if he were simply speaking to any other person on the street that he might pass. Tsunade gave another approving nod at this young aspiring musician, only to write more notes down before speaking, "I can clearly see that you are a musician with what you are carrying. Do you strictly only play the violin?"
Sasuke smiled softly and shook his head at her and gave away another secret to Indra, "No ma'am. I also play the piano and the guitar. I can also sing to a certain degree, though, everyone has their own tastes in music... so I can't honestly claim that I am good. Some people might claim to be good... but it's all about perspective." When Indra thought back to that duet song, there were vocals in it. Baffled, she replayed the vocals of that song in her mind to realize that it had been Sasuke.
Nodding her head and writing this down with a smile, Tsunade now held the belief that this young man could be a diamond in the rough, "Now then, Sasuke, I must ask you this and wish to know your answer. Do you believe that you have what it takes to become scouted by Juilliard?" Sasuke hummed softly and chuckled honestly, "Well, more than anything I would love to say yes, but I'm not another person. One person might find my playing fantastic, while another might find it terrible."
Tsunade was impressed by this young man. He fully comprehended that each person in the world held a different outlook and perspective on what they heard. Motioning the young man forward, Sasuke stepped forward and was handed two pieces of paper holding sheet music, "Tell me Sasuke, can you read these?" Swiftly skimming over them, he nodded and oddly handed both back, "Yes ma'am. I just memorized both sheets." That was a first for her. No one had ever memorized that fast.
"Alright, please take your violin out and play what you have supposedly memorized," she tested. Sasuke opened his case and made sure it was correctly tuned before tucking his violin beneath his chin before beginning to play such a short segment beautifully. Once he finished, Tsunade masterfully tried to trick him with a fooling smile, "Now, would you like to use your friend's keyboard to play the piano sheet music?" Sasuke then frowned, "I would rather play it on a normal piano."
Smiling at his answer, she then motioned to the grand piano, "Please use ours then." Indra stepped forward and was careful to not mess his tuning up when she took it, making him smile, "Thank you Indy." Nodding silently with a smile, Sasuke then walked to the grand piano and slid his hand across the top, "Wow, this is beautiful..." Taking a seat, he closed his eyes and remembered what was to be played, only to play it masterfully. By the end, Sasuke looked over to see Indra in tears.
Everyone clapped and since he memorized the sheet music, they didn't have to throw out random notes for him to play. The director smiled and nodded her head, "Very well done Sasuke. I am impressed. You may stand next to Indra now." Sasuke moved to stand by Indra as Tsunade redirected her attention to the last standing male, "Naruto Uzumaki, I am guessing you're more on the lines of wanting to be a music producer, now can you tell me why you are wishing to join?"
Naruto smiled brightly and nodded his head, "Yes ma'am. Well, to be honest, I have wanted to apply to go to this school for the longest time now. I just never knew how I should go about doing it. I figured that I would never amount to anything, so I just made music without thinking about my future over doing something that I love doing until Indra asked me to come to the tryouts with her due to the fact that she loved the music that I made. I found it to be hope in the form of Indy."
If Indra loved his music, then there was more than meets the eyes with this young man. Tsunade then nodded, "Now, I am sure with what you are wishing to do, that you know how to read sheet music and can also be a conductor to an orchestra." Naruto nodded his head at this and smiled, "Of course ma'am." Motioned forward, Naruto approached and was handed sheet music. Once he took it and skimmed it over with sharp eyes, he, too, also handed the sheet music back.
Motioning her hand to the small orchestra, Naruto approached and held his hands up for them to begin playing once he started, only to motion his hands to difference people once it was their turn to highlight. By the end, he slowly faded them out. Tsunade now knew she had her three entries for this year and nodded, "Alright you three, you may begin your performance." Setting up, Naruto nodded at Sasuke and began to start him off once Indra was in position and he had headphones on.
They watched this routine in absolute fascination and amazement. Well, they knew Indra was going to be great considering she held the world national title as the best dancer, so they focused mostly on the two teen boys. By the end of the performance, loud applauses were given as Tsunade smiled, "Thank you for trying out. Indra, as you know, results will be posted by the end of the day." Nodding her head, all three gave deep bows and exited the room while fist bumping.
Once they were out, Indra smirked, "I saw the look in the director's eyes. She's already made her choice. Welcome to the school boys." They both appeared shocked as Sasuke spoke, "You can honestly tell Indy?!" Nodding her head, she snickered, "Sassy, they already knew that I hold the world national title as the best dancer. Therefore, none of them were watching me. They were watching you two dummies and were extremely impressed with the performance as a whole. Just you watch."
The three teens then left the school to go grab something to eat, only for Naruto to nervously blurt out, "This is going to drive me insane that we have to wait so long." Sasuke took a drink of water before nodding his head, "Yeah, it's actually extremely nerve wracking." Chuckling at them as they finished up lunch, she rolled her eyes, "Will you calm down? I already told you that I know the director really well." Indra's phone then gave off a ping to let her know that she received a text.
Fishing her phone out of her dance bag, Indra picked her phone up and opened up her texts to click on the newest, only to then skim over it before chuckling, "The results have been posted outside of the school." Standing up, Indra motioned her head, "Come on you dorks." The two teen boys stood and followed after little miss guaranteed entrance while holding her hand nervously as they approached the school. Seeing all of the faces that were let down, the three approached the results.
Coming to a stop, they instantly noticed the list with widened eyes to see, 'Entries accepted for transfer: Indra Uchiha. Entries accepted on scholarship: Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. Congratulations!' Naruto slowly turned his head towards Sasuke, only for Sasuke to do the exact same before speaking, "Naruto... we... we actually did it..." Naruto nodded at this, "Hell yeah we did! This is awesome!" Sasuke then smirked teasingly at Naruto, "Guess I can't call you co-queer anymore."
Upon her returning home, Shisui looked like he was about ready to bounce off of the walls as he chirped out, "So, how'd it go sweetie?! Did ya get accepted?! What am I talking about, of course my world champion daughter made it in!" Laughing over her spastic father, Indra could only smile, "Yup! My entire group made it in!" Hearing her phone ringing, Indra pulled it out to see that it was that social worker, Iruka. Confused, Indra answered, "Uh... hello mister Iruka, something wrong?"
Placing her phone on speaker so that Shisui could hear as well, Iruka's tone rang out from the other side of the line, "No, nothing is wrong Indra. I just now got your adoptive father's will. It claimed that should anything happen to him, then your former home that is paid off is to be given to you. It's all up to you if you wish to keep it on the market to be sold, or if you wish to reclaim it." Indra looked at Shisui, who knew that the home held a dance studio, "Yeah, we'll take it back Iruka."
"Well, since it was sold to a real estate since we didn't have your father's will, all of that money for the home will still remain in your account. I will be coming to drop the keys to the home off now. See you within the hour," he spoke out before hanging up. Izumi then ran out with wide eyes, "Oh my god, we are going to be living in Indy's old home?!" Shisui then nodded with a cheeky smile, "Yup! Indra needs to be closer to the Institution of Elite Arts Program, so start packing girls!"
Izumi could only gain a dry face, "Wow daddy, way to play the favoritism card... I... I won't have to change schools will I?" Lifting his eyebrow, Shisui then hummed, "No, you don't have to if you don't want to." Indra then peered over at them. She was well aware that all of her father and brother's many cars were still there due to constantly looking at pictures of the property, so she took a breath before speaking, "Hey daddy?" Looking over, he nodded at her, "Yes? Is something wrong?"
Shaking her head, Indra chuckled softly, "Never mind, you'll see my present when we get there." Once the entire home was packed up, Indra made her father aware of two additional residents that would be joining them, which he didn't mind so much. Driving to Naruto's home, Indra parked and got off of her motorcycle before approaching to hear Sasuke inside as well, only to knock on the door. With the door answered, Naruto smiled brightly and chirped out happily, "What's up Indy?"
"Well, I figured that you two dorks wouldn't want a long commute to school," she teased, making the two teens confused as hell. Yes, it was a long commute to say the least, and that was putting it extremely lightly. Sasuke folded his arms before speaking, "Meaning?" Indra then winked, "Meaning, pack all of your things. Dad, Izumi, and I just gained word of my adoptive father's will and are moving back into my old home. You two are being given the opportunity to move in with us."
Both of their mouths dropped wide open over this, "Seriously?!" Indra nodded at this before holding her hand up, "If you want to know where we are going, I would hurry and pack." They both were neighbors and swiftly nodded, "Right! See you in a bit Indy!" With that, Indra got back onto her motorcycle and drove back to her home to begin loading everything into the moving van. When Iruka arrived, he handed the keys over and waved with a smile, "You guys take care of yourselves."
Indra got back on her motorcycle and began driving once Shisui was in the moving van, only for Izumi to ask, "Daddy, what about our cars?" Shisui chuckled at this, "We'll come back and get them honey, don't worry." With Naruto and Sasuke's belongings then loaded into the truck, they began to make the drive. After an hour drive, Indra pulled up to a gate and pressed the code for it to swing wide open. Driving inside, Indra then pulled up to the home and parked before standing up.
Releasing a breath, Indra smiled as everyone else arrived and parked. Naruto and Sasuke looked completely dumbfounded that this was where Indra had used to live. This home was any type of artists dream, considering it not only held a massive dance studio, but it also held two music studios. It wasn't only that though. Knowing that Izumi absolutely loved to sing, there was a sound studio. For Shisui, there was an art studio due to his love for painting and sketching beautiful paintings.
A while back, Indra had placed a bit over half of her multi-billion funds in her father's account so that he no longer had to worry about anything ever again. Even having a single billion dollars felt like too much, but she had over five hundred billion dollars. Izumi jumped out of the truck and bolted inside once Shisui unlocked the doors and called out, "Hey sis, is my room still mine?!" Indra chuckled and nodded before turning to her father, "Hey daddy, remember how I said I had a present?"
This made Shisui blink adorably and nod, "Yes, why?" Motioning her finger to make him follow, he began to follow his daughter as she opened the door leading to the massive garage. Walking inside, Indra motioned her hand to the many cars and motorcycles, "Pick a car and a motorcycle." This made Shisui's mouth drop wide open, "Hold up, I can't afford any of these!" Indra lifted a single brow at this comment, "Daddy, they were all paid in full when bought. So, there are no payments."
She noticed him eyeing the jade faded into black motorcycle and the black and jade SUV. Smiling, Indra turned to the key rack and grabbed the two keys before taking his keychain and placing both keys on. Pointing to both of the keys, she smiled, "This one is for the motorcycle and this one is for the SUV. The master bedroom is also all yours." Shisui took his daughter in his arms with tears in his eyes, "I love ya sweetie." Indra smiled and kissed his cheek, "Love you too daddy."
Walking to the outside closet, she opened it to find all of the riding leather jackets, only to pull out the black leather jacket with jade lines down the sides of the arms. Walking to him, she motioned to his sweatband before winking, "Take that off you dork." The moment he took it off, she actually witnessed a tattoo that made her eyes widen. There sat a tattoo that she could tell he got long ago that held a small pinwheel of names that were printed in the form of 'Indra, Ashura, Izumi'.
Unzipping the jacket, she then placed the leather sports riding jacket on him. Even she could admit that her father was a looker, so she wondered why he never remarried. Looking into his eyes, Indra questioned, "Hey, daddy?" Shifting his eyes to her, he then smiled, "Yes?" Indra then questioned curiously, "Why don't you date or remarry?" This made him smile sadly, but he did reply, "I suppose that deserves an answer. Well, I was so in love with your mother that it never really feels right."
"I get that... but I don't think mommy would want for you to live your life all alone. Think of it this way, Izumi and I won't always be here... and you deserve to be happy. While I will be here for longer due to Juilliard being not too far away, you know that Izumi is wanting to go to college in California. That's the other side of the country daddy. Give it some thought." Exiting the garage for Izumi to smack into her roughly, Indra groaned and gave her the key to a black and silver mustang.
Leading Izumi out into the garage, she pointed, "I hope you like your new ride." Izumi instantly squealed in utter joy before hugging her sister tightly, "Seriously sis?!" Indra chuckled and nodded, "Yup! Oh, daddy, Izumi, you don't need to ever pay for gas." That confused them both until Indra led them both to a gas pump inside of the garage, "There's also a gas pump and a place for you to air your tires up outside." Izumi and Shisui both then checked their watches, "We have to go!"
Indra nodded her head and wrote down the combination to the gate on two pieces of paper before handing it to both of them, along with keychain garage door openers, "Be safe." They both nodded before Izumi got inside of her basically brand new mustang while Shisui got onto the motorcycle. Waving, they both then left before Indra entered the home to snag both boys and hold their arms, "Alright, time for me to show you the best part of this house for you guys and give presents!"
Walking passed the massive dance studio, Indra envisioned seeing Ashura inside of the room while smiling at her, only for her to shift her head forward. They held all state of the art instruments, keyboard, and beat boxes. Entering the first music studio that held a gorgeous grand piano, Indra dropped their arms and walked forward to pick up one hell of a beautiful violin before walking to Sasuke, "This is for you Sassy." Sasuke looked absolutely baffled at how beautiful this violin was.
"Are you sure Indy," he asked almost nervously, making her nod happily, "My adoptive father and my brother never used it, so it's essentially brand new. Ashura wanted to be a professional football player, so he never touched it." That much he could tell on his own. Testing it, the rich sound of this violin almost made him melt, "Oh my god Indy, this sounds absolutely beautiful!" Laughing, she then motioned to the grand piano, "Our grand piano is even better than the one in Juilliard."
Approaching the grand piano, Sasuke slid his hand over it before sitting and playing it with closed eyes that seemed so serene over the beautiful sound. Indra knew how to play the piano and had even won plenty of trophies from competitions... but it got old extremely fast for her. Sitting beside Sasuke, Indra skillfully began to play with him, making him absolutely shocked that she knew how to play as well as she currently was, only for her to chuckle out, "I don't only dance, you know."
Standing, Indra left Sasuke in that room before motioning Naruto to follow her as Sasuke played with his new toys. Walking to the next music studio, Indra led Naruto forward, "For you, I have these." Her hand then motioned to the newest electric piano, beat box that could memorize what he entered so that he didn't have to continue making the same beats as he tried to play his keyboard and also lead an orchestra. Noticing his sparkling eyes, he stuttered, "Are you serious Indy?"
Nodding her head with a smile, she explained everything to him, making him amazed. Pulling out a laptop out of a shoulder bag that was specifically for music, she handed it to him, "This laptop holds everything that you will ever need. There are extra memory cards in it to save your sweet beats on. I can tell Sassy is still playing... but tell me... can you actually hear him?" Naruto shook his head before shock settled in, "These... These are soundproof rooms?! No way Indy! This is great!"
Snickering, she then watched him begin to play with his own new toys until Indra laughed, "Come on. I would like to think that you and Sassy would like actual bedrooms to sleep in." Pausing playtime, he followed her before Indra snagged Sasuke out of his music room. Leading the two up the spiral staircase, she walked to the master bedroom, "This is daddy's room." Making some distance, Indra opened her room that was still decorated as she had it before moving, "This is my room."
Leaving the door open, Indra walked to another room that still held Izumi's hand-carved and painted sign, "Well, I guess that you can tell whose room this is." Stopping at another door, Indra opened it to see all of Ashura's belongings. Tears flooded her eyes almost instantly as she spoke in a whimper, "This was Ashura's room..." Shaking her head and slowly entering the room, Indra knew that Naruto and Sasuke were the same size as her brother had once been before he had died.
Albeit Ashura holding a tombstone, he had been cremated. The tombstone was simply for people to pay their respects at. The locket that he had once given her now held one side with a portrait of all three siblings together, while the other side held a small portion of his ashes to keep him close to her heart. Walking to his closet, she opened the massive closet double doors for her brother's cologne to hit her nose. Seeing his mass amounts of clothing still inside, she motion to it all.
This wasn't registering to the two boys until Indra explained, "Ashura was roughly the same size as you both. Anything you wish to wear... I know that he would want you two to have them." Walking to one of his plaid shirts that was a dominant black with purple and silver lining, Indra took it down and tugged her shirt off without caring before buttoning the shirt up that smelled so much like her little brother. Walking back to his dresser that was inside, she snatched a couple of his shirts.
Picking her little brother's cologne up, she had to blink her tears away as Sasuke spoke out, "Your little brother smelled damn amazing." Naruto nodded at this, "Ain't that for damn sure." Picking up some of the cologne boxes that hadn't been opened, she handed them each a box with a smile, "Ashura always bought shirts and jackets from each competition of mine he went to, so if you find some, don't be shocked. He really wasn't ashamed to wear anything that held rhinestones.
Pulling out a black light jacket that held the competition name that held rhinestones in the shape of hearts on each upper bicep, she then held it close and smiled, "You actually might find a lot of shirts that hold rhinestones. He just knew how to rock it. No one ever teased him about it either due to the fact that he gave no fucks." That made both boys chuckle, "Your brother sounds like he was a pretty cool dude." Chuckling, Indra nodded and smiled, "He really would've liked you both."
Leaving the room and tossing her shirt into her room, she then asked, "Do you guys want to be on the same floor, or the third floor? This house is massive, so you can have any room you want. I have a second room that is attached to the dance studio on the first floor. Each music studio has its own room too, so you both can have your own secondary room. Each bedroom is about as big as the house I used to live in. When I first moved in that house, I was claustrophobic as hell over it."
Sasuke and Naruto both went to the third floor due to there being two more music rooms right next to another massive dance room. The only difference was that those rooms didn't have bedrooms attached to them. Carrying all of the boxes inside as the boys explored their new home, Indra carried her father's box to the master bedroom that was still fully furnished and held her adoptive father's designer shirts, t-shirts, suits, jeans, and shoes that were all the same size as her birth father.
Finished unpacking the moving truck and placing the boxes where they should go, only to pick up her phone and call out for pizza, "Yes, I would like to place an order for delivery. I would like three pepperoni pizzas with cheese-stuffed crusts. One of them, please add jalapenos." Pulling out her credit card, she then gave the card number before asked where they would be delivering to, making her reply "One - four - one - zero - zero Hidden Leaf drive. The gate code is one four two one."
Hearing this as she hung up, Sasuke walked out and questioned, "How was that code made?" Indra smiled with sadly shimmering eyes as she replied, "My adoptive father made it. There was one family living here with four members, two of which were children, only to lose one parent so that only one remained." Remembering something, Indra groaned. Her father had a hard time digesting grease, so she called back, "I just ordered. I need for you to make sure all pizzas aren't greasy."
Hanging up, Naruto then walked out while laughing, "Who doesn't eat pizza with grease? Indy, that's crazy!" Indra could only chuckle at this, "Normally, you'd be correct. However, daddy's stomach doesn't agree with grease and it actually makes him sick." This made Naruto nod, "Now it makes sense why you asked for no grease." Picking her phone up, Indra made calls to the electricity, water, and internet providers before paying to have each turned back on so her father didn't stress.
After a while of waiting and lounging around while watching television on the massive flat screen TV, the doorbell rang and Indra answered to give a large tip in the form of a one hundred dollar bill. Eating dinner, the two boys felt shocked that this pizza holding no grease actually tasted better than normal grease-filled pizza. Placing all of the leftovers in the refrigerator, the three retreated to their studios so that they could most definitely work on their skills to further impress their school.
It had now been an entire year since that day and the three were seniors that were high profile. Indra had made history by winning the world national title two times in a row. It had never been heard of before, nor had it been seen or done. Naruto and Sasuke had personally performed their music live for all one hundred of Indra's performances and had most definitely been noticed by Juilliard scouts without them even knowing or being approached by those said scouts for Juilliard.
As Indra danced in the massive dance studio inside of her home, Sasuke and Naruto walked to the mailbox outside of the gate and gathered it all. Lazily going through all of the mail as they entered inside of the home, Sasuke abruptly came to a grinding halt, making Naruto tilt his head, "Sasuke?" The only thing Sasuke could do was shakily speak out, "Naruto... we were scouted by Juilliard and are being offered a scholarship!" Naruto's head snapped to the side, "Are you kidding me?!"
Indra, hearing the commotion, pressed pause on her music and was handed a towel by a maid that was passing by. They only held two maids, unlike when her adoptive father was around and they had held twenty. Nodding as a thanks, the brunette walked out to see both boys reading over letters, "What's wrong you guys?" Sasuke and Naruto were in tears as they happily blurted out, "We were scouted by Juilliard due to personally performing at your national title competition!"
With a face that was blank for a moment, it then brightly lit up suddenly as she hugged them both tightly, "Oh my god! Guys, that's awesome! Are you going to go?!" They both looked at each other before laughing and nodding happily, "Yeah!" Naruto then snickered, "Besides, if we let you go all alone, you'll be pretty damn useless!" Swatting his shoulder, Indra puffed her cheeks up, "I am not useless without you and Sassy! I won the national title once before without your two jerks!"
"Yeah, maybe, but I heard the judges saying that since you had one hundred rounds with live performers, you won by a landslide compared to the time prior," the raven-haired teen snickered out. Pinching Sasuke's cheek, Indra huffed, "Let me read those." Handed the letters, Indra skimmed over Sasuke's, only to then skim over Naruto's and slightly pale, "Naruto... if you don't raise your grades, it doesn't matter how good you actually are. They are giving you until the end of the year."
Nodding his head, he then frowned, "Yeah... I got my report card and was actually mortified at how much my GPA had dropped." The two Uchiha then sighed, "We will help you study. It seems as if you need us more than we need you." This made Naruto puff his cheeks up before releasing a breath, "Yeah, that would actually be a huge help." Both nodded at him until Indra's phone began to ring. Pulling it out to see her boyfriend's name, she gasped out, "Oh god! It's time for school now!"
Rushing up the stairs to get changed, Naruto then whispered, "Do you think that we should remind her about who she is dating? I can't even believe that he got into the school as a singer..." Sasuke could only fold his arms and sigh, "Hmm... I'm not sure. I mean, she really only went to the other school for a month. After trying out for our school again with us, she broke her phone and got a new phone number without transferring any of her old contacts. So, I suppose there's no point."
Dressed, Indra rushed down the stairs with her backpack as the two boys and her yelled out, "Bye daddy! - Later dad!" Shisui just got into the habit of calling Sasuke and Naruto his sons now, so he poked his head out from the gym, "Be safe you guys! Have a great day!" He still had a hard time believing that he now lived in a fully paid off mansion and drove fully paid off cars or motorcycles, and had maids to do any and all cleaning and laundry for him. It had been one major upgrade.
Making it to school, Indra, Sasuke, and Naruto parked their motorcycles before standing and walking inside for everyone to wave at them while congratulating Indra for winning the world national title again. Silver hair then approached and wrapped his arm around Indra's shoulder, "Hey baby, you doing okay?" Indra huffed heavily, obviously highly displeased at this man, "Where were you Tobirama?! You said you'd be there on the day of the finals of the world national title!"
Tobirama sighed heavily, "I tried making it, but I became extremely busy." Indra then gained an extremely dry facial expression, "Extremely busy doing what exactly?!" Well, he wasn't exactly going to tell his girlfriend that he was partying, fucking other girls, and doing drive-by shootings... so he lied professionally, "I got extremely caught up with my music baby, I'm sorry." Indra tugged out of his hold on her, "Why does it always seem like only you matter?! I go to all of your little concerts!"
Sighing heavily as Sasuke narrowed his gaze due to knowing what he was doing thanks to Shisui, Tobirama then scowled, "Is there some damn reason that you two are always following my girlfriend?!" Naruto then raised an eyebrow as he answered, "Well, you'd know that if you ever went to any of Indy's dance rehearsals, recitals, or competitions. Sasuke and I are her musicians, you dick. I don't know how Indy stands dating someone like you. She hates self-absorbed people."
Rolling his powdery red orbs, Tobirama turned his attention back to Indra, "I promise to come to your rehearsal today, okay?" Peering down, Indra nodded, "Okay..." Walking to her class, Naruto and Sasuke turned around and used both hands to flip Tobirama off as they blindly followed Indra before turning around and offering her their arms. Naruto then hummed, "Did you guys hear? Tobirama was scouted into Juilliard too." Sasuke nodded his head and sighed heavily, "Yeah, I heard."
Indra's face was incredibly dry at this point as she grumbled, "I love how I have to hear these rumors from you guys..." Sitting in class, they did the learning portion for half of the day, making it time for the three to partially split while waving, "See you later for our senior showcase practice Indy!" Changing into a pair of half cut tights, short black spandex shorts, and a skin-tight red tank top. Walking out and beginning to stretch, rehearsals then started as Tobirama held intercourse.
Checking his watch, he swore that he missed her rehearsal and pushed the nude girl off of him before swiftly redressing and dashing to the dance studio. Naruto and Sasuke were now in the midst of practicing with Indra, who now only wore a black sports bra to match her shorts as she held her hand up, "Hold up." Naruto paused the song as Sasuke lowered his violin. Tobirama then entered as Naruto smirked while leaning his forearms against the tabletop that his laptop rested on.
Naruto knew that this man was about to be bitched at to hell and back due to the fact that Indra had checked the sound studio where he was normally found at for singing to see that it was vacant, making Sasuke lift his eyebrow at Naruto before turning his head around and sweat dropping, "Shit, Indy might kill him this time." Noticing how frustrated Indra was due to her furrowed brows, Sasuke became baffled. Normally, she could make routines with ease and would perform it flawlessly.
Grumbling, Indra sat down, "Let's call it a day..." Tobirama approached Indra and kissed her cheek, only for her to bitch at him until her nose scrunched up, "God, why in the hell do you smell so disgusting?!" His girlfriend wasn't willing to give him sex, so he had to get that sexual relief from elsewhere. When he had first started dating Indra, he tried to rub it in Izuna's face... but the fucker looked confused over who he was even talking about and claimed, "Okay, congratulations?"
Sasuke walked to Indra after placing his violin in its case, only to help her up, "Hey, why don't we go take a walk in the park to clear your mind?" Indra shrugged at this and sighed heavily, "No, I'm okay. I'm going to walk around for a bit. You guys head on home." Not changing, Indra tugged her running shoes on and brushed passed Tobirama with her dance bag on her shoulder. Exiting the school, Indra began to aimlessly wander around until she ended up on the bad side of town.
Making it to the community gym, Indra came to a stop to stare at a massive spray painting of a ballet dancer that was completely black to not give away who it was and was wearing a white leotard with a calf-length purple skirt as purple stars surrounded that dancer with the tag 'dare to dream'. For the longest time, Indra stared at this spray painting and had to wonder if this was a dance studio. Should this be a dance studio, maybe she could get some inspiration from another dancer.
Entering the building, Indra did notice a group of dancers and was fascinated. Madara was currently there and leaning against the wall before yawning and opening his eyes to check his watch, only to shift his head up to let his brother know that it was time to go, only to witness Indra. Rushing up to her, he appeared overly excited, "Oh my god, Indra, it's you! I watched your performance again at the world regional competition. Your performance this year was absolutely amazing to watch!"
There was a fan all the way out here? Indra smiled and chuckled, "Thank you, I really appreciate the praise." Madara then said fuck it to the gang right now and asked, "I have a question for you." Nodding her head, Madara then asked, "Will you do a dance with my younger brother?" Fanning her hands in front of her face with a blush, it was too late because Izuna had heard his brother actually holding an excited tone. Walking out, Izuna noticed this girl, "A barely dressed rich girl... huh?"
Scowling, Indra whirled around and slapped this teen across the face, "Excuse me?! Do you hold any damn manners?! I'm a dancer, you fucker!" Rubbing his cheek, Izuna didn't seem all that phased over just being bitch slapped, "A dancer... wearing that? I might not be wearing a shirt... but at least I am wearing jeans." Madara groaned softly until Indra hurled her dance bag down and removed her shoes, "Alright you self-absorbed asshole, that's it. Bring it!" Madara was now amused.
Folding his arms, Izuna rolled his eyes, "Yeah, I don't dance on the tips of my toes... princess." Right as he turned away, this girl mocked him, "Awe, poor thing. Are you too scared to dance with a two-time world national champion? I guess I can't blame your pretty bitch ass." Madara pursed his lips and began to snort out a fit of giggles as Izuna snapped around the moment a new song played and twirled around her for her to match him as he moved, only for him to take it up ten notches.
She noticed a prep for a street turn that would remain in place, only for her to turn with her leg angled behind her to wrap around his abdomen until he smirked and slid his hand across her leg as he moved out to begin fast paced footwork before swiftly dropping down to get on one arm to hold him up as his body stiffened up to notice Indra using his street pose to turn and take his hand once she leaped over his frame and rolled to the ground. As Madara watched this, he also recorded it.
Rolling over her shoulder, Izuna pushed his body to raise and land on his feet to take her hand and lift her to stand and spin behind her to place a hand against her hip as the other threaded through her own to fold them across her belly, only for her to look away the same time his face turned in the same direction. Turning out of the hold for him to pull her back so that she gave a graceful twirl back and raise a single leg while reaching to the side for his other hand to slide up her thigh.
Bending her knee over his shoulder, Indra pressed off of the ground and used his stiffened up muscles to aid her to give a graceful jump over his shoulder, making him swiftly roll to the ground to catch her so that the drop didn't harm her, only for her back to arch over his shoulder. She was amazed. Why wasn't he in her school? She would absolutely love to do a duet with him. Right as the song ended, he tugged her to his chest with a single thigh resting upon his muscular hip that he held.
Both of their chests rose and fell quickly as they stared into each other's eyes. Madara peered at them through his phone and whispered softly, "Izuna... I just became your greatest fan..." - "Indra, what in the fuck are you doing out here?!" The voice of Tobirama growled out furiously, making her peer over as her leg dropped, "Dancing. I didn't think you'd care since you never seem to want to be around your own girlfriend. Hell, I asked for you to do a duet with me... and you said no."
"When I told you that I was going to get a duet partner, you threw a damn fit and made me rethink my entire choreography," she fumed out, only for Tobirama to reach out and tightly grasp Indra's bicep to yank her away from Izuna. Madara quickly ended the recording and pulled his gun on Tobirama while growling, "Release her this instant. I don't see a pet collar around her neck with an ownership tag. She shouldn't need your damn permission to dance the way she wishes to."
Swiftly putting her running shoes back on, Indra picked up her dance bag and ran as fast as she could. Tobirama glared at Izuna deeply as Izuna gave him an annoyed face. That had been the most fun that he had ever held while dancing, and of course, this silver-haired fucker had to come along and ruin everything. While he wouldn't have minded taking her to bed in the slightest, he had honestly just been happy to have a dance partner that loved to dance just as much as he truly did.
It was now the end of the school year, which meant go time for the senior showcase. Nervous as hell as she sat inside of her dressing room, Indra anxiously bit her lip as she curled the bottom of her hair, placed makeup on, and placed on a white dance dress with black accents. She was nervous because she had wanted for this to be a duet... and it was a solo. Things never went well if it wasn't how she wanted it to be. As of late, she had even been forgetting her own dance choreography.
Of course, she knew how to improvise if she forgot some of her choreography... but that wasn't the point. The point was that she was forgetting it at all. Pacing back and forth with her dancer paws on, a knock came to the door, "Indra, you're up." Nodding, she exited and waited in the wing as Naruto started the song by playing the piano that he had gained extra lessons from Sasuke due to him being on his violin. With the curtains opening, this was one of the saddest dances broadcasted.
At the clubhouse, Madara sat down and turned the television on to switch to the channel broadcasting Indra's dance to see Sasuke playing the violin of all things. Tears filled his eyes and slid down his cheeks as he watched such a miserable performance that he could feel through the television. Shisui had been right... Indra always had a gift to echo all of her feelings out through any and all of her dances. Slowly, his eyes widened the moment he realized exactly what song this was.
It was the same song that he had danced with her long ago. The vocals were gone and Sasuke's violin became the words. Izuna then approached to see his brother crying of all things as he watched a beautiful and miserable dance. Sitting next to Madara to watch this routine, he didn't remember her again... but his eyes were also filling with tears as he watched such a beautiful dance that echoed such sorrowful emotions. Even Sasuke and Naruto were in tears. Wait... Sasuke and Naruto?!
Why in the hell were those two dunces there?! He had been wondering as to where in the hell his receiver and the co-queer of the cheerleading squad had simply disappeared to out of the blue. Hell, their football team was actually doing better now... but now he knew why Sasuke was always so damn nervous about damaging his hands and had constantly wore protective gloves during practices and games alike. He had never wanted to voluntarily play a game of bored catch or anything.
Even he knew that a musicians hands were the most important thing in the world to them. They would rather have their legs amputated opposed to breaking a bone in their hand or fingers that would no longer allow them to play their beloved instruments until they healed. It was the complete opposite for dancers though. They would rather have their hands or arms amputated opposed to shattering the bones in their ankles or legs, for that's what gave them their freedom to move.
The longer this pain-filled and misery induced routine continued on for all to bear witness to, they could hear the soft crying, sniffling, and blowing of noses of the entire crowd... and Izuna could see why they were doing so too, considering he was in tears as well at this point in time. Both brothers were now wiping tears from their faces over such a miserable dance that had the whole crowd in tears. Hearing the ending of the song, the crowd went wild with tears streaming down their faces.
Standing once her routine was done, Indra gave a graceful curtsy as flowers were tossed onto the stage. That entire routine... she had improvised. Her mind had gone blank after the first step, so her eyes were barely open and appeared miserable that she had actually forgotten her entire routine. Well, apparently it had still worked out in her favor... because the crowd wouldn't be going crazy like this if they hadn't thought that it hadn't been good. Exiting the stage, Naruto's mouth gaped.
"Indy, you forgot your entire routine and still made everyone cry. You have to have super powers," he exclaimed in a shocked tone. Sasuke walked to her and wrapped his arms around her so that she broke down and clung to him, "I let Ashura down Sassy!" Hushing her softly, he kissed the side of her head tenderly, "Nah... Indy, he's probably impressed as hell that you even could improvise an entire damn dance right on the spot that matched the tempo and resonated with the song."
Naruto then nodded at this and ruffled the back of his hair, "Yeah, that's for sure. I mean, we watched a couple of people forget a small part of their dances and run off stage instead of improvise to keep the momentum flowing. You though? Nah, you're a damn boss. You forgot your entire damn dance and just rolled with it. You had Sassy and me in tears over how beautiful the dance even was. So don't worry so much. I'll bet Ashura believed in you and is proud of your performance."
Tobirama had honestly just now got there and walked backstage, "Great job baby. That was a beautiful dance." Naruto and Sasuke both gave a lazy face before retorting at the same time, "I know, right? It was just as she had choreographed it." Tobirama foolishly nodded at this, making both mirroring males scoff as Indra gained a mortified face. Sasuke then scowled as he held Indra, "Yeah, except for the fact that she forgot her entire routine and improvised the entire thing."
"Baby, I'm sorry! Work in the studio ran way later than I wanted it to," he clearly lied. Sasuke knew he couldn't just say what he wanted to say in the form of, "Right, because everyone working in the studio also has a stunt double to run amok to wreak havoc with gang violence." Saying that, that was the worst idea that he had ever had would be putting it extremely lightly. If he were to tell what he knew, that would spell his demise before he actually made it anywhere in his young life.
For Indra... it was the same thing all over again that mirrored her adoptive father and little brother. She siphoned luck from others... so she didn't throw a fuss and gave a hurting smile as she spoke meekly, "Oh... that's okay. I... I'm not mad, so don't worry about it." Sasuke knew what was going through her mind as of now, making him hold her securely until Tobirama held his hand out to her, "Come on baby, I'll take you out to a nice dinner to make up for this screw up. Sound good?"
Gifting a weak smile, Indra's weak tone spilled out just as painfully and miserably as she had performed her routine, "Sure... sounds good." The tornado known as Shisui then barreled backstage to snag his little girl, "Sweetie, that was such a sad dance! Though... I don't remember any of that being your routine," his puzzled puppy tone jingled out, making Sasuke chuckle out, "Sup dad. Indy didn't get to do the routine the way she truly wanted to, so she improvised that entire dance."
Shisui's mouth gaped at this, only to blurt out, "Holy fuck! The Juilliard scouts were sitting right behind me and thought that routine was your actual choreography! They were so impressed that they held me back to talk to me over how proud I must be of ya, and blah, blah, blah. Of course I'm extremely proud of my little girl! Always have been, always will be!" Sasuke then leaned to Shisui and mumbled so that only he would hear him, "Dad... heads up... Indy is dating Tobirama."
Setting his daughter down, Shisui turned towards Tobirama with a darkened scowl that Indra didn't see before he spoke with a masterfully hidden 'fuck off, I hope you die' before holding his hand out, "If I gain word that you're mistreating my daughter, you'd better keep one eye open when you sleep. Am I understood Tobirama?" Naruto then laced his hands behind his head, "Well, then he's already on your hit list dad. Though, for Indy's sake, I won't say what it is out loud."
Peering towards Naruto, Indra held this look that was asking for answers, making him look up as if he hadn't witnessed her look. Oh, Shisui understood what his gained blondie son had meant by that subtle clue, so the moment Sasuke took Indra's hand to lead her to the dressing room to collect her belongings and Tobirama held his hand out, Shisui swiftly grabbed it in a bone crushing hold with dangerous eyes, "If I hear about one more fuck up, make no mistake... you're dead."
Naruto could only snicker out, actually hoping that his pseudo father would kill this fucker at this point in time, "Dad, I have an entire five hundred pages of his fuck ups. I go to the bathroom each day right before Indy's practice that he always promises to be there to watch... and he's in there with another girl doing naughty things." Tobirama lifted an eyebrow at this, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Naruto then pulled out a recording and shook it, "You sure Tobirama?"
Sitting in the changing room, Indra peered down, "Sassy..." Sasuke shifted his head to look at her before nodding, "Yeah?" Those hurt rare bright purple eyes then peered up as she spoke, "He's cheating on me... isn't he." Oh hell, why did she have to ask him that? Sighing, he could only shrug and pull off a perfect lie so he didn't have to be the one to ruin her day, "To be honest, I'm not really sure about that Indy. I think the only way you'd figure that out is by seeing what he does."
Nodding her head at this, Indra then shifted a frown from side to side before connecting those saddened rare purple eyes with his onyx eyes as she took his hand to question sadly, "Sassy... you would tell me if you knew... right?" She was making this a tad more than hard at this point due to what she had just asked. Staring into her eyes silently with sadly shimmering onyx jewels that told her everything that she needed to know, he then nodded at her, "You know that I would Indy..."
Releasing a breath of relief, Indra then stood and wrapped her arms around his neck tenderly, "Thank you Sassy, I cannot tell you how relieved I am to break up with him. I just needed a valid reason to go through with it... and your eyes never lie to me. I am so blessed to have you and Naruto always with me to keep me smiling, or I think I would've given up long ago." Wrapping his arms around her petite and muscular frame, Sasuke laid his head against her shoulder, "Milk his funds sis."
Amused at this, Indra snickered and kissed the side of his head before releasing him and taking a step back, only to motion her finger in a circle so that he turned around. Turning away, Sasuke chuckled teasingly and blindly reached back to pinch her backside, making her jump in a startled fashion as he teased, "I remember when I used to want to make you my girlfriend. However, if I tried now, it would just be weird if I dated you. Hell, I even call you sis." Dressed now, Indra chuckled.
Exiting the dressing room, Indra held her hand out to one terrified Tobirama, "Come on Tobirama, you said you'd take me to dinner to make up for not being here for my performance!" Turning around, he swiftly took his girlfriend's hand before beginning to walk away, only to turn his head back to Shisui and give a cocky smile as if saying, 'ha, I win', which made Shisui swear and almost bolted forward until Sasuke stopped him, "Indy is going to run his funds dry and break up with him."
Making it to a high-class restaurant and sitting down, she found all of the most expensive items on the menu, only to order them. Tobirama inwardly groaned while internally bitching, 'She's going to make me go bankrupt!' As they ate, Indra smiled, "So, Tobirama, can I ask you something?" Shifting his gaze up, he nodded as he took a bite of food, only for her to continue with a look of feigned worry, "Would you ever cheat on me?" Tobirama chuckled and shook his head, "No way."
Once the check was brought, Tobirama internally paled, making Indra smirk at him, "Something wrong? You won't make your girlfriend pay, will you?" Laughing dryly, he shook his head and pulled his credit card out before handing it to the waiter. Clicking her tongue, she then smirked almost darkly as the waiter returned and leaned down to whisper in his ear that his card had been declined. Pulling out his secondary credit card, he mumbled, "Split it between these two cards please."
Indra appeared so amused as of now that he finally caught on once the waiter returned with a receipt that he signed, "What's that look for?" Shaking her head, the brunette finally snickered, "Oh nothing, I'm just laughing at how much of an idiot you are. Do you think I picked all of the highest priced items on the menu because I liked them or could actually manage to pack away that much food? Oh no... this is me saying we are over." Standing, Indra handed the waiter a massive tip.
With a tip that large, she could have easily paid for their meals four times... but it did make the waiter overjoyed that she was so kind... to him at least. Returning her attention back to Tobirama who glared, he then snapped, "Sasuke told you, didn't he!" Indra rolled her eyes at this outburst, "I might be a virgin, but you don't actually believe that I don't know what sex smells like, do you? Each time you approached me in the dance studio and kissed my cheek, you reeked of sex."
Leaving him, he swiftly followed her until they were outside, only to tightly grip her arm while growling, "If you would have given me what I wanted, then I wouldn't have gone elsewhere! Now, I will only say this once. You will not be breaking up with me." Indra's eyes then widened the moment she felt a gun masterfully hidden and pressed against her abdomen as he spoke again, "Do you understand now?" Fearfully, Indra nodded her head with tears in her eyes, "Yes... I... I understand."
"Good. Now get in my fucking car," he growled out, making her fearfully nod since that gun was now being hidden due to it being nuzzled between her breasts and pressed over her frantically beating heart. Getting inside of his truck, he made the mistake of walking around to get in the driver's seat, considering the moment he began to sit down, Indra bolted from his truck and called her father, "Hello sweetie! Something..." Oh, she cut him off by yelling out in a panic, "Daddy, help me!"
Hearing that panicked tone, Shisui swore and rushed to his motorcycle while speaking, "Just keep running sweetie! I'm right up the road!" Tobirama got out of his truck and was now chasing after Indra, making her turn her head back, "Daddy, he's catching up to me! He had a gun to my heart!" She heard that motorcycle's throttle being hit to go faster, "Hang on, I'm almost there! I can see all of your hair. I'll be there in three... two... one!" Skidding to a stop, Shisui looked satanic.
Ushering his terrified daughter on the back of his motorcycle, Shisui pulled his gun on Tobirama, making him skid to a grinding halt as this royally pissed off father yelled out furiously, "What's the meaning of this?! You would dare to threaten and attempt to harm my daughter?! Bring me her dance bag right now before I pull the damn trigger!" Rushing to his truck and grabbing her dance bag, he then brought it for Shisui to lace it over his shoulder as he kept that gun trained on the Senju.
Besides Madara and Izuna, Shisui was one person that all of the Senju were warned about to steer clear from when he was so furious that he sounded proper. As funny as that sounded, they all knew what was meant the moment they were face to face with that brand of pure unadulterated evil as if the devil and all of his demons had fueled this man's fury. He was fast as hell and could shoot before you even knew what happened. Those who tried to catch him off guard never returned alive.
"Now back away slowly and keep your hands where I can see them! If you make any movements that I deem as suspicious, I will shoot," he snarled out, which Tobirama could tell that this overprotective father was not jesting by any means. Once Tobirama was far away enough, Shisui placed his gun back and hit the throttle to get Indra to her motorcycle. Dropping her off, she wrapped her arms around his neck and cried hysterically, "I... I'm sorry daddy! I... I didn't mean to scare you!"
Holding his first born daughter close, Shisui kissed the side of her head tenderly, "Sweetie, I've been scared since the day all three of ya were born. However, don't apologize to me for that. Ya did the right thing by calling me. I'm your daddy for a reason... I'm going to protect your cute ass whether ya want me to or not. Now, let's head on home. Izumi was furious when she couldn't get off of work in time to come to your senior showcase, so be ready to be tackled once we get home."
