Again I own nothing!

Chapter Two: Welcome to the Jungle

Sakura had very little experience in the ways of club going, but never did she think it would be like this. There was very little in the way of light, only the strobe lights and the colors flashing gave any way as to what the club looked like. The sea of bodies dancing and moving as one seemed almost hypnotic.

The place was packed needless to say. Sakura looked down when she felt something brush her arm and realized it was Hinata moving closer to her. She could see Hinata's mouth moving to say something but the hard thumbing of the bass on the walls and music was drowning out any sound the girl was making.

Sakura's nerves were immediately on high alert, and anxiety was beginning to creep up within her. There were so many people.

Ino smiled and moved in close to her friends. "This is great isn't it?"

Temari glanced at Sakura and Sakura could judge by that look that the girls nerves were about as on edge as hers were.

A guy walked up to Ino and smiled. "Hey cutie, can I buy you a drink?"

Sakura went to say something to him but Ino cut her off. "Sure, I'd love that!" She yelled.

He turned towards the bar and started walking Ino towards it.

"I don't think she's ready for this kind of life!" Temari called over the music with a smile. Sakura nodded. "We better stick close so nothing happens to her."

Sakura linked arms with Hinata who continuously apologized for bumping into people. Sakura felt Hinata jerk her arm just about out of socket and spun around, ready to knock someone out. However, she saw that Hinata had run straight into a guy with short blonde, spiky hair, who was helping her up off the ground.

"I-I'm so s-s-sorry!" Hinata sputtered to the man. The guy scratched the back of his head, seemingly nervous himself. "No my fault, I didn't mean to knock you down!"

Hinata smiled some, and Sakura could see the guys face go a bit red.

"You d-dropped your drink, I'll g-get you another one!" The guy laughed and shook his head. "It's alright, I didn't really need another one anyway."

Sakura let out a small breath she didn't know she had been holding. She was surprised to find her fist balled up, ready to hit him if he was disrespectful or malicious to her friend. She really wasn't known to be a fighter. Sure, she had an attitude and could really get onto someone, but fighting? She willed herself to calm down. There really was no need to be as on edge as she was.

The guy began to back up into the crowd and waved at Hinata. "Oh wait I didn't get your name!" He yelled. Hinata blushed and was about to speak when Ino linked arms with her. "Let's get drinks Hinata!"

Hinata smiled a bit at her friend, but turned to tell the guy her name and found that he was already gone.

Temari smiled at Hinata. "So, who was the cute guy that you ran into?" "Literally," Sakura finished with a laugh.

Hinata blushed. "O-oh I didn't get his name."

Sakura smiled and took a sip of her drink. "So Ino how long until this band of yours start's playing."

As if on cue the lights all went out and a lone guitar riff began to drift through the speakers.

Ino jumped up and down and grabbed Sakura. "To the stage we go!" Sakura laughed some and grabbed Hinata. Temari finished her drink and set it down at the bar and followed her friends to the stage.

Once again Sakura felt her nerves go on edge the closer the girls got to the stage. People were screaming and waving their hands in the air, moving in every directing, and bumping into each other without a care.

Ino didn't seem to mind and started moving with the crowd swaying and waving her hands in the air. Sakura turned to see Temari push some guy off of her and yell at him.

A single light came on the stage and the guitar swiftly cut off. Sakura heard Hinata gasp and looked up at the stage as a steady beat began filling the air. Seated at the massive drum set was the blonde guy that Hinata had run into earlier.

As the drum beat increased two more lights came on illuminating two guitar players. The first had long brown hair going down his back, he was dressed in a white shirt and black jeans.

Sakura found her own eyes drawn to the guitar player stage left. His hair was jet black and was slightly spikey towards the back. He was dressed in a simple pair of dark jeans and a black t-shirt, and a pair of chucks. The bass player's hair was tied back into a spikey pony tail, he was dressed in a dark green shirt and black jeans. His bass guitar hung almost lazily around him.

The last light came on to reveal the singer, grabbing the microphone and screaming something into it. Sakura ducked as hands shot into the air, yelling along with him. Ino started screaming louder and jumping up and down. Sakura followed Ino's gaze to the singer. He had short jet black hair, pale skin and dark eyes, which seemed to be locked in on Ino, a small smile graced his lips and Sakura had to admit, he was slightly cute, but his smile was a bit off putting.

As the music started it was like a live wire fueling the concert goers around the group of girls. Sakura watched as a few guys began pushing each other until it looked somewhat like a fight had broken out. Sakura had heard of a mosh pit before but had never actually seen one and this looked a bit, well painful. People where shoving each other, pushing each other, some people were falling on the ground and being stepped on.

Sakura felt herself instinctively pull Hinata close. Hinata gripped Sakura's arm and smiled nervously. People were not getting as crazy on her side of the crowd and she felt very thankful for that. Sakura paled as she watch some girl try and grab Ino and pull her into the pit.

She reached up and grabbed the back of Ino's black corset and yanked her backwards out of the girls reach.

Ino turned and smiled some. "Thanks." "Maybe getting so close to the stage was a bad idea Ino!"

Ino shook her head. "This is fun!"

Temari huffed next to her. "Speak for yourself, you haven't been punched in the back yet."

As the song came to a close the crowd seemed to be momentarily sated.

"How's everyone doing tonight?!" The singer screamed into the microphone.

The crowd responded with a loud yell back. Ino smiled. "That's him!" She screamed. Sakura rolled her eyes and glanced at the guitar player with black hair again. His posture was so cool and collected. As the band rolled into another song she watched as his hand slid up and down the neck of the guitar, his fingers never missing a cord.

He truly was talented. She looked back to his face and gasped slightly in surprise. He almost seemed as if he was looking directly at her. Surely not with all the other people in the audience. She tried to brush if off, besides there was no way he could spot one face in the audience with as bright as the stage lights were.

However all through the show she felt as if his eyes were always on her, sending shivers down her spine.

"We just want to thank everyone for coming out tonight! It's been real!"

Sakura felt herself get pulled out of her trance as Ino grabbed her arm. "Let's go! We have back stage passes and I'm ready to see Sai!"

Sakura made sure that Hinata and Temari were right behind her before she started following Ino. She lead us to the edge of the stage, where yet another bouncer was placed.

"Ladies, you can't go in."

Ino smiled and once again produced her passes. "You were saying?"

The bouncer rolled his eyes and stepped aside. Ino sauntered in before the rest of us. "You'll have to forgive her, she's not right in the head." Temari mumbled to the bouncer.

"We meet again!" Called a male voice. Hinata jumped and turned towards the voice and blushed as the blonde drummer walked up to her.

"H-Hello again." Hinata murmured softly. The guy reached his hand out. "Name's Naruto, and you?"

Hinata stared at his hand for a moment before gently taking it. "H-hinata."

He smiled some. "That's a pretty name!" Hinata blush deepened. The blonde's blue eyes landed on Sakura. "Nice to meet you guys, you must be the girls Sai was talking about."

Upon hearing his name the vocalist of the band turned around and smiled…creepily when he saw Ino. "Ino, it's good to see you again, so glad you and your friends could make it out tonight."

Ino smiled and ran up to him, throwing her arms around the guy. "You guys were amazing." Sakura frowned slightly, Ino hardly knew this guy and here she was flinging herself on him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the hug. "Well thank you!" He said as equally cheerful.

"Troublesome noise." She heard another voice speak. Temari blinked and then gasped. "I thought I recognized you!" She pushed around Hinata and the Naruto boy and walked over to the bass player.

He gazed up at her before a momentary look of shock passed his features. "I could recognize that lazy posture anywhere, Shikamaru."

The boy smirked slightly. "Long time no see Temari."

Ino smiled from where she was attached to Sai, who seemed just as attached to her. "See Temari aren't you glad you came with me now?"

Temari smirked, placing her hands on her hips. "Yeah I guess."

"Hn, we need to get our stuff packed up."

All eyes landed on the man in the back of the room. His eyes glanced at the group a look of boredom and annoyance clear on his face.

Sai frowned. "Can't we hang out just for a little bit Sasuke?"

Naruto nodded and slung his arm around Hinata's shoulders. "Yeah teme, lets hang out for a while." Sakura glared at Naruto and pushed his arm off Hinata's shoulders. "Keep your hands to yourself."

Naruto frowned some and looked hurt, and Hinata laughed some.

Sasuke sighed and pushed off from the wall he was leaning against. "Do what you want you all want to do."

He walked past the group and Sakura couldn't help her eyes from following his movements. She shivered as his arm brushed hers when he walked, and as he walked past her he cast a glance her way, and she could have sworn she saw a small smirk form on his lips.

Naruto laughed and scratched the back of his head, a nervous tick, Sakura noticed. "You'll have to excuse Sasuke's rudeness."

"There is another band that's going to start playing here soon, do you guys want to go out and watch with us?" Sai asked hopefully.

Ino's head spun towards her friends so fast Sakura was sure she had whip lash. "Please guys!"

Sakura sighed, really not wanting to go back out into the sea full of bodies. But, tonight was Ino's night and she wanted her friend to have a good time.

"Fine let's do it."
