:----:Chapter Two:----:
The smirk on Sasuke's face was something that rivaled the gods.
Sakura however let a frown grace her features as she turned to her producer.
"Tsunade-sama, what do we need him for?"
The word him came out cold as Tsunade cleared her throat.
"Well, we decided to get Sasuke to write some of the music to your songs, not the lyrics but just the rhythms and beats, you know..."
"But why? I did it all before so why can't I just-"
Instantly the girl went quiet as Sasuke returned to his emotionless state.
"The music industry is a big place. Everyday we get new material walking through the doors and we have to turn them away because of the entertainment we have out on the streets. If you want to stay in it then you must continue to beat out the competition and Sasuke here, has agreed to help with that."
"So what? Did you just up and leave your band?"
"Hn."
There he went with that mating call again.
"Can't you say anything that doesn't have one syllable?!"
Tsunade just sighed as she looked towards the calendar.
"Sakura... I am also sure you know of the date am I right."
Sakura's glare at Sasuke ceased at the older woman's words.
"Yes, I am aware."
"Well than, the studio will be open tomorow and I expect to see you both here understood?"
The two nodded as they left the room and Tsunade took a long drink of sake.
"Damn kids..."
:----:
Stuck.
Stuck in an elevator.
Stuck in an elevator with Mr. Icy Cold pants. Oh, how she was enjoying this...
"So, you keep your identity secret...why?"
Oh well, wasn't he the master of starting a conversation.
"That's none of your business."
"Sensative subject? Heh, or is fame to much for bubble-gum hair to handle?"
Sakura twitched.
Bubble-gum hair?
"I don't know, tell me Sasuke do the chick's dig chicken butt hair?"
Dumbfounded Sasuke searched for a response but he wasn't fast enough since as soon as the elevator doors opened Sakura flew from the building.
'This is going to be interesting...'
"Dumb Uchiha bastard..." she muttered making her way down the street.
It was almost six o'clock and if she was lucky, she would still be able to catch Ino's dance class.
Ino was the master of old school hip-hop and taught a class every now and again to kids who couldn't really afford it, it was always funny to watch Shikamaru be a guinea pig test subject for all her new moves.
The building was old, but to Ino any room was danceable.
Sakura noticed the class hadn't quite started when she walked into the seperate room Ino used as an office.
"Ino?"
"Ah Sakura. You came tonight...did you have a rough day?"
"Rough doesn't even begin to describe."
"Come on forehead tell me all about it."
Sakura smirked at that old nickname.
"Sure thing pig."
Sakura proceeded to tell her all that happened at the office and Ino's jaw had once again hit the floor, perhaps it was time to get that checked.
"So seriously? Uchiha Sasuke? Do you think you can get me tickets?"
Sakura sent her a glare as Ino's hands shot up in defense.
"I was joking. But seriously, how bad can the guy be?"
"He's horrible!"
Ino let out a small laugh as the two made there way into the rehersal hall.
"All right everyone... five, six, seven, eight..."
:----:
The dance was enough for Sakura to get out most of her anger, and most of her bodies water supply as well.
"See you at school tomorow Sakura!"
"Sure thing Ino..."
Sighing Sakura grabbed her bag and walked out of the class. However as soon as the door opened her anger returned in the form of an annoying raven that needed to be shot down.
"What the hell are you doing here..."
"I was bored. Without my band I don't have much to do..."
"So you followed me here, that's nice..."she replied sarcastically.
"So you dance?"
"Nope."
Sasuke frowned as Sakura picked up the pace back to her apartment.
"Well if you don't dance what would you call that?"
"Training to fight in the war dumbass."
"Ah, a sarcastic sense of humor eh?"
Sakura turned to him as Sasuke abruptly stopped.
"Listen chicken head. I don't like you, nor do you have to like me. However as unfortunate as it is, we have to work together. The key word being work, I don't have to see you anywhere else at any point in time understand? So leave me the hell alone..."
"Aa."
Sakura began to walk towards the stairs of the complex when Sasuke smirked.
"Don't worry Arisa Fujikawa, this could end up being quite the adventure..."
"What the hell did you just call me?"
Sasuke's smirk grew as Sakura scowled.
"I just speak the truth Sakura..."
"Well you can take that truth and shove it up your-"
"Sakura-chan!"
The two teens turned to see a blonde haired kid running their way as Sasuke began to walk away.
"Ne, Sakura, who was that?"
Sakura just shook her head as they walked into her house.
"I've tried calling five times but she didn't answer and-"
"Mom, I am home!"
"Sakura! Do you know what the purpose of a cell phone is?" Misaki asked as Sakura laughed nervously.
"Sorry mom it was turned off, Oh and Naruto came to visit."
"All right dear..."
Naruto could only smile cheesily as they headed up to Sakura's room.
Naruto was also probably the only boy, besides her big brother, that Sakura would let in her room.
Dropping her bags and falling on her bed Sakura sighed.
"Tsunade told me about today..."
"Ya, did she tell you that I have to work with the biggest bag of douche in the entire world..."
"She may have left out that part."
Sakura sighed as Naruto sat down on her bed.
"He know's that I am Arisa Fujikawa and who know's what that fame smothered bastard will do because of it."
"I am sure that he won't do anything too extreme."
"Naruto-kun, his hair is black, his eyes are black, I am sure that blackmail is not out of his league..."
"Bitter today aren't we."
Sakura only turned to the side as Naruto smiled and noticed Sakura's stare.
"Hey, did the doctor's say anything new about your mom?"
Sakura only shook her head as Naruto's smile faded.
"Nope. It's gotten worse too... the other day she fainted and hit her head on the table..."
"Sakura...why don't you drag your mom to the best doctors in japan."
"'I've already asked her and she says that if this is what she was born with then she's going out the same way. She's so stubborn..."
"I see where you get it from..."
Sakura just rolled her eyes.
"As selfish as it seems, I wish she would go to the doctor and stay with me as long as she could..."
"Say, when does Kanaye come home?"
"He said he would be home tomorow...but that depends on how long those stupid business partners of his take."
"What did he say about it?"
"He say's it's mom's choice and I'll stand behind her..."
Naruto just nodded.
Sakura's dad and Tsunade had been friends since grade school and so when he was sent to live with her. he never spent a day away from Sakura or her elder brother Kanaye.
"However on a lighter note...did you understand the math homework?"
Sakura sighed.
"You call that a lighter note?"
:----:
Three twenty-nine pm, one more minute and it was off to the rehersal hall with none other than the cause for global warming itself.
The bell finally rang, and Sakura walked as slow as was physically possible towards her locker to grab her books for homework.
"Sakura-chan!"
"Ah, Ino what is it?"
"Me and Shi-kun want to know if you and Naruto want to come to a party I am having tonight?"
A party? That would be good since she would need a break after her session from hell with Sasuke.
"Party eh? Well why not, I'll be bored stiff anyways."
"Cool, and try to dress nice..."
"Wh-"
Before Sakura could ask why Ino was gone. Sakura shook her head and continued to pick up her books.
'You may be my best friend, but sometimes I just don't get you...'
Walking down the street she saw the familiar black car waiting and jumped inside.
"Hello Sakura-hime..."
"Ichigo, can you please drive as slow as possible..."
Ichigo just nodded deciding not to question the young girl.
:-:
Sasuke sat in the rehersal room tuning his guitar when Sakura walked in with a look of unhappiness etched onto her face.
"You're late."
"And your gay."
Sasuke just raised his eyebrow.
"What did you just say?"
"I called you gay...you know homosexual...normally I love gay people, but in your case I am willing to make an exception..."
Sasuke just growled as Sakura pulled out her notebook.
"So Mr. Fancy pants guitar player...any ideas on music since your in charge of that feild..."
"I have a few ideas..."
Sasuke played her what he had for the song when Sakura smirked.
"What if you changed the G chord to an A chord...?"
Sasuke did so but it didn't sound quite as good.
"I guess thats okay then."
"I believe this is why Tsunade-sama hired me..."
"Can it Uchiha..."
Three hours of work later they finally had the right idea for a song.
"So all you need to do Bubble-gum head is make the wonderful lyrics and Tsunade will be happy-"
"Why bubble-gum hair?"
"Well your hair is naturally pink right?"
"No. I dye it on a regular basis," Sakura stated sarcastically as Sasuke smiled.
"I'd be careful what you say to me, for I am not the one with a secret identity."
Sakura growled as she walked out of the room.
Ino's party had better be good or else she'd be pissed.
