:--:Chapter Six:--:
She hated events like this.
She always ended up fashionably late.
A cliché if she could ever realize one.
Fancy parties and events required fancy clothing, fancy shoes that made your feet hurt, fancy makeup that made you look like a hooker, and she hated parties.
"Sakura-chan!"
Naruto was here?-
"Naruto-kun? What are you doing here?"
"Hello! This is the asian music festival! Why wouldn't I be here?"
Apparentely she failed to realize that small tidbit of information.
Eyes wide she was pulled by her bodyguard towards her dressing room where she found her half face mask awaiting her.
She was acutally surprised at how naive the population could be at times.
Pulling on the brown wig and her mask she placed her blue contacts into her eyes and stared at herself in the mirror.
"One of these days, I will reveal myself for you mom."
"Bubble-gum hair you in there?"
Look who decided to show up.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch I am coming..."
Opening the door she was surprised to be pummeled to the ground by a certain blonde haired person she did not recognize.
"Uh...hello?"
"It's so wonderful to finally meet Arisa Fujikawa...hey why did you call her bubblegum hair hmph?"
Sakura sent a small glare Sasuke's way.
"It's an inside joke Deidara," the former raven haired member stated.
"I can't believe you get to work with such a beautiful women little Uchiha, I mean I am constantly surrounded by men, I believe I am starting to question my sexuality."
He wasn't the only one questioning.
"Listen Deidara, you'd better go back to the band, if they find you were with me, your ass would be grass and they would be the lawnmowers."
"So true, Sasuke. Oh, and Arisa, please make me proud!"
Deidara was shoved out of the door as Sakura raised her eyebrow.
"What can I say I am fly paper for freaks."
"So can I ask why you failed to remind me that it was the asian music festival tonight?"
Sasuke smirked as she sat down in Sakura's make-up chair.
"I didn't need you crumbling under all the stress. Besides, if I would've told you, you wouldn't play that brilliant song."
Slightly shocked at the fact this hard-core rock player called her song brilliant she quickly recovered and began tremble.
"I can't play that song. Not here, not now, half of Tokyo is here, not to mention most of Japan will get this on there television sets."
Okay, she was freaking out...well maybe that was a bit of an understatement.
"Arisa!"
She looked towards Sasuke, who had suddenly come very close to her.
"It will be fine, just play like you did at the school. You're a professional, you'll be fine."
"You know Uchiha, you're one of the biggest assholes I have ever met..."
Sasuke smirked.
"And for that I guess you deserve a thank you."
"With all these thank you's I've been getting, I am starting to get ideas," Sasuke stated as he leaned towards Sakura.
"Oh and what would those idea's entail-"
Before he could answer the door flew open to reveal a sumo-sized bodyguard stating that there was only five minutes to show time.
"See you on stage bubble- Uh, I mean Arisa..."
Sakura nodded as she looked at her self once more in the mirror.
"You can do this Sakura!"
"Okay Hidan, please stop singing...hmph."
Deidara was holding his hands over his ears due to the fact that Hidan's singing was enough to make even Ghandi slit his wrists.
"Guy's get it together, we have to impress the asian nation if we want to become famous like Gackt. Not to mention we have to surpass that brown haired blue eyed thinks she can sing rock star."
Itachi's words were cold as Deidara smirked.
"You know she and your brother have some sort of chemistry going on. I could sense it through the tension, I think he may have a thing for the rock sensation."
"Deidara stop playing, everyone know's chibi Uchiha only likes tomatoes," Sasori stated laughing.
"Can it you guys someone's coming!"
"Itachi?!"
"Sasuke?"
"Don't underestimate us..."
"Would the members performing please make their way to the stage"
"Well...let's go Akatsuki..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to the thirtieth annual Asian music festival. We have many of Japans best playing including the chart toppers, Arisa Fujikawa, Akatsuki, Antic Cafe, Gackt and many more..."
Sakura took a deep breath back stage as she paced. She had never been so nervous before, so why start now? Was the question she continued to ask her quivering hands.
She turned to her left as she made contact with something hard.
"Oh I am sorry-"
"Not at all."
Sakura looked up into cold dark eyes that reminded her of a guitar player.
"So Arisa, are you ready to play tonight?"
"Uh, yeah."
She could form great sentences.
"Come on guy's we're up first."
Soon the other members of the band followed the cold guy towards the stage.
"So I see you've met the band."
"Gah! Uchiha You scared me asshole!"
"Well sorry. If you weren't busy trying to figure out wheather or not to fangirl them, then it wouldn't of scared you!"
Where in the seven hells did he get that idea?
"For your lack of information, I just bumped into that other dumbass taking over the mic on stage!"
"Itachi bumped into you? Onii-san is such an ass..."
"Onii-san? That bag of douche is your brother?"
Her statement was louder than she had meant it to be when the said 'Bag of douche' replied to her.
"Well sorry if I pissed the princess off!"
Sakura blushed as the announcer finished his speech.
"Without further adieu, Akatsuki!"
Sakura watched as they wow'ed the crowd and found that her trembling began to increase.
"Arisa-chan!"
"Naruto?"
"I just wanted to wish you good luck before you went on, the crowd is really full, and these guys are playing super well..."
Great. As if she wasn't already nervous enough.
"Hey! Dobe! Can't you see your making her sweat! Get your ass back to the audience!"
"Whatever teme!"
Naruto walked away when realization dawned on him.
"What! Dobe!"
Soon enough security had shooed him away and Sakura placed her head in her hands.
"Ignore him."
He should apply to that american show Dr. Phil.
She smiled a little thinking about Sasuke trying to help people fix their problems.
'Although he did help fix mine-'
"Yo, Arisa, you okay?"
Snapping from her trance she noticed that the tech people were setting up her keyboard.
"Well it's now or never..."
Walking out to the stage she immediately heard the applause of the audience as she sat on the bench placed infront of the keyboard.
Sasuke pulled up his chair beside her making sure his acoustic guitar was ready to go.
"Good evening Japan!"
This earned even more cheering.
"I know that many of you were expecting a rock song tonight!"
Even more cheering.
"But tonight, I planned something a little different."
And the cheering stopped.
Giving a small nod towards her, Sasuke played the first note as Sakura joined him in a duet.
"Little child, be not afraid, the rain pounds hard against the glass..."
The entire audience stood in awe as Sakura continued to sing her heart out as Sasuke would join her during the chorus.
"They harmonize well together," Kanaye stated from his surprise seat in the audience.
"Ita-kun, they are good hmph?"
"That's my girl," Tsunade stated.
It seemed that no one had noticed how close the two musicians had gotten until the final words of the song were spoken.
"Everything's fine in the morning."
Suddenly Sakura felt two lips covering hers as the audience gasped, and one fan in the front row stood up.
"ARISA FUJIKAWA AND SASUKE UCHIHA ARE KISSING"
Fucking Clichés.
