:--:Chapter Ten:--:
Touring.
Was really not as awesome as those television series and dramatic movies make it seem. It's a lot of scripted rehersal, of the same thing, put into a tour of three months. You'd sing the same 'random' song, make the same 'random' sarcastic joke, do the same 'random' movements and make the crowd sing-a-long to a 'random' song. Oh yes, how she loved to tour.
Not only was it a lot of work musically, but missing that much high school was not such an easy task. With final exams coming up, and a lack of focus, she was pretty much fearing the worst, even though she had found someone to tutor her.
He may have been a douche bag, but he was her douche bag. Also, this douche happened to be extremely good at math.
"Okay so X goes over Y?" Sakura asked as Sasuke shook his head.
"No you bring the two over and subtract the X from the other side."
Sakura shook her head and resisted the urge to throw the textbook through the wall.
"Can't I just quit and join a really powerful gang and beat up people for a living?"
"Where do those ideas come from?"
"Oh the power of Imagination, hun."
Ya, she and Sasuke had grown a lot closer, and had learned that they were more a like then they had first noticed.
There relationship was pretty much open and boy did Sakura get one hell of a phone-call from Ino and Naruto asking her to explain what was headlining the papers.
Even though Ino had Shikamaru, she couldn't help but notice the slight jealousy in her voice.
"Uh, Arisa?"
"Oh sorry," she stated snapping from her thoughts. "I am just a little bit preoccupied."
"What's on your mind?"
What a broad question. There was the fact that there Tokyo stop was next, the fact she still hadn't cofessed the truth to Sasuke about Gaara -which she intended to do when she got the guts,or he revealed her-, the fact she may not pass her exams, and the fact that at school, they couldn't be a couple. Oh her mind was completely full.
"Nothi-"
"I know you better than that by now," he stated wrapping his arms around her.
At first she would've considered this extremely out of character for Sasuke, but over the past three months she had grown accustomed to it.
"Well, what's going to happen to us?"
She felt Sasuke put his head on her shoulder as he whispered in her ear.
"What do you mean?"
God, what a turn on.
"I mean that I am playing two roles here, famous rock star, and average Japanese high school student."
"Well what do you want? I can wait-"
God, how could he be hers?
"Well, I planned on revealing myself, the last day of classes, since Kanaye suggested that would be the best way, so then all those stupid-ass fanboys can take a summer to get their feelings in check."
"Then we'll wait."
"But-"
"No buts, besides that's only two weeks away, and until then, I am only dating Arisa Fujikawa."
"What did I do to deserve you?" She asked as Sasuke smirked.
"Easy, you pissed off the ruler of heaven, who sent me from hell to ruin your life?"
"Well in that case, his plan just failed."
Sakura smirked as she kissed Sasuke on the lips. Feeling his tongue graze her lower lip she granted him access before pulling away to breathe.
"Math?" She asked still slightly dazed.
"Blast, seems I was foiled by your extreme search for knowledge," he stated as Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Not everyone can be a genius."
pOpOpOpOpO
"Rise and shine my beauties!"
'God, remind me to kill Deidara when I get my hands on him,' Sasuke thought noticing that his arms were wrapped around Sakura.
Smirking he kissed her neck as Sakura moaned.
"Kanaye, five more minutes-"
"I am sure if your brother were doing this to you, it would be quite awkward."
Sakura's eyes instantly snapped open as she sat straight up.
"Where are we?"
Sasuke smirked.
"Home."
Sakura's smile soon covered her entire face.
They were finally back in Tokyo for their last touring stop, and after this she could go back to being a normal High School- wait, who was she kidding, she was never normal.
"Listen I hope you two are decent!"
The sound of Itachi banging on the door, mixed with his ever loud vocals made Sakura and Sasuke cringe slightly.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch, come in!" Sakura yelled.
Itachi had become like a big brother to her over the tour, she did however, notice that even though he looked out for her, he was still jealous that she was more popular over Japan.
"Get up, that crazy Ruki guy wants us to do a sound check before they set up all the banners."
Sound checks had to be lame.
"Okay we'll be right there."
Sakura put her hair into a pony and kicked all the math to the side.
It had taken her eleven straight days of nothing but math, but she got it done, with Sasuke's help of course.
"So excited?"
Sakura turned to her lover and shrugged.
"Not really, it's going to be the same thing again, only this time, Naruto, Hinata, Ino, and Shikamaru will be there."
Sasuke noticed her sadness and couldn't help but let a little bit of emotion go through his black orbs.
"Kanaye's not coming?"
He wondered if she knew she talked in her sleep.
"I don't know, I sent him a ticket, but he's still being a little bit bitter you know?"
Sasuke nodded as they made their way into the stadium.
Sakura had to laugh when she saw Akatsuki warming up to the Beatles song 'Let It Be' since the only words they knew were...let it be.
"Deidara, wrong song!" Hidan shouted as Sasuke smirked and Sasori through his drumstick at the blonde's head.
Sakura had come to realize that this was what happened at every tour. The first time she was slightly worried that Deidara was hurt, but even then she couldn't help but laugh.
Watching Deidara pick up the sticks and toss them back to Sasori, Itachi raised the microphone towards Sakura,
"Really?" She asked as Itachi nodded.
"So what do you want to sing?" Sasori asked.
"Well what do you know how to play?" she retorted.
"Seriously Girl, we can play anything," Deidara stated in a way that made him sound gay.
"Okay, how about...Crucify Sorrow?"
"She goes for the chart topper," Sasori stated. "1, 2...1, 2, 3 GO!"
pOpOpOpOpOpO
Two hours later, with her hair and make-up completely done she sat twidling her fingers really wishing she had something to do.
"Nervous?"
"More like anxious." She replyed sitting on the couch.
Sasuke let out a small smile.
"Sir you can't go in there! Sir!"
"Arisa-chan!"
Sakura almost fell off the couch as Naruto burst through the door. She didn't realize quite how much she missed him until he tackled her in a hug.
"Naruto-kun!" She replied almost seeing the hole that Sasuke was burning into the blonde's head with his glare.
"Oh step off Uchiha-teme, I know she's yours, besides I got my own girl," Naruto said smirking. "Speaking of which, come in guys!"
Soon, Hinata, Ino and Shikamaru walked in and engulfed Sakura in a hug.
'He can be sexy when he's jealous.' Sakura noted.
"Ari-chan, I am so happy your back, school just isn't the same without your sarcastic self!"
"Thanks Ino-pig," Sakura muttered, as the loud mouthed girl turned to Sasuke.
"And you!" She pointed her finger at him accusingly. "You better not hurt forehead or I might have to take away any chance you have at reproducing!"
The men in the room winced as Hinata and Sakura smirked.
"She would do it too," Sakura whispered in Sasuke's ear.
"That's what scares me..."
Soon enough the stage director poked his head through the door to let everyone know there was five minutes to show time.
"Well good luck Arisa and Uchiha-teme," Naruto stated linking his arm with Hinata's.
"See you Sakura-chan, good luck!" Hinata stated.
"Hurry Shik-kun, we'll be late!"
"Troublesome."
Sakura turned to Sasuke.
"Shall we?"
"I believe so."
On stage Sakura felt her palms sweat more than usual as Deidara gave her a hug.
"You're going to do awesome...hmph"
"You too Dei-kun."
"Sakura?" Sasuke asked as he plugged his guitar into the amp.
"Let's do this!"
They're opening song was filth in the beauty in which Sasori, Deidara and Hidan joined as the band members.
Sakura's voice was strong as she sang out to the largest crowd in the entire show.
Once the song finished the sweat was evident on her brow.
"How is Tokyo tonight?"
A series of cheers were heard.
"Let's give a hand to those band members I borrowed from Akatsuki!"
The cheers were just as loud.
"Now give a round to the new couple!" Deidara stated into his mic as the cheers increased ten fold, and both Sakura and Sasuke were trying to hide their blush.
"Yes everyone Dei-kun and Sasori-chan are dating!" Sakura stated as the cheers were even louder than before.
She smirked in satisfaction at the flustered team.
"Sorry guys that was just a joke. Now we'd better get on to another song!"
They played all the songs on the CD and on the last verse of 'Lullaby for a Stormy Night' Sakura had to resist a repeat of what happened at the AMF with Sasuke.
"Thank's for coming everybody! And now please welcome my friend, and lead singer of Akastuki, Uchiha Itachi!"
The cheers rang as Sakura walked off backstage to grab some water.
"You were amazing," Sasuke stated.
"Thanks, you weren't too bad yourself."
"You know that line is pretty cliché?"
"Sasuke, in our world, what isn't?"
Sasuke had to admit he had nothing to say to that statement.
The two were backstage and Sakura was dancing to Akatsuki's songs. Something that Sasuke had to admit, turned him on.
"I can't believe this is their last song-"
"You know, I always liked this song."
"Maple Gunman was only three under Filth in the Beauty."
Sakura was right about that.
If anyone was her true rivals it was Akatsuki. Since Gackt was already the god of the Japanese rock industry.
Suddenly Sakura felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
"I thought the rule was no cells during the performance?!" He asked with his eyebrow raised.
'For emergencies' she mouthed.
"Arisa Fujikawa."
"Sakura, I am sorry I couldn't make it!"
"Kanaye?"
"I really wanted to come, but I got tied up with this business offer, and so I sent my ticket back."
Sakura's heart sunk.
He didn't make it...hold on. The front seats were full. She may not have been able to see the distinct features due to the stage lights...but who the hell was in his seat?
"Kanaye, it's alright really."
"I am sorry for being such an ass, I guess I just had a lot of pent up anger, and the fact that your secret is still there was the perfect way to release it."
"It's okay, but I should really go-"
"Kura-chan, I noticed that your meds are still-"
"What-ch...I can...ch hear...ch you!"
Sakura shut the phone and soon felt Sasuke behind her.
"You know, if you ever do that to me, I'll know your lying."
"I don't know if I'd ever do it to you, besides this can be our little secret," she stated aiming to kiss his cheek, but he turned his head to capture her lips. "If you continue to do that I don't know if I can control myself."
"Who's asking you too?" Sasuke asked as Sakura rolled her eyes.
"I am not looking for a repeat of what happened four months ago."
"Point taken."
She smiled as Akatsuki walked off the stage.
"Amazing job my boys!" She screamed as she hugged them.
"Better watch out chibi Uchiha," Hidan stated with a smirk.
"Ya, your girl seems to be a player," Sasori muttered.
"Ya but this player also thinks I am gay," Deidara stated remembering her comment from the previous hour.
"Hey that's right! Why did I have to date him? I mean Hidan is way more his type," Sasori muttered as Sakura resisted the urge to laugh.
"Okay Tokyo please welcome Mr. Gaara Sutaka!"
Sakura froze and felt Sasuke wrap his arms tightly around her as if to protect her.
"Hello Tokyo, would you please help me welcome Arisa Fujikawa on stage to accept her award."
"What's he scheming?" Itachi asked as Sakura sighed.
'He's got something up his sleeve...' Sakura thought as Sasuke leaned down.
"There's no way your goi-"
"What is Arisa not here? Come out Arisa, wherever you are!"
"Oh no, he did not just taunt me!" Sakura stated.
"Arisa-"
Ignoring the warning tone in Sasuke's voice she walked on stage to hear the cheers of Japan once more.
"Gaara, thank you," She stated going to hug him.
"What the fuck are you up too fuck head!" She whispered harshly so that the microphone wouldn't catch it.
"Why Arisa-chan I thought that was only reserved for Sasuke-kun." Gaara stated as the audience gasped.
"Well Gaara, I decided that I needed to let you know I've moved on to a guy who's not lacking in the woman pleasing department, if you know what I mean."
The audience laughed, when Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata and a now steaming Naruto were trying to figure out the plan of the one man they wanted to kill.
"Such harsh words Arisa..."
"It's not my fault, that Gaara's penis is small!" She sang holding the last note.
"Wow an amazing singer and a comedian," Deidara stated as Itachi held Sasuke back from barging on stage.
"Itachi, let me go, he's up to something. Why the hell would there be an award!"
"Let's just see where this goes, I mean if she needs us we're right here."
Sasuke was going overprotective boyfriend, and the members of Akatsuki were also ready to pounce if needed.
"Well Tokyo I would like to Arisa to step foreward and accept the award..." Sakura walked closer as Gaara pulled off her wig.
A chorus of gasps, and wide eyes now stared at the bright pink hair of the girl on the stage.
"The award of being nothing more than a fake."
Sasuke and the rest of the crew ran on stage and glared at Gaara when something surprised them.
It was Sakura...and she was laughing?
PopOpOpOpO
A/N: Okay this is now my longest chapter.And I quite enjoy it. Now to the questions.
a) Since i am amazing like that, I plan on making the sexual humor and perhaps scenes increase in this story if the readers don't mind. So please let me know, cause I will have to increase the rating if so.
b)The next chapter might not be out for a while, I have a couple of busy stretches coming up so bear with me.
Sakura is sick. It will become more prominent in the next few chapters, but nothing bad will happen to her. Yet. Maybe. But as of right now, besides the gaara drama I decide to leave it at that.
d) Please review!
