A/N: OMJ!!! I'm SOO sorry for not updating sooner! And ?I'm REALLY sorry for such a short chapter! But....I have excuses, and they ALL apply to ALL my fics.
1) I am the type of person who can only linger on something for a short while until I need something new, hence my 'post new stories before finishing old ones' situation going on
2) My Internet connection stinks and I can't post much
3)I don't get the chance to type much
4)School started
5) Alot of my family have recently died or become horribly ill
Still, I shouldn't have abandoned you all like that!! I'm sorry! And also, I'm sorry that this is such a filler chapter, but they needed to....I dunno. It just needed to be here.
"Oh my god! Sakura, you should have been there! They were AMAZING! Especially the bass guitarist. Seriously, is it just me or was he checking me out? I mean, he just kept STARING at me! And then that blue guy winked at him, like, encouraging him or something, and I could have SWORN that he blu- hey! Forehead! Are you even LISTENING to me?!" Ino asked, cutting off from her speech on how 'awesome and wonderful' the guys who played at the bar last night after Sakura left were.
"Huh?" Sakura asked, her thoughts snapping back to this world.
Ino huffed, and just continued walking next to Sakura in the halls of their school.
Suddenly a hyperactive blond joined the two females, annoying the other blond.
"What do you want, Naruto?" Ino groaned.
Naruto smiled in that fox-ish way of his, then simply stared at Ino with a knowing look in his cerulean eyes.
Ino blushed under his intense gaze, then tried to cover it up by snapping "What do you WANT, NAR-U-TO?!"
His smile widened into a grin that reached his eyes, and he stated "Ino, I didn't know that you were attracted to other blonds, probably almost as stupid as you"
Ino's eyes widened in surprise, and she punched Naruto as hard as she could right in the jaw.
It wasn't a hard blow; Sakura could punch much harder, but Naruto's eyes widened nevertheless as he tried to roll away from the punch.
Sakura snickered, and then she looked at Ino impatiently. Ino caught her look and mumbled something that resembled a not sorry, 'sorry' in Naruto's direction.
The pinkette nodded, the continued out of the long hall, down the stairs into the school's courtyard, where Ino finally caught up to her, leaving Naruto behind to tend to his terrible (not) wounds.
"You're a bitch sometimes; you know that, right, Ino?" Sakura asked out of nowhere.
Ino smirked and said "Yeah, I know"
Sakura smiled, and kept walking.
The two were silent for awhile, and then Ino turned and asked "It's Friday, right?"
"Yeah, why?" Sakura asked quizzically.
"Well…since we don't have to play again until Saturday night, I thought that maybe we could check out the band playing tonight" Ino suggested, blushing lightly at the end.
Sakura raised a thin pink eyebrow. "Is it that band with the blonde?"
Ino blushed even harder "N….no!"
The pinkette laughed. "Riiight. And I'm Cleopatra"
Ino huffed. "Fine. You win. So…do you think we should all get together and go?"
Sakura nodded. "Why not? If we need a reason, we can tell Jiraiya that we needed to relax and check out the competition"
Ino positively beamed, and Sakura almost had to squint her eyes to see through the blonde's brightness.
Ino pulled out her phone and started texting the others of the group.
"Ready, un?" Deidara asked.
The silver-haired man nodded, rather stiff.
"Chillax, man. Everything's gonna be fine, yeah"
"That's what you think, asshole!" the silver haired man snapped, his nerves on edge from stage fright. WHY oh why did he have to have the best vocals in the whole group?
"Hidan, calm down. It's just a stupid gig. Honestly, I don't see why you get so worked up from stage fright" Konan called from her spot on Pein's lap, in his seat at the edge of the stage, out of sight so that when he entered for his first solo guitar piece the audience would be surprised.
"I DON'T HAVE STAGE FRIGHT!!! IT'S JUST FUCKING NERVES!!!" he shouted, and then he tried what his therapist told him to do when he was angry. Breathe in, breath out. Breathe in, breathe out. In…hold…out. Happy thoughts. Flowers. Rainbows. Unicorns. 'Fuck that' he thought. Death. Heavy metal. Jashin. Blood. Pink haired girls in miniskirts and fishnets. Then his rhythmic breathing halted. Pink haired girls? Miniskirts? Fishnets? What the fuck? Was that one girl always going to be in his thoughts? Sure, he wanted to get in her pants really bad, but didn't he to do that with all hot girls? Whose names he rarely remembered from the one-night-stander?
"Yo. Suck it up, pretty-boy. Sing. Like, now" Kisame called from his corner by the drums.
"Shut up, Fish sticks!" the Jashinist hissed
Kisame grumbled and cussed under his breath, but didn't say any more to him. All fish-boy did then was check the drums. 'Useless fuckhead' Hidan thought to himself.
"Almost show time!" Jiraiya yelled happily. Personally, Hidan thought that he was a useless lump of old trash, who was WAY past his prime and needed to go join Jashin to serve as a lowly servant eternally. But perhaps Jiraiya was too lame to even serve Jashin. Hidan nodded to himself. Yeah, that's it.
A shoe made contact with the back of Jiraiya's head, and Hidan's violet eyes slid past the old man to land on a blond-headed male who was grinning like the cat who ate the canary. "Nice hit, Barbie!" Hidan called.
Deidara flicked him off, and then went back to.....whatever he was doing.
Then Jiraiya gave the all-clear, and Hidan put on his sadistic smirk that all the fangirls loved. The band started up, and the crowd began to shout drunkenly in greeting.
"You fuckers ready?!" he growled into the mic. The crowd screamed even louder.
"One, two, three, go!" Deidara started.
(A/N: Personally, I get annoyed when for this kind of rocker-fic-thing authors put in lyrics, but I'll do it in case you guys like to read it)
(Hidan, Deidara, Pein, all) (I'm sure you can figure out the rest if I decide to even put it in)
I see you walking home alone
Your face is alive and bright
But you can't see how weak you are 'cause I could end it tonight
It's the feeling you get when you think that someone behind is watching you
Well I can tell you know that someone is me and I'm about to make it right
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd HIT THE FLOOR
I creep up from behind, touch your neck
Move down your spine
You take a look and breathe so sharp
Just a matter of time
Don't scream I ask of you but then you let one out
So now its time to go
I come down on you like a ton of bricks
All over so it's time to go
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor [HIT THE FLOOR]
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd HIT THE FLOOR!
Take this from me, I don't wanna hurt you
Take this from me, I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU!!!!
After several passed out fangirls were hauled out of the bar and harm's way, the band began the next song.
What do you see when you're in the dark,
When the demons come for you?
If only you could have seen
How fucked up my life used to be
Then everything starts to change
Supposedly healing my pain
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
It's all these demons haunting me
It's all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
It's taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again
And now I look through my mind's eye
And see where my past needs to rest
It's always disturbed by these voices
That echo inside of my head
Another way that I can hide
Another reason to crawl inside and get away
From everything and everywhere and everyone
No!
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
It's taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons......again
Facin' the days as I grow into my own
Loving and hating's the same
And three-fold I told you
It comes back with laughter
Over and over again
Its coming back
It's taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again
Her emerald eyes continued to widen as they stared up at the band onstage. They were good. No, not good. Awesome, magnificent. No, better than THAT. They were….they were…..Jashin, they were the gods of music.
She couldn't stop her eyes from traveling to the lead singer. He had amazing violet eyes that captured her own, even when they weren't looking at her, and gleaming moonlight-silver hair that was slicked back. He had a pale complexion, as if he rarely went into the sun, but he had well-defined muscles, and he showed them well, too. He wore a black button-up that wasn't buttoned at all, and he had no shirt on underneath, revealing rock-solid six-pack abs. He was, all-in-all, gorgeous. And. Best of all, better than his husky-but-smooth-like-silk voice, better than his adorable sadistic smirk and better than his overall handsomeness, was his necklace. He wore a necklace of the Church of Jashin. He wore the necklace that matched hers, except his was silver, since the Church of Jashin gave it's highest male members silver Jashin pendants, and females got onyx-colored ones.
As he finished up the last song, his eyes met hers and they stayed locked until the blond that Ino continued raving about dragged the gorgeous man
