For the next hour Kiba drove and kept looking nervously over at Hinata you just sat silently in the seat. He decided enough was enough and tried to break the awkwardness of that car ride, "Those paparazzi are really annoying aren't they?" Hinata didn't respond she didn't even look over at him. Kiba drummed his fingers on his steering wheel as he stared at the red light turning willing it to turn green. "How about some music?"

He turned on the radio and Sasuke's voice came through the speakers. "I'll always love you."

Hinata slammed her fist against the off button on the radio, "LIAR!"

Kiba pulled the car over in an alleyway and turned off the car. "I'm sorry Hinata."

She shook her head as she said, "I just hate him right now! I mean how can he do this to me! I thought he loved me! I wouldn't be doing any of this if it wasn't for him. I wish I never entered that stupid contest it ruined my life."

"How can you say that? You are living the dream."

"You better wake me up because this is a nightmare! I mean my family hates me, I never see or talk to my friends anymore, my boyfriend brook up with me, the paparazzi never leaves me alone, I barely get anytime to sleep, I just wonder if this is all worth it. I could have been in college right now having a normal life!" She pressed her head against the dashboard and groaned.

Kiba patted her back, "Normal yes but not a better life. I think everything happens for a reason and I also think you were meant to do this."

She didn't remove her head when she asked, "How do you know that?"

He removed him hand and smiled, "Because when you are performing you have this smile on your face. And it doesn't matter where you are sitting you can see your eyes sparkle when you sing. And I should know I have the best seat in the house the one closest to you."

She sat up, "That's really sweat Kiba. I can't believe how easy it is to talk to you. Thank you for listening to my stupid problems."

"It's no problem I'll always listen to you. That's what band mates are for." Hinata smiled and hugged Kiba just as a flash went off. She turned to see a paparazzi taking picture of her, "Oh no!"

Kiba quickly started the car, "Do they ever leave you alone?!"

"No they don't ever leave me alone just drive!"

Kiba speed out of the alleyway and back on to the streets and that's when Hinata noticed the time. "No, No, No please do not tell me that is the time. Please tell me that the clock is broken!"

"No why what's wrong?"

"My rehearsal starts now I didn't realize we've been gone so long. Kakashi is going to kill me! Can this day get any worse?"

Kiba pulled on to the freeway where he hit bumper to bumper traffic. "My guess is that it can."

Hinata let her head fall on the dash board again, "Why me?!"

Kiba reached over and grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. "Don't worry I promise that I will get you to the concert no matter what it takes."

She knew she had to take his word for it and her heart dropped when her phone rang and she recognized the ring. She didn't want to pick it up but she knew she had to. "H-Hello Kakashi."

She almost dropped her phone because of how load he yelled, "Where the hell are you?!"

"I am on my way but it looks like I am going to miss sound check."

"MISS SOUNDCHECK! HINATA WHAT THE HELL? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS GET HERE SOON OR YOU'RE FIRED!" And with that he hung up the phone.

Hinata was on the verge of tears as she put her head in her hands, "I hate my life."

~Back at the Concert Hall~

Kakashi practically broke through the doors of the Connect Four dressing room, "YOU FOUR ON STAGE NOW!"

Neji almost dropped his bass, "Wow what is your problem?"

"MY PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE AN EMPTY STAGE AND NO ONE IS DOING A SOUNDCHECK!"

Naruto stood up, "But I thought Hinata always goes first."

He stomped his foot, "WELL HINATA HAS DECIDED TO SKIP HER SOUNDCHECK! I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME! ON STAGE NOW!" The three boys ran past Kakashi and kept running towards the stage. "WHERE IS SASUKE?!"

The bathroom door swung open and Sasuke walked out, "What?"

"I NEED YOU ON THE STAGE NOW!"

Sasuke shrugged, "OK."

This surprised Kakashi, "What no fight?"

"There is no point. So I'll see you at the sound check."

Kakashi watched Sasuke pick up his guitar and head towards the stage. "Can this night get any weirder?"

~After the concert~

Sasuke hurried off the stage all he wanted to do was to get back into his hotel room. But he wasn't having any luck Naruto caught up with him, "Hey man let's go out and grab something to eat."

Sasuke shook his head, "No thanks I think I'm just going to head to my room for the night."

"What's wrong?"

"Did you not see the duet I had to do with Hinata it was so awkward?"

Naruto did remember he just didn't want to mention it, "Oh come on you and Hinata are rock star couple you break and make up all the time. You both just need to cool off and everything will be ok again."

He just sighed, "I don't think so but I'll see you tomorrow."

Sasuke spent the next hour playing his guitar trying to clear his head. It wasn't working he didn't know what was happening his girlfriend was exhibiting diva-like tendencies and she was the only one that couldn't see it. And now they were broken up a tomorrow it will be all over the papers. He hadn't felt like this since the last time they broke up. He quickly remembered how he dealt with his problems before and before he could stop himself he was up and walking over to the mini bar and pulling out a bottle of liquor.

With liquor in hand he crossed back to sit on the couch, He was about to take off the top when his conscious caught up with him. He sighed heavily at put the bottle on the table, "Come on Sasuke you are not that guy anymore. You have changed and it's because of Hinata that you changed. But now she has changed….is it because of me?"

He only wanted to talk to one person at that time. He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed, "Hey it's Sasuke are you still in town?...Good can you come over? Ok I'll see you in a few."

~With Hinata~

Hinata has just showered and changed and was about to order room service when she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and asked, "Who is it?"

A voice on the other side said, "Room service."

She opened the door, "But I didn't order any…Neji?"

There stood Neji behind a cart full of food. "Hey I thought you might be hungry."

"Sure come in, come in."

The two cousins sat, ate, talked and laughed for hours. She patted Neji's shoulder "Thank you Neji I needed this I've just been so stressed lastly."

"Is that why you've been acting so…….for lack of a better word strange lately?"

"It's part of the reason I guess. But I don't think I've been acting so strongly."

Neji knew he had to be very careful with his words, "Missing rehearsals, yelling, fighting with Kakashi, breaking up with Sasuke…."

She quickly interrupted him, "HE BROKE UP WITH ME!"

"That doesn't matter Hinata. You have to think of your career first now. And that career involves Sasuke and you two have to work together and the best thing you can do is at least be civil to each other when it involves work. That's if you guys cannot work out your problems and be together again. But you are only going to find out if you can if you go talk to him."

She sighed, "You are right."

Neji smirked, "I know now go talk to him now!"

She immediately jumped up and exited the room she was nervous not knowing what to say when she opened the door. But she didn't have to think about what to say because when she got there it wasn't Sasuke who answered the door. She was at a loss for words when the door opened and there was Temari smiling at her.
