Ok, Last chapter was horrible. I'll fix it later. I'll try to make this one better, fair readers! I Shall!!

Uwaki- Unfaithful

Gomen-Nasai - I'm Sorry

Normal POV

Kakashi sighed as he entered his opera's lobby. Speaking to nobody.

"Mystified, all the papers say, we are mystified, and suspect foul play! Bad news on soprano scene, First Ms. Karin, now the Cherry!" He said to nobody in particular. The paper in his hand was wrinkled with the pressure of his hand. His face (Unmasked! Agasp fair readers!) was pulled into a small smile.

"Well atleast the seats get sold. You know, gossips worth it's weight in gold!" He said to the two maids on the stairs, washing on their hands and knees.

"What a way to run a business, spare these unending trials. Have my cast disappears, but the crowd still cheers...to hell with what we play!" He said happily. He was standing on the top of the stairs now, looking down on the golden floors and beautiful statues. Way better than the junk business!

"This is horrible! They'll all walk out! Kakashi this is horrible!"

"Obito, please don't shout!" Kakashi said, his ears covered by his pale hands.

"It's publicity, brother! And it's free and vast! Soak it in otouto! This is wonderful!" He said smiling. Obito frowned. His blue jacket was covered in snow and was darkening quickly from the water.

" We have no cast, baka!" Obito shouted. What did Kakashi see in this? Opportunity? Hardly!

" Obito, have you seen the news? Oh-" Kakashi looked down to his brother's hands. Clutched in them was a note

"-I see you got one too..." Kakashi finished. Obito sighed as he opened the envelope and read the note.

"Dear Obito, what splendid gala. Sakura was in a word sublime. I was greatly relieved when Karin left. Why must you cast her when she's seasons past her prime?"

Obito sighed as he shoved the letter in his breast pocket. His brother frowning as he opened the off white envelope.

"Dear Hatake, just a brief reminder. My salary has not been paid. Please, no one likes a debtor, It's better if my orders are obeyed!"

Kakashi grumbled and shoved the note in his pocket. As a friend would say, how very troublesome.

"Who in their right mind would send this?" Kakashi asked to no one in particular. The brothers were leaning against the railing on a small balcony of sorts, overlooking the vast lobby.

Obito shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "These are both signed O.G..." He mumbled. Kakashi's eyes widened with realization.

"Opera Ghost!" He said suddenly. Obito nodded his head and squinted his eyes.

"This is nothing short of shocking! He's mocking our position!" He said, slamming his fist down on the railing. His other hand swept through his jet hair.

"In addition, he wants money!" Kakashi grumbled.

"Where is she?" The brothers turned around, Sasuke at the foot of the stairs.

"You mean Karin?" Obito asked.

"No, I mean Sakura-chan." He answered. His blue uniform shone under the mini-chandelier, a replica of the one in the stage area.

"I take it that you sent me this note!" Sasuke said, meeting them halfway up the white stairs. The brothers shook their heads.

"No, of course not!" Obito said, obviously flustered. The note in the Uchiha's hand was crumbled slightly. ' I recognize this handwriting...but where?' He thought .

"How should we know?" Kakashi asked, his voice carried through the opera in a boom.

" She's not with you then?" Sasuke asked , obviously irritated.

"No! Why would she?" Obito asked. He sighed and took the note from Sasuke's hand. Sasuke glared at the note, hoping it would burn.

"Do not fear for Haruno-hime, the angel of music has her under his wing, make no attempt to see her again." Obito sighed in frustration and rubbed his temples. He groaned. What a headache...

"Where is he?!" A shrill voice boomed from the oak doors. Sasuke turned around to see Karin. Her big red and fuchsia dress made her seem more rich than she was, a note in her hand.

"Oh! Welcome back!" Kakashi said. Karin stormed up the Uchiha madly.

"Who?" Obito asked.

"Your precious patron! I have your letter, a letter which I rather resent!" She said. Sasuke arched a delicate blue brow.

"Did you send it?" Kakashi asked.

"Of course not!" Sasuke said madly.

Karin sighed and handed the Uchiha the letter. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. The Uchiha opened the letter and sighed before reading it.

"Your days at the Opera are numbered. Sakura Haruno will be singing on your behalf tonight. Prepare for a great misfortune if you even attempt to take her place." Sasuke scoffed and crumbled the letter. He swiftly pelted it behind him.

"Hah! Who the hell does this Ghost think he is!?" Sasuke sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Kakashi and Obito glanced at each other and nodded.

"Far too many notes for my taste! And most of them about this Haruno girl." Obito said matter-of-factly. Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"Infact, all we heard since we came was this one girl's name!" Kakashi said nodding. He and Obito took her by her arms and lead her up the stairs. Her pouty face frowned.

"Haruno-san has returned." Surprised, everyone turned toward the voice. Tsunade and her daughter, Ino, stood next to the foot of the spiraling stair case.

" Where precisely is she now?" Obito asked. Tsunade shook her head.

"I thought it best she'd be alone." Ino nodded. "She needed rest." Ino said softly. Sasuke nodded.

"May I see her?" He asked. It sounded more like a demand than a question, but Tsunade let it slip.

"No, she will see no one. Gomen-nasai." Tsunade's green robes and her daughter's blue ballet suit was blurred by Karin's overly dramatic tears. Her husband, ( Who had mysteriously appeared at her side) and herself asked in unison: "Will she sing? Will she sing?" They asked. Tsunade sighed and slipped an ivory letter from her white obi.

"I have a note." She said. Karin rolled her eyes. Kakashi walked down the stairs to the Slug Princess and grabbed the note from her hand. He began slowly.

"Gentlemen, I have now sent you notes of the most amiable of nature to instruct how my theater is to be run. You have not obeyed my commands and I will give you one last chance."

Itachi smiled slightly as he read over what he has wrote.

"Sakura-hime has returned to you. I'm however anxious how her career will progress. In the new production of Uwaki, you should place Karin as the pageboy, and put Sakura-chan in the roll of Countess. The roll that Sakura-hime plays calls for witty charm and appeal." He laughed as he switched two heads of wax figures.

"And the roll of the pageboy is silent, which makes my casting...in a word (Ms. Warugaki might be able to comprehend)...ideal." He laughed darkly as he place the red-haired figure above the small metal disc above a flame. He chuckled as it melted, head first. He closed the letter in and ivory envelope. Using the dark red wax, he stamped the envelope with a seal. The red pinwheel eye glimmered as it cooled.

"I will watch the performance from my normal seat in box five, which will be kept empty for me. Oh, and again. My salary plus interest is due. 15 per week gentlemen. These masks don't pay for themselves."

I finally finished the chapter! Wee!!
