Radio/Basement Ghost Singing
Jumping up from the bed I looked around for my pants and slipped them on, slipping my shirt over it. Looking around the room again I saw that Sai was nowhere to be seen and was thankful for that in more ways than one. Making my way down the stairs I made sure that I didn't run into him and got to the door happily.
"Naruto?"
Cringing I stopped not bothering to turn around and look at the man whom called me. I turned slightly and saw Sai leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest clad only in boxers.
"What do you want?" I questioned him trying not to look him in the eyes. He sauntered over to me and tried to put his hand on my shoulder as I flinched away from him.
"Come on Naruto…listen to m-,"
"I have nothing to say to you…I…I gotta go," I stuttered trying to get away from him as he tried to grab for me again. I ran out of his house and down the street trying to get my bearings. I honestly couldn't remember if Sai and I did anything and it was bothering me. I wasn't drunk and he didn't drug me…from what I knew.
Coming to a halt breathing raggedly I tried to remember where the club was and where my car was so that I could go home. I just wanted to drop into my own bed and forget about the entire situation. There was a stale taste in my mouth remembering that I had kissed Sai and it didn't exactly feel right because it wasn't Sasuke. I groaned and hit myself on the head a couple of times. How could I be this stupid?
"NARUTO!" I glanced behind me and saw a few people running towards me. Some with cameras. I panicked and ran in the opposite direction as they high tailed it and ran to catch up to me. I ran into the few people ands said my sorry's as I continued to run. I ran into an alley and jumped into a dumpster as the people ran past.
Lifting the lid a bit I saw that all the people were gone. Hopping out of the dumpster I brushed myself off and continued to walk towards my car. I found where I parked my car last night and found my keys. Getting into my car I sat there for a few moments just thinking.
Putting the key in the ignition I drove. Driving home I knew I was in for a world of trouble with Sakura. She was going to question me about what had happened and why I had left so suddenly. Parking the car when I finally got home I kept my hands resting on the steering wheel. Banging my head a few times on it groaning once again.
"When did your life become so fucked up?" I questioned myself. I got out of the car, pocketing my keys. Walking towards my door I knocked a few times and waited, leaning on the doorframe. Knocking again I waited and then saw Sakura open the door to look into my eyes. She glared at me slightly as I closed my eyes, dropping my head low.
"I don't want to talk about it…please," I told her in a low voice. She didn't say anything and allowed me into the house and towards my room to simply lay down. I didn't bother taking my shoes off as I curled into myself on the bed. Sakura came into my room and let me rest my head in her lap. Starting to cry she tried to soothe me by petting my head softly.
They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was, yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade
Sasuke watched the T.V. as they continued to speak about Naruto. He sighed shutting it off knowing he would never get over the hyperactive blonde.
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough, is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough?
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
"I don't know what I'm doing anymore," I told Sakura still crying.
"What do you mean?"
"I MISS HIM!"
I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you
"Then why are you here? If you love him…if you miss him…then why…are…you…here?" Sakura questioned me. I shrugged and tried to think of what I could do without Sasuke. How I would have to survive.
How long to do you want to loved?
Is forever enough, is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough?
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
"Brother…what are you doing?" Itachi questioned Sasuke. Sasuke didn't answer. Sasuke cringed when Itachi gripped his shoulder tightly.
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself…we've been through this enough times now,"
As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade
"I just want this CD done already…I'm so through…I need him to understand," Sasuke said.
"Sasuke…we finished it today…the CD's will be in stores tomorrow. The video has been done…we just need time.
How long do you want be loved? (Do you want to be loved?)
Is forever enough, is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved? (Do you want to be loved?)
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you…
How long do you want to be loved (Do you want to be loved?)
Is forever enough, is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved? (Do you want to be loved?)
Is forever enough?
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough?
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
I sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. to MTV and saw a commercial pop up. I curled into legs up to my chest and watched for the upcoming show that was going to play soon. The show came back and it was none other than music video's that were playing. I watched one of The Sound Five's songs and laughed at the comical video.
I continued to watch and then a video I didn't recognize popped up. Raising an eyebrow I tried to see who it was that this video belonged to and sucked in my breath when I saw who in fact it was.
"SAKURA!" I shouted loudly. She ran into the living room breathing heavily, obviously I had scared her.
"What? What's going on?"
"Come watch this," I told her. She looked at the T.V. and then gasped also. This was too good to be true. The video opened with Sasuke standing in a dark basement as the rest of Konoha Legend was situated around the basement with their instruments. The chords began to play as Sasuke looked into the camera and began to sing.
Now I'm in your basement
I'm laying low to keep out of your way
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards my head
I looked over at Sakura and she had her eyebrows raised as we continued to listen and saw Sasuke look up where there were floorboards and the image of light moving as if somebody was walking.
I have my own routine now
I'm keeping busy in my own way
I'm learning ways to not fee
Like I'm down here forever
I sucked in a breath and saw one of the clips from a making the video that we did and Sasuke had his arm around my neck playfully.
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you
It was back to the band in the basement and Sasuke had grabbed at his hair pulling slightly and was singing straight into the camera as the rest of the band was playing with sorrowful expressions on their face.
I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
It was now a clip of Sasuke kissing me as the rest of the band members are shouting catcalls. I blushed remembering that and continued to watch the video.
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
I won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through
"Well then," Sakura commented as Sasuke walked around and the camera followed him and he leaned against a wall.
I'm gonna close my mouth now
You don't need more noise in your life
I miss you more than you know
But I know time makes you move on
Sasuke's face contorted into one of sadness as he sang the next part and looked up again.
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know
That I'm down here
Just for you
I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
I won't get through to you
I won't get through
I know I won't get through
At this point I saw clips of just Sasuke and I and saw how they were all of how close we were. I couldn't believe he was doing this.
Your lights are off…
And I'm lost again
Your lights are off…
And I'm lost again
Your lights are off (lights are off)
And I'm lost again
Your lights are off (lights are off)
And I'm lost again
Your lights are off (lights are off)
And I'm lost again
Your lights are off (lights are off)
And I'm lost again
Lights are off
The video came back to the band as all of the room started to become shrouded in darkness and Sasuke looked at the camera and his eyes were the last thing to be seen.
Sakura looked over at me as I growled to myself and she put her hand on my shoulder. I didn't move and tried my best not to get angry at her; after all she wasn't the one who just pissed me the hell off.
"Naruto…" she started. I cut her off by moving my shoulder and glared at the television.
"He has another thing coming if the thinks that that shit is going to work for even a second," I growled out.
"Well I think he'll get that when he sees the video that you made for him," Sakura told me laughing.
"Yeah, well he'll be in for a great surprise. I wish I would be able to see his face when he sees that video," I told her. The video's continued to play as Sakura just sat there with me and started to play with my ever growing hair at my neck.
"How are you doing anyway…I haven't asked you," Sakura told me. I didn't say anything for a moment and then looked over at her as her hand dropped onto the back of the couch.
"Would I be really stupid if I said that I'm still not sure…I mean, it's been forever but yet I can't get him out of my head and sometimes I feel like I'm over it and then other days I feel like I'm dying," I told her. She didn't say anything and leaned in kissing me on the cheek. I smiled and leaned my forehead against hers and then leaned back on the couch.
"I just want this to be over,"

"SASUKE!" Itachi shouted into the house. Sasuke shoed up with a towel in hand drying his hair and raised an eyebrow as to why Itachi was shouting his name throughout the house.
"Watch. Our video is on," Itachi told him. Sasuke sat down still drying his hair and finally put his towel around his neck and smiled at the outcome of the video especially the moments where they showed the clips of him and Naruto.
"Wow…it came out really good," Sasuke said. Itachi nodded and then scrunched his face up slightly.
"Do you think that those clips of you and Naruto aren't a bit much? I'm thinking the kid would get a bit upset about it,"
"Why would he get upset? It's on T.V. already I just used it to put it into my video," Sasuke answered. Itachi shrugged and continued to watch.
"I don't know…if he's still mad about the entire thing you never know…it could backfire…but I must say that the video is quite beautiful. You're ideas were amazing," Itachi told him. Sasuke smiled fro the praise he was receiving and then frowned as he saw the next video come on and a mop of golden hair that he recognized.
"What?" Sasuke said out loud trying to figure out what he was looking at. Itachi looked at the television and smirked knowing this was going to be good. Naruto was on a bed looking a bit sad as somebody played chords on the side of the room and he finally looked up when the drums played and his sad expression was suddenly gone.
Shaking like a dog shitting razor blades
Waking up next to nothing
After dreaming
Of you and me
I'm waking up all alone
Waking up so relieved
While you're
Taking
Your time with apologies
I'm making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong
I just slid off the edge
I just slid off the edge
Naruto got up in the video from the bed and walked around and grabbed a radio off from an outlet that was plugged into the wall and then ended up grabbing a glass of red wine and continued walking as he walked into around the house.
Taking your own life with boredom, I'm
Taking my own life with wine
It helps you to rule out the sorrow
It helps me to empty my mind
Naruto walked into the bathroom then and emptied the wine into a full tub of water making it look like blood in the water and now plugged the radio into the wall.
Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black
And orange and red
This kettle is seeing red
I've got a BIG FAT FUCKING bone to pick
With you "my darling"
In case you haven't heard I'm sick
And tired of trying
I wish you
To take my radio to bathe with you
Plugged in and ready to fall
Naruto held the radio over the full tub of water and let it drop as it fell in slow motion into the water and electric sparks started flying as Naruto laughed smiling at the camera and then shrugging. Sasuke's mouth stayed agape as he watched and Itachi snickered.
Shaking like a dog shitting razor blades
Waking up next to nothing
After DREAMING of you and me
Waking up all alone
Waking up so relieved
While you're taking
Your time with apologies
I'm planning out my revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong
I jumped straight off the edge
I'm seeing red
Naruto's face contorted into one of anger as he started taking things inside the bathroom and started throwing them around and pointing at the camera when needed.
I've got a BIG FAT FUCKING bone to pick
With you "my darling"
In case you haven't heard, I'm sick
And tired of trying
I wish you
Would take my radio to bathe with you
Plugged in and ready to fall!
Naruto walked back into the main room and smiled at everybody who looked up at him and smirked as they played their instruments.
Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall
Naruto sat down on the bed and laid back as the camera looked at his face and the smile he had set on, his canines showing as he winked at the camera.
Plugged in and ready to fall
Sasuke's eyes were wide and his mouth was open in a gasp as he couldn't believe what Naruto was implying with the video. Sasuke couldn't even say anything to that with how shocked he was with it. Suddenly the phone started ringing and Itachi had to answer it for Sasuke was in pure shock and unable to move.
"Itachi…Yeah, we just saw it…I can't believe it either…Sasuke is uhm, shocked I guess you could say. Do you wanna talk to him? Okay hold on," Itachi told the person in the phone. Itachi handed the phone to Sasuke who took it as his face was still in one of sadness.
"Hello?" Sasuke answered into the phone.
"Yo man! Did you just see that video on MTV? That was so crazy! Naruto is going insane! How are you man? You okay?" Deidara said over the phone.
"Uhm…I don't really know how I am… I guess I'm fine…kind of confused and uh…I have no idea…Dei…"
"Uhn…I don't think you should get hung up on it, wait…Sasori told me to tell you that he'll come around. He feels that Naruto still has feelings for you despite that gorgeous video we just saw,"
"Yeah I guess…wait Sasori is over?"
"Uhm…well uh…ya see…"
"Oh god, I don't need details. Trust me," Sasuke smirked into the phone.
"Oh shove it Sasuke!" Deidara laughed into the phone. They chatted a bit longer and then Sasuke hung up the phone. He ran his fingers through his hair and tugged a bit, angry at himself.
"Jesus…he hates me!" Sasuke groaned in a very un-Uchiha like way. But yet everything concerning Naruto made him act un-Uchiha like.
"Brother…you can't keep moping about this kid…you're gonna end up having grey hair," Itachi said calmly. Sasuke scoffed and rose from his seat throwing his towel at his brother.
"I don't care if my entire head is platinum BLONDE! I just want him back! And he fucking HATES me! What do you want me to do about that? Just sit around and be happy and jolly about it? Well I can't! I'm sorry brother!"
"Okay…well first things first…calm the fuck down, because I'm really not feeling your attitude, not appropriate at all," Itachi told him calmly. Sasuke tried his best to calm down but ended up leaving the house in a hurry and in anger.
Sasuke took the Ferrari out and started to drive around and ended up hearing another one of Naruto's songs on the radio and groaned. This one was even worst than the first. The message behind this one was pretty much that Naruto hoped every time Sasuke would look at Naruto his face would "give him hell" and the entire thought of Naruto would "give him hell". Sure enough the song was appropriately titled Give You Hell.
"Well, well. Seems we have ourselves a feud going on in Hollywood between two of Hollywood's hottest gay bachelors. After Naruto and his band have been produced by Leaf Records which has also produced many of the power hitters including Sound Five, Jinchuuriki and also Naruto's ex's band Konoha Legend. How can the same label be holding one of the largest feuds ever? Have these two star-crossed lovers even came across each other since the last time they have been together?" the woman on the radio said. Sasuke almost ran into a pole a he heard the last part.
Naruto's band was being produced by LEAF? The same exact label that was holding his OWN band…and he hadn't even KNOWN?! How is it that all these other people were able to hear about this and able to find this out but this was going on right under his nose and he had no idea of it? Sasuke made a B-line for the building and parked his car sloppily as he walked in and everybody looked at him and saw how he was seething and automatically averted their eyes.
"Whose handling him?!" Sasuke shouted angrily. Nobody answered him and he seethed with anger, the fumes making its way out through his ears and glared at everybody in sight.
"WHO IS MANAGING NARUTO?! WHO IS PRODUCING HIS FUCKING MUSIC?!" Sasuke shouted angrily and louder. People cringed obviously knowing that this was going to come soon from Sasuke. Everybody's eyes darted nervously towards Asuma's office and Sasuke wasn't stupid enough to miss it and stalked towards the office while everybody craned their necks to see what was going to happen.
Sasuke slammed the door open to Asuma's office where he was currently recording a person and hit a button effectively ending the session as Asuma glared up at Sasuke and Sasuke glared back at him. The person inside of the booth stopped singing feeling that something went wrong and widened their eyes to see that the infamous Uchiha Sasuke was standing in nearly the same room as him.
"When were you planning on telling me?" Sasuke questioned his anger dripping from him in waves. Asuma took his cigarette from behind his ear and lit it inhaling the nicotine slowly and breathed it out just as slow not looking at Sasuke through the process.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Sasuke," Asuma answered him. Sasuke growled angrily and slammed a hand on the desk loudly and roughly causing the singer inside the booth to jump but leave Asuma unchanged in his position.
"DAMMIT ASUMA YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
"You're going to have to clarify. There are many things you could be talking about,"
"When were you going to tell me that you were producing Naruto?" Sasuke answered slowly. Asuma's face brightened as if he finally figured out what Sasuke was talking about.
"Oh that. You never asked," Asuma answered him taking another drag from his cigarette. Sasuke gripped the desk trying his best to keep his cool.
"How was I supposed to ask…when I didn't even know?!"
"Well I mean, did you really NEED to know? Everybody has a right to be produced if they have the sufficient funds for it. I mean you didn't want to know who I have inside the booth now so what should it matter if I produce Naruto or not?"
"That's DIFFERENT! I don't give two shits about whose inside that booth right now! You KNOW the history that Naruto and I have! It never dawned on you to tell me that you were taking him on?"
"I don't see why it would be of any importance of you. Because then you would be too highly concerned about when he was going to be here and wouldn't be able to concentrate on recording your own songs. And we can't have that now can we?" Asuma questioned in a matter of fact way. Sasuke growled and punched the wall angrily almost creating a hole in the wall.
"FUCK YOU!" Sasuke shouted angrily to him and stalked out the room as Asuma waved to him unfazed by what Sasuke had just said knowing that he was merely upset and wasn't in the right state of mind.
Sasuke got back into his car and sat not even bothering to turn the car on. He sat there gripping the wheel and cursed. He hit the wheel several times and screamed repeatedly, upset that he couldn't do anything to change the fact that he was now on the outside. The only thing he wanted to do more than anything is get a hit…but that would only land him back to square one. And square one is not where he wanted to be. Not when he had come this far.

Yaya, This is the ending of the chapter and there ya go. I hope you liked it. This story is slowly drawing to an end. There is probably only going to be about 2 or 3 chapters more of it and then the ending. *sigh* Well you know the deal…the blue button is requesting love. =]
