"Wow. She looks stunning. Could she be one of us?" A brunette with purple tattoos on his face asked. "I don't know. She could be." Temari shrugged. "We'll know what she is when she sings." Gaara said. The blonde's lip curled when she saw a dark haired man walk in with Karin on his arm followed by a blond and a midnight haired woman dressed in white.
Sakura's name was called and the pinkette walked out onto the stage. "Hi. This is my first time here. I picked the song called 'Trust and Believe.' I dedicated it to my cheating boyfriend and my best friend. They're both exes now." She said shyly. The song began and Sakura took a deep breath.
When we were together, I held you down
I gave you all of me, but look at us now
Thinking of all your excuses, but they don't add up
Now it's so easy to see you don't deserve my love
You pushed me far...you brought me to this
You had my heart...but then you blew it
And I'm so over you, go get lost
Boy who do you think that you are
Trust and believe me, you're gonna need me
Trust and believe me, she'll never be me
And I'm so over you
Go get lost
Boy I don't know
Who do you think that you are?
You look so foolish
With my best friend
And she ain't no better than you
She's a 3, I'm a ten
So why are you calling my phone
You ain't got nothing I want
Thought we were really in love
But that was all a front
You pushed me far...you brought me to it
You had my heart...but then you blew it
And I'm so over you, go get lost
Boy who do you think that you are
Trust and believe me, you're gonna need me
Trust and believe me, she'll never be me
And I'm so over you
Go get lost
Boy I don't know
Who do you think that you are?
How dare you try to clean it up?
Boy please just stop it now
Don't make a sound
Cause you
You pushed me far...you brought me to this
You had my heart...but then you blew it
And I'm so over you, go get lost
Boy who do you think that you are
Believe me, you're gonna need me
Trust and believe me, she'll never be me
And I'm so over you
Go get lost
Boy I don't know
Who do you think you are?
I'm so over you
Go get lost
Who do you think that you are?
The crowd went wild and Temari grinned. "She's a Siren." She announced proudly. "Yes. She is. And she probably has no clue." Gaara said. The brunette whistled. "She's a powerful one. The crowd has no idea who the unlucky guy is and they hate his guts." He said. "Kankuro make sure the Elders don't get wind of her. Temari we need to tell her what she is. Sakura might accidentally cause some serious damage with her power." Gaara said. "Right." Kankuro and Temari chorused.
"So we're probably going to have to call in someone to train her. None of us have any Siren training experience. I'd say Kurenai or Shizune would be best. Probably both of them in tandem if she's as powerful as Kankuro thinks she is." Temari said. Gaara nodded. "That would probably be best. By the way, the property between ours and the Shikamaru's has been sold. We should be neighborly and go greet the new edition." He agreed. Temari nodded as well. "That would be the right thing to do." She said. "Alright then it's agreed. We'll go see the new neighbor in the morning before we come open." Gaara said. "Agreed." Temari replied.
"We hate to disappoint you folks but we're closing early tonight! Please make your way to the exits and we'll see you tomorrow night. Give another round of applause to the karaoke singers tonight and remember to tip your wait staff or they might just take offense." Temari called cheerfully. There was some good-natured groaning but everyone obeyed cheerfully enough. Temari smiled as she locked up and the trio headed home. "So have you got arrangements made for our fair Siren?" Kankuro asked. "Yes. We just have to make a few calls and inform said Siren that she's what she is." Temari replied. "We're going to visit the neighbors tomorrow. If you come along, don't try to scare them away again." Gaara said. "Fine." Kankuro pouted.
Sakura smiled as she curled up in her favorite chair with a book. "It's good to be on vacation Shinobi." She said. Shinobi purred and Sakura started to read from where she left off. Shinobi silently read with her or so it seemed and Sakura smiled. He had always been a smart cat. When she was living with Sasuke, he stayed far from the Uchiha when it wasn't meal time.
Sakura marked her page and put her book away when she nodded off for the fifth time. "Bedtime Shinobi." She laughed sleepily. Shinobi purred again and padded behind the pinkette as she turned out lights and turned on the alarm and locked the doors. "I wonder what tomorrow will bring? I have a feeling tomorrow my life will change. I don't know if it'll be a good change or a bad change but I'll accept it with as much grace and dignity as I can. Goodnight Shinobi." Sakura said as she snuggled down into her bedding. Shinobi licked her cheek once as he curled up on the side Sasuke would have occupied if they were still together.
Here's Chapter Four. It's the longest so far I think. I hope everyone enjoys it! Remember to R&R and take to heart the warnings from the first and second chapters. Ja ne! ^_^
