Hey! SUPER sorry for the long wait! I was trying top figure out what direction I wanted this story to go and I was listening to the radio and a song came up and I immediately knew what was going to happen! You will hear the song in the very last chapter haha!

Song of the day- Blue Burns Orange by Hawthorne Heights

I don't own Narutooo…but Kiba is all minee! : D

Sakura stood with a plastic cup in her hand in the corner of the packed room. Ino surrree has a lot of friends. She watched as the bodies of what she suspected to be Konoha High students grinding and dancing to the techno music.

Flashback

All the girls sat in Ino's room as they planned Sakura's welcoming party. They had called their boyfriends and told them to call and invite everyone to Ino's house later that night.

"Okay! We are going to need food, Ten-chan, that's your job. Take all the money in my wallet and go to the store." Ino railed off jobs like a drill sergeant.

"I I sir!" Tenten saluted her, while smirking.

"Hina-chan, Shika-kun is coming over soon to move the furniture. You are to help assist him." Ino plucked a pencil that was stashed behind her ear and scribbled something down on a note sheet.

"Gotcha captain!" Hinata giggled. Apparently the two were used to Ino's demands.

"Saku-chan and I will work on music choices! Is that affirmative?" She asked placing her hand facedown, waiting for the others to join in. With a makeshift huddle and break the girls separated to do their assigned jobs.

"Okie dokie, what music do you want to play?" Ino asked, walking over to her computer to open up her albums. The girls spend about an hour and a half disagreeing on the others musical preferences. Ino was always one for pop while Sakura was attached to her country music. They could hear the sounds of screeching furniture against the floor, and guessed that Shikamaru had decided to show up.

"Can we go downstairs for a break Ino-pig? I have always wanted to meet Shika! I need to make sure that he is a suitable boyfriend for one of my besties." Sakura smirked as she saw Ino smile over at her.

"Don't worry, he is." She chuckled. "But if you really want to meet him, I see no harm in a quick break. Quick being the key term." Sakura rolled her eyes. If she knew anything about Ino other than her obsession for shopping, it would be that she has a secret competition with herself every year.

She has to outdo her last year's party.

Sakura smiled and jumped up from her seat and bounced over to the door. "Don't worry, it'll only be an hour or two." She stuck her tongue out at her friend before sauntering out, missing Ino's fake glare.

The two girls walked down the staircase and found Hinata and a boy with abnormal pineapple haircut. With his back to the two girls he did not notice their entrance. Sakura, taking this to her advantage, jumped on the boys back and covered his eyes with her hands.

"Lets see if you can tell who I am based off my voice!" Sakura giggled as she felt the boy under her tense up when he felt extra weight added to his back.

"Well this is a hard game…Sakura?" He asked lazily.

"Well that was no fun." She said, and even though his eyes were still covered he could hear the pout in her voice and smirked. She jumped down from his back before jumping into his arms. "Nice to meet you though!" She exclaimed happily.

Shikamaru chuckled quietly as he slightly embraced her around the shoulders. "Likewise." Letting her go quickly (in Sakura's opinion, because of Ino's jealousy) and walked over to his girlfriend to kiss her forehead. "Hey sweetie. How are you today?" He asked in an overly sugar coated voice.

Ino's gaze flew over him before looking into his eyes skeptically. "What do you want?"

Shikamaru mocked a hurt expression while saying, "Now what makes you think I want anything? I am just asking the most beautiful girl in the world how her day was…ah screw it, can the band play tonight?"

Ino's eyes widened. "No, you told him about the party? You must have. I'll kill you." She said menacingly. Sakura starred confused at the whole exchange.

"It's a Sasuke issue again." A voice whispered in her ear. Sakura turned to look at Hinata who sighed at the bickering pair. "Shika and his friends all play in a band, and the lead singer is Sasuke. Obviously Shikamaru told him about the party and now we have to listen to the two yell at each other for the next half an hour." She shook her head at the two before silently asking Sakura to help her with the remaining furniture, who more than obliged.

End Flashback

Sakura thought back on the events leading up till then. I wonder if Ino just doesn't like him because he once called her fat or something. It would be like Ino to hold a grudge for that, but he couldn't be all that bad, could he?

She rid herself of her thoughts as Tenten came up to her. "Hey, enjoying the party so far?" She practically had to scream over the blaring base.

"Yea, but I don't even know who half these people are." Sakura chuckled and she could practically see the wheels in Tenten's head turning.

"Follow me!" She exclaimed, grabbing Sakura's wrist and tugged her over to a group of kids sitting on one of the couches pushed against the wall. "Hey guys, this is Sakura, the girl of the evening. I am hoping you can watch her while I go take care of something?" She asked.

The group, consisting only of guys, could only nod at the idea of hanging out with the new pretty girl. Tenten smiled appreciatively at them and gave me a quick wink before scampering off.

"Well hello there." The one guy sitting on the center of the couch shoved his friend sitting next to him onto the floor, and patted the seat, offering it to her. Thanking him and apologizing to the young boy who took a face dive towards the floor she sat down on one of Ino's plush couches. "So you moved from Sauna huh?"

"I hear Sauna girls a freaky." One of the boys sat down on the arm of the chair next to her and smirked, as he saw her face flush bright red.

"Well," Sakura started after clearing her throat. "Some I suppose are." She continued to fight down her blush. The group chuckled at her as she looked down at her lap. Ino was the only one who knew she was slightly uncomfortable around guys that she didn't know, so Tenten had no clue when she dragged her new friend over to these boys. Sakura didn't blame her one bit, but she was starting to tense when she felt a hand placed on her knee.

"He better not go any further up than that or he will be getting a face full of my fist!" Inner Sakura said pumping her fist in the air. Sakura mentally sighed. She thought she would get rid of that damn inner once she moved to Konoha, but of course, no such luck.

She was praying for something, anything to get her out of this situation, and it seemed Kami was on her side today. Her favorite non-country song came on the speakers but with a different voice singing.

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
save you from your old ways

"Um, excuse me, I have to go find someone." Sakura said quickly ripping away the boys hand as she stood quickly and left the bubble of people in search of Ino. She didn't have to look long.

You play forgiveness
Watch it now ... here he comes!

She was standing with a scowl on her face among a crowd of kids who bopped their heads to the sound of the music. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked questioning her friends face.

"That, that's what's wrong." Gesturing her head towards the stairs where, along the steps stood a group of four boys.

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young

The lead singer did not look like anything that Ino described as one of her friends but Sakura's breathing hitched at the top of her throat. He strummed his guitar to the beat of the song, his black bangs slightly obscuring his closed eyes. Once he was meant to sing again, his eyes opened slowly revealing dark charcoal eyes that held concentration.

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before

His voice empowering the beat of the drum held a seductive melody mixed with a husky deepness that made her heart start to beat again, faster than it should be.

I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

His voice if possible got to an even lower octave but maintained its mysterious background. He smirked at the crowd and closed his eyes once again and started to rock to the beat.

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning

When you were young
When you were young

His crooked bangs moved slightly, revealing his eyes once again full of power and seduction. His black muscle shirt moved as he played the next few lines.

And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young

As he sung, he also closed his eyes to the lyrics and tilted his head back exposing a muscled neck, his fingers moving rapidly across the fret board of the guitar. It was obvious he was lost in music, but the crowd obviously wasn't complaining.

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now

The song slowed down, and he once again opened his eyes and scanned the crowd with the inky orbs.

But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

It seamed as though once he picked up on the guitar again and the beat and bass started to fade in, his eyes locked on mine, and I couldn't break the contact even if I wanted to.

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes

He smirked my way throughout the whole stanza and I could feel my heart rate increasing yet again. Right after I got it down too damnit!

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman

He turned his face back in the direction of the rest of the crowd but I swore I saw him glancing at me time to time.

Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young

I could still hear my heart beat raging in my ear, practically in sync with the beat of the drums. He looked almost lost in the song again as he finished up his last few lines.

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

During the last line I felt his eyes bore into mine as he smirked and winked in my direction. I could already feel the heat pool into my cheeks and I could barely register the sound of the crowd's cheers or Ino grounding her teeth together and glaring at the guitarist. "Uchiha Sasuke." I heard her growl out, with venom laced within the name. The name of the lead singer

Again, really sorry for the long wait, and sorry about the length of the chapter! I keep on wanting to make the chapters much longer, but I feel like that was a good way to end off the chapter. I will try and update a.s.a.p.! Thank you to my loyal readers who have waited for a super long time for this chapter, I give you my apologies! Peace and Love! ; P
