Chapter Three: Singing Express Emotion
Disclaimer: I don't not own Naruto, I only own Alli and I don't own any songs on here either.
Alli was now in the drama room, and was waiting for her band mates to help with the music. Alli was busy twirling around her microphone in her hand when she heard the door open and footsteps of six feet. She looked up to see Sasuke with his arms folded, Naruto smiling happily and Sakura with a dirty look in her eye.
"Oh I see that the cheerleaders, or as I call it the populars, the have gotten to you Sakura," Alli said as she was still looking at the microphone.
"Just come on, and hurry up, I don't have all day," Sakura commented back.
"Yepp, they have certainly gotten to Sakura," Alli muttered as she walked up to the stage, and she saw that the guitarist and the drummer already set up and the bass player.
Alli looks at the drummer and nods her head as a signal to start, and once the drummer starts the guitarist and bass player follows after already knowing the beat of the drum.
After a few seconds Alli grabs the microphone and held it close to her face and started to sing.
I woke up it 7, waited til 11 just to figure that no one would call,
I think I got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them,
What's another night all alone?
When you're spending everyday on your own!
And here it goes.
I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair,
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me.
(Instrumental)
And maybe when the night is dead, I'll crawl into my bed and stare at the four walls again.
I'll try to think about the last time, I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own
And here is goes,
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me
What the fuck is wrong with me?
Don't fit in with anybody,
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake, I'm bored and I can't fall asleep and every night is the worst night ever…
I'm just a kid (X5)
I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair,
Nobody cares, cause the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that its not fair,
Nobody cares, cause the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me tonight
I'm all alone tonight
Nobody cares tonight
Cause I'm just a kid tonight
Then Alli stopped singing and looked at her band mates. "Thanks for playing remember that was great and the concert is in two weeks."
Alli then walked down the stage and walked towards Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto.
"So, how did you guys like?" Alli asked.
"It was great Alli-chan!" Naruto said with a bright smile.
"I could've done better," Sakura said with a boring tone. Alli just smiled at her, turning the insult into a compliment inside her head. Then Alli looked at Sasuke waiting for an answer.
"It was okay, I guess," Sasuke replied, but in reality Sasuke thought it was really good, like he was soothed by her voice. He was just trying to save a fight that Sakura would make.
"Ha, Sasuke-kun didn't like your singing, that means you suck!" Sakura gloated.
"Not to burst your bubble but I like my singing and I was just getting feedback," Alli replied in an obvious tone.
"Yea, come on, lets go home, I'll serve detention tomorrow," Alli spoke to her friends and Sakura.
After that they all left to see Kakashi at Alli's house waiting for them.
"Where have you guys been?" Kakashi asked.
"Oh, they were listening to me sing," Alli answered truthfully.
"That is nice," Kakashi complimented, "Oh, and Alli about my job?"
"Oh yeah! You only work on Saturday nights," Alli once again answered.
"Great, so basically I wait for you guys to come back to have any fun?"
"Well, there is a bookstore around; I noticed that you read so…"
"Thanks, I will do that tomorrow," Kakashi muttered to himself.
2 Weeks Pass By…
Alli was pacing back and forth with nervous nerves, she had five more minutes until she was on. Alli heard footsteps come on stage, and she turned around to see Sasuke and Naruto.
"What are you guys doing on here?" Alli asked.
"We are here to wish you good luck," Naruto told her. "I didn't have to drag Sasuke this time, he agreed to follow me!"
"Really?" Alli asked surprised.
"Is it that surprising?" Sasuke asked this time.
"Well you seem like the guy who wouldn't want to even come here," Alli responded, "And besides at least now, I know you aren't and that you can change."
"The only reason I even came was for you," Sasuke said in his mind.
"Yea, we you are my friend, I might as well come to support you, and besides I couldn't let Naruto ruin anything," Sasuke somewhat admitted.
Alli then walked up to Naruto and gave him a hug and whispered a 'thank you' into his ear. Sasuke wasn't expecting a hug, she he has been rude to her, but he was surprised when he felt a nice warm body holding on to his. Alli ended up hugging on to him tightly, and whispered "Thanks no one has supported me before, and besides I know the real reason you came anyways, you like me don't you?" After that, Alli let go and saw Sasuke turn his head as he blush. She giggled and had a soft smile on her face.
"Well, you guys better go into the audience if you want to watch the show," Alli suggested.
Then Naruto and Sasuke left to go and sit next to Sakura who saved two sits, so they could sit next to each other.
Alli then peeked at the audience and spotted Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke sitting next to each other. Sakura was obviously asking the boys where they were, since they probably didn't tell her where they went.
Alli then went to the middle of the stage and then started to talk.
"Welcome to the Concert. I know you guys are excited to listen to some music tonight, and I will, and also I will ask two people to come to the stage to sing after mine songs are done. So get ready!"
Alli then walked to the middle of the stage and then looked at the all the instrument players and nodded her head. The instrument players knew the order of what Alli's list of songs were going on tonight and they started to play.
You say that I'm messing with your head
All 'cause I was making out with your friend
Love hurts whether it's right or wrong
I can't stop 'cause I'm having too much fun
You're on your knees
Begging, "Please
Stay with me"
But honestly
I just need to be
A little crazy
All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "what the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about...
If you love me
If you hate me
You can save me
Baby, baby
All my life I've been good
But now...
What the hell?
What?
What?
What?
What the hell?
So what if I go out on a million dates
You never call or listen to me anyway
I'd rather rage than sit around and wait all day
Don't get me wrong, I just need some time to play
You're on your knees
Begging, "Please
Stay with me"
But honestly
I just need to be
A little crazy
All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about...
If you love me
If you hate me
You can save me
Baby, baby
All my life I've been good
But now...
What the hell?
La, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa, whoa
La, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa, whoa
You say that I'm messing with your head
Boy, I like messing in your bed
Yeah, I am messing with your head when
I'm messing with you in bed
All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about...
(If you love me)
If you love me
If you hate me
You can save me
Baby, baby
(If you love me)
All my life I've been good
But now...
What the hell?
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
"Thanks for listening to the song, I thought it of I thought of freedom," Alli admitted.
"The next song, is basically dedicated to all the jocks, cheerleaders that bullied me through out life, and I thought of this song basically for you," Alli said cheerfully.
There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me
It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not
You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down
Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Alli ended that song with a bang basically. "Thanks for listening and take that jocks, cheerleaders!"
"Now, the next two songs are basically about me," Alli spoke through the microphone. "They are sad songs I personally think."
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
"Now, is my last song," Alli said.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I Will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of yo)
"Great, now the two lucky people that are going to come sing, are Naruto Namikaze, and Sasuke Uchiha, come on up, and you better have songs to sing," Alli said into the microphone.
Naruto walked up happily onto the stage, and Sasuke walked slowly up to the stage, like he really didn't want to be there.
Alli then walked over to the boys, and smiled. "Hey, Naruto your on first, let the audience applaud louder than they have before!"
Naruto went to sing a song, and Sasuke went to talk to Alli. "Alli, why did you pick me and Naruto?"
"Simple. You guys are my friends, and I consider you guys basically my closest friends, and besides didn't you guys say that you needed to experience our world, well I'm giving you the chance now," Alli answered back.
"Well, thanks for being so thoughtful, you know, if I sing, then there are going to be tons of fangirls surrounding your house, and me at school, then you can't hang out with me anymore," Sasuke commented back.
"Well, don't worry I can always talk with Kakashi, I mean if I can handle being alone, for certain months then I can handle two years," Alli replied, "Remember if the fangirls do surround you and all, I won't be talking to you, and if Naruto has the same problem, that will happen to him, unless some stupid fangirl tries to rape you, then I'll step in, and unless you somehow chase them all the way, I'll talk to you, and if I somehow, get really bored out of my mind, then I'll consider talking to you."
This made Sasuke gulp. He really didn't want to lose Alli, it was basically the first female friend who didn't fall over him, then again this is for the mission, so he decided to go out and sing.
"Good luck!" Alli said to Sasuke
Sasuke went out to sing Almost Easy by Avenged Sevenfold. Of course, tons of girls were screaming and Alli had to cover her ears because of the high pitch screaming that was being head.
Once Sasuke was done singing, Alli took the microphone and thanked everyone for coming out. After that she went to go see Naruto and Sasuke to congratulate them for their awesome singing. She went to Naruto and gave him a hug, and when she went to go see Sasuke, he was covered by fangirls and was obviously scared for life because of how much fangirls around him, and that made Alli kind of angry. So, since Alli's imagination is so bright, she decided to hug Sasuke out of surprise just to annoy the fangirls.
Alli walked up to Sasuke and gave him a nice hug, and all the fangirls were shocked and started to yelled and gossip about Alli.
Alli didn't pay any attention at all, and just whispered into Sasuke's ear, "Hey, you did an awesome job, and I could become your fangirl bodyguard if you want."
Alli then walked away but feeling the stares of jealous fangirls along the way.
"Fangirl bodyguard huh?" Sasuke spoke to the point where he could only hear.
"How was the concert?" Kakashi asked once he saw Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Alli walk through the front door.
"I did awesome," Alli replied. "And, I got Naruto and Sasuke to sing, that means that Sasuke is going to have more fangirls and Naruto got some more popularity. I don't know about Sakura though."
"Hn," Sasuke replied, since he wasn't in the mood.
"I thought the concert was okay, but it could have been better," Sakura replied.
"Okay Sakura, you seriously need to stop hanging out with the populars. They just want you to join so you could get on my nerves, and of course it's working. You need to find out who is your friend, or the one who is using you." Alli said in an angry tone.
Sakura was taken back by what Alli said. Sakura never experienced that from another girl before.
Alli then went over to the kitchen and decided to make toast. Then she grabbed a pepsi and sat down on the table.
"Yo, I have a question," Alli spoke.
"…" the whole was silent since Alli didn't address anyone.
"How do you guys get back to your homeworld?"
"Our Hokage, gave us these gemstones, to detect the next portal that will open in the next two years," Kakashi pointed out.
"What gemstone do you have?" Alli asked.
"Why do you need to know?" Sasuke pointed out.
"Because I like rocks, well gemstones to be precise, and I was curious," Alli admitted.
Sasuke then took out his gemstone and handed it to Alli. Alli then grabbed Sasuke stone and took a good look at it. "Hey this is an onyx, I love this type of gemstone, and this looks kind of like mine."
"You have an onyx stone?" Naruto asked this time.
"Yepp, you know what, I'll go get it." Alli then left to her room to find her necklace. Then she ran back downstairs to show them her necklace.
"So, what do you guys think?" Alli said as she held up her necklace.
"I thought you didn't spend money on items like this?" Sasuke said.
"Oh, I didn't buy it," Alli replied monotonous.
"Then who bought it?"
"Oh, my mom bought it for me on my birthday when I was 5, and I always wore it, but then once I started high school I stopped wearing it, because one of the jealous freaks out there, and because I didn't want to lose it, because its last good memory before she started to get drunk," Alli said. "You know what would be cool, if I could turn it into one of those cat necklaces that would be cool. But I don't have the time, anyways I got put this back."
"When is your birthday?" Naruto asked.
"Today actually, it is February 14th. I'm a Valentine baby," Alli said with a smile.
Alli then went upstairs to put her necklace upstairs. While she was doing that Team7 was having a little chat.
"Hey haven't you guys noticed that almost everything that we do connects to Alli?" Sakura whispered.
"No, I haven't noticed," Naruto said monotonously.
"Well, you are too dense to notice," Sakura replied to him.
"Yea, I noticed too, like for example, it was weird that Alli would even have the same gemstone that we have, and that she likes Karate, and fighting, like a shinobi would?" Sasuke pointed out.
"Maybe, she isn't from this world," Naruto pointed out.
"That would be stupid, how would she even get here, she would have to be born here," Sasuke pointed out.
"Then again how did we get here?" Sakura pointed out.
"We went through a portal," Naruto spoke.
"What if she went through a portal, like her real parents threw her because they didn't want her," Sakura said.
"That would be terrible, she is an awesome girl, how could nobody want her?" Naruto asked.
"Well, she isn't like any other girl," Sakura said. "I don't see how she doesn't care about her hair, or her body."
Then they all heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Well, finish this conversation later," Sasuke said to Sakura and Naruto.
Naruto and Sakura nodded their heads and they saw Alli come down the stairs. "So what are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing," they all said.
"Sure you did," Alli said sarcastically.
"Come on, lets go to bed, tomorrow, we got school," Alli said to them as she went back upstairs for a good's night's rest.
2 Years Later…
Alli, and Team7 started to get close. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Alli, were like brothers and sisters. They watched each other's backs. Kakashi was like a guardian although Alli was the one who basically taking care of them.
Alli was now 17, so she could drive to places faster and didn't have to catch the bus, while Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke were 19 and Kakashi well, he is like 31.
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke learned more about the World they were in ever since they started to go to school, but once they hit 18, they graduated and they were surprised that Naruto even graduated. Alli was still in school but she at least enjoyed coming home to her friends everyday whether she had detention or not.
Soon their days turned into weeks and soon into months and then years, and soon the deadline of Team7's departure was approaching. Alli was counting down the days until the estimated deadline and Alli guessed that it would be when school ended for her, and it was. Soon now, Team7 and Alli were standing outside in front of Alli's house saying their final goodbyes.
"I can't believe I probably won't see you guys ever again," Alli said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Hey don't cry Alli-chan, you never know there would probably another portal again, and then Tsunade-baachan will have to let us come meet you again," Naruto said cheerfully.
"Yea, your right, Naruto-kun" Alli said sadly.
Alli was actually wearing her necklace the day that Team7 was leaving.
They were all sad that they were leaving Alli, Kakashi was sad but of course he just didn't show it.
Alli said her goodbyes to Sakura and Sasuke and Kakashi, and soon they started to fade away back to their own world.
Alli whispered "Miss you guys," hoping that might hear her voice wherever they were. Then she went inside back into her house to continue out with her life.
Konoha
Team7 arrived in Tsunade office with success.
"I see you guys made it safely back to Konoha. How was the mission?"
"There world is different than our world, as you suspected. They don't have ninja, but you can learn ninja skills like taijustu there, and they have many other activities that we do, but a lot more people are aware. There was one thing that was bothering me and my team," Kakashi stated.
"Well, what was it?" Tsunade asked.
"We met this girl named Alli, she is lives in that dimension but is weird. She doesn't act like she is from there though, she was an adopted kid. She looks like Kushina, and acts like Naruto all the time, and she had the same gemstone as us. We have a theory that might be from here."
"Hm, how old is she?" Tsunade questioned.
"She is 17 years old now why?" Kakashi questioned.
"Hm, there was a case where an a born child had to be sent to another dimension but I don't know if that could possibly be her," Tsunade questioned. "I will look into it, I will look at the data files on people who went missing 17 years ago, or if I find anything interesting."
"Thanks Tsnuade-baachan!" Naruto said happily.
In a dark cave
"Are you sure, she isright person?" a guy with the mask on his face said.
"Yes," hissed a blonde hair dude.
"No wonder we couldn't find her, she was sent to a different dimension, and we have been watching her for a while now, and yes she is the one, now, we have to go and bring her back here," a guy with a scythe said.
"Who is going to retrieve her?" the Leader of the group asked.
"Oh Oh OH! I will! Tobi will go get her!" the guy with the mask said while jumping up and down and waving his hand.
"Then it is decided, Tobi and Deidara will go and retrieve the girl," the Leader spoke once again.
Then Tobi and Deidara got hold of the transporting necklace and left to the dimension of Earth.
Earth
Alli was getting ready for bed when all of a sudden she hears a knock on her front door. She goes downstairs and opens the front door to two total strangers.
"Who are you?" Alli said and before she could do anything else, her world faded to black, as she was carried away into the night.
