Chapter 6
Naruto met up with Itachi weekly on Wednesdays for lunch. Sasuke always had work on Wednesdays. Itachi understood that Naruto didn't want Sasuke to know about their friendship. Itachi enjoyed the time spent with Naruto. The blonde was lively and entertaining. Itachi could not remember the last time he had truly enjoyed the company of another person. The blonde amused him to no end.
Sasuke had noticed that Naruto had become more cheerful in the past weeks. He was reminded of the boy he had first met all those years ago. When had things changed? Why was the blonde so happy again?
"You've been awfully cheery lately." Sasuke commented. The blonde turned to look at his boyfriend. He hadn't really thought about it but he had been happier since he started talking to Itachi.
"I guess I have. We should do something tonight. How do you feel about karaoke?" Naruto looked at Sasuke waiting.
"Why not? I could give it a try for you." He said smiling at Naruto. The blonde smiled back. It had been awhile since they had gone out and done something together. Naruto couldn't wait. Things where really starting to look up.
That night the two went to a local karaoke bar. It was one Itachi had mentioned to Naruto at their weekly lunches. The place was fairly busy. They were lucky to find a table near the front. Naruto sat down while Sasuke went to the bar to get drinks.
In the back of the bar Itachi had seen them walk in. He quietly made his way to the DJ and his good friend, Nagato. He whispered something and then walk off. He sat back down at his table in the back and watched the two. He noticed that Naruto seemed really happy. Sasuke looked kind of indifferent.
"Sasuke you should go up there and sing." Naruto said to his boyfriend.
"No way. Why don't you go dobe." He said with a smirk. Naruto's smile grew wider.
"I think I will." He said getting up from the table and heading toward the DJ. After telling the DJ a song he headed back to where Sasuke was waiting for him. On his way back to the table he thought he saw Itachi sitting at one of the table but the crowd was now to thick to be sure.
Naruto was enjoying being out. Things couldn't get any better. He and Sasuke were enjoying a few drinks while watching many people try their hand at singing well know songs. The DJ called out Naruto's name. The blonde smiled nervously at his boyfriend as he got up and went to the stage.
The music started to play. Naruto could feel the beat as he waited for the cue to start singing.
6 bottles went down the drain,
one hours waste of time,
I'd ask if you feel the same,
still pushing that chance to try,
your breath in this cool room chill,
long hair that blows side to side,
you speak and make time stand still,
and each time you walk right on by...
He took a deep breath to get ready for the chorus.
Like violence you have me, forever, and after
Like violence you kill me, forever and after.
Can't count all the eyes that stare,
can't count all the things they see,
she kills with no life to spare,
just victims are left to bleed,
one drink and the pain goes down,
soft shadows lay by her feet,
lay soft as you slowly drown,
lay still while you fall asleep. (Fall asleep)
He looked out over the crowded bar. His eyes meet with Itachi's for a brief second.
Like violence you have me, forever, and after
Like violence you kill me, forever and after.
(And after…and after…and after)
Like violence you have me, forever, and after
Like violence you kill me…
Like violence you have me, forever, and after
Like violence you kill me…
Like violence you have me, forever, and after
Like violence you kill me, forever and after.
Like violence you have me, forever, and after
Like violence you kill me, forever and after.
Naruto bowed as he left the stage. Sasuke pulled him into a kiss when he reach the table.
"You did well." He told the blond. Naruto smiled brightly. He had been so nervous going up there. A few more songs were sung. Sasuke looked kind of tired but Naruto wasn't ready to go just yet.
"Just one more song please Sasuke." he said with a smile. Sasuke nodded his approval. The next name wasn't called out. The music started to play but no one was on the stage.
Hey girl, you know, you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's goin' down
As he sang the intro to the song Itachi walked onto the stage.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Itachi locked eyes with Sasuke as he sang. Sasuke could feel his blood boil.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down
I see the way you go and say you're right again
Say you're right again, heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Face down in the dirt she said, ?This doesn't hurt?
She said, ?I finally had enough?
Face down in the dirt she said, ?This doesn't hurt?
She said, ?I finally had enough?
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again
His gaze turned to Naruto who was blushing lightly. He understood why Itachi had chosen the song.
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Face down in the dirt she says, ?This doesn't hurt?
She says, ?I finally had enough?
Once he was finished Itachi left the stage. Sasuke was seeing red now. He looked over to Naruto who shuddered slightly as the rage in Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke paid the tab and the two left in silence
