Chapter Three
SAKURA STOOD OUT FRONT OF THE RECORD COMPANY CUTCHING HER UNEASY STOMACH, SHE COULD FEEL JUST ABOUT EVERY CREEPY CRAWLY IN IT, SQUIRMING AND WIGGLING ALL ABOUT. She looked next to her to see Temari smiling at took a deep breath and walked up the stairs. Breathing hard. She feared the president would see right through the Sunano's rouse and know she was a girl. Temari and Kankuro feared the same thing, but they worried more for opened the door for the siblings and let them enter before her. Following them to the President's office thoughts raced in her head.
On the way to the company Sakura remembered the lead singer to the band and the encounter she had with him. Biting her lip she shrunk behind Kankuro's tall figure not wanting anybody to see her. Temari opened the door plastering on a fake smile "President Tsuande!" Temari exclaimed happily. "We have brought Gaara for the meeting."
As if almost on cue, three boys entered one happy, one in-different to the situation, and a very intensely angry. They all took their seats as Sakura stood trying to avoid eye contact with any of them. She picked at a string on her shirt but got a strong burning sensation on the side of her head .Curiosity getting the better of her she turned to look to see what was trying to set her on fire. Sadly it took three milliseconds for her to find the source.
Glaring at her from ten feet away was Sasuke Uchiha with the most intense hate she's ever seen in her life. She stared at him a few moments later more like a deer caught in headlights until she heard someone calling out a name realizing it was her alias. Man she was sure was gonna have to get use to this, fast if she was gonna make it believable. She snapped her attention to busty blond women in her late forties sat behind a honey wooden desk. Her fingers were painted a hot crimson and intertwined in front of her mouth as her elbows rest on the desk. She wore a lime green blazer with a beige button up shirt. She stared intensely at Sakura.
"Gaara "she began "You know why you are here right?" sweat dropped on Sakura's face, she didn't know why her brother had to sign a contract with the president of Konaha records, it just was alien to her. Before Sakura could speak Temari butted into the conversation. "President I think HE needs a refresher." Temari gave a shaky laugh as she grabbed onto Sakura's shoulders and gave them a tight squeeze.
Tsunade sighed "As you know Cell 7 records rates have been dropping which we guessed would happen after the three years they have been around mean it's not like we can recreate another Akatsuki"she gave a chuckled has Temari gave a shaky one "Well one of the managers of the band suggested we bring on a new member and like a Godsend gift we discovered Gaara's performance on an American show on the web and we just knew we had to have him in our group." Sakura nodded her head following along. "So Gaara," Tsunade looked Sakura in her eyes. "If you would be so kind as to sign our lovely documents, as your manager and I disc-"Tsunade was cut off early by Temari "Actually I would like to request one change" She said firmly "And what might that be?" Tsunade raised a perfectly threaded eyebrow "Higher pay for Gaara." Sakura looked at Sakura with her eyes bulging out of her head. Tsunade and Temari had a Mexican stand off before Tsunade busted out in a loud stern laugh. "Done deal, now Gaara please sign." Sakura and Temari seemed to be shocked at how willing the President was to a pay raise. Sakura took a few small steps toward the President before she felt a firm grasp around her arm and someone pulling her toward the door. Sakura looked up and saw it was Sasuke who looked forward as he dragged her to a room.
A cold sweat broke out on Sakura's skin "This is the end" she thought to herself, she saw behind her the other two members were following close almost started crying she was so nervous. She was about to break what little composure she had until she felt herself getting shoved into a room full of mics and instruments. She fell onto to the carpet. Turning around a little to look at them before her, she saw Sasuke staring down on her with his arms crossed and a sour look on his face while the other two boys closed and locked the door. She could see the President and the Sunano siblings looking in through the huge window, Temari started banging on the window and shouting to the boys.
Sasuke took a deep breath. "Before you just sign the stupid women's paper and join us, you must earn our respect, as we are your senpais and we have been in this band longer than you, and if you think you can just join so easily you are mistaken, if you don't even earn our respect then there is no point to you even joining and signing that contract." He smirked at her. "So either sing or just leave." She looked at the other two shifting her gazes between them. She could hear Temari and Kankuro shouting and banging on the glass window, she looked at them, and then thought of her brother. She didn't want to ruin his reputation, or his name. She furrowed her brows and felt a fire deep within her give her a new energy. Slowly rising to her feet she looked at everyone, Temari and Kankuro's noise ceased as they looked at Sakura nervous as to what she was doing, President Tsunade smirked and Sasuke stared astounded at the red haired boy who stood before him with a determination in his eyes.
