I glared at everything that dared step infront of me as we entered the concert hall. The actual concert wasn't until 5 that evening, but they were feeding us dinner here before then and Orochimaru was obsessive when it came to practicing, even before a concert.
"I take back what I said yesterday." Suigetsu came to stand next to me, "Now you're grumpier than ever."
"Shut it," I growled in replied.
"Case and point," he confirmed, unfazed by my murderous intent.
"When are we done with this damn tour anyway?" I turned my glare to Orochimaru.
"Didn't you know?" I turned my glare back to Suigetsu, "Tonight is our last concert. We'll be home in a week.
*naruto's Pov*
I slammed the door to Sakura's house and stormed into the living room. Sakura's eyes followed me as flopped rather violently into the sofa next to Gaara. I crossed my arms over my chest and glared.
"Wow, I haven't seen you this pissy since the ice princess left. I thought he was the only one who could piss you off this much." Sai chuckled from across the room where he sat with his easel.
"Ice princess?" Shikamaru asked, coming to sit next to me on the couch, his arm casually from the third couch in the room.
"Stupid Teme bastard!" I growled.
"Ah, so he IS to blame" Sai said thoughtfully.
"I don't hear from him in two months and he fucking calls me at three in the morning to interrogate me for no fucking reason!" I yelled.
"Naruto, language, my parents are home you know!" Sakura reprimanded.
"Troublesome," Shikamaru sighed, letting his head fall back and instantly falling asleep.
"He calls us troublesome?" Sakura snorted. I shrugged, settling back to sulk against the couch.
"How are things going on your home end anyway Gaara? Temari's attention caught or do we have to try harder? The private school's summer ends at the end of the week. " Sai suddenly asked.
Gaara snorted.
"Hook line and sinker," Sakura translated.
*Now back to Pissy Sasuke*
"Now what has my rockstar in such a tiff?" Orochimaru sat next to me at the table where I had been glaring at the window.
"Hn," was the answer I deemed worthy of his question.
"Now now Sasuke, I want an answer. Was it seeing your brother?" He paused, judging my expression. "Hmmm, or did he bring news of the little Kitsune."
I turned my glare from the window to him.
"Ah, I see I guessed correctly." He smirked. "She is proving to be quite the distraction to you Sasuke."
"Shove it Orochimaru. That is one aspect of my life you have no say in."
"So I see." He chuckled darkly, "I apologize for overstepping my bounds then."
I had to repress the urge to shiver at the look in his eyes before I turned away.
*Back to Naruto*
I tossed my arms around Shikamaru's neck and for once he actually took the energy to swing me around in his arms. "Bye Shika" I grinned when he finally put me down.
A gentle hand ruffled my hair before he bent to press a light kiss to my cheek. "Bye Naru. I'll see you again soon." He sent a lazy wave toward my friends as Gaara came to stand at my shoulder, placing his arm over my shoulders protectively.
"Make her cry and I'll kill you." Gaara gave Shikamaru a final glare before leading me away.
*Guy with the stick up his ass*
When the bus pulled into the quiet town it was well past midnight. The entire town was dark. My band mates were asleep in different places on the bus, but I could only glare out the window. The week had been too long for my liking, but now I could kill my dobe. I paused to think about that statement before realizing that it is absolutely correct, she is my dobe whether she and I have ever dated or not.
"We're here!" the bus drivers shout woke the sleeping people on the bus.
I was first on the list for being dropped off, for which I was thankful. We pulled up infront of my house and I sulked off as quickly as I could and stormed up the walkway to my house.
"BYE SASUKE!" came Karin's shriek from the window, which I duly ignored. I heard the bus drive off behind me, but again ignored it.
Instead of actually entering my house, I tossed my suitcase inside and slammed the door shut, briskly walking to my car. It didn't take long to arrive at the brilliantly painted house. I didn't bother to knock, I simply burst through the door and stormed to the bright orange door.
"Welcome back!" I heard from upstairs. I didn't pause to answer, but simply kept going. As expected the lights were still on downstairs. I was careful to close the door softly and sneak down the stairs. I was shocked when I didn't hear any music. The music room came into sight and there sat Naruto on one of her bean bags staring moodily at the ceiling.
"Hello Naruto." I broke the silence of the basement room.
"Teme? What are you doing here?" Naruto jumped up to stare at me.
I smirked at her response, lounging back casually against the doorframe. "My tour is over, so now I'm home. Anyway, want to tell me why you hung up on me?"
I kept my gaze casual and calm as I looked her over. She seemed to stiffen at my gaze. I smirked, somehow she could withstand my glare without a flinch but me composed and angry was another story.
"Oh I don't know, maybe because I didn't hear from your for two months then you suddenly call to interrogate me for no fucking reason!"
"No reason? You had a boyfriend!" I shouted, standing up straight and glaring.
"Whats your point you have five girlfriends!" She countered, crossing her arms and glaring back at me.
"They don't count!"
"Why not!"
"You know why not!" I took a step toward her.
"Well then he doesn't count either!" her eyebrows furrowed.
"And why the hell not?"
She paused, "Because it was only to get him with Temari." Her eyebrows furrowed further in confusion, "I figured Akatsuki were the ones that told you. They helped me set up some of the places with us."
"What?" I felt myself deflate.
"He goes to school with Temari but he and Sakura used to know eachother when they were little their parents were friends apparently so his parents sent him out here to visit her. So we hung out and found out that he liked Temari, but was too damn lazy to do anything about it so we came up with a way that SHE would do something."
I blinked, then blinked again before I felt a smile pull at my mouth. Naruto was now full out pouting as I chuckled. "So this whole thing… was over you having a fake boyfriend."
Naruto's pout intensified, "Why would it matter if I got a boyfriend anyway teme?"
I didn't bother answering and stepped forward to ruffle her hair affectionately, "I'm home dobe."
"Yeah yeah, welcome back bastard." She stated swatting my hand away.
