note1: It's late, but I thought I needed to update this. Christmas break is coming soon though, so I should start updating again soon :)

Sakura stared. The predicament she seemed to have gotten herself in was monumentally taking a nose dive into disaster. How was she expected to sing something that she didn't know, let alone in a voice that could be considered Gaara's.

It was impossible.

"Sasuke!" A loud voice came from behind a thick glass window. The girl watched as the president tried to get into the recording booth, and failed. Apparently, Sasuke locked the door, keeping the poor girl locked in.

"Sasuke, help him out! He's just nervous." The man pleaded loudly. He seemed to understand the ultimatum that was placed upon her, yet he seemed helpless to help her.

"Gaara. Unlock the door!" Another voice broke through the loud begging coming from their boss. Sakura's eyes instantly met Minato's as she silently begged him to help her.

Sasuke made sure that she was circled by the three band members that seemed extremely eager to hear her 'angelic' voice. She couldn't move, she couldn't even think very well. All she could possibly think of is a way to apologize to her brother about ruining his dream for good.

"Gaara, this is your dream, remember? You're so close!" The blond manager reasoned. She knew what he was doing, and it was working, however the consequences of her possible actions seemed to keep her mouth firmly shut.

"It doesn't matter. He's not good enough." Sasuke decided, holding up the contract in his hands and ignored the loud protests from the two men outside of the booth.

Knowing that if the contract was ripped in two the whole ordeal would have been in vain, Sakura threw all caution to the wind and opened her mouth, letting soft notes past her lips.

She knew that her voice was too high for a man's singing, and that if Sasuke didn't like her singing, Gaara would be kicked out, but she had to try.

She closed her eyes as she continued singing a song she had once heard somewhere. The pink haired girl forced herself to relax and picture herself in her room by her piano, knowing that it would help her mental state.

As she sang, Sasuke's eyes widened as he lowered the contract and he stared at the 'man' in front of him. He hated being wrong above anything, yet the person in front of him seemed to prove him wrong in most of his claims. The voice was perfect for the songs that he wrote, though he would never admit it, and he seemed to sing well under pressure, another thing he was sure would not be true.

Watching as the red-head finished the song he was singing, Sasuke looked around the room, seeing the same reactions in his band mates and oldest friends, the black haired man sighed and turned around just as Gai ran into the room.

"Tol'ja so!" He exclaimed loudly with a huge grin on his face, clearly proud of his choice in the newest addition to the band.

Before making his exit, Sasuke glanced at his manager and thrust the contract into the man's chest. He didn't need to say anything as his manager seemed to hear his unspoken words of approval. If only slight approval.

Sakura watched silently as the three males stared at her. They clearly weren't against her singing, though Sasuke still seemed reluctant to completely accept her.

As he walked out, the other black hair man, who was still smiling a bit creepily, stopped in front of her and patted her head, "Good job." He complimented before following the other man out of the room.

Just as she thought she could walk out, the blond man jumped to cut her off and stare at her, "Wow. That was excellent! You even gave me goose bumps!" He grinned as he spoke before punching her shoulder slightly, "Let's work well together, okay?"

The blond didn't wait for a reply as he laughed and followed his two friends out.

Not knowing what to do exactly, Sakura just stood there. She could see Minato relax and lean against the frame of the door. His eyes were closed but he faced the ceiling while muttering things silently. She really hoped he was thanking whatever god he believed in, because if the man who got her into this entire ordeal was crazy, she knew it would only end in disaster.

"Thank you. So much."

Sakura smiled and nodded. "You're welcome."

"Just one more month and you'll have helped your brother out so much." Minato breathed as he sat next to the pink haired girl.

"Excuse me?" She exclaimed, turning on the park bench to stare at the blonde man, "I'm leaving tomorrow. No can do. Sorry."

Minato turned so fast that he fell from the wooden bench towards the dirt floor.

"B-but y-you can't!" He sputtered adamantly, "You can't just leave!"

"I am. I already have my flight. It's tomorrow. No can do." She repeated once more and grabbed her stuff before standing up, brushing herself off, and began walking away.

"W-wait!" The blond called after the retreating girl, "You can't just leave!"

Gathering his things, he quickly ran after her, intent on persuading her to stay for the month to help him out.
