Hey guys so I wanted to—
Sakura: NO! I wanna tell them!
Me: -_-'–Mumbles- Whatever
Sakura: Okay! So, I like totally came up with this super idea!
Sasuke: -_- it was my idea
Sakura: okay, Sasuke came up with the idea -_- happy?
Sasuke: No
Sasuke and Sakura argue. PenguinXSasusaku threw down her keyboard and walked away mumbling "Why did I create such irritating characters"
Neji: Yo. Anyway PenguinXSasusaku realized she doesn't have a name for the band. So she wants our fans to review and tell us what the name should be. She'll then pick four of her favorites and post them for you guys to vote. Choose wisely, for my pride is in your hands.
Sakura: Awwww Neji :'( I wannteeddd to duuu ihhhhtttt.

Neji
When the initial shock of Itachi's arrival finally ended, I found myself upstairs in the recording room. The equipment was laid out in order; six guitars, two drum sets, and two microphones. My hands trailed each one, which reflected each of the owners' personality.
Sakura's microphone was a modern cordless one with silver and black studs on it. The band name Anbu was spelled out in pink jewels. Her guitar was also a simple acoustic painted a deep purple with a black abstract design that started at the bottom left hand corner and stretched upwards. The neck was made of deep oak and on the sides, each fret was numbered. The guitar had some ware, but then again, this was the guitar she was using when we first met her.
Sasuke's was an electric-acoustic with a black neck and deep blue surface. His name was written in white ink along the edge. His microphone was more old fashioned; a simple black one with a stand. I remember asking him once, "Why do you use one like that?" He looked at me and seemed to think about it. Then he smirked. "The girls like it when I do the Elvis thing." I remember rolling my eyes and walking away.
Naruto and Shikamaru's basses were similar. They were very plain except for Naruto's whose guitar was bright neon orange with a black fox face on it. Shikamaru's was a deep green with a Japanese symbol on it that meant sleep.
My cousins' guitar had been a gift from me on her thirteenth birthday. It was a very light purple with her name engraved in gold. I was surprised at how well kept it was. Inos' was a light blue with a lot of scratches and was that… leopard fur? I rolled my eyes and walked over to my drum set; which was simply black with an oak trim.
Ten ten's drum set was white, with a light glittery green camo trim. Her sticks were splintered.
I sat down in my seat and put on my headphones the eliminated all sounds except for the beat that I started to play. It started out as a simple beat: Snare, Base, Snare, Base, Base, Low, High, High, Crash, and another Base. Then I started to fall into it; the beat rising. I didn't notice Tenten slip in until I finished with my snare roll. When I did, my hand fell loose and my stick broke.
"Oh my god!" Tenten yelled as she ran towards me. She kept apologizing and then ran to her case and started to dig for a new stick. I found myself staring at her ass and I couldn't help but smirk. She was wearing a black sequined skirt that- when she was kneeling like that- showed a lot of thigh. She wore a white tank top too, with a matching coat. Her whit flats had come off her heel and she knelt. When she jumped up, her smile shone brightly.
She handed me a stick that was barley used. I thanked her and went back to examining her. I heard a phone vibrate so I checked my back pocket, but I realized it wasn't me when Tenten teasingly *coughmyimaginationcough* pulled her black I phone from inside her bra. She replied to the text and smiled.
"Going somewhere?" I asked, watching as she blushed slightly.
"Um, yeah, the guy from last night wants to meet at the mall." She looked up and frowned, "Oh, and I wanted to apologize for last night. When I'm drunk I speak my mind."
"No, forget about it. So this guy, why are you going out with him?"
"Well, I mean you rejected me. I'm not the type of person to be sad; I just try to start over and put myself out there. This guy is cute; his name's Sai and he is just sooooo sweet." She smiled and skipped off; when she reached the door I had to stop her.
"Tenten," I said watching as her face lit up. I struggled to find the words, but I couldn't and I cringed as I spoke, "Have fun." Her face fell and I felt bad as she left. Now, in my situation, there are many things you can do; my solution?
I waited a few minutes until I heard her motorcycle start up and drive down the street, then ran downstairs into Sakura and Itachi. Sakura looked pissed and Itachi was looking at her. I rolled my eyes.
"Sakura, you remember when I helped Sasuke spy on you when you went on that date with Sasori?" Sakura looked at me and frowned.
"No," She said, "What the hell?" I rolled my eyes and ignored her.
"Well Tenten is going out with this guy at the mall and I need your help to spy on them. We need Sasuke too." Sakura thought about all the information I had just given her. She sighed and leaned against the wall.
"Sasuke's gone. Naruto will give us away too easily and Shikamaru is with Ino. Hinata is sleeping and I am not waking her up." I cocked my eyebrow at Itachi and Sakura shook her head no.
"I'll help." Itachi said, causing Sakura to hit her head against the wall. I smirked and led the two upstairs where we started to change our looks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 20 minutes later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched as Sakura looked into the mirror. She was wearing a long blonde wig and blue contacts. She had on a light blue dress –she borrowed from Ino- that was tight at the top, but fell freely. Her white flats and natural make-up looked so different compared to her usual look. She looked at herself and froze, then smiled. Itachi finally came out of the room, dressed in baggy cargo jeans, a muscle shirt and a wig that gave him short raggy hair. He looked like those skaters.
I then looked at me. I kept my hair, but put in blur contacts and wore plaid shorts with a black v-neck. Not bad.
When we reached my grey Ferrari, Sakura sat up front and Itachi took the back. Sakura seemed tense and I sighed.
I didn't know the full story about them, but apparently after Sakura and Sasuke broke up and Sakura started her band, she met
Itachi. Sasuke never talked about his family and he told Sakura his middle name instead of last. So Sakura and Itachi dated until one day Itachi found out what happened between Sakura and Sasuke and got pissed saying that she had only dated him because he reminded her of his brother. That was the day Sakura found out that Itachi was Sasuke's brother. She told Itachi that she had no idea that they were related, but Itachi dismissed her as a liar and screamed at her, and then left her alone in the rain.
To ease the tension, I turned up the radio to one of Sakura's favorite songs, causing her to calm down and started to sing along. (Tonite by:Hot Chelle Rae)
Uno Dos Tres
It's been a really really messed up week
Seven days of torture, seven days of bitter
And my girlfriend went and cheated on me
She's a California dime but it's time for me to quit her.
La la la, whatever, la la la, it doesn't matter,
La la la, oh well, la la laa, we're going at it tonight.
Chorus:
Tonight, there's a party on the rooftop top of the world,
Tonight, tonight, and we're dancing on the edge of the Hollywood *sign*,
I don't know if I'll make it, but watch how good I'll fake it,
It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight.
I woke up with a strange tattoo
Not sure how I got it, not a dollar in my pocket
And it kinda looks just like you
Mixed with Zach Galifianakis
La la la, whatever, la la la, it doesn't matter,
La la la, oh well, la la la, we're going at it tonight.
Chorus:
Tonight, there's a party on the rooftop top of the world,
Tonight, tonight, and we're dancing on the edge of the Hollywood *sign*
I don't know if I'll make it, but watch how good I'll fake it
It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight
I turned off the radio when we pulled into the parking lot and Sakura jumped out of the car. We followed each other into the three story mall and people stopped and stared at us.
"Omg he is like so cute."
"Dude she's so hott."
"Look at the tall one, hmmmhmmm."
Sakura and Itachi seemed completely oblivious to the fans and continued to walk. As I followed in front of them, Sakura grabbed my collar and forced me down in time to see Tenten walk holding hands with a dark haired dude.
"Was that Sasuke?" I asked, pretty sure that's who I saw. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me.
"Tell me Itachi, is there another brother I don't know of?" Itachi cringed at the blow. "Stay here," Sakura said and then went to the middle of the mall. She took out her cell phone and walked towards the couple. She 'accidentally' bumped into Tenten, and Sakura's purse contents fell on to the floor.
"Oh my goodness," Sakura said using a Texan accent, "I'm so sorry." Tenten smiled and talked to her for a few minutes, helping Sakura pick up her items. They said something else and then walked back towards us.
"So," I asked irritated. Sakura looked up from her phone and then sent a text to Tenten. I watched over her shoulder as she typed.
To: Tennie:D
From: Saki
Need an SOS? I'm near the mall.
"An SOS?" I asked looking at her. She smiled and Itachi answered for her.
"It's a girl thing; it means that a date's not going well and you send a SOS to a friend and she calls and creates an emergency to get away from the date." I nodded and then looked at Itachi.
"How do you know what it is?" Sakura grabbed my sleeve and pulled me in the direction Tenten was walking. When we stopped behind a phone counter she looked at the phone.
"Because I used an SOS on our first date."
"Why did you SOS?" I asked.
"I took her to an art gallery."
"He took me to an art gallery." They said at the same time and I actually laughed.
"You took Sakura to an art gallery? She hates anything that involves conformity."
"She said she was an artist." Itachi mumbled irritably.
"Yeah, a music artist." Sakura said, smiling when her phone vibrated. I found myself smirking and Itachi rolled his eyes. "We have a problem," She said showing me her phone.
To: Sakkiiiiiiiii
From: Tenten
No, I think he might be legit. It feels weird though,
I thought I would be here with him.
I froze. She was talking about me. "I'm going to fix this. I will make her mine." I said looking at the music store.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura
I watched as Neji walked into the music store. It took him ten minutes, but when he came out, his contacts were out and he had a guitar in his hand. He then took off towards Tenten who was looking at him as if he was wearing a bright pink shirt. He took a few moments to tune the guitar then looked at her as he began to sing. (Just So You Know by: J. McCartney)
I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
[Chorus:]
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
[Chorus]
This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here
[Chorus]
When he finished I watched as Tenten looked at her date then at Neji. Her date, whose name was Sai if I remember correctly, smiled and waved, leaving Tenten flabbergasted (surprised). She then ran right into Neji's arms; the crowd cheered. And I laughed.
"You had something to do with this, didn't you?" Itachi asked me. I nodded.
"Sai is a friend of mine," I said getting up and walking to the exit. "Neji wouldn't have went for her if I hadn't of stepped in." I stopped at the door and looked back at Itachi. He had gotten rid of his wig and it was discarded by mine. "My bike's outside. Let's go." We walked outside to the mall garage.
Okay, so my bike is actually a 2010 KTM RC8. The body is solid black and the cover is colored gold. My name is on the left side in silver and the spoiler is rimmed with gold coloring. This bike was my life. I usually keep it in the storage garage that's located in the mall garage. I whistled as I ran my hand over her seat. I haven't road her since the tour began.
"Hey baby, did you miss me?" Itachi rolled his eyes but I could see he was impressed. I saddled her and started her engine, which revved perfectly. Itachi sat behind me and held on to the back rail. Within a few minutes we were flying down the freeway.
"Can you slow down!" Itachi yelled out over the loud wind.
"I'm not even going the speed limit!" I yelled, smiling.
"I know your going twenty over the speed limit!"
I laughed and revved again, passing between two cars, each of which, honked at me.

Sasuke
When I got back from the hospital, I set my keys on the counter and sighed. My mother had been there and was happy, but, like always, my father and I ended up fighting. He had been admitted into the hospital because of a heart attack. I sat in the recliner and watched as Naruto and Shikamaru sat down and played some racing video game.
"Where's everyone?" I asked. Ino came down from upstairs and sat on the couch.
"Sakura, Neji and your brother are spying on Tenten's date at the mall." Ino said taking a sip of her coke. Naruto, who had his eyes trained on the TV laughed.
"Yeah, it's weird that Itachi volunteered. After all, he did date Sakura. I figured it would be awkward between them."
"What?" I asked, anger surging through me. Naruto looked at me and started the whole side of the story. I listened disgusted. "She dated my brother?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"Well she didn't know you two were related!" Naruto said in her defense. At that moment I heard Sakura's bike pull up. I looked outside the window and saw Sakura and Itachi dismount. Sakura was laughing about something and Itachi was smirking. When they came inside I couldn't help but let my anger out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura
When Itachi and I walked inside I saw Sasuke standing against the wall and Naruto sending an apologetic smile my way. I rolled my eyes and set my black helmet down.
"What did I do now?" I asked, crossing my arms. Sasuke took a deep breath and talked slowly.
"You dated my brother?" I took a few moments to think about it and then nodded my head. "What the hell Sakura?" He said, his voice rising.
"Leave her—"Itachi tried to step in front of me but I pushed him away.
"Stay out of this Itachi!" I yelled irritably. I turned at Sasuke and pointed my acrylic black-tipped fingernail at his chest. "And you, oh you need to get the facts straight! How the hell am I supposed to know anything about your family? You never want to talk about it, so yeah, I dated your fucking brother but I had no idea. And if you want to side with Itachi on the whole I-dated-him-because-he-reminded-me-of-you then you go ahead. I'm going to the fucking concert tonight so if you get over your little tantrum, then meet me at the bridge at 7. If not, ill take the hint and we'll break up." I said *coughyelledcough* with my hands in the air. Without a second thought I grabbed my helmet and ran outside, mounted my bike, and sped off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~
I looked at my watch. The numbers glowed bright blue- 12:00. I nodded my head and hugged my jacket close to my body. When I had left, I stopped at a store to change and now I was wearing red plaid shorts with three belts and a white tank with a long black coat. It was fucking cold as hell and, to my luck, it was raining. The bridge, well the whole town, was empty. Either people were asleep or at the concert that was down the street. Sasuke didn't show. Sasuke didn't show. I looked out to the lake and yelled to no one in particular:
"Stupid Sasuke!" I was thankful for the rain because it hid my tears. I had parked my bike in a garage and I cringed because I didn't want to take her in the rain. Guess I was walking home.
As I walked, lyrics formed in my head. And since I was alone, I decided to sing. (I'm with you: Aviril)
I'm standin' on the bridge
I'm waitin' in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
I'm tryin' to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you
Hmm hmm hmm
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
I try to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you
Yea yea
Oh, why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea eee yeah, yea eee yeah
Yea yee yea, yea eee yeah,yeah
It's a damn cold night
Tryin' to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you, yea
I'm with you, yea
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you, yea
I'm with you, yea
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I'm, I'm with you, oh
I'm with you
I'm with you
I heard a car come up from behind me and I turned around to see it was a black Lamborghini. Sasuke? I looked for hope, but when the window rolled down I saw Itachi. Disappointed, I continued to walk, the car following behind me.
"God Sakura, you're soaked. Come on." I shook my head and continued to walk. My watch beeped, saying it was 2 in the morning. Itachi sighed. "If you keep walking, you'll ruin your shoes." I looked down at my checkered vans. They were already wet, but if I continued to walk, they might tear. I stopped and stared at them and Itachi gave a sad smile. Surprising him, I bent down, took my shoes off, threw them through the window, and then broke out into a run. I heard Itachi smirk and follow after me, but I turned down and alley that the car couldn't fit through. When I finally stopped, my breathing was loud and my heart beating fast. I collapsed onto my knees, crying. I wasn't surprised when the Lamborghini pulled up behind me.
"He didn't come for me Itachi." I said looking at the floor. I heard him step out of the door and walk behind me.
"Did you know that there are twenty-two bridges that lead to this island?" I looked up shocked, Sasuke smirked down at me. I saw an orange viper and another Lamborghini pull up and Itachi, Naruto, and Neji waved at me from their seats. Sasuke kneeled down beside me. "So when I reached the bridge you were at, I was late. Do you forgive me?" I looked at him. His dark jeans and black button up shirt were soaked and he looked at me pleadingly. Without hesitation, I jumped at him, both of us landing on the ground laughing.
I
