Waaahh! Sorry! This is short too! But tell me what you think. By the way, the song is At the beginning from Annastasia (brings back good memories.)
Blah- Sakura singing
Blah- Sasuke singing
Blah- Both singing
CHAPTER 10
Finally, it was the day of the concert. But of course, I had to attend the anniversary first.
Sadly, all of us were so tired that night because of the two events that we over slept and now we were running late.
Jugo drove us in Kimimaro's car. I could see Suigetsu adjust his tie. I straightened my dress.
The dress Jugo gave me was black. It had a red sash around the waist and had a slight V neck that didn't show anything (thank god.) Its sleeves were elbow length and the hem of the skirt reached two inches below my knees. I wore black gloves and a black choker along with a black ribbon in my hair. I also wore black leggings that reached my mid calves with black converse.
Hey! It ain't my fault that I don't have nice shoes; just my converse, DC and Vans. That's what you get for living with your brother and his friends all your life.
Jugo dropped us off to the cemetery. Jugo then went to school. He told us we had to come to school on our own since the traffic would be impossible to escape.
Suigetsu and I placed flowers on their graves. The graves were located a bit far from the others, next to the forest. It was peaceful and the sunset could be seen perfectly from there.
"Hey mom," Suigetsu said as he stood above her grave. "How's the afterlife treating you?"
I rolled my eyes. Suigetsu chatted happily about his dreams over Mangetsu's grave. I was glad to see Suigetsu smile and laugh for real.
Three hours had gone by but hey I still had time to spare.
I sat in between mom and dad's grave, "Mom, dad, I'm going to perform at a concert today. Suigetsu and Kiba signed me up for a band audition without my permission. Can you believe that?"
I told them everything, even though I knew they'd never reply. I felt good talking to my parents, even if they were dead.
My cell phone buzzed. I sighed and answered it.
"Sakura," Jugo said urgently. "You and Suigetsu have to get here fast!"
"What's wrong?" I said. I checked the time on my phone. "I'm not gonna perform for about another hour and a half."
"A few items were cancelled due to some problems with the equipment," he said. "Your number is coming up in about 15 minutes."
"Crap!" I yelled as I stood up and dusted my skirt. "I'll be right there."
"Hurry, Sakura." Jugo hung up.
"What's up?" Suigetsu asked.
"My number is coming up in 15 minutes. I gotta go." Suigetsu nodded and we ran out the cemetery while yelling goodbye over our shoulders.
We couldn't get a cab because of the traffic so our only option was to run. But then again, school was very far away from the cemetery.
I checked the time again. I had only 10 minutes.
I saw the gates of the school and boy I was happy.
I heard Sasuke speak through the mike.
"Are you enjoying the show?" The crowd went wild. I could practically feel that annoying smirk of his from far away.
"Well, as you all know," he continued. "Sharingan is to have a new female vocalist and today we're gonna perform the last number with her."
"To tell you the truth," said Neji. "We don't know who she is." A lot of murmurs erupted from the crowd.
"So today, it won't be you who'll be meeting her for the first time," said Naruto. "But it will be our first time meeting her too. BELIEVE IT!"
"We're gonna play a song called 'At the Beginning'," Shikamaru said lazily. "Enjoy." The crowd went wild.
The band had started to play and it was my turn to sing.
"Come on!" Suigetsu yelled as we dashed pass the crowd and headed backstage. Kiba and Jugo were already there.
"Go get'em Sak." Kiba said as he handed me a mic and pushed me towards the stage.
The band stopped playing probably because I wasn't singing. They started to play again and this time I started to sing.
Sasuke was worried for two reasons: one, the mystery girl wouldn't make it and two; he'd never get to know who she was.
The crowd was murmuring something. Sasuke urged Shikamaru to play the key board again. This time he heard the voice.
We were strangers,
starting out on a journey
Everyone looked to see who was singing to see . . . Sakura. Sasuke's eyes widened. He never thought it would be Sakura. Even the crowd was baffled. She was wearing a black dress and was sheepishly walking towards him with a mic in her hand.
Never dreaming
what we'd have to go through.
Now here we are,
and I'm suddenly standing,
at the beginning with you
Sasuke joined her and started to sing along.
No one told me
I was going to find you,
Unexpected
what you did to my heart,
They stared at each other as they sang.
When I lost hope
you were there to remind me
this is the start.
And life is a road
and I wanna to keep going
love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
life is a road
now and forever
wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
in the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you.
Sakura smiled as she sang the next lines.
We were strangers
on a crazy adventure.
Sasuke gave a small smirk.
Never dreaming
how our dreams would come true.
Now here we stand unafraid of the future.
At the beginning with you.
And life is a road
and I wanna to keep going
love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
life is a road
now and forever
wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
in the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you.
I knew there was somebody somewhere
that made love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothings gonna tear us apart.
And life is a road
and I wanna to keep going
love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
life is a road
now and forever
wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
in the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you.
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you
The crowd went wild. Sasuke gazed into Sakura's eyes and gave a soft smile. He took her hand, "I'd like to introduce the female vocalist of Sharingan; Haruno Sakura!"
It was amazing standing on stage while the crowd cheered your name. I couldn't help but smile. Naruto tackled me with a hug. I returned it and looked at Sasuke, who was smirking at me. I don't know why but my insides turned into mush when he did.
After the concert, I went with the band to meet their managers. As we were walking, Naruto kept grinning and babbling about how he never thought it was me.
"You were, scratch that, YOU ARE AWESOME SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled. I blushed and mumbled a thank you. I could feel Sasuke's stare on my back. I wonder what he's thinking . . .
Their manager turned out to be . . . Itachi. He smiled at me, "Hello Sakura. So you are the new member of Sharingan."
"Kiba and Suigetsu's fault." I said sheepishly.
"Heard you sing," said Itachi. "Welcome to the band. You have such a nice voice."
"Thanks." I said with a blush.
"Sakura-chan!" Mikoto said as she tackled me with a hug. "Your voice is incredible. You really are your mother's girl aren't you?"
I grinned. Suigetsu, Jugo and Kiba came up to us.
"Awesome, Sak." Kiba said as he high fived with me.
"Tomorrow, we'll be having a party to celebrate. All of you better be there!" Naruto exclaimed.
Me: Review, unless you want me to kill Suigetsu. –presses kunai to Suigetsu's throat-
Suigetsu: -sigh- You're still mad I didn't take you out for ice cream huh?
Me: -Presses kunai closer-
