Everyone moved with the beat as Hinata sang in her lovely voice. When it was over, she was greeted by a roar of applause. Akamaru made enough noise as it was.

Lastly was Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. The three of them went up on the stage, and Sakura felt her knees wobble a bit. She always had a bit of stage fright before a show, sometimes it was worse than others. As long as I focus on Sasuke-kun, I should be o.k.

Standing behind the keyboard, Sakura positioned the mic as Naruto picked up the drumsticks grinning wildly. He was born to be on stage. Sasuke, too, did not seem uncomfortable up there with all the people watching.

Alright Sakura, remember the keys, the melody, and the lyrics and all will end well.

"Pst, Sakura-chan…" Naruto called quietly. Looking over at him, he smiled broadly. "Kick butt." Grinning back she returned her attention to her instrument. When Sasuke nodded to show he was ready, Sakura and Naruto nodded back. Sasuke began the beat and after a sharp intake of breath, Sakura followed suit, singing, Yura Yura.

(A/N) Song Sakura picks is Yura Yura-

Sakura is the beginning voice and Sasuke is the one that come in later! Lyrics Courtesy of Anime Lyrics Dot Com

Original / Romaji Lyrics

English Translation

Yura yura to yuganda sora e

Kimi no moto e tonde yuke

Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru

Futatsu no omoi

Through the wavering, distorted sky

Let them fly to you

That feel so close together

These two loves

Zutto soba ni ita kara

Aita suki ma ookisugite

Namaiki na kimi no sunao na henji

"Mata ne..." ga sabishii

You were always by my side

So the gap you made is so huge

Your cheeky response, "See ya..."

Makes me sad

Minarenai machi de naiteru nara

Soba ni inakutemo egao wa todoketai

If you're crying in an unfamiliar town

Even if I'm not by your side, I want to send you a smile

Yura yura to yuganda sora e

Kimi no moto e tonde yuke

Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru

Futatsu no omoi

Through the wavering, distorted sky

Let them fly to you

That feel so close together

These two loves

Hitorikake no sofaa

Mannaka wo toriatta ne

Itsumademo mukiatte iru tame ni

Futari wa ganbareru

We each sat in the middle

Of one sofa

We can keep trying

To keep looking at each other forever

Miageta yozora wa kumo ga harete

Yume ni mukatteru hitomi wa kawaranai

When I look up at the night sky, the clouds disappear

My eyes will keep looking towards my dream

Kirakira to kagayaku hoshi wa

Ima mo kimi wo terashiteru

Deatta hi to kawaranu sora no shita

Hitotsu no chikai

Even now, the shining, sparkling stars

Are shining on you

Under the sky that hadn't changed since the day we met

We made a single vow

Hanasu toki ni kami wo sawaru kuse ga utsutte iru

Hitorikiri de nemuru

Mune no itami sae kitto kizuna

I can see your habit of touching your hair when you talk

As I sleep alone

Even the pain in our hearts is surely a bond

Yura yura to yuganda sora e

Kimi no moto e tonde yuke

Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru

Futatsu no omoi

Through the wavering, distorted sky

Let them fly to you

That feel so close together

These two loves

Kirakira to kagayaku hoshi wa

Itsumo futari utsushiteru

Deatta hi to kawaranu sora no shita

Hitotsu no chikai

The shining, sparkling stars

Always reflect the two of us

Under the sky that hadn't changed since the day we met

We made a single vow

A/N Before I translated this song, I picked it 'cas I liked the beat….hehe….

During the performance, Keikai and Merodi escaped from a sidetracked Tenten and charged up onto the stage and began to tussle between the three players. Without missing a beat, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto, as well as everyone else, regarded the two felines playing. Naruto glanced at Sakura and blushed, she looked so nice in the stage light.

When they finished with Hitotsu no chikai, Everyone clapped, some people even whistled. As they left the stage, they could still hear people applauding. Kei-chan and Mero-chan followed Sakura off the stage as Kakashi reappeared 'magically.'

"And now, for the best band of last year. Give it up for the Screws."

Tenten gave Sakura a half salute when she passed, going up on stage. No way. Tenten?

Neji passed her silently, brushing by, while Lee did cartwheels all the way on stage. And he's still wearing green tights… Sakura noticed…

Tenten on drums, Neji behind a lead guitar, they began. Wait….where's Lee?

Leaning around some people, Sakura still couldn't see Lee. Is he even up there?

Neji and Tenten began, Neji singing while Tenten pounded out the beat. Halfway through the song, Lee suddenly became visible to Sakura's eye, but she almost fell over.

Is that…..is that a triangle I see?

A/N http://profile. song- Yes, it is a Naruto one. :

Hurry it up! Wring it out!

Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...

Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,

If it isn't you, then what's the point?

So I'll go further and further away!

nuritsubusu no sa shiroku shirou

Your world will become a thing of deceit

painted all in white...

When Neji finished singing, every girl in the audience seemed to go GaGa. Naruto seemed unimpressed by their display though. When they had finished, Sakura made her way back to the stage. If everyone else was done going, it was her turn to go back up. As she passed Lee, he gave her the 'thumbs up' and creepy smile. Sakura was a little unnerved over how his teeth made that ping sound every time he smiled.

Going back up on stage and taking a seat behind the paino they rolled back on, Sakura waited only for Kakashi's word. Kakashi pulled the microphone a little closer.

"Alright, for all you couples out there, and those of you single find a date, because it's now time for the slow songs. Buddy up." He walked off stage nonchalantly, leaving Sakura exposed and alone it seemed to her. Deep breath, you've practiced this. More confident, she started the melody with her right hand and added the left hand after a bit. From the corner of her eye she could see some couples dancing beautifully. The guys had their hands on the girls' waists as they looked eye in eye. Sakura's mind began to wander.

I wonder what it'd be like to dance with Sasuke-kun…Sakura began to imagine it. She had her green jade dress on and Sasuke had his fine black suite. They looked eye for eye as gentle music swayed around them. He smiled at her, and suddenly her vision dissolved. The mystery man now stood in Sasuke's place, smiling down at her. He pulled her closer and….

The song ended. Sakura carefully chose another one from the top of her head and began again. The mystery man came again when she tried to imagine Sasuke and her dancing. After the fourth time, Sakura began to feel a little odd. Shaking her head to clear the cobwebs, she focused on the music and not the daydream. Sigh…

CHA! What's with that dark man infiltrating my personal thoughts!? I oughtta….

"Sakura-chan…Psst…Sakura-chan." Naruto urged from one end of the stage. She looked over at him. "You okay? Hinata said you didn't look too good. Are you sick?" He whispered.

She shook her head, turned away and closed her eyes. You gotta stop it, Sakura. You're making your friends worry. That's not good.

At nine they finished up with an extra sappy lovey-dovey song. As she left the stage for the last time, she looked around. Sasuke was no where to be found. Sasuke-kun…Sakura whined.

Sakura bumped into Naruto and Hinata as she left. "I hope you had fun, Hinata. You did really well." The other girl smiled and started to walk away. "Walk her home." Sakura ordered Naruto. As she brushed past him, she whispered into his ear something else before going on. Naruto took Hinata out grumbling on about how mean some girls were. Hinata, thinking he meant her, tried to persuade him that he didn't have to take her home.

"No, no, Hinata-chan, it's okay." He groaned. Sakura-chan! You are SOO mean...!

After the dance was over, Sakura helped clear up a bit before they locked it up for the weekend. Done with that, she took the two sleeping cats back to her house and laid them down to sleep. Changing into pj's, Sakura laid on her bed for a half an hour, growing more and more restless as the minutes ticked by. By 10:00 she hopped off her bed and quickly changed into something better suited for outdoors. Keikai and Merodi slowly woke up as Sakura made her way around the room hunting for her other shoe. When she found it she left her room with the cats inside, they were tired after the night they all had.

She didn't want a flashlight, it would ruin her view of the stars. Grabbing a key and a jacket on her way out, she locked the front door and left. After a quick debate with herself, she decided to go back to the park. Her feet pulled her as she craned her neck to look up at the stars above. When she almost ran into a tree, she decided to find someplace to lay down to watch the stars, it'd be safer by far.

After wandering a little and almost falling into a ditch, Sakura found a fine hill in the middle of a clearing. Alright, it was more of a lump in the center of a lot of grass, but there weren't any tall trees around to block the view, so it was nice.

Laying on her jacket, she gazed upwards into the heavens and, in losing herself, she fell asleep.
