Hey everyone! Thanks to all the people who reviewed on the last chapter, I REALLY appreciated it.
If you find time to read this story, then you have the time to make a short review.
Summary:"Why is he biting Hina?" Deidara turned to him with an evil smile and started to whisper exactly why. Tobi turned with a look of horror to his other sempai who was too busy trying to pry off Sasuke from Hinata again.

Chapter 8 enjoy!
Previously on Black and White Puzzle Pieces:
AND LOOOOOK ME IN THE EEYEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
The singers let out a rocking shriek and the crowd just exploded with mad applause.
"Looks like we have some competition," Sasori said to Hinata as the band entered backstage. "That was the Dark Iris with their new hit single Look Me in the Eyes! Now it's time for…."
The keyboardist remarked to the guitarist. "That wasn't a bad solo, for a Kazekage." This earned him a sour glare.
"Nice job, yeah!" Deidara said in mad props to the Dark Iris. The Dark Iris stepped into the light of backstage and both Hinata and Sasori gave a gasp at the faces of the performers. "Gaara-san, Sasuke-kun?"
"I never expected your girlfriend would be here Otooto-chan." The drummer smirked to the keyboardist.
Presently:
"Great to see you here." Sasuke grinned devilishly as he took Hinata by the waist. Hinata gasped in surprise and turned bright red as Sasuke started planting kisses in a line from her neck moving up to her face. "Sempai," Tobi said innocently through his mask. "Why is he biting Hina?" Deidara turned to him with an evil smile on his face and started to whisper exactly why to him. Tobi turned with a look of horror and a half-choked sound to his other sempai who was too busy trying to pry off Sasuke once again from Hinata while the other members of Dark Iris smirked at them – Itachi, and looked plain disgusted—Gaara.
"Sasuke-kun," Hinata said in an attempt to get more space. "Yes my Hinata?" Sasuke said so compromisingly that Hinata almost wanted him to kiss her again. "Um, I have to go on now." She tried to say over Hidan's yelling through Sasori's earpiece that they 'get their sorry asses on stage before he gets over their himself and kicks them in their *static* and brings their *static* *static* to the bottom of the sea and asks Kazuku to sell all their stuff on e-bay for *static* and hope that it gives them a whole lot of shit in hell' which Sasori quickly answered with his own quirky remark and Hinata tried to stop.
"Hidan-san we're going on already, don't worry about it." She then turned to Sasori, who was glaring at Sasuke. "Nii-chan, we have to go on now." She said as Dei and Tobi went on to announce their arrival and prep up the crowd.
"THE AKATSUKI HAS ARRIVED 'un!" Dei said taking as he slid in with his guitar. The crowd let out a scream as Sasori did a back flip for his entrance, and Tobi and Hinata came up from under the stage. Smoke effects and the dimming of the lights changed the atmosphere in seconds and the crowd fell silent. There was a slow guitar solo as Sasori sang clear and strong in his melodic voice.
Time has gone, days passed
Why do we hesitate, jump into the next day
Stand up make it last
Because there's no other way
The drums started up and the other guitars kept pushing at the slow melody, until finally something had to give and Deidara let out a shriek.
Life's too short to hang around
So make the most 'cause we ain't coming back
If you think I'm gonna turn around
Because of you and your crap
You got another thing coming
Now let's move on running
Hinata sang the second verse and many wooed at her sweet voice transformed into the rocker's that she had inside.
What are you still doing there?
I'm already gone
Why wait home alone?
When I've already found the one
The whole group joined in for the chorus as it came to a standstill end, blasting the ears of everyone in range.
'Cause life's too short to hang around
And this is just a waste of time
And I won't turn around
For the empty house that was mine
I've got to keep moving forward
And I'll always love you babe
But you and I both know
That we went our separate ways
Yeah!
That we went to a different place
So come on DON'T WAIT!
Silence.
The crowd exploded with all it had and it was even more deafening than the rockers. "AKATSUKI! AKATSUKI!" They started to chant as Hinata led the next song with a clapping beat for everyone to follow.
More songs followed that and concert lasted until quarter to ten, Hiashi wouldn't let Hinata out too late on her first concert after a while. Afterwards, the other Akatsuki met the band with Hiashi, Mikoto, and Dark Iris. "Great show, you really brought the house down." Hiashi said patting Sasori's back and ruffling Hinata's hair.
"Arigatou Oto-san."
"Arigato Oji-san."
Hidan laughed hard. "No seriously, your fans got so excited that they tore down the halls." Sasuke was eavesdropping and raised his eyebrow. Kazuku chimed in smiling— I think. "But it was a full house, and we gave them such good business that they didn't charge us anything." Deidara ran over to them with Tobi. "This is so great 'un! Kisa-kisa just found his old classmate from college." Tobi added. "And Tobi was a good boy today!" Everyone had to roll their eyes. "But it's really cute too." Hinata said as she and Konan couldn't resist giving him a hug. "How was tonight?" Pein asked Sasori as it was customary every night there was a show. "All clear." Sasori said grinning.
Hiashi coughed to get attention. "Why don't we all head back to the manor and I'll introduce you to some friends of mine." Sasori growled at the mention of said friends and Hinata couldn't help but giggle.
Everyone went to their separate cars/limousines and made their way back to the manor, by the time Hinata got there it was half past ten and her father was already waiting with his guests. Sasori and Deidara kept close to her in their usual formation with Sasori to the front on her right and Deidara on her left. Tobi covered her back and the rest of the Akatsuki were somewhere with her father.
"Oto-san we're home." Hinata said as her father came out into the hall to greet them; behind him she could clearly see three heads of black hair and one fiery red one. "How was tonight? Exciting enough after being cooped up in the house for so long?" He inquired; taking her by the shoulder as he thoroughly messed up her ponytail in an extreme head rub. Hinata laughed like a child as they got to the living room where three Uchihas one Gaara and one very pissed off I-can't-believe-I'm-missing-my-date-for-this-creep-sasuGAY Neji were waiting. "Nii-san how was your date?" Hinata asked politely, taking a seat next to her boiling cousin, who was just like a jelly donut fresh from the microwave, cold on the outside, but burning hot with fury on the inside. Or maybe that's just Neji; donuts don't burn with fury on the inside. Across them on the next sofa, Kisame-niichan was sitting with the drummer of Dark Iris chatting amiably, and on one end of the sofa, cursing all fate for making them sit together was Sasuke and Gaara. The other Akatsuki stood around the room.
Hiashi came in with a woman who had a very strong resemblance to both Sasuke and the drummer. Hinata and Neji stood abruptly as they entered, as was the Hyuuga breeding, and when no one else stood up they turned bright red, and continued to stand until Hiashi asked them to sit. "My, my Hiashi, your children certainly know what to do." Mikoto said giggling. Sasuke sat up from his sulking in disbelief. My mother, giggling like a child, no way! He looked at Hinata, but she seemed to smile in a way that suggested her father did this to everyone.
"Well let's have an introduction now, shall we?" Hiashi said as he and Mikoto took a seat across one another on the well furnished wooden chairs. "To my left is my beautiful little girl, who is not so little anymore, Hinata." Hinata got uncomfortable with the stares from Gaara and the drummer, so she looked over at Pein, who was studying the guests very closely. "Next to her is her cousin Neji." Neji glared back. "And in across me is Uchiha Mikoto." Mikoto stood up and sat down again. "Over there are her two sons, Itachi and Sasuke." Both gave blank stares. "And the one over there is…" He furrowed his brow as he looked at Gaara. "Sabaku no Gaara." Gaara said slowly, trailing on the A's in his name. "Oh yes!" Hiashi said suddenly. "I'm sorry, I think my memory is failing me." Gaara just nodded.
"And the nice boys around us are the Akatsuki." He said gesturing to everyone else in the room. "The one with red hair is Akasuna no Sasori, and the one next to the vase is Pein, beside him is his wife Konan, sitting next to Itachi is Hoshigaki Kisame, behind Sasori are Deidara and Tobi, and on the other side of the room looking pissed are Hidan and Kazuku." Sasori applauded at the long introduction and faced Kisame. "So Kisa, is this the guy you lost to in strip poker while you were dru—" Kisame put his hand over Sasori's mouth as Sasuke made a smart ass remark about his brother. "So Itachi did you have a liking for men when you were in college?" Itachi looked at him coldly and answered flatly. "I should have you know I have no issues with my sexual desires." Sasuke just grinned smugly as he set his next remark. "And I suppose you're referring to your college buddy here?" Sasori burst into a fit of laughter as chaos decided to pay a visit and take a seat to watch the show. Kisame tried to hit him on the head, but he ducked just in time as Hinata tried to stop it. Neji stood up in an attempt to protect Hinata as the other Akatsuki scrambled to their weapons. Sasuke tried to grab to Hinata as well, and Itachi and Gaara sat laughing their heads off as Hiashi and Mikoto tripped over each other trying to get to their children and they ended up a tangled mass of bodies on the ground as the clock struck eleven.
Hiashi was the first to recover after the Akatsuki. "Well, since it's getting late, why don't you stay here for the night, or maybe the day." He said chuckling as he picked himself up. "I'm sure that's fine with you Miko?" Mikoto looked like she would say something against it, but the look on her friend's face told her there was no getting out of his kindness today. She heaved a sigh. "Alright, you win Hiashi." She turned to the three in her charge. "Did you hear that Sasuke-chan," Sasori snickered and Neji smirked. "Ita-chan?" Kisame looked away to hide his smile. "And I hope your sister doesn't mind you staying over Gaara-san?" Gaara recovered from his laughter and looked at her plainly. "No, Temari wouldn't mind," Mikoto said she would call her but Gaara quickly added. "No need Uchiha-san, my sister's busy, she has her boyfriend over tonight anyway, and she really wouldn't care." Mikoto mumbled something about 'kids these days' and Hiashi joked about getting old.
"Neji, why don't you show them the guest room for tonight then, there aren't any classes tomorrow, it's Sunday, thanks a lot, and Hinata, go show Miko the upstairs guestroom, I think the extra one downstairs is still renovating."
"Hai, Oto-san."
"Hai, Oji-sama."
On her way out, Mikoto couldn't help but say: "Seriously Hiashi, how do you get them to do that? I can't get my children to say two words to me, and here you are with two perfect ones." Hiashi laughed and wished everyone a good night.
"This way please, Uchiha-san." Hinata said as she led the way, Sasori close behind. Mikoto decided it was a good time to strike up a conversation. "So Hinata-san, what do you think of my sons?" Hinata was caught by surprise and Sasori sensed something fishy going on. "W-well I think they're very sweet and care about you very much, Uchiha-san." Mikoto gave a hollow laugh that chilled Hinata. "No need to be formal, call me Mikoto, and you're wrong, the second my sons get married, they're going to throw me out like stale bread." Hinata went pale. "They couldn't be so cruel!" Mikoto smiled ironically and leaned in. "Well I guess it's my fault, I raised them after all, but in truth I'm counting on whoever their wives will be to take care of that." Hinata tried to be polite. "Whoever they are, I hope they do, parents give children their all, and children should always be grateful, no matter how old they are."
Mikoto gave a sinister smile, because that was exactly what she wanted to hear.
Well here you go!
