Again thanks so much for all the reviews yesterday. Here's the next chapter. Just promise me not to threaten to kill Sasuke in this chapter. All will be explained later! I don't own You Belong to Me or any of the Naruto Characters.
On With the Story!
You've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine I know you better than that
What you doin with a girl like that?
"Hey Naru!" Kiba and Gaara found me in the band room after school. I was sitting on the piano bench. Kiba approached me slowly. "Naru, what's going on lately?" Kiba asked hesitantly.
I blinked at him. "what?"
"You and Sasuke haven't spoken in a week." Gaara emphasized.
"Yeah, and you've been hanging out in here every night since."
I ignored the first comment. "I've been in here working on a new song. In fact I just finished, so if you want to get Shika and hear it we can go to my studio." The technique worked as Kiba swung me around, excited about the prospect of a new song.
"Let's go then." He called.
Gaara looked bored but dialed his phone non the less.
It was close to 6 when practice was finally over and Kiba was beaming.
"I love this one! I think its your best so far!" Kiba gushed happily. Akamaru barked his approval from the dog bed set up in the corner. "And our number one critic agrees!" he anounced.
Shikamaru gave a nod , letting us know that he agreed. Gaara simply gave me a soft smile that told me that he agreed with both of them.
We walked outside to the porch with Kiba still babbling. I couldn't help but smile, that had to be the longest practice we'd ever had. Kiba and Shikamaru waved and walked to their respective cars while Gaara dialed his cell phone, and sat down on the porch swing down.
After he hung up he looked over at me "So,you managed to completely distract Kiba, but are you going to tell me what's going on or not?" he gave me a semi glare to let me know he was serious.
I sighed. "I don't even know."
"Temari said you and Sasuke were fine a week ago," he pressed
"Oh yeah," I grinned that was the day Sasuke and I had gone for our walk. "I don't know what happened though. He's just avoiding me." I shrugged, pretending like it didn't bother me that my best friend on the planet hadn't so much as looked at me in a week.
Gaara snorted, "Whatever" he saw his siblings pull up and walked lazily toward the car. I sighed and walked upstairs.
It had been two weeks, TWO WEEKS! I slammed my curtain shut when I realized Sasuke's curtains were still closed, as they had been for TWO WEEKS. Even when we were arguing he wouldn't ignore me this long. I groaned as I splayed my fingers on my keyboard. It created an atrocious chord and I immediately lifted my fingers and slammed my notebook closed. I couldn't even concentrate on practicing. Not to mention the fact that Sasuke was worrying the hell out of me. It wasn't just that he wasn't talking to me, he was getting paler by day it seemed and I hadn't even seen him smirk once. It was even more infuriating that I couldn't ask him what was wrong. The only time I had managed to catch up to him long enough to actually ask him a question all he had said was "I'm fine." Does he really think I'm that much of an idiot that I can't tell when he's lying to my face?
And besides Sasuke, Kiba had gotten it into his mind that we needed to perform at the talent show tonight!
*flashback*
"Naru, guess what, our school is having a talent show next week. And I signed us up!" Kiba announced as he waltzed into practice the day after I had shown him the new song.
"You did what?" I screeched.
"You heard me, and you're not backing out of it. Its about time the school found out you have pipes." he grinned.
"But...guys!" I looked frantically at my other band members for help.
Gaara simply shrugged while Shikamaru muttered , "Troublesome"
"Ha, I win. It's next Friday!"
*end flashback*
To add to my nightmare Kiba had to talk his girlfriend to having a makeover on me. I heard the tell tale doorbell downstairs and sighed. I heard Jiraiya answer the door and her soft footsteps up the stairs. Then the 'timid' girl entered my room. There was an evil, predatory look in her eyes as she walked toward me with a large duffle bag clutched in her arms. It was going to be a long night.
I'm so sorry this chapter is so short. The next one is much longer though...much much longer actually. If I get enough reviews I'll post the new one today!
Thank you to my reviewers! If you want more I post faster when people press the pretty green button!
