Since I got so many reviews I decided to take the time and type this up so that I could post tonight. I'm loving all of you who are pressing the pretty green button, keep it up and I'll keep posting quickly! As always I don't won Naruto or any of Taylor Swift songs. Now on to the much anticipated talent show!
I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you bout to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know its with me
A hand shook my shoulder and I started awake. I looked over to Neji who was the one that shook my shoulder and he nodded toward the stage. I felt my eyes go impossibly wide as I stared at the stage.
A four person band was walking onto the stage. All of them Sasuke recognized. First, there was Gaara who was plugging in a red guitar, then Shikamaru who had a large bass, then Kiba took his place on a drum set. And finally the most beautiful blonde angel took her place on center stage with an acoustic guitar strapped onto her.
I sat transfixed as I took in her appearance. First off her normal, huge glasses were gone, leaving her impossibly blue eyes visible to stare shyly out at the audience. Naru's hair lay straight around her shoulders and face, the light hitting it and making it glow. She had a white whispy dress that fell around her knees. Her entire face and arms were covered in glitter making her shimmer in the stage light. Angelic was the only word that even came close to describing the heavenly being on stage. Sasuke felt his mouth drop open, but quickly closed it as Neji gave him a gentle nudge in the side with his elbow.
She nodded to her band and started to play the intro
"You're on the phone with your girlfriend she's upset,
She's goin' off about something that you said
She doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
She'll never know your story like I do
She wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin bout the day when you wake up to find
That what your looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with
Walking the streets with you and your worn out jeans
Can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughin on a park bench thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy
And 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
Whacha doing with a girl like that
When she wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin bou the day when you wake up to find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you
Waiting at your back door
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me bout your dreams"
*Flash back*
I sat on my bed with my head in my hands. I had just gotten back from the hospital, my brother had been in an accident.
Ding
'Hey Teme, I heard what happened.' I lifted my dark curtain away so I could look out at her.
'You look like shit teme' the next message popped up.
'Thanks dobe' I gave her a mock glare.
'Want to come over? That way you aren't alone in the house?'
I looked up at her and nodded. She nodded back before getting up and leaving her room. I clicked my computer shut and walked down my stairs and out of my unnaturally silent house. The small divider wall was easy to hop after all these years. I smirked lightly when I saw her back door was already opened. I closed it as I walked in. A sound of moving dishes told me that she was in the kitchen. She walked into the hallway with two large bowls of ice cream. She handed me a plain vanilla while she took the chaotic mess of toppings and sauces one for herself. She led the way upstairs toward her room silently.
"Hello Sasuke" her guardian called from downstairs.
"Hello" I called back. Naru laughed before grabbing my hand and dragging me the rest of the way to her room. I couldn't help the smile that pulled at my lips.
I sat on her bed as she turned on her iPod.
I recognized the song immediately as one on my favorites. Satisfied she leapt onto the bed and sat cross legged. She took a huge bite out of her ice cream as I watched her.
Her blond hair was down for once. Her blonde hair and amazingly blue eyes made her tan skinng and dark scars across her cheeks stand out. I smirked as I examined her whiskered cheeks, I had long ago given in and forgotten my pride enough to acknowledge them as cute, if only to myself. Her eyes were covered by her large glasses she never went without. I bit my lip to keep from laughing. I swore they were the same glasses she had when she was little, but they never seemed to get any smaller on her.
"You know, you're always listening to music, and you have all this music stuff," I pointed to the closed door that led to a room connected to her bedroom, I had never actually seen the inside of this room, but she had told me all the things that were in it, "But I have never heard you sing." I mused. To my delight her face went bright red.
It took her a minute to finally say "And you never will." she waved her spoon dramatically in the air to emphasize her point.
I glared at her and she simply stuck her tongue out at me.
"What about that notebook? Can I see that?" I pressed, pointing to her bright orange notebook that she always had close by.
She got an evil look in her eyes as she raised an eyebrow at me, "Only if I can see your sketchbook."
I felt my face go pale. "Fine, keep your damn secrets." I scowled (Ahem...pouting)
I was rewarded by her laughter filling the room. I smiled despite myself.
"Are you atleas going to become famous with them one day?" she finally asked. I felt a smile tug at my face. Only Naru knew about my love for art. It was my best kept secret.
"Maybe someday." we settled into comfortable silence, eating our ice cream peacefully, listening to my favorite songs, she must have set up a play list on her iPod for me.
*End Flashback*
"Think I know where you belong
Think I know its with me"
I couldn't' look away from her. Any slight amount of shyness had disappeared from her as she stood confidentially in her element. The song's pace suddenly and she grabbed the mike with both hands, her eyes sweeping over the audience.
"Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you
Waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me"
Her eyes met mine and widened for a half a second before she regained her composure and began singing again, only now she was singing to me. I stared right back at her and the entire room disappeared.
"You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me"
Well, hows that to end the chapter. Whats going to happen now? I hope you enjoyed the talent show
