Chapter #7 : With talent came love
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the songs I may use.
Recap
"Saku, do you know any songs by heart that you could sing?" Sakura asked her sister
"Sure why?" Sakumo asked a little curious
"Well today is free choice to us but since your new you'll have to sing one for the teacher so she can evaluate"
"ohhhh, it's no problem then, but I'm not much of a singer" Sakumo said a little nervous
" Oh you'll be fine sis" she smiled at her sister " Speaking of fine, you were saying Sasuke?" Sakura turn to Sasuke to ask, picking up the conversation from before entering the theater like room
"Thank you, I knew you found me fine" he smirked " Anyway my brother is-"
"Sasuke-kun! I didn't know you had this class!" A fangirly voice he knew and hated to well called
Both Sakura and Sasuke looked ahead and saw no other than Haroki and Haraki, one apparently looking for the older Uchiha and the other going straight towards them
" You have got to be kidding me" Both said and hit their foreheads with their hands. This was going to be a long class.
End of re-cap
"I swear there is someone in hell dedicated to make my life miserable" Sakura thought, since she didn't see any point in staying there while Haroki try to rape Sasuke, she made her way to her sit in the theater like chairs.
"Hello Sasuke-kun did you miss me much?" Haroki said with a trying to sound seductive, clinging to his arm and squeezing it between her breasts.
"Someone kill me now" Sasuke thought desperately. He likes this class, because one there are no fan girls and he had Sakura with no interruptions what so ever unless from her friends. Now he had this girl here he didn't even know she went to this school. Then something popped in his mind. " Umm Haroki, can you please let me go my girlfriend is waiting for me in our sits" He finally was able to free himself from the girl and sat in the middle of Sakumo and Sakura.
"Well this is a record, you freed yourself quickly" Sakura said teasingly
"I do have a girlfriend that should start acting like it!" Sasuke whispered to her, Sakura blinked a few times and in downed on her
"Ohhhhhh~ I was supposed to help you? I'm sorry I haven't read my How to be a fake girlfriend manual yet" Sakura said sarcastically smiling at him. He chuckled at her antics and just started listening to their music teacher Anko…. I know she's nuts.
"OK NOW MAGGOTS, SEATTLE DOWN HE HAVE 3 NEW STUDENTS TODAY" She said in a sergeant kinda way. The thing is she always acted as if she was on the military and yet when she heard the right notes and right music she became this deep sentimentalist….she freaks us all out don't worry.
"THIS 3 STUDENTS THINK THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO STAY IN THIS CLASS" She looked at all her seated students from the stage " BUT! Can they pass my audition?" She asked to no one in particular and took out her attendance list. Sakura looked at Sakumo noticing she was twisting a piece of paper and noticed the fright in her eyes. Sakumo seemed to feel her gazed and looked at her sister. Sakura gave her a reassuring smile and mouthed a "you'll do fine good luck" and that seemed to calm her down.
"Before I start we the three auditions I want to introduce you to the assistant I've been assigned to take care of you while I'm not here; he is a valuable asset to this wonderful Performing arts class"
Sasuke slouched in his sit and covered his face with his hand "please kill me now" Sakura looked at him puzzled so did Sakumo.
"Please give a warm welcome to Uchiha Itachi-san" She motioned to her right and Itachi appeared with a slight smirk on his face
" Noooooo~" She said in disbelieve, surprised and happily at the same time " Your bro is the teacher? Waow Ita-chan really surprised me this time" Sakura laughed a bit at Sasuke's this is hell face. On the other hand Sakumo looked shocked and nervous. How was she supposed to do her audition now?
"Thank you, I look forward to work with all of you I'm sure you're all very talented" Itachi spoke professionally hearing a squeal from Haraki. Anko blinked a bit in distaste and shook her head.
"Now that that's over, let's go to the audition of the new students first up would beeeeee Fumihiko Haraki" Looking to see if she's present
"Here!" she stood up in a rather scandalous way. Why scandalous you ask? Well, she went all the way from her seat running (or as much as you can run on high heels) and giggling all the way not to the stage but to Itachi. Who was horrified that she was there but if you don't know him as much as Sasuke and Sakura you would have never known. Anko annoyed by the situation…
"Go to your place on the stage now!" Anko was pretty aggravated "What song would you perform?" Haraki got thoughtful for a minute …. Waow she's capable of thought and then jumped slightly.
"FRIDAY!" She said and the pianist looking at her weird started to play.
I will save you the details of how horrible it was. I was sure that if the was ever a whale in pain with its mouth full of fish and out of water….that's how Haraki sounded like. When she finished everyone looked at the stage, Haraki had a huge smile as if she was the next Kelly Clarkson. Anko, returning to her faculties (and closing her mouth) continued.
"uhhh thank you for having an interest in our class sadly you won't be in it" Anko said and the class cheered. Sakura laughed her ass off internally of course; she had a reputation for being serious when it comes to performing. Haraki went down the stage muttering it's not fair and other incoherent stuff " Okay next is…another Fumihiko, Haroki please on the stage" Anko had a slight helpless tone. Waow Haraki had left her that bad huh? Haroki went up to the stage stood the for about 5 minutes looking at her nails, Anko looked at her weirdly "When ever you're ready" Anko seriously was getting in patient
"Oh I can't sing" she shook her head looking at Anko, every one sweat dropped
"Why did you pick this class then?" Anko asked annoyed
" Oh that's easy, I knew Sasuke-kun would be taking this class " Anko slapped her hand on her forehead
"Get out!"
"Stingy stingy" Haroki walked off the stage.
"Haruno, Sakumo" Anko said in resignation, that made Sakumo jump "Well? Are you here?" Sakura looked at her sister
" H-Hai!" Sakumo stood up a bit frighten and stood on the stage, seeing Sakura giving her a smile and thumbs up. Sakumo smiled back and took a deep breath. "Ano Sensei would you prefer Japanesse or English?" Anko surprised by her question
"You can do both if you want" Anko Said a bit hopeful, Itachi was looking at Sakumo intently. Sakumo talked to the pianist for a bit and decided she'd go with Japanese. The piano started playing and Sakumo closed her eyes and took a deep breath. (listen to Dear you from Higurashi no naku koro ni)
Anata wa ima doko de nani wo shite imasu ka? (Where are you and what exactly are you doing ri-ght now?)

Itsumo no you ni egao de ite kuremasu ka? (When I find you will you smile for me like you have always done?)
Ima wa tada sore wo negai tsuzukeru. (That is my wish, my desire that I hold in my heart.)
Sakumo let a heavy sigh escaped her lips and she opened her eyes to see gaping faces and Anko's surprise and tears in the corner of her eyes. Itachi was looking at her like she had grown a second head.
"Wa-was it that bad?" Sakumo said a bit worried and everyone just stayed silent, Anko out of her shock asked
"Could you please sing one in English? I want to see how you manage" Sakumo nodded slightly, her cheeks a bit pink as she went to the pianist again.
On the other side, Sakura had her mouth slightly open. She didn't know her sister could sing like that.
"So you're both talented, I guess I have to admit Sakumo is a bit better than you" Sasuke Smirk at her annoyed face
"Shut your-" Sakura looked behind Sasuke's head to see a fuming Haroki intently watching each of their movement "Sweetie can we have a date tonight, I've miss you so deeply" Sakura pouted cutely, Sasuke looked at her weird
"uhh sure?" Sasuke said unsure what was happening
" Mou Sasuke-kun you meanie say it like you mean it" Sakura had to hold her laughter at Haroki's face, I just need one word… PRICELESS. Sasuke seemed to catch on and put his arm around her.
"I'm sorry, I'll make it up on our date. And maybe have a little extra fun after" Sasuke said and kissed her cheek Sakura giggled
"oh stop it you" Haroki angered being an understatement left Haraki quickly following . "That was fun and too easy"
"Told you being my girlfriend was a gain itself" Sasuke said smirking
"Oh yes I'm dying just to have you faking being my love" Said sarcastically, the looked at his arm "She's gone you can take your arm back"
"I know" Sasuke said looking at the stage
"Why haven't you?"
"I'm pretty comfortable" Sasuke looked at her with a half smile and not just any smile that smile that drove Sakura to her limit. She had trouble looking elsewhere…
"My sister's singing" she quickly looked at the stage not daring even glance at the Uchiha beside her. She was falling she couldn't believe it, and she already kissed him once so she can't say it meant nothing. Sakura decided to leave all that aside and hear her sister sing again
This time Sakumo stood by the piano looking at the music sheet, and the song started to play.
There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.
So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.
I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
Itachi just stared. She really had a beautiful voice, just like her he thought. Just then everyone stood up and cheered at her wonderful performance. Anko being as sentimental as ever she went to Sakumo and clapped all the way until she got there and said…
"You are more than fit to be in these class welcome to the performing arts class" She smiled and Sakumo was overjoyed nodded thanks with a smile on her face and went back to her seat happily.
"Congrats sis" Sakura smiled, her twin sister smile back but gave her a questioning look, glancing at Sasuke's arm around her. Sakura waved it off.
"Well now, I have a surprise ….we are not going to do our free choice songs" People groaned "instead Itachi-san gave me the idea of having duos and hand out randomly sheets and whoever gets the same do the duos together" *she took out the sheets of music "so on a line, you have five minutes to study it to see how your first view reading is doing" Everyone got up and took a sheet of paper. "You can't tell look for your pair yet and our assistant here will take this since there's no one else and we're short by one" giving the sheet to itachi.
"Okay, then first song is Hate that I love you" They heard Anko say, it went like that for a while, they sang On the line, All night long and so on until…
"I see the light" She finally said. Sakumo stood up to make her way to the stage and waited for the person she was suppose to sing with just as she was about to ask Itachi stood next to her a half smirk on his features.
"You're singing with me, I guess its destiny" He said jokingly.
"Or that you changed with the original person that was supposed to sing with me" She smirks slightly knowingly Itachi sweat dropped. How did she know? he thought.
"Okay start" And seconds after the command the piano started.
Sakumo:
All those days
Watching from the windows
All those years
Outside looking in
All that time
Never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here
Blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here
Suddenly I see
Standing here
It's oh, so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last, I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything looks different
Now that I see you
"Does Itachi sing at all?" Sakura whispered Sasuke who shrugged.
Itachi:
All those days
Chasing down a daydream
All those years
Living in a blur
All that time
Never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she's here
Shining in the starlight
Now she's here
Suddenly I know
If she's here
It's crystal clear
I'm where I meant to go
Itachi/Sakumo:
And at last, I see the light
Itachi:
And it's like the fog has lifted (he smiled at her and caressed her cheek, that was now rosy pink)
Itachi/Sakumo:
And at last, I see the light
Sakumo:
And it's like the sky is new
Itachi/Sakumo:
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I… see you.
And the piano faded away every one clapped but they didn't move they just stared at each other for what seemed an eternity, but it only had been minutes the first to look away was Sakumo going back to her seat and Itachi just stood there.
"A wonderful performance Uchiha-san" Anko said breaking him out of his trance and he went back to his seat "now next is ….We'll be a dream" At that Sakura stood up and so did another guy from the class "alright! Let it begin!"
" Where's the guitar?... Oh here it is" Sakura said talking to herself, Sasuke chuckled at her antics.
" Have you heard the song" She asked the guy standing next to her.
" Oh yeah, Thousand times… I'm Kyo by the way" He smiled
" Sakura" she smiled right back and started playing the guitar.
[Kyo]
Do you remember the nights
We'd stay up just laughing
Smiling for hours
At anything
Remember the nights
We drove around crazy in love
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream
[Sakura]
Do you remember the nights
We made our way dreaming
Hoping of being
Someone big
We were so young then
We were too crazy
In love
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream
Kyo
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
both
Whoa whoa
kyo(sakura)
When the lights go out
(And when the lights go out)
We'll be safe and sound
(We'll be safe and sound)
both
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be
(And we'll be)
When the lights go out
(when the light go out)
We'll be safe and sound
both
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream
As the song finished, their class mates clapped and cheered. Sakura Put the guitar in its place and was about to walk off when Kyo stopped her.
"Hey Sakura" He said a bit nervous.
"Oh hey, what s up?" She said looking at him. He shook his head and put his hands on his pocket.
"I was wondering if we could hang out sometime" He asked her. And Anko had just called the next pair that would sing The start of something new.
" Oh uhh…" Sakura thought for a second, and she thought about Sasuke…then again that was just a fake, hanging out with a guy sometime wouldn't do much harm…right?
"It's okay if you don't want to Sakura" He said about to walk away.
"We can hang out sometime" Just as those words left Sakura's mouth Sasuke was getting on the stage. Kyo smiled.
"See you later then" Kyo said going back to his seat
"Sure" She turned to look at Sasuke who was just staring at her. She walked passed by him "Brake a leg"
Sasuke stood there for a moment, but went to the stage non the less, the girl who was going to sing with him was there already smiling at him.
" I'm Miyuki, it's nice to sing with you Sasuke-san" He nodded
"Well if it isn't my star pupil! Why did you take a break from stardom and come back here?" Anko said smiling at the boy she had taught how to manage and use his voice.
"I think I lost my center, I'm just trying to remember what it is…" Sasuke simply said. Itachi frowned knowing that was just a lie.
"Okay then, show me what I taught you and I'll tell you if you really lost your center" Anko sat back and waited for him to sing. Sasuke nodded.
(Sasuke)
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
anything can happen
When you take a chance
(Miyuki)
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
(both)
I know
something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
(Sasuke)
Now who'd of ever thought that
(both)
We'd both be here tonight?
(Miyuki)
And the world looks so much brighter
(both)
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
(Miyuki)
I know it for real
(both)
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
(Sasuke)
I never knew that it could happen Till it happened to me
(Miyuki)
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
(both)
It's a start Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
That it's the start Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
The start of something new
The start of something new
Sasuke closed his eyes and looked at the floor. He was lying about losing his center but apparently it wasn't entirely a lie, he had been way off.
"Well, I hope you can find it soon… Next time you can pick your pair until you find someone you'll confortable with" Anko said wanting to help him. Sasuke smirked.
"Actually Anko I have an idea who could fit those requirements" He said as a matter of fact.
"Oh is that so, bring her to the stage then" Anko said giving him a second chance. Miyuki stood there ignored, she simply took her leave to her sit and glared at the stage. Sasuke smirked at Sakura who got the messege and she sighed and stood up walking to the stage.
" Sakura, well you couldn't have picked a better girl right now she's one of the top in my class and the most extroverted too" Anko said
" Thank you" Sakura said to Anko and looked at Sasuke. "So, what are we doing?"
" I have two choices for you but …I want to play the guitar so just follow I think it's one of your top 5 in your ipod" Sasuke said and took the guitar.
" I lost my ipod" She said looking at him accusingly.
"No you didn't, you left it in my car and never asked for it back"
"You know that's almost as bad as Reading a girls diary" Sakura said
" I can live with that" He smirked and started playing seeing Sakura quickly caught on. (two is better than one – boys like girls ft. taylor swift)
(Sasuke)
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought hey
You know, this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
(Sakura joined in)
So maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
(Sakura)
I remember every look upon your face
(Sasuke)
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
(both)
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
Then maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
(Sasuke)
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey (hey, hey)
(both)
Maybe it's true that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking, ooh, I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one, two is better than one
Sasuke smiled at Sakura, a real smile, a sweet smile. And she couldn't help but smile back at him.
"That is marvelous! I like you two singing, so in harmony. You'll be partners for the year" Anko finished "Well that is our class for today, and free selection will be next week also bring me a piece of a musical, which ever you like and we'll practice it next week, Have a nice day Maggots" and she left.
" I guess we're partners" Sasuke said
" I guess we are, by the way that was a whole lot better than earlier. The song wasn't really you anyway" She laughed a bit.
" Or maybe you just made the difference.." He put the guitar in its place and left a stunned Sakura on the stage.
"What does that mean?" She thought to herself, maybe she was just over thinking it.
"By the way" She broke away from her thoughts looking at the retreating Sasuke. " I'm not giving you your ipod back" And he ran off.
"WHAT?! Give it back!" And she ran out after him. Unknown to them, a black haired boy was watching them.
"Sakura…" He whispered before going to the principal's office.
Hi! I finally updated! I'm sorry for the wait. But I've had a hard time at college and I can barely write anything besides homework. Plus logic class had no logic -.-
