Chapter 24

Lazy Song

Ino sat quietly in the auditorium going through some music sheets. She had been almost all night working on song for Naruto and Hinata.

She knew what had happened. She understood them both but she was certain that they were both wrong.

Wrong for being mad at each other.

She was determine to make things better. She owe it to them. Hinata had been for her when Shikamaru and her broke up and Naruto was the one who helped her see afar from what she was looking.

"Ino?" She heard her boyfriend call for her as the front door opened. She looked up and smiled when she saw all of her friend enter behind her man. She stood on her feet and greeted the lazy boy with open arms.

"Do you guys have the songs?" Ino asked and they all nod. "Good. Who's first?"

"Actually Me and Choji have one together" Kiba said.

"Go on then" Ino smiled, pushing both boys onto the empty stage. They all took a sit near the stage and watch as they prepared themselves.

"The song is called Dear Agony" Kiba said as he took a guitar that laid in one of the sides while Choji sat on the drums on the back.

Kiba: I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven's arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began

And I will find the enemy whithin
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Both: Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Dear Agony

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Choji: Suddenly
The lights go out
Let forever
Drag me down
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until the end

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me

Kiba: Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Leave me alone
God let me go
I'm blue and cold
Black sky will burn
Love pull me down
Hate lift me up
Just turn around
There's nothing left

Somewhere far beyond this world
I feel nothing anymore

Both: Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

I feel nothing anymore

Kiba smiled as they applauded. "Thanks guys" He said making a peace sign.

"Good job guys!" Ino said cheerfully. "Whose up next?"

"I'll go" Shikamaru said boredly taking them all by surprise.

"Did Shikamaru just ask to go?" Naruto asked, but everyone was to in shock to answer.

Shikamaru stood in front of the mike, his eyes barely open as he looked at the great beyond.

Shikamaru: Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)

Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

"Thank you" Shikamaru said as soon as the song ended.

"So much for that" Sakura said making Ino slightly giggle. "At least he stood"

"That's for sure" Sakura laughed. "Me and Sasuke are next"

"Go ahead" Ino said smiling at the now sitting Shikamaru.

Sakura and Sasuke stood and took Shikamaru's place. "Our song is called If it means a lot to you"

Sasuke: Hey darling, I hope you're good tonight
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by
'Cause I can't come back home 'til they're singin'

La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singin'

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La la la)
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
It might be for the best

Sakura: Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving
Yeah, you want it but I can't help it
I just feel complete when you're by my side
But I know you can't come home 'til they're singin'

La, la la la, la la la

Sasuke: 'Til everyone is singin'
La, la la la, la la la

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La la la)
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past
It might be for the best

Sakura: You know you can't give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can wait through everything

Sasuke: Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again
And don't you dare say we can just be friends
I'm not some boy that you can sway

Both: We knew it'd happen eventually

La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
(If you can wait 'til I get home)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'
(Then I swear we can make this last)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'

If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear we can make this last

"Very good you guys!" Ino cheered once again while Sasuke and Sakura kissed. Then Ino turned to the two remaining and smirked at them.

"Come on you two… get up there" She said.

"We're not singing together" Both Naruto and Hinata yelled at the same time.

"Oh yes you are. Unlike the rest you had your solos yesterday, so today you get to sing together" She said. Hinata opened her mouth to yell at Ino one more time but Ino sushed her quickly. "And I don't care about your problems with each other, this about the group and right now you guys are the perfect duet and I need to hear you sing so I can be sure everything is ok. Got it?" Ino said, her eyes glaring right into their souls.

"Fine" They both said whilst they made their way to the stage once again.

"What are you doing Ino?" Sakura asked.

"Trust me will you?" Ino said. "You guys know the song broken?" Ino asked.

"Yes" They both nodded.

"Ok then. Begin"

Naruto: I WANTED YOU TO KNOW I LOVE THE WAY YOU LAUGH
I WANNA HOLD YOU HIGH AND STEAL YOUR PAIN AWAY
I KEEP YOUR PHOTOGRAPH AND I KNOW IT SERVES ME WELL
I WANNA HOLD YOU HIGH AND STEAL YOUR PAIN

Both: CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM LONESOME
AND I DONT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOURE GONE AWAY

YOUVE GONE AWAY, YOU DONT FEEL ME, ANYMORE

Their voices unify and their eyes met, it was like something inside them was instantly clicking but memories rushed back and they each looked away.

Hinata: THE WORST IS OVER NOW AND WE CAN BREATHE AGAIN
I WANNA HOLD YOU HIGH, YOU STEAL MY PAIN AWAY
THERES SO MUCH LEFT TO LEARN, AND NO ONE LEFT TO FIGHT
I WANNA HOLD YOU HIGH AND STEAL YOUR PAIN

Both: CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM OPEN
AND I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM STRONG ENOUGH
CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM LONESOME
AND I DONT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOURE GONE AWAY

CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM OPEN
AND I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM STRONG ENOUGH
CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM LONESOME
AND I DONT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOURE GONE AWAY

CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM OPEN
AND I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM STRONG ENOUGH
CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM LONESOME
AND I DONT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOURE GONE AWAY

CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM OPEN
AND I DONT FEEL LIKE I AM STRONG ENOUGH
CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM LONESOME
AND I DONT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOURE GONE AWAY

CAUSE IM BROKEN WHEN IM LONESOME
AND I DONT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOURE GONE AWAY

YOUVE GONE AWAY
YOU DONT FEEL ME HERE ANYMORE

"Good, Good, Good. Looks like we're ready" Ino said clapping her hands together once again. "I'll see you all tomorrow" Ino said before walking away along with Shikamaru.

"Come on Sasuke, we're late for math" Sakura yelled, as she ran along Kiba, Sai and Choji. Naruto and Hinata were left alone but neither said nothing.

Just by singing together they felt something, but it was like everything was starting again.

They were so afraid that none said a word, that it was kept secret.
