[Spoken]

Mayday!Mayday! The ships going down.

And as your captain, I'm ready to drown.

This necklace that you've got wrapped around my neck,

Will choke me slowly to my death,

And I'm into that(Whoa Oh)

~"Tentacles" Ghost Town

After letting Suigetsu deal with the annoying interferences, Sasuke walked over them uncaring, as Neji and Karin followed close behind. Ignoring the sounds of the scuffle behind him, Sasuke walked over to his older brother, while his eyes found and caught the eyes of the fox on the way to the settle. "Aniki. Sorry for them," nodding toward the two girls rolling on the ground trying to get away from the slightly blue haired boy. Itachi just nodded, accepting his younger brothers apology and turned toward the band. "Otouto, please have yourself and your friends take a seat." Once everyone was seated, Itachi began the introductions, "Sasuke, Neji, Karin, Suigetsu, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino, this is Naruto, Kiba, Gaara and Shikamaru, Ghost City." Turning to the band, he indicated to Sasuke, "As you can tell this is my younger brother."

"Wow, that's so cool! You guys look crazy alike in your superiority, but at the same time completely different." Naruto exclaimed, almost rising from his chair in surprise, if it wasn't for Gaara who was beside him and grabbed the fox's arm, holding him down. Turning towards Gaara, the blond asked "Do you think they're completely different in personalities too,like how fraternal twins are?". Gaara just raised a nonexistent eyebrow,"Well if you want to know, why don't you just ask?" Looking as if the thought had never occurred to him, the blond looked towards the brothers expectively.

Feeling perplexed about the blonds random change in attitude, the raven just looked at his brother and gave him a subtle face that said 'don't even think of it, he's mine.' Itachi nodded leaving it to his otouto, Sasuke looked right at the blond fox, "Well if you want to know, then I'm inclined to answer, but first off I'll only tell you," and stood up waiting for the blond. The fox smiled widely at the prospect learning something new and interesting, and jumped up to follow the raven. Leading the blond to a love seat in the darkest part across the room from the others, he waved his arm to the seat indicating for the blond to sit first. Sitting down close to the blond so that their conversation wouldn't be overheard, and because he wanted to, the raven smirked in anticipation.

The blond just smiled at the ravens obvious amusement and asked, shrugging, "Did you actually plan on telling me or was that your way of getting me alone with you?"

The ravens slightly raised eyebrows and the slight widening of his eyes was the only indication that Sasuke was surprised. 'He's observant,' the raven thought, while laughing on the inside at the little fox's acting game. "Do you actually want to know or did you have the same reason?"

Laughing at how the raven seemed to answer his questions with other questions, the blond answered "I do want to know, but I may have had dual purposes when agreeing so easily." Sasuke couldn't help himself and slid closer to the fox so he could slip his arm around the rockers shoulders. "How about I tell you what you want to know then you tell me a bit about yourself, besides your name and that your in a band." When the fox nodded, accepting the terms, Sasuke continued, while running his fingers softly on the fabric of the fox's shirt that had been tempting him all night. "Well me and my brother are alike beyond looks, but its mostly just in the family Uchiha business way. Besides that we have some stuff in common, but Itachi is more calm about things whereas I tend to think but not as deeply as him and sometimes will get angry easier if its regarding a person close to me." Pointed looking at the fox, giving him a warning and a subtle hint, "So now that I've answered that, tell me about yourself."

-O00o00O-

Feeling happy for the attention and aching to be with the raven longer, Naruto just smiled widely but reminded himself 'Got to keep your cool, so to not scare away this hot man and don't be weird'. "Okeei dokeei. Well I was raised in the business," at the ravens raised eyebrow Naruto elaborated, "My grandparents own the music company we sing for and since my parents were in it and met from music, they decided that even if I couldn't sing I could dance or play an instrument...Whatever. So when they discovered I could sing, and do it well, they asked if I wanted to do it. By that time, I had already been in tones of dancing and music lessons, so the business was all I knew by then, so I saw no point in dismissing it, and I wanted to, so that made it easier. And so the start of my career." Holding his breath for the ravens reaction to his water downed version of his 'beginning'. Naruto felt nervous for the first time, never having been in a relationship before had the fox at a slight disadvantage and feeling kind of weird of how to treat the raven 'to make his feelings obvious or not'. Pondering this Naruto almost missed the ravens answer.

"So how old were you when you started professionally singing?"

"Well-" Naruto began.

"Sasuke-kun!" An annoying voice screeched, startling both Sasuke and Naruto. "Why are you all the way over here?" The bubblegum haired girl launched herself on the back of the couch, unheeding to the fact that Naruto was there, or just not caring, Naruto wasn't sure which.

Sasuke glared at her, the blond almost commemorated the pink girl or her bravery, cause anyone would have shrivelled and died in the epicentre of that glare. But the blond was annoyed that this girl was interrupting his time with Sasuke, so he didn't.

"Sakura as you can obviously see I am talking to Naru here, so I would rather you either step away now or I'll make you." Sasuke's threat, cause that was what it clearly was, left no room for suggestion and demanded for obedience.

Sakura paled a bit, but seemed to ignore his advice, as if used to it, and turned to Naruto. "What are you doing here all alone with MY Sasuke-kun?"

As Sasuke was about to answer her, his incredulous look saying all his disbelief at her audacity, Naruto raised his hand to silence him. "Your Sasuke-kun?" Naruto raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure? Since if he was yours than he wouldn't be sitting with me in the first place, now would he? So maybe you should rethink that statement." all said with a kind smile in her direction.

Her jaw dropped and she looked lost for a moment, making the fox almost feel bad for her. Sasuke smirked, amusement clear in his eyes, "If that was all you needed to know Sakura, then I suggest you leave." Looking like she was about to say something, Sasuke stopped her with a finger. "Get it through your head, I don't want you, I never will and your annoying me, so go." Sakura looked as though she was about to cry, then fury filled her expression and she turned to Naruto and glared hatefully at him and stomped off to the group. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn, was all Naruto thought to himself as she left.

The raven turned back to Naruto after saying his piece, not even looking for if she left. "So where were we?"

The fox smiled widely at the raven, laughing softly as he shook his head. "Moving on then?" At the ravens nod Naruto spoke. "Good. So, at first I had singing lessons to strengthen my voice. Though so as to keep my 'talent' a secret my mom trained me and then I had my first performance when I was 9."

"Hn. So how did you and the band get together?"

"Hmm-" before Naruto could answer the door to the lounge swung open. Sasuke quickly swung around to look at the people in the doorway with a lethal glare. "Naru!" seeing Iruka's glance around the room stop on him and the raven, the blond decided it would be best to hurry this up a bit, given Iruka's tendencies to be a protective mother hen. Feeling nervous Naruto offered the raven his phone, "Give me your number so that I can tell you later, if you want." The raven smiled a small smile for the first time of their conversation. The smile sent Naruto off kilter for a second as his heart skipped a beat a started up again fast. Damn he is way too gorgeous to be real, Naruto thought as he blushed a bit. Coughing into his elbow the fox and the raven exchanged phone numbers, both anticipating their next encounter. Looking at his grandfather and fathers, Naruto stood up pulling Sasuke with him. Smiling at the raven, he led him over to the just as his family decided to make introduce themselves to the group.

-O00o00O-

As they walked back towards the group Naruto noticed that some of the people were gone. That mostly being the bubblegum haired bitch and the other crazed girls. Naruto signed in relief, not wanting to be hounded by the annoying tri-some. Sasuke noticed the blond sign and smirked, as if knowing the reason behind that relief.

"Kid, whatcha doing over there?" His grandfather, Jiraiya, asked the fox as himself and the raven came over.

"Haha. Chill gramps, I was making a new friend." Naruto said with a laugh, scratching the back of his head. "Anyway aren't you going to introduce yourself first before starting in on me?" Naruto smirked at the sheepish look that crossed Jiraiya's face at his statement. Taking a seat on the couch Gaara was on with Sasuke, Naruto gave his family the go ahead.

Iruka immediately noticed all the eyes on them and blushed, making the scar across his nose and cheeks stand out more than his brown spiked pony tail that bobbed in his surprise. "Oh how rude of us! We just barged in and got distracted. I am Iruka, this is my husband Kakashi, we're Naru and Gaara's fathers, and this is their grandfather, and manager, Jiraiya." Kakashi's trademark mask was in place, covering his face all the way to his nose, his silver hair strategically falling over his left eye covering his scar that was over said eye and a bit of cheek. But Naruto could tell he was amused from his eye twinkle. Jiraiya on the other hand was outwardly smirking, on the verge of laughing. His long white hair tied back in a pony tail. Naruto laughed at the slight surprise on Sasuke and Neji's face, while Suigetsu and Hinata's jaw actually dropped, from Iruka's announcement. Itachi seemed to already know since his expression didn't seem to change. Iruka kept smiling, oblivious to the stares. Shikamaru just kept his head against the couch trying to sleep, while Kiba just smirked at the questionable glances from the teens.

Itachi took the initiative to introduce his party, pointing to the younger raven beside Naruto."This is my younger brother Sasuke, and his friends Suigetsu, and Neji and Hinata, who are cousins." The blond noticed how Kiba seemed really interested in the raven haired girl Hinata, but what confused Naruto was how the lavender eyed guy, Neji, was sneaking glances at Gaara. Which wouldn't be surprising since his brothers adorable, but the redhead was actually looking back at the brunette and whenever they met eyes, the redhead would have the slightest pink in his otherwise pale cheeks. 'Well. Would you look at that my little panda's growing up!' Naruto squealed to himself in excitement. 'Aw I just want to pinch his cheeks! But he'd kill me if I did it in front of people so I'll just have to wait until we get home.'

Iruka double taked when he finally noticed Kiba's state of dress. "Kiba! What are you doing wearing your vest open like that?"

"Ah." Kiba started looking nervous. Iruka just tapped his foot, patiently waiting for the explanation.

"It's a fashion statement...?" Kiba looked at Naruto uncertainly.

"Hey don't try bringing me into this." The blond crossed his arms. "Your the one that choose that outfit. Looks great, but you still choose it."

Iruka's eyebrow started to twitch. "Just because something looks good does not mean that it's the best thing to wear in such a big crowd. Especially at this ti-"

"Iruka." Kakashi spoke for the first time, silencing Iruka mid-speech.

Noticing the serious look in Kakashi's eye and Jiraiya's face, Naruto and Gaara exchanged glances, Shikamaru opened one of his eyes and raised an eyebrow, while Kiba just remained oblivious as he looked at the raven haired lavender eyed girl that was across from him. Gaara's slight nod told the blond that they were going to talk about it later. 'I wonder what they're hiding...'

"Anyways. Kids it's time for us to go." Jiraiya just kept smiling even though he had just ruined the coming together of three couples. The blonds "Wah?!" and Kiba's groan of disappointment, "but I wanted to party," just seemed to give the white haired man greater amusement.

Gaara and Shika both stood up, not even bothering to argue. At Kakashi's stern glare that yelled 'don't fuck with me,' Naruto and Kiba grudgingly stood up, not even tempting to go against Kakashi.

"It was a pleasure meeting you all. Itachi we have the schedule for the month so I'll call you tomorrow to do details." Itachi nodded his asset and led the group to the door. Naruto smiled at how the older raven didn't have to say a word to get his say in things. Walking to the door the group waved goodbye to their new acquaintances while the blond turned giving his most dazzling smile to the younger raven and walked out.

~O00o00O~

Gaara's PV (at concert)

"Okay so right when I announce you guys is when your supposed to run onstage to take your places." Naruto's cerulean blue eyes were alight with excitement that was contained only by the need to make sure everything was in order. Gaara smiled to himself at his brothers obsessive compulsiveness, 'Aw he's adorable, his OCD just makes him cuter.'

"Naru! We know already! You've told us like fifteen times!" Kiba waved his arms up and down. 'Idiot dog.' Was all Gaara could think as he shook his head. Looking over at Shikamaru the redhead wasn't surprised to see the brunette roll his eyes at the dogs behaviour.

"Oh." Naruto looked surprised and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about the idiot Naru, he's just exaggerating." The redhead ruffled the blonds hair softly. "So should we go."

Naruto nodded and skipped towards the stage, the rest of the group followed. When they got to the side, they stopped waiting for the curtain to go up all the way. "Go Naru." Shikamaru gave the blond his microphone and pushed him lightly to the centre stage. Gaara watched Naruto, entranced by the faces of the blond as he sealed his fear inside of himself and brought out the his most dazzling smile and ran up the stage.

Knowing that he was always the first called up after Naruto, the redhead cracked his fingers and nodded to the others before turning and heading up the stage right when his name was called. Picking up his guitar, the redhead checked that everything was in order before looking out to the crowd as always; feeling some insurance in taking in the excited faces of the crowd. Gaara's breath stopped as he suddenly was caught by a pair of lavender eyes that seemed to have no pupils, just an intensity that made one almost loose themselves. Luckily for the redhead his recovery was instantaneous and was able to start right into the song at Naruto's signal. 'I've never seen such a colour before. I wonder if they're contacts? Hmm. Not likely since there wasn't any pupils. Interesting.'

Some time in the second chorus the redhead noticed how though his blond brother was singing, his attention was completely focused on a raven haired individual who was sitting in a booth. Not only that but the raven was a companion to the lavender eyed 'attractive' male that Gaara had noticed earlier. 'Very interesting'. Knowing his brother like he did, the redhead knew right away that this raven was different from his other conquest, both male and female. The blonds darkened eyes only seemed to confirm Gaara's suspicions since usually the blonds eyes would get lighter if it was just lust.

At the end of the song when they huddled together, though the raven didn't see Itachi come up behind him, Gaara did. Seeing the two together the redhead was sure that they were related and since they already knew Itachi, who owned the club and various other businesses, Gaara was sure that they would probably meet the raven soon, which would make his brother happy. Feeling satisfied in his new knowledge that this could continue for his brother, the red head smirked (cause he most certainly would never smile, unless to Naruto) and brought his attention back to the group. Commenting when he saw Itachi coming towards them, they all turned to look at the older raven.

After telling them what would happen after the concert, the redhead and the older raven locked eyes, knowing that the older raven had seen what he had and had noticed him seeing it. Both knowing that their brothers' happiness rested on this working, they both nodded to each other, silently agreeing to give them the little 'push' then let the 'chips fall as they may.' Seems that he's smarter then he lets on... Interesting.

~O00o00O~

When reaching the lounge at the end of the concert, Gaara immediately, in an inadvertent way of course, got Naruto and the younger rave, Sasuke, alone. Or as alone they could get in a lounge filled with people. Seeing that they seemed completely oblivious to any others but themselves, Gaara turned back to the other group with a faint, but certainly there, smile. Looking up Gaara was shocked to find lavender eyes staring at him, catching that smile and seeming interested on what had made him happy. Quickly looking away had him unfortunately looking at Shikamaru who had a knowing glint in his eyes. Since unlike most people, Shikamaru was a genius when it came to everything, especially body language and facial features. Shit. Really not wanting to be bothered about it, the redhead let his thoughts drift to the important matter at hand, his brother and his brothers happiness.
