Part XI


Sasuke

The position in which Gaara had me was in the least not very comfortable. I mean sure the guy was hot, but I didn't know anything about him. I didn't know if this innocence thing was an act and if he was going to rape me three ways from sunday...that actually sounded kind of intruiging. I also had the lie about Sasuke to keep up. I wasn't about to screw up my little masquerade with the Uchiha boy, I was having too much fun.... I pushed him back slightly.


"I don't care if anyone can see or not, I'm not that keen on ruining Sasuke-kun's reputation." I remarked moving off the bed and across the room from the red headed drummer. "Sasuke is my boyfriend, and I'm going to be faithful to that decision." I grinned awkwardly at him.


Gaara was giving me an odd expression. Man but sometimes he did look like a homocidal maniac. Those dark lines around his eyes didn't help. I mean I could tell that he didn't get sleep, but I knew that it was enhanced, or maybe hidden by dark eyeliner. I sighed. Man Sasuke would be having a fit if he knew what Gaara was trying to do. I was tired, and I knew I had a long rest of the week ahead of me, now if only I could get Gaara to leave me alone.


"I want to go to sleep, so take your little sand pet and move back to the couch. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow." I sighed and moved to the bathroom loocking myself within. Every single time he had me cornered I became aroused. It sucked. Well it didn't look like he was going to leave me alone anytime soon, so I might as well trying to relieve some stress.


I sat idly tracing my scar while waiting for the water in the shower to heat up. It was so odd to have such a gnarly piece of work on my belly. I bet that a tattoo artist couldn't even make something det detailed. I closed my eyes and traced the spiral imagining Sasuke's hand. It was fun to fantasize about Neji, but for some reason my mind placed Sasuke in pictpicture, not that it mattered to me. After all he was my boyfriend, quote un-quote, and he was something pretty to look at. Hell I even knew how he tasted. Hmmmm.....it was a spicy flavor. So anyway I was imaginihe she soft feel of Sasuke's fingertips on my scar. His fingers as I remember were slightly rough from playing guitar. I sighed softly as I imagined his touch. My mind was so vividly painting his image in my brain. I drew my hand lower pushing my pants to the floor. My othandhand came up to tease a swollen nipple.


"Sasu...." a soft moan escaped my lips as the imaginary Uchiha teased my body.


I panted his name over and over again as I touched my own erection. Sasuke's name rolled from my lips like sex. I fisted the hardness with the picture of Sasuke bringing me off. I know he really wouldn't do that, but just remembering the touch of calloused fingers and his so erotic body was enough to climax. I frowned down at my messy hand as I came out of my trance.


"Damn...." I was going to be picturing this every time I saw him in class tomorrow.

I reached out to run my fingers under the spray of water and smiled finding it satisfactory. I wondered how Sasuke liked to take his showers. "Meh stupid boy porbably takes them ice cold. Not like he'd feel it anyway." The warm touch on my skin felt good and it relaxed my muscles and calmed my nerves. I briefly wondered if the club audience would like us since we were younger. well it didn't matter. Hatake-sensei had said that there would be talent agents there even though we weren't supposed to know. It was scary to actually think how much that lazy teacher ally lly knew. I wondered if other bands were going to be there. My long reverie however was cut short by the water flow suddenly slapping me with an icy touch. I yelped and then jumped out of the shower shivering.

I opened the door a crack to see if Gaara had vanished into the other room and then hightailed it to my own with just the towel wrapped around my waist. I needed sleep. We had two more practices to get the song perfect before going to play for the club. I tried to picture myself pouring my old poetry out in song form to a group of people that really didn't understand. Well, it didn't matter; what mattered now was sleeping. I sunk back down to my bed and started to doze as soon as my head hit the pillow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Man I hated when Konoha was in it's rainy season. I had to walk to school again in one of the downpours Konoha had every year between March and November. I walked into the classroom drenched again anook ook some of the excess like a wet dog. Stupid Kyuubi gave me some damn quirky habits. Of course I started the day the same, the teacher glared at me, Sasuke's fangirls glared at me, and Sasuke just gave me an icy look. I winked at him and went to my seat in the back of the room. As always the teacher droned on and on causing me to fall asleep. I was really tired too since that incedent with Gaara left me a li too too alert while I had slept.

The teacher came over to me again intent on whacking me with a ruler while I slept. I thought she'd be used to this by now. As the ruler came for my head I intercepted it with my arm. "Go away you bitch, I'm tired......." I drawled. "I know you hate my fucking guts so why don't you just let me start my day in detention instead of wasting my energy by making me come here and then waking me up to go to detention." I stood up and grabbed my backpack and pushed past her.


Everyone in the classroom was deadly quiet, until Sasuke's fanclub started asking him how and why ended up with me.I stopped outside the door to listen to his response.


"He's better company than a bunch of fucking giggly airheads." He grumped.

"Uchiha!" The teacher sounded offended, "Apologize right now!" I could almost see the surprised expression on her face when he uttered a firm no. "He's a bad influence on you. You never would do that."


"I don't care about them. All they want is my fucking looks or status. That's all anybody in this damn place wants. I bet I could ask any one of them to sleep with me and even know that I'm with some one they would. They're all just a bunch of backstabbing bitches." Venomous words Sasuke, truth in that venom though. I'd never heard him say so many words before.


I heard the scraping of a chair against the floor and footsteps. The door was roughly pushed open and there stood Sasuke. I felt some kinda of pity for him. I bet that was one of the causes for his disagreeable personality. He turned to cast a surpised look at me.


"What are you still doing here Uzumaki. I thought you already went to detention."

"Nah I figured I'd wait for you since as soon as I left I heard arguing." I looked at him with sad eyes. "Mou Sasuke, I know that all this running around with you is a farce and all, but I think the acting is taking a toll on you. I mean why act like you are with some one you can't really stand to be around?" He gave me an odd look but said nothing. "come on let's skip today!" I said with sudden child-like amusement.


"Skip..he qhe questioned as if he didn't understand the meaning.


"Yeah! Who needs this fucking place anyway?" I started to tug his arm in the direction of the exit.


"And go where? If you haven't forgotten it's raining outside dead last."

I smiled and turned back to him. "I know." I said with a vulpine grin before yanking him after me.


Don't get me wrong. I know I said that I hate the rainy seasons, but that's since I have to go to school. To be wet and sitting in a classroom just doesn't work for me. I don't mind playing in the rain though. Call it a childish thing, but don't knock it. It's a totally great way to relax. Sasuke was desperately trying to get his arm free, but I was determined. Hell he already hated me and I was already wet, so racing out in the rain with him in tow really didn't faze me. Sasuke fumed at me as he was drenched by the heavy rain the moment I brought him outside.

"You idiot." Sasuke yanked me back while glaring at me. "What the fuck is your problem?!"


"Mou, Sasuke!" I pouted at him. "You are a bastard." I gave him a frown. "I was just trying to get your mind off the issues that are going on right now. Trying to be friendly. Do you think you making me act like I'm with you is any easier on me?!" I stamped my foot. "Let me tell you it's not! I don't like lying to people! I don't like being bound by your social status! And I don't like not being able to really do those things with you!" oh shit...take it back Naruto. For the love of....take it back! Too late. His eyes narrowed at me. Fuck it. "I really like you, ok?" I turned my back to him. "I'm sorry to inconvenience you with my stupid feelings." I started to walk away. "Just forget I said anything, I'm indecisive.I like Neji too....a lot, and that guy from Sand...I'm soft on him.....You know what just fucking go away Sasuke...I'll see you at practice."


I walked away from the school grounds out toward the forrest surrounding Konoha. I loved this place. It held secrets of past generations. I remeber reading about the battles that the Nin of Konoha had fought with other villages. That scroll was pretty interesting. I was too busy thinking of it that I didn't even realize that I had bumped into some travelers.


"Look it's that stupid kid from the competition." I looked up and saw the two of Gaara's bandmates.


"Yeah he's so pathetic."


I gazed at them and then just walked around them.


"Why don't we choke him, so that the talent agents won't be able to hear him sing?" The hooded guy laughed. "Or maybe we could just mess his face up a bit so that he's too embarassed to sing."


I jolted around. "What?!"


Suddenly they were coming at me. Kyuubi was growling deep inside of my stomach. The guy swung at me and barely missed. A good thing too because it he had hit I bet that metal thumb ring of his would've hurt.


"What the fuck is your problem?! It was just a silly competetion!" I yelled at them.

"That's why we can't let you get a chance with the agents." He came at me again and I backed up in panic. "You're just a no-account with no talent."

Kyuubi was growling at me as I continued to back up to avoid the punches. Eventually I slid in a puddle of mud behind me. He laughed as shook the mud off. The damn guy was freaky. He had a thing for that old warpaint. His fist was about to connect with my flesh when I did the only thing that came to my mind.


"Kage bunshin no jutsu..."


That same feeling of Kyuubi's soul filling me surged in my veins and suddenly there were three extra bodies around me. My clones all looked really pissed and they came in front of me. I was shocked to say the least. I didn't think that it would work..It was kinda like a panic button and I guess Kyuubi answered the call. The clones were ready to fight, but the pair suddenly stopped advancing on me. I looked up and spotted Sasuke sitting a in the tree above me with a few rocks in his hand. Apparently he'd scored a perfect hit on Kankuro's, I think that was his name, fist.


"Since when does music involve strangling people." He stood on the branch. "How pathetic...." He jumped down and landed behind me. "Leave Naruto out of this , he's just a stupid kid...like you said." Hey you jerk.


They both started to laugh at Sasuke but all that did was make him more angry and snide. "If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the two of you are jealous that our band here, that had no experience beat you out." He idly tossed a rock in the air. "You're the pathetic ones picking on a defenseless kid who just likes to sing."


Sasuke chunked the rock at Kankuro but it was intercepted by a quick flow of sand.


"G-gaara..." The hooded guy started, but soon found sand wrapped around his neck.


"I want to duel with them again........" his voice was deadly. I watched in surprise, "Leave Uzumaki alone....don't interfere with my conquests...." He dropped the choking guy in the mud.

"What the hell is your problem Gaara?! Don't you want to keep those guys from getting a label?" He coughed a bit. "They're competition!"

"Stop being foolish Kankuro." Gaara started to walk towards me and Sausuke. "My existence is based on how talented I am...not getting a label." He stopped to glare at Sasuke before addressing his bandmates again. "If you two are so insistent on beating everyone go practice..."


Gaara was a truly frightening person, but not because of his odd appearance or anything physical, it was his personality. His mood changes were odd and violent and very unexpected. One could never tell what was going on in his head. Sasuke had stepped in front of me and was glaring at Gaara. The drummer matched his glare. Man talk about tense.


"Will you guys stop it?!" I sighed and poofed both of my frowning clones and then frowned at the two teens giving the other the glare-down. "I want to have alittle bit of time without worrying about keeping up appearances or worrying about my band memebers getting into a fight and possibly not performing." I huffed at the pair, "I am very serious about music, and I want to be able to keep it up, and I'll not have either of you screw it up." With that said I stomped off further into the woods.


~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I returned to the apartment Neji and Sasuke were already there and waiting for me so we could practice. I was about to grab the portable mic to sing, but Neji pushed me into the bathroom and closed the door. I could almost feel Sasuke glaring through the wall.


"You can't sing like that." I looked at him oddly. "Dry off and take a quick hot shower and put something dry on so you don't get sick. I don't think anyone wants to hear a scratchy voice." He left me standing in the bathroom wondering.


The hot water did sound enticing so I did decide that Neji's idea was in my best interest. After a brief encounter with the water I felt slightly better. I wondered how Sasuke was going to be around me now that he knew for real that I liked him. Neji hadn't taken my crush on him badly, in fact he had promised me a future encounter. I didn't know if he was serious or not, but it was nice to know where I stood with him. With Sasuke I never could tell. Well I needed to not think about that now. All that needed to be on my mind was getting the music right for tomorrow night. We had one more practice after this one, a short one after school. I hope that Sasuke's fanclub wouldn't decide to interfere with it.


I crossed back into the other room in just my pajama pants that had been hanging on the towel rack. Both looked at me for a moment. I felt uncomfortable under their gazes especially since I had the Kyuubi scar. Neji then smiled slightly and strummed a note on his bass signaling that he was ready to start.


I nodded and began the song. As I got a little into it I realized that they were singing with me in nice soft pitches and harmonies. I smiled and closed my eyes hoping that we could at least sound like this when we performed. Obviously they wanted us to do our competetion songs, but more if possible. Only three, but enough to be heard if there were indeed going to be scouts there.


Practice had gone great I thought. I hadn't even worried about my confession on accident until I felt Sasuke's intense gaze on me before he left. Those coal eyes were hiding so many things from me. I had the tiniest hope that maybe he had a little bit of feeling for me, but that was crushed by the cold frown he gave. Neji had seen and sighed at us. He came and patted me on the shoulder comfortingly.


"Is there anyone out there Neji that doesn't hate me or isn't trying to take advantage of me?" I sighed in annoyance.


He smirked. "You're insufferable Naruto." He whispered sarcastically before leaning over me from behind and kissing me.


My eyes widened a bit at his small action. It wasn't one of those passionate kisses that I really wanted from him, but it was him willingly kissing me. A soft moan escaped me as I parted my lips wanting him to give me more instead of torturing me. His arms hugged my shoulders softly his fingers splayed across my chest. To me delight I felt his tongue brush against mine as he pulled me closer to his body. I didn't know where to place my hands so I just reached up behind me and pulled him as close as I could. His silky midnight hair curtained around our faces as I yanked the band out so that I could touch it's perfection. His kiss was so controlling and it made me desire him oh so much more than before.

"Neji-sama......" I gasped softly against his lips.

Suddenly he pulled away from me. "No Naruto..." He pushed his hair away from his face. "This can't go any farther. It isn't fair to you."

"But I want it to!" I was puting at Neji as he gathered his belongings. "I want to be who you take your tensions out on. It isn't fair, you kissed me first."


"This is precisely why you aren't ready yet in my eyes. It takes two people to have sex, your body might desire it strongly but you also have to know when to say no and you can't blame the other person if something doesn't go how you want it." He turned and left.


"Damn it Neji! That's a low punch."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat nervously backstage trying not to think that the audience would be full of people I knew. I gazed a my appearance. How the hell had the club owner talked me into letting them dress me. I for one was not fond of makeup, well eyeliner was okay in moderation, but lipstick? Tehy said it would help my face stand out. I could almost understand, but the bar owner's daughter I swear was trying to humiliate me. She had dressed me in these tight nylon pants that were orange and blue with a matching stomach baring shirt and body glitter, lots of it. I was already nervous about my stomach showing, at least moving inventory in the bookstore had kept me in shape with no flab and nice muscles. My hair made me look even more ridiculous. She had smoothed the front down with the same glitter goop and spiked the back, which wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't put these damn sparkle clips in my hair to hold it down.


Sasuke didn't look like he'd fared the treatment any better, but damn was he hot. She had dressed him in dark blue that had complimented his pale skin and dark eyes and hair nicely. Simple outfit and he'd escaped without any belly baring clothing, but what he did have on complimented his ass nicely as well. She also felt the need I guess the put some silver jewlry on him. It looked nice at least. She'd completely smoothed his hair down and then put a lot of eyeliner on him. He was not in the least bit amused. I bet she had used the costuming as an excuse to fondle him.


I then turned to Neji and felt heat in my cheeks. Dark pants that hugged his legs in all the right places, and well he might as well not wear the shirt. A clean white shirt left hanging open. She'd had also messed with his hair as well. It was pulled up in a Samurai ponytail like I'd seen in some old magazines, with a few pieces left in the front to give him sex appeal.....As if he needed it. A touch of liner and he looked like a fucking Sex overlord.


But there was no need to work myself up over this right now these pants didn't allow for hiding anything. After the show I could have all the wet dreams I wanted. Man I bet that I looked like a posh little girl compared to my other taller better looking band mates. I sighed and calmed my nerves preparing myself mentally for my first real trial.


We were announced and suddenly ushered on the stage. I closed my eyes as the spots hit us. Well here it goes no turning back now..............
