Chapter 2 - Spiral
He screamed, like there would be no tomorrow. The last note poured smoothly from his voice, into the very microphone which he seemed to hang on for his dear life. Breath strained, the blonde broke off his ending words with an almost angry gasp, head immediately jerking back up. In the background, another blonde, female however, glided through the finale on her synthesiser, lithe body rocking ever so slightly to the music. On the other side of her, a stoic boy of black sunglasses drummed down on his instruments, movements fast and slick.
Gaining back some of his air supply, the singer bounced to the front of the stage, body glinting a sheer layer of perspiration under the orange spotlight. When the song ended, music fading off to an enchanted silence, he came to a crouch, carefully balancing his weight on the balls of his feet, and braced himself. As expected, once the audience, largely of female population, realised their beloved idol has stopped singing, they squealed, pleaded and cried for another song. The noise was thunderous. The vocalist grinned then, ragged breath making his smile wavered.
“Now, you guys know I’m tired already and desperately need a rest.” The singer announced to many groans and disappointed sighs. “Ok, let's say our thanks to our wonderful drummer, Shino-chan, already. And of course not forgetting our sexy synthesiser, Ino-chan too! Lastly, I, Uzumaki Naruto, am pleased to be at your service.” Message delivered, the hyper boy leapt to his feet and retreated back into the darkness that was slowly claiming the stage into visual oblivion. “Good night, minna-san.” Naruto spontaneously cooed into his microphone, a soft sensual purr which sent the audience into a screaming frenzy.
“Ne, ne…Wasn’t I the greatest?” Naruto bounced alongside to his female band-mate, following her lead to the backstage. Cerulean eyes twinkling with glee, he has had this foxy grin stretched from ear to ear, almost splitting his lower part of his face from the rest. However, all the other blonde did, is look at him in general disdain. “Is that so…?” she replied monotonously, head not even turned properly to address him.
At that moment, the third member of their band (which was named Spiral), walked in while lugging along his favourite drum-sets with the help of two backstage staff. Immediately, Ino was alert. She rushed over to Shino, a sly and determined smile in her pale blue eyes., and a sashay in her walk. There was no mistake the girl was interested in the stoic boy. Naruto hesitated at this point, smile faltering. Forgotten behind, overcast by shadows, he watched how Ino tried to engage the sunglasses boy into a conversation. A broken smile fled across his lips then.
Unwanted. Naruto was forever unwanted for his true self. What his fans saw of him, and loved of him, was just a false image his contract studio has created for him. And, even sadder to add, his two band-mates were also introduced to him by his contract studio. They were never his friends. Moreover, it was proving harder each time to make the two of them accept him as who he truly is - hyper, genki, and…Naruto. Would they regard him as their team-mate one of these days? A sigh breezed through the blonde’s frowning lips upon the next depressing thought. Would they? Or would he forever remains as their one-way ticket to fame and fortune only?
Minutes later, the vocalist was out of his stage clothes and into the arts of incognito - baseball hat, sunglasses, black suede jacket and cheap jeans. Slowly weaving his way through the clusters of working staff, he made his way to the back exit. “Thanks for the hard work…” Naruto mumbled softly to random people, a forced smile crooking his lips. He was back to acting again. Pretending as the polite, charming and ever-smiling superstar that he was made into since the day he has signed the singing contract. Most disappointing, was it seemed that everybody agreed with the fake image his contract studio has put up for him.
Stepping outside, he left the concert building, and its current crew of lively occupants to their activities. The heavy metal door swung close behind him with a bang, its soundproofed wall immediately muffling out the noises from within. It was only then did Naruto let out the breath he did not even know he was holding before, in a long nervous wheeze. In the first rush of the midnight breeze, he stood utterly still in the darkness, for a moment, merging with the particular alley he was in. Cerulean eyes saw the full moon with loneliness and faded intelligence meanwhile. Oh kami, he really needs someone- maybe a friend, to confide in now. Taking to the streets, the blonde continued on his quest home, lost in his mini indulgence of self-pity.

Poo n Pee: Hm, what an interesting nick. Anyway, I do agree there seems to be no fanfics of the NAruto gang as hosts. Why not, I think? Hosts are so sexy guys...(drools)
Anon: eh heh heh, sorry about those weird symbols thingy. I should have check when I uploaded the html. darn lazy me. anyway, this time round, everything should be perfect now. and no, ask the plot bunnies to spare me please. they always come up with so many strange ideas that pleaded me to just write them when in exact fact, i got two or three stories watiting to be continue.

Anarchousdrake: well, thanks for the compliment. yes, i do tried to keep them in character. however, it gets real hard when the story proceeds on. a little OOC is most certain to occur, so please bear with me.
bhodi li: lol. the way you put it, Sasuke for rent, sounds so funny. but yes, Sasuke is for rent, and there ought to be hell and jealousy. ^^;;
macy: and everybody tells me my summary is fine...(looks suspiciously at it) but thanks for clicking on it!

A/N: Opps, I did it again. I made this chappie all angst and gloomy. Poor poor Naruto, so lonely even as a superstar. I don’t know why, I guess this chappie is sort of inspired by Gackt. I saw this short video clip whereby the Malize (I think) gang got interviewed by the Kinki Kids (They are talking in Jap, and I don’t understand a word T.T) Gackt was asked something about how he would react to a situation and basically he replied that he would kiss the person. (This is what I deduced) Anyway, I think it is Takeshi who challenged him for a demonstration and Gackt agreed. He nearly kissed Takeshi for the dare O.O! But Takeshi freaked out, as you may say. Then Gackt went back to his seat, and Takeshi made a joke about the whole thing which made everybody laughed. It was then I saw Gackt smiled a very bitter, tired smile. Immediately, I was wondering whether all this shounen-ai hints Gackt has been acting out is real or not, or maybe just a gimmick for fame. And if yes, maybe he is tired of acting so, that is why he looked so sad at the end. Hmm…or maybe it is just me.
