Stars
When people come to think of the lifestyles of rock stars they never really understand what it really means to be who we are. Everyone thinks that a rock star's life is all about getting laid by the hottest guys and girls, money and the best thing of all… fame. It's too bad nobody ever told them it's all that and more… too bad nobody told me it was all that and more.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It all started about 2 years ago when I was front row at one of my favorite bands live concerts. Konoha Legend was my inspiration for my music… and had the hottest lead singer in the country… in my opinion anyway.
I saw them come on stage and nearly everyone erupted into applause and cheers. I refrained until I saw his jet-black hair and those obsidian eyes that looked into your very soul. Some nights I thought I only came for him, other's I thought it was for the music. Tonight was one of the nights where it was all for him.
I started screaming just like everyone else in the crowd. I saw him smirking as he looked up at the audience, which made the girls go insane. I heard the bass come in slowly as he finally made eye contact with us and started to sing. The melodies flowing from his mouth so freely, it must've been a sin to flow so easily.
We walk past a dead end street
Atop the hill so we can be alone
The electric came in then, along with the drums accompanying the bass.
Under the moon it's beautiful.
The stars clear the black of night when I'm with you.
And nervously I take your hands
And promise you I'll take you for a ride...
The guitar died out then leaving only the cymbal on the drums along with the bass, still going strong from the beginning.
And someday we'll have it all,
You and me, we're gonna be stars
The whole stage erupted with noise as all the instruments came together for the chorus making the crowd shout with excitement. That's when everyone joined in with the song.
We'll runaway from everything you hate,
Runaway to everything you've wanted
Take my hand, let's get famous.
We'll runaway from everything you've fought
Runaway to everything you've loved
Take my hand, let's get famous
As they continued with the song a few girls started to go insane as they started shouting the next words from the song. I looked up at him and could've sworn that he looked dead at me.
I'm amazed how things can change.
How the real world can chase our dreams away
How did you give up so easily?
'Cause I'd rather make them bury me... so let's
Runaway from everything you hate,
Runaway to everything you've wanted
Take my hand, let's get famous.
We'll runaway from everything you've fought
Runaway to everything you've loved
Take my hand, let's get famous
The music died down to a soft tempo as he leaned down all the way, towards me, holding my cheek in his hand, while gripping the mike with the other.
Our names in lights across the sky,
It's beautiful and our whole lives
Will be headlines across the whole world
The girls around me started swooning and tried to touch him as he held me in my place. He winked at me as the music picked up tempo again and he leaned back, standing up on stage, screaming into the mike just like he was before.
I can't let you live, you're just a ghost
And I'm feeling sick inside my head
You won't feel a thing
I'll cover up your eyes as I bury you
I know I bury this under drowning eyes,
And I'll carry it till the day I die
We'll runaway from everything you hate,
Runaway to everything you've wanted
Take my hand, let's get famous
We'll runaway from everything you've fought
Runaway to everything you've loved
Take my hand, let's get famous
As the band played the final chords to the song all you could hear was a bunch of girls screaming their heads off for the band. I saw a few articles of clothing get thrown on stage but I was too distracted as I saw how he was looking at me, his gaze watching me and only me.
The concert continued the same way, but nothing really eventful happened after that. I mean what could follow up the most eligible bachelor in the country caressing your cheek? I don't think anything really could.
"I love these guys so much!" a girl next to me said that I knew all to well.
"Please, you mean you love him," I corrected her. She shot me a dirty looked but continued to look up at the sex god as he was lifting his shirt up, whilst still singing. She started screaming then, taking out her phone and taking a picture of it.
"Wow, you're positively pathetic," I said, bobbing my head to the music.
"Oh shutup Naruto! Just because he isn't gay and can't be yours!"
"Um, Sakura. I don't know if you didn't notice, but he did kinda caress my cheek!" I screamed over the music. She said nothing then, seeing as how she was singing along with the group. She was a fanatic and was in love with the lead singer… who wasn't?
The song ended as the crowd started cheering even louder, being the fact that it was going to be the last song and all you could hear from everyone was "ONE MORE SONG! ONE MORE SONG!" stuff like that always happened at their gigs.
"Sorry guys, we gotta go. We've been playing for a while and got to head out. Thanks for coming. We love the fans! PEACE!" he said backing up from the mike as everyone started to scream again. Was it possible for someone's voice to give you an orgasm?
I looked up at him, my gaze lingering on his amazing body as he looked over at me, smirking and winked, getting off stage. Sakura turned to me and gaped as she tried to figure out what the hell had just happened.
"Did he… did he just wink at you?!" she screamed at me. I rolled my eyes as she pounded on my arm.
"Ow! Stop that, it hurts," I said to her, as she continued to stare at me.
"This is so not cool! He can't like guys! He's straight! He has to go out with me!" she continued to say as we cleared out of the building.
"In your dreams, my lovely pink-haired friend. You're a bit… how do I put this nicely… psychotic,"
"That's putting it nicely?" she questioned sarcastically.
"In my words… yes," I said smiling. She shoved me as we hailed a cab, to go home. The only problem with Konoha Legend's gigs is that they would always be the day right before we have school. College is a royal bitch, and being in a band doesn't help much either.
Sakura and I paid the man as we got up and made our way up to our apartment that we shared with our friends. Getting upstairs was probably the worst thing ever, being the fact that the moment we walked in we noticed everyone around two people making bets. Feet in the air, beer propped up on all four feet that were in the air as they did upside down push-ups.
"Oh, god. Again? You remember what happened last time when you guys did this!" I screamed at them.
"Come on Naruto… they've been going at it for a good while now,"
"Shino I don't care. I'd rather not take anyone to the emergency room tonight. It's already late," I said. I felt an arm around my shoulder, glaring at the person, already knowing who it was.
"Calm down man. Nothing's gonna happen this time,"
"That's what you bumbling idiots said the last time Lee," I said taking his arm off of my shoulders.
"You're so tense, loosen up man,"
"Yeah, I'll loosen up when you idiots go home!"
"Ouch that hurts man,"
"Neji what the hell are you, Lee, and Gaara doing here anyway?!"
"Well Gaara and I wanted to drop by and see everyone else, since we were so rudely kicked out the last time,"
"You guys were kicked out because you destroyed half of the dishes, playing Frisbee with them!"
"That was fun," Gaara said as Neji and Lee nodded in agreement. I glared at them as they cowered away.
"Shit, someone grab my beers quick!" I heard Shikamaru say. I grabbed them, backing away as he flipped up right and took them from me. I saw Kiba smirk as Shino walked over to him and took his beers, backing up as Kiba did the same.
"Beat you again man!" Kiba said, encircling an arm around Shino's waist.
"You cheated, you always cheat!"
"How the fuck do you cheat at something like that?"
"I don't know but you did!" Shikamaru said. I got in between them, smiling brightly as I did so.
"Okay, now that, that's over, everyone can leave seeing that we all have school tomorrow! BYE!" I said ushering everyone out of the house except the people that belonged there. I turned around and glared at Kiba as he smirked at me.
"Okay, okay. Shino and I are going to bed," Kiba said walking away. I rolled my eyes as I ushered everyone away to their respectable quarters. I went to my room and fell asleep as quick as I touched the pillow.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Next week, there is going to be a test on today's assignment. So study hard. You are dismissed. I got up from where I was and walked over to Kiba who was dozing off at the end of class.
"Get up loser, we have a gig tonight," I said shaking him slightly. Kiba smiled up at me, grabbing his stuff and walking outside of the room.
"God, I can't take this college shit! It's not for me," Kiba said as we walked outside to the van. We waited outside of the van for Sakura, Shino, and Shikamaru who were taking a bit of a long time. Kiba and I stayed talking as I saw Sakura coming out the building, talking to Shino and Shikamaru who seemed to be taking longer than ever.
"Guys, come on! You know how long it takes us to set up anywhere we go," I said to them. They nodded, all of us piling into the van and going straight to the spot where our gig was supposed to be held that night. Seeing as how it was already around 6:00 and it took us about 2 hours to get set up we needed to go then.
When we got to the place all of us made sure to check in with the manager and he was psyched to have us there. I saw Neji, Lee and Gaara as they always came by before any of our gigs, to help us set up. Kiba and Shikamaru grabbed the Amps from the back of the van. I grabbed the guitars and the bass' as Sakura grabbed different parts from the drum set.
We were all getting set up as it got later. When we were all ready we did minimal sound checks to make sure everything was in tune and working. We all got off the stage and got a drink before hand. Shikamaru and Kiba looked at each other and were getting ready to have a drinking contest but thank got Shino and Lee stopped them before anything got out of hand.
We saw that people were getting ready to come in so we started getting on stage strapping all of our instruments together as Shino, Lee, Gaara and Neji all got backstage. I saw that today was one of the long nights, seeing that a lot of people were there. We all turned our mikes on as everyone started to get restless.
"Okay guys… we're gonna do 'Rock your ass off'," I told them. They all nodded in agreement as I turned back around to the mike and looked out at the crowd. We had codes for all our performances as to not get them confused with others and called them out before each one as to make it come out on the spot, being that we already knew all our material. I heard Shikamaru give the tempo with his sticks as I started playing the opening rhythm singing the first lines to the song along with it.
Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart
But where's your heart
But where's your
At that point everyone joined in on a key, which was getting the audience riled up as they looked up at all of us. I smirked as I looked over at Sakura and Kiba and kept singing.
AND I KNOW
There's nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
TO CHANGE
Everyone played at that point, as I backed away from the mike a bit getting ready to play a few chords in a row, not wanting to make the mike fall over in the process. We got into the real first verse then as I kept playing hearing everyone go crazy with excitement as we continued to play.
So many
Bright lights they cast a shadow
But can I speak
Is it hard understanding?
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
I life that's so demanding
I can't speak
For a split second we all stopped, only hearing Shikamaru's cymbal, but we roared back into the chorus making the crowd scream with applause as they backed me up with the lyrics.
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
We went back into the beginning chorus as we went into the second verse, while people started to pump their fists in the air. We smirked at each other as they did that and I got back up to the mike to sing the next verse.
Can you see?
My eyes are shining bright
'Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding?
I'm incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak
We paused once again before going into the chorus, louder this time, feeling much empowerment from the song.
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
We went into a different temp then as Shikamaru kept on going strong with the drums and all of us going stronger. I had a mini-guitar solo then, as I backed up from the mike again, looking down at myself, making sure that I didn't mess this one up.
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I said
Then everyone stopped playing except Sakura as I sang the next vocals, moving real close to the mike, letting go of my guitar in the process, and leaning forward a bit just as I saw him do at his concert yesterday.
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or Dead
Everyone came in slowly that time, following Sakura's chords and backing me up with the lyrics, saying different words than I was as I got back upright.
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or Dead
Everyone got back into the original beat as I grabbed onto my guitar playing the next chords as everyone was singing along with us at that point.
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or Dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or DEAD
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone (Or Dead)
Honey if you stay you'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home (Or Dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone (Or Dead)
Honey if you stay you'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home (Or Dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone (Or Dead)
Honey if you stay you'll be forgiven
Nothing you can stay can stop me going home
We stopped singing then, stopping all rhythm and chords as the crowed screamed and applauded as we smiled at all of them. We got into our next song then playing non-stop. On our last song we switched instruments to our more mellow instruments, strapping them on us as I got back to the mike. I let Kiba give me the count-off as I started with the beginning chords. Everyone stayed still, gripping their instrument as I played.
I've been thinking of everything I used to want to be
I've been thinking of everything of me,
Of you and me
Everyone came in on the next line, softly, since it was supposed to be a mellow closing and a soft one at that. Kiba sang under me as we started to do the chorus.
This is the story of my life (These are the lies I have created)
This is the story of my life (These are the lies I have created)
I let go of my guitar then, gripping the mike stand and looking out into the audience as I sang the next verse, every so softly.
I'm in the middle of nothing
And it's where I want to be
I'm at the bottom of everything
And I finally start to leave
This is the story of my life (These are the lies I have created)
This is the story of my life (These are the lies I have created)
I've created!
I looked out into the audience and smiled at all of them, hearing some of them say "We love you Naruto". I continued looking out the audience and that's when I saw him… he was looking up at me with that same smirk from last night. I almost missed my cue as I concentrated on him, singing the next part of the song.
And I swear to god, I'll find myself in the end
And I swear to god, I'll find myself in the end
And I swear to god, I'll find myself in the end
In the end
And I swear to god, I'll find myself in the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
I moved from my mike to get closer to the audience, looking straight at him. I heard a few girls squeal as I kept playing, getting closer to where they were. A few took pictures of me as I played and I went back to my mike to sing the last few lines.
This is the story of my life (These are the lies I have created)
This is the story of my life (These are the lies I have created)
Everyone else died down and Kiba stayed shut as I played and sang the last few notes of the song, keeping my eyes on him and only him.
This is the story of my life
These are the lies I have created
As I finished singing everyone erupted into applause and cheers while we smiled at them. I smiled at everyone as I got back up on the mike to close ourselves out.
"Thanks for coming out tonight, we appreciate it, bunches. We'll be around if you want to talk to us or whatever, we're The Konoha Underdogs and thanks for seeing us tonight," everyone roared with excitement as we all got off stage and went to go chat with some people before putting all our stuff away in their respectable cases. I took a few pictures, signed a few autographs and shook a few hands with people as me and my group did this I saw that he wasn't leaving. I kept looking over at him and soon didn't since I was getting distracted.
When everyone left we started to put our stuff away and were getting ready to leave. I saw all my friends in the van and then I saw the he was still standing there.
"Naruto you coming?" Shikamaru questioned. I nodded at him as he went outside as I walked towards him.
"Hey," I said to him. He smiled at me as I shrugged.
"You want an autograph… picture?" I questioned him as he looked me up and down.
"No," he simply answered. I shuddered and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Okay, what's a big-shot like you doing here if you don't want something then huh?"
"I want you… for my band," he said to me. I dropped my arms and gaped at him.
"Wha…,"
"I know you're part of a band. But consider it,"
"Are you serious?"
"You're good. Plus, my guitarist is leaving soon. Family issues he's saying, so we need a new lead guitarist. And I saw you at our concert yesterday. So I know you're a fan,"
"Wow,"
"Look here's my card. When you make a decision. Just call me,"
"O…okay. Yeah! I'm Naruto by the way,"
"Sasuke," he said holding his hand out for me to shake it. I shook it and shrugged.
"I know who you are… EVERYONE knows who you are,"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
