My Song to You

33

Sorry, for some reason I couldnt get into my works on my laptop. Now I can so I'll be updating as much as I can. I'm not going to lie I kind of dislike how I changed the story, but there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry for taking so long on this. Please enjoy.

They're all adults now. Sasuke and Naruto are singers, and the others are living life, but are still a part of their world.

Naruto's stomach was eating him from the inside. He hadn't eaten anything since he landed at the airport not even three hours ago. Iruka and him were picked up by Kakashi in a sliver Surburban when they landed in America. He was in Pennsylvania, in a city called Allentown. He didn't know much English, but over the years he had to learn so many languages. He recently just learned German. He was very nervous, ever since he landed, he was very scared because of the concert he was supposed to be at. Iruka had tried to reassure him a few times that his English was perfect, but it fell on deaf ears. 

Naruto had been peeking from behind stage at the crowd that had gathered tonight. It was Halloween, and the crowd was either in their costumes or just waving spooky themed signs. It was dark in the auditorium and the people were given glow in the darks sticks and circles. Naruto swallowed hard as the announcers were telling everyone what the schedule would be like and certain rules for when the artists walked down to the small stage to the left. Naruto's stomach sank when one of the announcers had excitedly yelled that a surprise artist was going to play the last song of the night with him. Naruto wasn't told about this at all, not from Iruka or Kakashi. He hoped it wasn't some older artist that had a bad reputation and was trying to come from it. 

"Get away from there, you'll only make yourself nervous." Iruka chuckled and pulled Naruto away from the stage entrance. 

"I can't help it. I gotta know how big the crowd is." Naruto complained. 

Iruka only shook his head and pushed Naruto to his dressing room. Inside there was a crew of men and woman ready to style Naruto. Naruto sighed and sat in the chair in front of the mirror. Iruka sat in the small couch off to the right and started swiping through his phone. Naruto's face was taken over by brushes and his hair was pulled and parted with combs and brushes. He wasn't very used to people so close to him regardless of all the years. The best he could do was not flinch. After what happened to him after the talent show he was very cautious of people. 

The way the bristles of the brush pulled his hair Naruto's neck almost cracked. He had forgotten to brush it when he was on the plane. The soft strokes on his face almost made him fall asleep until they were switched to tweezers and his eyebrows were attacked. He flinched every time one of his tiny hairs were pulled and a conditioned apology escaped his lips. The make-up artists only smiled at him as they continued their work. Naruto gripped the smooth wooden handles of his chair when a comb caught onto a knot. His head snapped back, and the artist smacked their teeth. 

Naruto rubbed his empty stomach and looked at Iruka in the mirror who in turn smiled sadly at him. He knew how hungry Naruto was, but he couldn't feed him. The first few times Naruto was on stage with a full tummy he had thrown up backstage. It was now a custom to not feed Naruto before his shows. Naruto checked himself in the mirror when the artists were done and pulled a fake smile. He didn't like all the make up on his face, ever, but he couldn't tell them that. He stood and thanked the artists as they left. The stylist came in a rush with her entourage close behind and began pulling things from the rack and throwing it at her assistants. Naruto stripped to make it easier on them. He was very insecure of his body since the rape. 

Naruto covered himself awkwardly until all the clothes were handed to him. He dressed himself and looked up at the stylist for any signs of displeasure. She looked at him with her left hand to her chin and her right arm hugging herself. She hummed and motioned for Naruto to spin slowly. Naruto followed directions and looked back at her for anything else. 

"Get the tails." The stylist said to anyone who was listening behind her. 

Three assistants left the room making Naruto nervous and his eyes wonder over to Iruka who just smiled in excitement. The door to the room was opened and Naruto nearly lost it. The assistants brough in nine pieces of fur and a belt. The stylist was explaining to Naruto what they were, but he wasn't paying any attention as the blet, and fur pieces were put on him.

"Naruto, are you listening?" The stylist snapped her fingers in his face.

"Sorry, Sumi." Naruto apologized and checked himself in the mirror again.

"As I was saying. These are tails made by yours truly. They're really just though cosplay tails that are being sold all over. They move with your waist movement. I just covered them in fur from the dollar store. Be really careful with them." Sumi said and checked to make sure everything was in place.

Naruto nodded and thanked her for her work. Sumi and her posse left Naruto and Iruka. 

"Jesus, Iruka, did you know about this?" Naruto asked trying to figure out how to walk with them. 

"Yes, and I love it. You look splendid!" Iruka cheered.

Naruto shook his head at his father and practiced his dance move in case the tails messed anything up. Iruka snapped pictures and videos of Naruto to post on the fanbase website for him. They spoke a bit about the schedule and what was to happen after the concert. Then there was a knock on the door announcing it was almost time for Naruto to go out. 

"I'm scared." Naruto admitted. 

"Don't worry, you'll do great. You always do. I'm so proud of you, Naruto. You've come so far." Iruka said getting a little teary eyed. 

Naruto scoffed, "Only because of you and Kakashi. If you guys hadn't moved us and sacrificed everything for me, I'd never be here." Naruto smiled.

The pair hugged the best they could with the tails and headed out.
