Expressing This Feeling:

Chapter 1

Our favorite couple was walking the dark streets of Konoha after a nice dinner date. They were linked arm and arm, enjoying the silence. However, a certain blonde had to put that silence to an end.

"Hey, Hinata-chan. Why don't we go to karaoke tomorrow night?" Naruto asked.

Hinata looked up at him and blushed slightly.

"Karaoke?! I don't know…"

Naruto stopped walking and faced her. He gave her a light peck on the lips.

"Oh, come on Hina-chan. It'll be fun." He whispered.

Hinata looked into his eyes and blushed. How could she say no to those adorable blue orbs of his? She sighed and nodded. Naruto then started walking again, pulling her by his side.

"Great, we can go together with our friends then! I'll call and ask them."

Oh great. Not only was she going to embarrass herself in front of Naruto, but in front of all their friends! She was about to protest, but found that they had reached her door step.

Naruto edged his face closer to hers and whispered, "I had fun tonight Hinata-chan."

He bent his head lower still until his lips were brushing hers. Hinata caught her breath slightly. He stared lovingly into her eyes and closed the space between them.

The kiss was short but heated all the same. Even though Naruto and Hinata had had two months of kissing behind them, every single one of them made Hinata breathless.

"Goodnight Hina-chan."

She blushed at the little nickname and whispered the same to him. They shared another kiss, longer this time, saying their farewell and promising of more tomorrow at the same time. He smiled down at her again and brushed his lips against Hinata's forehead.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?"

Hinata nodded and turned to go in the house when Naruto grabbed her hand. He took it gently into his and kissed the back of it.

"Till then." He smiled up at her blushing face.

All she could do was blush and giggle at his antics. He turned around and started walking down the road as Hinata went inside. Hand over her heart, she leaned back on the door and sighed. Oh how in love they were. There was just one problem. Neither of them had said those three magic words to each other. Funny how sometimes physical actions can be easier than words. She brushed this aside as she always had and went up the stairs to get ready for bed. She could only hope she didn't embarrass herself in front of her boyfriend tomorrow.

Time skip (the next afternoon)

To Hinata's dismay, everyone was eager to go tonight. And by everyone I mean Ino, Sakura, and Tenten plus their boyfriends. In fact, the three girls invited themselves over to help Hinata pick out an outfit. As of right now, Ino was invading her closet while Sakura raided her make-up. And through all of this, Tenten wouldn't stop playing with Hinata's hair.

"Damn Hinata! Do you own anything sexy?!" Ino shouted from frustration as she started throwing shirts out of the closet.

"What should I do with your hair? Maybe put it up? No, leave it down? Curl it you think? No, that'd look a bit trashy…damn what are we going to do?" Tenten asked.

"Hey, Hinata! Where's the red lipstick? And where on earth is the eyeliner? What the hell? No blush?! What the hell do you wear when you're with Naruto?" Sakura screamed from the bathroom.

Tenten smirked in the mirror as she sat behind Hinata brushing her hair.

She yelled back to Sakura, "Didn't you know Sakura? Hinata doesn't need any blush! She does enough of it as it is!"

This caused Ino and Sakura to burst into a fit of giggles. Hinata looked apprehensively at Tenten's reflection.

Ino finally emerged from the closet with a black tank top with red and pink roses all over it.

"Hinata, have you even worn this shirt that I got you?" she asked.

Hinata gave a timid shake of her head. Ino just sighed.

Next Sakura emerged from the bathroom with a pissed of look.

"It's official. Hinata has no life. She has absolutely NO MAKE-UP! I looked everywhere for some!"

Hinata smiled to herself. Maybe now they couldn't make her look like a skank or pass her off as something else. Besides, she didn't have make-up because she didn't see the point in hiding her face. She also didn't wear tight clothing because she realized how enticing she was to the other half of the species. It was embarrassing to walk around with pervy old guys staring at her rack.

Sakura looked at Hinata's smile and cut off her happy thoughts.

"Oh, don't you worry Hinata. I brought back up just in case."

That said, she walked out of the room and came back in a second later with a make-up kit in her hands. As soon as she walked in, Hinata's face fell. Sakura grinned evilly at her.

"Are you going to get ready? Or do we have to use force?" she smirked.

Hinata stared fearfully at the three girls as they all wore malicious faces. She inwardly gulped.

"I-I think I'll d-do it myself." She stammered.

"Good!" Ino shouted. "Now, but on this black lace bra, these tight blue jeans and this tank top. Also," she paused to rummage in the closet. "put on these heels." She finished while taking out a pair of lace up black high heels. She then shoved the cloths into Hinata's arms.

"I'll come back to do your make-up and Tenten, work you magic on Hinata's hair!" Sakura exclaimed.

The three of them then walked out of the room to give her some privacy. Maybe this was Hinata's chance to jump out the window…

Time skip (ten minutes later)

Hinata opened the door to let in her friends and covered her ears. Simultaneously they all shrieked at this new and strange Hinata. They realized that given the right clothing, Hinata could be a total destroyer of worlds. She had just the perfect figure to make the guys and some girls drool. Hey, if they were lesbians, they were totally go for her (lol, couldn't help myself!)!

Sakura smiled and told Hinata to sit at her vanity. She then opened the lock on her kit and opened the first half to reveal eye shadow and eye liner. She picked a perfect shade of light red to match her shirt and a black eye pencil. After she had lightly applied the two on, she reached in her kit for lip gloss. Once she selected a pink sheer lip gloss she quickly applied it and stepped back from her work. She practically cried from happiness.

Next was Tenten's turn. She had started pulling Hinata's hair in a high pony tail when she realized how weird it looked. Ino and Sakura held their breath as they let the magician pull off her trick. If Tenten couldn't help Hinata, no one could. By the end of it all, the most comfortable look on Hinata for tonight was a simple side pony tail. Sakura sweat dropped. Not what she was expecting, but the simplest touches made Hinata look like a total babe!

After putting on a couple bright red bangles and a silver chain with a red rose charm, Hinata looked in her mirror. What she saw made her gasp. Never before did she think she could look so pretty. She was about to cry when Sakura snapped.

"Oh, the hell you will! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRY! You'll smear all of my work!"

This of course scared Hinata shitless, so she obliged to not crying. She looked at the clock; she saw that it was six. She thanked her friends for their help and told them to go home so they could get ready themselves.

Time skip (one hour later)

Hinata answered the door to see Naruto leaning against her door frame. His face turned red as he saw her.

"Y-you look beautiful Hinata-chan." he said exasperated as he averted his gaze from hers.

She giggled at his frazzled look and smiled at him. She then grabbed his hand started pulling him in the direction of the town.

"Why thank you. Something wrong Naruto-kun?" she asked innocently.

Naruto blushed lightly but shook his head.

Within minutes they reached the bar and were greeted inside by their friends. Naruto and the guys went to get drinks for the ladies while they debated on what songs to sing.

"Hmmm, maybe we should sing provocative songs? Maybe tease the guys a bit?" Ino suggested.

"Nah, I already know what I'm going to sing…"Sakura replied.

"Me too, I'm good." Tenten agreed.

They all turned to Hinata.

"So what are YOU going to sing?" they asked in unison.

The truth was, Hinata had no idea what to sing. All she knew was that she wanted it to mean something. Something that would reach Naruto. She didn't have time to respond as the DJ walked onto his platform and call up anyone who was willing to go first. The guys came back with drinks, but one was missing.

Sakura looked confused at Naruto, Neji and Kiba.

"Where's Sasuke-kun?"

Neji smirked and pointed over at the DJ. There was Sasuke, requesting a song. The Uchiha then disappeared behind the curtain. He then reappeared on the stage and the lights dimmed. A light sound of guitars came from the speakers and words appeared on a television screen. Then Sasuke started to sing.

Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you Well I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin' I'm fallin'

His onyx eyes were staring straight into Sakura's the entire time.

Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it for me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me

He started the next verse with a sad smile.

Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' And all I see is you These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh I scream for you Come please I'm callin' And all I need from you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

He started up the chorus again.

Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it for me And I'll leave this life behind Say it if it's worth saving me

Hurry I'm fallin'

Again, he stared at Sakura.

All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh, I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Sasuke slowly closed his eyes and began singing louder.

Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it for me And I'll leave this life behind Say it if it's worth saving me

The music slowly started to fade away, and the crowd started clapping wildly. Sasuke took a bow then left the stage. He returned back at the table to see stunned faces.

"Where the hell did you learn how to sing?" Kiba asked.

All Sasuke did was smirk in response. He was then hugged from behind by Sakura.

She whispered to him, "Please watch me."

Without waiting for his response, she ran off to the DJ to request the music and lyrics she wanted. She too came on the stage and smiled down at everyone. A slow and morose tune played through the room.

I always needed time on my own I'd never thought I'd need you there when I cry And the days feel like years when I'm alone And the bed where you lie Is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face that I came to know is missing too When you're gone All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day And make it okay I miss you

I've never felt this way before Everything that I do Reminds me of you And the clothes you left They lie on the floor And they smell just like you I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day And make it okay I miss you

Sakura glanced over at the table where Sasuke sat as she began to sing the next words.

We were made for each other Out here forever I know we were Yeah,yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know Everything I do I give my heart and soul I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me Yeah

When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear will always get me through the day And make it okay I miss you

The piano slowed to a stop and Sakura took a bow. She came up and sat on Sasuke's lap with an arm draped across his shoulder. She gave him a kiss.

"Love you Sasuke-kun." She whispered.

"And I love you Sakura-chan."

"Oi, get a room people." Kiba said playfully.

Neji stared at the couple with a smile and glanced in Tenten's direction. He looked toward the DJ determinedly.

End chapter

Sorry about cutting into chapters. I could easily keep going, but Tara ask that I split them up. Btw, if you didn't know, those songs were 'Savin Me' and 'When You're Gone'. Please review and tell me what you think!
