Kogane no Hikari

Sasuke tossed his keys onto the table as he walked past. Heading straight for his studio, which was located on the right of his room. He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started writing.

“Yubikara kobore ochita kagayaki no naka ima mo
Toushi wo himeta manazashi asayaka ni utsuru
Kaze no mukou no kotae wo osoreru koto mo naku
Mitsume tsuzuketa kedakasa”

Pausing, he grinned as he remembered the last conversation he had with Kakashi.

`Sasuke, you need to hurry up and write some more songs for your new album. It's been 7 months already. The company's asking about it.'

Sasuke laughed in mirth. Guess all you needed was a girl to inspire you, eh?

“Shinjitsu wa yasashisa to itami no kakera nokoshi
Kono mune wo tsuranuitewa toorisugite yuku
Mijukkuna tenohira ni aru hateshinai ashita wo
Toutoki hito ni sasageyou”

Tossing aside his pen, he leaned over his desk and grabbed his acoustic guitar. Slumping back into his chair, he settled the guitar at the foot of his chair before continuing writing.

“Maeni fumidasu tabi sora wa hiroku
Takaku kanjiru kedo soredemo oikaketai

Kogane no hikari wo
Shinjiru kokoro de
Negaukara”

As he sucked his pen in thought, Sasuke reached for his guitar and started trying out some chords.

“Kizutsuitemo shizukani uketomete yudaneteta
Sadame sae koete susumu rintoshita kiyosa
Nukumori wa kieta keredo kagirinai mirai wo
Itoshiki hito e tsunageyou

Yami ni mayou tabi ni michi wa tooku
Nagaku tsurai keredo nigezuni aruiteyuku

Kogane no hikari ni hajinai tsuyosa wo
Chikaukara

Kogane no hikari wo
Shinjiru kokoro de

Kogane no hikari ni hajinai tsuyosa wo
Chikaukara
Eien wo ano hito ni”

Sasuke laughed, this was definitely one his best songs. As he strummed his guitar, plucking at its strings randomly, the music suddenly played in his head. His fingers unconsciously played along with it as the music flowed from his imagination.

Soft guitar chords drifted out as Sasuke opened his mouth to sing. His voice was no longer as harsh or smooth as before, but was instead gentle and loving. This was one of Sasuke's great gifts in music. He could write a piece of music in a matter of minutes and his music compositions were not limited to any genre. Simply put, Sasuke could write anything, from classical music to heavy rock. Another talent that Sasuke possessed was the ability to adapt to different music. He could play rock like any major rock star yet he could croon love songs as if he were a love sick male. This was what Sasuke was like. Music was his passion and music was a part of his soul.

Sasuke stopped playing his guitar and entered some notes into his keyboard. Swiveling around in his chair, he started up the recording program in his computer. As he pressed the `record' button, he sat back down and pulled the microphone over in front of him. As he started strumming his guitar, he opened his mouth and let loose all the emotions for Sakura in his song.

After one verse, he pressed a button on his keyboard and the piano and drums joined him in his recording.

As he finished his song, he was surprised to find that his eyes were slightly moist. Grumbling to himself, he sent the song to Kakashi along with the translation of the lyrics

“It spilled in the shining which falls it continued to stare from the finger and the look which even now conceals combative spirit either the fact that the answering on the other side of the wind which appears vividly is feared without, it is noble It will lift up the endless tomorrow when as for truth penetrating this chest of the fragment leaving of kindliness and pain, passing, there is an immature palm which keeps to the valuable coming person Each time it advances before as for the sky however you feel widely high even then we would like to chase Because you ask with the soul which believes golden light Being hurt, catching gently, it has entrusted even destiny exceeding, it advances, with it did, it is clear, warm to come however it went out, dearly, it will be able to connect the future which it does not limit to the person At each time it is perplexed to the darkness the road keeps however it is harsh far long, without escaping, walking, Because you swear the strength which is not in golden light With the soul which believes golden light Because you swear the strength which is not in golden light eternity in that person.”

Sasuke slipped into his homeroom and headed straight for the corner desk. Plopping down into his seat, he folded his arms and started drifting off, only to find himself being shaken awake by a hyperactive blonde seconds later.

“HEY SASUKE! ARE YOU OK?”

Sasuke growled irritably. “Dobe, I'm really tired. Leave me alone.”

Naruto smiled at him, “Why are you tired? Did you two stay up or something?”

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched every so slightly. “You loser, stop making stupid comments! I'm tired because I stayed up to record a song last night.”

Naruto beamed at him. “Is it a love song for Sakura?”

Sasuke's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

“What the…no! I don't like her, besides, she's got a boyfriend.”

Naruto pouted. “Oh yeah, forgot about that.”

“Forgot about what?”

The two boys turned around. Sakura was looking at them curiously. She repeated her question again.

“Forgot about what?”

Naruto rubbed at the back of his neck and he grinned sheepishly at his best friend.

“I was just saying that I forgot about you having a boyfriend.”

Sasuke's face darkened ever so slightly, although Naruto and Sakura were to busy laughing to notice.

Sakura's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

“Yeah anyway, I'm meeting him downtown tonight for dinner.”

Naruto grinned. “Another date? You guys are finally getting serious.”

Sakura smiled. “Yes, we are. He's so sweet.”

The blonde gave her the thumbs up. “Well, have fun tonight then.”

The rosette smiled. “I will.” She turned and walked back across the classroom to her seat.

Sasuke growled under his breath and muttered to himself, “Who is this guy?”

Unfortunately, Naruto heard him and slapped him on the back. “That `guy' is not just any guy. He's Itachi Uchiha.”

`Itachi'

`Uchiha'

The words rang in Sasuke's mind

`Itachi'

“What did you just say?”

`Uchiha'

“I said `he's Itachi Uchiha'. Why? Do you know him?”

`Itachi'

`Uchiha'

“WHAT???!!!!”
