Kazuko: Hi! Kazuko-chan here! Hehe… sorry if I haven't updated for a while. Well, since the exams are finished (finally…) I can freely do anything I want

Chapter Dedicated to: My Classmates, (Ma-mi-miss ko ang section 3!) Friends from school, (I'll miss ya guys), readers D

Recap of the last chapter:

"Oh, you mean that guy with pearly white eyes and long hair?" Tenten nodded "Anyway, go to sleep… you're going to record this tomorrow…"

"Okay…"

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the song Sweet Misery. It belongs to Michelle Branch

Chapter 3 – First Song

It was 5am in the morning. The sun shone brightly, the azure sky was simply beautiful. Tenten woke up extra early by the request of Magumi. She groaned as she dragged herself in the bathroom

While she was eating, she heard a car's honk. Tenten sighed as she went outside just to see Magumi's car.

"Hurry up, Tenten! We're still gonna go shopping" Magumi said

"Uhm… shopping?" Tenten looked at her puzzled

Magumi went out of the car and pulled Tenten to her car "Yes, you don't expect me to see you there looking like that" she pointed to Tenten's training usual training attire.

Tenten sighed "I guess not…"

-

In the end, Tenten was wearing a blue off-shoulder top, embroidered jeans, butterfly earrings, and sneakers

Tenten sighed and went to the car "I look like an idiot going to a party" she muttered

"No you don't" Magumi replied "Now, let's go"

-

When they got to the recording studio, Mr. Takayuma was waiting for them

"Hello Tenten, Magumi" He said giving them a smile

"Hello Mr. Takayuma" they bowed

-

"Tenten, this is Mr. Daichi Shiawase. Daichi, this is Tenten. She's gonna record her son today" Magumi introduced

Tenten bowed "Nice to meet you, sir"

"Nice to meet you, Tenten-san. Are you ready?" Tenten nodded "Okay…"

-

Somewhere in the forest of Konoha, Neji has no choice at all but to train with Lee since Tenten's gone. He sighed as he looked at the beat up Lee in the corner.

"Now, let's listen to a new star of Summit Productions, Tenten, as she sings her first song 'Sweet Misery'" the radio announcer said

'Tenten? What is she–' Neji was quite shocked when she heart the name 'Tenten' but he still kept his emotionless look

"I was lost

And you were found

You seemed to stand on solid ground"

Neji pretended to meditate but in fact he was listening to Tenten. Lee, on the other hand, was looking like this: O.O

"I was weak

And you were strong

And me and my guitar,

We strummed along, oh

Sweet misery you cause me

That's what you called me

Sweet misery you cause me"

By this time, Lee's face was looking like this: XD He was cheering for Tenten as if he was one of her fan boys

"I was blind

But oh, how you could see

You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me

I would cry

And you would smile

You'd stay with me a little while

Sweet misery you cause me

That's what you called me

Sweet misery you cause me"

Neji's lips formed a tiny smile. He seems to be enjoying simply listening to her sing.

"And in my heart I see, oh

What you're doing to me

And in my heart I see, oh

Just how you wanted it to be

Sweet misery

Oh, whoa

Sweet misery you cause me

That's what you called me

Sweet misery you cause me

And in my heart I see, oh

What you're doing to me

And in my heart I see, oh

Just how you wanted it to be

Sweet misery

I was weak

And you were strong

And me and my guitar,

we strummed along"

To Be Continued

Neji: At least I was shown .

Kazuko: Yay! He isn't mad at me!

Neji: Whatever… -.-

Tenten:

Kazuko: -checks script- Oh… Neji, bad news. You won't be shown next chapter. It's only gonna be Tenten, Yume, and Magumi.

Neji: -sighs- Fine… At least I'll have a break FAAAAARRR away from you…
