Now or Never!
Chapter 1: You're Late!
By: The Demonic Ninjas 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!
Summary: It's party time in Konoha because the loveable Gaara's back in town to celebrate his birthday. But all this occurs just after the wonderful shinobi of Konoha were trying to track down the most notorious Akatsuki members, Itachi and Kisame. So much stuff is happening that everyone gets tied into the mix. What will happen to everyone when they find out Itachi's in their karaoke room? Pairings: NejiTen, SasuSaku, NaruHina…maybe more
Author's Notes:
This is a REVISED version of my first. I had skimmed through it awhile back and decided that it needed some SERIOUS work. So I took it off and fixed it up. Originally it was in a script format but now it's actually more like a story. Now that I have more experience in writing fanfiction I hope I have improved it :D
Ok, in this fanfic all the characters are 10 years older. They are all currently either ANBU or ANBU Captain. All the geniuses; Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, Shino and Temari are ANBU… well ok, not all of them are geniuses, but they're the smartest on each team… I think…
Pairings: Tenten X Neji, Sasuke X Sakura,Hinata X Naruto(perhaps more)

---------- next scene
It was a cold but beautiful day in Konhoa, January the 19th. The snow had settled and it looked almost untouched and …
"Uchiha Itachi!" yelled a raven-haired ANBU Captain. His bangs were flying around as per usual. With all the 'we-must-chase-this-renegade-ninja-to-the-end' stuff, it had totally ruined his 'precious hair'. Of course his face wasn't visible because it was covered with an ANBU snake mask. (a/n: errr I'm assuming it has two slit nostrils and big snake-like eyes)
"Now, now little brother, do you really think you can beat me? Well, I guess you are an ANBU captain… -sigh- give it your best shot." said the Akatsuki member named "Uchiha Itachi".
A young blonde ANBU with a fox mask looked at his watch. "err… Sasuke, we're late!"
Sasuke switched his attention to his blonde colleague, "WHAT! You're not serious are you, Naruto!"
Naruto gave Sasuke a 'reality-check-of-course-I'm-serious' look and nodded.
Sasuke grunted, " Itachi, you may be able to escape my wrath today, but beware, for I shall execute my revenge soon!"
And with that Team 7 left the S-ranked Missing Ninja in the winter wonderland.
'You should have killed me then. Foolish little Sasuke, I guess he'll never be able to execute his revenge. Hmmmm… now what could Sasuke-kun being doing that could be SO urgent that he would post-pone his revenge…Could it be a date! …no he's too full of himself to have a girlfriend … oh well I'll just follow him.'
And with that Itachi performed the fukashi no jutsu (a/n: invisibility jutsu, he learned that off another ninja)
And slowly he followed his 'foolish' little brother. But little did he know where his brother would have been going on this cold winter day.
Meanwhile
"Tenten to the right, Lee to the left!" yelled an ANBU Captain with unreasonably long dark hair which was tied into a ponytail. The man wore a bird-faced ANBU mask.
"Okay…" replied the female Anbu
"Roger!" exclaimed the other
"Now you can't possibly think you can beat me now Hyuuga-boy" said the blue Akatsuki member with a massive sword that was covered with bandages.
"argh… we'll see about that… errr … what's you're name again…" said the ANBU Captain
"Blue-faced man. Neji! I can't believe you didn't know that " said the female ANBU named Tenten.
"Watch your mouth pom-pom girl! My name is Hoshigaki Kisame, an honorable member of the Akatsuki Organisation AND an S-ranked Ninja from the Mist." stated Kisame proudly.
"errr… 'Kisame' I can't watch my mouth because it's below my nose…"
"WHY YOU! Trying to be cunning aren't we little girl! Well I'll teach you a lesson you'll NEVER forget!"
Lee suddenly looked at his watch, "errr guys… We're late you guys!"
Neji turned to his target, " Kisame we'll be back!"
"Fine it's a date"
"deal" replied the Hyuuga prodigy
Suddenly Tenten jumped into the conversation, "EWWWWWW! I'm not dating an ugly, blue, wrinkly, shark looking dude! EWWWWW NOOOO WAYYYYY!"
Neji rolled his eyes, "Tenten you're my girlfriend! Why would I make you go out with him… or maybe I should…"
Tenten, who totally misinterpreted his statement, (she thought he was talking about himself) replied, "WHAT! ARE YOU GAY!"
The stoic boy's face cracked, "What! Are you insulting me! The most talented Hyuuga!"
Lee attempted to break up the fight, "Will you guys stop arguing! …" All of a sudden Lee felt a killing atmosphere envelope him "…Never mind let's just go…"
And with that, Gai's talented taijutsu team disappeared leaving Kisame clueless in the pure white snow.
At Destination… Karaoke bar!
-Panting-
"So you've finally arrived…" stated a blonde female teen as she sat lazily on the sofa, her blonde pigtails were tied perfectly.
"I was getting bored… oh and you know the rules…" smiled the red-haired sand master, also known as THE BIRTHDAY BOY!
Suddenly, everyone who wasn't late sang in chorus "Whoever is last, must sing first!"
The late shinobi stared at their companions and began to wonder, "Why are they singing in chorus?"
"And so who's singing first?" questioned Gaara, a birthday hat was slipping off his head. It wasn't like he really wanted it on anyways. I mean he's 25 years old! But Temari insisted, so he followed suit.
"NEJI!" replied everyone in excitement
"huh? Why me? Both my team and Sasuke's were late AND we arrived at the same time!"
"Give it a shot. I'm sure it's not THAT bad, Neji-kun." smiled Tenten
And with only two words 'Neji' and 'Kun', and perhaps that it was Tenten who told him to sing, Neji gave in and decided to sing one of his favourite songs that described his true feelings –"Numb" by Linkin Park.
Neji looked around and saw Hinata. "Good" thought Neji, "I'll show her how my life feels." A small smirk crept across his face.
