Disclaimer: I do not own anything that is or has antything to so with Naruto. Nor do I own any song material or any other copyrighted things that might be mentioned further on in the story.

Author's Note: Under the advice of my beta who won't shut the hell up about my previous author's note, I've rewritten it.

I am Lalaith Weasley, and I am part of the writing troupe called "The Dreamers of Dreams". For more information on this writing troupe please click the link above to view the profile. It's pretty rubbish though.

This Disclaimer/Author's Note applies to this and all future chapters.

This fanfic is classified AU High School.

Warnings are: suicidal thoughts and actions, prostitution, drug abuse, rape, amongst other upleasantries. Now seeing as how this will be the one and only author's note, be wary of upcoming chapters if none of this has been seen. Read with caution.

That's it. Review if you like. Flame if you like.

If there are any questions that you might have (like any background info that isn't put into the fanfic and you would like to know about) send review or message stating your question and I will answer it. Even if your just being an ass, you will get a reply.

And because Fanfiction (dot) net is wary of deleting fanfics with chapters that are only author's notes, I wrote a has-nothing-to-do-with-anything skit.

"All the world's a stage and we are the players."

All eyes landed on Shino.

"Uh... what?" Shikamaru asked.

"Just rehearsing my lines before the show," he replied.

Ino raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. That's not weird."

"It's not even a show," Temari pointed out. "It's a story."

"Both have audiences, correct?" Shino questioned.

Temari shifted under his gaze. "Not really..."

"You ever wonder why the green room isn't green?" Naruto wondered out loud.

"Will you shut up?! You've already asked that!" Sakura growled at him.

"But no one's answered me yet!"

"THAT'S BECAUSE NO ONE CARES!"

"I CARE!"

"NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT!"

"I kind of care," Hinata muttered.

"Hinata likes Naruto!"

"She does not!" exclaimed Kiba.

"Kiba likes Hinata!"

"He does not!" shouted Tenten.

"Tenten likes Kiba!"

"Nobody likes Kiba!" yelled Gaara. "Now shut up."

Everyone inside the green room was quiet. The only thing heard was the ticking of the clock on the wall. Until...

"You ever wonder why the green room isn't green?"

(Outside the green room)

Kakashi approached the door to inform them that the "show" would soon be taking place. He reached for the handle but before he could turn, a deafining crash was heard from the other side. Followed by what sounded like punches and random objects being thrown back and forth.

'Now any sensible and responsible adult would barge in there and put a stop to whatever's going on in there immediately,' Kakashi thought.

He walked away.

'Too bad there's not one of those around.'

(Inside the green room)

Naruto layed knocked out on the floor after he failed to dodge a flower vase because he had just dodged a lamp thrown by Sasuke.

"Well there goes one of the main cycle members," said Sasuke.

"It didn't help that you threw the lamp," Shikamaru told him.

"He should have just stayed quiet."

Collective sighs were heard around the room.

Suddenly, Kankuro thought of something.

"Aren't green rooms only for talk shows?"
