Disclaimer No Jutsu: I do not own Naruto nor the song 'Simple and Clean - Utada Hikaru'

Summary: Kakashi and Gai decides to take their teams, along with Team 8 and Team 9, out, just to have fun. Boredom brings out the best of the teens. Noticing an empty Karaoke Stage, what will happen?

A Ninja's Night Out

Emerald eyes, peer through the rims of a wooden table, as strawberry pink hair reflected from the light. "I'm so bored!" Sakura exclaimed. She couldn't hold in her boredom, she had to let it out. Sakura was sitting infront of an empty karaoke bar, bored wishing somone would do somthing.

"I'm sorry." Hinata said who was sitting a seat away from Sakura. Separating them was Naruto who was eating a bowl of ramen, visciously. Hinata twiddled her fingers as her pale eyes gaze onto the empty stage. She lightly fidgeted in her seat, getting a small 'nervous-wreck' from sitting next to Naruto.

"Oi, Somone do somthing!" Ino exclaimed, "Kakashi and Gai-sensei took us to treat us here, and we're bored half to death." She flipped her bang out of her eye and gazed at Sasuke with her sapphire blue eyes, then she turned back to her team-mates, who were too, bored. Not even Chouji was eating, too bored to eat, we're all guessing.

"Boredom is so..." Shikamaru began, "Troublesome..." he finished off, with a loud yawn. He attepmted holding his head up with his right arm, looking around the room, boredly. Hardly anyone was there, and good thing it was Family Night at the bar, or the teens would of already of been kicked out.

"Arf! Arf!" Akamaru barked, sitting upon Kiba's head. He too was bored. White fur a bit off-white, now, espicially after he rolled around in the dirt. Kiba took him down and placed him on his lap. Akamaru look at his master, "Arf!" he barked. He turned himself torwards the empty karaoke stage.

"Yeah, yeah." Kiba said to Akamaru, "I'm bored too." he gave off a yawn, just as Shikamaru did and scratched behind Akamaru's ears boredly. He turned to Shino, "Hey Shino! 'Sup?" Kiba asked, trying to get somone to do somthing. Shino peered through his dark glasses, doing nothing. As usual, he remained silent. "Ugh. Fine! Be that way." Kiba said in digust, turning his back to Shino. Kiba waited for Shino to say somthing, but he didn't. A sound of fist slamming the table, echoed through the room as Tenten stood up out of her seat.

"Thats it! ARGH! Where the heck is Gai-sensei!" Tenten exclaimed. Before she knew it, she got an answer.

"Right here, Tenten. Eh, what do you want?" He asked.

"What do I want! Gai-sensei. These children are dieing from boredom, here. I mean, is it even illegal to be even this bored? Wouldn't this be a form of child abuse! If so, Somone need to talk with me and my shuriken." Tenten said all in one breath. Gai took a step back, from his angered student, hands waving in mercy.

"Okay Tenten, no need to get violent."

"Gai-sensei! The youth is draining out of the place. We must do somthing... In The Power Of Youth!" Lee roared, tossing both of his fist in the air. He joined Gain in doing strong 'Superman poses' with Gai. "I have an idea! Gai-sensei, lets treat everyone with Karaoke.

"Yes! Karaoke that will bring the youth out of everyone!" Gai said, "Any volenteers?" he asked. At that, everyone faced their backs torwards Gai and Lee. Silence filled the room, uneasily. Lee turned to Gai with all of his pride.

"Gai-sensei, it seems that our comrades don't want to bring out the youth that need to be spreaded. Therefore, I shall pick out a person from the group, using my knowledge." Lee said, with energy.

"Yes! Thats the youthful thing!" Gai praised. "Go pick out the chosen one!"

"Yes, Gai-sensei, I shall!"

At that, Neji's face turned purple. Last time, when Lee used his 'knowledge' to pick somone out of a group, Neji was the first victem. No questions, please. Lets just say, it's better that we don't know what Neji had to do. Lee paced the group of teens, trying to decide who is the first bait. He scratched his chin and watched the group. Tension builded slowly. Lee closed his eyes and randomly pionted to a person, he opened his eyes.

"Hinata!" Lee exclaimed, "You shall be the first."

"Uhh, umm, wait!" Before Hinata could do anything else, Lee grabbed her hand and pulled her on stage. He setted up the equiptment and spoke into the mircophone.

"AHEM! Lady and gentlemen, sorry for the interuption but my youthful friend has volunteered to give us some karaoke, enjoy!" Lee spoke into the mircophone and handed it over to Hinata and darted off the stage. Everyone peered over at Hinata (In a positive way) waiting for her to sing.

"Oh! I must pick a song." She wasn't wearing her normal clothes, every day clothes that she wore at the academy. She wore a lacey, light blue shirt along with kahki pants. She scrolled down the list of songs to pick. After a moment, she had finally picked one. She stood infront of the so-called, crowd. Pale eyes gazed around the room, why does a couple of people look like, so many?

"Whoo! Go Hinata!" Naruto cheered, giving her confidence. Hinata smiled at the crowd as the music began. Lighting dimmed and spotlight was on her.

Oh-woh

Yeah

The song beagn picking up it's beat, she looked around the room, nervously. Hinata held the mircophone to her mouth and began singing.

You're giving me

Too many things

L-lately

Hinata noticed that she was stuttering. She tried to keep her mind off the crowd, yet tried to make eye contact with the people, she continued singing.

You're all I need,

You smiled at me

and said

She noticed people smiling at her and tapping a the beat. Hinata began swaying her hips lightly from side to side.

'Don't get me wrong I love you

But does that mean I have to meet

Your father?'

When you are older you will understand

What I ment when I said 'No.'

I don't think life is quite that simple

Hinata had finally got into the beat. She began to do a small dance, over the music she heard her peers and friends, cheering her on. Hinata smiled and picked up the volume on her voice, even though it was already good enough.

When you walk away

You don't hear me say

'Please, oh baby, don't go!'

Simple and clean

Is the way you're making me feel tonight

And it's hard to let go.

About now, Hinata's moving to the beat and smiling widely. Her stage fright had ceased and now she's pretty much carefree. Even a couple of people, grooved in their seats, awhile Hinata's performence.

Hold me

Whatever lied beyond this morning

Is alittle later on

Regardless of warnings

The future dosn't scare me at all

Nothings like before

(Repeat)

Hold me

Whatever lies beyong this morning

Is a little later on

Regardless of warnings

The future dosn't scare me at all

Nothing's like before

The song died away slowly, as the lights came back to it's place. She got a couple of claps. She felt happy at the fact that she did somthing, on her own. She smiled and gave a small bow, "Thank you!" She said and skipped down the stage and back to her seat.

"Hinata! That looked fun!" Sakura exclaimed, putting a hand on Hinata's back. Hinata looked at Sakura and smiled.

"Oh it was!" She clapped, "You should try it too!" Hinata suggested. Sakura laughed and shook her head, rejecting the offer.

"Sorry Hinata." She began, "Me and crowds don't really get along. Ya know?" Hinata nodded her head, agreeing with Sakura. "Maybe when I'm older. I might have more courage then."

"Hmph!" A voice said from the stage. "I don't know about you, forehead girl..." Ino stood upon the stage, and brushed her short hair off of her shoulders. She too was wearing different clothing than usual. Her, now short hair is usually kepted down. She wore a red sleeveless shirt, with a flower design in the middle, along with a black skirt. "But I'm going to sing. Of course Sasuke, would like a girl who sings for him." She smirked, "And that will be me."

Sakura was now in her demonic mode, "Oh no, it's on now." she said and rolled the long sleeves of her white sweater up to her elbows. "We'll see who's better." she growled.

"Umm, so does that mean you're going to sing, Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked, with happiness in her voice. Sakura nodded vigorously and held herself down, from strangling Ino. Meanwhile, as Ino was attempting to flirt with Sasuke, Shikamaru and Chouji watched their teammate take the stage.

"Troublesome, this is so embarresing." Shikamaru sighed and stared blankly at the cieling then back to earth. Chouji nodded and began muching on a bag of chips.

"Yeah, that Ino, she doesn't know when to stop does she?"

"Hmm..." Ino's eyes looked at the list of songs to choose from, "Lets see, which one will Sasuke like? No.. too slow. Eww, too beaty. I need somthing where I can dance to." She commented nearly every song that passed her finger on the list. "Ah!" Ino exclaimed, randomly and happyily, "That one!" She pressed the botton for the song and spun around, holding the microphone in one hand, and the other hung loosely besides her.

Woot! Anyone ready for round 2?

Mew, I hope you guys enjoyed this! I've always thought that the Naruto Gang singing and Karaoking would be fun. No, this whole story isn't going to be ONLY karaoke, there will be other activities later on. Yes, Ino's next, Yeah! This is gonna be fun. Hinata singing 'Simple and Clean - Utada Hikaru' was fun for me to write. I could see her do that, can't you? Anyways, any ideas or suggestions just tell me, I'm open for any opinions or advise. Chapter two comming right up. Please review!

Note: The song 'Simple and Clean - Utada Hikaru' is also known from the game, Kingdom Hearts. The one that Hinata was singing was the fast beaty one, or the theme, I should say.
