Hello my fellow readers! I am happy to announce that the rewritten version of Talent Show is finally up! I didn't want to change the title like I did to 'The Vampire Prince and The Prince' because I felt that Talent Show is the right title and somewhat a good sum up title for the story. Yes, this story revolves around a Talent Show, but it always revolves around truth, lies, love, misunderstandings, bullies, and ect. that usually go on regular daily basis at a typical high school. Maybe not all high schools, but a vast majority have at least a few of what I mentioned.
Okay, I have to admit. I liked the way I went with this story, but I just hated the way I wrote it. I mean, I felt that I was reading more dialogue instead of what was actually happening. The way I write now, I have dialogue and how the people are speaking and acting while talking. The way I did it, it was just them talking and putting he said or she said. Also for place and how people react. I took a shortcut instead of pretending to be there like a stalker and writing down what I was seeing in my imagination. So, I hope there are big improvements in this story. Whoever loved this story and are great critizers or whatever, tell me what was improved or what I still need to improve on. I wii be greatly delighted if anyone does that for me. Anyway, on with the story since I talked too much.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"God, my life sucks," a teenage boy by the name of Sasuke Uchiha shouted with anger while running from a big group of crazed fan girls. They weren't even his fan girls, mind you. He would have already caused suicide if that ever happened. They were someone else's fangirls that is more popular, more handsomer, and more athletic than he would ever be.
Damn fan girls, Sasuke thought while trying to pick up more speed to get away from the obsessed teen girls. Each one was obsessed over the same guy that poor Sasuke liked and they wanted to scratch his eyes out for a stupid reason. "I said I was sorry to him! What else do you want me to do?" the raven shouted over his shoulder while running past the doors to get to the East wing of the school.
"Uchiha," one girl with a high pitched voice shouted not too far from behind Sasuke. Sasuke mentally cursed at how the teachers aren't doing anything to stop the girls.
"We're going to get you for what you did to Naruto – senpai," another girl, whose voice is a little bit lower than the previous girl's and sounded just as angry as she.
"Look, I said that I was sorry to Naruto – san. What else am I to do?" Sasuke shouted back, hoping that he could lose the rapid Naruto fan girls very soon. This has got to be the longest five minutes of my life, the poor teen thought while turning a sharp corner.
"You made him fall," the same girl that first shouted to him stated with hatred in her voice. The poor Uchiha closed his eyes and mustered the strength that he hoped he had to run even faster.
"And plus, he has to forgive your sorry ass," a different girl with a very high pitched voice shouted just s loudly as the thwo other girls. Sasuke groaned at how all this madness had even started.
Flashback
Sasuke was walking the halls of his high school. His high school was Konoha High School, one of the best high schools in the world. Well, in Sasuke's opinion it was. There was only one reason for Konoha High School to be the best. Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto Uzumaki was roughly around 6' 2". He had the most gorgeous cerulean blue eyes you could ever imagine and the most amazing blonde spiky hair that anyone can mistake for the sun. Six whisker marks, three on each side, gave him a tough edge look. He had a fine muscle toned body, making him the ex - captain of the football team because football season is over and he'll be graduating by the end of the school year. Everyone that loves Naruto all love one thing in common. His smile. One look and you could melt right in front of him.
Sasuke sighed, as he fantasies of being with Naruto are slim to none. Naruto is the straightest person out there, Sasuke thought while walking into the bathroom. The raven went to the sinks and frowned when he saw his reflection in the mirror.
Sasuke is exactly 5' 7" and weighed 147 pounds. His hair is pitch black with a hint of blue because of his hair gel he uses to put the spikes on the back of his head. He gets made fun of because his spiky hair looks like a duck's ass. The Uchiha's eyes, like his family, are an onyx color, making him seem evil or emo. He had more of a feminine type body, thanks to his mother. All and all, everyone in Konoha High School thinks he's emo.
Walking out of the bathroom, Sasuke took out his schedule. He scanned it to see what his last class was. English with Orochimaru. How great, Sasuke thought while putting his schedule back to where it was. A quick visit to my locker would be nice. I can ditch my pre – cal and history books.
While walking to his locker, Sasuke heard a lot of sighs and squeals coming from the corner of the hall. Being the curious Uchiha that he is, the teen turned the corner and bumped into someone. The poor brunette fell back and all his books fell to the ground. There were a lot of grasps of horror, much to the Uchiha's demise.
"Dude, are you okay?" a deep yet handsome voice asked Sasuke. With Sasuke lying on the ground, he was able to hear the other person picking up his dropped books.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Sorry for bumping into you," Sasuke said apologetically while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. Sasuke looked up to see who he was apologizing to and his jaw almost dropped when he was that it was none other than Naruto Uzumaki. The brunette wanted to faint because Naruto was giving him one of his beautiful smiles. Shit! If I bumped into Naruto, then that means, Sasuke shouted to himself while trying not to melt from Naruto's smile. The Uchiha quickly looked behind Naruto and saw all of his fan girls cracking their knuckles.
"It's fi…" Naruto tries saying, but was quickly and rudely interrupted.
"Sasuke Uchiha! You are so dead," a random girl from within the big crowd shouted angrily towards a certain raven. The said person gulped at the size of the crowd, knowing he was dead if any of them touched him
"Thanks for my books," Sasuke quickly said while getting up and grabbing his books from Naruto. "See ya around, Naruto – senpai," he shouted over his shoulder while running for his dead life. Naruto watched Sasuke running from him dumbfoundedly. Shrugging, the blonde started to walk to his locker, not knowing that he gave his fan girls full access to hunt and injure Sasuke.
Flashback Ends
Why am I the one victimized? Sasuke sadly thought while still running from the crazed and obsessed fan girls. I know that Naruto is an angel sent from above, but wanting to kill me will achieve them nothing!
Sasuke groaned when he heard the first bell for the last class rang. He heard some girls leaving the group to go to their next class. Sasuke didn't want to stop running because he didn't want to chance his life in case if there was some girls still chasing him.
Being tardy once to Orochimaru – sensei's class won't kill me. Plus, the teacher likes me in more ways in one, the raven thought while shuddering at the last part.
"Sasuke – kun? Why are you still running?" someone asked the teen while he was still running. The raven stopped completely and started grasping for air. Thus kid is strange, the person thought while walking to Sasuke.
"Naruto's fan girls were chasing me during the whole passing time," Sasuke answered in between breaths. The Uchiha then looked over his shoulder to see who he was talking to, but quickly turned back before a blush could've formed on his face.
"My fan girls can be scary. They even scare me from time to time," Naruto told Sasuke with a small chuckle. The bell for all final classes for the day rang and both boys didn't even care. Being a little late to the hebi's class wouldn't hurt, Naruto thought while watching Sasuke gain his composure. "Want me to walk you to your next class?"
"Um… Yeah. Thanks," Sasuke said in a bit of a shock. Does he know that we have Orochimaru together?
"Cool! What class do you have next?" the blonde asked with his trade mark fox grin. That caused Sasuke's insides to melt.
"I have English with Orochimaru," the brunette answered with a slight frown. Dammit, Sasuke! Pull yourself together! You can't have an emotional breakdown right in front of Naruto Uzumaki! Naruto Uzumaki of all people, Sasuke scolded himself while trying to give a small smile towards Naruto.
"Sweet! We have to the same class together," Naruto exclaimed with a bigger grin. That statement made Sasuke's heart break.
"yeah. I'm always quiet in his class," the Uchiha said with a fake smile. Naruto didn't notice. I'm always quiet because of that damned hebi, Sasuke thought while mentally groaning.
"Let's go," Naruto shouted happily while grabbing Sasuke's wrist. That action caused Sasuke to blush. Before the brunette knew it, he was being dragged, though he wasn't complaining, to Orochimaru's class. I can't get another detention from Orochimaru – sensei or else Aunt Tsunade will have my head, Naruto thought while dragging Sasuke to Orochimaru's class.
It took the duo a few minutes to get to Orochimaru's class. Naruto entered the class first and got a full, evil glare from Orochimaru. Shortly after, Sasuke entered next to Naruto and Orochimaru's glared softened towards Sasuke.
"You're both five minutes late. I'm in a generous mood, so I'll let you both slide," Orochimaru said while facing his class with his arms crossed. The duo nodded and took their respectful seats in the class.
"Good afternoon, teachers and students. This is your principal, Tsunade speaking," Tsunade, principal of Konoha High School, exclaimed over the intercom. Naruto groaned and banged his head on the desk, but Orochimaru shushed him with a glare. "As you all know, the Spring Dance is coming up in a month. As for all you seniors, that's great news because graduation is two weeks after that," the principal said with more enthusiasm. Naruto and all the rest of the seniors in the building cheered in delight, but Orochimaru gave Naruto a stern look, making the poor blonde quiet immediately. "Also, the twentieth annual talent show is coming up in three weeks. For the one person I know that will wanna bend this rule, listen carefully! You can sign up as single, duo, or tio, but that's it, Naruto!" Naruto blushed at Tsunade's remark about him to the entire school. "Signs ups end on Friday and rehearsals will be a few days before the actually show. That's all for today and see you all tomorrow!"
"Tch. I'll be seeing that hag later on today," Naruto said quietly, hoping that Orochimaru didn't hear. Some of the junior's around him started to snicker at what he said, making the blonde grin.
"Naruto Uzumaki! What did I just say?" Orochimaru shouted while tapping his foot impatiently.
"Umm… I don't know. Something about sentence structures?" Naruto answered unsurely. Maybe if I cross my fingers, luck will come and I won't get a detention, the blonde thought while crossing his fingers under his desk.
"Detention," Orochimaru shouted while going to his desk to fill out a detention form. Luck wasn't coming anytime soon to poor Naruto.
---
English seemed to have dragged all too slowly for both Naruto and Sasuke. Once the bell rang, Naruto was the first one out, but ran back into the class when he saw his fan club. Some of the kids laughed while others felt sorry for the poor senior. This gave Sasuke the opportunity he needed to actually talk with Naruto.
"Naruto – senpai, can I you come here?" Sasuke said while motioning Naruto come to him. A confused Naruto went over to Sasuke, who in turn, started to get butterflies in his stomach. He's coming towards me. Naruto Uzumaki is actually coming towards me, Sasuke thought wildly while trying to hold down a blush.
"Ye…" Naruto started to say, but was unintentionally interrupted by a very angry blonde principal. Fate seemed not to be on Sasuke's side.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI," Tsunade shouted over the intercom. Everyone that was still in the school had to cover their ears from the screechy noises coming from the intercom. Once those subsided, Naruto was in for the worst. "GET YOUR ASS INTO MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW!" Naruto gulped and prayed to any God that he won't get killed by his aunt.
"We'll talk late, Sasuke – kun," Naruto said before leaving for his doom.
The raven sighed at his fate while grabbing all his things before leaving Orochimaru's class. Just my luck that Naruto would get in trouble, he thought while going to his locker. Maybe tomorrow.
---
The young blonde was shaking at the door in front of him. His fate was behind that door. His life was behind that door. A lot of things was behind that door. But, consequently, his aunt, principal of Konoha High School, is behind that door.
To make matters worse, he secretary, also her deceased lover's niece, Shizune, was telling Naruto to go in. Naruto knows better from freshmen year to not listen to Shizune. Once Naruto enters that room, all hell will break lose. He will be lucky to make it out alive.
But, Naruto is a man. He turned into an adult almost six months ago. He should be able to stand up to his aunt. Bravely, Naruto slowly opened the door, but closed it immediately when he saw a vase full of orange flowers came flying towards him.
"Get your fucking ass in here now, gaki," Tsunade shouted in anger that can make mountain lions cower in a corner. Naruto was shaking in fear, knowing what his aunt is gonna do to him when he enters that dreaded office. Once the poor blonde entered the office, Naruto had to dodge a small pot full of Sakura flowers. "What is the meaning of this detention? It's your fifth one since Spring break ended and that was two weeks ago," Tsunade shouted angrily towards her nephew.
"Orochimaru – sensei hates me. I think he's prejudice against Japanese people! He always catches me instead of the others in his class," Naruto quickly explained nervously so that his aunt won't throw anything else. The older blonde sat down behind her desk and motioned for Naruto to sit down across from her.
"Naruto, he is not prejudice against Japanese people or else he would have done something to Sasuke Uchiha. Also, you're not full Japanese. You're also French too," Tsunade tried to explain while rubbing her temples for an oncoming headache.
"Easy for you to say, baa – chan. You're full French, so you have nothing to worry about from that hebi," Naruto shot back while crossing his arms and pouting.
"Anyway, I thought putting you in that junior English class would be easy for you and hopefully give you fewer detentions, Naruto," Tsunade started while still rubbing her temples.
"You also didn't have to put me in pre – cal again. Just regular math, English, gym, art and the rest study halls would have been great, but no. You had to give me those two classes again," Naruto complained while glaring at his aunt.
"As I was saying," Tsunade started while glaring at her nephew, who immediately shut up and shrunk in his seat. "You shouldn't be getting these detentions this easily."
"Orochimaru – sensei hates me. He only likes one student in his class and it's a junior. Oh wait; it's an all junior class, but still! I don't even know who it is," Naruto exclaimed while waving his arms up and down in the air wildly. Tsunade just rolled her eyes at her nephew's actions.
"I'll take away this last detention for the last time. Next time, I'll have your head," Tsunade said while crossing her arms and glaring at the poor blonde in front of her.
"Thanks, Aunt Tsunade," Naruto exclaimed with a grin. The teen jumped out of his chair in excitement and hugged his aunt before leaving. "I'm off! See ya tonight!"
"Whatever, Mr. Prince," Tsunade said with a smirk. Naruto threw a grin over his shoulder before leaving the office. I wonder how he got that nickname, Tsunade thought while taking out her imported hidden sake and started to drink it. This sake is good. I'm happy that Kushina suggested it for her and my brother's wedding. Anyway, back to the question. Now I remember how he got it. I'm the principal, making me the "queen" of Konoha High School and since Naruto is blood related to me, he's the "prince" of this school. The nicknames these kids come up with.
Tsunade took another sip of her sake while turning her chair to look out the window. She smiled when she saw her nephew walking to his car. Slowly looking up at the sky, she hoped that her younger brother is proudly looking down at his son. Your son is almost off to college, Minato. He's growing up right before our eyes, it's heartbreaking. Soon, he'll be on his own, Tsunade thought while turning back to her desk and saw a picture of her late brother with Naruto and his late wife. Naruto is the spitting image of you. Just minus the whisker marks of course. But, he has the beautiful personality of his mother, Kushina, making him the perfect son for both of us, Minato. Yes, it's certainly heartbreaking.
Okay, so you know a little bit about Naruto, Sasuke, and Tsunade, but you'll learn more later. I know I added a lot of stuff to the first chapter already, but adding more give you all more to read, right? Also, I am still hoping that most of you will review saying what is better about the story or what still has to be improved. Yeah, I know, I repeat a lot, but I'm just repeating so you all won't forget.
Okay, so far I somewhat told you that Naruto's parents are dead and that he lives with Tsunade, but I hope you all remembered that from the first time. I hope all you readers got that Naruto is a senior and Sasuke is a junior. I think this will give a small edge onto their relationship. I'm keeping Sakura and Gaara the same, even though I just recently started liking those too. Ugh! This will be hard to keep Sakura a slut and wanting to do whatever it takes to be with Naruto. I'm also keeping my second favorite kunoichi, Ino, as a bitch too. Like I said, this will be hard, but whatever. I like challenges.
Also, right when I'm don't babbling, I will be working on my story, Sasuke, then Troubled Prince, then Why Us (Kingdom hearts fanfic), and then this again. Yeah! I am soon going to be working on a Naruto Harry Potter crossover, but I'll wait until I got everything sorted out. That may take a while since school started and all that fun stuff. Ugh! Fuck my life. School came back! I hate school! Anyway, going back to topic, the only time I am able to write will be late at night. Yippie. That'll go until October, Novemberish. Soon, I am scheduling this story to come out somewhere around a month. THE LASTEST!!! So, if a month passed and this is still not up, please pm me yelling, scolding, whatever you can come up with to tell me that I need to work on this fic.
Till next chapter!
