A Konoha Concert
Chapter 1: Guess What?
"Oi, Kakashi-sensei, what's going on? Why are we meeting with these losers when we should be training?" Uzumaki Naruto's voice filled the room. Haruno Sakura just hid her face and moved away, while Uchiha Sasuke smacked him upside the head. The other occupants in the room just ignored him. They were used to Naruto's big mouth and common insults. He looked around and saw Yuriko Tenten with her ankle bandaged. "Oi, Tenten! What'd ya do, try to pick a fight with a five-year-old?"
"Shut up, Naruto! My ankle may be unusable for right now, but you are still within throwing range!" Tenten yelled. She pulled out four ninja needles and attached him to the wall behind him all within the span of about 2 seconds. "Just so you know," she purred. She was sitting with her foot propped up on a pillow, a large bandage wrapped around it, crutches sitting nearby. While training with teammate Hyuuga Neji, he had tackled her out of a tree, falling with her, and had prevented her from landing correctly. Now her ankle was sprained very badly and Neji looked minorly guilt ridden. Tenten's other teammate, Rock Lee, continually admonished Neji if Tenten got up to get anything. Lee would force Tenten to sit back down and make Neji fetch whatever she had wanted. Tenten protested, but Neji just scoffed and then got whatever it was.
On the other side of the room, Neji's cousin, Hyuuga Hinata and her teammates Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino were playing a new card game that Hinata had learned. It was called Egyptian Ratscrew, and it was a very fast paced and interesting game. Kiba's dog, Akamaru, just sat in his owner's hoodie, sleeping. Standing nearby, shyly playing with her large fan, was Temari of the Hidden Village of Sand. When the current game ended, Temari, blushing slightly, asked if she could join in. When Shino turned to her and said yes, she blushed deeper, but tried to hide it. She sat and the game began again.
Temari's two brothers, Kankurou and Gaara, had split the second they'd walked in the door. Kankurou was polishing Karasu and telling Akimichi Choji how it worked. Choji would nod often, and he was even sharing his chips, which was an amazing thing in and of itself.
Gaara was standing alone in a corner, facing everyone. He seemed not to be too interested in anything, but when Temari looked at him, she noticed that he was staring at something while trying not to be noticed. When Temari followed his eyes, they lay on the young kunoichi with her ankle wrapped. Temari smiled. Interesting.
Choji looked over at his other two teammates. Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru were actually involved in a very deep game of Go. Shikamaru had taught Ino how to play one day, and she had fallen in love with the game. Now, the two of them had regular Go nights, where they met to play. Choji smiled. He saw what was happening and he figured it was about damn time.
Sakura and Sasuke went and sat down, starting a game of rummy. They were talking without much difficulty to each other, which everyone thought was good. While they had decided that dating wasn't a great idea right now, they were very close friends.
Kakashi finished his sweep of the room, then went into the next room to chat with his peers.
A little while later, Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, Gai and Baki came out of the back room. Kakashi clapped his hands.
"May I have your attention, please? We have an announcement."
Everyone looked up from what they were doing. Even Akamaru woke up.
"As you all know, we called you here for a reason. And I don't think that we should wait any longer to tell you." Kakashi's eye moved up in a grin. "You, all of you, are going to be in a singing concert."
Ryu: Alright, I know it's crap...but it's just the beginning...it's going to get better, trust me...{sobs}
Gaara: Just say you trust her to shut her up...please?
Ryu: I promise that I will update BOTH stories by Tuesday at the latest...and I might even have another one to put up...Just stick it out with me...K?
