Disclaimer for all chapters: I do not own Naruto or any of the songs/bands in this fic. Not yet…

I know there are a million karaoke fics, but I have yet to find a one I thought was any good. So, I decided to try my hand at it. I'm not saying mine will be any better, though, because that's all a matter of opinion. And please, if you know a good karaoke fic, feel free to tell me.


Team 7 was in an odd predicament. During their training Naruto had passed out. Sasuke followed after, and then Kakashi. While Sakura was thinking of what she could to Sasuke while he slept, she too fell unconscious. When they woke up they were in an empty room.

"What's going on?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura?" they heard someone say. They turned their heads and saw that the other three Konoha teams, as well as Gaara and his siblings were there with them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked.

Shikamaru responded, "I have no idea. We just woke up."

"Yeah, us too," Kiba said. "Where are we?"

"THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION!!" a voice boomed. There was a crackle of lightning, and a stage appeared before them. On the stage was a man in a black robe with a black hood covering his face.

"Who are you?" Ino asked.

"That is also a good question. I am Drawl Needler, the author of this story!" The teams gave him blank stares. Drawl sighed and said, "Ok, the best way for me to explain this is that I have complete control over you guys and what happens to you."

"Prove it," Sakura said. Then she suddenly had a heart attack and died.

"YES!!" Sasuke yelled. But then she came back to life. "Damn…"

"So how was dying?" Drawl asked her smugly.

"Heaven was a lot hotter than I thought it would be," she said with a confused look on her face.

"Sakura, I don't think-"

Drawl cut Kakashi off, saying, "No, no, no, don't tell her. It'll be a good surprise for when she permanently dies. Anyways, I've brought you here because…" Drawl pulled back his hood, revealing a puppet face. "…I want to play a game." This caused everyone to go into a panic. Drawl, failing to hold in his laugh, put his hood back on and said, "I can't believe you guys fell for that. That was great, really. Seriously though, I'm forcing you guys to have a karaoke night." The panic stopped when he said karaoke.

"Are you serious?" Sasuke asked.

"That's a stupid idea," Neji said.

Then they both had a heart attack and died. And then came back to life. "That's going to happen anytime you insult me, by the way. Back to the matter at hand, I will be forcing you guys to sing, or I'll kill you off permanently. At least until this fic is over. Also, there are no permanent repercussions on what you sing. You'll see what I mean when you're done." Neji raised his hand. "Yes, Neji?"

"Can I not go?"

"I'll let you go last."

"Fair enough."

Drawl waved his hand, and booths and tables facing the stage appeared behind them. "People who are not singing can sit there and order drinks from my server." Instantly a puppet on a tricycle appeared that looked eerily familiar. "I know he's creepy, deal with it. So, just come up to me when you want to sing and tell me what song you want."

The teams were silent for a moment as they all went to their seats, the girls separating themselves to one side and the boys to the other, and started talking amongst themselves over what they were going to sing.

"I'm going to sing a love song for Sasuke," Ino said proudly.

"Well I'm going to sing TWO love songs for Sasuke," Sakura said. The two girls started getting into an argument over who would sing more songs for Sasuke; the other four girls were talking reasonably like ADULTS.

"S-so what a-are you going to sing Kurenai-sensei?" Hinata asked.

"Oh, I don't know. I think this whole thing is ridiculous, though." And then she… didn't have a heart attack. What the heck?

"I'm not punishing the girls. Except Sakura and Ino. Anyways, people, come on, who's going first?" Naruto got up from his seat, much to the surprise of everyone else, and walked up to the stage. "What do you want?"

"I don't wanna stop."

"Ooh, good choice." Drawl stepped down from the stage and the music started.

There was a held guitar note at the beginning, which quickly faded out when the drums started. After the opening instrumental, Naruto started to sing.

I don't know what they're talking about
I'm making my own decisions
This thing that I found ain't gonna bring me down
I'm like a junkie without an addiction

Mama don't cry I just wanna stay high
I like playing with danger and fear
Everybody's walkin' but nobody's talkin'
It looks a lot better from here

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop

Naruto started to bang his head along with the rhythm of the guitar, along with every other guy except Neji and Gaara.

Why don't they ever listen to me
It's just a one way conversation
Nothing they say is gonna set me free
Don't need no mental mast********

Too many religions but only one god
I don't need another saviour
Don't try to change my mind
You know I'm one of a kind
Ain't gonna change my bad behaviour

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop

The song slowed down, and there were many repeats of the line I don't wanna stop coming from the background. Then there was a wicked awesome solo that Kiba did air guitar to. Before the solo ended Naruto shouted, "Everybody!" And they sang:

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop

There was a lot of clapping and whistling, mostly from the boy's side, and Naruto walked off the stage. "Thank you, thank you. Please, no applause, just throw money." Naruto took his seat and Drawl went back up to the stage. "One down, eighteen to go. Who's next?"

I'm trying not to use the general stereotyped songs for each character that a lot of people seem to use. For example, a lot of people use "Who Let the Dog's Out?" for Kiba. I'm not using that one. I'm using something just a bit… different. I'll give you a hint: Van Halen.
