hi everyone! Finals are coming up, and my friend and I were studying for english, and this idea came to me. Warning: mary sue crack, tights, and violence may occur.
DISCLAIMER: some of the lines are directly from the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (Folger Shakespeare Library edition, since that's the one im studying from). I do not own or claim the rights to the play, the characters from Naruto, or Billy Shakes himeslf. I'm just a high school student who needed to relieve a little stress before finals. THIS IS PURELY FANMADE!!
since won't let me use asterisks, quotations marked with a bold 'x' are straight from the play
In order to obtain these eyes, you must kill your closest friend…
These words were stuck in Sasuke's mind as he poured over countless books, trying to find ways to activate the Mangekyo sharingan. He did not want to use his brother's method.
"Watchya doin'?" Leia peered over his shoulder.
"GAH! Leia, how did you sneak in? The door was locked-never mind, get out."
"Going over sharingan techniques? Mangekyo has to be activated by killing someone, right?" Leia had started flipping a book with the Uchiha crest on the spine.
"Are you volunteering?" Sasuke glared at her.
"Har har, I just came in here to find a copy of Romeo and Juliet, I'm dying to re-read it."
"Sheesh, what a fairy tale. You read that lovey-dovey crap?" Sasuke didn't even look up from his book.
"Well excuse me for being a girl." Leia pulled the play off of a shelf. "Besides, this might help you."
"What the crap? The story of two lovers who die is going to make me stronger…" Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Have you had any other luck?" she teased.
"None of your business…"
"Thought so, I guess you need this more than me" Leia passed the book to Sasuke, who just stared at it like it was infected.
"The key to discovery is looking where nobody would bother to glance at. How do you think penicillin was invented?"
Sasuke just kept his patented emo expression.
"Sheesh, you really are oblivious, do I have to show you the page number?!"
"Get out, you're annoying…" he muttered.
Leia began to leave. "Can I just give you one hint?" She flashed Sasuke her kitty eyes.
"Make it quick" Sasuke groaned with his nose back in his books.
"Friar Lawrence." Leia stuck out her tounge.
"GO AWAY!" Sasuke yelled as he threw a shuriken, which landed on the wall next to her head.
"Okay! Okay! Don't kill me!" Leia backed out of the room.
"Romeo and Juliet? Heh, as if this stupid love story can help me achieve my goals" Sasuke thought. Regardless, he began reading the prologue.
"Two households, both alike in dignity (In fair Verona where we lay our scene)
An ancient grudge breaks to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean" x
Sasuke soon found himself on a dark cobblestone street, holding a sword and wearing a poofy shirt.
"What the crap? Where am I? It's so dark…"
"Give me a torch. I am not for this ambling. Being but heavy I will bear the light."x
"Hey, that's not bad!" said Leia who was suddenly standing next to him. She was wearing a poofy black shirt.
"Leia? What are you doing here?"
"I'm Mercutio, duh! Gentle Romeo, we must away to the feast of Capulet!"
"Not until you tell me what's going on!" Sasuke was getting really annoyed and drew his sword.
"Okay, save the fighting for act 3." Leia cowered.
"You need to find a way to achieve your goals, right? You've been pouring over ninjutsu books night after night, but haven't found anything! I'm just trying to get you to expand your horizons, you might be surprised."
"How do you know how long I've been studying?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Um…er…because this is a dream! Woooooo! verrrry scaaarry" She flailed around and flapped her arms.
"Works for me" he shrugged and the two began towards the Capulet mansion.
"Hey wait a second…" Sasuke stopped in his tracks and pointed at her. "WHY ARENT YOU JULIET?! ISNT THIS YOUR FAVORITE PLAY?!"
Leia started laughing. "Because Mercutio is my favorite character, plus Juliet has to wear that stupid boob-dress during the balcony scene."
Sasuke's nose began to bleed at the mental image of Leia wearing a boob-dress. She slapped him.
"HENTAI! Stop imagining me wearing that! Besides, mine aren't that big!"
"How did you…"
"Because it's a DREAM, Wooooo" She began flailing her arms again. This time, Sasuke was the one to slap her. "STOP THAT!" he screamed. "Can you just fill me in on the plot so far?"
Leia stopped woo-ing and flailing. "Hold it…you've never read Romeo and Juliet?"
Sasuke just stared at her.
"HOLYCRAPPLE! I can't believe it!" Leia began spazzing out until Sasuke drew his sword. She immediately stopped. Sasuke looked at his sword, it was really useful.
"Okay, here it is in a nutshell. You are a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet, the families are bitter rivals. Romeo, that's you, is in love with a girl named Rosaline. She has sworn to a life of chastity, and you are really depressed and emo. I, aka Mercutio, want you to get out more, so we're going to sneak into the Capulet party and you fall in love with Juliet without knowing she is the enemy. Here's a copy of the play, just don't read ahead." She tossed him a paperback copy of Romeo and Juliet.
The two reached the party while Sasuke skimmed the first act.
"Wait a second…where's Benvolio? Shouldn't he be with us?"
"Um, well, nobody wanted the part so…" Leia sweatdropped. "I offered it to Shino, but he isn't really the artistic type. Hark! The Capulet mansion!"
The two snuck in and immediately separated in the chaos.
"Leia, where are you? I need you to help me!" Sasuke called. He looked at the book and opened to the party scene. "Okay, now is the part where I see Juliet." He looked to his right and saw a pretty girl wearing a pink mask, but wait, her hair was pink too.
"SAKURA?!"
She turned her head and smiled. Sasuke grabbed her hand, but tripped over a shoelace and soon his fingers weren't the only thing touching her hand.
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much-"x
"No, I didn't mean it…I don't like you like that…" Sasuke turned red.
"Teehee, Sasuke-kun, you're so cute like this! I'm Juliet, you know…"
"Oh HELL no! This isn't a dream, it's a nightmare!"
Sakura hauled him to a corner. "Now's the part where you kiss me!"
Sasuke made a face. "Where's Leia?"
"You mean you'd rather be with her than me? I'm Juliet you baka!"
INNER SAKURA: this is my only chance!
Sakura grabbed his shirt and pulled him in. She kissed him hard on the mouth. Sasuke looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Leia smirking.
"You kiss by the book!"x said Sakura, suddenly in character. Sasuke started gagging and ran in the opposite direction.
"See you tomorrow at Friar Lawrence's!" She called after him.
"Wait…Friar Lawrence? Wasn't that what Leia-" he thought interrupted by none other than the Fem-Mercutio herself.
"So much for act 1, did you learn anything yet?"
"Not yet, except that no matter how pretty she looks, Sakura is still insane. Why couldn't Hinata be Juliet? She's shy, but at least she's not a stalker!"
"Are you kidding? I couldn't do that to Hinata! She is head over heels in love with Naruto-kun!"
"She is?"
Leia faceplanted.
"You're clueless. Anyway, take a break and enjoy the party before act 2. You might want to read scene 1 before you scale the wall to Juliet's room." She took the book and flipped to the balcony scene for Sasuke.
"I WHAT?!"
"tootles!" Leia disappeared into the party, and Sasuke went to hide in the men's bathroom where he would be safe from rabid fangirls
