Chapter 1: Clubbin'?

It was a hot, sunny, mid-summer's day and it was perfect weather for a picnicking or whatever the normal people did, the abnormal people, they were a different case. Apartment blocks lined each other and lead to a few fancy diners and cafe's, leading to the slightly wealthier side of town. Healthy kids could be seen walking their bothersome pet dogs across the pavement and around the block, trying to real their dog back. Adults with their small children could be seen coming out of a local supermarket, all eating, licking, or sucking an ice-lolly of various flavours. Birds could be heard chirping from near the park, where families and friends would meet up and have a pick-nick or a casual stroll. Some people could hear a distant roar of a powerful car engine, they stopped whatever they were doing to look at the corner of the road, the sounds coming closer. When everyone on the pavement was looking at that one corner, and when the sound was becoming deafening, a midnight blue car shot out from around the corner, leaving skid-marks in the tarmac. The driver was skilled, not once had he/she lost control of his/her vehicle and hadn't gone into the right lane. (Asian's -or rather, the Japanese- ride on the left side of the road)

As the car shot past, the pedestrians got to have a glimpse of the person in the convertible-roof sports car. It was a teenage boy with sunshine blonde hair that spiked wildly in every direction, intentional or not. He had captivating azure blue eyes and was lightly tanned, but he could still fit in the crowd, if you compared him skin colour-wise, he would never fit into an Asian population with blond hair. The people couldn't really see it though, but he also had a set of fake whiskers tattoo'd onto each cheek, three 'whiskers' for each cheek. He wore a light grey tank top and a set of faded, tattered, baggy, and torn jeans, with a few silver chains attached to it. He wore big, black combat boots with a metal toe part, his jeans covering most of his shoes. In the driver's compartment was the teenager's driving ID, with his name and photo on it. Uzumaki Naruto, age 18, born 10/10/1992. Uzumaki Naruto growled and looked into his rear-view-mirror, he cursed colourfully and stepped on the gas pedal, increasing his speed. There was a motorcyclist trailing him. One that wanted to catch him and try to get his friends to cough up cash to bail him out. He called them Baiters, and baiters they were. They would hack into the Internet Google accounts and try to find out your real life.

If they found out that your life was secretly abnormal and you had abnormal friends, they would try to kidnap you and make your friends pay them to free you again. You were incredibly unlucky if you were caught out, because it just became an added object in your path, a cat and mouse game that was haunting and increasingly frustrating. This was the third time that the Baiters were trying to get him, and he was determined to not let them get him. He span around a sharp corner and made the pedestrians shriek and search for cover. He slammed his foot down on the brakes and waited, the motorcyclist zoomed past him, he didn't see him properly, he was confused as to where he was and so didn't get a proper view of the complete road. While he was tucked right into the corner and not moving, the motorcyclist was moving at high speeds and had also done a wide arc when he turned the corner. Naruto slammed his feet onto the reverse pedal and reversed out of the road, going a totally opposite direction than what he originally was going to do. He sped past a public school, a few kids were trying to sneak in to graffiti the place, but stopped and looked on in awe as the convertible car sped past them. Naruto swore loudly and punched the air, basking in the fact that he had managed to escape a bloody Baiter for a third time.

Naruto revved the engine and sped past traffic lights and started coming into the slightly-less-wealthier zone, he sped up some more, he looked at his fuel tank and cursed, he spotted a tank station and quickly refuelled. He was then on his way again, at a slightly less fast pace. He then made a sharp turn on a bend that didn't seem to be there and nearly rammed himself into a parked sports car. He nearly broke his brakes and found another place to park next to the parked cars there. He flipped his roof closed and got out of his car, taking out his wallet, ID, mobile and silver AK handgun, which he shoved into the back of his trousers, grabbing the back of his tank top and hiding his gun that way. He ran to an abandoned school building block which was attached to another two building blocks as well, both abandoned as well. He grabbed his gun and banged the hilt of it against the door four times. Dun-dun-dun-Dun! "Lemme in! The bloody Baiters were chasin' me again! I need cover!" Naruto yelled at the door. Very soon, a teenage boy with chestnut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes appeared, his hair in a messy ponytail. He was wearing a set of dark green cargo shorts. (shorts with pockets on the sides, they also have cargo jeans) He wore a set of black flip-flop sandals to go with it and a brown tank top.

"Baiters?" The teen grabbed Naruto by the shoulder of his light grey tank top and yanked him inside, slamming the door closed behind himself. "The hell were you up to again Naruto? I don't feel like paying seventy-five bucks here to pay for your sorry ass." The ponytailed boy bolted the door with three locks, he turned to the blond. "Shika... maru..." Naruto gasped, he was hunched over his hands on his knees, panting loudly. "They... chased me… all over… the fuckin' town!… I had to shake him off!" Nara Shikamaru was a rather intelligent boy for his age, or for a lot of people even thirty years older than him. His old teacher and mentor had given him a secret IQ test, he had a percentage of above 200. Now that's smart. Naruto groaned and slugged himself up the stairs, which were located behind the door, if you pushed the grey curtains to the side. "At least I'm cheap..." Shikamaru chuckled, he slapped Naruto on the back, making Naruto groan again. "You know that you sounded so wrong just then right?" Shikamaru couldn't keep the snicker out of his voice.

Naruto and Shikamaru had come to the top of the stairs and pushed away another set of grey curtains, they were now in the Poker Room, as they liked to call it. It was a huge room with tables and sofas and armchairs strew out in random places, there was a refrigerator in the far corner of the room with a dishwasher and a sink, a wooden counter to the side of the fridge. There was a group of sofas and chairs pulled close to a huge, round, table where a big group of teenagers were playing poker, or a bastardised version of poker anyway, not everyone understood the rules. There was Oh Yeah! from Daft Punk playing. (Album: Homework) Everyone looked up at the two boys, some greeted him. Naruto went and sat down at and empty wooden chair and took his gun out an put it on the table, he then took off his tank top, which he had to peel off because he was sweating so much, at least they had air-conditioning here. Everyone was looking at him now, seeing his muscles all tensed up and his face flushed and him panting. "Are you gonna follow that up with a striptease Naruto?" Some boy's snickered, while the girls blushed. Naruto blushed deeply and showed the girl who had teased him the middle finger.

The girl in question smirked and lifted her hands up, in the I-don't-do-nothin'-wrong way. "Hey, at least it ain't a lap-dance." The boy's burst out laughing, slapping the girl on the shoulder or banging their fists on the table, tears forming in their eyes. "Oi! I was chased… by fucking Baiters for three… fucking hours! …I'm boiling here!" The girl who had teased him had sunset orange hair which reached her jaw and had deep turquoise green eyes, she had a blood red tattoo on the right side of her cheek, it was a thick, horizontal stripe. "Third time ey? My colleagues say that there are a few men in motorbikes that check out the store I work for in every mornin'." She had an Irish accent -not that people would know though- and was 20 years old. Her name was Kagen, end of story. No one knew her surname, or if Kagen really was her real name. She had a quirk for humour and noodles, and she thought of Naruto as a brother.

She got up and brushed away a lock of ginger hair that had stuck to her cheek and started walking over to the fridge. "Anyone want some coke?" She got a few murmurs, a yes and a no, a beer, and four cola's. She grumbled and opened the fridge, she stopped for a second to enjoy the amazingly cool air that hit her sweaty body. She grabbed five cola's and two beers, she closed the door again and put the drinks on the table, for the people who asked for them, she sat back down on her flaming red, leather, armchair, beer in hand. She wore a red tube top, much to a few boy's pleasure, she wore a set of very light blue, tattered jeans with the kneecap torn and replaced with a skater's knee protector. It was black with a yellow cross in it, the other one was completely apple green. Her jeans were torn at mid-shin, so you could clearly see her black combat boots with a hidden set of wheels to them. She was a racer, not a fighter, but she still did have a gun, a pocketknife, and a steel pipe.

She raced with people in her neighbourhood and won most of the time, she was modest, she wasn't a sore loser that went on about how great of a person she was. Sure, sometimes she got cocky, but that was only when someone challenged her at arm-wrestling. Kagen crossed her legs and hung them over the corner of the armchair, one hand holding her beer bottle and the other slung over the other arm of the armchair. As if she was a queen.

A crude queen at that.

Kagen tipped her head back and brought the bottle to her lush, pink, lips. She chugged down the bottle in less than four minutes. Naruto laughed at a few kids expressions and grabbed the spare beer bottle from the table and took a healthy swig from the alcohol. "So," Naruto smacked his lips, the drink cooling his overheated body down. "what are we doin' tonight?" He asked a boy with raven hair and a girl with petal-pink hair. They were his best friends. The raven haired boy had hair gelled back and spiked, he got a lot of insults because of his haircut. He had onyx coloured eyes and was very handsome, but Naruto just saw him like any other guy; you have a *bleep* so you fit in. He wore a dark blue tank top and dark grey baggy jeans, he wore black All Stars. The rosette had stunning emerald eyes and milky-white skin, her lips a permanent light cherry colour. Her hair reached mid-neck and was swept back into a tiny ponytail, a few black clips keeping stray strands from falling down. She wore black skin-tight shorts that reached mid-thigh, she wore a dark grey tank top with beige -nearly pink- elbow protectors, she wore long, combat boots with the toe part modified to look a bit like a sandal, showing off her toes, with bloody red nail-varnish on them, just like the paint on her fingernails.

"C'mon! I wanna go clubbin'! Sasuke! You're the only one here with a girlfriend!" Sasuke glowered at him and put his arm over the rosette's shoulder, she smirked at Naruto. "Someone needs to get laid... Perhaps,… Tayuya can help you?" Naruto paled instantly, the men were also quite pale, the girls snickering and laughing at Naruto. Naruto shot up from his seat and backed away. "Sh-she's not here right?" His voice slightly higher pitched than it usually was. "Good one Sakura, he's gonna have nightmares now." Kagen lifted her empty beer bottle in the rosette's direction, acknowledging her. "Can someone explain to me who this Tayuya chick is?" A teenage boy with spiky brown hair said, he also had a red triangle tattoo on each cheek. "She's a distant cousin of mine and she tried to pants Naruto big-time, she even-" "She was feelin' my junk man! She's obsessed!" Naruto yelled, waving his hands around the place, as if battering away imaginary Tayuya's. Kagen turned to the boy, looking him up and down. "You know Kiba,… I think that you're gonna love this chick, you both have similar qualities." The boys and girls roared and banged their fists on the table, Kiba's face a deep red. "How so?" He ground out, his fists clenched. "You're both violent, foul-mouthed -most of us are-, perverted, aaaand!… She loves reading Air Gear." You could practically see the little stars in his eyes and the tiny nosebleed. (Air Gear is a very perverted manga, the mangakana is Oh!Great)

"Or did you think that I meant that you were gay? Triangle face."

The people in the room laughed even louder, some even fell off of their seats, making others laugh louder. Seeing Kiba get out his prized pocketknife that he was so talented with, Kagen got out of her seat, running to the far side of the room and grabbing her metal pipe. Kiba smirked and sat on her seat, making a few laugh. "I rule this world now, mwa ha ha." Kiba imitated Kagen with her beer, she blushed a bright red and threw a random schoolbook at him, he dodged it. Kagen fumed silently and turned to Naruto, she jabbed her finger at him, a scowl on her face. "You." Naruto gulped. "If you wanna go clubbin', then ya gotta work for it. C'mon, were goin' to the park, I'll drive." She turned and looked at the huge group with a lazy turquoise eye. "Anyone else comin'?" Sakura and Shikamaru joined, along with a boy who looked like a male replica of Sakura. "Nah, I ain't hard yet darlin'." Kiba smirked, patting his crotch, making the males laugh and the girls blush. Kagen scowl deepened, Kiba realised that he was really starting to get on her nerves, this wasn't joking anymore. The others that were going to the park had already disappeared, having gone past the curtain and through a corridor, leading to the abandoned school's car park. "Fine then," Kagen snarled as she started going down the stairs. "just don't cum on my armchair, or I'll kick ya where the sun don' shine." Kiba gulped and went and sat back on his original seat.

Kagen stormed out of the building and clicked on her wheels, she skated across the car park towards the group surrounding her custard yellow Mustang. She skidded to a stop in front of them and clicked her wheels off. She grabbed her keys out of her back pocket and unlocked her car, Shikamaru in the front with herself at the wheel, -her car, her drive- with Naruto, Sakura and the other teenage boy at the back. She slammed on the gas pedal and shot off, swerving a sharp right corner and slowing down, going along with the normal flow of traffic, they reached the park in five minutes, she parked the car and leaned over to look at the teenagers in the back. "Did anyone bring the fucking stereo with them?" Naruto nodded his spiky blond head. Kagen smiled and got out of the car, closing the door behind herself, the others getting out in quick succession. "We'll go to the kids park, no one will be able to report us or anything, it's just small kids and their families here, they're not gonna think this as fighting, it's fuckin' dancing to them." No one really understood her, but they got the general point, in the more teenage-adult families area, there were more people on the lookout for trouble, if they saw them dance/fighting, they would send them away.

They all trudged off to the smaller park, the male rosette holding the huge boom-speakers on his shoulder. They got to the park and Shikamaru put down a big hat, the other boy -his name was Hatsu, he was Sakura's older brother, he was 21- put down the stereo and at Kagen's command, turned it on and put on R&B/Rap genre music. A few kids looked at them from their swings, wondering what was going on. Kagen pointed at Naruto, "We'll spar, no actual hitting each other, got that?" Naruto nodded and spaced himself from Kagen, Sakura sat down next to Shikamaru. The music started playing, Kagen rushed herself at Naruto, performing a fancy set of acrobatics, Naruto jumped back and avoided a kick aimed for his jaw. Some kids gasped, their parents looking wisely at the display not so far away. Naruto aimed to punch next to Kagen's head, she kept up the facade, she lifted up her right arm and fake-blocked his fake-punch, they moved swiftly, throwing punches and kicks at each other, with an occasional fancy move, mainly a backflip or a cool back roll with a forward spring.

Soon, some kids were coming and looking at them, keeping their distance. Naruto flipped forward and did a handstand, one leg horizontal and his right hand parallel to his horizontal leg, he kicked at Kagen, but she did a backflip, avoiding his flying leg sweep. "Awesome! Hey mommy! Can I give them a coin?" A small boy yelled at his mum, she smiled at the teenagers and spotted the big hat. She gave him a five hundred ¥en banknote. "They're street performers, they want you to give them some money, go give them this." The boy squealed and hugged his mum, he ran around the sparring Naruto and Kagen, he put the banknote into Shikamaru's hat and ran back to his mum, Naruto smiled. He winked at Kagen, she stopped attacking him. Naruto did a little run-up and then started doing flips and summersaults through the air, the children squealed and clapped their hands at him. He landed in a crouch right in from of a group of kids, they squealed and laughed, he smiled at them. He heard the mum again. "See? They're saying thank you." He reached out and ruffled a little girl's hair, she giggled and hid behind her friend.

Kagen signalled for Sakura to join while she took a time-out, Naruto ran over to the tree and took off his tank top, Sakura got up and put on a set of fingerless black gloves. She charged at Naruto, he just saw her coming and back-flipped out of the way. The song "Massive Attack" from Nicki Minaj and Sean Garrett came on, Kagen whooped at Sakura and Naruto. "Come on! Give us a show eh!" Sakura shook her head and muttered a 'she's such a child sometimes' before she charged at Naruto, she went in with a hook punch, he slapped her hand out of the way, he tried to hook his foot around her ankle to unbalance her, but she lashed out with a kick, he backed away. "It's getting really cool now!" A random kid called out to his parents, his older cousins joining him. One cousin, he had short, brown hair that spiked at the top ends, he had dark brown eyes as well, he squinted at the blond, his eyes widened. He pointed to Naruto and whispered to his other cousin. "That's the fox kid!" His cousin looked at him, he then looked back at Naruto. "Yeah, you're right Kono-kun! Let's go give him some money!" They both ran over to Shikamaru and the other boy Hatsu, Kagen had gone to buy cold water. While the cousin paid, 'Kono' pointed at Naruto. "Is that the fox kid?" Shikamaru chocked on his own spit. "Wh-what?" Kono flinched. "No, his name's Naruto, why didya ask?" Hatsu said, also turning to look at Naruto. "I saw him on the TV! Naruto-nii-chan also looks a lot like him!"

Shikamaru talked to the children. "Naruto's a foreigner, he's moved over here just a few weeks ago." The kid called Kono 'hmmm'ed. "Okay then, you guys are really cool! Can I sit next to you guys?" Kono's cousin went back to his younger cousin and parents. Shikamaru looked at Hatsu, should they? "Why not? There's no harm in it, but we're not gonna make you stay here ya know? Your parents may get worried." Kono nodded his head and sat next to Shikamaru. "What's your name? I'm Hatsu and this is Shikamaru, don't worry, he just doesn't talk that much." Hatsu smiled, the child straightened up and pointed his thumb at himself. "My name is Sarutobi Konohamaru! And I'm nearly fourteen!" While Hatsu talked with Konohamaru, Shikamaru thought about the 'fox kid'.

Fox kid was their nickname for Naruto when they were out with their gang, they had busted a bank a month ago, and the bank's CCTV had managed to get a glimpse of their crew. They had seen a blurry photo of Naruto in his 'fox kid' outfit, Kagen with a black wig -long hair and braided- on and no tattoo, Hatsu with a moustache and a set of thick glasses and a blue, spiky wig, himself with a balaclava on, a few others with balaclavas on as well and Sakura with a green wig on with furious curls in it, and Sasuke with grey hair-dye in, yellow contact lenses, and his hair styled flat, he had a handkerchief over his mouth and nose.

They had all spat out their drinks or food when they saw their photo's appear on the TV. It was really shit that a fourteen-year-old had recognised Naruto as 'fox kid'. He would have to put plasters over his cheeks if he wanted to go anywhere public soon. The song changed to "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris and Nicki Minaj, clean version. Kagen returned and witnessed a group of teenagers coming up and giving them each a 5000 ¥ bill, they thanked them, one girl actually asked if Naruto could kiss her. Naruto heard her and laughed, he and Sakura stopped to get some water and he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. She blushed like mad and her female friends giggled at her. They went away. Kagen went and stood in front of Hatsu, she held out her hand, he took it and she helped him up. "Wanna fight? Why don't we use our pipes?" Hatsu had secretly taken Kagen's pipe and another one he had found in the car. Hatsu shrugged and smiled at his little sister. "Nice fight, Sakura, Naruto."

Hatsu and Kagen grabbed a pipe each and went to the middle of their little 'show'. They held their metal pipes in front of each other, as if they were swords. Adults stood up and went to stand next to their children, in case they started doing something dangerous. Kagen and Hatsu charged at each other and swung their pipes at each other, they collided with a loud, ringing, 'clang!'. Some kids cheered while some adults pulled their children further away from the fighting pair. Hatsu ducked down low and swiped at Kagen's feet, she jumped up and placed one foot on his shoulder, using it as a push-off point, she stuck her pole into the ground and flipped her entire body over the pipe and landed on her feet again, Hatsu took another swipe at her, but her pipe was in front of her legs, protecting them from harm. The song "Pass Out" from Tinnie Tempah came on, clean version, If it wasn't clean, then they would get into a lot of trouble from the parents. Kagen kicked her pipe, a smaller 'clang' coming from the protective metal on the toe of her combat boots against the pipe. The pipe swung up and nearly hit Hatsu in the face, he turned his head to the side and brought his pipe up, the pipes collides with another clang.

Shikamaru saw a parent coming up with his little daughter and son. The children beamed at them while they gave them their little hundred yen coins. Sakura smiled at the kids, the little girl smiled back at her full force, she pointed at her hair. "Is it real?" Sakura laughed and leaned in closer, the girl nervously touched her hair. "Wow! Your hair is really soft and silky! And it's such a pretty colour pink! It reminds me of a sakura tree!" Sakura winked at the girl as she leaned back again. "My secret to have silky and soft hair is to wash it with shampoo and conditioner every two days." The girl squealed and said that she's always wash her hair when asked to. The song "Stronger" from Kanye West came on, the adult smiled at Sakura and Naruto, who was occupied with his son. "Hey! Hey! Are those real! You look like a cat!" The boy unashamedly poked Naruto's whisker tattoos. "Oh yeah?" Naruto poked him back. "Yeah!" The kid shouted back, poking his cheek again. Naruto struck a funny pose while still sitting down. "But the ladies call me foxy." The adult burst out laughing, his children looking up at him. "You guys come around here a lot?" Shikamaru spoke up. "Only when we're really desperate money-wise, or just when he wants to show off." Shikamaru pointed at Naruto. The boy laughed at him. "Still single? What happened to the ladies cat-boy? I wanna know!" Naruto turned a deep red at Shikamaru's remark.

The adult smiled and put in a 5000¥ note into the hat, they all smiled at him. "Thanks a lot man." The adult smiled, he called his kids over, who were playing with Konohamaru. "Anytime." The man left, Sakura smiled. "It's actually very nice to be outside and not have to worry, it's nice here, you can play with kids and talk with friends, it's much better than being in a bad neighbourhood, where you always have to be on the lookout for the Bobbies and Baiters." Sakura spoke quietly, Naruto and Shikamaru nodded their heads. The song "Till I Collapse" from Eminem went on and a few teenagers in the park perked up at the famous rapper's voice. Konohamaru said goodbye to them and ran over to his family, they started talking animatedly with him, no doubt asking him who those people were and if they were kind to him or not, and if he made any friends. Naruto sighed and got up and dusted off his jeans. He started climbing up the tree, earning quite a few stares. "What are you doing Naruto?" Naruto grunted and stood up on a branch. "I saw a sturdy branch that you can run off, I'm hyper and you? Tebbayo!" Naruto climbed higher, Sakura sighed and closed her eyes.

When Naruto was hyper he always said 'Tebbayo!' or 'Dattabayo!'. It was a quirk of his, but when he was hyper, few could de-hyper him.

Naruto climbed to the top of the tree, Hatsu and Kagen briefly spotted him, they stopped their 'sword' fighting and looked at him. He stood on the thick branch, he shouted out: "Don't try this at home or at the park okay kids?" A few adults yelled when they saw him, but the kids were all silent and 'ooh'ed at him. Naruto ran to the end of the branch and jumped up high, he made himself into a ball and wrapped his hands around his shins, he spun forward, spinning his axis around as well. He kept his eyes open the hole time, when he deemed that if he didn't get out of his small ball soon, he would smash his head on the floor and die, he unleashed his legs and spread his legs out, he had his knees bent and his back hunched forward. He landed and immediately let himself fall further onto the ground, he then made himself roll forward as to not face plant the grass. When he got up all the kids were cheering and rushing towards him, hugging him or giving him a pat on the back. A lot of kids then ran off and threw lots of coins into the hat.

Kagen looked at her mobile phone's clock, it was five 'o' clock already, it would take them an hour and a bit to get showered, washed, clothed and disguised. Naruto really needed to hide his tattoos. And then it would take them half an hour to have dinner and an hour to ride to the nightclub.

Kagen went over to the others and started clearing up the empty water bottles. "We have to go; we needda clean up, get dressed in party gear and then also disguise our gang features. Then we need to eat and drive to the club. So we gotta wrap up now. Someone go tell Naruto while I get the car ready, I'm not gonna wait long." Kagen took the two pipes and walked off the grassy area and onto the cement walkway. She shook her left foot, her wheels popped out, she did the same with her right foot. She skated away in speed and style. She arrived at her car in three minutes flat and promptly unlocked her car, she put the pipes in the boot of the car and clicked her wheels off. She got into the driver's seat and stuck the key in the ignition. She turned on the radio and switched the music channel over to the news channel. Gangs needed to be updated on local crime. 24/7. She listened to the news reporter.

Apparently, another gang had blown up a public toilet building and had committed arson on three houses. (Arson is where someone starts a fire deliberately to destroy something, like a house or a school building) And a group of school-kids have graffitied the local school that they had driven past on their way to the park. Another -rather old- news flash told them to look out for any signs of a gang that were shown on the TV a month ago, they said that the gang was still 'at large'.

"Bullocks." Shikamaru had gotten into the car, followed up by Sakura who had sworn. Naruto and Hatsu got into the car. This time Sakura was in the front with Naruto, Shikamaru and Hatsu in the back. "I know right? Technically we are the bad guys, but that's because we ran into deep shit that we were never able to clear. We now have a gang and rob banks to pay our debts; we perform on the streets and in the parks to get money to go by for the day. And I have to steal from rich people so I can smoke my marihuana." Naruto shook his head. "You're an addict Kagen, get it into your head that it's still bad for you." Kagen shrugged and sped away, news radio still going off. "It just makes me sleepy and confused, that's all, and I only smoke it once a week, or two weeks, I keep my stash 'till it's empty, then I wait a week befo' I buy another pack. I ain't an 'addict' as you say, I'm careful, so's Shikamaru here. He smokes pot, but he's still alive and not mentally affected by the shit we inhale."

Naruto looked at Shikamaru with wide eyes. "You retard Naruto, you've seen me smoke several times in front of you." Naruto squawked. "But I thought that that was just plain' old smokin'! I didn't know that you were on drugs!" Shikamaru waved his hand at him. "On occasional times, sure, I feel the pull of the nicotine, but I ignore it, it's like with eating chocolate. I don't really like it, but I'll still have some from time to time." Kagen sped up, she took the sharp corner and had to slam both feet onto the brakes so not to slam into Naruto's car. "BLOODY HELL NARUTO! Get your fucking car outta the driveway! NOW!" Naruto yelped and jumped up, climbing over Shikamaru and practically jumping out of the car. He slammed the door closed behind himself and sprinted to his car. He unlocked his car and sped off, the tires squealing before speeding off to the car park, Kagen hot on his heels. Naruto indicated that he was going to park on the left, so she slowed down. Naruto parked his car and got out, slamming the door closed behind himself and locking it, shoving the keys into his back pocket.

Kagen parked her car not so far away from Naruto's one and sighed, she took her key out of the ignition and the news report died off, her passengers getting out, but Sakura stayed as she watched Kagen gloomily look at her car steering wheel. "What's wrong?" She asked in a soft voice. Kagen sighed again. "I miss racing..." Sakura looked at her blankly. "But you do race! You're very good at racing!" Kagen sighed again and traced her fingers over the steering wheel. "But I miss racing with Shin-kun, he was my inspiration to race..." Sakura stared blankly at her again, Kagen turned and smiled sadly at her, moisture in her eyes. "Did you know that he was gonna propose to me? And now he's probably dead somewhere, or, or, he's in a dark cell somewhere, in jail! Or the Baiters have gotten him! And they're waiting for the perfect time to sell him off!" Sakura watched with growing fear as more and more tears streaked down Kagen's cheeks. She turned her head to look at the steering wheel again, her fingers gripping it tightly. "Shin-kun was my life Sakura, he was my everything, just like I was to him… And now he's disappeared, with just a single folded up paper telling me that he's in trouble. It's been three and a half years since then Sakura, I'm scared that I'm gonna give up hope, I need to find Shin-kun, but every day, I feel a little of my willpower disappear, it's scaring me Sakura." She looked at her, Sakura had a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"I don't know what to do anymore."

Kiba was counting out the money that the five-some had collected with their street performance. He counted off the numbers in his head. Seven, eight, nine, ten,… He ruffled through another stack and counted everything, he put that stack apart from the one he had just counted. Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,… He counted the last pile, he then also added that to a separate stash. Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, six, seven… three hundred and thirty-one Yen in total... He counted off the stashes. "Twenty-seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-one Yen in total... You guys sure did get a lot for just three hours of dancing." Naruto whistled, shaking his hand from side to side. "Can't help it, I'm popular with the ladies." Kiba smirked. "As a one-night stand that is." Naruto turned a dark shade of red, he punched Kiba and gave him the middle finger. Sasuke walked in, he leant against the door frame. "How much did you make?" Naruto punched the air. "27 331 ¥!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Sweet, anyway, Shikamaru. Chouji's here." Shikamaru smiled and started walking for the entrance. "Thanks, I've not seen him for a while now."

Shikamaru shoved his hands deeply into his pockets, he whistled a tune through his teeth and disappeared behind the curtains. Shikamaru got to the car park and looked at the red motorbike. He got on guard, in case it was a Baiter in disguise. But the person on it took off his helmet and it revealed the face of his best childhood friend, Akimichi Chouji. He had a long, spiky mane of reddish brown hair and had pitch black eyes. On each cheek was a light red swirl. Chouji got off of his bike and hugged the incoming Shikamaru. "Heya Shikamaru! It's been a long time since I've seen you! You should come over to the restaurant some time!" Chouji's family ran the famous Akimichi Barbecue restaurant that had two stars for their great food quality. "Chouji! Wow! You've been to the gym a lot haven't you?" Chouji grinned broadly as they walked inside and up the staircase. He undid the protective leather jacket and showed off his ruffled green tank top. "Where do I put my coat?" Chouji asked. "Just put it on a chair, but not on the red leather armchair okay?" Chouji nodded his head.

They entered the Poker Room and Shikamaru lazily introduced his best friend to the group. "This is Akimichi Chouji, he's my best friend since I was seven, be nice to him okay? And he knows, so there's no use trying to hide your gun Kiba, he saw it when he got in. Oh and Shino, it's really obvious that you have a gun, seeing as it's poking out of your jacket pocket, I hope that doesn't stay like that." Kiba and Shino -he had wild, frizzy black hair with black shades on, he wore a black tank top and a grey jacket which was on his chair, he wore black cargo shorts and wore the same sandals as Shikamaru- grumbled something incoherent at him, while the rest cheerily said hello to Chouji. "Soooo, do you have a gang?" Sasuke asked, interested. Chouji smiled and scratched his head. "Uuum, well, I live a pretty normal life to be honest. Sure, I hang out with a few friends and do some stuff, but it's just pranking. So I wouldn't say that it's a gang." Shikamaru and Chouji went and sat at a sofa, not far off from Shino and Kiba.

Chouji took off his jacket and placed it on the arm of the sofa. Some of the girls were looking at his chiselled abs that were shown off when he took off his jacket and his tank top had ruffled some more. "Hey! Can you please take off your shirt for us?" A rather cheeky girl said. The group burst out in a fit of giggles. Chouji blushed a dark pink. "Hey Shikamaru, you should come meet up with us some time! Ino really wants to see you again." While Shikamaru talked with Chouji, Sakura entered the room, she went up and whispered something into Naruto's ear. He shot up and walked quickly over to the stairs, he was gone pretty soon. "Oh, this is Sakura by the way, and the blond kid you just saw leave, his name's Naruto. And the boy who asked you if you have a gang is Sasuke," He pointed at a girl with shocking purple and red hair, she had a plaster over her nose bridge and had azure eyes. She had a cheeky smile on. "This girl's name is Loulou, but some of us call her Cheeky Monkey, which she is." Loulou smiled. "I may be a monkey, but you're a pineapple." Chouji chuckled. "Anyway, this boy over here is…"

Naruto briskly walked through the car park, rethinking Sakura's words. "Kagen's thinking about Shin again." He hated seeing Kagen in the state she got herself into when she thought about Shin. He spotted her sat next to her car, smoking. He ran over to her. Kagen's turquoise eyes looked up at him from her position on the floor. She was sat down with her knees pulled up to her shoulders and an arm was slung over them, the other hand holding a cigarette. "You smoking drugs there?" Naruto asked, he sat down next to her, she smiled around her cigarette and loosed from her position. Kagen blew out as much of the deadly gas as she could, she put her arm on the floor, gently tapping her cigarette against the tarmac. "Yeah, this is shit Naruto, I really miss your brother." Naruto also let a sad smile grace his lips. "I really loved my brother Kagen, family-wise, but I know that it's gonna be a lot harder for you than it is for me..." Naruto hesitated for a bit. "I found nii-chan's ring yesterday." Kagen let the words sink in before she slowly looked at him. "His ring? The one that he wore nearly every day?" Naruto nodded his head at each question. "The very same. I want you to keep it." Naruto dug something out of his pocket and placed it on the floor next to Kagen's feet.

It was a plastic wrapping, it wasn't that big though. Kagen placed her cigarette down and picked up the wrapping, she took it off with great care, inside was a thick, golden ring with a gorgeous jade in it. The colour of the jade was a rare apple green colour. "The jade always reminded me of his eyes." Kagen shakily put the ring on her left ring finger, as if she was declaring that she was engaged to her disappeared boyfriend. Kagen cried a tear of joy and sadness and hugged Naruto. She leaned back to look at his face. Naruto smiled at her, he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't give up on him, he'll come back, I just know it." Kagen smiled widely and closed her eyes, she leaned in to Naruto's face. "Kagen wha-" Naruto just saw Kagen's lush, pale pink, lips drawing nearer, so attractive. She kissed him, on the mouth, but it was just a kiss, nothing more. Kagen let go of Naruto and picked up her cigarette, she took one last breath in of the drug and stood up, grinding the cigarette to the floor. "Thanks Naruto, I needed that." And then, as if nothing had happened before, Kagen walked away with a spring in her stride, humming a 'tweet tweet' tune, her arms swishing at her sides. Kagen swivelled around, pointing both index fingers at Naruto. "Oh yeah, Shin-kun left some kind of code behind in his last note, does 10/12-1000-1600-OSA-CU ring a bell or anything?" Naruto shook his head.

Kagen turned around and walked away, she sighed quietly but cheered on the inside when she looked at her Shin-kun's ring. She looked straight into the pretty jade. It was as if Shin-kun had appeared next to her and winked at her, his apple green eyes never leaving her turquoise green ones. Shin placed his right hand on her shoulder and kissed her, she smiled against his lips and he disappeared. She giggled and touched her lips. She clicked on her wheels and skated to the building, professionally jumping up the staircase. She burst into the Poker room, she was bursting with energy, and everyone who bothered to look at her, she skated up to Kiba and poked him. "Oi! Triangle face! Let's race! No rules! Except that we're not allowed to kill each other and damage our rides! What'cha say?" Kiba jumped up, grinning. "Kay then! I won't lose to you!" Chouji got up and walked over to them, Shikamaru in tow. "I'll race you as well, but on what vehicle? Skates, bike or car?" Kagen grinned from ear to ear. "Don't care! I just wanna race!" With that, Kagen burst out of the room in a fit of giggles, Naruto appeared. Kiba turned to him with a toothy grin. "She high?"

Naruto smiled. "A bit. But she's like that 'cos I gave her nii-chan's ring." Kiba looked at him, just like all the others. "Y-you found his ring?" "You gave it to her?" "Jay! We got our old Kagen-chan back!" A few teens shouted at him. Kiba grinned, he patted Naruto's back. "She told me that she's found it hard to race now that she hasn't got any inspiration, it's good that you gave his ring to her. She deserves it." Naruto looked at Chouji, he pointed at him. "Who's the muscle guy?" Chouji grinned. "My name's Akimichi Chouji, I'm Shikamaru's best friend." Kagen's voice rang up the stairs. "Oi! Ya lazy bastards! I don't wanna wait!" Kiba laughed and thundered down the stairs, two steps at a time. "Hold yer horses Kagen!" Chouji smiled and ran after Kiba, Naruto muttered a 'oh, why not for the heck of it all.'

Twelve teenagers -Including Sasuke, Sakura, Shino and Shikamaru- (Wow, all with an 'S') represented their crowd. "Chouji! Take my keys! Don't scratch the paint 'kay? It's really troublesome to repaint…" Shikamaru threw his keys at Chouji, who grabbed them deftly and looked at his car. It was a dark green Porsche. Kagen grinned and got into her light custard yellow Mustang. She sat down on her black leather seat and gripped the steering wheel, turning on the ignition, revving her engine. Kiba got into his flaming red Jaguar, he revved the engine as well. Somebody drew a start line and someone had drawn a FINISH x2. Meaning that they did a hole circuit of the school buildings three times. Chouji went and drove next to Kagen and Kiba, who all pulled their windows down. Naruto's midnight blue convertible Lexis car joined them. Sakura went and stood in front of them, in-between Kagen and Kiba. She lifted her right hand up high, she held a racing flag. All the drivers revved their engines.

Sakura brought the flag down.

They all sped off, tires squealing, Kagen took the lead very quickly. They all made a left turn, Chouji cut the corner and was now in first place, Naruto battling Kiba for third. They went on for fifty meters before they had another left turn, this one was wide. Naruto surprised everyone when he overtook Kiba and Chouji, who had been overtaken by Kagen. They raced side by side. "Do ya think ya can win K-chan?" (said like 'Kay-chan') Naruto yelled at her from the right side of the road. "You betcha fox kid!" Kagen yelled back, grinning like mad and a sparkle in her eyes that Naruto hadn't seen in a long time. Kagen accelerated and rounded the left corner quickly, Naruto hot on her heels, she cut around the roundabout, blocking Naruto's way through. Naruto dropped back, Kagen finished the roundabout and made a wide left again. (So if there wasn't a roundabout, it would have been a straight road, but there's a roundabout right next to it) Chouji overtook Naruto, and Kiba tried overtaking him, they battled for third place again.

Chouji was gaining on Kagen, she knew it. Chouji nearly scraped her car, but he swerved to the right to quickly avoid it. There was a wide left corner up ahead, Chouji was just about to cut the corner again when Kagen suddenly accelerated quickly, leaving him at a fair distance. Kagen zoomed past the straight road, she could see the little crowd with a sign saying '1 MORE LAP'. Kiba overtook Chouji while he was focused on Kagen. Kagen went over the line, she smiled, one more lap to go. As she rounded a sharp left corner, Kiba sped past her. "What?" Kagen yelled, she heard Kiba laughing. He was third! And now he was suddenly first? She wasn't even thinking when she rounded the second sharp bend, Kiba was still in her sights. He was only fifty metres in front of her though, so she was glad for that. She sped up and nearly slammed into the back of Kiba's car. He swore loudly at her. "Bitch! Kagen!" Kagen laughed loudly, they were now neck to neck, with Kiba on the left, Kagen on the right, and Chouji hot on their wheels, Naruto not so far away from him.

Kiba rounded the roundabout; Kagen sped up with speed they didn't know she had and cut the corner neatly, intercepting Kiba and stealing first place again. Chouji overtook Kiba again while he was focused on Kagen's car. They all finished the roundabout and were now giving it their all, it was only 500 meters till the finish line. Naruto swerved in and out between Kiba and Chouji, riding next to Kagen, he shouted at her. "It's good to see you like this again! Is nii-chan with you now?" Kagen smiled and yelled back at him. "Hell yeah! My darlin's with me!" Kagen briefly looked at the empty seat on her left. Shin appeared, he was smiling at her and urging her on, telling her that he was proud of her. Kagen smiled and sped off, leaving Naruto to -willingly- be overtaken by Chouji and Kiba.

In the end, Kagen -of course, she's an elite racer- won, with Chouji coming second, Kiba third and Naruto last. Naruto wasn't made for driving, he was made for stealth and stealing. "Wow, Chouji, you're a really good driver. Do you race a lot or something?" Chouji grinned at her and gave Shikamaru his car keys back. "I am. I'm a professional motorbike driver, 'took me a year to become professional, but I'm also quite good at boxing." Kagen slapped his back. "I'd love to race you again someday. But right now WE NEED TO GET TO THE CLUB!" Kagen yelled the last part at the little crowd, who yelped and most of them scrambled inside the building.

It was 9 'o' clock and the people that were going clubbing were outside at the car park, standing by their cars or friends' cars. They had all taken a much appreciated cold shower because of the hot weather. Naruto had to put on face concealer to hide his trademark tattoos that would give away his identity, and had put on black contact lenses. He was wearing black baggy cargo trousers and white trainers, along with an orange tank top, just to shake up his appearance for a more wild effect.

Sasuke had his hair spiked and made it go slightly more to the side, he wore grey trousers, a black t-shirt with a white stripe going over the chest area, and black trainers.

Sakura was wearing a very daring bloody red tube top that showed off her navel, black skinny jeans and red sandal-heels, she had her hair down and wore lip gloss.

Shikamaru was in a plain white shirt with the top three buttons undone, his ponytail even messier than it was before he had changed. He wore dark brown trousers and black shoes. His sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Loulou, the girl who was nicknamed Cheeky Monkey, had dyed all her hair plum purple and had spiked the ends a bit, she wore purple eye shadow. She wore a mauve halter top and wore black shorts that reached her mid-thigh, a lot like the ones Sakura wore, she added a silver belt across it. She had put on a set of purple fingerless gloves and wore black ballet flats.

Lavi, a boy who was the gang's engineer, had midnight blue hair that spiked like Naruto's, but he also had his hair in a ponytail at the back of his neck. He wore a grey-silver tank top that showed off his biceps, black knee-length shorts and black and grey trainers.

Kagen had her jaw length flaming ginger hair loose again and was wearing Shin's ring again. She wore a pale yellow spaghetti strap top that showed off her navel. She wore midnight blue jeans that hugged her,-but not too much- and showed off her hipbones, wearing a black belt along with it. She wore small heeled silver sandals and had a set of silver bracelets on each wrist.

Hatsu was wearing a red t-shirt with black stripes along it horizontally. He also wore baggy blue jeans and white and black Doc Martins. His pink-ish-red hair was spiked with gel and his hair was pushed back, showing off his forehead.

Atsuko, a girl with green hip length hair, was wearing a forest green floaty dress which reached her mid-thighs, she wore tanned coloured leggings underneath that reached her knees. She wore black leather boots that reached just under her knees. Her hair was in a French plat. Her black eyes were highlighted with pale yellow.

Kiba was wearing a silver bandana over his hair, the ends of it spiking out behind it. He had to also put on face concealer to hide his facial tattoos. He wore no shirt, showing off a body that was incredibly well toned. He wore a light grey hoodie, black loose, baggy three quarter length trousers, and black combat boots, with the ends of his trousers tucked into the boots.

Chouji was still wearing what he had arrived in; a dark red leather racing jacket, a dark green tank top, dark blue baggy jeans, and black boots.

Tenten, she was a weapons specialist, had spontaneously decided to join. She wore her chocolate brown hair down, her wavy hair reaching her waist. She wore a red and gold Chinese style shirt and wore dark red three quarter length trousers. She wore a gold set of high heels to go with her outfit and she also wore golden bracelets and golden hoop earrings. Sure, she was known as a hard-core tomboy, but she could also have her girly moments.

"We all ready to go?" Sakura yelled at them all. "YEAH!" They yelled back at her, they all started getting into their cars, separate or with someone. Naruto drove alone, while Kagen drove with Hatsu and Kiba -which slightly irked her-, Shikamaru drove with Chouji. Lavi was driving with Lou-Lou and Atsuko, Sasuke driving with Sakura. Tenten drove alone.

Everyone was going to the CallHouse Club. It was not so far downtown from where they all lived, it only took an hour to get there, when they arrived at the CallHouse club it was ten 'o' clock. They had run into a bit of the Friday night traffic-hour. Naruto got out of his car and slammed the door closed, he locked his car and stretched, cracking his shoulder-blades and some of his neck vertebra. He rubbed his shoulders and kicked the air a few times, regaining some of the feeling in his legs that he had lost on the car-drive. The others were also getting out of their cars and stretching a bit, a few muttered curses about 'took us fucking long' and the traffic. "We all ready to go shake some ass and get the mother of hangovers?" Sasuke shouted to no one in particular. "Yeah!" Came the reply, they all wandered into the CallHouse Club. Naruto avoided the bouncer by sneaking through the back door, he knew that he was old enough to go in, but he didn't want the man to see him anyway, just in case he somehow made a connection.

He kicked the door open -he had learnt that a good kick did the trick- and walked in, closing the door behind himself and grinning wickedly. He went out of the PERSONNEL ONLY room and brushed the little plastic and colourful tassels out of the way of his face. He was greeted by ear-blasting rap music and the hot, sweaty and lively atmosphere. He saw Sasuke and Sakura dancing together, Shikamaru and Chouji sitting at the bar, hoping to catch a girl. He smirked when he saw a few girls going in their direction, he hear loud laughter that could only be Kagen's and Hatsu's, they were having a drinking round; who could finish two beers the fastest? He managed to identify the song, it was the song as "I'm in the House" by Steve Aoki and Zupa Blahq. He went over to the bar and asked for a coke (Coca Cola), the beer would be for later. As he sat at his seat, drinking his canned coke, he spotted a girl with sandy hair that was in four spiky bunches, a few bangs going over her forehead, she had vivid teal eyes. He could have sworn that he knew her from somewhere, he shrugged it off, he'd probably seen her from around town or something. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her walking over to Shikamaru and boldly asking him if he wanted to dance. He turned his contact-lensed black eyes to somewhere else, he spotted a brunette girl walking over to him, smiling seductively at him, he flashed a smirk at her. He eyed her up and down, she looked quite good. Dark brown hair that reached her mid-back, black eyes, white spaghetti strap top, brown mini skirt, white high heels. She neared him, slightly breathless from her last dance. "Wanna dance handsome?" She said, her face close to his, he placed a hand on her waist and got off of his chair. "Sure thing beauty." With that, Naruto's empty coke can was left at the bar while they danced with each other.

"What's your name hon'?" She half-yelled into his ear, making herself heard above the loud music from above the dance-floor. Naruto leant down towards her own ear and yelled into it. "Jun!" He lied. Well, he kinda had to, he didn't want everyone to know his real name, and he knew that she would be gone by the end of next dance anyway, so it didn't matter to be honest. "And yours?" The girl smiled seductively and placed her hands on his chest while they danced along to the music, he had both hands around her waist now. "Ren-chan!" They smiled at each other and danced while feeling each other up, not that the other dancers gave a damn, they were either dancing, groping each other, making out, or secretly drug dealing... He gave a small gasp that went unheard, the girl's hand had gone up the back of his shirt, feeling his back-muscles, he retaliated by letting the fingers on his right hand briefly go up her top. She also let out a silent gasp and grinned at him, licking her lips. She stood on her tip-toes and gave him a sloppy kiss, the song ended and she waved goodbye to him.

Naruto knew that deep down, he longed for a girl that wouldn't disappear after the song ended. He wanted a girl that would walk over to the bar with him and talk with him about all types of stuff. He knew he wanted a long-term relationship, and not a couple of one night stands.

It was nice lovey-dovey for a while, but all too soon it was bye-bye, no return.

He sighed and sat back at his seat at the bar, he ordered a beer. The bartender gave him the alcohol, he paid for it and chugged the drink down.

Kagen loved drinking. She couldn't describe the nice feeling in her throat when the beer slid down. She just liked it that way. Of course she didn't drink a lot, but she enjoyed it when she had her liquor. And right now she was having a drinking contest with Hatsu, Lavi and Shikamaru's dance partner, Temari. She swung her head back lightly and finished the last drop of the bottle, she slammed the bottle down onto the table. "I win!" Temari yelled triumphantly, Shikamaru smiled at her, he was sitting it out. Kagen pouted. "Aauwe, you sure can hold your liquor." Temari smirked at her. "Who said I could?" Kagen's eyes widened, she got out a pill from her back pocket and gave it to her. "You may want to take this if you want to avoid the mother of hangovers." Temari wisely took the pill and put it in her pocket. She turned to Shikamaru to ask him- "It really does work. A friend of ours managed to create a pill that would drown out the after effects of drinking too much, believe me when I say that she," He pointed at Kagen. "has taken that pill before and has been very thankful for it as well." Kagen blushed a light shade of pink. A man came behind her and peaked at her cleavage, he smiled and asked her to dance. "Wanna dance with me lovey?" He went into her personal space, being incredibly crude to her. "I could make you feel really good ya know." Kagen's turquoise eyes hardened, she lifted up her left hand and flashed her ring at him. "I'm every so sorry , but I'm engaged, now get lost bucko."

The man flushed and walked away, muttering something about 'fucking married bitches'. Kagen heard him -unfortunately for the man- she threw her drink at him, he fell to the floor, unconscious. A few people gasped loudly, but no one really saw what had happened, the place was crowded and was bustling with noise and moving bodies. Kagen smirked at Lavi's passive face -he was used to her characteristics- and started another drinking round.

Sasuke and Sakura were dancing with each other, the music was the famous "Hands up" by the Black Eyed Peas. Sasuke's hands kept going lower than her waist, and Sakura's foot would lightly stomp his own wherever he did it. Sasuke winced when her heel hit his big toe, she smirked and kissed him, he gladly kissed her back, they could have sworn that they had heard Naruto hooting at them from the bar.

A girl came up to Naruto and very boldly asked if he wanted to make out with her after a dance. Naruto sighed and looked her up and down. Her skin-tight black top was ruffled and her lovely black locks were looking wild, giving off a real party feel. Her light blue skinny jeans hugged her, he couldn't help but notice that her legs were her best feature. He absently nodded at her. Okay, so he was OK with a quick make out, but he really, REALLY wanted a long-term girlfriend. She smiled at him and kissed him, her wet tongue traced his slightly parted lips. She grabbed his hand. "Come on! Let's go to a private room!" The girl ran off with Naruto in tow. She opened up the girl's toilets door and shoved a slightly flushed Naruto into a cubicle, she got in after him and locked the door. She looked at him seductively and slung her arms over his neck, kissing him deeply, he kissed her back, his arms around her waist. She parted from him and took off his orange tank top, he lifted his arms up to oblige with her needs. She put the shirt onto the closed toilet lid and kept kissing him, her hands tracing his chest. He moaned into her mouth when she traced her fingers over his abs, he was sensitive there.

She made him sit on the closed toilet seat, she sat on his lap and kissed his lips. He grabbed the hem of her top and pulled it over her head, she let him take it off. She was wearing a black lingerie bra. She crushed her full chest against his flat one and licked and sucked lightly at the back of his right ear. (left for her) He pulled a bit at the back of her bra, his left hand groping her behind and the tight material there. "You have such a nice body blondie, I love it." She whispered into his ear, her black eyes locked with his black ones as well. He smirked at her and ground his hips upwards, she gasped slightly and flushed, both of their legs were spread and she was sat on him. He sat up straight and cupped her face, kissing her deeply. She moaned and submitted to him, he undid her bra strap, she absently took it off, her top half of her body now naked. Half an hour later Naruto emerged from the toilets, his face incredibly flushed. He went back to the bar and caught the last of the song. "Don't trust a ho, never trust a ho, don't trust me…" He knew the song from somewhere, Atsuko had been singing the song nearly non-stop when it came out in Japan. "Don't trust me" by 3OH3!

"Another one night stand foxy?" Kiba snickered. Naruto groaned and flopped down next to him on the bar seat. He quickly ordered another beer and paid for it, he took a few gulps of it before putting it back down again. He sighed loudly. "Yeah, I really want a girlfriend." Kiba sighed and patted his back, sympathising with him. "When's dog boy going to find his dog girl?" Naruto half-sighed and half-laughed, he took another gulp of the alcohol. "And when's Master Foxy going to meet Miss Foxy?" Kiba spotted Tenten dancing with a boy her age with dark chocolate brown hair. He pointed at the two. "Oi Naruto, check out Tenny. She's found herself a man." Naruto looked over at the dance-floor. He smiled at the look in the tomboy's eyes. "Yeah, duya think he'll be more than a one nighter?" Kiba nodded. "Definatly, I'm sure of it, wanna bet on it?" Naruto shrugged and took out a hundred yen coin, Kiba laughed at him. "Are you honestly broke?" Naruto shrugged again. "Nope, I also think that he's gonna be more than a one nighter, so why bet on it if we both agree?" Kiba nodded and ordered another beer.

Naruto spotted a girl out of the corner of his eye, she was backing away into a corner, a man saying something to her. Naruto downed his beer and walked over to them, he now heard the man. "…on't you wanna dance with me? Or we could go out back if you want darling." Naruto walked behind the girl, he placed his hands on her shoulders, she yelped loudly. Naruto looked at the man seriously. "Aren't you the one that tried to molest some girl when she agreed to go out back with you, and stop trying to sell drugs to this girl, she doesn't like it. Leave." The man scowled at him, but he left anyway. Naruto let go of the girl, she turned around and nearly head-butted him. "Arrigato gosaimasu!" She said, bowing to him, Naruto laughed it off. "That's okay, you're new here right? You shouldn't go near that door so much, you never know who tries to pick you up there." They both walked over to the bar, Kiba eyed them but kept his mouth shut. He got off of his seat and went to dance. Naruto sat at his seat while the girl took Kiba's. The girl had long, raven coloured hair that looked almost pitch-black, lightly tanned skin and had very light grey eyes, they had a hint of dark blue in them that made her eyes look almost lavender. She wore a dark purple tank top and black jeans with white trainers.

He felt almost bad looking at her very full cleavage. And she had a damn fine hourglass shape, and her hips were lovely.

"So what's your name? Mine's Naruto." Naruto asked, he had a feeling that this girl would stay for more than a single dance. The girl blushed lightly. "Hinata. I live nearby, but this is my first time going here." Naruto nodded, he smiled at her, she smiled back at him. "I also live nearby. Um, uh,… do you want to dance with me? Y-you don't have to if you don't want to." Naruto mumbled slightly. Damnit! He hated getting shy, but he was actually a shy-guy, he couldn't help it! The song "Dance Wiv Me" from Calvin Harris Ft. Dizziee Rascal came on, Hinata smiled and gently gestured towards the dance-floor. "Dance with me Naruto." Hinata said, he smiled at her and they both walked off to the dance-floor. The real part of the song came on and they and everybody else started dancing. The shook their hips and swayed their bodies, they raised their arms and swayed them around, Hinata shook her long hair from side to side, she giggled while he laughed, when the 'Ooh' parts came they both leaned in to each other and mouthed the words, he gently placed his hands on each side of her waist, she blushed lightly but let him, she put her hands on his shoulders. The lights went around the room, flashing, sparkling, and even the laser beams went on and off, cheers and laughter ran through the two-story disco club and they danced on.

They kept on dancing, even when the song changed into "Bonkers" by Dizzie Rascal, the Dj yelled that it was a special request. The dancers cheered and some swung their drinks around. As the song started to reach it's max, Hinata started moving her top body around and waving her arms around comically, Naruto laughed, it seemed like everyone was doing it. Then, the song reached it's climax and everybody in the CallHouse Club yelled "Bonkers!" Hinata moved her body around in well-executed hip-hop moves.

I wake up every day it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep

And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I gotta get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip

Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me

Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e

BONKERS!

I wake up everyday it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep

And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip

Bonkers

Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me

Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me

Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now

I wake up everyday it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep

And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip

Bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon

Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about meeeeee

Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about meeeeee

Bonkers

I wake up everyday it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep

And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip

Bonkers

Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me

Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me!

The song gradually ended, they both went back to the bar and ordered some water to cool down. When they deemed that they had cooled down enough, they went back and danced again, then went back to chat at the bar.

"Oh!" Hinata's mobile phone beeped, she took it out and saw that it was already time to leave, it was nearly 1 'o' clock. She sadly looked at Naruto. "I have to go now, my flatmates are also leaving now, but it was really nice meeting you Naruto. Can I perhaps have your phone number?" Naruto looked slightly downtrodden but still exchanged phones with her, they both punched their phone numbers into their phones. They each gave their phone back. Hinata saw her flatmate Temari saying goodbye to a boy with a ponytail. She gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek and they both said goodbye. Temari and Hinata waited with another boy at the exit, they were waiting for Neji, Hinata's cousin and Lee's -the boy standing next to Temari- friend. Neji was dancing with a girl. So they waited for the song to end.

Naruto felt too hot for comfort and this went out the back door to get some fresh air, he saw a girl with platinum blonde hair in a ponytail waiting outside the doors, he saw the back of Hinata before he walked on. Neji finished dancing with the girl and went over to the three others waiting for him. "Come on, Ino's waiting outside."

Naruto walked across the pavement slowly, trying to cool down his overheated body, he fanned his left hand in front of his face, blowing the cool night's air against his flushed face. "At this rate my tattoos are gonna show." He quietly mumbled to himself. He could hear -slightly- footsteps from not so far behind himself, most likely people leaving the club or cooling off just like him. He absently walked past an alleyway.

Bad move.

Someone reached out at lighting speeds and grabbed hold of his shoulders, dragging him into the alleyway. Naruto yelled out in surprise and shock. He felt a damp, horrible smelling cloth being clamped over his nose and mouth. Naruto struggled and squirmed, he screamed. But the man -he could feel that it was a man- held onto his, slowly dragging him to the ground. Naruto's black eyes drooped, the last thing he saw were several pairs of feet appearing around the corner, the last thing he felt was the cloth being removed and a clean one being shoved into his mouth, with another cloth going around his head and mouth, gagging him. The second last thing he felt was a zip rope tightening over his wrists, binding them together.

His drugged mind just managed to register that he was being kidnapped by a Baiter before he passed out.

"Waaah!" Hinata's head snapped towards the sound, it was from where the blonde haired, black eyed, teenage boy known as Naruto had disappeared. Temari and Neji were also eyeing the place suspiciously, wondering if one of his friends had pranked him, if he had just fallen over, or if he really was in trouble. She heard a scream this time, she ran towards the place where her last dance partner had disappeared, her friends and cousin right behind her. And there, was a man in a balaclava holding a gagged and bound Naruto. His eyes drooped and closed, she spotted a big cloth and black bottle next to the man in the balaclava.

Knock out drugs.

The man hastily threw the blond teenager into the back of his car, he hurried to get into his car. It registered in Hinata's mind that this man was going to escape with kidnapping. Hinata ran over to the man and tried punching him, he ducked and punched her in the stomach, she gasped and stepped back, clutching her stomach. Neji, Temari and Lee soon were fighting with the man. A left kick here, a well-placed punch to the sternum, an arm block. Hinata and Ino tried opening the door to the car, but he had locked it. Ino shook her head about, searching for something to use to break the window glass. "There!" She ran over and grabbed the red brick, she threw it at the window, it smashed loudly. Hinata grabbed the door handle on the inside and unlocked it, she ripped the door open. She grabbed the blond's feet. "Ino! Help me!" Ino went inside the hulking red 4x4 and gently took hold of the teen's shoulders. Together they got the near-kidnapped teenager out of the car.

Lee distracted the man from punching Temari by making a ridiculously loud Kung-Fu noise. "Oraaaagooh!" The man whizzed around, ready to block a punch that wasn't thrown. Neji grabbed a brick and hit him on the back of the head with it, right in the middle. The man was pretty much unconscious after that. Temari kicked the man in the crotch just to make sure, when he groaned loudly but didn't move, she ran over to Hinata and Ino. Hinata was holding the teen's feet while Ino held his hands. "He okay?" Lee asked, Hinata and Ino gently placed him down on the floor, Neji felt his pulse. "He's okay, he'll probably wake up tomorrow afternoon." Lee got out a pocketknife and cut the gag and zip rope, freeing the blond from his bounding. A small trickle of blood ran down the corner of his mouth. He coughed several times and groaned loudly. Hinata started fussing over him. "He- he was about to be kidnapped! W-why?" Neji looked at Naruto with a grim expression. "Either that was planned out carefully by kidnappers or he's gotten himself into a lot of trouble." Lee nodded. "Isn't it said that yakuza's bleach their hair? Perhaps that was a rival yakuza or something." Ino snorted.

"I don't think so, his hair is about as light as mine, and it's too light to be bleached. That's means that that's his natural hair-colour." Ino looked at them all, she was actually part English, all her family was blonde. Hinata shook her head. "But he spoke perfect Japanese; he even spoke a bit of slang, so he couldn't possibly be a foreigner." Temari nodded as well, the group circled around the unconscious Uzumaki. "Yeah, he would have an accent. Check his ID." Lee ruffled through his pockets, he got out his wallet and flipped it open. "Uzumaki Naruto, age; 17, nearly 18, Nationality; half Japanese." Lee read out loud for everyone to hear. "I think that solves the matter. But what should we do with him? We can hardly leave him here." Neji concluded. Temari looked around. "We don't even know who his friends are." She sounded at loss for what to do. "We'll take him to our apartment, when he wakes up we can tell him what happened." Hinata said, the tone in her voice indicating that it was the final decision. Neji snorted. "Fine, but we're coming over tomorrow morning. We'll take this guy," Neji jerked his thumb at the man in the balaclava. "To our place and tie him up, we'll bring him over as well. Perhaps this Uzumaki will know who he is."

Naruto woke up with a big headache.

He sat up and cursed quietly. He realised that he was laying on a sofa in a living room. He got off of the sofa without a sound, he heard noise coming from the kitchen area. His eyes swept the room, his eyes settled on a tennis racket, he grabbed it, using it as a makeshift bat. He hid behind the corner of the doorframe, waiting for someone to come out. A figure came out, he swung the tennis racket and realised with a jolt that it was Hinata, the girl that he had danced and talked with last night. He managed to steer the racket away from her nose bridge and make it hit the doorframe, she screamed loudly. Other people ran out of the kitchen, the boy that had danced with Tenten last night tackled him to the ground, he fought against Neji, but Lee came and added his weight to the dog pile. "Gah! No! Lemme go bastard! Lemme- OOOMPH!" The air was knocked out of his lungs when Neji jabbed him between his ribs. Lee and Neji got off of him, he scrambled away from them. "Where the fuck am I?" He yelled at the two boys. Temari realised that the Uzumaki didn't know that they had rescued him. "Calm down! Everyone calm down!" Hinata stood next to her. "We saved you last night from that kidnapper." Ino said.

Naruto calmed down a lot after that. "Oh. Uh, um… Thanks, I, um, thought that I WAS kidnapped you see, so, err, yeah." Said a very embarrassed Uzumaki, he scratched his cheek. He realised that his face was wet. His eyes widened. If his face was wet, then the concealer must have gone off, and that meant that his whiskers were most likely 100% visible. "What did that guy want with you? We've tried to get him to talk, but he's been silent the hole time." Naruto paled. "You,… You didn't bring him with you right?" He squeaked at him. "Um, we did." Naruto paled even more. He had found out that Baiters travelled in groups of two to five, so if one was caught, the other could track them by the hidden tracking devise on their person. "They travel in two's or more, they have tracking devices on their person." Hinata blanched. "Um, we tried to phone your friends, but your phone was on lock, and you are the only one who knows the code." She went to the kitchen and came back with his silver mobile phone. He gratefully sat on the sofa and dialled Kagen's number. "Hey Kagen!" Uzumaki held the phone at arms distance as he could clearly hear her shouting at him. "Where the fuck are you you asshole? I've already lost Shin-kun, I don't need you going MIA on me!" Naruto winced and gingerly brought his ear back to the phone. "Listen Kagen, I'm only going to say it once." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "A Baiter got me last night, but some kids saved me, but they brought the guy with them!" He asked Temari what their address was, ignoring the very audible: "WHAT THE FUCK?" After a minute, he flipped his phone closed. "A few of my friends are on their way. Knowing them, they shouldn't be so long."

Neji and Lee started asking him pointless questions like; 'is that your real hair colour?', 'are you really Japanese?'. Hinata and Temari saved him by bringing in some food for the group. After a few minutes the doorbell rang, Ino went to answer it. Naruto's phone rung, he answered it. "Naruto! There's a Baiter at the door! Whatever you do, DON'T LET HIM IN!" Naruto's phone slipped out of his hands, it fell onto the carpet. "Hey Naruto! Your friends are here!" Naruto paled and looked at the man next to a smiling Ino in horror; he was getting something out of his inner jacket...

Naruto sprang up and jumped the man, they fell to the floor with a crash, the Baiter's gun whizzing through the air and landing with a clatter on the floor next to him. Ino screamed while Neji and Lee yelled in shock. Naruto managed to punch the man twice before he grabbed the gun and shot it at the Uzumaki. The shot rang through the air, Naruto froze as he felt warm blood trickle down his left cheek. The man aimed his gun at his forehead next, smirking at him. "WHAT THE FUCK'S HAPPENING?" Hinata screamed. Naruto growled at the man. "He's one of the men that attacked me last night." He scowled and stiffened as the man clicked back the safety. "Very good boy, it took us a while to catch you." The flat owners gasped, a murder was going to happen in their living quarters! "Get off of me boy, I want everyone to stand in a straight line against the wall." Naruto growled at him and steadily rose from the man, the gun following him. Naruto unexpectedly kicked the man in the balls, he shot at Naruto but missed, he dropped the gun and grabbed his painful anatomy.

Temari ran to get the pistol while Naruto stomped on the Baiter's hands and crotch. He yelled in pain, Naruto crouched down and punched him in the jaw. Temari aimed the gun at the Baiter's head, a serious look in her vivid teal eyes. "Don't move or you'll get it." The door burst open and in ran Kagen, Lavi and Sasuke. "Holy shit! Naruto are you okay?" Lavi yelped when he was met with four angry gazes and one murderous one. "Can somebody tell me WHY that man was after you?" Hinata yelled. Kagen's turquoise eyes travelled to her lavender-ish- ones. "There are bad people everywhere, and they target anyone." The Baiter got a glimpse of Kagen, he pointed at her, his voice hoarse and weird, his injured jaw making his words slightly deformed. "You...!" Naruto grabbed the gun from Temari's hands and pistol whipped him, he slumped to the floor, unconscious. Neji scowled at the four teenagers. "Spill it. Why were those men after you? I'm losing patience." Sasuke thought up of a good enough excuse. "Auum, well, you see..." Sasuke kicked the carpeted floor a bit, fiddling. "We come from a not so nice place, and one time we saw those guys committing a crime, so they chased us. Uh, yea…" Naruto and Lavi briefly looked at Sasuke, Kagen kept face and played along. "They've threatened us before about it all, but they still try to harm us if they see us. We've always escaped from them, but Naruto…" Kagen looked at Naruto, he looked at the floor.

An awkward silence spread through the room…

Neji sighed and put his palm over his forehead. "Just go. Get out now, we won't tell anyone, but for Christ's sake, take those two with you." Kagen nodded, Lee showed her where the other Baiter was kept. The foursome ran for their lives along with the two Baiters. They all got into Kagen's car, shoving the Baiters into the boot along the way. They went to a quiet clearing and Lavi got out his gun. He clicked back the safety, he sighed and closed his eyes. "Here goes nothing." BANG BANG! Lavi turned on his heel and sprinted to the car, he could hear startled people coming his way. Kagen raced away.

It was rather awkward at the flat, Hinata pondered about Uzumaki Naruto, Lee just accepted them as weird and turned on the TV, Temari sighed and sat next to him, Ino went off to go onto Facebook, and Neji's expression was unreadable. Half an hour the news came on, Lee turned the volume up higher. "Hey guys, check this out!" The news reporter, Hibaku Miako, turned to the news board. "Last month a gang managed to break into Tokai, bank of Nagoya and steal 1. 500.000 Yen. We ask you to report ANY of the following people to the Police if you have seen them anywhere!" The picture on the bottom left zoomed in and filled the screen, pictures of gang members in disguise appeared on the screen with their possible names. "S-CHAN" It was the picture of a young woman with mint green hair that was in thick princess curls that reached her shoulder blades, she had a mix of emerald and jade coloured eyes, her skin was a milky-cream. "HASSAN" It was a man with a black moustache and a midnight blue wig that was styled flat and reached his mid-neck. He wore a set of thick, black rimmed, glasses that blurred his eyes ever so slightly, he had jade eyes. Another picture came on. "HIKA" It was a young man that had a balaclava on. He had dark brown eyes and his chestnut brown hair peaked out from the bottom of his balaclava. His balaclava was dark brown. A rather ridiculous name came on the screen, accompanied by the picture. "UCCHI" It was of a man with flat, grey hair and yellow eyes, he wore a black handkerchief covering his lower nose bridge and mouth. A picture of a woman came on now. "K-CHAN/ KAA-CHAN" She had tanned skin and had long, black hair that was in a single plat/braid. She had blue-turquoise eyes that were outlined with black mascara. There were also a few more people in balaclavas, but you only saw their eyes and their nicknames. "CHEEKY MONKEY", "TUTU", "GUREENO", "HAKA", "DOG BOY" and "FUKA". The screen came back to the cute Hibaku Miako, she had a serious look on her face. "We have deliberately kept this one as last, to stress our point that he is incredibly dangerous. He has managed to outrun the police several times flawlessly, and he always manages to trick them into going the wrong direction."

Lee leaned forward in his seat, his elbows resting on his knees. Temari was sat to his right, she was sat back but had her eyes glued to the screen. Hinata was sat next to her on the right arm of the sofa, Neji was standing behind the sofa, his hands on the edge of it. And Ino was sat at the left end of the sofa with her legs swung over the arm, a laptop on her lap with her fingers tracing the keyboard.

Hibaku Miako gestured to a picture in the bottom left, it zoomed in.

Sunshine blond hair spiked in every direction possible and luminous red slitted eyes stared at the people looking at the screen. The young male grinned at the screen, sharp teeth showing. This picture was the only full portrait one. He wore a grey hoodie with light grey, fake fur lining around the rim of the hood. He had a white cloth around his right forearm with an orange swirling circle on it. His jacket was open, showing off his chiselled and muscular chest, a black spiralling tattoo around his navel. He wore light grey-ish-blue, baggy cargo trousers with a black gun holster around his right thigh. He wore black trainers and dark grey leather gloves. Around his neck was a blue and grey bandana/handkerchief. He had three whisker tattoos on each cheek. Under his photo were thick, bold letters saying: FOX KID. Miako gestured something to someone, she then talked. "We have also managed to get a recording of the bank's CCTV camera, please watch."

The camera was obviously tucked away into a corner in the left side of the bank, it had a 150% percent view of what was going on. The screen was black and white. An old man walked into the bank, he was obviously drunk and a beggar, just as a staff member was about to escort him to the exit, the man pulled out a gun and shot him in the forearm. People screamed silently, an arrow appeared on the screen pointing at the man, FOX KID. Fox kid gestured wildly to someone, the glass doors broke and in stormed more armed people. Arrows appeared and told the watchers their names. UCCHI, S-CHAN and MONKEY. They fired their ammo into the ceiling, a intimidation tactic, people were silently screaming and laying in the floor. Fox kid threw the liquor bottle and blanket away, revealing his outfit underneath. White letters appeared at the bottom of the screen, telling the watchers what they were saying. "Oi mother**kers! Give us the cash! (FOX KID)" More gang members appeared, arrows pointing them out and their names. K-chan hit an incoming security guard with a metal pipe, he hit the floor and stayed still. Hika fired a round from his small pocket gun and talked mutely. "Don't pull any stuff on us, or he'll get it! (Hika)" A clearly terrified and trembling woman came up to them with her hands next to her head, hands in the air. "P-P-Please f-follow me, I will sh-show you to the vault. (bank secretary)" Four people followed her; Fuka, Dog Boy, K-chan and Monkey went with her. Hika and a two others were keeping the maintenance of the security, scanning the roads for police and listening for police-sirens. A few minutes later the four gang members came back with the scared woman. Monkey patted her shoulder. "Thanks a lot lady, you're nice! (Monkey)" The gang fled, but before they completely disappeared, Fox Kid shot a round in the ceiling, keeping the people on the floor in fear. "SEE YA ROUND F**KERS! WE THE NINJA OF THE EAST!"

Hinata stared at the screen with wide eyes, total silence reigned in the living room. "So…" Temari said in a hoarse voice, Hinata craned her stiff neck towards the frozen dirty blond haired woman. She felt robotic and shocked down to the core. "Last night…" Temari was having difficulties getting the words out. "We saved and partly befriended a criminal?" Neji said in a monotone voice. "Yeah. We're in trouble." Hinata managed to finally get out.

They were in deep shit.

Oh boy.
