A Break from Fame
Chapter 2
"We're going back to Konoha." Jiraiya repeated
"What about our tour!" Kiba said
"What about our concert!" Neji said
"What about Naruto." Shikamaru said in a bored voice once again poking the unconscious blonde with his foot.
At that moment everyone remembered the knocked out boy lying on the floor. "Help me carry him to his bed Kiba." Jiraiya said grabbing Naruto's feet. "Alright." Kiba said grabbing Naruto's arms. Shikamaru and Neji stepped out of the way the best they could in the crowed area.
When Jiraiya and Kiba got to the small room with the bed compartments they went to put Naruto on his, but in their way was Akamaru Kiba's pet dog sprawled out on the bed. "Akamaru down." Kiba said the dog obediently jumped off the bed and went to lay on the one across from Naruto's. "I hate that damn dog." Jiraiya said making Akamaru growl at the statement. "Careful I can't control him when I'm asleep." Kiba said smirking.
They set Naruto down on the bed and started to walk back to the others. "You think he'll be okay." Kiba asked. "He always is." Jiraiya said simply
When they made their way back Jiraiya motioned them to the dinning room/ kitchen area so there would be more space. "So I'm guessing you guy's aren't happy about the sudden return home right." Jiraiya said. "We have a concert tomorrow, are we just going to cancel?" Neji asked. "No that's the last concert on the map and you guys have nothing scheduled afterward so it fits in, I'm not going to be responsible for angry fans that bought their tickets in advance." He said getting up and walking over to the fridge and pulling out a bottle of sake. "Why are we going back there anyways?" Kiba said annoyed. When Kiba left Konoha he left on bad terms with his mom, she didn't want Kiba to leave but he told her that he was going no matter what she said and stormed out of the house. His dad was in the army or so his mom had told him, and he hadn't seen him since he was four years old.
"Your mom called, Shikamaru's parents called, and Neji's Uncle called, they said they wanted you guys home." Jiraiya said pouring himself a drink. "I would like to see my folks again, it's been like a year and a half since we've seen them." Shikamaru said with a bored tone looking up at the ceiling. "Well as long as we're not disappointing the fans." Neji stated.
"You guy's can do what you want I'm not going back!" Kiba yelled.
"And where would you go?" Jiraiya asked.
"I don't know I'll crash at a fans house or something."
"No you won't."
"Watch me."
"Trust me you won't." Jiraiya said looking the teen in the eyes.
"What makes you think you can stop me?" Kiba asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Simple… these two." Jiraiya said pointing at the two people sitting on ether side of him.
"It is true, I won't let you run away." Neji stated simply.
"What a drag." Was all Shikamaru said.
Kiba knew that he could take Shikamaru but he didn't stand a chance in a fight with Neji. "Fine… I'll go." He sighed "I'm going to bed wake me when we get in the next town." Kiba said as he walked to the back of the bus. He went to the bed across from Naruto. "Up boy." The dog moved so Kiba could climb in the bed. "I really hope they can forgive me." Kiba said to himself before drifting off into sleep. Shikamaru and Neji stayed up for another 2 hours before they went to sleep. Jiraiya stayed up and got drunk till the bus reached their destination. As best as the drunken man could he walked or stumbled to the back of the bus. "Hey… hey we're in that one place you wanted" he slurred to Kiba while he shook him.
Kiba unpleasantly woke up to Jiraiya's breath which reeked of alcohol. "Alright you drunk." He said pushing the man away from him then rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Kiba got up went pee, then headed to the kitchen to make coffee, he got the coffee from the cupboard and put water and the coffee grounds in the coffee pot and started it.
"You're up early." Said Jim the bus driver
"Hmm… what time is it." Kiba answered with a yawn
"6:34." Jim answered
"That man Stayed up drinking till now" Kiba said as he when to the fridge to get milk.
"No he ran out of alcohol a few hours ago." Jim said laughing
"Ahh…" Kiba said getting cereal and a bowl then pouring him some breakfast.
The coffee was done when Kiba finished eating. He when over to the sink washed his bowl and spoon then got a coffee mug and poured himself some coffee. "You mind topping me off." Jim said holding out his cup for Kiba. "Sure thing" Kiba said grabbing the cup and pouring some coffee in it. "Do you want anything in it?" Kiba asked. "Just put a little sugar in it" Jim replied. Kiba did as he said and handed the cup back to him. "Thanks kid." Jim said.
Jim was a man that the record company that had signed the band on had hired to drive the bus. He was a man of maybe thirty-five or so years old. He had short cropped brown hair that had a slight mix of gray in it. Jim was about five foot nine or so and had a slender build, Jim had been very reliable in the five month tour, he knew everything about the tour bus and fixed any problem that had occurred with the bus.
Kiba spent the next few hours watching TV when Naruto walked in. "Hey Naruto." Kiba said. "Hey." The blonde replied while rubbing his head.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, but it feels like a got hit on the head with a pipe."
Kiba looked away and started to feel guilty about hitting Naruto. "Well that sucks." He said taking a drink looking away from Naruto.
"Yeah." Naruto said getting the things he needed to make himself a bowl of cereal.
"So... Tonight's the last show till we go back to Konoha."
"He's letting us play the last show, awesome."
"Jiraiya said he didn't want to deal with angry fans about us not playing tonight."
"I really don't want to go back, there's nothing there for me."
"Oh yeah… Jiraiya's your guardian isn't he."
"Yeah." Naruto said looking down.
"I'm sorry if I upset you or something." Kiba said at seeing his friend's mood change
"No... its nothing you said." He smiled.
"Alright, but if you ever need to talk I'm here for you."
"Thanks Kiba." He smiled bigger now.
As the day progressed everyone woke up before noon except Jiraiya who didn't wake up until 30 minutes until the show had to start with the worse hang-over he ever had. Lucky Jim knew what needed to be done before a show had to start.
The band had already gotten into their "show clothes" as they called them Naruto had a bright orange shirt with the bands name on it that had the sleeves torn off with black jeans that had chains hanging off them with stitches and rips all over them, Kiba wore a hoodie with short sleeves and blue jean shorts which he spray painted random streaks of red and black all over it, Shikamaru wore a black fish net shirt with shorts, and Neji wore a plain white t-shirt with tight fitting jeans that had rips at the knees.
"Jiraiya hurry up we have to be on stage in 15 minutes!" Naruto yelled
"Alright... I'm coming, just stop yelling." Jiraiya said holding his head as he walked toward the blonde.
"Alright I'll stop yelling." He yelled then laughed as Jiraiya punched him in the arm.
The band took their places on stage Naruto picked up his guitar and talked into the mic.
"You guys ready for us to play some music." He said to the audience.
Cheers rolled through the crowd.
"I can't hear you, I said are you ready for us to play some music!" he yelled
The cheers were even louder than before.
"Alright!" he yelled then pointed at Shikamaru to count them off.
The band played a large variety of their songs.
When the song that the boys were playing ended Naruto announced "We got one last song to play"
Boos came from the crowd.
"Hey, have we not played a good show so far! This last song is about myself and what I have to deal with at times." He said pointing at Shikamaru to count off again.
The music started and Naruto sang.
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal!
This animal, this animal
I can't escape myself
So many times I've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell
This animal, this animal
This animal, this animal
This animal, this animal
This animal
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal!
This animal I have become
The song ended and the crowd went crazy the band walked off stage and Shikamaru threw his drum sticks into crowd and he watched as a blonde girl with four pig tails catch them. She winked at him, he walked to the edge of the stage and pulled her up and took her back stage, a risky move, but she seemed nice enough.
"This is so cool, the Shikamaru just pulled me back stage" She said following the teen.
"Well I figured you would like those autographed." He said pointing at the drum sticks
"No way" she said a large smile starting to spread on her face.
Naruto was busy signing autographs to fans that had back stage passes. A girl with jet black hair came up to him and held out a picture of himself for him to sign. Naruto smiled at her and signed. He closed his eyes and when he opened them he was no longer Naruto… He was Kyuubi.
"Say would you like to meet the rest of the band" he said with a wicked smile
"M-M-Me" the girl stammered and pointed to herself
"Of course."
"I would love to!" she squealed
Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled her through the crowd then told security he was done there.
As they walked toward the bands changing room he stopped and pushed the girl against a wall. "So what's your name?" he asked his face inches away from hers. "J-J-Jane" she answered while blushing.
"Well Jane you're really cute." Putting his lips very close to hers causing her to blush and even brighter color.
"I-I-I… well." She was cut off by the rock stars lips touching hers, she kissed him back. He bit and licked at her lips and she complied letting his tongue enter her mouth as he slid a hand up her shirt.
"Hey." Neji said hitting Kiba's shoulder to get his attention
"What?" Kiba answered with a little attitude.
"Is it me, or is that very un-Naruto like." he said pointing to the blonde and a girl making out fiercely.
"Yeah, Naruto wouldn't do that, but that is very Kyuubi like." Kiba said walking over to the scene, Neji followed him.
The two grabbed one of the blondes arms each and pulled him toward the changing room.
"I LOVE YOU!" the girl yelled as the blonde's band mates dragged him away.
"Let me go!" the blonde commanded.
"Not a chance Kyuubi." Kiba said
"Awww you noticed…"He said with a sneer, trying to pull away from the two.
"Stop resisting" Neji said
"But she didn't say stop" He smiled, still fighting
"We won't have you ruin Naruto's rep. " Kiba said angrily
"You want me to knock him out?" Neji asked Kiba
"Go for it."
Neji then squeezed Naruto's neck and out he when.
"How did you do that?" Kiba asked looking amazed
"Just a pressure point" Neji said like it was something everyone knew how to do, still dragging the blonde back to the bus.
Else where Shikamaru was signing his drum sticks. "So what did you think of the show?" he asked the girl
"It was amazing, I love you guys" she said still in disbelief that Shikamaru was talking to her.
"Who am I signing this to?"
"Temari, T-e-m-a-r-i." she said as she watched him write on the wood
"Here you go." Handing her the sticks
"Thank you so much." She said kissing him on the lips then walking away with a smile on her face.
Shikamaru just blushed and stared as the beauty walked away. After what seemed to be a while he came back to reality and walked to the bus. When he got there he saw Naruto passed out on the couch. Shikamaru just ignored this as Naruto being unconscious was not something uncommon, and walked to his bed.
After everything was packed back on to the bus, it headed to it's next destination Konoha.
