I don't own Naruto. Damn sure wish I did though.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other. They both started thinking. Ok, Sasuke started thinking and Naruto started running his mouth without saying anything.
"Naruto, shut up for a second, I gottat think," Sasuke said.
"Aw, c'mon Sasuke, I'm bored! I'm a doer, not a thinker!" Naruto replied.
"You said not ten seconds ago that your not the dumbest, what happened to that?" Sasuke asked with a satisfied smirk.
"Aw whatever! You know what I meant."
"Hn. Can we get back on subject before I reach old age?"
"Up yours. And what do you mean?"
"I mean, who do we know who can play the drums? Or the bass?"
"Don't forget an effects guy."
"Ok, so who do we know who can do that?"
"No one can do that all at once!" Naruto said, a confused look on his face.
"Are you serious?"
"No, I'm fuckin' with you. And doesn't that guy Neji play the drums?"
"Neji? Hn." Sasuke trailed off.
"Yo, Sasuke?"
"Shut up dobe. And yeah, I think he does."
"So let's get him!"
"No."
"No?" Naruto questioned.
"No. No way am I gonna be around that guy for more than five minutes."
"Why?"
"We've got a history. Leave it at that."
"Whatever, who else?" Naruto began to lose patience.
As Sasuke began to think, Naruto began coughing loudly.
"Hey dumbass," Sasuke said, "why'd you come out here without a coat?"
"Fuck you. I better get inside."
"Whatever, meet me after school tommorow, we need to figure some of this shit out."
"Alright, later man," Naruto said as he walked back to his house.
'Why didn't he grab a damn coat?' Sasuke thought, looking at his friend walk awaym shivering, 'come to think of it, why didn't I grab a damn coat?'
Sasuke began walking back to his house, still deep in thought, waiting for tommorow, and talking about the band with Naruto.
The Next Morning:
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Naruto groaned as he started to get up. He glared at his alarm clock before slamming his hand down on the stop button.
"Fuckin' school," he mumbled as he walked toward his bathroom. He grabbed his clothes on his way there.
"Fuckin' sick all weekend, couldn't go to the damn show with Sasuke, missed out on the hot ass metalhead babes," he grumbled as he got out of the shower and began to dress.
Naruto glanced at the clock and jumped, class started 20 minutes ago!
"Fuck it," he said, "I'll just tell 'em I got sick today."
He started making himself breakfast, instant ramen and a glass of orange juice, wondering what exactly Sasuke meant when he said, "...we need to figure some of this shit out."
"Probably a band name and where to get some gear."
He finished up, grabbed his car keys, and walked out the door.
After School:
'Dammit, where's Naruto?' Sasuke thought, impatient.
Sasuke look around again. He was sitting on the marble fountain in front Akatsuki High School, where both he and Naruto were seniors. It was a prestigious school in the middle of the city with a lot of fuckin' rich snobs who were so focused on the school's looks, they let their rich brats run around smokin' pot and drinking.
Sasuke then looked up, and saw something that left him breathless. A beautiful girl with shocking pink hair was walking toward the parking lot with a group of her friends. One had long, blond hair and sky-blue eyes, one with sandy hair pulled into four ponytails in the back, one who looked Chinese with her brown hair pulled into two buns and Chinese-style clothes, and the last had semi-long, blue-black hair and pale white eyes.
'Must be a Hyuuga.' Sasuke thought. He redirected his attention to the pink-haired girl. He couldn't help but stare, he'd never seen someone so, well, fuckin' hot!
"Ah, so you've seen our resident punk rockers have ya?" a voice said.
Sasuke turned around and saw Naruto staring at the girls too. Only, it was painfully obvious he only had eyes for the Hyuuga.
"Looks like I'm not the only one interested," Sasuke smirked.
"Whatever," Naruto said, watching the girls pulling away, the pink-haired girl driving.
"So you know them?" Sasuke asked.
"Not personally," Naruto said while he pulled a portable radio out of his backpack, "I have Sakura and Temari in my science class. They're always talking about their recent gigs and shit."
"Sakura? Temari?"
"Oh yeah, Temari's the one with the ponytails. And Sakura's the one you were just drooling over."
"Fuck you. And they're in a band?"
"Yep, full on punkers. All five of 'em I think. Sakura Haruno, Temari no Sabaku, Ino Yamanaka, Tenten Basuran, and Hinata Hyuuga. "
"Punkers? Hn."
"I know right?" Naruto said as he popped in Metallica's newest album, Death Magnetic.
The two started listening to Broken, Beat & Scarred.
"Man, this song kicks ass!" Naruto shouted, turning the volume up to the max.
"Hell yeah!" Sasuke shouted back, starting to sing along, his voice similar to James Hetfield's, but retaining his own style.
You rise,
You fall,
You're down, then you rise again
What don't kill ya make ya more strong.
You rise,
You fall,
You're down, then you rise again
What don't kill ya make ya more strong.
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don't kill ya make ya more strong.
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don't kill ya make ya more strong.
Through black days
Through black nights
Through pitch black insides
Just then, then schools principal Orochimaru walked up, followed by his right hand man Kabuto, and shut off the radio.
"See sir," Kabuto started, "I told you these brats were playing that filth!"
"I see you weren't lying," Orochimaru began in his prison warden voice, "now tell me boys, why did you think it was a good idea to play that pathetic excuse for music in front of my school? I'm afraid I'll have to confiscate that now."
Naruto looked at Sasuke as a small crowd began to form. Sasuke smirked and nodded.
"Oh, now Mr. Orochimaru," began Sasuke, sarcasm dripping off every word, "is that entirely necessary?"
"I agree," stated Naruto, "we won't do it again, I promise."
Both the boys and the crowd, increasing in size, chuckled at the idignant look on Orochimaru's face, and the irate look on Kabuto's.
"How dare you talk to Principal Orochimaru like that!" shouted Kabuto, "You're lucky I have no power or else I'd-"
"You'd what Kabuto? Give us detention? Suspend us? Expell us?" Naruto said, taunting Kabuto.
"I'd make you pay for your words!" Kabuto replied, increasingly angry.
"But you don't have any power do you? That's why you hang around the principal like a lost dog, hoping he'll throw you a bone isn't it?" Sasuke replied with a satisfied smirk.
Orochimaru was only just quick enough to step in front of Kabuto as he leapt forward. Naruto and Sasuke only laughed.
"It doesn't matter what he'd do," began Orochimaru, "it matters what I will do. Now give me the radio and any music you have on you and report to the detention room now!"
Naruto and Sasuke again shared a glance, and Naruto smirked this time.
"No can do today boss," Naruto said, "we've got places to go. We'll get back to you some other time!"
And with that, the two grabbed their things, and Naruto's radio, and ran to Sasuke's pitch black Chevy Corvette Z06. Sasuke drove away with Naruto hanging out the window laughing as Orochimaru and Kabuto tried to catch them on foot. The students cheered loudly.
Naruto sat back down inside the car and turned on the radio. Out came Motörhead's We Are (The Road Crew) at full blast. The two boys smirked and started headbanging. Considering Sasuke was driving, this was probably pretty dangerous, but what the fuck did they care?
"So Sasuke," Naruto said after the song was over, "what did you wanna talk about?"
"Isn't it obvious dobe?"
"The band idea?"
"Yep, the band idea."
So what'd you think of this one? I made it a lot longer this time around. I'm thinking this might be the average length from here on in. How'd you like the song choice? I love Death Magnetic, although it's not quite as good as old Metallica. I just thought that'd be the song Orochimaru would hate the most, plus Broken, Beat & Scarred is one of the best songs on the album. You know the drill folks, review if you wanna see any improvement, cuz otherwise I'll think this is perfect.
