Disclaimer: Naruto Kishimoto….
Hey guys, well I had this chapter finished about two weeks ago… but I wasn't able to type it up... At least it's here now… heh..heh..heh (sweat drop)
Chapter Two: Deer Soup
(After the show stopped airing)
"Jiraiya-sama, what are you doing as the host?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, haha, I just owed Tsunade a favor that's all" Chuckled Jiraiya.
"Tsunade-sama?" Sakura blinked.
(Flashback)
"You called Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked while walking through the doorway.
"Yeah, Well I have a bit a favor to ask of you…" Tsunade said, "How do I say this…, can you host a TV show for me? It's called Ten Unforgettable Dates..."
"What? That dating show? That's usually not your style Tsunade." Jiraiya said while smirking.
"I know…but the producers of the show, sent me a tape that was sent in as a potential contestant, you'll never guess who," Tsunade replied.
"Really? Is it…Shino? Because that guy seems like desperate. I think one time I saw him in the woods seeking comfort from his bugs and ughh you would not want to see what I sa-"
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade interrupted, "It was Sakura! I mean the return address was not hers, but Ino's. Maybe she sent it in…Oh! I understand, really, because lately Sakura has been pretty depressed. Maybe this will be a good experience for her…I…think…"
"(Chuckles) So you want me to host the show for Sakura?"
"I guess you could say that," grinned Tsunade.
"…That's strange…" Sakura thought.
"Anyways, how do you know that Shikamaru will get the message?" Sakura beckoned.
"Everyone in Konoha was ordered to watch, by Tsunade…and Ino of course." Jiraiya grinned.
"Why, Tsunade-sama, why!" Sakura slowly drooped down to the floor.
"…And we gave him a call a minute ago, giving him your address, you better hurry and get dressed!"
"(groan)…"
"Oh yeah, Sakura since you're new and never heard of this show before, here's the complete information on the show," Jiraiya said while handing her a sheet of paper.
Dear Sakura Haruno,
On this letter, there will be the complete information on what will happen on the show for the next eleven days.
You will go on ten dates with ten different guys meaning that you'll be on our show for eleven days
At one point of each date, you will be recorded for about an hour- without you or that person's knowing. Advice: Be Careful.
The show after that date, will air certain scenes of that date. While you sit next to the person you went out with- which includes the host asking you questions about the date.
At the end of a pan of ten days, you will have to list the best to the worst days 1-10, which will show on the air the next day. The best, gets the honor to be the hokage of the day (a generous present that Tsunade included), and the worst date will have to go on a date with a certain male who has been looking for comfort from young men for a long time.(They will show- that date- on the television the next day) That is all.
Sincerely,
The Main Director and Producer,
Masashi Kishimoto
(A/N: AND NO HE DID NOT REALLY WRITE THIS…)
"Wow…that punishment is harsh…" Sakura said while looking at the paper in awe.
"Well, I better go get ready…" Sakura resolved.
(At Seven o'clock)
"Ding-Dong!" The door bell rang.
"Coming!" Sakura yelled.
Sakura rushed to the door.
"Hey Sakura…" Shikamaru mumbled as he looked at the floor.
He slowly looked up and saw that Sakura was absolutely stunning. She wore a red dress that showed her back. It ended at her knees. Sakura had her hair up in a neat bun.
"Hey Shikamaru! Kind of crazy, huh?" Skaura laughed.
"Yeah…"Shikamaru answered.
"Not too beautiful, not too ugly, I said… Note to self: Cross off Sakura on the potential wives..." Shikamaru thought.
Shikamaru and Sakura finally arrived at My Amour. They were seated and are currently ordering their dinner…
"I'll take the pasta Amour… and you Shikamaru?' Sakura ordered to the waiter.
"Uhhh…I'll have the same please," Shikamaru said.
"That's fine; will you have salad or soup?" The waiter questioned.
"Umm… I'll go with the salad," Sakura replied.
"I'll take the soup," Shikamaru answered.
"It'll be right out," the waiter said with a huge grin.
"So Shikamaru, we're you surprised when you got picked?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah…, anyways why are you on this dating show anyways?" Shikamaru asked back.
"I'll give you a hint, I-N-O," Sakura grumbled.
"Oh, that troublesome girl," Shikamaru said while shaking his head.
Just then the soup and salad came out.
"Here you guys are!"
"Thanks" Shika and Sakura said in unison.
Shikamaru tasted his soup.
"Hmmm… This is delicious, hey waiter, what is this soup called?" Shikamaru asked.
"Oh that," the waiter said while grinding parmesan on Sakura's salad," That's our specialty, grinded deer horns, and the beef is deer meat, Deer Soup!"
"Deer soup you say, well tha-"Shika stopped suddenly.
"DEER SOUP! OMGOD!" Shikamaru spazzed.
All of the sudden Shikamaru spit soup all over the nice, red carpet.
"Shikamaru! What are you doing?" Sakura shouted.
"I can't help it! It's like eating my own kind! I'm a cannibal!!! Ew, Ew, Ew!!!" Shikamaru said with his eyes bulging out like bug on weed.
Shikamaru finally stopped spazzing and looked around.
EVERYONE was staring… All you could hear is a fork dropping on a plate and a baby crying.
"Uh… I think it's time to go…" Shikamaru said blushing ten shades of red.
"Ok!" Sakura quickly agreed.
(At Sakura's house)
"Well… sorry I kind of spazzed it's just that…you know…" Shika explained.
"It's ok, but I thought you were used to using deer horns, I mean for Tsunade-sama's medicine and all?" Sakura questioned.
"I know, but we always used it for only medicine AND that "restaurant" put in deer meat…"
"Oh…"
"Well good night Shikamaru! Regardless of the "soup" incident, I had fun!" Sakura smiled brightly.
"Um… Than-"
Sakura pecked Shikamaru on the cheek.
"See you soon!" Sakura waved goodbye.
"Yeah…see you soon" Shikamaru murmured while he was still dazed.
(Next Day)
"We're back on "Ten Unforgettable dates" and let me tell you, last night with Shikamaru Nara was not a night to forget!" Jiraiya smiled.
"Sitting across from me is our very own Sakura Haruno. So Sakura, how will you feel if I brought out Shikamaru right now?"
"Uh… ok I guess," Sakura laughed.
And then came our very deer-soup-shouter, who sat next to Sakura.
"So Shikamaru, did you have a good time last night?"
"Uhh, yeah," Shikamaru said uneasy.
"How about you Sakura?" Jiraiya asked mischievously.
"Umm, it was nice." Sakura gave a fake smile.
"Let's see for ourselves!" Jiraiya said while pointing at a moving projector screen coming out of the ceiling.
They dimmed the lights and a video came on the screen.
"DEER SOUP! OMGOD!"
" Pffffffffffft"
There was spit and meat chunks on the red colored carpet.
Rewind.
"DEER SOUP! OMGOD!"
" Pffffffffffft"
Replay, replay, replay.
Then it skipped to the scene where everyone was looking at him.
"Uhh… I think it's time to go…"
"Ok!"
THEN, it showed an awkward, silent walk home. Finally, it showed where Sakura pecked Shikamaru on the cheek.
"Oooo" The audience teased, "At that time the lights switched back on.
"Wow, what an I-N-T-R-E-S-T-I-N-G evening…" Jiraiya grinned like Gai and Lee.
The audience laughed while Sakura and Shikamaru slide down the sofa.
Meanwhile.
"NANI! Sakura-chan kissed Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled in jealousy.
'Hn…" Sasuke said coolly, but was actually fixated on the tv.
Ino just stared at the TV. In awe. It felt like her heart was shattered into millions of tiny pieces stepped on by Sakura's shoes.
"Whoohoo! Go Shikamaru!" Chouji Celebrated.
"Quiet Chouji!!!" Everyone said in unison.
"Moving on, now's the time to pick a new contestant, spin that wheel!" He pointed towards two beautiful girls.
Click.click.click.click..Click….click……….click!
"There he is our lucky guy is none other than Kiba Inuzuka!!"
Shikamaru and Sakura sat there with their jaws wide open.
Whew, long chapter! Haha shika-deer soup XD reviews are appreciated!
Oh and btw, after the ten dates i've written, there will be a contest on who's the best and the worst, by voting... and MAYBE that winner will be also the winner of Sakura's heart (cough hint hint cough)
