Shadowmagic13: Thanks a lot! Yess, but WHO will he pick?
Karianne: I did steal it from the FF7 play lol. I was wondering how many people would catch that. Much love to you for noticing!
Black Roses666: I update pretty fast. Usually once every two days. Or sooner if I'm motivated enough.
Danni-chan: Sanku, sanku!
Corvin: YES. I love lists. I make lists all the time. Like 100 ways a person can fail at being a human being. The never ending list of worse ways to die. The list of lists I'd like to make in the future. The 20 reasons why you're awesome (insert friend name here). So of course Gaara's lists all have to do with death kekeke.
Yar. After reading your fic I just couldn't resist making a high school one. Because they're awesome!
Thanks! I LOVE YOU TOO! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Poisoned Rose: Yeah, I agree, humor always makes a fic more enjoyable.
Gaara'siceprincess: Thank you!
Naruto does not belong to me. The play also does not belong to me. The general idea is from Final Fantasy VII.
Day five. Gaara had managed to endure five days of this fiery hell. What with escaping fangirls, plotting the demise of jealous boy's, being stalked, and being threatened by a certain drama teacher to learn his lines it was truly a miracle that he was still slightly sane. And now Gaara had a new dilemma. He had to choose between Ino, Neji and Itachi.
He intended on killing Ino in the not so far future so that wasn't an issue. But Itachi and Neji had taken to competing with one another. "Please, I'll hold your books for you" Neji would say with that smirk of his. "Please, let me carry you to class" Itachi would say attempting to lift the poor redhead off his feet.
It was quite overwhelming for Gaara. All he wanted was solitude. All he wanted was to sit quietly making his lists and enjoy the fearful glances. All he wanted was to stalk his prey and execute the plans on his many lists and enjoy the screaming and begging. But no. He couldn't get his way here. Instead he had to deal with people more insane then himself.
But he was always granted some quiet time in the fourth floor bathroom. Gaara took a moment to look to the ceiling and thank whoever would listen for this haven. But of course his happy thoughts were fleeting. He looked down from the ceiling and saw a figure a few feet away. Before he could register who it was he was being pressed against a wall. His hands held over his head, a lean body violently close to his own, and his lips being ravaged.
He had no time to think or to protest and in only a moment his attacker pulled back. Gaara's vision blurred and he involuntarily touched his lips awestricken. "Like that, did you?" asked a familiar voice. After composing himself Gaara glared at the speaker and pulled out his notebook. Mhm. Itachi was going to die the most horrible death of all.
-That night-
Gaara sat on his bed looking over his plans. Tomorrow night. Saturday night. That's when the play was. First he'd capture Kakashi-Sensei and leave him in the gym for torturing later. Then he'd get Ino, kill her backstage, and mask it as a terrible high-heeled shoe accident. Hm. Death by high-heel. That was going on Gaara's interesting death's list.
Well after that he'd make an announcement saying that since their teacher was not present and their female lead role was now dead the play would be cancelled. Go back to the gym torture Kakashi some, kill him. Proceed to Itachi's house; execute his main plan and then head home to draw up the plans for the other fools on his list.
Yes… it was a flawless plan…
"Gaara"
"What?" he asked looking up from his notebook annoyed. "Phone"
"What about it?"
"It's for you"
"What...?" he asked raising a brow. Who in the world would be calling him? He wondered taking the phone from his brother and shutting his door. "Yes?"
"Gaara?"
"Mhm"
"It's Sasuke"
"…ok"
"I have a proposition for you"
"What is it?"
A few minutes passed of speaking with Sasuke and scratching out and adding many things in his notebook before Gaara finally hung up and looked over his plans. There were many changes. But they were good… Perhaps this Sasuke kid wouldn't have to die for quite some time…
-Opening night-
Five of the six actors stood backstage in their costumes while Kakashi sat on a table looking generally annoyed. Ino was missing. No princess no play! "You!" he said suddenly pointing at a blond that had been threatened into making props by the drama teacher. "Naruto will be Alice" Kakashi said in a tone that meant the decision was not up for discussion.
Naruto dropped what he was working on and looked as if he would fight before Sasuke punched him on the shoulder and mentioned something about Iruka not buying him ramen anymore if he failed another class. The blond looked as if his world had slipped from under him before he trudged off to put on the… gown.
After a few minutes of receiving more threats from Kakashi Sasuke pulled Gaara away from the group ignoring the glares he received from his brother. "I did my part of the deal. She's in the gym. No way out" he assured the redhead. Gaara smirked "I'll keep my end of the bargain then."
-And then the play started-
"After a long harsh journey honorable knight Fred reaches a kingdom in which his strength is needed!" read the narrator, Rock Lee.
"You must be the honorable knight Fred!" the king (Itachi) said looking very relieved. "Yes… I received word that a princess was in need of rescuing" Fred (Gaara) said in a very unenthusiastic fashion annoyed when girls in the crowd sighed dreamily.
"Yes…" said the king dramatically "my daughter, Alice has been taken by a terrible dragon. Here" he said motioning for Fred to follow. "This knight and wizard may be able to help you!" Fred turned to the Wizard (Haku) "how can I save the princess?"
"Love!" said the wizard doing a small twirl. Just then the dragon (Neji) entered the stage holding princess Alice (Naruto). Fred walked towards the two. "Release the princess!" Fred said unsheathing his sword. This of course caused fangirlish squeals. Neji was glad he was in a dragon costume. He couldn't help the smile that spread across his face when Gaara's eye twitched.
Fred turned when he heard another sword being unsheathed and was faced with the knight. "If you manage to save Alice her father will ask you to marry her. I shall battle you for the hand of the princess!" the knight said aiming his sword at Fred.
Backstage Kakashi looked on with his arms crossed. They would pay for going outside the script…
"I can not stand in the middle of true love! I am defeated!" the dragon said letting Alice go. She ran into the arms of the knight and Fred put his sword away. "It seems that the wizard was right! Only love could defeat the dragon. The knight and princess Alice are finally united!" said Rock Lee who was now weeping.
The crowd erupted in cheers. The six actors bowed and made their way off stage. Itachi glared at Gaara. Sasuke gave him a thankful smile. Kakashi gave them a look that made it apparent they wouldn't live this screw up down. And Gaara ignored them all and made his way to the gym. Sasuke had captured Ino and she was tied up down there. Ohhh. Death by high-heeled shoe was going to be an interesting one…
