Chapter four: Ten contestants
It was during Art and they were all making sculptures out of clay (or sandcastles in Gaara and the other's case cos they felt like it.) when one of the girls, a hyperactive blonde who was constantly hanging off of sasuke's arm, spoke up loudly for all of the class to hear.
"Oh i can't wait for them to announce on the PA that Yamanaka Ino, beauty queen of Konoha high school, has got through in the pageant, as well as whatever other poor souls entered, maybe Sarutobi-sensei will even add that the judges put a side note saying for the other contestants not to bother."
"Wonder if she's that loud in bed." muttered Kiba, there were only four of them together in this class and he looked around worriedly, the fourth had yet to enter school, even though class had just started Naru was really late, whereas usually it might just be a few minates into homeroom, she was really not a morning person.
"I wounder where Naru-chan is." said Hinata worriedly, Naru had finally beaten her down (not literally) to calling her '-chan' rather than '-san' and was rather pleased with her acomplishment.
"Late as usual." said Gaara "She really likes to sleep."
After another five minates a blonde haired blue eyed girl walked through the door. "Sorry i'm late Deidara-sensei." she sounded remarkably like Naru, and she looked around for a minate before her large blue eyes settled on them and she walked over. "Hey you guys, took the long way, did i miss anything important?" the other three stared at her. her blonde hair was for once not covered up and was instead tied in a high pony tail that reached her waist (how can someone hide so much hair) and it shined parted to the side with her fringe brushing her eye lashes. not wearing makeup except a bit of eyeliner and lipgloss. she was wearing a black speghetti strap top that just reached her belly button and although was loose somehow clung to her figure, it just brushed the skin above her belly button which everyone could now see was peirced, at her hips hung a tartan skirt that came only halfway down her thighs. her sock were pulled up to her thighs so only about two inches of skin was shown of her legs, her boots were knee high lace ups with no heel and they were also fabricated rather than leather. she also wore black and red striped armwarmers and a deep red scarf tied around her waist, she seemed to be wearing a bra as well which showed off her not-oversized-but-decently-even breasts. her hour glass shape left all the boys speechless even their teacher who looked like a woman and everyone was surprised to find out was a man.
"Uh... Naru, is that you?" asked Kiba through his mouthful of drool.
"Yah, who else would it be?" she put her orange backpack under the table they were sitting at and pulled out her sketchbook. "So...? did i miss anything?" she asked again
"N.Naru-chan?"
"Yes, Hinata."
"I like your clothes, but um w.well..."
"Oh is that why you're all acting weird? It's just something i was working on this past week." she began staring at a still life they had ben made to do the lesson before, then flicked to the back and began doodleing. then there cam a noise on the PA.
"Students i would like to enform you of the ten contestants of the pageant." Everyone in the classroom went silent even the four playing with sand or doodleing (not what they'er supposed to be doing). "Sasame, Temari, Tenten, Rin, Haku, Sakura, Randfangirl567, randfangirl765, Ino and Naruto. If those mentioned could attend the sports hall at Lunch time please, Thank you." Naruto carried on as before oblivious to the stares she was getting from her freinds and the rest of the class who couldn't stop staring at little bit of leg shown, or the crystil pendant that hung around her neck and reached just below the neck of her top and hung teasingly there.
"Naru?"
"Yeah Gaara, Hey Kiba pass us that blue pencil."
"I thought you hated beauty pagents."
"Which one you have like five."
"I do, the darkest one."
"So why are you entering?"
"Nothing wrong with that if your going to keep wearing those clothes."
"Cause everyone was acting like i couldn't win so i'm proving everyone wrong, and thanks Kiba."
"No problem." They just sat in silence for a few minates, Naru now colouring her doodle, Gaara shaking his head at his sand castle, and Kiba sneaking looks at his freind very now and again.
"Um, i th.think you look very nice n.naru-chan." said Hinata making Naru smile at her, no beam at her, there was something different about her smile too. They stayed in silence unitl the end of the lesson.
"English, right?" asked Naru.
"Yeah, you in class with Shika and the Uchiha bastard right?"
"Yeah and all the others."
"Not so important if you don't know them."
"What about you's?"
"Science."
"Bummer" they said their see you's and left for their respective lessons.
As Naru was apprroaching the English block someone matched her pace to walk beside her, she threw them a sidelong glance to see who it was. Itachi.
"Hey."
"Hello. so you did enter."
"Yeah well everyone was all like 'Hey even if Naru did enter how's she gonna win.' so i decided to enter." he nodded slowly.
"I guess i'l see you at lunch then."
"Yup, see you." she waved slightly as he pulled away and left for his lesson. She scowled as she saw Sasuke staring at her from inside of the English block. They hadn't spoken since he cornered two weeks ago, not even in their usual arguments, but once he had passed her in the street and she could have sworn he purposely brushed her arm and muttered something to her but she couldn't be sure, as it was so slight and so quiet he might not have said anything at all. She walked past him ignoring him completely and looked around before spotting her target, she wanted to see if she really looked so different in these clothes. She sauntered over to Shikamaru and put a hand on his shoulder making him look down from his study of the ceiling.
"Hey Naru, what's with those clothes." she fell over anime style.
"I guess i don't look so different after all." she said with clenched fists.
"You look different, but your the only girl i know who walks like a boy."
"Oh?" she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, and your voice is the big giveaway, you don't really talk like a girl who would wear those clothes naturally."
"Well if your so smart teach me." she said in an annoyed voice now resting her head on his shoulder, he patted her back.
"Sure just come to the shelter tonight." he said in a tired voice, then noticed Sasuke was glareing daggers at him, he glared back but not with as much intensity as this was Shikamaru. Sasuke had been glaring at them alot when they were affectionate towards Naru all the boy's had noticed, they didn't tell Naru as she herself didn't seem to notice it.
"Okay, class come in." said the brown haired english teacher, Iruka. and they all bustled in, the tables were aranged in a rectangle so as they could all discuss whilst writing, Naru just said it made it easier for when Shika refused to let her copy.
0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0w0
They were all walking towards Kiba's house to collect Akamaru before heading to Gaara's house to sit in the shelter and help Naru learn to act like a girl.
"i have no food." stated Gaara tonelessly, but the reaction he got all but made up for it.
"What?!"
"you must have something!!"
"it's a disaster!"
"O.M.G" After they had all had thier heartattacks and recovered, someone suggested they just walk down to tesco and get some food, so they did. It was usually them who ended up stocking their room anyway cos it was always them who ate everything. They ran down the aisles with a trolley grabbing anything that looked remotely edible.
"You scream, i scream we all scream for ice cream."
"crisps glorious crisps."
"Troublesome, i'll just take these."
"oh, my, god, they have candy floss!!"
"Cup ramen!!"
"Dr Pepper..."
"Oooo pop tarts, nice catch Shika."
"COOKIES!!"
"yay Gaara found cookies."
Even, i the author of this one hit wonder doesn't know exactly who said what so i'll let you the wonderful readers and lovers of this ffic decide, but i think some are obvious. So when the Five freinds had gotten their food to stock up the cupboards and minifridge in Gaara's bomb shelter/den, they all lived happily ever after... or did they...
"There's no freezer in here!!"
"You ate all the crisps?!"
"The icecream... (TT)"
"Hey Gaara what's that suspiciously cookie shaped box under your shirt?" so they all trudged back to the store to get more food and ate the ice cream first so as it wouldn't melt.
"So Naru... you want to learn to be a girl." Naru threw the empty icecream tub at her brown haired friend, who sitting on an old armchair with his elbows on the arms and his fingers pressed together.
"I already am a girl Kiba, you blind idiot."
"And a very hot one at that." added the already offensive boy, as a spoonful of he second tub joined the first. Kiba started as the melting icecream hit him square in the face, he retaliated with half a jam doughnut, which landed in her lap. pretty soon they were all involved with food everywhere and Gaara defending the cookies stubbornly behind the couch and thowing the occaisional bit of food that managed to end up behind there, after some time Kankuro and Temari came down to bring Temari's famous apple pie and got involoved when a peice of bicuit mixed with icecream, DrP and god knows what else hit the side of her head, all halted on the battlefield. Until temari threw a peice of the apple pie she ahd made at her little brothers head and so resumed chaos...
Many Hours later...
"I hope you guys are gonna clean this up." said Kankuro stubbornly.
"Buuuuut, you guys were involoved too." protested Kiba lying on the ground looking like Chouji had just thrown up on him after eating a normal meal at his place, Naru wasn't much better picking up a very defensive Gaara who still had a box of Cookies cluched in his hands, although it was now empty as they had been eaten, thrown, trodden on, spilled and stolen by his freinds and himself through all the excitement.
"Why don't we just leave it for the maid to do tomorow?" argued Gaara.
"How are we supposed to teach Naru how to act like a girl if wait til then, it's a desperate and needy cause." said Kiba loudly acting like the fate of the world was in the balence and getting a whack on the head by said desperate and needy cause.
"Troublesome, we could always go somewhere else." added Shika looking at Naru who caught the hint.
"Okay, there's food and stuff atmy house teach me there."
"Oh we heard that you had entered the pageant, Naru-chan. I was so surprised."
"And you too Temari Nee-chan?"
"Yeah it was a joke by some of my girlfreinds, but i'm definatly entering to win." Smiled Temari, "But i'm not going to sabotage you or anything." They were at Naru's house looking through her closet at all the clothes they had never seen her wear.
"I can't beleive you bought all this in two weeks!!" exclaimed Chouji, shifting through the skirts and shorts and trousers, with shoes piled up neatly at the bottom with a thin film of dust.
"Acctually my Mom buys this stuff for me all the time, i was just adjusting some of it." she said casually showing them the inside of her clothes chest which held her usual attire.
"Your Mom?! i thought parents usually tried to stir their kids away from these kindsa clothes?" Naru chuckled at that.
"Yeah, mine are weird alright." she was sifting through the rails of her walk in wardrobe that was hardley ever entered except by her mother making her look at the new clothes she had bought. she picked out an orange dress with black stripes down the sides supposed to make the wearer look skinnier, although Naru didn't see how it worked. "How about this?" they looked and Temari picked out a pair of platform sandals the main soles were cork or something and it had a ribbon to attach it to the foot.
"With these, and this." she also picked out a black armwarmer that had a ribbon to make it as tight as the wearer needed, Naru found the other one adn agreed.
"For what?" asked Shika.
"Dunno, some part of it." Shikamaru was sitting on her bed watching them through the open wardrobe door and reading the little booklet that Naru had gotten at the meeting. "What's your talent gonna be Naru."
"My what?"
"Your talent, Naru." said kiba wrapping a feather boa around his neck and holding the shortest denim skirt he could find against his waist, "Hey check me out."he said blowing his reflection a kiss standing in front of the full length mirror in the door, and succeding in dropping the skirt, then nearly srangling himself with the boa as it caught on the door handle as he bent to retreive it. getting no help everyone just laughed at him. when he had saved his own life he joined in sitting on the floor.
As he stood up and wrapped the deadly feather snake around his female freinds neck as she came out dressed in the clothes that she and temari had picked out between them, there was a knock at the bedroom door, and an old woman stepped in looking only at Naruto.
"Naruto-san, there is a young man wishing to talk with you he said he is a classmate." they looked at each other.
"okay." the woman left down the hall after murmering something about going home now, her daughter was probably waiting.
"Gaara?" said Temari hesitantly, even not having lived far away she had never been to Naru's house before for this long.
"Nah, i think she know's who Gaara is." answered Naru taking the shoes off and walking across the room, "I'll go see who it is, then be right back okay?" she smiled over her shoulder.
Answering walking down the stairs she frowned at the back of a black haired boy's head he was looking with severe disinterest at a photograph on a shelf near the front door, then seeing her in the mirror that acompanied the shelf he smirked. She stopped at the bottom her face going through all sorts of emotions, she was completely transparent with her feelings.
'the only reason he's interested is because I am...' sure she had thought alot about what he had said, but if he had liked her so much why constantly insult her? she had spent some time with itachi during the last two weeks, even made out with him once. but he had forced his way to try to make it more, and it somehow made her uncomfortable and she hadn't seen him since, until today at least. Although unknowingly to her, Sasuke had seen her kissing his Aniki or the other way around, which made him so mad and just added to the dents in his bedroom wall. Her face settled something between bewilderment and something she couldn't name.
"Sasuke." her voice was somehow hard and soft at the same time.
"Your face is giving away everything by the way, and even your voice." Her face flushed red with embarrasment and anger, but still with the same expression, and it only deepened as she realised he wasn't smirking as she had at first thought, he was smiling, at her.
"Sh.shut up, what are you some kinda psychologist, geez." she had one of those before, an annoying guy who told her that everything she did was an outlet for her feelings about her dad not being there anymore, she had thrown a vase at his head the last time she saw him and he told her that.
"No and i don't need to be... to know that you like my aniki." he was suddenly unreadable, she gave him a wierd look that just screamed 'WTF are you talking about?' he hesitated steeling himself for telling her. "I saw you and him, when you met him after science." Her breath had caught, they had made out with her pressed against Sasuke's desk, she hadn't looked at it since. "Don't deny it, you kissed him first." And then he shoved his tongue down her throat and tried to fondle her breasts, but she guessed Sasuke didn't see her try to push him away, and was only saved when Orochimaru-sensei had walked in again to get his folder, then seh practially sprinted to where everyone was meeting after school, to go hang around the park. (Oro saves Naru, wow this is one wierd fic!! O.O;) she glared at the reflection of the back of Sasuke's head, refusing to meet his eye, which she hadn't done since he wall raped her. (her thoughts not mine.) Yet right now she wanted to look at him less than ever even the back of his had even though it was only a reflection, yet she only realised at that second what she really felt about him, and forced herself to meet his eye he was glaring at her as though demanding an explanation, her expresion must have reflected what she was thinking and Sasuke interpreted them as what she felt for Itachi, seeing as how it was her with him they were talking about. He made no sound as he walked towards the front door and opened it roughly and turned back with a look of disgust on his face, she felt as though he had just bored a hole right through her chest, as it constricted.
"Sasuke!!" she called almost running forward as he turned and slamed the door she grabbed the handle and banged her head against it holding back the tears that threatened on the edges of her eyes, and her shoulders shook with the vain effort to keep them in even as the salty wetness ran down her cheeks. Everyone had been watching at the top of the stair just out of sight, and immediatly fell down as they saw their freind now ignoring the tears and just trying to hide the sobs she wanted to shed openly for the rest of her life.
