Mitarashi Anko was having a good day. She got to sleep in late, the shower water was the perfect temperature, and her coffee didn't taste like burnt death in a cup. She adjusted her fluffy pink bathrobe, and sat on the couch to watch some Lost reruns. Nothing could ruin her day. Nothing. She heard what sounded like whimpering coming from her room.
"Who's there?"
After no one answered, she stood up and went to check. There was a mysterious lump in her bed, and she flipped off the covers to see who it was. Anko was shocked to find Kiba, shirtless and terrified.
"Is he gone?" Kiba whispered.
"What are you doing in my house?"
"Is Uchiha Sasuke here or not?" Kiba said loudly, grabbing Anko by the shoulders.
"No, he's not. Now answer my question, dammit."
Kiba told Anko everything. The odd Hinata thing, Shino and Ino 'culminating' their 'friendship', and being held by Sasuke in a pit and losing his dog. Anko looked absolutely heartbroken.
"B-but I'm supposed to be the crazy one around here!" Anko whined.
"Not today."
Anko was practically on the verge of tears. She couldn't lose her title! SHE was the crazy one! This was terrible!
"I...I...(sniff) Waaaaaaaaaaaa!" Anko began to cry.
"Oh, come on, don't cry. You're still pretty crazy! You won all those awards, remember?"
Anko looked proudly up at her favorite things on the mantle, her Crazies. She had won the Best Crazy by a kunoichi for 4 years running. She couldn't give up now!
"Thank you Kiba! You have re inspired me to stay at the top of the crazy list!"
"That's good. Okay, I'm going to go home now and get into some clothes..."
Anko grabbed him by the back of the neck, effectively halting his progress.
"Oh no you don't. I need an accomplice!"
"But I need clothes!"
"Wear this." She said, tossing him her bathrobe.
"But what about you? Now you don't have any clothes!" Kiba said, blushing and looking the other way.
"No one was thrown in a mental hospital for wearing clothing! Come Dog boy! We'll paint the town crazy tonight!"
And Anko dragged kiba out the door, naked as the day she was born. Kiba only wondered what he did to deserve this treatment.
Naruto ran to the ramen shop, or at least as fast as his suit allowed him to run. It may have taken him all day, but he was finally going to get his ramen. He burst into the shop, and quizzically looked at Sakura, Kakashi, Gai and Iruka putting away party decorations.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked The other four looked up.
"NARUTO!" Sakura yelled, before smacking him on the head.
"OW! Hey, what was that for?"
"You were supposed to be here about 5 hours ago." Kakashi explained. "As was everybody else."
"Why was I supposed to be here?"
"Because it's your birthday moron!" Sakura yelled.
"Oh yeah! I forgot!"
The others sighed. Iruka glanced at what Naruto was wearing.
"Naruto, why are you wearing one of Lee's jumpsuits?"
"BECAUSE HE IS YOUTHFUL!" Gai shouted.
"No, because it's better than wearing tight leather shorts."
Gai looked disheartened. Naruto explained the whole tale over a steaming bowl of ramen.
"Sasuke would never do that!" Sakura gasped. "And neither would Hinata! I wouldn't have believed you about Neji either, but I saw him with my own eyes..."
Kakashi was holding his sides, trying not to laugh. Iruka just rolled his eyes. Gai smiled, because, what else can he do?
"Yeah, and now I have to go on a date with Hinata, or she'll rip my insides out and eat my soul."
"BUT THAT IS IN THE FUTURE!" Gai proclaimed. "It is the present now! Now open my gift!"
Naruto pulled the massive gift out of Gai's hands, and opened it. The ribbons fell to the floor, and Choji lay inside the box, holding his stomach, blood smeared around his mouth.
"Ohhh..."
"Where is teacup?" Gai wondered, looking around.
"Choji, you didn't..." Sakura began, but then Choji belched up a horseshoe.
"Those don't go down easily..." He moaned.
Gai kneeled and picked up the shoe off the ground. He stared at it for a minute, and then threw his head back and howled.
"NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why Teacup, why? Struck down in the prime of your youth!"
Iruka looked around at the mess that Choji made.
"Did you eat all the presents?"
Choji belched again and nodded.
"Even the non-edible ones?"
"Yeah..."
Kakashi shook his head, and made a mental note to tell Asuma to put Choji on a diet. He looked at the clock.
"Naruto, you might want to get going."
"Crap...hey Gai, before I go, how do you get out of these things?" Naruto said, pointing at the jumpsuit.
Gai lept to his feet and did the nice guy pose.
"THEY DO NOT COME OFF!" He stated.
Naruto felt like crying. This day sucked, and it sucked hard. He resigned himself, and went out the door. All was quiet for a minute, then Sakura slammed her fist on the counter.
"HE NEVER SAID THANK YOU!"
Kakashi ignored her and glanced at Choji.
"I can't believe you ate the bondage set..."
Meanwhile, at the Hyuuga estate, Naruto gulped and knocked on the door. There was some sort of squeaking sound, and no one other than Hiashi Hyuuga. He was in a wheelchair, and wearing a neckbrace. Most of his limbs were is casts.
"YOU!" he growled, and tried to reach Naruto. Thankfully for our hero, the entrance to the household has a slight lip, so no matter how hard he pushed the forward button, Hiashi could not reach Naruto. It was kinda sad and funny at the same time.
"Goddam machine..." He muttered, his eyes fixed on Naruto with deadly intent.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata said, shoving her father out of the way. He screamed and crashed into what sounded like the good china.
Hinata was wearing a black t-shirt, with mesh sleeves. She also black baggy pants. The oddest thing however, was her head. She had spiked her hair in all sorts of directions, and each on was pink at the end. Her ears were covered in earrings. Naruto was stunned.
"Why are you wearing that?"
"It is a rock concert silly. Now lets get going!" she smiled, and hooked her arm around Naruto's and pulled him towards the Konoha Megadrome.
At the actual Drome itself...
"I don't see why Orochimaru has us put on these shows. Isn't there an easier way to make some cash?" Kidomaru complained, double checking his piano readings.
"But this is fun, right?" Sakon asked, tuning his guitar. Ukon popped out of the side of his head.
"Why aren't we called the Sound Six? Don't I count for anything?"
"Sakon, shut your brother up." Jirobo grunted, plugging in his ELECTRIC TAMBOURINE!
"Brother? This is a tumor."
The other four stared at him.
"You should really get that checked out then." Kimimaro stated, pulling out his ribs to make the worlds most kick ass pair of drumsticks.
"Okay you shitbags, don't (Insert honking sound) it up this time." Tayuya menaced. The group looked around for the cause of the mysterious honking.
"What the (Foghorn) was that!" Tayuya cussed again. "There it is again!"
"That would be the T rating. It blocks most forms of violent swearing." Shino explained.
"What are you doing here?"
"Saving a seat for my fiancé."
Jirobo was about to say something, but Shino is so convincing, it's very hard to argue with him. They just shrugged and prepared themselves for the onslaught of adoring, pierced and generally emo looking fans.
At the ticket gate, Lee was arguing with the gatekeeper.
"But sir! We must get in! Our friend here needs to become youthful!" he cried, pointing to Tenten.
"Look Lee, I don't really want to go..."
"NONSENSE!" Lee and Neji shouted, getting several odd stares.
"All right, just calm down! You're making a scene."
Lee and Neji continued to argue, and Tenten sighed and returned to the task of trying to get this stupid suit off. She looked up long enough to see Hinata dragging Naruto along. As if her day weren't odd enough already.
"My boyfriend would like to purchase two tickets please!" Hinata quipped, looking as happy as a clam.
"Sorry, fresh out of tickets."
Hinata's eye twitched slightly.
"I don't think you understand. This is a very important date."
"There's nothing I can do, girl."
Hinata proceeded to gentle fist the teller until his heart exploded. She calmly climbed over the counter and grabbed his keys.
"Come on honey, we can get VIP seats now!"
Naruto didn't know wether he should be impressed or wet himself. She was so scary!
"LADY HINATA!" Neji yelled.
"BROTHER NEJI!"
The two hugged and did some sort of secret Hyuuga handshake. Even Lee looked startled that Neji hugged his cousin.
"I see you have procured some backstage passes! May we have some?"
"Sure! We can have a double date! You and Lee will just have to threesome with Tenten."
Tenten looked mortified at the prospect. Both she and Naruto were dragged backstage.
"So Lee got you too?" Tenten queried, looking at Naruto's clothes.
"Yeah, I thought it would come off..."
"How do we ditch these guys? They're all acting so weird...well, except for Lee. He's pretty normal." Tenten wondered.
"Well, I was thinking that in the chaos of the concert, I could escape! Everyone knows that the power of music cancels out the Byakugan."
"Right. Good idea Naruto!... Wait, it does?"
"Hell if I know, but anything's worth a shot at this point."
And so the two were dragged into the drome...
