Chapter 8
We're In... Or So We Think
"I can't believe they blew it already." Tenten said in exasperation while Team Gai patrolled the far edge of the city. (A/N: Alex: Heh... blew it... Hazel: ALEX! EW!)
"They were rash. And we'll all pay for it in the coming days." Neji replied, irritatedly flicking a strand of hair out of his eyes. His teammates nodded solemnly. Even Lee seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and refrained from spouting a 'youthful' speech.
Well, not completely.
"Neji! It is your youthful guide!" Lee exclaimed, pointing at a lone figure on the street. Neji was about to brush off Lee's outburst when he noticed that the figure was indeed Tyler. The Hyuuga was contemplating murdering no one in particular.
"What's he doing out so late?" Tenten mused as they watched Tyler walk down the street.
"Probably drugs. He's not in danger, there is no need for us to worry over him." Neji said, turning away. He wasn't overly fond of his guide.
"Um... Neji?" Tenten said slowly, poking the Hyuuga in the ribs. Neji sighed and turned back around.
To see that Tyler was surrounded by some random people. It just wasn't Neji's day.
"What has that idiot done now?" Neji growled, jumping from the roof they were on into the shadows of the street.
"Hand over your wallet and no one gets hurt." One of the random people said. Neji rolled his eyes. Muggers? Really? He sighed and walked over to the people, throwing caution to the wind and pressed a pressure point in the neck of the closest mugger.
"Who the hell are you?" One of the others demanded. Neji scoffed at the tone they used, as if they thought they were tough. Within seconds all of the muggers were on the ground, unconscious.
"Pathetic." Neji growled before disappearing and leaving a very confused Tyler to run home.
The Next Day at Lunch in the Library
"Alright, let's begin." Harold said, sitting at the long table hidden away in the manga section of the school's library.
"Uh... Why is the Janitor here?" Alice asked slowly, looking at the brunette man in his early-thirties, who was wearing a grey jump-suit.
"Vincent is cool." Izzy said, seeming much calmer than usual. "He is my master in the art of BOOM!" She continued with a nod. Everyone shrugged. Harold looked around the table at the assembled students (plus facility member). Izzy, Vincent, Trent, Alice, Luke, Duncan, Courtney and Gwen.
"Let's keep this short, shall we? The cheer leading try-outs are starting after school and I need to meet Bridgette to practice." Courtney said stiffly, sounding none-too-happy about her current company.
"Okay, gosh..." Harold muttered to himself. "Alice, pass around the pictures you took." He said. Alice grinned and took out a few glossy blown-up photos of the ninjas.
"Whoa..." Vincent whistled as he examined one of the pictures.
"To keep this brief, just keep a close eye on the ninjas for the next few days." Harold said. Everyone nodded and walked out of the library in their respective cliques, as if the meeting had never happened.
At Cheer leading Try-outs, After School
Blaineley and Anko stood in front of the line of teenage girls, which included Sakura, Tenten and Karin from the exchange students along with Lindsay, Katie and Sadie. Gathered behind Blaineley and Anko was the cheer leading team, which included Bridgette, Courtney and Heather.
"Alright, listen up, Maggots." Anko said, crossing her arms and grinning sadistically at the would-be cheerleaders. "You pathetic little worms might think you're tough, but you're not. There are two spots free on the team, both of them fliers, and only the strongest of you will survive this try-out." Anko grinned devilishly at the trembling girls. Sakura and Tenten exchanged an amused glance.
"She hasn't lost her touch from the Forest of Death." Tenten whispered to the pink-haired girl beside her. Sakura nodded and winked at Anko when she looked at the pair of ninjas.
"Alright. Some of the girls on the team will do a short dance routine three times. If you can't memorize the steps and follow along with the routine after those three times, you'll be eliminated." Blaineley explained, raking her glare over the assembled girls.
"Or killed..." Anko added darkly.
Heather, Courtney and Bridgette stepped forward and the other girls moved back. Someone turned on music and they started doing the routine. Most of the girls immediately attempted to follow along with the routine, but they weren't getting it. Sakura and Tenten stood still, watching the girls doing the routine very carefully, and when the girls started again for the third time, they joined in effortlessly.
"The two exchange students are doing very well." Anko said, off-handedly to Blaineley, smirking to herself. Blaineley shrugged, crossing her arms. At the end of the routine, only fifteen of the original forty-or-so girls remained, including Tenten and Sakura. Lindsay, Katie and Sadie, and even Karin had been eliminated.
...
An hour, multiple flips, a teenage girl riot and the Pokémon theme song later...
...
Anko and Blaineley watched the remaining ten girls with identical malicious grins.
"Listen up, whore-wannabes, we've made our decision. Sakura Haruno and Tenten Ying are our new cheerleaders." Blaineley said. The other eight girls fixed the ninjas with feral glares.
"Good job, Maggots. You're in." Anko said, winking at Tenten and Sakura, who grinned back. Behind Anko and Blainley, Courtney and Heather were also glaring at the ninjas, Courtney in hatred and Heather in spite.
In the Stands of the Gym
Sasuke, Naruto, Neji and Lee sat in the stands, watching as their teammates were accepted onto the team. Naruto and Lee high-fived each yelling "Believe it!" and "Youth!" respectively.
"I knew they wouldn't notice if I switched their CD with one that had the Pokemon theme song on it!" Naruto grinned. Lee laughed, spurting more 'youthful' crap.
Sasuke and Neji exchanged a glance and Sasuke took out his phone, flipping through his contacts until he came across Itachi's number. The phone rang once before his brother picked up.
"We're in." And then he hung up.
Back at the Ninja Base/House
"We're in." And silence.
Itachi smirked slightly, putting his phone away and looking at the Akatsuki members gathered around the table in the dining room of the house.
"We're in." He said. Pein nodded approvingly the other Akatsuki members murmured amongst themselves.
"Excellent. It's only a matter of time now."
In a Mysterious Location
"The Shinobi have infiltrated S.F.B. Morse High School's cheer leading team, Kasume-sama." Celcia practically sang, her voice bright in the shadows of the room. Kasume looked at her bright red nails and smirked.
"Have they? Just on time. Gather the others. You know what to do." She said. Celcia grinned and bowed.
"Of course, Kasume-sama." She said before disappearing. Kasume began typing on her laptop, humming a sickly sweet tune that seemed out of place in the gloomy room.
"This is just getting better and better."
Alex: Thanks to HAZEL, this short piece of crap is what we'd like to call the much-anticipated chapter for all...five of you..
Hazel: SHUT UP, ALEX! Who still needs to START the Avenue Q fic!
Alex: LIES AND SLANDER! Just leave me and Draco be... -snuggles Malfoy-
Malfoy: Get off of me, you filthy Muggle!
Alex: I LOVE YOU TOO!
Hazel: Dear lord... -_-' Please review so we can end this blasphemy.
Alex: SILENCE, MERLIN!
Hazel: -facepalm-
