Well, lately I have been having a badddd...and I mean BAD WRITER'S BLOCK. Dun. Dun. Dun! D; Everybody hates writer's block!
But...I had decided to do something fun for once.
Like---------having a little contest a roonie~ Sounds fun? Yes. It does.
The contest is really simple, all you have to do is submit a review of a story idea.
You can basically think up of anything!
Be original! Like....maybe Gaara jumps out of a plane and somehow Naruto saves him? 8O....err...eh....now that idea would kill both of them.
Be creative! For example!...Naruto dyes his hair black and red!...0____0; err I think Gaara would be surprised to see Naruto like that and not with his shiny golden hair.
Be funny! Like....Rock Lee decides to streak around the campus and everyone decides to join in! XD -hands out tissues to everyone-...that'll be a sight that most fans want to see.
Be tragic! For example!... Gaara is dying and Naruto is there by his side, trying to help him hold onto his life!
Whatever! Your idea!
The winner's idea will be typed up! Of course. '___'; if you didn't guessed it earlier on... The end date will be February 13,2009! So sumbit it by then!
The winner will be annouced on February 16,2009! Why that day? Well, because I don't have school that day and I have enough time to type and stuff.
Will be there other chances to do these ideas? Yes. There will be! 8D Since my creativity is sometimes maxed out...well maxed out alot.
Alright then! Get sumbitting! C: And enjoy this chapter!
Chapter Ten;
The sun rose and the moon sets, waking the boys of Konoha up to start another day. Most people weren't morning people. Naruto and Gaara were those people...when they didn't had enough sleep. A low and soft mumble come from the two boys as they tried their best to sit up and bask in the sun's rays that peek from blue curtains. Slow blue and green eyes met. What the blue eyes saw were a whirl of red hair that one side was flattened out with an iron and the other was just plain old messy. The green eyes saw a great bright ball of spikes that flew everywhere. Seeing was believing an old saying goes and what they saw was the real deal. A laugh escaped between them as they witnessed each other in such a display. Fingers were pointed and the room was filled with joyful laughter.
"GAARA! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR!?!"Naruto laughed heartily as he hanged on to his stomach.
"EH?!" Gaara muttered as he ran his fingers through his hair. The boy blinked, feeling around the soft scarlet hair to wonder what happened to him. But as soon as he felt the ironed part, he laughed and shot back a reply. "Don't you mean what happened to your hair!?!" He pointed to the whirlwind of blond spikes.
Now, it was his turn to feel around his hair. The blond blinked, touching his hair that were filled with zigzaging rage. He grinned, understanding what the other saw. Aw man. They looked like total bed heads right now. "Pfft! Atleast mine doesn't look like it had been rubbed against an iron and half done!"He smiled, rising to his feet to stretch.
"Yeah, but yours look like it stuck in a cotten candy machine!" Gaara smirked, standing up as well. His hands moved against his uniform, straightening out all of the wrinkles. He knew the teachers were going to say something about his uniform. They were in a boarding school and it was expected that they look utterly most perfect in their stiff blazers and oxford shirts. But, being Gaara, he'll blow them off.
The tall boy stuck out his tongue and placed his hands on his waist. "Ha. Ha. Gaa-chan. Let's see who'll be the smart aleck after this test!" He smiled triumphantly, ending this cycle of back and forth insults.
"Heh. Let's see. Let's see..." Gaara smirked, moving towards the bathroom to get this morning done with.
As Gaara passed him, Naruto made a "pffttt" sound. Naruto peeked at his clock...and suddenly, he could feel that his heart just threw itself into the pits of his stomach. In bold red letters, the clock read... "WHAT THE HELL!? IT'S 11:35!?!" The boy yelled as he began to shuffle his books into a pile. They had overslept! They missed first,second,third,fourth, fifth and if they didn't hurry, they'll miss the sixth! Which was the period that the algebra two test they had to be taken! "WHAT!?!" In nothing more than a few crazy seconds, the two dashed out of Naruto's room, rushing to the classroom.
"Ah damn it! Early in the morning!?! Seriously!?" Naruto whined as they quickly made a right turn.
"Morning! It's almost non, for crying out loud! And plus! Why didn't you put an alarm on!?" Gaara snapped back, panting as they just made yet another right turn.
"I don't know how to turn it on! I had always used my cell! But I think I dropped it somewhere in Tsunade's room!" Naruto explained with a sheepish grin.
"Why were you even in her room!?!" Gaara yelled as he felt them run faster and faster to their class room. This was gonna be a crazy morn-- err noon. "Naruto..." He growled.
They were near! Oh thank Kami! The halls were empty. The bell was about to ring and Naruto was running beside he, yapping away as if it didn't mattered if they arrive later-- Which was wrong! It did mattered if they were late! The words of their teacher echoed in Gaara's head. It was strange..sine he rarely pay attention to any of the teachers beside the music teacher. "If you arrive late in my class for a test then don't bother even coming in. I'll slam the door right in your face." Harsh words. Harsh words. "And that's why I was in her room. I had slide the Icha Icha Icha Paradise in Tsunade's desk! I guess I left my cell there. Heh. That'll teach that perverted Kakashi -sensei."Naruto explained with a grin as they neared the room. "Naruto! FOCUS! ROOM THERE! NOW!" Gaara yelled as he grabbed Naruto and slide inside the classroom. The two boys slide against the smooth tile floor, running into the wall. The math teacher, Asuma chuckled in amusement as he found the boys sliding in. "Ah, glad for you to come right when the bell rang...nice hair by the way, boys." He chuckled, slipping rings of smoke in the air.
Gaara sighed softly as the two sat up. Atleast they had made it. Naruto grinned and shuffled themselves to their seats. Soft chuckles and looks were given to them as they sat down. Shikamaru was there, giving them a questioning look of their hair. "Um. Woke up late. Heh."The cheerful blond replied as he tried to fix his hair. Gaara did the same too as they waited for their test was passed out. Now there. Pencils ready and all they had to do was write in the answers. "Begin." Asuma declared, returning to his desk near the window to smoke his cigarette happily.
Gaara's eyes fixed on the paper. 'Hopefully I remember everything I learned..plus the studying should help. I have to win..' he thought, writing down his answers. He was determined. He was very determined.
For Naruto, he stared at the paper, pencil tapping the bottom lip of his.
"Times up! Gonna grade them now! So hand them over!" Asuma said, snatching paper by paper as he walked down the rows. He snatched Gaara's paper who was scrowling at such a quick grab. He hated when people grab things like that. It was just annoying and irritating. Naruto's was snatched too but he didn't mind. He seemed to just smile and turned his head to Gaara with a confident look. He raised his thumb and said "I did goooooddddd. You're done for Gaa-chan!" The redhead scoffed with an amused face as he watched as the teacher sat down and began to grade the papers. Teachers at Konoha were something else. They graded so quickly,efficiently, and never made a mistake. 'No wonder this is such a top school.'he thought watching that the remaining minutes of the class flew by. At the door, Asuma stood there, handing out each and every paper. "Shikamaru...perfect score again. Naruto...good. A little bit better but still good. 88. Gaara...good. 90." The paper were in his hand. In red ink, a bright 9 and 0.
His red head turned to the blond one. "Looks like I am the smart one. Well, nothing that oblivious."
Naruto pouted at the eighty eight on his paper. "Awwww man! Is this seriously right!? Did you make a mistake or something Asuma!?"He said to the teacher, waving his paper in his face.
Asuma swatted it away and blew a gray smoke in Naruto's face. "Of course. I don'tmake mistakes. I'm a Konoha teacher. Get it through your head Naruto."
With that, they were thrown out of his classroom and into the hallway.
"Awwww man!" Naruto exclaimed as he stared at the paper. "Seriously not right."
Gaara laughed. "Well, whatever. You have to keep your promise..." He said, eyeing the other if he was to comply.
That cheerful grin surfaced onto the blond's face. "Of course. I always do. Especially to you."
When the redhead heard the last sentence, he had wanted to ask Naruto what does that meant. But before he knew it, the golden boy was running to his next class. "Alright then! Meet me in the music room after last period!" A wave was exchanged and their paths were split. 'What does he mean by that?' The puzzled boy thought. You...him...
As promised, Naruto had arrived in the music room with Gaara close behind. The room was empty besides the two of them. "Oi! See? I keep my promises!" Naruto said, giving that nice guy pose that was the signature move of Lee and Gai sensei. Gaara gave a soft chuckle, sliding beside Naruto at the piano. The other boy cracked his knuckles and stretched. The proper warm up that you do if you wish to play an instrument. "Sooooo...? What do you want me to play? I'll play whatever you want to here." He said, looking at Gaara.
Ah! That's right! Gaara was so obessed with Naruto just playing the piano that he didn't think of a song that Naruto would play! Ah damn it. Gaara bit down on his lip, trying to think of one fast.
But before he could, Naruto just laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "Can't think of one? Ah, well. I'll just do something old of mine that I used to like to play..it's not finished but it's pretty good so far. I think."
"Yeah, that's good. Go ahead." Gaara said, secretly inside happy to hear something that Naruto has composed himself.
Tan fingers fell on pale white keys. Each tap was gentle yet strong. The pace Naruto was going was slow yet it captures Gaara's attention so easily. Each key that he played was strong. It was stong just like him. Gaara marveled at how the notes fit together so wonderfully. It was music. This was the true meaning of music. Naruto's eyes settled on the keys, focusing on them for the moment. He was concentrated. He was focused. He was not the same Naruto during their music class. He was not that playful and lazy guy. This Naruto...had to be the real Naruto. It was passionate. The music.. that is. So strong. It grasps Gaara's ears, making his eyes droop close. The string of melodies flew into his mind, making a picture that was just so beautiful. But when the picture in his mind was almost complete, everything just stops. Eyes jolt open and Gaara looked questioningly at Naruto.
"What?" Naruto blinked. "I told you...It's not finished yet. I kind of dropped that symphony."
"Why!?" Gaara asked, rather loudly that kind of scared Naruto. His cheeks blushed a bright red when he realized the volume of his voice. He sunk back to his normal self, and 'ahemed' himself. "Well..I mean..it's great. It's beautiful-l-l... you should continue it." He said, peeking at the other in the corner of his eye.
Dumb Naruto just blinked and tried to comprehend everything. But slowly and surely, that grin came back onto his face. "Sure...if you help me. It'll be our symphony."
A sudden wave of happiness struck Gaara. His eyes softened and he turned back to look at the other boy that was named Naruto. "Alright...It'll be our symphony."
:3 Hehes. Looks like some major sparks are flying about now.
Get the title now??? XD
I don't know why but I just love how that sounds. "Our Symphony"
Has such a great sound..well, isn't it amazing that I updated two chapters in one day? 0___0
Looks like I am heading to a good path this year. heh.
So anyway, sumbit your review/ideas and wait for the new chapter! See you next time!
