Getting Into the Game
Chapter 10: The Devil's Call
"Kids these days! Don't follow rules at all! Learn from your mistake! We already called your parents! If you do this again then we'll notify the principle and you'll all get punished!" the security guard scolded to the five boys- Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Kiba and Shikamaru. Apparently curfew for the students was eight thirty and they reached back from their carnival dates a little later than expected. After the security guard finished his scolding, the boys walking back to their dorm and into the living room.
"Asshole! We were just a few minutes late and he fucking calls my parents!" Kiba yelled as he slumped onto the couch.
"Shit! My dad's going to get pissed!" Naruto yelled dramatically.
"You're telling me! Did you forget how my father is!" Sasuke shouted at Naruto who just gave him a weird expression.
"Troublesome…" Shikamaru stated.
"Naruto, it's your entire fault we were late in the first place…" Neji stated from the single chair he was sitting on.
"Yeah! Since you threw up and we had to buy you a bottle of water and headache pills, we were late!" Kiba added in rage.
"Hai, hai, it's my fault. Why not just blame me for everything…?" Naruto stated with a wave of dismissal. All of a sudden, all their cell phones started ringing simultaneously. As they checked their phones, they saw it was their parents calling them.
"Fuck!" They all screamed simultaneously as they ran to their rooms and slammed the doors shut.
Naruto
Naruto stared at the phone, staring at his father's picture on the screen as it indicated him calling. The picture was a smiling Minato giving his son a thumbs up, but Naruto was more than certain that wasn't going to be his attitude tonight. He sighed one heavy sigh and opened his phone.
"Hey dad! What's up? Calling so late at night sort of a first!" Naruto tried to sound enthusiastic.
"Naruto! Where the hell are you!" his father screamed from the other line of the phone. Naruto winced before answering.
"I'm at the dorm dad, I was about to go to bed…"
"A security guard from your school called and said that my son was missing since he went out somewhere with other boys- I'm guessing your friends- and never came back for curfew…"
"Stupid gay security guard! I was like five minutes late for coming back! That's it! I swear!" Naruto tried to explain.
"Where were you…?"
"… Out…" Naruto stated as he looked to the side to see Shane under the covers sleeping soundly.
"Out where!"
"… On a date…" There was silence on the phone. "Dad, you still there…?"
"… Well that's a first I've heard of it… when have you ever considered dating anyone? Who is this girl and how come I've never heard of this?"
"Dad! Shut up!" Naruto yelled while blushing.
"I always knew you were a troublemaker, but now this!"
"Dad!"
"So… who is she? I'd like to know her name."
"… What…?"
"Tell me her name! Do I have to repeat myself!" Minato said irritably.
"No way dad! Screw off!"
"You can't even tell your dad the name of the girl you fell in love with! How have I raised you! Have you forgotten all that I've done for you my son!" 'Shit, he's trying to pull the guilt trick. Stubborn old man…' Naruto thought with a sigh.
"Her name is… Haruno Sakura…" Silence.
"A Haruno? I heard the daughter was something else but… have you not met their eldest son!"
"I met him, and yes he's freaking scary, but I really love her dad! There isn't anything you can do to stop me!" Naruto yelled, but then covered his mouth as he glanced toward Shane. Shane shuffled around a bit under the covers, and then stopped. Naruto realized he was still sleeping and sighed.
"… Who said I was going to stop you…?"
"Say what?"
"No, I'm proud of you boy. You found yourself a real keeper! Plus, the Haruno Cooperation almost comes second to us! This could be big! Good job son!"
"Dad! Don't make this about business! Also, don't tell anyone yet!" Naruto stated, praying that the news don't find out. The last thing he needed was paparazzi following him around all the time, not to mention Sakura-Chan in which she'd surely kill him for.
"Alright, I won't tell anyone, but you got to bring her over to introduce her to your parents. Now, I've got to start making friendly with mister scary…" Minato stated as Naruto laughed at.
"Thanks dad! I'll bring her over some time! Bye!" Naruto said before closing his phone with a smile. He was always happy that his father was one of those understanding awesome fathers, and he wouldn't have him any other way. (Minato is so~ awesome and hot!) He was just glad his dad wasn't against their relationship. After Naruto changed, he went to bed with a satisfying grin.
Unbeknownst to him though, a blushing Sakura lay in bed as she heard every bit of their conversation. The thing is, while the guys went to help Naruto sober up, they quickly got back to the dorms before they did, cleaned up before any of them could notice, changed and hid under the covers to seem like they had been fast asleep the entire time.
Sasuke
Sasuke stared at his phone with disgust as he saw his father calling. His father's photo was him when he was younger, smiling as he was picking up an equally happy Sasuke when he was about five years old. Oh, how times have changed. He looked over to see Tyler fast asleep. He cleared his throat slightly as he opened the phone and held it close his ear.
"Hn…" Sasuke simply said.
"How is that a way to greet your father at this hour at night…?" the deep voice on the other line asked- yup, his prick father was on the phone.
"Is this anytime to call a person in the first place?" Sasuke shot back.
"Sasuke, where have you been? A security guard had the insolence to call me at this hour and say that you had gone missing after curfew…"
"He was a delusional asshole, father."
"Sasuke, where were you?"
"I was out taking care of some things with a friend…"
"What kinds of things?"
"Things…" Sasuke simply said sternly.
"With who?"
"… Naruto…"
"Don't lie to me Sasuke." 'Shit! This fucking-… Damn it!' Sasuke thought dejectedly.
"… A girl…" There was silence, which irked Sasuke. "Dad!"
"A girl you say… who is she…? Is she worthy of the Uchiha name?"
"Dad! I'm sixteen! I'm not fucking marrying her right now that you have to ask something like that!"
"Who is she?"
"Sabaku Temari…"
"The governor of Wind country's only daughter?"
"Yeah, that one…" The next words that came out of his father's mouth shocked Sasuke more than anything in the world could shock him at all.
"I'm proud of you… Sasuke…"
"… Dad… did you eat some bad dinner…?"
"Can't I be proud of you Sasuke?"
"Heh? So you don't care that I passed curfew to be on a date with her?" Sasuke asked him with a smirk.
"You're off the hook this time, but remember that in exchange, I need to meet her."
"Whatever…" Sasuke said before closing his phone with a satisfied smirk. He had accomplished persuading his father into accepting one of his decisions in life, and the proud part was just a bonus.
Temari lay in bed, blushing madly. She had heard the conversation going on between Sasuke and his father, but only one word was playing through her head. 'Marriage…' (Idiot…)
Neji (Just to tell you, Neji's dad didn't die, ok? Cool, back to the story.)
Neji scowled at his cell phone- or more precisely, the name and picture that popped up on his phone. He knew it was his father, and even thought his father was not as strict as Hinata's father, it wasn't like he was a lenient guy toward his son either. He opened his phone and made an angry face like the person on the other line would see it.
"Father."
"Son."
"What is with this unexpected call this late at night?"
"This call wasn't unexpected at all and you know that. Where have you been until now boy? This freaking security guard woke me up with a call stating that you went out and haven't return before curfew. What must you say about that?"
"I was only five minutes late dad, nothing happened. I was just out with some friends…"
"So I was told, but this is unlike you Neji. What caused you to become late and break school regulations?"
"… Nothing specific, father…"
"Neji, I was a young boy myself once, and there is only two things that made me break rules."
"What were they?"
"Friends and a girl." 'Spot on dad, always spot on…' Neji thought with a smirk.
"Well then see father, I was out with friends."
"No boy, you were always in control with your friends and still balanced rules and friends. So it has to be that you found a young woman… am I correct, boy…?" 'Yeah, young woman…' Neji thought to himself as he was about to burst out laughing thinking of TenTen as a young woman. However, he controlled himself and proceeded in talking to his father.
"Yes dad, it was because of a girl…"
"Who might this girl be that could break my cold son?" his father asked, making it of a bit of a joke.
"Hardy, har, har dad. Real funny, real mature like of you. Her name is Kurosaki TenTen." (I made that up on the spot actually, I was watching Bleach and it just came.)
"Kurosaki TenTen… as in the daughter and only child of the Kurosaki dojo that are expert martial art trainers that could even be matched with us, the Hyuuga clan…?"
"Yes, the very same father. Although them matching with us is a bit off, don't you think?" His father laughed.
"Well that's an unexpected turn of events. Good eyes boy, the Hyuuga clan has always had good eyes, and your living proof. Continue with your… affair…"
"What the-? You don't have to say it like that!"
"Then how should I say it?"
"Just- Ugh! Forget it! I'm not in trouble, right?"
"Of course not, why would you be?"
"Never mind, good night father," Neji stated, quickly cutting the line before his father remembered the basic reason why he called in the first place. He gave out a sigh of relief as he crashed on the bed and fell asleep.
TenTen was on the bed, happy yet fuming at the same time since he didn't think her worthy of an opponent. She was so going to change that soon enough.
Kiba
Kiba stared at his phone as he saw his mother calling, gulping audibly. He was contemplating- either to pick the phone up or just ignore it. He decided to pick it up, since ignoring it would cause more trouble to him. He opened the phone, but before he could say anything, a screeching voice blared in his ear.
"Kiba! Where the hell have you been!" his mother asked, furiously at her son.
"Mom! I was nowhere!"
"How could you say something like that to me! This dude from your school says that you and some friends went off somewhere and hadn't returned before curfew and that you had gone missing! What's that all about!"
"I don't know! I was like only five minutes late and that guy is gay!"
"Kiba!"
"Sorry… I'm fine mom, no need to get all worried for nothing…"
"Thank heaven you're alright though, I was so worried… so where were you anyways that made you so late?"
"Umm, nowhere mom, I said that already! Don't worry about it! Well, you know there's school tomorrow and I got to go to bed now mom. Bye!"
"Don't you dare hang up that phone on my Kiba!"
"What's up mom?"
"I asked you a question boy…"
"I was out with friends…"
"Where were you and what were you doing?"
"Mom! Don't be like one of those helicopter parents!"
"Sorry, I'm just worried for you boy… now, who is she?"
"Mom! Where did a 'she' come from!"
"Is there is no 'she', then why are you yelling at me?"
"…"
"I thought so. So who is she?"
"… Remember that girl that came with an injured dog on Sunday…?"
"Aw, she was so polite and nice-… Her! Are you serious? She's your type! I thought you would go with a more outgoing girl!"
"Mom, don't make up your own assumptions…"
"Well, she's a real keeper anyways. Nice personality, a bit shy, cute, nice body… what's her name?"
"Her name is Hyuuga Hinata. She's Neji's cousin…"
"… Your bug-eyed friend's relative…? Well, no matter why I thought she looked familiar in a way! She's a Hyuuga? Wow boy, talk about prestigious…"
"Mom!"
"Oh be quiet and let your mother be imaginative about marrying my son to wealth!"
"Mom, we're also rich. What the hell are you talking about?"
"Yeah! But they're the Hyuuga clan for Christ sake! They have titles, connections-!"
"Mom, if you're going to reduce this conversation into something stupid, then I'm hanging up right now…"
"Sorry Kiba, mama's proud of you! Bring her over sometimes, okay! Is she an animal person though? I need to know!"
"Mom!"
"Bye Kiba!" his mother stated with a giggle before hanging up the phone. Kiba stared at his cell phone for probably a minute before realizing what just happened.
"Ugh… this is going to be so troublesome… Holy shit! I'm talking like Shikamaru!" Kiba yelled in disbelief and shock as he ran into the bathroom to wash up and rub the Shika-ness away and out from him. Hinata was in bed, listened to Kiba's conversation, and passed out in the middle of it as they started talking about her. (What… an… unbelievable… moron…)
Shikamaru
Shikamaru walked to his room, leisurely while taking his time to not rush, as he slumped on the bed and checked his phone. It kept turning on and off for some reason, so he'll see what his mother wanted. He saw that he had six missed calls from her, and then suddenly his phone was vibrating again as his mother's picture popped up on the screen. He sighed before opening the phone on the fourth ring.
"Shikamaru! Where have you been! Why have you been missing my calls!" his mother yelled in the phone as Shikamaru kept the receiver a few inches away from his ear. He brought the receiver back to his ear after she had finally calmed down and stopped screaming.
"Troublesome…" Shikamaru simply said.
"Shikamaru! Tell me where you have been! I was so worried when a security guard at your school called and said that you didn't come back to school before curfew. I thought the worst possible scenarios like you being passed out at some random place or-"
"Mom… I'm alright… relax…"
"Where were you anyways?"
"I went out with my friends to the carnival…" (He's so honest…)
"On a school night?"
"Yup…"
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yup…"
"What is it?"
"I got a girlfriend, meaning another woman to nag at me besides you…" (Why the hell is this guy so honest! Probably just doesn't really care… oh well!)
"… You got a girlfriend! How! When! Who!"
"Mom, be quiet, you'll wake up my roommate…" Shikamaru stated as he smiled at the boy/girl on the other bed as she draped the covers over her body and head.
"So… who is she…?"
"Yamanaka Ino…"
"Yamanaka? Seriously? That's kind of a little high for your standards, isn't it?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing! So you're dating her? Nice one! Good luck! Wish you all the best!"
"Whatever…"
"Bring her over so I can see if she is as nagging as your mother to be capable of keeping you in track! Bye Shika!"
"Yeah, whatever, bye…" Shikamaru stated as he closed the phone and threw it on the side table, not even caring if it broke or not. "What a drag…" Shikamaru stated before going to sleep. In the bed, under the covers, Ino was blushing at how blunt he was with his mother- calling her his girlfriend, admitting everything like them on a date, wanting to bring her over to see his parents. It was all happening so fast! (The first word that comes to mind after reading what Ino is blushing at is 'idiot'…)
After a few days, Friday
It was soccer practice and everyone was practicing with partners- and we all know who partnered up with whom. Kiba and Hinata were practicing to snatch the ball away from an opponent, Naruto and Sakura were practicing tricks, Sasuke and Temari were practicing their shots, Shikamaru and Ino were practicing their goals, Lee and Kimimaru were practicing their speed while Neji and TenTen were arguing about team strategies (Stupid couple…). All of a sudden, Gai-Sensei came prancing by with his most youthful face ever.
"What's up, Gai-Sensei?" TenTen asked, breaking away from the heated argument to find out why Gai's spirit had boosted up a few notches.
"Did you finally defeat Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto asked, making Gai frown a bit.
"No… Damn Kakashi… I will defeat him soon with my awesome power of youth!" Gai stated, punching his fist in the air as a declaration. They all- except Lee- anime sweat-dropped at this.
"So what's up Gai-Sensei?" Kiba asked.
"Guess whose team is going to compete in the soccer nationwide tournament this year?" Gai asked with a grin. They all stood their shocked for about five seconds before breaking into their biggest grins- meaning Sasuke and Neji had small smiles on- and shouted and cheered in joy.
"Wahoo! Yes! Finally! Awesome! Our power of youth shall shine over all!" were some of the things they all shouted with joy.
"Hey! Hey! Don't get too excited! You all have to practice even more than before to pass the preliminary rounds! Burn with ten times your power of youth!" Gai screamed they all looked determinedly at each other.
"Don't bring us down…" Neji stated, directing that to the newbie group. TenTen was too happy to actually hear his comment as she literally started burning with the power of youth- like fire was around her, in her background, in her eyes with determination etc.
"I won't let you guys down!" TenTen shouted with determination and eagerly.
Sakuraharuno0012: Hey! How was that! I love Minato, so I just had to put him in soon! He's like so awesome!
Minato: Why thank you.
Naruto: So you like my dad better than me!
Me: No! I love both of you! It's just that Minato rarely comes in the picture because you keep hogging it so… I got excited! Shut up!
Sasuke: Let me get this straight… you think an old guy is hotter than I am…?
Minato: Hey!
Me: No again. Sasuke your hot and all, but he's Minato! Come on! Oh shut up, guys don't understand!
Baili11: I know, right…?
Me: Your still here?
Sakura: Anyways! R&R! We hope you enjoyed this chapter and wait for the next one! Thanks for reading until the end! Goodbye for now!
Me: Until next time…
To Be Continued!
