AN: wow... now that I read over this... it makes me really amused. xD PaperDragonfly, xMendoukusai, and I had a whole conversation about 'tasting the rainbow' and such after this was written.. it was quite disturbing yet increadibly amusing.
(and the float idea was based on our grade's actual float this year. -sweatdrop- xD annnnnnnnnd... we were learning about Mussolini and his guerrillas and the battle of the bulge in World History so thusss, the amusing reactions our characters have.)
"I think I'm forever scarred after that weekend," Kaiya groaned as she dragged herself through the hallways the next Monday.
"YOU'RE scarred?! Did YOU get thrown up on by a plastic baby?!" Natsu screeched, almost clawing out her hair.
"No, but I got THE talk from Kira and Kabuto, my hand dipped in CHIP DIP because Hidan got thrown into my LAP, my other hand almost SKEWERED because Kakuzu can't chop carrots for his LIFE, and Itachi-san kept singing the wedding song for me and Uchiha-teme." She wailed in response.
"Wow…" Natsu said looking slightly disturbed before grinning maniacally. "So when's the wedding?" she sang.
"RAWR!!!!!" Kaiya exclaimed tackling her friend to the ground.
Later that day in history class, Asuma was explaining the various battles of World War II.
"…And then Mussolini was assassinated by guerillas…"
"Gorillas?" Naruto asked, an image of the large hairy mammals from the jungle wielding machine guns and wearing bandanas popping into his mind.
"Not THOSE gorillas!" Kiba scolded
"Yeah! G-u-e-r-i-l-l-a-s!" Ino added.
"OHHH!" Naruto exclaimed in comprehension.
"…And at the Battle of the Bulge…"
"YOSH! I have battles of the bulge too!" Sai exclaimed.
"Oh God!" Kaiya, Natsu, Tenten, Sakura, Ino, and Temari sighed hiding their faces in their arms.
"That's way too much information…" All the boys thought looking disturbed.
"OMG! Sai's such a manly man!" The rest of the girls gushed in their minds.
"Not THAT bulge!" Kaiya scolded, hitting her perverted friend over the head.
"Well what was I SUPPOSED to think?!" Sai defended.
"Be a PURE soul!" Kaiya continued determinedly.
"NEVER!" Sai exclaimed, jumping onto a desk. "MY MANLY NEEDS SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!!!!"
"Shut up!"
"NEVAHHH!!" he cackled, leaping from his desk and running down the hall, pulling his clothes off along the way.
"….Anyway…." Asuma continued, trying to pretend like he hadn't seen anything.
"OHMYGOD! Naked boy!" Jiraiya's voice crackled over the loud speaker as he fell out of his chair.
"BWAHAHAHAHAAA! THE SCHOOL IS MINE!!!" Sai's cackle filled the school, "From now on, all girls will be required to wear mini, mini skirts and tight blouses and—"
His ranting was cut off by Tsunade entering the office. "Clothes. On. NOW!" she ordered.
"But—"
"NOW DAMMIT!"
With a small 'meep', Sai reluctantly left the office, slithering through the hallways in search of his discarded uniform.
"…My uncle yelled at me for using up all the minutes on my cell phone even though he was the only one who kept calling me all weekend…" Neji sulked at lunch, later that day.
"My plastic doll cried for twenty-four hours straight…" Kiba confided.
"My brother kept trying to give me condoms…" Sasuke cringed, "And Sasori and Zetsu gave me The Talk…with a demonstration given by puppets…and then another one with flowers…"
"I'm still going through therapy from my weekend experience…" Haku recalled.
"I lost IQ points from being hit in the head with my shougi board." Shikamaru sighed.
"Ino fed all my food to the doll!" Chouji wailed.
"…I caused the biggest accident on record." Naruto confessed, "And I killed six squirrels and Kakashi-sensei's book in the process."
"What does THAT have do with anything?" Kiba questioned.
Naruto shrugged, "It was hurting my conscience."
"And this is why I lucked out when I got a partner that does all the work!" sang Sai.
"Says the one who ran streaking through the entire school…" Sasuke muttered.
"Don't even go there!" Sai complained, "I mean you say it as though YOU'VE never had insuppressible manly urges."
The others stared at him for a few minutes before Naruto spoke up, "You mean the kind of urge like when you just HAVE to have some ramen?"
The others sweatdropped.
"…Yes Naruto…that's exactly the kind of urges Sai was talking about…" Kiba said sarcastically.
"Yosh! It's time for the float parade!" Lee exclaimed.
"No one cares about the parade." Kiba muttered.
Not hearing Kiba's comment, Lee continued his rant on how the float would undoubtedly be youthful.
Seeing this as their chance to escape, the other boys quickly ran away.
"YOOOOU—Hey, where did they go?" Lee asked blinking. "Yosh! They must have gone to see the floats already! Wait for me, my friends!" he called as he ran off in the direction of the floats.
"Is the coast clear?" Haku hissed, his back pressed firmly against the wall.
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUTH!"
"I'll take that as a 'no'…" he cringed.
"Isn't he like best friends with Gaara and Neji?" Chouji asked, twitching. "Why isn't he exclaiming his youth to them?"
"Because Gaara and Neji have sticks shoved up their asses and therefore show no 'youth'," Naruto answered.
"Troublesome," grunted Shikamaru.
"Ah!" Lee's loud voice rang through the area, causing their backs to stiffen.
"Shit! We've been caught!" Kiba cried grimly.
"Gaara-kun!"
The boys all heaved a mutual sigh when Lee's voice faded away. "Thank God for Gaara," Naruto grumbled poking his head out from the alleyway.
"I never thought those words would escape our lips." Haku murmured in agreement.
"Naruto-nii-san?" Naruto's head jerked in the direction of the voice. Black eyes were large with shock.
"Uh…Hey Konohamaru…" the blonde greeted.
"What are you doing in the alley…With Haku…ALONE?"
Naruto and Haku exchanged a look before screeching, "NO! Konohamaru, it's not what you think!!"
The freshman twitched as he took several steps back. "Sure Naruto-nii-san, suuure…"
"Konohamaru!" Naruto scolded.
"MY BOSS FOLLOWS THE RAAAAAAAINBOWWWWW!!!!" The freshman cried, running off.
"This is your fault." Naruto stated to Haku.
"My fault?!" Haku exclaimed.
"YOUR FAULT! Why must you be so femininely feminine?!"
That only resulted in Naruto getting thrown into the dumpster, head first, with the lid clamped down tightly.
"Note to self…Never get on Haku's bad side," Kiba thought after observing everything from around another corner with the other members of their group. They followed Haku at a safe distance after that. Haku just grinned brightly as he skipped off to the parade, humming a cheery tune.
"…Hey guys?" Naruto called once all his friends had left. "…Guys?! C'mon! GUUUUYYYYYS!" he pounded on the metal furiously. "…Hey are those my tennis shoes? …OHMYGAWD THEY'RE JIROUBU'S JOCK STRAPS! LET ME OUT! AHHHHHHH!!!!"

"Hello ladies," Haku greeted, walking up to the group of girls.
"Hey Haku," They chimed in return.
"Uh…New wig?" Ino questioned, in which Haku nodded brightly. Adorning his head was a long orange wig, tied into a braid, with shoulder-length bangs that parted in the middle to frame his face. "It's…interesting."
"I know right? Temari picked it out for me! Isn't it great?" Haku grinned.
"Yeeea," They replied slowly, turning to look at Temari. The blonde just laughed nervously and sweatdropped.
"So, uh, where's Naru-chan?" Natsu asked looking around.
"He had something to catch up on," Haku answered, attempting to hide his devious grin.
"Oh…Kay."
A small sigh of disappointment escaped Hinata's lips as she hung her head.
"Has the parade started yet?" Chouji asked standing on his tip-toes to try and peer over the crowd.
Sakura shook her head. "Gai-sensei's still making his speech on youth."
Shikamaru groaned. "Every damn year…How long has been going at it?"
"The past ten minutes," Kaiya answered. "He added in some things about being hip and cool, so it's a bit different this year."
"It gets longer every year." Tenten sighed.
"What's the theme for the float?" Kiba asked.
"Hollywood." Sai answered.
"Isn't that an American theme?" Tenten questioned, quirking a brow.
Ino shrugged. "We ran out of ideas."
Kiba face-faulted, shaking his head. "So what's our float?" he questioned.
"Well…" Ino began, looking rather sheepish. "We were going to do Casablanca…some American romance classic…but then the boys were idiots and decided to do Rocky… which is some story about a boxer. I swear, Americans have the oddest ideas for movies."
Shikamaru sweatdropped as a truck pulling a platform with four poles roped together by string and carrying two people in the middle passed by. "…That's not it, is it?" he questioned.
"Acutally…" Ino dead-panned.
"Wow, we're pathetic." Tenten announced.
"Fate must be against us…even the freshmen have a better float than us…" Neji observed.
"Shut up!" Ino wailed, "Blame Sasuke—he's the president of the junior class!"
"Hey!" Sasuke growled, hearing his name mentioned.
"And in fourth place…The Junior class! Third place…the freshmen, second place, the sophomores.. And finally in first place….the seniors!" Jiraiya declared from his podium. "Good effort everyone!"

"…I think that was our lamest float yet…" Kaiya said glumly.
"Well on the bright side, the bonfire's on Thursday!" Natsu said cheerfully.
"Yeah…too bad we can't just conveniently fast-forward to that…" Sakura sighed.
"Alas, this is real life and not some random story written by two people who are either on crack or have way too much time on their hands." Temari sighed.
"Or they could have both of those symptoms!" Natsu piped in.
Sakura, Kaiya, Hinata, Tenten, and Ino just stared at their companions as though they were the ones on crack.
"ANYWAY…" Kaiya cut in, "Since those are ridiculous thoughts…we'll just continue with our day as usual, okay?"
"Party pooper," Natsu replied, sticking her tongue out at her friend but continuing on her way to class nonetheless.
"Study hall's a pain…" Kiba complained.
"Yes, but it's better than witnessing Sai go streaking through school again." Natsu shuddered.
"I don't wanna go to Independent Living!" Kiba whined.
"Noo kidding. I heard from Kaiya-chan who heard it from Deidara and Sasori that we learn about health this semester too…" Natsu wailed.
At the mention of health class, Kiba's ears immediately perked up. "And suddenly, Independent Living sounds like fun!"
"PERVERT!" Natsu shrieked, hitting the boy over the head with her history book.
AN: wow... we pretty much just totally jumped around randomly in this chapter... O.o anywaaaaaay, the next one'll make more sense.. sorry guys!
