Disclaimer: I don't own any Naruto characters, or Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Authors Note: HAHAHA! Sorry it's taken so long to update. I've been being totally selfish in ignoring my fans pleas for an update. I've been so pre-occupied with my OWN romance going on. I have had little else to care for! But Now that summer is here, I have all this free time to be spent writing out the remaining chapters, yay! Not only have I been going out and dates and things, but I've also become COMPLETELY obsessed with sailor moon all over again. I loved it when I was little, and now that I've re-discovered it via youtube, the obsession is back! It's such a great, classic anime sigh AND this summer I'm going to OTAKON! WOOOOOT! Maybe I'll see some of you there, ne? I'm going as Majin Bu, lmao. I'll put pics on my myspace once I get the costume ready and set.

P.S.-If you haven't all ready, check out my myspace, the link is on my profile.

P.P.S-Do me a favor, all of you. Check out my new story chapter. I'm uploading the first chapter, just to see what kind of response I get on it. Of course I will finish this one before I start to work on the other but do me a favor and R&R it to tell me your oppions. It's is NOTHING like this one, it is quote a bit more mature.

Thanks a bunch!

Ro-may-oh and Juliet

It was back to drama practice, and the set was bustling about. Mr. Hatake was in a hysterical mood, the drama practices had been on a hiatus for a week, due to the missing presence of three of the plays key actors. Now that Sasuke, Naruto and Lee had returned from their suspensions, Mr. Hatake was in a frenzy to get in as much practice as possible before they plays debut (which wouldn't be until April, but still!).

The drama club groaned in frustration. They couldn't see what the big rush was, Kakashi had no need to put so much pressure on them so early on.

"If he didn't think we would have enough time to work on it then why did he choose such a long play?" Naruto muttered lamely. He was watching Kakashi whipping the art students currently working on the set, with a meter stick.

"Ah well, you know Kakashi." Answered a bedraggled Tenten, who was hastily putting the finishing touches on Neji's costume. "He always has to do the best- OUCH!" She shouted as she had pricked herself with her needle.

"DAMMIT Neji, STAY STILL! I still have TWENTY other costumes to work on so GIVE ME A BREAK!"

In a normal circumstance, Neji would have lashed out at her with his sharp tongue, but after seeing her eyes gleaming with red, he decided it wisest to keep his mouth shut.

Meanwhile, sitting in the seat below the stage, Sasuke was in story mode, telling Sakura, Ino, Naruto, Kiba and Hinata, how he had spent his "week off". Shikamaru was not included, he had fallen asleep, and his head was lolling on the side.

Suddenly, the others noticed a dark presence looming over them. Naruto tried to warn Sasuke, but all that formed from his lips was and "Ungh".

Sasuke was about to tell them how he had almost lit fire to a dumpster behind the grocery market (long story), when a cold voice interrupted hmm.

"Well, it's nice to hear how you spent your punishment time having fun, Mr. Uchiha. Do you know how much time was wasted thanks to you and you're idiotic fight?"

Sasuke felt a shiver go down his spine, that voice could only be the voice of a man who was in desperation of having his play brought to life, with no screw-ups permitted. He slowly turned his head.

Kakashi stood tall over them, and it seemed as if an evil aura possessed him. The dim lighting over the audience area made his face seem even more ominous, shadows enhanced by his mask and eyepiece. The group gulped in fear and anticipation. Naruto shakily raised a hand and said "H-Hey K-Kakashi…"

Kakashi ignored him. Ina dangerous voice he hissed "Why are you not doing something useful such as practicing lines?"

Kiba spoke up, "W-well, you see sir, we we're just catching up with our old buddy-"

"SILENCE!" Kakashi thundered. "YOU are onstage in FIVE MINUTES, this is YOUR scene Kiba, WHY ARE YOU NOT PRACTICING YOUR LINES, ALL OF YOU?"

"B-but Mr. Hatake," Ino pleaded. "Some of us aren't even going on stage today."

Mr. Hatake glared at her. "Did Michelangelo not paint the "Sistine Chapel" because they had no ladder tall enough? Did Da Vinci not paint the "Mona Kisa" because he had run out of canvas? DID BRUTUS NOT MURDER CAESAR BECAUSE HE WAS HIS BEST FRIEND?"

The group twitched at his idea of a comparison, but were saved from replying when Shino, the weird bug boy, saved them by blinding Kakashi with the spotlight.

Kakashi backed away from him, his arms covering his face.

"Shino! What the devil are you doing with the spotlights!"

"Sorry sir, but it doesn't really matter now, I cant figure out how to turn them off…" Kakashi blundered over to assist Shino with the light.

Ino sighed. "What a drama queen."

Sakura gulped. "Mr. Hatake can be scary when play production doesn't go exactly according to plan."

Naruto had been quite for a minute. "Hey, hey! Why was he talking about Ninja Turtles?"

Kakashi's idea of play practice turned out to be hell for all. He had terrified everyone, and a freshmen girl had been reduced to hysterics when Kakashi made her repeat the Chorus over and over again.

Kiba now stood, desperate not to make any mistakes and be subjected to the wrath of Kakashi.

"Part, fools! Put up your kunai; you know not what you do." He shouted, and he proceeded to beat down the now rubber kunai of the other stage actors.

Neji stepped into the light, in his newly tailored costume. "What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death."

Benvolio tried to console Tybalt.

"I do but keep the peace: put up thy kunai, or manage it to part these men with me."

Tybalt spat at Benvolio's vain attempt to bring about peace. He looked at Benvolio's drawn kunai and his holster of shuriken.

"What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee: Have at thee, coward!" Tybalt took hold of his own holster and pulled a kunai out. He then proceeded to charge at Benvolio and clash the two rubber weapons together.

In the next minute, the extras had appeared on stage and began to fight each other as well. The fight had been choreographed by Tenten and Shikamaru, but they had not had the chance to work on it as of lately.

Soon the stage was full of chaos an confusion, as people crossed into other people's paths, random others were poked with kunai and people were stepping all over each other.

Kakashi spent the rest of the practice straining his voice yelling at people, and perfecting the fight sequence.

By the time the practice had let out, it was 10 minutes late. Students scrambled towards there activity buses, in hopes that they would not be left at school.

Sakura ran through the hallways. She had desperately needed to use the bathroom, and was in too much fear of asking Kakashi for permission.

As she neared the exit, she looked through the school's front glass doors, and her hearts sped as she saw the buses leaving the port. She picked up sped and flew through the front doors and down the stone steps. She saw her bus going by and waved for the driver to stop. He looked at her and shook his head, driving on.

"DAMMIT! Friggin jerk!" She shouted in frustration.

Sakura sank down on the steps and pulled her coat tightly around her. Now she would have to walk all the way to the office and request to use their phone so she could call her mother or father, who would not be able to pick her up for another hour. She cursed at her bad luck.

'Oh well' she though. 'At least this will be a good excuse as to why I should have a cell phone.'

"Hey, you need a ride home?"

Sakura looked up to meet Sasuke, sitting in the drivers seat of a black convertible, it's hood up.

She slowly nodded her head before she gathered her thoughts together.

"N-No thanks, I'd better not, my mom would kill me." Only after she said it did she realize how stupid a thing it was to say.

Sasuke smirked at her. "What, your mommy won't let you get in a car with a bad boy like me?"

Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Well didn't you take a ride from that guy Shin?" Sasuke pointed out.

'Oh yeah, I did, didn't I?' Sakura remembered.

"Well, yeah but…" But what, she was just being particularly rebellious that day?

"Well I can guarantee" Sasuke continued, "That this is one bad boy you are especially safe with."

Sakura frowned. Oh how badly she wanted to accept, but she knew, if her father was home, she would have hell to pay.

"Well, if you really don't want a ride, it's okay..."Sasuke said as he began to roll up the window.

"Wait!" Sakura shouted. Sasuke stopped rolling up the window.

"It IS pretty cold out here nd my parents…If dad's home you can always drop me off a little down the street…" She said quietly.

Sasuke smirk was back. "Alright, then hurry up and get in, I'm turning on the heat.

Sakura picked up her messenger bag and got into the passengers seat.

"Thanks a lot." She said.

"No problem." Sasuke replied, and he put the car into drive and pulled out of the school. Classic rock was playing on the radio.

"Sooo, when did you get your license?" Sakura said, desperate for any form of conversation with the boy.

"A couple months ago, actually. I just got around to getting a car last week though." He replied.

"It's a really nice car." She complimented.

"The Mazda MX-5, it's not a bad car at all. A lot of fun to drive."

"Looks kinda expensive, did your parents pay for it?" Sakura asked him.

Sasuke didn't respond right away, though his hand was clutched very tightly around the gear shift.

"…My parents didn't exactly pay for this car. I have a lot of money in the bank."

Sakura waited for him to go on, but he didn't. She could also feel tension in the way he answered her, so she decided not to press the issue.

Sakura couldn't stand the painful silence in the car. "Sooooo, do you have a job or anything? Make a left here."

"Yeah, I do a lot of maintenance work in the apartment I live in."

"At this next light, make a right. Do you get a lot of cash doing that?"

"Ehh, yeah, I guess a pretty decent amount." He responded.

"It's this street here, see the white house, with the stone siding?" Sakura tried to see if there was a car in the driveway. There was none. She was lucky.

"Well," She said. "Thank you for giving me a ride home."

"Not a problem. Anytime. We'll keep this a little secret from your parentals."

She smiled and grabbed her bag by her foot. She reached for the handle, but didn't pull it. Sasuke and her looked at each other for a moment, wanting something, but waiting for a sign from the other.

"I, uh, better get outta here before your parents show up." Sasuke said after a moment.

"Uh, yeah, I guess that would be a good idea." Sakura got out of the car and smiled at Sasuke before shutting the door. As she crossed her lawn, she turned to see the Mazda pulling out, and she waved as Sasuke drove off.

Turning back to the house, she couldn't help but feel disappointed that she had not said a little something more to the boy, or he to her. And most of all, she was disappointed that she had not given him a goodbye kiss.
