Chapter 2
Sasuke and Sakura were far from enthusiastic when the rehearsal began, unlike a certain blonde haired boy, who was really worked up for proving his 'awesome and cool acting skills'.
The others were generally unpleased with the roles that given to them, but they decided to follow it.
After all, if they'd complain, Kakashi might give them a far more worse role.
They had learned not to trust him. The man had a major evilness complex in him. They were starting to think that Iruka was being deceived by him. The poor man.
Speaking of the devil, Kakashi walked to the center of the stage. "Good morning, dear students! Have you read your scripts?" When he heard a chorus of "Nooo.." , he clucked his tongue.
"And here I expected you to memorize the dialogues already! Okaay then, take your time, but I want you all to rehearse this drama by next week!" he said dramatically.
Of course, they groaned. Again. This groaning and moaning thing had been a habit to them for the past weeks.
"Oh yeah, somehow I didn't see Iruka- sensei this morning." Naruto wondered while looking around frantically. Kakashi grinned widely.
Hinata mumbled, "Is he sick or something?" If possible, his grin widened. "Oh, no, not at all… He can't get up because of his reward to me…You know, due to sore-ness in a certain body part.." Kakashi stressed the words he, reward and me.
His students stared in horror.
One thing for sure. Learning to act was not so easy as he had thought. Naruto could not memorize all the dialogues he was supposed to, although the prince hardly had many lines to say.
"Oh, what a beautiful princess…What the hell do I have to say after that?" he said after a few minutes of concentrating. He was sitting under a tree, and the gentle breeze around him did not help either.
Naruto reread his script frantically. "Aargh, I just knew it that this is not my thing." Then his eyes widened when he read the script further.
"WHAT THE FK…..?!?!" he screamed.
Suddenly, a rustle was heard. Naruto tilted his head slightly to see who it was. When he saw him, he immediately turned his attention back to his script. Shikamaru walked to his direction.
"Yo." He sat down beside Naruto. "I heard someone screamed a few minutes ago, and came to check it. What's the matter?" he asked the blond lazily.
Naruto was still staring at the script with a disgusted expression. "You…you won't believe this..!!!!! That...that perverted sensei!!! Is he having something against me or what?!"
Seeing that Naruto was not going to tell him the matter soon, he snatched the script from Naruto's hands.
The prince leans down to kiss Snow White while the seven dwarves watch him..
Shikamaru smirked and held his hand to shake Naruto's hand. Naruto stared at him with disbelief written on his expression. "This is NOT a laughing matter, you know!!! I….I have to kiss him!!" Naruto shouted at his companion in near hysteria.
"Okay, so you have to kiss Sasuke. But is it so surprising? I mean, when you accept this 'prince' role, don't you know that you have to kiss the Snow White?" Shikamaru muttered while leaning against the tree.
Naruto only grumbled. He finally looked away, and said, "How could I know when there's no one to tell me fairy tales?"
Shikamaru nodded his apology. Sometimes, he didn't remember that Naruto was an orphan, because he had such an energetic personality. "Sorry."
Naruto set his eyes downcast for a moment, and smiled. "It's okay." Suddenly, he brightened up. "I forgot to ask you something. What is your role?"
When Shikamaru did not answer, he nudged his friend's shoulder. "Weeeell?" Shikamaru winced when Naruto's grin got wider.
"The wicked queen."
Naruto snorted.
OMAKE
Somewhere In Konoha
"Kakashiiiii, damn youuuuuuuu…!!!!! My ass hurts like hell…!! Auugh…Don't you think you overdid it ?!" moaned Iruka. He glared at his lover.
Kakashi smiled innocently. "Didn't you say that this was my reward? So, I didn't get to have it my way?"
A minute later, Kakashi ran to the nearby hospital to mend his broken nose.
A/N : Well, this chappie is short too. I guess I can't do anything about this, since I have to pass the final exam a couple of weeks later. And thank you to those who reviewed this pointless story!
