Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: All
Karaoke
YES!! IT IS HERE!! THE MOST ANTICIPATED CHAPTER EVER!! Well, actually, I guess it ISN'T really the most anticipated chapter ever. It's kind of one of those ideas that we say, "Hm…what can they do in THIS chapter…?" and then add, "I KNOW! HOW ABOUT KARAOKE?!" But it never ends up happening. You know what, though? Today it IS!
"Come on Shino!" said Kiba eagerly as he and Hinata dragged Shino down to the karaoke room that was conveniently located right below the academy. "Everyone is going to be there! And when are we going to be hyper enough to be able to stay up this late to do karaoke?!"
"Kiba, it's only eight o'clock." Shino tried to say but he was promptly taken down the stairs and into the mysterious beyond. They reached the karaoke room in seconds where everyone was sitting around waiting.
"Wow!" exclaimed Hinata as she ran over to join the girls at the girls table. Kiba frowned because he wanted to sit with Hinata but couldn't very well sit at the girls table or else the guys would make fun of him. So, instead, he pulled Shino over to the guys table which was MUCH more heavily populated than the girls table.
"Hey everyone!" said Kiba enthusiastically as he pulled himself up a chair.
"Hi Kiba…" said everyone, not quite as enthusiastically.
"Has anyone gone yet?" Kiba asked.
"Sakura and Ino did a joint effort of 'My Heart Will Go On' that completely bombed but other than that, no." Sasuke answered.
"I thought their performance was good!" Naruto protested.
"I'm just waiting for them to start up with 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'…" Shikamaru sighed.
"All right!" cheered Sakura, standing up. "Now that all the girls are here, let's do 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'!!"
"YEAH!!" said the other girls as they all ran up to the stage and put a CD in the karaoke machine.
"See?" said Shikamaru as they started singing in the background.
"You're so smart, Shikamaru!" said Chouji.
"Neji, which song should we sing?" Lee asked, showing the list to Neji.
Neji looked at Lee as if he was an idiot. "Wait…are you serious?" he said.
"Yeah!" said Lee.
"I am way above karaoke." Neji said.
"So you're saying that you came here but you won't even sing anything?!" Lee demanded. "Then why did you even come?!"
Neji was about to answer with a response that made complete sense when Naruto had a sudden outburst and pointed to one of the songs on the list. "I found the perfect song for you to sing, Sasuke!" he said.
Sasuke leaned over curiously to see what Naruto was pointing to.
"It's by Dennis Leary and it's called 'I'm an Asshole'!" Naruto said.
"HEY!!" yelled Ino as she and Sakura came running over.
"Don't insult Sasuke!!" said Sakura.
"And stop interrupting our song!" Ino added. The two of them ran back over where they had kind of left Tenten and Hinata hanging and then continued their song.
"Wow, Sasuke, good thing you had your girlfriends to protect you." Naruto mumbled.
Sasuke decided to ignore Naruto and go back to sitting there looking cool.
"Fine, if Neji's not going to sing with me then you guys have to!" Lee said as he flipped through the book faster than the speed of light.
"I'M going to sing too!" said Kiba.
"Me too!" said Naruto.
"I want to sing too!" said Chouji. "Won't you sing too, Shikamaru?"
"No." Shikamaru answered.
"We always seem to be split down the middle in the exact same way since I KNOW Shino doesn't want to sing." Kiba observed. Shino nodded.
"I get to pick the song because I'm the oldest!" Lee declared. "I'm going to pick my favorite inspirational song that I play in the background whenever I'm training."
"Not THAT song…" Neji said, slapping his forehead.
"Tub Thumpin' by Chumbawumba!!" Lee said dramatically. Everyone looked confused. "Or… more commonly known as that song where they repeat, 'I get knocked down but I get up again!' one million times."
"I love that song!!" said Kiba.
"Do you think the girls are almost done?" Chouji wondered.
"I don't know." Said Shikamaru. "This song goes on FOREVER."
"Shikamaru, do you have something against this song?" Chouji asked.
"You have no idea, Chouji." Shikamaru answered.
When Girls Just Wanna Have Fun finally ended, a new quartet ran up and practically shoved the girls off the stage. The girls didn't mind because they were already on their way back to the table to pick their next big hit.
"I love 'She's a Maniac'!" Tenten exclaimed.
"I've never heard that song before…" Hinata confessed.
"Neither have I." Sakura said.
Tenten looked at Ino, but Ino only shrugged.
"Fine…" Tenten said sadly. That was her favorite song but she couldn't very well sing it all by herself!
As they searched through the booklet that had the lists of songs that were available, the group of four were meanwhile being EXTREMELY loud to the point in which everyone felt like smiting them.
"Lee is so embarrassing." Neji said to the rest of the table still sitting. "I hate it when we're in public and he starts acting stupid because then I get associated with him."
"I feel the same thing when I'm with Naruto in public." Sasuke agreed.
"Kiba is really really loud." Shino added.
"Chouji's usually under control, INO'S the annoying one." Shikamaru admitted. "I think those other three just bring out the worst in him."
The four of them gave exasperated sighs.
"How much longer are we going to have to stay at this thing?" Sasuke said, looking at his ninja watch.
"Technically, we don't HAVE to stay." Shino said.
"Then why are we?" asked Neji.
Before any of them could give a logical explanation as to why they continued to stay there, the group that was previously singing suddenly came back. Yes, it was the shortest four and half minutes of EVERYONE'S lives but that's entirely beside the point! They were all sweaty and gross too because they couldn't very well sing that song without dancing like fools.
"That was fun!" said Kiba, sitting down and picking up the list. "Which one should we sing next?"
"I think I need a breather!" said Lee as he took the list from Kiba and fanned himself with it.
"Naw, I'm ready to go now!" said Naruto.
"Please spare us from having to listen to anymore." Sasuke said. But the four wouldn't have been able to go up and sing anyway because the girls had already run up and were currently singing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun AGAIN.
"They're singing it AGAIN?" Shikamaru said, putting his head down on the table.
"They're not even doing a good job…" Neji sighed as if it was affecting him.
"Shino, I really think you should go up there and show them how it's done." Kiba said.
"No." said Shino.
"Shino wants to be a rapper." Kiba told everyone.
"No I don't." Shino denied.
"Yes you do, it is SO obvious." Kiba said. "He has every Aaron Carter CD there is."
"What are you talking about?" Shino said. "Do you always compulsively lie or am I just lucky?"
"You're just no fun, that's all, Shino." Said Kiba. "It's nothing PERSONAL."
The girls stopped half way through Girls Just Wanna Have Fun because they thought it was kind of a stupid idea to sing it AGAIN. They walked over to the boys table.
"How come no one that we care about, specifically Sasuke, is singing?" Sakura asked.
"Because we, or rather I, don't feel like it." Sasuke answered.
"But there are so many romantic duets that we could sing!" Ino said. "You and me, Sasuke, I mean."
"You girls are so annoying." Sasuke said because he KNEW that that always works to freak them out. And it did work, unlike his fire moves that never work. Because, while those never work, this simple phrase DOES! Wow, I feel like the Department of Redundancy Department! YAY!!
"Sasuke called us annoying!!" screeched Ino and Sakura as they started crying.
"Well, I'm tired of being here." Sasuke said, standing up.
"Yeah, and I don't know why I even came here in the first place." Neji added.
"If Sasuke's not staying so that I can impress him then I have no reason to stay!" said Ino.
"YEAH!" said Sakura.
"If Sakura's leaving then so shall I!" Lee announced.
"Hey, hey!" said Naruto. "I'LL be the one to walk Sakura home!!"
"Oh um…I guess I'll leave too…" Hinata said nervously. She didn't figure there would be a point in being there if NARUTO left!
"I don't want to be the only girl." Tenten said.
"Hinata, if you're leaving now, you probably need someone to walk you home since it's dark outside." Said Kiba. "Akamaru, you're coming too and I don't want to hear any arguments!"
"The only reason I'm here is because Kiba forced me so if he's leaving then so am I." Shino said.
"I agree with Neji, I never wanted to be here in the first place." Said Shikamaru.
"Well, not only would it be ludicrous for me to stay here alone, but it would be equally ludicrous for me to be ANYWHERE without Shikamaru!" Chouji said openly.
The whole gang went upstairs and outside.
"Sasuke, I have to compliment you on your brilliance." Shikamaru said. "I do believe that you're the only person out of all of us who would be able to start such a chain reaction that would have everyone eventually leave."
"Of course I'm the only one." Said Sasuke. He left Shikamaru there and walked off, feeling cooler than he's ever felt in his life, which meant he was feeling pretty gosh darned cool.
