Alright here's the chapter that I promised. Am I forgiven? Also this
chapter is dedicated to my anonymous reviewer: someone, Foxgrl, and Kadetto
I'll try to have more rivalry action between Sasuke and Naruto but,
remember they will be like brothers later on.
(-Chapter 8: In Naruto's house-)
As Iruka walked into the living room he saw Naruto on the X-box. Looking into the kitchen he saw Naruto's bag on the kitchen table.
"Naruto I thought I said that you have to finish your homework before you played your game." Iruka said in a parenting tone.
"Oh come on Iruka!!! It's Friday the least you could do is give me a break." Naruto pleaded.
"Sorry Naruto...but, if you don't do your homework now you'll never do it." Iruka said.
As Naruto saved his game and turned everything off he walked into the kitchen. When he started to work on the report that Orochimoru gave him, Iruka started to work on dinner.
"So what did you do in school today?" Iruka asked. As Naruto thought about the question he remembered his talk with Sasuke which only happened an hour ago.
"Sasuke asked me to join his band again." Naruto said simply.
"Did you tell him no like you have been for the past week?" Iruka asked. Iruka was really upset that his nephew wasn't even considering the idea. He knew his nephew had the talent but was upset that his bastard of a brother never let Naruto explore the talent he had.
"Actually I told him I would think about. He gave me a lot to think about." Naruto stated. "I wanted to first make sure it was fine with you."
"Of course it's fine with me as long as you get your homework done before you practice with them." Iruka said. Iruka was completely pleased that his nephew was going to consider the idea and he was even for pleased that Naruto asked him for permission, it showed that Naruto respected him and wasn't going to do something that he didn't approve of. "So now that it's ok with me are you going to say yes?"
"I don't know I still have a lot to think about..."Naruto trailed off. Even if it was alright with his uncle he still had a lot to consider.
"No rush right? I'm sure that you will make the right decision." Iruka said. He didn't want to push Naruto into not joining the band so he decided to drop the subject.
"Thanks Iruka." Naruto said as he continued to do his report.
As the rest of the afternoon went by Naruto finished his report. As Iruka and Naruto ate their meal they got a phone call. As Iruka got up he walked to the phone on the wall and answered it. "Hello...Oh hi Hinata...no we were just eating...sure hold on a second." Iruka said as he turned to Naruto. "It's Hinata; she wants to talk to you."
With that Naruto got up from the table and answered the phone. "Hi Hinata."
"Hi Naruto, hey everyone is going to the mall tomorrow and we were wandering if you wanted to join us?" Hinata asked.
"Sure sounds like a great idea. What time should I meet you and where?" Naruto asked.
"Everyone's meeting at the arcade around 6:30." She explained.
"Arcade at 6:30 got it." Naruto said with enthusiasm. "Cya there."
"Alright cya." And with that Naruto and Hinata hung up. When Naruto finished talking to Hinata he walked back to the kitchen and asked Iruka if he could go to the mall.
"Of course Naruto...but, on one condition." Iruka said.
"What's the condition?" Naruto asked his uncle.
"You stop asking me questions you already know the answer to." Iruka said with a smile. Naruto smiled and they both laughed.
(-The Mall 6:30 p.m.-)
As Naruto walked into the arcade he saw everyone at the DDR machine taking turns. When he walked up to them Neji and Hinata finished playing, and Sasuke got up on the stage to take his turn. At the moment everyone had been sorely beaten by Sasuke, so when Naruto walked up he was the first pick to be thrown up on the stage.
"Come on guys I just got here and your throwing me up already?" Naruto asked completely surprised.
"What's the matter Naruto? Afraid to get your socks knocked off by me?" Sasuke said in a tone that could only be called humorous.
"No, just didn't want to make you look like a joke in front of everyone." Naruto said as he put the setting on maniac. Sasuke had only been playing on light and heavy with everyone else so when Naruto put it on maniac he was glad that he could finally play against someone that he classified as a challenge. When Sasuke also put the difficulty level to maniac everyone got as close as they could to watch this game...normally they wouldn't care but this was the first time they saw Sasuke put the difficulty on maniac.
"Alright Naruto since you just got here I'll let you pick the first song." Sasuke said with great anticipation to get the game started.
"All right let's see..." Naruto said as he looked through the song lists. "...alright lets start of with Dynamite Rave." And with that Naruto picked the setting and the first round was on. No one said a thing as they started the song...no one knew what to say. When the song finished Naruto and Sasuke didn't even look winded.
"Ok Sasuke...it's your turn." Naruto said satisfied that he was able to keep up with Sasuke.
"Alright I know just the song." Sasuke said as he highlighted Captain Jack and pressed enter. Now if anyone was about to say anything they were once again struck speechless because Captain Jack was defiantly not an easy song. But, once again they were all shocked as Naruto and Sasuke went through the song with ease. At the end of Captain Jack Naruto and Sasuke were starting to sweat a little bit.
"All right Sasuke, enough with the warm-ups." Naruto said.
"Well what do you suggest?" Sasuke asked.
"How bout some Paranoia?" Naruto said as he went to the Paranoia remix.
"Sounds good." Agreed Sasuke. With that said the third round commenced. This round however was different because Sasuke and Naruto were both struggling to get through the song. When it finished both of them were worn out.
"Ummm...you guys thirsty?" Sakura asked.
"YES!" they both practically shouted.
"Good thing the food court isn't to far from here." Exclaimed TenTen. As everyone walked to the food court Sasuke and Naruto slowly dragged themselves behind everyone else. Once they got to the food court everyone went to where they wanted to get food and then pushed a few of the tables together so that everyone could sit at the same table. As they all chatted and ate their meals Naruto spotted someone that he never wanted to see again...his father, and even worse he was walking over to them. As quietly and unnoticeably as possible he whispered to Hinata who was sitting next to him. "Hinata go get security."
Hearing this Hinata looked at Naruto. "Why?" she asked curiously.
"My fathers coming over here, on top of that he's violating the restraining order." Naruto said. That was all he needed to say, once he finished explaining why he wanted security Hinata got up saying she had to use the restroom and started looking for the first security guard.
"Well well well...look what we have here. So this is what you chose over being a sports star?" Naruto's father asked. Everyone looked at the man and then looked at Naruto.
"It is...you know your breaking your restraining order." Was all Naruto had to say. When Sasuke heard this he glared at the man.
"Last time I checked I had the right to come to a place like this." Naruto's father countered.
"True...but you don't have the right to waltz up to me like nothing was wrong." Naruto shot back.
"You listen here you little shit I'm your father and I can talk to you if I want to!" Naruto's father said. Sakura was about to say something but, Sasuke stopped her knowing that it would just cause more trouble.
"What do you want from me for Christ's sake!?" Naruto practically yelled.
"In a word...respect." Was all Naruto's father said.
"You have to earn respect before you can receive any." Naruto said coldly. Before anyone knew what had happened Naruto's father reached across the table and punched Naruto. But, this time before he could continue to hit his son Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Lee were standing right in front of Naruto...and they didn't look the least bit happy. By that time two security guards walked up to Naruto's father followed by Hinata. The only thing going through Hinata's mind was how happy she was that they got there in time for the guards to see what Naruto's father did, though she wasn't happy Naruto was hit...she was happy that his father was going to get punished.
"Sir we're going to have to ask you to come with us please." The first security guard said.
"Fine!" Naruto's father said as he walked off with the guards.
When everyone made sure that Naruto was all right they helped him to his feet and led him outside, away from all the stares.
"I guess I have some explaining to do..." Naruto said in a sad tone.
"Nah...we get the picture. There's no need for you to give us the details." Kiba said. Everyone else just nodded. When Naruto finally regained his composure he turned to face Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Neji.
"I finally made my decision on weather I'm going to join you guys or not." Naruto said. "And my answer is..."
