Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Bad Kakashi!
"Moon…………..I uh…………….." Naruto stuttered his lines as Sasuke watched him with a small hint of annoyance.
"Naruto! I thought you said you knew your lines!" Shikamaru sighed as he walked on the stage.
"I do!" Naruto growled before he looked over at Sasuke. "It's just that I don't get why the Sun falls for the Moon. I mean the Moon can't talk and for the most part is an emotionless jerk."
Shikamaru sighed before he walked over to the blond.
"Will you do all of the scenes without a problem if I tell you?" Shikamaru glared at Naruto till the blond nodded. "Good, okay the Sun falls for the Moon because it is true love."
Naruto looked confused.
"Love I guess isn't something that makes sense, it just happens. The Sun had been rejected his whole life and was terribly lonely while the Moon lost everything because of his pride. In the end the fact that they learned to trust each other brought them together. It was the first time for either of them to have a friend whether it was by luck or because it was forced upon. The Sun falls for the Moon not because it was beautiful but because of who it was."
"But the Moon couldn't talk so how could he know for sure?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at Shikamaru.
"Because……………………because the Sun knew." Shikamaru smiled at Naruto. "Because you don't have to be able to talk to show people your heart."
"C'mon dobe, lets get this over with." Sasuke fixed his flute real quick before he glanced at Naruto.
"Moon, I was wondering if you could play me a song." Naruto smiled as he walked over to Sasuke. "Can you play me a love song?"
"Hey Iruka!" Kakashi walked into the empty classroom and smiled at the chunin.
"Hey Kakashi!" Iruka smiled as he gathered the papers on his desk. "How is the play going?"
"Actually I have no clue." Kakashi laughed as Iruka looked at him confused.
"Shikamaru got really mad at me and kicked me out of the auditorium." Kakashi sighed as he remembered the face of the shadow boy when he walked into the auditorium.
"Well if Shikamaru has it then I guess I have nothing to worry about." Iruka laughed.
"What do you mean by that?" Kakashi gave Iruka a bored glare.
"I mean I was worried but Shikamaru has a good rep when it comes to taking command." Iruka patted Kakashi on the back. "Not that I'm saying you have a bad rep or anything."
"I don't know if I should be insulted by that Iruka." Kakashi put his hand over his chest as if Iruka had actually hurt him. "And I thought you were my friend."
"You know what they say Kakashi! Keep you friends close and your enemies closer." Iruka laughed as he walked out of his classroom with the jounin walking beside him.
"I never knew you could be so cold." Kakashi teased.
"Well there are a lot of things you don't know about me." Iruka laughed but then stopped and blushed as if he had just said something without thinking.
"Is that so?" Kakashi looked Iruka interested causing the chunin to blush even more before he turned around.
"I'll see you later Kakashi, tomorrow at the show that is!" And with that Iruka disappeared down the hallway. Kakashi just smirked under his mask before he headed off on his own way.
"Okay for the kiss scene Ino will use Henge no jutsus to change into a Naruto look alike. Anyone got any problems with that?" Shikamaru looked over the group to see no one was going to say anything and continued; "Now the question is what type of kiss?"
The room fell silent as Sasuke grunted.
"I vote we make out!" Ino blushed but then lowered her hand when Shikamaru growled at her.
"I don't see why Ino gets to do it………………….." Sakura muttered glaring at her rival.
"Because you're dating Green Beast over there that's why, and Hinata kept stuttering when we asked her, and because TenTen drew the short straw." Ino smiled brightly at her victory ignoring the very annoyed look coming from Shikamaru.
"I don't like be treated like some prize." Sasuke glared at all the girls. "And I am not 'making out' with anyone on stage. Got that!"
"Well now that that is settled………………….lets practice." Shikamaru sat back I his chair as all the actors approached the stage. "Remember Ino you're the one who initiates the kiss so don't get to excited and forget your lines."
"I won't Shika-darling!" Ino waved at the shadow boy before she transformed into Naruto. "Whoa! I'm short."
"I'm not short!" Naruto yelled from back stage.
"Naruto we aren't supposed to hear you!" Shikamaru yelled causing the muffled curses to stop.
Sasuke sat on a rock that Choji had brought in and pulled the flute to his lips and began his melody. The lights on the stage kept changing until Shino finally decided on the one he like for the scene, being in charge of all special effects Shino made sure he did his job.
Ino came onto stage and listened to the small tune with a blush on her cheeks. She really looked like Naruto so she was trying her best to walk like the blond boy.
"Moon?" Ino poke softly getting Sasuke's attention, "Why is your song so sad?"
Sasuke played three notes on his flute as if he was talking and then stopped.
"Moon can I………………..Moon I think I need to tell you something." Ino (now Naruto) stood beside the sitting dark haired boy who looked at her then pulled the flute to his lips.
Ino knelt down beside Sasuke and smiled sweetly as she gently pushed the flute away from Sasuke's face.
"I……………love you." Ino blushed madly before she stared laughing. "I LOVE YOU SASUKE-KUN! I want your body!"
"Ino what are you………….." Sasuke was cut off as Ino kissed him still in Naruto's form.
"Cut! Stop!" Shikamaru threw his script down and jumped on the stage to pry Ino off the shocked and very angry Sasuke.
"Hey Asuma!" Iruka walked into the nearly packed auditorium and approached the jounin teachers standing with Asuma.
"Hey Iruka! So how do you think the play is going to go?" Asuma started to light a cigarette until Kurenai pointed to a 'no smoking on school property' sign.
"I don't know but I'm sure the students will enjoy it." Iruka smiled until he felt someone grab his shoulder to spin him around.
"Hey Iruka!" Kakashi curved his eye as Iruka blushed a bit but then returned the smile.
"Hey Kakashi…………………….where are you sitting?" Iruka looked at all the seats to see nearly all of them were filled with students at the school.
"I will probably go help back stage, you know encourage them a bit." Kakashi grinned evilly under his mask. "I don't think they want any surprises this afternoon."
"Well that's nice of you Kakashi." Iruka smiled.
"Is that Gai?" Kurenai pointed to Gai who was walking in with a t-shirt containing pictures of his team all over it.
"HEY GUYS!" Gai waved as he ran over with a huge grin. "I can't wait to see all our students actually getting along long enough to perform this play!"
"I just want to see Shikamaru do something for once in his life." Asuma muttered as all the lights went dim making all the teachers move to the back wall where they could lean against it for the play since all the seats were taken.
The whole room was silent minus a few murmurs from the audience until the curtains opened revealing Shikamaru dressed up in a formal outfit. Shikamaru looked at the audience and sighed lazily before he began his narration.
"Welcome to show the future of Konoha, our students and teachers, this story is a myth, a legend. It isn't a story of the battle ground, nor is it of ninja, but it is a story of the greatest force in the world, that is love………………………"
"Whoa! Shikamaru is getting into this, and to think he memorized all of these lines in a week." Iruka whispered to Asuma who just nodded in agreement.
"But you cannot begin a story without giving you background, and this is where we come to scene one." Shikamaru waited for the lights to dim as he disappeared while Kiba and Hinata ran onto the stage.
Iruka wanted to cry as he saw the play preformed. He had loved this legend ever since his parents took him to see the play when he was little and now he was able to show all the students it. He looked to his side so that he could thank Kakashi but saw that the jounin was gone. Iruka sighed with a smile as he returned his attention to the play.
"Hey Naruto." Kakashi chirped in the backstage room as he surprised the blond. "You are doing really good I'm surprised you remembered all your lines."
"Kakashi-sensei? I thought Shikamaru said he would kill you if you came back here……………………..oh well." Naruto shrugged it off as he watched the stage with an impatient look.
"Isn't this your scene?" Kakashi asked grinning under his mask, his plan was going good so far. He had already locked Ino in the bathroom.
"No this is the kiss scene." Naruto blushed lightly.
"Oh but then why did Shikamaru tell me to get you?" Kakashi gave a bored yawn as Naruto looked at him in horror.
"You mean it's my scene already! Oh my gosh!" Naruto bounded up running up the steps not noticing how Kakashi started laughing when he left the room.
As Naruto ran up the stairs he saw Shikamaru glaring at him.
"Ino hurry!" Shikamaru pushed Naruto past the curtains.
"Ino? No wait I'm Naru……………" Naruto stopped as the spotlight landed on him. He saw Sasuke playing his flute and walked on the stage.
'What scene is this? I don't remembering practicing this scene? Why is Sasuke so stiff all of the sudden and why is he playing the music to the………………………oh crap!' Naruto thought as he finally caught on to what was happening.
He was in the kiss scene!
Sasuke stopped playing his flute and glared at Naruto.
"Ino what is your problem? Your line is 'Moon, why is your song so sad?' !" Shikamaru barked barely loud enough for Naruto behind the curtain.
Naruto paused as he looked at the audience then at Sasuke who had started to play the song again.
"Moon………….uh why is your song so sad?" Naruto stumbled out as he approached Sasuke.
Sasuke finally stopped playing and looked at Naruto. He was about to play his three notes when he noticed something. He paused squinted his eyes and the looked at Naruto confused before he played the three notes. Sasuke saw Naruto……………..not Ino as Naruto……………….he saw the real Naruto!
Naruto took a breath. He could do this he could do this! He smiled trying to get into character, he only had to kiss Sasuke, that was it……………………….Naruto felt like he was going to faint.
"Moon I………….I……………" Naruto was now blushing madly; he was about to take a step forward when he tripped on his costume.
Sasuke moved quickly to catch the falling blond as they both closed their eyes. Neither of the moved until Sasuke opened his eyes to see Naruto was………………..and he was…………………..they were kissing………………..Naruto opened his eyes blushing madly tried to move away but tripped again this time deepening the kiss.
Sasuke subconsciously slid his tongue in Naruto's mouth as they kissed. Both boys were blushing madly when they realized what they were doing and pulled apart panting.
"Moon, I love you…………" Naruto spoke softly but loud enough for the audience to hear out of practice.
The lights went dim and everyone heard footsteps that sound like running and muffled curses until the lights went up to show Lee holding a sign saying 'half time'.
"Okay everyone! Time for intermission!" Lee chirped trying to ignore more cursing coming out from behind the curtain.
"What………………..was that really……………….did that really just happen?" Iruka had a small blush on his cheeks as he turned over to the jounin teachers who looked shocked.
"I thought Ino was supposed to kiss Sasuke…………………..not Naruto………" Asuma mumbled before he broke out into a muffled laughter, as he had to put his hand over his mouth.
"Hey Moon! Good Morning!" Sun smiled as the dark angel opened his eyes.
Moon grabbed his flute and played a very high note in annoyance glaring at Sun before he smirked. Sun blushed at this and looked at the ground, leaving Moon confused.
Moon stood up and walked over to Sun lifting the bright demon's chin so that they were facing each other. Moon was surprised to see Sun was trying to hold back tears. Moon looked over to where his flute was a few meters away and gave up on trying to get it to communicate with Sun.
Moon started to rub the tears starting to fall down Sun's cheek with his thumbs.
"Moon…………………..I just found out something……………………and I'm afraid I have to leave because…………………………what I want I can't have." Sun back away from Moon trying to push back the tears.
Moon just gave Sun a confused look before he grabbed Sun's hand. Sun couldn't leave him………………………….for the first time in his life he actually cared for someone and now that person was going to leave him. Why?
"I have to leave because……………………………I've fallen in love with an angel." Sun smiled at Moon before he continued. "I am a demon whether half or full blooded I am a demon and to be in love with an angel………………………..it is forbidden."
Moon let go of Sun's hand as the light demon sighed with a smile.
"I really do love you though, you were the first person to acknowledge me and I finally had a friend……………………………I'm sorry………………" Sun was about to turn around when Moon grabbed him and pulled him into a frantic kiss.
Moon wouldn't let Sun leave he couldn't leave him. So what if it was forbidden! The dark angel had already done so much worse and now he could do it again……………but this time it would be for someone other than himself.
"Moon……………….I don't understand………………" Sun whispered as Moon held him closer. "We can't………………..I……………." Sun was cut off by another kiss.
They stayed like that for a while, Sun being held in Moon's arms tightly. Sun not talking and just holding while Moon wished he could talk but held on even tighter afraid that Sun would leave him if he let go.
"Moon?" Sun finally broke the silence as Moon replied by nuzzling his face into Sun's neck. "We can stay here, and no one will bother us."
Sun smiled at Moon.
"Can you play me a song?"
"Kakashi!" Naruto ran down the down the stage steps to the room behind the stage. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME?"
Naruto stopped when he found Shikamaru yelling at the jounin who was tied up like a cow on the ground.
"Hey Naruto! Enjoy that scene didn't ya?" Kakashi laughed before Shikamaru blew up and started to beat the jounin.
Naruto's face went beet red before he grabbed his chest. That wasn't supposed to happen! He just made a fool of himself in front of the school and Iruka! Naruto heard Sasuke running down the steps and ran into the changing room locking the door.
"Naruto! Why were you?" Sasuke stopped when he saw Kakashi and Shikamaru.
"Sasuke-kun!" Ino ran over to the dark haired boy. "Kakashi locked me in the restroom and then tricked Naruto to go on stage! It's so unfair! I wanted to kiss you!" Ino broke into tears before she joined Shikamaru in beating Kakashi.
"Huh?' Sasuke didn't quite grasp what she meant when he heard Lee announce intermission.
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata tapped on the locked door. "Are you okay?"
"Hinata?" Naruto whispered back. "Goodbye my friend………………..you were always so nice to me and I thank you."
Hinata heard some noises and gasped turning around to the room.
"I think Naruto killed himself!" She cried as Sasuke broke the door down to show Naruto hanging from the ceiling squirming in the rope around his neck.
"Dobe what are you doing?" Sasuke smirked as Naruto's face turned purple from lack of air until he heard Hinata cry again so he threw a kunai to cut the rope.
Naruto landed on the ground with a dull thud as he gasped for air.
"Naruto why would you do that?" Hinata had tears rolling down her face as she went to go make sure he was okay.
"It didn't work!" Naruto pouted before he saw Sasuke and blushed but turned his head the other way. "I'm fine Hinata-chan you can go now."
"AND IF I EVER SEE YOU BACK HERE AGAIN I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU KAKASHI!" Everyone turned to see Shikamaru throw Kakashi out of the stage room before he glared at everyone. "Okay we still have to do the end!"
"Guys you need to get out here Lee started to sing!" TenTen ran to them from the stage as she tried to smile. "And he isn't very good at karaoke."
"I'm on my way." Shikamaru sighed before he glared at everyone. "Ino stop crying it was just a kiss scene and I think Naruto is more scarred by this than you, Sasuke and Naruto I do not want to know! So get over it and get ready for your scenes!" Shikamaru left grumbling as everyone just nodded their heads to avoid any trouble.
Iruka sighed when he saw Kakashi walk up with a big bump on his head. The jounin laughed as all of the other teachers glared at him.
"So you're the one who was responsible." Asuma laughed with Kakashi. "Naruto looked like he was going to die!"
"I can't believe you would do that!" Iruka got mad at the fact that Kakashi was picking on Naruto. "Don't you have any shame as his sensei?"
"Uh…………….." Kakashi realized this wasn't the way he wanted this to go; you couldn't ask someone out when they were mad at you. "Don't worry he took it fine! You could go see him in the back but the play is about to start again."
Iruka sighed before Lee walked off the stage and the lights dimmed once again. It looked like the end of the play was about to start………………………Iruka could check on Naruto later.
"There came a time every hundred years or so when ever all the realms would connect for three days, in this time the realm of heaven, the mortals, the demon's haven, and the realm of the in between would connect. As this time came near the Moon finally saw his chance to leave the land he had been cursed to and to his surprise it was a lot harder than he thought."
Sasuke was on stage and seemed to be plotting something, he stood up about to leave in a quick haste when he stopped and turned around. Naruto laid on the stage as if he was admiring the sky, not really paying attention to what his lover was brooding over. Sasuke acted as if torn between leaving or going to Naruto's side before he he settled for the latter.
"The Sun had left to the mortal realm to just see what was going on in the world when all the realms opened. The Moon was tempted by the taste of the power he could regain and he left but not after leaving something behind to his lover."
"Moon! I'm back!" Naruto yelled with a big grin on his face as he ran across the stage. "You wouldn't believe what I heard!"
Naruto looked around and didn't see Sasuke to any avail. While he looked around he felt his heart sink. Even if this was a play the fact that there was a chance some people actually go through this pained him.
"Moon-koi?" Naruto walked up to a flute that was left on the ground with a flower wrapped around it.
Naruto clenched his fists as he grabbed the flute and stared at the ground before he looked up.
"I see……………….." He whispered before he fell on his knees and started to tremble as the stage went black.
