Chapter Five
A/N: Aoki: I was gonna ask Anoki to write this chapter, but finally, grad is over, and I finally have time before I head off to camp. Anyway, I'm making this a really cool chapter for all three of our new reviewers! Oh my god. (Squee) Three. It's amazing. All in one weekend. This is also dedicated to all those AMV's that give me inspiration. The latest were amvs about Naruto's dirty little secret, Sakura as the girl next door, Ritsu is more than Useless, Dare you to Move, so on and there are many more. Also my new found love of my little internet brother, Nathan Ketner ((Gaia online. I ish Tsubasa Reservoir)) and avi art, and xxxholic theme song. XD So much dedication...
Anoki: PLEASE DON'T GO OFF TO CAMP! IT'S THREE WEEKS!
Aoki: Aw Jesus Ch- (Fan people taking out pitchforks) You just HAD to scream that out, didn't you? Okay, dip me in chocolate and throw me at 'em. If that doesn't work, I have the power of Sasuke on my side.
Sky skipped alongside Naruto and Sachi happily, looking at everything in excitement. "These things are so much fun! Look at all the otakus, dressed up in kimonos and yukatas! We look like we're actually from Japan!"
"Now, if only you didn't have blue hair…" Sachi said teasingly, poking Sky in the ribs.
"And you didn't have green eyes…" Sky retorted, kicking her in the shin. Sachi winced, but didn't do anything, causing Sky to pout and cross her arms stubbornly.
The three walked around the festival, looking at the sights of it all. Booths were everywhere, and people that loved Japanese culture and had come wore beautiful kimonos and yukatas, their hair in intricate designs for the women, the men had their hair in their normal fashion.
Sachi sighed, stretching her arms up and looking over the heads of the people in the crowed, being the tallest girl…Person in there. She sighed, scratching the back of her head when she saw a stage set up, and someone talking.
"What's that?" She asked, pointing to the stage.
"Something that isn't starting for another hour." Naruto said, pushing the interested Sky and the confused Sachi away for the stage, pushing them towards a booth where they could win an overstuffed teddy bear.
"OH I WANT IT!" Sky said, pointing to the large stuffy. Naruto smirked, pushing up his yukata sleeves to get ready and win it for the girl, but Sachi just slapped her money on the counter, took the balls that the had giving her, and with the precision of a pitcher in baseball, which she was, threw it hard at the milk bottles. Not only did she knock down the damned glued together things; she completely smashed them into hundreds of itty bitty pieces.
"The teddy bear, if you would so kind." Sachi said, smirking at the astonished faces of the owners, who just handed it to her, while the woman was cleaning up the glass. She handed it to Sky, and sighed, stretching her arms again, walking away. "Cheap bastards."
"Such a dirty mouth for a lovely lady," a voice said behind them, and Sachi turned her head around to raise an eyebrow at whoever spoke to her. Her eyes widened, and she squealed in delight, glomping whoever it was.
"IRUKA-DADDY!" She said happily, smothering him with her hug. "I haven't seen you since yesterday! Why haven't you visiting me? Have you been talking to that Hatake Kakashi again? Iruka-Daddy, what have I TOLD you about him? HE'S A PERVERT! A GOOD FOR NOTHING PERVERT THAT NEEDS A LIFE!"
"Like you're one to talk, Sachi." Sky muttered, hugging her teddy bear while Naruto was still shocked at the fact that she SHATTERED the milk bottles, while, in all his life of trying to knock down the things, he's only knocked them down. WAS SACHI MORE MANLY THAN THE SEXY HIM? My Lord! It can't be! Quickly pulling out a mirror, he checked himself out, and then sighed in relief. Good. He was still goddamn sexy.
"Oh, Naruto, suck it up! Just because I have the best pitching arm in the province, doesn't mean you have to go 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall' on us." Sachi said, letting her surrogate father breathe in deep breaths. She then sighed, and crossed her arms, eyes narrowing. "Where is silver-head anyhow? I wanna pound his face in."
"No, no, no!" Sky said, waving around frantically. "DON'T DO THAT! That's just MEAN to the English teacher!"
"You care?"
"Right now, yeah, I kinda do."
"….Fuck damn." Sachi then sighed, and closed her eyes. "What's next?"
Sky looked up from her adorable plushie and through the crowd to see a tall, silver haired man. Gasping, Naruto and Sachi looked up to see the azure haired girl making her way through the crowd.
"Be right back!" She called over her shoulder, disappearing into the crowd.
"Oh no! Miss. Sky! Don't leave the group!" Iruka called, holding his hand out, but failing miserably on retrieving her. "We're not gonna find her, are we?"
"Nope..." Sachi sighed.
"Dammit." Naruto added.
Sasuke saw many blonde shocks of hair in the crowd, but none that he really knew. He did, however, see many other, annoyances, that he really didn't want to deal with at the moment.
"Sasuke-kun!"
His fan club, for instance.
Sasuke started to quickly make his way through the crowd as his fan club bulldozed through everyone. Did they even care they probably just broke that old lady's ribs? He continued as fast as he could, making his way towards the edge of the festival. He sped up just in case they were still on his tail, shutting his eyes and keeping crouched until he suddenly crashed into something.
Sasuke looked up and noticed he had accidentally crashed into a girl's chest. This was followed by an awkward silence as they stared at each other, but Sasuke failing to remove his face from her bust.
He finally registered the incident into his short-circuiting brain, and lifted himself up quickly.
"Uh... Sorry..." He apologized quickly. "I-uh- usually don't... Um..."
"Oh no worries!" She smiled brightly, just waving her hand in forgiveness. "That seems to be a re-occurring oddity now. I was jut looking for someone, but it wasn't him."
Sasuke pulled himself to his full height to see he was actually almost a head taller. What was really odd about the situation was that she really had no chest at all to crash into anyways. She was fairly flat-chested.
"Uh, well, how can I make it up to you?" He asked quietly, lightly thinking to himself. 'And how can I ever regain my dignity?'
"Um... I need to get to the prize booths. I accidentally ditched a few friends there, but I'm a little lost I think."
Sasuke blinked. He had just passed the prize booths, and this girl couldn't even find them? She seemed a bit dense to him. Especially since, from the look of the big bear in her hands, she had just come from there, but then again, he did owe her...
"It's over there, past the stage, and beside the food court." He said simply, watching the girl pass him. "What? Wait a second!"
The girl was dragging him by the wrist with her over to stage five. He hadn't even relized in until he accidentally tripped over himself and stumbled.
"I want you to meet my friends. If that's okay with you... Okay, lets go!"
She didn't even give him a chance to reply before they got to the prize booths. There, Sasuke noticed, was the man he had been looking for all night.
"Naruto-kun!" The girl smiled, running over to him and tackle hugging Naruto.
"Hey! We thought we lost you fora second!" Naruto grinned, looking up from her. "And what's this? My little Angel has found our little Emo? Aww, good girl!" Naruto cooed and complimented the girl like a dog before she blinked, let go of Naruto, and pointed at Sasuke.
'So this is Naruto's little Angel?'Sasuke thought to himself, a twitch of jealousy raining through him. Sasuke felt slightly nicer around the girl Suddenly, he had an urge to-
"Naruto, is this that dick-head you wanted me to meet?"
-rip her little wings off.
The second part of the festival was probably the most annoying experience he had ever had in his ENTIRE life. The girl he finally found out was named Sky, kept stalking him with a video camera, and Sasuke eventually lost all dignity when her giant friend, Sachi, tripped over he slightly drunk self and ripped his yukata. He had no choice but to wear the duck one. He thought all was lost when Sky got shots of him in the HORRIBLY embarrassing yukata he had only agreed to wear when Naruto said he would run around the campus with his underwear, well, not only on his downstairs, but on his head, with the words:
SASUKE IS SO COOL!
Written on his stomach in black permanent marker.
Jesus Christ, not to be discriminating against Christians, but, this was gonna be a LONG night.
"And, ladies and gents! Time for our magic show! Where we pick a member from the audience that had pre-registered at the beginning of the festival, seeing as our original show girl didn't show up tonight..." He coughed out a name that sounded like 'Shina', and Naruto, Sachi and Sky just blinked while the rest of the crowd laughed like it was funny. Corny bastard. "Anyways, lets see here..."
A stage hand brought out a large, closed steel wire ball filled with little paper names. The magician 'poofed' ((Meaning in A/N at the end)) out a name with his wand, and suddenly, Naruto grinned as a girl suddenly disappeared from beside him and right over the stage. She fell a few feet, then suddenly landed perfectly beside the magician. For a few seconds, she looked dazed, quite confused about what was happening, then suddenly, the magician pulled a micro phone out of his hat.
"May I ask your name, our lovely new contestant?" He asked curtly.
"Uh-Um...Eh... Oh, it's Sky."
It took about half an hour, but after all the papers were signed, Sky was dressed up, the large act was ready to begin.
"Now!" The magician grinned. "We will put Sky in a glass coffin, inside a HUGE glass case, and fill in full of dirt. Then, I will magically pull her out to safety!" The crowd started muttering as Sky walked onto the stage. She was in a lime green frilly short skirt, magenta pink spaghetti strap shirt, hair dolled up like a j-pop artist. "Did I mention there are about 80 tarantulas in the small, glass case with her? But no worries, you can see everything. A camra in the coffin provides a look into this magic trick."
The crowd started going mad as the brave, blue-haired girl stepped into the case. Lowered into the HUGE ASS glass case that took up the whole back stage and half the front stage, a helicopter and a few dump trucks filled the large case with dirt. The screan poppped on, and Sky layed on her back in her small, confining space, waving happily at the camara.
"So, Sky-chan, how are you doing?"
"Totally fine!" She chimmed. "Just wanna say, heya Naruto. Hey Sachi! Look at me! I'm gonna die before I even turn nineteen!"
The crowd cheered and laughed for her high-spirits, and many men whisled. Sachi and Naruto just glared at them, and the fan-men instantly stopped.
"Okay! Your coming out!" He grinned, waving his wand in the air. Suddenly, another 'poof' filled the coffin, but Sky hadn't come out. Another stage hand dashed onto the stage and whisprered something into the entertaines ear, and he instantly froze.
"Uh... Hello? I don't think it worked this time. Although, I think there was a sudden increase of poisonous spiders in here." Sky grinned, watching a spider crawl over the camara.
Sasuke started to get an odd feeling in his gut, and he turned to Naruto. "This is all part of the show, right?" He asked nervously.
"Yep! It should be!" Naruto said it in the happiest tone he could muster, but Sasuke knew he was nervous. A sudden CRACK rang through the microphone in the coffin, and the magician turned around. Naruto's fear was suddenly relized as a very nervous, but still somewhat happy Sky tswated a few spiders off the camara to reveal that dirt from OUTSIDE the coffin was slowly seeping and clumping in. She turned the camara to show a large, thincrack running in the middle of the coffin from one end to the other with dirt creeping onto the spiders and Sky.
"Um... I don't remeber this being a part of the act. Can I PLEASE get out. I REALLY don't like this anymore."
And thats when Naruto and Sachi cracked.
"SKY!"
