Dark Chalice: I'm SO sorry, I've been slacking off on this site for so long, but now I'm not! I even started a new story; The REAL Story of Pokemon. Check it out if you're interested and I'll..uh...give you some of my crackers! Looks over at empty bowl Or maybe not...Oh Well! Enjoy this chapter! (That's longer than the rest! YAY! )

Chapter 3:The Curse

Naruto bent into his famous stance,(you know, the one that makes him look kinda constipated?lol) and prepared for battle. The old hag smirked and started chanting.

White and fluffy,

Covered in fur,

Cooler than Buffy (the vampire slayer)

A running blur,

Send some bunnies,

TO HAUNT THIS INSOLENT CUR!

(I know that sucked, but I'm writing this as I go, so cut me some slack please.)

"Huh?" Naruto breathed. The old woman made a weird gesture with her right hand and Naruto winced. Nothing happened. "HAH! LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ALL TALK!" Naruto shouted. "Humph. Shut it, Blondie!" She huffed. "No, YOU!"

"Baby Boy!"

"I bet you fart dust!"

"Spike Head!"

"Boney Butt!"

"Loud Mouth!"

"FISH MOLESTER!"

"Gasp You...take...that BACK!"

"You make love to Moby Dick!"

"I do NOT!"

"You get turned on when you see fish sticks!"

The old crone had had about ENOUGH of this, so she pulled a sweat sock out of her pocket. Naruto gasped. "You wouldn't!" She smirked again. " I would." Naruto passed out to the smell of hamloaf crossed with body odor.

Elsewhere...

It's alright, It's alright

Cause the system never fails,

the good guys are in power and the bad guys are in jail.

Sakura was listening to the radio while brushing her hair. Today she was planning on asking Sasuke out again. So he rejected her a few times. So what! Quitters never win! (About the couples, I'll be doing alternate endings for almost every Naruto? I can think of. Depending on who Naruto is with, everyone else will be with someone different almost every time.)

It's alright, it's alright

Just as long as we can vote

We live in a Democracy

And that's what we promote

Isn't it? Isn't it?

"Maybe I should invite him on a walk? Or maybe out to Lunch?" Sakura murmured to herself. Her brow furrowed in frustration. If she didn't succeed with Sasuke, who else was there? Naruto and Lee flashed in her mind. "Definitely NOT Naruto." She grumbled. "Maybe Lee..." She shook her head furiously. "No! You love Sasuke! SASUKE! And you can't lose, not only because your love life is at stake, but you CAN'T lose to Ino!"

It's alright, It's alright

If the news says half the truth

Hearing what we want is the secret to eternal youth

It's alright, It's alright

If the planet splits in three

Cause I'll keep selling records and you've got your MTV

If we forget about them don't worry

If they forget about us then hurry

How about a people who don't matter anymore?

If we forget about them don't worry

If they forget about us then hurry

How about a people that don't matter anymore?

East Timor. Timor. Timor.

Sakura sighed. It was times like this that she wished she had bought that girl magazine when she had the chance...

FLASHBACK

Sakura stepped eagerly into the store.The bell tinkled a little song signifying her presence. Her mission: Find the best quality box of chocolates at the lowest price. After all, Chocolate was a woman's best friend. Who needs diamonds! She bent down close to the candy counter. Something caught her attention in the corner of her eye. She turned her head in the direction of the magazine wrack. A hot-pink cover stood out amongst the rest.

She walked over; unsure. "LAND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE IN 1 WEEK OR LESS! " was printed along the top in red bubble letters. Anxiety coursed through her body. Reaching out shakily, she lightly skimmed the glossy surface, when the bell chimed. Sakura's head whipped to the door. There stood Ino. Ino noticed Sakura immediately. "That's sad, Sakura. relying on magazines to try and win Sasuke? I knew you were pathetic, but this..." She then started to laugh.

Sakura's eyes narrowed and she shifted to an upright position. "No, just looking." And with that, she strode out of the store, pushing Ino out of the way as she passed.

It's alright, It's alright

They don't show it all on TV

So we can't really know it

Just by watching BC

It's alright, it's alright

For our flag, we die or kill

As long as we don't know

We'd do it just to pay their bills

Let's keep tanning while it's sunny

They'll risk their hides to make their money

Now don't you find that funny

If we forget about them don't worry

If they forget about us then hurry

How about a people who don't matter anymore?

If we forget about them don't worry

If they forget about us then hurry

How about a people that don't matter anymore?

East Timor. Timor. Timor.

"I wish everything was alright." Sakura whispered and glanced at her reflection. It was now or never. Sakura gulped and left the room; searching for Sasuke.

Dark Chalice: What do you think? Definitely ALOT longer. Please review! You won't get a cracker, but it'll make me happy!
