Bump, Set, Spike, Konoha Rendon!

Chapter Five

Thursday, 8:45 AM

"Yo Shika! Chouji!" Naruto plopped down into a seat behind Chouji.

"Yo." Shikamaru was seated beside Chouji and across from Naruto. Chouji waved since his mouth was full with chips.

"How's it going with you guys?" Naruto asked.

"Awesome!" Chouji did a thumbs up.

"Hn." Shikamaru was to lazy to answer.

Chouji chuckled a bit and Naruto sighed.

"Oi Shikamaru, will you join the volley-ball team?" Naruto rushed the question into their conversation.

"Hmph. As if. I'm already in the Go club."

"Nani? I thought you would be in the Shogi club." The blonde got distracted.

"...So troublesome.." Shikamaru muttered, "I couldn't, there was to much people already..."

"Actually he said it would be "to troublesome" to go to tryouts." Chouji corrected him. Shikamaru shot a lazy glare at him.

"How about you Chouji? Will you join?" Chouji shook his head and grinned.

"I'm on the basketball team!" Chouji said proudly.

"How did YOU get on the basketball team?" Naruto asked

"Why wouldn't I?"

" 'Cause you're a fata-"

"Ok Class! Sorry I'm late again, you see in the teachers lounge, I spilled coffee on my tie..." Kakashi-sensei explained.

"DON'T LIE!" The classed yelled in unison.

Kakashi-sensei chuckled and tryed protesting that it was the truth.

Thursday, Lunchtime

Naruto sat alone, at a table around the back of the large cafeteria, to scout out anyone who he thought, would join the volleyball team. He scanned through the tables.

'Already ask him...and him. I accidently asked her...that third year said volleyball's for pussies, that bastard.' He thought to himself. He turned his head to look through more tables only to have his view blocked by a certain ebony eyed teen. Sasuke didn't look up at Naruto but continued to stare down at his food while he ate. Naruto frowned.

"What are you doing here?" The blued eyed teen asked.

"It's either here, or over there with them." Sasuke pointed with his thumb over his shoulder. Naruto followed the direction of his finger to find a table full of Sasuke's fangirls giggling and swooning over him. He opened his mouth to say something but a soft noogie on his head interrupted him. Sasuke looked up and Naruto turned slightly so he could look up too. A grinning third year stared down at him.

"Ah! Idate-sempai!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Yo, Naruto. I was wondering, when's practice?"

"Euh...eto..." Naruto scratched his head.

'That idiot forgot already!" Sasuke rolled his eyes. 'Heh heh...did he really forget?...' Idate scratched his head also.

"It's tomorrow after school!" Naruto remembered.

"Oh okay, that's great. I already quit the track team so, I'm ready to play volleyball!" Idate grinned once more. Naruto grinned back.

"Er...Idate-sempai, can you try asking some of your friends if they want to join?"

"Gomen ne," Idate's grin faded and a look of slight fustration replaced it, "I tried and failed. Most people laughed at me and couldn't believe I was giving up track for volleyball."

Naruto's eyes widened, "Is the sport really that hated here?"

Idate ran a hand through his hair, "Mostly with the guys, the girls always have a team every year." Naruto turned back to his food and stared at it in deep thought.

"Well I gotta run, see ya both tomorrow." Idate waved and left.

Soon after that, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Chouji joined them.

"Kiba! I totally missed you!" Naruto exclaimed

"Er...ok..." Kiba looked at him wierdly.

"No! I mean, I missed asking you if you wanted to join volleyball!"

"Sure I'll join." Kiba stated simply

"Reeeh! Really! Aren't you in any other club?"

"No, I was sick for the first couple of days. I was gonna join tennis yesterday but, I forgot. So volleyball sounds good. It's one more thing I can beat you in." Kiba narrowed his eyes at Naruto and smirked. Naruto glared at him.

"How about you two?" Sasuke asked Chouji and Shikamaru.

Yadda was Shikamaru's reply. Chouji simply shook his head no.

"That's too bad, we need two more players." Sasuke said with a hint of disapointment in his voice.

A/N: sorry for the delay, it's summer vacation now so I'm busy with other stuff. Yeh chapter is short I know. I'm kinda running out of ideas. I guess I forgot what I wanted to do with this fanfic. Don't worry, a few more bangs against the wall and my ideas will come back.

So for now, R/R onegai!
