Disclaimer: Hehe, I've been forgeting these, so for future reference, I DO NOT OWN NARUTO, AND I NEVER WILL! Oh yeah, and I do not own any of the songs in this chapter either!

Chapter 9: Shopping's A Girl's Sport!

Shikamaru parked the car and the guys got out. "So, like, are we required to go to the dance?" Naruto asked impatiently. He was mad because Shikamaru wouldn't stop for Ramen.

"It's go, or don't go and hope you live to see the next day" Sasuke replied annoyed.

"Aww, but Hinata-chan's not like that!" Naruto whined.

"He doesn't mean Hinata" Shikamaru retorted. "It's Ino and Tenten you'd have to worry about".

"Oh... Hehe, I guess your right" Naruto replied.

"HEY! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Neji shouted angrily.

"He means that Tenten, Ino, and Sakura are likely to kill him if he doesn't go" Sasuke replied cooly. "Will you to drop it? Naruto, you're going to that dance, and Neji, we're in a parking lot, control yourself!".

Shikamaru, Neji, and Naruto sweatdropped. "How troublesome..." Shikamaru commmented lazily.


"'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side." Ino and Sakura finished off the song.

"Wow, you guys are really good" Hinata said shyly.

"Why don't you and Tenten join in on the next song?" Ino said, putting in a new CD.

"I'm not much of a singer..." Tenten trailed off.

"Aww, come on! There's no one here to judge you!" Ino said, somewhat dissapointed. "Just try it, okay Ten?".

"Fine! But if I screw-up the song, don't say I didn't warn you!" Tenten said, giving in to Ino.

"What about you, Hinata?" Sakura asked. "Do you wanna join in?".

"Umm...Well...Not really" Hinata admitted.

"Okay, then you just sit back and enjoy the music!" Sakura said happily.

"Oh, so you let HER easily, but not me..." Tenten mumbled.

"Oh, hush, will ya?" Ino said sharply, selecting the track number. "How about this?" . Music started playing through the speakers, and Sakura immediately recognized the song.

"I LOVE THIS SONG!" Sakura shrieked happily.

"That's what I thought!" Ino said approvingly. "Okay, get ready guys, here we go!".

With that, Tenten, Sakura, and Ino burst into song:

"Sitting here counting the hours
Waiting for the sun to kiss the sea
Paralyzed by the fragrance of the flowers
They remind me of you and me

There's one love in a lifetime
Our two hearts of a kind
These three reasons you'll be mine
For when five and six are through
Seven days without you, Seven days without you.

Making plans just to stop the aching
Chasing thoughts from a million miles away
Hypnotized as another dawn is breaking
I rehearse the words I want to say

There's one love in a lifetime
Our two hearts of a kind
These three reasons you'll be mine
For when five and six are through
Seven days without you, Seven days without you.

Well I will find a way into your heart
So let me try and sleep before we know

There's one love in a lifetime
Our two hearts of a kind
These three reasons you'll be mine
For when five and six are through
Seven days without you, Seven days without you.".

"Wow, Tenten, you have an AMAZING voice!" Sakura gushed.

"I know! Why didn't you tell us?" Ino ranted.

"You have a great voice Tenten" Hinata said shyly.

"YOU GUYS! I can only listen to one of you at a time!" Tenten said shocked at her friends responses.

"Wow, Tenten..." Sakura began.

"Why didn't you tell us you could sing like that?" Ino finished.

"Well, I've always thought that I had a terrible voice..." Tenten admitted. "And... I was also kind of self-concious singing in front of others...".

"So that's why we've never heard you sing..." Sakura said, still shocked.

"Yeah..." Tenten confessed.

"You really do have a great voice..." Hinata replied.

"Aww... you guys!" Tenten said happily.

"You should be in the guys band!" Ino said, excited about her newfound discovery.

"The guys have a band?" Tenten and Sakura said in union.

"Yeah! They didn't tell you?" Ino asked, confused.

"No!" Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata said together.

"Uhh, can you guys stop that?" Ino asked. "And yeah, they have a band called..."


"Ugh, can we go now?" Neji asked impatiently.

"HOLD ON! I JUST WANT ONE MORE BOWL!" Naruto said angrily.

"Dobe, you've already had 3..." Sasuke said annoyed.

"Sooooooo" Naruto said, acting like a spoiled 5-year-old.

"SHUT UP!" Neji screamed angrily at Naruto, throwing a nearby salt-shaker at his head (I have no idea why a salt-shaker would be at a ramen stand, but still...salt-shaker sounds better than a shaker full of ramen seasoning!)

Perfect Shot! Neji thought to himself, smirking.

"Owww!" Naruto screamed, recieveing many annoyed looks from passing shoppers (cuz this ramen stand was In the mall, near the tux shop. my story, my rules. And I say there was a ramen stand, so therefore, there IS a ramen stand, weather it makes sense or not!).

Sasuke sighed. "We have the tuxes, so I say we leave him..." Sasuke said, turning to Shikamaru.

"NONONONONONONO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!" Naruto screamed, swallowing the last bit of hs ramen.

"Alright, then let's go..." Neji said impatiently.

"Fine! But you owe me a bowl of..." Naruto said, but realized that everyone was leaving him, so he ran off to catch up with them.


(In The Guys Car, On The Way back From The Mall)

Naruto was constantly flipping the radio stations. "Pick a station, already!" Neji said, annoyed.

"What a drag..." Shikamaru commented. Naruto was still flipping the stations.

-Whack!-

"HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Naruto shouted.

"Dobe..." Sasuke said. "Pick a station, before I get mad...".

A anime stress mark appeared on Naruto's forehead. "Well, I can't help it that all of the station's here suck! Let's see you find a station!" Naruto retorted.

"Fine" Sasuke said, flipping the station once. "There" He said bluntly.

"Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem"

Sasuke nodded his head to the beat of the song.

"To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real".

Shikamaru pulled up to the resort, and took the keys out of the ignition. Everyone grabbed their bags, and went their seperate rooms.


The guys were greeted, and told to get ready (well, except for Neji, who was questioned by Tenten about what took him so long, then she COMMANDED him to get ready).

Tbc...
