Summer in the city means cleavage, cleavage, cleavage. That's a line from a Regina Spektor song, but for me, it means tons of fanfics (yes, I have no life. High school robbed me of that.) Anyway, chapter 6 coming at you.
Note: Obviously this was prewritten.
Songs- Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued by Fall Out Boy, Mr. Brightside by The Killers, Through the Glass by Stone Sour, and Candyman by Christina Aguilera (male accompaniment is not underlined but with the recent reworking of the document editors, don't even bother).

Ch.6: Winter with a Sweet Tooth
Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice ('cause we are bad news)
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose
It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."
We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
Brothers and sisters, yeah, put these words down
Into your notebook (spit lines like these)
We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet
It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."
We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
The crowd cheered as a figure onstage panted into the microphone, his arm raised in the air. He slowly lowered it and slicked back the silver hair that blocked his vision before jumping into the next song.
Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eagle eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I never
I never
I never
I never
The band walked backstage and the lead singer went to grab his water bottle when the drummer came up behind him. "Jeez, Kakashi, you nearly beat the shit out of your bass. What crawled up your ass?"
Kakashi glared at Naruto before downing part of the bottle and slamming it back on the table. "Come on, we have to finish the show," he said walking back onstage. Sasuke followed and stepped out beside him. "You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, don't worry about me, Sasuke."
"You sure? You've been pretty aggravated these past few days."
"…"
"Wanna talk about it?"
"No."
Sasuke sighed and gave a slight shrug of his shoulders. "Just don't crap out onstage."
With a grunt in response, Kakashi turned to the audience. "This song…wow, never knew it would be this hard," he laughed. "This song…it was from my old band, Yellow Flash. We hit it big. Really big, but they're all gone. I'm the only one left of the band. The anniversary of their death is coming up and I wanted to do something special for them, so here it is. I hope you guys like it."
I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head
How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget... you don't expect and easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You cant expect to bitter folks
And while your outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what your staring at is me
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head
How much is real? So much to question
And never dare make up the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(No more sad voices)
Before you tell yourself
Its just a different scene
Remember its just different from what you've seen
I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head
And its the staaars
The staaaaaaars
That shine for you
And its the staaaaars
The staaaaaars
That lie to you.. yeah-ah
I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
feels like home, sitting all alone inside your heaaaaddd
And its the staaaars
The staaaaars
That shine for you... yeah-ah
And its the staaaaars
The staaaaaaars
That lie to you.. yeah-ah
And its the staaaaars
The staaaaaars
That shine for you... yeah-ah
And its the staaaars
The staaaaarsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah yeah
Ohhhoh the staars
Ohhh oh the staaaars that liieee
'Are you guys watching? Rin? Obito? Arashi?' Kakashi wondered when he felt a sharp elbow in his side.
"Bow, idiot."
Kakashi snorted indignantly at Neji, but gave a short bow to the screaming fans. As he walked backstage, he set down his guitar.
"Hey Kakashi."
'Obito?' Kakashi looked around, finding nothing. 'I'm imagining things. Thank god it's winter break,' he thought when he noticed a faint flicker of light in front of him. Curious, he looked up to see a smiling girl, a smiling man, and a grinning teen. "Rin? Obito? Arashi?"
Obito grinned and made a thumbs-up. "Great job, Kakashi. We're proud."
"We really are," Arashi smiled. "And I see my son's doing great."
"Well, duh, Arashi. This is Kakashi we're talking about," Rin smiled.
Arashi looked at his watch. "Oh, we gotta go, kids. Big guy said we only get five minutes."
"Oh crud, and I was having fun too. Well, come on, Rin."
Rin smiled at Obito and kissed his cheek. "Okay." She turned back to the stunned Kakashi. "He's my boyfriend now. Don't worry, I forgive you for acting like a jerk all those years back, but I will say one thing."
"What?" Kakashi asked.
"I wish you well and I wish you many," she smiled. Hugging Obito, she turned to him. "Oh, and good luck with her."
And as suddenly as they came, they left. Kakashi stared incredulously at the spot where they once stood. He wondered if it was just a trick of his mind, but a breeze appeared from inside the building and blew a small white feather into his hand. He blinked at the small object in his hand as Rin's giggle carried on the wind and he had to wonder just what she meant by 'good luck with her.'
"Ah, Neji, no!" Tenten squealed as he began tickling her stomach. Neji just smiled at her and ducked his head to kiss her when Sakura said, "No making-out on the couch. I don't want to have to lose a perfectly good couch on account of a heated make-out session."
Tenten flushed as Neji glared at the girl, but sighed and withdrew his hands from her waist. Sakura nodded in satisfaction before placing the tray of tea cups on the coffee table.
It was winter break. The day before Christmas to be exact. FFG and Sharingan were at FFG's mansion for a small Christmas party. The mansion was decorated in tinsel and mistletoe while a decorated tree sat in the corner near the window.
The group sat around the living room. Shikamaru was sleeping on the couch while Temari played with his hair, Neji and Tenten (now calm) had decided to just watch the fire in the fireplace together, Sasuke and Sakura were curled up besides each other, Sakura telling Sasuke about her gift-shopping as he listened intently with a small smile on his face, Kakashi was reading his latest Icha Icha novel, Megumi was fussing with the decorations on the tree, and Naruto…
"I'm going to get you, Hinata!" a man screamed, effectively startling Shikamaru from his slumber with an undignified snort and a muttering of 'troublesome.'
The blue-haired girl looked back in alarm. "Eek! Ah, Naruto!" she screamed as she ran into the kitchen, Naruto not far behind.
"I'm right behind you, Hinata!" he shouted as he held a long peacock feather in his hand, running exactly six feet behind her. Temari sweat-dropped.
"He went into my room?"
"Naruto!" Hinata screamed as he chased her into the kitchen. She hid under the island in the kitchen. 'Oh, why did I have to be ticklish?' she thought to herself. She should have never let him go upstairs. He wanted to look at all the rooms, but when he went into Temari's room and they got to talking, he got that mischievous look in his eyes and began chasing her with a peacock feather. Kami, why did she tell him she was ticklish?
She felt something on her shoulder. It was warm and slightly damp and it was doing something really funny with her insides. She turned around to see Naruto smile.
"Boo."
"Eep!" she screamed running past him. If she could just—There! The living room! Someone would stop him. Unfortunately, Naruto grabbed her by the waist and spun her around and she landed with a small 'oof' against his chest. "Hi Hinata-chan," he smiled.
"Naruto-kun," she said, blushing slightly at their proximity. He leaned closer and gently brushed the backs of his fingers against her long neck. She couldn't help the shudder that shot through her system. She didn't know if it was because of her ticklishness or the two of them being so close, but all she knew was that he was doing strange things to her insides and it felt really nice.
Naruto watched as Hinata's face suddenly flushed darker and smiled warmly at her. He stepped back to give her room. After all, he'd teased her too much and she had been a good sport. It never failed to surprise him how dedicated Hinata was to him and that thought made his heart thump just a little louder in his ears. When he looked, he blinked in surprise.
"Ne, Hinata-chan."
"Yes, Naruto-kun?"
"Look," he said pointing up. Just above their heads, hanging from a small string and a bow of ribbon, was a sprig of mistletoe. Hinata flushed and Naruto looked down at her. "Should we? We don't have to if you don't want to."
Hinata shook her head. "I don't want to break tradition," she said with a small smile and a laugh.
Naruto chuckled with her before letting his hands slowly wrap around her waist and felt her arms wrap around his neck. "I love you, Hinata," he told her before pressing his lips to hers gently.
They pulled back shortly after and Hinata rested her head on his heart. "I love you too, Naruto." Her boyfriend smiled at her and led her to the living room with his arm around her waist. They sat on the couch for a minute, staring into each other's eyes before they were interrupted by a small stream of curses.
Megumi huffed, glaring crossly at the tree as she held the star in her hands. Once again, life decided to have fun at her expense and at the thing she hated most. Her height.
"Stupid tree," she pouted. Really, this was a problem. How was she going to get that star on the tree if she couldn't reach the top?
"Need any help?"
Megumi turned around and almost dropped the star in her hands. "Well?" the person asked. Megumi nodded and gave him the star, watching him put it onto the top of the tree with ease.
"Spirit of the season?" she asked Kakashi.
Kakashi smiled. "No, after all those curses, I just wanted to save the tree."
"I wasn't going to do anything."
"You threatened to chop it down and burn it," he pointed it out, smiling happily as she blushed. "Shut up."
"I feel so hurt."
"Well, no one asked you to help and if I did end up burning the tree, we'd have mulch for the plants," she retorted, fingering the tinsel on the tree.
"Hn. Where's your boyfriend?" he asked blandly.
"Family reunion. Plus, we just had an anniversary celebrating our first month together. I didn't want to smother him; besides, he said he had some stuff to take care of," Megumi replied as she hung one last ornament onto the tree. Brushing the needles off her red turtleneck, she straightened herself up. "Did you get taller?"
Kakashi blinked. "I don't feel any taller and aren't you supposed to shrink with age?"
"That's what I thought. Maybe you're a medical anomaly. That would explain why you still don't look a day over 24."
"Thanks, I guess."
"You're welcome," she smiled.
"Hey Megumi!" Megumi turned to Tenten. "Yeah?"
"Remember what you promised Ino-chan?"
Megumi's face darkened. "Hn," she replied, walking (more correctly, stomping) upstairs. Kakashi grabbed a seat on the couch. "What's with her?"
"Megumi struck a deal with Ino-pig. Ino would lay off asking about the relationship if Megumi sung Candyman in a sailor-suit."
Kakashi raised a brow. "But how would Ino know if she isn't here to see it?"
Sakura grinned and held up a digital camera. "That's why she put me in charge of the camera."
Temari grinned toothily. "This is so going onto the internet."
Steps on the stairway were heard and everyone fell silent as Megumi sulked, tapping her high-heeled foot impatiently. The sailor suit was blue and white, exceedingly reminiscent to a school uniform, but the black stiletto heels and the low cut of the top with the missing midriff, along with just how short those shorts were, said otherwise. Really, the outfit was guaranteed to knock any man off his feet, but with the peeved look of the girl in the outfit, he didn't know whether to laugh at her or lick her.
After catching the 'lick' portion of his thoughts, he shook his head, reprimanding himself for the brief loss of sanity before watching her performance, the faint whirr of a CD in the background.
Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Candyman, candyman
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sweet, sugar, candyman
Hey, uh
I met him out for dinner on a Friday night
He really got me working up an appetite
He had tattoos up and down his arm
There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
He's a one stop shop, makes my panties drop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar-coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar-coated candyman
Ooh, yeah, yeah
He took me to the Spider club at Hollywood & Vine
We drank champagne and we danced all night
We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise (a big surprise)
The gossip tonight will be tomorrow's headline
He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar-coated candyman
A sweet talkin sugar-coated candyman
(Scatting)
Hey, yeah
Oh, yeah
He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar-coated candyman
A sweet talkin sugar-coated candyman
Whoa, yeah
Well, by now I'm getting all bothered and hot
When he kissed my mouth he really hits the spot
He got lips like sugar cane
Good things come for boys who wait
Candyman, candyman
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Candyman, candyman
(Sweet, sugar, candyman)
He's a one stop, gotcha hot, making all the panties drop
(Sweet, sugar, candyman)
He's a one stop, got me hot, making my uh pop
(Sweet, sugar, candyman)
He's a one stop, get it while it's hot, baby don't stop
(Sweet, sugar)
He got those lips like sugar cane
Good things come for boys who wait
He's a one stop shop with a real big uh
He's a sweet talkin' sugar-coated candyman
Say what a sweet talkin sugar-coated candyman
(say a sweet talkin sugar-coated candyman
A sweet talkin sugar-coated candyman
Oooh, whoa
Candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman
(Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine)
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
(Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine)
Jane lost her grip and down she fell
(Jane lost her grip and down she fell)
Squared herself away as she let out a yell
(Squared herself away as she let out a yell)
The song ended and her friends clapped, every one of them cracking up at her expense. She bowed slightly before turning curtly on her heel and began tearing at her clothing as she walked up the stairs, not even bothering to wait until she got to her room.
As the girls squealed and the males chuckled at both the girl and the face Naruto was currently sporting, Kakashi stared at the spot she was just standing at. He didn't know why, but he just really wanted some candy at that moment.
