A Sixth Grade Talent Show!
Kisame was just inches away from Itachi, who was sitting on the dock. The blue man tried to balance himself to stand on top of the tire tube….and once again, like the past seven times, he ended up falling into the cool water.
"DAMN!" He cried as his spiky blue haired head popped up from under the surface of the water. Itachi sighed and looked past his partner. Randomly, a memory of the sixth grade talent show flashed through his mind.
"Kisame…do you remember in sixth grade…?"
Kisame pulled up his sunglasses, exposing his unusual yellow eyes.
"Yeah…when we really had no fucking idea who we were…why?"
Itachi snorted at that, as he ran a pale hand through his raven locks.
"Does it confuse you? How we seemed to have led two lives…and they just joined together…I can't even remember what came first, being an S-class shinobi or a cocky little brat." Kisame asked, now successfully balancing himself on the tube. He grinned at his accomplishment.
"Aa…"
"Well, you were saying something besides that before, weren't you Itachi-san? 'Do you remember in sixth grade……'"
"Ah right….the talent show." Itachi finished, and at the sudden flash of a horrid memory running through the fish mans mind, he lost balance and fell back first into the water.
"The Unknown sure was evil, suggesting such an idea to Leader…" Kisame muttered, now just holding onto the edge of the dock.
"Indeed…."
Flashback!!!!!!
They were all at Leader's house, as usual. But, the number of Akatsuki members was reduced to seven, consisting of Leader, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Sasori, Deidara, Kisame and Itachi.
The Unknown had yet become part of their group, simply because he was busy with other activities unknown to them. But, the Unknown was a close friend of Leader, and did spend time with them.
So, it was at this particular meeting that Leader, a mere eleven year old, stood at the head of a small table in his basement. It was a time, where Leader actually sported his flaming orange spiked hair, and his piercing crimson gaze.
"Members! There is…a talent show coming up. And I have decided, along with my faithful right hand man, to participate! Akatsuki will WIN that one hundred dollar prize, for the sake of world domination!"
There were a few mumbles around the table, a ten year old Deidara raised his hand wildly about.
"Leader, un! Leader!"
"What is it?" Glared Leader. Of course, his glare wasn't very intimidating, it was actually kind of cute…but, he tried.
"We should explode things, yeah! Amaze the crowd with a fine art of blasts!"
"Idiot, that isn't any fine art. That's probably the stupidest idea I've ever heard." Sasori spat, poking Deidara in the chest. Deidara stuck his tongue out at his best friend while Leader made a coughing noise.
"Quiet. How about you Sasori, any suggestions?"
"Ventriloquism…take the judges by surprise by showing our intellect and performing for the entertainment of the rest of the crowd in an act that no one has seen before at our school."
"hm…"
"HAH! We have too many people in Akatsuki to do some stupid puppet trick, Danna, yeah!"
"Well at least my idea was reasonable! If you actually planned to do explosives the school would probably suspend you for safety hazards and stuff!"
"Nuh-uh, yeah!"
"Yuh-huh!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"ENOUGH!" Sasori and Deidara stopped their bickering and looked away from each other childishly as Leader sighed. He looked over at the remaining members of Akatsuki.
"Any other ideas?" He asked.
Kakuzu shrugged, while Itachi was busy painting on a new coat of purple nail polish, and Kisame was puffing his cheeks out like a blow fish. Well, that's what you get for trying to be serious with eleven to ten year olds.
"You know, we could do a choreographed dance of some sort…" The Unknown put in lazily. Leader dragged his gaze on the blue haired boy. His hair was just chin length now, and he had a plastic white flower clipped to his hair. Everyone made fun of him because he seemed to out-feminize Deidara…
"hmmm…I guess. What do you suggest we…dance to?"
The Unknown put a hand on his cheek, leaning on his elbow and exchanged an intense gaze with Leader.
"Spice Girls." He said, a small smirk making it to the corners of his mouth. Leader's eyes sparkled with something none of the other members could place a finger on, but it scared them. Soon, Leader slammed his fist down on the table.
"IT'S SETTLED! We are doing a dance to Spice Girls!"
"What! We're boys!" Kisame shouted, obviously repulsed by the idea.
"If you will not participate then I shall feed you to my dogs!"
Kisame's light blue skin paled. Leader's dogs…those huge, furry, sharp-teethed walking death-traps.
"O-okay…" Kisame whispered, hugging himself while still in thought about being ripped apart by those monsterous dogs. They weren't even dogs, they were like, bears!
"Good! Spice Girl's it is!"
After weeks of practicing the dance, and getting together all the materials they would need, it was soon the night of the talent show, and our favorite, cute little Akatsuki members were all at Leader's house, preparing.
"Does this skirt make my butt look big, yeah?" Deidara whined, trying to see for himself with the mirror.
"Yeah, its HUGE!" Sasori answered, with a devious smirk. Deidara growled and tried to fight him, only to get bashed in the head with Leader's fists.
"Enough! Hurry up and get ready!"
"Fine, yeah"
Deidara fixed his shoulder length hair into two low pigtails and then checked himself out. He was wearing a black miniskirt with the Akatsuki clouds printed on it and a red tank top. He also had rather huge black, platform boots that reached his knees. He looked over at the others who were being forced to dress in such a girly-slutty attire.
Itachi was again painting his nails, not seeming to care that he looked scarily like, a girl, the two scared near his eyes were covered up with facial powder and his lips were reddened with cheap lipstick. His long raven hair was pulled into two high pigtails.
Yes, Itachi looked to be even more of a girl then the rest of them. Sasori was dressed the same too, and had his short hair in two very tiny pigtails, while Kakuzu had been screamed at to take his head-cover thingy off and put his black hair into high pigtails too.
"We are so screwed, yeah…" Deidara sighed, looking at himself again with embarrassment. What would the kids at school say now? They were all cross dressing! And what was worse was that they actually looked like girls! Oh, his pride was washed away for sure now, yeah.
"Doesn't this bother you, Danna? Itachi? Kakuzu?"
Sasori shrugged, saying he really didn't care, while Itachi blinked. Well, they were both weirdo's anyway, I mean, Sasori was a living puppet, something neither he nor any one else knew how to explain. And Itachi? Well, they all knew he had mental issues to some degree….plus, they were all sure that his massive fan club would end up making him even more popular with this whole act.
Kakuzu meanwhile huffed, his stitches covering his arms revealed for everyone to see…another unexplained characteristic of his, and he glared at Deidara.
"Im only doing it for the money, kid."
Deidara looked over to the lucky few that DIDN'T have to cross dress. Kisame was snickering in the corner at all of them, singing something about Barbie Girl, and Leader seemed to be fixing his cloak. Zetsu was sleeping.
"Time to go!" Leader said as he whirled around. Everyone looked at him. Somehow, now Leader had masked himself with a shadow that covered his whole being……
"It's a special addition to the cloak…NOW MOVE IT!"
Everyone got up, pilling into the car of Leader's bulter, Ralph and were on their way to the Talent show. They all had their Akatsuki cloaks, to conceal their cross dressing, and the high collars did well to hide Deidara and Sasori's pigtails…Itachi somehow made his pigtails unnoticeable with his amazing crimson eyes and Kakuzu had put his head cover back on.
They all entered the auditorium, looking for The Unknown who waved at them, holding up their CD. Leader nodded, and the Akatsuki went backstage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls! Tonight at our annual talent show we will see your own classmates perform!"
Halfway threw the show, Akatsuki came up behind the curtain waiting for the music to play and for the curtain to open to reveal them to everyone. Deidara was shaking with nervousness, while Sasori yawned and Itachi checked out his nails. Leader, who was in middle, waited impatiently.
Finally the curtains opened to a large amount of fan girls screaming 'ITACHI I LOVE YOU!' and an occasional, 'SASORI!!! KYAH!' or even 'Deidara!'. Never Kisame, and the poor fish man sighed. It was definitely because of his skin color, wasn't it? No one likes a blue skinned freak! And so, Kisame seemed to sulk a bit.
The seven Akatsuki stood on the stage in front of the huge crowd. Their red clouded cloaks hung from their thin frames as they shuffled into position on stage. They all took a place at the very back of the stage.
"HIT IT!" Barked Leader, who was somehow totally covered in shadow, despite the spotlights shining on the group, and raised his pointer finger at the music man up in the box.
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
The four Akatsuki as well as Leader raised their hands in a fluid like motion, as they took a step forward slowly in beat with the music, finally the five of them made it to the very tip of the stage, as Zetsu, and Kisame swayed to the beat in the back.
When you're feeling sad and low
We will take you where you gotta go
Smiling, dancing, everything is free
All you need is positivity
The members in the front bent down, smiled, and everything all at the right cue as they all sang together, in their pre-puberty kiddy voices.
Spice up your life
Aaahh!!!
Then, the two Akatsuki on the left and right of Leader threw off their cloaks, revealing their…revealing outfits as they danced with the music. Some of the boys laughed in the audience and the girls squealed.
Slam it to the left
If you're having a good time
Shake it to the right
If you know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front
Uh Uh go round
Slam it to the left
If you're having a good time
Shake it to the right
If you know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front
Hi Ci Ya Hold Tight
As the song continued, the Akatsuki pulled off their dance routine and ended with a "Girl Power" pose as the Spice Girls done in their own version, while Kisame and Zetsu came to the sides waving their hands in the air.
The auditorium was rather quiet once the music was off…some people weren't sure how to take the performance…sixth grade boys cross dressing as girls…rather odd. But the judges seem to think that due to putting their pride on the line and putting out an outstanding performance, they won.
"Success!" Leader shouted backstage, hugging the Unknown as he jumped up and down. Deidara pouted as he wiped at the lipstick still stuck on his lips, and rubbed his palms. The mouths on his palms seemed to be choking on the black cloth he always wore around them, but he didn't care.
"Mission Accomplished…Excellent" Leader patter every one of the cross dressers on the shoulder as he gave each an approving nod.
End of Flashback
"And then, after that I was honored with the job of beating the crap out of all the people who made fun of you guys…and all of us." Kisame added, sighing at the memory.
"You know, now that I think about it, you made one pretty hot girl, Itachi-san!"
Itachi glared at his partner, and kicked some water in the sharks face.
"AGH!"
"Hn."
Oh yes, Memories…
End…
