"WHAT!?" Kiba shouted at the top of his lungs, horrified by Naruto's suggestion. "are you insane??? I'll get demoted for sure!"
Naruto grinned form ear to ear. "Don't worry, you'll be fine!! The old hag will most likely enjoy it" He snickered. "Probably the most action she's gotten in ages!!"
Snickers were exchanged between the others and a couple protests as well. From Kiba of course, but Neji mentioned something about the whole fiasco being 'extremely dishonorable and unacceptable' But who cares what psycho Neji thinks?? His torture will come soon and he won't have a choice honor or no honor.
"Naruto! Don't say that about Hokage-sama! Show some respect!"
Naruto frowned at Sakura for taking the Hokage's side. As far as he was concerned, she deserves every bit of disrespect for all the she did to him.
Kiba had a frown on his face. He didn't want to feel up the most important person in the village! That would make him a laughing stock and a known pervert if it somehow got out. He could imagine it now, in the paper headlines would read 'Local genin, Kiba Inuzuka, tries to get frisky with the Hokage four times his age! What's next? Rock Lee finally admits his love for Maito Gai?'
Kiba shook his head vigorously, trying to get the nasty images out of his head." That's what you think; you're not the one that has to actually feel her up!"
Ino looked up at Kiba. "Stop being a coward!," she said snobbishly. "Its going to be easier than you think. She doesn't even look 50, Kiba!
Kiba scowled.
"For once, the annoying girl is actually right" Naruto said matter-of-factly while putting his hands behind his head and grinning. "Old lady Hokage looks like she's 20 thanks to that weird jutsu she has, so it shouldn't be that difficult!
Ino grabbed Naruto in a head lock and started to semi-suffocate the poor Hokage wannabe. "Are you saying that I'm never right, fox boy!?" She had him in an awesome death grip, he was actually starting to turn a little blue. "Huh… HUH!?
"Cant….breathe…," was the only thing he could manage to squeeze out.
"Stop Ino-pig!" Sakura yelled.
Ino smirked. "Why? Is he your boooyfriiiend??" She said, putting a lot of emphasis on the word 'boyfriend'.
Sakura's face went red and sour. "No you stupid pig! I don't want to have to explain to Kakashi-sensei or Tsunade-sama about how you almost killed Naruto by strangulation and I never did anything about it! I don't want to get into trouble over your dumbass when it was my duty to protect a team-mate!"
"STOP!" Kiba yelled, getting everyone's attention, even the almighty Sasuke's, who wasn't even paying attention to anything going on. According to him, he was too powerful to pay attention to someone so inferior. But lets just let him think that, eh folks? Moving on. Everyone stared at Kiba, dead silent. "I'm going to go through with the dare," he said, looking at the ground. "Cuz a man never backs down from a challenge!" He said with a smug grin on his face.
The whole room was still silent and starring right at Kiba. I guess the faux-heroic-manly-type just isn't what Kiba fits in.
Ino, unknowingly, released Naruto from her death grip and he stopped to catch his breath before he looked around dumbly and said, "Man? What man??" and started to search stupidly for the so-called "man".
Kiba anime fell…hard.
As the young shinobi stood outside the Hokage's office, they anxiously waited for Kiba to make his move. Naruto was standing with his hands on his hips smiling like a jackass. Lee was still in shock, and Neji was shaking his head side to side mumbling to himself about how dishonorable it was.
Kiba crept up to the Hokage's office and knocked on the door, standing tall with his chest puffed out and his eyes narrowed. The rest watched from a 'safe' distance and snickered as the doorknob began to turn. Kiba immediately started sweating bullets even though his facial expression hasn't moved from the self-confident look he had before. The door slowly opened to reveal the tall and curvy Hokage standing there smiling.
"Yes can I help you" she said politely. The others, standing their 100 yards away, tried to restrain Naruto from laughing too loud and giving away their position. Kiba's hands began to shake as he slowly raised it to his chest. His knees began to quake, but the 'manly' smirk never left his face. He took a heroic step towards the Hokage, and with one slight squeak it was all over… Kiba 'tripped' over his own feet and went tumbling into the Hokage's arms. His hand just happened to land in a…ahem….certain spot.
The spectators that were once his devoted team-mates had scurried off in a fit of excitement and terror. He looked up at the Hokage who had a blank expression that seemed to say "great…another stupid shinobi prank…" Kiba saw that she was neither disgusted nor pleased with his actions…so he decided to take it a step farther, but before he could get the second squeeze in, he heard a door slam and a blood red souvenir that resembled a hand print was left across his face. Kiba stood outside the door with a slight smile of satisfaction on his face and his eyes were swirling around from the Hokage's hard blow. He touched the red mark with his hand and his is smile grew wider by a little bit. He was actually glad he went through with this dare. Pervert. Meanwhile, Tsunade was in her room trying not to burst through the door and teach that little brat a lesson.
Kiba returned to Sasuke's house to find everyone waiting at the door, anxious for his return. "SO HOW'D IT GO??" Naruto blurted out. Kiba smirked and stood with his hands placed firmly on his hips, "What Naruto?? You mean you didn't have enough guts to stay and watch??" Kiba gave him a smug look of disappointment.
Naruto stuttered.. "well…uhh…" he rested his hand behind his head "you see…we just didn't wanna be in the way when she totally annihilated you" Naruto grinned and Kiba went over and punched him on his head "Well she didn't, did she?" Kiba exclaimed "In fact…" He put his hand to his chin and tilted his head up in a thoughtful manner Not to brag or anything….but I think she kinda liked it" He smirked and laughed with pride.
"Is that why she gave you that nice red tattoo on the side of your face" Sasuke replied arrogantly. Kiba sweat dropped and tried to cover the embarrassing mark with his own hand. "Oh that?" he stammered. "I just ran into the wall on my way out…nothing to be embarrassed about…Anyways; whose turn is it now???"
"It's yours, Kiba" Ten Ten said, sitting Indian-style on the floor next to a usual grumpy Neji.
"Oh, yea," Kiba said sitting down on the ground a few feet away from Shino. Kiba looked around the room at all the genin to see who would be good to embarrass. 'Hmm…Shikamaru? No…he's never any fun, torture or not. Hinata? No, can't do anything to embarrass her. Chouji? Hell no. He'd probably eat me.' He then stopped at Ino and smirked. "Perfect. Ino!"
Ino looked up "What???"
"Truth or dare?" Said Kiba
Ino crossed her arms and thought for a second. She contemplated which would probably be more harmful. This was Kiba after all, and he had a messed up mind. Ino took the safe way out, the little chicken.
"I choose truth" She said prepishly (yes, I know that's not a word) "I don't wanna end up in the hospital for any screwed up dare you come up with"
Kiba frowned and pouted. "You're no fun." He thought for a second. "Ok. Ino, what is your most embarrassing moment?"
"That is such a stupid truth!" Naruto blurted out again.
"Shut up already, Naruto!" Sakura yelled.
Meanwhile Hinata was twiddling her fingers, very glad she wasn't in Ino's place because she saw Ino's nervousness... She was starting to sweat like a pig. No pun intended.
Kiba looked at Ino. "Well? Are you going to make us wait all night?"
Ino looked down, not really wanting to do this at all. She sighed, "Ok, ill tell you but it's a long story. It happened about 3 years ago at my ninth birthday party…"
Sakura paid close attention. She was at that birthday party, but a lot of things were fuzzy to her since not long after it, she and Ino became enemies
On with the flashback to Ino's story
Flashback
"Ino!" Ino's mom called.
"Yea??" A shorter version of the present Ino came in. She was wearing a light purplish dress and a tiny purple clip with a flower on it in her hair to hold back her bangs, and black dress shoes.
"Your friends will be here soon. Why don't you go wait by the door and greet them when they come.
"Ok!" Ino said with a smile, and then sped off with a cloud of dust when she 'thought' she heard the doorbell ring.
Soon enough there were a bunch of kids at the house and it was probably an hour into the party. Ino was having fun like any nine year old would. She was talking to sakura about something when she heard the doorbell ring again. She looked up at her mother.
"Mom, I thought everyone was here. Who could be at the door?" She said with a bit of curiosity written on her face.
Her mom smiled. "Why don't you go see who it is? It's a special guest who came here just for you."
Ino's face lit up automatically. "Really?!" Her mother nodded. Ino didn't even say a word. She ran right to the door and opened it up. But her smile soon disappeared with a look of surprise.
There in front of her, stood this enormous clown. I'm not kidding. To Ino, he looked like a giant, considering she was still pretty short. He had a bright orange afro that made Richard Simmons' look small, a brightly colored face, a hideous poofy-like costume with orange ruffles on the wrists, neck and ankles, and freakishly long shoes. O yea and we can't forget the red nose. In his hand was a poorly made balloon animal and a toy horn in the other. He smiled a scary wide smile at Ino.
"Hello little girl!! I'm looking for Ms. Ino Yamanaka! Are you her?" He said very happily with the same scary grin as he honked his horn.
Ino just stared up at him…not saying anything. Then she started screaming at the top of her lungs and started bawling. She ran inside yelling things like "He's gonna kill me!!!!" and "Save me! The monster wants to eat me!!" Who knew she would be afraid of clowns at the age of 9?? Her parents should have really checked before daring to do something like that.
End Flashback
Ino started to shiver after she got done telling the insanely long story.
Everyone stared a second, then started laughing. Well…mostly everyone.
"HAHAHAHA" Naruto laughed. "You're afraid of clowns!!! That's hilarious!!"
Sakura scoffed "I remember that!!! I can't believe I'd forget something like that! It took you like, 2 hours to come out of your room and stop crying." See, after Ino got done running around, she ran up to her room and locked herself in, refusing to come out even though the clown left a half hour after that." Damn, Ino's a drama queen.
Even Neji and Sasuke couldn't help but snicker silently or smirk at Sakura's statement.
Ino scowled. "It's not my fault I'm afraid of clowns!! Can we just move on?!"
The laughter soon died down and everybody was ready to move on. Ino sat there arms crossed and not in a good mood. Whoever she was gonna chose was most likely screwed either way. She scanned the room looking for someone to take her wrath out on, then it hit her, why not force all the boys to do something. Ino got a malicious grin on her face and checked out each one of the boys. "OK!" she said strongly "I'm taking things in a new direction. I'm choosing to do a group dare" she took a glance around the room and saw Shikamaru and Sasuke giving her quite unwelcome looks. "What?" she asked,
Shikamaru stood up "That's stupid you can only pick one person to dare…group dares are so troublesome."
Sasuke interrupted "Yea that's totally ridiculous, why even have such a stupid idea" he sat there in all his quiet-bad-boy-ness looking totally care free, until that was disrupted by a loud screechy voice.
"Great idea Ino! Whoever participates in the group dare shall use there shining youthfulness to their full potential! Sharing youthfulness is much more enjoyable in a group than it is alone!" Lee yelled out, giving her big thumbs up with his teeth gleaming "Lets do it guys!"
"Good" Ino stated "I dare all you guys to get up and do a routine to the 'cheerleading song'"
Sakura gagged with her imagination running wild and seeing Chouji in a cheerleading outfit "Are you sure that's a good idea, Ino?" she asked in a confused manner.
"Sure, why not?" Ino sat proudly with her arms folded and her nose in the air.
"I totally refuse to do this" Sasuke said in his apathetic tone.
"Yea, that's just way too ridiculous!" Naruto exclaimed. Shino just sat there and squinted…even though no one could tell because of his glasses…..but before that he stuck some kind of bag into his pocket. (AU: hmm wonder what that is?? Keep reading the story people and find out later!)
"Fine…" Ino said shyly as she turned her back to the group "I guess you guys are all just too…..CHICKEN!" she spun around lightning fast and smirked at the boys.
"I AM NOT CHICKEN!" Naruto said defensively, he immediately stood up and struck a pose. "C'mon guys don't make me do this alone!"
Chouji stood up without saying a word still holding his beloved bag of chips…
"Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better…" Naruto squinted and sweat dropped a few times.
"Fine we might as well get this over with…" Neji stood up ashamed of what he was about to do. He stood there shaking his head and mumbling "This is so dishonorable….."
Lee jumped up and spread his feet then brought them together and did his best high kick, then he turned to the guys and in a high girlish voice said "C'MON LADIES LETS SEE THOSE KICKS!" ….Sasuke immediately stood up and punched Lee on the head.
Shikamaru and Shino then stood up and joined in the chorus line. Kiba stood up and completely objected.
"THIS IS SO UNFAIR! I just finished my dare and now I gotta do another one?? And one so un-manly! No freakin way!" he sat down and crossed his arms pouting like a little 2 year old.
"Fine, quit complaining Kiba…you can just be in the background clapping or whatever" Ino stated in a smug manner.
"Well…I guess that's better then having to sing it…." Kiba stood up and took his place behind the other boys.
"Now I know you guys know these words, because Tsunade-sama made us all learn them for the village-wide stage play…so don't even try to make an excuse to get out of it" Ino smirked and chuckled at her ingenious plan. Sakura sat in the back...not knowing whether to be disgusted or excited. Hinata blushed a little and giggled under her breath. Ten Ten was too busy checking out Neji to even remember what the dare was.
"Ok Sasuke, I'll count it off and you can start the fire works" Ino scrunched up her face and grinned, "…3…….2……..1……hit it girls!"
Sasuke began in a mild tone and a totally death ridden look on his face "I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot…"
Naruto used his sexy jutsu to sing his verse "I'm bitchin, great hair, the boys all love to stare!"
Next came Chouji who sang his with surprisingly good enthusiasm. "I'm wanted, I'm hot, I'm everything you're not!"
Then it was Shikamaru turn "I'm pretty, I'm cool, I dominate this school……ugh this is so troublesome…"
Lee jumped in front of them all kicking and yelling "Who am I? Just guess! Guys wanna touch my chest!! I'm rockin', I smile, and many think I'm vile. I'm flying, I jump, you can look but don't you hump!"
Just then Kiba came around front and raised a fist and plainly stated "wooh!"
Neji came in with his part doing some pretty fancy foot work in front of the group "I'm major, I roar, Neji flipped his hair back I swear I'm not a whore!"
"We cheer and we lead, we act like we're on speed!" Sasuke sang out, now getting a little more into it and actually starting to twitch….which kinda looked like dance moves…
Just then Naruto got right in Ino's face and sang out as loud as he could "hate us cause we're beautiful, well WE DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER!"
Then Naruto joined back in the line and they all started doing the can-can and singing the last verse "we're cheerleaders! We are cheerleaders!"
The guys all with blank stares once again took their seats. Meanwhile the girls were staring blankly at each and every one of them….then burst out laughing…yes, even Hinata. The boys sat curled up trying to conserve the last bit of dignity they had left. Shikamaru leaned over and whispered in Naruto's ear "I just hope they didn't have a camera hidden somewhere…"
Naruto turned to Shikamaru then grabbed his knees and started rocking back and forth, making noises that kinda sounded like whimpering. Neji looked over at Naruto then rubbed his forehead "how dishonorable…how very…very dishonorable" Lee was still dancing around………yeah…..we'll leave it at that……
"Great job guys! I couldn't…I couldn't be more proud!" Ino attempted to talk between her laughs. "Ok, ok….so whose turn is it now??"
To be continued…
