Chapter 17
Okay, okay…I know I'm like a week late, but seriously, high school is killing me –I just had THE most stressful week ever –I had a Scriptures test on Tuesday, a Romeo and Juliet test on Wednesday (we finished the book…XD), a Vocab test and a Spanish test on Thursday, and another Romeo and Juliet test along with a Geometry test on Friday…sighs…anyways, I'm just gonna wing this chappie cuz I didn't plan it out or anything so things will probably be random and ….yeah…anyways, you HAVE to review this time cuz the review count has been going down and I'm thinking of ending this soon…and starting another fic…XD
Btw, I published a one-shot –Cheese! –Check it out! XD
--------------------------
(The next day)
Sai shook his head, as if trying to fend off an impeding headache.
"Argh….I feel disgusting…" He muttered, clutching his head in his hands and moaning all the while.
"Serves you right for trying to hook me up with Sasuke!" Sakura suddenly came into Sai's view and loomed over him, causing him to shiver and cry out.
"Sakura! Don't do that to me! It's not healthy to have someone as ugly as you near me when I wake up!" Sai screamed, struggling to back up on his bed in an attempt to get farther away from Sakura.
"Look…Sai…why didn't you just tell me to be with Sasuke in the first place?" Sakura said resignedly.
Sai thought for a moment and then replied.
"Well…for one, I didn't want you to start beating me up like you did before…." Sai said, rubbing his aching head, "And two because you might have refused…you know, with the whole Sasuke-becoming-evil-and-betraying-the-village-thing…"
Sakura's eyebrow twitched as she suddenly came up with a brilliant plan and smiled evilly.
"Fine…I'll give Sasuke a chance IF you do what I say…" Sakura said as she whispered her plan into Sai's ear.
Sai began to turn bright red as Sakura finished.
"No! I'm NOT doing that!" Sai crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Fine then…I guess I'll just ignore poor little Sasuke then…" Sakura smirked, knowing that Sai would eventually give in.
Sakura was right. A few minutes later, Sai sighed (lol…it sorta rhymes..XD) and muttered, "Okay…I'll do it, but you better hook up with Sasuke…"
Sakura just smiled again.
(a couple of hours later)
Sai stood outside the theater company, hesitantly stepping in. Once inside, he was greeted by a group of very…er…strange people.
"Hello, you very handsome little boy! I hope you are here to sign up for the lovely and delightful Romeo and Juliet play, am I right?" The leader of the group of weird people spoke.
Sai stared at the man, trying to hold down his laughter.
The man, it turned out, was a middle-aged guy in a pink fairy costume complete with the translucent wings and the sparkling wand. He had pink nail polish on and white mascara, along with some fake eyelashes that were almost falling off.
The man waited.
"Errm….yeah…..I am here to sign up for the Romeo and Juliet thingy…." Sai muttered, trying not to stare at the guy's feminine attire.
"That's so groovy, honey!" the man said. The suddenly turned around and beckoned Sai to follow him. The man's posse, however, stayed and started chatting with Sakura, who was pointedly ignoring all of the help! What do I do? Looks from Sai. Sighing loudly, Sai followed the fairy man.
Oh god…is he gonna rape me?
Hey, if he does, at least you'll get the satisfaction knowing that you've done it in a closet before..I know, but what if I get one of those STDs like we learned in Kakashi's sex ed class?
You know what? I REALLY do not wanna think about that again…seriously, that old pervert should NOT be teaching a sex ed class…I mean, remember when he told us that we should 'experiment'?
Okay…it's time for you to shut up….oh god! Is that a closet that he's leading me into?
Sai quickly shook his head for the millionth time that day, trying to ignore the sudden dizziness that resulted from his sudden movement.
The fairy-man (I'm gonna call him Mr. Fairy from now on…) led Sai into a closet-like office, that is to say, a very small office that could be considered to be a closet. Piles of papers were everywhere and there was a little laptop in a corner, with unpleasant images on its screen.
"err…Mister…."
"Mister Fairy-man –you can call me that…" Mr. Fairy-man said.
Sai held back a chuckle. "Sure…er…Mr. Fairy-man, I was just wondering…can I be Mercutio? I heard he's a very…err…entertaining character in the play…"
Mr. F grinned, apparently pleased with himself.
"Sure! See, our play is a little different from the actual play –it's basically about a girl, Juliet, who is played me, who first falls in love with Romeo but then cheats on him for Mercutio and Benvolio…I personally think it's a much better storyline, don't you think?"
Sai started backing up, realizing what he just signed himself up for.
Dammit Sakura! Why'd you have to do this to me? I'm still a virgin, you know!!!
Sai chuckled nervously.
"Hey, Mr. F….i don't have to do anything physical, right?"
Mr. Fairy-Man grinned.
"Oh, it's nothing…it's just that I have some things planned for in the play especially for Mercutio…"
Sai gulped.
Sakura! This is so not cool!
"Er…okay….I guess I'll be going now…" Sai hurriedly backed out of the closet-like office and made a run for it. He finally made it to the front entrance, where Sakura was talking to Mr. F's posse. Sai desperately skidded up to her, breaking up the group and dragged Sakura away and outside.
Once they were outside and ten blocks away, Sakura stopped running and shook Sai's grasp off her arm.
"Sai! What were you doing?" Sakura screeched.
(back at Tsunade's office)
"So, who did you and Kakashi sign up as?" Tsunade asked Itachi as he turned blue from finding out that all of the actors were guys.
"Oh…I was Lord Capulet and Kakashi is Benvolio…"
"Who's the director?" Tsunade asked.
Itachi peered at the screen and suddenly turned white.
"His name is Mr. Fairy-man and….omg…..LOOK AT WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE!"
Itachi showed the screen to Tsunade, who turned around to see a man with white mascara and pink nail polish.
"I heard he costars as Juliet, too, Jiraiya," Tsunade said, holding back laughter.
A few seconds later, a loud scream was heard throughout all of Konoha.
