Sasuke:Ugh... Your back

Sakura: Good to here from you again.

Naruto: I never you for a second.

Me: Ofcourse. You didn't expect me to stay in school forever did you.

Sasuke: Yeah whatever. Just get on with the stupid story.

Me: 0.0 ... ... ... -.-' ZAP!

Sasuke: ARG! WHAT IS THAT?!

Sakura: I believe it's my turn to introduce this chappie. Here goes nothing...

It's called GETTING READY! Hope you like it. Enjoy.

Chapter 5

Naruto took out a picture of him and everyone he'd known from the academy days that he had kept for a while now. It

reminded him so much of the past. He wished that he could go back and relive it so that he could make everything right. That way

he could avoid all the harm that he had to endure from the villagers then. It would be the perfect plan. "Yeah, if it really was

possible."

He got up and walked over to his bag. He had kept something in the right pocket of the lining that he had never shown to anyone,

not even Iruka. He opened the lining and took out a piece of ordinary, folded up paper that didn't look very valuable. But, to him,

it was very valuable. Inside it had a song he wrote when he had his free time not training and on missions. It was the perfect song.

But, if he ever showed to anyone, they would just make fun of him and say that it was a waste of words. He couldn't let that

happen.

You know Kyuubi, sometimes I wonder…" What Kit? "If my parents were alive, would they love me? Would they treat me

like a normal person?" I can't say that I can answer that question, Kit. But, I'm sure that as strong as you are now, Arashi

would be proud. "Hmm… Hey, don't go getting all mushy on me now, you darned fox!" You started it. It was 4:23 pm., and

everyone was getting ready for the festival while Sasuke went upstairs to fetch Naruto.

"Dope, open up." Sasuke lightly knocked on the door, knowing that Naruto wasn't asleep. He couldn't be asleep. It's only been

two-and-a-half hours. Sasuke knocked again. This time he got a straight answer. "What do you want, I'm busy." Naruto didn't

sound like he was in a good mood, but it was just fine for Sasuke. He knew how to handle him.

"No your not." Sasuke was just too smart for Naruto. He could outwit him easily. "Yes I am." Naruto replied in an annoyed

tone. "Oh yeah? Busy doing what, then?" Sasuke was slowly losing his patience with the dope. Naruto said the first thing that

came to his mind. "Umm… stuff… like… uh… studying! Yeah, ha-ha! Nothing like a good text book to clear the mind, eh?" he

he, smooth as silk.'

"Oh, stop. You don't study, you barely even read!" "Yes I do to read! Yesterday, I'll have you know, I read a whole Dr. Seuss

book, all-by-my-self!" "That doesn't count!" "Hmm…" … … … "Can I come in?" "Yeah, sure." Sasuke tried so hard to keep his

cool as not to startle anyone.

Sasuke opened the door to find a blond sitting on the bed. He wasn't reading a book or playing a game or anything. He was just

sitting there doing nothing. There was an awkward silence once he entered the room. The air started to thicken around him, so he

decided to ask the best question he could think up at moment. "What are you doing?" "Whoa! A whole sentence from the ice King,

himself." "Naruto, stop it." "Sorry…" Again. Silence. "Do you want to talk about it?" Sasuke wanted to help as much as he could.

Especially if he wanted him to go to the festival. "Na… don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

"So, what were you doing in here, anyway?" Naruto then remembered the song he left on the table that Sasuke was standing

right next to. 'He didn't notice it, yet. I need to grab before he see's it, or I'd be screwed for sure.' Naruto slowly made his way

to the table, trying to remain as calm as possible.

Sasuke had to find the words to say "Fine. Do you want to go to the festival, tonight? We've been planning it for a while now."

Naruto had to think of something to say, and quick. "Uh, Why not?" But, Naruto never got to the paper because at that moment

Sasuke took his wrist and brought him to the door. 'Great, now how am I supposed to get the song?' "Cool. Hey, Sakura! He

said yes." Sakura came in holding a yellow robe with red flames on the bottom and the sign for Ramen on the back. "Happy

birthday, Naruto! So, do you like I saw it and thought 'I gotta buy it, Naruto would love it!'" Naruto tried it on and started to

dance around in it, completely forgetting about the paper on the desk.

"Come on downstairs, everyone's waiting." Sakura spoke while she held her kimono and Sasuke's robes in her hands. "It starts

at 5:00 so we'd better get changed." Sasuke noticed the paper on the table and picked it up, but Naruto quickly snatched it away.

"Hey, Naruto what is that?" Naruto was lost of words so he made up something quick and ran down stairs dropping the paper on

the top step. Sasuke saw this and quickly picked it up, reading the contents inside and looking at the name on the bottom of the

page. "Hmm…"

Around 4:50 they were all downstairs, waiting for Naruto to finish getting ready. "Okay I'm ready now. How do I look?"

"KAWAII!" Screamed Ino and Sakura in unison. They all walked out of the Uchiha estate with Sasuke not far behind. Suddenly,

Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her back inside. "What is Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked ever so shyly. "I want you take a

look at this. Naruto wrote it." Sasuke said while walking out the door. "I want you, Hinata, and Ino to sing it at the festival. This

will be a total surprise to him." "No problem, I'll go show it to them right now."

Sakura ran in front of everyone to where Ino and Hinata were standing and gave them the paper. Naruto saw the back of the

paper. It looked familiar, really familiar. But, he decided to shrug it off. They soon arrived at the gates where the festival was being

held. Two guards stood at the door expecting tickets, but at soon as they saw that Naruto was with them, they let them go right

inside. As soon as they were completely out of sight, the two guards spoke. "Hey, now that we the demon fox here, we can really

get this party started." "He he he."

Naruto was enjoying a corndog for the very first time when, "HEY KID!" Naruto turned around. "Huh?"
