Chapter 5
Disclaimer: Figured I'd better put a disclaimer in this story finally so that the owners cant sue my intestines out. I don't own anything related to Naruto except for a few Jutsu's I created and any OC's that may appear in the story to make up the rest of the class. This disclaimer is regarded to be valid for all chapters of the story and if anything comes up that I didn't mention then I will make another disclaimer in the relevant chapter.
That should keep me from being disembowelled by the lawyers, barristers, judges, jury, executioners, random hate mailers and all fellow readers of Icha Icha Paradise.

"So what song should we practise?" asked Naruto
"How 'bout Helena by My Chemical Romance?" suggested Sasuke
"Too Emo" said Neji "What do you think about Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects?"
"Maybe," said Naruto
"Shouldn't we let Naruto pick because it is his act" said Shikamaru looking at Naruto curiously
"Yeah I know a good one that we can do," said Naruto
"So……Spill, what is it?" said Sasuke getting impatient
"Its………"
----------------------------------------------------
At Ino's ApartmentIno, Sakura, Hinata and Tenten were all deciding what they would be doing at Ino's party the next day.
"What music will you be playing, anything too dark and emo will make Neji go off in a sulk so you can leave that till the end" said Tenten
"I was thinking that we could get Shika's band to perform live for us" said Ino
"Haha, you just want an excuse to rush to stage" said Sakura
"I don't need an excuse" replied Ino
"Well, how about I give them a ring and see if they can make it, I'm sure they can but I'd better tell them to bring their instruments early" said Sakura picking up the phone
She dialled Sasuke's cell phone number and heard it ring about 7 times before he finally picked up.
"Hey, who is it"
"It's Sakura, Sasuke-Kun"
"Oh, Hey, what do you want?"
"I was wondering if you and your band would want to come and perform at Ino's party tomorrow"
"Let me just ask the others" said Sasuke pulling the cell phone away from his mouth
"Do you guys want to a gig at Ino's party tomorrow?" came the muffled voice of Sasuke
Sakura heard a few mumblings then Sasuke came back on the line
"Naruto wants to know if there's going to be ramen"
"Tell him, if he performs well he can have all he can eat"
Sakura heard Sasuke pull away from the phone to tell Naruto when she heard the clatter of cymbals, the sounds of struggling and a sudden burst of sound as Naruto yelled "HELL YEAH!" into the phone that burst Sakura's eardrum.
Due to the noise Sakura just disconnected the call and muttered "Lousy ramen lover, deafens me so he can eat. Stupid fuck"
"Should we take that as a yes?" asked Hinata
"Yep, I'll tell them to bring their instruments round right after school" said Sakura
"Do you know what songs their going to play?" asked Tenten
"No…Oh god, they wouldn't play Emo music would they" asked Sakura
"Probably not, its not their style. I think it'll be rock music" said Ino
"That's good, all of our friends like rock so that should be just fine" said Sakura
"So who's actually coming?" asked Hinata
"Us 4, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, Rei, Rock Lee, Shino, Kiba, Chouji, Akada, Nigo, Tion, Sai, and I think that Dorigo will come later" said Ino
"So we have a lot of the girls and a few of the boys friends so they don't get overrun by rabid fan-girls" said Tenten
"Great, we'll make sure we're cleared out by the early hours so you and Shikamaru can get some 'alone' time" said Sakura teasingly while Ino blushed
-------------------------------------------------------
Back with the boys"ATCHOO!" came a simultaneous sneeze from the four teens present.
"Think someone's plotting our doom?" asked Neji
"Only you would think of something like that," said Naruto
"Sakura probably will be, considering how loud you yelled in her ear," said Sasuke
"Yeah well…. tough shit" said Naruto
"So what should our play list be?" asked Shikamaru
"You're the genius, you tell me," said Neji
"How about some Foo Fighters, then some Panic At The Disco, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and then take requests for the rest of the night?" suggested the genius
"I suppose that'll work" said Naruto
"Suits me" said Naruto "I think I can hit those notes but we might have to put some different stage gear on than our usual if we're doing a gig for our friends"
This made Shikamaru think about the training pants and vests that they normally wore for their gigs.
"What if I got Ino to do some clothes shopping for us tonight, she could get us some cool gear and then we'll add our own 'personal touch' to it." Said Shikamaru
"Cool, tell her on your way home, I mean the mall closes at 8pm and its 5pm now so she had better get her ass moving" said Sasuke
"Ok guys, lets split and we'll get the girls on MSN later so we can talk about some finer details" said Shikamaru
"Alright!" yelled Naruto as he ran straight out of the door running as fast as he could into Konoha but all they could hear was his moronic voice yelling "ICHIRAKU RAMEN!" all over the place.
"Stupid asshole, didn't even tell us what his new MSN is. He changes his name so often I got him confused with Dorigo once and then I had a psycho, hormonal teen with a Kekkai Genkai (Bloodline Limit) that scares people stiff after me" said Shikamaru
"Why would Dorigo chase you, he's a nice guy. Bit touchy when you talk about someone close to him but….. you said about his girlfriends mole didn't you" said Neji looking a bit afraid
"I thought he was Naruto and said I had an encounter with 'Moegi The Mole' then he said it was him." Said Shikamaru visibly shaking just from remembering it
"But your good friends him now, I've seen you talking to him and laughing together, hell you even shared your chips with him up on the roof" said Sasuke
"Yeah, but he is a good guy really, he actually apologized for going mental but did warn me not to say it again. Needless to say I haven't"
"So we'd better split, Shikamaru, you go get Ino to go shopping not that she'll need much persuasion. Neji, you go and pave the way for Shikamaru by getting Hinata, Tenten and Sakura out of the way. I'll go and make sure Naruto doesn't spend his months food allowance on ramen." Said Sasuke
"Ok Split" said Neji as he jumped out of the window while Shikamaru walked around the proper way.
Sasuke followed Neji out the window and past the Ramen stand where he had already consumed 10 bowls of Miso Ramen.
"Naruto, get home and start practising, Teuchi-Jii-San (Old Man Teuchi) , can you black list Naruto until Saturday morning please. We need him to practise and I think Ramen is the only distraction that we can't control all the time."
"If you're sure it's only for that long, if Naruto stops coming here then I'll be out of a job"
"I'm sure"
"Fine," said Teuchi picking up a little black book and writing down something that looked similar to 'Moneybags absent for 2 days'
"Now Naruto, GET HOME AND PRACTISE!" yelled Sasuke so loud that some of the shutters fell down and the noodles started jumping out of the boiling tubs.
"Fine fine, thanks Jii-San"
"See you Saturday for breakfast" said Teuchi
"You bet"
"For fuck sake, GO HOME!"
"FINE!" yelled Naruto as he disappeared in a poof of smoke
"Have we just been arguing with a Kage Bunshin?" asked Sasuke
"I think so"
"He really is getting smooth, I doubt even Kakashi-Sensei could do that so smoothly"
"Must be all the ramen he eats, he's like the noodle that got away"
"Stop it with the weird sayings they're starting to scare me"
"I'm bored and an old man, it's the only entertainment I get all day other than telling Naruto, ramen has been made illegal"
"And he falls for it everyday?"
"Yeah"
'Maybe he's not as smooth as I thought he was'------------------------------------
The girls little chit-chat had broken down the moment they sensed someone else's chakra signature.
The girls all got into fighting poses as a figure in a massive hooded cloak that looked like a grim reaper smashed through the window.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" yelled the figure
"Wait a sec, I recognise those tones" said Tenten as she walked to the figure who started to back away
Tenten just looked into the void of darkness that was the hood as she sneakily slid her hand into the cloak and felt around until she felt what she was looking for.
The other girls looked on in awe as the figure started squealing then moaning then panting as they all saw Tenten's hand moving around inside the cloak.
"Alright, take it off Neji, I know its you. That little hobbit could only belong to you" said Tenten with a grin on her face as the figure pulled back its hood to reveal a blushing Neji
"Alright guys, you owe me 100 dollars EACH for making Neji blush in front on you"
"YOU USED ME FOR A BET!" yelled Neji
"You can get 100 of it" whispered Tenten in his ear
"Can you make it 200 if you do it again with the hood down this time?" Whispered Neji back in her ear.
"Don't push it Hyuuga"
"Alright, but can you and Hinata come with me, I was going to take you to a film and then somewhere else afterwards but I think I just got my afters" said Neji amidst the giggling of the girls
Suddenly Neji felt two heavy weights on his arms so he looked and saw that Hinata and Tenten had cemented themselves to his arms
"We want to see the movie" said Hinata trying to lift herself up onto Neji's shoulders
"Fine.." said Neji nervously as Tenten jumped onto his front and was bouncing up and down in front of him "You might want to just stay cemented to my arm though, I doubt I'll be able to sit down in the cinema with Hinata on my back"
"How about me on your front?" asked Tenten feeling ignored
"We'll see"
Neji then proceeded to half drag, half be dragged, the girls out of the apartment and down the street heading towards the cinema
"That was odd" said Sakura standing in her best friends lounge in front of a smashed window.
"Don't even start with that"
They didn't notice a shadow sneak around the corner and hold them both in place as suddenly as a bolt of lightning.
Shikamaru made his way over to the immobile girls before putting his arms around Ino just below her breasts.
"Hello gorgeous, can you do me and the band a favor?" asked Shikamaru kissing the bottom of her neck
"Depends on what you want and what your willing to give for it"
"You do a little shopping on our behalf and your payment will be received tomorrow and possibly the day after as well"
"Shopping and payment, your on!" yelled Ino as she tried to move but remembered the Jutsu in place on her and Sakura
"Can you release me please?" said Ino
"Ok, but you have given me some ideas that I could use" said Shikamaru 'I have got to get some tips off that perverted sensei of ours, at least he's good for something'
"Now, what do you want me and Sakura to buy"
"I need you to get our band a new outfit each so we'll look suitable for a rock gig, no gothic stuff and defiantly nothing as bright as Naruto's jacket. I really doubt he can hear me over it." Said Shikamaru
"That all?"
"Unless you have any other ideas?"
"Not at the minute" said Ino 'Anko-Sensei, you had better be right about this'
"See you then," said Shikamaru jumping out of the window
"I'm surprised he was awake enough to remember to land Ino…Hey Ino?" said Sakura looking around
"SHOPPING!" came a voice from out of the window
"God, it affects the blondes more than most people" said Sakura as she walked out of the apartment and downstairs to meet her hyperactive friend
'This is going to be long and painful' thought Sakura
'Tomorrow is going to be long and painful for Shikamaru' thought Ino with a glint in her eye.
