Okay! The first of the last episodes! Yay!

The End of the Year Ball is finally coming. And everyone's last chance is finally winding down.

Dakku knows the Ball is coming up but for some reason he's having heavy doubts. Naruto thinks he has a sure fire way of getting Dakku to go with him to the Ball. And poor Shikamaru seems to be a pawn in his game. Will Dakku's doubts go away? Who will Dakku agree to with? And who will surprise Naruto?

Naruto: Wolf High Chronicles

Episode 20: Prom Invites are... Troublesome

With April already on us and May being the end of the semester everyone is buzzing. The End of The Year Ball is the second week of May. And with this being the first week of April, finding a date for that Ball is top priority. Goddamnit. I need to focus on more important things. School is still in session. I need to focus on my classes. I don't have time to focus on who might take me to the Ball. Wait... why do I want someone to take me? I should ask someone myself.

Gah! Stop sidetracking. The tickets go on sale today... I don't have money for my ticket. Sigh. For someone not worried over this... I sure as hell seemed prepared for the worst. Gah... I sidetracked again... that's another strike on Shino's paper. Okay! I got it... I need to calm down already. Focus, Dakku... focus. The day is young... and so is this whole Ball thing. Someone's gonna ask you to go so no sweat. FUCK! I sidetracked again! That's it... I give up... I really want to go.

Oh Please! Oh Please!

Dakku sighed at the D grade Shino gave him. His mind was not focused on anything but wondering what would happen once the Ball tickets went on sale during lunch. Shino looked at him oddly. "Are you okay? You seemed overwhelmed and ventured off the main idea many times today." Shino's trademark emotionless comments made him cringe. "I'm fine. Just a bit... worried I guess." Shino nodded and got what he meant. "Afraid no one will want to go with you to the Ball?" He banged his head on the table and Iruka looked at him.

"Dakku... you do know those tables are not meant for that right?" Iruka said as a dazed Dakku fell out of his seat. Iruka sighed and shook his head. "I remember my first jitters. He so nervous for no reason." Iruka walked back to his desk as Dakku climbed back into his own chair. "You got it easy, Shino. You got Hinata to agree to it before the tickets even went on sale. Not even that... I... never been to a dance before." Shino shook his head. "I don't know how to dance, if that's what you think."

The bell rang and they collected their things and left. Kiba ran up to Dakku and smiled at him. "Whacha doing later?" Kiba's excitement was scaring Dakku. "I... umm... have... plans." Dakku's lie seemed to have work. "Oh. Well... how about we talk later in Sex Ed?" Kiba said as he walked off. Dakku nodded softly behind him as he walked up the stairs to his class. Dakku walked into his Advance Chem. class and sat down at his table. Hinata smiled at him and he smiled back. Sasuke walked in a bit solemn.

The period went by slowly with people talking about who they might go with to the Ball. Dakku rolled his eyes and sighed. "This Ball thing sucks sooo much already. I hate everyone." Sasuke looked at him and grumbled. "At least you still have a shot of going with someone. I heard rumors of 3 people wanting to ask you to go." Dakku's eyes exploded. "3!?" He felt his heart sink and he began to sweat profusely. "That's... a lot... what do I do... if... that happens?" Sasuke shrugged. "Take what you get." Sasuke said as he punched the table.

Hinata and Dakku looked at him as he apologized for making their potions fall over. They sighed defeatedly and rushed to clean up the mess. Sasuke looked at them and shrugged. "I'll make Naruto go with me to that ball. I'll make him fall in love with me again." Sasuke said as he noticed some of their potion making it's way towards him. "Oh... god." He shot up and watched as it dripped on his sneakers. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hinata and Dakku looked down at his sneaker in shock.

"Is... black suppose to turn purple?" Dakku asked as Hinata sighed. "We have to start the whole thing over now." She said sitting back down sad. Orochimaru glared at them. "Can you three be silent? Not so much you, Sasuke, but the other two." Dakku rolled his eyes. "Weird ass pedophile." He said it under his breath loud enough for Hinata to hear it and giggle. Sasuke per-occupied himself with cleaning his sneaker. Dakku sat down and avoided touching the table for the rest of the period... not wanting to change colors.

Wild and Crazy Kids!

The lunch table was more packed then ever. Kiba, Dakku, Hinata, Shino, Sasuke, Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru and Ino were all grouped together. They all sat down anxiously awaiting the announcement. "God... can they go any slower?" Sasuke grunted. Kiba looked at Dakku who was writing in his notebook. "He's always writing something. I wonder what he's writing." Kiba leaned over and tried to look in the notebook. Dakku glanced up quickly and smacked the back of his head. "No. Don't look at what I'm doing. Mind yours."

Kiba sat down mad at him. Naruto laughed at the sight of Kiba being put down by a much smaller Dakku. "I wonder if he's going to the ball with anyone. I should ask him as soon as I get the chance to be alone with him." Naruto smiled to himself. With his plan already formulating in his head he looked off at Sasuke who was not having a good day. Sasuke played with his food never once eating it. Shikamaru and Ino were talking about Ball ideas. "So... got anyone to go with, Shikamaru?" Ino's sweet voice made Shino and Dakku shudder.

Before he could answer the doors of the lunch room flew open. Tsunade walked in and looked at all of them. Izumo and Kotetsu came walking in with another 2 boys. One was very sickly looking. The other seemed normal... or at least Dakku thought as much. Once again, Dakku was appalled by the fact they were all dressed the same. "Hayate, Genma. Set up a table over there." The two boys nodded and walked off to where she pointed. "Izumo, Kotetsu. Over there." She pointed and they walked off.

She placed a hand on her hip. The silence of the lunch room was deafening. She gave a small smile and a small woman walked in with two small boxes and place one on Hayate's table. The last box on Izumo's. She snapped her fingers and the two boys opened their boxes. Everyone stood up and tried to look inside the boxes. She cleared her throat loud and they all sat down. She nodded and looked at the clock. There was 30 minutes left till the end of the period. She took a deep breath and everyone was on the edge of their seats.

"Each ticket is... 45 dollars. Go nuts." She left the lunchroom. There were small murmur until Ino stood up. The silence dropped on the room again. She walked up to Izumo's table and smiled. "Limited amount. We have 200 tickets. 100 each box." Izumo smiled. Then... as Dakku described it... the apocalypse happened. Mostly everyone shot out at their seats and ran for the tables fighting to get first in line. There was cursing, screaming, yelling and crying. Dakku swore he saw a chair being thrown.

Dakku did manage to see who made it to Hayate's table. Naruto had somehow managed to beat out everyone to make it. Dakku sighed at the insanity and stood up. He walked out the lunchroom and decided he would finish the period in the library. Kiba looked back at the table and noticed Dakku was gone. "Hmm? Where did he go?" Kiba turned back to the mob and fought his way back towards the front. Naruto finally broke out out of his line and looked at the table. "He's gone. Why did he leave?"

Image Problems?

Dakku had managed to get through the insane day unscathed. While everyone was deciding on who they would take, Dakku spent the day worried about passing his classes. He escaped home silently much to the dismay of Kiba who had something to talk to him about. As he sat at the kitchen table eating a pop-tart, Nasake came into the kitchen and looked at him. "Hey kiddo. You seem a bit out of it." Nasake sat down next to him and he nodded while biting his pop-tart. "Ew. She's right... you're just like me. You've got some stuff there... right there."

Dakku followed his finger and wiped the crumbs off his face. Nasake looked at the small radio playing in the corner. "Any reason it's playing and it's on mute? And for that matter since when did you study in the kitchen?" He looked at him and sighed. "If uo bust ow...-" He swallowed "If you must know... I have to make up some work in order to pass Basic Communications. Apparently, my talking skills are horrible." Nasake laughed and nodded. "I mean have you seen yourself talking with your mouth full? It's like staring at a cow."

He punched him in the shoulder for the comment and pulled out a book and opened it. "Plus I don't like the song on the radio. It's Say Anything by Cartel. I have this thing where I don't like songs that remind me of me." Nasake nodded. "Remind me not to lend you my Evanescence CD." Nasake laughed hard which scored him a push from Dakku. Dakku focused harder on his book. "Hey... seriously though... I heard you bailed after school. Any reason why?" Nasake gave him a concerned look. "Not really."

Nasake nodded. "Hey... I wanted to ask you. Are you gonna go to the End of the Year Ball?" Dakku reached over to the radio and put the volume up. "Okay. I get it. Trying to block me out. It's because you're afraid no one wants to go with you." He slammed his fist on the table. "OK! I got it. It's a big fucking deal and yes, I'm nervous. Because the one person I want to go with may not want to go with me." Nasake looked at Dakku and thought a moment. "Who do you want to go with?" Dakku paused and went back to his work.

"I'm busy." Nasake shook his head. "You're scared. You think that if Kiba takes someone else then that magical moment the last dance of the year brings won't be yours." Dakku looked back up. "How do you even know it's Kiba?" Nasakd shrugged. "It could have to do with the fact that you have an incredible crush on him. You two are practically Romeo and Juliet... well... more like... Romeo and the dude version of Juliet." Nasake laughed as he Dakku rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Dakku went back to his book and took some notes

Nasake sighed and pulled his brother up. "Stand. And if you fight me I'll kick your ass." Dakku took the hint from his face that he wasn't joking. Nasake looked at him and nodded. Dakku sighed as he waited. "Dakku... you're a good looking guy." "Ok. I'm done.. talk to you later." Nasake pulled him back as he tried to walk away. "Dakku listen you little prick. You're a good looking guy. And I'm pretty sure that Kiba would love to go with you. You two are really good together. A bit more then Kank and Kiba. Despite them being with each other longer."

"Is there a point to your damn rambling?" Dakku said as his impatience grew. "Yes there is. Even If Kiba doesn't ask you, I'm sure someone else will." Dakku broke his hold and walked off. "Don't want anyone else." Nasake heard as he climbed the stairs and slammed the door behind him. He sighed and looked at the table and saw his books there. "You forgot your books on the table." He heard the door open. "Fuck you!" The door slammed again. Nasake laughed and smiled. "He is soooo in love with Kiba."

The Unexpected Move

Naruto looked at Shikamaru the following morning. "Come on! Please... If I do it outright he might not accept it. But if you do it, he'll think I'm shy and he'll be flattered." Naruto begged him on his knees. Shikamaru gave him a confused look. "How do you really think this is gonna work? I mean seriously. Does he even like you?" Shika saw Naruto do puppy dog eyes and sighed. "This isn't going to work. Plus... he'll think wrong of me. You're troublesome, Naruto." Shikamaru looked on as Naruto grabbed his leg.

"PLEASE!? COME ON! I'LL BE YOU'RE BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!" Naruto begged as he clung to his leg. "Get off! I don't want anyone to see you holding my leg like a child. And plus I'm already you're friend." Naruto jumped off and smiled. "YAY! So you'll do it?" His eye were filled with joy. "I never agreed to that, Naruto." Naruto grabbed him and shook him. "Come on! Please!? Don't make me cry. I'll cry! If I cry everyone will see it!" Shikamaru looked at him noting his insanity.

"Even if I did... this plan is half baked and won't work. All I see is failure for it." Shikamaru add a hint of certainty to his words. Naruto shrugged. "I think it'll work. Gah! He's coming! Here!" He handed him an invitation and ran off fast. "Wait! What am I suppose to say!?" He looked around as Naruto disappeared. "Oh fuck. This is really a drag." He thought about what to say in Naruto's place and couldn't come up with anything. "This won't work." He thought as Dakku looked at him a bit lost.

"Why are you here so early? And why are you holding a random Ball invite in your hand." Shikamaru couldn't come up with any words to say. He handed the invite to Dakku who looked on stunned. "Is this... for me?" Dakku's eyes were wide open in confusion. Shikamaru nodded and sighed. "It's -" Dakku growled in anger. "Did Nasake put you up to this!?" Shikamaru jumped back in fear. "No... it wasn't him! It was -" Dakku's rage blew up. "I DON'T CARE! IT WAS A HORRIBLE FUCKING JOKE TO USE! BE LUCKY I DON'T RIP THIS DAMN THING APART!"

Dakku gave him back the invitation and walked up the stairs to his locker furious. Naruto came down the stairs smiling and he noticed a fuming Dakku go up the stairs. "Hey Da-" "STUFF IT KID!" Dakku said as he walked up the stairs. Naruto looked on stunned. "What I do!?" He ran down to Shikamaru who was looking at the invitation. "You... are an evil piece for 45 dollar paper." He muttered to himself. Naruto stood in front of him and shook him. "What happened!? Did he say yes!? No!? What happened!?"

Shikamaru grabbed Naruto by the collar. "You... owe... me... soooooo much." Naruto's eyes lit up with happiness. "HE SAID YES! YES! YES! You rule, Shikamaru!" Shikamaru let him go and he began doing a little happy dance. "WOOOOOOO! I got a date!" Shikamaru let him soak in the moment. Naruto giggled and laughed and point at him. "I told ya so. I told ya so. I told... ya... so!" Shikamaru nodded. "Oh! By the way... here. This is for you. The invitation Dakku so graciously turned down." He handed him the card and walked off. "He... said no?"

The Right Kind Of Yes

Dakku sat in his Sex Ed class still mad at the fiasco earlier with Shikamaru. Kiba looked at him and sighed. "Hey, Dak, can we talk after class?" He looked over at him a bit sharply. "You're not gonna waste my time right? Cause god help you if you do!" Kiba grumbled. "You know I have half the mind to knock you on your ass." Kiba said as he went back to his work. For the first time, Dakku regretted talking to him. He sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry. Sure. You can talk to me after class." Kiba looked at him and nodded.

He went back to his work making quick glances at him. "I feel like shit. I should have not snapped on him. God! I... I just wanna hold him and apologize so much." Dakku looked at his notes and noticed he had written Kiba's name at least 5 times on the same line. He sighed and laughed silently to himself. He erased them and went back to taking proper notes. As he did Kiba shot glances at him. "He must be angry at me or something. I hope... he'll forgive me if I did do something. I mean... it's not like someone's done what I'm gonna do."

The bell rang and everyone grabbed their things and left the room. Dakku went slowly as if to anticipate what might happen. He looked at Jiraiya who was collecting his things. "Dakku. You do know it's time to leave." Dakku looked down and nodded. "Sorry, sensei. I'll be quick." Dakku picked up his bag and walked out the room. As he walked out into the hall Kiba was leaning against the lockers next to the room and Dakku smiled. "You like making people wait." Dakku blushed and nodded. "It's one of my better talents."

Kiba laughed as watched as Jiraiya looked at them. "Odd." He walked towards the stairs and left the two alone on the floor. "Kiba... look I'm sorry. I just... I had a crappy moment today. And I didn't mean to take it out on you." Dakku said as he looked at the floor. Kiba sighed relieved. "Good. Cause I really thought I fucked up somewhere. I didn't want you mad before I asked you this." Dakku looked at him confused. "Ask me what?" Kiba reached into his pocket and pulled out an invitation.

His eyes lit up as Kiba handed it to him. "I want you to come with me as my date for the End of The Tear Ball. And if you say no, I'll just keep asking you. And I'll kick ass until I win you over." Kiba laughed and Dakku blushed and thought a moment. "Are you being serious with me?" Kiba grabbed him and kissed him. "About as serious as that kiss." Dakku looked away and blushed heavily. "I don't know... Kiba... I mean... it's my first time. I won't know what to do. Are you sure you want to take me when you can take someone else?"

"If I wanted someone else... we wouldn't be here talking." Kiba smiled and brush Dakku's hair aside. Dakku broke their hold and took the invitation. "If you're late by even a second... I'm getting a new date." He joked and Kiba yelled in excitement. Kiba lifted him into the air and spun him around happily. "Ok! Calm down! You're acting as if we got engaged or something. It's just a dance." Dakku laughed as Kiba put him down. Dakku smiled and walked off. Kiba followed him down the stairs repeating how excited he was.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The doors to the library opened and Naruto came out. He slid down against them and sighed. "He said yes to Kiba." He gave himself a defeated sigh and closed his eyes. "Why when I try to go after him... it blows up in my face? And when Kiba does something, it works perfectly." He cried to himself silently. He looked at a shadow standing over him and looked up. He stood up and looked at the person standing there. He wiped his tears away. The figure looked a him with a bit of pity. "It's okay... I'm fine... Gaara."

DF: Whoa... serious drama. I always feel bad about hurting Naruto in this story...

Anyways... Yay! Wolf High the RPG has a few players so far! I'm still hoping more of you will play! So in the meantime... back to working on the next episode!

Temari: I think so...
Nasake: OH! It's "If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield.
