Chapter 3
Mizani woke with a start in her bed. The room was completely dark
'Where I am??' she felt around to her right and found her phone and used it as a flashlight.
'Okey, I'm in my bed, I'm okey.' she thought running a hand through her head. Getting up she went across them room to her desk where a lamp sat and turned it on.
'How many times do I have to tell Kakashi to leave the friggin' on?'
Looking around on the desk she found pictures strewn across it. 'I really need to put these on my wall.' she thought looking at the poster full of pictures over her bed.
Her stomach grumbled. 'Guess it's time for a little mid-night snack.' she thought opening the door and carefully making her way down the stairs.
^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^
Gaara's slowly opened his eyes as he awoke from his peaceful sleep.
'I haven't slept that good in a while..' he felt his pocket vibrate from his phone.
Taking out the phone he say he had a text message from Sasuke. Hitting read he read.
'Told your sister you were at my house. Ttyl.'
Gaara's mind still a little foggy from sleep looked around him, 'Oh, I'm still at Mizani's.' he yawned and walked to the kitchen.
'I'm kinda thirsty...' he thought opening the fridge and grabbing a can of Pepsi.
Closing the door he yawned once again closing his eyes and ran into someone.
His eyes flew open and stared into blue eyes.
"AAHHH!" the person shouted. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house??"
The only light in the room was coming from the little bit of moon coming in the window.
"Mizani?" Gaara asked.
"Gaara?" the voice asked.
Footsteps were heard then the lights came on.
"It is you." Mizani said, "Man, I didn't know who you were." she sat the knife down she had grabbed.
"Do you think we woke anybody up?" Gaara asked.
"No. Everybody sleeps like the dead here especially when Iruka and Kakashi-" she stopped, "I'm not even going to go there.." she said shaking her head.
Gaara chuckled, "What are you doing up at," he looked at the time on the microwave, "3:15 in the morning?"
"Well I woke up then I got really hungry so decided to come down here and get something to eat. What are you still doing here? I thought you left."
"I guess I fell asleep and Sasuke decided to let me sleep here. He told my sister I was staying at his house."
"Oohh.. okey." she said going over to the freezer and pulling out a bag. "Want some chicken nuggets?"
"No thank you." Gaara said.
"Okey." she said getting a plate from the cabinet and sitting a handful of chicken nuggets on the plate and put them in the microwave.
"Did you sleep good?" Gaara asked leaning against the island.
"I was.. until I woke up with a start to a pitch dark room."
"What in the world?"
"I don't know." she said laughing.
Gaara chuckled.
"What about you?"
"I actually slept pretty good. For the first time in a while."
She tilted her head to the side, and asked the question he had asked previously, "What in the world?"
'Doesn't she look cute?' Gaara thought. "I'm a bit of and insomniac."
"Man that's got to suck. I love to sleep."
"It does sometimes." Gaara said nodding. "Your chicken nuggets are done." he said right before they dinged.
"Psychic now are we?" she asked playfully waking over to the microwave. "Ow, hot. Hot. Hot." she stated taking the plate out.
"Be careful." Gaara said.
"I've got it." Mizani said sitting them beside Gaara and going to the fridge to grab the ketchup. "Ugh, why Naruto likes ketchup on his pizza I'll never know." she turned to Gaara, "Be right back."
He nodded. As soon as she walked out her phone rang.
"I set I set my friends my friends on fire I saw your grave I do not feel alive.."
"Can you answer that?" Mizani called from the living room.
"Okey." he called and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Mizani, I have so much to- hey wait, who's this?" the female voice said.
"Gaara. May I ask who this is."
"I'm Fayree. Why are you answering Miz's phone?"
"Because she is currently hunting down the ketchup in the living room."
"Why is she- you know I'm not even going to ask."
"Who called?" Mizani asked walking back in the kitchen.
"Fayree." he said handing her the phone.
"Fay, you do know it's almost 3:30 in the morning here right?" she asked into the phone.
"Well it's like 8 in the night here and why do you have some guy answering your phone at 3 in the morning?"
"Fay, I'm a call you later when it's a good time for both of us okey. Then I'll explain everything."
"Miz, I hate when you do this-"
"Bye Fay." Miz said closing the phone. "I have strange friends."
"Your friends with Naruto. I understand." Gaara said.
Mizani laughed.
"So where do you want to go on our date?"
Mizani stopped laughing. "You were serious about that?"
Gaara nodded.
"Oh... Ummm I don't know....Surprise me."
"Alright. I'll surprise you then." he said and walked back to the living room.
"Okey then..." Mizani said picking up her plate, the bottle of ketchup and a Pepsi from the fridge. She then made her way up the stairs sneaking a glance at Gaara who was laying on the couch his eyes closed.
'Good night Gaara.' she thought climbing the rest of the stairs to her room.
The Next Day:
"Sasuke I need you to do me a favor."
The raven's eye brow rose, "And what would that be?"
"I need you to keep Mizani distracted while I talk to Naruto."
"Why?"
"Because I need to talk to him."
"Why?"
"Because I need to ask him a few questions."
"Wh-?"
"Uchiha! Could you just do this one thing for me?" Gaara said exasperated.
Sasuke glanced at him, "No problem."
The two pulled in the parking lot of school right beside Mizani and Naruto.
"Hey guys!" Naruto said waving.
Gaara sighed and muttered, "I'm going to need a cigarette before the days over..." as he climbed out of the car and grabbed his book bag.
"Hey Gaara." Mizani said getting out of her own car and smiling at him.
"Hey." he said giving her a small smile. 'I may rethink that whole needing a cigarette.'
"Mizani come here a sec would you?" Sasuke said.
"Alrighty." she said putting her bag over her shoulder and walking over to the raven.
"Naruto, I need to talk to you." Gaara said.
"What'd you need?" the blonde asked.
"What's all of Mizani's favorite things?"
"Like what?"
"I know her favorite colors and bands. But I need more than that?"
"Why?" he asked.
Gaara resisted the urge to twitch his eye, 'What's with everyone asking why?' "Because I'm taking her on a date tonight."
"Oh, you were serious about that?"
'How can they not to related?' "Yes, so what should I do?"
"Well I know she's a big fan of Italian food. She loves ice cream, especially Dairy Queen's, umm... she's always wanted to play Dance Dance Revolution, but never had the guts. She likes walking around, like down the beach and nature walks.. I can't really think of anything else.."
"Thanks, that'll help a lot." Gaara said nodding his head, a plan already forming.
"Your welcome." Naruto said as Gaara started walking away, "Hey Gaara."
Gaara turned around, "Make it special for her. She's been through a lot. And this would be good for her."
Gaara smirked, "I will."
^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^
"He was serious about the whole taking you on a date thing?"
"Obviously." Mizani said sliding in her desk.
'That's why he wanted to talk to Naruto...' "Wow.. he's going soft on me." Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Oh you can't say anything. I've seen you getting all soft when it comes to Naruto." Mizani said.
"I don't know what your talking about."
"You said the same thing the other day."
Sasuke was quiet for a minute, "Whatever." he said.
Gaara and Naruto walked in just as the bell rung.
"Okey class." Ms. Jean said. "This morning I just got the news that were going to be doing a play."
The class started talking among themselves.
"Hey! I'm not finished yet." Ms. Jean said.
The class quieted down and she continued, "Today were going to start casting parts."
"Ms. J, what play are we doing?" Kiba asked.
"Oh were doing Aladdin."
The class busted out into more talking.
"HEY!"
The class stopped talking.
"Now, all those for the part of Aladdin and Jasmine, please line up."
All the girls jumped up except Mizani and another girl with long black hair, pale eyes and skin.
"Your not going to go out for the part?" Naruto asked.
"Nah." she said leaning back.
"But you've always wanted to play her ever since you saw the movie. You even had that little outfit you wore all the time when you were-"
Naruto was interrupted by Mizani jumping over the desk to cover his mouth. "I'd advise you not to open your mouth again." she said.
He nodded as she got up from on top of him and went back to her seat.
"You should go out for it." Gaara said, "I'm going out for Aladdin."
"I'll think about it." she said.
About 20 minutes later:
"Mizani did you say you wanted to try out for the part?" Ms. Jean asked.
"I was-"
"You know you don't have to go and embarrass yourself if you don't want to. " Sakura said.
"Oh, I don't think it's me who I'll be embarrassed." Mizani said with a smirk. "Naruto could you come help me with my music?"
"Sure." he said jumping up on stage and grabbed a guitar. "You doing the song I think your doing?"
"Yep." Mizani said taking the mic.
Naruto grinned and started the beat.
"All the time I turn around
Bothas gather around
Always looking me up and down
Looking at my
I just wanna say now
I aint trying to round up drama
Little mama I don't wanna take your man
And I know I'm coming off
As a little bit conceited
And I keep on repeating
How the boys wanna eat it
But I'm tryin' to tell
That I won't be treated like clientele
Cause they say she's delicious
But I ain't promiscuous
And if you was suspiciou
All that shit is fictitious
I blow kisses (Mwah)
That puts them on rock, rock
And they be lining down the block
Just to watch what I got..."
The class busted out in a round of applause.
"We have found our Jasmine!" Ms. Jean said.
Saukra's mad face got madder at this news.
Mizani winked at her and waved as she stormed off the stage.
"Okey, Gaara you wanted to go for Aladdin isn't that right?"
He nodded his head. "Alright show us what you got." she said.
He took the guitar from Naruto and started to play.
"You're all I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home,
You're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
Because I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it..."
"Amazing as usual!" Ms. Jean said, "We have our Jasmine and Aladdin." she gestured to Gaara and Mizani who were standing on the stage.
"Now. Since were not going to have animals in this, were going to turn the animals human. With that said I'm going to call out those parts." she looked down at her clipboard.
"Rajah is now Raja is played by Hinata. Abu is played by Naruto, Iago is played by Sai. The Genie is Rock Lee. Jafar is Shino. And we are going to have a few new characters because we can't have it exactly like the movie. They will be posted on the bulletin board during study hall."
The bell rung.
"Okey class your homework tonight is to go watch Aladdin. And get a feel for your parts. Have a good day!" the teacher said waving to her class.
"How exactly did I get roped into being the lead for this play?" Mizani asked.
"Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to play the dizzy princess. With Jasmine you can act like yourself. You know stubborn, defiant, bossy. Those things." Naruto said shrugging.
"Well thanks a lot Naruto." the young girl said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"I'm sure he meant it in a good way." Gaara said coming to stand beside her.
"Oh hey Gaara! Come here I remembered something else." Naruto said.
"What is it?" the red head asked quietly coming to stand beside the blonde.
"She'll never admit it but she's a sucker for roses. I remember this one time Kakashi and Iruka got her some. Oh man she would let go of either of them that whole night."
"Thank you for that bit of information. Any particular color?"
"She loves purple roses, but we haven't been able to find any. So her next favorite are the really dark red kind, it may be creepy, but the best way to describe them is like the color of blood."
Gaara nodded as they walked into their next class. And sat down beside Mizani.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. Nothing really special happening. Everybody gathered around the bulletin broad as the study hall bell rung.
"Cool. I get to be the Sultan." Sasuke said looking at the paper.
"Just because your playing the part, don't think your going to start acting all high and mighty." Gaara said.
"And just because you playing my daddy, don't mean you is my daddy." Mizani said.
"I knew your parents should've never let you go to America with us." Naruto said shaking his head.
"If I hadn't of gone, I would've never meet my bestest friend in the whole wide world." she said crossing her arms.
"You mean that crazy chick who scares me??" the blonde asked.
"Do not call Fay crazy... you know how she gets."
"I really don't get how you all are friends."
"Isn't Fay who I talked to last night?" Gaara asked
"Yep. She was the odd person you were talking to."
"She's scary. Not odd." Naruto said.
"The only reason she scares you is because she kicked your ass back then in front of all the kids on the playground." Mizani said matter-of-factly.
"And? She still scares the shit out of me." Naruto grumbled crossing his arms.
"Come on guys. Let's go watch Aladdin." Sasuke said.
"Oh! I've got it! Its in my room." Mizani said.
"Then looks like were heading back to your house." Gaara said.
"Oh Sasuke, Gaara."
The 2 boys rolled their eyes while the one girl narrowed hers.
"I thought you might want to come watch Aladdin at my house. My parents are out of town." Sakura said.
Mizani opened her mouth to say something but was stopped by Gaara's hand on her shoulder, "We thank you for the offer, but we've already made plans to go to Mizani and Naruto's house. It would be much easier seems how me and Mizani have a date afterward."
Sakura looked like she had just been slapped in the face. She quickly recovered though. "Oh. I see. Well hope you all have fun." with that she walked off towards the exit.
"Oh man! Did you see her face! That shit was priceless!" Naruto said laughing.
"I know. It looked like we had slapped her or something." Mizani said laughing also.
"Come on. Let's go watch this movie." Sasuke said walking the opposite way that Sakura had took towards the parking lot.
"Do you even know where the movie is?" Naruto asked Mizani.
"Yep. It's in my room."
"Have you not seen your room lately? It looks like it was hit by a tornado."
"I'll find it. It's in the closet in that box in the corner..... I think...."
Naruto shook his head, "When are you going to clean it?"
"What does it matter to you? It's not like your gonna be in there."
"Whatever.." Naruto said getting into the car.
"Hey. What's with that whatever huh?" Mizani asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all."
Mizani's eyes narrowed. "You do know you are riding in MY car. Right?"
Naruto jumps out of the car and runs to stand behind Sasuke. "Do you think I could ride with you...?" he asked.
"Sure hop in." Sasuke said smirking.
"I'll ride with Mizani then." Gaara said walking to the door Naruto had left open, "If that's okey with you." he said to Mizani.
"It's fine." Mizani said climbing into the car, followed by Gaara.
After she got in the car and closed the door as she started the car.
Naruto opened the door to Sasuke's car and climbed in.
"What's with Mizani?" Sasuke asked getting in the car.
"I don't know. I think she's PMS-ing. She scary as hell when she is."
"Should I worry for my friends safety while their out on their date?" Sasuke asked as he started up the car.
"Nah, I doubt she'll go off on him." Naruto said picking up the lighter in the cup holder. "You smoke?"
"Nope. That's Gaara's. I'm surprised he didn't grab one. He's usually ready to smoke about two or three down."
"Wow." Naruto said.
"He's insomniac and cigarettes are the only thing we've found that calm him down... Although since yesterday I haven't really since him smoke one..." Sasuke said thoughtfully.
"You really care about your friends don't you?" Naruto said looking at him.
Sasuke looked at him out of the counter of his eye and smirked, "What can I say? I've known the guy since we were like 10. Friends like that kinda grow on you."
"I know what your mean." Naruto said. "Do you mind if I put some music on?"
"No. go right ahead. "
"I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss"
"I love this song." Naruto and Sasuke said at the same time. They looked at each other, smiled and started singing:
"Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head..."
The two sung the whole way to Naruto's and Mizani's house.
Well there's another chapter for you!
What's up with Mizani? Where are her and Gaara going on there date? What's going to go on between Naruto and Sasuje while they're gone? Why am I asking so many quesrions??? {Because I don't know what's going to happen myself n-n'}
