Author's Note:

Greetings loved ones. Did you miss me? Cuz I sure as hell missed you guys! It's been far too long since i last wrote and I deeply apologize for this. Unfortunately my laptop broke the day after I posted Chapter 5 and I haven't been able to get a replacement computer until very recently. Anyways, enough excuses, on with number 6!

The morning after:

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Naruto woke out of a dream of rockin' the stage and beautiful groupies to his alarm blaring again.

"Fuck this thing!" he shouted, throwing the clock out the window. It continued beeping on his lawn, forcing him to go out, shut it off, and return it to it's place next to his bed.

"Well that killed five minutes, what's on TV?" he wondered aloud as he grabbed some instant ramen and flipped the channel to MTV.

What came on shocked him to say the least. The girls of Off Limits were going to do another interview within the hour.

Naruto immediately dialed Sasuke, who answered almost as it went to voicemail, "Dobe this had better be good."

"It is teme," Naruto said back, still watching the TV. "Get over here quick, Off Limits is gonna do another interview."

"Ok, so? Are you their official stalker all of a sudden? Or are you thinking of becoming a screaming fanboy?"

"Fuck you, and seriously though, what if the mention us?"

"Why would they?"

"I don't know, but what's there to lose if they don't? We gotta get the guys together anyways, we got practice at Kakashi's in a few hours anyway."

"I guess," Sasuke said, bored, "call the guys and get them over." He hung up.

Naruto started calling each member of Strike Package. Neji answered quickly, sounding fully and totally awake. Shikamaru answered on the second attempt, sounding tired but he agreed to come over. Kiba however was a problem. Naruto called three times and got voice three times. At this point, the rest of the crew showed up, Sasuke staying away from Neji, Neji looking at Naruto's messy house with disinterest, and Shikamaru passed out on Naruto's favorite chair.

"Kiba isn't answering," Naruto began, "the dumbass is probably still asleep."

"Let's go and wake him then," Neji suggested.

"Ok. Shika! Wake up!" Naruto said, walking toward the door with Neji and Sasuke.

All three looked back to see Shikamaru still sleeping hard on Naruto's chair. Naruto looked at the other two with a classic mischevious grin.

"Dobe, don't piss him off before we have to go rehearse," Sasuke stated, a similar smirk on his face.

"Too late!" Naruto stated as he quickly tiptoed towards Shikamaru and crouched next to his ear. He took a deep breath.

"Don't even think about it Naruto," Shikamaru said without opening his eyes.

Naruto shouted and jumped back, tripping over the couch and landing on his head.

"How the hell did you do that?" he shouted as both Neji and Sasuke chuckled.

"I'm a ninja, wasn't that obvious?" Shikamaru said sarcastically.

"Wait, you're a ninja?" Naruto asked, wide-eyed.

"Troublesome."

"Can we go and get Kiba before the interview starts?" Neji asked, still smirking at Naruto.

With that, the four left Naruto's house-Shikamaru somewhat reluctantly-and piled into Neji's 2008 Chrysler 300 and made their way toward Kiba's house.

"Damn Neji," Naruto began as he jumped out of the car, looking sick, "you must've ran ever stop sign on the way!"

"What's the matter Naruto," Neji began in a mock surprise tone, "are you afraid of a little speed?"

"Little? You were doing 75 in a 30! I didn't even think that car could go that fast!"

"At least that cop didn't catch the plate number."

"The Flash couldn't've caught that plate number!" Naruto yelled as Sasuke and Shikamaru stepped out of the car. Sasuke looked normal, slightly paler but normal. Shikamaru however stumbled out of the car and flopped face first on the grass. The rest heard snoring from him and decided to leave him there.

"Hey Kiba Inuzuka!" Naruto shouted, having reached his door first, "get your lazy ass up, it's the FBI! We're here because you've got some seriously fucked-up shit on your computer!" Sasuke face-palmed and Neji shook his head.

The group then heard frantic noises and loud cursing from inside the house.

"Now open up before we break down the door!" Naruto yelled, doing a passable imitation of an angry FBI agent.

Kiba slowly opened the door, white-faced and wide-eyed. Despite their disapproval of the joke, Sasuke and Neji immediately started laughing at the look on Kiba's face, while Naruto laughed immoderately, surely waking neighbors.

"What the? Oh fuck I am gonna kill you Naruto!" Kiba shouted, immediately jumping Naruto and wrestling around on the ground.

"Oh, which porn did you learn this from?" Naruto asked between laughs.

Akamaru ran out of the door and began joining in on the fight, barking happily.

"Oo, Akamaru's joining? Kinky!" Naruto laughed, now short on breath from laughing, and the fact that Kiba had a firm grip on his neck.

In their brawl, the three managed to roll over to where Shikamaru was sleeping. They rolled over him and he woke with a start.

"Dammit Naruto, a guy can't get any sleep around here can he?" he shouted, knocking Naruto on the head and effectively breaking up the duel.

"Sorry Shika, but Kiba was showing me this new move he found on this movie he downloaded the other night," Naruto laughed while sitting cross-legged, a large lump on his forehead.

"Cuz you'd know all about that wouldn't you Naruto?" Kiba smirked, grabbing his friends outstrechted hand and pulling him to his feet.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru mumbled as he walked with Naruto and Kiba up to Neji and Sasuke.

"So what was the point of waking me up with threats of taking my porn away?" Kiba asked, grinning.

"Off Limits is gonna do another interview in about 15 minutes!" Naruto burst out.

"Oh. Wait, aren't they that all chick band that had an interview like...two days ago?"

"Yeah, but they're doing another one!"

"Why?"

"Naruto thinks that they might mention us," Sasuke said as he explained to Neji and Shikamaru their meeting Off Limits and then the demonstration that found them Kiba and more free exposure than should be legal.

"Sweet dude! They're gonna mention us!" he and Naruto body bumped energetically at this.

"Maybe, but we'll never know if we don't get back to Naruto's to watch it. He lives closer to Kakashi than you Kiba, so we're gonna go watch it at his place then hit the shack for a session," Neji said calmly.

"Well what're we doin' here? Let's go!" Kiba yelled as he ran inside, grabbed his gear, locked up, and was out in record time.

"Wait," Kiba said as the group got back into Neji's car, "doesn't Naruto live...like 20 minutes away?"

Neji smirked as he started the car, "I don't think that will be a problem."

Kiba soon learned exactly what Neji meant, and as they pulled up Naruto's driveway, Kiba and Akamaru jumped out of the car and immediately began kissing the ground.

"Holy shit! I've never been happier to see this shit-hole!"

Akamaru barked his agreement, rolling in Naruto's front yard happily.

"Hey! I'm standing right here!" Naruto yelled.

"I don't care! Neji's a mad-man!"

"Well we're agreed there," Naruto said, stumbling toward his front door and unlocking it.

Neji chuckled as the rest of the team walked into Naruto's still dirty house.

"Gotta hand it too you Neji, we did make it here with five to spare," Shikamaru said, lazily flopping into Naruto's favorite chair again.

Naruto saw this, shook his head, and walked behind the chair, and unceremoniously flipped the chair, dropping it and a very annoyed Shikamaru to the ground. He proceeded to pick it up, drop it back in it's general area, and drop into it himself.

"Fuck...you...Naruto," Shikamaru said, face down on Naruto's floor.

"You wish Shika; Sasuke, flip over to MTV."

Sasuke shook his head, chuckling at Naruto's childish antics, and changed the channel to MTV.

On the TV:

"Alright metalheads, we're back and, as promised, Off Limits is back in the studio for a special interview. Ladies, great to have you back."

"See Sakura, told you no-one would think it's odd we're back so soon," Ino said confidently, smirking at her pink-haired bandmate.

"Well to be fair, it was kinda expected, I mean, what with you girls center stage in that video taken downtown just a few days ago."

"Huh?" TenTen asked, obviously at a loss for words.

"You haven't seen the video yet?" The interviewer asked, stunned slightly.

"No, we've been at the studio all day and night for the last week, what's the video of?" Temari asked cautiously.

"Well, see for yourself," the guy signaled someone off camera and the moniter behind the girls snapped to life. On it was an amatuer video of Strike Package's performance downtown. Needless to say, it was focused on the unflattering image of the five girls in a state of pure shock. Ok, two were in shock, two were in the growing mosh pit, and one was passed out cold.

As soon as the video ended the camera panned back to Off Limits and it was almost like deja vu, TenTen and Sakura had looks of pure shock, Temari and Ino were cheering excitedly, recounting that day, and Hinata had slipped into a half-faint out of shock.

"It seemed kinda obvious that since that video's blown up so much on YouTube you girls'd be here to give us some insight," the man said.

The five girls looked at each other, Sakura joining them after waking Hinata, with surprised looks.

Ino spoke first, "How many views has this got?"

"Hold on...looks like we're up to...two and a half million and rising every second."

"Wow..." Sakura said, stunned.

"Wow's right," Temari spoke up, "well, I guess the best thing to say in this situation is, WHO IN THE FLAMING (censored) PUT THIS UP!"

"AH!" the interviewer jumped about 3 feet in the air, "looks like...BBQLover23."

Naruto shot up at this with wide eyes and a huge grin, "That's Choji!"

"Seriously?" asked Sasuke.

"Yeah, who else would use the name BBQLover? Hold on, I gotta call him!"

Naruto dialed Choji's number and put him on speaker, only to have an uncontrollable laughter come outta the phone, "What'd you think of the video bro?" Choji said between laughs.

"It was you!" Naruto said with an equally raccous laugh, "Choji, I owe you big-fuckin'-time man!"

"No worries Naruto, least I can do to help a friend," Choji said joyfully, "just don't forget to gimme front row tickets when you get famous."

"Now you're dreaming, front row's reserved for the groupies my friend," Naruto said smirking.

"That's cold," Choji remarked, still chuckling, "hey, I gotta go, I'm on duty right now, hit me up when you guys're playing another show alright?"

"For sure Cho, one love big man."

"Adios."

As Naruto hung up, the others smirked happily, "This Choji guy is a freaking hero man!" Kiba shouted excitedly.

"I agree, he just scored us some huge publicity," Neji said, smirking.

"No doubt, we owe him some BBQ some time," Shikamaru said with a lazy smirk.

"Guys," Sasuke interupted, "interview."

With that, the five returned their attention to the screen.

Back to the TV:

"Well, hillarious faces aside, you girls seemed very impressed by this new mystery band Strike Package, what's the deal with them?"

"Well, we actually met them by complete accident. The two of them were handing out flyers, so I called em over and we started chatting about their upcoming performance," Sakura said, a slight smile coming over her face at the memory.

"Chatting, you and that guy Sasuke were flirting outta control!" Ino yelled, teasing Sakura, who just face-palmed.

"Not to mention our little Hinata who couldn't take her pretty little eyes off Naruto," Temari joined in grinning.

Hinata turned beet red at this statement, "I w-was n-not!" she stuttered, embarrased.

Naruto grinned and turned slightly pinker as the four around him wolf-whistled and cat-called at this news.

"Two of them, from what I heard they've got a full line-up now. Word on the street is that they managed to pick up a bassist almost immediately after their show and their effects and drums guys followed suit within the same week," the interviewer commented.

"Hm, that's quick. I'm reasonably impressed," Temari said, smirking.

Ino chuckled and suddenly got a devious look in her eyes, "And, on behalf of Off Limits, I'd like to extend an invitation to dear friends Strike Package, come down to our personal studio this Friday at noon and we'll see just what you're made of."

Loud roaring could be heard on TV as the audience showed their approval of Ino's bold statement. Her sentiments were soon mirrored by the other four girls, much to the audiences joy. The interviewer was soon pulled aside by a manager and grinned, "And as an added bonus, MTV will be covering the event live and in person come Friday!"

"Well you heard it here first, Strike Package has officially caught the world's attention, the question is, do they deserve it?"

With those last words, the show switched to some reality show, but the five men watching the TV all had shocked and awed looks on their faces.

Neji spoke first, "Did we just get invited to play a live show with Off Limits on live TV? Like, LIVE live TV?"

The rest were silent for a second, "I thinks so..." Shikamaru spoke up, wide awake and alert. (Damn, he really must be stoked! XP)

There was quiet for another three seconds befor Naruto's house nearly blew up from the raccous cheering and shouting that erupted.

"HOLY SHIT DUDE, WE'RE PLAYING ON MTV!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Yeah we are!" Kiba shouted as he and Akamaru jumped on Naruto and started wrestling around in joy.

And with that, the five spilled outta Naruto's house, headed for Neji's car and then to Kakashi's to work on their material for the show, eager to prove to the world just how much they deserve this one in a lifetime shot.

Author's Notes:

Holy shit, I'M BACK BITCHES! Y'all miss me? I hated not updating in so long, you guys gotta forgive me, money's been tight lately and this is the soonest I could get my laptop in decent working order. I can't believe how good it feels to write again! And expect more frequent updates, I gotta make this up to my fellow metalheads somehow. And remember one thing:

You Can't Kill The Metal!
