Thank you Akuma-chan no Otaku for reviewing, you are now 2 of 5 reviews away from the first marker! Sorry, that wasn't what the key was.
I have come to a decision on how long this will last. For every 1 regular reviewer (a reviewer who sends in a request every episode), I will post 5 chapters! So, at this rate, there will be 10 chapters!
Lights turned on to reveal a stage with Koharu and Tenshi sitting comfortably on a couch with the Jar of Doom right between them.
"Hello everyone, welcome to our show," Koharu called with a wave. Tenshi snapped her fingers so the lights would turn on at the other side of the stage. Once those lights were turned on, everyone could see a small lounge set up with Tsunade, Jiraiya, Gaara, Kankuro, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Gai, Lee, Neji, Karin, Jugo, Suigetsu, Sasori, Deidara, Itachi, Sai, and Shikamaru sitting around the deep blue couches. "Let's get right into all of this with the truths portion!"
She snapped her fingers and the Chair rose from a platform in the middle of the stage. Koharu stood and walked over to the Chair, flipping through her blue note cards.
"Tsunade!" Koharu called in a sing song voice. Tsunade tensed, but stood from her spot in between Jiraiya and Sakura. She lazily walked over to the Chair and allowed it to pull herself to it. "You seem very tired, are you alright?"
"I'm not used to not drinking," Tsunade yawned.
"Well, try to stay awake for your questions," Koharu said sternly. Tsunade yawned, but nodded a little. "Why do you like sake so much, Tsunade?"
"It gives me energy and it tastes good after the first few cups," Tsunade answered in a tired slur. Koharu looked over at Tenshi with a curious look. Tenshi sighed and reached into the Jar next to her. She stood as she pulled out a blow horn. She walked up to the Chair and placed the blow horn next to Tsunade's ear. Koharu covered her ears as Tenshi pulled the trigger on the loud toy, causing a loud siren noise to fill the stage. Tsunade jerked and looked around with wide eyes. Tenshi backed away slowly, trying not to draw attention to herself as she escaped. Koharu snapped in Tsunade's face in order to draw the blonde's attention.
"It is probably an obvious question, but how are you feeling with alcohol in your system?" Koharu asked her, smiling slightly at the much older woman. Tsunade just glared at her and rested her head against the back of the Chair. "You have to answer in words Tsunade or the Chair will activate its defenses."
"I'm tired, damn it," Tsunade cursed in a growl. "Now leave me alone."
"Sorry, two more questions to go," Koharu said with a small laugh. Tsunade groaned at the thought of more questions. "Is there a drinking age in Konoha?"
"Of course there is," Tsunade huffed softly. "Unless a guardian gives it to them, anyone under the age of 21 can't drink."
"Like in America," Koharu murmured, a small smile forming on her lips.
"Let me go," Tsunade moaned, her head rolling left and right against the back of the Chair.
"One more question," Koharu said, trying to get the older woman to be patient. Tsunade sighed and looked at Koharu as if to tell her to hurry up with the question. "What was it like growing up with Jiraiya and Orochimaru as your team?"
"It was more annoying than being the Hokage without being able to gamble," Tsunade groaned out, wishing she had free control of her hands. There was a short pause before Tsunade groaned. "Why the fuck am I watching Orochimaru dance?"
"Y-You didn't answer truthfully," Koharu said, everyone but Jiraiya clearly shocked to find that she was lying.
"It was annoying," Tsunade insisted. There was another short pause as a look of utter annoyance appeared on Tsunade's face. "Stop this stupid song, it's almost as stupid as Jiraiya."
"Hey!" Jiraiya called out, obviously taking offense to her words.
"Just tell the truth and it'll stop," Koharu informed her slowly.
"Being on their team was the most annoying thing on the planet!" Tsunade insisted through gritted teeth. There was another short pause as everyone waited for her to be released before Tsunade groaned. "Why the fuck am I watching sake bottles dance?"
"The Chair's level three defense must've kicked in," Tenshi said, reading an owner's manual for the Chair. "It shows whatever the person most wants dancing in front of them, completely out of their reach."
"Just tell the truth you old hag!" Jiraiya yelled at his old team mate.
"Like hell that isn't the truth!" Tsunade yelled back at him, obviously angered that he called her an old hag. "You two annoyed the hell out of me every day and still do!"
"Yeah, right!" Jiraiya yelled in protest. "Just admit that you loved playing pranks on sensei and going on missions with us! Hell, you even organized poker nights with us when we weren't on missions or training!"
"Fine! I'll admit it," Tsunade called out. "I had fun when we were kids and an actual team, but now you guys annoy the fuck out of me and I want to hurt both of you nearly every day."
There was a slight pause and everyone thought that the level four defenses would activate, but Tsunade was forced out of the Chair. Everyone looked at her in surprise as she stood to walk back to the lounge and a smirking Jiraiya.
"I'm going to murder you later," Tsunade muttered as she sat back in her seat.
"O-Okay," Koharu murmured, slightly confused by the older blonde. She turned back to the Chair and patted it. "Good job getting that out of her."
The Chair seemed to move at her touch. Koharu smiled as she drew out her cards again. "Kakashi, you're next up!"
Kakashi stood and walked over to the Chair, sitting in it before the straps could attack him. The straps slid around him and held him close to the Chair.
"Now, Kakashi, it was asked that we find out what it is like for you to have Team 7 as your squad," Koharu with a smile. Kakashi sighed and thought for a moment.
"It is never boring with them around," he finally said. Koharu blinked, waiting for him to continue. The two stared at each other for a moment before Koharu flipped to the next question. Kakashi tensed, ready for the Chair to fling him out of it, becoming surprised when it didn't do so.
"Kakashi, do you ever wish that you didn't pass them during the bell test?" Koharu asked, frowning slightly at the question.
"I used to when they were first starting out, but they've grown so much from our missions that I wouldn't change it," Kakashi answered, surprising everyone by how sentimental he was with his answer. Koharu turned towards the lounge when she heard a sob only to see Naruto crying with Sakura sobbing next to him. Sasuke looked at his old team with mild surprise, but no other emotion showed on his face at the answer his old teacher gave.
"How heartwarming," Koharu sighed as she flipped to the next question, Tenshi glaring at the still cold hearted Sasuke. "Now, Kakashi, do you have a secret girlfriend that you've been hiding from all of us?"
"Not at all," Kakashi said. Everyone waited for the Chair to activate and were surprised when it just released him from its hold.
"I knew it!" Naruto yelled, trying to do a small jig while still handcuffed to Sasuke. Kakashi stood from the floor and walked back to the lounge to sit with everyone again.
"Now we-" Koharu was cut off from bringing in the next questioned by a bright light forming above everyone. Koharu smiled when the bright light disappeared to reveal Gaara floating down to them with a scowl on his face. "She turned you back to normal."
"Why was he late?" Tenshi asked, coming from the couch to her friend who was now examining an annoyed Gaara.
"I don't know, probably the key," Koharu murmured. She pulled out the Shrink Star Wand and gave it a wave before Gaara could stop her. ChibiGaara glared up at her from the ground, where he was now sitting. "Oh, I turned him even younger than before."
"Is that so bad?" Tenshi said, eyeing the now three year old as he moved to stand. "At least he won't try to hurt anyone."
"True," Koharu said as she scooped him up into her arms. Gaara looked at her curiously as she held him close to her. Koharu smiled at him and tapped his nose, making the little boy crinkle his nose. "Do you want to help us Gaara?"
"Wahnt," ChibiGaara said, waving his small hands. Koharu turned to Tenshi with a broad smile.
"Look! We have another little host!" she said cheerfully. Tenshi sighed as she stepped forward to take ChibiGaara from her friend before the older girl squeezed Gaara to death. Koharu pouted a little as Gaara left her arms. "Be good for Mama Tenshi, Gaara, and you can help her with her little requests."
"You're really going to let him help me?" Tenshi asked, her eyebrow raised at her friend. Koharu smiled when Gaara began to chant "Gewd" over and over again. Tenshi sighed softly at the small boy's antics. "Fine, but only if he behaves during the rest of your portion."
"Bye Gaara!" Koharu called to the little boy. Gaara waved at her as Tenshi carried him back to the couch. Koharu turned back to the lounge with a pleased sigh. She grinned at the Naruto cast. "Alright, Sasuke, you're next!"
Sasuke stood from his seat, where he had been glaring at Itachi for the past few minutes while the hosts were busy with Gaara. Sasuke slowly walked over to the Chair with Naruto struggling to keep his footing straight next to Sasuke and sat down, glaring at the two hosts as he was bound to the Chair by its straps.
"Sasuke, our dear duck butt," Tenshi said in a deep chuckle as she brought out a key to release Naruto for as long as Sasuke was in the Chair, the blonde rushing back to his spot in the lounge. Gaara looked up at Tenshi and mimiced the smile that was on her face. Sasuke glanced at Tenshi and Gaara with slight worry in his eyes at the devilish look on their faces.
"Why did you cut Itachi?" Koharu asked before Tenshi could vocalize what was on her mind. Sasuke sighed softly before he thought about his answer, thankful for Koharu stepping in before he was powerless in the hand of the younger host.
"I don't know, I guess I hated him even then," Sasuke answered, trying to shrug but found that the straps kept even his shoulders from moving. Itachi could be seen with his head lowered and his shoulders shaking. Koharu raised her eyebrow in wonder, looking at Tenshi for help. Tenshi, with Gaara somehow on her back, slid over to the lounge and stood behind Itachi. Without warning, she pulled his face up to see that he was actually laughing softly. Tenshi pursed her lips as she let go of him, deciding to slap the back of his head as she left with Gaara copying the motion. Koharu turned back to Sasuke after nodding her thanks to her friend.
"Sasuke, do you think you are better than Itachi?" Koharu asked him, flipping through her cards to read the next few questions.
"Of course I am," he said confidently. Koharu paused and blinked over her cards at him.
"I knew you were cocky, but really?" she said skeptically. Sasuke blushed furiously at her words. Everyone expected the Chair to release him then, but it still held firm.
"Is it broken?" Sakura gasped, tears coming to her eyes at the idea of Sasuke forever being stuck in that chair.
"It can't break," Tenshi growled out, obviously aggravated with the pink haired teen. Gaara stuck out his little tongue at Sakura, causing her to look surprised at the toddler. "It's something from Yuko-san's shop; it doesn't break with just use."
Sakura sat back against the couch, flinching away from Tenshi's glare. Koharu chewed on her top lip, thinking hard about what could be wrong with the Chair.
"He didn't tell the truth," she concluded after a moment. Everyone looked at her curiously. "The Chair can't break as Tenshi just said, so he had to have lied for it to still keep a hold of him with no more questions to ask him."
"I didn't lie," Sasuke growled at her. "Let me go."
"Oh, let me guess. You are so used to creepy little Orochimaru that seeing him hula dance doesn't bother you," Koharu said, a thin grin growing across her face. "Well, you do remember that if you insist on lying to us, the other levels will activate until you tell us."
Sasuke glared at her as she just grinned back at him.
"I am better than him," Sasuke said in a low tone. Koharu turned her head slightly to look at Tenshi, who had the dial out for the Chair which was already set on two. Gaara was reaching over her shoulder and trying to grab the dial, obviously wanting to playing with it, but Tenshi kept it out of his greatly shortened arm length.
"Level three? Already?" Koharu said, clearly amazed that he hadn't given in yet. "What a stubborn group we have this episode."
"F-Fine, he's better than me," Sasuke admitted in a soft gasp, a soft blush creeping onto his face as the third level activated. "Now let me go."
Koharu smiled at him as the Chair released him. Sasuke stood on shaking legs and walked back to the lounge with Tenshi following closely behind him, Gaara clapping from her back as he watched Sasuke shakily walk in front of them. As soon as Sasuke sat back down, Tenshi had him and Naruto handcuffed back together. Koharu turned the camera with a smile.
"As you can see, our requests continue on until something happens to either get rid of it, like someone requesting for Naruto and Sasuke to not be handcuffed, or pause it, like you just saw," she explained with a smile before she turned back to the cast. "Kaaaariiiin! You're up next!"
Karin froze where she sat, her eyes wide in fear. Suigetsu pushed her towards the two hosts, Tenshi grabbing her arm to drag her towards the Chair with Gaara grasping at her hair and pulling lightly. As soon as Karin was in the seat, the Chair wrapped its straps around her. Karin looked back and forth between the two hosts with wide eyes.
"Don't worry Karin, these are nice and innocent questions," Koharu said in a reassuring tone that did not work for Karin. Koharu sighed, her smile dropping. "Karin, are you or are you not used to being duct taped to the wall."
Karin thought for a moment as she remembered being strapped to the wall the past few episodes. "You find some new way to torture me while I'm up there, so no."
"See? Simple question," Koharu said innocently. She flipped to the next card. "What is your favorite color?"
"Raven blue," Karin answered immediately, not even wasting a second to answer the question. Koharu and Tenshi shared a look before the Chair released the slightly crazed fan girl. Koharu and Tenshi let her pass before turning to get Sasori, though Gaara couldn't seem to resist taking another pull at the older red head's hair. Koharu looked at Gaara with a small smile before she decided to be the one to go grab Sasori, not wishing for bloodshed between the two sand ninja.
"Sasori-chan," Koharu greeted the little boy as she held him in her arms. Sasori just looked at her with a blank expression. She carried him to the Chair and sat him down. The Chair gently wrapped its straps around ChibiSasori. Koharu kneeled to be eye level with the young child. "Sasori-chan, how does it feel to be five?"
"I want a nap," was all the little boy said. Koharu blinked for a moment at him.
"Kawaii!" she squealed as she made the Chair release him. She scooped him up as soon as the straps were free and hugged him close to her. Tenshi immediately ran forward with Gaara still on her back and snatched ChibiSasori from her friend's hold.
"You're going to kill him," Tenshi reprimanded the older teen. Koharu pouted until she noticed Gaara glaring daggers at the back of Sasori's head.
"Uh, Tenshi," Koharu murmured, but she was too late. Gaara dove over Tenshi's shoulder and onto Sasori's.
"Mine!" Gaara cried out as he started to pound on Sasori. Tenshi did her best to pull the two children apart, but they managed to roll out of her arms and onto the floor. Tenshi and Koharu dove for them as the two kicked and punched each other, but ended up colliding above the two kids. The two red headed boys ended up rolling all over the stage as everyone tried to break them apart, but found themselves unable to reach them. Finally, Gaara managed to push Sasori off of him and into the back of a couch in the lounge. Tenshi rushed forward and scooped Gaara up.
"Gaara, don't fight with others," Tenshi reprimanded, watching out of the corner of her eye as Koharu went to go pick up Sasori who had tears in his eyes. "Look, you hurt Sasori."
Gaara just folded his little arms and turned to bury his face in her chest.
"Gaara," Tenshi said sternly, waiting for the little boy to look at her before she continued. "I won't let you help me later if you don't go apologize to Sasori right now."
Gaara pouted, but slipped from her arms. He walked over to Koharu, who had Sasori in her arms, and tapped Sasori's leg. The older boy looked down at him with disdain in his eyes.
"Sowwy," Gaara said to the other boy. Sasori stared at him with his hate filled eyes. Gaara's eyes began to well up with tears as Sasori stared down at him.
"Sasori-chan," Koharu whispered to the boy in her arms. Sasori looked at her, his gaze warming significantly when he turned it away from Gaara. "Why not be Gaara's big brother? Teach him not to fight with you and to follow you. Wouldn't having him love you be better than have him attack you?"
Sasori stared at her for a moment before he began to pat her arms.
"Down," he demanded and Koharu was happy to comply. Sasori hesitantly walked up to Gaara in his mini Akatsuki outfit and reached out to pat the top of Gaara's head. Gaara looked up as he sniffled, a few stray tears rolling down his cheeks as he looked at the slightly smiling Sasori. "Little brother?"
Gaara nodded, a smiling forming on his round face.
"Wait a minute," Kankuro murmured, blinking for a moment. He then jumped up and the bowl of chips in his lap went flying into Lee. "I just lost my little brother to a stupid puppet!"
"Oh sit down or we'll put you in the Chair," Tenshi said, shooting a glare towards the older ninja. Kankuro slowly sat back down, not wishing to invoke the power the host had. Tenshi smiled at him before she turned around to see Sasori lead Gaara back to their couch and help the little boy up onto the plush cushions.
"So sweet," Koharu sighed, also watching the two little red heads. She sighed softly and took a quick picture with her phone of the two boys sitting next to each other, Gaara's eyes drooping slightly as he rested his head against Sasori's shoulder. She then turned back to the Naruto cast with her cards in hand. "It's Neji's turn!"
Neji sighed as he stood from his seat. He quickly made his way over to the Chair as Koharu smiled at him the entire way. He obediently sat down in the Chair before Koharu could say anything.
"You aren't being very fun today, Neji," Koharu murmured to him, her smile still clear on her face. Neji was about to answer her when she waved him off. "Later. First, tell us, is it nice to have your newly short hair?"
"It is far different from the length I am used to, but it is nothing that I can't manage. It is just hair," Neji said in his flat tone. Koharu continued to smile at the handsome ninja in front of her for a moment while the Chair slowly released him.
"I'll talk to you later Neji!" Koharu called after him as he made his way back to his friends. Koharu hummed softly as she flipped to the next card before she began pouting. "Only two are left. I really wish my section wasn't so fast to go through. Now, Shikamaru, you're needed over here."
Shikamaru slowly stood and shuffled his way towards the Chair. He plopped down into the Chair and didn't even budge as the Chair's restraints wrapped around him.
"I guess I don't even have to ask if you are sleep deprived right now," Koharu murmured, deciding to poke the ninja as he stared into space. He grumbled something that sounded a lot like 'troublesome' as he moved his head away from Koharu's finger.
"I want to sleep," Shikarmaru said in a low growl.
"Well days and episodes count as the same in this world so you have to stay awake for three more episodes," Koharu said with a smile. The Chair released Shikarmaru, who slowly rose and shuffled back to the lounge and his friends. Koharu smiled as she read the last card. "Naruto!"
The blonde froze at her call. The Chair began to move towards Naruto, who began to slowly back away until he fell into a normal chair. The Chair took advantage of this and sped forward, shooting out its restraints to grab him. Naruto kicked out and struggled against the restraints as the Chair drug him back to the hosts.
"Naruto," Koharu called, gaining his attention. Naruto looked nervously at her as she smiled at him. Her smile fell and she frowned at him. "Why won't you buy Risako-chan ramen?"
"I don't even get ramen in that stupid jar so why should I buy someone else ramen?" Naruto yelled at her.
"Well, for that, you don't get any ramen for the next two episodes," Tenshi said, reading off the first card in her stack.
"What?" Naruto yelled, tears actually forming in his eyes.
"And you cannot act cheerful and must dress in dark clothing," Tenshi continued on as if he hadn't yelled at her. Naruto seemed to have no problem with acting depressed as he heard all of his requests. Tenshi then turned to Koharu. "Which leads into our next request which comes jointly from Akuma-san and lovelydasom."
"Right," Koharu agreed, clapping her hands. A spotlight turned on at the back of the stage to reveal a pair of red haired twins with golden eyes. "Please help us welcome our special guests, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin from Ouran KouKou Host Club. They are here to help us with the next request before they go home again."
"And, no, you may not request them back," Tenshi said as Koharu went over to greet the Hitachiin twins. "The request was for us to dress everyone up as the cast of Shugo Chara with Sakura not being Amu and we have to have Kukai and Ikuto."
"Let's get started!" Koharu said eagerly, snapping her fingers. The whole stage went black for a moment before a spotlight turned on with the twins sitting in bar stools on one side and the two hosts sitting on bar stools on the other side.
"First we have Rima and Kusu Kusu," Hikaru introduced as two people walked up. The first was a woman with long blonde hair and a blank expression. She had on a red plaid skirt and a black blazer over a white dress shirt and red tie. A black ribbon was tied at the top of her head. She had on white tights and black Mary Jane's on her feet. Behind her was a clown. The clown had long, straightened white hair under a red and white polka dot hat that had a green ball at the end. A green star and a green tear drop were painted on either cheek. The person was also wearing a red and white polka dot coverall with a puffy white collar and pointed white shoes.
"Rima and Kusu Kusu are modeled today by Lady Tsunade and Jiraiya," Kaoru informed them. Koharu giggled as she took pictures of the two sannin. Tsunade sighed softly as she looked away from the camera, but Jiraiya eagerly did flips and laughed as Koharu followed him wither camera. Suddenly, a trap door opened up below the two ninjas and they were sent into it.
"Don't worry everyone!" Koharu said quickly.
"That trap door leads back to the lounge so they can watch along with Kankuro and Karin, who were not picked to be dressed up for various reasons," Tenshi said as she watched the twins chuckle. Tenshi turned back to Koharu and grinned. "We did well picking those two for Rima and Kusu Kusu."
"Their personalities fit just right," Koharu agreed as she turned to see five people walking forward.
"Next we have Amu, Dia, Suu, Ran, Miki, and Dark Dia," Kaoru introduced. The first to appear was a short girl with pink hair pulled up to one side in a pony tail that was held together with a red X. She had a short red skirt, an open black blazer with a red band around one sleeve, a white shirt, a loose red tie, black shoes, red leg warmers. Koharu blinked at the little girl for a moment before she squeeled. "Gaara! You are so cute!"
Gaara smiled slightly at her, though he was blushing as she began snapping one picture after another of him.
"Hey! Get away from Amu!" someone called out as a pink blur ran forward. The pink blur picked up Gaara as it stopped in front of Koharu. The blur settled and turned into Lee in light pink cheerleading uniform, a light pink visor with a large heart on it placed on his pink-tented hair, large pink pompoms in his hands, and pink tennis shoes on his feet along with puffy white socks.
"Ran! Get back here! We were supposed to make an entrance together!" they heard someone call. Everyone turned to see Gai come forward in a white bonnet with a giant green clover on it, a green dress with a white apron wrapped around it, and green ballet flats tied half way up his legs.
"I'm sorry, Suu, but it is our duty to protect Amu!" Lee said eagerly. Gai strode forward with a small smile on his face. He grasped Lee's shoulder.
"You are quite right Ran!" he said, a fire seemingly starting in his eyes. Gaara looked between the two before he slowly slipped from Lee's grasp. He ran past them to someone with a large blue hat on that had a large blue spade on it. The person had blue shorts on, black boots, a black vest over a white shirt, and a large light blue bag crossing over their chest. Next to the person was a girl with long pink hair turned into two matching high pony tails with a white head band separating her bangs, two yellow diamonds sat on the head band. The girl also had on thigh high white boots, a yellow mini skirt, and a short yellow shirt that allowed her stomach to be seen. Behind all of them was someone with a long black pony tail held behind and orange head band with a black diamond on it that also had a black x over the diamond. The person was wearing a 60's style black dress with three yellow diamonds down it, longs blacks gloves covered a majority of their arm, and short black boots were on their feet.
"Gaara was dressed as Amu, Lee was dressed as Ran, Gai as Suu, Neji as Miki, Sakura became Dia, and Shikamaru became X Dia," Kaoru explained as Koharu quickly took picture after picture of the group. Tenshi stood and walked forward, taking Gaara from Neji. As soon as she was back in her seat with the toddler, the trap door opened up and the others disappeared. Two new figures appeared just outside of the spotlight.
"Naruto and Itachi were kind enough to become Ikuto and Yoru for us," Hikaru chuckled as the two came forward into the spotlight. Naruto's hair was gelled down, he had on a black dress shirt and slacks, leather belts were wrapped around his legs in various places, and a cross was held around his neck with a black ribbon. Itachi had cat ears placed in his hair, large paws placed on his hands and feet, a tail attached behind him, black short on, a black tank top on with a large cross attached to it, and a studded black belt. A large scream was heard from around the studio as fan girls saw the dark look of the two. There was a slight pause while Tenshi covered Gaara's ears so he didn't hear the scream before the trap door opened, sending the two back to the lounge.
Two new people stepped forward immediately. Tenshi chuckled when she recognized the silhouettes as Sasuke and Itachi. The two stepped forward into the light. Kakashi was in blue plaid shorts, a white shirt with a black blazer over it, a blue tie, knee high white sicks, black dress shoes, and a blue plaid cape that wrapped all the way around him and connected in front of him. Sasuke had on white tights under puffed out blue pants, a darker blue vest over a white shirt, a gold crown was placed on his head, and a red caped lined with white fur was wrapped around his neck. Koharu and Tenshi had a hard time holding in their laughter at the sight of Sasuke.
"Blackmail," Tenshi murmured, motioning for Koharu to take as many pictures as she could. Koharu happily complied, even getting right in Sasuke's face to take pictures of him. Sasuke growled at her, freeing his hands. Koharu took a step back, a smug grin on her face as Sasuke began to do hand signs.
"Fire style, Fireball Jutsu!" he called out, taking a deep breath. He blew out, but nothing happened. Koharu smiled at him with a giggle.
"One, I'm surprised you haven't tried that yet," she said as Sasuke just stared at his hands. "And two, there are seals on this entire stage that won't let you use your jutsus. A precautionary thing, you know?"
Sasuke just turned away from her. Koharu quickly backed away from them as the trap door began to open. She went to go sit down as two more people stepped up to the light.
"Jugo and Suigetsu have been coerced into being Pepe and Yaya for us," Hikaru told everyone as the two men stepped into the spotlight. Jugo's bright orange hair was hidden under a light pink bonnet that had rabbit ears with white lace lining it and a red bow placed on it. He was dressed in light pink footie pajamas with a white bib tied around his neck. Jugo's hair was tied into two pony tails that had red bows wrapped around them. He was in a red plaid skirt with a white dress shirt, black blazer, and red tie. He also was wearing a red version of the cape Kakashi was wearing, thigh high white socks, and black dress shoes. Koharu began taking pictures of them before the trap door opened and they were sent to the lounge. Loud laughter could be heard from the lounge as the two landed and three other stepped up to the light.
"Now the two jokers, Kukai and Kairi, and the mistress of songs, Utau," Hikaru and Kaoru said together, getting excited that this was ending. "As played by Sasori, Sai, and Deidara!"
Little Sasori stepped forward with spikey red hair, blue shorts on with an open black blazer, white shirt, and blue cape. Tennis shoes and knee high socks were on his feet. Sai came out with thin framed glasses on and a matching uniform to Kakashi. Deidara followed them at a slower pace, obviously angered that he was playing a girl. He was dressed in a tight black leather dress and knee high boots, his blonde hair tied up in two pony tails at the side of his head.
"So cute!" Koharu squealed as she rushed forward to hug Sasori. She picked him up and took Deidara's arm. She led them away from the trap door before it opened and sent Sai down to the lounge. She let go of Deidara and went to sit back down with Sasori in her lap. "Bye bye, Hika-kun, Kao-chan."
"Bye, Ko-chan!" the twins called as the light went out above them. Tenshi flipped to the next card in her large stack
"Deidara, you must fix all of Sasori's puppets," she instructed, Koharu motioning to a new spotlight that revealed Sasori's destroyed puppets. Deidara walked over as a tool box rolled into the spot light from no where. Tenshi flipped to the next card, an evil grin spreading across her face as she read it. "While Deidara fixes the puppets, we get to duct tape Karin to a wall with her favorite color duct tape."
"Which happens to be raven blue," Koharu said, bringing out the note card that had one of Karin's questions on it with the answer shining underneath the printed question. Karin appeared next to them as Tenshi reached into the Jar of Doom. She pulled out a roll of dark blue duct tape and handed it to Gaara. Gaara jumped down from her lap as Koharu and Sasori pushed Karin against a wall. Gaara began to duct tape Karin's legs as Tenshi walked up with her own roll of duct tape. Once enough of her legs were taped down, Sasori began to help Gaara reach higher up on Karin's legs. Soon, the four finished taping Karin to the wall in a mass of raven blue duct tape. Koharu smiled and turned to the two small boys between her and Tenshi. She lowered her hands to give the two boys high fives, the two red heads eagerly receiving them from her. Koharu smiled and scooped up ChibiSasori to place him on a high seat before turning back to Tenshi, who was placing Gaara in a small arm chair. Tenshi straightened and pulled out her cards, frowning as she read the next card.
"Deidara, you must re-destroy all of the puppets," she called over to the blonde in a flat tone. Deidara looked up with wide eyes, the small screwdriver in his hand slipping from his fingers. Deidara looked down at the mass of puppets around him before looking towards a fuming Sasori with fear in his eyes. Tenshi looked back and forth between them before sighing. "He can't use any of his jutsus without being dared first, so go ahead and destroy them."
Deidara nervously reached into his pocket and pulled out a small piece of clay. He used the mouths in his hands to mold the clay into several small spiders before placing them all around the puppets. He stepped away from the puppets before he completed his jutsu, the puppets bursting into flame as the spiders exploded. Koharu restrained Sasori as Deidara quickly ran for the lounge. Sasori turned to Koharu with tear filled eyes, pointing at the burning puppets.
"I want them back," he mumbled through his tears. Koharu frowned at the sight of the young boy pouting. She pulled him into a hug and walked over to the Jar of Doom. She reached in and pulled out a set of keys. She turned back to Tenshi, who was looking at her curiously.
"We're going shopping," she said as she she pulled out a small coat for Sasori. She sat him down and pulled the black coat onto him. She took his little hand and walked towards the dark part of the stage. Tenshi sighed and turned back to the others.
"Next is for Sakura and a bit for Karin," she said. Sakura stood and went to stand next to Karin's wall. Tenshi snapped, a curtain lowering to block them from the others' view as Tenshi carried the Jar of Doom over to them. She walked back out from behind the curtain with the Jar as Hawaiin music began to play behind the curtain. Soon, Sakura's screams and Karin's muffled shouts could be heard. Once the music stopped, Tenshi walked back to the curtain with the Jar of Doom. Sakura walked back to her friends with shaking legs and a green face. She collapsed in between Naruto and Sasuke, shaking and she stared up at the ceiling. Tenshi walked up to her and whispered something in her ear, causing Sakura to shake her head slightly.
"Wh-What happened to her?" Naruto asked quietly, everyone from Konoha and Suna worried about the pink haired teen.
"She and Karin were forced to watch Orochimaru hula dance, much like the Chair's first level defenses," Tenshi explained as she straightened. She turned to the Jar of Doom after reading the next request and pulled out the Icha Icha series. Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the extra compies of the books that she had, his hands extending out to them greedily. Tenshi sighed softly and pulled a small lighter out of her pocket. With one fluid motion, she lit the books on fire right before Kakashi's eyes. Kakashi's eyes actually welled up with tears as he watched the fire errupt around his favorite books. He dropped to his knees in front of the small fire as the flames slowly died out. Tenshi walked a few steps away from the greiving ninja and to the lounge. She walked straight up to Jiraiya, who seemed to have a constant wince on his face from the Anti-Perversion Headband. Tenshi took the headband off of him and handed him a pad of paper with a pen. "You have to right another book for women."
Jiraiya frowned slightly as he took the pad of paper. He turned away from everyone and began to think. Tenshi then turned back to the group and pointed to Suigetsu and Jugo.
"Come with me," she instructed as a spotlight turned on a few feet away to reveal a karaoke machine set up. The three walked over to it and Tenshi motioned for them to stand by the two microphones. She went over to the small computer that was used to select the songs and turned one on. She then took out a video camera and turned it on the pair. "You two are to sing 'A Whole New World' for us. I am only recording this because Koharu is gone and I know she would wish to see this."
The music began to play and the two struggled to begin the song. Suigetsu glared at his comrad in order to shut him up.
"Shimmering, splendid," Suigetsu sang in a surprisingly good voice after Jugo stopped singing. Suigetsu looked back at the words and almost sputtered when he saw the next phrase. "Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?"
Tenshi and many of the Naruto cast snickered as Suigetsu sang that line, some of them realizing that the song was actually a romantic duet.
"I can open your eyes. Take you wonder by wonder," Suigetsu continued, a small blush forming on his pale cheeks as he heard everyone's laughter. "Over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride. A whole new world. A new fantastic point of view. No one to tell us no or where to go or say we're only dreaming."
"A whole new world," Jugo jumped in, easily overpowering Suigetsu's soft and melodic tone with his strong and deep bass. "A dazzling place I never knew. But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear that now I'm in a whole new world with you."
"Now I'm in a whole new world with you," Suigetsu sang, trying to match Jugo's powerful voice.
"Unbelievable sights, indescribable feeling," Jugo sang out, nearly hitting Suigetsu as he swung his arms out. "Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling through an endless diamond sky. A whole new world."
"Don't you dare close your eyes," Suigetsu said quickly, having to look under Jugo's arm to see the words.
"A hundred thousand things to see," Jugo sang, not even paying any attention to his aggravated partner.
"Hold your breath. It gets better," Suigetsu said quickly, moving around his comrad.
"I'm like a shooting star," Jugo sang out, his voice cracking slightly as he raised its pitch. "I've come so far. I can't go back to where I used to be."
"A whole new world," Suigetsu sang over his partner.
"Every turn a surprise," Jugo sang, glaring over at Suigetsu.
"With new horizons to pursue," Suigetsu sang back, also glaring at Jugo.
"Every moment red-letter," Jugo sang, getting louder as he sang into his microphone.
"I'll chase them anywhere," the two sang together. They somehow were in perfect harmony even though they seemed to be competeing to see who was the better singer. "There's time to spare. Let me share this whole new world with you."
"A whole new world," Suigetsu sang out as Jugo took in a breath before repeating the phrase even louder. "That's where we'll be. A thrilling chase."
"A wondrous place," Jugo cut in, receiving another fierce glare from the ninja next to him.
"For you and me," the two finished together, glaring daggers at each other. The two jumped in surprise when they heard applause begin. The two turned to see many of the ninjas standing and clapping for them in the Lounge. The two blinked at them as Tenshi came up to the two.
"That was good you two," she complemented, a small smile gracing her lips. The two walked back to the Lounge in a daze, neither expecting the applause or complement for doing something like that. A door opened somewhere behind all of them and everyone turned to see Koharu and Sasori come back in with several men in all black carrying large puppets behind them. Tenshi chuckled as Koharu and Sasori stopped in front of her. "Perfect timing, I need two of your new puppets."
Koharu turned to Sasori with a questioning look. The young boy thought for a moment before nodding. "Auntie Tenshi can borrow my toys."
Koharu smiled up at Tenshi, pride seeming to well in every fiber of her being. Tenshi also smiled down at the boy as she pointed towards two of the puppets in the mass of mens' arms. She then turned towards the Lounge and pointed at Kankuro.
"Now it is the time for Kankuro to finally participate," she said with an evil grin. Kankuro hesitantly stood and walked over to them. She motioned towards the male and female puppets she had picked out. "You have to act out how you think Shikamaru and Temari's love goes for ChibiGaara."
Kankuro blinked at her as if she was insane.
"I'm not going to die for this damn show," he said, glancing towards the calm toddler.
"Gaara won't do anything to you," Tenshi said, her eyebrow raised in disbelief. "For one, he can't use his jutsus. Also, he's only three."
"That never stopped him when he actually was three," Kankuro murmured darkly, but turned towards the puppets anyway. He sighed softly aas he raised his hands, sending thin strings of chakra to the puppets. The two puppets rose into the air, high enough for everyone to see. Kankuro paused for a moment before he made the puppets begin to move. First, the puppets only kissed, but Kankuro seemed to find this act too boring and decided to make them do some more intimate actions. Temari and Shikamaru actually seemed to be blushing as they watched the two puppets. Tenshi hit Kankuro in order to make him stop as Koharu covered Sasori and Gaara's eyes.
"There are children here!" Koharu yelled at Kankuro as he began to rub his head, the puppets falling to the ground since he had accidentally cut off his chakra flow from them. Kankuro grumbled as he backed away to go sit at the edge of the Lounge, not wanting to get anywhere near his furious sister. Tenshi sighed and shook her head, bringing out her cards for the next request. She bit her lip to try to hold in her laughter as she reached into the Jar of Doom. She pulled out a red leather dress and matching pumps and a pair of black tights. Koharu looked at her inquzitivally as she stood from covering Gaara and Sasori's eyes. Tenshi stepped away from Koharu as the older teen walked towards her. Tenshi quickly turned with the outfit and grabbed Neji's arm, pulling him towards the door that led towards backstage. A confused moment later, Neji stumbled back onto the stage in the outfit that Tenshi had pulled out of the Jar with a deep blush covering his face. Koharu blinked at him for a moment before clearing her throat and walking up to him.
"Well hello sexy thing," she said in the deepest voice she could manage. Neji looked away from her, both of them hearing muffled laughter coming from the Lounge. Neji mumbled something as Koharu slid her arm around Neji's now visible waist. "Why don't we go back stage for a little bit, babe?"
"Not right now Koharu," Tenshi called to the older teen as she back on stage with a stereo. Koharu frowned as her best friend walked up to her. "I need Neji for this next request and then you can have him."
"Well it better be a quick request, because I'm about to jump this sexy chick," Koharu said gruffly, still trying to act like a guy. Tenshi held in her laughter as she grabbed Neji's arm and pulled him towards the middle of the stage.
"Gai, Lee, I need you two too," she called as she set up the stereo. Lee jumped up, nearly flashing everyone with his short skirt. Gai stood in a much more fluid motion, his dress thankfully tight around his thighs. The two rushed to Neji's side with large smiles on their faces. Tenshi was taken slightly aback by their actions, but focused again quickly. "The three of you are going to sing and dance to the Macarena."
Lee and Gai cheered as Tenshi hit play on the stereo. The three lined up, though Neji was still wobbling in his pumps. The music began to play and Lee and Gai began to move their hips in time with the music.
"I am not trying to seduce you," they called out as they began to do the actual Macarena dance. Neji watched them closely before he also began to dance.
"Neji needs to do the girl part while Lee and Gai do the boy part," Tenshi instructed, though her cards were no where in sight. Neji sighed, but began to sing.
"When I dance, they call me Macarena," he sang in the highest voice he could, trying to sound somewhat like a girl. "And the boys, they say I'm buena. They all want me, they can't have me. So they all come and dance beside me. Move with me, jam with me, and, if you're good, I'll take you home with me."
"A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena," Lee and Gai sang out energetically though they could barely pronounce the words. "Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena! A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena!"
"Now don't you worry about my boyfriend," Neji sang, his voice cracking slightly as he pushed it higher. "The boy whose name is Victorino. I don't want him, can't stand him. He was no good, so I-!"
Neji cut off as the actual singer laughed. Koharu smiled at him encouragingly. He sighed and continued.
"Now, come on, what was I supposed to do?" he sang out. "He was out of town and his two friends were soooo fine."
"A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena," Lee and Gai sang out as they slid up to be dancing right next to Neji. "Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena! A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena!"
The three continued dancing as the instrumental section played, though Neji was obviously having diffculties staying on his feet in the tall heels.
"A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena," Lee and Gai sang, both of them now belting the song as they became extremely dramatic with the dance moves.. "Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena! A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena!"
"Come and find me! My name is Macarena," Neji sang, actually relaxing a little now that the song seemed to be almost over. "Always at the party, because the chicos think I'm buena. Come join me, dance with me and all of your fellows call hello to me."
By that time, Koharu had slid up behind Neji and was now dancing behind him, though none of her movements seemed to match the dance for the song.
"A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena!" Le and Gai sang out, Tenshi sneeking into the groupof dancers to pull Koharu out. "A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena! A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena! A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena! A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena. A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena. Eeeh. Macarena!"
The music finally ended and Neji collapsed onto his knees, his legs shaking from dancing in heels for the first time. Koharu ran up to him and scooped him off of the ground. She turned to the camera with a large smile.
"Bye everyone! Please send us your requests!" she called as she ran backstage with her captive. Tenshi sighed and shook her head at her cohost as she began to gather the two children in their care.
"Oh, right," Tenshi murmured, turning to the Naruto cast. She brought out the key that Gaara had used previously and brought it over to Jiraiya. She snatched his book off of his lap, the sannin having fallen asleep sometime earlier. She walked past several anxious ninjas and stopped in front of Kakashi. She handed him the book and the key with a small smile. "Have fun with lovelydasom."
The white haired ninja disappeared then. Tenshi sighed softly and turned to go gather her charges again. The Jar of Doom opened up and sucked in the Naruto cast, all of them already prepared for the small vacuum. The lights dimmed right before a loud scream filled the area.
Well, everyone, I hope you don't mind if I ramble a little bit right now. I really want this chapter to be 10,000 words long and, by the time I got to the end of the chapter, it was only 9,049. So, a few memos for clarifications.
First, I am completely serious about only writing 5 chapters per constant reviewer. I have other stories that I can be working on and, though I get a kick out of writing this, this isn't so important for me to continue if I don't have readers. So, a little math right now, right now I have two peoplw I consider constant reviewers (Thanks again Risako-chan and Akuma-san). Multiply that by five and we get ten chapters. This is already the fifth chapter so I'm going to probably finish this by the end of the year, school and work permitting me.
Next, the contest for who can guess the origin of the key is still going on for bonus points (two to be exact with this). I'll probably have contests every now and then if I get more constant reviewers to lengthen the story.
A little note about my first clarification, I really do encourage everyone to send this to their friends. Tenshi sent this to her friends and Risako-chan is my friend, so it's not like I'm asking you to do something that I won't do myself. I know, how about everyone who sends their friends to this story gets free points! If your friend reviews me some requests and gives me your name, you get extra points! It'll probably only be one or two points right now, but as more markers are set up it might go up.
Well, I couldn't make it to 10,000 words, but maybe I'll make it next time. Thanks for reading through my rant and please send in requests!
