Welcome to Choas High!
Disclamer: I know nathing!
His forehead felt like Niagara falls and his skin was the Sahara desert and PE was the torture while school was the Nazi concentration camp. As anyone could guess Shikamaru was less then please when he heard they would be outside doing the high jump and to make things worse the had a slave-driver for a teacher named Anko Mitarashi, they were all women that gave him trouble.
The blazing sun wasn't helping matters, it was only taunting him into believing this was children punishment, not that his parents would care (especially his mom who would just tell him to suck it up and be a man). They would rather he die of skin cancer young then have him live long and lazily indoors.
Waiting in line was even more pain, just waiting before he had to make an effort and in the blazing sun while everyone else reminded him of just how hot it was out by moaning and groaning how they would be better off inside.
At least he wasn't the only one, after all Choji Akimichi his best friend was almost (note almost) as lazy as Shikamaru was with PE. He would sit and sweat with him doing only what was necessary to past the class so his mother didn't send him to some fat camp over the summer. Which would not due for Shikamaru, since he would be more board then usual over the holiday then normal.
His friend was right behind him in line as they waited for their names to be called, not like they needed to be standing up, but Anko insisted they do so to keep them on their toes. He felt a hand placed near his ears as Choji whispered, "Hey Shikamaru, did you hear about the talent show going on tomorrow?"
Without bothering to turn around, mostly so he wasn't caught talking said casually, "Yeah, who hasn't? They've been making announcements all month in class."
He could hear a smile in his friend's voice as he spoke once more. "But did you hear who was in it?"
"Not really." He never bothered with things like talent shows, after all they were just too troublesome.
"Get this, Naruto, Kiba, Shino, and Lee are in a band together and you'll never-"
Finally the pineapple haired boy turned around to face his "big-boned" friend. "Choji, none of that surprises me, so why bother with such troublesome matters."
"Nara Shikamaru!"
"But you haven't heard the best part. Sasuke's in it too."
"Nara Shikamaru!"
"What?!" The name had caught the usual carefree guy, that made Shaman King's Yoh's laziness look like a joke, so off guard he hadn't even notice the teacher starting to angrily approach him until she called out once more.
"Nara Shikamaru for the last time you're up or else!"
"Uhh... right." Boy, was he going to get it later, but none of that seem to matter now. Sasuke Uchiha in the talent show, in any talent show! There was just no way, no possible way! Unless that Karin told him she'd leave him alone for life if he did it. But that was very unlikely.
"Nara, jump already!"
Shikamaru was unusually good at the pole in fact too good for a lazy I-don't-want-to-do-anything-that's-too-troublesome sorta guy. But today would prove that he was just like the rest as he went down with a flop. His mind was too baffled by the news too even remember that today was to determine who would make it to finals, not that it really ever mattered to him, just his mother.
These were the times he really wondered why life was so troublesome...
"What about 'The Dog Lovers', I think it's fitting."
"That's what you want!"
"Well you think of something better!"
"Ramennators."
"I will not be apart of a band named that nor will Miki."
"Whose Miki?"
"His instrument."
"..."
"Guys maybe we should be practicing first before thinking of a name after all practice makes perfect!"
It had been like this for the past two days, rather then doing something more productive, such as practice they were arguing over their nameless band. Lee had tried to get them to get over it by calling them the 'Mighty Ones' but when it was shot down he figured it was a lost situation and so once more they would go home with no name or improvement.
Yes, it was a disaster from the get go, but at least Lee could show off his mad skills on the drums.
"How about Aka?"
"How about not!"
"Let's name it Miki, Shino, and the Others."
Or at least his counseling skills...
Finally he was free from that freak of a Sasuke obsessive freak named Karin. Suigetsu sipped on his ramune with the usual straw inside as he looked for a spot to sit down for the next act in the talent show, to see Sasuke and losers perform as a "band" and basically this was the only reason anyone was there in the first place to see this crap of a show that was known as people showing off what they "thought" was talent. It was too bad it wasn't audition only. Now a days they'll let anything in to get a crowd, Suigetsu thought to himself as Hiroki Yagi was booed off the stage after reading some english poem by the fag William Shakespeare.
Now the place was packed for the next act and unless Suigetsu planned on sitting on the ground he better find some sap to sit next to or push on the floor.
Then he saw a spot opened next to Karin. 'As if I wanted more pain and misery for the next ten minutes.', he thought to himself as she saw him and in a coy smile patted the seat as if to say "come on you know you need me now." But the other was by yet another less annoying far prettier Sasuke fangirl named Sakura Haruno and as quickly as he saw it he pushed the ready to sit in it Hiroki Yagi onto the floor where he belonged and sat next to the pink haired beauty.
"Hey gorgeous."
Sakura turned up to see to her dismay Suigetsu, a boy in which she was never too fond of maybe for the simple fact that he used his status as Sasuke's best friend as a way to pick up girls and drop them off on the curb when he was board with them.
"Hello Suigetsu-kun."
"Aww, I'm happy to see you, but I can't help but feel your not happy to see me."
"Well..." But whoever it was that might have been in the heavens above, heard her cry for help as the curtains drew up and the lights dimmed. The next act began with the principle Tsunade, who introduced the act as "Mika of Miki" which was corrected by Kiba as the "Pet shop" only to have Naruto yell it was the "The No Names". Tsunade rolled her eyes and replied with a "whatever" as she exited the stage.
All the girls cheered and squealed loud enough to make dogs all around Japan howl like mad as the lights all seem to magically shine on Sasuke rather then the rest which only made Kiba stand in front of them to hear boos and hisses.
'Here goes nothing...' Kiba thought nervously as he swallowed the lump that had been building up since the talent show began. No turning back now, if they sucked then they sucked.
He could here Lee call out the tempo and he place the golden instrument to his lips as they all got ready for the suck that came along with it.
Well Sasuke wasn't bad considering he was the only one who was playing. Now if he was playing anything over an amateur was the true question as the only thing produce was two MAYBE three notes the whole time. He must have been warming up, that was it! He could hear Naruto falling behind and Shino going off ahead while... just what the hell was Lee playing anyway?
What the hell was happening? Why was he here? What was the painful noise in his ears and why did he feel like he would never be able to show his face up as school as long as he lived? That's it, it's over and he still hadn't moved.
When the cluster of a song was finished Kiba herd the reaction, nothing. Nothing from his instrument the whole time and worst of all nothing from the audience. 'Oh God please let me hear something, anything from them. Just don't let me hear nothing!'
"Yeah, Lee! I knew you could do it!" Sai called out. That's all they got a complement from a loser about a loser. What was he saying they were all losers right now! They made Hiroki Yagi look like a god.
Kiba then heard the annoying laugh of that who was Suigetsu as others followed then Tsunade came up trying her best not to laugh. She tried to get everyone to clap only to burst out in laughter when Naruto started up a round of Hot cross buns.
Kiba went over to the only hope they had the whole time named Uchiha Sasuke and asked him what he wanted to know since it started. "I thought you were good what happened."
In which Sasuke replied, "I never said I was good, I can play but I never said I didn't start about three months ago."
He knew his life was over now and he might as well give up and join Hiroki Yagi in loserville. He knew they would suck but blow and everything in between that was fail too... never did he think it would be that bad; and to top it off he was stuck with two months of homework.
Oh well, at least Shino might start his career considering it seem no one told him to stop as he continued to bust out in song and started playing his own thing.
Well this was never going to be a day to forget, that was for sure. Not for the reasons that it would be the talk of the school for weeks to come or the fact that Kiba would have a hard time getting away from the No Name band ring leader, but for the simple fact it was the first time Sakura Haruno had seen Sasuke in a different light, that he wasn't perfect and there was something more to him then perfections after all...
So like here's the next chapter. "Do you love it?" Seriously this makes me laugh even though I've read it before. I can hear Fred's voice reading this while I type it, I should change the voice... Like hell I will, he does good work! Where was Fred a few years ago when I REALLY needed him? You know what I mean. I also noticed I put '...' at the end of every scene, you better not be reading the '...' like I know you are! Peace out SBL! I actually tried with the gammer and stuff on this, I think I do good.
