Let's hope this gets me even MORE.

Luna finally managed to dig her iPod out of the very very bottom of her bag, so she celebrated by making sure Naruto wasn't around and rocking out.
She was right in the middle of doing the robot when she heard snickering. Luna whirled around and saw Naruto in the doorway, doubled over with laughter.
"Hahahahaha...Luna dances? WELL? Hahahahaha!"
She paused the song and huffed moodily at him. "I thought you were gone doing...something."
"I was. I came back. Kind of like a boomerang?"
She sweatdropped. "Did you really just call yourself a boomerang, Naruto?"
"Little bit."
"Hm."
"Hm what?"
"Hm as in 'Hm'."
"Oh, that explains everything."
Before she could react, he was by her side and had her iPod in hand. Naruto quickly dodged her fist, and she ended up chasing him around his room about eight times before he hopped on the bed.
While Luna fumed down below, he scrolled through her songs in full-on Monologue Mode. "Hmm. So, what does Luna listen to? Lemme see...Tokio Hotel, nice. Linkin Park, cool. Disturbed. Gee, why does all this not surpri- whoa, wait. Eminem? 50 Cent? Gym Class Heroes? Japanese artists I've never heard of? Katy Perry? Cascada? Paramore? All Time Low? The Beatles? Who the hell are you, Luna?"
"What's wrong with my taste in music?" She cried out defensively.
"It's off the walls! You've got alternative, rock, rap, pop, dance...Even frigging Japanese on here!"
"Is that bad?"
"Well, no, it's just...Hahahahahaha!"
"What NOW?"
"You have Mr. Roboto on here! How fitting!" He said between laughs.
This resulted in Luna glaring at him rather ominously, and Naruto gulped as the background turned very intimidating and angry.
"Are you implying I am mechanical again, Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Ummmm..."
Before he could give her an intelligent answer, Luna had leapt onto the bed and tackled him, retrieving her iPod with a triumphant yell.
She rolled him off and jumped on the bed happily like any average kid. He sat on his ass and crossed his arms, making her smirk.
"Awww, is Naruto pouting? Do you need a nap, or your pacifier perhaps? Now, do remind me, because I forgot...Do you LIKE to lose, Uzumaki?"
"That's it!" He grabbed her by the ankle, making her land on the bed, and he attempted to steal back the iPod.
In a last hopeless attempt, Luna stretched the top of her shirt out and plopped the device in there; Naruto froze, narrowing his eyes, and she smirked smugly.
"Go ahead, I dare you."
Silence.
"Ha! I knew you wouldn't do it. Why? Because you can't haaaandddlleee itttt! Na-na-na-na-NAAA-na! Yeah, that's right, you-"
She cut off with a shriek as he shot his hand into her shirt, fumbling around for her iPod. "Ahhh! Naruto, get the hell off! Ohmi- bahahahahaha! That tickles, no, stop! Wait, wait, that's my bra! Narutooo, stop! Hahahahaha!"
Naruto just smirked and pulled out the iPod, holding it to a random beam of light dramatically. "Behold! Success! Oh, nice bra, by the way."
"Thank you! Wait...Ugh, Naruto, that's so perverted."
"It's a compliment!"
"A perverted one! You weren't supposed to SEE it!"
"Hey, just be glad you were wearing one, or I would've seen a lot more."
"Nothing you haven't stared at already."
He sighed dramatically. "You're never letting the hot spring thing go, are you?"
"Nope."
All through training, people were acting....odd. Well, more odd than usual.
Sakura kept giggling at them, Sasuke was giving Naruto the stink-eye every five minutes, Kakashi had this perverted look on his face when addressing the two as if he was thinking about his romance mangas, and Yamato kept giving them suggestive looks.
Sai looked proud and smug.
Hence, they were both worried and more than a little spazzy.
Later, they were all at Ichiraku's, and Naruto finally snapped. "Okay, Sasuke, that's the eight millionth time you've sighed like that. Will you PLEASE tell us what's depressing you, Emo Boy?"
Sasuke didn't even comment on the emo jab, and just sighed heavily. "Sakura heard you two this morning as she was walking by. Now, how come NARUTO, fricking NARUTO, gets some before me?"
Sakura patted his shoulder sympathetically, Naruto looked mortified, temple throbbing, and Luna was confused.
"Um...Get what, exactly?"
Naruto looked at her in disbelief. "How do you know all these perverted jokes and facts, yet not know what GET SOME means?" She just blinked, and he whispered in her ear. Luna's face soon turned bright red, a horrified look on her face.
She waved her hands as if stopping a major disaster. In a way, she was. "No no no no NO! Naruto hasn't gotten ANYTHING lately!"
"Lately?"
"I meant EVER," she assured the depressed Sasuke. Poor guy looked like he should be put on Suicide Watch.
Sakura moaned miserably. "Now I have to tell everybody it's not true!"
Naruto and Luna exchanged a look. "Who do you mean by...EVERYBODY?"
"Well, y'know. Ino, Sai, Kakashi, Yamato, Iruka, Choji, Shikamaru-"
"Whoa, whoa, WHOA! You told IRUKA-SENSEI?"
"Kinda," she admitted nervously.
Who the hell's Iruka? Luna wondered as Naruto let out a rather loud groan. "Great, just GREAT! Well, at least you didn't tell Tsunade. She'd tell everybody, and I do mean EVERYBODY."
Sakura laughed nervously, her face bright pink, and Naruto banged his head against the table miserably.
Luna paled. "Wait, so...Hinata knows now, too?"
"Ehhhh..."
"SAKURAAAAAA!" She cried out, not even bothering to stop Naruto's head-banging. She wished she could do that herself, but she had been told years ago that doing so would cause the loss of at least 3,000 brain cells per hit.
Naruto's head stayed upright at her wailing. "Wait, what's so bad about Hinata knowing?"
Everyone looked at him in disbelief, even Luna. "You didn't know?" She asked.
"One thing you need to know about your boyfriend is that an earthquake could come through and he probably would just assume that Choji fell, or something equally random. He never notices the obvious explanations for things," Sasuke informed her.
"Oh, I know, but to be THAT dense...Naruto, that takes true skill, I'm shocked."
"Will you please just tell me what the HELL I'm supposed to know but don't know?" He snapped.
"Hinata likes you!" She snapped right back.
"Like...Likes me likes me?"
"Yes, LIKES YOU likes you. Jeez, even I figured that one out."
Naruto stared into space. "Hinata seriously likes me? I never knew that. Wow, that explains a LOT."
"Yeah, I know. Why else would someone tolerate you?" Sakura muttered.
Naruto looked to Luna for some kind of compliment, but she just nodded. "Sakura has a point."
He drooped, and Sasuke beamed. "Awesome. I still have a chance. What was I thinking? There's no WAY that dobe'll get some action before I do."
Sakura and Luna spent the next five minutes trying to break up their idiotic battle.
A WHILE LATER..
Luna was in the middle of arguing with Naruto, as per usual, when her cell rang.
"C'mon, just pleeease get me an orange? Seeing you peeling one makes me want one really bad!"
"You have legs, Naruto. I'm not your slave!"
"But...But I just sat down!"
"Sucks for you, then, doesn't it?"
And then her phone went off, vibrating and ringing on the nearby counter. There are a couple things you should know about her cell phone. One, it's a cherry red LG Shine. Therefore, it's extremely shiny and cool looking. Secondly, her ringtone had been changed by Ichigo. So it now blared the second verse of "Because I Got High".
Add all this to the fact that Naruto had never even seen a phone before, and it's not too hard to imagine him literally diving to look at the number.
"Oooh, maybe your boyfriend's calling?"
Luna laughed bitterly, which surprised her. She could laugh about it now? "Doubt it, Naruto. That's more or less impossible."
"Hmm. Then maybe it's Ichigo," he commented thoughtfully as he flipped it in the air, trying to see how many flips it would take to break it.
Luna snatched it from him, and he rolled his eyes at the defensive glare she shot him. "And what makes you think it's Ichigo?"
"Renji says he's in love with you."
"Renji's a dumbass. He's in love with Rukia."
"Ah-HA! I knew it!"
Luna then remembered that her cell was still ringing, and she looked at Naruto suspiciously. "What name came up?"
"I dunno, I wasn't paying attention," he said with a scoff.
She rolled her eyes and flipped the phone open without even glancing at the screen. "Hello?"
"Luna? Man, it's so good to hear your voice again."
Naruto noticed she turned a deathly white, and he pointed at the phone questioningly. She waved him off.
"Who the hell is this?"
"You know good and well who it is. Jeez, at least I hope so."
Luna glanced at the number on the screen. Blocked number. "Alright, that's it. He wouldn't call from a blocked number. Hang up before I figure out where you live and kick your ass."
"Luna, even if I WAS a prankster, how could I fake my own voice?"
"Technology is truly a wonder, isn't it?"
"Luna, please don't hang up. I really, really, want to see you."
"I'm hanging up."
"No, don't, listen-"
"Whoever the hell this is, it's not funny. So take your sick-ass prank calls somewhere else!"
He sighed, and she felt a pang in her stomach. It was the same sigh he had always made when he was frustrated. "Luna, please-"
"Leave me alone. Don't call again, whoever you are." With that, she slid her phone shut shakily.
Naruto was staring at her, but she ignored him. Luna wordlessly tossed him the orange. "Here. I'm not hungry anymore." As expected, her phone rang again. Naruto didn't say a word as she threw it at the wall.
He continued to try and figure out what had happened as she attempted to get some ice and water into a glass.
"Prank call?"
"I sure hope so."
"What's a prank call?"
"It is when people block their cellular number, so you cannot tell who they are, and then they call you and trick you. Usually they say a common phrase, such as 'Is your refridgerator running? If so, you better go catch it'. Things of that nature. But sometimes, the prank caller is a bit more cruel with his or her humor," she explained.
"Luna...You've gone all formal again," he said slowly. "What emotion are you hiding this time?"
Fear. Hatred. Confusion. Guilt. Pain. Take your pick, Naruto.
"No emotion," was all she said. But she fumbled with the ice, dropping half of them, and threw the remaining ice into the sink with a lot more force than necessary, panting angrily.
Her hands were shaking, Naruto could see them all the way from where he was standing. "No emotion," he repeated skeptically.
Both their heads whipped around to stare at her phone as it rang again. Luna walked as fast as possible to pick it up, then threw it against the floor with a frustrated yell.
He continued to watch in amazement as she paced the room about five times, then simply walked out the front door.
He was about to follow, but then she came running back in. She ran into his room, came out with a guitar in her hand, then ran right back outside. She didn't seem to be crying, but she was definitely shaken up and upset.
Naruto didn't even think it possible that Luna could snap. But he was pretty sure she just had. Whoever had called had seriously pissed her off.
So of course he ran after her.
