"I'm Wasted"- Ghost Town
Naruto's PV
On the way home the group seemed to be in their own little worlds, except for Shikamaru who was just sleeping. Staring out the window all the fox could think about was the interesting raven, Sasuke. The music playing from the CD player, Kakashi's Music Mix, was completely not helping the situation.
And I think that shorty I have a thing for you
Doing it on purpose while you working it,
I can tell by the way you looking at me girl,
I wanna make love in this club, in this club, in this club
Feeling kinda annoyed how he couldn't get back in his groove, the blond looked to Gaara for distraction. But unfortunately for the blond his redheaded brother seemed occupied with his own thoughts, glaring at the front window, as if not aware of the world around him. 'Damn', Naruto cursed to himself, raising his hand to his eyes the blond rubbed them, trying to banish the onyx coloured eyes filled with amusement and lust, that seemed to have implanted itself in his mind. The fox rolled his eyes at himself, annoyed at how Sasuke hadn't even touched him, 'yet', his mind whispered, and already he was reacting to him. 'Fuck'.
After having dropped off Kiba and Shikamaru, Naruto had still yet to get those onyx eyes out of his mind. Finally on their way home after getting Jiraiya home, all the blond wanted to do was sleep. Resting his head on Gaara's shoulder, who didn't react at all, Naruto closed his eyes; as he drifted off the sound of soft laughter, that was dark and felt like warm melted chocolate running throughout his body, echoed in his mind with the image of red lips turning up in amusement, Naruto felt his own answering smile curl up as the darkness consumed him.
~O00o00O~
Gaara's PV
As Naruto fell asleep on his shoulder, Gaara ran his hand through the gold spiked locks softly, his lips curling up at the blonds' small smile.
"Oh is Naruto sleeping?" Iruka turned to look at them from the passenger seat, smiling at them. "Aw, you two look so cute." At the glare Gaara gave him Iruka's smile just got wider, the redheads glare intensified when he noticed Kakashi's eye twinkle.
"So Gaara, how long had Naruto and Itachi's brother been talking before we got there?" Kakashi inquired, his eye showing a mix between overprotective and amusement.
"From when we got to the parlor." Gaara told his father softly.
"Hmm." Stopping the car, Kakashi turned toward Gaara. "Don't worry. I'll get him Gaara." Getting out of the car Kakashi gave the keys to Iruka and opened the back door. Gently picking up Naruto bridal style with Gaara following, Kakashi grunted softly. "Hm. It's been awhile since I've done this, but he's still my small fox."
"Don't call me small." Naruto murmured, turning himself closer to Kakashi's chest. All of them smiled at Naruto's automatic response, even when he's sleeping, to the word 'small' being said within hearing distance of the blond. Iruka held open the door for Kakashi as he went through with Naruto. Taking off Naruto's shoes, Gaara then followed Kakashi to Naruto's room, holding the door when it was needed. Stepping into the familiar blue and orange room that he knew like the back of his hand Gaara turned down the blue with orange swirls blanket, he watched Kakashi set down Naruto, helping him strip the blond to his underwear. Watching Kakashi tuck Naruto in, Gaara smirked.
"Shut up." Kakashi looked away from him and headed to the door. "And get yourself into bed mister."
"Okay." Gaara's quiet voice, made Kakashi smile as he walked out the door. Turning back to Naruto's face, he smiled at his brothers smiling face and softly ran his hand through the golden locks. "I hope he makes you happy Naruto." Standing up, Gaara left going to his own blood red room across the hall.
Not hearing the soft voice say behind him as he closed the door, "Me too."
Sasuke's POV
"So you and Naru seem to be getting along well."
Sasuke looked at Itachi and smirked. "And here I thought I was being more secretive about it."
Itachi's dry stare made Sasuke smirk even more, and Sasuke turned his attention to out the window. "The sarcasm is not needed."
"Really? But it keeps everything interesting." Sasuke watched Itachi in the reflection in the window as his brother flipped him off and kept his attention to the road ahead of him. Heading home made Sasuke feel more relaxed and he let his head rest on the head-rest. Wishing he had gotten the chance to talk to the singer more, Sasuke sighed, irritated from the shortening of time they were able to spend together.
"Can we seriously listen to another song?" Sasuke demanded, when he finally noticed what song it was.
"Why? I like this song," Itachi gave him his evil smirk, "and besides, I think this matches your feeling perfectly."
I can't catch a single breath baby,
Help me now, help me now
Hurry up it's killing me the way I need your mouth to mouth, mouth to mouth
I can't catch a single breath baby,
Help me now, help me now
Hurry up it's killing me the way I need your mouth to mouth, mouth to mouth
Sasuke glared at him, cursing his brother to the depths of Hell. The song in question was a new song that Sasuke had only heard a handful of times. Wishing death to Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez, 'Why did they make this song!', he snarled at his brother and turned away, wanting to wipe that smirk off his face.
"Now Sasuke, it's not very nice to wish for my death."
Hating his brother's random moments where he seemed to be able to read his mind, Sasuke grabbed his iPod. Plugging in his Beats, he turned his music up, ignoring his brother's laughing face. 'Man he sucks.'
Happy when they finally turned into the circular driveway Sasuke looked at his brother, "So, what did you mean earlier when you said I'd be seeing him again? Cause I have a feeling you weren't just referring to after the concert."
Itachi turned his own onyx eyes to his younger brother, the amusement within them showing through his cool mask. "Well, dear brother it very much wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, now would it?"
Sasuke glared at him, his eyes becoming hard as stone. His face showed his annoyance as he turned away from his brother in disgust and jumped out of the car. "You're an ass."
Ignoring his brothers' laughter that ran free behind him, Sasuke went into the mansion and headed for his room. 'Could he be more of a dick at times.' Wondering what he'd done in life to have a brother like Itachi, Sasuke pulled off his shirt as he walked towards his bed; already having shed his shoes and pants at the door. Bouncing on top of his bed Sasuke rested on his arms, the thoughts of his, ('yes his'), foxy singer, who seemed to make him ache for more. With the thought of those ever-changing blue eyes behind his lids, Sasuke drifted to sleep, anticipating their next meeting.
~O00o00O~
Naruto's POV
"Naruto! Get up!" Iruka's voice bellowed from downstairs, startling Naruto from his sleep as he bolted up. Grumbling Naruto made his way downstairs, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Seeing Gaara waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs with a coffee mug directed towards him. Giving him a tired smile in thanks, Naruto headed towards the kitchen where the wonderful smell of bacon and syrup made its way to the hallway.
Sitting at the table, Naruto almost choked on his coffee when he caught sight of the time. "Irukaaaaa! Why are we getting up so early?!" It was 9 o'clock in the morning, 'It is an unholy hour to be up.' Since Naruto and the band were home schooled they didn't have to wake up until 11, at the earliest.
"Naruto, I'm pretty sure we talked about this days ago." Iruka ruffled his hair.
"Huh?"
"Today we have a group meeting with Jiraiya."
Naruto sputtered, "But we just saw him last night!?"
"Yes, but this is a formal meeting." Iruka handed him and Gaara his breakfast, Kakashi had been ignoring the conversation around him, more interested in his newspaper. Gaara was just drinking his coffee, nodding his thanks when breakfast was placed in front of him. Naruto grumbled a 'thanks' and dug in.
-Time skip :)-
It was because of this that Naruto found himself, not 2 hours later, standing in Jiraiya's office with the rest of the group, plus Kakashi and Iruka.
"Hey Brat!" The office door swung open, a familiar blond women walking in, her normal hair in pigtails, blue eyes and her buxomest chest almost busting out of her shirt as she stormed into the office and walked towards Naruto.
"Granny!" Naruto jumped into her arms.
"Tsunade! How many times do I have to tell you?! Stop slamming the doors, with your strength you'd probably break them." Jiraiya threw his arms up as if to say 'seriously'.
Tsunade glared at him, "You want to say that to me again?"
Jiraiya paled with the force of her glare, "Um, never mind."
Tsunade nodded, "I thought so."
Naruto looked up at her, "Wait Granny, why are you here?" Granny Tsunade was the head of the many home-schooling teachers the group had, she was also the groups 'assisstant' manager. She was supposed to help Jiraiya, though Naruto always thought that she just did the work since Jiraiya doesn't do anything except for hunt for women for 'research'.
"Well brat, how about we sit down then Iruka can tell you the reason, hmm?"
"Oh okeei dokeei." Naruto let go of her and led them to the couches, followed by the rest of the group.
Sitting on the couch, he turned to him. "So what's up?"
Iruka looked at them nervously, "Well guys, since your all about to be doing your last year of high school, we decided that it would be great it you spent it with other kids your age."
"Yeah, I don't get what your trying to say...?" Naruto drawled out slowly, not at all seeing where this was going.
"Naruto...guys, we want you to go to high school."
They all just looked at him blankly, unable to process what they just heard, then, as if a bomb went off, they all reacted at once.
"WHAT!?" Naruto and Kiba being the loudest, even Gaara was shaking his head in a negative.
"W-Why do we need to? We already interact with our fans and other people we know! There's no need for us to go to high school for the last year!"
"Well, guys we feel it would be good for you. You guys, interacting with fans doesn't count, they don't know you personally, they just know your fame." All of them just looked at him in shock.
"Oh, and this isn't up for suggestion cause all of your parents agreed to this." Jiraiya added his own little piece, causing another round of 'what?!' from the group.
"Guys don't worry. It'll be fun," Kakashi injected with an eye-smirk.
"Says you! You don't have to go." Kiba said, reflecting the thoughts of the whole group.
"Not even that, but some of your teachers teach at the high school your going to so you won't have any problems."
"Wait a second," Shikamaru injected, "don't we have to do an entrance exam to get into a high school, so how can you even know what school we'd be going to?"
At this, all the adults in the room smiled an evil smile, leaving the group somewhat confused.
Kakashi, deciding to take pity on them, told them the reason for the smiles. "Do you guys remember a few weeks back, when your teachers gave you a test and told you it was an aptitude test to see how much better you'd gotten in your studies?" The group all nodded, "Well, those weren't aptitude test, those were your entrance exams disguised as aptitude test." Kakashi's evil eye-smirk was on full force now, the group were left speechless at the careful planning that went into this.
"You guys suck." Naruto turned his face away from them pout on full force, his cheeks puffed out when the pout was ignored, knowing they'd make them do it.
~O00o00O~
Sent to the cafeteria not long after the discussion, the teens started harping on the adults while they were having some of the frappes from Starbucks.
Iruka's POV
"So do you think they realize that we're hiding something from them, yet?" Kakashi inquired.
"Probably not. They're probably still pissed about having to wake up before 10 o'clock." Tsunade said, as she grabbed a cookie from the tray, the rest of them nodding in agreement.
"So are the guards Itachi have here yet?" Kakashi asked, looking at his watch.
"We're here."
