Hello Hopeless Blue Kiss here and I would like to thank all who have reviewed. I was like 'aaaahhhhh' when I heard people liked this story. I mean I'm glad that people liked it. It's just that I wasn't actually expecting so many reviews though. But seriously I didn't know how I was going to continue this story. I was like what crazy things can they get away with on YouTube… that YouTube would actually allow and what about poor Naruto? So okay I tried another chapter for your sakes… but I don't know, maybe I failed or something. But I hope you enjoy and review anyway. Also I do not own the songs Mr. Lonely by Akon or Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger and I don't own the moves Tom Cruise did in Risky Business either. Got you interested in what I planned, didn't I? Well you'll see soon enough so bye. Oh and important note on bottom.

Those comments, and more then a hundred more like it, glared at Naruto from across the room. Each word seemED to glow from the screen of his laptop. And even though his computer sat way over there on the other side of the dark room it was still taunting him; as well as that black, empty window where the video had been playing just a few minutes ago. At the moment it had a faint image of the last image from the video with the 'watch again' or 'share' option on top of it and above all the comments displayed. He just scowled and shifted on his bed so he could turn his back towards the stupid thing.
His lids scrunched up together as they tried to close as tightly as they could. His lean frame nearly curled in an impromptu fetal position with his covers across his waist. Then with a sigh he rolled back onto his back when after a few heartbeats he couldn't force himself to sleep. How could he when the world at large was probably laughing at him now? He could have been gaining a stalker each minute for all he knew.
'Stupid, stupid, STUPID!' he chastised himself in his own head. His fingers immersed themselves into yellow locks, clutching the buttery strands as if ready to yank them out. His mouth parted to let out a silent scream at his frustration. And not even him beating the crap out of the little munchkins had stopped his video from being taken down. That's why he wasn't leaving his room… Ever.
Naruto had decided to hire someone to set a lock on his door with a key only he could use. That same key was nestled on the top of his bare chest, the cold metal was more then a bit warm from the warmth radiating from under it. He didn't care if Iruka-sensei or that closet pervert Ebisu disapprove of him beating up the others or using a lock. But he had threaten to leave the foster home that he had been working at ever since he was deemed old enough not to be a problem for the government to deal with. Naruto vaguely remembered arguing with the older adults about needing privacy before thrusting an accusing digit at the YouTube clip of him before giving his ultimatum.
Curtains were firmly drawn close to block out the sun until the blonde didn't know whether it was day or night any more. He only left the room when it was absolutely necessary to do things like eat or something along those lines. But seeing as his bedroom connected with a bathroom that was more of a half bathroom with a shower, sink, toilet and medicine cabinet he didn't need to worry about coming out too much. Especially since he stopped by the grocery store to stock up on some food that he could easily make in his room with a small microwave for his ramen, and a mini fridge for things like orange juice.
He nearly smiled at the thought that he had gotten the fridge at a reasonable price at some garage sale. And it was almost practically new seeing as the wife that was getting rid of her husband's stuff wanted to sell the new things at dirt-cheap prices. Naruto vaguely wondered to himself if he should become a hermit or a monk but shook his head at the thought of walking around bald and at one with nature. 'It's not like it will take away thatvideo,' he thought bitterly.
His fingers grew tired of going back to the skip button when the song he was listening to had finished its round. So sighing and finally deciding to shift to his side he drew his hand blindly to reach for the repeat button on his stereo before turning it up some more. Then falling back as the first beats began to throb through the entire room he began to sing along with the reassuring weight of the key telling him no one would tape him.
"Lonely… I'm Mr. Lonely. I have nobody, for my ooowwwnnn. I'm so lonely…" Naruto began to sing in a morbid tone. His body already rolled backwards so that he could lie on his back again. His blue orbs stared once more at the ceiling as he continued to murmur the words to the song. His voice actually spiked in volume when he heard the first round of knockings against his door for that day. 'Didn't they see I don't want to be bothered?' He sighed inwardly allowing his world to go finally dark as he closed his eyes.
OUTSIDE OF NARUTO'S ROOM
'I'm so lonely (so lonely), I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely) I have nobody (I have nobody) To call my own (to call my own) girl
I'm so lonely (so lonely) I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely) I have nobody (I have nobody) To call my own (to call my own) girl
Cant believe I had a girl like you, And I just let you walk right out of my life, After all I put you through, You still stuck around and stayed by my side, What really hurt me was I broke your heart baby, You were a good girl and I had no right, I really want to make things right, Cause without you in my life girl I'm so...'
"Kami I hate when he does this," Sakura hissed glaring at the door. It was as if the strawberry blonde had actually thought that the door would quake and shatter at the sight of green eyes boring holes into it. The disapproval that came from her stance alone spoke volumes as she placed her hands on her hips with one foot on the door as if testing how dense the material was. "I can kick it down if it comes to that," she finally announced, her lips quirking up slightly at the thought.
"Well I don't want you to go kicking down the door. Brute force isn't going to help him or the house for that matter," Iruka began to reason. His fingers were wringed together as he looked at the door that blocked his view from his blonde charge. The brunette had noticed that almost since the boy was little when he was depressed he'd lock himself in his room. And not just lock himself in his room but also he would either sing the song 'Mr. Lonely' a cappella, with the original singer Vinton Bobby or now to Akon's new version. It was depressing to hear both him and the music coming through the door, albeit slightly muffled.
Iruka could even distinctly remember when for more then a week he had played that song when Gaara and him had finally broken up. Well technically speaking they didn't break up it was just that Naruto's old boyfriend had to move nearly across the country and it had put the blonde in such a funk when it finally happened that it had seemed forever before Naruto was willing to talk or smile again. And now it seemed as if Iruka was back to square one with the blonde and it hurt him to know and to see him so removed.
That's why he had invited Naruto's friends over to see if they could pull him out of the spell he had cast on himself. His chocolate brown orbs glared down at the three miscreants that had caused this need for an intervention in the first place. There was no pleasure to be had as the kids shrunk back from the look given to them and no relief given to his heart when he could clearly hear Naruto turn up his music. Although the deafening kick given to the bedroom door had made him jump as Sakura nearly pulled her leg fully back to deliver another blow.
Quickly the older male had grabbed the girl's ankle, gently enough so that she didn't fall but hard enough that it would be difficult to pull free from his grasp. "That will be enough Sakura. The door doesn't need to suffer for Naruto's stubbornness, now does it?" he asked giving her a strained smile. His digits only uncurled from her ankle when he was sure that the short-tempered girl had calmed down enough to ask silently for her leg back. His eyes barely registered the apologetic look Sakura gave to him even as they widen in surprise at a crashing sound coming from inside Naruto's room.
INSIDE NARUTO'S ROOM
'I'm so lonely (so lonely), I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely) I have nobody (I have nobody) To call my own (to call my own) girl
I'm so lonely (so lonely) I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely) I have nobody (I have nobody) To call my own (to call my own) girl'
'This was sabotage!' was the only real thought Naruto could get out as suddenly he found himself with company. 'How could this have possibly happen?' he thought as he slowly sat up in bed. It almost felt like a dream as a bit of light first streamed into his drearily dark room. And then suddenly there was someone climbing out of his window and that someone had a small friend that had quickly hopped out of the intruder's hoodie to bark at Naruto's presence.
"Who the hell do you think you are coming through my window?" Naruto began to yell before wincing as the curtains were drawn apart. His hands were over his eyes like he was some vampire in a cheesy scary movie trying to fight back his archenemy 'Mr. Sun'. A soft hissing sound came from him as his pupils shrunk to near pinpricks to adjust to the light that his room now had an abundance of. "Make it go away," he begged as he turned his face from the light. But all he could hear was more rustling noises as his other window was thrown open.
"Dude you live like a pig," someone snorted.
Then Naruto heard the sound of something being kicked across his junky floor. He frowned in disapproval, allowing his eyes to ease open a crack, the stars that he had been seeing a moment ago faded away as his orbs soon adjusted to the light. And Naruto would have preferred to wait a few more minutes before turning around but when he saw the intruder turn off his radio and a small body hopping on his bed he snapped. His fingers groped around for his discarded pillow before he threw it at the intruder that could be no one but Kiba if the cream-colored pup on his bed was anything to go by. "Bastard!"
"Heh you know it's sad you getting all depressed because a bunch of rugrats taped you singing. It's kind of hilarious if you actually think about i—" Kiba began to rebuke his blonde-haired friend for being so dense when he was tackled down. Strong arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him down onto the messy floor before a punch was nearly delivered to his face. A curse fell from his lips as he saw how close the fist has actually came to connecting with his face. The trembling hand hovered just inches from his nose before he had instinctively grabbed Naruto's wrist. "Dude chill I was only joking!"
"It's not a laughing matter," growled out Naruto. His blue orbs narrowed to near slits as he prepared himself to head butt his friend if need be when the sharp barks of Akamaru alerted the blonde to another presence in his room. His chapped lips pulled back in a snarl as he looked at another of his friends that had decided to trespass into his room. The window being the obvious choice for the ponytail-wearing friend as he calmly and collectively made his way to the door to unlock it. "Shikamaru."
The boy in question didn't answer, bored orbs looking over at his two friends on the floor before he wrapped his hand around the doorknob. His fingers already removing what he believed to be the unnecessary extra locks put on the door. His mind not even bothering to talk about how 'if Naruto had used his real lock in the first place' before it focused on the task of opening the door. Shikamaru smoothly stepped back to allow what seemed a pink haired girl to stumble into the room. But even the lazy genius knew that it had always been strawberry blonde. "Mission accomplished," he said lifting his hand upward in a careless salute.
The brunette was ready to step out the room and let whatever happened in there happen without him. But when he felt a hand grabbing for his wrist, halting him he aborted all movements thinking it too much effort to get up enough energy to struggle. He just looked back at the older man that had stopped him. Shikamaru had a vague idea that the supposed guardian of Naruto was going to thank him or something. He was almost tempted to roll his eyes at the usually predictable person before his eyes seem to wide a fraction in surprise in what came next.
"It's not right to use such methods Nara Shikamaru. What would your mother think if she found out you were an accomplice in breaking and entering? Heh you didn't think I would say that did you?" Iruka allowed himself a small smirk before he turned his head to point his finger accusingly at Naruto and Kiba. His brown eyes narrowed at the two friends that looked like they were going to wrestle right then and there whether others were in the room or not. "And Naruto please get off of Kiba he was only trying to help," Iruka scolded before letting go of Shikamaru. "But yeah of course thank you for helping," he murmured softly giving Shikamaru a small smile.
'There we go,' Shikamaru thought after a few heartbeats. He was almost sure that he was losing his touch or something but when Iruka had turned to him once more with a soft thank you and appreciating look he knew he wasn't that far off the mark. "Tch, what a drag," he murmured to himself as he glanced back as the older brunette tried to celebrate the feuding boys. His body was already quickly turning to leave before he was called on to help settle the problem inside. His hands shoved down into his pockets as he made his way down the stairs where Hinata, Shino and Chouji were waiting.
Shikamaru's bored gazed drew towards the only female that was downstairs, tapping her index fingers together as she waited on the results. A hand gently waved the dark haired girl to take a seat before he allowed those unbelievably pale orbs to look up at him questioningly. Shikamaru didn't even need to be a genius to know who was going to voice the status of Naruto. Just by his quick survey of the room and the personalities of the people downstairs at the moment he knew that Chouji was too busy munching on BBQ potato chips to risk pausing to voice the question. Shino was definitely the silent type and by the lazy genius's calculations voiced an average of ten words a day, twenty maybe if pressed. And then there was Hinata… The caring and shy girl who had been harboring a crush on Naruto until just recently when she had decided that they were better off friends and had been steadily going out with Kiba since.
'Yep she should be asking about Naruto right about no—' thought Shikamaru waiting patiently to get this ordeal over with.
"I… how is Naruto-kun? He's okay right? I mean I heard some noises but I'm su… I'm sure that everything is fine," Hinata began to stumble out as she looked up at Shikamaru. She knew she had disapproved of the idea that Shikamaru had come up with to lure out the blonde. But really it had been more then a week that Naruto had decided lock himself in his room. And it wasn't very healthy to stay just cooped up in a place like that listening to a somewhat depressing song over and over again. It just made her feel completely useless that all she could do was sit back and wait until her friend either came out of his small depression on his own or the other boys forced him out of it.
Shikamaru opened his mouth to speak but hearing footsteps on the chair he decided to lean up against the wall. 'They'll explain,' he thought when he was reassured by the fact that he didn't have to try something troublesome like resting fears to rest. His body already sought a wall to lean back against so he would have something supporting him up and not just his legs.
"Naruto's okay Hinata. Don't worry I had to noogie him a few times to snap out of it. But yeah he looked like crap before I even did that so no harm, no foul," Kiba announced as he came down the stairs with the aforementioned blonde in a headlock. But he nearly stumbled down the rest of the stairs when Naruto decided just then to jab him in the ribs with his elbow to break free of his hold. A curse issued from him only to be half choked back by remembering his girlfriend was there and muffled by Naruto's cheerful greeting.
"Hey…" Naruto trailed off waving weakly.
'Did I think cheerful greeting? I meant depressing halfhearted,' thought Kiba as he rubbed the place that was struck.
"Naruto-kun it's nice to see you," Hinata murmured softly as she stood up. The mug of tea in her hand was sat gently back down before she offered him one of her warm, little smiles. Her petite frame hesitated for a moment before she suddenly walked up to him and hugged him. Her face a hot pink as her muffled voice told him how much his friends had missed him. Then suddenly she realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt and quickly backed away murmuring a soft, "Sorry."
"It's nothing Hinata-chan. You were just happy to see me," Naruto quickly explained waving her apology away. The smallest of smiles seemed to work its way on his lips despite itself even as he scratched his chest. It wasn't as if he wasn't wearing clothes… I mean he did have a pair of navy blue pajama bottoms on. And he still bathed daily so it wasn't as if he wasn't rank either… it was just it felt to constraining to wear a pajama top to bed.
He hoped that she wouldn't start to keep her distance from him just because she saw him shirtless… It seemed to close to that time she had accidentally walked in on him in the shower. He laughed nervously as he remembered that, his hand going to rub at the back of his head. It was an error on both of their parts, and it had taken two weeks for her to look him in the eyes again. 'Let's just say Kiba was pretty pissed at me for that one,' he thought smiling ruefully to himself.
"Ahem. Now that the two of you have finished hugging and you have finished spacing out Naruto, lets go. I want to go to this new place that just open up," Sakura announced clapping her hands together in excitement. She couldn't stay annoyed long with her petite friend, Hinata, but Naruto was a different story as she began to push the blonde back towards the stairs. "Next time you come downstairs when girls are here, put on a shirt. Now get dressed. And quickly! I don't have to tell you what would happen if you don't come down at a reasonable time, do I?" she growled out the last part threatening before giving the guy a good push.
She smacked her hands together as if she was dusting them, ignoring the fact that Naruto nearly tripped as he tried to steady himself after that powerful push. She sent a warning look his way when she heard him muttering about, 'You guys barging in. So it's your faults anyway.' But just as she was turning to look at the others to explain the new place she just found she found a look of disapproval marring her features as she saw how the others froze to look at her.
Her emerald eyes widen in surprise as she saw that even Chouji had actually stopped eating his potato chips to look at her. His fingers still clutched a potato chip that was halfway to his mouth before he froze. And it seemed it took everything in her being to stop herself from yelling, "What!" out. I mean she knew she was being rough with Naruto, especially since he was still fresh from being depressed but, 'Seriously he needs tough love to get him motivated. 'I mean I only boss him because I care,' she rationalized her sometimes violent relationship with the blonde.
She moved towards one of the chairs and yanked it back before sitting down, her arms crossed over her chest. She gave everyone a look daring anyone to say anything on the matter before Iruka walked in. She vaguely heard him asking anyone if they wanted any snack or beverage and the tension seemed to break as one or another person requested something. And so now a bit more relaxed the strawberry haired blonde thought excitedly about if she'd meet any hot guys at the new place.
NEARLY FOURTY MINUTES LATER
"Is anyone looking my way, Kiba?" called out Naruto worriedly. But from where, no spectator could say because as the cautious voice spoke, the person soon ducked into a nearby alley.
"Naruto I swear to Kami above if you asked that question again I'll have to kick your ass. No offence Hinata but he has it coming," Kiba grounded out between clenched teeth. Then quickly looked apologetically at to his pale-eyed girlfriend before turning to glare at his best friend. The canine lover had even gone as far to vouch that he would personally make sure that Naruto came to the new place Sakura mentioned so she wouldn't beat the poor blonde to a bloody pulp for taking so long to change.
And it seemed that now as they were walking towards their destination, Hinata clutching the directions in her hands, Kiba truly regretted deciding to chaperone his friend. A best friend that was still determined to blend in with the scenery around him so he wouldn't be spotted as if he was some famous celebrity or something. And for just a moment Kiba panicked when he thought he had lost Naruto. The thought of Sakura taking her rage out of him made him take actions quickly.
He was already turning around to cup his hands over his mouth to yell out the goofballs name. He even tapped Hinata's shoulder and asked her to help look for their friend since she seemed to have a good eye for searching people out. But just as he was about to call out Naruto's name and demand where he was, some guy looking at a newspaper bumped into him. "Hey watch it bud… Naruto?"
"Sorry about that Kiba but are you sure no one is looking?" asked Naruto looking over his shoulder nervously. His hands quickly folded the newspaper that he had snatched up somewhere before tucking it under his arm. Then reaching with his fingers he drew down his dark shades slightly to look at the suspicious crowd with those big blue orbs that seemed one of many startling remembered features of his.
But that wasn't what had both Kiba and even Hinata gaping at their blonde haired friend. Not even the glasses seemed to deter them much… it was the thing on his head that had them thrown. I mean they could specifically remember that when they had left with the blonde he had been dressed in a fishnet top and overtop of that were relatively new black t-shirt with an orange tribal leaf (Konoha symbol) in the middle of the shirt, accompanied by a pair of comfortable looking blue jeans, a black, clothed wristband that said 'I (heart) Ninjas' and some Nike shoes so old that the 'n' threaten to fall off to just spell 'ike'. And although he still wore the original clothes, he still managed to accumulate the aforementioned newspaper and a Rasta Tam Dreadlocks Hat that completely covered his blonde hair.
Kiba didn't know whether to laugh, yell, or check his friend into a mental institution as he saw his friend in that hat. I mean he was bordering on just sending the blonde into the mental institution but before he could finalize that decision he doubled over in laughter. His arms clutching his stomach as he tried to breath between chuckles, tears were clearly shining in his eyes. Kiba was almost afraid he might pee himself from laughing so hard as he pulled out Akamaru who had been barking anxiously from the hood of his short sleeve brown hoodie.
"Shut it Kiba! What the hell is so funny that you have to have everyone looking over at us?" asked Naruto in a loud whisper before he quickly jerked out his newspaper. He quickly ducked his head under there, the top of his Rasta Tam Dreadlocks Hat, still clearly seen. The blonde growled when the paper was snatched from his nearly trembling hands, blue eyes glaring down into a laughing pair.
"Oh my fucking god Naruto. You've done some crazy things over the years but this… this right here tops them all," Kiba guffawed. The brunette had to hand his girlfriend his dog because he was afraid he might drop his pup or hurt him in some way if he held him any longer. His hand was however still clutching the newspaper that he had snatched from Naruto. But before he could laugh at his friend some more, Naruto had pushed passed him, tan cheeks reddening in embarrassment for having unneeded attention drawn to him.
"Stupid Kiba, drawing attention when I want the opposite to happen," growled Naruto even as he began to walk ahead of them. He knew that his so-called friends were following behind him and before he knew it Hinata was at his side. He barely offered a glance her way, noticing that she held the pup carefully in her arms so that he wouldn't fall as she sped up to meet Naruto.
"Kiba-kun… Kiba-kun didn't mean anything by that Naruto," Hinata nearly gasped as she tried to catch her breath. She looked down at his feet and quickly tried to lengthen her strides with his so that she would be able to keep up with him no matter if he was only walking at normal pace.
"It sure as hell seems so to me," Naruto grumbled but he slackened his pace for Hinata's benefit. A grudging smile was given coupled by a friendly bump of his shoulder with her own was given to reassure his petite friend that he wasn't at all mad at her. "Why do you date him again?" he questioned, half jokingly.
"I…" But before she could get pass that one word, an arm was thrown on either of Naruto and Hinata's shoulders before it pulled the two close to Kiba's form.
"So what were you two talking about?" he asked before letting out a stray chuckle as his eyes gravitated to Naruto's headwear for a moment. "You know you stick out more with that hat on," Kiba tried to suggest with a straight face. But it suddenly crumpled when the blonde in question gave him a perplexed look.
"Really?" Naruto asked in a small voice. He looked over at Hinata to confirm what Kiba had suspected all along. "Does it Hinata?"
"I… well…" Hinata began feebly before Kiba interrupted yet again.
"No point trying to state the obvious to him Hinata. Let's just see what the others think because apparently we are here," the brunette announced before pulling away from the two. He then opened the glass door to the place that Sakura had been raving about, his had pushing insistently at Naruto's back before the blonde could wonder at the shop's sign that said simply 'Click'.
But it seemed that he had to put all his efforts in restraining his best bud when the blonde realized that they were in a cyber café. The latest computers that were lined up all around the wall of the place except for the countertop and the doorway, as well as the tables that had a few laptops on it declared it for the place it was. And it seemed very posh and comfortable with some pillows littering one corner in case someone would rather sit back, reclined among them as they typed away on their computers. Although Kiba couldn't even try to realize that because of course he was still struggling with his friend.
"Why the hell would you guys bring me to a place like this?" growled Naruto ready to hightail it out of there and back home if possible. But just when he thought he was going to make some headway he found other hands grabbing and yanking him into an incredibly comfortable chair. He glared, ready to say some readily made retort but he only managed a 'hey' when one of his friends, he couldn't tell who, snatched his hat off his head.
"Tch, you look ridiculous in that. What are we five now?" Shikamaru drawled out lazily. He couldn't help being amused by his friend's antics, probably one of the reasons that they were still friends. It was because the expressive blonde in front of him could stir any boring day into something troublesome albeit easily remembered.
"Hey we ordered some drinks for you guys and if you don't stop moving around like that Naruto it will spill," Sakura said warmly though she made sure to cut her eyes at Naruto so that he would get her point. She didn't stop glaring until he relaxed back into his seat, arms crossed and something akin to a pout on his lips, before he looked grudgingly down at his cup of hot chocolate.
"Why did you bring me to a place like this? That's all I'm trying to figure out," Naruto asked after a few heartbeats. He was done brooding, and he was thirsty enough to take up the crème colored mug with the words 'Click' and took an experimental sip. He nodded his head in admiration of the taste. And he had to admit he was glad that there wasn't some froufrou whipped cream or foam that would hinder him getting down to the good part.
"Well besides the fact that you needed to get out of your room I really wanted to check this place out. I mean this place had always had a sign that said 'coming soon' in the window and now it's here. I mean sure you have to pay for Internet usage but you can get all the free drinks that you want although snacks such, as muffins and stuff are extra," Sakura began to elaborate before she waved her arm around to include the whole place.
"But you know how I feel about technology right now…" Naruto miserably trailed off. He tried to take another sip of his hot chocolate but found that he had drunk the whole thing in his nervous state. So numbly he set it back down on the table before he tried to reach for his novelty hat. Which, he might he add, had provided a perfect disguise since it had fooled Kiba long enough. But Kiba seemed to have taken such an interest in the object that he was now putting it on his head and asking how he looked to Hinata.
"Didn't stop you from using the microwave to cook your precious ramen," Kiba snorted, as he flipped the fake dreadlocks over his shoulder. "Oh hey Naruto can I burrow this? I want to see if my boss can recognize me at work if I come there wearing this. Though then again he acts like he's a bit stoned… He might actually think he had hired someone new or something," Kiba said thoughtfully then grinned at the thought. "I love my job."
"Kiba you don't seem to understand that this is suppose to actually help me with my disguise. Not help trick your boss into possibly giving you two pay checks because he thinks you are two different people," grumbled Naruto.
"Okay now you really have to let me borrow this. He'd probably would too which is the funny part," Kiba laughed. He barely noticed the little disapproving look of his girlfriend who would probably have words with him later about tricking his boss like that.
Although at that moment Naruto was already standing up to snatch his hat back from off his friend's head but just then Shino pushed him gently back into his seat. He looked up questioningly at his usually quiet friend before the spiky haired brunette ventured to speak.
"Here I ordered you some more hot chocolate," was Shino's own reply before he settled down in his own chair again. The silent teen had already used up his average ten words quota if you included the two words it took for him to say 'Hot chocolate' to get his request out to a passing waitress.
So not wanting to have to press Shino to have to say more then he had already said that day Naruto settled grudgingly back down in his chair. He only spared a scathing look to Kiba before he noticed that Sakura had been looking at something on a nearby laptop that had it's sound turned down so as not to disturb the others. He looked at Shino for permission to stand before venturing over to the girl he had a crush on when they were little. But just when he was about to ask what she was watching that had her giggling, he nearly froze in place.
"Hit replay again," he suddenly ordered. He looked seriously at Sakura daring her to deny his request even as he read the title on top of the small video window of the YouTube site. The video was this time authored by a LazyBoy19 and in bold print on top of the screen was written 'Blonde does better Tom Cruise.' He briefly glanced at the description he couldn't help but read it as his friends gathered around him and Sakura. 'The boss featured in KoNoHaBrAtZ's video is a close friend and I manage to capture footage of him duplicating the dance seen done in Tom Cruise's Risky Business. (less)
Sakura hesitated before she turned up the volume slightly so that they could hear without it not being too loud. Then she hit the replay button and the video started up, each person stood in silence waiting for the music of 'Old Time Rock and Roll' by Bob Seger to start up somewhere in the background:
"Start the music," came a male voice from somewhere. But all the camera showed was a huge entrance that showed the entrance and staircase along with a plant, but nothing else. But as soon as the first piano keys were played out slide Naruto, into the middle of the entrance.
He wore nothing but a dress shirt, some tightie whities, socks, and a candlestick holder just like Tom Cruise in the movie. His back was facing the camera and he only turned when the first words were played, his blue eyes smoldering, even as he lip-synced the words into the candlestick holder.
Just take those old records off the shelf I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock n' roll
He began to strut his way towards the camera, throwing a dangerous smile when he was close enough before he moved towards the fireplace of the living room. He then placed his hands on top of the mantle and began to swish his hips to the beat, that perfect ass of his moving as he still lip-synced the lyrics.
Don't try to take me to a disco You'll never even get me out on the floor In ten minutes I'll be late for the door I like that old time rock n' roll
He tossed a come hither look over his shoulder, winked, turned and tossed the candlestick holder to the side. He then picked up the fireplace poker that was in its proper place and began to strum it like it was his own personal guitar. He walked up onto the short living room table, and ripped his shirt open a little before jumping down onto his knees. Legs parted wide as he decided to use the poker as an impromptu microphone.
Still like that old time rock n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n' roll
His lean frame leaned back as he continued to sing, his head thrown back carelessly, letting blonde locks fly as he rode the swell of the music. His face seemed intent in his drunken madness as if he believed each word before he sprung up to his feet. Then he moved his way to the couch wear he fell back against it. And did the crazy little shaking dance that Tom Cruise had did on the bed, including the flipping on his stomach to continue before jumping back up and jerking his collar up.
Won't go to hear them play a tango I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul There's only one sure way to get me to go Start playing old time rock n' roll
He rocked his hips to the guitar rift, before turning to play his air guitar. And even though he had looked foolish doing that couch move he came back with his own impromptu dance even though Tom Cruise had stopped dancing at that moment. He rolled his hips even as he ripped open the rest of his shirt. He smirked as he tossed it aside revealing a whole lot of well tone, golden flesh as he mouthed more of the words. His fingertips skated down his neck and across one of his nipples that seemed to be hard from the possibly cold room.
Call me a relic, call me what you will Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock n' roll
He then fell down onto his knees, and reached his hand out to the camera as if he wanted to pull either the cameraman or the viewer close to his body. His hands fluttered to his heart as if he was saying silently that he was a sentimental fool that loved the classics.
Still like old time rock n' roll That kind of music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock n' roll
As the music died away, Naruto spoke. "Who said I didn't know the dance Shika? You owe me fifty for that," he said grinning up at the camera, before giving another wink. "Now don't just stand there, help me up," he slurred before the video stopped. And there was complete silence as they all turned their eyes to look at blushing blonde who still had managed to say nothing after a minute.
"N… Naruto-kun are you okay?" Hinata asked reaching out to touch his sleeve. She felt very sad for the blonde, sorry enough that she pushed aside the fact that she just saw him dancing around in his underwear.
"…"
"Heh never knew you rocked tightie whities man," laughed Kiba somewhere in the background.
"…"
"Hey stop that Kiba you aren't helping the situation," Sakura scolded though she couldn't help a snicker to escape. She then looked up at Naruto with her hands pressed to her mouth to gouge his reaction. But just when she was about to ask him if he was okay, Naruto suddenly spoke.
"…"
"Shikamaru I thought I told you to burn that video," Naruto hissed out. He quickly remembered how during the night that happened there was no one at the house but him and Shikamaru. And they had been having a few beers while watching the old movie Risky Business. He had vaguely remembered Shikamaru saying that he couldn't do that dance, and to prove him wrong he had run upstairs, changed and told him to hit the music. He had only noticed he was taped after the next day when he was coming down from his hangover. And now… now… "Run!" roared out.
He turned to look for the lazy genius so he could pummel him but Shikamaru had already did a disappearing act, calculating Naruto's possible reaction. The blonde cursed and tore off after him, wanting more than anything to go for the kill.
A/N (original) - As I explained before I was stuck on how to continue the story when I had truly wanted to get that first chapter down and just push any more thoughts of this story to the side. But then I was surfing YouTube and remembered seeing on this show someone doing the sliding move, but I didn't know which movie they were mimicking and could barely remember the song it was played to. So I googled the bit of the song I remembered, found that it was from Bob Seger, then managed to connect it to Risky Business the movie Tom Cruise danced in and was like Naruto has to sooo do that. I'd definitely pay to see Naruto dancing in his tightie whities. Though I guess anyone would probably die in embarrassment after that, I still hope you enjoyed.
Oh… if you want to see the scene Naruto was mirroring then type in 'Tom Cruise Risky Business Dance'.
