Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Next Fifteen ❯ Spotlight ( Chapter 1 )

Recently, Konoha has gotten a karaoke bar. It had been going strong for about three weeks before the sand sibs passed it on their way to the hokage's office. They were on a mission to deliver a package safely to the fifth hokage. They were also taking a small vacation, just a day or two to catch up with old friends. Temari and Kankuro both became ecstatic when they saw it was open mike night. Somehow, the two of them convinced everyone, including Gaara and Sasuke to join them. They planned on meeting at seven thirty, just inside the bar.

 

Its seven twenty, ten minutes before our main ninjas and kunochis are to meet. The owner, Kirahara Emiko, takes the stage and announces that the next fifteen people who enter the front doors are to perform on stage, before they leave. The crowd shows their approval by cheering, clapping, and hollering. The owner motions to the light tech to shine a spotlight on the front doors. They don't have to wait for long, not even a minute passed before Sakura, Ino, and Hinata walked through the door. Every one counted along with the owner. One! Two! Three! After being shouted at, the girls almost ran back out. The owner, quickly called them on stage, and they hesitantly obeyed. Halfway up the stairs, the sand sibs joined them. Then the crowd and the owner shouted out “Four! Five! Six!” Before the owner had time to call them up, three more boys walked in; Naruto, Kiba, and Shino. The shouting continues with; Seven! Eight! Nine! The owner called all six of them onstage with Sakura, Ino and Hinata. She finally had a minute to catch her breath and greeted each and every person on stage. She finished greeting everyone and was about to explain when Chouji and Shikamaru walked in and the crowd shouted: Ten! Eleven! She invited the two newest boys onstage, but before she could greet them, Sasuke walked in. Twelve! He was then invited onstage as well. She then greeted the newest of “the next fifteen.” It is now seven thirty-two, and they only needed three more people for “the next fifteen.” After a few more minutes three more people walked in and were bombarded with shouts of “Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen!” and an entire crowd cheering and hollering. They were then invited onstage and they introduced themselves as Tenten, Lee, and Neji.

 

“Since we're all here and know everybody; let me tell you why you're up here. Within the next two hours you all have to sing at least one song! I'll check you off when you come up to sing. If you fail to sing, we'll fine you or something worse. I haven't quite decided what to do yet.” The owner said starting to zone out, she snapped back after a few seconds, “Any questions?”

 

“Do we have to go in the order we came?” Sakura asked, slightly nervous, she didn't want to go first.

“Nope. Any others?”

“Do we have to sing solos?” Temari asked, being her curious self.

“Not if you don't want to,” Emiko replied, “and whoever's in the group will all be marked off for singing. Any one else?” no one said anything. “Alright, who wants to sing first?”
