Cirque De Singularitie

Chapter 2

Some time passed. Rehearsal and even the performance went well. During the latter Naruto and Sasuke went by their fake names to ensure they wouldn't be taken away. If it did happen then Kakashi would step in. Things seemed to be going surprisingly well.

After moving from the town, Naruto was calmer. He felt safer. He appreciated Kakashi and Tsunade's hospitality and didn't want to put them in danger. Since leaving, he didn't wear the mask anymore. Sighing, he sat down for supper at the ramen shop at the next town they were in.

Life seemed to be going so well for all of them. Currently they're heading to their next location which is further away from where the two princes fled.

Tsunade had suggested they meet at the local ramen shop for a family dinner, Tsunade and Kakashi's treat. As Naruto say down, he looked around for everyone else.

Kakashi is there already along with a few others. The rest are still needed to arrive. This is done at night of course to ensure those who can't be out in the daylight can join in.

"Hey, Kashi! Tsunade!" He smiled at them as Kabuto came in and sat down as well. Tsunade smiled at Naruto as she sat down by Kakashi.

"Hey," he gave a soft smile, knowing he would have to spend some time with his wife in due course, thinking he just wanted to enjoy this meal first with everyone else.

Shikamaru walked in with Sasuke as Itachi brooded in a corner. The newest additions, Kiba and Neji, came in and sat down by Naruto and Sasuke. The long dark haired male with lavender eyes took in his surroundings.

Meanwhile, the brown haired guy with wolf ears that's probably the circus's alleged wolf man sat beside the second strongman in their group of misfits.

Dinner was served. Tsunade, ever the drinker, ordered sake for everyone. Soon, the group was laughing and talking, the alcohol relaxing them all a bit. A band started playing.

Each of them drank and ate their full. With music on and all it would prove to be a fun night.

Naruto got up to dance as the dance floor started to fill. Grinning, he liked the fast beat. "Sasuke! C'mon and dance!"

"I don't dance," glowered Sasuke, taking another sip of sake.

Naruto stuck his tongue out. "Hey, Kiba! Come on!" Naruto yelled. Naruto refused to ask Kakashi...he knew he had a crush on the boss man, and since said boss was very, very married, he was very, very off limits.

"Sure," yipped Kiba, getting up to trot over to dance with the blonde.

Naruto enjoyed dancing with Kiba. He was laughing and having a good time.

Tsunade was laughing, laying her head on Kakashi's shoulder. Naruto ignored the jealousy.

Kiba enjoyed dancing with him too. It was fun.

After awhile, Naruto sat back down at the table, sweaty, shirt sticking to him. Tsunade had gotten up, dancing as Kakashi wasn't a huge dancer. "What, Kashi, you don't dance?" Naruto asked, panting.

"Not really," admitted Kakashi, turning the page of his book he carries around with him.

Kiba went to sit, but put Neji in his lap because why not. Cleary there's something between him and he isn't going to sit idly by to allow anyone to take him for themselves.

Naruto leaned over Kakashi, looking at the book. "Whatcha readin?" he asked, still breathing a bit heavy. Neji blushed at Kiba's possessive behavior.

"Nothing for younger people to read," he winked before stowing it away on his person.

Kiba nuzzled Neji's neck affectionately. So far he hadn't met any resistance.
