Class, for lack of a better word, sucked.
Stuck in one of his least favorite places, and one of his least favorite classes to boot, Uzumaki Naruto had made no hesitation skipping out of the stuffy math class he would have probably slept through anyway.
Really, the more he pondered it as he raced up the stairs to the not-so-secret door that no one ever bothered to lock, the more he realized that it was sheer dumb luck he was even technically a junior at all. But, despite that one failed class and the abysmal but somehow barely passing grades in all the others, here he was, half way through these four years of hell and already quite ready to be done with it all and face the real world.
After all, there was only so much you could learn from sitting and not paying attention to a lecture, right?
Not that there was really all that much to be learned from the top of the building, either... unless there was some hot girl up there already who wanted to give him an in-depth anatomy lesson. And, while he was skipping math at the moment, even the blonde-haired boy knew that the probability of that happening was slim to none.
The young man stepped confidently onto the concrete, glancing around the roof quickly to see if anyone else was around. Teachers could be found up here sometimes, taking a quick smoke break... he had to be careful of them, even though he was pretty sure that smoking on school grounds was against the rules even for the teachers and he could use it against them if he needed to.
Though, at the same time, if they were on the roof, they weren't really on school grounds...
Fortunately for Naruto's conundrum-stricken brain, it appeared he was the only, or at least the first, person on the roof for the time being. Someone really needed to drag a couch or some lawn chairs up here or something, but in the meantime, he could satiate his boredom by watching the girl's PE class out on the track below.
...As long as Sakura didn't find out, anyway.

Sai did not skip class, so he was not privy to Naruto’s shenanigans. He knew that his friend didn’t always attend class, but he always wondered what it was Naruto did when he skipped. What was the point of going to school if you did not attend the classes? It seemed an awful lot of work to be a delinquent. Sai decided that when he did not see Naruto in math class yet again he would see for himself what skipping was like. He’d simply get the work off of someone else to make up for it, but the boy was in a position where losing one day would not impede him anyhow. Naruto was not in such a position. Slipping out was remarkably easy, mostly because no one bothered to mention it. Or was it because he was so unnoticeable? Sai didn’t know how to feel about that. While it was usually a negative, in this situation it was positive, right? He gave that thought about a minute before he dropped it. So he wandered around the school, finding other people who skipped too. Nothing was really happening. There was no party, nothing that was exclusively for skippers, just students hanging around not doing anything productive. Yet he could not find Naruto among them. Well, it may be rude to re-enter a class he just bailed out on, so he decided that he’d have his first skipping experience doing what he hadn’t done for a long time. The view from the roof was satisfactory but the lack of expected isolation had put him off returning. He walked up and exited the building to stand on the roof. Oh look, there was Naruto now. Normally a person would call a name, make their approach obvious, but Sai simply walked up beside him, and looked out to try and see what he was looking at. There seemed to be a bunch of girls running. ‘Ah…’ It wasn’t terribly exciting, yet his friend seemed absorbed in it. Would it be rude to interrupt his viewing pleasure? Sai stared at him. Just stood there and stared. It was probably better to just wait until Naruto grew tired of the underdeveloped females running about.

Oh yeah... Girls in t-shirts and spankies running laps beat a stuffy old math lesson any day. All he needed to do was make sure no one saw him up here on the roof, but the gym teacher seemed far too involved in his youthful monologues and encouragement to look up and notice the vagrant blonde. This was definitely the best way to ride out the last sunny days of the year before Japan's eternal cloudy grey set in for the winter... all he needed was a soda and some snacks to watch the show with.
In all his oggling, however, Naruto failed to notice that he had company up here in this not-so-solitary place. That was, until said company made himself known with a small vocalization, sending the blonde boy three feet into the air with surprise.
"Holy...!"
Sai. Sai, Sai, Sai. That kid really needed to learn how to make his presence known in a not scary, stain-in-pants, heart-attack inducing way.
As soon as Naruto knew it was only the ebony-haired boy, and he wasn't busted and in for another round of detention already, he calmed down the tiniest bit, though it would be a few minutes before his heart rate went back to normal.
"Damn it, Sai!" Naruto muttered in a hushed tone, glancing around quickly to make sure no one else had noticed the commotion. "What the hell are you doing up here? You're supposed to be in class!"
It occurred to him only after the words had passed his lips that he was supposed to be in the exact same place as the awkward quiet boy now standing next to him. So, yeah, that made him a bit of a hypocrite, but... who was he going to get the homework answers from now? Sakura would be angry with him for skipping if she found out, and there was about a snowball's chance in hell that Sasuke would help him out, the asshole.
But, all implications aside, the blonde was a bit curious as to what made the other boy skip class. He never really pegged Sai as the type...
"Hmm?" he asked again, folding his arms and looking over at the man. "I mean... you can stay up here, just don't blow our cover, and duck when anyone looks up."

Sai smiled. "If anything is going to get us into trouble, it will be that big mouth of yours." He said, with that condescending pleasantness of his. "Though I will make sure not to give us away." He never had a detention before, either, but knew that was not worth experiencing.
He glanced over once again to the running girls. It was a rather pitiful waste of time. There had to be better ways for Naruto to live out his voyeuristic fantasies, and it begged the question if he really should be. Given Sakura's reactions most of the time, women did not appreciate being oggled so. That was not much of a problem for Sai. "You are, how should I say... Dissapointing me."
He went on to explain, glancing back at him. "I noticed you skip often, and I was wondering what was so tempting about it. It's a waste going to school if you don't bother with the learning... I thought you would do something more interesting at least." Nevermind what was interesting was purely subjective, really. Naruto and Sai simply didn't share the same opinion in what made valuable use of time. For instance, Sai would be the one who would stay in class, listen, and copy down whatever was needed. He did this not because he enjoyed the class, but because it was neccessary. Then he would be able to help Naruto and be useful. Unless he was somehow helping the Phys. ED class with his attentions, what Naruto was doing was very useless.
He put on hand on his hip, tilting his head to the side. "Is this really all you do?" He lifted his hand, and his thumb brushed over the strap of his bag. His art supplies were in and his hands felt strangely unoccupied... He was used to writing this period, and an urge to start drawing was gripping him. If Naruto had nothing better to do, then he'd serve as a model for him.

Kiba was, for better or for worse, the kind of kid who found the desks really comfortable. A place where resting your head on your clean sheet of paper that should have writing on it, and closing your eyes was a dream come true. You see, in school, the monotonous classes and the horribly boring lectures were like lullabies. It was like they were begging you to go to sleep. Not only that, but for more or less, have the better dreams than anyone got at home. If napping in school was such a crime, then why did they condemn kids to this beautiful napping-haven? No matter what, Kiba would never understand. And truthfully, neither would the teachers.
“Inuzuka, Kiba! That is the last time I will see you sleeping in my class. I don't care what your excuse is; Go to the detention room and wait there fr the rest of the period. Maybe you'll find the quiet room more suitable to sleep in.” It had probably been the third time this week that Kiba had been caught sleeping during her lecture, however, at least this time he wasn't caught doing it because he fell out of his chair. The teachers had it all wrong, really. Kiba Inuzuka was someone who rarely shut up, and yet, you take that privilege away from him and he will fall asleep on you. Yes, it is all the schools fault one way or another. Though it didn't take a braininac to figure out that the smile radiating off the boy was one of sheer joy to get out of the classroom. Well, no one said the kid liked school.
Once the door was closed to the classroom, there was no way you were going to expect the boy to return to a different classroom. Oh hell no, like that was going to happen. Kiba had a bit of a different plan. In fact, he didn't see Naruto in there, and chances are, the boy was on the rooftop. Don't ask how he knew this, it was just logic. When you have a bromance that strong, you can sense where the other is. It's like telepathy, only, well, gayer. Turning on his heel, the brunette quickly started pacing down the bland hallways. Yes, bland. They wouldn't want anything distracting you from your learning, now, would they? It's just another reason to fall asleep.
Though it didn't take long for the hyperactive boy to wake up. After rubbing his chocolate brown eyes once, he was already rearing to go. Especially when where he was going didn't involve boring classes, or people's murmurs and note passing. Sitting next to Shikamaru didn't really help either. The tattoo-faced boy continued his journey, for having nothing to get distracted with really did put you in places much faster. There was a slight skip in his step and a bit of a grin on his face as he dodged a teacher or two and fled to the rooftop entrance. Now, Kiba wasn't necessary one for dramatics, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Knocking on the door, (more like pounding three times), Kiba spoke in the deepest, most teacher-like voice he could muster, ”Stop your shenanigans! I'm coming through and I want to see no one with their pants dropped!” Letting out a light laugh at his own humor, Kiba grinned from ear to ear, hoping that it would at least freak Naruto out. Hell, it couldn't fail. Though Kiba never really considered the fact that if any teacher was in fact up there, or any figure of importance, he could be in deep trouble, he continued on anyway. Throwing the door open Kiba's grin slowly turned into a you-guys-weren't-doing-what-I-said-right look, as he saw Sai. Sai. Someone Kiba would have never expected to be gone from class. In fact, he usually expected him to be there every day, and didn't really pay attention to the fact that he wasn't in math class.
Shaking his head the brunette walked towards Naruto anyway, swinging his arm around him and pouting as if he was really hurt. ”You left me in class all by myself..You could have at least told me you were ditching... ” Kiba was forcing tears to his eyes (not that it was very convincing), ”I mean, you brought Sai along!” pointing at Sai and pouting further. It seemed as though two seconds passed before Kiba took his arm off of Naruto and decided to lean against the short wall of the rooftop, and sat down against it. Scratching his head and allowing his grin to surface, Kiba shrugged, ”Just remember to tell me next time, dude!” Laughing slightly he looked back over to Sai, ”I didn't thin you had it in you to ditch! I'm proud, Sai! I always thought you were glued in place; you're always paying attention like a dog with a chew toy, man.” Streaching his arms out, the dog-like boy sighed, looking back over to Naruto, ”Oh, and I blame you for getting me yelled at again in class.” It was always astonishing how Kiba could take the smallest thing and elaborate so much on it, yet say the same thing over and over.

"Ha ha, shut up." Naruto shrugged at his grudging friend. "I do whatever I want."
Really, if Sai was looking for a point to skipping... "There isn't really anything specific you're supposed to do. You just... don't go to class. You can go get food, or go to someone's house and play video games for the period, or..." the blonde trailed off. Yeah, so he was right, and it was a waste of time. But so was class, when you thought about it...
"I mean... There's no point in being in class if you're not paying attention, either, right?"
He looked back down at the PE class he had been spying on; while he had only been paying attention to the girls during their warm up laps, the class had apparently divided into teams for a game of soccer, boys and girls mixed. While the blonde boy preferred baseball he wouldn't mind playing some soccer right about now either... though somehow he doubted he'd manage to blend in to the class with his hair and lack of PE clothes. No, it would probably be best to just sit and watch for the moment, since he'd have PE later anyway, and a single measly game of soccer really wasn't worth getting in trouble for.
"Do you know if anyone has a car?" he asked Sai, not bothering to look at the other male as he spoke. "I've got a little bit of money and I want to do a lunch run today." Of course, even if someone did have a license and a car both, driving other kids around was illegal, but... since when did THAT matter in his circle of friends?
...It dawned on him slowly that Sai really was right: this was actually kind of boring. Sure, girls were nice and all, but they were too far away to really see and none of them were all that stunningly attractive. With a sigh, the blonde sat down on the concrete before stretching out on his back and staring up at the sky. Shikamaru liked to do this after all... maybe he'd see some interesting shapes in the clouds or something stupid like that.
Because even staring at nothing was better than class.
At the loud pounding against the door, however, the Uzumaki jumped up and looked unsuccessfully for a vent or wall to hide behind. Damn, Which teacher had caught on to him already?
Fortunately, it turned out that once again, it wasn't actually anyone with any authority, just another asshole friend.
"Dude!" Naruto exclaimed, shaking his head as the brunette man revealed himself, doing that cocky stride thing as though the prank he had just pulled was oh-so-hilarious. His scowl softened a little, however, when Kiba forced the obviously fake sniffling on him, and Naruto couldn't help but grin. "Come on, it's math! It's everyone for themselves, man!"
While Naruto wasn't a homophobe, there was only so long that two straight guys should be touching each other, and Kiba was definitely skirting that line at the moment. He shoved the brunette's arm off his shoulder with more ease than he expected, nodding in agreement as he pointed out how odd it was to see Sai of all people up here in the middle of class. "Guess we've converted another one to the dark side, Kibs."
He paused for a moment, pondering. "Dude, don't blame me, it's not your fault she hates you and I'm just so sexy that no one else compares."

Sai admittedly, jumped a little when Kiba impersonated an authority figure, but he just continued to blankly stare, with laced annoyance, at the boy as he proceeded to talk. He was like a dog..? He also noticed “man” seemed to be a common end-phrase, or maybe that was just in the current moment? The hug that transpired between them seemed to be a good idea. It really showed the companionship between the two, and Sai wanted in on it. He failed to notice, of course, that Naruto had a time-limit when it came to this side hug between males.
As they talked about him and skipping, he silently thought to himself that it was probably not going to be too much of a repeat. It was a matter of satisfying curiosity. He wouldn’t satisfy it with drugs, underage drinking, and other more severe forms of delinquency, so he needed some outlet. He slipped the strap off his shoulder, giving the fastening a small ‘click’ as he opened the bag, and reached into one of the pockets. He slipped out the set of keys, holding it in his grip discreetly as the two were occupied, and readjusted the bag in the meantime.
Just as he was straightening up to his full height, he wistfully replied to Naruto’s ego trip. “You’re talking about Sasuke-kun there more than yourself. Our teachers prefer him over you, but that’s something you must be used to.” He then wrapped his arm around Naruto’s shoulder, parroting what Kiba did but being significantly more blasé about it.
“It’s alright though. You seem to have the support of most of the male population. If I had to choose, I’d choose you.” He then smiled over to Kiba, letting him join in on the ‘support Naruto’ campaign. “Wouldn’t you agree?”
While his arm was still around him, almost oblivious to the discomfort, his hand moved in front of his face, dangling the set of keys. “Where would you like to go? I’ll take you and your friend for a ride.”

Kiba grinned wholeheartedly at the fact that Sai was bashing Naruto's ego a little. Who would have guessed that the most awkward kid he knew would turn out to be awesome? Yes, one agreeing statement or one in Kiba's favor is enough for you to be put on the good list until you did something to offend him. Basically, unless you became a prick overnight, Kiba still loves you. ”Heh, I'm sure I don't have the best record, dude, but I'm sure the teachers don't like you anymore than me... Heh, besides, the pretty-boy Sasuke's up all the teachers asses. There's no way you're going to get that deep.”A crude smirk arose on Kiba's face, soon turning into an all-out grin.
Although, looking at Sai at the moment, with his arm wrapped around Naruto much like he did five seconds ago (or what seemed it to Kiba, as the boy didn't pay close attention to anything and couldn't estimate time worth a shit) the dog-boy couldn't help but start laughing. You see, Kiba liked to push Naruto's buttons, and he did so whether it be on purpose, or accident, in which case, it was funny nevertheless. Watching the two boys made Kiba more than happy, as when awkward moments arose, what better of a time to pull out your phone? Flipping it to the camera in what seemed like 0.6 seconds, the brunette slyly( or not at all) documented the ucious moment with a beautiful picture. It'll be nice to remind Naruto of the touching moments he had on the roof.
It was then that Sai's words about taking Naruto's side on the Naruto vs. Sasuke throwdown (anything was a throwdown when it came to a rivalry in Kiba's mind) and immediately a sideways smirk formed on his face. ”Hell yeah!” he nearly yelled throwing his fist up, “That prick needs to be put down a few notches!” There wasn't any denying that Kiba loved a fight, or seeing someone he didn't like one-so-ever be brought to justice. Cracking his knuckles after his statement, the tattooed boy got a bit of gleam in his eyes, as if he were imagining the Uchiha being thrown off his high horse and into the mud.
Though it wasn't too late before Sai once again proved a new way to distract Kiba. It wasn't that hard, but when you dangled keys in front of him his eyes lit like lights on a Christmas tree. ”Dude, hell yeah! Where're we goin'? Food sounds good. I'm friggin' starving. Or just anywhere off the schools grounds. I don't feel like dealing with getting in trouble for not going to the detention room or whatever the hell the teachers call it now..” If Kiba really was a dog, he would be wagging his tail. He had his license, but no car, and with how his mother drives, no one would really expect the kid to be able to actually get in a car and not crash it. Though his smile faded and he looked over to Sai, and made an attempt to glare, ”How in the hell do you get a car and I don't have one yet?!” Knowing the answer anyway, he still had to ask. Now, if Naruto got a car before he did, the world would surely have to be thrown out of whack.

So... Naruto liked hugs. In a totally manly way.
But this was just ridiculous.
Granted, it was Sai, and Sai was more than a little socially retarded. At least this was better than his near-constant jeers about how the blonde didn't have a penis. He was actually being legitimately nice today, which, if anything, was almost creepier than when he was being an asshole.
He was getting better at that, though.
Tentatively, he put an arm around the obsidian-haired man's shoulders for a second, returning the friendly, if really awkward, gesture. Of course even Naruto had his limits. he opened his mouth to protest the increasingly uncomfortable situation, when something far more interesting appeared before his cerulean eyes:
A bright, shiny car key.
This was definitely worth enduring the awkward.
"Sai, when the hell did you get a car?!" Naruto exclaimed, reaching greedily for the keyring with an evil grin growing across his face. "If you'd choose me over him, that means I get to drive, right?"
No, Naruto didn't actually have a license. But he'd driven before, and he was going to take that stupid test eventually... and it's not like driving was hard, anyway.
"We could go get some..." he nearly said ramen, but he had that possible date later in the day... Then again who was he to actually vary his diet?
But still. Naruto shrugged, feigning indifference. "I could eat anything right now," he admitted with a slight grin, the rumbling of his stomach agreeing with him as if right on cue. "One of you pick, and give me directions that don't suck. We'll have plenty of time to get to wherever and back before lunch is over."
Oh, food, glorious food.
It was only after he got done salivating that he finally took a step away from Sai. Yeah... one of that kid's next lessons needed to be about personal space.
"So, how about it, huh?"

They both seemed to really want to know why he had a car. He could explain at length about how he took driving school for such and such money, and how it would be a waste after that investment not to use his knowledge on a regular basis, and not to mention the fact that he was the unofficial chauffeur of a crippled but still rather influential retired military general. Sai had learned something in his leisurely research.
Simplicity was often best.
“My caretaker Danzo needs someone to drive him around. I have done well in driving school so he saw it as a mutual benefit to give me a car.”
He also learned that hunger was a feeling that, while unpleasant in itself, made a person impatient too. Naruto and Kiba were both hungry, so he mercifully took the keys out of sight, and proceeded to head toward the stairs. They would follow, surely, even if he didn’t really provide any sort of indication. As he walked, he glanced behind him toward the eager Naruto. He was sorry to disappoint, but…
“There is only so much trouble I can get into for one day. It would be best if I drove. You’ll get distracted by old ladies crossing the road with their pretty grandaughters and get us all killed.” He smiled. He could have said ‘I know you don’t have a license’ but pushing Naruto’s buttons was a rather useful skill. “I’m practicing my exaggeration.” He added, which practically killed any wit in his insult.
These were ‘good natured’ insults between friends, right?
His car was not the newest thing on the market. It was in need of a wash, as dust on black was not in these days. It was in one shape though, with only hairline scratches in places where people probably brushed against his car with their doors in close parking spots. All that mattered was that it got them from point A to B without mishaps and complications.
He opened the driver’s door, and reached in by the handle to push down on the button that opened up all the doors. He’d let them scuffle over who got ‘shotgun’ but was certain to hear protests from the dearly persistent Uzumaki about driving. “You can both try to persuade me for the way back, if you’d like.” He told them just before he slipped in.
“Seatbelts, children, and keep your body parts inside the vehicle.”
He happened to glance out of his window. There were two girls in the gym uniforms whispering to each other and pointing in their direction. Ever the frank one, he drove around and got up closer, rolling down the window. They seemed to have strayed from the other group, so they weren’t in danger of being seen by the very flamboyant teacher. It did startle them, but that’s what they got for hanging out around the parking lot.
“Can we help you?” He asked, smiling, and they squeaked and squirmed in surprise. ‘How… Cute?’ At least that’s what a normal teenage boy would say.
“Ah… Nothing, nothing.” One held up her hands, while the other leaned in and whispered, casting a quick glance toward Naruto.
“I told you it was him on the—“ “Shhhh….” They were both blushing, shifting awkwardly.
“Unfortunately he’s not interested, but we’ll let you take this one here off our hands if you’d like.” He inclined his head in Kiba’s direction. Naruto liked Sakura, after all. Or that was what he knew it to be.
“Th-that’s fine… We’re just, ah…”

It didn't take long for the boy to get tired of sitting, just like it didn't take him long to get tired of other things in life.. namely, school. Which is part of the reason Kiba was so ready to jump the gun and leave campus. It would be a winning kind of deal. He would get food with he little money he had, and he would get off and away from this stupid place. Yes, it was, in fact, his fault he was in danger of failing almost all his classes, however, that didn't mean he was going to start being a start pupil all of the sudden. In fact, Kiba never saw a reason to change what he was doing now; it was good the way it was. If he changed that, then it wouldn't be as fun. In the boy's eyes, when the time came he may change, but for now, well, he was still young and ready to go.
Though Kiba did have to let out a bark of a laugh at Naruto even thinking that he was going to be able to drive. Hell, if Naruto, who didn't have his license, could drive better than him, then maybe he'd deserve to drive. But until he got that shiny piece of plastic that authorized you to drive to all pigs in the country, he wasn't going to be able to show Kiba up just yet. ”No way in hell you're gonna get to drive if I don't!” Kiba had no valid point, but he still thought he deserved the right to drive over Naruto. Though when Sai put in his argument, that about there made Kiba want to keel over. Sai got Naruto, and he did it well. Kiba wasn't saying he was any better, but, hell, it was funny. ”Or any ramen shop that we have to pass ,” the brunette chimed into Sai's comment, not noticing what he had said thereafter.
Following Sai to his car, Kiba shoved his hands in his pockets and walked at his own pace, hoping that Sai would at least have a nicer car. Meaning, basically, that Kiba wouldn't be shoved in what seemed more suitable for a trunk than a back seat. Yeah, Kiba actually liked the back seat, however, when it felt like his knees were in someone's back, well, that's when he liked to draw the line. As he emerged further into the parking lot, a smile once more took his face as he knew that black little car was the key to his freedom. Coming back after lunch? He didn't plan on it. At least, that is, if he was able to get away with it. Though when was he not? Allowing himself to fall in the back seat, Kiba made himself comfortable, sitting in a position where he could stretch his legs out, and yet, still be leaning up against both the door and the seatback at the same time. ”Dude, your car officially rocks. Oh.. and Naruto?” Looking over to Naruto he put his hand on the blond's shoulder, grinning, ”If either of us get to drive, I call dibs!” Laughing the boy sat back down, not noticing for a few good seconds, that they weren't headed out just yet.
It seemed like just as they took off, they stopped. In front of a few average-looking girls, too. Well, it wasn't a total waste, but still, food and freedom come first. ”Wh-” Kiba stopped as Sai began talking to these girls. Did he know them or something? Watching as Sai talked, he looked back and forth between him and the girls, trying to decide just why this was such an important conversation. Not even that, but mostly what the girls were whispering to each other. After a few seconds he'd usually stop caring, but they were saying something, no doubt, about Naruto. It's just what that Kiba couldn't get ahold of. However, it didn't take long for something to snap him out of his trance, as Sai spoke towards him, making the brunette look a bit like a confused dog until the words caught up with him. Grinning he looked back to the girls, not really caring what they said, ”I would, I would, but I've already got plans. Sometime later, maybe.” Holding his hands up as if to say he was sorry, Kiba did a small wink then sat back in the car. Sure, he wasn't serious, but it was still nice to fuck around, even if you didn't know 'em. Besides, they were both a 6 at best.

Naruto nearly sprinted towards the car in excitement to leave.
The thing about skipping, however, was that you needed to walk with purpose. If you made it look obvious that you were out of place, the teachers would stop you and ask what you were doing, and running and acting completely ridiculous was a good way to incite suspicion. But, walking calmly but confidently in a small group made it look less like playing hooky and more like they were on their way to a group project in the library or getting materials from another teacher.
...That, and he had no idea where Sai had parked.
"Psh, I bet I can drive just as well as either of you assholes," he grumbled under his breath, sulking a little at Sai's words even after he had 'explained' himself. Just because he liked, as he had once heard an old master refer to them, bodilicious babes didn't mean he could really be distracted so easily by one. It's not like he'd ever put them in danger over some girl. Now, for ramen, on the other hand...
"Shotgun!" Naruto yelled as soon as exactly which car was Sai's became apparent, oblivious to the fact that Kiba wanted the back seat anyway. He jumped into the passenger's seat with a victory smirk, adjusting the seat back almost all the way just to fuck with the brunette boy stuck in the back seat for a moment before putting it back up (albeit lower than it was originally). Of course, just because he didn't have that stupid rectangle in his wallet they were going to give him hell; really it was just a dumb thing. A thing to make sure unskilled people didn't do something silly. But he was plenty skilled, even if he didn't have the little card in his wallet that said so.
Whatever, he'd just deal with Sai's driving. It's not like it was really a big deal anyway, as fun as driving twice the speed limit and generally acting like a reckless teen was, really it wasn't something that couldn't be sated by a long Mario Kart run when he got home. Not to mention the chances of him driving that fast in Tokyo traffic were next to nil. He'd just have to snag the keys next time they went on a roadtrip or something.
But, for some reason, they stopped before they had even gotten out of the parking lot. The hell? He might have to usurp the steering wheel from Sai after all; what the hell was he stopping for?
Leaning over the pale driver, Naruto found his answer. Sai had stopped to talk to two girls, apparently from the gym class he had been spying on. "Hah, sorry ladies, but I'm busy today," he joked, grinning out the driver's-side window at them - he could tell they were talking about him by that weird girly way that they whispered and tried not to point - before leaning back in the seat, crossing his arms behind his head. "Maybe some other time though?"
The girls didn't seem so impressed by his flirting (though, as much as he'd hate to admit it, he was sort of used to lackluster reactions). Rather than giggle and try to hide their smiles, they just seemed to shift their weight and whisper between themselves more.
"Dude, let's just go," he muttered to Sai, nudging him in the side with his elbow. This was starting to make even him uncomfortable, and Naruto wasn't exactly known for his bashfulness.

Off they went.
They were off school property at last, heading into the heart of things. He drove as any driver would, taking some liberties but keeping things from heading into the extreme. Since nobody stated their preference, Sai figured they may as well head to the first place they saw… Actually, scratch that, they just passed by a dango shop. Sai and preferences didn’t seem to go along, but the silent boy had his. His lips twitched slightly as he passed. His least favourite food was mitarashi dango. He moved along, keeping an eye out. A large yellow M sign caught his eye.
Oh look, he was already pulling in.
“Shall we get the happy meals for you two?” His smile could be seen in the review mirror, so condescending. “I’m sure they’ve got some cute little figurines for your collection.” He unbuckled himself, and slipped out. Sai was not all too fond of this type of fast food, but he had a feeling his two companions would like some burgers and what not. He was not that big on meat, preferring tofu, and above it fish, but he was certain there was something there for him. They had a McCafe after all, and various other things.
Locking up his car once everyone was out, he went over to the entrance and held the door open for the two, meanwhile taking a quick glance inside the interior. Painted looking more like splatters of bright paint against white, which while it worked for the atmosphere, made him appreciate the McCafe corner of more detailed quality, where there was an artsy downtown layout in dark green hue. He slipped in after his classmates, and turned his attention from the walls to the menu.
“Ah, can you order one McFlurry for me?” He asked as they stood in line, taking out some yen and passing it to Naruto. “I’m going to go to that side and get myself a coffee.” It would be more efficient that way. It was lunchtime and there was the feeling of a full restaurant, meaning there were limited seats. The line for the coffees was naturally going faster, meaning he could get the coffee and save them a place to sit and eat. He did just that, ordering his coffee black and taking a four seat booth table tucked away in the corner. He hoped the two wouldn’t do say something inappropriate while waiting in line. No matter, he would not be a part of it so he could not be held accountable.

Kiba Liked car rides. There was no particular reason; he just liked them. In fact, he was one of the more annoying people who like to drive with the windows down, sometimes shout at people he knew (or didn't) as they drove past. Even today, Kiba insisted on rolling down the window in the backseat. It was nice, at least to him, until the helicopter noise rang through the car. One noise that particularly was annoying. Especially when you were driving. Which is why when he drove he let all the windows down. It solved the problem. Though most girls hated it when the wind messed up their hair, who cares? They still looked fine, and the boy made a point of saying so. Then again, this was a car full of dudes (sausage-fest!) and they were ditching and getting food. Food.
Thinking about it, the boy was more hungry for something containing meat. It made no sense to Kiba when people were vegetarians. He likes his meat, and nothing (unless he had to kill Akamaru for it) would stop him from eating it. Grinning, the brunette boy got out of the car as it pulled into the parking lot of McDonalds. People should know, that the essence of fast food didn't register in his mind. Fast food was just another type of food that was made faster because he was hungry. That was the end of the story. As he began walking towards the restaurant, he heard Sai say something about the toys in the happy meals, and immediately turned around, still happy as cane be (they were out of school, getting good food, how could he not be happy?), ”Hey! Akamaru loves to chew on those things!” Kiba didn't know how getting one would be bad, however, he never honestly did. When you asked for the toys, normally they just gave them to you with a 'what the hell are you getting a toy for, psycho?' kind of look.
Quickly, the boy went inside, and walked the line towards the two registers they had in line. Scanning the menu, he knew what he was going to get, ”Er- A chicken club meal,” The chicken club was the best. It had beacon on it. Beacon. Enough said. Racking his pockets he pulled out his wallet, scanning through it and hopeing to god he had enough money. Nearly 100 yen from not being enough, Kiba handed the lady the money and took the drink she gave him, beginning to walk away, before turning right back around, as if forgetting something. ”Oh, and can you throw in a toy with that?” Ginning, Kiba thanked her, and gave a slight wink before taking his leave to the drink fountain, and getting the orange drink they always have here. He swore it wasn't soda because it wasn't bubbly, however, people usually disagreed with him, or said it was just as bad as soda. Lidding the drink, he threw the straw into the it, and turned to look for Sai. Scanning the resturant, he noticed wuite a few people eating, already sat.
It didn't take long to find the black haired boy, and he nearly jogged there, happy for food like a puppy getting treats. ”Thanks for saving the seats, man” He sat down across from the other, waiting to hear his order up, as he noticed Sai only had a Mcflurry. What was wrong with him? ”Dude, are you anorexic? You came to McDonalds, and out of their millions of things you don't get actual food?” You could swear this was his first encounter with someone who preferred not to eat fast food, however, most would assume he just doesn't get why you wouldn't. Most of the ones who guessed the latter were more than likely correct.

Naruto was a man who appreciated honesty.
And honestly, he was so damn hungry he was going to gnaw off someone's arm if he didn't get some food soon. Anything. Really. He was in serious need of a trip to a grocery store; he had run out of even instant ramen in his apartment and subsiding on kool-aid and popsicles wasn't nearly as awesome as it sounded.
Fortunately for him, Ichiraku was close to his house; unfortunately for him, Ichiraku was expensive. There was a reason the blonde ate the instant ramen most of the time.
Well, that and his own kitchen was closer than four blocks down the street. But that was really beside the point.
So, honestly, Naruto had absolutely no problems with raiding the dollar menu. Sure, some people didn't like McDonalds for their practices and their western food, but, honestly, he didn't give a damn. Food was food, and he was pretty sure his peers would be more okay with him shoving a burger or four down his gullet than if he decided that cannibalism sounded like a good hobby to pick up.
The strange girls from the gym class completely forgotten, he jumped out of the car as soon as Sai parked and nearly busted the glass door down in his hurry to get in the line for food. Of course, given that it was getting close to lunch time for more than just the local high school, there was already a line. Fortunately for him, in a fast food joint the lines moved fast; unfortunately for him, his friends were assholes and Kiba had decided that cutting in line was apparently completely kosher today.
Though... that Chicken Club did sound delicious....
Finally, it was his turn. "Hi," he began, holding back a snigger as the girl running the register shot his brunette friend an evil glare; he had no idea what the Inuzuka had done but he decided that he probably deserved every iota of malice being sniped. "Can I have... three McDoubles?" He paused.
"...And a Large fry?"
He pulled his wallet out of his back pants pocket, pausing again.
"And a large McFlurry."
Yeah, that sounded like it would tide him over for the moment.
"Do you want a toy, too?" the cashier drawled, turning her stare from the back of Kiba's head to his. Maybe he would have been concerned or taken aback or something under normal circumstances, but, in all honesty, he was too hungry to really notice.
"Nah. Too old for that stuff," he said, glancing longingly over his shoulder at the chicken club meal being carried away from him and over to the table Sai had already claimed for Team Fuck-Math-Class.
He pulled the bills out of his wallet and handed them over to the cashier with his usual ridiculous grin, ignoring her eyeroll and overall lack of enthusiasm for his order. That was okay, he would be enthusiastic enough for the both of them.
Soon enough, the tray that sported his rather extreme order appeared next to the register on the pick up counter, and Naruto grabbed it and nearly sprinted for the table, last to arrive and get a chance to eat.
Honestly though, he wouldn't be surprised if he was the first one finished.
