Thanx
The living room was empty and quiet. The house was quiet. Not empty. No, Temari's immature brothers were upstairs. Probably playing videogames. Temari shook her head. Figures... she thought as she stared longingly at the telephone sitting in the endtable. Taunting her.
"Oh, screw it," she snapped, lunging across the couch and reaching for the phone. Too bad she missed. Temari and all the contents on the endtable slid to the floor, landing in a heap beside the couch.
"Oww..."
Disentangling herself from the phone cord, Temari jumped up and quickly fixed her shirt before either of her brothers could see her in her moment of embarrassment.
Too late.
Kankuro laughed loudly, gripping the railing of the stairs for support. "You're... so... stupid!" He panted inbetween fits of laughter, gripping his side. He continued to laugh as he released the railing and made his way into the kitchen. Gaara descended the stairs soon after Kankuro disappeared into the kitchen, scratching his head. His face screwed up in amusement for a second before his usual, emotionless mask fell back into place. He, too, made his way into the kitchen.
"Well, hell," Temari murmured as she placed everything back on the endtable. Grabbing the phone, she dialed in a random number from her memory. Leaning back and bringing up her right foot onto the couch, she twirled the phone cord around her finger. The typical teenage girl's pose while on the phone.
The dial tone soon began to annoy her, after only a couple rings, when someone finally answered the phone.
"Sakura here, what can I do for you?" came a familiar, annoying voice.
Great... Temari thought bitterly before responding to the annoying pink-haired priss. "I was wondering... if you wanted... to come to a sleepover at my house? I have several other girls coming and awesome games planned...?" Temari hated how her voice cracked at the embarrassment she was feeling. Never in her life had she ever expected to be calling other people, let alone other girls, and asking for something as stupid as a sleepover. Only little kids did that. But, she was desperate from days of being locked inside with no one but her brothers.
A moment of silence on the other end of the line. "Yeah, sure..." Sakura murmured, wary. "That sounds fun. I'll be there in about an hour, all right?" And with that, she hung up, not even bothering to wait for a reply.
Temari sighed. That wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be, she thought happily.
"A sleepover?" Kankuro scoffed from where he was leaning against the door frame leading into the kitchen. There were several large bags of chips in his hands. "Who would want to come to something as stupid as that?"
Temari rolled her eyes and turned around, leaning her chin on her folded arms on the back of the couch. She glared at Kankuro. "Sleepovers are better than shutting yourselves up in the room all day and playing videogames," she snapped, glaring at her younger brother.
"As if," Kankuro snorted.
Temari opened her mouth to shoot back another snark remark, but Gaara joined Kankuro in the doorframe, his arms filled with several cans of multiple varieties of dip, changing her train of thought entirely.
"Save some of the junk food for my friends, you two," she chastised them loudly. "Don't be so greedy all the time."
Kankuro snorted again. "You have friends?" he laughed, throwing his head back.
"Yes I have friends, you moron," Temari snapped again, leaning threateningly over the back of the couch, glaring at Kankuro.
Kankuro opened his mouth to say something back, probably to insult his sister's "large amouth of free time", but Gaara interrupted their bickering.
"That's enough, you two," he snapped, his black-rimmed eyes flicking between Temari and Kankuro. "Kankuro, go put two bags back. We only need two, damn it. And Temari. Stop being such a bitch so much. It's not attractive."
Temari and Kankuro stared at Gaara for a few silent seconds before they both turned away from each other. Kankuro grabbed one can of dip, replacing the gap with two bags of chips, and he disappeared back into the kitchen to replace the other two bags he had tried to smuggle upstairs. Temari slumped down onto the couch and reached for the phone again, dialing number after number, inviting girl after girl over her house for a sleepover and games. She ignored her brothers as they snuck past her and back up the stairs.
Temari sat back, lounging on the couch, waiting for the girls to arrive, when the doorbell rang. "'Bout time," Temari grumbled as she got up and headed for the door. Upon opening the door, Sakura, TenTen, Ino, Hinata, Tsukiko, Rio,and Kimi were all standing outside the door.
"We all met up on the way here and decided to show up together instead of bugging you with ringing the doorbell every thirty seconds," Sakura explained, letting herself into the house and immediately making her way towards the couch. "Although, now I'm thinking that, that would have been more entertaining..." She stared up at the ceiling, pretending to daydream about Temari's facial expression when the doorbell kept ringing every minute until all the girls were gathered in her house.
"So thoughtful..." Temari scowled, stepping to the side and gesturing the rest of the girls inside.
"Down, girl, down," Kimi murmured under her breath when she passed Temari, silently warning her of the outcome of the evening if she didn't keep her comments to herself.
Temari sighed as she closed the door, rolling her eyes at the obscene reference to a dog.
"So..." Ino whistled, twirling slowly in a circle and slapping her palms noisely against her thighs. "You promised me games and food. So where are they?" she asked impatiently, crossing her arms and staring at me from across the room.
"If you would calm down a minute," Temari began, already losing her patience with the blonde airhead, "then you would see where the games and the food are."
Temari began to direct the girls as to where the games were piled up alongside a long table coovered in junk food such as chips, dip, sweets, pasteries, candy, and soda.
As for later, they would have a little surprise from Tsukiko.
The girls set their bags down in the den and all rushed back out into the living room where
Temari was waiting.
"Ok, who's up for a little prank calling?" Temari asked them.
"I am so in on this," Tsukiko and Rio said in unision. They high-fived each other.
"Ditto," Kimi said.
Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata all said yes also.
"Ok, so who's willing to go first?" Temari questioned.
" Oh, I will," Tsukiko said exictiedly.
Tsukiko took the phone from Temari's hand and began to dial Gaara's cell phone.
Upstairs playing video games, Gaara heard his cell phone ringing. Pausing the game, much to Kankuro's annoyance, he flipped it open to see the caller ID was unavailable.
He answered it anyway.
"Hello," Gaara answered.
" I'm under your bed...," Tsukiko said in a creepy stalkerish voice.
Gaara's expression changed to a weird, creeped out one.
"Ummm... I think you have the wrong number, miss," Gaara said.
Downstairs, the girls tried their hardest from errupting into fits of laughter. Tsukiko then hushed them and said, "Now I'm in your closet,." The girls started to burst out laughing. Gaara heard this over the line and figured it was the girls prank calling him.
Tsukiko tried to shush them, but she couldn't because she was also laughing her butt off. After she and the other seven girls calmed down, she tried to see if Gaara was still on the other line.
"Hello...," Tsukiko said in the creepy stalkerish voice yet again.
"Hello Tsukiko," Gaara said with a smirk on his face.
"Dang it," Tsukiko said. "How'd you know it was me?" she questioned.
"Cause I heard you and the girls laughing and giggling in the background," he said.
Tsukiko grimaced and hung up the phone. "Well that was a fail..." she murmured, glancing over her shoulder at the staircase. Gaara was leaning over the railing, his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed. Tsukiko turned around quickly, her face one of shock and horror.
"Is he still there...?" she asked quietly, leaning over towards her left and whispering in Kimi's ear. Kimi glanced behind her, biting her lip.
"Yes," she whispered back, giggling. Tsukiko squeaked as Kimi tried - unsuccessfully, I might add - to hide the fact that she was watching him.
Gaara rolled his eyes and sighed. "You girls are too weird for me..." he mumbled before turning around and heading back upstairs.
Kimi turned around with a small smile on her lips. When she glanced up, she noticed Rio sitting across from her, glaring, openly showing her displeasure in Kimi liking her crush as well.
"Next?" Temari smirked, taking the phone from Tsukiko and slowly waving it in the air in front of her.
To everyone's surprise, Kimi, usually the calm, serious one of the group, reached greedily for the phone. "Me next," she chuckled, a strange glint in her eyes. Rio couldn't help but smile a little at that look. She recognized that look from times in the past when her and Kimi had still actually managed to tolerate each other. But then Kimi met Temari, and the two drifted apart.
"Who - " Temari asked, no longer able to hold in her curiosity as Kimi put the phone on speaker and set it down in the center of the circle the girls had formed halfway through Tsukiko's prank call.
"Hush," Kimi hissed just before the phone was answered.
"Hello...?" Asked a familiar voice. Sakura gasped and opened her mouth, but Kimi's hand flew out and covered it before they could be given away.
"Howdy," Kimi murmured in a husky voice. How the hell can she do that? Everyone thought as they stared at the red and purple-haired teen in astonishment. Kimi gave them all a confused look, waiting for Kakashi to say something.
"Who is this...?" he asked cautiously, his voice low. His breathing seemed... different. Labored.
Kimi looked around at the other girls, a large smile upon her face, before responding in that husky voice of hers again. "Never mind who I am. That's not important. What's important is the information I have that will change your life forever." She smiled again and tried to keep herself from laughing as Kakashi responded.
"...And what might this information be...?" he asked suspiciously, his voice dangerously low and serious. Sakura was surprised at the reaction Kimi had invoked from Kakashi; never before had she heard his voice like that before.
"I have a special edition, limited time offer, not yet released book of Icha Icha Paradise here with me, in the alley behind Subway," Kimi explained. She glanced around at the other girls and smirked. "You know, the fast food restaurant? Yeah, that one. And it's all yours."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line as Kakashi thought about this offer. "And what do I have to do to get this book...?" he asked slyly.
Kimi put her finger to her chin, thinking momentarily about what she should say. "How about... you have to reenact a scene from Icha Icha Paradise with me and it's all yours." The other girls all clamped their hands over their mouths, trying so hard not to laugh. For fear of being discovered, Kimi picked up the phone and took it off of speaker, allowing the girls to get up and go into the kitchen, where they all laughed as loud as they could. Getting farther away from them, she walked over to the staircase, where she knew their obnoxious laughter wouldn't be heard.
Little did she know, she still had an audience. Not one that would openly laugh while she's on the phone in the middle of an epic prank call, but still an audience all the same.
"That's it...?" Kakashi asked slowly.
"That's it," Kimi confirmed, smiling broadly as Kakashi murmured an incoherent reply and hung up the phone. "Dumb ass..." she murmured as she pulled the phone away from her ear.
"Well, well, well..." she heard from the top of the stairs. "I never knew Kimi, the serious, calm, and hard-working one, would be the same girl to pull such a disgusting prank on someone so much older and respected than her. Well done."
Kimi spun around, clutching at her chest. "You scared me, you asshole," she breathed, smiling as Gaara shook his head slowly.
"Congratulations on your first prank call, Judo," Kankuro called down from the top of the stairs, where he joined Gaara a few seconds later. "I never expected you to be able to get your voice that low. I liked it."
Kankuro and Gaara made their way down the stairs, Gaara murmuring on his way past Kimi, "Ignore him; he's an ass." Kimi giggled as she followed the boys down the remaining stairs and out into the kitchen where the girls were waiting impatienly for Kimi to tell them the result of the rest of the call.
"He bought it!" she exclaimed when she stepped foot into the kitchen.
All the girls squealed at her answer.
After Kimi, the prank calls went on for a little while. The boys even decided to stick around and listen to the silly calls the girls made. But everyone soon got bored.
Just as the girls were heading back into the kitchen for a snack, the doorbell rang.
Ok so that's all for now. Cliffy I know but it only makes you want to read more. So review or no cookie for you!
Thanx
