Here it comes: I do not own Naruto nor will I ever... By the way, any italicized is the thoughts of characters and it does switch groups througout the story (you'll understand when you read). I promise it's not that confusing! Also, here is a list of the pairings: Kiba and Hinata, Temari and Shikamaru, and Neji and TenTen. I would love reviews, but I will not read your review if it is about how much you hate a pairing, because my response will be to GET OVER IT!! Enjoy!
"Yes, Vacation! Finally!" Naruto exclaimed, throwing the last of his bags in the car.
"Yeah, it took way too long to get here. I've been looking forward to this for a month!" Sasuke replied, hoping into the front seat.
Naruto climbed in the seat next to him, and they were off. Everyone was there when they arrived at the meeting place.
"Hey, everyone!" Naruto and Sasuke said, smiling.
"Hey," everyone replied.
"What took you guys?" Kiba asked.
"Ramen boy here took his entire stash. We had to try and fit it all in the car," Sasuke said, glaring at Naruto.
"Holy crap! How much food did you guys bring??" TenTen exclaimed, looking into the car. There were three coolers and five bags of food in the backseat. "What did you think; that we were going to not stop to eat or something?"
"Hey, it's vacation. You should see our car," Neji smirked.
Gaara elbowed Neji. "I told you not to say anything you idiot!"
"Gaara… what's in the car?" Temari asked, starting to walk towards their car.
"Nothing!" Gaara said, jumping in front of the window.
"Gaara, move! Wha- Oh my god!" Temari exclaimed. "Gaara! You're driving, you guys can't be drinking!"
"We weren't going to drink in the car… we were saving it for nighttime," Neji said.
"Nice, guys," Shikamaru replied, grinning.
"But guys….. Lee can't have any alcohol, remember?" Hinata whispered. "You know…. His little…. Outbursts?"
"Right…. Oh well. We can still have fun, right?" Kiba smirked.
"I will conquer it!" Lee exclaimed.
"Yea, whatever," Shikamaru said, rolling his eyes. "Is everyone ready?"
"Yup," everyone answered.
"Ok then, our first stop is camping!" Temari yelled, hoping into the front seat of Shika's car.
"Shikamaru? Can I talk to you for a moment?" Gaara asked, dragging Shika away from the car.
"…..Uh, okay?"
"I don't think I have to say this, you being a supposed genius and all, but here it is, just in case." Gaara gave him his signature death stare. "Touch my sister and you die-"
"Right!" Shika whimpered, feigning a smile.
"-Painfully."
"Okay… well then… Let's go!" Shika ran back to the safety of his car, leaving Gaara smirking back to his.
Temari and Shikamaru led the way, followed by Naruto and Sasuke (so they wouldn't get lost), then TenTen and Hinata, Lee and Kiba, and finally Neji and Gaara. They were heading for an isolated camping spot that was generally reserved for serious outdoorsmen (which, I can assure you, they are not). Let's check out what's happening in the cars. In order, of course….
"So, Temari? What's it like having Gaara as a brother?" Shika asked, trying to keep his eyes on the road.
"I don't think you would last a day in a house with him, Shika-baby," Temari replied, smiling, opening a can of soda. "For one thing, he hates you. I would never want to be on that side of him."
"Well then, it's good that I have you, now isn't it?" Shika smirked. He leaned over and kissed her, veering slightly over the yellow line and almost colliding with an oncoming car.
In Naruto and Sasuke's car….
"-But Sasuke?? Why can't I drive?" Naruto whined, staring at Sasuke, who is about to explode.
"Because, Naruto! You can't be trusted with anything, let alone a vehicle. Now leave me alone before I drive us into oncoming traffic!" Sasuke yelled, gripping the steering wheel so tight it almost broke.
"Fine," Naruto huffed, reaching into one of their many food reserves for a cup of Ramen. Then he turned and gave Sasuke the puppy-dog eyes. "Sasuke….. Can you heat this for me?"
"What?! Naruto, I'm kind of driving here!" Sasuke exclaimed, glancing at him.
"Pleeeaase?! It's no good cold…" Naruto pleaded.
Sasuke gave him a sideways look. "Alright, if you swear you won't say a word for ten minutes."
"Okay!"
So, he used Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu to heat Naruto's Ramen, while using the Sharingan to watch the road. When this was done, Sasuke enjoyed his ten minutes of peace while Naruto scarfed down his Ramen. Let's see what's happening with the girls, shall we?
"So, TenTen… how's it going with Neji? Is he nice?" Hinata asked, looking at a book she was barely concentrating on.
"Most of the time. And it's going well; I think he really likes me," TenTen answered, turning slightly to look at her while she's driving. "Does he?"
"Yes, I think he does. You're all he ever thinks about, I can tell," Hinata replied, putting her book away. "Hey, TenTen…"
"What is it, Hinata?"
"I… I think I like somebody…" Hinata started twirling her fingers.
"Who? Is it Naruto?" TenTen asked, tilting her head trying to think.
"No, it's not. It's…..it's Kiba." Hinata preoccupied herself by looking out the window.
"Kiba, huh?" TenTen smiled. "You had me worried, Hinata. Well, just try to spend some time with him. Besides, I think he likes you a little too."
"Really?! Wait, how did I worry you? Who did you think I liked?" Hinata stared at TenTen, scared of the answer.
"I was afraid you were going to say Gaara or Sasuke, or worse….."
"Who's worse?"
"Lee…"
The girls cracked up for a while on that one. Then they went on to talk about stuff we don't care about, so let's check on Lee and Kiba.
"I can't wait! Camping is going to be so much fun!" Lee exclaimed, opening up another can.
"Yea it is!" Kiba exclaimed, and then glanced at Lee. "Is that another can of Red Bull? Lee, stop drinking those! Soon you're going to get-"
"Whoo-hoo! Look, Kiba!" Lee yelled, sticking his head out of the window. "Now I see why dogs think this is fun… Try it!"
Huh, Akamaru, you don't even do that. So that is what Lee does after five Red Bulls. Wonder how many it would take to get him to jump out the window?
"Hey, Kiibaa! I'm bored…"
"Well, why don't you play you're Gameboy or something?" Kiba yawned, trying to keep his eyes on the road. He was getting bored, too. They had been on the road for two hours, and still had another two to go before they switched drivers.
"Excellent idea! I will conquer King Bowser!" Lee exclaimed, whipping out his game boy and commencing play.
Finally, maybe we'll have some peace, Akamaru. Kiba continued the monotonous task of driving for maybe five minutes before Lee came to a hard part in his game.
"Ahhh! Why the Hell won't you all die!" Lee exclaimed, almost throwing the Gameboy. "I hate goombas! They should all burn in hell! And those damn turtles!"
"Uh, Lee? How about we turn off the Ga-" Kiba started to say, but then….
"I can't take it anymore! Die you evil game, die!" And with those parting words, Lee threw his Gameboy out of the car window, smashing into Gaara's windshield. Kiba yelled at Lee for a while and he yelled back, yada, yada, yada… Let's see what Gaara and Neji are up to…
"What the hell! I just got this fucking car!" Gaara screamed, un-buckling his seat belt (don't worry, he isn't driving).
"Gaara! Wait! I'm sure there is an explanation and there's only a scratch! Well, kind of… Please stay in the car," Neji pleaded, grabbing Gaara's shirt and trying to keep the car straight, as Gaara tried to jump out of the window, already half-Shukaku form.
"Fine," Gaara slumped back into his seat. "But whoever threw that is going to pay!" He reached into one of their many coolers. "Want a beer, Neji?"
"But Temari said…. Eh, why not? Gimme one."
Gaara handed him a can and the two were silent for a while just drinking their beer. Then, Neji got an idea.
"Hey, want to play truth or dare?" Neji asked, the beer starting to get to him a little.
"Suuure, Neji!" Gaara replied, the beer starting to get to him as well. "You first. Truuth or Daare?"
"I… Choose…. Dare!"
"Well, then," Gaara looked around for something for Neji to do. "I've got it! You have to flip off that car!" Gaara said, grinning from ear to ear.
"And if I…. didn't? Wha would haapen?" Neji asked, looking at the man in the car.
Gaara thought for a minute, then pulled out a photo. "I'll show this to TenTen."
"No you wouldn't!" Neji pleaded, then, "Of coarse you will. You're Gaara. Alright, here it goes…"
Neji flipped the man in the next car the finger, prompting hysterical laughter from both him and Gaara. Then, Neji cranked up the car and sped away as fast as he could without crashing into Kiba.
"Ok, ok. It's your turn, Gaaara. Truuuth or Daaare?" Neji asked, in between laughs.
"Daare! Of coouurse!" Gaara replied.
"I daare you, then, tooo, um…… call somebody and tell them you wuuuv them!" Neji said, smirking, and handing him the phone.
"Whaat? Now, whyyy would I do that?" Gaara asked, crossing his arms and pouting.
"Becaauuse, I can tell Temarii where you really were on Sunday night…"
"Nooo! Alright. Just a random number?" Gaara snatched the phone from Neji.
"Yea. Any number you want." Neji watched eagerly as Gaara punched in the most random combo he had ever seen. Amazingly, the phone began ringing. Even more amazing is someone actually picked up!
"Hello?"
"Yea, Hiii!" Gaara said, in the most innocent voice a guy like Gaara could possibly make. "I wuuv you!!"
"What? Who is this?"
"Bye, bye!" Gaara answered and hung up the phone.
The two boys laughed their asses off for what seemed like hours. Finally, the gang came to the checkpoint where everyone pulled over to stretch and to change drivers. There was only a stretch of three hours left until they reached the campground.
"So, how's it been going for everyone?" TenTen asked cheerfully as she sprang out of the car.
"I want to shoot Naruto," Sasuke responded, stretching.
"But he won't let me drive the car! Or play my music!" Naruto complained.
"Shut it, will you? We all came to an agreement on that," Shika replied, heading for the shop at the gas station. "Does anyone need anything while I'm in there?"
"Hold on, Shikamaru. I'm coming," Neji called, running after him.
"Gaara? How have you and Neji been getting along?" Temari asked, worrying that Neji could be in severe danger, especially because it was Gaara's turn to drive.
"Fine, Temari. You don't have to treat me like I'm four," Gaara replied, crossing his arms. "I hope he doesn't forget my coffee."
"Why is Lee running laps around the gas station?" Hinata asked, leaning against their car.
"Oh, he had five Red Bulls on the way up," Kiba responded absentmindedly. He was filling the car with gas. "I just sure hope he burns it all out before we get back in the car."
"That reminds me," Gaara said, walking over toward Kiba. "Who cracked my windshield before? I would like a word with them."
"It was Lee! Don't hurt me, it was him!" Kiba pleaded, retreating a little.
"It was, was it?" Gaara smiled his evil smile and returned to his car. I'll discuss Lee's punishment with Neji, Gaara thought. This is going to be fun.
"We're back! Here's your coffee, Gaara," Neji handed him his massive cup of black coffee.
"I have something fun to do for the rest of the way," Gaara whispered to him. Neji responded with a smirk.
"Ok, everyone ready to go?" Shikamaru asked. Everyone nodded, so they all got back in the car, with everyone switching drivers except Sasuke.
