Camping
Neji was asleep. His dark brown hair fluttered on his face every time he exhaled. He snored lightly and drooled on his pillow as he slept. Mr. Cuddle Wuddles, his teddy bear, was snug in the crook of his arm. Boy, was Neji in for a rude awakening.
"HYUGA NEJI!"
Neji awoke with a start. He quickly stole a glance at his alarm clock. Crap! Now I'mlate for training! Why did I forget to set my alarm clock? It didn't stop there, though.
"NEJI, IF YOU'RE NOT UP IN FIVE MINUTES, THEN I SHALL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE THAT YOUR STUPID TEDDY BEAR IS BURNED!" Hiashi yelled up the stairs.
"Nooooooo! NOT MR. CUDDLE WUDDLES!Anything but that!" Neji wailed.
"Then get up before I change my mind!" Neji's uncle yelled exasperatedly up the stairs.
Neji sighed and dragged himself out of his comfortable bed. How he hated it when his uncle went ballistic like that. Neji slowly walked over to his dresser. He picked up his hairbrush, looked in the mirror, and twitched. He had a serious case of bed head. Twitch. It was so poofy, it almost looked like he had an afro. Twitch. Twitch. Do not tell him, but he also has an egg-sized knot on the back of his head. Twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch.
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Birds a mile away shot up into the sky, scared out of their wits.
…….oooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooo…….
-One hour later-
Neji walked towards Team Gai's training place, letting out an occasional "Hn." He was now late. VERY late.
…….oooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooo…….
Tenten sighed and plopped onto the ground. She pulled out a rag, a kunai, and a tub of polish. Tenten absentmindedly began to polish her weapons. What is Neji going to think about this camping idea? I don't know if Neji has ever been camping… Will he be excited? Will he be upset? Will he even refuse to go? I love camping, but what about- "TENTEN, OR YOUTHFUL FLOWER, WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO UN-YOUTHFUL?!" Lee yelled youthfully. "YES, TENTEN WHY?" Gai questioned loudly. "IT'S A PERFECTLY YOUTHFUL DAY WITH YOUTHFUL THINGS TO DO….."
While Gai and Lee ranted on about youthfulness, Tenten was thinking. Neji is really late. I wonder what he's doing. That very moment, a terrible shriek pierced the air. "GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Tenten froze, her finger slipping on the edge of the kunai, giving her a small laceration. Even Gai and Lee looked up from their youthful hugging. What the heck was THAT? Tenten observed the area around her, searching for the source of the noise.
Their training area was a small clearing in a grove of trees, with a stream running along the east side of it. The trunks of the trees were covered with scars and the occasional weapon driven in so far, they couldn't get it out without hurting the tree. There was a large oak tree, which she called Koboku, which she often climbed to watch the sunset over the village. Yet, she couldn't find the source of the noise. And she wouldn't for another hour or so.
…….oooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooo…….
Neji finally made it to the training ground. Tenten was polishing her weapons, deep in thought, while Gai and Lee did 10,000 push-ups on their pinkie fingers. He announced his presence with his all-saying catchphrase- "Hn" "NEJI!" Lee and Gai yelled simultaneously. "YOU HAVE FINALLY GRACED US WITH YOUR YOUTHFUL PRESENCE!! YAAAY!!"
Tenten looked up at her only sane teammate. "Neji! You're finally here! What took you so long?" Neji muttered something, to quiet to hear. "What?" Tenten asked. "I didn't quite catch that."
"Bad hair day." He said quietly, turning a bright red. "Is that all? Tenten asked playfully. "Hn." Tenten sighed. "I'll take that as a yes, then."
"Neji! Neji, guess what?" Lee said excitedly. "Hn." Not bothered by this, Lee cried out, "WE'RE GOING CAMPING!!"
Silence. A cue-the-crickets kind of silence. Finally, Neji broke the silence. "What's camping?"
Everyone stared. More silence. All of a sudden, Lee and Gai chorused, "You don't know what camping is? BAKA!!" Trying to help her poor teammate, Tenten informed him, "Camping is when you take all the stuff you need, a tent, and live somewhere else for about a week."
"Ooooookaaaaaaaaaaay, then." Neji said, his brow furrowed. "Question. If we're each bringing our houses, why do we need tents?" "WHAT?!" Tenten exclaimed. "We're not bringing our houses, Mr. I-am-so-smart-genius-boy! We only take what we NEED, like food, clothes, water, and matches. We can also bring a few things we want, but your house, property, and family don't count.
"OKAY, LISTEN UP MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS!" Gai happily shouted. "WE ARE GOING ON A YOUTHFUL CAMPING TRIP, IN THE YOUTHFUL OUTDOORS!! NOW, GO AND PACK, AND LAST ONE HERE HAS TO RUN 100 YOUTHFUL LAPS AROUND KONOHA; IN BACKFLIPS!!" Neji and Tenten twitched. Lee jumped for youthful joy. "ALSO, I WILL BE SUPPLING TENTS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BRING ONE! NOW RUN, MY STUDENTS, RUN!!"
Where there was Neji and Tenten, there was now two student-shaped clouds. But Lee, of course, and already packed and came back before they even got to their houses.
Neji smirked. Maybe this would actually be interesting.
