"This is where we're gonna sleep!" Naruto said brightly. The Genin group were standing before a huge, dusty temple/mansion. It had broken shutters, cracked windows, and it looked contaminated. The doors were open.
"Why did Tsunade give us this mission?" Kiba grumbled.
"Because she hates us," Shino reminded him.
"Oh."
"Right. So we just have to stay in here for a few days?" Sakura asked.
"That's what the scroll says," Tenten said, reading a huge scroll that came out randomly.
"Let's get in now. It's freezing," Neji grunted, walking oh-so-suave to the large house.
"DUCK!" Lee suddenly screamed out. All of the ninjas jumped to their feet, crouching low and sweaty with fear.
"What is it?!" Ino cried.
"HAHAHA, I GOT YOU GUYS!" Lee screeched in a very feminine voice. Naruto sweatdropped.
"Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered.
Neji slowly got up from the ground, dusting himself off before calmly punching Lee. "Let's get inside."
The interior of the house was as bad as its outside. It was dusty, moldy, and full of old objects like those giant-ass grandfather clocks and huge stairs. There were webs everywhere. Just think of those old gothic houses in movies, just kind of Japanized.
"It's beautiful," Sasuke said randomly. Everyone stared at him strangely. "What?" he growled.
"You only like it cuz its all emo," Naruto said. "Just like you."
"No. I'm Canadian," he insisted. Nobody talked to him for ten minutes after he said that.
"Whoo! I found an empty room!" Naruto whooped as they came across an empty, black room. "And there's a bed! I call this one with Sakura—AHHH!"
The blonde suddenly disappeared as he stepped into the room, as if the floor swallowed him up. Everyone sweatdropped, except Neji.
"N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata squeaked nervously.
"Holy crap, he's really gone," Sasuke muttered.
"Oh no!!" Sakura cried.
"Eeeek!" Ino screamed.
"Aw mann!" Chouji yelled.
"Troublesome people," Shikamaru growled.
"Bwah," Shino added.
"Hey guys, if you hadn't noticed, I'm right here," an obnoxious voice screamed from the room. They all went in and noticed a large hole on the floor. It showed a gray room that was barely lit. Naruto waved his arms down there, looking pissed.
"Oh my gosh! He LIVESS!" Lee roared, making everyone wince.
"SHUT UP! Can someone get me out now?!" Naruto said impatiently.
"Don't worry, dobe! I'll get you out! WEEEE!" Sasuke leaped down the hole, screaming his cry. Naruto watched him, wide-eyed in fascination as his rival landed gracefully in front of him.
"See! I'm here to save you!" Sasuke said triumphantly.
Naruto was boiling mad. "You IDIOT! You were supposed to get me out from up there! Now we're both stuck down here!"
Sasuke looked up at the hole above him, then at himself. He sweatdropped. "Oh."
"NARUTO! SASUKE!" Sakura's scream deafened their ears. "ARE YOU TWO OKAY?!"
"WE'D BE A LOT MORE OKAY IF YOU STOPPED SCREAMING!" Naruto screamed back.
The Genins' faces peered down at them from the hole. "Don't worry, we'll try to get out!" Shikamaru said.
"Finally!" Naruto muttered, ignoring Sasuke as the emo boy sat down on the floor, writing in his diary he always kept.
Above the hole, the Genins were trying to figure out how to save their friends. Chouji was walking around, when he suddenly noticed a switch on a clock. He touched it curiously.
A huge gaping hole revealed itself from where the Genins stood. Screaming, they all fell into darkness. Chouji, on the other hand, squealed as he too disappeared into the abyss with his friends.
Naruto heard their screams, and he nervously looked about. "Um, guys?" he squeaked. "Are you there?"
"Probably up there, ignoring us—" Sasuke didn't finish his question, as he suddenly fell unconscious. Naruto stared at him, bewildered.
"Sasuke-teme—" Naruto suddenly felt a huge pain on his head, and he let himself drift into darkness.
first chapter's done, whew! .
