She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what shes holding back
Did You Miss Me?
"Why did we have to run around the camp 3 times again?" Ino panted. She stumbled over a large rock in the path but managed to catch herself.
"Good question Ino. Hey Hinata, do you know why?" A petite pink haired girl asked running in stride with Ino.
"I-I th-think i-it w-was b-be-because you threw a w-water-watermelon at Naruto." Hinata stuttered from behind them.
"Why aren't those idiot guys running with us too then? They threw a squash right back at us!" TenTen yelled from a couple yards ahead.
The four girls were currently serving a punishment at SkyLake.
They had thought this camp would be all fun and games like the brochure, but that was until they met the camps scary director, Tsunade.
The whole reason they were in this mess is because Hinata's cousin Neji insisted on coming for her 'protection' and brought his idiot friends with him.
This wouldn't have been a bad thing except for the fact that nobody could get along. Today during lunch Naruto Uzumaki, an annoying boy dressed in bright orange, had tried flirting with Sakura again.
Sakura was getting fed up with his lame pick up-lines so naturally she threw the nearest heavy object at him. This happened to be a watermelon. The watermelon smashed allover Naruto's face. It took him a minute before he realized something had been thrown at him.
But when he did he threw a rotten squash that had been sitting in the trashcan, waiting for disposal, right at Sakura. The gooey squash broke open right in her face and all over the others.
Ino and TenTen immediately armed themselves with food, but right as they were about to throw them, Tsunade walked in. She surveyed the scene, her face slowly turning red. Finally she blew her top.
"Who is responsible for this mess?" She bellowed angrily. Innocent bystanders began to slink away, hoping to escape her rage. The girls looked at the floor and gaped at the mess.
There was watermelon and squash guts all around them. Tsunade turned to the four of them. "You four! Start running! And you boys start cleaning!" Sakura hightailed it out of there, not wanting to spend an extra moment in Tsunade's presence.
So here they were sweating up a storm running around the 3 mile long perimeter of the camp, which was basically all woods.
"Hinata you were the last out, did you here if Tsunade made the boys clean and tell them to run?" Sakura panted.
Hinata shook her head. She felt a little bad about lying to her friend but it was for her own good right? It would be trouble if Sakura knew that the guys were also running in these woods. Hinata paled when a voice called out, "Looking for us?"
The girls turned to see a secluded overhang where the current bane of their existence, Neji, Naruto, Saskue, and Shikimaru sat resting on a large log. Saskue and Shikimaru looked totally disinterested, while Naruto grinned like an idiot and Neji stood stoically beside him.
"Why would we be looking for you idiots? For all I care you can run off and eaten by a bear!" TenTen growled in between pants. She may be the most athletic of the group but that didn't mean this kind of running was easy for her, nope not at all.
Sakura sighed from her place on a large rock off to the side of the clearing. "It's times like these that I wish Rin was here," She sighed.
Ino nodded. "She would kick these guys asses all the way to Africa! I could really use some of her attitude right now. She was like a walking pep talk that those nasty coaches give."
"Don't let her hear you saying that. She would be pissed to know you were talking about her." TenTen chimed in.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "But she's back in who- the- hell -knows where doing who-the-hell-knows-what. Anyways I love the girl. She's not going to be mad at me."
A twig cracked behind them. Ino paled and motioned for Sakura to turn around. There in the middle of the forest, was a girl. But not just any girl, it was Rin.
"Oh. My. God. Rin!" Sakura screamed throwing herself at the unprepared girl. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Rin sighed and grinned sheepishly. "Well you see that's kind of a funny story.."
"Wait, stop. Everybody freeze." Naruto said. He pointed at Rin. "Who the hell are you?"
"The girl who's gonna kick your ass unless you show a little respect!" She hissed, still smiling. Somehow that made her expression even fiercer. Naruto backed up with his hands up. "Sorry Miss uh.."
"Rin!"She snapped. "Remember it!"
She turned back to Sakura. " Well you see um I kinda got kicked out of military camp."
Sakura gasped. "How on earth did you manage that?"
"Well you see, there was this super annoying guy that made me want to scream every time he talked to me. So we got in a couple fights. But things got kind of out of hand with the fireworks…." She trailed off.
Ino, Sakura, TenTen, and Hinata stared at her slack jawed. Ino shook her head. "I don't even want to know."
"Weren't you driven here by the bus?" TenTen asked curiously. There wasn't a bus in sight.
Rin giggled nervously. Why did they have to ask so many questions? "Um well you see the bus kind of hit a tree…."
"How?" TenTen asked incredulously.
"See I coerced the bus driver into letting me drive and well you know how it goes…"
"You cr-crashed a b-bus?" Hinata squeaked.
Rin smiled. She had missed Hinata the most while she had been away. After breaking through Hinata's shell, she found that Hinata was really a super nice person that didn't stutter as much if she knew enough about you.
Thankfully Rin fell into the category of super close friend forever so Hinata wouldn't stutter as much around her hopefully. Stuttering was annoying. But Hinata was not.
She grinned at Hinata. "Yes I did and my only regret is having to walk here. I didn't exactly pack light."
Hinata turned to look at the pile of black duffle bags on the ground, and the guitar case on her back."No, y-you really didn't."
"So who are these people that I'm supposed to kick to Africa?" Rin asked grinning. Hopefully it would be the blond boy. He was too annoying for his own good.
"That would be us." A boy who she identified as Hinata's cousin Neji stood behind three other boys, including the annoying blond. She took a close look at the guys.
From her quick exam she could see they were all, sadly including blondie, very well muscled. But then again she had just come from military camp. That place may be hell, but it certainly whipped you into shape.
"What exactly did you do to earn my wrath?" She asked smirking. This had better be good.
"You see Sakura threw a watermelon at my face for no reason, so I merely defended myself with a squash." Blondie said. Figures it was him.
"Shut up Naruto," An emo looking guy said. So blondie had a name. Naruto. A stupid name for a stupid boy. He had that puppy dog look about him. Probably the comic relief of the group.
"Make me Saskue!" Naruto yelled at the boy apparently named Saskue.
Saskue rolled his eyes and went back to staring into space. She turned to look at Sakura who sure enough was splattered with gunk all over her torso and a little on her face. Poor girl.
"Sorry Sakura but if I'm going to be doing any ass kicking it will have to be when we get back to camp and I can change." What she was wearing was defiantly not suitable for ass kicking or fighting really.
She wore a black tank top with a leather jacket over. Her pants were bleached skinny jeans and the shoes were well, they might be right for fighting but it was hard to move in the jeans. It was a pain in the ass just to walk here.
"So where exactly is the camp?" She asked quietly.
Sakura blushed. "Well it's about half a mile away now."
Rin looked at all the other face's confirming Sakura's statement. "Damn. Well okay girls lets head to camp."
"We can't Rin." Hinata said quietly. "We have to run around camp as punishment for the Naruto incident." Hinata's cheeks turned pink when she said Naruto's name. She would have to talk about that with Hinata later, Rin noted.
"Just let me talk to this camp director of yours. When have my powers of persuasion ever failed?"
They girls nodded in agreement and they began to walk in the direction of the camp, leaving the boys in the dust.
Rin walked out of the camp office looking slightly shaken and feeling a little weak kneed. But at least she did it. That Tsunade woman, whom she had officially named the Dragon Lady, had taken the story grudgingly
. Rin had noticed an open bottle of sake on the desk and felt a wave of cold fear wash over her. This isn't home. This is camp. You are not home. She mentally coached herself through the brief meeting as she received her cabin assignment and her activity's schedule.
The wind blew through the tree's sending a slight shiver down her spine. She took off up the large hill, passing a volley ball court, a tennis court, a pool, and what looked like a dance studio. This camp was pretty well funded.
Finally she arrived at her cabin, cabin 7. The girls were probably in the showers. Yep these cabins had showers, whole bathrooms in fact. That was an improvement from the last place she had been.
Taking a deep breath she opened the door only to be faced with four guys lounging around. This wasn't the right cabin was it? A guy that looked like he had a pineapple attached to his head called out lazily, "Try the other door." Rin shut the door quickly.
What other door. She peered down the porch of the cabin. Sure enough there was another door. She quickly walked over to it, lugging her bag, and pushed open the door and was met with a friendly sight.
Hinata was sitting on a bottom bunk of a bunk bed while TenTen sat on top, talking to Ino, who was on the other top bunk. Rin walked inside and shut the door.
"Look, she survived!" TenTen shouted. Ino and Hinata looked up at her, to see if it was true.
"That's a relief." Ino sighed "You were gone so long we thought you were a goner for sure. You can have that top bunk next to TenTen. Rin nodded and walked over to the bunk and sat her stuff down on the empty bottom bunk.
Ino crept up behind her. "So did you write any new songs? Have you met any hot guys? What was the guy that got you kicked out like? Was he hot? W-"
"Ino!" Rin yelled "Put a sock in it or I won't answer anything!" Ino shut up instantly. Rin climbed up the ladder and sat down on the neatly made bed.
"To answer your questions- oh hey Sakura." Sakura had just exited the bathroom, wrapped in a robe, in a flood of steam. She probably used up all the hot water. She looked at Rin in surprise.
"Oh hey." She said walking over to her pink trunk and pulling out various articles of clothing. Rin turned back to Ino who had climbed up onto her bed.
"As I was saying, yes I did write new songs, yes I saw hot guys and the guy that got me kicked out was an asshole I don't want to talk about."
Ino seemed to ignore the lack of information and instead asked for the songbook. Rin dug in her bag for a moment before pulling out a small but thick black journal with an angel on the cover. She threw it to Ino who caught it easily.
Ino began thumbing through the pages, pausing on a few. "Hey does this have a Cd with the beats?" She asked.
Rin paused and nodded, "I had a friend record them for me a while ago." Ino nodded and jumped, barley missing the edge, over to Rin's bed.
"I want you to sing this one. Like now." Ino said pointing to a song. Rin looked at it and nodded. The song was a simple one called I hate boys. She grabbed the Cd from a small pocket in the back of the book. "Do you have a Cd player?" Ino nodded and climbed down the ladder to rummage through a bag before pulling out a purple Cd player.
"Perfect," Rin said. She looked at Ino's song choice again. Three guesses as to who this song was for? She took a deep breath and pressed play.
No-No-No-No, I'm not bitter, I'm not mad.
Well, maybe just a little, just a tad.
I know every apple here ain't bad,
But I found a worm in every single one I had.
(Boys) They're only good for fruit, I mean bananas.
(Boys) Them boys so nuts, they're drivin' me bananas
Oh boys, we should pack them up and ship em out.
Bo-bo-bo-boys Bo-boys

If you hate em boys, shake it.
We would all be happy all be glad,
If sweet mama nature never had,

Are only made for toys
Boys wants them women, though they barely can remember.
Then again all men are dogs.
All men are dogs.
I hate boys, but boys love me.
I think they suck and my friends agree.
I hate boys, but boys love me.
Eh yeah, eh yeah, eh yeah,

I hate boys, but boys love me.
I think they suck and my friends agree.
I hate boys, but boys love me.
Eh yeah, eh yeah, eh yeah,
I. Hate. Boys.
Sakura had started to laugh. "What made you write this song?" She giggled."It was really good but kind of a weird topic."
Rin blushed "Well I was really pissed off one day and I was going through an old book of mine and this song fell out. I had written it in 3rd grade when my crush, Bradley Cooper told me I was ugly."
Ino, Sakura, TenTen and Ino burst out laughing. Ino wiped a tear away from her eye. "I can't believe you talked like that in third grade!"
Rin shrugged sheepishly. "We all have our faults."
"I get to pick now!" Sakura screeched. She grabbed the little book and leafed through it quickly. "I want this one."
Meanwhile with the guys…..
"What is going on over there?" Shikimaru said irritably. Music was blasting from the girls cabin and It had woken him up. Naruto began singing something along the lines of "I hate boys…"Under his breath.
"Naruto what are you singing?" Saskue asked from his bunk.
"That song the girls have playing. It's really catchy." He said brightly.
Just as Saskue was about to yell at him a voice screeched "Shut up you little worm! You are the most annoying worm I have ever had the displeasure of meeting!"
A male voice replied "I'm glad you think so highly of me." Seconds later the door burst open to reveal an angry blond woman and a tall boy with upside down triangles on his cheeks. The blond woman was dragging him by an arm.
She threw him into the room. "There, he's your problem now!" Tsunade slammed the door behind her. "Kiba?" Naruto asked shocked. A bark from near the boy's feet answered the question. "What's up guys?"
"Why are you here? Not that we don't want you here or anything. It will be nice now that I have a person to eat Ramen with." Naruto said.
"Nice save. Some bitch got me kicked out of military camp. Such a shame too. I was just starting to like that hell hole. Reminded me of home." He shrugged.
Kiba's mother was a world champion boxer and believed that Kiba should be raised to be tough. So fights and broken furniture were common in the Inuzuka household. But he was used to it.
Naruto walked over to him and started pelting him with questions. "What?" Kiba yelled. "I can't here over the music." The cabin next door had turned up the music until it was blasting through the walls into their cabin.
Akamaru barked angrily at the door connecting the cabins. "Your right Akamaru. Is that door unlocked?" he asked.
"Yes. Do what you will." Shikimaru said from his perch on a bunk bed. Kiba grinned.
"Time to give these guys a piece of my mind." He said walking to the door and throwing it open. He was shocked at what he saw. Four other girls were scattered around the room but it was the one singing that caught his attention.
Oh crap. It was HER.
He regained his senses just in time to dodge the object thrown at him with deadly precision. It looked as if she hadn't even moved but two seconds later punches were thrown at his face.
He barely caught them. She had gotten better in the time since he had seen her. He grinned and kept dodging. "Nice to know you missed me."
"God I swear you stalk me sometimes!" Rin hissed. How the hell had he followed her here. It wasn't safe. A tugging and growling from near her ankle stopped her assault. She stepped back and sighed.
"Fine Akamaru. I won't hurt him. But he better not screw this up too."
Kiba sighed in relief and leaned against the doorframe. "Thanks Akamaru. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep dodging her punches." He looked at Rin. "You have gotten better."
"What is it you want?" She snapped, ignoring his complement. He backed off a little.
"Fine. Okay be that way. I just wanted you to turn the music down."
"No." She slamed the door in his face and looked back into the four amazed faces staring back.
"What was that!" Sakura screamed, shocked.
"That guy,Kiba,was the one that got me kicked out of military camp." Rin shrugged.
"But why did you attack him?" TenTen shouted.
"Habit I guess. we used to fight all the time." She said walking over to her suitcase and pulling out some short and a tank top. "Im going to bed."
Hinata looked at the clock "We should allgo to 's late,and we missed dinner so we might as well turn in now."
The other girls nodded in agreement. One by one they climbed into their bunks and turned out the tiny light by their beds.
Slowly they all drifted off to a peaceful sleep. All but one.
"No daddy please...Stop!" Rin whimpered in her sleep. She withered in her bed. "No stop... STOP!" The door connectiong the cabins opened quietly. The ladder creaked and a figure stared at the withering girl.
"Shhh, shhh rin it'sokay, wake up. Im here. He's not going to get you. I promise." He said stroking her face. Her face crinkled up once then she was calm. A smile even came to her face. "I won't let anything hurt you. I promise."
AN: SO tell me how I did! Please R&R
