Chapter 2: Attack of the rampaging chibi-lovers! (run for your life!)

Last scene:

The four guys stalked the girls endlessly, hiding outside shoe stores, accessory shops, and other girly places. Hiding behind bushes, trees, and anything else they could use to cover themselves.

"GAHH! I'm getting tired of this! How long does it take to go to one simple little park?!" mumbled Naruto in a hushed tone.

"What was that?" asked Tenten as she whirled around to look where Naruto had been ducking under a bush.

"Nice going, Einstein." Scolded Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru?!" Said Naruto, surprised that he showed up.

"—SHHH!!!" Shushed the whole crowd of guys, trying hard to listen to whatever the girls were saying.

"Well, if it isn't the old genius himself. I thought you said you weren't coming." Smirked Kiba.

"Chouji got over-excited and choked down four at once. The idiot almost choked, but somehow managed to swallow them all down. It's amazing what he can fit down that tube he calls an esophagus." Chuckled Shikamaru silently. "Asuma finally put his foot down and told Chouji it was enough."

"Ohhh," said Naruto, trying to look very interested on the topic, but failed.

"I think it's coming from over there!" pointed out Sakura, gesturing toward the area they were concealing themselves in.

"SHIT!" whispered Naruto, trying not to let the girls hear.

New Chapter:

In their desperate time of need, Shikamaru stood up, with his hands together in a shape that almost looked like a hand sign, thought it wasn't; it was his famous thinking pose.

I see. Obviously, He's taking that position to come up with a solution to our dilemma. How genius! What youth! Thought Lee, as his usual self. (BWAHAHAHA. xD Lee is so fun to imitate :3)

"I've got it," said Shikamaru, finally, "Naruto, remember when you turned into the fire demon?"

"Uh-huh," replied the kyuubi, nodding curiously. What is he up to? He thought to himself.

"Okay, so here's the plan. First, we—" he whispered, signaling it was a good idea to huddle up.

"GENIUS IDEA!! WONDERFUL!!" cried Lee, in a hushed whisper.

"So we all understand, right?" checked Shikamaru, just in case.

"Yup," they all replied quietly in unison.

"...when I give the signal..." he said, waiting for Sakura to get a few inches closer.
"Closer...closer...almost...NOW!"

On cue, Naruto popped out of the bush as a ... CHIBI FOX-BABY!!

"Awwwwwwwwwwww" cooed the girls, mesmerized by how cute he looked. (That's only because they don't know it's really him ':D)

"Heh. They fell for it," smirked Shikamaru.

"OMIGAWSH, THERE HE GOES!!" screamed one of them, pointing at Naruto, running away faster than the speed of light. (Probably from all that ramen he ate for breakfast o.o;)
Then ... The girls start chasing him as if he were Chris Brown...

Naruto's inner mind: "How embarrassing... TT; RUN FOR MY LIFEEE!!!!!!!!"

The guys are still trailing after them, all the way to the park, where Naruto stops for a moment and dives directly into the nearest bush to hide in.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!—hey, where'd he go?" questioned one of the girls.

"Heheheh," muttered Naruto, still safely in his bush.

"Great. The plan's going along perfectly." nodded Shikamaru with satisfaction.

"Awww. We lost em," sighed Tenten, "I really wanted to pet it."

"Well, we're at the park now. Why don't we set up our picnic now?" suggested Hinata.

"Good idea. That was some rumble, though!" exclaimed Sakura.

"Ha, it sure was!" agreed Ino.

After a couple of minutes of setting up, they finish tidying up the spot and whatnot and start doing what girls do best, yes, of course, GOSSIPING:D

"I'm bored," mumbled Tenten, with a sandwich in her hand.

"Let's plaaayyyy.. TRUTH OR DARE!" shouted Sakura with joy.

"Ooooh. Who's first?"

"I nominate... TENTEN." Grinned Ino.

"WHAAT?!" yelled Tenten.

"Hehe. Yup, I said TENTEN. Truth or Dare?" she smirked.

"Truth. Of course."

"Why? Chicken?"

"No, it's just...I haven't done truth in a while, so why not?" she fibbed, not finding any other excuse.

"Hah. Fine. You're the one who chooses, anyway. Let's see... Anyone got a good question for Tenten?"

"I know! Tenten, is it true... that you have a crush on... NEJI?"

She coughed slightly.

"What? I didn't seem to hear you." Teased Sakura.

"I said MAYBE."

"Maybe? Oooh. I guess that means yes?"

"OMIGOSH! IT DOES! SHE DOES!" She shouted loudly, feeling victorious.

Behind the bushes, still listening, Shikamaru nudged Neji and laughed a bit. Neji gave him a

"Next. Let's see..." Tenten started, "I choose... Sakura." Obviously trying to get payback at her. "Truth or dare, my good friend?"

"Truth." She said unhappily.

"Meh. Looks like no-one's got guts today." She laughed.

"Just ask the god damn question." She said, angrily.

"Okay, okay. What do you think about... Shikamaru?"

"YUUCK!" she said in disgust, making a face to match.

Tenten just about cracked up, and Ino just blushed and looked away at something, and acted like it was all of a sudden real interesting.

"Oooh. I see that expression, Ms. Ino! You like him, don't you?!" she said, grinning.

"No, I don't..." she mumbled, almost too hard to hear. (Girls in Konoha obviously mumble when they try to lie Oo)

"Oh, it's okay. We're all friends here. We can keep secrets, right?" said Hinata, smiling, trying to cheer her up a bit.

Ino smiled back and felt much more courageous. Much, MUCH more courageous. She actually stood up and declared aloud, "I like Shikamaru Nara."

"That a girl, Ino!" Sakura cheered.

Again, behind the bushes, Shikamaru's face started to have a bright red glow, redder than a beet.

"Hehe. Looks like you've got yourself a girlfriend, Mr. Na—I mean, Mr. Yamanaka!" chuckled Naruto, almost dying of laughter behind the bushes. If they were any closer to the girls, they would've been easily discovered.

Seeing this had no effect on Shikamaru, he started to wonder: Does Shikamaru actually like Ino, as well?

Obviously, Shikamaru had been thinking, too, because he had his back against the trunk of a tree, and was gazing up at the sky.

Naruto teased, "So, whatcha gonna do, Mr. Einstein?"

"I don't know." He replied truthfully.

"WHAAAT?! DUDE, A GIRL LIKE THAT!! AN OPERTUNITY LIKE THIS!! YOU'LL NEVER SEE ANOTHER ONE IN YOUR LIFE LIKE IT!! ASK HER OUT, MAN!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE SMART ONE!!" Kiba shouted, directly in Shikamaru's ear. After he had cooled off a bit, he said to him again,

"Dude, you're an extreme genius and all, but when it comes to girls... You might as well be Naruto during a mid-year test."

"YYYYUP!" shouted Naruto happily, obviously having no idea what he was saying (Naruto, you dummy. 'xD)

Finally realizing the joke, he shouted, "HEY!! THAT AIN'T FUNNY!! D: "

"Haha, sorry Naruto, but I couldn't resist. Besides, I needed to cheer him up SOMEHOW."

Haha, poor Naruto. Not a clue in the world...
Just typing all of this made me drop to the floor and laugh as if I had taken some kind of laughing poison.
'xD

Hope you liked it! There's loads more coming! HOORAY FOR SPRING BREAK!!!
:D

Sorry to tell you that Naruto didn't get slapped. I might fit that in somewhere in the future chapters. xD
