Chemical Reactions

Chicken


"Wow! It's huge!" Ino gasped, her face pressed up against the window of the passengers seat. "I think we can all figure that out Ino-pig." Sakura rolled her eyes at Ino, her arms crossed. "Shut up forehead girl!" Ino glared.

"How about you both shut the hell up." Tenten rolled her own eyes heavenwards.

"Alright kitties! Enjoy your stay here!" Their driver grinned, glancing at all of them through his rear-view mirror. They all ignored him, excluding sweet Hinata who murmured a soft thank you. The mansion they were living in was made of a light brown, going on red, brick with a red door that had a golden knocker and peep hole. Sasuke slipped his key into the key hole, opening the door. As soon as they all walked in, everyone, excluding Sasuke, Neji, and Hinata, gasped in awe. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling and the dark wood was nicely varnished. The walls were a homey red with a bridal staircase on both sides of the room. Underneath the staircase was an opening to the living room that had cream carpeting, also having red walls. To the left of the room was the opening to the kitchen and the right had a bathroom.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm grabbing my room!" Naruto cried, hurrying up the carpeted stairs to get his room, Kiba, Sakura, and Ino following, while the rest didn't really care which room they got. It was soon settled that the boys rooms were to the left and the girls rooms to the right. At the end of the bed room hall, there were two doors that led to separate bathrooms.


Naruto's room had bright orange walls with a white carpet. An oak wood bed was pushed up against the wall, the blankets and pillows made up of shades of whites and oranges with ramen cups. Neji had plain lavender walls with a white carpet with matching sheets for the bed. Kiba had red walls with wooden flooring and red and smoky gray sheets while Shikamaru had olive green walls with a dull white carpet; his bed draped with gray and olive green sheets. Tenten's room had emerald green walls with wood flooring and a bed that had green and gold sheets. Sakura had pink walls with a white carpet and matching sheets, whereas Ino had purple walls. Hinata picked out the room with baby blue walls, a circular bed, and light gray, white, and blue bedding.

"We're excused for the first week of school, but they'll be sending us our assignments." Sakura informed them after looking through her folder.

"You're not the only one that read the folder." Tenten pointed out. "Just in case." Sakura shrugged. "What's this?" Naruto squinted at the sheet of paper that was laminated and was set on top of the fireplace, where a flat screen TV hung above it. A coffee table was set in front of the fire place with a cozy red couch behind the coffee table and love seats on either side of the coffee table. Ino plucked the paper up from its place and read it, "It's a list of activities we're forced to do..."

"For the whole year blondie?" Tenten raised an eyebrow at the blond that she disliked so much. A vein popped up from her forehead, "No. Only for the first week, Tsunade-sama mails us the rest of the activities we're forced to do, it said so in our folders."

"Thought you read the folder, or were you just trying to cover up the fact that you can't read." Sakura commented, sitting with her arms crossed on the love seat across from Tenten. Tenten glared at her, "I assure you I can read. I may not have a forehead to match yours but I'm not stupid." Naruto backed away from the two, knowing better than to get in between two angry women. "You're just jealous." She huffed. "Of your skinny frame or the fact that you're flat chested?" Tenten hissed. Sakura gasped, no one, and I mean, no one talked about the chest. Sakura may have been a little smaller than a full A, compared to Tenten's busty B or C cup, but she usually tried her best to ignore it.

"What. Did. You. Say." She growled out. Ino looked back and forth between the two, Hinata tried to calm the two, Kiba was making bets with Naruto, Shikamaru trying to ignore the noise, and Neji sat there impassively. "I'm telling you Tenten's going to win." Kiba argued.

"Hello? Have you ever felt one of Sakura-chan's punches? It's like being hit with a bag of flour that was thrown by Hercules!"

"Well then, you obviously haven't been beaten up by Tenten. She's like a bulldozer!"

"P-please c-calm down... I-i'm sure w-we can s-settle this peacefully." Hinata stammered between the two glaring women.

"This is so troublesome..." Shikamaru groaned.

"Well you must be deaf. I said am I jealous of your skinny frame or the fact that you're flat chested?" Tenten repeated, the two leaned closer, already have gotten up from their seats. "At least I'm not a MAN!"

"I have more boobs than you do!"

"ARE YOU SURE IT ISN'T TISSUE?"

"MAYBE YOU USE TISSUE YOU WALL!"

"I'VE GOT MORE FAN BOYS!"

"MAYBE BECAUSE I'M NOT A SLUT!"

"WHORE!"

"BITCH!"

"HOOKER!"

"TAKE THAT BACK!"

"MAKE ME FLAT-CHESTED WHORE!"

"FAKE BOOBED TRANSVESTITE!" At the same time, both Sakura and Tenten leapt at each other on top of the coffee table. The two threw out punches, ignoring the arguing of Naruto and Kiba.

"DOGGY BOY I'm telling YOU SAKURA-CHAN's going to WIN!"

"TENTEN IS PRACTICALLY HALF MAN!"

Ino looked at the two arguing, "HEY! DO SOMETHING YOU IDIOTS!"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO!?"

"SOMETHING!"

"I THOUGHT GIRLS WERE SMARTER THAN BOYS!" Kiba smacked Naruto, "DON'T EVER ADMIT THAT IN FRONT OF A WOMAN!"

"HEY! DON'T SMACK ME!"

"CAN'T TAKE IT?"

"BRING IT ON DOG BOY!"

"I'LL BEAT YOUR FAT ASS TO THE GROUND!"

"HEY! I'M NOT DONE YELLING AT YOU TWO!"

"GO AND YELL AT YOUR FRIGGIN BOY FRIEND YOU PIG!" Naruto shouted, but stopped suddenly at the look on Ino's face. "U-um... E-er.. I didn't mean it!"

"NARUTO!"

SMACK

"C-can we a-all just g-get a-along?" Hinata murmured, watching the scene. "Che, how immature." Shikamaru commented.

"I don't see you doing anything about it." Neji said, arms crossed and eyes closed. "Neither are you. And you're the so-called prodigy." Neji opened one eye to look down at Shikamaru, "Are you questioning my title?"

He shrugged, "Sometimes yeah." Neji glared at him, both eyes now open, "I sometimes question your title of lazy genius also. The genius part of course."

"It goes with me. I'm a genius and I'm lazy. So naturally, I don't do anything to intervene in all this." Hinata watched the two fearfully. Unknown to all of them, the front door had opened and Tsunade had walked in on them to see if they had completed their first task. "WHAT THE HELL IS ALL OF THIS!?" Immediately everything stopped. Neji and Shikamaru stopped their quiet insult match, Naruto, Kiba, and Ino were caught up in pulling/biting/scratching at each other, Sakura paused at the moment of ripping Tenten's bun hairstyle and Tenten paused in mid-punch. Hinata merely stood in the middle of all this chaos innocently.


Tsunade glared at the teens, "You are all suppose to be living together for the rest of this year! Not KILL each other!" Tenten then looked at the principal, "Doesn't mean we can't hate each other." Tsunade directed her glare at her and Tenten shut up. "Did any of you bother looking at my activities list?" No one answered.

Tsunade sighed, "Alright, here's the first activity." She led the group out to the backyard. There was a large and fancy-shaped pool in the middle with a grill up against a fence with a large table nearby. "You are to all play CHICKEN!" She received blank looks. "Um... What?" Ino asked through the silence. "Chicken! You know you get on someone's shoulders and you try to push each other off?" Groans were heard. "Now! The pairings will be boy-girl! So! Neji you're up with Tenten, Sakura - Naruto, Ino you have Shikamaru, and Kiba you get sweet little Hinata. And don't try to get out of it! We have cameras all over the place just in case hormones get out of control or you disobey us." Everyone snorted at the hormone control comment. "Now put on your cute little swim suits and play chicken!" She then leaved through the gate by the fence.

"Soooo... I CALL SAKURA-CHAN!" Bop.

"Idiot, she paired us up. Were you listening?" Sakura glared. Naruto rubbed his bruise, "Only up to the part where we have to have boy-girl partners." Sakura sighed, "Idiot."


"Alright... So who wants to go in first?" Kiba looked into the pool that was a clear crystal, a diving board on one end and a net in the middle that they had set up. He wore smoky gray swimming trunks with a red printed paw on the front corner. No one said anything. "Um... I will?" Naruto climbed in, yelping at the feel of the cool water against his skin. He had on orange swimming trunks with a ramen cup on the corner. "Okay, that's means forehead goes in next."

"Why me?" Sakura glared at Ino. Tenten looked at the rosette, "Because your partner went in so you have to go in next." Ino had on a light blue string bikini while Sakura had a pink one. Tenten wore instead a dark green tankini that had a halter top and boy shorts. She sighed once again, boy she was doing that a lot wasn't she? Climbing in she reluctantly got on Naruto's shoulders who was grinning. "I-I guess I'll go in next..." Hinata mumbled and slid into the pool in her lilac one piece. Kiba then jumped in, splashing every one. "Will you watch it!" Ino growled, "What's the point in wearing a bikini if you aren't going to get wet?" Tenten remarked, "To catch all the boys maybe?" Ino growled. Shikamaru sighed at the two, "Not now." He wore a pair of olive green swimming trunks with a white cloud in the bottom corner and Neji wore a pair of black ones with a white stripe on the sides.

After everyone got in and were set to play, they each looked at each other. "So then... War?" Once the words were spoken the girls lashed out at each other, well excluding Hinata who was merely off to the side. "Come on Hinata! The other guys'll win if we don't get in there!" He encouraged, not telling her about the bet they had all made earlier.

Flashback

"I say we make a bet!" Naruto grinned, "Oh please." Kiba rolled his eyes, "What? Afraid you'll lose?" Naruto taunted, "No, afraid that I'll leave you crying on the floor after you lose." Kiba smirked. "Fine, winner has the loser as slaves!" "Will you all grow up." Neji demanded rather than inquired with a roll of his eyes. They waved him off, "He's just scared of competition."

"Excuse me?" Neji raised an eyebrow, arms crossed. "You heard me! You're afraid to lose! You're afraid that the girls will think you're a little wuss once you lose the bet!" Naruto challenged, looking up at Neji, inwardly praying the Hyuga would fall for the bait and not beat him up. "Che, this is pathetic. Fine." Neji accepted. Shikamaru looked at him, bewildered. Neji actually fell for it? Shikamaru shook his head. "Alright. Deal." Then they all turned to Shikamaru who looked away, "Don't start anything troublesome."

"Come on Shika-chan! It's only a small bet!!" Kiba began slyly, sitting next to Shikamaru on the couch. "Get away, are you homo?"

"Are you homophobic?" Naruto joined Kiba on the couch, only he was on the other side of Shikamaru. Neji just walked away and changed. "Yes, I am. Very. I tend to barf in someones face at the mention of it." Shikamaru lied, staring up at the ceiling. "Come on! If you win, you'll have THREE servants!" Shikamaru contemplated this. After all, Kiba and Naruto were both very annoying and the girls, excluding Ino, left him alone. "Che, fine." Kiba and Naruto high-fived each other.

End Flashback

"You're going down pig!" Sakura vowed, kicking Naruto painfully in the back so that he would move forward. "Bring it on forehead!" Ino scowled, pulling on Shikamaru's hair. Tenten looked down at Neji's beautiful soft and silky hair, he looked straight in to her eyes, "Don't. Even. Think about it." Tenten grinned, grabbing two handfuls of hair she tugged at them and he growled before walking forward. "Alright bring it on you hookers."


I have nothing against homos just so you know. And don't mind the insults between Tenten-Ino-Sakura, because I love all three of them . XD Anyways, please review and tell me if I still have your interests. Also, constructive criticism is very much welcome. :) I hope you all enjoy this.
