Vacation From Hell?

Day Two!

I woke up, sore and in a fowl mood. I was not a morning person, and the fact the girls had all lost in the fight last night did not help, and now we are going to have to put up with their smugness all day and try to get on with them... AT THE SAME TIME!

I moved and felt a sharp pain around my waist line, that was probably from being hung from a tree, then a sore patch on my bum reminding me of the stupid choice that me and Ino made to try and team up against Neji, but as we ran in too tackle him, Shikamaru just lazily grabbed Ino's ponytail, which was swaying as she ran, and pulled her back, sending her flying head first into the dirty, almost empty bowl of custard, while Neji just easily swatted me away, and since I was now paying attention to Ino, I ended up joining her, but I managed to land so I was sitting in the custard, and ended up hurting my bum.

I CAN beat him, I just wasn't paying attention! And plus, I didn't have anything to throw!

Well, I guess you can't win them all now can you?

I swung my legs over the side of the bed, and stood up and staggered over to the draws and pulled out a top, shorts and other stuff I need to wear or use to get ready for the day. I then stumbled across the room to the bathroom, making as much noise as I possibly could, I mean I'm awake, so why shouldn't I wake Neji up? That was the fun bit of waking up first!

I came out of the bathroom, showered, clean and dressed, ready to annoy the hell out of the boys.

As I reached my bed, I somehow managed to stub my toe on the bed post thingy, and cursed loudly.

"SHITTTTT!" I half-yelled half-muttered (don't know how I did it!).

"Are you trying to wake the whole house up or summin?" Neji muttered, head slowly lifting of the pillows, using his elbows to prop himself up, so he was kind of sitting.

"Nope, just you!" I grumbled, dropping my stuff on the bed and rubbing my now very sore toe.

"Well, you succeeded!" He growled, he probably wasn't a morning person either, judging by his mood. He had more mood swings in one day then anyone else I know, I really must ask him if he has a period one day... or if he is a boy for that matter... "Now I'm awake, wanna go make me some breakfast?"

"WHAT!?" I exclaimed. "What do you think?"

"Yes?" He answered hopefully.

"NOOOOO!" I screamed in amazement.

"Well, I thought it was worth a try!" Neji defended, jumping (well more like falling) out of bed, dragging his body to the chest of drawers and wardrobe then, somehow, he managed to walk into the bathroom.

I laughed out loud as I heard a large crash, followed by a series of unrepeatable cursing.

"HAAAHAAA!" I yelled at him through the door. "YOU FELL FOR IT!"

"Immature idiot!" I heard him yell back, and then the shower started. I can't believe he fell for it! That was pure GOLD!

Well basically I was bored, and ready before leaving the bathroom, I decided it was worth a go to set up a small trap, thinking it would be sooo funny if it worked! Basically (I'm not going to tell you how I did it, just what it did) I made it so that when he turned on the shower, the thing I had set up full of soap would fall, covering them with soap, the water would be freezing cold, and the bit he hasn't found out yet... it like locks the shower door. I wonder how long till he finds that bit out?

"Tenten, YOU IDIOT!" Neji yelled at me through the locked doors. Not long then. He must have only had a quick shower.

"Yes?" I answered innocently. At least I wasn't in a fowl mood any more.

"The door is stuck, would that have anything to do with you?" Neji asked, trying (failing) to hide the anger in his voice. I had better get up first tomorrow, or else I think I have no idea what he will do to me. Oh and I had better make sure he is asleep before I am or else I won't be waking up...

"No of course not, the shower bit I did, but not the door!" I yelled, pretending to be hurt by his idea that it was me, but failing miserably as I laughed.

"YOU WAIT TILL I GET OUT OF HERE!" Neji screamed at me.

"Well, that could be a while then!" I yelled back, but not taking any chances, I ran downstairs and into the front room, before collapsing in hysterics.

"What's up with her?" Shikamaru asked, tapping my body that was on the floor with his foot.

"No idea, don't ask me!" Ino grumbled.

After about three minutes of uncontrollable laughter I managed to stand and construct an explanation.

"Well, I woke up before Neji , and was bored, after finishing getting ready. So I decided to set a trap for him in the shower, and well, he fell for it!" I said, laughing again. Ino joined in, while Shikamaru had a lazy grin on his face.

"TENTEN, NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Neji called from the stairs. At this point my laughter had stopped, while Ino's had increased, and Shikamaru was now sniggering. I quickly ran into the kitchen and hid behind a giggling Hinata, who was, before I came in, chatting away happily to Naruto. I guess some pairs get on better then others. Plus the only person who Naruto sees as competition is Sasuke.

"Tenten, there is no point in hiding behind Hinata as I will just, easily, move her out of the way!" Neji growled. I peered out from behind Hinata's shoulder and grinned sheepishly at the very pissed off Neji. I slowly stepped out from behind Hinata...

Ring Ring!

SAVED BY THE PHONE! I dived towards it and put it on loud speaker.

"Heyy Shizune!" I cheered into the phone, never have I been so glad to know that my deputy head teacher was on the other side of the line.

"Hiya Tenten, can you get everyone together in one room again please, I need to tell you your task, and we need to sort out all that stuff. I will call you back in five minutes!" Shizune rambled on, before hanging up.

"Right, lets go get everyone together in the front room Hinata!" I cheerfully said.

"You got lucky this one time Tenten..." I heard Neji call after me, as me and Hinata left the room.

We were all sat on the sofa's in the front room, the girls all sat on one, the boys on the other. It went something like this;

On the Girls sofa:

Ino

Hinata

Me

Sakura

On the Boys sofa:

Shikamaru

Naruto

Neji

Sasuke

So, some how, we had all managed to sit opposite our room mates. I chanced a glance at Neji, who was staring daggers at me, making me shudder. Well, this task sure as hell will be interesting!

Ring Ring!

Sakura grabbed the phone, that was vibrating in her lap, and answered it followed by putting it on loudspeaker.

"Is everyone there?" Shizune asked, filling the loud, silent place with sound. In the background you could hear the heavy metal music from the mini-bus yesterday.

"Yerr, we are all hear, so what's happening today?" Naruto asked impatiently. He was bored, which was bad news for everyone.

"Well, you are going to have a bit of a sports competition today! I know how easy that sounds, but you will be hand cuffed to your room mate, in two teams of four! So the teams are room... 1 and room... 3! I think you all know who is in your team, so I will be round soon with the stuff, and I will be the ref! See you then!" Shizune said it all in one go, then hung up. We all sat there for a second or two before arranging ourselves into the teams, then we waited... and waited... and...

Ding Dong!

Sakura ran of happily to go greet Shizune, while we just sat here in a gloomy silence waiting for their friend and teacher to reappear.

I didn't know how boring it would be to be in this group, I thought it would be quiet fun with Naruto in it, but with Neji in a killer mood, me not daring to talk, Hinata sitting in between me and Neji (my saviour!) and Naruto having a glaring contest with Sasuke for no reason known to me. But by the looks of it the other team were just as bored as we were.

"Right guys, sit next your room pair!" Shizune said, getting straight to the point upon entering the room. That's when it hit me... I HAVE TO BE HANDCUFFED TO SOME ONE WHO WANTS TO KILL ME, AND PLAY SPORT WITH THEM! This is pure and simple... some one with power hates me!

"What the hell have I ever done to deserve this?" I darkly muttered, so only Hinata could hear it. She sympatheticly giggled, and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, before standing up and going to Shizune, me close behind her.

"Right," Shizune started, standing back to admire her work... and the death glares she was getting. "Now, onto the sport!"

"Please don't be something that involves fighting! Or else I think my team mate may turn on me!" I exclaimed, receiving a rather hard poke in the side, from Neji, warning me to shut up before he kills me.

"Don't worry! It's nothing like that..." The women soothed, before screaming, "IT'S DODGEBALL!"

"Ummm... how is that going to work?" Naruto stupidly asked.

"Well, if one of your pair gets hit, you are both out. There will be four balls. The winning team is the last one with some one remaining, and as this will be short, its best of three!" She explained, quickly.

"Yes, that's all well and good, but where are we going to play it?" Ino asked.

"I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU! IF YOU ASK ME ONE MORE STUPID QUESTION THEN I WILL TIE YOUR LEGS TOGETHER AS WELL!" Shizune snapped. Man, I think Tsunade's temper had rubbed off on the once-upon-a-time patient lady.

We all shut-up, and followed her out of the room, and down to the beach we haven't yet played on. There was court made out of stones, then another line down the middle with four balls spaced evenly along the line. Then, at the back of the court there was two little stones out of place. All of a sudden Neji started walking to the pitch, taking me by surprise and making me full over. This, to my misfortune, did not stop Neji. He just carried on walking, dragging me along the sand (that bit was lucky, it could have been stones), until he reached the odd stone furthest away from where we were (I think he hates me... don't know why though :P) and stood there. I quickly stood up, and began brushing the sand off of me with one hand. Everyone else began to go their places as well.

"Right, three... two... one... GOOO!" Shizune roared, and we all ran forward.

I managed to grab a ball, that I threw towards Ino and Shikamaru, and as they were to busy arguing over who to throw the ball at, I managed to hit them directly, no surprise but it's nice to know my aim is still perfect! One down one to go, and by the looks of it, Hinata and Naruto aren't going to be able to throw it, Hinata's aim has never been... on target... when she was throwing something, when she throws a punch she is fine, but not an object. And I think Naruto's can't be much better, he is too hyper!

Neji roughly tackled me out of the way of a ball, me grabbing it as it flew past us. Right, I carefully aimed for them... and HIT!

"First round to rooms 1 and 3!" Shizune exclaimed. "Take a quick break!"

I ran over to everyone else, Neji following, then Hinata and Naruto slowly walking over.

"Listen I have an idea, coz we have fuck all in the way of stuff to do here at night, in the third game, we 'lose' the balls, and come and get them later?" I whispered to everyone. They all nodded.

"RIGHT! BREAKS UP, BACK IN POSITION!" Shizune yelled at us from the other side of the pitch. We all walked back to where we were previously and got ready to run. This time there was only three balls. "Ready steady... GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!"

With that me and Neji ran forward as fast as we could, and grabbed a ball each. I put mine under my foot, to make it easier to Neji to throw his, which hit Sasuke square in the chest. I quickly picked up my ball and aimed for Ino, hitting, and as it hit Ino Neji got hit by a ball from Shikamaru. Both pairs were out, leaving the only remaining team there was... OURS!

"Room 1 and 3 win again!!" Shizune announced. I ran forward as did Neji, and we distracted Shizune while the others 'lost' the balls in some bushes. When we could think of nothing else to say we slowly walked away, walking over to the others, who were all sat chatting quietly. "Hmmm... where are the balls? That's a shame, I will have to get them another day then I guess. Byeeeee then!"

"WAIT! UNLOCK US FIRST!" I screeched at her retreating back.

"Oh right yerr, might have to do that... but only if you try and find those balls for me..." She muttered, turning around to free us! "Now, bye this time for good!"

We all sat there in silence till we heard the car start, and drive of. The three boys and Sakura all dived into the bushes, pulling the balls out of the bushes, at the foot of the cliff.

"So, who wants to play ball?" Sakura asked grinning, before dribbling the ball, me chasing her, while Hinata laughed at us, as I tackled her, sending us both rolling into the sea.
