A Change of Scenery
A:N // I hope you all liked the last chapter and I hope that you all like this chapter! I didn't mention it in Chapter Six, but I've been banned from the internet! (cry) So, the only time I'll be able to update is if I go to a friends place or something. I'm currently writing instead of being on the internet, and I'm carrying around every chapter on a USB drive in hope of finding a computer with internet access that doesn't have fanfiction banned! Oh well, here's the chapter.
----------------------------------------
When Max woke up the next morning, he found that the girls weren't in the house. He looked upstairs, downstairs, outside, everywhere in their property. He wondered where they could have got too. Shrugging, he walked downstairs again and grabbed a banana from the fruit basket.
----------------------------------------
With Carly and Jess
----------------------------------------
Carly and Jess were having the time of their life training with Tenten and Hinata. They had been sparing with them for about 2 hours, since dawn. Tenten had let Carly and Jess know with a little note that she had hid from the boys by handing it to them in disguise. AKA, the fruit basket that Team Gai had given them. Carly had found it when she hid the money under the pear. The note had said:
"Jess, Carly, meet Hinata and I
at training grounds five
tomorrow at dawn.
It's a girls only training session,
held every Saturday,
but Hinata and I are usually the only
ones that attend, for Sakura and Ino
are usually swooning over Sasuke,
and Temari's too powerful for us.
Love, Tenten"
So, the girls had gone done to the training grounds before Max woke up, and had met Tenten and Hinata there, as planned. Little did they know, they were being watched.
Kiba and Neji had noticed, that every Saturday morning, Hinata and Tenten went missing from 6-8. So, being naturally curious, they had followed one morning, both unaware of the other. They had eventually seen each other, and eventually figured out that the girls sparred with each other in the time they were missing.
Although Kiba and Neji said that they were curious, both knew that the other had a crush on either Tenten or Hinata. Kiba liked Hinata, and Neji liked Tenten. Not that they'd admit it of course. This morning however, they were surprised to find the new girls, Carly and Jess, join the other two in sparring.
"Jess's pretty good isn't she?" Kiba commented. "Yeah, she is, but so is Carly. She can almost fully block all of Tentens weapons, save the occasional kunai." Neji added, motioning to Tenten and Carly throwing various weapons at each other. "Hmm, but look at Jess and Hinata. Jess is fighting with careful precision, isn't she? I'm actually a bit worried about Hinata this time." Kiba replied.
The boys continued to watch until the girls stopped sparing and started to gather their weapons and pack up.
"Nice job, Carly. You're pretty good at blocking." Tenten said, helping Carly bandage up her wounds from the various kunai. "Hey, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to kill me!" Carly joked, tying the last bandage up. Tenten smiled, and walked over to Hinata and Jess, who were chatting contentedly to each other.
"S-so Jess, are you g-going to the s-sleepover at K-K-Kibas?" Carly heard as she too joined them. "Well, yeah. Carly, Max and I want to go, for sure!" Jess said with excitement. "Hinata, when actually is the sleepover?" Hinata looked surprised. "W-well, it starts at 5:30 pm t-this afternoon." Hinata explained. Jess nodded.
----------------------------------------
5:10 pm
----------------------------------------
"Damnit Max! Hurry up and pack! We've got five minutes until Tenten arrives to take us to the sleepover!" Carly shouted, hitting Max over the head with her hairbrush. (She had found it in the bathroom in a cabinet) "God, Carly, aren't you taking this a bit seriously?" Max asked, rubbing his sore head. "Well, I haven't met Shika-kun yet! I'm betting he'll be there!" Carly shouted again. She's a big Shikamaru fangirl. Max sighed and packed some clothes.
When Tenten arrived, Carly, Max and Jess all picked up their bags and walked with Tenten to the park. "Why are we here? Isn't the sleepover at Kibas?" Jess asked. "Yeah, but I'm waiting here for Neji and Lee. They're doing their evening spar just over the hill." Tenten said, pointing to a hill 5 kilometres away. Carly nodded, as did Jess and Max.
After a few minutes, the distant figures of Lee and Neji came into sight. It seems that they were having a race. A black and white blur was just ahead of a green and black blur, and suddenly, Lee and Neji stood in front of them, panting, a look of triumph upon Nejis face. It was inevitable that he'd win anyway. So the six set off towards Kibas house.
As they walked, a large house appeared. The back of the house was up against the wall that separated the village from the forest, and it seemed that there was a small hole in the wall leading through covered by vines and large leaves. Outside the house were several potted plants and various chew toys.
Tenten walked right up to the door. Carly thought she heard talking coming from inside as Tenten just opened the door, stepped in and shouted: "Look who's finally here!" Lee laughed, and bounded forward, his bag bouncing off his back. Neji followed at a slower pace, and Max soon followed. Tenten, Carly and Jess came in after the boys, and Tenten walked up to their host.
"Hey Kiba! Where can Carly, Jess and I put our stuff?" she asked. Kiba looked over at them, and said with a smile, "Where ever the hell you want!" Tenten laughed, then added in a serious tone, "No seriously. We don't want none of you perverted boys going through our bags!" Kiba laughed, then added, "Yeah, yeah, I hear ya. Sakura, Ino, Temari and Hinata were the same. There's a room for you girls to do whatever upstairs, first door to your left."
The girls walked upstairs and entered the first room to their left. As Carly was in the lead, she was the one that got the shock. She screamed as a kunai embedded itself in the door frame, a mere inch from her face. She then heard laughter from inside. "Haha! You should have seen your face!" laughed Sakura. A girl with long blond hair, who Carly identified as Ino, was nodding and laughing at Sakuras comment.
Temari walked up to the three girls. "Ha, sorry about that, but we seriously don't want boys coming in here, so we set up traps." She explained. Once Carly realised that she wasn't being attacked, she laughed too, in relief. Tenten then walked in and sat down in the circle with Hinata, Ino and Sakura. Then, as Jess walked in, the laughing stopped. Sakura and Ino looked at Jess with envy and hate in their eyes, and Jess just ignored them.
----------------------------------------
"Hey girls! We're gonna start having some fun!"
"Coming Kiba!!" Tenten yelled.
It had been about ten minutes since the girls arrived, and they had spent that time setting up traps in case the boys decided to come in while they weren't there. All in all, they had 30 kunai traps pointing at the door and the two windows, mouse traps set on the window sill and three nets: one placed above the door and one above each window. They felt they had done a good job. Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Temari, Tenten, Carly and Jess carefully stepped through their traps, and closed the door quietly behind them. The girls walked down stairs and found the boys sitting in a circle.
"C'mon girls! Time for a little bit of fun. We've got pass-the-parcel ready!" Kiba shouted happily. Everyone was surprised when Carly and Jess yawned and pulled chips and soda from behind their backs. "We've something funnier in mind." They declared, and the boys parted their circle to make room for the seven girls.
Jess and Carly stood up and started to explain their game. "It's called The Drinking Game. You're supposed to play with alcohol, but we're all under age so we're using soda instead." Carly explained. Jess then said, "What happens is that we spin a bottle in the middle of our circle, and who ever it points too has to ask everyone a true or false question. If it's true, you drink an inch; if it's false, you do nothing." Jess finished, both the girls sitting down.
Carly spun the bottle in the middle of the circle. It span around and around and around until it came to a stop on Hinata. She looked a bit shocked, but tried to think of something to ask. "Anou... You've gone to a club sport and made a complete fool of yourself."
Naruto picked up a can of soda and poured a glass for everyone. He then drank about an inch of his. Shino, Carly, Jess, Kiba, Ino and Sakura joined him soon after. She being the one the bottle landed on, Hinata got to spin next. It landed on Kankuro.
"... You've kissed someone before." He said, taking a drink from his glass. Carly, Sasuke, Naruto, Shino and Temari drank also. Kankuro then span the bottle. It landed on Jess. "Ooohhh yay! My turn!" she said excitedly. "Umm, okay, you've got a crush on someone in this room." She stated. Thirteen hands reached for their drinks.
"Woah! Neji, Hinata, Carly, Max, Temari, Shikamaru, Tenten, Kiba, Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Sasuke and Lee! Looks like love is in the air here!!" she shouted, clapping her hands together. Carly burst out laughing and Jess joined her almost immediately.
Neji, Hinata, Max, Shikamaru, Tenten, Kiba, Naruto, Sakura, Ino and Sasuke blushed, but only Hinatas was visible for some weird reason.
The game continued for the next few hours. By the end, they had used up a total of twenty cans of soda. Carly yawned. "I'm getting bored of this game now. How about we play Truth or Dare. Boys versus girls." She suggested. Jess shrugged and agreed, as did Max. The rest of them looked a little confused. "We know how to play Truth or Dare, but what's with the boy versus girls part?" Chouji asked. He had enjoyed The Drinking Game immensely.
Carly began to explain to them. "Boys versus girls is like a competition of who can have to most fun and make the most noise while still playing the game. But, it doesn't really matter. We usually end up having so much fun we forget about the competition." She said. "Okay Kiba, it's your house, you decide who goes where."
