Pablo: Duck and I are both working on our own stories now, so make sure to look at them.

Duck: I haven't even started typing mine, so it may be a while.

Pablo: Mine is posted. Hope you like chapter 10. R&R

Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Lee

Sakura and Ino finally fell asleep. All of that fighting made them tired. I guess that no one ever gets tired of being rivals.

The four shinobi awoke the next morning in a fantastic mood. It was their fifth day; which meant that they could finally go back to their normal way of living.

"Ugh," Ino said, "I am so glad to be going back. That wooden shelter is starting to make my back hurt."

"Where did you sleep on all of your missions?" Sakura asked.

"Um…" Ino replied; her and Shikamru blushing, "I had a hard time getting to sleep."

"Oh yeah," Sakura said concealing a laugh, "I forgot that Shikamaru was on your team."

An awkward silence arose until the youthful ninja spoke, "Ahhhh. Good morning my lovely Sakura-chan."

"Good morning, Lee," Sakura almost yelled, giving him a good-morning kiss, but when she remembered what Sakura had said about him, she decided to make that kiss a little bit longer."

When Ino saw that she pulled Shikamaru into a kiss. This is not a drag, Shikamaru thought.

There was a big poof, and Kakashi appeared. "Sorry about interrupting," he said, "but, I came to fetch you. Unless of course, you want to stay here."

"NO!" They all screamed at one.

"Okay, in that case," the silver-haired jounin laughed, "come with me."

The four Genin followed their sensei to the edge of the woods, where he typed in a four digit number combination.

"I don't get it," Sakura said looking puzzled, "I was at this part of the woods and I never saw this exit."

"It was disguised with an illusion jutsu," Kakashi explained, "I'm surprised that the best eye on the team didn't know that," he said with a smirk.

Sakura blushed the color of her pink hair, but Ino grew a smile from ear to ear. Lee walked over to Sakura and hugged her so that she would feel better, but she just pushed him away. Why did her sensei embarrass her like that, especially in front of Ino.

"I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Ino exclaimed as soon as she stepped out of the gate, "I can't wait to sleep in a bed again!"

This made all four Genin laugh. They started to think that in the past week they have gotten to know each other better than ever before. It was happy to leave, but also sad at the same time.

Tenten Neji Kiba Hinata Sauske Naruto.

"Isn't this the day we finally get to leave the woods?" our favorite blonde-haired shinobi asked.

"I think so," Kiba answered.

After saying that the six Genin heard a poof. Next thing that they knew Kurenai was standing in front of them.

"Kurenai-sensei?" Kiba asked, "Is this when we get to leave?"

"Yes, Kiba," the sensei, "Why don't you wake Hinata, Neji, Tenten, and Sauske."

"You got it," Kiba said, "I can't wait to get out of this place. Hinata, Neji, Sauske, Tenten…" Kiba went running after the shelter. About five minutes later, the other ninjas came back with Kiba half asleep.

"Follow me," Kurenai said laughing at the difference in personality. She lead them through a route similar to the one Kakashi lead the others. Soon Kurenai was at a gate with a different four-digit combination

"S-sensei," the shy kunoichi explained, "I've been to this part of the woods with Kiba, and I never saw this before."

"It was hidden with an illusion jutsu," Kurenai said in a matter-of-factly way unusually like hers.

"Are you all right sensei?" Kiba asked Kurenai.

"What me? I'm fine," the red-haired Jounin answered with a worried look on her face. When all of the sudden she ran off.

Pablo: Short, I know.

Duck: Just a little bit.

Pablo: Well please review if ever want an update again. That isn't a threat; it's a promise!
