STOMACH FLU
*Naruko's p.o.v*
"Morning, Hinata." I smiled as I rubbed my eyes.
"Morning, Naru." She smiled as she got up from her bed.
"I need to use the bathroom!" Makoto shrieked as she woke up. She knocked on the bathroom door with violence and she didn't notice us.
"Morning, Makoto." Hinata greeted and Makoto turned to look at us like we were from another planet. Hinata and I exchanged raised eyebrows.
"Morning. Who are you? And where am i?"
"We're at camp. Are you okay?" I asked as she looked round the room.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I CAN'T BE AT KEEGO'S!" she screamed and I pulled Hinata out of the cabin.
"What's with her?"
"She'll come back to her senses soon."
We looked round. I could see Temari in a tank top and shorts.
"Hi, girls!" she called out.
"Hey! You're going jogging?"
"Yeah. Come on."
"Sure. Let's go change."
*1 hour later*
My hair was in a high ponytail and I was wearing a blue t-shirt and pink shorts. Hinata's hair was in two ponytails. She was wearing a purple tank top and white shorts.
"Let's go!"
We put on our earphones and jogged away from the camp site. We jogged into the forest, enjoying the breeze in our hair.
"Girls, I think there might be wild animals here. Let's don't go far." Hinata whispered.
"Don't be such a scaredy cat, Hinata. Let's explore the place." Temari said as we jogged deeper.
We stopped at a river which sparkled under the sunlight. Flowers surrounded the banks e.t.c.
"This is beautiful." Hinata smiled as she picked a shiny pebble from the river.
"Here's not so deep. See, we found something! When we get really hot, we can come here." Temari said.
"Great. Now, let's get back to camp before someone realizes we're missing."
*Naruto's p.o.v*
"Morning, teme!" I yelled as Sasuke opened his eyes. "You slept in."
"Damn!"
"I wonder what the girls are going to cook today because I am starving." Ari said as he jumped on his bed.
`"Me too. Get dressed and let's go check it out."
*1 hour 30 minutes later*
We were all refreshed and ready for the day.
"Morning, Sasuke-kun!" girls shrieked as we came out of our cabin.
"Can't i be free for once?!" Sasuke yelled as girls chased him around.
Ano and I walked to Asuma-sensei's cabin. He was still asleep.
"Asuma-sensei, what are we eating for breakfast and who are those on duty today?" I asked.
"Uh... Numata, Tenten, Karin, Natahashi and Zo." He said reading from the list.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! NUMATA, NATAHASHI AND ZO ARE THE BIGGEST TOM BOYS OF OUR SCHOOL! YOU CAN'T LET THEM COOK OR WE'LL DIE!" Ano shouted.
"AND TENTEN IS A BOY IN A GIRL'S BODY AND KARIN IS AS LAZY AS SHIKAMARU!" I shouted.
"Well, that's how it is. How are you sure they can't cook? Let's try them."
"You'll regret this, Asuma-sensei."
*Sasuke's p.o.v*
I ran faster into the forest and soon, I couldn't hear anything so I stopped and that was when Naruko fell over me. I gazed into her eyes as she blushed slightly.
"Sorry. She is such a klutz!" Temari said as she pulled Naruko up. "What were you running away from, Naru?"
"Hey! I thought you guys ditched me!" Naruko said as Hinata came towards them. None of them noticed that I was still there. They walked away as I kept on staring at Naruko. She had the perfect fig...!
"TEME?!"
I opened my eyes to see blonde hair.
"Where have you been?!" he asked as Ano helped me up.
"How long have I been out?"
"Out of your senses, about thirty minutes and you kept muttering a name but I can't make it out. Out of camp, two hours."
"And guess who's cooking today! Karin and Tenten and Ano's school's biggest tom boys! Isn't that just great? We're going to puke today, so save some energy to do that."
"And Sasuke, when you were out os your senses you kept muttering a name but I can't make it out and you said 'perfect lips' 'sexy eyes' 'bright long hair'. From those, I gather you were dreaming about a girl! So, who's she?" Ano asked as I glared.
"It was nothing. Let's go!"
"What even made you unconscious, teme?!" Naruto asked as we walked back to the camp site.
"I... Fan girls."
*Naruko's p.o.v*
I sat on one of the long logs of wood that we used as chairs (the logs of wood that surrounded the fire last night) with Hinataand Temari. We were watching those on cooking duty. Karin was throwing anything into the pot that wasn't on a fire. Tenten was chopping anything that was in sight. Natahashi was sharpening the knives. Zo was listening to music. Numata was on a tree and swinging her legs.
"We are so going to puke." Tsiyi said as she sat with us. She had just finished sweeping our cabin.
Soon, everyone was seated on the logs except the cooking team and the teachers.
"What's taking so long?!"
"I'm starving!"
"I'm hungry!"
"My tum is growling!"
I groaned as I listened to people complaining. Chouji stood up with so much violence we all looked at him. His eyes were red and he was frowning. He walked over to where the 'cooks' were.
"What is taking so long?" Chouji asked the 'cooks'.
"Why don't you go sit your ass down like everyone, fatty?!" Numata asked and we from Konoha High shuddered. Chouji turned with speed and Numata turned pale. She ran away and Chouji turned to Karin who was stirring.
"What's taking so long?"
"There! I've finished my masterpiece! A delicious meal that no one has made or perfected. You are honoured to be the first to taste my masterpiece, Chouji. So, how is it?" Karin said in a high pitched voice.
We all waited as Chouji took a spoon from Karin and dipped it into the dark pot. He tasted it and:
"YOU ARE RIGHT! THIS IS A MEAL THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CREATED OR PERFECTED! IT'S A MASTERPIECE!... IT'S HORRIBLE! IT'S TERRIBLE! MY STOMACH IS SO GOING TO BLOW!" Chouji yelled as he clutched his middle and his mouth and zoomed off to only kami knows where. The teachers came out then.
As Tsiyi went to tell the them what happened, Karin walked over to us.
"He's just exaggerating. It's not that bad. Will you taste it, Sasuke-kun?" she asked as she thrust a spoon which contained a green liquid in Sasuke's face. He clutched Naruto's shoulder and tried to hold his puke.
"Well, you atleast made something. What about the others?" Sakura said as she patted Karin's back.
"It doesn't matter. What's the use of cooking if you know it's going to be useless? It just doesn't make sense." I mumbled but Karin heard me.
"Well, why don't you cook for every one everyday till we leave camp, bitch."
*Naruto's p.o.v*
I thought Naruko would send Karin flying with a punch but she just smiled.
"Well, then. What would you do, Karin?" she asked Karin as she stood over her.
"I'll do your chores."
"No. I don't trust you to do my chores with perfection, so don't bother. Anyways, Hinata, let's go check the main cabin for anything." She smiled at Hinata as she stood up.
"S-sure, Naru. Temari, are you coming?"
"I'm bored, so yeah!" Temari stood up and they left.
"Who is she trying to please?" Karin yelled. "Trying to act like she knows everything."
"If you have anything against me, Karin, try to be better than me." Naruko yelled back.
*Sasuke's p.o.v*
Naruto stood up from the log with so much energy, I almost fell. I glared at him as he sniffed the air.
"I wonder what she's up to this time." Shino drooled as I rolled my eyes.
"That reminds me. Did you ask Naruko out?" Neji asked.
"No. I'm going to soon. Will you give me tips?" Shino asked and Gaara hit his head.
"She's mine, buzz! So, back off." Gaara yelled and Kiba hit his head.
"Who told you that, baka! Naruko's mine and believe me she sees only me." Kiba said and Sai hit his head. Naruto and I stared at him in surprise.
"Do you know how we solve this fight?" Kiba asked as they all stopped in mid-punch, mid-kick.
"How?" Shikamaru asked as he opened his eyes.
"We just ask Naruto who she likes." Gaara suggested and they all gathered Naruto.
"So, who does she like, Naruto?"
"I don't know."
"She tells you everything. How can't you know?!"
"Well, she stopped telling me when she got back from her new school. Sorry, guys. I think you should confront her."
*Naruko's p.o.v*
Soon, we had just finished making rice balls and pork buns when Chouji, Ano, Ari and Naruto appeared with baskets of oranges.
"So, we don't have to eat breakfast with no liquid." Chouji said as they left.
"It's really nice of them to help us bring these fruits but they left it to us to squeeze and that's the real work. Curse all those lazy girls." Temari muttered as Hinata and I laughed.
"Hey, girls. We figured we could help you." Sakura and Ino appeared with innocent smiles. I narrowed my eyelids as I raised my brow.
"What's the catch?"
"Nothing."
So, they helped.
"What I don't understand is why the teachers came with us when all they did was tell us our chores, our room mates and our cabins." Sakura muttered as she threw orange peels away.
"Yeah. The females just cleaned up the main cabin and that was all. Then, we cook and they eat!" I said as I placed a rice ball on a plate.
"We'll confront them soon enough. Lazy assholes!" Ino muttered as she almost cut her hand.
*Naruto's p.o.v*
"I am so tired of arm wrestling." I moaned as Sasuke won for the umpteenth time. Then, I caught sight of Naruko and Hinata holding trays. "At last! Breakfast at eleven! How great!"
"You should blame Karin's group, not us. You should be greatful we offered to help or you'll be writhing in hunger!" Temari said as she gave me my plate and cup.
"Naruko's a really good cook." Kiba drooled as he gulped down his juice.
*FLASHBACK*
I moaned as Naruko switched off the TV.
"I am so hungry I could eat you." She said as she stood over me with an evil glint in her eyes. I shuddered and my stomach growled.
"Well, I am too and besides, I am too skinny. This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to be lucky with the money mum and dad left us before they flew off to Hawaii."
"Hey! I am a great gambler and I'm way luckier than you." She yelled. Mum and Dad had gone to Hawaii and had left us more than enough money to last us a week. Then, as we went grocery shopping, Naruko saw some gamblers and 'miss. Lucky' decided to prove to me her 'off the hook' skills. She lost and that resulted in our current situation.
"Well, what are we going to eat? How are we going to survive before mum and dad get back, Lucky?!"
She placed her hands on her hips thinking as I rolled my eyes. She smiled suddenly and went out of the house.
"Naruto, our worries are over! Did I ever tell you cooking was one of my many great talents?!" she shrieked as she came in wearing an apron.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically. She glared at me and went to the kitchen. I followed her and watched in amazement as she dropped anything into the pot. The aroma was mouth watering. Then, she turned to me with a smile and served me. It looked like ramen but I didn't care, the aroma was getting in my nose.
I gulped down everything not caring to taste it. Just as I finished, I felt the taste and it was...HORRIBLE!
"NARUKO, WHAT WAS THAT?"
"Did you like it?! My specially flavoured ramen!" she beamed.
"WHAT WAS IN THAT?!" I aksed as I looked at her with evil eyes. She gulped as she fidgeted.
"Maggots and earthworms."
"Maggots and eartworms...hmmm. MAGGOTS?! EARTHWORMS?! YOU'VE KILLED ME! ALL THE BACTERIA AND DISEASES AND CREEPY CRAWLY THINGIES!" I screamed.
"Hey, I washed them off with antiseptic and I killed them. There's no disease or bacteria or virus or fungus!"
"YOU'RE THE WORST COOK EVER!" I yelled as I tried to gag but nothing was coming out.
(in case, you are wondering how they survived, they stayed at (Big Bro Naggy)their cousin's house. Guess who it is? Uzumaki Nagato!)
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I smiled as I gulped down my drink. "She's changed into a good cook, huh?"
