Finally, Chapter 10!

Wes and Ticklers

Megan POV

Sasuke and I continued to play on the gamecube, but we had moved on to different games. I was losing too.

"You learn way too quickly," I said, fighting to get my character to move.

"It's easy," he smirked.

"Oh shut-" I stopped after hearing the doorbell ring. I paused the game.

"Hey!" Sasuke didn't like that.

I smiled, "Someone's at the door." I got up from the floor and walked around the couch to the main hallway.

Third Person

Rayven sat in the front seat of the black truck, as she drove the group of five back to the city. Tempany sat in the middle, while Kira looked out the open window. The three boys sat in the flat-bed.

"You guys okay back there?" Kira yelled out the window.

Kiba smiled and yelled back, "Perfect!"

Kira giggled and pulled her head back inside the vehicle. Tempany looked at Rayven.

"You're not going to spill are you?" she asked.

"No way! I won't do that! Meg said I would meet them," Rayven smiled.

All of a sudden, 'All Around Me' by Flyleaf started to play from Kira's phone. She picked it out of her pocket to answer the call.

"Hello~?" Kira dragged out. "Huh? Okay... Yeah, we're on our way now... No we were at Ray's... She got stuck in the loft. Then we were attacked again... Yeah, we're fine... Okay... WHAT? Okay, okay. Bye Kota."

"What's going on?" Tempany asked.

"We need to get to Meg's, and fast. Kota said that you should stay with us, Ray," Kira's face turned solemn. "They think Wes is going to the house."

The truck sped up as anger filled Rayven's face. Tempany called to the guys; telling them to hold on.

"That bastard better not be there," Ray sneered.

Dakota's POV

I had Hinata turn the call off while I put the Jetta into 'Speed'. It was a sports car, after all. I pushed down on the pedal, letting the car reach the maximum speed for the dirt road.

"What's so bad about this Wes guy anyway?" Naruto asked from the back.

"Meg and him used to date," I answered, "After they broke up, he dated one of our friends. Those two spilt and he thought Meg would take him back. She didn't."

"So?" Kakashi blinked. "Why's that so bad?"

"When ever he's alone with Meg, he acts different. And I don't think Sasuke will like how he acts. Kira and them are closer. Apparently something happened at a friend's house. Rayven isn't exactly a fan of Weslie either."

"I-is tha-that why we-we're sp-speed-speeding?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah, we need to get there fast. The police in the town know the car, so we won't be pulled over," I explained smiling, "Ms Beth likes to speed when getting home."

Megan's POV

I opened the door laughing. How could I not when Sasuke was yelling at me to 'hurry up or I would get it'. I turned back to the door to see a boy with shoulder length brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"Weslie," I breathed.

"Hey Meg. I didn't come at a bad time did I?" Wes asked, peering around me into the house.

"Um, kinda. See I have some company over right now," I tried to explain.

Wes pushed past me. "Can I meet 'em?" he asked, not giving me a chance to answer.

I sighed and closed the door. Turning around I hoped that the others would be back before anything happened. I walked into the living room to see Sasuke gone, and Wes looking at the game.

"Playing pretend again Meg?" Wes smirked.

"No," I squeaked. Wes's smile was giving me the creeps. "The girls should be back soon. You know, the whole Richard's reunion thing is today."

"Yea, I was supposed to help, but I thought I'd give you a surprise. Surprise," Wes walked over to me, smirking still.

"Yeah, Tem and Kira went to the movies, with some of our friends," I backed up.

"Oh, so they shouldn't be back for at least an hour. The reunion doesn't usually end this soon," he replied, taking slow steps towards me.

"I, uh, I guess not," I stuttered when my lower back hit the kitchen counter. All of a sudden, Sasuke was infront of me. He stood in-between the short meter Weslie had put up between us.

"Don't even think about it," Sasuke growled. Wes's smirk vanished.

I turned my head to see the door open. Rayven marched right up to Wes and slapped him.

"Go get some medication," she snapped.

Kira and Kiba ran over to me; both asking if I was okay. I simply smiled and said that I was.

Tempany's POV (Just so you'll know, Tem is British, so think all of this with an accent ^_^ lol Sorry Tem! I just couldn't figure out how to do it correctly)

Rayven opened the door and slapped Weslie. I couldn't help but smile. Kira and Kiba rushed in to check on Meg, while Gaara and I took our time getting to the door. Neji was waiting for the others to get to the house. I wasn't as worried as Kira, mainly because the whole way there I kept telling the girls Sasuke wouldn't let him hurt her.

"Gaara," I said to catch the redhead's attention.

"Hm," He stopped, glancing at the open front door.

"Ya should at least say 'Goodnigh' when you're staying on the roof when it's dark. Meg would like it," I smiled at him.

He was clueless, but I could at least try to give him a push. I looked over my shoulder when I heard the squeal of tires. Dakota was just getting out of the car.

"It's alright, Sasuke held him off before we got 'ere," I told her.

"Good," she sighed, "I'd rather go to jail for hitting Davis than Wes." I laughed with her.

"Rayven scared him off," I continued laughing.

"Sounds like her," Dakota took my arm, and we headed inside.

Megan POV

After everyone got back in the house, I started to make some tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Coffee for Kota, mom, and Kakashi, who got into the habit of drinking it from my mom. Tea for Gaara, Sasuke, Neji, Hina, and Temp. The hot chocolate was for me, Kira, Kiba, and Naruto.

I let mom take one of the pots over to Sara's, since our moms were going to web-chat with our dads. They were going to tell them about the ninja. I put the other pot of coffee, the kettle of jasmine tea, and the thermos of hot chocolate onto a tray. I then gathered mugs on the other tray.

I turned to get the milk out of the refrigerator, since I noticed Hina, Neji, and Gaara put something in the first night. I put the milk on the tray with the drinks and turned to the cupboards to put sugar in a small bowl. I set the sugar bowl on the tray with mugs and slid the tray onto my left hand. Once the tray was centered, I did the same to the tray of drinks.

I walked across the hall and smiled at the sounds of laughter and jokes. It was a good thing everyone was joking around after what happened earlier. When I entered the room, Kakashi took the drinks, and Kota took the mugs. I shook my head.

Those two act more like each other every day. Though, I guess it's more like, those two are too much alike to begin with. Thank the Lord, Kota isn't into smut. At least when others see.

I giggled.

"What's up Meg?" Kira asked.

"Nothing, just thinking," I smiled. Kira smiled back at me. I took my seat on the ottoman infront of Temp, who sat on the couch with Kira and Kiba.

It's amazing how Kira's personalities split so easily. One moment she's a sweet little girl, the next she's a serious woman. I hope she finds herself soon.

"Thank you," I said to Gaara, who was helping pass out the drinks. He nodded his reply.

I leaned back onto Tem's legs. She giggled. "What?" I turned to see Kiba reaching over to tickle both girls. Luckily neither had their drinks yet. "Hey leave me out of this," I said, pushing away from the couch.

I glided over to the love seat, where Naruto and Hina were sitting. Everyone seemed to be pushing those two together. Naruto was laughing at the girls, and Hina was giggling quietly.

"Hey Meg," Naruto leaned over to me.

"Oh no you don't," I pushed away from him, realizing he was about to tickle me.

"Neji stop it!" Kota gasped. I looked over to see him tickling her. I heard Hina's giggles get louder and watched as Naruto started to tickle her.

I jumped off mid-roll and started for the door. Once I was in the hall, I yelled back, "You'll never get me alive!" Then I dashed up the stairs.

I vaguely heard Tem say "No ninja tricks". I smiled. She was my lifesaver. I rushed over to my room and closed the door. I locked it and hoped the guys would listen to her.

I heard someone on the stairs. They banged on the door. I knew then they were going to play fair.

"At least I'm safe for a little," I whispered quietly. "Don't brake my door down!" I yelled at whoever was at the door.

"Then open it," a gruff voice said from behind me.

I turned around to spot Gaara in the corner. "How did you- When did- Where- Temp called no tricks," I finally found the words.

"I was here before she called it," he smirked.

"You're not going to tickle me are you?" I asked him. He shook his head no. I sighed relief. "How did you know I was going to my room? I could have gone to the bathroom or the spare room," I wondered.

"You would've jumped the window to the other house after you got a reply from Kakashi," he stated simply.

"Oh," I was shocked he knew me that well.

"Are you coming?"

I looked up to see Gaara with one foot out the window. "What do you mean?" I asked nervously.

"Come on," he urged me.

"Fine," I huffed. I walked around my bed to the window.

"Wrap your arms around my neck," he commanded.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just do it."

"Okay," I did as told, and he began to lift himself off the window-ledge. I giggled when the breeze started to hit my skin.

"Why are you giggling?" Gaara snapped.

I shut my mouth. "Sorry, it's just something I do," I told him. Once he pulled us up onto the roof I let go of him. "Thanks," I smiled.

He nodded and walked over to the chimney. I sighed and walked sideways down to the air vent I kept a blanket in. I pulled out the black mini-mink (s/p) and walked over to the window for the spare room. It jutted out from the roof since there were a couple of steps to get to that room.

I sat on the window looking out over the forest behind my house. The sun was setting, and though I wasn't looking at it, I could see the colors change the Forest of Hidden Gems. It was strange how the forest was split in two by the town. The lake wasn't large enough to be put on big maps. The forest surrounding the lake was called Crystal Forest, while the rest of the forest was called the Forest of Hidden Gems. It's been that way longer than my grandfather could remember.

Okay! Chapter ten is in the bag! Sorry it's off schedule. I hate school right now. The chapter actually matches the title... Or the other way around. Any who, I hope you guys liked it!
