Chapter 10
Third person P.O.V
If the darkest hour comes, before the light
Where is the light
Where is the light
If the darkest hour comes, before the light
Where is the light
Where is the light
Where is the light? Yeah!
Ave Mary a!
Where did you go?
We did you go
How did you know to get out of world gone mad?
Help me, help me, let go!
Of the chaos around me, the devil that hounds me
I need you to tell me
Child be still, child be still, child be still
Decked in a red and black frilled skirt and a black two layered shirt with her winter boots from her concert and wrist length fishnet gloves, punk angel was doing a mini-concert at her school. In two days, the Juniors were going to the snow mountains for the trip. The school had asked 'her' cousin to ask her if she could do a performance for fund raising. They needed $600 for the snow outfits the school was going to give like they did for the Winter Wonderland. Boy did that idea work. Even parents bought tickets which allowed the school to earn $20,000 which h was enough to get the snow outfits and get better rooms. After bowing, she sat at a baby grand as Sasuko took the mic. Neij and 'Melody' (all of Hinata's friends came as their star selves) also came on with violins and the schools choir came on.
Tears of an Angel
Cover my eyes, cover my ears
Tell my these words are lie
It can't be true, that I'm losing you
The sun cannot fall from the sky
Can you hear heaven cry, the tears of an angel
The tears of an angel, tears of angel, tears of an angel
Stop every clock, the stars are in shock
The river would run to the see
I won't let you fly, I won't say goodbye
I won't let you slip away from me
Can you hear heaven cry, the tears of an angel
The tears of an angel, tears of angel, tears of an angel
So hold on, be strong, everyday, hope will grow
I'm hear, don't you fear, little one
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Cover my eyes cover my ears
Tell me these words are lie
Two days later
Hinata brought her suitcase down from her room. Putting the suitcase down, she pulled out her phone and made sure she had everything. When she was sure, she put her phone back into her in her coat pocket. Her coat was light purple with fake white fur all along edges. Under she had on a black corset dress with multi layered skirt under a blue long sleeve shirt. On her feet she had on long dark purple and black socks and black boots. Going into the kitchen, Neij, who was in a long sleeve black polo, tan cargo pants, was packing snacks for the bus ride. Hinata made her cinomm rolls, mostly for Choji.
"Neij, you ready to get behind the wheel?"
Zipping up the bag the food was in and standing up he said, "just get the stuff in the car. Let's get this over with." After they got in the van, Hanabi who was in the back with Hinata, said, "We are going to die."
"Shut up. Ok, everyone buckled up?"
"Just drive." Those were a wrong choice of words. Neij pressed down on the accelerator and they shot forward and then stopped short when he hit the brakes.
"Neij!" the main Hyuuga family yelled
"Sorry!"
At school in jeans and winter jackets, Naruto and Sasuke stood on the sidewalk waiting for the Hyuugas. Sasuke wanted to make sure his girlfriend got there alive and Naruto wanted to make sure the cinnamon rolls came alive.
"Why are you worried? Neij said he was good driver." Naruto said
"Neij said a lot of things that weren't completely true." To prove his point, the Hyuuga's van was driving up the road way too fast. Both boys moved as the car's front wheel went up on the sidewalk. Hiashi got out shakily.
"Ok. Never again. Never ever again." Hanabi opened the door and fell out. "Land! I shall never leave you!" Hinata just leaned against the car trying to catch her breath from screaming so much. Neij, cool as a cucumber walked to the trunk and said, "Sasuke, Naruto, quit standing there like statues and give me a hand." After getting their snow outfits, they got on the bus. The boys sat next to their girlfriends. Hinata opened her box to be greeted by her cinnamon rolls squashed and one was stuck to the cover.
"Like daddy said, never again."
"Hey Hyuuga." Both Hinata and Sasuke, who had a cinnamon roll in his mouth, looked up to see Saukra. Since I'm the Junior class president, I'm in charge of entertainment."
"Just because you're in charge doesn't mean you entertain. And considering that you can't sing or dance, don't."
"Fine. If you're so good, you do it."
Giving Sasuke the box and taking off her jacket she walked to the front of the bus.
"Ok everyone, Saukra wants me to entertain you. So I think I will. Hey driver, the karaoke machine working?"
"Yep. You have an iPod to plug in?"
"iPhone but same jack." Plugging in her phone she put on the instrumental for a song she wrote but had yet to record.
Crystal Ball
Drinking wine and thinking bliss, is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head are skidding up and down again
Up and down and round again, down and up and down again
Oh, I've had my chances and I've taken them all
Just to end up right up right back here on the floor
To end up right back here on the floor
Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell
But I'm not scared at all… hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball
Sometimes you think everything is wrapped inside a diamond ring
Love just needs a witness and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience and less sporadic pace
And I'm learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes
Oh I've felt that fire and I've been burned
But I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learnt
I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learnt
Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell
But I'm not scared at all… hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball
Irony, irony, this hate and love, hate and love
What it does to me, what it's done to me
What is done…done
Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Broken mirrors and black cat's cold stare
Walk under ladders on my way to hell, I'll meet you there
But I'm not scared at all… hmm; I'm not scared at all
The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball
Bout the crakes in the crystal, the crakes in the crystal ball
This encouged everyone except Saukra to sing PA and/or Sasuko songs. Poor (not) Saukra. Her popularity hit an all time low and Kiba, her only follower left was now doing a duet with the French exchange student, Sora. Finally they reached the hotel, Snow Hotel. Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei stood in front of the group of Juniors while Guy-sensei and Asama-sensei got the suitcases out of the bus.
"Ok guys on one floor, girls on the other. You are allow to go on the floor before 11:30 pm. After that, if you are seen there and your excuse isn't good enough, you will be punished." Kakashi-sensei said
Kurenai held up a box and said, "One by one, come up and pick a paper. On the paper there is a letter. people with the same letter will be a group. To make sure boys don't end up with the girls, the first 13 letters are for girls and the others are for the boys. Alright come up and get your letter."
The groups that include our characters are:
Hinata, Sakura, Temari, Sora
Ino, TenTen, YaYa, Kin
Sasuke, Naruto, Lee, Kiba
Neij, Choji, Shika, Kukai
Boy, Hinata almost died when she heard she got stuck with Sakura. At least she had Tema and Sora was really nice. When she got the room key, Sasuke told her that judging from the key number, she might be above his room.
Hina P.O.V
We were told that our luggage will be dropped off later. Tema, Sky (Sora told us to call her that) and Slut, I mean, Sakura, and I went up on the elevator to room 307. Opening the door, we stood by the door in awe. Doing that mini-concert was totally worth it. There were two king size beds, a balcony near one of them, in front of the bed was a flat screen T.V., a door near the TV lead to the bathroom that was fit for a queen. Sakura, who I guess was use to this, snapped out of it and said, "I get the bed near the balcony. If Sasuke's out there he'll see me in my…"
Sora didn't let her finish, "Saukra, you can't choose. Hinata has the key which makes her in charge." I swear I liked this girl more and more.
"Since there are 2 beds we'll have to share. Tema will be with me and Sora; sorry you'll be with Saukra. I'm sure the sofa will be comfy."
"I'll take my chances. So K-sensei said when we get our bags we can go out. Who's coming with?"
"We will," I said referring to me and Temari who nodded in agreement. "The boys will be there and we have a bet with them. We're going to snow board and they're going to ski. Group with the least amount of wipe outs wins." Before we could continue someone knocked on the door. Opening it, Ino was there with a huge smile on her face, "Guess what?"
"What?"
"The hotel has activities for us teenagers and tonight they're having a pool party!"
"No way! You're joking?"
"No. And get this, if you don't have a swimsuit, they have new cute swimsuits!" this lead me, Ino, Tema and Sky to start screaming in delight. From the corner of my eye I saw Saukra roll her eyes. When someone knocked on the door, we stopped and saw Asuma with an unlit cancer stick in his mouth.
"I'm here to drop off luggage. Sora, what are your bags?" he was pulling a trolley of luggage. I spotted my purple and black Hello Kitty suitcase and small blue duffle bag. Sora's were all green with key chains with a picture of her and her brother. Tema's were purple with a bedazzled 'T'. I was wondering where Saukra's own was when guy-sensei pulled another trolley with cherry blossom pink suitcases packed to the top. Our limit was two suitcases and another small bag, mostly a duffle bag or a tote bag. Saukra obviously didn't listen since I counted 4 suitcases and 10 smaller bags.
"Saukra, we're staying here for 2 weeks not months." Ino said.
"We only paid for possibly 3 bags for everyone. You have to pay for the extras." She went into her hand bag, Parda (sp? I'm not a shopping fanatic), and pulled her wallet and pulled out a platinum gold credit card. Not even my dad gives me his credit card. I have to earn it myself.
"Here, use my card." Her card! Yeah right, she doesn't even pay for her own lunch. I just rolled my eyes and opened my suitcase and pulled out my snow outfit. The girls out was a pink pants and coat with fake grey fur around the hood and they gave us snow goggles lined in green, scarves and ski and snowboarding gloves, both green. Our school symbol was on the scarf and the gloves. After dressing we went down the elevator and when we got to the floor under us and the doors opened the boys came on. The boys snow outfit was like the girls except it was green and the goggles, scarves and gloves were orange. The colours were actually the same colour as our old gym uniforms. When we reached the lobby, we went to the snow boards and ski rental stand.
"So you ready to wipe out?" I asked Sasuke as I rented a sky blue board with snowflakes on it.
"Not a chance. To the ski lift!" the first people to wipe were TenTen, Lee and Naruto. Sasuke had to be the best skier. I knew how to snowboard from a music video I did. That and I like snowboarding better. The next people to wipe out were Kin and Kiba (he and Sora joined us on our bet). As I shot into the air after going up a snow drift and did a 180, I saw Sasuke was right behind me. I looked like he wanted a race. Landing, I shot forward with Sasuke close behind. Neij was also behind us until Sora, who was right next to him sprayed snow in his face which caused him to trip and make himself into a snow ball until he crashed into a lone tree in the middle. It was Shika, Tema, Ino, Choji and Sora were left and girls were winning the bet. I saw the resting lounge up ahead when something hit the back of my board. Turning I Sasuke had slipped and his left ski against my board. I was able to stay upright but Sasuke wasn't so lucky. He fell back into Choji, who let go of one of his ski poles and it hit Shika in the face. I swear I almost fell over laughing! All us surving girls reached the resting lounge at the same time. We all looked back and saw the boys in a tangled mess trying to get up but their skies kept tripping kept tripping them. We faced each other and burst out laughing. The others finally came down and the guys started to help the others untangle themselves and the girls came towards us laughing. When the boys finally came down, we smiled and Kin said, "Last 3 boys wiped out which means we win. Now as betted, you guys have to spend a night at the girls' room. Most likely with your girlfriends"
TenTen continued, "You have to get past the teachers when coming back downstairs."
"Now one more run before we get ready for the pool party." After having fun in the snow, we went back to our rooms and got changed. We pretty much wore what we did at the Star party and Kin had on a blue one piece. Saukra changed her swimsuit from the black two pieces to a pink monokini with sparkly flowers. She later told us, when Sora said she was heading down early cause she forgot her hat and had to go buy one, that they were diamonds but luckily for her they were so small they weren't worth anything. We went to the basement and walked into an indoor pool. I felt like I was back at the Star Party. It was heated and they had all sorts of slides that lead to the huge pool. We ditched Saukra at the door and met the boys at seats that were near a food and drink stand.
"Nice seats guys." Kin mentioned as she took a seat on Lee's chair. I happen to notice Kiba was with us and was talking to Sora who was in a green tankine with a fishers' hat on her head. I also noticed that other than being in the same chair, Kiba's lap was a seat to Sora's crossed feet. As I took a seat in between Sasuke's legs, I turned and asked about our new addition, "He's not going to invite Saukra is he?"
"We thought he was but when we were talking bad about her when we coming down here he actually joined and when we meet up with Sora, he hasn't stopped talking to her."
"Huh. Oh yeah, Ino, what other activates do we have?" Ino, who was sort of a pillow for Naruto, went into her bag and pulled out a page and handed it to me. It was laid out like this:
10 December-Pool party
11 December-Scavenger Hunt
12 December-Masquerade ball
13 December-Fashion show
14 December-Festival
15-Truth and Dare game
16-Big campfire
17-Kerioke night
18-Movie night
19- Grand opening of teen club
We had four days after that so they didn't have much more interesting stuff.
"So we can snow board for the last 4 days?" Sasuke asked reading over my shoulder.
"We could go to the club." I suggested
"What we could do is go in water. Come on." Sora said throwing of sun screen spray to us. Apparently the place was hot enough to get sunburn. After getting Sasuke to put the spray on my back, we all went to the biggest slide. Kiba got cold feet when it was his turn
"Kiba, you're holding up the line. Move it!" Temari yelled. Sora went behind him and pushed him down. He fell down face first and Sora went in after him. We had races, played volleyball in the water and had a lunch of tacos and salad. After 4 hours, we finally went back to our rooms. The boys had to come with us to finish the bet. After showering and blow drying my hair I changed into a pair of pyjama pants with multi coloured snowflakes on it and a triple strap tank top under my dad's old high school sweatshirt. I opened the door to be greeted by Saukra in skimpy see through dress. I recognised it as lingerie. Oh dear god, what was worse was that sasuke, shika and kiba were still waiting for a free bathroom. In the bathroom, they had two changing rooms. Thankfully, Sora and I came out at the same time and sasuke and shika went in. sora's pj's were a green and white long sleeve top and shorts and her hair was in a over the shoulder ponytail. Tema's were purple with these little fans all over them. Poor kiba, he was left and he couldn't look at sakura in the face. She obviously wasn't happy since she threw her brush at him.
"Kiba what are you doing here?"
Rubbing his forehead where it hit, he said, "Lee offered me to join in the bet he and his friends did. Sora said I could pair up with her."
"You took the losers offer?"
"Yeah, so what?" I was surprised that he was talking like this. He was, like, sakura's gremlin. That and I thought he was scared of her
"What did you say?"
"Kiba, changing rooms free." Shika said coming out in a pair of green pyjama pants. When Kiba went in, Sasuke came out in a black short pants and a red shirt. I then turned to Saukra and said, "Is there any chance you'll sleep on the floor tonight?" she just screamed and picking up a short robe, put it on and walked out. I turned to Sasuke and said, "Sora and Kiba have their own bed now." When I said that Kiba came out in the same thing as Sasuke except the shirt was white and he had his favourite hoodie.
"Wait, what about Saukra?" he asked
"She's gone. Since you and Sora aren't going out you get a bed to yourselves. It's big enough so you two can get your own sides." That obviously suited him fine since he asked Sora what side she wanted. We all put our phones alarms on early so the boy could get away before the teacher come knocking on our door. When we went to sleep, Sasuke and I got the side away from balcony and Sasuke's chest became my pillow and from what I saw, Temari was wrapped around Shika. I fell into peaceful sleep with Sasuke's heartbeat my lullaby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SASUHINA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I squeezed my eyes and opened them 6 am. I reached over on the bedside table and turned off the phones on it. After that, I put my head back on the comfy pillow. Just when I was on the verge of falling asleep, the pillow moved. Wait, moved? Pushing myself up, I saw Sasuke awake and staring at me with a smirk on his face.
"Morning Sunshine."
"Good morning. You guys have to go if you don't want to get in trouble." He reluctantly pushed himself up. I turned and hit Shikamaru. Temari got up but he stayed asleep. I hit him a pillow but it didn't work. We all got out of bed and Sasuke pulled at sheets, which caused Shika to fall out of bed. But after a minute or 2 and no noise from him except the soft snoring, it told us he was still asleep. Sighing I went and woke up Sora, who might I add was snuggling up to Kiba like a kitten who was asleep next dog.
"You have a brother. Wake Shika up." She went over to Shika and covered his mouth and nose. When he obviously couldn't breathe anymore, Shikamaru eyes popped open and shot up gasping for air.
"What the hell?" he gasped
"Sorry but you have to get a move on." Kiba must have gotten up in the middle of all the craziness since had their bags and was by the door. When they left we fixed the bed and Temari proceeded to question Sora about the snuggling.
"It was nothing."
"So you having Kiba as your foot rest was nothing?"
"I was resting and he came and sat on the chair. He said I was free to put my feet on his lap since his sister dose the same thing."
"Sure. So if we have to pair up with people for the scavenger hunt, will you pair up with Kiba?"
"He was just being nice since I'm new."
"Kiba's never nice to anyone except Saukra."
"Really? I met him, he was really nice."
"Let's just see what happens tonight." Temari said going over to her suitcase. I changed into skinny jeans and a long sleeve orange shirt that said Aero (). Temari had on a long sleeve back hooded shirt under a purple polo, black leggings and a jean skirt and Sora had on a short sleeve grey hooded shirt and grey cargo pants. She had a baseball hat on her head turned backwards. When we were finished changing and were going down for breakfast, Saukra came in with Adio by the hand. When she saw us, she stopped short but Adio smiled and said, "hey Hyuuga, Uchiha here? If not you wanna join me and Saukra for breakfast, if you know what I mean."
"Ew no thanks, I'll stick to eggs and bacon. Come on guys, the boys should be changed by now. Oh and Saukra, do everyone a favour and get the maid to clean and change the sheets when you done." We went to the elevator and when it opened we heard the others coming. Ino had on a white top over a huge blue sweatshirt big enough to be sliding off her shoulder and jeans with a small rip on the left knee. TenTen had on a white top, a soft pink jacket with a purple Chinese symbol on the back and white pants. Kin had on a black tank top and army pants. She also had on Skullcandy headphones. Yaya, a student council member who had blond brown hair that was usually in pigtails and brown eyes, had on a yellow polo and a jean skirt. We all went in and were talking about the scavenger hunt when the door opened and the boys came in. Sasuke had on a white and black long sleeve shirt and black jeans. Shikamaru had on a green button shirt, a black vest and jeans. Naruto had on an orange shirt under an orange and yellow funnel shirt and jeans. Kiba had on grey jeans, a black shirt and a grey hoodie with earplugs attached to it. (There are jackets like that if you already don't know that. I happen to have one). Lee was in a green and orange shirt and slacks. Neij had on a grey jacket and cargo pants and a grey beanie too.Choji had a shirt from his family's bakery, (choji's last name) Snackz, green short sleeve shirt over it and green shorts. He was talking to Kukai, Yaya's boyfriend who was the school soccer star. He also had on a yellow polo and jeans. He had his trade mark green wristband on. Apparently they were talking about good eating habits.
"So I don't have to have a salad everyday?"
"No, that just makes you crave more. Ask Yaya." He said pointing to his girlfriend who glared at him.
"Ha ha." She replied sarcastically.
Finally we reached the lobby and went to the restaurant when a girl with red hair and dark colour eyes with these little glasses came in front of Sasuke who was talking to me. Since he didn't see her until the last second, he almost knocked her down and put his hands on her arm to steady her. "Oh sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"Oh that's quite ok." She had said in such a flirty voice I almost thought she was flirting with him. Oh course I didn't know it until she put her hands on his arms, what I thought was to make sure she was still balanced when she started to rub her hands up and down his arms.
"Wow, you are really buff."
"Um, thanks. Are you ok?"
"I am now. Who are you with?"
"Kohona high. You?"
"Vampirea High."
"I can tell since you latching yourself on to my boyfriend." I muttered under my breath with my head turned to the side.
"What 'cha say Natz?" Sasuke asked
"Nothing!" I said with a fake smile on my face. Kissing his check I said, "We'll meet you in the restaurant kay?"
"No worries, be right there. Sorry again, bye." He side stepped the girl and walked over to me taking my hand. Smiling over my shoulder to the red (literally) head, I saw her with an upset look on her face. God it was like another version of Saukra. After a breakfast of pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, fruit and juice or hot chocolate we all headed to the arcade.
Third person P.O.V
Ino leaned against one of the games that was next to a pinball machine were Sasuke was currently playing a game.
"So Sasuke, what was with the red head? And boy do I mean red head. I though Saukra's hair was weird but wow! That takes the cake."
"You got that right. It looked like she put in way to many streaks. I just bumped into her and she thought I was her sole mate or something."
"Oh my god, did she really say that?" Ino asked popping a piece of gum in her mouth and showed the packet to Sasuke in question. Looking at her and nodding she unwrapped a piece and shoved it his mouth. When he finally got in his mouth he said, "no but she was feeling me up like I was a piece of meat."
"I heard something about 'buff'."
"My muscles." He said with a side shrug
"Ah. You did see that your girlfriend was as my mother would say, green with jealousy." Finally turning his attention to his best friend's girlfriend he said, "Hinata doesn't get jealous."
"Sasuke, perhaps you haven't noticed but Hinata's a little different. She has her hair down now, she doesn't stutter anymore and she's slightly dumping the punk look. No that's a lie, Hinata can never dump the look cause it's one of her best."
Sighing and turning back to his game Sasuke said, "You are crazy."
"Call me what you want but just do know that girl comes near you and openly flirts with you, someone is going to have to hold Hinata back and it's not going to me." She said pointing to herself.
"Again, you're crazy." Hinata came over with a huge smile on her face with Naruto grumbling behind her.
"What you lose this time?" Sasuke said finishing his game and leaning on it staring at his girlfriend and best friend.
"I lost to Hinata in Dance Dance Revolution. Though it was not my fault! It was techno and Hinata's cousin is a girl who can dance to techno."
"You said I could choose the song and I saw C-Bool - House Baby (Verano Remix), so don't yell at me." Hinata said
"How do you remember stuff like that?"
"Hello, cousin to girl who can dance to it."
"Whatever. I bet you can't beat me in a game of Street Fighter."
"You're on. Who wants to watch me and beat ramen boy?"
"I'm not missing this." Ino said.
2 hours later, everyone got changed for skiing. The teachers were having a small class for those who didn't know how to ski and the next day they were going to go over snowboarding. They group was going to help demonstrate how to move and then do a race for the class.
"Ok, the main thing you must do is keep your legs apart and move your hip not your legs. To move from left and right you lean to the sides got it? Hinata and Kin please demonstrate please." The girls skied down a small hill showing the correct movements. For fun when they skid to a stop they sprayed Kakashi-sensei with snow. Everyone was laughing behind their hands as the chemistry teacher glared at the girls who gave him innocent looks.
"Hyuuga, Tsuchi. You're lucky that the only way we can punish you is if we get into fights with any of the other schools."
"But what did we do? We're innocent." They said fluttering their eyelashes sweetly. He just dusted off the snow and told Kiba and Naruto to show what will happen if they did the wrong moves. Going down the same hill, both boys fell and slid towards Kakashi-sensei and knocked him into the snow.
"Inzuka, Uzamaki!"
"Hey, you did tell us to show them what would happen." Naruto said
After all the students tried it they all stood at the sides watching the race between the 'losers'. They were surprised to see Kiba and the new student with them. AT the sound of Asuma's whistle they all shot forward. The same thing accured to them like their race yesterday except Sasuke actually stayed up right but Sora shot in front of him. After the race everyone got to free time and the juniors decided to have an all out snowball fight. Some students from Vampirea High almost reported them when they got snow on them but they threw more snow at them that they joined in. soon it was time for the scavenger hunt. Everyone went into the lobby and waited for instructions. Hinata changed from her outfit from earlier into a red shirt dress lined black, white tights with black bows at the end, black arm warmers that allowed her to put her thumb in a separate hole and black and white boat shoes with red bows on them. In her hair she had a black heart clip and had on a Hyuuga flame necklace around her neck. A man in his twenties and grey hair that was pulled into a ponytail and glasses finally came up to the group of teenagers.
"Hi everyone! My name's Kabuto and I'll be in charge of you guys in a way. So everyone ready for the scavenger hunt?" everyone cheered and clapped in responses. "Great. So pair up! After that line up by the front desk and I'll hand out the first clue. All the other clues will be on one print out so don't take it please. Pair up." Hinata took Sasuke's hand and pulled him towards the front desk. We got our first clue and went to the fountain in the lobby to read it.
'Creatures live in this place, sheltered by the shade of hundreds of trees.
I stay in the center surrounded by these.
Pink petals swirl around me in the nighttime breeze.
Do you know where to find me?'
"What dose this mean? There are no trees here."
"Wait, by the restaurant there was a koi pond with trees by it. On of them was a Sakura tree. Come one." Sasuke pulled his girlfriend to the koi pond. There they found a Sakura tree at one end of the pond. On the trunk was a notice, the next clue.
'You'll be coming here tomorrow for a special event.
The next clue is hidden in a place so obvious,
No one would even think of looking there.'
"Ballroom. The masquerade ball is tomorrow. Where's the ballroom anyway?" they went to the front desk and asked for a map of the hotel. They found the ballroom and headed towards it. They found it and were amazed at the beauty. It was twice the size of the schools gym and had a chandelier and at least 3 balconies. The lights had been dimed a little and they almost didn't see the next clue because of the ambiance. Hinata did a double take when she passed the door.
"Sasuke, look. I found it."
'You're almost there!
This is the last clue.
Go to the place that we fist saw you.
A picture where you have to go through huge gates,
And head towards the clock with a golden face.
Run up the stair case that is hidden
And that's the place where you will find me.'
After leaving the ballroom they looked all over for a picture of a gate where you could see a golden clock tower in the background. They almost gave up until Sasuke looked by the elevators and saw a long poster hanging down. Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw it was the picture.
"Hinata, look. There it is." They moved the poster out of the way to find a door. Opening it they saw it lead upward. They went up but then the door closed. Light came on emulating the path. The higher they went, the colder it got. Hinata was freezing and was about to tell Sasuke when something dropped on her head. Pulling it of, she saw it was Sasuke's shirt. When she turned she was surprised to see that he had another shirt on under it.
"Put it on. I can hear your teeth chattering like crazy." Smiling she did just that. The sleeves were long but it didn't matter. As they continued to climb the stairs Hinata breathed in the smell of Sasuke. He smelt like lotion and mint and a hint of tomatoes. She loved it so much. They finally reached another door and opening it they were surprised to see Neij and TenTen being handed an invitation.
"Hey guys. A few minutes earlier and you would have been the winner." Tenten said. When she saw what was on Hinata she said, "Nice sweater. Raid Sasuke's closet?"
