Chapter 13: The Plan

The next day at dawn, the group hiked down a shorter trail that only took two hours which caused Naruto to get pissed and to start to yell at Kakashi. Everyone attempted to ignore the loud noise of the hyperactive teenager even though that was quite challenging.

"You made us climb up a mountain for five fucking hours and now we're traveling down a two hour long path that we could've taken in the first place?!" Naruto yelled.

"God damn it Naruto, shut the hell up!" Kakashi yelled while pushing him down the rocky hill. Naruto summersaulted down the hill with a loud yell, but it slowly faded as he kept speeding forward.

"N-Naruto!" Hinata exclaimed with worry.

"He'll be fine." Kakashi replied with a smile to dissolve her worry back in its box.

"God, I'm freezing!" Kiba complained beside her to break her focus on Naruto for good.

"A-Ano...how is your thumb Kiba-san?" she asked.

"It's fine, but I'm afraid it will fall off from frostbite in this cold. Hopefully it will be warmer back at base." he grinned.

Hinata smiled and nodded before looking towards her other side since someone came up beside her. Sasuke walked without any expression in his face even though his nose was turning red from the cold. He must've been trying to ignore it.

"A-Aren't you cold Sasuke?" Hinata asked nervously while eyeing him to watch his movements. She may have accepted his truce, but that doesn't mean she couldn't still be wary.

"I'm fine, the cold isn't bothering me." he replied without sparing her a glance.

Sakura's evil smirk faded as she noticed that Sasuke wasn't going to push Hinata into one of the bordering trees or down the hill to share the same fate as Naruto. She actually was noticing actual small talk between them instead of insults. Something wasn't right and it was making her angry that Hinata maybe trying to take away her man. She saw her followers too busy flirting with another guy in the group to help her out so she would just have to go in on her own.

"Oh Sasuke-kun!" she grinned while coming up beside him and cuddling with his arm. "I'm cold and tired, can you carry me the rest of the way there?"

"The mountain is too steep for me to carry you." he spoke while glancing over to her.

Sakura batted her eye lashes with a pout on her lips. "Please Sasuke-kun."

"No." he replied while looking at her this time.

Her eyes averted from his slightly glaring ones before she slipped under his arm for warmth. She glanced over to Hinata to see the reation, but Hinata had completely ignored the whole scene by talking to Kiba again. Her teeth clenched, but she continued to stay under Sasuke's arm for warmth since she was now becoming a bit cold.

"Oh, so you didn't beat us down the mountain Naruto? I think I should push you again." Kakashi threatened towards the boy who was dizzy and upside down against a large boulder.

"You...bastard..." he spoke in a tired voice.

Back at base camp, Sakura found Ino talking with Karin near the cabin, another girl in the group of followers with Sakura. Karin had red hair with black eyes, but didn't wear any pink on the trip being that all of it wasn't worth ruining on the trip.

"Ino, we have to invoke the plan against the Hyuuga tonight. Sasuke was actually being nice to her!" Sakura exclaimed angrily while crossing her arms her chest. "That bitch is trying to steal away my man!"

"Well, we can't let that just slip by now can we?" Ino smiled devilishly.

"Hinata isn't going to be able to show her face again to the world after we're done with her tonight. Do you have it?" Sakura asked with an evil smile as well.

"Yeah, but a lot of them died because of the cold, but there's enough."

"Good, slide them into the shower while Hinata is in it. She'll scream and run outside which will be the end of her little reputation."

Yeah, I know it's a pretty short chapter, but suck it up. Next update should be today if I feel like typing anymore.
