"Well, there's no need to worry. The doctor said Naruto just has a minor head injury and he should just relax." Iruka explained to the worried students. "Riya, I thought you said the water caverns were safe."
"They are! All of them are perfectly safe except the Northeast one…" Riya trailed off. Brooke snickered at the guilty expression on Riya's face.
"What did you do?" Paige sighed.
"How was I supposed to know Blondie was going to fall in the trap I had made for Commando?" Riya shouted as Brooke fell to her knees in a fit of giggles.
"Oh, so you thought I was going to fall for a pit trap?" Paige asked.
"No, I thought I would show you around the Northeast water cavern and Commando would spot the pit trap and push Lieutenant in and we would all laugh!"
"That would've been hilarious!" Brooke gasped "But this is much more entertaining!"
Snickers erupted from the room next door as Sasuke opened the door. "Naruto, also finds your little trick amusing, but that can probably be traced back to the amount of brain cells he lost and the amount he had to begin with."
"Hey!" Naruto protested.
"Shut up, Naruto, you could have been seriously hurt; it isn't a laughing matter." Sasuke argued.
"I'm truly sorry about that." Riya apologized. "Why don't you two head over to the springs to relax, ummm, just stay on the path…"
"More traps I'm guessing?" Paige asked.
"You could say that, yea."
O0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Sasuke, you need to lighten pit was just a failed attempt at a joke between friends. I'm perfectly fine." Naruto joked as he strolled next to the brooding Sasuke.
"Naruto, you were not responding. You were not fine,and I'm surprised that you are actually able to walk by yourself right now."
"Yep,just a little sore, but I'm sure the springs will fix that, nehh Sasuke?" Naruto nudged his companion with his elbow, trying to lighten the mood. "Hey, hey I'll race you!"
"The doctor said you should relax, not race the fastest sprinter in our school."
"Aww is wittle Sasu-chan afraid he's going to lose?"
"Sasu-chan?"
"Well yea, since you gave me a stupid nickname, you should get one too!"
"As I recall, I am not allowed to call you Naru-chan." Sasuke smirked.
"How 'bout whoever wins decides the nicknames?"
Sasuke thought about the possibilities of Naruto winning. Not only was Sasuke faster, but Naruto probably couldn't go his top speed at the moment anyway, there was no possible way he could lose. "You're on." Sasuke smirked inwardly.
"Alright!" Naruto cheered. "Ok, 321 Go!" Naruto spat out as she shoved Sasuke of the path and shot away towards the spring. Sasuke foot landed off the worn path and sunk deep into a pile of mud. Trying to yank his foot out of the mud, Sasuke became unbalanced and moved his other foot back to catch himself. 'Shit.'
Laughter erupted behind Sasuke, but he couldn't tell the source, "Well I guess you really are a stick in the mud!" Riya joked.
"Very funny, can you help me out? How did you make the mud sticky?"
"Pranksters never give out trademark tricks! And I thought Naruto would have a problem following my warning, but here you are." Sasuke growled, but Riya continued to laugh. "Wait, wait… damn I should have thought of more puns. Fine, I'll help you out."
O0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Sasu, what took you so long?" Naruto laughed as he relaxed in the spring.
"Yea, well your stunt at the beginning of the race caused quite a bit of trouble." Sasuke growled.
"Aww, is Sasu mad that he lost?" Naruto laughed. "Ok since you're a sore loser I'll make you a deal. Naruto hopped out of the spring and walked over to where Sasuke stood. "I'll call you Sasu, and you can call me Naru, but we won't use the girly honorifics."
A blush began to form on Sasuke's cheeks as the object of his affections continued to step closer towards him in nothing but the towel he had wrapped himself around as soon as he hopped out.
"Sasu? You aren't looking to good, are you coming down with something?" Naruto reached out to touch Sasuke's forehead.
Crash!
Sasuke whipped around at the offending noise while protectively moving Naruto behind him. "Maybe we should go see what that was." Naruto suggested.
They both crept around the corner to see Riya sprawled across the floor, surrounded in blood, and holding her nose. "Ha ha, nothing to see here!" She laughed sheepishly. "I just… walked into a wall… at top speed! And… hurt my nose! Ow! And it started bleeding because it's hurt! Yea, it really hurts. Don't worry! Go back to what you were doing! See it stopped bleeding already!" Shaking her hands frantically to show the bleeding had stopped.
"Umm… Ok?" Naruto wasn't sure how to reply so he just walked back in to the spring with Sasuke in tow.

Later that evening!
"Please tell me you got pictures!" Brooke pleaded.
"How was I supposed to get pictures? I passed out!" Riya shouted.
"Way to go Nosebleed-kun, we should just call you Sanji!"
"Hey, Sanji's pretty cool!"
"No he isn't!" Paige and Brooke shouted in unison. "No use in arguing about it now, so lets just calm down so we can enjoy watching the others spill their secrets."
"Yay, Circle Time!" Riya shouted. (A/N … I'm sorry Riya, I'm so out of it, so I can't remember what you actually call it and neither can Paige…sorry)
The trio walked into the large dining area where the rest of the teenagers and chaperones lounged. "Ok, so there are cups on the tables, take one and teachers take as much as you want as long as you don't get alcohol poisoning!" Riya began. "Girls can follow me back to our room. Boys, I don't care what you do, but make sure you're in your rooms by midnight."
"So we are all going to go up to the big room, and we are going to go around the circle telling secrets until everybody falls asleep. Basically you either want to stay up the longest so you know the most secrets or you want to fall asleep first so you don't share as many secrets, but everybody has to share at least one. For one full rotation of secrets the secret severity increases." Riya explained.
"What does that mean?" Ino asked.
"It means sit down, shut up, and tell secrets!" Riya giggled. "Say if the first round you say you have a crush on someone. Then the next round you have to reveal either who it is or just another secret that is more difficult to share."
"Ok, I'll start!" Brooke cheered. "I once walked into the boys bathroom. (A/N… True Story) so Paige."
"I have alter ego named Hag Mom*." Paige stated calmly while the others in the room looked utterly confused.
"That's not a secret!" Riya protested.
"Grah, GRAH, BRAH, ahhrrah!" Paige shouted at Riya.
"Fine! IT'S A SECRET!" Riya gasped between laughs. "Not a very good one, but let's continue. Temari, it's your turn!"

With Naruto, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kankuro, Lee, and Sasuke.
"So what do you think the girls are up to?" Naruto asked.
"Probably… painting each other'ssss toenailsss, or some others girly shit." Kiba slurred. They all were trying to make it back to their rooms with out Zabuza seeing Kiba. Although Kiba had only had one drink, it seemed like he had fifty.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Naruto exclaimed as Kiba tripped in the hall and caused a domino effect with of all the others.
"NO ONE ASKED YOUR OPINION, PILLOW!" Kiba bellowed at the pile of bodies beneath him.
"We need to get Kiba out of here before he wakes up the entire building." Chouji stated, trying to stand.
"No shit Sherlock, but Kiba managed to dog pile all of us!" Naruto yelled in frustration. The others began to snicker. "Don't laugh, pun not intended! Just whoever is right under Kiba, just shove his ass off."
"Or maybe they're singing annoying songs like that one," Kiba continued to ramble. "You know: Some nights I wake up, I can't find my makeup! Yea, totally, singing." Kiba sung completely off key.
"Oi Kibbles, who sings that?" Naruto asked.
"I think its Fun." Lee replied.
"Hmm, ok cool let them sing it, and you stick with what you're good with, screwing up." Naruto hissed. "So is anyone standing yet?"
"Yea, I never went down." Shikamaru replied.
"What the hell Shikamaru, why are you letting Kiba torture us?" They all shouted, or at least something along those lines.
"It was too troublesome to help you guys out." Shikaru replied coolly. "Besides, it's hilarious to watch you all squirm."
"When I get out of this, you're dead Nara." Sasuke growled.
"Fine I'll help." Shikamaru grabbed Kiba's arm and pulled him up. He stood him against the wall as everyone else stood up. "So who wants to carry Kiba to his room?"
"I accept the challenge!" Lee declared. "I will make best of my youth and carry my friends to their rooms!" Lee threw Kiba over his shoulders and raced towards Shikamaru.
"That won't be necessary Lee, you only need to carry Kiba." Shikamaru strolled along to the front of the group, "Where's your brother?"
"Gaara doesn't sleep, so he's taking a walk. I think Neji went with him." Kankuro shrugged. "I guess I'll see you all in the morning."
The boys said their goodnights and went into their assigned rooms.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Do you think we should go find Gaara and Neji?" Naruto asked.
"They can take care of themselves." Sasuke replied.
"Yea, They are supposed to be in their rooms by midnight. What if Zabuza catches them and they get in trouble? What if they have a fight or something and one falls into a trap off the path? Then how are they supposed to get back, and it's really dark out there. And what if a UFO comes out of nowhere and abducts them, they could be in another galaxy by now, or what if-"
Sasuke stopped Naruto on his tangent. "I'm sure Gaara and Neji can handle the traps and I doubt UFOs would abduct people. If aliens had the technology to fly to other planets why would they be interested in abducting humans? They would either be diplomatic or combative and either way Gaara and Neji wouldn't stand a chance."
"IS THAT SUPPORSED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto, the doctor said you should be relaxing, what would Gaara do if you went out there looking for them and you got hurt again?"
"Get really angry." Naruto huffed.
"So Gaara does not want you out looking for him, just go to bed." Sasuke stated.
"So you should go look for him!"
"And why would I do that?"
"Because I'm really worried, and if you don't, then I will. Which means Gaara will get mad at you for allowing me to do something so dangerous." Naruto smirked. "So would you please go look for them, Sasu?" Naruto batted his eyes and pouted his lips in the over exaggerated puppy dog face.
"Puppy dog faces don't work on me."
"Well darn, that's too bad for you, because I was just trying to distract you." Naruto drew back his lip but leapt towards the door. Sasuke rushed in front of Naruto and slammed the door closed. "Damn it Sasu! I just need to make sure Gaara and Neji make it back ok." Naruto slammed his fists against Sasuke's chest.
"No. Go to bed."
Naruto tried to reach around Sasuke to open the door, but Sasuke caught his wrist and brought him closer. "Please go back to bed, Naruto."
"Please, go look for them."
Who was Sasuke kidding he couldn't say no to Naruto, "Fine, but you better be asleep when I get back."
"How am I supposed to go to sleep if I'm worrying about Gaara and Neji and now you too?" Naruto asked.
"Then just try to relax, please just go lay down, Naruto. I will find them, you won't have to worry." Sasuke released Naruto's wrist and left the room. Naruto waited for five seconds before reaching for the door knob, which turned as soon as Naruto touched it.
"What the hell!" Naruto jumped away from the door knob.
"So you weren't going to bed, even though I went looking for them?" Sasuke smirked at Naruto.
"You didn't even look!" Naruto shouted.
"No they were just going into their room when I left, see? Gaara come say goodnight to Naruto, so he can go to sleep."
Gaara appeared in the door way, "Go to bed, Naruto."
"Ok good night Gaara!" Naruto cheered as he raced back into his room and jumped into bed.
"Why do you listen to him?" Sasuke complained as he closed the door.

Ok I'm going to end the chapter there! So I have a question for all of you and then I'm going to tell you the story of Hag Mom.
Question: Would any of you care if I got rid of the KakaIru pairing? Because the truth is I never really liked that pairing, but I felt the need to put Kakashi with someone. Your opinion matters! 3 options: Kakashi stays with Iruka, Kakashi doesn't have a pairing, or you give a suggestion of your own please leave a review or send me a pm!
Story: My friends, Mina and Riya were sleeping over and I was explaining to Mina why one of my favorite characters to write was Mikoto, Sasuke's mom. I really like writing for her because her character isn't really developed in the manga or anime, so you can just put your own spin on her. Paige said, "Many people use different personalities for her so sometimes she is the happy-go-lucky mom or she can be a hag mom." And Mina didn't understand what Paige meant by hag mom so she tried to explain it but this is what she said, "A hag mom is like grah GRAH BRAH argghhrah," Basically just a bunch of loud noises and waved her hands around wildly. We all had a good laugh and we continued talking, but later that evening, I was hogging the sour patch kids. And Paige was like, "Pass me some sour patch kids… Pass me some sour patch kids… Pass me some sour patch kids… PASS ME SOME SOUR PATCH KIDS GRAH BRAH ARRGHH!" And Mina yelled out, "Paige has turned into Hag Mom!" And that has become a running joke. Like during Halloween before we went trick or treating I was giving candy out the door at Mina's house and some teenager's came up and they weren't in costume so I wouldn't give them any, but the got really annoying so I gave them each one piece, but one asked, "Can I have more than one?" And I was already super pissed, and tried to reply really calmly with "NO." He ran off and Mina came up behind me and was like, "Oh no everybody, Brooke turned Hag Mom on us." So yep!
Hopefully you enjoy the chapter! Sorry it took so long!
Paige: And the part up there with Kiba singing is Some Nights by Fun, but with a twist. Because that is what happens when I get a song stuck in my brother's head but he doesn't know the words.
