Camp Grounds Bonus Chapter
Let's Play
Everyone had study hall this hour as professor Guy was sick and no one could be the sub.
"This is crap." Sakura said.
"Hey. Let's play Blackjack!" Lee shouts.
"Why would we play that?" Ino asked.
"Because we have nothing else to do." Naruto said.
"I'll play." Choji spoke up.
"What a drag." Shikamaru said.
"I'm in." Naruto said.
"It's stupid. Count me out." Sasuke said.
"I'll play." Tenten said.
"I'm not sure." Ino said.
"I'll play for you." Shino said.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
Ino smiled a little. "Alright."
"How can you let someone play for you?" Tenten asked.
"Cause he's my boyfriend and I don't mind." Ino said.
"In that case! I'll play for Sasuke!" Sakura giggled.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Hell no!" He said and moved to a different table away from everyone.
Sakura frowned and wanted to go sit with him, but his friends showed up so she stayed away.
Ino sighed. Good thing she wasn't like that anymore. She gave up and now she has a genius boyfriend. Someone who isn't Shikamaru or Chijo.
"Let's play then." Naruto said.
So the games began. Ino wanted to see everyone's cards but couldn't see well. She only saw Shino's Tenten's and Choji's. Or half of his anyway.
"Who wants an extra card?" Naruto asked.
No one spoke till Chijo spoke. "I'll take one." Then came the hits.
"Me too." Shikamaru said.
"I'll take one as well." Shino said. Shino had a good number. He had 19 total in his hand. Unless someone had higher then that, Shino had this in the bag.
"What are you kids doing?" Iruka appeared behind them.
"Playing some Blackjack." Naruto said. "And I'm gonna win." He said. His goofy grin made Ino roll her eyes. "And were good, let's see'em." He said.
Sakura had the lowest number.
Tenten was just under Shino, and Shikamaru had total 21. So he won. Naruto lost as he had 27.
"Naruto, you aren't great when it comes to card games. Not even Go Fish is your game." Iruka said.
Ino and Sakura laughed. "Let them have their fun Iruka sensei. I mean, they aren't betting money or anything." Ino said.
The boys looked to each other odd like. Iruka raised a brow at the group before sighing. "Alright. Just keep it down." He said and walked on.
"You guys better not be actually betting here. Or else your in deep trouble." Ino said to the guys knowthing her two friends very well, and also Naruto.
"No way. We wouldn't do that. Come on. What do you take us for?" Naruto said.
"Yes. That's ridiculous for sure. If we were to bet something, it be something in our lunch boxes." Choji joked.
"Or who would do the others homework." Shikamaru said.
"You three are crazy." Shino said.
"Come on. How bad can it be?" Sakura said.
"I'm up for a bet." Tenten said.
"Really? And what would you be betting?" Naruto laughed.
"A challenge." Tenten said.
Everyone went silent as she said it. But Ino was confused. "What does that mean?" She asked.
"Winner get's to have all the losers, do something or anything, they want or can make them. Example. If I won, I'd make Choji give up on chips for a full 24 hours, Shikamaru has to take a girl on a date, Sakura can't say Sasuke's name for a full week, and so on." Tenten said.
Everyone looked to one another. It was better then TV.
Ino wrote something out on a piece of paper and tossed it in the center of the table. "The winner get's the jackpot. And you can't read what it is, till you win first." She said.
Shino didn't understand what it was, but Ino's grin gave him a hint at what it could be.
"Deal." Lee and Naruto said.
"Count me out of this." Sakura said tossing her cards.
"I'm good." Shikamaru said. "Me too. Let's win this game." Choji said looking determined to win. Or think he is going to anyway.
The game lasted for an hour surprisingly. No one wanted to show their cards at all. They stared at each other in silence which drove Sakura and Ino insane.
"Come on you guys. Just show your cards." Sakura said.
"Yeah. This is getting a little-"
"How goes the game?" Iruka returned and Sasuke was behind him.
"Ha! I win!" Naruto shouted placing his cards down.
"How in the world?" Everyone was shocked. He reached 21. Ino was surprised and hated the idea of how he'd handle what the prize was.
"Man. This sucks." Choji said.
Shikamaru agreed.
"Hold on. Draw." Shino said. He also had 21 and so did Tenten.
"How in the-"
"Three way tie. Too bad Naruto. Close one. At least you made it to 21." Iruka said.
Tenten reached for the center where the paper was, but once she read it. "No thanks! I don't want that!" She said handing it to Shino.
"What was it? What IS it?" Naruto said.
It was exactly what Shino thought it was. "A date with Ino. And the winner, has to pay." Shino said. It didn't say that last part, but Ino wasn't going to correct him.
Naruto made a face said some words, and then Tenten, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata all taught him a lesson.
"And this is why, I don't play." Sasuke said.
Shino held Ino's hand before the bell rang again for them to get to class. "See you tonight." She said.
Shino nodded, gave her a light kiss on the cheek and they went to class.
The End
