Four Lost; Two fight
~
Sakura and Ino were still fighting their way out of the smoke. For some
reason, the smoke got thicker and it was harder to get out. They both
coughed and had to lean against each other to walk correctly...
"Saaaakura!" Ino whined, "I think we're going in CIRCLES!"
Sakura rubbed her eyes, which were burning from the smoke. She tried to
look around, but she couldn't see anything past the blur of her eyes
tearing.
"Okay, it's your turn to find a way out so I can—WHOA!"
The two of them fell off a cliff, and right out of the big cloud of smoke.
"Good job, Sakura!" Our favorite blonde haired female shinobi cheered as
she opened her eyes... glossy, red tinted, droopy eyes... but Sakura was on the
ground with swirlies for eyes... kind of like Kenshin Himura would. Ino
staggered over and picked her up with much difficulty.
"ALL RIGHT! I'll take us out of here!" Ino shouted cheerfully, "Since you
got us out of the smoke!" And with that, Ino skipped off merrily with
Sakura's arm over her shoulder... only she didn't really skip because I'd
imagine that would be hard...
~
Meanwhile, It took a few seconds for Naruto's mind to understand he tackled
a stand-in, and not Sasuke. When it finally clicked, he spun around and
dodged the Uchiha's attack. His hand snatched a hold of his ankle and
pulled him down, as his other hand grabbed a kunai and held it to his neck.
With a poof, the restrained boy turned into another chunk of wood and the
real Sasuke came from above, with kunai in hand thrusting down into the
smaller boy.
Blood sprayed onto Sasuke... or at least it would have if he hadn't landed on
the piece of wood he had used against Naruto. Suddenly it made sense...
Naruto had used a doppelganger and made it disappear at the last second.
"Haha!" shouted Naruto as he tackled Sasuke. Sasuke kicked upward into
Naruto's stomach sending him up to meet a tree branch, which he met
painfully and burst into a puff of smoke.
"Another Doppelganger?!" he asked no one in particular. He suddenly felt
something cold to his neck.
"Checkmate," Naruto whispered close to Sasuke's ear, highly amused. Sasuke
smirked.
"I bet you don't even know what that means, dobe," he laughed. Naruto shook
his head.
"I played checkers all the time with Shikamaru," Naruto explained.
"Chess," the Uchiha amended.
"Right..."
...
"Hey Naruto"
"What?"
With a poof of smoke, Sasuke turned into a log and Naruto felt a kunai to
his neck.
"Checkmate," he said with an egotistical laugh. Naruto scowled.
"Not for long!" He said with a grin, which left a look of confusion on
Sasuke's face until Naruto slammed their heads together. Sasuke staggered
away holding his bloody nose in utter pain while Naruto took advantage of
the situation and attacked. With a swift kick he tripped Sasuke and kicked
him square in the stomach, which sent the blonde tumbling in the other
direction.
Sasuke went flying, right in front of Kakashi whom was taking a walk and
hit a tree a mile away. Kakashi stood confused for a moment, wondering if
Sasuke really DID just fly past him or if it was his secret hobby's fault...
and with a shrug he continued on his way to a certain patch of plants.
Naruto laughed notoriously. He had beaten Sasuke!
~
Meanwhile again, Gaara had explored the wrong half of Konoha, and because
of that STILL hadn't found were she lived. Many people had pointed to the
other side of Konoha and told him she lived there, but it would be silly to
walk all the way over there unless he had fully searched the current side
he was on. If he didn't, he'd probably go to the same house twice because
he wasn't keeping track of houses correctly. But if he covered all the
houses on one half, then covered all the houses on the other, He wouldn't
skip a house and wouldn't end up at another twice. It was good logic... to
him at least.
So off to the other side he went... and went from house to house, and they
kept pointing towards her house, yet Gaara insisted on moving onto the next
house. He didn't want to miss a single house!
~
Still carrying Sakura and walking happily, Ino found her self lost
somewhere in the woods. But it was okay! She'd find her way out!
Yessssssiry! Oh wait... She had seen that tree before... Déjà vu... scaaaarey...
Hahaha... erm... so Ino smiled and waved at the tree.
"Hello mister tree!" she shouted with glee, and skipped off again. She
walked and walked until she saw the tree again.
"Hey! I remember you!" she said with a niko niko... she giggled and skipped
off yet again, dragging Sakura. A few minutes later she stopped again to
take in her surroundings. The tree was there again.
"Nice to see you again, Mister tree!" she greeted the tree, with the
cheesiest happy niko face she could muster. She skipped off again, still
looking for a way out. A few minutes later she approached a clearing again
with the same tree.
"AHH! The tree is stalking me!" she yelled, dropping Sakura off of her back
and trying to run off... except she didn't have much luck and tripped. She
sat up with a defeated look on her face.
"Awwwwwww... I'll never get us out of here!" she cried. Looking around, she
noticed someone walking towards her.
"AH! MONSTER!" She screamed.
"Thanks, I feel loved..." a sarcastic voice commented. He walked out of the
shadows and stood in front of her.
"SHIKAMARU!!!" she shouted with glee and hugged him. Shikamaru staggered,
frightened with Ino's antics. He pushed her off.
"Jeez!" he gasped, rubbing his thigh where Ino had huggled him. "Did you
get into Asuma-sensei's stash or what?!"
Ino stared up at him with confusion.
"Hi!" she said, niko-ing again. Shikamaru sighed. What a troublesome girl.
~
Gaara had checked almost all of the houses on the second half... and he
started to approach a giant mansion like Japanese house that had Hyuuga
written all over it, If you know what I mean. He stood outside the door for
five minutes.
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hel-"
"SHUT UP I'M RIGHT HERE!"
Gaara stumbled over as Neji screamed at him.
"Hello..." Gaara said, and grinned sheepishly as Neji glared at him with his
super-evil-I'm-going-to-kill-you-Neji-glare-of-death. Gaara spun around to
show that Hinata was sleeping over his back.
"Does she live here?" He asked. Neji smiled. Now would be the perfect time
to pull a prank as someone he knew would have advised.
"Nope."
Gaara stared.
"But you guys are cousins right? I saw it at the Chuunin exam!" Gaara
argued. Neji shook his head.
"Uh uh, but I know where she lives!" he said, amusement and mischief
written all over his face. Gaara sighed with relief.
"Over there," Neji said as he pointed further away, to a giant house that
had Uchiha written all over it... except not literally. Gaara smiled at Neji.
"Thanks, I was really tired of walking around with her on my back, I had to
ditch my peanut looking gourd just to carry her," he said, as he started
off to the Uchiha manor waving bye to Neji. As soon as Neji knew he was far
away enough, he busted out laughing in a very un-Neji like way and walked
back to the training room. Hanabi greeted him looking at him as if he had
inhaled a drug. But the truth is, he had gotten a contact buzz...
~
Sasuke felt great pain in his back. He rolled away from the cracked tree
and into some leaves, and looked strait up at Naruto. Sasuke winced when he
saw Naruto raise his hand a little but noticed Naruto was extending a hand
for him.
"Hey Sasuke, what were we doing?" the blonde asked. Sasuke opened his mouth
to respond but then paused...
"No clue..." he said confused beyond all possibility as he grabbed a hold of
Naruto's hand and tried to pull himself up. Unfortunately, Naruto had
forgotten he was supposed to be pulling Sasuke up, and when Sasuke pulled,
he toppled right on top of the taller boy.
"ITAI!" shouted Naruto. He spun his head around to yell at Sasuke but
couldn't make a sound other than a whimper as he accidentally planted his
lips right on the lips of the young Uchiha.

Author's note ~ Konnichiwa... I moved the author's note down here so you
wouldn't have to search for where the story begins. I'm surprised, the last
time I posted this fic, my email was overflowing with review notices... this
time I barely got any... however, I asked purrfectly976 to check out this
fic, and she did! ^_^ Thanks purrfectly976, your review made me so happy! I
was worried after rereading the second chapter that I had rushed it, but
when you said I wrote exceptionally well, I was jumping with joy (and I
also had some ego boost!). Yeh, the OOCness was on purpose, because without
it they wouldn't seem high...
Oh and about the Sasuke's Sexy No Jutsu thingy, I haven't played the game
yet, but I know all about that with Sasuke in the game, and I've seen the
picture before, but I noticed something... Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi's Sexy
no Jutsu are all the same, pigtails... yet Konohamaru's was obviously
different... so that's what I had in mind when I did that in the chapter...
Well... I'd like to thank everyone else who reviewed, even if it wasn't much:
Dark Nemesis 7, Kari (yes, original, wasn't it? And thanks for the idea
with Shikamaru, I used it because it helped to draw him into the story the
way I needed him to be, because he has a role... however minor it may be...),
and A guy (well... you weren't really the first, but the first to review the
reposted version!)
P.S. Forgive me if I use an adjective too many times... I'm too lazy to check
to see if I did...
wish his name was as easy to remember as Rumiko Takahashi or Yu watase!
