Me: I am going to KILL YAHOO!!!! *twitches*
Ino: *groans* What now?
Me: *takes a deep breath* All the reviews I've been getting haven't notified me! KEICHI!!!!(Cheap!) *starts to call 411 to find out the number of the creators of Yahoo.*
Ino: You're so... stupid -_-
Me: *drops the phone and coughs* hmm, if I had any strength the reviews would be seeing me strangle my muse...
Ino: *smirks* but you're sick...
Me: *blows nose* NOT FUNNY! *flails arms in anger, then starts to loose balance* Not good.... *eyes waver and she falls back onto bed*
Ino: O.o What am I supposed to do now?
********
"That." My eyes followed Shikamaru's finger to see a large bird with broad wings, floating through the sky. I shuddered and gasped, shaking my head from side to side.
"No. You've got to be kidding me. Are you insane?" He shook his head in response,
"I thought you wanted to win." He added with a raised eyebrow. Who would have thought up a plan like this? Only Shikamaru, I knew that much. But, we were already losing and I really couldn't think of a better plan. I looked up at the bird and Shikamaru caught its shadow, nodding softly.
"Watch my body." I glared at them with narrowed eyes. Shikamaru rolled his eyes. With and deep breath I felt surges of Chakra channeling through me and cast the ninpou shintenshin no jutsu. When I learned this technique, I was originally practicing with animals, but never birds, so getting adjusted to using wings was weird. They move so differently. Swooping down in my new body, I picked up a large amount of shuriken that I threw into the hard stone. It might have been slippery and chakra resistant, but it sure was easy to cut into. Shikamaru once again used his shadow binding so that he could control my now mindless body. Chouji looked upwards and gulped slightly. Since he was the 'heaviest' he went first. They had to get up the wall of rock fast, Shikamaru could hold his binding technique for longer than 5 minutes now, but it would be more strain on him to keep balance. I landed at the top of the cliff and the pressure ate away at me. The shuriken were tightly in, but it couldn't help but think that something would go wrong. In my bird form I squawked and squeaked loudly and I could tell everyone was staring at me. I guess at the time I was cheering so hard I didn't even think about the fact that all that came out of my mouth was the sounds of a bird. I loved this type of drive. I always felt the most comfortable in my team.
When they made it to the top, I sighed inside my head. I couldn't believe that our teamwork finally reformed itself! They were panting heavily and I then cancelled so I could return to my own body. Shikamaru let his binding with a thankful sigh and I punched into the air and yelled at the top of my lungs,
"HELL YEAH! NOW THAT'S THE TEAMWORK I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!" Shikamaru rubbed the back of his neck and I heard Chouji mutter something about steak.
"Hey. Ino... just look around us for a second... Mendokusaina." Shikamaru mumbled. My eyes opened with a snap and I looked around. The majority of all the other teams were already up on the top of the cliff. They all stared at me oddly and unlike Naruto, I realized when I was being way too loud. I felt my cheeks turn red and Shikamaru gave another patented eye- roll. Sakura smirked slightly and stuck her tongue out at me as I shook a fist back at her. Damn, I really hated her sometimes.
"The loser team strikes again." Naruto laughed at us.
"You only got up here before us because of Sasuke-kun's wonderful abilities." Everyone turned towards Sasuke, who I already had my arms wrapped around. Sasuke flinched underneath my hug and I could sense him changing between enragement and irritability. Two things that were more evident on Sakura's part though.
"Do you ever stop...? INO-PIG?" She shook a fist at me.
"This activity is ending in five minutes!" Tsunade appeared out of the blue, everyone blinking to face her. I noticed out of the corner of my eye the other groups slowly approaching. I let my hold slowly loosen until, only my hand was on Sasuke's shoulder. It made me wonder a bit, even though Sasuke didn't act like he wanted the attention, he didn't fight out of the grasp. It almost made me wonder, if he really did like all the attention, but it would ruin his personal image. As time progressed and Tsunade finally noted that everyone was there she spoke up again.
"The winners for this activity were Temari, Kankuro and Gaara." I heard a slight sneer as I turned my head slightly. Coming up from behind me was their group. They had a particular aura about them that was so dominant. Yet, that wasn't the shocking part; the odd part was that the Gaara boy... was smiling. Well, not really smiling, but there was something that changed about him. He was always brooding like Sasuke and Neji, yet, now, he seemed to be lighter. Something about him had changed.
"Now everyone! We all know the childhood game of hide and seek. Well, all of you must hide yourselves well, in the forested area, you will have 4 minutes to hide yourselves and then we will send in a squad of Anbu. Remember, ANBU have specialized abilities to sense chakra and smells, so it's not just about hiding your body. You are allowed to use your abilities on the Anbu, but no attacking. Your team will be disqualified if you reveal the location of others or you kill anyone. You are allowed to change your positions at any time. Last person to be found's team wins, understood?"
Processing the information carefully, I sighed. Atleast that was one of our teams good habits. Hiding. She looked around at the teams and smugly grinned. I don't mean to sound cruel, but she was a hell lot cooler than the old man as a Hokage. She raised her hand and then brought it down the center, signaliong the start of the activity, which at that very second, everyone rushed into the woods. I stood there, blinking momentarily. I didn't know why I was so out of it, but the sun was blazing in my eyes. I shook my head, continually telling myself that everything was fine, but I knew that this was going by too slowly, this wasn't the fun I was planning on.
****** Me: Okay... okay... Again with being slow... I know... I know... but I'm sooo happy!
Ino: *rolls eyes* what is it now?
Me: Episode 132 of Inuyasha finally downloaded!
Ino: What's so special about that?
Me: It's a MAJOR SangoXMiroku episode! ^^ They used to be my favorite pair before shikaino showed up ^^.
Ino: So what happened?
Me: Miroku well... *sticks out tongue* you rolled your eyes at me... so you must not be interested.
Ino: *cries* YOU'RE SOOO MEAN!!!
Me: I try.... Hehehe...
Ino: *groans* What now?
Me: *takes a deep breath* All the reviews I've been getting haven't notified me! KEICHI!!!!(Cheap!) *starts to call 411 to find out the number of the creators of Yahoo.*
