Chapter Six: Change of Plans

The forest was as dark as a cave; there was no light except the torch the blonde guy was holding. The trees were blocking the light's moon and even the tiny stars cannot be seen from their position. Everything around them is noiseless that only their footsteps can be heard.

"Aren't we going to take a rest yet?" said Uzumaki Naruto wryly.

"Shhh...Keep your voice down will ya?" Haruno Sakura said, giving Naruto a hush sign.

Naruto raised the torch higher.

"I'm tired. And we might lost the track if we continue." Naruto said.

Sakura was half convinced and looked at Sasuke.

"What do you think Sasuke?" she asked.

Sasuke looked at her as though he doesn't feel like replying in her question.

"Let's stop here, I'm sure we are already far from Konoha." He said in a whisper.

Naruto quickly laid down on the ground and put out a blue sleeping bag and immediately fell asleep without talking.

"He was really dead tired, I suppose." Sakura said as she sat beside Naruto.

Sasuke went to a huge tree and sat on its branches. There he can see hundreds of trees but no sign of Konoha. He could even see the moon shining so brightly above them. But the thick leaves prevent it to pass through.

He sighed and looked above. He focused on the moon and suddenly yawned.

-------

A blonde girl was sitting on her comfortable bed. She was staring at the moon. She doesn't feel like sleeping yet though her eyes are already closing. She was half worried. She was worried about a certain someone.

"Should I forget him? I should be...cause Hel-lo Ino you've heard what he just said!" she told herself. "Wake up! Stop fooling yourself! And you've done enough, he's just laughing at you!!!"

And then a memory that she was trying to forget as quickly as possible started to play on her head.

FLASHBACK:

"So what did you and Ino planned?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke's serious face smiled.

"Huh...she thought I asked her out. What an idiot!" he said.

"She said that?" Sakura exclaimed in disbelief.

Sakura was shocked...she can't help but laughed. Ino felt her cheeks turned red in humiliation.

"I heard that Ino-pig gave you a present." Sakura said stopping herself from laughing.

"Yeah she did." Sasuke replied wryly.

"May I see it?" Sakura asked, looking at Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke paused for a second and frowned.

"I...I threw it away." He said.

Ino's eyes widened. Her humiliation was gone but this time she felt hurt and sadness. She felt her vision become fuzzy...tears began to fall from her eyes. She can't control the tears...it were as if has its own feelings.

"I only wear presents of the one I truly love." Sasuke declared.

END OF FLASHBACK!!!

"Yeah right...I'm an idiot to think that he had asked me out." She told herself. "I bet he was already wearing Sakura's gifts to him and both of them are laughing at me..."

Shikamaru suddenly appeared on Ino's mind. Their kiss was something she can't tend to forget. Though she acts as if nothing had just happened. For her it was nothing but then how come she's feeling like liking Shikamaru than Sasuke?

"Grrr...get off my head you lamebrain!" Ino said as she slammed her pillow on her face. "It can't be...he's just a...a friend to me!!!"

-------

A new day in Konoha, and yet people in the Academy were panicking.

"We have to send a student to tell them." Iruka said.

"I volunteer my student Lee." Gai said.

"Yeah. We shouldn't waste any minute. They could be far from here already." Jiraiya said.

"Call Rock Lee, Sir Gai." The Third Hokage commanded. "It is decided then...we will send him to tell the plan."

-------

Shikamaru and Ino were walking in the alley. They don't seem to notice that they were holding each other's hand. Shikamaru, who was usually sleeping at this time, was full of energy.

The two looked like a couple to everyone they meet. Even to Lee.

"Ehy, Ino!" Lee called.

"Huh?" Ino said as she turned around.

Shikamaru removed his hand from hers.

"Hahahaha...you two a couple?" Lee teased.

Ino blushed and shook her head.

"I just want to tell you that Sasuke was in danger." Lee said. "Sir Gai told me. And I'm going to follow them in the forest to tell them the new plan."

"WHAT? DANGER?" Ino shouted. "Can I go with you Lee?"

Lee smiled as he scratched his head.

"Sorry Ino." Lee said. "But you just can't. See ya then..got to go!!!"

Ino felt worried after hearing this news. What is she going to do? Sasuke was in danger she can't just wait for Lee to return and break the news that the guy he loved since was already dead.

"We got to do something Shikamaru!" Ino said.

"But how?" Shikamaru asked. "Didn't you hear Lee? We can't."

"I will do something to just get in there." Ino declared.

Shikamaru shook his head and frowned.

"What a troublesome..." he thought.

-------

Hinata was in the Ramen Shop. She was eating with Kiba and Shino until Lee came in.

"Hello." Lee greeted.

"Hi." Hinata greeted back.

"Do you guys know the news already?" Lee asked.

"What news?" Shino asked.

"Team 7 was in danger and I am going to follow them to tell them the new plan."

Hinata jumped from her chair.

"Naruto's in danger?" Hinata inquired, getting worried. "I'll go with you Lee."

"No. Sorry Hinata." Lee said. "But you can't."

"But..." Hinata muttered.

"Got to go now. I need to hurry." Lee said boldly.

"Naruto..." Hinata muttered.

-------

In the forest was Team 7. They haven't stop from walking since dawn. Naruto was already starving.

"Aren't we going to stop and take a rest?" Naruto said. "I'm tired! We haven't eaten breakfast yet."

"Oh come on Naruto. This is not the time to think about food." Sakura told him. "We're in a mission can't you see?"

"Yeah we are. But how am I going to finish this mission if I don't have any energy anymore?"

"Shut up idiot." Sasuke said. "Who is not hungry and tired? You're not the only one."

Naruto sighed.

They contnue walking. And then Naruto saw a banana tree.

"WHA..." Naruto shouted. "FOOD!"

Sakura and Sasuke turned around as Naruto climber the tree in such a speed.

He picked a dozen of bananas and went down the tree eating them continuously.

"Aren't you going to give us some?" Sakura asked.

Naruto frowned and shook his head.

"Why should I? You made me tired and didn't even bother to give me a rest." Naruto said.

"Damn you Naruto!" Sakura shouted as she chase Naruto around and forced him to give her some.

"Leave me alone!!!" Naruto shouted as he hurriedly hid behind Sasuke.

-------

Lee was carrying a scroll with him as he made his way in the forest. He was jumping to every branch in such a speed.

"I could make it in no time." He muttered.

-------

Ino , Shikamaru and Chouji were at the very entrance of the forest.

"So let's do it then." Ino said.

"Ooooppss..." said Chouji. "I...I think...I...I can't go...with you guys!!! "

"What?" Ino asked.

"I need to go to the bathroom." Chouji shouted and run back home.

"What a trohblesome..." Shikamaru muttered.

"Damn it." Ino said. "That leaves the two of us."

"Ehy, I'm coming too." A soft voice, coming from the bushes said. "Count me in."

It was Hinata.

"Oh." Ino said in surprise. "Hinata."

"Yeah." She said.

"You're worried too eh?" Shikamaru asked.

Hinata nodded bashfully.

"Let's go then." Ino said.
