Hidden Affections of the Amazing Race
Phase 5: Arrival, Lost, and Elimination
In front of Inari's House
1:05 pm
Naruto didn't know what happened. He saw a figure in the background; Naruto went back on alert as he went into a stance. It was none other then Shino. He had knocked him unconscious.
"Why...?" Naruto questioned.
"He hit my former teammate? What else was I supposed to do, sit there and watch both of you die? Don't worry about it..." Shino said as he picked up his body and threw it on the grass.
"Leave now before he awakes..." Shino suggested as he went to get the envelope that Hinata had dropped and handed it to Naruto.
"Kay, Arigatou Shino!" Naruto said as he opened the envelope to read what it said.
(1 hour before shoot)
"Head to the Gato Headquarters, for this legs pit stop. Follow the coloured flags behind Inari's house to reach the destination," Tsunade spoke.
Naruto picked up Hinata's pretty much battered up body and carried it like Neji did, bridal style to the pit stop.
"Aye, thanks Shino! Later!" Naruto said while noticing he couldn't wave back to Shino so he started swaying his head left and right.
'What the hell is that supposed to mean?' Shino thought as he cupped his chin, cocked his head to the side and looking at the bobble-head go.
Path to Inari's House...Again.
1:10pm
Sasuke and Sakura walked side by side...not really looking where they were going. They had gotten used to getting to Inari's house from basically any direction from the whole time that they were at their house because of the missions they had in the Hidden mist village. They walked...they walked...and they walked some more. Pretty silent walk, they could even hear Neji and Tenten following them.
Neji and Tenten ran from 1 bush, to another hoping that they didn't see them.

Walking and restaurant
1:14pm
Chouji and Lee dragged one foot after the other. Lee hadn't eaten anything for a day. Chouji was worse. Half a day without chips, his stomach was already wrinkly from starvation. As if it couldn't get any worse for both of them, it started to rain. It wasn't soon after they were drenched in water and headed to the nearest shelter; which happened to be a restaurant. Once they entered they helped themselves to a spot at the back of the restaurant.
"Ah, time to eat!" Chouji said while flailing his arms in the hair trying to get the waiters attention.
"Hello, what would you like?" The man said as he flipped over his pad of paper and brought out a pen ready to take orders.
"Well take everything on these 3 pages!" Chouji replied and smiled.
"All 137 items?" The waiter's eyes grew when he heard the order.
"HAI! Right away!" He rushed to give the orders immediately.
"Can we really afford all items, we only have like $925 from all of those chips that you purchased" Lee asked as he looked at Chouji to see him nod.
After he asked that food came, after every 10 seconds more platters would come...and come. Lee took simple short nibbles cause he didn't want to get a stomachache from eating too fast. Chouji on the other hand started eating the food without even chewing on it. He merely swallowed the whole thing. Lee gazed at him in amazement. He thought that eating the food whole was incredible so he decided to give it a go.
Lee opened his mouth big and shoved a spring roll down his throat. It didn't go down well. He started hacking, coughing and choking while grasping a cup of water and starting pouring it down his throat. He cleared his throat and started tapping on his chest to make it go down but it was lodged in his throat still. He flailed his arm in the air and asked for water...a lot of water. The man brought a large pitcher of water, as Lee grabbed it from his hands and started throwing it down his throat. The vast amount of water helped the spring roll soften and slowly went down.
"That's better..." Lee hesitated and sat down, preparing to eat another one of those deadly spring rolls. He wasn't going to do what he did last time...he actually chewed the next time. Out of the 137 items, Chouji finished 122 Lee had finished 15. Billing time was terrible. The man walked to the two and slammed the bill down to the table making the whole place shake.
"That shall be $934.81, " The man said as he smiled.
"Chouji...this isn't good. We only have 927.12" Lee remarked as he looked at a very bloated Chouji
"WHAT!!! You're going to have to wash dishes for me, since its 7 dollars an hour. You'll both need to work 1 hour each..." The man screamed and dragged both of them by the collar and threw them into the kitchen.
"Now, CLEAN!" The man scolded them and threw damp towels on their faces and headed out the door.
"This sucks," Lee said as he started wiping the clean dishes. Chouji washed them as Lee also said, "we're going to be the last team for sure!"
Chouji scanned the kitchen for an exit, a second exit. He found one, it was far away, and they could see them for sure, but it was worth a try.
"This way Lee!" Chouji whispered while looking both directions to see if that old man was still there. No one. Lee began tiptoeing to the door. As they were about to exit, something caught the sight of Chouji. Yes, you guessed it, it was his favourite breakfast, brunch, lunch, teatime, pre-dinner, dinner, after-dinner, dessert, before-go-to-sleep, sleep, food of choice! Lee had safely made his way out of the door and turned his head around to see a missing Chouji.
'.................................He's hungry again?' Lee thought as he crossed his arms and started tapping his foot on the rough surface of the ground. Chouji traveled stealth style to get to the box of chips. As Chouji got closer to the box, the box got further. He ran towards it. The box got further...and further...and further. He took a giant leap to grab it, but slammed his head into a blob of meat. Well...at least that's what Chouji thought. He raised his head up too see who it was. It was none other then the manager glaring at a hungry Chouji.
"GET BACK TO W-WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The old man said while pointing in the direction of the kitchen. Chouji pouted and went back to washing the dishes. Lee tilted his head, crossed his arms and stared at him in disbelief.
"You just haaaad to go back for food," Lee nagged Chouji to death while he just stared into space thinking about all of the possibilities he could do with the bag of chips by the counter. After 5 minutes of pointless staring, Chouji shook his head and looked at Lee, "...what? Were you saying something?" Lee collapsed as a ring of dust covered his body.
"...Stop thinking about food!" Lee shouted as he got up and wiped the dust off that was all over him.
"Whatever..." Chouji commented as he signaled Lee to go through the back door and exit the restaurant. The manager opened the door to see Chouji just leaving the door.
"...What the? GET BACK HERE, BOTH OF YOU!" He yelled while chasing after the !" Lee said as he turned around to look at chouji but he was gone. He scanned the street. Chouji stood by the glass frame drooling at the many assortments of chips. He grabbed his arm and started dragging Chouji away.
"Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!" The man yelled as he shook his fist at the runaway pair and stomped the ground like a rhinoceros while snorting every few seconds.
Inari's House and somewhere...out of, no where...or path to the Pitstop
1:25pm
Shino sat there, waited. Two teams had past him as he waited for his unconscious teammate to wake up. It was going nowhere, he wasn't going to wake up for another few several minutes...let alone hours. He grabbed a pail and walked to the hose. He thought throwing cold water on Kiba would work. Shino drained the water out of the hose as a light tap was felt on his shoulder. He turned around with the hose still in his hand as he looked at the person, forgetting the hose was still on. Sploosh, splash, drip was all that was heard.
"S-S-S-S-S-Shino...." Kiba clenched his fists as he gritted his teeth.
"Oh...sorry...sorry...I thought I should have woken you up, on the count of four teams have passed us (not counting NaruHina)." Shino replied as he turned of the hose and emptied the bucket of water.
"WHAT? Who passed us?" Kiba asked as he went to get his bag.
'I shouldn't say Naruto and Hinata...he'll go crazy.' "Uhh... Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, Ino, Gaara Temari." Shino remarked as he got his bag that Kiba threw at him and opened the envelope.
"Let's get going then." Kiba mumbled as he started walking. Shino nodded in a reply and followed him eagerly.
'...I'll see you soon, Hinata-chan' Kiba thought to himself as he smirked. Thinking about how he would do to her, more the less Naruto when he saw either of him.

Pit stop- Leg 1
1:36 pm
Naruto walked as he saw followed the orange marks up hills, down hills and through trees to see a building with a moat around the building. He saw a woman with blonde hair.
'Tsunade...' Naruto thought as he ran towards her and stood on the platform.
"Welcome to the Gato Headquarters." An old woman said as she bowed Naruto.
"Naruto and Hinata............you're team number one." Tsunade said as she was about to continue but was silenced by Naruto jumping up and down!.
"Yippie!" Naruto cheered on as he smiled but then looked at Hinata who was still pretty much dead and asleep.
"Naruto, as the winner of this leg of the race...you win a 4 nights stay at Tanzaku City, which you can enjoy after the race courtesy of KonohaTravels, " Tsunade said as he saw two other teams race down a hill.
"Hurry Shikamaru!" Ino said as she threw him down the hill while sprinting down it.
"C'mon Neji! We can't loose" Tenten yelled as she maximized her speed to the fastest that she could run. Shikamaru just looked at the clouds as he was in midair being thrown down the hill. As he was just about to hit the ground Shikamaru was kicked up to the sky again and was floating in midair...again. This time however Shikamaru landed on the platform and Ino beat both Neji and Tenten by .001 seconds to the platform.
"Sorry Neji and Tenten. Shikamaru and Ino got here first...Shikamaru and Ino...your team number 2" Tsunade
"Welcome to the Gato Headquarters," the old women said as she bowed to them.
"Neji and Tenten....you're team number three." Tsunade added.
"Good enough..." Tenten said while walking to the building. Neji, and Ino followed her inside the dimly lit building. Shikamaru was still laying there flat on the platform staring at the sky. He blinked then sighed as he got up and walked very contently to the Gato Headquarters as it continued to rain.
Somewhere...
1:43pm
Sakura felt weary as she put on her coat. It had continued to platter rain all over the think muddy forest. She didn't know where she was going. Sakura looked at the envelope again, just about when she was reading the last bit of the note, she tripped over a stick and nearly fell down a hill if it wasn't for Sasukes' hand catching her. He stared at her and said, "...watch where your going" Sasuke said as he put her back on her two feet.
"Thanks...you should really wear your coa-" Sakura had suggested but was cut off by Sasuke, "No, I'm fine." Sakura was worried. She knew he was going to get a cold sooner of later. She looked at her hands to see a missing envelope.
"I lost the envelope," Sakura announced out loud as Sasuke stood there and sighed.
"...Oh well. Its just finding the Headquarters, how hard could that be." Sasuke cheered her up as he continued walking.
The rain got heavier; thunder arose from the sky as clashes of lighting were heard throughout the hidden mist village. Sasuke and Sakura had taken shelter under in a hole in a tree. Sakura wrapped herself in a thin blanket as gusts of winds came blowing by making the wet pair even colder. Sasuke denied the fact that he was cold, and chose not to be huddled in the blanket with Sakura. Minutes passed by slow as Sasuke sat there knowing that it wasn't going anywhere for them just sitting there, it wasn't good for Sakura's well being so Sasuke decided to look for the pit stop himself. He got up and left the tree.
"Ill be back soon," Sasuke said and with that he dashed off.
'...Sasuke-kun...' Sakura thought as she drooped her head onto her knees and wrapped the blanket around herself tighter. Sasuke's attempt to find the building was successful as he saw it in a distance. He ran back to the tree to get Sakura but when he arrived she was gone. His bag wasn't there either. Sasuke got nervous, and looked around the around franticly.
'...Damnit Sakura...where'd you go?' Sasuke thought to himself as he kept on looking for her and finally decided that he should go ask people at the pitstop to help him look for her.
Pit stop
1:50pm
'...Damn...stupid...thick...mud, and rain' Temari talked in her mind as she spotted a dimly lit building not so far away. She dragged one leg after the other while, glanced at Gaara and asked about the building.
"Is that it?" Temari questioned Gaara as a sweatdrop came upon her, knowing Gaara would give her a death glare of some sort.
"...sure," Gaara responded in a monotone voice as he turned his head to the right and saw a pink headed person walking confusedly around the area.
'...hm..." Gaara thought as his head turned back to the direction of the pit stop.
Not long after, they arrived covered in brown mud below the waist.
"Welcome to Gato Headquarters!" The old woman said for the 4th time that day.
"Temari and Gaara, you're team number 4!" Tsunade spoke and nodded at the same time.
"Yay?" Temari muttered under her hesitation. Gaara strolled away, the way the two sand-nins came, the way Gaara saw Sakura.
'...Wonder where he's going............oh well, I'm gonna see if Shikamaru's here...' Temari grinned and smirked at the same time while giggling like a maniac.
Road to Inari's House
2:00pm
"AHH LEE!!! ALL OF THAT RUNNING HAS MADE ME HUNGRY AGAIN!" Chouji yelled as his arms flailed in the air while he ran in circles around Lee.
"Go get food." Lee responded and continued walking as Chouji thought to himself.
"That's true...............AHH LEE!!! WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY!!!" Chouji whined as he kept on bothering Lee. (Lolz Karen... BOTHA BOTHA BOTHA!)
"Go beg for money." Lee spat back at him.
"...That just might work!" Chouji said and jetted off running to each home and knocking on the door. He knocked...and knocked...and knocked and came across no money, Chouji tried one last time.
-knock knock knock-
"Hel-" The old man was about to finish when he noticed it was those two people who didn't pay their bill.
"YOU AGAIN!" The old man said as he grabbed his walking stick and started chasing them again.
"AHHH" Chouji screamed like a girl and started running away as Lee frantically followed.
Forest before the pit stop
2:03pm
Sakura wandered around the path unaware of where she was going. The afternoon was, cold and wet. She was worried, her eyes started to twitch as her vision got blurry. Soon after she collapsed and laid there for minutes, cold as ever. Sakura began to shake and her teeth chattered. She was thinking about Sasuke as she felt a presence.
Gaara watched on as she fell victim of the weathers temperature. He stalked up behind the curled up body and knelt down to check if she was ," Gaara thought as he put his hand on her cheek to check if she was alright. Her neck started hurting as she turned her head to see who it was. Her emerald eyes met those of his. Gaara had a worried look plastered on his face, he had never seen someone in this condition, more the less he didn't know what to do. He lifted her up back onto her feet and took off his shirt for her, the only shirt Gaara had on. She looked on with one eye as the other one closed shut from the day's cold breeze.
Gaara wrapped his shirt around her, pulled out his emergency blanket and gave it to Sakura for extra warmth.
"...Let's you inside," Gaara demanded as he started guiding her and helping her walk.
Sasuke followed a trail of crooked footsteps.
'Sakura...' Sasuke mumbled over his breath as he looked frantically around for the pink head and noticed that she was walking next to a red head, side by side. The red head none other then Gaara. He felt rage into his eyes as he had wrapped the blanket around Sakura. Sasuke felt like his heart skipped a beat, his fists hardened. He wanted to bring out the sharingan and beat that living hell out of that guy, but he knew...he knew he couldn't.
"...Thanks," Sakura murmured under her breath, as her face blushed pink while contemplating her feelings.
'...Why am I feeling this way...no, I couldn't like Gaara...I like Sasuke-kun..." Sakura thought, she felt very quizzical and confused.
'...I bet Ino could help me!" Sakura remembered after stepping on top of the platform thing.
"Tsunade-sama, Sakura's very ill. Can you let her in?" Gaara asked politely.
"...No can do. She'll have to wait for her partner." Tsunade replied before she scratched her head. After Tsunade had said that Sasuke calmly walked down the hill and stepped on top of the platform.
"Welcome to Gato Headquarters!" The old woman said for the 5th time that day.
"Sasuke and Sakura, your team number 5!" Tsunade spoke while nodding at the same time.
"Hey...Sasuke-kun" Sakura spoke and tapped his shoulder before many sneezes came out. Sasuke in hearing Tsunade had finished shrugged the hand off and walked away coldly. Sakura felt a bit odd and unease when he had done that, it wasn't the first time he had done it, but it was the coldest.
"C'mon Sakura, let's go inside, you'll get a cold if you stay out longer." Gaara said while taking her hand and started dragging her in.
Within minutes of Sasuke and Sakura arriving, Shino and Kiba did. They went through the procedure that they all went through and walked inside.
Running away, Inari's House
3:00pm
"At least we made it to where we are susposed to go!" Lee said as he started dying and gasping for more air.
"Yeah! That old man was wicked fast, even for me!" Chouji agreed.
Both of them walked inside and asked for another note. Inari gave it to them. Chouji opened it, it read:
...You're so slow. Anyway's...everyone made it here already, so there's no point in you two coming. Give up. YOU'RE ELIMINATED!
See you soon in Konoha!
-Tsunade
"My dreams that I could do with that 1 million dollars, SHATTERED!" Chouji said as he started listing things he could of done with the chips, er a million dollars.
"It's your fault. Now I cant fulfill what Gai-sensei wants!" Lee remarked after sobbing.
"WAH!!!" Both of them went as it was heard throughout the country.
