Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Team Kurenai
Summer
Spectrum suggested that we do a SNOWY chapter. We thought that would be fun, but that sparked an exciting idea! Four teams… FOUR SEASONS… FOUR MORE CHAPTERS!! YAY!!
Kiba, Shino and Hinata had just arrived at the water park. It was a very wonderful water park and it was especially wonderful because they got their own cabana and required no adult supervision! But they had it anyway since Kurenai was there!
Unfortunately for them, it had yet to open.
"I can't believe the water park isn't open yet!" said Kiba, clinging onto the fence that kept them out.
"Don't worry, it should open up any minute." Said Kurenai.
…Then it opened! YAY!!
They all got in line to get their bracelets. Luckily, they were all tall enough so they got to ride the big rides. Shino got a different bracelet that promised he would not go into the water and if he did, they would get fined. But the bracelet cost less so that's why it was purchased!
"Water parks are cool!" said Kiba. "I ALWAYS rally for field trips to water parks whenever I can because I feel it is important for us to not only work to become ninjas but also ride down waterslides!"
"What…in order to become ninjas?" Shino asked.
"No, just in general." Kiba answered.
"I thought you didn't like water." Said Shino.
"I don't!" Kiba agreed. "But I still feel it is important for us to ride waterslides! Wow, I feel like a broken record!"
"Well, Kiba, you weren't being very clear." Hinata pointed out.
"You're right, Hinata!" said Kiba. "I should try to be clearer from now on! Hey, let's not stand around talking about pointless things anymore and go down the slides!"
"I'm not going down the slides." Said Shino. "I don't do water."
"You two could have told us that you didn't like water BEFORE we got here!" said Kurenai.
"I've TOLD you all that I don't do water." Shino said. "On countless occasions, as a matter of fact."
"We're still coming with you guys even if we're not going down any slides!" said Kiba.
They went off to the waterslide with the shortest line. Hinata and Kurenai went up and then they went down. Kiba cheered for them as they splashed in the pool at the bottom of the slide and Shino stood there without any change in his expression whatsoever. Of course not.
"All right, we were talking while we were in line." Said Kurenai to Shino and Kiba. "And we feel bad about going down slides while you guys just wait here."
"It's all right!" said Kiba. "I was here just in case I had to dive in and save anyone who is drowning."
"Kiba…you wouldn't do that anyway." Said Shino. "You JUST said a few minutes ago that even if someone was drowning you wouldn't get in any water."
"No…" said Kiba. "I said I wouldn't get in the water if it was OVER MY HEAD."
"Let's just go to the wave pool." Said Kurenai.
They all frolicked off to the wave pool. Kurenai and Hinata jumped into the water as Kiba and Shino stood idly by.
"Okay…I guess this is kind of pointless too." Said Kurenai with a sigh.
"I'll take picture of everyone!" said Kiba as he whipped out his camera. Luckily he didn't like water or else he might have very well belly flopped into the pool.
"Come on, Kiba, you're being dumb." Said Shino. "Look at how BORED Hinata is."
"No, it's all right." Said Hinata but it was so obvious that it wasn't true.
"Kiba, you're going in the wave pool whether you go in voluntarily or I FORCE you to." said Shino.
"Why?!" demanded Kiba. "I don't like water! I TOLD you all that!"
"DOGS love water and CATS hate water." Shino pointed out.
"My horrible dislike of water has nothing to do with my tight relationship with dogs!" Kiba said. "It's not something that my entire clan suffers from! It's just an individual preference!"
"I'm bigger than you and I'm a better fighter." Said Shino. "I WILL get you into that pool."
"Shino, leave him alone." Said Kurenai. "If he doesn't want to get in the pool then you can't MAKE him."
"He has to at least TRY it." said Shino.
"WHY DO I HAVE TO AT LEAST TRY IT!?!?" yelled Kiba as he overreacted.
"Kiba, calm down." Said Kurenai. "There's no reason to get yourself all agitated like that. I'm sure Shino was just…joking around."
"Oh yeah." Said Kiba sarcastically. "I'm SURE Shino was just joking around since he has a tendency of doing that a lot."
Kiba stood there and glared at Shino.
Shino must have had a rush of adrenalin or something because he extended one hand and knocked Kiba into the pool. Just because he could.
Kiba resurfaced, jumped out of pool and looked like he was about to unleash all his anger and rage out on Shino, but then he just stormed off. The three of them hung out there for a moment.
"Hinata, you go." said Kurenai.
"Okay…" said Hinata, getting out of the pool and hurrying after him.
"Shino, that wasn't very nice." Said Kurenai to Shino.
"I didn't think he'd get so upset." Shino confessed. "You have to admit, I was provoked."
"Shino, you were entirely unprovoked." Said Kurenai. "I think you were upset about something and took it out on Kiba. Now what do you say to that?"
"I'd say your assumption is incorrect." Shino replied.
"You should still apologize to him." Kurenai said.
Just then, Hinata returned.
"Is Kiba all right?" asked Kurenai. "Did you tell him Shino was sorry?"
"He'll be fine." Said Hinata.
"He's just a little dramatic sometimes." Kurenai sighed.
"A little?" Shino said, raising an eyebrow. "Sometimes?"
"Okay…maybe he's really dramatic… all the time…" Kurenai corrected herself.
"You DID push him in the pool…" Hinata pointed out shyly.
"I don't think he'll hold a grudge." Kurenai said.
"He's just going to dry off and change his clothes back at the cabana." Hinata reported.
"Is he coming back?" asked Kurenai.
"He says it depends if he feels like it…" Hinata said.
"Why is he changing out of his bathing suit?" asked Shino.
"He said it was because it was wet." Hinata answered.
"…I'm no expert on bathing suits, but I thought that was the point of them." Shino said. Hinata and Kurenai shrugged. And Shino shrugged too. And somewhere, back at the cabana, Kiba couldn't help but subconsciously join in on the shrugging as well!! HAW HAW HAW!!
