Chapter 16: The Thing Temari Forgot to Mention
The eight were very distracted at the moment… while Shikamaru was suspicious.
'With such a deal with this, there must be a catch…' He looked at Ino, frantically searching around for a pen. 'Ha…so like Ino…' He thought. 'Hell, I'll just risk it…don't really care.'
"Sakuraaaa, where's your writing toollls?" Ino chimed.
"It's in my rooommm, Inoo." Sakura mimicked. Instantly, they all rushed to her room. "HEY, don't snoop around there!" Sakura ran to her room, and attempted to close it shut, but failed to in time.
"What the hell…?" Neji muttered. The room itself was normal looking, but it was a complete mess. There was a huge book among the mess, pages blowing by itself because of an open window. It had tons of pictures in frames of team 7, but it was mostly of Sasuke. God knows where she managed to take so much. Sakura blushed. HARD. It was as red as Hinata's, which is almost impossible. Sakura slammed the door shut, and cracks started to form around the door. Sakura blushed even harder, as everybody stared at her with awe. "I'll find it." She reopened it and went in, closing the door softer than before.
"How…weird…" Everyone turned to Sasuke, who turned around to keep his face hidden.
"It's not as bad as Hinata-sama's" Neji commented.
"N-Neji-kun!" (I forgot how she refers to him as) Hinata stuttered, flushing.
"Neji! Don't pick on Hinata-chan like that!" Tenten shushed. Neji just rolled his eyes. (How feminine)
Ding DongSakura busted out her door with a mug-ful of pens. "Oh, it must be the others coming! I almost forgot!" being the hostess, she gruffly handed the mug to Naruto, and ran to the front door.
"Ooiii, Sakura-san!" Lee exclaimed, his bobbed head waving around. Akamaru shuddered.
"Heyyyy" Kiba said.
"Hey" Shino said.
"Hi, come in." Sakura replied nervously.
"Where's the food?" Chouji asked.
"Right over there, by the kitchen" Chouji, Kiba, and Akamaru ran to their heaven.
"Where's everybody Sakura-san?" Lee asked curiously.
"They're all…upstairs."
"Ohhh…did you get this form?" Happily, he flashed her the contest form they received earlier.
"Yeah. Why don't we all go back to the ramen shop to hand it in, Lee-san?" Sakura suggested happily.
"S-Sakura-san…." Lee stuttered. "Of course!" He exclaimed, raising his fist into the air.
"HEY EVERYONE, DONE WITH THE FORMS YET?"
Once they all headed to the ramen shop…
"Aa, hi again. I see my advertiser handed those to all of you." The ramen man smiled. "I nearly forgot to, so I paid that lady to give them to you."
"Hey old man! The deal's great, so of course we're going!" Naruto exclaimed.
"That's great! Just slip your application forms to this box over here. Guys will put their forms on the blue one, and the girls will put it in the purple. Oh, and you can't change your mind once you put it in." Ayame explained, heaving two ginormous boxes to a nearby table. Everyone nodded hesitantly and slipped it in. That followed by the girls slapping the guy's hand away that also led to death-stares. Lee just stared, confused, while Chouji, Kiba, and Akamaru were busy eating the food they brought with them.
"Oh, by the way, did the young lady tell you all the terms and conditions?"
"Yeah, I think so." Tenten answered.
"Ok. Just to make sure." The old man lifted the two boxes. "Feels full enough. We will begin the draw right now."
"…Draw?" Sasuke murmured. Not hearing Sasuke, the old man shaked the boxes and picked names from it.
"Aha. Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Hinata." Ayame nodded, and wrote their names on a little notebook.
"Wha?" Naruto pondered out-loud.
"Are you sure you heard all the terms and conditions?" Everybody shrugged.
"Well, you're supposed to do the contest with a partner of the opposite sex, due to protests…and you're to split to prize if you win, so each of you can get a gift worth 100 dollars."
"Naanniii?" The group, minus the Sasuke, Neji, Chouji, Akamaru, and Kiba yelled.
"Hmm, I guess I'll have to deduct her pay then…Next, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura."
"Maybe the contest isn't that bad…" Naruto exclaimed flirtatiously. He received a whack on the head.
"I-Is that thing shuffled correctly?" Sakura bellowed.
"Yup." He shuffled again. "…Chaho Mizuru and Koha Aki." Nobody cared. "Ok. Hyuuga Neji…and…hmm, I can't read that part. Something…Tonten."
"It's Tenten—(Crackkk)" Out of nowhere, a loud crack of a branch was heard, and all they heard her say was Tenten. After a few random people's names were announced, it was decided that Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino were going to be partners.
"Dammit." Shikamaru complained, also receiving a whack on the head. And as for the others…
"Wow, she didn't tell many people about the conditions. There isn't any girls left, and there are quite a few guys leftover…" Ayame said, peeking into the boxes.
"That's alright, I have a special job for them…which I'll explain during the contest…"
Everybody's enthusiasm of that day was decreased, but it had to happen…
"This…sucks…."
Mwahahahahahaaa, maybe some unfinished business shall be settled….love you all for reviewing!
:D
