Well, as not to be a complete bum! I UPDATE!
After the laughter died down it was time for some real fun. The boys all began to dig through Gaara's hard earned, anger fueled winnings. Naruto beat Neji over the head with a blow up screwdriver, until Neji found a rubber band gun and proceeded to shoot the spikey blonde mercilessly. The spikey blonde begged for mercy as red whelp developed on his leg and arms.
Akamaru found a ball and played with it. Kiba found a magic eye poster and was currently going cross-eyed trying to see the naked girl that Kankurou assured him was there. "It freaking looks like a rabbit!"
"Just look harder," Kankurou urged as he entertained himself with a paddleball.
Sasuke pulled out a small box. "Wow, a camcorder…." Kankurou opened his mouth to speak but Sasuke glared at him. "No."
"You don't know what I was going to say!"
"Did it involve girls and/or nudity?"
"… … A true ninja never reveals his motives…"
"… You're so full of shit," Sasuke accused with a glare.
There was a sudden intake of air. They all turned to look at Kiba. "I think ….I think….. …. No nevermind." They shook their heads.
Lee however jumped up in joy. "YES! We should definitely watch this! It's already getting late, so it's the perfect time to enjoy a scary movie."
"A scary movie," Neji asked dubiously. "How could a move be scary enough to scare ninja? We've seen enough to make anyone numb to fear."
Lee' expression grew grim. "You…have not seen, " He held up the DVD case. "The Slaughters of the Demon Anbu 5, a movie only rivaled in scariness by THIS!" He held up another case. "The Unforgivable Scroll."
Kankurou unwrapped a sucker and put it in his mouth. "How bad can they be? You babies might be scared but I'm up for anything."
Taken by this challenge the boy readily agreed to partake in this impromptu movie night. They took turns brushing their teeth and spread their futon around the TV, now in the pajama's. Lee loaded up the movie while Sasuke and Kiba proceeded to shut the blind, thrusting the room into pitch black.
Several minutes into the movie, the boys moved closer to the screen captivated by the wicked tale of the cursed Anbu. Akamaru was already shivering in Kiba's pajama top. Gaara was uncommonly close to Kankurou, hugging Dodongo tightly. Kankurou had the blanket wrapped around them, partly for warmth, partly for reasons he wasn't willing to admit relating to the movie and the fear therefore incurred.
The music became suddenly dark and foreboding as an attractive blond kunoichi placed her hand on a door knob turning it….slowly.
"She's gonna die," Kiba whimpered.
"Shh!" Sasuke hissed.
The door creaked as it opened. Revealing a mostly empty room, except for a little girl in a white dress humming a Japanese tune as she played with a puppet.
"Oh fuck…." Kankurou pulled the blanket tighter. "That ain't cool…."
"SHH!" Sasuke shushed for a second time. His hands fiddled with each other nervously.
The woman moved closer to the child, her guard slightly lowered. "What are you doing here, little one. It's not safe…" She reached out to touch the girls shoulder.
Naruto felt something heavy on his shoulder. His body temperature dropped ten degrees, his heart stopped as he turned, a pale slender hand had his shoulder. "H…H…….HHhhh….HHHHHHHHH….HOLY CRAP! IT'S GOT ME!"
"AAAAAAAH!" They boys collectively screamed.
Sasuke jumped up and ran for the kitchen, hoping to surround himself in knives. Neji fell immediately into a battle stance. Lee hid in the bathroom, Gaara surrounding himself and Kankurou in sand. Shikamaru picked up the rubber band gun and aimed it at the ghost. Naruto fell unconscious.
Hinata stood there in a white gown, her eyes wide with fear. "I….I… I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask you guys if you wanted some food."
The boys slowly emerged from their hiding spots. "How do you know it's really Hinata?" Kiba quipped holding a shuriken.
"Huh?" the confused girl looked around. "Uuuuuh…" Neji confirmed with his Byakugan that, indeed, it was Hinata. They breathed a sigh of relief. "What's going on? Did I scare you guys?"
"…….." The boy looked at each and laughed.
"What? No way?"
"Haha, we sure fooled you!"
"Us? Scared?"
"Look at her she's all jumpy!"
"This movie isn't scary at all!"
Hinata blinked. "Oh, you're watching a scary movie….Can we watch too?"
The boys fell into a huddle. "If we let the girls in, they'll know we're scared." "Are you crazy? Girls plus scary movies, instant cuddling." "Pervert. I say no way. They'll want to sleep in here, they'll be so scared." "I second my previous statement." "I second Sasuke; you are a pervert." "If they're in here, they can't surprise us." "And the scare the shit out of us?" "Exactly." "Good point." "So they're in?" "Sure."
They all stood up and regarded the perplexed Hinata. Shikamaru shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure, you guys can come in. Just don't come crying to us because you're scared." Hinata nodded and left the room. The boys took their seats again, braver and Lee rewound back to the point they left out at. In a few moments, the girls were in the room armed with pillows and blankets.
Temari plopped down in-between Kankurou and Shikamaru, holding her pillow. Hinata sat by Naruto, mostly to revive him from his stupor. Sakura snuggled up as close as she could to Sasuke. And finally, Ten-ten, fell in between her teammates. The movie resumed.
As the movie progressed, blood was splattering, people were screaming, and cursed undead ninja were systematically hunting down every living thing in the village. When the movie ended, no one was breathing.
"… … … Wanna watch the next one," Lee ventured with his voice shaking. Not wanting to be the coward everyone put on a smile and nodded. It was already nearly midnight.
The next movie started off with a bright shiny village. Birds were singing, a stream gurgled nearby, and a dog walked past the screen holding a severed human skull locked in a silent scream. Gaara gripped Dodongo a little tighter.
Halfway through the movie, the main villain, "the man with one cursed eye", was chasing the main characters through a dark corridor. He seemed to be everywhere they turned. There was no escape. No retreat. No way out.
The window behind them slammed. They all jumped and turned. The wind blew the curtains.
Kiba leaned over to Sasuke. "I…I thought you closed the windows?"
"I…I did." Sakura started to whimper. Sasuke held her close eye glued onto the window.
"Someone should go over and cl-close it," Naruto suggested. "I vote for Neji. He's older."
"What! Kankurou's older than me."
"I don't do good with melee battle! …Lee should go!"
"… … Um… I'm not so good with ninjutsu. Ghosts use ninjutsu. I suggest Gaara goes."
"Shikamaru should sacrifice himself for the greater good. He's chuunin and therefore leader."
"Fuck. That. I vote for Kiba, he's the loud comic relief that always dies first. He should just go on and get it over with."
"WHAT! Naruto's way funnier and louder, he should go."
"WHAT! I'm the cute one. The cute dies last, jerk."
Behind them movie continued and a woman screamed as the 'man with the evil eye' laughed maniacally. The shuddered as they turned just in time to see the darkness engulf her.
"How naughty for such young ninja to still be up," came a dark voice. No one moved. "Those are the kind of ninja… I LIKE TO KILL!" They turned one last time to see a glowing red eye glaring down at them.
And screaming insued until someone cut on the light. Gai reclined by the door, grinning. Kurenai was brushing her teeth, an eyebrow raised in amusement.
"I think I wet myself…"Kiba whimpered.
"I know I wet myself," Temari agreed.
The copy-ninja chuckled to himself only to find Naruto attached to him and punching him in the arm. "WHERE DO YOU GET THE NERVE SCARING THE HELL OUT OF US! THAT'S THE SECOND TIME I'VE ALMOST DIED TONIGHT!"
Gai looked over to his team. "You weren't scared were you guys?"
They all put on the airs of seriousness and shook their heads. However, Ten-ten was embraced tightly Neji's arms protectively, and Ten-ten had her nails digging into Lee's arms. Lee still had his blankets pulled around him.
Their jounin rolled his eyes. He walked over to the DVD player and ejected the two movies. "You guys shouldn't be watching these. We'll be confiscating them. Good night! Sweet dreams."
"Girls back to your room," Kurenai ordered. The girls slowly got up and shuffled in a huddled group to their room. Kakashi and Kurenai waved shutting the door and turning off the light.
The room was silent for a few moments until Neji spoke up. "… Those movies were great."
"Yeah."
"Let's do this again."
"Did you see the girls, they were so scared."
"Girls are weak, y'know."
"Arf."
"Akamaru says 'Did you see the way the Anbu ripped that guy in two?'"
"That was so sweet."
"Those movies weren't scary, they were just dumb."
"Yeah."
Silence.
"Lee, would you turn on the bathroom light?"
"Are you scared?"
"No, I just don't want to stub my toe, if I get up late in the night."
"Oh….Yeah. That makes sense. Good idea."
"Yeah, that's a good idea. I hate stubbing my toe."
"Gaara can't sleep right?"
"Hey, Gaara watch out for zombies."
"… …" Gaara hugged his bear.
Armed with a bathroom light and an insomniac harboring a demon, the brave ninja were finally able of sleeping. Except for Gaara, who could only hug his bear and hope that nothing was going to eat him.
