SR: I seem to be getting less reviews...If you're gonna read this at least have the decency to tell me you like it or something!

Saeki: Calm down other me, you're gonna scare away the reader(s).

SR: Alright. (takes a deep breath) But i'm seriously getting less reviews. And less reviews means less and longer updates! (evil grin)

Saeki: Whatever. (Takes a look at the reviews) Looks like nejithecagedbird wants you to put her in here too.

SR: Really? Sure. I guess I can pair her up with Keisuke.

Keisuke: You DO know that i'm just another part of you?

SR: So?

Keisuke: Don't you think it's wierd that one of you is paired with Temari, while another you is with an OC?

SR: What's wrong with it?

Keisuke: Forget it. Sometimes I wonder how I'm you. I'm going to get some ramen. See you later.

SR and Saeki: TAKE ME WITH YOU! (everyone runs to get ramen)

SR: Oh and since I got some people saying my chapters are short, this one will be twice as long as the last chapter. DON'T STEAL MY RAMEN! (runs after Saeki and Keisuke who are already eating)

Naruto: Just to clear things up, Saeki and Keisuke are different sides of SR. Saeki is his flirting, girl crazy, hyper side. Keisuke is his cooler, more calm, and actually uses his brain side. He has other sides, but he's only usig these two. They all have his love of ramen though. And those guys don't own Naruto. WAIT FOR ME!

"word" talking
"word" thinking
"Word" Kyuubi, Shukaku, Inner Sakura, Shino's bugs, Akamaru, you get it.

In Naruto's room, everyone was busy unpacking. Except for Gaara and Sasuke. Gaara because he didn't have anything to unpack, Sasuke because His luggage was bigger than he was so Sakura unpacked for him. Naruto finished first and left.

"I'm going to go see those new guys. I want a ramen bowl carved on my forehead protector too!" Naruto called back when he was in the door.

"Hn. That idiot. Can't keep his mind of ramen." Sasuke smirked.

Gaara finished next and left without saying anything. The room was in silence for a while, until Sakura spoke up.

"Hey Hinata, you really like Naruto don't you?"

Hinata looked up at Sakura quickly and blushed. "H-how did you know?"

"It's kind of obvious with you always trying to talk to him, blushing when you do, and you can't even say a full sentence without stuttering." Sakura smiled. "Too bad he's too much of a dunce to notice."

"I just don't get how you can like that guy." Sasuke told Hinata.

"I'm going to go get something to eat." Hinata bowed and left the room.

"Well let's go look around Sasuke-kun." Sakura picked up Sasuke and they left.

The first thing Sakura and Sasuke noticed was this place was very big it's easy to get lost. The other thing they noticed was there were no maps or directory things around. So they went to the front desk to ask for a map to the resort. The guy there gave them one and they looked at it. They whistled when they saw it. The resort was huge! It had its own amusement park, hot springs, five star restaurants, everything. So they decided to gather everyone else and decide on what do to. They went to everyone's rooms and led them all to the main lobby, where Saeki and Keisuke were being begged by Naruto to give him one of their special forehead protectors.

"Please please let me have one please!" Naruto was on his knees begging. "I need to have one please!"

Saeki and Keisuke were looking at eachother. "We don't know if you're worthy of wearing it. Can you cook and eat ramen as well as us?"

"No one can eat as much ramen as I can!" Naruto punched his hand in the air and gave his trademark fox grin.

"We'll see about that." The two smirked. "How about all of us go to our amusement park? We can decide whether you are worthy of it there."

"Ok! Everyone, let's go!" and Naruto ran out of the room, only to come back two seconds later. "Umm...where is it?"

Saeki sighed and scratched the back oh his head. "Go back outside and look to your left."

Everyone went outside and gasped. Not too far was an enormous amusement park. Huge rides, lots of shiny lights, and many people.

"You own all that?" Ino asked, amazed.

"Yup. We're actually the founders of the amusement park. So all the money made goes to us. The resort and everything else is our parents'." Keisuke explained.

"Ooh money!" Miharu was jumping up and down. "How much do you make?"

"Haven't really counted. We never really spend it but wek now it's a lot." Saeki was still holding Ken.

"Well then let's go!" Naruto ran off first. Everyone followed behind.

When they got there, everyone just stared, while Naruto had stars in his eyes.

"This-" Sasuke started.

"This is-" Sakura managed to say.

"This is quite a surprise." Kakashi said to himself.

"THIS IS HEAVEN!" Naruto yelled.

At the top of the gate, with lightbulbs surrounding it, was a sign that said 'Ramen World'. Almost everything was somehow related to ramen. The rides, games, everything. Naruto was bouncing up and down humming to himself.

"Naruto, come with us. Everyone else, feel free to look around." Saeki motioned to Naruto to follow.

"We know where you can prove yourself worthy of this sacred forehead protector." Keisuke followed his older brother.

Everyone sweatdropped. "Sacred forehead protector?" went through everyone's minds. But then they split up to check out the rides.

Saeki and Keisuke led Naruto to the center of the park. On the way there, al these girls kept calling out to them.

"Saeki-kun! Nice to see you again!"

"Hey Kei-kun!"

"Who's that ugly guy Saeki-kun?"

"You have a lot of fangirls." Naruto said grumpily.

"Well we are the owners and founders of this place." Keisuke said happily.

"Not to mention our stunningly good looks." Saeki was waving to all the girls. "Ah, here we are. The Ramenkage competition."

"Ramenkage competition?" Naruto asked. "What's that?"

"It's a competition we hold to see who deserves the title of Ramenkage. Ever since the park opened, aniki has been the title holder. No one has ever beaten him. I'd get close sometimes, but he always beats me." Keisuke explained to Naruto.

"And I don't plan to lose anytime soon." Saeki smirked and led Naruto to a flight of stairs. When they got up, they saw a man standing there.

"Welcome back Shodaime-sama. Do you have another challenger?" the man asked Saeki.

"The blonde kid." Saeki pointed to Naruto.

Naruto looked at Saeki confused. "Why did he call you Shodaime-sama?"

"Because i'm the first Ramenkage. If anyone beats me, they become Nidaime. And so on."

"Then prepare to have your title taken away from you." Naruto gave his trademark fox grin.

The man went over to a microphone and spoke into it. "ATTENTION EVERYONE! THERE'S A NEW CHALLENGER CHALLENGING SHODAIME-SAMA FOR THE TITLE OF RAMENKAGE! THE COMPETITION WILL BEGIN IN 10 MINUTES!"

Naruto looked out from the platform they were standing on so see crowds of people comming to watch the competition. He was amazed. Everyone in the park was going to watch. Even the rides shut down so the workers could watch the event. He noticed his friends coming up the stairs, led by Keisuke.

"I let you guys have the best seats, since your friends with the challenger." Keisuke said to the group. He led them to a round stadium which was located at the very center of the park. There were thousands of seats, and those who could not get tickets could watch the competition by watching the TVs on the outside wall of the stadium. In the middle of the stadium was a field, and in the middle of the field were two tables. Saeki and Naruto were already sitting there, chopsticks in hand. The announcer was standing behind them with a microphone in his hand.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ARE YOU READY FOR THE COMPETITION?"

The crowd cheered. Fan girls and fan boys screamed. (The fan boys aren't gay, they just respect Saeki and Keisuke)

"THEN LET'S START! THE COMPETITION WILL BE IN THREE PARTS. THE FIRST, IS WHO CAN FINISH A BOWL FASTEST. SECOND IS WHO CAN EAT THE MOST, AND LAST IS WHO CAN COOK THE BEST TASTING RAMEN! CONTESTANTS, ARE YOU READY TO BEGIN?"

They both nodded.

"THEN WAITERS, BRING OUT THE FIRST BOWLS!"

Two waiters came out with two bowls of ramen, setting one in front of each person.

"BEGIN!"

Saeki and Naruto both started eating like crazy.

"So fast, I've never seen Naruto eat ramen that fast." Sakura gasped. Sasuke just stared.

"Isn't it hot?" Ino asked, looking at Keisuke.

Keisuke shook his head. "To professionals like me and aniki, we can deal with the heat."

Everyone sweatdropped. "Trained professionals?"

Naruto was about halfway done with his ramen, when he looked over st Saeki, who was leaning back in his chair staring at the clouds. Naruto choked on his ramen, and looked at Saeki's bowl, which was empty.

"WINNER SAEKI!"

Everyone cheered. Keisuke just folded his arms. Everyone else looked at Saeki like he was a madman.

"How does someone eat ramen that fast?" Kiba looked shocked. Akamaru popped his head out from Kiba's shirt.

"It's inhuman." Ino was also shocked.

"It's nothing. Aniki has finished way faster. He just went easy on him." Keisuke shrugged.

Everyone stared at him. "These guys are wierd"

"ITS TIME FOR THE NEXT COMPETITION! WAITERS, BRING OUT THE RAMEN!"

Then lines of waiters came out with ramen bowls, putting them all on the table.

"Heaven." Naruto thought.

"BEGIN!"

Naruto and Saeki started digging into the ramen. The empty bowls kept piling and piling up. Soon, there was a wall of bowls covering them. Soon, there was a mix of different smells inside the stadium. All kinds of ramen flavor smells were floating around, making Kiba clutch his nose in pain. Soon, Naruto was full. Rubbing his stomach, he had successfully beaten his own record, eating 34 bowls of ramen. Looking over at Saeki, He found he was only on his 25th bowl. Naruto smiled to himself, thinking he was the winner. But as time went by, Saeki kept eating, until he finished his 35th bowl. Then he put his chopsticks down, and smiled at Naruto. "I win."

The crows went wild. Girls were cheering for Saeki everywhere. Outside the watchers were celebrating.

"SINCE SAEKI HAS WON TWO OUT OF THREE, HE IS THE WINNER! CONGRATULATIONS SHODAIME-SAMA!"

Saeki bowed and waved at the crowd. Naruto was crying.

"Well I guess that's it. Come on Neji, let's go check out the rides." Tenten pulled Neji's arm and led him out of the stadium.

"I want to see the rides too!" Miharu pulled Shino out with Chiaki following.

"Come on Kiba-kun! Let's go!" Kumi ran out of the stadium with Kiba right behind.

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari Went to ride some rides, Chouji went to find a bbq place, Shikamaru and Ino went to play some games, Hinata was trying to cheer Naruto up, the teachers had disappeared, and Sasuke was being carried off by Sakura to go on some kiddy rides. Lee was nowhere to be found. Saeki and Keisuke went over to hwere Naruto and Hinata were.

"Hey, you did good kid. Not many have gotten over 30 bowls. We think you deserve the forehead protector." Saeki smiled.

"YATTA!" Naruto started hugging the nearest object, which was Hinata, causing her to blush furiously. "So when do I get it?"

Saeki opened a box he pulled out from nowhere and opened it. Inside was a forehead protector with a bowl of ramen on it, but there were no steam lines over it.

"Where are the steam lines?"

"You'll get those when you prove yourself worthy of them. Since we're the owners of 'Ramen World' we get three. The workers get one, fanclub members get two, and the rest get none. You'll notice all our fangirls have two steam lines on theirs."

"So we'll leave you two to do what you want. We're going to go check up on the park. See you later!" Saeki and Keisuke waved and left the stadium.

Naruto quickly took off his konoha forehead protector and put on his new one. "So what do you want to doHinata-chan?"

"He called me Hinata-chan!" Hinata smiled. "Let's go on some rides."

So Naruto and Hinata went to find some rides. They saw Neji and Tenten standig in line for the haunted house, and went to join them.

"Hey Neji, Tenten, do you mind if we come with you?" Naruto called while running toawrds then and waving. Hinata followed behind.

"Sure Naruto-kun. Is that okay Neji?" Tenten looked at Neji. Neji nodded.

"Great!" Naruto grinned and looked back at Hinata. "They said it was fine if we joined."

Hinata nodded and joined her cousin and Tenten in line. After a few minutes, they saw Gaara and Kankuro. Naruto waved at them and they walked over to them.

"Hey Gaara, want to go in the haunted house with us?" Naruto asked him. Gaara just nodded and joined them in line.

"Where is Temari?" Tenten asked them.

"She went off somewhere by herself." Kankuro sighed and followed Gaara. Soon it was their turn to enter.

Thet went in and it was pitch black, with a small light in the distance. They walked towards it and led then into a room. It was silent, until evil voices started laughing. Then faces started apearing and circling them. Gaara and Neji just stood there, Tenten was holding onto Neji, and Naruto and Hinata were hugging eachother in fear. Then out of nowhere, a bloody headless ghost appeared in front of Kankuro, causing him to let out a high pitched shriek and run behind Gaara. The the ghost disappeared and the faces went away.

"I didn't know you screamed like a girl Kankuro." Gaara looked at his older brother who was cowering in fear behind him and smiled slightly.

"I think I wet myself." Naruto whined and Hinata put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Then a door opened and they went through it.

They found themselves in a hallway of mirrors. Every now and then, a ghost would fly out of a mirrow and scare everyone. and at the end, there was another mirror. But when everyone looked in it, they all gasped.

Neji looked in and saw his dad being killed again, Tenten looked in and saw her family was dead, Gaara looked in and saw his past, Kankuro looked in and saw himself dead, Hinata looked in and saw herself killing Naruto, Naruto looked in and saw the Ichiraku burning down.

"NOOOOOO!" they all screamed and ran away from the mirror.

As Neji was running, he saw a small flicker of light pass him. He stopped and everyone else did too. Neji looked and saw that one of the mirrors were missing and there was a hole in the wall where the mirror was supposed to be. Neji stepped in it, and fell down a tunnel. Everyone looked at eachother, and jumped down, following Neji. But the tunnel/slide seperated and everyone got split up. They all landed in, what looked like to them, different places. Neji found himself in a room and saw his dad dead, and a younger version of him crying.

"They're making us relive our worst moments" Neji thought.

Tenten found herself back in Konoha, at her sister's funeral. She saw herself and her family there crying. (SR: I couldn't think of one for Tenten so don't sue me)

Gaara was back in Suna watching himself holding a teddy bear, while running and crying. Then he saw Yashamaru trying to assassinate him.

Kankuro looked to see a small kid being bullied by bigger kids. He saw ripped up sock puppets on the ground next to his younger self.

Hinata saw herself being yelled at by her father, over and over again.

Naruto sw himself surrounded by the villagers who kept yelling at him, then he ran away crying.

Then everyone came back to reality and found themselves in a square room with a closed door. They all opened it and found everyone else.

"You saw your past?" Neji asked everyone.

Everyone nodded. Some were wiping away tears.

"Let's get out of here." Gaara walked towards the door. Everyone followed.

When they got out, they were blinded by the light. Being in a dark house will do that. They all looked at eachother, wondering what to do next. They just wandered around until the saw this building with a 'do not enter sign' on the door. Kankuro looked around and saw an open window on the side.

"Hey Naruto, come over here and give me a boost."

"Okay." Naruto started to talk in a slow voice. "You. Are. A. Good. Person. And. People. Say. Nice. Things. About. You."

"Not a morale boost you moron. A physical one. I need to see through that window."

"That window is very high. I do not think you are tall enough."

"I know. I need you to help me look through it."

"I am not tall enough either. Besides, my head is round. That window is square."

"Come here you." Kankuro took his chakra strings and elevated Naruto into the air. "What do you see?" Kankuro called up at him.

"I see...a room."

"And? What's in the room?"

"I see some walls...and some ceilings. WAIT! Just one ceiling. Can I come down now?"

Kankuro deactivated his chakra strings and Naruto fell to the ground.

"Itae." Naruto was rubbing his head where he landed. "What was that for?"

"You told me to let you down." Kankuro smirked.

"Whatever. Let's go." And Naruto, Hinata, Kankuro, Gaara, Neji, and Tenten went off to find more rides. Meanwhile, Kiba, Kumi, and Akamaru were lost.

"What do you mean we're lost?" Kumi asked Kiba angrily. "You're supposed to have an awesome sense of smell. Can't you smell you way back?"

"I would, if there weren't so many different scents throwing me off!" Kiba shot back at her. Akamaru whined. "I know Akamaru, we'll try to find some food. I promise. Hey I smell something this way." And so, Kiba gets them even more lost.

Shino was being dragged around by Miharu, who was staring in awe at all the rides.

"Come on Shino-kun! Let's try the rapids!" Miharu pulled Shino in line for the rapids. Chiaki followed behind.

They all got in the boat, and the ride started. they went up the hill slowly, then went down really fast. Miharu and Chiaki both screamed, covering their faces with the water, and even Shino looked like he was having a good time. They went through some turns and tunnels, and came out soaking wet.

"That was great! What next? What next?" Miharu was jumping up and down, looking for another ride.

"Let's just get dry first, then we'll deal with the rides." Chiaki suggested.

"Ok!" Miharu grabbed onto Shino's arm and started pulling him around again. They sat out in the sun eating ice cream, waiting for their clothes to dry.

"This turned out to be the funnest mission ever!" Miharu commented, licking her strawberry ice cream.

"Yeah, it is." Chiaki licked her chocolate ice cream. "There's nothing like this back in the Mist."

"I'm going to miss it when we have to return." Miharu said sadly.

"You should try to visit more often then." Shino put his hand on her shoulder.

"Thanks Shino-kun! I knew you cared about me!" Miharu was suddenly happy again and licking her ice cream.

"You like that girl don't you?"

"I don't know Okkuuko. We've been friends for a long time. Maybe I do."

"You know you do. Why else would you, the anti-social Shino be friends with her in the first place?"

"Because our clans are rivals."

"You keep thinking that. You'll find out you care about her more than you realize."

Shino thought for a while about that. Until Miharu and Chiaki finished their ice cream and dragged Shino to go on more rides.

Shikamaru and Ino were wandering around, looking for something to do. Well, Ino was at least. Ino saw a rollercoaster and decided that she wanted to go on it. When she told Shikamaru, you can guess his answer.

"How troublesome."

"Aww, come on Shikamaru! It'll be fun!"

"It's too troublesome."

"Please Shikamaru? At least do it for me." Ino put on a sad face and looked straight into Shikamaru's eyes.

Shikamaru sighed. "Women." he muttered and let himself get pulled in line.

They got into the front cart of the rollercoaster, and it instantly shot out of the station. Ino was screaming, waving her hands in the air, a huge smile on her face. Shikamaru looked over at Ino.

"It may be troublesome coming up here, but Ino looks really cute when she's smiling like that." Shikamaru smiled.

When the ride was over, everyone got off, some wanting to go on again. Ino was leaning on a rail, panting.

"That...was...so...FUN!" Ino managed to get the words out.

"Yeah, it was great." Shikamaru was looking at Ino, smiling.

"Wh-why are you looking at me like that?" Ino blushed.

"It's nothing. Let's go." Shikamaru slowly walked away with his hands in his pockets. Ino followed.

"Does Shikamaru like me?" Ino thought to herself. "Do I like him back? What about Sasuke-kun? Was he just some silly crush? He may be really cute and all, but he doesn't really pay any attention to me, or any of the girls who like him. Maybe I should give up on him. Who knows. Maybe Shikamaru will be better." Ino kept thinking to herself, until she tripped and started falling. She closed her eyes, but she never felt the impact of the ground. She opened her eyes to find Shikamaru holding her, smiling.

"You okay Ino?"

Ino nodded, blushing.

"Try to stay on your feet next time." Shikamaru helped her up and gave her a light kiss on the forehead, causing both to blush furiously. Ino looked at the ground, avoiding eye contact with Shikamaru. Then she shlowly looked up, seeing Shikamaru still smiling and looking at her.

"Hey, you want some ice cream?" Shikamaru asked her, pointing behind him at an ice cream place.

Ino nodded, and started walking to the ice cream stop. Then suddenly, she felt her fingeres being laced with Shikamaru's and looked at him, shocked. Shikamaru just kept smiling and they both went to get ice cream, hand in hand.

Saeki and Keisuke were walking around, waving at fan girls, checking on the condition of the rides, eating ramen, etc. Then they split up and went to o their own thing. Saeki, still holding Ken in his arms, went to go find Temari. Keisuke, being the responsible one, went to finish checking up on the park. He found everything was fine, and then went to relax back at the resort. He was sitting on one of the couches in the loby, head back and both arms over the back of the couch. He satthere for a while, until a girl came in and went to the desk. She got a key for her room, and looked around and saw Keisuke sitting there. The girl had black hair that went past her shoulders and were layered in the front. Her eyes were also black. Actually she was wearing all black. She went over to Keisuke, put her bags down and sat on the couch opposite him.

"Hi! I'm Natsuko. What's your name?"

"Keisuke." Keisuke was still staring at the ceiling.

"Are you staying here?"

"No, my parents own this resort."

"Oh really? That must be cool, living in a resort."

"Yeah it is, especially the part that me and aniki own the amusement park."

"You OWN the amusement park! But you only look around 13! How could you own an amusement park!"

"We made it, hired the workers, it's not that hard. Adults aren't the only ones who can own big things."

"Oh that's cool. Well I guess i'll see you around."

"I guess."

Natsuko walked to her room. Keisuke sat up and looked in the direction she went.

"No way, she got the haunted room? Heh, sucks for her. Should I warn her about it?" Keisuke thought for a while. "Nah" and with that, he went to go find some ramen.

SR: Finally! I'm done with the chapter! That took forever to finish!

Saeki: Well are you sure that's twice as long as the last one?

SR: It's close enough.

Keisuke: You should have a pretty good idea of most of the pairings, but if you're still unsure, they are NaruHina, SasuSaku, NejiTen, ShikaIno, KibaKumi, ShinoRLN, ChoujiIHN, SaekiTema, KeiNCB, and I think that's all.

Saeki: RLN is Miharu, IHN is Chiaki, and NCB is Natsuko.

SR: Now that we have that all cleared up, please review! Remember, more reviews means faster updates. I'm getting around 10 reviews per chapter, so more than that means faster (12+), less than that means slower 8-), and around that means normal 8-12).

Keisuke: And this is our first time writing a fic, so if the romance sucked at all, please forgive us and keep reading. It'll get better as we get experience.

Saeki: Whose idea was it to make a haunted room?

SR and Keisuke: Yours.

Saeki. Oh yeah. Haha. Oh well. Review! Oh and we need some feedback. Go to our author's page an scroll down to the poll.
