Sasuke threw another kunai at Kankuro and Kakashi, it landed in the fire. They looked up with a worried look

"What's that?" Kankuro stood up and got his Karasu out

"Stop!" Temari got out of the tent and urged Kankuro not to use it "We don't know what it is," everyone heard the shouting and they got out of their tents. Everyone stood around the fire, gazing at each tree, look at the kunai which lay in the fire.

"What happened?" Sakura asked

"Looks like we're under an attack," Gaara got out his sand gourd and slumped it on his back

"Gaara, what are you going to do?"

"Everyone get back, I'll sort this out," He told them to back away

"But Gaara!" Kankuro shouted

"Leave it!" he backed away and Gaara walked off into the forest

"Shit!" Sasuke whispered to himself, her threw another kunai at Gaara, the sand blocked it away

"Fuck! Shit!" The famous Uchiha heir did some seals to reveal a blast of fire, his favourite move, but this was easily blocked by Gaara. Gaara did a few seals. Suddenly, Sasuke felt a tight grip on his leg, he looked down to see Gaara's sand pulling him towards the red haired boy.

"So what are you playing at huh?" laughed Gaara

"Get off me you prick!" the sand began to go to Sasuke neck, and it started to choke him

"Stop Gaara!" Sakura shouted, appearing from the trees

"I thought you didn't like him?" Gaara questioned.

"But he's still a friend!" Sakura went to Sasuke and helped him up Sasuke grinned at Gaara's face

"Fine, do whatever!" Sakura lay him down on the log and she smiled

"Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine, I thought you never liked me, since you're going out with Gaara,"

"When did I say Gaara and I were going out?"

"I just thought, the way you're always together,"

"Well, I realised something there's more to life than a boyfriend!" she laughed and walked away, Sasuke just stared at her until she disappeared into the tent.

"Wow, I wonder what will happen to Gaara, when he hears this!" Sasuke got up and sat by the fire.

"Sakura…" Gaara sat down beside Sakura

"Yes,"

"I heard that you told Sasuke, that we weren't going out, but I thought you liked me… a lot,"

"I did, I've realised there's much more to life then boyfriends, anyway I have my family to look apon,"

"Talking about your family, your mum has gone on a mission, to help your father, she told me to tell you, she's going to leave for a few weeks, so she told me to take care of you… I thought that you liked me, so I wanted to protect you with all my heart,"

"I understand, but I'm not ready, I'm 14 and I need to focus on my education, I'm still to young, even if I am mature!" Gaara laughed

"Fine, so we're just mates now?"

"Yea," Sakura got out of the tent and walked over to Sasuke

"So what happened, did you tell Gaara?" Sasuke questioned her

"I said, I'm not ready for a boyfriend yet. He also told me that mum has gone on a mission to help dad, so I'm going to be lonely for a few weeks,"

"Right I see," Sasuke feeling like a fool

"It's okay!"

"Thanks, so what are we going to do now?"

"Well, lets get this camp over with!"

"But I don't have any stuff!"

"Well surely the other boys will help!" Sakura made her way back to her tent and she got everyone else out of theirs as well. Sasuke just sat there looking at the fire, until they came and sat next to him.

"So this has been a very exciting sleepover I have to say!" TenTen laughed

"You're right!" Neji continued

"Well lets roast some marshmallows!" Naruto shouted, Kakashi and Sakura got out their marshmallows, Sakura got out 4 bags of white fluffy marshmallows, while Kakashi just brought out two bags of pink small ones, which didn't look as good as Sakuras.

"Where's the sticks, I can't burn my hands!" Ino screamed

"Well, find some and wipe them down then, how troublesome Ino!" Shikamaru smirked

"Fine, but you help me find them!"

"Fine!" Shikamaru got up with Ino and they started to collect the sticks. They walked deep into the forest

"Don't you think we're going a bit too far?" Ino asked Shikamaru

"Nah, we'll be okay, I'm here!"

"But, your shadow moves won't work in the night," Ino giggled

"I have my other strength!"

"So what's that then, eh?"

"Well…. Its..um…wait… it's to," Shikamaru grabbed Ino and pinned her to the floor, Ino was blushing bright red "It's to love you with all my heart!"

"Shika!" Shikamaru laughed, and got off Ino and helped her back up "Let's get back to the camp, we can collect sticks on the way," so they began to walk back to camp.

"Ino and Shikamaru have been gone for long," Sakura realised, but they came running out of the forest "There you are!"

"Sorry, we just got caught up in something," Shikmaru sighed, they all stared at him "What?"

"Well, here are your sticks!" Ino shouted

"Thank you!" Sakura took the sticks and started to wipe them

"So where are the marshmallows, I'm hungry!" Naruto grabbed the bag and began eating them, everyone starred at him

"um.. you need to share!" Kiba said, Naruto gave the marshmallows to Kiba who put them on the sticks and handed them to everyone

"Th…thank..y..you…ki..ba..-k..un," Hinata said twitching her fingers

"No problem!" he gave another one to Naurot "Hey Naruto, roast them in the fire, they taste good," so Naruto put his marshmallow in the fire, he wanted a very long time, not noticing his marshmallow was burnt to crisp

"Wait, my marshmallow!" Naruto cried, everyone laughed "It's not funny!"

"Well, it was your fault for leaving it in the fire for to long!" Sakura laughed

"Whatever!" Naruto sighed as he got up and went into his tent "I'm going to get some ramen!"

"But how can you make ramen?" Shikamaru asked

"You'll see!" Naruto came out with pots of Ramen, bottles of water and a pot "There, now lets get some of this water boiling,"

"I never knew you were that smart dobe!" Sasuke snickered

"Shutup, bastard!"

"Dork!"

"No I aint!"

"Yes,"

"NO,"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"NO!"

"YES!" Naruto shouted, everyone started at him

"You said yes you're a dobe," Choji sighed

"No I didn't!"

"Whatever you say, dobe!" Sasuke laughed, Naruto was about to say something but he was cut off by Sakura

"Can't you two ever shut up, you're like a bunch of old ladies," she sighed and got up to help Naruto "Can someone help Naruto and me, It's heavy," Temari got up and she carried the bottles of water. They sat back down and Naruto opened the water and splashed it into the pot

"So who wants what flavour?" Naruto asked

"Chicken," Sakura smiled, she took the chicken flavour out of Naruto's hands

"Have you got prawn?" Ino asked

"Yea, sure thing, anyone want Prawn as well, there's two left,"

"I'll have one," Shikamaru took one out of his hands

"Pass one over," Kankuro opened his hands, and Naruto chucked one at him

"There's three Beef, two lamb, five more chickens and four vegetable,"

"Wow, such a variety!" Shino gasped

"Yea, hey I can't be bothered to ask you all, so can you like get them yourselves,"

"I'll boil some water," Kakashi took the pot and water and began boiling the water, a few minutes later of flavour selecting, Kakashi poured the water into peoples ramen "So everyone got a flavour?"

"Yea," Kiba said clutching onto his ramen cup, waiting for the water

"Sure is cold tonight, did all of you bring a spare jumper?"

"I have some spare if you want, and they aint all pink," Sakura laughed "I've got two of them, one for myself and another one, does anyone not have a jumper?"

"I don't," Sasuke said reaching over to Sakura

"Here, at least its blue and it matches you top," Sakura laughed and handed over the Jumper, Sasuke took it out of her hands, and put it on him "A bit tight, you alright?"

"Yea, I'm fine,"

"Sasuke looks like a girl!" Naruto laughed, and got out his camera and took a picture

"HEY! Why are you taking pictures?" Sasuke got frustrated and strangled Naruto

"I said you look like a girl, it's a memento!" he said tyring to break free form Sasuke grip

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke strangled him harder

"Hey you two stop!" Sakura shouted "You two are always nagging each other, give some space," they nodded and Sasuke put Naruto down.

"So…" Neji said rolling his eyes

"I'm so bored," TenTen said fiddling around the with kunai which laid in the fire "I thought this camp would be exciting, where's the old man anyway?"

"I was just wondering that," Kiba stroked his dog and Hinata stroked it aswell

"So where is he?" Naruto asked

"I dunno dobe," Sasuke sighed

"Don't you call me d," Sakura stared at them

"Do you have fight again, please stop!"

"Sorry, Sakura-chan," Naruto gazed as he ate his Ramen

"Talk about Kakashi, wasn't he here just a minute ago?" Ino said twiddling on the spoon

"Maybe he's gone!" Kiba laughed

"No, that means we're stuck here in the middle of a scary forest with BEARS!" Ino cried, Shikamaru laughed

"O.. how troublesome,"

"THAT'S ALL YOU SAY!" Ino grumbled "Troublesome, troublesome and more troublesome,"

"Hey look at the sky, why is it different colours?" Shino said quickly changing the subject

"It's… so..so…b…beau..tiful.." Hinata looked in the sky and colours swooped around the stars and moon

"They look like…" Naruto gazed "We're under attack by aliens… RUN!"

"No, its not!" Gaara sighed

"What is it?" Temari nudged Gaara

"It comes every 50 years, it's the gathering of charka, from all the countries, to keep any harm from entering the other countries," Gaara explained, but Naruto thought it was aliens

"So how you know this?" Sasuke grinned

"I was taught, my father said to me, when I was little, that he participated in it," Gaara sulked "I wish I could, only the kage's took part in it, they had the most skilled charka, that's why I need to be stronger!"

"That explains why Kakashi is gone?" Neji asked or said confused

"Maybe, but I'm not sure, he's only a jounin," Gaara sighed

"We should really go looking for him, he can't leave us here on our own!" Ino screamed

"Well, lets go!" Naruto shouted, everyone got up and went into their tents, Sasuke just wanted outside

"W..we..h..have..to..pack.." Hinata said

"Right!" Kankuro stop the fire and got his sleeping bag and help put down the tent

"You know, all that work to put up the tent is wasted!" Ino sighed

"Troublesome ya know!" Shikamaru stared at the charka flowing in the air, Ino rolled her eyes as she put down the tent. They all packed there things and they were ready to go.

"So which way?" TenTen asked

"Anyone got a map?" Neji replied

"No," they all chorused.

"I remember the always do the chakra gathering in the south, so we have to go to the south, which is this way," Gaara pointed and they strolled through woods.
