Episode 5

"But I want the right one!" Sakura yelled at Ino. The two had been going at it for the last 30 minutes arguing over who would brush Lee's eyebrows.

"But I thought you wanted the left one!" Ino screamed angrily, eyes popping out.

"You get the left one and I get the right one. Let's settle it at that." Sakura snapped at her platinum blonde rival.

"That's not fair!" Ino protested. She was just about ready to strangle Sakura.

"Ino find Shikamaru and Chougi! Neji and Hinata are taking so long. We'll just do your scene first!"

Sakura smiled evilly at Ino. "Well the director's calling you!" I guess I'll have to brush Lee's eyebrows all myself!" The pink haired Ninja laughed triumphantly.

Ino stuck her tongue out at Sakura in return. "We'll just see next time!" Reluctantly the platinum blonde ninja went about looking for her teammates.

"Lee are you ready!" Sakura squealed happily. "Huh? Where'd he go?" Ino and Sakura had been fighting so long that they hadn't notice that Lee had already left them.

Sakura searched frantically for Lee. The only other person around was Temari, she was sitting on a chair reading a magazine. "Hey! Temari! Did you see where Lee went?"

Temari lazily looked up from her magazine. "Lee? He left about ten minutes ago. He went that way towards Sasuke's dressing room." She pointed to where Lee went and then resumed reading her magazine.

"Thanks!" Sakura thanked Temari and then quickly made her way towards Sasuke's dressing room.

As Sakura made her way, someone called her. "Sakura!" The pink haired ninja stopped in her tracks and turned around to see who called her. Standing behind her was her silver haired teacher, Kakashi. I've got you now Sakura. You'll never escape my plan! I will eliminate you! This is the end for you!

Somewhere else...

"It's under there!" Kankurou squeaked at his red haired brother as he pointed to his bed. Gaara stared at the bed covered with a green dinosaur bed sheet and gulped. He had promised to his brother that he would fight the boogieman under his bed, there was no turning back.

"Don't worry Kankurou! I'll fight the boogieman and make sure he never bothers you again." Gaara assured Kankurou even though he wasn't so sure himself. "You stay here and I'll you know check it out."

Gaara slowly made his way towards his brother's bed. With all his courage, he grabbed the corner of the bed sheet. He gulped and with one swift movement lifted the bed sheet. The red haired ninja took a deep breathe and stuck his head under the bed. Suddenly Gaara was jerked under the bed.

Gaara screamed like a little girl. "OH MY GOSH! I"M GONNA DIE!" Gaara's muffled screams filled the whole room.

Kankurou stared in horror at his bed that was shaking and jerking violently. Kankurou was starting to panic there was only one thing to do. "Mommy. I want my mommy." Kankurou rolled up in a ball in the corner of the room and started to cry for his mommy. He tried to block out his brother's screams.

Suddenly a struggling Gaara emerged from under the bed. His clothes were all ripped, his hair was a mess, and dirt covered his face and body. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" He ran out of the room screaming his head off.

"Gaara, don't leave me!" Kankurou yelled as he quickly followed his screaming brother.

Meanwhile...

Shikamaru, Tenten, and Hinata made their way to where Neji was last rolling. They found the paranoid boy rolled up in a ball rocking back and forth in a dark corner.

"Here we are and look it's Neji!" Tenten pointed to the dark corner.

"Old MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O...and on his farm he had some ducks E-I-E-I-O...with a quack quack here..." Neji sang quietly to himself.

"My, our Neji really does have a swell singing voice." Shikamaru commented at Hinata and Tenten as he listened to Neji quack.

"...quack quack there, here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack..." Neji continued.

Quickly he made his way to where Neji was singing. "Neji! I made this just for you!" Shikamaru said as he held up the scarf.

Neji stopped his singing and stared hard at Shikamaru and the scarf. "Shi...Shika...Shikamaru!" He screamed and started to claw at the wall behind him, trying to escape.

"I made it just for you and it even has your initials!" Shikamaru wrapped the scarf around tightly around Neji's neck. Maybe a little too tight. The scarf was wrapped so tightly that Neji's eyes were popping out and he was having a hard time breathing.

Neji stopped scratching the wall behind him and started to claw at the yellow scarf that was choking him. "Help me! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" Neji managed to scream. He ended up on the floor wrestling with the piece of yellow clothes around his neck. "Get it off! Get if off!" He choked out with great difficulty.

"You like it you really like it!" Shikamaru exclaimed happily as he watched Neji roll on the floor.

"How is this suppose to get Neji to the stage again?" Hinata asked as she watched Neji rolling on the floor.

Tenten shrugged and turned her attention from Neji to Hinata. "I don't know...I just thought that maybe Shikamaru could chase Neji to the stage or something."

"I guess there's only one thing left to do." Hinata said to Tenten.

"Leave Neji and Shikamaru then go out for coffee?" Tenten answered calmly.

"I was going to say slap Neji and drag him unconscious to the stage, but that sounds good too." With that Tenten and Hinata left the Neji and Shikamaru and headed for the stage exit.

Will Neji be choked to death? What the heck is under Kankorou's bed? What does Kakashi have planned for Sakura?

Tune in next time...
