Chapter 2:
Oh yar before I forget:
Demon: "Blah"
Inner Sakura:'Blah'
Thoughts: 'Blah'
"Oi, Garra do you and your siblings want to join us for ice skating?" Naruto yelled at the Sand siblings who were leaving the Hokage tower and were admiring the wintry landscape like kids staring at the sweet display in the licorice shop.
"Ice skating?" Garra asked with a hint of curiosity on his face.
"Yup! Yup! Heard from Shurin chan that it is the coolest thing. Neh, Shurin … oh never mind."
"What is this ice skating all about?" the eighteen year old blonde and a seventeen year old guy whose face was painted asked with mild interest.
"You mean you never tried that before Temari san, Kankuro san?" Sakura asked her out of curiosity.
"Nope, back at our home, its just sand and sandstorms." Temari replied.
"Oh ok …" Sakura replied. Inner Sakura: 'Aww, man, no way!'
"Why don't you just let go of me now!" The raven hair boy grumbled as Naruto and Sakura were dragging him by the collar toward the place. They simply ignored him as they led the sand siblings and headed to the designated place.
2 hours later:
"Yatta! We are at the frozen lake!" Naruto cheered so loudly that Sakura and Kakashi sweat dropped at his simplicity as they reached the intent destination, to their surprise, they were not the only ones there, in fact the rest of rookie nine were there.
"No internet, no computer games, no arcade, their television showing nothing but ninjas, no skates at all." A depressed Shurin muttered to herself, not noticing anything before her, earning the comment 'Nuts' from the raven hair guy who was still lying on the ground .
"Oei, Sasuke teme, how can you say that to Shurin chan!" Naruto shouted angrily at Sasuke who simply ignored him, with his mind on something else, Sakura agreed with Naruto.
"WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS IS THIS PLACE!" Shurin bawled out with her hands on her head, scaring Naruto, Gaara, Kankuro and Sakura on the spot before bending down her head with a loud sigh. She remained in that state, until she spotted a pair of familiar metal pieces dangling right in front of her, she slowly looked up and traced them up to the arm of the person holding them.
"Maa, don't get so worked up and can't believe you fell for it." Kakashi chuckled at her expense. Her face continued to remain downwards, as she walked towards him, remaining quiet.
"Maa, are you alright … OUCH!" Kakashi was cut short when a sharp pain course through his left foot, as Shurin stomped on his foot really hard. He grabbed his foot in pain as Shurin left with a satisfied smirk on her face, holding the recently acquired skates.
"Man, really got to love these heeled sandals, really gives the pain factor." Shurin called out cheerfully as she swung the skates, as she headed towards the frozen lake. Before she headed to the frozen lake, she bend down and whispered something to Sakura who in turn blushed at what she whispered to her.
"Ouch that's hurt." A feminine voice rang out of nowhere.
"Huh? Temari chan, Sakura chan did you …" Shurin trailed off when she saw Temari had left the group, and headed toward a boy with a pineapple hairstyle, with a greeting of crybaby and him complaining of his famous trademark 'Troublesome, and bossy blonde', earning a whack on his head from Temari's fan and snowballs on courtesy from Kankuro, whereas Sakura had gotten the skates from the nearby and showing her teammates how to wear the skates. Winter chan: no offense to all blondes.
'Gee, this is really freaky, first a stalker, then perverted teacher and now this voice.' Shurin thought as she tried to attach the skates to her sandals.
"See, Gaara, this is how you make and pitch snowballs." Kankuro informed Gaara, ignoring the 'glare' from their older sister.
Gaara just nodded and was about to make another, when he caught the 'glare' from their sister, and decided to watch Sakura showing Naruto how to put on the skates.
"Awww, man, this is no fun, since we can't torture that brat when Temari is with him." Kankuro grumbled as he watched the 'other brats' in his terms fitting on the skates.
In Gai's team Winter chan: paiseh, I didn't know what's their team number:
"Yosh, my dear students, let's out OUR UNDYING FIRE OF YOUTH AND SKATE WITH ALL OUR MIGHT!" The older guy with a bowl cut hairstyle grinned and gave thumbs up as his teeth gave the familiar pinging sound.
"Yosh Gai sensei, we will do our best!" Lee cried out, also imitating his idol's pose. They then hugged each other.
"Gai sensei!"
"Lee!"
While they are doing 'ahem' male bonding, a sixteen year old guy with white eyes turned to his female teammate who was silently shaking her head, feeling a migraine coming up to her.
"Tenten shall we leave these two idiots and head out to skate?" he asked Tenten.
"Sure, since its has been a long time since I last skated, but hope that you are as good in it as in your martial arts Neji." Tenten replied, Neji smirked back at her.
"You are on."
In Team 8 and Team 10
"Well I didn't know that Shikamaru has girlfriend already." A tough looking guy with a cigarette in his mouth spoke to his gentle looking lady companion besides him as they watched their charges reacquainting to the joys of ice skating and trying to teach the newcomer on how to balance and glide on the skates and seemed to forget about them. One of the female jounin's charges, a boy with two red markings on his face with a large dog besides him skating and howling at the top of their voices. The two jounins looked at them for a while, and then the tough looking guy then turned to his female companion and gave her a roguish smirk.
"So Kurenai, since we are free, and our charges are enjoying themselves, so shall we go somewhere to entertain ourselves?" he asked her, as he slipped his arm around her waist.
"Sure, I do know a place, Asuma." She replied with a smirk on her face, they then left the frozen lake to somewhere else.
After their ranting of 'cough' 'cough' male bonding, Gai noticed that his 'eternal' rival Kakashi was attaching the skates on his feet, whereas Shurin was looking at her skates with interest, trying to ignore their manly bonding. Normally the tough Shurin would utter some swear words without even blinking an eye and make even the grown men cringed at the sound of it, but somehow their male bonding had totally freaked her out even though she had laughed many times at their loony antics in anime but to see them up close is enough for her to remember the time when one of her online friends brought one of a particular male character's relationship to the very highest level, enough to give her the goose bumps for a week. She dared not even looked back for fear of seeing them smooching off.
"Ku kuku, didn't expect you to be that shy, brat." The voice rang out again mocking her at the same time. Shurin scowled angrily as she heard the taunt out of nowhere again. 'One more time I hear it again, I'm going to locate that bloody person and kick his ass hard!'
"Ah, my eternal rival Kakashi and the beautiful flower, we meet once again." Gai grinned, flashing his shiny enamels at them and giving them the thumbs up.
"Huh?" Kakashi answered back after he had finished tying up the laces of the skates to his sandals, whereas Shurin just slowly stepped on the ice and try to balance and glide on the ice.
"Damn you, as expected from my eternal rival, but unexpected from the beautiful flower, I will work harder to beat you, Kakashi, and win the hand of the beautiful flower." Gai wept at the lack of attention on him by his eternal rival. Kakashi was about to take out his perverted porn book to read, when he saw a weepy Gai, he sweat dropped. Shurin was wondering what was going on behind her, but she just dismissed it off her mind.
"Yosh! Let's skate!" Naruto cheered as he immediately rushed out to the frozen lake, couldn't wait to try out this ice skating thing that Shurin told him about. Instead of gliding as graceful as a swan, like he saw the other people did, he slipped and fell flat on his face. Gaara and Kankuro just sweat dropped at Naruto's mishap.
"I think, I will pass." Gaara spoke up after a few minutes passed between them, not noticing Nartuo repeating the same stunt again.
"Same here." Kankuro replied.
Gaara just simply squat down and formed a snowball and hurled it at Kankuro.
"Hey! Not fair!" Kankuro yelled as the snowball landed on him and he made one and hurled it back to his little brother. Both of them spent the time hurling snowballs at each other.
"Kakashi, my eternal rival, I challenge you to a duel!" Gai thundered, pointing at Kakashi who was reading his book with utmost attention.
"What is it?"
"I, Maito Gai, challenge you to …"

Winter chan: Sorry for the late posting and this chapter is a bit lame. Hope you all enjoy it, please review. Well there really is the part when one time when my online friend and I were talking about full metal alchemist, and one very particular online friend talked about the brother relation between these 2 brothers, converting it to a gay relationship and into the highest level that no one ever dared to discuss of that anime again. (I almost forgot, I like to thank those who took the trouble to read and review this story.)
Hyuuga Tenten - Nara Ino: Here's the latest chapter with NejiTen in it, I hope I can type more of them in the next chapter.
lexy499: well I did use skates, but I fell down most of the time. p
