Disclaimer: I do not have Naruto in my arsenal of 'own'! And that applies for all future chapters.

Welcome to the most pointless chapter ever, suggestions are welcome.


Shino was in dismay; tomorrow was the funeral of the third Hokage. Sounds like a very sad epic, right? Well, Shino wasn't exactly looking forward to it, not because the third Hokage was getting buried, but his worst nightmare would come alive that day.

"I have to wear… black… With no high collar…" Shino said blankly, looking at what everyone was supposed to wear tomorrow, boys anyways. "WHY?!"

Just then, there was a knock on his door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Geez, did you just scream? "Kiba mocked as he and Hinata appeared at his doorway. They always had a knack of doing that at the worst moments.

"…Hello, Hinata." Shino nodded in Hinata's direction, completely ignoring Kiba.

"Um… Hi Shino." Hinata answered.

"What about me? What am I?" Kiba retorted.

"You? You are very disturbing." Shino answered. Hinata couldn't help but giggle slightly. They fight over stuff like this way too often.

"Anyways, we're supposed to meet Kurenai-Sensei to go over how we're suppose to act at the funeral or something. You'd think they'd take us more seriously." Kiba went on, and the three of them frolicked (not really) off to meet their ever so wonderful instructor (not really) at her mansion, which was basically five seconds away, literally.

"Hey…" Kurenai greeted them.

"Hi…" They answered. Silence.

"So, since tomorrow's the funeral and all, I didn't want you guys to get all upset because those things might turn you, well…" She bit her bottom lip, shifting uncomfortably.

"It's okay, you can say it… 'Because those things can turn you into anti-social freaks like Shino.'" Shino sighed.

"N-No! I-I don't mean that!" Kurenai told him quickly, but they all knew it was true. "Anyways, I thought we'd just have some… fun today, you know? Because it's six in the morning and all…"

"F-fun?" Hinata asked timidly. Kurenai NEVER said anything like this to them. It was just 'Come on! We're not going to let anyone beat us!'

"Fun?" Kiba asked hopefully. "As in the movies?"

"Fun?" Shino asked in a dreaded manner.

"Yes, fun, so let's go get us some breakfast that cost like 10,000 yen a dish." Kurenai cheered. (I think that's like 90 dollars.)

"Yeah!" Kiba and Hinata cheered.

"Whatever." Shino answered, so the happy quartet save one skipped to the fanciest breakfast restaurant in town, and was all happy-happy, until…

"Sigh May I take your order?" The waiter asked, forcing a happy voice, though it came out all wrong.

"Neji? What are you doing here? As a waiter?!" Kiba realized this and burst out laughing. Hinata quickly hid her face behind a menu in fear of her cousin, and Shino just gave him a queer look.

"Shut up and tell me what you want." He growled. You could easily see that he was very vexed ad he was about to break the pen he was holding. "It's not like I want to do this anyways…" He added to himself, but Kiba heard that loud and clear.

"Oh, let me guess, you and your team went here, and in the end you couldn't pay you're bill, right?" Kiba snickered.

"Let's see, we'll take this and this and this and oh! This also, and this and this and… Just give us one of everything!" Kurenai laughed. Neji scribbled this all down and hastily went back to the kitchen.

"U-Um… Do we have enough?" Hinata asked. Silence.

"Kurenai-Sensei, who's paying?" Kiba asked, very afraid of the answer.

"I thought you were." Kurenai answered.

"Me? I thought Hinata was paying!" Kiba gasped.

"I-I though Shino was paying." Hinata whimpered. They all looked at Shino.

"I didn't want to come here anyways." Shino reasoned. "And I though the person who invites was suppose to pay."

"You're food is here. Please enjoy you're breakfast." Neji came back holding everything, and quickly disappeared, VERY unhappy. Obviously he did not mean what he forced himself to say.

Later…

"Welcome to the kitchen, it's nice to have people washing dishes with!" TenTen sighed as she tossed them some dishwashing stuff. "A piece of advice, don't break anything."

Even more later…

"May I take your order?"

"Shino? What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked him.

"Just tell me what you want."

"We'll take everything!" Naruto cheered.

Even more later…

"Okay, now that that's done, where do you guys want to go?" Kurenai happily asked. She didn't have to do anything like washing dishes and such; she was just sitting there chatting with the cooks.

"Home." Shino answered immediately.

"To the movies!" Kiba yelled.

"Um… To get some money just in case we have to pay for something?" Hinata suggested.

"Great idea!" Kurenai commented. Man, being nice sucks… Especially this week…

So off the happy quartet marched to the bank and withdrew um, A LOT of money and ran off to FUN!!!! YAY!!!! Let's take this moment to shed our pity over Shino…

"Um, where are we going?" Hinata asked.

"TO THE MOVIES!!!!!!!!" Kiba hollered.

"Nope! We're going to the beach!!!" Kurenai shouted.

"But I didn't bring my bathing suit." Hinata pointed out.

"Bring? We have MONEY! We can BUY BUY BUY!" Kurenai cheered. My cheeks really hurt from the smiling, uhg…

At the beach…

Hinata happily dove into the water, Kiba followed because doggies and their owners just ADORE water! Well, in his case anyways. Shino was again, just… there…

"Come on Shino! Enjoy the water!" Kurenai laughed as every man within a one-mile radius swarmed over to her.

"No." Shino answered simply and sat on a rock as he watched Kiba and Hinata splash each other.

What? Hey! Don't tell them I can't swim! You don't like water either Hikari, and what made your little mind think Kiba has a pineapple hidden in his beach bag?!

"Come on Shino! Enjoy this wonderful day!!!" Kiba told him as he chased Hinata around.

"No." Shino answered again.

"Please Shino?" Hinata begged.

"…No…" Shino answered. It was hard to deny Hinata, anyone would find that hard.

"Shino!" Kiba protested.

"The final answer is- NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Kiba had snuck up behind him and now Shino was in the water, hurray for Kiba!!! Let's take another moment to pity our great friend…

"Hahahahaha!!!" Kiba laughed in an out-of-control way. "You fell for it, literally!!!"

"KIBA!!!!!!!!"

After the beach… (I have to cover a lot of time people, spare me!)

"Now we go to the MOVIES!!!!!!!!" Kiba cheered.

"I want to go home…" Shino moaned. A fish was still flopping on his head.

"How about lunch?" Hinata suggested.

"Sure! But we ran out of money. That bathing suit cost a fortune…" Kurenai sighed, shaking her empty wallet.

"Um, we could make something and have a picnic." Hinata offered.

"YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!" They all cheered, save Shino and ran off at top speed to the Hyuuga estate, leaving Shino draggled and miserable… And he would have to wear BLACK tomorrow. Think of the miseries!
