Train Ride, or Death Ride?

Everyone stared at the train and walked in. This train. . will lead them to their special mission.

"N-Naruto-kun, will you sit by me?" Hinata asked.

"Of course Hinata-chan!" Naruto said.

"Sasuke-kun, wanna sit together?" Sakura asked cheerfully.

"I guess, come on," he said as he grabbed her things, held her hand, and walked her up the train steps.

"Shika-kun! Everyone's getting on! Come on!" Ino screamed and pulled Shikamaru, who was forced to sit by her.

"Gai-sensei! I shall miss you, and make you proud!" Lee said hugging his teacher.

"Oh Lee I know you will!" Gai said. "Now get on that train!"

"Yes Gai-sensei!" Lee screamed and ran on the train.

"Tenten," Neji said.

"Yeah, I'm coming," Tenten said still a little out of it.

Slowly, the train had left Konoha, the teachers waving good bye to their students as it slowly went on it's way. The speed was gradually increasing and had come to the right pace. The view was absolutely gorgeous, as the sun slowly rising shined different colors upon the trees within the forest. Each little creature getting a glimpse of the speeding vehicle. Slowly though, the forest had gone away, and was now pretty much in the middle of no where. You could say, they were in a desert, the sun a little higher, shining over nothing but sand. It still gave the young children time to speak to one another.

"Ha ha! My scissors has triumphed over your puny paper!" Lee hollered, as once again, he beat naruto in a game of rock paper, scissors.

"Oh best two out of three bushy brows!" Naruto screamed.

"Oh, there they go again," Sakura sighed. "Sometimes I wonder why those two compete so much."

"To prove who is more powerful," Sasuke said while staring out the window.

"Oh, I see,"Sakura said and looked away. "I guess, I'll never understand that."

"You already have with Ino,"Sasuke said and stared at her. He leaned over and whispered something in her ear, "I think I like you more though."

Sakura looked at Sasuke and blushed. "T-thanks."

Sasuke just smirked at her reaction.

"Oh look at those two how cute!" Ino squealed pointing at Sasuke and Sakura.

"Back off Ino!" Sakura said while blushing.

"Aww how cute, she's all red in the face," Ino said.

"Y-you're just jealous because my boyfriend is actually a nice guy, and not lazy!" Sakura said.

"Why you, I outta!" Ino started but was cut off.

"Just shut up! Both of you!" Tenten said and then looked back out the window.

"No need to have a fit Tenten," Ino murrmered.

"It's cold," Sakura said, she was the first to notice the train was getting colder.

"Y-yeah, weird," Kiba said starting to shiver.

Slowly, the windows started having frost on them and the floors were covered in ice. The walls were ice as well and the ceiling had ice sickles coming from the top. The whole train was growing colder and colder. Everyone started getting closer and huddled.

"W-what's going on?" Hinata said. She was now wearing Naruto's jacket.

"I dunno," Tenten said.

"I'm going to find out," Sasuke said and ran out one of the doors.

"I'm going too," Neji said and followed Sasuke.

"And me," Lee said.

"Don't leave me out of this!" Naruto screamed and followed.

"All right, I'm staying here, so I can devise a plan on how to keep warm until the others find out what's wrong," Shikamaru said. "We have to stay close."

"Okay!" Ino screamed and glomped Shikamaru.

"Ino!" Shikamaru said blushing. "eehemm, anyways, get all the blankets on this train, since we're the only ones riding, and bring them here."

"I'll go! Come on Kiba, Hinata, and Sakura," Tenten screamed.

"Shino, what are you doing?" Shikamaru asked.

"I'm seeing if my bugs can locate where all this cold weather is coming from," Shino said.

"Right," Shikamaru said. He reached into his bag and pulled out a carefully packaged tent. He had built it just in time to see Tenten and Sakura holding all the blankets.

"It was easier to find them with Akamaru smelling the cotton and Hinata using her Byakugun to locate them," Sakura said.

"Well, everyone in, now!" Shikamaru said. They all crammed in.

All of them had at least two blankets on them, they were all just sitting there quietly, until somebody broke the awkward silence.

"Oh! I don't want to die in a train freezing to death!" Ino screamed.

"We just have to trust them," Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten said at the same time.

With Sasuke,Neji,Lee, and Naruto

"Strange, the closer we get towards the front of the train, the warmer it gets," Neji said.

"Good thing we weren't on the last part then!" Naruto said smiling.

"Yes, I agree," Lee said.

They had kept on running until they had reached the man running the train.

"Alright! What are you doing?" Sasuke said.

"Trying to kill you of course," the man said smirking.

"How dare you say that!" Lee hollered.

"Why, as you scream at me now, the cold air keeps coming faster and faster at your friends," the man said.

"W-who are you?" Naruto asked shocked and angry.

"Why, I'm a man, sent to destroy you, but you can call me, Jukenshu, your killer," the man said.

"Why you!" Naruto screamed and tried throwing a punch, the man dissapeared.

"No match for me!" Jukenshu screamed.

"Byakugun!" Neji screamed, he was looking for the man. "Lee, he's right above you!"

"Got it!" screamed and threw a kick at the man, who reappeared on the ground.

"Impressive but. .." he was cut off.

"Fire ball jutsu!" Sasuke screamed and the man was burning. Suddenly, it turned to wood, and the wood burned, and the train stopped where it was supposed to.

"So, it was on auto pilot the whole time, and that was just a puppet," Sasuke said.

"Apparently, somebody was testing us," Neji said.

"Well, this school is going to be interesting," Naruto said.
