Chapter Seven:
"GET UP SAKURA!"
"Five more minutes…"
"GET UP NOW!"
"I don't want to,"
"GET UP!"
"Leave me alone,"
"MOVE YOUR BUTT!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…TENTEN PUT THE KUNAI DOWN!"
"NO!"
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…SOMEBODY SAVE ME!"
'What the heck is going on?' Sasuke thought as he jumped out of bed. He ran and opened his door to the image of Sakura running around in her pajama's with Tenten chasing her fully dressed. Tenten held a kunai in her hand and was yelling something at Sakura who just ran faster. 'What are they doing?'
"Hey, Forehead girl, Ten can you be any louder?" Ino shouted coming out of her room. Her hair was wet and she was wearing a large tee-shirt and jeans. In one hand she held a brush.
"Look who is talking Ino-pig, coming out here and yelling at us," Sakura yelled back stopping the chase in-between her and Tenten.
"Guys I-I th-think you should s-stop," Hinata said appearing in front of her door. She was fully dressed and her hair was dry.
"Fine, fine but Sakura started it," Tenten said sticking her tongue out and walking back to her room.
"I started it! You were the one who came into my room shouting "GET UP, GET UP!"," Sakura yelled at Tenten's closed door. Seeing that her friend wasn't emerging she stomped back to her room and slammed the door.
"Does that usually happen?" Sasuke asked looking at Ino and Hinata who were still standing in the hall. They jumped when he started talking, they hadn't seen him before.
"Yeah…that was all so troublesome," Shikamaru said walking out of his room wearing loose jeans and a skin tight green shirt with a black vest overtop. He was rubbing his eyes, and he looked to be about half awake.
"LOUD was more like it," Naruto shouted walking out of his room still clad in his pajamas.
"I hope they won't do that every morning," Neji said pushing off the wall that he had been watching the whole thing from. He was completely dressed in loose black jeans, a tight light blue long sleeved shirt, and matching DC's.
"Um…you can expect that to happen just about every morning. You get used to it after awhile. It is kind of like having your own personal alarm clock. Tenten wakes before any of us to do some early morning training and then comes and wakes up Sakura. Usually Hinata and I are already awake but if we aren't we are when those two are finished," Ino said as she started brushing her long hair.
Shikamaru groaned and started towards the kitchen, and Neji followed soon after. Sasuke and Naruto went back to their rooms to get dressed. Hinata went downstairs to make breakfast, she highly doubted that the boys would do it, and Ino went back into her room to fix her hair up.
In the kitchen…
"They are weird. I mean who the heck yells so early in the morning," Shikamaru said sitting on one of the bar stools.
"Hn," Neji said sitting next to him and closing his eyes.
"W-what w-would y-you like f-f-for breakf-fast?" Hinata asked walking into the kitchen. She put a purple apron over her clothes and waited.
"I don't care. Maybe eggs and ham," Shikamaru said turning his attention to the window nearby.
"Hn," Neji said not opening his eyes.
Hinata sweat dropped and got out the needed ingredients and started cooking.
Thirty minutes later…
The remaining girls and guys had come down and finished breakfast. Tenten offered to do the dished quickly and Sakura said she would help.
"Why don't we do this the fast way?" Tenten said with a mischievous look in her eyes.
"Why not?" Sakura said also gaining that evil glint in her eye.
"Oh no…not again. Guys back away to a safe distance, and find cover," Ino said running to the kitchen table, flipping it on its side and hiding behind it. Hinata quickly followed her. Their head peaked over the side to watch.
"Why should we do that?" Sasuke asked confused. Naruto nodded in agreement.
"I j-just would," Hinata said looking fearfully at the two girls by the sink.
"Ok, lets get this over with," Tenten said pulling something from her back pocket.
"Lets," Sakura said and also pulled something from her pocket. Tenten's hands shot out and wire wrapped around the dirty dishes on the table. She pulled and the dishes came flying back at them to land in the sink with a loud CRACK. Tenten turned on the water and started to do some hand seals. She whispered something under her breath and the water started to turn in the sink. First it was gentle waves but then it started becoming more violent until it looked like a miniature tsunami. After about two minutes and water flying everywhere except for on those two Tenten released the jutsu.
"My turn," Sakura said cracking her fingers. She then flung wire out around the now clean dishes and flung them into the air. She did a few hand seals and a whirlwind of air came into the kitchen. The dishes started spinning as if caught in a miniature tornado, but Sakura released the jutsu after a few seconds and placed the dishes neatly stacked on the counter.
"All done. We can go now," Sakura said smiling and looking around at the people in the kitchen. "What?"
Ino and Hinata's head's were still peaking from the table, and when they saw that the dishes were done they stood up and put the table up right again. The boy's mouths were in the O shape, and they were dripping wet. Sasuke's hair was sticking to his face and half of his shirt clung to his body. Neji's hair was dry but his clothes had gotten the worst of the water, and his clothes were sticking to his body. Shikamaru's ponytail had come out and his hair was hanging damply around his face. He was the driest out of the three because he had hid behind Naruto. Naruto was completely soaked from head to toe, water dripping off everywhere.
Tenten grinned widely at the boys appearances, and Sakura had to put a hand up to her mouth to keep from out right laughing.
"Hell," Sasuke said getting over his shock and looking down at his clothes. 'They are going to pay for this!' he thought.
"Troublesome," Shikamaru said and tried to put his hair back in a ponytail to no avail.
"Annoying," Neji hissed and glared at Tenten.
"That was so…totally awesome!" Naruto yelled with a huge grin on his face. Tenten and Sakura grinned back, and then turned to Hinata and Ino.
"Well, we should get going," Sakura said looking down at her watch
"Yeah…um…are you guys going to go to school like that?" Tenten asked with a slight frown on her face. "Wet and all,"
She received glares from three boys and a grin from another. "Ok, well, I'll take that as a no. So we will wait for you by the front door, and then we can go," Tenten said quickly and exited the kitchen with her friends in tow.
"They are going to pay for that," Sasuke said glaring at the doors the girls had just left.
"Yes they are," Neji said also glaring at the door.
"How troublesome…but yes I suppose we should get them back," Shikamaru said still trying to get his hair under control.
"Are you guys sure? I mean it didn't look like they did it on purpose," Naruto said looking confused.
"Are you siding with them dobe? Even though you are completely soaked and it is all their fault?" Sasuke hissed at him and cracked his fingers in a threatening manner.
"No teme, I am just saying that I don't think they did it on purpose," Naruto said and quickly added "But I will help you get them back,"
"Good, we can meet at lunch to decided what we are going to do," Sasuke said.
"Hey are you guys coming? We are going to be late you big jerks! Some of us do need to get to school on time," Ino yelled from the front door.
"Coming," Shikamaru called back and they all went to their rooms to change or in Shikamaru's case put his hair back up.
The walk to school was silent. Sakura had her usual stack of books in her arms, Ino and Hinata were quiet, and Tenten played with a slender dagger. Sasuke and Neji had their hands in their pockets, Shikamaru's were behind his head, and even Naruto didn't dare say a word.
When they arrived at the school, the usual mob of fan girls greeted them and the girls had to fight their way out. They left the boys in the center.
"Do you think we should help them?" Hinata asked quietly watching as five girls tried to hang off of Naruto's neck at once.
The other three girls looked at each other and then started laughing.
"Nah. They would never help us if we needed it," Tenten said watching as a girl tried to kiss Neji on the cheek.
"Yeah, remember we are still in war. They are probably going to pull a lot more pranks on us, especially now that we live with them," Ino said as a girl wrapped her arms around Shikamaru's mid section.
"You have good points…but still…," Sakura said frowning as ten girls hung onto Sasuke's arms.
"They look so helpless," Hinata said softly.
Tenten sighed and looked at her friends they were all looking at the four boys getting smothered to death in the middle of the fan girl pile. Taking a deep breath she pushed her sleeves up and pushed her way into the pile. The other girls looked confused for awhile but then took Tenten's lead and followed her.
"What are we going to do?" Naruto yelled to his friends over the fan girls screams and shrieks.
"I don't know…Shikamaru do you have a plan?" Sasuke yelled.
"No…I can't think right now. This is all too troublesome," Shikamaru yelled.
"I don't think we will be getting out of this one in awhile," Neji yelled.
"Where the heck did those girls go?" Sasuke yelled.
"They probably saved themselves," Neji yelled back.
The boys were so busy trying to find a way out of the fan-girl-torture-pile that they didn't notice the four girls coming up.
"Oh Neji, won't you go out with me?" a girl next to him asked.
"No," Neji said flatly trying to pry her off his arm.
"Ah, why not?" she asked in a whine. It made him flinch.
"No," he said again trying to ignore her and all of the other brainless twits that surrounded him. He didn't even see Tenten sneak up behind him.
Suddenly he was tackled and lying on the ground. Tenten was beside him.
"Wha" he started but Tenten placed a hand on his mouth.
"Shhh…I don't know how long this genjutsu will work. When I release the jutsu I need you to do a henge jutsu into a girl and get out of here. Do you understand?" Tenten asked and Neji nodded. "Good, we will try to be to class as soon as we can,"
"Wait, what are you going to do?" he asked. Tenten smiled at him but remained quiet.
"Ready?" she asked.
He nodded and she released the genjutsu. He quickly did a henge jutsu like she had asked and he walked through the crowd of girls going unnoticed.
'Why haven't we thought of this before?' Neji thought noticing that nobody tried to stop him but were trying to push past him. 'I wonder what Tenten and the other girls are doing?' he thought. He didn't turn around though but continued to walk out of the mob. When he reached the front door he found three other girls standing there. They looked remotely like his friends.
"Guys?" Neji asked with a questioning gaze.
"Yah?" the blonde asked. He guessed this was Naruto.
"Lets get to class before those fan girls come looking for us," the Sasuke-like girl said.
"Yeah, we can drop the henge when we get safely in class," the Shikamaru-like girl said.
"I wonder what the girls did?" Naruto said.
The other three guys remained quiet as they walked to class but the same question was on their minds as well.
Only a few girls were in the class, the ones that weren't in their fan girl club. Most of the guys were already in class, about three missing. It was five minutes until class started and in those five minutes the three boys arrived. Their fan girls didn't show up and neither did Tenten, Sakura, Hinata, or Ino.
When Kakashi arrived ten minutes after class started he raised an eyebrow at how many girls were missing. He didn't raise any questions, but gave a questioning look to the four guys. They didn't meet his eyes but at different points in the room.
The fan girls came in as one big clump twelve minutes after class started and two minutes after Kakashi had come in. They smiled and apologized for being late and Kakashi dismissed them without further punishment.
Kakashi did roll call, and asked if anybody knew where Tenten, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino were. Nobody did.
'Where are they?' Shikamaru thought looking at the empty seat beside him. 'This is all too troublesome. I need a partner and Ino is probably less troublesome than the rest of them,"
'Where the hell could they be?' Sasuke thought and glanced at their fan girls who seemed to all be wearing evil smirks. He noticed that a few had bruises that had been covered with powder. 'I wonder if they did anything,'
'I hope they didn't do anything stupid,' Neji thought and closed his eyes to meditate. His emotions were bothering him and he wanted to get rid of them. 'Knowing Tenten, they probably did,'
'I hope they are alright,' Naruto thought and started chewing his fingernails. 'Especially Hinata…'
The guy's thoughts were interrupted as the door opened slowly. There stood the four girls…
