Yeah. So being the smart person that I am, I forgot to add the author's notes. But that's okay, because I'm adding them now.
Thanks everyone for reading! And yeah, we are submitting chapter 3 ASAP. And chapter 4 will be coming not long after. School starts again in like, two weeks and we have a lot of work to do. High school sucks Dx But anyways, I'll try and update as much as possible. And we've been inspired to write another story after this one! Yay! Okay. Whatever. Now to the story.

Ninja's of the Night- Chapter 2
Everybody split off, happy (kind of) with their groups and such. We decided to meet back in the center of the forest. It was getting close to sundown and Emi had ordered the groups to be fast, as to not be caught alone in the dark. We had to search for a place to camp. It was completely obvious that we had no idea where we were.

Temari/Shika/Alyssia
Well, the beginning of their little expedition was pretty silent. Temari was still trying to figure out what her evil plan was. Shikamaru was just silent because he was well… scared. Eventually, they got to the end of the trail they had found. To their great surprise, there was a log bridge crossing the river that was about 10 feet below them. The only way they could prove that it was safe to cross was by throwing Shika on to it and making him go first.
And so he got across safely. Temari sighed in relief and proceeded to cross, but Alyssia pushed her out of the way because she wanted to go first.
"…" Temari refrained from speaking.
"Hehe." Alyssia waited until Shikamaru was enough out of earshot. "Oi, Temari, you know…"
"Know what?"
"You know you have that little thing for Shikamaru…"
"What—NO!" Temari replied defensively.
"Hehe." Alyssia smirked. "You so do have a crush on him."
"No I don't,"
"Yes you do,"
"No I don't,"
"Yes you do,"
"No I don't,"
"No you don't,"
"Yes I do! … Wait…"
"HAHA. You admitted it!" she yelled triumphantly.
"… What's your point?"
"I now have something to use against you!" Alyssia laughed, and then crossed the bridge with a huge smirk on her face. Temari just stood there, slightly confused as to what just happened.

Alice/Sasuke
Sasuke was walking in a straight line, his hands shoved in his pockets and his head facing down. Alice was wondering when he would notice the big oak tree about three feet away from him.
"Sasuke…" she started, but it was too late. There was a loud thud and Sasuke was lying on the floor, writhing in pain.
"Oh dear!" Alice gasped. "Are you okay?"
"…" As much as Sasuke would have liked to respond, he couldn't.
He tried to hold on, but he couldn't. He took one deep breath, and then slowly lost consciousness. Alice gasped again, and keeled over sideways out of pure shock and depression. For all those who suck at getting hints, she fainted.

Meghan/Shino/Kankuro
"…" Shino was beginning to regret his choice of protecting Meghan. "You talk too much" he stated.
"I know. My mum says it's a problem, but my dad says it's a gift. He says talking constantly--"
"… Shut up." Shino felt like banging his head on a tree. No one had ever brought him this close to going completely insane.
"After I tell you this… OH MY GOSH. A TIRE. MADE OF A REAL RUBBER. A COMPLETE TIRE!" Meghan squealed, pointing at the new inanimate object.
"… Go check it out then. Give us a moments peace…" Kankuro practically begged. Meghan was eager to obey that command. She approached the tire slowly, ready to take her ninja stance if anything were to say, jump out of the tire and attempt to hurt her or her two new friends.
"Ooooh, look!" she exclaimed. A little orange book was just sitting there, right in the middle of the tire. She picked it up and studied the covers. "This looks cute!" she giggled, and proceeded to flick through it, and see what it was actually about.
"Um. Excuse me. That's mine." Meghan felt the book being taken away from her.
"No! Wait! I was just about to figure out what a genital is!" She jumped up and down, attempting to grab the book that a certain Hatake Kakashi was holding in the air.
"… You don't know what a genital is?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "I guess it's time for the talk."
"Oooh! The talk! Let's have tea… and maybe some food too? I'm hungry."
Kankuro and Shino were just standing there, twitching. 'She's not going to want food after the talk… I remember when I had to give Gaara the talk…' That thought made Kankuro twitch even more.

Melissa/Neji
It was this teams job to find food for the hungry ninja's. The only thing they could think of was corn. Or wheat. But wheat's just gross. So they decided to go with corn. Funnily enough, there was a cornfield right in the middle of the forest.
Meanwhile, Neji was holding the bag, while Melissa was throwing the corn into it. All too suddenly, she saw a corn stalk that had a shape that was somehow familiar to her. She picked it, and started experimenting with it. "Oh. My. Gosh." Somehow, she had shaped its leaves so it looked exactly the same shape as Shino's hair.
"…" Neji didn't feel the need to respond to that one.
"Oh my gosh, Neji, this one looks exactly like Kiba!" Melissa had a handful of stalks and was making a bunch of different hairstyles on them. "And this one looks like Tsunade! See the little pigtails?" She practically shoved the corn in Neji's face. "But if you do this, see, roll it up like that, it looks a lot like Tenten! Y'know, the one you like."
"… It does not look like Tenten," Neji smacked his forehead.
"Ah, so you don't deny that you like her!"
"… You need help."
"Like, what sort of help?"
"…" It was taking him a lot to hold himself back from hurting her. Melissa shrugged and continued shaping her corn.
"Ne-Neji-kun, LOOK!" She pointed at the corn. "It… has your hair." She started stroking it. "See, smooth, very un-gravity defiant. Smooth. Wonderful. Hehe."
"Um." The look of disgust on his face was priceless. "We uh… Should be getting back now." He stated, hoping this whole change of subject thing would work.
"Okay. Okay." Melissa nodded, though she really didn't want to leave the corn behind. "Should I keep the Neji Corn, or should you?" she questioned.
"I'LL TAKE IT" He snatched it from her hands, and threw far into the field.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Emi/Lee/Gaara + Newcomers
Emi, being the ninja clan leader, was obviously better than all the other ninjas in her clan, was already finished with the task she had set for herself, which was finding a campsite for the ninjas to stay on. Because she was finished, there was nothing left to do, which made her extremely bored. So she sat there, poking Bing the bunny with a stick.
Lee was watching her intently, he seemed to be amazed by the whole process of poking a bunny. "Um, excuse me…" he automatically felt bad for being a disturbance. "Is this some kind of ninja training?"
"…" Emi thought about it for a second. "Yes, yes it is."
"It's amazing!" Lee exclaimed.
"Eh? Okay? Thanks?" Emi continued poking the poor bunny.
All too suddenly, there was a huge bang. Emi automatically jumped to see who was hurt. But no one was hurt. No way. It was HER. It was the one every ninja on this planet fears. It was DANIELLE.
"Oh my gosh, Emi! I was looking all over for you! I missed you so much! Did you miss me too? Y'know, because we're tight and stuff…" Danielle said in her wannabe preppy voice.
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TIGHT? MY ASS!" Came a random yell from somewhere in the forest. It was pretty obvious that said person was Melissa.
"Eh? Ah well. Oh my…" She started to go all fluttery. "Who's the handsome short guy with the red hair? Can I have his phone number?" She asked.
"…" Gaara winced. He was actually kind of … scared of this girl.
Emi saw the fear in his eyes, and automatically charged at Danielle. "I'm gonna…" she started.
"Awwww! Yes, you can hug me, Emi! You could have just asked though!"
Emi muttered something censored, jumped into the air, and then attempted to tackle Danielle to the floor. But it backfired badly. Danielle's… springiness had sent Emi flying through the air and back down the cliff.
"You… You… You… YOU KILLED EMI-SAMA. YOU KILLED THE LEADER!" Rock Lee then charged at Danielle and attempted top punch her in the stomach. He hit her, but there was one problem. His hand had gotten itself stuck. "GET OFF OF ME!" he yelled, flailing his arm around, trying to throw her off. "You're heavy!" After a few seconds of flailing, Lee accidentally sent Danielle flying into the air and onto the top ledge of the cliff that was about another 30 feet up.
MEANWHILE… Emi had just reached the bottom of the cliff. She had miraculously landed on her feet. She brushed herself off, and looked around. She was very surprised to see a certain Hyuuga Hinata standing ten yards away.
"Oh my… Hello Hinata!" Emi exclaimed. Hinata squeaked and hid behind a tree.
"Hello," she replied shyly.
"Um," Emi had a question she was always wishing to ask this certain person. "Do you um… ever find it annoying that Naruto calls you 'HEEEEEEEEEEEEE-nata' instead of Hinata?" She asked.
"I uh… um… I never really noticed." Hinata blushed.
"You are so CUTE!" Emi giggled. "Oof—OH HI ROSIE!" A wiener dog had randomly dropped from right at the top of the cliff, into Emi's arms. "Where 'd you come from?" Emi asked. The dog didn't seem to respond. Emi shrugged and set her down. "Go on then, Rosie." The little wiener dog ran off down the river. No one knew this, but she could smell another nin-dog and was going to check it out.

The process of getting Hinata and Emi up the cliff was pretty boring. All they did was the smart thing by walking up the path. Gaara and Rock Lee were waiting for them at the top.
Melissa: So there you have it! Chapter 2 we had fun with this one. Don't be afraid to review! I only bite Kristen. And Danielle… but I only did that once. –shifty eyes- AND BRYANNE! I DO LOVE NEJI MORE THAN YOU!
No one else is here right now ;-; So I'm talking to myself.
