"You've got to be joking me." Sasuke mentally smacked himself and rolled his eyes.
Standing there making breakfast was Neji.
"Oh, hey guy. Where have you been?" Neji questioned not even looking up from the pancakes in the pan below him.
"What do you mean 'where have we been'? Where have YOU been?" Kankuro asked, his head throbbing from all his yelling.
"What are you talking about? I've been here the hole time. Where else would I be?" He simply didn't know how to reply to that, it was true, he didn't go anywhere unnatural.
Right after a few flabbergasted looks from Kankuro the door on the other side of the kitchen opened, revealing Sai and Temari.
"Yo." Sai raised a hand in acknowledgement to the people in the room.
"Damn, you found him first?" Temari looked to Kankuro and Sasuke.
"No, he was already hear when we got here, that good for nothing--squeeeeeek--" Sasuke was interrupted by that all too familiar sound.
"AAAAAAHHHH!!" Tenten suddenly flew out from under the table and ran into the living room.
"What the hell?" Kankuro's eyes followed Tenten out of the room and watched as she cowered on the couch.
"May I ask what she was doing under the table?" Sai raised an eyebrow towards Neji.
"I found her sleeping there this morning, and I didn't want to wake her up. So I left her there." He answered, still not taking his eyes off breakfast.
"Wait! Where did the squeak come from?!?" Kankuro immediately entered a defensive stance.
"It's Lee." Neji clarified him once again.
"Lee?"
"Yeah. I found him laying knocked out on the stairs, so I brought him in her and bandaged up his cuts and bruises. He didn't wake up so I just left him laying in that booth over by the table." Neji replied bluntly flipping a pancake.
"Well then, he was squeaking? I'm so confused!" Kankuro wept and fell to his knees.
"No, THIS is what was squeaking." Temari pried a blow up hammer out of Lee's grip and squeezed it allowing it to squeak.
Everyone heard another squeal from Tenten in the other room.
"Oh my god! When he wakes up I'm gonna kill him! He caused me to sleep in a locked cell with Sasuke all night!" Kankuro's eyes flared and he balled his fists at Lee's sleeping form.
"Wait, was there only one bed?" Sai raised his eyebrows and grinned.
"NO! We each slept in a separate bed!" Sasuke retorted with a glare towards Sai.
Sai snared at him and took a seat at the table with Temari and Kankuro preparing for breakfast.
"We're lost! We're lost! We're lost!" Ino cried slumping along behind Shikamaru as he plugged his ears with his fingers.
"Shikamaru! You got us lost you lazyass!" Ino would yell every now and then.
"If you hadn't noticed I'm trying to ignore you, and that's hard to do when you scream like that. So if you wouldn't mind, shut up." Shikamaru replied picking up his pace a bit.
Ino dropped her jaw, 'how dare he.'
"Ignoring me huh? Well then boom boom boom boom! Boom boom! Boom boom, BOOM! BOOM!" Ino inhaled deeply and stared to see his reaction with a grin plastered across her face.
He just kept walking with his fingers in his ears. Then turned around, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"
Her smile instantly dropped into a frown. 'That's it! He's going to be TOAST!!'
'ooooh toast, I'm hungry--wait!--no no Ino! Concentrate!!' Ino thought to herself as she glared holes into Shikamaru.
He just shrugged once he didn't get an answer from her and continued walking, plugging his ears once again.
'I know! I'll sneak into one of the rooms and when he doesn't hear any noise anymore he'll turn to see what I'm doing and I'll be missing. Then he'll get all worried and frantic and go looking for me! Then I'll surprise him by jumping out and then he'll grab me into a warm hug and move into a kiss--I-I mean, then I'll scare him and beat him up! Perfect!' Ino snickered out loud and moved to the room to her left.
After about a minute of silence Shikamaru started getting suspicious, 'I don't hear noise, booming, popping, or complaining…'
He turned around to come face to face with an empty hall way. "Ino?" He didn't receive an answer. "Oh well, the quieter the better." He continued walking, this time his ears unplugged.
When Ino entered the room it was pitch black, so she flipped on the light. Only to be a little disturbed. "What in the world are all the blow up hammers in here for?" Ino asked herself with a bewildered face.
"Hmm, owell. All the better to hit Shika with." She grinned and grabbed a couple hammers. Then stood next to the door waiting for a frantic Shikamaru to burst in any minute.
Yup, any minute now…
Okay…any minute, any minute at all.
YES any fricken minute,
Ino gritted her teeth at the long wait. He should be screaming his head off and popping clouds himself by now! He. Should. Be. Worried. About. HER!
Yes, Ino was getting what you might call, impatient. It had been five minutes and she still couldn't hear his lazyass feat running down the hall.
"I SHOULD BE HEARING CRYS OF REMORSE RIGHT NOW!!" Ino screamed out loud and waited a few seconds later, but still no Shikamaru.
"Okay, time for a little game of how bad can you mangle up Shika so you can't tell who he is anymore." Ino glared and poked her head outside of the door, still holding her 'weapons'…a.k.a…rubber hammers that squeak.
The hall was empty. She snuck out and silently made her way to the end of the hallway, still not running into him.
She glanced down the hallway to the left and then to the right, deciding the left hallway was the way she thought he'd go.
Well actually, it was only cause the right hallway was pitch black and she was to much of a chicken poo to go down there.
She continued jogging down the hall to catch up with Shikamaru, eventually she did. He was walking at a lazy speed with his hands in his pockets.
'This is it. I'm gonna beat the crap out of him with my rubber hammers of doom!' She snickered to herself and interrupted her silence with her battle cry,
"SHIKALAKALAKALOO!! I KILL YOU!!" Then she took off running towards him waving both hammers above her head in a crazy woman looking manner.
Shikamaru heard the call of the wild Ino and spun to see what was up. He had decided that was a bad idea. For he had turned to see Ino running at him at full speed with two squeaking rubber hammers held above her head looking as though she was about to eat him for dinner.
"HOLY SHIT!" Shikamaru took off on full speed as well after his eyes bulged and his mouth gaped at the crazy Ino killer.
"Kiba! It's my house, I'm telling you it's this wa--SHIKALAKALAKALOOOOO!!!"
"I don't even want to know." Kiba stared blank faced at the retreating forms at the other end of the hallway who just rushed pass.
"Well Kiba maybe we should go see if they're all right?" Sakura asked still wide eyed watching as Shikamaru screeched and bolted down another hallway with Ino tailing right behind him.
"No, just keep walking." Kiba shook his head and continued on his way.
"But may--"
"No Sakura, just ignore it."
"But how--"
"Keep, walking."
"But Kiba, what if she--"
"If he dies, he probably deserved it."
"Kiba, we really should--"
"Like I said, if he dies he probably deserves it, but why would I go risk my life if I don't deserve to?"
"Oh come on--"
"Sakura? Do you want to die by getting beat to death with what looked like two giant rubber blow up hammers…that squeak?" Kiba asked looking back at her curiously.
Sakura thought for a moment, "Good point, you know maybe we should start to jog back, you know, just in case he runs back this way?" They both glanced at each other after that comment and seconds later they were both booking it down the hallway at full speed.
"I like pancakes." Kankuro shoved a bite of pancake into his mouth and smiled with glee.
"Wow, these taste good. I didn't know you could cook Neji." Temari smacked Neji across the back in a 'good job' kind of way.
"Thanks." He replied and continued to eat his own pancakes until he thought about something. Well, more like someone. "Tenten, are you going to stop hiding behind the plant and eat now?" Neji asked her still sitting in his chair. So he sort of yelled it to her considering she was currently in the living room a wall over.
"NO!" Tenten thought back to her encounter with 'the squeak' and shivered.
"Tenten, the squeaking was Lee, get over it." He rolled his eyes at her childishness.
"NEVER!!" Tenten cried and griped onto the stem of the potted plant she was currently hiding behind in the corner of Sakura's living room. Why she's hiding be hind a plant instead of on the couch...the world may never know.
Neji sighed and stood up and passed through the swinging door into the living room.
Everyone else at the table exchanged glances and listened to the commotion coming from the other room.
"No Neji!"
"Tenten, Let. Go."
"NO! It'll get me!!"
"It was just Lee."
"Neji I can't go in there the squeaks in there!"
"For gods sake the squeak Is Lee and his god damn rubber hammer!"
"You can't make me!"
"Wanna bet?"
"No Neji! Let go of me! NOOO I WON'T LET GO!!"
…snap…
"Tenteeeen now look what you did, you broke the plant."
"No, you did it! I'm not going to eat with the squeak in there!"
"Oh yes you are!"
"NO!"
"Let go of the pot Tenten."
"NO!"
"LET.GO.OF.THE.POT!"
"NO!"
"Fine! Hold on!"
"Neji?" Temari asked as he came walking into the kitchen and grabbed the 'squeak', "Oh."
The commotion in the other room stirred again.
"Now Tenten, you WILL eat."
'SQUEEEK'
"AAAHHH!!"
'SQUEEEK'
"NEJI'S THE SQUEEK, NEJI'S THE SQUEEK!!"
"Tenten! No, don't go under--gah Tenten! Get out from under the couch!"
They then heard a muffled 'Never', a few quick squeals and screams, some banging and mashing, then a ruff sigh and a dragging sound.
Neji walked in dragging Tenten behind him screaming her head off. "Noooooooo!! Anything but the squeak!!"
Neji picked her up and placed her in a chair, throwing a plate of pancakes and a fork in from of her, "Eat." He growled out the word and Tenten started to stuff her mouth with pancakes before Neji did it for her.
Everyone else exchanged frightened looks and stuffed their mouths with pancakes as well.
"I SMELL FOOD!" A loud, obnoxious voice screamed rushing through the kitchen door.
Naruto stood their letting drool drip down his chin.
"Napkin?" Everyone offered at once, each holding up their own.
"No! FOOD!" Naruto bolted towards the table and took a seat, not even waiting for Neji to serve him before he grabbed a pancake from Tenten's plate gagging him self with his giant bite.
"Naruto, please slow down, you'll get sick." Hinata commented taking a seat next to him.
"Awh, sorry Hinata, I just got so excited." He blushed and rubbed the back of his head as a nervous act.
Then the all heard their next breakfast entertainment running down the stairs.
'Run! Run!'
'I can hear them, they're catching up!'
'God! They run so fast!'
'I know, you think we'll make it?'
'We're almost there!!'
'SHIKALAKALAKALOOO!!'
'AHH!! I hear her, RUUUN!!'
A loud, boom was heard and they all jumped up and ran to the living room. Only to find Sakura and Kiba laying at the bottom of the stairs in a tangled mess.
"You guys okay?" Temari rushed over and pulled Sakura up.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." She let out a held breathe and brushed her disheveled hair back in place.
"SHIKAAAAA!! 'SQUEAK' 'SQUEAK'" The screams were getting close, really close.
"What's going on?" Kankuro asked helping up Kiba and looking up the stairs.
"Everyone, get out of the way!" Sakura and Kiba pushed everyone into the living room eagerly awaiting Ino and Shikamaru to burst down into their sight.
"But why?" Sasuke asked looking at her curiously.
"Just watch." She shushed him and placed a finger over her lips.
They waited a few more seconds and then Shikamaru shot off the stairs with a REALLY terrified look on his face, then popped out Ino with the crazed look and rubber hammers still in hand.
Shikamaru ran through the kitchen, out the other side, around to the foyer then right towards them in the living room.
"GAH! Not this way!" Everyone piled together and held out their hands.
Shikamaru took shelter behind the same plant Tenten had, and everyone else took the force of Ino running hammer first into them.
"GAAAH INO!!"
"I think I lost something,"
"I think I pulled something,"
"I think I broke something,"
"I think I sat on something,"
"Yeah, me!"
"Sorry."
Their grumbles went around the room, well except for Shikamaru's, he was safe behind Sakura's plant. He slowly opened one eye and glanced at the pile before him.
Ino was laying on top with her butt high in the air laying across Tenten, Only Neji's hair could be seen sticking out from under Kankuro's twitching leg, Sakura was trying to push her bottom half out from under Sai whose back end was the only part showing right next to Kiba's head, Sasuke's fingers could be seen wiggling underneath part of Hinata who was near the edge of the pile and not really stuck at all, and Temari was no where to be seen, for she was buried beneath the pile of teens.
Shikamaru noticed there was no harm done to him, sighed and stood up walking to the kitchen to get some breakfast. 'Wooh, she didn't get me after all. I thought I was a dead man.' He grinned to himself and walked through the kitchen door.
"I'm stuck, guys, please get up!" Temari screamed a muffled plea from inside the mound.
"I can't, Sai's on me!" Sakura answered, still trying to push herself out from under him.
"mmh mf mmm!"
"What was that Sai?" Tenten asked painfully getting crushed under Ino who was still laying on her.
"M MH MF MMMM!!"
"Well why didn't you say so? Ino, get up so I can get up!" Tenten turned to see Ino groan and slowly roll off of her. Tenten then stood up and the detangling began.
After about 15 minutes of arguing and lots of butter they were finally back to their normal selves.
Everyone had their breakfast and they now all sat in the living room, ready to catch up on any stories anyone had to tell about their 'adventure'.
"Okay, so who here thinks that was a total waste of time?" Sai asked raising his hand. Many hands shot up as well.
"Seriously, I can't believe you were here the whole time." Temari grumbled glaring at Neji.
"Don't get mad at me, you're the ones who decided to look for me when I wasn't even lost." Neji replied glaring back at her.
"Neji, how did you manage to disappear in the fist place though? Where'd you go for all that time we were waiting for you before we took off on our search?" Tenten asked placing her hands under her chin waiting for an answer.
"Well I had to go to the bathroom, so I did. Then the lights went out and I started thinking about how freaked out Hiashi must be without Hinata or I to be there to calm him down. That reminded me that I should call him to let him know where we were so he wouldn't get worried. So I called him, and when I got back from down the hallway everyone was gone." Neji replied earning a few irritated glares.
"It doesn't take you that long to call Hiashi and tell him your over at Sakura's." Sasuke replied huffing and leaning back against the couch.
"Well actually Hiashi is quite the talker, he kept me on the phone for 45 minutes asking me pointless questions just so he wouldn't have to worry about us doing something we weren't supposed to. But I believe his real reasoning was he was just scared of the tornado warning and wanted someone to talk to." Neji sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru grumbled.
"Tell me about it. Wait, I forgot I'm not talking to you." Ino crossed her arms and turned her head the other direction sticking her nose up in the air.
Sai shook his head at them and asked the question everyone forgot about, "So who won the game then?"
That caused them all to sit up straight, they hadn't been expecting that.
"Hey, I forgot about that, so yeah, who won?" Temari asked snapping her fingers once and then looking around the room for an answer.
"Well Tenten and Lee were the first ones back, but technically Neji found THEM, not the other way around. So if you really think about it, me and Sasuke won." Kankuro pointed out with a face of accomplishment.
"Wha? Not fare!" Tenten crossed her arms and pouted.
"Hey, alls fare in love and war." Kankuro chuckled, trying to prove a point.
"Well I guess your right, we had some war, with Ino and Shikamaru, then some love with S--" Tenten got a hand smacked to her mouth and was suddenly being dragged away by Sakura.
"Hey, where're you taking me?" Tenten squealed trying to break free from Sakura's grasp.
"A little place I like to call, 'teaching Tenten to keep her mouth shut paradise'." Sakura gritted her teeth and smiled at her.
"Uh, Sakura. Somehow I don't think that sounds like a place I want to be going to, thanks anyways!" Tenten giggled and tried to run away.
"Nice try, but to bad." Sakura dragged her up the stairs and into her room.
"Any idea what's up with them two?" Kankuro asked glancing from person to person.
"Judging from everything that's been happening around here lately, I really don't think I want to know." Sasuke sighed, waiting to hear some sort of screaming, banging, or possibly moaning. After last night and this morning, he's seemed to come to the conclusion that anything's possible. In fact, I think everyone has.
"AAAH!!" A scream was hear, from Sakura's room.
"Right on queue, ready to go see some sort of crazy scene?" Sasuke asked standing up and looking to everyone else.
"You bet!" Hinata and Temari laughed in unison and skipped down to Sakura's room, ready for some entertainment, screaming, or drama of some sort. This has been becoming an interesting sleepover.
"Oh good lord, here we go again." Ino sighed shaking her head. "Will there ever be at least one hour of normalness?
"Ino, you've go to expect the unexpected. Actually, we all should." Kankuro grinned, and with that turned to Sai, "So Sai, tell us again, how was it you got Sakura pregnant?"
Silence and stunned faces was definitely the element now.
So that was my lovely chapter I wrote when I was hyped up on coffee un! I get really hyper when I drink coffee and that's when I think best, haha yeah! Okay, well I hope you like this chappie un!
