Chapter Title: The Baby sitter

Author: crazedAKI66

A sound from the bushes just around them was heard and they all turned around to see who it was. Just then, a familiar figure emerged through the darkness revealing a pink haired girl, panting.

Then Ino gasped. "SHE LIVES!"

"Jeez woman, keep it low…" commented a boy with a head just like a pineapple, which just happen to sit next to her. (Oh what a coincidence…)

"Eheh… right um… hey, I live…" Sakura said with a forced smile.

"Where have you been?" Sasuke asked impatiently, clearly pissed off by waiting.

"Oooooh… he's curious…" Ten-Ten whispered, mostly to Neji, which made a small laugh escape from his lips.

"What was that?" Sasuke demanded to know, glaring at the both of them.

"Nothing… oh your highness…" Ten-Ten answered sarcastically.

"Now you!" Sasuke said loudly, while facing towards Sakura.

"Huh? Me?" Sakura asked, confused.

"Yes, you tiny pink creature, I'm talking to you… where the hell have you been! You made us wait here for… hours!"

"Actually by hours, he means minutes…" Ino interrupted.

Sasuke faced Ino with a firm look on his face and spoke as he glares at her. "How dare you insult me!"

"I think the part he got in the play earlier is getting to his head…" Ten-Ten whispered to Neji as he smirked.

"Oh nothing, nothing… not a thing…" Ino said her excuse with a grin.

So Sasuke faced Sakura once again. "Now you, answer my question this instant!"

"Did you bump your head?" Sakura asked rather curiously as she raised an eyebrow.

"Tsk, unfortunately, he didn't. He got the part from the play our school is holding." Naruto stated.

"He auditioned for that thing!"

"No… I set him up… it's gonna be hilarious, man, I can't wait for him to kiss his damsel in distress!" Naruto said as he laughed his heart out.

"Um… what damsel in distress?" Sakura asked, eyeing Naruto.

"He got the lead, now he's some knight-in-shinning-armor!" Naruto exclaimed, thinking it's the most entertaining thing in the world.

"Hey, hey wait a sec," Ino said as she faced Sakura. "You… got the lead too, right!"

"Oh… um… yeah, I did…" Sakura said, with no effort inserted, and then she frowned.

"Well? Aren't you happy? I'm mean like, you're gonna be in a romantic play with the most popular guy in school!" Ino exclaimed; just then, Shikamaru cleared his throat along with Neji which made Ino pause. "Well, one of the most popular guys…"

"Oh… eheh, well… it's just that, now, my knight-in-shinning-armor officially turned out to be a geek in tin foil" Sakura stated, which caused Sasuke to turn towards her.

"WHAT?" He yelled.

"Nothing…"

So he just sighed. "No really! As if, Sakura, jeez… you're annoying; but really: where have you been?"

"I had to baby-sit this horrible creature they call a kid" Sakura said sarcastically.

"Whoa really! Awesome!" Neji exclaimed which earned a questioning look from Sakura.

"How in the world is that awesome?"

"Cuz…" Neji started. "My story for tonight is titled 'The Babysitter'"

In the story

It was like any other ordinary night, as a girl-probably around her late teens- was paid to baby-sit. She never really liked baby sitting, she just did it for the money. She would do anything for money, but that is… until this night's experience.

She was asked to baby sit two children- one 5 and one 8. Since she didn't like putting up with children, so what she did was she placed them upstairs in one room and left them to play all alone while she was downstairs, watching television.

That night, around midnight, while she was watching television, the phone rang. Irritated by being disturbed, she got up and headed for the kitchen counter, where the telephone was and picked it up.

"Hello?" she said as she answered it.

No answer…

"Anyone there?" she asked again, getting impatient since she was missing her show.

But once again, only silence had answered her. "If your not gonna say anything… I'll hang up…" she threatened, twitching in annoyance.

Then, a crackle was heard from the other line, like a cell phone starting to loose its signal- it symbolized movement from the other line. The babysitter was about to hang up until she heard a voice talk.

"Check on the children…" a deep, masculine voice said, almost in threatening. It wasn't a familiar one in any way.

"Uh… who's this?" she asked.

"Check on the children…" the voice said once again.

"What? Oh, um… the children are just-" she said, but the thought of the person being the parents of the two children was immediately stopped when the other line hanged-up. She raised an eyebrow as she stared at the phone but placed it back and continued watching.

A couple of minutes later, the phone rang once again. Irritated, she lazily stood up and picks the phone up.

"Hello?"

"Check on the children." said the deep, coarse voice once again.

The babysitter showed a questioning look which soon turned into an irritated one. "Yeah... ok whatever; bye…" she answered then hangs up on the phone. She placed it back on its stand and headed for the living room as she slouched back down onto the couch. She got the remote and continued to watch what she was watching earlier.

After a few minutes, to her dismay, the phone rang once again. Standing up, she made her way to the kitchen counter and picked the phone up once again.

"Hello…?" she said, only to be answered by silence. She sighed and was about to hang-up until she heard a familiar deep voice.

"Check on the children…" it said, referring to the ones she was babysitting- which were upstairs.

Pissed of, she quickly hang-up and placed the phone down. She went towards its switch and plugged it off.

The night went through quietly with no more call interruptions what-so-ever. In fact, it was too quiet. The noise from the children playing around earlier was now completely gone. Only the sound of the television was heard, not even the trees or the wind could be hearable. Thinking it was only because the kids had already fallen asleep, she went on with watching.

Hours went by, and finally getting bored, the babysitter shut the television and headed upstairs. She, at last, decided to check on the children; not because of the mysterious phone calls she had been receiving, but because that her job is to baby sit, and somehow she's gonna have to check on them sometime.

She walked along the dark corridors of the house, heading to the children's room. When she finally got there, she reached for the doorknob and twisted it open, expecting to find to children fast asleep. As the door swung open, her eyes slowly looked forward at the scene before her. She gasped and even felt her heart stop for a second there as her eyes grew wide at the view she was seeing right before her eyes.

There, right in front of her, were the children she was supposed to take care of… dead. Their bodies were scattered on the floor, covered with blood and tons of gashes were obvious. Stains of tears were seen on both the children's face. Blood stains were everywhere: on the floor, on the bed and even on the walls. She took notice of a knife… a freshly used knife, judging by its looks of blood dripping from it. By the corner of her eye, she noticed red markings on the wall. She faced it and gulped hard.

The markings were words; clear enough to look freshly painted. But yet, it wasn't paint, it was fresh blood used as ink; it was the children's blood. And there… it wrote:

"I told you… Check on the children…"

end of story

"Oh my gosh…" Ten-Ten shrieked as she jumped up to Neji's arm- squeezing it so tight, he barely felt his blood flowing.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow…" Neji complained as he repeated it over and over again- like a broken record.

Sakura only gulped at the thought of that experience happening to her. She turned at Neji who was currently getting Ten-Ten of his sleeve.

"So you're saying that'll happen to me?" she questioned while eyeing the white eyed boy.

"It's a possibility…" Neji answered as grinned evilly, which only made Sakura shudder, as she narrowed her eyes.

"Fine then…" She stood up and got her bag. "Alright people! Get up and leave; I'm sure Neji would love to be alone with Ten-Ten" She said as she grinned, evilly.

Surprisingly, everyone did get up, got their things and headed out for the trail to their homes. Neji's eyes got wide in disbelief, "What the- Hey! You guys get back here now!"

"Oh, and Neji…" Sakura called and turned as she was now heading for the trail

"Since you're still gonna be here… I don't think you mind cleaning the place up…"

The End

But then again… let's take a little peek to Neji and Ten-Ten.

"Great… you got me to clean the place up…" Neji growled. He looked at Ten-Ten which he currently escaped from; she was sitting on the grass and noticed that she was shivering. "Hey, you still scared?"

"K-kind of…" she replied, as she shuddered; her arms wrapping around her body.

"Heh… you call that 'kind-of'? I can't believe you're still shivering…it wasn't that scary you know…" Neji boasted as he smirked towards her.

But Ten-Ten only glared at him. "I'm cold, Neji. Now stop acting like you know and can fix everything … because you can't…" Ten-Ten said as she was curled up and her body was now like sushi… that sounds funny…

Neji snickered; then the current feeling of chill that Ten-Ten felt was replaced by warmth. She looked around and saw a grey Timberland jacket (Ooohhh, Timberland… Neji's rich! Lol) wrapped around her shoulders. She looked up only to be greeted by Neji's smirk. "Ok… so I guess you can fix most of everything…"

"I'm good…" Neji cooled.

"You're good… but no thanks… I'm fine…" Ten-Ten said as she offered back his jacket; expecting for Neji decline and be polite, she gave out a warm smile for him, which eventually faded when he gladly took it and wore it back. Ten-Ten shrugged and cursed under her breath, "Rude much…"

Then, out of nowhere, she felt herself lifted then back down again but this time, she was sitting- well, more like leaning- on something softer, especially compared to the ground. She took a look back, and to her surprise, saw Neji. He had placed her on his lap with his left arm resting on his left knee since it was bent. His other arm was around her waist. Aside from the awkward feeling, Ten-Ten felt warmth and safe at the same time, although she never had the idea of showing it.

"What in the world are you doing?" Ten-Ten asked-slash-hissed, trying to act all-tough and not give in.

"You're cold and you're also too stubborn to even borrow my jacket and set aside your politeness; I can't just leave you here out in the cold all night you know… I'm not that harsh…"

"I won't be here all night… I'll go home, more like now" Ten-Ten said and struggled loose on Neji's grip. But, of course, Neji's stronger than so Ten-Ten wasn't able to stand up.

"Do you really wanna walk out there… all alone… in the dark… at midnight?" Neji asked curiously, but in a threatening way.

Ten-Ten shuddered as she shook her head in response. Which made Neji snicker. "Tsk, I thought so…" he said, "I guess we just have to stay here all night…"

Ten-Ten sighed and, finally giving in, leaned her head against his chest. "Yeah but we're here, all alone in the dark… with no one watching us… at mid-night, that's not good, it gives me the creeps…"

Neji smiled- for the first time after all the smirks, grins and snickers- and hugged Ten-Ten tightly. "What's to worry about? I'm here… with you. I won't let anyone or anything hurt you… not even an ant… OW! God, what the hell!"

A small chuckle escaped from Ten-Ten's lips, "But you'll let an ant bite you?"

"Just as long as it means it's not you; the last thing I wanna do is let you get hurt out here…" Neji smiled warmly.

Ten-Ten sighed and leaned back on Neji, "Thanks…" she whispered as she closed her eyes.

"But hey, don't get too comfy: that's still on the list…" Neji grinned geek-ly.

Ten-Ten playfully punched Neji on the arm, "Ugh… shut up…" she said as she laughed and Neji groaned. They played and fooled around a bit while sitting down; hey, no one can see them anyways… right?

But far, FAR away! About four-hundred metres away; well… only four-hundred milimetres away, were two figures that was supposed to be home by now, hiding behind a bush.

Click!

The raven-haired took a quick but clear picture of the pair that was currently sitting together. He took a look at the screen of his digital camera and smirked; he shoved it towards the pink-haired girl that was holding a pen and a notebook and scribbling something on it. She took a look at the screen and returned the smirk.

"This… will SO look great at the yearbook…" the girl exclaimed softly for the other two that was on their own little world not to hear.

The guy, though, just snickered.

"I can't wait to see their faces when we finally receive our yearbooks; it's gonna be priceless…"

THE END!

So…. how was that? For other people who said more sasuXsaku… just one more, I wanna do all the 4 main pairings. And I need ideas for like… a sweet moment or whatever for the pairings. Cuz I'm not a very sweet person… lol, jokes. Anyway, I just need a moment or anything that could happen before or after the scary story, I just dunno what else to put. And if you have a scary story that you wanna share to me then you're more than welcome to! Thanks!

So Anyway, Thanks A Lot!
