Just so you know, a villa house is a small, awesome house (in my opinion) that they let you rent for several days, usually found in far-off places like the province or an island or… usually in a remote place where people go for vacations. The house has rooms in it complete with a living room, dining, kitchen, washroom and it's usually very clean and gorgeous-looking like motel and hotel rooms. I love it. Then around that area usually there are parks or swimming pools or recreational areas.
Anyway, this is a mixture of shikaXino and sasuXsaku… I hope that's ok.

Chapter Title: Dripping Sounds

crazie--blonde: this is really stupid…
maniac1010: Awww… C'mon, it's kinda cool…
crazie--blonde: I still don't get the point of chatting like this when we're only less than 50 yards from each other.
troublesome/guy: It's not a point; it's neither a choice; so live with it, at least for tonight…
crazie--blonde: What does he mean?
maniac1010: well, do you want to sneak out again? We're already lucky they let us come along… I LOVE SplashDown! I'm so happy we're here! With… a computer in each villa houses…plus a rec centre!crazie--blonde: Can't we just go meet… somewhere like in the rec centre… that's not sneaking out…
i-luv-ramen: Jeez, you're not fun, you know that?
crazie--blonde: whatever…
crazie--blonde: Hey, Sakura's here…she's sitting… she's clicking… she's logging on… and…
insanely--sakura had just joined this conversation
crazie--blonde: There ya go…
ravenXrouge: Hey, Pinky…
insanely--sakura: What do you want, Uchiha?
ravenXrouge: Is it SO wrong to say 'hi'?
insanely--sakura: you said 'hey'
ravenXrouge: I can't believe you're that stupid…
insanely--sakura: It's called sarcasm…maybe you haven't heard it before…
ravenXrouge: It's just extended truth… maybe you haven't heard it before…
sk8tfr3k: It's called shutting up…both of you definitely haven't heard of that…
Sakura rolled her eyes. The moment she logged on was the moment she got into another pointless fight with the Uchiha.
ravenXrouge: Shut up, Hyuuga…
sk8tfr3k: Make me, Uchiha…
crazie--blonde: Well, here goes world war III…
troublesome/guy: troublesome…
crazie--blonde: could you like, stop saying that!
troublesome/guy: saying what? Jeez you're so troublesome…
crazie--blonde: see? That… that's exactly what I'm talking about.
troublesome/guy: It's none of your business…
crazie--blonde: Urgh! You're so- AGH!
insanely--sakura: jeez… relax, Ino… you're like, screaming…
Sakura peered through a row of shelves and she could hear Ino scream in frustration from the next isle. She could only see part of her head moving slightly since there were books blocking parts of her view.
Right now, they were at Blue Castle recreational centre's library; well, Ino and Sakura were. The others were in other parts of either the recreational centre or the villa houses itself- somewhere in the Blue Castle campus. Then, she heard Ino sigh from the other side of the shelf.
crazie--blonde: I'm relaxing…
insanely--sakura: I can tell… or see…
i-luv-ramen: See? How? Where are both of you?
insanely--sakura: Library…
crazie--blonde: library. Shikamaru's here, too…
i-luv-ramen: oh…No wonder… wait, then who's at your room?
shygirl1218: me
i-luv-ramen: oh, it's my dear and wonderful Hinata…
sk8tfr3k: WTF?
insanely--sakura: omg Neji, you didn't have to swear…
sk8tfr3k: ok, ok sheeesh… it's a chat, it's no big deal…
insanely--sakura: it is for me, you're such a bad influence… anywayz, what about Ten-Ten?
sk8tfr3k: what about her?
maniac1010: what about me?
insanely--sakura: where are you?
maniac1010: I'm in the computer lab… Mr. sk8tfr3k's here, too… more like wH1t3ey3dfr3k.
insanely--sakura: LOL
crazie--blonde: LMAO
sk8tfr3k: say that again and DIE…
maniac1010: whatever… hey Naruto, where are you?
i-luv-ramen: In our room or villa house…whatever you call it. Eating… ramen…. HAHA!
troublesome/guy: You idiot, there's no eating there… remember?
i-luv-ramen: What's your point?
troublesome/guy: My point is…wait, what the heck; I thought the computer's in my room! And…you're in front of it now so… crap, you better not spill food in there…
crazie--blonde: hell yeah! Spill it Naruto! Mess up his so-troublesome room…
troublesome/guy: Hey, don't!
0o0o0o0oIno and Shikamaru0o0o0o0o0o
troublesome/guy: Stop it!
crazie--blonde: stop what?
troublesome/guy: If Naruto spills his food, I'll have to clean it up
crazie--blonde: Don't you think I know that?
troublesome/guy: Jeez, you're so troublesome…
crazie--blonde: Look who's talkin' it's not like you're not troublesome…
troublesome/guy: I'm not… but the whole world around me is…
crazie--blonde: You keep on saying everything is troublesome… but you're the one who ends up troublesome
troublesome/guy: just cuz I say things are troublesome, doesn't mean I'm troublesome
troublesome/guy: it's just like you… you keep on saying you're pretty and sexy and stuff, but that doesn't mean you are…
crazie--blonde: Shut up…
troublesome/guy: What, so I'm right?
crazie--blonde: nah… I think you should stick to being troublesome… not that you can get away with it…
troublesome/guy: What the, ARGH! You're SO troublesome!
Ino looked over to Sakura gave out a mischievous smile along with mouthing the words 'he's so irritated'. Sakura gave a smirked, rolled her eyes and looked back on the computer screen.
crazie--blonde: Sakura thinks you're lame; I do too…
troublesome/guy: it's either that, or both of your brains are just naturally lame…
crazie--blonde: I hate you…
troublesome/guy: I hate you, too…
crazie--blonde: could you like… stop saying you hate me? It's pointless and annoying…
troublesome/guy: well, I DO hate you…
crazie--blonde: I do too!
troublesome/guy: you hate yourself?
crazie--blonde: No! I mean…I hate YOU, too! That's what I mean…
troublesome/guy: are you positive?
crazie--blonde: of course I'm positive!
troublesome/guy: only fools are positive…
crazie--blonde: Are you sure?
troublesome/guy: I'm positive
crazie--blonde: HA! You're an idiot…
"Shut up, you blonde."
Ino turned her head towards the sound and found herself giving out s smug grin towards the person facing the computer; as he was staring back at her too, only he was smirking.
"After you, pineapple head…" she returned, as the boy twitched in annoyance.
"My head, does NOT look like a pineapple…" he stated, gritting his teeth.
"I've got a mirror… you wanna check again?" she asked slyly, reaching in her pocket and taking out a mirror compact.
"If I had a book right now, you would have been smashed with it square in the face…" he said, glaring at her.
"You have books all around you, it's called a library. But somehow I still can't see a book heading towards me…"
"Since I'm such a gentleman, I don't choose to hit girls…"
"No, correction: since you're such a lazy-bum, you choose not to hit anybody or to do anything for that matter" she smirked, staring at him as he glared back at her. She heard sudden sound from her computer and turned around to see a window highlight orange, stating that there was a message.
insanely--sakura: please… try and don't put up another fight…
crazie--blonde: he started it…
insanely--sakura: no one cares who started it; it's who finishes it.
crazie--blonde: exactly… I'm finishing it. But I am NOT ending it.
insanely--sakura: that difference exactly?
crazie--blonde: do you THINK I know?
insanely--sakura: tsk, no…
O0o0o0oback in the chat room o0o0o0o0o0o
i-luv-ramen: So who goes tonight?
insanely--sakura: Sasuke
ravenXrouge: the one and only Uchiha
sk8tfr3k: yeah and thank god for that…
ravenXrouge: shut it, Hyuuga
insanely--sakura: there's still your parents, and your grandparents and Itachi! They're all Uchihas
ravenXrouge: Are they good-looking Uchihas? No…
insanely--sakura: Itachi is…
ravenXrouge: WHAT?
insanely--sakura: You can read… can you?
ravenXrouge: You like him?
insanely--sakura: I think he looks cute, but since he looks like you…
ravenXrouge: you think I look cute?
insanely--sakura: No, I think he turned ugly… now that's like you…
sk8tfr3k: Nice come-back, Haruno
insanely--sakura: thanks
ravenXrouge: Oh, look who's flirting with each other…
insanely--sakura: It's called complimenting and saying thanks in return
i-luv-ramen: I think it's called being jealous of Neji since Sakura actually gives attention to him.
sk8tfr3k: That's possible…
shygirl1218: huh?
i-luv-ramen: woohoo! Way to go, Neji! You got good taste!
troublesome/guy: what the heck?
crazie--blonde: whoa, what did you say, Neji?
maniac1010: you like Sakura?
insanely--sakura: coughscoughs
ravenXrouge: What the hell was that, HYUUGA!
sk8tfr3k: whoa! People! You think too much! I meant it's possible for Sasuke to be jealous of me; cuz I'm the great and famous Hyuuga and all. But I didn't mean Sasuke should be jealous of me cuz I get Sakura's attention and… for some…reason and… I'm gonna stop now…
sk8tfr3k: The Uchiha dude's giving me a freakin' glare. Is it just me or are you totally checking me out tonight, Uchiha!
insanely--sakura: coughscoughs ok, stop! I'm choking here…
insanely--sakura: I don't like where this conversation is going…
i-luv-ramen: sure, let's change topic. Wanna know how Neji slipped on a banana peel and almost fell off the cliff last week?
sk8tfr3k: that was such a stupid banana peel!
ravenXrouge: Now that's the so-called great and famous Hyuuga
insanely--sakura: LMAO
i-luv-ramen: Well, you guys wanna know how Sasuke ran into a pole yesterday?
ravenXrouge: that was such a stupid pole!
sk8tfr3k: and that's the so-called one and only Uchiha
maniac1010: ROFL
crazie--blonde: LOL well, anyway, drop that subject.
crazie--blonde: who goes tonight?
ravenXrouge: Me, now everyone shut up
ravenXrouge: My story for tonight is titled… 'Dripping Sounds' …
in the story
In a small simple house found uptown of the city, lived a little girl and her mom. Now that girl was only around the age of 6 or 7; she loved her mom and vice versa: her mom also loved her. They also owned a golden retriever who just wondered around the houses almost every moment. Although, he was a very talented dog, if ever he's been taught.
One morning, the mom was watching the television's morning news, and then saw that there was a criminal on the loose, as if to say it was a dog, ready to bite on anyone that comes its way. Only now, it's not biting after every person who comes his way, he's biting after every person that he sees.
The mother was terrified. She didn't want to leave her daughter alone with that bloodthirsty criminal just wondering around downtown. The worst case scenario, it might go uptown to where they are.
Her mom was a business manager; so since she is, she needed to go to business trips from time to time. This day is one of those times. The mom had to leave her child to go on a business trip, but left their dog as a guardian.
"Honey, you'll be okay, alright? Our dog's gonna be with you… mommy's just gonna go on a business trip; just for two nights, okay?"
The little girl nodded meekly, "S-sure mommy…" But deep inside, she was afraid. Of course, only being the little girl she is, she was still scared and a total naïve to the rest of the world. Her mom had always been protective of her daughter but at the times she had to leave, she had to leave.
Going back to the daughter, she was very scared-y cat girl. It was understandable for her age, especially if you'll have to leave the child alone; heck, you're not even suppose a kid under the age of 12 home alone. But still, the mother did leave her at home; it wasn't that she hated her daughter, but it was that she had to go on business from time to time; she had done it before, so what's with doing it now, right? Wrong; because that wasn't when a criminal just escaped from jail, wondering around the city.
The daughter thought of an idea. She taught their dog a trick. He would lick her hand twice if it was safe; maybe to go outside or to go out of the room; but one thing's for sure, she was afraid to go out without supervision and/or knowing that is was safe or not. Then, the dog would lick her hand once if it wasn't safe. It worked out well when she was training the dog, or when she was setting different examples.
So the night came where the mom had to go; she went out of the house and drove to the airport, leaving her daughter behind with the dog.
So that night, the girl goes to bed and nothing happened much. She dozed of and soon fell asleep with the dog also sleeping beside her bed.
In the middle of the night, at about a quarter to twelve, the girl was awoken by a sound; a sort of drip-drip-drip sound that was usually heard from a loose faucet. A thought came to her that maybe she left the tap open. It was bothering her, and she couldn't sleep.
So she decided to go and turn it off; she extends her hand over to where the dog was and feels her hand being licked twice. Deciding that it was safe, she stood up, off her bed, and headed down for their kitchen. As she entered the kitchen, she headed towards the faucet, but then finds that the tap isn't on.
The little girl slowly went back up her room, half asleep. She flopped herself onto the bed and slowly dozed off. But just when she was about to finally fall asleep, she heard the noise once again; the drip-drip sound she heard about five minutes ago.
She stuck her arm out of the bed; and feeling her dog lick twice, she decided it was safe.
So the little girl hastily sat up, and got off the bed, yawning in the process. Then, she thought for a moment…
'The tap in the kitchen is securely turned off' she thought, reassuring herself. Pausing to think, she decided that maybe it was the bathroom found inside of her room.
She headed towards the bathroom, and entered it as she reached the door. She turned her attention towards the faucet and, to her dismay, found it tightly turned off and it wasn't dripping.
Sighing, she went out the bathroom and headed back to her bed.
It wasn't long before she heard the sound of dripping water once again. So she stuck out her arm; she received two licks upon her risk and, she sat up.
She went out of her room and into the dark corridor. She walked straight towards the hallway that led towards her mom's bedroom, thinking that it was her mom's tap that was open.
She entered the dark room and cold breeze rushed pass through her. She shuddered and wrapped her arms around herself, to be warm. As her eyes started getting used to the darkness, she turned her attention upon the open window. It troubled her why her mother would open her window in such a cold night. She shook the thought away and headed towards the bathroom to turn out the open faucet.
She opened the door that leads in the bathroom and saw that the faucet wasn't open. She headed straight towards the showers and slowly opened the curtain.
She swung the curtain open, to see her mother's bathtub, and there she saw the least she expected…
It was her dog, hanged by a wire attached to the ceiling, with blood from its gashes and open body parts, dripping down to the bath tub as it drained the blood, -drip, drip, drip-.
The next day was just another typical day, or at least, that was what the mother thought as she came home from her business trip. When she went home, there she found her daughter, not happy and well as she expected but dead and hanging right beside her dog in the bath tub…with a dripping sound of the little girl's own blood.
So the moral of the story is:
Humans can lick too…
end of story
ravenXrouge: the end… any comments?
maniac1010: that was so cool…
crazie--blonde: you're kidding… it's creepy…
troublesome/guy: that's exactly the point, you know…
crazie--blonde: I'm not dumb
troublesome/guy: and that's exactly what I thought you were…
insanely--sakura: well, I think it deserves an 11 out of 10
i-luv-ramen: Yeah… and at least it has good morals…
maniac1010: good what?
i-luv-ramen: morals… I mean, just because dogs can lick doesn't mean humans can't! And that's exactly what the lesson in the story is! Humans can lick, too! Stupid dogs- think they know everything… think they're so special, just because they can lick better than humans…
crazie--blonde: What the-?
insanely--sakura: slaps forehead
troublesome/guy: you might think you can beat a dog in the licking contest… but I'm pretty sure dogs have a higher IQ than you do…
i-luv-ramen: What's an IQ?
i-luv-ramen: International Quiz? Important Question? Intelligent Queen?
crazie--blonde: any more stupid guesses?
i-luv-ramen: How about 'I Quit' in guessing these stupid two letters?
sk8tfr3k: the letters aren't stupid. It's you… and your so-called brain.
ravenXrouge: whoa, he has a brain? Didn't know that…
shygirl1218: you guys are so mean…
sk8tfr3k: oh right, I forgot, Hinata likes Naruto…
maniac1010: I bet Hinata's blushing like hell…
insanely--sakura: I think so too!
shygirl1218: g-guys… d-drop the subject.
crazie--blonde: is it just me or do you still really stutter in the internet. How do you do that? You don't stutter in the computer. You just type…
shygirl1218: I have my ways, Ino
crazie--blonde: Oh fine…hehe…
maniac1010: anyway, drop all topics; gtg, it's like, so late…miss Kurenai's here and wants us to log-off
sk8tfr3k: Yeah, she's such a spaz… she's like 'oh you kids go to sleep now! What the heck are you still doing here!' and I told her Sir Kakashi allowed us, and she stormed off to the teachers' lounge.
shygirl1218: omg
insanely--sakura: lol, she's so gonna kill Sir Kakashi…
ravenXrouge: well, I'm staying. The computer lab's open 24 hrs.
sk8tfr3k: she told you to log-off, Uchiha
ravenXrouge: Mind your own business…
i-luv-ramen: oh whatever… I need to sleep too… hey Shikamaru, can I borrow your pillow?
troublesome/guy: no
i-luv-ramen: oh, really? Cuz I already have it…
troublesome/guy: drop it now!
i-luv-ramen: but it's so soft and fluffy…and it has Buzz Lightyear covers…hehe
troublesome/guy: I do not have a buzz lightyear covers
i-luv-ramen: I have a web cam right here… want me to show it?
troublesome/guy: shut up and log off
i-luv-ramen has logged-off
maniac1010: gtg too, bye bye! Good night! Sweet dreams!
insanely--sakura: you expect me to have sweet dreams after we tell our scary stories?
ravenXrouge: hey pinky, you should try sticking out your hand in the middle of the night. Then suddenly… someone licks you…
insanely--sakura: omg, could you like, stop?
maniac1010: I'm gonna go now…I don't think I wanna hear Sakura and Sasuke's fight…
crazie--blonde: bye!
maniac1010 has logged-off
sk8tfr3k has logged-off
shygirl1218: bye Sakura, Ino… gtg
crazie--blonde: bye! Cya
insanely--sakura: night-night… cya…
shygirl1218 has just logged-off
Just then, Shikamaru heard a sound coming from his computer. He lowered down the previous conversation and red the new message.
crazie--blonde: I never knew you were still 'in' to buzz lightyear
troublesome/guy: I'm not…
crazie--blonde: you seemed troubled when Naruto was going to turn on the web cam
troublesome/guy: you wanna know the truth? Fine, I had that pillow a looooong time ago and my parents just doesn't want to buy me another one
crazie--blonde: hm… that sounds honest enough… I guess…
Shikamaru turned his head towards Ino, "It is…" he said, as he saw Ino roll her eyes.
"Sure… Whatever…"
"Oh fine… don't believe me…"
"I do!" Ino said, "Well fine, you're the one that doesn't believe me…"
A groan was then heard and caused Shikamaru and Ino to face towards that direction.
"Could you guys cut it out…?" Sakura said, "It's like pass twelve and all you do is argue…"
"Fine…" Ino stated.
"Whatever…" Shikamaru said as he groaned.
troublesome/guy has logged off
0o0o0o0o0oback at the chatroom0o0o0o0o0o0o0
insanely--sakura: well, gtg, b-bye… Ino, shut up and let's go
crazie--blonde: I thought you said to finish my fight with Shikamaru?
insanely--sakura: I told you to end it… it's so pointless…
crazie--blonde: and the difference?
insanely--sakura: oh, you think I know?
crazie--blonde: -sighs- whatever…
crazie--blonde has logged off
insanely--sakura: fine… whatever, gtg… bye
insanely--sakura has left the conversation
Sakura was about to log-off until she heard a sound, with a window, popping out of the computer's desktop.
ravenXrouge: Hello, Haruno…
insanely--sakura: bye, Uchiha…
ravenXrouge: Hey! Get back here!
insanely--sakura: what do you want?
ravenXrouge: I'm bored and I've got nothing better to do
insanely--sakura: you think I care?
ravenXrouge: you're gonna have to cuz you're stuck with me. Unless you want to join Ino and Nara
insanely--sakura: I'm not joining anyone except Mr. Pillow and Mr. Bed. I'm sure they miss me as much as I miss them
ravenXrouge: you're such a retard…
insanely--sakura: you're such a psycho…
ravenXrouge: oh, c'mon; just keep me company… I've got nothing to kill time
insanely--sakura: you know what you should do?
ravenXrouge: I'm listening…
insanely--sakura: bump into a pole like you did yesterday. You'll be doing both me and yourself a favour.
ravenXrouge: how d'ya know about the stupid pole?
insanely--sakura: I was there when you were playing basketball. I was there when you ran into that pole. I was there when you fell onto the ground with a concussion. And I was there when they rushed you to the clinic. I was there… I was always there, Sasuke…
ravenXrouge: awww… thanks… I appreciate that…
insanely--sakura: I was also there standing with no doubt about letting you faint in embarrassment, I was there laughing my heart out, I was there laughing with all the people around you…seeing their oh-so-popular classmate run into a pole…
ravenXrouge: …………………
insanely--sakura: and I was there with a camera…
ravenXrouge: holy crap… you were with what!
insanely--sakura: I was there capturing every single moment and I dared not to miss a thing. I was also there to capture your blushing face. After that, I wasn't there anymore…
ravenXrouge: good riddance…
insanely--sakura: Guess what: I was with Sir Kakashi, giving him all the pictures that I've taken, for him to publish it in the yearbook…
ravenXrouge: YOU DID WHAT?
insanely--sakura: well… gtg, bye!
insanely--sakura has logged off
"I swear…one day, I'll just kill that girl …" he grunted before turning towards the computer.
ravenXrouge had logged off
There ya go! Another chapter! I'm sorry if it's a little confusing since they were in a chat room.
So anyway, I know I'm really lame, asking you these questions since I can't decide for myself. I didn't change my username cuz most people like lainey-bo-bainey and I think it's about time I stop changing my name.
Anyway, so far, there are 6 votes for first person and 5 votes for third person. For me… I think I enjoy reading and writing in first person better. I have reasons, one: first person has advantages because it expresses more emotion and it sounds more natural. Second: it creates suspense since it only shows the reader one side of the story and that is the main character's POV. It limits their view of the story by only showing them one side of it. Third: it has more votes. Hehe…
But another question: let's say IF I DID write in first person, is it okay to change POVs? Maybe just for the maximum of 5 changes…for example this character's POV, then another character's POV. But just a few times through-out the story. So, is that okay?
For those who haven't answered the survey yet… please do, here it is:
Question: if you guys read stories, either fan fictions or just a pocket book, what seems easier and better to read? The ones written in…
1. FIRST person point of view
(ex. I gulped slowly letting his words sink into my mind. I felt afraid. I wanted to cry. I needs someone to turn to… sometimes, some things are not meant to be told; for it is too much to handle. I finally understood what that meant)
2. THIRD person point of view
(ex. She gulped slowly, letting his words sink in to her mind. She felt afraid, She wanted to cry, She needs someone to turn to…sometimes, some things are not meant to be told, for it is too much to handle. She finally understood what that meant)
Thanks a million, sorry if my A/N is so long… anyway,
Bye!
