Chapter Two

There was a loud scream off in the distance before Naruto could continue reading. Then the book flashed bright magenta and the pages rustled.

"Okay… that was weird. Anyways, chapter three!

'You are Willow, a bright young girl with a smile to die for and beautiful pearl-colored eyes.'"

"Grr… pearl eyes…" Neji muttered under his breath, causing Shikamaru and Ino to stare at him. "

'After waking up in the forest, you start walking towards the patch of sunlight a little way off and stumble into a clearing. There is a young man training a few feet away from you. He has raven-black hair, and wears a headband with the symbol of a leaf on his forehead. As he spins and is about to kick a tree trunk, you smile and expertly step in, blocking his kick'-"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he glared at the book. Sakura and Ino had their mouths wide open in shock.

"-'and sending him spinning through the air. He pivots and delivers a punch straight to your heart, which you dodge gracefully.'"

Suddenly, Naruto felt the book being seized from him by someone. He looked up to see Sasuke with a maddened look on his face as he skimmed the rest of the page, then started tearing out the pages.

"Hey! Hey, teme! What are you doing? I'm reading that!" Naruto jumped up and tried to yank the book back. Sakura ran up and started tugging at it, too.

"Sasuke, stop!" she shouted.

"No! I won't let you have it! I am sick and tired of seeing girl after girl fall into my world and develop ridiculous relationships with me as I fall helplessly at their feet! (Yes, this means Sasuke reads fanfiction at his house.) I can't take it any longer! YAHHHHHHHHHH!" Sasuke raised the book high above his head and started to tear at its cheap cover.

KICK!

"YOSH!" A flash of green and pink as Rock Lee screeched to a halt with the book in his hand. "I have decided! I myself shall rip up this horror and therefore save our youthful minds from further damage!" Everyone stared blankly as he did the nice guy pose and flashed his eerily bright teeth at them. Sakura was the first to come back to her senses.

"That's nice, Lee, but I think I will be the one that rips this baby up." She reached for the book, but to her surprise, Lee stepped away.

"Alas, my delicate blossom, I cannot have your hands tainted with the… the…"

"Crap?" Sakura suggested.

"I was going to say dirt, but close enough, that this book contains. So, I am sorry friends, but I'm afraid I must-"

SLASH! Everyone watched in shock as the book's hideous pink cover fell neatly apart into two pieces on the floor.

"There, that's done with. Now we can all go do something else." Tenten declared proudly, snatching her kunai from the air and sticking it into her pouch.

"W-well, I guess that's… it, then." Hinata said quietly from her seat next on the step next to the book.

"Good. I'm going home. This Share-a-Story day is just too troublesome for me." Shikamaru said, walking away from the monument with his hands clasped behind his head.

Everyone else was just walking away when Chouji, who had remained behind to finish his bag of chips, let out a scream of terror.

"Chouji! What is it?" Ino ran back to her teammate, who had actually dropped his precious chips in order to point at the spot where the book lay, WHOLE AND UNDAMAGED!

"Ha. Nice work, Tenten." Kiba snickered, as everyone rushed back to the steps.

"Shut up! That book fell into two separate pieces before we left!" Tenten ran up to the book and inspected it. "I don't get it. I'm positive I destroyed it."

"It's not your fault. There's something not right about that book." Neji said, frowning. The next second, he had pulled a kunai from his pouch and hurled it at the book, slicing it clean through. As it fell to the floor, there was a bright glow, and the pieces connected and became one again.

"Oh, no wonder Akamaru was so restless today! I kept ignoring him because I thought he just didn't like the book. I mean, who in their right mind would, right?" Kiba said, staring up at Akamaru on his head.

"I think we need to take this to Tsunade, guys. I'm scared." Sakura said, her hands clasped in front of her chest in a worried way.

"Do not fear, dearest Sakura! I shall protect you! I myself will bring this monstrosity to our most esteemed gondaime-" As Lee bent down to pick up the book, there was another blur of green, and he felt himself knocked off his feet. "Gai-sensei!"
