Chapter Five
Plotting Payback:
Sasuke's plan of action
While the girls were working on their plan against Lee, the boys were sitting outside of the place that Choji, Shikamaru, and Ino always ate being called there by Sasuke. Choji was munching down on something (what else would he be doing?), Naruto was eating something as well (ramen most likely), Shikamaru was sitting beside the two looking up at the few clouds that were floating over their heads, Sai was standing beside Choji and Naruto shaking his head at them, Kiba and Akamaru were running around ruff housing, Neji was standing not far away with his eyes close (mostly likely so he wouldn't have to look at Naruto and Choji), Shino and Rock Lee were there as well just standing around. Sasuke came just as Choji and Naruto started arguing about what tasted better, Ramen or BBQ pork.
"Ramen comes in different flavors!"
"BQQ Pork tastes great no matter what!"
"Can it you two." Sighed Sasuke as he came to a stop in front of the two.
"Hey Sasuke what's up?" asked Kiba walking over to join to group.
"The girls that's what."
"Oh yeah, I heard what Sakura pulled on you two!" Choji started to laugh but stopped when Naruto and Sasuke both gave him death glares.
"Let me guess, your thinking of some way to get them back right?" asked Neji.
"Exactly. We can not let them get away with this."
"Well, I did my part." Sighed Shikamaru leaning back and closing his eyes.
"Yeah you did but not the rest of us, any ideas?" said Kiba glaring at Shikamaru.
"The best plan would be to wait till they get Shino and Rock Lee then get them at the Cherry Blossom Festival." Said Neji, smirking at Lee.
"Oh no you…." Started Lee but Naruto interpreted him.
"He's right, and look at it this way the worse that could happen is you get your hair dyed pink." Said Naruto looking at Neji with a way too cocky smile which earned him a whack on the back of his head.
"Wait, so Lee and I are suppose to just let the girls get us?!" said Shino.
"Don't worry, what I got planned should make up for all the pranks that they have or will pull. Smirked Sasuke, "But we all have to be in this or it won't work."
"I'm in!" yelled Naruto raising his hand.
"Us too!" barked Kiba and Akamaru.
"I guess I don't have a choice. What a drag." ((Three guess who said that))
"Hmm, a chance to pay back TenTen for my pink hair? I am sooo in."
"Me too." Said Choji raising his chopsticks before putting them into his mouth.
"Sounds good to me." Smiled Sai.
"Fine." Said Shino.
"The girls may have great youthful fires but they will not be out done by ours!" yelled Lee.
"Lee."
"Yes, Naruto?"
"Just Shut up and help us come up with a plan."
Back at Team seven's training grounds….
"Okay, so what are you thinking for Lee Ino?" mumbled Sakura rubbing her eyes. (She was taking a nap when Ino woke her up with a new prank idea).
"It's not much but okay, what if you lure Lee into the woods right into a pit of something."
Sakura looked at her blonde friend, placed her hand on her hips and she said,
"That is your great plan?"
"Hey, you try and come up with something better! It was either that or does what TenTen said and sip suke in his drink and make sure that Naruto, Neji, and Guy is in the area and pray that he doesn't go all "drunken fist" on them."
"Yeah, okay, okay you're right and I know just what to fill the pit trap with."
"What?" Ino asked raising an eyebrow.
"I got some pink paint at my house." She smiled evilly.
Ino matched her smile and they rushed over to Sakura's place to put her plan into action.
Much Later…..
Rock Lee was train as usual at his team's training grounds, (101 high kicks) when he heard some one yell out for him.
"HEY LEE!"
Lee stopped and whirled around to see Sakura smiling at him.
"Sakura! What is it the beauty of youth?" he asked starting to go towards her.
"Oh nothing." She smiled then started to run. Lee thinking Sakura wanted to talk some else, gave chase. Sasuke was training not far away when he heard Lee and Sakura laughing. He jumped into a tree to see Sakura running and Lee giving chase. He activated his Sharingan to see not far away from him, Ino was crouched in a tree with an evil grin on her face. He smiled and quietly snuck in front of Sakura.
Sakura was running for all her worth. Just as she came up to the tree were the trap was, she felt two strong pairs of arms grasped her and pull her up. She looked to see that she was in the lap and nose to nose to the one and only Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke!"
"Well, well, what do we have here?" the raven-hair ninja chuckled, not letting Sakura go, even though she was squirming to try and get free from his grasp.
"And what do you think you are doing? Not trying to lure bushy brows into some sort of trap are we? I saw Ino so I guess that is a yes?"
"No, Sasuke! I mean, YES, but…, let me down! If he doesn't see me he might not fall into….!"
"Sakura?" Lee scratched his head just short of where Ino and the trap was.
"Ah crap! Stupid billboard brow where are you?" thought Ino wondering what the heck to do now.
Lee shrugged and started to walk back thinking Sakura went back to the training field. Ino quickly threw a rock to make a noise to lead him back.
"Uh? Sakura?"
Fortunately, it worked for Lee fell right into a pit of pink paint. Sakura sighed a breath of relief then turned to look Sasuke right in the eye.
"You jerk! You almost ruined that! What, was it pay back for the garbage?"
Sasuke shook his head no, making Sakura's eyes widen, Sasuke smirked, kissed her on the forehead, the let a shocked Sakura down on the ground before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"WHAT IS THIS STUFF?!"
Sakura whipped around to see a cherry blossom colored from head to toe Lee walking towards her. She sighed a smile then walked up to him.
"Gotcha." She giggled as Ino came to stand beside them.
"Uh? Oh, OH. Very clever you two." He smirked. He congratulated them on their youthful cleverness or something like that then started back to town to wash off the pink paint. When he was out of hearing, Ino glared daggers at Sakura and said,
"Where were you?! It almost failed because of you?! What were you doing?!"
"Sorry Ino pig! It wasn't my fault! Sasuke snuck up behind me and grabbed me!"
"SASUKE!?"
"Yeah, he knew what we were planning so he kept me in his lap until…"
"HIS LAP?"
"Yes his lap Ino. Once Lee fell in he kissed me on the cheek and then ran off. I think that the guys are plotting something…."
"HE KISSED YOU?!!!!"
Sakura sighed and turned to Ino.
"YES Ino right on my cheek. I think we need to call a meeting, I think we may have something coming our way."
Back at Ino's family flower shop…
"He nodded no, kissed you on the cheek, then left?" asked Temari wide- eyed making sure she had heard right while Hinata and TenTen giggled as Ino pouted a little at Sakura. TenTen, Hinata, Ino, and Sakura were sitting at a round table, (Hinata and TenTen facing the door, Ino and Sakura backs facing it), and Temari was sitting on the counter.
"I-I think Sakura's right, they must be plan-ning to get back at us for all the jokes." Said Hinata softly.
"Yeah, well, even if they are which is most likely we need to work on something first then worry about what they are plotting." Sighed Temari.
Sakura nodded in agreement.
Back to Lee….
Lee was walking back to his place and unfortunately, Neji and Naruto saw him and laughed at his now pink outfit and hair for a good straight ten minutes.
Sasuke then appeared and he too chortled a little at Lee then said,
"The girls I think are running out of ideas. The last two weren't extremely well plan considering I discover both pranks."
"Uh, maybe Shino will luck out then." Smiled Neji still looking at his teammate with satisfaction. Naruto looked at them thoughtfully then ran off.
"Hey Naruto where are you going?" called Lee.
"You'll see!" he yelled back without stopping.
"What are we going to do for Shino?" grumbled Ino massaging her temples.
"I don't know, can you think of anything that would really get to him Hinata?" asked Sakura turning to look at the heiress.
"N-no not really."
"Oh, hey girls what's up?" suddenly came a male voice from behind Sakura.
"Go away Naruto." Sakura muttered not bothering to turn around.
"Trying to think of something to pull on Shino?"
"GO AWAY." Growled his teammate.
"Hey, I got an idea that you might want to heeeaarr…"
"We do not I repeat do not need anyone else's help especially YOURS." Said Sakura finally turning around in her chair to face him.
"Come on Sakura…."
"Okay I'll bite Naruto, what is this plan of your and what do you want?" sighed TenTen.
"I don't want any thing just a promise that you all will make sure that Shino gets a joke played on him and my plan involves this…"
Naruto pulled out a small vile with a clear liquid and shook in front of Sakura's face.
"It's laughing potion. Shino's family used it on him a few summers ago to teach him a lesson. Just slip it into his drink and he'll laugh his head off, bugs and all."
"Why do I have this feeling that this is going to be some sort of trick to get back at us?"
"No, I swear Temari-Chan, I'm just trying to help!"
"I repeat we don't need your help."
"Right, the trick on Lee really proved that you don't need help."
Sakura glared at Naruto then at the vile in his hand. She thought for a second then took it off him.
"If this turns out to be some sort of trick for us, I swear on the honor of the Fourth Hokage that I will personally hunt you down and murder you myself do I make myself clear?" growled Sakura throwing Temari the vile.
"Understood. Actually there is one condition…."
"What? That we all treat you ramen or something?" sighed TenTen.
"Actually yes!"
Ino, TenTen, Temari and Sakura all sighed while Hinata giggled and blushed.
"This had better work Naruto." Said Temari in a dangerous voice getting down from her perch.
"Oh don't worry it will and when it does, we will be laughing as hard as Shino." Grinned Naruto walking away.
