Third chapter, dear readers! I wrote this... I don't remember when.

AAAAANYWAY... Let's get back to the action!

Sasuke: Am I in this chapter?

beanpaste-chan: Yes.

Sasuke: Naruto, too?

beanpaste-chan: Yes.

Naruto: YAYS!

Ino woke up, pulled a lobster out of her shirt, and proceeded to try to make a fire. She had already had a screaming fight with Neji, and she wasn't sure how he'd be that morning. She hummed as she rubbed two sticks together.

"You piss me off." Neji had just appeared, rubbing grit out of his eyes and stretching.

Ino smiled wryly. "Good morning to you, too! Now, what do you want, for breakfast, lobster or lobster? Or maybe even some lobster!"

"Shut up," Neji muttered, yawning. "If we want to win, we have to get going quickly."

"Get going to do what? All we need to do is survive. We can just sit here, relax, eat some lobster... Y'know, lobsters go for, like, ten bucks a pop back at home. We're living the ultimate luxury: sittin' on a beach, eating lobster..."

He yawned. "Whatever."

"Just think of this, it's better than school! Right about now, you'd have to be doing math..."

Neji glared. "I like school."

Ino looked at him strangely. "You're crazy. Or stupid. Or both."

"We have to work together if we want to get a million dollars," Neji growled. "Hand me a lobster, I'm hungry."

"Ah, lobster in the morning. Better than Lucky Charms," Ino sighed. "All we need is some water, and we're good to go. I'll go look, nerd."

"Don't call me that!" Neji yelled after her.

Ino gasped, a few meters away from Neji. "Oh my god. Neji, come look at this!"

He came rushing in, and gasped. "Oh my gosh, this is incredible!"

"I know, isn't it?"

They had stumbled on a rushing, clear waterfall, sparkling with clear water. Small, silvery fish swam happily under the rushing liquid.

"Let's tell the others about this..."

"You know what, Ino? If we want to survive, we have to outlast all the others. We need to survive... Get it?"

Ino cocked her head. "Um... no?"

Neji sighed, exasperated. "If we don't tell anybody about this, they'll all die of dehydration and we'll win."

Her face brightened and split into a grin that could only be described as 'evil'. "Neji, we're gonna have fish tonight. No more lobster for us!"

Sasuke trudged through the dense undergrowth. "Dammit!" he screamed as a bush snagged and scratched him, leaving a bleeding cut. There was no way he could live on lobster. There was no way Naruto could live only on lobster. They had split up to find another food source, and now he was lost.

"Dammit, dammit, dammit!" he shrieked, whacking away a bush. "Dammit-" His face spread into a grin as he saw what lay in front of him, and ran back to camp.

"Sasuke, didn't find any... Holy crap, where'd you find all that?" Naruto stared at the coconuts spread out on the ground, counting with his eyes. "HOLY CRAP, you got twenty? Where'd you find all these? Where-"

"They were all on these trees. Took me a few trips to get them all back, but look, they're still good!" He gestured with a pale hand to an open coconut. One half was filled with thick white meat. Naruto launched himself upon it, sticking his face in the meat. Sasuke leaned back against a tree, grinning like a madman. "Jeez, I haven't felt this good in years. It's so much better than school, or anything, for that matter. I'm free to do whatever the hell I want, and I like that."

Naruto wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "I hear ya, I hear ya."

Sasuke removed a lobster from his shoe, and put it on. Falling asleep against the tree, he thought he could see something running through the dense jungle, but disregarded it. It was probably just one of the other contestants, he thought as he drifted off into dreams.

Oooh, look at all the pretty suspense!

I started reading Battle Royale for 'research' for this story. It's pretty good! Not disturbing at all!

I need to read Lord of the Flies, too. Just for 'research'.

Be nice and review, please? It is my Hellbunny's will...
