Chapter six: slopes & dares

Everyone hid in their places around the cabin, including old Mr. "TG". They spent a couple hours this morning decorating the cabin with streamers, balloons, and a really badly made sign that read "happy birthday Tenten"

Speaking of tenten, she was supposed to be arriving any time now. After about five minutes of dead silence, a voice was heard from behind the couch.

"I'm hungry."

"Shut up!" hissed a feminine voice from under the tables.

A door creaking was then heard and voice rang, "is anyone here?" Ino snapped her fingers and on cue, everyone got up yelling "happy birthday tenten!!"

Tenten, startled, looked surprised and happy.

"You guys!" she said on the verge of tears. Hinata and Ino went to go hug her. Mr. "TG" tapped tenten on her shoulder.

"Granpoppy!" tenten greeted, giving her ojee-san a nice big hug, "I missed you!"

Mr. TG & tenten then did a series of weird hand movements, spinning, and hip swinging.

"you still remember!" the old man chuckles as everyone else had the "…" look on their face.

"it's our special little handshake."

"Well…anyway" ino continued, "let's go out to the snow!!!!"

The ladies & germs were out by the ski rental, getting their skiis/snowboards, and headed for the lifts.

"let's go to the beginner one" Ino said.

"are you KIDDING ME!?!?" naruto shouted, "beginner one is TOO boring…let's go to the EXTREME!!"

"no… we'll just go on the intermediate one. That's fair." Tenten said.

"fine…" naruto said, a bit disappointed.

"Up the lifts we go!" Ino shouted with enthusiasm, grabbing Shikamaru's arm & sitting on the lift.

Neji & tenten followed, along with gaara & hinata and naruto & poor kiba.

"We really need to get ourselves a girlfriend." Kiba said, sadly.

"nah buddy, I got you!"

Kiba looked petrified, "y-y-your n-no-ot -g-g-g-g-g-gay are you?"

"WHAT!?!" naruto screamed, "I AM NOT GAY!! OOOKAY!! AND IF I WAS I WOULDN'T BE WITH SOMEONE AS HIDIOUS AS YOU!! I'D RATHER BE WITH MY PRECIOUS RAMEN!!!!!"

Everyone, including the people below them stared at naruto & kiba.

"oh my gosh" kiba groaned, shaking his head.

"What?" naruto asked, clueless

"-sigh-"

They arrived at the top of the hill and they put on their boards/skis.

"This hill seems a bit high…" hinata said a bit worried.

'It's ok hinata-chan!!" Naruto shouted cheerfully on his snowboard which slowly started to go down the slope, "I'm PRO with all this skiing & snowboarding st—AHHH!!!!"

Naruto sped down the hill screaming "MOMMMY!!! RAMEN!!!" and bonked straight into a tree.

"baka" neji said, shaking his head.

Gaara then put on his goggles and started down the slope, his red hair flowing in the wind. He did an ollie off a small mogul & then spun a 360 in the air with a prefect land. Then he skidded up a side ramp, pulling the board up to a "u" shape, landing a perfect halfpipe!

"wow" shikamaru said, awake by the amazement.

"he's good!" tenten exclaimed.

Neji, noticing how awed tenten was, scoffed, "I could do better."

"yeah yeah…whatever. Let's go down now."

Tenten & neji skidded down along with shikamaru, ino, and kiba. But hinata, being the beginner she is but too embarrassed to say so, accidentally hit a big mogul that increased her speed down the slope.

"AH!!" she screamed as she passed by her friends & other people infront. She didn't know how to stop the stupid skiis.

She ended up bumping into our PRO snowboarder and fall down on the cold snow.

"gomen" she said as Gaara gave her a helping hand. Hinata dusted the snow off herself.

"um.. y-you're very good at snowboarding…" hinata said, trying to make conversation.

"yeaah…uh…."

"OOH!!" Ino interrupted, "We saw your hella cool stunts there, Gaara. Thryin to impress the ladies?"

Gaara stiffened…that blond scared him.

"OOOFMPH!" they turned around to see naruto getting up, spitting out snow, groaning.

That blond scared him too.

"uhhghg…I want ramen…." He whimpered.

"bye then…go on your own." Ino said, "We're going back up."

"we are!?" Shikamaru asked.

Ino gave him the LOOK and pulled him towards the lift as neji & tenten followed.

"Fine. I'm going to the cabin." Naruto said, walking towards the cabin, "and make HOT chocolate with the fluffiest marshmallows on top and—ooof" poor dude fell on the snow.

"I'll come with you" kiba said walking towards him, "wouldn't want you to cause trouble now."

"NANI?!?! Oomph"

"-sigh-"

"umm… do we follow?" Hinata asked.

"mmm.. dunno"

"-sigh- I think I'll go. I'm not really good at skiing."

"-cough- I can teach you."

"really?"

So here they were, at the rental cabin to trade the board for skiis. The two went to the BEGINNER slope lifts in silence.

'don't look down. Don't look down.' Hinata said to herself. Unfortunately, due to a little rockiness, hinata peeked & yelped from the height, squeezing and leaning towards gaara. He slightly blushed at how close they were.

'woot! Way to go gaara. She is clearlyinterested!'

'not you again'

'yeah that's right. It's the WAY better, Way cooler, and WAY more fun (not to mention WAY better looking) Gaara. At your service'

'what do you want??'

'you to get a girl. –tears fall- I'm so lonely'

'no.'

'what's wrong with you?? Now is THE perfect chance. This chic obviously has a thing for you'

'you scare me'

'well smart one, I am YOU so YOU are scary.'

'go away before I wring your neck.'

'well have fun wringing your own neck. I'll leave you for now but I expect a girlfriend by my next visit.'

'why can't I be normal?'

"Gaara-kun?" Hinata said, waving her hand infront of his face.

"huh?"

"you seemed a bit…. Dazed."

"oh…sorry"

They got off the lifts as the chilly wind blew in their faces. Gaara started to explain how to ski ( I really dunno that much things about skiis so…hehe)

"ya got it?"

"I think so…"

"okay." Gaara put on his uber cool goggles on and gave hinata a thumbs up. She slightly blushed and nodded.

Hinata slowly pushed off the skiis and went at an average speed down the smooth slope, using the poled to change directions, just as gaara taught her too.

'this is actually fun' she thought happily.

The slope ended and hinata a grin plastered on her face.

"how was it?" gaara asked, halting to a stop next to her.

"good –smile-"

After using up all their energy out in the snow, Gaara, hinata, and the others went back into the cabin.

"I'll make us all some hot chocolate" hinata gladly said, walking into the kitchen.

"say…" gaara started, "where's naruto & kiba?"

--------out on the EXTREME EXTREME slope-------

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

----------back to the cabin--------------------

"hmmm…" ino thought, "beats me"

Hinata then walked in with a tray full of hot chocolate and marshmallows.

"Thanks" they said in unison, sipping the warm liquid.

Around after dinner, a battered & bruised up kiba & naruto limped through the cabin doors.

"What happened?" Ino asked in disgust of their features while neji and gaara helped them (shikamaru was knocked out cold)

"d-d-d-d-ooon'tt e-ee-even a-a-askkkk" kiba wearily stated, "t-t-t-t-ttthis st-stupid bb-baka n-nnearly KILLLED US!!"

They helped the two hurt creatures into the room.

"r…ra…ra-aameen" naruto whispered. Ino slapped him

"OW"

"shut up & sleep"

The friends went down stairs.

"SOOOOO" tenten said, "what now??"

"MUahahhahahaha!!!" ino laughed with an evil twink in her eye & flames in the background, "truth or DARE!!"

"-groansss-"

"aw shut the whining." She said. "bday girl first! Truth or dare??"

"ummm….dare"

"ok…hmmmm….hmmmm..hmmmm… i GOT it…pull. Off. Your. Buns."

"WHAT!?!?!"

"do it do it do it" everyone chanted. No one has seen tenten without her buns. Not even Neji. With a sigh, tenten pulled off the hair ties & brown wavy hair fell down to the length of her shoulders.

"OOOH!!" ino sang, "beautiful hair darling!!"

Neji slightly blushed. Let's not talk about what was going on in perverted little Neji's mind.

"ook…" tenten said, "shikamaur. Truth or dare?"

"-snore- ksldfj huh? Whuh?"

"truth or dare???"

"sleep." He fell back on the couch & snored.

"fine… hinata! Truth or dare??"

"umm…" hinata was deep in thought. She didn't want to do truth because…let's just say that Ino get really REALLY scary when you do truth… "dare"

Ino laughed hysterically…

"I know the PERFECT dare!!! Kiss gaara on the nose!!!"

"w-what????"

"wait….what? MY nose??"

'I told you she's interested.'

'now isn't the time stupid…stupid whatever you are.'

"hey but…"

"chillax…"tenten told neji, "Don't be SO overprotective of your cuz.."

Hinata started turning red, heart beating very very fast.

"do it NOW!!!" tenten & ino yelled.

HInata…who was obviously scared… inched closer & closer towards gaara's little nose and said "i-I can't do—"

"JUST DO IT!!!"

Hinata shut her eyes closed & slowly her lips brushed against gaara's nose. She literally turned as red as gaara's hair.

"awwww…" ino & tenten hummed in the background, "our little hinata…all grown up"

Hinata pulled away & hid her face in her hands. Gaara turned red too.

'congratulations!!'

'-floating on clouds-'

'you are seriously in love my brother. I see my work here is done.'

"OOK!!" ino shouted, "NEXT!!"

"Neji niisan…truth or dare??"

"dare"

"I KNOW KNOWKNOW!!!" ino shouted like a mad woman, "CUT YOUR HAIR!!!!!!!!!!"

"NOOO!!!" neji screamed like a girl.

"What's going on?' naruto asked, walking down the stairs from the room.

"We're cutting neji's hair"

"WHAT! Without me?!?!" naruto ran to his room & came back out with a shiny pair of scissors saying, "oookay…hold him down. Let me snip it."

They scrambled to hold neji down.

"NO!!! stop!! My precious hair!!"

Snip.

"NOOO!!!" Neji bursted & ran towards naruto who held a clump of neji's hair, "I WILL KILL YOU!!!"

"please… calm down!!" ino yelled. "ok…go neji."

Still fuming, Neji asked, "NARUTO… truth or DARE!?"

"you don't scare me NEJI!! DARE"

"you can't eat ramen for a week!!"

"what kind of dare is THAT!?!"

Naruto & Neji started fighting in the background, as the others re-started the game.

"Gaara…truth or dare?"

"truth." Ok…he was too cool to admit it but he was scared of the blond girl & the dares she made everyone do. Well, maybe except for hinata's. it was actually…nice.

"I see…" ino said, "chicken eh?"

"how was your first kiss? Details!"

Hmmm…who was his first kiss? Maybe that girl from years ago? Well…it was on the cheek but…

"don't wanna tell & you can't make me"

"oh I can!!" INo said, evilly.

"Or maybe he never had his first kiss yet!" Naruto yelled from the the back, still fighting with neji.

"ooooooh…I see. Don't be shy virgin lips."

Gaara twitched. Virgin lips??

'wow. I love that blond girl. Where did she think of a name like that? VIRGIN LIPS!!!'

'since you say that you ARE me…then I guess you are virgin lips too.'

'What? Wait? NOO!!! This can't be!! –goes away to sulk in a dark corner- i? virgin lips?'

"you" gaara said, pointing at the blond, "truth or dare??" time for payback.

"Hey…You has a name & dare."

Everyone thought of a really horrible one Ino can do… but what?

"Go strip around the cabins" Shikamaru said, cheeks tinted red.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE SLEEPING!?!?!" ino shouted.

"oh yea… sorry.-snore-"

Neji & Naruto, finally tired to fighting, sat down with the group.

"what's going on?" naruto asked.

"dare for ino…"

Naruto did his cool thinking pose for a second and said, "don't talk for the rest of the day."

Everyone looked up at Naruto in amazement. How did he think of that?

"WHAT?? What do you mean DON'T TALK!!"

"That is the perfect dare!" tenten said.

"oh yea!" naruto said, "who's da bomb? Who's da bomb?"

"-crickets-"

"Let's go sleep." Tenten said.

"yeah…" they agreed except for ino who wasn't allowed to talk.

"hey1" naruto said, "Wait… but I'm not tired!!"

-lights turned off-

"Damn it"


hinata: please review!!!

Neji: -sniff- my poor hair

naruto: RAMEN!!!

gaara: -dreamy sigh- my nose
