-1Yayz! Today waz a snow day, so I decided to go update crazy, and stuff. Therez an extra long chapter today! I have to thank the peoplez who reviewed, that really made my day. And, right now I am screwed because a) my friend wants me to write her an ItaxRin(the crackiest pairing ever) or an ItaxKure(which is just depressive to me) and b) I forgot that I suck at writing romance… I know. I really am screwed. So anybody that has any words of comfort, or advice, PLEASE help me out. Well, on with the craptastic crap.

Mission Time!

Everybody was gathered at Konoha Gate. Everybody that is, except Naruto. Ino sighed. "Gawd. Naruto's half an hour late."

Neji smirked. "Hmph. And here I was thinking you'd be the last one here."

Hinata's not sure which side to choose. "Uh, Neji, you don't need to be so mean to her…"

"It's okay Hinata, stuck-up bastards will always be stuck-up bastards."

Neji glared at Ino coldly. "Well, now look who's being mean."

"Argh! You can never win with this kid!"

Naruto ran up to them with a guilty look on his face. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, but my microwave burned when I tried to make instant ramen, and the fire took a really long time to put out!

Ino shook her head. "How come every place Naruto eats ramen sets on fire?"

"Save yourself some mentality, Ino, and don't ask."

"Gee, thanks, Neji."(sarcasm)

Hinata looked sympathetically at Naruto. "Wow Naruto, that must be terrible…"

Naruto grinned. "Yeah, well, I was still hungry, so I had to eat black ramen."

Ino made a gagging noise, and Neji raised an eyebrow. "Are we going to stand here talking about Naruto's ramen problems, or are we going to leave already?"

Naruto glared at Neji. "Fine, fine, don't get your shorts in a knot."

"Oh, I suppose that was supposed to be insulting, huh? I'm choosing to ignore that, Naruto."

-Around 8:30 P.M.-

So, after a day of traveling, (and more of Neji and Ino's bickering), they decided to rest by a river in the woods, which was about 1/3 of the way they had to travel.

"Okay, I think this is a good place as any to stop."

"Brightest idea you've had all day, Ino."

"Okay, Neji, seriously, what the frick is your problem?!?!"

Naruto started to bang his head against a tree trunk. "Geez! Will you two shut up already?! I think I've lost more brain cells today, than I have my whole life!"

Hinata walked toward Naruto. "Naruto, don't do that…"

Ino sighed. " Well, I could probably fix your brain cell rate if you wanted me to…"

"Thanks, but no thanks, I think I would scare people I started acting like a civilized person."

Neji rolled his eyes. "Well, that's for sure. So, what's our camp plan, guys? I can't do this genius stuff all on my own here."

Ino looked very peeved. "Hey, I have a great idea for the sleeping arrangements. Since there are two tents, it only makes sense that Hinata and I share, Naruto gets the second tent, and we'll stick this kid outside!"

"Hmph, VERY funny, Ino."

Hinata started doing that weird thing with her fingers. "Um… why don't Neji and Naruto share?"

Naruto looked depressed. "Aaw! And I thought that for once in my life, I would get my own tent!"

Neji looked at Naruto with disdain. "If you eat any more beans, you're going to need your own tent. Because if you fart during the night, then I won't hesitate to kick you out."

Naruto scowled. "Darn it!"

"Hey, Princess Neji, have you ever tried sleeping in the same tent as Asuma-sensei? Yeah, well, let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if I got second-hand lung cancer."

"Your point…?"

'I'm giving up on you, Neji Hyuga."

"What, so no more feeble attempts at seducing me? Aw, I was having fun mocking your frivolousness."

"THAT'S IT!"

"Hey, you two, you know you guys realize that you sound like some ridiculous middle-aged couple, right?"

Ino and Neji both turned Orochimaru pale. "Hinata," Ino started, "Never. Say. That. Again. I think I'll make some coffee."

Naruto laughed. " At 8:45 at night?!"

"Yes," Ino replied stiffly, "I'm taking the first lookout shift, just to get away from HIM."

She pointed accusingly at Neji. "…"

-AWKWARD SILENCE-

Naruto started getting antsy. "Well, because of this awkward silence, I'm going to ask a completely stupid and random question! Do any of you guys have any special talents?

Ino looked up. "Hm, well, I can shake my eyeballs."

Naruto perked up. "Really?!?!?! That's cool!"

Ino nods. "Yeah, see…" (shakes eyeballs)

Hinata had an amazed look on her face. "Woah…"

Neji looked half amused and half irritated. "THAT was completely uncalled for."

Ino pouted. "Yeah, well, nobody cares about your opinion. Hinata, what about you?"

Hinata didn't know how to respond. "Um… well… I can lick my elbow…"

Naruto's jaw dropped. "Lucky! I've always wanted to do that! Show us!"

Hinata licked her elbow as Naruto's eyes bugged out of his sockets "Wow, you're amazing, Hinata!

Hinata blushed. "Gee, thanks…"

"All right! Now I'll show you guys my special talent."

Neji smirked. "Well, this will be retarded…"

" I have a creaky shoulder, and I can creak it to the tune of Baa Baa Black Sheep!"

(creaks shoulder)

"Okay, Neji, now whose talent do you think was more uncalled for?"

" Yours is, Ino, because I would expect something that stupid from Naruto, but yours just made no sense."

" Ugh, why do I bother?"

Naruto looked at Neji. "So, while you sit here laughing at our awesome talents, why don't you show us yours?"

"Pardon?"

"Come on, a genius like you has to have SOMETHING!"

"If I did, why would I show you losers!"

Ino rolled her eyes. "Just suck it up, and show us already!"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeze!"

"Naruto, if you shut up, then fine. I can… wiggle my ears." (wiggles ears)

Ino cracked up. "Hey, can you wiggle your nose too?"

Neji sighed. "No."

"Liar." Hinata coughed.

Neji glares at Hinata. "Fine" (wiggles nose)

" Wow. That was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw a stiff bastard like Neji do in my whole life."

"Well, Naruto, you do more ridiculous things everyday. Besides, I don't appreciate it when you call me a stiff bastard."

Ino walks over and puts an arm around Neji's shoulders. "Aaw, we're SOO sorry. I'll have Naruto write you an apology letter and attach a lollipop just for you, okay?"

Hinata and Naruto start laughing. "I didn't appreciate that comment, either. Besides, I hate lollipops."

Ino sighed. "Well, there's no pleasing you, is there? Okay, how about we call a truce, as long as you act a little nicer? I really don't want to know what happens when all of Naruto's brain cells die because of our fighting."

Neji looked a little uncomfortable about someone putting an arm around him, because whenever Lee did that, he usually just beat the crap out of him. "Uh, sure?"

Ino grinned. "Okayz! Well, I'm off on patrol!" Ino jumped up from where she was sitting by Neji, grabbed a few senbon, and jumped up into the trees, to start her shift.

Neji shook his head. "And how does she remain so hyper at 9:15 at night?"

Naruto shrugged. " I don't know, maybe it's the coffee."
