Aah yes, school is back in. Whoop de doo. Aren't you excited? *rolls eyes* Oh, yeah, I'm celebrating!

Just a thought, the Urban Dictionary has funny stuff on it.

TenTen, Neji, Ino, and Shikamaru shot out from their hiding place in the forest and launched a frontal assault on the guards. Having the element of surprise, they managed to take out quite a few of the creatures before they registered what was happening and retaliated. As reinforcements streamed out of the lab, the remaining four ninjas snuck through the door which was carelessly left open.

Once inside, Sasuke and Sakura split off from Hinata and Naruto at the first split in the hallway, one going to the left, and one to the right.

"The minute you find something, let us know," Sakura whispered into the radio.

"Yeah, no one is playing hero today," Sasuke agreed.

"Yeah, yeah," Naruto sighed, knowing that those comments were meant for him.

Hinata elbowed Naruto in the ribs, hard. "Don't worry guys; I'll keep him in line."

"Thanks Hinata."

The path that Sasuke and Sakura chose, the left side, was pretty boring. They found a janitor's closet, the restrooms (which Sasuke decided to go use), and a couple of standard bedrooms. Not a whole lot to see.

Naruto and Hinata, on the other hand, got to see a little more excitement. They really had to work on their ninja 'sneaking around' skills. Around every turn, there was a scientist or a group of mutants or something else that could be potentially disastrous to their mission and wellbeing in general.

"Don't these people know that they're not supposed to be here while we're sneaking around?!" Naruto whispered exasperated.

"I think someone forgot to send the memo," Hinata replied.

Outside, the kids are wishing to be the ones inside. From sparring class, I happen to know what its like to fight a seemingly never ending battle.

"Argh!" TenTen screamed in complaint, wiping the sweat from her eyes, "Will these people, things, whatever they are, ever quit?!"

"Not anytime soon they're not," Neji replied tightening the bandage on his arm before launching himself at the nearest enemy.

Ino coughed violently. "Guys, how much longer do we have to do this?" she asked her voice hoarse as she winced in pain.

"I dunno," Shikamaru replied grimly, "They better hurry up in there before we need rescuing too!"

---

"Uh, guys," Hinata whispered through the radio, "you there?"

"Yeah we're here," Sakura replied, "It's pretty boring here. What's up?"

"Uh, I think we found the lab," Naruto whispered.

"What about the prison, or wherever they keep the prisoners," Sakura asked.

"And how do you know it's the lab?" Sasuke continued.

"Uh, just come and you'll see. The prisoners may be inside, but we're not going in there until you come," Hinata said.

"And you may wanna hurry so that we can relieve the folks outside," Naruto added.

Sakura and Sasuke came as quickly and silently as they possibly could, dodging the many mutants that their teammates had to avoid to get there to begin with.

When they arrived, they fell into line behind Hinata and Naruto, who then began to slink into the room which was, strangely, empty.

"Where are the," Hinata made little quote marks in the air with her fingers, "scientists. They're strangely MIA.* Not that I'm complaining of course."

Sasuke had drifted over to one of the computers and his fingers were now flying over the keys. "Hey, I think I found where the prisoners are kept!"

"Really?!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly.

"No, I found the plumber's cell," Sasuke said rolling his eyes at her, "Of course! That's what I said!"

Ignoring the jibes, Sakura looked over Sasuke's shoulder. "It's not far from here. Let's find whatever information that's needed and go rescue our friends; both the ones in jail and the ones buying us time."

*MIA=Missing in Action. Just for those of you who didn't know. I figured I'd stick it in as a precaution.

So, yea, please review. Only my friend has been reviewing as an anonymous reviewer. Those of you who actually have accounts should be ashamed *shame, shame* =)
