I picked up a new manga, Absolute Boyfriend…

I was so sad today. My teacher tend to stress me. Especially my World Studies teacher (unfortunately, she's also my homeroom and Algebra teacher) she took off points on my test just because I forgot to include date. Actually, I wrote the date…I just didn't write the year.

STRESS! Grrr…I lost sleep over this.

My average in Algebra is currently, a 70 D.

Naruto Truth or Dare, Chapter 12

Gaara stared at all the ominous glances at him.

It was his turn at last.

"Truth or dare?" Temari challenged him.

"Dare…" he answered in a sultry tone.

Suddenly, music began to play in a little muffled tone, around the room. Everyone looked around, wondering where this was coming from.

Girls can do anything, be anything they want to be. Girls can do anything, they can survive, they can believe… (Anyone heard this song before?)

Neji suddenly glanced at his pocket and discovered his cell phone was ringing. He squealed and fished it out, and flipped it back.

"Hello?" he answered.

Everyone fell backwards. Neji had a ring tone for girls? And why is his cell phone pink?

"Uh huh…" Neji giggled. "No way…HE DID NOT!"

"Neji?" Tenten whispered.

Neji held up a hand to signal 'be quiet.' He giggled again and continued talking, his voice getting more serious. "Oh…"

Everyone watched as Neji silently hung up.

"My friend just called…" Neji said.

"Probably his boyfriend…" Anko whispered.

"What are you still doing here?" Kurenai scowled.

"Came to watch the show." Anko said,

Kurenai scoffed.

"ANYWAYS…" Neji raised his voice. "She said his fundraiser for the new ninja academy repairs is gonna fail since she's missing one of his clowns."

"So she's doing a circus fundraiser?" Sakura asked.

"Yea, with games, balloons, food, rides and most importantly, CLOWNS!" Neji answered.

Suddenly, Kankurou stood up and punched the air with his fists. "GO CLOWNS!"

Everyone stared at him, as he quietly sat back down.

"This is bad." Neji said. "She needs an extra clown to complete it."

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Naruto's head.

"I got a dare for Gaara…" Naruto said, rubbing his hands evilly. "I dare you to be the substitute clown for Neji's friend's fundraiser!"

Gaara's eyes widened.

"YEA!" everyone cheered. "THAT'S PERFECT!"

Gaara opened his mouth to complain, but everyone was already ushering Gaara out the door, on the way to the fundraiser. But Hinata and Tenten was tagging along in the back.

"Wait…" Tenten said. "Did Neji say his friend was a…girl?"

Hinata nodded, and held her fingers up to her mouth.

"Oh, just wondering…" Tenten said and have a half hearted skip on ahead to catch up to the others.

Hinata watched curiously.

(At the fundraiser/circus)

"Neji!" A girl with blonde hair and a miniskirt shouted.

"Saatchi!" Neji shouted.

They both embraced and laughed.

The others followed close behind and the boys gaped at this hottie model with gorgeous blonde locks. Gaara followed closely.

"This is my friend, Saatchi. She's running the fundraiser." Neji explained to everyone. Saatchi waved cutely and the guys almost lost their heads.

The girls only smiled softly while Tenten was slowly getting jealous in the back.

"Gaara, do your thing." Temari told him.

Saatchi gratefully clapped her hands. "So you're the one who volunteered to help be the clown!" she giggled. "Why, that's so thoughtful!"

"I'm here against my will…" Gaara raised a finger. "Against my will…"

But Saatchi was only half listening as she tossed a clown costume complete with a fake red rubber nose and big red shoes.

"Great…" Gaara grumbled. "I'll look like Ronald McDonald."

But the look in Saatchi's eyes told Gaara that there's no turning back…especially since she's HOTT…oh!

(10 minutes later)

Gaara was standing in front of the circus, dressed in his clown suit. And with his red hair, you'd really think he was some sort of Ronald McDonald.

"Mommy?" a little boy asked his mother as they walked pass. "Why is Ronald McDonald here?"

"He's obviously lost." His mother answered, not even bothering to look.

Gaara growled. But he remained there as Saatchi explained his task. "You're supposed to tell jokes and make balloon animals for the kids for a quarter each."

What beautiful blonde hair she has…Gaara thought in his mind as he half listened to Saatchi explain.

Finally, after all instruction were told, Saatchi left Gaara by himself and the others soon went exploring the circus. All except Temari who was told to film Gaara in his clown suit so they could all watch when they go back to the Hyuuga House.

(Sakura)

Sakura was walking around the place, trying to find where Sasuke went. But she didn't know that Lee and Naruto were following her, (More like stalking) and watching what she did.

"Watch this…" Naruto told Lee and walked up to Sakura.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted.

"Ugh! Naruto!" Sakura sounded annoyed. "What is it?"

"Want me to get one of those stuffed animals in those vending machines for you?" Naruto asked. (EGL: you know in the arcade, there's like this claw that you operate and try to get one of those stuffed animals, but no one can ever win it?)

"Um, are you sure?" Sakura asked. "I have to go find Sasuke-kun anyways…"

"TRUST ME!" Naruto grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her in another direction.

(Somewhere else)

Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji and Shino were sitting on the steps of this packed circus, drinking Dai Javou. (Japanese drink) while watching Saatchi calmly strut around like a goddess and tell everyone what needs to go where.

"Man, you sure scored big with her!" Shikamaru kidded, shoving Neji with his elbow. "Where'd you meet?"

Neji huffed. "We met in grade school, at ninja camp."

"Did you do it yet?" Chouji asked.

"NO!" Neji complained. "AND WE'RE FRIENDS!"

From ahead, they could see Saatchi waved at them and wink at Neji.

"That's not what she thinks." Kiba kidded.

Neji huffed again, while the others talked again about Saatchi.

(Somewhere else)

Tenten was sitting on a chair in one of the bars, gulping Sparkling water, like a seriously depressed alcoholic. (Sparkling water ISN'T alcoholic)

Hinata was sitting next to her, worrying.

"Tenten-san?" she asked.

"THAT SLUT!" Tenten suddenly erupted, dropping her glass. "I COULD SEE ALL THE LOOKS THAT SHE WAS GIVING NEJI!"

"You mean Saatchi-san?" Hinata asked.

"YEA, THAT GIRL!" Tenten gulped down a cup. "Does she think that Neji BELONGS to her or something?"

"Well, no…" Hinata said.

"I MEAN, SHE THINKS SHE'S SO AWESOME BECAUSE OF HER LOOKS!" Tenten went on. "WHAT A DECIEVING WITCH!"

"Well, actually…" Hinata said.

"She's is SO not Neji's type!" Tenten droned on. "NEJI WOULD HATE HER!"

"Yea, but I think…" Hinata tried.

"SHE THINKS SHE'S ALL THAT!" Tenten continued. "I bet Neji thinks she's annoying. He HATES assertive girls like HER!"

Why am I here? Hinata wondered. She's doesn't need my help. She's freaking out just fine by herself.

(Gaara' post)

Temari was filming Gaara try to make a balloon animal. But somehow, the only "animals" that he managed to make, he just called it a "snake", "worm" or "spaghetti" because all he really did was blow it up and tie it.

"…uh thanks, Mr. Clown…" a little boy said, as he was handed a balloon animal. "What is it?"

"It's a stick." Gaara said grimily.

The boy walked away, puzzled.

Temari laughed. She hopped off her seat and walked towards her brother, still filming. "You're bad at this."

"Shut up." Gaara said. A bunch of little girls walked towards him and giggled.

"Hello." Gaara said, forcing an awkward I'm-being-held-here-against-my-will smile. "Welcome to the circus…"

"Hello, Mr. Clown!" two of the girls bubbled.

"Keep moving. Don't want to hold traffic up." Gaara muttered to them. The girls stared behind them. No one was there and tumbleweed flew by.

Temari snickered. "This is gonna be fun."

End of chapter

Do not panic.

There will be more of Gaara's dare in the next two chapters.

I decided to extend it since there was a lot I wanted to type in this setting. The circus, more pairings. You know, Narux.saku, NejixTen, Shika.xIno. etc.

So, I'm extending it, and this story will NOT last only about 19 chapters. CLAP CLAP!

When I created Saatchi, I thought, "I REALLY HATE HER." that's why I made her prettier, so that the story will get more intense as the NejixTen pairing heats up. GET READY, NEJIXTEN FANS!

Pairings for the jonin: Kakashix.Anko, Kurenaix.Asuma, Gaix.shizune (although she's not in the story…so I'm not writing about that)
