TEAM NINJA, TOTAL FIFTEEN

CH 3

SCAVENGER HUNT.

Group Mars: Naruto, Rock Lee, and Kiba. Group Saturn: Sasuke, Gaara, and Ten-ten. Group Neptune: Temari, Shikamaru, and Shino. Group Pluto Kankurou, Sakura, and Chouji. Group Venus: Neji, Hinata, and Ino. The five each started off in a different part of the ship. Each were given a list of items to retrieve along the way. The objective was to look for all the items on the list and bring them all back to the mess hall within the time period that was given to them. Each group had exactly until dinner which was at nine o'clock. They were sent out to do the scavenger hunt at three which gave them six hours to complete the task at hand.

Group Mars was already beginning at a rocky state. Rock Lee and Naruto were constantly arguing on which direction to take. Kiba and Akamaru could only watch. Breaking up a argument between them two wasn't worth the time, at least not yet. If they kept at it Kiba would soon have to step in. Kiba leaned over the railing on which they stood on. They didn't know where they were but they knew they had to retrieve the "broken beer bottle" which was onthe list. If Kiba knew better he would say they were at the very bottom of the ship, close to the boiling room where the "small Christmas tree" stood.

The pipes were horrible where he stood and the shouting that Naruto and Lee made gave him a chill up his spine. Their voices would echo in the dark of the lower part. It scared him to imagine himself down here by himself.

"That would suck." He whispered to Akamaru who barked. Soon out the corner of Kiba's eye he saw something glisten. There wasn't much light so whatever was glistening sure had to be shiny.

He slowly walked towards the item being careful. Iruka had mention to them that the floors were old down below and one could easily slip and fall. There was no doubt that Kiba didn'twanted that to happen so he held onto the railing hard. When he came to the glistening item he had to pull back some plywood that was in the way. The shiny item was the broken beer bottle. Who would have thought it would have been clean and shiny down where they were. Kiba held it up in the air as if he was the champion. Akamaru barked happily along with him.

"Found it! Ha!" He yelled. He saw Lee look at his watch.

"It took an hour and twenty-three minutes but hey, at least we found it." Lee glared at Naruto. "However, if we didn't have such a distraction I'm sure we would have found it earlier."

With that remark Naruto was quick to send him a smart terse that would begin another argument. Kiba rolled his eyes as Akamaru moaned.

"Shh, I know. It does get old after a while." Kiba figured that he would begin searching for the small Christmas tree in the boiling room. Naruto and Lee would just follow.

Group Saturn sat calmly up against the wall. The three of them were quick to finish the mission. The five items that they were suppose to find were sitting in front of them. Sasuke, Gaara, and Ten-ten set quiet. They still had five more hours to get to the mess hall. The chances were they would be the first back. But then again what do you expect with members such as Gaara and Sasuke. They spent their time sitting there talking quietly. Gaara had told Ten-ten that Temari secretly wanted to fuck Shikamaru and also that Shikamaru knew.

"Be careful." The red head said. Ten-ten nodded taking note that she should be careful though there was a part of her that hoped he was wrong about his older sis.

Sasuke interrupted Gaara and Ten-ten's conversation by saying Gaara should be careful and watch his back. Gaara smirked at Sasuke.

"Or what? And what for?"

"I know you like Naruto. That's messed up for you to leave Rock Lee hanging like that." Sasuke said. His voice was calm and soft but his words were still sincere.

"Messed up, hmm, kind of like you dissed Naruto to room with yourself." Stung! Gaara got Sasuke right where he wanted him. Sasuke shook his head. "And let's not forget that you still had sex with Sakura, the slut out of the slut pack with Ino. Does Naruto know about that?"

"He doesn't need to know." Sasuke stood up. His fist were in a ball pinned to the line of his pants. His dark browns furrowed at Gaara who also stood with his arms crossed. "You won't tell him."

Ten-ten watch as the two boys talked furiously with one another. She shrugged off the fact that Sakura had sex with Sasuke, she been knew that. In fact everyone did, well except for Ino and Naruto. They would be the last to know. Ten-ten stood up just as Gaara quietly told Sasuke something that made the brunette nod.

"Shall we go? We have all the items, let's get back to the mess hall." Ten-ten suggested. She began to pick up the five items that were on their list and began walking up the stairs that led to a hall towards the mess hall. Gaara told Sasuke that the only way he won't mention to Naruto that he had sex with Sakura is if Sasuke is willing to take Gaara's virginity away. Though Sasuke doesn't know it, but that way Gaara would be experience when he decides to fuck Lee and Naruto.

Sakura clenched the list in her hand. Group Pluto was getting no where fast. For one no one seemed to care about the mission. Chouji was too busy eating while Kankurou was too busy being lazy. If it's even possible to be busy by being lazy. Sakura knew that they weren't going to find any of the items, for one they had two more hours left. Four hours went by and they haven't found one item on the damn list. Sakura balled it and threw it to the side.

"Shall we go to the mess hall now?" She asked.

Hinata stepped on a loose floor board that cause her to go through it. However, Neji quickly took hold of her hand.

"I got you!"

It didn't take long for them to pull Hinata up to the main floor. Group Venus was on the steps of the old cafeteria. They found all the items on the list and they were just trying to find their way back to the mess hall before time was up. But it would prove to be hard since neither of them knew where they were going. Nevertheless, Neji insisted that they complete the mention. He steadily mention that Sasuke and Naruto's group were already done. Ino rolled her eyes.

"Who cares if their done already, the point is to focus on us." The blonde indicated. "And we won't be able to make it if we can't even make it back to the mess hall in time!"

Hinata nodded her head in agreement at Neji. Sighing, they helped Hinata up and continued their way through the middle part of the ship.

Group Neptune were on the flight deck pulling the model airplane onto the landing. The model airplane was on their list of items to get. And they were lucky since the mess hall wasn't far from the flight deck. The model airplane was also the last item to get from the list. Group Neptune was the quiet group. Now and then they exchange words but most of the time they kept quiet. But that doesn't mean that Shikamaru and Temari didn't past sexual signs towards one another. Shino payed no attention to when they touched one another in sexual ways, he would only tip his glasses on his nose.

"Don't you have a girlfriend, Temari?" Shino knew it wasn't any of his business to wonder wether or not Temari had a girlfriend. Temari gave him a haunted look of disinterest to answer that question. "That's not good for you to be two-timing Ten-ten."

"I'm just playing." Shino wasn't dumb. He stopped walking and looked at Temari for a couple of minutes. A sweat drop came across the back of Temari's head. She gave the bug-boy a chessy smile.

"It's not a big deal," Shikamaru said in his bored tone he always used, "it's not like we're doing anything wrong. You haven't seen me or her kiss have you, Shino?" Shino didn't answer. "Exactly, so let's get going before we're late."

The three of them went through the exit of the flight deck walking down the broken escalator that was said to be used for pilots upon going to war. The story was when the pilots ran the stairs and entered the flight deck and flew their planes, they would come back sick because of the sweat that lingered on their bodies. On the walls were fun facts about the ship. Shino read some of them on the way down to the main floor.

As they walked towards the mess hall they could see the other groups entering.

"Hmm, what a waste, we still came out to be dead last." Shikamaru complained.

"Don't worry, I'll make it worth your while later." Temari added. Shikamaru lifted a eyebrow of curiosity.

Well, Shikamaru was right, they were the last but it was group Venus who didn't even bother to search for any items. Temari laughed at Kankurou as he sat there bewildered. Ino rested her elbow on the table thinking about Sakura...Sakura-whoa! That can't be right. No, it's right. Ino came to the conclusion that she's been having a crush on Sakura since Sasuke left. But she never told the pink haired girl, instead Ino covered it up by going after anything Sakura went after. She sighed laying her head upon the table.

"Well," Iruka started, "it seems to me that all the groups completed the mission except for one." He looks coldly at group Venus. "That mission was to see how you all would act to new group members and well you all did pretty well. So, I'm not going to ruin the night by talking too much. Dinner will be ready soon."

He was right, dinner was ready soon and the fifteen ninjas ate quietly. They each were in their own state of mind. Ten-ten only thought of what Gaara had told her about Temari. She was starting to believe that he was right because every time she glanced up at Temari, she was looking at Shikamaru. Sasuke thought about the fact that he was suppose to fuck Gaara just to hide the fact that he fucked Sakura so as not to hurt Naruto. Rock Lee didn't talk not once to Gaara, he truly didn't know what was going on but he had a feeling it would hurt him if he did find out. Naruto tried to talk to Sasuke but Sasuke wouldn't reply back. It went on like that for the rest of the evening till it was time to go to bed.
