Welcome To Camp Nightmare

Chapter 5

"Ino's still not back." Sakura sighed. Her, TenTen, Temari, Hinata, and Emiko had joined the boys for breakfast.

"Yeah, neither is Chouji. I think we need to talk to Josh about it." Shikamaru surveyed the mess hall.

"Don't worry, we are one step ahead of you." Emiko promised.

"I wonder if they even noticed?" Lee wondered out loud.

"Come to think of it, nobody but us even seems to care." Sakura looked at Sasuke.

"What do you think is going on here?"

"Hn." Sasuke shrugged. Sakura was tempted to flick Sasuke in the head for that, but many fangirls were nearby. She didn't want to die a horrible and painful death.

"Hey, there he is! I'm go talk to him right now." Sakura stood up and marched over to Josh. He saw her coming, at least Sakura thought he did, and walked away.

"Hey, Josh! Josh!" Sakura tried to follow him but he disappeared into the kitchen, which was off limits to the campers.

"D-Did he just ignore y-you?" Hinata glared at the kitchen door.

"T-That wasn't nice!"

"I know! How are we going to ask Josh if we can have ramen for all meals if he won't even talk to us?" Naruto looked at everyone.

"What? Why ya staring at me?"

"Idiot. We were talking about Ino and Chouji." Sasuke uttered.

'Why are all my friends such idiots?' Sasuke complained to himself.

"Well, if you guys see Josh, make sure you ask him about Ino and Chouji." Emiko reminded the guys as they all headed off to their activities.

Josh seemed to be ignoring everyone that day. Every time Sasuke, Sakura, Emiko, Lee, Temari, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, TenTen, or Neji tried to talk to Josh he ran off or made an excuse. Lee had considered asking one of Sasuke's fangirls for tips on stalking but Sasuke stomped out that idea at once.

"We are not going to stalk Josh! I would owe a fangirl if we asked, and I don't want to owe a fan anything! Got that?" Sasuke hissed at Lee.

"O.k. it was just an idea…" Lee passed on the no stalking rule to everyone else. Apparently Lee had talked with the group about it and they liked the idea, but Sasuke was right. Who knew what horrible things the fangirls would make Sasuke do if he owed them. It came upon lunchtime and still no luck.

"It's like they don't even care!" Temari pronounced angrily.

"Well, at least we know one thing." Sasuke spoke slowly, trying to increase the suspense.

"If they really are ok then they'll be at the dance. I doubt they'd miss it. Ino would want to show off her date and Chouji wouldn't miss a free meal even if his life depended on it." Sasuke's eyes fluttered to the staff table. He seemed to be in deep thought.

'Something doesn't seem right… I'd better watch out…'

After lunch Sakura, Temari, and Hinata waited by the docks. It was time for their least favorite class, fishing. The counselors made you pick up the worms and put them on the hook and you got in trouble for wasting the worms. Then if you caught a fish they made you clean it and gut it. If you didn't even try then they shoved you in the lake. Luckily the 3 girls got to be in the same boat.

"This sucks. We're going to have to get a shower before the dance and everything!" Temari complained.

"M-Maybe Shikamaru likes the smell of fish?" Hinata suggested shyly. Sakura couldn't help but giggle.

"When you go out on a date he can take you to fish town!" Temari and Hinata stared.

"What the heck is fish town?" They asked.

"You know, the underwater town, home to all the species of fish ever known to man/woman kind. Don't tell me you've never heard of it!" Sakura finished, giving a mock gasp.

"Sure, we know of it. We were told that the buildings were made of seaweed and everything!" The girls laughed so hard that they knocked over all the bait. They watched a school of fish suddenly swim over and eat all of the bait.

"Girls! Did you knock over all your bait?" A large, beefy man walked over. His face was red with anger. He had long reddish orange hair pulled up in a ponytail. Sakura, Temari, and Hinata noticed they were shaking and held on to each other.

"Now you shall feel the watery wrath of Mr. Doodles!" The counselor whispered dramatically. The girls knew better then to laugh.

"Hn. Pick on somebody who has a name as dumb as yours." Sasuke suddenly appeared behind Mr. Doodles ((A/N: I don't know how I thought of that name.…)) and tapped his shoulder. Mr. Doodles fell off the boat yelling

"Ahh! I'm afraid of water!" and most of the campers snickered. Before Sakura could thank Sasuke he said,

"You can thank me later." And he jumped off the boat and landed on his. Unfortunately, he was stuck with some fangirls who immediately yelled

"OMG Sasuke-kun!" and glomped him. ((A/N: Glomping is when you jump on somebody, giving them a dramatic hug.))

Sakura, who was used to this by now, tried to ignore the jealousy she felt.

"Wow Sakura. Having a really popular boyfriend can really pay off." TenTen teased.

"Hn." Sakura shrugged, doing her best to imitate Sasuke. He noticed Sakura copying him.

'Do I really look like that? No, I do it much better.' A small, cocky smirk slid on Sasuke's face.

"Hey look! Sasuke is smiling at me!"

"No way, it's me he's smiling at!" And, you guessed it, more glomping.

"Get off me!" Sasuke yelled. A bell rang in the distance.

"Looks like fishing is over, thank god." Temari and Hinata let out a sigh of relief. It was kinda scary, since they said it at the exact same time. When the girls arrived at the dock Sasuke was still being hugged by his fangirls.

"Oh shut up." Sasuke hissed at Hinata, Temari, and Sakura. They were giggling. The girls ran to their cabin and each got a shower. It wasn't until TenTen and Emiko showed up that the fun really began. Sure, they were worried about Ino, but the dance was captivating their minds. So each girl pulled on her dress and they helped each other do hair and makeup. Sakura pulled her hair up in a bun, Temari pulled out all of her ponytails and let her hair down, Emiko French braided her hair, TenTen put hers in a ponytail, and Hinata left hers the same. After they were sure they looked great, the girls made their way to the mess hall. That was were the dance was being held, and that was also where they were going to meet their dates.

"I wonder what's keeping them." Sasuke let out an impatient sigh.

"Sasuke, girls take forever getting ready for dates." Shikamaru repeated for the umpteenth time.

"I guess you wouldn't know, seeing as you turned down every other date you've ever been asked to go on." Neji added. Naruto sniggered.

"Hey, here they come." Lee nudged the others until he had their attention. All of them stopped talking; their mouths wide open. The group of girls walked up in front of her date.

"What, you hoping we'd kiss you if you left your mouth open?" Temari asked in an innocent voice.

"N-No." Most of them stuttered. Sasuke replied with his usual

"Hn." Taking his date by the hand the guys led the girls into the mess hall. The group split up, some going to dance and others getting some punch. Sasuke and Sakura were dancing. It was almost like Sakura's daydream came true. They were dancing to a slow song, and Sakura was nervous. They were so close to each other. Sasuke felt her tensing up.

"Relax, I'm not going to hit you or anything. Or do you think I'm lying?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"N-No! Of course not Sasuke." Sakura smiled and tried to relax. The song was nearly over. Sasuke looked into those green orbs and said softly

"I hope you're having fun." Sakura nodded and felt herself blush. They were leaning closer; their lips centimeters apart.

"What, can't you answer me?" Sasuke asked, mocking the hurt in his voice.

"I'm sorry Sasuke-kun. I think I do owe you a thank you though. Would you like it now?" Sakura added the 'Kun' just to help set the mood. If Sakura felt nervous it was nothing compared to how Sasuke felt. Sure, he had been kissed by a girl. And hugged. And stalked. But this was the first time he felt anything back. And his stomach hurt from so many nerves. Just before their big moment, a loud bang pierced the peaceful evening and dark gray smoke filled the air. (A/N: I guess that would be black, but I'll just call it dark gray.)

"Sakura, here!" Sasuke reached into his pocket and pulled out a few pieces of cloth. Sakura covered her mouth and Sasuke did the same for his. With his free hand he grabbed Sakura and pulled her towards the exit. Everyone was screaming and running around blindly. They were blocking the exits.

"Oh my gosh, were is Ami?" Two familiar voices rang out. Sakura and Sasuke ran into Chika and Tami. The two looked odd without Ami by their side.

"What happened?" Sasuke demanded. Chika was to upset to take notice of the fact Sasuke was talking to her.

"She was right here, and then the smoke came and now she's gone!" Tami was sobbing.

"My sister, where is my sister?" Sasuke turned to the nearby window.

"Don't breath in anymore of this smoke, got it?" Without waiting for an answer Sasuke grabbed a chair and smashed the window. A light breeze blew across Sakura's face. She was surprised to see it was dark so dark out.

Sasuke grabbed her arm and pulled her through the broken window, careful not to let her cut herself. Many more campers where already trying to do the same.

"Sasuke, what about the others?" Sakura cried through her cloth.

"Later, I'll explain later!" Sasuke took off, dragging a terrified Sakura with him. They ran until they reached Sasuke's cabin. Nobody else was there. Sasuke told Sakura to sit down and locked the door. He pulled the blinds down over the window and made sure the lights were off. Pulling out a flashlight he sat down next to Sakura. He looked at her very seriously.

"S-S-Sasuke…?" Sakura noticed that her voice shook.

"Let me explain." Sasuke took a deep breath.

A/N: Well, what do you think? I didn't expect the chapter to be this long, but I guess you guys aren't complaining I hope you all are enjoying this story!
