Hanabi was with Moegi at ballet, which took skill, poise, and discipline according to Hanabi. It was one of her favorite activities to do, and it was relaxing. Hinata used to do this with Hanabi but as she grew up she learned to appreciate other things that she thought were important, like basketball. Hanabi always laughed at the idea of basketball being better then ballet, it was inconceivable. As Hanabi and Moegi were stretching out Moegi asked Hanabi what she planned on doing with the rest of her summer.
"Well I guess more dancing and maybe some studying for school next year." Hanabi said putting some real thought into it. Moegi only laughed at her friend.
"You know Konohamaru was right, you try to work so hard, like you're trying to surpass someone but there's no one better then you."
"You think there is no one better then me?" Hanabi asked as she pulled her leg above her head.
"No I said Konohamaru said that. Weren't you listening?"
"No I was. So you think there's someone better then me?"
"Well I have a theory that no matter how good you are at something there is someone bigger, stronger, faster, then you. Not you but like everyone."
"I guess that's true." Hanabi said sitting on the floor to stretch her legs out further. Moegi did the same. "So….Konohamaru says that there's no one better then me?" Hanabi asked getting quiet so no one else could hear her.
"Yeah that's what he said." Moegi said to her blushing friend. "Do you know how obvious it is that you both have a crush on each other? Me and Udon both find it amusing." Moegi began to giggle and stretch her arms out.
"I do not!" Hanabi defended.
"Yeah right," Moegi smirked "I bet even now he's thinking of you as he's doing God knows what at camp."
"Camp?" Hanabi asked as Moegi regretted saying what she said
"I MEAN…..You know…where ever he is." Moegi began to sweat bullets.
"Moegi…..you're lieing." Hanabi stood up and faced her nervous friend "So...what is Konohamaru doing this summer?"
"Well….it's like this." Moegi began to say giving into Hanabi's evil stare. "Konohamaru goes to camp every summer but doesn't want you to know since you said that people who go to sports camps were lame and should just get a summer job instead….remember?"
Hanabi did recall saying something like that. She started to wish she never did. She didn't want Konohamaru lieing to her because he thought he couldn't tell her things. She thought their friendship was better then that.
"Boy troubles?" Moegi asked smiling as she began to head for the dance floor.
"Yeah, maybe I'll call my sister about it. She'll know what I should do." Hanabi said as she went over to Moegi on the floor
BREAK
Tenten and Neji were winning the game, which made Naruto very frustrated. Tenten was on a killing spree and Neji was protecting her back. They had that strategy from the beginning; they didn't even need to verbally tell each other they just knew.
Naruto and Hinata's team wasn't doing very badly, but they did have a weak link and that was Naruto. He was a very good aimer and would shoot towards the ceiling before actually hitting anyone. He did get one kill; of course it was Hinata who he killed.
The game was almost over and Tenten and Neji couldn't find Naruto or Hinata even though their radar said that they were supposed to be right in front of them. Neji and Tenten both looked at each other like something was up, but they refused to take a peek at Hinata's and Naruto's screens. In the last thirty seconds of the game Tenten saw Naruto's character run in front of her. She went after it but when her character turned the corner she was shot and then died. Neji's character was right behind Tenten's and he turned to see Hinata's character standing there. Before he could kill her Naruto's character shot Neji in the back which killed him.
"Shit, I forgot about Naruto!" Neji said
"I knew that plan would work!" Naruto said jumping up and down.
"So what, we still won the game look." Neji said pointing at the screen.
"That's because Tenten gave you a kiss for luck. If Hinata kissed me then we would have won or tied!" Hinata, along with Neji and Tenten, blushed while both Neji and Tenten smiled at each other.
"So now do we get to play winner?" asked Shikamaru
"Fine, but this is the last game." Said Neji "We don't want them to get into any trouble."
"Not to mention us!" Naruto added
"Great," said Ino "Lets' beat them!"
"I'm not going to loose to you Ino." Tenten said
"Just keep telling yourself that!" Ino said sticking her tongue out "I have Shikamaru on my team so I can't loose!"
"But you forgot," Tenten began "he has you on his team." Neji burst out laughing along with Sakura from the couch.
"Oh YEAH? Let's show them Shikamaru!" Ino cried out as she sat herself down next to Shikamaru.
"Yeah beat them Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled as he sat on the couch next to Sasuke. Hinata took a seat next to Naruto on the other side and Sakura was already curled up with Sasuke.
Their game started with Tenten shooting Ino and Ino killing Shikamaru trying to kill Tenten. Neji continued to guard Tenten's back as she got all of the kills. The game was in Tenten in Neji's favor and then Shikamaru began to see their strategy. He whispered something into Ino's ear and Neji knew that now they had a full proof plan. Shikamaru's character got the attention of Tenten and she began to chase it then noticed Ino's character jump down behind her. Ino shot Neji and killed him, Tenten tried to shoot Ino but Shikamaru punched Tenten's character so her shot missed. Ino ran away and when she was good and gone Shikamaru killed Tenten's character.
"Woe what was that about?" Tenten asked
"When somebody dies in this game they appear in a location. Ino killed Neji and so he appeared somewhere and then I assumed that he would try to run to where you were so he could continue to protect your back. So when he was out of his location spot I killed you so that you were both still far apart."
"That was smart Shikamaru." Neji said "But while you were telling Tenten that I just killed Ino."
"And I'm about to kill you." Tenten said as she shot Shikamaru.
"You're smart Shikamaru but you can't multi task. You tried to explain to us your plan and you weren't focusing on the screen." Neji said with a smirk.
"One of my flaws that is improving." Shikamaru said
Sasuke had his arm around Sakura and she was laying on him while they were holding hands. Naruto envied that, he wished that he could just hold Hinata the way Sasuke was holding Sakura. Hinata sat at the very end of the couch and was at least an arm apart from Naruto. It looked like she was trying to keep her distance from him but in reality she was just comfortable the way she was. Naruto wanted to put his arm around her so bad and he knew one move that would work. The old I'm just stretching my arms up above my head and then gracefully putting them around your shoulder. He decided that since it was the end of the game he would just save his move for another time.
"HA HA! We WON, we kicked your ASSES!" Tenten yelled as she jumped up and down.
"Sorry Shikamaru." Ino said sweat dropping
"Whatever, it's just a game." He said yawning
"So I guess we should leave now." Hinata said standing up
"But you all just got here!" Naruto said his eyes pleading for her to stay.
"No I don't think they should stay." Neji said "I really don't want to risk them getting into trouble." He said looking directly at Tenten who blushed.
"So you guys came here in the dark?" Sasuke asked
"Well it wasn't so dark outside so we could see where we were." Sakura told him
"Why don't you take a flash light this time." Shikamaru said
"Yeah you can borrow mine." Naruto offered
"No they'll take mine." Neji said "Or else that would be your excuse to go see Hinata; that you needed to get your flashlight back."
"Uhh ha ha ha!" Naruto laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Thanks Neji." Hinata said as he went upstairs to his room to get them a flashlight. When he returned all of the girls were standing by the door.
"So…when are we going to see you guys again?" Tenten asked
"I guess at the competitions." Neji said handing her the flashlight
"We're all doing the basketball part." Ino said
"Us too!" Naruto yelled
"Sakura what else are you doing?" Sasuke asked
"Just volleyball." She said smiling "How about you?"
"Soccer with these guys." He said pointing his thumb at his friends.
"It doesn't look like anyone is outside right now so hurry up and get around the cabin." Said Shikamaru
Ino opened up the door and quietly stepped out side along with the other girls. All of the guys were holding their breathes as they watched the girls through the windows. Ino had tripped on something which had Shikamaru practically jumping out of his skin to help her but she got right back up.
"Calm down Shikamaru." Said Sasuke "Okay, now their out of sight so no more freaking out."
"Good thing they didn't get caught." Said Naruto as he walked over to sit on the couch where Hinata sat.
'Still warm.' He thought
"Neji are you going to sleep?" asked Sasuke who was watching Neji walk up the stairs.
"Yeah I have to work in the cafeteria tomorrow, remember?" he said looking over at Naruto.
"Oh yeah, is that tomorrow?" Naruto asked standing up
"It's for the rest of the week. Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner at the mess hall we need clean the dishes."
"AAAAAAW MAN!" Naruto yelled "And we have to do it with dog boy too!"
"I'm just happy we don't have to clean anymore." Sasuke said making his way upstairs.
"Yeah, that was a drag." Shikamaru said going upstairs after Sasuke. Naruto was also making his way up the stairs.
"But now we don't get to see Hinata anymore." He mumbled to himself.
"What was that?" Sasuke asked form the top of the stairs.
"Oh nothing!" Naruto said scratching the back of his head.
BREAK
The girls finally made it to their cabin and they ran inside to warm up since it was pretty cold outside. They all got into their pajamas and went into Ino's room to talk for a bit.
"Sakura it was so cute the way Sasuke was holding you." Tenten said in awe.
"I know, I just feel so safe in his arms." Sakura said hugging herself
"You guys," Ino said sadly "What are we going to do when the summer is over?"
All the girls were starting to get sad at the thought of never seeing the guys again. It was almost impossible for them, except for Hinata who could get her driver to take her there, and she always saw her cousin.
"Ino way to make us all sad!" Tenten said with a sigh as she fell backwards onto Ino's bed.
"Actually Tenten you live pretty close to Neji, did you know that?" Hinata asked
"I DO!" Tenten yelled sitting back up.
"Yeah, except Neji goes to an all boy school where as you got to an all girl school. I'd say you might live about…..and hour away from him, maybe even less like 45 minutes!"
"NO WAY!" Tenten yelled
"Yeah he lives near Sasuke and Shikamaru I guess." Hinata said scratching her chin.
"WWHHHHAAAAAAT?" yelled Ino and Sakura
"Yeah, they all go to the same school." Hinata said
"Tenten you are SOOO LUCKY!" yelled Sakura
"I would kill to live where you live." Ino said falling backwards onto her bed.
"So Hinata does that mean you've been to Tenten's house?" asked Sakura
"Oh yeah, it's a funny story. We were heading to visit Neji and on our drive we passed Tenten jogging so we pulled over and I practically tackled her to the ground!"
"I thought I was being mugged at first but then I heard her yelling 'Tenten Tenten Tenten!' and I recognized her voice. You know come to think about it, that day you never told me you were going to see Neji!"
"I said I was going to see my cousin." Hinata said
"Well I don't know, you could have more then one cousin!" Tenten said
"Sorry, I guess if I said that it was Neji you could have hung out with him years ago." Hinata rubbed the back of her head nervously.
"HINATA!" Tenten yelled trying to attack her but was being held back by Sakura.
"Sorry Tenten, but look now he totally likes you and NOW you know he lives near you so you could probably see him whenever you want."
"True." Tenten said calming down.
"That's it!" Ino said sitting up in the bed, "I'm transferring to Tenten's school so I can be with Shikamaru. I've made up my mind; I'll talk to my father about it when I get back home from camp."
"Like he'll let you change schools for some strange boy you met over at camp. I don't think he'd let you do that." Said Sakura
"At least I'm thinking of ways to be near him!" Ino defended
"Gosh, I didn't know he meant so much to you." Hinata teased
"Well….he does." Ino said crossing her arms over her chest making it final.
"AAwww, Ino I'm so happy for you." Sakura said as she hugged her friend.
"Well I'm happy for you too," Ino began "you found yourself a boy too. He even likes your forehead, so don't you dare let him go okay?"
"AAWW, you guys are so cute!" Tenten said referring to Ino and Sakura
"Well you come over here too!" they demanded as they wrapped their arms around Tenten.
"How about you and Neji, huh?" asked Ino "You both are so perfect for each other, I know I'm happy for you."
"Me too!" cried Sakura
"ME THREE!" Hinata yelled as she hugged them all too. "Just think if you got married." Hinata laughed "Then we would be cousin in-laws!"
"We could be related!" Tenten cried
"Tenten Hyuuga." Ino said trying to see how it sounded "I like that."
"Wow, that just sounds weird to think of you with my last name." Hinata said
"Hey Hinata I have a question for you." Sakura said as she started to braid Ino's hair.
"Okay." Hinata taking a pillow and putting it under her chin.
"Let's just say, hypothetically, that you married Naruto."
"Wha…WHA!" a blushing Hinata said while trying to get words to come out of her mouth.
"No wait, he's just the example. Okay so let's say you get married." Sakura said "Wouldn't that make your last name Uzumaki?"
"I guess that's true, but so what?" Hinata said confused
"OOOhh. I get it." Tenten said seeing where Sakura was going with this.
"So if your last name became Uzumaki then, wouldn't your company's name change to Uzumaki since your new family name would be Uzumaki?"
Hinata at first was thrown back with this thought. It was true that if her last name became "Uzumaki" then it would be "Uzumaki Corporations" instead of Hyuuga Corporations. Not to mention her family name, which had been going for centuries, would be changed to "Uzumaki" The Hyuuga name for the main branch would soon be Uzumaki.
"Oh my gosh……I don't know. Would it be changed to Uzumaki?" Hinata asked
"Hypothetically." Tenten added
"No, I think we would keep it Hyuuga Corp. I wouldn't want to change that, but then my family name would become Uzumaki. After generations of the Hyuuga name being one of the most powerful names around, it would be changed to…..Uzumaki."
"Hypothetically." Tenten added again
"Then would we, the Uzumakis, be feared just as much or would that be changed too? If I marry Naruto and my name became Uzumaki then would the respect for the "Hyuugas" now "Uzumakis" be any different?"
"Thanks Sakura, now you've got her rambling on and on." Ino yawned.
"Hinata why don't we just drop the subject." Sakura said
"No I can't. I never thought about this before, but because of me my family name is going to change."
"What if you kept your name?" Tenten asked "Or what if you made Naruto "hypothetically" change his last name to Hyuuga?"
"HAHAHAHA….Naruto Hyuuga?" Ino said trying it out. "I think I like Hinata Uzumaki better." Hinata fell backwards on the bed so she was looking at the ceiling.
"This is so confusing." She said putting her hands on her head. Ino then came into view.
"Hinata, why don't you just forget about it for now, okay?" Ino said
"Yeah, you're on vacation. You're not supposed to worry about things." Tenten said coming over Hinata next to Ino.
"When you get back home you can just ask your father what you should do." Sakura said also coming into view.
"Ugh…..you're right. I'll just wait till I get home to talk to my father about it." Hinata said sitting up now.
"Great I'm glad that that's settled." Ino said "So now you guys can leave my room so I can sleep."
"Fine, goodnight you guys." Tenten said walking out of the room followed by Sakura and Hinata.
"Goodnight!" Sakura and Hinata said
"Goodnight!" Ino said as she got under her covers.
BREAK
Hinata was dreaming about her future that night. She had dreamed that she was walking into a very large building that was one of her family's offices. It was like a skyscraper! She walked in and every person looked at her nervously since she was the boss. They all moved out of her way as she made it to her own private elevator. When she reached inside it she had her own elevator attendant who would press the buttons for her. She even had a couch for her to sit on since it would take a while to get to the billionth floor. When she finally reached the top everyone got out of her way again giving her nervous smiles.
"Good morning Miss Hinata." A person said
"Nice morning Miss Hinata." Another person said
Hinata then reached the huge double doors to her office. As they opened up for her she could hear somebody say, "Nice to see you Mrs. Uzumaki." Hinata froze and wanted to turn around to see who was talking and if they were talking to her, but the carpet she was standing on brought her straight into the room. The doors behind her slammed shut and she was now standing in front of a desk with a big chair turned around so she could only see its back.
"Hinata!" a voice from the chair said.
"Hey, what are you doing at my desk?" she asked the voice. The chair turned around with Naruto sitting in it wearing a power suit. He put his feet up on the desk and was wearing sneakers.
"This is my office, are you crazy?" he laughed "This is Uzumaki Corporation; after we got married I took over since it's my last name." Hinata was stunned! She couldn't even move. She looked outside the humongous window and even though she was on the billionth floor she could see her family out on the streets. They were in poor clothes and they were begging. She was soon down there with them and they were begging her for money, even her father.
"How….how did this happen?" she asked them sadly
"You got married to Naruto and because he is the male he took over." Hanabi coughed
"Now the family name is Uzumaki and no longer Hyuuga." Her father cried
"Where is Neji?" Hinata asked looking around
"Neji? He's part of the branch and their last name didn't change so now they are better then us!" her father said. Neji then was in a limo behind Hinata. He stuck his head out of the top and was waving at Hinata.
"Hinata, thank you for marrying that dobe, now the branch is better then the main!" he cheered
"But, that's not what I planned! This isn't what I planned, what am I going to do!" Hinata cried as an arm went around her shoulder. She looked up to see Naruto giving her a toothy grin.
"Don't worry honey, you can just go home and take care of our nine kids."
"N…NINE KIDS!" she said going to her knees
"Yep, and they're AAAALLLL BOYS!" he said pulling her tighter. Out of no where a bunch of little children came to Hinata calling her mommy. They all looked like little Narutos.
"Mommy can I be the heir of the Uzumaki Corporation!" one of them asked
"No I'M the oldest; I get to be the heir!"
All of the boys began to fight around Hinata and soon she was engulfed in yellow hair. She didn't know what to do; she didn't know who to ask help from. She looked around for one of her friends but she couldn't see any of them.
"Tenten!" she yelled "Tenten WHERE ARE YOU?"
"I'm in the limo with Neji!" she heard Tenten's voice. Hinata stood up and could see Neji and Tenten hanging out of the top of the limo. Tenten had a huge engagement ring on, and Neji had his arm around her.
"Where's Sakura, maybe she can help me." Hinata said out loud. Another limo pulled up and Sakura was with Sasuke. They looked like they were married too, and they were both waving to Hinata.
"Hi Hinata!" Sakura yelled "Check it out, me and Sasuke are married now! I LOVE BEING RICH!" she yelled as a helicopter began to land. Out of the helicopter came Ino with Shikamaru. They ran over to Hinata and were both holding hands.
"Look Hinata!" Ino yelled "Shikamaru's medicine business skyrocketed now we're in the money!"
"DO you have any kids?" Hinata asked
"Not yet!" Shikamaru said picking up Ino and twirling her around.
"Oh Shikamaru!" she laughed
"Ino, Sakura, Tenten…I NEED YOUR HELP!" Hinata yelled to her friends, but they weren't listening. "What am I going to do?" she said dropping to her knees.
"Hinata…..don't be upset." Naruto said. Hinata almost forgot about Naruto being there. She looked up at him and he was now wearing his regular clothes instead of a power suit. He wrapped his arms around her. "I'll help you; just tell me what's wrong."
BREAK
"Hinata?" Tenten asked shaking Hinata's sleeping body "Hinata, WAKE UP!"
"Huh….wha….Tenten?" Hinata asked waking up from her dream. "Where's Neji and the limo? Where's my dad and…where's Naruto!" Hinata sat up in her bed while her head was looking around the room.
"Whoa Hinata, you're in your room. You were having a dream, are you okay?" Tenten wrapped her arms around Hinata. "You feel a little warm; you could just be over heated."
"No I feel fine; I was just having a bad dream." Hinata said letting out a sigh of relief. "It was only a dream." She said so she could confirm it with herself. "Tenten….why are you here?" she asked getting confused.
"I could have sworn I heard you calling my name. I came in here and you were calling out for anybody to help you. That must have been some dream you were having." Tenten said letting her go.
"Yeah…it was." Hinata said walking over to her sliding door. She stared up at the sky and at all the stars, it relaxed her a bit. Tenten walked over to her too and began to open the door.
"Why don't we go outside." She offered "It'll cool you off." They both stepped out onto the balcony while a light breeze flew over them. Tenten leaned her back against the balcony and crossed her arms over her chest.
"So….do you want to tell me about your dream?" she smiled
"I'd rather not relive it." Hinata said leaning over the edge.
"That's okay. We can just hang out here till you think you can sleep again."
The wind blew their hair across their faces. It was really quiet out except for the little bugs making night time music. Tenten stayed leaning on the balcony with her eyes closed. Hinata was leaning over the balcony looking out over the woods towards the boy's camp. Naruto was over there she kept thinking. Then she remembered something that she thought of the first time she was on the balcony. She thought of the song "These Dreams", one of her favorite oldies songs. She had no clue why that song went through her head when she looked over the woods, but now she was starting to think she knew why.
"There's something out there I can't resist." She said whispering the lyrics into the soft breeze.
"Huh…what was that?" Tenten asked yawning and stretching out her arms.
"I said let's go back to sleep." Hinata lied as she led her friend back into the cabin.
BREAK
Naruto was walking down the streets in his town. He was heading for the ramen stand to get some dinner like he always did after papers. He got there and sat down in his usual stool right in front of the owner.
"Hey old man, some Miso ramen please." He said. The man continued to write things down on his clipboard like Naruto said nothing at all. "HEY, didn't you hear me!" Naruto yelled at the man. It didn't even faze him. "TURN UP THE HEARING AID OLD MAN!" Naruto yelled standing on his stool.
"Why can't he hear me?" Naruto asked himself. He got off the stool and headed for the streets where he ran up to people to see if they could hear him, but they couldn't. Naruto tried to grab a man's shoulder but he went right threw him. "WOE!" Naruto yelled as he stared at the hand that went through the man. "Am…I a ghost?"
Naruto kept going to people and he kept going through them. "THIS IS SO UNREAL! I have to find somebody, anybody who can see me." Naruto began to search but it was almost pointless. Each person he went up to couldn't hear him and didn't see him, not even Shikamaru who was walking the streets. "SHIKAMARU!" Naruto yelled. "I don't understand…why is this happening to me? WAIT….Sasuke! If anyone, he'll see me!" Naruto ran to the Uchiha mansion still wondering why no one could see him. "Not like it truly matters since all my life I was neglected just like that."
He made it to the Uchiha mansion and saw Sasuke out front with Neji. "Neji….SASUKE! Can't you guys hear me?" they continued to talk to themselves like Naruto wasn't even there. "Are you kidding me? Sasuke can't even see me!" Naruto ran back to the main streets of Konoha. He noticed some pink hair among the crowd. "Sakura?" he ran over to the hair and indeed Sakura was walking the streets with Ino and Tenten. "HEEEEY! Can you girls HEAR ME?" they continued to walk onward. "They…they couldn't even hear me." Naruto said looking down at his feet. "No one can hear me." He said growing sad.
"Naruto!" a happy voice called from behind. Naruto's ears perked up and turned around. People were walking by but he couldn't see who the voice was coming from. "Naruto!" it called out again. Naruto began to move around looking for the voice, it sounded like a females. Then, at the very end of the road, he could see someone waving to him. It was…
"….Hinata?" Naruto asked looking out to her. More people walked in front of him and he could no longer see her. He ran through all of the people trying to get to the end of the road where Hinata was. "Hinata….PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!" he yelled as he ran to where she was standing. When he got to the end of the road there was no one there.
"Hinata…" he said to himself sadly. "No one can see me. I'm all alone."
"Naruto!" Hinata said from behind as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Naruto quickly saw her and embraced her in a hug.
"HINATA, YOU…you can see me!" he said holding her tightly
"Of course I can see you….how could I miss you?" she said bewildered.
"Hinata, no one can see me. Sasuke, Neji, NO ONE!" he said looking at her face. "I felt alone again." He told her knowing she wouldn't understand what he meant by again.
"I don't understand what you mean by again," Hinata began "but I do know you're not alone anymore." Hinata smiled at Naruto and pulled him into another hug. Naruto hugged her back and then pulled away so he was close to her face.
"…uh…Hinata..?" Naruto gulped
"Yes Naruto?" Hinata asked as she looked up at him. Naruto's heart rate started to go off the charts, and he started to sweat.
"Can….can I….um…."
Hinata got the question and started to lean in to kiss him. Before he could even hit her lips he got hit with something else.
SPLASH
Naruto was just splashed with water by Kiba who was washing the dishes.
"Naruto!" Kiba yelled "You're supposed to be drying these dishes!"
"Huh…what?" Naruto yawned as he woke up from his dream.
Naruto, Neji, and Kiba were all in the cafeteria kitchen cleaning the dishes from breakfast. Naruto had just fallen asleep at the sink since he couldn't get to sleep last night. Kiba was yelling at him about how he wouldn't work but he wasn't even listening. He couldn't help but wonder about his dream, and Kiba noticed how Naruto's attention was else where.
"Alright, THAT'S IT!" Kiba yelled as he got the sink's hose and sprayed Naruto in between the legs. Naruto snapped back to his senses when Kiba did that.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Naruto yelled as he stared down at his pants. Kiba was laughing like a mad man.
"Somebody wet their pants!" he laughed as he pointed at Naruto.
"You're dead dog boy!" Naruto yelled as he took the hose and sprayed Kiba in the same spot. "HA! Now we're even." Naruto declared. Kiba didn't care about it being even, he was now pissed!
"I'll kill you Naruto!" he yelled as he charged at him, thankfully Neji stepped in between them.
"Do you both want to come back here and clean for three weeks instead of one?" he asked them. Kiba only growled, he knew Neji was right so he backed off. Naruto, with hose still in hand, sprayed Neji on his pants too.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Now we all look the same!" he declared. Kiba began to laugh along with Naruto and Neji just stared down at his now wet pants. He was very calm at first but when he looked up at Naruto there was nothing but death in his eyes.
"You're going to regret that, Naruto!" he declared by cracking his knuckles. Neji picked up a sponge that was just used to clean off chunky stuff from a pan that was suppose to be "scrambled eggs" and chucked it at Naruto. Naruto quickly ducked and the sponge sped for Kiba who wasn't paying attention and was laughing, mouth wide open.
"HAHAHAHAaacckkr!" Kiba gagged as the sponge went right in his mouth. Neji stared at Kiba in complete shock.
"I can't believe I missed." He said
"PAHAHAHAHAHA!" Naruto laughed as he pointed at Kiba "How does that taste dog boy?" Kiba took the sponge out of his mouth and ran to the sink. He forced the water on all the way and stuck his mouth right under the faucet where water was streaming out.
"HHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" he yelled as he jumped ten feet away from the sink. "HOT….HOT…..HOT…HOT!" Kiba yelled as he rubbed his tongue in pain.
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! You should see how stupid you look!"
"NA..NARU…ah…Naruto!" Kiba yelled as he ran after Naruto
"Don't blame me for your stupidity." Naruto laughed as he ran around the kitchen. They were all preoccupied with killing Naruto, including Neji who jumped in to help Kiba, that they didn't realize one of the cafeteria ladies came in to see how they were doing.
"How's it…..going? Hey! What's going ON?" she yelled which brought the three boys to a screeching halt. "WEELLL?" she asked again.
"Uhhhhh." They all thought for an explanation to why they were running around the room when Naruto thought of a brilliant idea.
"There was a swarm of bees!" he declared. Neji and Kiba fell over anime style.
"Bees?" she asked putting her hands on her hips. "You were, just now…..being chased by a swarm of bees?"
"YEAH, and then they just disappeared!" Naruto said again
"Right, well now that their gone, would you just finish the dishes already?" she said wiping off her forehead. "It's getting so hot out, I think I'm going to get some water."
The boys all walked over to the sink again to finish the dishes while the lunch lady went over to another sink to get a glass of water. After she quenched her thirst she left them again to finish up.
"Damn!" Naruto said "I wished she got some of the hot water from this sink."
"Actually I was hoping that too." Neji confessed
"I need to brush my tongue off." Kiba complained as he kept spitting into the sink.
"Hey don't get any of you dog drool on my clean dishes!" Naruto snapped
"You call those clean?" Kiba spat
"Yeah these are clean." Naruto said pointing at his pile of dishes that still had crud on them.
"Naruto," Neji began to say "Those aren't clean…AT ALL."
"Okay, well let's see your pile." Naruto demanded. Neji finished drying off a plate and he put it down with a stack of immaculate plates that were gleaming in the sunlight.
"HMP, those aren't that clean." Naruto said working harder on his plates.
"Naruto why don't I just finish your plates," Kiba said finishing his last ones. "Because I'm already done!" he said with pride.
"I don't need your help to clean a few rotten dishes." Naruto said working even harder on his pile.
BREAK
After they were done washing the dishes, and Naruto's dishes were spotless, they had to help start making lunch which meant…..HAIRNETS!
"You can NOT get that on my head!" Naruto yelled as he was being chased by a lunch lady.
"Naruto just put it on already!" Kiba yelled "They're not that bad." He lied
"Well Neji isn't wearing one!" Naruto said as he came to a stop. The lunch lady tackled him and got the net on his head. "AW CRUUD!"
"Well that's because he's hiding in the bathroom." Kiba said pointing to bathroom door.
"I am not!" Neji yelled from behind the door.
"What a baby." Naruto said walking over to Kiba adjusting his hairnet.
"Come on Neji, it's really okay!" Kiba tried to convince him.
"Hold on!" Neji yelled again.
"You just don't want to ruin your hair, am I right?" Naruto asked. There was no answer
"PAHAHAHAHAAA! I knew it, you don't want your hair getting messy!" Naruto laughed.
"I don't care about my hair." Neji yelled again
"Prove it!" Naruto yelled as they watched the door slowly open. Neji trudged out and grabbed his hairnet from the counter. He stared at it in disgust, and kept it far away from his body like it was about to jump on him.
"Now put it on like this." Naruto said pointing at his head "Just so you look like me."
"HA…Neji's going to have a lot of hair in his hairnet. He won't look anything like us." Kiba said
Neji through them the shut up or I'll kill you glare. It worked. They watched as Neji put on his hairnet and then one of the lunch ladies came over to help him.
"No no no, you're doing it all wrong." She said "You have such long hair that you have to start from the bottom and then rap it around your head. Let me help you sweaty." She said taking the hair net and wrapping his hair up. Naruto and Kiba tried to hold in there laughter but Kiba couldn't help himself anymore and forced it all out.
"Shut up!" Neji yelled as the lunch lady snapped the net on. "OW!" Neji complained.
"Now you two hyenas over there help start the Mac and cheese. You girly will help cook the Sloppy Joes."
"I'M NOT A GIRL!" Neji yelled at her.
"You're not a girl?" the old lunch lady asked taking a better look at him. "Well I'll be dammed; you look just like I did when I was a little girl." That had done it for Naruto and Kiba.
"PAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!" they both fell onto the floor and rolled around laughing holding their sides tightly. Neji clenched his fists and just decided to walk away to where the women were making Sloppy Joes.
"You two, get up!" yelled the lunch lady. "Go help with the Mac and Cheese!"
"Yes..Hahaa…maam." Kiba laughed as he got up.
"No problem." Naruto said laughing.
BREAK
It was the end of the day for the girls at camp and they were heading back to their cabins. Hinata was exhausted as she treaded up the huge hill.
"I'm recommending an escalator for this place." She said to herself. As she continued her way up her cell phone began to ring. She went through her sports bag and found her pink cell that she hadn't heard from in a really long time. She could see on the caller ID that it was Hanabi.
"Hello Hanabi!" Hinata said excited to hear from her sister.
"Hinata! How are you?" Hanabi asked a little cheerfully which was strange to Hinata.
"Um…fine…how are you?"
"Just fine, you sound really tired. Am I calling at a bad time?"
"Oh no I'm just walking back to my cabin. What's up?"
"Well I wanted to see how you were doing!"
"What else?" Hinata asked knowing her sister had an objective to the call.
"I just wanted….to talk to you….about…..Konohamaru."
"I KNEW IT!" Hinata cried "I knew…you liked him!"
"Well I just found out something." Hanabi said sadly.
"Oh my gosh, what!" Hinata asked growing worried
"Well, you'll never believe this but, he doesn't go back to his home. He goes to summer camp!"
"Actually I believe it." Hinata said
"Huh?"
"I saw him here. He goes to the camp next to mine. He was at the dance!"
"He was…………he went to a dance?" Hanabi asked growing sad.
"YUP, but let me tell you. He did NOT dance with anyone." She could hear the rise in Hanabi's mood already even though she didn't say anything.
"So he….didn't…dance with anyone?" Hanabi asked.
"That's what he told me!" Hinata said finally reaching her cabin and walking inside. Ino, Tenten, and Sakura were all talking on the couch and watched her go upstairs. Hinata just mouthed 'Hanabi' so they knew who she was talking to. She walked up to her room so she could finish her phone conversation in there.
"You know he didn't want me to tell you that he was there. He said it's because...um…you once said that people who go to sports camps shouldn't waste their time and just get a summer job."
"Oh yeah…I know I know, Moegi told me the same thing. I wish I could take it all back." Hinata could hear her sister falling backwards on probably her bed or her couch. Hinata did the same as her sister and fell backwards on her own bed.
"You know Hanabi you need to just lighten up around guys, okay? You always act like you need to be better then someone when you're already better then….everyone!"
'That's what Konohamaru said too.' Hanabi thought
"You know you always act uptight, and that should be me since I'm going to be the heir to the Hyuuga family and Corporation. You really need to loosen up some more, especially….near Konohamaru since your relationship is on the rocks."
"HEY!" Hanabi yelled so the whole room could hear her, even though there was no one in the room.
Hinata just laughed at her sister's reaction. "Sorry Hana, but just trust me okay? That is why you called me right? To get my opinion on what you should do?"
"Um…well…"
"Looks like I hit the nail on the head." Hinata said nonchalantly "Well I'm going to go now but first….do you have Neji's cell phone number?"
"Actually I have it written down some where. I'll go look for it." She said getting up to go over to her desk. "Why do you need it?" she asked as she went through an address book.
"No real reason…I just need to talk to him." Hinata tried to say making it sound like no real big deal. The truth was she wanted to talk to Neji about the whole getting married and changing her name thing.
"Okay I have it. It's 555-9371."(AN: nine starts with the letter N the three is like a backwards E the number 7 is like an upside down J and the 1 is like an I. NEJI, get it?)
"Got it. Thanks Hanabi, and remember what I just told you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll think hard about it. Have fun on the rest of your camping trip. It is going well right?" Hinata couldn't help but give out a small laugh.
"It's….AMAZING!" she screamed as she jumped around on her bed.
"Woe…WOE…HINATA!" Hanabi yelled "What on earth is happening at your camp that has you so…AMPED?"
"SHE'S IN LOVE!" Sakura, Ino, and Tenten yelled as they charged through Hinata's door.
"You're in what!" Hanabi asked confused
"Were you guys spying on me?" Hinata demanded as she put stomped her foot down on her bed.
"DUH!" Ino yelled as Sakura ran up to Hinata and stole her phone.
"HI HANABI! It's Sakura."
"Give me that!" Hinata demanded, but Sakura refused.
"Just want you to know that Hinata is in LOVE!" Sakura yelled into the phone.
"She's….IN LOVE?" Hanabi asked being so excited for her sister.
"She sure is!" Sakura sang into the phone
"HAHAHA…what's his name?" Hanabi asked. Hinata got the phone back from Sakura.
"Sorry Hanabi I got to murder my friend. Talk to you later, love ya. BYE!" she quickly shut her phone. "SAKURA!" she laughed as she hit her with a few pillows.
"HAHAHAH…sorry Hinata!" Sakura laughed as she ran away.
"So how long were you all listening?" Hinata asked
"We really didn't hear much." Ino said heading for the balcony.
"Hey Hinata…..can I have Neji's number?" Tenten asked pleadingly.
"HMMM…..MAAAAAAYBE!" Hinata teased.
"PLEEEASE! How can you be so cruel?" Tenten sobbed as she fell to her knees jokingly.
"You'll have to do something for me, but what?" Hinata pretended to think.
"Anything!" Tenten cried as she held her hands above her head pleading.
"Make her pull a prank at night!" Ino suggested.
"THAT'S IT! Nice one Ino, but what should you do?" Ino and Sakura began to think too.
"Teepee a cabin?" Ino suggested
"Yeah, but whose?" Hinata asked
"TEMARI'S!" Sakura yelled
"AWSOME IDEA!" Ino yelled as she high-fived Sakura.
"Okay Tenten, you have to teepee Tamari's cabin with…" Hinata was then cut off by Sakura.
"She can't teepee that cabin, Livvy lives there too!"
"Good point." Ino said. They were in a real dilemma, but finally cam down to a solution.
"Okay," Hinata began. "At three in the morning Tenten you'll go to the latrines and steal their toilet paper. Bring a book bag too. Ino go to Livvy and ask her about Tamari."
"Wait…Ino is helping me?" Tenten asked
"Well of course we're all helping you." Sakura said "One, there's no way that you could do this by yourself. Two, it sounds like too much fun!"
"Well where is Ino going?" Tenten asked
"I'm going to talk to Livvy and get her involved in our plan. We'll find out…Oh you guys just tell her, I need to find her and hopefully she's not near Tamari or Kin." Ino then ran out of the room.
"Like Ino was saying," Hinata began to say. "Okay, well right now Ino is going to talk to Livvy and see where Tamari sleeps so instead of us teepeeing the cabin, we'll just get her room."
"That's so….AWSOME!" Tenten cried as she jumped to her feet. "Tell me more!"
"Alright, check this out." Sakura said smirking. "If Livvy is going to help us then she'll help us get some sleeping pills into Tamari's system."
"We have sleeping pills on us?" Tenten asked
"Trunk. Of. Tricks." Hinata said pointing to her trunk.
"So we're going to drug her?" Tenten asked again.
"Yeah." Sakura and Hinata said at once.
"Okay, please continue." Tenten said growing evil with the plan.
"Okay Tenten," Hinata said "You have to get the latrine toilet paper and you have to get something else that's going to be really hard."
"Tell me, I can get it. What is it?" Sakura started to smile evilly.
"Alls you have to get is some…."
"Some?" Tenten was getting a little impatient
"MOUSE POOP!" Hinata laughed, while Sakura burst out laughing too.
"Wha…..really? Are you serious?" Tenten asked disgusted.
"YUP!" Sakura said putting her hands on her hips.
"WHY, if I may ask, do I need to get….ew…mouse….poop?" Hinata was more then happy to explain.
"You see we'll put the mouse poop under Tamari's bed and it'll attract more mice. Then, hopefully, there are windows in her room. We'll open those up and that'll let in the owls that eat the mice."
"I still can't stomach that part." Sakura said holding her stomach.
"Any who," Hinata began again. "with owls being attracted into the room that'll mean more animals will be drawn in."
"And you really think that Livvy wants animals owls and poop in her cabin?" Tenten asked pointing out a flaw of the plan.
"That's why Ino is clearing it with her." Hinata said as if she was saying "Duh Tenten!"
"Do you think she'll go through with it?" Tenten asked again.
"Only if she hates them as much as we hate them." Sakura said. Hinata began the plan again.
"So basically Tenten, if it's cool with Livvy, you'll get toilet paper and mouse crap. We'll all help put it with Tamari, Questions?" Tenten and Sakura both shook their heads no.
"Good, now we just wait for Ino to get back." Hinata said taking a seat on her bed.
