Her bed squeaked when she laid back down in it after turning out the lights. She wiped her mouth clean of all the saliva that was on it and hugged herself tightly before she exploded with a fit of giggles that would get everyone's attention.
'A perfect way to end this amazing day, and there was no way I was about to miss out on doing that.' She thought as her heart began to slowdown its pace. She stared up at the ceiling and smiled at it satisfied. All she could think about was how amazing he was, and the more she thought of that the faster her heart rate became. She turned in her bed to look out the window which was right next to her bed when instead she saw a pair of eyes right at her level. Before she could scream a hand that belonged to the eyes came and shut her mouth.
"….Hinata…" the voice whispered.
"Tenten?" Hinata asked as Tenten's hand slowly moved off of her mouth.
"I just saw what you just did!" she giggled as the grin which she couldn't contain grew even wider.
"Wha…..are you sure you're not just seeing things?" Hinata asked her.
"Oh I'M sure." She teased. "My eyes were under the covers for a while so they were already adjusted to the dark and once you hit the lights I came out of the covers to see…you…." Tenten couldn't help but fall to her butt and let some giggles out. Lucky for Tenten she was so light that her hitting the floor didn't make a noise at all.
"Be quiet!" Hinata whispered as she leaned her body over the bed to look at Tenten's fallen body.
"If I tell Neji, you can kiss Naruto goodbye!" Tenten teased.
"Tenten get serious!" Hinata said sounding a little mad. "You can't tell Neji!"
"Hinata, you know I won't. I was just kidding with you. I mean come on, kissing in the dark is de modo que MONO!" she squealed.
"Tenten in English not Spanish." Hinata said sounding frustrated.
"Sorry, kissing in the dark is so cute! But let's face it, you weren't kissing in the dark, it was more like, you were both trying to eat each other!" Although it was dark in the room Tenten could tell that Hinata's entire face was a brilliant shade of red. Soon Hinata's voice began to shake and she reverted back into her old habit of stuttering.
"W..We weren't..t…T..Tenten!"
"OH now you're stuttering, how cute! Naruto makes you stutter. Do I need to beat that out of you again?" Tenten laughed. Hinata slowed her nerves down and began to look at Tenten with a killing intent. "I know that look." Tenten said nervously as she sweat dropped and crawled under Hinata's bed to get to her own. Hinata turned to her right and looked down on the ground to see Tenten doing a belly crawl across the floor and under Ino's bed.
'I guess that's how she got here without me seeing her.' Hinata thought as she went under her covers. 'I can't believe she saw me hooking up with Naruto!' Hinata yelled in her mind from underneath her covers. She still couldn't help but smirk at the thought of what she and Naruto had just done when she turned the lights off.
FLASHBACK
Hinata hit the lights with her fingers and Naruto thought she was going to shut the curtains, but to his surprise Hinata reached up and looped her arms around his neck. Before he could think, she had pulled his head down to hers. It started out slowly with her lips brushing against his, but the she locked more firmly onto his lips. His eyes shot wide open as her tongue went into his mouth, but he flowed right along with her. Before he knew it he was inside her mouth too and he was holding onto her hand even tighter then he had been before. Hinata slowly brought up her right hand to behind his head and lightly dragged her nails down going against the back of his neck which felt absolutely amazing to him. They both broke apart and Hinata was about to go back for more but before she could hit Naruto's lips he forced the rest of the curtains shut and hurried to his bed. Hinata was a little stunned but didn't care since she just had such a huge rush!
END FLASHBACK
Naruto was lying in his bed with his hands behind his head and he stared up at the ceiling. He was still trying to process everything that just happened to him. He still couldn't believe that Hinata just SURPRISED him like that.
'Man. That. Was WAY better then Ramen!' He thought to himself. 'When she started to put her fingers on my neck I don't think I could control myself anymore. If Neji, Sasuke, and Shikamaru weren't here I think I would have tried to get further with her. JUST GREAT! I'm having perverted thoughts. Hinata's high-quality and should be treated as so. In fact…..she probably deserves someone who is of high quality too. Maybe her father was right to choose for her to marry an Uchiha, I mean they're as high as you can get around here.' Naruto looked out to the window that was to his right. He couldn't see the moon but he knew it was out that night. He wanted to go to sleep but at the same time he was just too excited. The day that he just had was one he would probably never have again, and Hinata ending it for him like that probably made it all the better. Now Naruto couldn't help but think that he would never get to see Hinata again and that she just thought this was a summer fling for her.
'But she couldn't right? She's not like that.'
'But how do you know that? You haven't even known her that long.' Came a question from the back of his head.
'Well Neji, Sasuke, and Shikamaru say she's not like that so maybe this isn't a summer thing. I hope she doesn't think that that's what I think this is. Hinata is so important to me. When I finally made friends I made a promise to never loose them, Hinata counts in that promise too but I don't even live near her. I could never get to her.' Naruto slowly began to close his eyes.
The wind started to blow against the old cabin they were all in and made the near by trees brush against the top of the roof. The entire camp was now asleep after a very hard day, so it was quite peaceful. The sky was very clear and all clouds were gone to show the stars that were twinkling along side the moon that was glowing as well in a crescent form. A very crazy and memorable day ending with a silent night. It was a perfect way to end the day, and maybe even the story. However the story isn't over just yet, in fact there are some things that still need to be accomplished. So as the peaceful night comes to an end a new day will begin, but as our new day begins summer will slowly end.
It was 10:30 in the morning when Neji woke up. He stretched out his arms and his back, the bed they provided him with was pretty hard.
'I'd rather have slept on the floor.' He thought as he got out of the bed and stood on the cold floor. He looked around on the floor for some slippers since he was only bare foot. His friends always made fun of him for owning slippers, but Neji was classy and most of the Hyuugas wore slippers so he didn't care what they thought. Alas, there were no slippers on the floor for him to use so he decided to just deal and go find breakfast. Shikamaru was still sleeping so he tried not to make any noise as he went around the curtain. He looked at the girls' beds and saw that they were all empty.
'Probably eating.' He thought as he opened the door to go out into the main office of the nurse. Once Neji shut the door his eyes widened a little bit at seeing everyone eating right there around a table that was brought in. The table was a big circle with everyone who was awake eating off of it. Naruto sat closest to the door with Hinata to his left, and she was feeding him a piece of toast. Sasuke and Sakura were right across from them laughing at what Hinata was doing and to Sakura's left were Kurenai and Asuma Sensei who were next to Hinata. To Sasuke's left was Ino, an empty chair, Lee, Tenten, an empty chair, and then Naruto. All the girls seemed to be wearing a robe over their gown and, HOLD ON! Lee was sitting next to Tenten and he was holding a glass of orange juice up to her mouth so she could drink form it. Tenten had a huge sweat drop in the back of her head as she stared at the glass nervously.
"Lee?" Neji asked blinking once to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing.
"huh? Good morning Neji!" Lee declared as he placed the glass down. Tenten let out a huge sigh of relief and Naruto began to choke on his toast.
"What's Lee doing here?" Neji asked annoyed.
"I came to see how you were all doing. We're all so relieved that you're all doing okay." Lee told him.
"Thanks Lee, we're all doing fine." Neji said walking over to where Lee was. "Now if you'll excuse me." He said eyeing the chair Lee was in. Lee made a confused look but then he understood what Neji wanted.
"Sorry, I suppose this is your seat next to the lovely Tenten." Lee said getting out of the chair and standing aside so Neji could sit in it. Once he was seated Neji looked at all the food in front of him and he wondered what he should have first. He looked around and then he saw a plate of pancakes.
"Can somebody pass those pancakes?" Neji asked.
"Actually Neji, those are mine." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Then where are the rest?" Neji asked.
"Well….that's kind of….all of them." Naruto said regrettably. Neji looked a little upset but then moved on around the table trying to see if he could find something else.
"Alright, can someone hand me the French Toast?" he asked. Sasuke grabbed the plate and put it down in front of Neji. "So where did all this food come from?" Neji asked as he placed some on his plate.
"Compliments of Sanshou, that old woman sure knows how to cook!" Naruto said.
"Yes, she was more then happy to supply us with all this food." Lee said.
"Well, it's better then Ramen that's for sure." Neji said taking a bight.
"If you don't like ramen then you have no soul." Naruto put simply as Ino began to stand up from her seat.
"I think I'm going to wake up Shikamaru now since we're all awake."
"Aw come on Ino, let the guy sleep." Sakura said. "Don't you think he's pretty tired after carrying you around all yesterday?"
"I guess your right." Ino said sitting back down. "Are you saying I'm heavy?" Ino asked beginning a fight.
"INO, go ahead and wake him up." Hinata said. Sasuke and Neji raised their eyebrows wondering why Hinata would suggest that. "Just be nice about it and not suffocate him with a pillow like you do to me." Hinata said as she took a sip from her orange juice.
"Fine, I'll just stare at him till he wakes up." Ino said walking away.
"You'll give him a heart attack if you do that!" Sakura warned.
"I'm ignoring you!" Ino sang as she slowly opened up the door to go in. As it shut Kurenai and Asuma stood up.
"We'll be back. Tell Kakashi we went out if he wants to know where we went." Asuma said.
"Okay." Hinata and Sakura said as the two walked out of the nurse's office.
"So what were you all laughing about when I got in here?" Neji asked as he cut his toast.
"OH it was nothing!" Naruto said trying to make it sound lame. "Can you pass the syrup?" Naruto asked Neji.
"So Sasuke what was so funny?" Neji asked ignoring Naruto.
"Yeah why were you both laughing?" Lee asked. Lee was taking a seat on the other side of Tenten and he leaned his left arm on the table towards Sakura and Sasuke so he could hear better.
"Actually Neji, nothing was funny." Tenten said. "Right Sasuke?"
"Uhhhhhh." Sakura then elbowed him which didn't go unnoticed by Neji. "It was nothing." Sasuke decided.
"Fine." Neji sighed as he began to eat his food.
Ino crept back into the room with all the beds. She tiptoed around the curtain and see Shikamaru under all of his covers. She slowly slid her feet across the floor so he wouldn't hear her. She did pause because she thought she heard someone behind her but she ignored it and continued to the bed. Once she was there she wondered how she should wake him up.
'OH!OH!OH! I'll kiss him awake!' she thought. Before Ino could lift up the sheets she began to get nervous of that idea. 'It's not like I've never kissed him before, but I don't want him to get mad at me for waking him up. That would be awkward if he yelled at me for kissing him and went back to sleep. OH, what if I tickled him? Er I guess that wouldn't work either since no one is ticklish in the morning. I promised Hinata I wouldn't wake him up with a pillow, so maybe I'll just wake him up gently. Sounds like my best bet!' Ino decided as she bent down to the bed. She lifted up the covers slowly to see which side his head was on but there was nothing there but a pillow. She threw the rest of the blankets off and only saw a bunch of pillows there instead of Shikamaru.
Before Ino could react to what she was seeing a pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind her. They pulled her closer to a very warm body and the head that belonged to that body leaned it's head on her shoulder.
"Boo." Shikamaru said as he held her a little tighter.
"Shikamaru!" Ino laughed as she turned her head back to see him. His face was smiling but his eyes were closed. He was definitely right where he wanted to be at that moment. Shikamaru's grip around her grew a little tighter and Ino knew he felt tired by the way his head was laying on her lazily. She turned herself around and hugged him back.
'He's so huggily and snuggily!' Ino thought.
It was warm in their hug and Ino had her head wresting on his chest. Shikamaru couldn't help but kiss her on her neck. He didn't want to let her go at that moment and by the way she held him neither did she.
"Good morning to you too!" Ino sighed as he rested on her more putting more weight on her.
"I had a pretty weird dream about you last night." Shikamaru told her.
"About what?" Ino asked.
"It was pretty bad. We were back in the water and I couldn't find you like I did last time." Shikamaru said.
"..oh." Ino said holding him a little tighter. Shikamaru was still smiling with his eyes closed when he pulled her away from him.
"Thank God it was just a dream." He said as he opened his eyes to a smiling Ino.
"Yeah. I thought I would have a nightmare last night but I didn't." Ino said giving him one more hug. "So why were you hiding?" she asked with a wry smile.
"I heard you say you were going to wake me up so I thought I would just have a little fun with you first." He told her. "As soon as you were about to wake me up you completely paused. What was that about?"
"Oh, well I wasn't sure of how I should have woken you up." Ino told him.
"How were you going to wake me up?" he asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well I was going to tickle you but knew that wouldn't work, I was going to then try just gently waking you up, or just kiss you awake, but I figured you wouldn't like that last one." Ino blushed.
"You sure about that?" he asked as he leaned down to kiss her. Ino returned the kiss but they quickly broke it.
"Yeah I'm sure. You probably would have said something along the lines of troublesome." Ino giggled making Shikamaru fall over anime style.
"I think you know me all too well now." Shikamaru told her with a smile.
"I think I know you pretty much to a T." she said. "You hungry?"
"I thought you said you knew me to a T, now you're asking me if I'm hungry? After everything that happened last night why wouldn't I be hungry?"
"So…..that's a no then?" Ino giggled.
"Troublesome women." Shikamaru said walking away.
"SEE I do know you!" she laughed. Shikamaru quickly turned around, grabbed Ino and dunked her down. He then crashed his lips against hers and gave her a deep and passionate kiss. Ino's eyes were wide at first but then she went right along with Shikamaru who was now putting his tongue in her mouth. Just a taste of Ino made Shikamaru hungry for breakfast since she had just eaten it. Once he broke away he said something he never thought he would ever say in his life.
"Tastes like you had beacon for breakfast, is there any left?" Ino let out a short laugh.
"Nope, you should have woken up earlier!" she told him.
"So I'm guessing you ate most of it?"
"You know me all too well." She smiled. Shikamaru bent down again to give her another passionate kiss when by accident he some how fell over and they both landed on the floor with a loud thud.
"OW!" Ino yelled since Shikamaru landed on her.
"Sorry!" Shikamaru yelled as he pushed his arms up so that he was just above her. "Don't know what happened. He tried to get the rest of himself up so he wasn't over her anymore but Ino grabbed him by his collar with her two hands and pulled him down to her so she could kiss him. Shikamaru, all though surprised with this, went along with her like she had done with him.
"That's too bad; you guys completely missed the bed. If you're going to do it at least get under the covers." Came the unexpected voice of Naruto who was leaning against the wall with Sakura and Sasuke right behind him staring at the scene before them.
Ino threw Shikamaru completely off of her and stood up brushing herself off. Shikamaru stood up holding his head and giving Naruto the 'I'm going to kill you for that.' Look.
"We heard you yelp and thought there was a problem, BUT I guess there isn't so we'll JUST be leaving." Sakura said as she went right back threw the door with some giggles.
"And I thought what Naruto and Hinata did last night was bad." The voice of Tenten came even though she was no where to be seen.
"WHAT?!" yelled Neji and Sasuke. Naruto then sweat dropped and looked around for help.
"What are you talking about?" he asked as if it was nothing. Soon Neji appeared in the room and he and Sasuke were ganging up on him. "D..Didn't you hear her. She said she THOUGHT what we did was bad meaning it really wasn't."
"Hinata, what did you do last night?" Neji demanded. Hinata wasn't in the room but she could be heard from the table.
"Lee is groping Tenten!" she yelled.
"LEE I'LL KILL YOU!" Neji yelled as he charged back into the other room.
"Well we better get in there and save Lee's life." Naruto said casually as he walked out of the room.
"Don't think this is over Naruto." Sasuke said as he walked out right behind him.
Ino and Shikamaru were left staring at each other blankly.
"What was that?" Ino asked.
"Weirdest thing ever, but that sort of thing happens all the time so I try to ignore it." Shikamaru put simply.
"No, I mean what you just did. You dunked me just a minute ago, what was that about?" Ino asked.
"Oh, well you said you knew me to a T right? Since you didn't see that one coming I guess you really don't know me all that well, eh Ino?" Shikamaru smirked.
Ino's eyes went wide and she was about to protest, but then they softened and she began to smile. "I guess I still have much to learn." She said almost showing a hint of sadness. "So are you ready to eat?"
"Yeah, let's get out of here. I'm starving." He smiled as they both walked out of the room.
"I wonder why it's taking Ino so long to wake up Shikamaru." Sakura said. "She went in five minutes ago."
"I know he's lazy but he's not that lazy." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke this is Shikamaru we're talking about. I'm sure she's having a real hard time waking him up." Naruto said standing up from his seat. "I'll go help her out." Naruto said walking into the room.
"Should have stopped him." Neji said as he took a sip of tea that he had poured himself.
"In the immortal words of Shikamaru, it would have been too troublesome. Knowing Naruto he'll go in there and make it all worse which should be a refreshing laugh." Sasuke told them.
Crash
"OW!" Ino yelled
"Hear that?" Tenten asked as Sasuke and Sakura ran to the room to see what all the commotion was about.
"Wonder what Naruto did." Neji said out loud as he took a bight into some toast. A second later after Neji had said that Sakura came out in a fit of a giggles.
"What happened?" Tenten asked.
"They were making out on the floor!" Sakura said rather quickly as Neji stood up from his seat.
"And I thought what Naruto and Hinata did last night was bad." Tenten said rather loudly making both Hinata and Neji freeze. Neji's eyes began to grow dark and he charged himself into the room.
"WHAT?!" Yelled the voices of not only Neji but Sasuke too.
"Tenten!" Hinata hissed as she stared ice cold daggers at her soon to be EX best friend Tenten.
"Hinata what were you doing last night?" Sakura asked as she took her original seat. She sat on her knees in hopeful anticipation as she waited for Hinata to begin spilling.
"Hinata, what did you do last night?" Neji demanded from the other room. Hinata tried to find a scapegoat quick and there sat poor little Lee who was still sitting next to Tenten just eating a piece of grapefruit. He could feel Hinata staring at him so he looked up and smiled at her.
"Lee is groping Tenten!" Hinata yelled. Lee gave Hinata very confused look and froze completely in his seat.
"…But I am eating…"
"LEE I'LL KILL YOU!" Neji yelled as he returned back into the room to pummel Lee.
"Neji calm down!" Tenten yelled. "Lee isn't doing anything!" Tenten said standing up now. It was too late for Neji to hear that, he had already taken Lee to the ground.
"NEJI!" Tenten yelled to get him to stop. Just then the front door opened up which got Neji to stop hurting Lee.
"Hey everybody!" came the cheerful voice of Kiba who walked in with his cell phone to his left ear and a bag slung over his shoulder. "Glad to see you're all….okay?" he asked noticing the tumble that had just been going on.
"You sure came in at a good time." Naruto said appearing at the scene along with Sasuke.
"Yes, we sure did." Came the voice of Kakashi Sensei who walked in right behind Kiba.
"Kakashi!" Hinata yelled alert.
"I see we're all awake this morning. How is everybody feeling?" he asked looking at all of them. Neji stood up and Lee did as well with his eyes in a daze.
"I'm fine!" Lee said as he held his head in dizziness.
"Well that's good and all Lee, but I was talking about everybody else." Kakashi said. "Don't tell me Shikamaru is still sleeping." He said looking around for Shikamaru.
"Believe us Kakashi." Naruto said. "He's WIDE awake." Naruto laughed.
BAM
"OW! What the hell was that for?" Naruto asked as Shikamaru walked out with Ino holding his hand.
"Because….you're an idiot." He said simply as Ino lead him to where she was sitting.
"So, besides Naruto's head injury everyone seems to be okay?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm cool."(Sasuke)
"We're Fine."(Sakura)
"I feel fine."(Tenten)
"Just hungry."(Shikamaru)
"We're alright." (Ino)
"Just Peachy!" (Hinata)
"Fine."(Neji)
They all said at once.
"So now my next question is where are Kurenai and Asuma?"
"They said they were going out." Sakura said.
"Really?" Kakashi asked as he raised one of his eyebrows. "Well isn't that interesting."
"Why would that be interesting?" Naruto asked.
"Oh, no reason. I'm going to go out myself but once you're all done here I want all of you guys to go back to your cabins and get dressed. Ladies I don't know if you saw them or not but we had some suitcases packed with a few of your clothes. They're over there behind the nurse's desk; you can all get dressed in the back where you were all sleeping."
"Kakashi, how did our clothes get here?" Hinata asked.
"We had a couple of your friends pack them up and we drove them over in the bus that'll be taking you all back to your camp." He told her.
"What friends?" Tenten asked.
"Temari and Livvy." Kiba answered. "I called them up and asked them to do it. They were more then happy to do it and they're happy to know that you're all okay. I still have Livvy on the line right now." Kiba said motioning to his phone in his hand.
"How'd you get Livvy's number?" Hinata asked.
"Just yesterday, wanna talk to her?" Kiba asked.
"Kiba, you might want to look at your cell phone's screen." Kakashi said.
"Huh, why?" Kiba asked as he began to look at it. "AHH, no service!" he yelled. "That does explain why she wasn't talking for the past three minutes." He said shutting his mobile.
"So I'll be back later ladies. As for you boys I'm expecting you out of here and dressed. I hope I just made myself clear enough." Kakashi said as he walked out of the office.
"So Kiba what's with the bag?" Shikamaru asked.
"This is Livvy's. She left it here yesterday and I jut wanted to know if one of you girls would take it back to her when you leave."
"Sure thing, give it here." Ino asked as Kiba unslung the bag off his shoulder and gave it to Ino.
"So what was going on in here? Why was Neji pounding on Lee?" Kiba asked.
"Misunderstanding." Neji said crossing his arms and closing his eyes.
"Say no more." Kiba said not wanting to get into it with Neji. "Lee I still need to find Temari's bag, maybe you should come with me and look for it."
"Good idea." Lee said getting to his feet with the assistance of Tenten.
"Great, we'll see you all later." Kiba said. Then Kiba smiled as he looked over at Hinata. "I'm glad you're all okay. Hopefully we'll see you all later. Come on Lee." He said looking over at Lee who was walking towards him.
"Right behind you!" he announced. "We'll see you guys later!" Lee yelled as he shut the door behind him. Hinata couldn't help but let out a short giggle as she stared at the door.
"That guy cracks me up. He's never going to change is he?" she asked the majority of the room. Neji let out a 'hmp' noise from where he stood.
"It would be a miracle if he did, but I highly doubt that." Neji said as he showed a smile.
"Yeah," Tenten agreed. "There's no way he's changing. But I don't think I'd want him to."
"Tenten we know you wouldn't want him to change..." Sakura began to say.
"But I don't think I'd want him to change out of the sweet guy he is today either." Hinata finished before Sakura brought something up.
Ino began to giggle as she mumbled under her breath so only Tenten could hear. "Tenten Rock."
"INO SHUT-UP!" Tenten yelled as she hit Ino with the back of her hand playfully, yet her voice was quite serious.
"What's she talking about?" Sasuke asked noticing the two girls.
"Nothing!" Tenten yelled with authority. "Ino's just crazy. She has NO idea what she's talking about!"
"She's right," Ino admitted. "I have no idea what I'm saying!" Ino said with a smile.
Hinata and Sakura looked at Ino wide eyed. No way was she agreeing with someone about being wrong and that she had NO idea what she was talking about. Even Tenten was giving Ino a confused look. No one was talking and it was a little awkward so Naruto volunteered to break it.
"Weirdoes." He said walking back to the table for more food.
"Hey Naruto!" Ino yelled annoyed as she put her hands on her hips. Tenten only laughed.
"Well neither of you are going to shut it, and then we'll all be left in the dark about what just happened." Naruto said drinking some juice out of a glass on the table.
"Hey that's mine." Hinata said. Naruto didn't hear her since Ino overpowered her with a louder thing to say to Naruto.
"You obnoxious brat!" she yelled.
"I know you are but what am I?" Naruto laughed. The guys weren't surprised with Naruto's response, but the girls had never seen this side of him before.
"Little immature, aren't we Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"Hey I'm just kidding around." He said. "Trying to get the conversation going before we all get bored and leave."
"You have three seconds to apologize to me Naruto!" Ino demanded.
"….Well….I'm waiting for the count off." Naruto said.
"One…..TWO…….THREE!" she yelled. Naruto went no where but only gave her a sly smile. "YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THAT NARUTOOOO!" Ino yelled as she began to chase after Naruto.
Everyone watched as Ino chased Naruto around the entire room. A few times she slipped on the floor and he began to loose her. He ran around a side of the table but THERE she was right in front of him out of no where.
"YIIIAAAH!" Naruto yelled as he ran for his only exit which was the front door. He ran outside and knew Ino wouldn't be able to get him since he was faster then her. "HAHA, now what Ino?" Naruto laughed as he turned to see her standing at the door. For some odd reason Ino was smiling evilly as she leaned against the door waving at Naruto. "Huh? HEY WAIT!" Naruto yelled as he saw her close the door. He ran up to it and jiggled the doorknob but it didn't open. "INO! Let me IN!" Naruto yelled.
To the left of the door was a window where Ino was peering around the shades. Naruto saw this and began to bang on the window. "INO! LET. ME. IN." he yelled. Soon Hinata appeared right next to Ino. "HINATA!" Naruto yelled relieved to see her. "Open up!" They both laughed and stuck their tongues out at Naruto. "Huh? HEY COME ON! Errrrrr. FINE, so WHAT! I'm locked out. BIG DEAL!" Naruto yelled.
"Look at what you're wearing!" Ino yelled as she pointed at Naruto. Naruto got confused and looked down at his attire.
He saw a white hospital gown and his bare feet. Then it hit him. A hospital gown, WITH NO BACK!
"WELL! WELL! WELL!" yelled an old but familiar voice. Naruto slowly turned around to see Zaku pointing at Naruto. "It's been a while Naruto. I was wondering when I'd see you again, but I didn't think it'd be like this!" he laughed. Standing a few feet next to him was Dosu who was mocking Naruto as well.
"Bad day to wear dirty boxers!" he yelled grabbing the attention of passing by campers.
"Check it out it's Naruto!" laughed one of the guys.
"Look at his get up!" yelled another.
"Nice dress!" yelled someone unseen.
"Well at least I don't wear tidy whities!" Naruto retaliated at Dosu. Dosu immediately stopped laughing, but Zaku stupidly continued to laugh.
"HAHAHA, he's right Dosu!" he laughed making Naruto's statement a straight up fact.
"Dosu wears WHAT!?" laughed a camper.
"What a loser!" yelled another as more people began to gather.
"zaaaaKUU!" Dosu yelled as he gave Zaku the death stare.
"Oh shit." Zaku cringed knowing the look. "This isn't over Naruto!" Zaku yelled before running from Dosu. "You're a dead man, mark my words!" as soon as the last word left his mouth he began to run for his life from Dosu who was only making it even more true that he wore tidy whities since he was about to kill Zaku.
"Hey look! There's a GIRL!" Yelled a guy to the three guys that were around them. He was pointing at the cabin window behind Naruto and there at the window was Ino. As soon as the guy spotted her Hinata reappeared at the window making the guys go even crazier.
"There's ANOTHER ONE!" yelled another guy.
Ino and Hinata both cringed and ducked out of the window's sight. A lot of the guys dropped what they were doing and ran up to the cabin to see the girls.
"Aw great!" Naruto said.
As soon as the guys approached the front of the cabin where Naruto stood getting ready to take them all on the entire heard of wild guys froze in their spots. At the window appeared Sasuke Uchiha and Neji Hyuuga showing evil death glares. That was all anyone needed to see to know 'back the hell off!' You did not have to tell them twice. They weren't fools, they valued life and decided to back up slowly and continue what they were doing.
"Never thought I'd say this but thank God for those guys being the most feared people on the face of the Earth." Naruto said as he walked back to open up the door. The door knob didn't move just like before. "Oh yeah I'm locked out." He said remembering. "Guess I should just…."
"Looks like Naruto's giving up." Ino said as she peered threw the shades again. "Huh! Hey, he's actually walking away!" Ino said feeling upset that Naruto wasn't going to even try to get in anymore. "And I was so close to him begging." She said still watching him walk away. Hinata quickly budged Ino so she could see if she was telling the truth about Naruto.
"He is walking away." She confirmed. "But…wear is he going to?"
"Looks like back to our cabin." Shikamaru said from over Hinata. She didn't even hear him but Shikamaru walked over to her and Ino to look out the window too. It was then that she realized how tall Shikamaru really had become.
As soon as Shikamaru said that Hinata ran back behind the nurse's desk and began to go threw the suitcases that were there.
"Hinata?" Tenten asked. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to find my clothes so I can go up with Naruto." She said not taking her eyes off of the items in the suitcases. "ah-HA! Got it. Wow, Temari and Livvy did a good job at picking cute clothes for us to wear." Hinata said as she took her stuff to the other room. "Don't come in!" she yelled as she shut the door behind her.
"Girls." Sasuke and Shikamaru said as they both sat back down.
"Naruto sure has Hinata doing some crazy things lately." Tenten said taking a seat.
"What do you mean?" Neji asked.
"Well, she has a LOT more spring in her step." Sakura pointed out.
"She sure does." Ino agreed.
"She's more determined about the things she does. Basketball is a good example." Tenten said.
"That's true. She wanted to show Naruto how good she was at it." Sakura agreed.
"She's also coordinating her clothes more offend. Even in the two weeks we hadn't seen you guys she was always trying to find the cutest thing to wear and didn't want to wear it twice." Ino said.
"Just a minute ago is a good example of that." Tenten agreed.
"Wow." Was all Sasuke could say being stunned at the effects that Naruto, his over hyper friend, had on his old friend Hinata, the shy little girl. "You mean that baka has been doing that kind of stuff to Hinata. Who'da guest it?"
"She's been doing the same thing to him too." Shikamaru said.
"Really?" Ino and Sakura asked at once.
"Sure. The only reason Naruto is even going to this camp is because our school demanded that he go here to straighten out." Said Shikamaru. "He'd always pull pranks and do poorly in school so they said if he wanted to go back he would have to come here and straighten out."
"And Hinata comes in????" Ino asked.
"Well he only started to act better after meeting Hinata for the first time." Shikamaru continued. "He said something about becoming better at sports so he could impress her, and the only way for him to do that was to quit the funny stuff."
"Hmp, do you remember him saying at my house before we even left how 'Good luck to them. No one on EARTH could make me stop acting up.'? Sasuke laughed.
"Yeah." Neji smirked. "You know what, I believed him too."
"Yeah, I did too." Sasuke admitted. "But then he met Hinata. I'm sure no one saw that coming."
"AW, that's so cute!" Tenten said. "They both changed each other!"
"For the better I hope." Ino said.
"Well it definitely wasn't for the worse." Said Sakura. "I think they make the cutest little couple." She said with a sigh.
"You say it wasn't for the worse, but what if Hinata now only focuses on impressing Naruto instead of more important things?" Neji asked. "I think Hinata needs someone to talk the common sense back into her that Naruto knocked out."
"Oh come on Neji." Tenten said. "So are you going to be the one to give her a 'stern talking to'?" she asked with a laugh.
"Yes, when she comes back out here." Neji said planting his feet. Tenten let out a sigh.
"Typical Neji." she said.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" he asked her as he raised an eyebrow in her direction.
"Why don't you just leave the poor girl alone? She's doing fine with Naruto. I mean she's changed, but if you couldn't even tell she's changed then it's like she never changed."
"Speaking of getting changed, Hinata sure has been taking a while." Sakura said looking at the door.
"Probably doing her hair." Neji said acting like he knew.
(Knock Knock Knock) "Hinata you almost done in there?" Sakura asked.
There was no answer.
"Want help with your hair?" Ino asked getting closer to the door.
"Still no answer?" Tenten asked standing up and pushing her chair back.
Shikamaru and Sasuke grew suspicious and Neji then walked up the door himself to open it up.
"Neji!" all three girls yelled as they stopped him.
"What?" he asked completely confused.
"You can walk in on her. SHE'S GETTING DRESSED!" Ino yelled.
"Hold you horses Neji," Tenten said. "I'll go in." Tenten slowly opened the door hoping to see Hinata already dressed but to utter and complete surprise she noticed something she'd never expected from Hinata. "HUH!"
"What is it?" Neji asked not trying to move in to the room but was restricted by Ino and Sakura.
"Hinata's gone!" Tenten said pointing into the room.
Now Neji, Sakura, and Ino went into the room to see what Tenten was pointing at.
An open window.
"You see that Neji!" Ino yelled as she hit him on the back of the head. "You got her to run away to Naruto."
"How is this all my fault?" Neji asked like she was crazy.
"She probably heard you say that you were going to give her the third degree about Naruto." Sakura said. "Way to go."
"Yup, that's probably what happened." Tenten agreed.
"In a way this proves how Hinata has changed more because of Naruto." Ino pointed out.
"INO, not helping!" Sakura hissed.
"hehe, sorry!" She said.
"Neji! Where are you going?" Tenten asked watching him head for the front door.
"To get Hinata." He put simply.
"Then you might want to get your clothes on first." Ino pointed out.
Neji stopped dead in his tracks and looked down at what he was wearing. Yeah, it would probably be a good idea for him to get dressed out of that gown and into the clothes he was given last night. He walked back over to the room to go to his bed and get his clothes but found that his pants were not there.
'Great.' He thought as he looked around for his pants.
"Looking for these?!" Ino asked as she stood by the door holding Neji's pants. Sakura and Tenten were right behind her holding up Sasuke's, Shikamaru's, and Naruto's pants so he couldn't use them.
"So we have to do this the hard way." He said out loud as he walked towards them.
Hinata was now at Naruto's cabin, and it wasn't hard to find since she remembered that it was furthest back just like her own cabin. She didn't bother to knock on the door, instead she walked right in hoping Naruto would be there. To her dismay he wasn't anywhere in plain sight but she could hear where he was.
'Oh great, he's in the shower!' she thought thinking that this whole thing was a bad idea. Hinata looked around the room remembering it from such a long time ago. It seemed like years since she's been in it, but it hadn't changed within the past two weeks.
'Well all the cards are gone.' She smirked looking down at the floor with no cards. She began to walk along the room and was headed for their kitchen. 'But duh, I mean that was weeks ago! The guys aren't that lazy.' She thought as she entered the kitchen.
Hinata's eyes shot wide open when and her jaw practically hit the floor when she saw the most disturbing sight of all.
A pile of dirty dishes that almost reached the ceiling. The dishes weren't just in the sink, if there was even that anymore, but they were all over on the counters too.
'How do they have so many dishes?' Hinata asked herself as she went closer to them. She gave one plate a poke and then she tried to pull it out.
"Oh my God, it's stuck!" she said as she tried to pull it out. "This is crazy, where is there cleaning detergent?" Hinata looked around and then found a huge bottle of cascade and dawn unopened under the sink. "I don't want to clean this….monster, but if I don't nobody will!"
Hinata didn't have to roll up her sleeves since she had short sleeves on. She did put her long hair up in a ponytail and stretched her arms out ready to attack.
"Here I go!" she said as she started with the dishes that weren't at all stuck to the pile just quite yet.
Naruto was in the shower trying to make sure that he didn't smell weird considering he hadn't taken one for a whole two days. He decided to take an extra long one to make up for lost times. The water was nice and hot right when he got in and it stayed at the nice temperature even at that moment. The aroma of his shampoo was filling the entire bathroom quite nicely. Naruto even used the body wash that was in there too. Now that he was clean he didn't want to leave the hot water just yet. He wondered if that would even be possible for him to do.
'Wait a minute. The water feels a little bit cooler.' He thought to himself as he stared up at the shower head giving him the water. He noticed how there wasn't that much steam coming out from it anymore. He shook that feeling off and continued to enjoy whatever warmth the water would give him.
Nine minutes later Naruto thought that maybe he should use his Axe body wash again since the water probably washed it all off. Again the entire bathroom was filled with its strong aroma.
'Now the water doesn't feel hot at all!' Naruto thought as he noticed no steam anywhere.
"Wait a second…..COLD!" Naruto yelled as he tried to avoid the now ice cold water that was coming out of the shower head. He tripped on himself and fell out of the shower with a hard thud.
"Huh! I hope Naruto's okay." Hinata said hearing a loud noise from upstairs. She was doing a pretty good job with the dishes and was doing it at an amazing speed. She actually had her hands in the sink and she made sure the water was extremely hot. Not just so her hands were warm, even though they were, the dishes were so stuck together that they need to be separated with not just soap but steam. "The guys better appreciate this!" she said as she pulled apart two plates that were stuck together. When they finally separated Hinata noticed they were stuck together with what looked like to be green slime. "What the heck is this?" she asked out loud as she tried to figure what the guys had eaten that was green. "I think I'm going to be sick." She said as she began to scrub all the stuff off of the plates.
Naruto was now getting his clothes back on but he was doing it rather quickly since he was pissed that someone flushed the downstairs toilet, which is what he figured since that's how the water got cold on him.
"I bet it was Sasuke!" he growled as he pulled up his pants. "I'm going to kill him!" he growled again as he grabbed his shirt and ran out of the bathroom with his hair still dripping like crazy. He didn't have time to dry his head, only his body, since he had killing intent written all over him. He then decided right as he reached the stairs that he needed to take this very slowly. 'A sneak attack.' He thought. He walked down the steps slowly and skipped the ones he knew that squeaked. He looked around the room but saw no one, but then he heard someone in the kitchen.
"Sasuke." He whispered evilly as he continued to walk across the floor. Naruto slowly made his way to the kitchen entrance and took the quickest glance to see who was in it. He saw a blur of dark hair and knew it was Sasuke. Naruto stuck his shirt in the back of his pants so his hands were free to tackle Sasuke to the ground.
'On the count of three….one….two…..THREE!'
Neji walked to his cabin while mumbling some profound words. The girls were trying to give Hinata a chance to get to Naruto before Neji ruined it for her. They all took the pants and locked Neji in the nurse's back room where they all had slept. He banged on the door so hard that he almost broke it so the girls unlocked it and let him out but they had already hid all the pants. Sasuke and Shikamaru weren't aloud to tell him where they were since Sakura and Ino threatened them in a way only a girl can threaten. Neji tore the place up in search for some pants but he couldn't find them anywhere.
"You'll never find them!" Tenten laughed. As soon as she did Neji gave her a frustrated look, and that's when he realized something.
"You're wearing them!" he yelled as he pointed to the long black pants that was coming out from under her robe. Tenten sweat dropped and sat down at the table with Ino and Sakura.
"You can't do anything about!" she yelled.
"If you even touch us it'll look like rape!" Ino laughed.
Sasuke and Shikamaru stared and watched the scene before them blankly. They were both pretty impressed with the girls and their idea about wearing the pants so Neji wouldn't find them. Plan B was if he did find them it wouldn't matter because they would be wearing them, and there was no way Neji Hyuuga was about to rip the pants off of one of the girls. Neji looked super frustrated, his face turned so red with anger it looked like smoke was going to shoot out of his ears. He then gathered his Hyuuga calm and his face began to relax once again.
"So, we ARE doing this the hard way." He said walking to the suitcases behind the nurse's desk.
"Where's he going?" Ino asked as she tried to watch Neji's every movement. Neji stood up holding a pair of pants from one of the suitcases. He didn't know which girl it belonged to but he walked over to the nurse's desk to grab a pair of….
"Neji what are you doing with those Scissors?" Sakura asked worriedly.
"And my pants?" Tenten asked.
"Give me my pants or I cut these to shreds." He threatened while holding the scissors very close to the pants.
"OKAY!" Tenten yelled as she stood up and pulled the pants off of her. She threw them over to Neji knowing he would throw hers right back, which he did. Neji put them on right there and then and went to the back room to grab a sweatshirt.
So here he was cursing at the girls for stalling for Hinata who was about to get a long lecture.
"Neji, WAIT UP!" yelled Tenten as she chased after him. Neji stopped walking and waited for Tenten to catch up to him. A lot of guys who saw Tenten, a girl, stopped walking just to watch her run. Once they saw she was running the Neji Hyuuga they continued to do what they were doing but now were doing it with a whistle.
"Sorry about all that." Tenten said as they both continued to walk. Neji almost didn't hear her since he wasn't really paying attention. He was just thinking of how fast she was to get dressed.
"..Oh, it's fine no problem." He said forgetting about everything that had just happened. Neji looked at Tenten to see her smiling face. He saw how she had some bandages on her forehead and she was still standing. He returned her smile with a faint one and they both walked up quietly to his cabin. Neither of them had to talk but they were both happy with that. A quiet walk that needed no words at all to tell the other how the other was feeling.
"Hey Neji," Tenten almost whispered. "Do you know what's so fragile that even its own name could break it?" she asked.
"Is this a riddle?" he asked. Tenten nodded. Neji was pretty good at these sort of things so he thought about it for the rest of the walk to his cabin. Once they had almost reached the door he decided to finally give up.
"What's the answer?"
"Silence." She whispered in a gigglely way. Neji smirked showing her that that was a pretty clever riddle.
Before anymore words were spoken something else broke the silence.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yelled the voice of Hinata.
"Hinata!" both Neji and Tenten yelled as they ran up to open the door.
