TADA! at the end of the stroy is an important note you should check out
It was the fifth of August in the mid afternoon when Ino was putting her final touches on her clay pot. She had formed it yesterday and was now painting it. Hinata on the other hand had asked her councilor if she could finish painting her picture since she was satisfied with her pot.
"But I thought you were done?" The councilor had asked.
"Yeah, but lately I got some inspiration to add more." Hinata had told her.
"Very well, just take what you need and go to the corner of the room."
Ino was now finished painting her pot and she really took it to the next level. She painted the entire thing white and added some cherry blossoms. After it was dry she put a glaze over it giving it that extra glossy look.
"Hinata! You done yet?" Ino yelled across the room.
"YES!" she said as she put her brush down.
'I wonder what she did to make it different.' Ino thought as she walked over to Hinata. 'I liked her dark sky with a hill, why would she want to change it?'
"HUH!"
Ino saw Hinata's painting and was very impressed with her skill. She made the picture look so real and what she added in must have been from experience. What Ino was looking at was the dark sky that was now lit up with some fireworks. Watching these fireworks was a boy and girl who were holding hands staring at the vivid colors.
"That is….is that you and Naruto?" Ino asked slyly.
Hinata blushed a little. "No, but it was inspired by us. And this is how it looked from where we were too, just like this."
"It looks sooooo romantic." Ino sighed.
Hinata and Ino were washing their brushes which everyone had already done. The cabin now had no one in it except Ino, Hinata, and the councilor who was in the closet. Ino and Hinata both knew that this was their chance to get what they needed. Ino looked at Hinata and Hinata nodded her head. Ino walked over to her purse and then went over to the counter. On the counter was a bunch of tubes full of liquid glitter. She stuffed her purse with them and snapped it shut. She then, after making sure her purse was secure, threw it to Hinata who caught it and stuck it on her arm. Just then the councilor came out of the supply closet and looked right at Ino.
"You still here?" she asked.
"Yeah sorry," Ino told her as she walked to the door where Hinata and her bag were. "Just going to the door now. Thank you SO much for being our art teacher!"
"Yeah thank you!" Hinata added.
"No problem, I'm just glad you two were in my class. You both must be my best students!"
"Thanks!" they both yelled as they walked out of the cabin.
Once they were out of ear shot they let out a hard breath that they both had been holding.
"I'm glad we pulled it off." Hinata told Ino. "But now after she said that I feel just terrible."
"Hey, what we're doing is all in the name of art. She would be proud of us." Ino tried to convince her. It wasn't working. "Oh who cares!" Ino exasperated. "See you at the cabin."
Ino then took a turn and went in a different direction then Hinata. Hinata watched her walk away for a while and then looked towards the way she had to go when she realized something.
'I HAVE INO'S PURSE!' she looked at her right shoulder to see it still there. 'I guess now they'll just have to wait after my debaters meeting…..and singing club.' She shrugged as she made it to her destination.
Sakura was waiting outside for Tenten to come out of wrestling. She was leaning against the building looking up at the nice blue sky and feeling the, much appreciated, cold wind. It was pretty hot out but not so hot that you would be sweating unless you were working out outside. Sakura just continued to stare up blankly at the sky as she thought about Sasuke. She never thought of him as "Sasuke Uchiha" hottest guy in existence, not to mention one of the richest, but only saw him for who he was. She liked him and liked how sweet he was towards her, not to mention how intense he could get with her. She closed her eyes and began to smile as she thought about him holding her and kissing her as if he was about to die and would never see her again. She missed him so much and knew that when summer was over she would miss him even more. Sakura opened up her eyes slowly in sadness as she began to think of something that was troubling her mind these past few days.
'I really do like Sasuke and I don't know how he feels about me, but……..I just don't want to stop seeing him forever without him knowing how I really feel about him. He may not even like me….this could be a summer fling for him or something…it's not like I expect him to say 'yes Sakura, I like you too.' But I just want him to feel a little something for me. I mean he has told me that he does like me as a friend already, and that he's never met a girl like me before. Oh Wait! What about the time we held hands as we looked for Asuma that one time during Hinata's little head concussion? Aw I remember he kept squeezing my hand, which was SO cute!' Sakura looked down at her right hand which Sasuke held the time before. 'And then….I kissed him…HUH after he put his arm around me cause I looked COLD! He has got to like me a little bit if he did that! Right?...aw…maybe….NO…aw come ON Sakura!' she mentally yelled at herself. She hit the back of her head against the wall she was leaning on several times in frustration. 'I know some guys can be fakes but Sasuke doesn't seem to be one…..or do I just think that because I want it to be true? What am I….Hinata! She was friends with him and she wouldn't be if he was a creep! Although that was a long time ago. I'll ask her for her advice. She always has good advice anyways, she should be able to help me sort all of this out.'
Sakura looked up at the sky again. She smiled and just took in her surroundings. It was a real pretty day and she was so busy thinking about Sasuke to even appreciate it. She didn't want him on her mind until she talked about it with Hinata. Now she only wanted to focus on waiting for Tenten who had become the new thing Sakura was thinking about.
'I'm going to miss her so much. She was like another sister to us all. She's pretty cool and really knows how to take care of herself. She's lucky that Neji is lives so close to her, now she can see him whenever she wants. She's even close to Sasuke so now I envy her even more! Great! Now this whole thing went right back to Sasuke. I really need to get him off of my mind. Think Sakura, think of something else!'
Tenten was now angrily getting her clothes back on in the girls' shower in the wrestling gym. She was pretty pissed off since a few minutes ago, while she was taking her shower, someone kept hitting the wall outside repeatedly so that her shampoo and conditioner, that was placed over her head on a ledge, would fall over and hit her on the head. It hurt like the dickens, and now she felt a bump forming where they both had landed.
'In the same spot!' she kept thinking. 'How could they have landed in the very same spot?! It's bad enough that happened but they made me land on my ass too! Oh I could kill someone right now, oh I really could!'
Tenten was now fully dressed and she had already packed her stuff so she picked up her bag and left the locker room area where everyone avoided her path. Her hair was in two rather sloppy buns and they were still dripping wet since she was too mad to dry her hair.
She turned a corner and opened up the doors to outside as the sun hit her hard in her right eye that had been stung by a lot of soap. A cool breeze went for her head and sent a shiver down her entire body since her hair was so wet. She turned to her left to see Sakura banging the back of her head against the wall in some sort of frustration.
'She looks like she's having a tough time.' Tenten gathered as she looked at Sakura and then at the wall she was hitting. Tenten then realized that Sakura was hitting her head against the wall where the showers were.
"Sakura how long have you been hitting your head like that?" Tenten asked surprising her friend who didn't see her come out.
"Oh…ow…Hey Tenten! I guess a short while, more like on and off I guess. I'm just trying to figure things out in my head but it isn't working so well!" she laughed.
Tenten let out a short laugh. She really didn't care anymore if it was Sakura's fault or not, she was just happy to see her friend begin to smile since it looked like she was having such a rough time. Sakura then walked over to Tenten and they began to walk to their cabin.
"So why didn't you dry your hair?" Sakura asked.
"No time. Don't worry, I'll just do it when we get back to our cabin." Tenten told her.
"Oh speaking of hair we'll have to talk about the layout of yours!" Sakura told her as she began to get giddy.
"The layout? Sakura you're only doing my hair, we're not building a foundation or something."
"Come on Tenten, these things need to be planned you know. I was thinking some volume in your hair, with like big curls or something at the ends. What say you?"
Tenten giggled a little. "Sounds okay to me, just do whatever you want. But I ask you one thing and that is PLEASE don't make me look like a porcelain doll."
"Your wish is my command. Oh by the way!" Sakura said as she went into her purse that was slung over her shoulder. "I got this hair gel for Lee, check it out."
Tenten took the bottle and read what it said in bold print.
"Extra EXTRA Hold for even those tough unruly hairs. I hope this is all for Rock Lee."
"That's what the EXTRA part is for." Sakura told her. "I thought this would help with however you were going to do his hair."
"Oh no, this'll work just fine." Tenten said with a little evil twinkle in her eye. She held the bottle up to the sunlight to see the green in the bottle flicker around. "Sakura…" Tenten said on a sadder note. She brought the bottle down low again and began to look down at the ground. "Can I tell you something?"
"Sure Tenten, what is it?" Sakura asked concerned.
"I want….to look beautiful." She told her.
"But Tenten, you are. Why would you say that?" Sakura asked completely confused.
"No I mean, you know for the dance. I want to be beautiful, and don't lie and say that I am. You see I'm known as the tomboy and tomorrow night I want to be seen as the most gorgeous girl in the room. Just this once, can you do that for me?"
"Tenten…..sure." Sakura said giving her a warm smile. "You'll look amazing, I swear. But it won't take much work, you're already beautiful!"
Tenten looked up at Sakura, and then she began to smile at her. She nudged her in the side.
"Thanks Sakura!" she told her.
Sakura smiled at her and they continued to walk.
"Sooo, how are you going to do Lee's hair?" Sakura asked curious.
"It's a secret!" Tenten giggled.
At Camp Shinobi a lot of the guys were decorating the hall for their dance that was tomorrow night. Shikamaru and Sasuke were up on ladders handing up red and silver streamers but Sasuke was having a hard time balancing himself on the ladder while getting his streamers up. He looked over at Shikamaru's back to see him putting them up with no problem, no problem at all! Sasuke nearly dropped his red streamer six times while he already dropped his silver streamer three times.
"OUCH!" yelled the guy who was holding Sasuke's ladder.
"Well that makes four times." Sasuke told himself. "Sorry." He yelled. The guy rubbed his head as he threw up the silver streamer, again.
"Man never have I been more grateful to be under Shikamaru then Sasuke." Kiba said as he continued to hold the ladder. 'Those streamers are huge and must weigh a ton!'
"And never should you repeat what you just said." Sasuke told him completely grossed out that Kiba wouldn't watch his wording.
Kiba went wide eyed and looked around to see if anyone else had noticed but to his luck it only seemed like the only other person who heard was the guy holding Sasuke's ladder.
"Kiba you wanna trade?" The guy asked. "I'd rather be under Shika…."
"DON'T even finish that sentence!" Shikamaru warned as he yelled down to Kiba and the other guy.
Sasuke watched Shikamaru go back to his work and wondered how he was doing it so well without struggling.
"Hey Shikamaru." Sasuke called. Shikamaru turned his head around to look at Sasuke.
"Yeah?"
"How…are you doing this?" Sasuke asked almost ashamed that he had to. Shikamaru smirked.
"I was wondering when you were going to ask me for help, I mean look at your side. It looks like a complete mess." Shikamaru stated.
"So then why didn't you stop me and just tell me what to do?" he asked frustrated.
"What? And miss a chance when Sasuke Uchiha asked me for help? Yeah right." Shikamaru laughed. Sasuke smirked and Shikamaru turned his whole body around to show Sasuke what he was doing. Sasuke's eyes went wide at seeing how Shikamaru was hanging his streamers. The red streamer was around his left arm while the silver was on his right. "If you just put them on your arms like this then you won't hafta' try to hold them both at once. Now your hands are free and you can just pull them," he demonstrated as he pulled the red streamer with his right hand. "Now it's easier to wrap around."
"Damn that's clever." Sasuke said. He then put his streamers around his arms too and found it easier then holding them, and worrying about his balance, and putting them up. "Thanks Shikamaru." Sasuke said as he went back to work.
"Thank you Shikamaru!" yelled the guy who was holding Sasuke's ladder.
The doors opened up with Naruto coming in; the sun blaring right behind him. He went right to the ladders to where he saw his two friends, and Kiba, who was like a friend now.
"Hey guys, whatcha' doing?" Naruto asked as he cranked his head back to look up at them.
"Ballet, what does it look like we're doing?" Sasuke asked.
"Hey I guess I need a job now too. Wonder what I should do." Naruto said as he moved his head around to find the person in charge.
"Here!" said the guy holding Sasuke's ladder. "Take my job." He said as he walked away from the ladder.
"HeY!" Sasuke yelled as he felt the ladder under him go unstable. Naruto swiftly grabbed it and kept it steady.
"Wow how long is this job really going to last?" Naruto asked real uninterested in it.
"Maybe another hour." Shikamaru said. "Sasuke's gotta' fix his streamers."
"Cram it Nara!" Sasuke hissed as he undid some of his past work.
Suddenly the doors opened up again with Yashiro walking in looking completely beat, UP! Naruto began to sneer as everyone watched him limp into the hall.
"What the heck happened to him?" Shikamaru asked as he continued to stare at Yashiro.
"..heheheee…Neji did that." Naruto said proudly.
"Really?" Sasuke asked surprised.
"Hey why do you sound so surprised? Of course Neji can do that." Naruto told them.
"I know he can do that, but why?" Sasuke asked.
"I guess it was like "unfinished business", probably had to do a lot with Tenten."
"He was eyeballing Tenten at the swimming race." Shikamaru said in a 'come to think of it' way.
"He really deserved it." Sasuke said as he worked on his streamers. "He acts like he likes Tenten, then because she wrestles she disappears of the guy's radar, but once he sees her in a bikini BOOM! She's right back on it again."
"He's giving guys a bad name." Naruto said as he glared at him. "The best part is I don't think Neji is done with him yet."
"So when did Neji do that?" Kiba asked getting himself into the conversation.
"Just before I got here, at our wrestling practice. I swear to you guys, if Neji doesn't come out best student then it'll be me!"
"Wow I never thought I would hear Naruto say 'best student' and 'me' in the same sentence without 'thinks he's better then' in the middle." Shikamaru laughed. "And the best student being Sasuke." Shikamaru mumbled.
"Well this time it's true, believe it! I was one of the best in there." Naruto tried to convince them.
"Calm down Naruto," Sasuke said. "It's not like we didn't believe you."
If Naruto didn't know any better that would have sounded almost like a compliment from Sasuke. Or was it?
"So where is Neji now?" Kiba asked.
"Hey, why am I decorating?" Sasuke asked himself.
"His lacrosse is earlier since none of us have soccer today." Naruto told him.
"You had nothing else to do remember?" Shikamaru reminded him.
"…oh yeah…..damn…." Sasuke said as he continued to put up more streamers.
"Man this is such a drag." Shikamaru said out loud. "We're here just working our butts off for the stupid dance, making it all pretty, and the girls are just relaxing."
Sasuke nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah, they're probably all doing useless stuff….like how they're going to do their hair for tomorrow. They probably prep it the night before." Naruto laughed.
"Naruto knows the mind of a woman?" Sasuke asked.
"Well he has the mind of one…so it's about time that he used it." Shikamaru said.
"HEY!" Naruto yelled.
"I wouldn't be saying that what they're doing is useless Naruto." Kiba told him making Naruto confused. "I mean think if they never did any preparations! They would all be ugly rag dolls. Tell me Naruto, do you really want to be dancing with a rag doll?"
"No." he put simply.
"Exactly. So let them do what they do best." Kiba told him.
"Squeal like idiots and fry their hair." Sasuke said nonchalantly.
"And eat face wash." Naruto added as he remembered the green face masks they forced on him that one time.
"Whaat?" Shikamaru asked.
"I uh…I mean…I bet Tenten isn't doing any of that kind of stuff." Naruto said changing the subject.
"She doesn't seem like the type of person who would fuss over that kind of thing." Sasuke noted. "She looked fine at the last dance though."
"Ino said Sakura did her hair." Shikamaru said as he paused his work.
"I bet you anything all four of them are doing their hair right now." Sasuke smirked.
"Well….Hinata really might not be doing any of that. I don't think she really preps herself. She's just….perfect I guess." Naruto said thankful that Sasuke and Shikamaru were up on the ladders so they couldn't see his blush.
"Look how red your face is!" unfortunately Kiba was right next to him.
"Shuddap Kiba." Naruto mumbled as he turned his head.
"Yeah, she might not be." Sasuke said. "How bout Ino?"
"Ino is, I guarantee it." Shikamaru said knowingly. "And Sakura?"
"Is probably hogging the bathroom." Sasuke smirked.
"Can you imagine if they heard what you were all saying?" Kiba asked them.
"They'd probably kill us." Sasuke said.
"Er skin us." Naruto added.
"Or torture us in some way, like put makeup all over us and then never talk to us again." Shikamaru said.
"Yeah, it really sucks." Naruto commented. All three guys looked at him weirdly and he could feel their stares. "Oh take my word for it." He said.
"So how much longer do we have to do this Shikamaru?" Sasuke asked not even giving Naruto wearing makeup a second thought.
"Just about another hour, then Neji should be here." Shikamaru told him. "But I guess that's it for you and Naruto since you both have to go to football and hockey."
"I've never been more grateful for football." Naruto said sounding relieved.
Hinata and Ino were on the couch watching "She's The Man" on their T.V. Sakura and Tenten were just walking into the cabin as the movie got the part where Viola tries to look like a guy.
"Do you know what this part is reminding me of?" Ino said out loud as her friends shut the door behind them. "Tomorrow how we're all going to be frantically getting ready for the dance."
'For some reason I thought she would say how they're going to make me look like a girl.' Tenten thought to herself.
"Tell me about it." Sakura said as she plopped on top of Hinata. "When we were walking around everyone was doing their hair and shit."
"Still?" Hinata asked from underneath Sakura. Tenten sat on the edge of the couch as Ino began to talk.
"I can't believe everyone is freaking out about the dance. Not one person would shut up about it." Ino said.
"I mean you could almost laugh at how pathetic it is." Sakura said.
"Come on Sakura. Everyone really needs to prepare for these kinds of things. It's only one dance and one more chance to impress that summer guy!" Tenten told her.
"Well I get that…..but Tenten you were with me. They were all dramatically running around and screaming." Sakura told her as she rolled off Hinata and onto the floor.
"OH! I thought you meant preparing for something the night before was dumb. You're right what everyone outside is doing is crazy." Tenten emphasized. "That one girl was like 'Can I borrow those shoes you wore last time!' Tenten said trying to sound like the girl.
" 'SURE, just let me borrow your makeup!'" Sakura said imitating the other girl.
"I bet it's like a jungle out there!" said Ino.
"It is, but tomorrow look out." Sakura told her.
"It'll be nonstop cat fights. Just like the first dance." Hinata pointed out.
"Actually almost like the first dance." Tenten pointed out.
"Elaborate." Sakura said.
"Well the first dance we were aloud to show up within a certain hour. We had all the time in the world to get ready. Now we have to be ready so we can get on a bus and if we miss it then we're not aloud to go to the dance."
"HUH!" All three girls gasped as they jumped to their feet.
"So we can't simply take our time tomorrow, we'll have to use our time wisely." Tenten told them.
"No worries." Sakura said.
"Yeah, I don't know why I overreacted when I heard that." Hinata said as she took her seat again.
"I guarantee we'll be fine." Ino assured.
They all sat back down on the couch calm and sure of themselves again. They sat and watched the movie for about fifteen more minutes when Ino stood up.
"Well I guess I'll go prep my hair for tomorrow!" she told them.
"Hold on I call dibs on the bathroom!" Sakura yelled as she jumped back to her feet.
"You both need to stop before you get into it again!" Hinata quickly warned. "Besides aren't you forgetting something?"
"Oh yeah!" Tenten said remembering.
"I can't believe we forgot." Sakura said as she and Ino both rubbed the back of their heads.
"I'm going to make the call now." Hinata said as she whipped her cell phone out. All of the girls' eyes lit up with joy! "Now's just as good a time as any."
Her fingers pressed a series of buttons and then her phone began to buzz.
"I'll go grab them out of your trunk!" Tenten called as she ran up the stairs.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZ
"I'm grabbing the walkie talkies!" Ino cheered as she ran up right behind her.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZ
"I figured out how to hook up the printer!" Sakura yelled as she ran up right behind Ino and Tenten.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZ
"Hello?" asked a shaky male voice that was coming from the other line.
Neji and Shikamaru were done decorating the hall and were now putting the extra odds and ends away into boxes. Neji was just closing up a box while Shikamaru was stuffing more streamers into his.
"Shikamaru I'm sure they want their stuff put away nicer then that." Neji told him.
"Well if they did then they should have done it them selves." He said as he continued to stuff the box with streamers. Just then Kiba walked over towards them looking like a nervous wreck. He looked around under boxes and decorations for something.
"Kiba?" Neji asked as he looked up at him cock eyed.
"What's up with you?" Shikamaru asked as he stopped his stuffing to watch Kiba look around frantically.
"Nothing….i'm just….you know nothing." He said as he continued to go around the entirely decorated hall.
"Wow boys!" came the voice of Iruka who had just seen the hall for the first time. "Not bad at all. The girls will be impressed with this. It looks better then theirs that sure is true."
"For all the effort we put into it it better." Shikamaru told Neji.
"OUCH!" (THUD)
Everyone looked over towards where two people had walked into each other. Konohamaru was on top of Kiba and they both looked a little dizzy. The awkwardness of the position made it hard for everyone to look away, Shikamaru for one wished he had his cell phone on him so he could take a picture for blackmail. Thankfully Neji was already doing just that.
"We only have a week of camp left." Neji said as he showed Shikamaru his picture. "Better make good use of this picture while I can." He said as he saved the picture.
"ARGH…KONOHAMARU!" Kiba yelled. "GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!"
"woOOOAH!" Konohamaru yelled as Kiba stood up. "Watch it Skitz!" he yelled at him. "What are you looking for anyways?"
"None of your business!" Kiba yelled as he walked out of the hall.
Neji and Shikamaru heard Kiba and Konohamaru's argument and then realized that Konohamaru was right. Kiba was looking for something, that much they already new. What they were analyzing now was how he was reacting.
"His actions were a little off." Said Neji giving Shikamaru his observations. "He was looking for something, but at the same time it was as if he was being hunted down as well."
"Yeah, the guy was totally shaken." Shikamaru noted as he finished stuffing his box up with streamers.
"I see you're done Shikamaru." Iruka sensei said as he walked over. "I wish all these boys were as fast as you."
'Oh no you don't.' Neji thought.
"Here I'll take that box from you." Iruka told him as he picked up the light box. "Neji once you're done you can just put it with the others over by the door." He said walking away towards the doors. Neji looked at Shikamaru who was looking pretty proud of himself at that moment.
"Don't get too cocky." Neji told him. "You cheated. They're not going to like that."
"What they don't know won't hurt them." Shikamaru's blunt response was. Neji hmpd' and continued to do his job the right way when Kiba came back into the hall.
"Look at him. He's still doing something weird." Shikamaru noted.
"So what. If you want to know so bad why not just ask him?" Neji asked not looking up from his work. Shikamaru shrugged at his response and thought about his idea for awhile.
"Man…such a drag, but I guess this is going to bother me for awhile." Kiba was going by them still looking for whatever. "Yo Kiba!" Shikamaru called making Kiba take an automatic stop. "You looking for something? What's wrong with you?"
"Me? O..Oh..ummmm." Kiba didn't really know what to say, and then Iruka walked behind them all with another box. "Nothing! I'm not looking for anything!" he obviously lied as he made his way away from Shikamaru and Neji.
"That was weird." Neji commented as he finished packing his box. "Then again, we are talking about Kiba. He's just as chaotic as Naruto."
"You need help carrying that box?" Shikamaru asked as he noticed Neji struggle with it. Neji only glared at him as he made it look like carrying the box was no big deal. "Fine." Shikamaru shrugged as they both walked over to Iruka who was on the floor and being helped up by Konohamaru.
"Seriously Konohamaru it was just an accident, just be careful the next time." Iruka laughed.
"Yeah, you know me!" Konohamaru laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head. "Excuse me sensei but I have to leave now." Konohamaru said as he bowed and walked out of the building. "Oh! Neji, Shikamaru, I see you're done now."
Neji placed the box with all the others.
"This place sure does clean up nicely. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's a thousand times better then the girls dancing hall." Iruka said as he took in the entire room.
"huh….can we go now?" Shikamaru asked.
"Oh of course! Thanks boys for your help!" Iruka smiled as he walked over to where a group of senseis were.
Neji and Shikamaru both walked out of the building and tiredly went towards their cabin. The walk was taking some time making them even more tired. Shikamaru didn't have a problem showing how tired he was but all Neji would do is pant heavily with a little bit of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Hmp, getting tired eh Hyuuga?" Shikamaru asked him.
"It's hot out, Nara, of course I'm going to sweat." Neji told him.
"Well I know the first thing I'm doing when I get back to the cabin." Shikamaru said imagining his favorite chair. "I'm kicking back."
"I'm taking a bath when we get back. A nice…long one." Neji told him.
Neji then began to imagine a warm bath and how nice it would feel when he got there. His thoughts were then interrupted when Shikamaru said his name.
"Neji. Check it out. Konohamaru is on his cell phone." He said as they both looked at Konohamaru talking on his phone. "Lucky brat. I never got a phone till I was much older then he is."
"Well he is the Hokage's grandson." Neji pointed out. Shikamaru's eyes widened. "So I'm sure his family wants to make sure he's doing alright."
"How'd you know that?" Shikamaru asked.
Neji didn't respond. He really didn't feel like talking anymore.
'Pft, man I hate it when my friends get like that. Talk about rude.' Shikamaru thought as they continued to walk to their cabin in silence.
It was now sun setting at the girl's camp and it was almost emotional for all of them, especially for the councilors, since this was the last time they would all be together like this. All the girls and their councilors were all talking and remembering the good times they had this summer at camp. A lot of them were drinking red punch that was provided along side the auditorium on tables that were self serve. The main attention was in the front of the room in front of the stage where a good majority of the girls were listening to Asuma talk on and on about his good old days when he was young like them and in camp. He had them hanging on his every word, but of course it was do to the fact that he was the only guy in the camp making him the god of the place. It did help though that he was pretty hot.
Kurenai laughed at the situation and whenever he said something that sounded so farfetched, even though the girls took it as fact, she would tell the person nearest her "Bull!" She was currently walking over towards Ino, Hinata, Sakura, and Tenten who were all sitting on the arms and tops of the chairs drinking punch and talking about the summer.
"…and there was an actual BEAR in the kitchen. It was a good thing that I always go to the kitchen for a mid night snack or else there would have been no food for anyone the next day!" Asuma said as he continued to shovel his bull to all the girls.
"Hello girls." Kurenai said as she approached them all. "Not interested in Asuma's stories?"
"Everything Asuma says sounds a little over exaggerated." Ino told her.
"And he's only his bear story; just you wait till he tells the story about the ten foot long shark in the water." Kurenai giggled.
"So he's said these stories before?" Tenten asked.
"Every summer he goes off about them. They always seem to change every time I hear them." She told them as she looked over at Asuma. "He's a storyteller, it's kind of cute how he goes off." She said raising her eyes back to them. They were all smirking at her making her blush. "What is it?" she asked.
"Are you two going out yet?" Hinata asked.
"Hinata!" Kurenai yelled surprised.
"Well you both should get on that." Tenten said as Kurenai took a sip of her punch. She spat it right back into her cup at hearing Tenten's words.
"Tenten's right sensei, you should get him while you're both still young." Ino told her. "Otherwise you'll both be old and dieing before you even go out on your first date!"
Ino's words were like knives at Kurenai's heart. Ino was right about them getting older and she hadn't even made her move on him yet. She always questioned if he even liked her, and maybe he did, but she didn't know for sure.
"Well I….excuse me girls. I need to do some more paperwork." Kurenai said as she walked away from them to the doors.
"Way to go Ino." Sakura growled. "Now she probably feels all horrible. You sure know how to help out when it comes to the affairs of the heart!"
"Hey I'm good at this kind of thing, forehead, just you wait and watch!" Ino told her.
"Well I hope Kurenai is okay. She seemed like she was in a daze when she left." Hinata noted as she watched her leave to auditorium.
"Don't worry about her you guys." Ino told them. "Now she's thinking about how right I am and how she's getting old and will die alone and…"
"INO!" They all yelled. Ino coward and covered her ears.
"Hold up you guys!" she yelled back. "That was only act one. Now it's time for the lover to enter the stage."
"…..and there was this SHARK! It must have been TWENTY FEET LONG!" Asuma yelled as he spread his arms out for further exaggeration.
"Everyone yell goodbye to Kurenai when the door shuts behind her…JUST DO IT!" In told them as they all watched Kurenai open the door. It shut slowly and when it did they all yelled.
"Bye Kurenai!" the four of them shouted and waved. They all went back to giggling and laughing.
"If that didn't get Asuma's attention then I don't know what will." Ino whispered to them. "Hopefully he comes over to us and then we'll know for sure!"
"No what?" Tenten asked.
(sigh) "You are so naïve Tenten. If he comes over it means he likes Kurenai and wants to know where she's goi-.."
"Where is Kurenai heading to?" Asuma asked as he stood behind where Ino was sitting.
"Asuma!" Ino said shocked as she also winked towards Tenten. "How could you make Kurenai work so hard?" she asked him.
"…What?" he asked confused.
"We're all in here having a good time while she's doing paperwork. You're working her overtime!"
"She looked like she needed a vacation!" Hinata commented.
"I bet she can't wait till camp is over so she can get herself out of here!" Tenten chimed in.
Asuma's eyes grew wide at their words. Kurenai wanting to leave this place was killing him. He wouldn't get to see her for another year and she would be leaving in only three days since councilors had to stay an extra day.
"Uhhhh, if you ladies could excuse me. There's something I need to take care of!" he said as he began to head for the doors.
"Tell Kurenai we said hi!" Ino teased which made Asuma stop walking and blush.
"Wha…what makes you think I'm going to see her?" he asked.
All the girls only giggled and watched him stare at them very confusingly. He walked away and their laughter began to seize.
"You sure are good at this kind of stuff Ino." Sakura admitted.
"When it comes to the heart…beLIEVE me…I know what I'm doing." Ino told them as Asuma walked out of the building and someone else walked in.
"You guys….look at that!" Ino said as if she was staring at a ghost. The girls all turned around to see Kin walking in the room wearing a black bandanna over all her hair that was tucked inside all of it.
"Look how bad that looks." Sakura said commenting on her hair. "Doesn't she know you're supposed to leave some your hair out of it?"
"She needs hair help and fast!" said Tenten as she continued to watch her.
'Coming from the girl who wears buns every day of her life.' Hinata secretly thought to herself.
"Wonder if she's just having a bad hair day." Said Ino. "I mean she can't actually think that that looks good right?"
"OH. MY. GOSH!" Hinata yelled as she jumped to her feet. "What if. It's because. You know!"
"Hinata….what?" Sakura asked.
"Her hair! What if it's because of the bleach in her hair gel?"
"HUH!" all the girls gasped.
"THAT'S IT! THAT'S GOT TO BE IT!" Sakura yelled freaking out.
"I just got to know!" Ino yelled practically foaming at the mouth. "I just GOT to know."
"Know what?" Temari asked as she appeared behind Ino.
"Kin's hair!" Ino blurted out.
'NO INO! Temari can't know that we know!' Sakura thought.
'THAT PIG IS GOING TO RUIN EVERYTHING!' Sakura's inner self yelled.
"We think she's having a bad hair day since she's wearing it up like that." Hinata told Temari before Ino revealed anything to her.
"Hmmm. Well there's only one way to find out!" Temari said as she walked in the direction of Kin.
"I wonder what she's going to do." Tenten said as they all stared at her blankly.
"Knowing Temari….something very unexpected." Ino told them.
Temari approached Kin who didn't hear her coming and she tapped her on the shoulder. Kin turned around and automatically grew a scowl.
"What the hell do you want? Come to throw another clock at me?" Kin asked.
"Hmp. Just came to see how my old friend was doing." Temari lied.
"What do you think they're saying?" Sakura whispered.
"What do you really want?" Kin asked crossing her arms.
"I wanted you to cross your arms so you couldn't block me when I do this!" Temari yelled as she ripped off Kin's bandana.
"AAAH!" Kin screeched as Temari's hand ripped the bandanna off of her head.
"HUH!" the four girls along with Temari gasped at seeing her hair. Their assumptions were right. Her hair was messed up because of the new hair gel she had used. She had streaks of white all in her long black hair.
"Kin!" Ami yelled grabbing everyone's attention.
"HUH! Look at her HAIR!" yelled a girl.
"Oh my gosh! I would kill myself if it looked like THAT!" yelled another girl.
"Does she think that looks good?" yelled a girl in a group of girls who were walking up closer to see Kin.
Her hair was completely bleached from root to tip! Everyone in the auditorium was talking about it. The news about her hair had reached every person in the room faster then a forest on fire, and our four were laughing their heads off!
"SAKURA…..YOU'RE SO SMART!" Ino cheered as tears escaped her eyes.
"That prank was WEEKS ago and it's still funny!" Hinata laughed as she was falling out of her seat.
"I'm taking pictures!" Tenten cheered as she took snaps with her phone. "Thank you God for the ZOOM option!" they all laughed and watched as Kin ran out of the room.
They all continued to laugh when Hinata's cell phone began to ring. She took it out and they all stopped their laughing to see who it was. Hinata looked at her screen to see the name.
"It's K.." Tenten was cutoff when Ino slapped her hand over her mouth.
"Tenten! Don't say his name out loud." Ino warned.
"So what if she does?" Sakura asked.
"Hello! We're trying to make this all sneaky. What if the enemy hears her?"
"The enemy Ino?" Sakura asked. "Come on Hinata answer the phone."
"Hello?" Hinata asked as she flipped it open. "So you found them?"
"Awesome." Tenten said evilly as they all grew evil little grins.
"Did anyone see you?" Hinata asked. "Really?"
"What he say? What he say?" Sakura asked as she put her ear next to the phone.
"Okay, just leave them by the door alright? Oh WE'LL see." Hinata said slyly as she snapped her phone shut.
"Sa-hounded pretty raddled." Tenten laughed as she sat back in her chair.
"Oh he was." Hinata confirmed with a wink. "Do you think what we're doing to him is mean?"
"NAH!" Ino and Tenten agreed.
"So what time are we leaving?" Sakura asked.
"Leaving what?" asked the voice of Livvy who was followed by a laughing Temari.
"YEEEEUMMMMMM…..what time we're going to leave this place! AND go back to out cabin!" Tenten said as she sat up right in her seat.
"Well you should probably leave soon because it doesn't get anymore interesting then this." Livvy told them as Temari continued to howl with laughter.
"Yeah let's head back." Sakura said straightening herself up.
"Tenten! Ino! Hey!" yelled a voice.
All six girls turned around to see a girl with very short brown hair with a blue flower hair clip walk over to them while waving her arms around to grab everyone's attention. She was wearing a blue miniskirt and an almost matching jersey that has the number seven on the front and "Land of Waves Lacrosse" on the back.
"Yuki!" Ino and Tenten squealed. They all gave a huge group hug.
"Didn't even see you guys!" she said smiling. "Oh my gosh, did you see Kin's hair? I nearly died, AND I was drinking my punch when I saw it."
"That witch had it coming!" Tenten laughed.
"Highlight of my summer." Ino told her.
"I was by the doors, but I SWEAR I saw her crying when she left." Yuki laughed.
"Really?" Tenten asked. "I didn't know the witch had feelings."
"Or a heart." Ino added.
"YUKI!" yelled a frustrated voice from afar.
"Oops, I'll check you guys later. Remember how I was drinking punch when I saw Kin's hair? I accidentally spat it out on my friend Agari. She might be looking to pound me right about now. SEEYA!" she yelled as she ran threw a crowd of girls.
"YUKI I SEE YOU!" yelled the voice again.
"Ummm…..well that was random." Sakura said dumbfounded.
"Who was she?" Hinata asked.
"Who was who?" Temari asked confused since she had still been laughing not noticing anything around her.
"Her name's Yuki." Tenten said.
"She's in my modeling class." Ino said. "She's the best! Like she's really good."
"And she's with me in lacrosse. She's actually really good at that, probably better then me."
"Well she seems nice." Sakura put bluntly. "Can we go now?"
"Yeah I'm hungry." Tenten said as she straightened herself up. "Hinata?"
Hinata was looking at the back doors in deep thought. She didn't look very good. She seemed to be strongly upset about something, but what.
"I'm…not hungry." She said finally responding to Tenten. "I think I'm going to get some sleep."
"Isn't it a little too early to be going to bed?" Temari asked. "I mean it's only….5:34."
"We were all up pretty late last night." Sakura told her. "Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea if she took a nap."
"Then get some sleep Hinata." Livvy told her. "Especially since tomorrow is the dance, and you'll want to be well rested for your boyfriend!"
Hinata blushed a slight pink. "You're right. So then see you both later." Hinata said as they walked out of the auditorium. Once outside they all wanted to know the real reason Hinata was upset.
"So tell us already." Ino demanded. "What's up?"
"….It's nothing really. I really do think I need to get some sleep." She told them as she rubbed her one eye. "Also we should all get some rest so we won't be tired for tonight." She smiled.
"True." Sakura agreed. "When we get home I'm going to get my outfit out and then take a nap."
"You don't need to look good for this." Hinata told her.
"And if we get caught by hot councilor men….then yeah I'll be glad I did." Sakura smiled.
"Me too!" Tenten said. "You Ino?"
"I always look good." She smirked.
They all sweat dropped as Ino walked quite proud of herself.
It was pretty late and each guy in the cabin was exhausted so they decided that the best thing to do tonight would be to just chill out. Naruto was in the kitchen making some ramen for himself, Shikamaru was sleeping in his favorite chair with his mouth wide opened as he snored, and Neji and Sasuke were playing a videogame. Naruto walked in with his hot bowl of ramen and he sat in between his friends but went on the floor while they sat on the couch.
"Winning?" Naruto asked as he slurped his ramen.
"Sasuke." Neji said not taking his eyes off the T.V.
"Ramen?" Sasuke asked as his nose took a deep sniff, his eyes not leaving the T.V screen for a second.
"Naturally." Naruto said going for more noodles.
"Third?" Neji asked meaning the number of bowls he had so far.
"Mhmm." He said chewing on his food.
"Anymore?" Sasuke asked.
"One more bowl." Naruto said taking a breath and going back for more noodles in his bowl.
The room was silent as the three boys did their own thing for a while. At the end of the game, when Neji won, a strange noise was heard.
ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLL
Naruto was in mid slurp when he heard the growl. He turned around to look at Neji and Sasuke to see where the noise came from. When he looked at the couch he saw a almost confused Neji looking right at him and white lines blinking around the spot where Sasuke used to be sitting.
'Huh? Where'd he….' Naruto looked more over and could see Sasuke sneaking to the kitchen, but when Naruto saw him he froze. 'Why is he….'
"HEY!" Naruto yelled at seeing Sasuke dodge for the kitchen to eat the rest of his ramen. "GET BACK HERE SASUKE!" Naruto yelled as he jumped to his feet. He was then grabbed around the waste by Neji causing them to both to fall on the ground. "HEEEY! Neji! Are you both conspiring against me?!" Naruto yelled.
"Thanks for the ramen Naruto!" Sasuke laughed as he put the rest of the ramen into a bowl for himself. He walked back into the room in front of the struggling Naruto. Sasuke lifted the noodles up to his mouth and was about to eat them.
"SASUKE you BASTARD!" Naruto yelled.
Sasuke stopped before they went into his mouth and then began to smirk at Naruto.
"Sorry, did you want this?" he asked him as he smirked.
"DAMN YOU! YOU KNOW I DO!" he yelled as he tried to get out of Neji's bind.
"Well what if I lick them all….then do you still want them?" he asked slyly.
"That won't stop me!" Naruto declared as he got out of Neji's grip and rushed at Sasuke's legs. When he did so Sasuke fell forward but the bowl in his hands landed on Neji not only breaking but making a mess all over Neji's head.
"AUGH!" Neji yelled as he stood up with his hair all in his face dripping wet of ramen and noodles. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU BOTH!" He yelled as his eyes turned to fire.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HYUUGA FURRY!" Naruto and Sasuke both yelled as they ran to the stairs.
"HYUUGA FURRY?!" Shikamaru yelled as he sat up in his seat scared for his life. He looked over and saw Neji all wet with noodles on his head chasing Naruto and Sasuke who were running upstairs.
"LORD HELP US!" Naruto yelled.
When they all disappeared out of sight Shikamaru could here a door slam shut and then someone banging on it. Shikamaru decided to disregard everything and go back to sleep. It was Sasuke and Naruto Neji wanted to kill not him, so he had nothing to worry about. Shikamaru got himself comfortable again and closed his eyes.
"LET ME IN!" Neji growled.
BANG BANG BANG
"OPEN THIS DOOR!" He yelled.
"WHY NOT TAKE IT OUT ON SHIKAMARU?!" Naruto yelled.
Shikamaru snapped his eyes wide opened. As soon as Naruto yelled this the knocking stopped…as did Shikamaru's heart.
'AW MAN…what a drag! I'm about to get Hyuuga owned all because of Sasuke and Naruto.'
Shikamaru could here Neji coming for the stairs. He jumped to his feet and looked around for a place to hide but it was too late! Neji was already running down the stairs and his red eyes were already on Shikamaru. Shikamaru could only stare at him and let out a huge gulp.
"….Shikamaruuuuu…" Neji growled as he took steps closer to him.
"Ne..Neji calm down!" Shikamaru said as he backed himself into a wall.
Neji was only a yard away from Shikamaru. His eyes were intense and he looked blood thirsty.
'hmmm, maybe I can take him.' Shikamaru thought to himself.
Neji's eyes then became big puppy dog eyes that were crying. His lower lip was trembling and he put his index finger on it.
"Shikamaru….will…will….will you help me wash my hair?" Neji asked.
"WHAAAA?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!" Shikamaru dropped his jaw and stared at Neji in complete shock.
"Will you help me with a bath?" Neji asked again.
Shikamaru's face went completely blue with shock. Was this really happening?
"Neji WHAT THE HELL?" Shikamaru yelled.
"You…you're yelling at me…" Neji said as he coward in fear. All of a sudden it was as if Neji was a little chibi character and he was crying. "…I just wanted …your help.." he said cutely.
"Oh…Neji I'm sorry…come here." He said as he bent down to pick him up. Neji slowly retreated backwards shaking scared. "I'll help you clean your hair." He said trying to sway him over. Neji's eyes grew bright and he leapt into Shikamaru's arms. "Man this is going to be such a drag."
In the upstairs bathroom Shikamaru had Neji splashing in a bubble bath. Neji was still chibi formed, which was good for Shikamaru because washing Neji when he was big would have been disturbing on so many levels. Shikamaru sat on the toilet seat watching Neji play with a little yellow rubber duck in the water which got Shikamaru to thinking. How'd he get that?
"Neji where'd that duck come from?" he asked.
"Duckchan? He was here when I got in, remember you gave it to me?!" Neji said happily.
"Oh that's right." Shikamaru said remembering.
Knock Knock Knock came the noise from the bathroom door. It opened up a little to reveal the small, and now the chibi head, of Sasuke.
"Shikamaru?" the little voice of Sasuke asked. "Can…can we have a bath too?"
"Hm? We?" Shikamaru asked. Just then the door opened up wider to reveal Sasuke wrapped in a blue towel with a little chibi Naruto who was wrapped up in an orange towel shaking since he was cold.
"Can we have a bath too?" little Naruto asked.
"……..um…….sure." Shikamaru blinked.
Sasuke and Naruto got so happy and threw their towels to the ceiling and jumped into the tub next to Neji. Naruto and Sasuke looked with awe at Neji's rubber duck.
"I WANT ONE!" Naruto and Sasuke both yelled at once. Shikamaru let out a sigh and threw them two ducks, one blue and one green, nonchalantly into the water as he rested his chin on his left hand.
"COOL!" Naruto cheered as he played with the green one.
"Blue is my favorite color!" Sasuke said proudly.
"Now duckchan can have friends." Neji declared as he hugged his duck.
'Why me?' Shikamaru thought to himself as all three little chibis began to sway left and right with their ducks while singing in unison.
"Rubber Ducky you're the ducky you're lots of fun!"
"AAAH! NOW THEY'RE ALL SINGING?!" Shikamaru yelled as he jumped to his feet. "Hey wait a minute, where'd the rubber duckys go?"
"Sasuke give me back my DUCK!" Naruto yelled.
"I didn't take it, you took mine!" Sasuke accused.
"Then which one of you took duckchan?" Neji asked.
Soon they were all fighting, and it was getting on Shikamaru's nerves. He did the only thing he could think of to do given this situation. He kneeled next to the tub nearest Naruto and flicked his nose. Naruto shut up right away and looked at his nose really confused. Then Shikamaru gave Sasuke a little tickle on his stomach which made him laugh a lot. Finally Shikamaru pulled Neji's hair making Neji look really pissed off.
BANG BANG BANG
"Naruto!SASUKE! I'm going to kill you both!" came to older voice of Neji from somewhere.
"Huh?" Shikamaru asked out loud as he looked around the bathroom. "But Neji you're right here.
"AFTER I WASH THIS SHIT OUT OF MY HAIR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU BOTH!" Neji yelled again.
"But Neji you're already in the tub." Shikamaru said. "Oh wait a second."
Shikamaru opened up his eyes and found himself on his couch again, half asleep.
"…Wha…a dream? Man that was too weird." He sat up and let out a huge yawn. He could hear Neji slamming the bathroom door and running the water for his shower. Shikamaru I took his cell phone out of his pocket to check the time. 11:34. He yawned and decided that it would probably be a good idea to go to bed now. He got up lazily and walked up the stairs with a hunch in his back. When he got to the door and reached for the door knob it opened up by itself and both Sasuke and Naruto ran right out of it falling over Shikamaru.
"AAAAAAUGH! Naruto get off of me!" Shikamaru yelled to the knocked out Naruto who was on top of both Shikamaru and Sasuke who was sandwiched between them. "Man what a weird night." He commented.
"How so?" Sasuke asked disregarding the fact of where he was.
"I had the weirdest dream and….wait.GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" He yelled.
"Naruto WAKE UP!" Sasuke yelled as his forehead began to sweat.
Naruto was out cold.
"Naruto your hand is on my ass." Sasuke said simply.
"WOOOOAAH!" Naruto yelled as he jumped straight to his feet. Sasuke got up next and Naruto yanked up Shikamaru.
"So do we hide from him or what?" Naruto asked Sasuke.
"I'm not going up against him! I'm too tired, and when he gets like this there's no stopping him." Sasuke told him.
"Glad I'm not involved." Shikamaru said as he leaned against the wall. "That's just what I need, and after the dream."
"What dream?" Naruto asked.
"Ah, it was nothing. It was like what was happening now except you were all kids. Neji was the most pathetic. I mean his hair getting ruined, HA he practically cried over it like a little wimpy girl." Shikamaru smirked as the door to his right opened up immediately revealing a very very very very MUY pissed off Neji who was styling a wet hair grunge look with his jeans just over his blue boxers.
"Oh shit." Sasuke said.
"Neji! WAIT!" Shikamaru yelled as he backed up next to his comrades. Sasuke and Naruto ran down to the stairs right away as soon as they saw the look of death in Neji's eyes.
'So much for comrades.' Shikamaru thought to himself. Neji began to crack his knuckles and began to grind his teeth.
"Neji….I swear what I was saying was in a dream I just had….Neji I swear!" everything Shikamaru said was worthless, so he did as his friends. Made like a coward and ran. He was surprised to see them standing by the door not going anywhere.
"See, they brought the fight to us." Sasuke told Naruto.
"Man and I thought this would be a safe distance to watch." Naruto commented.
"If I'm going you BOTH are coming with me." Shikamaru told them as he stood next to them at the door. "Neji, don't forget about what these guys did to your hair."
"SHIKAMARU!" Sasuke and Naruto both yelled.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!" Neji yelled as he came after them.
"RUN!" Naruto declared as he opened the door and got his ass to safety. Shikamaru and Sasuke were right behind him with a pissed off and shirtless (insert wolf whistle here) Neji Hyuuga chasing them all.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he caught up with him. They were all running barefoot and it was hard to go any faster. "Where do we go?"
"HOW should I know?!" He yelled back.
"Go to the hall!" Shikamaru yelled as they all ran in the direction of the hall.
Once at the front doors Shikamaru forgot that the councilors might actually LOCK it.
"So now what?" Sasuke asked.
"Back doors!" Naruto suggested as they ran to the back doors. Without even looking at the door knob Naruto opened up the door which was some how unlocked. "IN HERE!" he yelled to them. They all ran inside where they thought they would be safe.
"Great idea genius!" Sasuke spat at Shikamaru. "He's going to come right in here after us."
"Well if you don't like my idea you can just leave!" Shikamaru spat back at him as they all made it blindly to the other side of the room.
"Maybe he won't be able to see us." Naruto whispered. "I can't even see any of us in here." As if on cue Naruto walked right into Sasuke.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled.
"UCHIHA!" Neji yelled as he came in threw the back door which shuts by itself.
"SEE WHAT YOU DID NOW?!" Naruto yelled.
"Looks like you're all in here." Neji growled with delight.
"Too bad you can't see us!" Naruto declared.
"But I can hear you." Neji said as he walked towards their voices.
"No one say anything." Shikamaru whispered as they continued to walk to the other side of the room.
The room was so big that they could hear their harder steps echo which helped Neji locate them better. They kept it up for a while until they felt the wall against their backs.
'Shit! It's only a matter of time now.' Sasuke thought to himself.
Neji, still full of rage, walked slowly towards where he heard them last until a noise, that stopped all of their hearts, echoed threw the hall. That's also when Neji walked into the wall and had to force himself to not yell.
The back door, which they had all just came threw, opened up. They could see a figure of someone walk in on their toes. All in all they were scared out of their minds that it was a councilor, but then why would they be sneaking?
"You all see that?" Naruto whispered.
"There are two of them." Shikamaru said.
"Where's Sasuke?" Naruto whispered again.
"To my left." Neji whispered.
Naruto and Shikamaru both gulped at hearing Neji being right next to them.
"Look, third one's a girl." Sasuke whispered to them. "She's got a skirt."
"What're they saying?" Naruto asked.
"Shut up dobe and listen." Sasuke hissed.
"Where's the damn light switch?" the first female voice said.
"I can't believe he left the keys in the actual lock!" said another voice. The voice weren't yelling but they weren't whispering either.
"Oh here's one!" said another voice.
'Shit they'll see us now!' Shikamaru thought.
A girl hit a switch that only lit up not even one fourth of the hall, yet you could see the girls a little bit clearer now. One girl was wearing a skirt and sweatshirt and her hair was black, short in the back long in the front with loose curls. The second girl had on tight pants on a tight shirt on as well. Her hair short and purple but it was spiking out at the ends. The third girl was wearing caprice and her shirt could not be identified. Her hair was like a big brown afro. The last girl was wearing what looked to be baggy sweat pants and a tight shirt. She had to long blonde ponytails.
"I bet the other switches are on the other side. Panda, you got the box?" asked the girl with black hair.
"Duh!" said the girl with the afro hair who was now called panda.
"Good. Kitten, you have the rope?" the same black haired girl asked.
"Roger Dove!" The girl with purple hair said.
"Alright! Playboy Skank, do you have the handouts?" asked the black haired girl who was now ID as Dove.
"What the hell?" The girl with long pigtails sighed. "Dove don't call me that."
"Sorry Skank Whore." Dove apologized. "You have the handouts?"
"Yes. Don't call me that!" she said in a threatening voice.
"Can someone explain to me why we have theses names again?" Panda asked as she put her box down.
"Panda these names really do help." Dove told her.
"Dove's right." Kitten agreed. "Now can we just do this already?"
"Alright alright!" said the girl with the pigtails and name issues. "But stop call me Skank Whore!"
"Alright Playboy Bunny." Dove said as she went back to the box.
Playboy Bunny sighed. "Almost there." She sighed as she looked into the box that they were all now looking over.
The guys were getting tired. Tired in general, and tired of standing. So they all slid against the back of the wall and sat that there watching what these girls were doing.
"What on earth could they be doing?" Shikamaru asked.
"Isn't obvious?" Sasuke asked them.
"They're setting up a…..(yawn)….a prank." Neji said.
"Oh…is…is that what they're doing?" Naruto asked as he tried to keep himself up.
"I can't believe how tired I feel." Sasuke said as he crossed his arms.
"That's because Neji chased us." Naruto said as he made himself more comfortable.
"Well now we're all sleeping. What do we do?" Neji asked.
"One stands guard….and the rest of us sleep." Sasuke put simply.
"So…..who's…who's it gonna be?" Naruto asked as he closed his eyes.
"Shikamaru…goin be first." Sasuke said very lazily.
"Sounds good to me." Shikamaru said thinking that Sasuke said 'Shikamaru doesn't have to got first."
All four of the guys got comfortable not even caring if there were intruders in the hall or not. Only one thing was getting them right now, and that was sleep.
I know you all want to KILL me for being late, and i did promise you something. Well that won't be till the next chapter. BELIEVE ME i'm like sweat dropping over here.

Sakura looked up at the sky again. She smiled and just took in her surroundings. It was a real pretty day and she was so busy thinking about Sasuke to even appreciate it. Sasuke quickly jumped in front of her and slit her throat with a kunai. Before she lost sight she saw Sasuke playing leap frog with his brother Itachi. All of the sudden she woke up. Everything around her appeared to be blue. Then Naruto ran up to her and said "Hey let's go jogging do you think I wear this orange jogging suit for nothing?!" Sakura tried to respond but nothing came out. "You're stupid )Naruto was all right about now) Take this!" he pulled up a gun and fired. A flaming Hokage hat came out and landed on her head. "What's this for?" she asked. She looked back at Naruto but he wasn't there instead Shino was there. But his entire outfit was changing colors. "You need to follow the rules and put the fire out on your hat." Shino stated. "Wait but if you're the Hokage you make the rules. But you didn't change them yet so technically you're still breaking the rules. Which means …" Shino was about to finish until he was eaten by Pac-man. Pac-man turned into a poke-ball and opened up. Out came all of the Muppets although they were all dressed up like ninjas. "Quick! CHAAAARRRRRGGGGEEEEE!!!!" Kermit hollered. All of the Muppets jumped into her nose screaming. Kakashi came over carrying as many guns as humanly possible. "HOW COME WE'VE NEVER USED THESE BEFORE?!?!?!?!" Kakashi said as he fired a rocket at Orochimaru. "OH THE NOEZ" Orochimaru yelled as he melted away. "I'm so happy I'm going to take off my mask!!!" Kakashi yelled. And as he pulled off his mask everyone saw his face!!! Well it wasn't his face it was a helmet. A Spartan helmet to be exact. In fact he was in full Spartan gear by now. "That's right teh n00bies I am Master Chief." Kakashi or Master Chief started to do the robot. OMG Sakura thought. Sakura couldn't take it so she shot herself.DEAD. -1 Life.
Sakura woke up in an abandoned gas station. "Come on Sakura quit hogging all of my hash." Naruto said.
