His back was hurting like a MOTHER and his neck wouldn't twist to the left at all. Where the hell was he anyways? Sunlight was hitting him hard in the eyes from right above him. Was he outside? He didn't remember anything that had happened in the past night and all of a sudden he knew he wasn't alone. From his left ear he could hear someone snoring and he could also feel them leaning up against his body.
'Who is that? Damn it! I can't move my neck….agh it hurts too badly!!' He thought as he tried to pick up his body with his right hand. He was able to maneuver his body better and was sitting up more against whatever he was leaning on.
'A wall outside?' he thought to himself.
He looked down, which was really the only way his neck would go without him feeling any pain, and he noticed a puddle around the crotch part of his pants.
"Wha?" he said out loud looking at this perfectly round liquid that was on his pants. He was now maneuvering his whole body so he could see who was lying next to him, and while he tried this only one thing kept going through his head.
'Ino's going to kill me. Ino's going to kill me. Ino's going to kill me. Ino's going to kill me.'
Now with his body turned he could feel a big wave of relief at seeing the person who was lying next to him.
"Phew, it's just Naruto." He said staring at his drooling friend. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH NAAAAAARUUUUUTOOOOO!" He yelled as he moved away from Naruto with his hands flailing everywhere.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto yelled startled. "SHIIIIIIIKAAAAAAAAMAAAAAARUUUUUU!" He yelled back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Both boys continued to yell as they both realized their closeness.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM NARA?!" Naruto yelled.
"MY PROBLEM?!?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO MY PANTS!" Shikamaru yelled as he stood up pointing at the circle of moisture. Shikamaru gathered that Naruto, within the time they spent sleeping near the other, had his head on Shikamaru's chest or lap. He obviously drooled on his pants overnight since he was now wiping drool off of his chin.
"HEY MAYBE YOU JUST WET YOURSELF! EVER THINK OF THAT?" Naruto yelled back at Shikamaru.
"YEAH WELL…huh?" Shikamaru then saw on the other side of Naruto's head the completely lost faces of Neji and Sasuke. Naruto then noticed the expression on Shikamaru's face and turned around to look at Sasuke and Neji who had been sleeping against the wall just like they had done.
"What the hell were you two doing last night?" Sasuke asked them.
"WHAAA?!?!" Shikamaru and Naruto both yelled.
"I mean…you guys were doing….something." Neji said as his eyes eyed Shikamaru's wet spot.
"HEEY!" They both yelled.
"Wait a minute!" Sasuke said alert as he nearly jumped up to his feet. "Was Shikamaru the only one who kept watch last night?"
"I was supposed to?" Shikamaru asked dumbfounded.
"AAAARGH! SHIKAMARU!" Sasuke yelled standing up and pointing an accusing finger at Shikamaru. "I said YOU would have first watch!"
"Did not!" Shikamaru yelled standing in a defensive position. "You said I DIDN'T have to go first."
"Why would I say that?!" Sasuke yelled.
"YOU GOT ME!"
"Look guys." Neji said as he stood himself up. "Can we just take this back to the cabin? I'm not exactly wearing a shirt, and it's cold in this hall so if you don't mind?"
"Wait a second guys." Naruto said getting them to all turn their heads in his direction, which made Shikamaru groan in pain since his neck refused to go that way causing him to turn his body around. "Those girls were here last night right? What did they do?"
All their faces were struck and they began to look around the room to see if anything underhanded had gone down while they were sleeping.
"So you think they knew we were here?" Neji asked still looking around with his eyes.
"Well they obviously found Nara." Sasuke said with a smirk.
"THAT WAS Naruto!" Shikamaru yelled as he pointed at Naruto and stared daggers at Sasuke. Sasuke's grin didn't change at all and Neji began to let out a short laugh as Shikamaru's entire face turned blue. "I MEAN HE DROOLED ON ME!"
"Whatever you have to tell yourself." Sasuke said teasingly.
"Hey you boys!" yelled a voice from the front doors. It was Iruka and he had a mixture of anger and confusion on his face. "What are you all doing in here….and…where did you get those new decorations from?"
"Huh? New decorations?" Naruto asked as all the boys turned and looked across the hall seeing some new decorations hanging from the ceiling.
"Well that's what we were doing here." Sasuke said nonchalantly. "We added a few more decorations this morning. We all decided it was a good idea. That's why we're here."
'Good one Sasuke.' Naruto thought.
"And you all did this in your…nightwear?" Iruka asked curiously. "And Hyuuga did it shirtless?"
"………………………………..yes." Sasuke said.
"Okay……Why?" Iruka asked showing puzzlement.
"Well we wanted to do this while the idea was still fresh in our minds." Naruto told him. "And Neji's the one who over sweats so he decided instead of ruining another shirt…he would do it without one."
Iruka looked at Neji who stared back at him blankly. Then he looked at Sasuke and Shikamaru who both nodded their heads yes, even though Shikamaru's nod looked to be in pain.
"Honest Sensei." Naruto told him.
"Well………..Aw…alright. Come on you guys. Next time you come in here will be at the dance." Iruka said as he stepped back outside. The guys began to walk over to the doors as well.
"So those girls added more decorations?" Neji asked out loud.
"But why?" Sasuke asked.
"A part of their prank?" asked Naruto.
"It's got to be." Shikamaru stated. "But what I want to know is if they knew we were here. If you noticed only the new decorations were on the side of the hall where they all were….last time I saw them."
"And whose fault is that?" Sasuke asked. Shikamaru threw him an evil glare.
They all reached to where Iruka was standing and walked past him as he shut the doors and locked them up.
"How did you boys get in here anyways?"
"uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh." 'Nope can't think of anything. I already did my part back there.' Naruto thought.
'I already lied; one of them can come up with this.' Thought Sasuke.
'What a drag. I'm always making shit up.' Shikamaru thought.
"Back door was open." Neji put simply as he continued to walk towards his cabin.
"Huh?!!!" all three guys said as they looked at Neji then Iruka to see his response.
"Oh….well none of you should have gone in there, but I guess I'll go lock that now." Iruka said as he went around the hall.
"Good one Neji," Naruto said as he began to walk faster then Neji with his hands behind his head. "But I had a great lie that he would have bought easy."
"Yeah right Naruto." Shikamaru said as he walked next to him. "I highly doubt it."
"Looks like their about to get into it." Sasuke said as he walked next to Neji. They both watched ahead as their two friends bickered.
"um…uHEM. Sasuke…about….last night." Neji said sounding embarrassed. "I was just….pretty cold you know? I thought you were my…pillow…I thought we were in our room….."
Sasuke raised his hand up for silence. "Don't worry about it. I'm not saying anything." Sasuke said trying to get rid of the subject. "Just don't ever bring it up again, EVER!"
"Hn….don't worry about it." Neji said as he focused on up ahead.
With only five uncomfortable minutes of silence between Sasuke and Neji, Sasuke took it upon himself to bring something quite interesting up.
"So…" he began as Neji looked sideways at him. "Pillow huh?"
"…yeah.." Neji said looking down at the ground.
"Pillow named Tenten?!" Sasuke said in a sly voice.
Neji's face turned bright red of anger and embarrassment. His eyes turned to flames and smoke steamed out of his ears.
"Just ADMIT IT!" Naruto yelled at Shikamaru completely oblivious to what was going on behind them. "I make you horny." He said slyly.
"eeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggh!" Shikamaru growled. There was no getting out of this without Naruto winning the argument.
"HYUUGA FURRY!" Sasuke yelled as he ran in between Naruto and Shikamaru.
"huh?" they both stopped and turned to see a red faced Neji charging at them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! HYUUGA FURRY!" Naruto and Shikamaru yelled as they ran right after Sasuke.
"UUUUUUCHIIIIIHAAAAAA!" Neji yelled as he chased them all to their cabin.
"HOLY SHIT!" yelled two random guys who were witnessing all the chasing. "HYUUGA FURRY! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"Hyuuga furry? SOMEBODY HELP!" yelled some more guys.
"GOD HELP US!" yelled guys from all around.
(AN: Indeed, the Hyuuga Furry is not to be trifled with. It can be one scary son of a bitch!)
"AHH GREAT!" Shikamaru yelled. "This is how we all got into this mess."
"SHUTUP!!" Naruto yelled. "JUST…. back at the hall Iruka was standing at the back door as he searched for its proper key on a huge keychain of keys.
"Oh here it is…hm that's funny. I know I have two copies. Wonder where the other one went." Iruka grabbed the door knob with his right hand to hold it steady but to his surprise it was already locked. "What?" he jiggled it some more and found it still to be locked. "Hmm…..that's strange. The guys said they came in threw the back, but the back door is locked."
At Camp Kunoichi a mess of the girls were already preparing for the nights events. It was in the middle of lunch where most of the girls were telling the other how they decided to do there hair and what tips from what magazine told them how to do it. All over the lunch tables were accessories displayed for the other girls to envy or trade.
"That matches my dress PERFECTLY! You wanna trade?"
"Can I have your red bangles?"
"DEAL!"
All of this was being yelled back and forth between the girls. It was a MAD house! Every councilor found some sort of excuse to not supervise the lunch to avoid all the insanity, all except poor little Shizune who had no idea what she was getting herself into.
"GIRLS! STOP PULLING ON THOSE! GIVE THOSE BACK TO HER! NO MODELING ON THE TABLES. GET OFF OF HER! PUT THOSE DOWN! NO THROWING HIGH HEALS ACROSS THE ROOM! KEEP IN LINE! WHY AREN'T YOU EATING?!?"
"I won't fit into my dress if I eat today." A girl told the out of breath Shizune who was supporting herself with a chair.
"WHAT!" she yelled making everyone in the cafeteria stop talking. "Who in here isn't eating so they'll fit into their dress?" Shizune asked without yelling since the room was dead quiet. Nearly half of the girls were raising their hands. "And who's not eating because they think they'll look better?" The other half of the girls raised their hands. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!!" All of the girls covered their ears to Shizune's yelling. "ALL OF YOU! Grab a PLATE grab some FOOD and STUFF….YOUR…..FACEEES!"
All the girls with no food ran up to the food line and began to pile food onto their plates as if their lives depended on it!
"How do these girls think they'll survive?" Shizune sighed as she plopped down at a random chair.
"Hmp. They're probably all too lazy to work out." Came the cool voice Temari. Shizune looked up to see Temari taking a last bite of a dumpling and Livvy was sitting across from her with a warm smile.
"How are you nurse Shizune?" asked Livvy.
"Oh..haaaaaa….i've been better." Shizune said as she slumped into her chair a little. "Are you both ready for the dance?"
"Of course!" Livvy said cheerfully. "And it's a good thing you got those girls to get some food. They'll be way too tired to even dance without the proper nutrition."
"Well I'm glad to see you two setting a good example." She told them as she sat up and smiled.
"Hm, did you expect anything less from us?" Temari laughed.
"No I guess not." Shizune said linking her fingers together and resting her chin on them.
"By the way….Shizune." Temari said as she picked up her glass.
"Hm?" Shizune lifted her head.
"You'll be supervising this dance right?" Temari asked taking a sip of her drink.
"Yes, I will be." Shizune told her not seeing where this was going.
"I suppose then Iruka Sensei will be there to help you since councilors will be watching in pairs."
"…huh…well…yes I suppose he will be." Shizune said blushing.
'Man. How does Temari know who everyone likes? Even the councilors? How does she do that?' Livvy thought to herself as she sipped her drink.
"I just happened to see the list as I passed my Asuma's desk this morning." Temari told her. "It had you and Iruka as councilor partners."
"Well then, won't that be nice." Shizune said no longer blushing.
"If you don't mind me asking Shizune," Livvy began. "When did you meet Iruka? If I remember correctly, you only started working here last summer after the first dance and then you left early before the last dance."
"Oh well I met him only a few weeks ago." Shizune said as she began to think about her first encounter with Iruka. "Two boys were brought to me after they got into a huge fight over a girl. Iruka came in to see them is when I first ever saw him." Shizune let out a short laugh. "I remember how mad he was at the two boys. He yelled at them with such authority and they listened to him without question." She said almost sounding star struck.
"…uh-HEM!" Temari said clearing her throat. Shizune began to blush and then waved her hand around as if she was swatting something.
"HAHAHAHA…..You know what I mean!" she laughed nervously. "Anyways I better go back to supervising these girls. It was nice talking to you both." Shizune said as she stood up and took her leave.
"There you go again." Livvy sighed as she sipped more of her drink.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Temari asked as she stopped lifting her glass to her mouth in mid air.
"Getting involved into peoples lives again."
"Hey I was just wondering!" Temari said sounding as innocent as possible. Livvy then cleared her voice so that she could do a Temari impersonation.
"I just happen to see your names on the list as I casually walked by Asuma's desk. If I recall correctly you actually picked the lock in his top drawer and searched threw a bunch of papers."
"Hmp! If I remember correctly I accidentally unlocked the drawer and then saw the paper right on top!"
"Hmmmmmmmmm." Livvy leaned in closer to give Temari the evil eye.
"Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." Temari did the exact same and returned the eye.
"PAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAhAHAHAAA!" They both together laughed as they stood up from their chairs.
"Want me to return your tray?" Livvy asked extending her hand out to take it from her.
"Sure. I'll take your trash, meet me by the doors."
After doing that they met at the doors and as they both opened one up they both began to talk at once.
"I haven't even seen….!"
"You go first." Temari told her.
"I haven't seen Ino, Hinata, Tenten or Sakura at all today."
"That's what I was going to say. Well I guess they do eat at the Hill's mess hall. But still….we usually see them."
"Maybe they slept in?" Livvy asked as they both resumed leaving the cafeteria. "Maybe they're just really tired."
"That's true." Temari said excepting that as an answer.
They both walked back to their cabin with Temari still thinking about her four friends sleeping in. The more she thought about the more she came to realize something.
"Something's not right." Temari said to Livvy making her cock an eyebrow. "Didn't we hear them all say they were going to take a nap once they got back to their cabin?"
"Hinata told us and we heard Sakura say she would when we left the auditorium." Livvy told her.
"Hmmm." Temari began to ponder on this a little bit more.
"Don't even start Temari." Livvy warned. "Maybe they never took a nap and went to bed late. Stop insinuating things!" Livvy said as she rolled her eyes at Temari.
"Maybe you're right." Temari said as they got to their cabin. She looked up the Hill's path to where she knew they might be. "maybe."
Her cell phone was near her but she wasn't exactly sure where at the moment. All she could think of was when she collapsed on her bed she dropped it by her legs. Was it still on the bed? Oh well, she couldn't think straight at that moment. She was WAY too tired to even move. Last night really got her tired and within the past few nights she couldn't get much sleep since she was constantly thinking about what would happen to her and her new friends after they all parted and went back home.
"One more day." She told herself.
And then what would she do without…him? She hadn't seen him since last year and didn't even know when she would see him again. She knew she lived near him, but it was still too far for her to get to, and she was always busy with sports and stuff.
"UUUUUUUGH!" she let out a sigh as she forced her legs over her bed. It must have been super early in the morning since she felt groggy. She looked around the floor for her alarm clock. Last she saw it was when she threw it at the wall. "Here you are." She took it in her hands and flipped it around so she could see its face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
She dropped the clock on her big toe after hearing someone outside her room scream.
"INO WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" yelled the angry voice of Sakura.
Two doors were opened and more screams were heard. Banging on Tenten's door is what occurred next.
"Tenten TENETN!" Sakura and Ino yelled as they banged on her door. Tenten kicked her clock away with her foot and went to her door. She then also realized at the foot of her door was her cell phone.
'How'd it get here?' she wondered as she picked it up. On the front she saw the time said 1:12 and thought nothing of it. She opened up her door to see Sakura and Ino freaking out.
"WE SLEPT IN!" They both yelled making Tenten throw her phone up in the air and re-catching it. She looked at the time again and saw it change from 1:12 to 1:13.
"SHIT!" she yelled. "It's the afternoon! Oh my GOSH!" she began to freak out along with them when she realized she was the only one freaking out. "…wait…what are you both staring at?" Tenten asked them as she tilted her head in confusion.
"Your hair." Ino said as she pointed at it with her eyes.
"Look guys I sleep in buns, BIG WOOP!" Tenten said sarcastically. "But you're changing it later so let's not make a big deal about okay?" she asked as she put up her left hand to touch her left bun. But what she got wasn't her left bun. It was more like a bunch of hair in her fist. "Huh?" Tenten put both of her hands on her head, still holding her cell phone, and began to feel the big puff of hair that was on her hair instead of her usual two buns. Ino and Sakura were now sniggering at this point.
"..pft…nice hair there…panda!" Ino laughed.
Tenten's face grew miffed. She grabbed the big afro wig off of her head and threw it at Ino.
"Heads up DOVE!" she yelled as it hit Ino' face and landed in her hands.
"Hey don't get mad at me because you slept in your wig." Ino said as she stuck it on Sakura's head.
"How do I look?" Sakura laughed as she stuck her hands on her hips and posed.
"You look…." Ino then began to think really hard with her finger stroking her nose. "like a….DORK!" she declared.
"Errrrrrrr!" Sakura grabbed the wig with her right hand and in one swift movement hit Ino in the face.
"Hey!" Ino yelled as she rubbed her face.
"Are you saying I looked like a dork?" Tenten demanded to know.
"No not you! But her pink hair was sticking out of it is why I called her a dork." Ino explained.
"OOOoooh." Tenten said realizing it all.
"Okay come on." Ino said as she began to walk to Hinata's door. Sakura and Tenten both followed her. "Let's wake up Whore bunny!" she laughed.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" the annoyed voice of Hinata screamed from behind her door.
"You awake bunny?" Sakura asked as Ino opened up her door.
Hinata was right in front of the door looking a little bit tired, and annoyed because of Ino's comment.
"Who could sleep with all that yelling?" she laughed. "Now we're definitely behind schedule. We haven't even eaten yet."
"We still have some food down stairs." Sakura said. "Let's go have break- I mean lunch. We'll have whatever we got!"
"Sounds good Kitten!" Ino laughed as they all went for the stairs.
"We should probably stop with the code names or it might become a habit." Hinata said as they all walked down the stairs.
"But. WHHYY!? Ino whined "They're so cool! I mean honestly what's the harm?"
"Oh, well I guess there is none. Never mind then!" Hinata smiled. "Just STOP calling me Playboy bunny, skank whore, skank bunny, or Playboy skank. I'm not going to dress like a playboy bunny for the dance tonight just because my mask is a bunny."
"Oh you know I was just teasing you!" Ino laughed as she turned and hugged Hinata. "But if you wanna reconsider," Ino began to whisper into her ear.
"Ino!" Tenten and Sakura both yelled.
"Just kidding!" Ino said sweat dropping and rubbing the back of her head nervously.
In the kitchen they all began to make their lunch which was also going to be their breakfast. They all decided to eat a little more then usual since they skipped food this morning; also they decided that they should probably have a snack before they go to the dance. They were behind schedule like Hinata said since at 1:00 they were all going make sure that they had everything they need to do Lee's hair and Tenten's hair when they got to the boys' camp. After deciding all of that they would make sure their outfits were all together and they accessorized perfectly. When that was all done they would see if their projects were all dry and ready to go. Then they would begin to do their hair since they all washed it last night before they went out. Then when that was done they would wear sweats and do their nails till it was time to put on their dresses.
They schedule was made and set in stone, but now they were running a little behind it and they had to be ready by 7:00 and were going to leave camp grounds by 7:30. Asuma felt this was fair so no one would get left behind since the rule was, if you're not ready when the buses are then you don't go. It wasn't to threaten the girls; it was to make them hurry up so they could get the heck out of there. And it was definitely going to work.
So now the girls were sitting around their table eating their "brunch" as they talked about the night to come.
"This dance is going to be tons of fun." Ino said sadly.
"Yeah, it should be…..great." Sakura said sounding just as enthusiastic as Ino.
"The prank should go nicely." Tenten said in the same tone as her friends. "…but…I almost wish we didn't do it."
"But we decided this aloooong time ago." Hinata told her. "It'll be funny you know?"
No response.
"I can already see Sasuke's face!" Hinata giggled. Sakura looked up.
"You mean like…really pissed?" she laughed.
"Maybe a little." Hinata laughed. "They'll probably hate us forever!" she told them.
Ino and Tenten began to giggle along with Sakura.
"I mean, we're going to kill their masculinity." Hinata reminded them.
"They'll…probably never talk to us again." Ino laughed.
"Neji will kill me!" Tenten laughed.
"Same with Sasuke." Sakura said. "He'll give me evil glares probably. He'll want nothing to do with me when this is all over." She said getting sadder. 'Not that it matters or anything.'
"Shikamaru will probably call me "troublesome" or something." Ino smiled. "I can only imagine."
"And Naruto….well…I'm really not sure how he'll react." Hinata said thinking about it.
"Do you think he'll get mad?" Tenten asked. "I mean he seems too nice."
"No, I'm sure he'll get bad." Ino said. "They all will."
There was silence as they all thought about the prank they had just put together last night. Even though they forgave the guys along time ago they decided, and made a pact, that they would do this as revenge. Revenge…for their dresses. Them things were expensive! And plus they really just wanted payback. It wouldn't be a prank on the boys' camp, it would just be on Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Neji. They would probably hate them after it happened but it also didn't matter. They would never see them again, except for Hinata who would see Neji since she was related to him.
So here they all were sitting around their table thinking about the prank that would go down tonight. Now not even thinking about it anymore they did forget one thing they wanted to do. Have fun.
It was their last night at camp and the last time they would see the guys that made this summer worth living! Tonight had to go off without a hitch and they would all make sure of that, no one was going to ruin this night for them.
"So Tenten," Sakura began to say as she swallowed her food. "You still have that hair gel right?"
"Course…it's in my room on my desk." She said as she swallowed her own food. "Don't worry about Lee, he's going to look just fine." She said with an evil twinkle in his eye.
"Oh Tenten, don't make him look bad." Hinata whined.
"TRUST me, I am NOT going to make him look bad. This has been a dream of mine ever since he left our camp and came back with that ridiculous haircut. I know exactly what to do with his hair." Tenten said as if she were closing the deal.
"But you can't put buns on him Tenten." Ino laughed. Tenten gave her an evil glare.
"Shut up Ino, I know how to do other things." Everyone looked at her judging that ability. "OKAY! So I really don't know how to do much, BUT, this time it'll be different. I read in magazines how to spike a guy's hair. It showed you how to hold the comb and everything."
"In what magazine?" Ino asked. "You mean one of mine?"
"Well…no. It was in one I read a few years ago." Tenten told her. "Right after Lee killed his hair I saw this hairstyle in a magazine and knew that it would be PERFECT!" she yelled as she gave them all the good guy pose.
"Hey, can you honestly say that Lee killed his hair?" Hinata asked biting into her food. "I mean do you remember how it was before it changed?"
Tenten began to think about it. Lee had uncontrollable hair and in the back was a long braded ponytail. She shivered at the thought of it.
"Yeah you're right, his hair is actually a step up from his old do, but still just as creepy."
"What did it used to look like?" Sakura asked.
"Couldn't have looked that bad." Said Ino.
"YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW!" Hinata and Tenten yelled at once. Ino and Sakura stared at them wide eyed.
"That bad?" Ino asked without blinking. Hinata and Tenten nodded their heads once as a yes.
"OKAaaay. So I'm done eating," Sakura announced as she stood up. "Let's get this day on the road, shall we?"
They all smirked and stood up just as Sakura did. It was time to start getting ready for the dance, and pack up a few things, and make sure their little art project was done. Ino's cell phone read 2:00 on the dot.
"We have FIVE hours." Ino announced.
"Hmp, that's more then enough time." Sakura said. "Man your battle stations."
Kakashi Sensei had decided to not have any activities run today since it was the last dance of the summer and the guys should all be well rested so they can dance the night away! That, and if they did have their activities then they would all be hot and sweaty and all try to get a shower at the same time.
'That's a lot of water.' He thought to himself as he sat relaxed in his chair reading out of an orange book.
"Knock Knock." Iruka said as he poked his head threw the front door to Kakashi's office. "AW, don't tell me you're reading that book again." Iruka said as he walked in with a camera bag over his left shoulder. Kakashi looked over at him with an almost bored expression on his face.
"And it was just getting good too." He said as he snapped it shut.
"I have what you asked for." Iruka said as he put his bag down in front of Kakashi on his desk. Iruka opened it up immediately and grabbed out a camcorder. "But I still don't get why you asked me to get this for you."
"Obvious." Kakashi said as he stood up and walked over to his front window. Out front he watched as a bunch of boys were playing flag football, except with only one flag, which was a wash cloth. However he was more interested in four particular boys who were playing, the four new guys at the camp. The Uchiha, The side Hyuuga, The genius Nara, and Naruto Uzumaki. They were obviously all on the same team along with the Gai wannabe and a few other boys. He smiled to himself, although it was hidden since he always wore a mask. In his eyes you could see how happy he was. No. Happy was too much of an understatement. Watching these boys, having no cares at the moment, seeing where they came from and how much they had changed made his job almost worth it. Almost.
"You want me to record them?" Iruka asked.
"Obviously." Responded Kakashi. "You know, for the commercial."
Iruka was sweat dropping along with showing a completely confused face. "You're….shooting a commercial?"
"Of course. This camp needs a little bit more advertisement. You see I had Ibiki record those four particular boys when they came to this camp. If you watch the tape and compare it to what you see now you'll see how much change has happened. The good kind of change I mean. That can be the commercial." Kakashi said as he thought of it all in his mind. Iruka only smirked.
"Hmp."
"Hm?" Kakashi turned around and looked at Iruka curiously.
"You think this camp has changed them? That's only the half of it. They have changed, yes, but not because of the camp's influence." Kakashi continued to show Iruka a completely oblivious expression. Iruka walked next to him at the window and watched the boys play. "It's a small thing called love."
"Ah yes." Kakashi said as he looked back at the boys. "Why didn't I pick up on that right away?"
"Guess you just wanted to take the credit." Iruka told him.
"As he should!" came the masculine and strict voice of Ibiki. "Pft, love has nothing to do with their change. It's my hard discipline on them, especially on that Naruto kid. Nothing but hard labor I put on that one and you think love had something to do with it?"
"Ibiki you got to understand," began Iruka.
"What are they? In love with each other?" Ibiki asked. "Bunch of pussies, I'LL BEAT IT OUT OF THEM!" He declared as he was about to charge right back out of the office.
"Ibiki calm down." Iruka said. "We mean with some of the girls at the neighboring camp."
"Oh come now Iruka, how can they be in love? They only ever saw the girls twice. Once at the dance and previously at the games." Ibiki told him.
"Iruka is talking mainly about Naruto's group of friends." Kakashi told Ibiki.
"Uchiha, Hyuuga, and Nara? Weren't those the same four in the canoe accident?"
"Yes. And do you know the other four girls that were also in it?" Kakashi asked him.
"The Hyuuga Heiress and three others."
"Well those four girls have a particular liking to those four boys out there who we are referring to. Vice versa as well, they seem to have a keen liking to them too."
"So which one got the princess?" laughed Ibiki.
"Naruto." Kakashi told him a matter of factly.
Ibiki nearly choked on himself. "That goof off?!" he asked astonished. "So you know this is a summer fling."
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Iruka asked almost insulted.
"The female Hyuuga is top dollar, and Naruto can't even rub two pennies together. I mean isn't it obvious that she's only being cute with him just for some summer action?"
"How dare you think lowly of Miss Hyuuga!" Iruka yelled. "You speak of her as if she were just a tramp!"
"Now now Iruka," Kakashi said nearly monotone. "Ibiki wouldn't be saying such things about little Hinata. After all, his observations are just as accurate as yours are. We don't know what's going on here since we really don't know the girls at Asuma's camp."
"What's this about my girls?" Asuma asked as he walked threw the door wearing black pants and a dark blue cotton shirt with a green vest on top. (AN: Like a Chunin vest)
"Speak of the devil. You know you're late Asuma." Kakashi told him.
"I know Kakashi, and isn't that your thing?" he laughed.
"Hmp, well I suppose it is." He smirked.
"So now what's all this talk about my girls?" Asuma asked as he leaned against Kakashi's desk.
"We're talking about Hinata Hyuuga and her clique of friends." Ibiki told him.
"Ah, the Noyamas." Asuma said as if he was reminiscing. "A group of very fine girls. They're very friendly with pretty much anybody, but they mainly hang out with each other last I checked. I mean they've made friends but I think they've already have some past history."
"And what about Hinata Hyuuga?" Ibiki asked.
"Very smart girl, high class, very polite, number one young debater, and if I am correct she is our best singer." Asuma told them. "But that's all I can get from the top of my head. Next question."
"There aren't any." Said Kakashi. "I think you answered enough."
"Then perhaps I missed judged her." Admitted Ibiki. "Although the whole thing still looks fishy. I mean the princess and the pauper."
"Talking about that kid Naruto?" Asuma asked. "Iruka has told me some things about him."
"Well well well, gossiping are we?" Kakashi asked even thought it sounded more like a statement.
"I like to see of it as exchanging information." Iruka corrected. "Now about the boys."
"Yes, one of us will have to go out there and record them. Oh good Iruka I'm glad you volunteer." Kakashi smirked.
"Wait..what?"
"That is why you've been holding the camera right?" Kakashi asked.
"But…you…I've just been…"
"Fine." Sighed Kakashi. "I'll go with you, but we need to hurry since it's getting darker out."
"The girls are all probably getting ready by now." Asuma said as he stood up.
"So why aren't you down at your camp?" Ibiki asked.
"Think I'm crazy?" he asked.
"Don't you know that every year Asuma comes here by himself before the girls so he won't have to deal with any of them?" Kakashi asked.
"Uh, no." Ibiki told him.
"There is NO way I can handle a billion screaming girls on a trip and back in the same night. I'm not crazy, I value life."
"So does that mean you stick Kurenai with all of them?" asked Ibiki.
"After putting that job on me for years I finally figured out that he does this so I jumped on the band wagon!" said Kurenai who opened the door. She was wear a short red dress with a green vest ontop.
"You mean you never realized it before till now?" Iruka asked. She ignored his question.
"So what took you so long then?" Kakashi asked her.
"You try walking threw the middle of a football game. Shouldn't they be showering up now for the dance? It's getting late." Kurenai told him.
"Not until we shoot this." Kakashi said motioning to Iruka who followed him out of the office.
"Aren't you going to follow them?" Asuma asked Ibiki.
"Hm." Ibiki followed them and shut the door behind himself.
Outside Kakashi's office the guys were all playing football not really keeping track of the score or the time. Lee had thrown the ball to Sasuke who held it close to his chest as he ran it to where the designated touchdown spot was. He was pretty sure this would put his team in the lead but he lost count a while ago. The other team ran close up behind him but he didn't worry about them since he knew his team would take care of them no problem.
"AARGH!" yelled a guy who was just taken down my Neji.
"AAAK!" yelled the next guy who had his ankle grabbed by Shikamaru.
"I got you now SasAAAAAH!" yelled the last guy who was taken down by Naruto.
No one was going to stop him. This next touch town was just a give away. As he approached it a glimmer of something caught his eye. He turned his head to look at what the distraction was.
"AAHHHH!" Sasuke dropped his jaw and came to a complete halt in mid run. He stared wide eyed at Iruka recording his touchdown and saw Kakashi watch him with a very keen eye.
"Sasuke…you ruined our shot." Kakashi sighed.
"Just act like the camera isn't here." Iruka told him as he continued to record.
All of the guys walked over and stared at Iruka, Sasuke was now over the shock and standing as if nothing had happened.
"That's the end of this game." One guy said.
"Good, cause I need to shower." Commented Shikamaru as he looked at his shirt that was covered in sweat and dirt.
"You all better hurry up!" Ibiki commented, even though it sounded like a command. "Boy's meeting starts in little less then one hour and you all look like a mess!" All the guys stared at him wide eyed. "You didn't understand that?! Do you I have to ask you in FRENCH?! GET A MOVE ON!" Ibiki yelled. All of the guys quickly got away from Ibiki and went to their cabins or showers.
"Did you get that Iruka?" Kakashi asked him.
"All of it." Iruka said as he turned the camera off.
"Looks like Ibiki will be a part of our commercial as well." Kakashi said gladly. "Looks like we should all get ready as well."
"Supervising is going to be loads of fun." Ibiki said sarcastically.
"I'm glad you feel that way!" Kakashi smiled. "Oh, and Iruka. I checked with Asuma and you'll be supervising the dance with nurse Shizune."
"Nurse Shizune?" he asked bewildered.
"Yes, just incase something goes wrong we'll have more then just one nurse near by. She's never supervised a dance before so you'll have to help her with your years of experience."
"Of course!" Iruka said.
"So then, you might want to get dressed." Kakashi said to him as he went back to his office.
Iruka looked down at his attire. A little bland, but it was just a dance right?
"Don't forget to wear your green vest." Kakashi advised as he knocked on his door a few times. "All chaperones will be wearing one; those are the rules of this camp." Kakashi opened up the door and went inside his office.
'Of course I would wear the green vest. We do that every year, it's almost like a tradition here.' Iruka thought to himself as he went to go get changed.
IT WAS TIME!
The girls, as hard as it was to believe, were dressed, had their masks and were waiting silently on the bus for their departure to the dance. Each once of them was sitting silently waiting for the bus's motor to turn on so they could finally talk. Shizune, who was left in charge, SWORE she would not let them go to the dance if they gave her trouble on the way there. Some girls tested that and were not aloud to go anymore being forced to stay in the mess hall to clean. No one wanted to be the next ones so there was silence on the bus, but when the bus's started their engines they all began to whisper to one another.
Hinata and Ino shared a seat together in the third seat to the back while Sakura, Tenten, and a duffle bag all shared a seat five in front of them. It was actually pretty easy for them to get the bag on board without Shizune seeing it. Go figure. Now all they had to do was sneak to Lee's cabin to do his and Tenten's hair. No problem right?
As they pulled into the camp the girls were all dazzled with the lights that the guys had hung all around. It made the night brighter and it all lead to the dance hall where guys were walking into. Once the bus's doors opened the girls all got off and went right inside the doors. Shizune stepped into one of the buses at random and looked from where she stood at all the seats. No one was on it as far as she could tell so she too went into the hall.
"She gone?" Ino whispered.
Sakura looked over the bus seat she was hiding behind to see Shizune gone.
"The coast is clear." She told them as she noticed Shizune walking into the hall. They all stood up and quietly walked off of the bus in their stunning outfits!
Sakura walked off wearing a sea foam green silk dress with pink criss-crossing ribbons going in several directions. Her hair was left down except on the right side she tied in a matching green ribbon.
Tenten was next to step off in a cute mini Chinese baby doll white dress with pink designs, also around her arm was her duffle bag full of everything she needed for Lee.
Ino came off after wearing strapless light green dress with blue designs all over and blue flare coming off the ends. Her hair was half up and her makeup was flawless!
Hinata was covering the rear in her stunning tealish platinum dress with little straps and a black ribbon around her waste. Her hair was left down straight, not a hair out of place mind you, and for Ino's sake she wore a bow tie so she could look semi playboy bunny.
"Everyone have their masks?" Sakura asked as they all hunched over and began to tip toed towards the cabins.
"Got em'" they all whispered.
"Tenten you know his number?" Ino asked.
"Stop asking me. I didn't forget within the past half hour." Tenten told her. "Let's go over to those and see what numbers they are to see if we're close." Tenten suggested.
They all continued to walk with a hunched back so they could stay close to the ground as far as their dresses would let them. They stared down at the dirt road since they couldn't exactly see where they were going and because they didn't want to ruin their shoes.
"Going somewhere?" asked a male voice.
All four girls froze dead in their tracks and stood straight up. Their eyes grew wide and their faces turned blue. Their plan that they had been planning for weeks was going to be crushed, and they only just started to let it begin! FOILED! They were completely foiled! But by who? They all slowly turned their bodies and to their complete doom they saw Kakashi Sensei standing there in black pants, a black cotton shirt with a green vest on top while he crossed arms.
"The dance seems to be in the other direction. You see, we put the lights up leading that way so you would all follow them like little moths. But here you are."
"We…uh…we…" spattered Sakura as she tried to come up with something.
"Yeees Sakura?" Kakashi asked as he raised his visible eyebrow.
"Kakashi, we won't lie to you." said Tenten getting the attention of Kakashi. "We're on our way to fix Rock Lee's hair for the dance. We're doing this for all of man KIND Kakashi! He'll finally look normal and not like another Gai!" Tenten yelled.
Kakashi stared blankly at her. Her face didn't even twitch. Sakura bit her lip as she waited for Kakashi's response while Hinata's eyes kept looking at the two back and forth.
"……."Kakashi looked over at Ino and Hinata. His eyes then moved to look back over at Tenten and Sakura. "Carry on." He said as he turned and walked to the dance. "If you hit the latrines then you've gone too far." Kakashi said as he continued on his way.
The girls all blinked at him.
"Did that really just happen?" Ino asked not letting her eyes leave Kakashi's back.
"Yeah…it did." Said Sakura in astonishment.
"Let's not loose this precious time we have." Hinata told them as she turned to face them all. "We need to get to Lee's cabin ASAP before another counselor finds us."
"Right." They all said as they went back on the search for Lee's cabin.
Lee was sitting nervously on his bed with his hands folded on his lap and his head hanging low as he stared down at his shiny black shoes. He really wasn't sure why he was nervous since it was just his hair that was being changed. For only one night he wouldn't look like himself, it wouldn't last long.
'But…my hair. It's in honor of Gai Sensei. NO! I can't have them change it.' Lee stood with his fist clenched. 'This isn't just hair! It's like a memory of Gai Sensei. I have made up my mind. They will NOT TOUCH MY HAIR!' he yelled in his mind as his eye turned to fire. Just then the front door opened to reveal Tenten and her friends.
"Are you ready Lee?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am." He said as he sat right back down like a frightened puppy.
"Hey Lee, what's with the bandage?" asked Ino looking at his left cheek that had a little white bandage on it.
"I cut myself shaving about an hour ago." He told them. "Now I'm afraid I've been waiting for you all on pins and needles. I have never been so nervous in my life!"
"Well you can relax a little longer." Tenten laughed as she sat down on the bed opposite him. "Because Sakura is going to do my hair first!"
"Actually we're all attacking you at once." Ino told her as she went threw the bag Tenten had placed next to her. "And Hinata will be doing your makeup."
"How long do you think this is going to take?" Tenten asked worried.
"How manageable is your hair?" asked Hinata.
"You got me!" she shrugged.
"Then we have no idea." Ino smiled as she stopped rummaging threw the bag to look at Tenten's nervous face.
"Lee, you can just sit back as we do this." Sakura said as she looked over to where Lee was sitting. Her eyes widened when she saw Lee not there anymore. "Lee?" Sakura asked as she looked towards the door to see Lee tiptoeing away.
"Lee where do you think you're going?" asked Hinata as she and Sakura appeared in front of the door with their arms crossed.
"I was…just…ehh." Lee sweat dropped and walked back to his bed with his arms dangling.
"Lee we're not going to perform torture on you." Ino told him as she pulled out some strange device. (Hair dryer with a diffuser on it.) Lee nearly passed out at just the sight of it.
"Yes Lee, Tenten's only going to gel your hair. She's not going to hurt you in any way." Smiled Sakura.
"OH thank you Sakura!" Lee said as he got down on one knee and grabbed her hand. "You truly put my nerves at ease. Oh if only Sasuke didn't threaten to kill anyone who tried to dance with you, then I could show you how.."
"WAIT wait, HOLD ON!" yelled Ino. "Sasuke threatened people?"
"Indeed. During a soccer scrimmage. He said no one was to dance with the girl with pink hair."
"AAAW!" cued all three girls.
"Lee, are….are you sure?" Sakura asked unsure.
"Absolutely." He told her. Sakura's whole face was going red.
"Back to Tenten por favor!" Hinata said trying to get their focus.
"Well first were going to have to take out those buns." Said Ino. "Sakura, Hinata. If you would both be so kind."
Sakura got Tenten's left bun and Hinata got the right. They both began to undo the ribbons that were holding her buns together and surprisingly they were coming out pretty easily. Tenten's face looked to be in pain. Lee and Ino kept their eyes on her not even blinking so they wouldn't miss the moment in history when they would all finally see Tenten's hair. As the ribbons came out her hair came rolling out along with the aroma of the shampoo that she used.
"HUUUH!" They all gasped.
"Tenten!" gasped Ino.
"It's even better then the first time I saw it." Sakura awed.
"YOU LOOK AMAZING!" Hinata yelled as she gave Tenten the good guy pose.
"Tenten!" Lee yelled with hearts in his eyes. "You are even more beautiful then BEFORE! I would be honored if you were to enter the dance along side with me!"
"UM….gosh Lee..I uh…" 'Do I really look that good with my hair down? Lee's not even looking in Sakura anymore. His attention is put on me! Can't say that I don't mind though.' "Lee how about I just give you one dance instead? Wouldn't that be better?"
"THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!" He yelled with stars in his eyes. "HOWEVER! Neji has already warned people to not dance with you. He said during soccer along with Sasuke that if anyone danced with the girl with buns they would live to regret it."
All of their eyes grew wide, and Tenten turned just as red as Sakura did.
"Cruel words indeed." Lee told them. "Ones that should be taken with great caution if one values there life."
"See Tenten." Hinata said getting back down to business. "Neji does like you!"
"Now back to your hair!" Ino said. "We don't have much time."
The girls all worked quickly on Tenten's hair. They were still in complete awe at how amazing it looked, but their awe grew when they saw what they were doing with it. Her bangs were left in their regular Tenten style but the rest of her hair was in light curls that shaped her face. They pulled a little bit of hair back and tied it in the back of her head with a light pink ribbon. It twirled naturally like the rest of her hair did. Ino even added in a few diamonds in her hair for the extra touch! Not that any of that was needed in her hair, it was perfect before they even touched it.
"Alright Lee, from a guys' perspective how does she look?" Sakura asked.
Lee stared at Tenten. She stood their smiling with her eyes closed and a small bush on her face. Her hands were folded and her left foot was in the air.
"Well?" asked Hinata.
"Tenten…you look…beautiful." Lee told her.
Beautiful
The word wouldn't get out of her head. She didn't look sporty, she didn't look cute, and she didn't even look pretty! She was beautiful. Her heart was so touched, and tears were starting to go down her cheeks.
"We got leakage!" warned Sakura.
"Non of that!" Ino said as she took a tissue and carefully dabbed them up. "You'll ruin the makeup Hinata put on you."
"I'm sorry!" Tenten laughed. "But I'm so happy! And I wouldn't be without you guys. You're all so awesome."
They all joined in a group hug around Tenten.
"Now I'm going to cry!" Ino said as she dabbed her own tears away with the tissue.
"Come on you guys." Hinata said snapping them back into reality. "Now that we're done Tenten."
"We can work on Rock Lee." Tenten said evilly as she eyed him.
He gulped.
Tenten grabbed him by the shoulders and planted him on his bed. Without any hesitation she pulled out a small white tube, Lee assumed it was the hair gel.
"Is…that even going to be enough?" he asked almost afraid to speak.
She unscrewed the tube and began to put the orange gel on his eyebrows.
"Oh…this isn't the hair gel. This is a…special…kind of gel that will protect your eyebrows from the real hair gel." Before he could react she stuck a strip of white paper on each of his eyebrows. Ino, Sakura, and Hinata realized what Tenten was doing. Their faces began to turn red since they were trying to not let their laughter show. Tenten then got the real hair gel and began to quickly ass globs and blobs of it to Lee's head. Once it was all there sitting like a pile of mush she began to style and spike it. The girls were astounded with her mastery of hair spiking. She was doing it at such a speed that their own eyes couldn't keep up with her movements.
"DONE!" she shouted.
"Already?" Sakura asked.
"I've been ready for this my WHOLE life. Now what do you think of the new Rock Lee?" she asked as she stepped aside so they could all get a good look at him.
"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………" They were all speechless.
Lee
Was
Looking
HOT!
Tenten had spiked his hair perfeeectly and she even added a white headband to it. When she got that, they really didn't know, then again they didn't care. Lee was DROOL worthy!
"WOW!" Lee said as he looked in a hand held mirror. "Tenten you did a splendid job! Thank you!"
"You're welcome Lee." She said as she smiled at him innocently. "Here, I'll help you take those things off." She said motioning to the pieces of paper on his eyebrows. She grabbed each one in her hand and YANKED them off.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lee yelled "MY EYEBROWS MY EYEBROWS!" he whined as he held them in his hands.
"Sorry Lee," Tenten said. "I forgot to mention to you that that was wax and not gel." She said as she laughed nervously.
Lee hung his head low. "I truly look like a freak!"
"Lee….you look….sooo….hoooot!" Ino said with hearts in her eyes. All three girls had them along with a stream of drool. Lee blinked at them.
"Oh jeez, here Lee." Tenten said as she threw a green rag at him. "It's not a rag it's a shirt. Take off your shirt and put that one on instead."
"But.."
"DO IT!" she yelled.
Lee unbuttoned his green cotton shirt like he was told and put on the other shirt that Tenten had given him. It was a forest green wife beater that said in white letters "HARD WORKER if you know what I mean" on it.
"NICE!" Ino, and Sakura yelled as they saw Lee's abs.
"Tenten won't I be cold in this?" he asked her.
"Don't you have a black blazer or something?" she asked him. His response was pulling one out from his suitcase. "So put that on over it. Also, I know you still carry that Konoha chain necklace around with you so you should probably put that on too."
Lee went back into his bag and pulled out a box. He opened it up and the only thing inside was a bunch of metal chains, or so it looked to be. He took it out and put it on around his neck.
"WOW! I haven't warn this in years!" he exclaimed.
"Then..why do you have it with you?" Ino asked.
"Don't even Ino." Hinata warned. "It's a long story."
"Lee you sure do clean up nicely!" Sakura told him. "So where's your mask?"
"Right here." He said as he picked it up off of his bed. He put it on himself and looked into the mirror again. "Now no one will see my eyebrows." He said in relief.
"not if I have anything to say about it." Tenten mumbled.
"So are we ready?!" Ino asked as she opened up Lee's cabin door.
"Can't keep the guys waiting!" Sakura said as they all stepped out.
"Will be their shortly." Tenten said as she took a comb to Lee's head. "I want to fix this one part. We'll follow right after you!"
"Hurry up then!" Hinata yelled as the door shut behind her.
They all walked over to the dance hall and took a deep breath.
"This is it." Ino said solemnly.
"Last time we get to see them." Sakura said.
"At least…until next year." Hinata said trying to sound a little bit more upbeat. It was working. "Fine." She said
"Hm?" they both looked up at her.
"You two can stay out here if you're going to be mope, but I don't want to waste anymore time. I'm going in there to see Naruto! And we're going to have the best night ever, last or not last. Don't ruin this for me!"
They both smiled.
"You're right, Hinata." Sakura said.
"Let's hurry before someone takes our partners." Ino smirked.
They each put their masks on and opened up the doors. They stepped into the bright lights and pounding music. The room looked as amazing as it did last night, except for one thing.
No one was dancing.
