"Well in that case, I suppose Tenten can always go with someone else" Ino smirked, knowing that she and Sakura had won the argument.

"Fine" Neji grudgingly agreed.

"If you don't want to go Neji you don't have, like Sakura said we can find her a different date. Oh! Like Will he was really cute and he was hitting on you" Arisa said turning her attention to Tenten. "Yeah, so don't worry Neji, we can call up Will set up a time, get dates for Sakura and Ino, go to a nice restaurant then a club…." Arisa continued on pretending not to notice that she was pissing off all the guys "….and then we can head over to a hotel-" Arisa stopped when she saw someone in the distance.

The guys were glaring at her, then they realized that she wasn't looking at them and had ran behind Hinata and was hiding from something.

"What are you doing?" Shikamaru asked

"Nothing" she said peering over Hinata's shoulder and ducking back down again. Miroku turned around to see what Arisa was looking at. He smirked.

"Is that who you're hiding from? Should I call them over?" Miroku's smirk grew wider.

"Do it and I swear on my life that I will kill you and be sure that you are sent to the molesting side of hell, where you will be anally and orally raped for the rest of eternity" Arisa growled glaring at Miroku, everyone was like O.O

"Like OH. MY. GAWD, ARI!" Arisa came out of her hiding spot to face a girl running up to her. She looked to be a little over 15 and had long pitch black hair pulled back into a ponytail, and glowing gold eyes.

"Ari! How have you been! I haven't seen you in ages!" the girl said in a high pitched preppy voice.

"Hey…Hari" Arisa muttered not meeting her step-sister's gaze.

"You look so different!" Hari smiled

"So do…you" Ari muttered glaring at Miroku just because she felt like it.

"Hey Miroku what's up!" Hari asked

"Nothing much, you know me and Ari were just talking about yo-" Miroku was cut off by Arisa's fist making contact with Miroku's jaw sending him flying back.

"Miroku was wondering how you were, so why don't you take him and tell him how your life has been" Ari said pushing her sister away

"I would but then Itachi would get lonely" she said cheerfully.

"I-Itachi?" Sasuke sputtered.

"Yeah you know him?" Hari asked clueless. Itachi walked up behind Hari and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Hello, little brother" he smirked. Sasuke clenched his fists, meanwhile the rest of the group was looking back and forth between Itachi and Hari, and Sasuke and Ari.

"Well why don't you all talk it over some where else" Ari said glaring at her sister and her boyfriend.

"It's not polite to glare" Itachi told Ari

"Fuck off bastard" Ari said deepening her glare, Itachi was taken back by her forwardness.

"Ari be nice" Hari said glaring at her little sister.

"Take your slut and leave, Itachi" Sasuke glared. Arisa stifled her laughter as Hari and Itachi glared at her.

"Do you know who I am?" Itachi asked venomously.

"Yes, an arrogant conceited bastard" Ari smirked, as Sasuke also smirked at her answer.

"I'm part of the va-" Itachi was cut off by Miroku, who threw sand in his mouth. Itachi tried to spit out the sand but was unsuccessful on getting it all out.

"You aren't very smart are you?" Miroku asked rubbing his now bruising jaw. Itachi glared and stormed off.

"You're welcome" Ari spoke to Hari.

"Yeah, yeah…I'm just glad you were here that guy has an ego bigger than Dad's" Hari whispered

"I could tell, anyways we should get back to everyone else" Arisa smiled thinking of Itachi being burnt to a crisp then eaten by cannibals.

"Stop thinking about cannibals" Hari laughed "by the way do you know any one by the name of Gaara Subaku?" Hari asked.

"Yeah, Mr. Pizzaman!" Ari laughed at the memory.

"Wait the pizza guy was a vamp?" Miroku asked in a shushed tone

"Obviously" Sasuke said joining the conversation "he's supposed to go to our school but ditches all the time" Sasuke added.

"Are you serious!" Hari asked wide-eyed

"No I'm just making this up" Sasuke said sarcastically

"Oh, well could you introduce me?" she asked

"Why?" Miroku wondered out loud

"Because I saw him at the last royal meeting and thought that he was really cute" she shrugged

"He's a royal, and what meeting?" Ari asked

"Yes, and um…nothing, so can you introduce me?"

"Sure, I'm having pizza tonight anyway….and no, you can't come" Arisa said before her sister could ask to join.

"Fine" she pouted

"You shouldn't do that" Miroku commented

"Yeah, you look like a blowfish" Sasuke added

"Argh, you little ingrates!" Hari stormed off.

"Sorry about that" Ari said with a nervous laugh walking towards the rest of the group followed by Sasuke and Miroku.

"So did you all know each other before or something?" Neji asked.

"No we just know the same people" Miroku shrugged

"Who was the chick with the preppy voice?" Shikamaru asked, earning a glare from Ino.

"No one of importance" Arisa shrugged it off, "hey look! An ice-cream stand" she exclaimed before she, Sakura, Tenten, Ino, and Naruto ran towards the stand.

"Just look away and pretend you don't know them" Miroku said turning to face the ocean. Shikamaru, Neji, and Sasuke nodded in agreement followed Miroku's gaze to the ocean.

---------------30 minutes later---------------

"They should be back by now" Neji said looking towards the stand to see it empty. "where'd they go?" he asked. Shikamaru scanned the beach to see them near the water building sand castles.

"Over there" Shikamaru pointed

"What! They started building with out me!" Miroku said angrily "I mean what losers" he said changing his voice so it sounded indifferent.

"Riiiiiiiiiiiggghht" Sasuke said rolling his eyes as they made their way towards the girls…..and Naruto.

"Hey, why didn't you tell us you were coming over here" Miroku asked

"Cause we didn't feel like it!" Naruto laughed sticking out his tongue. Sasuke smacked Naruto upside the head and they got into an argument. Neji sat by Tenten who currently had the biggest sand castle.

"And I will be taking you on a date not some other guy" Neji whispered in her ear causing her to blush. He smirked at her reaction and helped her build her sand castle.

"You don't h-have to" she said nervously.

"I know…but I want to" he smirked.

"O-okay, i-I mean i-if you w-want to" she stuttered.

"And I do" he responded going back to building their sand castle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey" Shikamaru said lazily sitting down next to Ino. She stopped digging her hole and faced him.

"Hey! Can I bury you?" she asked

"Sure" he said sliding into the hole that was just his size and she proceeded in burying him (not his head)

"Wanna hang out sometime?" Shikamaru asked with his eyes closed. Ino blushed and smiled at him.

"Sure! Where'd you have in mind?" she asked

"The park" he cracked one eye open to see her reaction. She was smiling happily.

"Okay, Shika!" she said covering his legs completely with sand

'Shika? Oh well' he thought before closing his eye again and falling asleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Ari……is that supposed to be a sand castle?" Miroku asked looking at the deformed sand blob.

"No baka, that is a blob of sand stupid" Arisa said looking at him like he was the stupidest person alive…….well in her opinion he kinda was.

"Well how I supposed to know!" Miroku argued.

"Um, I don't know…maybe the fact that there is part of a sand person next to it!" Ari argued back, rolling her eyes. Miroku looked next to the sand blob and sure enough there was a sand person being formed.

"Oops…guess I didn't see it" Miroku laughed nervously.

"Yeah just like you didn't see the fucking cannon!" Arisa yelled throwing a shovel at his head.

"Oww… hey, I really didn't see it, and I didn't mean to put you in its line of fire" Miroku said rubbing his forehead (that's where the shovel hit him).

Sasuke had knocked out Naruto and was looking over at Arisa.

"A cannon?" he asked her.

"Yep" she nodded "stupid git didn't realize that we were in the middle of a fucking war" Ari glared at Miroku.

"Oh I remember hearing about that, I heard that one of the vampire princesses had been hit with a cannon in the middle of a war; at the time I just laughed at her stupidity" he said smirking at the memory.

"It wasn't my stupidity it was Miroku's" she said throwing a bucket at his head.

"You know that really does hurt and you know it was an accident" he said sitting down next to Arisa and Sasuke.

(Sakura and Hinata were to busy building their sand castles to notice that the two boys were no longer fighting)

"Yeah that was an accident along with almost getting us sacrificed….well, me more than you" she added the last part after she threw a crab at Miroku's head. (She found it next to her).

"Wow…how much trouble do you cause her?" Sasuke asked Miroku once he figured out that most of Arisa's troubles are caused by him.

"Um…not much" he said scratching the back of his head.

"Liar" Arisa said throwing a hammer at his head.

"Where the hell'd you find that hammer!" Miroku asked trying to wipe the blood from his face.

"I found it and you'd better wash that blood off" Arisa shrugged working on her sand sculpture, and trying to ignore her craving of blood.

"Yeah, you can just wash it of in the water" Sasuke smirked, knowing that they were shark infested waters. Miroku nodded and ran over to the water (ocean) and washed off his face.

"You know he's most likely going to be attacked by a shark, right?" Arisa asked Sasuke not looking up from her growing sand sculpture.

"Yeah, why do you think I told him" Sasuke said observing her sand art.

"That's not very nice, you should be hit for that" Arisa said looking for her shovel. "Here it is" she said once she found it and began working again.

"Are you going to hit me?...and what are you making?" he asked

"No, not worth it…and it's a work of art" she said as part of the sculpture became clear.

"Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm no-" Sasuke was cut off by yells

"Aahhhhhhhhhhhh, shark!" if you guessed right it was…… Miroku. He was swimming towards the shore apparently being chased by a shark.

"How the hell'd he get way out there?" Arisa asked, Sasuke shrugged in response as she stood up and slowly made her way towards the shore.

"You do realize that we can die if we get eaten, right" Sasuke asked

"Yep, why do you think I'm walking to slow? It's so I look like I'm helping him, while I'm really wishing he'd be eaten by the time I get there" Arisa said getting closer to Miroku

"And you call me mean" Sasuke said.

"Yep" she said before diving into the water and swimming towards Miroku.

"Loser" Sasuke muttered walking up behind Sakura.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Whatcha doin'" he asked in her ear, she jumped and turned to face him. (I know Sasuke's out of character…but it must be done!)

"Wha? Oh, Sasuke….i'm building a sand castle" she smiled warmly at him.

"Need any help?" he asked sitting next to her. She was startled by his closeness and the fact that he was being so nice to her, but she agreed gratefully.

"Good" he said reaching around her to grab a shovel, bringing their faces inches apart before pulling back (with the shovel in hand) and smirking at her blushing face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took Hinata a few minutes to realize that Naruto and Sasuke were no longer fighting; she looked around her to see him passed out not to far away.

"Ah, Naruto?" she asked herself crawling over to him. She shook him lightly.

"Naruto? Naruto get up" she said shaking him harder now.

"Huh? Wha happened?" he asked groggily

"Um…you fell asleep" Hinata said without stuttering.

"Oh...well thanks, Hinata!" he smiled.

"N-no pr-problem n-Naruto" she stuttered 'so much for not stuttering' she thought to herself.

"Is that Miroku!" Naruto yelled/asked. This caught everyone's attention they turn to the ocean and saw Miroku swimming super fast back to shore, Ari was treading water waiting for him to come closer, and a shark was swimming behind Miroku.

"What the hell?" Ino asked as she watched Arisa dive under the water.

"Why the hell is Miroku even out there?" Tenten questioned as the shark stopped swimming after Miroku and went farther under the water.

"Who knows" Neji shrugged.

"Who cares" Sasuke added going back to the sand castle.

"Well aren't you sweet" Sakura said watching as Arisa came back up for air with a smile on her face. She swam back to shore ridding herself of any blood colored water.

"Stupid idiot" she muttered walking past Miroku and to her sand art. She started to get into detail as she took off some parts of sand or added a little. The group watched her with interest.

"W-what happened t-to the s-shark?" Hinata asked

"Oh, it left" Arisa said as her art became more defined

"Where'd it go!" Naruto asked eagerly

"How should I know" she shrugged.

"Why did it go?" Tenten asked

"I punched it in the nose and it swam away" Arisa said convincingly.

'She drank its blood' Sasuke and Miroku thought at the same time.

Arisa stepped back from her sand and showed that the sculpture was of the ten of them in chibi form. Sasuke was sitting on the ground eating a tomato. Sakura was trying to hand Sasuke a flower. Tenten and Neji were throwing kunais at a cowering Miroku. Naruto was eating a bowl of ramen, while Hinata was cooking some more. Shikamaru was laying down pointing out a cloud to Ino, who was sitting next to him. And lastly Arisa was looking over the book she was reading and laughing at Miroku.

Everyone looked at the sculpture (Shikamaru too, he woke up at Miroku's scream) then they looked at Arisa.

"That is so…" Ino started off

"KAWAII!" all the girls, except Arisa, yelled taking out their phones and cameras to take pictures of it.

"How'd you know I liked tomatoes?" Sasuke asked Arisa.

"Well, every vamp I know does…except for me, I'm just weird… but doesn't it look so cute? I know now I should make one of you and Sakura kis-" Sasuke hit her on the head and glared at her telling her not to finish that sentence.

"Wha?" she asked innocently he shrugged and walked away. "Damn bastard" she muttered, though every one heard her and started laughing. Sasuke glared at her, now it was her turn to shrug and walk away.

"Ohhhhh! Lookie, it's a McDonalds!" Arisa yelled "time for lunch" she said running to the fast food place, quickly followed by everyone else except for Neji and Sasuke, who were too cool to run, and Shikamaru, who was too lazy.
