Chapter 6—Not that scary
Well, you could guess that everyone was dumb folded. (Well… not everyone)
BOOM!
Another thunder strike.
"…Are you serious…?" Tenten asked.
Everyone was staring at Kiba. Kiba stared back at them, wondering what was wrong with them, staring at him like that. "Er… yea?"
"How troublesome…" Shikamaru took his shirt, and put it back on.
"…" Neji, Sasuke and Naruto did the same thing.
"Why…?" Sakura asked, shaking her head at Kiba.
"Ohhh! That will be sooooo fun! Come on guys, let's play!" Ino yelled.

After a long, long, LONG time of persuading and threats, they finally got into a circle on the floor to tell scary stories to each other. Some of them still thought that it was a stupid idea, and the others (which was only 2) thought it was the best idea in the whole world.
"Okay, who starts?" Ino asked, grinning like a fool.
"I will…" Tenten volunteered.
Everyone looked at her. Well… Neji was just looking at her, with no interest. Sasuke was looking down on the floor, cursing in his head on how he got in this mess. Shikamaru was just muttering 'how troublesome' every now and then, also adding in a couple of sighs, which earned a hard smack from Ino.
With only one candle in the middle of the circle, and thunder striking once in a while, who could get the fact that it was a creepy place to be at that time.
"Ahem…" Tenten cleared her throat, pausing, for dramatic effect.
"Oh just get on with it!" Sakura yelled.
"Okay, okay, sheesh…" Tenten sighed.
"Well, this takes place in a hospital. You know the kind of hospitals that people go to when they die?" Everyone nodded their head.
Sasuke looked at Tenten briefly to look at the candle making shadows on her face before looking away. Shikamaru sighed as he tried to look interested in Tenten's story, even though he was bored to death.
"Well, there was this nurse, who works there. One day, when she was walking down the hallway, towards the elevator and she saw a little girl, skipping down the hallway.
The nurse immediately recognized one thing about her, so she quickly walked to the elevator. Just as the little girl was about to go in, the nurse pressed the close button." Tenten paused, while eyeing everyone.
"There was another person in there, who saw what she did.
The person asked, "How come you closed the door on her?" He asked.
The nurse turned to him and said, "Didn't you see the white paper around her wrist? Patients who wear that means that they had already died." She explained.
The other person smirked. He held up his wrist.
"You mean this?" Tenten finished.
Tenten looked at everyone to see their reactions, even though she could probably predict what they were going to say. Everyone else stared back at her, except for a couple who was just staring straight ahead without the a single thought.
"Uhh…" Ino said.
"A-Ano…" Hinata said, stammering.
"Fine, wasn't that scary! Ino, you go next, then!" Tenten said, crossing her arms.
Ino, who was next to her, smiled. The seating were this: Tenten, Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, Chouji, Shino, Kiba, Lee and Neji.
"Okay, I'll go!" Ino said.
"Well, there was once this pond in the back of a school. There was a legend said about it. 'Whoever looks at it, right at midnight, and see what is called the truth, will be scarred'. There are many kids who do not believe this, even though it had happened in the past. Teachers warn them about this, saying that it had happened to some teachers.
There was a group of 5 kids, who still didn't believe this. So, just before 3:00, they hid in the school, until it was 11:58.
The group consists of 2 girls and 3 boys. They were around the pond, with equal space between them. They held hands, and looked into the pond. There, they saw nothing but their reflections, and when the clock stroke 12, nothing happened. The children burst out laughing, and fell to the ground.
One girl heard something. It was not very clear, but it was like something was calling for her.
She quietly walked away from the group, and followed the sound. It was coming from the bathroom.
She went into the girl's bathroom, and looked around the stalls. But before she even got to the 1st stall, when she took a look in the mirror, she… had already… died…" Ino took a breath, looking around the group.
"What was that?" Sakura asked.
"Hmph! Like you could do better!" Ino screeched.
"How troublesome…" Shikamaru said.
"You're next, go Shikamaru!" Ino yelled in his ear.
Shikamaru winced.
"Nah… I pass… Hinata can go…" Shikamaru said.
"YOU CAN'T PASS!" Ino yelled, which caused almost everyone to wince.
"Fine… There was once this lady working at night. She worked overtime, and was gonna get home late. It was 12 already, she was walking home. Someone appeared in front of her, and she got killed. Happy?" Shikamaru asked.
"THAT WASN'T SCARY AT ALL!" Ino yelled.
"You didn't say it has to be scary…" Shikamaru said, scratching his head.
"WASN'T IT OBVIOUS?!" Ino yelled.
"Ehehehehehh… well… we should probably get to bed…" Kiba said.
"Yooosh! Lets get to bed and rest our springtime of youth so we can be youthful in the morning!" Lee yelled.
"What room are you guys in?" Kida asked.
"1…" Tenten yawned.
"5." Ino said.
"5…" Shikamaru said.
"3." Hinata said.
"4." Sakura said.
"3! Yay! I get to share a room with Hinata-chan!" Naruto yelled, jumping up and down.
Neji glared at Naruto, who immediately stopped jumping. Hinata started blushing, and Sakura grinned as she patted her on the back. Naruto slowly shrunk to the floor, looking up at Neji a few times to see if he turned his glare to someone else.
"…4…" Sasuke muttered.
"6…" Chouji replied.
"6…" Shino said.
"2!" Kiba said.
"Me too!" Lee yelled.
"1…" Neji said.
"Alright! That settles it! Goodnight everyone!" Kiba yelled, stretching his arms, with Akamaru running after him.

(Tenten's POV)
'I'm sharing a room with Neji… Oh my god…' I shook her head, as I bumped into someone.
"Ugh… Sorry!" I rubbed my head and looked up to see the person I bumped into.
It was Neji.
"Watch where you're going next time…" Neji said as he opened the door to the bedroom.
I narrowed my eyes at his back before standing up. 'The least he could do was help me up… such a great gentleman, he is,' I thought, rolling my eyes as I followed him through the door. I closed the door softly, knowing fully well that slamming the door would tick off Neji a bit. 'And I wouldn't want to get on his bad side now…'
The room was pretty fair. At least it looked a bit comfortable than the outside room. There was one thing that caught my attention though…
'1 bed?!' I widened my eyes at that sight. I snuck a glance at Neji, who didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that there was only one bed. 'Then again… we've slept together a lot of times on missions… why am I just starting to realize it now?'
Neji took of his shirt, and went into bed. I watched him, and shook my head. 'Okay, this is getting out of hand…' I thought as I blushed. 'He never did sleep without his shirt when we went on missions…'
I went to the other side of bed, and sat down. I took of the pink Chinese shirt, which revealed a white tank-top underneath. I slid down, and pulled the covers onto me. When I was settled, I looked over at Neji, who had his back faced to me. I stared at his back, watching to see any movement.
"Tenten… stop staring…" Neji said.
'Oh… right… he has Byakugen…' I thought.
"Sorry…" I said, trying to hold back a blush. I closed my eyes, to find no one other than Neji in my mind.
'That's right… I still can't give up! If he has no feelings for me… then I have to accept that and move on… all that matters is training now! I can't get emotions in my way.' I thought, as I fell asleep.

(Sakura POV)
'Sasuke-kun… is he really mad at me?'
'Noo! I've—er—WE worked too hard to get him to notice us! Hinata's right! Give him some space! And THEN! He'll be at our feet! Wahahahahhaha!'
I sighed. It was pointless arguing with the inner me. I looked around the room. There really was one bed…Sasuke was already in it, sleeping soundlessly. Or was he? I scrunched my brow before sliding into the opposite side of the bed. I stared up at the ceiling before asking Sasuke the question that bothered me.
"Sasuke? Are you still mad at me?" I asked.
I heard no sound.
'That's not space! What are you doing! You're gonna provoke him more!'
"Okay then… I'll give you some space…" I muttered.

(Sasuke POV)
I had heard what Sakura just said. I couldn't reply. I didn't know what I said had effected her so much. But… since when did I care?
'Look what you did! You are such an idiot! She'll never love us again!'
'Who the hell are you?'
'You're inner self of course!'
'Since when did I have an inner self?'
'For a prodigy, you really are dumb!'
'Shut up. Why are you here anyways…?'
'Wow… telling yourself to shut up…'
'Answer my question!'
'Well, I'm here to make you realize you LOVE Sakura!'
'You must be joking me…'
'NO! I'M SERIOUS!'
'Whatever…'
'YOU KNOW YOU LOVEEEEEEEE SAKURA! YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT! AHAHAHAHA!'
'Seriously…' With that… I knocked my inner self out.
'Finally… some peace…'
Sorry! I am like… SOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED! School has started and like, I had no time to do update! Sorry! And on some days, I was on the computer, putting this chapter together! Again, sooooo sorry! Okay, so this chapter is a little… I don't know… I thought of adding some romance; though it's not really romance… well…
