I'm really sorry for the absence of updates, guys. School's left me winded! I was in a play! I played the Bargewoman! Don't ask...it's something my Lit teacher dug up from a pile of disney crap that wasn't good enough for the big screen . The Play was called The Mad Adventures of Mr. Toad! Lol.

Everyone had to put on makeup for the play...everyone. The guys included! I got to help them put on eyeliner, foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush! Some of the guys i had to help : Jake, Joey, Nick, Alex, Chris, Connor, Victor, Mossimo, Grant, Joe, David, and a few others. The easiest to work with were Jake and Moss. Jake's eyeliner was amazing! I need to pick up some O dat! Moss didn't blink once when I was doing his mascara! YAY! I love my boys! You're lovely people! Lol.

Anywaaay! Thanks for putting up with my lateness! And due to many requests, This chapter is focused more on the ladies! All I can say is....*cough*sasuhina*cough* I really should take some meds for this cold! I luv you guys and I hope you enjoy this chapter!!

Disclaimer- No, I don't own naruto or anything affiliated with it...if I did there would be more Itasaku and Sasuhina moments! (among others)

That Is My No No Square

INO's POV.

Ugh, I can't believe this happened in a haunted castle. I mean couldn't Hinata have gotten lost in a mall or something?! This place is effing creepy! I took out my compact and used it to check around the corner...WHAT? I can't help it if I'm a little paranoid when I'm in a dark, scary, crap-your-pants castle!? I heard a creaking noise and I jumped. 'Think of shopping, think of shopping, think of shopping!' I kept on repeating this little mantra to myself like my life depended on it.

"Hinata!" I called, knocking on one of the doors to my left. It opened when my knuckles made contact with it. I was about to walk inside when i heard a thousand tiny screeching noises. I looked down in horror. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

.......mice......

I turned on my heel and ran. I ran faster than I did at Sakura's birthday party when the clown tried to pull a quarter out of my ear! DAMN YOU, BOZO!

I ran down the hallway, made a right, a left, went down some stairs, up some more stairs, down another hallway, and made a left. And right when I turned the corner, I slammed into someone, sending us both flying. I landed on top of Shikamaru. "OWww!"

Shikamaru sighed and made a face, "Ino...do you mind? You're invading my personal bubble"

"What bubble?"

"The one you're invading," he replied, like it was some sort of well known fact that was up there with 'Bill Gates is the richest man alive!'

I frowned. " I see no bubble..."

"Stop! Don't touch me there, that is my no no square. R A P E, stay the hell away from me!"

The pair stared at Neji. "I'm only repeating what I heard from Sai earlier."

"Wow."

"Ugh. Ino, Please just get off me!" I rolled my eyes.

"All you had to do was ask."

"So," Neji interjected, "What, exactly, were you running from?"

"A pack of mice, bent on destroying my Prada..." The guys just stared at me without a word. "What?" I asked, dusting myself off. Neji shook his head. Shikamaru just averted his eyes and began banging his head on the nearest wall. "While we're talking...why the hell are you here?!" The pair looked at each other.

"Sasuke."

With Sasuke and Hinata (General POV)

"Oww.." Hinata groaned, attempting to stretch out her leg. Sasuke had fallen on her when he fell through the trap door. Sasuke shook out his arm, knowing that it would have a rather large purple patch on it in the morning. He made his way over to Hinata.

"You okay?" He asked. Hinata shook her head, a single tear slipping from her eye. "Here," Sasuke gently pulled her leg out and looked around for something he could use as a temporary splint. His gaze fell on a chair and he thought ' why the hell not?' He whacked it against the floor and took two of the legs.

Sasuke sat next to Hinata and braced her leg with the chair's remains using a piece of curtain to hold the brace together. Hinata's sniffles didn't stop there. Sasuke contemplated his next action. He'd seen something like this during movies. Sasuke sighed and decided that it couldn't hurt. He pulled Hinata into his lap and cradled her, delicately, to his chest.

"S-Sasuke kun?" Hinata hiccupped.

"Shh..." Sasuke replied. And the silence was not awkward at all...maybe a little, but isn't that how love starts out?

TenTen's POV

"HELLO?!" I yelled. "HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" When I realized nobody could hear me, I screamed and kicked something in the dark. I heard a CRACK! I looked in the direction of the noise and saw that It was the fireplace I had kicked, and that the back of it had fallen down. I saw a glimmer of hope..I mean light, shining through it.

"YES!" I yelled "TAKE THAT, KARMA! YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!" (A/n this will get explained later in the story. kk!)

A piece of ceiling decides to land on my head at that moment...

"UGH!"

I crawl through the rubble and keep crawling until I come to the end. The tunnel opened into another fireplace. This one was in a warmly furnished bedroom. It looked as though it had just been slept in. It was also incredibly clean; no dust anywhere. I pulled myself out of that musty crap hole and straightened myself out.

"Daang!" I walked over to the bed. The covers were a silky crimson, embroidered with a spiraling gold design. The drapes around the bed were the same bold crimson. "Who designed this place?" I murmured to myself, feeling the smooth fabric. "Who lived here?"

"I did."

Shit.

There it is! Hope you liked this chap. :-) Next one soon. Btw, this story might be divided into several smaller stories. Not sure. If you want me to try that for a while put it in a review or a pm. Have a nice morning (updated this at like 2am, my time)

Review?...pretty please?
