Kyoko: Here is another chapter my faithful readers! Thank you so very much for the reviews! Keep em coming. Honest opinions only. Anyway, I hope this chapter is enjoyable.

"Oh Youthful Hinata-chan!!" Said bushy brows as he hopped over to Hinata, Gaara and Sasuke.
"Don't you just adore my youthful camping outfit?" Asked Lee, bubbling with pride.
"Uhm,. Well.. It's rather… Er.. Youthful?" The bluenette said, trying not to laugh and barf at the same time.
"OHH yesss! I thought you'd think so. After all you're so youthful! That's why I got one of these youthful outfits made just for you!!"
"W-w-what? That's so… Erm.. Kind of you.. but uh.. My father is strictly against belly buttons showing." She said in a voice that sounded so much like Hyuuga Hiashis voice.
"Ahhhh…" Said Lee sounding slightly disappointed but regained his 'youthful' grin back fast.
"That's fine! Youthful Hinata. Maybe some other time.."
With that said the bowl cut boy bounded off back to Gai like an obedient and loyal puppy.
Hinata gave a sigh of relief, she was never a good liar but Lee believed her so easily, it almost made her feel sorry for the boy, but she would never wear an outfit like that, ever.
Sasuke stared after Lee and the outfit he was going to give Hinata. He thought it was a pity, though the outfits look horrid on Lee and Gai he thought it would look incredible on the lavender eyed teen.
Gaara was just about to try and engage Hinata in conversation when….
"ALRIGHT KIDDIES! LET'S GET GOING! WE'RE GOING TO HIKE, CAMP AND FEND FOR OURSELVES! YEAAAH BABY!"
The fifteen year-old female groaned at Irukas loud words. "And fend for ourselves!"
For one thing she was sure, she would not be the one who went to get food, and she would refuse and lock herself up in her tent.
Finally, Hinata, Gaara and Sasuke walked closer to the large group of boys.
Neji saw his cousin and walked over to her.
"Hey Hinata-Sama, How are you?" He asked, pure concern washing all over his face.
"I'm alright, you know just a bit worried. I hate camping."
"It'll be alright, don't worry. Hey, maybe we can get the same tent."
(Perverted inner Neji would be dancing around in his head.)
"That would be great, but I think Kakashi-sensei just said we had to tent with our cabin."
"Oh, that's a shame. Well let's definitely hang out, okay?"
"Yes, of course."
"Hinata-Sama I have to do something real fast, please excuse me for a moment."
"Yeah, sure."
Neji walked away from the group and went behind a tree, sneering some he dug through his bag and pulled out a Kakashi voodoo doll and started poking it with a needle.
"Curse you. Curse you. Curse you. Curse you."
Back with the others….
"So," Sasuke started turning his attention to Hinata, "We get to tent together, you know if you get cold you can always share a sleeping bag with me, I'm always warm and soft."
The indigo-haired girl turned a rather delicate shade of crimson.
Gaara turned the same color, only in rage not embarrassment. The teal-eyed giant spider killing boy could not believe that Sasuke had actually said that. Where is a damn lake when you need one?
"Oh, a river, that'll do" thought Gaara as he saw the river that was near the trail they would be taking.
"Uh.. Th-that's so nice of you Sasuke-kun, but I uh brought a jacket and my sleeping bags a thick one so… that won't be needed…" Said Hinata, blushing still.
Sasuke smirked, he would make this shy girl his somehow.
Five minutes later Neji rejoined the trio and the eleven boys plus Hinata and the camp counselors started walking down the trail, going through the woods and by the river.
Gaara tip toed to Sasukes side and smiled innocently, he held out his leg delicately causing the unsuspecting black-haired Uchiha boy to trip and fall into the river.
SCORE!
Gaara smirked evilly as Sasuke hit the water, lucky for the red-head the female Hyuuga was distracted by her overly protective perverted cousin.
Sasuke sprang out of the water quickly, his coal colored eyes seemed to have a red like tint to them as he glared after the red-head who was walking next to Hinata who was walking next to Neji who was walking next to Shikamaru, the four seeming to be laughing and having a good time.
Sasuke slung his back pack closer to his back and gripped his sleeping bag tighter in his hand as he started jogging to catch up.
"Hinata-chan!" the Uchiha called out as he finally reached them.
"Oh hey Sasuke-kun. Wait, weren't you with us the whole time?" she asked, confused that he had just ran up.
"And why are you all wet?" she asked, looking at his dripping wet clothes.
"Oh, I tripped and fell into the lake."
Both Gaara and Neji snickered.
Hinata frowned, concern filling her sweet face.
"Well, we've got to dry you up, we don't want you getting a cold or anything."
Sasuke didn't bother protesting as Hinata pulled her warm, soft towel from her backpack and started wrapping it around his wet frame. He breathed in her sweet lavender scent and smiled.
"Thank you Hinata-chan."
"No problem. It would be awful if you got sick." She said in reply, returning his smile.
Neji snorted. "Yeah, we wouldn't want you to die."
Gaara snorted as well. "I would."
Sasuke ignored them and started to try and get closer to the hime.
Neji looked at Gaara who smirked and nodded his tattooed head.
"Oh no! I'm tripping, Sasuke catch me!" cried Neji in a falsely dramatic voice as he started to fall towards the raven-haired teenager.
Sasuke jumped back slightly and Gaara took advantage of Sasukes unawareness to pull him and push him towards the river.
Splash. Another success.
Neji landed on his hands and hopped up off the ground, smirking.
Hinata blinked, confused by what she just saw.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Oh dear, I must have accidentally pushed him in when I tripped." Said Neji in a would be sorry voice.
Gaara had ducked down so Hinata wouldn't see him and crawled to Nejis side before standing up.
"Oh dear Neji, you should be so ashamed of yourself!" Said Gaara, now starting to laugh.
Everyone by now had turned to see what the splashing was all about, once they realized what they were looking at, simultaneously all the teenaged boys started hooting with laughter.
Sasuke literally sneered, showing his almost too perfect white teeth, getting up; he shook his wet raven hair.
Somewhere in the crowd Kankurou blushed.
After he was done getting everyone wet with his black locks Sasuke climbed out of the river, himself, his backpack, his sleeping bag and Hinatas precious towel soaked.
Hinata frowned at all the boys.
"Stop laughing!" she shouted before running over to Sasuke pulling another towel from her bag. Geez, how many towels can one backpack hold? Last time I checked my backpack could barely hold one… Uhm, anyways…
She wrapped it around him and started wiping his face with a handkerchief. Oh, Hinata you're too sweet for your own good. He only wants you for your body… Ooops, did I say that? -Coughcough-
Sasuke smirked at Gaara and Neji as Hinata walked him over to the group. He then leaned towards Gaara and Neji and started to whisper.
"All this trouble your causing me, is only making Hinata get closer to me."
Gaara smirked back at Sasuke, was this a bluff or did red here actually have another plan?
Finally, the boys got over Sasuke and started walking again, the other four fallowed suit.
Sooner or later, whatever, they arrived at the camp site. The sight was really something, a cruddy looking fire pit in the middle of the area and the whole site was surrounded by trees in a circular shape. It was boring, bland and frankly stank. Oh and the part about the sight being something was sarcasm if you didn't catch it…
"This is a shit hole." said Gaara and Sasuke in unison which only made the boys glare at each other, lovely, knives and daggers.
Oh boy, I can't wait to see what happens next.
Will Sasuke and Gaara eventually kill each other? And will one of them win Hinata's fragile heart? Will Neji successfully peak at his cousin when she is changing? Does Kankurou have a thing for Sasuke?
