Kyoko: Wow, so many reviews! Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! Well, here's your next chapter, sorry it took so long to update, anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Read and review!!!
--------------------------------------------------
The night went on like normal, except you know Gaara being chased around by a crazed Hyuuga boy who happened to have a metal bat that he swung around in each and every direction in attempt to murder the red-head and yes sadly their were casualties. Kiba ended up getting nailed right in the stomach, but he miraculously survived thanks to the 'power of youth' as Lee and Gai would say and don't forget what happened to the mischievous blonde Naruto, he didn't get hit by the bat of doom but as he jumped out of the way he tripped and hit his head on a rock and he has been out cold ever since, oh and we could never forget the misfortune that befell Sai, the black-haired boy was quietly minding his own business painting something near the fire when two teenagers came rushing towards him, in the crazy frenzy Sai somehow got tossed into the fire pit causing him to loose his arm hair, his leg hair, his right eyebrow and of course he received some minor burns. In the end it took all four camp counselors to hold back Neji and knock him out, right now said boy is currently laying in his tent…. with ropes constricting him…
And now you must be wandering what happened to our princess when she blacked out, well, Sasuke had the courteousness to take care of her, and of course you all might be a smidge suspicious about Sasuke being the one to take care of her with all his pervasion and what not but amazingly Mr. always-gets-pushed-into-some-type-of-body-of-water did nothing perverted at all to the sleeping beauty at least that we know of anyway.
Finally, we will now take a look at our prince, Gaara. Aforementioned boy is currently sitting by the fire on a log, his hands over his ears as he tried to block out the annoying pestering question of his fellow campers and counselors, Gaara sighed as he answered the same questions for what might be the fifth time.
"So you kissed Hinata?" Yes.
"You two an item then?" Yeah..
"She likes you, really?" Mhm..
"Wow, I never thought you would ever get a girlfriend." Yeah, I know. Wait, what?
At that moment Gaara took the liberty of pushing his doll loving brother off the log, now normally someone wouldn't get injured by falling off a mere log onto soft forest ground but Kankurou had bad luck and his head landed on a rock, evil little devils.
Somehow his other interrogators didn't seem to notice the lack of Kankurou and continued infernally pestering the sand-boy with pointless questions that seemed rather obvious, Gaara sighed and just ended up walking away only to be dragged back by the porn reader.
"Now now Gaara, we're not done just yet. So tell us why Neji was chasing you?" asked previously mentioned counselor.
"I told you all already. Hinata and I kissed and then Neji lost it and started to attack me." He explained again, sighing in utter irritation.
Lavender eyes shot open as a petite form jumped up from under her sleeping bag, she looked around the room to see two boys sleeping beside her, first she looked at Sasuke who seemed to have a scowl on his face even in his sleep, then she peered at Gaara and as she did so she blushed crimson, last night seemed like it was only a dream. Hinata touched her lips with her fingertips as she recalled the moment where she had so boldly kissed the red-head beside her, she smiled softly but then she couldn't help but frown softly, Neji-nii-san and Sasuke looked so infuriated and it was because of her again, she shook her head, trying to get rid her mind of any guilt filled thoughts she had, it seemed to work because then she felt curious what happened after she blacked out? Neji couldn't have hurt Gaara because Gaara looked perfectly fine from what she could tell so then, what happened to Neji-nii?
Hinata's thoughts were broken when she noticed beautiful aquamarine eyes staring up at her, next she couldn't help but stare at the smile Gaara had on his face, it was so out of his character but it was so him, if that makes sense, in any case his smile is beautiful and it suits him and Hinata found herself smiling back.
"Good morning love." He murmured to her softly as he himself sat up.
"Good morning Gaara-kun." She replied still feeling awed by his smile.
Un-expectantly Gaara had leaned towards her and kissed her very softly on the lips, which caused both of said teen's faces to light up with blushes. Gaara would then wrap his arms around her pulling her into his lap.
"Last night was insane," he chimed softly, "But it was all worth it." He said, running a hand through her soft indigo-hair.
"What did happen last night anyway?" Hinata asked him, her face covered with her classic tomato blush.
"Well," ….
As Gaara explained Hinata listened attentively, occasionally though she would gasp or cover her mouth in surprise and mutter a 'no way' or a 'Neji-nii-san did what?'
Once he was done telling the tale of last nights fiasco Hinata wasn't exactly sure how to respond, she didn't think Neji was ever that unstable, yeah sure she thought he was a smidge over protective and yes she thought it was suspicious when she caught him poking dolls with sharp painful looking needles but Neji always had an excellent alibi.
Hinata found herself sighing, still thinking about her crazy cousin, she wondered what they did with him…
"Hey, Gaara, what did they do with Nii-san?" she asked, moving around in Gaara's lap so she could look at him.
"Well, after the four counselors held him down and knocked him out they tied him up and put him in his tent." He said, rubbing her back some.
"Oh, I see. Maybe I should go see him…" she trailed off what Gaara narrowed his eyes.
"No, you shouldn't see him right now; you should probably wait till he calms down a bit more." He said to her sternly, as a reply she nodded.
Two days camping in the woods came and went quickly, the last day of camping was spent mainly with Hinata and Gaara hanging out and well flirting and what not, several times Hinata could have sworn she heard her fathers voice yelling through the trees telling her not to do the nasty. Gaara and Hinata also spent a lot of time avoiding Sasuke, Neji wasn't let out of his tent much and people weren't let in, when Naruto tried to talk to the Hyuuga he came out with a bloody nose, how Neji managed to do that with his arms and legs tied up no one will ever know because when people asked Naruto how all he could do was mutter something about voodoo magic and large needles.
On another note Kankurou was stalking Sasuke everywhere he went.
FLASHBACK
Kankurou was walking around the campground looking around for the raven-haired heartthrob, luckily for the puppet boy he saw Sasuke going into his tent, Kankurou fallowed silently and went into the tent after Sasuke.
"Hey, why do you have your shirt off?" Sasuke asked.
"Why do you have your shirt on?" asked Kankurou, giving the coal-eyed boy a seductive wink.
END FLASHBACK.
After that bystanders say that Kankurou had left the tent with a very red face, a nose bleed and a black eye.
"Dude, fucking finally." muttered Gaara, as he plopped himself down on his bottom bunk, sighing.
"Yes, camping really isn't my thing." replied Hinata as she dropped her backpack and sleeping bag on the ground near her bed, the girl was so relieved to be back at the cabin that she could cry.
Sasuke was actually already asleep in his top bunk, muttering something about how red heads are ugly and that he likes black lingerie which Gaara had twitched at and scowled, Gaara personally preferred red lingerie but uhm, ehem… We'll talk about that another day.
"KIDS!!!!!" a sickly familiar loud voice boomed through the cabin awakening anyone who was sleeping, "GET YOUR ASSES IN YOUR SWIMSUITS, GRAB YOUR TOWELS, SUN SCREEN AND WHATEVER AND HEAD TO THE LAKE, WE'RE GOING KAYAKING!!!!!"
A chorus of groans could be heard throughout the wooden building, damn, just got back and they swing another activity at the kids.
But none the less the fifteen year-olds did as they were told, changed into their swim wear, grabbed their towels and sun screen and then left the cabin and went on their way to the lake. As they walked Hinata was trying desperately to cover up her bright yellow bikini, for some reason she felt ten times more embarrassed now that her and panda were an item.
The whole way down to the lake, every time Gaara tried to touch her she would sort of twitch, so eventually he gave up and thought he might have done something wrong, sighing sadly Gaara just walked on to the lake, sulking.
Once everyone arrived at the shore of the lake many kayaks of every different color could be seen, Hinata looked somewhat impressed since she had never seen a kayak before, then she saw the double ones and she smiled to herself as she got an idea.
"Gaara-kun, do you want to share a kayak?" she asked, looking at him with her classic never gets old shy smile and tomato blush.
"Sure." He replied coolly, heading towards a blue kayak.
"OKAY YOU PUNKHOLES! PICK A KAYAK AND GET IN, SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE TO SHARE ONE! YOU HAVE TWO HOURS!" shouted Iruka, how does he get his voice so loud? It's like he has a megaphone or something, oh wait he does, haha silly me…
Gaara helped Hinata into the blue Kayak, once she was in and with a life vest on of course(Safety first!) Gaara pushed the small boat out into the lake and got in himself, everyone else fallowed suit.
Now that Gaara and Hinata were in the middle of the lake they stopped rowing and struck up a conversation.
"Hinata?" he asked, suddenly sounding somewhat serious.
"Yes?" she squeaked.
"Why is it that every time I try to touch you, you twitch and shy away from me? Did I do something wrong?" he asked, he was frowning but she couldn't see it since she was in the front of the kayak.
But before Hinata could give her answer something began to happen, it was an oddly familiar sound, that sounded like a mix between a dying cow and a yodel, suddenly two kayaks came into view, an orange one and a green one, the orange one had Kiba who was the one yodeling(Gaara sighed and shook is head in annoyance) the green kayak had Naruto and Lee who were currently standing up on their kayak, dancing like idiots.
(Gaara sighed again and shook his head again and then directed an icy glare at the three dumbasses.)
"Yo Gaara!!! Hinata-hime!!!!!!!!! It is us!! Your majestic knights!!!!" cried Naruto with his loud, obnoxious voice.
"Go away you retards." Replied Gaara coldly.
Hinata muttered a hi and continued to stare at the three boys, wondering if she should giggle or gag, considering what Lee was wearing. Rock Lee, the boy who could usually be seen wearing green clad spandex or something else that's green was today wearing something so repulsive, it was a very tiny and very tight, green with orange stripes swimwear, it was so small Hinata thought he might have taken it from a girl's swimsuit set. The thing barely covered him and it showed all his legs in all their white glory. The more Hinata stared the more disgusting it looked, she ended up looking away.
Gaara who was to cool to gape at the bowl-haired cut boy just glared icily, a look that clearly said: "You are messing up my alone time with Hinata, fuck off before I shove my paddle up your ass."
Lee, if he any normal boy would have cringed but since he's just 'oozing with youth' he did no such thing, he merely grinned, showing a set of unnaturally white teeth that resembled his legs.
"My youthful friends, let us have a race with these youthful kayaks, on this youthful lake!" he cried, rather over dramatically.
"Hell no, now beat it." said Gaara, looking impassive.
"Aww! Come on Gaara, don't be such a sour puss." Said Naruto, making a pout face.
"I said beat it." the redhead repeated, feeling extremely irritated.
Something else could have come out of Narutos mouth but Gaara used his paddle and pushed the blonde boy off his kayak who grabbed Lee and pulled him down with him, both boys hit the water with a splash.
"Now, Kiba, either you leave too or I'll have to shove you too." threatened Gaara evilly.
Kiba immediately sped away with great haste, leaving Lee and Naruto still submerged under the greenish water.
Gaara ignored aforementioned idiots and continued his conversation with Hinata.
"Well, Hinata, why?" he asked, his voice soft.
Hinata was about to answer him but once again interruptions never seemed to cease, damn it all.
Something was swimming in the water, see now normally Hinata would dismiss it but she could have sworn she saw a fin, Gaara was just about to ask what's wrong but before he could she screamed and jumped backwards, nearly causing the kayak to flip over.
"What is it Hinata?"
"Sh-sh-sh-SHARK!!!!" she screamed again.
Gaara peered over to where her shaking finger was pointing, indeed whatever was swimming in the water looked somewhat like a sharks fin but in Gaara's opinion it looked more like hair.
"Come on Hinata, a shark in a lake?"
Without warning the blue fin/hair popped out of the water revealing a blue skinned head of a man, who appeared to have gills on his cheeks and small beady-like gray eyes. The shark/man/fish/thing grinned at Hinata revealing sharp pointy teeth.
Hinata squeaked and looked quite frightened.
Gaara glared profoundly, "Why the fuck are you here Kisame?"
The thing…. Erm, person looked hurt for a brief period before grinning yet again.
"Oh you know," replied, "Me and the boys are here for camp, you know it's summer time, time for a nice vacation."
"So those other bastards are here too? Godamnit." Gaara seemed to be sneering.
"Whaaaat? Don't look so friendly Gaara." Kisame drawled sarcastically, "And yes those 'other bastards' are here too."
Gaara instantly whacked Kisame in the head with his paddle and then began to furiously paddle towards the shore of the lake causing Hinata to clutch the side of the boat in fear.
Gaara pulled Hinata out of the boat bridal style and ran past the staring eyes straight for the cabin.
"Well, hey Gaara, good to see you again." called a friendly voice.
"…….." was Gaara's response fallowed by a venomous glare.
"Aww, looks like he missed us boys." said the same friendly voice.
"What are you shitfucks doing here?" he sneered.
"Now now Gaara, don't be so cold, these nice young men are going to be staying here at the cabin with us." said the perverted counselor Kakashi.
"WHAT?!" …..Gaara actually shouted.
"Yep, their staying here." Repeated Kakashi boredly, peering at the orange porn book in his hand.
"Do you have any idea who they are?!"
"Why yes, yes I do."
"Then why in hell are you letting them stay HERE?!"
"Because I can."
"Bullshit."
"I think your scaring your girlfriend Gaara."
"Bullshit."
"Wow, little Gaara has a girlfriend? No way!" another voice exclaimed, sounding shocked.
"Bullshit." said another different voice.
"Your face is bullshit! Ahahaha!!" another voice started.
"Shut up Tobi."
"You shut up Deidara."
"All of you shut up!"
"Fuckface!"
"Retard!"
Hinata couldn't exactly keep track of all the different voices, she couldn't even see them either because Gaara had her face shoved into his bare chest, not that she minded or anything…
Then Hinata could hear the front door burst open.
"ITACHI I'M GOING TO RIP YOU TO SHREDS!!!" shouted none other then duckbutt hair cuts voice, he wet and shirtless, one could asume someone flipped his kayak.
"Hey isn't that your brother Itachi?"
"Yeah, I guess."
Somewhere Kankurou squealed and blushed. Oh my! He's shirtless! Get the camera!! Get the camera!
Hinata could feel Gaara moving and then she could hear more angry shouts from Sasuke, a 'foolish little brother." From this Itachi person, a 'hey he has a duckbutt haircut.' From some other guy, she could hear distant shouts of 'Get the camera!', a few loud bangs, some cynical chuckling, a few annoyed sighs, an 'oof' and then finally a 'is he dead?'
Somewhere a long the way Gaara finally put her down but kept his arms protectively and possessively around her and he held her rather close. Hinata gasped as she took in the sight before her.
There were seven unfamiliar men standing in front of her, one of them looked a lot like Sasuke, she figured that one was Itachi, and Itachi had his fist raised as if he had just punched someone, indeed he did punch someone and that someone was Sasuke, she fallowed Itachis fist and saw that Sasuke had been punched into a wall.
One of the men was quite attractive with long blonde hair pulled half up, a long piece of blonde hair covered one of his eyes, the one eye that wasn't covered was a beautiful blue color. He noticed Hinata looking at him and smirked.
"Hey sweety I'm Deidara." He greeted her with a wink.
Hinata blushed and look towards the one standing next to Deidara, he was a redhead like Gaara, only his hair was a twinge paler then Gaara's, he too was very good looking with pale brown eyes, he gave her a small smirk.
"Sasori."
Then she looked at the one standing near Sasori, she couldn't tell what he looked like because he wore an orange and black swirly mask, but Hinata could tell that he had spiky black hair.
"I'm Tobi!" he said in a overly friendly childish voice.
Next to Tobi was a man with short green hair and golden eyes, he gave her a sort of creepy smiled and said that his name was Zetsu.
Near Zetsu was a man with slicked back white hair and pretty violet eyes. He said that his name was Hidan.
And finally the last unfamiliar man had medium length black hair and creepy green eyes, when he introduced himself before saying his name he asked if Hinata had some money, his name is Kakuzu.
"Uh… Nice to meet all of you I'm Hyuuga Hinata… And uhm, is Sasuke-kun okay?" she looked over at Sasuke again a bit concerned.
"He's fine, he's fine." Said the voice of Itachi, he smiled warmly at her as if they were the best of friends.
If possible Gaara pulled Hinata closer and continued to glare atrociously at these new 'friends'.
"Anyway, Hinata-chan, these boys will be staying her in the cabin with us for the rest of the summer." explained Kakashi, who Hinata forgot was there until now.
"Oh." she murmured looking up at Gaara who only smiled weakly before continuing his glaring.
Hinata peered back at Sasuke who was now staggering to get up, he glared at Itachi with utmost hate, he was even sneering.
"Kakashi! Why are these shit licking bitch fucking cocktards here?!?!" demanded Sasuke, shaking with rage.
"Well," said Kakashi in a kind voice, smiling behind his mask, "These shit licking bitch fucking cocktards are staying here for the rest of the summer as I already explained to Hinata-chan."
"I asked why you lazy pervert." sneered Sasuke.
"Well, that's a secret for now." Kakashi chuckled and then left.
Hinata cringed; she had never seen Sasuke and Gaara so angry before were these new people that bad? They seemed friendly enough…
"Anyway, as long as you worthless piles of dog vomit are staying here you better not ever go near Hinata, or I will personally see to it that you are murdered in the most excruciatingly long and gruesome way possible." Gaara warned.
The older new boys just looked amused at Gaara's warning.
"Itachi…. I will kill you." drawled Sasuke angrily.
"Right, well until then little brother do you know where we're staying?" Itachi asked, looking around the cabin.
Hinata didn't really know what was going on but so far she thought these people seemed okay and yet she couldn't help but dislike them slightly; after all they were making Gaara and Sasuke look so atrociously hostile, she wondered what happened in the past.
"Anyway sweety," chirped Deidara, "You can call us the Akatsuki if you like but you can also call me in the middle of the night when you're lonely…." He trailed off with a wink.
Hinata instantaneously blushed scarlet, while Gaara and Sasuke turned red do to extreme anger.
"Wait where are we staying?" asked the Sasori person.
"Not sure, that old pervert didn't say anything." replied Hidan.
"Damn, what a drag." said Zetsu, sighing some.
"Well, we could always stay in Hinata-chans room." chimed Deidara.
It all happened so fast Hinata could barely blink, suddenly she was flung to a nearby couch as shouts of 'you sick bastard!', 'over my dead body', 'that can be arranged', 'go to hell', 'you're a dead man' and 'you fucking pervert if you touch her I'll rip your balls off' were heard throughout the cabin.
And that's when Hinata knew that it really would be a long summer.
