This is just a random chapter that I thought would fit in with the story. I know that it took me a while to update and I'm sorry but I've had testing almost all week and it took a lot out of me. Well here's the new chapter! Enjoy!

---Racing---

It's been a while since they have last eaten and they couldn't find the van. They traveled up and down the high way, well flew. The van couldn't be found anywhere. They even flew around two of the nearest towns.

"This is why we should have gotten one of those mobile phones." Kiba said looking around at the ground.

"But who would have paid for it." Gaara stated matter-of-factly.

"Plus, if the School found out they could have tracked us down!" Lee said, somewhat hyper.

"I know that but they found us anyway." Kiba looked at the others. I just sighed.

"Guys this is not the time to argue. We need to find the others." They all looked down towards the ground again.

- - - -

Kakashi looked around and sighed. "Gai, just admit it. We're lost."

"I am NOT lost. We just can't find the interstate." The other sweatdropped.

"Gai let me drive." Raidou said unbuckling his seatbelt.

"NO! I know where we are. Just give me a minute." They sighed and sat back.

"Gai you are so stubborn." Kakashi looked out of the window. Gai was impossible.

It was five minutes later that Gai finally let Raidou drive. They were on the highway in less than two minutes, Gai was just driving in circles. He was sitting in the back seat pouting.

"Come on Gai. Don't be like that." Raidou said smirking. He knew that it would get on the man's nerves.

" Your youthful-ness is...getting on my nerves." Everyone looked at Gai. It was the first time that he has ever said anything like that.

"Gai! What's your problem? Are you sick?" Genma asked putting his hand to the man's forehead.

"No I'm not sick. I'm just...it's complicated." The other laughed. Gai just looked at them and then back out of the window. "Hey, there goes the other youthful companions!"

"I'm glad that they are okay." Raidou said looking back at the road. Soon they were at a McDonald's parking lot getting some food. Gai seemed a little more like himself.

"So, where did you guys go off to?" Neji and the others looked at Raidou. They just looked around nervously.

"Well you see...um..." Genma said looking nervous.

"Just spill it already!" Kiba yelled.

"Alright. I got lost and we were about ten miles off of the highway on some foreign road." Gai said frustrated and a little mad at himself. (1) There was silence until someone coughed from holding in their laughter.

"What?!" Gaara's face was impassive. He didn't even look like he wanted to laugh. It was just how he was.

"You have to be kidding me! Gai-sensai you couldn't have gotten lost! Not you and your might-ness!" Lee looked discouraged. There was a little snicker from a random person. (A/N: They are in the van.)

"Well no one's perfect." Kakashi looked back down at his orange book.

"For a second there I thought that you were Iruka..." Kiba's eyes widened. "I didn't mean to say that." He waved his hands around frantically.

"It's alright." Kakashi sighed and put his book up, not up to reading anymore he just looked out of the window. "I just know that we are going to get them back. I just know it." They all nodded their heads.

It was about ten and they were flying again. It was dark but not to much so.

Lee was up ahead. His wings were spread wide. He was a really cool guy once you get to know him. A little on the hyperactive side but it was alright. Himself and Kiba were just the same.

Naruto sighed. He couldn't wait until it got back to normal. All of them enjoying the day, laughing and actually eating something non fast food. Not that it wasn't bad or anything, he just wanted a home cooked meal.

"Hey look at that!" Kiba said coming up besides me and pointing down towards the ground. It was some guys by cars. They had neon lights under them and they were blocking off some roads.

"I wonder what's going on." Neji looked down at all of the cars.

"Street racing." Gaara said in a cool voice.

"Oh! Like off of 'The Fast and The Furious'!" Kiba yelled over the wind.

"Yeah somewhat like that." Naruto said again.

"Can we go down there?!" Kiba whined. If it was possible to bounce up and down in the air, then he was surely doing that.

"I don't know. They others will be moving out soon." They were stopped for a while to switch and stretch.

"Awww." Both Kiba and Lee said.

"Just this once." Kiba said. I looked over at Neji and he just shrugged.

"Just for a few minutes." The two jumped into the air and Neji let a small smile fall onto his lips. We landed a few feet away from the road so no one could see us. We walked out and saw the most beautiful car ever. It was blue with a white Chinese dragon on it and flames behind it. It was just beautiful

"So, you like my car?" They heard this smooth voice. They looked up and saw a boy with purple tattoos on his face and a hood covering his head.

"It's just beautiful." Kiba said looking at it with wide eyes.

"That's good." He turned around and walked to the hood. He opened it and the engine work was all so wonderful.

"I see that you do like showing off your work Kankuro." Another boy can walking up to him and looked into the hood.

"What can I say?" The two chuckled. The new comer was a little shorter than him but not by much.

"So who are your friends?"

"Um...I don't know. I just saw them here looking at my car."

"Oh, sorry about that. I'm Naruto, that's Gaara, Neji, Lee, and the weirdo over there is Kiba. Kiba was walking along just looking at all of the cars in awe. The two just chuckled.

"Well I'm Kankuro and that's my friend Karasu (2)."

"Hey." He smiled at them. "So where's your car?" The others looked around nervously.

"Well we just heard that there was going to be some nice cars here and we wanted to see them so we thought that we would just come and check them out."

"Well you got here just in time." Another boy came walking up with chips in his hands and his mouth full.

"Shikamaru and Shino are about to race." They all took off towards the starting line.

"Go Shikamaru!" A girl with blonde hair yelled. The boy in the car just wave his hand out of the window.

"Hey, Ino! What's at stake here?"

"$10,000" They just whistled.

"That's a lot of money." Kiba said looking at random cars.

"Oh, I didn't know you met new faces." She said and looked at them all.

"Yeah, they wanted to see some cars." She just smiled.

"Well, I'm Ino. If you want to know about any car here then just ask." She gave them a friendly smile.

"Well, that's Kiba, Neji, Lee, Gaara, and I'm Naruto." I smiled to her and she turned around.

"Well, I'll tell you about the racers. Shikamaru there is a genius. Him and his dad built his car. It's a working wonder. He's also my boyfriend." She put in for her own props.

"Will you just get on with it?!" Kankuro sighed.

"Alright. Shino over there built his car on his own. He's obsessed with bugs of all sorts but he's really shy but fun."A girl with pink hair stepped in between the two cars and raised her hands. She stayed like that for a few seconds and Lee fell in love. He was just staring at her. She was pretty, though.

"Are you ready?" She looked at the drivers who nodded. She then dropped both of her arms and turned around to see both of the cars going fast.

"Whoa! Go Shikamaru!" Ino yelled, others yelled along with her.

Shikamaru smirked. Him and Shino have been wanting to race each other for a while. Now was their time. He looked at his computer and typed a few words and saw everything his car was doing. He looked up at the road for a second and then back down at this computer, he was the only one who could drive like this.

Shino looked over at Shikamaru and smirked. He was busy at his computer. "Fool." He said. He looked back at the road and saw the finish line. They were both doing the same speed and at the same time they hit the gas. Now they were going even faster.

"Come on." Shikamaru mumbled to himself.

They both got to the finish line and sighed. Nothing went wrong tonight. Their cars were just perfect.

"Yes!" Ino came running up to his car and kissed him on the cheek.

"So who won?" Shino asked. It was too close to know from the car.

"You two tied." She smiled and hugged Shikamaru when he got out of the car. He mumbled something along the lines of troublesome.

"That was awesome!" Kiba shouted from the crowed and with a reply everyone cheered their approval. He just smiled brightly.

Everyone started to clear the way for the next race. Shino and Shikamaru moved their cars for the next race.

"So who's the new kids?" Shikamaru asked motioning over toward Naruto and them.

"Oh that's Kiba, Naruto, Gaara, Neji, and Lee. They just wanted to see some nice cars." Ino said happily.

"Yosh!" Lee said.

"Your race was awesome." Naruto said with his famous grin. Shikamaru smiled lightly.

"Thanks."

"Hey Shikamaru, Ino, others I don't know." The pink haired girl from before walked up.

"Have my eyes deceived me or am I looking upon a beautiful angel?!" Lee said grabbing her hand. She just blushed.

"Um...hi." She looked at him and smiled. She liked receiving comments and she liked how nice this boy was.

"Sakura that's Lee. He's here with some of his friends." Ino laughed at her curious look.

"Really?" She looked around at the faces and noticed the new ones.

"Oh hi! I'm Sakura Haruno! Nice to meet you!" She smiled to them all.

"Well you know Lee over there, I'm Neji, that's Gaara, Kiba, and Naruto." Neji nodded at her.

"Cool." She looked at the car besides her. It had a cop CB(3) in it and cops were being called toward their direction.

"GO!" Shikamaru yelled. It became chaos when people were running off towards their cars and taking off. The cops pulled up and tried to stop some but failed.

"Let's go!" Naruto and the other ran off towards the woods. They made it there and kept running.

After a few minutes of running they stopped to catch their breaths. They were all frowning.

"That's going to be the last time we see them." They all nodded and took off flying again.

Destiny had a different plan for the newly made friends.

- - -End- - -

1. That was OOC but I thought that it fit.

2. That's Kankuro's puppet he uses during the Chunnin Exams.

3. That's what truck drivers and cops use to communicate with while in their vehicles.

Okay I know that was random but the next chapter was going to be full with sadness so I wanted to give you guys something cool. Plus, I had to introduce the other characters sooner or later. Well I hope that you like it and please review. Until next time. -Silver
