Chapter 5

Training and Entertainment

(Ten-Ten's POV)

Ten laps to run.

…Times three.

Thirty laps to run.

What am I a goddess that never gets tired!

This didn't even prove anything!

Since Gai-sensei was a my PE teacher I was used to running, but it was usually ten laps. THIRTY THOUGH! I couldn't run thirty! I probably could only run half.

We started to run at ten… at the night! Gai said that the youth should be used to the darkness of the youthful moon or something like that.

It's lucky the track is just a big '0' like thing so I wouldn't trip or fall in front of anything. My eyes were used to the night after the first lap or two so that was also good.

Right now I was one my twelfth lap. This was stupid. Shouldn't we train instead of run? I mean he was our P.E teacher so he should know that we run a lot. I want to throw something… maybe my shoe. But that's just a waste of energy.

Thirteenth lap…

I took a half an hour water break. Rock Lee (who I personally think is immune to being tried… and immune of having fashion sense) is a lap ahead of me.

'Great,' I told myself sarcastically as looked at my wristwatch that read eleven thirty five. 'I'll probably get to sleep at one and I'm already sleepy!'

That was half true. I'm not sleepy in the sense my eyelids are already half close and I would fall asleep in the track but I wasn't awake like I just drank two cups of Starbucks. It was more like when you take a nap in the middle of the day and when you wake up you're still a little tired.

Fourteenth lap…

The faster I run the faster I'll be done. I just need sixteen more laps. But I'm drooping already. I could feel myself slouch. I'm supposed to be a great athlete, why am I slouching? I should be running with all energy! …Not youthfulness, energy. But then again I'm only human.

"Pretend you're being chased," a heard a voice behind me.

'Am I already dreaming?' I thought to myself.

I turned around (still running) I saw Neji jogging. He was probably jogging to go with my pace, which is pretty nice that he'll run slower for me… great, now I'm sounding desperate.

"What?" I asked, as he was next to me.

"Remember in Kohana High, where there was lots of fan boys chasing you?" I nodded and Neji continued with his advice. "Well, pretend fan boys are chasing you and you'll probably run faster."

I smiled.

"Thanks," I said, trying to hide my excitement of him giving me advice.

"No problem. You have to stay fit so our team could win," Neji said.

He ran ahead of me but he turned around and jogged… now that's just showing off.

"Oh yeah, Gai-sensei said that he could stop after this lap," Neji said. "But we had to play basketball or tennis or any sports for at least ten minutes."

"Okay," I said, nodding.

At least that was good news. That and the fact I'm almost done running. I'll probably play basketball. I don't really know why, I'm just in the mood for it.

Done with running…

Finally! Just ten minutes and I'll be sleeping! Well, I have to brush my teeth and change into pajamas but those are just minor setbacks.

The basketball court was sort of small compared to Kohana high's basketball court. This one only had one court with a hoop at both ends while the one in Kohana high has like four more or something like that.

I grabbed a basketball that I found randomly and started to head towards the court.

"Hey, do you want to play one on one?" a voice asked behind me.

I smiled, knowing whom it was already.

"Sure," I said, turning to see who I thought it was: Neji.

So we started to play (A/N: I don't really want to go into detail because I don't know that much about basket ball) and talked while we played.

We didn't really talk about much just how we were, how we felt about this camp, and stuff like that.

I scored a basket. It's 5 to 1 with me having the five.

"You must be having an off night," I laughed as he was trying to block me from my shot.

"It's destiny," Neji replied.

This is my what I hate about Neji: he thinks everything is destine to happen. If you broke a leg: it was already destine to happen. If you fell in the mud: it was fate. If you picked the red shoe over the orange shoe: you were suppose to. You were born poor: you'll always be poor until it's written somewhere that you won't. I mean hasn't he ever heard of that 'Unwritten' Song by Natasha Bedingfield? It's like his interpret on life is the exact opposite of that song.

"How is that destiny?" I asked.

I notice that he stop trying to get the ball from me and he was looking at me looking serious.

"Your whole life is known before it happens. The friends you'll make, the enemies you'll have, when you'll die, and everything else is planned. It's destiny," Neji replied, his serious voice matching his serious look.

"…O-okay," I said, a little freaked out that he was serious and that I was sounded a lot like Hinata.

"Just remember everything is suppose to happen," Neji said.

He walked past by me but I didn't really notice since I was still thinking on why he would act so serious.

"Even who you date and end up with life but it sometimes a good thing," Neji said.

I wasn't looking directly at him but I know that he was still serious. This gave me a weird look in my face though. Is this suppose to be a sign that he likes me? Is this a sign that he doesn't?

I looked at the basketball. When I was a kid and when Sakura and Ino were in the mall and Hinata's parents wouldn't let her go to my house, I'd play basketball by myself. It sounds a little lonely but I invented a thing of imagining a decision and seeing if I make it.

Like one time when I was seven I said 'If I made this shot then I would eat a whole carton of ice cream' and I made it… I threw up after I ate the ice cream. But I still play the game. Like when I was fifteen or something like that I told myself: 'If I made this shot I would ask Neji to the up coming dance'. But I knew that I wouldn't really do it so I didn't try to make the shot that time.

I smiled at the memory and decided to play that game, which I call 'decision by a basketball'.

"If I make this shot then Neji and I will be together one day," I said.

…Again, it didn't make it.

"If I make this shot then I have a chance with Neji," I said, mad that I didn't make a shot, which is probably due to me being sleepy.

…It didn't make it!

"Am I not supposed to end up with Neji or something?" I asked myself. "…Wait. I'm sounding like a fan girl!"

My eye started to twitch… very much. How am I, Ten-Ten, voted most athletic girl in Kohana high, be a fan girl!

"This can't be happening," I said to myself, while my eye still twitched. I dribbled the ball again. "If I make this shot then I'm a fan girl of Neji."

…Now it goes in!

"What the hell!" I cursed, as I bounced the ball hard on the concrete floor.

I threw the ball so hard to the floor, it bounced up high and it hit my head.

"Damn it," I cursed again.

"Are you okay?" a boy asked from behind.

I quickly spun around and saw Neji.

"Yeah!" I said quickly, trying to sound cool and forgetting my head didn't hurt like hell. I calmed down a bit. "I mean yeah. So, what are you doing here?"

"Well, it's dark so I thought I'd walk with you to our cabin," Neji said.

I smiled coolly, trying to hide that I wanted to give a big happy smile like Sakura and Ino did when they found out that Uchiha Sasuke came out with a new CD or movie or when Naruto said hello to Hinata. "Okay."

When we turned around and started to head towards our cabin, I noticed something: I was still holding the basketball.

'If I make this shot then Neji likes me,' I thought to myself.

I threw the basketball behind me and turned around.

…It made it.

-----------------------------

(Sakura's POV)

"I'm scared," Chiyo said, clutching her journal in her hand.

Right now Chiyo, Megan, Nicole, and I were in Tsuande's office. Of course Chiyo would be scared… well, we all should be scared! Ms. Tsuande will give them our intern parts and since all of us have a hopeful intern part, we should be scared.

If we didn't get it then… well for Chiyo she would just nod and be disappointed. For Megan she'd be really mad and try to look okay, but when they're back in their suite she'd be beating up a pillow. And for me I'd just let Inner Sakura think her rude thoughts or even let Inner Sakura take over me… but that'll be a little weird.

Right now Ms. Tsuande wasn't here right now but her assistant, named Shizune, and was here. She said that Tsuande would be here in a bit. But I think it's really to build up tension. I mean I was sitting next to Nicole, who wanted the same intern thing as me: entertainment.

Even though Nicole was mean to me at first and sounded like a real… um… the b word.

Come on! It's easy to say! Nicole is a bitch!

Still even if Nicole was what my inner Sakura said, I wanted to be nice to her. I mean getting an enemy during this summer won't be good, especially since we live in the same place and she could spit in my drink or something like that.

"I hope you get the intern part you want, Nicole," I said to Nicole, who was filing her nails, trying to sound nice and actually meaning it.

Yeah right! I want you to get the one you didn't want! Or better yet let Tsuande say that you're bad and she'll kick you out of this internship!

Nicole stop filing her nails and looked at me. She had a smug expression on her face.

"Thanks," Nicole said sounding so sugar coated. She looked at me up and down, probably checking my clothes. "But I don't think I'd be needing it."

Nicole gave a scoffing laugh and went back to file her nails.

What the hell! You're the one to talk Miss I think dessert is evil! And Miss I think I'm better then everyone! And Miss... girl who has nice shoes! Damn it! Where did she get such nice shoes!

I folded my arms, scowled, and turned away from her and saw Chiyo give me a sympathetic look. Meg gave me a 'why-even-try-to-make-friends-with-her-anyway?' look.

"Sorry, I'm late," a probably twenties or so woman with blonde hair and carrying a little pig came through the door. This was Ms. Tsuande. "I had to go to Los Vegas for something very important."

"I told you not to gamble again Tsuande-sama," Shizune said to her boss.

Tsuande ignored Shizune and sat down at her chair. She looked at all of us. And not in a way that'll give a nice, 'don't-worry-I'm-your-friend' vibe but in a serious 'I'm-your-boss-so-don't-mess-with-me' vibe. I don't like that vibe.

"So," Tsuande said, as she stood back up and walked towards us. "You four were chosen because out of all the submits of the many hopefuls to be interns, yours were the best in their own way. It was different, which is what we wanted. For example, Chiyo, when you wrote your submit it sounded like an article for a magazine."

"Thank you, Ms. Tsuande," Chiyo said, monotone, as she nodded… or gave a small bow with her head.

"Now," Tsuande said, looking at all of us again. There goes that jolt in my stomach that gave me the vibe that makes me want to hide in a corner. "I'm going to tell you your internship part. I don't want any whining so just stay silent if you don't like it."

I gulped in fright while I saw Chiyo clutch her journal, Meg quivering a bit, and Nicole looking as confident as ever.

"Megan Pascual," Tsuande looked at Meg with a serious face. Megan quivered again but nodded. Tsuande smiled. "Fashion."

I silently giggled since Megan's face instantly morphed from scared to very happy.

"Thank you Ms. Tsuande!" Meg said, smiling like it was her birthday.

Tsuande turned to Chiyo with an other serious face. "Chiyo Nitta."

"Yes, Ms. Tsuande?" Chiyo asked, I noticed she was still clutching her journal.

"Editorial," Tsuande smiled.

"Okay!" Chiyo squeaked. "Thank you!"

Tsuande turned to Nicole. Did she skip me on purpose? "Nicole Spencer."

"Yes?" Nicole asked, as confident as ever.

I wonder if she has another personality then smug, thinking she's better then everyone, or confident. But I guess since Tsuande is her boss she can't be smug like to her.

"Beauty," Tsuande said.

I glanced at Nicole's face: it was stunned. I bet she knew that she was going to get entertainment but since she didn't she looked stunned.

"Okay," Nicole said, stilled stunned.

I heard Meg gave a chuckle Tsuande turned to me.

"Sakura Haruno, you have the entertainment intern part," Tsuande said. I smiled and was about to thank her, but she put her hand up to indicate for me to shut up. "Now Sakura, I gave you this internship part because you say that you're good at multi tasking. See, you would be doing little things like the rest of the interns but you will also be doing a big thing also."

"Okay," I said, nodding nervously.

"The big task is going to take all of your summer," Tsuande continued. "You're going to be following a celebrity to see what's really going on. It's sort of like a day in a life thing but it'll last for a whole summer. You'll be with him when he's when he's in the acting studios, at some parties he attends, sometimes in his mansion, but mostly in the recording studios since he's recording his third album."

"Who's the celebrity?" I asked, trying to stay calm.

"Well, he's coming here right now so you'll get to meet him today even though your job starts tomorrow," Tsuande informed. Someone knocked on the door and Tsuande smiled. "That's him. Shizune, get the door."

Shizune nodded and past by to me to get the door.

'I wonder who it is,' I thought in my head as I twiddle my fingers, which I did when I was nervous. 'I hope he's nice. I hope he's cute. I hope he knows Uchiha Sasuke so if I go to a party I could meet him.'

I heard the door close behind me. This was it. Well, I heard Shizune's voice so I didn't want to interrupt so I didn't turn around.

(Regular POV)

Chiyo gave a looked behind her shoulder and gasped. Meg gave a 'are-you-okay?' look to her and she nodded. Meg turned around and laughed.

"Why did Meg laugh?" Sakura whispered to Chiyo.

"See for yourself," Chiyo whispered back, smiling.

Since the room was silent (to silent) Sakura got up, turned around, and saw a certain raven-haired guy that would even make inner Sakura practically speechless.

Uchiha Sasuke?

And with that Sakura fainted.


A/N: Okay that the end of the chapter!

Next chapter: I have no idea! It's probably going to be Sakura again.

So please review but no flames!
