Megami: Why is it I always start this?
Gaara: Cause your a scrolling demon...
Ukime: Hehehe... XD
Neji: She's laughing. That's not good.
Megami:When is either of us laughing good?
Neji: Never...
Gaara: a valid point, not as valid as a disclaimer, who hasn't done it yet?
Megami: Me I think...
Ukime: Then do it! Do it up!
Neji: Do you realize how awkward that phrase is?
Megami: I like it! What I don't like is not owning Naruto...that makes me sad...
Gaara: Thats not a good thing either.
Megami: I do however own a stuffed panda I named Gaara and a stuffed cheetah I named Ino!
Ukime: I have a stuffed penguin named Neji! XD
Neji:...Anyway. It's rated M. You should know why at this point.
Megami: TO THE MENTAL CHILD OF ME AND UKIME!
Chapter 4- Mind Muffins
Ino woke up and from how her body was facing the wall know she was not in her bed. Then she got confused. last thing she remembered was the redhead giving her something to drink...wait it must have been spiked! Damn her luck, then she noticed something else, there was more skin touching the sheet then usual...looking down she saw only her bra. Damn it all! She moaned in pain from the sudden hangover, of course she would get one that pounded so hard it was like someone banging on a door...wait there was someone at the door. Ino got up, to pained to think about taking the blanket or a shirt with her and opened the door to find the redhead there. Before he could say anything she slammed the door and ran for a shirt, completely lucid and still in pain. She slipped the over sized Trading Yesterday shirt over her head and opened the door again.
"Sorry..." she said meekly.
"It's fine, I saw it last night, as of now I don't want to see it again." The redheads companion said. She blushed, that confirmed it, she had stripped last night at the party and not in her sleep.
"Sorry...I'm going to check on Tenten. Stay right here, although she might be a little more decent than I was..." Ino trailed off again leaving the door open. Neither boy looked in, or even bothered to try. "Tenten.." Ino said waking the other girl, chocolate eyes met blue ones.
"What?" She asked groggily.
"Um, guys are here...two, the ones from across the hall. I smell coffee and muffins." Ino said. Tenten shot up, throwing Ino's purple blanket off her and was indeed more decent than Ino was last night. The blond flinched and Tenten rushed to the door.
"Come in!" she said sunnyly. Ino again flinched and wandered into the bathroom for some aleve or something. Anything that would help with the pain, probably a moot point due to her and her mothers resistance to pain meds. She rummaged through the cabinet and found nothing...nothing at all, not even toothpaste! She heard the deep gravely chuckle from the doorway and turned to see psycho boy, and the man who sent chills down her spine. It was still a bad thing they were good chills. He was holding a bottle of aleve in his hands. She lunged for it, killing her head more, but not caring. Lunging landed them both on the floor, him still chuckling, infuriating her more than the fact he was keeping the meds just out of her reach.
Tenten nervously fidgeted while Neji and Gaara (was that his name?) stood in the living room/only clean spot of their dorm. Tenten wouldn't really call it a living room, but that was it's name, for lack of a better word. Ino went into the bathroom and Tenten heard her sigh. Gaara walked in that direction with a strange look on his face. Tenten crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Neji.
"Morning." She said.
"Morning." Silence.
"Soooooo," Tenten dragged on the 'o' for a few seconds.
"Gaara and I were wondering if you two would like some breakfast. It's Sunday, the small cafe on campus isn't open." He said, looking around the dorm. She realized how messy it was and felt self conscious, for some strange reason.
"I'm sure Ino won't mind." Suddenly, Ino sort of tackled Gaara out of the bathroom, both of them landing on the floor. Gaara held a bottle of pills just out of Ino's reach. She made a strange moaning sound while she reached for it. Neji looked at them incredulously. Tenten lifted an eyebrow and cleared her throat. Gaara and Ino looked at her, Ino smiling like an idiot. Gaara had an indistinguishable look. Neji rolled his eyes, which Tenten noticed were pale lavender, and took the pills from Gaara. He handed them to Ino. Ino stuck her tongue out at Gaara and sat on his stomach in revenge. She took the pills, dry swallowing them, and waited until they were settled before she got up. Gaara got up after her and stood between her and Neji.
"How about it, Ino? Can you contain yourself for breakfast?" Tenten asked. Ino nodded, glancing at Gaara. Gaara chuckled and looked at Neji.
"Alright. Come over whenever you're ready." Tenten nodded and the boys left. Tenten and Ino quickly showered and headed over, the smell of muffins and coffee filling their nostrils.
Once Gaara was back in the room had half-heartedly glared at his friend.
"You ruin all my fun." He said and Neji chuckled.
"The poor girl needed them, and you were being awfully mean." Neji said sitting on his bed. The red head raised a non-existent eyebrow.
"I gave her your pills." He said. Neji's eyes widened.
"You did not." He denied. Just then the blond came in, she handed teh pills to Neji.
"Your name was on the bottle." She said by way of explination and went stright for the coffee, Gaara noticed the sunlight glinted off her wet hair. He wondered to himself why he would notice that when she attacked a muffin non to lady like, a muffled narm coming from her mouth. Neji was glaring at Gaara when Tenten, hair in it's customary buns went straight for the coffee, no hello or anything. Neji then stopped glaring and exchanged a look with Gaara. A cross between, 'that was rude' and 'WTF'. Ino then poured herself a cup of coffee, putting plenty of sugar in and stirring the cup sat on Gaara's bed.
"SO I dont' know either of your names, and if I learned it after I was drunk last night I don't remember a thing." She said flipping her long blond hair, which was still wet and therefore causing Gaara's bed to get wet. He looked a tad ticked off but didn't move to do anything about it, just say next to her. Tenten grabbing a muffin and napkin sat next to Neji.
"I'm Neji and this is Gaara" He said making the appropriate motions to who was who. Ino nodded and stood for another muffin. Gaara found himself watching her move again...
"So now I want to know who can do what." She said hoisting herself onto the counterish thing in the kitchenish area of the room, and 'narming' the new muffin.
"Is it any of your business." Gaara said.
"Probably not, but I can always find out against your will." Ino said with an evil smile.
The way Ino threatened them, partnering it with that evil grin, Neji didn't doubt that she would force them. Neji remembered how Gaara had complained earlier. He had complained about how Neji had ruined his fun. Well, this would be Neji's fun.
"You should have Gaara tell you the story. It's quite interesting." Neji said, making Ino and Tenten draw their eyes to Gaara, and making Gaara glare at him. His look said 'I want to kill you. Slowly.'
"How about you share first." Gaara said.
"Why? I asked first. Stop stalling." Ino said, leaning closer to Gaara. Gaara kept his gaze, not moving once.
"Oh my..." Tenten said, probably annoyed with the little competition between Gaara and her roommate.
"I can control minds. Did you know that?" Ino said , her blue eyes locking with Gaara's seafoam.
"No, I didn't know that." Gaara said in his low voice. "I'll write that down on my list of things I know about you." Ino's eyes lit up with amusement, and seemed to turn slightly darker.
"I could make you take your pants off and run around the room if I wanted to." Neji didn't know if she was lying or telling the truth. He really didn't want to find out. Without looking away from Gaara, Ino did a sort of hand motion, probably to add a dramatic effect, and sent a muffin flying at Gaara's face. Before it could hit his face, a burst of mysterious sand flew out of nowhere and blocked the muffin. Ino stared in amazement, her eyes darkening slightly. Gaara hadn't even moved. Neji, being used to it, wasn't phased.
"Cool." Tenten said. Ino directer her attention to Neji, having enough details for the moment.
"Can you deflect a deadly muffin?" She asked. Neji said nothing, only looked at her. Ino smirked at him, trying to find the right moment to launch the muffin. He looked so... Calm. SHe wanted chocolate to be smeared allllll over his face. She launched the muffin. With lightning quick speed, the muffin flew at Neji. It would have hit anyone else, but he slapped it away like an old woman had tossed it. Ino cocked her head to the side.
In the time it had taken her to launch the muffin, Neji had activated his ability, known as Byakugan. In one quick glance, Ino saw it all. He had the ability to manipulate time without anyone noticing. So, in his time frame, it had been just like an old lady tossed it.
"Awesome." Ino said, looking at her new friends. Neji looked at Tenten.
"What about you?" He asked, watching her perk up a bit.
"I can control all metals and I am a weapon's master." Neji and Gaara nodded. The four continued eating breakfast, Ino throwing muffins at Gaara and Neji to see if it had been a one-time thing. She threw one at Tenten, expecting the same thing. It bounced off her forehead.
Ukime: First one! XD Bite that, society!
Megami: *noms Ukimes arm* I did!
Neji: Ukime won this round. Let her have her fun.
Megami: She said to bite her!
Ukime: True, I did. And I like it. *purr*
Gaara: You are the weirdest twins I've ever met...
Ukime: Yep. :)
Megami: Review or the strangeness shall melt your feeble minds!
Neji: Review or Ino will mind throw a muffin at you.
Ukime: Review and I will not eat the mind muffin!
Gaara: Mind muffin?
Megami: Yes mind muffin! *nom nom nom* *throw*
