Author's Note: Sorry, duckies! Haha, here it is, fresh and hot from the comp. I didn't edit it or anything, so it may have some mistakes. Does anyone wanna be my beta? :D It'd be pretty easy since I don't often update.

Chapter 5

"Shit Kiba! Get the hell off of me! You're drooling on me!"

The brunette spluttered and his eyes snapped open. "Don't touch the pickles!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What the hell man?"

Kiba put his head in his hands and mumbled incoherently. He groaned and slowly lifted his head, "It was horrible, I mean, all these innocent little pickles were going to get killed by the giant packs of sauerkraut!"

"Whatever man. Just don't sleep on me next time you fall asleep."

"Hey! We're buds aren't we? And you chose to sit next to me on this trip!"

"And you just drooled on my new ski jacket! But hey, nobody's complaining right?" He eased back into the uncomfortable coach bus chair and tried to find the least awkward position. "How do you sleep on these? They're lumpy as hell!"

Kiba grinned, "You're just fussy."

"I expected somewhat of an acceptable form of transportation!"

"You should shut your whining, Naruto. Some classes didn't even get to come."

"Holy Shit!" The two boys jumped up from their seats as Kakashi appeared before them with his orange book. He smiled and waved.

"Hello, boys."

""Why are you on this bus, Kakashi-sensei? Aren't you supposed to be in charge of a different class?" Kiba asked.

His eyes turned into upside down U's (A/N: The anime happy face.) "Ah, but I'm here to so see my dolphin."

"Oh, sorry, we forgot you were a perverted lecher for a second." Naruto snickered and nudged Kiba. They high fived and looked smugly at the silver haired teacher.

"Funny, but remember, the one you call a perverted lecher can make this trip so much more fun for you guys."

Naruto cocked an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? How so?"

Kiba gasped, "You're not gonna molest us are you?!" He shot up from his seat. "Cos' that's not gonna be fun!"

Kakashi chuckled, "Boys, don't be silly. You two are way too over imaginative. I only have eyes for dolphins." He closed his book and slipped it into his vest. "Lets make a proposition. If you manage to 'convince' Iruka to go to room 201 in the ski lodge, then I might manage to extend this trip." He smiled from beneath his mask. "How 'bout it, boys?"

The blonde scratched his chin, "And how are you gonna manage to do that?"

"I have my ways." Was all the older man said.

Kiba sat back down and grinned. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm in. I'll do anything to not go to Gai-sensei's gym class this week."

Naruto smiled. "Okay. You got yourself a deal!"

"Deal? What deal?" Iruka looked at his two students and glanced at Kakashi. "I thought you were in charge of the third years."

Kakashi smiled. "I am, my love. Just stopped by to say hello to my favorite students." He said, patting Kiba and Naruto on the head. He nodded his goodbye and walked away.

Iruka looked at the two boys weirdly. "What did he say to you two?" Kiba shook his head and Naruto shrugged. "He didn't lay a finger on me. That's strange." Iruka sighed and shook it off. "Well, all I want to say is behave. I know you two are the pranksters of my class. You may be tempted to trip someone off a hill of push them off the ski lift but hold in your wild sides. I know you two can be good boys."

Kiba laughed. "Wow. Iruka-sensei thinks we're really bad."

Naruto grinned mischievously. "He just gave me a fabulous idea."

"Sasuke!" The raven turned and saw the blonde walking towards his seat. He grinned and took the empty seat next to him.

Sasuke stared at the boy next to him.

"What?" The blonde asked innocently.

"Why are you sitting here?"

Naruto grinned. "Do you know how to ski? I know how to ski! I can teach you if you want!"

Sasuke leaned away as Naruto's face got closer with every enthusiastic sentence that came out of his mouth. "Look, Dobe, I don't need your help. I know how to ski." He made a face. "And even if I didn't I doubt I would be asking for your help."

"Ehhh?! But why!?"

Sasuke stuck a finger in his ear. "Do you mind? I plan on using my ears in the future."

The blonde bounced up and down in his seat. "Come on, Sasuke! Let's ski together later!" He grinned and put his face inches away from the raven's. "Okay?"

Sasuke pushed his face away, "I thought you hated me."

"Great! So we're skiing together later!" Naruto hopped out of his seat and walked back to Kiba.

Sasuke inwardly rolled his eyes and returned to his book.

---

"Alright!" Iruka called out loudly, trying to project his voice over the howling wind. "Those who don't know how to ski will follow me! I will bring you guys over to the instructors! Those who do will either start skiing with the equipment they brought on their own or go and rent some from the lodge! We meet back at the ski lodge at 6:30 PM sharp for dinner! Make sure none of you lose your ski passes, because it's going to be a hassle trying to get another one. Zip up, and ski safely!"

Naruto waited until the brown headed teacher was out of sight. He turned to Kiba next to him and grinned evilly. "Let Plan-Sabotage-Sasuke begin."

"Dude, I'm not sure if this is a good idea. I mean, what if you accidentally kill the dude?"

"Psh. Don't be ridiculous, Kiba. I have a wonderful life ahead of me; I won't waste it by going to jail ."

"But aren't you gonna push him down a mountain or something?"

The blonde scratched his chin. "Hmm. Tempting, but no. I plan on-" Naruto clamped his mouth shut as soon as he saw the familiar raven hair bobbing his way towards them. "Do not mention P.S.S. when you're around him!" He whispered quickly to Kiba. "Sasuke!" Naruto grinned, "Are ya ready to ski with me!?"

"Hn." The raven sighed inwardly. He knew he was probably going to regret this later. He could just feel the blonde planning his doom.

"Great! Just let me drop off some stuff at the lodge! I'll meet you right back here." The blonde smiled and grabbed Kiba and they walked quickly to the wooden lodge. "I checked the list for the assigned room numbers. Sasuke's is 809. I'm gonna booby-trap his whole room." He grinned, "Then after all that yummy shit, I'll let in some fangirls to ravish him on the spot." Naruto threw his head back and cackled evilly.

Kiba looked at his best friend weirdly. "You are such a freak. And I thought it was gonna be some sort of genius plan!"

"It IS!" The blonde insisted.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Kiba grunted and pulled his wet sneaker out of a pile of snow. "Jesus Christ, my new Jordans.."

The blonde shook his head at his friend. "Who the hell wears sneakers to a snowy mountain?"

"They're fashionable!" Naruto opened his mouth to speak then closed it. He gave Kiba a weirded out look and continued walking. "What?"

"You give me a hard time believing you're straight, Kiba. Who the hell dreams about pickles?!"

"Hey, hey! At least I'm not the transvestite."

Sasuke locked his feet into the snowboard and got up. He looked at the idiot blonde next to him, having a sword fight with the dog boy using the ski poles. He scoffed and placed on his snowboard goggles.

"Fuck, man! That hurt!" Kiba rubbed the spot Naruto hit.

"Haha, that's another two points to me!" The blonde did a little victory dance and beamed.

Sasuke crossed his arms, "Are you guys done yet?"

Naruto looked at the raven in surprise. "Whoa. I forgot you were there." Kiba snickered at the incredulous look on Sasuke's face and cleared his throat.

"Yeah, we're done. Let's get to it." Kiba walked over to his snowboard and buckled himself on with practiced expertise.

Naruto looked at his rented snowboard blankly. The night before the trip, he looked for his skis but he forgot that he lent them to Naruko last winter and she had accidentally flung it off a cliff somewhere. He figured he would rent some but when he and Kiba had reached the lodge after Kiba's constant stopping to fling snow out of his shoes, all the skis had been rented. He reluctantly settled for a snowboard.

"I don't know how to snowboard!" Naruto looked at the other two. "I don't even know how to put it on!"

Sasuke and Kiba looked at each other and shared a look. Kiba slid down the hill calling, "You teach him!" over his shoulder.

Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes. He unbuckled himself and walked over to Naruto. "Alright, sit down first. Now, put your feet in those wedges." Sasuke leaned over him and put his hands on the buckles. "Now watch carefully. This is how you lock yourself in." The raven buckled him in and got up. He walked back to his board and locked his own feet in. "Alright. Watch how I'm going to get up and do the same exact thing, alright? I don't want you falling off a cliff or something."

Naruto pushed himself up. He wobbled and his heart began to race as his snowboard started to slide off the hill by itself. Sasuke let out a breath and grabbed Naruto's hand. "Jesus Christ, Dobe, I turn around for one second and you're about to slide down a hill."

"It wasn't my fault! This is my first time even touching a snowboard!"

"Alright." Sasuke sighed and took off his snowboard. He pulled Naruto away from the edge and near where the pine trees were. "Let's start on the basics first."

---

Kiba let out a big breath of satisfaction as he got off the ski lift to go back up the hill. It's been a long time since he's snowboard, but he's still got it. He grinned as he remembered some girls looking at him in amazement as he did a couple of halfpipes and 720's. He hopped off the lift and was just about to go for another round when he saw two familiar figures. He unbuckled his snowboard and walked towards them hearing some familiar voices.

"That's not how you do it!"

"Why are you making this so hard?!"

"Because you're not doing it right!"

"Ughh! Now is this okay?"

"That's a little better."

Kiba snickered and walked towards the two. "You two still aren't done yet?"

Naruto looked up from his snowboard and grimaced. "No."

Sasuke looked at Kiba. "We haven't even tried snowboarding down the hill yet. I just can't get through to this idiot."

"Hey! Don't call me that!"

Kiba laughed. "Dude, Naruto's the kinda guy that needs hands on learning. Let him roll down the hill on the snowboard. He'll learn like this." Kiba snapped his fingers to emphasize.

Sasuke gave Kiba a deadly look. "You couldn't have told me before I spent all that time with him?"

Kiba shrugged. He locked on his snowboard and looked at the two boys. He grinned, "Race you losers down!"

Naruto whooped and followed the brunette. Sasuke smirked and slid down the hill.

ME: Haha, not much of an ending. Sorry for being late and stuff. This one's a little longer to try to make it up to you guys.
