Rewritten: 8/13/13

Oh and I'm going to warn you at the top here, I start school this Tuesday (8th grade weeee -_-) so if I'm organizing times to work on this which I will do every day so I won't be late, but if I am a little late sometimes it'll probably be because of tests and projects but I promise to update as soon as possible
Thanks for reading have fun!
Future me: *dramatic sigh*
"You can't honestly believe this troll is telling the truth! If you were forced to leave a guy you were in love with and then came back and found out he was already with someone else, wouldn't you be pissed?" Ino yelled.
Tenten didn't answer, she just pulled the covers further over her head, Ino and Sakura groaned as they sat down on her bed with Hinata.
The door opened and Megami quickly crept in. The girls turned their attention towards her.
"Where the hell did you go?" Sakura asked.
Megami shrugged, "No where important."
Ino stared at her and Megami returned the look, the both of them nodded at each other.
"Tenten won't you please get up? you can't let this effect you," Hinata pleaded.
"No, she's right, what if Neji is using me! He's been with a lot of girls, maybe I am just next in line," she said hugging her legs.
"Tenten…Neji and I may not be the most close family but I do know him, I'm sure he wouldn't be like that," Hinata reassured.
"I'm not sure I believe that," she said quietly.
Ino groaned and stood up with her arms crossed, "Are you honestly gonna let some bitch come in and take your boyfriend? If you are your not the Tenten I know."
"Yeah! Screw that wannabe b-atch! We're going to make sure you keep a hold of that Hyuga-boy!" Megami declared.
Tenten sat up and smiled at the girls as she nodded to them.
~*A.H*~
Tenten ran through the snow at five a.m. sharp, her only way to clear her head.
As the same began to rise she remained the only one on the outside as she ran with a steady breath.
At least, that's what she hoped.
"Tenten!" the sound of a familiar boy called.
Tenten glanced to the side to see Neji running towards her.
"Just pretend you don't hear Ten…he'll leave eventually," she said to herself as she turned on her IPod, luckily her earphones were already in.
Even with music blasting she could still hear him calling her to her.
As he jogged next to her he pulled out her earphones, forcing her to stop and look at him.
"Hey Hyuga!" she said, laughing nervously. "Didn't see you there!"
He said as they jogged together, "Yeah…"
"So, how was it with you and Kaede yesterday? So important that you had to cancel again." she said the last part quietly.
Still, he heard. His brows creased, "I'm sorry, alright Ten? I'll make it up to you I swear."
"That's what you've been saying all week," she shot.
He sighed, "Alright, then what would you like me to say? I've already apologiz—"
"I want you to stop apologizing and actually keep your promises to me, it's been a week I think you've catch up with Kae enough." She spat coldly.
Neji stopped, brushing against the snow.
She stopped abruptly, turning back to him.
"You need to calm down." He said sternly, "I'm just trying to get to know her better, it's been three—"
"Did you have sex with her?" Tenten asked looking down.
"What?" he mumbled.
"Don't make me fucking repeat it."
They stood in dead, cold silence for a few moments.
"Kaede came to my room and told me about it. "
"I have to go." He mumbled.
"Don't you dare leave this spot until you explain!" she yelled.
He stopped and turned to her.
"I really don't believe this to be any of your business but yes…we did…when we were fifteen…right before she was about to leave."
"Neji….if you still have feelings for her, tell me right now." she asked her naked hands quivering in the cold.
He turned away from her with a blank expression and took a deep breath.
"I…maybe…I…" he stuttered.
He listened to footsteps and when he turned back she was already gone.
As the bun haired girl stormed in she slammed the door back, alerting the rest of the girls sleeping,, forcing them up.
"damn it Tennie, it's like five thirty!" Megami yelled as she pushed her dead alarm clock.
Without a word she jumped on her bed and groaned.
The girls looked to each other and sighed together.
"Damn it," Ino mumbled.
~*A.H*~
"How the hell could you tell Tenten?! Are you purposely trying to make my problems worse for me? She already hates me spending so much time with you don't make her start thinking I'm actually cheating on her!" Neji yelled to a motionless Kaede, sitting on his bed and staring at him.
"You've never yelled at me before…" she croaked after moments of silence.
He stopped pacing and stared at her.
She quickly got up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What's that girl done for you that I already haven't?" she whispered, leaning into his lips.
He froze in place, not knowing whether or not to push her away or do something he would regret.
"Am I interrupting something?" a cool yet obviously irritated voice said.
Kaede rolled her eyes and she and Neji both turned to the girl in black and purple Baby Phat sweats leaning on the door with her arms crossed.
"Not at all," Kaede gave a smile that did not reach her eyes as she unwrapped her arms.
"I'll see you later Neji-baby," she cooed as she walked out, glancing towards the Ino.
Ino watched Kaede walk down the hall and turn a corner, then she turned back to Neji who had sat down.
He ran his hands through his hair as he took a deep breath.
"Don't say it."
"Oh, I'm not going to say anything. I'll leave it to your girlfriend." she smiled, walking in and sitting down next to him.
"You said you wouldn't say anything." he snapped.
"Technically I didn't," she said sweetly, then quickly rolled her eyes.
"Okay look, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you what to do, but I am going to tell you that your girlfriend is sitting in her room, wondering whether or not you're gonna come and dump her in the next five seconds. The girls are pissed and Megami wants to kick your ass into February."
Neji held his head in his hands without saying a word.
"What happened between you and Kaede anyway?"
"We've been friends since we were eight. We've always had feelings for each other, we just didn't realize it, especially when I had to start going to school in Konoha. So, when we turned fourteen we started dating, I admit I was in love with her, we even went as far as…you know but that was only because she had to move away, I was so torn up about her I didn't start dating until some months passed by when the band was moving up, I decided girls weren't worth the trouble and I would just date to date."
"So…that's why you decided to start dating Tenten—"
"Of course not!" he yelled, jumping up.
Ino smirked and looked up at him.
"She's…something else. I don't want to hurt her." he mumbled.
She smiled, "That's what I wanted to hear! I'm going to run and get Tenten so you can say that to her face!"
"Fine then." He nodded as she stood up, running out the door, not noticing Kaede leading on the back of the open door, listening in.
"Perfect" she thought to herself.
"Oh Neji-baby, can I come in?" she cooed as she walked into his room.
An excited Ino quickly ran into the room, ready to grab Tenten.
She frowned when she saw the strangely empty room that had just been inhabited minutes ago.
"Tennie?"
The bun-haired girl took a much needed breath as she walked down the hall towards her boyfriend's room after getting some fresh air.
"Okay, I'll confront him. I mean, who am I to listen to that Kaede bitch anyway? It was rude of me to walk off like that…" she mumbled to herself as she clutched the boys handle.
As she turned the knob, hoping to find him, she froze at the sight her.
Neji and Kaede stood, Neji's mostly faced back to her as she could see their lips locked.
With a forced release he quickly turned to the door to find her already off.
"Ten!" she heard Neji's voice as she ran through the hall.
"Tenten-honey! There you are I've been looking every—"
Tenten ran past Ino, slightly knocking into her, in a flash.
"Tennie?" Ino called as Neji met up with her as she continued down the hall. He tightened his hair in his hands in frustration.
"What the hell happened?!" she demanded, stomping her flip flop heel.
"Kaede kissed me, Tenten saw, now—"
She held her fully manicured finger up to his lips, shushing him as she shut her eyes tightly.
"Hold that thought. You go find Tenten, I'll deal with Miss. Kaede." She said darkly.
He nodded hastily, barely paying attention to her words as he chased her down the hall.
"I will be so pissed if I break a nail on this bitch's face…" she grumbled as she stalked towards the boy's room.
"Tenten! Tenten!" Neji yelled, looking around after running for a few minutes.
Knowing her, he decided to stop by the first place that came to mind.
The weight room.
The only place she could get all their feelings out through the process of beating the crap out of stuffed leather.
As he stepped into the nearly empty room he found her punching the largest punching bag without any gloves, from the distance he could see her knuckles sporting a bloody red.
Without her notice he walked up behind her, his hands in his pockets.
"Hyuga bastard," she grumbled repeatedly as she hit it.
"That's not very nice, he mumbled, alerting her.
"Leave…" she ordered as her hands slowed down.
"Not a chance, at least not until I explain." he said coolly.
"Explain what? I saw you, there's nothing you can say. Just save be the sob story and break up with me so I can still have some dignity."
He grabbed her arm and twisted her around, planting his lips on her kissed, she struggled and hit his shoulder but he refused to let her get out. Eventually her arm began to settle and she fell into it.
When he released she instantly slapped him across the face.
"You really are an unbelievable bastard, why don't you stick with one girl? I can't believe Kaede was right, I never should have trusted you." she said as she began to walk around him.
"she kissed me!" he yelled, she stopped "I thought you knew me better than that, stop believing everything you hear, I thought you trusted me…"
"Neji…I don't know what to think…sometimes I worry…you've been through a lot of girls and I just don't to be your next project—"
"How can you say something like that?! Those girls mean nothing to me compared to you…you make me feel different…"
"But Kaede…you guys have so much history—"
"That was the past," he interrupted, she turned around to look at him.
"I want you to be my future," he whispered nervously.
She smiled sadly as she looked down. He lifted her head up with two fingers on her chin and leaned in to kiss her, she subconsciously leaned in as well.
"That was the cheesiest piece of crap I've ever heard!"
They stopped and turned to the door as both Ino and Megami stood, Megami with a video camera.
"Why do you guys always have to ruin the moment?" she snapped, Megami shut off the camera and held her hands up in defense as Ino scoffed and tossed her hair back.
"So are we good here?" she asked, smirking.
Neji turned and raised a brow to Tenten for an answer. She smiled at him, "yeah we're good I guess."
Megami groaned and tossed her head back, "Good! Now let's go get something to eat!" she yelled, turning around and rushing out the door. The three left behind began to follow her out.
"So what happened to Kaede?" Tenten asked as Neji snuck his arm around her waist.
"Oh…she won't be bothering us again," Ino sighed, examining her nails.
Neji thought to himself, "Well, while we're on the topic of sex—"
"So not gonna happen." Tenten said matter-factly.
"What! You didn't even know what I was going to say!" he defended as they closed the door behind themselves.
~*A.H*~
"Megami, you've been spending an awful lot of time with Suigetsu-san lately, don't you think you're upsetting Sasuke-san?" Hinata asked as the girls slowly stepped into the empty hot spring.
Megami titled her head to the side in confusion.
"But we're not dating, and why should Sasuke give a crap? He doesn't care, I mean, he makes out with random girls in front of me, why the hell should I give a damn!" she tried to say nicely as she squeezed the life out of her soap bar.
The girls stared at her in silence.
"Okaay, but he just seems to be acting quieter than usual." Sakura pointed out.
"He's not the only one," Ino mumbled sadly.
They all turned to her, "have you guys noticed Shikamaru's been avoiding me a lot lately?" she asked.
"Kinda, but I thought it was nothing, he's not the most social type." Tenten said.
"Well I don't think it's nothing, for the past week every time I try to talk to him or ask him to do something he makes an excuse to keep away from him." she frowned slightly sinking into the water, making bubbles.
The girls smiled.
"Ino…do you like Shikamaru?" Hinata asked cutely.
Ino quickly sat up and crossed her arms and scoffed, "O-of course not! Why would you assume something like that?!"
"Well because you're blushing," Sakura said smugly.
"You just stuttered a little," Tenten smirked.
"And you wouldn't be making such a fuss over the fact he's being distant towards you," Megami finished, beaming.
"Okay okay! I get it sheesh!...maybe I do…a little!" she said sinking back into the water. "Maybe a little more than a little…"
The girls giggled, "it's okay Ino-pig," Sakura smirked.
"Girls, I just noticed something," Tenten said suddenly, sitting up.
They turned to her in confusion.
"We've all just fallen for the biggest names in Japan," she whispered, sinking into the water.
Megami scoffed, "what the hell do you mean we? I have no interest in Sasuke what so ever!"
"Oh give it a rest Namikaze, why can't you just admit to yourself that you're into Sasuke? I mean…it won't hurt to try again…we all are," Sakura smiled sadly
She said nothing, she just turned away from them and looked down into the water in thought.
"Not all guys are the same Mega, we can't hold onto the past forever." Hinata said.
"You know I'm surprised at you guys…who would have known you would get back out there after…" she stopped herself and looked to all of them as they all sadly stared into the water themselves.
"Um, change of subject! Group hug!" she said excitingly. They raised a brow up to her.
"What are you a lesbian?" Tenten said monotonously.
"Well, I—"
"Megami!" Sakura yelled, laughing and splashing her with the hot spring water.
Megami laughed as she splashing back, quickly the others joined in.
After a couple minutes they ended their fun it with a group hug, completely forgetting they were naked.
"That's sweet, that's what I like to see," Neji smirked from above, his right hand leaning on his cheek.
The girls released and glared at him, Tenten threw a bar of soap at him which he easily dodged.
"Missed me bab—" he silenced as a random toilet seat collided with his face, knocking him back and forcing him to slash into the water. She dusted off her hands and smiled back to the girls.
~*A.H*~
Tonight, Ino wore a light blue ruffle mini skirt with a dark blue medallion halter. Hinata wore an all white tank top with a matching mini skirt and light blue and gold knee length high heel boots.
Sakura wore a red strapless mini tulle dress, while Tenten wore dark blue skinny jeans with a black criss-cross halter.
Naruto wore a blue and white fleece jacket with red jeans. Gaara wore a blue jean jacket with red interior and matching jeans. Shikamaru dawned a white ringer t-shirt with a gray trim and tan khaki's.
Neji stood in a loose black collar shirt with white khaki's, and Sasuke in a long sleeve burgundy v-neck shirt and fit black jeans.
Sasuke looked around as the nine of them stood together. He raised a brow at the sight of a missing Megami, again.
We walked up to Ino who busied herself with fixating her hair.
"Where's Megami?" he demanded. She smiled deviously.
She tossed her hair back casually, " Oh don't worry, she just went on a date with Suigetsu,"
He froze in place.
"What?" he snapped, "did I hear you right?"
Ino smirked, "She. Is. On. A . Date. With. Sui. Get the picture?" she smiled as she sashayed away from him.
He stood there, completely unable to move.
"I'm really glad you could come tonight Megami, if I had known you were gonna dress like that—" he smiled tooth-filled, scratching the back of his head.
Megami stood in a blue mini skirt with matching high heels and a light purple off the shoulder top.
She shook her head "Ino." she growled, glaring at nothing.
"Oh I figured knowing you, I doubted you were the type to dress like this," he said as they sat down in one of the resorts most lively restaurants.
She smiled, he spoke as if they had known each other for years.
"You're like a tomboy, but also some kind of princess or something," he said looking at the menu.
Her smile dropped. Only Sasuke called her princess, (well only to annoy the hell out of her) since they met and only called her Megami twice.
She shook her head quickly, she couldn't believe she was thinking of him while she was trying to have a friendly dinner with Sui.
Friendly dinner…
She sighed, she could never think of it as a date. Not ever again.
"You told him they were on a date?!" Sakura yelled, to Ino as they stood in the club.
"Look, those two idiots need to stop playing this friend crap and actually get together, it's annoying watching them. " Ino said sternly.
Naruto shook his head in turn, "I don't think that was the best way to go Ino,"
She scoffed, "and why's that?"
"Well, Sasuke isn't known for being the most understanding or tolerable type. If he wants something, and someone else has it, he won't stop until it's all his own."
Sasuke angrily stomped through the halls, ignoring all the fangirls outside their rooms. He headed for the resorts dinner restaurant with the word death almost clearly written across his forehead.
Megami laughed as Sui told her stories over their dinner, he laughed with her but settled the stuff down as he saw Sasuke make his way over.
When he stopped at their table he slammed him hand on the table, making Megami slightly jump.
"What're you doing here?"she demanded in shock.
"We need to talk." he snapped.
She raised a brow "excuse me?" she asked.
"You deaf? I said we need to talk." he demanded.
She glared at him, "excuse me for a second sui…" she grumbled, getting up.
Sui frowned a bit, "Uh…it's no problem."
He watched them walk out into the hall, Megami crossed her arms and leaned against the wall as Sasuke began yelling. She glared at him in shock and disgust then yelled something back.
He sighed and decided he should check it out.
"I am not dating with him for the last time, so all of a sudden I'm not allowed to go out with any guy?!" she yelled.
He ruffled his hair in frustration, "that's not the point! I don't get it, you reject me and now—"
"Why is it so hard to understand that I don't want a boyfriend?!"
"Megami, is everything alright?" Suigetsu came in and asked.
"Stay out of this" Sasuke growled.
"Look dude, she has the right to date whoever she wants," he said, glaring to Sasuke.
"I said I'm not—"
"What makes you think she wants to go out with you?" Sasuke said coolly smirking, his hands in his pockets, cutting Megami off.
"The same goes for you," Suigetsu said.
"Wait a minute, didn't I just say—"
"Am I hearing a bet?" Sasuke smirked.
"You. Me. this Friday. Snow-boarding. Dragon peak, first one down wins." Sui, smiled showing his shiny shark teeth.
"Deal, shark-boy."
The young boys shook hands as Megami ruffled her hair and swayed sickingly.
"I'll catch you later Megami!" Suigetsu yelled running off.
"Will somebody fucking listen to me?!" she yelled.
Sasuke raised a brow at her as he turned to her, only to be slapped across the left cheek.
"Who the hell do the both of you think you are?! How dare you bet on me?! Aside the fact Dragon Peak is the highest mountain here! Do you wanna get killed? Why are you so damn fixated on me?! I'm nothing special!" she yelled again, her eyes glistening.
All he did was smile.
She stood there her eyes widened and frozen, he walked up to her and took a lock of her hair in two fingers, "I'm going to make you mine." he whispered in her ear.
She twitched as he casually walked down the hall.
"Hate my life…"
"They bet on you?" Ino asked.
"Those douches don't know what they're getting themselves into," Tenten said tossing a small ball in the hair back and forth as she lay on her bed, pajamas on. They all did as the boys were outside playing late night hockey.
"Even I won't go on Dragon Peak."
"That's what I said! They wouldn't listen. Why is it so hard for them to understand that I just want to be alone? I don't need a boyfriend to make me happy." she said dropping on her bed and groaning.
The girls sighed as she turned away from them completely blocking them out.
"I'm gonna make you mine." Sasuke's voice rang in her bed, she picked up her pillow and smashed it on her head and groaned.
~*A.H*~
"You can't be serious about this, if you do this you guys could end up in the hospital or worse!" Megami said pacing around with Suigetsu as he grabbed lunch the next day.
"Mega, have a little faith in me, your making it sound like I'm gonna lose." he said sitting down.
"I don't care about that! I just don't want you guys to die!" she said throwing her hands up in frustration.
He smiled and looked up at her, "you're really cute when you worry."
She stopped moving and stared at him.
"W-why do you wanna win this competition?" she asked nervously.
His smile brightened. "Because I want a chance with you." he answered.
She nervously rubbed her arm until it started to become beat red, he quickly looked at his watch.
" Oops, I gotta meet the guys outside, I'll catch you later," he said, packing his untouched, food getting up and walking off.
She sighed and sat down at the table and ruffled her hair.
"What's the matter Megami?" a voice asked. She looked up and smiled at the blonde boy hovering over her.
"hi Naruto, it's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted." she sighed.
He sat down across from her, "Because of the match between Sasuke and Suigetsu right?" he asked.
"How did you—"
"Hinata told me. Actually, she didn't have too, Teme made it pretty clear." He laughed.
She sighed and nodded, "neither one of them will listen to me; I don't want anyone to get hurt. This is all my fault." she groaned.
Naruto shrugged, "How can it be your fault if someone is willing to fight for you?" he asked.
"That's the problem. I don't want them too." she sighed.
Naruto stared at her for a second then smiled "…My mom used to say 'when we shield our lives in we're pushing everything out, and as soon as you decide it's time, it's gets harder and harder to break your shell—"
Her eyes widened.
"Whatever's holding you back the best thing to do is to let go now before you regret it, you know the one you really wanna be with them be with them, stop being a caterpillar be a butterfly!" he said shooting his hands up like a little kid and beaming brightly.
She looked up to him and smiled sadly, "funny…my mom used to say the exact same thing." she said a little quietly.
He smiled sadly as well, looking down to the table.
"Really what's she like?..." he slowly asked.
"I can't remember much, she died in a car accident with my dad when I was five. But I know she was amazing."
"S-so did mine" Naruto said, shocked.
They both stared at each other for a second them slightly gave a painful laugh.
"Wow looks like we have more in common them we think," she smiled getting up.
He got up as well, "Hey maybe we are related!" he said laughing, she laughed too then it slowly settled.
"Thank you Naruto" she said sweetly, he did a salute then a bright thumbs up, "no problem!" he said happily.
"Gaara? Can I talk to you please?" Ino asked.
Gaara looked up from his laptop as he sat on his bed in the boy's room. He nodded and she sighed, "you're smart, I'm sure you've noticed how Shikamaru's been pushing me away lately, did I do anything wrong?" she asked sitting on the side of his bed.
He smirked and turned back to his laptop to continue typing.
"You really don't remember do you?" he asked. She lifted her head up, confused.
"He told me not to tell you, but being the friend I am I'm gonna do it anyways." he said, she slightly scooted over to indicate she was listening.
"On the first night we went to the club, you were drugged—"
She slightly gasped as he continued.
"He had to carry you back to your room, apparently you woke up, kissed him, and mumbled a few choice words..."
Her eyes widened as she slipped off the bed and onto her but.
He stared at her.
"W-what did you say?" she asked.
"I said you kissed him, what's the big deal?" he asked turning back to his computer.
"So that's why he's been avoiding me…" she whispered to herself.
"I have to find him, thanks a bunch Gaara!" she yelled running out the door as he waved her off.
~*Friday*~
"This is a bad idea." Neji sighed as Sasuke geared up.
"Mind your own damn business." he said plainly.
"You know your gonna get yourself killed, we're not even supposed to be up here." he said, looking around.
Both boys stood at the top of the mountain. Snow rained all around them as the chilling winds blew with grey skies.
Sasuke smirked, "You're worried about me?"
"Get over yourself, it'll be a bitch to replace you after they finish scraping you off the snow." he snapped.
"That means you're worried." he said, bending down and wiping his snow board.
"Dick." Neji grumbled.
Sasuke smirked.
"There's no use trying to change his mind, Neji. Once it's made it's over," Naruto said, walking up with Hinata, Gaara, Sakura and Tenten.
"Hey Teme, if you die can I have your Nikes?" Naruto smiled putting his hands on his shoulder, Sasuke glared at him.
"That's not something to joke about Naruto-kun, we all know this is a very bad idea." Hinata frowned.
"Aw, I was just joking! I'm sure he knows what he's doing," he said, patting him on the back.
"Naruto, you better tone it down before he gets really mad," Sakura teased, sitting down on the snow with Gaara.
Naruto waved his hand nonchalantly as he and Hinata sat down. "Naah, I've been doing this since we were newborns, he's not gonna do any—"
Sasuke kicked his head into the snow and held it there for about ten seconds while he struggled.
"What were you saying dead-last?" he asked smirking, Naruto lifted his head up, wiped his face and glared at him.
Sasuke continued to smirk so Naruto smiled brightly as he rubbed his head. Sasuke nodded and walked off to finish up.
"I don't get your friendship," Tenten said sitting with them.
"No one does." Gaara said.
"Where's Ino and Megami? They should be here by now," Hinata asked.
"Ino's off looking for Shikamaru for some reason and Megami overslept. Besides…you know Ino's afraid of heights" Sakura said, looking out to the snowy distance.
"You didn't wake her up?" Tenten raised a brow.
Sakura shrugged, "I wanted her to wake up on her own this time, she might disrupt the match." Sakura said.
"So you approve of this whole thing?" Tenten asked.
"As long as nobody dies, then I can finally put my medical skills to really good use." she said happily clapping her hands.
Sweat-drop.
Where is Shikamaru and why is Ino looking for him?" Hinata asked.
"He is hiding from her and that is classified," Gaara said, getting up to the see what the guys were doing, leaving the girls in a confused state.
"Those bastards! How could they let me sleep on a day like this?!" Megami whined, going through her clothes for her snow suit after shooting up from bed and out of the shower when she discovered how late it was.
"What a jerk, how can he be hiding…I just wanna talk to him!" Ino growled as she jogged through the lobby.
Finally, she spotted Shikamaru drinking coffee in a small restaurant.
"Shikamaru?! Shikamaru!" she yelled.
He looked up and his eyes widened, he quicky jumped off his seat and ran off to Ino's shock.
"What the—! Shikamaru I just wanna talk to you!" she yelled, running after him.
"Hi, I was having my board cleaned?" Megami sighed a she walked up to the guy working at the snowboard counter, covered in tattoos.
"which one was it?" he asked.
"The white snowflake one," she answered, pointing to it hanging on the wall behind him.
He unhooked it, then turned back and handed it to her.
"You're not planning on going out there are you? he asked, confused.
She frowned as she clutched it. "Yes, Why?"
He shook his head, "You really shouldn't. There's a massive snow storm headed this way. There was a few avalanches a couple hours ago and earthquake reports. That's why everyone's staying inside."
Her eyes widened, "oh crap…" she whispered. "Thank you!" she yelled quickly as she ran off.
"So you finally made it. For a second there I thought you'd hiked up your mini skirt and chickened out." Sasuke said as Suigetsu walked up the mountain with a couple of his friends.
"Say what you want, Uchiha. I'm still gonna kick your ass." Sui smiled.
Sasuke smirked as the boys positioned themselves on the corner of the mountain.
"Ready?" Sakura yelled. The boys nodded.
"On your mark—"
Megami rushed up the mountain, breathing heavily as she tripped a bit.
"Get set—!"
As she noticed them she tied in relief and quickly raced over to the group.
"G—!"
"Stop!" she yelled breathlessly.
They all turned around, she stood with her hands on her knees, breathing heavily and her pale face beat red.
"Megami?" Sui said, confused. Sasuke tsked and turned away, annoyed.
"You guys! For the last time forget the stupid bet! We have to get out of here!" she yelled furiously as she jogged over to the boys.
"Why?" Hinata asked, confused.
"There's been a lot of earthquake reports around here! And there's a snowstorm headed our way! Didn't you guys notice everyone gone?" she yelled, exhausted.
They shook their heads.
"Gah!" she ruffled her hair in frustration.
"We were about to start," Tenten said.
"Yeah, which reminds me, Hinata did you bring my first aid kit?" Sakura asked.
"Well yes, but you were out of—"
"Who gives a shit?!" Megami yelled. "We have to have to get out of here!"
Suddenly the ground below them began to vibrate until it began to shake rapidly, alerting them.
They screamed as some of the boys fell, hitting the snow below, including Suigetsu, who hit is head, knocking himself out.
Hinata screamed aloud as she slipped on the edge of the mountain, only for Naruto to caught her and hold her in his arms tightly.
Sakura slipped on the ice and almost hit her head until Gaara caught her and wrapped his arms around her so she wouldn't fall.
The vibrations forced Neji and Tenten she slid down the iced floor, but were relieved to be stopped by a block of ice.
The ground cracked under Megami who stood on the front edge. She screamed as a piece of the mountain under her broke and she began to fall, until Sasuke slid down and caught her hand at the last second.
Her hand began to slip out of the glove as he struggled to keep a hold of it.
"Please don't let go!" she begged.
"Why the hell would I let go?!" he yelled, forcing to pull her up.
"Because...because I've been unfair to you…" she whispered.
He stared at her.
The mountain began to shake again as a part of the piece of mountain Sasuke lay on cracked, bending him over slightly.
"I've got you!" he yelled as she whimpered.
Finally, her hand fell out of the glove, letting her fall to his shock.
"Sasuke?" she whispered.
"MEGAMI!"
He looked below. If she were to hit fall further the first things she would touch would be the pointed ice crystals that would shred her before she could touch the ground.
So he did the first thing that came to mind. He dived down to her.
She subconsciously stared up the mountain as it got further and further away, her mind screamed for someone.
Sasuke caught up to her, but then quickly passed. He went behind her and grabbed a hold of her back tightly, turning her around to face him. She stared at him, still trying to process what was going on, he just smiled and closed him eyes tightly, so she did the same.
After the sound of a crash, they silenced.
She opened her eyes wearily and cringed at the impact of the snow. She felt her forehead bleeding and her left cheek cut deeply, as well as her right arm, unmovable.
But, she paid no attention to that.
Her eyes watered at the sight below her. Sasuke lay under her, unconscious. His chest lay covered in blood and she could see a long gap along it, his left shoulder was bleeding as well.
She guessed he passed out from the impact and loss of blood.
"S-Sasuke…" she whispered nudging him with her left hand, "Come on…wake…please…!" she pleaded. "Please…not again…wake up!" she cried.
The snow showered over them as tears fell, caking her face and mixing with the blood that dripped down.
~*A.H*~
"Shikamaru! Shikamaru!" Ino yelled angrily through the snow covered branches she pushed aside.
"Man for someone so lazy this guy can run," she mumbled to herself.
She went atop a small hill then saw a large burrow and him in it.
"Finally" she said, exhausted.
Like a fox to a rabbit, she snuck up from around him until she jumped in front, shocking him.
"stop avoiding me!" she demanded.
He sighed.
"I wanna talk about what happened the first night we got here, ever since then you've been distancing yourself from me…Gaara told me what I did and I…I wanna talk about it," she said nervously.
They shared eye contact for a moment until they both felt an extremely cold wind chill.
They looked around and saw a large snowstorm heading their way.
"Quick! Get in here!" he commanded. Ino crawled into the slightly deep burrow as the storm took over.
~*A.H*~
"Sasuke…what do you think heaven's like?" the young Megami asked as they both stared up to the clouds in the large field behind her home.
He shrugged, "I don't know, my mommy told me we're not gonna find out for a real long time, like when we're really old and stuff." he said.
"But what if we get there soon…my mommy says lots of things die early for a reason…" she said quietly.
Well were not gonna," little Sasuke said.
She smiled, "If I do die early…will you wait for me?" she whispered.
He sat up straight and turned his head to her "what're you talkin 'bout?" he asked, confused.
"If I die early…would you wait for me?...until we're together again…so we can be together forever?" she asked, sitting up.
He started at her for a second then smiled, "if you'll wait for me…I'll do the same." he said, she smiled and held his hand.
"Together forever?" she asked.
he nodded.
"You promise?"
"I promise."
Sasuke's eyes snapped open and the first thing he saw was a window, showering the blizzard outside.
"Hey guy," a soothing whispered voice said.
He turned his eyes to the red-haired girl sitting beside him, smiling.
"So you finally decided to wake up?" she laughed.
He looked down and saw her arm in a blue cast and gauze wrapped around her neck like a halter. Her forehead had gauze wrapped around like a headband and her left cheek had a gauze patch on it, yet she was still smiling.
He realized he was lying down and noticed it to be a hospital bed. He tried to sit up then, only for his chest to cringe, forcing him back in pain.
"Whoa, whoa! You're not ready to get up yet, the nurse says you need a few more hours of rest. But if you wanna sit up let me help."
She helped him sit up with one arm then pulled back when he was comfortable.
He looked around, the hospital room was dark yet a little light from outside was shining in from the door. He looked down and saw gauze wrapped around his lower chest and abdomen. The wrap connected to more gauze on his shoulder as all he sat in were black jeans.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" she giggled.
"How long have I been in here?" he asked quickly.
She sighed, "about three weeks" she mumbled.
He went pale as his eyes slightly widened.
She quickly laughed, "I'm joking dummy! Only a couple hours," she shrugged.
He settled down and slightly glared at her, she smiled innocently then settled.
"Thank you…" she mumbled.
"For what?" he asked, adjusting himself.
"You know…for saving my life…I wouldn't have made it without you." she admitted.
He smirked, "You're welcome."
She smiled, "Here, let me help you fix the gauze."
He nodded and she leaned in to fix it.
But instead of touching his bandages, she kissed him.
He hesitated for a second, debating whether it was a joke or not, but satisfied when she didn't release, he kissed back.
After a few moments, they let go.
"Remember what I said on the mountain?" she whispered. "That I've been really unfair to you? I've been through a lot and I wasn't sure if I was ready to start dating. I really do like you and I know how hard you've been trying to make me realize that."
"Besides…any guy…who would purposely jump off a cliff and risk his life just to save mine…I would gladly date." she smiled.
He smirked, "So then, you really want to be my girlfriend?" he asked.
"You have to stop calling me princess though!" she demanded.
"Not gonna happen." he sighed as he leaned in and kissing her.
She smiled into the kiss as he deepened it. She leaned her hand on his chest he flinched, letting go.
"Oh sorry!" she gasped.
He shook his head.
"Why don't we try this when we get out of all this?" she suggested.
He nodded, "so when is that?"
"The nurse said that you have to keep this on for a few more days and be careful with your chest. I didn't break anything, I just temporarily paralyzed it so I'll be out in about a day." she explained.
He nodded again, "So…what's gonna happen with fish boy?" he growled. She nudged him.
He rolled his eyes, "Suigetsu."
She frowned, "I'll talk to him…sometime before we leave." she said.
"Good—You can let him know that you're mine now—and nobody's gonna take you away from me," he whispered. She slightly blushed as they kissed again.
Suddenly the door flew open and Sakura, Tenten and Hinata quickly rushed in.
"Megami! we—"
They both quickly released.
"Oh…are we interrupting something?" Sakura smiled.
"Yes/No" They said at the same time.
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"What's up?" Megami asked.
"Ino and Shikamaru are missing! We can't find them anywhere. Someone said they saw them go outside, so we think they might be caught in the snow!" Tenten yelled.
"What?!" Megami yelled, jumping up.
~*A.H*~
"How long do you think we've been in here?" Ino whined as Shikamaru finished blocking the burrow.
He shrugged, "at the most I'd say about a few hours."
He sat back down to their small fire as she groaned.
"We're might die in here, with all that snow we probably won't even be able to find the way back to the resort! We'll be stranded and forced to live off in the wilderness where we'll be eaten by animals and—"
"God woman would you stop overreacting?" he snapped.
"Why? This is basically your fault! If you had just stopped and talked to me—!"
She stopped and hugged her knees.
They sat there silent for a few minutes as he picked at the fire and she watched.
"Shika…about the club—"
"You don't have to say anything. You were drugged, people say stupid stuff they don't mean when it happens, forget it." He said not looking at her, knowing she was aware of what happened.
"But I—"
"I said just drop it okay?" he snapped, glancing at her.
She was quiet for a moment as she stared at him.
"I…meant what I said."
He stopped picking at the fire and quickly looked up at her.
"What?"
"I meant what I said…about liking you…I guess I just blurt out what's on my mind when that happens."
He didn't answer, so she moved over to him.
"And I know you like me to…it's just to troublesome to admit it," she whispered.
He scoffed, "That's not true."
"Oh yeah? Then why did you avoid me? If it wasn't such a big deal and I didn't even remember why were you still nervous, awkward, and distant when you were by me?"
He sighed, " Okay fine…maybe I…maybe I do like…you…"
He bit his tongue as she patted him on the back.
"There you go, now was that so hard? Sheesh, you have more pride to go around than Neji and Sasuke." she laughed. He smirked.
They sat motionless for a few moments in silence, thinking.
"So…what do you wanna do about this?" he mumbled.
She shrugged, "Well, you can have the pleasure of being my boyfriend."
He raised a brow as she giggled.
"And we can be something," she bit her bottom lip shyly as he smiled weakly.
He lifted her head up and kissed her, she smiled into as she sat up a bit and deepened it.
After a couple minutes of lip-locking, they released.
"There, I finally gave you a kiss you can remember," he smirked.
She blushed and giggled as they stared into each other's eyes.
"Hello? Hello?! Is someone is there?!" a female voice called.
"That's Sakura's voice!" Ino gasped and yelled.
"Ino? Oh my gosh is that you?!" she called again.
"Yeah! Me and Shikamaru!" she shouted back.
"CHA!"
In a swift second the blocks were kicked down and the two could see feet in front of them.
Ino quickly crawled out, Shikamaru slowly followed.
"Finally!" she breathed, hugging Sakura. The other girls joined in.
"We thought you died!" Tenten said, shocked.
"That's not a warm welcome but I'll take it anyways!" Ino said happily.
She noticed the storm had stopped and didn't hesitate to tell them the news.
"Oh! Guess what? Shika and I are dating!" she squealed, bouncing.
"Finally!" the girls sighed.
She spouted as she stopped. "Party poopers."
Shikamaru finally crawled out and for some reason adjusted his pant belt, which the girls noticed.
"Holy shit! What did you do in there?" Megami smiled devilishly.
Ino rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up you perv," she nudged her but then noticed her arm in a cast.
She gasped, "what happened?!"
Hinata giggled, "Ino, you missed so much."
"Long story, but the best part of it is she and Sasuke are going out!" Sakura beamed.
"Finally!" Ino said, throwing her head back in exhaustion.
"Alright alright…I think were good…let's go back now before we freeze to death." Shikamaru said.
The girls quickly nodded and giggled as they hugged each other again.
~*Last Day*~
"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you Sui," Megami said sadly as she stood in front of him, her arm free.
He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Ah, it's no problem, if it weren't for me you wouldn't have gotten hurt."
"No no it's my fault…I'm… so sorry if I led you on or anything—"
"Don't worry about it, really. I had a feeling you were into Sasuke when I first met him and how you acted around each other—just make sure if that idiot tries anything you hit him for me." he smirked.
She laughed and nodded.
"Well, I hope to keep in touch, and thank you for everything." she said hugging him.
"No problem" he said, "See you around?"
She nodded.
He finally smiled and turned around and started to walk away, but then stopped in his tracks and turned to look back at her.
"Hey…if you should break up with Uchiha and need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be here," he winked.
She blinked a couple times in shock as she watched him walk off down the hall.
"Ugh, I can't believe it's time to go! The spas here are fabulous! I don't wanna leave!" Ino wined as Megami strolled back into the room.
"Suck it up, I'm sure there are spas in Konoha," Sakura sighed as she zipped up the last of her things in her bag.
"I doubt it," she grumbled, "good ones anyway."
"Don't be upset Ino, we can come back another time" Hinata smiled.
"Yeah, maybe in the sum—"
A knock on the door interrupted Tenten.
Hinata walked over and opened it, to reveal Kaede.
"what the hell are you doing here? Didn't I already kick your ass to mars or you looking for another visit?" Ino snapped.
Kaede sighed, "May I come in?" she asked.
Hinata nodded, "please."
Kaede stepped in, letting Hinata close the door behind her.
"I didn't come here to start trouble; I just came here to warn you girls."
"Not this again," Tenten said as she rolled her eyes.
Kaede shook her head, "not like that."
They all looked to her.
"So here's the thing, you guys are currently dating the biggest names in Japan and possibly in April…the world…because of that you're going to be having a lot of obstacles in your way, a lot of threats too…I should know…that all ruined my relationship with Neji…"
"I thought you had to move away and that was the problem," Tenten said, confused.
She shook her head again, "not entirely…I got a lot of death threats and warnings from crazed fans, which disrupted my school work…they would terrorize by family, throw bricks through our windows, and demand I break up with Neji or they would kill me.
Hinata gasped.
"Until my father couldn't take it anymore and we were forced to move away, knowing that would force me to break up with Neji since the both of us knew we would never be able to handle a long distance relationship. What with the band especially and all" she continued.
"Oh…" Tenten mumbled.
"I hope you girls are prepared, because you have a lot heading your way." she warned.
"No worries, we're tough chicks! We can handle ourselves!" Megami reassured, beaming.
"I sure hope so, I don't want you to end up like me…" she said quietly.
"We're sorry things didn't work out for you Kaede…but thank you." Sakura said.
she smiled and nodded, "I hope we can be friends or at least call a truce…then maybe you guys can rub off on me and I can actually find a guy."
The girls laughed.
"Of course we can be friends!" Ino squealed. Kaede smiled again.
Suddenly Megami perked up and quickly walked over to Kaede.
"Hey, I think I may know a guy you'd be interested in," she said.
"Really? Who? What's he look like?"
She smiled sweetly, "well…he's got white hair—"
~*A.H*~
The girls pulled their bags outside to where the boys waited by the tour bus as all the other students loaded onto theirs.
They looked at each other, questioning.
"Do you girls really think we can do this?" Hinata asked, twiddling her fingers.
"Course! Whoever thinks we shouldn't date then doesn't know who they're messing with!" Megami said chanted.
"Come to think of it, do you think they will be able to handle us and our baggage?" Tenten asked.
"What they don't know won't hurt them," Sakura shrugged a bit. The girls nodded in agreement.
"Good…then let's go home," Ino sighed dramatically.
The girls looked over to the boys who waited, not paying attention.
They smiled and looked at each other.
"But first…" Sakura grinned.
The girls happily ran over and jumped their opposite—to their surprise—and kissed them.
