Day 5: The Famous 'It'
Disclaimer: I own nothing
in 'Naruto' (as I stated earlier)
'Team
..'
"I wonder where Gaara is." Temari said
thoughtfully, gazing out at the ocean that surrounded the island as she washed
up. They had woken up in the morning and they had been training since. She
turned her head abruptly to look at something in the trees.
"Probably out kill-no
torturing someone." Kankuru replied, then mumbled, "I almost forgot we aren't allowed to
kill anyone."
"Well speak of the
devil.." Temari said
just loud enough for only her and Kankuru to hear. Kankuru turned around to see their red-headed little
brother emerge from the forest trees and walk towards them. Gaara
surprised his siblings by wearing a secretive smile on his face. He seemed
amused about something. Temari looked worried and
there was a twisted feeling in her stomach. Gaara
is..happy?-!..OMG, what has
he done?-! she thought as she imagined some dead
ninja floating in the ocean. She shivered a little. Kankuru
tensed at the arrival of his disturbed little brother. Gaara,
ignoring his siblings completely, walked right by them and jumped to sit on a
tree branch. He started talking to no one in particular and some of his words
drifted over to them: "...made him see whatever he feared most...scared
look in his eyes...for you..mother..."
he was saying proudly. Feeling as though they were going to barf, his siblings
tried to talk about something else to take their minds off his sick little
conversation.
"So, why did they
send us here, to
"Sensei said we were
to simply abide by the rules without complaining." Kankuru
replied, then wearing a devilish grin, "But that doesn't mean we can't
have a little fun." Temari smirked and turned to
look at Gaara.
"Hey, Gaara." she called. She twitched a little when he
turned to her with a cold stare, "We're going to go..'explore' the island a little, wanna
come?"
He shook his head in
reply. The other two shrugged and set off into the forest, leaving him
muttering to himself still. They found a place to sleep for the night and
settled down there. After training some more, feeling exhausted, they turned in
for the night.
'Team
8'
Kiba was telling his fellow teammates
what had happened with him and Akamaru. The only
interruption was the screech of two squirrels fighting somewhere nearby. His
story was the same as Lee's minus the running laps and Gai-sensei
image. Although he did scream like a girl-he didn't tell them this of course.
So, basically, they saw the eye and it followed them as they tripped over vines
and ran into trees until they were almost at their camping place.
"And then we came
here." Kiba finished,
his face red from embaressment at running into tree's
and stuff. Hinata started connecting fingertips again. Shino just stood there.
They all noticed a
squirrel and they watched it as it slowly drag itself along a tree branch
towards a hole in one of the trees that surrounded them. It looked like it was
dying. It was obviously the defeated one from the fight they had heard earlier.
Suddenly Shino jumped onto the tree branch and scared the squirrel so much that
it died from the shock and with a loud and sickening THUMP fell off the tree
and hit the ground. Startled, Kiba and Hinata looked at their bug teammate bewilderedly.
"Uhh...why
did you do that?" Kiba asked, feeling nauseas. Hinata was traumatized and too shocked to speak.
"..." Shino
paused for a moment, "It was about to step on an ant."
"WHAT!" Kiba yelled, "YOU JUST KILLED A SQUIRELL AND ALL YOU
CAN SAY IS: 'It was about to step on an ant'?" he repeated, doing a pretty
good imitation of Shino. Shino nodded his head as though oblivious to Kiba's outburst. Hinata fainted.
When she woke up she
looked around sleepily and saw that it was night time. Suddenly, she started
screaming her head off. Kiba looked worried and
thought she might have gone crazy until he looked to her left. Right next to
her head was...
'Team
Gai'
G-G-...Good
morning, Neji-kun, Lee-san." Tenten
said cheerfully-although it was really around noon-while trying and failing to
stifle a yawn. She stretched.
"Ah,
good morning, Tenten-chan." Lee replied. Neji
just nodded. He looked confused about something.
They went they're seperate ways and trained until night had fallen.
"Did any of you
happen to be wandering in the woods last night?" Neji
asked as they met at camp later on. Tenten and Lee
both shook they're heads. "No? Hmm..."
"Why what
happened?" Tenten asked.
"Nothing." Neji
replied a little too quickly.
"Yeah, what happened?"
Lee asked. He was curious as to what Neji had to
hide.
"Nothing." Neji
repeated, looking slightly uncomfortable. He settled down into his sleeping bag
looking forward to a good nights sleep. Tenten and
Lee shared a look that was unnoticed by Neji and nodded
to each other.
"Get 'em!" they both yelled at once. They pounced and...
'Team
7' and '10'
Sakura was still trying to
calm Ino down. Ino looked
frazzled and her hair was a mess. Sakura had faint circles around her eyes and
hair wasn't exactly a sight for sore eyes either. They hadn't gotten any sleep
last night because Ino kept having nightmares about Sasuke and her slapping him. Naruto
and Sasuke were out getting wood and something to
eat. They're arms had slight bruises on them. It still hurt them from when Ino's rope had been tied so tightly the day before. Chouji had gone back to Team 10's campsite to get more
chips. They had decided that it wouldn't be safe to go anywhere alone so Shikamaru had gone with him. He thought it was
'troublesome' but he figured: Couji + no chips would
be even more 'troublesome'. So he sighed and went with his forever hungry
friend.
When they reached the
campsite, Chouji got his chips-about 10 bags or so.
Then they headed back to Team 7's clearing. The smell of spicy meat greeted
them long before they saw it and they heard laughter. They reached the clearing
and saw that Sakura had made a big feast-well it was really just a deer with alot of spices on it, some fruit set on the ground
(gathered by Ino), and some water placed in a big
jug-like thing. Chouji ignored the chorus of "Hi!"'s and attacked the food.
"How
troublesome..." Shikamaru said, as he calmly sat
down between Chouji and Sasuke.
They ate the feast-all of
it, thanks to Chouji-and sleeplily
cleared up the mess. When they were done, the six subs unrolled they're
sleeping bags and went to sleep feeling content an
full after all the food...
The Next Day:
Suddenly, a huge gust of
wind blew and almost blew them out of they're sleeping bags. They all woke up,
and stood in battle position: alert and armed. They heard someone laughing in
delight. The voice sounded oddly familiar...
Suddenly another gust of
wind blew towards them. The shielded themselves by
forming an 'X' with there arms and they closed their eyes because they were
stinging in the wind. The wind stopped blowing so hard so they opened them only
to see Temari standing in front of them. She placed
her huge fan on the ground with one hand and tilted it away from her. She
smirked at the sight of the still slightly sleep group.
"A slumber party,
huh? And I wasn't invited?" she said mockingly as a bully would to some
younger kids.
Chouji, who as we can recall had gone to
get ten bags of chips, looked angrier than the others for some reason-well,
except maybe Naruto who had been in the middle of a
'Sakura was running..He was running..(flowers in background)' dream and they were just about to
meet. The problem was thatChouji had lost four bags.
While he was sheilding himself from the wind Temari had directed at them, the four chip bags in question
had blown into the trees somewhere. Now, he was not happy. Not at all. Suddenly, Temari let
out a yelp...
