As we left the building, the thirteen of us:
Me
Naruto
Sakura
Sasuke
Ino
Shikamaru
Choji
Hinata
Kiba
Shino
Tenten
Neji
and
Lee
We're discussing what the second part of the exams would be like.
"I bet it's going to awesome dattebayo!" Naruto said fist pumping the air.
"Who cares about the stupid exams right now" Ino said, flicking her long platinum hair "if anything I could use a day at the spa or something!"
"The spa" Tenten said dreamily, her eyes glossing over "sounds relaxing!"
All the girls sighed dreamily and thought about the spa as the boys frowned. I've never been to the spa, I wonder what it feels like.
"What about us men" Kiba said angrily "we can't go to the spa!"
All the boys nodded, glaring at us girls. Sakura bit her lip hard then thought of an idea as she snapped her fingers.
"Ha!" She said smiling "let's all go to the beach!"
There was silence for a moment then everyone started to smile. I've never been to the beach either; I wonder if it's nice there.
"The beach sounds good" Ino said happily "cute boys and shirtless ones."
At the word shirtless she glanced at Sasuke and giggled.
"Beach sounds good to me" Kiba said giving a wolfy grin "babes in bikinis!"
"I have the perfect bikini for this occasion!" Tenten said jumping for joy.
Everyone stared talking happily about what they were going to wear to the beach and what they would do. I just listened sadly, I don't think I can go. I don't have a....
"Ruka!" Naruto said smiling "what are you going to wear?!"
I blushed in embarrassment and clasped my hands together.
"W-W-Well you see" I said slowly "I don't....have....a swimming suit."
Everyone stared at me for a long, long, long time. Embarrassed, I hid my face behind my hair and blushed. That's when I noticed all the girls were staring at me with strange looks on their faces. Except Hinata who simply gave me a sorry look. What's the look for?
"Oh Ruka" Sakura and Ino said in unison "you shouldn't have said that."
I stared at them confused, rather concerned for my safety. Even the boys had no clue what was going on.
"W-What?"
They smiled brightly then screamed loudly, "SHOPPING
SPREE!"
My eyes widened and before I knew what was happening, Tenten and Ino picked me up and started carrying me off to God knows where with Sakura and Hinata following closely behind.
"W-Wait!" I exclaimed, my face becoming red "put me down! N-Naruto! S-Sasuke! Help!"
Naruto bit his lip and came forward to help me, but he received the evilest glare from Sakura in the history of glares.
"Don't" she said simply, a evil aura surrounding her.
Naruto nervously scratched the back of his head and said "sorry Ruka! I'm so sorry!"
I yelped in panic as Sasuke just stood there and smirked, refusing to help me. I guess no one will help me. I sighed sadly and let Ino and Tenten carry me off to my doom.
"N-Naruto" I said shaking my fist at him "you traitor!"
He gave me an apologetic smile and with that we turned a
corner as they disappeared from sight.
*****
"I like this one!"
"NO! Look at that hideous color billboard brow!"
"W-What a-a-about this o-one?"
"I don't think so, doesn't match her skin tone."
"I agree!"
"Go get her another one please Hinata!"
"H-Hai!"
"What about this?"
"Naruto would like it, but orange isn't her color, Ino-pig!"
"Watch it billboard brow!"
"I-I'm b-b-back!"
Everyone turned towards Hinata and stared at the bikini in her hand. Everyone's face broke into a smile as they stared at me. I glanced at the bikini and blushed deeply.
"N-No please!" I pleaded, as Ino and Sakura advanced on me with the bikini "I don't w-want that one!"
"GRAB HER ARMS!" Sakura screamed smiling devilishly.
"HELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!"
~Naruto's POV~
Sasuke, Kiba, Neji, Choji, Shikamaru, Shino, Lee, and I stood outside of the building where they had taken Ruka and listened to their conversation.
"N-No please!" I heard Ruka say "I don't w-want that one!"
"GRAB HER ARMS!" I heard Sakura scream.
"HELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!" Ruka yelled loudly, then there was silence.
"Geez!" I said in disbelief "what are they doing to her in there?! Believe it!"
Everyone shrugged and we walked away from the wall, not wanting to hear any more.
"This day at the beach should be fun!" I said smiling "we're all going to have so much fun!"
"Tch" Kiba said "who cares what those girls said! All they're going to do is sit on the sand and talk, maybe splash around in the water some! Let's spice things up a bit....if you know what I mean."
Everyone stared at Kiba, slightly interested, and he smirked before telling us to huddle closer.
"So" Kiba whispered "here's the deal, there are five girls and eight of us. So three of us have to sit out on this game....who volunteers?"
"Me" Choji said blushing "I'm not good with girls."
"I will as well" Shino said simply.
"Count me out sadly" Lee said lowering his head.
"Perfect!" Kiba said smirking "so we all get assigned a girl now. Sasuke, you get Sakura."
Saskue crossed his arms and exhaled deeply.
"Shikamaru you get Ino" Kiba said.
"How troublesome" Shikamaru said rolling his eyes.
"Neji you get Tenten" Kiba said turning towards him.
Neji remained silent and don't reply. However, I noticed he was blushing slightly....weird. Kiba turned towards me as a large smirk encased his features.
"Ruka or Hinata?"
"W-What?" I said, my own cheeks turning red.
Kiba rolled his eyes, "answer the question dobe! Ruka or Hinata?!"
My cheeks turned even more red, if that was even possible and I didn't respond. What kind of game are we even playing?!
"I don't...."
"CHOOSE ONE!"
"HINATA!"
Kiba smirked victoriously as though he had won something and said "thanks for giving me Ruka, dobe."
Wait....what?! Before I could ask him what he meant Shikamaru cut me off.
"What is this troublesome game anyway" He asked curiously.
Kiba leaned closer and whispered, "you have to kiss her."
There was a long, long, long moment of silence and everyone simply stared at Kiba. Letting this new information slowly sink in.
"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled in disbelief.
"SIGN ME BACK UP!" Lee exclaimed "I WANT SAKURA-CHAN!"
"TO LATE!" Kiba yelled "SASUKE HAS TO KISS HER!"
"Hn" Sasuke said simply, leaning against a wall.
"You want me to kiss that troublesome women" Shikamaru said "good grief!"
"Kiss Tenten" Neji said thinking "she'll probably kill me."
"NO WAY YOU TEME!" I yelled pointing at Kiba "I WILL NOT LET YOU KISS RUKA!"
"YOU HAVE NO CHOICE DOBE!" He yelled smirking "and whoever doesn't kiss their girl by the end of the day has to run around the village naked!"
Everyone's eyes widened and they all stared at Kiba who was smirking.
"So" he said slowly "are we in?"
There was a long tense pause and everyone started thinking. I have to kiss....Hinata?! I sighed in defeat, it's either that or run around the village naked.
"I'm in" Kiba said "definitely!"
"Why not" Neji said shrugging "I'm in."
"I'll kiss the troublesome women" Shikamaru said "I'm in."
"Hn" Sasuke said sighing "I'm in."
Everyone turned towards me as I gulped nervously and rubbed the back of my neck.
Kiss Hinata?
Run around the village naked?
"Count me in dattebayo!"
