I LOVE YOU, SHINIMEGAMI7!!! (God, did I spell that right?)

REPLIES!!!!!11122sixnine
 
Shinimegami7: Hare Krishna… Hare Krishna… YOU ROCK SO FREAKING MUCH!
 
Wyntermajik: I know, wasn't she? … He? It? -I'm never sure about gender anymore. -cries- Sorry.-
 
TheFutureFreaksMeOut: UPDATE, FOOL! And if that picture still doesn't work, I can e-mail it to you, if you want! I saved it! -squirrelly face-
 
Iwa-kun: Oh, so it's IWA-KUN, now? … XD I have no room to complain. When I first found out I could change my screen name, I changed it… constantly. XDDD ANYWAY! (Ooh, stole your catch phrase) I made this chapter a bit more interesting (I hope). Hope that four thousand-word review is easier this time! XD I love you, I hope you know. Longest review I've ever gotten. I loved your little anecdotes. CX And I'm stealing that telemarketer idea for later in the fic. Hope you don't mind, I'll be sure to give credit where credit is due! Ah… Deidara angst? Oh, just you wait, hun. I didn't want to pile it on too thick, but just you WAIT. Deidara may even out-angst Gaara!
 
Gaara: … Don't fuck around with things like that, woman.
 
… OO `Kay, he won't come CLOSE to out-angsting Gaara… But he's still pretty angsty. See, later on, you'll look back on this and it'll all make sense. I can't say anything now, because it'd spoil everything.
 
(For the record, whenever I write `angsting', it's underlined with red, seeing as it's not really a word. It's only substitute is `ingesting'. XD That brought me so much glee.)
 
In reference to your guess on the note writer… MAYBE! MAYBE NOT! I shall NEVAH reveal the note writer! You know, except later on… Fudge. You know what I mean.
 
Yeah, Kankuro's definitely the type to totally La-La Land (which TOTALLY needs to be capitalized) off. Heh. Poor Naruto.
 
I think I'm going to twist Shisui's character a bit. You know… make it so that you can't completely hate him. How shall I do it? Well, I shan't review it to you HERE! XD
 
I love Yashamaru. I really do. You know, he's a total bastard, but in the anime, he says he TRIED to love Gaara, but he couldn't. Makes him human, ya know?
 
Yashamaru: …?
 
Kat: Don't worry, Sweetie. We don't pay you to think.
 
Yashamaru: … Okay.
 
Hun, after a review like that, you can go ahead and take my spleen. And take my liver, and one of my kidneys, and take my appendix and tonsils while you're at it, seeing as I don't need those. And my wisdom teeth so I don't have to get them pulled. Urgh. Hey! After the four thou one, you can have my legs, gull bladder, and stomach, too!
 
Junsui Kegasu: Yeah, definitely more KankyItachi. Don't you worry your pretty little head. XD
 
Shadow Vampiress: Here, here. I LIKE this chapter! I though I did well on it! NO NEED TO TAKE OUT THE BAT! -is fearful-
 
Hurricane-rider: Here! There's SOME SasuGaa in this chapter, but there will be MORE in the next chapter! -gasp- Hey, know what? You should totally draw something for this fic, too! I mean, I think you're really good, so it'd be really cool, yeah! XD I LOVE DEIDARA! I mean, you don't have to if you don't want! I just think it would be so totally freaking awesome.
 
Anne Cwa: HELL YES! DOWN WITH THE BITCHES!
 
Bitenshi: Uh, CHYA I rule. X-D I'm really starting to like Kankuro x Itachi pairing. I'm glad I put it in… Way back when I first started the fic, I almost paired Itachi with Kisame. But then Kankuro would be alone, and Kankuro is a sexy BEAST who can't be left alone! XD That, and I wanted some crack pairings, too.
 
Jasmine Starlight: HELL YES! GO TAY! XD Thanks so much!
 
hex: Yeah, yeah! As soon as I stop drawing like a two-year-old, I'll TOTALLY have some art up! X_X Heh. I suck, seriously. It's… terrible… -looks at old art- -shudders- Oh… I think I'll stick to writing… BUT! I think I may try drawing something for this fic. I really want to… Wish I didn't suck so badly. RAWR!
 
Fantastical Queen Ebony Black: Yeah, Sasori and Deidara are both missing something… but they are, truly, hard to write for. I mean, they're practically OCs sometimes because, you know, I know so little about the characters! X\ Ugh. Way to go! Bitch-slap Shisui to HECK! -punches air- LURVE Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I haven't been graced with the pleasure of seeing the whole thing! -cries- AAAGH! WHY MUST I BE DENIED THE MOST ULTIMATE OF ALL MOVIES? Wait! Good movie about transsexuals (or… well… crossdressers and gays… those aren't the same, really.): THE BIRDCAGE! Ahh… La Cage de Folles… :heart: Best movie ever. The Birdcage… If you haven't seen it, you totally should. BAND NERDS KICK ASS! HOO HAH!
 
They Call Me Socks: -cowers in fear of armadillo- HERE! DON'T KILL ME! Meep! XD
 
 
Kat: OKAY! That's everyone, I hope! Did I miss anyone? If I did, tell me, and I'll give you a super-duper hug in the next chappie. XD Okay! Read and review, oh mighty ones!

Kankuro furiously rubbed his arms, as he stood in front of the ticket booth in the cold air. It was a minute to nine, according to his watch. The movie started at nine fifteen, and no one else was there yet.
 
Well, that wasn't entirely true. Gaara was there, and so was `Ri, who had decided at the last minute that she wanted to come after all.
 
“Ten-Ten invited me,” she insisted the night before, arrogantly flipping her loose hair over her shoulder. “I'm just coming with her. What's the big deal?”
 
`Nothing, now,' Kankuro thought mournfully, looking up at the large `Sold Out' sign pasted up in the front window of the box office. `How is a movie at nine fifteen in the fucking morning sold out already?'
 
“I can't get a hold of Itachi,” Gaara informed him softly, closing the cell phone with a sigh. “Must be in a dead zone, or something.”
 
“You think?” Temari said thinly, rolling her eyes. She was seated on the bench next to Gaara, wearing jeans instead of a mini-skirt. At least Kankuro was happy that she had finally found her common sense.
 
Kankuro sighed. He had totally forgotten to buy tickets, and now the movie was completely sold out. He couldn't even take out his frustration on the person behind the counter; it was just a little old lady, who smiled sweetly at him whenever he looked at the box office. What would he do when everyone else showed up?
 
“Kankuro, you all right?” It was Haku. He was speaking from behind Zabuza's arm, which was rested on the smaller teen's shoulders.
 
“No! No I am not!” Kankuro said. “The movie is sold out!”
 
“I thought you got tickets…?” he asked weakly.
 
“I forgot.”
 
“How could you forget?”
 
“I'm Kankuro, remember?”
 
Haku paused, and turned this nugget of information over in his head, his brow creasing.
 
“Yeah, guess that's true,” he said, sighing with defeat. “What do we do now?”
 
“I don't know. You're the smart one.”
 
“No, I'm the pretty one. ZABUZA'S the smart one,” Haku said with a giggle. Zabuza rolled his eyes, and Kankuro shook his head.
 
“Damn. I feel really dumb right now,” he said, giving up, and sitting down on the pavement.
 
“I bet!” Haku said. He wandered out from under Zabuza's arm, and drifted over to the box office. “Hello, ma'am?” he said, putting on his best cute-little-girl voice.
 
“Yes, dear, how can I help you?” said the woman, whose name was Gladys. She had noticed how much this girl resembled her granddaughter, and was overcome with a need to help her in any way possible. Gladys was a simple woman who did not own a television or radio, but loved children.
 
 
“Please, ma'am, could you tell me what movies are playing?” Haku asked. Gladys nodded.
 
“We only have one movie that isn't sold out, I'm afraid. `The Attack of the Living Dead Blood Monsters,” she said, squinting down at her list. “It's playing at nine forty-five.”
 
“Okay. Thank you,” Haku said with a smile. He turned, and walked back over to Kankuro and Zabuza. “'Attack of the Living Dead Blood Monsters,'” he said with a nod. “At nine forty-five. That's all that's playing.”
 
“Oh?” Kankuro grumbled from his spot on the ground, his head in his hands. “What would you like ME to do about it?”
 
“We could go see THAT instead,” Haku offered, with a shrug. “But I don't know… it sounds scary.” He frowned. Haku did not like scary movies in the slightest. He preferred romantic comedies, or even romantic tragedies. Like `Titanic.' Haku was, yes, a hopeless romantic.
 
“Whatever. We'll wait until everyone else shows up,” Zabuza grunted, still standing like a soldier.
 
But of course, that did not happen for quite some time. Ten-Ten, along with Tayuyu, drove up two minutes later, followed quickly by Neji, Hinata, and Kiba in a limousine. Heinz was not a very happy camper that day. Soon after, Iruka and Yashamaru dropped Naruto, Sasori (who had just heard about this little fiasco care of Kankuro at nine the previous night) and Deidara off, stating that they would be back `sometime today', before driving off. Itachi and Sasuke came next, Itachi smiling, and Sasuke scowling, until he saw Gaara. Lee appeared five minutes later, huffing and puffing, claiming that he had run all of the six miles there. And everyone believed him. Chouji's father, Choumaru, dropped him off a minute later.
 
Shikamaru didn't show up until nine-thirty. By then, everyone knew of the predicament that they were in, and the choices they had. Go home, or watch `Attack of the Living Dead Blood Monsters'.
 
Ten-Ten made the decision for them.
 
“Everyone is STAYING,” she commanded, her hands on her hips.
 
No one objected.
 
“Here, everyone, pass your money in. I'll go get everyone tickets,” Kankuro said, back on his feet. Zabuza passed over a twenty, for both he and Haku, Ten-Ten forked over a ten, Lee shoved a wad of one-dollar bills into Kankuro's hands, Neji gave (to everyone's surprise) a fifty, stating that he'd pay for anyone who forgot. Sasuke, eager to be better than the Hyuga, also passed over two twenties, stating that he'd do the same.
 
“Looks like you're paying for me, too,” Itachi laughed, with a grin. Sasuke glared at him.
 
After the money had been counted, Kankuro ambled over to pay for the tickets.
 
“Oh, I hope this movie isn't too scary,” Haku said, pressing a hand to his face. Naruto `humphed'.
 
“NOTHING scares me!” he proclaimed. Sasuke walked up behind him, and jammed his fingers into the blonde's sides. “AAAIIIEEE!” Naruto squealed, jumping about a foot into the air, and flipping around. “UCHIHA-BASTARD! I OUGHTA KICK YOUR ASS!”
 
“Yeah, good luck with that,” Sasuke said, crossing his arms, and grinning.
 
“I huh-hope it isn't tuh-too scary eith-ther,” Hinata said, twiddling her fingers. Kiba awkwardly put an arm around her shoulders.
 
“It won't be scary,” he said, waving his free hand through the air.
 
“The fuck's up with the title, though?” Tayuyu said. “'Attack of the Living DEAD Blood Monsters?'”
 
“No idea,” Ten-Ten said, shaking her head.
 
Shikamaru yawned.
 
“I can't believe how late you were,” Temari scoffed, her hips slung to the side. “Have some respect, why don't you.”
 
“Too troublesome,” Shikamaru droned, closing his eyes.
 
“All right, people!” Kankuro said, walking up. “Let's head on in! Movie's starting in ten minutes!” The tickets were passed out, and the group headed in slowly, no one going too fast. They stopped, everyone buying snacks with their remaining money. (“Oh, Zabuza, what should I get?” “Whatever, Haku.” “But it all looks so good!” “Whatever, Haku.”)
 
They got past the ticket checker without trouble. She told Kankuro, “Theatre … teen.”
 
Kankuro didn't have enough sense to ask what she had said.
 
“Good bye, paycheck,” Ten-Ten sighed, her arms full with a large popcorn, Milkduds, and a medium diet Pepsi.
 
“Oh, you poor thing,” Temari laughed, swinging her Green Tea Sobe in one hand and her medium popcorn clutched against her waist. “I'll make it up to you. We can go shopping later, hm?”
 
“Definitely! You can come too, Tayuyu.”
 
Tayuyu laughed, almost dropping her Pepsi and Reese's Pieces.
 
Lee was walking beside Ten-Ten, a large soda, and a small popcorn in his arms.
 
“LIQUIDS ARE THE FUEL OF YOUTH!”
 
“Does soda count as a liquid…?” Ten-Ten inquired.
 
“… YES!”
 
Gaara had a small popcorn and a kids' soda, which he stared at derisively. “This is sad,” he grumbled.
 
“Hey, I'll share with you,” Sasuke said with a smirk, holding up his own large popcorn. Gaara smiled.
 
Naruto, meanwhile, though not yet in the theatre, was guzzling his Mountain Dew, and shoveling popcorn into his mouth with gusto.
 
“You're going to choke,” Neji said plainly, having bought only a latte and a bag of gummy worms. Neji loved those gummy worms… Yum…
 
“Yeah, yeah,” Naruto said. “You're worse than Iruka.”
 
Neji rolled his eyes.
 
Deidara, on the other hand, had ignored the popcorn completely, and had gone straight for the candy rack.
 
“Butterfingers, yeah!” he cried, lifting his bag full triumphantly into the air. Sasori, who had only a Pepsi and a small popcorn, sighed, and shook his head.
 
“You are going to be WIRED if you eat all that.”
 
“That's the plan, yeah!”
 
“Oh God…”
 
“You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into,” Kankuro said, grinning. Sasori grimaced, his left eyes twitching slightly.
 
“Shut up, Junior.”
 
“WHAT?” Kankuro made a threatening gesture with his popcorn, which Sasori almost laughed at. Itachi tossed a piece of ice at the back of Kankuro's head. It slid down his hat and into the back of his shirt. “YOW! COLD!” he squeaked, hopping around, trying to free the ice from his shirt.
 
“Dance, my puppet, dance!” Sasori said, with a very menacing laugh that caused everyone to stare at him nervously. He coughed into his hand. “I think this is the theatre.” He nodded behind him at the black door, with a number `13' on it.
 
“I think you may be right,” Kiba said, juggling his large popcorn, large 7-Up, and Kit-Kat bar. “Come on, I gotta put this stuff down!”
 
“All right, all right, don't get your panties in a bunch,” Haku said, pushing open the door with his foot. Hinata giggled, and Kiba blushed.
 
“For your information, I do NOT wear PANTIES!” he hissed, his eyes flashing, as he walked into the theatre.
 
Sure you don't,” Ten-Ten laughed, walking in behind him. “Careful with that, Chouji.”
 
Chouji, who was carrying two large popcorns, a large soda, and a box of Mike-n-Ikes, nodded.
 
“I am,” he assured her.
 
Once everyone was in the theatre, all that was left was the matter of who would sit where. That wasn't much of a problem, though, as the entire room was devoid of life.
 
“Hang on,” Itachi said, setting down his diet soda and popcorn. “I've always wanted to do this!” he said, stretching his arms above his head. He stood at the start of the aisle, then took off at a run. He jumped into the air, and did a set of cartwheels, landing on his feet. “YES!” he said, punching the air. Everyone applauded, laughing hard. Sasuke rolled his eyes, and scowled.
 
“Okay! I call the front row, yeah!” Deidara said, sprinting down the aisle to the first row. Sasori shrugged, and followed him nonchalantly, admiring the scenery. Hinata sat down in the middle of the theatre, sliding down comfortably in her seat. Kiba followed her like a trained puppy, sitting down next to her. Itachi wandered around for a moment, before Kankuro grabbed his arm, and dragged him over to the left side of the room. Neji grabbed Naruto by the hand, and pulled him down close to the front, but far enough away from Deidara and Sasori, that they wouldn't hear Deidara slobbering all over his candy. Shikamaru found it too troublesome to go any further, and collapsed in the back row, next to Chouji, who finally ended up dropping his food into a seat, and sitting in the one next to it. Lee seated himself next to Chouji (“THE BACK ROW IS THE MOST YOUTHFUL!”). Ten-Ten, Temari, and Tayuyu sat down in the middle, passing their popcorn around, and sharing their snacks with each other. Haku skipped down close to the back, Zabuza trailing after him like a bodyguard. Finally, the only ones left standing were Sasuke and Gaara.
 
“Where do you want to sit?” Sasuke asked, looking over at the redhead, who shook his head.
 
“Wherever is fine,” he said, shrugging.
 
“Boo! Down in front!” Kankuro called from the side, tossing a handful of popcorn in the twos' direction, missing terribly.
 
“Kankuro, you throw like a woman.”
 
“Hey, I heard that, bitch!”
 
“I mean… you don't throw like a girl. You throw like… Deidara.”
 
“Yeah?”
 
“Nothing, Sweetie,” Itachi laughed, sinking down in his seat.
 
The lights were dimming, and Sasuke gestured that he and Gaara should sit down over at the side, close to the aisle. Gaara followed him.
 
Up on screen, the previews began flashing, Gaara rubbed his eyes. He was tired. No, he was exhausted, having slept very little the night before. It would be nice if he could just curl up next to Sasuke and go to sleep… but he wouldn't! Sasuke would probably be freaked out if he did something like that. Ugh. But he was so… tired…
 
He slid a hand into his pocket, feeling the cube the cube that Sasuke had given him weeks ago, and smiled. Hopefully, the cube's luck would work magic once more.
 
Itachi sighed, and rested his head against a closed fist, as the previews continued to sprawl themselves out across the screen. He was bored, now, waiting for this movie to start. He had no clue what it was about, so he couldn't say that he was really looking forward to it. But he WAS looking forward to the cover of darkness, he thought, as he looked over at Kankuro, who had an evil smile curling over his lips. Itachi wondered if he was thinking the exact same thing that HE was.
 
Haku leaned happily against Zabuza's shoulder, sucking at the straw sticking out of his soda. Zabuza sighed, rolling his eyes.
 
“Haku,” he said. “That's… MY soda.”
 
“I know!”
 
“…”
 
“…Uh… I love you, Zabuza!”
 
“…” Zabuza sighed again. “Whatever.”
 
Finally, the movie started. The title was blurred, though, as the person up with the film projector was still messing with it.
 
“Good… Lord…” Sasuke grumbled, rolling his eyes.
 
“Cheesy?” Gaara said with a grin.
 
“Oh. My. God. Yes.”
 
“I feel your pain.”
 
Meanwhile, Naruto and Neji were already heatedly making out down near the front, Naruto pulling away every few seconds, in typical Naruto fashion, to take a drink of Mountain Dew. Sasori glanced back at them, his face twisting into a grimace.
 
“Get a room!” he called in a hushed voice, tossing a piece of popcorn over towards them. It hit its target, dead on. Neji brushed the small white thing from his hair, and continued to kiss the blonde.
 
Ten-Ten sighed, and crossed her arms, as the beginning credits rolled.
 
“Is it over, yet?” Tayuyu asked, rolling her eyes.
 
“Nope. Sorry,” Temari whispered.
 
At that moment, the entire screen flashed white, causing everyone to jump.
 
The scene began playing out, starting with a view of someone's front door. There was the sound of a doorbell.
 
Then the scene switched to a blonde, large chested woman wearing only a small, blue, sating bathrobe. She walked over to the door, her thin, toned legs shining.
 
“Oh… That is SO airbrushed,” Tayuyu grumbled, blushing invisibly in the dark theatre.
 
“Definitely.”
 
“No question.” Temari and Ten-Ten nodded at each other.
 
By this point in the theatre, Neji and Naruto were not the only couple making out. Itachi and Kankuro began kissing intensely in their seats. Haku and Zabuza also began their own, more passionate, make-out session.
 
Gaara had finally given in to his fatigue, and had fallen asleep, his head on Sasuke's shoulder. The dark haired freshman didn't mind in the slightest.
 
“This is so boring,” Sasori grumbled, as the blonde woman opened the door, revealing a large muscled man, wearing an electrician's uniform.
 
“But it just got better!” Deidara laughed, eating two Butterfingers at once. Sasori raised an eyebrow, and shrugged.
 
“Helloooo, Luscious!” Ten-Ten murmured, pressing a hand to her lips. Temari's jaw dropped at the sheer hotness of the man on screen. Tayuyu rolled her eyes at her friends' antics.
 
The man came into the house, carrying a toolbox.
 
“Hello, Mrs. Cabrero,” he said, his voice deep and manly. “You called about a problem with your… television?”
 
“Oh, yes! Thank you for coming over so quickly, Dean,” Mrs. Cabrero said. “But we'll have to hurry. My husband will be home soon, and he doesn't like it when other people fix his television.”
 
“Ah, of course,” Dean said, closing the door behind him. “Then we'll make this fast.” He set down his toolbox, and unzipped the top part of his uniform, revealing a tan, muscled chest.
 
“… Drool…” Ten-Ten said, her eyes rolling back in her head for a moment. Temari giggled, and Tayuyu rolled her eyes again.
 
“Oh, please,” she said, crossing her arms. “All that guy really is, is a big hunk of- PENIS!” she screeched suddenly, pointing avidly at the screen. Mrs. Cabrero had just pulled down Dean the Electrician's pants, revealing that he had on no underwear. Nope! None!
 
“SWEET!” Ten-Ten said, leaning forward in her seat.
 
“AUGH! MY EYES!” Sasori cried from the front row, covering his face with his hands.
 
“Oh… my… yeah…” Deidara said, his eye growing round.
 
Itachi pulled away from Kankuro for a moment, looking over at the screen. Dean the Electrician, now going Commando, pulled off Mrs. Cabrero's robe, revealing that she, too, was wearing no underwear! None! They began kissing fervently, falling to the white carpet.
 
“AAAAH!! HETEROSEXUAL LOVE!” Kankuro screamed, pulling his hat down over his eyes.
 
Acting on a hunch, Itachi pulled his ticket stub out of his pocket. He read it over.
 
`Attack of the Living Dead Blood Monsters' - Theatre 14.
 
“Kankuro,” he asked icily. “What theatre is this?”
 
“Thirteen,” Kankuro moaned sickly, sliding down in his seat. Itachi glanced up at the screen.
 
“Oh, Dean! Oh, oh, ooooohhhh!”
 
Nope. Definitely not `Attack of the Living Dead Blood Monsters'.
 
Sasuke was staring up at the screen in horror. He frigidly shook Gaara awake.

“Five more minutes, Yashamaru,” Gaara slurred.
 
“Gaara, wake up!” Sasuke said. Gaara's eyes flew open.
 
“Huh? Wha…?”
 
“Don't look at the screen!” Sasuke hissed, turning his own face away.
 
“Why?” Gaara asked, turning to see the screen. His face turned from a look of curiosity, to one of sheer terror. “OH MY GOD!”
 
“I told you!”
 
At that moment, Naruto also noticed the screen. He stared up at it for a moment, before calmly standing up, and walking over to the aisle. Then he ran, screaming, up to the door, and out of the theatre.
 
Everyone quickly followed suit, although Temari and Tayuyu had to drag Ten-Ten away from the sight of Dean the Electrician.
 
Once out of the theatre, they gathered in the hall.
 
“Oh God…” Kankuro panted. “That was… HORRIBLE…”
 
“I'm scarred for life,” Shikamaru moaned, dropping his head into his head.
 
Haku was in Permanent Blush Mode, his face pressed against Zabuza's shirt. Zabuza's face was still stonily grim, though his eyes were slightly bloodshot.
 
“Hey… I forgot my snacks!” Chouji moaned. He walked up to the door, then teetered back and forth on the balls of his feet. “Oh… Phooey,” he grumbled, walking back to the group.
 
“… Anyone care to go and see the REAL movie?” Kankuro asked, looking down at his ticket stub. Everyone shook his or her head.
 
“God, no.”
 
“Any chance it'll be like THAT?”
 
“Hey, that was a good movie!” Ten-Ten protested. Everyone stared at her like she was crazy. “Well it was! It had a creative plot-“
 
“'Woman has sex with man.' Great plot, oh yeah,” Naruto sniped.
 
“Well… I spent money on this ticket, so I'm going to go and watch `Attack of the Living Dead Blood Monsters',” Ten-Ten said, displaying her ticket for all to see. “Anyone care to join me?”
 
“I SHALL ACCOMPANY YOU, TEN-TEN!” Lee proclaimed, punching the air. “FOR IT IS NOT YOUTHFUL TO LEAVE A WOMAN ALONE!”
 
“…” Ten-Ten decided that arguing with his logic just wasn't worth it.
 
“Fine, fine, I'll go, too,” Tayuyu said, crossing her arms. Temari nodded.
 
“Hey, after that, let's go shopping,” she said. “I've got Daddy's credit card and nothing else to do with it!”
 
“HELL YES!” Tayuyu said, giving Temari a high-five.
 
Eventually, the rest of the posse was convinced to join the girls. Temari grabbed Gaara's hand and pulled him aside as the group migrated to theatre fourteen. Her eyes were wide with excitement.
 
“Guess what?” she said, her brown orbs flashing dangerously.
 
“Wh…what?” Gaara asked hesitantly.
 
“After the movie… You get to come SHOPPING with me!” she said. “Isn't that FANTASTIC?” Then she dragged him into the theatre, as he desperately pulled at her vice grip.
 
“NOOOOOOO!”
 
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888< /div>
 
“GOD that movie sucked,” Itachi mumbled, rubbing his swollen lips, and leaning on Kankuro's shoulder. “It was just a shot of that chick's ass the ENTIRE time.”
 
“Amen, sister,” Temari said, shrugging. Itachi choked on his laughter. “So,” Temari continued, looking up at her brother. “Are you two a thing, now?”
 
They were outside of the cinemas now, standing in a group. The cold had all but lifted, leaving a pleasant temperature with enough clouds in the sky to keep the sun from baking everyone to a crisp.
 
“Whatever do you mean, Sister Dear?” Kankuro asked, his lips slowly curving up into a smile.
 
“I mean, are you and Itachi boyfriends or girlfriends or however the hell you do it,” she asked, still holding onto Gaara's hand to keep him from escaping.
 
Kankuro looked down at Itachi, who shrugged. “Yes…?”
 
“Oooh, that's AWESOME!” she squeaked in a very un-Temari like way. “You two ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER!”
 
“I'm glad… you… approve?” Kankuro said nervously, sensing something dangerous looming.
 
“YES! And I'm going to buy you matching outfits in celebration!”
 
Yup. There it was. The catch.
 
“Oh my God, you two are a couple?” Ten-Ten said, her eyes widening. Kankuro nodded. “Christ, it's about time!”
 
“…Eh?” Kankuro was quite dumbfounded.
 
“Well, you've been going at it since I met you! It's `bout time you actually DID something,” she said, with a shrug.
 
“Oh, you're so fucking cute I think I'm gonna be sick,” Tayuyu said. Ten-Ten grinned.
 
“That mean's she too approves,” the sophomore said with a nod. “Okay, voting time. Who liked the movie?”
 
“It was gross,” said Chouji. “Too much blood and guts.”
 
“Well, its got `Blood Monsters' in the title…”
 
Haku was clutching onto Zabuza like he was a lifeline.
 
“Scariest thing… I have ever seen…” he said, his eyes darting around. Zabuza dutifully wrapped an arm around his boyfriend with a sigh.
 
“I think it sucked,” Sasuke said, ever the optimist. Gaara shrugged.
 
“I, uh… kinda… slept through it,” he admitted, blushing.
 
“IT WAS AWESOME!” Naruto bellowed. “IT WAS ALL… BOOM! AND THEN BANG! AND THEN THE BLOOD ON THE WINDOWS? AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN-“
 
Neji silenced him by covering his mouth. With his own. Everyone decided to give them their privacy and only stare for a few minutes.
 
“THAT MOVIE WAS NOT A DISPLAY OF YOUTH!” Lee said firmly, nodding.
 
“I have to agree with you for once, Lee,” Shikamaru said with a yawn.
 
“It was bloody, yeah,” Deidara said, nodding serenely. Sasori stared at him for a moment. “Yeah?”
 
“You just chugged ten Butterfingers. Don't you feel…? I don't know,” he said, with a shrug. “Hyper? Sick?”
 
“I believe I have reached such a point that I can no longer feel adrenaline, nor nausea,” Deidara said. “…Yeah.”
 
Sasori blinked a few times.
 
“No more sugar for you,” he said, rolling his eyes, and pulling out a cigarette and a lighter. Deidara watched from the corner of his eye in horror as the senior lit the cigarette, and took a long drag off of it.
 
“ARGH!” the blonde cried, pulling the cigarette out of Sasori's mouth, and dropping it to the ground, before pounding it into nothing but tobacco and ashes. “SMOKING… IS… BAD… YEAH! SMOKING… IS… BAD… YEAH!” he hollered, accenting each word with a stomp onto what was once a cigarette. Sasori's eyes were wide with shock.
 
“You got it,” he said, putting his hands into the air in submission.
 
“GO DEIDARA! KICK HIS ASS!” Tayuyu hollered with a smirk.
 
“… Smoking is like the movie,” Kankuro said thoughtfully, nodding.
 
“So I take it no one wants to see the sequel?” Ten-Ten laughed. “All right, fools! Let's get this show on the road! Who's coming shopping with us? Temari and Gaara, I know that. Sasuke, wanna come too?” She looked over at the freshman, who shrugged.
 
“Whatever,” he said, standing next to Gaara, who breathed a sigh of relief.
 
“Anyone else? Noooo?” Ten-Ten looked from face to awkward face. “Hinata, you sure? We could use another girl…” Hinata turned slightly red.
 
“Well… I don't want to leave Kiba alone…”
 
“It's fine, Hina,” Kiba said, with a shrug. “Go have fun.”
 
“Oh, thanks, K-Kiba!” Hinata exclaimed, kissing Kiba on the cheek, and clapping her hands together. Kiba turned the color of a tomato.
 
“Peachy keen! Tayuyu, you're driving, I take it?”
 
“You bet you ass I'm driving.” Tayuyu had already pulled out her keys. The redhead had been held back the year before, so she was older than the rest of the girls in her grade. She also had a drivers' license, which was very, VERY good.
 
“Okay. Everyone got a ride home?” Ten-Ten said, making sure no one would be left alone. Neji checked his watch.
 
“Heinz'll be here in five minutes,” he said.
 
“Hey, can I get a ride with you guys?” Naruto asked. Neji nodded.
 
“Sure.”
 
“Good for you. Anyone else? Lee, ride with Shikamaru, got it?” she commanded, jabbing one finger at the fellow sophomore's chest. “I don't want you getting hit by a car!”
 
“YES! GETTING HIT BY A CAR WOULD NOT BE YOUTHFUL!” Lee exclaimed, saluting Ten-Ten, who saluted back.
 
“That's right, fool,” Ten-Ten said. “Okay. Ladies, and Sasuke, let's be off!”
 
Gaara felt he should voice some indignation at being referred to as a woman, but Temari's grip on his hand was so tight that it was beginning to ache, and he didn't want her to start punching him or something. Besides, Sasuke didn't seem to mind him being called a woman… maybe he was into that sort of thing?
 
ARGH! PERVERTED THOUGHTS! Focus, Gaara. You have an afternoon of shopping to go through.
 
“I'm hungry,” Temari said, once they had piled into Tayuyu's purple, pink, and green Volkswagen hippie van. It was the only thing she had been able to afford, and she needed SOMETHING to get from point A to point B that her mother would bitch at her about for scratching. “I left all my crap in the… other theatre… when we ran out, and I only had a yogurt for breakfast this morning.”
 
“Me too,” the female redhead stated, starting the car. It stalled, then revved to life. “Let's go to… I dunno… where to, boys?” she said, adjusting the mirror so she could see the two in the very back.
 
“Wherever is fine with me,” Gaara said, tugging at his seatbelt. Sasuke nodded.
 
“Hinata, any preference?” Ten-Ten asked from the passenger side. Hinata and Temari were in the second row of seats.
 
“W-Well… I… k-k-kind of want…” She blushed. “Is p-pizza okay?”
 
“PIZZA! YES!” Tayuyu said, speeding out of the parking lot. “Perfect! You are a very smart person, Hin.”
 
Hinata flushed, and smiled.
