Chapter 9

When Tenten got back from soccer practice with Neji, her face was red and her face was set in a look that basically told everybody around her to back off.

"How was soccer practice?" asked Ino.

"TERRIBLE! NEJI REFUSES TO LET ME TEACH HIM SOCCER BECAUSE I'M A GIRL AND HE THINKS THAT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SPORT! THE BASTARD THINKS THAT I'M JUST USING SOCCER AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND OR SOMETHING! I'M THE FREAKING CAPTAIN OF THE SOCCER TEAM, FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHY THE HELL WOULD HE THINK THAT?"

"Should I get you a glass of water?" suggested Hinata.

"Coke please," Tenten rasped. Her voice was hoarse after her rant about Neji.

The rest of the evening was pretty uneventful. We ate dinner and went to bed as usual. As I soon figured out, the night would be pretty eventful.

In the middle of the night, the crunching on asphalt woke me up. I'm not a good sleeper, you see. At first, I thought it was Naruto stocking his trailer's fridge with ramen AGAIN, but then I remembered that Naruto usually had his radio on, and his headlights would blare. Basically, Naruto made a spectacle of himself whenever he drove into the trailer park, and this person did not.

Naturally, I wanted to figure out who this person was, so I silently got out of bed without falling, and stumbled out of the trailer. A few seconds later, it registered in my brain that I was wearing my Lucky Ducky pajamas. The pajamas had a top that was white, save for a duck face and the words LUCKY DUCKY in big dark green font, and lots of ducks on the pants. I didn't really care, considering I would be doing lots of hiding during this stealth mission.

I crept after whoever this person was. By this point, the car had stopped, and I saw the person, whoever it was, run REALLY quietly, save for a few crunches on the asphalt, towards the guys' trailers. Naturally, I followed. Almost NO visitors were allowed on set, except for family. This was rule breaking at its worst.

I got to the boys' trailers, and hid behind Kiba's. I saw the person go into Sasuke's trailer. Since I'm the stealthiest girl I know, I hid behind Sasuke's trailer and heard the stranger's voice. As it turned out, it was a voice I knew very well from interviews on TV: Karin. I heard some small talk, and then some noises that sounded like it does when people make out. Since I was totally grossed out, I planned to creep back to the trailer that I shared with my friends and go to sleep. Of course, fate was cruel to me.

I didn't make it too far before I slipped on something. I think I was near Naruto's trailer, and I slipped on a pile of some weird white stuff. Then, my brain remembered that at lunch today, Naruto discovered that the ramen he was eating was making him sick, so he threw up in the bathroom, and dumped out the rest NEAR HIS TRAILER.

How stupid can I get?

Naturally, it only got worse when my instincts yelled, "OUCH! DAMN THAT HURT!" because falling on your butt hurts really badly, and I woke up Kiba and Naruto. To make matters worse, they saw my Lucky Ducky pajamas. Guess they aren't so lucky ducky after all.

I knew that tomorrow was going to be hell.
