Rewritten! Ino is bored and to pass the time everyone decides to play a fun game of I never.

Ino was bored. Incredibly, utterly bored. Sitting in the grass of a random field that her teammates had dragged her two after their sensei ordered them to spend time together was not fun. Nor was it interactive really. And Ino was nothing if not active.

"I'm bored! Entertain me!" Ino yelled, looking pointedly at her lazy teammates sitting next to her. Eyes narrowed and eyebrow raised expectantly. Shikamaru raised his dark-haired pineapple head to look at her for barely a second before letting it fall back down so he could look at the clouds. His dark eyes closed, ignoring her. Ino felt her hand twitch as she contemplated hitting the lanky teenage boy before her.

You would think making Chunin would get rid of some of the laziness, but no.

Sighing, Ino focused on Chouji. Her overweight teammate with kind eyes and redish brown hair. She gave him the puppy dog eyes, which usually worked.

"What should we do?" Chouji asked, tilting his head in question. Ino opened her mouth to respond, but nothing came out.

"Ah!" Ino groaned, squeezing her blue eyes shut and running her hands through her blond hair in frustration, "I have no idea!" The boys sweat-dropped and returned to cloud watching, both now ignore her guiltlessly. Or in Shikamaru's case, continued to. A few second of silence and the curvy girl had an idea. She snapped her fingers and smiled at her teammates, "Let's play a drinking game."

"Eh? Like what?" Shikamaru asked, actually a little curious. He sat up slightly to look at Ino, knowing it would make her explain faster.

"Well, we could play I never," Ino suggested, putting a finger to her chin in thought for a moment, "We would need more players first, and alcohol."

"We could round up the other two genin teams, and maybe Team Gai," Chouji added, grinning happily as he ate some of his chips. Ino giggled, grabbing both teammates' hands and pulling them to their feet before dragging them through town. She found Sakura in record time and explained the idea. Soon the two girls were gathering everyone at Shikamaru's cloud watching field. TenTen had graciously brought a few bottles of hard liquor and eleven shot glasses.

"So, we should first explain the rules so everyone is clear on them," Sakura said, a finger in the air like she had made some important point.

"Eh, whatever," Ino waved her off, sounding eerily like her lazy teammate, "Basically, someone says 'I never'…and then something they have never done. Then whoever has done that, takes a shoot, understand?" Once everyone nodded she added, "Since it was my idea, I will start. I never…dyed my hair." Sakura glared at her and took a shot. Shikamaru followed suit silently, much to Ino's amusement. Several eyebrows raised at that and looked expectantly at Shikamaru to explain.

"Ino put washable green dye in his shampoo for April Fools," Chouji explained cheerfully, getting a glare from his best friend. A round of laughter went through the group before Chouji, who was sitting on Ino's right, continued the game. "I never went a whole day without eating before," Chouji announced rather proudly. Several snickers went through the group as it became obvious that Team Ten was aiming at each other. Ino and Sakura both took reluctant shots, and Shikamaru took his second.

"Slept through the day, didn't you?" Ino deadpanned, looking at the teen on her left with an eye roll. He nodded in boredom, apparently unaffected by the alcohol.

"Alright, my turn!" TenTen cheered as the game continued clockwise "I never wear ponytails." Ino, Shikamaru, Lee, and Neji all took a drink at that. TenTen grinned triumphantly at getting both her teammates in one go.

Sakura joked when she saw Shikamaru taking his third shot "Is there anything you haven't done Nara?"

"Yup, but you won't find out for a while," Shikamaru shot back before Lee jumped up in his usual youthful style.

"Now, my youthful friends! It is my turn!" Lee cheered, giving them all thumbs up, "I never miss training!" Sighing, both of his teammates took a shot, matching looks of shame on their face. Shikamaru stuck his tongue out at Sakura and took another shot. Kiba and Naruto pouted as they were forced to take a shot.

"Wow. Nice one Lee," Ino told him, smiling as half the circle took a drink.

"Hn…" Neji narrowed his eyes at the blond before reluctantly speaking, "I never give compliments." Every single person in the circle took a drink at that, irking Ino slightly.

"Well…" Sakura thought aloud as she contemplated her choices. Every person looked worried when a vicious smile grew across the pinkette's face. Clearing her throat, Sakura said, "I have never had sex." A blush descended on the entire group as they all looked to each other curiously, waiting to see who would be the first to take a shot.

Shikamaru, it seemed, had done this too. After a slight pause, Ino took her own shot and then pointedly avoided everyone's eyes. Sakur's jaw literally dropped as she looked between the two, trying to decide whether or not it was possible they had done it together or separately. Another short pause before TenTen, Neji, and Kiba all took their own shots. Lucky for them, everyone's eyes were still on the two thirteen year old teammates. Even Chouji was eyeing them carefully.

"Hehe…" Naruto scratched his face at the awkward setting, "Well, I've never gone a whole day without ramen." Sakura began to giggle at those words as she took her shot. Closely followed by everyone else, including the food-loving Chouji.

"Only you, Naruto," Sakura patted his back in humor as Hinata began to woozily tilt towards him.

Before she could pass out completely the Hyuuga Heiress managed to take her turn, "I have never kiss my childhood crush." With those parting words Hinata fell onto Naruto's shoulder and he carefully laid her down on the ground, taking off his jacket so the gentle girl could have a pillow.

"Well, I think it is obvious that Hinata has a low tolerance for alcohol," Kiba deadpanned, chuckling to himself. Shino hit him over the head, fixed his glasses and then corrected his teammate.

"For a girl her size and inexperience with alcohol, I think two full shots of hard liquor is a relatively good tolerance," Shino told him pointedly, and then added, "And I believe it is your turn."

Kiba grumbled, glaring at his teammate as he rubbed the back of his head, "I've never been inside a girl's bedroom." Each girl, with the exception of the unconscious Hinata, took a shot. Shikamaru and Chouji were the old guys able to take shot at that, both pointing at Ino when met with questioning looks.

Ino shrugged as Shino took his turn, "I have never stepped on a bug." He watched them all warily when every person took a shot; Kiba visibly shook his head at the bug boy's nervousness.

Shikamaru sighed as it finally became his turn, Sakura was watching him with narrow, if slightly hazy, eyes. "I never clean my room," Shikamaru told them in a rather anti-climactic scene. Sakura huffed in annoyance as she took a shot, with most people following suit.

Ino tapped him on the shoulder and gave him a pointed look, "I have never taken ten shots in row during a game of I never." Shikamaru sealed his fate as the man who had done everything that game when he took one last shot before the game broke up.

Neji picked up the sleeping Hinata to sneak back into the Hyuuga Compound. TenTen following behind him with the shot glasses carefully piled into her bag. Lee helped a hazy Sakura back to her apartment. Kiba and Naruto took the remaining alcohol and dragged Shino away to do things no one really cared about.

This left Team Ten exactly where they were at the beginning. Shikamaru was watching his clouds again, Chouji was eating his chips, and Ino…

"I'm bored again!"
