Chapter 1: Waking Up Alone

Summary: What they say is true. What goes on in Vegas should stay in Vegas.

Las Vegas, Nevada/ Hotel:

1:00 PM…

The bright sun was shining through the cream colored room, placing its gentle rays on the young, now sleeping woman. The silky covers that covered her body slowly began to caress her cream colored legs as she shifted slightly, letting out a content sigh. With her dark blue hair fanned out from behind her, Hinata Hyuuga stretched out her arm to the opposite side of the bed, feeling for something.

When she felt that the familiar warmth was gone, her eyes shot open. She looked down next to her and sighed dejectedly. She knew that her face was probably a mess. All that hard work that Ino and Sakura put was all for nothing, but she didn't care.

She just wanted to see him again.

"But… He's… gone…" Wait a minute! She stopped herself as she tried to remember exactly what happened last night. She knew that she spent the night with someone (recalling the fact made her blush) but for the life of her she couldn't remember who it was and how exactly they had gotten in this position…

- Flashback…-

"Come on Hinata! We're in VEGAS for goodness sakes! Loosen up a little bit!"

Hinata just looked at her best friend Sakura. They all seemed to be ganging up on Hinata. Sakura, Ino, and TenTen just refused to understand. She absolutely hated partying. "I k-know that. B-but I-" The shy girl swallowed a gulp as she looked down and nervously rubbed her hands. "I-I'm just not the 'partying' type…"

"Oh come on, girl! It'll be all right!" Ino stepped closer and threw an arm around Hinata's slender shoulders. "Wanna know why? Because we'll be with you!"

The three girls were dressed for partying in their short skirts, tank tops, and heels but Hinata couldn't even bring herself dress up. Being only in her t-shirt and favorite pair of sleeping shorts, she was willing to skip out and spend the night at the hotel for a change. Too bad her friends had other plans for her.

"Exactly!" TenTen clapped her hands together as her cute face lit up with excitement. "And besides, this is America! Now's our chance to explore a place completely different from our hometown!"

The girls have been planning this summer trip for quite some time now. Being originally from Okinawa, Japan, the girls never had much of a chance to get out much, so when their university was hosting a trip to go to the United States for the summer they were absolutely thrilled. So after saving up the much needed cash (thanks to the many awful jobs and grueling, long hour shifts) they were able to go on this dream trip.

"Please say you'll go with us and not stay home alone? Plleeeeaaaasssse?" Oh no, now Sakura and the other girls were giving her the cute puppy dog face, which Hinata was hopelessly weak against. She sighed in defeat. "A-all right, I'll go… but I don't have anything cute to wear like you guys." Then again, Hinata believed that since she didn't have model looks like her friends, there was no way she could even think of dressing up like them.

"No worries Hina!" TenTen ran to her side of the bed and got out her duffle bag, searching through it for a suitable outfit.

"Okay, we still have time, so let us do your makeup real quick!" While TenTen was searching for some clothes for her, Ino and Sakura forced Hinata down on the bed as they got out their beauty bag. Oh no, they're taking out the big guns! Hinata watched in horror as her best friends lined up the foundation, blush, lip gloss, and mascara on the bed next to her.

"N-no! Please! No makeup!" Hinata never put on makeup. Ever. She knew that it would make her look weird, so that's why she never tried putting it on. "I'll look terrible with it!" She shut her eyes tightly as Sakura rubbed her face lightly with a brush that had some foundation on it.

"Hina-chan, don't be afraid of a little makeup." Sakura giggled. "It's true that you really don't need it, since you look really beautiful without anything on."

Psh, please. Hinata, beautiful? The blue haired girl let out a small snort. Calling her beautiful was like saying the sky was red. "Yeah, Sakura's right." Now it was Ino's turn as she brushed her cheeks with a light pink colored blush. "We're just putting some makeup on to enhance your already there beauty, and stop making that snorting sound! It's unattractive and very unladylike."

So Hinata did her best to stay still as her friends finished their makeover for her.

"All right, I think I found the perfect outfit for you!" TenTen held up a cute looking, frilly pale blue blouse and a jean skirt. "You can wear my white sandals since I'm pretty sure that you're not quite used to wearing heels." Ino and Sakura stepped away from Hinata as TenTen made the shy Hyuuga stand up. "Now it's time to dress you up!" With lightning speed and amazing dexterity, TenTen took off her shirt (without even smearing her makeup!) and shorts, leaving her in a very vulnerable position with her panties and bra on.

"N-no! W-wait! I can dress m-myself TenTen! Honestly!" Blushing madly, she tried to cover herself. Even in front of her friends she was afraid to be seen even half naked.

"Okay, calm down!" The girls giggled at her as Sakura handed her the outfit. "Go ahead and change in the bathroom, we'll wait for you!"

"Oh, and you're welcome! We are always happy to help make you look hott!" Ino yelled out happily as Hinata rolled her eyes and made her way to the restroom.

She flicked on the lights and shut the door behind her and jumped at her reflection. Was that really… her? No, it couldn't be! Her hair would usually be flat and dull, her eyes were colorless and boring, her lips always thin and white, and her complexion always too pale.

So knowing how Hinata looked, there's no way that the girl staring at her in the mirror could be the Hinata Hyuuga. This girl's hair was shiny and silky, her eyes were big and were framed by long, dark, curved lashes, her lips were a light shade of pink and her complexion had a natural rose hue to it.

In short this girl was sexy as hell.

Remembering her friends and the fact that she was still in her undergarments, Hinata quickly put on the blouse and skirt. After a few seconds, she gazed at herself in the mirror and gaped. TenTen also did well in choosing her outfit. It was amazing because it didn't show any skin, but it did show off her natural curves and made her chest look prominent enough.

"Thank you Ino, TenTen, and Sakura…" Now she understood Ino's 'You're welcome!'

A sudden, loud knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Hey! Are you ready yet?" Upon hearing Sakura's cheerful voice, Hinata opened the door. Seeing the new and improved Hyuuga, the three girls squealed and gushed happily.

"Oh MY GOSH! YOU ARE SO FREAKING GORGEOUS! I knew that becoming a makeup artist would be my one true calling!"

"Oh dear, I think my heart just stopped!"

"The guys are going to DROOL after you!"

The shy girl's blush deepened as she smiled. "Y-you all really do think that I'm b-beautiful?"

"ABSOLUTELY!" All three of them said at once. "Now let's go! We've got a party to crash!" Looping their arms around each other, they all made their way out of the room and into the streets of Las Vegas…

Las Vegas Streets/ Outside the entrance of the Blush Nightclub:

"We're going to a n-nightclub?" Hinata could feel her eyes widen and her signature blush come back on her cheeks, making them appear redder than usual because of the makeup. She had never been to a nightclub in her hometown, let alone one in another country!

"It's going to be just fine! Trust us Hinata, we're all here to have a good time. Relax!" TenTen gently squeezed her shoulders as they neared the entrance with the bouncer.

The bouncer looked like your typical security guard type. With a square jaw, tough face, buzz cut hairstyle, and a buff body, he was perfect for the job. When he saw them, his annoyed face instantly turned into a happy face. They all paid their fee as he smiled. "Ah, welcome ladies, come on in." He unclasped the rope as the girls said "Thank you."

"Have a good time ladies."

"Oh we will." Ino looked at the bouncer slyly as she gave him a wink, making him blush.

When they stepped through and entered the club, it was like a completely different world. The floors were lit up with changing, cool colors along with the ceiling. Upbeat music was playing as it reverberated throughout the place. Bodies were clumped together as they danced. Plush seats were seen close to the sides of the club and some of the people occupied them, sipping their drinks as they conversed among themselves.

This is all too overwhelming for me. Sakura took a hold of Hinata's hand so that she wouldn't be swept away by the crowd. "Come on! Let's take a shot!" She heard Ino shout as they made their way towards the bar.

"Wha-what? A s-shot?" Now she knew that this was a bad idea! The only alcoholic beverage that she had ever consumed in all her 22 years was one of those really fruity and sweet wine coolers. It only had a teensy, tiny bit of alcohol yet it was more than enough to make her act all loopy and woosy! Just ask her cousin Neji…

As if reading her mind, Sakura gave her no chance of escaping as she held on to her tighter. "Oh no you don't! You are coming with us and letting loose! Do you hear me?" Reluctantly, Hinata came to the front of the bar with her friends. Ino spoke with the bartender and asked for a shot of something called 1800... What the heck was that?

In only a matter of seconds, the bartender got out four tiny glass cups and poured a clear amber liquid in them. Without missing a beat, he slid them down the table to where the girls sat. "Enjoy." He gave them one last wink as he walked over to his next client.

Hinata observed the tiny glass that held the clear amber liquid. It looked harmless, so what could be bad about it? She lowered her head, about to take a sip of the liquid until the strong scent of alcohol hit her. She immediately covered her mouth and held back a gag. There was no way she was drinking that sour liquid! No. Way!

"Ah ah ah, too late to chicken out now." Damn, her friends knew her way too well! TenTen and Sakura, who sat on both sides of her, made her clasp the glass cup.

"Now I know that you want to take a tiny sip of this drink, but that is not how you take a shot." Ino had to yell over the music and people as she explained how to take a shot. "You have to take it all in with one gulp! Hinata, since this is probably your first time, we'll all drink it together!"

Oh man, this was totally bad! Now she was getting nervous about drinking! "Okay, on the count of three, just down the shot okay?" Sakura smiled over at the other girls.

"One…" Sakura began as she raised her glass.

"Two…" TenTen continued the count as she winked at Hinata.

"Three!" That's when all four girls downed the shot within the second.

OHMYGOD IT BURNS!

Hinata could feel the cool yet hot liquid burn down her throat as it made its way to the pit of her stomach. This does not feel good at all! Once the burning liquid disappeared from her throat, she began to pant. "Oh p-please don't make me-" A small hiccup interrupted her. "Don't make me do that a-again."

Ino laughed at her. "Aw, see, it wasn't that bad! You're still alive!"

Sakura and TenTen murmured words of encouragement to her as they both patted her shoulders. That was when she felt the effects of the alcohol, her vision taking on a more blurred quality.Wow… why do I feel so… tingly? "S-so what do we do n-now?"

"We DANCE!" One by one, they went away from the bar and into the dance floor.

They all meshed together with the other groups of people as they danced to the music. Now normally, Hinata would never be caught dancing to some upbeat rave-esque song, but that was when she was sober. When she was not is a completely different story.

She swayed to the music and acted the way she looked: beautiful, free, and out to have fun. She didn't know that she could have this much fun just dancing!

That was when something strange happened.

The upbeat song suddenly changed into a gentle love song as the lights dimmed to a pale blue. Those who were single moved back to the plush seats and tables and those who had a significant other went into their lover's embrace as they danced. Hinata was about to go off to the side until she felt a hand grab her from behind. "Dance with me." The voice said. Giving her no other option, the man turned her around to face him as he wrapped his arms around her slender form. This greatly surprised her, but in the feel good, pleasant way.

They both danced to the music as Hinata tried to figure out who this man was and why he chose to dance with her out of all the beautiful and single girls here. Even though she was facing the man, she could only see his wide chest. Obviously, he was probably a good foot taller than her. The pleasant feeling turned into a slight nausea as her partner gently raised her head to meet his gaze.

With the effects of the alcohol still in her body, her vision was still blurred as she was met with a blurry, pale face. The dim lighting did nothing to clear his image, but she could see that he had a full head of dark hair. "You're beautiful. Do you know that?"

She gulped and tried to find the words to answer him, but she could only shake her head in response. She saw him lower his head towards her as he captured her lips. He kissed her passionately as they both tasted each other. What… am I doing? They both deepened the kiss, as if they couldn't get enough of each other.

Reluctantly, the mysterious man broke the kiss and stared down at her. The kiss only made her senses even more out of it as she tried to focus on what he looked like. "Please, come with me."

She didn't know what got over her, but she knew that she wanted him. Whoever he was, he made her feel good and she wanted that. She knew that she would have to explain this to Ino and the others, but she didn't care right now.

With a mere nod of her head, she placed her hand within his as they both made their way out of the club…

-End Flashback…-

After they both left the club, he brought her to his room, this room, and continued to kiss. The man was so caught up in the moment that he didn't even bother to turn on the lights to his room. She blushed when she thought about last night. She could almost feel those hard muscles as his hands gently explored her body, telling her how beautiful she was as he-

She shook her head and nearly slapped herself for having such dirty thoughts. This was her second experience at doing the deed, her first was with her ex boyfriend Naruto (which was probably one of the biggest regrets of her life) but this one could well easily be her next biggest regret. She didn't even KNOW what the guy looked like, and she had slept with him! What had gotten into her anyways?

Groaning to herself, she looked down and saw that she was dressed in a strange, silk, cream colored nightgown. She gasped. How did she not notice this? And who on earth had dressed her? Looking over to the corner of the room, she saw that her clothes were neatly folded and placed on top of a table with a note on it. Slowly, she got out of bed and walked towards the table and picked up the piece of paper. In neat print, it read:

Thank you for last night, it was great, perfect.

When you wake up and find this note, I will be gone.

If you want to see me again, find me.

The moment you call my name, I will come for you.

-'Me'

P.S. I hope that you enjoy the nightgown and that it is luxurious enough for a beauty like you.

She gaped at the note, her heart hammering against her chest and hoped that what they said about Vegas was true. What goes on in Vegas will STAY in Vegas.
