Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Thanks for reading my new story, hope you enjoy it.

Please review after reading, I would like to know about my sorta new writing style.

To make one thing clear, just incase there is some confusion. This story isn't related to my other 2 Naru/Ino's.

Chapter One: It's Just Begun

I watched him as he threw his hands up and paced back and forth. I wish I could say I understood him, but the constant stopping mid sentence and the random pitch of his yelling were making it nearly impossible. If this was any other day I would stop him and make him relax, but he started this talk, or rather rant, with the only thing I understood… "We broke up."

"I tried Naruto! I really did! But nooo, apparently I'm not good enough for her! Goddamn her and her stupid father!" he sat down and put his head in his hands. I sighed. If he kept that up I would have been screaming at him.

"And you broke up with her…because of her father?" I was shocked. He couldn't be this dumb.

"It was for the best…If she finds someone better, her father will leave her alone, he's tough on her as it is."

"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" I yelled. "She needs you just as much as you need her!"

"It's too late now!" Kiba yelled back.

"Look Kiba, you how Hinata's father is. There's no point in getting mad at her for him being such a stubborn old man." I could hear his muffled groan break through. One of us had to be positive here, that one being me. "Come on cheer up." I shook him by his shoulders. "You promise me you'll cheer up and I'll buy us drinks tonight."

Kiba's hand shot up lighting fast. "Deal."

To be honest I didn't think he'd take me up on it. Okay so maybe I did, but still. I just wish I hadn't decided to involve drinking in this equation. We grouped back up at the local bar around 7pm and here he came. Slightly stumbling over himself, laughing at nothing, yelling at a tree to "Watch where I'm walking asshole". Yup, he had a few before coming here. I'm just glad I'm not the only one here. I managed to drag Sasuke, Chouji, Shino and Shikamaru along for this, what I'm sure is going to be, interesting night. He finally managed to make his way over.

"Have a nice conversation with the tree?" Shikamaru said. Sasuke and Shino sighed, Chouji hid his laughter behind his hand. Way to break the ice guys…

Kiba snorted in response. "I thought someone bumped into me."

"Dude we made plans for this no more than three hours ago…how are you drunk?"

"Three hours ago? A bit too excessive wouldn't you say Dog Boy?" Sasuke was just having fun now.

"Screw you…" He paused for a sec and stood there. Is he going to puke? He belched loudly."Uchiha."

"Time to go! I'm starving over here!" Chouji grabbed his stomach and yelled. "I'll get us a table, you guys comin'?"

Shikamaru pulled out a cigarette. "In a minute."

"I'll go." Shino began to walk in.

"Come on Dog Boy." Sasuke grabbed Kiba and pulled him along. The four walked through the door. Kiba's yelling broke out before the door could close.

"Bartender! Bring on the booze!"

I shared a sigh with Shikamaru. "So has he been like this all day?" Shikamaru asked.

"The yelling part, yeah."

"Have you talked to Hinata yet?"

I shook my head. "Nope. I'm afraid of going anywhere near that house."

"Afraid? You?" he said sarcastic as always. He took a slow drag from his smoke.

"I wanna help Hinata, I really do. Neji on the other hand…"

He tossed the remains of his smoke on the ground. "Let's go, we'll figure out something later"

I smiled in agreement. Yeah Later! Later won't be that long. How long did they really plan on staying here? Besides, Shikamaru will think of something to fix all this and make it better right? Right? The cold from the liquid snapped me out of my flashback. My pants were now covered in Chouji's beer and this simple act of clumsiness brought me around to realize that in the four hours we were here at the bar, we came up with nothing…and everyone was drunk. I wasn't though and to be honest I wish I was as sloppy as them, but someone had to watch over these animals. Atleast that's what the bartender was yelling as he was throwing us out into the streets. Us? Animals? We weren't THAT bad, besides, what could five drunk guys really do?

"Let's go eat something!" Chouji yelled

"I need more smokes..." Shikamaru sighed.

As for Shino and Sasuke they said nothing. No surprise there...

"Alright, let's get you guys home." I said, exhausted. They groaned in disagreement.

From Chouji to Shika, then Shino to Sasuke, we made our way around Konoha. We tried to keep it civil but we definitely left our mark on the town tonight, or rather yesterday. This was one of only a handful of times I was up drinking past Midnight.

Kiba tugged away on my shirt. "N-Naruuuto, can I…can I stay with you tonight? My mom will murder me" he said in a mumble, slurred voice. At this point I was pretty much carrying him, how could I say no? As luck would have it the instant we step into my apartment, Kiba makes a dash for my bathroom.

"We were walking for the past thirty minutes and you didn't have to puke then?" I wasn't really mad at him. "Kiba you hear me?" His light snores were my response. Grabbing a glass of water and an extra blanket and pillow, I made Kiba a little makeshift bed in my bathroom. This day was insane and I could take no more, slowly I made my way to bed. Tomorrow was going be just as busy as today.
