A/N: Well, I got some reviews. You guys seemed to like it. I know more than a hundred people read Chapter 1, but only 2 people reviewed. Oh well, I love you guys enough to write a new chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, I'd want to draw faster so adoring fans can read more.

Keep a Secret…At Least For Now
~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Later that day, Tenten gathered her weapons and returned home to pack for tonight's sleepover at Hinata's. She was bit dazed due to Neji's kiss, but, she thought, Neji didn't give me anything…except kiss me. I think the girls won't mind if I spill.
Tenten inwardly grinned as she unlocked her front door and stepped in. She dropped her bag of weapons and training equipment in a corner of her mint-green-colored room. Tenten then grabbed a pink duffel and started packing for her week-long sleepover during her break. Tenten packed her toothbrush, toothpaste, several changes of clothing and her favorite sleepwear. And of course, being Konoha's weapon mistress, Tenten slipped a couple of her shuriken and kunai into the outer pockets of her pink duffel.
Tenten bustled around, trying to remember what else she needed to pack. Remembering her hair ties and hair ribbons, Tenten picked them up from her bathroom along with her hairbrush and comb.
I'll bet Ino and Sakura will bring any other hair stuff and make-up they'll be forcing onto me. Thought Tenten and she zipped up her packed duffel. She glanced at her clock. 6:50 P.M.
Tenten swore under her breath and rushed out of her house. She locked her door and cast a special genjutsu to keep burglars away. Then Tenten pelted off towards the Hyuuga compound, halfway across Konoha.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~
At 6:05, Tenten made it to the front of Hinata's home. She rang the doorbell, and unluckily for her, Tenten momentarily forgot Neji lived there too.
And of course, like many clichéd stories, Neji opened the front door. Tenten found herself staring at his pale lavender eyes.
Neji smirked slightly and leaned forward to kiss her. Tenten paled slightly but didn't kiss him back like she did during training.
When Neji pulled away (5 seconds later), he said, "Did I forget to mention that I invited some of the guys to stay over this week as well?"
Tenten frowned. "I suppose that is why I can hear the girls screaming up there about 'Why the hell are they here?!'" she mumbled, glancing at the second-story window where Hinata's room was located. "Jeez," Tenten added, "I can see Ino jumping around…"
Neji nodded, "Yeah, I heard Hinata scream at Hiashi-sama for the first time. Something along the lines of 'You knew?!'"
The sound of footsteps bounding down the stairs made Neji pull Tenten inside and close the door. He gave her a brief kiss on the cheek before turning and disappearing up the stairs.
Ino's blond head popped up. "What was that about?" she asked devilishly. "Hey Sakura! Hina-chan! Temari! Tenten has something important to tell you!"
"Shut up Ino!" hissed Tenten. An unnoticeable blush crept onto her face.
Ino rolled her eyes and simply grabbed Tenten's hand and dragged her upstairs to Hinata's pale blue room where the other girls had their sleeping bags rolled out.
"Tennie-chan is finally here!" sang Ino.
"Finally…" Sakura muttered. "Anyway, what was it you needed to tell us?"
Tenten flushed and quickly said, "It's nothing. Ino was being a loudmouth again."
Ino shook her head excitedly. "No, I just saw Neji kiss Tenten here on the cheek!"
"WHAT?!" shrieked Sakura and Temari. Hinata looked a bit shocked.
"Neji-niisan can show feeling for someone?"
Ino giggled, "Yeah, let's change first, and then we can continue with our interrogation. Tenten, you are SO not off the hook."
Tenten just blanched. "Meep."
~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Tenten snatched her sleepwear from her duffel and disappeared into Hinata's bathroom. Ino and Sakura changed in Hinata's walk in closet while Temari went to the hall bathroom. Hinata stayed in her room to change.
Tenten slipped on her light cream-colored spaghetti-strap camisole that was trimmed with lace on the top and bottom hems and the straps. Near the lace, there were neat rows of gold rhinestones. This was probably one of the few things Tenten owned that was on the girlier side. The cami was form fitting, but thankfully not see-through. She stuck her legs into her spring green silk pajama pants that had gold dragons embroidered along the hem. Tenten pulled her hair from its usual buns and tied it into a single twist.
When Tenten left the bathroom, Hinata had changed into a long-sleeved sky-blue satin nightgown and Temari was wearing a extra-large black baggy tee with maroon leggings.
Ino and Sakura appeared a few minutes later. Sakura was wearing a pastel pink tank top with white blossom and loose white basketball shorts. Ino had on a tight attire of purple spaghetti-strap top and a pale indigo skort.
"Dude, we're not going to a party Ino." Snapped Sakura.
"Shut it Forehead. I actually sleep in this." Ino retorted. "Hey Tennie-chan is wearing something other than her loose Chinese tops. I didn't know you had a sense of fashion!"
Tenten glared. "I wear this because no one sees me. It's quite comfortable."
Hinata smiled. "You l-look great, Tenten."
Tenten flashed a look of gratitude. "Should we get dinner?"
Ino shook her head vigorously. "We need you to give us the full story. Its tell us here, or tell us in front of the guys too." Ino smirked at Tenten's reaction.
Tenten swore under her breath. "Fine. This is what happened…Thank god Neji didn't make me promise anything…but one thing: you are not to mention what I say here. At least, not until Truth or Dare comes up—with the boys."
"Deal." The girls chorused.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~
By the time Tenten relayed the whole story, Sakura was fuming, Ino was pissed, Hinata looked terrified and Temari was frowning.
"Remember, until Truth of Dare." Tenten reminded them.
The girls walked downstairs to get pizza. Thank god all the girls are first-class actors.
The girls had smiles on and nothing looked out of place.
Moments later, the guys appeared. Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru and Kiba were all wearing some t-shirt and loose shorts. Naruto had on an orange t-shirt with a bowl of ramen on it and orange sweats. Gaara wore what he wore everyday and Kankuro sported a long-sleeve shirt with sweats. Lee somehow managed to fit into a green spandex-suit jammies with feet.
Neji stared at Tenten's attire, but then shook his head as if to clear out inappropriate thought. Tenten thought she saw a trace of drool on Kiba's mouth who was gawking at Ino.
"Yo." Kiba greeted them. "Are you over your freak-out yet?"
Temari rolled her eyes. "No shit, Sherlock. Except I was not the one freaking-out."
Hinata opened a pizza box, freshly delivered. "Cheese pizza?"
Sakura said, "Me." Neji and Sasuke 'hned'.
Hinata handed out cheese pizza while Temari opened another box. "Vegetarain anyone?"
Ino raised her hand. So did Shikamaru. Temari handed out vegetarian and took a slice for herself.
Tenten grabbed the last pizza box. "Pepperoni. Get your own slice people. I'm not a maid."
Kiba reached for a piece, but before he reached it, Tenten swiped it from him. "Ladies first." Tenten purred.
Kiba just stared while Ino was about to say something, but decided against it.
Naruto cheerfully opened a pack of instant ramen he had brought with him. Gaara stated, "I do not eat."
Once the ninja finished eating, Ino shouted, "Truth or Dare time!"
Ino clearly can't wait to confront Neji and Lee about earlier today. Thought Tenten as the guys and girls trooped off to the living room and sat down in a lopsided circle.
Ino magically produced a bottle from nowhere and spun it. "Whoever this lands on goes first." She said brightly.
The bottle spun. And spun. And spun.
"HURRY UP ALREADY!!" yelled Naruto, who happened to be high on ramen.
Well, the bottle eventually stopped. And it landed on Kankuro.
"Okay. Um…Temari, truth or dare?" Kankuro asked.

Hoped you liked it. I decided to make it a longer story. If you've got any ideas for truths and dares, please tell me. Review and tell me how the second chappie was! This will be a multi-chapter story.
