Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Because... um. Why wouldn't I not own Naruto?

Note: This takes place when they are 17-18. I'm changing the drink age in Konoha though, okay?


When Ino woke up, she was more than pissed. She was furious. She yelled obscenities at me and threw random things at me (which I dodged). Sakura had to knock her out (again) just to end it. Needless to say, I was laughing all the way through Ino's fit of rage. Trust me, if you were there you would have been laughing too. Sometimes Ino just overreacts about the tiniest things, like me knocking her out.

Well, if you consider that tiny... Anyway, after everything was calmed down, we all went out to a bar (even if I don't drink). Sakura and Ino are big drinkers, especially Sakura. I think she's been hanging around Tsunade-sama too much. I am probably the only one who is going to stay sober, other than Neji, Sasuke and Shikamaru. And ugh; Neji, Sasuke and Shikamaru aren't exactly the most sociable people in the world you know.

Right now we are currently in this bar at the end of the village, and Sakura is now ordering her fifth- wait, sixth bottle of sake. Ino is on her fourth, and is pretty drunk. Tenten is on her third (and already wasted). Naruto is tipsy, on his fourth, like Ino. Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru are being... Well, Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru. And I have only had one small cup of sake.

"H-hey... Hinata!" Sakura giggles. "Why do you look so..." She bursts out in laughter. "Blue?" Ino laughs along.

I raise an eyebrow. "Hey! Sakura! Ino!" They grin and nod. "Why do you look so..." I fake a few laughs. "Wasted?"

Oh, yeah, burn biznatches, burn.

Inner! That's. Not. Nice!

Well that little comment you made wasn't nice either.

They deserved it.

Hah. Then why didn't they deserve the comment I didn't say aloud?

Because um...

Yes? I can just see my inner grinning.

The sky is blue. That's why.

That was a lame comeback.

But, it was a pretty impossible one to counter.

Uhuh.

Yeah-uh.

Loser.

Biznatch.

Oh no you didn't!

Oh yes I did!

Bring it on!

Wait.

Yes?

Aren't we fighting ourselves?

Oh yeah. Want to have some more sake?

No.

Too bad, suckah!

My inner takes control of my left hand and reaches for a bottle of sake while I fight it. "Get out of my mind!" I scream.

Ino and Sakura grin at me (CREEPY BIZNATCHES!). "So Hina-channnnnnnnn..." They slur in unison. "You o'allll pe'ple have an innerrr?"

"Wha? NO!" I scream as my inner finally grabs the bottle of sake and tries to force it down my throat. I slam the bottle of sake down on the table so hard it breaks.

Tenten giggles and shakes her head."What a waste of sake, Hina-chan!"

"INSANE!" I screech. "YOU ARE ALL INSANE!"

"And troublesome." Shikamaru adds.

"And annoying." Sasuke says, crinkling his nose in distaste.

"And VICTIMS OF FATE!"

I raise an eyebrow. "Neji... Are you... Feeling very well?" I ask.

He smiles (omigosh, should we take him to a doctor?). "Of course!" He chirps, gesturing to the completely empty bottles of sake in his two hands.

Take the sake... My inner chants.

"GET OUT OF MY MIND!" I scream once again.

"Sasuke-kunnnnnn..." Ino groans, cuddling up to Sasuke. He pushes her away while Sakura laughs insanely. "Whyyyyyyy?" She cries. "Whyyyy don't you LOVEEEEE me?"

"You. Are. Annoying." Sasuke grunts.

The blonde shakes her head in dismay. "But you call Sakuraaa-channn annoying, but you LOVEEEE her!"

I laugh. "Yeah, that is true." I agree. "I mean, it is obvious you like her, I mean, whenever a guy tries to flirt with her you give them the Uchiha death glare, so I don't know what you mean by annoying but I guess it's like an affectionate term you use. Though I honestly have no idea why you called Ino annoying, because you obviously know she's Shikamaru's." I say thoughtfully.

Sasuke and Shikamaru growl at me in unison. "What? Don't look at me like that. You know it's true." They stop growling, but continue to growl at me. "Ahh, this is pathetic," I smile, "Two men in denial, refusing to admit their freaking obvious feelings." I look at Sasuke. "Well, maybe I can't say anything about you. I know that if you're not straight, you are either homosexual, bisexual or asexual."

Naruto laughs. "I'm going with homosexual. Why else would he have run off with Orochimaru and left Sakura-chan on a bench?" I grin. "I mean, what guy does that, leave his relatively hot friend on a bench?"

Ino shoves Naruto playfully. "No, I think he's bisexual, I bet he was checking you out during your training and he probably did something to the Forehead when she was out cold."

Sakura grins. "Sasuke! You violated me?" She gasps. "Well, I for one think he's asexual, after all, he has tons of girls and utterly delicious guys hitting on him each day but he never does anything about it, he just blows them off. I think he wants to die a virgin."

Tenten shakes her head but before she can say anything, Sasuke slams his fist on the table, making it snap in half. Sakura's eyes get big. "Wow, Sasuke, you're the best!" She squeals. Then she smirks. "But I could have broken it with my little finger."

"Who is going to pay for the table?" I ask curiously.

"Oh..." Sakura giggles. "Let's go." She fishes for her wallet, threw a wad of cash on the table and we all hurried out of there to me and Sakura's place.

"So," I say, twiddling my fingers, "What do you want to do?"

"Let's play Spin the Bottle!" Tenten suggests.

I shake my head. "No, I mean... You guys are partially if not fully, drunk. It would be... Unjust if we did it right now. Why don't we do something else?"

"Like what?" Naruto asks.

"Like... Play the Shut Up Game!"

"Okay!" Naruto says, and we all glare at him, taking out our weapons. We throw them at him. "What the----?" He says as he dodges them.

"You lost!" I cry, laughing. "New game! Let's call it Questions Only!" I smile.

"What's that?" Ino asks.

"Isn't it a game where you talk only in questions?" I retort.

"How do you know this?" Asks Sakura.

"How do you know I know this?" I grin.

"Do you know how she knows you know this?" Naruto asks.

"How would I know that she knows I know that?"

"Why are you guys asking so many questions?" Ino says, twirling a lock of her hair around her finger.

"Aren't we playing a game called Questions Only?" I reply.

"When did we start playing?"

"Weren't you there when we started?"

"Do you know?"

"How would I know?"

"Why wouldn't you know?"

"Why do you think I know?"

"Why would I think you know?"

"How should I know what you think?"

"Why would I know what I think?"

"Aren't you you?"

"Why would I be me?"

"Aren't me and I basically the same thing?"

"How would I know?"

"Are you stupid or something?" I ask with much exasperation.

"Are you insulting me?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Why would it be obvious?"

"Why are you so ugly?" Naruto asks me.

"Why are you so conceited?" I snap back.

"Aren't they the perfect couple?" Tenten sighs, tilting her head back.

"What?!" Naruto and I shout in unison.

"Are you guys deaf or something?" Sakura asks in an annoyed voice.

I turn my gaze to Neji, Sasuke and Shikamaru. "Why aren't you guys playing? Are you afraid you're going to lose?"

"No." They reply simultaneously. We all take out our weapons and throw them at the three geniuses.

"Hah! You just lost!" Sakura laughs.

I yawn and smile while closing my eyes. "What a day..." They all shake their heads in understanding and make a move to leave. They can barely walk (it was a miracle for some of them to make it back home) so Sakura offers for them to stay.

"Guys in the living room, girls in the bedroom." I say after she makes her offer and they accept. I sigh again. Tonight was going to be a long one. And I hate long nights, more than I hate long days. I quite despise long days, you know.

The point is, tonight was going to be a living hell.
