It had been a week since Tobi got out of the hospital. He was a whole lot better, and he soaked up all of what Incora and Neji had fed him like a sponge. To tell the truth, Incora was scared to death about Tobi coming back to school. If Sasuke got a hold of him at any time...it would not be pretty. But still, Incora felt horrible about lying to Tobi. She knew it was for his own protection, and that made her feel better about it.
Incora helped Tobi through the compound, to where they lived. Neji was nowhere to be seen. His new hobby seemed to be disappearing right after school, even though Incora already knew he was only at Ten-Ten's.
"Incora-nee! Tobi lives in such a nice house!" he exclaimed. He raced up to the door and tried to open it.
"Tobi... the door's locked silly. No one's home!" said Incora.
"Well then hurry Incora-nee! Tobi wants to see the inside!" exclaimed Tobi.
Incora rushed to the door and unlocked it. Tobi ran inside. Tobi scanned the entire house in five seconds before he tripped and flopped onto the couch. He laughed at his sudden clumsiness. Incora began to laugh along with him. She started preparing for Kiba to come over for their usual studying session. Tobi got himself settled in to the Hyuga home which he now called his home. Unaware of his past living conditions.
The next day in English, Incora saw something that would have shocked the devil himself. Yume Nara, smiling on a Friday morning, at other people while handing them envelopes. She turned to spot Incora, and handed her one as well. Smiling, she went back into the hall to give more people some before class started.
Incora, confused opened the envelope and read the card within.
Consider yourself invited!
To what you ask?
My party this Saturday at 7:30pm.
Be sure to wear something cute or sexy as there will be music, dancing, snacks, games and ME of course ! Don't forget your toothbrush! It's a boy/girl sleepover!
So be there or be square!
Or in my terms come to my party or be a loser forever...
Incora was so excited! She had never in her life been invited to a party of any kind, especially sleepovers. She entered first hour to see that even her brother had been invited. She sat in between Yume and Neji, as always.
"So Incora, do you think Hinata would come if I invited her? I mean, she's your cousin, and I want a lot of people to be there so..." asked Yume.
"Oh...I don't think so Yume. My uncle is very particular on who 'us Hyugas' hang out with. That's why I'm glad to come from the side branch. No rules, they don't care as long as we don't die before they can bark at us some more." said Incora.
Neji nodded in agreement. Yume rolled her eyes.
"Man you Hyugas are stuck-up. I couldn't STAND being part of that family. No offense." said Yume.
"None taken, as long as you factor in the difference between us and our cousins." said Incora.
"Okay, but I'll see you guys there right?"
"Of course! Right Neji?"
"Hn." said Neji in agreement.
Yume rolled her eyes and smiled at the twins. She quickly fell asleep as class started. First hour ended, and the first thing Incora thought about was Tobi. She poked Yume awake, and dashed out of the classroom, not even waiting for her brother. Incora dashed through the hallways, and saw a sight that stopped her dead in her tracks. Her 'little brother' standing with Sasuke of ALL people. Her fears were being realized.
"Hey stupid. You're looking...better." said Sasuke.
"Tobi is confused. Is the strange person talking to Tobi? The strange person should know that Tobi's name is Tobi, not stupid." said Tobi.
Incora had heard enough. She zoomed in on the two.
"Oh, hey doll-face. My uncle told me to thank you for getting rid of our burden." smirked Sasuke.
"Shut-up Sasuke. I'm warning you." stated Incora coldly.
"Incora-nee? What is the strange person talking about? Burden?" asked Tobi.
"Nothing Tobi. Come on, we have class." said Incora, still glaring at the smirking Sasuke.
"Okay Incora-nee, whatever you say!" said Tobi cheerily.
Incora grabbed Tobi's hand and began walking him to class.
"He's going to find out about us sooner or later doll-face. You can't hide him from us." Sasuke said to her.
Incora rolled her eyes at the glaring Uchiha. She would have to take Tobi's schedule into her own hands if she wanted to keep Tobi away from that damned Sasuke. Incora made into second hour, and sat in between her two brothers. Mr. Uchiha smiled at the twins and laid his hand on top of Tobi's head.
"It's great to see you back in my class Tobi." said Mr. Uchiha.
"Tobi is happy to be back in your class Mr. Uchiha. Incora-nee and Neji-nii told me all about this class!" Tobi said cheerily.
Obito looked at his little brother sadly, but he didn't dare mention that to him. He wanted to protect him. At all costs. Second hour started, and immediately after, Sakura and Ino flooded Tobi with questions.
"Awww Tobi...are you okay?" asked Sakura.
"Tobi is fine...Tobi would like to know who you two are!" Tobi exclaimed, walking with Sakura and Ino to Incora's horror.
Ten-Ten saw what Incora was seeing and quickly snatched Tobi away from the two.
"Ten-Ten! Like soooo rude!" said Sakura, angered.
"Yeah, like really!" said Ino.
"Shut-up you diseased animals." stated Ten-Ten to their surprise.
"Friend Ten-Ten? Why did friend Ten-Ten take Tobi away from Tobi's potential friends?" asked Tobi.
"Tobi, trust your friend Ten-Ten. You don't want to be friends with those guys." said Ten-Ten.
"O-okay friend Ten-Ten. Whatever you say!" said Tobi cheerily.
Ten-Ten handed Tobi over to Yume, who had 3rd hour with him, and Ten-Ten went to catch up to the waiting Incora.
"What's up Ten-Ten?" asked Incora.
"Oh, nothing Incora. Just had to keep Tobi away from those nasty skanks."
Incora laughed at the joke.
"Well, I'm glad you did, I wouldn't want my poor brother catching anything." said Incora with a laugh.
Ten-Ten and Incora laughed at the two, while they stormed away. Ino walked Sakura to her class, like always, except this day was different. Sasuke caught Ino after she separated from Sakura.
"Hey." stated Sasuke cooly.
"What do you want Sasuke? I have class and stuff so..." Ino started. Sasuke pinned her against the wall.
"I was thinking...maybe after school...you'd come over to my place. You're kinda cool, and I'm...behind in class. Maybe you could...tutor me?" said Sasuke.
"S-Sure Sasuke...whatever you say." said Ino with a blush.
Meanwhile, Incora was just going into 3rd hour. Today she sat in between Ten-Ten and Gaara, with Neji sitting on the other side of Ten-Ten, holding her hand. Incora passed one of Yume's envelopes to Gaara, seeing as Yume wanted her to invite him. Gaara took it, confused.
"Is Naruto invited?" asked Gaara.
"I think so." said Incora.
"...I'll be there."
Gaara said nothing else as he started paying attention. All of sudden, Ten-Ten started passing Incora a note.
T: I'm SO glad that everyone's happy now! By the way, Who do think Yume likes?
Incora looked at the note, puzzled. The last time Incora went down this road, she almost got her head chewed off.
I: I don't know...she almost killed me the last time I asked. Anyway, I don't really think she likes anyone. Maybe we should ask her at the sleepover tomorrow.
Ten-Ten just threw away the note, satisfied. Third hour ended, and Ten-Ten, Neji, Incora, and the newly acquired Yume all went to gym. Kiba joined them, kissing Incora on the nose. Incora blushed and the couples branched out of the group, leaving Yume to her corner, where she instantly fell asleep. Kiba kissed Incora on the cheek and headed to the weight room with Neji and Ten-Ten. Incora decided to join Lee in his laps around the gym.
"Hello Incora! Nice day is it not?" asked Lee.
"Oh hey Lee! Yes it is! A nice day indeed!" said Incora cheerily.
Lee sped by her at least 5 or 6 times before he stopped again.
"I see you with Kiba often nowadays. Is he your..." he started.
"Yeah, he's my boyfriend."
"Oh...I see." said Lee sadly.
He looked down, obviously saddened by something.
"Lee? Is something wrong?" asked a worried Incora.
"No...no it is nothing." said Lee.
Lee trudged away. Lee's mind was in a whirl. Incora was his only friend ever. He would be lying if he said he didn't have feelings for the Hyuga girl. But now she was with Kiba. He shook it off, promising himself he wouldn't let this distract him from his workout, for if it did, he would get it from his father later.
Incora jogged away, looking confused as ever that Lee just up and left her like that. Lee still fresh in her mind, she went into the weight room to find Kiba. Kiba was running on the treadmill shirtless, as usual.
"Hey babe, what's up?" he said slowing the treadmill.
"Nothing..."
"What's wrong? You seem...worried." asked Kiba.
"It's Lee...I think I'm his only friend. And...I don't know...he seemed sad...when I told him we were dating." said Incora.
"Hmmm...maybe he likes you?"
"You think so?" asked Incora.
"Well whatever it was, he can't have you. You're mine." he cooed.
He got off the treadmill and walked over to her. He licked her cheek jokingly, making her giggle before he kissed her tenderly on the lips. Lee saw the whole thing, and sighed deeply before walked back into the gym. Incora and Kiba went over to where Neji and Ten-Ten took turns pumping iron. As of now, Neji was taking his turn.
"Hey Incora! What's new?" asked Ten-Ten.
"Incora just found out Lee likes her." said Kiba.
"Hush Kiba! That's just what you think!" said Incora.
"Lee likes you?!" asked Neji, halting the press.
"I don't know...you know Lee right?" asked Incora.
"Yeah. I know him. And I'm not doing it." stated Neji.
"Aww Nejiiii!"whined Incora.
"I'm not asking." said Neji.
"C'mon Neji...don't be such a square." said Kiba.
"Pleeeaaaasssseeee Neji?" asked Ten-Ten. She placed a hand on his chest and did the best puppy dog face she could.
"...Fine." said Neji as he stood up.
He wiped the sweat from his body and put on his white tank top. He walked into the gym, seeing Lee walking painfully slow around the gym. He joined Lee in his slow walk.
"You seem depressed. You haven't challenged me once today." said Neji.
"Why should you care? You do not seem fazed any other time I challenge you." spat Lee.
"Honestly, I do. It's almost...fun when you challenge me." said Neji.
"Really? I never thought you thought I was...fun." said Lee.
"It is fun. I like having you as a rival." confessed Neji.
"Do not get any ideas about me. I will prove to you that I'm not a loser." said Lee with confidence.
"Glad to hear it. Loser." said Neji jokingly.
Lee smiled at Neji, happy that he had seemed to have found a friend in Neji. Neji smirked back, for in the beginning, Neji thought Lee was a big time loser. But now, he seemed have found a rival/friend relationship.
"So, really. What's wrong?" asked Neji again.
"You will not tell anyone?"
"I won't tell anyone." Neji lied. He was after all, doing this for his sister.
"It is...Incora. I think...I think I like her... but now she is dating Kiba. I think I will be alright, but for now...I guess I am sad I missed my chance." said Lee sadly.
"You...like my sister?"
"Well...yeah. Incora was the first girl that was ever nice to me."
"And that's why you like her?"
"...Yeah. Plus the fact that she is so beautiful."
"...I don't really like to think of my sister in that light. I always thought she looked just like me, and that's as far as I go with it."
"I-I guess I will just have to settle for her friendship huh?" asked Lee.
"I would."
"I guess I will then. Thanks for setting me straight Neji. I owe you one."
"Damn right you do." Neji smirked.
The bell rang, and Neji went to find his sister and the others. He sat at the lunch table, where Yume, Incora, Neji, Ten-Ten, Naruto, Gaara, Deidara, Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Chouji where all crowded into, like always.
"So, what did you find out?" asked Ten-Ten.
"...He's got it. Bad. I told him to settle on her friendship." said Neji.
"Who's got what now?" asked Yume.
"Say what now Neji yeah? What are you hiding hmm? Sounds delicious un!" said Deidara.
"Lee's sad that I got to Incora first, and now he has to settle for friendship." said Kiba cockily.
"Kiba! Don't be so cruel! He is still my friend!" Incora scolded.
"Yeah Yeah...I'm sorry babe." said Kiba.
"Ooh hmm! A secret crush un! How dangerous yeah?!" said Deidara.
"Aww...caterpillar brows has a thing for you!" said Yume.
"Shut-up Yume!" exclaimed Incora, clearly embarrassed.
"Aww Yume, I think you embarrassed her!" said Shikamaru.
"Lee? Who would've guessed?!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Okay guys, It's done! Can we please stop talking about him?" pleaded Incora with a blush.
The bell rings again, lunch ending. Deidara hiked Yume up on his back, dashing down the halls of the school. Kiba and Incora just shook their heads.
"They're sooooo flirty." said Incora.
"Aww they're not that bad! Are you jealous that you cant do it?" said Kiba.
"Nooo..." said Incora.
"I bet you are! Here, let me grant your wish!" said Kiba.
He hiked the flailing Incora onto his back. He took off down the halls, Incora grasping for dear life onto Kiba's chest.
"Kibaaaaaaa!" screamed Incora.
Kiba stopped in front of class. She shoved off of him, and ran into class, leaving Kiba confused.
"Incora...what's wrong?" asked Kiba.
Incora dizzily sat down next to Yume, laying her head down on her desk.
"Whats up with you girl?" asked Yume.
Incora looked at Kiba as he sat down on the other side of her, rubbing her back worriedly.
"I never told you, but I have a...thing with being lifted off my feet. It makes me really dizzy. I'm not...mad at you...I just feel...nauseated." said Incora.
"Oh...I'm sorry Incora. I didn't know..." apologized Kiba.
"I know you didn't. That's why I'm not mad at you." said Incora with a smile.
Kiba smirked back and left for his 6th hour. Yume just shrugged as class started.
"Okay children! I have here in my hand, the list. For the next week, starting today, you will be paired up, and you will be given a health baby!" said Yamato.
The class groaned as they looked at the list. Incora was happy with her choice: Chouji. She didn't really know Chouji all too well, and so it was a nice pairing for her. Yume picked up her desk and almost threw it at the teacher when she saw who she was paired with.
"WHAT THE HELL?! WHY AM I PAIRED WITH SASUKE!?" yelled Yume.
"I don't see the problem." said Sasuke.
Yume spun around, glaring at Sasuke. Sasuke winked back at her, smiling. Incora looked at him with disgust as he went up to get the health baby and went up to Yume.
"Now, we don't have to married...unless you want to." said Sasuke cockily.
"I'd kill myself first. Anyway, you take the stupid baby this weekend. I have shit to do. I'll come for it on Sunday." stated Yume.
"And what if I have shit to do hmm? What if I need you to take it?" challenged Sasuke.
"Don't test me Uchiha." said Yume.
"Lucky for you, I don't have anything to do this weekend. But...what are you gonna do for me if I take it?" said Sasuke, moving uncomfortably close to Yume.
Yume rolled her eyes, and grabbed the Uchiha by the throat, lifting him in the air. Sasuke struggled against her grasp, but to no avail. Incora smirked at her friend's strength.
"When I kill you for ever getting this close to me again, I'll make sure to make it quick and painless." stated Yume.
"Fair...enough." choked Sasuke.
She dropped Sasuke on the floor, him coughing and sucking in air. Incora met up with Chouji and their health baby.
"Um...I'll take the baby for this weekend...I got invited to Yume's party, but I'm not going. My parent's don't allow me to go to slumber parties with girls." said Chouji.
"Oh, ok...I don't want to be a burden..." said Incora.
"Aw, It's no problem!" said Chouji, smiling sweetly at Incora.
"Thank you Chouji... You're very sweet." praised Incora, making Chouji blush.
The bell rung, signaling their freedom. Yume slapped Shikamaru awake, grabbed his wrist, and took off, poor Shikamaru dangling for dear life.
Incora shook her head, waved goodbye to Chouji, and walked with her brothers home. For the first time, neither Ten-Ten or Kiba were coming over, just because Incora and Neji would see them tomorrow.
"What do you wanna do tonight?" asked Neji.
"I don't know..."said Incora.
"You act as though we've never been alone together..." said Neji.
"That's because most of the time these days, we aren't."
"That's not fair Incora..."
"How isn't it? Either Ten-Ten or Kiba comes over everyday! I'm not even trying to start a fight."
"Okay okay... I was just trying to ask what you wanted to do."
"Tobi says that Incora-nee and Neji-nii shouldn't fight!" exclaimed Tobi.
"...we could watch movies. Like we used to with Akito." said Incora
"Okay! With Tobi too?" asked Tobi.
"Of course!" exclaimed Incora.
Incora and Neji made it to their house. Incora unlocked the door, and went to her room to throw her backpack onto her bed. She come back out to see her brothers sitting on the couch, Tobi bouncing around cheerily, while Neji sat with his arms crossed, smirking at Tobi. Incora smiled at her brothers, and sat in between them. Incora laid on Neji's lap, while Tobi rested on Incora's butt. Neji rested his head on his hand, leaning against the arm of the couch. Incora turned on a scary movie, making Neji instantly tense up.
"Must we watch this?" whined Neji.
"Yes, we must. It's my favorite one." said Incora.
"Tobi likes whatever Incora-nee likes!" said Tobi
"Trust me Tobi, You wont like this. If he has nightmares Incora, your dealing with him." said Neji.
A half hour into the movie, Neji was clinging to the couch in fear, his hair standing up on the back of his neck, entranced into the TV. Incora sat there laughing at the stupidity of the people being killed, and Tobi laughed along, even though on the inside, he was absolutely terrified. Akito came home, and upon hearing the scary movie going on, decided to bust open the door just as the killer struck, scaring Neji, Tobi, and Incora off the couch.
Akito laughed hysterically as Neji glared at him, and then at Incora. He stomped into his room and slammed his door, indicating he probably wasn't coming out for the rest of the night. Tobi turned to Akito.
"It wasn't nice of cousin Akito to scare Tobi, Incora-nee, and Neji-nii like that. Now cousin Akito made Neji-nii upset!" Tobi exclaimed, running into his room.
Incora just sighed as she collected herself from the floor.
"Good one Akito. You scared the crap out of us, obviously." Incora praised.
"I'm glad somebody knew I was just kidding." said Akito.
True to the suspicions, Neji stayed in his room for the rest of the evening, not even coming out for dinner. It was when Neji skipped dinner that Incora went to see what was up. Something else was bothering Neji other than Akito being Akito.
Incora knocked in their special knock, and Neji opened up the door for her.
"You missed dinner." said Incora.
"I wasn't that hungry." said Neji . He calmly went back to his bed and laid down, covers over his head.
"What's wrong Neji? Something else is bothering you other than Akito today. I can tell, seeing as you have been picking fights with me all day today." said Incora.
Neji came out of his cocoon, sitting up to face his sister.
"I'm just...everything is moving so fast. I remember when we were outcasts...freaks...when all we had was each other... and now we both have people we care about, we trust...friends... it's...been a lot to handle." said Neji.
"I know it has, but it'll only get better from here, I promise. Having friends can only only make us into better people."
"I know but... I just... I don't want a repeat of our last school and our so called friends." said Neji.
Incora shuddered at the thought. In all honesty, she had been trying to forget their other so called friends. She had almost forgot about Kidomaru, Jirobo, Tayuya, Sakon, and Ukon.
"I...highly doubt that our new friends are anything like them. But then again, this is why we have each other, right?"
"Right."
"Now get out here and get the leftovers. Tobi keeps going back for more, so you better get while the getting is good." said Incora with a smile.
Neji smiled and darted for the kitchen. He got the last of dinner, saddening Tobi. Tobi cheerfully sat down and watched TV with Akito and Incora. Laughing at the way Akito criticized different shows. Neji's curiosity peaked, and soon, he was out there laughing with everyone, silently having forgiven Akito. It was family togetherness like this that Neji secretly loved anyway. Even with Tobi here, it all seemed...right. Within an hour, Neji was asleep on the floor, Tobi was snuggled on Incora who was leaning on Akito on the couch. They all fell asleep in this position.
Neji woke up first, almost remorseful that he was the one to sleep on the floor. Tobi and Incora were still asleep on the couch. Akito was missing, which was normal. He was at work during the weekend. Suddenly it dawned on Neji. Tobi wasn't invited to Yume's party! He woke Incora up and pulled her off the couch, leaving Tobi by his self. Luckily for the twins, Tobi was a really hard sleeper.
"Mmmmm...Neji? What? It's still early..." said Incora groggily.
"I know, but I just realized something."
"At...8 in the morning?"
"Yeah, Tobi's not going to Yume's party." said Neji.
Incora woke up then, completely forgetting that Tobi wasn't invited as well as Neji.
"Oh crap Neji...what are we gonna do? It's rude to invite someone to someone else's party! You think he'll be okay with Akito by himself? I'm not even sure how he feels about Akito yet..." said Incora.
"Well...maybe this is Tobi needs. We both already know how he feels about us...maybe he needs this time to develop a relationship with Akito." said Neji.
"I don't know Neji...what if something goes wrong? What if Akito says something bad?"
"If we wait up for Akito when he gets home from work before we go to the party and talk to him about Tobi, I think we'll be fine. We'll only be gone a day...plus the party doesn't even start until 7:30 anyway. He'll be home way before then."
"Okay. I guess that works. Now, I'm going back to bed. Unless you need something else at 8 in the morning."
Incora curled back up on the couch with Tobi, and Neji made Incora scoot over, and all three teens slept on the couch. It was about 10 o clock when Tobi woke the twins back up.
"Incora-nee? Neji-nii? Tobi is hungry. It's morning now!" Tobi said cheerfully.
Neji stirred, and Incora got up off the couch. She pointed Tobi the various cereals in the kitchen and then yanked her brother off the couch. She wrapped his arm around her neck and walked him sleepily to his room and sat him on his bed. She trudged into her room, and gathered her clothes for today.
She lazily headed to the bathroom, when she realized Neji was doing the same thing. They locked eyes, and Incora was the first one to bolt down the hallway. Neji bolted up the hallway, and they matched. Neji, despite being a boy, barely overpowered her and locked himself in the bathroom. Incora bashed on the door, but stopped when she realized Akito would kill her. She let her brother have this victory.
When Neji came out triumphant, Incora threw a bucket of cold water at her younger brother before she sped past him and locked herself in the bathroom. She wasn't gonna let her brother off that easily.
"Dammit Incora! Now I have to change again!" he yelled.
"I know Neji! That's why its so funny! And I've got the bucket! You can't get me back!" she yelled back.
Neji was pissed. But instead of creating a prank war, he simply went to his room and slammed and locked the door, making Tobi jump.
"Neji-nii! Tobi wants to know why Neji-nii is slamming Neji-nii's door!" said Tobi with a mouthful of cereal.
"Nothing Tobi. Incora just likes to have too much fun is all." stated Neji coldly.
Neji stayed silent for the rest of the day, ignoring Incora completely. When it was time to go to Yume's party, Akito was finally home.
"What do you mean Tobi has to stay home by Tobi's self with Cousin Akito?" asked a frantic Tobi.
"It'll be okay Tobi! Akito is nice too!" said Incora.
"Yeah. And we'll only be gone a day. I'm sure you'll be fine with Akito until then." said Neji.
"O-Okay Incora-nee, Neji-nii...Tobi will be...okay." said Tobi.
"Awww we'll be fine Incora. Tobi is always a good boy." said Akito.
"Tobi...is a good boy!" said Tobi cheerily.
Satisfied, the twins grabbed their bags and started for Kiba's. Neither Incora nor Neji actually knew where Yume lived, but Kiba had been over there once or twice for Shikamaru, so they figured they would just follow Kiba and Subaki, who were also invited.
Incora knocked on Kiba's door. Kiba answered it, with a smile on his face.
"Hey babe, Hey Neji. We just have to wait for Subaki, and we'll be ready to go." said Kiba.
Kiba banged on Subaki's door.
"Come on Subaki! The twins are here now! We're only going for a night!" yelled Kiba.
"Kiba! Stop all that goddamn yelling! Subaki! Get your ass out here now!" yelled an unfamiliar almost scary voice.
A woman came to the door. Kiba looked exactly like her. She had fang markings on her face, and her wild hair was just as spiky as Kiba's.
"Oh, hello. You must be Kiba's new mate and her twin brother. I'm Tsume, Kiba's mother." said Tsume.
Incora blushed at Tsume's mention of the word 'mate'.
"Geez Ma, embarrass me why don't cha?" said Kiba.
"Glad to do it boy." said Tsume.
Tsume bashed on Subaki's door.
"Subaki! Get your ass out here now!" Tsume yelled.
"Alright! Alright! I'm coming geez! Beauty takes TIME. It doesn't just happen!" said Subaki.
She finally came out of her room, her bag in tow, ready to go.
"She finally shows herself." said Kiba.
"Shut-up Kiba." said Subaki.
The twins, Kiba and Subaki left the Inuzuka house, heading to the Nara's. Incora knocked on the door, and a woman, presumed to be Yume and Shikamaru's mother, came to open it.
"You must be some more of Yume's friends! I'm Yoshino Nara. Me and my husband Shikaku are glad to have you in our home!" said Yoshino.
"Yes...I'm...Incora Hyuga and this is my twin brother Neji." Incora introduced herself.
"Oh, your twins! How cute! I've never seen another pair of twins! Kiba, and Subaki too! Lovely to see you again!" said Yoshino.
She guided the crowd into Yume's room and opened the door, startling Yume, Kankuro, Ten-Ten, another girl with four blond ponytails in her hair, Gaara, and Naruto.
"Dammit mom! Don't scare us like that! Learn to fucking knock!" yelled Yume.
"Don't you dare fucking curse at me young lady! I told you that shit is unbecoming of a lady!" said Yoshino.
"Yeah...I love you too mom." said Yume.
"I'll tell you when your other guests arrive!" said Yoshino cheerily once again.
She left the teens alone, Kiba went to sit on the floor, Incora sitting next to him, while Neji went and sat with Ten-Ten.
"So...does anyone here not have a psycho mom?" asked Yume.
"We don't have a mother or father anymore." said Incora.
"Me neither." said Naruto.
"Our mom died giving birth to me..." said Gaara.
"And our father just died recently." said Kankuro.
"Okay Okay geez! You guys are all so depressing!" said Yume.
"You asked." said Gaara.
The other guests came after a matter of time. Deidara being the last one to come. When it came to put on pajamas, Yume noticed that Deidara was wearing something unusual from his regular pajamas. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt. Now, every boy there was shirt-less, even Neji. And Yume had invited Deidara over lots of times before. Everybody and their mother knew that Deidara was outwardly gay, and loved to show off his body.
The party was watching a funny movie in Yume's room. Yume pulled her best friend close to her.
"Is there a reason you suddenly wear shirts?" whispered Yume.
"No reason...I just...uh...I like shirts..." lied Deidara.
Yume, having heard enough of Deidara's cover up for Sasori, pulled Deidara into her bathroom, and crossed her arms.
"Take off your shirt." said Yume.
"Uh...You know better than I that I'm into dudes Yume hmm. Though if I was into girls, you'd be the first yeah?" Deidara stalled.
"Off with the shirt. Now Deidara."
Deidara slowly started unbuttoning the shirt. Yume ripped the shirt off of him, revealing his true colors. There were bruises all over his body, including fresh choke marks. Deidara shamefully covered himself up.
"Was it Sasori?" stated Yume.
"Yume, please yeah...?"
"Was...It...Sasori."
"Y-Yes...hmm"
Yume crossed her arms again. Sasori was going down.
"I'm killing him. I don't care, I've sat here and watched for too fucking long. I'm killing him Dei." stated Yume.
"Yume please... don't say anything un. Please..Yume... I love him hmm." said Deidara.
"This isn't fucking love Deidara. Those are choke marks. He's trying to kill you! I can't fucking watch anymore Dei. I love you, and I can't watch this anymore." stated Yume.
Yume walked out of her bathroom, while Deidara sat on the floor, putting his shirt back on. Yume faked her happiness as the blond girl identified as Temari, suggested that they play 'Seven minutes in heaven.' The party got livelier as some of the girls went in uncomfortably to the closet with a guy of Yume's choosing.
Incora and Kiba.
Ten-Ten and Neji.
Shikamaru and Temari.
Subaki and Deidara.
Kankuro and Shino
Incora and Naruto.
Finally, it was Yume's turn to go in with someone, and Temari shoved her little brother Gaara in with her. Yume sat in the dark with Gaara staring at her hard.
"So um...why did you come?" asked Yume.
"I was invited." stated Gaara.
"But you never come to anything I invite you and your siblings to."
"Naruto came too."
"Well...yeah...but..."
"TIMES UP! I HOPE YOUR PUTTING YOUR CLOTHES ON IN THERE!" said Temari.
Yume jumped up as Temari opened the door, happy to be out of that awkward situation.
"Nice talk. OhandbythewayIlikeyou." said Yume hurriedly but loud enough that everybody could hear her.
Gaara said nothing as the party moved on. Yume was the last one to fall asleep, seeing as her body usually didn't let go to sleep until way later. She walked past all the happy sleeping couples, and smirked as she saw Naruto and Deidara snuggled up together. Anybody would look better with Deidara than that bastard Sasori. She climbed out her window to her roof, her favorite place to go think. She was surprised to see Gaara up there.
"What are you doing up here?" asked Yume as she sat down in her spot.
"I don't sleep. Plus, I like the view." stated Gaara.
"Well...this is where I come to think, mostly."said Yume.
Yume sat next to Gaara, looking out into the night sky. She tried to ignore the fact that not only was Deidara in trouble, but she just confessed her feelings to the boy she was sitting next to a couple hours ago. Gaara turned to face her.
"What you said before, about liking me." he started.
"Yeah...I do..."
"Please don't lie to me. I know how popular you are. I'm not into your game." stated Gaara.
"I'm not...that popular. You guys are my only friends. Plus, if I like someone, I like them for who they are, not what they have." said Yume.
"You lie, you're very popular."
"No, I'm not. But I do like you."
"...I think I like you too. What do I do now?" asked Gaara.
" Well, if you want, we could go out?"
"Out like, boyfriend and girlfriend ?"
"Well, yeah..."
Gaara stayed silent. He said nothing as he scooted over to Yume, and sloppily kissed her without warning, silently confirming he wanted her. Yume had never had better slumber party in her life, But in the back of her mind, the one thing she really worried about was Deidara.
