Choji gave a loud sigh.
"You are all so bloody hopeless. If I would have known that all of this would have happened, I'd never told anyone tonight..." Tomo smiled.
"Yes you would." He looked back at her.
"I know. But they are all very troublesome..." He kissed her softly.
"You know, that's my expression." Shikamarus voice startled them all back to consciousness again.
"Shika! You're ruining the mood!" Inos comment made them all giggle. "Hey, where is Naruto?" They stared at her.
"He must have left..." Hinata stated in a dreamy voice. Kiba sighed.
"Would you stop scaring me like that darling." Ino and Shikamaru stared at him. He stared back at them, not getting what was wrong.
"What?!" Ino kept staring.
"Since when do you call Hinata that?!" Shikamarus voice was confused.
"Since we got engaged twenty minutes ago." Kiba responded calmly. "Oh yeah, you weren't here... sorry 'bout that. Well, we're engaged now anyways. How did things go for you guys?" At this question, Ino and Shikamaru turned away from each other in embarrassment, both fiddling with their fingers. Hinata gave out a loud gasp. They stared at her.
"You know Ino, I could tell you something if you want to know, perhaps we should do it in private..." But she went against her own words and walked over and whispered something to Ino, who screamed out in shock.
"Shiiiiikaaaamaaaruuuu!!" Her voice was a mix between disbelief and happiness. He stared at her. She turned to face him.
"The wedding! We have to have it sooner! As soon as possible! Next week! Tomorrow! Very, very, very soon!!" He stared at her.
"Why?! Why is two months not good enough?!" The others stared at them in amazement.
"Because..." Her voice toned down, and she put his hands on her stomach. His eyes went wide, then he pulled her into a warm hug.
"I love you Ino... I wish we were already married... I love you so much..." He released his grip on her and stared down at her belly. "How lucky I am to have the both of you..." Ino started with her happy tears again.
"Shika... I love you..." Then they all heard a high-pitched scream from inside the house. Quickly after it, Tsunade came storming out, blazing red in the face, but she was soon stopped in her steps by a white-haired ero-sennin.
"Does that yes still count?" He asked with a beaming smile on his face. She stared up at him, and then answered in a small voice:
"That's hardly why I screamed... Of course it does... I love you..." She stopped her speech as she realized there were several pairs of eyes staring at her in complete shock. "Jiraiya..." He followed her eyes. Kiba holding Hinata in a warm hug, Shikamaru wiping Inos tears, Sakura still embracing Sasuke, and Tenten shaking her head in disbelief when Neji and Shino started to walk in through the gates towards them. It seemed like her entire life was one long love-story. Kami-sama... Jiraiya smirked. If he'd been a writer, and this had been his story, he'd called himself the romantic idiot of doom. But this was life, so there really wasn't anybody to blame. Then again, maybe there was a god. But that was still a big maybe.
"Then why did you scream, Tsunade-Kawaii?" She kissed him gently, sending shivers down his spine.
"Because Anko and Naruto were acting like horny teenagers, and I'd take any reason to get out of there to be with you instead... You know how I hate parties, don't you?" Jiraiya chuckled. The eyes around them widened, for several different reasons.
"You know, they were just kissing. Really, they must think that you hate them..." She shrugged.
"They don't. They know better. But really, they should get a room. That was not just kissing. "
"What on earth?!" Sakuras voice was just as high-pitched as Tsunades had been just moments before. "What happened between Naruto and Anko?!" Tsunade looked at her with surprised eyes.
"Wow, I thought he'd told you. He's been dating Anko for months. No, it's over a year now. And he never told you?" They all stared at her. "They just got engaged... and apparently, so did I. But to this one here." She smiled to 'this one', who smiled back lovingly. "So, what have you guys been up to tonight, hm?" She looked from one couple to another. But before anyone could answer, Shino and Neji came up to them. Shino Immediately excused himself to go inside, while Neji gave them a quick nod and went to smooch Tenten, who smiled, but nobody could see that. Then Sakura spoke.
"Well, Choji and Tomos engaged, Inos pregnant and getting married to Shikamaru, Hinata got engaged to Kiba, Sasuke and I have exchanged keys to each other's hearts, so I guess we're an item, and Shino and Neji just got home..." Neji broke her off.
"Shino is about to propose to Kurenai." Hinata smiled.
"Kurenai? It's about bloody time if you ask me..." Kiba kissed her.
"Sure is..." Tsunade stared in disbelief.
"What the hell?" Sakura smiled.
"And obviously Anko and Naruto are engaged to, and of course, you and Jiraiya."
