Chapter 4- Truth or Dare?
The next few days seem to pass by so fast. Ino realizes her foster parents strange behavior but pushes it to the back of her mind.
Early on this Friday morning Ino calls up the group to help set up the party. Just when it starts to get dark the party is ready to start. Gaara is the first to arrive. He lays his small gift down on a table and waits for the rest of the guys to arrive. Itachi and Shikamaru are next to arrive, they greet Gaara and proceed to the living room. After almost ten minutes Sasuke and a friend enter.
"Who's this?" Ino eyes up the gray haired attractive young stranger.
"Kakashi. Tayuya suggested that I bring him for Sakura." Sasuke whispers.
Ino nods and reaches to shut the door when Kin shows up.
"Sorry I'm late! Had a hard time figuring out directions." She smiles and hands Ino a bag.
Everyone sat in a circle in Ino's white carpeted living room, they decide Sasuke has the honors of starting Truth or Dare, the oldest party game in the book.
"Sakura." he smiles.
"Uh. . Truth." Sakura answers.
"Is it true you've been checking out my man, Kakashi since he got here?" He grins even larger.
She blushes, "Yes."
It's now her turn, "Gaara, truth or dare?"
Unafraid, he answers, "Dare."
"I dare you to make out with Ino." She giggles.
His eyes widen as he went pale. Even though they've been dating for two years he'd never "made out" with her. He took it real slow and traditional with her, he cared about her. Now in front of all these people, do that?
He wants to but he can't.
"Well?" Sakura asks.
"How hard is it to kiss your own girlfriend. . ?" Itachi laughs.
Ino smiles with excitement as Itachi makes kissy faces until Temari smacks him upside the head.
Gaara finally stands up, "I'm going to the bathroom." He runs out of the room.
"Oh my god. ." Temari whispers.
Itachi bursts out with laughter as Ino's happiness fades.
Gaara shut the bathroom door behind him.
"Ugh! Idiot! You should've kissed her!" Gaara yells into the mirror.
"Itachi, you go."
"Okay! Kin I dare you to kiss me!" Itachi launches forward.
"Not so fast!" Ino stands in front of Kin with her hand out. Itachi's tongue collides with her hand and she shrieks, "Freak!"
She wipes his slobber on him and she whines about the rules of the game.
"Cake time!" A voice yells from the kitchen, interrupting her.
Gaara descends down the stairs shamefully after everyone piles into the kitchen. He opens the kitchen door and finds everyone eating cake, except for Ino.
Gaara stalks over to her, "Get up."
Ino is cold, "Why?"
He pulls her up and lifts her chin, pulling her as close to him as he can he takes her face in his hands and passionately kisses her as deeply as he can.
The group stares and the guys cheer at him.
"Let's open presents!" Sakura squeals.
Ino is handed one present after the next, all cute things like clothing or jewelry. Gaara's gift however had fallen underneath the table, he is too caught up in the party to notice.
The truth or dare game is resumed after her presents.
"Tayuya, truth or dare?" Kin continues the game.
"Dare." Tayuya replies, brave.
"I dare you to. . Jump out of Ino's bed room window!"
Ino raises an eyebrow, "If she does it, you're paying for my new window." She warns Kin.
"What? Why me? Tayuya's fat ass is the one breaking the window." Kin whines.
"You're daring her."
Kin mumbles, "Fine."
Everyone follows Tayuya up to Ino's room, she stands ready to run. She bursts into a sprint and crashes through Ino's window. They all stare out the ledge as she lands on her feet.
Kin is in awe, "I didn't think she'd really do it."
Sakura mumbles, "It's cause her Sasuke-kun is here."
"Listen, she probably did it for fun. I'm not impressed with girls jumping out of windows." He smirks.
They hurry back down stairs, Tayuya opens the door, bleeding and picking glass out of her, "That wasn't so bad.", she smiles.
The dares continue on until the party ends, Gaara and Temari stay to help clean up as everyone leaves. Gaara slides up to Ino's room while she says goodbye to Temari and thanks her.
She opens her door and screams at the sight of Gaara.
