"Sasuke, I'd like you to meet Kayako, Miko, Saeko, Yukiko, and Yooko." Keiko said pointing to each girl.

"All of their names end in ko..." he thought.

"Kiko you lucky girl you! He's absolutely gorgeous!" Saeko said drooling over Sasuke.

"And here we called you the dateless wonder and now you've landed a total hottie! Maybe I should call myself a failure so my grades can go up?" Miko said thinking.

"Wait, you guys called me the dateless wonder?" Kiko said ignoring the other parts.

"All in the past, clearly we were wrong. So, what's on the agenda for tonight Keiko?" Yukiko asked.

"Tonight is movie night! Nothing but action, horror, mystery, sci-fi and romance." Keiko said.

"My kind of night." Kiko smiled.

"We'll be sure to keep the lights off for maximum horror effects." Kayako told them.

"Sasuke, you don't scream during scary movies do you?" Yooko asked.

"Haven't seen one that even caused me to stay awake." Sasuke said.

"Perfect. Kiko's our leading scream queen." Miko said.

"I am not." Kiko said, offended.

"Remember the Freddy Kreuger Movie Marathon? You screamed yourself hoarse." Saeko laughed.

"Hey, you all screamed just as loud."

"But you shattered my glass cup. Oh yeah! you owe me a new cup!" Kayako said.

"Anyway...let's get started before the fire goes down. We can roast marshmallows on boring parts and during disk changes. I brought loads of chocolate, soda and marshmallows. Now on to the fireplace with the large plasma screen T.V.!" Keiko said.

"I thought your grandparents weren't into technology?" Kiko said.

"I know, they aren't. They bought this for me since I've been such a good girl." she laughed.

They all went to the livingroom where a 15-inch plasma screen T.V. stood. Saeko hugged it,"Sweet, electronic heaven..."

Sasuke began to help taking out the food and drinks when Kaeko and Miko grabbed him and set him down on the couch.

"Rest yourself Sasuke." Miko said.

"Yeah, let your girlfriend get some food for ya!" Kiko said happily.

"Way ahead of you." Kiko said walking up and handing him a couple cans of soda.

"Awww, you'll make a good wife yet!" Keiko said patting her on the head.

"May your ceiling crash down on you tonight." Kiko said with a smile.

"Aww, so sweet of you to say that." Keiko returned the smile, both of them laughing at each other.

They proceeded to move the large T.V. complete with DVD player and VCR. At first there was one, then two, then four, then all seven girls attempted to move it, yet it wouldn't budge.

"Do you guys need some help?" Sasuke asked.

"No we're fine, we got this." Keiko said. After another failed attempt,"Okay...we need help."

Sasuke got up and was able to push the entire thing in the position they wanted it.

"He has the strength of seven women, maybe more. Bravo!" Keiko said clapping, everyone else joining in.

"You guys are so retarded." Kiko said sitting down on the couch next to a red-faced Sasuke.

"Okay; popcorn, check; fireplace, check; marshmallow-chocolate piece-long straw combo, check; extra candy, check; band of screaming girls and brave guy, check and mate. Alright! Time to wet our pants." Keiko said turning on a scary movie.

As the opening commercials came, they all stuck a piece of chocolate in their marshmallows and held them over the fire, quickly yanking them out when they started getting crispy. Kiko got an idea and snatched Sasuke's away, who looked at her in confusion. She blew on it to cool it off and aimed for his mouth. Finally getting the message, he opened his mouth to receive it, almost laughing when she had to move closer to better her aim. Instead she kissed him full on the lips, in front of everyone, and while his mouth hung slightly open in surprise she slipped his sugary treat in; cat calls and cheering came after. When the movie started, all the girls kept their eyes peeled to screen, jumping and squealing whenever something happened. Kiko clung to Sasuke, burying her face in chest whenever the killer snuck up on someone or surprised someone. In the middle of the movie Sasuke wrapped an arm around her. After the horror movie, they went on to mystery, the girls giving their own theories on who the culprit could be. In the end, Miko's theory proved correct, giving her bragging rights for a couple of minutes.

"I have to go to the bathroom, hold the next movie guys." Kayako said getting up.

"Me too." Yooko said rising.

"Aw man, I drunk all my soda, gotta get another one." Keiko said getting up.

"Me too." Miko said getting up.

"Me three." Saeko said.

"Me four." Yukiko said.

All four girls rose and went to the kitchen, while the other two went to the bathroom, leaving Sasuke and Kiko alone.

"Kiko, I have something to ask you."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Did you kiss me to impress your friends?"

"No. But, remember that day I when I saw the love birds, and I talked about them making the best of their situation?"

"Yeah."

"Well," she said bringing her face closer to his,"this is me, making the best of my situation." she said giving him another kiss,"I wasn't lying when I said I love you."

"I know you weren't, but I'm..."

"So used to being disappointed in people?"

He didn't answer.

"Well, I'll make you this promise, that so long as I have life in my body, and a conscious mind, I will never leave you alone. Pinky swear?" she asked holding up her pinky, grinning.

He smiled and wrapped his pinky around hers. "Ok."

"Awww, such a precious moment." Keiko said the other girls behind her faking blowing their noses and crying. Kiko glared.

"Okay, Okay, I get it. We'll be nosy another time. Now we watch 300! Let the slaughter and collection of delicously looking soldiers begin!" Keiko said pushing play.

After the movie, they all gathered around the fire, roasting their marshmallows, and swapped stories.

"I remember this one time, I went into this old house to help take care of this old lady." Yooko said,"I thought I heard something in the attic, but when I went to go check, nothing was there...But for some reason, I felt like I was being stalked by something while I was in that house."

"You should try to burn it down." Kayako said.

"Yeah, fire solves everything." Saeko said laughing.

"Kiko, I know you must have a weird story to tell, besides the obvious." Keiko said hinting at Sasuke.

Kiko thought for a moment, then remembered the pale man,"Well, about a week or two ago, I was walking to school. I turned the corner and bumped into this man, only he looked really weird. His skin was literally white, and his eyes were golden with slits, like you'd see in a cat or snake. He smiled at me and kept going, telling me to be careful I don't bump into anyone dangerous. I felt kinda...scared during that whole situation, something about that guy just didn't seem...normal, or even human." she felt Sasuke tense up a bit, but didn't think now was the right time to ask; she'd do it later.

"Creepy...Hey! He might've been a vampire! We should totally go find him." Keiko said excitedly.

"There are times where we wonder how you're a science prodigy, yet you cling on to fantasy like that lobster on Yooko's finger at that diner." Miko said.

"Science prodigy?" Sasuke asked.

"Yep, little miss Buffy here, in the words of our last chemistry teacher before his mental breakdown, has the potential to cause her own homemade nuclear meltdown." Kayako said.

"What are we doing tomorrow?" Kiko asked.

"We're all going to the town spa for a day of rest, relaxation, and pampering." Keiko said.

"Wow, how did you arrange all that?" Saeko asked.

"This town is damn near empty, it wasn't hard with this empty town." she said proudly.

"When are we leaving tomorrow?" Kiko asked.

"Meh, somewhere in between 10 to 12; wanna get there so we'll have plenty of time to relax." she replied.

"Well then, I'm going to go and get some sleep. Night ya'll." Kayako said heading towards her room.

"Yeah, I'm gonna head towards the sack too." Saeko said getting up.

Everyone got up and went to their rooms, tired from screaming, thinking, yelling and crying. Sasuke froze before the bed, blushing furiously from the awkward moment. Kiko rolled her eyes and pushed him on the bed, then laid down next to him. "Don't worry, we're just going to sleep." she said laughing at him. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Sasuke was still up, he hadn't yet forgotten what she said about running into the pale man.

"Orochimaru." he said falling asleep.
