Kankuro P.O.V.
Sans we left school early so no one got in trouble we all walked to the houses. We went to the one furthest from our house first and work our way to ours.
"Why are you home so soon?" Neji's uncle asked.
"We got let out of school early," he lied.
"Ware is Hinata then?" he asked.
"She is with her friends," he told him.
"So if I ask her then she will say you got let out early?" his uncle asked.
"Yeah, so can I go, all my friends came with me to ask," Neji told him stepping out of the way to show him.
"You have all these friends?" he asked.
"There are only nine people," he said.
"Well how many friends do Hinata have?" he asked.
"Almost the whole school," he told him, which was true sans she is popular.
"Ok, fine you can go, you can even stay overnight if it is a long party," his uncle told him closing the door.
"Wow your uncle doesn't really care that much does he," I said.
"He does, he just didn't want to say no in front of all of you," he told us. Then we walked to Tenten's house.
"Mom, can I go to Halloween party tonight, I don't know when it will end though. It might turn into a sleep over," she told her.
"Is that all the people going?" she asked.
"Yeah, but the girls will sleep in their own room if it turns into that and we will lock the door," Tenten told her. We don't know if that will happen yet but it might.
Next we went to Lee's house.
"Can I go to a party?" Lee asked his mom.
"Yeah sure what ever, I'm busy," she said closing the door.
"Correction, your mom doesn't really care," I laughed.
"Hey shut up, it's not my fault she is busy and doesn't think about me much anymore." Lee said. Everyone laughed at him. We crossed the street and went to Sasuke's house.
"I'm not even going to tell them, I'm just going to slide the letter I made under the door," he said, pushing the letter under and we went to Kiba's house.
When his dad opened the door his dog came running out.
"Aw, Kiba you have a cute puppy!" Temari and Tenten said petting the dog.
"Hey, dad can I go to a party, it might turn into an overnight thing though," Kiba said.
"Sure, sans it's a weekend I guess you can," his dad said.
"Ok and I need to bring some snacks and music," he told him.
"Why, don't they have any for it?" he asked.
"Not really, it was kind of short notice," Kiba told him.
"Ok, come get what you need then go," his dad told him.
"Ok Naruto we have to ask your parents now," I said.
"Um, how about I just tell my mom and dad ware I was tonight tomorrow," Naruto said.
"We don't want you getting in trouble though," Tenten told him.
"Aw, who cares lets skip him then," Gaara said.
"No, we can't do that," Sasuke said smirking. Then we saw Hinata across the street walking home alone. Neji went running over to her, we fallowed.
"Hey Hinata," Neji said.
"Y-yes," she said.
"If uncle asks we got let out of school early ok," he said.
"But we never," she told him.
"I know, but if he asks we did ok," Neji said again.
"I don't know," Hinata told him.
"If you tell him we got let out early and get some music and come over to Gaara's house then you can stay for the party," he told her.
"O-ok," she said. "But I don't know where it is," she said doing the thing she dose with her fingers.
"I'll show you," Temari said. "Go on without me guys, we'll catch up," she told us walking with Hinata back to her house.
We walked to Shikamaru's house to ask his parents, and it was then that I realized we forgot to go to Naruto's. Oh well, if he wants to get in trouble he can, in less he is hiding something from us. Shikamaru's mom answered.
"Hey mom, can I go to a party, it might be an overnight thing though. It's at Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro's house," he told her.
"Yeah sure, were going out tonight anyways and I rather you spend the night with your friends than alone," she told him.
"Thanks, I need to grab some snacks and music though," he told her.
"Sure, take the stuff and then go, were leaving right away," she told him.
After Shikamaru grabbed everything we needed that Kiba didn't take we set off to our house.
"This is going to be the best party ever," Lee said.
"Yeah, we get the whole house to ourselves and everything," Shikamaru said.
"Yeah, guys just don't make a big mess, because I'm going to be the one cleaning it up after," I said.
Temari P.O.V.
We got to Hinata's house and her dad was waiting for her. I stayed away so he couldn't see me come again but I was close enough to hear what they were saying.
"Hinata tell me the truth, did you get let out of school early?" he asked.
"Yes father we did, and I got invited to a party tonight, it might last a while, so I need to get some snacks and music for it; we wanted to have a ferity of music," she told him.
"You know I don't like it when you and Neji lie to me," her dad told her.
"Yes I know, that's why I'm telling you the truth," Hinata told him. I looked over to see what was happening. Hinata was giving her dad innocent puppy dog eyes.
"You know I hate it when you give me that look," he said. She continued to look at him like that. "Fine I believe you, and you can go. Grab your stuff, it's going to be so lonely without you or Neji here," he said. Hinata went in the house.
A few minutes later she came out with lots of stuff. She came over to me.
"That's a lot of stuff," I told her.
"We-well you said you needed snacks and music right? S-so I grabbed Neji's stuff too," she said shyly. She was so shy around other people but when she talks to her dad or Neji she is like a whole different person.
"Yeah we did, thanks," I said. "Here let me help you with some of that," I said grabbing two bags of chips and some CD's.
"T-thanks for the help," she said looking shyly to the ground.
We walked past the school and Shika's house. They must be at the house already. It was still a long way to go.
"So Hinata, not to be nosy or anything, but why are you always so shy innless your talking to you dad or Neji?" I asked.
"I-I don't know, I think it's just because I knew them my whole life and everyone else only for a little while," she said blushing shyly.
"Well its ok you know, we don't bite. And I'm new here, but these people are nice, I don't need to be shy around them; not that I ever was shy," I told her.
"I-I know, I'll work on it," she said smiling at me. Hinata is such a nice person; I think we are going to become good friends.
We got to the house and went in.
"Hey guys were here!" I yelled locking the door behind me. They all came running up from the basement.
"You have a nice house for three kids who live on their own and have no money," said Sasuke.
"Yeah, well we manage to get the money to pay the bills. Witch reminders me, when you leave a room in the house and no one else is in it make sure everything in it is off," I told them.
"Guys get back down here!" Gaara yelled to them. We went down stairs. They had a bunch of snacks in bowls.
"Kankuro, Gaara, we can keep using all the bowls and plates and stuff, washing those uses water which makes the water bill go up. And you can eat chips out of the bag!" I yelled at them
"Well sorry," Gaara said angrily. "I just thought that you might like it better if they were in a bowl so that we can take the chips we want without touching other ones and getting germs on them."
"Besides when they are empty again we can put a new bag in them," Kankuro said.
"Fine whatever," I said. They smirked at me.
We turned on the music and talked. I put some blankets out for people to sleep on if they decided to stay over, and we chose to have the girls sleep in the same room as the boy because the guys are our friends and if they try something we could hurt them. Every once in a while we refilled the bowls and after a while we took out the drinks Kiba and Hinata brought. Hinata sat away from everyone and never talked. I went over to her.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"N-nothing," she said.
"Well why don't you come and talk to us then?" I asked. She started blushing. "Oh come on I know something is wrong now, why are you blushing?" I asked. She shook her head. I smiled, "Oh come on, who do you like in this room?" I asked jokingly. She blushed more. "You're so shy, I'm going to have to get the guys to drag you over to talk to us," I told her.
"N-no it's ok," she said. "I'm good here."
"Oh come on," I said. She shook her head. "Fine," I said. "Guys, we I need some assistants dragging Hinata over to there so she is involved too!" I yelled to them.
"No!" she said as the guys came over.
"Come on," said Neji as Naruto, Gaara, and Sasuke dragged her over to where we were all sitting.
When we got her over there she put her knees up, put her arms on them, and hid her face in her arms. We started to talk, but the whole time Kiba avoided looking at Hinata. Kiba so likes her.
"So you guys want to do something besides talk?" Tenten said.
"Like what?" Lee asked.
"I don't know, play a game," she said.
"We don't have any games," Kankuro said.
"So we can play truth or dare or just go around the circle asking each other questions," Tenten said. Everyone agreed on asking each other questions.
"So Temari, what was the worst thing you ever did?" Naruto asked.
"You really want to know," I said.
"Yeah," he said.
"Well at my old school I got really mad at this girl because she was always bugging me because I was dating this guys she like. So I got him to write a letter saying to meet him some ware, when she came I tied her up. And I cut all her hair off and did some other pretty bad things. But let's just say that no one ever saw her again," I told them seriously. They were all stunned, and were quit for a while.
"Are you telling the truth?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah she is so messed up now, she is scared to go in public because she might see me," I said. "But anyways... Hinata, do you like anyone, and if so who?" I asked.
"Come on, you don't know her that well. Why would she tell you that?" Neji said.
"I don't know, but she has to now I asked," I said.
"Y-yes I do like someone," she said blushing and doing the thing with her fingers again.
"I see your getting better, not as shy," I said smiling. "So who is it?" She blushed more. "Come on, I said yes or no, and who."
"K-Kiba," she said quietly so only I could hear.
"Aw, ok," I said smiling "Don't worry I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you," she said still quietly.
"Oh come on, she has to tell everyone!" Naruto yelled.
"No I asked the question, she doesn't have to tell anyone else," I told him.
"When did we make that rule?" Gaara asked.
"I just did now, anyone else want to object to it?" I asked timidly. No one said anything. "Good," I said. The game lasted another hour and we learnt lots about each other. In the end we promised not to tell anyone else in the school; which with be hard for Hinata and Tenten sans they are popular and they have to tell the other popular kids everything, but they will make it though.
Gaara P.O.V.
I really want to know who Hinata likes even though it's none of my biasness. I don't know why I want to know so badly, I never want to know anything this badly. I just act like I do until people tell me and if they really don't then I leave them alone, but I just want to bug her tell she tells me even if she really doesn't want to.
"Come on Hinata, who do you like?" Naruto, Lee, Sasuke, and Kiba asked backing her into a corner.
"Come on guys leave her alone," I told them not even looking at them.
"But we really want to know," Lee said. I walked over to them.
"I want to know too but it's not nice to harass a girl about who she likes," I told them. Why am I defending her, I should be right in there with them.
"Come on Gaara, we want to know really badly," Naruto said turning back to her. "Come on Hinata who is it, is it one of us?"
I hit him in the nose, "leave her alone." I said calmly cracking my knuckles. He was on the floor holding his nose.
"Ah, that hurt! God damn Gaara what the hell!" he yelled. "You could have broken it!" Sasuke laughed. Why did I just do that? It's a good thing I never broke his nose; what has gotten into me?
"If I wanted to I would have," I said calmly. "Does anyone else want to bug her?" I said closing my eyes, no one said anything. I opened my eyes and looked at them. "Good, now go do something else," I told them and they went to the other side of the room.
"Gaara wasn't lying he could beat someone up in only one hit if he wanted too, that hurt," I heard Naruto say as they walked by. Sorry Naruto I don't know why I did that.
"Thank you," said in a quiet little voice beside me. I looked up.
"It's no problem Hinata; I don't like seeing guys act that way to girls. I don't know why, might be because of Temari and what some guys use to do to her; they were really mean and real perverts. I been wanting to hit guys like that for a while and now I got too; it's a good thing Naruto is my friend though or I would get in trouble," I told her.
"Oh," she said shyly.
"So any chance you are going to tell me who you like?" I asked jokingly. She looked angry.
"Why would I tell you if I didn't want to tell them huh? I mean come on if you only saved me from them so you could find out then I rather of had them harassing me!" she yelled.
"Wow calm down Hinata I was just kidding, I don't have to know," I told her. Yes I do tell me, tell me woman... Damn I have two personalities now.
"S-sorry," she said all shy again. Wow from angry to shy and quiet in only a few seconds.
"She is hot when she is angry though," I said thinking out loud quietly not knowing it.
"W-what?" Hinata asked. I looked up.
"Huh, what, sorry I was thinking out loud. You didn't hear that did you?" I asked. Damn I hope she never.
"N-no why?" she asked.
"No reason," I said. "Come on lets go over to wear our friends are, and hopefully they won't be bugging you anymore."
Kankuro P.O.V.
Gaara came over with Hinata and sat down.
"Why did you punch Naruto in the nose?" I asked.
"He was bugging Hinata," he mumbled.
"So what, you know what happened to the last kid you punched in the face," I said in a stern voice.
"Yeah, that's why I lightly taped him," Gaara said.
"That was a light tap?! You could have broken his nose!" Lee exclaimed.
"As a matter of fact it was a light tap compared to what he can do," Temari said. She was sitting over in the corner with Shikamaru.
"My god, I don't want to see him hit his hardest," Kiba said scared.
I smirked, "Then you better not piss him off," I said.
"I'll try not to," he replied.
A little while later we were getting tired and it was really late, but Neji and Tenten had disappeared.
"Where do you think they could have gone?" I asked.
"Probably went some ware in the house to make out," Naruto joked. Amazing he got hurt just a while ago for bugging someone and now he is at it again. We searched the house for a while. I went and looked in the rooms upstairs; Gaara wasn't too happy that I was going to go in his without him but I had to. Gaara's was the last room to check, I opened the door. Oh god, I forgot about all this sand. I climbed up the sand hill into the room. When I got in I just saw a head disappears into the quick sand we had made. I ran over and reached in. I felt at hand and grabbed it and pulled up. It was Tenten.
"T-thank you," she said gasping for air.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Neji and I stepped on the quick sand and out feet sunk in and we couldn't get out," she told me. "...Oh crap, Neji!" she yelled and reached into the sand. I reached in to help her look. We found him and pulled him out too.
"Why the hell dose your brother have quick sand in his room!" Neji yelled.
"We got bored one day and made it," I told him.
"So your part of the reason that we got stuck in there, people can die in that you know!" he said still yelling.
"I think that was Gaara's plan, so that if anyone came in they would be sucked in and killed. Why were you in here anyways?" I asked.
Tenten blushed, "No reason," she said. I didn't question them anymore, if they wanted to keep it to their self's than they could.
When we go back down stairs we heard Temari and Gaara yelling at each other.
"He isn't sleeping by you; you can go sleep on the other side of the room with Tenten and Hinata!" Gaara yelled at her.
"You're not the boss of me, I can sleep ware ever I want!" she yelled back, "Or would you prefer it if Shikamaru and I went up stairs to my room and slept in my bed?" Gaara mumbled something. "He is not sleeping outside! And I think Tenten would like sleeping by Neji, it's not like we're going to do anything; and if we did you would hear us," Temari told him smirking.
"You know what fine whatever, I don't care, because I know you wouldn't do anything with him!" Gaara yelled. Then he went to go make his bed.
Everyone was on the other side of the room stunned not moving. Tenten, Neji, and I walked over to them.
"Hey guys look who I found," I said. They turned to us and pretended they never just saw or heard what just happened. "They were in Gaara's room dying in the quick sand," I told them.
"Gaara has quick sand? I want to see!" Naruto yelled, running to the stairs. Sasuke grabbed the caller of his shirt; which made him choke himself. "Let go I want to see!" he yelled.
"I don't think Gaara wants people in his room, that's why there is quick sand there," Sasuke said still holding the caller tightly. Naruto frowned, Sasuke let go. "If you try to run up there I will grab you again and this time I won't let you go," he told him. Naruto sat down and gloomed.
Temari P.O.V.
Shika and I set up our beds by each other.
"Do you have to sleep by me? I mean I said I wanted to go out with you but were not going steady or anything and I don't like it when you are too close to me," he told me not looking at me wile fixing his bed.
"Yes I do I want to prove a point to Gaara. And why is it that you don't like me getting close to you? I thought you would love that you finally get to be that close," I said.
He looked at me and frowned, "I thought I would too but I don't," he said sadly.
"And why not," I asked.
"I don't know," Shikamaru replied.
"Well you will just have to get use to it like I said, and if you don't want me here I'll be by Hinata," I told him.
"No, It's ok, you can stay here and prove your point," he told me.
I smiled, "Thank you," I said.
I looked over to see what everyone else was doing; they were making their beds too. Then I saw Hinata and my smile faded. She was making her bed but she was all alone on the other side of the room. Maybe Tenten and I should go to the other side of the room so she has company. Then I saw Naruto and Kiba go over to her. They talked to her; I couldn't hear what they said; and then she got up shyly and took her stuff over ware they were going to sleep, and re-made her bed by theirs but far enough away. I didn't feel so bad after seeing them invite her over, now she won't be lonely.
We all went to bed because we were tired, but by me Shika couldn't sleep.
"What's the matter?" I asked in a whisper to him.
"I really think you sleeping by me was a bad idea," he whispered back.
"Well then why did you change your mind and say I could sleep by you? I would have respected that you never wanted me to sleep here and moved," I told him.
"But I do want you to sleep here, I just...it's complicated," Shika said.
"So I guess it wouldn't help if I used you as a pillow because mine isn't soft enough," I said smiling.
"Probably not...why do you want to use me as a pillow anyways? What makes you think I'm any softer?" he asked.
"Nothing I..." I heard someone move.
"We have to be quieter, or someone will wake up," I said.
"Gaara probably is awake and watching us, I mean why would he sleep when you and I are sleeping this close to each other," he said.
"You're probably right, what to see if he is?" I asked.
"Depends, how would we check?" he asked.
"Like this," I said kissing him on the lips.
He blushed, and turned the other way. I saw someone get up and they started coming over to us. I bet its Gaara.
"What the hell was that!" he yelled, Yeah defiantly Gaara.
"Calm down Gaara it was nothing god, I just wanted to see if you were watching us; and you were; that was all. And you got to stop yelling everyone will wake up," I told him in a whisper.
"Fine I'll be quieter, but why the hell would you kiss him just to see if I was watching you," he said whispering now.
"Because I knew it would work; and even if you weren't watching I got to kiss him. And besides it's not like we did anything else, it was just a peck on the lips," I told him.
"We'll look at him now he is facing away from you and blushing. I don't think he is old enough to have a girlfriend because most guys wouldn't have turned away, they would have turned it into more than just a peck on the lips," Gaara said.
"So you want me to date older guys that would do that?" I asked.
"No, I just don't want you dating him anymore. You like him too much and I don't know what this is going to turn into," he told me.
"Why are you always on my case about guys; you are one; and plus I was his friend first so we know each other well. And I have had many boyfriends before; I know how to handle myself. You don't have to act like a father to me; I am older than you anyways. Also if you get married and have kids and have a girl she will hate you if you are like this to her," I told him angrily.
"I'm on you case because I know what guys are like; like you said I am one; and I know you know each other well and that you were friends, that's why I'm worried because if it doesn't work out than that friendship and be ruined. And I know you had boyfriends before and you know how to handle yourself with them; but you like Shikamaru way more than any other guy you dated; so the question is, do you have any self control? And if I ever do get married and had a girl she will thank me one day for being so hard on her about guys, because she will realize when she is older that I helped her through tough things and stopped her from doing things that could affect her future in a bad way," Gaara told me.
"Gaara you grew up too fast," I told him. "You know all the answers and mom and dad leaving has forced you to become a father too soon; and it's to me none the less; even though you are younger; because you knew that if you never stopped me, like dad would have, from doing some things that it could have wrecked my future and I would have been miserable," I started to cry. "Thank you, but you don't have to be a father anymore, be a kid you only have a few years left before you are all grown up and you need to have some fun. Don't worry about me anymore I'll be fine; you know Shikamaru is a nice guy," I said standing up and hugging him. "Mom and dad would be proud of you for protecting me for them, but they wanted us to not have to worry about being adults until we actually are suppose to. They wanted us to just be kids." Gaara pushed me away.
"Don't hug me when you are crying you got me wet. You know what just don't hug me at all, I don't like hugs," he said.
"Yeah I know you never liked anyone hugging you, just mom," I laughed.
"Well I'm going to go back to bed now, and I guess I'll leave you guys alone," he said with a sigh and walked away.
I sat up, "Shika what's wrong?" I asked in a whisper.
"Nothing I'm tired," he whispered back.
"I'm starting to think you don't like me," I told him sadly.
"No I really do, it's just I don't know. I never had a girlfriend before and I don't know, it's different," he told me.
I laughed, "Well it's something you will get use too. Want me to kiss you again so you get use to it faster?" I asked.
"No it's ok, I'm good for now. I'm tired," he told me, and we went to sleep.
