"Welcome to the Village Hidden in the Leafs." Tsunade announced to the large group of shinobi. "I hate being so formal, so I'm going to just cut to the chase; the reason why I invited you here is because I think our Villages need to be brought together. So instead of having a huge formal evening dinner and meetings, I decided to throw a party!" Tsunade smiled as some of the shinobi cheered. "Now unfortunately there are some rules, but they'll add even more excitement and thrill to our party." Tsunade nodded to Shizune who pulled out a small scroll.

"Rule number 1: All guests/representatives must bring a date." There were a few grumbles in the crowd followed by cheers from a group of young men.

"What if we don't follow some of these rules?" Asked Temari who came on Gaara's behalf since he was sick with a horrible case of the flu.

"You're mission will be considered a failure and you wont be paid. Nor will we allow you to attend the party." Shizune smiled sweetly and continued. "Rule number 2: All shinobi who are attending must be over the age of seventeen. Rule number 3: All females must wear a dress or skirt and shirt while males must wear either a nice pair of slacks, collared shirt, and tie or suit. Are there any questions?"

"Yes." A young man raised his hand high into the air. "When are we allowed to ask people to the party?"

"Starting tomorrow when the mission is passed out to all eligible shinobi." Tsunade answered.

"Are we allowed to refuse dates?" Asked Hikari.

"Of course, it's just like an academy dance only this time we're serving alcohol." Tsunade laughed a little. "That's all for now, the dance party's in three weeks. I'll keep you posted on more information as the date draws nearer. Till then have fun, and all guests are allowed to stay at any hotel for free. Just tell 'em to call the Hokage and I'll take care of the fee." Tsunade waved and proceeded out followed by Shizune.

"Well, well, well, look what the dog killed and brought home." A voice called from behind Kakashi and Hikari. Both turned around and saw Kurenai standing beside Asuma.

"Clever, how've you been?" Hikari asked as Kurenai gave her a hug.

"Not so bad, Asuma's been keeping me busy during my free time, and I've also got a my own squad." Kurenai said as Asuma grabbed her butt and made her jump a little.

"I can tell…so what's it like to have one of the Three Great Shinobi as your Hokage?"

"It's really nice. Tsunade's very kind to us and has taken very good care of the village. We've also got another one of the Three Great Shinobi living here too, Jiraiya. And if the rumors and my calculations are correct, the two have become very active lately. That's not very unusual though, seeing that more and more of our shinobi here have been starting relationships with others. So what about you, has any guy swept you off your feet yet?"

"No, all the shinobi at the Mist aren't my type. They spend too much time caring about missions and are usually not very caring. The few that are nice, are just not my type, they're not dangerous enough." Hikari smiled and Kurenai began to laugh.

"Dangerous eh?" Kakashi said.

"Yeah, I want a man that can keep me on my toes and can keep me safe, even though I can keep myself perfectly safe." Asuma looked up at Kakashi and both stared blankly at the other.

"I guess this means that you two have some catching up to do. Well then, Kakashi and I are going for some drinks. See ya." Asuma kissed Kurenai while Kakashi turned to Hikari and said, "Later." Both men walked away as the two women gazed after them.

"Is that dangerous enough for you Hikari? Rumor has it that he hasn't slept with any one since that ANBU mission a few years back."

"Oh shut up, that was a long time ago. Besides, we both agreed that it was better for us to just remain as friends."

"Good, then you won't mind if I ask him to the dance party?" A sly and calm voice from behind asked. Hikari and Kurenai turned to see Anko and Genma standing behind them. "I'll see you later, I've got some catching up to do." Anko kissed Genma on the cheek and he teleported.

"Hey Anko." Kurenai said nervously as she glanced at the two shinobi.

"Anko."

"Hikari. Finally decided to come back. I couldn't help but over hear your little conversation about the party." Hikari stared calmly at the women saying, "So you did, would you like to add something to it?"

"Actually yes, yes I would. It humors me how you pretend not to like Hatake Kakashi, even though in reality you are in love with him and are jealous."

"Jealous, of what? There's nothing about you that would interest me. You're just a plain girl that knows Hatake Kakashi."

"Oh, so you haven't heard then." Anko snickered as Hikari slowly became irritated by her conversation with Anko. "This is so hard for me to break the news to you but Kurenai's incorrect about some of her information she's told you; you're not the only one who's shared a bed with Kakashi. See, after you left Kakashi was a little lonely and still needy, so I was perfectly willing to fulfill those desires. Lately though we haven't been able to be with each other because he's been going on more missions lately." Anko began to examine her nails. Hikari stared emotionlessly at the female but on the inside, there was a demon that was ready to lash out its enormous power. "So I was wondering if you were actually going to try."

"What are you talking about Anko?" Kurenai asked puzzled.

"I'm so curious if Hikari's actually goanna try a win over Kakashi's heart and beautiful body." Hikari narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's going through your head?"

"Well, I've got a little deal for you. Whoever is successful in asking Kakashi to the party and sleeps with him, will become the winner. Therefore the winner gets to stay with Kakashi as long as he pleases and can do with him what ever she wishes. The loser on the other hand, cannot interfere with them and might as well just get those ridiculous thoughts of him out of their heads. What do you say, is it a deal?" Anko smiled and watched Hikari think over the possible out comes.

"Hikari I-"

"Deal." Hikari interrupted Kurenai and held out her hand to Anko. "Any rules I should know about before we shake on it?"

"You can decide on the rules."

"No Genjutsu, you can't kill your opponent, and there will be no drugging or use of alcohol to get him to sleep with you."

"Pretty tough rules, but I'll agree with them." Anko shook hands with Hikari. "Bet starts tomorrow as soon as the mission scroll is posted. Bye Kurenai." Anko waved off and left the two standing there in silence.


I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in a long time but my internet was down and I couldn't find a working computer (why does this always happen to me). Please do me a favor and review. Thanks. -
