Chapter 8 Clubbing
All the girls were in Ino's room getting ready for their night on the town putting on make up and doing their hair. Tenten was wearing a shirt similar to the one she usually wore on this one was black with red dragons on it. She also wore a black mini skirt, fishnets, and black combat boots.
Sakura was wearing a baby pink dress with white flowers, white sandals, and a heart shaped necklace, something she secretly got from Sasuke last Valentines. She used a pink headband to pull her hair out of her face. Ino was wearing a tight purple mini skirt, white mini tank top with a long sleeved fishnet shirt over top, and white ankle boots. Her hair was in her usual pony.
Mika was wearing a red mid thigh dress, brown knee high cowgirl boots, white open blouse and she put her hair in low pigtails. Around her neck was a gold necklace with three stars on it.
"Has anyone seen my hat?" asked Mika.
"You're not wearing that cowboy hat," said Ichigo who was wearing a white tank top under a black tank top and a black mini skirt that came just to mid thigh. She then wore a green jacket similar to that of the black one Shino usually wears, pink John Lennon sunglasses, and black knee high boots. She kept her hair also in its usual ponytail.
"Just give her, her hat Ichigo," said Momoko who was wearing a white off the shoulder peasant top, a knee length jean skirt with what looked like snowflakes on it. Momoko had her hair in two high pigtails. Kira walked up behind Mika and dropped the brown cowboy hat on her head. Kira was wearing a pink belly top with rhinestones in the shape of as heart, white knee length skirt, and white, strappy heels.
"Mika you look adorable with that," said Temari who was wearing a baby tank top, the ones that were tight at the breast but then loosened around the waist and stopped just passed the hips. Below that she was wearing a blue jean skirt that came to mid thigh and black sandals like the ones Tsunade wears. She took her hair down from her usual four pigtails and just let it hang down in soft waves.
"Where's Hinata?" asked Sakura as she looked around.
"I'm not coming out," said Hinata who had resided herself to be in Ino's closet.
"Oh come on Hinata it's not that bad," said Temari who reached into the closet and pulled Hinata out. Hinata was wearing a tiny kimono like shirt that was a bright robin's egg blue. It came just to above her stomach revealing a fox charmed belly button ring. Below that she was wearing tight black caprice and the same type of sandals as Temari.
"Oh my god, Hinata!" said Ino as she walked up to her. "You look amazing and since when have you had your belly button pierced?"
Hinata blushed. "Thank you and I've had it pierced for about a year now just don't tell my father. He'd kill me," pleaded the Hyuuga girl.
"Don't worry Hina-chan your secret is safe with us," said Mika as she smiled. "Like the fox by the way."
Hinata blushed. "Naruto-kun picked it out for me."
All the girls awed at this. As they started out of the bedroom they saw the boys standing around downstairs. They all wore outfits similar to their usual ones only slightly different, more clubbish.
"Hey where's Shikamaru and Nintai?" asked Temari as she looked around for her boyfriend. Just then Shikamaru came in the door with Nintai.
"Oh toughen up Maru-maru," said Nintai.
Shikamaru flopped on the couch. "I'm not moving for two days."
Temari walked over to him. "Tough you're coming clubbin'," she said and started to drag him upstairs by his collar.
"You look like shit, Shikamaru," said Lee who was being glomped by Nintai.
"And you won't have time to rest because I'm gonna work you so hard so you can learn some new techniques," said Nintai.
Shikamaru sighed. "Troublesome… Ow stupid bird," he mumbled as he was being dragged up the stairs. Everyone laughed.
"So Naruto, what do you think of Hinata?" asked Ino. Naruto looked at Hinata and nearly drooled.
Naruto gulped rather loudly. "Wow," he said awe stricken. Hinata blushed and kissed his cheek. He wrapped her in his arms.
Neji went red in the face. "Hinata-sama I must ask you to go change immediately. If your father were to see you like that I…"
"Oh hush up Neji-kun," said Ten-ten as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
Kiba went up behind Mika and wrapped his arms around her. "Nice outfit," he said with a smirk. Mika beamed and snuggled to him.
"Kankuro stop breathing down my neck," said Ino. Everyone looked to see Kankuro standing incredibly close to Ino and literally drooling over her shoulder. His hands slunk around her waist and he pressed her to him. Ino's eyes went wide and a blush crept over her cheeks for reasons unknown and one reason no one wanted to know.
Everyone sat around and for waited Shikamaru to be dragged down and Nintai to finish getting dressed. Finally after fifteen minutes Shikamaru came back wearing combat boots and an outfit similar to his old genin outfit. Nintai wore boots, faded black jeans, black chaps, and a form fitting white tee shirt with "QT 3.14".
"Alright let's party!" said Ichigo as she headed to the door. Everyone followed but Ichigo stopped, grabbed Mika's hat, and threw it back in the house.
"Hey!" cried Mika as she tried to go back and get it.
"Kiba grab her!" commanded Ichigo. So Kiba grabbed Mika, threw her over his shoulder, and continued walking.
"Kiba you traitor," whined Mika as big anime tears fell down her face.
Everyone laughed.
It didn't take them long to get to the club but when they arrived they could see a long line going into the club. Loud thumping music was coming from the inside. The club itself was called the "Tan Turtle" (which is actually a restaurant where I live called the 'Tan Turtle Tavern')
"Oh great! How are we going to get in now? The line's fucking huge," said Kiba who still had Mika slung over his shoulder and was supporting her butt so she wouldn't fall. Though the funny thing is… Mika didn't seem to mind all that much which surprised her sisters. Mika never used to let 'any' male get near her before and here she is letting 'Kiba' of all people hold her.
Ichigo started laughing evilly. "Not necessarily," she said. Ichigo bounced over to the bouncer (that's redundant) and said something to him. The bouncer nodded and went in side the club and a few minutes later came out with… Shino's parents. (dun dun dun) Shino literally paled at the sight of his parents.
"Evening kids," said Shibi.
"Dad… we're not kids anymore," replied Shino. His mom went over to him and hugged him.
She grabs him by the cheek. "You'll always be my handsome little boy," she said in a babyish tone and gave him a big kiss on the forehead. Shino looked like he was going to cry from embarrassment and everyone laughed at him.
"Well what are we waiting for let's get going," said Ichigo.
"Um… Ichigo how did you learn about this place?" asked Ten-ten.
Ichigo giggled. "From Shino's parents at mine and Shino's engagement party.
"Come on let's go inside," said Mika as she pointed to the front door, from her perch over Kiba's shoulder.
Shino's mother looked at Kiba with a weird look. "Kiba… dear… why is there a girl slung over your shoulder?" she asked.
Mika and Kiba both blushed and Kiba put Mika down gently. "What girl?" he replied quickly.
Shino's mother just looked at him like -- (don't know how to describe it) and everyone laughed. They all walked up to the club and Shibi told the bouncer that the gang was with him and they were allowed in. They all walked over to a HUGE round table in the back of the club near the DJ but away from the speakers so they didn't have to shout to be heard.
Everyone sat down and looked around the club. There were at least forty or fifty people on the dance floor with colored lights flashing everywhere. At least twenty or so people were seated at tables and the bar.
Shino's parents pulled up two chairs and sat with them.
"So what do you guys think?" asked Shibi.
"I love it," said Ichigo as she bounced in her seat.
"Thank you," said Shino's mom.
"Um… dad… who owns this place?" asked Shino.
Shibi grinned. "We do son. Your mother and I bought this place, thought it would be a good investment and as of so far it is." Shino slammed his head on the table and everyone sweatdrops.
"Do you guys have karaoke here?" asked Mika who was beaming from ear to ear.
"As a matter of fact we do," smiled Shibi.
Mika cheered and clapped hands with Momoko.
"You're going to sing with us right, Kira?" asked Momoko.
"I do not sing in public," said Kira sternly. Momoko pouted.
"Anyway," said Ichigo as she stretched her arms over her head.
Just as Ichigo was about to say some thing further the loud speakers started a very strange song. (song is 'The Bad Touch' by The Bloodhound Gang
Shino's parents cheered and got up and headed over to the dance floor and started dancing. Shino covered his face and placed his head on the table. Everyone laughed when he started banging his head to the downbeat.
"Oh! My poor Shino-kun," cooed Ichigo as she hugged him.
Mika grabbed Kiba's hand. "Come on let's go dance," she said as she tried to drag him onto the dance floor.
Kiba shook his head. "I don't think so," he replied. Mika pouted at him.
"Fine then I'll go dance with Shino's parents," said Mika as she started to walk over to them but Kiba grabbed her arm and they started talking in hushed whispers.
Shino's mom started to stick her hand down the front of Shibi's pants and Shino would have launched himself at them if Ichigo hadn't been sitting on his lap.
Mika managed to escape from Kiba and she ran over to Shibi and his wife and started jumping up and down and dancing. Kiba growled to himself as he watched his girlfriend sway her hips to the music.
"Geez Kiba," said Naruto as he watched his friend. "Jealous of Shino's parents?"
"Shut the fuck up Naruto," growled Kiba. Naruto just laughed at him.
Kiba couldn't take it anymore and jumped up immediately when some boy that was on the dance floor started to dance with Mika. Kiba grabbed Mika around the waist, away from the boy and growled at him. Naruto laughed his ass off at this. Mika cheered, wrapping her arms around Kiba's neck and winked at the boy who just smirked and walked off. Kiba glared at her.
"You did that on purpose didn't you?" he asked.
Mika smiled and nodded. "Yes, so you'd dance with me." Kiba sighed and placed his head in the crook of Mika's neck to take in her scent. He then started to dance with her.
Nintai rose a brow at this and the girls started catcalling at them. The boys just kind of sat there with smirks.
"This is an animal clan song… not getting up," said Shikamaru as he started to fall asleep.
Naruto sat there bouncing lightly in his seat to the beat as every one watched as Shibi did the weirdest move they've seen. He took his hands and was pointing them in the air twice before switching to the other side.
Everyone in the club cheered as the song ended and the four came off the dance floor and sat down. Mika was beaming and Kiba was smirking lightly yet mumbling something about 'sneaky little bitch'.
Shibi cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. "Um… Ladies can you please excuse the boys and I. I wish to talk to them about something," said the older jounin.
The girls nodded and stood up. Ichigo kissed Shino's cheek but he kept hold of her hand with a look on his face that said 'Don't leave me with my father.' Ichigo just laughed and kissed his lips before walking off.
Once all the girls left Shibi looked at the boys seriously. "Alright boys, seeing that you all have, significant others, I think its time we all had a sex talk."
"Father?!" said Shino, slightly outraged.
"Now son this is important seeing as how you're going to be married in five months. Alright so listen." Most of the boys leaned forward and Lee pulled out a pad and paper. (LMAO this next part comes from Jeff Foxworthy) "Women… are like diesel engines," started Shibi and the boys looked at him strange. "Cause once you get them going, they can go a long, long time. Men… are like bottle rockets." Shibi started making sound affects. "Shwo, boom, ooh-aah. Snore."
Kiba was trying not to laugh as Shibi came back to normal.
"So boys… make sure to warm up the engine before you light the rocket!" (that was wynturchylde) Kiba started howling with laughter as Shino went red in the face.
Mika, Kira, Nintai, Sakura, and Hinata sat at the bar looking over at the boys while Ino, Temari, Ichigo, Momoko, and Tenten were on the dance floor.
"What do you suppose Kiba is laughing about?" asked Mika as she craned her neck to get a better look at her boyfriend.
"Beats me," said Kira as she took a sip of her soda.
"Hey Mika can I talk to you?" asked Nintai.
"Sure," Mika jumped down from her stool and went over to Nintai.
"You were right," whispered Nintai in her ear. "About Kira, you were right. She seems scared of something. What is she afraid of?"
Mika looked at Nintai sadly and took a deep breath and whispered back, "She's afraid of hurting people, her friends. She fears that if she gets too close that she might turn on them. It's… a long story."
Mika gave a small smile, turned to grab her drink, and walked back over to the boys where she sat in Kiba's lap. Nintai bit her bottom lip and looked over at Kira who was just staring down at her glass. Nintai walked up to her.
"Let's go back to the guys," she said. Kira nodded and went and sat beside Gaara. The other girls followed. After several songs the rest of the girls came and sat down. Ino didn't sit on Kankuro's lap instead she straddled his hips and started to make out with him. Course he wasn't complaining.
"Get a room," said Naruto as he punched Kankuro's shoulder. The boy ignored him though and continued to make out with the sexy blonde on his lap.
"Hey Dad!" said Ichigo as she inched closer to Shibi.
'Dad?' thought everyone except Shino.
Shibi looked at his future daughter in law. "Yes dear?"
"Am I allowed to have sake? Please!!"
"Hey yeah," said Nintai as she sat in Lee's lap with Icha Icha Paradise in her hands. Where she got that… no one knows. "I think that who ever is a ninja and old enough to kill should be allowed to drink."
Shibi took this thought into consideration before getting up and moving to the bar. He whispered something to the bartender then grabbed a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said Shibi and the entire place went quiet. "We have a philosophy here that 'If you are a ninja and are old enough to kill someone… then you are old enough to drink.' So drinks all around!!"
The people cheered and started ordering drinks. Shibi came back with several bottles of sake and 22 glasses. "Here we go kids," he said.
They all clapped except for Kira, Gaara, and Nintai who still had her nose stuck in the book.
"Hey Kira, are you gonna do karaoke with us or not?" asked Mika.
"No," said the blonde stubbornly. Mika smirked and whispered to Kiba.
"Don't worry, we can get her to sing. All we have to do is put a little sake in her drink and…" Mika couldn't finish as this happened.
"NOO!! Who would be so cruel as to steal my Icha Icha Paradise," yelled a man who was all too familiar to the former genins. Kakashi was sitting in the middle of the dance floor crying his eyes out with Gai and Anko standing behind him shaking their heads.
"My arch rival… this is embarrassing," said Gai.
"Kakashi… who of all people would be able to steal your book from under your nose while you're reading it?" said Anko.
Kakashi's head slowly turned to the side. "NINTAI!!"
Gai seemed to perk up. "Nintai? Where?"
"GAI-NII-SAN!" yelled Nintai as she stood up.
"NINTAI-CHAN!" replied who ran over to Nintai and they started wrestling on the ground.
Everyone laughed as Nintai pinned Gai to the ground and hog-tied him. Nintai sat on Gai's back smirking and laughing evilly.
"Ah! You have defeated me once again Captain and I must say," big anime tears started to fall down Gai's face, "I am so proud to be humiliated by you!"
Nintai laughed. "Why thank you. Oh and Anko-chan, here's a present for you," said Nintai as she got up off of Gai. Anko looked from side to side then picked up Gai, threw him over her shoulder and disappeared somewhere in the crowd.
"Where are they going?" asked Sakura.
"Don't worry they'll be back," said Nintai as she sat down in Lee's lap again and started to read with Kakashi sitting beside her reading over her shoulder.
"How do you know them?" asked Neji.
Nintai smirked not looking up from the book. "They're my ANBU team. I am they're captain."
"Oh…" said Neji.
Lee just sat there like 'What the hell?'. Nintai and Kakashi giggle and blush as something in the book. Lee, being curious, took a peek over their shoulder and instant nose bleed.
"Jiraiya has really out done himself this time," said Kakashi.
Kiba looked at Mika. "So what were saying?"
Mika leaned over and whispered something in his ear making him raise a brow.
Sure that'll work?" he asked.
"Oh yes… works every time," replied Mika as she kissed his cheek then got up and whispered something to Gaara. He just raised an invisible brow at her and nodded. Mika clapped her hands and went over to the DJ to request a slow song, which he eventually started to play.
Gaara got up and grabbed Kira's hand as he led her onto the dance floor. (The song is Don't Matter by Akon) Kira rested her arms on Gaara's shoulders as he placed his hands on her hips. The two of them started to slowly dance in circles.
When Kira's back was turned Mika looked at Ichigo. "Do it now Ichigo," said Mika as she looked at the red haired girl.
Ichigo grabbed Kira's soda and began to pour some sake into the glass before putting it down quickly. People looked at the two of them confused with the twins, Mika, and Kiba just smirked.
Kira smiled softly as she rested her head on Gaara's shoulders and gripped him tighter. Gaara wrapped his arms firmly around her waist and held her close to him as he took in her perfume.
"Oh! Is Kira smiling?" asked Momoko, Everyone looked at Kira and Gaara. When Kira saw the look on her sisters' faces she immediately dropped her smile.
"Oh, smiles gone," said Mika as the Takashi girls laughed. Kira smiled at her sisters and hid her face in Gaara's chest.
"So what's the story between those two?" asked Nintai as she handed Icha Icha Paradise back to Kakashi who was more than happy to have his precious back.
"They've been friends since they were real little," said Momoko as she took a sip of soda.
Gaara and Kira came back and sat down. A light blush covered Kira's cheeks as she sat beside Gaara.
"Aw, you two looked so cute," smiled Sakura making the two of them flush and turn their heads away.
"Come dance with me Shino," she said as she tugged on him gently.
"I don't dance," said Shino as he pried his arm away from his fiancée. Ichigo pouted at him as tears welled in her eyes making Shino feel guilty. "Please don't cry Ichigo, I just don't dance."
"Sure you do son, here give me your arm," said Shibi who grabbed Shino's arm and started to make him disco. Shino jerked his arm away from his dad and stood.
He grabbed Ichigo's hand. "Let's go," he said and led her to the dance floor. Ichigo was beaming happily and winked at Shibi. Everyone laughed when,
"NO LEE!" everyone looked over to Lee only to see Neji and Tenten trying to get some sake away from Lee.
"Aw come on, just let him have some," said Naruto.
"NO!" yelled Neji and Tenten.
"Oh come on guys, I've learned to keep control of it," said Lee as he took a swig.
"I don't see what the problem is," said Nintai and the Sand ninja's agreed.
"You've never seen Lee's Drunken Fist Taijutsu, have you?" said Tenten.
Nintai went starry eyed as she stared at Lee. "You know Drunken Fist Taijutsu?" she asked.
Lee nodded and was already a little tipsy from the one shot. "Master at it," he said.
Nintai hugged him. "I love you," she said just as Anko and Gai returned, Gai looking all disheveled. Gai having heard what Nintai said looked at his favorite student with his eyebrows raised.
"Lee?" said Gai. Lee looked at his former sensei. "She's a keeper." Gai pointed to Nintai who grinned and Gai did the nice guy pose. Lee blushed.
"Anko, have fun?" said Nintai as she grinned evilly.
Anko mimicked the evil grin. "Oh yea," she said and it was Gai's turn to blush. Some people sweat dropped but Kakashi was clueless.
He looked between Anko, Gai, and Nintai. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Nothing Kaka-sensei," said Sakura.
"To put it simply, Anko just molested your best friend, and he enjoyed every second of it," said Nintai. Gai then passed out do to sheer embarrassment. Nintai laughed and prodded Gai with her foot. "Oh come on Gai-nii-san you know we have to spell it out for Kakashi. He is that clueless."
Gai didn't respond as he was still out cold.
"Hm... Um... Anko, cough I think you need to tend to Gai's needs," said Nintai. Anko grinned but Gai sat up immediately.
"No! That's okay, I'm fine," said Gai.
"Aw, did Anko-chan wear you out, Gai-nii-san?"
Anko sighed and stretched out wrapping an arm around Gai as they sat down. "Ah, yep."
Neji shook his head and put his face in his hand. "Oh my god. It's just like Shibi said," he said. All the boys groaned and placed their faces in their hands.
Mika looked around at all the boys then looked at Kiba. "What did Shibi talked to you about?" she asked slightly clueless.
Kiba just shook his head and kissed her cheek. "Nothing, don't worry about it."
This whole time Lee just sat there looking dumbstruck and slightly confused.
Momoko elbowed her sisters in the side and told them to look at Kira who was about to take a sip of her drink.
"Kira come sing with us," said Mika.
"No," said Kira once again and took a large gulp of her drink. The girls giggled when Kira's eyes went wide and she almost fell out of her seat if it wasn't for Gaara who caught her.
"Please Kira you have to sing with us," whined Momoko.
"Alright," replied the eldest sister calmly.
The sisters cheered while Momoko and Ichigo dragged Kira off to the Karaoke stand. Mika wrapped her arms around Kiba from behind.
"Told you it would work," she said as she blew lightly on his ear making chills run down his spine. Mika smiled and went up to the karaoke stand with her sisters. Together they chose a song.
They girls took their places on the stage as the music started. (Song: Cinderella from The Cheetah Girls)
Everyone watched as the girls sang. What amazed them the most was that the girls didn't have to look at the Karaoke screen and they seemed to have the dance choreographed.
After the song three of the girls came back to the table and sat down.
"Where's Kira?" asked Sakura. Everyone looked back up to the stage to see Kira talking to the DJ about singing another song. The DJ nodded and allowed her to choose a song.
"What do you think she's planning on singing?" asked Hinata.
"Don't know," replied Naruto.
"I have an idea. Mika stop her," said Ichigo. Mika jumped up but was then soon after held down by Kiba.
"Let her sing," he said.
"No Kiba, you don't understand. If she sings 'that' song we have to stop her," retorted Mika as she tried to get away.
Everyone gave Mika confused looks.
"Nintai can you stop her?" asked Momoko.
"Nerp, I vant to vatch," Nintai laughed.
"Man that's annoying," muttered Kakashi.
"Und zat's przizely vye I dooze zit, Kaka-chan." Nintai grinned and Kakashi glared.
"Ichigo, I you want to stop her, then why ask Mika. Why can't you?" asked Shino.
Ichigo sweat dropped. "Um… cause Mika's the only one strong enough… or close to it anyway to get Kira." Ichigo hid her face after that in Shino's shoulder, which made him raise a brow.
Everyone looked over to the stage as music started and Kira started singing. As Kira started humming the first part of the song she kept her eyes on the ground and looked… sad. Gaara saw this look on her face and made him think of yesterday morning.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
Gaara got up from his seat and everyone watched as he walked close to the stage and just stared at Kira. Nintai watched carefully at the emotions in Kira's eyes. Sadness and hurt clearly played across the girl's eyes like an open book. Kira never fought her emotions while singing instead she let her emotions go. It was her escape from all the pain.
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Gaara stared at the girl that he had loved since childhood as tears started to fall from her eyes and down her cheeks. What had happened to make her hurt so much? The only time he had ever since her cry was the day they were separated.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you
Kira placed the microphone back on the stand and sunk down to the stage where Gaara pulled her off. The blonde clung to the front of his shirt as her body racked with sobs. Gaara held onto her and led her back over to the table and sat down in the booth. Kira didn't look at anyone as she continued to cry in Gaara's chest.
Mika sighed and laid her head on Kiba's shoulder. "Told you it was a bad idea," she said lightly.
Everyone watched as the sisters' moods changed and they all seemed to be a little depressed. Nintai sat there racking her brain for an answer.
Shibi cleared his throat. "Well, why don't we all just forget this happened. Oh, and Shino."
The boy looked at his father and raised a brow in question.
"I want you and Ichigo to come stay at our manor tonight," smiled Shibi.
"And you two will be sharing a room," continued Shino's mother. Ichigo giggled and snuggled closer to Shino the boy in question just sighed. He knew that this was going to be a bad idea considering Ichigo has already had several shots of sake and was a little tipsy.
After several hours of laughing and having some fun the group felt that it was time to go home. The reason for that… Kira had been slipped some more sake and was currently trying to make out with Nintai but the two kept getting pulled apart by Gaara and Lee.
Sakura had left hours ago having to rush to the hospital, another emergency call which Ino had also been dragged along cause they needed all available medics. Hinata couldn't go cause she had way too much to drink and was trying to rape Naruto. (0.o HINATA!!)
Mika was sound asleep on the bench seat with her head on Kiba's lap. Ichigo was in the process of getting Shino to take his coat off with little luck. Neji had dragged Tenten off about an hour ago and no one had seen them since. Kankuro had left shortly after Ino did and went straight home as far as everyone knew.
Anko had disappeared with Gai several hours ago and Kakashi had left not even an hour ago.
Kiba stretched his arms above his head and gently shook Mika's shoulder. "Mika, babe, it's time to go," he spoke softly. The girl just moaned and waved a hand at him. Kiba chuckled softly and picked her up bridal style. Her arms immediately went around his neck and he rested her head on his shoulder. Kiba looked over to Naruto who looked like he was having trouble getting his girlfriend to keep her hands to herself.
"Having trouble Naruto?" laughed Kiba.
Naruto just glared at the boy and took his example and picked Hinata up bridal.
Shibi patted his son on the shoulder. "Why don't you take Ichigo home?" he said.
Shino nodded but Ichigo whined. "But Daddy, me no want to go," she whined. Shibi just laughed and patted her on the head.
Everyone left the bar and headed their separate ways, well mostly.
Shino took Ichigo back to his parents placed and allowed her to wear one of his long shirts to bed before crawling in beside her. The moment he laid down, Ichigo immediately scooted closer to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Shino placed his sunglasses on the bedside table before wrapping his arms around her and going to sleep.
When everyone else arrived at the mansion they all went to their bedrooms. Gaara dragged Kira to his room for he didn't want to leave her by herself in fear she'd go and try and rape Nintai and vise versa for Lee.
Kiba took Mika to her room and sat her on her bed. By this time she was wide awake but continued to let Kiba carry her cause she was comfy. Kiba kissed her forehead and existed the room. Mika yanwed and got into her pajama's which was just a tank top and her underwear and climbed under the sheets.
She lay there for a half hour trying to get to sleep but all she managed to do was twist on turn.
"What's wrong with me? I was sleeping perfectly earlier. I feel like something is missing," she said Kytanna who was lying on the bed beside her, Naku curled up by her side.
Kytanna barked softly. "That's because something is missing," was the translation.
"Really? What Kytanna?" questioned Mika.
Kytanna barked softly again. "Kiba."
"Kiba? Don't be ridiculous Kytanna. How can Kiba be missing he's just down the hall."
"Why do you think you've been sleeping real well since you've met him or when ever the two of you take a nap together. You two are connected like, say, soul mates."
"You can't really believe in that can you?" asked Mika.
"Actually I do. I mean look at Akamaru and I. I'd be with him now if I wasn't in here with you. Just think about your feelings for Kiba and how close you two have become in such a short time."
Mika looked up at the ceiling. Kytanna did have a point. Her and Kiba did grow close over the past two days and she did miss him already. Throwing the covers off her as they landed on Kytanna's head, much to her dismay, Mika got out of bed and walked out of her room. Kytanna grabbed Naku in her mouth and followed. Mika walked all the way to Kiba's room and knocked softly.
"Come in," came Kiba's voice. Mika opened the door slightly only to have Kytanna brush past her and go lay by Akamaru, placing Naku at the males paws. Mika looked over at Kiba who was sitting on his bed with the light on.
"You couldn't sleep either?" she asked.
Kiba shook his head. "No, you?" Mika shook her head. Kiba smiled at her and moved some of his sheets aside and patted the spot beside him. Mika walked in and shut the door before quickly running over to the bed and jumping in beside Kiba and snuggling under the sheets. She looked up at him with innocent eyes.
Kiba smiled at her and turned the light off before snuggling beside her. After ten minutes of silent bliss Kiba spoke.
"You're not wearing pants," he said bluntly and the laughed. Shortly after the two fell asleep.
At about two in the morning Ino and Sakura entered the mansion and headed to their rooms. Ino went straight to Kankuro's room and crawled in beside him. Sakura went to her own room and stared at a picture of Sasuke and her. It was a picture of the two of them on a mission while they were still on team seven. Sakura was trying to get Sasuke to eat something she made which he gladly opened his mouth up for and that's when Kakashi took the picture. Sakura smiled before getting into her pajama's and going to sleep. Her dream that night was one that occurred quiet often.
AN: Okay I don't think I mentioned this in the last chapter but the songs that I used for the last two chapters were: The Bad touch by The bloodhound gang, Don't Matter by Akon, Cinderella by the Cheetah girls, and Because of You by Kelly Clarkson.
Okay here is the new chapter.
Chapter 9 Sakura's Dream
Sakura walked down the sidewalk. When she looked up she saw Sasuke. Sasuke stopped and looked at her.
"What are you doing? Wondering around here at night?"
Sakura looked at the ground. "Because in order to get out of the village, you have to take this road."
Sasuke starts to walk past her. "Go home and sleep."
Sasuke passed her without another word. A tear ran down Sakura's cheek.
"Why?" she asked as she turned to him. "Why won't you tell me anything? Why do you always stay silent? Why won't you say anything to me?
Sasuke stopped. "Why do I have to tell you anything?"
Sakura watched him as tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
"It's none of your business. Stop concerning yourself about what I do," said Sasuke.
Sakura looks down as a small smile comes to her lips. "You've… always hated me, huh?" She looked back up at him. "Do you remember… the day we became genin and when our three member team was first chosen? The day you and I were here alone, you got mad at me, remember?" There was silence as she smiled.
"I don't remember," stated Sasuke.
Sakura's smile vanished and she started to sob a little. "Makes sense. That's something that happened a while back. But that's the day when everything started… you and I… and also Naruto and Kakashi-sensei. The four of us completed a number of missions together. They were tough and a lot of work, but… above all… it was fun! I know about your clan, but revenge… That won't make anyone happy. No one. Neither you nor I."
"Just as I thought," said Sasuke and Sakura looked at him, "I'm different from you guys. I walk a different path than you guys. I tried to think that it was my path to do things we've done up until now. The four of us did things together, but my heart decided on revenge in the end. That's my purpose in life. I can't become like you or Naruto."
"Are you going to choose to be alone again?" asked Sakura as she took a step toward him. "On that day, you taught me that solitude is painful. I understand that so well right now. I have a family and I have friends but if you're gone…" she took another step closer, "to me… it'll be the same as being alone."
"From here on… a new path will open for all of us," spoke Sasuke softly.
Sakura took another step forward. "I…! I love you so much! If you stay with me, I'll make sure you won't regret it! Everyday will be fun. We'll definitely be happy. I'll do anything for you. So… please! Stay here." Sakura was now crying in hysterics. "I'll help you with your revenge. I'll do something! So please stay here… with me! If you can't stay, take me with you." Sakura sobbed.
Sasuke turned to her with a smile/smirk on his face. "You really are annoying," he said. Sakura gasped at him as Sasuke turned back and started walking again.
"Don't Leave!" screamed Sakura. She ran after him. "If you do, I'll scream!"
Sasuke disappeared then reappeared behind her. "Sakura," he said softly as he stood really close to her back. "Thank you." Sasuke hit the pressure point on the back of her neck making the girl fall unconscious. He then placed her on the stone bench near by.
'Sasuke-kun,' was Sakura's last thought before she was over come with complete darkness.

"SASUKE!" yelled Sakura as she woke up in a cold sweat. Her scream traveled through the entire mansion.

Far away from the village of Konoha, somewhere in Rice Country, Uchiha Sasuke also woke up in a cold sweat. He had that dream again, of the night where he left Sakura on that cold stone bench. The night where he left his home to gain more power in order to defeat his brother. The night where Sakura, had spilled her heart out to him and all he did was say thank you, before leaving her forever.
Sasuke buried his face in his knees as tears threatened to over come him. He shook his head trying to block out the thoughts but they wouldn't leave. All he could imagine was Sakura's tear stained face as she told him how much she loved him and that she would do anything for him. He sighed and looked out the window.
"I'm sorry Sakura," he whispered, "but I had to leave. I can't come back till I defeat my brother."
Getting up from his bed Sasuke went to the top drawer of his dresser and pulled out a tiny box. He opened it revealing a pink diamond set in a white gold band.
"I promise, Sakura," he said quietly. "When I get back, if they'll let me come back, I'll make it up to you." Sasuke gripped the box tightly in his hand and went back to his bed to sit down.
He looked back out at the moon, which was the soft harvest color as Sakura's smiling face came to his thoughts. He smiled gently as he closed his eyes and remembered all the times he had spent with her and their team.
All throughout school he had always thought of Sakura as annoying but as time went on and he was placed on a team with her that thought soon vanished. He would see how much she did care for him and in turn she would become the most precious thing to him. That is why he had to leave.
He had to leave to protect her. If his brother were to find out about his feelings for Sakura... who knows what he could do to her. He wanted to protect Sakura from his brother, make sure that Itachi could never get near her or his friends.
Getting to his feet again he quickly shuffled his way over to his desk and took out a scroll and a pen. He quickly wrote coordinates and other important information down before rolling it up. Sasuke went back over to his dresser and quickly dressed before hiding the ring somewhere back in the drawer. Moving over to the corner of the room he grabbed his sword and placed it in the back of that purple rope he kept around his waist. Grabbing the scroll Sasuke disappeared in a puff of smoke and appeared again at least 3 miles from Orochimaru's hide out.
Putting his fingers to his mouth, Sasuke let out a whistle and while he was waiting he took out a piece of paper and wrote a quick note on it then stuffed it into the scroll. Five minutes later a large hawk appeared before Sasuke. The boy held out the hand, holding the scroll, and spoke to the bird.
"Take this to the village of Konoha and make it quick. Give it to no one but the Hokage herself. If anyone tries to intercept them, kill them if you must, unless they are a leaf ninja then don't touch them," Sasuke sighed. "I'm ready to go home." The boy watched as the bird took flight and looked at the moon again.
"Soon, Sakura, soon we can be together." Sasuke smiled then disappeared again into the night.
After Sakura's startling scream in the middle of the night everyone had gone back to bed. Now it was early morning and… people were still asleep seeing as how most had too much to drink last night. The only people who were really up at 8 o'clock that morning was Momoko, Gaara, Naruto and Kankuro. Naruto stretched his arms out above his head and yawned.
Gaara looked at him. "Why are you up so early?" he asked.
Naruto made a sleepy glare. "Hinata kicked me out of the bed," groaned Naruto as he snuggled to his pillow.
Gaara sweat dropped.
"Hinata-chan is scary when she has a hangover," mumbled Naruto, so low that Gaara would have missed it if wasn't for the youkai. The demon in question was laughing at the state in which the kyuubi host was in.
It wasn't until 10 o'clock when people started waking up. Kiba came down with Mika at his side, who was wearing a pair of his pants cause she didn't want to have to run down the hall to her room. Ino came down and snuggled to Kankuro while Hinata nearly fell down the stairs if it wasn't for Naruto's quick reflexes. The fore mentioned reflexes being he grabbed a trashcan as she puked before she kicked him out of the bedroom.
Sakura had dragged herself down stairs with Nintai and Lee about 10:30. Shortly after them were Shikamaru and Neji as well as Temari and Tenten. The only people who didn't come down stairs were Kira and Choji, who came barreling down the stairs as soon as Momoko yelled breakfast, but Kira still had yet to come down.
Gaara got up from the couch and started to make his way up the stairs.
"Where are you going Gaara?" asked his older brother. Gaara just looked at Kankuro for a minute before continuing his way upstairs. He made his way to his room, which was the largest bedroom in the entire mansion seeing as how he was the Kazkeage. Opening the door he looked into see Kira lying in bed but she was fully awake. She was staring at the wall not blinking. Gaara walked into the room and shut the door behind him. Walking over to the bed he lay down beside her and pulled the girl into his arms.
"Kira?" he said softly and he placed his nose in the back of her neck. She didn't say anything but just gripped his hands tightly in hers as if afraid.
Gaara could feel Shukaku moving around in his mind.
Gaara! What are you doing? Just don't hold the female. Take her. Make her our mate, whined Shukaku in Gaara's mind.
Will you shut up Shukaku. Kira's upset, Gaara snapped back at him.
Well you better do something eventually cause I'm turning blue back here. After that the tanuki went silent.
Pervert. Shukaku didn't reply to Gaara's comment.
Gaara looked down at Kira then sat her up and put her in his lap. Kira just clung to the front of his robes. Gaara placed a hand on her head, kissing her temple. "You want to tell me what's wrong?" he asked.
Kira just shook her head and buried her face in his chest.
"Are you going come down for breakfast?" asked Gaara.
Again Kira shook her head. "I'm not hungry," she said. Her voice sounded like a strangled cry.
"Oh Kira, what's happened to you?' thought Gaara as he laid her back down. He covered her up with the sheets and made her look at him. Kira's eyes held a sadness he had never seen before. She was troubled and he was determined to find out what was wrong with her. Gaara leaned forward and pressed his lips against Kira's. Kira kissed back lightly then watched as Gaara left the room. Gaara went back downstairs and headed into the dinning room.
"Hey everything okay?" asked Naruto as he stuffed a pancake into his mouth. Gaara nodded.
"Where's Kira?" asked Nintai.
Gaara looked at her. "Still sleeping. She had a little too much to drink last night and she hasn't been sleeping well the past couple of nights so I'm just gonna let her sleep."
Nintai nodded.
A hawk fly through the sky and landed on the window sill of the window sill of the Hokage's office. Tsunade looked out her window. Seeing the hawk she got up from her seat and grabbed the message back that was on its back. Unsealing the scroll she opened it only to see a note fall out of it. Picking it up she noticed that it said To: Haruno Sakura of Konoha. Setting it aside she looked at the scroll and read what it said. Her eyes went wide at who it was from and quickly grabbed Sakura's not and red it quickly. She slammed it back down on the table.
"Shizune," she turned to her assistant. "We have to talk to Naruto and the others immediately but first summon the council members. Do it now."
Shizune nodded. "Yes Tsunade-sama," she said as she ran from the room. Tsunade looked out the window.
'Uchiha,' she thought.
AN: Okay this is the last of the making story a little shorter. I hope this makes it easier for everyone. Well g2g ENJOY!
