HEY!

Man, I haven't updated for, like, ages. Sorry for that, folks!
Anyway, hope you'll enjoy!

And thanks for the reviews, really much!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the other things that I might mention that are completely obviously not mine (like movies, songs, etc.).

Warnings: Akatsuki bashing. Lots of Akatsuki bashing.

Ninth chapter: Movie time!

"Huh?" I and Temari asked at the same time.

"Hii, guys", Ino said, smiling a fake sweet smile at the guys, who looked a little confused. "We have a little… girltalk to do, so if we could get a minute? Thanks!" She somehow managed to push out all the seven of them at the same time on her own. She slammed the door in their faces and turned to face Temari and me, looking pretty angry.

"Why the hell did you bring them here?" she asked in a furious hiss. I and Temari blinked.

"What do you mean?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sakura, Ino and Hinata all sighed exasperatedly, and Hinata was just about to reply, when Temari let out an understanding "Ooh!"
I looked at her quizzically. She grinned at me, seeming to forget the three others for a moment.

"You remember last night, when we came back?" she asked. I nodded slowly, wondering what she was getting at. "Well, do you remember when Shikamaru appeared? And Naruto? And what Sakura said to Sasuke?" I furrowed my eyebrows, confused.

"N-", I started, but then it dawned to me, and a grin slowly spread over my face, "yes…" I finished, now grinning mischievously. Temari grinned also.

"Well, I told them what they had said", she said, giggling. "You should've seen their faces! They were blushing so badly that you could fry eggs on their cheeks!"

The two of us started laughing, until, of course, Sakura smacked us both hard on the head. Man, that girl's strong!

"Owww…" I whined. "Sakuraaa, it's not that bad."

"Yes it is, dammit!" she hissed in a way similar to Ino's. "I told Sasuke that… that… he's hotter than his brother! That's bad!"

"Yeah, you're right", Ino said, pointing at Sakura and putting her other hand on her hip, widening her eyes. "Anyone could tell Itachi's way hotter. Even though Sasuke is pretty hunky too."

"Eww, Ino, you're so… Eww!" I yelled. "I could never talk like that without throwing up!" Ino grinned.

"Yeah, I'm a genius in that way!" she said happily.

"Anyway, that wasn't what I meant!" Sakura said angrily. "When I've said something like that to him, I can't even look at him anymore! That so destroyed my pride!"

"Yeah, now everybody thinks you have terrible taste", Ino said, nodding knowingly. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sasuke isn't hot, I'm just saying that Itachi's hotter." Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Ino, even if you might be, I'm not stupid when I'm drunk", she said. "I'm saying what I'm meaning, even if I don't mean to say it."

"So you think Sasuke's hotter?" Ino asked, raising an unbelieving eyebrow.

"Of course", Sakura replied. Now it was Ino's turn to roll her eyes.

"Puh-lease, Sakura", she said. "Everyone knows Itachi's hotter. Sasuke's more like… cute. Guess it's because he's younger, or something. But Itachi's hotter, that's a fact."

"No it's not, you idiot", Sakura said, sounding annoyed. "Everybody who has the least bit sense knows that Sasuke's hotter. He's both cute and hot, so suck that."

"Sakura, seriously", Ino said. "Have you seen the abs on his bro?"

"No", Sakura said, raising an eyebrow. Ino was silent for a moment.

"Well, you should", she then said, giggling. I and Temari stared at the blonde with wide eyes.

"Don't worry, you two", Hinata said, sighing. "Ino has a habit of spying on men she thinks looks good when she has nothing better to do. She also somehow managed to get a camera into the boys' locker-room."

"Oh-kay…" I and Temari said slowly, while Sakura rolled her eyes, Hinata looked pretty bored and Ino giggled.

Suddenly we heard a knock on the door.

"Are you ready yet?" Naruto's voice called. "It's getting tiresome to wait!"

"Yeah, sure, come on in!" I called back. "Ino and Sakura are just arguing who's hotter, Itachi or Sasuke!"

It was worth it. It hurt – much so – but seeing their faces was definitely worth it.

Eight minutes and forty-three seconds' time-skip

Third person POV

"Uh, Sakura-chan, Ino-chan", Hinata said, poking Tenten in the cheek. "Wasn't that a bit much?"

"Hah!" Sakura said, folding her arms over her chest and putting her nose in the air arrogantly. "That's what you get when you mess with us!"

"Uh, Sakura", Ino said. "I was just insulting her, plus hitting her a few times. You were the one doing the damage." Sakura just rolled her eyes.
Temari walked over to the brunette's unconscious form.

"Tenten?" she asked, kneeling down next to her and nudging her a little. "Tenten, are you okay?"

"Should we take her to Shizune-san?" Hinata asked, looking up at the four-tailed blonde anxiously.

"Maybe…" Temari answered, furrowing her eyebrows at the brunette on the floor. Sakura sighed exasperatedly, unfolded her arms and walked over to Tenten.

"Oh, c'mon, Tenten!" she said, annoyed. "Get up! Take it like a woman!" The brunette let out a growl and turned to her side. All four looked down at her for a few minutes, before another groan was heard, followed by a tired:

"Why can't you feed the pig on your own, Kasumi? It's you husband…"

Stare.
Twitch.
Frustrated scream.

THUMP!

"Owww!" Tenten started rolling around the floor, clutching her head. "Sakura, dammit! Didn't I tell you to stop that?!"

"It wasn't me", the pinkette said in a weak voice. She was staring at Hinata, wide-eyed.
The blue-haired girl was fuming, and her fist was raised.

"God, you can be annoying, Tenten!" she yelled.

It was silent for a few seconds.

Then they all started laughing like maniacs.

Outside

"What are they doing, Naruto?" Kiba asked, raising an eyebrow. The blonde boy was pressing his ear against the door with a confused expression.

"Well, it sounded like there was some kinda fight first", he began unsurely, "then someone, I think Tenten, was hurt, and then someone talked about a pig's wife, and then someone hit someone and then someone – I think Hina-chan – called someone annoying and then they started laughing."

Blink.

"Okay…" was the guys' slow reply.

Inside

…And since Tenten's conscious now, I guess it's in her POV, too.

"Geez, we're crazy", I said while wiping away few laugh-tears from my eyes.

"Hell yeah!" Temari laughed.

"Hey, should we let the guys in now?" Ino then suddenly asked, raising an eyebrow. The rest of us looked at each other for a moment.

Then Temari, Hinata and Sakura said in unison:

"Naah."

"No, we have to!" I exclaimed. "I have something to show 'em!"

"Too bad", Temari yawned. "I don't feel like dealing with my friends' romances problems tonight." Hinata, Sakura and Ino glared at her suspiciously.

"What are you implying?" the pinkette asked threateningly.

"Nothing, nothing at all..." the blonde said, looking away innocently.

"Oh, c'mon, guys!" I whined. "You're gonna laugh your asses off for sure! And I need to show it at least to Sasuke, too!" Temari suddenly froze, before she slowly looked up at me.

"Nooo…" she said, a grin spreading over her face. I smirked and nodded. "That was what you took with you?" she asked. I nodded again. Temari squealed, causing everyone but me to look at her weirdly. I had expected that reaction, see.

"You're truly evil, Tenten!" she laughed.

"Thank you", I said, now grinning mischievously. "Well, I'm gonna let the guys in."

"Wait a minute, before you do that!" Temari suddenly called. I looked at her over my shoulder. "I think there's something Ino and especially Hinata would love to hear about." She was smirking now, in a manner that I did not like.

"Um… and that would be?" I asked nervously. Her smirk widened as she turned to the rest of the girls.

"Today", she began in a formal tone, before she paused dramatically, "Neji took Tenten out for lunch." I raised an eyebrow.

"What about-"I began, and then I saw the dropped jaws and widened eyes of the three others, "…that?"

"OH ME GOD!" I covered my ears, wincing at the loud noise.

"Oh my god!" Ino exclaimed, jumping up and down, clapping her hands. "Oh my god! I've always thought you two are a totally great couple!" I furrowed my eyebrows, confused. Couple?

"That was fast, Panda!" Sakura exclaimed, punching me in the back. "You've known each other for, what, a week? But I guess you fit."

"This is great, Tennie-chan!" Hinata squealed and hugged me. Then she gasped. "Someday we might be like sisters in law!" That caused another squealing session from the girls, even Sakura. That was going to surprise me when I got over the surprise and confusion that I was in already.

Temari sat on one of the beds, grinning. I turned to her with a raised eyebrow, folding my arms and waiting for an explanation. It took a moment for her to realize I was watching her.

"Oh, c'mon, Panda-chan", she said impatiently. "You would've had to tell them soon enough anyway."

"That I was on lunch with my roommate?" I asked, still with the same expression.

"Roommate and boyfriend, apparently", Temari said casually, turning back to watching the squealing and jumping girls again.

"Pardon?" I asked politely, sure that I had heard wrong. She looked at me again.

"Roommate and boyfriend, apparently", she repeated slowly.
Blink.
Blink.
Blink.

Then:

"WHAT?!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Ooh", Temari said. "Sorry." She grinned sheepishly. I glowered at her.

I had just explained that there was absolutely nothing expect friendship going on between me and Neji. The fact seemed to have depressed both Ino and Hinata, though (Sakura and Temari had just shrugged it off).

"I thought we were going to be sisters in law…" Hinata muttered while doing something very OOC: pouting.

"And I thought I'd finally gotten something to gossip about", Ino said, sulking. I just rolled my eyes and got up from the floor I had been sitting on. I walked over to the door to let the guys in. When I opened it I was met by the last scene I was expecting:
The guys were pressing Neji against the wall while glaring at him very suspiciously. He looked very irritated as he tried to explain something for the hundredth time, it seemed.

"Yo, guys", I said. "What're ya doing?" They all turned to look at me (except for Neji, of course, since he was already facing me).

"Oh, hi, Tenten", Naruto said awkwardly. I raised an eyebrow at them. "We- um… we're not doing anything?"
Wow. That kid's a baaad liar. Even worse than me.

"Okay…" I said slowly, turning back to the room. "Well, are you coming?" I could hear them glaring at Neji suspiciously one last time before they followed me.

Shikamaru, who was the last to enter, closed the door behind them, and the guys then stopped awkwardly somewhere by the door, seeming unsure where to go. This entertained all the five of us girls, and we grinned at each other.

"Anyway, what are we gonna watch?" Sakura asked after a moment of silence. I and Temari grinned at each other.

"Well, I and Temari had this little idea", I began slowly, all the while grinning, "that we could start with a short little… comedy." I held up the tape I had taken from my purse before I had exited my bedroom. Temari bit her lip so she wouldn't start laughing.

I didn't wait for anyone to say anything; I just walked over to the oversized TV (much like the one in our room) and put the tape in the player. I grabbed the remote-control and backed over to the bed nearest to the TV while pointing the remote-control at the player.

"I assure you will find it very entertaining", I promised them in a formal tone. Temari grinned and bounced down next to me, putting her legs in a meditation-position and gluing her eyes to the TV-screen.

Everyone else just shrugged and took a seat: Hinata sat down in-front of the bed I was sitting on, putting her legs in the same position as Temari and watching the screen with polite curiosity. Naruto sat down next to her, also watching the TV curiously. Neji sat down behind me on the bed, leaning against the wall behind it casually. Kiba came and sat beside him in the same position (putting his feet out in-front of him and his hands behind his head).
Sasuke, Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru went to sit on the bed next to ours. They were sitting in a way similar to ours - guys in the back leaning against the wall and girls in the front in cross-legged meditation-positions.

In between the two beds sat Lee and Shino. They were talking casually (or, well, Lee was talking to Shino not-so casually).

"Everybody ready?" I asked, raising the remote-control to point at the player, my coolness disappearing the tiniest bit and a wide grin spreading across my face.

"Sure", a few replied. I glanced at Temari and we grinned at each other.
Then I pushed 'play'.

"We're at the club The Hell of Leaf", Kisame said formally to the camera. "We are just about to interview a few of the owners and guests."

"Wait", Sasuke said, "you know them?"

"Yeah, we were to their club last night", I said without turning away from the screen.

"First up is the only female owner of the club, Konan", Kisame continued, walking over to the circle of couches we had been sitting in (they had started filming just by the entrance of the club).
"Konan is a very extraordinary person. She is very calm and cool, and very, deadly dangerous. It is surprising that someone so collected can be so violent and homicidal. Not to mention that she's smoking hot, but don't say that to Pein if you wanna stay alive. Now, here we are." He stopped next to one of the couches, the one who Konan was sitting on. She was currently sipping her drink casually. Tobi was snoring with his head on the table opposite of her.

"Konan", Kisame said professionally, "why do you recon this club is so popular?" Konan glanced up at him.

"Kisame, Deidara, what the hell have you come up with now?" she asked in a dejected tone. "A camera? Seriously?"

"Just answer the question", Kisame said impatiently. Konan rolled her eyes.

"Fine, I'll play along", she muttered, then looked thoughtful. "Hmm… Maybe it has something to do with the pretty noticeable look of the building or simply because we owners are so popular?"

"Ah", Kisame said. "Now, a few of our viewers have been interested in some of your personal business. Do you mind if I ask?"

"Viewers?" Konan asked, raising an eyebrow. "What is this, some kind of roll-playing game? Are you five, or something?" Kisame glowered at her.

"You said you were going to play along!" he exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at the woman. She rolled her eyes again.

"No, I don't mind", she sighed. "Go ahead." Kisame grinned.

"What is the relationship between you and Pein?" he asked. Konan choked on her drink.

"Why you little-!" she yelled. "I've toldyou to stop doing that! There is nothing going on between us!"

"Yes, yes", Kisame sighed. "Well, if you don't have anything more interesting, we'll move ahead."

Konan glared at him once more before kicking Tobi awake and forcing him to another drinking-contest.

"Kisame, why do I have to be behind the camera?" Deidara asked as the two men were walking forward against a table a few meters away.

"Because you're too ugly to be in-front of it", the shark-man replied.

"And you're not, you stupid little fish?" the blonde asked in a very threatening tone.

"No", was the simple answer, and before a retort could be made a loud voice was heard:

"Yes! HAH! In your face, Pein! I beat cha!"

Everyone turned around and saw Hinata standing there with a half-filled glass raised triumphantly in her right hand and Pein sitting on a chair in-front of her with his head on the table in-between them.

"Way to go, Hina-chan!" Sakura yelled, leaping away toward the blue-haired girl.

"Oh! You're done too, Saku-chan?" Hinata asked, grinning.

"Yeah!" Sakura replied. "I beat the guy over there!" She pointed at a random guy who laid on the floor a couple of tables away.

"Woah!" Hinata said. "He's big!"

"Uh-huh, but I am the best, too!" Sakura said, crossing her arms over her chest with a smug expression.

"HAH! Who's a newbie now, huh?! HUH?!"

My voice was heard over the cheers, laughs and shouts of the people around. The camera turned to me. I had kicked my feet up on the table in-between me and Hidan; I was holding an empty glass, leaning back on the chair and laughing. Hidan was also leaning back on his chair, but he wasn't laughing; he was groaning.

"No, I wasn't drunk", I assured everyone, "it's just who I am." They all nodded slowly, except for Temari.

"You finally beat him?" Temari was walking up to my table casually. "I was done with Kisame like half an hour ago."

"Yeah, well, he hasn't passed out either, has he?" I asked, pointing at Kisame.

"Neither has this one", Temari pointed out, poking Hidan and making him groan louder.

"Yeah, yeah", I said, waving my hand. Then I raised an eyebrow, looking at the camera. "Hey, wha'cha doing, Dei?"

"Filming", Deidara's voice replied from behind the camera.

"Oh", I said. "Well, anyway!" I jumped up and hurried over to – somewhere.

"So, Temari", Kisame said, turning to the blondie professionally. "What do you think about this club so far?"

Temari rolled her eyes.

"Let's just go watch what Tenten's doing", she said and walked away. Kisame looked at the camera with raised eyebrows, then shrugged and followed her with Deidara and the camera behind him.

I was in the middle of a drinking competition when they came over.

"Bhly, ghluys", I said through my glass, not taking my eyes of my competitor.

The camera was focused on me at that part, so we didn't see who the other one was. I and Temari already knew, of course, and we grinned at each other, knowing that it soon would get good.

"What did she say?" Deidara's voice asked.

"'Hi, guys'", Temari translated, not taking her (bored) eyes of my competition.

Suddenly laughs were heard, and Deidara turned the camera around.

Everyone in the room (except for me and Temari) choked on their spit.

There sat Pein and Hidan on a couch, one arm around the other man's shoulder, a beer in the other hand and their booming laughs filling the whole room.

"Hah! That's something you don't see every day!" Sakura said, popping her head out of nowhere.

"Nope!" Hinata agreed, popping her head up next to Sakura's, watching the two with a grin. "And soon another one will join their party, it seems", she then added, glancing over her shoulder. The camera turned back to me and my competitor.

Sasuke choked on his spit.

"Blyoule glovbing blown", I warned Itachi, who sat in-front of me.

"You know, I can't understand a single thing you're saying", he informed me, putting down his glass to take a new one.

"No pauses!" I yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him. He rolled his eyes and took a new glass.

"She said 'you're going down'", Temari so kindly informed everyone in the room.

"Oi, Kisame!" Deidara called. The shark-man looked up. "Wanna bet? Which one wins, Itachi or Panda?"

"Hey!" I yelled, pointing at the screen accusingly. "I wasn't even wearing my buns, why the hell did he call me that?!"

"You made Mogi call you that", Temari reminded me. I blinked.

"No, I didn't", I defended myself, and partly that was true.
Temari didn't seem to think that way, though. She raised her eyebrows.

"Oh-kay", she said, looking away. I glowered at her for a second or two before I turned back to the screen.

"That's stupid, Deidara", Kisame said, rolling his eyes. "She's a little newbie, and Itachi's the best drinker I know after Hinata. It's obvious he'll win."

"She won Hidan", Deidara reminded him.

"Yeah, well, he isn't Itachi", Kisame said. "But if you wanna bet, sure. I'll bet on Itachi. Fifty bucks."

"Deal", Deidara said, and a hand came visible from behind the camera. Kisame shook it, and then they started encouraging us.

"Okay, Tenten, show him what you go for!" Deidara yelled. "I depend on you; I've only got twenty-five!"

"What?!" Kisame shouted at Deidara, who shrugged at him. The shark-man stared for a moment before he started shouting at Itachi.

"C'mon, man, if ya lose you'll lose your pride, too!" he said. "I need that money, so beat her ass!"

"It's 'kick her ass', Kisame", Hinata corrected him. He only rolled his eyes and continued yelling.

"You'll get twenty bucks if you win!" Deidara yelled at me.

"Hey!" I yelled again. "Where's my twenty bucks, you liar?!"

"You won him?" Sasuke asked, staring at me with wide eyes. I only grinned at him and then quickly turned back to the screen.

"Itachi, you'll get a night with my girl!" Kisame said, earning an empty glass in the head from the longhaired Uchiha.

"C'mon, Tenten!" Deidara yelled. "Kick his ass!"

"I'm trying!" I yelled, irritated, as I threw away an empty glass (kids, don't try that at home).

Suddenly someone snatched the camera from Deidara's hand and turned it against Sakura.

"So, Sakura", a voice said, and it took me a while to recognize it as Sasori's. "Anything you would like to say about your evening?"

"Sure", Sakura grinned, not taking her eyes of me and Itachi. "It's been pretty eventful, not to mention that I'm really proud of my little newbies! They've won guys twice their size already!"

"Uh, that's not quite true-" Kisame began, but got interrupted by a loud voice form behind him.

"Yeah, they're great – hic – chicks!" Hidan's drunken voice exclaimed. He had come swaying, one of his arms still around a laughing Pein's shoulders. "Not newbies at – hic – all, if ya ask me! They're freaking – hic – awesome! Even me! And Itachi! Tenten's gonna win, ya know. I'd bet a thousand bucks."

Kisame suddenly looked up, very interested.

"A thousand bucks, you say?" he asked slowly.

"Yeah!" Hidan exclaimed, hiccupping again.

"Hah!" Pein suddenly shouted. "She's nothing next to Konan! Konan won Tobi in less than ten minutes!"

"Well, Tobi can't – hic – hold his – hic – liquor very well, can he?" Hidan asked, pushing Pein away and swaying on his own, dangerously near a… cactus?

"Enough of that!" Kisame said. "So, you want to bet on Tenten?" he asked again, watching Hidan hopefully. The blonde man nodded.

"Thousand bucks", he repeated. Kisame smirked.

"This feels cruel", he said slowly, "but I'll take it." He grabbed Hidan's hand and shook it before he turned back to me and Itachi, his smirk widening.

It was a few moments of shouting, cheering, and – of course – drinking, before Kisame suddenly became poor; Itachi fell to the ground, groaning something about giving up.

"HAH!" I screamed out in triumph. "I won you, I won you, I won you!" I started dancing around Itachi's body, singing the same song teasingly all the time.
Then I stopped and pointed at him.

"TOLD YAH!!" I yelled, then fell to the floor laughing. After a moment of that, I lifted my head abruptly, stopping my hysterics.

"Where's Ino, by the way?" I asked.

"Over there", Hinata said, pointing at a table a few meters away. There sat Ino and Zetsu, drinking furiously and glaring into each other's eyes.

"She's not done yet?" I asked, then shrugged. "Well, then, where's Konan?"

"Over there", Sakura replied, pointing at another table, where Konan and Kakuzu sat, both drinking furiously.

"Oh", I said. "Well, then, where's Tobi?"

"Over there", Deidara said, pointing at the dance-floor. People were carrying the poor Tobi all around the place. He didn't seem to mind, though; he kept laughing all the time.
Well, he
had lost to Konan. Twice.

"'Sup, Sharky?" Hinata asked casually, plopping down on the sofa next to a sulking Kisame.

"One thousand and fifty", he mumbled, unaware of anything but his own… grief. "One thousand and fifty."
Hinata watched him for a moment before she shrugged and jumped up.

"Saki!" she yelled, pointing at Sakura. "Drinking competition! Now!"

Sakura stared at her with wide eyes for a half second before she grinned and shouted:

"Hell yeah!" while punching the air.

They flung themselves on the chairs by the table I and Itachi had used (Hinata kicked Itachi out of the way) and started drinking faster than anyone else had this far.
I stared at them in awe. I doubted that the liquid made it all the way down their throats before the next amount followed.

"Oi!" someone suddenly yelled. "You! Blondie!" Temari turned around, since she was the only blonde (woman) here that was able to pay attention to her surroundings.

"Yeah?" she asked. A man stood a few meters away, his friends grinning at us from behind him. He had very short, brown hair and was very tall and muscled.

"Wanna drinking-competition?" he asked, grinning. "You seem kinda bored. Bet'cha would like a little real competition." Kisame glared at him, waking up from his misery for a second, but everyone ignored him.
Temari smirked.

"Sure", she said. "I'll beat your ass in the range of two minutes."

"And you, with brown hair!" another one of the guys shouted. I looked up, raising an eyebrow.

"Want a competition?" he asked, smirking at me. This guy had messy red hair, and he was pretty muscled, too.
I smirked also.

"I'll beat you in a range of one minute", I informed him, cracking my knuckles.

"Show off", Temari muttered, but I ignored her and we both followed the men to a big table.

The camera quit on us and turned to Hinata and Sakura. Sasori was still the one holding it.

"Kisame, wanna bet?" Deidara asked, but he quickly quit the idea when he saw the look in the shark-man's eyes. He instead turned to the red-haired camera-man. "Sasori?" he asked.

"Depends", Sasori's voice replied. Dei grinned.

"'Kay. So, who do you think wins, Hinata or Sakura? I say Hinata", he said. I could hear Sasori frown thoughtfully.

"I'd rather choose Hinata, too", he finally said. "Why don't you bet with Hidan? You just have to convince him that Sakura will win, and then the money's yours." Deidara blinked, then grinned.

"Good thinking, Sasori!" he said before he rushed away.

"Hah! Those were like lame!" my voice could be heard singing. The camera turned to me and Temari, who were walking back towards Sasori.

"You got that one right", Temari smirked.

"You won them already?" Sasori asked, impressed.

"Yep!" I said, grinning. Then I turned to look at Sakura and Hinata's competition. It was like that for a minute or two.

"Boring!" I then exclaimed cheerfully. "Where's Itachi, by the way? And Hidan and Pein?"

"I don't know", Sasori said while looking around. "They left surprisingly quietly."

"I saw Hidan and Pein drag Itachi away somewhere", a voice said. We turned to see Ino stumbling against us, leaving an empty table behind her.

"Where's Zetsu?" Sasori asked.

At this neither I nor Temari could help to snicker. The others glanced at us and then leaned closer to the screen, not wanting to miss anything. They were all very surprised (and amused) by things this far.

Ino shrugged. "They dragged him away too. I have no idea what those two have in mind. I've never seen them drunk before."

"Neither have I", Hinata's voice suddenly was heard saying.

"You won Sakura?" I asked, surprised.

"Naah", she said. "Some random guy came and challenged her. She got pissed at him and decided to beat him."

"'Kay", I said, shrugging.

"Hi, Konan!" Temari suddenly said. We turned to see the blue-haired woman walk over to us casually. Kakuzu was leaning his head against the table they had been competing by. You couldn't tell if he was conscious or not, but one thing you could tell: he was kinda drunk.

"Hey", Konan said, yawning. "Wha'cha doing?"

"We're trying to figure out what Hidan and Pein are going to do to Itachi and Zetsu", Sasori replied.

Konan pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"Are you usually this crazy?" I suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Konan asked.

"Well, the only ones sane from your gang right now are you and Sasori", I said. "I mean, Tobi's being carried around the bar while laughing like a maniac, Kakuzu's probably unconscious from being drunk, Kisame's sulking coz he's lost one thousand and fifty bucks in a bet about if I'd win Itachi in a drinking competition or not, Deidara's looking for Hidan to trick him into another bet – about a competition that is by the way already over – and the unbelievably drunk Hidan and Pein have kidnapped Itachi and Zetsu to do god knows what with them."

It was silent for a moment.

"Well, when you put it like that…" Sasori began unsurely. "Though, no, we aren't. Guess it's yours and Temari's fault."

"Thanks", I said, grinning while Temari smirked. Sasori raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, look, there's Dei, Ita, Hidan, Pein and Kaku!" Ino suddenly exclaimed, pointing at somewhere.

We all wiped our heads that way and out eyes widened.

Everyone except me and Temari dropped their yaws (even Shino, though I – thanks to his high collar – only heard that because of my super-hearing).

"Oh god", Konan said.

"Not good", Sasori said.

"…!!!" Temari said.

'O.o', was how Ino looked.

"What…?" I asked.

"The…?" Hinata asked.

"HELL?!!"

The five men were sitting in a circle of couches similar to the first one we had entered. They were laughing even worse than before, except for Hidan and Deidara; these two were doing a duet to the song on the radio – 'Barbie Girl'.

I and Temari – who was the only ones not in chock – started laughing like maniacs. Soon Ino joined us, then Sakura, then Hinata, then Naruto, and soon the whole room was echoing with laughter; even Neji, Sasuke and Shino laughed (although Shino more like chuckled).

"What…?" I asked again.

"Thank you!" Hidan was heard yelling over the cheers of his and Deidara's three-man audience. He jumped down on a seat and Deidara followed.

"Zetsu and Pein next!" he yelled.

The next song was Ain't no other man by Christina Aguilera. Zetsu actually did the high pitched notes very nicely.

Everyone laughed even harder.

"Ow!" Kiba laughed. "Ouch, my stomach!" He fell backwards as he continued laughing.

The song ended. Then:

"Itachi and Pein!" Deidara yelled. "You gotta sing my favorite!"

"But I don't feel like Twinkle tonight", Itachi whined.

Sasuke stopped laughing when that sunk in. He stared at the screen, completely speechless.

"C'mon!" Deidara whined back. "I wanna hear it!"

"Yeah, c'mon, Ita-chan!" Hidan yelled.

"Okay then", Itachi sighed and – for a second – he almost sounded like himself.

Not for long, though: Pein dragged Itachi up on the table and then… they started singing.

"Hey, Teme, Teme!" Naruto somehow managed to choke out between the laughs. "You sing as well as your brother?"
Chicky's face was blank, though; he didn't understand anything about his surroundings for the moment.

Sasori, Konan, Hinata, Ino, Temari and I were watching the five in silent astonishment.

"What the…?" Sakura's voice suddenly was heard. Behind her was at least ten tables with at least three unconscious guys each, but she didn't seem to be thinking about her victories. She was staring at the five men, just as the rest of us.

"I know", Temari said in a weak voice. After a while of chocked silence Sakura's voice was heard again, speaking slowly:

"Hey, Sasori…" she said.

"Yeah?" the man managed to ask.

"You're filming this?"

Silence. Then:

"Yeah, I guess I am…" Sasori said slowly. Then he managed a chocked chuckle. "Wonder what they'll do when they find out about that."

Silence again. Then:

"Gimme that!"

"What?! No, Ino! It's mine!"

"Hell, no! I want it!"

"Aah! Owwiee! Temari, that hurt!"

"I want the camera!"

"Not you too, Sakura!"

"None of you are gonna get it! Gimme!"

"No, Tenten! It's mine!"

"Well, since the four of you obviously can't handle this… Give it to me!"

"Hinata, no!"

"It's mine!"

"No, Konan, it's mine! I'm the one who filmed!"

"Give it!"

"Hah! Got it, sucker!"

"NO! I got it, sucker!"

"Give it back!"

"I want i-"

Blackness

We all continued our hysterics for around ten minutes after the screen went black - except for Sasuke, who was still too chocked.

"Aw, Chicky", I said, grinning. "Did it hurt you feelings?" Sasuke slowly turned his head to me. His eyes were wide and his face otherwise blank.

Then, after a few minutes:

"Can you get me a copy of that?"

A short moment of silence followed, and then everyone started laughing again.

"But, Tenten", Kiba said, "how'd ya get the tape?" I smirked.

"Oh, it's a little thing called bitch-slapping and running 'til the chasers are too tired to care anymore", I said nonchalantly. Kiba grinned.

"That was great!" Naruto said, leaning back against the bed behind him and stretching out his legs. "Man, I'm gonna tease them 'bout that next time I see them."

"Wonder if Konan told them…" Temari said. "I don't think Sasori remember anything 'bout it. He got so drunk when Tenten beat him in a drinking competition." I grinned smugly while the others stared at me, surprised.

Suddenly someone knocked at the door.

"You in there!" Kakashi's voice was heard calling. "Keep it down, will you! Your neighbors have complained about loud noises! Hope I'm not interrupting anything pleasant…" The last part was mumbled and fading, as if he was walking away when he said it.
But I have super-hearing, so hah!

"Well, guess we should get going", I then said, yawning and stretching.

"Yeah, it's kinda late already", Temari said, looking out the dark window. "Guess the movie was longer than we thought." She stood up. "Night, everybody."

Everyone said their goodnights to the others, and after a moment I left together with Neji and Sasuke.

"Soo, Chicky", I said, "you liked it?" He smirked and gave a nod.
Neji smirked also.

"He finally got something to blackmail his brother with", he said. "Usually it's the other way around, you see." I snickered and Sasuke glared at his friend.

The rest of the way was silent. When we finally got to our room, I threw myself at the bed.

"Why am I so tired?" I asked, yawning and closing my eyes. "I've done nothing especially tiresome today…"

"Yes, you have", Sasuke said. "You've spent time with Hyuuga." I laughed lightly again.

"True", I sighed, making Neji glare at me – but only halfheartedly, so hah!

"Maybe you should go to sleep, if you're tired", Neji suggested. I heard Sasuke roll his eyes.

"No shit, Sherlock", he said. Now Neji rolled his eyes.

I listened to their playful arguing for a moment. It was calming, and after a moment I couldn't tell what they were saying anymore.
Then, in a few minutes, my eyelids started to close. The blackness then took over, and I fell asleep.

End of chapter nine

Again, I am soo sorry for the late update! It won't happen again, please forgive me!
Hope you were entertained by the movie. I did my best in making it funny, so…
Hey, what'd you think would happen to me if the Akatsuki really existed and they'd read that? I would be kinda dead, wouldn't I? Yeah, I would. xD

Anyways, please review!
