Italics are Hinata's thoughts

Bold and Italics are Naruto's thoughts

This is Kyuubi

Party Time

We all stared at eachother. No one said anything. Someone say something! Why isn't anyone speaking. I looked at Neji. Neji say something! This is your party! Still no one said anything. Ugh. I guess if you want something done, you have to do it yourself.

"The party room is that way." I pointed to the direction of the party room.

"I'll lead the way. Follow me." Neji said leading the way. They all followed. I sighed a sigh of relief. Well, glad that's over. Now we have to wait for the other people.

"Why don't we see what they're up to?" Sakura suggested. I nodded in agreement and together we all went to the party room. We went up the stairs and saw them looking around.

"I have to say Neji, you did this place up very nicely. It seems to be very troublesome to do something this cool." Shikamaru complimented.

"He didn't set this place up. We did." Ino replied before Neji could say anything. All the boys, except Neji, looked shocked.

"You girls did this?" Shikamaru asked. We all nodded. They all started laughing.

"Neji you had them do this for you! Awesome man!" Naruto slapped Neji on the back. Idiots.

"Well every party has a DJ and yours doesn't seem to have one." TenTen noticed. Neji's face went blank.

"Oh shit! I forgot about that! Crap."

"We need to find someone who really likes music that's all." Sakura said.

"And who's willing to spin for us." Sasuke added.

"Neji, how many people did you actually invite?" I asked. Then the bell rang. "I guess we'll have to see for ourselves then." Neji opened the door and a lot of people cam storming in. Neji found some dude named Yoshi to spin. People were dancing and eating some of the stuff we made. Neji went to his room to order the pizza because it was getting a bit too noisy.

"It's getting loud. Think we can find the guys?" Ino yelled.

"What?" I yelled back.

"You want to wear a disguise?" TenTen yelled.

"What?" Ino yelled back.

"She said I think I want fish eyes!" Sakura yelled.

"Hey why don't we go to my room!" I yelled.

"Good idea!" The girls yelled back. We all managed to push past all the people and we finally made it to my room.

"Phew! It's really crowded there!" TenTen said.

"Yeah. It is! How many people did Neji invite?" I asked.

"I don't know. It seems like the whole school to me." Sakura replied.

"HINATA! OPEN THE DOOR!" I opened the door and saw Neji standing there with his arms folded.

"Did you knock?" I asked.

"Yes I did but it's a bit too loud. It's a good thing we don't have any neighbors."

"Yeah. So what do you want?"

"Can you stand by the door and wait for the pizza man to come?"

"Uh..."

"Here's the money. Now go! He could be here soon!" Neji shoved me outside.

"I'll be right back guys." I clambered out of my room and waited at the front door.

Naruto's POV

Hinata was there when Neji opened the door. Heck, she even helped him set up the dang place. I had no freaking idea what I was going to do. They were going out after all!

"These brownies are good." Sasuke said with his mouth full of brownie bits.

"I thought that you didn't eat sweet stuff."

"Hn. I was getting hungry. I needed to eat something and this happened to be the closest thing." And I thought Shikamaru was the lazy one. Wait...where is he anyway?

"Where's Shikamaru?"

"I don't know. He's probably laying down in one of the comfy couches." A bunch of Sasuke's "fangirls" managed to spot him and crowded around him.

"Hey Sasuke, want to dance?"

"Sasuke, lets get a drink together."

"Come on Sasuke. Lets ditch this place and go somewhere else."

"Uh...Sasuke, I think I'll just leave you to your fangirls." I said. Then I walked away. I needed to get an answer. Was Hinata going out with Neji? That's when I saw her. Standing by the front door, as if she were waiting for someone. Should I talk to her? Should I ask her if she's going out with Neji?

What are you waiting for Kid? Go ask her.

Won't she be mad at me?

Why the heck would she be mad at you?

I don't know.

Well then go! You're wasting my time Kiddo!

Hey! That rhymes!

Do I look like I give a damn?

I can't see you...remember?

GO NOW! DON'T MAKE ME TAKE OVER YOUR BODY!

Okay okay I'm going. For the love of ramen calm down. I started walking towards her. She saw me then she smiled. "Hey Naruto."

"Hi Hinata. What are you doing?"

"Oh I'm just waiting for the pizza man. Neji ordered pizza."

"Yeah everyone loves pizza huh?"

"Yeah. The girls and I would've made it if we had enough time to but you know how it is. It takes us about an hour to get ready." She started laughing. She looked pretty.

"You look nice."

"Oh thanks." She blushed a deep red. The bell rang. Hinata opened the door and gave the pizza man his money then she held all the boxes. There must have been at least 16 boxes.

"Here let me help you." I grabbed a bunch of the boxes.

"Thank you so much." Together we went upstairs and put the boxes down on the snack table. Immediately, people started crowding around to get a slice or two. Hinata and I walked down the stairs. I decided to ask her.

Hinata's POV

Naruto is such a helpful person! If only Neji could be as helpful as him. I felt myself blushing.

"Hey Hinata."

"Yes Naruto?"

"You and Neji seem to be together a lot. Are you guys..."

"Yeah, are we what?" Oh yes! I'm not stuttering anymore! Sweet!

"Are you guys like...going out or something?" I don't know why but I started to laugh. I laughed like I didn't laugh before.

"Of course not! We're cousins! Cousins don't go out with eachother!"

"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't know that!" He looked relaxed all of a sudden. I wondered why.

"But if you want to know who he likes, I can tell you."

"Really? Who is it?" We walked together and saw TenTen walking somewhere with Neji.

"TenTen. That girl who he's walking with. I think he's going to confess. Lets go see!" I didn't know that I grabbed Naruto's hand. We followed them to the garden and hit behind a bench.

"TenTen there's something I want to tell you." Neji said.

"Well then go ahead." She answered.

"See the thing is..."

"Yeah? Continue." At this stage Neji started to blush. I held back the urge to laugh. He never blushed. Never.

"I like you. I really really like you. Ever since I saw you playing basketball I knew that you were the one. So TenTen, will you go out with me?" There was silence. All I could hear was Naruto's breath.

TenTen started to blush. "Neji you idiot! You made me blush!"

"Oh I'm sorry. So yes or no?"

"...yes. I've liked you too. I don't know since when, but I know that I like you as well."

"I think we should go now." I whispered to Naruto.

"Good idea." We slowly crept away from where Neji and TenTen were standing and joined Sakura who was talking to Sasuke.

"Wow Sasuke! How did you manage to escape those fangirls?" Naruto asked. Fangirls? I laughed.

Sasuke and Sakura blushed. Is Sasuke blushing? Do I need to get my eyes checked? What is going on tonight?

"Sasuke, I'm waiting for an answer." Naruto impatiently said tapping his foot.

"Get lost idiot. I'll tell you later." Naruto looked angry and was about to say something when he spotted cup ramen on the snack table. "OMG ramen! I love ramen." He ran over to it and started pouring hot water in it and eating it. I gave Sakura two thumbs up and went away.

I found Ino sitting by herself on the couch. As I got closer I saw that Shikamaru was with her. I turned around and went to the snack bar in hopes of getting a slice of pizza. If not, I could always make myself a sandwich. Then I heard the phone ringing. Shit! There was a phone in every single part of the house. I had to find the quietest part of the house. I'm guessing it's the attic. I ran to the attic and sure enough the only sound there was the sound of a phone ringing. I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hi Hinata! How are you?" It was my father.

"Hello Father! Everything's going great."

"You're having a party aren't you?" My heart stopped.

"What?" I said shocked.

Then I heard laughter. "Scared you didn't I?"

I laughed as well. Phew! "You sure did Father."

"Where's Hanabi?"

"She's gone over to her friend's house for a sleepover."

"Good. Neji?"

"Uh...He's in the bathroom! He's having really bad...stomach cramps. I don't even think he can speak!"

"Trust him to spoil his stomach."

"So...how are things?"

"Everything's fine here. I just wanted to see how you were doing. You're doing a really good job."

"Thanks Father."

"Okay I have to go now. I have to go to this dinner with my colleagues."

"Bye Father."

"Bye." He hung up. So did I.

I ran over to the snack table. I was starving. There was pizza. Plenty of it. I grabbed two slices and hungrily started gobbling them. After I finished, I grabbed a brownie, a marshmallow stick, and a cookie. This would be my dessert.

"Well well well. What do we have here?" I looked up and saw Karin and her friends standing in front of me.

"She seems to be pigging out as always." Yuki said.

"I wonder how she always stays so thin. Maybe her daddy sends her for a tummy tuck once in a while." Zakuro said. They all started laughing their shrieky laugh. It was so annoying.

"It's so good to see you girls as well." I said with a smile on my face. "Remember, I have the special chance to tell on you."

"Well, we're in your house. Not at school. Nobody will believe you."

"Oh sure they will. I have a tape recorder right here." Naruto said, coming over and holding it up. "It's recording every single thing we're saying."

"Naruto, you wouldn't do something like that to us would you?" Temari said.

"Yeah. We're popular like you. Not some freak who pigs it out all the time." Yuki said going up and trying to seduce him. Ew. Gross. Disgusting.

"Hey don't you say that about her. I pig it out all the time too. I eat ramen whenever I get the chance to. Now if you don't want to get in trouble, you'd better clear off." The four of them scowled and went away.

"You okay?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Thank you. I didn't want to start another food fight." We both laughed.

Naruto and I talked for the rest of the party. When it started to get late, people left. Neji said bye to each one of them. I gave Sakura, Ino and TenTen hugs before they went away. I told them that I'd have their stuff delivered to them the next day. I said bye to Naruto. I guess it's safe to now say that we were friends. Just friends. Soon, the house was empty, with the exception of me and Neji.

"So, you confessed to TenTen huh?" I asked with a smirk.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"Lets just say that I saw you asking her to come to the garden with you."

"Yes. I bet by Monday the whole school will know about it."

"Yeah and all your fangirls will be devastated."

"I didn't know I had fangirls."

"Trust me. Every popular guy has fangirls."

"Yeah yeah. Oh and here. I guess you earned this." He tossed me a huge box of chocolates.

"Wow! Thanks! Now, how do we get this mess cleaned up?"

Author's Note: Okay! That's chapter 9! Sorry I took a while to put that up. I went for a sleepover and overslept and stuff...you know what happens when you have a sleepover! Please review and tell me what you think! :D
