Century Sleepover

Whoo! We're back peoples! Sorry it took so long to start this chapter, it just took me so long to think of something to even hope to combat with "roundhouse kicked to the face". I know, should've tried. Yeah, I know, took me a pretty long time. But I suddenly got in the mood to type as much as I could before I get too bored and out of the mood. So, I'll try my best. Right Hikari!

Hikari: Right! gives thumbs up

Afrochicken14: Afrohawk does not own Naruto. And for those wondering, I'm still here, just maybe…idk, would you say out of the way?

Afrohawk52(me): Well…not really. You kinda represent the kid in me.

Afrochicken14: Oh, okay. Sounds cool.

Hikari: Umm…can we move on please?

Me: Right, right. Oh, and for the record, everyone's back to normal here. Well…except Shino.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah the open road. A fine place to take an illustrious road trip. See the trees, see the scenery…see the honking cars, air pollution and cursing humans as they drive by you…Oh yes, the open road.

Neji sighed. "Remind me again how we got on this road…" Tsunade, in the driver's seat, looked back.

"I'll tell you what, when we get back, I'll give you a flashback. Deal?" She replied. She turned around quickly again and re-commenced driving the large, first-class coach bus full of ninja. The order of the seating goes as such:

Okay, so, on the right side of the bus, going from front to back, we have Kakashi and Kurenai talking amongst themselves, Lee and Gai-Sensei constantly yelling out their names to each other, Chouji and Shino, completely quiet, Hikari and Kiba, happily talking as if they knew each other for years whilst Akamaru and Afro had their heads out the window and tongues flying (you have no idea how funny it would look for a hawk to be doing that), and Naruto and Hinata in the back.

Anyway, on the LEFT side, we have Shizune and Asuma, sharing absolutely no contact or anything, Neji and his beloved Tenten, Tenten avoiding contact and Neji scowling at the window seat, Shikamaru and Ino, Shikamaru hoping nothing happens like the last time he was in a vehicle with her, and Sasuke and Sakura doing nothing in the back. Let's join them…shall we?

First up, Gai and Lee!

"Gai-sensei! You're awesome!"

"Lee! So are you!"

"Gai-sensei! You're like a father to me!"

"Lee! And you are like my youthful son!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

(you get the idea)

Next, Kakashi and Kurenai

Kakashi was neck deep in his favorite perverted book while Kurenai watched in disgust.

"Why do you read those things?" Kurenai asked negatively. Kakashi, finding the one time to look up on the entire road trip (no, seriously), looked up.

"It's because it reminds me so much of my own life." Kakashi answered dully. She looked at him with curiosity.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked. Kakashi smiled under that mask of his and flipped a couple pages backward. He held the book out to her while still looking in it himself. He pointed to a spot. She read quickly, her eyes widening after each word.

"You mean…this was when we…"

"Yep."

"With the rubber duck?"

"Uh-huh."

"And the giant…"

"Oh yeah."

"Even the part about…"

"Yep, even that part."

"Wow…" Kurenai closed the book and handed it back to him.

"We should do that again sometime." Kakashi said.

"Hm…yeah, that would be fun." She replied, sitting back in her seat. Kakashi once again smiled inside of his mask and regained reading his precious book once again.

Chouji!

'Chouji was on the end seat happily munching on his gourmet chips. "Hmm…maybe Shino wants 1. Okay…just one won't hurt." He thought. "Hey Shino…" He looked over, but saw no Shino to be found. "Shino?" cue Jaws music Dun Dun…Suddenly, a large black fin appeared right under his seat and quickly left. Cue faster Jaws music The fin circled around him, but Chouji was completely oblivious to the matter. Cue even faster music He saw it. The fin of death.

"Hello? Shino, that you?" He asked cautiously. The fin appeared again, this time over his head, and quickly sped off. "This isn't funny man!" The music got louder "SHINO STOP!" Chouji yelled, making the entire bus of ninja all turn around, getting some loud beeping in the background because someone wasn't watching the road. "Heh heh…sorry." Everyone turned around he sighed. the music stopped. Suddenly, a large shark attacked! "HOLY SHI-" But that was all Chouji could say, for the shark took him to be locked away for an eternity. The end.'

"Shino…that was the worst story I've ever heard." Chouji replied.

"Yes, but all true." Shino said.

"What are you talking about?" Chouji asked. Suddenly, Shino was gone. "Shino?" A large fin appeared…

Hikari and Kiba!

"So…" Kiba started to say, nervous because he never really talks to girls much. Well…Hinata doesn't count, she's already nervous. Anyway…

"Yes?" Hikari asked sweetly.

"Er…umm...thanks for saving me yesterday." Kiba replied. Hikari playfully punched him on the shoulder.

"It's okay! I was happy to do it!" She replied.

"Man…you probably punched that guy to the moon…"

"Aw, what are the odds of that?"

Meanwhile…

It was another mission to the moon for the U.S. All was going well, as they were about to place another American flag into a crater.

"Uhh…Houston, we have a problem." One of the astronauts said into his microphone.

"What's the problem?" Houston replied.

"Well…it looks like a purple thing floating around in space." He grabbed the foot of the "thing" in space. "Hey…looks like a dinosaur." He looked to the head of the dinosaur, as it was holding it's hands towards its neck, trying to gasp for air. "Hmm…oh I got it!" The astronaut went back to the ship. After moments later, he emerged with a video camera.

"What are you doing?" Houston asked.

"Watching his head explode!" He replied, just as the head of Barney exploded from lack of oxygen. "Ha! Awesome!"

"C'mon, let's get this thing back to the ship, we might be able to bring it back to life!" Houston said, grabbing dead Barney.

"Fine…"

Back to the Bus…

"So yeah, thanks anyway." Kiba replied. He smiled lightly at her, making her blush, but unlike her shy cousin, she instead glomped him as much as she could. (But remember, they're on a coach bus. That's not that much).

"You're welcome!" Hikari replied.

The stutter couple!

Naruto, like his animal friends, was sticking his head happily out the window, enjoying the great breeze from the fast speeding coach bus. Hinata, of course, was watching quietly and playing with her fingers as she watched her crush do what he does best. Be really stupid. Eventually, he brought he head back inside and grinned sheepishly at Hinata, who blushed and looked away. Naruto put on his puzzled face, wondering why she avoided him so. Oh yeah, right, she's demented. You don't know what I'm talking about? Well…FLASHBACK!

Hikari: We can't do any flashbacks this chapter!

Me: Why not?

Hikari: Because you used up the flashback budget last time, we have to wait till next chapter.

Me: Aw…

Anyway…Naruto, being completely brain dead to people's feelings, just thought she was crazy and needed medical help, not that she was practically in love with him. He shrugged it off and sat in his seat quietly. Well…that is until 5 seconds later when he got bored. He sat up higher in his seat to see what Kiba was doing, currently being glomped by his lovely Hyuuga companion.

"Yo, Kiba!" Naruto greeted. Kiba looked up to see that trademarked foxy grin Naruto always gave.

"Hey…can't you see I'm in the middle of something here?" Kiba replied, referring to Hikari. He looked at Kiba, then at Hikari, then back at Kiba.

"Hey, Hikari, can you switch seats with me for a second?" Naruto asked. She frowned but proceeded to get up and move a row back. Naruto, being Naruto, decided to climb over the seat. And…being in a coach bus, that's not easy. But, he succeeded in his quest and sat down next to his dog buddy. "Yo."

"Sup, Naruto." Kiba replied, and Akamaru finally deciding to come back in from the window. Alas, Afro did not, and got hit by a stop sign, knocking him out the window. "Holy shit…"

"Meh, don't worry about it," Hikari said from behind the seat. "He'll appear in an hour with his left wing painted red, his right wing having a 10 on it, a Cherokee headband on, and a note from some little girl saying I owe her an ice cream." Everyone in the back row (including Sasuke and Sakura) gave her that "Are you kidding me?" look. "What, this isn't the first time this has happened. This is like…maybe the 5th." Shrugs followed that, and the ninja in the back row went back to their corrective seats.

"Anyway," Naruto replied. "How you doing since you came back from Barney's land?" Kiba shuddered at the thought of the chance that purple fag could still be alive.

"Well, it's like this. I went to the sleepover. That was hell on Earth. I got captured by Barney. That was hell period. Then, Hikari saves me. I went to heaven." Kiba said bluntly.

"Sounds like a best seller to me!" Naruto said, giving that fake good guy pose.

"Check's in the mail." Afro came in through the window saying. Sure enough, he had his left wing paitned red, his right wing with a 10 on it, and a Cherokee headband on. But no note from the little girl…

"Hey, it hasn't been an hour yet!" Hikari yelled.

"I dodged the little girl with the ice cream this time. Surprisingly, that shaved off the hour." Afro said, perching himself on Hikari's shoulder.

"Alrighty then." Naruto said, going back to chat with Kiba. But, while the boys talk, let's peak in on the girls' chat, shall we?

"Hey, Hinata-san, why don't you ever go for Naruto aggressively or anything?" Hikari asked Hinata. She blushed furiously, considering not many people know about her secret. Yeah, right.

"Well…I-I don't know, I-I guess I'm just too shy for him or something…" She replied, slowly lowering her head.

"Hinata." Hikari said seriously. Hinata immediately snapped to attention and turned her head toward Hikari. "You know Naruto didn't have any parents, correct?"

"Yes." Hinata replied sadly.

"So, you do realize if you don't say anything, he'll never know, correct?"

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it. He's been shunned his entire life and not had a single parent to get him through that. Do you honestly think he knows anything about love?" Her eyes widened when she finally realized the truth. Something in Hinata's brain clicked that day. She, and every other person who knew about her secret, never really thought about that. It wasn't his fault her feelings didn't reach him, he didn't even know what those feelings meant!

"N-now that you mention it, it does make some sense," Hinata replied, raising her voice a little over her usual quiet talking.

"I'll tell you what, I'm gonna help you out! You just do exactly what I say, and he'll know exactly what those feelings are." Hinata almost smiled from the thought of Naruto being hers, but she suppressed it, making sure no one knew of her thoughts.

"R-really?" Hinata replied.

"Really. Just leave it to me." Hikari replied. "After I get some more glomping time with Kiba, of course." She grinned sheepishly and stood up to go back to her own seat. She then grabbed Naruto and hoisted him back into his own seat next to Hinata, then sat down in her own and smiled. Oh…but it was no nice smile. But…a mischievous one…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cliffhanger of a lifetime. Heh heh heh, don't worry. She won't be evil. Well…okay, maybe a little bit. But not like threatening to kill people evil. Just your standard, crazy, regular old Hikari, like in her own stories.

Hikari: You better not turn me into a bad guy.

Me: I won't. I don't do plot twists till next chapter.

Hikari: Read and review please!
