Saiko sat up and rubbed his eyes. Kiba's snoring had woken him up. What had started as an innocent bbq had ended as an all night garden party. And then they'd all just crashed in various places. Saiko found that he was sideways in the double bed. Kiba was to his left, his head resting on Shikamaru's chest, to Shikamaru's left was an empty space with crumpled sheets, where Hiroko had started off there. On a pile of pillows on the floor there were Rini and Izumi cuddled together. Saiko law back down and closed his eyes. Then he reached out and hit Kiba round the head to stop him snoring. Kiba muttered something in his sleep and rolled over, pushing Shikamaru into the empty space.

In the living room Sorano and Akira were sharing the sofa, not looking very comfortable in their dreams as well as in their positions. Shino had gone home late that night when he had realised he'd have to stay on the floor. Choji was in the kitchen under the table. Matsu was awake and making himself breakfast as he read a note Hiroko had left.

Just gone to see if Shino is ok, couldn't find him this morning. Also Hinata is the bathtub (I know, strange place but I don't think the sake did her any good), so don't use the bathroom.

Also there's nothing really left for breakfast so I'll bring us back something.

Hiroko

He put the note back down on the table and went outside to have his tea in the sun. Kiba, after having been poked a few more times by Saiko (but as Saiko was pretending to be asleep he didn't realise), had woken up and was wondering around looking confused. He saw Matsu and wobbled towards the glass door, but walked on an empty sake bottle and fell out of the door onto the lawn. Matsu burst out laughing. Kiba glared at him and hobbled into the kitchen where he found the note. He poked Choji and Ryo awake.

"Hey lets go scare Hinata!"

And with that Kiba, Choji, Ryo and Matsu went creeping into the bathroom. The next thing everyone was woken by a loud scream, a bang and the boys running out of the house chased by a rather hungover looking Hinata.


Hiroko was standing outside Shino's house. She was still scared of him and she didn't want to get him into trouble with his parents so she hesitated at ringing the bell. After a few minutes she mastered the courage to ring the bell. As she reached out to do so the front door swung open. Hiroko jumped, squealed, feel backwards over her foot and found herself sitting on the road. Shino reached down to help her up.

"I seriously wonder how someone as clumsy as you ever made it through the chuunin exams..."

Hiroko blushed and started mumbling about being worried, him being fine and her having to go buy breakfast.


Back at Hiroko's half the people had gone home. The others where sitting or lying in various places, either half asleep or chatting to the person closest to them. Rini and Izumi had made it out of the pile of pillows and were making tea, coffee and hot chocolate for the others.

Saiko decided he was tired and wondered back into the bedroom only to find that Shikamaru had now taken up all the space.

"Move lazy"

"fuck off…"

Saiko pushed Shikamaru off the bed and collapsed on it.

"No fair" moaned Shikamaru, but he stayed in the position he had landed, too tired to bother to do anything about it.

"What was up with you and Kiba this morning?"

"What-da-ya-mean?"

"You had your arm round him and he was sleeping on your chest."

Shikamaru felt his cheeks start to burn.

"No idea, he must have rolled in his sleep"

And with that he went to lock himself in the bathroom until his face regained its normal colour.

Hiroko came back with Shino, carrying bags full of cereal, croissants and other brunch type foods. Naruto and Sakura were with them, having met them in the market and decided breakfast sounded like a good idea. The others jumped them as soon as they got through the door and stole the bags. Hiroko left them to the cooking and wondered around looking blankly at the mess. Sakura managed to scare most of them out into the garden so that she, Rini and Nanako could use the kitchen.

Later that day once everyone had gone home Hiroko walked into her bedroom to go back to sleep. That's when she found Shikamaru curled up in her sheets, fast asleep, having gotten back into bed after Saiko had woken up. She smiled, and climbed into bed next to him, pushing him over to one side of the bed. He muttered in his dreams without waking.
