As the sun rose into the sky and swept the desert into an orange haze a young blond boy stirred from sleep, awoken by a rather strong pain in his head. "Hnnn, Ouch, my head." Naruto whined under his breathe, grasping his head with his hands. Opening his eyes the bright morning light shone straight into his blue pools causing the boy to squirm and turn away from the large glass doors. Then he reopened his eyes and began to observe the raven haired beauty that was now inches from his face. He could feel her breath on his lips and lightly brushed his lips over her forehead before carefully getting out of bed to search the hotel for aspirin.
Realizing he had nothing but his orange boxers on which now had stains right down the front, Naruto concluded that he needed to find something more fitting for walking around the building. Making his way to the en-suit bathroom. Naruto's eyes scanned the room, hurting every time he moved them, eventually finding a white bathrobe. He quickly snatched it up and proceeded to put it straight on. Rushing out of the hotel room, the blond sped down the corridor trying to find someone he knew or someone who could give him aspirin, or any drug that would cure his aching head.
Meanwhile a rather dozy blonde began to stir from her sleep. Lucky for Temari, she never got hangovers so was feeling considerably better than anyone else who had been at the after party the night before. She headed through to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water before returning to the living area and giggled at the leftovers of her friends who had all passed out the night before all over the place. The only teenagers, who had slept in a bed, had been Pumpkin and Reno and Hinata and Naruto. Of course Temari knew nothing of what had conspired between the two Konoha ninja the night previous. No she didn't have a clue. She had her suspicions though and while watching her mates wriggle in their sleep was extremely entertaining, she decided that making a trip to Hinata's room would be better.
"Mmmm…Ahhh" Hinata moaned in her sleep and yawned while slowly opening her eyes. Her head felt like it was swollen, her eyes felt stingy, and she was finding it hard to remember how she got into bed or even where she was. After dragging herself out of bed she made her way through to the bathroom to see what she looked like, peering into the mirror she saw an awful sight. Her hair was a mess and the clips that had been holding it up had been dislodged and were now hanging all over the place. Then she noticed her makeup, which was smeared all over her face too. She concluded that she must have had too much to drink and she must have been crying. After washing her face and throwing on her clothes from her backpack which had been taken to the room the previous day, she headed through to make herself some breakfast, but was disturbed by a knock on the door. "Helloooo, Hinata…go let me in please." She definitely knew that voice so she let her friend in.
After making them both some breakfast, simple bacon, eggs and toast, Hinata returned to the living area where her friend had been waiting. Placing the plates in front of both herself and Temari, she began to eat. Temari looked at the food for a minute before taking her first bite. "God, Hinata, this is really good" the blonde stated before shoveling the rest down her throat, opal eyes stared in awe at how fast the girl was eating. Finishing her breakfast quickly Temari turned to her friend and began to ask what had happened the night before.
"So…what happened after you guys got back here? You did make up didn't you?" the blonde questioned, excitement showing in her voice. "Erm…w-well, I don't r-remember anything from half way th-through the after p-party" the kunoichi replied in her shy quiet voice. "Jeez Hinata. That's no use. You're stuttering again!" Temari almost yelled. "And don't worry if you can't remember now. It'll probably come back to you soon"
"Ok" was all the younger girl could say in reply 'I want to know what happened at the party too. She knows, if I ask her she should tell me.' "Em, Temari?"
"Yes"
"W-what happened at th-the after party?"
"Well…" Temari began her long description of the previous night's occurrences. Just a few rooms down the corridor and Naruto had been making his way through the hotel when he walked right into Gaara. 'I wonder if he has aspirin' was what both the teens were thinking, but Gaara was the first to ask. "Aww, you mean you don't have any" The blond had responded before grabbing the redhead's arm and dragging him down the corridor to help search for painkillers. "So…Naruto? What happened last night?" Gaara asked before winking at his blue eyed mate. "Well nothing much" Naruto replied with his trademark grin stretching over his face "Come on man, you can tell me." And that was when Naruto decided. He definitely preferred Gaara before he turned nice. "I want to know the details too, I want to know everything. We did try like really hard to get you guys together." Sighing Naruto decided to tell his friend what had happened, while they continued looking for aspirin.
'I can't believe all that stuff happened. And I stopped stuttering. I kissed Gaara! Oh no what a mess I must have been in.' Hinata thought in shock at what the blonde beside her had just told said. Her face was now as red as Temari had ever seen it. Looking at the floor Hinata began to wonder what had happened when she returned to her room. She knew she had been with Naruto. She was drunk, what if she had hit him or shouted at him and he now hated her. But then something caught her attention, out of the corner of her eye she saw something on the bedroom floor, she could only see it because she hadn't closed the door earlier. Turning her head fully to inspect the item she saw that it was clothing. Gasping as she realized whose clothes it was, all the colour draining from her face. She stood up fast and made her way to the bedroom, followed by a bewildered Temari.
Temari soon knew why the raven haired heiress was acting so strangely, as she saw Hinata pick up a shirt. It was grey and white stripped and was definitely the same shirt she had seen Naruto in. 'I don't think I'm the only one here who is desperate to know what happened last night' She thought to herself watching the Hyuuga plop down onto the bed. Hinata closed her eyes and began to recount the events that had taken place, she was beginning to remember the things that her friend had told her now. But that wasn't what she needed to remember she wanted to know what had happened here, in this room, on this bed.
Both the girls' attention was turned sharply through to the apartment door as it crept open and in came Gaara, followed by Naruto. They both looked really bad as they plopped themselves down onto the seats. From what Temari could see they both had hangovers. Deciding that taking the worried Hinata through to the blond might not be such a good idea, she turned to her friend and gestured for her to stay where she was.
Closing the door behind her as she left the bedroom Temari took a seat next to Naruto. 'Now I'll get to know what happened!'' she thought in excitement. "Naruto?" she said in a questioning tone. Naruto knew what she was going to ask so he acted on initiative, which was something he was used to doing. "Ask Gaara, I just told him the whole thing kay?" blue eyes full of happiness. Temari wondered how he had read her mind and turned her gaze to her brother. Clearing her throat she leant to the side until she was just inches from Naruto's ear, she whispered "I think you should go talk to Hinata right now." Naruto wasn't sure why but he certainly wasn't against the idea of seeing the heiress again.
Hinata had managed to recall lying on the bed crying and that she and Naruto had kissed. She was filled with happiness at the discovery. But she knew she needed to remember more, she was now worried about what they had done after the kiss. Hearing the door slide open, she turned her head to the boy who had just entered, seeing Naruto again made all the worries disappear. Nearing the bed, Naruto sat on the edge and looked straight into Hinata's eyes. She could see he wasn't well "Are you f-feeling alright N-naruto-kun?" she stuttered, her face turning a light shade of pink. "Nah I feel like shit, my head is throbbing like crazy, but, how are you?" he asked in a soothing voice which made Hinata smile. "Naruto-kun I'm f-fine" Hinata really wanted to know what had happened but she didn't get much of a choice as she soon found herself in the arms of her love. Closing her eyes she began to let her mind drift back to the previous night.
As she let all the feelings and thoughts come rushing back to her, she felt her body move itself and her lips touch Naruto's. Opening her eyes and seeing the boy in front of her she found she suddenly remembered everything. Pushing her lips harder to the boys, she dropped the shirt and wrapped her arms around his neck, he, in turn wrapped his arms around her back pulling her tighter into the embrace.
"Aww, aren't they cute" Temari said from the doorway, causing the two to tear away from each other and each blush at what they had been caught doing. Turning to her little brother she smiled and continued speaking "I guess kankurou really did know what he was doing, eh?" gaining a nod in reply from her little brother she decided to return to the other room to wake her friends and give them the aspirin they would all be craving.
