A/N: sorry for the late update. Hope you enjoy this chapter was just a laid back chapter of fun and friendship. I hope you like it.

I think you should listen to the song / songs while reading for this chapter so you'd get into the moment. I love that song BTW.


The party had gone on till four in the morning and even after that there were people at the house. Mostly drunk people were there, the place was trashed and the seven girls were out cold. Itachi and Chieri where long gone.

Deidara was passed out in the back yard near the lake. Kisame had left with some chick and Hidan was on the kitchen floor covered with bear bottles and cans.

Hinata and Naruto were cuddling in the bathtub of the master bedroom. Naruto had held her hair up while she puked and then he found her passed out in the tub. He had left her get panadol for her, so when he came back and found her he just went in and held her sleeping body.

He knew he had to take care of her, not just because they were in a relationship but because he felt the need to. She was his now and he had to look after her, he wanted to be the one to help her feel better.

Usually she'd have her girls around although she never really got drunk like this, sort of; her friends were separated with their own lovers so it was his duty to look after his lover.

Though this wasn't the first time he has taken care of her, he has been around to help and he always looked out for her and kept the guys away from her. Kiba called him the bodyguard but he didn't see it that way, he was just protecting her. Every time he said that he felt like Sasuke since the guy said the same about Sakura.

Ino and Sai were in one of the other bedrooms along with some other couple. The couple occupied the floor while Ino and Sai had the bed. Ino had barely made it up the stairs when she had passed out. Sai had to carry her to the room where he had make the couple get of the bed.

They had some privilege in knowing the owners of this lake house, plus people respected and slightly feared his girlfriend so they'd do what he said without hesitation.

Tenten, Neji, RockLee, Kiba and Shino were on the balcony. During the fireworks Tenten and Neji had gone up there to get a better view. Lee, Kiba and Shino where up there playing cards so they decided to join in. It wasn't long until Tenten passed out on top of Neji and RockLee.

She had been up really early in the morning, had been on her feet and active all day and partied hard all night long, so it was only natural for her to be exhausted.

Temari, Shikamaru and Choji were in one of the bed rooms. After the party was over, or more like died down a little, the three of them had a good chat. Choji had told Temari stories about Shikamaru. Then they spoke about Choji's little crush on Ino, he had decided to let her be. He saw how happy she was, he didn't want to ruin it for her.

Pulse they were best friends it'll just spoil things between them. Then Temari had passed out and Shikamaru gave the chubby fella a prep talk.

Shikamaru was glad to see Choji smiling when Ino name was brought up, he was going to move on from his little crush on their blonde friend. He felt sorry for the guy but he knew it wouldn't work between the two; they were too different to be anything but friends. He wouldn't tell Choji this though.

He was afraid that this would cause problems in their friendship but it would seem likr Choji was thinking the same thing because he sated he knew Ino loved Sai and that she wouldn't love another. Choji was happy for her to because Sai loved her very much whereas he wasn't sure if what he felt for her was love like that.

Karin had left Suigetsu and Jugo to go sleep; she wasn't going to sleep on the couch or the floor or anywhere but a bed. She found one of the bedrooms and collapsed onto the bed after getting rid of the sheets. She knew people were in there having sex and she didn't want to sleep on anyone's cum and sweat stains. Gross.

Not too long after Suigetsu found her after Jugo left with some girl and he crawled in next to her. He wasn't going to let his drunk, tired, defenceless girlfriend wonder off to a bedroom to sleep where she could be attacked by some drunken asshole who wouldn't understand the meaning of 'no'.

He kill himself before letting anything ever happen to her.

Matsuri and Gaara were in the master bedroom with Sasuke and Sakura. The king size bed was big enough to hold all four of them without them killing each other for space. Matsuri and Sakura were in the middle while Gaara and Sasuke were at the ends.

The place was dead silent now and it was noticeable there was a party at the house.

Sasuke and Sakura had gone off into that room for some more action. But Gaara and Matsuri were already there. Pulse Naruto and Hinata were in the bathroom, so they had settled for sleep.

Sasuke and Sakura didn't mind that much since they had sneaked away from the party twice to fooled around for a very long time in the very bed they were on now.

Gaara had followed Matsuri into the master bedroom; she was helping Naruto with Hinata. Then they made their way to the bed to get some rest because they were extremely tired form dancing.

...

"Shit we got school!" Karin jumped up but regretted it right after because she needed to barf.

"What, what?" Suigetsu bolted up in alarm and looked around to see where he was. All he saw was Karin running out the room with a hand over her mouth. Still half asleep he dropped back onto the mattress and hugged Karin's pillow.

"Suigetsu!" Karin called out from down the hall. Suigetsu fought his sleepiness and got up, his head spinning and he felt like crap. Karin was on the ground in front the toilet bowl breathing heavily.

Suigetsu held her hair up and rubbed her back for her. "You want water or something?"

He asked, she looked so fragile as she looked up at him. He could see the horrid look in her eyes; he knew she was feeling worse than he was.

"Yea." Karin dropped her body on the floor and closed her eyes. "Fuck." She cursed, this was the only down fall to partying hard and drinking that much. Some tears prickled at the corner of her eyes and the feeling to vomit came again.

This was the worst hangover in the history of hangovers, ever.

Not to mention the bizarre dream she had, she dreamt that she was a ninja and she was an annoying one to. She be fawning over Sasuke and even though he rejected her and pushed her of him she still tried to get his attention.

How sad and lame was she? Even in the dream of them being ninjas Sasuke was obviously into Sakura.

Why would she even fawn over him? Her eyes was always on Suigetsu.

This made her think of the knucklehead blonde, Naruto would come up with this crazy idea that in his past life he was a ninja and so were they. He'd go on and on about it at times, maybe she needed to spend less time with the guy.

But then again she also dreamt about being chased by a serial killer wearing the mask form the movie series 'Scream'. Maybe it was just the alcohol.

Suigetsu made his way to the kitchen to make coffee instead for Karin, it always made him feel a little better, hopefully it'll do the same for her. She also need food and some panadol, he made a mental list. "You're up early." He looked to his left to see Shikamaru and Temari on the sofa.

Temari was hooked onto Shikamaru like a baby on its mother. He bet everyone was nursing an hangover.

"Karin's in need. Did you make coffee or anything?" Suigetsu asked, he had notice two cups in front the couple.

"Yea, we made coffee and there's bread in the top cupboard, you can make toast for her." Suigetsu nod and continued on his way.

In the kitchen Tenten and Neji sat near the counter and ate toast and drank coffee. "Morning." Tenten grunted, the girl's chocolate eyes looked drained and Neji looked a little tiered. It was funny and unfair that Neji was suffering the same symptoms as they were and still looked compose.

"Morning, got any extra toast, Karin's upstairs and needs to eat." Tenten pushed her plate with three pieces of toast to Suigetsu.

"Take this to her, I'm full anyways." He gladly took the plate and the other things up to Karin. He grin to himself for being a good boyfriend, he began wondering why he ever though he's be a horrible boyfriends to her. All those years wasted of not being with the girl he loved.

Later that day everyone had gathered up to do some cleaning. But instead they decided to call a cleaners service and spend the rest of the day by the lake. RockLee had borrowed Neji's guitar and sat down next to the guys.

Ino and Sakura were on floating chairs relaxing in the lake. They had tied the chair to some trees so they wouldn't float anyway. Tenten, Hinata and Karin had spread out on the beach chairs they had found in the arctic.

Temari was with Shikamaru and the guys. As for Matsuri, she was getting cold lemonade for everyone with Gaara and Choji.

"Guys remember that song we use to sing, our song?" Lee asked getting everyone's attention.

"Yea, Temari, Gaara, do you know, 'I'll be there for you by The Rembrants'?" Matsuri asked handing out some drinks to the others.

"Yea, it's the theme song for that show, 'Friends'. I love that show and I love the song even more." Lee smiled at her answer and grazed his fingers on the guitar strings.

When Gaara nod his answer Lee began playing the tune for the song making everyone smile and nod their heads. They knew what was coming, though Temari and Gaara was a little unsure of what was happening.

"So no one told you life was gonna be this way." Kiba and Shino began signing and like the song everyone clapped four times right after that line.

"Your job's a joke you're broke, your love life's D.O.A." Neji and Lee sang this time.

"It's like you're always stuck in second gear." Sai, Naruto and Sasuke sang this part.

"When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year...but." Shikamaru, Choji and Suigetsu sang to this part everyone nodding and getting into the song.

Sakura, Ino: "I'd be there for you."

Matsuri, Karin: "When the rain starts to pour."

Hinata, Tenten: "I'll be there for you."

Temari, Gaara, Naruto: "Like I've been there before."

Everyone: "I'll be there for you (Cause you're there for me too."

Naruto, Sasuke, Suigetsu: "You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight."

Kiba, Neji, Hinata: "You've burned your breakfast, so far things are going great,"

RockLee, Sai, Choji: "Your mother warned you there'd be days like these."

Shino, Shikamaru: "But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you to your knees and."

Karin, Sakura: "I'll be there for you."

Ino, Hinata: "When the rain starts to pour."

Tenten, Matsuri: "I'll be there for you."

Temari, Gaara: "Like I've been there before."

Everyone: "I'll be there for you. (Cause you're there for me too)."

Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Sai: "No one could ever know me. No one would ever see me."

Ino, Choji, Shikamaru: "Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me."

Hinata, Kiba, Shino: "Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with."

Tenten, Neji, RockLee: "Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you. Yeah!"

RockLee played the guitar for some time before they continued. Everyone sang this song when they were all together and wanted to cheer up. They didn't care about who could sing or not this was there song.

They had all turned to look at each other to sing. The girls and some of the guys had begun dancing in their spots and they patted their knees to the song making a rhythm. They were having fun.

Matsuri, Temari, Gaara: "It's like you're stuck in second gear."

Karin, Suigetsu: "When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year."

All the girls: "I'll be there for you."

All the guys: "When the rain starts to pour."

Girls: "I'll be there for you."

Boys: "Like I've been there before."

Girls: "I'll be there for you."

Guys; "Cause you're there for me too."

Everyone: "I'll be there for you. I'll be there for you. I'll be there for you. Cause you're there for me too..."

They finished with a loud cheer and a round of applause and RockLee stood up and bow causing everyone to clap louder and laugh with each other.

...

"How about we play a game of hide and seek for old time's sake, besides what else could we do together for now?" Sakura begged Sasuke; the girls had gotten board of lying around and decided a game would help kill time. The people had finished cleaning up ad they decided to stay at the lake for the now.

Now all the girls had to do was convince some of the guys to play along. Naruto, Choji, Kiba, RockLee and Suigetsu were up for it.

"Shikamaru!" Ino yelled and that was the defeat of him, he knew Ino could make his life a living hell if she wanted to.

"Neji come on please." Tenten and RockLee begged, Sakura was threatening Sasuke. Hinata and Kiba were convincing Shino and Temari and Matsuri was trying with Gaara.

"If you do this for me I'd let you chose whatever you want me to be and I'd dress like it for you. Whatever turns you on." Ino whispered into Sai's ear.

"I'm in." Sai announced giving into his girlfriend. Tenten had tried a similar technique on Neji and got him to agree soon after Sai. Men, it was so easy at times to control them.

"What are you scared you'd suck at it!" Naruto yelled out to Sasuke getting annoyed of waiting.

"Yea right dobe." The Uchiha grunted looking over to his best friend.

"Yep you're scared everyone would see how lame you are at this that's why you're chickening out!" Naruto spoke loudly; Sakura caught onto the blonde's plan and went along with it.

"Sasuke_kun you're scared of being a loser?" She asked dumbly with shock and even added a little gasp.

"Yea right, I'd show who's scared, I'm in." The raven hair guy knew what they were doing but he couldn't help his competitive side and he couldn't let them dent his ego.

Sakura brought a hand behind her back with open palm to give Naruto a five, so Sasuke wouldn't see them. He held back a snicker and easily gave her a five.

Shino soon joined in and everyone turned to look at Gaara. "If you don't do this we'd hold you down and put makeup on your face and worst." Temari threatened, everyone agreed to this.

Temari and Gaara had gotten pretty close to the large group of friends in a short time. It was as if they were childhood friends that knew each other ever since birth. Temari felt comfortable being herself around them. Gaara was pleased to have friends that didn't look at him as if he was some kind of demon.

"You wouldn't." Gaara took a few steps back but some of the guys held him down, he cursed at them.

"Oh Gaara my dear brother, I would ad you of all people should know that I would.' Temari smirked. So Gaara was forced to play along.

...

"One, two, three, four, five, six!" Naruto began counting loudly so everyone would hide. After 'eeny-meeny-miny-moe' Naruto was picked as the seeker. He still thought they did it on purpose.

He stood at the side of the house face covered counting until he reached forty, so everyone would hide.

Everyone had scattered of in different directions but Sakura choose to follow Shikamaru. Back then he always got the best spots and she believed he still had it in him. "Why are you following me?" He looked at her over his shoulder while running.

"I'm not." Sakura lied but grin and followed him anyway.

Sasuke and Neji had ran of separately but bounced up at the same spot. "Where are you going?" Neji asked but Sasuke ignored him and attempted to hide inside the kitchen cupboard. Neji grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him back.

"I'm going there." Neji then tried the same but Sasuke pulled him back.

"No I am." Both boys scrambled at each other in child-ishly grunting they were there first. Oh the joys of rivalry.

Hinata, Choji, Sai and Matsuri ended up in the master bedroom scrambling around. "Dibs under the bed." Matsuri dashed for the empty spot, hoping the back and front part of the bed and the sides of the bed sheet that hung to the floor would hide her.

But Choji soon joined her under the bed saying sorry, she was angry by this didn't he know what calling dibs meant. But she didn't have the heart to tell Choji to get out and she thought of using him as a shield encase, wicked? Yes, but only a little bit.

Hinata ran into the closet and Sai ran for the bathroom with a little smile on his face.

Suigetsu, Tenten and Kiba found themselves in the storage room. Tenten had forgotten about the racoon and dived in for a spot to hide. That was until it started sneering at them, "The fuck is that." Suigetsu jumped back almost jumping on Kiba.

"Shit I forgot about him." Tenten cursed looking at the critter. "Everyone out." Kiba was about to open the door but they heard Naruto shouting.

"Ready or not assholes here I come, believe it!" The three grabbed each other into a hug and covered each other's mouth. They were stuck in there with the little devil sneering at them.

When Naruto yell out, Sakura and Shikamaru where in the arctic, hiding in an old closet. The only problem was it was small and they were both very close. If Sasuke or Temari were to find them they'd properly be dead. Well not exactly but there would be allot of arguing.

Sasuke and Temari was the jealous type anywise.

Ino and RockLee hide behind some bushes a few feet away from where Naruto was. Shino, Karin and Temari were in the basement hiding.

Gaara had run into Sasuke and Neji while running around looking for a spot. He stopped to stare at the two scrambling for the cupboard and left with a warning. "He's coming."

Neji had given up and ran out the front door behind Gaara. Naruto was on a look out for everyone and anyone. He was taking his game seriously but at the same time having fun.

"So" Sakura spoke being forced to be right up on Shikamaru chest.

"So" He glanced down but looked back up feeling awkward with her head right under him. Just them Sakura spotted a big spider behind Shikamaru and squealed.

"What?" Shika murmured panicking but trying to keep it quiet.

"S-s-s-spiderrrrrrr." Sakura dropped to her knees and Shika's...err...junk was in her face. She pulled away feeling embarrassed and the cupboard rocked a little. Shika tried pulling her back up but she by mistake kneed him in the crutch and he fell over her.

Thankfully Naruto saved them by shouting out his prey's name. "RockLee is it everyone RockLee is it!" Sakura opened the door and squeezed out from under him ran out the room not even looking back.

Shikamaru came out shaking his head and holding onto his shaft in pain. He stood there for a while. He wasn't able to walk right now, the pain was too much. Laying there he made a mental note to himself to stay away from that crazy woman.

Temari felt like a kid again. Ino was 'it' now and she was running around laughing. She noticed everyone was getting into the game and so was she. Gaara had a smile on his face as he tripped Kiba and hid in the spot the boy was heading to.

Choji was trying to stuff himself into a spot he clearly couldn't fit in. Suigetsu was paying Tenten for her spot and the brunet had even accepted. Neji was trying to help RockLee hide in a cupboard while he hide in the one he had fight Sasuke for earlier on.

Karin and Matsuri were serious about hiding and hadn't been it as yet. Hinata was always with Shino and the two made a great team. Temari laugh at her friends and sibling but the funniest was her boyfriend. Shikamaru was hiding on top the roof, no one looked there and he was getting to sleep a little.

Sai was helping Ino cheat so she'd find the others and not him so it was a win-win for the two of them. Naruto had been hiding behind one of the long curtains; she had notice he would go there from time to time. The funny thing was he didn't get catch as yet.

Sasuke and Sakura were running off together as well. They were doing other things besides hiding and Sakura just needed someone to hide behind encase she got caught. If only poor Sasuke knew he was being used.

As for Temari, she was just having fun. She was so happy she had moved to Konoha and met her friends. Everyday had been a blast and she was having the time of her life with them. Especially with Shikamaru she has never love someone as much as she have loved him.

"Your it Temari. Everyone Temari's it!" Ino came from nowhere and surprised the sandy blonde girl.

It was good being a kid again. But at the same time she decaled war against the other blonde girl for sneaking up on her like that.
