Chapter 5: To be head of the Hyuga Clan
(A/N: I'm glad that people actually find my fics "funny". To be honest, it is quite hard to be humorous and to be sure that it would make other people laugh. :D Okay, this chapter probably has "implied" incest so if that bothers you….hey, wait, this is a PG-13 fic, I'm sure ya'll can handle it. Plus, I don't have anything explicit and it doesn't ONLY revolve around them two. I have my love for the other characters. ^.^ Oh, just keep in mind I don't have any spoilers or anything, so don't worry about that. Gyah, my episode 46 is downloading right now. I'm SOOO ANTICIPATED to see it! Neji called her Hinata-SAMA! *is happy* XD)
***
The second hands on the clock clicked by rapidly, as my hands were shifting in my pocket. I leaned on the dusty piano, as I closed my eyes in silence. Soft murmurings were heard throughout the room, as everyone seems to be nervous and anticipated. The numbers were running low and there is a possibility that I may be kicked out next.
I shrugged. This game didn't test strength. It tested people's social side. To see the side whether or not we are capable of being around people. I'm not sociable. I'm not talkative. I'm probably the type who would prefer actions over words. Well, whatever.
I closed my eyes as I tilted my head back. A thought ran through my brain as fast as lightening. Why did I put down her name? Why did I participate in that stupid play? Normally I would have refused. I hate my cousin with growing hatred, but why did I commit such a thing? And to make things more complicating I come back to this question, why the hell did I put her name down?
Hinata.
I lifted my right eyelid to take a peek at her. She seemed to be too busy playing with that dog. She had a huge smile on her face, as her eyes glowed with radiant happiness. She looked kind of.…cute….UGH! What am I thinking? I shook my head, as I tried to forget that thought. My cousin and I stand on different levels and for that reason I will never take a liking towards her. What a waste to put down her name.
"Neji, are you okay?"
I looked to see Ten Ten, as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
"I'm fine." I firmly said as I shrugged her hand off. She smiled reassuringly, as she gave me a small pat on the back.
"If you need anything, tell me." She smiled, as she walked towards Hinata and the dog. I watched her leave and shrugged. I didn't need anything. I could take care of myself.
"Kakashi sensei is back!" Lee took a step forward as he stood right next to me. Then he gave me a cheesy grin. "Let's hope for the best Neji."
I gave a small nod, as I looked towards the front. Kakashi sensei walked up and gave us a stupid smile.
"Ah, it seems that someone has left!" Kakashi Sensei smiled, as he disappeared the next second. Damn that guy is slick, but he's not as fast as Gai Sensei.
"NOOOOO! NARUTO'S GONE!!!!" Sasuke screamed in agony.
"WHAT? YOU'RE LYING!" Gaara stomped up to Sasuke, as he grabbed his collar.
"Na-Naruto-kun, why?" Hinata said silently, as her fists clenched up in a ball fist. I noticed her trembling, as Sasuke and Gaara continued to brawl.
"Ey, who cares, he's not THAT great and he's pretty annoying, so let's drop the subject, okay? Sasuke-kun?" Ino smiled uneasily, as she tried to stop the two.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT!" Sasuke screamed at Gaara, as Gaara glowered in even more infuriated anger.
"WHAT? IT'S YOUR FAULT!" Gaara screamed back, as he pushed Sasuke back. Sasuke tumbled backwards, as he fell to the ground. The room became silent.
"You…." Everyone winced as Sasuke began to speak. "YOU BASTARD!"
Sasuke quickly scurried up, as he pushed Gaara back. Gaara pushed back once more, as the two began to fist fight. My god….
I walked up to the two. "COOL YOUR JETS YOU TWO!" I screamed. The two stopped for an abrupt second, as they looked up at me blankly.
Sasuke's eyes began to get teary, as Gaara's was the same. They immediately let go of each other.
"Naruto's gone…." Sasuke began to sniffle a bit. You got to be kidding me. The infamous vengeful Uchiha crying over a cursed child?
"He's gone….." Gaara burst into tears as well. The most feared killing bloodlust ninja actually producing tears is a bit of a surprise as well.
Someone wake me up please and tell me this isn't reality.
"Jesus! Stop it you two! Just be thankful you guys didn't get kicked out!" Shikamaru scowled as he looked at the two with mere disgust.
"Let them be. They are mourning for their lover." Shino plainly stated.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke cried out his name with such passion. It sounded as if they were in one of those romance dramas when one of the lovers dies.
"NARUTO!" Gaara did the same.
This was…..quite….funny…. I shifted a bit as I tried to keep my laughter in. These two ninjas who I saw as rivals were acting so pitiful. I just had to pity them.
"Huh? Someone call my name?"
Everyone's eyes shifted to the stairs, as Naruto came down scratching his butt.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke and Gaara ran up to him, as they hugged him.
"Hey, get off me! I have to wash my hands!" Naruto looked at the two confused. "I just came out from taking a dump because you guys kept screaming my name."
Sasuke and Gaara immediately let go.
"Uh, we'll wash our hands too." Sasuke looked at Gaara as Gaara nodded.
The three idiots quickly washed their hands as they came back down.
"Na-Naruto-kun!" Hinata whispered in happiness to herself. Was she that happy for this stupid guy?
"Haha, I was seriously constipating so I went to the bathroom right after turning in my vote. Hehe." Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Who's gone?"
We all looked around.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto cried out.
"What?" Kiba asked, as he held Akamaru.
"Sakura-chan is gone!" Naruto cried out. "Sakura-chan….."
Eh, I don't know what's so special about that girl. She was pretty annoying to me. And that other blond girl was equally annoying as well.
"Haha! It's about time Sakura is gone!" Ino cried out in sheer happiness.
"That girl was pretty annoying…." Gaara muttered.
"Sakura-san…." Lee sounded a bit disappointed. "I guess she didn't make it…."
"Whatever. Be thankful your still here!" Kiba cried out as he scratched his head.
"Kiba's right. Everyone shut up and forget this Sakura girl. You don't see us 'mourning' for the others." I snapped.
Everyone shut up as they remained silent. The room became silent once more.
"Well, um, I'll tend to breakfast!" Hinata quickly placed on an apron as she scurried into the kitchen.
"Okay and I'll help!" Ten Ten followed Hinata as she went into the kitchen as well.
"Argh, my stomach hurts," Naruto ran back upstairs. Sasuke and Gaara followed him, which I find quite strange.
"I'll try to help Hinata as well," Ino walked into the kitchen.
Shikamaru fell back asleep on the couch, as Shino kept molesting Kiba. I shrugged as a thought came up into my mind.
"Lee, come here." I motioned him to come to me.
"Yeah?"
I placed a hand on his shoulder and decided to kiss him out of boredom. I was an inch away from his face until the kitchen door swiftly opened.
"HEY!" Ino came up to me and Lee, as I quickly moved back. Damn that girl…..
"Yes?" Lee asked.
"Um, Hinata needs help. She's looking for this certain cooking utensil, that beater thingy and she swears she saw it in a closet. There are two closets, so can you Lee check the one upstairs and Neji check the one in the corner?" Ino asked.
"Why should I help her?" I asked.
"Come on Neji, just help her." Lee nudged.
"She feeds you." Ino said, as she left back into the kitchen.
I shrugged as I headed towards the closet in the corner. I opened the door and went in, as the door shut behind me. I turned on the light. This closet was pretty small. It was the size of two bathroom stalls put together from your local mall. I looked around at the stacks of boxes and sneezed numerous times from the dust.
Where the hell was it? I checked box after box rummaging through scrap paper and random objects. The searching was pretty much time consuming and I didn't see any signs of any utensils.
The door abruptly opened, as Hinata looked at me in surprise. Her face flushed red, as she gasped a bit. The door shut closed behind her. We just stared at each other for a few long seconds.
"Um....Um….I uh, came to check….and….uh….I….I didn't know….yo-you would be here….so…..I…." Hinata stuttered, as she backed up. I stared at her with hatred in my eyes. How dare she even speak to me!
"I'm sorry!" Hinata quickly apologized as she saw the glare in my eyes. "I-I'll leave right away!"
Her hand was on the doorknob as she turned it, but….the door did not budge.
"Ah….." Hinata's face was red as a cherry tomato.
I raised my eyebrow, as I walked to the door and turned the knob.
We were stuck.
"Damn it….." I muttered under my breath. What am I suppose to do alone with her?!
I looked at Hinata, as she cowered a bit. Then she walked a bit towards me. "Um-Um, thank you for helping."
"I was asked to do this. It's not from my free will." I said, as I continued to search.
Hinata didn't say anything, as she grabbed the next box and started to look through it. I watched her cough and sneeze constantly. The air was pretty bad in this cramped closet.
"I'll do it." I took the box from her hand.
"I want to help."
"Your lungs will be filled with dust if you keep breathing the air in."
"Oh…."
Wait. Why did I even care? Why would I care if she got dust in her lungs? It's not my problem, it's hers. DAMN IT.
I searched thoroughly and finally found the utensil. "Here." I tossed the utensil to Hinata.
"Th-thank you!" Hinata cried out, as she cradled the utensil in her arms.
"Whatever." I shrugged. Now the problem is was for us to get out. There was an awkward silence, as the two of us avoided eye contact.
Then I heard a small thump, as Hinata was sitting on the floor. I guess it couldn't be helped. We were stuck and we would have to wait for someone to open the door for us.
I rapped on the door and shouted. "Someone open this door!"
This was a small house. Surely someone will open the door.
The door finally blew opened.
"THERE YOU GUYS ARE!" Ino cried out, as her hand was still on the doorknob. Hinata and I both reacted to this.
"Hey! Stay where you are!" I cried out.
"Huh? Why?" Ino let go of the doorknob, as the door closed shut.
That idiot.
"Because we can't get out." I snapped.
"WHAT? NO WAY!" Ino cried out, as she reached for the doorknob. Surely enough, the door didn't budge one bit.
"Damn it….." I muttered.
"Ah, haha, it wasn't my fault!" Ino scratched her head with an apologetic face.
"Shut up! It was!" I said sharply.
"She-She didn't know!" Hinata cried out. This was the first time I heard her raise her voice. I looked at her with a deep glower in my eyes.
"Whatever. Let's just wait for someone to get us out." I shrugged and leaned my head back.
"Yeah, I suppose so," Ino sat down as she scooted more towards Hinata. I didn't care. I was stuck with two people I highly dislike. What can be worse?
There was complete silence for a few minutes, as I finally placed my ear on the door. How come I couldn't hear anything? Surely I would hear vast mumblings or footsteps, but I didn't hear anything.
"Byakugan!" I looked through the door to see that it was two inches thick.
"What do you see?" Ino asked.
"Shit. This door is thick." I punched it. This sucks.
"It's okay. I have a loud voice." Ino grinned, as she huffed a bit. "HELP ME! FIRE! RAPE! HELP! OPEN THIS DOOR!!! HELP ME!!!!! GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY IS GONNNAAAAA RAPPPPPEEEEE MEEEEEEEEE!!!"
"When you say rape, I hope you aren't referring to me." I snapped.
"Haha, of course!" Ino smiled uneasily.
But no one came to our aid.
"This is SUCH a waste of time. REALLY! I could do so much other PRODUCTIVE things and I am just so HUNGRY. My stomach is growling! Did you hear that Hinata, it was a big growl, huh? Anyways, my fingernails got dirty. I better get it done after I win this game. Also, I need to take another bath. Seriously, I feel so dirty. Remember when we took a bath? It was fun, huh? Ohh, there goes another growl….hahah….I'm embarrassed….."
I tried hard to keep my cool but the nonstop chattering of that annoying woman was quite aggravating. I wanted to punch her and knock her out just to keep her from talking. I couldn't take it anymore. Her random talks were giving me a headache!
"Ino-chan, please lowered the tone, it may be disruptive to others," Hinata pleaded, as she took one glance at me.
"Eh? Neji won't mind! I'm sure he finds my talking amusing. HAHAHAHAHA!" Ino boasted.
"Shut up." I snapped.
Ino paused for a second. "Are you telling me to shut up? Why? IF I shut up its going to be complete silence and everything is soo boring and this is such a waste of time. If I only you guys warned me sooner then I wouldn't have closed the door…."
I stood up and walked towards her and grabbed her arm. I noticed that Hinata's eyes widened a bit.
"Neji. You aren't going to do what I think your going to do are you?" Ino's eyes widened. Did she think I was going to rape her? I rather kill myself than to even kiss her.
"Annoying woman…." I punched her in the stomach, as she slid in my arms. I dropped her unconscious body, as Hinata swiftly caught her.
"Ino-chan!" Hinata cried out, as she placed Ino's body gently leaning on the wall. She looked up to me with fear in her eyes.
"Why did you that?" Hinata asked timidly.
"To shut her up."
"Are you going to punch me as well?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because…."
I looked at her in the eye. Why? Why wasn't I going to punch her as well?
"I don't know…." I clenched my fists. Why?
Hinata smiled warmly at me, although I still saw a little bit of fear in her eyes. She inched up closer to me and touched my arm. Strangely I didn't push her away.
"I was surprised when you participated in that play for me." Hinata's cheeks blushed into a rosy color. "I was happy."
"Well, I just did it because I had nothing better to do!" I shrugged, but I felt my cheeks getting warm.
"Oh…." Hinata looked a teeny bit disappointed. "I….I voted for you."
My eyes widened. She voted for me? Why? Doesn't she always vote for that Naruto guy?
I remained silent for awhile, as I hesitated. Should I tell her that I voted for her as well? Or should I keep it in? Well, it's not like we are going to get anything out of it. We ARE cousins….but then again some cousin get married. My god, why the hell am I thinking beyond the horizons?
"Me too." I softly mumbled. Hinata's eyes widened. Her hand was still on my arm. Shit. Maybe I do have an affection for her, but I didn't want to admit it. I refuse to. It's too embarrassing…...but…..damn it! Why the hell does her face look so damn cute?
"I….I….." I wondered if I should confess, but what if she doesn't feel the same. She likes that Naruto guy way better than me. "I…."
"HINATA!" The door swiftly opened, as Kiba came in. We watched with widened eyes, as Kiba's hand playfully played with the door knob.
"Ki-Kiba-kun!" Hinata cried out in alarm, as she looked at his hand.
"Hinata! Why are you so close to him?" Kiba let go of the door, as it closed behind him. "I was looking all over for you!"
"YOU IDIOT!" I shouted.
"Wha-? What are you getting upset over Hinata's cousin?"
"I have a name." How dare he refers me to just plain old 'Hinata's cousin'.
"Right right. Anyways, let's go." Kiba pulled up Hinata's arm, as he reached for the door. "Eh?"
"It's locked. Don't bother to try to open it. It won't budge." I snapped.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Kiba cried out.
"We tried Kiba-kun, but…." Hinata looked to the side.
"Shit." Kiba grumbled, as he sat down. Then he noticed Ino on the side. "What happened to her?"
"She fainted." I mumbled.
"From what?" Kiba asked.
"Because you came in here." I snapped.
"Oh really….." Kiba glared at Ino. "WELL IT'S NICE TO KNOW YOU FAINTED BECAUSE OF ME!"
That guy is really an idiot.
I leaned my head back. It was rare for me to be alone with Hinata and it makes it difficult if another person was here as well, especially this guy. I knew he likes Hinata, so it makes things a bit difficult.
"Hey." I nudged Kiba.
"What?"
"You want to see the real reason how Ino is knocked out like that?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." I punched Kiba in the stomach, as he got knocked out as well.
Hinata's eyes widened once more, as she caught Kiba and placed him gently on the wall. "Kiba-kun…."
"He was getting in the way." I muttered.
Damn it. I couldn't hold it any longer. I tell myself that I hate my cousin, but in reality….in reality…..
"Hello! You guys playing hiding go seek?" Naruto grinned, as he quickly shut the door behind him. "Let me play too!"
I clenched my fists in anger. Just as I got rid of the other guy, another loser comes in. To make it worst, he happens to be Hinata's love interest.
"OH HO HO! Hinata-chan is here too!" Naruto grinned, as he took a seat besides her. Then he placed his arm around her, as Hinata's face flushed with happiness.
Damn it. I think I'm jealous.
"Ah, Na-Naruto-kun," Hinata smiled gently at the sight of Naruto's hand on her shoulder.
"Ah! Hinata-chan! You have a dust ball on your shoulder, let me get it off," Naruto patted her shoulder, as he blew the dust ball off.
"Thank you," Hinata smiled cheerfully. "Oh! You must be hungry!"
"Yeah, I am. My stomach's grumbling." Naruto grinned.
"Ah, I should go back to my preparing." Hinata sighed.
"How come you're hiding? Naruto asked, as his eyes shifted to Kiba and Ino. "Whoa. What happened to those two?"
"We are locked in this damn closet and these two fainted because I told them we would be trapped here for a thousand years and don't you think you're a bit TOO close to Hinata?" I growled.
"Ah, sorry Hinata-chan! If I made you uncomfortable that is." Naruto quickly let go as I saw a small bit of disappointment in Hinata's face. Then Naruto's face expression changed, as he kneeled up to me and whispered.
"Are we really going to be trapped here for a thousand years?"
His gullible ness was quite amusing. I nodded.
"Really? Then why aren't you panicking? What are we going to do? I have so many things to do in life! Damn it!" Naruto cursed as if this was a serious matter. Hey, it wasn't the end of the world.
"Want me to help you?" I asked, as Naruto nodded and Hinata's eyes widened once more.
"Ne-Neji! No!" Hinata grabbed my arm. "Not Naruto."
Naruto looked up, confused. "Not Naruto what?"
"Too late." I smirked, as I punched him in the stomach as well.
"Naruto-kun…." Hinata mumbled softly, as she gently placed him next to Kiba. Then she turned to me with teary eyes. "Why Naruto?"
I clenched my fists and remained silent.
"Why….?" Hinata hugged Naruto's body, as she started to cry. My god, it's not like he's dead or anything. But then the sight of her hugging his body like that made me feel jealous. Would she hug my body if someone knocked me out? Damn it…..
"Why?! WHY?! BECAUSE I'M JEALOUS DAMN IT!" I cried out.
"Jealous of what? OH MY GAWD! WHAT HAPPENED TO NARUTO?" Sasuke cried out, as he immediately let go of the doorknob before we could stop him.
Sasuke took a hold of Naruto's body, as he grabbed him from Hinata. Hinata seemingly refused to let go as the two were hogging over his body. My god, why do people come in at the wrong moments?
"I'm sorry Sasuke-kun." Hinata apologized, as she did gentle fists on him. Sasuke immediately knocked out, as Hinata placed him beside Ino. I looked at Hinata with a surprised expression. Well, I guess it doesn't matter; I was planning to knock him out anyways.
"Damn it….why is everything so fucking wrong?" I snapped.
Hinata hugged Naruto's body one last time, as she left his body near Kiba. She nudged closer to me and smiled. "Thank you. For being kind."
I said nothing, as I felt my face turn red. Then I had an urge. An urge to kiss her.
I grabbed her shoulders and….
"What are you guys doing?"
I stopped, as I looked up to see Gaara.
"Well, it's none of my business….NARUTO!" Gaara let go of the doorknob, as he rushed to Naruto's side. "What have you done to him?"
"Want me to show you?" I asked, as Gaara glared at me. His hand caressed Naruto's cheek.
"Hmmm, having him like this makes it such an easy advantage for me to do something….." Gaara licked his lips, as Hinata gasped. "But then again, out of curiosity, show me."
But I thought again. I have seen his moves. What if he produces that sand barrier? But I remembered that he can only do that with his gourd. Luckily he didn't have it with him. I inched up closer to him and punched him.
Gaara smirked as he grabbed my hand. "I saw that coming. I'm not easy to knock out."
Gaara lifted his arm to punch me, but stopped midway. I looked as Hinata performed gentle fists on him. "I'm sorry…."
She placed Gaara's body besides Naruto. Wow, this room was being covered with unconscious bodies.
Bah, I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed her shoulders and kissed her. Hinata's eyes widened as I felt her become a bit stiff. Then she began to relax and kiss back.
I was happy. If this is what you call happiness. Was it love? Was it lust? I don't know. I was never loved.
Hinata pulled apart as she gasped for air. Her face turned bright red, as she realized what she had done. Was she embarrassed? Was she ashamed? Was she happy?
"I…." Hinata blushed, as she placed her fingertips over her lips.
"Interesting….Kiba looks so adorable unconscious, don't you think so?"
"Sh-Shino-kun!" Hinata gasped.
"When did you get in here?" I asked.
"Just a second ago."
Damn, that guy is slick, but I didn't want him to ruin my time with Hinata, but I think he saw through me.
"I don't mind. Just let me mind my own business." Shino stated. "I know these guys ALL didn't faint on purpose."
I hesitated. It would be a little bit embarrassing, but this guy is always silent. I suppose I can trust him. "Very well."
Shino nodded, as he picked up Kiba and who knows what he's planning to do with the knocked out body.
I turned my attention away from him, as I looked at Hinata once more. Damn my wavering feelings. Damn myself.
"Hinata, I-"
The door slammed opened once more, as I turned to see who in heaven's name would barge in on such a moment.
"THERE YOU GUYS ARE!" Ten Ten cried out.
"Ten Ten…." I mumbled.
"Whoa, it's like everyone is here." Ten Ten looked around the room, as she let go of the doorknob.
"Ten Ten!" I cried out.
"What?"
"You closed the door."
"Then I'll open it." Ten Ten grasped the knob, as it didn't budge. "Uh-oh."
I clasped my hand over my head. The only two who were not in here was Shikamaru and Lee. Our chance of getting out of here was limited.
"Why don't we break the door down?" Ten Ten suggested, as she pulled out a kunai.
"I tried." Shino said, as his face turned back to Kiba.
"Oh…." Ten Ten mumbled. "Ah, sorry."
"I'll forgive you in one way." I smiled at her.
She leaned closer to me. "Ah, okay, which is?"
I pushed her, as she knocked out. Bleh, I have a tendency to this to anyone just to spend time with my damn cousin.
I turned to Hinata once more.
"TEN TEN!" Lee immediately let go the doorknob as he ran to Ten Ten's aid.
I sigh. Even if I wanted to spend time with Hinata, I couldn't bring myself to hit Lee. I was somehow attracted to him too.
Lee looked at all the knocked out people around him, as Ino began to stir awake.
"Eh? What happened?" Ino rubbed her eyes. "I had such a nice dream."
"Damn, you woke up." I mumbled.
"Gyah! You!" Ino jumped up as she remembered what happened. She hugged onto the body next to her, which happened to be Sasuke. "Ah! Sasuke-kun! What happened?" Her eyes wandered down to the people who have all been knocked out.
I ignored her, as I faced Lee. "Should we break the door down?"
"Let's hope for Shikamaru to open the door for us…." Lee mumbled. "But the last time I checked, he was sleeping."
"Damn it." I mumbled.
"Eh, Shikamaru, eh?" Ino stood up. "SHIKAMARU! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP AND OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR THIS MINUTE!"
"He can't hear you stupid." I mumbled.
But the next second the door opened.
"Huh? You called, Ino?" Shikamaru rubbed his eyes lazily.
"Shikamaru, stand still and stay there." Ino motioned him to stay.
"Why?" Shikamaru let go of the doorknob as it closed once more.
"FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cried out, as I punched the wall.
"What?" Shikamaru looked at me confused. "Just opened the door."
He opened the door and stopped. "Ah, it is closed…."
I glowered. We were all in here. Stuck. No way to get out.
And I still didn't confess to Hinata.
Damn it.
"AR! ARR! AR AR!"
A vague barking sound was heard.
Akamaru.
I nudge Kiba awake. "Wake up."
Kiba groggily woke up, as he rubbed his eyes. "Huh? Akamaru?"
Kiba abruptly ran to the door. "Akamaru! Akamaru!"
"Ar! Arrr! Arr!"
"Open the door Akamaru!" Kiba shouted through the door.
"Ar! Arrrr! Ar! Ar!"
"What? You can't open the door? You need hands?"
"Ar! Arrrrrrr! Arrrr"
"You can do it Akamaru! Just jump and turn the knob!"
"AR ARRRR!"
"Come on! Try again!"
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
The door clicked open, as Kiba immediately pushed it open. We all gasped for air with sheer happiness.
"FINALLY!" Ino stretched her arms, as she breathed in the fresh air.
"You saved the day Akamaru," Kiba hugged his dog.
"Ugh….." Naruto slowly woke up, as Hinata ran to his side.
"Na-Naruto-kun, are you alright?" Hinata helped him up, as her face flushed red.
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine," Naruto smiled.
I watched Hinata's brightened face as I let out a small sigh. I guess it didn't matter anymore. The only guy she truly liked is Naruto. I can't compete with that, not like I really care…..
After all, we are just cousins.
"MY GAWD! Its so dark outside!" Ino cried out. "Shikamaru, what time is it?"
"Why don't you look yourself?" Shikamaru grumbled as he walked towards the clock. "Its 10:30….PM…."
Everyone looked around in deep astonishment. The next minute all our stomachs grumbled.
"Ah! I'll go make something!" Hinata flushed as she ran into the kitchen.
Soon after Gaara and Sasuke and Ten Ten woke up as well. We all ate ramen for dinner and fell asleep in the living room.
***
I groaned, as I rubbed my eyes to see all the scattered people sleeping on the ground. I guess I was the first to wake up. I looked to my side and notice that I ended up sleeping on the couch. I felt two pair of arms around me and noticed Lee's arm on my face and Ten Ten's arm on my leg. Whaddaya know, all three of us were scrunched up on this puny couch. I pushed them off and stood up as I looked at the room around me. Everyone was sleeping on the ground in random places.
I looked to the side where Hinata slept. She slept peacefully near Ino and Akamaru. I didn't want to disturb anyone so I took a drink of water in the kitchen. The next second everyone as stirring awake.
"Hah, I guess we don't have to wait for everyone to get here." Kakashi appeared in the center of the room as he smiled down upon us. "Makes me kind of wonder what you guys did yesterday, but not like it concerns me."
"I NEVER WANT TO BE NEAR A CLOSET EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!" Ino shouted, as everyone nodded their heads.
