Title: A Very Short Chapter

Everyone sat in the living room as the television was on showing a random television show. Steam and the strong aroma of chicken and hot chili wafted into the room touching everyone's nose.

"Is everyone ready for dinner?" Hinata called out from the counter as Sasuke eyed her as he sat near the counter drinking from a glass. Sakura turned her head from a conversation with Neji and nodded her head as the others walked up to the table.

The lavender-haired young girl gave plates to Shino so he could hand them out to the roommates and chopsticks were passed down along with napkins and other utensils necessarily for their dinner. Hinata came into the dining room with a big pot in her hands. Taking steps carefully hopefully not to spill any, Hinata headed to the table where everyone tried to help her settle it onto the wooden table.

A/N: I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but usually at home we have "DA BEAN LO" it's in cantonese...it's this huge pot and you boil vegetables, seafood, shrimp, and those nice balls of stuff...well anyway on with the story...

"Hey...where's Naruto?" Hinata put her gloves away from the hot pot and placed it back in the kitchen and sat in her seat beside Sakura. There was an empty seat on Hinata's other side and wondered if Naruto was still asleep from his 3 hour nap.

"Well...why don't you guys go dig in first, I'm going to go get Naruto," Hinata stood up and patted her apron before she made her way to Naruto's bedroom.

The young girl walked in and paused in front of her boyfriend's bed. There was a nice lump behind the sheets on the bed. She walked over and bent her knees and gazed into those cute closed eyes. Hinata became startled when Naruto made a full 360 turn and Hinata giggled softly.

She placed her smooth hand on his face and kissed his cheek. Naruto stirred at her touch.

"Naruto...wake up," she whispered in his ear. At the sound of her voice, his ears perked up like a little fox and he opened his eyes revealing shiny blue pearls. "Come on, time for dinner..." Hinata placed her arm around him and helped him up as Naruto scratched one of his eyes as he took in the light coming from the dining room.

When Naruto sat next to Hinata, he eagerly held up his chopsticks and smiled a huge grin as he eyed the huge pot in the middle of the table while everyone was eating quietly muttering small conversations among each other. The blonde stared at the girl beside him and whispered to her, "Hinata...what's for dinner?"

Swallowing a piece of shrimp she had just eaten, she looked over and answered to him, "seafood and chicken, it's my latest concoction, I hope you like it," Hinata felt herself blush in the cheeks.

An hour later, Naruto kissed Hinata good night as he headed to his bedroom after he ate as Hinata washed the dishes. Temari was cleaning the table as Sakura dried the dishes that Hinata had washed. The guys were relaxing on the furniture as the girls did the housework.

"He sure sleeps a lot Hinata, are you worried about him?" Temari got a towel and rinsed it in the nearest sink near Hinata.

"No, he sleeps like a cuddly teddy bear..." Hinata sweetly answered her.

"You're lucky, Neji sleeps like a rock. It's kind of scary sometimes. Whenever I go over to him, he doesn't move...it's like he's dead," Sakura gave a little shiver as she dried the dishes.

"Guys are slobs at times...you see? They're watching television now while we are working our butts off just to clean up after dinner, and besides, when are they getting jobs? We're not going to be able to afford the bills for another week without someone getting a paycheck to support us," Ten-Ten pointed out the information as she got a broom and swept the floor.

"Don't worry, they'll get jobs or else I'll beat their butt!" Temari winked at the girls as she felt something cuddling between her bare legs because she was wearing tight shorts that night.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" the shrieking blonde held the broom tight and tried to smash whatever the object was that was trying to touch her legs.

"Temari calm down!" Hinata picked up the poor little curled up ball and petted its small head.

"YOU AGAIN! GET AWAY FROM ME...YOU THING!!" Temari pointed an evil finger at Akamaru as it barked in response in a cheerful way.

"Don't say that to Akamaru, he's a sweet thing," Sakura wiped her hands with a dried towel and headed over to Hinata to land a little kiss on Akamaru's head. Later she headed off to meet up with Neji right when the door opened.

"Today was horrible, I tried to get a job but then people started to look at me weirdly!" Ino rushed in holding her shiny new black purse beside her tight black skirt. The girls stared at her and knew why the people were looking at her in an unusual manner.

"What? Do I look like a hooker to you? Ok, so I was waiting for a cab and these guys were whistling at me and then out of nowhere Shikamaru came up from behind me and started telling them off," Ino sighed as she sat down in one of the dining chairs.

"What was he doing there?" Sakura slowly sat down next to her friend.

"He said that he was also looking for a job, yeah right, he doesn't look like the kind that works." the young blonde sighed hopelessly as Hinata walked over to the living room and dropped Akamaru gently on the couch as it trotted to sit next to Kiba and Shino.

Just then, a loud noise was heard from Naruto's bedroom and everyone stopped what they were doing and peered to their sides to see what was going on. Naruto came out in his pajamas and had a huge grin on his mouth and held out a thumbs up sign. He obviously had an idea.

"Naruto? Are you all right?" Hinata slowly walked up to him and held his hand tightly.

Gazing at everyone in the room, Naruto chuckled and informed his roommates, "Everyone, I am going to start a restuarant!"
