New Year's Eve
Blah- what's happening in the movie
Blah- talking
Blah- thinking
Ding-Dong! It was eight o' clock, December 31st.
Sasuke groaned. "Not again," he mumbled.
"Sasuke-teme, open up!" came Naruto's voice on the other side of the door.
Sasuke didn't budge. "Go away," he mumbled.
"OPEN UP!" Naruto's voice demanded then there was loud banging on the door.
"Naruto stop it!" he heard a girl shout right away knowing it was Sakura.
"If I was Uchiha I wouldn't want to see you either dobe," he heard Neji comment coldly to Naruto.
"It's cold out here, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto bellowed.
"Naruto-kun, calm down," came Hinata's timid voice.
"Go away!" Sasuke shouted.
"Open up, Sasuke!" came Ino's booming voice.
"Come on, Sasuke. We don't want to wait to the end of the year," Kakashi shouted.
Sasuke grumbled a few curse words and something about stupid holidays and reluctantly opened the door.
"It's about time!" Naruto shouted pushing passed him.
"Weren't you all just here last week?" Sasuke questioned.
"Good to see you too, Sasuke-san," Gasha commented dryly.
"That was Christmas, this is New Year's," Lee stated, his teeth gleaming.
Sasuke twitched.
"I brought sparkling cider for the kids and wine for the adults," Gai said holding up glass bottles.
"Yea! I'm finally an adult!" Lee shouted.
Neji and TenTen's eyes bugged out of their heads. "Gai-sensei, is that wise?" TenTen questioned.
"Uh, maybe you shouldn't have alcohol, Lee," Gai told Lee.
"Demo," Lee pouted.
"No buts about it," Neji said.
"So, what do we now?" Naruto asked.
"You can leave," Sasuke responded.
They all looked at him.
"But we don't wanna!" Kakashi pouted.
"Let's play Twister," Sakura suggested.
Some of the boys shuttered.
"Uh, what's Twister?" Naruto questioned.
"It's the most troublesome game," Shikamaru replied.
"But," Kakashi rubbed his hands together.
"The senseis can't play, you can just spin the wheel," Ino stated.
"Oh," Kakashi whined.
"Stop your blabbering Kakashi," Kurenai ordered.
"Yes, sugarlips, I mean Kurenai," Kakashi corrected himself.
Kakashi and Kurenai's old teams shuddered.
"Oo, oo, me first!" Naruto said raising his hand.
Kakashi spun the wheel. "Right hand yellow."
Naruto easily complied.
"There is no way I am playing such a childish game," Sasuke muttered.
"Left foot blue, Sasuke," Kakashi ordered.
"Nani? I'm not playing," Sasuke stated.
"Onegai?" Sakura gave him a puppy dog pout.
Sasuke grumbled and put his foot on a blue circle.
"Right hand red, Neji," Kakashi told the Hyuuga.
"You've got to be kidding me," Neji replied.
"Come on, lighten up Neji," TenTen stated, she pushed him to the mat.
Neji grumbled as he put his hand on red. "There, happy?" he glared at TenTen.
She smiled. "Overjoyed," she replied. "Spin that wheel Kakashi!" Kakashi nodded and looked at the board. It ended up on right foot green. TenTen smiled. "Sorry Neji, but I'm gonna win this."
Neji looked at her. "We'll see."
Sakura smiled as Kakashi spun the wheel. "Left foot red," she stated putting her hand down. She smiled at the three already down.
Kakashi spun again. "Shikamaru, left foot yellow," he stated giving the Nara a smile.
Shikamaru mumbled under her breath. "Troublesome." He lazily sat his foot down.
Ino rubbed her hands together as she put her right foot on yellow right by the circle the Nara was. "Don't fall Shika."
Naruto looked at Hinata. "You're next Hinata-chan!"
Kakashi looked at the Hyuuga heiress. "Left foot blue."
Hinata nodded and placed her foot on the circle. She looked at Naruto who was grinning at her; she turned pink in the cheeks.
Gasha waited for her turn then smiled as she got left hand red. "I love this game!" she exclaimed as she placed her hand on the circle. "Now you go, BooBear," she stated glancing at Gaara.
"BooBear?" everyone looked at Gaara whose face was the same color of his hair.
"Just spin the damn wheel," he mumbled in embarrassment. He got right foot green.
Eventually during the game, they all seemed tangled with Shikamaru at the bottom.
"I swear if any of you fall," Shikamaru mumbled sweat dropping and mentally cursing the creator of the game.
Sakura smiled as she was face-to-face to Sasuke whose back was facing Neji's. "Hi, Sasuke-kun."
"Hi," Sasuke muttered in annoyance.
"If you fall Uchiha," Neji warned looking at the wall, so his face wouldn't be in TenTen's rear.
TenTen didn't like the position she was in either. "Ino, get your hair out of my face."
Gasha was humming a tune, her more toward the top of the pile. She looked at the back of her fiancé's head. "Having fun, BooBear?" she questioned.
"Yeah, loads," Gaara hissed.
Ino was face-to-face to the Nara, second to the bottom. "This is troublesome, Shika."
"Don't steal my word," Shikamaru warned.
"This is fun guys," Naruto announced at the top.
"Easy for you to say," Shikamaru muttered.
"S-spin please," Hinata pleaded with Kakashi, she was below Naruto.
Kakashi grinned. "Right foot blue, Neji," he announced.
"I'll try," Neji mumbled but before he could move….
"Aaaa…." Naruto was on the verge of sneezing.
"Don't you dare," Shikamaru ordered.
"Aaaa…"
"No, don't do it, Naruto," Sakura begged.
"Aaaaa….."
"Dobe," Sasuke warned.
"Aaa…"
Shikamaru stretched his arm out to put a finger under Naruto's nose. Then he realized his mistake.
"You idiot," Gaara grumbled as they all fell.
THUD!Shikamaru and Ino's headed collided and their lips smacked, TenTen smacked heads with Ino, Neji's face cheek went on TenTen's butt, Sakura's lips went over Sasuke's as their heads smacked, Gaara's head smacked Sasuke's back, Gasha put her arms over her face in reflex and landed on Gaara's back, Hinata's head collided with Gasha, and Naruto was the bread of the sandwich.
The onlookers' eyes went wide.
"Now I'm really glad I didn't join," Chouji stated.
Lee blinked.
Shikamaru groaned in pain. "Ino, you're right, you do need to lose weight," he mumbled between the 'kiss.'
Ino's face turned red. "Shikamaru," her own voice was muffled.
"Wow," Naruto stated.
Kurenai took a picture setting off a flash.
"You didn't," Sasuke's voice was also muffled by Sakura's lips. "Sakura, get off."
"I would, but I can't," Sakura stated.
"Hey, loser on top, get off," Gaara demanded.
Naruto stood up and helped Hinata. Gasha then lifted herself up a bit so she wasn't pressed against Gaara. "Oh my back," she groaned.
"Any day now," Neji hissed, his face tinted with red. TenTen's face was as red as a beet.
"Fine," Gasha stated as she propped herself up and Gaara in pursuit. "Are you alright, Gaara-kun?"
"Swell," Gaara responded through gritted teeth.
Sakura then lifted herself up, blushing as her lips left Sasuke's. "Sorry," she mumbled as Sasuke got onto his feet. Neji pounced up and dusted himself off. TenTen then bounced to her feet glaring at Neji.
Slap!
Neji put his hand to his red cheek. "What the hell was that for?" he questioned.
"Pervert!" TenTen spat, her face flushed with anger.
"What? You're the one that came under me," Neji stated and everyone chuckled. "Let me rephrase that, it's the dumb game's fault."
"Ino, you can get up now," Sakura stated looking at her friend smiling.
"Oh right," Ino said then got to her feet.
Shikamaru stretched out along the mat. "Kami, why?" he questioned the ceiling.
"Are you disappointed that your kiss ended?" Jiraiya asked smirking.
"No, I can't feel my arms…or my legs…or my head," Shikamaru answered holding onto his head, sitting up.
"That was a show," Kakashi clapped.
"So, what now?" Chouji asked.
Neji kept his hand on his cheek. "No games," he stated.
"For once, it's not my fault, it was Shikamaru's," Naruto stated scratching his head.
"Ugh," Shikamaru groaned.
"Get up, Shikamaru," Ino insisted grabbing onto the genius's arm as she pulled him up.
"Ow," Shikamaru muttered.
Neji rubbed his sore cheek.
TenTen crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm never playing Twister again," she vowed.
"What? It was fun," Naruto stated.
"Let's eat," Chouji said going to the snack table.
"Yeah, let's," Gasha stated, dragging Gaara and herself over to the table.
"Shall we?" Ino asked outstretching both of her arms for her friends.
"We shall," Sakura replied as she hooked with Ino's left arm, TenTen taking Ino's right, and Hinata taking Sakura's left arm as the girls went to get snacks.
After grabbing some snacks, they gathered in the Uchiha living room and scattered out, sitting on the floor or chairs or couches.
Kakashi went to the TV and held up two of the movies he had brought. "Which one? Titanic? Or The Ring?" he questioned.
"The Ring," Sasuke muttered in reply.
"No chick flicks," Shikamaru stated.
"I say Titanic," Ino said crossing her arms over her chest.
"The Ring," all the guys chorused.
"I doesn't matter to me," Kakashi stated.
"As long as I get to cuddle with BooBear," Gasha implied snuggling Gaara's arm and kissing his cheek.
"BooBear," Naruto said making kissing noises at Gaara in mockery.
"Urusei," Gaara demanded poking the blonde in the head.
"He hurt me, Buttercup," Naruto whined to Hinata.
Hinata blushed from the nickname her boyfriend just gave her.
"Buttercup? Naruto gave Hinata-chan a nickname?" Sakura questioned.
"Looks like it," Ino claimed nodding. "It's cute."
TenTen looked at Hinata with a jealous look. "I want a nickname," she pouted.
"Fine here's one, baka," Neji said pulling her down on the floor.
"You call a lot of people that," TenTen complained. "I want it to be unique."
"Like what?" Neji asked.
"I don't know, you think of one, BunBun," TenTen giggled as she uttered a nickname for the Hyuuga.
Neji fell onto his back onto the hardwood floor. "Nani?"
Everyone snickered as the usually calm male almost shouted.
"You heard me, BunBun," TenTen stated with another giggle.
"I think it's kind of cute," Lee said.
"A good way to express youth," Gai added in agreement.
"Then you have the dumb name," Neji barked.
"But it's much better if you have it, BunBun," TenTen stated smiling.
"Just put the movie in," Sasuke muttered.
Kakashi nodded and placed the movie in the DVD player.
The phone rang.
Gasha buried her head in Gaara's shoulder. "Save me, Gaara-kun," she muttered.
"Gasha, it's not even scary," Gaara mumbled.
"You will die in seven days," rang a creaky voice.
"I don't want to die, Gaara-kun," Gasha stated.
"You're not going to die from watching a movie," Gaara reasoned.
"But they did," Gasha said her lips pouting.
Gaara sighed. "I'll protect you," he vowed.
Her lips pouted. "What about my nickname?" Gasha questioned.
A tint of red came to Gaara's cheeks. "Gasha, not here."
"Onegai?" she begged.
Everyone kept his or her eyes on the TV while secretly listening.
"I'll protect you…Sedussa," Gaara whispered through gritted teeth.
"Sedussa?" Naruto exclaimed laughing.
Gasha smiled. "Isn't it cute?"
"No, it sounds wrong," Kiba said.
"See? Even she gets a nickname," TenTen pouted at Neji.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "And I found him sane," he commented. "Now even he's gone sentimental."
Ino and Sakura exchanged glances. "Hm?"
"Uh oh, the 'hm' while glancing at each other, not a good sign," Shikamaru stated opening one of his closed eyes.
Ino smiled at him.
"Nani?" Shikamaru asked while sweat dropping. 'This cannot be good,' he told himself.
"Nothing…BoobyBoo," Ino said winking.
Shikamaru's mouth dropped.
Naruto laughed and hit his knee. "Oh that's good."
"And here I was complaining," Neji said smirking.
"That is a cute nickname, huh BunBun?" TenTen smiled.
Neji shuddered.
"How cute," Gai said.
Hinata looked at Naruto. "B-Bubs."
Naruto glanced at her. "Is that my nickname?" he questioned.
Hinata blushed while nodded.
Naruto smiled. "Hey, I'm Bubs. Good thinking, Buttercup," he stated.
"I like his better than mine," Shikamaru mumbled.
"Urusei, BoobyBoo," Ino ordered forcing a smile.
"Do I get a nickname?" Lee asked with a toothy smile.
"You already have one, Fuzzy Eyebrows," Naruto reminded him.
Lee frowned and grumbled.
"Let's shut up and watch the stupid movie," Sasuke implied.
After the movie, they waited for the countdown and the fireworks. They stood outside to wait for the incoming of a new year.
Shikamaru laid down on the grass, staring at the stars above.
"Five minutes in counting!" Naruto exclaimed while crushing Hinata to him.
"Oo, it's so exciting," Sakura stated.
"Yeah," Ino agreed. "And I bet Hinata will score a kiss."
Hinata blushed as she heard her say that.
TenTen grabbed Neji's face cheeks to stretch it into a smile. "Smile, BunBun," she said smiling.
"Stop using that damned name," Neji hissed.
Kakashi put down his book.
Gasha's arm was still latched to Gaara's. "This is so fun, Gaara-kun," she said in bliss.
Gaara looked up at the sky.
"Three minutes!" Naruto announced.
"Can you shut up?" Sasuke questioned his hands in his pockets.
"This gives me an idea," Jiraiya stated while smiling evilly.
They all glance at him.
"What are you talking about, pervert?" Naruto asked while blinking.
"Nothing. Nothing that your poor naïve brain could handle," Jiraiya answered.
"One minute!" Naruto exclaimed and jumped while squeezing Hinata.
"N-Naruto-kun, you're c-choking me," Hinata stated through gasping breaths.
Naruto loosened his grip. "Gomen, Buttercup," he said scratching his head.
Gasha squeezed Gaara's hand.
Ino pulled Shikamaru up. "Come on, BoobyBoo," she said.
"Five!" shouted Naruto.
"Four!" Hinata came after him.
"Three!" Ino jumped up into the air.
"Two!" Sakura shouted.
"One!" everyone, except Sasuke, Gaara, and Neji shouted. Shikamaru just mumbled.
Fireworks went off in all colors, leaving the ninjas in awe. It was beautiful.
The senseis popped champagne bottle tops while others blasted party poppers.
"Happy New Year!" Chouji stated through handfuls of chips.
Naruto planted a kiss on Hinata's lips and Hinata blushed.
"I knew she would get a kiss," Ino huffed.
"Gaara-kun!" Gasha latched her arms around Gaara's neck.
"Happy New Year, teme," Naruto said punching Sasuke on the arm. He received the infamous Uchiha glare.
Lee grabbed a bottle of sake and snickered. "Hehe."
"Lee, you know you're not supposed to drink," Gai informed grabbing the bottle from him, "You go all drunken wrestler on us."
"Good save Gai-sensei," TenTen stated.
"Humph," Lee pouted. "Happy New Year to you too."
That's it for this one! Next time: Kazekage's Birthday! Happy New Year everybody!
