Just to keep readers informed, the previous chapters have been taking place in late June, I think…And I moved it there so I could have this little chapter! I'm not positive that there is such a festival in Konoha, but oh well! Plus, so far, it's been 3-4 days, I think in this story! So there'll be 17-18 days left+A lot more to go! That means, you'll expect a lot of chapter or a sequel for sure!

Chapter 11: The Summer Festival! Pt1

"Ugh…I don't feel so good…" Naruto moaned drearily with Shikamaru, both flat on the living room floor.

"Well, if you hadn't drunken so much, you both wouldn't be moping over hangovers! Would you! Besides, you should be grateful we brought you out here." Ino scolded, Sakura and Tenten nodding in agreement. Hinata walked out of the kitchen with a silver tray, two large glasses of a strange looking green liquid that bubbled suspiciously.

"Umm, I made some energy drinks for you both, please…drink to feel better." Hinata said staring at her fingers. Naruto and Shikamaru twitched as they reached slowly for the glass. Both gulping, they took a long sip, as the women watched. Naruto suddenly spewed it out, face as green and pale as ever. Shikamaru drank it all, yet had the exact same reaction. Both immediately raced to the bathroom.

"Uh…Hinata…What in the world did you put in that?" Tenten asked, still staring at the remains in Naruto's cup, constantly bubbling.

"Well, all I did was make the Hyuuga family energy drink…I used dried newts, raw eggs, a fish brain, heart, and eyes, boiling water that I heated in an iron bowl in an oven at 400 degrees, a bit of my chakra to keep the glass from exploding because of the water heat, and a little sugar to sweeten it just a bit…why do you ask?" Hinata asked coyly. Tenten, Sakura and Ino sat speechless. All seeming sick to their stomachs, they unhurriedly marched back to their rooms, with unwelcoming faces.

"Hm? Was it something I said?"

"Sasuke! Wake up…" Sakura sang in his ear. His eyes opened lazily. Sakura giggled at his appearance. His button up dark blue night shirt had come undone by a few fastens, his matching blue pants ruffled and tangled with the covers. His hair seemed as spiky as ever, ruffled and messy, giving him a cute bad boy look. Because he hadn't worn his Konoha headband, (A.N: Just as a small note, the characters have not been wearing their headbands. They'll wear them eventually, but not now!) his bangs covered his forehead, making Sakura giggle even more.

"What's with you? It's 9AM and you begin your day by laughing." He said sarcastically, as Sakura stopped herself quickly.

"Gomen, but I just wanted to ask you…can we go to the summer festival tonight? The girls and I were chatting while we shopped and were wondering if well we could go with you guys, since it'll be fun. Please?" Sakura asked with her best puppy face. Sasuke grimaced for a moment.

"Is this the festival that includes dressing up in a yukata (summer kimono)?"

"Yes."

"Then, no."

"What! Oh come on!" Sakura pleaded, but only got a silent no as a reply. She thought for a moment and then perked with an idea.

"Sasuke…please…Will you go for me? Besides…the yukata is very easy to remove…" she said in a seductive tone. She crawled into his lap, massaging his shoulders. He shook his head once more although, instead, with a playful grin. Sakura began to suck his skin slowly, as he lied down, so she was on top of him.

"Continue and I'll reconsider…" he said with an evil grin as Sakura pouted.

"You're so mean…" she whined pleasingly, nibbling on his right ear, every feel of her intoxicating breaths upon his skin made him shudder with unstable desires. Every breath, she whispered "please." He suddenly changed their position, now him on top.

"You win…" he growled in defeat as she grinned with delight.

"
But…you get a punishment." He said smirking. With his hands, he began to tickle her sides, waist, and her most sensitive area, legs. She cried with laughter, giggling, as tears spilling down her red cheeks. After three minutes of unbearable torture, he stopped, satisfied. She took in air, until she caught her breath. She then hit him on the head as she giggled.

"Now what?"

"You're just so cute!" she squealed with joy as he sighed.

"I just had to fall in love with a fan girl…"

"Well, it's not that bad. At least your fan clubs have reduced. And their seemed to have developed a few that hate us together…" she said trying to cheer him up.

"A few have reduced…out of 1000…or more…" he said displeased.

"Don't be so down! Let's hurry and prepare for the festival! I have a few plans to complete! They're a secret, so you'll see soon enough! We girls are going to use this room, so you guys can use the living room for preparations! Go!" She said as Sakura pulled him out of bed. She escorted him out of the room and into the living room where the other guys were in the same situation, kicked out by the women. As they left, the four men sat lazily in the couches. They looked in the middle finding a giant pile of yukata robes stacked with numerous different designs

"Let's just get this over with…the women will be even more troublesome if we don't." Shikamaru scowled as Sasuke and Neji quietly picked simple designs. Naruto picked one quickly and stared at it. It was an orange robe with dark blue dress pants and obi with a fox that encircled it, perfect for his taste. Sasuke picked a black robe with black dress pants, and a burgundy obi fit tightly around his waist, designed with a pattern of red flames.

"How the hell do you put this stupid thing on!" Naruto yelled with frustration.

"You've never worn a yukata before?" Neji asked assembling his outfit, a white robe with black dress pants, and a matching black obi with a silver dragon design on it.

"Never! I only wear this, my lucky jumpsuit!" he said as the others suddenly backed away.

"Hey! I wash it often! Hey Shikamaru! Why aren't you choosing?"

"Baka…I'm one of the instructors! I have to where this vest when we're in the village to stay on guard. ANBU only wear their uniforms when on missions, so Neji and Sasuke have worn something else, or the villagers might panic." He said pointing at it. Naruto grimaced as he stared at his Yukata in frustration.

"Why me!"

Meanwhile…

>>>>>>>>>>>

Ino-Chan, what should I wear, the white one with orange and lemon designs or green one with Konoha leaves?" Tenten asked for her opinion already holding shoes and bags with them. Ino pointed toward the white kimono.

"That one has a zing in the whole design! The green one seems way too boring in my opinion!" Ino said as she picked hers. A purple one with a lavender clover design, and a light yellow obi with a cute gold banana design, with matching sandals and a gold bag designed with tiny pearls. Sakura slipped into a cream colored kimono with black and crimson butterflies dancing on it, a black obi with white and gray stripes and matching black wooden sandals to go with it. Lastly she picked a cream colored bag, a red ribbon holding it together.

"Do you guys think Sasuke will like it?"

"Of course idiot! Remember? He loves those colors! Besides, I think you two would look like a business couple with the styles you both choose." Ino said, in sugar coated tone teasingly.

"I think he will like it…" Hinata said as she sat all ready. She promptly sat in a midnight blue kimono, lavished with a silver bubble design, a stylish baby blue obi, and matching sandals with a turquoise bag.

"Alright! Now for hair and make-up!" Sakura cheered as they grabbed the necessary items, lipstick, blush, eye shadow, etc. Ino curled her eyelashes adding blue eyeliner and lavender eye shadow. She spread on grape flavored lip gloss over her light purple lipstick. She dabbed a light brownish red on her cheeks, and a little purple and yellow eye shadow. Lastly, Ino swiftly twisted the ends her bangs with a curling iron, tying her hair into a stylish and classic bun. Tenten did her usual hair style into two buns, although lowered a few more bangs to the side, and loosening her hair buns giving a cute result. She used hardly visible orange eye shadow with white eyeliner, a few touches of red lipstick and lip gloss for and extra shine, and a bit of orange scented perfume. Sakura did Hinata's, since she hadn't been experience with make-up. She put on a little glitter on Hinata's cheeks, so whenever she blushed, she'd still 'shine'. She applied a bit of blue mascara to bring out her lashes, and a some silver lip balm that brought a radiant glitter. Sakura added a diamond covered bubble shaped pin to her short hair.

"Hinata, why did you cut your long hair short again? It was so pretty when you kept it long!" Sakura whined as Hinata blushed with embarrassment.

"Well, I admit that I enjoyed long hair…but Naruto-Kun said that…I looked better this way…so I…" Hinata blushed harder as the three beamed with smiles.

"Good for you Hinata!" Sakura said as she then hastily swept a light pink blush on her cheeks, raspberry red lip gloss with a small add of shimmer. She then let Ino do her long hair into a tight bun to the side, letting her bangs down giving a natural curve to her face.

"Sakura? Are you sure that's enough make up?" Tenten asked as Sakura nodded.

"I really don't enjoy wearing makeup. I'm not used to it. Besides, Sasuke thinks that I look better without it." She said grinning as she took out a small bag full of tomatoes, tossing a few into her mouth.

"Why are you eating tomatoes?" Ino asked raising an eyebrow suspiciously.

"I always carry a bag of tomatoes when I'm hungry. Besides, Sasuke likes tomatoes. He enjoys tasting tomatoes whenever we kiss. And I thought YOU were a former fan of him." Sakura teased as Ino slapped her on the shoulder with a dignified manner.

"Of course! He's still one of the male idols in this village! Even if it's unrequited love, I'd still support him as a devoted fan girl!" Ino said proudly as the women sweatdropped.

"Alright! Let's check on the guys!" Tenten said as they walked carefully, making sure not to trip on their dresses, of their sandals as the four marched down the stairs. The moment they stepped into the living room, The girls began to twitch. The others all dressed; Naruto seemed to be the only one left, only in a clad pear of fox covered boxers. He was on the floor wrestling with the yukata, in the end, ripping it to shreds.

"How the hell do you wear this?" Naruto yelled holding up the tattered pile of his yukata. Sakura sighed sadly looking at the remaining yukata that were once neatly stacked. Almost all of them were tattered from Naruto's rough handling, holes from where his hands seemed to shoot out of, and found one that was merely a ragged piece of once beautiful fabric that lied in a large hole that engulfed half of the living room, which Sakura had assumed he had used his Rasengan to sort out his problems.

"Naruto…would you explain WHY there's a HOLE in MY living room?" Sakura said as calmly as possible, already holding Naruto by the neck with a blue chakra arm dangling him helplessly in the air. Neji and Shikamaru seemed to be stiffened with displeasure as to what she would do if they were ever caught in a situation as bad as that. Hinata paled staring powerless to Sakura's wrath, as she watched her boyfriend to his doom, Ino and Tenten trying hard to comfort her. She dropped him, his face blue from lack of air.

"Ehh…Well you see…I thought maybe if I used my Rasengan, it might stretch the fabric a bit! B-but I didn't realize that even with a Rasengan the size of a marble, I found out that I've grown a bit stronger…right?" Naruto said nervously, although his explanation seemed to make Sakura seem even angrier.

"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She raged as she spun him in circles with a finger, as if merely twirling pizza dough.

"It seems Tsunade's training, really does have an effect…" Tenten commented, slightly terrified by the merciless strength Sakura possessed. After a few minutes, Naruto seemed almost dead, lying flat on the floor, eyes white with a gaunt expression, lined with shock.

"Darn it! I messed up my hair!" Sakura said innocently, as she strolled cheerfully upstairs to fix it. Sasuke smirked as he shook the dobe back to consciousness.

"Uhh…Am I dead?" Naruto said blinking, looking around if Sakura was still around.

"Relax. She's upstairs fixing her hair. I think you better fix this hole soon, or she's gonna skin you alive and cover the hole with you like a carpet." Sasuke warned as Naruto paled.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"

30 minutes, a bucket of cement and 7 long fitted pieces of wood later…

"All…done…" Naruto said collapsing on the couch, dead tired. He had managed to fix the floor before Sakura could come down with the help of his clone crew. Suddenly he jumped up, his nose catching a powerful scent.

"Is that…ramen?" he asked blissfully. Hinata smiled with tray of a large bowl of ramen in her hands.

"HINATA! YOU'RE AN ANGEL!" he yelled hugging her tightly. She blushed beet red. Everyone groaned as he slurped away.

After three minutes, Naruto sat on the couch, the bowl clean inside out from Naruto's unstoppable cravings. Sakura strolled down the stairs staring at the spot where the hole was.

"Naruto, did you clean this all up?"

"Yup! And I did it all for you! Sorry for busting I up before!" he said as Sakura smiled.

"Thank you Naruto, I'm glad I didn't have to call a repairman." She said giving him a tight hug. Naruto laughed blushing dumbfounded, almost in a perverted way.

POW

"Sasuke! Why'd I have to get hit this time!" Naruto complained as Sasuke growled.

"You hugged her for more than a minute. If you hugged her any longer, it'd be the end for you…" he said darkly, wrapping an arm around Sakura as Naruto chuckled fearfully.

'Okay…How about we all go to the festival! It's probably a good time! We can shop for a few hours and fool around separately in couples, eat, and meet back at a spot so we all can see the fireworks!" Naruto said as everyone seemed to be in shock.

"What?"

"Nothing…It's just that, that's the smartest thing that actually makes sense, which is defiantly something that's rare for you to say!" Sakura said as everyone seemed to agree.

"Well tha-ah! Hey! I'm not that stupid!" Naruto said trying to defend himself.

"Let's hurry!" Tenten said as everyone followed ignoring him, except Hinata, trying to support him.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"

The group arrived to the Konoha Summer Festival just in time. The sun was still shining, giving them a few hours to relax and have fun. At the entrance Naruto looked around, wearing his trademark fox smile, his Konoha headband, and orange jump suit. The eight adolescents huddled together to make a plan.

"Alright, we split up, mess around and eat, then meet back here in four hours, that's when events start. After that, we watch the fire works at midnight and get back to the manor." Shikamaru said, everyone seemed to be in agreement. In four pairs, they split in different directions to enjoy the few hours alone...

Alright, I need a few opinions to ask…Would you guys rather have one chapter on each couple in detail, or one chapter on all of them together so that you can get on with this story. Please review and let me know! By the way, I'm going to see all of your opinions and see which seems to attract more people! Anyways, R&R+I'll be back!
