2. House Party, Part 1

A/N: Chapter Two, my homies! 8D Enjoy yourself…

I was sleeping soundly in our large home, "our" being Sasuke and I, for those of you who couldn't understand the first chapter. Anyway, I was being cuddled by my mysterious husband, when suddenly, we hear an extremely large scream, almost bloodcurdling. We both sat up quickly in bed, and looked at each other. Out of the bed we went, threw on some clothes, and ran downstairs to find Keiko, Yuue, and Aizu sitting in the living room. Our maid, Tadako, was serving breakfast to them, and made some for us, as well. I didn't mind that the three went into my house, because I could trust them. They are my friends, you know. I greeted them good morning, and they greeted me back. Sasuke sighed, and sat down a distance away from Keiko on the couch.

"What brings you all here?" Sasuke sternly asked.

"It was Keiko's idea!" Aizu exclaimed, pointing at her. Yuue followed suit.

"Hey, the door was open!" Keiko said.

Sasuke glared at Keiko, but then I calmed him down and offered him some milk. Of course, he accepted it, then drank it to shut himself up. We enjoyed a nice talk with breakfast, and Sasuke kept his mouth shut for the time being.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Keiko asked.

"Yeah, something's wrong with my teleporting skills, so I'm stuck in Konoha for the time being…anything interesting to do here?" Aizu asked.

"Well…what do you want to do, Sasuke?" I asked my mate. He happened to not care, again, and sat back on the soft couch. He didn't bother to answer me.

"Do you guys…want to hang out here for the day?" I asked reluctantly. "I know Sasuke wouldn't like it, sort of…because he's very overprotective…but I know he won't mind."

"OH OH!" Aizu shouted out. "WHY DON'T WE HAVE A HOUSE PARTY?!?!?!"

Sasuke sighed, and I stared at Aizu for a second. "A house party?"

"Yeah! We can invite the people you know!" Yuue said.

"WHOOT! CAN YOU INVITE KIBA?!" Keiko screamed in my face, smiling like a maniac.

"Uh…sure…" I replied. "Sasuke, would you like to invite your teammates and your teammates friends?"

The raven-haired ninja I call my husband sighed again in exasperation. "Fine…but it is your responsibility to not cause any trouble during this party. If anything breaks about this house, I will never let you inside our house again. Agreed?"

Yuue, Aizu, and Keiko stared at Sasuke with a small frightened expression on their faces. It was his stern tone of voice that made them understand that he really does care about me. Bleh, I sound like a conceited weirdo that flaunts that I'm married to him in my alternate universe. Enough of me blabbing on about Sasuke and I, back to the story. The three of them nodded, agreeing to his terms and then talked to me about the guests.

"It's early in the morning, so we can plan out perfectly what we can do for the party!" Keiko exclaimed.

I smiled. I got out some paper and a pen to write all the guests, the planning, and the entertainment. We spent almost an hour planning all this, with Sasuke keeping quiet for most of the time, as usual. We came up with the following ideas:

Guests:

Naruto, Sakura, Yoshiko, Kakashi, Kiba, Lee, Tenten, Neji, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro (We already called up Gaara and his siblings earlier so they have time to travel)

Time:

3:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. (A seven-hour party? Wow, this is REALLY long!!!)

Food and Entertainment:

ANY food that Tadako and a hired chef can make to satisfy the guests, especially Chouji and Naruto; A game of Spin the Bottle, Pin the Kunai on Orochimaru, and end with Would You Rather or Roleplay. Music is a must as well. (Jeez, only this for an seven-hour party?!)

"So, what do guys think of the list?" I asked, including Sasuke.

"Do we have to invite Naruto? He'll probably screw up the house…and eat all the ramen the chef Aizu hired and Tadako make," Sasuke asked, almost whining.

"Naruto is your teammate!" I exclaimed. "You don't exclude your teammate from a get-together! What is wrong with you?!"

"Nothing is wrong with me, I am just suggesting something for your so-called party," he replied back. I rolled my eyes, but I knew he was doing it because he's had a long relationship with that guy. It's almost like his second mate. Okay, bad images. Sorry, yaoi lovers!

"So…is this all set?" I asked. Everybody nodded and agreed.

"Yaay! Can we go call up the guests now?!?!?!" Keiko anticipated.

"Yeah, I'll go pick up the Sand peoples!" Yuue said.

"I know Yoshiko and Kakashi is coming soon, I called her after I hired the chef," Aizu remarked.

"That's great," I said. "Now, can we get a move on, people? I need to clean my house!"

"Yes, ma'am!" The three of them joked. Yuue ran out the door, Keiko held the list of phone numbers and Aizu held the phone to her ear. Sasuke decided to clean himself up, and I helped Tadako clean up the entire house. The living room, the game room, the dining room, everything. Even we had to clean up our backyard! Soon enough, Yoshiko and Kakashi came in time when Aizu and Keiko finished calling the guests, and Tadako and I finished cleaning. It was 2:00 in the afternoon.

Chaper 2.2: The Party Begins

"Hi everybody!!!" Yoshiko excitedly greeted. We all hugged Yoshiko, except for Sasuke, who was still getting ready.

"Good afternoon, all," Kakashi coolly waved, holding Icha Icha Paradise in his other hand. "Where are the other guests?"

"They're not here yet," Aizu explained briefly. "They'll be coming in the next thirty-ish minutes."

"Oh, well, that's very nice of you to invite us earlier," Kakashi replied.

"Anything for a family friend!" I said.

A knock on the door was heard, and Sasuke, looking more decent with his everyday outfit, opened the door to find a young woman wearing a white apron and hat.

"Who are you, now?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm Ayame, from Ichiraku Ramen! I'm the chef you hired!" Ayame happily exclaimed. I saw Sasuke leaning at the door and stared at her blankly, and then let her in. I greeted Ayame, and so did the rest of us, and she began to help cook with Tadako.

Twenty Minutes Later

Yuue threw herself inside the house, and came up to me, panting, and said that the Sand Village guests are here. I gave her my thanks, and the next three guests arrived inside.

"Some place you got here!" Kankuro explained.

"Hey, not bad for marrying a local hottie!" Temari said, directing it at me. I smiled back. Gaara didn't say a thing, but greeted Sasuke with a small nod, and sat himself down.

"HEY!!! THE NEXT HOKAGE'S ARRIVED, BELIEVE IT!!!" Naruto suddenly shouted at the door.

"Naruto, must you scream that in every place you go to?" Sakura exasperatingly sighed from behind. Yoshiko let the two inside and they made themselves at home. Naruto said hi to everyone hyperactively, while Sakura made the other approach.

"Just when I thought he wasn't gonna be here…" Sasuke said to himself. He shook his head.

"Hi, Naoko!" Sakura greeted, smiling as if it were plastic. I really didn't care, but I said hi back, and we hugged. "Hi, Sasuke!!!"

Sasuke said hi back quietly, and walked away from Sakura to where Yoshiko and Kakashi were and conversed with them. Naruto was talking to Kankuro, well, maybe more like yelling, and Temari talked to Keiko and Yuue for a bit. I stayed with Sakura, and talked to her.

"So, how's your love life been?" Sakura asked randomly.

I stared at the woman with a slightly annoyed expression, but decided to answer it. "It's been great…Sasuke's wonderful…How is it with Naruto, over there?!"

"I'm not going out with that blonde bastard over there!!!" Sakura cried. "You are joking, right?"

"Of course," I laughed. "I'm weird like that, remember?"

"Oh, man…what a drag coming here to a house party on such notice," A familiar, droning voice said through the door.

"Shikamaru's here?!" Temari said out loud. All of us shut up and stared at her.

"Well…you know, I mean, he's here! Come on!" She said, making a weird comeback. I answered the door, and saw the lazy ninja, Miss Pig, and Food Boy, otherwise known as Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji.

"Ino-Shika-Cho is in the hiz-ouse!!!" Ino shouted, raising her arms and winking. Sakura stared at Ino with and evil expression, and she stared back.

"Hey, you got the food ready?" Chouji asked.

"No…not yet," I replied.

"Aww…"

"Man, what a-" Shikamaru stopped his words when Temari came up to him.

"Hey, Shika…" She shyly greeted.

"What's up?" Shikamaru greeted. "What brings you here to the party?"

"Oh, well…" Temari started laughing. I left those two alone to talk to each other. Sasuke sat down next to Gaara, where he remained slightly quiet in words and expression as well. In the next ten minutes, Lee, Tenten, and Neji arrived. All who was left was Hinata and Kiba.

"Aww…Kiba's not here yet," Keiko said sadly.

"That's okay," I said. "You know how some people are fashionably late…"

For the next hour, Ayame and Tadako finished the food enough to last for a few hours, and then made more back in the kitchen.

"So, who's up for Spin the Bottle?!" Aizu and Yuue yelled at the crowd. They all stared at Aizu and Yuue in question.

To be continued…
