Century Sleepover

Welcome back. Due to a sharp beating, like 6 reviews, and the fact that I'm on vacation, there has to be some changes from now on. Soooo, to increase popularity, THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST CHAPTER EVER. YES, LONGER THAN CHAPTER 12 PEOPLE. And, since I have a lot of free time considering I don't go a lot of places (at least not till July), I'm gonna try to do this as soon as possible.

EDIT: Which apparently isn't working out so well. I've been getting massive attacks of boredom lately and couldn't think of much. So I'm gonna try to keep working this time.

Unfortunately, I was beaten to a pulp by Hikari, so I don't necessarily remember what she said to put in the story…heh heh…ah well, looks like there's only one thing to do.

Naruto: Oh dear god not again!

Lee: RUN AWAY!!!

Sakura: AIIEIEEEEEEE!!!

Chouji: I WANT MY MOMMY!!!

Hawku: Yep, they guessed it. FREELANCING!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, therefore no suing plz. Or Fanfiction [dot net. Don't sue them either plz. Kthx.

Note: You may be here a while so I'd suggest grabbing a snack to keep awake.

2nd Note: When items are in [, it means the words inside weren't originally in there, but added to make more sense. It can also be added to emphasis a point, or add hilarity. For example, "Sakura's a [whiney little bitch." See? It's like a secondary Author's Note! xD

3rd Note: I do not believe Sakura's a whiney little bitch, that was just a demonstration. Don't hurt me for that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, let me get this straight, she promised she'd go through with the dare for something you'd give her that you won't tell anyone else about?" Kiba questioned.

"Y-yeah…" Sakura answered.

"And so she purposely walked slow as hell down the street to try and make you look like a weirdo."

"Uh-huh…"

"And so, in that, she got herself captured by a giant purple dinosaur who supposedly got knocked all the way to the moon."

"Yes, that's about it." Sakura said bluntly. All the others sighed.

"I swear, I'm surrounded by idiots." Shikamaru mumbled to Chouji, who smiled and nodded as he pulled out another bag of chips from nowhere. Meanwhile a certain Jounin duo had just joined them on the rooftops, but decided to lie low for the moment.

"So what do we do now?" asked a worried Tenten. "I mean, we can't just leave her there, right? Who knows what could happen! He could go homicidal on her!"

"Ten, calm down." Neji said calmly.

"What do you mean 'calm down'! She's in danger!" The bun-haired girl retorted back. He seemed completely unphased.

"She's not." The boy replied flatly.

"But…"

"Trust me on this, she's not."

"Neji!" Dog boy Kiba yelled. "You may think she's fine, and I know she's a ninja and all, but we still gotta find her! She really could be in danger!" Neji sighed.

"Alright, don't listen to me. But when we get there, you'll be sooooo sorry you didn't listen to me."

"…the hell is he talking about?" Naruto whispered to his shy 'girlfriend'. Hinata shrugged, not knowing herself what he could be up to or what Neji knew. Then again, Neji knows all. Well okay, maybe not everything, but he knows a lot.

"Uhh…did we miss something?" Asked a voice on another roof next to theirs. All the ninja turned to where the voice came from to see two Jounin emerge from the shadows in a very dramatic fashion. Like all ninja try to do. And who else to show up at a time like that than Kakashi and Kurenai, coming from only God knows.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Both Naruto and Sakura called out. "You're late!"

"Sorry, I was spending the night at a hotel and things just rambled on for a while…"

"LIAR!" They both yelled at their teacher.

"Actually," Kurenai interrupted. "He's telling the truth. I was at the same hotel and things sorta got outta control."

"What happened?" Chouji innocently asked.

"You're too young to hear it." Kakashi answered bluntly. All the less serious (minus Kiba) genin blushed, while the Jounin just smiled, knowing exactly what happened instantly; even the Hokage and her assistant Shizune (who still had a red cheek from Asuma's bitch slap). Tsunade caught onto to another thing as well and checked off an item on her dare list, knowing they were complete.

Among other things…

"So, back to the item at hand, what are we going to do about Hikari?!" Kiba screamed like a worried mother.

"Hold on." Kakashi said while both Jounin leaped across the buildings. The copy ninja pulled out a video camera from his pocket and grabbed a tiny little mechanical tick from Chouji's headband, then inserted it into his camera, where the recording started.

"Wow, you really do record everything." Naruto commented.

"Damn straight." Kakashi replied as he watched the tape. "We'll get caught up, you guys keep on talking."

Shikamaru snickered a bit and decided to watch the tape with them, just for better choice of something to do. "Well, whatever, let's set up a search party," Kiba started before he was interrupted by a very loud noise. That very loud noise being Chouji screaming 'I want my Mommy!" coming from the recording Kakashi was watching. Both Jounin watching the tape burst out in laughter, and soon the rest of the ninja, minus an embarrassed Chouji, were laughing and snickering at the fat mascot's plunder.

"What!? It was an emotional moment…" Chouji replied, completely embarrassed. It took a couple minutes to calm the rest of the ninja down before they finally got back on task, and soon after Kakashi, Shikamaru and Kurenai had finished watching the past events of their day.

"Alright, everyone knows what to do?" Kiba asked. A hand stupidly rose into the air, and that hand belonged to our very own number one knuckleheaded ninja, Uzumaki Naruto. Dog boy sighed and answered flatly, "Yes, Naruto."

"Can I go to the bathroom?" Naruto asked, jumping up and down like a Mexican jumping bean.

On crack.

Kiba sighed and asked, "Alright, does anyone else have to go?" Everyone else raised their hands, even the jounin and the Hokage. Then, Akamaru popped up from his shirt and raised his paw in the air. Dog boy sighed again and said, "Okay, let's go…" And with that, they all jumped back to the hotel to hit the bathroom.

---

One bathroom trip later, all ninja was back at the center room of the hotel, quietly waiting the instruction of their calm leader. Except, everyone was talking to themselves, and their leader, Kiba, was panicking and trying to get everyone to shut up so he could talk. Akamaru, who had already been on the floor, let out a big howl, getting everyone's attention.

"Thanks." Kiba said to his dog friend, who barked as a reply. "Alright, so now that we've all gone to the bathroom, anyone have anything else to say before we go?" Another hand was raised in the air, but instead it was one of the less serious types who had his hand up. That's right folks, give a big 'Ol Naruto welcome to Sasuke.

"Why are we sitting here? We've already wasted enough time with that stupid trip to the bathroom." Sasuke answered coldly.

"Hey! I had to go!" Naruto defended.

"Y-you went too Sasuke…" Hinata commented quietly.

"What was that Hyuuga?" Sasuke asked angrily.

"You heard me!" Hinata answered, only raising her voice more and standing up. Most ninja were taken aback at Hinata's outburst. In fact, pretty much everyone was, except Sasuke wasn't trying to show weakness so he didn't show it on the outside.

"Don't get smart with me!" He yelled back, standing up himself.

"I'll do it when I want to!" Hinata responded. Some were confused, some were scared, and others were only seconds away from yelling 'FIGHT! FIGHT!" But all kept quiet, watching the two go at it. Naruto, watching his girlfriend get involved with his rival, stood up behind her and said,

"Hey Hey, you two don't have to-" but he was cut off by Hinata's hand being thrust in his face, only inches away from his skin.

"You got a problem Uchiha?!" Hinata screamed furiously. From all behind her, she seemed like she had suddenly gotten a lot taller, as if puberty just gave her a temporary boost from out of nowhere.

"Yeah I got a problem! You got something to say, you say it to my face!" He yelled to the normally quiet girl. She responded by shooting him a merciless death glare, and he followed suit by giving his own Uchiha Glare of Death. They both stood there, as time stopped for all in the background. Everything was still, with a faint, eerie feeling chocking the life right out of each and every ninja there. Suddenly, one boy cracked under the sheer tremendous weight of the pressure. Poor, poor Chouji.

"AAH!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! SAY SOMETHING!" He shrieked while running around in circles like Ichiraku suddenly closing. Which is like his definition of the world ending. There was once an instance of this, when the old man had to close to go on a supply trip in the middle of the week. The food ninja ran through the entire village, screaming and panicking all the while, trying to find something good to satisfy his grumpy stomach. Of course, he could've just gone for barbeque, but that thought never crossed his mind as he fled through the streets. Oh well, what a shame really.

Meanwhile, the death stare off was still going on, despite the panicking fat boy running around in circles. Neither the Uchiha nor the recently angered Hyuuga girl had backed off, and it appeared like it could go on and on forever and ever in this weird yet intense staring contest. No one moved, no one had said anything, everything had stopped completely as they watched the two argue and fight with each other with their eyes.

Suddenly, Hinata spoke in a demanding voice, "Let's take this outside." Sasuke, knowing her faults and weaknesses in battle, smirked superiorly.

"You're on, candy pants." He mockingly answered, beckoning her with his arms toward the door. She shoved his arm out the way and stormed out the room, a dark cloud following her wake. He followed smugly, saying nothing until they got outside, leaving the rest of the ninja completely baffled.

"What the heck just happened!?" Kiba asked, dumbfounded. But before he knew it, he was the only one left in the room. He sighed, and decided to join the battle raging on outside. He only hoped that Hikari would be okay for now…

---

Hinata stood in her fighting stance, ready to take on anyone. Her eyes were like those of her cousins, showing signs of anger and frustration against a person she despised beyond all reason. Personally, now standing on the battle field about to fight the Sharingan warrior, she couldn't help but think something was wrong. She was never blinded by unimaginable fury, or even despised anyone. Now she was standing in a circle as her friends and family (Neji) watched her with fear and confusion and she had no idea why. Before they'd had these insane sleepovers, she was calm, collected and quiet. Now…

Well, now she was ready to tear emo boy's body limb from limb and leave no remains. It was a horrible thought, and she knew that. But what had changed? Was it maybe because they were all together? Was it because he just set off something in her brain, telling her she didn't want to be like that? Or was it…

Was it Naruto? Was it the fact that they had gotten together secretly suddenly gave her some confidence? Or worse off…had he…rubbed off on her?

Well, she was living proof that the people you hang out with influences your character. But how had it influenced her so fast? It was so…

She didn't even get a chance to think about that thought when she spotted a kunai flying toward her rapidly. She quickly dodged it and turned to her attacker, Mr. Sasuke Uchiha himself.

"Don't blank out on me Hyuuga. I'm still here you know." Sasuke pronounced. Hinata, getting back in the game, yelled back to him,

"Sorry! I forgot you were a threat!" Sasuke growled angrily and charged her with a kunai in his hand. She quickly took out one herself and stood her ground as he charged. Their weapons clashed as he slashed at her head, she blocking it with ease. Then she stepped back as she slashed the kunai out of his hand, dropping her own in the process. He frowned again and charged, this time attacking with his fist. It didn't connect as Hinata pushed it aside and landed a hit straight to his chest. He groaned and jumped back quickly.

"Ah that's right. Hyuuga 360 view. They specialize with up close so a head on attack won't work." Sasuke thought. "Maybe if I…" Suddenly, a sharp voice broke his train of thought.

"Hey! Sasuke! You giving up already!?" Hinata yelled mockingly, putting her hands on her hips and smirking. Everyone in the audience was pretty much weirded out completely, noticing this was not the same Hinata they had come to ignore and let sit in the corner all day.

"You know…If I didn't know any better," Kakashi started. "I'd say she acting just like…Naruto…" Realization dawned on them, and they all turned to Naruto. Even Naruto.

"What? I didn't do anything!" Naruto defended.

"Well it's not like something like this happened…" Tsunade started, letting herself connect the dots. A few choice others had also figured it out as well. "…over night…" For a brief second, everything in the audience went quiet. The only thing that could be heard was the Sharingan master and the Byukugan girl battled it out in the background.

"What happened last night, Naruto." The Hokage asked sternly. Naruto flinched as eyes fell on him. Some confused, some ready to gossip and start giggling, one in particular ready to destroy the poor boy if he heard anything 'improper' had been done to Hinata. Naruto gulped, knowing there wasn't an easy way to get out of this one. Thinking as fast as he could, he came up with only one option.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" He yelled as he placed his hands together, dozens of Naruto clones emitting from the smoke. In a crazed panic, they all scrambled off in separate directions, leaving the ninja to do absolutely nothing.

"Meh, he'll be back." Tsunade said, smirking a bit.

"How do you know that?" Tenten asked. Tsunade's smirk got wider as she held up a stuffed frog, full of all Naruto's money.

"He has to eat eventually."

---

Turning our attention back to the fight, Sasuke had just landed on his feet as he skimmed the ground from being hit by another hit to the chest, this one a lot more powerful than before. Apparently, as the audience quarreled, Hinata had gotten serious. And he could tell, he had multiple bruises to prove it. But the strangest thing was no matter what he did, his Sharingan wasn't helping. Most of the time she just stood her ground, waiting for him to attack. And when he did, she'd wait for the last minute and counter it immediately. Even when he used his taijutsu speed, she'd block ever attack.

"…The hell?" Sasuke thought angrily. "When'd she get this strong?" He stopped and rapidly did some hand seals at a pace thought to be impossible. As he put his hand to his mouth while his fingers got in a cup formation, he yelled, "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!" Then he released fireballs from his mouth, hurling at a great speed toward Hinata.

Hinata stood completely still, waiting for the fireball to get close enough. Then, she summoned her chakra and thrust her hands in the air in front of the fireball, then behind her head and all around her body. It was like she was doing a dance, and the fireballs launched trailed after her hands as a streak of glittering light flowed off her finger tips. She closed her eyes once all the fireballs were following her hands, then focused one final thrust at Sasuke, releasing all the fireballs at once into one full blast. He didn't even have a chance to react fast enough, so he did the quickest thing he could and blocked his precious face with his arms just as the flaming balls hit, knocking him clear off his feet.

When the smoke cleared, the girl stood right next to his neck, a kunai firmly in her hand placed inches away from the Uchiha's neck. But unlike her 'boyfriend', a smirk couldn't be found in her feat of victory of her triumph. A face of seriousness was plastered all over her face, it wasn't shy, happy, or even a little cocky. More like a face that could scare small dogs or make Chouji wet his pants in fear. Actually, it was a face that could scare small dogs and make Chouji wet his pants in fear. But I'm getting off again.

"I win." She said nonchalantly. She pulled the kunai away from his neck and walked away, leaving a dark cloud behind her in her wake. And of course, Sakura came running to help up her precious "Sasuke-kun". And just like normal, Sasuke pushed her away coldly and walked away in the opposite direction, saying absolutely nothing.

As everyone sat there conversing about the past events, one man was very nervous. "What about Hikari!?" Kiba screamed. Everyone turned their attention to him. "We were supposed to start searching an hour ago! Now we lost Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata!"

"So." Neji said flatly. Kiba just sat there, considering his options at the time. One, he could just stick to the plan and go after Hikari. A simple plan probably taking 20 minutes. Or, he could stupidly wander around the entire city looking for the three missing ninja, possibly spending over hours and hours trying to find them. On the one hand, they were his friends. Well, at least Hinata was. On the other hand…

"Yeah, you're right, let's go." Kiba said quickly, jumping off in a random direction. All who were left shrugged it off and decided to humor the dog boy, jumping off after him.

---

One man was running through roof after roof, through shadows and dark alleys and seas of people, searching for his girlfriend. After all, it had been a few hours ago since she was abducted by a giant vortex and taken to parts unknown. She had to be somewhere in this city right?

Yeah…right…

He searched through the entire town, building after building, calling her name through each place he went to. Of course, his friends weren't as enthusiastic as he was, but they did their best in looking. It was a hard and rough day for the boy and his dog, and with no luck of finding his lass, he sighed and took a seat in a peaceful, quiet park.

That is, until Naruto showed up.

"HEY KIBA!" Naruto yelled, making Akamaru jump in Kiba's jacket, being scared out of his wits. Kiba, on the other hand, couldn't be more annoyed, especially with the pounding headache he had. And none of the other ninja had reported in yet, so he was still worried as ever.

"What Naruto." Kiba asked, exhausted.

"What's up?" Naruto asked, sitting down on the bench with his [second rival.

"Well, so far I've come up with absolutely nothing after so many hours of searching. But other than that I'm great!" Kiba said sarcastically, cupping his chin in his hands.

"Okay great!" Naruto answered happily, completely oblivious of his friend's distress. Kiba sighed and looked up at the sky. It was still blue, but it was slowly getting darker and darker. He knew it was getting late, and soon they'd have to stop the search for a while. Then, up walked Shino, as quiet as ever. He had recently returned to his normal, nonchalant self. Staying in the back and not saying much unless it was absolutely needed. Yep, that was his thing.

"Hey." Shino said quietly.

"Yeah, hey." Kiba replied.

"Still bummed?" He asked.

"Yeah…a little."

"Don't worry. They'll find her."

"Yeah…"

"Trust me. I'm sure someone's on they're way to tell us they found her now."

And suddenly, as if on cue, Shikamaru poofed in. "Ah, there you are. Just letting you know, we found Hikari."

"What!? YOU DID!?" Kiba screamed, practically blowing Shikamaru over.

"Yeah." Kiba turned to Shino, who didn't say anything. But Kiba swore the bug-user was smiling under that collar. "Well, you coming or what?" Shikamaru asked, already walking out of the park.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Kiba yelled, running after the lazy boy. The others in the park followed, and…FADE OUT!

---

Kiba and the rest of the gang stopped when they saw the broken down warehouse, apparently Hikari's 'holding cell'. The door was broken down, most of the windows were shattered, and it looked like it hadn't been painted in years. Or ever been washed, for that matter. But none of that mattered as of now. All that mattered was Hikari! Well…for Kiba anyway. Shikamaru wanted to go home, Naruto was craving some ramen, and no one really knows was Shino was thinking.

"So she's here right?" Kiba asked anxiously.

"Yeah." Shikamaru answered.

"Alright, let's go then!" Kiba said, running through the broken down doorway with Naruto and Shino not far behind.

"Wait!" Shikamaru yelled. But they were already inside the warehouse, gone from his sight. "Oh whatever, they'll find out on their own." He sighed as he walked in lazily after the temporary team.

---

"Hey guys!" Kiba yelled to his friends, currently all in one little bunch watching something. "Where's Hikari?" Chouji, who just happened to be in the back of the pack, pointed over everyone else in the direction their eyes were. The boys (minus Shikamaru) followed the finger and were utterly flabbergasted at the image they were given.

Hikari, in a black tank top and tight pants that hugged her curves, was on top of a very frightened purple dinosaur, and apparently she was dominating. Literally. She had a blood red whip in one hand and the other was palmed over the dinosaur's head, pushing it forcefully down on the scarlet material.

"You like eating red carpet!?" Hikari yelled.

"Yeeess!" Barney cried like a baby.

"Say you like eating red carpet!"

"I like eating red carpet!" Barney cried again. Kiba's jaw dropped, Naruto almost fell over, and Shino fell over and started twitching. One word escaped his mouth before he blacked out from a massive nosebleed:

"Giggity." Shino murmured, then he passed out.

"S-should we stop this?" Kiba asked.

"Well, we were," Kakashi said from behind his video camera. "But we didn't know whether to rescue Hikari or Barney." Chouji nodded in approval, and then grabbed another fistful of popcorn.

"So…we're doing nothing then?" Kiba asked again.

"Pretty much."

"Does she even know we're here?"

"Well, we're not sure. We saw her glance over here once, but she went back to her…whipping. To be honest, I don't know whether she saw us and is now just showing off, or didn't and waiting for us to show up…" Kakashi answered. He glanced at Naruto, who was looking around the room and at each person. "Looking for something Naruto?"

"Yeah…where's Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"We don't know that either. Ever since that fight with Sasuke, we haven't seen her." Kakashi answered. But as soon as he said it, he knew he said it the wrong way, for Naruto was glaring very angrily at Sasuke. Sasuke, on the other hand, instantly caught the glare and threw it right back at the hyperactive ninja.

"What'd you do to Hinata!?" Naruto growled. Sasuke then remembered that he wasn't there at the end result. Meaning anything he told Naruto now he would believe. He smirked and said nothing, turning his attention away from Naruto. This only made the short-tempered boy even angrier.

"What are you smirking about Sasuke?" Neji said smugly without even turning his attention away from his 'so-called sister'. "You and I both know Hinata kicked your ass." Sasuke winced at that comment and turned slowly to Naruto, who had a 'ha ha, the great Sasuke Uchiha ain't so great after all and you got your ass kicked by a girl!' grin plastered all over his face.

"Shut up Naruto." Sasuke snapped, turning away again to hide his embarrassment. After all, it's not everyday the most quiet ninja in Konoha kicks your ass and upstages even one of your best walk-offs. His pride had taken a serious blow that day, like a bullet shot right through him that came back and shot through him again and again. For that matter, anyone who was beaten by Hinata would have issues with their own pride, the fact that he was supposed to be a great Uchiha only made things ten times worse.

"So…what do we do now?" Shikamaru said from the background, just coming in.

"Well, we got a couple choices," Tsunade said without turning her eyes from the situation before her. "We could wait this out until Hikari's ready and sees us, we could go get her right now and go back to Truth or Dare…or we could go get something to eat and come back."

"I vote for something to eat." Naruto said.

"I second that." Chouji answered happily.

"Meh, I'm ready to go now." Shikamaru mumbled.

"But I…can't…look away…" Ino said.

"Me too…" Sakura murmured.

"Why don't we compromise? We get Hikari now, go get something to eat, and then we head back to the hotel for the rest of the game." Tsunade suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Kiba said.

"Yeah okay." Shikamaru answered.

"Whatever…" Sasuke muttered. Everyone else had various 'sure, okay' and other means of approval.

"Hikari! C'mon!" Kiba yelled from inside the room. She instantly smiled and jumped off Barney.

"Now you be a good boy Mr. Dinosaur, or my fist and your face are gonna have a long talk, comprendé?" Hikari said.

"Y-yeah…sure…just go. Please." Barney answered, coughing up some blood.

"Aww…poor thing. Tell you what, we'll give you the blonde." She said. The dinosaur glanced up at the blonde girl, admiring her.

"OOhh, I'll take that!" Barney perked up. Hikari followed the invisible line to who he was looking at and laughed.

"No, not that blonde, the other one." Barney then looked at the recently blonded girl and grunted in disgust.

"Never mind…" Hikari laughed again and skipped out of the door to meet her friends.

"So…what I miss?" Hikari asked.

Naruto answered, "Hinata kicked Sasuke's ass, but other than that…"

"Shut up Naruto!" Sasuke snapped again, his pride officially at an all-time low. Hikari approached him and patted him on the back.

"It's ok Sasuke-kun, its not your fault you lost to my sweet innocent little cousin Hinata-sama. It just means you'll never be able to kill your brother & your future dreams are crushed. That's all." She smiled. Sasuke started twitching and brushed her hand off angrily, walking away as if his pride had just blown up into a bunch of tiny pieces.

"That's a shame." Chouji said flatly, gaining a death glare from the broken Uchiha.

"Hey!" Hikari exclaimed looking around. "Where's Hawku!?"

"Hey…yeah and where's Akamaru?" Kiba asked.

---

Meanwhile…

A bird and a dog were walking down the street, with cool shades on. It was just them and the world around them, no distractions, no owners, they were free. Well, at least for an hour when they got found and dragged back to the chaos of Truth or Dare. To all other people, it was pretty weird to see a hawk with an afro and a white dog walking together on the street with shades on.

"So, what you want to do?" Hawku barked to Akamaru in dog language.

"I don't know, I don't go to the big city often." Akamaru answered.

"Well we gotta find something to do before we go back. Something memorable, something…cool…" The hawk barked back, glancing at each and every building looking for something to do. He stopped when he spotted a particular dark alley illuminated only by a red beam of light. Akamaru quickly noticed he wasn't walking at his side and rushed back.

"What is it?" Kiba's dog asked.

"I don't know…but let's check it out." Hawku flapped and walked into the alley with Akamaru following. The two animals quickly stuck to the shadows and peered over the corner to see a group of people all huddled together and the sounds of chickens cawing out.

"It must be a cockfight!" Hawku whispered. He came back around the corner and smiled. "If we can get in there, we can make us some serious money!"

"Yeah!" Akamaru barked happily. "But wait, they won't let a hawk participate, it's unfair."

"True…" Hawku answered. "But…I can transform into a chicken if I wanted to!"

"Well, you'll need an owner…Hey! I bet I can pull off the man beast technique. Kiba taught me how to use it just in case I was alone and needed help. He even taught me a bit of English."

"Great! Let's go!" Hawku quickly transformed into a hawk and Akamaru became Kiba with a dark coat on. "What's with the dark coat?"

"It makes me look more normal in this kind of crowd." Akamaru answered.

"Oh yeah that's true. Okay let's go!" Hawku hopped into Akamaru's coat and he walked around the corner, every person there turning their attention to them.

"It's a cop!" One guy shouted out from the background.

"No no! I ain't a cop." Akamaru said, sending chills of relief around everyone's spines. They turned their attention back to the chickens fiercely battling in the small arena. Akamaru sat next to some bald guy in a heavy coat, who was intensively watching the fight.

"Well looky here. You got yourself a chicken to chicken to fight with?" The man asked, looking at the fowl that was tucked within his coat.

"Woof!" Akamaru barked happily. Then he stopped when he realized what he 'said'. "Er…Yeah!"

"Well alright! He looks pretty healthy to me. We needed someone to take on our champion anyway. The prize is 10,000 dollars." The man said.

"Okay!" Akamaru said.

"Good! Hey!" The man yelled, lifting Akamaru's 'hand' in the air. "We got ourselves a challenger!" All the other men cheered in excitement of a good match. Hawku was ready to get it on. Akamaru was still a little unsure.

"Well alright then. Bring out the champion!" Another man yelled. A man in the background unlatched a cage with a chicken in it and let the fowl free into the pen, which was wildly bucking at nothing. Akamaru gulped, but Hawku only smiled at the dog in assurance and jumped into the arena, ready to go.

5 minutes later…

With both chickens tired after a wild battle, it was mostly repeating itself. The champion would always buck at Hawku, and he would dodge to the left and try to buck at him, which the chicken dodged and repeated his buck. Both of them had a few scratches on their bodies but it wasn't anything life-threatening or even showing if someone would win.

"C'mon Hawku! You can do it!" Akamaru yelled.

Another 5 minutes later…

Nothing had changed. It was just the same thing over and over. The same buck, same dodge, same attacks over and over. Hawku knew this was going nowhere, so he decided to step it up a notch. Instead of dodging to the left, he backed up when the champion bucked and didn't attack. When the other chicken charged for another assault, he charged back and landed a beak right to the face, a deep gash now embedded in the chicken's face.

"CAW!" The champion yelled as it fell on the ground, writhed with pain. Hawku cawed in triumph as the men cheered loudly, as the champion had finally been beaten.

"Great match!" One man yelled.

"Astonishing!" Another screamed.

"Awesome!" Someone said.

"And the winner is…wait what's your name again?"

"Akamaru." Akamaru answered.

"Akamaru!!!" All the men cheered and yelled. "Here's your prize sir." The man gave Akamaru a big sack of money and Hawku cawed loudly in victory.

"Thanks!" Akamaru said as he and Hawku started to walk off.

"Hey wait! You're the champ! You gotta stay!"

"What's all that noise down there!?" A man yelled from outside of the alley.

"Crap! It's the 5-0!" All the men quickly grabbed their fowl and ran out the place, that including Akamaru. He didn't stop running until he knew he were safe, which was pretty far since he ran like 10 blocks. When all was done, they both smiled upon a riches of 10 grand.

"Awesome dude…" Hawku said. "Now that was something memorable." Hawku and Akamaru both poofed off into regular form. Hawku opened the bag with his beak and gazed at all the bills in front of them. He grinned at Akamaru who grinned back.

"I'M RICH BIOCH!!!" Hawku yelled, laughing all the while.

"Ahem." Akamaru said.

"Oh yeah right…we're rich. Sorry."

"No prob. So…what we gonna do with all this?" Akamaru asked. Hawku looked around the neighborhood they were in and smiled at a nearby store.

"Hey, can you poof back into human again?" Hawku asked.

"Sure, why?" Akamaru questioned. The afro bird pointed his wing to a diamond-encrusted sign that said 'Le Pet 4 U'. They both smiled and Akamaru poofed back into human form to go check it out.

Back with the humans…

Kiba sighed as he flopped back on the couch, still worried about his dog companion. The others had been talking amongst themselves and Hikari had just walked over to Kiba. Hinata, who had just come back herself, was back to her shy self. Except around Sasuke, who she got strangely pissed at for no reason.

"Aww…you okay Kiba?" Hikari asked motherly.

"Yeah, I'm just worried about Akamaru. Who knows what could happen to him out there?" Kiba answered nervously, officially ready to have a mental breakdown.

"Don't worry Kiba-kun. Chances are he's with Afro-kun, and knowing him they'll show up soon enough in some ridiculously show off fashion, just like he always does." (Only Hikari may call me Afro-kun. And Rika. But you probably don't know Rika so I don't know why I'm still talking)

"You think so?" Kiba perked up.

"Trust me." Hikari answered. They were soon interrupted by a loud scream from the front door, a scream not sounding like a cry for help, more like a 'that is SO adorable' scream. Nonetheless, all the ninja present quickly dashed to the front door to discover the cause for a scream such as that. When they got there they were utterly shocked for the second time that day (first time for Hikari).

In walked Kiba and Hawku, each with their own 'rich-like' apparel. Hawku had on a purple feather jacket (oh the irony) , a shining blinking collar with dimmed rainbow lights, and a matching purple hat with one of his own feathers in the top. Meanwhile, Akamaru had on a blinking collar similar to his feathered friend, but it was a lot brighter. He also had on a blue doggy shirt and his paws had been painted light blue. He had the bag of money right there in his mouth, and both mammals had on their sunglasses, walking in as slow as ever. It was like fashion hour but for pets.

Hikari went from a mouth agape to smirking, realizing she was right all along. Kiba couldn't believe how much she knew the boy, or that his dog wore that kind of stuff! Or could afford it for that matter. Everyone else in the pack had their mouths wide open, making them good targets for flies to go right in and…I'm getting off-topic again.

The attendants who were at the front desk were screaming and giggling, exclaiming 'they were so adorable!'.

"Show off." Kakashi muttered under his breath.

"It's what I do baby, it's what I do." Hawku answered. "Ain't that right Akamaru?" And the canine companion says…yes! (He barked in approval).

"Well, I've seen just about everything today, I'm going to bed." Shikamaru moaned as he walked off.

"What's his problem?" Hawku asked.

"He's…you know…Shikamaru." Ino answered as best she could. "But I have to agree a little with him, I'm kind of tired too."

"Yeah, we might as well hit the hay anyway, this chapter is getting way too long for us to control any further." Hawku said intellectually.

"That's true. Besides, I'm beat." Hikari admitted. "C'mon Kiba-kun, Afro-kun." Kiba yawned loudly and followed while Hawku and Akamaru walked slower to show off some more. The others soon complied with going to sleep and were all heading off to their respective rooms. However, two kunoichi stopped when they realized who they were sleeping with. Those two kunoichi were Tenten and Hinata, and only one thought crossed their minds as they slowly walked to their rooms.

"I have to sleep with him again!"

And that's the extremely long chapter for ya! I'm really sorry about that super long waiting time for the update I know. I've been a bit busy with this whole summer thing started, I've been recently getting into some music, and all that good stuff about my life you probably don't care too much about. This chapter is officially 300+ words more than chapter 12 baby! It's only 300 words, but it's those extra words that make all the thing worth while am I right? Read and review guys!!!
