Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, although I do have Kiba locked in my closet…
All's Fair in Love and Snowball Fights
"Psht," Temari snorted. "Some Chuunin rank ninja you are."
"Hn," Gaara agreed. (Or disagreed. Or just said, I'm not really sure, all his 'Hn's sound the same.)
"Ehehehehehehe, gu-tenmorugen, Temari-san, Gaara-san. What brings you to Konohagakure no Sato on this most pleasant of days?" Konohamaru asked as Naruto scrambled to his feet.
Temari sighed. "First off, it's freezing, second, none of your business, and third, Kankuro isn't here, Kono-baka, so knock it off."
Kankuro sighed in relief. "Oh, good. Phew."
"Do you guys know where Shika-kun is?" Temari asked Hinata and Kiba.
Gaara shifted unhappily.
"I-I I mean uh, uh I, uh, wanted to um, give- uh, show- hm, I wanted to thank him? For, hm, uh, helping us? On our last mission," Temari conjured up.
Hinata suppressed a giggle. "No, but Kiba-kun and Naruto-kun do. I was just about to leave with them with Hanabi-chan. Would you like to join us?" Hinata asked.
Temari nodded as Gaara sighed.
LATER
Temari looked around the mass of people at Ichiraku's. She found Shikamaru sitting near the corner, sitting next to that Ino-banpaia (Ino-vampire… hehehe, vampire pig!) and talking to her.
Temari stealthily snuck up beside them.
"So you know, Shikamaru-kun, I definitely look nicer than that Temari, and my hair is a natural blonde. That turns you on, doesn't it, Shikamaru?" Ino asked, latching onto his arm.
Shikamaru pulled his arm away. "Ino, beat it, come on! Troublesome…" Shikamaru muttered.
Natural blonde hair? Why I- Ooh! Idea! Temari thought.
Temari quietly ordered a bowl of ramen. She walked over to Shikamaru and the banpaia Ino. "Oh, Shikamaru, hi!" Temari said as she 'accidentally' dropped the bowl of ramen on Ino's head and her natural blonde hair. "Oh, my God, I'm so sorry!" Temari cried.
"No, it's okay…" Ino mumbled angrily.
"Oh, my, I'm so clumsy all the time!" Temari wailed. "Why don't you let me help you with that?" Temari asked politely.
"No, really it's okay, I got it!" Ino cried between gritted teeth.
Temari noticed something weird. "Hey, excuse me, are you alright?"
"Yes! I'm fine! Please go away, Temari!" Ino yelled.
"No, I mean your hair… You might want to rinse it out the ramen is-"
As Shikamaru pulled the bowl off of Ino's head to stop the troublesome argument between the two, he smirked.
"Well, Ino, what was that you were saying about natural blonde hair?" Shikamaru asked.
When Shikamaru pulled the bowl off of Ino's head, a large clump of her hair turned brown. Not too dark, but definitely brunette, if not dirty blonde.
"I'll see you around, Shikamaru!" Ino said, running off toward her home.
Temari sat down contentedly next to Shikamaru. He smiled at her and draped his arm around her waist.
Gaara walked over to her and sat down, first grimacing at the sight of his sister with Shikamaru. "How stupid."
LATER, AFTER THE GROUP GOT THEIR FOOD AND STUFF, AT SOME WEIRD UNKNOWN MEADOW/VALLEY
"SPIN THE BOTTLE!" Naruto declared.
Hanabi smiled and looked toward Kiba, who was standing next to her and Hinata.
Hinata frowned. "Now Hanabi, I don't know about this…"
"Don't worry, Hinata, you'll probably get Naruto or Shino or something," Hanabi consoled.
"But I don't like Naruto or Shino." Hinata shook her head. "And that's not what I'm talking about!"
"Oh, so you're not afraid of your first kiss?" Hanabi asked.
Hinata reddened a bit. "N-no, Hanabi! I'm worried about yours!" Hinata scolded.
"Why?" Hanabi whined. "It's okay, I'll end up marrying K-"
Hinata sighed. "Hanabi, these people are five years older than you! And Naruto-kun and Shikamaru-kun are dating!"
"So? I won't get them, I'll get K-"
"Hanabi! Stop it! You don't live in a world where everything happens the way you want it to! Well, at home you do, but that's not what I'm talking about," Hinata reasoned.
Hanabi thought for a moment.
"Please, I'm not going to make you, but please back out," Hinata said.
"Alright!" Naruto continued loudly. "If anyone wants to back out, just sit on the bench."
Hanabi stayed where she was stubbornly.
Kiba tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, Hanabi, look at Konohamaru," Kiba said.
Hanabi glanced in his direction. "So?"
"He's not backing out. And if he doesn't, there's a good chance he might get y-"
Hanabi winced and ran for the bench.
Hinata sighed. "Thank you, Kiba-kun."
Kiba smiled softly. "No problem, Hinata. And speaking of problems, I'm going to help Shikamaru with Ino and Temari, okay?"
Hinata giggled. "Okay, go ahead."
Hanabi gasped loudly as Hinata giggled.
Hinata looked toward the bench. Sitting on it were Hanabi, Moegi, and Konohamaru.
"What?" She asked.
"You like Kiba-kun!" Hanabi said giggling.
"I d-don't!" Hinata gasped.
"Whatever!" Hanabi echoed.
"The rule is no grandma-kisses, real kisses, you guys! Ten second kisses at least. All right then! If that's everyone, please sit in a circle, Sakura-chan can go first!" Naruto shrieked, handing Sakura a soda bottle. "Oh, and if you can cheat, go ahead, that makes it more interesting, but if you get caught, you'll get disqualified. Sorry, that's the rules," Naruto added.
Okay! Next chapter, the spin the bottle is launched! And in advance all the people that get paired during spin the bottle are random, except one and I needed to start a new point in the story. All the pairs were drawn out of a hat! I swear, no kidding! Okay, enjoy and good night! (For me anyways, because it's 1:05)
