As I said before, there will be references to Yu Yu Hakusho, (only in the first few paragraphs), not many though, it's boring if you don't really know what's happing, but read it normally because it don't matter (much)!

Unwanted
Chapter 22 – The Sleepover
--
They all sat down, on either couch or floor, with popcorn, pop, candy, chocolate, chips and whatever else they could find in their apartment. They started the movie. Ayame cheered for Kurama the whole thing, though he only had a small part in the overall movie itself. Hiei, Cagalli's personal favorite guy, turned into a green demon in the movie. They laughed at her because for some reason, Hiei somehow lost his shirt in every battle.
As the movie ended and the credits appeared, everyone yawned and got up to stretch their limbs. Ayame finished their third bowl of popcorn, not willing to waste the delicacy of the over-buttered popcorn, then she put another popcorn bag into the microwave.
They got ready to play 'spin the bottle'.
"I don't think I'll play…" Cagalli got up from the nicely arranged circle of people.
"C'mon, it'll be fun!" urged Naruto, a little drunk from the beer he 'snuck' from the liquor store; he used the sexy jutsu (with some clothes on, though) to make himself look 18 to get the liquor. Because of the beer, everyone was a little drunk.
"No thank you, I really don't feel like it right now." She left the warm, welcoming living room of their apartment to go to the cool, lonely bedroom beside it. She closed the door, but she could still hear their laughing.
"Guess the booze got to her." Remarked Sasuke as he spun the empty pop bottle.
"Don't think so," replied Naruto, hoping the bottle wouldn't point to him, "she's sad because Gaara isn't here."
The bottle pointed to Ayame, and she and Sasuke exchanged a long kiss.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Katya agreed, then since she sat next to Sasuke, her turn was next. "I hope I get Naruto." She spun the bottle.
Naruto was praying it would land on him, so that he had an excuse to kiss Katya again. It didn't. When the bottle finished spinning, it was pointing towards Sasuke.
"Oooh! Another!" Sasuke rubbed his hands together, more drunk then anyone else.
"Get your own girl!" Naruto yelled angrily. "Katya's mine, you kiss her, you die!"
"Sorry, bud, it's the game!" he leaned over to kiss Katya, but made it a quick one so that Naruto couldn't complain.
"Stupid Sasuke!" Naruto thought, making a vow to kiss Katya really long when it was their turn. Ayame sat next to Katya, so she spun the plastic container next. To
Naruto's great disgust, it pointed towards him. "So I don't get Katya, but I get Ayame? Jeez, I shouldn't have agreed to play this game."
He kissed her, but in great pain.
But the most comical thing that whole night was, that for the half hour they played 'spin the bottle', Naruto and Katya never kissed.
--
"That was fun!" Sasuke lay back, full of kisses.
"I can't believe I didn't kiss Katya!" Naruto thought aloud, thinking that he really was only thinking, not speaking.
"It's okay, Naruto, I'll kiss you when it's pitch black, a little later. Ok?" she moved beside him.
"We should get Cagalli," suggested Ayame, "so we can play 'truth or dare'."
"I'll get her!" Naruto volunteered, jumping up. He went to what he thought she went and opened the door. He saw a lump in one of the three beds. "She's asleep!" he called to them. "Should I wake her up?" They told him to, incase she wanted to play.
He shook the lump, but aside from his movements the lump didn't move on it's own.
"Cagalli!" he said softly. "We're playing truth or dare, wanna play?" again, she didn't move nor answer. "Dude! Wake up!" he grabbed the edge of the blanket and pulled
it off her.
"Uh…Katya?" Naruto called.
"What is it? Is she up?"
"One question. Does Cagalli turn into a pile of clothes while she sleeps, or did she put this here?" confused with the question, the other three went to join him. Sure enough, Cagalli had placed a pile of clothes in her bed to make it look like she was there, asleep.
"Let's go look for her," suggested Ayame, "she wouldn't have bothered to make it look like she was here and sneak out if there wasn't something important for her to do. And when it comes to Cagalli, her 'important' things to do usually get her hurt. So let's go!"
--
"Open up!" Cagalli bashed on the door. "Open up, I know at least one of you are here! Fine, I'll pick the lock, but I'm coming in!"
"Shhh!" she heard a voice from inside.
"Open the door!"
"Coming!" the voice replied. "Jeez, who is out this late?" the door opened, and a dead looking Kankuro answered.
"Where's Gaara?" she demanded. "And I tried to call you, why didn't you pick up?"
"Gaara said he'd kill my phone, maybe me too, if I didn't turn it off when it started to ring." He replied, then yawned. "Gaara's in that extra bedroom, he insisted on getting a two bedroom hotel, so that's what we did."
"Thanks." She ran towards the door Kankuro pointed at, ignoring Temari who was complaining about the midnight awakening. "Gaara!" she knocked quietly on the door, not wanting to piss him off.
The door opened slowly, and from behind the one and a half inches of wood came Gaara, looking pissed.
"What?" was he blunt response.
"Well," she swallowed, seeing the plain peeviness in Gaara's eyes, "I know you don't
like me, actually you might hate me. Katya, my friend and roommate, invited Naruto to her sleepover, and Ayame, my other friend and roommate, invited Sasuke. I felt so jealous that I had to come over and ask if you wanted to come too. We've already watched a movie, and when I left they were playing 'spin the bottle'." She ended her speech with a sigh.
"Do you really like me that much," Gaara replied after a few moments of awkward silence, "or do you want me to come because you're jealous?"
"…" she looked at the floor. "I am jealous, and that is part of the reason I want you to come but…" she looked into the two blue eyes that studied her, "I love you, and I don't want to always be alone and wondering what you're doing now, or anything else like that!"
"No, I won't go."
"But…"
"I don't want to join in on your stupid gatherings. Leave." He closed the door in her
face.
"Don't close the door on me, Gaara! Bastard, open this door!" she slammed her fist on it. "Fine, ignore me!" she turned around to leave, but she felt a hand touch her shoulder, and out of reflexes she spun around.
"You'll never gain my trust if you call me a bastard and slam on my door all the time, you know."
"What'd you want?" she asked sourly.
"I thought you wanted me to come over, didn't you? Or did that change with the
loud thump?"

Flashback:

"Temari?" Gaara opened his door a crack, so that he could see his brother and sister. "Kankuro?"
"Eep!" Kankuro gasped and ran to the corner farthest from Gaara.
"Y-Yes, Gaara?" Temari asked hesitantly. Gaara opened his door the rest of the way.
"I've never talked to you like this before," he started, "and I'm doing so now because I've thought about…life. At first I thought that my purpose in life was to kill everyone else in the world." Temari nodded in agreement. "But what will I do if I do kill everyone?"
His question seemed so kind and thoughtful, that Temari wished she could answer it in a nice way, but she couldn't think of any way to do so.
"I don't know, Gaara." she replied. "I guess there wouldn't be anything you could do…"
"Exactly." he replied. "And it is very unlikely that I will kill everybody, but if I threw my life away trying to do so, my life would still mean nothing because I could never accomplish my goal. Right?"
"R-Right…"
"So…" there was a long pause that lasted almost five minutes. In those five minutes, you couldn't even hear any of the three of them breath. "Temari…I'm going to give 'love' another try." he choked on the word 'love'.
"That's good, Gaara!" was the only thing she could think of saying.
"And Kankuro," he turned to his scared brother who trembled in the corner, "I won't kill you now, but if my experiment doesn't work, I will go back to killing people, and you two will be my first victims."

"I'm so glad you are going to try to love again, Gaara!" Cagalli walked beside the black clad boy she was so deeply in love with.
"I have one question, though," he said as he rubbed his hands together, a little chilled from the night air, "why did you yell at me? Do you not 'like' me anymore?"
"No, that's not it!" she sighed, remembering how mad she got. "No, I was only angry because you said you wouldn't come with me…I didn't mean to call you that either."
"That's good."

"OMG!" Ayame gasped as they saw who they were looking for walking towards their apartment with her crush. She turned to Katya and whispered, "OMG! Do you see that? OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Etc."
"Stop 'OMG'ing already!" Katya clasped her hand over Ayame's mouth so she could hear their conversation.
"I feel happy for her." Naruto whispered to Sasuke.
"She's hot, really hot…silver hair is so hot, even Kakashi-sensei's." Naruto looked weirdly at Sasuke, who shrugged.
"What?" he asked. "I'm not gay, I'm just saying." Naruto replied with a 'suuuureee', then they all listened to the two talk.
"How do you play 'truth or dare'?" asked Gaara, not so informed with that game. "I've never even heard of it."
"Well…" she went into a deeply short explanation of 'truth or dare'.
"Oh…so you could make someone do anything?" he asked, some idea's running through his head.
"Well, yes and no. You can tell them to do anything, but if they really don't want to, they can drop out for the rest of the game or round, depending how you play it." she replied, glad to be finally talking to him.
"Alright," Katya whispered to the other three, "let's go back so we're there before them."
