AN: Hey everybody! Glad you all liked Chapter nine! I really worked hard on that so it nice to know it didn't stink! Now this is just kinda a filler chapter. I'm not sure what to do next so I'll leave it to my loyal reviewers. Would you like me to get into the Akatsuki or should I just end it in the next chapter like I originally planned? (with a epilogue). For now however, here is Chapter Ten! Oh, sorry I didn't update sooner, my mum got sick so yeah anyway, on with the chapter!

P.S- I don't own Naruto, if I did, Asuma would be alive and with Kurenai - sensei! (whimper…..)

Chapter Ten

Sleepover at Hinata's

After a long night of fighting and a long day of cleaning up, the group of teenagers where exhausted to say the least.

"Man, this stinks!" complained Naruto.

"Ya think? Man, looks like we are going to have to crash at the hospital…." Sighed Shikamaru.

The group was outside the damaged Ninja academy. Many of the homes where blocked thanks to extreme damage from the snakes and fighting so, many of the streets where total blocked off until they were repaired well enough for people to pass. Including Shikamaru's, Sasuke's, Naruto's and Sakura's places.

"Yeah…but the thing is I really don't want to go there because they are overwhelmed as it is…."

At that moment, Kakashi appeared in front of the group.

"Hey guys."

"So, what are our orders?" asked Kiba who was sitting on top of a sleeping Akamaru.

"To put it simply? Rest. There's nothing really nothing more you all can do. Not in the condition you all are in right now at any rate. Oh, and everyone is coming back, dunno when but they are heading back."

"That's good." Said Hinata with a small smile.

"Well, that's it. Later." And with that, the copy-cat ninja disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Man what a drag. What are we going to do now?" sighed Shikamaru.

Hinata thought for a moment then got an idea.

"We could all go back to my place."

Everyone looked at Hinata with raised eyebrows.

"Are you sure that would be okay Hinata?"

The Hyuga nodded her head.

"No one is there and it's far enough away from all the noise here but close enough if something happened we would be near."

Neji nodded and added,

"It's big enough for all of us and seeing as how the hospital is the only other option…."

"I vote to go!" said Naruto instantly.

Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Big surprise. But I'm with him."

Everyone nodded in agreement. So with that, everyone headed out to the Hyuga mansion.

It was eight o'clock once they finally got there. Even Naruto was dragging his feet. None of them had gotten more than two hours sleep in the last 24 hours.

The group entered into the large mansion and into the large living room. Akamaru sat outside on the porch, already chasing cats in his dreams. Naruto threw himself down on the couch, and sighed taking in the large Hyuga mansion.

"Wow, Hinata-chan, this place is beautiful." Smiled TenTen.

"Thanks. I'll just go and get some spare blankets and pillows."

"Oh here Hinata, let us help you." Said Sakura, who followed her along with Temari, Ino and TenTen.

"Hey Naruto, did….?" Kiba turned to see Naruto already curled up on the couch, fast asleep.

"Boy, that didn't take him long."

Sasuke chuckled,

"After fighting big snakes and sound ninja, then fighting and killing one of the most powerful and darkest ninja of all time would even make him a little on the tired side."

Choji then got a mean idea. Grinning, he went over and twisted Naruto's nose.

"WHAT! Damn it Choji!" yelled Naruto as Choji ran for it. Naruto took one of the hard toss pillows off the couch intending to hit Choji but of course missed and instead hit Kankuro instead.

"HEY!"

"Uh? Oh sorry!"

Sasuke started to laugh and Naruto took that as a dare. So he hit Sasuke with another pillow.

"Naruto!"

Sasuke grabbed the pillow that Naruto hit him with intending to hit the blonde instead he hit Neji who was dumb enough to stand beside the couch.

"Okay that's it!"

Well, even Neji's aim was bad for he hit Shikamaru whose hit lead to Lee, who hit Kiba, who went to smack Naruto but ran into Shikamaru who got Kankuro, then Naruto aiming again for Choji, got Gaara. Naruto and the rest just froze not sure what Gaara would do, who forutaly had softened over the years, just skipped the pillows and just grabbed Naruto and wrestled with him. In the five minutes the girls had gone the boys had gotten themselves into a full fledged war involving punching, headlocks, toss pillows and couch cushions. And they were having a ball.

When Temari, TenTen, Sakura, Hinata, and Ino came out they took one look at the boys messing around calling each other names, hitting, wrestling, laughing, smacking each other with pillows which lead for a group sweat drop.

"Uh..?"

"Leave it to me." Sighed Sakura who took one of the pillows that they had brought out and whacked Naruto on the head due to the fact he was on the floor and not far from her.

"OW! HEY…Oh boy….uh…hey Sakura!"

Sakura looked down at Naruto and Sasuke with her hands on her hips.

The rest of the boys stopped abruptly at the sound of the name.

"What in the name of the fourth Hokage are you all doing?"

"Choji started it!" complained Naruto getting up and glaring at the large ninja.

Ino rolled her eyes and threw the blankets and pillows that she was carrying at Choji.

"Whatever. Can't you guys ever act your age?!"

"That's a silly question, of course not." Laughed TenTen. (This comment earned her a few glares.)

As the boys started to pick were they were going to sleep, the girls "helped" by observing. Naruto claimed the couch but alas, Neji had the cushions; until Hinata told him to give them back. (When Hinata turned her back Naruto stuck his tongue out at him.) Once the boys had calmed down, the girls started to leave.

"Hey, where are you all going?" asked Sasuke looking at Sakura's back. ((yeah, right)).

"Uh? Oh, Hinata's room." Said Sakura turning to look at Sasuke.

"What? Aren't you going stay in here with us?" asked Naruto with a pout at Hinata.

"No, we are going to go and sleep in Hinata's room." Said TenTen.

"Yeah, that way we're guaranteed some sleep." Chuckled Temari.

"THAT and it's time for serious girl talk!" giggled Ino, who wrapped her arm around Sakura.

"Yeah, come on girls." Giggled Sakura who wrapped her arms around Hinata, then together the girls left.

"Yeah love you too!" complained Sai calling after them.

"No kidding!" added Naruto.

"Good Night boys." Giggled Temari.

"Oh well, we need to get some sleep anyway." Said Neji getting under the covers. No sooner had he said that, a roar of giggles came from Hinata's room.

As one, the guys groaned.

"This is going to be a total drag."

In Hinata's room,

"Shush! The boys are probably trying to sleep!" reproached Hinata at the other four.

"S-sorry." Laughed Ino.

"Yeah, it just did you see the sad looks on their faces?" chuckled Temari throwing her blanket and pillow on the floor then herself.

"Well, at least we know they love us." Giggled Sakura.

"Yeah…" sighed Hinata happily as she got into her own bed.

"Okay, so who wants to talk about their kiss first?" giggled Ino.

"Huh?!" gapped Hinata.

"I'll go first." Smirked Temari.

"Is he as lazy kisser as he is a ninja?" giggled Ino, taking her long hair out of it's' ponytail and then lying down on her stomach then propping her head up on her arms.

"Truthfully…no." laughed Temari.

The girls roared in laughter again, and therefore another round of groans came from the living room.

"What could they possible be talking about?" complained Naruto taking his pillow and covering his ears with it.

"How good kissers you guys are." Smirked Gaara who was the closest to the door that lead into the hall.

"You're kidding." Said Sasuke who was right beside Naruto on the floor. (Next to Sasuke was Sai then Lee, In front of the door way was Shikamaru, Gaara beside the door and in front of him was Choji and Shino, and lying across from them was Kiba and Kankuro.)

"Nope."

Sai laughed, putting his hands behind his head as he lay back on his bed he said,

"Bet cha I'm better than Naruto."

"YEAH RIGHT."

"Is there really a point to this?" asked Neji with his eyes closed.

"Nice try. I'm probably better."

"You?! Mr. Dark and gloomily and totally ignored Sakura. I don't think so!"

"What if we say I was the best and leave it at that."

"Okay now who's talking? You are such a lazy bum I'm surprised you put the effort into it." Laughed Sai.

Kankuro laughed and said,

"No kidding."

Shikamaru glared at the two and said,

"Forget it. Let's try and get some sleep huh?"

"Yeah, I'm with Shikamaru-kun." Yawned Choji.

"Yeah…" said Naruto turning over pulling his blanket over him as he did.

A moment of silence and then…

"Bet I'm a better kisser than you Sasuke."

"NARUTO SHUT UP!"

The girls looked up at the sound of all the boys as one yelling at Naruto which lead into another wave of giggles.

"Well-l, we'd better be kind and go to sleep." Sighed Sakura.

The others nodded and curled up as Hinata turned the light off.

Later…

Once all the boys where asleep, the girls snuck out of Hinata's room and decided to be nice and curl up with the guys. Hinata tipped toed around Sasuke and very quietly and slipped under the blanket then gently laid her head on Naruto's chest. Temari as she snuggled up to Shikamaru almost gave out a small squeak when Shikamaru turned on his side and wrapped his arms around her to bring the sand ninja closer to him. She elbowed him lightly and he just grinned. Ino quietly curled up beside Sai, kissing him on the forehead as she did. TenTen curled up beside Lee, as she Lee smiled and wrapped one arm around her to bring her closer. Just as Sakura got under the covers, Sasuke gently brought his arms around her, as she placed her arms on his chest. Both smiling.

Little did they notice Gaara was smiling as well.

And so for the rest of the Night they slept curled up tight together.

Morning….

Konohamaru and Hanabi ran around the estate of the Hyugas, giggling as they searched for our favorite Heros. The two suddenly but quietly skidded into the room where the group was resting. Konohamaru and Hanabi looked wide eyed at the group then at each other, and then went into silent snickers. Gaara slowly opened one eye and smirked at the two young ninja.

"Hiashi -sama, we found them!" called out Konohamaru careful not to wake the sleeping teenagers.

"Eh?" Hiashi, Tsunade, Kakashi and Jiraiya all walked in to see the funny site. Gaara was sitting in a chair near the door arms folded and asleep (so it seemed), and spread out on the floor were Shino, Neji, Kiba, and Choji. While Shikamaru/Temari, Lee/TenTen, Sai/Ino, and Sasuke/Sakura were curled up into each other. Hiashi suddenly took his eyes off the ground and to the couch. His eyes widen slightly at the sight.

Hinata was curled up on Naruto Uzumaki's chest. Both looked very happy and very peaceful curled up together. Tsunade snickered at the look on Hiashi's face.

At that moment, Hinata who was closer to the back of the couch, turned that way and pulled the blanket closer to her as she did. She also accidentally pushed Naruto off the couch he was that close to the edge.

BANG!

"OW DAMN IT!" yelled Naruto.

"NARUTO YOU BAKA GET OFF ME!" yelled a somewhat winded Sasuke, pushing off his teammate. Hinata sleepy opened her eyes then they widen and looked down to see Naruto on top of Sasuke. Luckily for Sakura, she had gotten on the left side of Sasuke so when Naruto fell off the couch, he landed on Sasuke instead of her. Lucky Sasuke. Not so lucky Naruto.

"Um, N-Naruto are you…?"

"You-hopeless-LOSER!" growled Sasuke as he hit the just mentioned ninja on the skull.

"Ow! Hey! SORRY I DIDN'T DO IT ON PROPOSE YOU JERK!" he said forehead to forehead to Sasuke.

"Would you two please shut up?" complained Temari not bothering to open her eyes.

"Yeah, can it." Agreed Shikamaru, too lazy to open his eyes.

Sakura opened one eye to look up at the two and said with a smirk,

"I wouldn't glare at each that close if I were you two; remember what happen the last time you did."

The two quickly made a gap between each other praying to whatever god that was out there for that "incident" to NEVER EVER happen again so long as they were both still breathing. The two glared at each other for another five seconds before returning to their girlfriends.

Sasuke pushed Sakura over with his foot before he lay back down on the floor earning himself a small smack. A smile crept onto his face as he wrapped his arms around her.

Naruto sighed and snuck back under the blankets with Hinata, kissed her lightly on the cheek which she returned, and then the two cuddled up with each other. Everyone got comfortable again when Naruto decided that he just had to ask. Which pretty much guaranteed his death as well…

"Hey Sasuke I gotta ask, who's better me or Sakura."

WHAM!
Both Sasuke's and Sakura's fists came in contacted with Naruto's head at the same time. Hinata sighed, placed her hand over her eyes and shock her head as her num-skull of a boyfriend got into trouble with his teammates.

"How could you?" yelled Sakura.

"S-sorry! IT WAS A JOKE!"

"Some joke! You loser!"

(Smack!)

"If you don't mind I really wish to forget that horrible experience for once and for all!"

"Yeah, me too!"

"Then why did you bring it up?"

"TO MAKE YOU TWO SHUT UP!"

"You never answered me my question by the way."

SMACK!

"Naruto, if you don't can it, I'LL GET UP AND SHUT YOU UP MYSELF!" (Temari)

"If it'll make ya shut up! Sakura of course you baka!"

"Yeah well you're not that nice either. Hinata beats you…AKKK!!"

Sakura jumped up on the couch, folded her legs, leaned her head on her hand, glared at her two baka friends as they fought on the floor, and then blew her hair out of her face. Hinata just sighed at the two. In the end, Sasuke won the wrestling match, smack him on the head again, Sakura rolled her eyes at Hinata, then got up, stepped a well placed foot on Naruto's back, then curled up again with her boyfriend. Naruto glared at the two as Hinata pulled him back to her on the couch, wrapped her arms around him which made him calm down. He smiled at the white-eyed girl and then curled up back beside her. Again, everyone settled down, sweet warmth and love over came them…Tsunade then decided that she needed to end it and cleared her throat.

The reaction was extremely funny to say the least.

Naruto fell off the couch with a load "THUD" missing Sasuke this time. Sasuke and Sakura both got up so fast that their necks popped, Temari and Shikamaru very slowly got up and rubbed their eyes and analyzed what was going on, Neji jerked up so fast that he hit his head with Shino's, Choji just looked around dumbly, Kiba growled at looked over at Naruto thinking he had something to do with the nose, and Sai and Ino quickly got up the same time as Kankuro, Temari, Gaara (who was the most composed one out of the lot), and Shikamaru did. Tsunade waited calmly (it was so hard not to laugh that her face was hurting it was that funny) for them all to stand up before speaking. Naruto said sorry to them and Tsunade let out a small chuckle,

"It's okay. Any, just thought you lot would like to know that everyone is back so if you want to go see your families now you can." The group nodded. (And inwardly sighed a breath of relief.) Kakashi was silently laughing behind his mask.

"Alright! Who's up for breakfast?" said Choji.

"ME!" said Naruto, Sai, Kiba and Konohamaru as one.

Hinata giggled as the four went outside to head to where ever they were heading, the rest slowly got their things to getter and thanked Hinata and Neji before they left. Once everyone else had gone, Hiashi turned to his daughter.

"So, you and Uzumaki huh?"

Hinata went a little wide eyed then looked at her father straight into his eyes and said,

"Yes, Naruto asked me and I said yes." Hiashi instead of frowning, he smiled, shocking Hinata.

"I see, you and the soon to be Hokage. Not a bad match. Are you sure though he is the one you wish is a bit…hyper?"

Hinata smiled back her father and said,

"Yes."

As Hinata ran off to find her love of her life,

Hiashi looked proudly after her,

"Ever since she started to be with Uzumaki, she has grown in a powerful ninja. She no longer stutters and for the first time in her life she looked me straight in the eye. That boy is quite amazing indeed…And so are you my daughter."

Hinata found Naruto along with Kiba, Choji, Sai, and Konohamaru all at the ramen bar, woofing down food. Naruto looked up to Hinata with a funny look on her face.

"What's up Hinata?"

"Uh? Oh nothing. Just that father doesn't mind me being with the best ninja around." She said cheekily at him.

Naruto laughed and Kiba half choked due to the fact he had never heard Hinata sound like that.

Kiba turned to look at his teammate, a proud smile on his face.

"Hey guys!"

The group turned to see Ino and Sakura running towards them.

"What's up?" asked Choji between bites.

"A festival that's what!" giggled Ino.

"Yeah, tomorrow night, after a special ceremony." Smiled Sakura looking at Naruto who grinned at her then Hinata.

"Hinata, want to be my date?"

Hinata giggled then said with a very Naruto-ish smile,

"Thought you would never ask, Naruto-kun."

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