A/N: Okay, so last chapter got cut off short so the scroll bar thingy wouldn't be mega small. So Chapter 5 will pick up everything and hopefully end it.

Hasabusa, the secret behind those "sessions" will be revealed soon…I hope. It depends on how long it takes me to write the upcoming chapters…

Deliahgirl, I know how you feel. I got phantom pains when Gaara was going through rehab. I would have gone into more detail but this is rated T…

Thanks for the reviews!

Enjoy!

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

"Ten…"

"…Ten."

"I think she's coming to."

"Yeah, she's moving."

"Thank goodness!"

"TENTEN'S ALIVE!"

"SERIOUSLY?"

Tenten cringed mentally. Those last two statements, by Gaara and Naruto, were more than enough to pull anyone out of sleep. Her eyes, still heavy, opened slightly to see everyone crowded above her.

"TENTEN!" Hinata's teary eyes and worried face caused a surge of guilt to course through her body. Right after that was a shock of pain.

"Where…am I?" The kunoichi managed weakly. Why the hell can't I move? Tenten thought irritably, looking up to see a massive pile of blankets on top of her.

"In the Hyuuga house, duh!" exclaimed Ino. Tenten shot her a glare.

"I feel like my organs are being crushed," Tenten said, hinting at Hinata. She stared for a minute then realized what Tenten meant. Grinning sheepishly, she began to pull the blankets off. Neji joined in after a bit.

Tenten took a deep breath, ignoring the searing pain. That was much better. "What time is it?"

"Uh…five minutes till 10," Temari said, checking the time.

"Seriously?!" Tenten jerked up, then groaned. That was way too fast. Hinata shot her a worried look, which Tenten returned with a weary smile.

"Want us to warm up your dinner?" Neji asked.

"Sure," Tenten replied, her stomach growling loudly. Hiding a smirk, Neji took a candle and headed for the kitchen. "What happened anyway?" The kunoichi asked the rest of the group.

"Well, the storm knocked out the power," Ino began.

"I know that. I was out there," Tenten rebuked.

"You nearly scared us-well, me, Ino and Gaara-" Sakura corrected herself after a glare from Sasuke, "half to death! We thought you were a ghost!"

"Ghost?" Tenten asked, bemused.

"It was dark and the lightning gave you an eerie glow! And the ragged breathing and talk wasn't helping!" Sakura protested.

Tenten laughed and winced. "Go on."

"Well, Father opened the door and Neji-san saw it was you, so we dragged you in, dried you off, set you in front of the fireplace, and here we are," Hinata finished.

"Oh wow. I'm sorry Hinata-san. I fell asleep after my shower and I woke up really late," Tenten apologized.

"It's alright, really. I'm just glad you're okay," Hinata responded.

"Here's your dinner. Can you move?" Neji emerged from kitchen carrying a steaming plate of food.

Tenten tried moving her arms. "Yeah, I'll manage," she said as she took the plate from Neji. The scent filled her nose and her stomach growled again. "Yeah, yeah, I'm feeding you," Tenten said, taking a bite as the others laughed.

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

"Mm, that was good…" Tenten said, setting her finished plate down. "Who made it?"

"Hinata did! She makes the best food I've ever tasted!" Naruto pointed enthusiastically. Hinata, who was picking up Tenten's plate, blushed fiercely at the compliment.

"That really was something, Hinata," Tenten said, smiling.

"Th-thanks," Hinata responded. She picked up a candle and went into the kitchen.

"I can't believe it's already 10:10 and the power still isn't on!" Ino complained.

"Hinata? Can I have more food?" Chouji whined, following the Hyuuga into the kitchen. A crashing sound, followed by Hinata's scream, caught everyone's attention. Everyone grabbed another candle or lantern and rushed into the kitchen, Neji supporting Tenten.

The added light to Hinata's candle on the kitchen counter showed a frightened kunoichi clasping her hands over her mouth and a dark figure at her feet, his legs caught between a tipped over chair.

"H-how about that f-food?" Chouji managed, his eyes swirling.

They all sweat dropped.

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

When the kitchen was cleaned up and Chouji was happily munching away on his fifths, it was near 10:30 and the power was still not back up.

"This is boring!" Ino complained, crossing her arms. They all sat in the living room in a circle.

"I know! How about truth or dare?" Sakura suggested, grinning.

"Are you serious?" Kiba and Kankuro asked immediately. Sasuke, Neji and Shino just stared at her, saying "No way."

"YOSH!" Lee agreed, jumping up to show his approval.

"Yeah! Let's play!" Temari said, enthusiastic. Gaara shrugged. Whatever was okay with his sister was okay with him, so long as he could cuddle Mr. Snugglebottoms through the game.

"Why don't we vote?" Tenten suggested. Everyone else shrugged, so it was a yes.

"All in favor?" Hinata asked, her hand going up. Temari, Gaara, Ino, Sakura, Tenten and Lee's hands all went up.

"All oppose?" Hinata asked. Sasuke, Neji, Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto and Kankuro's hands went up.

"It's a tie…" Hinata said, disappointed.

"Wait! Chouji has to vote!" Naruto said. Everyone turned to Chouji, who was finishing his food.

"Can I have some more?" he asked, extending his plate toward the Hyuuga heiress.

"Chouji! You have to vote!" Kiba yelled. Hinata shushed him. Hiashi was asleep upstairs and if they woke him up, they would all be kicked out, power or not.

"Vote for what?"

"Do you want to play the oh-so-youthful game of truth or dare?" Lee asked.

He shrugged. "I don't care."

"Chouji! Make a decision!" Kankuro said.

"This is so troublesome…" Shikamaru yawned.

"It depends. Do I get food if we play?"

"YES!" Ino and Sakura shouted immediately. Hinata shushed them.

"Okay, let's play then. More food please, Hinata?" Hinata smiled and went into the kitchen. All the guys except Lee groaned.

As soon as Hinata brought out the plate and settled in her spot, the game began.

"I'll go first!" Temari volunteered. "Um…Shikamaru, truth or dare?"

Shikamaru stared blankly. "Truth," he muttered staring at the wall.

"If you had to kiss any one girl in this circle, who would it be?" Shikamaru turned to the Sand kunoichi, dumbstruck. Temari just returned his look, a triumphant look on her face.

"Do I have to answer?" he asked uncomfortably.

"Yes," all the girls replied at once.

"Uh…I don't know!"

"You have to choose," Temari said coolly.

"Uh…" The Nara looked around. Ino? No. Sakura? Eh. Hinata? She was too shy and Neji would probably kill him. Tenten? No, Neji would kill him for that too.

"You." Shikamaru pointed at Temari, who lost her smile immediately.

"M-me?!" She asked, bewildered.

"Her?!" screeched Ino.

"You."

"W-why me?" Temari asked. She wasn't expecting this at all.

"Kiba, truth or dare?" Shikamaru asked the dog expert, ignoring the kunoichi's question.

"Dare," smirked the Inuzuka.

"Lock Akamaru in the Hyuuga's basement until morning."

"WHAT?!" Kiba protested.

"Hush!" Hinata scolded.

"Do I have to?" Kiba whined, hugging his beloved puppy. Akamaru, too, whimpered, not wanting to spend a night alone in a cold, dark basement.

"Yes." Shikamaru nodded.

Hanging his head, Kiba stood up. Hinata escorted him to the basement. Everyone in the living room heard the door creak open, Akamaru's insatiable yapping, the door shut and the two's footsteps back. When Kiba emerged, his face was streaked was tears. Hinata patted his back comfortingly and settled into her spot.

"N-Neji, tr-truth or d-dare?" Kiba hiccupped. Neji glared in reply.

"C'mon Neji. Don't spoil the game," Tenten coaxed.

"…Dare." The Hyuuga said unwillingly.

Kiba's face brightened and Neji's darkened. "I dare you to go outside without shoes, jump in puddles and scream 'I'M A CHICKEN!' until I say stop!" Kiba said gleefully, having forgotten about Akamaru for the time being.

Neji's eyebrow twitched. "No."

"Neji-" Tenten began.

"No."

"You have to!" Kiba said. "I had to lock poor Akamaru in a basement!" With this, he began bawling again. "OH AKAMARU!" he screamed. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!"

"Shhhh!" Hinata said again. "Please just do it, Neji-san," the kunoichi tried.

"No." Tenten got up and crawled over to him. She whispered something in his ear and pulled back.

"Okay?" The weapon mistress asked, surveying his face.

His eyebrow twitched again. "…Fine." Neji gave in and walked over to the door. Tenten smiled at him. The group got up and followed him outside, where the rain was still pouring buckets and the storm raged on.

Neji reluctantly walked out. I'm going to eat his dog for breakfast tomorrow, before he can get him out of the basement, Neji thought murderously at Kiba. He took a deep breath.

"I'M A CHICKEN! I'M A CHICKEN!" Neji started screaming, splashing in the puddles.

On the porch, everyone started cracking up. Even Hinata had a hard time hiding her big smile. Temari had to hold on to Gaara tight to keep him from joining Neji.

Kiba held up a video camera. "This one's going on the Internet!" he screamed joyfully over the howling winds.

Neji stopped short when he saw the flashing red light. "Keep going!" Kiba yelled. "I didn't say stop!"

"You just did," Neji answered, walking out of the rain. "And if that's not erased by tomorrow morning, I'm going to-"

"Okay! Let's get back inside!" Tenten interrupted before Neji could finish the thought. Everyone tromped back inside; Kiba was still upset at the shortcut Neji had taken.

Hinata, the first one to run in, met Neji at the door with a bunch of towels. He grabbed one and wiped himself down, then ran to change. When he came back, he was wearing a t-shirt and sweats, the towel wrapped around his shoulders.

"Um, okay. Let's move on. Neji, it's your turn," Tenten clapped her hands as she saw the Hyuuga give Kiba murderous looks. No doubt there were thoughts about killing the Inuzuka running through his mind.

"…Tenten. Truth or dare?"

"Uh…truth?" The kunoichi said uncertainly.

"If you had to play that one closet game-"

"Seven Minutes In Heaven?" Sakura interjected.

Neji glared at her. "Yes. That one. If you had to play that with any one guy here, who would it be?" He smirked, seeing the incredulous look on her face.

Now it was her turn to think murderous thoughts. "Any one guy here?" she repeated for confirmation.

Neji nodded. "Only one."

"You."

Neji blinked. Tenten's answer began to dawn on him. "Me?"

"You. Hinata, truth or dare?"

"T-truth."

"Who do you like?"

Hinata blushed red like a fire engine. Tenten hid a smile. If there was ever a time for Naruto to tune in, it was now. Her eyes went to the blond shinobi. Sure enough, his blue eyes were locked on the Hyuuga.

"I'm sorry. What?" Tenten asked, cupping her ear when Hinata mumbled an answer. "Could you say that louder?"

After a few more mumbled answers, Hinata was as red as red could get. "NARUTO-KUN!" she screamed, burying her face in her hands.

"M-me?" Naruto asked.

"DUH!" Sakura and Ino said at the same time.

Naruto looked taken aback.

"Gaara, truth or dare?" Hinata asked, still red.

"Uh, truth?" Gaara blinked.

"Who do you like?"

"My sissy and my brother and everyone in this room!" Gaara clapped his hands, bouncing up and down in his seat.

Everyone sweat dropped.

Hinata coughed. "Um, that's not what I-" she started to say.

"My turn!" Gaara interrupted. "Sissy! What do you want?"

"Uh, how about dare?" Temari smiled uneasily.

"I dare you to…kiss Shikamaru-kun!" The Sand-nin said joyfully.

"WHAT?!" Temari stared at him, dumbstruck. Shikamaru stopped complaining to himself and started twitching.

"Sissy has to kiss Shikamaru-kun and then they'll be happy!" Gaara explained, not losing his smile.

Tenten leaned over to Hinata. "Is it me or is Gaara getting more childish by the second?"

"I've been noticing it too," Hinata replied.

"I'm not going to kiss him," Temari was explaining.

"B-but you HAVE to!" Gaara started gathering tears.

"Oh! Don't cry! Fine, I'll do it! See, Sissy is going to, uh, kiss Shikamaru," Temari comforted.

"R-really?"

"Yeah," Temari said reluctantly as she moved towards Shikamaru.

"I don't want to kiss you!" Shikamaru yelled.

"You think I want to kiss you?! You're the one who said you wanted to kiss me!" Temari screeched.

"KISS! KISS!" Gaara exclaimed, clapping.

"HUSH!" Everyone froze at the voice. Hinata started trembling as she turned around.

"F-Father…" she began meekly and stopped when he shot her a cold look.

"All of you. Bed. Now." Hiashi promptly turned on his heel as the shinobi scurried around, pulling out their blankets and sleeping beds and what not.

They set up their sleeping spots in the same place they sat for Truth or Dare. Once comfortable, they flipped to their stomachs so they could see everyone.

"Should we continue or what?" Tenten whispered.

"I don't think so. Next time, Father might kick you all out," Hinata replied.

"Into the storm?" Sakura asked, horrified.

"I'd count on it," Neji put in.

"I wouldn't mind," Sasuke interjected.

"Ah! Neither would I!" Sakura stammered. Sasuke scowled.

Gaara yawned. "Go to sleep, Gaara," Temari said, tucking him in.

"Mm-kay…" the Sand-nin replied sleepily, cuddling Mr. Snugglebottoms. In a minute, he was asleep.

"We should go to sleep too," Kankuro flipped over onto his side.

"But I'm still hungry!" Chouji complained.

"Chouji, we're having a breakfast buffet tomorrow and if you go to sleep now, you-" Neji started bribing, but Chouji was already asleep before he finished, dreaming of the meal that awaited him in the morning.

"That was almost too easy," Kiba commented, stretching out his arms with a yawn.

After a few more minutes of talking (and the strike of midnight), most everyone was asleep and the power was still not back on.

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

Tenten woke up with a haunting feeling. Wiping the sleep from eyes, she looked around at the group. She frowned. There was an empty bedroll. Who was missing? She stood up, scanning the living room.

"Tenten-san?" Hinata asked sleepily, feeling her movement.

"Where's Neji?" Tenten asked, alarmed.

Hinata bolted up. She jumped up and, avoiding the sleeping bodies, ran to the door. "It's unlocked and there's a pair of shoes missing!"

Just then, Akamaru started barking insanely. Kiba woke up instantly, running to the basement, not caring who he trampled over.

"Ow!" Just about everybody woke up underneath Kiba's feet, except Chouji who was still dreaming.

"Oi! Kiba, you have to leave Akamaru until morning!" Shikamaru chased after the Inuzuka.

"NO! NO, LET ME GO! AKAMARU NEEDS ME! AKAMARUUUUUU!" came Kiba's cries.

"Kiba-kun!" Hinata ran and muffled his cries.

"What's all the noise so early in the morning?" Temari yawned.

"If I don't get my beauty sleep, I'll-" Ino began.

"Look like you do everyday?" Sakura asked, sneering.

"SHUT UP, FOREHEAD-GIRL!" Ino shouted.

"MAKE ME, INO-PIG!" Sakura returned, glaring.

"Both of you, hush!" Hinata cupped her hands over their mouths.

"So, why are we up at," Kankuro checked the clock, "four in the morning?"

"It's because Neji's-!" Tenten began.

SPLAT!

A green glob hit the window, cutting her off.

Ino and Sakura screamed, still muffled by Hinata. "Hush!" She said. When they nodded, she let them go. Gaara flew into Temari's arms, holding Mr. Snugglebottoms close.

"What the hell was that?" Naruto asked loudly, only to be shushed by Hinata, who was so busy trying to keep everybody that she didn't have time to blush.

Sasuke and Tenten exchanged a glance. This happened last night too. And Tenten had told him about Neji's disappearance. They put two and two together.

"Sasuke and I will go out and look for Neji," Tenten said automatically.

"I'm coming with you." Hinata said with a determined look on her face.

"Okay, the rest of you, see if you can't wash that goop off before Hinata's father wakes up." Tenten gestured.

"Why do we have to get stuck with the nasty chore?!" Ino protested immediately.

"YOSH! WE SHALL NOT FAIL YOU, TENTEN!" Lee cried happily.

"Hush!"

"My apologies, Hinata! After washing your window, I will run 1000 laps around Konoha! And if I cannot do that, I will do 2000 pushups. And if I can't do that, I will do 3000-!"

"Okay Lee! We get it!" Temari cut him off, an irritated tone in her voice.

"Come on, you guys. Let's get to it. Hinata, set them up. Give them a hose, towels, soap and whatever. Sasuke and I will go ahead. Catch up with us when you're done." Tenten ordered, picking up a lantern and tossing Sasuke one. Hinata nodded and ran into the kitchen for the towels they had used to dry Neji and Tenten off earlier. Sasuke and Tenten set out.

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

"Neji! Where are you?" called Tenten. They had been searching in the dark for about half an hour now.

"This is pointless. We've probably searched the entire village by now," Sasuke grumbled. "Besides, we don't even know why the Hyuuga left in the first place. Maybe he was sick of truth or dare?" The Uchiha's voice told Tenten he was smirking.

"He's not you, Sasuke." The weapons mistress countered, not looking at him.

"Besides, this has been happening the last couple nights," Hinata added. The heiress had joined them five minutes after they set out. Her lavender bath robe covering her white pajamas fluttered behind her

"Hn." was the reply.

Fifteen mintues later, they had searched the entire village and had not found one trace of the missing shinobi.

"Maybe we should split up?" Hinata suggested.

"Yeah, cover more ground. I'll go this way," Tenten pointed in front of her.

"I'll take this route," Hinata pointed to way they had come from.

"This one, then," Sasuke waved in a general direction.

"Okay, we'll meet back here in fifteen minutes," Tenten threw a kunai in the ground. Sasuke and Hinata nodded then took off. Tenten watched the fading lights, took a breath and went off in her direction.

"Neji! Where are you?" Tenten called. She stopped to tie her red robe. It was getting colder and colder by the minute.

SPLAT!

Tenten whirled around, the sound coming to the left of her. "What the hell was that?" she asked no one in particular as she took off. She bit her lip; fifteen minutes was almost up and she was straying farther and farther away from the meeting spot. Heck, in the dark, it would take her at least five minutes to retrace her steps back to her kunai.

"Neji?" Tenten came upon a place filled with trees (the training grounds, she recognized later) where the sound was getting especially louder. "Neji?" She repeated louder, holding up the lantern so the light flooded the area. She almost heaved at what she saw.

Every single tree was covered with chunks of green glob, the very same that she had found on her window and at the Hyuuga's. And standing in the middle was the missing-nin, his hands flashing various signs. But the strangest part, his eyes were closed.

"Neji?" Tenten whispered, sneaking in closer. The light didn't seem to affect the shinobi. As the Hyuuga finished his seals, he opened his mouth.

And what should come out of his mouth but green vomit.

Tenten shrieked, "YOU were the one who did this to my window!" Dropping her lantern, the weapons mistress stormed over to Neji and slapped him across the face.

Neji's eyes opened and stared at her face blankly. "Ten…Ten? What are we doing he-OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" His hand went to his face. "What did I do?" he demanded.

"You did this to my window the other night!" Tenten screamed, gesturing to the trees.

"I did not! I was sleeping! And what is that anyways? And what are we doing out here?" Neji protested, looking down at his sweats and shirt and her robe. The kunoichi turned red.

"I saw you do all this!" Tenten rebuked.

"He was sleepwalking." A voice came out of nowhere. Another light flooded the area and Sasuke appeared, an amused smirk on his face. Hinata followed close behind, wearing a worried look.

"I don't sleepwalk." Neji stated, crossing his arms.

"Apparently, you do. And you managed to invent a new-technique­," Sasuke emphasized the last word with disgust.

Tenten couldn't hold it in; she burst out laughing. Neji glared at her.

"I-I'm s-sorry," she stammered, still laughing, "b-but everyone's g-going to-" she cut off and burst to tears just thinking about their reactions.

"Tell and I-" Neji began furiously.

"I'm glad you're alright, Neji-san!" Hinata jumped in. "You've been missing for the past couple nights and I got worried."

"I'm fine. Let's go back." Neji, without another word, walked into the bushes and disappeared from view.

Tenten coughed. Her face was now as red as her robe. "I'm okay. Really. Let's go back," she said, smiling. The kunoichi picked up the lantern she had dropped and ran to catch up with Neji. Sasuke and Hinata shrugged and followed.

"This is one hell of a sleepover," Sasuke grumbled under his breath.

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

A/N: Okay. I'm soooo sorry I can't finish this plot up in this chapter. But it's already long enough. So I will finish this up Chapter 6. And as for Gaara's rehab, my original plan was to have him go back to normal this chapter. As you can see, that didn't happen. So I will put in the next chapter. Review?
