The Confession

The boys woke up to find they were still alive. They all felt comforting warmth around them. One that they had never felt before and one that they never wanted to go without. Wondering what it was they looked down to see that the girls had rolled on top of them (a/n: did you know that women role about 50 times when we sleep). Each couple was in a different position.

Naruto was spread out with Hinata gently snuggled into his side. Sasuke was lying on his side facing Sakura, who was nuzzled, cozily into his chest. Neji was lying flat on his back and Tenten was lying across and on top of him. Shikamaru was lying in the same position that he does whilst cloud watching. He was simply enjoying the fact that Ino was hugging him around the waist with her legs wrapped around his. He was happy that the last moments of his life would be enjoyable while he waited for her to wake up.

"PERVERT!" Ino screamed at the top of her lungs as she threw Shikamaru across the room.

'Oh, shit,' all the boys thought as they heard Ino's scream.

Sasuke was slammed into the wall from Sakura's punch. Neji was hit by a metal pole and was trying to dodge flying objects being thrown at him. Finally, Naruto was hit with Hinata's powerful upper cut.

"Oh my god," Hinata said as she ran over to Naruto. She placed his head on her lap.

"Ouch," he said as she checked him over. He really wasn't hurting that bad but he liked how she fussed over him. Naruto noticed the warmth that emanated off over her. He loved the way she always fussed over him since they first met.

Flashback

Naruto was a little kid, he was tired and all of his friends went to their homes. He would go home but he was hungry.

A little girl walked up to him, she had two coupons in her hand. She walked right up to him. She had black hair and white eyes. In Naruto's eyes, she looked like an angel in the white dress she was wearing. She handed him the coupons. They were for five free ramen each, then she ran away back to her relatives.

"THANK YOU," Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs.

She turned for a second and said, with a smile, "You're welcome."

Back to present

Naruto reached his hand up and grabbed Hinata by the back of the neck. He pulled her face down so that it was mere inches away from each other.

He whispered, "I love you." Then he closed the gap between them with a long over due kiss.

She pulled away for a second. Naruto looked confused. She bent close to his ear and whispered, "I love you, too." In an instant, Naruto scooped her head back down to kiss more.

"What the…" Neji said as a kunai grazed his arm. Tenten realized who it was when he spoke.

"Here," she said as she rubbed some antibiotics on it. Much like Naruto, Neji enjoyed when she fussed over him.

She stopped rubbing his arm and went to wash her hands. Suddenly, Neji grabbed her wrist and pulled her on to his lap.

"I'm so sorry for everything I said."

"It's okay," Tenten said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Tenten," he looked straight into her eyes, "I love you." He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss.

Sakura was quickly trying to heal Sasuke. He liked how she was acting, so he egged her on.

"Owe," he said, which wasn't a complete lie. He was just letting her heal some wounds that he received a while ago.

She was a little tired when she was done. She had had it a lot worse sometimes at the hospital. She lowered her head as if to show that she was sorry.

Sasuke moved closer to her. He took her by the chin. He tilted her head up to him, and he caught her lips with his own.

When that was over, he whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry. I was jealous because I love you so much."

Sakura quickly wrapped her arms around him. Of course, in response, he hugged her back.

Ino on the other hand wasn't going to let it go that easily. She started to walk out of the room to avoid Shikamaru.

Shikamaru had known her long enough to know how to make her stay, i.e. what buttons to push. He said, "I completely agree, you should go out there wearing your boy-short undies and that close-to-being-see-through spaghetti strap shirt."

First, Ino was mad. Then she realized that he had actually paid attention to her on the shopping trip he was force to go on. Her back was to him and she refused to turn around. Shikamaru snaked his arms around her waist. She went weak in the knees.

He whispered, "I'm sorry and I love you… only you."

Ino steadied herself and turned to face Shikamaru. He would not let go of her waist. He was looking down (a/n: not down her shirt… a lot). She pulled his chin up and said, "I love you, too." She, then, pulled him into a kiss. Of course being a guy, Shikamaru tried to take it a step further, but Ino stopped him. He thought for a while, still holding onto Ino, much to her dismay… she just wanted to get dressed with actual clothes.

He started, "Ino, I have been your first kiss and I will be your last."

Flashback

"Kids be careful," Inochi yelled. He then resumed his conversation with Shikato.

Ino was running around Shikamaru who was lying on the ground watching clouds. They had just turned seven the previous day.

"Ino, watch out for the …" Shikamaru started as he sat up.

Thump

Ino had tripped on a rock and skinned her knee. She grabbed hold of it and started to whimper. Shikamaru got to her before she started to cry. He put a purple bandage on her knee over the wound and stood her up. He kissed her forehead which made Ino blush. Then Shikamaru grabbed her hand and walked her over to the fathers.

Back to present

Ino just blacked out. Of course, that's when the others showed up. All they saw was Shikamaru holding a limp Ino on the bed. The boys reacted in a second to get Shikamaru out of harms way. The girls by the way were staring daggers at Shikamaru. The boys grabbed some clothes and locked themselves in Naruto's room.
