Chapter 5: Outburst and Someone New?

There was another pause as Ino's lips upturned mischievously, "I dare you to... NOT be a heartless jerk and act more like Naruto. Just... tone it down a bit"

"Hn" he grunted, not liking this dare at all. He watched as her eyes narrowed dangerously at him. Snorting he glared right back at her, "Ok, fine." It was a quick reply, but it was enough for Ino to know accepted the dare.

He surprised everyone as he started his sentence, "Hinata, truth or dare?"

Hinata was a bit surprised to hear him sound as if he wasn't some heartless ice cube, " Oh, u-um da-... truth."

It took him a while to figure out what he was going to have her tell everyone. Hinata almost started to hyperventilate as she saw him smirk, "Hinata, what was it that you, Ino, and the dobe were talking about?"

Her eyes widened a considerable amount before looking over at the other two who were mentioned, "W-we were t-t-talk-ing about, uh, well... something import-t-tan-t," She became even more nervous he narrowed his eyes at her, seeming to know what they were talking about.

He was hit upside the head as Ino had looked at him, "Don't look at her like that! It goes against your dare..."

Everyone in the room noticeably jumped as Temari vociferated, "HEY, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE? DUST!" she was upset everyone seemed to forget that they were even there, "I seriously would have thought that one of you would have remembered us by now!"

"Temari calm down, I like it better that way" Gaara stated, "I do have a question though... where is Hoshi? Kankuro told me she would be here."

The girls looked at each other, smiling. Sakura was the one to ask what was on their minds, "And why do you care if she's here or not?"

"It's just that she's my..." the rest of what he said was completely inaudible to them.

"Hmm? I didn't quite catch that" An all to familiar voice sounded.

"Hoshi? How'd you get here? We're completely snowed in."

The girl in question gasped at the question, "You guys just didn't try hard enough to get out.. and plus winter is my favorite season! A little snow isn't going to keep me away!"

Everyone sweat dropped at her proclamation. Once she took off her snow gear and sloppily put it in a coat closet, hugs were exchanged between the girls, Naruto and her.

As they settled down into their spots again Hoshi questioned them, "What are you guys doing?"

"Playing truth or dare!" Naruto announced.

"Cool! I can play right? Because if you say no I'm still playing."

"The more the merrier!"
