I…am embarrassed. Why? Because. Because after I posted the last chapter, I already had this chapter ready to go, but I decided not to post it for a week or so…so that you guys could be in suspense for a while…
…It's been more than a week.
…Sorry.
Disclaimer: I own nothing mention in this story. The characters used are the property of Masashi Kishimoto.
I hope you all enjoy! :D

Previously:
Neji snapped his fingers. "I got it." he said. "It took awhile, but I got it!"
By this time, Kurenai had finished off the bottle of sake, and was a bit buzzed. She nudged Shino. "Got anymore booze?" she asked.
Shino shook his head, and reached into his jacket. "No, but I have fish sticks." he said, holding out a plate to Kurenai.
"Ohhh, yummy." she smiled, taking one.
"FOOD!" Naruto then glomped Shino and stole the fish sticks.
'NARUTO! Where are your manners! ?" Sakura exclaimed, pulling Naruto away.
Neji shook his head, and turned to Kurenai. "Are you ready?" he asked her.
Kurenai took a bite out of her fish stick, and replied, "Nope, but go ahead anyway."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and paid attention to Neji.
Neji took a deep breath. "Kurenai, I promise you that the man I've picked out is NOT married. Therefore, there will be no further interrupt-"
"WAIT!" Gai exclaimed. "Before you finish that sentence my youthful student, I need to use the restroom!"
…
…
…
"…Gaara?"
"Hm?"
"Kill him."
"SWEET!"
And then Gaara killed Gai-
WAIT! NO! NO! NO! NO CHARACTER DEATH!
"Awww."
Gai was then brought back to life.
"Whew! That was close!" Gai gasped as everyone glared at him.
Gai no longer needed to use the restroom.
"This has been going on long enough!" Neji said. "From now on, who ever interrupts this turn will be killed-"
Neji…
"…Er…will be struck with lightning and lay unconscious for the rest of the story. Ka-Peesh?"
"Ka-Peesh." everyone agreed.
Kurenai finished her fish stick, and frowned. "So, Neji, who's my future man?"
"Kurenai…I have decided who you will be marrying…." Neji replied, and took a deep breath, "You will be marrying…
…
…
…
…Kakashi!"
…Gasp?
Kurenai began to choke on nothing, Kakashi dropped his fanfic, Naruto began to clap his hands, Sakura gasped, Sasuke snapped out of his day dream, Kiba and Hinata were in the other room, Shino pulled out a huge bottle of champagne for the occasion, Asuma was gone, Ino gasped, Shikamaru felt bad for his Sensei, Choji was gone, Gai was calling dibs on the best man, Neji apologized to Kurenai, Tenten began to daydream about her future wedding, Lee began to hop with joy, Temari watched Lee hop with joy, Kankuro couldn't care less, and Gaara…was being Gaara.
The Author, on the other hand, knew this was going to end badly…
"KAKASHI! ?" Kurenai shouted.
"ME! ?" Kakashi gasped.
Neji nodded. "I guess we should start arranging this…"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Kurenai stopped him. "…Kakashi! ?"
"Yeah, Kakashi." Neji nodded.
"…Kakashi Hatake?"
"Yeeessss."
"…KAKASHI! ?"
"YES DAMMIT!"
Kakashi shook his head. "What if I don't agree to this?"
Oh, lookie? I think I just spotted some lightning in the sky-
"Okay, I'll do it." Kakashi quickly said.
That's what I thought.
"Well, what if I don't agree to this?" Kurenai asked.
I slap your wrist…
"Oh, well that doesn't seem so bad."
…with lightning…
"…Sigh…" Kurenai sighed. "Fine."
Kurenai was finally agreeing to this, as was Kakashi.
"I CALL THE BEST MAN!" Naruto exclaimed.
Gai pushed him down. "NO, I AM THE YOUTHFUL BEST MAN!"
"SAYS WHO! ?"
"SAYS KAKASHI!"
Naruto and Gai both looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi frowned. "Hey, Sasuke, wanna be my best man?" he asked.
Sasuke shrugged. "I guess."
"WHAAAA! ?"
Kurenai's eye began to twitch. She didn't like this one bit.
Oh, how I wish Asuma was here. she thought to herself.
The Author then appeared. "Hey, guys." he greeted them. "While, you guys were taking up so much time figuring out all this crap, I took the liberty to set up the whole wedding. All you guys have to do is get dressed."
They all nodded, but, as they were beginning to leave, a thought popped into Sakura's head.
"Wait a minute, Sensei?" she said. "Aren't you seeing Kiba's sister?"
Everyone stopped and looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi looked surprised. "Who now?"
"You said when it was your turn that you were dating Kiba's sister."
Kakashi then remembered what had happened in his turn. "Psh. Hana was so, like, six chapters ago."
"Good thing Kiba's not here to hear that." Shino mumbled.
Neji looked around. "Speaking of which, where is Kiba? And come to think of it….Where's Hinata?" he asked.
Everyone froze.
Oh, yeah…heh, Neji doesn't know about Kiba and Hinata, does he…?
Everyone looked at each other. "Uhhhh…"
-Meanwhile, in the other room-
The room was dark, and Kiba and Hinata were laying on the bed, snuggled up against each other.
They were very, very close.
"Oh, JACK!" Hinata choked on her tears. "Oh, Kiba! Why did Jack have to die! ?"
Kiba shook his head, and wiped his eyes. "I don't know! Jack! You could've gotten another board to lay on, and YOU COULD HAVE LIVED! JACK, YOU COULD HAVE LIVED!"
Any guesses on what they're watching?
"What's Rose going to do with out him, Kiba?" Hinata asked him.
"I don't know!" Kiba cried. "I-I just don't know!"
"Promise you'll never leave me!"
"I promise!"
…Don't own the movie, by the way…
Anyway…
-Back with the group-
"…Akamaru got out and they went to go look for him." Tenten said.
Neji eyed her suspiciously, but then nodded. "I see."
Everyone gave a sigh of relief. Who knew what would happen if Neji knew about Kiba and Hinata?
"Can we go already?" Kurenai mumbled. "I want to get this over with."
"Same." Kakashi mumbled.
But Sakura wasn't finished either. "And, didn't you guys date at a time?"
"…Uh…"
- Flashback -
Ah, it was a sunny day in the village of Konoha. The birds were chirping and dancing around in the sky. Everyone was out and about: Woman were in shopping groups, kids were playing games, and men were out enjoying the sun. There weren't many days like this.
Seventeen-year-old Kakashi was out in the cool forest, enjoying the peace. He was laying in the shade, a brand new novel in his hand. Everything was going smoothly in his life; he was ranking up, he was getting stronger, he had some time off, and he had a wonderful girlfriend. These thoughts made Kakashi smile under his mask-
"AW, COME ON! WE DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE IN FLASHBACKS ! ? !"
"Shut up, Naruto!"
…Uhhh.
Anyway, yeah, Kakashi was living the life.
As he read his novel, he began to think about his girl.
"Kakashi!"
Speaking of which…
Kakashi looked up from the novel, and saw Kurenai running towards him with a smile on his face. He quickly shut his book, and put it behind him.
"Kurenai!" he greeted her when she got here. They gave each other a small peck on the lips before Kurenai sat down. Kakashi sat up and got comfortable.
"How's your day off?" she asked him.
Kakashi shrugged. "Very peaceful. How was training?"
Kurenai began to giggle. "Oh, I trained with Asuma today. He's so funny! But, he makes a good opponent." she replied.
Kakashi raised a brow. "Asuma, huh? Why were you two training together?"
"He just wanted to show me his new technique." she replied. "I think he was going easy on me, though."
"Oh, really…" Kakashi said, not completely sure.
Kurenai smiled at him. "That doesn't matter. Are we still on for tonight?" she asked, moving the subject.
"Of course." Kakashi replied. "I have something very special planned."
"Oooohhh, is that so?" Kurenai smirked, moving closer towards him.
"That's right." he replied.
Kurenai pressed her lips against…his…masked lips…? Kakashi kissed back, and pulled her onto his lap.
"What's…the…surprise?" Kurenai asked between breaks.
"I'll…never tell…" Kakashi replied, teasing her.
Kurenai pulled him down onto her, their lips still connected.
She moved her hands along his back, as his hands found her waist. Kurenai pushed herself on top of Kakashi, and he gladly went down onto his back.
This continued for a minute or so before things began to get steamy. Kakashi rolled them over so that he was on top. He must not have noticed that his book fell out of his pocket with a soft thud next to them.
Kakashi went to Kurenai's neck, leaving little kisses. Kurenai smiled, her eyes half open. She then spotted the book.
"K-Kakashi…?"
"Hn?"
"What's…t-that?"
"Hn?" Kakashi moved away from her neck and looked at her. He followed her graze to the book, and he instantly tensed up.
"I didn't know you liked to read." Kurenai said, trying to sit up. "What is it?"
"U-uh, just a-" Kakashi pushed her back down, "- just a uh quick read."
Kurenai looked up at him funny. "Can I see it?" she asked.
"Um…" Kakashi had to think quick. "N-no…"
"…Why?"
"…Because…Because…It's personal?" he replied.
Kurenai rolled her eyes and pushed him off, a smile on her face.
She crawled over to the book, and Kakashi again tried to stop her…and failed.
Kurenai picked up the book and smiled at him. She looked at the cover of the book, and her face dropped.
"'Hot and Fluffy'?" Kurenai said.
"Um, um, um-"
"Kakashi…"
"Um, it's-it's not what it looks like!" Kakashi crawled closer to her and tried to grab the book.
Kurenai pulled it away from him and began to look in it.
"AH!" she suddenly gasped. "THERE'S PICTURES!"
"Kuren-"
"KAKASHI! YOU DOG!"
Kurenai hit him with the book, and stood up. After retrieving the book, Kakashi stood up as well.
"K-Kurenai, if y-you'd let me-"
"EXPLAIN?" Kurenai finished for him, a disgusted look on her face.
"…Yeah! Explain!" Kakashi said. "Look, yes, I read these books-"
"UGH!"
"No listen!" Kakashi grabbed her by the shoulders when she tried to walk away, and made her look at him. "I-uh…I read these because…Because I know they are disgusting and I'm looking for evidence to protest these filthy, filthy books!"
…Great save?
Kurenai stared at him with a blank look in her eyes.
Kakashi smiled at her, thinking his cover up had worked.
…
…
…
"…Kakashi?"
"Yes, Kurenai?"
…
…
…
SMACK!
"YOU FILTHY, PERVERTED, DISGUSTING, PIG!" Kurenai screamed at him. Kakashi held his cheek and look at her with a wide…eye…
Kurenai grabbed him by the collar, and brought him down to her level. "Reading that trash behind my back is one thing…but HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME!"
She pushed him away from her, and stormed off.
Kakashi laid there for a moment before sitting up.
"…So…Are we still on for tonight?" he called after her.
"NOOO!"
"Aw…"
-End of Flashback-
…Wow.
Everyone stared at Kakashi and Kurenai.
"I still don't see what the big deal was…" Kakashi mumbled.
Kurenai glared at him. "Oh, you don't?" she replied. "You read trash behind my back - like I wasn't enough - then lied to my face about it!"
Kakashi rolled his eye. "Oh my God, Kurenai! You take things WAY too seriously!"
"Oh, I do? Well, excuse me for being a little hurt about not being enough for you!" Kurenai exclaimed. "You had to buy dirty novels because I wasn't enough!"
"Oh, please. You never did anything with me!"
"I did everything with you! I went on walks with you! I cooked us meals! I bought you things! I helped you train!"
"I AM A MAN, KURENAI!" Kakashi suddenly screamed. "I HAVE NEEDS!"
…
…
…
…
…
…Awkward.
-Meanwhile-
Asuma sadly walked through the streets of Konoha, fists in his pockets. He watched his feet as he walked, and kicked random pebbles that crossed his path.
He sighed. "Man, this really sucks." he mumbled to himself. "The woman that I love is getting married to my best friend, I have no cigarettes, my students are morons, and the Author is an ass. How could this get any worse…?"
It then began to rain.
"…I hate you, Author."
Tehe.
Asuma sighed, and ran to find shelter. He stopped inside a small restaurant, and wiped the drops of water of his forehead. He looked around and noticed how empty the place was…
…except for Choji.
Yep. There sat Choji with about six or seven plates of food in front of him. He was stuffing his face as fast as he could.
Asuma approached him and took a seat. "There you are, Choji."
"NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM…"
Asuma ordered a glass of water.
He took a sip, and sarcastically said, "You're missing out on all the fun."
"Nomnomnomnom…"
"…After you ate the bottle, we got a new one and it landed on Kurenai…"
"NOMNOM!" Choji patted him Sensei on the back and continued eating.
"But…because it would have been to obvious, I wasn't chosen to marry her."
"Nomnomnom?"
Asuma shook his head. "Nope. And you know got chosen?"
"Nom?"
"Kakashi." Asuma said the name sourly and took another sip of water.
"Nomnomnom…Nom?"
"I'm not jealous!"
"…."
"…Sigh." Asuma mumbled. "I'm a bit jealous, even though Kurenai doesn't love Kakashi and Kakashi doesn't love Kurenai. They won't last…but still."
Asuma slammed him forehead against the counter, and rested his head there.
Choji patted his back and continued to eat. "Nomnom nomnomnoooooom!"
Asuma glanced up at Choji with a glare. "No, Choji. I can't just forget about it! I mean, she's the love of my life! Ever since I first laid eyes on her all those years ago I knew she was different. I knew that she was the only girl for me, and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
"Then, when she and Kakashi hooked up years back… I felt betrayed. Not just by her, but by Kakashi as well. My best friend had taken my love! My love! And he didn't even treat her right! He never treated her like the queen she was! Then, he had the nerve to break her heart!
"Oh, what am I going to do Choji! ? I can't let her go like this. Sure, they'll get divorced and what not, but still! It'll always be there that they were married at one time! How am I supposed to ignore that?
"…I love her with all my heart. And…not only would I travel to Hell and back…but I'd…give up smoking for her."
Choji began to choke on his food. "Ack! NOM N-NOMNOMNOM NOM! ?"
Asuma slammed his fist down. "YES! I would quit smoking for her!"
"NOM! ?"
"You're right Choji!" Asuma stood up, swallowing the rest of his water. "I am going to take my woman back!"
"…Nomnom?"
"YES!" Asuma kissed the top of Choji's head. "Thank you for knocking some sense into me Choji!
And with that, Asuma ran out of the restaurant.
Choji swallowed. "Any time."
-Meanwhile-
Kurenai stared at herself in the mirror with a disgusted look on her face. She had on a small, sleeveless, white dress that hugged her hips and long enough to hit the floor. Her hair was pulled up into a tight bun on the back of her head.
Sakura was pinning back loose strands of Kurenai's hair while Ino was fixing Kurenai's make up. Tenten was just watching.
"This is stupid." Kurenai mumbled.
"We're all sorry Kurenai, but you have to go through this." Tenten replied.
"It's ridiculous!" Kurenai said, tossing her hands up in the air. "I don't even know why I agreed to play this stupid game! I mean, why are we playing a game that we could possibly get married in?"
"…Because we didn't think anyone would actually say a marriage?" Ino replied.
"I thought it was just for decoration." Sakura shrugged.
"No one took it seriously." Tenten nodded.
Temari then entered the room with a pair of blue diamond earrings. "I found your something blue!"
Kurenai rolled her eyes as she put the earrings in. "At least I can file a divorce after this." she mumbled. "Stupid marriage dare…"
"Well, we're about to start." Temari said.
"Let's get this over with." Kurenai said.
"Wait, who's suppose to walk her down the isle?" Sakura asked.
"Kiba was originally going to…but we kind of uh…left him and Hinata…so Shino's going to do it."
…That's odd.
Whatever happened to the father doing it?
"He's dead."
…Oh.
Erm, anyway…
Kurenai went out and found Shino, who was already in position.
"You look pretty."
"Shut up."
Aw.
Shino was saddened by his Sensei's words, and stood there in silence until they heard the traditional marriage music, and the doors opened.
Shino then walked Kurenai down the isle towards Kakashi, who was giving flirtatious looks towards the brides maids.
Kurenai smacked his arm, and he quickly snapped out of it.
For some reason, Gai was the one who was going to marry them.
"OH THIS IS A YOUTHFUL DAY TO GET MARRIED, IS IT NOT! ? !"
"No…"
"YOU PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE MORE YOUTH! TODAY IF THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!"
"Damn…"
Gai glared at them. "Do you want me to do this or not?"
"Not really…"
"TOO BAD! IF I DON'T GET TO BE THE BEST MAN THEN I GET TO MARRY YOU TWO!"
"…"
Well, to save on time, Gai went through all the traditional…rituals(if you'll call it), and Kakashi and Kurenai said their "vows".
"ALRIGHT! MY YOUTHFUL ONE! ARE YOU READY! ?"
"Hn…"
"GREAT! NOW, KURENAI, DO YOU TAKE KAKASHI HATAKE TO BE YOUR YOUTHFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND?"
"…Meh, sure."
"AND YOU KAKASHI! DO YOU TAKE KURENAI YUHI TO BE YOUR YOUTHFULLY WEDDED WIFE?"
"I guess."
"FANTASTIC! NOW, IS THERE ANYONE WHO OBJECTS TO THIS YOUTHFUL REUNION! ?"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"FANTASTIC!" Gai exclaimed with a huge grin on his mouth. "I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND W-"
"WAIT!"
Gasp! I wonder who could have said that.
Naruto stood up. "Before we finish this, can I go to the bathroom?"
…
…
…
…Really?
Gai rolled his eyes. "Go quickly."
"THANK YOU!"
Naruto then ran to the bathroom.
…
…
…
…
"So, Kakashi…you hear about the world yesterday?"
"Yep."
"Didn't end."
"Nope."
…
…
…
…
A loud creek was then heard, and Asuma walked in. "Hey, am I late?"
Kurenai gasped, and ran towards him, throwing herself at him in a hug. "Asuma!"
"Kurenai?"
"Asuma! I thought you had left forever!"
"…Why?"
"I don't know…Kind of got that impression."
"Oh."
Anyway…
Naruto then came back. "I'm done! You guys can continue!"
"Kurenai," Kakashi called, "you have to come a finish this."
Kurenai looked up at Asuma, a frown on her face. "I don't want to go through with this."
Life sucks sometimes.
Ignoring the Author, Asuma grabbed Kurenai firmly by the shoulders. "No. I'm not letting you!"
"BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY SAID THEIR VOWS!" Gai exclaimed.
"I don't care! Because…" Asuma pointed at Gai. "…I'M OBJECTING!"
Le Gasp!
"Saw that one coming." Shikamaru mumbled to Ino, who nodded.
"Now, everyone shut up! I've got another huge speech to give, and I better not get even ONE interruption!" Asuma exclaimed.
Everyone remained quiet, waiting for him to continue.
Asuma took in a deep breath, and turned to Kurenai. Kurenai stared up at him, anxious.
"Kurenai…I love you. I will not let you marry Kakashi just because you were dared to. I should have been the chosen one! Not him. He broke your heart once before, and I want you to know that I would never do that to you. The Author can strike me with lightning a thousand times, but that won't stop me. I love you. You are the only woman I can see myself with in the future. There is no one else but you…and I've given up the most important thing to me…just to be with you…"
Asuma then pulled up his sleeve to reveal a patch. "I've quit smoking…for you."
Even bigger Le Gasp!
"Didn't see that coming, though." Ino whispered to Shikamaru, who shook his head.
Everyone looked at each other in shock at those words.
Kurenai placed a hand over her heart, and could feel her eyes becoming more wet. "Asuma…"
"Kurenai…you're not marrying Kakashi."
HEY…WAIT A MINUTE! She has to marry Kakashi!
"Aw, come on, Author! Have a heart!" Ino exclaimed.
"Yeah, leave them be!" Shikamaru agreed.
"NOMNOMNOM!" Choji said, appearing out of no where.
Everyone else begged the Author to change him mind…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Sigh.
Fine.
Neji…
Neji smirked. "I change my mind about the dare." he said, standing up from his seat. "Kakashi you're off the hook."
"THANK YOU!" Kakashi exclaimed, and went to chat up the brides maids.
"Kurenai…I want you to marry Asuma instead!"
"YAY!" Kurenai exclaimed, hugging Asuma.
"AWWW! DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN! ?" Gai screamed, frustrated and happy at the same time.
I guess…
"YOUTHFUL CRAP!"
-One Hour Later-
Everyone went back to Naruto's house.
Kurenai and Asuma were happily married, and the turn was successfully finished.
"So, I done?" Kurenai asked, still hugging Asuma. "'Cause we kind of wanted to go on our honeymoon…"
"Not quite." Neji replied. "You still have to spin the bottle and give the turn."
"Dammit."
"Sorry."
Look on the bright side…you guys can go on your honeymoon after the next chapter!
Asuma and Kurenai looked at each other with lust in there eyes.
"Sickening." Kakashi mumbled. He wasn't butt-sore or anything about what happened in the last two chapters…but still.
They all sat in the circle again and got comfortable.
"Thank God this turn is over." Naruto mumbled.
"Overly dramatized." Shikamaru agreed.
"Not even good drama." Sakura nodded.
HEY!
LET'S SEE YOU GUYS WRITE SOMETHING BETTER!
…
…
…
They all shut up.
"Can we continue?" Kurenai asked. They all nodded.
"Great. Now let me think." Kurenai sat there for a moment. "It's NOT going to be a Marriage…so no worries."
They all waited patiently for Kurenai to think of something.
A few minutes later, she snapped her fingers. "Okay, I've got it." she said. "I'm going to go with a plain ole' truth. Since we haven't done one of those for a long time."
Every else was okay with this.
Kurenai took the bottle, and spun it.
Spin…
Spin…
Spin…
Spin…
Spin…
Spin…
Spin…Stop.
It landed on…Kankuro.
-x-x-x-
I am so sorry for my stupidity. I truly am. If you didn't bother to read the beginning A/N, then you don't know why I'm a true idiot. Well, I tried very hard on this chapter…those weeks back…GAH! I'm SORRY! If it makes a difference...I added a few new things...
Y'know what? You guys may abuse me all you want. I deserve it. Sad face. : (
Also, Important: Kankuro and Naruto are the only ones left…You know what that means, right?
This story will be finished in two chapters…maybe three. More on that later, though.
Please review! I appreciate each and every one of you, and you guys are the reason I try to hard on this story! Also…if you have any ideas for Kankuro( BECAUSE I SURE DON'T) then feel free to say something! It'll take me a while to think of something, so if someone gives me a wonderful truth for him, then this will get up and going much sooner! I SWEAR ON MY GRANNY'S GRAVE! :D
REVIEW! :D
P.S. Sorry about the wedding scene. It was kind of lame, I know. I was loosing creativity. I apologize.
