Hey! Back sooner than expected since I got this WHOLE week off! Yay! So, I thought I'd update! Now, before I start this chapter, I'd like to discuss some important matters.
…The next chapter will most likely be the LAST!
You read right. Next chapter will probably be the last, and I say probably because I haven't written it yet so I don't know if it'll end up being long enough to put into two parts. We'll have to wait and see.
Disclaimer: I own nothing mentioned in this story. These characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
Enjoy. :D

Previously:
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…Stop.
It landed on…Kankuro.
Everyone looked at Kankuro, who wasn't paying any attention. Instead, she was scribbling on a notepad.
"Kankuro…?" Temari said, tapping her brother on the shoulder.
"TEMARI!" Kankuro swatted her hand away. "Can't you see I'm in the middle of a breakthrough! ?"
"Breakthrough?"
"YES!" Kankuro exclaimed. "I will one day be more popular than Kermit…just you wait…"
…
…
…
Okay?
Temari rolled her eyes. "It's your turn, dumbass." she said, pulling on his ear.
"NO!" Kankuro cried out as he stared the bottle. "I refuse to go!"
That's what they all say…
"NO, I mean it! I refuse to go!" Kankuro then crossed his arms and pouted.
Temari sighed, and turned to Gaara. "Can you do something?"
Gaara didn't reply, but he got up and pulled Kankuro up by his collar. "Do it."
Kankuro gulped. "N-no…"
"Do. it."
"…no…"
"DO IT!" Gaara yelled as sand began to form around Kankuro's neck.
In a panic, Kankuro struggled to say, "O-okay…I-I'll do I-it."
But Gaara did not hold back.
"Gaara, he said he would do it! Now let him go!" Temari said, trying to pry her psychotic brother off her other dumbass brother.
Kankuro then lost consciousness…
…
…
…
Damn it.
I did not want to do this…
But, Gaara, you leave me no choice…
Gaara was then struck with a bolt of lightning…
…and fell unconscious…
GASP!
The fangirls are so gonna chew my ass for this one. Kankuro fell out of Gaara's grasp as Gaara fell to the ground. Both brothers lie there - passed out.
The fangirls then kidnapped the Author and held him hostage…not that anyone cares…
Temari looked down at her two brothers, and sighed in frustration. "Well, now what! ?"
Kurenai shook her head. "We can't do anything until Kankuro is awake…Damn it! At this rate, I'll never get to go on my honeymoon!"
"Aw man!" Asuma cried.
Naruto was getting a bowl of ramen, Sakura was stealing Naruto's ramen, Sasuke was writing a love letter to his wife, Kakashi was no longer there because he left with one of the brides maids from the previous chapter, Ino was laying on Shikamaru's lap, Shikamaru caught a glimpse down Ino's shirt, Choji was still not there, Asuma was sexually frustrated, as was Kurenai, Kiba and Hinata were in the other room, Shino was eating fried snails straight from France, Neji and Tenten were making out again, Lee was observing them, Gai was observing Lee, Temari was frustrated all around, Kankuro was unconscious, as was Gaara, and the Author was going through torture provided by Gaara fangirls…
…
…
…
After a couple minutes, Kurenai was fed up. "Can we at least try and wake Kankuro up! ?"
"Has it worked in the past?" Sakura asked.
"Well, no-but the Author isn't here to make it overly difficult."
Oh yeah, don't mind me…Just a…Just getting tortured with spoons by Gaara fangirls. Yeah, nothing huge…yep.
Hey! Hana! Our 300th reviewer!
"Hey, Author."
How's it going?
"You killed Gaara."
Psh, I didn't kill Gaara!
"Prepare to get cut."
With a spoon?
"Yes."
Awesome.
…
Anyway…
Temari rolled her eyes, and began to shake Kankuro awake. Everyone else just watched.
Kankuro did not wake.
Temari turned to Neji. "This is what you looked like for more than half of this story."
Neji raised a brow and looked at Tenten. "I did?"
Tenten nodded. "Sadly, my dear, you did."
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"Wanna make out?"
"I do."
Neji and Tenten then began to make out.
"Room for one more? !" Lee exclaimed, jumping in between them.
Neji glared at Lee, and threw him out of a window.
Temari gasped, and ran after Lee while Neji and Tenten stared at each other.
"Neji, have I ever told you how sexy you are?"
"Many times."
They continued to make out.
Naruto looked at them with envy. "Man, I wish we were like that." he mumbled.
"In your dreams." Sakura mumbled.
That did it. Naruto stood up and looked down at Sakura. "Sakura…I am sick and tired of this!"
Sakura looked up at him with surprise, as did everyone else.
"All you ever do is bring me down when all I try to do is love you! Sometimes I wonder if you ever cared about me in the first place! Do you care! ? No! I bet you don't! And you know what, Sakura-chan?" Naruto practically snarled.
Sakura blinked, kind of frightened. "Um…?"
"WE ARE OVER SAKURA! You never appreciated me! And now I'm ending it!"
…
…
…
Woah. o.O
Sakura stared up at him in disbelief. "N-Naruto…Are…are you breaking up with me?"
"What do you think?"
The whole room was silent as what just happened sink in. Sakura's vision began to blur, and Naruto felt a ping of guilt go into his stomach.
Everyone was so focused on what was going on between Naruto and Sakura that they didn't even notice that Kankuro has awoken.
Kankuro sat up and rubbed him aching neck. He looked around and noticed everyone staring at Naruto and Sakura. His eyes landed on Sakura, and he frowned.
"Wow, Sakura, you look like you just got dumped."
…
…
…
Oh, burn…
Sakura's tears then fell and she ran out of the house. Tenten smacked Kankuro across the face.
"You don't say that when it actually happened!"
"I didn't know!"
"It was kind of OBVIOUS!"
"SORRY!"
Naruto shook his head, ridding his head of thought about Sakura. "It doesn't matter. I did what I needed to." he said. "But, that doesn't matter. Kankuro's awake and we can continue with the story…even if we don't have an Author right now…"
Yeah…No need to worry about me…
They're about to make me watch 'My Little Pony'…that's all…
…All because Gaara lay unconscious…
For some reason, I feel that Bob is the reason for this.
"Tehe."
Shut up, Bob!
Kankuro rolled his eyes. "My turn, huh? What do I have to do?" he asked, looking around.
"I have to figure out a truth for you." Kurenai replied.
"Oh, a truth! Well, that won't be too bad! Bring it on!"
"I need to think of one first…"
"I have all the time in the world!"
-One Hour Later-
"I'm BORED! Have you thought of something YET?" Kankuro whined.
"Not. Yet." Kurenai said for the millionth time.
To be brutally honest, everyone was bored. It was almost like the first chapter of this story…Almost…
Kurenai sat there thinking, while Kankuro continued to bug her.
"So, Naruto, what are you going to do now?" Tenten asked Naruto.
Naruto shrugged. "I don't know. I hope Sakura and I can still be friends."
"I don't know if she's going to go for that…" Ino said. "She's probably butt sore about you breaking up with her."
"I don't know." Naruto said.
"We wish you the best." Kurenai said.
Suddenly, Temari came in dragging Lee behind her. "I found Lee!" she gasped.
Lee wasn't unconscious, but he wasn't exactly awake…
"No, mommy, I don't wanna go to school…" Lee mumbled.
Neji glared down at his teammate. "Why'd you bring him back! ?"
"I think you know the answer to that!" Temari snapped back.
Kurenai could feel her eye brow twitch in annoyance. She wished they would all be quiet so that she could think correctly. She wanted to get this turn over with so that she could go on her damn honeymoon with Asuma. The thought of being alone with Asuma for weeks made her heart race and her cheeks heat up. BUT, because she was thinking about Asuma, she wasn't thinking about the truth for Kankuro!
Why must life be so complicated? she asked herself.
You think your life is complicated right now? These damn fangirls are trying to cut me open with spoons. SPOONS! O.U.C.H!
Yeah, yeah, so sad. Kurenai rolled her eyes.
Asuma then tapped her shoulder. "Y'know, since the Author is occupied, we could just walk out and go!" he told her.
Kurenai smiled. "Yes, we could. But think about if the Author got free and saw what we did? You can imagine how pissed he'd be."
"Yeah, but…but…but…we could go! He'd never find us!"
"He's the Author, Asuma. Sure, he didn't create us, but he's in charge of this story; therefore, he can do what ever he wants."
"…But…But-"
"But nothing. We'll just have to wait."
Asuma knew she was right, but that didn't mean he had to agree.
He crossed his arms and pouted. "Fine."
Kurenai sighed. I'll just think of something really simple that could end this turn quickly! But, it has to be good enough…hmmm… Kurenai thought for a moment.
Then it came to her.
It was simple, but it'd probably get an interesting story, seeing that it's Kankuro.
Honeymoon with a naked Asuma her we come! She thought while rubbing her hands together.
Everyone was having their own little side comments when Kurenai stood up. "Shhhh! Guys! I have it!" she said, trying to calm everyone down.
After a minute, everyone was settle and looking at Kurenai.
Kankuro grinned, and said, "So, what do I have to answer truthfully?"
Kurenai smirked. "Okay, I thought about this, and it may not be the best truth, but it'll do." she turned to Kankuro. "Ready?"
"I was born ready, baby."
"Errr…okay." Kurenai cleared her throat. "Kankuro…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"…Who did you share your first kiss with?"
…
…
…
…Gasp?
Really, that's the best you could do?
"Shut up! I have a spoon!"
…Please don't hurt me…
Kankuro could feel his cheeks heat up, and his stomach turn.
Temari then burst out laughing. "HAHA! Sorry, Kurenai, but I think you're gonna have to pick something else! Do you really think Kankuro has actually kissed someone? HA!" Temari exclaimed, almost falling over.
Y'know, Temari sounds a lot like my sister…
"Actually, Tem-" Kankuro tried to say, but was cut off.
"I mean, who would want to kiss him? !" Temari laughed, slapping her knee. "He's never even been with anyone!"
"Temari-"
"If he's never kissed anyone, how can he finish this truth! ?"
"TEMARI!" Kankuro finally screamed.
Turning around in annoyance, Temari replied, "What! ? Can't you see I'm talking?"
Kankuro took a deep breath. "You're wrong, Temari."
"I'm wrong?" Temari questioned. "About what?"
Kankuro scratched the back of his head, a blush forming along his cheeks. "I…I have had my first kiss."
DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNN…
Temari blinked in surprise. "You what?"
"I have been kissed."
"…WHEN! ? WHO! ?" Temari was very surprised. She never even heard Kankuro mention anything about romance in his life or anything! How could this be?
Temari sat there dumbfounded why Kurenai asked, "So, you can answer this truth?"
"Yeah…not that I want too or anything-"
"Yeah, yeah, sad life. Just tell us the story so I can start packing for my honeymoon."
"Great to know you care about something besides your sex life…"
"Shut up!"
"Anyway!" Shikamaru interrupted. "Can we continue?"
"Yeah…"
Everyone turned their attention to Kankuro. Kankuro shifted in his seat, and cleared his throat. "Am I suppose to go into detail, or…?"
"Detail would be nice." Kurenai said.
This made Kankuro blush more. "Okay, well, it happened when we finished a mission here in Konoha about a year ago…"
-Flash Back-
"Damn it, Temari! That hurt!"
"Then gimme back my muffin!"
"Fine! Take your damn muffin!"
"Gimme!"
"I didn't want your smelly muffin anyway!"
"You both are morons."
Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara were on their way to the hotel(is it a hotel they stay at…? Do they stay…? Idk, just go with it) where they were staying in Konoha. They just finished a full day mission, and where ready to turn in. They had stopped to get something small to eat. They got muffins, and Kankuro finished his too quickly…you can guess the rest.
"I just wanted a bite." Kankuro mumbled under his breath.
Temari smacked the back of his head. "I don't care. My muffin!" she said, taking another bite of the chocolate muffin in her head.
Do they even have muffins in Konoha? They have to, right? Hmmm…
Anyway, the three of them made it to their room, and got comfortable inside.
Gaara went in his corner, and just kind of sat there…staring at the wall…
Temari sat herself down at the table with her muffin.
Kankuro, on the other hand, didn't want to rest. "Don't you guys want to do something?"
"No."
"Why?" he asked. "We're here for one more night. Why not enjoy the time away from home?"
"No."
"You two are party poopers." Kankuro pouted.
"Do you want to die?" Gaara asked, not taking his eyes off the wall.
"U-uh, no…"
"Then shut up."
Kankuro frowned. "Fine. I'm going out." he mumbled.
Temari waved. "Be home before nine."
"Aw, but Temari-"
"Before. Nine."
"…Fine."
And with that, Kankuro walked out.
He was walking down the hallway mumbling something about how screwed up his home life was, he heard a door suddenly open…and before he knew it, he hit something and fell with a loud THUD!
"Owie…"
"OW!" Kankuro exclaimed, sitting up. "WATCH WHERE YOUR-"
Kankuro cut himself off when he saw who he was yelling at. A girl who looked about his age was laying on her back, her bright green eyes dizzy. She had blond, medium length hair that curtained around her face as she lay there. She was rather thin, and didn't have much bust to her. Her pink lips let out a sigh as she tried to sit up.
Realizing that he was staring, Kankuro jumped up, and lended her a hand. "I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention! I'm sorry!" he apologized as he pulled her up to her feet.
He noticed that she wasn't much shorter than he was. When the girl finally realized what was going on, she shook her head and looked up at him with a blush painted on her cheeks.
"I'm sorry!" she exclaimed. "I didn't mean to bump into you!"
Kankuro blinked a couple of times, and almost forgot that he could speak. She was pretty. Really, really pretty.
"U-um, no! No, I should be the one apologizing!" he replied, holding his hands up in defense. "I should have watched where I was going."
The girl smiled at him, and he couldn't help but smile back.
"Uh, I'm Kankuro." he said, holding his hand out.
She let out a small giggle, and put her hand in his. "Anju." she replied.
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
Kankuro and Anju hit it off. They walked around the village, and Kankuro learned that her parents were throwing a party that night.
"So, I'll see you at ten?" Anju asked.
Kankuro winked at her. "Of course."
Anju giggled, and said, "I better go and get ready then. See ya."
"Bye…"
With that, Anju walked away, and Kankuro was soaring. He practically ran home, and burst in.
He ran to his room, and got changed.
"Kankuro! ?" he heard Temari call from outside. "Why are you in such a rush?"
"Uh! Party! Tonight! Important!" Kankuro replied, putting on his best outfit…that looked just like the one he was wearing before…
"What party?"
"An important party!"
"Where?"
"Down the street!"
"Mind if I tag along?"
Kankuro swung the door open, and glared at his sister. "Yes, I do mind."
"I'm going anyway."
"UGH!" Kankuro didn't pay any attention to her, and left.
Kankuro reached the location of the party, and walked in. The music was nice, and everyone was dressed casually. He was kind of glad that he had wiped off his make up…
Kankuro looked for Anju for the next thirty minutes, but could not seem to find her. He then asked around, and learned that someone saw her go upstairs and to Room 5.
Kankuro hurried upstairs and to Room 5. He was going to just walk in, but then decided that that might be a bad idea…just in case she was changing or something…
Kankuro knocked a couple times.
…
…
…
Silence.
Kankuro knocked a few more times.
This time, he heard a small moan. He opened the door a tiny pit, and peaked inside. He saw someone laying on the bed with their face covered by a blanket. It was Anju, and she appeared to be sleeping. Kankuro slipped inside, and closed the door.
"Anju?" he whispered.
"Hm?"
She was asleep. He stood over her, and instantly knew it was her from her golden blond hair.
Now, Kankuro wasn't planning doing anything…naughty…to her or anything. He slowly sat down on the bed.
"Anju, you must have had to much to drink downstairs." he have a dry laugh.
"Hm…"
"Too bad I couldn't catch you before. Y'see, I'm going back to my home land tomorrow, and well…I don't know when I'll see you again.
"You…You're different. I never felt anything like I did when I was with you today. I don't know if you can hear me…but I'm going to leave you with a note-" Kankuro grabbed a pen and paper and began to write "- and…and it'll be how I feel.
"I hope you'll remember me tomorrow. Sigh, I'm sorry, but I have to go. But…If it's okay with you…I'd like to give you one final thing before I go."
"Hm…"
Kankuro moved the blanket up and over her chin, and stopped just above her nose. He could hear his heart pumping against his chest.
Finally gathering enough courage, he pressed his lips lightly against hers.
After a few seconds, he pulled away with a smile on his face. He got off the bed, and walked out, but not until he said, "Goodnight…Anju."
The next day, Kankuro left with his hung over sister and murderous bother to go back to their home.
Kankuro never mentioned his encounter with Anju, and hoped to one day see her again.
-End of Flashback-
Everyone stared at Kankuro in amazement.
Ino, Tenten, and Kurenai sighed. "That was so romantic…"
The rest of the guys laughed. "Nice one, Kankuro!"
"Did you ever see her again?" Ino asked.
Kankuro shook his head. "Not yet. I asked around, but all I heard was that she was away on a yearly mission."
"How come you never told me about this?" Temari asked.
"Would you have believed me?"
"Actually-" Temari was cut off by Tenten.
"Oh, Kankuro! You need to find her again!"
"I know I do!"
"Kankuro-" Temari tried once more, but failed.
"We'll help you as much as we can!" Asuma said.
"Thanks! I appreciate it!"
Temari stood up. "Kankuro!" she said, getting everyone's attention. "I just wanna get something straight."
"Okay?" Kankuro said, confused.
Temari sighed, and scratched the back of her head. "Okay, you said you went upstairs and to Room 5, correct?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
Ignoring his question, she asked, "And when you went inside, there was Anju laying there on the bed with a blanket over part of her body and face?"
"Yesss." Kankuro was starting to wonder where this was going.
Temari froze. Her heart dropped as she asked the next question. "Kankuro…was she wearing a red dress?"
Kankuro thought long and hard about that, trying to remember. He did recall her dress looking red, even in the dark with the moon being the only light.
"Yes, yes it was." Kankuro replied. "Temari, what are you getting at?"
Temari the began to cough, and she sat down. After she stopped coughing, she covered her face.
"Temari?"
"Kankuro!" she looked up, and stared at him with a disgusted look. "I was wearing a red dress! I got drunk and passed out in Room 5!"
"HOLY SHIT!" Kankuro jumped back in surprise.
Everyone's jaws dropped to the floor.
"What the hell! ?"
"That's sick!"
"What are the chances of that! ?"
"BLAH!"
"OH MY GOD!"
Everyone suddenly felt the need to barf. Especially Kankuro and Temari.
"Are you sure, Temari! ?" Kankuro asked. "You WERE drunk, after all."
"Positive…"
After a while, everyone calmed down.
Kankuro glanced at Temari. He could barely look at her. "I can't believe that YOU were my first kiss…"
"Same here…I thought you were someone else…"
"We never speak of this again."
"Especially in front of Gaara."
"Agreed."
Shiver…
Talk about a plot twist, eh?
Kankuro shivered in disgust. "Can we just all forget about this, and continue?" he asked.
"Yeah…"
"Great." Kankuro picked up the bottle. "I say this be something simple. A plain Dare."
That was when Shikamaru noticed something. "Wait, Kankuro…we kind of don't need the bottle."
"Hm? Why?" Kankuro replied, confused.
"Because…only one of us hasn't gone yet."
Everyone looked around until their eyes landed on Naruto.
Naruto looked around, and gulped. "Oh, burn…
-x-x-x-
I didn't know what I was doing as I wrote this, and I'm pretty proud of what I came up with. Heh, seeing as I don't know crap about Kankuro. Also, Anju is a made up character. She's not real.
Now, for something REALLY important:
Next chapter is the last. I need your guys' help. I need ideas for Naruto's turn, and I would appreciate if you guys could help me with that. I have a few ideas, but they're not all the great. I want to end this story with a bang! I know for sure that you guys will help me achieve that!
Please, Review and tell me what you thought of this chapter! Also, give me your suggestions for Naruto's dare.
See you next time for the very last chapter! Bye! Review!
P.S. Fan girls, please stop cutting me with spoons. DX
