Chapter 10- the sleepover

There was great chatter as the group entered the Uchiha compound. Since Sasuke's return ownership of all Uchiha property was handed over to him and because it was so much of them and no one else actually had the space to accommodate them. The compound itself was made up of several houses on a large plot of land.

"Well Ino, now what?" Sakura asked with and everyone was silent waiting for her to answer. She was the only one carrying more than an overnight bag, except for Chouji who had snacks to carry.

"Well we'll be using two houses. The main and one of the others." she began. "Girls will be in the other one since it's less girls and the main is bigger. We're going to deal with the sleepover part first, separately that at about midnight the girls are coming over to the main so we can party! Of course we'll play a game first before we break out the sake! It's going to be so much fun with the house so big."

"Ok. You're the woman."

"Let's go!" Ten-ten said excited and the girl cheered. The boys shook their heads and ignored them.

"Which house was it Sasuke?" Ino asked and pointed to the house beside the main house. He gave the key to Temari.

"Don't lose it."

"We won't Uke-chan." she said with an innocent smile. He face instantly morphed into a scowling death glare as the group erupted in laughs. She grabbed Hinata's arm and skipped away towards the house ignoring the shouts and comments of Naruto, Lee and Kiba as they ridiculed, or in Lee's case comforted, Sasuke. The girls quickly followed behind her laughing all the way.

After hours of talking about everything from missions to teams to guys to fashion to weapons while doing everything from painting nails to watching movies to manicures and pedicures to playing UNO on the floor the girls were finally ready to head over and have some co-ed fun and get drunk. Hell ya!

The guys were just laughing at one of Naruto's apparent mission slip ups that Sai just had to share with every one, when there was a knock at the door. Neji went to go get the door as Lee launched into a 'youthful' retelling of the very same mission that left him dumb for almost two weeks. Neji opened the door to the grinning girls. He stepped aside to let them pass by. Ten-ten was pulling Ino's suitcase along behind her.

Ino jumped into the room the boys where in and yelled "Let's play truth or dare spin the bottle! Get in a circle!"

"What the heck is that?" Naruto asked moving over on the ground for Sakura to sit. Temari sat beside her with Ino on her other side. The others quickly found places on the floor.

"Well it's only one of the best sleepover games ever." Ino said grabbing an empty bottle of soda that was lying around. I spin the bottle whoever it lands on goes with me to somewhere private for some hot make out. If we don't go or don't kiss we have to carry out a dare. If the bottle lands on some one of the same gender then you don't have to go, unless you roll that way or are just that kinky."

"I want to see some girl on girl action!" Naruto said happily only to yelp when Sakura punched him in the head. Chouji immediately but his agreement on pause. No use getting himself killed as yet.

"If there is ever any girl on girl action we are going to want to see some boy on boy action." Ten-ten said smirking at the boys.

"Think about it now, which two will be the sexiest?" Ino asked smiling around at the boys. They stared at her with horrified faces.

"Don't even go there." Sasuke growled out and they all remembered Temari's earlier statement.

"Let's just play the game."

"Yes! A more youthful topic! Let's get to it." Lee exclaimed from between Ten-ten and Sasuke.

"Ok. I'll spin to decide who will go first." Sakura offered and Ino handed her the bottle. Everyone watched with rapt attention as she spun it. It landed on Temari.

"Cool." Temari said before grasping the bottle.

"Remember your boyfriend."

"Shut up. He'll understand." Temari growled at her mentally praying for it not to land on Shikamaru as she spun the bottle. It didn't. It landed on Kiba. He gave her his perfectly hot smirk.

"Come cheat with me." he teased as she began getting up. He followed her to his feet.

"You'll just have to go into which ever room you find first. You've got fifteen minutes." Ino announced already brimming with excitement. They all watched the two walk away.

"Isn't that a little long?" Hinata asked as she activated her byakugan. Neji did the same.

"What do you mean by too long? It's just perfect." Ino snorted and Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Has it started yet?" Sakura asked.

"You know that they have Neji and Hinata watching right?"

"Then I guess we actually have to kiss then." Temari stated taking a step closer to him. He nodded once but kept his eyes trained on her face, in her eyes, searching for something, anything. They had found a room but it turned out to be the bathroom so they skipped over to another room. It was actually within view of the group in the living room. She shrugged "Just a small one."

He mirrored her shrug but still didn't look away. She slowly reached up to rest her hands on his cheeks. Now his heart sped up as he placed his hands loosely at her waist. He watched her bite her lip in a slight sign of worry and instantly his attention was locked onto them. Damn! This was their first kiss together and it was because of a stupid truth or dare spin the bottle game. It was just a small one, they could have the real one later, Kiba reasoned. They were so much closer now. He looked back at her eyes. Hesitance. They had to do it or face the wrath of Ino's way too creative ways of torture that would definitely be beyond embarrassing and degrading. He could feel her breath now. It was just a small one, as proof and if they weren't satisfied screw them.

It was a simple one. Just a light brush, just a small touching of the lips. He might actually live through this without going further than necessary. That was until Temari broke the innocence of it all and parted her lips to so very lightly lick his. That's when it broke. The freaking dam broke. A hand came up to her face, holding her still as his tongue pushed forward to touch hers. To hell with this!

Out in the living room, Hinata immediately shut her byakugan off, her face red. Ino and Sakura squealed practically bouncing on the spot. The other shows varying degrees of interest.

"How is it? Is it juicy?" Ino asked excitedly for everyone. Neji still had his byakugan active abs keeping an eye on the two in the room just a little down the hall. "God! I wish I had byakugan!"

"Come on tell us man!" Naruto whined.

He had her against the wall now. One hand tangled in the hair at the back of her head keeping her close, one of her hair ties was gone the other one was getting close to out too. The other hand was in the small of her back helping to support her. Both her arms were wrapped around his neck pulling him closer. This wasn't going how either had thought it would but neither of them was complaining. His hands moved down her body squeezing in some parts and her fingers tangled into his hair as his hands grabbed her thighs lifting her off the ground. She instantly wrapped her legs around him not processing anything anymore. This was way more important, demanding, enticing.

"We should stop them now or this might go further than just kissing." Neji said, this was all progressing too fast.

"They still have two minutes." Ino pouted crossing her arms

"Now!" Neji growled at her.

"We should listen to him. He's the one that's seeing. It would be not be youthful for us to not heed a warning like this." Lee said with a frown. Sakura agreed as she got up and went to pound on the door.

"Time up!" she shouted. She glanced back at Neji and he nodded. Clear.

They both looked at each other. Their breathing was haggard but they were otherwise still just looking at each other. His hand was once again in her hair. He ran his hand through her hair again taking the loose hair tie with it and saving it around his wrist. They should really do this more often but would this change anything? She shifted her legs slightly and he let her go so she could release him and stand on her own.

She looked up at his eyes. They looked even more unusual in the almost complete dark of the room. This really had taken a different turn than they had expected. He offered her a small smile and she found herself hoping he couldn't see the blush that she could just feel burning her face. She smiled back at him.

"Out?" she asked

"Talk?" he asked instead and she seemed to think of it for a moment.

"Later." she answered and he shrugged but opened the door for her. He smirked as she stepped out into the light. She raised a brow at him but dismissed it as him being obnoxious, perverted Kiba.

"I hope you don't plan on seeing your boyfriend later." Chouji commented pausing in his munching to talk. Everyone was looking at her in interest or smirking or smiling or slight amusement behind their mask of indifference. Kiba walked past her to return to his seat between Shino and Hinata.

"Why?" Temari asked in curiously moving to sit between Sakura and Ino where she had left her fan. "What could they possibly be thinking?"

"I don't know how you're going to explain those to him." Ino grinned wickedly as she handed the mirror to her. Even Hinata had a little smirk as Temari examined her neck in horror. There were little red marks down her neck lined so neatly it was mocking down her neck, when the heck did she get those? He must have put them there during the time he was shuffling her back to the wall. They were right to ask how she'd cover it because her usual clothes would never be able to. He so knew that. She glared Kiba who grinned back at her.

"You jerk!" she yelled as she lobbed her fan across the circle at the grinning Inuzuka.

XXXXXXX

Temari woke the next morning sprawled on top of Kiba who was passed out on the couch. Her head was resting on his chest just above his heart. The steady beating of his heart and rising and falling of his chest almost soothing the headache that she could already feel seeping in. She hadn't moved to check who it was but she could just tell it was Kiba; no one else could be this warm and comfy. She didn't move for a few moments, just breathing and trying to actually remember what happened the night before as she stared at the back of the sofa that she was facing. She remembered the talks she had with the girls and all the fun things they had done to kill time. She remembered going over to the main house with the girls to get to the party with the guys. She remembered the truth or dare spin the bottle. She blushed slightly at the memory of Kiba and what they had done when it was their turn and the conflicting emotions that came with it. She was just going to hate having to deal with it whenever it was that they would get to talk. She remembered one of the boys making a statement about girls and pillow fights at sleepover when Ino brought out the sake. She remembered the pillow fight that started then and her precious bottle of sake. Oh, she most definitely remembered being hit so hard she blacked out for a few second, almost an entire minute, and she was most definitely going to repay Sai for that one, she almost broke her bottle. She remembered lots of singing and dancing. She remembered giving Shino a lap dance but that one was hazy so it could have been Neji. Who knows they're both so calm and quiet. She remembered Shino had nice eyes but she just couldn't remember what they looked like. Crap, that could have been of use in the future. She remembered strip poker, Kiba, Naruto and surprisingly Shino had wanted to make sure all the girls got striped. She was seriously beginning to think Shino had his perverted areas. Otherwise from those she had no recollection of the rest of the night. Well that sucked.

She gently pushed herself into a sitting position vaguely aware of the hand that Kiba had had on the small of her back slipping off. She plucked the sake bottle from the hand dangling over the edge of the sofa and set it on the ground before looking around.

Sasuke was fast asleep shirtless, half way off the sofa he was in. Lee was lying on the centre table covered in chips also shirtless. Hinata was on the floor in between Naruto and Sai both of whom had no shirts while Naruto only had on his boxers. Both had their arms wrapped around her, trapping her in-between them. Hinata herself was only in a shirt and undies. That ought to be something when she wakes up. Neji was lying on top of Ino who was hanging on to Chouji for dear life so that they wouldn't fall off the mattress that was not so healthily propped onto a small table and a sturdy lamp, even in her sleep. How that got there, Temari had no idea. Ten-ten was curled into Shino on the other side of the room. Shikamaru and Sakura were nowhere in sight. No actually Shikamaru was over in the corner sleeping on a mattress of clothes and almost completely covered by a sheet. If this was how they ended up sleeping it hadn't made sense to choose beds then.

"Well this is a nice way to wake up." a voice rumbled softly from below her. She looked down to see Kiba looking up at her through half lidded, sleepy eyes with a tired smirk. She then realised the fact that she was practically straddling his waist with her hands resting on his bare chest. She had subconsciously been rubbing him as she took in the scene. It also didn't help that the shorts she had been wearing had rode up in her shifting and now his hands rested lightly on her thigh. She glared at him and moved to get off but he stopped her by holding her waist with a groaning whine.

"Please." he groaned pulling her down onto him and wrapping his arms around her. She pushed against him slightly but he just rolled them further into the sofa. "Let's just sleep."

"I need to drink something." she told him in a whisper. She couldn't just cuddle with him now, she had things to think over and this would definitely be a dead giveaway to who she was dating. There was no response from him until he rolled over to let her up.

"Fine bring me back a cup." he said with a pout. It was obvious he was still tired. He probably hadn't fallen asleep before her. She nodded and carefully got up. She headed to the kitchen carefully stepping over the two boys using Hinata as a cuddle pillow. She entered the kitchen to see Sakura leaning against the counter absently with a steaming cup of tea in her hands.

"Hey." she said the medic seemed to snap out of her trance.

"Hey." she said with a smile.

"What time is it?" Temari asked going for the pot of tea on the stove. It was still hot so she picked up two cups to pour it into.

"Four." Sakura answered with a sigh watching as Temari began to pour the tea.

"Morning?" Temari asked confused and Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Afternoon." she answered then motioned to the extra cup. "Kiba's?"

"Yea. How'd you know?" Temari asked hoping that Sakura hadn't figured out the game yet. That would just plain suck. Sakura shrugged.

"Saw you guys sleeping and I figure if you're up he probably is too." she answered then smiled. Temari nodded accepting the reply. "Think he saw Hinata?"

"Nope." Temari also smiled. Her next sentence was cut off by a shout from the other room.

"WHAT THE F-GET THE HELL OFF HER YOU PERVERSE SACKS OF MEAT!"

I was followed by a yelp and groans of anger and more screaming and crashing objects. All together sounds of chaos.

"He has now." Sakura stated smiling and got to work pouring tea for the others that had been so rudely awakened. Temari picked up the cups but put them down when she saw Naruto and Sai running for their lives from the vengeful pair of Kiba and Shino and a placating Hinata bringing up the rear. She must have not realised that she didn't have on any pants. That realisation would have to wait until later. Temari began helping Sakura with the tea. Soon after everyone had a steaming cup of tea and Kiba and Shino were still glaring at Naruto and Sai. Hinata was also still embarrassed to have been running around in her underwear. She wasn't quite over the fact that she had been sleeping between both boys and also being cuddled by them.

"I have an announcement." Sakura said and they all turned their attention to her. She fiddled with her cup for a moment. "Um well, when yeas making tea not so long ago a ninja stopped by to pass on a message. Evidently, our sleepover was longer than we originally planned and Tsunade is pissed."

"We took a few extra hours. What's the big deal?"

"Yea Tsunade-baa-chan's just being old."

"It's Sunday." Sakura said and they all stared at her. "It's almost five o'clock on Sunday evening. It wasn't just a few hours it's almost two days."

"Are you joking?"

"Shit!"

"Yea so we all have to go home and totally go to work." Sakura stated getting up along with a few of them.

"Naruto has to go to Tsunade and bribe her out of killing us." Hinata stated completely fine with using her old crush as the scapegoat. It wasn't that she got over the crush, it was definitely still there, but simply because he was the one most equipped to deal with a beating.

"But she'll kill me!"

"She'll kill all of us if you don't go." Neji said clearly irritated that he had let himself sleep for so long.

"Naruto," Lee said resting a comforting hand on the blonds shoulder with a surprisingly serious face. "Selflessness is youthfulness."

"Just put some clothes on and go you big baby." Ten-ten grumbled

"You all are mean!" Naruto exclaimed pointing around at all of them. They stared back.

"We're ninja." was the collective reply. Naruto opened his mouth to protest.

"Naruto just go!" Sakura shouted causing everyone to wince. He ran out of the room instantly to get some clothes on. The others soon followed, at a more sedate pace, to leave. They all split up and went their own way. Temari let herself into her hotel room and made a beeline for the bathroom. S nice long bath was definitely in order. She had so much to think about and try to remember. Only one way to do that.

She striped her clothes off as she filled the tub. When it was full she stepped in and sat down so low that the water covered her chin. She sighed, so much had happened in one night and she was going to have to deal with the emotional part of it. She'd been avoiding it since the moment she woke up. She had to think about the 'game', Kiba, the 'thing' that was supposed to be a kiss but was a whole lot more, how that thing changed everything, if it changed anything and if that change would be good or bad. There was too much to think about on her own.

"Boozy?" she whispered not believing that she was actually calling on that part of her.

"I bet you missed me." was the laughing reply.
