Chapter 23: Konan's Birthday
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KONAN!" Everybody shouted.
"Whoa! Thanks, I didn't know everyone knew it was my birthday today. It seems you were all actually prepared for it." Konan exclaimed.
"Actually we knew it ALL along." Rebecca confessed.
"I'm honoured then." Konan grinned, something she rarely did.
"Aren't you curious how we know it's your birthday?" Jonathan whispered to Konan.
"Huh? Of course I am!"
"Haha, let me tell you. We sneaked in to Pein's office when he wasn't around to look for his diary. But we came upon his calendar instead and saw that your birthday was indicated on it."
"Oh so that's how you know about it..."
"And want to know when we know?"
"Okay..?"
"Yesterday!"
"So you mean all these preparations were done yesterday?"
"Yup!"
"That's really excellent to do all these by a day!"
"We have come up with a plan for this whole day so please cooperate with us!" Regina interrupted.
"So what's the first item?"
"Musical chairs!" Rebecca shouted.
"Play the song Jon." Regina instructed.
"Just a moment!" Jonathan replied.
When the music came on, the game commenced and Kisame got really mad.
"Stop the music right now!" Kisame shouted.
"I'm sorry but the song playing now is not 'Don't stop the music' by Rihanna but 'I'm blue'."Jonathan refused.
The song went: "Yo listen out, this is the story about a little guy that lives in a blue world. And all day and all night and everything he sees is all blue like him. Inside and outside blue his house, with a blue little window..."
After playing for a while, the winner emerged and it was Konan. Which was a natural thing since it was her birthday and everyone was pushed out of the way when Konan was aiming to sit on the chair.
"Okay, the next item up is Pin the tail!" Regina announced. "Who wanna go first?"
"Birthday girl first!" Sasori sabotaged.
"A little difference in the game is that instead of pinning the tail to a donkey, we'll pin the tails on a nine – tail fox!" Rebecca explained while Jonathan went to take out the picture to put it up against the wall.
The game began and everyone was shouting at Konan giving her instructions to pin the tail correctly. As it was a nine – tail fox, Konan had to stick all nine tails and she was very sporting and did not complain.
When Konan finished pinning all the tails and took down the blindfold, she was shocked and laughed put loud when she saw her own doings. The tails weren't pinned properly in position and instead it was everywhere.
"How did it turn out this way? I thought I could have pinned at least one or two tails in place!" Konan exclaimed.
"It's okay. This is just for fun anyway." Pein said.
"Let's play the piñata next!" Rebecca shouted and skipped away to retrieve it from the room.
"I did the piñata myself and I can assure you that it'll be the best that you all have ever seen!" Jonathan grinned and hangs it up on the ceiling. Regina passed the rod to Konan and asked her to take a go at it first and pass the rod around after each turn.
After passing the rod around for a few turns, Jonathan burst open the piñata and instead of sweets pouring out, just one sweet came out and slimy liquid came pouring out.
"Oh gosh, I so do not want to know what this slimy thing is..." Rebecca looked disgusted and rushed to the bathroom with Regina following behind her.
"What is this slimy thing?" Kakuzu asked suspiciously.
"Er...I'm sorry..? I think, supposed, it's my saliva." Jonathan answered sheepishly.
"JONATHAN!!!" Everyone shouted and headed for the bathroom for a bath.
"Hey Konan, don't forget to take your sweet along with you! I kept this sweet just for you!" Jonathan shouted after Konan.
After everyone cleaned up, they settled down around the table to sing the birthday song and cut the birthday cake. Everyone then present their presents and Konan opened all the presents upon request.
She received a pair of earrings, flower clay figure, necklace, table set, potted flower, set of Shuriken, glass bottle filled with holy water and hour glass from Pein, Deidara, Kakuzu, Sasori, Zetsu, Hidan, Kisame and Itachi respectively.
Whereas Regina hand-sewed a set dolls of her, Jonathan and Rebecca for Konan thanking her for always looking after them. Jonathan and Hinata gave Konan colour papers. Rebecca and Sasuke gave Konan a bracelet.
After opening up all the presents, they played a few rounds of poker and decided to play a game of Truth or Dare.
They spun a soda bottle found on the floor and Jonathan was the first to pick a truth or dare. Jonathan went along with truth and was asked the question: "So where did you have your first kiss with Hinata?"
"Never." Jonathan replied.
"Are you joking with us?" Kisame was shocked.
"It's true! I'm telling the truth here! We've never kiss before."
"Let's just carry on." Konan interrupted.
The bottle spun and pointed at Hidan.
"I dare you to kill yourself." Kakuzu dared.
They started fighting and everyone just stared at them.
"Can I set the dare for the next person?" Jonathan asked.
"Sure, sure." Konan agreed. They ignored Kakuzu and Hidan and carried on with the game.
Pein got chosen next and naturally he would pick dare. Jonathan dared him to touch the moon on the sky. Pein was troubled at first then he took a pail of water, went out of the house and positioned the pail so that the water reflected the moon and the sky. Pein then reach his hand into the water to 'touch' the moon.
Rebecca was up next and she chose dare. She was dared to kiss Kisame.
Rebecca did not want to be looked down on by others by forfeiting the dare; Rebecca went up to Kisame and kissed him on the cheek. But Sasuke was so jealous that he refused to look at anyone and just stared down on his knees.
Unfortunately, the bottle next pointed at Sasuke and he unwillingly chose a dare.
"Well since you look so down and jealous, how about a dare to confess your feelings for the person you like?" Konan grinned mischievously.
Sasuke gathered up his courage and turned to Rebecca and said, "Rebecca, I'm sure you know of my feelings for you so I'll skip that part. But to tell you the truth I really didn't enjoy or should I say I hate it a lot when you went up to Kisame and did what you did to him."
Sasuke next then spun the bottle and it rested when it was pointing at Konan. Konan picked dare and was dared to kiss Pein.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss..." Everyone chanted. Under pressure, Konan went to Pein and planted a kiss on Pein's cheek. Konan and Pein then blushed profusely that they resembled a tomato.
The next person that got chosen was Regina. She picked a dare and was dared to wear the dress that Itachi gave and parade round the room. Regina was appalled at first but after some coaxing, she went unhappily to her room and changed. She came down soon after and everyone was shocked. No one could ever imagine how Regina looked like if they did not see her for themselves.
Up next was Itachi. He was forced to pick truth under the pressure of everyone.
"How many times have you gone on a date with my sister?" Rebecca asked.
"Er...I can't really remember. About three to four times..?" Itachi answered.
"Okay, okay, let's just get on with it." Konan rushed.
"Hey Hinata, how about you give a kiss to Jonathan right now?" Regina teased. Hinata blushed profusely and Jonathan was too shock to voice out any protest.
Everyone was so looking forward to it they were just looking from Jonathan to Hinata and continued to and fro. Hinata was so embarrassed and pressurize that she just went up and pecked Jonathan on the cheek. But Jonathan turned his head that very moment and they accidentally kissed on the lips. The both of tem stayed frozen until Hinata backed away in total shock and ran up to her room.
Jonathan blushed like he had never blush before and was smiling like an idiot to himself.
"Well, well now we all know where and when your had your first kiss." Kisame teased.
"Tell us, was it on purpose when you turned your head?" Sasori asked.
"Like NO! I just wanted to kiss her on the cheek before she gets even more embarrassed. Little did I know that she was also coming to kiss me on the cheek. Our lips just touch by accident." Jonathan explained.
"But you sure did enjoy that. Haha."
The bottle then pointed to Sasori and next Deidara. Sasori picked dare but because everyone ran out of ideas, they postponed it and the next person who got chosen will have to do a dare with Sasori. And unfortunately, the next person turned out to be Deidara and he was forced to do a dare with Sasori. They were dared to hug each other tightly for ten seconds before they could release each other.
They faced each other disgustedly and reluctantly hug each other for a full ten seconds before letting each other go and patted their body like they were trying to get rid of each other's body warmth.
"Well since everyone had a go and Zetsu haven't, let's not spin the bottle anymore. Just let Zetsu pick truth or dare." Konan suggested.
"No way am I doing it." Zetsu refused.
"Just go along with Konan's wishes. It's her birthday, remember?" Pein reminded.
"Then what about Hidan and Kakuzu? They hadn't gone through it yet."
"They're fighting. Do you really want to break them up?"
"That can be my dare. Which I will fail in doing so."
"Ok, fine, try anyway."
Well the next part isn't going to be very nice so it'll be edited out.
After Zetsu had seriously tried to break them apart which he failed, everyone decided that it was already very late and they wanted to turn in for the night.
Konan said her goodnights to everyone and exclaimed, "Today is the best birthday party I've ever had!"
