~Chouji's POV~

Sasuke and Sakura both came out of the room. You sat there just munching your chips when you realized you were next. Mikotsu pushed the hat in front of you and you reached in. You really didn't care. It wasn't like you had to kiss the girl. You'd just sit there and eat chips. You pulled out a paper and tossed it on the table in front of you. You didn't bother to look. Mikotsu grabbed it and her smirk faded.

"It's Kimiko." Kimiko glanced at Neji. He was glaring at you. It made you shiver.

"Alright rules a rule get in there and kiss. Seven minutes. Go!" Crystalis said, dragging you and Kimiko in there. She pushed you into the closet and you sat down and ate your chips. Before Kimiko was let in you heard Crystalis say,

"I know you wanted Neji to draw your name but you have to. It's only a game it doesn't mean anything. Unless you make it that way." A minute later Kimiko came in and the door was locked.

"Hi," she said as she sat down next to you.

"Hi," you said after you swallowed your mouthful of chips. Kimiko was staring at the ceiling.

"Ya know I think this is the first time I came in Mikotsu's room."

"Really but don't you live here?"

"Ya but she's the type of girl that keeps to herself. She doesn't let just anyone in her life. The only reason she talks to us is because she needs us for teamwork. However, she has changed."

"How?" you asked gobbling down chips.

"She has become more friendly and now that she met Kankuro, she's way more open. I guess that's what you get when you fall in love."

"You love Neji right?"

"Huh?"

"Well I'm right aren't I? Want some..." you offered her some chips. She smiled and took a few.

"Thanks." She munched on the chips. When she was done, "How'd you know?"

"I overheard you and Crystalis talking."

"Oh. That. Yeah."

"We don't have to kiss."

"Ya we do. They won't let us out until we do, but we can talk until they open the door."

"Mmmm good idea," you munched on more chips. You felt bad that you took away her chance to make out with Neji, but not too bad.

"So who do you like?" Kimiko asked you.

"M… M… me?" you stammered.

"Uh huh you."

"Uh, I like...I…"

"Well?"

"Ino," you whispered.

"Who?"

"Ino," you said a bit louder.

"Oh her."

"Do you know who she likes?"

"Sorta, but not exactly. I heard she recently got over Sasuke and likes someone else, but I don't know who."

"Oh, well at least she got over Sasuke."

"Yeah."

"Time's Up!" Mikotsu called. She opened the door.

"Sorry but you two need to kiss before you can leave," Mikotsu said. Kimiko leaned in and kissed you on the lips. She whispered,

"Thanks," and walked out to take her place between Crystalis and Neji. I walked out and sat down in between Ino and Shikamaru. It was Shikamaru's turn next.
