Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Bloodthirsty - Friendship ❯ Kiss me baby! Just wanted to keep my friends. ( Chapter 13 )

OMG! I can't believe I got all those reviews for chapter 11, and I posted it on a Thursday also. Thank you all very much! You're all amazing.

Note: I just saw something today, on ffnet, that caught my attention. There is this other fic that describes a sleepover and a truth or dare game. I just wanted you to know I DID NOT take the idea from there. I actually only spotted it today and I didn't even read it. It's just to clear things up, ok?

Bloodthirsty - Friendship

*By: NightAngel*

Chapter 12: "Kiss me baby! Just wanting to keep my friends."

[This chapter is a little more dark and sad that all the previous ones. But it still has its comedy.]

While Ino cried her eyes out, Naruto and Hinata were trying to wake Sakura up, which was quite harder then they thought.

"Sakura-chan, wake up!" - Naruto asked for the hundredth time. Then a idea seemed to poop inside Naruto's head. - "EUREKA!" - Naruto yelled, making Hinata jump and flush. - "Hinata-chan, please lend me that thing you used on Shikamaru this morning." - Hinata blushed even more and nodded, before searching her backpack for said item.

"H-here it is N-Naruto-kun ..." - Hinata stammered out, handing him the bottle.

Naruto smiled, opened it and placed it behind Sakura's nose. Soon, she started moving said nose, right before sneezing strongly, and jumping awake.

"What the HELL was that?" - Sakura coughed hard, holding her neck and her nose.

Naruto grinned and gave the bottle back to Hinata, from behind their back, so that Sakura couldn't see it.

"Oh my God! It seems like my nose has been ripped apart!" - Sakura moaned, before falling to her knees. - "I feel a nosebleed coming ..." - when she said this, she blushed. Nosebleed were occasionally related to sexy stuff, but this time it wasn't, even if that thought did not diminished her embarrassment at all.

She crawled back to her place, between Naruto and Sasuke. When she looked over to the last one, she saw him blush, and for the longest time she didn't get it. Then she looked over to Ino, who was still crying on Shikamaru's shoulder. It suddenly hit her. Sasuke's revelation! She blushed madly and tried to hide her head in a very deep hole. Then she remembered Ino.

Sakura had always thought that Ino didn't actually love Sasuke, but it seemed like she was really hurt by his confession. Sakura was very sorry for her. If anything, Sakura never meant to hurt Ino. They were friends after all.

"Ino it's your turn." - Temari said sympathetically.

Ino stopped crying and nodded. Wiping her tears away she randomly made the bottle spin.

Everyone gaped when the bottle stopped, aiming at ... Sakura.

Sakura and Ino stared at one another for a long time. Finally, Ino regained her composure and asked. - "Truth or dare?" - her voice was different, probably due to all the time she had been crying and sobbing.

Sakura's eyes softened. - "Truth." - she answered simply.

Ino looked deep into her eyes, and the question seemed to come naturally, unlike what she would've expected after what had juts happened. - "Are we still friends?"

Sakura's eyes widened, along with all the others in the room. That was surely not the question any of them was expecting. Sakura's lips curved into a true smile. - "Of course we are! We've always been, after all ... Ino-chan ... friendship is a feeling deeper than love!" - Ino's and Sakura's eyes watered. They both got up and hugged each other, while crying with happiness.

Temari and the other girls were crying too, and Sasuke couldn't help the smile that graced his lips.

As for Shikamaru, he just frowned, because although he was happy that they had solved their friendship, his heart still hurt. For years he had been in love with Ino and there was always some kind of hope. He always thought that her crush for the Uchiha boy would vanish, and she would somehow notice him. But that day never came. And just a few minutes ago, she had crushed all his hopes. Hopes that had come up a few minutes before that.

When he asked Sasuke the dreadful question, he just expected Ino to realize that she wasn't really in love with said boy. But it all backfired to him. He had seen the sadness in her eyes. He had heard and felt the racing beat of her heart. It felt just like his ... she was heartbroken. That evening, all of his hopes had vanished. Ino was in love with the Uchiha and even if now she was happy for her friend Sakura, her own heart would take a long time to heal. And Shikamaru didn't want to wait any longer, and in the end he would probably not even be noticed anyway, so why care? Why hope? Why long for something he would most likely never get?

Sakura and Ino finally decided to sit down. Ino was wearing a big smile, and when she sat down between Shikamaru and Chouji, she gave a big smile a big bear hug to each. Shikamaru gave her a small smile. She was too happy to see the pain in his eyes. But that didn't go unnoticed to Chouji, Temari, Gaara, Hinata and as unusual as it may sound, Naruto noticed too. The last one frowned. Shikamaru was one of his closest friends and he didn't like to see him like that.

"It's my turn!" - Chouji said happily as he made the bottle spin. It aimed at Kiba. - "What will it be?"

"Dare!" - Kiba grinned and Akamaru barked in agreement.

Chouji grinned. - "I dare you to lick someone's face!" - Kiba went O_O while the others laughed at the thought. - "I still give you the opportunity to choose the person." - Chouji smiled.

Kiba looked around and his eyes stopped on Temari.

"Don't even think about it Kiba!" - Temari growled. Kiba and Chouji sighed, but for different reasons (^-^*hint*). Kiba then looked over to Hinata, who kindly smiled at him.

"Hinata-chan is my own private goddess!" - Kiba said before jumping right in front of Hinata. She giggled and blushed. - "I promise to be your slave for the rest of the week if you lend me you beautiful face for a lick!" - Hinata giggled more and the rest laughed. All but Naruto who rolled his eyes and growled.

Soon, Kiba was licking Hinata's face affectionately, like a dog does to his master.

"K-Kiba-kun ..... Ahahaha .... It tickles ...." - Hinata was crying from laughing so hard.

When Kiba was about to stop, a hand, coming from God knows where(^-^), hit him across the face, sending him flying to the other side of the room. Everyone was like O_o.

Kiba got up with a flash. - "What the hell is your problem Uzamaki?" - Kiba yelled.

Naruto rolled his eyes again and muttered a small - "Ups! My hand must've slipped." - now it was the others turn to roll their eyes.

"The hands don't just SLIP!" - Kiba was about to bite Naruto's head off when Gaara grabbed him and stopped him.

"Sit down Kiba!" - Kiba growled but did as told. He knew better then to piss Gaara off.

"Me, me, me ..." - Temari said excitedly while spinning the bottle. - "TenTen, decide your fate. Truth or dare?"

TenTen sweatdropped, Temari made it look like if it was the end of the world. - "Dare!" - TenTen didn't want it all that much. She still had the image as herself, disguised as the 5th dancing the Hulla-hulla. And mind you, it was not a beautiful memory.

"AHA!" - Temari yelled, getting up and aiming a finger at TenTen. - "I dare you to kiss Neiji-kun on the LIPS!" - TenTen almost fainted and Neiji blushed madly.

"I refuse!" - TenTen yelled back, while blushing like a very red tomato.

"You cannot refuse! Be a proud kunoichi. Complete the mission assigned to you!" - Temari dramatized and the others sweatdropped.

TenTen looked over to Neiji, blushed a little more and then gulped. - «I can do this! I can do this, I can do this!» - she kept repeating on her head as she leaned over her teammate.

"I can't do th ...." - TenTen yell was interrupted when a hand came from behind and pressed her head against Neiji's.

TenTen and Neiji were both O_O while the others cheered on the background.

When the two teammates separated after a veryyyyyyyy long lip-lock, courtesy of Leaf's green beats aka Rock Lee, who had 'accidentally' pushed TenTen's face into making contact with Neiji's, said shinobi got up and went in pursuit of his green teammate, ready to kill. The others were laughing hard at the scene.

"It wasn't all that bad, was it?" - Temari asked a very flushed TenTen.

TenTen touched her lips carefully, still not believing this was reality. She had actually kissed Neiji. Well, it had been a weird kiss, assuming that they were both not expecting it, but still ... she blushed even more and buried her head between her hands.

"I'm going to kill you Lee!" - Neiji yelled, as he ran after the Taijutsu specialist around the house. That was, before a foot set itself in front of Neiji and he tripped, almost hitting his head on the floor.

"ENOUGH! I don't want my house destroyed. And Neiji, you know you liked it." - Gaara couldn't help but smirk when Neiji blushed from head to toe. - "Shino proceed!" - Gaara said, as they sat back on the floor. Neiji and TenTen avoiding each other's gaze, although they were both looking at each other from the corner of their eyes.

Shino made the bottle spin, and it soon stopped in front of Lee. - "Truth or dare, Lee-san?" - Shino asked calmly.

"Truth!" - Lee said immediately.

"Are you still into Sakura-chan?" - Shina asked casually.

"Not really. Sakura-chan loves Sasuke. Sasuke loves Sakura-chan, so where would I fit?" - mention genins blushed at the remark, and a blonde kunoichi felt her heart shatter a little more. - "But my promise to protect Sakura-chan even with my life at risk, still remains!" - Lee made all those poses he usually does, and most of the genins laughed, the remaining just sweatdropped.

"Spin it Kiba!" - Temari said. Kiba nodded and did as said. The bottle landed on Naruto. Kiba grinned. Revenge was sweet.

"Naruto, choose!" - everyone hissed when Kiba growled.

Naruto knew that if chose truth, then Kiba would make an embarrassing question, so he chose ... - "Dare."

"Wrong choice!" - Kiba yelled, aiming a finger to Naruto. - "I dare you to kiss Hinata's neck and to leave a mark." - everyone gasped. Naruto and Hinata blushed madly. - "If you hit me just a while ago, it was because you were jealous. Now do as I told you." - Kiba growled. He knew Hinata loved Naruto, and he also knew that she would never do anything to show him that, being as shy as she was, and Naruto being the dense person he was, would never notice it without a little help.

"I hope Hinata-chan kills you for this later." - Naruto muttered under his breath, as he turned around to meet said girl's eyes.

"I highly doubt it." - Kiba snickered as he watched Hinata's extremely blushed face.

"Hinata-chan ..." - Naruto started as he knelled down in front of the girl. - "... I can just give up if you don't want me to do this." - Hinata shocked her head frantically.

The moment she had so longed for was here and he was asking her if she wanted it. Heck, of course she did.

"It's ok, N-Naruto-kun ..." - the girl took the leaf-head-protector from around her neck and shoved her head a litle to the right closing her eyes, as the other boy leaned closer.

Meanwhile, everyone in the room held their breath, even though they were not aware of their own behavior.

Even before his lips met the skin on her neck, Naruto felt something in his stomach, something that seemed like a million butterflies flying inside of him, trying to get out. It wasn't an unpleasant felling, actually it was quite good. He knew for a while now, that he felt something for the white eyed kunoichi, but never had he given it a thought.

As his lips touched her neck, Hinata had to fight hard the moan that she wanted more than anything to let out from her lips. As he let a trail of butterflies kisses over her, she felt her cheeks burn even more. If her father had seen her in this situation, she would be dead by now, along with Naruto.

When his lips stopped on a particularly sensitive spot close to her shoulder, she had the urge to grab his golden looks and push his head closer as his teeth bitten on her flesh.

Hinata gasped and a hand flew to cover her mouth, suppressing the moan that almost escaped. To her, Naruto let go all too soon, and she almost let go a groan of annoyance as his head lift up from her neck.

But something made her blush even more, and that was the sight of a very flushed Naruto. The boy quickly averted his eyes from her own and got up quickly.

"Are you happy now, you piece of shit?" - Naruto growled out to Kiba.

It was then that they both took a look at the spectators. They all had their mouth wide open, and eyes jumping out. Naruto sweatdropped and blushed a little more.

"What's your problem?" - he asked them all. And finally they snapped out of it.

The girls' eyes turned into hearts and they all squeaked a very noisy "KAWAII!".

As for the boys, some almost laughed, others actually laughed and the rest of them were patting Naruto's back and congratulating him for his new 'girlfriend'.

The girls had already jumped on top of Hinata, wanting to take a glimpse on her mark.

Both Hinata and Naruto were too embarrassed to retort.

"That was fun!" - Temari said with a big smile, as they all sat back down.

Naruto was muttering something about 'pieces of shit', 'bastards' and 'hyper-active girls' while he watched Kankuro make the bottle spin. It eventually stopped, aiming at Temari.

"Truth or dare, sis?" - Kankuro asked with a smile.

"Truth ..." - Temari answered, flinching slightly. Afraid that she might regret her choice later.

"Are you in love with whom I think you are?" - Kankuro asked, growling threateningly. Temari sweatdropped.

«Well, at least he didn't mention a name.» - Temari thought to herself. - "So, what if I am?" - Temari answered, smirking.

"Answer the question ..." - Gaara and Kankuro growled. The others just didn't get it, especially since Kabuto wouldn't give a name.

"Yes!"

Gaara almost ripped his hair off and Kankuro had his eyes in flames.

"Baka of a sister!" - Kankuro yelled, suppressing the need he had to strangle someone right there and then.

"Next!" - Temari singsang.

"That's not fair!" - Ino pouted.

"Yeah, we wanna know who it is!" - Sakura whined.

Temari just laughed and waved a hand at them. - "In your dreams!" - the girls growled and they were all thinking the same thing: «You're going to pay for this Temari-chan!»

None of them noticed the sadness that stained Chouji's features when Temari had said yes.

Gaara breathed in and out, trying to regain his control and then he made the bottle spin.

A smile came to his lips when said bottle came to a halt, right in front of Chouji. Temari gulped.

"Truth or dare!" - Chouji flinched, along with everyone else in the room. Gaara's voice had sounded poisoned.

"T-truth, I guess ..." - Chouji answered, fearing for his life. At least the truth couldn't hurt as much as a painful dare, right?

Gaara chuckled (OMG! Gaara chuckled. Run for your lives!^-^). - "Do you wanna die tonight?" - everyone in the room sweatdropped.

"N-not really ..." - Chouji stammered out.

"Because I surely want to kill you right now!" - Gaara flamed out, making them all shiver.

"Gaara, breath. Ok? Just breath!" - Temari said calmly.

Gaara seemed to hear his sister and eventually calmed down a little. Then he lifted his head, wearing a smile. - "Just kidding!" - they all fell back, anime style.

"THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!" - Naruto, Sakura and Ino yelled at the same time. Gaara chuckled again.

"It's better if we proceed ..." - Temari said, while massaging her tempers. - "Next!" - she called.

"It's me ..." - Hinata made the bottle spin and in short, in landed on Shikamaru.

Hinata looked into his eyes and saw the sadness in them. Her smile soon turned into a frown. - "Truth or dare, Shikamaru-kun?" - she asked kindly.

"Truth." - he said absently.

Hinata nodded and was about to make a question when Gaara elbowed her. He then whispered in her ear. - "Ask him if he is love with Ino." - Hinata blushed and nodded. When she was parting her lips, ready to make the question, Naruto elbowed her and this time he whispered in her ear. Much to everyone's surprise, and Hinata's embarrassment.

What he told her made her frown though, but she nodded her head and then looked to Gaara. He understood that she would not ask his question and nodded.

"Shikamaru-kun ..." - Hinata started, gaining everyone's attention. - "... Were you heartbroken tonight?" - everyone was surprised and gasped. Then their eyes averted to Shikamaru.

Said boy had a frown in his face and his eyes showed all the pain that crossed his heart and mind at the moment.

His answer came without hesitation or complain. Much to everyone astonishment. - "Yes." - Hinata nodded, giving him her best smile.

"That's not fair!" - Naruto whined, and Shikamaru couldn't help but smile slightly. Naruto was a good friend.

Ino just looked intensely at her teammate. Hinata's question had came as a big surprise and when she finally saw his eyes, she understood why Hinata had asked that. His eyes were so pained, so empty. She didn't understand why but her heart hurt at that sight. And for as much as she though about it, she couldn't understand what had made him so sad. But probably, he was in love with a girl from that group, and seeing as they had all been hooked up tonight, he might've been sad if his girl was one of those.

She wanted to comfort him, but she just didn't know how she could do that. So she just sighed hard and with a big smile, she grabbed his right arm and set her head on his shoulder.

She missed the blush on his cheeks and the sadness that stroke his eyes even more with her gesture. She even missed Hinata, Gaara and Naruto flinch at the same gesture. She missed it all, and that only made it hurt even more.

"It's your turn Naruto-kun!" - Temari said with a smile.

"Yeah ..." - Naruto said, not really caring. He was still worried about Shikamaru. - "Neiji? Truth or dare?" - Naruto asked when the bottle stopped spinning.

"Truth." - Neiji answered, frowning because he had also seen the scene and was much displeased with Ino.

Naruto grinned. The happiness returning to his eyes. - "Did you enjoy that kiss?" - if Neiji had been drinking at that time, he would've spilled it all in Naruto's face.

"WHAT?" - he asked, blushing madly. The girls giggled and the boys almost laughed. TenTen just blushed.

"You heard me perfectly well, Neiji." - Naruto grinned even wider, enjoying the look in Neiji's reddened face. - "Answer!" - Naruto urged.

"That is a tricky question! I'm not answering!" - Neiji said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Tricky?" - Naruto's voice seemed venomously. - "I'll show you tricky if you don't answer the damn question right away!" - Naruto yelled, getting up from his spot on the floor.

Neiji sweatdropped. - "Alright!" - Naruto calmed down. - "I did okay! I enjoyed the kiss." - Neiji said quickly, blushing more than he remembered ever doing in his short live.

"AHA!" - Naruto and Lee yelled at once, dancing around in victory. - "Neiji likes TenTen. Neiji likes TenTen. Neiji likes TenTen ..." - they both sang around.

Gaara had his hand on his face, muttering something about 'childish acts'. The rest of the crew was laughing and celebrating too. TenTen was too embarrassed and surprised to do anything at all.

"Ask her out Neiji-kun!" - Ino squeaked out.

"So are you like an item now?" - Sakura asked, giggling happily.

"SHUT UP!" - Neiji yelled from the top of his lungs. They all stopped, looking at him and looking something like this: O_O

Neiji had always been the cool one, the controlled one. And now he had just burst out like that.

"All of you just shut up!" - Neiji breathed heavily. - "I said I liked the kiss, but that doesn't mean anything. Anything at all!"

TenTen's heart seemed to shatter on that instant. Her hopes were so high that night, but now, with those few words, they had all come down to zero.

She should've been expecting this. Just because he likes someone kisses that doesn't mean he likes the person itself. She had been a fool.

As the tears threatened to fall from her eyes, she closed her hand in a tight grip, gaining control over herself she pulled the tears back.

Naruto and Lee noticed it and they both frowned. Naruto only wanted to punch Neiji, and when he was about to do it, he felt someone grab his arm. - "Hinata-chan ..." - Naruto said when he saw the white-eyes girl.

"Let them be Naruto-kun. Neiji nii-chan only wanted to seem strong, sooner or later he will be forced to reveal his true feelings." - Hinata said with a smile. Soon that smile also crept across the blonde shinobi's lips.

"I hope you're right!" - Naruto said calmly as they all sat back down.

"It's my turn." - Sakura said with a smile as the bottle spined around. It stopped in Kankuro who growled in frustration . -"Truth or dare?" - Sakura giggled seeing his annoyance.

"Dare!" - Kankuro only noticed what he had said, when it was already late and he slapped his forehead. Because of his stupidity he would suffer by Sakura's hands.

"It's a dare then ..." - Sakura thought about it for a few minutes, before coming up with a good idea. - "I dare you to ... tell us who Temari-chan is in love with!" - Sakura laughed hard and congratulated herself for her intelligence. She and Ino couldn't have been more happy.

Kankuro sweatdropped. - "No way." - he stated calmly.

"Why?" - Sakura whined.

"Because Temari wouldn't be very pleased with that." - Sakura glanced at Temari and saw her flushed face and angered eyes.

"Alright, then ..." - Sakura needed to come up with a different way to get the same answer. - "You give us a few clues and if we guess, then fine, if not than it's ok anyway. Do you agree now?" - Sakura asked hopefully.

"Yes, but I'll only give you two clues!" - Sakura growled but had to agree. - "First, he likes to eat!" - Sakura's eyes widened.

"Eat? What kind of food?"

"Can't tell 'ya! It would be too obvious!" - when Kankuro said that, most of them looked over to Naruto. (Naruto like ramen, actually he loves it ... lol)

"Second clue ..." - Kankuro started. - "He's a good friend of Shikamaru!" - They were all O_O

"STUPID! You gave too many clues!" - Temari yelled, blushing madly.

"YOU LIKE NARUTO?" - almost all of them yelled [except for Shikamaru, Chouji, Neiji, Kankuro, Naruto and Gaara]

Temari and Kankuro fell back, anime style.

"YOU MORONS!" - Kankuro yelled. - "Don't just jump to conclusions. The clues I gave you can lead you to two different persons. Use your brains!" - Kankuro yelled, irritated.

"Two?" - Sakura asked and then thought about it. - "You're right! It can be either Naruto or ..." - everyone waited for her answer. - " ... Chouji!"

Chouji blushed madly. He had been so drown in his own thoughts, that the idea hadn't even crossed his mind.

"Exactly!" - Kankuro sighed. - "Now sit down!"

They all did as told, most of them still thinking hard, trying to find out who it was after all.

Naruto was grinning for ear to ear and glancing at Chouji, snickering every once in a while. Even he did get it already. Neiji and Shikamaru were just wondering how dumb could they be, especially Chouji who hadn't gotten the hint yet.

"It's your turn Sasuke-kun." - Temari said, still blushing madly.

"I know." - Sasuke rolled the bottle, and after a few seconds, it stopped. - "Dobe, truth or dare?" - Sasuke asked with a smirk.

"Stop calling me that!" - Naruto yelled frustrated. - "I choose dare. Give it your best shot asshole!" - The glint in his eyes was screaming challenge and Sasuke couldn't help but smile.

"You're gonna regret this dobe!" - Sasuke was about to give him an extremely embarrassing dare, but then Sakura's last dare popped in his head. An idea stroke his mind and he frowned.

Naruto frowned also and started to regret his choice. He hadn't chosen truth because he was afraid that Sasuke might've asked something about the nine-tails, but now ... now he feared it even more.

"I want you to tell us ..." - Sasuke started, startling everyone with the seriousness of his voice. - ".. what is it you've been hiding from us and that makes you and Gaara so much alike."

Naruto glared hard at Sasuke before getting up. - "That's an unfair question and I will not answer it!" - Sasuke also got up and they looked deep into each others eyes.

"And why not?"

"Everyone has secrets that they don't tell anyone! Why can't I have my own?" - Naruto yelled furiously.

"I have a felling this is not your secret! Kakashi-sensei knows about it so why can't we?" - Sasuke yelled back.

The others just watched amused.

"SHUT UP!" - Naruto yelled, grabbing his head in his hands. - "What do you know? I don't wanna talk about it, and no one can force me to!" - Naruto was going to get out from the house but Sasuke grabbed his arm.

"YOU are our teammate. You shouldn't keep important info from us!"

"You lived without that information until now. So why can't you keep doing the same?"

"Tell us already!" - Sasuke demanded.

"NO!"

"Don't make me force the words out Naruto!" - Sasuke and Naruto glared hard at each other, and when Sasuke was about to deliver a blow on his teammate ...

"ENOUGH!" - they all looked over to Gaara, who had just yelled. - "Don't force him to tell you Uchiha!"

Sasuke's eyes softened when he saw the hurt in Gaara's face.

"If he didn't tell you yet, it was because he thinks you're not ready. It's because he doesn't want to loose you ..." - Gaara smiled at Naruto. - "Just let him be!" - Gaara separated the two and he saw the thankfulness in Naruto's blue eyes.

"I just don't understand!" - Sasuke said calmly. - "Why he keeps secrets from us ... secrets which we know that are important." - Sasuke sat back down and looked down at his feet. - "I thought we were your friends, but I guess I was wrong." - Naruto's eyes watered with those words and he turned over to face the Uchiha boy.

"You want to know it that badly?" - Naruto asked between sobs. - "Just so you know ... I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to loose the only friends I had ... the only people who saw me for what I am and not for what I have inside of me ..." - everyone looked up at him, and they all saw the tears that now ran freely across his cheeks. They all saw him pat his belly gently as he said the last words.- "... I wanted to keep that ... forever ..."

MUAH! I'm going to stop here. Yeah, I'm evil! An angst chapter for a change. Please leave a review and come back next week for yet another chapter. And expect the unexpected ...

I'm so evil ^-^
