Hinata came prancing into the living room after retrieving a game to play. Everyone was enjoying themselves and conversing as the radio played in the background. Hinata set up the game she had retrieved, which turned out to be Twister. “Alright,” she said excitedly, “Let's play!”
“Err…I'm going to sit this one out,” Ino said. “I'm not very good at this game and besides, someone needs to spin the board.” With that, she took a seat on the couch and placed the colorful board in her lap.
“Same here,” Shikamaru said. “This game is too troublesome.” He, too, took a seat on the couch next to Ino.
Hinata pouted. “Aw. You guys are no fun!” She shrugged. “Well, I guess it's just the four of us.”
Neiji, Ten-Ten, Naruto, and Hinata each took a side of the poke-a-dotted pad and nodded to Ino when they were ready. She nodded back and spun the needle. It slowly stopped after a bit. “Okay. The first move is right hand blue.”
The first move was easy for everyone and they all were able to place their hands in the designated spot. “Alright,” Ino said as she flicked the needle again. “Left hand, red.”
They were once again given an easy move and placed their hands on the bright red dots. The game continued for a while until there were only two remaining; Naruto and Hinata. Ten-Ten and Neiji were eliminated when a rather difficult move for Ten-Ten arose. To complete it, she had to bend over Neiji, but when she attempted it, she came crashing down on him and they both fell. They laughed as they got up and walked over to the couch.
Now, Naruto and Hinata were on separate sides of the pad, with their backs to each other. But the next couple of moves Ino read caused them to shift their bodies and now they faced each other with only a small space between them. “Ha! You should just give up now, Naruto,” Ten-Ten said. “Hinata is the best at this game. She never loses.”

“Yeah? And I never give up,” he replied smirking at Hinata who frowned.
“Well then we'll be here a while,” Hinata said smirking back at him.
“Hmm…Let's make this more interesting,” Naruto said.
“What do you mean?” Hinata asked curiously.
“If I win, I get a reward and the stipulation is the same for you if you win.”
Hinata thought for only a moment. “Fine, I agree, but I will win. No ifs about it.”
Hinata thought for only a moment. “Fine, I agree, but I will win. No ifs about it.”
“I can't agree with that,” he said as he leaned in and put his mouth to hers.
Hinata, shocked, pulled away quickly which caused her to lose her balance and fall. She and the other girls gasped at her defeat while the boys smirked. “Looks like I win,” Naruto said as he stood.
Hinata stood as well. “Fine,” she said sourly trying to calm the blush in her cheeks. “You win. What is it that you want?”
Naruto smiled and went to her ear. “I already got what I wanted,” he whispered so that only she could hear. Then he stepped away to see the blush in her cheeks grow darker. He chuckled.
Hinata shook herself. “Did that just really happen...I wonder what everyone is thinking?” Then joy swept throughout her body. “He kissed me! I wonder if he likes me...he must! Why else would he do that? It couldn't have been because he wanted to win...not after what he whispered to me.” Hinata smiled at him for a moment before she started to pack up the game.
You could tell that Ten-Ten and Ino wanted to pull her aside and ask her numerous questions. Mostly, they wanted to know what he had said to her, but they knew that they would have to wait until later before giving her the third-degree.
Hinata disappeared into the hallway again to put the game away, soon reappearing. A slight pink was still present on her face. “So, now what do you guys want to do?”
The night was still young and they were all still in party mode.
“I don't know,” Ten-Ten replied. “I guess we should have thought about this before we threw the party. Hm…do you guys have any ideas? This is a party for you guys anyway…so since you are the quests, you can choose what you want to do.”
They guys looked at each other and then became a cluster as they talked quietly amongst themselves. The girls glanced at them and then at each other all thinking that it was a bad mistake to let them choose what they should do next. But they waited patiently for them.
“So guys,” Neiji started, “how about we get this party started?”
“What do you have in mind?” Shikamaru asked rather intrigued.
“A game of spin the bottle,” he replied simply.
Naruto put a finger to his chin pondering something. “It's a good game and all, but the chances of it landing on a girl, none-the-less, the girl we want to kiss.”
“What makes you think we want to kiss someone in particular?” Neiji asked quirking an eyebrow in his direction. “We all know you wanted to kiss my cousin,” he said with a tint of anger in his voice, “but that doesn't mean we have a certain someone in mind.”
Shikamaru nodded in agreement.
Naruto frowned. “Well then I guess you want to just play to let out some…how should I put this…pent-up energy. But let me just remind you that it is highly possible that the bottle will have the chance to land on either Shikamaru or me.”
“Thanks for that tidbit of information,” Neiji said sighing. “Of course I'm aware of the fact that it could land on you and Shikamaru. That's why I'm praying that it won't. It's just a chance we will all have to take. That is if you guys are still willing to play.”
“I'm in,” Shikamaru said.
Shikamaru's quick reply raised some curiosity in both Naruto and Neiji. “Hmm,” Naruto said looking him in the eyes. “You wouldn't be hoping the bottle will land on a certain someone, would you?”
Shikamaru looked away. “No…”
“Ri----ght,” Naruto replied doubtfully. “Anyway, I'm game.”
Neiji nodded and turned to the now impatient girls. “Sorry. Well, we all came to a mutual agreement.”
“What is it?” Ino asked.
“Spin the bottle,” Shikamaru replied.
The girl's eyes went wide and they looked at each other. “Um…could you guys hold on for a second,” Hinata said.
Now it was the girls who had gathered into a cluster. “Spin the bottle?” Ten-Ten said it mostly to herself. “What do you think of this? Hm…and why do you think they chose that game?”
Ino and Hinata looked at each other. Then Ino replied. “Do you think they want to kiss us?”
“Let's hope so,” Hinata said slightly giggling. “Or else they would be gay and I honestly don't think that they are.”
They all giggled softly, but agreed to play and Ten-Ten disappeared into the kitchen soon returning with an empty Sprite bottle. They sat in a circle and Ten-Ten was the first to spin since she was already holding the bottle. Everyone's eyes were glued to it as it slowed down passing Hinata, Ten-Ten, and Naruto. Finally it stopped. Ten-Ten looked in the direction the bottle was now directed and her eyes connected with Neiji. She blushed slightly, unnoticeably. She caught Neiji smiling back at her. She stood and walked over to him. She squatted down and put her lips to his for only brief seconds and then pulled away and back to her seat on the floor. She glanced at him and caught him once again smiling at her. She looked away quickly.
A loud `ooo-ing' sound came echoing in her ears and she immediately blushed. “Alright, alright,” she said to her peers. “It's your turn to spin, Neiji.”
He nodded and spun the bottle. His moments in bliss were quickly overrun with a feeling of disgust as the bottle stopped on Naruto. They both looked at each other with wide eyes as everyone else laughed. Neiji now cursed himself for choosing this game as he leaned over to Naruto a quickly kissed him for less than a second before pulling away. They both made a gagging sound which made everyone laugh even more. “It's your turn, Naruto,” Neiji said dryly.
He spun the bottle with a sour look on his face. But when it stopped, his face softened as it landed on Ino. He obviously preferred Hinata, but at least it wasn't Neiji or Shikamaru. He kissed her briefly and then it was Ino's turn. She spun and it landed on Hinata. The guys looked at each other and then stared as Ino kissed Hinata briefly. They did it like it was no big deal. The guys frowned, wanting more, but the game continued anyway.
They played for a while, through bad spins and good ones. Everyone seemed to be pleased with the way the game went at the end. They all retired to the couches and chairs now and munched on snacks while conversing with each other. They were having a great time hanging out with each other not realizing that the time was passing. In fact, they were now deciding on a scary movie to watch.
“How about The Grudge?” Neiji asked as he looked through their collection of movies. It was still unopened meaning that they have yet to see it. But the guys, on the other hand, already had. They saw it in the theatre a couple days after it came out.
“Okay,” Ino said. “We haven't had time to watch that movie yet. You guys can make yourselves comfortable and set up the movie. We'll get sodas and popcorn ready and also blankets and pillows.”
The guys nodded and watched as Hinata and Ino went to the kitchen while Ten-Ten went to retrieve blankets and pillows.

As the popcorn was popping, Ino pulled out a few choices of sodas while Hinata retrieved glasses. “Umm, isn't this movie supposed to be scary?” Ino asked.
Hinata nodded. “I think so, but you shouldn't worry too much. If you get scared, you always have Shikamaru,” she said teasing her.
Ino blushed, but was facing away from Hinata so that she couldn't see. “What do you mean by that?”
Hinata smiled slyly. “Oh come on. Are you trying to tell me that you don't like him?”
“Well I don't,” she replied.
Hinata shrugged. “Whatever you say.”
They put everything on a tray and brought it out to the living room where Ten-Ten had already placed blankets and pillows every where and she also seemed to find a nice spot next to Neiji on the couch. Ino placed the tray of goodies down on the table and then sat next to Shikamaru on the floor. Hinata smirked at her, but Ino just shrugged it off and then smiled at Shikamaru. Hinata took a seat next to Naruto also on the floor.
Neiji pressed `play' and the previews started while everyone got situated with their drinks and snacks of choice. Finally, they ended and the movie began.

The girls squeaked as the music boomed and an eerie figure popped out from under the medical table where a burned person lay (The very last scene of the movie). The credits began to roll and the girls took a deep breath. Each seemed to end up either in the lap of the boy they were sitting next to or clinging to them. They blushed and moved away.
“Well I'm going to have nightmares tonight,” Ino said with a dull stare on her face. She sighed as the other two girls nodded in agreement.
“Well you have us,” Shikamaru said. “It is late…” He looked at the clock. “Almost 12:30. It would be too troublesome to go home now. So how about we stay the night?” He had nothing else in mind as he asked that question with innocence.
“I have no problem with it,” Ten-Ten said. “What about you, girls?”
They nodded, agreeing. “Alright,” Ten-Ten continued, “You guys can sleep down here and we'll be in our rooms.”
“But I thought you would be having nightmares,” Neiji said. “Why don't we all sleep here? Then if any of you have a nightmare, we'll be close.” He grinned at them.
“But I thought you would be having nightmares,” Neiji said. “Why don't we all sleep here? Then if any of you have a nightmare, we'll be close.” He grinned at them.
Hinata placed her hands on her hips. “Neiji…” She said his name in scolding way. “I don't think that's a good idea. You are boys after all.”
“What are you trying to say?” Naruto retorted in his boisterous voice.
The girls looked at each other, all exhausted and ready for bed, and nodded hesitantly. Hinata removed the movie and then put the tray back in the kitchen. When she returned, she found Ten-Ten asleep in Neiji's embrace, whom of which lay with his eyes barely open. The same went for Ino and Shikamaru. Naruto was still up and gestured her over to him. She nodded and turned off a couple lights before lying next to him. He covered her. “Good night, Hina.”
She smiled briefly. “Good night.”
