Last Week in Konoha: Night One, Part Two
Led by Tsnunade, Naruto made his way back to the party, which was now in full swing. A small band had been set up in one corner of the room, they had just finished a jazzy dance number, and were slowing down to some light ambient music. Many people were gathered around the table
Lee and Guy had moved across the room. In his absence, it had been covered in platters of snack food, and large bowls of punch. He had just entered the room when a hand fell on his shoulder.
"Hello Naruto, are you enjoying the party?" Guy asked with a smile.
"Hey Super Bushy Brow Sensei. Yeah, it's been pretty good so far, though I think it's going to get better."
"Yes, now that Lord Hiashi is gone, we can all unwind. He gets very upset when people behave in an unseemly way. He also will not allow alcohol in the same room with him. Honestly, though he is a good person, I think everyone is relieved he's gone"
"Yeah, especially Granny Tsunade, ha!" Naruto said when he saw Tsunade make her way straight to the bar that had been set up.
"Yes, the Hokage certainly does like her sake. I think I'll head over there and get a glass myself, see ya." Guy said as he also walked towards the bar. Most of the Jonin were there, trying to unwind after putting in a long day, many of them had only just returned from missions when they received the invitation. Naruto made his way over to a group of his fellow genin.
"Hey Naruto, what's up?" Shikamaru asked, turning away from Ino.
"Just trying to enjoy the party, what about you Shikamaru?"
"Ah man, this party is nothing but one big drag. Having to get dressed up just so I can eat a meal and talk with people I see every day, what a bore."
"Oh please, Shikamaru, you and Choji hardly dressed up for this. I've been having a wonderful time myself. Ah, the only thing that would make tonight perfect would be if Sa......." Ino stopped mid-sentence with an embarrassed look on her face, "Sorry Naruto, I know you don't like to talk about.....you know."
"That's alright Ino, I'm fine now, really. Hey, I'm gonna go talk with kiba. See you guys later." Naruto said as turned and hurried over towards the other genin.
"Great job Ino, why don't you just stab him with a kunai and get it over with already." Shikimaru said, rolling his eyes.
"Ugh....He's not the only one Sasuke hurt ya know. Sakura and I got together and cried our eyes out, because we knew we would never see him again, and so our love would go on unreturned forever." Ino said, tears welling in her eyes.
"Aw man....I'm sorry Ino, I didn't mean to be so mean. I've just been under a lot of stress lately, It's not easy being a replacement squad leader, ya know."
"That's ok Shikamaru. I promised myself I wouldn't get like that again, but seeing Naruto so hurt, and then you saying that, I just snapped a little, I guess."
"Hey guys, whats goin' on?" Choji asked walking up with a plate full of snacks and glass of punch.
"Choji, how thoughtful, getting us all snacks." Ino reached for the top most cookie, but Choji pulled the plate away.
"I don't think so Ino, if you want snacks, you can get'em yourself. These are mine."
"Fine, if you don't want to be a gentleman and share that's fine by me. I'm on a diet anyway." Ino stormed off in huff.
"Heh, thanks Choji, she was starting to get depressed again."
"Yeah, I saw that, so I figured the best way of snapping her out of it was acting like a jerk. You want some, Shikamaru?" Choji asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Maybe if we can sneak away later, but for now I'll just have a brownie" Shikamaru took a brownie from the stack and bit down, savoring the dark chocolate.
****************************************************************************************
"Hey Kiba, what's up?" Naruto asked as he walked up to him.
"Not much man. Just enjoying the party."
"When does Shino get back?"
"I asked The Hokage, and she said he and his father would be back in a few days. I just hope he's ok, he's never been on mission that's lasted this long."
"How's....Akamaru?"
"He's much better now. He's up and walking again, and Hana says I can start taking him for regular walks tomorrow."
"That's great Kiba. Hey, listen......I'm s..."
"Naruto, you don't need to apologize. Akamaru and I were injured in the line of duty, helping a friend. Besides, we're shinobi, we knew that something like this could happen to us, or our friends. The only thing I've taken away from that experience is that I need to become even stronger, so that Akamaru will never be hurt like that again." Kiba clenched his fist at these words, making it a vow.
"Wow, thanks Kiba. If there's ever anything I can do for you, just let me know."
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something, could you meet me later on the roof?"
"Sure Kiba, when should we meet?"
"How about in an hour?"
"That sounds fine, see you then. I'm gonna go meet up with Sakura." Naruto turned and walked off, wondering what Kiba wanted to talk about.
"Tonight's the night. I'm finally gonna tell Naruto the truth." Kiba thought to himself, then he saw Hinata hiding behind a fern and went to talk to her. "Hey Hinata, what's up?"
"Oh...Kiba.....um, not much, just, uh....having fun."
"Looks like it." Kiba laughed, then he heard the band tuning their instruments, "Come on Hinata, I'll dance with you." he said, grabbing her arm and dragging her to the dance floor.
"No, that's ok, really Kiba.....I don't even like to dance. Besides, I'm not dressed well enough to dance." Hinata said, her head drooping. She was dressed in a light grey Kimono and an off white obi. Instead of making her blend into the background, like she'd wanted it to do, it made her stand out more, since most everyone else was wearing brightly colored kimonos. It also seemed to bring out her latent beauty, make her skin seem more
creamy, and her hair darker, she looked beautiful.
"I keep tellin' ya Hinata, you look beautiful, trust me."
"If you say so Kiba....." Hinata sighed.
****************************************************************************************
"Hey Sakura, how's the party?"
"It could be better."
"What's wrong?"
"I want to dance with Lee, but we can't just start dancing together, not yet anyway."
"How about you dance with me, then Bushy Brow can cut in?"
"That would work great, thank you Naruto."
"Think nothing of it, it's the least I can do." Naruto said as he led Sakura to the dance floor. They began dancing slowly together, while turning with her he spotted Lee, and signaled for him to come cut in.
"Excuse me Naruto, but may I cut in?" Lee asked with a smile and bow.
"Uh, sure Lee, go ahead." Sakura said, then as they turned away, she mouthed "thank you" over Lee's shoulder. As they spun slowly around the dance floor, they began talking.
"You look beautiful, Sakura."
"Thanks Lee. I know you think I look my best in red, so I chose this Kimono for you."
"I wish we could always be like this."
"Soon, Lee, I promise. I know it's been hard for you, pretending like we were only friends. I swear, within the next month, we'll let everyone know about us."
"Really Sakura? Do you truly mean it? I have dreamt of this day ever since that week after the attack on the village when you agreed to go on a date with me. I would have climbed to top of Hokage Rock to shout out my love for you if you hadn't told me it needed to stay a secret. Will you ever explain to me the reason for that?"
"Sorry Lee, thats not my secret to tell. Just trust me that it was for a good cause, that's all I can say."
"Ok, Sakura, I trust you."
"Thank you Lee." She hugged him, silently thanking Naruto, too.
**********************************************************************************************
Choji, meanwhile, had been wandering thru the halls, looking for a bathroom.
"You'd think in a house with this many rooms, they could put a damn bathroom down one of these halls" he muttered while searching. He came around a bend, opened the next door, and lo and behold, it was a bathroom.
"'Bout damn time. I almost ruined my only good kimono." he said as he rushed in. After he had finished and washed his hands, he began the trek back to the party room.
"Wonder wha...." Suddenly, he was no longer in control of his body, he couldn't move a muscle. He felt his head being forced to look down, and he saw that his shadow now extended down the hall and around a corner.
"Don't scare me like that Shikamaru. I almost had a heart attack."
"Sorry Choji, I couldn't help myself. So, should we see if we can't have some fun in one of these rooms?"
"Hell yeah, that's all I've thought about since I got back from that mission with my father yesterday."
"I know, me too." They began checking doors until they found a guest bedroom.
"Shikamaru, in here, I don't think this rooms in use." Choji and Shikamaru hurried inside, Shikamaru closing and bolting the door after them. Shikamaru turned from the door to see Choji, his kimono already loosened, ready to fall at any time. Shikamaru walked over slowly and began running his hands all over Choji's chest.
"Mmmm, that feels so good." Choji groaned. Shikamaru leaned in slowly, kissing Choji's forehead, working his way slowly to his mouth. They made out slowly, the way that two people who truly love eachother do. Neither of them wanted to rush, but they knew they would be missed sooner, rather than later. Choji dropped to his knees, and slowly rubbed Shikamaru's crotch thru his kimono.
"Oh god Choji, please suck me off" Shikamaru hissed, running his fingers thru Choji's hair.
"Oh yeah, been looking forward to this all night." Choji opened the front of shikamaru's kimono and lowered his black boxers, freeing his rock hard cock, and began slowly kissing, licking, and sucking on it. He took it into his mouth, and began bobbing up and down on it slowly.
"Oh Choji, just like that, don't stop." As he sucked Shikamaru off, he gently massaged Shikamaru's balls with his left hand, while jerking himself off with the right. Looking down and seeing Choji jerking off, as well as the feelings coming from his cock and balls, was all too much for Shikamaru, sending him over the edge in record time.
"I'm cummin' Choji, here it comes. Ugh, oh yeah." He grabbed Choji's head and gave one final thrust before shooting his load into Choji's mouth and down his throat. Choji swallowed it all, savoring every drop he got. Shikamaru grabbed Choji's shoulders and brought him off his knees, kissing him hard, trying to get a taste of himself from Choji's mouth. Choji meanwhile, was still jerking himself off.
"Let me help with that Choji. Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Making a hand sign, Shikamaru grabbed Choji's shadow with his own, and began manipulating his body for him.
"I love when you do this Shikamaru, it's so kinky." Choji moaned. Shikamaru didn't reply, his focus on Choji's body and making him feel good. He made Choji reach up and slowly squeeze and rub his nipples, while making jerk off motions. It was all to much, the kinkiness of the Shadow Possession, the nipple rubbing, and the stimulation of his cock was just too much.
"Shikamaru, I'm cumming!" Choji cried. Shikamaru stopped the jutsu and dropped to his knees in front of Choji, wanting to catch Choji's load in his mouth. He didn't move fast enough, and the first few shots landed all over his face, but he did nurse Choji's cock back to it's flacid state.
"Sorry about that Shikamaru, let me get you a towel." He looked around and found one on the dresser next to the bed.
"Thats fine, Choji. I like getting facials, remember." Shikamru licking up what he could reach with his tongue, the rest with the towel. When he opened his eyes Choji was already redressed, and watching him. As Shikamaru got to his feet, Choji walked over, took Shikamaru's face in his hands, and gave him a slow loving kiss.
"I love you Shikamaru."
"I love you too, Choji." he replied, holding Choji close to him. "C'mon, we better get back before someone wonders where we are."
"Alright, let's go."
**********************************************************************************************
"Its been about fifty-five minutes, I better go meet up with Kiba." Naruto thought as he looked at the big clock on the wall. He fought his way through the crowd, heading for the door. As he walked down the hall leading to the stairs, he passed Choji and Shikamaru.
"Hey guys, what's up? What are you doin' here?" Naruto asked
"I was just helpin' Choji find a bathroom."
"Oh, ok." Naruto said with a smirk, "By the way Shikamaru, you've got some cum hanging from you ear, ha!" with that he ran down the hall, giggling like mad.
"What!" Shikamaru cried, reaching for his ear, coming back with a sticky mess, "Damnit, we've got to be more careful from now on, Choji."
"Yeah, and we definitely need to have a talk with Naruto, that jerk." Choji growled.
"Come on, let's go back to that bathroom, and make sure we got it all off this time." Shikamaru sighed.
**********************************************************************************************
"Bout' damn time those two got together. Wonder what Kiba wants", Naruto thought as he asecended the stairs to the roof. "It had better be good, dragging me up here this late at night."
"Kiba, you out here!"
"Yeah, over here, and keep you voice down." Kiba called from the edge of the roof, where he was leaning against a the railing.
"Sorry. So, what did you want to talk about?" Naruto said as he walked over to him.
"I wanted to let you know a few things. First....I know the truth about you and Sasuke."
"What do you mean...what truth?" Naruto asked, edging away from Kiba a bit.
"Oh please, Naruto. There's nothing you can hide from my nose. During the preliminary tournament and the mission to bring him back, I could smell Sasuke all over you. I can also smell the pheromones coming off the two of you when you're together."
"Oh....have you told anyone?"
"No way, its not my place to tell anyone else your secrets. So, how long have you and Sasuke been seeing each other?"
"Since our mission in the Land of Waves."
"That long huh, wow. How far along was your relationship?"
"We didn't exactly have a relationship. We would just fuck every now and again." which meant any chance they had to get their hands on each other.
"So it was just a 'friends with benefits' set up."
"Yeah, thats how it started at least."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. What else did you want to tell me?"
"Well, you see....the thing is.......I was wondering, if......"
"Just spit it out out already Kiba!"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me before you left."
"Wha........?"
"Yeah, to be honest, I've been interested in you ever since our match. Then, when Akamaru and I were still recovering, you visited all the time, making sure that we were all right. It was so sweet. That's when I realized that I felt something for you. I don't know if it's love, but its more than just friendship. I need to find out for sure, so I'd like for us to go out a couple of times before you leave. You don't need to decide right now, how about we meet tomorrow night at Ichiraku, I know it's your favorite. What do you say?"
"I don't..." Naruto began before there was a loud crash, and the building itself shook.
"What the hell was that?!?!" Kiba cried.
"C'mom, let's find out." Naruto said as he raced for the stairs.
************************Ten minutes earlier **************************************
Let's liven this party up a little, Kakashi thought to himself as he poured a small bottle of vanilla rum into a fresh bowl of punch. Placing the empty bottle back up the sleeve of his kimono, he made his way over to the bar, leaning against it so that he could see who drank from the bowl. He grinned as he saw Ino, Neji, Tenten, and Choji walk up and refresh their cups.
"Hello Kakashi, enjoying yourself?"
"Oh, hello Guy. When did you get here?" he said as he saw Sakura and Lee approach the punch bowl.
"Ha, very funny Kakashi, you know I've been here the whole time."
"You know I enjoy teasing you Guy." He saw Lee fill his cup, take a sip, then down the whole thing, going back for a second cup. "I see Lee is enjoying the party."
"Lee! Where is he, he's not anywhere close is he?"
"No Guy, he's across the room drinking punch with Sakura. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I just don't want a repeat of the incident at the restaurant."
"What incident?"
"That's right, you were in the Land of Waves when that happened. Well, to celebrate Lee mastering the Lotus, I took the whole team out to eat. Lee was drinking water, as he always does. I was drinking sake, and I guess I set my glass down to close to Lee's. When he reached for his glass, he picked up mine instead, and downed it in one gulp."
"So he got drunk, it was probably a laugh. Prim and proper Rock Lee stumbling all over the place." Lee downed his third glass.
"If thats what had happened, I wouldn't be worried. What I learned that night was that Lee is a natural master.....of the 'Drunken Punch.' He was uncontrollable, he went on a rampage, causing thousands of ryo in damage. Luckily Neji and I were able to subdue him, otherwise who knows what could have happened."
"You mean that if Lee gets any alcohol in his system, he goes berserk." Lee downed a fourth.
"It's only happened once, so I don't know, but I gave explicit instructions for tonight. He is not allowed within ten feet of the bar, or else he would have to do five hundred laps around the village on one leg."
"Guy, we have to get Lee out of here right now!" A fifth.
"Why, whats wrong."
"I spiked the punch." Kakashi said with a sigh.
"YOU WHAT!!!!!"
********************Meanwhile*****************************************************************
"Sakura, would like to get some punch, they just refilled the bowl."
"Ok." They passed Choji on the way to the bowl.
"Here you go Sakura." Lee passed Sakura a full glass, then filled his glass for the first time.
"Thank you Lee" Sakura took a sip, "What an odd combination, fruit punch and vanilla."
"Odd, but delicious. I'm going to have another." Lee said, filling his cup again. "I don't usually drink anything but mineral water, but it's a special night, so I'll celebrate." he said aster downing the second glass, and filling it a third time. As he gulped it down, he began to feel a warm sensation filling his body. He began to fill a fourth cup.
"Lee, are you ok? You look flushed." Sakura said, eyes filled with concern.
"Yeah, I'm (hic) great! This is a (hic) great party!" Lee said after downing his fourth glass. He filled and downed a fifth glass in the blink of an eye. "Hey, Sakura, (hic) check this out! To prove my (hic) love for you, Im' (hic) gonna lift this table over my (hic) head, using just my left pinky!!"
"YOU WHAT!!!!!"
"Lee, please, quite down, everyone is staring" Sakura said, he face as red as her kimono.
"Let...(hic)....Let'um stare, everyone here knows....(hic)....knows I love you, know I'll proove it!" Using his left pinky, Lee attempted to lift the massive table over his head. Had the table not been unbalanced from the food and punch on top, he would have done this easily. He managed to lift it about two feet before it flipped, sending food and punch flying all over the other guests. Before the table crashed to the ground, Lee gave a cry of anguish.
"AGH!!!!!! If I cannot......(hic).....if I cannot lift this table to proove my love for you, then what good it is?!?" Lee slammed his left pinky into the side of the table, splitting it neatly in half, then kicked both halves into the wall, causing a loud crash and the building to shake.
"Guy, go for the legs, I'll take his arms!" Kakashi cried grabbing Lee.
"I wouldn't......do that." Guy said as Kakashi flew by, having taken a punch from Lee straight to the face.
"What the hell is going on?!?" Tsunade cried, dashing into the room.
"Thank goodness you're here, Lady Tsunade. It seems Kakashi spiked the genin's punch, and now Lee's gone berserk."
"I can't even leave to take care of official business without this place falling apart. I'll take care of him."
"Please don't hurt him, Lady Tsunade, it's not his fault."
"Don't worry, Guy, I'm only gonna knock him out, he won't be hurt." Tsunade dashed forward, charging chakra into her right hand. Lee launched a kick towards her stomach. She dodged it easily, and just barely managed to catch the fist hurtling towards her face.
"So fast! I have to end this quickly, or one of us could become seriously injured." She thought, dodging a second kick-punch combination. "I need a distraction."
"Lee, stop this instant!" Guy shouted
"Wha..?" Lee turned his head ever so slightly towards Guy.
"Got him!" Tsunade slipped past Lee and smack her palm to the back of Lee's neck. Lee fell to the floor flopping around, unable to control his body.
"What did you do to him?!?!" Guy cried.
"Don't worry, he's perfectly fine, his brain just can't properly communicate with the rest of his body. It'll wear off in a few hours. Attention, this party is now over, please exit quickly and quietly, and thank you for coming. Shizune, see to Kakashi." The fight had only lasted a moment, but much of the room had been destroyed, though thankfully most of the people had already scrambled from the room when they saw Kakashi go flying.
"Kakashi is fine, my Lady. Just a broken nose, and a possible concussion. I'll have him fixed up in no time."
"Good, I plan to have a long talk with him about what happened here tonight."
"Hey Granny, what the hell happened?" Naruto asked as he and Kiba walked into the room.
"Seems Kakashi decided to play a prank that didn't end well."
"I guess so." Kiba said, looking at Kakashi being worked on by Shizune.
"Ok boys, go on home, the party's over."
"Oh, ok. Well goodnight Granny....I guess."
"Good night Naruto. Stop by the clerk's office anytime after noon tomorrow to pick up your payment."
"Goodbye, Lady Hokage. Naruto, I'll see you tomorrow at eight o'clock." Kiba said, running down the hall and out the main door.
"See me tomorrow at eight, what's he....? Oh no, i never got the chance to turn Kiba down! Oh well, I'll just tell him tomorrow, but for now, I've gotta get home. I'm bushed." Naruto muttered to himself. About halfway home, Naruto felt an odd sensation. "Feels like I'm being followed, but I don't see any....hgh!" Suddenly Naruto could no longer move, he was completely frozen mid-stride. "Wait, I've felt this before. Damnit Shikamaru, come out here!"
"Heh, sorry Naruto, it seemed like the best way to get your attention." Shikamaru said, lazily strolling out from an alley he had hidden in.
"What's up, did you need something?"
"I need to talk to you, now"
"What about you & Choji? Where is he anyway, you two are usually joined at the hip."
"He's walking Ino home, she had a little too much of the punch, she couldn't stand up straight."
"Oh, thats good of him. Listen, if you're worried about me telling anyone, don't. I know how to keep a secret."
"Thanks." Shikamaru dropped the jutsu "Me and Choji, we barely have the time to get together anymore, since everyone's mission loads have increased. Before tonight, we hadn't seen eachother in nearly a week, so we were both going out of our minds."
"Wow, you really love him, don't you."
"Yeah, I guess I do. I didn't even realize it until about two months ago. Seeing him lying in that hospital bed, I just knew that I could never let anything like that happen to him ever again, because I loved him. Being such a straightforward guy, I told him the first chance I got. I was worried at first, because he started to cry. He told me they were tears of joy, because he'd known from the moment he met me that he loved me."
"Wow, that's amazing. I'm so happy for the two of you. Listen, I've got a pretty busy day tomorrow, so I've gotta head in, I'll see you later, Shikamaru." Naruto turned and ran.
"Huh, what's up with him?" Shikamaru said, shaking his head, "Oh well, not my problem. Choji's probably waiting for me, I better hurry." He lept onto a wall, and ran up to the roof, making his way toward the Nara forest. Naruto, meanwhile, had reached his apartment in record time, just barely holding in the sobs threatening to wrack his body. He threw open the door and, not even bothering to undress, he threw himself onto his bed. Reaching under his pillow, he pulled out a Konoha headband with a slash across it. He curled his body around it, breathing in the scent from it deeply, it had a calming affect on him, his body relaxed, and after only a few minutes, he passed out completely. It was the same way he had fallen asleep for the last two months.

That ends Night One. Day One should be up before the end of next week, depending on how busy I am with work. If you like the story so far, let me know. If you didn't like it, let me know.
Last Week in Konoha: Day 1- http://mggrubb85.livejournal.com/1663.html#cutid1
Lee and Guy had moved across the room. In his absence, it had been covered in platters of snack food, and large bowls of punch. He had just entered the room when a hand fell on his shoulder.
"Hello Naruto, are you enjoying the party?" Guy asked with a smile.
"Hey Super Bushy Brow Sensei. Yeah, it's been pretty good so far, though I think it's going to get better."
"Yes, now that Lord Hiashi is gone, we can all unwind. He gets very upset when people behave in an unseemly way. He also will not allow alcohol in the same room with him. Honestly, though he is a good person, I think everyone is relieved he's gone"
"Yeah, especially Granny Tsunade, ha!" Naruto said when he saw Tsunade make her way straight to the bar that had been set up.
"Yes, the Hokage certainly does like her sake. I think I'll head over there and get a glass myself, see ya." Guy said as he also walked towards the bar. Most of the Jonin were there, trying to unwind after putting in a long day, many of them had only just returned from missions when they received the invitation. Naruto made his way over to a group of his fellow genin.
"Hey Naruto, what's up?" Shikamaru asked, turning away from Ino.
"Just trying to enjoy the party, what about you Shikamaru?"
"Ah man, this party is nothing but one big drag. Having to get dressed up just so I can eat a meal and talk with people I see every day, what a bore."
"Oh please, Shikamaru, you and Choji hardly dressed up for this. I've been having a wonderful time myself. Ah, the only thing that would make tonight perfect would be if Sa......." Ino stopped mid-sentence with an embarrassed look on her face, "Sorry Naruto, I know you don't like to talk about.....you know."
"That's alright Ino, I'm fine now, really. Hey, I'm gonna go talk with kiba. See you guys later." Naruto said as turned and hurried over towards the other genin.
"Great job Ino, why don't you just stab him with a kunai and get it over with already." Shikimaru said, rolling his eyes.
"Ugh....He's not the only one Sasuke hurt ya know. Sakura and I got together and cried our eyes out, because we knew we would never see him again, and so our love would go on unreturned forever." Ino said, tears welling in her eyes.
"Aw man....I'm sorry Ino, I didn't mean to be so mean. I've just been under a lot of stress lately, It's not easy being a replacement squad leader, ya know."
"That's ok Shikamaru. I promised myself I wouldn't get like that again, but seeing Naruto so hurt, and then you saying that, I just snapped a little, I guess."
"Hey guys, whats goin' on?" Choji asked walking up with a plate full of snacks and glass of punch.
"Choji, how thoughtful, getting us all snacks." Ino reached for the top most cookie, but Choji pulled the plate away.
"I don't think so Ino, if you want snacks, you can get'em yourself. These are mine."
"Fine, if you don't want to be a gentleman and share that's fine by me. I'm on a diet anyway." Ino stormed off in huff.
"Heh, thanks Choji, she was starting to get depressed again."
"Yeah, I saw that, so I figured the best way of snapping her out of it was acting like a jerk. You want some, Shikamaru?" Choji asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Maybe if we can sneak away later, but for now I'll just have a brownie" Shikamaru took a brownie from the stack and bit down, savoring the dark chocolate.
****************************************************************************************
"Hey Kiba, what's up?" Naruto asked as he walked up to him.
"Not much man. Just enjoying the party."
"When does Shino get back?"
"I asked The Hokage, and she said he and his father would be back in a few days. I just hope he's ok, he's never been on mission that's lasted this long."
"How's....Akamaru?"
"He's much better now. He's up and walking again, and Hana says I can start taking him for regular walks tomorrow."
"That's great Kiba. Hey, listen......I'm s..."
"Naruto, you don't need to apologize. Akamaru and I were injured in the line of duty, helping a friend. Besides, we're shinobi, we knew that something like this could happen to us, or our friends. The only thing I've taken away from that experience is that I need to become even stronger, so that Akamaru will never be hurt like that again." Kiba clenched his fist at these words, making it a vow.
"Wow, thanks Kiba. If there's ever anything I can do for you, just let me know."
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something, could you meet me later on the roof?"
"Sure Kiba, when should we meet?"
"How about in an hour?"
"That sounds fine, see you then. I'm gonna go meet up with Sakura." Naruto turned and walked off, wondering what Kiba wanted to talk about.
"Tonight's the night. I'm finally gonna tell Naruto the truth." Kiba thought to himself, then he saw Hinata hiding behind a fern and went to talk to her. "Hey Hinata, what's up?"
"Oh...Kiba.....um, not much, just, uh....having fun."
"Looks like it." Kiba laughed, then he heard the band tuning their instruments, "Come on Hinata, I'll dance with you." he said, grabbing her arm and dragging her to the dance floor.
"No, that's ok, really Kiba.....I don't even like to dance. Besides, I'm not dressed well enough to dance." Hinata said, her head drooping. She was dressed in a light grey Kimono and an off white obi. Instead of making her blend into the background, like she'd wanted it to do, it made her stand out more, since most everyone else was wearing brightly colored kimonos. It also seemed to bring out her latent beauty, make her skin seem more
creamy, and her hair darker, she looked beautiful.
"I keep tellin' ya Hinata, you look beautiful, trust me."
"If you say so Kiba....." Hinata sighed.
****************************************************************************************
"Hey Sakura, how's the party?"
"It could be better."
"What's wrong?"
"I want to dance with Lee, but we can't just start dancing together, not yet anyway."
"How about you dance with me, then Bushy Brow can cut in?"
"That would work great, thank you Naruto."
"Think nothing of it, it's the least I can do." Naruto said as he led Sakura to the dance floor. They began dancing slowly together, while turning with her he spotted Lee, and signaled for him to come cut in.
"Excuse me Naruto, but may I cut in?" Lee asked with a smile and bow.
"Uh, sure Lee, go ahead." Sakura said, then as they turned away, she mouthed "thank you" over Lee's shoulder. As they spun slowly around the dance floor, they began talking.
"You look beautiful, Sakura."
"Thanks Lee. I know you think I look my best in red, so I chose this Kimono for you."
"I wish we could always be like this."
"Soon, Lee, I promise. I know it's been hard for you, pretending like we were only friends. I swear, within the next month, we'll let everyone know about us."
"Really Sakura? Do you truly mean it? I have dreamt of this day ever since that week after the attack on the village when you agreed to go on a date with me. I would have climbed to top of Hokage Rock to shout out my love for you if you hadn't told me it needed to stay a secret. Will you ever explain to me the reason for that?"
"Sorry Lee, thats not my secret to tell. Just trust me that it was for a good cause, that's all I can say."
"Ok, Sakura, I trust you."
"Thank you Lee." She hugged him, silently thanking Naruto, too.
**********************************************************************************************
Choji, meanwhile, had been wandering thru the halls, looking for a bathroom.
"You'd think in a house with this many rooms, they could put a damn bathroom down one of these halls" he muttered while searching. He came around a bend, opened the next door, and lo and behold, it was a bathroom.
"'Bout damn time. I almost ruined my only good kimono." he said as he rushed in. After he had finished and washed his hands, he began the trek back to the party room.
"Wonder wha...." Suddenly, he was no longer in control of his body, he couldn't move a muscle. He felt his head being forced to look down, and he saw that his shadow now extended down the hall and around a corner.
"Don't scare me like that Shikamaru. I almost had a heart attack."
"Sorry Choji, I couldn't help myself. So, should we see if we can't have some fun in one of these rooms?"
"Hell yeah, that's all I've thought about since I got back from that mission with my father yesterday."
"I know, me too." They began checking doors until they found a guest bedroom.
"Shikamaru, in here, I don't think this rooms in use." Choji and Shikamaru hurried inside, Shikamaru closing and bolting the door after them. Shikamaru turned from the door to see Choji, his kimono already loosened, ready to fall at any time. Shikamaru walked over slowly and began running his hands all over Choji's chest.
"Mmmm, that feels so good." Choji groaned. Shikamaru leaned in slowly, kissing Choji's forehead, working his way slowly to his mouth. They made out slowly, the way that two people who truly love eachother do. Neither of them wanted to rush, but they knew they would be missed sooner, rather than later. Choji dropped to his knees, and slowly rubbed Shikamaru's crotch thru his kimono.
"Oh god Choji, please suck me off" Shikamaru hissed, running his fingers thru Choji's hair.
"Oh yeah, been looking forward to this all night." Choji opened the front of shikamaru's kimono and lowered his black boxers, freeing his rock hard cock, and began slowly kissing, licking, and sucking on it. He took it into his mouth, and began bobbing up and down on it slowly.
"Oh Choji, just like that, don't stop." As he sucked Shikamaru off, he gently massaged Shikamaru's balls with his left hand, while jerking himself off with the right. Looking down and seeing Choji jerking off, as well as the feelings coming from his cock and balls, was all too much for Shikamaru, sending him over the edge in record time.
"I'm cummin' Choji, here it comes. Ugh, oh yeah." He grabbed Choji's head and gave one final thrust before shooting his load into Choji's mouth and down his throat. Choji swallowed it all, savoring every drop he got. Shikamaru grabbed Choji's shoulders and brought him off his knees, kissing him hard, trying to get a taste of himself from Choji's mouth. Choji meanwhile, was still jerking himself off.
"Let me help with that Choji. Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Making a hand sign, Shikamaru grabbed Choji's shadow with his own, and began manipulating his body for him.
"I love when you do this Shikamaru, it's so kinky." Choji moaned. Shikamaru didn't reply, his focus on Choji's body and making him feel good. He made Choji reach up and slowly squeeze and rub his nipples, while making jerk off motions. It was all to much, the kinkiness of the Shadow Possession, the nipple rubbing, and the stimulation of his cock was just too much.
"Shikamaru, I'm cumming!" Choji cried. Shikamaru stopped the jutsu and dropped to his knees in front of Choji, wanting to catch Choji's load in his mouth. He didn't move fast enough, and the first few shots landed all over his face, but he did nurse Choji's cock back to it's flacid state.
"Sorry about that Shikamaru, let me get you a towel." He looked around and found one on the dresser next to the bed.
"Thats fine, Choji. I like getting facials, remember." Shikamru licking up what he could reach with his tongue, the rest with the towel. When he opened his eyes Choji was already redressed, and watching him. As Shikamaru got to his feet, Choji walked over, took Shikamaru's face in his hands, and gave him a slow loving kiss.
"I love you Shikamaru."
"I love you too, Choji." he replied, holding Choji close to him. "C'mon, we better get back before someone wonders where we are."
"Alright, let's go."
**********************************************************************************************
"Its been about fifty-five minutes, I better go meet up with Kiba." Naruto thought as he looked at the big clock on the wall. He fought his way through the crowd, heading for the door. As he walked down the hall leading to the stairs, he passed Choji and Shikamaru.
"Hey guys, what's up? What are you doin' here?" Naruto asked
"I was just helpin' Choji find a bathroom."
"Oh, ok." Naruto said with a smirk, "By the way Shikamaru, you've got some cum hanging from you ear, ha!" with that he ran down the hall, giggling like mad.
"What!" Shikamaru cried, reaching for his ear, coming back with a sticky mess, "Damnit, we've got to be more careful from now on, Choji."
"Yeah, and we definitely need to have a talk with Naruto, that jerk." Choji growled.
"Come on, let's go back to that bathroom, and make sure we got it all off this time." Shikamaru sighed.
**********************************************************************************************
"Bout' damn time those two got together. Wonder what Kiba wants", Naruto thought as he asecended the stairs to the roof. "It had better be good, dragging me up here this late at night."
"Kiba, you out here!"
"Yeah, over here, and keep you voice down." Kiba called from the edge of the roof, where he was leaning against a the railing.
"Sorry. So, what did you want to talk about?" Naruto said as he walked over to him.
"I wanted to let you know a few things. First....I know the truth about you and Sasuke."
"What do you mean...what truth?" Naruto asked, edging away from Kiba a bit.
"Oh please, Naruto. There's nothing you can hide from my nose. During the preliminary tournament and the mission to bring him back, I could smell Sasuke all over you. I can also smell the pheromones coming off the two of you when you're together."
"Oh....have you told anyone?"
"No way, its not my place to tell anyone else your secrets. So, how long have you and Sasuke been seeing each other?"
"Since our mission in the Land of Waves."
"That long huh, wow. How far along was your relationship?"
"We didn't exactly have a relationship. We would just fuck every now and again." which meant any chance they had to get their hands on each other.
"So it was just a 'friends with benefits' set up."
"Yeah, thats how it started at least."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. What else did you want to tell me?"
"Well, you see....the thing is.......I was wondering, if......"
"Just spit it out out already Kiba!"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me before you left."
"Wha........?"
"Yeah, to be honest, I've been interested in you ever since our match. Then, when Akamaru and I were still recovering, you visited all the time, making sure that we were all right. It was so sweet. That's when I realized that I felt something for you. I don't know if it's love, but its more than just friendship. I need to find out for sure, so I'd like for us to go out a couple of times before you leave. You don't need to decide right now, how about we meet tomorrow night at Ichiraku, I know it's your favorite. What do you say?"
"I don't..." Naruto began before there was a loud crash, and the building itself shook.
"What the hell was that?!?!" Kiba cried.
"C'mom, let's find out." Naruto said as he raced for the stairs.
************************Ten minutes earlier **************************************
Let's liven this party up a little, Kakashi thought to himself as he poured a small bottle of vanilla rum into a fresh bowl of punch. Placing the empty bottle back up the sleeve of his kimono, he made his way over to the bar, leaning against it so that he could see who drank from the bowl. He grinned as he saw Ino, Neji, Tenten, and Choji walk up and refresh their cups.
"Hello Kakashi, enjoying yourself?"
"Oh, hello Guy. When did you get here?" he said as he saw Sakura and Lee approach the punch bowl.
"Ha, very funny Kakashi, you know I've been here the whole time."
"You know I enjoy teasing you Guy." He saw Lee fill his cup, take a sip, then down the whole thing, going back for a second cup. "I see Lee is enjoying the party."
"Lee! Where is he, he's not anywhere close is he?"
"No Guy, he's across the room drinking punch with Sakura. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I just don't want a repeat of the incident at the restaurant."
"What incident?"
"That's right, you were in the Land of Waves when that happened. Well, to celebrate Lee mastering the Lotus, I took the whole team out to eat. Lee was drinking water, as he always does. I was drinking sake, and I guess I set my glass down to close to Lee's. When he reached for his glass, he picked up mine instead, and downed it in one gulp."
"So he got drunk, it was probably a laugh. Prim and proper Rock Lee stumbling all over the place." Lee downed his third glass.
"If thats what had happened, I wouldn't be worried. What I learned that night was that Lee is a natural master.....of the 'Drunken Punch.' He was uncontrollable, he went on a rampage, causing thousands of ryo in damage. Luckily Neji and I were able to subdue him, otherwise who knows what could have happened."
"You mean that if Lee gets any alcohol in his system, he goes berserk." Lee downed a fourth.
"It's only happened once, so I don't know, but I gave explicit instructions for tonight. He is not allowed within ten feet of the bar, or else he would have to do five hundred laps around the village on one leg."
"Guy, we have to get Lee out of here right now!" A fifth.
"Why, whats wrong."
"I spiked the punch." Kakashi said with a sigh.
"YOU WHAT!!!!!"
********************Meanwhile*****************************************************************
"Sakura, would like to get some punch, they just refilled the bowl."
"Ok." They passed Choji on the way to the bowl.
"Here you go Sakura." Lee passed Sakura a full glass, then filled his glass for the first time.
"Thank you Lee" Sakura took a sip, "What an odd combination, fruit punch and vanilla."
"Odd, but delicious. I'm going to have another." Lee said, filling his cup again. "I don't usually drink anything but mineral water, but it's a special night, so I'll celebrate." he said aster downing the second glass, and filling it a third time. As he gulped it down, he began to feel a warm sensation filling his body. He began to fill a fourth cup.
"Lee, are you ok? You look flushed." Sakura said, eyes filled with concern.
"Yeah, I'm (hic) great! This is a (hic) great party!" Lee said after downing his fourth glass. He filled and downed a fifth glass in the blink of an eye. "Hey, Sakura, (hic) check this out! To prove my (hic) love for you, Im' (hic) gonna lift this table over my (hic) head, using just my left pinky!!"
"YOU WHAT!!!!!"
"Lee, please, quite down, everyone is staring" Sakura said, he face as red as her kimono.
"Let...(hic)....Let'um stare, everyone here knows....(hic)....knows I love you, know I'll proove it!" Using his left pinky, Lee attempted to lift the massive table over his head. Had the table not been unbalanced from the food and punch on top, he would have done this easily. He managed to lift it about two feet before it flipped, sending food and punch flying all over the other guests. Before the table crashed to the ground, Lee gave a cry of anguish.
"AGH!!!!!! If I cannot......(hic).....if I cannot lift this table to proove my love for you, then what good it is?!?" Lee slammed his left pinky into the side of the table, splitting it neatly in half, then kicked both halves into the wall, causing a loud crash and the building to shake.
"Guy, go for the legs, I'll take his arms!" Kakashi cried grabbing Lee.
"I wouldn't......do that." Guy said as Kakashi flew by, having taken a punch from Lee straight to the face.
"What the hell is going on?!?" Tsunade cried, dashing into the room.
"Thank goodness you're here, Lady Tsunade. It seems Kakashi spiked the genin's punch, and now Lee's gone berserk."
"I can't even leave to take care of official business without this place falling apart. I'll take care of him."
"Please don't hurt him, Lady Tsunade, it's not his fault."
"Don't worry, Guy, I'm only gonna knock him out, he won't be hurt." Tsunade dashed forward, charging chakra into her right hand. Lee launched a kick towards her stomach. She dodged it easily, and just barely managed to catch the fist hurtling towards her face.
"So fast! I have to end this quickly, or one of us could become seriously injured." She thought, dodging a second kick-punch combination. "I need a distraction."
"Lee, stop this instant!" Guy shouted
"Wha..?" Lee turned his head ever so slightly towards Guy.
"Got him!" Tsunade slipped past Lee and smack her palm to the back of Lee's neck. Lee fell to the floor flopping around, unable to control his body.
"What did you do to him?!?!" Guy cried.
"Don't worry, he's perfectly fine, his brain just can't properly communicate with the rest of his body. It'll wear off in a few hours. Attention, this party is now over, please exit quickly and quietly, and thank you for coming. Shizune, see to Kakashi." The fight had only lasted a moment, but much of the room had been destroyed, though thankfully most of the people had already scrambled from the room when they saw Kakashi go flying.
"Kakashi is fine, my Lady. Just a broken nose, and a possible concussion. I'll have him fixed up in no time."
"Good, I plan to have a long talk with him about what happened here tonight."
"Hey Granny, what the hell happened?" Naruto asked as he and Kiba walked into the room.
"Seems Kakashi decided to play a prank that didn't end well."
"I guess so." Kiba said, looking at Kakashi being worked on by Shizune.
"Ok boys, go on home, the party's over."
"Oh, ok. Well goodnight Granny....I guess."
"Good night Naruto. Stop by the clerk's office anytime after noon tomorrow to pick up your payment."
"Goodbye, Lady Hokage. Naruto, I'll see you tomorrow at eight o'clock." Kiba said, running down the hall and out the main door.
"See me tomorrow at eight, what's he....? Oh no, i never got the chance to turn Kiba down! Oh well, I'll just tell him tomorrow, but for now, I've gotta get home. I'm bushed." Naruto muttered to himself. About halfway home, Naruto felt an odd sensation. "Feels like I'm being followed, but I don't see any....hgh!" Suddenly Naruto could no longer move, he was completely frozen mid-stride. "Wait, I've felt this before. Damnit Shikamaru, come out here!"
"Heh, sorry Naruto, it seemed like the best way to get your attention." Shikamaru said, lazily strolling out from an alley he had hidden in.
"What's up, did you need something?"
"I need to talk to you, now"
"What about you & Choji? Where is he anyway, you two are usually joined at the hip."
"He's walking Ino home, she had a little too much of the punch, she couldn't stand up straight."
"Oh, thats good of him. Listen, if you're worried about me telling anyone, don't. I know how to keep a secret."
"Thanks." Shikamaru dropped the jutsu "Me and Choji, we barely have the time to get together anymore, since everyone's mission loads have increased. Before tonight, we hadn't seen eachother in nearly a week, so we were both going out of our minds."
"Wow, you really love him, don't you."
"Yeah, I guess I do. I didn't even realize it until about two months ago. Seeing him lying in that hospital bed, I just knew that I could never let anything like that happen to him ever again, because I loved him. Being such a straightforward guy, I told him the first chance I got. I was worried at first, because he started to cry. He told me they were tears of joy, because he'd known from the moment he met me that he loved me."
"Wow, that's amazing. I'm so happy for the two of you. Listen, I've got a pretty busy day tomorrow, so I've gotta head in, I'll see you later, Shikamaru." Naruto turned and ran.
"Huh, what's up with him?" Shikamaru said, shaking his head, "Oh well, not my problem. Choji's probably waiting for me, I better hurry." He lept onto a wall, and ran up to the roof, making his way toward the Nara forest. Naruto, meanwhile, had reached his apartment in record time, just barely holding in the sobs threatening to wrack his body. He threw open the door and, not even bothering to undress, he threw himself onto his bed. Reaching under his pillow, he pulled out a Konoha headband with a slash across it. He curled his body around it, breathing in the scent from it deeply, it had a calming affect on him, his body relaxed, and after only a few minutes, he passed out completely. It was the same way he had fallen asleep for the last two months.
