The Sleepover

Thwunk. Swish. Thwunk. Swish. Thwunk.

Nari was practicing with Gai's team, as Tsunade had told her to. She was doing target practice at the moment, but later she was going to spar with Tenten.

Glancing over at Lee, she saw that he was doing pushups with an incredible ferocity. Neji was meditating close by. Tenten was doing target practice as well, trying to ignore Gai's ranting. She was failing miserably, Nari noticed, when she saw Tenten trying to hold in laughter.

"Tenten, you want to spar now?" Nari finally asked, putting down a kunai.

"Sure," Tenten replied, still smiling a little as Gai screamed, "YOUTH!"

The two faced off in the clearing, grinning with battle fever. "Ready . . ." Nari said, her eyes glowing.

"Go!" Tenten shouted. They both ran at each other at the same time. Pulling out kunai in an almost identical motion, they met with their kunai hitting each other like mini swords.

Growling in frustration, Nari slid back and narrowed her eyes. She hadn't told anyone about her ability to shapechange, except for Kakashi and the Hokage. She shouldn't have to, though. She and Tenten were pretty well-matched.

Drawing back into the shadows, Nari drew out several shuriken and tossed them in Tenten's direction. She immediately moved, as that position had become hazardous. Just in time, too, for Tenten's own shuriken had hit the place where her head had lain only a moment before.

Nari quietly preformed a Shadow Clone jutsu, and her two clones slid around to encircle Tenten. Soon she was in the middle of a large triangle of Nari's. All three came at her at once. The original Nari drew back in shock as she realized that Tenten had been prepared, holding a fuuma shuriken in her hand, folded up. Tenten slashed upwards with the folded shuriken, cutting Nari's cheek. Nari jumped back, growling.

Several minutes later, they both stood at opposite ends of the clearing, panting. Weapons littered the ground between them, some spotted with blood. They both sported numerous small cuts.

"Shall we call it a day, then?" Nari gasped.

"Not until there's a clear winner," Tenten replied, breathing heavily.

"Alright, then," Nari agreed, and she moved in a blur of speed. Reappearing behind Tenten, she held out a kunai.

Just as fast, Tenten whipped around and pressed a kunai lightly to Nari's throat. "I win," she said smugly.

"Yeah." Nari grinned sheepishly. "Gai-san, may we leave now?"

"YES, GO AND ENJOY YOUR YOUTH!" Gai shouted, holding his arms in the air.

"Oh, Gai-sensei!" Lee cried. They both hugged in front of a sunset backdrop. Nari and Tenten sweatdropped, then walked away. Neji opened his eyes briefly, then closed them again and returned to his meditating.

Nari and Tenten walked into a small café. They quickly bought some food, then walked out to a small table outside with an umbrella on top.

"Hey, there's Sakura and Hinata. Hi, Sakura! Hi, Hinata!" Nari waved at the two girls. They both walked over and sat down. Coming out of the café as well, they had food in their hands.

"Ino's c-coming," Hinata said, sitting down.

"Of course," Nari replied. Ino walked out of the café and spotted the four girls, and hurried over.

"Hi, forehead-girl!" she said.

"Ino-pig!" Sakura flared, her eyes angry.

"Don't you two start again," Tenten warned, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, aren't the Sand Siblings in town?" Nari asked.

"Yeah, Gaara's here to talk to the Hokage and Kankuro and Temari are just here for fun, I guess," Sakura replied.

"Will you look at that. What're the odds?" Nari pointed to Temari, who was coming out of a nearby shop.

"Oi! Over here! Temari, oi!" Nari hollered. Temari came to their table and pulled a chair over.

"Hey, how are you all?" she asked. They all replied that they were fine.

"We haven't gotten together, all of us, in a long time," Nari said suddenly, "we should do something together."

"Well, i-it is Friday night. We c-could have a sleepover," Hinata suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Sakura cried. Then her face fell. "But whose house will we stay at?"

"My parents are out on a mission," Tenten replied, "so we can go to my house." They all agreed, and decided to meet at Tenten's house at seven. Then they all left to do various things. Unbeknownst (big word!) to the kunoichi, Naruto had heard the whole thing. Sitting under a bush, he grinned.

"A party, huh?" he said quietly to himself. "Well, I think I'll go and tell the others!" He quickly ran to his training ground and dragged Sasuke out, ignoring the boy's protests. Then he went and found Kiba and Shino and convinced them to follow him. By then Sasuke had gotten free of Naruto's grip and was glaring at the blond. But Naruto's cries of, "I know something you don't know! And it's good!" convinced them all to follow him.

Shikamaru decided to come when Naruto asked, but Choji declined, preferring to eat. Then all of them went to Gai's training ground to meet Lee and Neji, since Gai had left. Running into Gaara and Kankuro along the way, Naruto dragged them along.

"What is it, Naruto?" Sasuke asked irritably. "And it better be good, you dobe."

Naruto glared at Sasuke, then announced, "The girls are having a sleepover at Tenten's house!"

Shino asked, "So?" Sasuke and Neji said, "Hn," and Shikamaru said, "Troublesome." Lee, Kankuro, and Kiba were looking at Naruto with odd expressions. Gaara remained silent.

"Soo," Naruto said. "We can crash their party!"

"Tch, dobe," Sasuke replied.

"So, are we going?" Naruto asked. They all muttered, but didn't disagree. And so they boys decided to crash a party.
