Hey guys! I hope you liked the last chapter! I tried to give a bit more insight into Gaara and Sasori so I hope that worked out well. Now it's time for some action! Enjoy!

PS: Prepare for some next level cringe because I apparently don't know how to start a party scene without making it sound freaking lame as hell lol.

It wasn't too late to turn back, right? He could still make it out unseen?

Gaara stared darkly at the packed line across the street from him at Sannin's. It was close to 10 and there was still a humongous line outside of people anxious to get in. If the line was this huge outside, he can only imagine the cramped quarters inside the loud place. Even from across the street he could hear the blaring music and the hearty wails of the people inside.

Despite not being inside the place yet he was already regretting letting his brother guilt trip him into coming here.

With a hefty sigh and one last check of his person to make sure that not only did he look decent, but everything was covered, he walks his way towards the crowd of people. As he looks towards where the line ends, he pauses to see that it actually rounds the corner of the building. His face droops with annoyance since he doesn't feel like putting himself through this all for a girl he just met basically a month ago.

As Gaara sees more people fall into the line around the corner, he decides that it's too much of a bother. Cursing under his breath, the angry redhead tucks his hands in his pockets and turns to leave before he hears the sound of someone calling out. With mild curiosity, he turns to see who was yelling "Hey!" over and over again only to find that one of the bouncers was waving his hand at him. Gaara looks around him to double check if there was possibly anyone else around him before the bouncer starts yelling "Yeah! You with the red hair!" at him.

To say he was surprised to be signaled out was a bit of an understatement since he has no idea what he would be called out for. Was it because he was looking at everyone with a dirty look and they were concerned for their safety or something? Because if that was the case, he wouldn't be surprised with all of the bullshit happening lately.

Gaara cautiously makes his way over to the bouncer as other party goers in line just stare at him with suspicion. When he reaches the bouncer, he raises his would-be brow at him when he looks down at his clipboard and flips through it. When he lands on a certain page, he stares at it for a moment before looking at him with a hard stare.

"Are you Gaara by any chance?" The bouncer suddenly asks, causing the said man to pause.

"... Yeah… How do you know my name?" Gaara doesn't go out often, but when he does, not once has someone ever known him by name unless he's told them first. This man knowing his name rightfully caused him to be alert.

The bouncer doesn't seem to sense his tension or rather ops to ignore it as he casually folds the paper back down and pulls aside the rope for him to go inside the club. "We were told to be on the lookout for someone matching your description. You're here for the Hyūga party, correct? If so, go on in."

Gaara blinks a couple of times at the man in slight awe. Was he serious? Did Hinata and the others really go that far to make sure that he got in? How much did they have to pay these people to do that? Whatever the case may be, they're lucky they did otherwise he would be back at home by now instead of being cussed out by the people pissed that they still have to wait to be let in - especially since they're all out in the freezing cold.

When he sees the bouncer becoming frustrated at his stalling, Gaara finally makes his way inside the club where he was checked and told not to worry about payment. Once more stunned by how prepared Hinata and her friends were, Gaara officially makes it into where all the party people were, only to instantly hold his head from how much louder and more pounding the music became compared to the outside. How a few measly walls could defend against this insanity was beyond him. It certainly didn't do his headache from blubbering earlier any favors either.

As lights flashed brightly around him and speakers bumped out perverse songs obnoxiously, people coming in and out of the establishment brushed by him without a care in the world. Some would shove him harshly as they walked by him and he could only glare at them as they walked away. He managed to catch a few lingering glances from girls that walked by him, some of them wearing things that he was sure would leave them with a nasty cold and purple skin by the end of the night if they had to wait outside for a ride.

Having half a mind to leave this place of sweat and horniness, his seafoam eyes scanned the crowd for a glimpse of a familiar face. If he doesn't see anyone he knows within the next five seconds, he was leaving this godforsaken place and going back home - his brother's guilt trips and whining be damned.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Gaara feels himself about to be knocked off his feet by the abrupt force of someone roughly slinging their arm over his shoulders. Before he even has time to catch himself, he can feel this person's breath and spit all over his ear as they try to speak while trying and failing to not slur their words. Naruto was really lucky that his drunk ass spoke first before Gaara had caught his balance otherwise he would have had a fist in his mouth and a bunch of broken teeth.

"Heyyy Gaara~! Gla… Glad ya could make it buddy~!" Naruto grins cheekily as he tightens his hold on the redhead when he tries to get free from him.

"Ya know ya had us allll worried for a sec' bud~!" Gaara growls when Naruto doesn't release him, instead nearly choking him as he starts walking without warning.

"N-Naruto!"

"C'mon ya sloww poke! Hinata'll be happy to see you~!"

At the mention of the birthday girl, Gaara stumbles a bit, making him gag when Naruto wraps his arm around his neck in an attempt to help him. Unfortunately, he did more harm than good, but it's his fault for tripping with a drunk idiot around his throat.

"Hinata was reeeallly worried ya wouldn't show 'cause you been so dumpy lately, ya know~!" The blonde continues to shout in his ear as he shoves his drink in his face. Gaara sniffs the liquid, turning his nose up at the strong smell of whiskey.

He still can't believe he really showed up though, and all for a girl he barely knows. He's coming out of his comfort zone for this girl. Something must be seriously wrong with him. He'll blame most of this on his brother, though, since it mostly is his fault for telling him to go since it's what she would want him to do.

"She'll be really happy now since the both of ya act… actually came, ya know~!" Both of you? Who could this idiot be referring to?

No sooner when he started to question Naruto was his answer revealed to him in the most startling of ways. Never in his life would he have thought he'd see a sight like this.

Now Sasori, he has seen him wasted beyond recognition. The normally aloof and brash man turns into one hell of a goofy pervert when he's under the influence. So it's not shocking him in the least to see him bumping and grinding with some girl as if he was about damn near ready to rip her clothes apart. No, the shocking part is that said girl that he's dry fucking on the floor just so happens to be the birthday girl herself, seemingly drunk off her ass as well.

Compared to the timid thing he's used to seeing, who blushes at the mere mention of sexual things, the woman dancing before him was someone else entirely. He was having a hard time comprehending the fact that shy little Hinata was moving her body so sensually against his frenemy, allowing his hands to roam up and down her body as much as they pleased. Her hands were even entangled in his hair while she laughed wildly with him in her drunken stupor.

"Daamnn Gaara~! You… You're drooling buddy!" The sound of Naruto's sloppy voice ringing in his ears brings him back down to earth. He immediately wipes at his mouth, turning to glare at the boisterous blonde when he has no spittle there.

"Hahahaha! Wooow! You should've seen the look on yer face - ttebayo!" Hearing Naruto laugh so obnoxiously gives him the urge to really knock him dead.

Gaara shrugs Naruto off his shoulders in irritation and attempts to walk away until the blonde shoves his drink into his hands. Gaara looks at him annoyed until he notices him watching Hinata and Sasori as well with the same look he must have had earlier.

"Hinata's not much of a drinker…" The whiskered drunk says suddenly. "When she drinks… She… She becomes a whole new Hinata. She's wild. She's free. She's sexy as all hell… All inhibitions are lost when Hinata finally lets loose, ya know…"

Gaara raises a questionable non-existent brow at his coworker. This random praise of the girl came out of nowhere and it kind of makes him question Naruto's feelings for his so-called friend. He could tell they were close but did Naruto want something more?

Not that he cares though…

Naruto turns to the perplexed redhead with a cheeky grin as he pushes the drink more towards his lips. "See? It's understam… stanf… standable!.. that you'd be drooling over her like this. I know I did when I first saw her like this, haha. We actually made out when I got her drunk for the first time! She was so embar… embarrassed the next day, man!"

He could only blink at the things Naruto was admitting to him. He was more of an open book drunk than he already was sober. Everything that's come out of his mouth so far has shed a whole new light on the relationship between his coworkers and the girl. He was honestly too sane to deal with this kind of dumping of enlightenment right now. Plus he has a multitude of things on his plate to deal with right now that he doesn't really need this culture shock at the moment. He really should have never come here tonight.

Damn you Kankuro….

Just as he was contemplating leaving yet again, despite the pounding abysmal music throughout the club, a high pitch squeal was still heard above all of it, causing him to grab his head in irritation. What the hell was going on that someone felt the need to be squealing like that?!

Gaara's question was answered almost instantly after when he feels arms wrap themselves tightly around his neck and he feels the presence of something tiny and soft pressed against him. His arms open wide as he looks down in shock at the person responsible for his discomfort only to be caught even more off guard when the person plants their lips on his in a chaste peck. He can feel the instant flare in his cheeks and the flutter in his chest when the person pulls back to reveal themselves to be Hinata smiling widely at him with flushed cheeks of her own.

"Gaara-kun~! I'm so happy you could make it!" Her giggling rings in his ears as he stares wide-eyed at her while Naruto laughs at him from the side.

The blood pounding in his ears distract him from all other sounds except for their laughter at his blatant stupefied expression. What the fuck just happened?! Did Hinata really just come up and kiss him out of nowhere? Granted it was nothing major but her lips still touched his and that was in violation of something, right?! Even now, with him looking at her like she has a third head, her grip on him was still getting tighter to the point where he can see her breast pressing up between them.

"Squeeze~" He could hear her muttering even when her face was pressed into the crook of his neck, her lips still placing what feels like light kisses there. But then again, it could just be his imagination since she was just muttering.

"Hinata-sama!"

Gaara, Naruto, and Hinata all look back in the direction of the screeching of her name. Hinata merely smiles guiltily, while Naruto and what appears to be their group of friends all laugh loudly, much to his bewilderment. What's so funny about a grown ass man being held back by a woman from storming his way over to them? This man looked like he was ready to fight, and if they let him go, Gaara was in a willing mood to oblige.

"Neji, down boy." The woman beside him coos with her hand on his chest. "Hinata is a big girl. She's alright."

"But-" The brunette male seems to simmer down a bit, but his pale eyes never stray from Hinata and Gaara.

"Yeah, come on man! Hinata is a free, grown woman now! She can do whatever the hell she wants!" Hinata's friend, Kiba chimes in, raising a cup full of liquor in the air. The others in the group follow suit with cheers as they sip from their cups.

Gaara watches as this Neji character mutters to himself as he finally catches the vibe with their crew. He, albeit reluctantly, sits back down on the sofa, where the woman holding him back promptly drapes her legs over him. Gaara's pretty sure that despite the glower expression he held, there was a tint to his cheeks as the brunette clung to him and whispered something into his ear.

As soon as Neji seemingly calmed down when the brunette woman started placing kisses across his cheeks, Gaara feels another presence beside him and he instantly becomes even more annoyed. The goofy, troublesome grin on Sasori's face was enough to aggravate him alone, but when he feels his frenemy force something into his hand, that boosted his foul mood even further. He already knew what the little shit gave him since he already appeared to be under the effects of it himself if his dilated pupils were anything to go by.

"I've never seen you blush like this before, man…" His slow, relaxed speech is also an indication that his buddy Sasori is so far gone already. Gaara can only wonder how long before coming to this place did Sasori pregame to get this stupid.

"Shut up." Gaara doesn't want to hear about the heat in his face. He doesn't want to make it known that yes, Hinata's kiss had affected him so. Especially from this high idiot.

Sasori just waves his brashness off with a sip from his cup. "Take the chill pill, dude. You fucking need it."

"I don't need thi-"

Just as he was about to retort, Gaara's voice was instantly caught in his throat when he feels hands make their way up his neck until they're cupping his face oh so tenderly. His wide, surprised eyes look down just in time to see the prettiest smile before the owner of that smile turns around and presses her back to his front. As she moves, her hands slowly remove themselves from his face to instead grab his hands to place them on her waist. He can hear an obnoxious chuckle beside him just as she starts moving her body against him in a methodical rhythmic sway. Gaara is stiff as a board while Hinata grinds on him, getting lost in the music, seemingly much to both Naruto and Sasori's amusement.

"Gosh~ I just love this song!" The birthday girl cheers, not noticing the tension she has created within her new dance partner.

The baffled Gaara looks over to his fellow redhead who stares smugly at him, almost as if he was instantly sober. He simply holds out his drink for his frenemy to take just as Naruto is pulled away by a vivacious red haired woman. As Hinata bends over and presses her backside more into his crotch, Gaara hastily pops the pill into his mouth and snatches Sasori's drink from him to help him wash the tiny substance down.

"Careful there, man. It's a fast acting one. Don't wanna get you too lit now, heh." Sasori warns just as Hinata stands back up. Before Gaara can even hand the cup back over to him, Hinata snatches the cup from him and takes a few gulps from it. "Woah…"

Gaara can't keep his eyes off of the bluenette as she hands the smug bastard back his drink. She's all smiles and giggles as she grabs both his and Sasori's free hands, dragging the both of them to the middle of the dance floor, where it seems like most of her friends had gone after Neji's little outburst. As soon as they reach a spot open enough for all three of them to fit for the moment, Hinata releases the boys and begins to dance. And boy does she dance.

Hinata danced as if she didn't have a care in the world; as if eyes weren't following every move she made. The way she swayed her hips was seductive and playful all at once with her skirt flowing with every move. It appeared that she had no clue what to do with her arms since they were either threading through her luscious dark locks or moving to the rhythm of the beat. When she wasn't touching her hair, she would spin, jump, rock, you name it and her hair would fly all around her, casting the perfect black canvas that made her glamorous smile shine. Despite the perspiration dripping down her body, the smile she wore on her face was huge and beautiful. Neither of the boys has ever seen the Hyūga so happy and carefree before, and to say the least, this had Gaara mesmerized.

Sasori, too, was in his own zone as he watched the princess dance to the beat of her own drum. He bopped his head along to the music as his hazel eyes scanned every inch of her body. Seeing her this blissful damn near puts a smile on his face considering the shit she's been through recently. As he takes a sip of what's left in his cup, he spares a glance in Gaara's direction, and what he sees makes him pause. He honestly couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.

Gaara. His Gaara… was awestruck. He wouldn't go as far as to say that he was lovestruck, because that's a damn near stupid notion, but awestruck was totally the word for his frenemy's hopeless expression at the moment. His normally stone cold "don't fuck with me" eyes were actually glossy looking as if he was about to fucking cry. His jaw was slightly dropped, but not enough to be concerned for drool spillage. His whole body seemed stiff and almost strained since he could see the muscles in his neck flexing as he was transfixed on the birthday girl.

This is abso-fucking-lutely insane.

He's never seen his friend look at a female this way before. Never! Whenever Gaara was down to fuck someone, he still remained the same old hardass that he usually is. But no… not this time. No, this time, Gaara has been acting differently… dorky almost. This was, indeed, cause for alarm on his part, but also cause for a little test.

Still entranced by her movements, Gaara is thrown from his daze when he sees someone snake their arm around Hinata's waist, tugging her in their direction. His face hardens until he realizes that it was Sasori who had pulled the Hyūga towards himself.

"Ooh~ Hello!" Hinata squeaks out in surprise before instantly wrapping her arms around the ginger's neck.

With one hand behind her back, Sasori lets Hinata dangle on him as she begins to grind on his leg that he had placed between her own. Sasori's eyes become heavily hooded as he stares between the drunk beauty and his friend. He smirks when he sees that Gaara is starting to become agitated and confused by the sudden display he was making with Hinata. To taunt him further, Sasori holds out his near empty cup of liquor towards him, pleased to have it snatched from his hand like he thought it would. He watches as Gaara downs the rest of the putrid beverage all while glaring daggers at him. Sasori's grin widens further when he throws the now empty cup to the ground and makes to storm off, just like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

However, before Gaara could make it very far, he hears someone call for him just before he feels a pair of dainty hands grab his own tightly. Looking to the person responsible, he's partially stunned to see Hinata maneuver her way around so that she can pull him closer to her. Once he's close enough, Hinata turns back towards Sasori while pulling Gaara closer to her backside. Gaara is at a complete loss when Hinata places his hands on her hips since Sasori already had his on her waist. He doesn't have a second to think when Hinata starts dancing like she was before between both boys, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

"Pl-... Please don't leave…" He hears her mutter softly. "Just… Dance with me."

Gaara stares blankly between Hinata, who looks ready to lose that dazzling smile of her, and Sasori, who was staring back at him with challenge and question. If both of them continued to look at him like that, it would make things harder for him to leave like he wanted to.

"Yeah alright, Hinata!" The trio turns towards the sound of a familiar voice calling out to them, finding Naruto bumping and grinding with the redhead who took him away earlier. "You lucky bastards better know how to dance with her! So far I've only seen a couple of limp dicks, hahaha!"

Both Gaara and Sasori look questionable at the blonde's choice of words, whereas Hinata seems to be spurred on by them as she laughs and kicks up the ante on her dancing.

"Hinata?!" Great… another person to question her.

Turning to their right now, the boys see Karin mid makeout/dry humping session with this dark haired guy that was over in their booth earlier. Despite the pink in her cheeks, she looks between the small group with mild concern. The guy she was with however seems to only have his eyes set on Hinata as she danced before looking back at them with a solemn expression.

"Naruto! Are you sure Hinata's okay!? Do you think she drank too much!? I've never seen her like this before-"

"Relax Karin!" Naruto cuts his cousin off with a wave of his hand. "She'll be fine! Trust me! When has she ever let loose before!?"

"That's exactly my point!" Karin shouts back over the trio. "Maybe she is acting a bit too wild tonight like Neji sa-"

"Screw what Neji said! Hinata is single and ready to mingle! Plus it's her birthday and this is the one time her uptight family isn't getting in her way of fun!" Naruto laughs when Hinata cheers him on, raising her arms in the air, narrowly avoiding smacking two thunderstruck redheads. "Trust me, she's got this!"

As the Uzumaki continue to talk over them about the bluenette's wellbeing, Sasori and Gaara stare at each other over her head. Both of their faces betrayed the complete shock they felt from hearing the news that she is newly single. Neither really pondered as to what happened to the boyfriend, instead intently focused on the fact that now, this pretty little princess, was, indeed, fair game for all. And she was dancing with them… clung to them… ground on them… kissed them…

Where Gaara's eyes carried disbelief and relief all at once, Sasori's eyes quickly became hooded with dangerous intent. Before he could even realize what was going on, Gaara watches as Sasori dips his head to whisper something into the distracted Hyūga's ear. As soon as he brings his head back up, Hinata instantly shuts her mouth as the Uzumaki cousins look on in bewilderment at her abrupt silence. Hinata slowly turns back to look at the simpering redhead with wide eyes and a slack jaw just in time for him to do the unthinkable.

Karin gasps, Naruto cheers way too loudly, the rest of her friends can be heard around the establishment shouting mixed reactions at the fact that Sasori had just kissed the birthday girl. Not how she kissed him like when they arrived, but a deep kiss that had her closing her pretty eyes and clinging to Sasori for dear life.

Gaara's hands tightened around her hips as Sasori moved his lips along hers continuously as catcalls and whistling were heard around them. He's pretty sure he can hear that Neji guy ranting and raving wherever he is at trying to figure out what all the commotion and sudden cheering is about.

Just as Gaara was starting to feel awkward about watching these two make out with him this close, he is thrown completely left field when Hinata suddenly turns around to face him while Sasori looks on. He's confused by the sudden change until he feels Hinata lace her fingers in his hair and gently pull his head down to place her bruised lips on his.

The redhead nearly chokes on air when she kisses him tenderly before pulling away to gaze at him. He can hear the whistling and cheering as background noise in his blood pounding ears. He is bemused, to say the least. First, she and Sasori make out in front of him and now she turns to kiss him? Not that he can complain about it when she's looking up at him with that pretty blush of hers, and those hooded pale eyes gauging his reaction, and of course those kissable puckered lips just begging for him to dive back in…

Taking a quick peek at his frenemy, he's mildly surprised to see the devilish and thrilled gaze in his eyes. All he does is nod his head towards a waiting Hinata and that was all the sign he needed to know that what he was about to do was both equally fucked up and fucking exciting.

Without a second thought, Gaara pulls Hinata closer to him as he brings his head back down to kiss her again. He kissed her hungrily this time as if he had been starved of her affection his entire life. He growled a little and bit her lip when he felt her grip tighten on his hair just as his grip on her hips did. Gaara, too preoccupied with capturing Hinata's lips over and over again, doesn't even mind when Sasori comes to join in on the fun.

The trio drowns out all the noise around them as Sasori brushes Hinata's long locks aside to expose her neck and part of her pretty face. Both she and Gaara instinctively maneuver their faces so as to give Sasori more room to work with. Hinata begins to pant as Sasori's hands trail along her body while his lips brush across her cheek and ear before moving down for her neck. He begins to place constant kisses and nips along her neck while Gaara continues to assault her mouth greedily.

During their intense make out session, Gaara's mind couldn't stop spinning. This was all too much for him, yet he couldn't find the strength nor will power to stop. He blames most of his behavior and this unfathomable moment on the booze and stupid ecstasy he took from Sasori. Yeah, that's got to be most, if not all of the reason he's kissing this woman right now. It's totally not that he has wanted to subconsciously for a while now. No. Not at all.

But then again, what was her excuse? Why was Hinata letting herself be defiled like this in the middle of a public place by two guys she barely knows? It can't be all alcohol right? Maybe Sasori gave her a little something too while they were off dancing before he got here? Highly unlikely with that Neji guy constantly on her ass, but still…

He knows Sasori is kind of an opportunist when it comes to conquering women, sober and under the influence. So it's not that shocking that he would try to take advantage of the situation with the Hyūga girl right now. However, what is concerning is that fact that, despite the many, many, many things he and Sasori have done with women, never once have they ever tag teamed someone like this. Even if they ever bedded the same woman, or even just kissed her, they have never done so at the same time like this. This was a whole new ballpark for them and he wasn't sure if he should be turned off by it or thrilled. Right now, he was more so on the thrilled side because he'll be damned if the noises Hinata was making right now in his ears wasn't hot as fuck.

Gaara suddenly feels a light tug on his hair and pulls back just enough for Hinata to gulp some air. He almost smirks at the sight of her reddened face just as Sasori was when she smiles with hooded eyes. Both men feel her hands going for theirs just before she goes in for another kiss from either redhead closest to her mouth. The winner of her next kiss would have been Sasori had it not been for the unexpected shove from someone shouting and berating everyone.

While the shove was forceful, it wasn't enough to knock Sasori off his feet like possibly intended. Before Gaara could even question what was going on, he too felt himself being shoved away just as Hinata was being ripped from his arms. Damn near calling her name, he bites his tongue when sees that the culprit for their unceremonious parting was that prick Neji. The overprotective bastard was glaring daggers coated with poison at the two of them as he held a dazed and confused Hinata by his side.

"Just what the hell do you two think you were doing to Hinata-sama?!" The angry man yells at them, but the two redheads give no response.

While fellow club goers and their friends stare at the small group, Sasori and Gaara look as if they were ready for a brawl with this man. Where Gaara was just as confused as Neji seemed to be about what they were doing, he was still ready to defend himself if this asshole dared to lunge at him. Sasori, on the other hand, Gaara knew what that face meant. That face meant trouble and blood - lots of blood. Just picture himself going crazy on the robbers from weeks ago times 10. This was not a good Sasori to mess with.

"Neji-niisan, it's alright…" They hear Hinata meekly stutter, only to have it fall on deaf ears. "I'm okay… just calm dow-"

"You two are supposedly the ones that helped her, but here you are defiling her! How am I supposed to believe you two didn't try to rape her yourselves that night!?"

That was it. That was a fucking majorly crossed line.

While they may not be the best of people, they would never rape a woman.

"Get the fuck over yourself, dick." Gaara spews out while Sasori remains silent and daring.

"Neji that's enough, man!" Naruto shouts, pushing between the boys to get to the angry Hyūga. "That's pushing it. They would never do some-"

"But they can tongue her down while she's not in her right state of mind!? While she's vulnerable!?" Neji continues as Hinata tries to push herself away.

"I said I'm fine Neji-niisan!" Now she was getting angry because despite what happened that night, neither boy tried to take advantage of her. "Let me go!"

"No! We are going home right this instance!"

"Neji please, it's her birthday!" The brunette woman from before suddenly rushes over just as the rest of Hinata's friends do.

"That doesn't matter anymore Tenten! This celebration is over!" Neji claims, struggling to try to hold his cousin. "Enough Hinata-sama!"

"No!" Hinata protest, trying to tug her arm away. "I wanna stay!"

"Neji, come on, you're being a bit much and making a scene!" Tenten pleads, only to get his glare turned on her.

"I don't care! I'm not about to sit here and watch as my cousin is practically molested by these two troublemakers!"

"Seems like the only one causing trouble here is you." Sasori speaks challengingly. He cracks his neck and takes a step forward, only to be quickly blocked off by Gaara.

"What did you say?" Neji seethes and the others rush in as well.

"Stop spewing shit about things you know nothing about. You don't fucking know us, pal." Gaara retorts before Sasori could make a move.

"I am not your pal, and you are no longer allowed to be around my cousin."

"Neji, come on. Let's go back to the booth and settle things there. Security is about to come over here to see what the hell is going on!" Karin suddenly pops up, pushing the heated brunette and his cousin over towards their section.

Naruto and Tenten hastily follow after them, leaving Sasori and Gaara to themselves. They watch as back at the booth, Hinata's two friends Kiba and Shino try to calm her down as she begins a screaming match with her apparent relative. They can't hear much over the pounding music, but they're pretty sure that things were about to escalate if their friends didn't separate the two Hyūga soon.

Unbeknownst to the two gingers, the tall dark haired man that Karin was macking on earlier was still beside them, eyeing them carefully. Sasuke gauged their reactions to Neji's familial outburst, granted it was a bit over the top if he had to admit.

On the surface, it appears that Sasori was the more nonchalant one about all of this whereas the other one looks lost and nothing like the angry prick everyone paints him out to be. Sasuke was no saint himself when it came to anger and fighting, so just from the body language alone, he could tell that if they hadn't removed Neji from the situation any sooner, a full on brawl would have erupted between him and the two men. And if what he had heard about the break in at the shop was true, then it certainly wouldn't have ended well for Neji either way. Neji may be good, but not good enough to take on two people on par with himself on his own.

Sasuke continues to eye the two men with suspicion and caution in case they tried to reignite the fire that Neji had caused. As he watches them silently stare at each other, his mind conjures up some questions about tonight - more specifically what led to them kissing Hinata like that.

Going based off of what Karin and Naruto have told him about the two, neither of them have ever really given off any indication of liking Hinata in such a way to the point where they would kiss her. Same could be said for Hinata too since she just naturally treats everyone the way she treated them when she first met them. So what could have made them all want to kiss each other?

If anything, this Sasori fellow had more initiative to want to make out with her considering Karin couldn't stop chanting about this supposed date the two went on a while back. Despite the good time Karin claims to say Hinata said they had, he doubts it meant anything to the guy since he could have sworn he saw him walking around with his ex a few days back. If it really was a date, there's no way the guy could have moved on to someone else that quickly.

And then there's Gaara, the guy who broke arms and has been a supposed dick to Hinata since he helped her out. Not much has been said about this guy to him since he's apparently been M.I.A from work for a few days. Neither Naruto nor Karin really talks much about him except for when he actually does show up for work, which he's apparently always in a foul mood and ready to rip people's heads off, including Hinata's.

So then why kiss her?

Why kiss them?

This whole situation doesn't make any sense, even if you were to pin it all on the alcohol. You have to have some kind of attraction to a person in order to drunk kiss them, at least in his book you do.

Sasuke's eyes sharpen on the red haired duo when they mutter something to each other before making their move through the crowd. Because of the music, he couldn't catch what they said, but the direction they were heading suggested that they were heading towards the exit and not towards Hinata and Neji, who were still yelling and balling at one another.

Sasuke sighs and digs in his pockets in search of a little baggie. When he feels that he still has his goods, he runs his free hand through his hair and makes for the outdoor patio once he knows that Sasori and Gaara have surely gone for good. When he reluctantly agreed to come to his best friend's friend's birthday bash, he didn't expect to be in for a fucking riot. He didn't need this family melodrama or damn near convoluted threesome. He has enough of his own fucking problems.

He wasn't high enough for this bullshit. It's time he finally takes his smoke break, security be damned. He'll even be nice tonight and let a puff out for the birthday girl. Even though he knows she doesn't smoke, she might be tempted to try tonight.

"Happy fucking birthday, Hinata."

Sorry for the long ass wait. I know I said I knew what I wanted to do for the next chapter, but apparently knowing what you want to do and writing it down on paper doesn't actually go hand in hand sometimes. This chapter was actually very difficult for me to write, even with a little prompt/guideline I always set up for myself on how I want a chapter to go. Anyway, I hope you guys like it either way. I really tried with this one. I'd really appreciate if you guys that read this review, follow, and/or fave! It keeps me motivated and driven to get this stuff out even when my brain goes nope!

I hope you guys have a great day/night! Thank you!
