Tukiko walks over to us and stands next to me. "Wanna walk with us?"

I shrug. "Where are you going?"

She shrugs also. "I don't know...anywhere I guess. Or would you rather hang with Deidara?"

"Can he come along?" I say, not trying to sound to clingy or obsessive or anything.

"Of course! And one more thing...you guys-"

I cover her mouth with my hand, muffling the sound. "Eh, no. I don't understand. Whatever could you possibly be saying?"

She licks my hand and I jerk it away in disgust. Me and Deidara run to catch up with Haruki and Tukiko and Tobi runs up to us, nudging Deidara. "You two sure do hang out alot."

I smile. "Yeah, that's what friends do."

"Yeah, but me and Deidara don't hang out barely and we are friends."

Deidara snorts and fake coughs. "No we are not."

"Maybe it's just because he isn't in the mood."

Tobi frowns-I think. "Then why does he hang out with you?"

I look to Deidara. "I don't know, why do you hang out with me Deidara?"

Haruki groans. "Can we go now?"

We all move forward as Tukiko and Haruki go store to store, bags piling up and cutting off their circulation before they switch arms. Me and Deidara laugh as Tobi begins shopping also and eventually, we go inside too. We stand outside the dressing rooms as Tukiko, Haruki, and Tobi try on ridiculous outfits and me and Deidara are the judges. Finally, we make our way to Food Central, which is where all the food places were and we sit at a table, bickering about what to eat. Finally we split up, going to the places each of us wanted to go to.

After lunch, we all head to our room for Tukiko and Haruki to put up their clothes. I sit on my bed and lie back, hands behind my head and sigh. I was exhausted and my feet were cramped. Deidara sits down next to me and glares at Tobi as he looks around the room and messes with things.

I laugh at the look on his face and he smiles. "What?"

"The look on your face! You guys really don't get along, do you?"

He shakes his head. "Nope, not at all. He's Tobi and I'm Deidara. That there should already tell you something."

I laugh at his confidence about himself. "You're so full of it."

Tobi walks over to the bed, observing me and Deidara. "Guess what, Nioki!"

I can hear the excitement in his voice. "What?"

"The Akatsuki is having another party, you should go with Deidara again!"

I smile and look at Deidara. "I think I should!" I nudge him playfully. "What do you say, shall we go party hardy?"

He laughs heartily, smiling broad. "Yes, I think we should! It will be fun and your friends can come too, if they'd like."

I squeal in utter excitement. "Tukiko, Haruki, do you guys wanna party?"

They both jump up happily. "Of course!" They say in unison.

We change hurriedly in the bathroom and walk out, posing sexily. "How do we look?" We say, trying to hold back our giggles.

We head to the party and, again, the flashing lights and loud music caught my attention. We "dance" for a little while before me and Deidara sit down and have a few drinks. He groans as Tobi approaches us and sits, ordering a drink as well.

I poke Deidara. "Should he really be getting a drink?"

He shrugs. "If it makes him leave me alone then let him go at it!" Tukiko and Haruki were still on the dance floor and I laugh as they "dance" freely, swaying their hips and throwing their hands in the air. Eventually, they get exhausted and come to sit down at the bar, ordering two sakes.

I stand and sit next to Haruki. "Wanna play spin the bottle?"

Her face lights up and she smiles mischievously. "I say...YES!" I grab a bottle and run to an area with sofas and chairs and a table.

Deidara and Tukiko raise their eyebrows, questioningly. "Spin the bottle? Are you serious?"

Me and Haruki look at each other and a silent conversation passes between us: we would have to explain. "Its a party! We need to do something every party does so...Spin the Bottle!" Tukiko and Deidara look doubtful. "C'mon, it will be fun!"

"But there's no one else playing..."

"Okay, so lets go get people to play!" Me and Haruki place the bottle on the table before running to the dance floor and gather Akatsuki members.

We stand at the table. There was me, Haruki, Tukiko, Deidara, Hidan-of course- Tobi-although I don't know how that was going to work with his mask-Sasori, Itachi, Kisame, Konan, and Pein. We all squeeze to sit on the sofas.

I look to everyone excitedly. "So, who starts?" The girls were on one sofa, the guys on the other and sitting in the chairs.

Haruki grabs the bottle and spins it...landing on...Deidara. I laugh as they both stand, walking around the table and stand in front of each other.

"C'mon Deidara, kiss her!" They both lean forward and kiss before sitting back down. It lasted maybe a second, at the most.

I take the bottle, spinning it...landing on...I groan as it comes to a stop, pointing at...Hidan.

We stand in front of each other, Hidan is laughing and I am glaring at the bottle.

"C'mon Nioki, kiss him!" I hear Deidara yell before laughing manically. I glare daggers at him. He knew good and well I did not like Hidan, at all. But just to get back at Deidara, I lean forward and kiss Hidan, acting like I enjoyed it. It lasts for a minute or two before we sit back down. Okay, I had to admit although I wasn't fond of Hidan, he wasn't a bad kisser.

Haruki laughs at me and whispers in my ear. "You're blushing."

I punch her arm playfully. "Shut up!" She just laughs again.

Tukiko is next, she spins the bottle...landing on...Sasori. They kiss briefly and hurriedly sit back down.

Konan got Pein-of course that would be her luck, to get someone she actually wanted to kiss.

Next time around, Haruki spins again...landing on...Tobi. Everybody laughs as she huffs. "Are you serious!" As Tobi lifts his mask up slightly to kiss Haruki, Deidara tries to get a glimpse of his face to no avail. He groans and sits down.

She sits down and I laugh. She glares at me. "Oh, shut up!" But she laughs anyway.

I spin the bottle again...landing on...
