"Hoshi! Hey Hoshi!"

You stopped in your tracks and turned around at the sound of your name.

Sakura skids to a stop beside you and hunches over, gasping for breath.

"Um...what's up Sakura?" you asked, pushing your blonde bangs out of your face.

She took another breath. "Mine and Ino's party is tonight...you are going...right?"

You shrugged. "I guess so. I mean, I've got nothing better to do..."

"Awesome! See you later!" Sakura said before running off again.

You chuckled a bit at her enthusiasm before heading over to your house to change.

~~~~~

Upon ariving at your house, you take a quick shower and go over to your closet to pick out what to wear. You want to look good, after all, since your crush will probably be there...

You pulled out a light blue tank top and a pair of black, form fitting shorts, as well as a black jacket. You tie your long blonde hair up in a ponytail and slide on a pair of plain, white flip flops. You look at your reflection and nod, pleased with how you look.

You glance at your clock.

Oh crap! I have five minutes to get there!

You run out of your house, shouting a quick farewell to your parents, and head over to Sakura's house as quickly as your legs could carry you.

~~~~~

You make it to the party just in time and take a few breaths before knocking on the door.

It is opened by Ino, who grins at you and pulls you inside.

"You're just in time!" she said excitedly.

"Just in time for what?" you asked.

"Just in time for Seven Minutes in Hell..." Kioko grumbles.

Sakura scowls. "It's called Seven Minutes in Heaven..."

"And the difference being...?" Kioko trailed off.

You grinned. That's just like Kioko...

"Hey Hoshi! Why don't you go first?!" Alyss said excitedly while dodging a flying cracker.

"Sure," you shrugged, giggling as Alyss and Kiba got into another heated argument.

"Here is the lovely hat of doom," Tenten joked, presenting you with a hat full of slips of paper.

You reach in excitedly and pull out a slip of paper.

"It's..." you say, unfolding it. "Orange!"

"That's me! Dattebayo!" you heard a familiar voice say excitedly. Naruto jumped off the couch and ran into the closet, all but bursting with excitement.

You fought the blush rising to your cheeks as you slowly walked into the closet.

"Hurry up, would ya?" Temari said, shoving you in the back and sending you flying into the closet.

You fell into Naruto's outstretched arms...and then toppled over with Naruto on the bottom.

You both closed your eyes as you hit the floor with a thud.

"Someone's getting frisky in there..." you hear Kankuro say from outside the closet.

You blush furiously and slowly open your eyes. Your brown eyes meet Naruto's blue ones, and you blush even more.

"You okay Hoshi?" Naruto asked, sitting up and pushing you gently off of him.

You nodded and looked at the floor, too embarrassed to say anything.

"Where are the lights in here?" Naruto muttered.

"Um..here," you said, reaching up and tugging a string, allowing light to flood the closet.

"So...what do we do?" Naruto asked, smiling obliviously.

You blinked. He didn't know? "Um...haven't you ever played this game before Naruto?"

Naruto shook his head, still grinning. "Nope! So uh...what do we do? Play cards, I Spy, or what?"

You could not believe it. You were in the closet with your crush for seven whole minutes, and he didn't know what to do!

"Well, uh, we can do whatever I guess..." you stutter out. "There aren't exactly rules stating what you have to do..."

"Oh..." Naruto said, nodding slowly. "So what do you wanna do?"

Kiss you. "Eh. Doesn't matter to me," you say, ignoring your thoughts.

"Okay! Let's play...truth or dare!" Naruto said excitedly. "I'll go first!"

"...Okay..." you said.

"Hoshi. Truth or Dare?" he asked you.

"Um...Truth?" you said in a questioning voice.

"Okay! Hoshi...how do you really play this game?" he asked seriously. "I mean, what do most people do?"

You blushed as you fumbled around for words. "Well, uh, like I said before, there isn't anything you necessarily need to do but, uh..." you paused. "Mostpeoplekissormakeoutorsomething!" you say in a hurry.

Naruto cocked his head to the side, making himself look oh-so-adorable. "Um...could you talk a little slower please?" Naruto asked.

You took a deep breath. "Most people kiss or make out or something," you repeated, much slower this time.

Naruto's cheeks turned pink. "O...oh..." he said, voice cracking.

You blush and look away. "Uh, my turn. Truth or Dare Naruto...?"

"Um, uh..." he stutters, still blushing. "Truth..."

"Okay. Uh...now that you know the point of the game...are you disappointed to be in here with me instead of Sakura?" you asked, somewhat dreading the answer.

"No," Naruto said.

Your heart pounded in your chest, and you were sure Naruto could hear it.

"Hoshi. Truth or Dare?" Naruto asked you.

If I pick truth, then he might ask me if I'm disappointed to be with him... Which, I'm not, but I can't let him know that!

"Earth to Hoshi..." Naruto said, waving a hand in front of your face.

"Oh, uh, Dare," you said.

Naruto grinned a grin that resembled that of a fox.

"I dare you to play this game with me. The right way..." he said, staring right in your eyes.

Well, just when you thought you couldn't get any redder...you did.

You trembled slightly as you took a few steps forward toward Naruto. But then you stopped, too embarrassed to go any further.

Naruto closed the distance and then pinned you against the wall, his hands on the wall on either side of your head, boxing you in.

You gulped, staring up into Naruto's closed eyes as he leaned his face towards yours.

You let your eyes flutter shut as you lifted your lips to his.

When you kissed, you swore you heard choirs of angels singing in the background.

His lips seemed to fit yours perfectly, as if they were connected at one point and then separated until now.

You reached up and wrapped your arms around his neck and untied his headband, letting it fall to the floor.

Naruto wrapped his arms around your waist and pressed up against you so you two were as close as humanly possible. He gently bit your bottom lip and you opened your mouth, more than willing to feel his tongue rub against yours.

You removed one hand from his hair and slid it up the front of his shirt, feeling his hard abs and chiseled chest. You received a grunt of approval as you raked your nails gently down his front.

Naruto slipped his hand up the back of your shirt and reached for your bra strap, attempting to unhook it.

"TIMES UP!" Ino and Sakura yelled, breaking into the closet with cameras, taking pictures of the two of you as you attempted to separate and look innocent.

"You guys!" you complained, blushing and trying to rehook your bra without seeming suspicious.

"Looks like Naruto isn't so dickless after all..." Sai said.

Naruto looked down at his pants and flushed scarlet at the bulge and attempted to cover it.

"All right Naruto!" Kiba yelled.

"Have fun in there Hoshi?" Misaki asked with a smirk.

You bent over and picked up the headband and retied it around Naruto, who kissed you in the forehead.

He took your hand in his and the two of you walked out of the closet and into the room of cheering friends...
