🍥🍥🍥🍥 another time skip to a party at Ino's house on Friday 🍥🍥🍥🍥

"Naruko, lighten up. We threw this party to help you relax." Shouted Ino over the loud music. There were lights dancing and people drunk. Naruko decided not to drink tonight since Neji was there at the party as well. She doesn't want to get drunk and give the opening for people to manipulate her. Also, she's been declining everyone's offer to dance.

"N-naruko!" Neji ran up to Naruko who was sitting on a love sit. Neji came and kneeled infront of her. Naruko leaned in and frowned. She smelled alcohol on Neji so he was probably drunk right now. But since Neji was a strong man, he could control himself so he was not that drunk.

"Naruko, please say yes and go out with me on a date" Neji pleaded. Naruko sighed rubbing her temples.

"Neji, that was really sweet of you, but, I'm gonna have to say sorry. You deserve someone better because, honestly, I'm not the one you should be asking. I don't have the same feelings as you and I don't want to lead you on by saying yes and giving the impression that I like you. So, I hope you'll understand." Naruko said sadly.

Neji looked down sadly. He really liked Naruko. So he decided that he wouldn't give up on her. "That's okay. But, just know this Naruko, I won't ever give up. I'll keep chasing after you until you will return my feelings. I'm determined to do so." He then took Naruko's hand into his own, brought it to his lips and gave a soft kiss to show his determination. Then he stood up and went back to partying.

"Wow, he still won't give up even after you said no. Damn!" Sakura sat down next to Naruko and handed her a red cup. Naruko decline the drink saying she's not drinking tonight.

"I know" said Sakura "That's why I brought you orange juice" Naruko raised an eyebrow and eyed the drink in the cup. Indeed it was orange juice. She smiled, greatful that Sakura respected her decisions. Her reaction made Sakura laugh though. Naruko took the orange juice, thankful because at that moment she was just so thirsty, and drank the whole cup of the drink in one go.

One moment she seemed fine, but the next moment the room started spinning. She cursed Sakura for spiking her orange juice. Not shortly afterwards she learned that Hinata was the one that did it. Hinata did it purely out of her desire for Naruko to have fun and to stop mopping around, since the party was for her. What she didn't know was that, it would lead to a break in their friendship.

After a few more drinks and dancing on the table tops, Naruko finally went to sit outside at the porch to get some fresh air and try to sobber up with a bottle of water she brought with her. When she came to the porch she saw Kiba sitting there looking out at the backyard and she joined him, sitting beside him and having a normal conversation with a few jokes. After all they were similar in many ways. It was after a while that they leaned into each other for warmth since it was getting really cold.

And then, the kiss happened. Naruko didn't know what or how it happened, because straight after their french kiss, she blacked out being exhausted from the day.

The following day Naruko had woken up with a headache and she was in Sakura's bed. When she came to, she remembered what happened last night. That dog breath Kiba stole her first kiss. She didn't care about the fact that she kissed back, she just blamed Kiba for it for taking advantage of her when she was drunk. She also blamed the alcohol. She knew she shouldn't have drank. She swore when she sees that mutt, she will kick his poor ass.

And that's exactly what happened the following week at school on Monday. The moment she saw Kiba she walked up to him and asked to talk to him, privately. Kiba agreed and went with her to an empty classroom.
