"Tell me, how are you doing?'' Sakura questioned. "If he's done something stupid just tell me and I'll put him in his place!" She roared, suddenly defensive.

Hinata appreciated her friend's concern. No one had heard anything about the newlyweds for a week. Everyone anticipated to hear about how things had gone. They were especially curious to know if anything between them had happened. The stuff lovers do.

"He's done nothing wrong. We are getting along." She smiled kindly.

"That's right! He knows what's best for him!" Ino chimed in.

"If he EVER did anything we'd have your back, Lady Hinata. You just come straight to us." Tenten offered. They all nodded confidently.

"Thanks." The girls had finally gathered after a dreadfull week of not seeing each other. They had much to talk about and met in Tenten's apartment. They had forbidden the boys to even get near the complex.

"Ladies first! We have MUCH more to talk about!" Ino claimed.

Deciding to change the subject, Hinata spoke, "When is Temari visiting again?"

"She'll be here next week. I think this time it's for vacation and not Hokage related." Sakura announced knowingly.

"Ugh! Shikamaru and Temari need to hurry up and declare their love for each other! EVERYONE knows! Why can't they just come out and tell each other? That way Temari could join us all the time." Ino whined. The couple had been crushing on each other for so long that people often thought they were already married. They even bickered like an old couple. The problem was that they were both a nervous wreck around each other and ended up embarrassing themselves.

Sakura slapped Ino's arm and shook her head annoyed. Tenten nodded her head aggressively in agreement while Hinata giggled softly.

The men gathered at Sai's place. It was small and cozy but not crowded. They too conversed on the marriage topic.

"Sasuke! I've been dying to ask! Does Hinata do weird things in her sleep?" Naruto curiously asked. Shikamaru shot him a glare as if saying: why ask something so private?!

"What do you mean?" Sasuke questioned while biting into his onigiri. At first he was ready to punch and beat Naruto for asking such a perverted question, but then he realized he didn't mean such a thing.

"Let me tell you a secret! You can't tell ANYONE or my head will be hung at my house's door! Sakura actually...snores! HA HA! On our first night beside each other, she slept soundly unlike when we're on missions, and it was the first time I'd heard her! I barely got any sleep that night!" He confessed suddenly, reminiscing that night.

"Really?! Out of all people I never imagined Sakura would be the one to snore! Choji exclaimed.

"Shhh! Don't let her know I told you! She'll actually decapitate me!" Naruto shrieked.

The boys laughed at his fear for his wife. They too were scared of her at times. She could be truly terrifying when she wanted to.

"Ah that reminds me! Did you know Temari kicks in her sleep?! We went on a mission a long time ago and the night was cold so we slept on the same bed to keep each other warm," the boys ooh-ed and teased him but Shikamaru ignored them, "the woman bruised me and nearly broke my ribs! It wasn't light kicks either, they were full blows to the soul." He shuddered while rubbing his stomach as if feeling the pain.

The boys laughed loudly. If the girls heard them they would be beaten to near death, but for now, they just had fun.

"Oh oh! Sai you're dating Ino, yeah? Does she do weird things too?" Lee let out while trying to contain his laugh from earlier.
