Warning: This is a parody, and as such contains some drastically OOC
behavior. If you don't like shounen-ai, don't complain to me.
Etc. This doesn't belong to me.
This takes place sometime in the future. Naruto is in his late teens. Just cross your fingers and hope everyone stays in Konoha. This whole fic is based around an idea of what the worst Naruto fight ever might possibly be ( close second was"Orochimaru vs. Konohamaru")
Chapter 1- Wherein Hyuuga and Uchiha become rivals
Uchiha Sasuke could swear he was going crazy. Life had been all right when he and Naruto had been just rivals. Life had been all right when he and Naruto were just friends. Life had been all right as long as he could look at Naruto from afar, always pretending not to be in love with him.
Life was not all right when Naruto showed up to dinner with some girl on his arm, laughing about how the two of them had bumped into each other on his way to the Ichiraku.
Sasuke had always told himself this day would come, but, in his heart of hearts, he had never quite believed that it really would. Sure, Naruto was wonderful, but it wasn't like just anybody would be able to see that. It would take somebody special – and Sasuke had always thought that he was the only one.
Sasuke had always known that he might lose some day, but he had never thought that it would be to Hyuuga Hinata. Now that girl sat, blushing and twiddling her thumbs, while Naruto ordered his noodles and talked incessantly. Sakura, who made up the fourth at dinner, slide into the booth next to Sasuke and nudged him under the table.
"They're so cute, aren't they?" She whispered. Sasuke gave her a look that would have intimidated Death.
The old members of team seven always got together on Thursday nights at the Ichiraku. Hinata must have known that, Sasuke thought. She had planned on 'bumping into' Naruto. And, what right did she have to go interfering with their genin-team dinners, anyway? Sure, Ino or Shikamaru sometimes tagged alone, but that was different. No girl could possibly be as passive and weak as Hinata acted. That was some kind of a scam to trick Naruto into liking her. That was...
With a start, Sasuke noticed that conversation at the table had ceased. Naruto, Sakura and Hinata were all watching him warily.
"Is something wrong, Sasuke?" Sakura asked. "You seem sort of... uh... more intense than usual."
"Yeah," Naruto added. "Why are you glaring at Hinata like that?"
Sasuke looked away angrily. "Dobe," he said. "I wasn't."
The dinner continued, but somehow the mood had been ruined. Anytime Hinata said anything at all Sasuke glared at her, and every attempt Sakura or Naruto made to start conversation ended up trickling off into uneasy silence. Though it was still early, the four of them decided to split up and call it a night.
Sasuke was walking home when he felt a presence coming up behind him. When he turned, he was surprised to see that it was Hinata.
"Naruto not walking you home?" He asked sarcastically.
"Um, I told him he didn't need to," she answered. "Actually, Sasuke- kun, I wanted to talk to you."
Sasuke waited impassively.
"Well... ummm," she took a deep breath and plunged in. "I know you don't like me very much, but I've really liked Naruto for a long time... and I just wanted to know..." She paused. "Are we rivals?"
Sasuke didn't answer for a moment. "No, no!" every fiber of his body was screaming. "Lie your head off!" But her honest question had caught him off-guard. Was it that obvious that he liked Naruto? Maybe everybody already knew anyway. Maybe he was wasting his big chance by refusing to admit his feelings.
"Yeah," he said, then turned and walked away swiftly. Hinata made a motion as if to catch his arm, and then stopped. When he had made it almost to the end of the street, a thought struck her and she raced to catch up with him.
"Are you going to fight for him?" She asked.
A look of surprise came over Sasuke's face, followed by something else that Hinata couldn't quite recognize. Hope? Determination?
"Yeah," he said. "I am.
