Nothing much to say...

Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto is a beast. And he owns Naruto. I am very lame, therefore I am not Masashi Kishimoto which means I do not own Naruto.


Sasuke gracefully jumped over the back of the couch and arrived at the door in seconds. Most people would think that it isn't possible to go from sitting to jumping over the couch in one movement, let alone have it be graceful. Most people hadn't met Sasuke Uchiha. Almost everything the Uchiha did was smooth. Sasuke could make a sandwich gracefully, put on his shoes gracefully, even brush his teeth gracefully. Sasuke Uchiha was the epitome of grace.

He opened the door calmly, staring into the surprised faces of the five nerds.

"Hi" he stated, his face blank. Kiba looked nervously at Neji, who seemed unperturbed by this incredibly handsome stranger. Gaara seemed like he was about to crawl out of his skin, his nervousness translating into an unintentional scowl across his face.

They stood there. Sasuke looked over the nerds, frowning when he noticed Gaara glaring at him.

'What the hell is wrong with him? Did I do something?' He thought, a bit confused. Of course, his face was as blank as it normally was. The silence hung in the air, the tension was nearly visible. Naruto looked around, oblivious.

"Hi!" he shouted, overly loud, " This is such a big house! It's great! Can we come in? Do you have any food? I'm starving!" he exclaimed excitedly. Sakura hit him on the head, the thud resounding loudly.

"You idiot! Don't be so loud, you are SO rude!" she yelled at him, being louder than he had been.

Sasuke sighed.

'Losers' he thought, walking away and leaving the door open. The nerds simply stared at him.

"Are you coming in or not?" He said, sounding slightly agitated. They all filed in nervously, following Sasuke down the hall and through a large arched doorway glancing around at the room they had just entered.

'It's even nicer on the inside!' Sakura thought, staring at the decadent furnishings.

The walls in the room were a pearl white and slightly iridescent with dark wood trim at the bottom and top of the walls carved into fancy patterns. The floor was intricately designed deep blue tile and there was an elaborate rug stretched across the floor. In the center of the room was a black suede couch and a loveseat facing a massive plasma screen tv. There were a few other seats in the room including two armchairs that matched the couch as well as a cream colored chaise lounge. In front of the couch was a white marble coffee table that looked incredibly sturdy. There was a mahogany table in the corner with a large arrangement of lovely fresh flowers.

There were fancy bronze lamps but most of the lighting came from fixtures on the ceiling and from the wide windows that lined one side of the room. The windows were currently open letting in a pleasant breeze, the light blue curtains dancing in the wind.

Ino watched them as they gawked over the house.

'Are they even going to say anything to us, or just stare like idiots?' Ino thought, getting annoyed. Hinata smiled at them warmly

" Hello everyone, I'm so glad you came!" she said, her voice ringing sincere. Kiba felt a bit of reassurance, but immediately felt his heart start racing again as soon as he met a deep chocolate gaze. There was something so intense in the way that Shikamaru looked at him that he felt warmth start to rise to his cheeks and swallowed hard, trying to clear his mind as well as the knot in his throat.

"H-hello and thanks for having us over" he said, nervously.

"There sure are a lot of you" Ino said sounding unintentionally rude.

"How's it going?" Shikamaru replied lazily, still gazing intently at Kiba.

Naruto was still gawking at some painting, barely paying attention to the cool kids. Sakura elbowed him in the side, a little harder than necessary.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and answered his previous question.

"If any of you are hungry, there's plenty of snacks in the kitchen." he said, not bothering to point them in the direction of the kitchen.

"Alright!" Naruto yelled excitedly, zooming off in a random direction. Sakura just shook her head, watching him run off.

"Well, I guess um... my name is Kiba Inuzuka" he said quickly, feeling nervous.

"Sakura Haruno! So nice to meet you all!" she said smiling, "That idiot who just ran off was Naruto."

"Gaara" the red haired boy stated, not making eye contact.

"Neji Hyuuga, though you are likely already aware of that." Neji said stoically.

"I suppose we should introduce ourselves" Sasuke said, not making any effort to sound friendly, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha" Hinata stood up and walked over to her guests.

"My name is Hinata Hyuuga, I'm so glad you could all come here today" she said, bowing even though it wasn't necessary.

"WHERE'S THE KITCHEN?" Naruto yelled from across the house.

"What a loser" Sasuke said under his breath, walking off to go help Naruto.

"Shikamaru Nara, Shika if you prefer." he said coolly, his gaze still intense.

"Ino Yamanaka, don't get on my bad side. I have a temper." Ino warned.

"Yeah we noticed" Sakura mumbled, low enough to not be heard by anyone other but Gaara.

Naruto came back into the room, plate full of food, closely followed by Sasuke.

"Hey guys! They have all sorts of food! There's so much and it's all delicious!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly. Gaara noticed Sasuke trying not to smile. Naruto looked around nervously for a place to sit, everyone had already sat down. Sakura motioned him over quickly so he wouldn't have to stand like an idiot.

"Naruto, sit down!" she whisper-yelled at him.

"Where?" he whispered, looking panicky. Sakura looked around and then quickly pulled him onto her lap.

"Sit here for now." she whispered, hoping they wouldn't get any weird looks. Especially from Sasuke.

Sasuke stretched across the chaise lounge and tried his hardest not to stare at Naruto and that girl. He really wished that he had made it more clear that there was more space available on the lounge. That kid, how was he so cute? So innocent, so annoying, but still adorable.

Naruto looked at him questioningly, his head tilted and his glasses falling off his face. Sasuke blushed slightly, trying to hide it, before anyone noticed.

'Damn kid, why does he have to look at me like that!' he thought angrily. No one had this effect on him! He was an Uchiha, he didn't fall for anyone.

"Well I guess Lee isn't coming..." Hinata said sadly.

"Lee, as in Rock Lee?" Neji asked suspiciously.

"Um..yes Neji-niisan" Hinata answered, still slightly surprised that her cousin had came. Neji groaned inwardly. Lee was his science partner. It always wound up with Neji doing all the work and Lee babbling on about something. Neji was okay with it though because if Lee did try to help, it would usually end in disaster. He remembered a particular time when Lee had accidentally lit the classroom on fire. More importantly he had almost lit the end of Neji hair on fire. And nobody, nobody harmed Neji's hair.

'Well at least he isn't coming.' Neji thought, shaking his head.

"Nii-san? Wait are you two related?" Naruto asked, being the slowest to catch on. A collective sigh was heard around the room and Sakura actually face palmed.

"She's my cousin Naruto. Why else would we look so similar? And have the same last name?" Neji asked, annoyed at the blonde's stupidity. He was certain Naruto is were the term 'dumb blonde' originated.

Kiba fidgeted nervously. He sat next to Neji on the couch, but he could still feel Shikamaru watching him from across the room, his gaze was nearly tangible. He accidentally glanced at Shika quickly, just to confirm his suspicion. He felt himself get trapped by a pair of serious, dark eyes. Shikamaru smiled seductively and Kiba felt his breathe catch in his throat, resulting in a cough. Kiba quickly turned away, trying to calm down his rapidly rising heart rate.

'He's just another cool kid! I can't let him intimidate me.' He thought, still catching his breath.

The door swung open, a guy with black shiny hair and a green long-sleeved shirt walking into the room.

"Aw the joys of youth" he said, flashing a sparkling smile and posing with his hand on his hip and a thumbs up.
