Fluffystwin: Not many of you decided to guess at all. Well be prepared for the shock of your lifetime……well maybe not.

"What do you mean he's hiding something?" Kiba asked from the backseat of Saeka's car.

Saeka groaned, "He has to be hiding something, I just know it, but Deidara won't tell me a single thing."

"Maybe Deidara doesn't know," Shikamaru threw in.

"He has to know," Saeka whispered to herself. Naruto smiled at her from the passenger seat, he could understand Saeka's reasoning. Hinata sighed from between Kiba and Shikamaru; she had really wished she was sitting in the passenger's seat. They were all in Saeka's SUV heading to the school dance. Shikamaru had been dragged along by Naruto for some reason or another. Everybody had a feeling they were going to set the Hyuuga up with Shikamaru. The cold hearted Hyuuga not Hinata. Shino sat in the back seat with a friend of Saeka's from a different school, Sai. Sai was just weird; why Saeka was friends with him none of them knew. Saeka pulled into the school parking lot and parked the car, "Alright all munchkins out of the car."

Saeka pulled the keys out and slammed her door shut. She really didn't want to go to this dance, but Naruto didn't have a ride. Iruka and Kakashi were on a date so it fell on Saeka's shoulders. To her being a senior sucked, she had to chauffer the juniors around. Hinata took her hand and Saeka's mood and suspicion of Sasuke flew from her mind. Naruto laughed and ran up to Tsunade their principle who was checking IDs at the door. She smiled at them all and Shizune stepped aside to allow them entrance. Naruto started straight for the dance floor and they lost him among the other students. Shino shook his head and just followed Kiba. Shikamaru immediately plopped into a chair and popped it back onto two legs. Saeka kicked the legs out from underneath him and watched him tumble over backwards.

"We didn't bring ya here so you could sleep lazy ass."

Hinata giggled and was then dragged off into the throng of students. She was pulled against Saeka for a slow song that started. Rascal Flatts' What Hurts the Most. Saeka spotted Naruto over in a corner talking to Kiba and Shino about their plan to get the older Hyuuga and Lazy Ass Nara together. Finally they just decided to be blunt and went over to Hyuuga. Kiba threw Neji over his shoulder and started carrying him to Shikamaru. Saeka pointed to them for Hinata and they watched the whole scenario. Kiba dropped Neji in Shikamaru's lap and glared at them.

"Either get together or we will have a slight problem."

Neji was completely flustered about this, he was also blushing. He jumped up off Shikamaru's lap, but Naruto caught him. Naruto looked Neji in the eyes and then smiled. He pulled Neji into a corner away from the others and pinned him there.

"Alright spill Hyuuga, why are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid," his voice was flat and cold.

"Your voice may lie but your eyes can't. You're afraid of what might happen if you get into a relationship with Shika, that's it isn't it?"

Neji looked like a fish out of water at that moment. He had been feeling something, but he didn't want anything to happen. He was afraid of what his uncle might say about this for his uncle didn't even know about Hinata. He had been debating with himself over the past few months about his orientation and he was getting no where.

"Will you at least give it a try?" Naruto asked and there was no hidden meaning behind his voice only sadness.

Neji nodded in agreement and Naruto led him back to the table and he sat down beside Shikamaru. Kiba and Shino were already off with Saeka and Hinata, who had bonded rather quickly with Kiba and Shino. They had already teamed up together numerous times to prank Saeka. Naruto looked around for any sign of Sasuke, instead he found the Uchiha at a table surrounded by fangirls, who were by the looks of it trying to comfort him. Uchiha looked right at him, his eyebrow had been cut, his left eye was black and blue and his lip was cut. You could tell that he tried to cover things up with makeup and Naruto could see the mark of what appeared to be a handprint on his arm. That was no ordinary fighting injury, Naruto knew those type of injuries personally. Naruto ran over to Saeka immediately to let her know. Saeka stopped dancing at the concerned look on his face and she looked down at him.

"What Naruto?"

"Sasuke….I know what he's hiding," Naruto couldn't spit it out though, "Just come with me," he grabbed his 'sister's arm and pulled her over to Sasuke's table.

Saeka gasped and pushed the fangirls aside to get to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at her and then looked away. She grabbed his chin and made him look at her, abuse was the only thing that popped into Saeka's mind along with the horrible memories that the one word brought. Unfortunately Saeka couldn't get any words out of Sasuke as the rest of the jocks walked over. Sakon growled at Saeka, "What's a slut like you doing over here talking to our Sasuke?"

The fangirls had Naruto surrounded. Neji and Shikamaru knew this wasn't good as they headed over to the group from their table. Kidomaru grabbed Saeka by the front of her shirt and tossed her to Shikamaru who caught her with ease. That one moved shocked the jocks, their resolve was diminishing. Ukon laughed, "You want a fight? You got one. Out. Now."

Kiba and Shino followed with a few extra people to help them. Choji was a little slower catching up to them than the rest though. Saeka stood outside in the empty side of the parking lot with Hinata behind her where Saeka was keeping her. They could all still hear the music inside and Naruto almost broke down laughing at the song playing. Frontline by Pillar described this just now. Neji stood firmly beside Shikamaru and was getting glares by all the jocks that thought he turned traitor on them. Jirobo rushed Choji who locked hands with him in a battle of strength.

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death

Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet

I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down

You and I will be the ones that are holding the crown in the end.

Ino and Sakura rushed Saeka and Hinata. Sakon and Ukon were immediately engaged in a battle with Kiba and Shino. Shikamaru had Tayuya while Neji fought Kidomaru. Naruto immediately laid eyes on Kimimaro. Sasuke stood away from the group in shock. Why were Saeka and Naruto doing this?

When it's over, we can say, "Well done"

But not yet, 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones
To fight this thing, until we've won
We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Saeka kicked Sakura in the ribs and threw the girl over her head. Sakura was down for the count and now it was the problem of Ino. Hinata quickly dispatched Ino just by a quick kick to the head and down for the count was the blonde. Naruto back flipped away from Kimimaro and almost slammed into Kiba. The two went back to back and ducked when their opponents charged them. Sakon and Kimimaro slammed head first into each other and fell to the ground unconscious.

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Sakura got back up and jumped on Saeka's back. Saeka flipped Sakura over her head once again and pressed a knife that had been hidden in the heel of her boot against Sakura's throat. She drew a bit of blood and Sakura immediately started crying and saying she didn't want to die. Hinata was rushed by Ino who had risen from unconsciousness and wanted to get back at the smaller girl. Hinata kicked the girl in the chest and punched her in the face breaking her nose. Hinata pinned Ino underneath her by pressed her boot against Ino's throat, thankfully her's didn't have a knife in it.

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry
We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

Sasuke stood against the portable classrooms in shock. It seemed like Naruto and his friends were fighting for him. The thought only made him want to run more, this fight was getting out of hand. Choji threw Jirobo to the ground and watched as Jirobo got up again to face him once more. Choji threw a punch at the senior's face and watched as he went down with birdies twittering around his head.

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Kimimaro got up and attacked Naruto with a knife he had hidden in his jean leg. Ukon was hit on the back of the neck from Shino and was quickly out on the pavement rather hard actually. Neji ducked one of Kidomaru's punches and kicked the senior in the chest, it didn't do anything. Neji had fought against Kidomaru before but this Kidomaru in front of him was different than before. Sasuke closed his eyes to stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks, he wanted the fighting to stop.

We live our lives on the frontline

We're not afraid of the fast times

We live our lives on the frontline

We're not afraid of the fast times
We've got to lead the way

We've got to lead the way

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Sasuke opened his eyes and let the tears roll, he couldn't stop them. Neji punched Kidomaru in the face and still nothing would bring down this senior. Only one thing would, Neji kicked him in the groin and said an apology as the senior went down singing soprano. Naruto ducked under Kimimaro and did the same thing Neji did and the last senior went down clutching his goods.

Everybody with your fists raised high

Stand aside of the frontline

Everybody with your fists raised high

Let me hear your battle cry

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Sasuke glared at Naruto, "Why?"

Saeka walked over to him and made him walk around the portable classroom so all the jocks and preps could be found by the teachers without them there. Kiba took off his shirt and gave it to Saeka so she could wipe a cut on her cheek. she then tied it around a cut on Sasuke's leg that had been reopened. Naruto sat on the railing that led to the door to the classroom while all the others sat down on the ground. Choji sat next to Shikamaru while Neji was on the other side. Choji pulled a HoHo out of his pocket and began to eat while Shikamaru just shook his head. Saeka brushed the make-up off Sasuke's face and realized there were more bruises than what they thought. Some looked old while the others were new.

"Sasuke are you okay at home, our is Itachi beating you?"

Everyone grew silent at her words. Naruto looked down at the ground, that territory was well known to Saeka and him. Saeka kneeled in front of Sasuke and placed her hands on his knees, he flinched at her touch. Shikamaru's eyes widened at that sudden movement and looked up at Naruto.

"All you have to do is say yes and we will save you."

"….why do you care?"

"Not exactly the answer I was going for," Saeka sighed, "Me and Naruto have gone through the same thing you are going through now."

Naruto walked over and held out his hand to Sasuke, "All you have to do is say yes."

Sasuke looked up at Naruto then at everyone around them. Everyone of them had been there when he first entered school and were now standing there with open arms. Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo walked around the corner, they had apparently been looking for Sasuke.

"Oi let the boss' brother go!"

Naruto looked sharply at Sasuke with his hand still out waiting for Sasuke to grab it. Sasuke looked to Itachi's assistants who were standing there waiting for him to come so he could be beat by them instead. When he looked at Naruto's group all he saw was a rainbow lining as Naruto would put it. He grabbed Naruto's hand, "Yes."
