Kiba stared in shock at what he was looking at. It was Naruto, one of his new buddies, with all the other new kids that ended up being in his (Naruto's) group, and Sasuke, looking like the hottest thing since the sun.

"Yo! Kiba, you there?" Asked a confused blonde as he waved his hand in front of his face.

Kiba quickly came out of his daze and quickly responded, "Yeah man, just a little surprised."

Naruto tilted his head in confusion. "How?"

"Well," Kiba hesitated, "No one has ever come to a party looking like, like, like that." Kiba stuttered at the ending trying to figure out a word for it.

"Yeah, yeah. You gonna let us in or not?" Asked a slightly annoyed Kankuro.

Kiba took a moment for it to process, but then it clicked and he got out the way to let everyone pass.

"Oi, Kiba!" Yelled the boisterous to get Kiba's attention. Kiba nodded to show his acknowledgment before the blonde continued. "You mind if I use your bathroom for a little, I need to finish getting ready."

Kiba nodded in understanding and quickly pointed the blonde in the direction of the bathroom, where Naruto went in with a small bag that went unnoticed by anyone, but instructed Sasuke to stock by Sakura close by so as they won't get lost, and so he won't get mauled.

The bathroom was conveniently located down the hallway right after the main party room. The gang decided to wait there for Naruto and talk.

"So how long is he going to take?" Asked a slightly uncomfortable Sasuke.

Sakura casually leaned on the wall casually beside him. "Five minutes top, one minimum."

"Hn." They all stood there and waited for Naruto to return. People watched them with interest as they each talked to each other. Some girls tried to approach Sasuke, but immediately turned around as soon as they saw Sakura and her death glare. Some girls tried to approach Neji, but were quickly running as soon as they felt Gaara's killing intent, and vice versa. Some even tried to approach Kankuro, but soon regretted it as they were met with a life threatening Temari.

As much as some guys wanted to, they were terrified to approach either Temari or Sakura for fear of either being castrated, skinned, or dead. Some were about to go up to Temari, until they saw Gaara staring right at him. Remembering what happened to Lee, he soon backed away.

What was five minutes seemed a lot longer to the group as they kept fending off guy after guy, girl after girl, before Naruto finally came out. No one in the party really noticed since he was in the hallway, but almost everyone did when he came out the hallway. Sasuke was the most shocked.

"Naruto, why are you so dulled down?" asked an annoyed Sakura with a pout.

"'Dulled down'?" Asked a confused Sasuke as he looked him up and down.

"Yeah, he's usually more noticeable," pitched in Temari.

"How?"

"I don't know, he just usually is."

Naruto lightly blushed and said, "I thought it would have been a little too much, I still think it is." Naruto lightly chuckled and scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment.

"Hey guys." Kiba came up waving to them, "Where's Nar…u. to…?" Kiba trailed off as he saw Naruto and nearly fell over in shock.

Naruto had red and orange streaks through his hair which was spiked out in every direction, but also fell to perfectly frame his face. He put on some light eyeliner and mascara which gave him a foxier look while also heightening his eye color. His teeth were shining a bright white as he smiled, and his natural blush heightened his look.

"Damn Naruto." Kiba took a breath and ran his hand through his hair.

"What? Too much?" Naruto raised his shoulders and started to play with his hands.

Kiba quickly got out of his trance and continued, "No, no. It's just that I never thought that you would be any competition for me. You know, with the girls and all."

"Nah, you don't have any competition." Naruto quickly waved him off and chuckled. 'Right, like I'm that stupid.'

"Come on guys. Let's get on to the party!" Bellowed Kiba as he pumped his fists.

"Sure, sure Kiba." Naruto quickly grabbed Sasuke's hand and lead him into the kitchen for something to drink before actually dancing.

Sasuke on the other hand lightly blushed at the gesture, but quickly followed. As soon as the group came into the kitchen, everyone, except Sasuke, went on to find some canned Sodas. After a little while of searching, and Sasuke standing, Neji was the first to find the sodas, which were hidden in the pantry cabinet.

"Awesome Neji!" Naruto quickly hugged him and helped pass around the sodas.

"You guys don't drink?" Sasuke asked with genuine curiosity.

"Well duh we drink," Kankuro quickly put in. Before Sasuke could think of something else to say, Kankuro beat him to it. "What do you think we're doing now?"

Sakura, Naruto, Temari, and Kankuro started laughing, while Neji and Gaara simply chuckled. Sasuke simply glared in annoyance.

"I meant," pause for emphasis, "Do you guys drink alcohol?"

Everyone paused for a moment. Gaara was surprisingly the first to break the silence.

"No." He said it strictly, lowly, and left no place for argument.

"Why?" was Sasuke's rebuttal.

"Because," Neji started, "Alcohol is not needed."

"We're under aged," added Temari.

"It's dangerous," said Kankuro.

"It's a drug," added Gaara.

"Alcohol can only bring trouble," interjected Sakura.

"And we can't control what we do when we drink it, not to mention that we need to drive home," ended Naruto.

Sasuke simply stood there with his stone face, which then turned into a proud smirk which was accompanied "Hn'," and a nod for understanding.

"You drink?" Asked Neji with a elegantly lifted eyebrow.

Sasuke shifted his gaze at Neji and turned on his emotional gaze, "No."

"Why?" Asked Neji.

"Bad experience," was his simple response.

Naruto sensed the tenseness in the air and quickly said, "Come on guys, let's get back to the party."

Everyone nodded in agreement and filed out the kitchen, Naruto and Sasuke being the last two. But, as soon as they looked into the party crowd, they both froze. They stared at two figures leaning against the wall talking, but the figures quickly sensed their stares, and turned their heads to face them. In their own little world, there was silence, but it was broken when the two figures let out a sadistic grin across their face. That got Naruto and Sasuke to snap out of their daze and run back into the kitchen. They both turned to look at each other and noticed the fear, confusion, anger, and questioning look in each other's eyes.

They both answered each other's silent question simultaneously.

"My ex."
