Sasuke returned to the Hyuuga house without Lee. Someone, somewhere in the village was going to find a nude Lee passed out somewhere, and it wasn't going to be pleasant, for Lee or the person that found him.
Sasuke almost felt sorry for Lee. He was going to have to deal with that when he woke up with a killer hangover. But most of all, he felt sorry for the person who was going to find him.
He looked around for Neji. Maybe the Hyuuga could locate his teammate. But one glance at the normally stoic boy told him that Lee was on his own.
Neji was on his hands and knees, crawling away from Naruto, laughing his ass off. Sasuke went over to him and pulled him to his feet. He could smell the vodka.
"I thought you weren't drinking." Sasuke stated simply. Neji smiled dumbly.
"I wasn't, but he opened his big mouth!" Neji pointed at Naruto, who was once again struggling to his feet. "He's your problem now!" Neji pushed away from the Uchiha and stumbled off, looking for amusement of some sort.
"Hi Sasuke!" Naruto said brightly as Sasuke stood in front of him with crossed arms. "Neji finally loosened up!" He proclaimed this proudly, as if he had won some kind of victory. "He made a face like a goldfish, and then he laughed! Can you believe it? I didn't think Neji could laugh!" Naruto gave up on his efforts to stand up and slumped back on the floor.
Sasuke left Naruto there. He didn't look like he was going anywhere. He looked around for Neji again, finding him sitting on the couch with a girl he didn't know. She looked familiar, but he was sure he had never seen her before.
"It's Shikamaru."
Sasuke turned to look at Shino, who was standing a few feet away and had followed his gaze. "Ino, Sakura and Tenten got a hold of him."
Sasuke looked back at the girl, still unsure. It was Shikamaru alright.
A shout came from the kitchen, and Sasuke rushed in there. Choji and Kiba were fighting over a bag of chips.
"Back off, pig boy!! You've eaten every other bag already!!!" Kiba shouted.
"I'm hungry!" Choji stated simply. Sasuke let out an aggravated sigh and snatched the bag out of both their reach and shooed them into the living room so he could keep an eye on them as well.
"Wooh!!! Go Neji!!!!" Ino shouted loudly the moment Sasuke returned to the crowded room. His eyes searched for the drunken Hyuuga, finding him draped over the dressed-in-drag Nara, sticking his tongue down his throat.
"Fuck it!" Sasuke closed his eyes and banged his head on the wall. He could have definitely lived without seeing that.
"Hey, get a bedroom!!!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke's eyes shot to him. How the hell was he managing to stand, let alone walk?
Neji complied, pulling Shikamaru to his feet. Their lips stayed pressed firmly together as they stumbled down away from the party.
"I'll take that!" Sasuke snapped, snatching the bottle out of Naruto's hand, causing said blonde to pout. "But Sasuke…"
Sasuke slipped the bottle into his own pocket. Naruto lunged at him, clawing desperately at the pocket.
Sasuke stepped aside and let Naruto fall to the floor. Stupid, drunken idiot!!!! And he still had to take care of everyone else. Neji was doing who-knows-what to Shikamaru, Ino had just found the whip cream and was covering Choji with it, Hinata seemed to have had enough to drink to come out of her little bubble of shyness because she was dancing enthusiastically with Kiba, who was falling down occasionally. Shino was just standing around watching everything, Sakura and Tenten were throwing globs of ice cream at everyone and Naruto- Naruto was nowhere in sight. Crap.
"Where the hell did he go?" Sasuke said out loud, looking around frantically.
Shino was smirking. "He said something about the roof."
Sasuke's eyes widened, and he was outside in a flash. Naruto was on the roof. And he had finally succeeded in getting rid of his clothes. He was howling at the moon.
