SASUKE-CHAN!
By a fine stroke non Irish obtained luck, we made it off the metro with out any other collasal incidents. Naruto still had no clue that this was the Hyugga estate and his party was being thrown here. So we walked up, side by side.
"So, where are we?"
"Nowhere."
"Ah,"
We stepped on quiet stones that led up to the hulking front doors and gingerly advanced onto the stoop. Hinata came out in a white babydoll and jeans before we could knock and blushed.
"HINATA?" Naruto gaped.
"H-hello, Naruto-kun..." she directed a rather frightened gaze at me, "Hello...U-Uchiha-kun." I nodded. She timidy asked us to come in and we followed her through darkness. "Where are we going, Hinata-chan? Are you a vampire?" He asked in a mock tone. "Uhm, ha, no." She must have went behind us, eerily, because we heard the unneccarilly huge doors shut.
"Hinata, what is going-"
"SURPRISE!" In the next few moments, lights proceded to flick back on, revealing people who were once behind chairs and sofas, now were shooting confetti and streamers. Hinata, although she previously told that this WAS going to happen, she still was shocked and lept into Naruto's arms. She blushed as a heard of boys raced towards us. "I-I'm...so sorry!" She yelped, jumping out of the warmth I know so well. My upper lip twitched. He grinned and said pervertedly he didn't mind at all.
...Hyugga...
"Naruto!" Kiba roared, arms extended, "Its been forever!"
"Kiba!" Naruto yelled, "No, it hasn't!" and they shared an embrace to which the blonde maverick took out a hanger from behind his back ((don't ask me where it came from)) and proceded to whack Kiba's balls. And not the rubber ones, nither. "Ah, hey! Ouch, cut that out, man! Ha. "
"Is this party for me?" He asked stupidly. Everyone nodded.
Neji, came in between Kiba and Naruto. "That's enough. Those who want to play DDR, stay inside. Water ballons are in the thousands out by the field. We've got pleanty of land. But NO GIRLS NEXT DOOR. "
"Y'got food?" A random voice asked. Neji nodded saying there was gonna be BBQ of corn, beef and pork. And with that, the crowd charged outside. Ok with me. Few loners and people who seemed to be very good, as they played on heavy, stayed inside and did DDR.
"I'll meet you outside." Naruto nodded and raced out. Neji looked at me and then the kids who began to play the DDR. They were much too into dancing to even notice us. He looked back.
"Why have this party, Neji?" I asked dangerously."You don't even like Naruto, I doubt you'd give a damn if he even died."
He stared for a moment more and took a breath. "I work very hard to obtain the goals that are on my list, Uchiha. I'm practically a slave to my ambitions." He paused and then looked up."But it seems to pay off, because I always win." I smirked. "I'm on the list?"
"The very top."
"Well," I said unemotionally, "Prepare to lose." He flashed my a determined grin that nearly sent me shivers up my spine. Whats with this guy? "My goals did always play hard to get."
Only of it all. With that I left him and Hinata got me a large plad blanket from inside a nearby closet and a couple glass jars from the hearty kitchen cupboard. "What's this for?"
She fumbled handing over the contraban. "Just...er..take it."I nodded slowly and headed out th screen door to find Naruto.
"I.." Hinata whispered to herselfas I left. "Will give up on Naruto-kun."
It was hard to see over the blankets. I found him sitting alone, staring airly at nothing in particular. It was a grassy hilltop, overlooking boys and dogs rolling down the steep plains. Few feverishly scratching their itches from the green blades. He helped me unfold the blanket and I set the jars beside me as we sat down.
I sighed. How relaxing. Tomorrow I might not even get a prostitute. We talked of things. Matters of no importance but...still, it seemed worth something. "Oh look." Naruto whispered from beside me, he tapped my knees as I reclined into the puffy bluegrass imported from the west. I opened one eye to a cluster of fireflys. His blue eyes sparkled as he gazed at them, longingly. I turned my head to the jars, how did she know?
Rolling my eyes as he leaned out on his knees, dying to touch one and get a feel of some magic. I Grabbed a jar, feeling cold in my hand, I handed himone as well.
"What's this?" He asked quizically.
"Glass."
"No, I mean, what is the-" I pointed at the flying, miniature lightbulbs. He wheeled his head at me, eyes filled with enough excitement one might believe it was Christmas. "Really?" I nodded and scooped an unsuspecting insect, that was mearly hovering in the air. "It's easy." Naruto grinned.
Vaguely, a few people laughed and shook their heads at Naruto's adolecent heart. Kiba took Akamaru to his chest and proceded to roll horizontally down a sloping hill. I looked back at the boy who had stood up in attempt to try and manage to make atleast one firefly captive. There...is a word I think...for him...I can't find it yet. Whenever he's near me, I've been having these goddamn feelings. What is it? I looked at him, happily, yet irritatedly, raising an arm in attempt to get the damn bugs. Never giving up.
The fabric of my shirt felt smooth as I grabbed the place where my heart should be. This...was the same feeling I had when I rescued him. Is...it love? They do say, love is in the heart. I rubbed a hand through my hair...no, no ridiculous! Stupid. I'm...I'll never...fall in love. Sighing, I decided it was settled. I wasn't and never will be in love. The bright sun slowly decended on the hill and soon became nothing in comparison to the fireflys. Except...maybe Naruto's eyes. Yes, I decided, they were way more lit up than the two powerful forces of light.
I leaned over and snatched another bug in midair. He never looked back once. Running from place to place, he ran swarming the insects with fierce, intense passion.
"Dobe, you'll scare them." He payed no heed, as an incoming purple balloon smacked his head, soaking his shirt. "Dammit...Shikamaru." He cursed. Shika shrugged and continued fighting the battle ofliquified fun.I turned around to look at him. Scooping another one in the container, effortlessly, I stood and walked towards him with silent footsteps, that rivaled even Dracula's hovering.
I wentbehind him andwrapped my arms around his torso. One hand grabbing the hand that he was futilessly attempting to capture some bugs with. "Stupid," I told him as he tensed up. "You can't swing at them blidnly. You'll be at it all day."
"What..are you doing?"
"Shut up and listen to me...what you've got to do, " I told him nonchalantly gripping his hand, "is swing only when you've got them off gaurd and in range. But.Very.Quickly." I pushed him forward with my groin, cooly. "Let's go..but slowly doofus." His body was so warm, I felt like snuggeling but decided against it. Humping wouldn't be best either.
"I thought you said-" He whimpered, taking cautious steps. "I said to 'move quickly at capture'" Tightening my grip, Naruto sucked in his breath as one flew towards him and stopped in his face. Directing the entranced hand we scooped it up with out getting the blonde's noseand capped it. He dropped to his knees dramatically and held it close.
"I think you can do the rest on your on." He smiled. "YATTA!" and thus he proceded to get more fireflys, until he collapsed next to me on the blanket. It was like a mother closely watching the innocence of her kids. He held it close to his heart, saying he'd never done ths before.
A voice rang out through the green, well-cared for acres. "Time fo cake!" A couple people chuckled. Water balloons popped and people climbed back up the hills. Chouji, who was sword fighting using an eaten corn on the cob with Lee, dropped his onto the grassand headed towards the house.
"Naruto," I said lazily, "Lets go." He smiled gallently, gathering the containers that were full of carefully obtained fireflys. We stood,and Ifolded the sheet and we went to the house. Naruto looked at me and began chattering away, humming to the clinking of the jars. I didn't hear him though, because my damn heart...had that feeling again.

Me/Elliot: So? I mean, the things to look forward to are so awesome if you think about it! Pumpkin shakes at Jack in the Box and other sweet foods such as almonds and peacans made into delicious desserts. The crunching of newly fallen red, yellow and orange leaves under your Chuck Taylors.
