Disclaimer: Naruto and it's characters are not my property and I do not own them. They are the property of the great Kishimoto Masashi-sensei. Neither do I own the idea of putting Naruto characters in highschool. The following characters are mine: Masaki, Momoku, Ijimeru, and the Hyuuga estates servants. DOT.
Pairings: These are the following pairings this fiction will ABSOLUTELY contain: NejiSasu, ItaNeji, SasuIno, InoKiba and ZabuHaku. The ones that are thought: GaaSasu, NaruHina, KakaIru, ShikaTema, ShikaHaku and LeeSaku. As for the one-sided: SasuSaku, Orochimaru practically perving over everyone and NejiTema.
Neji: My God, the finns have found as.
Haku: Well, you can except much of them… they won the Eurovision, right?
Sasuke: And they've come in last place for like million times before that.
Itachi: I guess monsters work…
Bite: HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH!
Neji: NO MORE OF THAT SONG!
Sasuke: IT RINGS IN THE EARS ALREADY!
Bite: Fine, fine ya bitches… I'm a little bored of it too.. WELL! To the chapter summary then, right? Guys and Haku, you do the honnors.
Haku: I'm going to kil you while you sleep, dear. But alright! This chapter will contain some ME! So it will DEFINITELY rock the party!
Sasuke: Party? Oh, yes, there's a party coming. Kimimaro's aging, so he throws a party. And what else would my brother do BUT…
Itachi: Invite Neji of course! And I don't think he likes the idea that much…
Neji: And while I'm sure I won't go, a twist of events and a misunderstanding changes it all…
Sasuke: We have arts here too. Meet Yamato, the arts teacher!
Haku: I surely didn't see that coming…
Sasuke: …sure you didn't. Is that enough, Bite?
Bite: Surely it is Saskey! Now we will see what the chapter has to offer! We will be having some cheerleaders mentioned, and one of my favorites bands; The Rasmus will have an appointment in Nejis cd-player!
Shikamaru sighed sadly. "Troublesome…"
He just stood there, in the middle of the hall, staring to nowhere in particular. Almost everybody just stared at him like he was crazy, although someone said "man, I wish I knew what he's been smoking" but that's not important. The important thing is, that Shika-dude looked like he was sleeping with his eyes open and standing.
"Troublesome…" Shikamaru mumbled.
And then he sighed again.

Hyuuga Neji, in the other hand, was doing something quite the opposite. He was actually smiling, not looking like a sign of a tornado coming at your way and yelling; "I SHALL KILL YOU ALL WITH MY ANGST TO THE WORLD AND HATE FOR THE UCHIHAS!" But no, NOW, he was practically dancing through the hallways, humming to the sound of the music in his years.
Neji was on the top of the world right now! He did not just have an A from the English test, nor did he just show the Uchiha twerp his place, but he'd been out of the town for the whole weekend! Hiashi had put him, Hanabi and Hinata in the car, saying that they had to come. And they drove all the way to Sunaga, a neighbor city. Hiashi had some business there to took care of, and he thought that the kids would like to go shopping. So, he gave them a 500 bucks each and said "buy things with rational sense". Hanabi of course hadn't listened, and bought almost everything she saw. Neji had to rip something from her hands, before she believed it wasn't in the cart with rational sense, nor would her money be enough to buy it. Although Neji himself had really dozed off when he saw this really cool bike… Hate to admit it, but Neji had always wanted a motorcycle, ever since he was a little kid. He didn't really know why… he didn't even know much about bikes, nor about anything else that moved on wheels (except the piano, it had wheels).
But, Neji had bought as much pencils as he could find. They would always ran out when it came to a test of some sort, so he piled them up to this big cardboard box under his bed. If anyone would find it, they would surely be surprised. Oh, except Hoppy. He would just say "very careful of you, young master", and stole some to himself. Neji didn't know why, but Hoppy just LOOOOVED pencils.
Oh, and he bought some clothes too. Neji bought a pair of boots for the winter to come, and a couple of jeans and sweaters. And a new jacket, the old one had just been ripped up by the Kimimaros gang elite idiots Sakon and Ukon. Neji did try a cap on… but it was just freaky looking, so he took a woolly hat instead. Yup, that's our Hyuugas way of thinking. (well, it would be useful in the winter, would it not?)
And then he hit the music store and almost couldn't stop. There was so many CD's out there that he couldn't pick. So, he almost took them all. But Hinata mumbled something (it sounded like she was talking about the prizes) that got Neji turn his heels one more time. He bought just five of them.
Yup. JUST five.
"It feels like the first time
to stand here in outside
together regardless
we walk through the darkness…"
Neji hummed along the song. He was pretty proud about this new one he had found. What was it again? Oh yeah, The Rasmus… weird name, but he liked the singers kinda dry and harsh voice, and they had some good lyrics and catchy melodies. It was on sale, so Neji got interested… he thought he had heard the name before, and the song In the Shadows sounded familiar too.
But enough about Neji. Now he has to get to his locker.
"Goooood morning!" Neji greeted Sasuke with a grin, as he twirled to his locker. "Whatcha doooin'?"
Sasuke just stared. He blinked a couple of times, before narrowing his eyes. "What have YOU been doing? You sound weird, Hyuuga", he mumbled and slammed his locker shut, trying to lock the thing again. "That airheaded smile suits you well, as you're one, but please take it off, or you will find your smile in the trash can", Sasuke told him, smiled sweetly and left.
Neji blinked. "What's with him..?" he thought, before realizing that Sasuke was always like that. He started to open his locker, but the damn thing wasn't opening… yet, AGAIN! "Stupid piece of cheap shit…" he grumbled, doing the code again.
4…11… 6… 10…
Nothing happened.
…4… 11… 6… 10…
….
"FUCK DAMMIT!" Neji swore and kicked the locker.
"You forgot to do zero first", said a voice behind him. Neji flinched a bit from the surprise, when someone took a passage under his armpit and twirled the code, then slamming the door a little… and like magic, the door flew open. "There you go."
Neji blinked a couple of times. "Uh… well…" he mumbled, turning. "Thanks, I gu -. OH, it's YOU", Nejis voice got colder with a degree or two, when he saw Uchiha Itachis grinning face.
"What? Just trying to help, as I have to keep my reputation up!" Itachi answered, getting Neji to grumble something that sounded like "figures", or something like that. "Hey, I just opened your locker, where's my thanks?" Itachi asked, his lower lip pouting.
Neji stared at him. He was. He was REALLY trying not to think about the lower lip. He REALLY WAS! Neji shook his head a little and turned back to his locker. "Well thanks…" he mumbled into the locker and got his geometry book out. "Well, it was surely nice seeing every Uchiha in this school within the same morn -", Neji started.
"Not yet", Itachi sighed. "Huh?" Neji blinked. "Oh, there it comes. Watch out", Itachi answered, as something big and black haired got him to a neck hold. "GOOD MORNING COUSIN!" the big and black haired almost… what am I saying, it DID shout into Itachis year.
Neji blinked again. 'Oh right. That… Shisui, was it?' he thought.
"Man, Itachi, what're you doin' with him?" Shisui whined, looking at Neji with a disgusted look on his face. "Leave the faggot alone, 'kay?"
Itachi rolled his eyes. Good old Shisui… so polite! "Fine, let's go…" he mumbled. When Shisui turned his back on him, Itachi gave him THE finger with the most pure pleasure. 'You fucking idiot! It was MY CHANCE! He could've started to like me even!' he cursed and looked at Neji, who banged the door shut. '…he hates me…'
Neji started walking to the other way, because they had writing next. But then he stopped, as he saw Shikamaru who was sighing and standing in peoples way. He blinked (man his eyes were gonna be sore after all the blinking…). 'What's with HIM then?' he wondered. He walked behind Shika and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, Shika-dude, what's the matter?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
Shikamaru turned to look at him and sighed. "…the fall…" he mumbled. Neji couldn't help but blink. "…the fall?" he asked, getting Shikamaru to nod. Neji frowned. "Okay… I'll say it straight; I don't understand what the hell you're talking about",
Shikamaru sighed. "It's just that… school is troublesome already… but you know, when it gets to fall semester… everything's going to an even troublesome way…" he explained.
The bell rang for the first time. Neji rolled his eyes. "Explain on the way. You have writing too, right?"
"Even if it's troublesome… but arts would've been even more troublesome…" Shikamaru answered, so they started the journey. "You see… when fall semester comes, there will be tests…" the Nara explained, giving a mighty sigh again. "And when there are tests, there will be more reading, more homework… Geez, and when it's fall there will be the first football games, you know?"
Neji frowned. "And… what does that have to do with you?"
"Haku is a sports MANIAC. JUST because the good old Momochi is a friggin brick wall, he's in the football team. Haku began to love the game as soon as he loved his "little" Zabi", Shikamaru said, rolling his eyes then. "Not that that's the only reason… but you'll have to see it, else you won't believe me…" he mumbled.
Neji sneered. "Whatever. I agree with you; fall is depressing", he said.
"HEY HO!" Haku squealed, as he jumped on Shika's back. "Good morning y'all! How's it hanging, Shiki-kun, Ne-chan?"
Neji stared. "…Ne… chan?" he hissed.
"Yeah! Isn't it cute?" Haku asked, a sweet smile on his face. "Yeah… really cute…" Shikamaru grinned, shaking Haku off his back.
"Okay, little fairymonster, you have to go downstairs, don't you?"
"I do! Art class, art class!" Haku yippeed and jumped down the stairs in his 'love-the-world-and-it-loves-me-back' -mode.
Neji and Shika instead took upstairs in their 'we're-sure-happy-that-we-got-away-from-him-for-a-second-but-we-ain't-showing-it-by-hopping-around-like-a-drunken-bunny' -mode. Yeah, you heard me!
The art and writing classes where hold from freshmen to the seniors, but they had groups from A to G, so they kept it with those groups. If they had to do all the A to G's at once, they would have a hundred pupils per teacher. Dude, not going to happen. So, as Neji was in group C of sophomore year (in his previous school, he had been in C class too, and he had asked to be in C class at Konoha High too), they had writing with Shikamaru on Tuesday mornings.
Neji had find out in horror that the Uchiha junior was too in C, but as there was an option of taking extra math classes, he had gotten Sasuke away from his back… the little nerdy Uchiha wanted some shining, didn't he? Well good for him. In writing, Neji could really relax.
Itachi was in B class, so haha.
"I didn't want to sign up for writing really…" Shikamaru said and sighed again. "It's too much work… but they had art as the second choice…" he mumbled.
Neji raised an eyebrow. "But that's lesser work… I guess?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Shino would KILL, if he had heard that… you know, he's a sucker for drawing and everything…" he mumbled. "But in art, they always say "why don't you do it this way or that way", like we have no choice… and I don't like the exercises they do… troublesome…"
Neji rolled his eyes. Shikamaru was that kind of a type. Art was just too creative for him. Shikamaru liked it logic and clear, dot.
"Hey, why didn't you take the math class?"
"Mom said I don't need it, so I shouldn't take it…"
"Oh…"
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
"I didn't want to sign up for arts really", Naruto mumbled, while he tried to (failing miserably) do a sketch of a fox. "But NO! They happen to have the WRITING and MATH class with it! Like I want more MATH! And as you do KNOW, they don't call me short of words for nothing!"
Chouji was listening, he really was… trying. But Narutos last words were just too hard to swallow. 'Short of words… yeah right', Chouji thought, as he was doing a fruit bowl. 'Mmm… fruits… I could eat eight bananas right now…' As always, Choujis stomach was saying he hadn't had enough breakfast, not even after the ten pancakes her mother had done to him.
"I suck at each and every one of them! It's not FAIR! And why did Gaara have to choose the stupid writing class? Not that I don't enjoy you're company…" Naruto told to Chouji, and Shino, who was sitting next to Chouji.
"I think that he has something to say…" Shino said.
Naruto blinked. "Huh?"
"Gaara, I was talking about him", Shino said, sighing. "You DO talk a lot… Sasuke wasn't wrong…"
"HUH? Sasuke-teme is talking shit about me again, isn't he! Man, I could kick his nerdy ass! I mean, WHO goes to EXTRA math class with his own decision! I've heard that those are really hard classes!" Naruto said, leaning back in his chair. "Man I feel sorry for Kiba… they MADE him to go there…"
"Well, he did got an F from the test Genma had with us…" Chouji mumbled. "I got an F too, but Iruka didn't make me go there!" Naruto said and grinned. "Guess I have a good luck, don't I? OH! Shino, that's so cool, I LOVE IT! What is it?" Naruto asked, his eyes gleaming.
Shino looked at Naruto. "…you."
Silence.
"…me?" Naruto asked and blinked. "That doesn't even look like me! What's that all about?" he whined.
"I'm drawing you in artistic sense. It's what I see in you", Shino said in monotone. "Why am I a camp fire..?" Naruto wondered. "I said that the camp fire is just a part of -. No, never mind", Shino mumbled and got back to his drawing.
"Why didn't Temari come here… I thought she didn't like writing..?" Haku whined and fake cried. "Miss her so much…" he sniffed. "Don't worry, you still have Kanky and me!" Tenten smiled. "You know, there is Kankuro who is Temaris sibling, and me, a girl, so if you combine us in a weird way, you get Temari… but as a brunette!" she thought, tapping her desk with her pencil.
"That's sick…" Kankuro mumbled, illustrating something abstract. "Tem's ideology just gives me chills. She had already decided on math, but then she got to the principals office and asked if she could turn her table… she had a weird gleaming in her eye when she said that she had changed it…" he explained, stopping his drawing for a second. 'Why am I getting the feeling she's male hunting again..?'
"Uzumaki, WHAT is that?"
Naruto blinked a couple of times, before announcing: "A FOX, sir."
Yamato sighed at his beloved idiotic art student, taking the pencil out of Narutos hand. "Let me show you something… now, add a little more roundness to the ears and lighten
the eyes. Also, try getting the two other feet to the other side, will ya?" he asked, scribbling on Narutos paper.
"Hey! Stop doing scribbles in my paper!" Naruto whined. "But it's my job, Naruto-kun", Yamato smiled.
"But it's cruel!"
"Someone isn't getting it, yeah?" Deidara mumbled, doing very… Well, something that wasn't understandable to the paper. He didn't even like drawing so much… play-dough was much more fun…
"C-mon Dei. The fact that he's an idiot doesn't mean that he's a total screw-up in art", Sasori told him and scratched his silvery-blond hair. He didn't really like drawing either. "But that sunglasses guy sure is doing awesome job", he said, getting Deidara to nod. "Yeah, I could get interested in him, I could…"
"You aren't really a pencil artist, you know?" Sasori said chuckling. "I could still learn…" Deidara grumbled.
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
"And that creepy guy from the basketball just CAME TO SHINO and said it would be "nice to bump into each other in the hall"! Can you BELIEVE that? CAUSE YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!" Naruto explained and whistled again. "I mean man, that guys a popular guy you know!"
Neji looked at Naruto. "Wait… creepy guy from basketball? You mean that bastard who knocked Masaki down?" he asked.
Naruto scratched his head. "Umm… well… OH YEAH! It WAS him!"
Neji snorted. "Ugh, I hoped I wouldn't need to even remember him outside the P.E! Damn it!"
Haku sighed. "P.E… shit, it really is September already? In two weeks, the timetable will turn and EVERYFRIGGINBODY has to do P.E until CHRISTMAS!" he whined. "I don't wanna I don't wanna…" he whimpered.
"Oh c-mon, Haku, be a woman!" Tenten said, getting a death glare but not noticing it. She had come to the table a week ago, saying that she had done something that had pissed off Kin, so they heaved her out for a while. But she said that her 'brilliant plan of world domination' could continue next year, maybe. "But speaking of popularity…" Tenten continued. "What are the feelings for the upcoming football season, hu?" she asked, winking her eye. "I surely do know someone, who's in DEEP TOUCH with a player!"
"Oh stop it Ten, you're making me shame…" Haku said dramatically, then balling his hands into fists. "But when the stupid Iwakure players come an inch closer to Zabi, THEY WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM!" Haku announced and looked at Zabuza with puppy eyes. "Right, Zabi?"
Zabuza sighed. "They won't know what hit 'em…" he mumbled and looked at Kankuro. "Oh, I'm not sure if you heard, but Itachi's back at the team again."
"WHAT!" Kankuro shouted, but calmed down when Gaara punched him in the arm. "But… but I thought he got it settled just two weeks ago! He got to the couch and everything -!" he said with a little nervousness in his voice. "How on earth did he go there again?"
Zabuza shrugged. "Don't really know the details, but I DID ask him… He just said that there was a little grumble in his family about it, that's all…" he told and snorted. "Damn that father of his… making him play, I swear he is…"
Kankuro groaned. "Of course! Itachi is just too nice for his dad, why don't the old fart just suck it up that Itachi isn't build for the game!" he whined and mumbled something very ugly.
"Hey, hey, what's with this thing that Uchiha can't play?" Naruto asked, blinking.
"He got really hurt in some game, I guess he has some kind of a trauma…" Neji explained, getting Kankuro to sneer. "Like hell he has! He hasn't been traumatized, I HAVE!" he said. "That bone sticking from his knee wasn't pretty you know?"
Neji waved his hand. "Yeah, I understand, wasn't there, can't know…"
"You bet you don't know… Fuck, NOW I'm getting worried…" Kankuro cursed.
Tenten sighed, but smiled then. "Well, to crazier news! Hey girls, aren't you two going to try cheerleading?"
Sakura almost choke to her milk. "Ch-cheerleading? Are they taking freshmen too?" she asked in awe, as Hinata was blushing again. "Yeah, they losed quite a bunch last year, when the seniors graduated! They're taking in 5 freshmen! Right, Haku-chan?" Tenten asked and Haku nodded. "Oh yes, 5! It's just a scratch from the tens of girls, but show business is cruel", Haku answered and smiled. "You should really try it out girls!"
Hinata blushed again. "I-I-I don't k-know…" she mumbled quietly.
Sakura thought of it for a second. "Well… it sounds really challenging… And good! Haruno Sakura; Konoha High's prettiest cheerleader ever!"
Kiba sneered. "Hey, don't get all cocky. Even if there was a slight chance that you got in, pink, there are plenty of girls there, most of them reeeeeaally pretty!" he pointed out grinning.
"YOU SAY I'M UGLY!" Sakura roared, getting Kiba snatched from his collar. "Say it to my face, dogshit!" she raged, Kiba sighed. "No helping at all, is there..?" he mumbled. "But I guess you could try, right, Naruto?"
"YEAH! Sakura-chan, you would be a perfect cheerleader!" Naruto cheered himself, his eyes gleaming a little. Hinata sighed, twirling his fingers. "Oh! Hinata-chan too, you two would look really pretty in those outfits and everything!" Naruto continued, getting Hinata to blush even deeper. "T-thank you Naruto-kun…" she mumbled.
Neji wasn't blind, may he look like it or not. 'Oh my my my… Hinata seems to have a little love…' After thinking that, Neji shook his head. 'Neji, you've spent too much time with Haku. You seriously have.'
"Picture them, going all…" Naruto mumbled and took a ketchup and mustard bottle in his hands, starting to wave them. "Let's go FOXES!"
Haku rolled his eyes. "Cheerleaders do more than that, Naruto…"
"Of course they do, but I'm no cheerleader!" Naruto uttered and grinned. "Well, Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan, how about it?"
Hinata was red. "I-I don't really know how to…" she whispered. "Aw c-mon, it's just cheering and jumping around, you'll handle it!" Kiba said, getting Haku to look very pissed off. "Didn't you even listen? Cheerleaders do more than -."
"I surely want to try it! Ino-pig and Ami the Bitch are most likely going too!" Sakura said with confidence. "It would be great to get a bone in their throats!" she nodded to herself, getting Haku to give up. "Hinata, c-mon, we'll go together, right?"
"U-um…" Hinata mumbled, twirling his fingers. "I-I'm not really sure about that -."
"Aw c-mon Hinata, you'd be fine", Neji said. "You have a sense of rythem, you honestly do", he told. "I mean it can't be that hard. Just doing those kicks and twirls and the pompoms…"
"Oh, by the way, where's Shika-dude?" Naruto wondered getting Tenten, Zabuza and Kankuro let a relieved sigh. Haku looked like he was going to burst, but smiled then and answered Naruto's question. "Don't really know… he said he wasn't hungry… I guess he's on the roof to keep company to the clouds!" Haku grinned.
"When it comes to Shikamaru, that's very possible", Neji agreed.
"Hey Tenten, when are the cheerleading… auditions?" Sakura asked, thinking hard on the last word, because Haku didn't seem too happy-go-lucky. "They're at next Saturday, be ready for that", Tenten grinned. "Are you even IN the cheerleaders?" Neji asked sharply. "No, but I gossip. Gossip much", Tenten answered, grinning evilly.

"Kommst du mit mir zu eine Fete?"
Neji snapped his head up and stared at Itachi, who was grinning wildly. "Aber du musst nicht mir zur Fete mitkommen…" he continued.
Neji blinked a couple of times and shook his head. "Um… well.. I don't think that was in the text book…" he mumbled behind his German book.
Itachi smiled. "I know it wasn't", he answered and looked around himself. No one was paying attention to them. "So, let's say it in English then… Would you come to party with me? But you don't have to come with me", Itachi winked.
Neji kept his eyes on his German book. "What party?" he mumbled.
"Oh, it's a birthday party", Itachi explained and had a smug expression on his face. "Kimimaro is turning old… you see?" he added, chuckling evilly.
Neji snorted. "And why should I go to a birthday party of a complete stranger?" he asked sarcastically, reading the text book. "Aw, c-mon. It's a HIGH SCHOOL party! Everybody's going, even those who aren't invited!" Itachi said and sighed. "Besides, Temari said I should invite you, don't know why, though…" he mumbled and smiled sweetly then. "But I HAVE to go, got to polish my great armor of popularity, right? So, it would be fun to see "the new kid" around too", Itachi uttered.
Neji shot a glare at him. "When is that going to stop?" he growled. Itachi leaned back in his chair. "When they get something new to remember you by." "It wasn't enough that I almost spat on Ibiki's face, got nearly molested by Orochimaru, showed your lil' baby brother the place where he should stand AND did some "up yours" to the popular idiots. MAN! Your school IS a way more tighter place to be excepted in!"
Itachi gave a laugh, then raised his eyebrows. "Well, I'm still waiting for the answer. I could give you and a few pals f yours a death ride to the Kaguya Cabin", he offered with a smile. "What do you say, it could be fun, right?" Itachi asked, winking to Neji.
Neji felt his cheeks hotter, so he put the book in front of his face again. "I… I'll think about it", he grumbled behind the book.
And the bell rang a second after that. Asuma was yelling the homework, as Itachi smiled a victory smile. "The day's Friday", he told and marked the homework.
Neji snorted. "Just don't except that I'll be there…"
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
"OF COURSE WE'LL GO!"
Neji glared at Haku. "Who said anything about you, he asked me!" he said. Then he remembered that he didn't give a shit about the goddamn party.
"Awww, c-mon Neji, let your hair down!" Haku whined, getting another glare. "It's a saying Neji! What I'm trying to say is; what harm could it end up with?" he continued, following Nejis way outside.
"Haku, think about it!" Neji told him in annoyed way. "It's that Kimimaro guys birthday party! And like you haven't noticed, those Kimimaros minions hate me!" he said. "It would be a total disaster if I got there! And why do you even want to go? They don't love you either, may I say…"
"That IS why I want to go!" Haku grinned. "And don't think it so negatively! Neji, get a hold of your brain; it's a HIGH SCHOOL PARTY! Nobody will even know you're in there!" Haku said the cosmic truth. Neji blinked. "What do you mean "won't even know I'm in there"?" he asked.
He knew it was a mistake, as he saw Haku staring at him as if he was an alien. "NEJI MY LOVE! Haven't you been in parties? HIGH SCHOOL parties! They are full of people! A high school party is build with four words; big house, smuggled alcohol, loud music and A FRIGGIN HUGE MASS OF PEOPLE!" Haku explained with pathos and sighed. "Gosh, you did live in the middle of nowhere, didn't you?" he mumbled.
"Oh shut up…" Neji mumbled back, but he had to admit; Haku was right. Not in the "middle of nowhere", but that he hadn't been a party animal, if you could say… He was that silent, studying type of a guy… well, he still was…
"But may I say… it's weird…"
Neji turned to Haku, who was looking very thoughtful. "What is?" Neji asked. Haku looked at Neji and snorted. " 'What is'? The weird thing is that Itachi seems really interested in you, in some weird, dirty way!" he answered, getting Neji to glare at him again. "Everything doesn't have to be dirty, you know..?" Neji mumbled.
Haku was about to answer something very clever, but instead of it Haku spat out: "WHAT THE FUCK? OOOOWWW!" and held the back of his head. Neji blinked. "What got into you..?" he said in a bored way. "Some idiot threw a STONE at me!" Haku yelled.
Neji and Haku both turned around, as they heard loud laughter behind them. Who else could it be but the lovely idiot pack. Now in the formation of Shisui, Deidara, Kidoumaru, Dosu and Zaku.
"What the fu -?" Neji started, then grind his teeth together. "What's with you people! GET A LIFE!" he shouted at them.
"You should get a BOYFRIEND! You seem rather cranky, Hyuuga!" Zaku answered, getting the baboon bunch to cheer.
"You speak of what your missing!" Haku shouted right back, stopping the cheering. "You guys should get a grip of yourself! FIND A MAN! OR A WOMAN! OR A FRIGGIN PINEAPPLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"
Neji looked at Haku with extreme confusion. "…pineapple?" "It felt like the right thing to say", Haku answered, the continuing; "YOU HEARD ME! YOU PINEAPPLE LOVING FUCKERS!"
Neji knew that Hakus protest wasn't working, as the baboons were sort of… giggling. Yeah, at least Deidara was…Man it was disturbing Neji… the others were just laughing but… Yeah, Deidara was GIGGLING. Neji shook his head and tried to concentrate. He grabbed Haku by the boys arm. "C-mon Haku… I have to get home within this day you know?" he mumbled.
"I'M NOT DONE YET!" Haku said, shaking his fists at the baboons. "BANANA EATERS! NUT BRAINS! YOU -! You -! Well I CAN'T FIGURE ANYTHING ELSE UP! I'LL COME BACK TO YOU LATER!" he announced, as Neji was pulling him away from them.
"Awwww, c-mon Hyuuga! We could have some fun together!" Shisui pleaded mockingly, and everybody awwwed when Neji gave them the finger. "Itachi was right… he DOES have an iron bar shoved in his ass…" Shisui told the others who laughed.
Haku didn't like the fact that they had stopped. Haku didn't like it at all. "Neji…" Haku hissed between gritted teeth.
Neji turned slowly. "He said WHAT?" he asked in a so polite way that it got Haku goose bumps.
Shisui frowned. Then he grinned. "He said that you are so uptight in everything that you could have an iron bar shoved in your ass!" he repeated. "And I must say that my cousin is a wise man, because now that I've seen what I have… I must admit that you should have tattoo on your forehead that would say 'Gentlemen, please don't bother, I already have something in my ass'!" Shisui announced, getting every baboon to bend from laughter.
Neji closed his eyes, as he got something from the ground. "Is that so..?" he wondered. Haku saw the danger coming. "NEJI, DON'T BE STUP -!"
Too late. Something hit Shisui before he knew it. It had a round shape, grayish color and it was really hard. And it made Shisuis head say 'bonk'. Yap, a rock it was. Straight to Shisuis forehead.
The baboon bunch was deadly silent. Slowly, Shisui began to lean a bit too much back and he fell to the ground with a loud thud. "OH FUCK! SHISUI!" Kidoumaru shouted and started to shake life in to the Uchiha.
"Neji…" Haku whispered. "…what?" Neji asked. "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Haku screamed from the bottom of his lungs and ran away. Neji blinked, looked at the Shisui Gang, which was starting to get angry, and decided to take a hike. And fast.
"What's with you! Are you just STUPID?" Haku shouted at Neji. "What, he deserved it! I didn't have Itachi around and he looked enough like him!" Neji answered angrily. "Oh SHUT UP! You need anger management, you hear me? ANGER MANAGEMENT!" Haku screamed from the bottom of his lungs.
Suddenly, Neji stopped. And Haku stopped. Haku started panting for breath, as Neji looked around. "They… they didn't follow us?" Neji asked amazed. "Why didn't they -?"
"BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CAR!" Haku yelled and turned Nejis head back. And as true as Nejis eyes saw, there was a car coming right at them.
"MAN I HAVE A SHITTY LUCK!" Neji cursed, grabbed Hakus arm and started to run for his life. "Neji, it's a CAR! WE CAN'T BEAT A CAR!" Haku shouted. Neji knew that. He knew that very well. But was he going to stay to be beaten to a pulp? HELL NO!
'It's all the damn Uchihas fault again! Without his stupid cousin, I wouldn't have hit his stupid cousin with that FUCKING STONE!' As always, Neji was finding the joy of 'blame it on the Uchihas' from everything.
But Nejis attitude was interrupted, as something black and red curved right in front of them. Haku squealed. "ONE OF THEM!" he panicked as always. Neji couldn't but stare. That was a motorbike. A black and red leathered figure sat on it with a helmet on it's head. The engine was starting to roar, as the baboon bunches car drove closer. "GET IN!" the figure shouted.
Neji pushed Haku in the sidecar. "Neji, what're you doing, we don't know -!" "SHUT UP, WE'RE GETTING A RIDE!" Neji answered to Haku and squished Hakus head inside another helmet, that had been waiting behind drivers seat. Neji himself seated himself behind the driver. "C-MON, DRIVE!"
The driver laughed. "Okay, but I say you should hold tight. This is my first time driving with two extra people!"
Neji grabbed the sides of the driver, as the engine roared and the bike speeded away like a bullet, and Haku screamed like he was being eaten.
Kidoumaru stopped his car. "What the fuck was that?" he cursed, as he saw the bike speeding out of sight.
"Wasn't… wasn't that a chick driving it?" Dosu asked quietly, getting Zaku to nod slowly. "Cool…" Zaku mumbled in an amazed way.

"I seriously wouldn't have ever thought that you were a bike person…" Neji mumbled astonished. Haku was sipping his can coke happily. He was happy about the fact that he was alive.
"Yeah, I know. Nobody really understands. This is one of those things that the girls in my class started to reject me a little…" a girlish voice said, as it was tanking the bike. "But as I got in Konoha High with my BRAINS, not my parents money… We don't live very close, so they invented the idea of a motorbike."
"It fits you perfectly, Sakura!" Haku announced, getting Sakura to giggle. "I know! I look hot on it, don't I?" she asked proudly. "STEAMING!" Haku answered with pathos.
Neji sighed and threw his Battery can into the trash bin. "That bike is good-looking, may I say. How many horse powers?"
Sakura looked like a big question mark. "Huh?" she asked.
Neji sighed. 'Remember, she's a girl."
"Just kidding Neji! I don't know how many horse powers it has, but this guys has been loyal to me! I know everything about his engine!" Sakura said grinning. "His?" Neji asked. "Yeah, his name is Tiger."
Neji blinked a couple of times. Konohaton really has some weird people…
"Sakura-chan! Are you going to Kimimaros party?" Haku asked interestedly. "Kimimaros? Gah… I don't think I can, we have a Biology test right on Monday…" Sakura whined and sighed heavily. "You guys are going, I suppose?"
"Hell -." "YES! Right, Ne-chan?" Haku winked, getting Neji to roll his eyes. "For the last time Haku; I - DO NOT - WANT TO GO!" he uttered and sneered. "Just the fact that the stupid Uchiha senior asked me, doesn't mean that I'm -!"
"WHAT? ITACHI-SAN INVITED YOU!" Sakura gaped at Neji her mouth open. "WOW! That's amazing! If Itachi-san invited ME, I would definitely go!" she moaned. "But this is school work, you know! And I HATE Biology! I'll have to get my grades good, or else I will be done for, you know?"
Haku and Neji just mumbled something. Then, Neji spotted something just at the corner of the gas station. "A BUS! Haku, c-mon, we're getting on it that we can get home!" he ordered and dragged Haku with him. "Ow, ow! OKAY!" Haku answered, winking to Sakura. "If I were you, I would ask for Lee to help you! He's really good at Biology!" he yelled at her.
As they got on the bus, Neji stared at Haku. "Lee's not good at Biology…" he said, getting a little suspicious. "Could it be that you're playing a matchmaker, Haku?" Neji wondered.
Haku made face at him. "Me? NOOOO…" he just answered and grinned. "But Lee has to do a make-up-test at Monday, so it would help the both of them…"
Neji chuckled. "I see what you mean… Oh, I got an idea. You could come to my place, if you want to. Hanabi is at her pals at least for 6, and Hinata has a long day… and dear old Uncle disappeared from town for a week", he suggested. Haku just stared at him. Then, he made a squeal. "OHMIGOSH! OF COURSE! But I have to call Zabi-kun before that…" he said excitedly and took a pink cell phone out of his pocket. Neji made a face because of the bright color, and wasn't so sure anymore about his friends sex.
"O… ohgay?" Neji answered and grinned to Hakus glare. "But before we get to my place, I need to do something…"

Itachi tapped his desk with his pencil. Anyone would knew he was thinking, it was obvious. But it wasn't math or anything like that, math and every other subject was easy on Itachi… but doing an essay about a stupid book he didn't even like…well.. could you say Itachi wasn't all genius when it came to that.
Then, the doorbell rang it's melodic ringtone. Itachi had always hated it… "SASUKE! SASUKE, GET THE DOOR!" Itachi shouted over his shoulder.
The bell rang again.
And again.
And again and again…
Itachi got up from his chair and cursed. "SASUKE! GOD DAMMIT!" he yelled and stomped in the hallway. He blasted Sasukes door open, just to find his little brother on his own bed, eyes closed and headphones on his ears.
"SASUKE!" Itachi shouted, as the bell rang again and again. No reaction at all. Itachi grabbed the phones and ripped them off from his brothers ears. "UCHIHA SASUKE!"
Sasuke did react fast to that. "What the fu -! Itachi, give me my phones back! I'm listening to that!"
The doorbell rang again and Itachi rolled his eyes. "Oh for the love of… Fine, I'll deal with you later squirt! STAY!" Itachi commanded and left the room. He ran the stairs down, cursing to the annoying sound of doorbell. "Alright alright alright… HOLD ON FOR A FRIGGIN SECOND!" Itachi yelled, being really glad that their house was quite soundproof. Itachi twisted the doorknob and opened. "Yes, how can I help -?"
But before Itachi could finish his sentence, he was hit hard on the face.
"WHO HAS AN IRON BAR SHOVED UP IN HIS ASS?"
Itachi blinked a couple of times. He sat up, holding his jaw and stared. "O… okay? Hyuuga, what's with the punch?"
"YOU KNOW VERY WELL!" Neji shouted and gritted his teeth. "Yeah, of course you're all friendly when I'm around, sprinkling your fairy dust of happiness all around you, but to your idiotic cousin you just say THAT I HAVE AN IRON BAR IN MY ASS!" he roared.
"Yeah Neji, show him his place!"
Itachi stared at Haku. "What are YOU doing here?"
"Nuthin' much, Neji invited me for a dinner", Haku smiled. Neji glared at him. "I said nothing about dinner", Neji mumbled. "Well, but I did…"
Itachi shook his head and stood up. "Okay… HOLD ON! If this is your way of saying you don't want to come to the party, then don't!" he said to Neji, who turned his glare right back at him. "OH! You would like THAT, wouldn't you?" "Whaa..? What did I say no -?" "WELL SORRY FOR YOU UCHIHA, BUT I'M COMING!"
Haku seemed really hurt. "But you said to me -!" he began. "Shut up Haku, this has nothing to do with you!" Neji spat from his mouth. "Well, excuse ME…" Haku mumbled, rolling his eyes.
Itachi scratched his neck. "Wait… are we talking about Shisui here..?" Itachi asked slowly. He just wanted to go back to do his homework already… this was hurting his head more than one hundred Sasukes whining together. "What did my dear cousin do now..?" he asked tiredly. Like he needed Shisuis dumb ass behavior to ruin his day totally…
"He threw me with a rock!" Haku whined. "He hit right in the back of my had! Who knows if I turned STRAIGHT because of it?" he almost cried. "Oh man… he did?" Itachi asked worriedly. "THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT!" Neji shouted. "He said that you said I had an IRON BAR shoved up in my ass! AN IRON BAR, Uchiha!"
Itachi blinked. "Iron bar eh..? Err… I have a hard time recalling that…" he mumbled, scratching his head. "Oh man… I guess he misheard again, didn't he?" Itachi thought.
"WHAT? MISHEARD? C-mon, you got to be kidding! To think that I would believe tha -!" Neji began, but Itachi laughed. "Yeah, it must be it! They were talking about you when I came to the lunch table! I was cursing Kurenai, because she gave us this idiotic essay assignment! I said something like "That blackhaired bitch, she has an iron bar shoved up in her ass!" I guess they were too caught up in gossiping about you, that they thought I was talking about you… and you know, you have a black hair too, right?"
Neji just stared. It seemed to Haku that he had turned into stone. Haku grinned evilly. He must be really embarrassed now, hmm?
Neji blushed a bit. "O-oh? Ah… sorry, but Shisui really thought that you were talking about me… and… and… I kinda threw a stone back at him… And it kinda hit his head and…" he said, very embarrassed indeed. Itachi laughed. "It's okay, we didn't lose much there!" he said and rubbed his cheek. "But you hit really hard you know? Good that I didn't loose a tooth!"
"AH! Sorry about that too, I… Oh man…" Neji mumbled and sighed. "How can I make it up to you? Because it could leave a mark…" he asked.
Itachi grinned. "Oh, I could ask anything, couldn't I?"
"Well… I guess, I DID hit you…" Neji answered.
"NO NEJI! DON'T! You don't understand that you're dealing with Uchiha Itachi, the perv of the pervs!" Haku yelled in shock. "Oh shut it", Itachi grumbled and winked to Neji. "Well, I guess I'll pick you and Haku to the party right?" he asked. "What! I didn't say -!" Neji started, but Itachi grinned evilly. "But you just said that you would come!" Itachi laughed and waved to the both. "Bye, see you tomorrow!"
And so, the door shut in front of their faces.
Haku looked at Neji, smiling evilly. "Sooooo, feel a little embarrassed now, don't you, hu?"
"SHUT UP! WHY WON'T YOU SHUT - UP!" Neji answered, getting Haku to giggle.
"Neji, quiet down, were in GOOD neighborhood!" "Oh shut it…"
Itachi smiled, as he watched the two leave for the Hyuuga estate. He touched his cheek again and chuckled. You could call that a spicy kiss, couldn't you? he thought evilly and danced upstairs and to Sasukes room. "Little brother, I have decided not to punish you!" he said happily.
Sasuke took the headphones off. "Oh, is that so -? WHAT THE HELL -! ITACHI, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?" the younger Uchiha yelled.
Itachi grinned. "I got kissed."
Sasuke stared at him. "…WHAT?" he asked flatly. Sasuke was a very confused young man when he asked that.
"You'll understand when you grow up", Itachi smiled and patted Sasuke on his cheek, and danced away, singing as he went.
"Dancing queeeen, young and sweet only seventeen…"
Sasuke blinked for a whole half a minute, before he asked again. "…WHAT?"
Bite: Now, isn't that a cute ItaNeji blingbling or WHAT?
Itachi: WHEE!
