Ok It's been a reeeeeaaaal long time since I have updated. Sorry! -hides for fear of being strangled-

Now to where we left off.

"Well there goes my plan" Naruto stated after giving a sigh. Neji just smirked and started walking off. Naruto saw this, remembering what he had talked about with Sasuke at lunch he asked the boy to video games at the house.

LINELINELINE--------------------

Neji agreed to Naruto's invitation. It had been a while since the two boys got to hang out. On the walk home Naruto talked non-stop about ramen and school, and just random things all around.

At Naruto's house

The blonde had made some money from working at the old ramen stand before it upgraded. And it helped that he was friends with Sasuke Uchiha, the richest kid in town. So Naruto had moved out of his old apartment and into a house which was fully paid off. Neji entered after him and slipped off his shoes. It was a nice house. The hall way was a tan color with a place for shoes and bags. Naruto lead the pale-eyed boy into the living room that also acted as his den and entertainment room. The walls were orange. Very Naruto-ish. He had grown out of his 'always orange' phase, but still held the color close. The couch was a black leather 'L' seat with orange spread pillows. He opened the wooden cabinet to a large tv with a game system under it.

In the middle of a serious game of fighting robots Naruto brought up the conversation of the party.

"So Neji." He jerked his controller upwards as he aimed for the white robot on screen. "I hear ole Sasuke is teaching you how to dance." It's a good thing Naruto was so concentrated on the game, or else he would have seen Neji blushing. His white eyes followed the orange opponet on the tv as he took aim.

"Yea, Hinata probable black mailed him or something. She's so different now. I think she's going out with Kiba." The blonde didn't seemed surprised as he disappeared from Neji's sight on his half of the screen. Instead he just laughed at the thought of Hinata black mailing someone.

"Like Hinata-chan knows how to black mail. And the whole Kiba thing doesn't surprise me. You being in a different class then us never see how much they hang out." Neji agreed with a "hn." and shot at Naruto's mech as it came into his view. The orange machine was smoking as Neji cheered but he wasn't finished. The orange object came at his white one as it threw a bomb and left. It missed, barely. Now Neji's mech was smoking too. This means war!!

"How do you think Sasuke is holding out?" Naruto questioned while trying to distract the brunette so he could attack.

"He's probably trying to beat the living day lights out of him."

"Ha. That would be a sight." Naruto's orange mech spiraled to the virtual ground. "No way man! That's the first time I lost. Good job though, your better than Sasuke." Neji grinned at the complement.

With Sasuke and Itachi

Sasuke had to give the older Uchiha directions from his shoulder for trying to run again. They now neared the big house. Sasuke may have left the Uchiha mansion, but that doesn't mean its not a BIG house. And now dubbed the Uchiha Compound where the party will be held in three days.

"Ok, see my house. Will you put me down now. I have no reason to run anymore." Sasuke huffed. Itachi complied and placed his brother on the ground.

"Now, where will I sleep?"

"How long are you staying, Itachi?"

"Oh, a couple years maybe."

"What!?!"

"I'm just kidding little brother. A few days. That's all I promise. I won't even be here for your little party."

"How do you know about that?"

"Well all the young ladies in the town kept asking if I would be there."

"Tell the truth."

"Fine, your no fun." Itachi pointed to a large banner that must have been hung by his fan girls, even though he told them he was gay they thought that he would fall for them and change back, the banner read 'Uchiha Party on Saturday!'

"Well gee, without their help I would have never know that." Sasuke gave up and lead Itachi to a room, he was going to have to go see Naruto about this one.

LINELINELINELINE-----------------------

Naruto and Neji were in a heated competition when Sasuke walked in. He stared blankly at the back of Neji's head. Profanities were exchanged between the two as they shot at each other. Wow didn't think Neji had this much emotion.

"Yo." Came the cool voice of the raven haired Uchiha. Neji turned wide eye and Sasuke smirked.

"Ahahaha! I win in your face Neji! I finally won!"

"That's not fair! He distracted me!" Neji pointed and accusing finger at said boy.

"Wow, you've been beating Naruto at video games?" Sasuke had never won against Naruto in the many year that the blonde made him play.

"To bad little Ji-chan! I won!" Ji-chan? Sasuke thought, I guess That's ok, Neruto gives everyone nicknames, some better than others he remembered the one the dobe had given him.

"I want a rematch!"

"No!"

"But I've been giving you rematches after you lose every time!"

"Its only fair Naruto, if he has beaten you that many times he should get a right to defend his reputation."

"Awww! Shut up Teme-bastard!" Told you it was worse then Neji's. Neji cracked, teme-bastard. That was funny! He laughed lightly to himself, earning a glare from said bastard.

"Come on Sasuke play! See if you can do any better!" The blonde handed him a controller and he sat in the middle as he chose his navy mech. They played for the longest time. It seemed like forever before Neji said "I have to go. It was great hanging out again. Sasuke I guess I'll see you tomorrow for the dance lesson. Naruto waved a good bye and he and Sasuke walked back inside.

"Soo! Sasuke!"

"Don't start Naruto."

"Whatever Teme!" The teasing continued for a while as they played a few more rounds and Sasuke also had to leave.

"Tomorrow, you have to tell me about everything that happens!" Knowing Naruto, he would be tracked down tomorrow if he tried to avoid the blonde.

"G night Dobe."

"Night Teme!"
