A bit short but they get longer soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Naruto's mind finally made up its mind as Sasuke leaned closer… he was not in high school anymore.

His body moved automatically based on the position they were in. His knee lifted swiftly to ram into Sasuke's groin, and as soon as Sasuke's arms loosened he stepped back only to deliver a swift front kick to Sasuke's chin.

Needless to say Sasuke ended up sprawled on the school floor.

Sasuke couldn't comprehend what had just happened. One minute he thought he was going to finally get a taste of those luscious lips and the next, he was in pain! What the hell!

Half the room had stopped dancing to see what the commotion was about.

"You bastard! Don't ever touch me!" With that said Naruto swiftly straightened his shirt before turning around and walking away.

Sasuke was still in a daze.It took all his willpower to not curl up in a pathetic ball. And to top it off it he didn't even know why this pain had been inflicted! The man certainly couldn't be one of his past sexual ventures. There's no way he would have forgotten a face like that! Those eyes had been piercing.

"So, what did you do?" came the amused question.

"Shut up Hyuuga," growled Sasuke while standing, "and for your information I didn't do anything."

"Of course you didn't," snorted Neji, "I bet you made some vague sexual comment and the boy just had no intention of having a sexual relationship with you."

"Hm,"

Sasuke noticed for the first time that Subaku was standing closely, very closely, to Neji while starring in the direction his friend had run off.

"I'll be back." It was said so quietly that Sasuke almost didn't catch it. However, he did catch the motion of Gaara slowly releasing a strand of Neji's hair and sending him a lustful glance before turning to follow his friend.

Neji gazed after him just as lustfully. "You know, if I had known he was like this in high school I would have gone after him years ago…" pondered Neji out loud.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this. "Weren't you asexual back then? You refused to even kiss anyone until you got into college."

"True," purred Neji, "But I didn't realize what I was missing." With that Neji turned to face Sasuke. "Let's go somewhere a little more discreet and fix you up. I guarantee you're gonna bruise."

Just as Neji grabbed him to help him stand the music that had been pulsing throughout the room cut off completely.

"Attention everyone,"

Sasuke slowly lifted himself from the floor before turning to look at the DJ's stand. It was still in pain, but it had faded to a dull throb.

Standing where the DJ had once been was one Inuzuka Kiba with a mischievous grin. He had taken over the mike so he could speak to everyone. As soon as his eyes locked with Sasuke's, Sasuke knew something bad was coming.

"For those of you who don't remember me, or just don't recognize me, I am Inuzuka Kiba! And I am here for one reason and one reason only!"

Sasuke didn't like where this speech was going.

"Uchiha you and your friends better get your asses on the soccer field or I'm officially declaring our high school rivalry a forfeit on your behalf." Kiba was grinning wickedly as he pulled a soccer ball out from under the DJ table.

Sasuke frowned, this was stupid. He hadn't played soccer in ten years. Not to mention he was having some issues right then and there. He couldn't help but press his finger to his forehead in frustration. "Can't this wait mutt?" Kiba had always reminded him of a dog because of his teeth.

"Until when? Our twenty-fifth reunion? I don't think so Uchiha!" Kiba was still grinning.

"Sorry, Kiba," interrupted Neji, "But Shino is not here to be our goalie, nor is Lee present for your team; therefore, we can't have our usual three on three match."

"Oh, I've thought about that," chuckled Kiba as he stepped down from the DJ's table to come within regular speaking range. "That's why my friend is going to replace Lee, and as for your team… I thought maybe Gaara?"

Neji raised an eyebrow at this, "Gaara plays soccer?"

Kiba smirked, "Correction, Gaara plays Goalie."

It was somewhat true. One summer when Naruto and Kiba had been playing one on one together- with Gaara present- Kiba had gone to score on Naruto, but Gaara caught his ball at the last second. What had frustrated Kiba was he hadn't even been on the field. Gaara had simply waltzed onto the field just to stop his ball so he could give it to Naruto!

"Hm, I don't remember agreeing to this," came a low voice. Everyone turned to see Gaara standing there as emotionless as ever with his arms crossed. However, as he spoke he looked only at Neji.

"Oh, come one Gaara," laughed Kiba somewhat uneasily, "the sooner I get an official declaration for the winner of our old rivalry, the sooner you can go back to chasing the Hyuuga."

Gaara simply switched his lust-filled gaze from Neji to glare at Kiba.

"Naru is going to play…," Kiba trailed off hopefully.

Almost immediatly Gaara relaxed his face again. After a moment he shrugged.

"All right, let's do this!" Kiba shouted while punching the air.

"Shut up dog-breath," growled Sasuke, "In case you haven't realized, we are all wearing formal clothes."

"Like I care!" snorted Kiba, "Mine's just a dress shirt, and you and Hyuuga have enough money to buy a thousand new suites."

This was true, not that Sasuke would admit to it.

"Who's Naru?" asked Neji curious as to why Gaara had submitted so easily to the name.

"Oh, that's Naruto. Uzumaki Naru- ...um but you probably don't remember him… hehe," Kiba finished uneasily when he realized just who he was talking to. Naruto was going to kill him!

Sasuke frowned at the mention of his name, but it quickly turned to a smirk. "If you plan on having that pathetic waste of space play, you might as well forfeit now."

Kiba looked at Sasuke, then to Gaara to see how he'd react. Gaara could be rather protective of his 'brother'. Upon seeing Gaara starring off to the side, he quickly looked that way as well. Once he saw who Gaara was starring at, he quickly backed away from the Uchiha.

"What the hell did you just say, teme?" snarled a voice furiously.

Sasuke heard Gaara chuckle evilly in the background before turning to face the very blonde he had danced with before. He couldn't help the sudden feeling of lust as his eyes trailed the blonde's body, but this came to a grating end when two angry azure eyes stopped inches from his face.

"Who are you to call me a waste of space you bastard!" snarled Naruto. Upon hearing Sasuke say what he had, threw all his previous mental training out the window.

Sasuke, quickly understanding the blonde's words, stood in complete shock. Not that he showed it on the outside. There was no way this was Naruto. Quick to defend his pride, Sasuke responded smoothly. "Hn, as if you could be that ursurtonkachi," scoffed Sasuke.

"Hm," Naruto smirked as he regained his composure, "I assure you, I am the very same. The boy who purposefully did worse then you on exams so you'd leave me alone. Or the boy who got the crap beat out of him if he still did better than you. We are one and the same."

By now they had begun to cause a very big scene.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. The dobe was attacking his pride. He was making it sound as if Sasuke were the stupid one! And he was doing it in front of a crowd! Not to mention something about the crowd was unsettling. Almost as if they knew something he didn't. God dammit all!

"Hmmm, let's get this over with," growled Sasuke. He wanted to quickly get out of this room before a crowd started coming over.

Naruto couldn't help but smile. He was good at sports, and now he'd get some revenge.

"Oh, it's on teme."

Kiba, who'd been watching the whole thing started hollering like crazy. "Let the game of our lives begin!"

Naruto laughed at his friend's antics before following to help set up the field.

Oh, yes, this was going to be an interesting game.
