Aaron immediately stormed up to the group, only to realize with a shock the whole of the Akatsuki were beating up Deidara and Leslie.

"What the f**k is going on!" Aaron roared, his voice echoing off the gym walls.

"Just in time. Deidara didn't like our game." Pain said.

"He didn't want us to play with this girl." Kisame said. "We're showing him what happens when you don't do what we w-"

Aaron immediately lifted his leg until it was diagonal, then brought it down on Kisame's head.

"Get the hell out." Aaron said.

"You're betraying us, too? For a girl who hated you and one friend, as opposed to all of us?" Pain asked. "You'd risk your life for these two?"

"Yeah." Aaron said as Naruto, clad in an orange suit, and Neji, wearing a business suit, walked up to his sides. "We all will."

Pain nodded. "Kill them!"

Immediately, Tobi launched forward, fist aimed at Aaron's face. Aaron deflected it, then, as he spun around and kicked Tobi in the face, cracking his mask, shouted "Counterattack!"

"How many times did you see Scott Pilgrim?" Pain taunted.

"You got the references? That's a first." Aaron said, surprised no one got his 'combo attack!' veiled references once in the school year. Then, he raised his fists, the veins appearing around his eyes, and said "Ass-kicking time, guys. I'll take Pain."

"I'll take as many as I can get my hands on!" Naruto smiled.

"I will, too." Neji said.

"Good. When will the cops show?" Aaron asked.

"Who knows?" Naruto shrugged.

"Hope it isn't too soon. I gotta think of an excuse." Aaron said, then ran at Pain. Immediately, he went for an easy fifteen-hit attack, but Pain blocked it all, then kicked him away. Aaron smashed into the wall, cracks appearing in the cinderblocks.

"Aaron!" Hinata shouted.

"I'm fine," Aaron said, pushing himself away from the wall. He tossed his jacket off, cracked his neck, then ran at Pain again. Once more, he was launched, this time smashing into a speaker. He knocked it over, but still got up again.

"You're throwing your most powerful moves at me, but you still can't win!" Pain shouted. "Just give up!"

"I don't give up!" Aaron shouted, then ran at Pain. He moved like he was going to hit Pain, then brought his knee up into his groin. While bending down, Aaron grabbed his hair and brought his knee up into his face twice, then tossed him aside.

"Run!" Zetsu shouted, trying to get Konan to stand up, but she refused to go without Pain. Itachi tried picking Pain up, only for Naruto to knock him out. Eventually, they all ran away, and the whole school cheered for the three. Aaron sat on the bleachers, taking deep breaths, and Hinata walked over to him.

"Aaron, are you... Oh my god!" Hinata exclaimed. A long trickle of blood ran down Aaron's head, from where he had cracked his head open.

"I don't feel too good." Aaron said, then collapsed. Finally, the cops arrived with an ambulance. They took Aaron away, with Hinata coming with him, holding his hand the whole way.

In the morning, Aaron moaned.

"Wake up in the morning feelin' like crap, like I've been pimp-slapped..." Aaron muttered, then opened his eyes to see Hinata, still looking beautiful. 'Kissed my cousin and I regret it, really wish she'd forget it.'

"Hey." Hinata said, then, seeing Aaron's expression said, "I'm creepy, aren't I? I-I kissed you, a-and..." Hinata looked down, and Aaron heard her sniff. Aaron sat up, although his head was still reeling, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey," Aaron said, "chill. Let's take it one step at a time. Have you been here all night?"

"Yeah." Hinata sniffed.

"Well," Aaron said, lifting Hinata's head. "You deserve this." Then, Aaron kissed Hinata. Hinata wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling Aaron closer as the kiss heated up. Hinata was slightly embarrassed, as 1. Aaron was a much better kisser than her and 2. He was in a hospital, and might have brain damage, which was why he was kissing her. In truth, neither of the two bothered Aaron.

Finally, the kiss was broke, with Hinata's eyes half-lidded.

"I-I d-don't think I deserved that from staying the night with you." Hinata said, forcing herself to stop stuttering when she realized she was.

"Then you can pay me back the extra," Aaron said. "How would you feel about a date?"

"I'd love it." Hinata said.

Then, a black-and-blue Deidara walked in, holding Leslie's hand.
