Previously: Naruto decides to fulfill his promise and go to the party.

--------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------

"Hi Sakuraaaaa-chan! Sorry I'm late!" Naruto bounced into the Uchiha house, happier than he had ever remembered being. He was glad he had the talk with Kakashi. His sensei had put things into perspective for him, and he appreciated that. After all, he didn't really want to avoid them, avoid his friends, avoid the people he loved… He would've missed them too much.

Way too much.

"You're late…" came Sakura's stern reply. "Naruto, I think you've been hanging out with Kakashi-sensei a little too much!" her green eyes glinted teasingly as her face broke out into a huge smile.

The blonde grinned and scratched the back of his head boyishly, relieved that he had changed his mind after all. That smile... It meant she cared, right...?

It meant she really did care...

"Hey Naruto! You're looking great!" Ino greeted Naruto as he entered into the main room. She looked him up and down, and whistled appreciatively under her breath. Boy had he grown up to be a fine specimen of a man! Who would've thought the hyperactive klutz of 8 years back could turn into this, this fine thing! If anyone had told her that he'd end up looking like this back then, she would've punched them before laughing hysterically in their face!

"Eh…?" Naruto looked puzzled as he glanced down at his messy training clothes. Did she say that he looked good? He frowned - was she being sarcastic again?

"Hey hey!" muttered Shikamaru as he suddenly appeared behind the blonde-haired girl, hands on his hips, with an annoyed expression gracing his features.

"Not as good as you though darling…" Ino whispered, so that no one else but the lazy shinobi could hear. Shikamaru flushed a light shade of pink, gave Naruto a nod of acknowledgement, before leaving the girls and the blonde Shinobi to their own devices.

"Help yourself to some drinks ok?" Sakura grinned and pointed towards a table in the far left corner of the room.

Naruto smiled brightly. Things were finally starting to look up.

--------------------------------

"Ugh… This tastes funny!" Naruto grimaced, as he helped himself to a drink from the punch bowl. He scanned his surroundings for a familiar face, before his eyes locked onto a small dark-haired girl. "Hey Hinata!" he shouted, even though she was only standing a few feet away. "How have you been? I haven't seen you in ages…!"

Hinata crept closer, twiddling her thumbs nervously while gazing at the floor. She still looked the same as she did the last time Naruto had seen her, which was only about a year ago... But to Sasuke and Sakura, who had been away for a couple of years, she had definitely changed the most out of them all... She had become taller and more slender, and her hair had grown much longer. At that moment, it hung silkily and loosely around her shoulders. She was much more attractive, gaining a timeless ethereal beauty - losing all the childish features she had possessed only a few years back... But her eyes were still the same, still innocent and naïve... They were the eyes of a pure soul - from the rare type of people that were genuinely good...

The fact that she loved Naruto still remained true till this very day. But the blonde had always found her weird. And that fact hadn't changed either. After all, Naruto was never one to judge other people on looks... And that was the reason why, although much more confident about her looks and the way others perceived her; Hinata was still, and will always be, a nervous wreck around the confident blonde Shinobi...

"H-Hi… N-N-Naruto-kun…" she stuttered. "You… You look g-good…" she glanced at her feet and blushed a bright shade of red. She had never been able to hide her feelings well, and that hadn't changed either…

"Hey does this taste funny to you?" the blonde asked, as he thrust the drink into Hinata's hands, unintentionally ignoring the comment and the deepening blush that was creeping across her face. He shrugged. She was really weird. She even had weird skin problems...

Hinata took a little sip. "It… It t-tastes f-f-fine, N-Naruto-kun…"

"No it doesn't…" Naruto whined and snatched the drink from the dark haired girl's trembling hands. Hinata whimpered, blushed red, and immediately lowered her head down to hide behind her hair. Naruto didn't seem to notice this, as he glared menacingly at the orange coloured beverage... He then sought out his next victim to taste the drink.

Hinata sighed; keeping her head down, hoping no one else had seen her act like an idiot... Why did she always act like a fool in front of him?

----------------------------------------

Kakashi smiled to himself. He had finally done something right! Yaay! Naruto was here and everyone had instantly seemed brighter and happier. That boy didn't know what a huge difference his presence made to everyone! Even Shikamaru had looked more alive… If that was possible…

"My rival! We meet once again! How I hath waited for this day, this moment, this instance… This time I shall prove my superiority… Ha ha ha!" Like all jounins did, the man known as Gai-sensei suddenly appeared from out of nowhere...

"Hmmm did you say something?" Kakashi eyed the man in the green jump suit in front of him, warily.

Gai immediately turned a bright shade of red, clenching his fists in anger, as he muttered curses aimed at the copycat ninja under his breath. Kakashi held back a grin. This man never ceased to amuse him. He was so predictable, so comprehensible... He was so easy to play - so easy to irritate....

And irritating him happened to be one of Kakashi's favourite pastimes.

"So… where's your little buddy?" the silver-haired man asked nonchalantly, trying to sound as bored as possible. After all, he couldn't lose his cool pretence in front of his rival.

"He is here…" Gai immediately grabbed Lee away from a conversation with TenTen, who protested at the interruption. Kakashi raised an eyebrow in curiosity as the smaller boy was suddenly thrust in his face.

"This is your fault!" Gai pointed at Kakashi accusingly, as the silver-haired man kept his expression blank. The mini-Gai impersonator looked bad. He had red blotchy eyes, and tears were still streaming down his face...

Kakashi sighed. What had happened now? He stared at Lee blankly, still keeping his nonchalant posterior. Just what the hell did Lee's tears have anything to do with him?!

"You LET them two get married! And now my Lee is heartbroken!" Gai answered, before Kakashi could even put forward his question. To the silver-haired Shinobi's horror, the thick-eye browed man started to bawl loudly, before embracing his student tightly. The howls coming from the terrible twosome made everyone else go silent.

'I need alcohol' was the copycat ninja's last thought as he headed off towards the refreshments table.

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Naruto was still pursuing people for their opinions on the punch. So far Hinata had said it tasted fine, Shino had ignored him and Shikamaru had said that he was troublesome. Naruto was secretly overjoyed - seeing everyone again had been more fun than he had expected. He liked having people around him, and enjoyed attention more than he would've liked to admit...

He glanced towards the fireplace and saw the familiar silhouette of Neji... Hyuuga Neji - the well-renowned boy of fate! He was smart! He'd be able to tell whether the drink tasted funny or not!

"NEJI!!!" Naruto yelled as he bounced excitedly towards the long haired boy. Neji turned around with an irritated look adorning his features, as if speaking to Naruto was the last thing that he wanted to do... The blonde immediately stopped in his tracks as he realised that the fate-obsessed boy had been talking to none other than Uchiha Sasuke...

Naruto's stomach clenched uncomfortably... Ok… Now wasn't the time to react. Not with so many people about… Act normal, act normal, breathe…

The blonde took a few more uncertain steps towards Neji and the dark-haired boy. Ignore him, ignore him, breathe… He knew he had to act 'normal' - otherwise people would suspect something… He swallowed nervously, before plastering a forced artificial grin upon his features...

Neji looked at the blonde Shinobi impatiently. If he had noticed Naruto's strange behaviour, he didn't reveal it.

"Does this taste funny to you?" the blonde's words rushed out of his mouth in a semi-panic, as he thrust the cup in front of Neji's face. He felt Sasuke's gaze upon him and it unnerved him. Naruto breathed deeply, and desperately tried to regain his senses. He had to ignore it. He had to ignore the rush of conflicting feelings that were rushing through him... He was here for Sakura! Not for him. For Sakura.

The dark haired boy had nothing to do with anything anymore…

Neji made no attempt to take the cup, and glared at Naruto through narrowed eyes. "It's got alcohol in it, you idiot."

Naruto's eyed widened slightly in shock. Of course! That's why it tasted so weird... Ugh…Alcohol. How gross...

Blue eyes suddenly brightened.

Hmmm... Alcohol...!

----------------------------

"Here here!" Ino shouted, as everyone in the room gradually quietened down. Her blue eyes flashed mischievously as she grinned and gestured for Sakura to start her speech. Sasuke was standing rigidly next to the pink-haired Shinobi, looking rather un-amused.

"I would just like to thank everyone for coming today!" Sakura grinned happily, and gave Naruto a small wink. "And we hope you've all had a good time!"

Naruto grinned. "Hell yeah!" he shouted, a little dazed, cutting Sakura's speech short. The other people around him sniggered at his outburst, but Naruto didn't seem to notice nor care. The blonde ninja had decided that the punch tasted nice after all. And currently, he was a little drunk… Ok he was a lot drunk…

After all, when did Naruto ever do anything by halves??

"We would like to announce the date for our wedding!" Sakura smiled cheerfully, and looked at Sasuke for assurance. The Uchiha heir gave her a small nod, which seemed to encourage the pink haired girl to continue. "It's going to be 2 months from today!"

Everyone, bar Lee, cheered as Sakura blushed a deep red. It was happening. The moment she had dreamed of so often… Too often… It was finally happening...

Lee continued to cry pathetically, but silently this time. He still loved Sakura - he always would. But he didn't want to ruin her special moment... He wanted her to be happy, even if she did find happiness with someone else...

"And lastly," Sakura continued, as everyone quietened down. "We would like to announce that the maid of honour is going to be Ino…"

"Hell yeah!" the blonde girl yelled happily, although she secretly knew that it was coming. After all, they were former rivals, and best friends. No one, not even Sasuke, knew the pink-haired girl better than she did! She promised herself that she'd do everything in her power to make that day special for the pink haired girl...

"And the best man is going to be… you Naruto!" Sakura beamed at the half drunken blonde boy. She didn't need to rethink her decision. When the issue had cropped up, there was only one real solution, and it had to be Naruto. When she had voiced her thoughts, Sasuke stayed impassive, which in Uchiha terms meant that it was acceptable… Anyway, it wasn't as if he had objected to her decision....

'So the maid of honour and the best man were both our former rivals…' Sakura thought to herself. How ironic.

Naruto didn't know what to say. His mind was still fuzzy due to the influence of alcohol. The news hadn't really sunk in...

"Yeah!" he managed to yell, before he immediately passed out.

-----------------------------

'Hmm my bed's gone cold and uncomfortable…' Naruto thought to himself irritably. He stretched out his arms and legs, and felt something warm hit the side of his right arm. It was the face of an extremely annoyed Shikamaru.

"What… What are you doing here?" Naruto slurred his words. Man his head hurt. Why did it hurt so much!? And why the hell was Shikamaru near his bed?! Eww…

Did something happen?!

"I'm helping you off the floor you idiot," came the exasperated reply. "Pfft, you've gotten heavy…"

Naruto giggled. He didn't know why. Nothing was particularly funny. But he didn't seem to care. Just where exactly was he? Oh well, back to more important things…

"You have a weird face…" Naruto muttered as he tried to poke Shikamaru in the eye. He missed terribly, and ended up poking the lazy ninja's nose.

"Che, you are so annoying," Shikamaru mumbled, as he threw Naruto, albeit gently, onto the couch in the Uchiha house. The blonde frowned at the sudden action.

"I'm going home now Sakura, thanks for everything!" the lazy-Shinobi shouted. Naruto winced. Why was he so loud? Was he deaf or something? And why was the light so bright…? And why the hell did he feel so nauseous?…

Actually never mind the questions. He didn't really care.

Naruto heard the front door click shut as he saw a blonde ponytail leave with a black one. So Ino had left with Shikamaru? He wanted to wonder whether something was going on, but his head hurt too much to be thinking straight.

"Hey Naruto, are you ok?" Sakura asked him, as she appeared from the kitchen, her voice a little anxious.

'Aww she's worried about me,' Naruto thought, and a huge grinned appeared on his face before he even thought about hiding it. "I'm ok Sakuraaaaa-chan!" he sang, as he sat up unsteadily on the couch. Damn the floor! Why was it swaying so much?!

Were they in an earthquake?!

"Naruto, you sure you can get home ok? You can spend the night here if you want…" Sakura offered, her expression betraying her genuine concern over the blonde's well being.

"Uhmm… It's ok…. I can get back ok…" Naruto slurred. Was it this late already? Had everyone left? Is that why it was so quiet, or were the guests just really boring…? Hmm… Exactly how long had he been passed out for?

"Seriously, you can spend the night here or I could get Sasuke to drop you back home…" Sakura suggested helpfully.

The blonde winced as the Uchiha's name was mentioned. He couldn't exactly remember why at that very moment, but his instincts told him that Sasuke meant trouble. And he was just about smart enough to trust his instincts.

Naruto was just about to politely decline, when a voice interrupted him.

"I-I-I can… I can take N-N-Naruto-Kun h-h-home…" Hinata's nervous voice trailed off into a whisper as her face burned a furious red. Now that she had made such a bold offer, she was actually quite unsure of herself. Sure - she knew where the blonde lived - after all, she had spent most of her life watching him… But in all those years, she never did have the confidence, or the opportunity to actually set foot into his apartment...

And she wasn't sure if she had the confidence now...

"Are you sure its ok Hinata?" Sakura asked, a little surprised at the smaller girl's boldness. It was obvious - clearly obvious to everyone now, maybe bar Naruto, that the dark haired girl had something for the blonde - something much deeper than friendship... But due to Naruto's oblivious nature to the situation, and Hinata's severe shyness, nothing had ever kicked off between the two. Hell, nothing even remotely close to nearly kicking off had happened either! Sometimes Naruto could be a little too dunce, and annoyingly ignorant to his personal surroundings…

That or he was just blind and stupid.

Sakura wouldn't have actually minded if the blonde stayed over, but she wasn't too sure about Sasuke's reactions... Not that the Uchiha would've actually voice his opinions. Although she hadn't shown it in her behaviour towards the two, she knew something wasn't right between them. After all, she wasn't called the brightest girl in the village for nothing… But she didn't intend to act upon it either - after all, men's business was men's business... She definitely didn't want to intrude into Sasuke's affairs, knowing how much he valued his privacy. She was also certain that it'd somehow sort itself out. It always did between the two. After all, they never could stay angry at each other...

And she was positive that fact didn't change.

--------------------------------------

"It's… It's only a l-l-little out of m-my way…" Hinata lied, her face on fire. 'She must know I'm lying… I'm so stupid!' Hinata cringed, as she lowered her head in shame. She couldn't believe that she had just lied. She hardly ever lied, and she knew she wasn't good at it, so why did she even bother?!

"Thank you Hinata-chan!" Naruto grinned from the couch, as he tried to steady himself. "As long as its fine with you…" he added, hastily. He actually wouldn't mind some company home... After all, he did have a lot of catching up to do with the dark haired girl...

Hinata felt her heart stop. Naruto had called her Hinata-CHAN! Like the way he called his precious Sakura… Did that mean something? And oh my god, was she was finally going to get some time alone with the blonde boy?! 'breathe, breathe, breathe…'… She managed to yelp a small "Haii…" before she fled to the toilet to attempt to compose herself.

Sakura grinned to herself. So something was finally happening? And all it took was a drunken Naruto. The pink haired girl grinned. This was definitely going to be interesting…

----------------------------------------

"Hinata-channnn! When do you want to leave?" Naruto slurred his question unsteadily. He didn't like slurring his words. It made him sound funny. But he didn't really care at the moment. Hell, he didn't really care about anything at the moment, apart from getting some sleep in his nice warm bed… Unlike the cold, hard floor that Shikamaru had rudely woken him up from… He was actually feeling kinda tired; the exhaustion from the day's training had seemed to finally catch up with him...

Hinata tensed, feeling the blonde's presence behind her. "A-Anytime y-you want, N-Naruto-kun!" she flustered, wishing that she didn't feel so vulnerable and nervous around the bright boy. And hot... So damn hot.

Naruto grinned, and Hinata felt her heart melt. "You're really cute…" he murmured a little too loudly, before collapsing on top of the shocked girl. Hinata instantly froze, as she held the blonde boy in complete astonishment. Did he just…

Did he just call her cute?

When the words had finally sunk in, Hinata blushed a furious shade of red. Naruto had just called her cute! Ok he was drunk, but he said it nevertheless! When she finally remembered to breathe, she also realised that she was still holding Naruto, and in a rather compromising situation nevertheless! She immediately jerked backwards in shock, and watched as the blonde dropped ungraciously into a heap upon the floor.

Hinata gasped and rushed to the fallen boy's side. She was glad that no one else was in sight, otherwise she'd never be able to live it down…! Thankfully, everyone else had gone home at about midnight - Kakashi went slightly earlier, muttering something about 'crazy eyebrow duo freaks'. Neji, looking rather un-amused, left with TenTen as Gai-sensei left with Lee, who still had streams of tears running down his cheeks. (The constant tear trails had made the rest of his face look rather unpleasantly blotchy, which had amused everyone else greatly.) Shino, Kiba and Chouji left simultaneously with another load of random people, and Ino had left with Shikamaru. Sakura was upstairs and god knows where Sasuke was…

"Ow…" Naruto muttered as he regained consciousness after hitting the floor. He gazed unsteadily into the worried eyes of the dark haired girl beside him. "Hey Hinata-chan… Can we go now?" he murmured, closing his eyes, then deciding to keep them closed. Things were starting to spin rather unpleasantly, and he felt extremely worn and tired. He just wanted to go home…

"S-S-Sure, I-I-I'll just go t-t-tell S-Sakura-chan…" Hinata stuttered, as she helped the blonde boy off the floor, and supported his weight against the staircase. She then went upstairs to inform the pink haired girl of their departure.

Maybe it was because she was extremely nervous due to her encounters with Naruto, or maybe it was because she too had a little to drink - but either way, she didn't see or feel the looming presence behind her... She didn't sense the pair of dark eyes, blankly watching her actions as she tended to the blonde... She didn't feel the tension in the air, nor the heavy uneasiness that seemed to cloak and surround them all...

She didn't notice Sasuke hiding within the shadows, watching her every move, his breathing dangerously slow. And she didn't see the dark emotions that flickered across his empty eyes - the fury, the anger, the hate...

And the raging jealousy.

----------------------------------------------

Naruto somehow managed to stumble home with the aid of Hinata, leaning against her far more than he would've liked. He frowned - just how much had he drank!? He had never gotten drunk before, although he wasn't entirely sure whether these side effects - such as falling over all the time - actually meant that he was drunk... All he knew was that he felt nauseous, his head hurt and he wanted to sleep...

He wanted to sleep oh so bad...

The two had walked in silence, which Naruto was silently thankful for. The blonde concentrated on using his remaining strength to try to keep himself up straight. He couldn't use Hinata as support too much - although she was quite strong, he didn't want to burden her more than he already did...

After all, as Shikamaru reminded him, he wasn't the lightest thing in the world…

When they reached his apartment, Naruto fumbled about for his keys before handing them to the dark-haired girl. He couldn't seem to focus properly, not even enough to perform a simple task such as opening his front door. Hinata blushed, but after a few seconds, the door opened with a small click.

The blonde's apartment was far tidier than she had expected it to be. She had always imagined it to look like something within the regions of an overused dump. It smelt strongly of ramen, and her suspicions were confirmed correct as she saw ramen packets and cups littered all over the table. 'At least it isn't all over the floor,' she thought to herself, as she blushed once again. She couldn't believe that she was actually in his apartment! She actually had the courage to set foot into his apartment…

Naruto eased out of her grip and started to strip off.

'Oh my god what is he doing?!' Hinata thought, as her mind raced erratically.

"N-N-Naruto-kun…" the dark-haired girl stammered as her heart galloped furiously in tow with her mind. What the hell! Was he stripping off?! Oh my GOD!! But no matter how much she wanted to see the blonde in the nude, she didn't want him to do it while drunk! Her head suddenly felt really light. Stripping off was definitely a bad idea…right!?

Naruto paused as his hands wandered to the waistband of his khaki pants. He was already topless. Hinata's eyes widened spontaneously as she admired the blonde boy's torso in the moonlight. He was… was… He was perfect. That was the only word that did him justice... The silver light reflected off every curve of his well-toned muscles. He looked so strong, yet so soft… Almost angelic in a way. His skin was visibly smooth and supple, and the seal's colourings around his belly button were almost invisible. She almost made out the faint patterns circling the navel, when she realised that she had been staring. She had been staring a lot. She blushed even darker, if that was at all possible.

But luckily for her, Naruto was still heavily intoxicated.

"Oh yeah, I won't keep you here for long, I bet you're wanting to go home too right…" Naruto slurred a complete sentence together, and then felt extremely proud of himself. Hinata's mind screamed at her. Naruto was there, standing semi-naked! React react react! But Hinata couldn't bring herself to do anything. After all, she was too shy! And what the hell would she do anyway? She didn't know anything about anything…

Naruto wandered unsteadily towards his front door, as Hinata quickly followed suit, having a strange feeling that she was going to regret all this in the morning...

"S-S-Stay here N-N-Naruto-kun," she ordered softly, surprising herself with her boldness. "I-I don't want y-you getting a cold…"

Naruto grinned, and stumbled outside onto the street as Hinata winced. Why did no one ever listen to her?

"Don't worry Hinata-channn!" he sang. "I never get colds… Kakashi-sensei said it's because of the nine tails…" Naruto's voiced dropped off, and he frowned. Just when had Kakashi said that?

Hinata tried to push the blonde back into his house, to no avail. Naruto giggled childishly before wrapping his arms around the smaller girl. He pushed her against his bare chest, encasing her in a tight embrace before she even had the time to react. Hinata was now on the verge of insanity. Just so much had happened in such a short period of time! Her face couldn't keep up with the blushing and now, her heart had threatened to stop!

Did Naruto even know what he was doing to her?!

"You have really pretty hair…" Naruto murmured, stroking her dark hair from root to tip. "I like dark hair… It's nice…" he grinned. "It reminds me of someone…" blue eyes became unfocussed, as the blonde seemed to recollect a distant memory or past dream that he had encountered.

"W-W-Who does it r-remind you of, N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked softly, jarring Naruto back to the present. He was so nice, so warm... And he felt so safe. His chest seemed to burn against her cheek, but it was a nice burning sensation. Her stomach no longer flipped, and her heart began to beat more steadily… It all felt so nice, so natural... She finally felt relaxed around the blonde boy, and decided that she enjoyed this feeling much more…

"Uh…"Naruto released Hinata and scratched the back of his head in confusion, the dreamy expression leaving his eyes. What was he talking about? Who did what remind him of? Ugh his head hurt…

Hinata unsuccessfully tried to hide her disappointment as the blonde's heat escaped her. But his warmth lingered upon her cheek. She shivered slightly.

"I need sleep…" Naruto thought out loud, and shook his head in a daze. "Thanks Hinata-chan… I owe you one… err… Have a safe journey home!" he murmured, feeling as if he was about to pass out at any moment. He didn't really want to make her walk home alone. But he seriously thought that he was going to be sick. He was sure she wouldn't want to stay in his house - after all, it was extremely messy - no place for a lady...

And he was positive she wouldn't want her reputation tarnished… I mean, who would? He was the demon fox after all… The fact that she had offered to walk him home was still a mystery to him… Normally he'd be suspicious, but at the moment he felt too much like crap to bother being apprehensive, and accepted any help he was offered...

Hinata smiled warmly, oblivious to the thoughts running through the blonde's mind. "S-See you s-soon, N-Naruto-kun…" she waved as she walked off into the distance. She sighed inwardly. Just what the hell had happened there?! First Naruto was all nice and cuddly, then he mentioned someone… And then he acted weird?! The dark-haired girl shook her head in bewilderment. Men sure were weird... She doubted that she'd ever be able to fully comprehend the opposite sex...

----------------------

Naruto looked at the girl's retreating figure, before stepping back into his own apartment, his remaining will intent on getting him to bed.

When he reached the entrance of his house, he saw that someone was blocking his path. Naruto wearily looked up. Who could possibly be standing outside his door at such an ungodly hour? And just when had he appeared? How could someone have gotten there without him or Hinata noticing?

That's when he recognised the familiar scent all too well…

Blue eyes met black.

That answered his question.

"Sasuke…" Naruto whispered.

Sasuke: (angrily barges in) I just want to get something straight! I did NOT say that I wanted to strip *censored* and *censored* Naruto! (growls furiously)
Naruto just happens to walk by again, and just happens to hear Sasuke's say the "I wanted to strip *censored* and *censored* Naruto..." part of the sentence. He then hears the boy growl, and mistakes for it for a purr.
Naruto: *screams and points* Sasuke you pervert!! Arghhhh! I don't think that's even physically possible between us... Arghhhh!

Thanks for reading x
