Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto kishi does

A/N: So it's been close to a month since the last chapter was posted, and while we're slowly working on chapter 9 -clears throat- we're also waiting on chapters 6-8 to be read over for grammar and such -eyes- But yeah, I figured I'd just go ahead and post this up now since Skully asked sometime last week
We're getting closer to the newer chapters that aren't so hard to read (i think so anyway) -is excited-
well, I'm posting this when I should be getting to bed...
as always, any females in this are simply for plot movings along
anyway, I hope you guys like it 8D (also i apologize for any spelling things I might have missed on my last run though, im tried _-_ )

Jerking in his seat from the vibrations, Naruto checked his cell-phone for the fifth time since he got out of school. Another goddamn call from Mizuki. He had already responded to his text messages, what else could he want?

Either way, the blond ignored it, not wanting to start a scene in front of Kiba's mom—and because he didn't want to deal with all of that just yet. Tonight was going to be a good night, and then as soon as he figured out where they were going, the resulting fuck was going to be even better.

He pulled up another spoonful of jambalaya from his plate and stuck it in his mouth. A grunt of approval sounding in his throat before he took in another spoonful.

"Like my cooking, sweetie?" Tsume asked with a small laugh, not used to somebody being so enthusiastic about her cooking. Her own children usually complained about how spicy everything was.

"This is delicious!" Naruto exclaimed through a mouthful, scooting up in his chair for better access. Konoha had to be full of chefs or something. There was good food everywhere!

"I'd slow down if I were you, it can sometimes be unforgiving later," Kiba leaned over and whispered to the blond, even though he could be heard by his mother anyway. He glanced down at his own plate, having only picked up another spoonful of the spicy rice after eating something more neutral, like… green beans, which he chewed slowly.

Pulling back from the blond when Kiba caught his mother's glare, he quickly scooped up a large spoonful of the rice in question and shoveled it into his mouth, then took a large drink from his can of coke before chewing. "'ets 'ood, ma!" He smiled around the bite, pulling in a few quick lung-fulls of air to try and calm the fire on his tongue.

"Well that's good," she said with a smile before continuing to eat her own portion.

Naruto snorted to himself quietly, eyes moving up to watch the Inuzuka nearly whine in pain, his face turning an obvious shade of red that almost blended into the triangles on his face. "Don't hurt yourself," he said with a cruel grin, shoveling another bite into his mouth. It stung, but not to the extent that the younger Inuzuka was making it seem.

"You hush." Kiba kicked his foot out to the side, nudging Naruto's own enough that it moved across the tiled floor a few inches. "I built up this intolerance," he groused, unhappy that his stomach had revolted against some of his favorite foods. He'd eaten too much of a good thing, and Kiba fucking loved food.

Turning to glance up at the clock on the wall, seeing that it read 7:45pm, Kiba shoveled the rice in a bit faster, managing to shove in a few green-beans and such as well. He wanted to leave early since they'd have to drive through Katon to get to the industrial side of town where tonight's races would be held. And as much as he really wanted to support Naruto, Kiba knew he had to bet on Sasuke, and at least he would be able to make a profit that he could split between the two of them and hopefully make it up to the blond. He'll probably almost make it at least, he smiled. He was certain that Naruto would see the finish line, but more than likely never cross it before the raven did.

Kicking the brunet back, blue eyes followed the other's and caught sight of the time as well. Naruto then followed suit and started to quickly empty his plate. Even if it made him sick later, he needed to make sure he was nice and fed before the race, he always did horrible even if he was just a little hungry.

There was still the thought of what he would get. Oh well, he'd have to worry about that some other time. He would be the winner, he should be able to pick whenever he wanted.

"Are you two boys that hungry?" Tsume said, looking up with a slight surprise on her face. Then she got up out of her chair, her cell-phone buzzing from in her pocket. "Well shit," she hissed out, seeing it was a business call. After tugging it to her ear, she stepped just out of the kitchen, leaning against the wall, "Hello?"

Naruto looked up to watch her leave, then turned to catch Kiba's eye. If they were going to jet out of here before his mom could stop them, now was the time.

Kiba quickly downed his coke before scooting back in his chair. He had cleared everything on his plate in a matter of minutes, and he knew that, while his mother didn't care if he went out or not, it was getting out the door without the standard 'be safe and such' speech, which usually lasted at least thirty minutes, that he was worried about. "Let's go while she's on the phone," Kiba whispered, knowing Tsume had good ears.

He picked up Naruto's plate once the blond had cleared it as well and quickly walked them over to the sink before grabbing them both another coke from the fridge as he passed by it. "I need my bag." He nodded, before eyeing the doorway his mother had disappeared out.

"MA~! We're heading out! I'll see you in the morning!!" he called loudly, a hand flailed in the doorway, silently telling him to hush up while waving goodbye. Kiba grinned, taking the stairs up two at a time, Akamaru at his heals.

Taking the coke the other had grabbed him, Naruto made his way towards the door, slipping out to stand on the porch and wait on Kiba. It wasn't long before he heard the brunet bounding down the stairs, telling Akamaru something as he pulled open the front door and shut it behind him.

"Ready?" the Inuzuka asked, even as he turned to stroll towards his car.

"More than you know," Naruto replied, going over to his bike and mounting it. He slipped the can into the side pocket on his messenger bag and tugged on his helmet, turning on the bike and pulling it to the side so he could follow the brunet once the other had started out.

It took a little more than two hours to work through the heavy evening traffic, more so since cops had been out hiding along the outskirts of the city when they entered Katon. Though, since Kiba had a radar detector installed, they managed to get past without being stopped, and even then, they were forced to take it easy on the highways until they were near the other side of the city. It was a good thing they tended to stay ahead of the cops on these things, since they were expecting them to be on the same side of the city as they had been the night before.

Once they were in the clear, Kiba quickly weaved through the traffic, making it to the nearly abandoned factory where the start and end of the race, as well as the after party, was being held. They were far enough away from the general population that the cops would simply leave them be, or it was more than likely that they profited more than anyone, so they didn't want to ruin their non-taxed income.

Pulling through the gates with Naruto behind him, Kiba giving the guy guarding the entrance a grin and a nod in greeting before they passed, he quickly sped up to the back where everyone was at, the music growing louder and more chaotic with all the different genres playing. He slowed down, waving at Naruto to pull up to him. "I'll find the banker while you look for Sasuke." Kiba nodded at a group of girls who eyed him, giggling amongst themselves. "That cool with you?"

Tossing his head to jerk the bangs from his eye, Naruto set his helmet down on his bike that was parked alongside Kiba's car. Getting off of it, he stashed his bag in the front seat of the red vehicle and shut the door. He craned his head, looking for anyone that might lead him to Sasuke, though he wasn't sure he knew who the Uchiha hung out with besides that blond and redhead from the other night.

Stepping up to a group, the blond put on his most charming grin and looped his arm around a girl's hip from behind. "Hey there, hotstuff, do you know where I can find an Uchiha?" he purred in her ear, making her giggle and shove at him.

"Oh, you'll find him over there," she said, pointing over to a small group—mostly girls—who were standing around somebody. No wonder he couldn't find him on his own, the guy was hidden.

"Thanks, babe," Naruto said with a wink, pinching the girl's chin before walking towards where she had gestured.

"An 'okay' woulda been nice…" Kiba arched a brow as the blond headed deeper into the crowd after getting the information he needed, even before he had gotten out of his own car. "Yeah, sure I'll watch your stuff for you too, man." He grinned, not really complaining, but more so happy that it seemed Naruto was warming up to him a bit, either that or he had been just a little bit too hospitable. "Nah." Kiba shrugged, turning from his car and ducking into the crowd of giggling girls. "So how are you lovely ladies doing tonight?"

Sasuke turned from his half of a conversation with Juugo when a slender hand slowly made its way up his thigh, the two of them sitting on the hood of the larger man's car. Dark orbs followed the line of skin that lead to a pair of scarlet eyes which were taking their time moving up from where they had been set. "Karin." He couldn't help but scowl, but otherwise did nothing to move her away just yet.

"Did you get my note?" She tilted her head to the side, voice almost innocent-sounding with the question.

"There you are," Naruto drawled out, shoving Karin aside with barely a glance, "'Scuse me, babe." He placed his hands on either of the Uchiha's knees, peeling them apart to slip between them.

"You ready for our little race? Hope it doesn't hurt ya too bad when you lose. I'll make sure my prize is your prize later," the blond grinned cheekily, rubbing his thumbs on the inside of Sasuke's thighs. "Which reminds me, wherever we go, I want it to be somewhere you've never done it." His eyes narrowed a tad while his tongue snaked over his bottom lip.

"Um, excuse me," Karin spoke up, getting up on the car and shoving the blond away with her foot. "I was talking to him first, thank you." She narrowed her eyes, tilting her foot to dig the heel in Naruto's ribs.

Grabbing the small ankle firmly, Naruto laughed breathily and shoved it away, forcing a grin. "He didn't seem too excited to talk to you, chick, or is it just me?" Blue eyes cut over to the Uchiha.

"Who the hell are you?!" Suigetsu nearly jumped on the blond, but Juugo stopped him, knowing that he would end up hurting Sasuke in the process, and the Uchiha was racing tonight, he didn't need to get into a fight beforehand.

A smirk played on pale lips with the forwardness Naruto exuded, the other teen actually having enough balls to walk up to and touch him before instantly starting on getting the prize he had been promised if he should win. "Hn." He grinned. "There's not many places where I haven't." He tilted his head to the side a bit, leaning back on his hands. He could care less about Karin or her interests; Naruto was certainly more interesting than anyone around here had been in a long while.

It amused him to see Karin huff in annoyance while Suigetsu growled possessively, Juugo still holding onto the flailing frame.

A deep chuckle rumbled through Naruto's chest as his eyes passed over the two who definitely weren't pleased with what his aims were. "You can have him back in a while," he said with a grin and an incline of his head, brow rising in amusement.

"I can have him back whenever I want, fuckhead," Suigetsu snarled, still trying to break away from Juugo's grip.

Naruto turned his head from the other blond, leaning forward to match the angle that the Uchiha was now at. "Well that just makes things better for me then. Less choices." He grinned more. "How about after this race, you give me the rundown on these places?"

A raven brow arched, hidden under the blue streaked locks covering his right eye. Dark eyes stayed where they had been this entire time, locked on the blue ones now intently looking into his own. "Once you win, I'll consider it." He smirked, leaning up so that their lips were only a breath apart. "Dobe." He grinned more, knowing that the blond was clueless as to what that word meant, though he was positive that Suigetsu would gladly tell the other for him.

"Put me down!" Suigetsu struggled more, wiggling about in the redhead's grasp even as his eyes never moved off of the two males in front of him. "I wanna know who this fucking punk thinks he is!"

"Oh you're just jealous because Sasuke found someone less diseased than your skankalicious ass!" Karin shouted at the loud-mouthed teen, from where she now stood beside the sleek car.

"Now, if you'll excuse me…" Sasuke pushed himself back upright, forcing Naruto to move with him, his own hand moving forward so that short, black painted nails dragged up the inside of the blond's thigh before he cupped the other teen's endowment, lips curling up to the left a little higher. "Hn." It was amusing to know that his earlier thoughts had been correct.

Pushing past Naruto, as well as leaving Karin behind unanswered, Sasuke headed over to where he had parked his bike earlier, knowing that he was being followed by Suigetsu, then Juugo, more so since he could hear the white-haired teen grumbling to himself.

Blue eyes followed the leather-clad ass intently, Naruto licking his lips in anticipation. There was no way he could lose this race; there was no way he was going to lose this race.

Blood instantly pooled in his lower abdomen from the crude touch, making the blond feel way more eager than he already was just from being in the Uchiha's presence. It was as if Sasuke's pores just leaked sex, forming an aura of lusty heat that choked you if you even took a sniff.

With a nod in the raven's direction after he caught his eye, he headed towards his own bike.

Kiba had spotted Naruto as the blond headed back towards his bike, the brunet having found the banker and paid Naruto's entry fee as well as place his own bets. The girls around him had decided to follow him after seeing just how much cash the scruffy brunet had on him. "Did you find him?" Kiba inquired, though the smirk on the other's face told him that he more than likely had. "Good luck man, it can get vicious out there." Kiba grinned more as engines around them revved.

Once on his bike, Sasuke slipped his leather jacket back on, eyes roving over the cheering crowd of people as more and more engines began to rev for the start of the race, Suigetsu had been stopped by a few of his usual hussies, but had ignored them in favor of following after the raven, violet eyes narrowed slightly. "What the hell was that?!" he groused, arms waving at his side.

"Jealous?" A raven brow arched, as he slipped one ear bud into his ear, leaving the other to be tucked into the collar of his mostly zipped up jacket. He smirked when Suigetsu nearly huffed in annoyance, still eyeing the Uchiha.

"Am not," he mumbled, turning from the other teen to head over to his own bike, wanting to follow the race behind the other racers.

Pulling his helmet on after starting up his playlist on his iPod, Sasuke couldn't help but smirk as he turned on his engine, revving it a few times before peeling out of the area he had parked in, a cloud of white smoke following behind his back tire.

With a reassuring wave to Kiba, silently telling him he'd be fine, Naruto mounted his bike and pulled on his helmet. Turning the vehicle fluidly, leaving a black line on the pavement behind his wheel, he headed towards where the race's starting line was, stopping close to Sasuke and his black bike, the other racers continuing to line up as well.

He tugged up his helmet and gave the Uchiha a grin. "Ready to get started, princess?"

There was a roar of engines and the quieter cheering from the crowd. There was the sexiest man he'd ever seen in his life at his side. He was on his bike, doing one of the things he was best at. And there was no way he was going to lose. Life couldn't be better.

Sasuke turned when Naruto drove up beside him, his helmet sitting on his bike between his legs as he quickly scrolled through the songs in his play list, stopping on one of his favorites. When the blond opened his mouth, Sasuke wanted to punch him, but instead simply allowed a smirk to curl onto his lips as he lightly shook his head.

"You're overconfident, Usuratonkachi." He pressed his iPod back into his jacket pocket before reaching for his helmet. His grin grew more as the banker walked out in front of the line of bikers, giving out the same speech as he always did. "You ever have sex on your bike?" He arched a brow, dark orbs darting over to the two girls spray painting a line on cement just in front of their tires, indicating just where they had to cross over again in order to win.

Pushing his helmet back a little farther, Naruto turned his head to look at the other with both eyes. The question took him off-guard a little at first until the ulterior motives he made up to go along with it surfaced in his brain, making a grin curl his lips. "Hell yeah I have," he said, sitting back a little before revving his engine.

The banker slowly backed up a few steps, waiting for his two ladies to walk up to him so they could count them down to take off, the first girl already starting. Sasuke couldn't help but smirk more with Naruto's answer. It figured, and at the same time in intrigued him, wondering just what the other had done before getting here.

"While you were driving?" he asked before pushing his helmet down over his head as the second girl spoke up. It was rather amusing, playing this game, teasing the blond enough to get him riled up, only to leave him behind wanting more. There wasn't anyone else that could tease him back enough to get him to actually feel how Naruto had managed to, and it was something that Sasuke was going to figure out.

As soon as the black pools were hidden from his view, the man shouted out that everyone should go. Racers took off left and right and Naruto barely had the time to catch up after shoving his helmet back down. If he were less of a man, he would have gaped—though he probably had, dammit. Had that meant that Sasuke had? Was he really asking just to wonder if Naruto had? Which he hadn't, that—he'd never thought of that, but if Sasuke had…

Blue eyes narrowed from behind his visor as the blond sped up, popping a wheelie and kicking the stray dirt and gravel up as he passed the stragglers. He had to win this, there was no way, but fuck had that momentary brain-fart thrown him off. Fucker did it on purpose.

A grin still spread his lips though; the Uchiha had explaining to do after he lost.

The smirk stayed on his lips when he left the blond behind, able to see him in his rear-view mirror for a few seconds before other drivers quickly blocked the reflected image of the other teen as they quickly sped up to try and catch him. He took off, speeding up into the first turn on the side streets that surrounded the large area, knowing the set course well, if not by heart. He concentrated on moving forward, while the others behind him seemed more intent on shoving one another out of the way.

When Naruto appeared in his mirror once more, an amused snort passed over pale lips. Now it was a race.

Dodging the bikes that went tipping over from some very violent person up front, Naruto quickly gained a few spots. It helped that he'd worked on his bike himself, increasing its speed and maneuverability. He sacrificed some weight, so it was pretty easy to throw his bike off if you hit it hard enough, but it was worth it. He was pretty good at not getting bumped into.

"One potato, two potato, three potato, four..." the blond chanted to himself as he passed the other racers—the "potatoes." These were definitely just small-fry punks who probably just raced to "race" and show off to their girlfriends. The ones he was most interested in were already at the front, where they belonged. Sasuke, of course, in the lead. Even Naruto could read enough about the other and what people said about him to know he was pretty fucking good.

The course progressed into the more closely built buildings, taking them through much more dangerous areas where equipment was being held as well as where late night workers were being let out onto the two lanes streets. The curve that Sasuke was looking the most forward to was coming up, and while it was followed by a ramp that most people managed to miss, he knew to hug the outside of it and use the ramp to launch himself farther forward. He could see Naruto quickly gaining on him, and while the thought of the blond winning was somewhat of an enticing thought, he couldn't afford to lose tonight, not when there was so much at stake.

A growl left the pale body when the driver behind him sped up, a pipe he had picked up somewhere in his hand as he grinned, thinking he was going to take him down. And while he swerved to miss getting hit by the heavy metal, he also missed the ramp, which annoyed him. It was cheap to cheat, and it took no skill whatsoever. If the moron was going to play it this way, then so was he.

Reaching down, Sasuke slowed a bit, allowing the other guy to catch up to him before he changed sides, coming up beside the long haired male and forcing him to switch sides. And while he was at an advantage being left handed, this guy was obviously not. He had to swing from the opposite side as to not throw himself off balance, and since he had come up behind the raven on the right, using his right hand to swig the pipe, it was easy.

Pulling his sword out after the next swing, Sasuke sliced the pipe in half while hitting the heated rubber of the guy's front tire, which instantly blew out, causing him to lose control of his bike. A smirk curled onto pale lips as he replaced the concealed weapon and sped back up, noticing that the others were getting even closer.

Naruto half-circled around the guy that the Uchiha had taken out, arching a brow at how badly the victim had gone out of control. He bit the inside of his cheek as he sped up again until he spotted the glint of the raven's tail pipes and giving him a boost of confidence—not that he doubted himself. A grin spread wide over his cheeks before he took a curve, hugging it tightly while speeding up rather than slowing down.

He was definitely pushing his bike a little harder than he was used to, but he was confident she would make it. This would just be the first race he actually tested his alterations on.

Another guy was slowly taken over by him, leaving only two more people in between him and Sasuke. He quickly scanned over the upcoming surroundings, trying to figure out a way to get a quick gain on these other guys. There probably wasn't much left to this course. He didn't know too much about it since he didn't look over the map more than once, a dumb move on his part honestly, but in his defense… he had Sasuke on the brain.

Looking up after a near run-in with the guy in front of him—pay more attention to the road, Naruto—he saw what he was looking for; up ahead there was a small path that led behind one of the residential houses that peppered the landscape. It cut straight through an otherwise wide, bending curve, gaining him a lot of distance between him and the racers in his way and possibly passing them if he kept his speed up. The path would be a tight squeeze and there was plenty of common background trash, but he was sure of himself, it being his trademark to come up with things out of his ass on the spot.

Quickly weaving to the side—catching the interest of the guy ahead who looked back and shook his head—Naruto got on the small path, finding it to be mostly soft dirt to his annoyance, but he couldn't slow down or else it'd forfeit his reasons for using it. Instead he rose up in his seat, riding his motorcycle like a dirt bike as he bounced and jostled over the many eroded holes in the ground. Luckily, someone else used this road pretty frequently with some sort of vehicle because most of the trash he'd seen from afar was littered on the sides, giving him a clear shot.

He let out a loud laugh once he exited the other side, now way ahead of the two that had been in his way and closer to tailing the Uchiha. Way closer.

Rolling his neck slightly, the blond sat back down in his seat and flexed his shoulders. Time for this race to get serious.

Glancing to the side when Naruto suddenly slid into his rearview mirrors, Sasuke couldn't help but smirk, his tongue lightly rubbing against the cut on his lip. He figured the blond would use that shortcut, he had a few times when he had first gotten here, but the one he tended to like the most was the alleyway that was coming up. Instead he took the curve, passing by the back entrance to the large factory grounds they had started on, passing by the people cheering and shouting.

He took the next turn quickly, skidding along the pavement, his foot coming out to drag lightly against the cement as it was the second sharpest turn, the last one being the sharpest, and then sped up as he straightened. He glanced in his mirrors again to see one of the back two guys fall over, though Naruto was still right behind him, and he knew that the blond was smirking, thinking he was close. Sometimes this was too easy.

Glancing over and seeing the factory building again, Naruto knew this was soon coming to an end. With that in mind, he tightened his gloved fists around the grips of his bike, taking the engine up to as far as it would go. The bike jerked a little, but he just took it in stride, leaning forward. He had seen the alley but was a little too late. Oh well, he could still do this without the second shortcut.

Taking the turns as Sasuke had, though maybe his bike leaned a little more than he liked, Naruto found himself quickly working his way towards the black bike. Had he a good reason to, he could probably reach out and touch the raven's rear lights in no time. As long as nothing went wrong, he'd be in front right before the finish line. It'd be close, but he'd win.

He couldn't help the little spark of electricity that danced up his spine, boiling the adrenaline that was already pumping into his veins.

Sasuke tilted his head to the side a little, getting a better view of the orange Suzuki behind him as it jerked slightly. It seemed that the blond hadn't been paying attention to the map, or rather: his mind had been a bit too preoccupied with something else. He smirked, knowing that the next turn was extremely sharp, and it was better for drift around it.

The crowds of people grew thicker as they neared the finish line, a few obviously more than surprised that the new guy was still in the race, let alone right on the Uchiha's tail. They backed up when both bikes neared the turn, Sasuke hitting his brakes as he threw out his foot and hit the gas, drifting around the sharp corner before taking off again, leaving a white cloud of smoke behind him. If Naruto made it past that, then well, he would at least allow the other teen another chance at beating him.

"Fucking…" Naruto cursed, his voice echoing loudly back at him from the confines of the helmet. Luckily, he'd dealt with this trick before and was used to memorizing what was ahead of him before going on ahead. You're not that distracting, Uchiha/

He took the turn, going in fast before hitting his own brakes and drifting while nearly sitting on the other side of the bike rather than throwing his foot out, using mainly his arm strength to keep the motorcycle steady. The blond maneuvered his Katana straight again underneath himself and took his speed back up to what it had been before.

Blue eyes narrowed from behind his eye shield as he finally made it to Sasuke's side. Now the only struggle left was getting in front of the raven before the end as the track after that last turn was pretty straight.

Turning to look at Naruto, the blond now beside him, Sasuke eased closer to the other, he'd seen his bike jerk a bit earlier, instantly telling him that with whatever modifications the other teen had made to his bike, they also had some consequences. They were close, but all he needed was a tire length between them and there would be no question as to who won. While some people tended to use enhancers, like nitrous oxide, Sasuke never did. Those were cheap, and a real racer didn't need them, not to mention that on his bike it would be just plain stupid to do so anyway. His car, however, had a back up of it, knowing that half the people who raced cars tended to use it, simply because they didn't know better.

"Hn." He smirked, easing himself over just a bit more, enough so that he bumped against the other bike, his own only jolting slightly before he righted himself. Crouching even lower, the air moving over him much more quickly, Sasuke added a bit more gas, pulling ahead of Naruto again as the line on the ground came into view. It was just a few seconds away now.

As soon as he saw the Uchiha edge closer, Naruto knew something bad was about to happen. As the black Ninja neared, he tried to get them further apart. How the hell could he know—, but it was too late to focus on how with his bike trying to tilt over on him at the moment.

Letting out a string of curses, the blond forcibly righted his motorcycle again, but not without severely distancing himself from Sasuke. "Shit!" he spat out, hitting the top of the bike angrily even as he tried to regain some of the distance between them. You didn't lose until you were on the other side of the finish line, so he hoped that his raw determination would help him somehow.

Smirking, Sasuke slowed down a bit, allowing himself to lean to the left, then the right a few times before crossing the finish line, Naruto not but two seconds behind him. He continued on for about fifty feet before throwing his back tire out and kicking up a large cloud of smoke as well as leaving a thick, black, half circle on the cement under his bike before stopping. Suigetsu was at his side in a matter of seconds, even as he knocked the kickstand down and pulled off his helmet.

Blue-black locks splayed over his vision, and the cool night air felt amazing against the back of his neck as he climbed off his bike, hearing people cheering now that his ears weren't cushioned. He reached into his pocket to turn off his iPod while popping the ear bud out and tucking it in.

"…Fucking amazing." Suigetsu was talking to him but he hadn't really been paying attention, rather the dark eyes were set on watching the orange bike as it neared the Inuzuka's bright red car once more. While most people would have thought that he ran well, really, he had been bored, that is, until Naruto had caught up to him. He would have to make sure to show the other his gratitude later.

Juugo patted his shoulder lightly, the larger man gaining the raven's attention. "Glad you're safe," he stated before pulling his hand back. Sasuke gave him a nod before turning back around as more people quickly gathered around him.

Shoving Kiba's arm away angrily from where the other came to pat him on the back, Naruto huffed loudly as he yanked off his helmet, tossing it to the ground. He jerked the kickstand of his bike into place and swung his leg off, immediately starting towards where he could see people gathering their "winner." That just pissed the blond off more.

He wasn't sure what made him angrier, the fact that the Uchiha shamelessly exploited his weakness, or that the fucker won because of it, or that he lost a fucking good chance at getting Sasuke wherever he wanted him. Wasn't sure, but didn't care, all that mattered now was socking that fucking asshole in his sexy face.

Naruto yanked and pushed people out of his way as he cut through the crowd and towards Sasuke, who turned around just as he got there. Taking only a second to do so, the blond reared his fist back and punched the raven solidly in the face, seething afterwards as he glared at the other. "What the hell, huh? Can't win with just speed? Gotta ruin other people's fucking bikes?" he groused out loudly, voice coming out rough from anger.

Smirking as he turned back to face the fuming blond, Sasuke let his tongue glide along his lower lip, lapping up the blood that was trying to run down his chin from the cut Naruto re-opened for the second time. Sasuke chuckled softly, "You're not pissed about your bike, or about losing." He stepped closer, dark eyes lifting up slightly as Naruto was about two inches taller than he was. "I think you're pissed about the sex." His lips curled up more.

He could see the fury swirling in the crystal depths, and with the way the tanned chest was heaving, Naruto clenching his fists at his sides, he knew he was right, and that thought excited him, his own pulse jumped. Most people simply got pissed because they lost, more so because they were trying to showoff rather than actually trying to show the fact that they had skills, that they were just as good as he was. Naruto was different; he was trying to prove to him that he was good, that he had the skills.

"There's not a scratch on your bike." He leaned in a bit closer. "I saw your weakness and used it against you." He stepped back, tongue darting out to catch the blood again. "At least you finished." He chuckled again, giving the blond a subtle nod, silently telling him to give him everything that he had.

If there was one thing Naruto hated more than being bored, it was people knowing him better than he knew himself, and Sasuke was trying to prove himself psychic.

He heaved out a breath, eyes narrowing more as he glared at the Uchiha. "I—you… that's not the point here!" the blond growled out. "Of course I finished! I woulda won if you hadn't pulled that little stunt! Both of them actually!"

Stepping forward, Naruto went for another punch, this time to the Uchiha's gut. Though he knew the other would see it coming and would probably block or something else asshole-ish—which he specialized in, but he didn't care.

It was rather amusing to see the anger build in the blue orbs, even as the clear want for him swirled around with it as well. He could see that Naruto was being pulled between two extremes, and while he was fighting one, he was allowing the other to clearly push through. Which was why when the other teen moved to punch him, he stepped back, allowing the power of the punch to pull Naruto forward before he slipped closer to the blond again, turning in a half spin to land his elbow into the tanned side, right about where Naruto's fist would have hit him.

He smirked. "Both huh?" He licked his lips slowly, a raven brow arching as Naruto coughed from the blow. "Mm, I only asked because I never got to finish, so technically…" He leaned in even closer, pale lips lightly brushing against the soft skin of a lobe. "I've never had sex on a bike while it's moving." He whispered the words close to the bronzed earlobe, his breath fanning softly against it before pearly canines dragged lightly along the skin, tugging on the metal before Sasuke stepped back. "Though I guess it doesn't matter now…"

Naruto let out another rough cough, wiping the side of his mouth as he straightened, turning to level a glare at the Uchiha. He'd never been so pissed off in his life, nor so turned on even if it was a different type of arousal. The type of arousal that snuck up on you slowly and burned much longer.

His breath huffed out in a couple of pants before he leapt on Sasuke, throwing him backwards as he had in their earlier fight, but instead of punching him, he just pinned his wrists above his head and glared down. Blue eyes narrowed a little more at the smirk that seemed to live on the raven's lips whenever Naruto saw him.

Suigetsu was shouting as well as fighting against Juugo's hold again. Karin was merely cursing and shouting from the sidelines as were a few more girls, the guys just mostly entertained on what should be a good fight.

"What is with you? You lead me on, then piss me off and then go through the whole fucking cycle again," Naruto nearly spat out, shifting his weight to grind the Uchiha more into the ground beneath him.

Once he caught the air that had been knocked out of his lungs from the sudden tackle, Sasuke licked his lips, still tasting blood, dark orbs lifting up to take in the crystal blue ones locked on him. It didn't matter that there was a crowd around them, that most of the guys were cheering on a fight, while most girls were either envying the blond for sitting on Sasuke as he was, or hating him for touching what they wanted. It was all too amusing, enough that he couldn't help but chuckle even more, the sound of it only loud enough for Naruto and possibly Suigetsu who had paused in his struggling when he noticed that the raven wasn't angry.

"You're much more amusing than the others." Sasuke twisted his wrists in the strong hold, feeling the twinge of pain as his veins were pulled from one side to the other, a purple bruise almost instantly forming. He could feel the skin of his back that had been exposed from under his jacket and shirt rub against the concrete. "And you can't deny that you're not enjoying it too." To prove his point, pale hips arched upwards into the hardening appendage, and with the action he pulled a wrist free, only to punch Naruto square in the jaw, where one of his earlier blows had landed.

There was a loud cheer from the crowd when the blond was knocked off balance and Sasuke instantly rolled them over, sitting on top of the other just as he had him. "Kick his fucking punk ass, Sasuke!" Suigetsu struggled a bit, but was more flailing in excitement than anything, and while he was focused on the punches being thrown, Juugo noticed what the white-haired teen did not.

Grunting loudly from hitting the ground as he was rolled over, Naruto glared up with one eye, the other closing in a wince from the pain now pulsing along that side of his face. "Good to know that my constant confusion on how I should approach you is funny," he groused, easing his other eye open.

Bringing his knees up quickly, he jammed them against the Uchiha's back, forcing him to roll forward as Naruto rolled back. "I'm not enjoying myself. Enjoying myself would mean I got to fuck your ass after kicking it," he breathed out, stumbling slightly from unsure footing. The blond straightened and instantly went to kick the Uchiha in the chest before the other had fully gotten to his feet as well. He then wrenched the limb away quickly so that it couldn't be used against him.

Once he was on his feet again, even after the blow to his chest, Sasuke growled low in his throat. He had expected the blond to fight back, but being taken off-guard was another thing. He hadn't had time to block, with having the air knocked out of him. But if the blond wanted a fight, then he'd get a fight. "If you…" He pulled in a breath, still trying to fill his lungs from both hits Naruto managed to get in. "…want this ass," dark orbs lifted up through the veil of blue-black bangs, "you'll have to try harder." He lunched forward with his fist, and when the other teen dodged, he kneed him in the gut.

It seemed that the crowd was enjoying this almost as much as the race, since there were bets being taken on who would win, though really it was fair game. Naruto had more muscle mass that the Uchiha, but Sasuke was faster than the blond, and both could take one another's hits well. Though this time there wasn't anyone around to stop them, Suigetsu was much more into watching Sasuke kick the crap out of the other teen, and Kiba had been pushed back out of the tightly packed bodies.

Doubling over from the kick, Naruto gasped and turned to glare darkly at the Uchiha before raising up to throw a punch. It was blocked like he knew it would be so he threw his other fist, catching Sasuke in the jaw before the other could pull back.

He received a hit to his own face in return, but he rolled with it, using the momentum to get a kick into Sasuke's side. "Hah," the blond started, breath rasping through his parted lips. "Trying hard is what I'm known for." He grinned, even as he was hit again.

Snorting, Sasuke ducked under the next kick, spinning as he did so and catching the back of a tanned knee. He pulled his leg back, jerking Naruto's out from under him at the same time, the muscled frame thrown off-balance. "You're not known here." The crowd agreed with him, cheering and mocking the blond as he climbed back onto his feet. Sasuke didn't give him much time to do anything other than stand, giving the other teen the same courtesy as he had been given himself, he threw another punch to a whiskered cheek, landing the blow before Naruto came back on him, hitting him in the side as well.

He stepped back to pull in a few quick breaths, a pale hand lifting to wipe the blood away from the corner of his mouth, a smirk tugging at the raven's lips once more. "I just might give you another chance." He straightened, blood pumping quickly through his veins. Not even Suigetsu could make him feel this way, could get him as hard as he was now. "I'll even up your prize."

Throwing himself up from where he'd had to catch his fall using his hands, Naruto spat to the side, wiping at his own mouth afterwards as he watched the Uchiha. The crowd was getting annoying, but he tried to keep that off his mind. It wasn't like being the underdog was new to him or anything and it made it more satisfying to wipe those smart-ass grins from their faces later.

"Hmm, I'll think on it," the blond replied with a haughty smirk, though there was no actual backing in his brain for not accepting the hot raven's offer up front.

Naruto stepped up to throw a punch, readying his leg in case the other ducked. Adrenaline polluted his system, keeping him from getting tired or feeling the pain he'd otherwise be suffering from. He was excited, to say the least, in every meaning of the word. Sasuke was definitely the toughest opponent he'd had in a while as well as the hottest.

When Naruto threw the next punch, Sasuke blocked it with his own arm, knowing the other would more than likely grab his wrist when he did so, though it didn't matter much as he used his other arm to throw his own punch which landed against Naruto's exposed ribs. "I'm sure you will," he practically purred the words against a tanned lobe before pulling himself back.

Stepping forward from where he'd been knocked aside by the punch to his ribs, Naruto threw another fist to catch the damn Uchiha bastard in the lip, making sure that cut stayed open. "You're so confident that I'll stay the drooling little puppy following your ass around," he grinned, tossing his head at an angle in a crude nod, "It really pisses me off."

Sasuke sucked his lip into his mouth, pulling a bit of the blood in before spitting it out as he stepped up to Naruto, fisting the blond's red t-shirt. He yanked the other teen closer to him before allowing his hands to unclench, though his nails were pressed and were dragged down the taunt skin underneath. "You can't tell me you don't want my ass." He couldn't help but smirk, fingers trailing down over the blond's hardened cock in his jeans. "Not when you're this hard." He squeezed the base of Naruto's erection, grinding his own against a tanned thigh before he stepped back.

"Just get back to me on that then." He smirked turning away, though as he did so he could see the anger build up in the blue irises, his hands balling into fists.

"You fucking bastard!" Naruto lunged at the Uchiha's back, but before he could reach him, a few sharp snaps sounded, gaining everyone's attention when tires squealed right after, people already scattering to get to their cars knowing just what that sound was, even before someone yelled 'gun!'. The rapid firing grew, coming closer to where they were as two black cars drove through the center of everyone. Sasuke narrowed his eyes seeing the men hanging out of the windows, grins on their faces as they shot at anyone they thought they would hit.

Sasuke turned to look at Juugo and Suigetsu, both of whom had instantly stilled when they had heard the first few shots, then looked back at Naruto, the blond still looking startled. Turning again, he quickly ran over to his bike and hopped on it, tossing his helmet at Juugo before starting his engine and revving it loudly. "Get out of here, they're after me," he ordered, making sure to meet the larger man's eyes before he sped off.

There was no way those men where there for anyone else, and with how the driver was looking around, and the tattoo on the lug's big head... He growled low in his throat, Sasuke stopping when he hit an open area where the driver could clearly see him. If they were going to come after him now, it was fine; at least he was getting somewhere, unlike the agents who had brought him here. He had been lucky to make it this long without being confronted before, but it figured the douche that had arrested him the night before had gone ahead and made a report with his name in it. There were leaks everywhere.

Darting his eyes around as soon as the initial confusion was clearing and spotting a few people down on the ground, Naruto looked for Kiba, hoping the other hadn't gotten caught in it. He winced as he passed by some of the people that had fallen near him, helping one up to get to his friends. Sasuke had already taken off—figures—and so had most of the people with him.

"Hey, dude! Get your ass over here before they drive back around!" Kiba yelled over the people that were still shouting as they climbed into and onto their vehicles. He patted the roof of his car before slipping inside once the blond had turned towards him.

Sprinting towards his bike, Naruto crawled on it after snatching his helmet off the ground from where he'd thrown it. He'd take off for now to make sure he didn't get his own ass shot, but Sasuke and him weren't finished. Though he wished he had his own gun to get those guys back from ruining his Sasuke-ass-kicking time.

Once the driver had spotted him, he smacked the guy hanging out of the passenger's side window, who turned to look back in the car before his eyes were pointed at the Uchiha. He shouted to the other two men in the car, who also turned. Sasuke smirked as he reached down and pulled his katana from his hidden sheath on his bike, keeping it low so the men didn't see it.

The back car caught onto the fact that the one in front was now quiet, but instead of following behind it, it quickly turned around, then began to make a large circle, the men inside shooting at whoever they spotted, one of which was Naruto, as the blond was still close enough to be in their 'way'.

Revving his engine, Sasuke quickly turned himself in a circle until he was facing the car. He waited a moment before taking off towards it, the man behind the wheel telling the others to shoot at him, which they did. Sasuke pulled his front wheel up as he drew closer, growling when he could hear a few of his lines being punctured by bullets. He flipped his katana over in his hand before slamming the front wheel of his motorcycle down on the hood of the car, then continued on up it, jamming the blade into the aluminum of the car and dragging it along behind him as he went over the roof and trunk.

The driver stopped when his shoulder had been cut, shouting at the men to get out as Sasuke climbed off his bike, knowing that his tank had been hit as well. He pulled his key out and shoved it into his pocket as he headed back towards the car and the men now climbing out from it.

"What the hell?" Naruto shouted to himself as bullets whizzed by. Who the hell were these people and what the fuck was their problem?

He ducked down low on his bike, using the heavy machinery beside him to guard him from a few of the stray bullets that were still riddling the air. Hearing Kiba take off, he followed alongside him quickly, shamelessly using the other's car as a shield to keep himself safe. The brunet would get over it.

Hearing more commotion from a different way, Naruto turned out of curiosity, catching sight of the Uchiha starting towards the men with a sword in his grip. Furrowing his brows and rolling his eyes, the blond shook his head and continued alongside Kiba.

Figures that someone as sexy and dangerous as Sasuke would carry trouble with him.

A grin quirked his lips up as he thought about it. This could actually turn out to be fun. He just needed to make a note to get his hands on some kind of weapon bigger than his pocket knife first if he was going to go against guys with guns.

Flipping the katana over in his hand as he brought it up, still walking slowly towards the men running at him, Sasuke didn't take his eyes off the young guy closest to him. He looked slightly afraid, unsure of what to expect from him since he had just sliced through their car. He stepped forward anyway, lifting his gun, which shook slightly as the other guys slowly circled around the raven. The other car made a quick turn and headed towards them, honking it's horn to try and distract anyone they could, which just happened to be the guy who was apparently new.

Snorting, Sasuke moved in on him, using the unsharpened side of his katana to knock the gun out of the other's hands before turning around on him and pressing the blade to his throat. He was slightly taller than the guy, so he stepped behind him more, eyeing the other men as he simply stood there. They seemed to be armed well, he could see handguns pressed under their belts, and one also had a sword, though, with the car rapidly approaching, and probably another on the way, or a van, there was no telling what he was up against.

Driving by a pile of industrial trash, Naruto noticed a very long and decently large pipe sticking up from the junk. Slowing down, he yanked it out before turning, stopping his bike as he sat and pondered a moment. Was he actually going to fucking do this? Was he really that reckless and crazy and stupid?

"Hell yeah I am," the blond answered himself, revving his engine as he took off after the car that was now heading back towards the Uchiha.

The vehicle arrived before him and the men were quickly getting out in order to provide backup for their comrades who were already having a rough time.

Grin pushing up both cheeks, Naruto narrowed his eyes, letting his arm dangle the pipe along the ground, small sparks flying up from metal meeting concrete. As soon as the men were looking up towards the sounds of the bike that had originally been driving away, the teen pulled back the pipe and swung it hard, catching two guys with the momentum of his swing plus the speed he was going. Blood spattered in the air from the blow, some landing along the blond's arm.

When the second car arrived with backup, the men from the first quickly took action, though it was slightly unexpected that the driver from the first car simply shot the kid that Sasuke had pinned against himself, before his face was smashed in with a pipe. Sasuke turned his head, catching a glimpse of the blond on his bright orange bike driving past, then slowing down and turning for another pass by. What are you doing? He turned back in time to see the larger man from the second car come at him with a bat, which he quickly dodged and hit him in the gut with his elbow as he dodged a blow from one of the other men.

Turning around and flipping over the fat man's back, he threw out his leg to kick the next one in the face while brining his blade up to catch the next guy in the neck, blood flying out everywhere and spraying him as well as the two men behind him. He crouched when another tried to tackle him, then brought his blade around to come into contact with the muscle on the back of his leg. Sasuke couldn't help but scoff in somewhat amusement when another man told the others to not kill him.

Biting his lip in enjoyment, Naruto caught another guy in the head just before he'd gone to shoot at Sasuke. Heh, just saved your life, he gloated with a grin in the Uchiha's direction.

He ducked just in time for a katana to graze over his head. Wh-what the f—katanas?! This was definitely getting serious... or ridiculous, both seemed to fit the situation at the moment.

Well Kiba had mentioned something about the Yakuza, Naruto just never thought he'd been serious.

Jumping off his bike and resting it on his side as quickly as he could manage, the blond ran back into the fray, which had gotten considerably smaller since he last looked at it. He pulled his helmet off and turned to toss it back towards his bike. Facing forward again, he realized he'd turned his head just in time to see a smaller man dive at him and he leaped over the other with a clipped shout, landing on his feet and twisting around to land a heavy, metal blow to the guy's skull.

He jerked his head around to make sure nobody else was coming out of nowhere before he continued towards Sasuke.

After turning to see another guy get smacked in the side of the head with a metal pipe, Sasuke narrowed his gaze, deciding that he wasn't going to play around anymore, not that he was, but that had been close. Turning sharply, Sasuke undercut the next guy, slicing through his arm just above his elbow, the man flailing his nub-of-an-arm around, spraying him with blood before falling to the ground to find his lost limb. A smirk curled onto pale lips when the next guy came at him with a katana, though it was more than obvious that he didn't know how to use it as he was holding it with both arms above his head, ready to bring it down on the top of the Uchiha's skull, but he was stopped short when the already blood coated blade wielded by the raven entered his gut sideways and twisted before it was pulled up quickly, slicing through everything until there was nothing left to cut.

When the man fell over, Sasuke blinked for a second, seeing Naruto on his feet fighting off another guy with a katana, though this one was at least a little bit skilled. He smirked before turning away from the punch that was aimed at his head, rolling himself against the large man's body and grabbing the handgun from his belt where it was hidden against his lower back. He kicked the man over, flipping the safety off and shooting him in the head, followed by the skinny guy who was about to come down against the metal pipe in the blond's hands.

When those blue orbs turned to look at him, Sasuke grinned before shooting the man coming up behind Naruto as well.

After wincing and ducking his head a bit, Naruto whipped around to see just what the smug bastard had shot. He turned back after affirming that the guy that had been taken down would probably have done a bit of damage. So they were even, whatever.

Blue eyes caught onto a man coming up behind the smirking raven. He waited for the Uchiha to notice, but Sasuke's attention turned to the man squirming at his feet, still screaming about how he was now missing an arm.

Thinking quick, he tossed his pipe javelin-style towards the goon that was bringing down his bat and caught him in the eye. The organ was probably forced into the guy's brain stem by the time he fell backwards, droplets of blood hitting Sasuke from behind as he simultaneously flicked his katana through the writhing man's neck below him.

Naruto was the one with the smirk now as he wiped some stray blood from his cheek, nodding once at the Uchiha and raising a brow. Then, hearing a door slam behind him, he turned in time to see a guy sloppily and quickly climbing into a car, hurriedly throwing the vehicle into drive even before he got the door closed and taking off.

Glaring at Naruto, Sasuke took a few steps forward as he raised his arm, aiming the gun and firing, hitting the back tire twice, as well as hitting the gas tank once. It didn't matter how far the fucker would get on just the rim, he was going to run out of gas before then. Lowering his arm, he turned to look at Naruto once more. "What the hell are you doing here?" he growled out, snapping at the other teen's impudence.

Before the blond could answer though, he turned back around to sweep his eyes over the men now littering the ground. There was no way to cover this up, and with how many people had been involved, there was going to be an investigation. As Sasuke narrowed his eyes, he stepped over the still slightly twitching hand of the man he'd shot just a few seconds ago. He jammed his sword down into his back as he passed over, then grabbed the barrel of the gun he was holding in his right hand with his shirt, wiping his prints off of it before turning it and wiping them off of the hilt and trigger, as well as anywhere else he might have touched.

Naruto watched the raven work, a ghost of a wince passing over his face when the other stabbed a guy brutally to finish him off. Then he looked up, face hardening once he'd figured out what he was going to say. "Never mind why I'm here. Obviously, I just saved your ass," he wiped another trickle of blood from his neck, he didn't hurt so it shouldn't be his own. "Why are they after you?" He finished the second question with a wave of his hand, gesturing the bodies around them.
Corpses, had he just seriously killed some people? Now wasn't really the time to worry about that though.
Dropping it on the ground, he walked over to the man with the large pipe sticking out of his skull, his feet twitching sharply as his brain was still somewhat working. He grabbed the pipe with his shirt and pulled, wiping off Naruto's prints before dropping it on the ground beside his head. He really didn't feel like explaining exactly why these men were after him, so instead he just continued doing what he needed to get done so they could leave.
When he turned around, dark orbs moved over the bodies again, double-checking to make sure that he hadn't touched anything else. Getting his bike out of here was another story, though he figured he could drive it until it ran out of gas then park it somewhere he could come get it later.
"We need to get out of here." Sasuke started walking back towards Naruto when he was satisfied that there was nothing left to lead back to them. He pulled his katana from the body, flipping it over once to fling off the excess blood before using his shirt to wipe off the rest.

"Are you even going to bother to answer my question? Which—by the way—I think is a pretty legit one?" Naruto groused, starting to follow the Uchiha as he continued to wipe the blood off him. He hoped none of these guys had some sort of disease, like AIDS.

Still not getting an answer, he stepped forward and reached out to grab Sasuke by the shoulder. He couldn't avoid that as an attention-getter.

When tanned fingers dug into his shoulder, Sasuke turned to look up at Naruto, a scowl on his lips, brows scrunched slightly in annoyance. "You don't need to get involved more than you already are," he snapped. It was bad enough that he had taken a silent interest in the blond, and now Naruto was going to be associated with him once that guy got back to whoever it was who sent him, and then they would be after him as well. He didn't want to explain his life and the things he did to anyone; it was best left untouched anyway. He had grown tired of people's sympathy when he was little, and since most everyone here either hated him or respected him, it made it that much easier to be able to cut ties with everything when he left. An annoyed growl rolled though the pale body as he passed by the other to walk over to his own bike, eyeing the small puddle of gas on the ground beneath it.

He was going to have to have a talk to Kabuto about this since the man was supposed to be on top of these things. He'd have to do that while walking though, since it seemed his brake line had also been hit, there was no way he could drive it now. Reaching into his jacket pocket, wincing slightly as he did so, pain shooting sharply up his side; he pulled out his pack of cigarettes and lighter, pulling two of the tobacco sticks from the package and lighting them both, the nicotine rushing into his system. Muscles seemed to relax a bit more as he dropped his head back, pulling both lit rolls from his lips and separating them.

It was somewhat saddening to see such a good piece of machinery go, but it had to be done, and it wasn't as if he couldn't afford another one anyway. Pulling his sheath out from the scratched up metal it had been hidden behind, Sasuke hooked the strap around his shoulder once he had slid his katana into it. Tossing the lit cigarette down into the puddle, he briskly headed away from his bike and towards the entrance. He'd toss his keys off the pier when he was close to getting home.

Even though Naruto's curiosity screamed at him to know more, the Uchiha did have a point. He'd let it drop for now, but Sasuke was going to have some explaining to do eventually.

Gaze never leaving the raven, he watched the other male light his cigarettes and toss one down, the blond backing away immediately since he could guess what was about to happen. Sure enough, there was an explosion as soon as the fire had reached the tank, fighting against the pressure of the container. Wondering why the hell the other had done that, he looked over at his own bike, hoping nothing had happened to it after he'd left it; it looked okay.

Naruto turned back around and noticed that the Uchiha had kept walking, which didn't make sense when there was a perfectly able-bodied driver with his own vehicle right here. "Hey," he spoke up, jogging after Sasuke to catch up to him, he patted the other on the back as he continued his offer with a grin and jerked his thumb back towards his own bike, "Why're you walkin', princess? I'd be more than happy to give you a ride." He could let their earlier differences slide for the time being, provided that Sasuke didn't suddenly feel the need to be a total asshole in return to Naruto's kindness.

Pulling the cigarette from his lips, the smoke trailing out from between them, Sasuke eyed Naruto, then the tanned hand resting on the back of his shoulder. He narrowed his gaze, having punched the other teen earlier that day for the same nickname, and while it was tempting to do so again, he bit his cheek. "Don't call me that again, dobe," he growled again, torn between taking the blond up on his offer and simply walking and calling Juugo, whom he knew wouldn't have gone too far.

Blowing the rest of the smoke out from his lungs, Sasuke glanced over at the fireball that used to be his bike, then over at the orange one lying on its side. A raven brow twitched before he quickly lifted the strap for the sheath over his head, hooking it around himself so it wouldn't need to be adjusted later. "Alright," he agreed, though he growled, knowing that he was going to have to ride sitting behind the blond. "Just get me to downtown," he added as they both headed towards the downed motorcycle.
