A/N: See? It didn't take forever to update this time! Maybe it's because I've been wanting to post this chapter for soooo long. Congrats, we're officially at a NH party! Woooo! This and the next chapter will be taking place there. I'm sooo happy! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any singing otters (thank God.)

-------

Sasuke opened the door to his apartment. His eyes immediately flew to where his brother lay on the couch, chomping away at a box of Wafflecrisp. "Oniisan!"

Itachi looked up from his feast. "Hey, little one. How're you?"

Sasuke shrugged. "Eh. You?"

"Exhausted," Itachi replied, almost letting the Wafflecrisp box slip from his fingers. "I did some training. It seems I've almost got my sharingan back, but I used up all of my chakra."

Sasuke sighed. "Poor oniisan." He sat next to his brother on the couch and proceeded to take off the scarf he was wearing. Itachi glanced at him and fell over on the floor, obviously playing around.

"I went out with Tsunade," Sasuke announced. This caused Itachi to sit up, and Sasuke smirked. "Seems she said I'd have to pay for my medical bill by ice skating with her. She has a thing for bishis." He sighed again. "I fell down three times while skating, all on my right knee. I even skidded for about seven feet, but Tsunade (the little witch) said she'd heal everything except for my knee." Sasuke shook his head, nursing his raw knee.

Itachi laughed, lying back down. "That's just like Tsunade." He glanced up at his brother. "Your knees okay?"

"Except for my right, perfect," Sasuke replied, grabbing some bandages from his pack and wrapping up his knee.

"That's good. Do you need me to bandage it or put some ointment on it?"

"I'm fine," Sasuke replied, indicating the already wrapped knee. "And no pills or surgery, although you might want to look into that for yourself…"

"Why?" Itachi demanded, sitting up.

Sasuke smirked. "Let's just say Kisame's a pretty big gossip." He glanced down at his brother and shook his head playfully.

"What'd he say?" Itachi demanded. "Was he drunk? Again?"

Sasuke stared at Itachi. "Neji's parties are epic," was all he said.

Itachi sighed and flipped back onto his back. "Do you know when he's having another one?" He started flipping Wafflecrisp pieces across the room, where they smashed against the wall.

"Sometime soon," Sasuke replied, watching the Wafflecrisps. "Why? You wanna get in on the action?"

"Well," Itachi began, flicking two pieces this time. "I did promise that I would give you a piggy back to the next one, didn't I?" He turned to face his brother.

Sasuke laughed. "But can you? Are you fit enough, old man?"

Itachi's expression darkened. "I'M NOT AN OLD MAN!! I'm just older than you."

Sasuke smirked, flipping on the couch so he was upside down and his head was hanging off into space. "Which makes you an old man." He flicked Itachi's nose.

Itachi had a small spasm when Sasuke flicked his nose. Sasuke knew that bugged him. It had since they were small. Rubbing his face like a cat, Itachi said, "No. Do you want me to give you a piggy back ride or not?"

"Yes!" Sasuke exclaimed, kicking his leg in the air and almost falling off the couch.

"Then don't argue."

"Fine," Sasuke agreed, playing with a lock of his black hair. "Neji's got a party going on now. Wanna stop by? All the usual suspects should be there."

Itachi pretended to hesitate for a moment. "Sure."

"Yay!" Sasuke kicked again, and this time he did fall off, right onto Itachi. Itachi rolled over and shoved Sasuke off, poking him in the forehead. "But remember my chakra is low," Itachi continued, as if nothing had happened.

"That's okay," Sasuke replied, picking up some of the Wafflecrisp shards. "It's better if you can't tell what everyone's doing. Trust me. Using the sharingan is enough to give you a massive headache at one of these things." Sasuke sighed. "So, to Neji's, oniisan?"

"Yeah. We can go," Itachi responded.

"Yay!" Sasuke hopped onto his brother's back.

Itachi shifted Sasuke to make it more comfortable. "You can stay, but I'm gonna probably have to leave early."

"AWW!" Sasuke groaned. "But you gotta stay for a little bit!"

"Oh, I will," Itachi assured him, bursting into a brisk run.

"I love piggy back rides, oniisan!" Sasuke said, apparently reverting to his younger self whenever he was being given a piggy back ride. He hugged Itachi's neck.

"As do I, Sasuke," Itachi replied, laughing. "And I'll hug you when you get down."

"Awww!" Sasuke protested. "But I love hugging your neck!"

"Fine," Itachi replied. "You can hug my neck. Just don't strangle me."

"Awwww!" Sasuke smirked. "How far is Neji's?" He looked down at Itachi. "Man, for an old man, I've surprised you can run!"

Itachi growled and ran faster. "WEEE!" yelled Sasuke.

"Not…that…far…" Itachi said through clenched teeth.

Suddenly, an otter flipped itself along next to Itachi and Sasuke. They both turned to stare at it. "Just around the river bend!" the otter sang. "Waiting just around the river b-" The otter was no more.

"I thought you couldn't Mangekyou?" Sasuke asked his brother.

"I can't anymore. That was my last one. But it was worth it."

Sasuke nodded in agreement. He would be haunted for days. "Mush, oniisan, mush!"

"I don't mush," Itachi replied through grit teeth.

"But you run as if you're an OLD MAN! What if I string Wafflecrisp in front of your face?" Sasuke asked, hatching what he thought was a brilliant plan.

"Then I will stop running."

Sasuke sighed. "I never realized how far Neji's is. I always teleport…."

"Well I need to get my strength back," Itachi replied.

"That works!" Sasuke suddenly exclaimed. "Work those buns! GO GO GO! GO!!! RIDE! SHOW YOUR STUFF!" Luckily, Itachi chose that moment to come to a dead halt in front of Neji's house. This, of course, saved the neighborhood from hearing Sasuke's rendition of the Naruto Theme Song. However, the music radiating from the house would have drowned him out anyway.

Suddenly, Itachi collapsed to the floor, his hands going to hold his head.

"Oniisan!" Sasuke slipped down next to him. "You okay?"

Itachi shook his head. "Massive migraine. The music is too loud."

Sasuke laughed at his brother. "Neji's got epic parties. I told you you'd have a headache. It's natural for the first comers to get one. Just ask Tsunade to heal you when you get inside." Leaning against the door, Sasuke opened it slowly. "And welcome, Itachi…to your first…Neji Hyuuga party!" He flung the door open.

Within that one small millisecond, Itachi was suddenly smacked by a brick wall of music, lights, talking, strobe lights, and the unmistakable smell of sake. Finding his way to his feet, he leaned against the wall of the house. He found himself vibrating with the music.

Suddenly, Neji stumbled up towards the brothers, obviously drunk. "H-hey, Sasuke! I didn't know you'd bring Itachi!" He hiccupped loudly.

"Hey, Neji," Sasuke responded, stepping towards the host. "Yeah. He's ready for his first NH party."

Itachi's eyes widened. "What have I done?"

Neji glanced up at Itachi. "Ah. So you have the famous NH headache. That's fine. Tsunade can help you." A devilish grin spread its way across his face.

Itachi looked down at the two boys. "The looks on your faces aren't reassuring."

"Well, you see, there's kinda this…initiation thing. It's okay. Nothing to worry about. TSUNADE!" Neji yelled, attempting to distract Itachi.

Tsunade made her slow way over. "Neh? What'd you want, kiddo?" She pinched Neji's cheek.

Neji pointed at Itachi. "NH headache."

Itachi sighed. "Wouldn't the headache just come back?"

Tsunade smirked and shook her head, placing her hand on Itachi's forehead. "Don't worry, hun. I'm good at this sort of thing. Besides, once you've had an NH headache, it doesn't come back."

Sasuke faked tears as Tsunade healed him, and Neji patted him on the back. "My brother…" Sasuke sobbed. "All grown up!"

Itachi fell over as Tsunade did her work. "All better."

Sasuke looked curiously at his brother. "Itachi?" he poked him. "You okay, Itachi?"

Neji sighed and handed Itachi a drink. "This'll help. I promise."

Itachi narrowed his eyes at the glass. "Something tells me you spiked that drink." Neji smiled mischievously and whistled idly. Itachi turned to Sasuke. "And I'm not gonna do that initiation thing."

Sasuke looked hurt. "Aw! But Kisame did! We all did! You should have seen Neji! It was hilarious!"

"Well Kisame can be an idiot sometimes."

"Naruto did it!"

Itachi narrowed his eyes. "And that's supposed to convince me."

Sasuke sighed. "Want to at least come in?"

Itachi stared at the wall he had been clinging to. "I thought I was already inside. Hence my hand was on the wall?"

Sasuke burst out laughing. Hitting his brother playfully on the back, he replied, "No! Please! NH's home is huge!" He shook his head, leading Itachi into the first room of Neji's house. "Now you're in party room one!" he shouted above the music. "There's five of them in totally, each one better than the rest!"

Neji smirked, pushing Sasuke aside. "My game's in room four. It's great."

Sasuke laughed and shoved Neji. "C'mon! You musta run out of colors by now!"

Itachi, however, was not amused. He was holding his head, even though it didn't hurt. "Which room's the quietest?" he asked the two. Neji and Sasuke gave him blank stares. "Incase my headache comes back, I need a quiet place. Or…um…how would I get to a quiet place?" Itachi tried again.

"Um…by leaving the city?" Neji laughed at his own responses.

Sasuke shook his head disapprovingly. "C'mon, oniisan! It's not that bad! Besides, one NHH and you're fine! Completely cured!"

"Well when you live in a cave and have to hear echoes all day…" Itachi trailed off.
He sighed at Sasuke's response. "Well, I've got a normal headache then."

"Good point," agreed Sasuke to Itachi first point. He scowled at the second. "Hm. That's odd."

Suddenly, Sasuke was glomped from behind by a random person in black. "Yes, quite odd, un!"

Deidara smiled at Itachi over Sasuke's shoulder. He shifted so his head was on Sasuke's. "I'm normally not this far out, un. Normally room three at least, yeah. But I heard you were here, Itachi-san, yeah. So I came out, un!" Deidara explained, snuggling against Sasuke's hair.

Just then, Itachi recognized the man. "Deidara?" he asked, seeing the blonde. Deidara smirked at him. "Wazzup, man?" His eyes shifted to Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun!" he exclaimed. "Long time no see, un! You missed the last NH, un!" He and Sasuke proceeded to do the SNHHS (Secret Neji Hyuuga Hand Shake), leaving Itachi quite bewildered.

Sasuke looked over at Itachi, upon whose face was plastered a look of utter shock. "Deidara and I are friends, Itachi," Sasuke explained.

Deidara smirked, leaning towards Itachi. "Come into the deeper rooms, Itachi-san, un! It's better in the other rooms, yeah!"

Neji smirked and used his Byakugan to read the clock behind him. "Ah! It's almost game time!"

Sasuke jumped up and down. "Oo! Let's let Itachi guess it this time!"

"Yeah! The new guy, un!" Deidara yelled, hugging Itachi with the one arm that was still attached. The group slowly shifted Itachi into the second room through much strength, encouragement, distractions, and effort.

"No! No games for Itachi!" Itachi declared, turning around once they were in the room.

"C'mon, Itachi-san!" Deidara exclaimed, hitting him with his right arm (His left arm was nowhere to be seen). "It'll be fun, un!" Suddenly Deidara spotted someone on the other side of the room. "KISAME-SAN, UN!" He yelled as loudly as he could using the mouths on his hands to back up his noise. Several people threw glances his way.

"C'mon, Kisame-san!" Deidara screamed. "We're gonna play the game, un!" This apparently got Kisame's attention, as he followed them into the room.

At the sound of this, Neji struck a feminine and seductive pose.

Itachi shook his head, terrified. "No!"

Kisame smirked. "You're not going to leave us after you just got here!"

"B-but I'm not in the game playing mood!" Itachi protested, desperate for excuses now.

Sasuke ignored him. "C'mon, Itachi! You've gotta! It's that, or you let me go into the hardcore rooms without an escort! Remember my other stories…" He smirked.

Kisame laughed. "Did you tell him everything?"

Sasuke shook his head. "Just the basics. Not going in too deep for the sake of his sanity." They had managed to push Itachi into the third room.

Kisame nodded approvingly. "Ah. That's a good idea."

Deidara smirked, clutching Itachi. "Almost there, un!"

"NOOOO!" Itachi yelled, flailing madly to attempt to loosen Deidara's grip on his shoulder. "No games! You can't make me!" He shifted from right to left to try to lose them, but to no avail. Deidara laughed and released Itachi long enough to pick up a drink in his only hand.

"You wanna bet we can't?" Sasuke asked threateningly. "No Mangekyou, remember? We can do whatever we want!"

Itachi stopped dead for a moment before continuing the struggle. "But I can still fight and struggle!"

"It's four on one, oniisan."

It was at that moment that the group made it into room four. The moment they burst through the door, Neji let out a loud holler. "IT'S GAME TIME, EVERYONE!" Everyone in the room suddenly stormed towards Neji, blocking any hope Itachi had had of escaping.

"YAY!" Sasuke yelled, leaping slightly. "ITACHI, YOU GO FIRST!"

Itachi wasn't quite sure what was going on. He wasn't sure where he was, whose hand was on his shoulder, or who was flicking his ponytail. In that moment, all he knew what that quite suddenly and very disturbingly, Neji was shaking his little Hyuuga butt in Itachi's face.
