Chapter 2

Naruto was absolutely sure that he just took the longest shower in the history of his 21 years of life. He's been standing under the full blast of cold water ever since he got off the phone from Shikamaru almost three hours ago. He needed the cold shower to cool off his head, said he to himself. But apparently the cool off action has turned into a futile drowning action.

Naruto was not going to blame Shikamaru for his wrinkled body because he knew that the young manager was only doing his job. He and his team-mates were the most important assets of Konoha FC. Of course Shikamaru would call them - on daily basis if he needs to - to make sure that they were okay. Beside, lately everything seemed to trigger his memory of that damn penalty! So, Shikamaru's phone call had nothing to do with his half-hearted suicidal effort.

Let himself out of the bathroom with only a towel tugged on his hips, the blonde walked straight toward his huge walk-in closet to snatch a pair of orange cotton boxer. Clad in his favorite boxer and nothing more, Naruto strolled into the kitchen to grab one bottle of cold beer from two-door stainless steel refrigerator before ending his journey at the living room of his penthouse that was decorated with newest generation of home entertainment products and comfortable dark brown leather chairs. Grabbed the remote control from the small coffee table, Naruto then take a seat on one of the chair and turn on the telly.

"…already here with us in the studio, our well-known pundits and experts who I'm sure didn't need any introduction at all, Mr. Hayate Gekkou, the ex defensive midfielder of Konoha FC, and Mr. Baki, the ex center back and ex manager of Suna FC."

"This evening we're going to see the footage of the best action, the greatest goals, the greatest saves, the shocking moments and the juiciest dramas of the latest season of Premiership that had just finished last week, and then of course have a discussion about them. We're also going to talk about the astonishing result of the FA Cup Final. On the contrary of everyone prediction, Seireitei FC had snatched the FA Cup under the nose of Akatsuki FC with three goals to one!

"So stay tune with us here in the special edition of 'Football Craze' with me Lee Rock and my lovely partner…"

"Sakura Haruno. We'll be right back after the break."

Still in a very tender mental condition, Naruto realized that he shouldn't watch the show. Nine out of ten of the possibilities, they would talk about the penalty but, curiosity was tickling him. He wanted to know whether any of his goals or his actions in the pitch was included in the Top 10 list. Who could blame him for that, right? Therefore against his better judgment, the young striker turned the volume even louder.

"Hello there, back again with us here in special edition of 'Football Craze.' So, all the cards were already on the table. The results had revealed. Konoha got the League Cup, Seireitei got the FA Cup and Oto got the biggest prize of all, the Premiership - for second time in a row if I may add. Your impression of the latest season, gentlemen?"

"Fantastic, Lee. The competition was fierce. It feels like I've been riding a giant roller coaster the whole season!"

"Yup, I feel very much the same, Hayate, especially when I saw the rivalry between the big four. The point differences between them were so damn tight. The farthest was 5; otherwise it was only 1 or 2 or even level. And it happened from the start of the season till the end! Oto was on top of the table at the earliest weeks, then Akatsuki hold them in that dramatic draw, gave Konoha their chance to be on top for five weeks before Seireitei again beat them and snatch the top position from Konoha. But then next week would be a different story and other team would take top position. Every week of that season was full of surprises, so it really was an amazing… fantastic season!

"Do you really think that Oto FC deserve their crown, Hayate?"

"Sakura, I believe every team that played in the latest season deserves that crown. They had shown determination, willpower, spirit, strength, and courage. But this is a competition. You need to be the best of the best to win. And yes, last season Oto was the best. That was the reason they got to keep the crown for another year."

"I think what Sakura intended to ask you, Hayate, whether you think that Konoha deserve that crown more than Oto."

"((laughing)) Are you trying to ask where I put my loyalty here, Lee? Well, no need to ask really, it's still and always will be with Konoha. But I have to admit that for the last couple of seasons, Oto was simply the best."

Naruto winced a bit when he heard one of the senior players of Konoha FC admitted in national television no less that Oto FC was better than their team. But there's no use to deny it anyway, if he was the best at that time he shouldn't… Stop it! The blond forced himself to halt any thought about… you know what… and put his attention back to the show.

"Now, let's take a look of some of the best actions, goals, and saves that had been assembled by our 'Football Craze' staff."

The player that showed by the first footage was fast. He stepped over the ball many times in inhumanly speed; evaded any challenge attempts from the opponent to steal the ball from his feet before finally kicked a superb through ball to the striker upfront.

"Gai is a brilliant attacking midfielder. Usually when he uses that technique - he called it Renge - he's unstoppable. I mean just look at that speed. One, two, three… six step over under one second, it was lightning!"

"I couldn't agree more, Hayate. Gai Maito without a doubt is a great player and Renge is one of the reasons why he's my favorite player of all time!"

"Ahhh, that's why you cut your hair in the same style as his, I take it."

"You got that right, Baki! His sense of style is so cool!"

Naruto was laughing so hard. Baki's expression after he heard Lee's full-spirit praise of Gai's sense of style was priceless! The young striker couldn't help wondering how on earth Hayate and Sakura were not rolling on the floor laughing at the moment but, nevertheless one or two snickers escaping their lips.

The action in the second footage was simply breathtaking. A long beautiful cross was coming from the right side of the pitch. A tall player with long white hair that was just too beautiful too be true jumped into the air like an angel then strike that perfect ball with the left side of his head straight into the left corner of the opponent goal.

"Now that was what we called a perfect header! See how high the jump was? The timing? The power? Perfect."

"He is perfect, Baki. Sephiroth is simply… ((daydreaming))"

"It's the hair effect, Sakura… ((snickering)) I'm so sorry… Hey, I'm just kidding! But hair or no hair Sephiroth of Final Fantasy United is one of those strikers who had a deadly header. In fact, he is the best header in the competition."

"Talk about hair effect, Hayate. How about this?"

Another player with long beautiful hair - it was black now - showed in the next footage. His eyes watched the ball that was carried by his opponent firmly and then in one swift motion he was sliding in the ground, taking the ball with him, and standing in both feet before turning his body a bit and securing the ball in his possession. All was done so gracefully yet so fast, the opponent didn't even realise what hit him until it was too late.

"Oh… you just love to rub old wounds, Lee! Byakuya Kuchiki is one the best midfielder in the world. What we saw just now is a wonderful example of a brilliant tackle. Except this man real ability is not in defensive department but in the way he orchestrated Seireitei FC's attack. I knew this from personal experience, before my injury forced me to retire. Every time our respective clubs played against each other, the midfield was our war zone. After all, he was the attacking mid and I was the defensive one. Let just say he made my life a living hell each time we met. He beat the crap out of me!"

"Ouch! But Hayate, if Byakuya had managed to beat you, what chance is your replacement, Kiba Inuzuka, has against him?"

"I wouldn't write off Kiba so easily, Sakura. He's a very talented player and he's still young. We haven't seen the best of him yet. So, anything is possible for that lad, including beat one Byakuya Kuchiki."

Proud smile formed in Naruto's face. Even though Kiba can be a real pain in the ass sometimes, he knew that Kiba was one good footballer. Acknowledgment from a senior player was something that he really deserved.

Next footage was coming in the telly and it looked like the 'hair saga' was not done yet. This long haired player was much younger and smaller if compared to the previous two but his without ball movement was awesome. He was running along the left side of the pitch and then driving into the box area to break the defense of the opponent while his eyes watched closely to his tandem's - the one who had the ball - action on the right side. Without warning the short haired striker chopped a very high drop ball near the far left goal post. And just like magic the long haired player was already positioning himself there to strike a short and powerful volley between the goalie right arm and goal post straight into the net.

"What a fantastic strike from an almost impossible angle!"

"Yup, like always Haku's volley is very direct and lethal!"

"But Baki… Hayate… the most lethal thing about that thrilling piece of action we've just seen was the teamwork between Haku and Zabuza Momochi! It feels like they know each other mind so well they able to read their partner next move like they had implant a… a Bluetooth in their brain or something, don't you think?"

"Good observation, lass. Their teamwork is certainly to die for! But there was no implant whatsoever, it was just a mattered of trust, understanding, being unselfish and of course a lot of practice!"

"I'm just joking about the Bluetooth, Baki!"

"How about the collaboration of Sasuke Uchiha – before he left Konoha, and Naruto Uzumaki, Hayate? I used to watch them play in wonder, thinking those lads must have eyes at the back of their head. I bet if we blindfolded them, they still able to tell each other's position just like that. Scary!"

"Now that you mentioned them, Lee, I must say that sometimes I got the same impression too. But the truth is Naruto and Sasuke were played blind football. You can only achieve that when you had been played together for so long. The boys played together for their school's team since they were 8 years old before Konoha FC's talent scout found them 6 years later. In the Konoha Football Academy they were played along side each other for another three years and then got promoted to the first team when Shikamaru took charge and we all know what happened after that, right?"

"Yup, they won their first Premiership in their debut year! Oh, they were so good together! I still couldn't believe it that Sasuke left!"

"Well, you are not the only one, Lee. Furthermore, the reason why he left Konoha was still unknown."

"I wouldn't tell it unknown, Sakura. His father, Fugaku Uchiha, just bought a football club that was mediocre. I mean face it… the last time Oto won the premiership before Fugaku Era was decades ago. And now, the new Oto got the money and they need good player. If I were Fugaku, I certainly am going to ask my son who was happen to be the hottest young striker to play for my club. That must be the main reason!"

"Not so fast, Baki! If it was the main reason then Itachi would played for Oto too instead of Akatsuki. Beside, I'm telling you, Sasuke is a huge fan of Konoha FC! Playing for Konoha is something that he really wanted. That's why his transfer to Oto was unthinkable. There must be something; otherwise he won't be leaving his beloved club so easily."

At the moment Naruto couldn't pay any attention to the show anymore. Hayate's last words stuck on his mind like a spider web. 'There must be something…'

Yeah, Hayate got that right! There must be something… some big reason… that even he who was considered as his best friend had no idea whatsoever. Naruto still remembered how he lost count of how many times he let those words - I don't know or I have no idea - came out of his mouth to answer the questions from journalist, friends and fans regarding Sasuke. He also still remembered that day like it was yesterday…

"Shit! I'm late! Ibiki's going to skin me alive!" yelled Naruto to himself as he walked into the empty locker room of Konoha Training Ground. Taking off his denim jacket as fast as he can, Naruto reached into his locker to grab his boots, shin pads and socks. The sound of door being open distracted Naruto. It made him turned his body facing the door and yelled some more, "Sasuke bastard, you're late too! Ibiki will be furious with both of us!"

"I didn't come here to train. Just need to grab my stuff and leave."

"WHAT? You're going to skip practice? Are you out of your mind?"

"Dobe, I'm leaving."

"Yeah I know you're leaving… you just said that. Where you're going anyway and with whom?" asked the blond, lips outlined his naughty grin. "So, finally there's someone who is able to charm you enough and lure you to skip training? Must be some…"

"Naruto, you heard me wrong," cut Sasuke as he walking toward his locker which located beside Naruto's. "I came here to take my stuff. I've decided to accept Oto's offer."

Naruto couldn't believe his ears and trying to say something but nothing comes out of his mouth. He was speechless. His eyes probed Sasuke's gesture, trying to find any hint that his best friend was only joking but Sasuke never joke. Calmly, the black haired striker began to move his stuff from the locker into his blue carrier. The bastard was fucking serious! He's going to leave for real!

"Why? You already turned down their offer!"

"I've changed my mind."

"B-but… WHY?"

"It's none of your business!"

Naruto had enough. He grabbed Sasuke's arms, pulled that lean body to the left and then pushed it into the locker hard.

BANG!

"You're full of shit, you know that? Like hell it's not my fucking business! You are my partner and we are in the middle of a fucking season! There's no way I can adjusting to other striker in such a short time! You're going to cost us the Premiership!"

"Whether Konoha FC able to defend their title again this season or not is not my concern anymore!"

"Sasuke! What's gotten into you? This is Konoha FC! Our. beloved. team! How many times that we had imagine this? We made a promise when we were nine, remember? Together we're going to play for Konoha… together we're going to win the entire silverware and trophies in football world… and we did some of it, right? We played for Konoha now, we won the Premiership last season, and we're going to win it again this season. Sasuke, please… stick with me! Let's us fulfill our dream together."

Sasuke didn't say anything. He just looked straight into Naruto's blue eyes, and boy… that was cold.

"Get off of me, Naruto."

Realized that he had done everything that he could, Naruto stepped back and released Sasuke. The said man then continued packing his things while Naruto gazed at him silently. Once he was finished, Sasuke walked slowly toward the door and turned his body slightly before bid his farewell, "I'll see you in the pitch, Dobe."

The sounds of high-pitch laughter that came out from the telly brought Naruto's back to reality. Shook his head a bit, he released himself from the past and forced himself to pay attention to the show once more.

"…to play the footage of this very shocking moment that had decided the result of the entire season."

Naruto shifted uncomfortably on his chair for he knew which 'shocking moment' scene that was going to be on air soon. And if he was being smart he knew that he should turn off that damn telly but, he wanted to know the pundits opinion about his failure.

Brace himself by hold tightly on the arms of the chair, Naruto watched the scene that had been haunted his dream for the past two weeks. 'God… just one inch… just one fucking inch…'

"Badmouthing this player's ability based on this performance alone isn't fair. Beside, I still think Naruto Uzumaki is one hell of a football player!"

"Very true, Hayate. He's young, he's fast, not to mention very sharp. Sometimes when you play in a very crucial match, there's a lot of X-factor involved including luck. That lad was unlucky at that time."

"And don't forget about the hat-trick he scored at the final match of the season, Baki! What a brilliant performance!"

"Yup, what a way to answer the critics that he got from the newspapers and the fans after that penalty fiasco. Naruto closed Konoha's campaign this season with a bang! He showed them that Konoha was still here and going to come back next season!"

"But gentlemen… no matter how great the hat-trick was… still, it comes too late."

That was the end of it. Naruto just couldn't take it anymore. Comes too late… yeah… Lee was telling the truth… the hat-trick did come too late!

Grabbed the remote control, Naruto was turned off the TV abruptly. Afterwards he took a deep breath several times, trying to calm himself. It was a very bad idea to watch that show in the first place! He needed more beer.

Get off from the chair slowly, Naruto was shocked by familiar soft voice that greeting him from behind.

"Looking hot, baby."

Turned his body toward the sound, Naruto was shocked even more. There, leaning against the wall of the living room was Hinata Hyuuga, his steady girlfriend for the last 2 years, wearing something that he wouldn't consider as a dress while feasting on his half-naked state. He had no idea how come he didn't hear the clicking sound when she opened the penthouse door or the tapping sound when she walked on the floor with her killer black stilettos but, may he burn in hell… he couldn't take no notice of her now.

How could he when she was wearing that black skimpy brocade-silk dress that was more revealing than covering her voluptuous body? Any designer that custom-made that dress for her should put in jail! Looking at this absolutely breathtaking view in front of him, the blond striker knew that he must be out of his mind if he didn't like what he saw for she was a real beauty. She got smooth fair skin, long black silky hair, big lavender eyes, sexy lips, full breast, narrow waist, round ass, long shapely legs, to put it shortly, Hinata was… perfect and Naruto was… as Kiba, one of his teammates, called him… one lucky bastard.

"No one is hotter than you, doll."

"Hmm… I think you're right," she answered cheekily.

Naruto chuckled as he saw Hinata starting to strike him with her famous pose that made paparazzi flock around her like maniac and made her appear in hundreds of magazine's and tabloid's pages. He was completely aware that Hinata was only teasing him because he knew the real her. He knew exactly what it was underneath of sophisticated and glamorous Lady Hinata Hyuuga, crème de la crème of Konoha high class society: the sweet, loving, and caring Hinata… his beloved. "Come here."

Hinata walked toward his boyfriend then stopped right in front of him. She leaned over to claim Naruto lips before teased him even more, "As you stated earlier,no one is hotter than me, but you are definitely the hottest guy in the pitch."

Suddenly, the mood in that room changed. "I rather become the best penalty taker in the pitch than the hottest player," mumbled Naruto.

It was not a reaction that Hinata wanted. "Argh! Are we going to go back to that misfortune day again?" she asked irritatingly, lips were starting to pout. "I thought you're hiding here from those damn journalists and become anti-social so you can forget about it."

"I'm trying, doll… but I…" Naruto trailed off when he looked at Hinata's expression as she gently stroke his face.

"It's been two weeks already, baby. Please?" she asked pleadingly.

Naruto cupped Hinata's cheek with both of his hands then leaned his forehead against hers. "You're right. I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Hinata pushed Naruto's body backward, forcing him to sit on the leather chair before in a very slow motion slipped her dress from her shoulders and let it slides on the floor. With only black thong clad in her heavenly body, Hinata was gliding on to Naruto's laps. "A distraction, that's what you need."

He was one lucky bastard indeed.
