Description
Sasuke desperately tried to keep up with Naruto, as the blonde was running at an incredible speed for a 9 year old. Naruto, Wait! We’re too young to be walking by ourselves this far away from your house.”

Naruto turned around, his glasses making the burning fire in his eyes burn brighter. “It’s fine Sasuke. No one will care except for our parents. Besides, aren’t I the one who’s supposed to protect you and not the other way around? Go back and leave me alone. ” He muttered.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and stopped him by grabbing onto the azure eyed boy’s wrist. ”Naruto! You’re not acting like yourself. Tell me what’s wrong already. I can’t talk to you if you don’t tell me what’s wrong.”

The blond sighed and glared at Sasuke. “Maybe I don’t want you to know what’s wrong. Ever thought of that?”

“Tch! Naruto, just tell me! I want to help you!” Sasuke growled.

“You can’t! No matter what you do, you can’t! In fact, you will just make it worse!” Naruto screamed, taking back his wrist and running down the road.

Night black eyes widened. The Uchiha was taken aback at his friend’s sudden behavior. After several moments, he recovered and scowled. He caught up with the blond quickly and stopped him once again, not realizing where they were standing. “Make what worse? What can’t I help you with?! Tell me!” He demanded.

Naruto snapped. “You! You’re my problem! ‘Oh look, it’s the psychic boy’s little friend!’ ‘He must be a demon child to be hanging around that witchcrafter!’ ‘It’s Psychic boy’s protector! Stay away from him!’ You! You’re the cause of all this. Don’t ever come near me again, I HATE YOU!” He yelled. His eyes were no longer the color of pure blue skies. They were the color of hot blue flame, burning with contempt. Even the tone he used sounded scornful.

Before Sasuke had a chance to respond, the sound of car wheels screeching to a stop, made it’s way into the air. Sasuke turned around to look at the large headlights that were heading his and Naruto’s way.

“Get out of the way!” Naruto screamed. Sasuke felt a rough push on his chest, and hear the echoing sound of a familiar clattering and something thats sounded liquid spilling onto the ground. Before falling to the ground, a dark aura had appeared, surrounding his blond friend. The aura turned into a misty figure. Deep laughter was the last thing Sasuke heard before hitting the ground. Everything turned black.

Sasuke’s eyes had shot open and he sat up, looking around. Sweat lingered at his temples. His eyes were wide with surprise and caution.

‘Just a nightmare. A stupid nightmare...’ He thought.

A pale hand took the digital clock from the nightstand. Sasuke looked at the time. 6:15.

‘Classes start at 8. Damn... I should hurry. I- Well, more like Itachi wouldn’t want me to be late. I’d rather stay here...’

The clock was put back on the tiny table. The dark haired boy got up from his bed and was about to go into the bathroom before something caught his eye.

A pair of glasses were sitting on the wooden surface of the nightstand.

The sunlight from the window was shining off of the lenses. The item was like a painful memory made into a solid. But it was also some sort of form of happiness that Sasuke had held close to him.

A low chuckle resounded as Sasuke went to pick up the item.

“Almost forgot this. How foolish of me.”

“...aruto...”

“...naruto...”

“...NARUTO...”

“NARUTO!!”

The tan boy shot up from his laying position, a scream erupting from his throat.

“The hell?!”

“Naruto, wake up! You’re gonna be late!” Iruka scolded.

“Huh?”

Iruka sighed, motioning towards the clock next to Naruto.

Naruto glanced at it, only for his eyes to bulge out of his head. 7:30.

“SHIT! Gotta go, I’ll see you in a while, ‘Ruka!”

“Watch your mouth, Uzumaki!” Iruka yelled.

“Blame ‘Kashi!” Naruto singsonged. He could hear a faint ‘hey!’ from the front door of the house as he left.

Naruto had successfully gotten ready in the nick of time and started running towards school, if you call stuffing all your notebooks in your backpack, sticking a piece of bread in your mouth, and trying to tuck in your uniform shirt into your pants while trying to run. ¨Ready”.

Naruto was muttering curses the rest of the way towards his school. Until he smashed his face into a wall. Pain stinging his face, he looked up towards the school. The pain immediately numbed and his jaw was about to drop in shock.

Well, this wasn’t what he expected.

Since the few days that he’d moved to Konoha, the place had sort of a small town look to it. It didn’t give off anything big. He just thought of it as a nice quiet town with barely any children at all. Either his inference was wrong or this place really pampered it’s students.

The school was a very big building, although it only had one floor. There were a few paths that lead to the school, sakura trees and a few benches bordering those paths. Naruto could see a few large spaces outside with benches and tables, ‘Must be where the students go during their free hours.’

“Shit! I’m gonna be late if I keep staring any longer.” Naruto murmured. He burst through the doors and stopped in front of the office. Before the receptionist got to speak, Naruto spoke.

“I’m on time, right?!”

The receptionist blinked before laughing a little. “Yes you’re fine, dear. Don’t worry about it. So who might you be? I haven’t seen you around here.”

A grin was placed on the blonde’s face. “Name’s Naruto Uzumaki! I’m a new student here.”

The woman shuffled through some papers scattered on her desk and murmuring a small ‘Aha!’ before taking out a packet of papers. She handed them to Naruto and quickly returned the smile.

“Okay, so the first paper here is your schedule, your locker combination’s on there in the top right corner, as well as your homeroom teacher. The second paper states the rules we have here in Konoha Academy and the third is a paper to show your teacher if you’re late. This paper is basically like your free pass from getting marked absent but it’ll only work for the next 3 days you’re here. After that, you’re on your own.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem.”

Naruto finally walked away from the receptionist. He walked through the halls, looking through the papers he was given.

A loud bell rang, making the boy jump a little. Students immediately began racing around. Some people ran into specific rooms while, while others had stayed behind a bit before going into one of the rooms. People pushed past him, acting as if he were some kind of ghost (1). He was tossed around the hall, as if he were a ragdoll. By the time, he had recovered from the pushing he had received, the hall was nearly empty. People kept scurrying into the rooms until everyone was gone.

‘Great! You get pushed around, literally, the first few seconds you spend in this hall and now, you don’t anyway to get to your next class without being extremely late. Seriously, I should’ve asked the receptionist where my homeroom was.’

His thoughts were interrupted by a loud shout and something heavy that sent him to the ground.

“Watch where you’re going!” A gruff voice growled.

Blue eyes looked up to see the owner of the voice. His eyes widened slightly. Dog. This person looked like a dog. The boy had shaggy, brown hair, and like Naruto, tan skin. His eyes were blackish brown and there were red triangles on his cheeks.

“Sorry for bumping into you… ” Naruto muttered. He stood up and brushed the dirt off of himself, while the boy in front of him was observing him.

“Oi, you’re a new student, aren’t you?” The brunette asked.

The blonde nodded. “Yeah, just got here today.”

“No wonder! No one stays in the hall when the first bell rings. Well, you’re probably really confused on where you’re supposed to go. I guess I can help you.”

“Thanks, man.”

“Alright, let’s see. Give me your schedule for a minute.”

Naruto did as the teenager asked.

He grinned. “Ah, so you have Kakashi. Lemme just say this first: Kakashi is the laziest person you will ever meet. Besides Shikamaru, of course. He’s also a huge pervert, carrying his little ‘Icha Icha Paradise’ book around all the time. He has this really weird mask on his face, but the students don’t question it.”

“Eh?! Kakashi’s my teacher? Oh man…” Naruto grumbled.

The boy looked confused, “You know Kakashi?”

“The man’s my adoptive father. I know how he gets sometimes. The pervert’s probably gonna torture me once I set foot into his classroom; he’s sadistic like that. “ The Uzumaki complained, earning a chuckle from the other boy.

“Luckily, your homeroom is right next to mine, so if ya need anything, you know who to call.” The teen winked, making Naruto laugh this time.

“Well, thanks. And who’s that Shikamaru you mentioned earlier?”

“You’ll know in time, young grasshopper.”

Naruto laughed at the boy’s remark. “You’re a pretty good guy, have a name?”

“Kiba Inuzuka. How about you?”

“Naruto Uzumaki.”

“Nice. Well, I have a feeling we’re gonna get along just fine. This school is very different from other schools, so I’ll teach you all that you need to know.”

“Thanks.”

“Don't mention it.”

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

Sasuke growled slightly as spitballs were being shot at him. Some jocks were in the back of the room, acting like the bastards they were. They kept shooting spitballs over and over until he couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up from my seat, and walked over to their seats calmly.

The leader of the group smirked when he came closer; Hiro was his name. Hiro and his lackeys were smiling and snickering. Until Sasuke slammed both hands on Hiro’s desk.

A aura of gloom and fear then surrounded the room. “Is there something you needed?” Sasuke hissed.

A pair of green eyes glittered in amusement, when Hiro looked straight up at the Uchiha. “Yes actually. I’d appreciate it if you could get out of this town. We don’t want fucking fags in our school. Not to mention, a supernatural one.” Hiro explained simply.

“Well, I’m sorry to inform you that will not be happening anytime soon.” Sasuke growled.

“Is that so? I’ll make you get outta here.” As a fist was raised, a quick hand was there to block it. Arms were swung and bruises soon appeared. Kicks were sent and insults full of vice were exchanged. All up until Sasuke and Hiro were on the ground panting heavily.

Just as Hiro was about to take advantage of Sasuke’s tired state, a quick moment occurred, when Sasuke’s eyes had turned red, with 3 commas spiraling around a black dot that sat in the middle of his eye.

Astonishment overwhelmed Hiro, and the sudden fear he felt caused him to jump back and stand up quickly. “You’re lucky, Uchiha. I’ll see you after lunch.” He growled and went back to the seat.

The brunet simply got up and went to his seat, his anger slowly decreasing.

As if on cue, Kakashi entered the room and waved. “Good morning class. Please take your seats.”

Everybody finally got into their seats and Kakashi started to speak.

“Well, I normally wouldn’t grab your attention like this, but there’s a new student joining us today. He’s come all the way from Uzushio.”

Kakashi suddenly smiled while his hair shifted, creating a shadow over his eyes.

“He’s also my adoptive son. So if you dare hurt him, you know who you’ll be talking to if something does happen.”

Shivers ran down many students’ spines as many looked down to avoid the teacher’s stern gaze. The shadow over Kakashi’s eyes disappeared and a small smile replaced the frown that once rested upon his lips. “Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, he’ll probably be here right abo-”

A loud slam interrupted the man. Lazy black eyes sparkled with laughter and amusement as they saw the two people that had slammed the door.

“Ah, you finally made it. Oh, hello Kiba.”

Kiba crouched down, hands on his knees and waved for about 3 seconds before continuing to pant heavily.

Naruto took a huge gulp of air before standing up straight and handing his “father” the excuse paper he received earlier.

“Hm. The ol’ tardy excuse paper, eh? Alright then, you’re off the hook. Class, this is the new student I was talking about. His name is…”

The Uchiha’s eyes widened in pure horror as a name he never wanted to hear again was spoken.

“Naruto Uzumaki.”

Pale fists clenched. Memories started drifting into his mind. Fear. That’s what he currently felt. He thought one single word.

‘No.’

(1) GHOST! HA! HA! HA! GET IT?! Ha! ha… No? D: you’re no fun.
