Hello everyone, I have been writing this new story a lot lately and been going through it very fast so I thought hey what the hell. I should just post it. I know I said I wouldn't be posting new stories until I at least finish my old ones but this one keeps biting at me.

Hope you enjoy the start of a new story.

The First Meeting

That night... it was just like yesterday to me. I don't know how it happened or even why honestly but it did and now I am sitting here thinking was it all a mistake? I bet your wondering who I am and what I am talking about. Let me start from the beginning.

My name is Sasuke Uchiha aka Suke. I just turned sixteen and I live with my older brother because my parents passed away. That incident alone made me very antisocial with people that is until we moved away from our family home in Iwagure and moved to a little village in Hokkaido named Konoha. My brother was so sure I would start off fresh here and I actually hoped I would too.

I was so alone and all I really wanted was to make a friend that would understand me but I never thought I would get it until I met someone highly special to me. He made me question my way of life, my goals, and my integrity as a person, his name is Naruto Uzumaki.

It begins with my first day at school. I was new so I had to introduce myself of course.

"Hello my name is Sasuke Uchiha, but you can call me Suke." I said standing in front of the class.

The village was small so there was one class for each grade. The amount of students was pretty low too but I spotted him before I spotted anyone else. He was looking out the window not really paying attention to anything. He didn't even take a glance at me. Don't get me wrong I'm not cocky I just expected everyone to be excited about a new student.

"Wow she's so pretty." I heard a boy whisper to his friend and saw the other boy nod his head.

While I went to the empty seat in the back I noticed it was right behind him and I was sitting next to a pink haired girl.

"Hello, my name is Sakura. This is Ino, my best friend. Where are you from?" The pink haired girl named Sakura asked and gestured to the blonde next to her.

"I'm from Iwagure." I said gently not wanting to disturb the other students.

"Wow, the city. You're so lucky; I wish I could live in the city." Ino the blonde pouted while saying.

"It's not all that fun." I said turning my head not really interested in talking about why I left the city.

"Naruto, you been to the city right? Was it fun for you?" Sakura asked but I wasn't sure who she was talking to until the blonde turned around.

The eyes on him felt like he was seeing straight into my soul. It was nerve wrecking but warm in a sense. I wanted to turn away but I couldn't. But his stare didn't stay on me long until his stare was on the pink haired girl.

"I told you it wasn't fun for me. It was too loud and people were too touchy. I had to keep people from grabbing on Kurama when we were there." The blonde boy Naruto said before he looked out the window again.

He looked utterly displeased by being interrupted. He wasn't doing anything aside from staring out the window though, so I didn't really understand.

"Don't mind him; he's not really a talkative person." Sakura whispered.

"He used to be," Ino said.

"Yeah that is until that happened." Sakura said but didn't explain what happened.

"Naruto, can you finish this problem on the board?" The teacher asked him.

Naruto didn't hesitate to stand up and he finished the problem rather fast even for me. I love math and he made that problem seem like he was doing a simple addition problem. When he was done he sat back down without saying anything to anyone. I noticed the class eyes were on him as he walked back to his desk. There was no subtlety. It seemed like they were waiting for him to crack.

"Good work, Naruto. Like usual you got it correct." The teacher said with a warm smile that seemed really genuine.

I didn't really get what was going on but it seemed everyone was really on egg shells with the boy in front of me. When the bell rang for us to go to lunch, everyone got up aside from Naruto. I was curious I couldn't help it. He was like a mystery to me that I wanted to solve but I didn't know how to open the puzzle.

"Suke, why don't you eat lunch with us outside?" Sakura said with a group of girls by her.

It seemed like a good idea but I didn't really want to leave Naruto alone.

"Okay," I said despite myself screaming not too.

When I stood up I felt a pair of eyes on me, I took a chance to glance back to find him staring at me with cold and detached eyes then I saw them soften. He stopped abruptly and that led me to walk out the door with Sakura and the other girls.

"Well Suke, this is my group of friends." Sakura said pointing at all the girls.

"Hi, my name is Tenten." The girl named Tenten said.

"Hinata," another girl whispered shyly.

"Shion," another girl raised her hand.

Then there was Temari, Karin, Tamaki, Fu, Tayuya, and Sara. After a while another girl came into view.

"Hey everyone, I got here late. How was... hi, I don't believe I know you." The girl said tilting her head to the side along with her ponytail.

"My name is Suke, I am new here." I responded.

"Oh that's what you were talking about Sakura." The girl said tilting her head toward her friend.

"Yeah," Sakura said shaking her head.

"Well I'm Shizuka." The girl said finally introducing herself as she sat down. "So how was Naruto this morning?" Shizuka asked breaking all the mindless chatter around us.

"He still hasn't talked much since that day." Sakura said putting her head down.

I could tell she was sad but I didn't know what it was that she was sad at.

"He said he hated the city and talked about Kurama though." Ino said trying to brighten the mood that the Shizuka girl brought by asking about a topic that seemed so taboo.

It was slightly annoying of the girl to come by us and break the good mood there was before she came.

"I guess that's something." Shizuka said sadly standing up.

"Where are you going?" Sakura asked.

She didn't get a reply just a casual wave and then the girl was gone.

"What are you all always talking about?" I suddenly found myself asking.

"Huh?" Sakura and Ino both said turning to me.

"You guys keep bringing up that Naruto guy." I said blushing because all eyes were on me.

"Naruto... where should I start? Well he had an incident that made him the way he is now. Before he used to be the most hyperactive knucklehead in the village and then an incident happened and he completely shut us out." Sakura said trying to explain without letting out to much information.

I couldn't help but look at her eyes and see the sadness in them. Oh. They aren't sure if I should know the truth about him. I guess I shouldn't in a sense. When we got back into the class Naruto didn't seem to have moved aside from when he took a minor glance at me. Something about him just made me want to hug him. I didn't know what it was but it was such a strong pull.

"Okay class, we have to go into pairs of two. I already put the pairs together as you all were eating lunch. We finally have an even class since Suke came. The list is up here just come and take a look at it and then sit next to your partners, and then I will explain what the project is. By the way its guy girl pairs so you won't be with your best friends." The teacher said.

I stood up and noticed that Naruto didn't stand up at all. I guess he just assumed his partner would go to him. As I walked up to the board I saw from the corner of my eye Naruto starting to stand up and come to the board too. As everyone was at the board I heard a lot of sighs and complaints and even some happy sounds.

"Whoever got Shikamaru is so lucky." Temari complained sighing.

I assumed she wanted to be with the Shikamaru guy.

"I got Sai," Tenten said with a face of utter disgust.

"How pleasant," a boy said on the side of her.

Sakura-Gaara

Sara-Jugo

Tamaki-Choji

Fu-Suigetsu

Ino-Neji

Hinata-Shikamaru

Temari-Shino

Shizuka-Utakata

Tayuya-Sora

Karin-Haku

Shion-Lee

Tenten-Sai

Sasuke-Naruto

I finally got a chance to look at the board which seemed to be me, Shizuka, Shikamaru, and Naruto at the board.

"It seems like you got me." Naruto said abruptly behind me.

I felt a little brush of contact between us making me tingle, like I was touching fire. When I looked back at him I could have sworn I saw red on his cheeks. Why would he be blushing?

"I guess so," I said gently going to our seats.

He once again sat by the windows. Tenten was a seat next to me and she started whisper calling me.

"You're lucky you have him as a partner he is really smart." Tenten said then went back to her own partner who was pulling out paintbrushes.

So that must be Sai. I remembered everyone's name from the list and also all the girls I met in the yard earlier so I figured out everyone's name rather quickly.

"Okay class, since your now all sitting next to your partner. I want you to do a project together that says something the other has accomplished in their lives. I want your partner to write your biggest accomplishment. That's not all I want your partner to write, I want them to write the process you went through to get that accomplishment. I also want to know what you feared most during the process of getting the accomplishment. This will be due by the end of the year. Good luck," Iruka sensei said.

It took me so long to find out his name. What could I say was an accomplishment? Maybe my grades. No that's boring.

"Would if you never succeed in an accomplishment?" I heard the voice next to me ask.

"Then tell the person what you want to succeed in and what you fear most about the situation." Iruka said.

It's like he read my mind on that one. But one look from his eyes meant that, that question wasn't for me but for him.

"You can start now." Iruka said.

I didn't know what to say.

"But would if you don't have that either." Was the whisper I heard beside me.

I took a chance glancing at him only to see him looking out the window.

"Do you want to do the project?" I asked.

That made him glance at me.

"Can you give me a little time so I can make something up? I don't really have any goals or ambitions honestly." Naruto whispered to me.

Iruka seemed to notice that there was something going on with us because he walked directly by us ignoring everyone else.

"Why don't you tell her one of your deepest fears and the reason you feel that way? I don't know why you insist on saying you have no accomplishments when you clearly do." Iruka sensei said shocking me; he knew what Naruto was thinking.

"I don't see any of that as an accomplishment Iruka." Naruto said putting his head down.

Did he just call the teacher by his actual name? Holy crap.

"Naruto, I give you a lot of leniency in my class because I know you study hard and that you're really smart. But you need to do this project with Sasuke or you and she will both fail the assignment." Iruka said finalizing his decision by walking away.

"Wait what? Why would I fail too?" I asked only a second later did I realize I said it out loud.

"Because it is a partner project." Iruka said looking at me with sorrow in his eyes.

It made me actually feel bad for the teacher.

"Sorry, we might fail." Naruto said nodding his head.

"Oh no, we will not be failing. I have always gotten straight A's so you will not be bringing me down. Think of something and we will figure out what to do from there." I said not realizing I was talking to the enigma in front of me.

"Okay," Naruto said seeming shocked.

He was probably shocked because no one talks to him like they should they walk quietly by him.

"We can start tomorrow if you want." I said and got a small nod from him.

The bell rang just in time too because I didn't know what else to honestly say to him anymore. I think I embarrassed myself enough today. I ran out the door, I just wanted to find my brother outside waiting for me.

"Suke," I heard my name being called and stopped to see it was my teacher.

"Yes, Iruka sensei?" I asked wanting to leave quickly.

"Please actually work on the project with him, don't let him slip past it with a fake story because I will know if it's fake. I did know him his whole life after all." Iruka sensei said.

"Okay," I said quickly running down the hall toward where I was sure my brother would be.

As I was running out the door I spotted Naruto with another blonde who looked a lot like him. The boy was by the first year classrooms so I knew he was younger if anything. I made eye contact with both boys for a split second until the younger one looked to Naruto and then Naruto looked away from me and I was outside.

"Itachi," I said as I ran toward my older brother.

"Suke how was your first day?" Itachi asked as he picked me up into a hug.

I loved my big brother with all my heart and if I could be around him all the time it would be wonderful.

"Excuse me," I heard the voice of Naruto and removed myself from my brother.

I turned to him with a raised eyebrow.

"I will think of an accomplishment for your paper but I don't think I can tell you a very good one." Naruto said and turned around just as fast.

"We can figure that out together." I said quickly.

Naruto turned back to look at me like he was shocked by my response then a small smile came to his face. It was a real smile too. I never thought I would get a real one from him.

"It was nice to meet you Suke." Naruto said gently shocking me and then he walked away back toward the other blonde he was with in the hallway that was standing by the doors of a car.

I turned back to my brother and I hated the smirk he had on his face. I felt hot under his gaze and knew I was blushing but he decided not to say anything that is until we got into the car that is.

"So who was the blonde?" Itachi asked to my annoyance.

"He is Naruto, my partner for class." I said telling my brother the truth.

"Well that's boring." Itachi grumbled.

I let out a small chuckle. Why would my brother think anything would happen with me and a boy this soon? I just got here for the love of god.

"I am new brother." I said shaking my head at him.

"Well that's true also." Itachi said with a soft smile.

"Have you talked to uncle Obito?" I asked.

Itachi shook his head, "yeah, he said that he was setting up a corporate job here for me at Namikaze Electricity." Itachi said with a disgusted look on his face.

"Why do you look so put off by the idea?" I asked curiously.

"Because I didn't want to work as an electrical expert. I wanted to try and get my doctorate's degree." Itachi said sighing.

He really wanted to be a doctor still despite not staying with our inheritance from our parents. It took us a lot of time to just get out Iwagure. We were happy to get out of our family's house and the hold of our other living relatives. There were so many bad memories there that I and my brother couldn't take it. I knew my brother held himself together for me but I knew that he broke down when he was alone. He didn't want to be away from me for too long. He even considered homeschooling but we both didn't think that would be healthy. Our uncle even put us both under suicide watch when our parents first died and that's what led him to controlling our inheritance. He doesn't have access to it but he still controls our spending. Well Itachi's spending, I haven't got my inheritance yet so I don't count.

We drove to our new two story house that we were still fixing up because we didn't want to take any furniture from our old house. We took our clothes and necessities. The pictures were also left there; everything that could remind us of our parents was left behind. I of course never told Itachi that I still have a picture of mom and dad in my wallet because I couldn't exactly forget them like he tried too. I was a momma's girl and he was a daddy's boy. But ultimately we were both close to our mother.

"So... what did you think of everyone today?" Itachi asked we walked into our house.

"They all seemed very friendly. I ate lunch with a bunch of girls today. I even remember everyone's name in my class." I said.

"Even the guys?" My brother asked.

"Yup, I only knew their names because I looked at a list of everyone's names and remembered each girl in the class so I just looked at who everyone was paired up with. There was a lot of complaints, this girl Tenten really didn't like who she was paired up with and told me I was lucky because Naruto was really smart." I said.

"Who did that young lady get?" Itachi asked as we went to the kitchen and he poured water in a tea kettle to make us tea.

"She got this boy named Sai. Honestly he was a bit weird, during the time we had to talk about the assignment he pulled out paint brushes." I said with a small smile.

"Okay, so who do you like the best so far in class?" Itachi asked as he poured hot water in our tea glasses.

"This girl named Sakura. She seems the most approachable. She is the one that offered me to eat with them." I said.

"Who seems to be the least approachable?" Itachi asked.

I don't know why but he just seems to know I am bothered by someone in my class without me even saying it.

"There was this one girl Shizuka. She just grates something in me. She started a conversation today that threw everyone off and made everyone tense, just to walk away afterwards." I said slightly irritated at the memory.

"Haha, so she really did bother you." Itachi said with a smile on his face.

"Why does this amuse you?" I asked glaring at him.

"Because it must have been about that boy." Itachi said sipping his tea.

"What boy?" I asked but I already knew who he was talking about.

"That boy Naruto," Itachi said with a raised eyebrow.

"What made you suggest it was about him?" I asked.

"Just call it a hunch." Itachi said not looking me in the eyes.

I knew he knew something that I didn't but I wasn't going to press the topic. I didn't want to get into an argument if my brother didn't want to tell me.

"I am going to go to my room to figure out what I would want to tell him tomorrow about the project we have together." I said leaving my empty tea glass on the table.

I felt my brother's eyes on me, and then I heard him scoff.

"What is it?" I asked turning back to him.

"Do you want pizza for take-out tonight?" Itachi asked.

"Sure," I said running toward my room that happened to be on the downstairs level.

There were two bedrooms upstairs but I wanted the downstairs room, it had a connection to the backyard that I really liked. My brother wanted me to have the room upstairs next to him but I suggested us to have more privacy. Though he still walks in my room all the time. I even find him sleeping next to me in my room.

I pulled out my notebook and started to dabble on what I wanted to tell Naruto about. I didn't know what you could or would consider an accomplishment. I guess I can say that I am accomplished because I survived my parent's death with my mental stability still intact. But can I really say that? Considering my uncle put us both on suicide watch. What would be an accomplishment? Should I ask Itachi what he thinks?

That made me push my notebook away from me and get up to go to my big brother. He will know what one of my accomplishments is.

"Itachi? Where are you?" I called through the house.

"Upstairs," I heard him scream.

"I need your help." I said as I walked up the stairs toward him.

"With what?" Itachi asked as he popped his head out the spare bedroom.

"What are you doing?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Playing around in this room setting up our board games and consoles." Itachi said dragging me into the room.

"Holy crap, where the hell did you get all this stuff?" I asked.

The room was decked out with soft plushy chairs that are my favorite. Every game console ever made, and a shit tone of board games. Along with a flat screen, tones of movies, and books on book shelves.

"Do you want to play UNO?" Itachi asked perking up at the thought of playing a game.

"I will play, but where did all this stuff come from?" I asked again as I sat by the table where the UNO cards were at.

"I asked uncle Obito if I could buy a lot of games and he agreed. He said it will help us rehabilitate with spending time together." Itachi said with a large smile proving he was highly excited and very happy.

Sometimes I wondered about my brother. He acted more like a kid than I did a lot of the time. Not that I mind, if that kept him sane. I will take his playful ways any day over his depressed self. I love and need my brother just like he needs me.

"Okay, so what is it that you needed?" Itachi asked me as we settled into a game of UNO.

"What would you say my accomplishments were?" I asked looking at my brother catching the shocked expression on his face before it was gone.

"School, not going crazy after our parents died. What are some of the things that have to be written in this project?" Itachi asked.

"The teacher told us to tell our partner our biggest accomplishment, how we got there, the process, and what we were feared most during that time." I said.

"Why don't you tell him about how you survived and accomplished getting past our parents death. Tell them about that. Is there anything else?" Itachi asked as he put four cards down that bastard.

"I could write what I want to accomplish in my life and tell them what I fear about it." I said laying my head on the table.

"Maybe it would be best to do that then." Itachi said with a sighing, he knew why I thought that was a better idea.

The conversation was over after that and we continued to play the game. I won three games and Itachi won seven times. It sucked when I lost but I couldn't help but smile by my brother's laughter. That night we didn't bother going to our rooms, we wanted to be close to each other so we stayed in that room. Itachi was the first to fall asleep and I couldn't help but go back to the look in Naruto's eyes or the smile he gave me before walking away. The last thing I remembered before falling asleep was his smile.

Review...

Let me know what you think... I have a few chapters done for this story already but I want to wait it out to at least get more of my other stories done. This story will be more than 20 chapters.

I hope everyone likes the new work.
