Hahah, so – this is my first fanfic that I had ever posted. I couldn't care less if you're nice or not. But still, my friend has been begging and begging me to put this up. So here it is.
Note: It's NaruSasu, SaiSaku, ItaDei and other pairings. And no, I don't own anything of Naruto.
Screaming

Sasuke
Chapter I: Salutations
Shino and I have been friends for about five years, and now we were going to the same boarding school. Konoha Igakuteki Boarding School, or for short: KIBS. The new school year was about to start to, in just a day, or to be more specific three hours. Horrible thing was though; it was a just-boys school, which meant the cleanliness would be a bit… unclean. I still pictured the average male teenager as a muddy and sweaty sports-player. I was the total opposite though. My brother has been bothering me about getting my things packed, and the school crap like a bloody pencil ready. Oh but don't worry, he made me do this too two months before school. I could tell he was excited, since he taught there too. He probably wouldn't have any classes with me though, since I'm doing psychology and all that jazz. Shino and I had been discussing about KIBS online, he told me that the girl's school was only a kilometre or so away from us - which would mean most of the boys there were straight. I lied in my bed, trying to block out any negative thoughts. But I had failed miserably, thinking of all the ways I could possibly humiliate myself in front of everyone. The air conditioner was whistling its cool air against my bed, making it ridiculously cold.
I pulled the blanket over my head and groaned. Why did school have to start today? I wish it could be tomorrow or something. Then again I would say that again the very next morning to. I sighed when Itachi did his usual (and may I say pitiful) knock on my door. He walked in and started snickering at my supposedly humours situation. He sat on my dark blue bed and started poking me. He got me right in the sides, making my laugh stupidly and cringe. I think the fact that I was ticklish and he wasn't amused him, since I could do absolutely nothing when I tried to fight back. I lifted my face from the blanket and pouted at him.
"Come on Sasuke, it won't be so bad" he tried to coax me. But I wasn't dense.
"Yes it will," I sighed sitting up, "it always is" I stretched, cracking my toes and back in unison. Itachi cringed slightly at the noise.
"Aburame-kun will be there, so at least you'll have some company" he said. True, Shino would be there and I wouldn't feel so bad. I looked at him, seeing his unusual similar face. He got up and poked my head. "Now get ready, at least you don't have to wear a uniform" he said, getting out and respecting my privacy.
I took in as much of home as I could when I got ready, because this will be the last morning I will wake up home. Unless I'm able to come here on weekends, which will be great considering the fact I have internet here. I yawned loudly once I was at the table, munching on a badly-toasted piece of… toast. The juice was good at least. Itachi was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt, with jeans – nothing fancy. I looked at my own clothing, a tight black shirt and a pair of long army patterned pants. With a sigh, I got up and brushed my teeth. Itachi and I were about the same size, now that I was looking in the bathroom at us. Maybe the spikes on my head made me look a bit more of a rebel. Hah, me… a rebel.
The teachers loved me because I never talked. People supposed I was what they call a 'wannabe emo'. I laughed at this, because they called all supposedly emo people a wannabe. Who would be the one true emo then? Once I brushed my teeth I stood at the front door. Itachi was getting his things ready, while I waited patiently with my luggage. Before I knew it Itachi was locking the door, and I was putting my things in the boot. The weather was overcast, and perhaps there would be rain soon. Looking at my two-storied house, I sighed yet again and hopped in the car. Maybe this adventure wouldn't be so bad, and maybe this year will be a bit more eventful that I could possibly imagine.
Well, we're here.
When I was strolling up to the main office with Itachi, I had caught sight of strange looks. Perhaps they were enthralled that fresh meat was about. Or maybe they detested me already. I wanted to groan. Just the thought of me living here for a year hit me hard. When we got there (after passing what I thought was twenty or more buildings) I spotted Shino instantly. He was still wearing those sun-glasses, which were totally irrelevant. But he was Shino, and Shino wouldn't give a crap what you said about it. I sat beside him as a long line of students waited for the knowledge of their room number. I prayed that Shino and I would share one, but it also went by last names, which destroyed any hope I had left. He looked at my pants.
"Nice," he said, obviously being sarcastic. I snorted.
"Like you can talk, person-who-thinks-the-sun-is-out-constantly" he smiled for a moment in amusement at my comment.
"Well played" Shino remarked.
We waited for about an hour I think before we had a chance to go up and ask. There was a rather annoying group in the room, a few boys who thought they were more important that all the rest of us.
"Name?" asked the woman with the overly large fingernails.
"Uchiha Sasuke" I replied, looking at Shino.
"Uchiha… Itachi's little brother yes?" she asked. Why wasn't I expecting that?
"Yeah" I breathed.
"Room… 813, which will be in L block dear" she informed me.
"Am I sharing with anyone?" I asked, a little anxious for the answer.
"Of course dear, we need to make as much space as possible. You will be sharing with… uh, Uzumaki Naruto" she said the name like it was dirt. A blond boy from the group in the room looked alert suddenly.
"What was that granny?" he yelled out. I wanted to hit something, please don't tell me that was Uzumaki. The woman rolled her eyes.
"Good luck living with him" she said. For once I wish I was Shino.
I said a quick thank you and then waited for Shino to get his room number. While that was happening, I was subtly looking at the blond who was apparently my roommate. I could tell instantly he was a very social and talkative person, who didn't mind being loud. I just had to end up with my complete opposite didn't I? Of course this would happen. I hope Shino would have to suffer as much as I would, life wouldn't be fair then. Once Shino had finally finished, he lunged his bags with him and stared at me.
"I'm in room 496, the same building as yours," he said, sighing, "But on the second floor" I blinked.
"How many floors are there?" I asked.
"About two or three, so I guess you're on the third floor" he said. Aha, great… heights. We started walking out of the office and towards L block.
"So, who's your roommate?"
"Inuzuka Kiba, the socialite – you?" I wanted to laugh at his answer.
"Uzumaki," I tugged on the slipping bag from my shoulder, "Naruto, another socialite" He snickered.
"Perfect, our opposites," he remarked, "But I think I have a bit more luck than you do."
"Oh really?" Please don't be what I think he's going to say…
"Inuzuka is straight, Uzumaki is gay, and considering the fact that you're sexy he will spot you like a fly would spot dog shit"
"…" no words could describe the utter… I don't even know what it was, horror I guess? He started snickering.
"I'm joking; I don't know Uzumaki's sexuality," I sighed in relief as the words slipped from him.
"Good, because I sure as hell don't want to be perved on," I said, since when did Shino have a sense of humour? "And Shino, don't ever say that I'm sexy ever again."
"Gladly" and with that we walked to L block in silence. Once we were there, we departed with a nod. I struggled to get my things up the stairs, but after around five minutes I figured out that there was a ramp. Luckily for me everybody was still mingling around outside in the cold. I looked around the third floor, my shoes against the wooden timber floor. The walls were a nice colour of cream, and the doors were brown. There were paintings of boats, oceans and plants around the room too. I spotted room number 813, which was right at the end of the corridor. I think this little walk had been much easier.
I opened the door and gasped. Holy fuck, this was impressive for a bloody school. The carpet was clean, and white, and as I stepped in to explore, the couches were a nice mink colour. There was a large TV, a kitchen with a decent marble bench and oven. I saw three rooms, obviously two were our bedrooms. I walked passed the couch which was just to my left as I stood in. Right or left? I chose left. The bedroom was slightly smaller than my one at home, but it was still good. The bed was neatly made with white sheets and a blue blanket. There was a wardrobe and a desk, with a mirror. I shoved my bags on my beds and went back into the lounge. I stretched and explored. The bathroom was big, and so was the other room. I could live with little space; I didn't mind it that much.
Maybe I should unpack. I spotted something navy that was on the wall near the kitchen. A phone? Holy shit, what next? I walked down the small hall and saw a study that was larger than the lounge. Two desks, one table and a bookshelf lied against the walls. Maybe they had internet, if they did then it would be heaven. Wait, Sasuke, wait. You can't have this all to yourself, remember? Fuck it. With that thought I went back to my room and started to unpack my clothing, personal items and hygienic crap. I was rather content until I heard the door open. I wanted to go all dramatic, and scream out a long and drawn out 'no'. But I controlled myself and quickly hid in my room, unpacking the rest of my clothes. I didn't know whether to keep the door open or closed, so I left it half open. Feeling a bit nervous with new people was natural for me.
I blinked, confused at my clothes. I swear I hadn't packed this much. I sighed; Itachi was such a worry-wart. My bedroom door was opened by a tan hand, allowing me seeing Naruto close-up. He had awkward scars on his cheeks, maybe like whiskers, and his eyes were a shocking blue. Nothing else was special about him, besides the fact that he was taller than me. I could even tell from here. He looked at me, and gave a grin.
"Hey there" he greeted happily. Oh good lord.
"…Hi" I answered. His grin disappeared.
"Uchiha Sasuke right?" he asked. No idiot, I'm just a random person who decided that this unit suited my taste and unpacked my things.
"Yeah –"
"Itachi is your dad then yeah?" I wanted to hit him.
"No, he's my brother" he blushed a little bit in embarrassment.
"I totally knew that" he said, laughing it off.
So far, he was annoying me. Shino knew when to shut up. But obviously this guy didn't. "I'm Uzuma–"
"Uzumaki Naruto, I know. The lady told me" I said.
"Oh, Hahah…" Silence filled the room. "Well, I'm out" he said, leaving to do his own thing. I was slightly glad he was gone now. Maybe I should go see Shino once I was done, or maybe Itachi will come along and make sure everything is up to my standards. I grinned slightly at that. He was always a caring and loving brother, not like those stereotyped ruffians that would kill you. Once I was done I grabbed my laptop and went to the study, set it up and switched it on.
It lit up and made a few noises before it decided that it should ask for my password. I keyed it in and waited. After it was all loaded, I went to check if there was any internet service. Sure enough, there was. And it was password protected, bugger.
"Its okashi" the sudden voice made me jump. I recovered quickly from the fright. I turned my head and saw Naruto watching over me. "Okashi, I know, it's pretty stupid but still…" he trailed off.
"Half of the people here know Japanese, they should really get a better one though" I said, keying in 'okashi'. Surprisingly it worked. "Thanks" I said.
"No problem" he said. I think he might've walked away, but I could still feel this really big and warm presence behind me. I grinned; maybe Shino hacked in the internet by now and was playing World of Warcraft. I logged on to the game, choosing whatever character I wanted. From what I knew we didn't have to do anything today, more or less just unpack and try to get comfortable. Once the game had loaded, I pressed 'o' and saw that indeed, Shino was on. I saw that he had immediately messaged me.
Internet! =D.
I snickered and typed back 'I can't believe you hacked it already'. I talked to Shino for a while until I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Itachi.
"Itachi," I said giving him a really big smile, clearly saying I'm-not-doing-anything-wrong. He smiled softly.
"Already playing away huh?" he laughed. He poked my head and waved his hand to follow him. I sighed and got up, locking my computer first. I could never leave my laptop running when someone else was in the room; you never know what they could do. I followed Itachi out of the room and into the empty hallway.
"Yeah?" I asked. He looked around as though he was paranoid of someone listening.
"How is everything?" he asked. I blinked.
"Fine, I guess" I answered truthfully.
"Look, I'm not sure about you staying with Uzumaki; he has caused a lot of trouble in the past years" Ah, that didn't surprise me. "But I won't butt in if you don't want me to" he said.
"Its okay 'tachi, you know I don't go into any sort of social activity" I sighed. He smiled again.
"I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing" he yawned. "I'll leave you now, but don't be on that game all day long, you need to explore around the school and learn where which blocks are and all that" and with that he poked my head again and left. Shino walked out of his dorm once Itachi was downstairs. I smiled and shook my head at him.
"It's not my fault they're lazy with security" he said, taking off his sun-glasses and wiping them with his shirt.
"Either the technician isn't paid enough or they're really dense" I said, taking in Shino's light brown eyes. I barely saw his eyes, and whenever I did I wondered why he hid them away. Maybe it was because he was hiding away the emotion or something. "Come on, I'll turn off Gek and we'll 'explore' this place" Shino nodded. I went back in, turned off my laptop and packed it away hidden. I was just about to go outside, but Naruto stopped me.
"Where ya going?" he asked.
"Somewhere" I said, exiting the unit. I waited for Shino to hurry up and do the same as well, and then we walked downstairs.
It was sprinkling with rain, making our adventure a bit more… adventurous. We searched around across the cement, and occasionally the little gardens. We were thrown many gazes and strange looks from the peers surrounding us.
"They're just jealous that we have skills" Shino whispered. I snickered. Maybe this year wont be so bad, and maybe living with a social and apparent 'badass' wont be so horrific. Then again I could be wrong. Shino and I reached our dorms when it was around two in the afternoon. For the rest of the day I watched TV, and forgot to eat. I sighed; maybe tomorrow will be good to.
