Okay it's been on my profile as a promise for a while now, but I wasn't really sure how I was going to pull this off. But now I know so here it is.

Story Summary: Sasuke is the youngest of the Uchiha family that is down to his brother and himself. After his parent's death, Itachi, the oldest brother, was called back to take care of his brother. He got the house, the land and most of the insurance money which won't last much longer. Sasuke is living in his own self proclaimed hell due to his brother's status as a gang leader and his own inability to coexist with the other students at school. He doesn't belong at home and he doesn't belong at school, so this outcast is just drifting until Naruto finally crosses his path. The blue eyed-blonde hotshot becomes Sasuke's mortal enemy, and the stakes just raise as the other steals his first kiss. Soon a game of insults, pranks, and dangerous stakes obsesses both teens until they become attracted to one another. Naruto becomes Sasuke's only chance at true existence, sent to save him from himself before his world falls apart as Itachi's gang set their sights on the younger brother. At the end of it all Sasuke realizes there is just one solution…one he might not live through.

Chapter One

What the hell am I even doing here? What's the point? Oh yeah, because you don't have a life dumbass.

I walk through the school hallways on this lovely Monday morning with a scowl on my face. There is nothing that I wouldn't want to do but go home and sleep away the entire day, but that's not going to happen. With my brother without a job and at home all the time with fish face, Kisame, that's just not the place I want to be right now.

The hallways are all empty due to my perpetual lateness.

I think I'm up to an hour late for first block….if I get there now I can still spend forty-five minutes in it and therefore won't be counted absent. Of course I could go and get a tardy slip, but that requires me to admit to actually skipping the first half, and considering Shizune saw me this morning that's not going to happen.

And I could care less.

Besides, it's just Pink-Eye's class, a.k.a. Kurenai senseis. I swear the woman needs to see a doctor about her eyes. They are just freaking freaky, no shit, they look red all the time. You'd think they'd send her home, what if it's a disease? Of course I'm the only one who's got enough sense to worry about it.

I'm the only one who cares about the human race, now tell me, is that right?

If a bunch of Martians came and enslaved us all I do believe I would be the only one to give a damn and actually fight them for my freedom and humanity. Or what humanity I'm entitled to have. Doesn't mean I use it. Hey I've got the freedom of expression too right? Just because I like to wear black means absolutely nothing in the long run. It's the best color out there.

I pause in front of the door before walking in and interrupting my oh so lovely teacher from giving a lecture about whatever it is they talk about in AP calculus. To be honest I'm not sure how I got in this class. Cheatings good for something I guess. Anyway, long story short, she got pissed and we had a talk in front of a snickering class before I signed the papers in blood stating that I had no freedom, no life, no love, no soul, and oh yeah that I was tardy.

I walk towards the back of the class room to my designated seat that is all holy and in the back away from prying eyes. My sanctuary so to speak in every classroom is to be as far away from the lesson as possible. The crap was boring anyway, what was the point in learning something I already knew? But of course walking to my seat meant passing by some of the others.

And by others I mean crazy people. As in the rest of my class. No seriously I am the only sane one here.

Today nobody seems to want to make eye contact. Good cause I don't want them to look at me. To acknowledge my existence would put us on the same playing field and I do believe that I'm better than that. I pass by Neji, Sakura, and the others. Smart and intelligent students. Well maybe everyone except for Lee. He seems to be the only one who pays extra close attention. The only good thing about him is that he'll ask several million questions about one subject and leave us no time to take a test or quiz.

I glance up at the male and surprise, surprise, he's wearing green. And I mean all green. Green pants and a green shirt with a bowl cut and the thickest eyebrows on this side of the universe. I do believe his mother must be Sasquatch and his dad is Satan. Satan the drama teacher or A.K.A. Gai. Those two claim not to be related and I'm sorry, but the cucumber is so the love child of the two previously mentioned. There's just no denying it.

I get to my seat and plop down without a care in the world in the corner. Gaara sits in front of me, but that's all right. The guys a preppie somehow, I mean he's silent and has the blood red hair to match a freak out tattoo on his forehead spelling out love. I think. And there is no eyebrows. People no eyebrows. The eyeliner he wears is about an inch thick to boot.

And this guys in with the popular kids?

I ask you what the world is coming to.

But it doesn't matter cause along with all that crap, he's quiet. Really, really quiet. And leaves me alone. That's all I ask. The only person who sits beside me is Hinata. She's a rich girl, but comes to public school for the laughs I think.

Her social life is little to none.

Talking is an issue with this chick, she stutters every other word. I don't think it has anything to do physically with her or a condition. Whatever you want to call it, but each of us has our crosses to bear.

So stuck with Pink-Eye teaching, a talking Cucumber, a Red Love Psychopath, and a Stuttering Sociopath, it's a wonder that this isn't my favorite class of the day.

Well torture chamber number one opened its doors all too soon. Please note sarcasm. Basically AP Calculus ended and now I have a headache from trying to figure out these problems. So not doing the homework tonight.

My feet move across the halls at a quick pace as I make my way to second block. Gym with Asuma. I poke my head inside and feel a sense of relief that I'm the first one here. Kurenai's class is almost right beside his so I don't' have to go far and for that I'm grateful. Walking to my locker I pull out my clothes from the red box and tear off my shirt as fast as humanly possible.

I don't need them to see the bruises on my chest. I don't need the questions.

Nothing they can be done about it. Crosses to bear right?

I throw the white uniform shirt on for gym and change into the shorts with the same about of vigor. I don't mind the class. I don't play sports, but that doesn't mean that I'm not good at it. My first year in high school, I had all the coaches begging me to join track and soccer. Hell one even wanted me to play foot ball despite my short size.

Yes, I admit it. When it comes to the other seventeen year old boys my age I'm short. Several inches actually. I'm a whopping 5ft 7in. Amazing. Needless to say it wasn't happening. I have enough people calling me names; I don't need to add changing and rubbing my body against several other young males to add to it.

Besides I have responsibilities at home.

Changed I move towards the door to stand on the floor and wait for everyone else including the coach. In my rush I open the door staring at this piece of gum on the floor. I swear the thing moved. That pink blob danced over the dark blue tiles that covered the concrete beneath my feet.

I collided with a hard chest….and nearly broke my nose. "Shit," my voice doesn't fail me with its awesome vocabulary as I stumble back. Should've tied my shoes. My right foot steps on my left shoe lace and I took a trip down fallville to meet my ass. Blinking I star up at the figure who dare stand in my way. Needless to say the fall was just icing on the cake. A true cherry added to my head ach.

"What the heck is your rush? Are you alright?" Its Naruto. Blonde boy wonder in the flesh. This guy is a grade A what? On all levels. Seriously, he came to the school a year ago and picked up on everything and everyone like it was second nature. It didn't take him long to climb up the social hierarchy and become one of the most wanted guys.

He's in any group whenever he feels like it. Popular, Jock, well not really brainy. And not really loner either.

"No I think I broke my ass from the fall. Can you go get the coach?" My voice was loaded with sarcasm as I stared at his blue eyes. Damn him for being so bright. Seriously, not only was the hair blonde, the eyes blue, but the clothing was a bright orange. Oh well, he gets points for originality and not helping my head ach.

I stand up and ignore the hand he held out to me. I am fully capable of picking myself up thank you. Besides, what would I want with his help anyway?

"Don't bother with it." A new voice entered my ears. Seemed like he wasn't alone. I look over his shoulders and catch site of dog boy. Kiba. "There's no dealing with him." Kiba shakes his head like I'm some poor case and pushes past Naruto and me to go to his locker.

Naruto gave me a look, but I pushed past him. I don't have time to deal with this. Especially from people who don't exist.

Needless to say as soon as I got on the court, my shoes were tied. No sense in going around and breaking your tail bone right? I sat on the benches and stared at the basketball court in front of me. Konaha High School, the only thing worth anything in this town. The mascot stared back at me, an orange fox with nine tails wrapped in fire in the middle of the court. We were such a bad ass school.

Aren't I just full of school spirit?

To be honest the place needed to be burned down to the ground. I pulled up my legs and rested my head on them as I stared at the other guys in my class come to change. Any closer and they'd be late.

Not only was blonde and dog boy in my class, but Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino, Gaara, and Kankuro were as well. All guys about the same circle. The great inner social structures that is. Other than them were the loners, (who aren't really loners. They have friends and girlfriends) and weirdoes. To put it simple, I don't know their names.

Never really cared.

The only reason I know the others is we went through grade school together. And they had all once in a while made me the bunt of their jokes and riddles. Keep your friends close, but your enemies' closer right?

It took another twenty minutes, but that was it before the other boys came out. There's no coed when it comes to gym. It's not proper or something. Please I'll tell you why they stopped it, some perverted teenage male kept getting a hard on watching a girls chest move up and down. That's exactly what happened. Of course they aren't going to say that. How many parents would have a fit if you accused their precious little son of being a closet pervert who probably did nasty things in the shower or in his bedroom?

It was five seconds later that Asuma finally showed up on time. Smelling like Cigarettes and shaving cream. I understand the fact that he had to shave to keep his beard right, but am I not the only one seeing a problem with a gym teacher who smokes? I mean here we are suppose to be learning about how to better ourselves and push our bodies further and mister teacher smells like cancer causing rat poison.

There's a lot irony in the world.

"Alright, today we're going to go on a hike through the woods on the path around the school. I want you each to go through the path at least twice." He said this while giving Chouji, the fat one, a stern look. Wonder why?

The others groaned and I rolled my eyes. Honestly, did we have to go through the whole routine of groaning and complaining even after the man had made up his mind?

"That's enough. I want you all to team up in pairs of two. You and your partner will be jogging, walking, or running the entire time together. If I catch anyone by themselves, both of you will be put in detention."

Oh hell he did not.

One thing about gym was the fact that we had to play team sports. That was something I could barely tolerate, but at least he choose the teams. Now we had to pick them ourselves.

Right.

Almost immediately I saw the groups play out before they even got together. Lee paired up with Neji because the male was his self proclaimed rival, Shikamaru with Chouji because he was too lazy to do anything other than walk, Gaara with Kankuro because the two were actually brothers (though it's highly debatable in my opinion), and Shino with Kiba because for some reason the two went well together. I waited patiently for everyone to get figured out and see who the odd ball was out. It was probably going to Haku. That kid never really fitted with anyone and we usually ended up together.

That would be fine with me. Haku was pretty quiet and did what needed to be done. Nothing more.

I stood up because I was beginning to lose the feeling my left foot and moved towards Haku when I saw him talking with another black haired male. Sai.

Okay, Haku had crossed over from normal to weird. What now?

I glanced around and realized that with Sai partnering up with Haku that left his partner as the last man. My partner was Naruto Uzumaki.

I feel so lucky at this moment. Not.

"Alright so Naruto who are you paired with?" I almost rolled my eyes. It was the same way every time teachers tried to make us work together. They would always ask the odd one out if he was with anyone before ordering them to be my partner.

"No one," Naruto looked at him and placed his hands behind his head. The guy had to be foreigner. That skin was too dark and his hair was too blonde. So not you're typical Japanese.

"Then you can work with Sasuke." Jeez, Asuma had gotten to the point of not even asking me if I had a partner. It was only a few weeks into the new school year and already he'd figured out the system. Sasuke didn't exist. He just went with the flow. Well at least he was smart. With a brain like that he should have been in Harvard or something.

Naruto waited as Asuma began to explain everything. What to do if someone got hurt and all that mess the school forced him to say so the parents did go out in arms. Blue eyes must've thought I was supposed to go to him because he continued to wait. Well he could wait the whole time if he wanted to. I wasn't moving.

It took a while but he seemed to get it and moved forward only to be stopped by Neji who grabbed his hand to whisper in his friend's ear. I think the saying is if you sneeze someone is thinking about you. Well I didn't need no superstition because the look Neji sent my way said it all. He was warning Naruto about me or something.

The Hyuga and I didn't get along in the slightest. I'm not sure why and I'm pretty damn sure I don't want to know why. Naruto just nodded and continued to walk my way. When it was time to do the run, we walked outside and stood behind one another in single lines before Asuma blew the whistle and we stared off. Like a bunch of race horses or something.

The school wasn't small to any degree, considering it was for two districts. There was a lot of ground to cover and it didn't strike me as easy to get two rounds in only one period. Didn't matter though.

Lee and Neji ran ahead, Lee determined to beat his rival and Neji too proud not to take up the challenge. Choji and Shikamaru were way behind at a pace that Shikamaru deemed good enough to let them circle the school in plenty of time. Kankuro and Gaara were going at a drop dead jog and Shino and Kiba were at a slow run. The other weirdoes and Haku with his partner were spread across the field pretty easily. I saw a few of them cross over the edge of the path and into the woods for a short cut.

Lucky bastards. There was no way Naruto was going to do that.

"Naruto I bet I can make four rounds before you make one!" I heard dog boy yell and wanted to strangle him. I glanced over at Naruto and saw a sly grin cover his face. Oh shit.

"Don't think so Dog face," the blonde said exactly what I was hoping he wouldn't. The next thing I know both of them are running top speed up the hill like it' some freaking marathon or something. If you don't win you die sort of deal. I glanced back at Shino and he did nothing but jog faster. He wasn't trying to catch up, he was just trying to keep up with them. Like he didn't lose his partner or something.

Didn't Asuma say something about going to detention if he caught us without our partners?

Not good. I bit my lip so hard I think I busted it. Staying after school today for detention was not something I could do even if I wanted too. Itachi would…not a good day.

So I became a freaking Russian race horse and picked up speed. Kiba and Naruto were already so far ahead that I didn't think that I could catch up. I ended up passing Lee and Neji who had been in front. Both of them looked at me like I was retarded, no one ran that fast, not when we had to make two rounds. You'd lose your energy to fast.

Lee seemed to want to say something, but I wasn't bothered to listen. Cucumber could keep it to himself, I have better things to do. I can't believe that Naruto and Kiba got this far. There is no way. I swear I didn't see them though, so none of this made sense. Where are they?

My thoughts were rudely interrupted when I heard Asuma's voice.

Loud and freaking clear.

"Sasuke. This isn't a race! Where's Naruto?" Asuma was ahead at the beginning of the track standing still and staring at me with his arms folded. Oh you have got to be kidding me.

I stopped. There was no way I'd just run an entire course around the school. I glanced back and I could barely see Neji and Lee coming around a corner. Apparently I had. Not good. I stood in front of Asuma and suddenly felt how fast my heart was pumping. I was sweaty and slightly out of breath. "Didn't he come this way?"

Asuma looked at me and frowned. Didn't he hear what I just said? "No, you're the first to cross the line. Stand here and we'll wait until the others pass. Why are you separated?"

I glanced back over at the runners and see Neji glare at me as he and Lee passed. Now what the heck was that for? "Naruto and Kiba started racing. I couldn't keep up and I lost them."

"Racing?" Asuma looked at me with a raised eyebrow before he frowned. Well at least the dumbass believed me. He was looking over my head as Naruto and Kiba finally showed up. Shino was with the three of them and when they got there Naruto was glaring at me like I kicked his puppy or something. So was the other one, Kiba, while Shino just stood there.

"Uzumaki," The great teacher spoke. "Sasuke said that you started a race and left him alone while you ran off with Kiba. Is that true?"

"No sir."

I couldn't believe it! This guy was going to lie!

"He's the one who ran off without me."

At this point my mouth is hanging open.

"Saw the whole thing." Okay now dog boy really didn't need to put his two cents in it. The two of them were going to lie and let me take the downfall. Wonderful.

"That's not how it happened," I spoke up glaring back at the two. Kiss my ass you mother….what did he say?

"Sasuke calm down. Shino what happened." Oh I thought so. Well great Asuma I bow to your greatness and shut up. Now tell me what are you going to do about Naruto? He better not get out with a jail free card….did he just ask Shino? They're friends. The guy isn't going to…

"Naruto and Kiba ran off. Sasuke ran after them, but he must not have seen the two when they waited for me to catch up."

Wow. He didn't lie.

Kiba looked just as shocked as I was. The look on his face was funny and I would have laughed had the situation had my butt not been so close to the fire.

Asuma wasn't as impressed and he sighed placing a hand behind his neck. The guy needed a smoke and there was no doubt in my mind that as soon as that bell rang he would do just that.

"So we've got two stories. One is that Sasuke ran off the other is that both Naruto and Kiba ran off. Do any of you want to change your stories?"

How the hell do you change the truth?

Well anyway, no one was going to speak up. And just like I predicted though he waited five minutes no one changed their minds on what they wanted to go on their permanent records. So we were all in the pot and ready to boil. Problem was I can't do this. Damn it. I knew something was wrong the moment I walked into school today.

"All three of you get detention because I don't know who's telling the truth. Shino doesn't because in either story he didn't do anything wrong. All of you are going to report to the two hour detention after school today in Zabuza's classroom. Do you understand? You're names will be on the rooster so you can't skip."

And that was the last nail in my coffin.

"Hold it," Naruto spoke up staring at the man. "I have practice right after school. I can't stay after. It won't…"

"Can it Naruto. You are going to detention rather you like it or not is no concern of mine. I'll tell Kakashi that you won't be there. I don't think it will make that much of a difference if you miss one practice."

And with that Asuma turned around and the bell rang. The great teacher left and I made myself scarce and fast by jumping into the bodies trying to get into the building to get to our lockers. I could almost feel the glare staring at me from both of the boys.

I got to the dressing room before either of them did. I don't think Shino cared and though I thanked the guy for helping to make sure that at least I wasn't "scap goated" he'd gotten two very tall guys pissed at me. I jumped into the bathroom and locked myself in a stall. Usually I would just waste my time getting in here and getting dressed because I have lunch next, but I decided to play it safe. A locked door between me and them was a heck of a lot better than anything else I could hope for.

Sure enough the minute they walked into the room their mouths opened and they started bitching to their buddies.

Now I'm going to have more of a problem.

Turns out all I had to spend standing on the greatest invention in mankind, indoor plumbing, was about thirty minutes. Some of the guys took a shower and I was sure that Naruto and Kiba were gone, but I wanted to make sure. Getting dressed was something I did quickly, Asuma was required to come in and make sure we all left. All though he'd never done it I still went by the old rule that you never know.

Anyway I got out alive thank you. And they weren't waiting for me outside the gym or anything. That was a good sign.

I heard Kiba mention that he was going to call his sister to come pick him up early from school so he wouldn't have to worry about it. So he wasn't going to be pissed, hey I got him out of class the guy should be thanking me.

Naruto on the other hand wasn't going anywhere. He'd made that clear when I heard something like a fist slam into one of the lockers. His dad wasn't going to go for any of that crap. And even if he would the old man was somewhere in the next state at the moment, so he didn't have a ride.

Looks like I just have to dodge one evil doer.

Trust me I wouldn't go, I would just leave, but that rooster deal is big. If you don't show up they call home and trust me when I say that my older brother will get that call and he will be royally pissed at me. To put it simple I'm between a rock and a hard place. If I get home late today he's going to wail on me big time, but if I don't go to detention you can multiple that wailing by five.

And five makes it a pretty damn big number.

Since I've already missed twenty minutes of lunch because technically we only have ten minutes to get ready and get to our next class, I figure I might as well go to my next class. It has nothing to do with the fact that all of these angry guys have lunch the same time I do. Nothing at all.

Yeah right Sasuke, the great and mighty Uchiha a freaking coward.

My father must be rolling over in his grave at the moment. I hope it's a more comfortable position.

Anyway the next class is Ibiki's class (psychology) or what I like to call the class run by Scarface. The guy wears a hat and one time I made the mistake of walking in on him when he was taking it off. His bald head looks like it's been through a meat grinder.


Okay I know nothing big happened, but I just wanted to get the story on the site before I'm too lazy to do it. By doing this I'm committing so there is no walking back from it now. It might take forever to finish, but it will be finished.

How did you guys like the fact that it's written in Sasuke's point of view? Was it good enough to be reading? Is Sasuke a little off…to anyone?

Please let me know. R&R. : )
