CHAPTER 1 : A Tutor!
The morning sun rose slowly shedding light through the darkened world. If one would take time to stare, they'd get caught in the serene beauty of the morning. Morning dew fell from leaves. Birds happily sang while –
"SHIT!" Uzumaki Naruto, fell out of his bed successfully ridding sleep off his eyes. "I'm going to be late, damn it!" Quickly detangling himself from the covers that somehow snaked its way around his leg, Naruto swiftly made his way to the bathroom.
After completing his hurried bath, he looked himself over at the mirror. His blond hair was messy and untamed, nicely framing his tanned face that contrasted against his large blue eyes. Those blue eyes held such a bright glow, always cheery blending beautifully with the clear skies. His school uniform (1) clung loosely around his thin frame, looking almost saggy.
"Whatever…" He said frustrated as he fought a losing battle against his unruly hair. Placing the comb back on its container, he looked himself over and rushed off to school.
----------
In another part of the city, a certain dark haired boy awoke from his light slumber. It was still dark out; the suns rays still not managing to shed light on the dark world. Outside, there was utter silence, occasionally disrupted by passing cars.
'Just another day' he thought to himself. Getting up from his large queen sized bed; he gazed at the digital clock beside him. '4:01am' it said with light red oversized numbers. He walked through his large dark room passing by the shadows that loomed in the corners. He made his way to the bathroom, wincing a little as the cold marbled floor met his feet.
Removing his clothing, he took a shower, making sure to not miss any part of his toned body. Rubbing the excess water off his hair and body, he dressed himself and glanced over to the mirror. People- (particularly the female population) would instantly describe him as sexy, handsome, good-looking, etc, with just one glance; but all he saw was his dark hair, dark eyes, and pale skin.
He was no man for social gatherings nor did he like associating himself with other people. He was often cold, monotonous and stoic around others- yet these characteristics drew more and more people to gaze up at him. How the human mind worked, he did not know.
Concluding himself presentable, he headed downstairs making his way down the grand staircase. He entered their kitchen where his brother was seated on the breakfast nook reading the morning paper. The coffee placed in front of him sent a wonderful 'café-like' aroma in the air.
"Morning Sasuke." Itachi looked up to see his brother's blank expression.
"Hn." Sasuke nodded in acknowledgement as their gazes met. Grabbing bread from its container, he put two slices in the toaster and waited for it.
Itachi watched Sasuke from the corner of his eyes.
As soon as the bread was ready, Sasuke sat across his brother and started munching on his breakfast. And so, the silence that always seemed to be present in the Uchiha mansion proceeded to make its presence noticed.
After Sasuke finished with his food and Itachi with his paper, the siblings left their mansion and proceeded to Itachi's black sports car (2). The ten-minute drive was spent in utter silence. Upon reaching Konoha High school, Itachi stopped the car and Sasuke made his way out.
"Be nice Sasuke" Itachi said with a smirk. Rolling his eyes, Sasuke slammed the door, not bothering to reply as Itachi sped off to work.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Late (munch) again (munch, munch, munch)?" Chouji asked while continuously stuffing his face with potato chips.
"How troublesome" Shikamaru sighed looking up at the clouds.
"Dude… ever heard of an alarm clock? It's not that expensive ya know!" Kiba shook his head at his blond friend who was desperately trying to catch his breath.
The three had been waiting for Naruto for almost an hour now. Every morning, would be the same scenario. The blond would run up to the school gates, panting and sweating due to a hurried attempt to make it on school grounds before the gates closed. And every morning he'd just rub the back of his head and smile sheepishly while his three friends waited for his arrival. It was like an unwritten ritual between the four of them.
"Good (munch) thing you (munch) managed to make it (munch) (munch) on time! Iruka Sensei would've blown a fuse again!"
Naruto snickered at the idea of his sensei angry… 'mother hen of the year' he thought to himself amused.
You see, Iruka was Naruto's teacher and guardian. Iruka had taken care of Naruto ever since the second grade when Iruka first discovered Naruto was orphaned. It had been a very exhausting task to take care of the blond bundle of energy, but every drop of sweat was worth it. Naruto had rubbed off on Iruka so much that Iruka had considered Naruto as his younger brother or son even.
Naruto smiled at the fond memories of Iruka and him bickering. Suppressing a soft chuckle, he made his way over to his classroom with his three friends.
----------------------------------------------------------
The day proceeded without event and as soon as the bell rang, Naruto was almost crying due to boredom. The second clock seemed to drag itself as if climbing the world's steepest hill. Teachers lectured on and on as if preparing to teach for centuries. Soon, Naruto had managed to imagine his teachers in the weirdest scenarios; scenarios ranging from untimely deaths to clown uniforms.
"Damn it! Why the hell do these people give so much homework?" Naruto sighed and proceeded to stuff his bag with random papers not bothering whether they crumpled or ripped.
"It's not like you ever do any of that shit!" Kiba stated matter-of-factly as he eyed the way Naruto huffed and puffed as he stuffed his bag in amusement.
"Well neither do you ass!" Naruto stuck his tongue out earning a light whack on the head from Kiba.
"Will you hurry? You two are so troublesome!" Shikamaru sighed grumbling about troublesome idiotic friends.
"Naruto!"
Four heads turned to the direction of the voice.
"Na-nani Iruka Sensei?" Four pairs of eyes stared at a single pair in fear.
"I need to speak with you. Kindly stay for a while."
"I-Iruka Sensei! I didn't do it! I swear! The marker wasn't even permanent! I swear I had nothing to do with it!"
Iruka along with three of Naruto's friends sweat dropped. Kiba hit the back of Naruto's head. "ITAI! What the hell was that for?"
"You moron! How obvious can you get?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head and being one with great comebacks, he stuck his tongue out.
"I don't even want to ask what you did Naruto…" Iruka sighed. 'Even if this baka is like a brother to me… sometimes…. Just sometimes I have to wonder what happened to that defected brain of his.'
Chouji, Kiba and Shikamaru left promising to wait for Naruto beside the school gates, also secretly adding a prayer for Naruto's safety- if the blond idiot were to piss Iruka more.
Back in the classroom, Naruto made himself comfortable on one of the chairs.
"What is it you wanted to talk about Iruka sensei?"
Iruka eyed Naruto wearily as if in deep thought. "Naruto, I've noticed your grades were slipping…" Not that they weren't bad before Iruka mentally added in amusement.
"Yah, yah! I'll fix that…" Naruto grumbled.
It's not that Naruto was dumb… Well… Or so Iruka thought he wasn't… It's just that the blond will not and would not study- no matter what you did. Whether you threatened to kill or torture the idiot (not that Iruka tried- he only presumed so) the blond would refuse to even glance at his notes. Iruka shook his head in displeasure. Naruto's notebooks were probably blanketed by ancient dirt and layers and layers of cobwebs.
"Naruto… I'm serious." Iruka's voice now serious caught the boy's attention. "If you don't start doing better… you might have to repeat the year."
"N-NANI! REPEAT THE YEAR!"
Like hell Naruto would repeat second year. He had already managed to make it half the second year- he was not about to go through that again!
"Hai… That's why I will be assigning you a tutor…"
"A tutor?" Naruto did not like that idea. He didn't like it at all. 'What kind of freak is he gonna pair me up with!' he thought while imagining some nerd with buck teeth and thick glasses- the stereotypical nerd...
And as if on cue the door to room 2E opened.
"Ah! Uchiha… you're just in time!"
