The New Guy

Naruto sat in his English classroom, staring bored at the ceiling waiting for the teacher, Kakashi, to show up. He is constantly late for the class. Naruto wouldn't have minded this so much if it weren't for the fact none of his friends are in this class. Everyone looked up when they heard the door opening only three minutes after the bell, surprised that their teacher was here "early" for once. As it turned out, it wasn't Kakashi, it was a student no one had seen before.

The guys just shrugged and went back to talking to their friends, while all the girls gasped and jumped up to go talk to him like he was some kind of god. Naruto felt sorry for the guy, but was a little amused at the same time. A group of guys sitting near Naruto looked back over when the girls practically fell over themselves to rush up to meet the new guy. They started grumbling darkly all of a sudden and glared at the man. Naruto winced, he was going to have a tough time around here, if the reaction in the room was any indication.

Naruto looked back over to the guy who was looking around the room, frowning at the mass of girls around him. Naruto noticed that he asked one of them something. His frown increased when he got his answer and said something in response. The girls' answers seemed to only annoy him. Naruto debated going over and giving him a hand. He wasn't sure how that would go over. He was one of the most popular people in the school, people had just come to stop crowding around him, so he wasn't sure how the girls would respond. Probably not the way he'd like them too.

'Oh well,' He thought and got up and casually made his way over to where the guy was.

"Hey, no need to crowd the new guy," Naruto said to the crowd of girls noticing how the new guy frowned at him but ignoring it he continued on, "I'm sure his day is stressful enough without having to worry about seeing a mob of girls everywhere he looks."

They looked torn. Obviously, they weren't sure if they wanted to just oblige Naruto by allowing the man to actually be able to walk places or ignore him and continue talking animatedly to the new guy. Naruto was a little surprised by this but didn't show it, it was the first time someone rivalled him in popularity, not that he particularly cared.

Naruto was happy to see that at least half the mob had decidedly went back to their seats and were whispering to themselves. Even if the rest ignored him it would be easy to weave through them to go where you wanted. Naruto then turned to the new guy who was staring at him suspiciously. Huh, he wondered where the suspicion was coming from. He shrugged the thought off and said to him, "Need help with anything?"

"Che, why would I need your help?" He asked scornfully.

Naruto blinked a few times in surprise. That lower-than-thou attitude wasn't something he expected. He shrugged that off too and then said, "Well then, I'll leave you alone." He then turned and strode back over to his seat. One of the guys from the group from before leaned back and said, "Dude, why'd you even do the guy a favour?"

"The guy" had heard what he had said and looked over, slightly curious to the response that would be given, since he himself wanted to know why as well. He was sure there was some kind of ulterior motive to his actions considering every school he had ever been to the girls had loved him and sometimes there were guys too and then everyone else hated him. So, unless he was one of the fanboys he got and he certainly didn't act like the ones he was used to or there was some other reason.

"Why wouldn't I?" Naruto asked with a frown.

"Oh c'mon, he's... he's..." He was having a tough time coming up with a good insult.

"Instantly popular with girls, who cares?" Naruto asked.

"Being the most popular guy in school, shouldn't you care that he could take that away?" He asked.

"The guy" found that part interesting. Still, he wasn't sure why the guy had helped him out. Surely, it wasn't out of the goodness of his heart was it? That never happened, ever. The concept seemed absurd to him and yet he couldn't come up with another reason.

"Nah, popularity is no biggy," Naruto said, "I don't much care for it."

"You wouldn't be saying that if you lost it." He said.

Naruto who had leaned onto his propped fist smirked and gave a light chuckle before responding, "I know what it's like not to be popular, my popularity only started during high school."

"Yeah, but now that you're used it, you'll hate it if you lose it." He said.

"Nah, I'm telling you, popularity is nothing. Trust me, if I lost my popularity who cares, it could be so much worse." Naruto said like he was speaking from experience.

"Whatever you say, man." He said and then went back to talking to his friends. Naruto stretched and leaned back in his chair, putting his hands behind his head and just caught the new guy's eye. He grinned mildly wondering if he had been listening in on their conversation.

Just then Kakashi walked in and smiled to his class and apologised for being late, giving one of his crazy excuses that everyone knew wasn't true. Kakashi then noticed that there was a new student in the room.

"Hello there, you're the new student, correct?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes." He said simply.

"Okay then, class this is Uchiha Sasuke, he's just transferred here, now say hi." Kakashi said.

Every girl said it dramatically, every guy excluding Naruto muttered it bitterly under their breath. Naruto just said it normally. Kakashi had planned to put him next to someone more close to the front, but after hearing everyone's reactions he decided it would be best to just seat him next to Naruto, even though he was all the way in the back. Naruto raised his hand to tell Sasuke where he was, as instructed by Kakashi.

Sasuke made his way over and sat down next to him without a word. Naruto was already aware that he wouldn't want to talk, at all, so he said nothing and just listened to Kakashi start the class. Once it was over Sasuke was called up to the front and Naruto was to, not that it was surprising. He just assumed that Kakashi had to inform him that Iruka would be over since Iruka just couldn't seem to do it himself.

"Naruto, I want you show Sasuke around the school," Kakashi said, "Alright?"

"Sure thing," Naruto said with a shrug. This should be interesting.

"Good, good. Oh and by the way Naruto." Kakashi said remembering the other thing he needed to tell him.

"Hm?" Naruto said turning back to Kakashi by the door he and Sasuke were about to walk through.

"Iruka is coming to my place tonight," Kakashi said with a mischievous smile, "He wanted me to tell you that."

"Same old Iruka," Naruto said with a chuckle, "Well, have fun."

Naruto continued to walk out the door, Sasuke following, but they didn't miss the sensual, "Oh I will," from Kakashi. Naruto chuckled again and gave Kakashi another wave over his shoulder. Sasuke frowned slightly annoyed with how he was having to wait for them to stop talking so he could get this tour over with but said nothing. Naruto increased his pace after that and started to point out the different places and asked where his last two classes were.

"Why do you want to know?" Sasuke asked frowning... more.

"I'll mention where they are once we pass them." Naruto said.

"That's alright, I'll notice them if we pass by." He said.

Naruto just shrugged as a response and continued naming places that held any significance. Half way through the tour a brown hair man turned the corner and yelled, "Naruto, there you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"Hey Kiba," Naruto said unfazed, "What's up? You don't usually come looking for me if I don't show up at the cafe."

"Sai's back," Kiba groaned, "Who are you?"

Sasuke ignored Kiba's question. Kiba frowned when he was ignored and turned expectantly to Naruto.

"He's Sasuke," Naruto supplied, "Don't mind him, he has a superior-than-thou attitude problem."

"Then... why is he here?" Kiba asked.

"Kakashi asked me show him around," Naruto said, "Lucky, this has kept me away from Sai."

"Ugh, yeah, Sakura's all over him! I really don't know why, we all know he's gay." Kiba said.

"Yeah... she really needs to find interest in a straight guy." Naruto said.

"Yeah, maybe you could get her to go out with you." Kiba said jokingly.

Naruto snorted, "That would just be weird."

"True, true, but of course there's also the problem with you being gay too and all." Kiba said.

"No kidding," Naruto said calmly, "I should probably get this tour over with 'cause this guy is glaring into the back of my head."

Kiba looked over to see him roll his eyes and then go back to glaring. "Huh, he is, how'd you know that?" Kiba asked.

"I can feel it," Naruto said and continued walking, "See ya around Kiba."

"Hey are you sure you don't want a body guard in case Sai shows up?" Kiba asked half joking, half serious.

"I think I can handle him," Naruto said, "Besides, if he wants to try something again, I'm more than happy to put him in the hospital again."

"Love to be there to see that," Kiba laughed, "Anyway, I think I'll go find Hinata now. Later Naruto!"

"Later." Naruto said waving.

Just as he finished giving Sasuke the tour someone turned the corner and smirked at Naruto.

"Well, hello there Naruto." He said seductively.

Naruto groaned, "What do you want?"

"You," He asked.

"Ha, like that's going to happen." Naruto said.

Sasuke silently watched the conversation.

"Oh, I think it will." He said.

"Why don't you go bother someone else, Sai?" Naruto asked.

"Now, why would I want to do that when I can talk to you?" Sai asked.

"Jeez, I liked it better when I was a nobody," Naruto mumbled to himself and sighed in annoyance, "Anyway, Sasuke, this was the whole school."

"Sasuke, eh?" Sai said narrowing his eyes.

Sasuke simply "hn-ed" at him and nodded to Naruto in acknowledgement before he turned to leave.

"So, you were giving some loser a tour? That's why I had to wait all lunch to see you?" Sai asked.

Naruto gave a sigh that sounded like he really wouldn't mind dying right about now. "Good-bye, Sai." Naruto said ignoring his questions and turning around to leave. He missed his Sai-free life. How annoying he was.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Sai said grabbing Naruto by the shoulder and spinning him around. Naruto growled as his anger started to rise. Sasuke, not far away enough to not overhear this, glanced back to see what angered the blonde. He saw Sai try to force himself on Naruto and then not even a second later Sai was slammed against the wall, Naruto holding him in an arm lock.

"Are ready to leave me alone yet?" Naruto asked.

"For now," Sai said, "But whether you're willing to admit it or not, you do want me."

Naruto's nose scrunched up in disgust, "That is never going to happen."

"Heheheh, we'll see." Sai said.

Naruto released Sai and turned and walked away from him. As Sasuke turned his attention back to where he was going he noticed a girl running this way. At first he thought she was running up to him, but he noticed that she didn't notice him until she'd basically ran right past him.

"Hey Naruto!" She called.

"Yo Sakura, what's up?" Naruto said.

"Have you seen—never mind." Sakura said and made her way over to Sai. Naruto sighed, why won't Sakura just move on to someone else already. At least that way he could kick Sai out of the gang without pissing Sakura off. Jeez, she just can't stop defending him, even when he's trying to molest him. He just didn't get Sakura sometimes. He made his way to the cafeteria so he could grab something quick to eat so he'd at least have something in his stomach.

Once he finished his lunch he headed for his locker and got his books for his next class and made his way there. He settled down in a seat in back of the classroom and grabbed his book to read. He was early, but he didn't really care. Slowly, the class filled with people until finally when the bell was just about to ring the final student entered the room, Kiba.

He came and sat down next to Naruto. "So how'd the tour go?" Kiba asked. "Fine I guess," Naruto responded with a shrug, "Ran into Sai at the end of it though." Kiba winced and didn't ask about it, they both knew what happened when Sai was around Naruto. Sai tried a lot of nasty things on Naruto, which resulted in a fist fight between the two since he believed that's exactly what Sai deserved, a beating.

Then class started and Naruto and Kiba were paying attention to the lesson, instead of talking to each other. After that class was over they headed to each other's lockers together since they both had the same class next, art. They got into the class and Naruto found out he had Sasuke in this class too. In this class there were enough for three people at a table so the teacher sent Sasuke over with Naruto and Kiba. Naruto found it slightly amusing that Sasuke was sent to sit beside him in the two classes they shared together.

"Naruto, would you please catch Sasuke up with what's happened so far with examples... my examples." Their teacher, Jiraiya said.

"Do I seriously have to use your examples?" Naruto asked.

All the girls were agreeing that those examples should not be used. Jiraiya ignored them and said he did and rummaged through his things to find the examples he'd assembled the day before. Naruto sighed and made his way to the front to grab them from the man. Sasuke wasn't sure way it was such a big deal if Jiraiya's examples were used or not but he assumed he'd figure out soon enough anyway.

Naruto came back with a folder in his hand that held the examples in it. When Naruto sat back down he put the folder down between them and then started to explain what had happened so far and went through his art binder for his own examples.

"I thought we were using Jiraiya's examples." Sasuke said.

"What Jiraiya doesn't know wouldn't hurt him." Naruto said.

"...They can't be that bad." Sasuke said.

"See for yourself then." Naruto said gesturing to the closed folder between them. Sasuke frowned at him and then reached for the folder and opened it to see pictures that were rather inappropriate and sexual. He closed the folder and patiently waited for Naruto to find a good example of what he was talking about from his own binder.

"...and so that's what we're working on right now." Naruto finished and waited to see Sasuke's reaction before he went to continue the assignment that had been assigned only the day before. Sasuke had quickly copied down the instructions Naruto had from what had been told the day before and silently slid the paper back over to Naruto and started his own.

Sasuke had expected Naruto and Kiba to be talking non-stop to each other. Kiba was talking animatedly while doing his work bit by bit, but he was surprised that Naruto wasn't doing much other than saying "yeah", "uh-huh", "got'cha", and basically as few words as possible and concentrating on his work.

Sasuke was taking his time to do his and out of the corner of his eye he could see Naruto's hand moving fast and fluidly. He frowned and glanced over expecting it to look sloppy and rushed but was surprised at how good it looked. It was obvious that he had a knack for this. Sasuke turned back to his and continued his work at the same pace and as he thought about the blondes artwork he knew even though he was taking his time that the final product wasn't going to be as good as Naruto's.

Once class was over Naruto and Kiba headed for their individual lockers and Naruto said he'd met up with Kiba outside the entrance doors. Naruto was outside first and so he waited there by the doors for Kiba to show up, when he did they headed for their vehicles. Kiba's being a red sports car and Naruto being a black motorcycle.

They headed for a café and took a seat outside and they both ordered a coffee.

"Hey, did you notice in art class that, that Sasuke guy was eyeing your work?" Kiba asked.

"He was?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, he turned his head to glance at it and then ended up staring at it for a few minutes before turning back to his work. He looked pretty thoughtful to me." Kiba said.

"Yeah? I'm betting he's one of those guys who really thinks things through." Naruto said.

"Yeah, probably," Kiba said, "Hey look there's Sakura!"

"Huh, she doesn't come here often," Naruto mused glancing back and noticing something else, "Ah shit, Sai's with her. Let's book!"

"I second that!" Kiba said and they jumped from their seats, Naruto quickly grabbing more than enough cash to pay for their coffees and tossing in on the table and putting a glass over top of it to make sure it didn't blow away before the two of them dashed for their vehicles.

They were driving away, Kiba with his window down so they could talk. He asked where they were gonna go now. Naruto said he had no idea and that he didn't care so long as Sai wasn't there. Kiba smirked having every intention of using his words to his advantage.

"To the bar it is then!" Kiba hollered rolling up his window so Naruto wouldn't have a say in the matter. Naruto growled at that, but followed him nevertheless. Once there, they parked beside each other and Kiba got out of the car smirking. Naruto glared and said, "Let's just get this over with."

"Haha, c'mon let's party!" Kiba hollered.

Naruto sighed and followed. He was just relieved that Kiba had picked a place that was both a coffee shop and a bar. They went up to the bar section and Kiba ordered his drink. Naruto didn't say a word.

"Aw, c'mon man, loosen up, have some fun!" Kiba said.

"I'm afraid this just isn't my definition of fun." Naruto said.

"Man, sometimes I don't get you," Kiba said, "This is one of the things that I always thought you'd enjoy."

Unknown to Kiba, Naruto was watching the bartender intently. Paying close attention as he made Kiba his drink. The bartender was definitely aware of it though, if his squirming was any indication.

"Well, you thought wrong." Naruto said plainly.

"I'm not gonna be able to convince you to have a drink am I?" Kiba asked with a sigh.

"Nope," Naruto responded.

"Oh well," Kiba said as he took a swing of his drink that had just been placed in front of him, "Maybe one of these days."

"I wouldn't get my hopes up Kiba." Naruto said.

"Yeah, I know." Kiba said.

Once Kiba had finished his drink he went up to a girl he thought was hot and asked her to dance. She must have said yes because they were now on the dance floor, dirty dancing. Naruto watched them in a bored manner. It's not like he had anything to actually do here. After they had finished their dance Kiba sauntered back over to him with the girl.

"This is my pal, Naruto," Kiba said, "Think you could hook him up?"

"Hook me up?" Naruto asked bewildered. This could not be good.

"Hm, yeah, it should be easy enough..." She said looking thoughtful.

"Hey, I don't..." Naruto got cut off by the girl.

"So, what's your type, blondie?" She asked leaning into his lap suggestively. Naruto was not liking this at all. He was more than ready to book it.

"I think I'll pass on the offer," Naruto said pushing off the stool forcing the girl to back off, "I'm leaving now, bye Kiba."

"Oh c'mon Naruto!" Kiba said.

"Bye," Naruto said.

Sasuke had entered the bar a few minutes ago, simply because he wanted a coffee, but ended up spotting the blonde and his friend Kiba with some girl. It was starting to annoy him that he kept seeing Naruto wherever he went, but there wasn't much he could do about it. It wasn't like the guy was stalking him or anything. It was just an annoying series of coincidences.

He saw the girl lean onto Naruto suggestively and saw Naruto frown and try to move away from the girl. He sure seemed to be having some bad luck today. His friend, Kiba, was just standing there grinning. Obviously, they were probably trying to convince Naruto something. As it turned out, Naruto had jumped off his seat and was now making for the door. Sasuke got his coffee and headed back for the door.

When Sasuke exited the place Naruto glanced over to see who it was since he was barely out of the place, Sasuke having exited seconds after Naruto. Naruto blinked a few times, he looked like he might say something then appeared to have changed his mind and continued walking without a word. Sasuke was glad he didn't try to start up a conversation. He headed for his car and Naruto went to his motorcycle and then they went their separate ways.

When Naruto got to his house he noticed his door was open and he frowned as he quietly made his way to his door. Cautiously he walked inside looking around to see if anyone was in here. It looked normal, there was no one downstairs that was for sure and everything was as he had left it earlier. He frowned further, so who came into his house and more importantly why?

He sighed and slowly made his way upstairs to see if his intruder was there. Part of him was mad at himself that he didn't lock his doors, ever, but he did it so that if anything happened with his friends they could easily come and crash here even if he wasn't there at the time. It had occurred a number of times now actually.

He opened the door to his room and there standing in his room was Sai. Naruto stood there in shock, since when did Sai know where he lived. Sai smirked at him and was starting to undress which snapped Naruto out of his stupor.

"Oh, no, no, no, stop undressing! Put those back on and get out of my house!" Naruto yelled at him.

"Oh, but would I do that Naruto? Now, why don't you come in here and I'll show you a good time." Sai promised seductively.

Naruto abruptly grabbed a bag, quickly tossed some clothes in it and booked it out of his own house. He jumped onto his motorcycle, started it up, and gunned it out of his driveway and made his way to Kiba's house, calling his cell phone. Kiba picked up and said, "Hey man, I'm on my way to your house, where you at?"

"Do not go to my house," Naruto said immediately, "Sai has somehow found out where I live and I need to crash at your place because if I have to go back there I swear he is going to do everything in his power to rape me, even if has to wait until I'm asleep. You've got to help me out here."

"Okay, I'm heading to my house now, you're on your way, right?" Kiba asked.

"Yes, I'm speeding past cars and making my own lane so that Sai can't follow me!" Naruto growled in anger, "I swear I'm gonna kill him next I see him!"

"Can I help?" Kiba asked eagerly.

"The more the merrier." Naruto said.

"Sweet," Kiba said, "Let's get 'im tomorrow at lunch!"

"Deal," Naruto said, "Okay, I'm outside your house, what's the code to your garage I need to park my bike so when Sai is prowling around it will be hidden."

"It's 5-2-2-8-9-4." Kiba said.

"Okay thanks, I'll see you here." Naruto said.

"Yup, later." Kiba said.

Naruto put his phone back in his pocket as he punched in the combination. When the garage doors started to open he went over to his motorcycle and parked it in the garage and then closed it walking into the house. Kiba's family didn't mind it when he did that.

"Oh hey Naruto," Kiba's sister, Hana, said when she saw him.

"Hey Hana," Naruto said as he started up the stairs to Kiba's room.

"Kiba isn't here," She said.

"Yeah I know, he's on his way." Naruto said.

"Oh alright then." She said.

Naruto entered Kiba's room and dropped his things on the ground and crashed on Kiba's bed with a sigh. He was starting to consider making a key for each of his friends so that he would be able to lock his doors. It would be a big help for Naruto. He sighed, he didn't think they would be willing to make him a dozen or so spare keys. Besides, Sai would probably just ask Sakura if he could borrow hers and she just can't say no to him. How annoying is that? He'd figure out something...eventually anyway.
