A/N: Yo! My fifth fic! As promised, a Konoha High style fic. A oneshot at the moment. Not the most appealing of titles I know, but it's more original.
Multiple reasons why I wrote this, inspiration by a fic call Camp Romances, a good NaruHina central fic. Last time I checked it was about 30 chapters long. Check it out if you've got time. Inspiration from KHS by Damleg *Translated by Onhikage* on Deviantart. A great Konoha high Doujin. Inspiration from Bad Boy's Heart by Badazz writer (I think) for Naruto's band. And some personal reasons which I will now rant. I am sick and tired of schoolkids bitching about how much they hate school and how their life at school sucks, now I hated school, but I've left, I can have more negative comments about it now, I can look back and say "that sucked!". I'm in college now, and honestly, I'd rather be back in school. It easy easily the easiest years of your life, after the day when you crapped in diapers. I'm in college, the work is hard. I need to know what I want out of my future, and I just can't find a career that interests me. So I wrote this fic in hopes that when these whiny school kids read it, they realise that school doesn't suck as bad as they think. People change in college, your friends drift off. Remember this, and don't do drugs. Do smiles :D
Anyway rant over. Pairings have been decided, so suggestions can be given, but I'd need a lot of persuading to change my plans. Two of the pairings are quite rare, one only has five fics marked with that pairing. the other only has one, see if you can find it.
Band members picked, again a little cliche but my stories like I like my rap. Old school.
I rated it M to be safe. There is a backstory that might not be suitable so be warned.
Well that's about it, see you in however long it takes for you to read this chapter.
CURTAINS UP!
"Hey. Hey. Hey, Naruto wake up."
Each hey was accompanied by a poke to the head. The voice was becoming louder, and it sounded annoyed. The voice was drilling through Naruto's sleepy 16 year old head.
"What." Naruto mumbled into his pillow, spiky yellow hair blocking his head from view.
"When I said you could stay the night, that didn't mean you could stay in my room." The voice pointed out. Still quite ticked off.
"Shut up, Sasuke." Naruto mumbled, turning on his side, sure enough it was morning. The light broke through small cracks around the curtains, one hitting him directly in the face. He saw Sasuke standing above him. Where a plain white collared shirt with matching black pant. Formal black dress shoes on his feet. Naruto stared at him distastefully through sleepy eyes. "I was having a good dream. What's with the get up?"
"We start our new school today, remember." Sasuke looked down at Naruto. "The public one. Rikudō High, apparently it's very prestigious and the demand a lot."
Naruto shot up, his body still slouched giving one massive yawn while stretching his back, he grinned madly. "I was never too good at school. I'm surprised they let my stay in that private one for so long."
"But they kicked you out, didn't they." Sasuke pointed out the obvious. "And they kicked me out with you. For being an 'accomplice'."
Naruto continued grinning. "Admit it Sasuke, you hated it there. I know you, all those rules and regulations. You felt like just another sheep in the herd."
Sasuke sighed, shaking his head while doing so. "Whatever. Just get dressed."
Two plates had already been set out in front of them. Bacon, Eggs, Beans a full breakfast. Naruto began gorging instantly. But being careful not to spill anything on his white shirt. His attire was exactly the same as Sasuke's but his feet were adorned with plain white sneakers.
"Your cooking's so good, Mikoto-san! You're always so nice to me!" Naruto smiled at Sasuke's mom, who was currently still washing dishes from preparing the big breakfast. Naruto not stopping eating as he spoke to her.
Mikoto laughed softly over her shoulder. "Thank you, Naruto. I promised Kushina that I would look after you. That includes a nice breakfast."
Naruto stopped eating, his fork fell onto the plate. His face falling along with it. That was never a good sign. Once a meal was placed in front of Naruto, he wouldn't stop until the plate was emptied. Sasuke knew that subject was hard for Naruto, so he quickly changed it. "Any news on Itachi, mom?"
Mikoto's eyebrows rose. "Oh yes. He and his art group finally received their funding." Her face lit up. "They start touring the country with their art soon and will be returning to town in a few months."
Sasuke nodded, turning his attention back to his food. But Mikoto wasn't finished.
"I'm glad things finally picked up for him. I still remember the day he told your dad that that was what he wanted to do."
Sasuke could remember it too. The fury in his father's voice was unimaginable. Itachi had received extraordinary results in his examinations, and his father all ready had Itachi's career set up. But Itachi wasn't having it. He shouted in return, saying that he want control of his own life. Itachi left that night without saying goodbye. He kept in contact with his mom, but he rarely came to visit in person.
"Let's go, Naruto." Sasuke spoke. Naruto had already finished eating, he nodded, standing up with Sasuke and saying goodbye to Mikoto. They walked together into the garage, flicking the lights on.
They lit up instantly. Naruto and Sasuke looked around, they had a few cars, and a motorbike each. Naruto kept his motorbike at Sasuke's house, seeing as that was where he would ride it too.
"So which one should we take?" Naruto looked over to Sasuke, who had his eye on one car in particular.
"It's our first day, so we don't want to bring too much attention to ourselves." Sasuke smirked, already moving towards his choice.
Naruto sighed under his breath. "So he picks the Chrysler ME 4-12."
Ino played with her platinum blond hair. Sorting it out into place. He was walking past, she needed to look her best. She caught a glimpse of his purple eyes framed perfectly by his medium length blue tinted white hair. His uniform was the same as everyone else. But he looked so much better.
Ino sorted out her loose black skirt and made sure her stockings were pulled up high. Her white shirt wasn't a problem. She waited for him to close, but he walked straight passed her, deep in a conversation with another student.
Ino sighed in defeat, turning to her pink haired friend. Who had been standing quietly next to her. "You think Suigetsu even knows I exist?"
Sakura turned to her. "I wouldn't worry about it. Hey! Did you here? We're getting two new boys this term."
At that moment a low, silver car drove in. The doors opened. From the drivers seat a boy with onyx black hair and a pair of eyes two match stepped out. From the passenger side, a boy with bright blonde hair and big blue eyes appeared. The dark haired boy locked the door electronically, walking straight through the crowds, seemingly unaware that everyone was staring at them.
The blonde one did know, he waved madly to some people as he walked passed. Girls giggled, guys scowled. Many girls had blushes on their faces because of the two of them.
"Not bad." Ino admitted.
However Sakura couldn't hear her. She was entranced, the way he held himself. How he calmly looked at everything. This new boy, he was different.
Naruto and Sasuke entered the building. The front walls were mostly built of glass, but rock came in the building the further they went in. A receptionist sat at the desk in the entrance. Shortish black hair. She looked over to the two of them and smiled, gesturing them to come over.
"You must be Naruto Namikaze and Sasuke Uchiha. Principal Tsunade has been expecting you." She smiled widely, pointing them to the flight of stairs that would lead to the Principal's office.
Naruto and Sasuke climbed them, there was only one door when they reached the top. The door was small but grand. Naruto and Sasuke moved towards it. Sasuke was about to knock, but Naruto just opened it and walked straight on in.
The principal seemed prepared for such an action from him. "Do you know how much trouble you are, Naruto?" The principal yelled at him, Naruto panicked at the tone of her voice.
Naruto's panic faded pretty quickly, grinning madly. "You wouldn't have me any other way, Tsunade-baa-chan!"
Principal Tsunade smirked. "You are one lucky bastard, Naruto. Jiraiya pulled a lot of strings to get you and Sasuke in here. Sasuke was easy, but your records. But that's besides the point, I am your principal now. So you shall refer to me as such. If I so much as hear you whisper baa-chan about me again. I'll expel you faster than you can say oh."
Naruto gulped hard. "Yes, Principal Tsunade." He mumbled out quietly.
Tsunade smiled again. "Now, at Rikudō high, Maths, Science and English are compulsory. However to fill out your busy weekdays, you must selected five optional courses of your own choosing. You could take advanced courses of any of the compulsory subjects if you pleased. Here is a list of what the school offers." She threw the sheet at Naruto and Sasuke, followed by two pens. "Tick the boxes next to the subjects you wish to take."
Naruto and Sasuke hovered over the list, mumbling a conversation at even from Tsunade's distance, she couldn't interpret. The pen's ticked the five boxes on the sheet. Both boys handing it and the pens back to her.
Naruto had selected PE, Music, Mechanics, Geography and Catering. While Sasuke had chosen PE, Music, Mechanics, Art and Law. Tsunade sent the sheet through the fax machine. "Shizune will collect that and create suitable time schedules for each of you. Now that that's done, we'll assign you home rooms." Tsunade grinned at Naruto's panicked face.
"Please, Principal Tsunade. Can you put us in the same home room?" Naruto almost begged, he wanted to know at least one person.
Tsunade looked at him silently for a few moments. "If it will keep you quiet. You and Sasuke will go to room 315. That is your home room, you a required to attend every Monday and Friday morning, for the schools bulletins or to get help from your home room teacher. On your timetable their will be free periods, they will be yours to do what you wish. But I suggest you use them to catch up with work you might fall behind on."
She pressed a button on her desk. "Shizune, you may send Suigetsu up now."
A few moments passed. Then a boy entered, with medium length blue-tinted white hair. The typical uniform, but with black sneakers on his feet. "You wanted to see me." He grinned as he entered the room.
"Yes. Naruto, Sasuke, this is Suigetsu Hozuki. Suigetsu, this is Naruto Namikaze and Sasuke Uchiha. I have assigned you to show them around a bit." Tsunade explained to him. Suigetsu nodded at the two of them.
"You guys were in that Chrysler. That was a sweet ride dude." Suigetsu grinned at the both of them.
"Thanks." Sasuke replied for the both of them.
"Good." Tsunade spoke up. "Go down to Shizune to pick up your time tables. Go on, get out of my face!"
The three of them quickly high tailed it out of her office. Going back to the receptionist, she handed them their schedules. Suigetsu peeked over both of them.
"Oh cool. You're in my home room. I'll give you a quick tour on the way there." Suigetsu continued grinning. Naruto and Sasuke followed him. Going around Suigetsu showed them the cafeteria. The main hall, a few classes, he took them up two flights of stairs and along a corridor, arriving at room 315. "Well here we are. I wish I could have given a better tour, but it'll have to do for now." He smiled once more, before entering the class room. Naruto and Sasuke followed in after him.
The room had erupted in chatter, no one even noticed they came in. Suigetsu had already waved goodbye and sat with people he knew. Naruto spotted two empty seats right at the back, quickly taking them for him and Sasuke. Sasuke sat down next to him.
"Lets go over out schedules. See what we have together." Sasuke suggested, taking out his time table. Naruto took his out, placing it next to Sasuke's.

"Look at that! We have PE, Mechanics, Music and Maths together. Oh, and look at Tuesday's times. I think I found my new favourite day. I'm going home then!" Naruto told Sasuke in glee. "Am I allowed to do that?" Sasuke nodded, making Naruto punch the air.
"We finish at 5:30 every other day, it's not a surprise seeing how high the school's expectations are. But I thought we would have more lessons on our optional subjects." Sasuke said, looking at his time table.
Sorting that out Naruto and Sasuke talked for the rest of home room. It was now five minutes before the end of the homeroom time and still the teacher didn't show.
Just then the door opened. A man with a mop of silver hair lazily strutted in. What caught Naruto's eye was the fact he was wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face.
"Sorry, I'm late." The man waved to the class. "My car broke down so I had to pull it here myself."
The class erupted with protests of "Liar!" The man only chuckled in a sheepish manner, rubbing the back of his head. He opened his eyes, seeing Naruto and Sasuke sitting in the back of the class. "Oh, so the two newbies are in my class. My name is Kakashi Hatake, I don't believe in that whole sir nonsense, so Kakashi-sensei is just fine."
The whole class turned to look at them, they were now only realising they were there. Murmurs began about them. Naruto shot up his hand. "I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"Why are you wearing a mask?"
The class seemed interested, everyone turning back around to face Kakashi.
"There's a flu epidemic going around. Don't want to catch it." Kakashi gave another smile to the class.
Naruto was perplexed, he had heard about the epidemic, but "Wasn't that five months ago-"
Naruto's voice was masked by the sound of a ringing bell. "Well, there's the bell. Get to class and remember to be good. Because if you are bad, then I get an earful. So do your favourite sensei a favour." Kakashi gave another smile as he pushed them off to their lessons.
Naruto and Sasuke stood outside the room. "Well, I've got catering which is this way. And you've got Art which is that way. So I'll see you in Maths later." Naruto spoken.
"Yeah." Sasuke replied. Giving Naruto a quick fist bump, before taking off in the opposite direction.
Naruto swivelled on his feet and faced the opposite way Sasuke left. Time for Catering. However' there was one small problem...
'WHERE THE HELL IS THIS CATERING CLASS AT?' Naruto screamed in his own head. He had been up and down three flights of stairs, pretty sure he had gone in a complete circle around this corridor. Naruto was now running down the empty corridors, who knew how late he was.
Things started to heat up. 'Ovens?' Naruto grinned. Running through the heat. His prayers were answered, there it was. Heaven. The door was a plain white. "Catering" written on it. Naruto sped through the door. Interrupting the teacher halfway through her sentence. "Sorry, I'm late. I got seriously lost." Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, chuckling all the while.
"It's alright. My name is Ayame Ichiraku, the catering teacher." She was young, really young. A petite body frame and a round face framed with long brown hair. "Please take a seat."
Naruto nodded, picking the closest one to him. The teacher continued. "Well, you still have ingredients from when you last term. To get rid of your rustiness, today we will bake a simple cake. You may decorate it how you wish."
Naruto looked around nervously. "Er...Ayame-sensei. I don't have any ingredients. I'm sorta new."
Ayame gave a quick sigh. "Right well." She looked around. "Hinata, you always have plenty of ingredients, would you mind lending him some?"
The girl in question blushed like crazy, but nodded slowly.
"Great. Please work on the same counter as Hinata please." Ayame sounded very cheerful. She quickly let everyone get off to work. Naruto walked over to the lavender haired girl, who had already began weighing ingredients out for the both of them.
"Er..hi." Naruto spoke uneasy. "Thanks for letting me use some ingredients, I'll get you something in return."
The girl squeaked slightly. "It's alright." Her voice could barely be classed as a whisper.
"Sorry, my name's Naruto Namikaze. What's yours?" Naruto smiled at her, he would have weighed out his own ingredients, but this girl was already finishing off both sets.
"I am Hinata Hyuuga." She replied nervously. She handed Naruto all of his ingredients. Naruto sieved the flour and added the eggs, beating them furiously with the whisk.
"Hinata, that's a pretty name." Naruto smiled, she was really nervous. He wanted her to feel a little at ease.
Hinata turned to face him, she had seen him early today. His bright blond hair was noticeable a mile away and now that she was right next to him, she could see the depth of his bright ocean blue eyes. They were almost mesmerising. She couldn't look him in the face.
She smiled weakly in return. Naruto returned with a wide grin. It remained this way for the rest of the lesson, Naruto trying to get her to talk to him and Hinata barely squeaking anything out. She laughed a few times, especially at the point when he was in a rush to get the cake that he forgot the oven mitts. Grasping the cake pan with his bare head. Naruto jumped about two metres of the floor, before throwing his fingers in his mouth, sucking on them. Her laugh was quiet, but still audible, she made just the faintest sound. It was cute.
'She's a nice girl.' Naruto commented in his mind. 'A little weird and a lot of shy. But nice.'
Naruto sat with Sasuke at a table in the cafeteria. After cooking Maths was uneventful. Sasuke doing most of the work, not even giving Naruto a chance to answer the questions.
"So I was thinking-" Naruto was half through the sentence when a hand slammed onto their table. A boy with long black hair spiked upwards glared at them with a cocky grin, he was surrounded by about 6 cronies.
Sasuke noted how everyone else in the cafeteria had moved away from them, making a circle around them.
"You the new guys, right. The name's Zaku, and just to let you know, this is my school. So you just do what I say and we'll get along perfectly." The boy who slammed his hand down ordered them.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at him with raised brows. "Well, Zaku. I just don't care. So why don't you stay out of my way." Naruto spoke up against the boy, many people in the crowd gasped.
Naruto felt a hand wrap around his collar, pulling him up. "What did you say punk!" Zaku growled out, holding Naruto at eye level.
Sasuke stood up, gripping Zaku's wrist with his hand. Staring hard at Zaku. "Sit down queer!" Zaku barked out, looking hard at Sasuke.
"Hey Zaku." Zaku turned to face Naruto who called him. He received a strong headbutt to his nose, instantly he dropped Naruto and fell to the floor, holding his bloody nose in pain. "Don't insult my best friend."
Zaku's cronies instantly jumped in. Swing punches at Naruto and Sasuke. Both who fought back, despite being seriously outnumbered.
But the fought better, landing more blows and dodging more of theirs. The fight was compressed into a small circle, not much movement.
A shadow appeared above them, followed by a body landing on a few of Zaku's crew. White hair swung everywhere as he stood up. Suigetsu looked over to Naruto and Sasuke and gave them a wink complete with a wide grin, before turning and punching one of the staggering crew members in the face.
The cheers for the fight to continue intensified upon Suigetsu's arrival. Naruto and Sasuke smirked at him, turning back to beating the crap out of all Zaku's crew members.
Tsunade watched the fight escalate in the cafeteria from the balcony overhead. She saw Zaku grab Naruto by the collar first, so she knew who was to blame. But she didn't expect Naruto and Sasuke to fight back the way they did. Taking on Zaku's whole crew.
She watched Suigetsu's idiocy at full throttle. The boy was very popular for being a fierce friend. He was liked by the boys and girls alike. Suigetsu, using the table as a pedestal to stand above the crowd literally dived head first into the fight. Taking Sasuke and Naruto side, beating up the entire crew with them. The cheers for the fight to continue escalated upon Suigetsu's entry. No one made an attempt to stop it.
Tsunade shook her head, sighing heavily. "Oh, boy." She looked back up, the fight still going on. Teachers now moving towards and through the crowd to stop the fight. "What a year this is going to be."
A/N: Well, how was it? I'll admit it wasn't as good as some of the other konoha high fics in this site. And this was quite hard for me to write, but I want to broaden my creative horizons so to speak. And honestly, I'm not to good with the lovey dovey stuff, so if stuff doesn't sound lovey dovey, that's my fault.
Look up Chrysler ME 4-12 in google images, or whatever you got. It is one sexy car.
Er...that's about it really.
Rinne-Kami, Out!
