Disclaimer: Itachi says: "Spicy Lime does not own Naruto, but would like to own me…WAIT A MINUTE!! I did not agree to that!"
Spicy Lime: "Too late!" smiles sweetly.
I decided to type this new story because I've been lacking in my other ones…and I need a break so that I can think of better things for them, so I'm writing this one. Lame excuse, ne? Anyways…
Summary: Naruto is in High School (he's a sophomore). He gets beat up a lot. But only a few really know about Naruto's secret. What is it you may ask? Well…you'll have to read to find out.
Warning: has gang related things.

"…" means regular speech
'…' means thoughts
In the town of Konoha there is a very well known High School. The school's name is Fire City High School (FCHS). Many students go there, because it's a public school and it's in the middle of Konoha. Just like all schools it has it's groups. Preps, Jocks, Emos, Goths, and everything in-between. Although, there are some exceptions.
For instance… take Uzumaki Naruto. He's not really anything. He's just extremely antisocial. He wears whatever he feels like. But what he wears are dark colors. He has unruly (not gravity-defying) blond hair with black tips and bright cerulean eyes. It contrasts with his clothing, but in a good way. For some reason, he has a thing for buckles and chains on his outfits. For instance, at this moment, he's wearing a gray muscle shirt with a black trench coat over it that has many, many buckles and chains on it. He has baggy, black pants on with many pockets and a couple chains on it. The pants are loose fitting, and you could tell that the pockets had tons of hidden objects in them. He had on black converse shoes. He also has five piercings on his right ear and three on the left, along with a left eyebrow piercing. But, his most defining feature is his face. On each of his cheeks he has three lines that look like whisker marks.
But, for as bad boy as he looks, he's not popular. He's completely, totally, undoubtedly the most antisocial person at school. Even Uchiha Sasuke speaks to someone once a month. To put it this way, most people thought he was mute until he had to answer a question from one of his teachers.
At this point in time, Uzumaki Naruto was in his fifth hour class, looking outside the window.
It just so happened that at this point in time, a new student came walking down the hall toward his classroom.
'This better be it, or I will fucking kill the next person I see.' He thought.
KNOCK KNOCKA tall brunette with a scar across his nose opened the door.
"Hello? Oh, you must be the new student!" he said excitedly. The redhead in front of him just nodded. (A/N: guess who! And if you don't get it yet… you're dumber than me!)
"Alright! Class! This will be our new classmate. His name is Subaku Gaara! Now be nice to him. It's his first day." Iruka-sensei said with a smile. "Now where to place you? Hmm…I know! Why don't you sit next to Naruto?" at this, the redhead jumped in surprise, although no one noticed it.
Now, this particular redhead has a very unique tattoo above his left temple. The kanji for love in blood red. He wore mostly neutral and dark colors. Around his eyes are black rings…not from eyeliner, as some people believe. As his emerald eyes looked around the classroom, he spotted the blond and went to his seat.
'I didn't expect to see him here.' Is what they were both thinking at the time.
Once Iruka started a boring speech, Gaara decided to try and talk to Naruto.
"Naruto. Hey, Naruto." Gaara whispered.
As the blond turned around, he saw the rest of the class listening in because they had never heard Naruto actually talk to anyone. So he decided to talk in signs.
"Gaara, what the hell are you doing here?"
"My siblings and I were transferred to this school. It wasn't my choice if it makes you any happier."
(Sigh) "Just so you know, don't act like you know me. Just ignore me during school, all hours. I don't like to show people that I can be… friendly."
"Is anyone else here that I should know about?"
"Everyone except Zabuza, Haku, Anju, and Hiro. As a warning, we try to keep our distance during school, no matter what. Got it?"
"Yeah."
And with that, they ended the conversation, leaving a very confused class who only saw them make a few odd twitches and hand movements.
During lunch:
"You piece of shit! Say something. Oh…wait…that's riiiiigght, I forgot. You're head's in the crapper." Said a rather bulky senior as he pulled Naruto's head out of the toilet.
Yes, poor Naruto has been bullied because of his quiet behavior. It's been happening for years now, and he still hasn't talked to anyone except when he absolutely, positively, has no choice whatsoever (AKA: to answer teacher's questions). He's used to it by now. As he's beaten, he has a neutral face. He displays no emotions.
After giving Naruto a few good dunks in the toilet, the senior decides that he'll just beat him. 'God damn it! I'm gonna make the bitch scream.' He thought viciously. He was really pissed that the blond still hasn't shown any emotion.
As he starts kicking him, he hears the bell, signaling the end of lunch. "We'll continue this later. I'll see you after school, Uzumaki." The senior spat out in disgust.
That's the only school life that Naruto's known. So it's only natural that he hates school. No one would know it, but he's very intelligent. If he really tried, he would come pretty close to being the top of his class. But, to say that he hates FCHS is the understatement of the decade.
There's been many incidents that have rumored to be because of him, but there's never any evidence to back it up. There have been many graffiti accidents that show beautiful art that coexists with school slandering. There were also a few times that the school had been thoroughly trashed. Lockers smashed, windows broken, doors torn off hinges, classes in major disarray, etc. Nothing that can't be fixed. Everyone suspects that these things were done by the blond, but, as I've stated, there's never any evidence to back up the claims.
So, as Naruto picked himself up off of the bathroom floor, he made a decision. 'That bastard will die.' He thought.
End of School:
Unknown to the blond, there is a group of friends (not his friends) that are all walking his way.
They were known as the Nine (A/N: aren't I creative?). There are nine original members of this group, all sophomores. There are three others that hang around with them. Those three are juniors.
The Nine include: Sakura (the pink-haired journalist), Ino (the lean, blond cheerleader), Hinata (the black-haired innocent one), Shino (the sunglass wearing, silent science wiz), Kiba (the spiky-haired jock), Chouji (the culinary expert), Shikamaru (the lazy, intelligent one), Sai (the black-haired analyst and pervert), and Sasuke (the most arrogant, popular, and brooding guy in school). The three juniors are TenTen (Chinese weapons specialist), Lee (strange martial arts specialist with a bowl cut), and Neji (believes in fate and is almost as bad as Sasuke).
The twelve friends basically consist of the most popular out of their groups. Like Shikamaru is one of the most popular smart kids and Kiba is one of the most popular jocks.
The odd thing is that Neji, TenTen, and Ino have tattoos and piercings on their faces that set them apart from the rest. Neji has a unique, twirling design that has a raven intertwined in it above his right eyebrow and an ear piercing. TenTen has a tattoo of a shuriken on her left cheekbone and a lip piercing. Ino has a nose ring and a tattoo of a bleeding, black rose on her jaw line.
The others weren't as… unique. But they had all become quick friends.
The main topic of the group lately is actually about the young blond that was trying to get his books out of his locker and head towards the door. They were actually talking about him because of the most recent displays of artwork in the cafeteria.
"You know…I bet it was that Naruto kid again." Said Chouji while munching on some chips.
"Well, they n-never had anything to pin it o-on him, so you can't really s-say that." Replied Hinata.
"Yeah, but who else is that good at graffiti?" said Ino.
"Troublesome. There are tons of other students that are good at graffiti." Shikamaru said in a tired voice.
"So! I bet that Sasuke-kun is even better at graffiti. Isn't that right, Sasuke-kun?" shouted Sakura towards the angsty teen.
"Hn." He grunted.
"Actually, I have Sasuke in my art class and to put it lightly… he sucks! It's almost as if he can't even make stick people!" said Kiba.
"GOD DAMNIT!!!" shouted someone in front of them. None of them had ever heard a voice like that. They sounded really pissed off too. But as they rounded the corner, all they saw was the blond boy that they were talking about.
"He didn't just shout, did he? I've never heard him talk, let alone shout." Whispered Chouji.
The rest just shook their heads in disbelief. 'No… it couldn't have been the blond. He's just too quiet to do that.' They all thought. It was then that they saw a senior walking by them, toward the blond.
WHAM!He slammed the boy's locker shut.
"I said 'I'll see you later.'" He said. "You're coming with me. Outside. Now." He said as the blond stood up and followed with a hint of a smirk on his face.
As they two boys walked off, the group of friends stood there shocked. "Did he just smirk?" they all asked.
It was then that they realized that the blond was going to get into a fight. So, they naturally followed.
When they arrived, they saw the blond and senior were in an alley. Luckily, neither boy saw the group arrive.
"So, are you ready for a beat down?" asked the senior in a confident voice, pounding his fists together. The blond just nodded, making the senior falter a bit.
"Why you…" As the older boy punched the blond in the stomach, he saw something that he never expected from the emotionless boy. A smirk.
As he was about to ask what that smirk was about, he was hit in the jaw. Hard. He turned and saw Naruto take something out of his bag that he never expected. A lead pipe. "You were saying?" he asked cockily, with an evil smirk that promised a world of pain.
So…as you can tell, I was out of ideas for my other stories and decided to start another one that I was thinking of doing. Well, now it's not a thought, it's a fanfic. So…if I am out of ideas for my other stories again, I will be working on this one, so the updates may take a while for it. I also thought that since I hadn't seen any actual fics., (yes, I'm going to make you guess.) that I would make one.
Well, on a side note… I have a fucking research paper that's going to be due, so I will probably have even less time for updates this entire week. I know school is there to make you smart and it's really fun to hang with my friends all the time, but I really think that teachers don't understand that we have lives. I mean… I'm busy Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and some Tuesdays. Then add homework to the mix and you have a really stressed student. Know what I mean?
Well, enough rambling. Heh. Goodbyes.
