Hey guys I decided to re-upload this chapter again (third times' a charm XP) Hopefully this is better than the first two attempts (sigh)
Chapter 1- Childhood Horrors
Flashback
It was just a normal day at Konoha academy, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and Iruka was boring his first year music class. Sasuke Uchiha stares into space as Iruka goes on about how 'dynamics changes the sound of music' he says passionately. Sasuke was never particularly interested in music, on the contrary he thought it was a waste of time and effort, why should people waste their good time and money learning to sing and/or play an instrument? As the class set to work writing sheet music, Iruka was constantly looking at his watch then to the door mumbling to himself.
Sasuke noticed this after all he didn't need to try with his work for he had already done it. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door, everyone stopped what they were doing and drew their attention to the door as a tall man with grey/silver hair and a surgical mask entered the room with a young blonde.
"Oi! Kakashi! You're late! Where on Earth have you been?!" screamed Iruka
"I'm sorry," the other man apologised, "I got lost in the circle of life."
"Liar!" Iruka mumbled, and then stared at the boy.
As Iruka did so, so did the class, everyone making their quick judgements. The girls thought he was cute, the boys thought he was a girl whereas Sasuke thought he was the most unusual boy he ever seen. The boy wasn't very tall, how could he, he was only seven, same as the other boys. However he was a dirty blonde with distinct whisker marks on his cheeks, everyone thought this was cool it almost made him look like a bad boy or a rock star. However his big blue eyes and his innocent face kind of defeated the purpose.
Kakashi noticed these stares and decided to take his leave, just as he was going he said "I'll leave you then, have fun."
"OI KAKASHI-SENSAI DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" the boy screamed but Kakashi had already left
The boy closed his eyes and smiled to himself, he then turned himself to Iruka who said, "Would you like to introduce yourself or shall I?"
"I'll do it," the boy said confidently he then positioned himself in front of the class and said, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, I don't like the time it takes to cook ramen and my ambition is to become a high society diplomat of some sort." Naruto was very impressed with his choice of words
"So the Hokage then?" asked Iruka
"Um… yeah but I like music too so maybe I'd do something with that," he replied
Iruka smirked, "Well then why don't you give us a little sample of your talent Naruto? Consider it a punishment for being late, or would you like a detention instead?"
Naruto thought about it for a second then replied, "I'll perform I think."
Iruka directed Naruto to the piano staged at the front of the room, "Be my guest Mr Uzuamaki, and please don't hesitate to perform some dynamics, we've be learning about dynamics haven't we class?" the class said nothing in reply, "You know about dynamics I assume Mr Uzumaki?"
"Yes sensei I do," the boy replied, sitting on the piano chair provided, "I think I'll play something I wrote if you don't mind?" Iruka nodded in reply
It was then and there Naruto Uzumaki shocked his fellow peers and teachers with his musical talent on the piano.
New kid in the classroom
Standing on his own
Could he be the one child
That everyone will know
Will you remember his name?
Or will he fade away
Away
(Starting beat)
Keep your stares and thoughts to you
Cuz you'll never know the pain he's through
The heartbreak that he's felt
The friends he's left behind
The terror and the dreams that all combine
Swirling around in his head
Imprisoned in his thoughts
Trapped in his dreams
In hopes of making of a reality
(chorus)
Dream dream away
Cuz the child is no harm to you
Don't keep his passions at bay
Because he ain't harming you
Though he's gone to a new place now
He's always promised to disallow
The hate of his new peers,
That will cause him to cry
With tales of failure in his eyes
His dreams will echo true
Above all of you
(Chorus)
So
Dream dream away
Cuz the child is no harm to you
Don't keep his passions at bay
Because he ain't harming you
Devils can play his strings of live
But he will rise above the strife
His dreams will prevail
His hopes will survive
His wishes will grow
Into life
(Chorus 2.0)
So dream child
Don't let it fade
Cuz no harm
Will defer from your bay
You will run
And you will rise
Until your dreams come true.
Everyone clapped and cheered at Naruto, no seven year old boy surely could have that sort of musical talent, but never the less the boy was amazing still the same. Sasuke instantly thought 'Naruto Uzumaki huh?' he smirked, 'you're mine!' how ironic is that, the boy who hates music and anything to do with music has fallen head over heels for Naruto, a loud-mouthed musician.
After Iruka finally stopped being gobsmacked he interrupted the cheers, "Well well…. QUIET!" the class became silent, "Well…um why don't you take your seat Naruto?"
The boy looked confused, "Where do I sit Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka had a sense of realisation, "Oh right, well why don't you sit next Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha, please raise your hand." Sasuke smirked his signature smirk secretly thanking Iruka in his head; he then raised his hand to direct the blonde.
Naruto walked up to Sasuke and sat down next to him, "Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki! It's great to meet you Sasuke!"
Sasuke smirked and replied, "Dobe."
(Time skip)
It was easy to say that Naruto Uzumaki didn't like Sasuke Uchiha; after all he was smarter than Naruto, taller than Naruto, more handsome than Naruto…Wait did he really say that? Well anyway Sasuke instantly became Naruto's enemy and he was determined to beat him, little did he know that he technically already won, no one could sing or dance like Naruto, he was always in the school's plays and performances. But that didn't really seem to matter to Naruto; he had to beat Sasuke at something he was already good at otherwise it wouldn't be half as embarrassing and humiliating on Sasuke's part.
The rivalry continued up until they were sixteen in high school when they were partnered up as judo opponents in PE, Sasuke was obviously better at it than Naruto but he was determined as always to beat him. He'd always stay behind after school and he worked even harder during the day but even still he was no match for Sasuke.
One night as Naruto continued his judo Asuma sensei came rushing in, "I'm so sorry Naruto but I have to go, Kurenai has gone into labour. Can you lock up for me?"
Naruto smiled, "Of course Asuma sensei, you must be there for your Kurenai and the baby too of course."
"Thanks Naruto, I'll let you know if it's a boy or a girl," he replied running out the door
Naruto continued training for another good hour then he decided it was time to leave, just as he was beginning to clean up the lights went out.
Naruto frowned, "Is anyone there?" No reply, "Hello?" nothing. Naruto's anger began to grow, "ALRIGHT YOU BASTARD, SHOW YOURSELF!"
"Alright then" was all Naruto heard when he was tackled to the floor
Naruto couldn't see the person's specific details but he could tell that he was a boy, who was stronger than him, taller than him at least that was his guess and he also had a low recognisable voice. Wait a minute!
"SASUKE YOU BASTARD WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
The lights went on again and Sasuke was in full view. Naruto could see Sasuke was wearing his usual blue T-shirt with black jeans.
"Hello Naruto," he said, "Sorry but I couldn't wait any longer."
"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU MMRGH!" but Naruto was interrupted by Sasuke's mouth on his own.
Naruto was shocked to say the least, on the contrary his entire world crumbled. His worst enemy was kissing him. Sasuke forced his tongue into Naruto's mouth exploring every cavern available to him. Naruto slowly complied, both their tongues caressing the others, Naruto's mind was gone. What was he doing? He was kissing his worst enemy and what's worse that enemy is a boy and not only that he's Sasuke! But for some reason that didn't even matter, Naruto was completely lost in lust. In fact when Sasuke stopped Naruto moaned in complaint.
Sasuke smiled, "You're mine Naruto and you always have been since the day you entered this school. I love you," Sasuke kissed him again; this time Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck bringing the two closer.
That day would be known as the day the two hottest guys in school got together, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. Surprisingly enough, the school accepted the two; no one made fun of the two and if they did Sasuke made sure they'd 'mysteriously vanish' for a day or two. Once they'd return Naruto would receive no trouble at all.
During the summer a new boy came into school, he had red hair, panda eyes make up and a scar on his forehead. They called him Gaara. Naruto instantly grew close to him Sasuke thought it was because Naruto knew what it was like to be the new kid but oh how wrong he was.
"OH MY GOD! I can't believe you play drums Gaara that is so COOL!" screamed Naruto hugging Gaara. Sasuke was furious, "We could totally be in a band or something."
"Yeah sure Naruto, you sing and I'll play drums we would be awesome," Gaara replied
"Naruto can I talk to you for a minute?" interrupted Sasuke
Naruto smiled whereas Gaara frowned, "Sure Sasuke what's up?"
Sasuke frowned, "Alone!"
Naruto frowned, "Oh right, be right back Gaara."
"Okay Naruto," Gaara replied
Sasuke took Naruto by the hand and led him away out Gaara's ear shot. Sasuke whispered, "You will not join this band Naruto, your lovely voice so for me and me alone, understand?"
"Are you jealous?" whispered Naruto in return
"That does not matter; I don't want you in with 'his' lot, they seem like trouble," Sasuke finished
Naruto smirked amusingly, "Gaara's new, and he doesn't have a crowd Sasuke."
Sasuke frowned, "But he will be, you've seen the way he looks he's obviously going to end up in a bad crowd, and I don't want you to be in one too, please Naruto, for me?"
Naruto thought for a second then nodded, Sasuke smiled and kissed him saying, 'thank you, I love you.' Naruto smiled then went over to Gaara.
"I'm sorry Gaara but I can't join the band, I think I'm gonna step down from music for a while," he said not meeting his eyes
Gaara looked at Sasuke then at Naruto, "I understand Naruto but if you need anything, anything at all call me,"
Gaara gave Naruto his phone number, "Thanks Gaara."
Gaara was never seen nor mentioned again and Sasuke couldn't be happier, he could go without the opponents. Little did he know that Naruto was secretly talking to Gaara over video chat and email for the next ten years.
Okay so the first time I wrote this fanfic I used a copyright song (I KNOW I'M SORRY!) so it was taken down. The second time I uploaded the fanfic I just missed the song out all together which although people still liked, I personally wasn't pleased with it. SO after YEARS i decided to upload again with a new ORIGINAL SONG!
Hope you liked it and Please review
Thank you
