NeaNea: Okay so here's the first chapter! I do plan on continuing my other story, my computer is dead (D:) with the chapters for it and having rewritten the first half 12th chapter 3 times, I'm not to keen on starting it over again. So I borrowed my sissy's comp and started this instead.

And Now ladies and Gents "Worthless"

Chapter I

I am

The sharp biting sting of the stolen kitchen knife was the only real thing he could feel, his eyes had glazed over, and the sensation of a warm liquid running down his leg. Yes, he knew this was wrong, dangerous, but he had stopped caring long ago. Sighing he reached into his nightstand and grabbed a bandage roll, slow and careful he wrapped his bleeding upper leg before standing and making his way to his small closet. Looking over his clothes he grabbed a pair of his loose fitting uniform pants and a long sleeve button down shirt, quickly dressing, he clumsily tied his tie and grabbed his school blazer and messenger bag on the way out the door.

He lived in the shitty-est apartment complex in town, his godfather paid for school so the least he could do was pay for a place and his bills, he didn't want to be a burden to the only family he had left. He quickly walked the three miles to school, careful for his injured leg, making it five minutes before first bell. Sasuke always seemed to know just when he'd show up, cracking his knuckles the raven haired teen stood from his seat,

"Late as always moron."

Now he had two options, he could try and confront the taller, stronger teen, or he could try his luck and dash around him and into the safety of the school.

Luck it was. Crouching slightly he tried to speed past the other but Sasuke was quicker, Sasuke caught him by the arm and quickly threw him to the ground and a swift kick to his left hip. Suddenly a pale hand pulled him up by the shoulder, another catching the Uchiha's knee (which from the looks of it would have caught his chin).

Looking up to see his savior, a teen maybe a few inches taller than himself (but still a few inches shorter then Sasuke) with deep red hair, stood above him, the red head's sea foam eyes glanced at him for a second before shoving the raven haired teen's knee back, causing said teen to stumble back a few steps and glare. The redhead met the look with one of absolute boredom; Sasuke cocked back his fist as the redhead gently pushed the shorter male out of the way. He caught Sasuke's hand and sharply twisted it, the raven haired teen sank to his knees

"Leave him be," the redhead said still looking bored,

again pushing the raven back. Holding his injured hand, Sasuke stood still glaring at the redhead, before turning and walking away.

His eyes met sea foam again,

"Thank you for helping me, I'm Naruto Uzumaki." He said,

Reaching out his hand for a shake,

"Gaara Shukaku."

The redhead then stepped past him and into the school. Naruto smiled a little, no one had ever stepped in before, at least not for him. Rushing to his homeroom, after realizing that late bell had already rung, and quickly taking his seat.

Gaara came in shortly after, the teacher just pointed him to the empty seat next Naruto, the blond carefully stole a few glances at the silent redhead while avoiding the glares from the other side of the room. So far today was a weird day for him, weird but good.
