Ah, a new school year. September. The worst month ever. All the little kids so perky they'll meet new people. And screaming when their moms leave them.

Konoha Elementary. Naruto's new school. He walked in the front entrance with Iruka-sensei, his caretaker. Naruto's parents died when he was a baby. Iruka was a teacher at Konoha Elementary. Naruto was always fond of Iruka. He thought of him as a dad.

Naruto walked in. He was only 8. Until then he had always been homeschooled by Iruka since he was 6. Naruto looked around. He had never been around so many people. He was new to crowds. But he wasn't new to people. He felt comfortable. He knew lots of people. Sasuke was entering now. Naruto looked back at the young Uchiha.

He was fighting against Itachi, his elder brother. "Nii-san, let me go!!" "No, Sasuke, you need this. The people here teach you how to be smart." Sasuke eyed him. "Can't I just read books?" "No, Sasuke. Besides, they have more than books here. They have people who can help you learn." "That's what they had back at my old academy.." Sasuke whined. He obviously didn't want to meet new people.

"Sasuke, that was a private school. This is a public school." Itachi clarified. Sasuke grimaced, and stared off. "Iruka-sensei? How come people don't like to meet other people?" Iruka turned to his little child. "Well, they do. It's just, some people tend to be shy." Naruto stared back at the younger boy. This time the other boy eyed him. He smirked evilly. Not a good sign when an Uchiha smirks. Ever.

Sasuke ran fast, and Itachi lost his grip. Sasuke ran straight for Naruto, pushing anyone else out of his way. A few feet away, he jumped and prepared to glomp him. Shuffle. Thud.

Sasuke looked up at the other boy from the floor. Naruto was smirking back at him. Not a good sign when an Uzumaki smirks either. Sasuke didn't know that. Naruto jumped on him. Iruka wasn't even holding his hand, so it wasn't that hard. Naruto took his hair in his hands. Sasuke did the same thing. Wrestling.

Sasuke and Naruto knew each other from the park. They would fight like there's no tomorrow. Iruka and Itachi knew this had to stop. For the good of the young girls. Naruto pulled at Sasuke's ears, while Sasuke just kept pulling at Naruto's hair. Iruka, on the other hand was pulling at Naruto himself. As well as Itachi helping to stop Sasuke.

They finally broke apart. Naruto growled, with an evil smirk still on. Sasuke was smirking, but his lips were pursed. The boys obviously just thought it was fun to fight. They were only 8, so they didn't know any better. Naruto laughed. Sasuke stuck out his tongue. It was then that a new girl entered. Naruto and Sasuke looked over.

Her hair; bubble-gum colored. Her eyes; shining emerald. Her outfit; crimson red. A cute little 8-year-old. As well as another 8-year-old. Her hair; blonde. Her eyes; soft periwinkle. Her outfit; plum purple. Both way out of their leagues.

Naruto and Sasuke looked back at each other. Smirks and all. They fought out of their caretakers' grips and glomped each other kicking, punching, pulling. The little girls couldn't help but watch. They ran over, and the little rosette yelled out a 'stop!' Their plan. They looked up at her, smirking. They got up. "What's your name?" Naruto said cutely, directing the question at both girls. "I'm Sakura, and this is Ino, she's my friend." the rosette said, her hands playing along with her words.

"I'm Naruto, and that kid's my best friend." Sasuke smiled, nodding. Iruka and Itachi were confused. 'Friend?' Don't you mean 'enemy?' Iruka and Itachi thought about this for a moment.

"You think they fight like cubs?" "Hmm?" Iruka heard Itachi's words loud and clear. "I mean, you think they fight like cubs do? Where as they wrestle for play?" Iruka pondered this. "Perhaps." He and Itachi were friends. Iruka was friends with all the other senseis. Naruto and Sasuke did eat lunch with each other sometimes. They did more frequently now that they were in school with each other.

Naruto's class was full of people: Kiba, Ino, Sakura, Rock Lee, Hinata, Neji, and a few other people. The cafeteria was bursting with little kids. Laughter filled the cafeteria.

Naruto was sitting side by side with Sasuke, as well Ino and Sakura. Naruto drank up his ramen. Sasuke just kinda played with the noodles. Sakura talked with Ino, and barely ate.

Naruto smiled as he finished his ramen. "Sasuke, aren't you gonna eat?" "Nah, not hungry." "空腹ではないか。"(1) Naruto and Sasuke looked confused. Sakura noticed her mistake. "Oh, sorry, I'm from out of the country. I mean, you're not hungry?" "N-nah.." Naruto smiled brightly and looked over at Sasuke's noodles. "If you won't eat it, I'll eat it for you! I love ramen.."

Sasuke stopped playing with his noodles, and turned his attention to Naruto. "Okay, here." he said, boredly, handing the bowl of ramen over to blonde-headed boy. "Yes!! Thank you, Sasuke!" Naruto kissed Sasuke's cheek as his delighted reply. Sasuke's eyes went wide. "Ewwwww!! You sick perv!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

The whole cafeteria went silent. They eyed Sasuke and Naruto just in time to see Naruto's lips on the Uchiha's cheek, before extracting them, of course. Even the teachers, who had their own table in the middle of the cafeteria, stared at them. Sasuke wiped his cheek with his hand, his shoulders stiff, a somewhat adorable scowl plastered on his baby face.

Naruto smiled, and ate away happily at Sasuke's offered ramen. Sasuke was staring at anyone but Naruto.

Okay, I wanna stop the story here. Just cause I feel like it. This is the prequel to this: /s/4557718/1/Secrets So, yeah, it obviously becomes a SasuNaru story. Read that first, before reading on to Chapter 2. I'm gonna try to make this a really longly chaptered story. Are those even real words? Lol, anyway…

'Tis cute, right?

1. Sakura's from Japan n stuff. I used an online translator. I translated it back, she actually says, "It's not hungry?" lmao!
