Hi, guys! Yup, I'm finally getting on the ball with all these stories! Yay! I have about 20 to work on, so you'll have a lot to look forward to:grins:

Ummm, this one's based on the movie Suicide Circle (Or Suicide Club, if you prefer that name), and Tri-Rivers is actually a career center that my brother and I attend. I just made it into an all-boys' academy, that's all!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Sasuke and Kishimoto do.

Now, on to the story! Whooo

The sound of slamming lockers and shouting students filled the pristine corridors of the Tri-Rivers Career Academy for Boys, echoing from the perfect white walls and spotless windows. There was a certain snobbish air to the place, but few of the academy's student body shared its holier-than-thou attitude, a surprising fact considering the sheer number of students in attendance….And the students who really were assholes were quite thoroughly afraid of the others.

Uzumaki Naruto was one of those 'others' that the prissy rich boys feared. A senior at the academy, he was disorganized, loud, and oftentimes quite rude, but his playful smile and stunning cerulean eyes had gained him quite a fan-base. His blonde hair stuck up in all directions and hung down past his ears, a violation of the school's strict dress code.

Boys attending Tri-Rivers were required to wear white Oxford button-down shirts and dark blue trousers, and Naruto was no exception, but he had a special knack for…spicing things up. Accessories such as impossibly loud orange nail polish and studded belts showed the side of him that only his outside friends were permitted to see.

Take Uchiha Sasuke, for example. The two boys had been best friends and extremely competitive rivals all throughout grade school, tossing playful banters and not-so-playful punches as they fought for a one-up on the other. Many nights were spent on the phone; Naruto joking about his buddy's duck-butt-esque hair, Sasuke retorting with a snort and some comment about the blonde's loud and annoying laugh.

Over their long friendship, their emotions had somehow grown from casual friendliness to burning love. Sasuke was the first to speak up about his feelings, his dark eyes serious as he searched the handsome blonde's face for any reaction. He was worried about changing their relationship for the worst, but to his relief, everything had worked out.

…And it didn't take long for Naruto to fall head-over-heels for the stunning raven, either. He was the reason he reached for his phone as soon as he woke up, the reason for every smile, every breath…Sasuke was everything to him, and presently, said blonde was searching through the thick crowd for his beloved.

"Teme!" He called out when he spotted the feminine raven saunter through the main doors of the academy, "Teme, over here!"

Sasuke smiled and weaved his way through the crowd, his slender body moving as gracefully as ever, his smooth, rich voice a welcome sound to the fox-boy's ears, "Sorry I'm late, Aniki locked himself in the bathroom again and I had to wait."

Uchihas has an insane habit of never going anywhere without looking perfectly drop-dead gorgeous, and the brothers rarely went a day without fighting over the all-important mirror.

Naruto, of course, thought it was insanely hilarious. But, hell, he wouldn't complain. Sasuke looked fucking hot no matter what he did, but the fact that he put so much extra effort into his appearance just made him all the better in the blonde's eyes.

He snickered a bit and kissed his boyfriend's cheek, a sudden shit-eating grin plastered on his face. "I forgive you."

"I wasn't worried that you wouldn't, dobe."

The young blonde pouted cutely and sniffled. "Maaaa, doesn't Sasuke-kun wuv meh anymore?"

Sasuke twitched, finding the look extremely adorable but even more annoying. "I never said that, now did I?" He rolled his eyes and slipped an arm around his lover's thin but muscular shoulders, pulling him against his chest, "Besides, you already know the answer."

"Do I?" Naruto wiggled his brows suggestively.

Heaving a sigh, the taller male flicked the tip of his boyfriend's nose, "Shush, dobe."

"Hey, don't go shushing me, teme!" The shorter student whined, but any further words were cut off as another male came walking up to them, his dark eyes and pale features so much like Sasuke's. Itachi had taken on a job as an English teacher at Tri-Rivers at the beginning of the school year.

….Of course, he was the strictest (but smartest) teacher employed there.

"Aniki?" Sasuke looked up at his brother, noticing immediately the stressed expression on the weasel's young face, "Is something wrong?"

The teacher sighed and pretended to inspect the flawless polish on his nails. He wasn't bothered by much, and even then it was almost impossible to tell, but his face was paler than usual, the bags under his eyes more prominent and dark.

All these signs told the younger Uchiha that his brother was upset over something, even before Itachi opened his mouth to speak.

"Six more."

While Sasuke looked surprised, Naruto stood confused.

"…Teme, what's he talking about?" Am I missing something here?

Itachi looked over at the blonde, brows furrowed, "You haven't heard of the suicides recently? Seventeen kids so far have died, just in this school alone." The usual mocking tone in the elder Uchiha's voice wasn't present, something that quite disturbed the other two males, "And this morning six students unhooked their seatbelts on a rollercoaster and killed themselves."

Sasuke almost shivered at the image playing in his mind; an image of blood, people screaming, the coaster unable to stop as the ones who hadn't reached the ground from the fall were run over.. He reached for his lover's hand and squeezed, his pale lips in a tight line. So far no one he'd known had died, but….

What if Naruto….He didn't let himself finish the thought, instead choosing to place his free hand on his Aniki's shoulder as a sort of comforting gesture, "Isn't anybody doing anything about it?"

The long-haired Uchiha shook his head slowly, eyes barely hinting his frustration and worry, "What can we do? The police are investigating; Mom and Dad were assigned to work the case, but it's hard to look after hundreds of students at once." Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha both worked side-by-side as detectives in the city, and Sasuke had plans to follow their footsteps, but he constantly had to stop and ask himself what he'd do if he was on a case like that….

I couldn't do it…..

Naruto looked over at his teme, noticing how the teen trained his eyes on the floor and gnawed at his lower lip, a gesture that usually meant he was either deep in thought or concerned, "when did you hear about this, Itachi?"

"Just this morning, when I arrived," The taller male said, then added, "but no one else is to know. People obviously are aware of the deaths by now, but if you fill them in on everything that's happened, we'll have a cult on our hands."

"Isn't that what this is now?" Sasuke asked, looking up.

"Too early to say for sure," came the simple reply. Itachi sighed and looked over his shoulder to see another of the teachers, a woman with blonde hair, beckoning to him. "Excuse me."

Naruto watched him walk off, then turned his attention to his boyfriend, "Oi, Teme?"

"Hmmm, what is it?"

The blonde began busily fiddling with one of the bracelets on his wrist, his clear eyes showing worry and confusion, "I…I just don't understand why someone would want to do that….Take their lives, I mean. It's so….I mean, what if…"

He wasn't allowed to finish, because a certain raven swooped in and kissed him softly. Naruto was usually a very strong person, but when he was worried or scared, it was the raven's job to protect and soothe him.

"Just don't think about it," said Uchiha told him, "I'm sure they'll get everything worked out."

"Yeah, but--"

Sasuke pouted childishly and flicked him on the nose for the second time that day, "No buts. Just focus on your school work, and I'll take you out somewhere special tonight, okay?"

"Sasuke--" It's you I'm worried about…..

"Hush, moron. I'll write you in English."

The first bell shattered any attempt at a reply, and Sasuke gave him a quick peck on the lips, "Gotta go, love you." He turned and jogged away, leaving a blinking Naruto standing there.

Teme…I'm afraid you'll be next…..
