Chapter 1

Naruto sat listening to his old teacher. This was very nostalgic, sitting in the old and very uncomfortable wooden desks; all he was missing was Sasuke and Sakura and things would be just like the old days.

"Naruto! I asked you to come and show the kids a summoning jujitsu, no how to ignore my teaching." Iruka yelled pulling the blond out of his memories.

"Huh? Oh sorry Iruka sensei." Naruto grinned as he led the class outside. The air was warm and the kids stretched and laughed happy to be out of the room and out in the sun.

"Hey, Naruto why are we outside?" one of the kids asked. Naruto smirked.

"This is why." He stated as he preformed the seals and then attempted the summoning. Please work. Please work. He begged silently. The puff of smoke cleared and everyone looked around there eyes on the floor, nothing. Naruto felt his heart sink and embarrassment rise.

"Hey Naruto, why did you summon me?" a voice bellowed from behind. Naruto turned to see Gamabunta standing a few houses behind.

"Frog boss!" Naruto called joyfully. The kids gawked in wonder and excitement. Naruto smiled but then felt a chill down his spine. He turned to see a shadow in the trees move. He didn't want to alarm the children so she casually excused himself to the bathroom as the children began to climb on Gamabunta.

Naruto ran around to the side of the school and then made his way silently to the tree where he had seen something. He was right, there was a person in the tree, he couldn't tell who but he had a Kunai drawn. Naruto panicked and drew his own weapon then leapt forwards knocking the other man to the ground. A clash of blades was heard as his Kunai was caught on the other man's. The blond looked into the face of the man.

"Sasuke?"

"Get off me dobe." He grunted as he pushed the teenager off him.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he sat back on his heels.

"What do you think?" Sasuke snapped.

"Hiding from Sakura and Ino?" Naruto smirked as Sasuke sighed and flopped back onto the ground. Naruto looked at him then at the frog beside him. "Why would you hide at the school?"

"Because Naruto, they think I'm too 'cool' to be nostalgic."

"You are though." Naruto smirked.

"Just shut up and get me away from them." Sasuke snapped as he pulled himself up. Naruto nodded and waved goodbye to the school and Iruka. Gamabunta disappeared and the two boys strolled down the street.

"Where do you want to go then?" Naruto asked.

"Somewhere they would never think of looking for me." Sasuke replied.

"My house it is then." Naruto laughed as he dragged Sasuke to the run down part of town. The streets were unkempt and litter danced in the wind. Sasuke looked up at Naruto like he was expecting him to say he was joking, but he knew that the blond wasn't.

The house was small and looked almost uninhabitable. Naruto strolled in casually and told Sasuke to sit down. Once the raven was sitting the other went to fetch some drinks.

"Sasuke, why don't you just go out with one of them? There both attractive." Sasuke choked on his drink. He didn't want to tell Naruto that he was gay. He didn't want anyone to know. He attempted to pretend he hadn't heard the blond and looked around the room. Naruto repeated the question making sure Sasuke heard it.

"I don't know, i need someone who would challenge me. You know?" Sasuke lied through his teeth.

"Sasuke you have to give people a chance." Naruto scolded.

"But there both so frumpy!" Sasuke cried as he leant back onto the couch. Naruto began to laugh. A squeaking sound from the door told them that Naruto's mail had arrived. Naruto stood and got the mail.

"You don't mind if I open these do you?" he asked. Sasuke shrugged and continued to drink his water. Naruto opened the letters; all of it was junk mail. Sasuke watched him open and read each one with great interest.

"Naruto, why do you read the junk mail you dobe?" he asked. Naruto looked up suddenly sad.

"It's the only mail I get." Naruto looked down and then smiled and looked up again. This smile was different, it was empty. Sasuke had seen that smile a lot in his life.

"Naruto, we need to go out and drink." The raven proclaimed.

"We're seventeen." Naruto pointed out. Sasuke sighed and sat back down, that was the last time he was ever doing something out of character again. He didn't know why he even bothered. It only ended up with him looking like a fool.

"Hey Naruto, why don't we watch a movie or something I'm dying of boredom here." Sasuke asked as he looked at the roof with indifference. Naruto looked at the ninja. He thought for a moment.

"I have a better idea." He announced.

"Yea?"

"What did you learn from Orochimaru?" Naruto asked. Sasuke glared at him.

"Nothing."

"You had to learn something you were with him for years." Naruto protested.

"And I came back didn't I?" Sasuke snapped. It was silent.

"Why?"

"Why what?" Sasuke barked.

"Why did you come back?" Naruto yelled at him.

Sasuke glared at him and rose, Naruto did the same. They stood their looking at each other, tension was in every inch of the room and it was coming from a blond and a raven hair boy.

"I came back Naruto, because I saw my error." Sasuke told him through clenched teeth. Naruto looked at him.

"I think you couldn't handle it." He had let his temper get the better of him and so did Sasuke as he lurched forwards and knocked Naruto off his feet.
