The life of a ´superhero´

Being a superhero doesn't always mean you have big powers. You can also be a superhero when you help the people close to you. This is what Uchiha Sasuke found out. But was he on time? SasuNeji HiaNeji Based on Sky High

A/N: Hey guys! This story is based on the movie 'Sky High' we saw together. The story is a little harsh, with lots of violence and some abuse, within Neji's family this time. The rest you have to find out yourselves!

Chapter 1

Uchiha Sasuke, a young boy, stepped out of the bus that had just brought him to his new school. But it wasn't just any school. It was a superhero school. In his world, superhero's and villains were an every day thing. His parents both were superhero's and he was supposed to become one as well. His new school, Konoha High, would make him one. Or a sidekick. It all depended on his power. And that was what made Uchiha Sasuke nervous. His power was not as well developed as he had hoped. He now walked with the rest of the freshman to the school. All kind of hero's walked there. People who were really strong, fast and many more powers. They were led into the school now and Sasuke wondered what was gonna happen.
"Nervous?" A brown haired boy with spikes and red tattoos on his cheeks said to Sasuke, grinning a little.

Sasuke turned to the guy.

"No." He lied. "How about you?" This guy didn't look very strong at all.

"Not really, I don't care where they place me." The boy said, smirking a little. He then held out his hand, as they were instructed to wait for one of the teachers. "I'm Kiba."

Sasuke shook the guy's hand.

"Sasuke. So what 'is' your power then?" He asked the guy, called Kiba.

"Shape-shifting." Kiba said, as he shook Sasuke's hand as well and then pulled his hand back. "What about you?"

"Err.. Fire." Sasuke said. "So shape-shifting huh. Into what?" He quickly asked.

"Fire?" Kiba asked, frowning. "That's amazing. Wait, are you a member of the Uchiha family? I heard they are great fire users. And I can shape myself into everything I want."

"Well that's good. And yes I am." Sasuke said uncomfortable. His family was well known throughout... everywhere. Too bad he was a little less then they were.

"So you can let fire balls fly around the place right?" Kiba asked, as they walked into a big room now. "I wish I had a power like that. It must be really cool."

"..Yeah really cool." 'If I could do that' Sasuke thought to himself. "Are we supposed to wait here?" He asked.

"I guess so." Kiba said, nodding. At that moment, a big muscular man, who had scars all over his head, walked onto the stage that was at the end of the room.

"Attention kids!" He yelled. "We're going to put you into sections now! The sections heroes and side-kicks that is! So make a line!"

Sasuke sighed as he got in line, right behind Kiba. Luckily there were somewhere at the end. He wondered if they had to do this in front of everyone else. That would be the worst.

"Good, you, in the front, get up here!" The man said. "I'm coach Ibiki, and I will decide which section you get in after you showed your powers. If you even have one. No discussion is possible, so don't you even dare to complain about my choice!"

Sasuke saw a young black haired boy get up the stage. He didn't look all to promising in Sasuke's eyes. The boy waited, saying nothing.

"What's your name boy?" Ibiki asked, looking at the boy.

"It's Sai." The boy said, and Ibiki nodded.

"Well, show me your power." He said.

Sai now shrugged and suddenly, he was gone. He then appeared again and Ibiki put up his thumb.

"Hero!" He said, and Sai nodded, leaving the stage. "Next!" Ibiki yelled.

A girl with pink hair now walked up the stage, looking very comfortable.

"Haruno Sakura sir." She said.

"Good, good." Ibiki said, nodding. "So, show me your power."

Sakura looked around and she spotted a huge block. She made her hand into a fist and hit it, making the pieces go all over the place. A few people in front of the stage had to cover their heads so they wouldn't get hit.

Kiba's mouth fell open.

"Whoa." He said, amazed, while Ibiki yelled 'hero!'. Ibiki now mentioned another boy to come forward, with some spiky hair, which looked like a pineapple. He looked quite bored. Kiba stared at the boy. That was like.. exactly his type.

"What are you staring at?" Sasuke asked Kiba, frowning. He then looked at the boy on stage, who kept quiet and rolled his eyes.

"This is such a drag." He muttered.

"Just show your power, lazy ass." Ibiki said, as he pulled up his eyebrows.

"I don't think this is necessary." The guy said. "You're only embarrassing the people who become sidekicks."

"They need to be put in the rightful place, SIDEKICK!" Ibiki roared, and a wave of wind flew through the room.

Shikamaru stared at Ibiki and then rolled his eyes.

"How troublesome." He muttered, not bothered at all as he left the stage. Another person was called and this time, it was another girl, with black hair. She looked quite shy.

"Well, show it girl." Ibiki said, and the girl nodded. She then turned around and made some dancing moves, and after some time some glitters and waves of water swirled around her.

"...SIDEKICK!" Ibiki yelled, which lead the girl to jump a little.

"H-hai sir!" She said and quickly left the stage. Another boy now entered the stage, a fierce looking redhead.

"Sabaku no Gaara." The boy said, and just stared at Ibiki.

"Well, show your power, redhead." Ibiki said, as he wrote down Gaara's name.

"I can move blood freely in someone's body." Gaara said. "Want me to show it?"

"..Eh.. hero!" Ibiki said, and Gaara left the stage.

"We'll continue in an hour, you can have your lunch now!" Ibiki said, after some more boys and girls had shown their powers.

Sasuke let out a relieved sigh as the crowd started to leave now. But now he had to be nervous for even longer. This sucked.

"You wanna grab some lunch together?" Sasuke asked Kiba.

"Sure." Kiba said, as he walked out of the room, and Sasuke followed him. They entered the canteen now, where a lot of people were standing in line to get something to eat.

Sasuke and Kiba got in line and Sasuke immediately looked at the guy in front of him. He had long, brown hair and a nice body. And a nice ass as well. He didn't look like a hero at all, so Sasuke figured he could just do whatever he wanted with this guy. So he just slapped the guy on the ass, like he was used to do with guys he found attractive.

Kiba put up an eyebrow and looked at Sasuke amused, as the guy turned around now with narrowed eyes.

"What do you think you're doing, prick?" The boy snapped, glaring at Sasuke.

Sasuke shrugged.

"Showing you that you're attractive. Why, did I offend you?" Sasuke asked, putting up a fake pout.

"No, but you can't just touch me like that, being a freshman." The longhaired boy snapped, his white eyes still narrowed. "Where did you get that guts anyway? Been placed in the hero section or something?"

Sasuke looked at the guy.

"Well no." Sasuke said frowning. What was this guy's problem? Another guy now turned around, having bowl cut hair and big round eyes. He looked at Sasuke and then turned to the other guy.

"I think he's the Uchiha, Neji." He said.

The long haired guy, Neji, frowned, looking at his friend and then at Sasuke.

"You are?" He asked.

"I am. Does that matter?" Sasuke asked, rolling his eyes. Jeez, this again?

"A little perhaps." Neji said, frowning. "Sorry for the snapping." He said and then turned around again, obviously pissed off.

Kiba brought up an eyebrow and then smirked.

"Well that's lucky, he's a bit scared of you." He whispered to Sasuke.

"He shouldn't be." Sasuke muttered. That guy would probably come back to snap at him if Sasuke would be called a sidekick.

"Perhaps." Kiba said, shrugging, as he grabbed a pudding and some sandwiches. "But you could make your move now."

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked frowning as he grabbed some food as well.

"Well, he won't snap at you and he'll show respect." Kiba said, snorting. "Doh. Or don't you want to flirt with him?"

"I do, I do. You're right." Sasuke said and smirked. Maybe this whole Uchiha thing would come in handy. Sasuke stood next to the guy, Neji, again. "So how did you get such a nice ass anyway?" He asked smirking.

Neji glared at Sasuke now.

"If you're trying to compliment me you shouldn't do it like this." He said. "You might be an Uchiha, but that doesn't mean you can just say what you want."

"Doesn't it? I'm just telling you you have a nice ass. I'm sure you worked it lots of time to your advantage, so I can say it's a nice ass." Sasuke said smirking.

"Leave him alone." A girl with two buns in her brown hair snapped, not amused that Sasuke was bothering her friend.

"Tenten, I can save myself." Neji calmly said, looking at the girl called Tenten, and then glared at Sasuke again. "Thanks for the 'compliment', but I warn you, next time you touch it you can expect a hit in your face."

"Oh I'm so scared." Sasuke said, making his voice sound higher. "We'll just see about that." He said and smirked at Neji.

Neji narrowed his eyes at Sasuke and then walked out of the line, when he had paid for his lunch.

Kiba snorted.

"You're 'so' good at flirting." He said, obviously being sarcastic.

"Oh shut up." Sasuke said and grinned at Kiba while he paid for his food as well. "Why don't you show me how it's done huh."

"How what's done?" Kiba asked, paying for his lunch as well. "Flirting?"

"Yes. I take it you were being sarcastic when you said I was good at flirting. How about you flirt with that guy you were eyeing?" Sasuke said as he walked to a table.

"Ah, he doesn't look like he's interested you know." Kiba said. "Perhaps I'll get to know him first. But he's damn hot."

"He is not. You're weird. He looks like a lazy pineapple." Sasuke said and laughed a little as he sat down.

"Oh shut up, yours looks like a girl." Kiba said, grinning, as he put his lunch on the table and sat down too, leaning back.

"He does not." Sasuke said grinning as well. "And besides, I'd rather do a girl then a pineapple."

Kiba snorted.

"I wouldn't." He said. "Are you bi?"

"Yes, but even if I wasn't, I'd still rather do a girl then a pineapple." Sasuke said laughing.

"I'd rather do a hot boy with a pineapple haircut then a girlie looking boy with freaky white eyes." Kiba said. "Hell, he even had pink lips." At that moment, the pink haired girl came walking up to Sasuke, and sat down next to him.

"Hey there cutie." She said, smiling sweetly at him. "What's your name?"

"I'm not interested." Sasuke immediately said. He might be bi, but he mostly hated girls. "And mister pineapple is not hot."

The girl, Sakura, frowned.

"What are you saying?" She asked, offended.

"He is." Kiba said, ignoring the girl.

"Whatever. And I said I'm not interested. You can sit here, I'm just telling you forehand what I think." Sasuke told the girl.

"Jeez, you're an ass." Sakura snapped and then walked away again. Kiba snorted, as soon as she was gone.

"My, you just told me you were bi." Kiba said.

"I know, maybe I was a little harsh." Sasuke said and shrugged. "I'm just not interested in her."

"You're interested in mister girlie?" Kiba asked, smirking.

Sasuke laughed.

"I think we'll get along Kiba. And I at least think mister 'girlie' is hot." He said.

"I think mister pineapple is hot, and mister girlie isn't." Kiba said, laughing as well. "And I don't think we'll get along, I know we will."

"Well good, we won't fight over guys then." Sasuke said and grinned at Kiba. At least he had made a friend on his first day.

"Good." Kiba said and started eating. "So.. did you ever got a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"I once had a girlfriend and I once had a boyfriend." Sasuke said. "But just one of each, I'm pretty picky. How about you?"

"I never had one, but more then enough one night stands." Kiba said, shrugging. "I don't like relationships."

"Because? You're a sex addict or something?" Sasuke asked grinning.

"Kinda." Kiba said, smirking, as he ate some more of his lunch. "No not kind of, I am. Got plenty of porn at home for if I can't get any in the evening." He laughed now.

"Nice life. I hope for you mister pineapple likes a good fuck." Sasuke said grinning. "Maybe you should try a relationship, it's nice."

"I'm sure mister pine apple likes a good fuck, which I am." Kiba said. "And nah, I like variation."

"Still, you should try it." Sasuke said.

At that moment, the bell rang, and everyone got up, to their classes.

"Well, I fear that we have to go back." Kiba said, stretching. "Time to show your awesome fire powers."

"Yeah.." Sasuke said and got up as well. Oh crap. Now he had to humiliate himself in front of the entire freshman year.

Kiba got up too and put his hands into his pockets, walking back to the room with the stage. He seemed to not be scared at all.

Sasuke looked at Kiba and sighed. If only he had something to be that confident about. As they reached the hall again, all new students made a line once again and Ibiki got on the stage. Sasuke swallowed. They were a whole lot more to the front now.

"Welcome back again, we'll continue with what we were doing before now!" Ibiki yelled. "You there, boy with the tattoos, you start!" Kiba nodded now, as he walked up the stage.

"What's your name?" Ibiki asked.

"Inuzuki Kiba." Kiba said, and Ibiki wrote down the name.

"Good. Show me your power." Kiba nodded and then suddenly his limbs and arms started changing, the rest of his body followed and then his head did as well. After a few seconds, he had changed into a tiger and growled to the crowd.

"..Hero!" Ibiki said and Kiba then changed back into himself, smirking.

"Thank you." He said as he went off the stage.

Sasuke looked at Kiba amazed but then groaned. Great, even Kiba had a nice power. If only he had stayed home.

A few other kids had to show their powers, and then it was Sasuke's turn.

"You, black haired guy, come up!" Ibiki then snapped at him.

Sasuke groaned once again and then got on the stage.

"Can you just put me in the sidekick class?" He asked. He was so not gonna embarrass himself in front of.. everybody.

"What was your name again kid?" Ibiki said, as he grabbed his notebook. Kiba meanwhile frowned. What was up?

"Sasuke." Sasuke said, trying to avoid his last name. Once they heard that, he was sure it was over.

"Last name?" Ibiki asked as he wrote Sasuke's name down.

"..Well.." Sasuke said and then whispered his last name into Ibiki's ear. He prayed to God he was gonna be spared the humiliation.

"And you can't say you're an Uchiha because?" Ibiki said, pulling up an eyebrow, while shocked gasps were being heard.

"Because.. I'm not exactly what you 'expect' of an Uchiha.." Sasuke said, glaring at the crowd.

"Show your powers, now." Ibiki snapped. "Quit it with the nagging."

Sasuke sighed and then formed a small flame on the top of his finger. It faded after around ten seconds.

"..That was your power?" Ibiki asked, putting up one eyebrow. "That's the fire of your family?"

"That's more like the power of.. me.." Sasuke said, embarrassed to no end. Dammit.

"ITACHI!" Ibiki now yelled, and everyone looked at the coach startled. It didn't take long, before the door of the room opened and an older looking version of Sasuke walked in, with long black hair in a ponytail, dressed in a suit and he had a loose tie around his neck.

"What is it sir?" He asked, and then frowned as he saw Sasuke standing there.

Sasuke put his head in one of his hands. Oh great. Even more humiliation. Now his older brother had to see how bad he was at this. Nice. Really nice.

"Itachi." Ibiki said. "You once told me how proud you were to have this guy as your brother. But he can barely lit a candle with this fire of him. I want you to train your brother, so he can live up his family name like he should. Because the fire he makes now, is nothing. Show him your powers Itachi!"

"Sir, I don't really think that is-" Itachi started, but got interrupted by Ibiki.

"SHOW YOUR POWERS!"

Itachi looked at Ibiki and then sighed, mouthing an 'I'm sorry' to Sasuke, and then suddenly, a huge fireball appeared into his hand.

"See, that's what you have to learn, Uchiha Sasuke!" Ibiki yelled. "As for now.. SIDEKICK!"

Itachi put away the fireball again and looked at Sasuke, silently. It was obvious that he didn't knew this about Sasuke's powers either.

Sasuke looked to the floor and then frowned and got off the stage. He walked past Kiba and past Itachi, out of the room. Great, the start of his first year was horrible. He might as well quit now.

That evening, Sasuke was sitting in his room. His mother had called for dinner just a few seconds ago and Sasuke got up from his bed. He wasn't all too happy about facing his parents. They hadn't heard the news yet and since he hadn't been allowed to use his powers, no one knew he barely had any. He now walked downstairs and sat down at the dinner table.

His father, Uchiha Fugaku, was already sitting at the table and now his brother came walking in, sitting down as well.

"Sorry I'm late." He said.

Mikoto, Sasuke and Itachi's mother, now put the stew on the table.

"That's OK dear. You're on time for dinner." She said and smiled at Itachi.

"So Sasuke, how was your day at school?" Fugaku asked, as Mikoto gave them all some food on their plates.

"Err.. OK.." Sasuke said as he looked at his plate. He really did not want to discuss things now.

"Do you have nice classmates in the hero class?" Fugaku asked, which lead Itachi to look at Sasuke.

"...I wouldn't know." Sasuke softly said. Mikoto looked at Sasuke as she sat down.

"Didn't you pay attention?" Fugaku asked as he started eating.

"..I paid attention.. Just.. not to the hero's.." Sasuke said.

"So you paid attention to the teachers?" Fugaku asked. "That's good, I'm proud of you."

Itachi continued eating but looked at Sasuke once in a while. What was Sasuke doing?

Sasuke kept silent now as he poked his food. Should he tell his parents he was in sidekick class? His father would get angry for sure. Sasuke bit his lip.

"Is something wrong honey?" Mikoto asked and Sasuke shook his head. Mikoto looked at her husband worried.

"Sasuke, you're not keeping something a secret, are you?" Fugaku asked.

"..How bad would it be if I was in sidekick class?" Sasuke asked softly as he pushed his plate away. He couldn't eat anymore, he was too nervous.

Fugaku now stopped eating as he looked at Sasuke. It fell deadly silent at the table now.

Sasuke looked at the table now and then sighed.

"..I'm sorry." He softly said. He knew his parents understood that he was in sidekick class.

"That man is sick." Fugaku then spat as he stood and almost pushed over the table, but Itachi quickly grabbed it and stopped it from falling down, while his father stormed towards the phone, to call school.

Sasuke quickly got up and followed his father.

"Don't call the school." He said desperate. If his father heard about his lousy powers, then he was screwed.

"How dare he put you in the side-kick class, you're an Uchiha!" Fugaku snapped.

"He had a reason." Sasuke said and swallowed. Maybe he shouldn't have said that.

"Him being a jerk?" Fugaku snapped, as he started putting the number into the phone.

"No, me not being able to do more then a lousy flame I can barely lid a candle with." Sasuke now snapped as he broke the connection from the phone.

"WHAT?!" Fugaku roared now.

Sasuke looked at his father startled and quickly walked back to the diningroom, sitting down. He was sure his father would start yelling at him now.

"Calm down Fugaku." Mikoto said.

"How can I calm down if our son just lies to us like that?!" Fugaku roared.

"I didn't lie.." Sasuke said, annoyed his father was so angry.

"You lied about yourself being in the hero's class." Fugaku snapped. "That's a week house arrest for you, you insolent child. And no food tonight. To your room!"

"But I never said I was in the hero's class!" Sasuke said offended.

"Fugaku." Mikoto said stern.

"Shut up Mikoto!" Fugaku roared. He then looked at Sasuke, furious. "Go to your room! You tried to not let me know that you're in the side kick class!"

"This was exactly why I didn't want you to know!" Sasuke yelled and then got up and stormed to his room. Screw this, he would not go back to school ever again. He was an outcast of his family anyway.

Mikoto glared at her husband and then ran upstairs, after Sasuke. When she got to his room, she knocked.

"Go away." Sasuke's voice came. He was laying on his bed, his face buried in his pillow. This was so stupid.

"It's me dear." Mikoto said from the other side of the door. "Are you sure I can't come in?"

"...Fine." Sasuke said. His mother at least would be nice to him now.

Mikoto now entered the room and walked to Sasuke, smiling.

"Sweetie, you shouldn't listen too much to your father." She said.

"That's easy for you to say." Sasuke said, burying his head into the pillow even more.

"I'm married to him." Mikoto said, as she stroke through Sasuke's hair.

"And you have powers." Sasuke said. "..I suck."

"Sasuke.. it's really not about your powers." Mikoto said. "It's about who you are. You're a great person, the powers aren't important. For your father perhaps, but for most people, it's not. The people who think it does, are just.. mean. You shouldn't be nice to them. With your father it's different of course, because he's your father.. he lives up to his family name a lot. But I don't."

"..I'm supposed to be good at this.. I was completely humiliated mom.." Sasuke mumbled.

"I know, Ibiki is a jerk." Mikoto said. "He was already teaching there when I went to college. So he's all old fashioned, lives up to family names, that kind of stuff. While being a side-kick is an honour as well. Without side-kicks, the heroes wouldn't be anywhere."

"..I'd rather be a hero." Sasuke said and sat up now, looking at his mother. "Why don't you like Ibiki?" He asked.

"He always flirted with me and tried to look under my skirt." Mikoto said, laughing a little. "Yeah, he was a dirty man. But he did so with the other girls. I refused to go out with him some day. And you look a lot like me, perhaps that's why he embarrassed you like that."

"..Maybe. I don't know. I really do suck at this." Sasuke said but smiled a little. "I think dad's better then Ibiki."

"I think so too." Mikoto said, smiling back, and then ruffled Sasuke's hair a little. "And I don't think you suck. I love you, and I haven't even seen your powers."

"They're like a match." Sasuke said but smiled anyway. "Thanks mom."

"You're welcome honey." Mikoto said, smiling as she removed her hand out of Sasuke's hair and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "There. Now cheer up OK?"

"I will mom." Sasuke said and gave his mother a hug. He was glad at least his mother was there to stand by him.

Mikoto hugged back, smiling at her son.

"I love you dear." She said. "Now don't be so insecure alright? You shouldn't be wanting to be so hot tempered like your father and brother. With some luck you even get my power, being extremely friendly." She laughed a little. "Just kidding."

Sasuke laughed a little as well.

"Itachi is friendly. Just a little hot tempered." Sasuke said. "I have two examples though of what I don't wanna be. I just want the same kind of power."

"I understand." Mikoto said. "But you know, you're still so young. With most people, powers come up around the age of Itachi. Perhaps if you wait, your powers will come in some years. You never know."

"I know. But so many already have them now." Sasuke said shrugging. "And dad and Itachi had them when they were twelve or something."

"Yeah but like I said, dad and Itachi are hot tempered." Mikoto said. "You're right about Itachi being sweet, but he can explode once he's angry. You can be angry and hot tempered too, but not like them. You don't explode. You're more like me. It doesn't come all of a sudden, you slowly become angry. That's probably why you can't call up so much fire. I think that may you try to hold it a little longer, like you're building up your anger, you can actually make it bigger. You can try it."

Sasuke smiled at his mother. At least it made sense.

"Maybe. That would be nice. Now stop cheering me up and go downstairs. You weren't finished with your dinner." Sasuke said.

"Alright dear." Mikoto said, as she gave Sasuke another kiss on the head. "I'll talk to your father." She then stood.

"Thanks." Sasuke said and smiled at his mother. Once she was gone he laid down on his bed again. He shouldn't stress so much about his powers. Sidekick was good enough.
