Chapter One: Auditions
xXxXxXx
Two households alike in dignity,
In fair Konoha, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean,
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows,
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, out toil shall strive to mend.
xXxXxXx
The teen walked slowly down the halls, onyx eyes set on his destination. Beautiful obsidian hair fell evenly around his face, contrasting with his pale complexion. He stopped, looking warily at the door in front of him. Taped onto the door was a sheet of paper with the word ' Auditions' written on it. He sighed quietly, Should I really uphold the family name…? He thought to himself. Reaching out a pale hand, the young Uchiha boy opened the door, all going silent as he entered.
"Uchiha Sasuke, So nice of you to join us…" A soft male voice spoke, Gentle eyes looking to his former student. Sasuke walked to a secluded area of the theater room, sitting silently and looking to the chocolate haired Chunin.
"Well, now that everyone's here, lets start the auditions!" Iruka spoke. Several people went up as their names were called, the Uchiha not being one of them, each one didn't even fit the part they wanted. One male was auditioning for Romeo. He couldn't even remember his lines, and also he seemed to have a weight problem. Sasuke sighed softly, this is pitiful… He thought.
" Naruto!" Iruka called out. The Uchiha blinked and looked to the small stage curiously. The object he saw walking up there was captivating. Lustrous sapphire eyes, looked as if the gems were pulled from the heavens and places there, perfectly tanned skin just flowing with a gods radiance, beautiful golden locks spikes and beautifully messy.
"What part are you auditioning for?" The Chunin asked the blond teen. Sasuke subconsciously moved closer to the stage, eyes deadest on the angel up there.
" Uhm…well, I'm going to audition for the role of Juliet." He spoke, his whiskered cheeks flushing a soft pink. Everyone went silent.
"Alright, begin when you're ready." Iruka spoke softly. The boy nodded and scanned across everyone before finally meeting the captivated onyx eyes. He's…Beautiful…He thought. Sasuke stay silent and just observed the handsome blond angel on the stage, waiting for him to begin.
Naruto took a shaky breath before speaking, his tone soft and filled with emotion.
"Ay, me! Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny they father, and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." He continued to speak his lines, his voice quavering slightly, but he never stopped staring at the masterpiece that was the Uchiha.
Shall I hear more? Or shall I speak at this? The Uchiha thought to himself at hearing the other's lines, it was as if by magic as he stood and walked closer to the stage.
" 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy, Thou art thyself, thou not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, not foot, not arm, nor any other part belonging to a man. Oh, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet? So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, retain that dear perfection that he owes without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, and for that name, which is no part of thee take all myself." Almost as soon as those last words were spoken, the Uchiha spoke up loud and clear, his voice taking on a curious and love struck tone.
"I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; henceforth I never will be Romeo." Everyone went silent and they just stared at the pair onstage. Iruka smiled softly.
"Alright, Naruto, Sasuke. Enough you may take your seats." He stated softly. The boys looked over at him, the blond teen had a dark blush across his cheeks, while the other one just looked irritated. Sasuke sighed taking the other's hand and leading him back to where he had been sitting.
" …That was wonderful! You really know how to act!" Naruto spoke happily, his blush still apparent on his whiskered cheeks.
"Not really, it runs in the family…." He spoke softly, his eyes trailing to the other's lips, how soft and moist they looked. It was strange how he felt at this moment. After all, he had just met the blond. Yet, he felt as if he'd known him forever. The blond was still blushing slightly as they sat down, that's when he noticed that they still hadn't stopped holding hands.
"…. My name's Naruto…" He murmured timidly, almost as if he were afraid of speaking his name. The Uchiha smiled tenderly.
"I'm Sasuke…. It's a pleasure to meet someone like you." He spoke softly, moving abit closer to the blond as other auditions took place. Naruto smiled softly at that and as well moved closer.
"Sasuke…." He murmured quietly, his heart thundering in his chest at the contact, and the butterflies fluttering around in his stomach, he was never this timid before, he didn't understand why he felt this way now. It was sort of odd, but he didn't really mind, all that mattered right now, was here and now, and what a beautiful, handsome, entrancing person he was with.
"…Hnn?" The ravenette murmured quietly, his onyx eyes never leaving the tanned angel's face, oh how beautiful he was. Slowly he began leaning closer to the other, those pink lips of his seemed so inviting, so touchable, but at the same time, they seemed forbidden, secretive and almost enigmatic.
"…. Nothing." The golden haired teen murmured quietly as he leaned in as well. Almost as if it were a dream, their lips touched. It was timid and almost cautious, as if both believed that this wasn't real, that it was merely a dream created out of pure wish to hold another in their heart. Slowly their eyes closed, as sounds, voices, and surroundings melted away into the moment. It was almost as if destiny had brought them together like this, as if fate had decided them to be together. The electricity flowing through them, hidden emotions and sudden realizations found by the light touching of lips, a simple gesture, yet it meant more than just that to the two teens. Slowly the Uchiha pulled back, Onyx eyes opened, a dazed look in them. What did this mean?
"…Sasuke…What does this mean?" Naruto questioned softly, voicing the Uchiha's thoughts exactly. Heck, he didn't even know, yet…in some way, he didn't need to. He leaned in again and kissed the other, this time, it wasn't timid and cautious, instead it was passionate and gentle. Again, surroundings melted, and it was just them, their breath, their presence, their hearts beating in unison to some forbidden rhythm that was unheard by the mortal ear. The Uchiha had never believed at love at first sight, but…if that was the case than…why did he feel like he did around the blond? What was so alluring about him?
Naruto pulled back this time. " I need to get home," he whispered softly as he moved back from the other boy. The forlorn look on the Uchiha's face made his heart skip a beat, and drop into his stomach. ". …Sasuke…I don't want my parents getting mad at me." he whispered softly.
" I understand…"
" Can I at least get a last name?" The whiskered teen asked quietly, gazing into onyx orbs with his own sapphire ones.
" …Uchiha…" Sasuke spoke hesitantly as he stood. The look on the other's face didn't at all look good. It looked almost mortified.
"…I must be going." He stated hurrying to stand and leave the theater room, leaving behind a confused and slightly unnerved Uchiha boy. Can it really be? He can't be an Uchiha, not when my family hates his…this can't be true! Naruto thought frantically as he rushed out of the school building, towards his car.
" …" Sasuke sighed softly as he began walking casually towards the door.
"Sasuke!" Iruka called, the teen stopped and looked back at him. " Do you know who he is?" The Chunin questioned worriedly, only earning a very confused and highly concerned look from the Uchiha.
"…No, I don't really know…who is he? What family does he belong to?"
"…The Uzamaki branch…"
At those simple words, the Uchiha tensed up slightly. The members of that clan had slaughtered his parents, and yet the blond didn't even mention where he came from? Surely that had to be a mistake right? This couldn't be happening. He rushed out, ignoring the calls from his former teacher, he had to do something that just couldn't be right!
