I know that I'm supposed to be working on S.S right now but I'm having trouble concentrating with all other ideas in my head so I decided to write on the most prominent one.
Disclaimer-I don't own Naruto or the song Bleeding love (by the way, this isn't a song fic)
Title-Bleeding Love
-Chapter 1-
I opened my eyes and immediately shut my eyes again. Today's date came into mind and I grimaced knowing what was in store for me. I remembered that bastards face perfectly. Onyx eyes, porcelain face and styled hair. His mouth always twisted in a frown and his hands fisted. What hurt the most was his glare. I knew that we weren't best friends but it hurt to be faced with a glare that radiated hatred. I know, you're confused right now right? Let me explain. My name is Naruto Uzamaki. I live in Konoha and go to KHS (Konoha High school also known as Konoha High). I'm a second year student, in other words I'm a junior. I am not that bad in school and have a B-C average. I play the guitar and the biggest thing of all. I'm Gay. Yeah yeah, I know not polite I should say homosexual but that doesn't sound right anyway. See the only people that know the last fact are thee of my friends and my brother. Kiba Inuzuka, Gaara Subaku and Shikamaru Nara are my closest friends we've been friends since middle school. We weren't that close before that. In fact my best friend before that was the afore mentioned bastard.
That bastard has another name to. It's Uchiha Sasuke. He's well known, popular in school, wonderful in studies and stinking rich. His parents died when he was young in a car accident and he was left with his brother Itachi, just like me. We used to be really close in elementary and we were practically inseparable when I met the others. However, I don't know what happened but when we were in 8th grade; he suddenly started ignoring me and had a whole new group of friends. Not only was this the problem but he started to pick on me. God only knows why. Sad thing is, this is the reason I'm gay. I like Sasuke. Yeah he's a complete and total teme but for some reason I like him.
Anyway, back to the topic on hand. Today was October 10th, my birthday. It also happens to be the day that Sasuke and his group enjoys hurting me the most. Wonder why though. Well anyway. I finally opened my eyes when I heard my brother calling me. Oh yeah! I never introduced him. My brother is the one and only Kyuubi Namikaze. He has red eyes and orange-red hair and although he comes as scary and unapproachable, he's really nice and sweet if he likes you. However you should never incur his wrath. I've seen people who've made Kyuubi mad and boy do they get hurt. Although not always physical harm, he harms their company or job using our mom and dads joined business the Uzamaki-Namikaze corps. All in all, he was a loving and caring brother although a slightly perverted one.
He quickly opened my door and in a flash had jumped onto my bed. He was like a fox sometimes sly and smart. Sitting up I smiled at him and rubbed my eyes.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NARU-CHAN!" He yelled out in a sing song voice. I tried to sit up straighter but was tackled down in a big bear hug.
"Oh my god! Your sixteen now! I'm getting older that's not fair. People should grow younger like in that book we read what was the name again? Oh yeah, Elsewhere. Well anyway, your present is waiting for you downstairs and I've called all your friends over for a party ok? Hey are you ok? You look frozen." Kyuubi managed in one breath while keeping me in a death grip.
"Ok! Um, wow Kyu-nii. Thanks for the greeting. Trust me you're not old. You're only what? 22? That isn't old. You're only considered old after 30! Anyway, I don't want to grow younger 'cause then I'd never receive my license and do I have to get up now? Can't you be the awesome brother that drops me of to school a minute before the bell rings? Oh and who have you invited to the party?" I asked in one breath and for your information both of us tend to talk a lot. Kyuubi chuckled and got off me allowing me to get up.
"I guess I'll be the awesome brother today then. As for the other things, we'll discuss that over breakfast come on!" Kyuubi said bounding down the stairs. Sighing I went through my morning routine and looked in the mirror. Sighing I quickly took a picture of what I looked like now knowing that I'd need huge amounts of make up to return to this state after school today. I went downstairs and found out that Kyuubi had made a massive amount of chocolate chip pancake for breakfast but before I could take one Kyuubi swatted my hand away and said one word that took my mind of my suddenly hungry stomach.
"Your present?" He asked me raising one eyebrow. I followed him and he led me out of the house and there on our driveway was parked the best car in the world it was a cerulean porche. It was a car that I had been eyeing for months. I turned around and found Kyuubi grinning a maniac's grin. That's one thing I liked about him. He knew me so well that he never asks what I want. He just gets it. He held out the keys and I saw a small curled up fox hanging on the keychain. Grabbing it I looked at him incredulously.
"Is this really mine?" I asked him still in a daze. He chuckled a little before answering me.
"Yup it's all yours except for today. But that's only because I'll be driving you to school and Itachi and I have a meeting so he's picking me up from there." Kyuubi said still controlling his laughter. At the mention of Itachi's name pictures of his brother came back. The sad thing was, I couldn't even act like I didn't know him when I was younger since our brothers were best friends. It also brought another dreaded question.
"Ano…Kyuu-nii, who's invited to today's party?" I asked shuffling my feet.
"Well let's see. Why don't we talk of that over breakfast?" He asked walking back into our house. I followed him and we reached the dining table. Sitting down we both reached and grabbed a couple of pancakes and started eating.
"Well let's see. I've invited Shika, Kiba, Gaa-chan, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Neji, Temari, Kankuro, Lee, Iruka-Sensei, Kakashi-Sensei, Baa-Baa, Ero-Sennin…" Kyuubi started listing in between each bite. As each name was called I started calming down as HIS name hadn't been called yet. However my blanket of comfort was ripped from me with Kyuu-nii's next words.
"Oh, and I've invited Itachi, Hidan, Kisame, Deidara, Sasori, Sai, Juugo, Suigetsu, Karin and last but not least Sasuke." Upon hearing the last name, I dropped my fork and looked at my brother. He was looking happy but that was because he didn't know. He didn't know what happened in school. I quickly faked a smile and looked at the clock.
"Well, Thanks Kyuu-nii, Come on! We have to start now if I want to get there a minute before the bell." I said getting up from the table and grabbing my bag that I had put in the foyer. I ran to the car quickly hoping that if I was fast enough and had enough topics on hand, Kyuu-nii wouldn't get a chance to change my change in behavior.
I looked back and realized that Kyuu-nii was following me, glad to be on the move although a little puzzled. I settled into the passenger seat of my new car and squirmed wondering how fast this thing was.
"Ne, Kyuu-nii, exactly how fast did you say this car was?" asked looking at Kyuu-nii with overly innocent eyes knowing that he would get the message. He looked at me for a second before chuckling and starting the car. Then his face spread into a maniac grin as the engine purred.
"Let's find out shall we Naru-Chan?" He said stepping on the gas pedal. I knew that Kyuu-nii would be concentrating on driving as fast as he could without hurting anyone that he wouldn't be able to pursue a conversation. I felt guilty for doing this but god knows what would happen if he found out. I looked up in time to see the school gates open in the nick of time to let our car through. After parking the car in a spot close to the entrance, we both got out. Kyuubi was looking pleased at having finished what was normally a fifteen minutes drive in five minutes. He closed the car after getting out and threw me the keys.
"Drives like a dream doesn't she! I swear, I buy you better things than I buy myself." Kyuubi exclaimed walking towards the door. Looking around I realized that Itachi's car was no where near here which meant that I could probably get into class without running into Sasuke. I know, creepy isn't it, I'm in love with a guy that hurts me. Truthfully, I'm no masochist. I don't like being hurt. You see this isn't the Sasuke I love. The person I love disappeared over Christmas Vacations in 8th grade haven't seen him since. Thing is no one else will believe this except for Kiba, Shika and Gaara, the reason being he acts like his old self around our brothers. I was about to make my escape and dash into school but I was out of luck.
Just as I turned around to say good bye to Kyuu-nii and wish im luck for his meeting, a car zoomed into the circle pathway of our school and stopped right I front of us. Itachi stepped out of the car and turned to us with a smile. It was hard to get his smile since both he and Sasuke had masks that were really hard to crack. He walked around the car and stood in front of me for a second then he came and hugged me.
"Happy birthday Naru-Chan. Hope you can finally get your guy." He whispered into my ear. I opened my lips in a gasp.
"How the hell do you know?" I asked pointing at him. He chuckled and his eyes slid to Kyuubi who suddenly found the side walk very interesting.
"Traitor!" I yelled pointing at Kyuubi before I felt my lips turn into a pout. Itachi chuckled harder at this. Suddenly I noticed that Sasuke wasn't around. Before I could escape the passenger door to Itachi's car slid open and Sasuke stepped out. I couldn't help but look up at him. I saw his eyes form a glare that hardened when my eyes met his. I quickly looked away from him and to the ground instead.
"Come on Outoto, you have to wish Naru-Chan a Happy Birthday." Itachi said looping his hands around Sasuke.
"Hn. Happy Birthday Naru-Dobe." He said with a small smile. I gaped at him thinking I was dreaming. When Itachi turned around, I realized I had been. A sneer replaced his smile and his eyes glinted evilly.
"I'll give you a wonderful gift later Dobe." Sasuke growled softly. I felt my eyes widen and a gasp leave my lips. He smirked obviously feeling pleased with the reaction he received. I shuffled my feet around and hoped that my brother didn't notice anything off in my behaviour.
"Well, I'm glad I caught Naru-chan. We've got to go now so take care and play nice boys." Itachi said turning to his car.
"Naruto, don't crash your present please!" Kyuu-nii said grinning as he got into the car. The moment those two got in the car, I took off hoping to reach the safety of class before Sasuke decided to move. I was lucky today since I was able to succeed in my task and I reached the class a good minute before the bell rang. Not that it mattered anyway. I had Kakashi-sensei for first period and that man always came in only twenty minutes after class started. I opened the class door and was thrown to the ground in a whirlwind known as Kiba.
Kiba Inuzuka was hyper. That and he loved dogs. He is the only son of the Inuzuka's, one of the world's most renowned vets. He was as much a dog lover as his parents and he owned Akimaru, a once tiny fluff ball. His personality matched mine so much that if we had a personality switch no one would know.
When Kiba finally helped me get of the floor, looking at me sheepishly, he gave me a hug and loudly yelled in my ear:
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNSHINE!" I startled at his yell and clutched my ear.
"Damn it Dog breath! That was my ear!" I yelled wriggling out of his grip. I walked to my seat with a laughing Kiba behind me. As I sat down a brown head on the bench next to me got up. This was Shikamaru Nara, Shika for short. He was a genius with 200 IQ. Unfortunately this was not a nerdy kind of genius. Shika was lazy beyond belief. His preferred activity switched between cloud watching and sleeping. All the teachers let him be since he could score well without even looking at the books (A/N I wish I could do that! Ace everything skip the studying). Even though he's a lazy ass, he's an awesome observer. That's how he found about my crush, but back to the moment. He raised his head and looked around till he found me. I smiled at him and his lips lifted in a soft smile.
"Happy birthday Naruto." He said quietly followed by a yawn. Kiba opened his mouth in a wide 'O' although I knew he was joking. Temari, on the other hand had her mouth open wide in surprise. She was Gaara's sister and crazy in love with Shika. Only thing is she doesn't know him well.
"Hey Temari! Where's Gaa-chan?" I asked putting my bag on the ground by my seat.
"I'm right behind you Naruto." I heard a voice behind me. I turned around o meet shocking red hair and striking jade green eyes. He lifted his head so that we were eye to eye.
"Happy 16th Birthday Naru-Chan." Gaara whispered a tiny but genuine smile flitting through his face. I smiled back at him.
"Thanks Gaara. Hey you guys!" I said quickly turning around to find the rest of my gang. Gaara sat closer to me as we formed a circle. He was silent and artsy and also very intimidating. However, my brother and Gaara's oldest brother Shukaku are best friends so we grew around each other and he rarely intimidates me anymore. He only smiles around Shika, Kiba, Kyuubi or me. Turning to the group I found all three of them gathered around my desk.
"You guys won't believe what Kyuubi bought me as a present. He bought that azure porche I had been eyeing for months. And Damn! That thing is super fast. It cut our fifteen minute drive to five. But then again, that was Kyuubi driving. I swear he and Itachi are perfect companions in that department. Have any of you guys got in a car with Itachi? Oh wait, you haven't had you? Be glad. He drives slightly faster than Kyuubi and it's creepy. He still doesn't get a ticket or hit anything. I want to drive like that. Can any of you drive like that?" I finally paused here to take a breath and found Kiba laughing hard Gaara looking slightly amused and Shika shaking his head from side to side.
"You know, you were rambling. But congrats on the porche though." Shika said before putting his head down deciding that he had enough of talking. I turned around to face Gaara and put on my best puppy face. I had last night's homework in my hand before I had said a word.
"Awesome! Thanks Gaara." I stated before turning around to madly copy the answers. Within ten minutes I had all the answers for my homework. I turned around planning on returning my homework to Gaara only to have my attention drawn to the class door.
I turned to find Sasuke coming with his group. His group consisted of Neji Hyuuga who was his best friend but never took part in any bullying. In fact, he often helped me after Sasuke was done with me. The next was Juugo. He was big burly and loyal. He was also one hell of a fighter. The other was Suigetsu. Also one hell of a fighter and had a creepy way of looking at me. These were the ones that did the bullying. There was also the girls' of the group. Karin, red head and Sasuke fan. The other ones were Sakura and Ino. Ino and Shika used to be friends but then when Sasuke changed for the worse. She suddenly became attracted to him and left Shika to the dust. Sakura and Ino along with Karin ran the Sasuke Fan Club. They were normally hanging on to Sasuke as close as they could and today was no exception.
As they entered the class, I noticed Sasuke's eyes suddenly slide to meet mine. I noticed Suigetsu and Juugo's eyes following. I immediately knew they were planning our attack by the sudden smile that appeared on Suigetsu's face. I felt shivers down my spine and knew I was in for it today. I was just hoping they would not let it be visible because of the party today. I sensed the air around me grow cold and looked around to find Gaara, Shika and Kiba all shooting mean glares at them. I sighed and put my head down hoping that the glares didn't make it worse. I must have fallen asleep because the next ting I know is that Kiba is waking me up when the bell is ringing. I get up and quickly go to the next class.
The day passes like that, dreary and normal. The only thing that kept me going was the party later today. I sat in History Class and looked at the clock hoping to make time move faster. Unfortunately Time didn't get the telepathic message and went slowly as usual. After what seemed like ages, the bell that signaled the end of the day rang jolting everyone that had fallen asleep awake. I gathered my stuff and dashed to my locker to find that the other three had already reached it.
"See you in two hours or so Sunshine. Oh and don't leave your house! Please. I don't want to lie to Kyuu-Nii on your birthday ok?" Kiba said patting me on the back. He left followed by the others. I quickly ran to my porche and after giving it a hug, I climbed in and started the car. I reached home and parked my car in the driveway. I came to my doorstep and sat down planning on staring at the sun for a little while longer. However, my plans were interrupted when Sasuke and his gang (minus Neji) showed up and dragged me to the alleyway nearest to my house and preceded to use me as their personal punching bag. After they were through with me, they all left. Sasuke however stayed.
"Happy Birthday Gay boy." Was the last thing he said before disappearing on me.
