MWAHAHAHA YES! IT IS TIME!
HIGHSCHOOL FIC!
Ha... ahahaha... SASUNARU HIGHSCHOOL FIC FEATURING KYARRA! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you don't know what Kyarra looks like, who she is, etc., check out my profile, there is a description of her there.
Kyarra isn't going to be the only main character for this though. It will mostly be her, Naruto, and Sasuke. I have no idea where I'm gonna go with this fic anyways.
This may turn into my favorite fic I've made.
***Warning!***
Swearing, uh duh! They're in high school! There's even a teacher at my school who swears all the time! No, seriously, some grade 12's walked in the room and he's like "sup bitches?" and my friend handed something in and he's like "what's this bullshit?" Okay, story time over.
Yaoi. Again, uh duh! It's a SASUNARU FIC!
I don't know what else.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: One Common Interest.
"GUYS! GUYSGUYSGUYSGUYSGUUUUUUYS!" Naruto and the rest of the group heard, turning towards the voice. They all jumped as Kyarra slammed a comic book on the table, a completely ecstatic look on her face.
"NEW SHONEN JUMP!" she yelled, sitting down in front of the magazine and staring at it like it held the secrets of life. She wore a sequined pink shirt today–even though Naruto knows that she hates pink–and dark, purple-blue jeans. Her super-long blonde-streaked-black hair was pulled back in a ponytail with a pink scarf tied around it.
Naruto was wearing an orange shirt, just like every other day, and jeans. He also wore a pink and black band around his wrist that Kyarra gave to him for him to wear on Wednesdays.
She looked up like she finally realized that she wasn't the only one on the planet, "Where's Princess?"
Everyone shrugged, and Kyarra went back to her staring. She picked up the book and was flipping through the pages so fast, Naruto didn't think she was actually reading it. By the looks on the rest of his friends faces, they didn't think so either.
"Where's your food?" Kiba asked from next to her, and she didn't even glance at him. "Not hungry." she replied, then froze mid-flip of the page.
"Wait... Yeah I am!" she reached across the table and grabbed the bowl of fries off of Shikamaru's tray. "Thanks Shika, love you." she went back to her reading.
The lazy brunet just sighed, picking up a carrot. "Every. Day." he mumbled, biting into it.
Naruto still had no idea how he and Kyarra became best friends. On the fist day of grade nine, she came up to him while he sat on the steps outside of the school. "I'm Kyarra, and we're going to be best friends."
Ever since then, they had been. No questions asked.
Now it was 3rd period lunch, and almost all his friends had it at the same time. Naruto sat in between Hinata and Shikamaru, Shika sat next to Choji, then Shino, then Ino, then an empty chair. Hinata sat next to Sakura, then Kiba, then Kyarra, and we're back to the empty chair.
"The Princess has arrived." Kyarra said, never looking up. By now she was halfway through the book. Everyone turned to see Sasuke walk in three seconds later.
"How do you do that?" Ino asked, and Kyarra grinned evilly. "Secret."
That was her answer for a lot of things, and Naruto thought it was weird. But, if you told Kyarra something, it would be safe forever. She wouldn't tell a soul.
"Where were you? You missed me slamming this down on the table!" The blonde said to Sasuke after he got food and came over, crossing her arms. She had already finished the book, and half of Shika's fries.
"Good for me."
"You're not wearing pink! On Wednesdays, we wear pink, if you don't wear pink, you can't sit with us!" she pointed at her pink shirt and he smirked. He wore stupid dark clothes, like always. Naruto is almost positive he's emo.
"You're not allowed to watch Mean Girls anymore. I am now, officially, confiscating it."
"Shut up, Usuratonkatchi!"
Sakura looked at her weird, "Ky, you know we can't understand you when you speak other languages."
Other than Naruto, but only when she speaks Japanese. She taught him all the Japanese words she knows so they could insult people without them knowing.
"Braccas meas vescimini!" Was the reply, which got their table quite a few stares.
"Maltese?" Naruto asked, shoving mouthfuls of food into his mouth.
"Nope."
"Polish?"
"Nope!"
"Latin?"
"Ding ding ding, we have a winner!" she paused, "And it's one of the only things I can say in Latin."
"What does it mean, exactly?" Ino asked, popping a french fry in her mouth.
"Eat my pants." Kyarra replied easily, picking up Sasuke's fork and stabbing a piece of his salad. He glared at her, but Naruto burst out laughing. Eat my pants? What the hell?
"Out of everything you could have learned to say in Latin, you picked eat my pants?" Sasuke asked, snatching his fork back as she was about to eat a piece of lettuce.
"It's useful."
Choji snorted, "In what world?"
"My world."
Kyarra suddenly sat straight up. Then, she ran to the side door of the cafeteria. Half a minute later, she had basically tackled someone who was walking by, and had convinced the person to come sit with them.
"I am going to be in so much trouble." Neji said as he grabbed a chair and sat down next to her.
Kyarra shrugged, grinning and popping another fry in her mouth. Naruto had already finished his fries, and half of the rest of the stuff that was on his plate.
"We have twenty minutes 'till next class." Naruto stated, "How come Asuma let you out so early?"
"Beats me." Neji replied, eating one of the french fries from the bowl. He looked at Hinata, "Your parents are going to somewhere or another for a few months, so you're going to be staying at my place. Your dad was going to tell you tonight, but since you're here now..."
She just nodded and mumbled a tiny "Okay," but Hinata wasn't really one for talking anyways, she was super-shy. Naruto didn't know why, but she was extra shy when she was around him or her cousin. Funny, they didn't look related, really, the only thing similar between Neji and Hinata was their purple-grey eyes. She was a lot like Shino, in a way. Neither talked much, and Shino hasn't talked all lunch.
Neji, and their other friends, Tenten, Lee, Temari, and Kankuro were all in grade twelve, so they had very few classes with the grade elevens. Temari and Kankuro's little brother, Gaara, was in their year, but he ate lunch with his siblings.
Naruto stretched, staring at his nearly empty tray. He had made sure to eat most of his food before Kyarra got there, since she bet him that she would eat at least one bite of his food everyday. She was winning.
Just as he was about to shove his last carrot stick into his overly-full mouth, she jumped out from behind him and snatched it out of his hands. She took one bite, then turned and chucked it behind her. It landed directly in the trash.
"I win again!" she called, walking back to where she sat before. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a full pack of lifesavers, and a full box of pocky. "For me stealing you guys's food everyday." she told them, giving each of them three sticks and a lifesaver. She did this every Wednesday, and seemed to have an endless supply of candy in her pocket. (1)
Neji reached for a stick, but she slapped his hand away, "Do you give me food everyday? No!"
"But you keep me around anyways." he said, reaching forward again. She didn't hit him this time, but crossed her arms and grumbled something.
Ino and Sakura went back to gossiping across the table. Kyarra stood up, grabbed her book, shoved a leftover stick of pocky in her mouth, yelled bye, and left.
Four seconds later, the bell rang.
Naruto still had no idea how she did that.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura caught up to her on their way to the classroom. They all had Visual Arts next with Kakashi, so they always walked together. Sakura spent the entire time flirting with Sasuke, while Naruto glared at him.
Sasuke and Naruto had an ongoing rivalry ever since they met in grade nine. Now, in grade eleven, they still can't stand each other. No one even knows why, but they just instantly hated one another as soon as they laid eyes on each other.
"Stupid Teme, flirting with Sakura." Sasuke heard the blond idiot grumble.
"Technically, she's flirting with him." Kyarra pointed out quietly, most likely knowing that he could hear them. "Usuratonkatchi doesn't flirt."
"Doesn't matter."
Sasuke just ignored them and Sakura and continued walking to his favorite class in silence. Art was his favorite class because a) it was a way to express himself in a way people may or may not give a shit, and b) it was the only subject he actually had a tiny bit of fun in.
When they finally reached the classroom, Sasuke tried to sit down at the back of the room. Tried, because Kyarra grabbed him right before his butt hit the chair, dragged him to the middle row, and sat him down in-between her and Naruto.
Sasuke had long ago learned not to question Kyarra, for every time you do, she will just say "Secret." and nothing more.
Kakashi showed up twenty minutes late for class, as usual. "Good afternoon class. I'm afraid I got lost in the path of life."
"Good afternoon, Kakashi." the class replied, while Kyarra yelled, "Hi, Hatake!"
Kakashi like them to call him by his first name, so, of course, Kyarra called him by his last. If she had just read one of her ninja manga volumes, she would call him "Kakashi-Sensei". She always commented that the characters in her ninja manga were just like their friend group, but Sasuke couldn't see it.
"Do whatever you guys want, I'm just going to read." Kakashi said as he picked an orange book up off of his desk, just like always. Sasuke swears that man has read that book a hundred times. One person swore he brought a teal-colored book once, but they were the only one to see. Another swore that he accidentally pulled out a knife instead of a book once.
This is obviously not a swearing-free zone.
Kyarra grabbed her tiny bag that she brings with her everywhere and pulled out three pieces of paper, and her giant pencil case. It's a wonder so much stuff could fit in that bag. Sasuke grabbed a black pencil crayon straight out of Naruto's hands, who cried out and tried to grab it again. They got into a tiny war over the pencil, which Kyarra solved by snatching it out of their hands and using it on her own paper.
"I have Science next, with Gaara." She told them, even though they had a little less than an hour left. Sasuke noticed Sakura sneaking closer to them out of the corner of his eye. Kyarra moved her chair closer to his to make sure there was no room, but it also forced Sasuke to move closer to Naruto.
Sasuke could tell that Sakura pissed Kyarra off a lot. Even before she told her to eat her pants earlier. To be honest, she annoyed the crap out of him too. She always flirts with him as if she doesn't know he doesn't like her that way.
"Hey, Princess?" Kyarra asked him and he heard Naruto snort at his nickname. She only called him that because he was rich... well, that, and cause it pissed him off.
"Don't call me that!" he snapped, "What?"
"I'm planning a huge sleep over party type thingy. It's going to be at your house." she told him, leaning over her picture so that no one could see it. He tried to shove her out of the way so he could, but she flipped it over. He saw a flash of dark blue and bright yellow.
"Why my house?"
"Cause it's big, I know my way around, and I'm not going to let... hm..." she counted off on her fingers, "Fifteen other people trash my house." she had a tiny emphasis on they my.
"Fifteen?" Naruto asked, leaning over Sasuke's paper. "Am I one of them?"
"Uh-duh!" she said, flipping her picture back over and leaning over it once again, "It's not a party if you're not there!" She stuck her elbow out onto Sasuke's picture, forcing him to move even closer to Naruto. He could have sworn he saw a tiny smirk on her face.
Sasuke knew why she said "my house", as if she were the only one who lived there. Her parents were never home, and she barely saw them once a month. She doesn't even know what job they have anymore. The only one at home with her was her dog, Kristnay. Kristnay is a tiny husky, who looks like a puppy but is a few years old. The only thing weird about her is that she's completely black, save for a few patches of white fur that looks almost like a silvery-purple color. Naruto insists she's a wolf, and Kyarra insists Naruto's dog, Kyuubi, is a fox. (2)
"What's that say?" Naruto asked, leaning over to see Sasuke's picture better and pointing at the sentence at the bottom. The drawing was of a tree, a very complex tree, and... it was beautiful. Every branch had a different sentence printed in sharp writing. Naruto recognized some of the quotes.
"I have long since closed my eyes... My only goal is the darkness. And the trunk says: If love is just a word, then why does it hurt so much when you realize it isn't there?" he paused and looked at Naruto's picture. "What does yours say?"
"It's uh, kinda long."
Sasuke shrugged, so Naruto pushed the paper toward him, "A snake that crawled on the earth dreamed of soaring through the sky, knowing full well it was impossible. Still, in vain hope, it kept its eye on a baby bird that it had nurtured in its own nest. Little realizing, that the snake is prey because that bird is a hawk ready to take to the sky." The blond said, not even needing to read it.
The words were written in large, curvy letters, and covered the entire page. Behind them, there was a picture of a hawk in mid-flight. At the bottom, there was a tiny snake in the distance, staring up at it. Every detail was captured, like it was a photograph and not a drawing. Sasuke glanced back to see Kyarra not in her seat, but she walked back a second later with a smug expression on her face.
"Did you write that?" Sasuke asked the blond idiot, sliding the paper back to him. Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Yeah."
"Hn."
"Did you write yours?"
"No, Kyarra did." He jabbed a thumb at her, and she didn't so much as look up.
"Did you really?" Naruto asked, once again leaning over Sasuke's paper. He tried to reach for her drawing to see what it was, but she snatched it out of his way. "Of course I did. I do everything!" she told him, and Sasuke smirked.
"I'm kidding. I did write it." Sasuke explained as Naruto sat down properly again.
"I'm kidding too, but I still do everything." Kyarra said, bringing her paper back. "Twenty minutes 'till bell."
They looked at the clock, and she was right. "Fucking ninja..." Naruto mumbled, "Cool picture, by the way."
"Th–" the raven was cut off by Kyarra.
"I know, amazing right?" she sat back slightly to admire her own picture. When she noticed her friends staring at her strangely, she grinned, "I'm kidding."
"Yours too." Sasuke told Naruto, then folded his tree in half. Shoving it into his pocket, he noticed that Sakura had given up on her quest to sit with him. He doesn't think anyone has any idea how Sakura got in their group, other than Kyarra of course, since she was the reason they all met.
Sasuke waited impatiently for a little while, watching Naruto scribble random words and Kyarra block her pictures from his view, then took Naruto's pencil crayon out of his hand. Smirking, he handed it to Kyarra, ignoring Naruto's appalled look.
"Teme! I needed that!"
"Five minutes."
"Fine." Naruto didn't bother folding his drawing, he just shoved it right in his backpack, wrinkling it and ruining the perfect picture. He strung the bag over his shoulder and stood, turning to the left of the table.
He didn't notice the chair right in front of him, so he tripped. In an attempt to save himself, he flung himself backwards... right into Sasuke.
They both crashed to the floor with Naruto on top, knocking pencils off the desk. When they tried to get up, they realized that they were completely stuck in-between the long table and their chairs. Kyarra just giggled, folding her picture four times and placing it in her bag, then picking up the pencils.
"J̀amour tu guys." she told them, walking to the front of the room. "Bye Hatake." she said, and called, "See you guys last period!" to the boys still on the floor. The bell rang in seven seconds.
"Fucking. Ninja." Naruto said, pushing against the desk that was nailed to the ground in an attempt to get up. It didn't work at all.
"Get off!" Sasuke told him, shoving him harshly.
"If I could, I would!"
Kakashi walked over to them, looked at how they were wedged in-between a desk and two chairs, chuckled, then went back to reading.
"Three minutes to get to class." he told them, sitting back down at his own desk. "Good luck!"
They were screwed.
Kyarra walked out of the room and leaned against the wall. She pulled the picture out of her bag and unfolded it. She smiled when she saw it again, staring it the two pictures she drew, and the writing over top of them.
...And hatred is born to protect love.
Sounds about right.
Neji, Tenten, and Lee came in for their next class a few minutes later to find Naruto and Sasuke still on the floor.
"How long have you been there for?" Tenten asked them, laughing.
The boys looked at each other, then back at her, "About ten minutes." Sasuke answered, grimacing. Naruto was bright red with embarrassment.
The brunette was now laughing so hard that she had to sit down. "And Kyarra didn't help you up?"
"Obviously." Sasuke snapped, and she glared at him.
"Well, if you're gonna be like that, I won't help you up either!" she said, crossing her arms stubbornly, which is something Kyarra would do. They hung out together so much that they act like each other.
"I think Kyarra planned this." Naruto told Neji, who was smirking.
"Why would she?"
"I don't know! It's Kyarra, no one has any idea why she does stuff! I don't even think she knows why she does stuff!"
Neji looked at Lee, "Help me get them up. They're blocking my seat."
"Gee, thanks for your concern." Naruto mumbled, "I'm just stuck on the floor next to an Emo bastard, no biggie."
"And," Sasuke continued, "I'm just stuck on the floor with a seemingly ADHD blond idiot, who is obsessed with the color orange."
"And I'm–"
"Will you two shut up?" Tenten asked, walking over to help the boys.
They were seriously stuck. With three people, it took around five minutes to get them un-wedged in the tiny space they had managed to squeeze themselves into.
"Gotta get to Math, thanks for the help guys!" Naruto yelled, nearly tripping over another chair on the way as he ran out. Sasuke just muttered a thanks and walked out with his hands in his pockets. Sasuke had four out of his five classes, and lunch, with Naruto. Right now, they had math with Orochimaru, and they were going to be in so much trouble if they were late... which they were right now.
When he finally reached the classroom, Naruto was being yelled at by their math-teacher. Orochimaru looked strange, kind of like a snake, with yellow eyes and too-white skin. Sasuke was his favorite student, while Naruto was his least favorite.
All eyes were on him when he walked into the classroom. His own onyx eyes locked with the snake-man, who simply smiled.
"Ah, Sasuke. Please take your seat." he gestured to Sasuke's usual seat at the front, and Sasuke obliged. Naruto looked angry as hell at that.
"He's even later than me, and he gets to just sit down? I have to get yelled at in front of the entire class! What, is it piss off a poor kid day?!" he yelled, and Orochimaru glared daggers at him.
"Detention, Uzumaki, tomorrow at lunch." he calmly walked to his desk at the front of the class and began his review on negative and positive integers. You know, shit you learn in grade eight.
Naruto stomped over and sat next to Sasuke, since it was the only free seat. Sasuke thought he looked mad at both Orochimaru and the raven, considering the glare he got from the blond. He felt kinda bad, it wasn't the idiot's fault that Orochimaru hated him, he just did. Sasuke himself had no idea why Orochimaru liked him so much, maybe it was just because he was top of the class.
Poor kid. That's what Naruto had called himself. And it was true, he and his dog Kyuubi–who Kyarra insists looks way more like a fox than a dog because of his bright-red color–were the only ones living in his tiny apartment. He didn't know where his parents were. One day, they just abandoned him. But he kept quiet and just got himself an apartment and a job.
The only reason he knew this was because of Kyarra. She always asks Naruto about Kyuubi, –cause she loves dogs, and Kristnay loves Kyuubi– and he always says they're doing fine on their own. Sasuke could put two and two together, and when he asked Kyarra, she didn't deny it.
The raven couldn't really focus on the lesson, all he could think about was the tiny connection he and the blond idiot made earlier, and if there were more things that they had in common.
After the pointless math period, they had English, one of Kyarra's favorite subjects. She really likes Greek and Roman mythology, and that's what they just began learning about this period, because they were going to read some passage from something-or-another. Naruto wasn't really paying attention.
"Can anyone tell me who the twelve Olympians are?" Kurenai asked, and Kyarra's hand shot straight up. Actually, it was the only hand that shot up.
Naruto sat next to Gaara, who was in this class with Sasuke, Kyarra, Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru. Kyarra sat on the other side of Gaara, and everyone else was scattered around the room.
"Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares, Artemis, Apollo, Athena, Hera, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hermes. Hades is sometimes considered one of the Olympians."
"Correct. Now, can anyone tell me how Zeus saved his siblings from Cronus, and why they needed saving?"
Kyarra's hand was the only one to go up again. "Cronus, who is the Titan of time, ate his children, the Gods, because he didn't want them to overthrow him one day. Zeus' mother saved him and tricked Cronus into eating a rock instead. Since they were immortal, the Gods grew up in his stomach. Zeus tricked his father into drinking a mixture of mustard and wine, which made Cronus throw up the Gods. Then, they cut him up with his own scythe and sent the pieces to Tartarus, the darkest part of the Underworld."
"Did you read that off your phone or something?" Kurenai asked, looking intrigued. Kyarra shook her head, "No, Miss. I know everything there is to know about Greek mythology, especially Gods and Goddesses. Plus, my phone is crap."
"Hm..." their teacher thought this over, "Who is Aphrodite married to?"
"Hephaestus, but she doesn't love him because he's ugly, so she cheated on him with Ares."
"What is Athena the goddess of?"
"Wisdom, and in her Roman form, Minerva, she is also the goddess of crafts and war."
"Artemis?"
"The hunt, and also the moon."
"Apollo?"
"Brother of Artemis, God of music, poetry, and the sun. He also creates prophecies, and has the same name in both Greek and Roman Mythology."
"Nemesis?"
"Goddess of revenge, and is also considered a minor Goddess."
"Poseidon?"
"The sea and earthquakes."
"Gaea?"
"Goddess of the earth, also know as mother earth. One of the Three original Beings, who were Chaos, Uranous, and Gaea."
"Who is considered king of the Gods and who is his queen?"
"Zeus, God of lightning, married to Hera, Goddess of marriage and family. Hera has no demi-god children, and basically threw her son Hephaestus off of a mountain because he was ugly and she wanted a perfect family."
A few people laughed at that, and others said they think their moms wanted to throw them off of mountains sometimes.
"Who used to be one of the Olympians, and who did they give their throne to?"
"Hestia, goddess of home and the hearth, gave her throne to Dionysus, God of wine." (3)
Kurenai sat back, looking shocked as well as defeated, "How do you know all this?"
Kyarra shrugged, smiling triumphantly, "I love Mythology, it's so interesting. I have this huge book at home, like, this big," she held her hands about twelve centimeters apart, "And I read the entire thing in less than a week." she paused, "More than once."
Everyone just stared at her like she was crazy, which she probably was. They couldn't answer a single one of those questions, and she didn't miss a single beat. Naruto laughed at their expressions, knowing that she would do anything to one-up a teacher and the entire class. She did a pretty damn good job this time. He would have high-fived her, but he would have had to reach across Gaara, and he knew how the redhead was about "personal space".
Kurenai explained a lot more about Mythology for the rest of the class, but Kyarra had to correct her on so many things that Kurenai just threw up her hands in disbelief, "Why don't you just teach the class then?"
Kyarra leaned forward excitedly, "Can I really?" she asked, smiling wide.
Gaara pushed her back lightly, "No." he said, turning to her with an emotionless expression.
"Why not?"
"Because you have already shown off enough."
"I wasn't showing off! I just really like Mythology! And–"
"Sh. I said no."
She let Kurenai continue for a sentence or two while she shoved her textbook in her backpack. She walked to the front of the room and stood at the door. She looked at Naruto, then Sasuke, then counted backwards from three on her fingers. As soon as she hit zero, the bell rang.
Naruto turned to Gaara, "Is she not a ninja?!"
"Who knows. Maybe she's also a demi-god." was the reply as the redhead walked out of the door. The blond stood there for a minute, then his face lit up like a lightbulb.
"It all makes perfect sense!"
(1) I have a never ending supply of candy in my pockets too... OOH CINNAMON HEARTS!
(2) I'm making my "I know something you don't" face. :D
(3) No, I didn't look a single internet page, book, or whatever else you could look at. This was all completely off the top of my head. I love mythology. And yes, I do have that book. And I have read it more than once. And it did take me less than a week.
Ending note!
Okay, this really may be my new favorite fic. I love it! And, like I said, I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. Well... I'ma have a sleep over at Sasuke's with fifteen other people!
Yeah guys, I know this one is more than a thousand words longer than the Kyarra chapters, but I want them to be supah-long.
Omg I'm dying of laughter at my own stupidity. I started writing another story and typed Shino's name, then was like: ... wait... did I... I forgot to put Shino in my other story, didn't I?
So I had to go back and put him in.
I'm stupid.
Happy Valentines/Forever Alone day guys, Love ya!
~Kyarra-Chan
I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS!
