Authors Notes: Hello, and welcome finally to my first ongoing story instead of a Oneshot lol :)

This Fic is very loosely based off the Doujinshi "Rocket". But just barely

There is alot of Oocness in some characters, but really just their normal persona exaggerated haha. If you peeps like the first chapter I'll post the second, which is already half finished :) To be honest I really liked the way it came out, rare for me, I always hate my own stories. How sad!

Rated: M for lanuage, and also later chapters. Cos its me writing it and you know how I am lol -wink wink--nudge nudge-

Disclaimer: I soo do not own Naruto or any of it's kawaii characters... -sniffle-

Reveiws are loved and treasured forever!!

Please enjoy :)

Sky Flowers

Have you heard? Every year on the last night of the Konoha High Cultural Festival, sky flowers illuminate the sky. They say, if you share a kiss with someone you truly love the same time the sky becomes as bright as day, you're love will be eternal.

What a dazzling myth……

Two twenty four……two twenty five……

God that clock was slow. Was time really that dawdling? Naruto watched the clock as if it was about to spew out all the answers of life. School was over at two forty five, and the baka had a million more important thing to do elsewhere then sit in a classroom full of learning and…and books.

Ew.

Well, the things he needed to do were important to him anyways. He needed to cook, that was important right? And what about the last boss fight in Kingdom Hearts II? Who was going to save the world!? Do you want to live in a world controlled by a man whose name can be scrambled up into "Man Sex"?! Of course not! Yes the little blonde had many things to take care of and the clock was ticking snail slow.

It's common knowledge that if one stares at a clock, time will appear to tick by painfully slow. Blondie didn't get the message. He was convinced the Prince of Persia was around somewhere screwing with time.

Fucker.

"Okay, before I dismiss, there's a little thing we need to discuss." Iruka-sensei was Naruto's English teacher and his favorite by far. Naruto was somewhat of Iruka's teacher pet, although he was the stupidest in the class, and was sent to Principle Tsunade every other week. There was just a bond between the two, and Iruka adored his little blond baka. "The cultural festival is this weekend so we need to put our heads together and decide what our class is going to do." He stood and wrote Cultural Festival on the chalkboard behind him, underlining it twice.

The class immediately broke out in excited chatter, everyone babbling away on stupid ideas they thought were brilliant. Naruto groaned and slumped down on his desk, his forehead hitting the cool wood. Will this day never end?

"What about a food stand?" Shikamaru said lazily, lifting his hand up the desk with great effort. He sat near the back window where he would looks at the clouds instead of doing any work. This didn't suggest he wasn't the brainiest kid in the whole damn school of course. "It's easiest and fastest to get done before the weekend." The rest of the class nodded, and Choji showed extra gusto on the idea of a food stand.

"Ten other classes already took the food idea, it's booked. We have more than enough." Iruka said , scribbling on the board. "We have to choose between a presentation, or something in the entertainment department."

"Aah! I'm not giving a presentation!!"

"Who wants to learn on a festival day?!"

"I'm hungry, can we go home now?"

The class chattered away and Iruka grinned. "Okay okay, no learning allowed on the festival days. How about entertainment?"

"OH!! We could open a salon! We could do each others nails and hair and stuff!" Sakura giggled, Ino nodded enthusiastically beside her. Sakura and Ino were the most popular girls in school and presidents of most of the fan clubs….which mostly were about most of the hot boys in school, which mostly made them pretend they liked each other, but really wanted first dibs at the resident hottie. Mostly. Naruto actually had quite the crush on the little pink head, a beautiful unrequited love that made love stories like Romeo and Juliet seem like they were about a gay demon trying to win over the heart of a lonely transvestite. Hmm. Maybe he would write a short story about that later….

"Ew! I'm not touching anyone's hair!"

"I can't even do my own hair…"

"That's a stupid idea! Your stupid!"

Moans of protest broke out all over the room. Sakura stuck her tongue out at everyone, making Naruto's stomach flip.

"You guys are idiots, you don't know a good idea if it bit you!" Ino pouted and Sakura nodded. The two girls were best friends, when it suited them. They were always adopting new fashions, and today it was a sort of rocker style. Sakura had at least a dozen safety pins on her pleated blue uniform skirt, and a few on her blue tie.

Everyone jumped as Rock Lee banged his fist powerfully on his desk. "An obstacle course…" He muttered dramatically. Naruto sighed and went back to flicking eraser dust off his English book. "We will test the endurance of every youth at Konoha High!!" Bushy brows was now standing on his desk yelling, his fists raised and twinkles around his face. "A true test of endurance, might, loyalty, and style!! Those who cant make it will die honorably, a warriors funeral!! The time of youth is NOW!!"

Lee was pelted with rolled up paper balls, boos, and a large heavy dictionary.

"I'm not doing more exercise than Anko-sensei already make us do!!"

"We might die!?"

"Pluck your eyebrows, fluffy!!"

Fifteen more minutes passed and every idea was rejected, even Kiba's "Great Dog Show Jalumpa". Naruto wasn't sure if "Jalumpa" was even a word, but he thought the whole dog show was a good idea.

The bell rang and outside, the sound of hundreds of little school kids wondering out into the hall filled the tiny class room, but none of Iruka's class stood up. Ten more ideas were booed, five people we pummeled with dictionaries, and one person was nearly another "Death by Edge of a Desk" statistic.

"Look, people, if you don't like the ideas there's no reason for throwing things." Iruka sighed as Naruto tossed a book at Kiba. Kiba hadn't said anything but hey, he saw the opportunity and he took it.

"Ano…" Everyone turned their heads to the back of the class where Hinata shyly fidgeted in her seat, her cheeks pink. "W-what about….a haunted house?" She spoke quietly. Naruto had known the girl since third grade and still hadn't been able to get her to look him the eyes when he chatted with her. What a weirdo. She was cute though, and Naruto smiled at her. Her face turned beet red and she looked down at her desk with a small grin.

Yeah weirdo.

"That's a great idea!" Shikamaru said, standing up (amazingly). "It's not very original, but it's not too damn hard to build, plus all we have to do is sit around in lame costumes."

Everyone looked around wondering weather that was a compliment or an insult to the idea. Figuring it was the latter; the class nodded and broke out in excitement.

"That's awesome! I wanna paint a forest!!"

"Can I put Akamaru in a bat costume?"

"I have a Chucky doll, can I bring him?"

Iruka settled down the class and wrote Haunted House on the blackboard. "Okay, homework for today; bring back some ideas for the haunted house and bring as many props and costumes as you can." He set down the chalk and everyone bustled out of the class room eagerly discussing ideas on how to scare the bejeebes out of the festival guest.

"I have a ton of costumes from Halloween we can squeeze into." Naruto said animatedly to Kiba, hastily throwing his messenger bag over his shoulder and hitting Neji in the head. "Oh sorry. Anyways, I think we can make this a kick ass thing or whatever."

"Yeah yeah." Shikamaru whined, his hands behind his head. "I don't feel like talking about it."

"Bring Akamaru." Naruto added to Kiba. He looked like he was already about to ask that. Choji munched on a new bag of chips loudly.

The hall was nearly empty except for a few loiterers, and people staying behind to clean the classes. Naruto's locker was across from his friends and they hastily flung P.E. shoes and uniforms into his bag, Naruto stealing glances of the magazine clip outs of busty women taped to his locker door.

"Hey! Naru-Chan!"

"Yo, Sai."

Sai was another one f Naruto's posse, although he was a grade higher. Sai and Naruto hadn't been friends for very long; in fact Naruto had hated Sai for a very long time before warming up to him. The pale, slender, pretty faced boy was one of the obsessions and drool magnets among the girls and a star idol of Sakura and Ino's fan clubs.

Sai draped an arm around Naruto's shoulder. "Did you're class figure out what you're doing for the festival?"

"Yeah, a haunted house."

"Eh, seems kinda like a little kid's thing."

"Kid things are fun! What's your class doing, a whore house?"

"Ouch. No, we're doing a rice ball stand. But yeah we give out free blow jobs if you order two rice balls." He grinned and pulled on Naruto's cheek. Sai was always overly affectionate, but the blonde was used to it. "By the way," Sai added as Naruto slammed his locker shut. "Sourpuss was staring at you a little while ago. You should notice these things."

At this, Naruto looked up and frowned. "Sasuke?"

Shikamaru and Kiba snorted. "He always acts like a douche bag towards Naruto. Why bring it up now?"

"Because, this time he didn't take his eyes off the kid for ten straight minutes. He was cleaning class rooms. You didn't notice? He was standing right there."

"Whatever, it's not like looks can kill. See you guys later." Naruto waved to the guys and walked down the empty hallways.

Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Choji had been friends since Middle School. They all met in detention after trying failing miserably to ditch class. A week of detention was long enough to amuse each other with spit balls and paper airplanes and before ya knew it, they were inseparable. The four Musketeers, terrorizing the playground (not really, they were too lazy), defending the nerds from bullies (unless said bully was larger in stature), and keeping evil at bay (only in video games of course).

Half way through his second year of middle school, Naruto was sent to detention for letting a Chinchilla out of his cage, and that was when he met Sasuke Uchiha.

The raven haired boy had been sent to the hall of incarceration (aka the cafeteria) after talking back to a teacher and was sat next to a certain blonde baka.

They argued, Sasuke was a smartass, Naruto was a stupid ass, and each one was better than the other, and each one had a skill the other knew nothing about, typical rivalry that had somehow burst out from the abyss. As weeks passed, the two had weekly challenges in which one took the other on to an activity and the loser was forced to take the loser out for ramen. It became a ritual, and Naruto had never had more fun in his entire life (and had never lost so much money f.y.i).

Sasuke was knighted into the Musketeers circle of trust and the five of them ruled the school, or rather under a tree in the yard where they lazed around.

Naruto realized he was day dreaming as he walked towards the front gate of Konoha High. He grinned at a junky looking blue car parked in the front, one tire on the sidewalk. The blonde was about to run towards the car when he stopped dead in his tracks. A dark figure cam out from under a tree and slumped towards another car, a black one shiny and sleek making the blue car look like a sardine can with wheels. The boy had ebony hair, spiked in the back and dark deep eyes.

Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto ignored Sasuke completely and hoped into his car. His dad was in the passenger seat, half asleep.

"Dad!" Naruto jabbed his father in the ribs. Minato snorted and woke with a start.

"Geh….Oh hey. What took you so long in there?"

"Class stuff…" Naruto mumbled as he watched Sasuke through the rear view mirror. He was getting into the back of the black Volvo, his mouth talking fast. Naruto could see Sasuke's older brother Itachi in the driver's seat, and Itachi's best friend Kisame in the passengers. Naruto had come to know the two over his and Sasuke's former friendship. Itachi was already in college, as was Kisame, and both were taking psychology. Sasuke and Naruto had always joked about this, saying things like the loony leading the loonier and other lame puns they both laughed at until milk spurted out of their noses, even when they didn't drink milk (what?).

Itachi had a strange Lolita look going on, always wearing dark clothing and eyeliner, his long hair tied back in a loose ponytail. The Uchiha's had obviously won the genetic lottery and even Naruto thought Sasuke's mom was a total babe.

Kisame was a scary guy, a punk rocker with dyed blue hair and a series of piercing around his cheek bones. It was weird and the guy was obviously unstable, yet he got more chicks than Naruto could ever get in an entire life time. Both of them did.

Okay enough thinking of that, he was getting depressed.

Naruto put the car into reverse (wanting to put it on drive), and nearly crashed into the black car behind them. He slammed the brakes down just in time, and also just in time to see the car pass them, Kisame laughing crazily, Itachi ignoring him, and Sasuke's slight smirk.

"Well….that was a good start." Minato said with a shaky laugh. "You're defiantly going to get your license….By the way, was that Sasuke-kun just now?"

"Nah." Naruto put the car into drive and drove home, only missing two stop lights. A new record….

After cooking his Special Naruto Style Spaghetti ('Good to eat, and good for you! With four special surprise ingredients! Guess what they are!') the blonde settled in with his father to watch T.V. on the lumpy sofa they just couldn't throw out.

It was cozy, laughing at violent gore movies that weren't meant to be laughed at and teasing different drunk suspects running away from cops and swearing innocence in a drunken slur on lame reality shows. Naruto and Minato almost made it through Titanic before changing it to watch a magical girl anime (loli shota?) and then changing it back to Titanic just in time for the grand sinking finale with all its horrible sad deaths galore.

Because that's the part everyone really wants to see right?

Naruto sighed as he watched the helpless little people slide down the planks of the ship and into the icy cold water below.

It was always like that wasn't it?

Boarding something beautiful with hopeful intentions and then going down in icy flames halfway through the journey.

He didn't even have the heart to snicker as a man hit his head on a propeller on the way down...

After playing a few games of Guilty Gear, Naruto brushed his teeth, washed his face and changed into his lame kiddy pajamas he had since he was seven. They barely covered his knees. But they were soft and snuggly and anyone who wanted him to get more grown up P.J.'s could peel them off of his rigid, dead, decomposing corpse.

The little baka's room was filled with what you would normally expect in a teenage boys hovel. Clothes littered the floor along with random magazines, manga, game covers, a few pairs of (clean he swears!) boxers and toys….Yes toys. Whoever said he couldn't have Star Wars action figures could pry them from….well you get it.

Blondie jumped into his bed and pulled out a manga he had almost finished the night before. He flipped through the pages absent mindedly, each page fanning by his face, flashes of black and white expressions and speed lines blurring past his blue eyes.

"Naruu-chan!"

"AHH!"

Bump

Naruto rubbed his head where he hit it, mumbling under his breathe. Sai laughed as he sat in the window pane, his chin in his hand.

"Didn't mean to scare you." He said with a smile that clearly said otherwise. Naruto sat back up.

"Well you did ya retard! Why can't you use the door like a normal human being?"

"Oh yes, normal humans drop by their neighbors house at 1:23 a.m. I'll mention that to your father when I'm knocking on the door."

Sai had a habit of popping in on Naruto at night and randomly on weekends. He lived next door. Naruto didn't mind in the least, he liked Sai and only found it slightly abnormal to have another male in your room in the late night hours, but hated Sai's ninja esque methods of letting himself in. Just last week he gave himself a concussion from hitting his head on the corner of his nightstand. Worse still, he had just got out of the shower and his towel fell off. Sai kept making perverted jokes the rest of the weekend….

"You seem down." Sai assumed, picking Naruto's manga up from the floor and flipping through it. He had invited himself in and was nuzzling Naruto's Godzilla vs. Mothra pillow.

Naruto grumbled and settled down next to Sai, his head hanging off the bed. "Do I? I didn't notice…."

"Is it because of Sasuke-kun? Did he talk to you after school today?"

"Nah. He just threw me some looks. If look could kill…."

Sai patted the tacky pillow and pulled out a thin book. "Since when do you study physics?"

"HEY!" Naruto quickly tried to snatch it away but Sai was too quick. The mooch leaned away and opened it, his face breaking into a wide smirk.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Naruto-chan." He waved a finger and held up the porno mag like it was the Holy Grail. Naruto blushed and tried to snatch it back.

"S-sai seriously!! C'mon! Like you don't have any!"

"Oh my these women have huge breast don't they?"

Sai playfully slung an arm over the blondes shoulder. "I wont tell, it's our dirty little s-ec-ret." He said in a sing song voice.

Naruto turned beet red and stuffed the porn back into the pillow case.

"I hate you." He said huffily. Sai smiled and leaned against the window.

"So what happened?" He asked serious again.

Naruto huggled his Gama-chan stuffed animal close to his chest. "I told you already baka. He just gave me one of his icy glares and walked off to his faggy brother. Oh and I almost hit their car."

Sai snorted. "You never did tell me why you two stopped being friends. It kinda just happened. I know there's more to it than what you are letting on, Naru-chan." Sai's gaze was penetrating and Naruto looked away with a pout.

"That's none of your business." He said trying to act grown up and huffy like he saw the skinny woman do in soap operas.

Sai jumped on his and tickled him until Naruto gave in. Very unmanly for the record.

"It happened in middle school. I don't even really understand it. It's actually really fuckin stupid but whatever."

"What happened? Did you sleep with his girlfriends or something?" Sai asked with a raised brow.

"Hells no betch!"

"Oh I mean, did you sleep with one of his boyfriends?"

"Sai…."

"Okay, okay sorry. Continue."

Naruto leaned back and recounted what happened those months ago.

Next chapter will be posted based on feedback o.o Cos whats the point of posting more if no one likes it? O.O
