Prologue:
(Said in a manly voice) A girlish figure walked down the hallway of an ordinary high school. Who is this strange person? Eyes to the floor, hood over head, girlish figure making every step beautiful… Oh wait. Its just Sasuke…
Hey! This is my first Naruto fanfic. I 3 Naruto. If you don't, then go strait to hell. Hope you like it…
(Alarm beeps) "Waa-aah!" (Falls off bed) "God dammit! I had that dream again…" says a still sleepy Naruto. The 15-year-old boy slowly picks himself up, rubbing sore spots, and heads towards the kitchen to get some ramen.
I keep having that dream Naruto thought to himself.I don't know who the fuck that guy…girl… whatever the hell is, but I keep dreaming about them -Starts cooking ramen- sigh. Well at least I know I'm not gay or anything. I got Sakura to thank for that (perverted smirk).
Naruto continued to get ready for school after eating, proceeding to forget about the dream. Normally it would have had him concerned, but he'd once thought a kid at his middle school named Haku was a girl… It turned out all right if you don't mention the beating he received. Haha no seriously, he got his ass kicked.
Naruto left his apartment when he was ready, and walked down to the bus stop. The bus halted heavily and Naruto got on, smiling at the driver as he paid, and felt very nostalgic. He hadn't seen most of his friends all summer because he had been traveling with his godfather, Jaraiya.
Pulling himself back to reality, the boy looked around the bus, and spotted Kiba and Akamaru and smiled wickedly as he went to sit by his old friends.
"Yo, Kiba!" Naruto said, waving like a madman. Kiba grinned back and Akamaru let out a happy "woof". Kiba stood and the boys spared a moment to slap backs as Kiba said, "Naruto! Haven't seen you in forever. Dude, you got taller!"
The two laughed and joked as they sat down together and rode the bus to school. After getting off the bus, they were spotted almost immediately and Shino, Rock Lee, Shikamaru and Choji all came over to greet the two, particularly Naruto who no one had seen all summer.
"Naruto! Where have you been man? We haven't seen you in forever?"
"Dude, you KNOW he was with the pervert. They went on some trip in the mountains. How was it Naruto?"
"Oh it was great. We saw lots of neat stuff… I have pictures if you want to come over and see 'em some time."
"Sounds great. Say… Naruto, you still like Sakura??" A few yells went up as Naruto assured them all that he did.
Happily reunited, the group headed to their class as the first bell rang.
…
"Hello. My name is Hatake, Kakashi. I will be your teacher this year."
All the students stood to the side of the room as the strange man introduced himself.
"As some of you may have heard, I have a unique way of teaching. Rather than grading you based on your ability to do math problems or write essays, I grade you based on how well I think you will do in life after you leave my classroom."
A few moans went up, and a girl raised her hand. Kakashi raised his eyebrow and pointed to her. "A question already? Well, tell me your name and ask it."
"My name is Haruno, Sakura. So your saying that all our grades this year, even if they are all A's, don't matter if you don't think we will function well in society??"
"Exactly. Now also know that you will not be receiving individual grades either. I will be assigning you to groups of three. Your grade for each semester is an evaluation of your overall achievements as a group". Sakura's jaw dropped and a few people let out some outraged noises. Naruto walked forward, making some gestures, "This isn't fair. How the hell are we supposed to get good grades if we're paired up with an idiot?"
"Well, based on your report cards from previous years, you wont have to worry about that. It's everyone else that will worry about if they're partnered with you."
Naruto blushed and cursed as some classmates laughed, and moved back into the crowd.
"Now if you'll settle down, I'll go ahead and…"
Everyone turned and stared as the door creaked open and in walked a new student. The boy had on the same uniform as everyone else, with the jacket off, and sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Backpack over his shoulder, he walked up to Kakashi and handed him a note, then went to silently stand in the corner.
"Uchiha, Sasuke…" Kakashi read aloud. "You must be the new kid."
Sasuke simply grunted.
"Alright… well you arrived just in time. Anyway, class, I will now assign groups. As you can see behind you, the desks are lined up by three per row. As I read your names, each group will sit down in a group of desks in order from top to bottom, left to right."…
"Psst! Sakura!" -Ino
"What?"-Sakura
"See that new kid? He's damn hot. I'll bet you fifty that I can get him to ask me on a date before you!"-Ino
"Are you nuts!? … Ok fine, but loser pays in cash. Hinata, you want in??"-Sakura
"Uhh, no thank you. Ill pass."-Hinata
"Oh that's right. YOU like Naruto don't you!"-Ino
"Shhhh! Please don't be too loud!"-Hinata
"Why don't you just ask him out?"-Ino
"Ino, leave her alone."-Sakura…
…"The first group will be…"-Kakashi…
"Fine, sorry Hinata, but what group do you think we'll be in? I hope I'm with Uchiha!"
-Ino
…"No, no, no, not there, the BACK. I said fill in the BACK first!"-Kakashi…
"Well he's not in the first group, maybe we'll both be in a group with him!"-Sakura. The two girls proceeded to whisper and giggle.
"Group number three…"-Kakashi…
"Dude, look! Sakura is totally checking me out!!!"(ZOMG)-Naruto
"Umm, if you'd like to turn your brain on at any time, you'd turn around and see the new kid. That's probably where their focus is."-Kiba
"Oh…" (Gets depressed)-Naruto
"Hey, how are you supposed to win her over with an attitude like that? Grow a dick man, seriously." –Shikamaru
"I guess your right. God, I hope I'm in her group so bad!"-Naruto
… "Group six…"-Kakashi…
"Chill out! Look, Ill bet you free ramen for a year that you can't get a date with Sakura. How does that sound?"-Kiba
"Dude! ZOMG RAMEN!! I will go on a date with her! Believe it!" -lol had to say it at least once… te he!-
"Group seven will be… Uchiha, Sasuke."-Kakashi
"Here it is!"-Ino
"Haruno, Sakura…"-Kakashi
"Please be me!"-Naruto
"… And Yamanaka Ino… oh sorry, I mean Uzumaki, Naruto." –Kakashi
"YES!" yelled Naruto, simultaneously standing up and drawing a "dear god" and a "We're doomed" from Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke sat down in the far seat by the window, Sakura close behind to sit next to him, and Naruto on the end, drawing a heated glare from Sakura.
"This is going to be the best year ever!"-Naruto
"Did you say something?"-Sakura
"He he, nothing at all…."-Naruto…
Sakura turned her focus back to Sasuke, who then received a hate glare from Naruto, but ignored them both.
"So Sasuke kun, where did you transfer from?" asked Sakura, turning her back from Naruto.
"Sigh. Is it going to be like this the entire year?"
"Like what?"
"You bothering me. Hey you." Sasuke asked Naruto.
"What?"
"Switch places with this girl for me before she makes me dizzy with all her meaningless talking."
"Do it and you DIE!" whispered Sakura so only Naruto could hear.
"Why should I?"
"Because if you don't then Sakura may fall in love with me."
Both Sakura and Naruto gaped and Naruto rapidly proceeded to switch with Sakura as her face reddened with embarrassment.
"Thanks. I'm Sasuke. Who're you again?"
"… Uzumaki, Naruto."
The rest of the day continued normally. When the bells rang everyone packed up and went home…. But there was one thing that kept bothering Naruto. He just KNEW he had seen Sasuke before somewhere; he just couldn't seem to place where…
