Chapter 1
A New Location
Could anything look more frightening? What could be scarier than a barf green colored door?
Admittedly, a lot of things could seem scarier than a barf green door. Some people may even be willing to say that a barf green door is just ugly and not scary. On the other hand, there are freaks of nature that think the color is beautiful and enchanting.
Maybe a normal door could be somewhat okay if it was painted barf green but this wasn't just any door. This horrendous, barf green door held a terrible thing behind it. Beyond the door lay Naruto's second to worst enemy. Everyday he had to pry open the door and face his undefeatable enemy and everyday he came out of the room feeling lower than a worm and craving comfort food.
Hmm. Food. What did I pack for lunch today? Stupid morning memory loss. Naruto thought to himself and grumbled. What lay beyond the barf green door was looking less appealing by the second and how that was possible when the door wasn't appealing to begin with was a feat Naruto could not comprehend.
"I want to barf just thinking about entering this room, so they shouldn't encourage me to do so by painting the door such an ugly color."
"They" was what Naruto liked to call the people who decided the colors of the doors, whoever those people were.
Naruto sighed and scuffed the tip of his shoe against the asphalt beneath his sneakers. His nerves and flipping stomach were making him anxious, or maybe it was the other way around? Oh what did it matter! Either way Naruto wanted to turn around and run.
And why shouldn't he just turn around and run?
No one had seen him yet. If anyone noticed his absence then he could tell them he was feeling sick and couldn't enter that terrible room. It wouldn't be a complete lie. He was feeling sick, just not the coughing and in drastic need of medicine kind of sick.
Yeah! He could definitely do that!
Naruto felt his heart swell with happiness, like the happiness he felt when he had his first bowl of ramen. Without conscious thought Naruto began to whistle and stuffed his hands in his jean pockets. Smile painted on his face, Naruto spun on his heel to leave when the worst thing happened.
It was her!
Naruto had no idea who the teenage girl was but he knew she was going to open that ugly door and reveal to everyone and everything inside that he was perfectly healthy. She obviously had no idea what she was about to do, in fact her glazed over eyes told Naruto that she was daydreaming and was moving purely on autopilot.
As the girl slid past Naruto's side and in front of him his fingers twitched. He wanted to grab the girl and-and-and… he didn't know what but he had to do something! Throw her to the ground, kidnap her, tap her on the shoulder, body slam her, or something! But he couldn't. Naruto wasn't the smartest guy but he wasn't stupid. He knew waking a daydreamer was as good as waking up a sleepwalker. If he startled the daydreamer he'd be perfectly fine one moment and the next he would find a weapon held up to his body.
So gulping down his fear Naruto braced himself for what was to come.
The door opened with a click and the girl slid into the room without pause and in that moment someone in the room caught sight of Naruto.
The door was about to swing to a close when a hand reached out and stopped its movement and Naruto knew he was doomed.
"Naruto," A young man, who could only be in his late twenties, said in a kind voice and smiled as if he didn't know the torture Naruto was about to face. "Class is about to begin, please come in."
Naruto sighed and hung his head low.
The man laughed, oblivious to Naruto's despair. He stepped to the side but held the door open as he waited for Naruto to enter the classroom. "Come on, today is going to be fun! We're going to review Sine, Cosine, and Tangent!"
Naruto wanted to die! Why hadn't he ditched math class when he had the chance!
Oh yeah, that stupid girl. It was all her fault that he was suffering now. He should kick her ass or something for this.
Scanning the classroom Naruto caught sight of the girl sitting off in her own little corner. Her eyes were still glossed over in a haze but her hand wrote effortlessly on a blank page in her notebook. Suddenly her hazy eyes changed. They still held their daydreaming quality but her eyes were narrowed and looked beyond pissed off.
Okay… so maybe he wasn't going to mess with the crazy girl who instead of finding her happy place had just found her angry place.
"…So I've decided to seat you next to Sasuke."
"Huh?" Naruto responded. Had the teacher been talking to him?
The older man sighed but kept the smile on his face. His name should be Mr. Smiley. In fact that's what Naruto was going to call him from now on because he couldn't remember the man's real name; he really should try to find it out one of these days.
"I said," Mr. Smiley began as he let the door shut behind Naruto, and just like that Naruto felt all his hopes and dreams leave him, "while at first I did not mind letting you and Kiba sit next to each other you two have become a disturbance to the class. For the last few weeks I have tried my best to ask you two to quiet down and focus but you two–"
Can't this guy get to the point? Wait! No! If I can keep him talking long enough then maybe I can prevent a math lesson. Yes. Keep talking Weirdo. Just keep talking.
"Now please take your new seat next to Sasuke."
"Who?" For seven months Naruto had been in this class and he did not know anyone by the name of Sasuke. Was Sasuke a new transfer student?
"Come on," Mr. Smiley shook his head in disappointment but remained his joyful self.
How annoying. Didn't anyone tell Mr. Smiley that pessimism is the new orgasm?
As Mr. Smiley walked away from Naruto and waved for his student to follow, Naruto stood rooted to the spot. For all he knew Mr. Smiley was sitting him next to a psycho.
Then again… sitting next to a psycho may be fun.
With a smile and shrug, Naruto followed Mr. Smiley to his new seat.
The seat wasn't too bad. Because of how the seats were arranged there were three seating sections: one against the wall where the ugly, barf green door was (Naruto's new location), the second section was across from the first section with the windows to the back of the students who sat there, and the final section was against the back wall. Each section had about ten seats to it, and Naruto was placed almost in the back corner between two of the sections. This new location would make it easier for him to sleep in class.
Yup, a great seat but the person he was sitting next two was weird.
Sasuke, Naruto assumed the guy with weird, black hair and pale skin like a vampire's was Sasuke, was working diligently on the warm up problems Mr. Smiley had written on the whiteboard.
No one ever does the warm up problems. Not even Sakura and she is the smartest and hardest working person Naruto knows.
Sasuke was also weird because of his seat. The section Sasuke sat in had two rows and Sasuke was in the back row with no seat in front of him or to his left, and the seat to his right was empty. Sasuke was isolated from other students and it made Naruto wonder what kind of freak Sasuke had to be.
"Sasuke," Mr. Smiley said and side stepped so Naruto would be in Sasuke's direct line of sight.
That is if he ever looked up from his paper.
"…."
"…."
"…."
Oh come on! Like math problems were really that interesting!
"…."
"…."
"…."
Okay, now Sasuke was just being an ass.
"Uh… Sasuke?" Mr. Smiley asked, actually sounding nervous!
Mr. Smiley nervous? That was impossible! Mr. Smiley is always happy and cheerful. What kind of person could this Sasuke be to be able to make the happy Mr. Smiley nervous?
Finally Sasuke looked up from his paper and Naruto was taken aback by the freakiest thing he had ever seen.
It wasn't the first time Naruto had seen someone with black eyes but every time he had seen eyes that color they were usually fake; it was usually a character in a movie or someone cosplaying a character.
What kind of a freak was Sasuke?
"Hn," Sasuke grunted and went back to writing on his paper.
Apparently Sasuke was a silent freak.
"Well, I hope you two get along," Mr. Smiley said and was gone from Naruto's side in a flash. Seriously, Mr. Smiley was gone in a flash. The lights of the classroom blinked off and on and all of a sudden Mr. Smilely wasn't there.
Traitor! How could you abandon me with the freak! Naruto cried inwardly. You really are an evil teacher! I knew that behind that smile lurked an evil mastermind! Wait till I tell the principle what your true nature is!
"Hi!" Naruto said cheerfully and slid into the seat to Sasuke's right. Naruto had never been so thankful that he could force a smile with ease. He really didn't want to set the freak off by showing his true feelings for the freak.
"Hn."
"Whatcha doing?" Besides being weird and creepy.
"Hn."
"Alright class," Mr. Smiley shouted and Naruto was grateful for the distraction.
"As you all can see Naruto and Kiba have been separated–"
"Naruto!" Kiba cried overdramatically from across the classroom. Kiba even went as far as to stand up from his seat and clutch his heart as if he were in pain. "No! Come back!"
Naruto laughed. He was going to miss joking with Kiba. The moment he had the chance he was going to sneak back to his old seat and talk with Kiba. However, for now he had a different approach.
Mimicking Kiba's stance, Naruto shouted across the room, "Don't worry Kiba! Someday we will be together again!"
The class burst out in laughter. Everybody was laughing and clutching their stomach except for one person: Sasuke.
The freak was scowling at Kiba. His body radiated murder and Naruto found himself hoping that Sasuke would never scowl at him like that.
Then it happened. From the corner of his eye Sasuke looked at Naruto and the scowl transformed into a smirk.
What was that freak smirking about?
"Please settle down class…" Mr. Smiley's sentence trailed off, which now that Naruto thought about it the action was kind of weird. How can a person trail off from a sentence when technically they completed their sentence? Obviously the action was possible because so many people did it, but nonetheless-
Naruto shook his head to silence his thoughts. He really did not need to be thinking about the value of words and descriptions right now; that's what literature class is for!
Ignoring his inner critical thinker, Naruto watched in amusement as Mr. Smiley stuttered and blushed when the classroom door was opened by a female teacher, who waved for Mr. Smiley to come outside. It was obvious that she was the cause for Mr. Smiley's sudden lack of attention towards his students, and ninety percent of his students were currently worshiping her silently because of that.
"Um… class," Mr. Smiley began, blush decorating his cheeks. He reminded Naruto of a girl about to lose her virginity and by the predatory look on the female teacher's face Mr. Smiley might as well be. "I have to discuss some things with my colleague here. Please help each other answer the homework questions."
Then like a wolf pouncing on a bunny the female teacher grabbed Mr. Smiley by the shoulders and forcibly removed him from the classroom before anyone could stop her.
Seconds ticked by and no one knew what to say. Every student was looking back and forth at each other trying to see if anyone truly understood what had just happened.
Okay Naruto, here are the facts, Naruto's brain told him. Fact one, Mr. Smiley has abandoned us. Fact number two, Mr. Smiley abandoned us for a good-looking female teacher. Fact number three, the female teacher pounced on Mr. Smiley, and Mr. Smiley was acting like a girl about to lose her virginity earlier. So adding this all together means…
"That lucky dog!" Kiba shouted and murmurs of agreement quickly followed. "How does a geek like him manage to get a girl who wants, and is willing, to have sex with him at school, and when one of them is supposed to be teaching a class too!"
"Who cares about that," Sakura, a lovely girl with strawberry colored hair that looked so soft Naruto couldn't help but feel the urge to touch it every time he saw it, shouted and turned her desk around so she was facing her blonde haired friend Ino. "Whoever wants to play Never Have I Ever come over here and form a circle."
"Um…" A shy girl known as Hinata hummed as she bit her bottom lip. Naruto felt pity for the girl. She was seated next to Ino and Sakura so she was currently counted as one of the people who would have to play, and with no friends in the classroom she had nowhere else to go. "Aren't we supposed to be doing math?"
Ino snorted and got out of her seat to help form a circle with the desks nearby. As she maneuvered a desk she smirked at Hinata. "There is math in Never Have I Ever. You have to be able to subtract."
"Hey Naruto," Sakura said as she walked towards him, "Are you going to play?"
Yay! A personal invite from Sakura! This just made his day. He now had proof that Sakura didn't detest him! He was one step closer to getting her to fall madly in love with him!
"Of course!" Naruto cheered and took the initiative to turn his desk around. His new seat was so awesome! Forget the fact that he was sitting near a freak, he was sitting in the same seating section as Sakura now!
Sakura gave him a beaming smile, "Great. Just turn your desk inward a bit more and we'll begin forming the circle from there." And with that Sakura went back to Ino's side to help the girl move more desks.
Ah, Sakura. So helpful, and kind, and beautiful.
He could just see himself on a date with her now. Everything would be perfect and he would-
"Hey Naruto! What's Never Have I Ever?" Kiba yelled across the classroom, effectively ruining the beginning of what Naruto knew was going to be a good daydream.
Kiba was going to regret doing that later but for now Naruto would play nice and answer his question. "The game starts off with everyone who is playing holding up their hands with all of their fingers sticking up like so," Naruto demonstrated the pose for Kiba. "The players take turns and when it is your turn you are supposed to say one thing you have never done. If anyone who is playing has done what you haven't done they lower one finger." Naruto lowered one of his fingers. "If you lower all ten of your fingers you are out. The objective of the game is to be the last one with a finger still up."
Kiba gave Naruto a blank stare. "How is that fun?"
Naruto smirked, "You might learn a secret or two about someone."
Come on Kiba. You know you want to play, and then I shall crush you!
"Alright, I'll play!"
Yes, you fool. Play, play to your heart's content and then I shall destroy you for ruining my precious daydream.
Naruto chuckled evilly on the inside.
"Yo, Naruto! We're starting," Ino said, bringing his attention back to reality.
All of the desks were arranged in a perfect circle and everyone was staring at him as if he had just walked into the room in nothing but a thong.
What the? How did they set up the room so fast? I was only thinking to myself for a few seconds right? So how did they….
"NARUTO!" Everyone shouted, causing Naruto to feel as if he were being hit with a giant gust of wind.
Smiling sheepishly, Naruto apologized and held up his hands like he was supposed to.
"Okay, I'll start us off first," Sakura volunteered. "Never have I ever gotten an F."
Half of the circle groaned and lowered one finger.
"Wow! You sure know how to make enemies don't you, Sakura?" Naruto laughed as he lowered one finger.
She giggled. "Yup."
Next to Sakura, Ino scowled as she lowered a finger and Naruto could sense the intense desire of revenge rolling off of Ino.
He gulped. Okay, admittedly he was currently feeling a little vengeful himself but Ino is scary when she is vengeful. The girl's aura suddenly always becomes visible (at least to Naruto it does) and it is a dark, menacing cloud with little Ino devil's coming out of it.
…
… Okay, so maybe he had an overactive imagination but who wouldn't imagine that happening if they saw the look on Ino's face?
"Never have I ever dyed my hair, and that includes streaking or highlighting it," Ino announced smugly.
Sakura frowned and lowered one finger along with a few other people.
"Eh?" Hinata burst out in surprise. "You dyed your hair, Sakura?"
"No," Sakura glanced pointedly at Ino. "I highlighted it once two years ago."
"Oh." Hinata mumbled an apology and the game continued.
Naruto waited impatiently for his turn. He couldn't wait to get vengeance on Kiba. No one interrupts his daydreams and gets away with it!
"You're turn Naruto," Someone finally announced and Naruto didn't hesitant with his statement.
"Never have I ever given my first kiss to a dog!"
"What the fuck! Naruto," Kiba growled and violently shot out of his seat. "I told you that in secret, and anyway I did that when I was five, when my dog hit his nose against a wall. I was just kissing it to make it better, like any five year old would do!"
"Doesn't matter," Naruto smiled wickedly. "It still counts."
"I'll kill you!" Kiba tried to launch himself at Naruto but the two people sitting next to him held him back and tried to calm him down. It took ten minutes for Kiba to stop threatening Naruto's life and by then Ino and Sakura were threatening to have him neutered. Needless to say it was the girls' threats that managed to tame Kiba.
Isn't it sad how the best of friends will only stop trying to kill each other when their balls are in danger?
So the game went on and on. Everything was going pleasantly as they managed to go around the circle once and no one got kicked out, but people were still saying baby things like:
"Never have I ever eaten carrots."
"Never have I ever driven over a hundred miles to find gas at a cheaper price."
"Never have I ever been to the ocean."
That is until…
"Never have I ever gone commando."
Naruto actually blinked at that one. He had been waiting so long for the juicy stuff he thought the game would stay rated G for general audiences.
Smiling coyly, Naruto lowered one finger, leaving him with six.
From the corner of his eye Naruto saw Kiba scrunch his nose up in distaste at Naruto.
Ah, poor, silly Kiba. He did not know the joy of not being restrained by underwear. It is a freeing experience that feels good.
Some people may find it strange but Naruto preferred the rough feeling of his jeans against his skin rather than the soft material of his boxers. If only his guardian didn't threaten to skin him alive every time he was caught trying to sneak out of the house without underwear. So far he had only managed to leave the house without underwear on twice.
Sighing, Naruto waited for the next person to go.
He rolled his eyes heavenward when he saw that it was Hinata. No way was she going to say anything daring.
And then it happened. She uttered the words that would help in the destruction of his world as he knew it.
"Never have I ever kissed a boy."
Doesn't sound so earth shattering does it? Well that's what Naruto thought until he heard someone whisper behind him, "Damn. I lost."
Only one person was behind Naruto and that one person was Sasuke.
A sheet of ice ran down Naruto's back.
Sasuke had been playing the game too? Well, technically he was half-playing because he never said something he didn't do when the group had gone around the circle the first time, but still, he was playing. And if Sasuke was playing and he just lost that meant…
Oh dear ramen! Naruto squealed in his head. Sasuke has kissed a boy! I am sitting next to a homo!
At that moment something died inside Naruto.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.
Author's Note: Yay! The first chapter is completed. For any of my readers who follow my work some of you may be thinking this is the multi-chapter fanfic I promised, truthfully it kind of is and isn't. I had planned on a different fanfic for what I had promised but then I got inspiration for this fanfic. I hope no one minds.
Also if anyone who was reading this thinks I got the name of the game wrong please let me know. Some of my classmates were playing this game in class and I'm not sure if I got the name right.
