Let Your Inner Self Out

a/n: So...this just popped into my head one bright summer's day, and I just had to upload it before my scumbag brain forgot. I don't think it met my expectations though, since it looked so awesome in my mind. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little fic nonetheless. I accept all kinds of reviews, - even flames (but please don't be too mad, my heart might not be able to take it), I just take it as constructive criticism anyway. Rated T for some minor swear words in later chapters. This fic is generally Humor with just a touch of Romance and hinted pairings - but nothing too fluffy or mature.


"Sasuke, get out of bed already!"

'Sigh…I forgot it was the first day of school today.' The teenager lazily got out of bed and started to get ready for school. 'Mom sure is excited about school,' he thought as he looked at the small clock on his bedside table and saw that it was only 6:30.

"Coming Mom!" He said, as he changed into his school uniform, a white short-sleeved button-up shirt with a green tie and khaki pants. He finished changing and slung his backpack over his shoulder.

"Hurry up!" His mom screamed.

"Hai, hai…" Sasuke murmured. "You don't need to tell me twice." The smell of bacon and eggs wafted into his room, and he smiled and went downstairs.

"Finally, you're here." Mikoto said. She looked at her son from over her shoulder. "Now come to the table and eat." She smiled at Sasuke, who thought, 'She's like a totally different person now.'

Sasuke nodded and sat down at the table, where he was greeted by his father with a nod.

"Morning, Sasuke." He said, not even looking from his newspaper. Sasuke was used to his father's coldness towards him, so he turned to his older brother, Itachi.

"Morning, Aniki." Sasuke said, and his brother replied with an eerily cheerful smile.

"Good morning, Otouto." Itachi was wearing his own school uniform, a black long-sleeved jacket with a red tie, and dark maroon-ish pants.

"Finish eating quickly, Sasuke, or you and Itachi might be late for school." Sasuke's mother said coolly, but Sasuke could see the veins appearing on her forehead.

Sasuke nodded and started eating. When he finished, he and Itachi both got up and started quickly towards the front door of their house. But they weren't fast enough.

"Wait a minute!" Sasuke sighed, and he and his older brother turned to Mikoto, who was rushing towards them, a camera in her hands.

"Mom, we'll be late for school if you'll take pictures." Sasuke said.

"Yes. Sasuke's right, Mom." Itachi added, smiling at his mother. "Besides, we already have lots of pictures from when Sasuke was in Middle School."

"But we don't have any pictures of you in High School!" She retorted, pouting at her two sons. "It's Sasuke's first day today, and this is your last year in high school too, Itachi." She smiled and looked back at her husband, who was still reading the newspaper.

"Just do what your Mother wants you to boys." He half-shouted, half-muttered, feeling Mikoto's gaze on him. Sasuke and Itachi both sighed, and smiled as their mother took dozens of pictures of them.


As Naruto walked with his group of friends, he saw a huge black Mercedes-Benz pull up in front of his school, Konoha High.

"Oi! I've never seen that car come here before!" Kiba remarked, pointing at the sleek black vehicle that parked right across the school. The wild-looking boy grinned and patted his dog, Akamaru, who was nestled in Kiba's varsity jacket. "I wonder if we're gonna have a transfer student in our class."

"Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed out of excitement. "I'm getting excited just thinking about it!" He and Kiba laughed and started sprinting in the direction of the school.

"Mendokuse…" muttered a boy with raven-black hair tied in a high ponytail. "Chouji, remind me why we actually hang out with them." He said to his best friend, a 'pleasantly plump' boy who had always had a bag of chips in his hands.

"Shikamaru, you know we would never have passed Phys. Ed. without them." He answered in between chews.

"And those idiots would have never passed anything BUT Phys Ed. without me." Shikamaru muttered, as he and Chouji followed their hyperactive friends. "They don't even know if we're in the same class." He said, then thought to himself, 'I hope we're not.'

"Ne, Shikamaru, Chouji!"Naruto and Kiba exclaimed, jumping up and down and causing a few people to stare at the four of them. 'Kami, please don't let us be in the same class.' He thought, closing his eyes as tightly as he could and letting his rotund friend lead him towards the two idiots.


"Ne, Shikamaru, Chouji!" Sasuke looked out of the window in his brother's Mercedes-Benz and saw two boys jumping and shouting beside the school. He sighed and turned to his older brother.

"Itachi, please don't force me to be stuck in this school with these idiots." He said, practically begging but showing absolutely no emotion on his face at the same time.

Itachi smiled and almost chuckled. ""Sasuke, you're one of the sons of Fugaku Uchiha, the biggest name in the Japanese Mafia. I think you'll be able to handle those guys." He said encouragingly. "Anyway, having a few goofballs around is good for you. So you don't go insane."

Sasuke sighed and nodded. "Alright. I guess if you haven't gone insane with Deidara and Tobi in your group, then fine." Itachi smiled and gently nudged his brother out.

"Come on. You still have to attend the Morning Assembly."

"Ugh. That means I'll have to go onstage. Damn this school." Itachi smiled again and opened his brother's door.

"Well, it's either that or stay in that school with that red-headed stalker girl, Karin." He said to Sasuke, who sighed and got out of the car.

"Alright, alright. Fine, I'm going." Sasuke said, turning on the iPod he smuggled from home.

"I'll pick you up after school okay?" Itachi asked, with which he was replied to with a "Hn," from Sasuke. "Alright then." Itachi closed his brother's door and drove off, leaving Sasuke to watch him go.

"Damn. I really have to go through all this, then…" Sasuke muttered to himself as he walked towards the campus.


"Come on you guys!" Naruto exclaimed while running backwards. "We're gonna be late for the Morning Assembly, Dattebayo!"

"Yeah, yeah. Just shut your trap for today." Shikamaru mumbled, catching up to his friend. "Tsunade's going to explode if you make any noise while she's onstage."

"Yeah, just like last year." Chouji added. "All four of us got detention right then and there."

"And Kiba even brought a pack of cards, so we got the whole day off." Naruto said, smiling at the memory. "At least we didn't have lessons that day."

"Hey, speaking of which," Shikamaru mumbled, looking around the campus. "where is that guy and his little mutt?"

"Over here, you guys!" The three turned around, and saw Kiba, surrounded by three girls.

"Well, at least we don't have to look for the girls anymore." Chouji said, as he, Naruto and Shikamaru half-ran, half-walked over to them.

"Shikamaru!" The blonde girl exclaimed, bear-hugging the said boy and rubbing his hair. "I bet you haven't done anything this whole summer."

"You guessed right, Ino. Now please get off me!" Shikamaru said, trying to pull his friend's arms off his neck.

"Hi Shikamaru. Hey Chouji." Said a pink-haired girl with emerald green eyes. "Good to see you guys actually graduated."

"HEY! How about me, Sakura-chan?!" Naruto exclaimed. "I did that too!"

"Of course you did." Sakura muttered, slugging Naruto on the shoulder. "You and Kiba were always copying from Shikamaru."

"Guilty." Kiba said, a smirk in his face. "I can't believe none of the teachers found out."

"You know you two might get expelled if you're caught."

"No worries, Sakura-chan." Naruto said, gesturing to a blue-black-haired girl hiding behind Ino. "Anyway, we have Hinata on our side and she's the School President's daughter." He pulled her towards him and put his arm on her shoulder.

"Hey, be careful!" Kiba exclaimed. "She's gonna-" Hinata's face turned red, she started stammering, then her body turned limp.

"-faint." Shikamaru finished, sighing. "Baka. Now you'll have to take her to the Nurse's Office."

"Dammit!" Naruto cursed, holding the limp Hinata in his arms. Then he sighed and proceeded to run to the Nurse's Office, carrying Hinata bridal-style. "Be sure to save me a seat, Dattebayo!" The group sighed and walked towards the school doors. As Kiba opened the door, he bumped into a guy with jet-black hair listening to his iPod.

"Ah, gomen, gomen." Kiba apologized.

"Hn." The boy replied, going through the door as Kiba and the others stared at him.

"What a weirdo." Kiba muttered.

"I think he's kind of cute, though." Ino and Sakura said at the exact same time. Shikamaru sighed, while Chouji opened a new bag of chips.

"Oh, Hell No!" Sakura exclaimed. "You did not just say the same thing I did!"

"Uh, yeah I did!" Ino exclaimed. "And don't you dare try and steal him away from me!"

"Steal him away from you?! You're not even together!"

"Sakura, Ino." Shikamaru said, trying to be the voice of reason. "You both just met him."

"SHUT UP!" They said at the same time. "IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

Shikamaru sighed, and looked at Chouji. "Gimme some of those chips."


"Ah, Neji. Those two young women exuberate such YOUTH!"

"Just keep quiet , Lee. You're getting on my nerves." Neji sighed and walked over to the school. "I wonder who that guy was."

"Which guy?" Tenten asked, an innocent look on her face. "Wait, do you have another 'Guy Crush'?!"

Neji mentally face palmed and glared at his girlfriend. "Baka. He just looked familiar, that's all." 'Damn! I can't remember. Who was that guy? Why does he look so familiar?' Neji thought to himself, then his mind turned to another thought.

"Wait, did you just call me gay, Tenten?!"

Tenten giggled and put her arms around his. "Well, with that hair of yours, you should consider yourself lucky that you're not being teased at school." The bell rang, and the three of them rushed to the school.

"I'm not gay." - Neji

"Of course you aren't." - Tenten

"YOU TWO ARE MOST YOUTHFUL!" - Lee

"Lee, Shut up!" - Tenten

"You ruined the mood, Baka." - Neji

"But Neji-" - Lee

"SHUT UP!" - Tenten & Neji


"Hey, look! It's Tenten, Neji and Lee-san!" Sakura exclaimed, pointing in the direction of the mentioned trio. Tenten looked up from her scolding Lee and smiled.

"Hey guys! Long time no see. So what were you up to this summer?"

"You should've come with us, Ten-chan!" The three girls started talking non-stop, and Neji sighed.

"I should be going." He said. "I want to be able to find some good seats for the morning assembly."

"Ah! I'll come with you, Neji!" Lee exclaimed, raising his hand unnecessarily. Neji sighed again and nodded.

"Hey, save some seats for us." Kiba said. "I bet the girls are gonna be going at it for a while."

"Hn." Neji muttered, walking calmly away from the girls, while Rock Lee trailed behind him.

"Wait, was that a yes, or a no?" Kiba asked, turning to Shikamaru and Chouji.

"We should just be sure and go already." Chouji muttered. "Besides, I'm running out of chips."

"So, who's got the balls to talk the girls into coming with us?" Shikamaru asked. Chouji and Kiba both stared at him in response.

"Two against one." Chouji said with a smile.

"Good luck, Shikamaru."

"Damn, this is troublesome."
