Title: Unlucky

Extended Summary: From the outside, Konoha High seemed like a typical high school for normal kids. ...Except it wasn't. It was actually a school training teenage kids to become spies. This story focuses on a group of 10th and 11th grade boys and girls who, like I stated before, were just training to become spies. The students were given missions and jobs to help prepare them for the "real world". The missions they were given were only low-class missions that they would, of course, come back alive from. But this particular group of students were thrown into a life or death situation with no escape. And this is when the gates of hell were opened.

Arc (1): The President and His Son Arc.

Naruto and Neji are 16, turning 17. I felt like having Naruto being born the year before the rest of his grade.

Genres: Adventure, Humor, Romance, Action, and Drama.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I wish I did though :/ There would be lots of SasuNaru if I did. Hehe.

Warnings: Some swearing (there will probably be some swearing in each chapter so head's up)

All of the characters will have pretty significant roles in this story. The main characters are Naruto and Neji, though. The main pairing will be Naruto/Neji. So if you have a problem with Naruto and Neji being together or if you are anti-yaoi or some shit, please leave. There will be other pairings, too.

I just randomly felt some inspiration to write a story. So here it is. Yay!

I hope you enjoy. The romance might not come until a little later, so please be patient.

Um, so, yeah. Enjoy.


A boy wearing a white polo shirt with the Konoha High leaf symbol tucked into his black flat front was running down a hallway grunting and glaring at the people giving him weird looks.

I'm almost there, come on!

The bell rang.

DAMNIT! Yamato-sensei's gonna kill me!

He ran faster seeing as his teacher was already closing the door.

"Yamato-sensei! Please wait!" cried the boy. His teacher looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Naruto, you're late," he stated. The boy called Naruto bowed and apologized, giving his teacher a lame excuse.

"You know what happens to students who are late to my class," Yamato said to his student. Naruto sighed and looked down at the ground. "I know," he whispered.

Yamato gave Naruto a yellow piece of paper and said, "One hour detention after school, young man."

Naruto pouted and walked to his seat ignoring the few chuckles from his fellow students. He slouched in his chair and looked out the window at the garden.

Naruto was upset that he had detention but was also happy that his punishment was less severe than the last time he was late to this class.

He shuddered just thinking about it.

Why did my alarm have to break today of all days?! And that Sasuke… teme… he didn't wake me up either.

How unlucky was that?

Naruto looked around the classroom looking for his roommate and saw his evil so-called best friend giving him a small condescending smirk.

Damn you, you bastard. Naruto glared back and was going to mouth something when his teacher interrupted him.

"Alright class," he started, "I'm sure you all know of this but I'm obligated to tell you anyways. Midterms are starting next week."

There was a collective moan from the class, obviously unhappy about the upcoming tests.

"Alright alright, settle down now. As you all know, each grade has a midway test before midterms. We test your skills and abilities. One lucky, or smart, student will pass this test and will get a free pass excusing them from midterms. And as most of you know, that test is tomorrow. Make sure you go to sleep early. The buses will be here to pick you up at 7:30 am sharp. Any late students will not be able to get on the bus and will also drop a letter grade in each of their midterm tests. Understood?"

Yamato looked around at the students nodding their heads and then looked at Naruto. "That means you too, Naruto. Tardiness is not acceptable."

Naruto shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Okay, sensei..." he muttered.

"Also, this test will be taking place on an island close by. It will take 1 hour to get there. You are not allowed to bring anything except for the equipment listed on a paper I will give to you in just a moment. So you better learn some new hand games or find some jokes to tell as you will not be permitted to bring any electronics or games on the bus or boat."

The class groaned again as Yamato started passing out the papers. A girl with dark pink, almost red, hair and glasses raised her hand.

"Um, sensei?" she asked. After he finished passing out the papers, Yamato looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Karin?"

"Um, well, what's the point of this test exactly?" she asked.

Yamato walked back to his desk and sat down on it. "The midterm tests are all written tests, and people can cheat or guess on questions. But the midway exam also shows us your progress from last year until now. With this we can see if you need extra help or if you should be placed in a higher class. Anyways, talking about tests, I have prepared a pop quiz for today! Who's excited?" Yamato grinned, or gave a sinister smirk in Naruto's eyes, at the students' surprised faces.

Naruto just sighed and leaned back in his chair. He wasn't really looking forward to the midway exam. Sure he'd studied like hell but he knew that his horrible luck would just somehow ruin the exam for him.

He was just extremely unlucky.


Ahh it's lunch time... finally..

Naruto walked down the café looking around at the different mini restaurants. His eyes lit up when he saw his favorite one, Ichiraku Ramen.

Naruto gave the cashier his huge boyish grin and asked for 'the usual.' After paying the cashier he walked to the end of the counter smiling when he saw his big bowl of "MISO RAMEN!"

"Shut up, dobe!" Sasuke yelled from his seat at the opposite end of the cafeteria. "You shut up, teme!" Naruto yelled back. Naruto murmured something about guys with a chicken for hair needing to mind their own damn business.

Naruto took his tray and walked over to where teme, as he liked to call Sasuke, was sitting with their friends. These friends being Ino, Shikamaru, Kiba, Sakura, and Sai.

"Agh," Ino groaned, "I got in trouble last period."

Shikamaru sighed and said, "Well maybe if you stopped hiking your skirt all the way up your damn ass you wouldn't have gotten a detention today."

Ino glared daggers at him. She 'hmphed' and started picking at her salad. Naruto rolled his eyes and started slurping his ramen. "Stop eating your ramen like that, you're ruining my appetite," uttered Kiba.

Naruto snickered and said, "Have you seen your face? Next time you should try to make the food go IN your mouth." Kiba growled and snatched a napkin from his plate to wipe his meal off of his face.

After Naruto finished his ramen, he turned to Sasuke. "Hey, teme."

Sasuke looked up from his phone and asked, "Hn?" Naruto rolled his eyes at his usual response. "Anyways," he said, "Get this. I somehow managed to bribe 'Mr. I have a stick up my ass' to help me study for tomorrow and midterms."

"Oh? And who's this 'Mr. I have a stick up my ass' you speak of?" a deep baritone voice asked.

Naruto looked up to see Hyuga Neji and his friends Tenten and Lee walking towards their table.

Naruto watched Neji's long strides towards his table that practically screamed "I am better than all of you" before answering him. "You, dumbass."

"I'm not dumb, I was being sarcastic," Neji said.

Naruto ignored this and said, "Anyways thanks for agreeing to tutor me. I knew you'd finally come through." He grinned.

Neji finished chewing and said, "I actually just felt bad for you. I decided that maybe if I helped tutor you it'd count towards my community service hours."

Everyone at the table laughed as Naruto just huffed while crossing his arms, a barely perceivable red tint across his cheeks.

"It's okay dobe," Sasuke patted Naruto's back soothingly, "We all know you're stupid, but you're not that stupid."

Naruto's glare almost rivaled Sasuke's infamous one. "My day was horrible today all because you decided not to wake me up this morning."

Sasuke shrugged, unfazed by Naruto's glare. "It's not my job to wake you up and it's not my fault your alarm clock broke. You're just one extremely unlucky bastard."

The amusement in Sasuke's voice made Naruto start to believe that it actually WAS Sasuke's fault that his alarm clock broke, but he didn't dwell on it.

"Whatever," Naruto waved Sasuke off.

"Don't feel bad, Naruto," Sai piped in, "Once you finally hit puberty maybe you'll finally grow a dick. Then it won't matter if you're dumb or not."

Naruto glared at him. He was turning into Sasuke today. "Don't be rude, Sai!" Sakura lightly slapped Sai's arm.

"Okay, flat-chest. You'll hit puberty someday, too." Sai gave his fake smile.

Sakura was about to pounce on top of Sai and beat the shit out of him but luckily Naruto and Ino held her back.

She sat back down and straightened her uniform while counting down from ten to one to calm herself. After she was calm she looked at Naruto.

She broke off a piece of her bread and threw it at Naruto's forehead. "Hey, Naruto?" He looked at her and asked, "Nani, Sakura-chan?"

"Is it alright if I come over to your dorm tonight to study? I heard some senior girl was throwing a party tonight."

"Hmm," Naruto rubbed his chin, "I don't know, Sakura-chan. That piece of bread really hurt my forehead."

Sakura reached across the table and smacked Naruto upside the head. "Ow!" he yelled and glared at her. "Alright alright, you can come over!"

Sakura smirked. "I always win." Naruto rolled his eyes - he swore they were going to fall out of his head by the end of the day - for the one millionth time today.

After eating and conversing, the students threw away their lunches and returned back to class.


Neji took his keys out of his pocket and opened the door to his room. He put his backpack on his couch and stretched.

After stretching, he walked over to the counter and popped a black silk k-cup inside his Keurig machine.

Waiting for it to finish pouring in his cup, he walked towards the bedroom he shared with none other than the infamous-

"WOOF!" A large white dog named Akamaru pounced on Neji almost making him trip and fall.

He sighed and rubbed the dog's head. "Good afternoon, Akamaru." The dog woofed in return. Neji honestly couldn't believe the headmaster allowed Kiba to bring a dog here.

Neji looked across the room to see his roommate sleeping and snoring very loudly.

He looked at the clock to see that it was only 2:50 pm. He had about an hour until his study session with the blonde goofball he called his friend.

Hearing that the machine stopped pouring his coffee, he walked back to the living room and grabbed his cup. He sat down on the couch as his mind started to wander.

Though Naruto wasn't exactly his type of friend, he was grateful to him. On a particular mission that went nasty a few years ago, Naruto had saved his life.

Because of that, he started to hang out with him and his friends more. After a while he finally became more friendly and less myopic. Or, as his friends liked to call it, the stick up his ass wasn't as high anymore.

Neji took a sip of his coffee. He owed the blonde so he decided it wouldn't hurt to help him study. Naruto was smart, he just needed things explained to him in a less confusing way.

Neji used to help his cousin, Hinata, study so he knew exactly how to help Naruto study.

After a half an hour of resting, Neji changed out of his uniform and put on some grey sweats and a black t-shirt with a yin-yang symbol on the back that somehow suited his lean, slightly muscular figure.

Kiba moved around in his bed a little before sitting up and stretching. "Mornin', your highness," he yawned.

Neji looked at him. "It's 3:25 pm," he stated. "Whatever," grunted Kiba.

Neji started gathering some old 10th grade books and files from a drawer next to his bed. Kiba raised an eyebrow.

Neji saw this and said, "It's for Naruto. I'm helping him study today, remember?"

Kiba smirked. "Oh, you guys are 'studying' today?" He air quoted the word "studying". Neji sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"What exactly are you trying to get at, Kiba?" he asked, exasperated. He knew that the next thing that came out of Kiba's mouth would be extremely-

"Yaoi."

-stupid.

Neji paused what he was doing for a second before he looked up at his - unfortunately - partner in crime. "What?"

Kiba laughed. "Don't play dumb," he said as if it were obvious, "You. Naruto. Frickle. Frackle."

Neji groaned.

Kiba laughed even harder, "Save the groans for when you two are fucking."

"Kiba, just because I'm gay and Naruto happens to be a slightly attractive individual doesn't mean I'm going to have sex with him," Neji explained.

Kiba was the only one who knew he was gay. Who knew what would become of the numerous fangirls of the school who worshipped Neji.

Neji didn't really care until he overheard a conversation two girls were having in the bathroom.

... He was NOT snooping on them. Remember, he's gay!

He was walking by the bathroom when he heard his name. He stopped and stood next to the door, pressing his ear to the frame.

He swears he did not look suspicious at all.

"If Neji was gay - which he is not - I'd probably kill myself," said a girl in the bathroom.

After that, Neji made it his priority to stop his secret of him being gay from getting around school.

He did not want to be responsible for any innocent deaths. He wouldn't hesitate to kill someone on a mission if need be, though.

Neji shuddered. Fangirls were crazy. Though he knew that his fanboys would probably be ecstatic if they knew he was gay.

It was a lose/lose situation.

Kiba's voice brought him back to reality. "Just remember to use protection and lube."

"Shut up, Kiba," said Neji, "I don't need advice on how to have sex with someone I'm most definitely not going to have sex with."

Kiba chuckled and said, "Whatever man," before laying back down and falling asleep in less than a minute.

Seriously, how did he do that? He probably got some help from Shikamaru.

After finding all of the needed materials, he put them into his backpack and headed for Naruto's dorm which was, unfortunately, across campus.


Naruto yawned. He'd been studying with Neji for an hour and was getting a little tired and restless. "Do you want to stop?" Neji asked him. Naruto shook his head. "Nah, I just need a little break."

"Hm," Sakura wondered out loud, "Maybe we could invite the rest of the group to come over?" She looked around at everyone. Sasuke and Naruto shrugged, not really caring.

"I'd prefer if it were quiet," Neji said. Sakura hummed. "Don't worry, I'll make sure they stay quiet and let you two study!"


Something hit his head. Neji looked down at the floor.

Goddamnit.

This was the tenth popcorn kernel thrown at his head. He glared at Kiba, knowing it was him. "Do you mind?" Neji asked. Naruto could barely suppress his chuckle.

Kiba laughed. "Dude, I'm just trying to have fun." Neji looked up at the ceiling for a second and then looked back at Kiba.

"Well, dude, I'm just trying to study." Naruto fell on his back, laughing at the way Neji said the word 'dude'.

Sakura was a liar. Neji looked around at the group of friends she decided to invite over. Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino, and Tenten. Plus the four who were already at Naruto's dorm; Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, and Sakura.

Neji knew this would happen but he was hoping Sakura would have it under control. He looked across the room to see Ino and Sakura painting their nails purple and pink, ignoring the rest of the group.

Liar.

Shikamaru was on Sasuke's bed. You'd think he was sleeping if not for the slight movement from his lips every few minutes when he said something to Sasuke.

Tenten was just sitting next to Neji and reading a book. Kiba was having fun bothering Neji. Naruto was entertained by Neji's irritation.

All Neji wanted was some peace and quiet to help the blonde study but it seemed even that dumbass didn't even want to study anymore.

Whatever.

Neji closed his book and leaned back. "So you're finally gonna take a break?" Kiba asked him. Neji said "hn" in response.

They started to chat about random things. Ino was talking about a cute boy in her class that she wanted to ask out. Sakura told her that she didn't have a chance in hell with the boy. Ino threw a pillow at Sakura. Then the pillow fight began.

Tenten and Neji quietly talked about the book she was reading. She didn't really get the point of the story and Neji had to explain it to her. Twenty minutes later, she still didn't get it.

A few hours later, Kiba was being stupid again. "So you know that girl in our class, Karui? She totally wants me. She was staring at me during the whole class." Kiba smirked, feeling all high and almighty.

"She was staring at a piece of food in your hair, you dumbass. Man, you really don't know how to eat, do you?" Naruto snickered. Kiba gaped and yelled, "I had a piece of food in my hair and you didn't tell me?!"

Naruto shrugged. "It was really entertaining seeing people laugh at you," he said. Kiba threw the remnants of popcorn and popcorn kernels from his bowl at Naruto. Naruto glared at him.

"What the hell, Kiba?!" he growled. Kiba laughed and ran out of the living room and into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. "Get out here so I can beat you up, Kiba!" Naruto yelled.

"Nah, I think I'll stay in here," Kiba's muffled voice said behind the door. The rest of the night was so hectic that Neji didn't even realize he had fallen asleep.


Naruto's sleep was interrupted by the rays of sunshine peeking behind the shades of the window. Naruto stretched and cracked his neck, cringing at the sound it made. He looked around the room to see the others still sleeping.

Wait... Sleeping..?

I fell asleep?

Naruto looked around to find the clock.

His eyes widened.

It was 8:30.

They had missed the bus.

Naruto had concluded there and then that he was the unluckiest person on planet Earth.


Ooo. They missed the bus. Poor kids :/ I wonder wuz gun happen next, ey?

Preview (Ignore if you don't want spoilers): Naruto and friends wake up to realize they had missed the bus! Oh no! After calming down, they find some interesting ways to pass time. After stumbling into a very secret place in the school, Naruto sees that all of the security guards are...GASP. He sees a suspicious figure with glasses walking into the most important room in the school. Naruto sees that it is none other than his own classmate...

I hope you somewhat enjoyed this chapter. Review, if you want. Or don't. Heh.
