Ourano Nox: Its been a while but I've finally been able to update. Enjoy this chapter. And I still don't own Naruto.
"Really Sasuke? Did you just have to knock him out?" Masaki asked as they entered the academy doors.
During their walk, Naruto and Sasuke had gotten into a fight. Of course, Sasuke won by running the blond into a pole. Sasuke only shrugged and dragged Naruto behind him by the shirt collar. It wasn't that he didn't care. . . except that was exactly what it was. It didn't concern him much that Naruto in his mind was an idiot but had his moments. Shikamaru and Kiba glanced at each other before shrugging as they followed behind. Kiba was still laughing at the fact Naruto ran into a pole.
"He'll be fine anyway. Naruto has fallen from unbelievable heights and survived. So. . .I don't see why he won't wake up in a matter of minutes." Shikamaru said as the group walked to their homeroom.
Kiba nodded in agreement while snickering.
"That really is not that reassuring, Shika." Masaki said lowly as he sighed in exasperation.
This day was not going as planned. Then again, their mornings always started out like this. The group stopped at their homeroom door, hearing the noise from inside. The rest of their classmates already seemed to be inside.
"You two have made us nearly late once again." Shikamaru and Masaki said in annoyance as they walked through the door first.
Sasuke blinked in surprise at the accusation and scoffed. How did he get dragged into it being his fault. Naruto was always the one who started something with him. He was only minding his business and teasing him like all friends do.
"Its not my fault. I don't start these infernal fight every morning now do I?" he mumbled while putting Naruto in his assigned seat.
Kiba rolled his eyes, shutting the door behind him and dodging a paper ball that zoomed through the air. He quickly went to his seat before they could draw any more attention to their lateness. Sasuke could never take part of the blame. He was stuck up in some of his ways and always thought that he get over with anything.
"Shut up, Uchiha." he mumbled before taking his seat.
Kiba should have had time to dodge the punch that was sent towards his head but luck was against him today. Sasuke's fist connected with his head and knocked him out of his seat. A large red bruise quickly started to from where he was hit.
"Asshole." Kiba grumbled as he climbed back into his seat to regain some of his dignity.
Once he deemed himself fit, he turned around and started to flirt with Hinata. Shikamaru smirked lightly as he watched Kiba before laying his head on the desk. He was too lazy to even try to put a word into the little spat. He would only watch until either one of the two things happened:
1. Shino would kill Kiba for being a pervert, messing with his girlfriend and the dog would try to hide behind him.
2. Masaki would drag Kiba away and give Kiba a lecture before going off to sit with Naruto. . .when he woke up, of course.
Speaking of Naruto, the blond groaned in his seat before opening his eyes. He was naturally confused as to where he was before releasing that he was in homeroom. That meant that what happened wasn't a dream and there was a reason his head hurt like hell.
"Damn Sasuke for making me run into that pole. . .poles are freaking evil. . ."Naruto grumbled under his breath as he rubbed his sore nose.
A few aspirin and a bottle of water was placed on his desk to him as he grumbled those words.
"I was going to guess you would need these since you always manage to hurt yourself when it comes to fighting Sasuke. We can deal with that after school." Masaki said to him with a friendly smile.
Naruto took the aspirin and a few gulps of water before pulling his friend into a tight bone-crushing hug. Masaki wheezed at the tight grip as he was pulled partially out his seat. He returned the gesture as he patted Naruto on the back a few times. Since when was he overly affectionate?
"Awww! I didn't know your cared for me that much!" Naruto teased while making Masaki blush.
Getting out of the tight hug, Masaki punched Naruto playfully while putting himself back into his seat.
"I care for all my friends. . .but your kind of in the middle. It's like I'm your babysitter or something. Don't think I forgot all those times I nearly got killed in the morning!" he said as Naruto feigned hurt.
Naruto pouted and crossed his arms as he muttered about not being reckless. He just wanted to get to school on time in the most exciting way possible. As he was about to reply, Iruka walked in dressed in a casual shirt and a pair of jeans along with some expensive looking sneakers.
"Good morning class! We're going to have a great day! I have a surprise project for you to do!" he said cheerfully as he clapped his hands together.
A collective groan came from class (except for Shino, Sakura, and Ino) as they heard that.
Naruto hated projects since he was always paired off with someone who didn't like him that much. Or even worse, the work was too hard and he would always end up failing. This morning was turning out to be one of the worst.
