After last night, Naruto was lucky if he got any sleep.

"On a school night too? Go figure it's just my luck." He suled under his breath. Throwing on his usual bright orange coat, he tried to clean himself up before he made his normal routine walk to school. Everyone else he knew went the same way; Sakura, Sasuke, Ino, Choji, pretty much the whole gang. They all had their cliques. The girls had their blonds, brunets, stuck ups, gossips, the works. The guys were almost the same. They have your average bully, jocks, touch guys, nerds and trash talkers. Naruto kept to himself majority of the day anyway. He only spoke when he was spoken to.

"Great…math class first period with a load of guys I dislike."

Naruto was sort of an ok student. So yea there were a few times were some homework or class work wasn't done but you couldn't really blame him. As he entered class, most of the guys were already there. And like every other day, everyone stared at him and spoke under their breath.

"I hate this. It's always the same thing." The blond made his way to the table he always sat at. The assignment was already on the board; 100 problems due by the end of class.

"Lovely. I'll be here till night fall." Math wasn't his greatest subject but he tried.

Twenty minutes had passed. Naruto managed to get ten questions done. Everyone else was three-fourths of the way done and they were talking in between their work. Sakura turned to see that Naruto was struggling. She got up slowly and approached him.

"Hey." she said softly. Naruto practically jumped out of his chair.

"H..h..hey Sakura." he turned to see the pink-haired girl smiling at him.

"Need any help? You seem like you're having some trouble." Sakura was one of the few people who were nice to Naruto.

'Sure…" Sakura too a seat next to Naruto and started to help. About another twenty minutes passed and the pair were almost done.

"Well we've got about five minutes left. You should be able to handle the rest right?"

Naruto sort of smiled. He couldn't understand it. How is it that someone like Sakura even exist? Sure they were on the same team but most of the time he either got in the way or messed up.

"Thanks." he said as she started to walk away.

The bell ran signaling that class was over. Everyone got up and left their papers on the desk. Naruto was the last one to leave. "I've got three more classes until the break." As the time passed for each class, Naruto could feel as if he was being watched the whole time. He has a very strong feeling that something wasn't going to be good.

"Finally break period." Naruto let a sigh of relief. The blond went outside and sat next to the tree with the swing. It pretty much ended up being his since he was the only person who always went to that spot. As he sat down against the wooden fence that was behind the tree a soft breeze came by. "If only were this comfortable.'

Sadly the peace didn't last for long. One of Kiba's boys, Shikamaru, threw one of his shurikin at the wooden fence just inches away from Naruto's face. It was the last thing that he was expecting to happen.

"If you ever come between me and Sakura, you've got anothing thing comin to ya."

Shikamaru wasn't one to go and beat someone up for no reason but when it came to Sakura, he'd do anything to keep her safe. He knew that both her and Naruto were on the same team but that was something he had no control over. He walked over to grab his weapon, lowered himself to Naruto's height and whispered in his ear; "Trust me when I say this, you won't enjoy it either." The look in Shikamaru's eyes were deadly. Naruto was in shock. The last thing he needed was someone like Shikamaru after him. The time Naruto had to himself didn't last much longer. The school bell rang.

"Shit…"

The blond got up and walked back into the building trying to kepe his cool. All that was left for the day was lunch and two periods of gym. Naruto wasn't really looking forward to that at all. Although it was usually a good choice to eat something before class, Naruto decided not to. He figured that he would make something when he got home. Most of the time gym was held outdoors but today the teacher wanted it inside. They were probably planning on playing dodge ball or something. Since everyone else was eating, Naruto took the chance to head to gym early. No one was around which was good. He wasn't too keen on changing in front of everyone. But to ease his mind Naruto checked to make sure no one was truly around.

"Perfect. No one is here."

He slowly walked to his locker to grab his gym cloths. He changed quickly just in case if someone had snuck in. Naruto wasn't to happy about the way his body looked but he knew that there was nothing he could really do about it. As he pulled on his shirt, Naruto looked at his shoulder. He could see the dark purple and blue like marks that always brought horrible memories of the past. A huge bang came from a few lockers away. Naruto jumped from the sound and turned to see that it was Kiba. It seemed as though he wasn't having much of a great day even though the dog like boy picked on a hand full of kids. Something just seemed to make him appear on edge. Naruuto didn't want to bother him but something in him said do it.

"H-h-hey K-Kiba." Kiba turned to see the blond. He gritted his teeth as if to say stay away from me and Naruto did just that.

"Oi Naruto! Your boyfriend give you that hickey on your shoulder?" Shikamaru said as he laughed. Kiba couldn't help but loosen up and laugh himself. "Enjoy yourself out there. There will be balls flying everywhere. You're used to that already right?" Shikamaru laughed even more and so did the group of guys that also walked in. The blond made a strong grip but loosened it. Ignoring the insults Naruto walked out on gym floor. Dodge balls were placed in the middle of the floor.

"Great. This should be fun." he thought to himself.

Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Kankuro, and Neji were on one team while Naruto, Sasuke, Rock, and Gaara were on the other. Games were always uneven. The whistle blew and everyone ran for a ball. The intensity grew as people were dodging and someone was out at least every few throws. Kiba had his eye on Gaara and just whipped the ball he had without thinking. Naruto didn't noticed what happened and as he turned the ball smacked him hard in the face. His body flew a little bit and slid on the ground. Everyone was in shock but cheered somehow. Naruto got up and felt something drip down his face; blood. He got up and ran to the bathroom to stop it.

"This is just great. My fucking luck really." he thought to himself. No one had even bothered to come in and check on him. At this rate Naruto didn't care it was sick of this. Stuff like this always happened and it was like almost no one cared. After the bleeding had stopped, Naruto changed into his other cloths and left for home. He wasn't going to stay around for last period. Besides the teacher didn't really care either.

Kiba watched as Naruto walked out. Something in him didn't feel right. "What's…wrong with me? I feel bad all of a sudden." Kiba was thinking a little too much and didn't realize that he had been hit. He ran after Naruto to see if he was still around but apparently he had ran home. As he walked back Shikamaru confronted him. "Dude what the hell was that about?"

"Honestly I don't know." Kiba was really confused.

"Well you better get your shit straight." As the period ended, Kiba ran to grab his cloths and quickly get home. No one had ever seen him move so fast before.

As he got home he thought to himself in the shower, "I have to go see him. I feel really bad about what happened." The dog boy got himself ready after the shower and headed off to see Naruto. He would hope that Akamaru had stood home or that he wasn't followed either. The last thing that Kiba needed was to be seen at Naruto's house. Kiba was now standing at Naruto's door. His heart was beating so fast he could barely think. "What am I doing here?" He began to argue with himself. "I have to tell him I'm…sorry" Kiba knocked at the blonde's door and waited for an answer.
