Ch. 2

First Day

"Hn…?"

"Dobe."

"Te…me…"

"Get your ass up Dobe," Sasuke said kicking the bed making a bundle of sheets jump and fall to the floor with Naruto's head hitting the floor with his legs still on the bed, "I've got fencing tryouts today."

"Ungh….what time is it?" Naruto asked.

"6:30," Sasuke told him.

Naruto jumped up with a horrified look on his face. "CRAP! I have to be at the school in 15 minutes," with that Naruto ran to his closet and changed faster than Sasuke could blink. He popped out of the closet in black pants and a white and black checkered shirt with an abomination of an orange and black jacket that oddly worked with the outfit. He even had his black socks and black tennis shoes on. Sasuke didn't even blink as he held up a bento that contained Naruto's lunch.

Naruto zipped past him only pausing to select a packet of pop tarts and grab his book bag and instrument before zipping out the door. Sauske shook his head and grabbed his own book bag and fencing helmet and followed Naruto. The building didn't open until 6:40 anyway, and the school was a five minute walk, two minute run, away.

Sauske arrived to find Naruto pulling on the door and going on and on about how late he was going to be. The school yard was deserted, classes started at eight, and tryouts for the teams that didn't already have them started at 7. "Dobe the doors will open in five minutes, stop freaking the fuck out."

"Teme, I will not! This is Tauyua we're talking about, the esteemed protégé of Orochimaru! I will not be late to my first time meeting her!"

"Hn. She's just a teacher Dobe."

"Just a teacher? JUST A TEACHER?! Teme, Teme, Teme, you really aren't seeing the big picture! Orochimaru is a legend. She is the best student of the legend making her a legend. If I can't learn from the legend itself then she's the next best thing and to make a bad impression could ruin me!"

Sauske sighed, "So you still want to become a professional musician?"

"Duh, I'm not really good at anything else." The door clicked open, and Naruto pulled the door open and sprinted to the band room, only to find it locked. "Oh, Come on!"

"Hn," Sauske grunted as he stood behind him, "I'm gonna go find the fencing room."

"Good luck Teme," Naruto said as he continued to fight with the door.

As soon as Sasuke left Naruto began knocking on the door rapid fire.

"Let me in! Let me in! Let me in! Let me in! Oh wait! Is that a back door?" he said looking through the small window in the door. Sure enough on the other side of the room was a door that most likely led to outside (or was an instrument storage place, held Guard equipment, was an office but his money was on outside). With that plan in mind he dashed down the halls turning many corners until he crashed into many a people with his instrument hitting many of them in the head.

"'Xcuse me! Pardon me! Hot stuff! Come'n through!" he yelled until he was pushed down. It was then that he was on the ground looking up at someone who could rival Sasuke in a glare match (at that was usually limited to another Uchiha). He was tall (at least from the ground view) and had pale skin, long hair that reminded him of someone he'd rather not think about and the freakiest grey eyes that had no pupil. Naruto wondered for a moment if he was blind. But looking at his clothes he decided no. How would you play football if you were blind?

"Eh heh heh, sorry dude," he said getting back on his feet. The guy just glared. Naruto gave a scowl that looked more like a playful pout, "Fine be that way."

"And this gentlemen, is why band nerds are always found at the bottom of the food chain," he said as Naruto picked up his instrument case. He froze for a second before looking at the guy again.

"Take that back," he growled. The boy cocked his brow.

"There is no reason to take back a fact," he retorted. Naruto gave a low growl, one that another person would say was inhuman and others would agree.

"Dobe what are you doing?"

Naruto stopped and turned on the ball of his foot to see Sasuke standing casually with a look of slight annoyance that Naruto recognized as his own special brand of amusement.

"Just meeting some of the wild life Teme," he said just as casually. The long haired boy's glare grew even stronger. Sasuke glared back at him. An undeclared rivalry had been sparked. The other members of the football team could feel it with the ominous temperature drop, "Speaking of, why aren't you fencing someone's ass off?"

"It's more of a meet. No real challenges today Dobe. And are you lost? Even though I showed you where the room was?"

"Psh! No way. Was looking for a back door. Then I ran into Lord of the Jerks here and-"

"You better watch what you say!" the long haired boy growled. Naruto held a look of indifference.

"-all things went to heck-"

"THERE YOU ARE!"

Everyone jumped at a loud rough girl's voice. Storming down the hall came someone who made a majority of the football team back up. She had short cropped black hair, an all-black outfit and the nastiest look on her face that seemed to promise death to anyone who dared cross her either in a dark alley or even in school.

"You Naruto?" she demanded jabbing a finger at him. Naruto nodded taken aback by this girl that seemed to show up out of nowhere. "Names Etsuko. Now get up off the floor we have to get your uniform fitted, and you," she said spinning around and now pointing at Neji who was a full head taller than her, "stop messing with my band members! Getting to state is hard enough without you hurting us on the home front as well!"

"Anyone can walk around a field. Why don't you just keep your head down like a good little nerd you are? Fate has already determined your worthlessness."

"Well I guess fate has also predetermined you to be a jerk," she reached down and helped Naruto up before turning on her heel and leading Naruto back to the band room. Sasuke glared at Neji after Naruto and Etsuko had left.

"I don't like you. If you do anything to my brother you'll never walk on the field again."

"Fate is in my favor freshman," he said walking away with the football team following.

Meanwhile Etsuko was measuring our favorite hyper-active knuckleheaded blond teen. "You're gonna be tough to fit with those shoulders. Just be glad you don't have hips, we'd have to give you a larger uniform."

"Great… why are there so many holes in the uniform?" he asked as he attempted to figure out which of the many holes was for his head.

"School won't pay for shit if it ain't for pads, helmets or football lines. Lord knows Sensei has been trying to rip the school a new one since her old teacher mocked our… well our everything."

"What do you mean?"

She walked away from Naruto and opened a random case. The case fell apart and a rather foul smelling trumpet bounced on the floor already covered in dents. The fall though may have actually removed a few…

"That answer your question Saxy?"

His eyes narrowed.

"My names Naruto. And Saxy? That sounds like-"

"You're right. Huh. We'll think of something sax-o-frass," she said walking to grab a tape measure.

"Uh…"

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the school.

"Yosh! I can't believe it! This campus is very much youthful!" A bowl-haircut-ed sophomore announced as he ran to the doors.

"Lee keep your voice down, and keep the 'y' words to a minimum," a girl with long brunette hair said as she followed him to the door.

"But it's just so-"

"Lee," she stated flatly with a glare, "'Y' words to a minimum."

Lee lost his grin, "Aww but most y-

"What did I just say?!" she yelled.

"Tenten-san," he whined.

"No buts. It would not do to be found out now would it?" she said as she entered the school.

"No it would not," Lee stated following her.

Tenten pulled out a notebook and opened it. "How many meets do you have again this year?"

"9. I can't lose too many or I lose my scholarship," Lee reminded her as she started to scribble in her note pad.

"Can you get me the schools you'll be competing against?"

"Of course Tenten! If I cannot I will do 500 laps around the school!"

"Another thing, knock off with the 500 laps thing."

"But-but Tenten-"

"Lee do I need to remind you of the little girl in the park situation?" Lee's eyes grew big and he shook his head violently. "Didn't think so," she smiled smugly.

And elsewhere still…

"Wake up Shikamaru. As much as I don't mind being your pack mule to school, we have different classes," A large boy with long messy brown hair stated as he ate from eating a chocolate muffin. On his back was two backpacks and a really tall and asleep tall teen with long black hair. He groaned before he was "gracefully" dropped on the ground.

"What a drag," the boy on the floor groaned, "School is such a troublesome place. Chouji… can't I go home?"

Chouji rolled his eyes at the lazy teen's mannerisms.

"It's either you come to school or your mom home schools you."

Shikamaru shuddered and forced himself to sit up.

"Troublesome. Just too damn troublesome."

"C'mon Shika. It's not so bad not being homeschooled. You could join a club or… something," he said rubbing the back of his neck trying to think of something Shikamaru would like.

"Whatever," he said getting to his feet. He pulled his backpack off the floor with a groan, "Why are the bags always so damn heavy?"

"They're not heavy Shikamaru. You're just lazy."

"Same thing."

"Your laziness does not make the bag heavy."

"Weight is a number. Heaviness is perspective."

"Shikamaru. The bag… is not… heavy," Chouji said slowly to his friend, "And are you taking psychology?"

"Nah. Too troublesome."

Well damn my sister forced me to type this. She has Tasers to my back, little hell spawn gathering to create a bonfire, hellions of marching band members, a sword at my neck and holding my fanfictions for ransom… I'M GOING TO DIE! REVIEW… (I'm so dead T.T
