Chapter 1 is up!
Sorry it took so long, but I had finals and didn't really have the time to do any writing.

Summary: Attending a prestigious school for the rich isn't easy. Certainly when you've got no wealth, at all. And being kicked out of most schools you've ever attended certainly didn't add things up. Now Naruto has to attend Konoha Private High, and find out just how to survive even a day. Because getting in a fight with the most popular boy on school was not the smartest thing he could've done. And now he would have to face the consequences of those actions.
The worst part of it all? His past is catching up with him.

Pairings: undecided.

But don't go spitting bull over reviews or private messages, 'cause I warned you. I will say it again if it still hasn't sunk into your thick skull that this is going to be a Yaoi.

The start of something new

Chapter 1


"So," the voice of the headmistress crooned sweetly once the door was shut behind them and the two boys took a seat in front of the mahogany desk. "Why don't you two boys start with telling me what happened there, hm?" The sugarcoated words did nothing for his nerves as Naruto sat in his chair, feet tapping silently up and down in what one would call a nervous habit. Tsunade's smile stretched further across her face, the creases around her eyes tightening in annoyance as she took her seat in the large leather desk-chair behind her desk.

Naruto glanced to his right slightly, trying to see if duck-butt looked as nervous as he felt. He was sorely disappointed (and a little angry) to find the smug bastard sitting with one leg crossed over the other and his head propped up on his fist, an almost bored expression on his face. A cool grace surrounded him, looking like he wasn't bothered by the situation (or the mad-woman) at all. Fucking bastard.

"Well?" Tsunade asked sharply, a warning glare in her eyes.

"He started it!" Naruto said loudly, pointing at the other boy next to him.
One delicate eyebrow shot up at the accusation of the blond, sharp onyx eyes narrowed at the other slightly. Looking like a hawk setting his gaze on its prey. "Hn. I wasn't the one who started throwing punches, baka."

"Why you-!" Naruto started to get out of his chair, Sasuke doing the same. Both intent to strangle the other when they were suddenly halted by a loud bang. Simultaneously looked at the source of the noise, they both froze in fear.

"Sit. Down."

As one they both plopped down in their seats, not daring to move a muscle.

"Good," Tsunade raised her balled fist off of the wooden desk, showing a crack in the once polished wood which wasn't there at first. Papers were scattered across the floor and a picture frame had fallen off its place on the wall. Naruto stared wide-eyed at the damage done by this woman. Damn, he thought looking at the deep crack in the once finely-polished wood, that woman sure is scary.

"Now, Mr. Uchiha," Sasuke looked at her, brows furrowed and looking for the world an emo duck-butt again. Seriously, that guy will get permanent frown lines if he isn't careful. Always frowning like that can't be good for one's health. "You'll get away with a warning this time since this is the first time it happened with you, but don't make it happen again or I would have to inform your parents." Duck-butt's eyes widened slightly at the threat and looked almost- dare he say it? Scared. "Now hurry up to your next class, you're already late." She waved a dismissive hand, telling duck-butt to get-the-hell-out-of-her-office. Sasuke nodded and turned towards the door. Naruto watched him go as the taller boy closed the door, catching a glimpse of the other boys victorious smirk. Naruto glared heatedly at the already closed door, feeling the receded anger bubbling up again. Oh, he wanted to punch something now, preferably a certain duck-butts face.

"Mr. Uzumaki," Damn, here it comes. He'll get expelled. And he didn't even had his first lesson here. Wow, a new record! Expelled in the first twenty minutes he was here. That must be a world record. Oh well, it wasn't like he wanted to be here in the first place. Hm.. maybe he can just quit school altogether? I mean, it wasn't like he would ever stay somewhere long enough to graduate anyway. He could find a job, oh! maybe as a street artist? and manage for himself? Hm.. but that leaves the problem of him still being underage to be allowed to live on his own… His thoughts were interrupted once Tsunade started to speak again, this time a thick folder in her hands. Papers were piling out of the brown map, several elastics bound around the brown cover to try and hold it together. Naruto dreaded it was about him.

"You've been expelled more times than one can count on both hands," a slight blush tinted his scarred cheeks, his hand came up to rub the back of his neck. He felt slightly sheepish hearing it from the woman in such a deadpan voice. But it wasn't like it was his fault or anything! Well okay, maybe it was a little... Tsunade continued to thumb through the papers, not looking at the boy in front of her. "A stink bomb thrown in the locker rooms of the gymnasium, starting a mass food fight in the cafeteria," Naruto snickered slightly as he remembered that day, trying to cover it up with a cough at the glare he received from the headmistress sitting behind her desk. Tsunade stopped shuffling the papers on a certain page, looking up at the blond shifting nervously in his seat. "And my personal favorite," she took the map on the open page, pictures clipped to it showing the halls and classrooms of a school, and dropped it in front of the blond for him to see. "covering the entire school in bubble wrap."

That prank was one of his most complicated ones yet. It had taken weeks of preparation before he was even a little bit confident that he could pull it off. He had to gather all the supplies and make sure he did it at the right moment. Getting so much bubble wrap sure as hell isn't easy and he had to make sneak it inside the school too. It was fortunate for him there was a basement which was almost never used. Over the course of a few weeks he sneaked the bubble wrap and other necessities inside and hid it all in the basement. After a few weeks the basement was filled with rolls upon rolls of bubble wrap and Naruto was finally confidant enough to set his plan in motion. So on a Sunday evening when the janitor left the school premises Naruto sneaked in. Of course it wasn't as easy as it sounds. What did you expect? That a school wouldn't have any security measures? But luckily, or unluckily (it depends on your perspective), Naruto knew how to deactivate the security system.

And so he had wrapped the school up in bubble wrap for the next couple of hours. It was nearing dawn when he was finally done and he quickly grabbed his things, hid them in the basement for now and reactivated the security system and got the hell out of there. The janitors and teachers would be arriving soon, and closely behind them the students. So he had to race back to the orphanage and clean up so the caretakers won't get suspicious that he was gone the whole night.

A shower and a quick breakfast with the rest of the orphans later, Naruto had headed back to school and was greeted with the sight teachers in a panic and students taking pictures with their phones, gossiping among each other.

It was so worth it, even if he had to clean it all up afterwards.

Tsunade gave him a scrutinizing look, leaning back in her leather chair. "You have spunk kid, I'll give you that." Naruto just looked confused and Tsunade resisted the urge to sigh. "Iruka convinced the board to give you a chance Uzumaki," She shut the thick manila and entwined her fingers together, resting her elbows on the arms of her chair and resting her chin in her hands. "You should be happy to have gotten this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many would kill to be in your position, and it's only because of Iruka that you have gotten this chance." Naruto glared stubbornly at the wall to his left, avoiding any and all eye-contact with the stern woman before him. Ugh. He didn't need another preach thank you very much.

Tsunade didn't suppress a sigh this time, shaking her head at the stubborn blond. "Don't disappoint me Naruto."

"Uh.." he sat, dumbly staring at the woman in front of him. That wasn't what he expected to be hearing. He had thought for certain he would be sent away.

A tick formed over Tsunade's eyebrow because of the other blonds blatant staring. "Now go to your first lesson already."

"Um, I still don't have my schedule…" Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose and pressed a button on what looked like some sort of intercom machine. A moment later a voice was heard through the speaker of the machine, a female. "What can I do for you Tsunade-sama?"

"Shizune, bring me Naruto Uzumaki's schedule please." She said to the voice (Shizune).

"I'll be there in a sec. Tsunade-sama." And then there was an awkward silence in the office. Naruto tapped the heel of his foot to the floor, his knee bopping up and down. He is agitated. Naruto always had difficulty sitting and doing nothing. Wringing his hands Naruto looked around the office. It was spacey, one big mahogany desk with a leather office chair where Tsunade is currently seated. Two chairs were placed in front of the desk, one of which Naruto is currently seated in. On the right wall of Naruto were two big windows covering almost the entire wall from floor to ceiling. A closet stood against the wall behind Tsunade, various papers, boxes and manilas seated inside it. on the left wall to Naruto stood a low couch situated and a small coffee table. But what caught his attention the most were the five picture frames hanging above the couch.

One of the pictures was of Tsunade, the one on the far right side to the wall. The other four were all of men, the pictures getting older looking by the time they reached the far left side of the wall. They were probably the previous headmasters Naruto thought looking at each one of them. His gaze remained on the fourth one though, his eyes narrowed in thought it was as if there was something familiar about that man…

Just then the door to the office opened and a woman stepped inside holding some papers in her hand.

"Here are the papers you requested Tsunade-sama," Shizune bowed at the headmistress before turning towards Naruto, giving him a slight smile. "You must be Naruto-kun, a pleasure to meet you. I'm Shizune, Tsunade's assistant and secretary." She shook his hand and handed him a few papers. "That's your schedule if there is something not to your liking you can take it to me and I'll look at what I can do for you, but for now you'll have to do with it. I've also put a map of the school with it for you, so you can at least find your way through these halls and know where you have to go for your next lesson." She explained, pointing at the papers. "If you have any further questions you can always ask me, I'll be at the reception desk here," she pointed at a place on the ground floor of the building. "Or I'll be outside Tsunade's office and when it's lunchtime you'll find me most likely in the teachers' lounge." Naruto nodded, smiling slightly at her. "Thanks Madam,"

"Oh, just call me Shizune. Madam sounds so old."

Naruto just grinned at her.

"Now get out of my office before I change my mind about giving you a chance." Naruto bowed slightly and walked up to the door. As he stood in front of it he turned back around and gave the headmistress a bright smile. "Thanks bāchan!" And he was out the door in under a second.

Tsunade sat stunned for a moment, staring at the place the blond stood only seconds ago. Her eyebrow started to twitch violently as she threw a paperweight at the door.

"GAKI!" You could hear the yell down the halls and more than one student felt a shiver go down their spine.

Though as she calmed down, Tsunade couldn't fight off the smile which started to form. The kid has guts, she admitted to herself. She glanced up at the wall towards her right where five picture frames hung on the wall. Staring at one in particular, she held up Naruto's picture next to one of a blond man grinning the same grin. She shook her head and rubbed her temples. She could feel a giant headache coming up, as she was certain that this year would be fairly interesting. She needed a drink and she needed it now.

"He looks just like him," Shizune said softly looking at the same picture Tsunade had been looking at only seconds ago. Tsunade leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, making a small noncommittal sound.

-o0o-TheStartOfSomethingNew-o0o-

Cackling with unrestrained glee, Naruto gained some mildly disturbed looks from his fellow students as he passed them in the mostly deserted hallways. It must've looked like he was a little knocked up in the head. After all which sane person cackles in the middle of a hallway all by himself? Oh well, he was called a lot worse than a little crazy.

"Hm.. let's see, where to go, where to go.." he mumbled to himself as he looked at his timetable. First period today was free, and second period is almost done by now, no use going to algebra right now. Oh well! Naruto thought, grinning. Third period is biology from someone called Orochimaru. Looking at his wristwatch, there were still ten minutes until the bell rings. Shrugging, Naruto took out his map of the school and went in search of the biology classrooms.

He found that they were situated on the upper levels of the main building. Only 2 stairs up and then find Orochimaru's room. at least he has the time to find it.

As he trudged up the stairs he took out his ear buds and put on some music. All for nothing from Kensington started to play and Naruto nodded his head to the beat. Looking at his watch he saw it was only two minutes 'till the bell and ascended the last stairs just as the bell rang. Quickly stuffing his phone and ear buds in his bag. The halls were starting to flood again with students, but this time there was no fight going on to hold them up. Pushing his way through the mass of people he finally came across classroom 3.02 where his biology lesson was supposed to be held.

Heaving a sigh Naruto squared his shoulders slightly and put on a wide grin. Knocking on the door he grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. Groups of students were situated in the classroom, talking and joking amongst themselves. The teacher obviously wasn't there yet so Naruto decided to look around the room.

Long and high tables stood in rows of four by six. Two stools per table. Each had their own sink and gas burner. Posters hung around the room about the human anatomy and other stuff. There were even stuffed animals, Naruto noted a little creeped out.

The desk of the teacher was situated in the middle in front of the class. It was elongated with its own sink and burner, so that if the teacher had to show them something he could do it at his own desk in front of the whole class.

A couple students noticed him standing and nudged the ones next to them, pointing and whispering. Naruto just grinned wider, teeth showing.

"Hey is he not.."

"-was fighting.."

"No way!"

"-new guy, thinks he's.."

"- looks like an idiot.."

"-first day, already in trouble.."

"-Sasuke Uchiha."

They continued like that as more students trickled inside. Suddenly it was very silent, Naruto blinked turning back towards the door where everyone else was looking at. The false grin immediately slipped off his face, replaced by a blank look and slightly narrowed eyes.

Onyx met sapphire and all the students in the classroom could practically feel the tension in the air. Naruto only got angrier as the seconds ticked by while Sasuke's smirk only seemed to grow.

"Hn," Naruto would've never thought a single syllable could sound so mocking. The bastard probably practiced before his mirror, glaring at it to see which glare looked the scariest. Naruto snickered internally in his mind, conjuring up an image of the ravenette standing in a bathroom trying out different faces. "I thought you would've been expelled, dobe."

Naruto glared at the other, jerked from his amusing thoughts. "Yeah, well think again duck-butt."

Sasuke's smug smirk smoothed over in an angry glare, "What did you call me scar-face?"
Naruto's hand shot up to one of his cheeks where three horizontal lines stood stark against his bronze skin.

He opened his mouth to retort something but was cut off by the slamming of a door and a sinister voice saying, "Settle down, class."

Everyone scurried towards their place, well everyone except for a particular blond of course.
Sasuke shoved passed him, bumping their shoulders on the way. Naruto glared at the back of his head, hoping (not for the first time) that the taller boy would just drop dead. And hey! Maybe the world would be a better place without the arrogant prick?

He was brought back from his thoughts by an clearing of a throat behind him. Turning around Naruto had to crane his neck up to look at the persons face. Damn! Why did everyone had to be taller than him!? Most girls were taller than him and that didn't really do any good for his masculinity.

"You're probably the new student I've been told about?" The man questioned, looking down at Naruto with a look that was difficult to place. Naruto opened his mouth to answer but was cut off as the man spoke again, not waiting for an affirmation from the blond. "Naruto Uzumaki, correct?"
Nodding, the blond waited for the man to speak again. The teacher was pale, extremely so. Waist-length black hair with the front strands falling to his shoulders. He had a long face with pronounced cheekbones. The eyes were the most disturbing part of the whole picture. Amber colored eyes with what looked like a little yellow mixed within, making it look almost gold. Purple markings were painted around his eyes, giving off the characteristics of a snake.

Naruto almost expected him to start hissing at him or something.

Golden eyes glanced around the classroom, most likely looking for an empty spot for him to sit at.

"You can sit in the empty seat next to Miss. Hyuuga. Hyuuga, would you be so kind as to show Uzumaki what we were doing these last couple of lessons."

A softly stammered yes was his response and Naruto knew that he was dismissed. Walking towards the back of the class where a girl was holding her hand up slightly, indicating to him that she was 'miss Hyuuga'.

Plopping down his back next to his stool he smiled as he turned towards his biology partner for the upcoming weeks.

"Hi! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet ya!" He whispered loudly, trying not to disturb the creepy teacher in his lecture.

"H-Hinata H-Hyuuga," she stammered softly, holding her hands in front of her, ticking her pointer fingers against each other in what Naruto could only assume in being a nervous habit.

Naruto could feel eyes on him. Turning his head to scan over the many faces inside the classroom, he spotted a brunet with what looked like tattoos on his cheeks glaring daggers at him. Raising an eyebrow, Naruto wondered what he had done to earn such a volatile response from a total stranger.

Naruto sighed internally. Turning back to the front of the class where Orochimaru continued to talk about one thing or the other, not really hearing anything.

This would be a long lesson.

-o0o-TheStartOfSomethingNew-o0o-

It was finally lunch time, Naruto thought with a sigh of relief. He thought that lesson had no end to it, and he still had half a day to fill. Ugh. He just wanted to lay down on his bed and sleep the day away. Preferably never waking up again, that would be nice.

Trudging down the busy stairs, he decided to just follow the rest of the students. They were most likely heading towards the cafeteria anyway.

Finally arriving at the cafeteria, he was met with loud chatter and laughter all around the place. Resignedly he stepped in the line for his food. After paying for the expensive lunch (seriously $4 for a sandwich. A sandwich! Damn rich school, expecting him to have the extra money.)he stood there awkwardly, looking for a place to sit. Sighing as he saw no space he turned around, deciding to eat his lunch outside. Well at least it has stopped raining, he thought optimistically. It didn't really help, sadly.

But, luck really wasn't on his side today. Because as he turned around he bumped into someone, his lunch spilling on his clothes. Damn, there goes his money. He really wanted to cry right now…

"Watch where you're going! Idiot!" A high-pitched screech was yelled right by his ear. Naruto cringed slightly, rubbing his ear slightly. Damn, that hurt.

A girl who was (annoyingly) taller than him was glaring at him, flanked by two other girls (who were unsurprisingly also taller than him. Fuck his height, ugh!) The girl who had screeched at him had obnoxious bright pink hair, which hurt his eyes just looking at it. It was just too damn bright!

The girl on her left had long bleached blond hair tied in a ponytail, which went to the small of her back. The girl on her right has bright red hair, spiked on the right side and flat on the left making it look wind-swept. She was also the only one wearing glasses of the three.

Weirdly enough he was reminded of the movie mean-girls. But after thinking about it he wasn't really surprised. It's like every school has their own group of popular girls and boys who made life difficult for the lesser students. Typical, really.

"You're lucky my clothes and make-up aren't ruined, idiot." She all but growled at the blond, sniffing haughtily.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, looking unimpressed. "Yes, very lucky." Waving a hand he continued on his way, walking around the group of three. Feeling eyes on him, he turned around and caught Sasuke looking. Glaring at him, he stormed out the door to the cafeteria.

Coming to a stop in the middle of the hallway, he grabbed his stomach as it grumbled loudly. Damn it, he was so hungry!

Sighing he walked up the stairs, not really knowing where he was going. Eventually he came by a stairs which probably let to the roof of the building. Shrugging he ascended the steps and pushed open the metal door.

Fresh air blew in his face, his hair sweeping from side to side. Walking to the edge of the roof he leaned on the railing, looking over the school grounds. Puddles still littered the ground, but it has stopped raining at least. The sky was already starting to clear, a few clouds still hanging overhead.

Taking a deep breath he felt himself starting to relax. Today was stressing, and unfortunately the bell would sound very soon indicating that the classes were starting again. But for now he could let his thoughts drift and enjoy the scenery in front of him.

Unfortunately the door creaked open behind him, making him jump slightly.

Turning around, his heart thumping loudly in his chest he came eye to eye with the new stranger.

"Uh..."

Sea foam green eyes regarded him silently.


That's it for chapter 1
