I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!
AN: I have read all the reviews and pm's. The winner is…SasuNaru/NaruSasu. But don't worry; it won't be easy for Sasuke to get Naruto back. Expect some major ass kicking, dance clubs and sexiness in the coming chapters. (I also might add some one-sided ItaNaru) Anyways! Here the next chapter! Enjoy!
The truth about Naruto's lineage spread throughout the school like wildfire .Everyone had heard about it, but many still didn't believe it. That is until Naruto slid by and they saw his new look and confidence. It was surprising to say the least. By lunch everyone had learned that it was the truth and moved out of the way as he walked by. He didn't even seem to notice it. He just stared straight ahead and walked next to his friend Kiba, who was enjoying this new found respect.
The cafeteria was alive with chatter. Everybody was sitting with their cliques. At Sasuke's table sat Sakura, Ino, Neji, Ten-Ten, Shikamaru, Choji and shy little Hinata. She didn't really want to be there but her father wanted her to be friends with the heirs to powerful companies. Sakura was shouting across the table.
"Is it true?"
Sasuke glared at her. "What?"
"Is Naruto really the Namikaze?"
Sasuke nodded. "Yeah."
The whole table went silent. They were busy remembering all the times they bullied the boy, or in Hinata's case watched. Dumping water on him, beating him up, eating his food, destroying his book, etc. Oh Kami, they were screwed. Still, Sakura couldn't help but be curious of Naruto's new look. "Where do you think he got those clothes?"
"He designed them. Apparently he is also the fashion designer Kyuubi." Sasuke informed them.
Sakura squealed. "Really? I love his clothes."
Neji interrupted her. "Don't forget, he hates us."
Everyone became depressed, except Shikamaru who looked contemplative. Ino spoke. "How are we going to tell our parents what happened?"
They all froze. How were they going to tell their parents? They couldn't just go and tell them that they treated the Namikaze heir like dirt, and made his life hell. For Sasuke it was even worse. He had broken the boy's heart and used him for his body.
Surprisingly Hinata spoke. "A-ano. Maybe we s-should try to be-befriend him f-f-first."
Neji looked at her sharply. "How do you suppose we do that?"
She sunk down a little but spoke none-the-less. "W-well I'm f-friends with Kiba. And h-he's N-Naruto's friend."
Shikamaru looked thoughtful. "That's true. She also hasn't done anything outright mean to him, so perhaps she could gain his friendship."
Sakura glared. "What about the rest of us!?"
"She can propose we sit together or hangout, and then we repair the damage we have done. As I remember Naruto always put others feelings before his own so he'll most likely allow us to sit together for Hinata's sake."
"That might work…"
They all agreed and then the room went silent. All ready figuring out the cause, they looked anyways. Naruto and Kiba were walking in. They took a glance around the room before heading towards Sasuke's table. Sasuke could feel his heart racing. Everyone must have heard it. When Naruto was halfway to his destination 2 boys stepped in front of him. Sasuke recognized them as people who used to beat Naruto up before. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Can I help you?"
The 2 guys smirked. "Just because you look different doesn't mean you can fight. We'll beat you into submission and make you hander over your company to us."
Sasuke felt his blood boil, but couldn't figure out why. He never actually loved Naruto…..did he? Naruto glared up at the 2 idiots. "I am warning you. I will not old back any longer."
"Feh." They shrugged.
The one on Naruto's left raised his fist to throw a punch while the other boy crossed his arms, expecting an easy win, He was wrong. The punch was thrown but Naruto caught it in one hand. The bully looked shocked and that gave Naruto an opening to punch him in the face. The bully was thrown back into several tables with a broken/bleeding nose, knocked unconscious. It seemed as if a truck had hit him! Naruto stood straight again and glared at the remaining bully. Said person was in shock for seeing his brother go down like that, but quickly became enraged.
"How dare you hurt Haru!?"
He charged at Naruto and threw a wild punch. Naruto merely leaned to the side to dodge it. The bully threw more and faster punches while Naruto effortlessly dodged. Seeing the lack of progress the bully tried to kick Naruto in the side. Bad move. Naruto brought his arm up to block and kicked him in the stomach. He spit out blood and flew back. Still, he got up and swore. "You bastard." Naruto glared at him with eyes full of malice. For the first time he felt fear. Sweat ran down the bully's neck as he froze in place. He couldn't look away, because he knew if he did something bad would happen. Alas, he blinked. Naruto moved. Naruto appeared in front of him and punched him. He was quickly knocked unconscious and entered dreamland. Naruto stood up again as the wind whipped his hair around. He stared at the two boys and in a cool melodic voice spoke.
"I told you I wasn't going to hold back anymore."
Kiba laughed at everyone's shocked faces and followed Naruto to their destination. Naruto was next to Sasuke's table, and Sasuke was about to say something, but Naruto swept past them without even a backwards glance. Sasuke frowned. He didn't expect that. Kiba and Naruto sat at the table behind theirs and chatted animatedly. Kiba was waving his arms in the air and Naruto was laughing at it. Whispers and chattering spread throughout the room, most likely about what they had just seen. Sasuke ignored the urge to talk to Naruto and simply ate his lunch. Well he did until Naruto stood in front of his table and stared at all of them.
Naruto really didn't want trouble with Haru and Hama, but they always started something with him. Today they did the same thing, even after Naruto had warned them! Idiots. Anyway, he kicked their asses (naturally) and sat down with Kiba. From there he listened to Kiba retell his near death experience in mud. Apparently he was trying to get across it to get to a beaver hut but fell in instead. It was stinky, limy and sucked him down chest deep. He had to use all of his strength to make it out. Naruto laughed when he started to flail around demonstrating what he was doing to get out of the mud. Naruto then opened up his ramen and took a bite.
"Hey Naruto."
Naruto looked up. "Yeah?"
"Do you mind if I ask you to invite somebody over to our table for me?"
"Me? Why?"
Kiba sighed. "Nobody can say 'no' to the Namikaze heir. Please~" Kiba put his hands together in a prayer motion.
Naruto couldn't really deny that. "Fine. Who do you want me to get?"
Kiba grinned. "Hinata. She's right over there." He pointed behind Naruto.
Naruto looked to where Kiba pointed and saw that she was sitting at the Uchiha's table. He turned back around and glared at Kiba. "You mean the table that I want nothing to do with?"
Kiba started to sweat. "Um, yes?"
Naruto stared at him a little longer before sighing. "Fine. I'll be right back." He got up and turned around.
"Thanks Naruto! You're the best!"
Naruto merely waved a hand. "Yeah, yeah."
He walked over, already dreading his decision, and stopped to stand next to Sasuke. He could feel the pain from being near the dark eyed raven. The betrayal was still fresh in his mind. He turned on his blank face and put his hands in his pockets. Sasuke looked at him, but Naruto didn't react. Instead he turned his gaze over to Hinata. She was poking her fingers together and hiding her face behind her bangs. I cant believe I'm doing this.
"Hello." Everyone looked shocked that he was there talking to them. This is so awkward. "I would like to ask Hinata a favor." Hinata? Was the collective thought of the group. Naruto looked at her. "Kiba would like for you to come sit with us, so he sent me to invite you. Would you come sit with us please?"
Hinata blushed from shyness. "Ano. A-are you sure i-its ok?"
Naruto nodded. "Yes. However, I understand if you wish to remain here with these…..people." He said it with such contempt that they all shivered at his voice.
"N-no! I'l; c-come sit w-with you guys."
Naruto smiled. "Right this way."
They left and sat down at Naruto's table. Kiba grinned at seeing Hinata and thanked Naruto, who just waved him off and went back to eating. They looked to be having fun talking and teasing the blushing Hinata. Sasuke felt a pang of pain when he saw that. Before he could dwell on it Shikamaru spoke.
"Well, it looks like Hinata has already succeeded in the first step of our plan."
AN: Ok. Chapter is done. This is going to be the length for this story now. I hope you guys don't mind. Review and Favorite please~
