Gang Wars and Blossoming Love
Zabani-chan
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: yes, Haku is not part of the Mist. Remember when Naruto said that if they had been born in different world, then they could have been friends? Well, I wanted that to be true, so Haku is best friends with Naruto. And yes, Itachi is going to be in this story.
Ch.2
Sasuke groaned as he drug himself out of bed. He slowly went over to the bathroom and pulled out his toothbrush. He began to brush his teeth, and as he stared groggily at his reflection, he saw a sudden flash of blonde hair and blue eyes. He froze, his mind already replaying what he saw yesterday.
A yelling blond closely followed by a gang of rowdy boys, all looking as if they were ready for a fight. He groaned and rinsed his mouth as he thought of going to a school that had gangs.
"Hey! Hurry up in there!"
Sasuke was rudely jerked from his thoughts as his older brother knocked on the door.
"I'm done." He said, opening the door. Itachi stood there, towels in hand. Sasuke walked past him and opened his bedroom door before Itachi spoke.
"Doesn't school start in twenty minutes?" he asked. Sasuke froze before answering.
"Yes, but I go to the office first, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little late."
"If the principle is still the same one who was there when I went to school, he won't be lenient, especially the assistant principle." Itachi said, closing the bathroom door. Sasuke scrambled around his room, gathering all his school supplies and putting them in a school bag before quickly getting dressed in his new uniform. He grabbed his bag and ran into the hallway and past the bathroom and kitchen before he was jerked to a stop. He looked over his shoulder, and Itachi stared at the brother's glare unflinchingly.
"Where do you think you are going, Sasuke?" he asked calmly.
"To school! Now let me go, nii-san!" he yelled, struggling to get away. Itachi dragged him into the kitchen, hardly aware of his struggles. He sat him in a chair and put eggs, toast, and cereal along with milk in front of him.
"You eat first. I'll drive you to school." Itachi walked out to his car, starting it up. He leaned against his door and sighed, glaring into space.
'I just hope he isn't here. He hates Uchiha's, so who know what he would do if he saw one.' He thought, thinking back to their old home, where he met the boy for the first time.
"Just so you know…I hate Uchiha's because of what they did to my parent's. I won't ever forgive any Uchiha."
The hatred in his voice still rung in his ears. He hoped Sasuke could get along with him since he knew nothing of Itachi's gang, which was formally their father's. His little brother had grown up innocent, living a normal life…but Itachi still made him take martial arts classes. Needless to say, Sasuke became a black belt in no time.
"Come on, nii-san! This is no time to space out! I'll be late for school!" Sasuke shouted, bringing Itachi out of his doze. He opened his door, and got in.
"Right. Get in."
"Sasuke nodded and got in the passenger.
Itachi pulled to a stop at the school gates, and grabbed Sasuke's arm as he started to get out. He looked at him, and Itachi gave him a worried look.
"What is it, nii-san?" Sasuke asked.
"Look. Be careful at this school, Sasuke. There may be someone here I used to know that goes here."
"And why is that a problem?"
"Because he hates Uchiha's." Itachi stated. Sasuke was silent for a minute before smirking.
"Nice joke, nii-san, but he'd have to be around your age."
"He's your age." Itachi stated bluntly. Sasuke stared at him as if trying to see if he was lying. He finally grunted and shook his arms loose, getting fully out of the car.
"I'll keep an eyes out." He said before shutting the door and running in the courtyard.
Blue eyes followed his form, narrowing as he realized it was the new student. Kiba caught his look and nudged him. Naruto jerked and looked at him, turning away from the window. He looked at Kiba.
"What?"
He asked. Kiba glared.
"Will you please quite daydreaming and keep your mind on the notes?!" he hissed, "You know how Kakashi-sensei is if you fail a test!"
"Yeah, I know. Sorry." He sighed. He glanced out the window, and not seeing any car or the new student, he turned away only to be hit by an eraser. He growled and threw it back.
"Why'd you do that?!" he demanded. Kakashi smiled.
"Go to the office and talk to Ibiki about detention. Come back afterwards." He said calmly.
"What?! Detention?!" Naruto yelped.
"Next time maybe you'll pay attention. Now go." He firmly said, pointing towards the door. Naruto huffed and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Sasuke took a deep breath, and let it out as he reached the office. He opened the door and walked in, hearing yelling and arguing as he closed it behind him. The receptionist smiled at him, and he nervously smiled back, the yelling getting more coarse. She noticed and smiled even more brightly.
"Don't worry about it. This happens a lot between those two." She said calmly. He nodded.
"I'm the new student here." He said. She blinked.
"Ah, yes. You must be Sasuke Uchiha. Hold on one second." She said, typing his name into the computer. She clicked a few things, and his schedule started printing. She handed to him just as the door slammed open.
"Screw you, baa-chan!" a blonde yelled.
"This is for your own good! Maybe next time you'll learn to pay attention in class!"
"So I zoned out?! Who cares?!"
"I, for one, do! As does Kakashi and Iruka..!"
"Don't you dare bring Iruka-sensei into this! He's the only one who treats me with respect! I'm only in this school because of him!" with that, the blonde slammed the door shut and stalked towards them.
"Ah! Naruto, can you do something for?" the receptionist asked. The blonde turned to them, and Sasuke got a full view of him. His hair was pure golden color and looked as if he had constant bed-head, his bangs partially covering his eyes, which were a deep shade of blue, looking at though if you stared into them too long, you'd be sucked in. He wore the standard uniform, but instead of normal gray cuffs, sipper/collar lining, and inseam, they were orange. (A/N: for a better description, go to Google images, type in Japanese school uniforms. Page two for male uniform – forth row down, last one. Female – page one, second row, third one over.)
The blue eyes that were locked with his looked at the receptionist.
"Yeah, sure. What is it?" his voice was rough sounding, with a small hint of child-like innocence.
"Can you please escort Uchiha-san to his 1st period class?"
Naruto froze, eyes widening slightly as they darted back to him, though they quickly narrowed. He straightened and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"Sure. Come on." He headed fro the door, but stopped when the receptionist called him.
"Naruto-kun, what did Ibiki-san and Tsunade-san say?"
Naruto sighed.
"Nothing much, Shizune-neechan. I have detention for a week with Ibiki, and obaa-chan was just lecturing me again. You heard most of it when I walked out. See ya." He gave a backward wave and walked out, Sasuke following closely.
'Is this the guy nii-chan was warning me about? And does he even know where my 1st period is?' his thoughts ended as he ran into Naruto's solid back. He realized with a start that he was at least a head shorter than Naruto, and said person was lean and muscular. He backed up as Naruto turned around. The fierce glare on his face startled Sasuke.
"Look, Uchiha. I'm sure you know why I hate your family, so I'm not repeating anything, but I am going to say this. Stay away from me, don't talk to me unless it's absolutely necessary." He paused, "Let me see you schedule."
Sasuke handed it over, his mind reeling.
'This is the guy nii-chan was talking about! If so, I'd better tell him when I get home. And what does he mean I know why he hates my family?! I honestly don't know anything…'
"Hey! Uchiha!" Naruto yelled, snapping his fingers.
Sasuke jolted, staring at Naruto with wide eyes.
"Yeah?"
"We have all the same classes, so if you want directions, ask one of my friends. They'll be with us in every class, too." Naruto said, handing his schedule back and walking off. Sasuke stood there for a minute, letting everything sink in, before following.
