A/N: As usual, I do not own Naruto -- because I have many a thing in mind for such ninja's and if I did own them, then I'd probably be the only one watching -' It'd be worth it.


According to season: Chapter 1

The crisp autumn air blew the small variety of different fauna and flora that populated the small park in the center of Konoha.

It was a cool day, with fresh subtle breezes pushing and pulling the dry, mahogany leaves from their reaching branches and letting them fall gracefully to the ground.

The gravel path that curved with the trees in the middle of the park was barely visible under the layer of crushed, red and brown, leaves that covered the floor around the roots of the tall, wooden stumps.

The leaves crunched quietly under the patient and unrushed feet of the lone

person walking on the narrow trail. He shifted the small pack that was slung casually over the broad area of his left shoulder and let out an over exaggerated sigh when he looked at his watch for the third time that morning.

He knew he was going to be late if he continued at his current speed.

Running a hand through his golden hair stressfully, he checked his watch once more, hoping that time had somehow jumped back, before pushing himself into a light jog towards his destination.

He halted in front of a large, brick building. His forehead glistened slightly from sweat and his breathing was more rapid than usual as he looked up at the enormous eyesore that was his new daily source of education.

The building was shaped like a "C", he examined. Three story's high with small crossed windows shining in the morning sun. Two tall chestnut doors stood as the only form of entrance into the structure, giving it a welcoming vibe. You could see inside its walls through the clean, clear windows that were plastered through its wood.

The boy wiped his forehead on the end of his white, short-sleeved blouse and, without any more delays, Uzumaki Naruto pushed open the doors of Central Konoha High School.

Once inside, Naruto wasted no effort looking around the empty corridors. Instead, he continued staring blankly at his sneakers, listening to them steadily echo through the long, empty halls. He had memorized the school map the night before, to avoid any confusion on his first day, so he had a basic understanding where the front office was.

Unfortunately the general knowledge of his whereabouts inside the school was dismissed when he found himself facing a wall on the opposite side of the school.

Cursing silently under his breath, Naruto dropped his bag on the ground stubbornly and began searching through its contents for his map in an impatient manner.

He pushed his various folders and books around inside his bag for a minute or two before he suddenly stopped.

A shiver curved itself up his spine and entangled its way up his neck. He felt like a cold breeze had pushed itself through his skin and down into the core of each of his bones. Naruto had the paranoid feeling of being watched but he couldn't obtain the amount of confidence it took to turn around and search.

He was frozen where he stood.

His heartbeat began increasing again, much as it had when he was jogging, as he felt someone standing behind him.

The presence this person held was a cold one and Naruto involuntarily shivered as he felt them close the already short distance between them.

Without so much as a warning, he felt cool, even breathing on the right side of his neck, just above his collarbone. Lips gently touched his skin and he felt the need to run but found he was unable to control his legs. He remained plastered in his spot as the character ran his cold, soft lips up his neck, towards his jaw line, leaving a trail of goose bumps in it's midst's.

Naruto's breathing had become shallow and well audible and this was tormented even more when a deep, serene chuckle emerged from the lips of the anonymous person. Strangely, after hearing the sound rise from the person's throat, he calmed. He felt at ease and no longer felt the need to run or to move away. It was the more mesmerizing sound he had ever heard.

Naruto blinked his deep azure eyes, realizing he had not given his eyes any moisture since he had stopped searching his school bag. The new feeling of calamity came with it a sense of courage, which made it capable for him to turn his eyes to the side slowly to steal a glance of the rather forward intruder.

"Are you…lost?" The being breathed quietly in his ear.

This sudden break of silence frightened Naruto slightly but it finally gave him the nerve to turn around completely to face the person. Sadly adrenalin got priority over his common sense and he forgot about his surroundings, which caused him to take a rather nasty fall over his bag, which he had left just below his feet.

He hit the cold, concrete ground with enough force to make his eyes shut on the impact. When he opened them, only seconds after landing on the floor, the figure was gone, the cold presence had disappeared and his sense of normalcy returned. He turned his head back and forth frantically in search of some form of life around him but he found nothing.

Naruto sighed heavily, deep in thought about the stranger who had managed to traumatize him so. Grabbing his bag and walking forward he finally glanced at his surroundings.

This choice caused his the drop his shoulders in disbelief when he realized he was facing the front office, and had been this whole time.
