Walking to his secluded area among the trees, Naruto placed his hand on his stomach as it growled violently in hunger, begging him to fill it with food. Out of the corner of his eye he could see other students walking out of the school building with hot meals to satisfy them for lunch. He only wished he could be one of them.

Glancing down in defeat at his tattered sneakers, he threw his backpack on the sodden earth and sat on top, using it as a makeshift seat with his back propped up on the tree behind him. His eyes began to close for a small rest bite and a sigh was released from his chapped lips as pressure was taken off his aching limbs.

His day so far had been terrible, two sets of chemistry coupled with two sets of maths; perhaps the gods where punishing him for a crime committed in a past life. Concentration within these lessons was near enough impossible as his mind kept wandering to a certain dark haired boy sitting at the front of his chemistry class. Naruto did not know his name. Had people acknowledged him, he would have gladly learned their names. However this was not the case and the only names he had logged into his memory were Sakura and Ino; due to their participation in class and their constant bickering and Kakashi Hatake his laid back, grey haired English teacher. Being a relatively new student always had its drawbacks.

Knowing the thought would irritate him until he discovered the name of the raven; he made a promise to himself to be more attentive toward the boy and the people who surrounded him. Coming to this conclusion confused Naruto greatly. Normally he did not socialize with other teenagers his age, or even people in general for that matter, however there was something about the boy who he had briefly made eye contact with. Granted, at first glance he appeared incredibly arrogant and carried around an air of perfection that demanded people notice him, yet Naruto found himself drawn to the boy. As jealous as he was, he knew it was not the dark haired boys fault for the hopeless situation he found himself in and even if the raven did not want to befriend him, Naruto had to at least talk to him, to quell his curiosity.

Slowly, Naruto started to drift into the safe confinements of sleep, deciding that the bell, to signal the end of lunch, would rouse him. He had almost entered a dream-like state when quite suddenly, out of nowhere, a shrill voice screamed;

"SASUKE!"

Crystal blue eyes jolted open and consequently his body jerked, sending red hot pain throughout his entire being. Silently cringing to himself and gritting his teeth in agony, he directed his gaze upward to find the red headed girl with glasses, shouting across the school campus. She appeared to be looking for someone; hence the calling of a name.

He watched her, bemused, as she walked back and forth between buildings, peering into them every once in a while, until he felt a presence behind him; to the left of his tree. Normally, he would shrug it off as students passing by with their friends to get across campus but this person didn't seem to be moving. Twisting his neck to take a glimpse at the student to his left, mild shock gradually transformed his features. There, crouching down beside the tree, hidden from the view of most of the students who had gathered outside school to socialize, was the raven haired boy. His form only inches behind Naruto's own.

Once again blue eyes met cool black. There was no expression on his flawless face that Naruto could see, but every few seconds his gaze would flicker to the red head, whom had just entered a school building, before once again returning and locking with Naruto's own. His short, black, slightly flicked, hair was gently swaying in the breeze and his white shirt was somewhat dotted with moisture from the drizzle that had begun to fall from the sky. No one spoke. No one moved. No one breathed. Until…

"What the hell are you doing?" Naruto growled, only slightly miffed that this perfect stranger had decided to invade his personal area and interrupt his peace.

The raven regarded Naruto silently before blinking at the blonde's small outburst.

"Hn." Was all the answer the dark haired boy gave whilst he shifted his posture and assumed the position Naruto had taken; his bag placed on the ground with him sitting on top, however instead of his back leaning against the tree it was his left shoulder.

After the raven had stopped moving and brought his gaze back to Naruto's face, the blonde clenched his fist, annoyed that he had been ignored; damn it, why couldn't he just be acknowledged for once!

"Hey! I was talking to you, Basta-mmmph!" Naruto growled once again, although this time, a pale hand clamped over his mouth slightly muffling the last parts of his sentence and stopping him from speaking.

"Be quite, Idiot." The raven hissed, slight irritation present in his voice. His endless black orbs glanced to the side at the red headed girl, who had just exited a building and resumed her search across campus. The trees in front managed to hide both boys from her view.

Naruto followed his gaze after he removed the cool hand from his mouth; he hated when people did that, it reminded him of how he was forced to stay silent whenever Mizuki became violent, not that the neighbours would do anything if they overheard his screams. Swallowing the fear that had begun to surface and placing his hands in his pockets to halt their slight tremble, he hoped the boy had not seen. Naruto loathed showing weakness in front of anyone, he acted pathetic enough in his foster father's presence, he would not cower from any other individual; let alone the raven.

The dark haired boy did not move his gaze from the red head until she had left their line of vision; he certainly hadn't seen Naruto's reaction when he covered his mouth, too preoccupied with remaining undiscovered.

After returning his gaze to the raven and watching him for a few more minutes, Naruto began to piece together what the dark haired boy was doing. A grin started to etch its way across his tanned face, as pride swelled in his gut. He finally had the answer to the question that tormented him.

"Sasuke! Your names Sasuke." He stated with, barely concealed, smugness; pointing his finger at the newly named, raven.
