The Blond Werewolf of Beacon Hills
Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto or Teen Wolf
Naruto walked into the room behind the principal, as the entire class was relieved to have a distraction from Coach Finstock and his rambling about how hard it was to teach high schoolers and remain sober.
"Well class, I'd like to introduce you to a new student. He will be joining us, and I recommend that you make him feel comfortable at his new school."
The teenaged blond took a step forward, and stood at the front of the class with a shy smile plastered over his face. He had nothing to be embarrassed about, but knew that it would not be good if he made a far too assertive first impression. He took a imperceptible look of the entire class, but paid most attention to the four students sitting in a square in the centre of the class, in the second and third rows.
He saw Scott and the Hunter girl, as well as the two other teens that had been in the clearing last night. Naruto saw the recognition in their eyes, and had to bite the inside of his cheek to prevent his grin from turning into a smirk. He had achieved his objective, and had left a mark on the four teens.
"Uh, hi. I'm Naruto Hale, and I'm going to be with you guys for the next few years, I hope."
Before he could say anymore, he was cut off by the teacher, who seemed to reek of sweat and coffee.
"Okay, I got it from here Principal Nichols. I'll make sure he fits in."
The principal hesitated for an instance, before nodding in agreement.
"Okay Bobby," The principal said in a voice that sounded like he already regretted agreeing, "I'm leaving him in your capable hands."
As soon as the principal had left, Naruto found the older man's hand on his shoulder, and had to resist the immense urge to toss him out of the window.
"So, Uzumaki, this is Economics class, and do you play lacrosse?"
Naruto had often heard of the game, and knew that he could play. The fact that he had never played wasn't something that the older man had to know about.
"Yeah, I can play."
The man's expression immediately grew friendly, as he clapped Naruto on the back, and wrapped his arm around his shoulders.
"Finally, we've been needing some good players. Why don't you head back there and take a seat behind McCall? Just move your desk to the left a little, I don't want Greenberg infecting new potential."
Naruto's grin grew slightly as he made his way to the last seat behind Scott, making sure to send him a rather feral smirk before he sat down.
Allison could not help but wonder if there would be any more strange surprises this week. Last night Scott had come over to her place and had a long talk about how he was really worried about where their relationship was heading. Her dad seemed ready to kill her black haired boyfriend, or that was what she could estimate by judging the venom with which he said Scott's name this morning when she brought up the topic of the previous night's happenings. But Allison knew that she would not be able to survive without Scott, her love for the Werewolf exceeding any other feelings she had ever felt.
After all the stress over the past few days, she had been hoping to maybe be able to relax with an ordinary day as an ordinary teenager, not a seventeen year old huntress whose family raised her to kill Werewolves and various other mystical beings.
But the brunette knew that any such wish would be in vain the moment the blond Werewolf from last night walked into their economy class. Once the initial surprise had worn off, a million questions began to buzz in her mind. Allison had no idea why the Alpha was here, or why he seemed to be acting docile. And the fact that there were so many variables both annoyed and frightened her to no end.
Allison sent a sideways glance to her boyfriend who was sitting one seat behind her in the adjacent column, and saw a similar look of shock on his face. But before Allison could do anything further, the blond was already walking down the aisle to the vacant seat behind Scott, and Coach continued his coffee-powered, fiery lecture on Government Policies.
Naruto pulled out a black fountain pen and a thick notebook from the backpack that Derek had handed him in the morning, and decided to start paying attention to the topic the class was covering. The Werewolf hadn't forgiven Derek in any way yet, but if he was indeed in high school, he might as well try to make use of it. And Derek was right, this would allow him to keep eye on not only his Beta, but the Argent girl as well. While he was willing to give her the benefit of doubt, he wouldn't let her actions go unsupervised, lest they be a threat to him or his pack.
After nearly an hour of mind-numbingly boring droning from Coach Finstock, the students were dismissed by the bell ringing across the entire building. Naruto could not help but notice Scott wince slightly. It seemed like there was more work to be done than he had previously thought. The blond had to admit that Derek was correct. He had to be the one who would train his pack if he wanted them to be loyal to him. But he was still surprised, for he never thought that a Werewolf would be willing to give up their powers, no matter how difficult the transition might have been.
As the class began to file out, Naruto walked up to Scott in the slightly crowded hallway, and grasped the Beta's shoulder tightly.
The black haired boy jumped slightly before turning around. He had not sensed Naruto approaching him, and wished he had a chance to just get away from him.
"So," the blond began with a seemingly innocent look. "I guess we're going to be classmates. Which class do we have next, Scott?"
The Beta was slightly unnerved by his Alpha. He knew practically nothing about him, except that he was powerful, very much so. The black haired teen realized that Naruto was probably here to keep an eye on either him or Allison. After all, Allison was still just another Hunter to them, another enemy. Scott looked around the nearly empty hall before leaning forward.
"What are you doing here?" the Beta whispered. "Are you spying on Allison?"
Naruto just smirked at the inquisitive teen. The boy could become a fine Werewolf, if he had the right guidance.
"Actually, Derek believes that I should have more exposure to society, and spend time with my new pack. Don't tell him, but I think he's right."
Scott was surprised by how genuine the reply seemed, but was not willing to let his guard down. Maybe he could be on friendly terms with the new Werewolf, he thought as the blond continued.
"And I'd also like your help, because I need to learn how to drive. Apparently you people prefer it to running around, the way we should be travelling. But anyways, could you tell me where we got to go next. I have the same classes as you."
Scott was surprised that the blond couldn't drive and wanted help, and seemed to sympathize slightly with his plight. He realized that he might as well make the best of their time together.
"Yeah, we have Chemistry with Mr. Harris next, and the lab's right around the corner to the left. You go ahead, I just need to get something and then I'll be right behind you."
Naruto smiled at Scott, before lifting his hand from his shoulder and rising to his complete height. It seemed like the dark haired boy was also a decent guy, if naive at times.
"Okay, I'll see you later."
Scott watched as the blond Werewolf walked down the empty hall with a swift pace, and let out a sigh when he turned around the corner. But merely a second later, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around his chest, and Allison appeared behind him, resting her head upon his shoulder.
"So, why is he here?"
Scott ran a hand through his hair as he turned to his girlfriend, unsure of how to reply to her question.
"That's the thing that worries me the most. I don't know. But right now, I need to get to chemistry. I don't need to give Harris another reason to hate me."
With that the couple began to walk down the corridor hand in hand with their fingers entwined. Little did they realize that Naruto stood around the corner, watching them. The evidence of affection was irrefutable, but Naruto understood the risks of a Werewolf being emotionally open to a Hunter. It was the worst kind of vulnerability possible, and the blond realized that their relationship would not be able to survive. But the teen thought that Scott deserved all the love and support he could get during such a perilous time, so he chose to ignore the matter as he began to walk towards the laboratory.
The day seemed to be rushing by for Stiles, and he was in the cafeteria before he even realized it. His mind was filled with a concoction of the day's events, beginning with the appearance of Naruto in their economy class, followed by two hours of being ridiculed by his bastard of a chemistry teacher, and being assigned detention once more, on the basis of 'not wearing proper laboratory equipment', despite the fact that they were doing theoretical work. Now, he found himself holding a tray, on which rested a tall pile of unrecognisable sludge, which he highly doubted was either edible or legal.
As the brown haired teenager made his way toward the table where he could see Scott seated, he suddenly began to recall the thoughts he had had earlier in the morning, regarding his current situation with Lydia. Stiles did not know what to do. On one hand, he could move on and try to date someone more single. But on the other hand, Stiles thought that he had made serious progress with Lydia, and that she might be beginning to like him, even if only just.
Naruto made his way to Scott swiftly and sat down before any of his friends could show up, and quickly struck up a conversation, leaving the Beta no time to escape.
"You know, I am not your enemy here. I merely want to help my family, and it seems you are now an important part of it, whether you like it or not."
Scott grew rather upset at the teen's words, and almost let out a snarl.
"Well, then you're nothing but a selfish person who only wants to use others to gain power for themselves."
The blond was not angered by these words. He could understand the boy's plight, and knew that it would not be easy to get him to acknowledge his new role.
"But that is the thing. If you help me, you will gain much for yourself as well. Wealth, fame, strength, and love."
Naruto saw the great effect his last word had upon him, and decided to continue his onslaught while the iron was hot.
"I am not using you, Scott I only wish for an agreement which benefits the both of us, because I need my pack, and you are a part of it."
Scott seemed to be thinking over the blond's words. An agreement seemed reasonable enough. Honestly, with his experience with Hales', he was relieved this one wasn't trying to coerce him forcefully or by taking a friend or relative hostage. But before he could respond to the Alpha, Stiles arrived at the table, slamming down his tray and staring at the blond Werewolf opposite of him. Naruto knew that it would not be best to overstay his welcome, so he decided to leave the two.
"Just think over my words Scott, I'll see you at practice."
Stiles and Scott both stared at the retreating figure of the teen, before Stiles turned to his best friend with an exaggerated visage of rage.
"What were you doing, fraternizing with the enemy? That guy is dangerous, and we need to stay from him. I don't know about you, but I've had my life endangered one time too many over the past few months, and I would really like some time as a regular, under-average teenager for some time."
Scott empathised with his pal's worry, but still could not help but continue to mull over the blond's words. He sighed, before reminding Stiles to not eat too much, lest he had forgotten that they had lacrosse practice next. Stiles just smiled sarcastically before replying.
"Trust me, with this stuff, eating too much isn't a problem."
Naruto stood next to Danny, a boy from his class who had shown an unprecedented interest in him as he waited for the Coach to begin practice. He could see Scott standing near the other end of the line, while Stiles was sitting on the bleachers next to Allison and Lydia. The blond also noticed Jackson standing in the line, two boys over from Danny. Despite the boy having been at the Hale House the other night, Naruto knew that he was not much of a threat to him. He was the kind of person who had been taught to take everything served up to him on a silver platter.
"Okay people, we're gonna have to get ugly if we wanna make it through this season, and I mean 'Greenberg ugly'. You better put away your barbies and bangles, because we are here to play lacrosse!"
Finstock's words seemed to grow in decibals with every word, and by the end he was left practically screaming, with spittle flying everywhere as he entered a determined rage. The man took a moment to regain his composure, and with the help of his enhanced hearing, Naruto was sure he could hear him mutter, "Remember the rainbow bunnies..." over and over again.
"Okay, now I want you to separate from the middle, and form two teams. I will be watching your performances, and I will see who makes it to the school team. Oh, and heads up, I'll be choosing the two co-captains today, with one from each side."
This caused a hushed silence to fall over the teens, as they realized what was at risk here. It took the Coach's own words to bring them out of their thoughts.
"Well, what are you waiting for, your periods!? Get out there!"
The group split up, and Naruto absently noted that he was teamed up with Jackson, while Scott was on the opposite team. The blond Werewolf took up the post of mid liner, along with Jackson, and got ready for the game to begin. As soon as everyone had taken their places, Finstock stepped in the middle of the field, prepared to start the game.
"I want a good game here people, and I don't care who wins right now! I need you to bring out the animal inside you, and go wild!"
Once again he seemed to go into an excited frenzy, but this time, he didn't try to calm down. He just blew the whistle.
And with that, all hell broke loose.
Author's Note:
Hiya guys and gals! I'm so sorrryyyy about the really long wait, but I had CIE's and all that to worry about. Plus I had to put my entire summer vacays into studying. T-T.
So, I need you guys to understand that Naruto isn't trying to be evil or bad here. He is not a Dark!Naruto or any of that stuff. But this fic is gonna be a drama, so I'll do my best to try to put stuff like that here and there. Plus I am going to have Chris be a little more humane than he was in the show. I mean, I loved the guy, but he was a bit too stern towards Allison and Scott in my opinion. But still, in this fic he is only 'considering' Scott as trustworthy, after having knocked back a beer, so nothing is set in stone.
Plus it'll be some time before Season 2 canon, so this is currently the off-screen time between Season 1 and 2. Also, I really hope I got Coach Finstock right, because he was one of my favourite characters throughout the series. Man, that guy is insane.
Well, I really hope you guys enjoy, and don't worry, I'm working on chapters for my other fics as well, and they'll be up soon, hopefully.
So, favourite and follow, and if you have any queries, shoot me a PM or leave a review. It is truly a delight to read your feedback.
Peace Out
