Chapter 2 (revised)

Okay as most of you probably noticed that I suck at writing authors notes so I'll leave it at this.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

The day was cold even though it was early October. The wind blew softly through my blond hair and I shivered slightly. I was always alone. I sat alone in classes, I sat alone at lunch, and during breaks. Right now I sat alone on a bench. It was cold and hard, but I didn't feel like moving.

Suddenly a strange dog like guy walked over and sat beside me. I shifted to the side cautiously. The guy seemed to just sit there for a while pondering. What he was going to say? I don't know. The guy then turned to me and held out his hand. "Hi! I'm Inuzuka Kiba."

The guy… Kiba then smiled warmly at me, and I felt a warmth surge in my chest. My throat tightened and my heart started to beat faster. Everyone else ignored me so why is this guy talking to me? "Uzumaki Naruto," I replied while giving Kiba my hand which he proceeded to shake with vigor.

NNNNNNNNNNN

I ran quickly outside only to be hit by falling rain. I grew wet as the rain assaulted me. My heart was beating and I quickly ran out of breath as I bolted for my car with Kiba right behind me. Why? Why does Sai have to open his stupid mouth?

"Naruto! Slow down!" Kiba yelled from behind me. I felt my hand relax as I loosened my grip on Kiba. My running has ceased, but my breathing was still labored, and my heart was still pounding in my ears. I felt my body shaking as I looked down at the dark parking lot underneath my feet.

I slowly turned and looked over at Kiba. My eyes pleading for him to not ask the question that I know he desperately wants to ask me right now. Please Kiba don't ask. I felt tears threatening to pour out of my eyes, as I knew what was about to come out of his mouth. My bottom lip quivered uncontrollably, and my nose started o tingle.

"Naruto? What was Sai saying?" Kiba asked cautiously. I formed my hand into a fist, 'please! Don't!'

I looked away from him knowing that if I confessed he would reject me, and fearing that he would no longer want me around anymore. I looked back at him. "Do I have to tell you?"

Kiba looked at me pained, "Naruto, you are my friend. Isn't that worth enough? Can't you trust me?"

All I could see was the wet pavement below my feet, as I could no longer look my friend in the eyes. I now felt my tears fall freely down my cheeks. "Please don't hate me." I said.

"Why would I hate you?" Kiba asked.

"Because…" Slowly I gazed up at Kiba as my voice cracked up a little, as I said, "Because I like you."

Kiba showed me a face full of genuine shock. "What?" Kiba asked. "What do you mean by that? I thought you weren't like that, you told me you weren't—"

"I wasn't," I cut him off before he could say it. "I wasn't, it's just you! I just like you." The rain started to pour down even harder as Kiba seemed to try and figure out what had just happened.

"Naruto, you know I like women right?"

Now my entire body started to shake with an unnerving sadness, as once again all I could see was the blurry pavement. "I know Kiba. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

I don't know how long the two of us stood there before Kiba left. He walked away almost without a sound, except for a barely audible 'sorry'. The rain poured down on me. Never-ending, each drop sent chills through my body, but I couldn't will myself to move from that spot. I could not stop myself from remembering that cold day. That day when I had first met Kiba. His bright smile had warmed me to the bone. I wanted that warmth so badly, yet I didn't move, I couldn't move.

After what seemed like hours of uncontrollable shivering, and after so many tears I got into my car and drove home. The drive was lonely and cold. My vision was blurred and my heart was broken, maybe I will never be loved. Maybe I will never find that one person to hold me close and whisper sweet nothings to me. When I got home I went directly to bed and cried myself to sleep.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The next morning I woke up with a horrible headache. I sat up in bed finding myself unable to stand. I willed myself to stand up, and I started to wobble over to my kitchen in the one room apartment that my grandpa bought for me. I took a few aspirin, and then headed out the door. The floor seemed to shake as I walked down the hallway towards the elevator. While going down the elevator I felt like throwing up.

I inched to my car with a feeling of dread and frustration. My eyes were obviously swollen, and my legs just didn't want to work right. Why am I even going to school? Opening the door of my car I turned on the ignition and drove out of the parking complex.

The drive to the school was very painful, for more than one reason. I didn't want to see him today, and even worst Sai is in all three of my classes today. Hah I let out a sigh and parked my car. Please let me get through this day.

As I walked towards my class, I expected to see Sasuke Uchiha lingering outside of the building like he usually does on such a day, but thankfully he was nowhere to be seen. I'm glad that he doesn't have any classes in the section of campus I study at.

The campus is really big, but the section I study in has only one building. I've always really liked it as it feels comfortable knowing that it is very easy to run into friends, although right now I feel suffocated knowing that I can run into Kiba.

I practically made a mad dash into my first class, and as I ran past another class I caught a glimpse of Kiba who looked up at me in shock, and made a move to say something. But before he was able to I hurried into my first class. Well that's one of my worries gone. Now to just avoid him for the rest of the day.

"Good morning, my Naruto." A shiver ran up my spine as Sai strode up to me and sat down. "Don't you just love this class, I know I do cause none of your pesky friends can bother us." Sai smiled at me with his cold dead eyes and another shiver rode up my spine. There's something different about him today; he's freaking me out more than he usually does.

"So now that you've been dumped by dog-breathe you are finally free to go out with me, right?" Sai said while grabbing onto my thigh.

"N-no Sai!" I practically yelped.

Sai just moved in closer and whispered into my ear. "You will be mine, Naruto. One way or another. So you may as well just give in now." I blanched and looked over at Sai horrified. What is he saying?

"Good morning class," the sensei said while walking in, and Sai moved away from me, but his eyes stayed glued onto me, as he gave me a wicked smile.

I did my best to pay attention during class, but I found myself constantly dozing off, and not only that, but my headache also came back. Our sensei went on and on, and all I wanted to do was go home and get some sleep.

"Sensei," one of the girls in class called out." You went five minutes over again."

"Ch! Fine you may leave." The sensei said, "Don't forget the paper that's due next class."

Everyone started to leave and I felt someone rock me gently, "Sweet Naruto, wake up!" Sai said in a sing-songy voice. I opened my eyes to find Sai staring at me intently. "Did you have a good nap, Princess?"

"Shut up!" I stood up, and lost my balance for a while. Sai gave a face asking what was wrong. "I'm going to my next class, don't follow me this time."

"Why should I?" Sai asked irritated. "I'm in that class too."

"Because…" I looked up at Sai and something in his eyes stopped me. It was cold, and hard, but at the same time there was something that both scared and intrigued me. It seemed that his usually emotionless eyes where swaying with worry.

"Naruto!"

I jumped into the air at the sound of that voice, and I looked over to see Kiba coming towards me. I looked around to find a way to escape, but there was only one door and Kiba was blocking the way towards it. I should have left the classroom right when sensei dismissed us.

"We need to talk!"

Sai stepped in between Kiba and me, and gave Kiba a fake smile. Never in my life have I felt so grateful for Sai. "Naruto doesn't want to talk to you." He said bluntly. "Can't you see that you're making him uncomfortable?"

"This has nothing to do with you Sai! Naruto, please talk to me!"

"Kiba," Sai said and a shiver went up my spine. "Leave! Before both of us regret it!"

Something in Sai's eyes must have spooked Kiba, because after that he slowly started to back away. "Fine, have it your way Sai, but I'll have you know that I will eventually talk to Naruto, and you won't stop me."

Kiba walked back down the hall, and Sai grabbed my hand leading me out the door and towards our next class.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

"NARUTO!" I jumped out of my seat to find sensei standing right above me. "If you are going to sleep then go home and do that, but if you want to learn something, then I suggest you stay awake!" I looked around me to find all eyes were now focused on me and sensei. Why was I sleeping in this class? Even Shikamaru knows not to sleep in this class.

"I'm sorry sensei."

The sensei looked at me and sighed, "I better not catch you sleeping again, understood?"

"Yes sensei!"

Sai started to snicker beside me as the teacher started to lecture on how rude it is to fall asleep during class, and my face started to heat up. "Sai you jerk! Why didn't you wake me up, if you noticed I was sleeping?" I whispered

"Because it's fun to watch you get into trouble." Sai said with a mischievous grin. This jerk, how come he only acts this way towards me? Around everyone else he puts on that stupid fake smile and acts like he has no emotions or intentions. But in reality, he is pure evil. Sai looked over at me, and I caught it again. His dead eyes flashed with worry.

I focused my attention to our lecturing sensei. Maybe Sai isn't such a creepy guy? Maybe he just has trouble expressing himself. I rested my head on my hand, he could just be putting on an act.

Sai reached over and squeezed my thigh as hard as he could. "Ow!" I said as quietly as I could so that sensei wouldn't come over here again. "Why did you do that?"

Sai looked over at me and smirked, "I thought you wanted me to wake you up when you are about to fall asleep."

"Stupid, I wasn't about to fall asleep that time!"

"My bad."

LLLLLLLLLLLL

After class ended I headed to my car for my lunch break, because there was no way I would eat on campus and risk running into Kiba. I climbed the stairs up to the top of the parking garage to find myself starting to get light headed. Then once I reached the top of the stairs I found myself falling backwards.

No! I reached out to grab something to stop my fall, but I couldn't find anything. Then all of a sudden someone grabbed onto my arm and caught me. I quickly regained my footing and fell forward into someone's arms. "Usuratonkachi" I heard a familiar voice say.

"Sasuke?" I looked up and everything went black.

Welp there you go! :D
