Three small words chapter 3

Lunch Time

After spending break time explaining why I was not in lessons. 'Family problems'. They didn't have to know I was in a cupboard hiding away from a homophobic psycho who wants to kill me for being gay. That would only land me in shit for skipping lessons without a 'valid' reason. Third and fourth lessons were boring old English and maths. I don't mind English because I'm quite good at it but me and math big no no. Let's just say I'm currently on an F and it's not going up or down.

It was now lunch time and I was just making my way into the canteen. Only to be grabbed by Chouji and Shikamaru, carried back of the canteen and out to the back of the school. Where there were no windows, no teachers, a massive crowd of people and standing in the middle of his crowd with an evil grin across his face was Kiba. Oh grate! I knew he would catch up to me sooner or later.

"So, thought you could spend your whole life hiding did you?" Kiba called across to me as I was still being carried towards him.

"He shouldn't have to" Sakura stepped out from the crowd "this isn't right and you know it."

"Sakura, what have I told you about getting involved?" he replied turning to face her. Giving her a glare that made the girl shiver and look away "stop butting in its none of your business." He added through gritted teeth. Sakura backed down and looked at me with tear filled eyes and an expression that said 'I'm really sorry' before turning around and running away from the seen. I turned my attention back to Kiba. At this point Chouji and Shikamaru had put me down in front of him and the circle had closed around us.

I knew what was coming I was about to get my ass kicked in front of all these people. I'm may as well just sit back and take it.

"Just do it already" I shouted looking Kiba right in the eye.

"Oh come on Naruto, don't you want to mess around a bit first?" he asked closing the gap.

"No! Just get it over with" I snapped

"As you wish." With that he lifted up his right hand, pulled it back and smashed down on my nose. I fell to my knees, blood dripping from it.

"Get up!" Kiba growled grabbing my neck and picking me up. Kiba was strong my legs were barely touching the floor and my hands were dangling at my sides. Like I said I was just going to sit back and take it. Kiba attacked my stomach next, cutting off my breathing and winding me. I dropped to the floor, once again only time I was on my back gasping for breath. Then I felt a jabbing pain in my side as Kiba started to kick me. By now I was curled up in a ball, crying and aching all over.

"You know what I'm done with you" Kiba announced "for today anyway" he finished "let this be a warning for the rest of you" he said addressing the crowd then looking back down at me "nasty little homo" before he left with the rest of the group he kicked me once more and spat in my face. "I'll see you tomorrow" with that he was gone and I was left alone, battered, broken and crying.

Ten minutes had past and I was still in the same position but I had stopped crying now.

"Naruto?" wait, was that Sakura? "Naruto, are you ok?" she asked crouching down in front of me. I shook my head and tears started to fall again. "I'm so sorry I tried to stop him. I'm so, so sorry"

"Sakura" I choked out "stop apologising. It's not your fault. It's got nothing to do with you"

"I know but I hate seeing you like this. Your one of my best friends and after everything that's happened to you I just don't think you deserve it. It hurts me to see you like this." Now Sakaura was crying "come on I'm taking you to see the nurse and then we're reporting Kiba to the head teacher"

"No! I….just…ouch….want to go home" I said siting up.

"But Naruto you can't let him get aw….."

"I have to" I replied cutting her off "if I go and tell someone, the outcome is just going to be worse for me" I tried to get up but felt a sharp pain up my side and fell straight back down.

"Well at least let me look at you, I have training. Where does it hurt the most?" she asked leaning closer.

"Um, my nose and ribs, I guess" I said pointing at my face and right side.

"I just need to check if any things broke. This might hurt a bit, ok?" she warned me reaching out to touch my nose. I nodded in reply. She gently rubbed two fingers down the length of my nose.

"Ouch" I said with a sharp intake of breath.

"Sorry! Well, it's not swollen and it doesn't seem to be out of shape. So it's not broken but it is going to bruise quite badly"

"Oh? That's good then, but what about my ribs?" as I said this she moved over to my right side.

"Naruto, I know I've already said this but this might really, really hurt you and I'm so sorry" she lifted up my arm to gain better access to my side "Does it hurt to breath?"

"Not really, it stings a little bit but other than that it's fine unless I breathe though my nose then it hurts" I informed her with a little chuckle.

"Well, ok, I'm going to touch your side now" she then proceeded to gently press her fingers on to the side that hurt the most.

"You know it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would" I said through gritted teeth.

"Then it's not broken or fractured and will probably just bruise like your nose but keep an eye on it. Okay?"

"Yeah, thanks for checking me over. At least I won't have to go all the way to the hospital and get questioned about how it happened, why and who and you know all that stuff"

"That's what I'm here for" she said smiling at me "just remember you're not alone"

"I know" I said smiling back at her.

"Here let me help you up" she said putting my left arm around her solders and slipping her right arm around my waist. She used all her strength to pull me up to my feet without making both of us fall back down.

"Thanks" I breathed out, realising how much pain I was actually in.

"How are you going to get home? Don't you get the school bus and you can't walk in your state"

"I'll just get the public service bus, I guess"

"Oh! Ok do you have enough money?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me Sakura, I'll be fine" I reassured her.

"Can I help you walk to the bus stop?" I didn't really need her help but if it made her feel like she was doing something then I'd let her.

"sure, why not?"
