Note: I will always try to cater to you, the viewer's, tastes. If you have any suggestions or if there's something that you'd like to see in the fic, don't hesitate to write it in the review section. I'll do my best to put what you guys want in a chapter. Anyway! Now that that's been said, let's get to the story then, shall we? P.S. Kurama's voice comes out as more of a growl, so I hope that helps to explain why Sasuke notices the difference between him and Naruto in the text.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters used...but the content is somewhat mine. XD

Chapter 3

"Wake up dobe." Sasuke nudged Naruto's cheek. "You're going to be late on the first day."

"I know, I know." Naruto moaned as he got out of bed.

The blond walked into the bathroom, opened the cabinet, and took his pill. He then brushed his teeth and took a quick shower. Surprisingly, when he exited the bathroom, Naruto found Sasuke waiting for him. The raven haired teen glared at the blond and got up. He may have mumbled something, but Naruto couldn't quite tell if it was a sigh, or if he actually said something. Sasuke picked up his bag, and left the room moments later, causing Naruto to rush out after him. It wasn't long before Naruto lost Sasuke. So, he pulled out his class schedule and checked to see what his first class was. Of course, it was biology. Naruto then made his way to the science hall, found his classroom, and entered. When he did, a man with a really bad tan motioned for him to come to the front of the class. It was like half of his body was super pale, while the other half was super dark.

"You're the new student, correct? I'm Kuro Zetsu." The man said. "I'll be your biology teacher for the remainder of the year."

Naruto shook the mans hand. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

Zetsu told Naruto to sit in any of the empty seats, seeing as he didn't feel the need to assign one anyway. Naruto sat next to a boy with spikey brown hair, and kind of smelt like a wet dog.

"I'm Kiba." The boy said to Naruto with a grin.

"Naruto."

Kiba laughed, "I know. I heard when you were telling sensei."

"Oh..." Naruto blushed.

"No need to feel embarrassed." Another boy said. His hair was tied up. "Kiba's just nosey. I'm Shikamaru." The teen reached his hand out.

Naruto shook it, not knowing what to say.

"What made you change schools so suddenly?" Kiba asked Naruto.

"Umm..." Naruto shuffled in his seat.

Sasuke walked over to the three boys and glared at Kiba. "Shut up for once."

Kiba glared back at the taller teen. "I was trying to be friendly, not that you would know."

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's wrist and pulled him away, leading him towards what seemed to be the Uchiha's seat. "You don't want anyone to know, right?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke in shock. This person, who he assumed was a cold hearted bastard in league with Tsunade, could he have been worried? The two sat down in the empty seats. It seemed like Naruto was going to like it at Konoha. By the end of the day, he would have made a few new friends, and maybe Sasuke would be one of them. As long as he kept Kurama under control, the rest of the year would go by smoothly.

Naruto almost missed when the bell rang. He'd been blacking out during class, and failed to hear it sound. Luckily for him, Sasuke flicked his forehead and told him to get going.

"What class do you have next?" Naruto asked.

"Hn?" Sasuke replied. "What's it to you?"

Naruto shrugged, noticing the raven's bastardly attitude was returning. "I thought we could walk together. I mean, you're my only friend so far."

"We aren't friends, I'm just doing that witch a favor." Sasuke growled.

"Farewell kind Sasuke, I hardly knew you." Naruto laughed.

The Uchiha glared at him. "Not that I wanted to know a loser like you anyway."

"Bastard!"

However, as fate would have it, they were indeed on the way to the same class. It seemed Sasuke had English next, and Naruto was in his class. The raven slapped himself in the face when he realized this. Was he doomed to have Naruto in every one of his classes? Yes, yes he was. For as the day went on, Sasuke Uchiha realized that Naruto Uzumaki had yet to leave his side. They were in every class together. Even gym! The teen had a feeling it was all a plot. Tsunade must have planned for this the moment she had the blond room with him. Kakashi, an old family friend of the Uchiha, was probably in on the scheme too. The raven cursed his luck, and was thankful when it was lunch period. Still, Naruto didn't leave his side.

The blond looked at his 'friend' blankly.

"Hn?"

Naruto shook his head. "Nothing."

"Whatever it is, spit it out now moron."

"Am I bothering you?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, very much so. You can leave me alone now." Sasuke stated in his monotone voice.

Naruto sighed. "Sorry."

"For what? Being annoying?" the raven snorted.

"For whatever Kurama did." Naruto corrected him. "Maybe if I had taken my pill we'd be friends. He probably said and did some shitty stuff."

Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was wearing a very serious expression.

"He caused so much trouble at my last school, that I got bullied when I wasn't suspended or in detention."

There was a sad look in the blonds eyes, though he was smiling, and Sasuke just couldn't ignore it. He was about to pull the kid into a hug, but instead hit him in the back of the head. "What a troublesome person." Sasuke sighed. "Let me tell you, it's not Kurama's fault, I just don't like people."

Naruto's eyes grew wide for two reasons. One, Sasuke had just hit him. Two, did the all mighty Sasuke Uchiha just say that he didn't dislike him?

Sasuke continued to eat his food, leaving Naruto to ponder his words.

It wasn't long before another boy, one wearing eyeliner and had bright red hair, sat beside Sasuke. The two exchanged glances, and then the red haired boy looked at Naruto.

"Who're you?" The stranger asked.

"Naruto! You?"

"Gaara." The red haired boy replied. "I haven't seen you around before."

"I just transferred in." Naruto replied.

"He's my roommate." Sasuke said in between bites.

Gaara looked at Naruto with the same blank expression as Sasuke. No wonder they seem like friends.

"I see." Gaara said. "I'd be happy to show you around if you ever get lost. Sasuke isn't the type to help others, but you probably figured that out already." He laughed.

"Thanks." Naruto grinned.

"No problem. Any friend of Sasuke's is a friend of mine." Gaara responded.

"He's not my friend." Sasuke mumbled.

Gaara gave a little laugh, and leaned over the table, whispering into Naruto's ear. "I've known that guy since we were kids. He says you aren't friends, but if that were really true, he'd never have let you sit near him."

Naruto looked around. "Is that why the table's empty?"

Gaara nodded. "He'll never admit it, but if he actually talks to you, he considers you a friend." Gaara winked at Naruto. "Anyway!" He said loudly, "I've got to talk to Kakashi. See you guys later."

...

"Hey loser, did you take your pill?" Sasuke called from across the room.

Naruto got up and walked over to the bathroom, leaving the door wide open. "I'll take it now."

Sasuke shook his head. If he hadn't reminded him, he might have been tossed around again.

There was a knock on the door, and Sasuke got up to open it. It was Tsunade. She walked into the room and looked at Naruto.

"Hey granny." Naruto grinned after swallowing the pill.

"I came to make sure you were fine." Tsunade said.

"Just took my meds." Naruto assured the woman.

Tsunade nodded. "Okay, just be safe. I called Doctor Shizune, but she wont be able to come until tomorrow night." She turned to Sasuke. "He's not to take his medication until after Doctor Shizune leaves. Got it?"

Sasuke nodded. "What about Kurama?"

"If he comes out before Shizune, stop him from doing anything that could harm Naruto." Tsunade said.

Sasuke nodded yet again.

Tsunade left the room promptly. Sasuke sighed as he put the book he had been reading down. He then walked over to the windows and opened up the curtains to let the light in. While he was doing that, Naruto walked out of the bathroom and turned off the lights. Both teens walked over to their beds and got under the thin sheets.

"Sasuke?"

"What do you want loser?" A cold voice mumbled.

"Thanks for helping me out even though you don't really know me." Naruto whispered.

Sasuke turned around to say something, but realized that the blond had already passed out. He sighed, and a small smile crept onto his lips. "Moron."

...

"When is your therapist coming?" Sasuke asked Naruto as they walked towards their dorm. It seemed as though their classes had just flown by, possibly because Sasuke was dreading having to deal with a certain someone within the next hour. That person being Kurama.

"She'll be here in thirty minutes." Naruto replied as he unlocked the door to their room.

Both entered, and Sasuke sat on his bed. "I see. Don't take your pill." He reminded the moron.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "I know." The blond sat at his desk and sighed. "Just so you know, Kurama isn't easy to handle."

"Oh I know." Sasuke snorted.

The raven had planned their day out carefully. He made sure that when classes finished, he took Naruto to the ramen shop, as suggested by Tsunade, to keep him busy. Not to mention he asked Kakashi to keep Naruto after class late. Point was, Sasuke put a lot of thought into plotting his own downfall, all for the sake of that moron.

Forty minutes had passed, and Shizune hadn't shown up, not to mention Naruto hadn't said a word in the past five. That alone seemed strange, even to Sasuke, who barely knew the kid. The raven walked over to the blond and poked his cheek. Naruto was snoring, and had a stupid grin on his face. Of course he fell asleep. Sasuke let out a heavy sigh, and pulled the chair out. He was in the midst of lifting the blond up, when he awoke. Naruto looked Sasuke in the eyes, and smiled. The raven didn't notice the glint of red that shone in those beautiful azure eyes.

"Put me down." Kurama said kindly.

Sasuke immediately dropped him, taken a bit aback. "You..."

"Yea yea." Kurama said as he plopped down on Naruto's bed, waving his arms dramatically. "I don't like you either. Why'd you help me come out?"

Sasuke glared at him. "No reason."

"That's a lie Uchiha." Kurama stood and grabbed his collar. "Tell me why. Now." Sasuke shoved Kurama off. "Oh? Someone's being feisty." The male snickered.

Sasuke glared at him. "Don't touch me. Shizune will be here soon, so why don't you sit down and wait."

Kurama laughed. "Doc? I see, that's why you let me come out. You think that woman can help him? She can't even get rid of me without forcing drugs down the kids throat."

Sasuke stared at the deranged person sitting across from him. How could he be a part of such a pathetic moron? Still, Kurama pissed him off. The raven stood, walked over to the beastly male, and punched him square in the jaw. "Shut up already. You're more irritating than Naruto, and you weren't even born!"

Kurama started to laugh hysterically. "That's where you're wrong Uchiha. I was born. Born from Uzumaki's fears and desires." He stood up and shoved Sasuke down. "You wanna know why he created me?" Kurama made it clear that not only was he taunting Sasuke, but he was also challenging him.

Sasuke stared up at him.

"I warned you once, and I wont warn you again. Stay out of my way Uchiha because if you ruin my plans, I just might kill you." Kurama looked Sasuke in the eyes as he said this. His eyes were those of a man whose heart only carried the will to harm others. He gazed at the raven's exposed arm, and gave him a smirk before bending down and ripping open his flesh with his teeth.

Sasuke didn't cringe, he only shoved the male off. Blood trailed down his arm, but he couldn't feel the pain. As he tried to stop the bleeding with his hands long enough to reach the bathroom and open the first aid kit kept under the sink, Tsunade and Shizune walked in. They saw the blood on the floor and Kurama's vermilion grin, blood dripping down the side of his face.

The monster of a man turned to the women and laughed as he showed them his terrifying grin. "I warned him, did I not?"

...

Note: Wow! Was that a morbid ending or what?! Hehehe...Anyway, I'll be posting the next chapter sometime soon, so don't be a stranger. I'm starting to really love writing about Kurama because he's such an evil character. I look forward to his transformation, like in the anime/manga, when he starts to befriend Naruto rather than hate his existence. Hope you all liked it, bye!

KURAMA: I like the taste of your blood Sasuke, very bitter.

NARUTO: Much like his heart.

SASUKE: Hey!
