Okay… this one was hard to write. Please review! I don't own Naruto!

Sakura was watching from the ground helplessly. Everyone was quiet and the tension in the air was added with Ino's struggling grunts. Dean had a twisted smile on his face, as he was almost picking Ino off the ground from her wrist.

"Dean," she shrieked. "You jerk, let me go!" Sakura felt a weight on her chest. She hadn't ever felt anything like this. Was it anger? Or was it fear? Or was she upset?

Sasuke got up and stepped over Sakura. Everyone stepped back; a fight was about to happen, and everyone knew it. Sakura reached up for the arms of the chair Sasuke had just got out of, and stood up. Sasuke stepped forward. Someone whispered "Go, Sasuke."

"Hey," he said. "Put her down." Dean stared at him in complete awe. He wasn't expecting to see him here. Kiba let out a howl, which everyone took as "Let's get it started!"

"Or what," Dean asked, finally in the game. "You'll go get her parents?" Ino glared at him with tears building up, making her eyes glisten with hatred and horror. Sasuke lowered his eyes, and Dean let her go. She fell to the ground. Sakura couldn't help but think she was being dramatic and helpless.

"Bring it on, Spook Face," he said, and charged after Sasuke. When he punched, Sasuke dodged to the side, and kicked him in the back. Dean went tumbling for the grass and fell. He wiped his nose as he got up.

"You're not as good as I would have expected," Sasuke admitted. Dean growled and came after him again. Sasuke reached for his arm, twisted him around with force, and balanced with his foot on his back. Dean was leaning on his toes and Sasuke was keeping them perfectly balanced. Sasuke then shoved him farther than last time. Dean fell again, this time angrier than the last. His eyes had a few tears in them.

He walked slowly this time onto the patio. Sasuke and Dean circled each other, like dogs did while fighting. Sakura grasped her heart. Her heart was pumping and she forced all the pride for Sasuke into her eyes. Then her heart leapt, as Dean charged faster than Sakura thought possible for him. Sasuke wasn't expecting it either. Now Dean had him pinned to the wall with a kunai placed on his throat.

Dean's face was close to Sasuke, and he was staring at him with total hatred. Dean started laughing.

"If anyone moves," he warned. "I'll cut him." Sakura noticed Sasuke slowly making hand-signs. Sakura braced herself, and turned away. She knew what was about to happen.

"Fire style; fire ball jutsu!" He blew a huge fire ball out of his mouth. Girls screamed and Dean shouted in pain. Sakura was afraid to look at him. Was his face burned? She built up enough courage to look. He wasn't burning at all! He was shrieking like a little girl because his shirt was on fire. Sakura couldn't help but giggle to herself. Hadn't he ever heard of stop, drop, and roll?

He finally took off his shirt and he luckily had another shirt under it. It was easier to see all his fat now, but not as much if he didn't have this shirt on. He looked at his burning shirt, then at Sasuke through tears, and ran through the back gate. Everyone could hear him crying as he left.

Everything was silent, except for the empty song playing in the air. Ino got up and rushed to Sasuke. She was about to give him a hug when he moved away. He went inside and all the girls followed him, talking to each other loudly about Sasuke's bravery.

He opened the front door, looked back at everyone, and left. Kiba yelled to everyone.

"Come on," he encouraged. "There's still a party!" The girls walked back outside slowly, mumbling about how uncool it was of Sasuke leaving. Ino and Sakura were the only ones left back in the room. Sakura hugged her best friend, and she hugged back. For some reason they both laughed.

"Did- did-did," Ino couldn't get it out because of how hard she was laughing. She finally calmed down and grabbed Sakura's shoulder. "Did you… see Dean's… face?" Sakura nodded.

"Sasuke's so hot!" she exclaimed. They looked at each other.

"What do you think he's gonna say at school tomorrow?" Ino asked, tucking back a piece of stranded hair. Sakura looked at Ino with blank eyes.

"I don't know," she said slowly. They held hands and went outside.

Naruto was stargazing at the exact moment of the party. He was laying in front the apartment building; he was lying on his back with his hands behind his head. He was watching for shooting stars. He lay there a couple minutes until he heard footsteps a block away. He shot up and looked to the far side of the street and Sasuke was rounding the corner. Wasn't he supposed to be at Ino's party?

Naruto grunted. He probably thought he was too cool for that party. Naruto stood up and waited for Sasuke to come past. Sasuke passed in silence, and Naruto decided to just glare at him.

The weekend passed too fast and Naruto found himself in the same classroom with Sasuke and Kakashi on Monday. Naruto didn't feel like going there and telling his life story, and listen to Sasuke mumble under his breath for 2 hours. But that's not how it went…

"Okay, guys," Kakashi started. "Do you know any jutsu?" Naruto was caught off guard and shot his head up in surprise, and Sasuke's eyebrows went up.

"Yeah," Naruto said. "I mean, I do a pretty cool ninjutsu I came up with myself." Sasuke sighed.

"I wouldn't get my hopes too high," Sasuke grumbled. "It's probably a horrible jutsu." Naruto scowled at him. What gave him the right to be so negative all the time? He got up from his chair and made a hand-sign.

"Heh, I'll show you," He said. A puff of smoke appeared around him as he shouted a transformation jutsu. He came out as curvy, blonde-haired, orange-bikini-wearing girl. He had decided to transform with something to cover him up because he didn't want a detention. He was serving a Saturday that week.

When the smoke dismissed and Naruto stopped the jutsu, he placed his hands behind his head confidently and looked at their reactions. Sasuke was now sitting up in his chair, looking at Naruto without an ounce of respect.

Kakashi on the other hand, his eye was wide open, and his head was leaning forward; probably for a closer look, so Naruto thought.

"Heheh," he laughed. "How about that?" Sasuke shook his head in disgust.

"How stupid can you get, Naruto?" He asked. Kakashi walked forward, out of the daze.

"Alright," he said. "Sasuke, I'd like to see you demonstrate a fire style jutsu. I've heard the Uchiha were famous for that kind of jutsu." Sasuke nodded.

"We'll have to go outside," He said with a devious smile. Naruto huffed, and crossed his arms. They went in the back part of the school, where there was a lot of area. Sasuke stared at it for a second, and sighed. He made various hand signs, faster then Naruto could, and jumped back puffing up air.

"Fire style; fire ball jutsu!" Sasuke was blowing a huge, flaming ball of fire out in the large area. Naruto watched in awe. He could even fell the heat from it. Everything there was hazy with heat, and Sasuke stopped. He smiled at Naruto, and Naruto took it as, "That's what I call a jutsu."

Kakashi placed a hand on Sasuke. "That was pretty impressive, Sasuke." He admitted. Sasuke walked toward Naruto and smiled again. Naruto stuck his tongue out and scowled. Then Naruto looked at Kakashi.

"What kind of jutsu can you do?" he asked curiously. Kakashi shrugged.

"I can do some," he said. Naruto started heading for the classroom; but Kakashi stopped him. "We're staying out here, actually." Naruto nodded.

"What are we doing?"

"I want to see your tai-jutsu," He said. Sasuke and Naruto exchanged glances. "Okay, set up."

"What the heck does that mean?" Naruto asked loudly.

"When I say set up," he informed. "I mean stand in front of each other, like your ready to fight."

"Say what?" Naruto exclaimed. "We're not gonna be fighting, are we?" Kakashi stood there a second without responding.

"No," he said. "Just set up." Sasuke stood in front of Naruto. They looked at each other, and Naruto realized, he wanted to fight Sasuke. He wanted to see what real damage he could do. Then Naruto thought of the word formation. He remembered hearing on T.V. movies with ninja's in them that some had good and some had bad formation.

Then he thought, 'Does Sasuke want to fight me?' They looked at each other in intense silence.

"Okay," Kakashi said. "Now, I couldn't imagine Naruto having as good tai-jutsu as Sasuke, so-"

"What!" Naruto shouted.

"I'm just saying, Sasuke comes from a part of town that's pretty good with this kind of stuff." Kakashi said, correcting himself. "So, Naruto, I want you to attack Sasuke." This was a dream come true! A teacher telling him to attack his all time rival?

"But, Sasuke, you can defend yourself," Kakashi ended the perfect dream. Naruto's first thought in his head was in the next few seconds he'd find himself on the ground.

"Alright," Naruto mumbled. He cracked his fist, brought it back, and swung for it. But a jolt went through his body when Sasuke had caught his fist as Naruto had put it at full force. He tried to undercut with the other hand, but Sasuke caught that one too.

Then, Naruto resorted to his legs. He kicked with one leg, trying to knock him down. However, when Sasuke saw this, he grabbed Naruto by his hands with all the strength in his arms and flipped him to the side. Naruto found himself on his back, just like the vision in his mind.

Except, only this time, it hurt really bad. His spine was tingling with pain, and the back of his head with soar. He sat up, and rubbed his back gingerly.

"Ow…" He murmured slowly. Sasuke glared down at him with fury in his eyes. Naruto spat in the grass, lucky to see there wasn't any blood in the mixture. Kakashi helped him up, once more. Naruto rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Okay," He said. "So, I'm not that great at tai-jutsu. Big deal." He leaned against the school and looked at Sasuke. "Does he get to do tai-jutsu?" Kakashi nodded.

"There's no way he's using me as a punching bag," Naruto said.

"I wasn't intending him on using tai-jutsu on you," Kakashi said. "I was going to let him do it on me." Sasuke looked at Kakashi like he was crazy.

"Hrmp," he grunted. They 'set up' and Sasuke took a crack at it.

Naruto wanted to close his eyes, because he knew he was going to be much better than him. However, he wanted to see what would happen. Sasuke hesitated at first.

"Come on," Kakashi encouraged. Sasuke used a set of attacks, some too fast for Naruto to see. And Kakashi was fast at dodging and deflecting. Naruto was starting to doubt this guy was only good at a few jutsu…

When the first bell rang, Naruto went to go tell his 5th hour teacher he was able to be excused. When he returned, he realized he felt like only 10 minutes had past.

"Okay," Kakashi resumed. "The main thing I wanted to teach you-"

"Teach?" Naruto interrupted again. "I thought this was… I thought you're a consular."

"I am," he said. "But I think I can do more with you two." Naruto couldn't help but think that sounded mysterious. Sasuke looked at Naruto harder than ever, like there was something he knew about him he didn't know.

"Are you a shinobi?" Naruto asked, trying to ignore Sasuke.

"Yes," Kakashi said.

"Then you do know jutsu!"

"Yes, but I'm not doing it here at school. I could get fired." He said. Naruto looked at his feet. Sasuke was still staring at him.

"Would you stop starring at me?" Naruto finally commanded. Sasuke looked away slowly.

"Getting back to what I was saying," Kakashi said. "I want to teach you guys how to control chakra."

"Chakra?" Naruto asked. "Isn't that, like, positive energy, or something?"

"No," Sasuke blurted out. "That's chi; Chakra is spiritual energy." Naruto twitched his nose.

"I don't think you have chakra or chi," Naruto said.

"Anyway," Kakashi resumed. "I just want to touch the basics." The room was silent for a while. "Come on," he said, and they followed him outside again.

"The first thing to understanding jutsu is chakra," Kakashi said. "You can't use jutsu with out chakra or physical energy." Naruto yawned. "And the key word for chakra is focus." Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You guys aren't giving me much support here."

"Because I already know this stuff," Sasuke complained.

"Because this stuff is boring," Naruto complained. Kakashi sighed.

"We want a visual!" Naruto cheered. "Do a jutsu!"

"We won't tell anyone," was Sasuke's little encouragement.

"You know I could get fired for this," Kakashi informed.

"We know," the boys said together with a smile. Kakashi looked around, and couldn't think of a reason to not use one, little jutsu.

"Okay," he agreed. Naruto was on his toes, waiting for the action. What kind of jutsu was he going to use? Was anyone going to see? Did he want Kakashi to get fired? He didn't know any of the answers to those questions.

Kakashi grabbed his right wrist, and almost instantly, Naruto could hear a noise of birds! He covered his ears, not expecting the noise. Sasuke's face was stricken; he hadn't been ready for it either. Then a flash of light appeared in his hand. Naruto squinted to watch the jutsu.

Kakashi was holding a ball of lighting in his hand! Sasuke shielded his eyes with his hand. Then everything stopped. Naruto scratched the inside of his ear with one hand, and rubbed his eyes with another.

"That was loud," Sasuke hissed. "Someone could have heard that."

"You asked for a jutsu," Kakashi said, without guilt. "I showed you one that didn't physically hurt you guys." When Naruto was finished adjusting, his face slowly returned to a big, respectful, awe-filled smile. Then he laughed.

"My heart," he exclaimed. "It's pumping so fast!" Kakashi smiled back.

"I'm glad you liked it, Naruto." He said. Sasuke huffed.

"Can we get back to chakra now?" he asked impatiently. Sasuke was glared down by Naruto and Kakashi. He closed his eyes, and waited for the lesson to resume. Inside, he was enjoying hanging out with them. He hadn't been enjoying anything since his family had died. He wasn't going to show it, though.

So… please give me your thoughts! I've had someone say it was uneventful and another person said she was mad at me because she wanted to know what happens really bad… so I need some input here!
