Ch.6: New Friend
He could tell everyone was looking at him with a stunned expression on their faces. After all he wasn't one to start to shiver at the mere sight of someone with a letter just for him.
"You all right Naruto?" he heard Kiba's voice and could him feel his hand rest on his shoulder. Nodding he brushed it off, and knew Kiba didn't like that.
"Yea, um I have to attend to something so ill see you guys later."He knew his voice was quivering but he needed to get to the bottom of this. Waving his hand in a solute he grab the other boy's hand and dragged him away. Whispers circulating through his table. But that didn't matter at the moment.
Naruto's grip had tightened on te boys hand as they rounded the corner. His eyes searching for a room that wasn't occupied at the moment and to his relief the music room was just the place.
Swinging the door open he pushed the boy in and slammed him against the wall. A deafening thud resonating in the room. And his eyes locked with the boys. Who to his surprise looked completely indifferent.
"Who the hell do you think you are to come and give me a note from the man! As a matter of fact who are you?! How are you associated with that pile of shit! Tell me, who are you!" he was glad he had chosen a music room since they were padded and sound proof.
Starring at the boy he could swear that if he had the power to, he would be burning holes in this kid's skull. What shook him even more was that he had scoffed at him.
"Calm down blondie. First off I don't know the guy okay. And I have no association with him what so ever so cool your jets and don't get your panties in a bunch." His voice was filled with sarcasm and smirked when he could tell that he was only bothering the boy even more.
"Well then why do you have that letter. You can't tell me that you agreed to give a letter to some complete stranger from a complete stranger. Moreover you have yet to tell me who you are!" it was getting tiring that people would not answer his questions directly.
Scoffing again he rolled his eyes.
"Look, so what if I did get the note from a complete stranger to give it to a complete stranger. I just did it on the spur of the moment, and he gave me a hundred dollars. Not like I was going to pass that up. Another thing you seem to know him better than I ever would. What with the way he said to make sure it was given to you and no one else, I would suspect you to be lovers." A smile spread across his face as those last words came out. But sort of subsided when he saw the blonds face go pale.
Reaching a hand up he pushed the stunned kids hands off of his shoulders. And started to walk away. Looking back once more.
Naruto was stunned to say the least. He could feel the turning of his stomach tell his head to let him vomit. But he needed to compose himself. He needed to let it not get to him. Squeezing his hand he realized that the kid was no longer there. Snapping his head up he searched the room to find him exiting the door.
"Wait . . . you didn't tell me your name." His voice quivered as he continued to battle with his stomach. He watched as he saw the boys head shake back and forth. Eyes widening when he saw him turn around with the biggest smile on his face.
"Names Sai, and tell your boyfriend to never talk to me again. He is a creep. Hope you live happily." His voice was coated in sarcasm and malice. It made Naruto cringe. His face paling even more. His back disappearing through the door.
Turning his gaze from the door he made his way to the piano bench and sat himself down hopping the turning in his stomach would go away. Did they really look like they could be a couple? Ha, it was unbelievable. Who the hell would want to be with a pile of crap like him. And thinking about him only made his stomach worse. No way was he going to give in. Sliding his hand down to his shirt pocket he traced the outline of the note. No sir he was not going to be dragged back into that psychos clutch.
Lifting his head, he looked at the piano that sat in front of him. Lifting the cover he slid his fingers across the keys. It had been so long since he had played the piano. But it all came back to him like he had stopped playing just yesterday.
Lifting his fingers, he started to play Chopin's 'Prelude Op28 n24'. He remembered how his parents had been so proud of him in his accomplishment. After all he had master this piece a year after he had begun playing. At exactly six years old. Not only were his parents stunned but so was his instructor. Not only had Naruto's piano playing been precise almost like the original but it had just as much soul in it. It was not just something that had been attained by practice and no soul but attained by hard work and it actually had feeling. Any teacher would be proud to know that their protégée had learned to play with their heart. And at the age of six no less. From then on he had been known for his genius in music. Not only had he mastered the piano but so had he of the violin and the flute, along with his uncanny ability to sing like an angel. He was known well among the high classes. But it had all come to a stop after he had been taken away.
He had been forced to play his instrument day in and day out for that man. His fingers going raw and his voice as well. He had lost all interest in anything musicale. Even more his parents had backed him up. They supported him even though they had wished he would continue. Not for others but for himself. They had known that he had took refuge in his talents and knew that he loved being able to accomplish harder and harder pieces. But that still wouldn't phase him. So he put away his books and left the music world. No one in his school even knew that he could play. It was his little secret.
Naruto was so engrossed in his playing that he hadn't even noticed that Sasuke had walked into the room.
---------
Sasuke had watched the show in the cafeteria and was curious to know what that boy had wanted with the blond. Because from what he could tell from the little display was that the blond was not all that happy with the note that he had tried to give him. But what surprised him even more was him smiling it off like nothing happened and guiding him away from the cafeteria.
Dumping his tray he followed them, losing sight only for a second which was a dear second since he hadn't been able to find Naruto. That is not until he had been wandering the halls and had heard the sounds of a piano.
Finding his way he found himself by an empty music room, well empty not considering the blond composer at the piano bench. He had stood there for a while taking in the music that ran through the room. He knew right away what piece it was and how the maestro was and was impressed to say the least. From what he knew this piece was not all that easy. But the blond played it beautifully. Almost as if it was he who had wrote it.
Stepping forward he noticed the blond had yet to notice him even though he was already all the way in the room. His eyes roamed to the boys face. It was so happy looking a smile on his lips and his eyes completely closed. From where he stood the blond had his own world and no one was allowed to enter. He looked completely serene, as if nothing could phase him. Taking one step closer he saw the blond finish up the last count and slowly lay his hands on the keys. Opening his eyes to finally rest them on the Uchiha.
Sasuke could tell he was stunned to say the least. His eyes had widened as soon as they had landed on him, and they seemed to look worried or in the slightest scared. All this did for Sasuke was make him all the more curious.
"Hey Dobe, I didn't know you could play the piano?"he watched as his voice snapped the boy out of whatever stunned state he was in.
"Yea well, what does it matter to you if I play the piano, Teme?"his voice was filled with mockery and malice. Like he was trying to be cold but not at the same time.
"Oh I never said there was anything wrong with it, it's just I didn't know an idiot like you could play something so difficult and actually make it sound presentable."He saw Naruto flinch and could swear he saw a vein pop on the side of his head.
"What the hell do you know Teme?! And quit Calling me Dobe!" Sasuke could hear the frustration in his voice and only smirked when Naruto closed the piano and pushed him to the side when he walked by him. Snickering to himself he followed the blond out. As long as he was acting this way he was fine. After all a mad and fizzing Naruto was a fun sight to see.
---------
Naruto had long since gotten rid of the nuisance called Sasuke. After yelling at him to quit following him and stalking him, he had stalked off. Not exactly sure where he was going to go. All of the halls seemed the same to him to begin with so he decided now was as goos as time to actually explore the school that he had come to know and love, well not exactly love but yea.
Glancing to his side, he mentally checked that he was now in front of the cafeteria. Figures his stomach was rumbling anyway and it wouldn't hurt to get a late night snack. Blinking his eyes he remembered he didn't even know what time it was.
Scanning the dark dining hall, he found the clock that adorned the south wall. Blinking he made out the numbers. It was only 9:45 p.m. Making a wowed face he chuckled to him self it had only been like an hour and a half since he had eaten. Man was his stomach being a pain. Shrugging he made his way to the kitchen and grabbed a few goodies. Smiling he scurried out of the kitchen. All of his favorite sweets in tow.
Now once agin he was walking the halls, it amazed him how big the school actually was. Thinking back, he remembered what it was like when he had first got here.
Flash backwoooo!!!!
Naruto sighed when he had gotten the acceptant sheet from his soon to be school Toriyama Private. (I realized I had yet to name the school. Whoops XP.) He knew it was all prestigious and what not but the exam was a little of a let down. Sure he was smart so sue him but he had hopped a little that it would have been at least a little challenging. But it was just dumb and expecting.
Sighing once more he looked out of his car window. The woods seemed too only get thicker and thicker. Apparently they were trying to rase lumberjacks at this school. Stifling a laugh, he stared at the sky. At least he would be able to see all of the stars at night. Not an obscured night sky by the means of city lights.
"Ne? Iruka when are we going to be there. Im starting to think this is all a hoax and there's really nothing out here."Swivelling his eyes to the man driving he waited fro an answer.
"I assure you Naruto-sama that there is indeed a school out here." Peering in the rear view mirror, he got a disbelieving look. "After all I will be working there as well. And im sure they wouldn't send a new employee on a wild goose chase. Right?" he smiled as he looked back at the road.
"Whatever you say Iruka. And stop using sama. Jeez."Turning back to the window, he let out a huff. When was the older man going to understand that he didn't have to be so formal with him especially when they were alone together.
The ride seemed to take forever. As for Naruto he had kept quite the rest of the trip and only opened his mouth when he yawned.
"Naruto-sama we are here."
"FINALLY! Oh my god I thought we were never going to get here!" turning his attention away from the book he had in his lap he looked out the window. Gasping at what he saw.
In front of them was the biggest school he had ever seen. Well except for the one he had seen in England but that was another story.
This place was huge. It looked like a stone castle. Which it probably was considering that it was located in the middle of no where.
His eyes never left the road in front of him as they pulled into the turn around area. Shaking his head he once again tried to not look so stunned. Stepping out of the car he got an even better look at the school.
It was about four storeys high and forever long. The whole place was made of stone with a huge statue of some man in the middle of the entry way. The stairs weren't all that incredible. Seeing as they were just like any other schools. But the whole fact that it was an old castle was what was cool.
"Yo! Naruto! How you been man. I haven't seen you in like forever."Said a voice that was running down the stairs and smacking right into Naruto.
Stunned as to who would be hugging him and let alone know his name he slowly turned his head only to see none other than his bud Kiba.
"Kiba! Dude you are so right it has been to long." He began to chuckle as he had pushed off the dog boy. "You still hanging with all of those dogs of yours. Not to mention that mutt Akamaru." And what he heard proved him right. Cause what popped out of Kiba's coat was none other than Akamaru. "Speak of the devil."
Kiba and he had hit it off right from the start. Both of them laughing and smiling just like old times. Kiba had even helped him move his stuff into the dorms. Which were just as huge as the school. He had found out that Kiba was on the third while Naruto was on the second.
After everything had been put away, Naruto had met up with Kiba in the cafeteria. The dog boy had then in turn introduced him to Shikamaru, Choji, Lee, and Shino. What he found out was that Shino and Kiba had been friends since they were little while it was the same for Choji and Shika. It was fun to get to know people and it was especially easy for him to make friends.
As the year had gone by Naruto had become better friends with everyone and if you didn't know better you would have suspected that they had been friends all along.
They had even started to get new friends, like Sakura and Ino, who would occasionally come and sit with them during lunch. But it didn't end there. About a month after school had started, Naruto had gotten the biggest surprise of his life.
It had all happened one day when he was on his way back to his class from the principles. Out of the corner of his eye he had seen a flash of red. Curiosity getting the better of him, he went to check it out.
Rounding the corner he stealthily made his way to the office and low and beholds the almighty savior had given him a big surprise. Yes he did.
Standing at the counter was a red head that looked to be wearing eye make up and had no eyebrows. He was slouching in a manner that made him look deadly. But the blond didn't even care. He was off and running. Right to that kid.
"GAARA!!!!!!"the boy had no chance what so ever to doge the hug that soon consumed him. And if he had not known who the voice was he would have absolutely clobbered the boy that was now glommping him. But to Naruto's safety he knew who it was.
"Naruto."Regaining his footing, he looked down at the blond boy to look him in the eyes. "How have you been?"he saw Naruto eyes smile at him as he released him and backed away a little but still holding onto the redhead's arm.
"Dude I've been doing great! How have you been man? Its been so long, I had to survive a whole three months without you."He smiled as he saw the redhead nod in his direction.
Naruto had been so happy to see that Gaara was coming to his school. It would make things so much easier. Well that would only be true if the redhead would actually stay out of trouble this time. Since everywhere he went he would get in trouble and have to go to jouvie for a couple of weeks. But then he would be back and still the same.
Originally they had met in elementary school and had been good friends since. It appeared to them that they were alike more than they knew. He, just like Naruto, had a secret that no one else knew. But his had gotten him to a little more than his fare share of trouble. What with teasing and what not. But it had all changed when the bright ball of fun had entered their school and befriended the outcasted and moody red. And now they were inseparable.
After meeting Gaara in the office they had met up later when he was done registering. Naruto had introduced him to all of his friends and they had taken him in. Another month went by and everything was going smoothly. That was until Gaara got into a another fight and was sent to jouvie again. This time a little longer than the other time since he had used a completely harmless object to harm the opponent. Say like a tin tea cup. Yea everyone was a little stunned but sort of figured. Its not like Gaara was average to say the least.
Then everything went haywire when the new kid showed up.
End of flash backwoooooo!!
Naruto hadn't even noticed where he was going when he was walking down memory lane. Ending the memories, he brought himself back to reality. Blinking in confusion to where he was.
He was surrounded by forest and there was nothing around him. Worrying a little, he made a full circle. Sighing in relief when he saw the lights from the school. At least he wasn't utterly lost in the middle of no where.
Turning his attention to what was in front of him he continued to walk forward. Making sure to keep the lights in sight.
So far he had found nothing interesting in his ten minute walk. Just as he was about to turn around something caught his eye. Creeping to a tip toe, he made his way to a little pond. Gasping when he heard the sounds of a waterfall. But what got him the most was the fact that there was a bright orange and red fox in the clearing.
Stepping a little closer, he made sure not to make any sudden movements.
The fox was absolutely gorgeous. Its fur looked so soft and it was the perfect combination between orange and red. Stepping a little closer, he flinched when he heard the sound of a twig snapping beneath his feet. But was soon a little terrified when he saw the fox turn toward him. Its eyes were red. A blood red that seemed to entrance Naruto.
Keeping his eyes on the fox, they widened considerably when the fox started to walk toward him. It had a gapping wound in its chest. And it looked as if it didn't care. Throwing away all sense of safety Naruto dashed to the fox. A little surprised it didn't turn tail and run. Instead sitting down and waiting for Naruto to get to it.
"Oh no you poor thing."Naruto's voice was filled with sadness as he looked over the fox. It had sat there and let him come up to it and touch it. Pulling off his jacket he pulled of f the white shirt and ripped it into strips. Tying them around the now laying fox. The blood soaking through every layer.
"I need to get you back to the dorms. You need some help."Picking up the fox no longer surprised to its unusual behavior he ran all the way to the dorms. Not stopping once. It was like he had all this new energy flowing through him.
Looking down at the fox he smiled, this one little animal reminded him so much of the pet he used to have when he was little. Only back then he had not been able to save it. But this time it would be different he would save this one and heel him back up.
Taking his eyes off of the fox, he continued running. Not noticing that the fox was now wide awake and if you had looked closer. You would have almost sworn it had a happy and familiar look in its eye.

Me: Yay new chapter. Hooray for me!
Naruto: yep good for you.
Me: um just to let ya'll know, I'm sorry if I keep on making new mysteries and what not. I sort of surprised myself when I wrote the fox part. It was totally unplanned. Well all of my writing is unplanned. But it was even more so. I'll most likely explain it in the next chapter. And I'm expecting it to not take so long.
Cause I am BURNING!!!!(Pumps fist in air)
Naruto: Um yea. Okay she's a freak. Anyway review please.
