Disclaimer: Thank God I don't own Naruto. If I did, the manga updates would be once per year! XD

.

A/N: Wow… this is embarrassing… Je suis desolée. (I'm taking French… I still suck at it) … I wrote last time that I would try to write one chapter per week… and it's been a month. :P I'm really sorry. I don't have any new excuses to tell you. I get sick a lot and college got busy.

Anyways I wrote new chapters. I will upload the other one next week so Ill have time to edit it, write another one and do more college stuff. I know this chapter isn't much and I hope I haven't disappointed you, but please enjoy if you can. This one is more of an introduction of what is to come later (smexy stuff).

Here's the quote of the day to prepare a new wave of chapters. (It's a slow tide :P)

"Things of the past are already gone

And things to be,

Distant beyond imagining."- Ch'ing Kung

C.C: *opens front door* WOOOHOOO!KIRAAA! WE'RE HOOOOME! *slams door shut* XD

Alex: Shhhhh! Not so loud! The sun hasn't even risen up yet.

C.C. Pffft! Who cares? I WANNA SEE MY BABY!... Besides, I want to gloat about all the stuff we brought with us. I even got her something this time!

Alex: Wait… I thought we both agreed that this convention's content was to mature for her. Wasn't that the whole reason for leaving her at home in the first place?

C.C: Don't worry *lays down bags on the floor*; I got her something a girl is NEVER too early to have. *evil grin*

Alex: Hold on, what's that? …There's a trace of papers on the living room floor. *picks up one* they look like… Kira's disturbing drawings.

C.C.: Let me see! This one looks like… two badly drawn stick men inside a cheap car…Heading towards... a cliff? Oh Kira, when are you ever NOT gonna suck at drawing?

Alex: It's not a drawing; it's more of a doodle. *sighs* I believe our over-enthusiastic daughter is angry with us for leaving her behind.

C.C: Nahh, I think she was just failing at art. What makes you think that?

Alex: On the top left of the paper. It says "Plan Num. 16 to Exact Revenge on Parents: Loosen the car brakes".

C.C. Oh… Well that's because she hasn't seen what I've brought her yet!

Alex: Look, this other paper has the two stick men, which I assume to be us, laid down in the middle of what looks like a demonic offering….

C.C: Really? That looks more like an alchemy circle from FMA. Just ignore it. Let's go find her!

Alex: Aren't you worried? I think one of them is written in blood. She must have got that from me. *stares at his wrist's scars* ... I miss being her age…

C.C.: I'm sure she's fine. She probably had a "Home Alone" moment, cracked up a little, ate too much pizza and stayed up late hearing the story chapter I recorded for her! *squeals* I really want to show her what I got for her!

Alex: Well, what is it?

C.C.: None….of…your….businesssssssssssss!. *runs upstairs* KIRAAA!

Alex: *sighs* …..You can come out now from under the sofa. I can see the light reflected from the kunai.

Kira: Darn it! *crawls out* I almost had you-

Alex: No you didn't.

Kira: FINE! But just you wait... *points menacingly* when you least expect it, I WILL-

C.C.: KIRAAAA! *hugs+glomps* YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT I GOT YOU!

Kira: I DIDN'T SLEEP SO WHO GIVES A DAMN! GO FUCK YOURSELF!

C.C.: ….what? … Did you just… raise your voice at me? *evil aura emerging*

Kira: uhh..umm

Alex: Kira… run….

C.C.: TOO LATE! *drags by hair*

Kira: AHHH! IM SORRY, SORRY, IM SORRY! BUT THE TAPE LEFT ME TRAUMATIZED AND-

C.C.: So... You didn't like the last chapter of my story…

Kira: No! That's not what I meant! I-

C.C: SILENCE!

Kira: ….. O.O….

Alex: I'll be upstairs… Hiding... *leaves*

C.C.: Now... my sweet daughter…..

Kira: Why is your eye twitching like that?

C.C. I was planning to give you something I know you would have loved and used to your heart's content. But due to your sudden rebellious outburst I'll make you sit through a special All-Day-Story-Telling by moi.

Kira: Uhh…How's that a punishment? And FYI, I've been rebellious since age 2, plus you're the one that left that thing recorde-OUCH! My hair! Ok! Ok! ...I'll listen!

...

After waking up to such a bizarre nightmare, Naruto received a serious scolding from his mother. Turns out he woke up screaming at 5:53 am, a few minutes earlier than what his mother is used to waking up. He washed off his arm and put on a jacket to cover up the scratches. He had already decided that it was just a mere coincidence and came to the conclusion that a cat had snuck into his room late at night, which is why he dreamed of voices, and scratches. But he still blamed his video games and weird movies for most of it. Especially after hanging out with a mermaid-… sorry, I meant merman.

Still he wondered, "Why did the topic of my past even came up in that dream? I haven't thought about it for so long…". Of course he just shook his head and denied any connection.

To avoid any further inconvenience or annoyance, Naruto left at 6:30am biting on a piece of toast. He was too tired and it was too early to arrive at school, so he somehow found himself headed towards the beach, but decided to stop midway as last night's memories began raising questions.

"What am I doing? Why did I even went back to see him after he saved me? Any normal person would have just reported that to some authorities, sold him to science or pretended it never even happened."

"…."

"Guess I'm not that normal after all."

He kept clenching his fists looking for a reasonable answer.

"Well… thanks to my father I pretty much hate the authorities. And I'm not interested in money or science. But I could have just pretended it never happened, like everything else in my life. So what the hell was I expecting from this? What should I do now?"

The boy was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone was approaching him from behind until he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to look back and…

"AHH! WHAT THE HELL!"

…received an instant head-butt. ( :P )

"NARUTOOOOOOO!" Suddenly an extremely cheerful Eskimo jacket was hugging and shaking him around. "Long time no see! So this is where you moved to? Bet you never thought you'd see me again, right? Ha!" He kept laughing out loud, tugging and shaking.

"STOP IT!" Naruto brushed the guy off and walked a few steps back... Still panting from the heart attack he just endured. "Who the hell are you?"

"Ha-ha, nice one. Wait, is that a school uniform you're wearing? What the hell, Naruto? XD" He patted the blond boy in the back while still holding that annoying laugh.

"I said STOP! And how do you know my name!"

"Wait, you're actually serious? It's me, Kiba!" There stood a proud tall teenager wearing a huge Eskimo jacket, Bermuda pants and some sandals.

"… Never heard of you."

"Oh come on, Stop kidding. We're best buds!"

"…I think your confusing me with… anyone else."

"Seriously, Naruto? We've been to the same school ever since I can remember…not to mention that we were in the same class… for five years!"

"…Nope. Don't remember."

The Eskimo jacket let out a sight as he took off his hood and revealed his face to the now wide-eye blonde.

"Do you remember me NOW?"

As soon as Naruto saw those small red marks under the eyes of the tanned skinned boy with short brown hair and fang-like teeth….

"I-I- INUZUKA, KIBA?"

Yes… he remembered. Suddenly memories of wedgies, noogies and a growing fear towards annoying dogs came into Naruto's head. After all, who can forget their first school bully?

"SEE? I knew you wouldn't forget me!"

That wide grin and those sharp eyes were pretty much what Naruto least needed to see now. Although curious of why he was here, Naruto just wasn't in the mood, so he tried his best to ignore it. His serious blue eyes looked towards the left. "Sadly no, I haven't forgotten you. But at least I forgot your name and that's some improvement, right? Now if you'll excuse me, I-"

"Hey, what's that suppose to mean? I'm trying to be nice, you know. I even went to the trouble of looking for my old friend as soon as I heard you were also transferred to the school here, so we could hang out and...-

"Wait …Did you just say…also transferred? … And hang out? …as in your staying …around me …in the same school ...again!"

"Yep! : ) although I don't think I could handle that uniform."

"It's just a white polo shirt and black pants and… WHAT? Out of all other places in the world, WHY THE HELL HERE?

Kiba leaned back into a tree that was close while he explained calmly, as if this was the most natural thing in the world. "Apparently this town's environment suits my family's taste better than the city." He started picking some dirt out of his fingernails. "Sure it's a little dull and stuck up, but it's close to the beach and they got a great education system!" A bit of sarcasm could be heard on that last comment.

"Environment …Great education system? Is this coming from the same dude that made bullying into a club? The guy who made a living out of cheating from me? The smart-ass who skipped a whole month of classes because he took seriously the "No Dogs Allowed" sign, and then convinced the school psychologist that it was that kind of narrow-minded and discriminatory treatment towards other creatures what influenced his wild behavior and could eventually awaken thoughts of suicide?"

"Yes and thank you…" Of course, he started to bow down expecting a hand of applause. "Thanks for reminding me how awesome I am."

"…No."

"No what?"

"No, I won't let you hang around me."

"Why? Are you too popular or something?"

"No. I'm pretty sure most of them either hate me or I creep them out. But at least I'm not the class-clown or pity case. Just the out-of-town-weirdo who gets blamed for everything. Although that title may be passed down to you now, so thanks."

Naruto tightly grabbed his backpack and started to walk off. "Anyways I got a lot in my head right now, so just keep being your canine self away from me and find some other miserable kid to annoy- ugh!"

Now the blonde's head was being used to lean into, as Kiba's crossed arms were now covering Naruto's hair.

"You're still as short as ever." Kiba joked.

"…You didn't pay any attention to what I just said, didn't you?"

"…Why where you heading towards the beach at this hour anyways?"

"… I-…I wasn't heading towards the beach!" He was trying to push the other's arms off of his head. "And I can get up early if I want to! Now would you please get the fuck away from me already?"

"No can't do! I'm new around here; I don't know anyone yet and from what I've seen I don't think I'll even want to know anyone here."

After saying this with his usual cheerful joker tone, he grabbed Naruto by the collar, pulled him up and very seriously stated… "So for the time being, you are my one and only friend, like it or not…Deal with it!"

After releasing Naruto (who was about to shit his pants, if he didn't already peed himself) and placing him back on the floor, Inuzuka returned to his annoying self. "So buddy… were you going to skip class to go hang around the beach all day?" :)

"How can this get any worse?" The shortie thought as he sighed; now realizing his almost partial momentary peace at school was soon to be over. "I already told you I wasn't going t-"

"Yeah you were! What better way to welcome me than to show me around. Let's go!"

"No, wait!" At that moment Naruto wished he hadn't asked that taboo question, and tried his best to stop the brunette from dragging him.

"I can't go now! I… haven't eaten a full breakfast yet and uh... My parents would kill me if they ever find out I skipped! So let's just head to school and-"

The nervousness did not help at all in this hostage situation.

"Dude, you kind of suck at lying now. School starts at eight. Why are you so worried?"

"I'm NOT! Now let me go! The beach can get dangerous at this time of day and there are a lot weirdoes out there an-!"

"…. Why is your face so red all of a sudden?"

"It's the sun, I get sunburned REAL easily! Now cut it off and let's go to school."

Kiba brought his hand up to his chin and started to walk around Naruto in circles while closely looking at him… as if he was analyzing Naruto's very being.

"…what the hell are you doing now?" Asked the freaked out shrimp.

Kiba took a stop in front of Naruto and then pointed straight at him with glistening proud eyes. "I got it!"

"What?"

Kiba took one huge breath and rapidly stated…

"You had a fight with the girl you were dating because she wanted to take the next step and since you're afraid of commitment and are unsure of your feelings due to your messed up loveless life, you angrily ran off, leaving her alone and confused. Now you're afraid to face her thinking she might be too mad, and your even more afraid to face your true feelings, hence why your avoiding the one and only place you used to meet up; the Beach! But still your heart ended up leading you there anyways, letting you know that you can't always avoid these matters. Am I right?"

No 'awe' was loud enough to fully express Naruto's surprised complexion. Although mentioning the way his jaw dropped all the way down and that he was redder than any tomato is close enough to any other description.

"Dating?... Love?..what the hell..."

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? THAT ISNT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN ME AND...-" His eyes grew bigger as he stopped at that last word. But it was too late anyways. Kiba would not let him live this down...ever.

"OMG I KNEW IT! My canine love senses haven't failed me yet! You completely give off that pheromones smell, and the rest was easy to guess since you can be pretty predictable." ^_^

"Gosh I wish I could wipe that proud smirk off his face! And I smell like what?"

Naruto let out a sigh and tried to recover his calm state. "I already said nothing like that happened and-"

"I don't believe you. You're blushing so much of embarrassment its making me want to hug you!"

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

After various screams, punches, and other attempts of running away or at least trying to convince Kiba that nothing like that ever happened and that there was no one waiting for him at the beach, (Which all of them failed.)The brunette ended up dragging a struggling Naruto all the way to the beach.

"First a fish, now a dog... why the hell am I so fucking weak?"

.

...

.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was at the beach…sitting on a rock… completely depressed… (What is it with mermaids and rocks?) He really regretted not being able to walk, let alone run very well. If he could have, he would have chased after the boy, but he was too exhausted and at the same time scared of what happened that night.

"What did I do to him? Did it hurt him too much? He was so scared of me… He may not even come back…" His dull eyes suddenly took on a serious shine in them as he got up and stood on the rock. "Doesn't matter. If that happens I'll just search for him. I'll do whatever it takes, even if he refuses. I'll drag him down and… I know that somehow... he needs my help-

"Too bad his heroic thoughts got interrupted when he slipped and fell in the water. (lol I wanted him to fall)

His pissed of merman eyes slowly emerged from the water. "Ok… first I need to handle walking... then I'll proceed to chasing him."

After he swam back to shore and hid behind a rock to dry himself off, he looked for the pants Naruto brought him before, (He had hidden them under the sand) and started to practice walking... very slowly. Every time he began to wobble a little he kept reminding himself of Naruto, and that was enough motivation to recover the lost balance.

(A/N:*blushes* Naruto makes him stiff? .)

The morning was perfect. It was quiet, the view was beautiful and there weren't any people, except for an old couple that he's seen every morning ever since he arrived. "They seem to also enjoy this peaceful hour."

But as Sasuke walked further he noticed a boy sitting beside a huge pile of sand. As he got closer Sasuke also noticed the boy was digging a hole… a rather big hole... it looked like it could almost fit a body.

Curiosity got the best of him since he didn't know much about the local human customs, so thinking it might be helpful in the future, he walked towards the boy and stood next to him just to stare and find out more about it. The kid had on some long black pants and a matching black sweater. Sasuke thought the boy seemed as tall as Naruto, but his skin was paler, his hair reminded him of blood and his eyes had a color much like dirty sea water. Not to mention he had a strange mark on his forehead.

"…What?" The boy stopped messing with the sand and stared at Sasuke.

"Can I ask what you're doing?"

"No. not really."

"Is... there a reason for not telling me?"

"Cause it's pretty obvious that I'm digging a hole in the sand with my bare hands."

The merboy never thought he would meet someone who looked more indifferent than him. The stranger's expression hardly seemed to change at all as he talked.

"Um, I can see that. But why exactly? For what purpose?"

"Why not?"

Sasuke started to get annoyed, so he planned to just ignore the freak(look who's talking) and continue walking, until-

"You're not from around here. Who are you?"

Sasuke hesitated a bit, but then calmly answered in his what-do-you-care-I'm-better-than-you kind of attitude. (As always)

"I'm just a visitor, and I'm waiting for… a friend."

"A friend you say? ….You look pretty determined. How do I know you're not planning to murder someone?

They're eyes both met, like that of rivals during a showdown in an old western movie.

"Perhaps I am." Sasuke's eyes were now covered by his bangs, making the conversation even creepier than it already was. "How do I know you're not burying some corpse in that large hole?"

"I guess you'll never know" Answered the boy.

…

After 2 minutes of one hell of a creepy staring contest…

"You're interesting. We've been in the same place for more that 3 minutes and I haven't creeped you out yet." The weirdo reached his hand out for Sasuke's.

"….Likewise." Sasuke accepted the offer and both indifferent emo freaks shook hands in agreement.

(OMF the EmO Alliance! XD)

Sasuke then sat down beside the red-head, whom he learned was named Gaara, and randomly began helping him dig a deep hole in the sand that could now fit a coffin... for no apparent reason.

They began to talk about what emos talk about best… they're life's problems. Of course Sasuke did his best not to reveal the whole truth, so all Gaara got out of it was that Sasuke is a run-away homo in search for his secret lover with whom he recently fought. (This wasn't so far from the truth. ^_^)

In return Sasuke learned that Gaara had a problem following orders and fitting into society, so he decided to start all over by moving here. This was a little too vague for Sasuke, but when the other boy tried to explain more, his eyes got wide as he clenched his fists and looked over Sasuke. When Sasuke turned back to look, he also got wide-eyed.

.

...

.

Kiba kept dragging Naruto, even though they've already arrived at the beach, but Naruto still struggled from time to time.

"Seriously, give it up already, Naruto. How bad can she be?"

"I already told you it's NO ONE!"

"Sure it is." Kiba kept humming a happy tune as he dragged Naruto. But then, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? You're letting me go already, Inuzuka? …Hello? Eeeaaarth to Kibaaaaa!"

The blond tried moving his hand in front of Kiba to make him snap out of it, but then he himself got in the same state when he turned his head to look what awaited him.

.

...

.

"Hell no..." Said Gaara as he got up, signaled Sasuke goodbye and ran as fast as he could, all in less than 2 seconds, as he heard at the same time and speed a "HELL YEAH!" coming from the tanned boy that immediately chased after him.

...

C.C. There! That's all for now. You see? It wasn't so hard.

Kira: Haven't….eaten….for almost….10… hours…

C.C: That's what you get for not sleeping to plot revenge, for skipping breakfast and for trying to mess with your mommie. So what did you think this time?

Kira: What the hell happened anyways? Why did two new characters popped up so suddenly? Are you trying to do a GaaKiba? Or is it a KibaNaru? I want more SasuNaru! And its obvious Dad inspired you for that emo alliance scene, and-

C.C: Weren't you hungry and tired? -_-

Kira: Yes…yes I am. Thanks to you. *stares* I admit I lost the battle. But Mom…I haven't lost the war. *skips annoyingly* I'll be at the kitchen!

C.C.: sighs* I guess it's still too early to give that to her…

*Riiiiiiinnnng*

C.C.: I'll get it! *picks up phone* Hello, this is C.C. speaki- Mom? ...

-what do you mean?

No, I haven't send anything to y-

...

-What tape?

...

-No I didn't-!

...

-I swear it was just.!

…

-What! -No!

...

-You don't have to come; I swear I'm not-

…

-But Mom!

….

*hangs up*

AAARGH!

KIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

...

A/N: I divided this into 7 parts for reasons I can't recall right now. Please read. (At least the last one. Its important)

Well I hope that didn't suck as much as I think it did. XD I know it seemed out of the blue but I had to cut some parts and leave them for later. Plus I re-wrote this a couple of times, and I still think the descriptions and dialogues could use a bit more work, but I just didn't know exactly how and I didn't want to make you wait more. It's already been like one month.

Yes, Kira did send that last part of the "Bleach/Twister" recording to her Grandmother. That was her real revenge. You will find out why next chapter. And I know Gaara and Kiba seem… just plain weird and random. And they are. Most of the characters here are *hint, wink*, Freaks, some way or another. So… What did you think of the descriptions I gave them? What do you think their roles will be? What do you think happened at the end? I hope I didn't kill their personalities too much… because I actually like those characters. Specially Gaara *dreams*….. XD Don't hate yet. Just wait and see… or read.

Don't worry about the couples. This fic is SasuNaru, first! Abnormal Fairy tale, second! Random funny crap with a bit of drama in between, third...and in fourth place are other characters that might pop up :P. But their roles are all significant.

PLEASE notify me of anything you don't like, don't understand, or if you spot a mistake. Opinions are welcomed. Sorry for the long author notes too.

I promise more SasuNaru sweet and smexy stuff… and maybe a small attempt at NaruSasu, cause you know how annoyingly proud that hyper ninja can be, and I'm sure he's a bit tired of being the girlPFFT HE LOVES IT! SCREW IT! SASUNARU FTW! I'm not sure how to make a SasUKE anyways .… maybe…..

WARNING: After this chapter, expect only 1 or 2 others this month. I have to do some research for a new iconography investigation due April 5th. Sorry, but this one's crucial. I will continue more later on and will be wrapping this up in probably 5 or 6 more chapters. Please be patient.

Reviews are welcomed….pretty please? ... Any kind of affection you might want to show towards this story is welcome… even message threats to make me write faster. : ) I like Tough love. Merci mon amis! (pardon my french)
