Chapter 6.
Fall Upon me as they Form.
In the end, Sasuke was kindly asked to proceed to Tsunade's office once his lesson was over. And so at three forty he moodily swung the labs door open and made his way to the room on the second floor of the main building.
After about an hour of listening to the woman go over his behaviour and her concerns for his future as well as worries over Sasuke's family situation, the boy was allowed to leave.
Of course by this time there was no one left except the janitor who crept about in the shadows.
He walked up to the third floor and retrieved his backpack from his lime green locker which incidentally happened to bare the number thirteen. He looked sceptically at the picture of his family that stood on the top shelf. Of course, this was part of his emotional baggage that he kept hidden from the rest of the world.
On the picture his three year old counterpart sat on his fathers shoulders, his mother holding the disgruntled looking Itachi in a forced embrace.
Now his father was dead.
He nearly choked at the thought of the new head of the family being his homosexual brother, the end of the Uchiha linage.
Apparently, during his chat with the headmaster…well, mistress, the weather had had a mood swing and the dark clouds that rolled across the sky threatened to become quite a nuisance as Sasuke thought about his walk home.
As he walked out to the main gate, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice approaching object.
It really did hurt when a helmet hit ones head.
He spun around, his right hand already set into the 'fuck you' position when he noticed that his offender had blond hair.
And was non other than Uzumaki.
'This morning when you woke up, was your goal to make my life hell?'-growled Sasuke, trying to sound menacing though in truth relieved at the sight of his almost friend.
Naruto laughed and seemed to blank out the Glare of a Thousand Deaths.
'I was getting bored waiting.'-he explained as he bent down and lifted up the red helmet.-'You ready to go back to the castle Prince Sasuke?'-he joked, his voice taking a higher note.
'Please don't imitate Sakura…or Ino…or one of those things.'
Once again Naruto laughed, tilting his head back. At this very moment Sasuke had to wonder if there had been any vampires in the Uchiha clan, Naruto's neck seemed so…enticing.
'I wish I had people falling over each other just to seat next to me.'-produced the blond after a while. Only now did Sasuke notice that Naruto, though about the same height as him, was much larger and wider.
'I want you to take me somewhere.'-said Sasuke, surprising himself at the boldness of the statement. No, it hadn't been the boldness that shocked him, it was the fact that for the last few days he hadn't been acting like himself and this was further proof of that. He felt like such a loser, standing there and being all cute.
'Where?'
Sasuke thought for a moment.
'Camden.'-he said, naming an area of London most liked by Goths, rebels and rockers.-'I have some business there.'
Naruto didn't ask any questions, as Sasuke had noticed, that was one of the good qualities and things that he appreciated. The blond boy turned out to be calm and very quiet up close opposed to the hurricane of noise that he presented himself to be.
The bike was started up and Sasuke was about to get on when Naruto handed him something wrapped in a leather pouch. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be an iPod.
Sasuke's iPod.
He took it, his movements slightly shaky as something inside of him threatened to burst. He didn't ask any questions either, not about the hospital incident or this. He was just thankful.
Relief swept over him as he put on his earphones and pressed play as he sat behind Naruto.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
Naruto.
They sat on the bridge that hung over the main street, the trains rushing past behind them. In the intervals of the roaring, Naruto would ask random questions in a bid to cheer Sasuke up.
'Your favourite Movie?'
'Chopper.'
'That to do with motorcycles? Mine's probably Tokyo Drift.'
Sasuke's interest was peeked.
'The Fast and the Furious? Itachi says it's a load of bull and that Japanese people don't lose to sad American men who try to pose as eighteen when they look like they're in their late thirties.'
Naruto agreed with Sasuke's brother, the main guy in that film did look old.
'Favourite colour?'-resumed the blond.
'Yours is orange I take it.'-said Sasuke avoiding the question.
'That's not an answer!'
'That's a stupid question and I refuse to answer it.'
'How is it stupid?'
Sasuke laughed as Naruto pouted.
'I'm not five to have a favourite colour.'
There was an uncomfortable moment of silence. Well, it wasn't really silence since a train had passed by but Sasuke felt the tension rise. He had to convince himself for about five minutes to apologize for being harsh when he was saved by Naruto's sudden exclamation.
'Those guys just kicked over my bike!'-he shouted, jumping down onto the railings below. He rushed over to the crowd of bikers who were circling the fallen bike like vultures.
Sasuke recognised the graffiti like wings on the bikes and leather jacket of the bikers. The Angels. He cursed as he realised the stupidity of the situation. Both his arms were in casts, his face bruised and his persona lacking his RunAway.
To make matters worse, Naruto began shouting at them. Sasuke jumped down and thanked God that he hadn't tripped. As he approached the centre of commotion he began to recognise some of the members.
Shino and Kiba, the two were from their school.
There was also Kabuto but he was one of the older guys.
The crowd parted when they noticed Sasuke, some of the younger members went as far as to stop their bikes as a sign of respect. Naruto was stunned by this show of recognition. He had of course heard of the Sharingan but he had assumed that the name was for show and the gang a myth.
'He's on our turf.'-came the explanation.
Both boys turned and were greeted by a guy dressed in a black trench-coat with a medical mask over his mouth. He had black hair that parted in the middle to reveal sunglasses with cracked lenses. Sasuke honoured him with a 'Hn' and nodded towards the bike.
'He's my ride.'-he said simply.
'So he is.'-came the voice again, amused as the owner of it tilted his head to the side.
Naruto pulled up the bike like gravity didn't exist and motioned for Sasuke to get on.
'You don't want a war, Angel.'
And with that said he got on, his heart rate rising by the second.
'With you and your two watchdogs? Easy Sharingan, don't be scaring the children before bedtime.'
Naruto's back tensed as he felt Sasuke lean forward and whisper the instructions to him. He started up the bike and forced it to balance on the hind wheel as they moved forward; he pulled the bike to the right and as the front landed began to make a circle around the twenty-something gathering of Angles.
Sasuke shouted something that sounded like 'Try and keep up, Jack off!' and made a sign for Naruto to head towards the highway.
'I'll kill him for this.'-muttered Sasuke, his thought now completely concentrated on the performance he was going to hold just for Naruto.
No one insulted Sharingan no Sasuke.
