Chapter 7 The Umbrella
The next day before school started Sakura stood on the steps before the student's who were waiting to go inside and get this over with. She cleared her throat.
"Who among you hates Naruto?" Sakura shouted. No one even paid attention to her. "Come on people!" She shouted. "He's the one responsible for yesterday's fiasco!"
Some of them looked up then. They were still sore that someone said that their loving home was a lie. Now they would get revenge.
"For those of you who hate Naruto join me up here!" This time fifteen children marched up the steps. Sakura couldn't help but smile.
-------
Sasuke and Naruto were only a minute late to school. Once they ran inside the final bell rang and they reached their class. Naruto could feel their eyes baring down on him, making him feel uncomfortable. As though he was back in Kyuubi's care.
Sasuke noticed several people in their classroom look at Naruto with almost Uchiha intensity.
Naruto felt something running through his body. Something he had not felt since he fell. He shivered, looking around the room. Noticing that it was the children. He had to breathe a sigh of relief at that. If it was who he was thinking of, then it would be worse.
"Class!" The teacher shouted. "Pay attention! Now Sasuke, answer the question."
"Nine."
"Very good." He said and went back to teaching.
-------
It was like that in every class. And each time Sasuke wanted to hold his star every time he shuttered and beat the ones responsible. But the teachers would have sent him to the principal's office, and he didn't want to do something as useless as that again.
During lunch Sakura and her followers marched over to Sasuke's table. "What do you want?" Sasuke spat, venom lacing every word.
Sakura pointed at Naruto and three of them walked towards him and grabbed him by the arms and dragged him away.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto!" Sasuke stood from his bench seat and took a step towards the blonde. But three others blocked his path and pushed him back down.
Sakura sat next to him. She placed her elbow on the table and her hand to support her head. "So, Sasuke." She was cut off.
"Shut up!" He tried getting up, but several hands were holding onto his shoulders. He wriggled but they did not budge. Then he saw Mr. Shisen walking towards the cafeteria.
"Mr. Shisen! Help Naruto!" Sasuke shouted.
Mr. Shisen looked over at Sasuke. "Sakura!" He shouted. "What have you done?"
Sakura looked over at him and smiled. "Nothing!"
Mr. Shisen looked at Sasuke. "Which way?"
Sasuke pointed and he was off.
-------
"This'll teach you." One said.
"But yesterday wasn't my fault!" Naruto shouted after hearing their reasons why they were doing this.
They half-believed him. But they were just mad about yesterday that they forgot about Ms. Haruhi and Sakura's participation in that. So they went through with it.
They walked towards the dumpster. One went on his hands and knees and another stood on him, opened the lid, and they tossed Naruto in.
-------
Mr. Shisen saw a small group of students walk away from the dumpster that was out front for the garbage truck that was rumbling down the street towards the school.
He quickly ran towards it and opened the lid. He saw Naruto sprawled on top of the trash. He held out his hand.
"Grab onto me, Naruto." He said. "I'm going to pull you up."
Naruto shook his head and grabbed onto the hand. Mr. Shisen pulled him up.
-------
"So Sasuke." Sakura said fluttering her eyelashes. "Do you wanna go out on Saturday?"
Sasuke tried to get out of their grasp. And then shouted. "Never!"
"Aw, Sasuke." She said. "I know you're shy. You can answer truthfully. I know you want to go to the movies or something with me."
"All I want to do with you is take you to an asylum."
"Oh, Sasuke." She said. "You are such a tease."
"Sakura!" Mr. Shisen shouted. "You and your friends. In my office. Now! That goes triple for the ones who threw Naruto in the trash!"
Out of fear they all stepped foreward.
"Because you have no care about feelings and the like." Mr. Shisen said. "You are all expelled for two months!" He shouted. Everyone in a ten foot radius heard him. "Now march into my office for the paperwork!"
They all complied, grumbling about Sakura.
-------
After school, Sasuke didn't walk home hand-in-hand with Naruto like usual. They walked side-by-side, but Sasuke was making sure that no one would take Naruto away again.
Once they reached the mansion, Sasuke had a fit. "I hate them!" He shouted. "I hate them! I hate them! I hate them!" He threw things onto the ground, kicked furniture, and cried as he chanted that over-and-over again.
"Sasuke!" Naruo shouted, wrapping his arm over his shoulders. "Relax."
Sasuke cried on Naruto's shoulder. "I just want to be left alone. Even if it means leaving this mansion."
"Umbrella." Naruto said. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Why is it that only you can hold it?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto diverted his gaze. Sasuke held onto the blonde's chin and raised his head until they were eye-to-eye.
"I've been keeping a few things from you." Naruto said sadly.
"Why?" Sasuke asked.
"One was so you wouldn't freak out." Naruto said. "And this was because I never thought this would happen."
"Explain." Sasuke said.
"The umbrella is something we get from our angel upon impact with the Earth." Naruto said. "It's protocol. Anyway. It is incase we land far from our human. It takes you where ever your human is." Naruto sighed. "But if anyone else opens it it goes berserk. Flying anyway it can so the intruder falls off."
Sasuke had already ran off looking for the embrella. He barely heard the other half about intruders.
He grabbed onto in and ran down the stairs into the hall. "Naruto I have your umbrella. I want to leave now!" Naruto ran towards him and shouted. "Stop! Don't open it!"
But Sasuke already opened it and it flew around the house until it flew into the living room and broke a window.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.
Sasuke screamed as he flew up towards the stars.
Someone wanted to meet him.
