Konoha High – The Girl with the Violin (A Sasuke Love Story) Chapter 6: I'm Too Young and Handsome to go to Jail!

"I still can't believe she's blackmailing you into working with that jerk."

"Call it what you want Temari, but it's not gonna change the fact that I'm stuck with him." I explained to her; she was still upset over the situation.

"How can I help you ladies today?" A salesclerk came up to us and asked politely. Temari and I had gone over to the music store after school today. It was finally the weekend so it gave me the chance to give my instrument a tune up. "Yeah, I need to get my bow rehaired. It's getting pretty thin." I said, opening the case and pulling out the wooden stick. "Oh, and could you give the inside of my violin a look at? The sound's starting to come off a little grainy." He slid the case closer to him and picked up the violin to examine it. The young man lifted it up to the light, tilting it every which way to find the problem.

"Not a problem, miss. It appears the sound post is a little bent. We'll have to keep it over night to repair it, is that alright with you?"

"Sure thing." I smiled at the cashier and proceeded to open my wallet. As I did Temari leaned lazily leaned back on the counter.

"So why don't you just drop the class?" she continued to press on with the subject. I let out an irritated sigh at the blonde's persistence. "I'd get in trouble for quitting, you know how my dad is. He'd be all 'Nausicaa, Kamiya's never quit anything. Do you think I became a top notch music producer by giving up'" Temari chuckled at the impersonation of my dad. It was true, if I ever quit anything I'd get this never ending lecture about how he overcame all these obstacles and followed his dream. I wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't for the fact that he went on for hours.

I pulled out some cash and gave it to the man. "And besides," I continued, "I'm a straight-A student and a dropped class would ruin my transcript." The cashier came back and handed me the change. I thanked him and we left the store.

Ping

Temari's cell phone went off. She stopped walking and dug into her pocket. "Hinata wants us to go over to the mall, everyone's over there at the food court." she said reading the text message. "Sounds like a plan my man" I laughed. She sighed and shook her head at me. "You're real weird you know that?" I smiled. "And proud of it too!" Both of us laughed and linked our arms together, skipping off to the mall to meet our friends; receiving a few looks along the way.

Gaara's POV

"Did you text Temari, Hinata?" Naruto asked the timed girl. "Y-Yes, she said they were on their way."

I sat there and messed around with the straw from my smoothie. Hanging out at the food court wasn't really my kind of thing. It was too loud and crowded with people that had nothing better to do with their lives. The only reason I agreed to come was because Naruto dragged me out of my house. He's a good friend and all but sometimes I just wanted to punch him in the face.

"Outta the way losers!" I looked over and saw none other than Karin and her clones pushing their way through a group of scared junior high girls. Her beady eyes scanned the room and spotted us. "Where's your geeky little friend, Kyoko?" She teased in her scratchy voice as she got over to the table we were all seated at. Kyoko just sat there drinking her smoothie with a calm look on her face, not even bothering to look up. "None of your damn business."

Karin had been torturing Nausicaa this whole week. She's insulted her, shoved her in the halls, and if that wasn't satisfying enough for her, the other day at lunch she threw her drink in Nausicaa's face. It took all of us to keep Nausicaa from killing her.

"Is she too embarrassed to show her pathetic face around here after what happened at lunch?" Sakuya brought up the incident again, just asking to get slapped. The other two laughed at their friend's comment. "Just go away will you, we're fed up with all your crap." Naruto said as he got up from the table to go throw away his cup.

Kankuro's POV

"I think I fried my brain." I said letting myself fall on the couch in Sasuke's basement. We had been at his house since we got outta school and we haven't rehearsed at all! Why? Because we can't think of a freakin' new song!

"You can't fry what you don't have." Kiba insulted me, cockily putting his hands behind his head. I grabbed the pillow next to me and threw it at him. "Why you bastard!" He jumped at me and next thing you know we were on the floor wrestling. "Take back what you said Kiba!" I threatened, sitting on his back and folding his arm behind him. "Ow, ow, OOWWW! You'll never make me!" he struggled to get free.

"As much as I enjoy watching you two ladies fight, we really need to get started on writing a new song." Neji stated, grabbing a bottle of water out of the mini fridge in the room. I shoved Kiba's face into the ground before getting up and dusting myself off. "Dude, you fight as bad as my cousin Takeshi." I mocked Kiba. He stood up and rubbed his arm. "Isn't you cousin a pacifist, though?" Neji asked. "He's that thing babies suck on?" Kiba scratched his head confused. "No dude, that's a pedophile." I corrected him. "I think you mean pacifier." Neji retorted smartly. "Oh, I was thinking of something totally different." I replied.

"Alright you idiots, shut up!" Sasuke yelled rubbing his temples with his fingers. He laid down his guitar on the amp next to him. "You guys are giving me a migraine." Sasuke looked more irritated than usual. I guess I can't blame him, first being forced to work with Nausicaa and then having a serious episode of writer's block. I'd probably have a melt down too. "Look man, you've been under some crazy stress. Why don't we just go to the mall and get some snackage?" Kiba laid his hand on his shoulder and gave him a toothy grin.

Out of all three of us Kiba was the closest to Sasuke, he was the only one that really understood him. Besides Naruto, he's the only other person that came close enough to being his best friend.

"Yeah...maybe that'll clear my head. I am kinda hungry anyways." Sasuke smirked.

Neji's POV

We walked into the mall and headed straight for the food court. A lot of the girls were fawning over us. It was something that usually happened. We were the most popular guys at school and could get any girl we wanted, which was always a great benefit.

The four of us went over to an empty table. On our way there Sasuke bumped into someone, knocking both of them to the ground.

"Watch where you're going will you!" It just so happened to be Naruto that ran into him. "I could tell you the same thing, dobe!" Sasuke yelled back at him. They both stood up and got right in each others' faces, fists clenched and teeth grinding. This wasn't good. Sasuke was already on edge, if Naruto pushed him too far this would not end well.

"Stop acting so high and mighty! You don't own the fuckin' world, jackass!" Naruto yelled loudly, drawing all of the attention of the people over to them. "Son of a bitch, you're a nobody! No one will ever acknowledge you! You're completely worthless!" By now the rest of Naruto's friends had come over to back him up. "You're wrong! Everyone will know me, I'll be respected by everybody! And I don't need my daddy to buy my way to the top, pretty boy! I'll bury the name Uchiha into the ground!"

"You just can't live with it can you!? You always need to take everything away from me! Just like you did five years ago!"

Five years ago? What was he talking about? I guess I wasn't the only one that didn't understand, all of us had confusion written on our faces. Naruto's deep scowl slowly turned into a small smirk. "So you finally admit you lost to me at something...How does it feel, huh? How does it feel to lose the most precious thing in the world!?" Sasuke started clenching his fists so tight his knuckles turned white. "ASSHOLE! You took the most important thing in my life away from me! You didn't deserve it!"

"I deserved it just as much as you did! But it wasn't enough for you, you had to have it all for yourself! You're a SELFISH MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD!"

Sasuke brought back his arm and threw a hard punch at Naruto, landing it on his cheek. Naruto didn't hesitate to react and returned the hit in his stomach. Sasuke grabbed Naruto by his shirt and threw him onto a table, but Naruto also kept a hold on him and they both went crashing down, knocking over multiple tables and chairs in the process. The fight was getting way outta hand; we were too paralyzed by everything to pull them apart.

"Naruto, knock it off! He's not worth it!"

"Pull yourself together, Sasuke! You don't need to get mixed up in this, man!"

Kyoko and Kiba tried to get through to them, but they were in their own world. By this time the two were covered in blood.

"HEY! YOU TWO! BREAK IT UP!" We turned around and saw four cops running over to the fight. They grabbed at Naruto and Sasuke, desperately trying to get them off of each other. Even four full grown men couldn't get them to stop.

"WE NEED BACK UP! SEND ALL THE GUYS YOU GOT!"

Nausicaa's POV

Temari and I finally got to the mall. It took forever with all the traffic. As soon as we stepped into the building we saw like 20 police officers sprinting towards the food court. "Whoa, what is this an episode of Cops?" I asked Temari with excitement. "Looks like it. Hey, let's go and try to get on camera! We could be on TV!" Temari grabbed my hand and we followed the cops to where the action was.

I was beyond stoked! It'd be so cool to be on TV!

"LET GO OF ME! I"M GONNA RIP HIM APART!" I heard a voice I knew all too well. I couldn't forget it if I wanted to.

I pushed my way through the huge crowd that had formed in the food court. My eyes grew wide with shock as I saw Naruto and Sasuke being held back from each other by policemen, blood all over both their faces. Tears started to fall down my cheeks at the sight of my best friend...he was a complete mess. Lips were busted open, bruises and cuts on their faces, eyes swollen. As I looked at both of them I saw utter hatred in their eyes. They were prepared to fight to the death.

"Alright, move it you two!" One of the cops said as they pushed the boys away from everyone.

As the crowd began to disperse, I saw my friends and enemies huddled together.

"What the fuck just happened!?" I asked, running over to them. "Naruto and Sasuke bumped into each other. It only started with a couple of insults, but then things got heated up and they went at each others' throats." Kiba quickly explained to me. I couldn't believe this was happening...it hasn't gotten this bad since they had their first fight 5 years ago.

I quickly turned on my heels and started to run the direction the cops took Naruto and Sasuke away. "Where are you going, Nausicaa!?" Shikamaru called to me. "I can't just stand around here and do nothing while my best friend gets taken away to jail!" I left them standing there and hurried to help Naruto.

~DOWNTOWN AT THE KONOHA POLICE DEPARTMENT~

"Please officer, you have to let me in. That's my best friend you have locked up behind bars." I begged the warden. He was being really stubborn and wouldn't let me even talk to Naruto. "No can do little missy. Your criminal friend and his accomplice here caused us a lot of trouble today. They sent five of my men to the infirmary." He reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a lighter. Then he went into his drawer for a cigarette and lit it. I tried not to gag, I hated people who smoked. I mean really, why would you do that to yourself?

"Officer...Hokkaido," I said looking at his name tag, "At least let me go in and talk to him for 5 minutes." He leaned back in his chair and thought about it. "...Fine. But ONLY five minutes." I sighed in relief at his response.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you so much."

Sasuke's POV

I sat on the bench that was in the cell they put me and Naruto in. It was small and in a room separated from all of the other cells in the building. A guard had been put at the desk on the other side of the room to keep us from finishing what we had started at the mall. I was trying to act as calm as I could, but Naruto wasn't doing so well in the situation. He was pulling at the metal bars and yelling at the guard to let him out.

"Come on! You gotta let me out! I'm too young and handsome to go to jail!" He kept pulling on them, as if they were going to give. "I can't stay in this death trap forever! I've only ever kissed one girl, man! I'm still a virgin! Holy shit I can't believe it, I'm gonna die a virgin in here!" Naruto started banging his head on the bars now. What an idiot.

He had been at it for half an hour. "Would you shut up already. They're not gonna let you out." I sighed.

I was screwed. When my dad hears about this he's gonna flip. "Do you wanna stay in here forever or do you wanna get out?" Naruto glared over at me. "Look. Sooner or later the police are going to call our parents and they'll come and bail us out. In the meantime just sit your ass down and be quiet." I calmly said to him as I leaned my head back on the wall with my eyes closed. Naruto mumbled some insults under his breath and took a seat on the bench as far away from me as possible. We sat there in awkward silence for a while. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"This is all your fault, you know that." Naruto blamed me, kicking at the floor. "It was you that ran into me at the mall, not the other way around." I reminded, still not looking over at him. I was surprised when I heard a chuckle from him. "I don' t mean what happened at the mall," We looked up at each other, a serious look in his eyes, "You know what I'm talking about, Sasuke."

"Naruto!" I turned away from Naruto and saw Nausicaa come through the door with another officer. She ran up to the bars and met Naruto. "Nausicaa! What are you doing here?" She cupped his face in her hands. "I got to the mall when the cops were dragging you away. Kiba explained everything to me, I got here as quick as I could. Are you okay?"

My heart felt like it had been stabbed when I saw the look of concern she gave Naruto.

Why...Why him? What made him so special?

"Officer Hokkaido, have you contacted their parents yet?" Nausicaa asked the officer still at the door. "Not yet, why?" he answered walking over to the other cop in the room.

"Please leave them out of this incident, they don't need to know about this."

"Normally I would consent with your request, but there is still the small matter of the bail." He blew out some more smoke from the cigarette he had in his mouth. "I'll take care of the bail for both of them. Just...please don't tell their folks about this."

~Nausicaa's POV~

"Thanks Nausicaa, I owe you big time" Naruto said, giving me a long hug. I hugged him back tightly. Sasuke was sitting there on a chair behind us, glaring daggers at the back of Naruto's head. It was making me uncomfortable so I pulled away from Naruto's grip. "Don't worry about that now. I'm just glad you're not seriously hurt." I reassured him with a warm smile.

"Excuse me, but I need to take this boy with me. I need to fix up his injuries." A nurse had walked up to us and motioned for Naruto to follow her. I was left standing there in the middle of the lobby. I looked back at Sasuke and saw him with his arms resting on his knees and face in his hands. I made my way over to the raven haired boy. I towered over him until he noticed I was there.

"What?" he questioned, peering out of his hands. I folded my hands over my chest.

"You, Uchiha, owe me big time." He didn't look at me and found a spot on the ground to stare at. "Whatever." Sasuke mumbled turning his head away from me. "I'm sorry, what? I just paid a thousand dollar fine for your sorry ass! You think you can get away with not even thanking me! Nuh-uh, no sir, you owe me a HUGE debt." I snapped, placing my hands on my hips. I swear I think I looked like my dad when I 'accidentally' hit a baseball threw his car's windshield.

"Now look, I didn't even ask you to help me out in the first place, alright Kamiya." Sasuke barked back at me. "Oh my god. I cannot believe what I am hearing. I could've just left you in that cell to rot, but I put aside my hate for you and helped you out, and you can't even be grateful about it!" I screamed in his face. I noticed people had begun to stare at us so I settled down and took a seat next to him. I glared at the wall in front of me, not wanting to catch a single glimpse of the stupid jerk.

I heard him let out a breath. "...T-Thanks...for um...helping me." Sasuke kept his head low, making what he said be almost inaudible.

Did he really just say thanks? Was this the same Sasuke that pulled the chair out from underneath me in math class? Sure I asked for an apology...but I didn't think he'd actually give me one.

He finally turned his head to look at me. We stared at each other, no, not glared, just...looked into each others' eyes. The onyx eyes I had always seen with hate or anger were no longer there...it was something else...something I couldn't figure out. I leaned towards him, curious as to what he had hidden behind those mysterious eyes. I needed to get a closer look. What I didn't notice was that Sasuke was also starting to lean into me. I didn't understand what was going on; I had lost control of myself.

"Hey, I'm back!"

Sasuke and I quickly separated and put a good distance between us. Naruto came over to me with a huge grin plastered on his face. It quickly disappeared when he saw me sitting next to his rival. "What's going on, Nausicaa? Is he bothering you?" he asked me protectively, starting another glaring contest with Sasuke, who returned the favor.

I scrambled up, getting in the middle of them. "No, no, everything's fine, Naruto. I was...just telling Uchiha how he owed me for getting him out of jail." He didn't answer me.

"Naruto, don't do this again." I placed my hands on his shoulders. Naruto tore his eyes away from Sasuke and looked down at me. His gaze began to soften. "Alright...why don't we get out of here and go to my place?" I let my hands drop. "Sure...come on let's go. We still have to call everyone to tell them things are okay." I took hold of Naruto's hand and pulled him towards the exit.

I glanced back over my shoulder. Sasuke just stood there, a look of sadness taking over his features.

What are Naruto and Sasuke talking about? What secrets are they keeping from their friends? Does Nausicaa see something in her bitter enemy? Find out next time! Thanks for reading :) Don't forget to rate and message! I look forward to hearing your opinions!
