Chapter ten

Naruto ran to school, tripping over stones, uneven paving, people and herself all the way to her registration (a/n hey where i come from school doesn't start 'til quarter to eight) where she burst in just as the bell went, Tsunade the adult in charge was just getting to her seat, ignoring the looks people gave her flushed and panting self she made her way to where everyone she knew was sat, not even glancing at the usually stoic Uchiha who was gaping as much as everyone else, before regaining his composure and turning back to the front. She took a seat next to Neji, and the teacher pretending one of the students hadn't just led a one person parade into the classroom began to take the register. when she was done there was still ten minutes until the bell went for first lesson so she let them talk while she got back to whatever it is teachers do under the desk when the students aren't watching.

"yo Naru, whats up?" asked Kiba turning around as soon as the teachers attention was elsewhere.

"You'd never guess what my mom just told me..." she explained what had happened that morning and they all looked shocked at that.

"Why would Itachi want a date with you?" asked Neji, earning himself a shrug.

"That's really weird." said Chouji opening a bag of crisps.

"yeah i know." said naruto sighing, the only way she could find out was if she asked a certain eaves-dropping raven, but she shook her head of the thought before it even fully formed.

"yeah i mean he could probably have anyone he wanted, why would he pick Naru of all the people he could have chosen." said Kiba in a thoughtful serious voice but the glint in his eye gave the whole joke away. Naru glared and then kicked away the two legs of his chair he was swinging from so he crashed to the floor. most people in the room laughed, Hinata helped the dog lover up and made sure he was okay but she was still smiling.

"what do we have?" asked the fallen brunette as he stumbled to his feet laughing along with everyone else (Naru: well with a face like kiba's you have to learn to laugh through the pain... Kiba: HEY!!).

"Ahhh... the old nemesis, Physical education!" said Naru like a movie villain and shaking her fist at the rows in front. just then the bell went and they all trudged off to the changing rooms, she got up and made her own way there. "i'm really not in the mood for this all that pervert ever does is read that sick novel anyway." she complained dragging her feet.

"so skip not like they'd notice anyway, hell i'm with you." said Kiba enthusiastically.

"I dunno, maybe... we could probably sneak out at some point..." she said thoughtfully thus far no one had been able to sneak out of kakashi's class he always chose that moment to appear or look up from his perverted novel, so most people had chosen to give up on that one and got on with the class. Of course Uzumaki naruto was not one to give up so easily and thought of it as more of a challenge than a hopeless case.

"well with that decided. shall we." said shikamaru, the other smiled at him, knowing that he just wanted out of the lesson so he could do nothing (a favorite pass time of his). they split up at the entrance to the boys changing rooms where naru made her way down towards the girls, when she was pulled forcefully away from the door, and down back the way she had come but headed somewhere else, she was being pulled backwards so she couldn't quite turn anough to get a look at her kidnapper, that was until they reached the roof and he finally let go ahe turned around and yanked her arm away as soon as the pulling stopped.

"what the hell is your problem?" she half yelled, then she backed a bit when she saw who it was, blinked a few time to make sure that she wasn't seeing things. "Sasuke?"

"Yeah... i need to talk to you." he said hoping she didn't notice he was nervous.

"Sure." he blinked at the sudden answer, no argument or trying to get away from him, just agreement. she looked back at him her face completely serious (for once). then as though both noticed they were staring they turned away a dark blush staining Naruto's cheeks. "Um... what about?" she said trying to cover up her blush and not look at Sasuke at the same time.

"Itachi." came his short answer, she frowned at the mention of the older uchiha.

"So you heard about that then?" she said her voice steady though she didn't feel it on the inside. a nod was her only answer. "before you go crazy again, i don't want a date with Itachi i don't want anything to do with him, he's creepy and and perverted and i don't like him, okay?" she said hurriedly as though afraid of being interrupted, which truthfully she was , she didn't want sasuke to jump to conclusions and run off like he did when he was at her house. He seemed to visibly relax from her first word but he was still staring at her intently building up his courage.

"good, cos i.. well.." he couldn't say anything else as he was cut off with a pair of soft lips on his own, his eyes widened, but he relaxed into them, almost smiling into, but not quite. they came apart after a short while.

"yeah?" she said blushing bright red. but the only reply she got was another kiss this time a bit deeper. One of Sasuke's hands was in her hair and the other was around her waist both trying to pull her closer, though stil a little hesitant. She lifted her own arms and wrapped them around his neck pulling him as close as they could get...
