Chapter Ten: Naruto Vs. Sasuke
Sakura's eyes widened, and she backed away slowly from the pair of them as they glared at each other. Naruto's eyes narrowed angrily, and Sasuke seemed very grumpy.
"Um..." she began. The two boys' eyes didn't even bother to face her.
"None of this is your business, Sakura," Naruto said, his teeth clenched. He stood up, placing the music Sasuke composed on the couch. Some of the other students in the study room looked up from their compositions and homework to see what all the hubbub was.
"None of my--" Sakura began fiercely, but Sasuke cut her off coldly.
"He's actually right for once," he scowled, holding a hand up to silence her. Sakura glared at them.
"For once? What the hell do you mean by that?" Naruto spat.
"Naruto--"
"--Sakura, please, don't say anything," Naruto cut her off again. Sakura felt her temper rising.
Sakura bit her lip, and frowned deeply.
"Hn..." she mumbled. She shuffled her feet uncomfortably.
"What's your problem with us messing with your song?"
Sasuke leaned on the doorway.
"It's my song, anyways, and my grade, so you have no fucking right to change anything," he scowled deeply.
"You should give us a chance, Uchiha, we can change your song, because it's one of the Battle of the Bands final songs. And besides, what happened before doesn't happen now," Naruto growled. Sakura bit her lip harder, that it almost bled.
"Really? And what ever happened to asking permission from the lyricist? And what do you mean before?" Sasuke scowled deeper.
Flashback
"Naruto, I'd like for you to meet Uchiha Sasuke," Namikaze Minato, newly elected president of Konoha grinned. Eight year-old Naruto looked behind his shoulder and saw a boy, about his age, with long, dark hair and a dark-blue kid's tuxedo. Naruto himself was wearing a dark-blue one as well.
Both wore Armani and Versace.
"Hello," the dark-haired boy named Uchiha-what's-his-name said, holding out a hand. Naruto took it, grinning.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm going to be the next president of Konoha!" he said loudly. Mr. Uchiha and President Namikaze laughed heartily.
"Nice. I wanna be president too," Sasuke said quietly as well. Just then, a taller boy, with lines on his face, and a dark black tuxedo arrived.
"Otou-san!" Sasuke exclaimed. Uchiha Itachi nodded curtly to his younger brother.
"Dad, I need to talk to you about something."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and muttered a 'sorry' to the president, and walked off with his son.
"Is that guy your brother?" Naruto exclaimed.
"Yeah, he's a pro at music," Sasuke explained. "Goes to the Konoha Academy, and he's a freshman."
"Oooh," Naruto said in awe, "I wanna go there when I get to high school!"
Minato laughed. "Not yet, Naru, that's in a few years."
"Aww," Naruto pouted. Uzumaki Kushina laughed as she walked over, her soft red hair in a bun.
"Hi, Minato," she hugged her husband. Minato laughed.
"Hi, Shina. How was the meeting?"
"Quite odd. The rep for Mizugakure was strict with business today. Forget business, how's my baby today?" she laughed, and picked up Naruto. Naruto laughed and giggled. Sasuke smiled feebly.
"Mommy, this is Uchiha Sasuke," he said, gesturing towards his new friend. Kushina put Naruto down and gave Sasuke a kiss on the cheek.
"How are you, sweetheart?" she smiled. Sasuke shrugged.
"I'm...fine," he said, his mouth turning into a soft squiggle.
"Well you two go ahead and play, alright?" Minato smiled, patting them both on the head. The boys grinned, and Mr. and Mrs. Uzumaki walked off.
"That's your mommy?" Sasuke asked in a low voice. Naruto nodded, and grinned.
"Where's your mommy?" he asked Sasuke. Sasuke looked down and shuffled his feet.
"...She died in a fire last year..." he mumbled. Naruto's grin faded.
"Oh," he said, and he put an arm over Sasuke.
"No matter, we'll be friends, and we can share my mommy!" Naruto smiled. Sasuke smiled sadly at him.
Sasuke looked at Naruto. Naruto looked at Sasuke and they glared at each other.
They hate each other so much that even the change of lyrics would make them fight? What the hell?! Sakura thought maliciously.
There was silence.
Flashback
Eight-year old Naruto was this time, clad in a black tuxedo, clutching his father's hand tightly as they entered a black Mercedes, the sky cloudly and grey. Tears flowed down little Naruto's face. Minato looked down at him, and his face saddened.
"Shh, don't cry, Naruto..." he said once they were in the van. Naruto scooted away from him, and leaned his head against the window.
"..."
"Naruto..." Minato began, his voice breaking, "Your...mother...wouldnt've--"
"--Shut up!" Naruto shouted, making the driver jump. "Stop talking about what you think shed've thought! You don't know anything, all you do is your work!"
Minato bit his lip, and a tear went down his face, and his arms and looked down as the Mercedes continued down the street.

Once they arrived at the gravesite, there was already a small party of people waiting. Including the Uchihas, Fugaku, Itachi, and especially Sasuke.
"My condolences, Mister President," a woman said as they pass.
"My condolences for you and your poor son."
Naruto hated them. All of them who stood there, pitying him. He remembered his mother telling him, "I hate pity. It just makes you want to puke." And she would give her cherry-filled sweet laugh that would give the air a fresh scent.
"Minato." a low voice said, and Naruto looked up, his tears now gone, anger swelling in his heart. It was Mr. Uchiha, the senior undersecretary to his dad.
"Fugaku."
"I'm so sorry."
Minato just curtly nodded, and the pair continued down the aisle to their seats in the very front.
---
Naruto looked down into the coffin at his mother's pale, beautiful face, and he closed his eyes, tears beginning to seep down. He dropped the last rose, a red one, red as his mother's hair, into the casket. After he had done so, he backed away, and he looked at his mother one last time, and they closed the lid.
"Mom..." Naruto said, his hand reached out, he began to cry. He lowered his head. A hand came on his shoulder.
"Naruto?" Sasuke said quietly, smiling weakly at him.
"Hi," he mumbled.
"You alright?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded curtly.
"Yeah, I guess," he said, looking up at the sky.
"You don't look okay," Sasuke responded.
"Hn," Naruto scowled.
"Your mom wouldn'tve wanted you to be like this." Sasuke said, choking out the word 'mom'.
Naruto froze.
"What did you just say?"
"I said your mother wouldnt've wanted you to be this way."
Naruto turned around, pulling out of Sasuke's grasp.
"How do you know how she'd feel?"
"I damn sure know!" Sasuke swore. Naruto gaped at him.
"You barely knew her! Only about half a year or so!"
"So, your mom is easy to talk to!"
"So, you tried to steal my mom away because you didn't have one?"
Sasuke's mouth dropped open.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" he screamed. Faces turned towards the fighting eight year-olds. Then the rain began, pouring down harder and harder each time they shouted.
"Sasuke...your language...!" his father began.
"Don't tell me that, dad!" Sasuke rattled on as Naruto harrumphed.
"Don't you tell me to shut the hell up!" Naruto spat.
"You didn't have to say that!" his dark-haired friend raged horribly.
"HAH!" Naruto breathed heavily. "Just...you stay away from me, now, get away!"
"Yeah, I think I should. But first..." he went up to Naruto and...
"I'm never going to forgive you for that," Naruto growled. Sasuke merely muttered "Hn."
"Let's---guys--stop, please," Sakura exclaimed. They two glared at her at the same time, and looked back at each other as she gulped.
"It's not my fault a little boy like you could've stopped crying, but no you didn't."
"SHUT UP!" Naruto shouted.
...and punched him in the face. Naruto swore loudly, and he hit back. Sasuke pounced on Naruto, and they began a fist-fight. The two fathers tried what they could, but nothing could do. Moments later, they found themselves in a headlock, their fathers pinning them down on the mud.
"Naruto...Sasuke...Damn it, stop!" Minato shouted. The two boys squirmed horribly.
"I HATE YOU!" Sasuke shouted. Naruto glared back.
"WHY DID I EVER BECOME FRIENDS WITH YOU?" he bellowed.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!" Sasuke shouted. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS, BEING MISJUDGED, HAVING EVERYONE ON YOUR CASE EVERYDAY! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!"
(A/N: Oh god, that fight seems stupid. .)
"Fight me again."
"What the hell?" Sasuke scoffed.
"Rooftop of the Music Building, right then, and now."
"Oh really?" the dark-haired boy laughed heartily. "Like you could beat me."
"Yeah, now I can. My dad isn't here, your dad isn't here, so we can right now."
Sakura opened her mouth, but the two boys held up their hands and stopped her.
"Fine, then."
"Let's go."
The two boys began to walk out the door. Sakura ran after the two. They walked as fast as hell.
"Get in," Naruto snapped, opening the door to the rooftop, placing a small key back in his bag.
"Where did you get that key?" Sasuke glared.
"Nicked it from the janitor, now shut up and get in," he spat this time. Sasuke got out through the door, and Naruto followed.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Sasuke began to laugh.
"This is stupid, you can't beat--"
WHAM.
Naruto whacked him in the face. Sasuke shouted with pain, and winced, looked at Naruto as he rubbed his cheek.
"You...bastard..." Sasuke growled, and he whammed Naruto back.
The two fell to the ground, fist-fighting. Sasuke; a hard whack to the cheek, and Naruto; now showing a black eye.
With a loud wham, the door to the roof opened, and right before the both of them would literally knock out each others' skulls, Sakura screamed, running through the door.
"STOP IT!" Sakura screamed. She ran between them, and then all of a sudden, a hand, with a black wristband whacked her in the face. She staggered backward, tears in her eyes.
Then all of a sudden, a tall man with grey hair dashed through the door.
Kakashi ran towards them, and pulled them apart. Sakura stared. Naruto was sporting a black eye and several cuts on his lip, a rip in his uniform, and Sasuke sported a bloody nose, ripped uniform, and other things like Naruto's but worse.
"Fuck you--" Naruto began, but Kakashi cut him off before he could say anything else.
"Mister Uzumaki, Mister Uchiha! What is this about?!"
"He's just a basta--"
"--WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!" Kakashi bellowed. The two silenced. Sakura gasped with pain. The inner part of her cheek was flaming with pain, and she could taste blood. And her nose felt odd, searing with agony.
"I'm going to call the Headmistress. You two had better stay put or else your arses'll both be in trouble!" Kakashi shouted, and he put Naruto and Sasuke far away from each other.
"Miss Haruno, are you alright?" he ran over and examined her. "Oh god, two loose teeth...bloody nose..." he glared at the two boys. "You two are going to get it. This is serious." He patted Sakura's shoulder gently, and ran off downstairs to get Tsunade-sama.
Once he got the chance, Naruto dashed over to her.
"Sakura, I'm so sorry, Sakura..."
Sakura looked down at his wrist and saw a black wristband. Her eyes welled up with more tears, and she shook her head, backing away from him. Naruto looked hopelessly at her. Sasuke just hid his head in the corner.
"Sakura--"
"--You fucking bastard!" Sakura managed to say, blood coming out of her mouth. She wanted to stop the pain, but she needed to say a few words...
"This is all your fault!"
Chapter 10 End.
I KNOW, I KNOW, the Tem/Sasu question wasn't answered, but I swear, later chapters will definitely have the answers. This one I wanted to make the Sasuke/Naruto/Frienship/Foe thing come out, and see why they hate each other. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME OR ANYTHING! I did say this chapter would be long and sort-of explanatory.
NO FLAMES PLEASE! That'll make me discontinue to write ;(. Constructive Criticism is welcome, though. Tell me what you want in the next chapter (AND IT WILL NOT BE THE TEM/SASU REASON YET! It will be between Chapters 10-20) (Will there be a chapter 20? XD)
I love you all! Cookies for the reviewers, and thanks, I love this story now, bam past 100 reviews now! Heh. I got to march at my school's football game...YAY! Second in the instrumentalist line! WHOO! Flute forever ;3
Arigato Gozaimasu! And...NO FLAMES!
--Sakura-sama.
