Note: So remember how last chapter there wasn't really anything depressing in it? Well that was because this one is a little bit of a downer…just warning you
Some Orochimaru verbal/mental abuse, it doesn't have a warning because he doesn't actually hit him…if you want me to tell you where it is so you don't have to read it pm me…but here's your warning because it's not in the actual chapter…I feel him being creepy doesn't need warning it should be assumed when he's there he'll be creepy…
As usual I own nothing enjoy and please review
Chapter 10: After Class
Naruto looked at Sasuke getting ready for class, he couldn't help but think that something was missing. Sasuke was doing his normal routine that much he was sure of, but he still felt as if something was out of place. Then it dawned on him, "Where's Suigetsu?" The two had a habit of hanging out before class ever since the first day of classes.
"He's sick," was Sasuke's simple yet somehow shaky reply. He didn't look at him for some odd reason. He had been quieter than usual.
"Oh," Naruto said. He didn't know what else to say to his roommate. He found him to be a puzzle that was impossible to figure out. "Well, I'll see you in math, I'm heading over to Kiba's."
"There's no way that he'll be up right now," Sasuke said as the blonde grabbed his things for math, knowing he'd be there until he had to go to the class.
"I know, that's half the fun," he grinned, causing Sasuke to shake his head. Naruto walked out the door laughing. He walked over to Kiba and Shino's room, knowing that Shino was bound to be up at this hour, he was an early riser like Sasuke. The difference was that Kiba could sleep through anything and Shino was a lot more thoughtful of the fact that his roommate was sleeping. The blonde knocked on the door, waiting for Shino to answer.
Once the door opened, Shino said, "He's sleeping."
"Doesn't mean I can't wake him up," Naruto grinned, Shino didn't argue and just let him in.
"Wake up, buddy," Naruto said as he started jumping on Kiba's bed next to him, eventually sitting on his best friend.
"Come on moron, you're heavy," Kiba said in a half awake voice. "And you're going to break my bed."
"Are you calling me fat?" Naruto said in fake anger. "I'm offended."
"I'm not awake enough for this Naruto," Kiba said in an annoyed voice.
"That's why it's fun," Naruto laughed, causing Kiba to push him off and onto the floor.
"You dick, that hurt," Naruto said as he rubbed his shoulder.
"Serves you right," Kiba said as he sat up, glaring at the blonde in front of him.
"That look doesn't scare me, you should see the ones that Sasuke gives me," he smiled.
"Must you find a way to bring Sasuke into every conversation?" Kiba asked as he rubbed is eyes, trying to wake up.
"I do not," Naruto denied, not even realizing he'd been doing it.
"Yeah you do," Shino agreed.
"Who asked you," Naruto glared.
"Would you just make-out with him, or fuck him, or what ever it is you want to do with him, and get it over with so I stop having to hear about him?" Kiba asked. "Either that or I'll bring up Hinata in every conversation."
"Fine, fine, I get it," Naruto said. "I won't bring up Sasuke the rest of the day."
"You say that, but you don't even realize you do it," Kiba said.
"He's got it bad," Shino observed, being usually talkative.
"What is this, pick on Naruto day?" Naruto huffed, annoyed with his friends.
"He hardly denies it anymore," Shino added to his observation.
"Shut up, I don't like him!" Naruto shouted. "You know what, you guys are mean, lets get some other people to hang out with, maybe they won't pick on me," Naruto said.
"If you bring up Sasuke they will," Kiba teased.
"Shut up, this conversation is over," Naruto said.
NS
Naruto, Shino, Kiba, Gaara, Neji, Shikamaru, Choji, Lee, and Sai were all sitting in Neji's room taking turns playing his x-box. Naruto was happy to get the concentration off of him.
"So, dickless, ugly wants to know why you haven't talked to her lately," Sai said.
"Dude you really have to come up with better names for people," Kiba said, knowing he was talking about Sakura.
"Sakura, how is my beautiful goddess," Lee practically shouted.
"Who invited him?" Kiba asked quietly.
"Unfortunately he's my roommate," Neji sighed.
"She's fine Lee and I didn't know she was yours," Sai said confused. While Sai did very well in school, he lacked in the department of social skills and understanding.
"She's not," Naruto laughed at Sai's misunderstanding.
"It's just his wishful thinking," Kiba added, but Lee didn't let that get him down.
"I will win her heart one day," he assured.
"You do that, buddy," Naruto laughed, somewhat happy that Sakura had someone that cared for her so much. Yet, he felt somewhat sorry for her because he was just a little too over the top about it. It was almost ironic that the guy was just as obsessed with her as she was with Sasuke.
"So Kiba, when are you going to ask Hinata out?" Choji asked, trying to distract him while they played against each other.
"When blondie over there admits he likes Sasuke," Kiba grinned, knowing his friends wouldn't let him live it down.
"What?" Gaara spoke out, obviously surprised.
"It's obvious," Shikamaru said. "It was obvious when they played football," he added, earning a few laughs.
"I don't like Sasuke," Gaara said, he had always been protective of the blonde ever since Naruto invited him into their group. It was as if he felt he owed him for helping him make friends.
"Neither do I, their just messing with me because he's my roommate, who I just find attractive," Naruto said. "And Kiba said I wasn't supposed to bring up so I don't know why he is."
"Because pay back is a bitch remember?" Kiba smirked as he killed the only remaining person he was playing against. Naruto knew what he meant by that he knew that his friends would make fun of him for liking Sasuke. He knew he'd hear crap about it for a long time, even if he tried to deny it.
"Neji, how are things with Tenten," Naruto then asked.
Neji blushed, "There's nothing going on with me and Tenten." No one noticed but Gaara's eyes again hardened at the conversation of Neji and Tenten being a couple. Neji looked at Gaara as he spoke to Naruto, as he felt his eyes on him, and quickly turned away from the cold stare.
"Right, okay if you want to keep it secret that's cool," Naruto laughed.
Neji decided to deflect the attention, mostly trying to change Gaara's attention, he asked "What about you Shikamaru, we all know you have two girls pinning for your attention. Who are you going to choose Ino or Temari?"
Shikamaru looked at Gaara, Temari's scary brother and just said, "I don't know yet."
"Let's stop this talk about relationships, please," Naruto said. "We sound like a bunch of girls."
"Yeah, sounds good," he heard most agreed, so they moved on.
NS
Sasuke sat in his business class, feeling highly uncomfortable without Suigetsu there. He hated not having a friend there with Orochimaru's piercing eyes staring at him as if he knew something that he didn't. Sasuke tried to concentrate on what the professor was saying, but he knew he could feel Orochimaru's eyes on him at all time and it was unnerving.
Once class was finished, all Sasuke wanted to do was get out. He was ready to bolt out of class faster than the speed of light, however, it seemed life had other plans. "Sasuke, would you come here for a second?" his professor called, making Sasuke nervous.
"Why?" he asked. While he normally wouldn't question professors, this was one he didn't trust. He knew he was one of Orochimaru's men.
"I just have a question about the paper you turned in last week," The professor said, though Sasuke was still suspicious. He looked around and he didn't see Orochimaru. All of the other students were exiting as he walked up to the front.
"What is it?" he asked as the last student walked out.
"There was no question," Orochimaru said as he walked in. "He was just doing me a favor," A sinister grin spread across his face. "You can go now," he said, addressing Kabuto, who only nodded as he made his exit.
"Did you know there isn't a class in here for another hour?" he asked.
"I have class soon," he said as he looked at the clock.
"Your teacher doesn't take attendance," he pointed out.
"My roommate will notice if I'm not there," Sasuke countered.
"Imagine what I could do to you in ten minutes, it would only take you five to get to your class," Orochimaru said.
Sasuke backed away from him, causing him to be backed into a corner. There are many forms of abuse. There's verbal, sexual, physical, and mental. He didn't know about sexual, but the other three he knew Orochimaru did very well.
Orochimaru pressed him into the whiteboard so hard that he could feel the part that held the erasers digging into his skin. Orochimaru covered his mouth, "Shh, we can't have you let anyone know we're in here."
"I was surprised when you weren't as good as your brother, it's sad really, how pathetic you are," The older man smirked; he loved to see how vulnerable Sasuke was. "You're brother took everything like a man, but you're so weak," he added, Sasuke's heart rate skyrocketed when Orochimaru gripped his upper arm tightly. "Don't you miss this? Just think I could beat the crap out of you right now and no one would know. How does that make you feel?" he asked in a low voice with a sinister grin.
Sasuke was searching for a way out; he knew he couldn't put up with this anymore. He finally got the courage up to kick the older man in the groin. Orochimaru leaned over, giving Sasuke the opportunity to get away.
He didn't care if he looked like a crazy person, he ran as fast as he could away from the classroom. He had to get away from Orochimaru, from his mind games, from the possibility of getting beat up. He knew that the man probably didn't beat him up only because they were on school grounds. If it would have been anywhere else, he knew he probably would have left would at least one new bruise, probably several.
When he arrived at his math class, sitting next to Naruto, he didn't say a word. He couldn't say anything; he knew it would come out shaky and terrified. He hated being around Orochimaru, especially alone.
"Hey, are you okay, you're practically shaking and you look like you just ran here," Naruto said. He'd never seen Sasuke so distraught, except maybe when he ran away after the power went out.
"I'm fine," Sasuke said, though it was clear that he wasn't. His voice was shaky and so were his hands. He could hardly write anything, he was shaking so badly.
"You are not fine, what the hell happened to you?" Naruto asked, genuinely worried.
"Can you please just drop it?" Sasuke asked, trying to calm down. He found it lucky that he already had his school stuff with him when he went to talk to the professor, so it was with him when he ran out.
NS
Naruto knew that Suigetsu was sick, but that didn't mean that he couldn't go talk to him. This was an emergency. He knocked on the door, only to be let in by Suigetsu's roommate, Juugo. "Hey how are you feeling?" he asked once he saw him.
"Like crap, which is why I'm wondering why you're here," Suigetsu said, though he had a feeling the answer was Sasuke. It was always Sasuke.
"It's about Sasuke," Naruto said, proving him right.
"What about him?" Suigetsu asked.
"When he came to class today, he was really shaken. I mean his hands were actually shaking and his voice was shaky," Naruto explained. "It was weird.
"Oh god," Suigetsu said, having a feeling he knew exactly what happened; although he hopped he was wrong.
"Do you know why?" Naruto asked.
"I hope not," he said as a feeling of dread came over him, wishing he hadn't missed a day of class.
"Care to share?" Naruto asked, feeling as if he was missing a giant piece to the puzzle known as Sasuke.
"That's really not my place," Suigetsu said, making the blonde extremely frustrated.
TBC…
So I don't like writing the scenes with Orochimaru and Sasuke, so I just made it short…
