Chapter Ten
Say You wanna love me...

The Music Never Ends

...Suddenly, I could feel two pairs of hands grasp around my waist and my body suddenly tenses. Quickly as it came the hands disappeared and all that remained was a whisper of, "We'll be back."

------------------------------------

Awakening, from my horrifying dream, I feel as though something big is about to happen, but that I just couldn't grasp what it was that made me think such things.

Smiling to myself, I look to my left, but find no one there beside me. Lips quirking down into a frown, I sigh and get out of bed to start a new day with school being the primary thing that ruins it all. Taking a deep breath, I strip myself of all my clothing, step into the shower and turn on the water to being a bit hotter than being the comfortable warm that I was used to.

The shower steaming from the hot water, I didn't fully notice the pair of eyes that were staring at me intently seeing as to how the bathroom door was left open like always. Washing out my hair, I let the water run down my body for a minute more before turning off the water completely and grab the towel from where it hanged.

Wrapping the towel around my waist, I step out of the shower with a satisfied sigh and begin my morning routine of thoroughly brushing my teeth, looking around for where my clothes were, boiling some water for the ramen I was to devour for breakfast and lastly look at the picture that was placed in the beautiful frame.

This photo wasn't any normal one, it was a photo of my father, but it wasn't complete. Half of this photo was torn and I haven't yet found out where it was lost to. I have asked everyone I knew that knew my dad, but none of them knew where the other half went.

Snapping back into reality, I remembered how I wasn't really dressed and I shivered from the feeling of the cold air tingling on my skin. Quickly putting on some clothing that was decent and clean, I walked toward the kitchen and turned off the heat to pour the water into the styrofoam style bowl that contained all of my ramen.

Glancing over at the clock, it read 7:45 and I knew that I had more than enough time to get to school today. I couldn't find anything else to do while the ramen absorbed the water, so I decided to get a head start on my work that Hinata handed to me when she came over yesterday. 'Remember to at least do some of this stuff, okay Naruto-kun?' I repeated in my head from what she said last night as she dropped the gigantic stack onto my now sore arms even after my few hours of sleep.

Sniffing the aroma of the ramen, my stomach growled a little bit more than it should have, but I kept working on the endless stack of papers before the ramen was done. The timer went off as I was about to finish my tenth sheet out of pretty much millions. (Woah.. he finished so many fricken sheets in like 5 minutes... freaky...).

Stuffing everything into my backpack/messenger bag, I head over to the kitchen and grab my bowl and a pair of chopsticks and I quickly gulped down a mouthful of ramen that literally burned all the way down my throat as I swallowed the rest of the tiny bowl in record speed. Taking another look at the clock and it reads 7:55 and I didn't tense one bit as I walked toward my bag-thing and tried my best to lift this over-weight bag and place a strap onto my shoulder.

Apparently my shoulder didn't want to support it and I immediately fell down when the bag was released from the grip of both of my hands. "Itai..." I mutter as I rub my sore backside.

Remembering that I was wasting time, I quickly got back up and stumbled all the way to school without breaking a sweat and got there way before the bell was to ring (20 minutes).

---

Taking a seat at another spot than my usual place, I set down the stack of paper that I was supposed to do for this class and I got working and I found it really surprising that I already knew more than three quarters of this stuff and that it was much easier when I was doing this because I was waiting for the class to start. 'Gosh, there is still ten minutes...' I thought to myself as I finished the end of this over-whelming amount of math from Kakashi-sensei.

Don't even ask why I am at school so early, because the reason is that I don't have a reason and that I am just here to past the time before school starts. Taking out the rest of my papers for English, I quickly finish half of the sheets before the bell rings extremely loudly.

Huffing, I put all of my sheets away and position my bag so that it stands upright instead of it laying flat on the floor. The lesson already beginning and I am lost in the whirlwind of math that Kakashi just so happens to plop upon us.

After he assigned to us our work, I approached him at his desk while he was of course reading his perverted little orange book called 'Icha Icha Paradise'.

Glancing up from his book, he smiled and asked me what the problem was.

"Oh, it is just that I finished all the stuff that Hinata gave me to work on and that I think that I might need a little help understanding this stuff..." I quickly explained as I pointed my finger at the extremely large stack of paper that just stands there, unmoving.

Smiling underneath the piece of cloth that covered his mouth, he clapped and said, "Oh Naruto-kun, you finished all of the pages and so you pass this course!"

Gaping at him I ask, "What the heck? Why?"

"Because all of the things in that huge amount of pages is test material that hasn't even been taught to this class and I presume you finished this all in one go and understood it all?"

"Uhh... yeah... but maybe I didn't do it right? Ne?"

Frowning at the thought of marking all those pages, he quickly whispered, "You get an 85 automatically if you just dump that paper out and come to class until the end of the semester."

"95 and we will consider it a deal," I bargained.

"Fine... deal."

Smiling evilly, I waved to him and shoved all the pages back into my bag before just slacking off and falling asleep on my desk.

The class ended uneventfully other than the fact that I was going to go crazy with the fact that Sasuke wasn't even present in any of the classes I was in for the first few periods.

'Where the hell could that damned teme be?' I thought to myself as I strolled down the hallway looking for a good reason to search for Sasuke.

"Yo, Naru!" Kiba shouts as he jogs toward me.

"Hey Dog-breath, I thought you had class..." I spoke as I slowed down my pace to just a slow walk.

"Well you thought wrong cause we both have the same lunch period!" He cheerily grinned.

Groaning in displeasure, I walked with him to the cafeteria where all the food was pretty much disgusting or extremely over-price... maybe even both, who knows what the heck they do to their food.

"Naruto-kun!" Sakura suddenly yells as we approach where she, along with Ino, Hinata, Temari and Shikamaru were sitting.

"Sakura-chan... where is Chouji?" I asked suddenly noticing Shikamaru's best friend was nowhere to be seen.

"Probably off somewhere with his Haku or something..." Shikamaru yawned as I stared at him.

"And where the hell might this Haku be?" I asked, impatient.

"With Sasuke?" Ino suddenly questioned.

"Where the hell are all these people?!"

"Uhm... I think that they are at some place that isn't anywhere close to the school cause Sasuke so happens to have that driver of his driving him around everywhere all around town whenever he wants," Rock Lee shouts in joy as he plops down beside Sakura giving her an eye-shattering smile.

Once again groaning, I found myself seated with the huge group of people and I was eating something that looked like it was overdue weeks ago. Shoving it away, I ponder on why Chouji was with Sasuke and Haku.

Running a hand through my blond hair, I decide to just steal food from Shikamaru who is dozing off. I reach for his food, he smacks my hand away, his eyes fully closed. My eyes widening by many, many inches, I decide to just take at least a small bite of whatever it was that was sitting on my plate.

Swallowing the strange mixture of things, it tasted bad, but the aftertaste was delicious. It tasted just like ramen... not as good as ramen, but it at least tasted like it. Quickly finishing it, I grin cheerfully and rub my stomach, satisfied even though I didn't even eat that much food.

"Ew, that is so gross Naruto!" Sakura exclaims as I look away, trying my best to hide the blush of embarrassment from everyone.

The lunch period passed quickly and I found myself sitting at an empty desk that Sasuke was supposed to be sitting with me at.Why the hell was he not here? I don't know.

So, I finally just settled with living through the day of school and wondering what to do for the rest of the day before Kurenai-sensei suddenly announced, "We have a new student joining us today!"

For the millionth time, I groaned and lazily moved my eyes to see who it was that was joining us for the rest of the semester and found that it was a boy. This boy wasn't much special, other than the fact that he was exceptionally shorter than all other guys in our age group. 'He must be some smart ass kid that skipped several grades...' I concluded in my head.

His voice surprisingly came out extremely deep and strong, stating, "My name is Donovan."

Everyone stared at him in shock as he wrote his name on the board and just made his way to a spot that Kurenai-sensei designated for him to sit at. Sitting beside some guy I don't know well, he just settled with reading a book while Kurenai-sensei wrote a series of complicated problems that we had to solve.

Yawning from the exhaustion of not being able to sleep well, I let myself doze off for a little while. It turned out that a little while lasted until the end of the period when the loud bell signaled that the last period was over.

Groggily putting my things into my backpack, I meet with Hinata at the door and we walk to the nearest convenience store to get myself something to drink.

---

As we make our way towards our homes, I make small chat with Hinata and can't help but feel that something was still following me from last night. Shrugging it off with myself only being paranoid, I just smiled to Hinata and continue with her until I drop her off and head back home.

Still hearing nothing about Sasuke, I just decide that I would go to sleep early and started on my way to my bedroom before I heard a huge crash outside of my apartment's door.

Deciding that I would go and check whatever it was that happened, I open the door to notice that there was a rather large hole in the floor and beside that hole was a fox plushy with nine tails.

Thinking it is cute, I grab it and bring it inside and place it on the coffee table that is by my sofa and couch.

Heading toward my bed, I strip down to my boxers and climb into bed hoping that I will hear something about Sasuke the next day, but my mind always wandered back the fact that Donovan seemed so strange when he entered the classroom.

My mind drifting off into its sleepy state, I barely noticed the pair of dark eyes that was staring intently at me. Not caring one little bit, I allow my mind to drift into the peaceful slumber that I was lacking for many days now.

Somewhere off in an evil lair

"So what was it that you wanted, Pein?" A woman with an origami rose placed over her ear asked.

"I want you to go and find out where the hell Itachi and Kisame went," he replied, his voice cool.

"Hn... I will go send Deidara and Sasori to go and find them."

"Good, Konan, don't forget to stop them though..." The red eyed man stated as he walked back into the dark room.

"Hm... I guess my mission shall start now then..."
