Demon Child

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!

Naruto was almost at school. He could see it crawling with students. He sighed. 'Well, I guess I should just get it over with.' thought Naruto. He sighed once again and made his way across the street to hell... um, school.

He walked through the doors into the chaos that was his school. He wove his way through the ocean of students who completely ignored him toward his locker.

He was a senior in high school, seventeen years old (his birthday was coming up, though), and had had the same locker every year. He didn't really mind though, it just meant he could find it easier.

He opened up his locker and put some books among other things inside it. He looked into the mirror that he had put up last year (he really wasn't sure why he had, but oh well), and looked at his appearance. Two sky blue eyes stared back at him, above that sat incredibly messy blond hair, and on his cheeks were scares that resembled whiskers. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt that said 'Everyday I'm forced to add another to the list of people who piss me off!' in bright red letters (A.N. My friend really does have a shirt that says that!). He was also wearing baggy black pants and old black sneakers. Nothing special, just ordinary everyday clothes. For him at least.

The bell rang and he started off to class. He finally reached his homeroom, slamming the door open, returning the glares he got from the teacher and the students that had already arrived with his own. He went to the back of the class and sat down, away from everyone else. He pulled his CD player out of his bag and put the headphones on. He cranked up the volume, and listened to his new Linkin Park CD (A.N. I LOVE Linkin Park!).

When it came time to go to first period, he put his headphones away and got up, energetically making his way for the door, intent on getting there first to talk to Iruka-sensei. All of a sudden he was knocked off his feet and fell hard on his ass, banging his head on a desk in the process. After a few moments of sitting there a rubbing his pounding head, he heard someone speak.

"Watch where you're going, dobe."

Naruto looked up to see the speaker and was about to yell at them that they should watch where they're going, when he got a good look at him.

He was wearing a pair of regular jeans, though they were slightly tight, and a regular black shirt. Though his clothes may have been ordinary, the person himself was far from it. He was tall, around six feet maybe, with midnight black hair that was very shiny. He face was also definitely far from ordinary. He must have been the prettiest boy Naruto had ever seen. What really stood out where his eyes, for they had a red tint in them... 'WHAT? Did I just think that guy was PRETTY? I must have hit my head harder than I thought....' thought Naruto, a slight blush spreading across his cheeks. Suddenly remembering the whole situation, he snapped back to reality.

"Bastard, you're the one who got in my way!" Naruto finally replied.

"Hn. Whatever, dobe." the boy said before starting to walk away.

"Hey, don't call me that!" Naruto called after him, making a rude hand gesture at his back. "Stupid, cold, insensitive jerk," Naruto mumbled as he got to his feet. His shirt couldn't have been more right.

'So much for making it to Iruka's class early. Oh well, better get going before I'm late.'

He made his way to Iruka-sensei's class, still rubbing his head a bit. He got there, relieved to see that there were still some other students heading in. He walked into the class and smiled at Iruka.

"Hello Naruto! I'm glad to see you again. We have a new student today, and he doesn't know his way around. I was wondering if you could help him find his way around today? I believe you are in all of his classes, so it would be easy for you," asked Iruka.

Naruto, not thinking correctly, just happy to see someone smile at him and have a nice conversation with, said, "Sure!"

"Great! Thanks a lot, Naruto! Oh, here he is now!" Iruka said, pointing to the doorway.

Naruto turned around, wondering who it was that he had to spend the rest of the day with, was met with the sight of none other than the boy he had knocked into this morning. Naruto just stood there and with his mouth hanging open, trying to think of something to say to Iruka to get out of this. The boy just smirked at him.

"This is Uchina Sasuke. Sasuke, this is Uzumaki Naruto. He will be showing you around the school today," Iruka said with a happy smile on his face.

Naruto mentally sighed. He couldn't disappoint Iruka-sensei, so he forced a strained smile, which he hoped appeared to be real. Iruka seemed to buy it, and told the two to go sit down, and that their seats were next to each other since the seating arrangement was in alphabetical order. Naruto, mentally cursing his bad luck, went to the back of the classroom and sat down. Sasuke sat next to him, ignoring the glare Naruto was sending him.

That's when Naruto noticed the rest of the class. The boys were all acting normal, but the girls were a different story. They were all giggling and looking at the back of the room in Naruto's area, then turning back around and giggling some more. 'Are they... are they looking at me?' Nope. They were looking at Sasuke next to him. Sasuke seemed oblivious to it all, either that or he was really good at ignoring this sort of thing.

When the class finally ended, Sasuke had been passed at least ten notes, and each one he got, he crumpled up and threw away without even opening them. But no matter how many times he did that, the girls would just not give up.

When class finally ended, Naruto was very relieved. He just didn't think he could take those crazed girls any more. Their giggling was driving him insane. He didn't know how Sasuke put up with it. He walked out into the hall, giving Iruka a goodbye wave, and waited for Sasuke. But just before Sasuke could reach him, he was cut off by a girl who had appeared out of no where.

This girl was none other than Haruno Sakura, one of the most popular girls in school. She had pink hair and greenish eyes. Naruto had had the biggest crush on her for the longest time, that is, until last year. Naruto had finally mustered up enough courage to ask Sakura out, but when he did, he was turned down immediately, and none too kindly. That's when he finally came to his senses and realized that he didn't love her, and went on with his life.

"Hello," she said to Sasuke, a blush staining her cheeks. "My name is Haruno Sakura. I heard Iruka-sensei say that you were new here, Sasuke, and I was wondering if you wanted me to show you around, and then maybe after I could show you some of the town...." Jeez. She couldn't have been more obvious. And for some reason, hearing these words made Naruto jealous and slightly angry. Not with Sasuke, but with Sakura. He was just about to say something when Sasuke answered.

Sasuke walked around Sakura and over to Naruto. "Sorry, but I'm already taken." What did he just say?! "I mean, Naruto's already showing me around the school."

Sakura's face went from shock at Sasuke's and words, to jealousy and anger, to overly sweet. "Okay, but if you change your mind, please tell me," with that said, she started to walk away, Naruto catching a few things she grumbled that sounded something like, "stupid Naruto...he's such a little bastard...isn't he in love with me or something...Sasuke's mine...."

'You wish he were yours! Hmph. That'll show her!' Naruto blushed at his own thought.

"Come on dobe, or we'll be late to our next class." Sasuke said, waiting impatiently for Naruto to show him where to go.

Was it just Naruto, or did the word 'dobe' sound affectionate? No, it was probably just his imagination. 'I mean, there is no possible way he could like me. It's pretty obvious that he hates me, just like everyone else. Wait, does that mean I like him? Never mind, I'll think about this when I get home. I don't need this sort of distraction in school. My head is already pounding from all this excess thinking.'

Naruto started walking toward their history class. At least it was Kakashi-sensei teaching, so he didn't have to endure death glares from the teacher as well.

They walked into class and went to sit at their desks. That's when Naruto felt a pair of eyes on him. Sure, he felt eyes on him all the time. It's impossible for him not to with the whole town hating you, but this one was different. It was sending chills up his spine. Naruto looked around for the person, and was about to just give it up and shrug it off, when he found the source.

It was the school's most popular jock, Haru (he could never remember his last name). He had brown hair, dark brown eyes, and always wore that football jacket they gave him for being on the team. Funny he had the same name as his foster father, ne? For that alone Naruto disliked him, but there were other reasons as well. This guy had been after him since the beginning of last year. He kept trying to ambush him while he was alone, but, thankfully, Naruto would always escape just in time. Naruto didn't know why this guy wanted him alone so bad, but he definitely didn't want to find out.

Naruto looked over to Sasuke to see what he was doing, and to get his mind off Haru. He was sitting there, glaring at someone, his eyes once again flashing red. He pitied the person who was the source of the boy's irritation. Naruto looked to see who he was glaring at, and saw Haru. Once Haru caught sight of Sasuke, his eyes widened, and then he turned around, pretending to be getting something out of his bag so he wouldn't seem like he was backing down. Naruto felt relieved that that unnerving gaze was gone.

Naruto looked back to Sasuke, and found that he had a smug smirk on his face. Naruto was just about to ask Sasuke why he did that when that guy wasn't staring at him, when Kakashi-sensei walked in. Jeez, what is it with people and cutting him off today?

"Hello everyone. Today we will be blah blah blah blah...."

'Hmm, guess I just can't concentrate today. I'll just doodle in my sketchbook instead. Kakashi-sensei won't mind.' Naruto took out the sketchbook that he used for drawing (A.N. I have one too ) and flipped to a new page. He didn't know what he was going to draw, so just decided to start and draw whatever comes to mind.

Near the end off class, Naruto snapped out of his trance, and looked at what he had drawn. It was Sasuke! It was a picture of Sasuke just as he was now, his elbows on his desk, hands folded and head behind them, glaring at anything that moved. Considering it was a picture of Sasuke, Naruto had to admit it, it was one of his best.

"Okay, class, today I will be assigning you partners for a project that I'm giving you, which will count for about 1/3 of your final grade this term. Ok, the partners are... Haruno Sakura and..." Sakura was staring hopefully at Sasuke, "...Haru Misuchi (A.N. Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else for his last name :p)... Sasuke Uchina... and Uzumaki Naruto." Kakashi went on pairing up the rest of the class, while Naruto sat there, dumbfounded. He had to spend the whole day with the guy, and now he had to be with him after hours? Well, it could be worse. He could be paired up with Sakura or Haru, or someone else that would rather be paired with a rock than Naruto. That had happened before, you know.

If Naruto had looked over at that moment, he would have seen the small smile that graced Sasuke's lips at the mention of their names.

It was lunchtime. Naruto had made it through the first half of the day, and had only gotten into three more fights with Sasuke. Not bad.

Naruto went over to his usual table where he sat alone. It didn't bother Naruto. He was used to it. He had been sitting alone his entire school career. No one sat with him even when there were no seats left. They just stood instead.

He started eating when he felt someone sit beside him. Was he dreaming? Naruto looked over to see whom it was and was met with the sight of Uchina Sasuke.

"Sasuke, what are you doing over here?"

"What does it look like, dobe? I'm eating," answered Sasuke.

"No, I mean, what are you doing sitting with me and eating? Sakura and the other popular people invited you to their table."

"Yes, but you're the one who is showing me around the school, right? Besides, you're not as annoying as they are."

'Did Sasuke just compliment him in some sort of twisted way? Was he feeling all right? Did he have a fever? Did he leave the stove on this morning? Well, that was random. I guess I'll just leave it at that.'

"Um, thanks?" Sasuke just 'hn'd' and continued eating in silence. Lunch finally ended, and it was off to their next class.

The day went by without much more trouble. Last period was finally over, and it was time to go home. Naruto couldn't wait to get back to his house and eat some ramen!

He was walking home, when only a block from the school, he was cut off by none other than Haru. Why now? Naruto had more important things to do, like eat ramen. Haru had this creepy smile on his face. He started to walk toward Naruto.

"Why hello, Naruto. Funny meeting you here," he said, a malicious smile spreading across his face.

"Oh, fuck off, you bastard. I don't have time for you today."

"Hmm, fuck off, what an interesting idea, Naruto..." Haru had just about reached the now petrified boy, and had started snaking his arms around his waist, when suddenly he was knocked back about five feet, blood gushing out of a broken nose.

Naruto, who had finally snapped out of it, looked at his savior. It was Sasuke. He was glaring so hard at Haru, his eyes almost completely red. If looks could kill....

"What's you're deal, man! I never did anything to you," said Haru angrily.

"Maybe not to me, but you were about to do something to Naruto. Man, you're a waist of my time. Come on dobe, let's go to my house."

Naruto, who was still in a state of shock, couldn't move if he wanted to. It wasn't the Haru incident that kept him there, but the fact that Sasuke saving him felt so right. He finally snapped out of it when he felt a warm arm wrap around his waist, leading him away from a still bleeding Haru.

Naruto couldn't have gotten away if he had wanted to. This just felt so good, and so right.

Well, hope you all like it! Poor Naruto! That's not even the last person who will try to take him away from Sasuke... heeheehee! I'm sorry if Sakura seemed like a witch and, but that is the way she was brought up (plus, I don't really like her!). . There wasn't really anything on Naruto's past in this chapter, but I have a good idea for the next one that will definitely answer some questions! And hopefully I'll be able to update again within the next few days, considering my busy schedule :p. Ja ne!
