Chapter one

Lazy Days and Afternoon Spats.

Naruto groaned as he turned off his blaring alarm clock. "I'm up I'm up!" me mumbled throwing off the covers. Getting out of bed he yelped as his entangled feet trapped him causing him to lose balance and fall.

"Owwwww" he moaned holding his abused head. "Damn sheets." He grumbled untangling his legs and getting up.

"Gya!" he said looking at his clock. Quickly he dashed into the bathroom and hoped into the shower.

"Yipes!" he said skidding backwards from under the freezing spray.

"Why me" he moaned 15 minutes later after he was dressed and groomed. Grabbing his cup ramen he boiled the water and waited, not patiently, for his ramen to be done.

"Finally!" he said digging into his food and devouring it like a hungry wolf. Finishing it quickly he put his shoes on, grabbed his bag and was out the door locking his apartment behind him. He made it to school with one minute to spare.

"Thank Kami" he said slumping into his seat. "Hello" said a soft feminine voice from beside him.

"Oh hello." He said, in his rush he hadn't noticed the pretty girl sitting beside him. "Hi My names Uzumaki Naruto." He said rubbing the back of one hand and extending the other to the girl beside him.

"Haku" was all she said taking his hand. Naruto raised the delicate hand to his lips and kissed the back of it softly, "nice to meet you." He smiled and released it.

Haku laughed. "Same to you"

A few girls behind Naruto giggled. "What?" he looked confused and panicked.

Haku laughed again.

"Why are they laughing?" Naruto asked, eyeing them suspiciously.

"It's because I am a boy." Haku laughed once more, and Naruto joined him.

"Well I am very sorry" he said a faint blush crossing his cheeks. "But if it means anything, I think you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen." He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.

It was Haku's turn to blush. "Thank you" he said, his long chocolate brown hair shielding his face from view.

The teacher entered the classroom smiling brightly. "Good morning class" he greeted.

"Ohayo Iruka-sensei!" they greeted back in unison.

"Okay okay, please take your seats and we will begin today's lesson."

Pulling out his math textbook Naruto sighed. "Man I hate math, and why does it have to be first thing in the morning?" he groaned.

"I'll help you if you want" Haku said from beside him.

"Really!? Thanks!" he exclaimed a little too loudly.

"Naruto-kun!" Iruka scolded.

"Gomen sensei" Naruto apologized rubbing the back of his head.

From the back of the class Kiba snickered "what a moron."

From beside him he heard the familiar THUNK of Shikamaru's head hitting the desk. Looking over he saw that the lazy boy already had his entire math work done and was sleeping soundly.

"Aww man this class blows." He mumbled. His thoughts drifted back to the cheerleading practice yesterday and he smirked. "Too bad I have Soccer practice today; I would love to go watch them again."

The first couple of periods passed quickly for Naruto and before he knew it, it was lunch time.

Looking at the menu for the school food he frowned "No ramen" he moaned and ordered some rice stir fry of some sorts. Looking around he saw Haku and sat beside him. "Hello again, Hope you don't mind my company" he grinned widely.

A little startled by his appearance Haku looked at Naruto with his chopsticks halfway in his mouth "be my guest." He said through the delicious food. With that Naruto plunked down on the other side of the table and stared at Haku for a second before nearly throwing the food into his throat.

After food was eaten quickly, on Naruto's half at least, he waited for Haku to finish eating his food.

"This is sooo boring!" Naruto exclaimed letting his forehead hit the table.

"We could go outside or something if you like." Haku said smiling and collecting his and Naruto's garbage

"You mean you still want to hang out with me?" Naruto said looking up at the taller boy.

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?"

Naruto was confused, "umm just never mind common let's go!" Before Haku had a chance to protest Naruto had grabbed his wrist and was dragging him through the double doors and into the hallway. He chuckled lightly, Naruto had so much energy.

Naruto had no idea where he was going nor did he care, all that mattered was that Haku wanted to hang out with him. Spotting a huge oak tree on top of a very friendly looking hill he dragged Haku all the way to the top before he released the captive boys hand and sat down.

"This is a really good spot." He said leaning against the base of the tree.

"Yes it is" Haku said sitting in front of the blonde supporting his weight on his arms, which were stretched out behind himself.

They sat there in a comfortable silence for the rest of the lunch period before heading separate ways. Naruto had art where as Haku had dance class. Naruto was sad that he didn't have Haku in art class but he did meet another person that seemed interesting during the period.

"Gaara I think his name was" Naruto explained as he met up with Haku in front of the change rooms. "Well I now know for sure that you're a boy" he laughed as the entered the change room together.

"Well considering that this is an all boy's gym class he'd have to be" sneered a voice from behind. Naruto turned around to glare at who ever made the comment and blue eyes met black.

"Who the hell do you think you are listening in on other people's conversations?" his glared harder at the raven haired boy.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke and I can listen to what ever conversations I may please." He glared right back. How dare this boy talk back to him! Does he even know who he is messing with? Sasuke thought.

"I don't give a fucking shit if you were the emperor himself! Keep you stuck up nose in your own business" Naruto snarled and turned to leave. He felt a hand grab his shoulder "Don't you dare turn your back on me" Sasuke growled.

In one swift movement Naruto turned and landed a punch to the side of Sasuke's pale face. Not expecting it Sasuke stumbled back releasing Naruto's shoulder and clutching his cheek. Naruto turned and exited the change room Haku following behind closely. The change room was silent.

Sasuke started chuckling and anyone left quickly took their leave.

It turned out that the gym class was cancelled due to the instructor having left a period before sick.

"Well there goes that class" Naruto cheered. Him and Haku exited through the gym doors and headed towards the bleachers by the football field. "I wish I could go home but I have stupid practice after school" he muttered cursing the principal.

Haku laughed "if it makes you feel any better I have the same practice, I saw you yesterday but I guess you didn't notice me through your cursing."

Naruto laughed. "Guess not, but that great!" it took all of his resistance to not jump up and hug the boy.

Naruto and Haku were smiling and laughing until Naruto frowned looking at the people heading towards them.

It was Sasuke and couple of their classmates. Haku sat beside his friend frowning slightly "be careful" he hissed "he's strong" Naruto nodded but kept his glare set on the older boy.

Although he had all grade 12 courses Naruto had only recently turned 16. So he was a year younger than everyone else in his classes, but that didn't matter to him. He was confident that he could defend himself and Haku.

"What do you want?" Naruto sneered when Sasuke and his group finally reached the bleachers.

"You're sitting on my bleachers" Sasuke sneered right back.

"I don't see your name on it"

Sasuke just pointed to a spot further down the benches. There in bold letters was Uchiha Sasuke burned into the wood.

"Whatever. Like I'd want to sit somewhere you've been anyway." He got up and left. Haku looked worriedly from Sasuke to Naruto's retreating form before getting up and following his friend.

"Do you have something against Sasuke-kun?" He asked once he caught up with the fuming blonde.

Naruto sighed and lent against the Oak tree. "It's nothing personal against Sasuke himself. It's just at my old school it was guys like him who made my life a living hell and it pisses me off to see that here too."

"I see. Well Sasuke-kun isn't mean you know, only to his enemies."

"Whatever" Naruto muttered calming himself down. There was something about that Uchiha guy that he just didn't like, but he wasn't going to tell Haku that. Normally he would never back down from a fight, especially from the likes of someone like Sasuke, but Haku was there and he didn't want to frighten him off. Looking towards the clouds he smiled, it was a good day for cloud gazing.

"Hey Haku"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks"

"For what?"

"For being my friend."

Haku smiled at Naruto "Thank you for being mine."
