All hail Naruto and Sasuke together

Chapter 1

Naruto groaned. He had just received yet another set of test results. To his chagrin, he received a mere 34. 34! What would Iruka-sensei think about this! At such a low grade, he would have to get it signed by his parents, or in this case, his two adoptive parents, Kakashi and Iruka. He could always have Kakashi sign it since he could care less what Naruto did at school as long as he didn't cause too much trouble.

Iruka on the other hand... Naruto sighed. There was definitely no way getting passed Iruka, especially when he was in his mother-hen mood. It didn't help that Iruka was also one of the teachers at the school, which was why Naruto was even attending the school in the first place. Though it wasn't a private school, it was a well-known school with prestige.

Naruto had the greatest urge to curse and smack his head against the wall, but the wall would probably be hurt a lot worse than Naruto would. Though it was partly because the blond did have a hard head, but it was also because he had abnormal healing abilities and strength. Because of this, Naruto would never get sick and his wounds would be healed faster than the average person.

Groaning, he tuned out his teacher, who was giving them another lecture about the importance of exams and how he was disappointed that the majority of the class had failed this history class. As the teacher droned on, Naruto found himself getting drowsy. He was so tired and it wasn't even his fault – Kakashi and Iruka had been going at it again last night.

Once in a while, Kakashi and Iruka would still have a go at it at night, when they thought he was asleep with the key word being 'thought'. Sometimes Naruto wouldn't be able to sleep to fall asleep as easy, and on particular nights, with his keen sense of hearing, he could hear stupid Kakashi whisper suggestions to Iruka, and usually Iruka would protest back, saying Naruto would hear them. And then of course, Kakashi would say that Naruto was asleep and they would be very quiet.

By then, Naruto would be trying his best to fall asleep. Despite him loving Iruka as a father figure (though Naruto personally thought he was better suited to motherhood), and Kakashi as another male figure in his life, he really didn't want to know the details of their sex lives!

And worse yet was the next morning, he could've sworn that Kakashi had winked at him about the previous night, as if the stupid pervert had known all along that Naruto had heard them.

"Stupid Kakashi," Naruto muttered, earning the odd glare or two from the people sitting next to him. Actually, now that he thought about it, Kakashi was never shy about letting Naruto know about his and Iruka's sex life. He was definitely a pervert and Naruto wondered what on earth Iruka saw in the man.

The teacher kept drowning on... and it seemed that he would never, ever shut up. Naruto continued to drone out the monotonous sound. School seemed like such a waste of time to him, and he was just so bored of it. Nothing interesting ever happened, unless you counted the catfights between the girls. And nothing good ever came to him while at school.

He was a loner, though not by choice. Everyone shunned him and he had no clue why. People treated him as if he was abnormal. Though by some standards he was abnormal, but he never really understood it. It couldn't possibly be his clothes, or the way he talked. Though he probably wasn't the best, but he wasn't the worst dressed or was the weirdest behaved. Either way, he didn't know and though he cared, he learned to live with it.

He didn't have any friends; in fact until he met Iruka, he hadn't even known love. He had actually met Iruka while he had been in the care of his previous foster parents. His foster parents often changed and he had probably had more foster parents than anyone could imagine. He had been enrolled in this school and Iruka had been a teacher here. Iruka had been his English teacher a while back and to Naruto's pleasure, the two had gotten along well. Iruka had grown fond of the blond haired boy and so when Naruto's current foster parents decided they didn't want him any more, Iruka had adopted him.

So now Naruto lived with Iruka and his lover, Kakashi. Despite them both being gay, Naruto didn't care... well except the times when he knew about their sex lives, but then again, who wouldn't care! But, in Naruto's eyes, it was a small price for a part of something that he had wanted his whole life.

The day was passing slowly and Sakura and Ino were freshening themselves up for lunchtime where they'd be able to see their beloved Sasuke-kun. As usual, they gossiped as they stared at their reflections in the mirror.

"Did you hear?" Ino began.

"Hear what? Is it about Sasuke-kun?"

"Yeah. It seems like he's going to this summer camp, uh... What's it called? Camp... Camp Koha... No wait... Camp Konoha... Yeah, that's it."

"Really? I thought Sasuke wouldn't do something like that!" Sakura exclaimed with shock.

"Yeah, well apparently his aunt and uncle are going for a trip or something and so Sasuke-kun didn't really have a choice. But I heard that camp was something cool... You know, they have like everything. There's like a fighting thingy there and climbing and canoeing and stuff. I bet Sasuke-kun's going to go fight there and win everything. Now that I think about it... I think I'll sign up for it too! Who knows, it might be my big chance!"

Sakura looked pensive.

"You're right... Let's go find out where we can sign up... I bet I can get Sasuke-kun and not you!"

"Yeah right! Bring it on wide-forehead girl!"

"Shut up Ino-pig!"

The moment Sasuke walked into the cafeteria, the gazes of the female student body assaulted him. Their eyes never left him as he walked slowly towards his usual seat and it was only his harsh glare that kept them from coming towards him in droves.

Once seated, he ate his bento calmly and ignored the excited whispers and giggles that were without a doubt about him. It was always about him and though it irritated him to no end, he couldn't do anything about it and just opted to ignore everyone. He was at least thankful that no one dared to sit next to him and he was able to eat his bento in his own untainted personal bubble.

At the height of just short of six feet, with pale, creamy skin and dark black hair with that exotic Japanese look that he had, he was drop dead gorgeous in a rather feminine way. He wasn't buff. Instead, the sixteen year old had a solid and sinewy frame. Despite his frame, he was stronger than the average person, due to his daily training. With his looks and the fact that he was an honour roll student made him even more appealing to the girls in his school. It wasn't uncommon for them to fantasize that he'd offer to tutor them in whatever subject they weren't doing well. Of course, there was no chance that this fantasy would come to life.

A few tables down sat Hinata with her cousin Neji next to her. Neji was quite protective of the shy girl, though it hadn't always been that way. Though he was a grade above the girl, he'd escorted her to her classes whenever he could and always ate lunch with her to make sure she wasn't bullied. The shy girl was an apt target for bullies. Even though she took martial art classes along with Neji, she wasn't anywhere near his level. It would be enough against the average bully but Hinata hated to hurt anyone and would most likely to suffer abuse than dish it out.

Though they were family and lived under the same roof, Sasuke didn't sit with his distant cousins. In fact, he barely spoke to them, but simply acknowledged them whenever it was required. And though Hinata never mentioned her opinion about it, Neji couldn't care less about the relatives' lack of conversation.

Meanwhile, Naruto was in the teacher's office, facing his guardian.

"But Irukaaaaaa! It's summer time! Give me a break!" Naruto complained.

"No buts Naruto. You know what I expect," the teacher said, frowning. "How could you possibly get a 34? History really isn't all that difficult if you actually paid attention to classes. You'd pass at the very least."

"But it's so boring! All he does is drone on and on... And why do we even need to know about all this stuff anyway? It's not even useful!"

"Now that's not true Naruto. It's useful... You just don't know with what that's all."

"Oh yeah? Give me one reason," Naruto said, glaring.

Iruka was stuck. Sighing, he caved in. He never did have much resistance when it came to Naruto.

"Alright, I'll let you go this time. But don't let there be a next time. Now how about some ramen?" Iruka said, a smile appearing on his face at Naruto's excited expression.

Later that day, when class was over and everyone had rushed out the door, Naruto made his way through the empty corridors to the bike stands.

He always left the school before Iruka since Iruka liked to finish grading papers and other tasks before going home. Though he never stayed as late as Iruka did, Naruto preferred to wait until most of the students were gone before he made his departure. There would be less people staring at him this way.

As he made his way to the school door, to his surprise, he spotted a black haired boy just leaving the school.

Hey... Isn't that Uchiha Sasuke, that stupid boy who all the girls want? I really don't see what they see in him, Naruto grumbled to himself. He honestly didn't see what the girls liked about that guy. He was always so broody and cold. Makes you wonder what got up his ass. Naruto snickered. He could just imagine what Sasuke's fangirls would've said about that thought.

Naruto sighed... He did wonder sometimes about what it would be like to have all those people eagerly coming to you. For as long as he could remember, he had been shunned, as if there was something bad inside of him. He just didn't understand it.

Barring those thoughts aside, Naruto climbed on his bike and pedaled to the dojo that Kakashi ran, wishing that he had a car. It wasn't bad biking around, but he wished he had a car. Perhaps it would make him more liked. If not anything, it would be more conventient for him to get around anyway. As it was, he didn't want to ask Iruka to see if he could have a car and even if he did save up his allowance, it would still take decades before he could afford a decent car.

As he neared Kakashi's dojo, Naruto's wistful thinking soon vanished.

Naruto loved the dojo. It was one of his favourite places to be, aside from the ramen shop a few blocks away from his home. He loved to fight, not because it would hurt people, but just for the thrill of moving his body and feeling the contact of hitting something. It was one of the things he enjoyed most in life.

However, he didn't spar with the others, usually preferring to work by himself. It wasn't that he was afraid to spar with other people; it was just that he didn't know any body there personally and didn't want to know them personally. He hated to admit it, but he was afraid they'd reject him. Being rejected was painful, more painful than being hurt while he was training.

As the days passed slowly by, the end of school came. Naruto soon found himself packing for the three-week long camp that he had been forced into to going.

Seated in the car with Iruka and Kakashi on a two-hour ride to the camp, Naruto found himself asking about the place he'd been bribed into going.

"Where the hell is this camp anyway?"

"It's somewhere deeper into the countryside, Naruto," Iruka patiently replied. Kakashi ignored them and drove on, his fingers tapping silently on the steering wheel of their four-by-four.

"So exactly what am I suppose to do there?"

"Well, the camp is centered around fighting. You can train or learn new fighting styles and techniques. There are also normal camping activities like canoeing and hiking. There's a whole bunch of cool stuff there to do Naruto. You can make new friends, it'll be fun, I promise."

Naruto grumbled. Make new friends, my ass, he thought.

"Iruka... You know what it's like! Everybody... doesn't like me for some reason..." he mumbled.

"Don't sweat it Naruto. They don't know what they're missing, that's all. Besides, if they piss you off, you can just beat 'em up," Kakashi said suddenly.

Iruka shot him a glare. "That's not the way to go, Kakashi. Violence doesn't solve anything."

Kakashi snorted. "Sure it does."

Iruka sighed. This was going to be a long trip.

Sasuke stared out the window. Both he and Neji had wanted a window seat so they could be brood undisturbed - one brooding about Itachi and the other about how Fate and Destiny could not be changed. So of course, Hinata obligingly sat in the middle of the two, which suited them just fine.

Sasuke didn't know where the hell they were going nor did he particularly care. He would probably just end up spending the whole time trying to avoid his fangirls. Sasuke scowled at the thought of them. Really, you'd think that they'd get the point that he wasn't interested in them after viciously turning them down and then ignoring them. The way they looked at him gave him the shivers, not that he'd show it.

He didn't really want to go to this camp thing. It really wasn't his style, not to mention that there would be a lot of people there invading his privacy. Hopefully, he could simply stay in his room, or go train or brood mysteriously somewhere by himself. He didn't want to be surrounded by other immature kids who had nothing better to do than converse and drink booze.

But unfortunately, the raven-head had given his word that he'd go and he wasn't one to go back on that. Besides, now that he was on the car driving to the middle of nowhere, he couldn't possibly leave.

Sighing, he stared out the window; trying to block off the headache he felt was coming up.

It took him completely by surprise when he arrived at their destinations. The sight of a large forest with trees that covered the sky, casting dark, cool shadows over a roughly paved driveway to the main lodge made him blink, slightly awed. He gazed at the trees and the large amount of privacy they afforded and was pleased with the thought he could simply slip away when things got too crowded.

A sign above the entrance to the place read: Welcome to Camp Konoha.
