Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. You would've known that by now:p

It was almost fifteen minutes left to the next lesson. Naruto stared at his face in the mirror. His blue eyes were lined with red, a very obvious sign of tears. He splashed some ice cold water in his face and took a deep breath.

'Why do they hate me?' He thought, feeling really down at the moment.

He wasn't evil.

Right?

He sighed deep and stared at himself.

'What's wrong with me?'

A sudden noise from behind made him jump around and smile at whoever it was.

"Yo dobe, are you ok?"

Narutos smile turned into a hard mask as Sasuke came in through the door.

Sasukes' pale face was emotionless as he slowly walked up beside Naruto.

"Lemme alone!" Naruto growled. "I hate you!"

And with these words he ran out of the toilets.

Sasuke stared at his pale face in the mirror.

'What's his problem? I didn't do anything, I only asked if he was ok!'

He shrugged and went out.

He would probably never understand that strange kid.

The shrill sound of the bell called the kids to their next lesson.

When Sasuke came into the classroom, almost too late, everyone was already seated.

And the only available seats seemed to be either next to the blond kid or a pink haired girl.

Sasuke started to walk down to sit next to the blonde, but was stopped by a piercing voice.

"Saaasuke-kun! Come sit next to me!"

The pink haired girl waved with her hands to catch his attention, and almost managed to give her friend a slap in the face.

Sasuke sighed but turned around and took a seat next to the girl, Haruno Sakura, as she happily told him with a blush.

She started blabbering about something, and he was very near the brink of running away, when she suddenly fell silent.

He looked surprised at her, but she was staring at the front of the classroom, where their teacher stood.

And he was currently dressed in… Sasuke gasped. The teacher was wearing what looked exactly like a fat potato with two antlers on his head.

"Iruka-sensei, what the hell is that!" The blondes' voice broke the stunned silence in the classroom.

"Now Naruto, no swearing in class, if you may.

This, my dear students, is a slug costume.

And this…"

He waved with his hands. Two more people came in, the first wearing a fox outfit, and the second wearing a really cool ninja costume.

"This is my fellow teachers, Zabuza-sensei…" The ninja bowed.

"And this is Asuma-sensei." The fox managed a clumsy bow.

"They are here to help me with this history lesson, in which we're going to replay a scene from the famed battle at The Valley's End, where the great ninja called the Sixth Hokage fought the Nine Tails Fox Demon with some help from the Great Slug. Now, let's begin!" Iruka exclamated happily, turning to his students and taking an heroic pose.

Naruto smiled. History was one of his favourites, the only subject he was actually good at.

And this story was actually one of his favourites; he could it practically by heart.

Though it was slightly different from the real one, it was rather fun watching them run around in the classroom.

But something more felt different this time, except the fact that the great slug was pictured by Iruka. No, it was something about the fox that gave him an odd feeling in the bottom of his stomach.

He was usually on the ninjas' side, yelling and cheering every time the demon was hit.

Only this time, the battle almost made him cry.

Why was he so sentimental lately?

It must be hormones, he decided, when his stomach began to hurt.

A lot.

He leaned back in the chair, closing his eyes and trying his best to calm down.

But a burning feeling right on top of his belly button made him flinch and clench his fists.

He breathed deeply, trying his best to make the pain go away. But the pain only worsened, and soon he was at the brink of either cry hysterically or throw up like mad.

So he got up from his chair and ran out, ignoring the angry cries from his classmates and teachers. He ran to his secret hideout in the school, a small closet with a bundle of trash on the floor.

There he fell to the ground, clutching his belly and moaning.

Now it felt almost like he was on fire. He was burning, he would burn there all alone, and no one would care.

He let himself gratefully sink into darkness that enveloped him.

Sasukes' POV

Hey, this is actually fun!

I watch the three teachers run around in the classroom, turning the sad history into something really funny.

A slight moan makes me look at the blonde guy, Naruto.

He's clutching his belly and sweating heavily.

What's wrong with him?

Wait, now it looks like he's going to throw up!

No, he didn't.

He's running away now!

I stare after him and feel slightly worried.

What!

I'm worried over someone I don't even know!

Uchiha Sasuke, get a grip will ya!

I shake my head at myself and look at the girl beside me.

She seems to be oblivious over the fact that Naruto just ran out of here.

And so does everyone else, I notice. Not even the teachers seem to care about the fact that a student just left!

"Hey Sakura, do you know why Naruto ran away?"

She's blushing.

'Stupid girl!'

"Oh Sasuke-kun, don't care about that idiot. He's just skipping class, as usual."

"But it looked like he was in pain…"

Shit, I sound like some fucking mum!

"Not that I really care though, I just wondered." I say coolly, trying to remain cool.

But the girl just seems happier over the fact that I actually showed emotions.

"Ooooh Sasuke-kun, you're soo noble!"

I sigh.

Why can't she give it a rest!

"But he's always doing something stupid, just to get attention. Running away like that is just too like him. Don't care about that idiot Sasuke-kun."

She smiles at me, blushing again.

Something seems strange about this.

It's almost like no one care about the fact that he ran out of here, obviously in pain.

I don't understand a shit about this.

But one thing's fore sure, I'm gonna talk to that dobe later.

Narutos' POV

I laugh a little.

Iruka-sensei sure looks funny, running around dressed in a slug costume.

And the fox is actually cute, not the monstrous beast I know from history.

I pity it, being molested and eventually killed just like that.

Poor demon…

What?

Did I just feel sorry for that monster?

Shit, have I gone and become sentimental all of sudden?

Must be those screwed up hormones running around in my body.

Yeah, that must be it.

Ow!

What the fuck!

My stomach!

Not again, please, not today, and especially not now!

I clench my fists, trying to force the pain away.

It isn't working.

Oh fuck, it's getting worse.

I can't throw up in here; they'll get so mad and take it as an excuse for kicking my ass again!

I get up from my chair and run out of the classroom.

They scream words after me, trying to make me come back, but I ignore them, just like they ignore me.

Where can I go?

I need someplace safe, away from them.

The closet!

I open the door and fall to the floor.

I'm burning!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The pain, it's worse than ever!

I-I…

Shikamarus' POV

:Yawn: Oh, I guess this is fun after all.

Teachers dressed like stuffed animals are not very common around here.

Hey, Naruto's running out of here again.

It looks like he's in some kind of pain.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you. Wish I could though, I don't hate you.

:Yawn: If I helped you, they'd probably kick my ass as well, and I'm not so fond of fights.

Sorry Naruto, but you're on your own.

:Yawn:

Narutos' POV

Kid

Wake up

W-what?

Wake up

I open my eyes.

The pain is almost gone, all that's left is a dull ache.

I slowly get up on feet, but fall almost instantly down on knee.

Owww!

It hurts!

I touch my belly carefully.

Oww!

It's hot, like a fire!

What the…

I pull up my sweater and t-shirt and.

Oh Kami!

What is that fucking thing!

Kid

Hell!

A fucking voice in my head?

Have I gone mental or something!

Kid, listen to me

Like hell I'm gonna listen to a frikkin' voice in my head!

Shut up for once kid, and listen to me

Shuddup yourself, I ain't listening to you!

Oh, but you will

Hell no!

In time

I press my hands on my ears and get up on my feet.

I'm so out of here!

When the door slowly opens, I realise I've been screaming out my thoughts.

Fuck!

I quickly pull down my t-shirt and sweater.

"What are you doing here, dobe?"

Not him again!

Third Persons' POV

The bell rang, interrupting the teachers' play. Iruka raised his hands over his head and screamed at the students as they pushed themselves out through the door.

"Homework to next week read the Battle at Valleys' End and learn the contents by heart. And please Chouji, don't bring crackers to next class, or you'll receive detention! See you all on Monday!"

Sasuke walked out of the classroom.

The dobe hadn't returned, and he was feeling slightly strange.

Was he worried?

He thought after carefully.

Nah, he was only curious.

Right?

He was so deep in thoughts that he didn't realise where his feet had taken him.

'Oh, shit', he thought calmly, 'don't tell me I've got lost?'

The corridor was badly lightened, showing only the nearest doors. The fact that it was dark made it seem like the corridor was endless. And the only existing window was covered with planks, effectively shutting out all light.

He started walking towards the dark end, but soon found out that it only lead to a tiny, closed door.

'Ok, then I'll go the other way' he thought, but before he could do anything, a sudden noise made him stop dead.

"Shuddup… Ain't listening…"

"Hell no!"

"I'm… Here"

Before he could stop himself, he had turned around and pulled the door open.

On the filthy, trash covered floor sat Naruto on knee, with his hands on his ears, looking pretty miserable.

Sasuke looked at him, with a hint of pity in his black eyes.

"What are you doing here, dobe?"

Naruto looked up at him, anger flashing in his blue eyes.

"What do you want!" He growled.

The pain struck him again, and he managed to think 'not again' before he was on the floor.

Sasuke bent down on knee beside him.

"Well, it doesn't look like you're ok, so I'll take you out of here. Ok?"

"Fine, whatever!"

Sasuke carefully put an arm around Narutos' waist.

"Aaaaaahrg!"

He released him and backed of quickly.

Naruto clutched his stomach hard. He looked up at Sasuke with pain filled eyes.

"Don't. Touch. My. Stomach!"

Sasuke nodded in apology and took instead hold of Narutos' left arm and pulled him up on feet.

He trembled slightly, but managed to walk out into the corridor before he fell to the ground.

Sasuke hurried after him, feeling rather worried, as the blonde began to scream quietly.

"You're obviously really sick, so I'm going to take you to the nurse."

"No! I'm fine, I just need to lay down for a bit."

"No, you're not fine, I can see that. Come on, I won't touch your belly, I promise."

"I told you I was fine, it'll soon be over, if you just leave me be for a while."

Naruto slowly raised himself until he was crouching on knee in the dark corridor. He tried to smile at Sasuke, but only managed a grimace.

"Don't be so damn stubborn! I'll help you, come on now."

He grabbed Narutos' arm and tried to pull him up, but was stopped as Naruto furiously pulled his arm out of Sasukes' grip.

"Leave me alone, you fucking stuck up, snobby son-of-a-bitch!"

Suddenly he bent over, coughing fiercely. Sasuke fell down on knee next beside him and supported him as the coughs got more violent.

And as sudden as they had begun, they stopped. Sasuke slowly released Naruto, ignoring the protective feeling that suddenly rose within his chest.

The smaller boy got up on feet and began to walk in the opposite direction. Sasuke quickly ran after.

"Hey dobe, are you sure you should be walking? You just…"

Naruto cold glare stopped his words.

"I'm fine, I told you that didn't I? And if you tell anyone else of this, I'm gonna kick your ass!"

"Fine dobe, have it your way."

They walked in silence for a while, until they reached the end of the corridor that opened up into a crossing. A small crowd stood there, chattering about something.

Sasuke caught some words about festival, presents, dance and something about demon.

He stopped the blonde

"Hey Naruto, what's all that chatter about a festival?"

Naruto sighed.

"Idiot, don't you know? It's the celebrating of the day The Sixth Hokage beat Ninetails Fox Demon! It's a grand festival, where almost everyone go and dance and stuff. I don't really know, I never go there anyway."

"Why not?"

"It's not like I have a reason to go there. It's a family thing after all."

Naruto began to walk again, and Sasuke almost didn't catch his last words.

"It's not like I've got a family …"

Sasuke watched the boy run away.

So, he wasn't the only orphan around here. They had more in common than he'd first thought.

It was almost like they were meant to be friends. Not that it seemed like Naruto wanted to; it actually seemed like he despised Sasuke. And that was really odd, since everyone, even the boys, did their best to make friends with Sasuke.

'Oh well, if he didn't want them to be friends, then who am I to force him?' Sasuke thought.

Then he shrugged and walked to his next classroom. They only had two classes left, and then this day would finally be over.

Ok, that's it for this time. Next chapter'll be up in a couple of days, unless I suffer from writers' blocking:P

And I know I'm mean to Naruto, and that everything's very confusing, but it'll solve itself later on. And the sixth hokage is NOT naruto reincarnated!

So don't flame me, pleeeeeeas:)
