Yes it is another Naruto fan fic from me. And yes again it is an AU. For those people who are reading my other story, I am still continuing it, I've done about 3 pages of it, I just need a change of pace away from the supernatural stuff, plus this story line has been sitting as screwed up piece of paper on my desk for about 2 years now, which is a long time, cause normally it would have gotten thrown out ages ago. Yes this is a small chapter, well it's more like a teaser really.

Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me, nothing does, nothing. The only thing I own is the $100 in my back account which I earned for looking after ratty kids for two weeks. So please, don't sue I need that money for when I retire.

Depending on how this fic goes it might exceed the rating of T, maybe even get to MA, for which, those parts will be placed on my other account on story is seen through Sasuke's POV. So now enjoy.

Change of Pace: Prologue

The note on the blackboard said:

CAMP FORMS IN.

I MEAN IT.

HAND THEM IN BY THE END OF THIS WEEK OR YOU WILL NOT GO.

Trust Ino to go nuts on the board in our form room. She even drew angry little demon faces expressing the stress the class rep. was feeling.

Stupid camp, who wants to go on one anyway, sure it's our last time doing anything like this with the school again, but it's not like I liked anyone here so I have no reason to 'bond' with these people. I glanced out the window that was next to my desk to watch as the last late students made a mad dash for the gates before they were closed.

One head of shockingly blonde hair caught my attention. I watched as he ducked and weaved between the other students who didn't seem to care if they were late. He was almost safe when he happened to bump into one of the meaner looking 3rd years in our grade, knocking the Yankee clean off her feet. What I presumed was her boyfriend helped her back to her feet all the while yelling at Blondie to watch where he was going. I could see where this was going.

I stood up from my desk and made my way over to the stairs, feeling all the girls' eyes in the room follow me. I could have taken the elevator, but he's all trash talk for the first 10 minutes before he actually starts using his fists.

Your probably asking your self, why would the most popular guy of the 3rd years, and the school, help a little blonde pest get out of trouble he himself caused. That would be a very good question, and I'd have to answer by saying I promised his mother I would take care of him.

Yeah, lame I know. Don't get me wrong this little pest packs quite a punch, but if he gets caught, he'll get set to the principal, who will call his mother who will then tell my mother and it will all come back to her yelling at me for not watching out for 'sweet little Naru-chan'.

By the time I get down there both boys look like there ready to unleash hell on each other, with the girlfriend and the rest of their group off to the side chanting 'fight, fight, fight' which can really grate on peoples nerves.

The girlfriend, I think her name could be Mika, notices me and does that thing girls do when I go near them, she swoons which has the rest of the group looking up to see what had caused her to do so. It seems that everyone has noticed me except the two in the circle who are slowly eying each other up. Damn now I have to get involved.

I watch as they both throw a punch at each other and I do the only think I can think of.

"Oi, Dobe." My voice breaks through to the pest in the last second pulling him out of the fight and he glances towards me already to yell at me. Its then I realise my mistake, I watch as the other guy's fist lands a hard punch to the blondes right cheek, knocking him to the floor. The guys gives the body on the floor a swift kick before heading of with his friends laughing about how he beat some 1st year up. I look back to see the blonde fuming on the floor muttering to himself about how he's a third year just like that guy. I take a step closer to see the damage that I inadvertently caused, not that I would tell him that. This catches his attention and his head whips around to glare daggers at me.

"You just had to but in didn't you, now look what you've done, I got hit and that guy walked away scot free. Damn you Sasuke-teme, go hang out with your little fan club and leave me alone." He turns his head to the side in a childish act of stubbornness.

"I would love to let you get the crap beaten out of you Naruto, but if I did, I would never hear the end of it from my mother, you know how much she adores you, I can't see why. Get up or you'll be late for form." I get an indignant huff as a reply. Damn, it is to early in the morning to be dealing with this crap from an 17 year old who just won't grow up. I feel a low growl rumble in my throat as I bend down a grab his tie electively pulling him to stand as I yank the tie.

"Get your ass to class." I again realise my mistake to late as I hear a giggle come out of the blonde's mouth. Ha ha Naruto, yeah it's really funny. Ignoring the choking sounds coming from behind me, I start off back to the school building with the tie still grasped in my hand.

Tell me what you think.
