THANK YOOOU'S!
I didn't expect such wonderful reviews for just… the first chapter! I LURVES YOU ALL! And so many hits already too
To Nadramon: I don't think "The sand squad" are even going to be related in this fic, so no triplets. Emo could be considered a type of music lots of people listen to (like me) most of the time the lyrics are all depressing and suicidal, though ish still really good (See 'Billy Talent', 'Nightmare of You', 'Mindless Self-Indulgence' etc.). It's a style for many people too, their personalities are sometimes prettydepressing and quiet and all that, but they're really nice when you get to know them. They wear a lot of black and somewhat tight jeans, and have AWESOMELY sexy hair! And yes, I believe this fic will be KibaHina too.
To everyone else: HUGS ALL AROUND! Thank you sooooo much!
Chapter Two
Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me,
In your thoughts forsaken me,
In your heart forsaken me, oh,
trust in my self-righteous suicide,
I cry when angels deserve to die
-System of a Down
The afternoon bell rang throughout the school, freeing the students that studied within its walls for… about an hour. Everyone abruptly left the classrooms and shoved their way to the lockers, collecting their lunches and heading out the doors. Naruto rambled endlessly to the school's newcomer, Sasuke. "Sasuke, go get all your shit from your locker and come meet us all behind the school." Naruto elbowed the dark haired boy as he left for his own.
Outside the doors of the ominous school, the peculiarly bright sun was far up in the air, showing off an entirely cloudless day. Naruto swore it stayed nice only for the reason that they were forced to sit through hours of mind labour rather than enjoy the outdoors. "Damn sunlight… you're against me aren't you!" Naruto made a fist and threatened the air above him, earning a small whack on the head from Gaara who suddenly appeared from behind him.
"You're talking to the sky…?" The red haired boy questioned, raising an eyebrow at the bizarre behaviour of his friend (not like Naruto never IS strange in the first place).
"Eh? Ah… Haha! Of course not Gaara!" Naruto added, a odd tone in his voice. They both walked out behind the school, approaching a specific group of boys who had occupied an aged picnic table. "Hey everyone!" Naruto waved unceremoniously, looking around at everyone and taking a seat on a bench beside Sasuke and Kiba.
"Ah wuz finkin' " Kiba suggested, his voice distorted due to the sandwich he was currently eating. The brunette swallowed and continued, "D'ya guys want to go to the arcade tomorrow after school or something?"
"I can't tomorrow… the next day?" Shino spoke up.
"Yeah sure, whatever. The next day then? That alright with you all?" Kiba questioned, glancing around at the seven other boys around him.
"Yeah sure. I have nothing better to do anyways." Kankurou chuckled. ((My god! He speaks!XP ))
And after a hushed moment of silence, other than the noise caused by Kiba's disturbing chewing noises. "So Sasuke, is it? How do you like our horrid hellhole of a school?" Neji inquired timidly, Sasuke just shrugged in return.
"You don't seem to talk much. Ya alright in there?" Naruto poked Sasuke's side enquiringly.
"He doesn't need to talk, you ramble on enough for the both of you." The dog boy proclaimed, smiling.
"Shaddup Inuzuka!" Naruto stood to face Kiba, slightly pushing Sasuke in the process.
"How about you try and make me?" Kiba retorted, standing up as well.
"Fucker!"
"Asshole!"
The verbal abuse flew back and forth between the overly loud brunette and blonde. Sasuke smirked and lowered his head; forcing himself to hold in a small, quiet laughter. But, it didn't stay within him long. Sasuke laughed out loud at Naruto and Kiba. Naruto turned and stared at the dark haired boy's sudden outburst.
"My god… He knows how to laugh!" Kiba said in awe. Sasuke face just returned to its emotionless state.
"Everyone knows how to laugh, stupid!" Naruto coughed back, attempting to maintain their pointless argue. And sadly enough, it did carry on. And a large enough waste of time, since it in fact wasted the entire lunch hour. Immediately when the bell rang, Kiba and Naruto nonchalantly stopped fighting and turned to their peers as if there were no random foul language soaring throughout the air moments ago.
As everyone walked back into the school doors to continue the couple hours left of torture, Shikamaru elbowed Sasuke's side and mumbled, "How those two manage to stay best friends really beats me…" Sasuke nodded and chuckled quietly.
The day finally came to an end, the rushing teens scrambled out the doorways and headed home, in order to take full advantage of the time they had left for the rest of the day. And outside the schoolyard, a helpless raven-haired boy was being attacked once again, by his (already) rabid fan girls. "Sasuke" Sakura cooed, clinging onto his arm as if her life depended on cutting the circulation from the boys limb.
"I really feel sorry for you…" Naruto proceeded out the doors and towards where Sasuke was being mauled. How can they be so clingy to you already? Why didn't I EVER receive attention like that…? Naruto sighed to himself then began attempting to pry the brightly haired female off with the use of mere force. Sasuke was confused as Naruto harshly tore her hand free and pushed it to herself. Sakura stared from one boy to the other and turned her heel, walking away with a pouting look on her face. "That got rid of her…" the blonde nodded to Sasuke and began walking to the bus stop, the new teen following closely behind with his hands shoved in his pockets and looking down at the ground before him. Naruto looked over his shoulder; he's not THAT great is he? Gah! I sound so jealous. Naruto growled out loud to himself, earning a questionable look from others who passed by.
"Hey, Sasuke. You busy today?" Naruto inquired as they sat at the bench waiting for their only means of transportation at the moment. Sasuke shook his head, silent as always, Naruto thought to himself. "Want to hang out?" The blonde smiled.
"Yeah sure." Sasuke forced a smile in return. Naruto leaned back against the bench well, he isn't that bad… As the bus pulled up to where they sat, Sasuke continued, "You can come over to my place. My brother's kind of over protective so I can't really leave the house without his consent." They stepped onto the bus and took a seat next to each other on the worn-out barf coloured seats.
"Your brother? What about your parents?"
Sasuke paused then looked down, "Uh, they died when I was seven. Killed in a car crash."
Naruto eyes widened, an empathetic tone in his voice, "Yeah, my parents died a little while after I was born. I was an orphan until Iruka adopted me." His voice changed to a more cheerful (though fake) tone when he neared the end of his comment.
Sasuke nodded. "How did they die…?"
Now it was the blonde's turn to create and awkward silence between them. "Oh uh, just… an unpleasant incident. Yeah." Sasuke was about to counter Naruto's statement when the exuberant teen interrupted him, trying to change the subject. "So, uhm… what… kind of, umm- music do you listen to?" Sasuke just looked at him, a look in his face displaying the words 'do you seriously need to ask that?' "Uhhh… right. Emo huh?" Naruto chuckled uneasily. And the rest of the bus ride consisted on Naruto asking random, yet obvious, questions, attempting to get his mind off the particular event that was brought up between them.
The bus finally came to a stop, just a little ways away from where Naruto usually got off, just not on this occasion of being invited to someone else's place. The said blonde stared up at the towering building before him. Almost the entire structure was made of glass and Naruto had a strong urge to run an extremely large diamond over the surface of the place. He grinned inwardly, watching in his mind as the glasses shattered and all that was left were the floors and different rooms exposed to the air. How odd would that be? "Here it is," Sasuke mumbled, pulling Naruto out of his sadistic and chaotic daydream.
They walked in through the rotating doors, Naruto having yet another childish urge to continuously scurry around in them. But once again, he fought off that temptation. They were both completely silent, making their way through the extremely large and highly decorated lobby/waiting area/café, on the inside, Naruto was growling. Thinking about his apartment and the crappy, crowded lobby with a small population. For some reason, he felt odd here, looking around at all the men and women dressed in, somewhat 'finer' clothing. And Naruto parading around in his punk-like-with-numerous-holes-in-jeans getup. And then there was Sasuke too, his clothing may be in better condition than Naruto's but the depressed looking male didn't fit in very well either.
They walked into the very spaced out elevators, and instantaneously when the doors closed… the cheesy elevator music began to play. "Oh fuck no…" Naruto thought, out loud. Sasuke just looked at him and raised an eyebrow, thankful that no one else was in here to hear Naruto's foul language criticizing the music. The two were completely silent on the way up, and unfortunately… It was a large amount of floors upwards. The obnoxious dinging that occurred at every floor they reached bore a hole into Naruto's brain. Why the hell am I even here? I've only known the guy for a day! Naruto looked to his right at the other boy, the expression on his face showed him that… Sasuke was indeed thinking the same thing.
The large metallic doors finally slid open to reveal, yet another, exceedingly decorated corridor. They both walked wordlessly a little ways down the hall, stopping in front of a door with the metal-looking numbers '905'. This silence is seriously slaughtering my character. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO QUIET! Naruto mentally screamed. The door accepted Sasuke's card key and clicked open, revealing a quite plain yet modern looking sitting room.
"Nice!" Naruto exclaimed, breaking the silence as he wandered in through the door. He kicked his shoes off casually, acting as if he lived in the place.
"Yeah… Itachi is pretty forceful with keeping this place neat."
"Dude! I'm jealous!" Naruto joked, as he continued wandering around the room. "My apartment looks like a cardboard box compared to this set-up here."
"Hn." Was all Sasuke said back. He watched as Naruto moved closer aaaand… "Don't go in there. Anyone entering Itachi's room equals a very pissed off brother." Sasuke said, stopping Naruto right when his hand landed on the silver doorknob.
"Heh, yeah okay." Naruto flinched and quickly removed his hand. The now curios blonde just turned his heel and walked in the other direction, peeking into different doors and closets.
"Do you do this at everyone's house…?" Sasuke questioned.
"I like to check if their holding anyone hostage. Then I'll be pretty sure not to befriend them." Naruto said, with quite a serious tone. Causing Sasuke to create a questioning silence between them.
"Uhhh… Yeah."
The said blonde wandered over to a particular room, opening the door and peeking inside. "Holy shit! This your room!" Naruto invited himself into the room without full consent from Sasuke, but I don't think he cared anyways. The walls were all… black. Posters from numerous bands were pasted everywhere, overall… this definitely was the room of one depressed kid. "If only Iruka wasn't so ashamed of how I act and dress and all that… I would totally redo my room!" Naruto looked around, occasionally 'ooh-ing' and 'ahh-ing'. Damn… three things a now hate about Sasuke… 1) the ability to be so 'good looking' and attacked by fan girls 24/7… 2) He's fucking LOADED with cash… 3) He's way too god damn quiet.
"Hey Sasuke…?" Naruto discontinued with his wandering and paused to look at Sasuke, who was now leaning in the doorway. "This may be a pretty weird question but in your old schools and all that… were you always attacked by rabid girls? Or is this pretty much a onetime thing?"
"Hn, this has always occurred really…" was the brunette's response.
"And… you just ignore them? You don't care?"
"Not really." At that, Naruto glared at his new 'friend'.
"So you just let them cling to you and turn them down? Ruin their self-esteem? Do you have any idea how they would feel!" Sasuke just shrugged. "WHAT THE HELL!" Naruto's face was slightly flushed; he didn't really expect to explode at Sasuke like this… well, this early in their acquaintance.
"I don't really care much."
"How conceited can one get?" Naruto snarled. "I don't care if you are all depressed constantly. How your life is 'Oh so horrible'! You should at least acknowledge people instead of wallowing in your own self pity!"
"You don't know what its like to have everything like parents… then to lose it all. When my parent's died I-" He was cut off.
"MY PARENTS WERE MURDERED! And do you see me going all EMO and depressed! Ignoring every single person who tries to get into my life and help! You have WAY more things in your life than a whole lot of people on this earth do! I'm leaving. I can't take this shit anymore." Naruto just pushed past Sasuke and walked right out the apartment door. So much for a start at a good friendship between us!
Sasuke just stayed still in his doorway, taking in the words one my one. "Murdered…" He mumbled, walking over to he door and shutting it quietly after the blonde.
"Son of a bitch… keeping me after school just to share his sob stories and forcing me to walk home while I could've just ditched him in the first place!" Naruto paced around his room angrily, mumbling with a quite irritated tone roughly lining his words. "He has more than tons of people do! Well… except for the fact that he has no parents. But neither do I! And do you see me moping around like that! NO!" Naruto had grown quite aware that he was in fact talking to… no one. But that didn't really bother him much; yeah… talking to yourself was the one of the first signs of insanity. But this was something that that he would much rather discuss with… himself.
"Yo, Naruto? You okay in there? I hear you talking… quite loud. And angrily. So it is my duty to see what the hell is causing you to annoy me. I heard you from down the hallway damn it!" Iruka popped his head into Naruto's room, raising an eyebrow at the bothersome teen.
"Ah, your home now Iruka."
"Yes... I've become aware of that." Iruka retorted sarcastically. "How was school? Did the new kid show up…? Sasuke was it?" Iruka abruptly cringed at the death glare he received from his adoptive son. "Ah… err, I'll take that as a no."
"He's a conceited, rude, ignorant bastard! And I've barely even gotten to know him!"
"Naruto, don't insult people." That comment earned the middle aged man a fuming glare. "Err, anyways. Have you come to the conclusion yet that… perhaps your just jealous of him?"
"W-what? You serious? Me envious of Sasuke?" Naruto spoke with a mocking tone. That was the great thing about having Iruka as a 'parent' he didn't mind what Naruto said and how the hell he said it. As long as he got answers.
Iruka shrugged, "possibility." At that he turned his heel and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
The blonde teen raised a hand to his head and ran it through his untidy hair. "I can't be jealous! That's fucking stupid!" He collapsed back onto his bed. "Dammit. I need to clear my head. This day is too damn confusing."
Author's notes: Gah! That was pretty bad. I know, Naruto's currently acting horribly. But that will all help with my plot. Grins evilly
I was thinking this story should be approx. 5-6 chapters… Maybe more if I'm in a good mood. This sucks though, writers block already on the second chapter! Sorry it took so long to be posted up here. I'll try to take less time on the other chapters.
Yeah, sorry if Sasuke seemed a bit OOC-ish. It's just hard to keep him emo and keep his bastard-like attitude at the same time. He'll probably be more OOC in the later chapters too, just a warning to ya'll!
