EmikoKitsune: Hello everyone! This is a nice fic using the storyline of Hana Yori Dango (TV DRAMA) and using characters of Naruto! Needless to say, I do not own Naruto or Hana Yori Dango, I hope everyone will like this fic! I will try to keep things like Hana Yori Dango, and since the main character of that was a girl, Naruto may be a bit out of character…and maybe the other characters too " Well Enjoy!

My school is very weird. My school is different. In Konoha, the school is lead by four people. These people are not teachers, nor faculty of any kind. They're not even parents. They are four boys that attend the school. They are called "Flower Four" or F4 for short. Crazy, I know. Why is this school so crazy? Most importantly, what am I doing here? Well there's a simple answer for that. You see I am an orphan. I have no parents, and my home is a small place that was granted to me from the government. Apparently my father died in the line of fire being such a great policeman or detective or something. My mother died giving birth to me. Anyway, the principle of this school, Tsunade, happens to have taken a liking to me for some reason. Some people say it's because we are secretly related and she doesn't want anyone to know. This is because she happens to have blond hair too, but if that were true then Ino, a fellow classmate would be related to me as well. So much for that theory. Another theory is that she knew my father. That's not to far off since its possible living in Konoha. Yes, about that. My school is actually named after my town. Confusing much? I think so. So anyway, here I am in class. No one notices me and I am a bit sad, but relived at the same time. I don't belong in this school. I would go somewhere else, but Tsunade is the principle of THIS school. I hate it here. There are so many rich snobby stuck up people here its ridiculous!

Well back to the F4, I hate them! Not only are they snobby and rich, but also they are the richest and snobbiest people in the world! "BRIIIIING!" Oh great. I recognize that sound anywhere. "QUICK EVERYONE! Momochi Zabuza got a RED NOTICE!" And that would be the official notice. Our teacher is so stupid, saying that class is over, just because someone got a red notice. Ugh. A cutesy girl with short pink hair came up to me and I looked around to notice that the entire place was empty. They had all gone to see about the red notice that Zabuza got. "Excuse me…Naruto-kun is it? I don't know what's going on, but do we have to go somewhere now?" I looked up at her and couldn't believe it. She looked too…immaculate with a bright light shinning on her like that. I thought I would go blind. I sighed. "Zabuza got a red notice." She looked at me even more confused. "What does that mean?" I shook my head and began to explain to her. The poor girl, she would regret ever enrolling into this school. Heck, if it were my choice I would pick another one. ANYone. As we walked down the hallway to the cafeteria I explained things to Sakura. I told her all about F4 and how they control the school.

"The members of F4 are: Rock Lee, he only likes older women and is known for being married-lady killer. His family owns a financial company. Then there is Inuzuka Kiba, he's a womanizer, but he sticks to girls his own age, and his fortune comes from his family's tea ceremony business, but he's trying to become a dog breeder. Hyuuga Neji, this member is mysterious because nothing is known about him, except that he is the successor to the Hyuuga fortune, despite the fact that there are many members in the family. The last member is Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke is the leader of the F4 and the richest out of the F4 members. His brother is the current leader of the Uchiha fortune, but is looking to retire." "But what does this have to do with the red notice?" "When F4 gives you a red notice, which means they declare war on you. The whole school goes against you if you are red tagged."

When we got there I saw the poor guy standing there, beaten pretty badly, but at least he tried to be prideful by standing up. The F4 were there of course, and rather than a school it seemed more like a courtroom. Sakura stood next to me and asked "what did he do for F4 to declare war on him?" I was lucky enough to have witnessed the reason in person. "A couple of days ago, Zabuza was eating an orange. When Zabuza bit into the orange, some juice came out and a drop landed in Sasuke's eye." Yea what a prissy jerk! What the poor baby can't handle a little juice in his eye? Well anyway, back to the center of the cafeteria. Zabuza looked pretty beat, and his friend Haku was thrown into the middle of the crowd. Sasuke made a gesture to Haku who immediately refused to do anything he asked. This angered him and he went up to Haku. "This is what I wanted you to do." Sasuke moved over to Zabuza and punched him in the face. He then kicked him in the stomach when he was down. Haku went to help him, but was also beaten by Sasuke. Poor Haku was only trying to protect his friend. It was sad really. When Sasuke had enough of beating the two, he turned to the crowd and explained that if you are not with F4 then you are against them, and the whole school too.

I couldn't take it anymore, the crowd dispersed soon after that was said and I headed to my personal space. The outside stairs are always a place of comfort for me. This concrete stairway has a nice view of the town and some of the forest near by. I ran down the steps to the balcony area and screamed at the top of my lungs. "Those damn F4 bastards! They all suck! Those damn prissy pretty boys! They're so stuck up and stupid! Everything about them is stupid! It's no fun to be against your friends, they should burn in hell for trying separating friends like that!" I sighed content with myself and went back up the stairs.

Neji looked up from his reading to see a boy screaming on the balcony area of the stairway. He looked to see the face, but it was hidden. When Naruto left the balcony, Neji crept up and tried to see whom he was. Naruto had no idea that Neji had seen and heard everything he had said. Neji stared at the door as Naruto left. He shrugged and began reading again. Naruto was on his way to work after school let out. He liked to go to work because he worked at a snack shop. All the old snacks you can eat, a cool boss, and an even cooler co-worker. Sure, sometimes Hinata-chan was a little weird, but she was still cute in a way. He would date her if he had just met her, but he was to close to her now to do that. It would be like dating his sister. On his way there, he spotted Sakura on the street and waved to her as he ran by. She seemed distracted and didn't notice him. 'Ah well, back to getting to work.' Naruto ran down the street and got to the sweets shop. He ran in muttering a quick apology to Hinata for being late and having to cover for him as he ran to the back of the shop to change his clothes. When he came out Hinata blushed a little, "It's ok Naruto-kun, I don't mind." He smiled. "Thanks Hinata, I owe ya one!" Naruto laughed and scratched the back of his head. He wasn't really late, because his boss was always late anyway, so his boss never knew exactly what time Naruto got in from work. This wouldn't be his first time being late.

Naruto grabbed a snack and began to eat it. "Naruto-kun! You know that's a day old right?" She looked at him worried. He laughed with his mouth full. He quickly swallowed his food and smiled at her. "Don't worry, I have a strong stomach. I've only had a tummy ache once, and that was from milk that was much older than this dango!" "You know, Naruto-kun, I've noticed that you are really strong." Naruto looked at her interested in what she had to say. "When I was younger, people would make fun of me because I never talked to much. I was always too shy to say anything." Naruto nodded for her to continue. "In kindergarten you protected me against those bullies by punching them in the face." Naruto laughed "Yea! I managed to take them out with one punch!" "And in grade school you punched the guys who made fun of me and made me cry." "Oh yea I remember I punched them in the face too huh? They ran away like cowards after that!" "Even in middle school you protected me from those guys that insisted I go with them. You saved me so many times, and you are really kind Naruto-kun. I bet if everyone in the school knew how you were, you would be really popular." Naruto sighed, No one likes me, its not easy going to a rich snobby school when you're poor." "So, Naruto-kun, did anything happen at school today?" Naruto looked in thought for a moment before saying "Yea someone got another red notice" "Again? That's a lot of red notices lately." Naruto nodded and looked at Hinata. It was obvious that Hinata was the cousin of Neji, especially since they looked really similar and had the same last name. Naruto was sure they were related in some way, but never asked about it. She would tell him when she was ready, although it did bother him as to why she bothered working here if she was from a rich family. Maybe it was a coincidence? Hinata was always so down to earth; it was hard to imagine her being from a rich family. Neji always acted like a high and mighty prince, or at least it seemed like it.

Later, Naruto came home and saw Iruka. "Hi Iruka-sensei!" Iruka looked up from his paperwork to see Naruto. "Oh Naruto! You know better than to call me sensei, I'm your caretaker now. I haven't been your sensei since grade school." Naruto laughed "Sorry sorry, It's just I'm so used to calling you sensei…" Iruka sighed. "Ah well that's all right. Don't worry about it. How was school?" Naruto sighed he was a bit tired. "Oh it was ok, I'm just a little tired from work." "You know Naruto, you don't have to work, I can support the both of us just fine, don't feel bad to ask me for money." "I know I just want to make my own money, that's all." 'Poor Iruka, He's working hard, but I know he can't pay for everything.' "Oh Naruto! I have a surprise for you! Here it's my old bento box from when I was your age!" He gave Naruto a very big looking black bento box with golden decorations of flowers and a big fox in the middle of the top. "Uh, thanks but that's ok I don't need it." "I insist Naruto, it looks so nice doesn't it?" Naruto looked at the box unsure of what to do or say. "Thanks Iruka, I appreciate it." Naruto smiled at him and excused himself until dinner. He was worried about what other people would say to him about it, but he figured no one would notice someone as insignificant as him.

The next day, Naruto was happily on his way to school, after all, he had a sweets feast yesterday and ramen for dinner. Why shouldn't he be happy? The day went normal as usual. He couldn't wait for lunch so he could eat whatever it was that Ikura packed for his lunch. He sat down in the cafeteria and noticed everyone around him bringing in gourmet food, which was bought and served at school. He shook his head. He unwrapped the bento box and was about to take off the lid when he saw Sakura with two boys trapping her against the wall. "C'mon cutie, why don't you come eat with us? We'll have lots of fun eating together!" "Yea well treat you to some good food, and maybe we can have some fun after school." Sakura looked away. "N…No thank you…" "Aw c'mon cutie, what have you got to lose?" Naruto got up from his seat and stood next to them. "Hey Sakura-chan, I saved you a seat." He smiled at her, and she looked at him. "Ok Naruto, thanks" She managed to step to the side and get away from the two guys who were harassing her earlier. "Thanks again, I don't know what to do in those situations." Naruto smiled. "Oh, its nothing" Naruto focused on his lunch box again when he heard "Oh, What a cute lunch box! It's much cuter than mine!" Sakura held out a pink bento box that she had already uncovered.

Naruto stared at her in wonderment. "Are…you…are you a commoner like me?" He uncovered his bento box and found some onigiri inside. Sakura was about to answer when she gasped out loud. "Oh no that's moldy!" Naruto looked up at her again and sighed, "I guess you really do come from a rich family huh? Ah well don't worry, it's not moldy, its flavored flakes, here try one." He held out the green-flaked onigiri to her. Sakura took it and looked at it for a while. "Don't worry it's ok, trust me." Naruto smiled as she took a small bite and opened her eyes wide. "It's sooo delicious!" Naruto picked one up and began to eat as well. He was happy to have made a new friend in the school, and maybe more if he was lucky. This was the best day of his life so far. "Hey Naruto, I'm going to buy some peach juice, want anything? It's on me for the onigiri." Sakura smiled at him. "Sure I'll have an orange juice. Thanks Sakura-chan!" When she returned Naruto began explaining more about the school since Sakura was a new student. Lunchtime was almost over, and Sakura got up to throw her garbage away. She had her glass of unfinished peach juice in her hand and the garbage in the other. Sasuke came walking by just as Sakura had turned around to get out of her seat. She bumped into him causing the juice to spill on his shirt. He looked at her and everyone in the cafeteria went silent.
