Chapter 5

Extra:

Guest Review for Chapter 4; Your question is answered down below : )
& Again, thank you very much for the reviews! Since they made me pretty damn happy and sparked my writing drive; I'll give you a sneak peek into Chapter 6 at the end! : D

OH and I recommend listening to Splitz by Designer Drugs, TAGRM, Strehlow ft Shamon Cassette once you reach the marked section of the this chapter. Just a heads up though, this is a very sexual song and fairly fast paced too. So it definitely might not be for everyone but it works with that part of the story quite well in my opinion. Options is yours though : )

"Hey, watch it!" shouted a voice, startling Naruto from his thoughts only a second too late.

Two forms clashes.

Naruto's hands jerking out awkwardly to help catch the mental looking rack with small shelves filled with glass containers the size of a mouthwash cap that contained some rather odd clumps of things and multiple colored liquids. However they all crashed to the floor and more than a few broke. Spilling their contents upon the fake marble in spreading puddles. "Shit, I'm so sorry."

"You're sorry?" replied the owner of the broken containers. "Do you realize I had been working on that project all summer and it was finally ready to be shown to Orochimaru today?"

"Er…"

"Of course not. Little kids like you never think about the consequences of their actions. But you probably don't even care about that, do you? I bet not. You even look like a troublemaker. This school doesn't need more of your kind, kid. You're lucky I still have some spare material to show or-"

"Whoa, dude." Naruto raised his hands up in a surrender. " Take it easy, don't gotta get all nasty, man"

The guy pushed up their circular thick black glasses, somehow managing to glint the lights built into the ceiling off his glasses, and stepped over the mess to get closer to the blonde. They kept going until Naruto felt his back press up against the stairwell wall.

The younger became very much aware that they were only 5'7 and the guy before them was at least 5'10.

"Do not, little kid, tell me what to do. If I wanted to exchange those ruined materials for sections of your spleen, sternum, heart, voice box or the freshly built scar tissue from a wound I cause, then I will." The older male pressed his finger into the areas mentioned, grinning some when he felt the blonde's body give a shudder. "I really do hate kids, you know…"

Naruto wasn't sure on how to even respond having never heard or even come across a person like this guy before. He felt a faint sweat drip down the back of his neck. He was also very much aware of the fact they were alone in this stairwell since Kakashi had let him out of class 7 minutes early; something the blonde was having second thoughts about.

Before anymore could be said though a sudden tanned hand ,a shade lighter than Naruto's own, planted itself right beside the pair's heads. It was quickly followed by a black sleeve covered arm that seemed to stretch a little over the muscles in the arms. The two followed the arm to the body; namely the face, it was attached to. Orange dyed hair, light brown eyes that held a dark gaze and a rather handsome face that was pierced four times if one went by pairs; three pairs of studs on the bridge of their nose and a snake-bite piercing with a fang stud, all of them black.

"Yahiko." The glasses wearing male stated with a deepening glare.

"You got some real loose nerve by showing your four-eyes around sub-level, Kabuto." Yahiko's eyes slid away from the unknown blonde's rather uncomfortable expression to the turned head of Kabuto; locking eyes with the lab mole. "Do you need a reminder of why this is my domain?"

Kabuto scoffed some, jerking his head back forward and leveling a glare down at Naruto that made the younger teen actually swallow nervously. "Tch."

This was not an expected outcome for both parties.

For Naruto is was bumping into this Kabuto person, knocking his project to the floor and getting shoved into the wall by the guy. And for Kabuto, it was having his project ruined and then being interrupted by Yahiko while he was about to dish out a retribution to the blonde idiot.

"Slither away, Kabuto."

The spoken to male shot a look at the newcomer but backed off after his eyes glanced to the bulker and physically stronger student. "Fuck you, Yuhiko."

"You'd love that wouldn't you? Being a bottom feeder and all…" There was an amused tone in the deep voice that left the orange haired male's mouth that made Kabuto tense with rage.

However the later left without another words, only stopping to pick up the rack and the three unbroken containers. The two remaining students looked after his form as he walked back the way he came. The silence was at all comfortable either but Naruto felt better in this guy's presence than the other one's.

"Thanks for the save."

Yuhiko looked back to the blonde. "You are aware that staircase B is for seniors only, correct?"

Naruto shook his head.

"Didn't think so." There was pause. "You know, you look kinda familiar, kid."

"I do?"

The older male nodded. "Yeah, can't place you though on where. Anyways, you should get going downstairs if you have Orochimaru. And I'm guessing it's him or else you wouldn't be around here."(1*)

Naruto licked his lips, pressing forward verbally with a question he had rolling around his head since the guy before mentioned something about this area being their domain. "Just a quick question but, uh, what'd you mean by this is your domain?"

Light Brown eyes bore intently down into bright blue from a 5'11 height.

"Another time, if you're unlucky, kid."

And with that Yuhiko walked to the stairs located a few feet away from the wall they had their hand still pressed against and walked up without a backward glance to the blonde.

"Sai told me you were late for lab, Naruto." Sakura commented as she started to peel the potatoes for their side dish.

Naruto paused mid re-reading of the instructions at hearing that. "You have his number already?"

"Really Naruto?" Came the slightly annoyed snap. Sakura even shot the blonde a look before lowering her green eyes back onto the third papatoe she was skinning. "It's been almost a week since we met him and you could do with being nicer to him."

"I'm not mean to him."

"You're also not that welcoming either and I don't know if that's just because you're obvious or you just don't like him." Here she pointed the peeler at him. "What's there to hate about him, Naruto?"

The blonde blinked then held up the book that held their recipe in it level with the pointed peeler, not wanting to get stabbed in case Sakura's fickle temper lashed out and made her act without warning. "Nothing, I don't hate him, Sakura."

"Well be nicer, hm? I'm sure we are all he has in this school."

Naruto didn't reply. The two continued to work on the recipe given by Kurenai. The blonde nearly cut his own finger when slicing the carrots for the soup, causing the teacher to show him how to position his fingers correctly upon the knife and deduct a few points. Sakura sighed at the point loss but knew her friend didn't have any cooking skills that didn't involve the work of just heating up something in the microwave.

"I wonder how you're going to survive once you get your own place, Naruto."

The blonde tossed her a grin as he finished off the carrots and moved on to measure from boxed broth via the instructions. "I'll have you as my housekeeper."

A freshly chopped potato to the head was his response.

The two smiled; the former conversation about Sai put on the back burner for now. Naruto knew he wouldn't hear the end of it until he proved it to sakura but he was fine with letting that be delayed for the time being.

It was almost hitting 6:40pm when the sound of a bell resounded within the household. A female shouted at her son to get the door despite being physically closer. The door was opened with a five minute delay as it took a bit for the son to actually reach the door and open it.

"How did you find out where I lived?"

"Kiba."

"That son of a bitch."

"Would explain his obsession with dogs."

Naruto cracked a chuckle at that. "Don't let him hear you call his mother a bitch, Sai. You'd get a black eye faster than you could blink."

Sai merely shrugged some obviously not bothered by what his choice of words may or may not cause to one Kiba Inuzuka. Then again the teen wasn't known to really think over the pro and cons of whatever came of his mouth when in conversation.

"Naruto, who's at the door?" Shouted a distant voice from deeper within the house.

Naruto sighed but yelled back while motioning for Sai to come in. "A weird homo dude, mom!" He led his fellow teen to the living room area where he took up a seat on the deep maroon colored sofa."You can park it here, man."

Sai nodded, not the least bit affected by the blonde's choice of description, and sat down in the matching armchair to the left, his backpack flopped down to rest against the side of the chair.

Before Sai could say the book guide ''thank you' to the offered seat a red haired woman walked into the room carrying a wooden spoon that was promptly brought down over Naruto's unexpecting head.

"NARUTO NAMIKAZE UZUMAKI! DID YOU JUS CALL THIS BOY WHAT I THINK YOU DID!?"

"Aghh mom that hurt!" Whined Naruto as he hunched over gripping his poor head.

"And i'm sure your words hurt this young man here." Snapped the woman. "I'm this brat's mother, Kushina Uzumaki."

Sai blinked. "Is that normal behaviour?"

"Pardon?" Kushina asked before she glanced down at her son with an 'oh' sound before looking vaguely amused back at her unknown guest. "For this family, I'd say so. Anyways, you staying for dinner, tall dark and handsome?"

Naruto gagged from his place on the couch. "You did not just refer to Sai as that!"

"Well excuse me for lacking a name, son. You two better be ready for dinner at 7." Kushina stated sternly before a mothering smile took over. "Now go downstairs and enjoy yourselves till then."

The two boys watched as she left. Naruto glaring at the back of his mother's head while Sai still tried to process a few details from that short and odd conversation. Heaving a sigh, Naruto stood up and headed for the hallway that would lead to the basement ; pausing when he realized Sai hadn't followed.

"Dude, you coming or not?"

Once in the basement made bedroom, the two took up seats upon the black couch that had seen better days. Naruto flipped on the t.v he had and pressed the center button of his xbox controller to turn on the gamer systeme.

"Er do you wanna watch netflix?"

"Sure."

The blonde nodded back and picked something about haunted houses. They watched two episodes before the silence in the air got too thick and Naruto broke it. He wasn't one for silence nor staying still for too longer if there was the option not to. Mainly during school as of now.

"So, why are you here?"

"Sakura said you wanted to finish the lab project here and that you were expecting me." Sai answered, eyes still trained on the t.v screen. "I already figured out she lied when you looked like you weren't expecting me."

"Damn, mendling woman…" Naruto muttered under his breath, catching Sai's attention.

"Do you not like me, Naruto?" came the blunt question.

The blonde sighed and set the controller down onto his lap. He hadn't planned on this at all and knew he only had Kiba and Sakura to blame for the forward push. With an exhaled breath a brush of his bangs he turned his head to look at the dark eyed teen seated beside him. "Look man, I have nothing really against you, I guess."

"You are unsure?"

Naruto scratched his cheek. "You could say that."

Sai held the blonde's gaze, brows furrowing in the same manner as before when they first met in Orochimaru's classroom. The teen wasn't sure on how to go about this type of thing but pressed forward none the less as the weird feeling to do so kept pressing him whenever he and Naruto were together with the others. He mulled over their past interactions and blinked once he recalled a memory from the dinner.

"Are you uncomfortable because I am gay?"

There.

The blonde tensed.

"I see." Sai muttered not quite able to reach a regular volume of voice for some reason.

Naruto made a bit of a disgruntled face and shook his head some feeling kinda guilty. He swallowed and brought an arm up to drop his hand upon Sai's shoulder. "It's just...not normal so I guess I don't know how to-"

"Not normal?" the other interrupted with lifted brows.

"Uh, I mean.." Naruto dropped his head and faced forward again. "Fuck, can we not do this?"

"I'd like to say yes but I don't think what I'm feeling with allow it."

"Feeling...?" The blonde looked confused now rather than uncomfortable and annoyed when he heard that. His blue eyes reflected the confusion easily once they were focused back onto Sai's face. "Do you... shit man, do you like me?"

There was a moment of tense silence, on Naruto's half, and a processing silence on Sai's as the later mentally dissected the question. After all there were many versions of LIKE that he had read about but discerning which one the blonde was getting odd over took some figuring out.

"As a person, I believe the answer is yes."

"Uh...so that means you don't want to see my dick or anything, right?"

"What dick?"

After dinner and the akward but reassuring enough conversation between them before the meal, the two boys went back to Naruto's room. This time Naruto put on a 2-player fighter game, tossing one controller to the pale boy.

"Game's pretty good, but the kill scenes are what you really play for to see." The blonde explained while they went through the many characters to select.

"Kind of like Caliber?" asked Sai after finally selecting a character.

Naruto nodded some and set the place they would have their characters fight it out. "Ya, Mortal Combat is way better as you'll see in a min."

They played for a good half hour before Naruto's mom came down dressed in a nice red dress that matched her hair with a simple pendant the blonde recalled his father having given to his mother last year for christmas.

"Alright Naruto, Miko is here to pick me up so I'll be heading out to your father's boss's galla then the hotel for our anniversary so you'll be alone til you get back home from school tomorrow." Kushina paused as her eyes slide over to Sai. "Unless you're friend keeps you company, I don't mind you having a sleepover, do you guys still call it that at 16(*2)? Anyways, just keep the house as it is and no other friends are allowed over."

Naruto nodded not even going to point out the fact him and Sai weren't close enough friends with one another to have that option yet but kept his mouth shut and nodded.

"It was nice meeting you, Sai. Hope you two boys enjoy the rest of your night and don't stay up late."

A few minutes after she left and in Naruto's opinion, perfect timing. Kiba texted the suggestion of going to a party that anyone above freshmen year were invited to. A junior Kiba met earlier in the week named Kankuro gave the invite.

The blonde looked up from his phone to Sai.

"Hey dude, wanna go to a party?"

From the outside the party didn't seem all that inviting if one was to judge based off the few scattered people on the front lawn. More than a few were laid out or puking up their insides. The rest were talking among themselves but in the grand scale of the number seen; it wasn't many.

"Sure you want to go?" Sakura asked softly feeling her stomach roll and dip in a nervous discomfort. "It doesn't look like there are a lot of people...maybe it's already over?"

"At 10 o'clock?" Kiba asked with a raised brow.

Naruto cut the engine before turning in his seat to look at his pink haired friend. He smiled at her easy at seeing the distressed look upon her face. "Sakura, I just drove illegally to get us here. If I get in trouble I at least wanna have a good time. So Relax. We'll be there together and if it really is dead or sucks balls, then we'll leave."

HOOOOOOOOON~NK!

Kiba and Sai both winced when they had seen Naruto's head make contact with the steering wheel rather hard. And the extra extended horn sound of the car must not be helping. They looked to Sakura who flushed a little but then quickly gathered herself up and moved to get out of the car.

"Don't say balls when referring to the genital area around a lady, Naruto!"

"Dude!"

Naruto just groaned and shut off the car. "Yeah, Kiba..." The blonde sat up and brought a hand up to rub at his forehead; a light bump was already forming. He was glad he had let his hair grown out so the bangs took care of keeping the probably reddening lump from view. "Let's just go, I need a drink."

"I'm with you on that, man." Kiba replied before swiftly thumping Sai on the shoulder followed by a shove to get the other going out the car since there was a tree right outside Kiba's side that prevented the brunette from exiting the car via that door. "Move it, buddy!"

Sakura waited for the boy just on the sidewalk having lost her sudden spark of boldness the moment her heeled sneakers touched the pavement. The boys joined her; all four of them staring at the light up house like it was a memorable sight. Then again this would be their first grown party what didn't involve parents, childish decorations and only chips and soda.

"I'm not gonna ask if we're gonna go in cause we are, no doubts about it, lady and gents." Naruto stated as gazed at the two story house one would see more up in the country rather than in the city. "So who's ready to get plastered?"

Kiba gave a clapped his hands then spread his arms til his elbows were parallel with his sides and made a 'bring it on' kind of motion that might also remind someone of flippers if they were drunk already. Sakura gave a strong head nod of determination and Sai merely slipped his hands into the tube pocket of his light grey hoodie and gave a faint head nod as well.

Inside they went.

(A/N: play song; optional of course : 3)

The party was nowhere near dead. Infact the music blasted and shook the very building with pulsing vibrations of the base in the current trap song playing. A few people in the mass of bodies had some glowing tube like necklaces and bracelets on that made them glow in the slightly dimmed lit room. The dim lightning was easily made up for by the few small strobe lights and multicolored electronic discoballs that were manually installed on the walls and ceiling.

It was a amazing how so many people could fit rather comfortably within the house without fights breaking out or people just getting bumped. Then again the smell of weed in the air most likely helped a lot to keep the crowds chill.

"Holy shit." exclaimed Kiba; brown eyes blown wide at the sight.

"Quite misleading, I think." commented Sai as he also took in the in full swing party that managed to not spread out any further than the inside doormat the teen was currently standing on.

Sakura's green eyes rolled over the people. Some were half dressed, boys missing shirts, girls in skimpy clothing and some others were dressed in casual hang-out wear like Sakura herself was. Her green eyes zoomed in on a few older faces; a few she could pick out as senior's from their high school thanks to her memory bank."I thought this party was for our age group only?"

"No party is only meant for one age group, Sakura." replied Kiba; Naruto giving a nod of agreement while patting her shoulder in an attempt to ease her.

The blonde opened his mouth to off some relaxing words to his pink haired friend when a hand suddenly fisted the front of the black t-shirt he had over the long-sleeved red shirt he had underneath to keep the evening chill at bay. Before he could even say anything he found himself getting tugged into the area where most of the dancing was taking place and was promptly shoved against the nearest wall between where he had been standing beside his friends and the dance area.

The blonde's mouth snapped closed, as Sakura's own dropped open, when the one attached to the small hand that dragged Naruto off turned around and backed up on him until a skirt covered butt swished and grinded to the beat of the music on his crotch.

"Oh...my...god." whispered Sakura in utter surprise at the other girl's actions to her friend. The girl was barely dressed in a black schoolgirl cut short skirt, heels of matching color and a very loose pale pink tank top that pulled taunt only around the girl's breast. "Don't tell me all the girls here are gonna be sluts."

"I won't complain." Kiba stared as his blonde friend got into the girl's movements and gripped her hips to move with them only with only a few awkward slip ups when she suddenly switched up hip movements to match the changes in the bass boosted song. "In fact…"

Sakura and Sai blinked as the brunette walked away from them to approach a girl in jean shorts and a black, 2 sizes too big, linkin park hoodie with a nose ring that glinted whenever a strobe light went off. They watched as the slightly older looking brown haired girl listened to whatever their friend said with a thoughtful expression forming before they gave a nod and led Kiba to the dance to stop just a few feet from Naruto and the girl dancing still dancing lewdly against him.

"Relax Sakura, he said. We'll be there together, he said." The pink haired girl said as she glared at the two boys. "Boy's are just so unreliable."

Sai titled his head some at hearing that; his gaze shifting from the two to look down at Sakura whose face flushed as she realized what she just said and who was still with her. "Should I apologize?"

"I didn't mean you. Just stupid boys who think with their...um-"

"Penis."

Sakura just nodded before asking her remaining friend if he'd like to go find where the refreshments are. The two left their friends beside as they got swallowed up by the crowds in their search.

A/N: Chapter 5 is officially posted!

*1 - Sub-level in the floor on the east building just before the main floor. It's mainly for seniors who need a place to work on finals, projects, have a moment of down time, etc without the interruption of the youngers years. It was brought into works by the previous senior graduating class when younger years kept interrupting or distracting the senior while they worked. And YES, this area does play a part in the story as you'll find out later ; )

*2 - I actually forgot their ages when I was writing and the time line I had set. So I went back to change a few little details which I'll just explain now so you those of you that read the previous chapters already don't have to go back and check them. The time frame of the story really started originally when they are reaching the end of their final year of middle school and going to high school the following year. I kinda forgot that but instead of prolonging the story to catch up to the right age for where the plot is at now, I just tweaked their past. So the story really gets going when they end middle school, attend freshman year at Leaf High before joining KHS for their junior year and so on. So they're already 16 or about to be of that age and their already growing so they don't have much of a kid face left. Just look at their pictures during the Naruto Shippuden time area after Naruto gets back from his training trip with Jiraiya.

Now with that outta the way

I promised you guys a preview of chapter 6 so here it is.

...Sakura yanked hard on the back of Naruto's black t-shirt making the blonde choke on his smooth words toward the dirty blonde haired girl he was currently working on.

"One moment, yeah?" Naruto smiled charmingly, a practiced skill of a week in front of his bathroom mirror, before removing his forearm off the wall beside the blonde's head so he could turn around and shoot Sakura an annoyed look. "What, Haruno?" came the faintly gritted reply to the yank on his t-shirt.

"Go help out your friend Naruto." She crossed her arms over her white hoodie clad chest.

"What friend?"

Sakura reached up and covered those whisker like scars on Naruto's face and squeezed the teen's cheeks a bit as she forced his head to look in the direction of Sai; who was now looking away from the talking group more than he had been before. "That one."

Naruto looked them over. Two girls and two boys. Three of them were smiling as the red haired girl with glasses in the middle talked to Sai. The fourth one was one of the boys looking around while taking disinterested sips from their red solo cup. And Sai looked pretty much the same minus his expression not shifting in the slightest. All in all everything looked fine to the blonde and he said as much to the unnecessarily worried pink haired girl still holding his face much to his annoyance; what if the blonde he was charming took the Sakura's contact the wrong way and decided he wasn't worth it?

"Damn it, Sakura he's fine." Naruto cut in as he saw her worried expression change to a stern one. "Leave the guy be and let me get back to what I was doing before you so rudely inter-"

A/N: Short I know, but I'm sure you'll forgive me...?

Hope you're as excited as I was when finally getting to write chapter 6! Is it lame that im feeling giddy since I'm writing the story? xOx

Read & Review please; those really do keep me going!
