Fanning the Flames

Naruto did indeed have the worst night of his life to be precise he had the worst night of his life everyday that week, you see Sasuke thought it was hilarious to come in and order ridiculously until Naruto was off his shift. No one would believe Naruto when he told them that Sasuke was the worst customer in world history, since Sasuke left huge tips to everyone, but Naruto. The only people who seemed to be on Naruto's side were Neji and Garra, but Garra was mostly on bodyguard duty that week and couldn't refuse to let Sasuke in because he brought more business. Neji doing the dishes in the back never witnessed the rudeness either, but wasn't pleased when the Uchiha would order so much and then send back full trays of food. Then again, none of them knew that Sasuke everyday that very same week would follow Naruto around after school looking for clues. So, far the only thing he learned was Naruto lived with his older brother and they would pick on each other though he could only tell by Naruto's yelling, by listening to the door. He knew now that Naruto ate ramen every meal of the day and made the most horrendous sound when eating. An odd thing though was that Naruto would play with the children in the park he had seen it done three times until the mother saw Naruto and shooed him away. Sasuke was starting to notice the bullying problem, which was strange; Naruto seemed able to defend himself.

Their main routine was the never-ending battle they had on the stairwell during lunch all the students' even upper classmen would attend, they even started selling tickets. The teachers would try to get people to go to lunchroom or outside, but ended up attending as well. When consulted to stop because fighting was 'not tolerated at school,' they just moved it to the gym and called it sparring. The lunch workers were furious they weren't getting any business and complained, but they just ended up selling food at the fights in carts. It became talk of the town and soon the school newspaper would give reports on the bouts like who got the most hits, who fell the most, what moves were used, and the most popular how did the rivals look afterwards, popular bruises. Then the divide happened fans would sport tees the art club made of their chosen fighter half the school were the Uchiha fans and the other were the Uzumaki.

"Had enough teme," Naruto panted wiping some blood from his brow and smiling. He had to admit this was kind of fun and he was more popular to some people were starting to become his friends slowly, but surely.

"You wish loser," Sasuke smirked readjusting his stance. However, the fans were annoying as ever this was interesting and wore Naruto out and he wouldn't notice Sasuke following him after school. Naruto charged forward Sasuke got ready when he saw Naruto's smile drop and pale. Naruto gasped falling forward and sliding on the slick gym floor the dizzy feeling had come back, but it never got this bad. The dizziness he got when fighting Sasuke was always just an annoyance it would just make him feel lighter and knotted, but this time he felt his legs give out underneath him right about when Sasuke had that annoying smirk.

Silence filled the room, but in one swift motion, Sasuke and Naruto were gone. Outraged by the sudden revelation the fans went into confusion searching and shoving while teachers tried to get order. Sasuke used this as a distraction to take his load to the drop off center aka the nurse. "Teme, put me down," Naruto hissed as they neared the nurse trying to keep his voice down.

"Hn," Sasuke put Naruto's feet on the ground and watched him stumble forward before preventing his fall with a swift grab of the collar. "Right, come here," Sasuke, said picking him up bridal style ignoring the protests. He could probably dingoes Naruto's problem he was tried from work where Sasuke worked him so hard he should get paid overtime, lack of lunch, stress from school and tests, running from fans good or bad depending from which side, and time were Sasuke made him want to scream those little whiskers of his face so his remedy: a nap. "You're probably just tried,"

"Nah, I don't feel tried,"

"Well, your face has been flushed lately, hmp maybe you are smart enough to just catch a cold," Sasuke bored expression placing the blonde-haired person on the bed and leaning on the desk staring.

"Y- You jerk!" Naruto pouted and made his red face flush deeper. Sasuke just turned his attention to the door knowing Naruto hated being ignored "Hey stop ignoring me!" yes nothing was better then the angry sound of a moron then the angry sound of a moron in pain. Sasuke started playing with the folder next to him while Naruto was busy trying to figure out what was wrong with him. 'Hm, that pink-haired girl to go home because she stained her pants okay I didn't need to know that, Kiba-,' Sasuke finally realized his excellent opportunity and ran over and stuck a thermometer in Naruto's mouth when he was about to comment on what Sasuke was doing. He went straight to the U's and right away found Naruto's name in big bold letters on the paled yellow sheet. 'Okay fifteen years old, male duh, parent or guardian Konoha city huh? Siblings none, what then who's Naruto living with unless that Kyuubi guy is living with him, but I thought he would have been found guilty and off to prison unless Naruto is sheltering him, but why wouldn't they know that it would be obvious to check his place or least keep tabs on him. What else he's got below average grades, what a minute contacts his number that's handy,' Sasuke looked up to Naruto who was sleeping or resting his eyes Sasuke heard people moving in the halls 'Shit!' the bell was going to ring soon and the nurse would return Sasuke copied down the number and closed the book. Just as Sasuke was leaving, a small arm reached out and stopped him. He looked down at the blond with disheveled hair he looked deadly with determination.

"Why have you been following me?" Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly a pen or something rolled on the floor that was synonymous with Sasuke's heart stopping and falling into his gut. The look and Sasuke's face of surprise didn't last long and was replaced with the look of arrogance and admiration.

"How long have you known?"

"Two days, but I guess you just suck at it stalker," Naruto crossed his arms with his own cocky smile.

"Hm, I didn't mean to flatter you I have my own priorities," Sasuke let his smirk fade to less intense glare.

"Well, unless you want to share why with me I'm calling the cops you see I don't know about were you come from, but here it's illegal," Sasuke leaned back against the desk crossing his legs settling for the long conversation.

"I just want to know something, and if you knew why didn't report it? You want something don't you?"

"You are smart, yes I want something and first off I want to know why," Sasuke allowed a sigh of defeat pass his lips.

"Fine then I'll come by your place this afternoon,"

"Why not tell me now?" Naruto asked not happy with waiting.

"The nurse is going to come back and the bell is going to ring now," As promised the bell rang and Sasuke left Naruto to the teddy bear curtains and sheets.
