Fanning the Flames

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Brick upon brick molded together to make a complete building in which students went to school to be 'educated' and molded to enter society as adult citizens that's what the media says anyway. High school is to say the least a confusing time and a person's experiences there insure that a student will not leave the same as when they entered. For both Naruto and Sasuke that stage was in motion from the moment they kissed on the roof of a building for the second time under very dissimilar circumstances then the first, and for unsuspecting Naruto, not at all good. The bell rang through the air signaling for all students to report to their next class, just as Naruto pulled away from Sasuke. Pink danced across his nose as he grinned looking up at Sasuke who whispered for Naruto to go, which Naruto did not argue because he felt nausea rising from the lingering anticipation.

Sasuke watched the suddenly small looking blond hop to door on his way. Sasuke fell to the ground sickened with what he had done in all honesty he could comprehend his emotions for the boy like a map, but the actions he was taking and the reasons for them were disgusting. He felt dizzy and fading as he felt his temperature rising. Sweat mounting his brow. It all went black.

When Sasuke opened his eyes, he saw he had retched all over his hands and knees and in a nasty puddle in front of him. He flung his body another direction to avoid getting sick again at the sight of his vomit. Not that he didn't deserve too. He was completely sick with himself to lead Naruto on like that…for Naruto to say those things to him…he should die, well probably wouldn't have to wait. Sasuke knew how he could use Naruto to escape his fate, but would he. He had accepted and returned Naruto's proclamation for more then one motive. To have Naruto close would be like having an ace in hand of cards, and Sasuke knew cards well he knew how to play them and with Naruto he stood a chance. He wanted his freedom and knew he could get now.

However, could he do it? He had already realized how he hurt Naruto, a boy who had experience so much the same pain as himself he could call him a kindred spirit, just like Itachi had hurt him. And more then that had fallen in love he was sure of that now. Even with other dark intentions when he heard Naruto speak with such desire that resembled that his own he knew. The raven was guilty and in love a bad combo for his plan. The reason that stood out the most the only one, that kept Sasuke from finding the edge of the roof and free falling a couple stories to the ground was that he wanted Naruto to be happy. As happy, as a person could be and if Naruto was happy to be with Sasuke then he was going to be with him. Even though was probably endangering him. Sasuke was not going to bother with modesty now, he never had, by saying if he left or had said no that he wouldn't have broken Naruto's already busted heart. Sasuke battled the demon in his head knowing Naruto would be waiting for him after school in a few hours rushing and shutting out the many voices that raged in him and decide he was getting nowhere.

"I'll tell him everything. I'll tell him the truth," He announced to nobody 'And then I'll move from there.' He got up and almost stepped in his own puke noticing his pants again, 'But I'll clean up first,' Sweat drop

The News Room

Ino Yamanaka a tall platinum blonde girl, with clear blue eyes that see and report everything. The school's number one newspaper reporter! Also the only newspaper reporter, but the best nonetheless. She had been responsible for the latest 14 exciting articles on the Sasuke, Naruto fights (of course she may have pushed the limit on staying one sided, but she was the co-captain in the Sasuke fan club), but Naruto had been absent from school a lot the newspaper had stopped selling after the article about how Naruto had probably chickened out and transferred. Naruto was back today but Sasuke and he had skipped out at lunch to fight elsewhere?

"sigh It's not fair they skip out and I pay for it,"

"Ino Come in!" the door creaked open leaving much for Ino to look forward to when she entered to her doom.

"Look, they didn't show I can't help-,"

"Ino as a school reporter it's your responsibility to sell papers with exciting stories about the school….BUT IT IS ALSO YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING TRUTH TO YOUTH OF THE SCHOOL BORING STORIES ARE ALL OVER BUT YOU HAVEN'T PUBLISHED A SINGLE ARTICLE IN THREE WEEKS. THE SCHOOL IS LOOKING TO US TO REPORT THE NEWS AND KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE AND BRIGHT WITHIN ALL THE STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND EVEN THIS COMMUNITY! NOW GO INO FIND YOUR STORY SEARCH LONG AND HARD BUT YOUR JOURNEY WILL BE REWARDED!" His speech ended with thumbs up and his hair blowing in nonexistent wind. Yep this was the head of the school paper Rock Lee a green wearing, blow-cut, bushy eyebrows, and a unhealthy worship of the school's gym teacher. Ino absolutely hated working with this loser! But she took her chance and zipped out of that room before he started again, or that was her plan until an unholy idiot entered the room at that moment. Ino stared up at the boy who looked familiar…really familiar.

"Hello sir I'm Sai a new student at this school and would like to become a reporter," Ino looked up at this person he wasn't sane was he?

"Oh well are you prepared to SUFFER LONG HOURS SEARCHING AND SIFTING THROUGH LIES AND RUMORS TO FIND THE TRUTH AND BRING JUSTICE TO THE SCHOOL!" Lee stood on his desk again Ino looked at the dude and expected him to run but he was looking at the ground.

'This dude doesn't know what he's got himself into I have to get him out besides he could be competition in the field I work alone.' Ino worked up a big smile she used when talking to Lee. "Oh, Lee I already have the school covered and I think-,"

"You Ino have been slacking and I think a new partner would be perfect, ARE YOU READY SIR?" He still looked up at lee with a big smile.

"YOU BET I'M WAY INTO SCHOOL SPIRIT AND BRINGING LIGHT TO THE DARK SECRETS HIDING IN THE SCHOOL!" Sai was glad he played a reporter in his last play and this person was a happy lunatic. Sai was willing to sell himself to get access to take a shot at humiliating Uchiha. Getting in good with this loser was all part of the plan.

'This Sai is like him!'

"WELL THEN SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW PARTNER INO HAHAHAH!" Lee put his leg on the desk and stood and Ino wanted to rip her eyes out when she say the new kid do the same.

"PLEASE TO MEET YOU HAHAHAH!"

"Ino? Look she's so happy she's crying!"
