Over the next few weeks Naruto's and Sasuke's class had been learning about the horrible nature of the KGs. Naruto paid attention diligently, he didn't want to seem academically challenged to his new teacher like he was labeled with Mizuki. He was doing much better than before, Sasuke on the other hand was doing miserable, not academically but he just felt awful listening to all this talk about how KGs were blood thirsty monsters.
" Well class that does it for the lesson today. Here is the homework for tonight." said Sota Tamaka
Naruto was busy scribbling notes. Sasuke laid his head on his desk, his stomach felt weak and he felt like throwing up. Naruto looked over and noticed Sasuke looking gloom.
" Hey, what's wrong?" asked Naruto leaning over
" Huh," responded Sasuke just noticing Naruto, "oh nothing. I'm just feeling a bit stressed."
" Oh…okay." said Naruto feeling like Sasuke wasn't being completely honest with him
The teacher gave them their assignment and soon after the bell rang. Naruto ran to catch up to Sasuke.
" Hey Sasuke wait up." said Naruto just catching up to him
" Yeah?" responded Sasuke
" Hey…want to go get some ramen?" asked Naruto, " My treat."
Sasuke couldn't refuse, he hadn't seen much of Naruto lately, mainly because Naruto joined the Youth ANBU. The boys walked to the Ichiraku Ramen Bar and sat down.
" So…what's been going on with you? I haven't seen you in a while." said Naruto
" Oh I've been…busy." said Sasuke
" Oh." said Naruto sounding a bit hurt
" How's the Youth ANBU?" asked Sasuke
" Going good. I've gotten stronger you know." said Naruto
" That's good." responded Sasuke
The boys continued with their ramen, but they didn't speak much. After they finished they talked for awhile and then left.
Sasuke walked home and along the way came to a decision.
" I've got to tell him." Sasuke said to himself
Naruto came to his apartment, he walked in and closed the door. He jumped on his bed, exhausted from a day of studying and Youth ANBU training in the morning. For Monday, Tuesday, and Friday he goes early in the morning for an hour of training for Youth ANBU and they decided when they would have meetings during the days so he was expected to appear when ever they called him. He was exhausted from the schedule they had him on. He was tired but still that didn't even really bother him, what really bugged him was how Sasuke was acting. He and Sasuke had always hanged out together but lately it was like Sasuke was avoiding him.
" Did I do something wrong?" Naruto asked himself
Naruto didn't know what had changed but he wanted things to go back to how they were.
Over the next two days Sasuke had been trying to think of a way to tell Naruto he was a KG. He had to. Naruto was his blood brother after all. They had sworn brotherhood, to never keep secret from each other. He had to tell Naruto the truth or he could risk losing him as a friend.
" Argh! Damn why is this so hard?" Sasuke asked himself
Sasuke stayed in class during lunch and was alone in the classroom, he decided to write Naruto a letter. He was trying to think of the write words to say.
Dear Naruto,
" No." Sasuke said thinking it sounded like a love letter
Hey Naruto,
Still no good, sounded more like a normal conversation they would have and this was serious.
I have something very important tell you
Still no good, didn't want to worry him.
After crumbling and throwing away the paper in the trash. He looked outside, some of the kids were playing Football. Naruto was playing with some of the other boys from the Youth ANBU. They all looked like they were having a lot of fun, they weren't worried about anything. Sasuke missed that, he wanted to go back to how it use to be. He wanted to go eat ramen or go see a movie, or do something with his friend without feeling like someone was going to find out his secret. It was like he was a prisoner in his house, even though no one was forcing him to stay home, it felt like everyone was.
" What would they think, if they knew?" Sasuke asked himself
He didn't want to find out. He looked back outside, he saw Naruto on the ground holding his head. A lot of the kids were around Naruto
What happened? Sasuke wondered
Sasuke went outside and walked over to Naruto.
" Hey what happened?" asked Sasuke sounding worried
" Nothing…ow… I just got tackled hard heh heh." said Naruto holding his head
" That's not something to laugh about."
" Yeah like you care." said one of the boys in the crowd around
" And you are?"
" None of your business." said the boy
" Don't mind him Sasuke." said Naruto
Sasuke held out his hand for Naruto but was then shoved from behind and landed on the ground.
" Hey! What was that for?!" Sasuke demanded
" Go home KG!" shouted the boy
Sasuke froze, someone had figure out his secret.
" Hey what the fucks your problem!" Naruto yelled
" He's a damn KG." said the boy
" Stop spreading lie's, you've been saying shit like that all week."
Sasuke rose to his feet, all he heard was Naruto defending him.
" Sasuke tell this jackass that he's full of shit." said Naruto
Sasuke just stood. He just looked at the ground.
" Sasuke?" said Naruto sounding hurt
" See, even he won't deny it. KG trash." said the boy as he punched Sasuke in the face
Sasuke felt pain but not from the punch, the way Naruto said his name is what bothered him.
" Hey!" said Naruto
The boy saw Naruto coming and kicked him right in the stomach.
" Oof." muttered Naruto as he hit the floor clenching his stomach
" Naruto!" said Sasuke as he jumped to his feet and rushed the boy
The boy threw another punch, but just as it was about to hit him, Sasuke felt his eyes change. Suddenly everything seemed slower and Sasuke caught the punch.
" Told you." said the boy
Everyone was shocked, Sasuke's eye were red. Naruto saw it too.
" Sasu…ke" said Naruto shocked
" See! He is a damn KG." the boy said with hate
Sasuke looked around, everyone looking at him, some looked confused and some looked angry, but he didn't care what they thought, there was only one person's reaction he cared about. Sasuke looked over to Naruto who had a hurt expression on his face.
Sasuke felt horrible and started to run home.
" Sasuke wait!" Naruto yelled after him
Sasuke just kept running and Naruto followed him.
