Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Chapter One: The Mysterious Journal Part I

Uchiha Sasuke was a seventeen year old boy, attending 'Konoha's All Boy Private School'. He had what seemed to be the perfect life but anyone who really knew him, knew that his life was far from perfect. His parents were never home, and his older brother 'despised' him, and never came around. The relationship between the brothers wasn't always this way, but ever since Itachi had met a guy named Kisame, and the two had gotten together, Itachi had been more than distant with Sasuke and the entire family. Then, there was always the annoying blond haired boy that Sasuke hated more than anything, and each more, would get in his way. His name was Uzumaki Naruto, and this, is where the story begins.

"Oh, it's you, dobe." Sasuke snared, glaring at the blonde haired boy who had just accidently knocked into him, outside of the school. The sixteen year old with bright blue eyes, gazed into the cold ones of the Uchiha's, and a small blush crept on his cheeks as he glared back.

"Who are you calling a dobe, Uchiha-teme?!" Naruto asked furiously, his hands clenched at his sides. Sasuke just scoffed at him and made to walk past him. Naruto turned and glared at his back. "Baka!"

"You obviously haven't looked in the mirror lately, have you?" Sasuke asked, looking back at Naruto. Naruto growled at the comment, and advanced towards Sasuke, but Sasuke just turned his back to Naruto again, and walked into the school, the doors shutting behind him. Naruto glared at the closed doors, and crossed his arms.

"Baka Uchiha-teme!" Naruto called.

"Shouting at the door again, eh, Naruto?" Naruto spared a glance as his best friend, Inuzuka Kiba, walked up to him and joined him, just standing there. Naruto rolled his eyes at his best friend of nine years, and his boyfriend of two.

"Let's go, we don't want to be late for class," Naruto muttered. He walked towards the door, but Kiba gently grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. Their lips met, and the two shared a passionate kiss, which was too short, for both of their tastes. They broke apart when the warning bell rung, signiling that anyone who wasn't in class, had better get there- and quick. Naruto groaned and Kiba laughed, tugging on the blonde haired boys arm and pulling him into the school.

The day was going by quick, for Sasuke, anyway. It was lunch time, and he was standing at his locker. He put the combination it, and opened the unlocked locker, shoving his books inside. Frowning, and looking down, a blue book caught his eye. He had never seen it before, and wondered why it was in his locker. Bending down, he lifted the book into his hands, and stared it over. He figured that it was some sort of journal- but it was locked, and there was no key. Sasuke rose an eye brow, curiously, and closed his locker, the book still in his hand.

He stared at the front of it, the letters "SxU" were written on it, the S was in a bold black, the x was in red, and the N was in orange. He wondered what the SxN stood for, as his finger traced over the letters. He didn't know why he was so interested, but he was. He examined the lock, it looked anicent, as if a skelton key would be needed to open it. He looked up, and frowned when his eyes landed on two people making out. He recognized them both. Inuzuka Kiba had Uzumaki Naruto pinned against a locker, and they were furiously kissing, their eyes closed and their arms wrapped around each others.

It made Sasuke sick to watch the two of them, and as he walked past them, he muttered under his breath, "Get a fucking room." He muttered it loud enough for the two to hear him. Naruto pulled away from Kiba at the voice of his enemy, and spared a glance at the raven haired boy.

"You're just jealous." Naruto sneered.

"Jealous?" Sasuke asked, dryly, stopping and glancing at him. "Of what?"

"That Kiba and I are together, naturally," Naruto said. Sasuke smirked and rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah. I'm so jealous. I mean, I want you all for myself. I can hardly stand seeing you two ass-fuckers making out." Sasuke said, walking off. Naruto was about to follow him, but Kiba held him back.

"Don't let him get to you." Kiba said, wrapping his arms around Naruto's waist from behind and kissing a line down his neck. Naruto closed his eyes, enjoying being in his boyfriends arms. Naruto turned back around and Kiba forced him against the locker as their lips once again met. Naruto's hands slid under Kiba's shirt, and traced circles over his bare chest and Kiba smirked inwardly.

Sasuke sat in the cafeteria, alone at a table, staring down at the book in his hands. He traced his finger over the lock and frowned when suddenly, it sprang open. He found it odd, but shoving it off, he opened the book, to find that it was empty. A pen was attached to the inside. He took ahold of it, and moved it across one of the pages as he began to write. He didn't know why he was even bothering to waste his time on this stupid journal, but for some reason, he couldn't resist.

Journal,

I don't know why, but I can't seem to resist writing in you. This isn't how I usually spend my days, writing in some pointless book. But what the hell? I guess it couldn't hurt anything. Heh, I just had a run in with Kiba and his loser boyfriend, Naruto. Those two, make me want to get sick. Seeing them together like that, it just doesn't seem right. Naruto deserves better. Feh, I can't believe I just wrote that. The thing is, Kiba's a player. The entire school knows it, and so does Naruto. I hope one of these days, Naruto sees what kind of person Kiba really is. I don't even know why I care about that idiot... but, I do.

Sasuke.

"Yo', Uchiha." Sasuke quickly snapped the book shut, and the lock automatically locked itself. Once again, Sasuke found that strange. He put the thoughts off, and turned around in his seat to see his best friends, Sabaku no Gaara and Hyuuga Neji, standing behind him. The next thing he knew, the two were sitting on either side of him.

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, sounding a little more rude than he had intended to be.

"Whoa, what crawled up your ass and died?" Neji asked. He smirked at the look on Sasuke's face as Sasuke glared at him.

"Can it, Hyuuga." Sasuke said.

"What's that?" Gaara asked, looking at the book Sasuke held.

"Nothing." Sasuke replied, a little too quick. Neji rose an eye brow. "I have to go." Sasuke said and stood, with his book. He turned away, and walked out. Neji and Gaara shared looks, wondering what was wrong with him.

Sorry for making characters too OOC... but anyway, I hope you liked it! THIS tale, will probably be at least five parts, if not more. I didn't intend for it to be that way, but it looks like it's going to happen. Anyway, REVIEW!
