I hope you know I'm not planning on ditching this story any time soon I am just extraordinarily bad at updating regularly. This story is dedicated to the following people, shobe09, UchihaUzumakiBaby, Higure-san and 'the man' (you know who you are). Lol. As no one offered suggestions on pairings I have decided it will be SasuNaru, NejiGaara, ShikaIno, KakaIru and one-sided ItaNaru. The characters may be a bit OOC but I hope it isn't too bad. Hope you like this chapter.

Summary

Once there was a world of brave knights and towering castles. A world where fairness and equality was within all and happiness was a constant presence. This was the dream of King Arthur of Camelot… a dream that quickly became a nightmare. With Guinevere's betrayal and the sudden falling of Camelot Arthur was becoming a broken man. When he left eventually to go to Avalon he was falling apart and could not find rest. Now he has returned for the final time but will he lose his heart to Guinevere again?

Naruto woke up a little while later to find Iruka standing of him looking concerned. Naruto however wasn't paying much attention to that as he slowly lifted his arms to prod his cheeks and face in pure astonishment. It was real. Looking at Iruka happiness leapt into his sky blue eyes and he wanted to cry. He was himself again for the first time in so long but because of this revelation he barely heard Iruka was talking to him.

"Naruto, how are you feeling? Do you want to go to the nurse's office?" Iruka asked sounding concerned but at the same time nervous. This turned to shock when happy bright blue eyes met his and Naruto's face split into a giant grin.

"You worry too much Iruka-sensei. I'm fine, believe it!" Naruto said cheerfully. The class looked confused as the formerly stoic boy suddenly became enormously cheerful. Their reaction was nothing compared to Iruka's whose eyes practically bulged out of his head and a glimmer of hope sprang in his eyes for the first time in a very long time. Naruto didn't notice any of this as his drew his mind inwards to think.

'Why had he just drawn back like that? What about this boy had affected him so much that he had lost control and retreated after five years of controlling me with an iron fist?' for a long time all he could feel was the immense pain of the other spirit residing inside him. Naruto tried for a long time to try and help the tortured soul so that it could finally rest in peace and allow him to return to his body. However his efforts were in vain as he was nothing but a murmur in the background that was easily drowned out. Terrified that he would soon lose every good feeling he had if he remained in too close a proximity he wrapped himself in a warm bright blanket of happy memories and fell silent watching for his opportunity to gain control again. Bringing himself out of his thoughts he turned to Iruka smiling.

"So where will I be sitting sensei?" Iruka also gaining control over himself checked the seating plan.

"I see there is a free desk next to Uchiha, Sasuke. Sasuke, would you raise your hand so that Naruto knows where you are?" There was no need as Naruto suddenly knew who it was without needing to be told. Blue eyes met with black as Naruto cautiously made his way up the steps toward the smirking boy. His black eyes were strangely familiar yet Naruto knew for a fact he had never seen them before. Sitting down at the desk he faced Sasuke.

"Hey Sasuke, my name is Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said cheerfully but that seemed to break the spell that he had of the Uchiha as the boy turned to face the front, ignoring his introduction. Leaning forward Naruto glared at the boy hard, though not entirely sure why Sasuke's indifference angered him so much. As if feeling the intrusion of his personnel space Sasuke turned.

"Get back n…" the rest of the words were left unspoken as Naruto felt his lips graze Sasuke's cheek softly. Naruto's eyes widened in shock and Sasuke took that opportunity to tilt his head and capture Naruto's lips in a gentle lip lock that left his mind reeling.

"Excuse me; I have been patient but…" Iruka's next words were drowned out when Sakura yelled…

"NARUTO! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Naruto turned and to his horror to see Sakura bearing down on him looking like a Mafia boss. Thankfully a lot of the other girls seemed disappointed but quickly moved on…

"Hey how about Kiba he is easy on the eyes nowadays isn't he?"

"Eww! Dog breath, never!"

"Everyone settle down I would like to begin the lesson some time before the bell rings," Iruka said impatiently. "Ok now that we have all settled down we can begin. This term we are going to be covering works in relation to the legendary figure King Arthur. You will have two assessment pieces on the task which include an essay describing the relationship between two elements of the legend that can be people or objects, or both. The second piece will be a 3-4 minute monologue or a 6-8 minute dialogue in character, about how you think that person or people felt about a certain event. Any questions? Yes Sakura."

"How many people per group if you do a dialogue," she asked though her eyes were trained on Sasuke.

"As far as I know you will be either working on your own or in pairs, any other questions?"

"Will we get to watch any movies this term?" A girl asked drawing away from her conversation about ho would replace Sasuke as their dream guy.

"No, I think it would be best if you gained an understanding of the characters and how they behaved from your own point of view and not from what film directors believe viewers will gain the most entertainment from. But maybe if you all do well we might watch one in the last two lesson and you get to pick your favourite." A groan erupted from the class as they realized that they would not be able to just rely on movies to pass but actually have to do a bit of work. However to their delight the bell rang and the class leapt out of their seats rushing to get out as fast as possible. Naruto however stayed behind to talk to Iruka before heading to the next class.

"Hey Iruka-sensei, that was a really great class. This topic sounds great." Naruto said sounding excited.

"Yes I thought you bee interested." Iruka replied happily.

"Got that one right but I was just wondering would I be able to tell my version in tomorrow's class?" Naruto asked now feeling nervous.

"Yes I am sure everyone would love that." Iruka agreed thrilled that Naruto was taking interest in life again.

"Anyway I gotta get to class now, cya." Naruto smiled and impulsively hugged Iruka to his shock. Just as Naruto left Naruto remembered where he had seen those eyes before… in his dreams of her.

…

"Iruka what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked, surprised at his lover's intrusion on his lesson.

"Naruto hugged me…" the only response Iruka received was a thud as Icha Icha fell to the ground.

I'm not that great with the whole adding onto names like –san or –kun so I will only be using sensei for the teachers and for Iruka and Kakashi at school

ok it is extremely improbable that naruto would lean that close that close in but work with me here. Lol

I swear she looks like one the way she is cracking her knuckles 'shivers' so glad I'm not Naruto

hint, hint

So what do you think? I would really like to know so if you have a chance I would be really happy if you posted a review as I want to make this story as good as I can. Thanks
