Chapter 5

A/N~

I did my hair like Miyuki's! 3 It was fun, but my friend dared me to wear it like that to school the other day, but I got sick. Oh, I just mean style wise. Somebody won't let me dye my hair black...

I am being forced to watch Barbie. Someone kill me now! It hurts so much. My ears already hurt from someone in my class having a very high pitched whistle on their iPod. I could have sworn my ears were bleeding.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately no... It doesn't belong to me.


Sasuke scratched the back of his throbbing head, "Sorry."

"You should be." Miyuki stormed out of the building, thoroughly pissed.

"I really don't understand her," Sasuke commented.

(You'll hate me, but...) Miyuki's POV

Miyuki sat back in an office chair. "So that's how it is..." She sighed and looked, thoughtfully, up at the ceiling. "I bet I can make that work."

She steathily placed everything back where she had found it, not leaving a trace that she had ever been there. Stealing one last glance at the place, she climbed out the window.


Naruto's POV

Naruto wiped his bleary eyes as he sat sleepily on the couch. 'Why?' he asked his self, 'Why would Sasuke-teme even say that in front of people-in front of me? He saw he saw me. I know he did. I saw him look at me. Our eyes met-even if it was but a split second.'

He hugged his knees and lowered his forehead. His eyes slipped closed and crystal tear drops fell. 'Why?'

The Next Day...

Naruto smiled and pranced about school as if nothing had happened. He told Kiba about his encounter first because he was in every of Naruto's classes.

"You're joking? Sasuke said that? Are you absolutely positive?" Kiba exclaimed.

Naruto laughed, "No, yes, yes!"

"This Sasuke?"

"Yes!"

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Yes!"

"You mean-?"

"Yes! Now shut up. Have we finally established that I meant the Sasuke Uchiha at this school?" Naruto asked with much exasperation.

"Almost. You mean -?"

Naruto just sighed and walked off.

"Oi, Naruto! Wait for mehhhh!" Kiba yelled desperately.

"Nooooo!" Naruto yelled running to class. He wheeled around a corner and looked back before colliding-headfirst-with Sasuke. His eyes were closed at the moment so he no idea who he was speaking to as he said, "Oh, sorry, my bad. I really should have been-" his opened wide at the sight of Sasuke before they slid into a threatening glare. "It's you," he stated standing up and walking past him. "I hope you and your girlfriend had fun."


Sasuke's Super Short POV

"My girlfriend?" Sasuke asked quietly after Naruto was out of ear shot. His head fell forward. "Oh, my "girlfriend"." He silently cursed Miyuki.


Naruto's POV

Naruto was walking to lunch when Kiba hurled himself into Naruto's back. "Wah! Hey, what the hell was that for?"

"You need to tell me what happened with you and Sasuke. When you realized you'd bumped into him you were so pissed. " Kiba got a devious llok in his eye as he raised an eye brow. "Maybe you were jealous of that girl Sasuke was with. Am I right?"

If Naruto had been drinking something, it would have just been spewed all over the world, but he hadn't so instead he just started coughing. "Why...the...hell...would...I...be...jealous?"

Kiba shrugged, "I was just kidding, but if you're so sensitive maybe he do like him." He ran off before Naruto had a chance to reply.

"Maybe you do like him," taunted a voice from behind.

"Shut the fuck up before I hit you," was all Naruto said before walking off, not even bothering to see a hurt Neji behind him.

"I was just kidding..."

Naruto had just told everyone at lunch about what had happened with Sasuke and his "girl friend" when Iruka pranced over.

"Because you ran off Kakashi-sensei and I had to set up another meeting. He's actually not that bad, but I see where you are coming from. He's kind of strange."

"Iruka! Not another one... Just cause I ran off isn't fair!"

"Well it was about you, so it kind of is."

Naruto couldn't respond to that, so the rest if his friends took the opportunity to laugh at him. Shino was the only unresponsive one. Naruto glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and was glad someone wasn't making fun of him. Little did he know that Shino's eyes were actually making fun of him under the glasses. Under the upper part of his jacket his mouth was smiling.

"Laugh now while you can, but one day I'll get you all!"

This just inspired more laughter as it erupted from his friends' mouthes. Now it was hard for even Shino to not laugh, but he didn't because he's Shino.

It was finally health time when Naruto had started making a bee-line for the roof when an angry Iruka grabed his collar and dragged him back the way he came.

"Iruka? What are you doing here?"

"This school has apparently labeled me as your legal guardian so Kakashi-sensei asked my teacher if I could make sure you got to health. Unfortunately for us both my teacher agreed so fast I wasn't even allowed in the classroom. There was even a note on the door that read: Iruka, make sure your kid gets to health.

Can you believe it even said "your kid"? That's insane. Some of the girls in my class were giving me weird looks, some disgusted, and some were just perverted. I'm pretty sure even this one guy was looking at me. It was just creepy." Iruka shivered.

"Who was it? The guy? That's just weird!"

'Says the guy who won't shut up about Sasuke,'

Iruka thought. "I'm not really sure. He always has his nose in a book, or is hiding under his hood, listening to his iPod. Nobody really talks to him except the teacher, but that's only to wake him up when he falls asleep. He's really creepy!"

Naruto face contorted in confusion. "But what's his name?"

"Name?"

"Yeah..."

"I'm not sure he has one."

"Dumb ass. Of course he has a name!" He whacked Iruka across the back of his head, sloppily.

"I was kidding. I know he has a name, I just don't know what it is."

Naruto was quiet as he was dragged the rest of the way to class, but as soon as he reached the room Kakashi-sensei replaced Iruka and drug him into the classroom.

Defeated, Naruto sat up in his desk and watched as Kakashi-sensei go out of the classroom, once more, to thank Iruka and apologize to him at the same time.

"Iruka-chan! I'm really sorry, but this was the only way I could get him to class. Nobody else would."

Iruka slapped the back of his head. He looked extremely pissed. "How many times must I tell you to just call me Iruka?" He stalked down the hallway to his next class.

Later Naruto received a text message that read: You were right about that bastard. I don't know what I was thinking.


Walking to his locker, Naruto could feel the stares burning into him from every direction. 'I haven't done anything, have I?' His friends were crowded around his locker, thier faces a mixed of anger and fear. Kiba was the first to turn around.

"Na-Naruto, it's his mark."

Naruto froze in fear. 'Not him. It can't be him. They told me he was dead.' He pushed through his crowd of friends and gawked at the markings in front of him. "It's the-"

Sai placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Yes it is."

Naruto semi-glared at him out the corner of his eye. Sai's lack of emotion was kind of pissing him off.

"Oi, Naruto, we need to talk to somebody about this," Kiba said, replacing Sai.

Naruto shook his head, reluctantly, and looked at what lay before him. There was no mistaking the fact that it was akin to the tatoo on his stomach. "He's back." Naruto turned away and marched past Sasuke up to the roof, while everyone stared at him with a worried expression on their faces. Naruto probably wouldn't be down till someone came up there to get him.


Sasuke's POV

Sasuke watched Naruto leave and wished with every fiber of his being that he could follow him, but he knew that he would only succeed in getting pushed away and broken once more.

"That'll do for now don't you think?" A voice asked from behind.

"Miyuki, you didn't?"

"Of course I did. It'll take time, but he'll come to accept your existence. This plan is full proof."

"You bitch. You aren't making things better. If anything, I'd say he hates me even more now!"

"Come, now. Don't be like that. It gets worse before it gets better." She walked away, not giving Sasuke time to reply.


A/N~

Night- I am soooo sorry it took so long! I've been really busy, and I got stuck halfway through. ^^;; I was going to make it longer too, but I'm still stuck. I figured you'd have my head if I didn't upload it soon. Gomen nasai. (I fail I spelling Japanese. T-T)

But Please review as crappy as it is. I am still only loved by one person. Thank you Aiko Tachibana . ^^
