The next day Sasuke woke a good hour, like usual for him, before Gaara's alarm clock, six a.m. sharp every morning. He was used to being up so early and had used it to his advantage by jogging four miles every morning before school, showering then doing any other normal getting ready for school routine, including jelling his hair.
Sasuke got dressed quickly in black shorts and a fitting white tank top and went out the door before five minutes had even passed, jogging down the streets of Konoha. On his way passed the poorer section of the city, not the gun totting drug dealing section, he glanced up at a small rundown apartment building, where a young brunette was already sweating and cleaning the large grafitti paint splayed across the whole side of the building he obviously lived in, since he had climbed through one of the windows.
The brunette seemed to be his age, Sasuke realized, and was perfectly tanned, like he had lived in the sun- as if he was one with nature. As if knowing he was being watched, the brunette seemed to become more self-conscious and dropped the scrub brush he was holding and it dropped the three stories to the gound, landing beside the paused Sasuke.
"E-excuse me...Could you by chance bring that up to me? I need to get this finished before school." The brunette called down to Sasuke, who realized that the brunette was in his school, the same grade in fact, and was a no-goder and class clown, a fool.
Sasuke frowned, like he would be caught around such a...such a loser. "You dropped it, you can get it yourself."
The brunette sighed and began sliding the scaffel down towards the ground, seeming almost tired of life the way he wheeled it. He lept out of the scaffel five feet from the ground and laid a lazy glare on Sasuke, before grabbing the brush and flipping himself back into the scaffel.
"You run past here everyday." The brunette stated. "If you dally now, you'll be late. You are already falling behind." With that the brunette wheeled his way back up the building to where it had been resting before. "Good day to you."
Sasuke was gone before the brunette could finish the last sentence and headed back towards Gaara's house. He was surprised he had met anyone at such an early time in the morning and that that someone was the lazy no-gooder doing something, what was with the world?
BREAK...At school. First period...BREAK
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura called running in the math room with a smile and an overly emphatic wave. "SASUKE-KUN!!!"
Sasuke sighed and put his chin in his hands (his glare position in the manga and T.V. show...you know the hand over hand thingy), he wasnt in the mood to put up with her fangirl attitude today. He ignored her and stared at the board where his teacher, Kabuto- plain Kabuto, no last name,- was writing the lesson on the board to be copied after anouncements.
"Can I sit beside you, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura practically screeched in his ear.
"No. Gaara is."
With that Gaara had walked into the room and sat beside Sasuke. Sakura was overly saddened, lol, and sat a row behind Sasuke to stare at the back of his head.
She'd head him off at lunch since they ony had four periods each day, each an hour and a half long. Math had flown by quickly, Algebra two, and Sasuke went to his health/disease/doctoring class with Tsunade-sama.
Lunch came around after his free period slash study hall and Sasuke was in as foul a mood as always and walked into the cafeteria and saw Gaara sitting with...the brunette from earlier? He didnt know Gaara had friends besides the popular group and definitely not the brunette.
He walked over to Gaara and the no-gooder and sat beside Gaara, ignoring the brunette. Gaara nodded to him and continued his conversation like he wasnt there.
Not only did he feel betrayed but he felt a bit peeved that he was being ignored. He looked impatiently at Gaara, waiting for him to be spoken to but nothing was forthcoming.
Sasuke coughed lightly after eating a sandwich to gain Gaara's attention. Gaara turned to him with an oblivious look.
"Oh, sorry, Sasuke. I forgot to introduce you to Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki this is Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke Naruto." He smiled innocently at Sasuke.
Sasuke studied Naruto, taking in all of his features. Naruto had about mid-neck length brown hair, worry clouded blue eyes, a strong jaw, and the rest of his body was covered in loose clothes so Sasuke couldnt tell much about him.
Naruto nodded. "Uchiha-sama." He said softly.
Sasuke's eyes were sharp and unforgiving. "Dobe."
Gaara smacked Sasuke in the arm. "Dont be mean to Naruto."
"I-I dont mind Gaara." Naruto said in a soft voice.
"It doesnt matter Naruto. Its rude to call a new aquaintance names, Sasuke."
"Well its true, isnt it? Or is there another loser in school?"
Naruto's face had fallen and he looked saddened by what Sasuke said. He didnt say another word as he grabbed his trash and stood up.
"Ill see you tomorrow, Gaara." Naruto said softly as he walked off.
Gaara turned to look angrilly at Sasuke. "You really should give people a chance. He isnt as bad as everyone says. The only reason he acts up is to get attention. No one cares about him so he acts out to be aknowledged. Please, Sasuke, give him a chance."
"Why?"
"Because he needs friends. He lives alone in the bad part of town and the only reason he lives there is because his only surviving relatives pay the rent so he doesnt come live with them. Give him a chance."
"...Fine. Only because you said I should."
Gaara smiled, happy. "You have art with him."
Sasuke frowned. "Really?"
"Yeah. The only other person who likes him is Iruka-sensei. He buys a lot of stuff for Naruto."
"What do you expect me to do?"
"Sit beside him in class and talk to him. Dont lie to him because he can tell when you do."
"Fine. If it doesnt work it doesnt work so dont push it okay?"
"Thats fine. At least you try."
Sasuke nodded as the bell for lunch to end rang. Gaara smiled at Sasuke's back before heading to his spanish class...he hated spanish, paid no attention to it and yet passed it with an A.
LINE BREAKER TO SASUKE GOING TO ART CLASS
Sasuke walked into the art room and after sighing, headed for Naruto, who was sitting alone in the back of the room leaning over his easel. He noticed when Naruto flinched slightly when his shadow passed over the easel.
"Mind if I sit?"
"U-Uchiha-sama." Naruto blurted out nervously. "Y-Yes. O-o-of course you can."
Sasuke nodded as he grabbed a chair and put it down a couple feet from Naruto. He then walked off to get an easel from the side of the room and a sketching pencil along with oil pastel crayons.
When Sasuke eased into his seat the bell rang and Iruka-sensei walked in and all he said was to continue the scenery pictures that had been working on the day before. Although no one noticed, Iruka studied Sasuke's seating arrangement and kept a close eye out for any threats against Naruto.
Sasuke bent over his half way done sketch of a landscape while he heard Naruto scritching away ast his. Half an hour later, Sasuke glanced over at Naruto's drawing and just the bit that was colored, just an inch or two in the corner, looked expertly realistic.
"Oy (yes oy) Dobe." He said softly so no one could overhear him.
Naruto jumped slightly and just barely kept himself from messing up his picture. He looked up at Sasuke with confusion.
"Sorry about that. Didnt mean to scare you. Its a good picture."
"T-th-thanks, Uchiha-sama." He bowed his head then looked at Sasukes. "Your's is better."
Sasuke's lanscape was just of the school in gray sketches so far but looked bland. He, hopefully, wasnt even done sketching his landscape.
Naruto's landscape was of a dream like land, waterfalls falling from each side while pooling in the whole bottom of the page and the sky had a few flying geese to the right of a sun off center to the right. Not only was the sun there but a rainbow edged below it and in the left side of most of the picture, where Naruto was coloring, was a hill with the edge of the school where the art room was and looking, squinting, at the small windows you could see students bent over their easels.
"Dont lie, Dobe. I stink at art."
Naruto didnt reply. He was lightly studying Sasuke's work.
Iruka called for the classes attention. "Ebisu is going to assign all of you a partner. The ones better at art can help the lesser ones." He gave Sasuke a pointed look.
"Neji and Shino, Temari and Choji, Sasuke and Ten-ten, Naruto..." He gave Naruto a disdainful look. "And Kankuro."
Everyone knew Kankuro had a short temper and it became that much shorter when he was near Naruto. Kankuro also was horrible at art, going through the class with a twenty-seven (Thats an F. a VERY bad F), and loathed, dispised, Naruto.
Sasuke saw Naruto gulp and look pleadingly at Iruka but Iruka had begun to speak. "If you want a new partner or wish to express worry or want a specific partner you may come to me after class. Now you may go back to your art. Tomorrow you begin partner sessions."
Sasuke watched Naruto go back unquestioningly to his drawing and although he barely knew the brunette, he was already beginning to worry over him, he just had the slight needing protection innocense. He tried to concentrate on his drawing but the quiet scribbles from the Dobe kept distracting him.
"Hey Dobe?" He asked a bit later.
Naruto's head came up and it took him a second to concentrate on Sasuke's face. "Y-yeah, Uchiha-sama?"
"Why dont you ask Iruka-sensei to give you a different partner?"
"N-no one else w-wants to be my partner s-so why trouble th-them when no one wants t-to be Kankuro's p-partner?"
"I may not know you very well, Dobe, but I know that you dont deserve to be bullied."
"Th-then what do you c-call this morning?" Naruto's voice hadnt risen from the soft tones and still they werent accusing.
"I didnt know better."
"A-and you do now?"
"Im making an attempt to."
Naruto shrugged and went back to his drawing. He didnt feel like arguing with someone who was getting to know him.
A few minutes later, Sasuke spoke again. "Er...Dobe?"
"Y-yes, Uchiha-sama?"
"Would you give me some pointers?"
Naruto loooked up at him and gave him a slight smile. Sasuke was really trying to not push Naruto away, even so much as to lower himself and ask for help.
"O-of course, Uchiha-sama."
Sasuke gave him a thankful nod and scooted his chair and easel closer to Naruto, so Naruto could point things out to him. In the end they sat mere inches apart and Iruka took notice of it and whe he circled the class quietly like usual, he heard Naruto's quiet tones telling the usually stuck up Sasuke how to improve his art.
'Hmm. Maybe I should switch some partners around. They may work well together. She would google over him more than help him.'
"...So it would be better to layer the detail?" Iruka heard Sasuke ask.
"It-its easier f-for me." Came Naruto's hesitant reply.
Iruka noticed Sasuke's scenery and it was indeed coming along some. Compared to Naruto's half colored half sketch scenery, Sasuke's still needed a lot of work.
"T-This part w-was hard for m-me." Naruto said, commenting on how much detail to give some things and how little to give others. "I u-used to give ev-everything the s-same amount of shading."
"Oh." Sasuke sounded defeated, since Naruto had trouble with it.
"Y-you m-might not h-have as much t-trouble as I d-did."
"Well Ill try, Dobe." He gave Naruto a small smile.
Iruka walked to the fron tof the class. "I want everyones attention."
In the back, Sasuke was to emersed in the few pointers Naruto gave him so he didnt hear Iruka. Some how Naruto didnt hear Iruka either, maybe because he was studying Sasuke's sketch for ways to help him improve it.
"Naruto, Sasuke, pay attention." Sasuke and Naruto's heads shot up and the latter blushed slightly.
Everyones attention fell on the two and Naruto sank down some in his seat while Sasuke glared at them all. It was oddly comforting to Sasuke the way Naruto didnt slide away from him but just moved down in his seat away from burning gazes.
"Alright now that I have everyones attention," Iruka said with a tiny smile. "I decided to switch around some partners. The new partners will be as follows: Choji and Ten-ten, Temari and Kankuro, Sasuke and Naruto and Neji and Shino."
Ebisu frowned at how Iruka split the definite battle up (Naruto and Kankuro). He didnt like Naruto and wanted him hurt and gone.
Ebisu couldnt do anything to challenge Iruka's decision since he was only a college assistant. He would have to listen to what Iruka said but any time Iruka would take a sick day he'd be in charge, meaning Naruto torture.
Although he had said he wouldnt care if he was with Kankuro, Naruto sighed in relief and his shoulders released some of their tension. "What was that, Dobe, about not caring if you were with Kankuro?" Sasuke joked to Naruto.
"Er..."
Sasuke just smiled while Temari growled. "Im stuck with my brother?"
"You have the best chance to...keep up with him."
Temari frowned. She really didnt like her brother somedays, why couldnt he be like Gaara and just be quiet?
"...Dobe?" Sasuke waved his hand infront of Naruto's face, snapping him back from his inner thoughts.
"H-huh? S-s-sorry, Uchiha-sama."
"I'm not your superior, Dobe. Its Sasuke. Just plain Sasuke." Naruto nodded. "And whats with the stutters?"
Choji walked past them. "Its because he's an idiot." He chuckled, as if he had told the funniest joke.
Sasuke's glare put him in place and stopped his chuckles in his throat. "I believe the 'idiot' is getting better grades than the both of us."
Choji was running on a middle D in the class so he had no room to talk. He frowned at Sasuke and stayed where he was.
"Why are you sticking up for him anyway?"
"Why not stick up for a partner or a friend?"
Choji rolled his eyes and walked off. Sasuke turned to Naruto and saw the confused look from what he had last said.
"What? Is it too early to consider you a friend, Dobe?"
Naruto shook his head vigorously. "N-no."
"Naruto." Iruka was walking up to him.
"Y-yes, Iruka-sensei?"
"You should be getting back to work. The contest in in just a couple weeks and I know you havent finished your entry."
"I k-know, Iruka-sensei. I j-just dont h-have enough time."
Iruka nodded. "Maybe one day during french or gym you can come in here since you have A's in those classes too."
Naruto nodded then looked back to his scenery. When he knew Naruto wasnt going to look up, Iruka nodded for Sasuke to follow him.
When they reached Iruka's desk, out of any ear shot, he turned to Sasuke. "Are you blackmailing Naruto?"
"No sensei. Gaara asked me to give him a chance and get to know the Dobe."
"If your giving Naruto a chance, why are you calling him 'dead-last'?"
"Nickname."
"And what does he call you?"
"Uchiha-sama, but I told him to call me Sasuke." Sasuke was standing calmly.
"Ah. Naruto has respect for you even when you friends picked on him. Interesting."
"What do you mean, Sensei?"
"Your friends are the ones who give him a hard time. Of this whole school, I believe theres only teachers who really help Naruto out."
Sasuke looked a bit wide-eyed. "What?"
"Those of us who take care of Naruto are teachers. Tsunade, Kakashi, me, Jaraiya, Gaara and now you. Naruto has few friends."
Sasuke nodded. "If you dont mind, Sensei, but I have a lot to do on my scenery."
"I have a proposition for you, Sasuke."
"What is it?"
"Stay after class and Ill let you in on it. As an added trust why dont you accidently bump into the janitors ladder." He winked at Sasuke.
"Sir?"
"Just try it." Iruka winked at him again and shooed him off.
Sasuke frowned but did as he was told. Naruto had looked up when he realized Sasuke wasnt scritching away beside him and watched as Iruka shooed Sasuke off.
The brunette watched as Sasuke purposely accidently bumped into the ladder. A bucket of tan paint, a nearly full five gallon bucket left from the janitor painting the ceiling, swayed, topled and fell.
SLOOOOOSH
Ebisu was drenched from head to foot in tan paint. Sasuke spoke a rushed half apology to Ebisu and walked back to his seat.
When Sasuke sat down, Naruto was giggling behind his hand at Ebisu. The raven chuckled because Ebisu, in the paint onslaught, lost his glasses, slid and fell, crashing into his assistant desk, causing paint to go all over it.
"Ebisu," Iruka admonished. "You should really watch where you go."
None of the art students, plus Iruka, liked Ebisu. They would always find some way to make him have a bad day.
Not much later, the bell rang for buses and Sasuke said goodbye to Naruto. He had learned from Naruto, through the stutters, that they both had the same French class and same gym period.
Sasuke walked up to Iruka's desk once everyone was gone, Ebisu being the first out, and waited. Iruke looked up and smiled warmly at Sasuke.
"Ah, Sasuke. I wondered if you'd stay after or not. Do you ride a bus?"
"No, Sensei. I walk home."
Iruka nodded. "Now, what I was saying before. My proposition for you is this:..."
A student rushed back in just then, calling out a "Goooooooomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, Seeeeeeeenseeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. I forgot my baaaaaag."
Iruka shook his head as Ten-ten ran back out the door. She always forgot something.
"The proposition. If you help Naruto out for a while, you know, keeping him from the bullies and all, Ill give you extra credit so you might not fail this class, since a C in here is failing as much as a D or an F."
"There has to be a catch, Sensei." Sasuke said, warily.
"Just that if anything serious happens to Naruto, you get any and all of the blame and Id like for you to try to help him with some of his other classes- History, health and Algebra two- to raise the C's and D's to B's. What do you say?"
"If I say yes, you have to do something for me."
"What would that be?"
"Adopt the Dobe. You care enough for him."
"I would, no questions asked, but a rule passed through the town and school saying present teachers can not adopt students. Theres nothing I can do."
Sasuke shrugged. "Ill try sensei."
"Thank you."
Sasuke left the room and almost literally ran into Gaara. "Gaara?"
"About time you came out." Gaara said, smiling.
"Why were you waiting?"
"I wanted to know if you talked to Naruto."
"Hai."
"And?" Gaara pressed.
Sasuke shrugged. "We got along."
Gaara smiled. "Mind if we went to Ichiraku?"
"Dobe works there."
"Yeah. I promised him I'd come visit him. He said there was someone he wanted me to meet, a co-worker."
They were walking down the hall talking. Sasuke shrugged then heard the keening wail of the dreaded banshee woman.
Sakura, the 'I'm-in-love-with-both-Sasuke-and-Ino-and-Ino-doesnt-mind-at-all-because-she-is-just-like-me-and-in-love-with-Sasuke-too' woman. She seriously scared Sasuke to say the least.
As she walked down the hall towards the frozen Sasuke, and Gaara who was equally scared, a door slammed open and smashed into her face, knocking her out cold. As Sasuke and Gaara watched Sakura fall to the ground, out cold, a flying brunette blurb shot out of the room.
"...S-sorry Baa-chan, b-but I h-have t-to go." Naruto stopped at looked at the fallen girl. "IEYAH! N-not a-a-again."
Naruto dropped to Sakura's side and patted her hand lightly. Gaara chuckled and walked up beside Naruto.
"Naruto, if you stay here, you'll be late for work."
"I-I g-gotta s-see i-if sh-she'll be o-okay." A fist shot up and slugged Naruto in the right cheek.
Naruto fell to the ground holding his cheek while Sakura sat up and scrubbed at her hand to rid herself of Naruto germs. "Dont touch me, you trash." She spat venomously out at Naruto.
"I-I-i'm s-sorry S-s-sakura-c-chan. g-gomen."
"Shut up, filth."
Naruto flinched back from her like an abused dog. Sasuke, seeing that walked forward.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura smiled happily, forgetting Naruto.
"I recommend you apologize." Sasuke said in a dead, flat voice.
"Why? He's worthless."
Sasuke glared at her. "I. Said. Apologize." His voice was bordering on homocidal.
"Sorry." She grumbled out then leeched onto Sasuke. "Will you go out with me?" (Yes i meant leeched)
"No. Now if you excuse us, we need to go,right Gaara, Dobe?"
Naruto nervously nodded, while nibbling on his lower lip and staring avidly at the ground. "If we dont leave now, we'll be late." Gaara said.
"Can I come, Sasuke-kun?"
"No."
When Sakura finally let Sasuke go, Gaara had called his driver and as they reached the outside of the school he was waiting for them. Not to long after, Naruto was walking into Ichiraku ramen to sign in.
"Ichan, I-I'm sorry for being late."
Ichan nodded. "You knocked that big browed girl out again, didnt you?"
Naruto nodded. Ichan knew Naruto had rotten luck and knocking Sakura out was a twice a week event.
"Well, I recommend you go change and get ready for the dinner rush."
Sasuke and Gaara sat down at the bar and Gaara began explaining everything that happened at the ramen place. He told Sasuke of the normal daily customers and that Ichan was the owner and ran it with his wife, three sons, daughter and three or four hirees.
"Thats his wife...um...I keep forgetting all their names." Gaara said to Sasuke as a few people ordered.
Naruto walked passed them and heared what Gaara said. "Kari. Kari Richuie. Married into the business." He was soon gone to get more orders.
"Yeah. What he said." Gaara said. "Their daughter is ten so she brings the bags and stuff in from the back. Her name is uh...Lu...Lure? no...Lima? no...thats a bean..."
"Luia." Naruto said as he power walked passed the two.
"Right."
Sasuke chuckled how Gaara kept getting everything wrong and Naruto easily filled in. "And the sons?"
"The oldest is twenty-nine. His name is Maren. The middle is eighteen. Er...His name is...I have nothing for the youngest and his name."
"Eidgar. Sarien is thirteen." Naruto said quickly. "Does dishes."
"Gaara?" Sasuke asked a bit later.
"Yeah?" Gaara was eating his order of pork ramen.
"Why is it Dobe doesnt stutter here?"
"His stutter is a defense at school. He really doesnt have one but when he's scared he stutters. So I guess its real. Dont worry. It wont happen around you much any more."
Naruto rushed behind the counter. "Ichan theres too many for me to take care of myself and Lee is sick."
"We need more workers." Ichan said worried.
"We'll help." Sasuke said pointing to him and Gaara. "No pay."
Gaara nodded and finally Ichan gave in. Sasuke knew Gaara didnt like to move around a lot because of his asthma so he told Gaara to help out in the back.
Nearly forty minutes later, Sasuke turned and watched Naruto carry a tray of six bowls of ramen when one man deliberately tripped him and all six bowls flew at a larger man. The bowls crashed down, burning the man and he stood, howling obscenities, and when he saw who it was, his anger got worse.
The man picked Naruto up by his apron front, until they were nose to nose. "You dare to spill ramen on me, you little whelp?" Spittle was flying all across Naruto's limp face, his body had also gone slack.
When the man sat Naruto down on his feet, Sasuke sighed in relief but Gaara was calling for Ichan. Sasuke couldnt pull his eyes away as the large mans fist sailed in and hit Naruto's gut, sending him flying into a table and collapsing it.
Ichan still hadnt come, so Sasuke rushed over and blocked Naruto from the mans body. He wasnt sure what to do but the sight of the blood was making him feel a little queasy.
"Move." The man commanded. "I deserve this."
"It wasnt his fault." Sasuke replied.
"Let me have him then Ill only take a week...no a month or two of his pay checks to buy a new suit to replace this one."
Naruto had stood up and when he looked up, there was a pile of more than enough money to pay for the mans suit on the table, placed there by Sasuke Gaara and a few daily customers that actually liked Naruto (which was few). He looked at Sasuke and Gaara in confusion.
When the whole mess was cleared up and the dinner time traffic had left, Naruto walked up to two very exhausted teens- Sasuke and Gaara. He sat down in a stool at the bar and looked at them.
"Gomen about that."
"Its okay, Naruto." Gaara said, lifting his head from the counter.
"Ill pay you guys back, I promise."
"You dont need to Naruto. We dont expect you to."
"I will anyway."
"It's called generosity, Dobe. Its not supposed to be paid back." Sasuke's voice was soft and not harsh.
Sasuke had used his harsh voice a lot that night. He had watched the cutomers out of the corner of his eye and when started to give Naruto trouble he'd turn and give them a patented Ichiha death glare (Make all checks payable to Uchiha corp. 9591 N. Narutoshairisnotbrown! St. retard, getitright 24095).
Naruto gave them both a small smile. "Ichan?"
The man was leaning against the wall. "Just winded Naruto. Mind helping to clean the back?"
Naruto nodded, jumped off his stool and walked to the back. Sasuke watched him go with curiosity.
"Gaara?" He asked a minute later.
Gaara grunted and lifted his heavy head from the counter. "Yeah?"
"What keeps him going?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, what gives him purpose if everyone hates him?"
"Depends on who you ask."
"What do you think?"
"I think the people who care for him give him enough love to him." Gaara looked away for a minute. "There was one time though..." His voice drifted off as he watched Naruto's back.
"Gaara?"
"He'll tell you eventually."
Not long after, Naruto signed out and all three walked out of Ichiraku. The sun had already set when Naruto disconnected from the other two and walked towards his apartment.
A few called goodnights permeated the air before becomming silent again. Gaara and Sasuke waited until Naruto was out of sight before starting off again.
They reached Sasuke's house first and Gaara continued on. Sasuke called goodnight then went inside to do his homework and eat.
A few hours later Sasuke called Gaara. He just wanted someone to talk to in his confusion.
"Sasuke?" Gaara asked a few minutes into their conversation.
"Yeah?"
"Whats wrong? You seem distracted."
"Have you noticed the Dobe has the attitude of innocense that screams 'I-need-someone-to-protect-me-and-yet-be-my-friend-while-being-there-for-me'? Although I barely know Dobe (I make him say 'know Dobe' instead of 'know the Dobe' is because its like a nickname for Naruto now. He doesnt mean anything by it anymore) I feel like I should help him out and protect him."
"You feel close to him even when you barely know him. That what you mean?"
"Yeah."
"I felt like that before, then I got to know him, got over this weird crush I had on him and we've been best friends since. Help him out, Sasuke, I know he wont mind. Just as a warning, though, dont fall for him."
"Why?" Gaara could practically hear Sasuke's raised eyebrows.
"Its more pain then you need."
"What do you mean?"
"Just dont fall for him. Do you have any other classes with him?"
"I have Art and french then the same period for gym."
"In french can you watch out for him?"
"Why?"
"Mizuki sensei is really hard on Naruto. He, by what Naruto tells me, flirts and hits on him."
"Ew."
"Yeah."
"Ill watch over him, Gaara."
"Thanks. Hold on a sec." Sasuke heard Gaara say a few things to Temari. "Sorry Sasuke but I gotta go."
"Its alright. I need to get ready for tomorrow, since its nearly eleven."
"See you tomorrow in first period."
"Bye."
"Bye."

Okay so this couldnt be posted for a while nor could I write it because my dad took both computer towers, one I type my stories on in my room and the other with internet in the living room, and so I couldnt write any of this. At this point, January twenty-third, I still cant post because the internet computer is still in the shop because somehow it had illegal software on it. The repair guy couldnt do anything with it until my dad proved where he got the software.
Anyway guys...what couples should I make? I thought of SasuxNaru and GaaxNaru then SasuxShika NaruxSaku and GaaxOc. I need some help here. Another concert chappie wont be for a while. Sorry. I know you just LOVE the songs I choose, eh? Laters. Gotta go write the next chappie. (Smilie)
