MOONLIT TEARS
CHAP 2: 10 years later

Naruto sighed. This class was really dragging on and he couldn't wait to see Sasuke. He glanced up at the clock wondering what time this lesson was going to end when the bell suddenly rang. Naruto jumped out of his seat and was half way to the door before his English professor, Iruka-sensei asked him to wait behind. He busied himself with repacking his bag more carefully, waiting for the class to slowly leave. Naruto turned as the last person closed the door behind them.

"Naruto.." Iruka started speaking before Naruto cut across with a sharp sentence that stopped Iruka in his tracks

"Just give him up sensei. He's got over you. Maybe its time you did the same thing" Naruto's cerulean blue eyes peirced Iruka's sad brown ones. Its has been 10 years since Iruka broke up with Kakashi. 10 years since Kakashi took in young Naruto. How the time seemed to fly by when there's someone to care for you. Things were much better than before. Naruto thought back to the night Kakashi found him. He could remeber it clearly..

*flashback - Naruto's POV*

My head throbbed. And that light coming in through the window was killing my eyes, wait window, since when did I have a window? I opened my eyes slowly blinking rapidly against the glaring light. A voice shifted through my swirling headache,

"oh so your awake then"

I shot out of the bed I was on, racing to the far side of the room furthest away from that voice. Crap, I was on the opposite side to the window. I felt the fear show on my face so I quickly set my muscles in a expressionless mask. I studied the man before me. His crazy grey hair, that mask covering most of his face and the headband pulled down over one of his eyes. He was standing just inside of the doorway, one hand behind his head with a half amused half calculating look on his face, well just his eye really. I flinched away from that direct gaze and forced my face up into that stupid grin. His eyes narrowed.

"k-ka-Kakashi-sensei. What am I doing here" I said, wincing when the ache in my throat increased. "how did I get here, last thing I remember was being in ..the ..alley" My voice faltered as i realised he would know. I blocked the pain and hurt as the memories came flooding back. I glanced down at my injuries and was shocked to see them attended to. Was this some kind of joke. Why was he doing this? Is he going to demand some sort of payment? If so how the hell was I going to pay it. No doubt it would lead to another beating..

"Naruto do you mind telling me what is going on. How did you come to be unconscious on the alley floor covered in injuries?"

I nearly jumped when I heard Kakashi address me by my actual name instead of just that Uzumaki kid or fox freak. Wait was Kakashi asking me what happened to me. Like he actually cared?

"Kit, be careful. This could be another sick joke"

The kyuubi's warning rang through my mind bringing me back down to earth. Of course no one would ever care about me, why would they? I was obviously just some freak show to them. Hell, maybe I was better of giving them what they wanted. I mean it wasn't as if I have anything to live for anyway

"Kit, don't you dare start thinking like this, you have me, even if I'm the one who got you into all this. I'm sorry kit."

I sighed, then remembered it had been over half a minute and I hadn't replied to Kakashi's question

"Umm .. Uhhhh … well you see.." Shit, how the hell was I going to explain this. Its not like I wanted his sympathy. I needed a way out of this. A way to stop his pity. I plastered that stupid grin on my face again doing anything to keep the real me from the famous copy nin. I doubt I would survive a beating from him.

"Give it up Naruto, I've seen your face, you cant hide behind that mask anymore"

Fuck.

'Awhhh crap, kyuubi what do we do now.' I thought to the fox curled up in my head. 'should I carry on pretending, I mean, either way were in for a beating'

"why not, kit. Its his funeral. If he wants to see, show him"

I steadied my self with a deep breath and let the 'mask' slip from my face. I studied Kakashi's reaction, shocked when I couldn't see any hate or disgust. And the near inaudible gasp? Did this mean he wasn't going to beat me?

*end flashback*

Naruto stiffled a laugh. It all seemed so silly now, of course Kakashi was never going to beat him. He glanced up at Iruka who was staring at the floor obviously immersed in memories.

"Iruka..." Said peson snapped his head up when Naruto's voice drifted through his thoughts. "I'l mention to Kakashi that you asked after him. Im not promising anything though" Naruto spoke quietly not entirely sure if he was doing the right thing. Iruka looked gratefully at Naruto and talked in the same quiet voice

"Thank you Naruto .. You can leave for lunch now." As Naruto walked off Iruka and Kakashi were forgotten as Sasuke flooded his thoughts.

-_-_-_-_ NARUTO'S POV -_-_-_-_

I walked as fast as possible towards the luch hall eager to see Sasuke. My heart leapt as i saw him casually leaning against the wall dressed in dark skinnies, a skillet tshirt and a black hoody. His hair was spiked in its usual style and his eyes were lined with thin black eyeliner. He looked up sowly, pushing of the wall and sauntering over to me placing a brief but sweet kiss on my lips. I sighed and watched him slowly walk towards the canteen already knowing that i would follow. I stumbled after him towards the group i should have never fitted in with. The populars. The hot populars.
