Chapter Two:
Admire You?
A/N: Reply to Moon of My Heart. The Mafia in America is like a gang, stereotypically Italians for some reason. They do what gangs do, kill, sell drugs, ect. The Yakuza is pretty much the same but Japanese, they usually have tattoos, so if you visit Japan and you have a tattoo they might be a little skeptical of you haha. Anyway you should google, I'm bad at explaining.
"But here's the thing," He continued, "I have a goal set for me already, and no one could ever say it would never happen!" His voice got louder by every word. "I, Uzumaki Naruto, will be the next YAKUZA LEADER!"(Yakuza is like the Japanese mafia.)
Everyone gasped. Hinata would of, but she couldn't even use her voice, since she was so shocked. How could someone be so bold and brave to say something like that. Was he insane? Several things went through her mind at that time, imagining the year with him in her class. She felt scared of the delinquent like him in her class, and something else, but she didn't know why. She felt somehow...jealous.
Why did he have so much confidence and zill through those words he said? It was like he was 100% sure that was his future. I mean...why she couldn't be like that.
Sasuke lifted his head from his desk, Sakura who was watching him intensely ever since he sat down in front of them, squirmed by the sudden movement.
"Baka…" The Uchiha murmured and continued looking at him, "This school years going to be interesting for sure."
"Hey! Dobe! You say something?" Naruto pointed at the onyx eyed boy.
"Nothing in particular." He sighed.
"If you have something rude to say, at least be a man and say it to my face!"
"Hey whisker boy! Stop being mean to Uchiha-san!" The pinked-haired girl rose from her seat immediately.
"How troublesome." A boy with black-pineapple hair sighed a crossed the room, "Just sit down Sakura."
"No I won't, Shikamaru! It's not cool that this yakuza wannabe is disrespecting people!" She defended.
"Hey pinky! Wanna go?" The blonde stood in a combat pose, his fist ready to punch, "I'm not afraid to punch any girl if it means that you would see me with respect."
The girl stood there in unbelief. Did this idiot ask her to fight? She then looked at their teacher who sat at his stool reading a mysterious book.
"Oi! Teacher!" The Inuzuka from before piped. "Are you allowing a fight on school campus?"
The teacher look up from the book to the boy, he shrugged. He didn't give a rat's ass if they were even in a knitting battle. The whole class again gasped. Hinata sat in her seat shaking in disbelief. She would of never predicted that Sakura would get into a fight at the second day of school, with a delinquent especially. The pinkette was known for starting fights, with any gender, but never on the first week of school. Ino however was rooting for her; she didn't appreciate Naruto's rude behavior either.
"Kick his ass Sakura-chaannnn!" Ino stood up from her seat and cheered.
Suddenly the whole class, minus Sasuke, Hinata, Shino, and Shikamaru, were rallied up.
"Yeah destroy that delinquent!" The Inuzuka shouted.
"Don't start until I open my bag of potato chips." The chubby, yet nice Choji yelled.
The chants pumped Sakura up, "You ready, you whiskered idiot?" She stepped out of the desk to the small pathway between desks.
"I'm ready alright!" He swung a punch at her, which she barely missed, but succeeded. "Now this class can understand whose top-DOOGGG" The boy's sentence ended with him yelling in pain. The Haruno kicked him straight in the balls.
Sasuke smirked. Hinata grimaced. Ino threw a huge fist in the air with triumph, and cheered.
"Wooo! You go Haruno!" Kiba cheered.
Choji clapped as he smacked his potato chip salt cover lips.
"And here I thought this was going to be completely boring." Shikamaru laughed.
The Uzumaki fell on the floor with pain, covering the hit area. "Damn you…"
"Looks like I won, huh?" The green-eyed beauty smirked, flipping her short hair. As she turned back to her seat, the Uchiha gave her a long look. The girl immediately blushed, and hurried to her desk.
"Well this is just wonderful." The teacher said in a sarcastic tone, and walked towards the teaching podium. "Nara, help him to the nurse's office."
The boy sighed, "How troublesome." He thought as he walked his way over to Naruto who was shivering in pain.
"You can lean on my shoulders or something." The Nara implied, Naruto followed his orders. When they were exiting the room, Naruto turned to the class again.
"You guys will all soon see how awesome I am one day!" The blonde said, "Believe it!"
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just go to the nurse's office." Shikamaru rolled his eyes, helping him out.
All Hinata can say was, "Whoa." The fight wasn't a very long one, but she would of never guessed she would see one so close at her school. She's seen tons of fight out on the streets even been in one before (A/N: Long story that will be explained in later chapters.) but at their prestigious school, who would of thought? She always saw this school as a safe haven away from the fighting, but with Naruto here at her school she knew that would change drastically.
"Haruno-chan!" The sensei called to the girl. "Remember you're lucky you're not going to the principal's office. Stuff like this should never happen at school. You're lucky I was submissive today."
The pinkette gulped, "Yes, Sensei" He might be a bit of a lazy teacher, but he was strict when he wanted to. He was a force not to be reckoned with.
"Okay, one things checked off the list. Now I guess we begin with Language Arts."
The first four periods flashed like it was nothing that day. All they did that day was received and introduction to the subjects of that year, not receiving homework. All they basically learned that day was that Naruto was an idiot and came back during second period, he sat next to Hinata much to Sakura, Ino, and Hinata's dismay of the close proximity, and that Sasuke and the whiskered blonde hated each other in a strange way. Strange, because every time they had an argument it was as if two brothers were arguing. Sasuke portrayed as the older, quiet, and mature one. Naruto being the annoying younger one. Everyone in the class would be in the same room throughout the school day, which wasn't a problem for Hinata since it was a small class, but ever since Naruto it did unfortunately was a problem now.
It was not lunch, which meant moving desks to eat lunch with her friends, which also meant not sitting next to the scary, and annoying Naruto. Hinata was very please. (A/N: Haha Hinata hates him sooo muchh rrnn! Sorry had to add that! XD)
"You lunch looks as good as always Hinata!" Sakura admired Hinata's bento. It consisted of small sausages shaped into octopi, and a side of salad, that satisfied Hinata's sweet tooth.
"Wanna share with us?" Ino asked, "My grandma made cinnamon rolls that I'm sure you'll enjoy!"
Hinata nodded rapidly. She loved cinnamon rolls; to her it was one of the best desserts in the world. Ino smiled sweetly, and broke the cinnamon rolls in thirds, giving Hinata the biggest one. Hinata didn't care about what the years of etiquette she learned at a very young age, when it came to sweets, it didn't matter. She ate her share like it was nothing.
"Nice! Never seen a girl gobble down like that! I'm impressed." Said the amazed Inuzuka who brought his desk along with his friend Shino. "Mind if we join."
Hinata blushed at his compliment, slightly embarrassed.
"Not at all, Kiba." Ino said in her most flirty voice, she was quite flirty to any boy, even if she wasn't into them.
Sakura rolled her eyes to Ino, who returned with a shut-up-and-eat look.
"Thank you." Shino blankly said, and sat down to open his lunch. He was a quiet and a very observant boy, people even thought he was weird sometimes, but since the girls have been in the same class with him since middle school, they saw deep down he wasn't that bad.
The group all started eating, Sakura and Ino taking some on Hinata's food now and then.
"Hey did you guys notice that the idiot is eating with that black haired dude?" Kiba asked as he pointed out the two. Surprisingly the two had their desks together, eating quietly.
"Never would've thought they would ever do something peacefully." Sakura gazed at them confusingly.
As the group continued eating, Hinata looked at Naruto for a long time. She didn't like his vibe, and wanted to stay away from him in all ways, but couldn't help staring at him for some reason. She tended to stare at people who she found strange, interesting, or scary, him being all of the above.
The young man was gobbling down some ramen from a thermal, as the Uchiha was eating a simple salad with tomatoes. The boy continued slurping until he felt like someone was looking at him. He looked up to meet the beautiful lavender eyes of Hinata. Hinata blushed and turned away; flustered she started eating her salad.
"Hey, what's up with her?" The blonde asked Sasuke.
Sasuke shrugged, and continued eating.
Naruto pondered on why she would be staring at him, and then he thought of something. "I got it!"
"Got what?" Sasuke asked him.
"She saw how amazingly cool I was today, so she probably admires me." Naruto chuckled, "That make sense since I'm so awesome and all." He blushed with happiness.
Sasuke knew this was very unlikely, but didn't want to continue talking to him. "Whatever…"
"I wonder how she would react if I come over there? I bet she would be blushing like crazy, after being so close to me. Awesomeness practically radiates off me!"
"Mhhmm."
"You're jealous, right?"
"What?" Sasuke now was listening to him. "What do you mean "jealous"?"
"I mean, we grew up together and you hanging out with the awesome me must've been pretty hard for you." Naruto patted the boys shoulder.
Sasuke did the unexpected; he laughed, and sarcastically said, "Haha, riiigghhhtt."
This was all a lie. Ever since they were ten, girls would fall for Sasuke like it was nothing. He would have the best grades out of the whole class, and get admired by fellow classmates. Naruto was always behind him, trying to catch up. This resulted to them always arguing all the time, and Naruto thinking of himself as the best person in the world. In reality Naruto was jealous of him, and wanted Sasuke to be jealous of him even once. Despite all of this the two could never imagine life without each other. Their families were close, and so was their friendship. They were like brothers.
"You should go over there." Sasuke snicker, "I'm sure she would appreciate it."
Naruto was surprised, he actually agreed with him? "W-what? Y-yeah, you're right, I'm so cool after all." He straightened himself up and stood up from his seat. "Just watch and learn."
Sasuke nodded, while laughing. He knew very well that he would fail miserably especially with the girl that kicked him in his privates was sitting there, but seeing him embarrass himself was fun to him.
Naruto walked up to the table, at first he was a bit hesitant since he knew "his awesomeness" wasn't really real, but he took a deep breath, and soon gained confidence.
"Oi!" He called for attention.
The group of people looked at him. Hinata wide eyed, Sakura red with anger.
"What do you want mush brain?" Sakura hissed.
"I'm not here to talk to -Can-Suck-My-Balls-Because-I'm-Ignoring-Your-Pink-Haired-Ass," He said obnoxiously, "But instead to the girl that was looking at me.
"And who in the hell would be looking at your ugly whiskered face?" Ino insulted back, kind of lying when she used the word "ugly".
Naruto cleared his throat, and smirk. "Her." He pointed at Hinata whose heart nearly stopped.
"H-huh?" Hinata could only say.
"What the hell are you talking about?" The dog-loving boy asked.
"She obviously admires me, since she was looking at me." He started.
"A-admire you?" She whispered to herself.
"That's highly not the case. Why? Becau-." Shino started his sentence monotony.
"And I came here to talk to her, since she has noticed my impeccable greatness." Naruto ignored his comment, and looked at the heiress.
"U-um...umm." Was the only thing that could escape her mouth. She was so flustered, surprised, and scared at the same time.
"Dude, just leave already." Kiba stepped in, Hinata was grateful of Kiba at that moment.
Naruto ignored him and started looking at her, and then got closer to Hinata, observing her. This was his way to getting to know a person, by looking close at them. It was rude and weird, but it was his own special way of figuring out what type of person she was. They were practically forehead to forehead now. Hinata had never been that close to a boy in her life.
"U-umm, c-can you plea-please-." She stuttered, flushing like crazy.
"Whoa, there's some icing on your lips, let me get that." Before anyone could say anything, Naruto removed the icing off her lips with his thumbs, and before you knew it he already licked the icing off her thumb. Hinata blushed furiously, her eyes feeling heavier and heavier. She felt like she was going to faint. Again she wondered how someone could be so bold!
"Hey!" A voice from behind yelled. "What are you doing with Hinata?!"
All heads turned to the voice.
Hinata's eye's shot open in utter shock, "Neji nee-san?"
