Demons Dawn Chapter Two: Sasuke

Everything was neat and new in the administrations building but Naruto didn't notice as he stumbled into the room. The blond secretary with half moon glasses looked started as the whisker faced boy came in. she jumped out of her seat and went over to him, helping him get up gingerly as if afraid to get a disease from him.

"Are you o.k. young man?" she asked as he got up. She straightened out her kaki suit and peered down at him with a reserved curiosity.

"Me, a young man? You must be joking!" he closed an eye and waged a finger at her, "I'm barely twelve. But that was nice of you to say." He said and turned his back to her, towards the door that lead to the Hokage's office and started to walk to it. He frowned slightly as he sensed the feeble power behind the door, he had expected much more. He made his way to it but had to turn back as he heard the secretary shout.

"You can't do that! Hokage-sama is busy!" she held out her hand grabbed his shoulder. Naruto turned to her slightly startled.

"Why not? I need to talk to the Hokage," he roughly shrugged her hand off.

She was getting mad, you could tell as she clenched her fist and held it to her chest. Her black eyes stared out in pure anger at him. She walked up to him and was very close to slapping him, but of course she was a lady and would not hurt and impertinent little worm like him. Not yet at least.

"You will not disturb Hokage-sama! You little brat!" she shouted as she clenched her fists even harder to her chest. She was practically spiting at him but Naruto simply cleaned off the spit. He opened his mouth to speak and the woman seeing that he was about to speak opened her mouth as well, then her eyes got wide in surprise. She bowed respectfully in Naruto's direction.

Naruto very slowly got out of his slightly hunched pose and turned around as slowly as possible. He gulped as he looked up. Oh, yea he was screwed.

Before him stood a wrinkled man that shouted HOKAGE. Naruto distantly heard the woman go back to her place behind the desk.

"What is going on here," he spoke softly in the woman's direction.

"Hokage-sama he wanted to get in without permission," she said quietly. When she isn't screaming like a harpy she had quite a nice voice voice, Naruto thought. The Hokage nodded to her and then turned to Naruto. Naruto started to sweat, a lot.

"What did you wish to see me for?" the Hokage asked softly.

"Well, um, you see. I'm new here," Naruto stammered, "and the, um, letter kinda said to go to you first. Hokage-sama, sir."

The Hokage grinned, "you must be the Naruto Uzumaki then." Naruto nodded as the Hokage led him into his office by the shoulder, Naruto's head was down so he didn't notice that a dark figure walked past him. The office was cluttered with paperwork. The Hokage motioned for Naruto to sit in the chair facing his cluttered desk. As Naruto gazed up suspiciously he barely registered that he wore robes and a big hat with the kanji for fire on it, it didn't seem out of place for him in such a place like this.

"So..." Naruto trailed off as he tried to start up a conversation. The Third Hokage chuckled slightly at the boy. And rose up to were he was at.

He handed him a piece of paper.

"This is all that you will need for now. This is your schedule for the rest of the year, it will not be changed unless you so request it. Thought even then it will be hard to. The room you will be staying in is also on there. That is unless you have someone here in Konoha village?" the Hokage spoke opening the door and ushering Naruto out, there was an uncomfortable silence. Naruto clumsily got up and out the door.

The Hokage was about to close the door when Naruto suddenly whirled on him.

"What about if I get lost or something!?" he asked looking expectantly at the Hokage, "and if get lost I wont be able to find my classes! And if I don't find my classes I won't get and education. And if I don't get an education I won't be able to have a decent job. And if I don't get a job I won ever make anything out of myself. And if", — Naruto was abruptly cut off.

"Just ask one of the students," the Hokage replied gruffly. He had a feeling that the boy could have gone on forever, he smiled at the smiling boy. He reminded him of someone.... It was not the time for idle thoughts however and he dismissed such musings from his mind.

"Hokage I think we just might be friends!" the boy said before he hurriedly walked out of the office. The Third smiled and gently closed the door behind him.

----------

Naruto looked nervously at the paper. He was lost already. The paper was up to his face as he examined very closely and so did not see someone running in his general direction.

He walked a few slow steps forward and SLAM!

He was knocked to the ground roughly making the paper in his hands fly out.

Naruto quickly got up without thinking showing a grace all his own. A playful wind had decided to carry off the paper as he ran toward it and stuck it in the highest limb of a tree. He groaned but went after it jumping up the braches with ease. Tree climbing had been a favorite hobby of his whenever he found a particularly high tree. He caught the paper as it was about to fly off and jumped down from branch to branch without a second thought to it. He landed softly on his feet his slightly bent.

The one he had slammed into had been watching all this with a detached amusement. This boy had control as well as speed, but there was something odd about it. His movements were almost animal like and always precise. The blue eyes of the boy that had climbed down from the tree scanned around and found him still sitting on the floor.

He had been expecting the blue-eyed guy to offer and apology as he opened his mouth but what came out was entirely different and as he furrowed his eyebrows in anger.

"You idiot what the heck did you slam into me for! Are fricken blind or something!" the boy continued to nearly scream. And for some reason to the blond boys surprise it attracted attention from other uniformed boys. The black haired boy got up from the ground.

"It was you, dobe, that had his nose in that piece of paper not me," his voice cold. But the blue-eyed boy didn't even flinch. The blond carefully folded the paper into a very neat square and put it in his pants pocket.

"Whatever," he turned his back and started to walk away.

"Come back here!" the black haired one shouted, "I Uchiha Sasuke challenge you." The blond boy froze in place and shivered. Sasuke picked up on it. "What you, scared?"

"No," he turned around, "it's called anticipation. And since you gave me your name I will give you mine. Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto grinned at him as he held out his hand but not in greeting merely as a hand gesture Sasuke stared at then back at Naruto. He never, ever, ran away from a fight. And from continues fighting the other children had learned to leave Uzumaki Naruto alone and earned him the prized title of bully.

"I don't know who you are nor do I care," Sasuke called as he got into his stance. Naruto put his hands in his pockets. Sasuke raised an eyebrow and said nothing more.

"Whatever Uchiha boy," Naruto said and glanced around, there was definitely a crowd gathering. Curios boys thirsty for a fight, Naruto would try his best to give them a show.

Sasuke lunged at Naruto while Naruto had surveyed the scene, he barely managed to sidestep the attack.

Damn this guy is quicker then I thought he would be, Naruto though as he sidestepped toward the tree. The Uchiha boy however knew his intent; to take the fight were he had a clear advantage. To the treetops. Because now watching him Sasuke realized that Naruto's speed had been to his confidence and practice in the trees, but on the level ground it was a whole different story. He seemed somewhat slower as if not used to the terrain.

Uchiha would have his victory yet.

Sasuke cut off Naruto by moving in between him and the tree. Daring Naruto to get closer while a kunai shined in his hand. Naruto's eyes widened and his mouth made a small surprised o, but then he quickly grinned as he lunged at Sasuke.

In the back of Sasuke's head he head he was wondering if this was an illusion as he wondered who would be truly dumb enough to go head to head with him so early on. And not to mention with a kunai in hand that looked sharp enough to slit throat's smoothly.

His eyes widened in surprise as he felt the all too real hit as he blocked with his arms. Time stood still for a while. With the blonds leg up on Sasuke's crossed arms and him looking up at Naruto's grinning face. So much hope in that face, so much hope and no bitterness, Sasuke thought, I hate him.

Sasuke pushed of Naruto's leg and hit him dead on in the stomach. Naruto lurched over holding his stomach but quickly rose up again standing straighter then before.

"Nice. But I've had worse you know," Naruto said and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Sasuke's eyes widened as he felt a presence behind him, he ducked and there was wind from the punch but he was brought down from under. In a rage Sasuke slashed out with his kunai, it made contact with flesh and blood dropped onto his face and few in his mouth. He spat out the coppery taste as he got up.

The boy Naruto was staring at him holding his arm and it was bleeding. He was giving him a deer in the headlights look, then his eyes looked hurt and they immediately turned angry; as they should be, Sasuke thought somewhat relieved.

"YOU BASTARD!" he said as he lunged once again. Sasuke grinned as he rushed forward as well, Naruto may be a fast little runt. But I'm faster! He struck Naruto; all blows landing squarely were they should.

In the end Naruto was nothing more then a curled up unconscious heap of flesh. And by then the other boys had smartly dispersed away from the scene of the crime.

----------

Sasuke was sleeping when the door in his room opened. They were bringing someone in. He was silent feigning sleep and a kunai in both hands. His eyes gleamed like polished stone as he watched the proceedings.

They placed a body in the bed next to him, covered him up gently and left. As soon as he heard the soft click in the door, he got up in nothing more then black boxer shorts. His feet were noiseless in the carpeted floor. He could tell that the face of the one was slightly covered. He moved the cover away with a slight twitch of his finger. He almost gasped. But of course this Uchiha would never do that.

It was none other then:

Uzumaki Naruto.

He was seething with rage as he slipped back in bed. As he looked on to the boy besides him, Sasuke got a shock as he saw two distinct glimmers looking back at him. Then the glimmers were abruptly gone. He had closed his eyes.

Sasuke slipped into half sleep.

The name Uzumaki Naruto rang through his mind as he went to sleep.
