Here we have another chapter! YEAH! I'm going to try to get the next one done way faster… I'm a lazy writer. Anyway on to chapter 4! (Oh I want to add that I think my writing maybe better because of my AP English class I've been taking. Hopefully it is anyway.) Sorry it took so long…I had to get inspired. (Usually music I listen to will do that.)

I changed the way Hebi talks. I like better.

Reviews from last chapter:

AnotherKindOfAsian: Thanks! I just thought that Naruto probably would join a gang and become a bad boy because of his lack of parental guidance and that fact that everyone hates him. Also thank you for the favorite and alert. That makes me very happy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. The characters belong to their creator. I thought of this plot, but most of the idea comes from the Naruto Shippu! "Konoha gakuen"den, which also belongs to the creator.

Chapter 4

It was just past noon when Naruto walked up to the school. Even though he was headed toward the school gates, he had no intentions of going to that soporific place. That place was full of people who would never accept him for who he was as far as he knew. Instead he was headed for the one place he knew the people accepted him.

The gang. That was his home. That was where he was surrounded by people who understood him, and the one place he really felt alive.

Quickly and quietly he slipped passed the school gates, but as he did so something caught his eye.

There in the middle of the courtyard stood Sasuke. He was looking around like he was expecting someone. 'He's maybe just waiting for some girl, but he sure looks suspicious.' Naruto thought and with that he decided to see what Sasuke was up to.

---

It was close to noon when Sasuke walked onto the school grounds. He was sure the teachers were going to ask why he was late, but he really hadn't meant to be. After all he hadn't meant to sleep in this morning. Sasuke stopped in the center of the courtyard and looked up at the cloudless blue sky.

It was a beautiful day especially compared to how it had been just the other day. Although the city had been experiencing a drought lately and the rain had been a nice change, it was good to have the sun back warming the earth. Soon though it was going to start getting cold out because fall was coming which meant that the students would have to start wearing there their heavier uniforms.

At this thought Sasuke lowered his head and was now looking at the school building. He really didn't feel like going today, but he knew if he didn't that he would suddenly be suspected of joining a gang like that Naruto kid, who rarely showed up to school. Even if he did show up, he would be there for one hour maybe even one hour and a half and then he would suddenly be gone. Naruto was someone Sasuke defiantly didn't want to be compared to.

Sighing he started to walk to the school when suddenly he heard a voice.

"Well well, what do we have here? I didn't think you had the guts to skip class but looks like you proved me wrong."

Naruto stood there grinning manically at Sasuke. He chuckled a little, but soon stopped still keeping he grin firmly in place.

"That's were your wrong. Unlike you I'm not skipping class. Now if you excuse me I'll be heading to class were you should be." Sasuke said with his back to Naruto as he headed toward the front doors of the school.

"What are you scared?" Naruto mocked leaning back against the brick wall that stood surrounding the school behind him.

At those words Sasuke stopped.

"You think I'm scared?" Slowly Sasuke turned.

"What do think Mr. I-think-I-know-everything?" Naruto was really enjoying himself now. He didn't expect that teasing Sasuke would be so much fun.

Sasuke came to a stop and continued to stare at Naruto.

No words passed between them, just complete and udder silence.

Slowly Naruto's grin fell as he pushed himself off the wall.

Sasuke watched him quietly. Naruto was up to something and he need to find out what before it was too late.

Naruto looked at Sasuke. Again Sasuke thought he saw a flash of red in Naruto's eyes.

"You know your really starting to piss me off. Just looking at you makes me want to just punch you straight in the face." Naruto said not taking his eyes off Sasuke for even a moment.

"If you're so intent on it, why don't you do it, huh?" Sasuke said. This time it was Sasuke who was grinning.

Again a silence came over the two boys.

Finally after a long silence Sasuke turned his back to Naruto and started off for the school doors. "I guess you don't have the guts to do it. You may talk tough, but when it really comes down to it, you're nothing but a big wannabe and you'll never amount to anything. Not in the real world or your made up gang life."

---

"You'll never amount to anything. Not in the real world or your made up gang life."

That was the final straw for Naruto. Sasuke could talk trash about him in many ways, but when it came down to his life Sasuke had no room to speak. Not about that and with those words Naruto took to action. Without warning Naruto flung himself at Sasuke, fists coming in full fury. Naruto didn't care any more. Not about this bastard. He would give everything to beat Sasuke to death and that's just what he planned to do.

Naruto's fist connected but not where he was hoping. Instead of getting Sasuke in the face Naruto's fist connected to his stomach. Apparently Sasuke had been anticipating the fist and was barley able to dodge a devastating hit.

Sasuke staggered back from the hit, but Naruto didn't give him anytime to recover. Naruto drove another punch into Sasuke's stomach, but instead staggering back again Sasuke stood strong and grabbed Naruto's arm. Then he kneed him hard in the stomach with as much force as possible.

Both boys fell backwards. Quickly Naruto recovered and again ran at Sasuke, but Sasuke was quick to block the punch and retaliated with a kick in the side. Sasuke smirked as his kick connected, but it was short lived as Naruto twisted Sasuke's arm and flipped Sasuke over his head and onto the ground. Then Naruto proceed to punch Sasuke in the face. He got three good hits and then Sasuke blocked and kicked Naruto over his head. Quickly Sasuke stood up, as did Naruto. They both stood there panting.

Naruto again charged Sasuke but Sasuke duck underneath Naruto's fists and tackled him to the ground. There the two boys started to roll around punching one another. Finally after a few minutes of this, Naruto managed to knock Sasuke off of him. Naruto stood up. His face was a bloody mess because Sasuke had managed to make Naruto's nose bleed.

Sasuke on the other hand only had a few bruises on his face and some blood trickled down his chin.

All of a sudden the lunch bell rang. This of course wasn't good and Naruto looked at Sasuke. "You got lucky, Uchiha." And with that he turned and ran out the school gates.

---

"Damn bastard, I'll kill him next time, even if the damn school bell rings." Naruto said as he turned into an alleyway.

"What took ya so long and why are ya bleeding?" Came Hebi's voice out of the darkness.

"It's nothing." Naruto replied

"Did you and ya girl get in tah a lovea's spat?" Hebi laughed.

"I said it was nothing, Hebi." Naruto said his eyes flashing on where Hebi sat. Naruto wasn't in the mood to be messed with.

"Naruto calm down. Hebi was just messing with you like always." Nagano said walking up to Naruto. Nagano looked Naruto in the eyes, noticing the color change. "Hebi leave him be okay. You know it's not good to screw with him when he is angry. Remember last time?"

Hebi shutter at the thought of the memory.

"Nagano if ya 'adn't been there I would be dead right 'bout now."

Naruto started to dig into his pockets.

"Here Naruto, have some of this." Suki said as she handed him a bottle. "It some of the good stuff."

Naruto nodded in thanks and popped the top off. He guzzled it down quickly, gasping as he finished it.

"Anyway, as I was saying. We need to stop that other gang from trying to take over this area. Any ideas?" Nagano looked around at the group. No one made any motion or even looked as though they were trying to figure out a plan. "I guess we'll continue tomorrow on that." Nagano sighed.

Sakura came walking out of the school for lunch. She wasn't looking foreword to it since Sasuke hadn't come to school. She would have to sit with Ino and her friends today, which was never a positive experience for anyone especially her. Just as she was heading over to sit with Ino, something caught her eye. There standing by the furthest table in the court yard was a raven-haired boy. Happily Sakura bounded over to the boy.

"Sasuke, I didn't think you would come to school today. I mean after all you weren't in class and all….Sasuke are you bleeding?!" She hadn't notice until now that Sasuke was hold a napkin up to his lower lip.

"It's nothing Sakura." He said not looking at her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay, whatever you say." Sakura said giving up on her curiosity which ailed her still. "You'll tell sometime."

Sakura sat down at the table pulling out her lunch from her bag. She looked up again at Sasuke and smiled at him.

Sasuke sighed and sat down across from her.

Sakura could tell something was wrong. She could tell from the many bruises on his face and the fact his lip was bleeding that whatever happened wasn't good at all. She knew not to pry into other peoples lives, even if it was one of your friends. None the less she still wanted to know. Hopefully he'd tell her sometime and with that thought she started to talk about the classes and anything else her brain came up with to talk about.

'He'll tell me sometime. For now I have to wait.'

There is the end! Sorry again that it took so long….
