Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Chapter 5

Sasuke couldn't keep his eyes off him. Throughout the last minutes of class he couldn't keep his eyes from straying to the sleeping blond in the back. Not that girl Ino but Naruto.

He swiveled around when the blond opened his sapphire eyes and looked into his. Once he was sure the blond was asleep once more he turned to ask Kiba some questions about the blond.

Kiba laughed. " Aah you're interested in Uzumaki huh?" Kiba's grin widened as Sasuke's scowled but didn't deny. "Well… Uzumaki isn't a guy you just talk to, he doesn't really let people in if you know what I mean."

"He does flirt and flaunt himself at girls from time to time. Though they usually don't last for more than a day. He's a pretty bad apple. I'd pretty much advice you not to hang around him though. He likes his silence."

"He can land a pretty hard punch for being such a pretty boy too." Kiba added rubbing his cheek unconsciously.

Sasuke smirked. " You know from experience I bet." Kiba growled good-naturally.

"I was just trying to get to know him and cracked a few jokes about his mom and them BAM!" Kiba waved his arms around for emphasis.

Shikamaru, the sleeping brunette snorted." You deserved it and you know it."

Shino, the boy with shades, nodded as well. "What the hell is this national gang up on Kiba day or something!?!" Kiba exclaimed with a scowl.

Neji and the rest chuckled. The rest had become strangely quiet when Naruto's name had come up but Sasuke chucked it away as something he didn't really need to know.

Sasuke allowed the smirk he was sporting to become more prominent however to the growing ire of Kiba.

"So Sasuke what classes are you taking." Neji asked.

Sasuke shrugged and handed them his schedule. They compared for a while before Kiba exclaimed. "All right we got all of our classes together!"

They talked for a while. About meaningless stuff really but Sasuke found it quite nice. He'd never really had anyone to talk to this casually with so it was very new to him but he found it very relaxing.

He glanced from time to time toward the blond though. When the bell rang Kakashi dismissed them. Though he called for Naruto and himself to stay after. Kiba and rest sent him waves and proceeded out the door.

"Sasuke mind waiting outside while I talk to Naruto alone for a second." Kakashi told Sasuke keeping his eyes locked on Naruto who had stirred and was gazing at them with half lidded eyes that Sasuke found strangely alluring.

Sasuke nodded quickly and closed the door behind him. What the hell had he been thinking?! Alluring?

He glanced at the closed door a couple of times before letting his curiosity get the better of him. So with that decided he leant forward and pressed an ear toward the door.

It was hard to hear anything but he picked up a few sentences though despite that:

"no I …."

"didn't think so."

"How's she doing?"

" I can't.." pause "…..handle it anymore Kakashi."

" Is it him.."

" It's fine…"

" I know."

" She loves me….and I…."

"Do you love her?" then silence.

"Okay we're done for today meet me tomorrow for another talk okay." silence again.

Sasuke pulled himself off the door as footsteps approached and swung open. Kakashi ushered him in.

Sasuke noticed that Naruto had not left the room and felt a slight smidge of contentment that he chalked away as relief of not being forced to find his way across the huge school.

"Okay Sasuke since you really don't know the layout of the school I got naruto here to volunteertoshow you around! Okay off you go!" Kakashi chirped happily.

Though Sasuke couldn't help but noticed the way he looked at Naruto in concern. It made him wonder what kind of relationship he and Naruto shared.

Stirring some….dare he think. jealousy?Sasuke shook his head clear of those thoughts quickly. I don't even know this guy, how can I even think that I'm jealous. Plus there's the fact that he's a well guy!

A cough to his left quickly brought him back to focus. Naruto was staring at him strangely.

Sasuke flushed briefly in embarrassment. . How could he just space out like that!? Stuff like this doesn't happen to me. Ever!

"What?" Sasuke retorted trying to gain some control. The same control he felt he lost just by being near this boy.

Naruto merely rolled his eyes and gestured toward the halls. Sasuke got the message and started walking down the halls.

Pausing when Naruto stopped and listening attentively when he spoke. His voice was just so silky. A mix between feminine and manly. It was weird to describe. It was just so nice to listen to him talk.

I could probably listen to him talk for hours and still not get sick of hearing it.. Sasuke thought pleasantly.

All too quickly they arrived at their second period. Naruto and him parted leaving him disappointed. But it was quickly replaced with a feeling of almost excitement when the blond promised him he'd show him the rest of the school later.

The next two periods passed rather fast. Mr. Umino was really nice though a bit scary when and if you got him mad.

Third period was really weird. Mostly due to the fact that their gym teacher was a maniac! I mean really who fucking wears green leotards to gym! There's just got to be something wrong with him!

As the bell rang Sasuke rushed and put away his gym clothes away. Kiba and Shino glanced at him curiously. Well Kiba did and Shino well….it was hard to tell.

"Slow down Sasuke, what's the rush man!" Kiba exclaimed patting Sasuke on the back.

Sasuke merely glared and slowed down a notch. He was not rushing! Uchiha's rushed for no man!But he did feel impatient.

As soon as Kiba and Shino finished up they headed off toward the cafeteria. Sasuke was only half listening to the chattering. Done mostly by Kiba because Shino doesn't really talk. He usually just listened.

Sasuke meanwhile was craning his head around trying in vain to catch a glimpse of Naruto.

Where the hell is he!? He thought with frustration. They stopped at a table at the corner where Garaa, Neji, and Shikamaru already sat.

They sure changed fast. Sasuke thought bemusedly.

Sasuke pulled out his lunch from his bag as did the other boys. He sure as hell wasn't going to chance the cafeteria food that's for sure. It might as well be suicide! At least that's what the gang informed him.

Thank god I asked Itachi to make me lunch for school. Speaking of which where is Itachi Sasuke wondered.

"So who are you looking for Sasuke?" Kiba asked with a sly grin successfully pulling the raven from his thoughts.

Kiba ignoring Sasuke's glared continued. "Naruto I presume?"

"Shut up Kiba!" Sasuke said coldly. He only succeeded in making Kiba's grin on his face widen. Shikamaru intervened before Sasuke could jump Kiba.

"You looking for Uzumaki?" Shikamaru asked with a bored drawl propping himself up on his elbows. Sasuke hesitated but nodded curtly.

If anyone could tell him where the blond was it would be Shikamaru. He could tell as much from his observations skills in class.

"He's up on the roof near the 1,000's buildings. He likes to hang there so he doesn't get bothered by some of his well more persistent fan girls." Shikamaru informed him.

Sasuke thanked him and stood up and headed toward the 1,000's building quickly ignoring Kiba's warning of ,"Remember he may be pretty but he packs a mean punch!"
