Move Along

Naruto entered the school back to his usual late self. Last night had truly been a weird night, but at least Sasuke had accepted his friendship…sort of.

"You can trust me. We're friends after all."

"Maybe, but you can't help."

"Penis." Ino stated bringing Naruto back to reality and making him give her a strange look at the same time. "Why were you late?" She asked.

"Slept in." He stated simply.

"Oh, what were you doing with Uchiha?" She asked.

"Huh?" He asked then looked and noticed that Sasuke had entered almost right behind him and was talking to Kakashi-sensei about why he was late. Two days in a row. "I wasn't, I guess we got here about the same time." He finished still looking at him.

Sasuke finally turned around and his eyes landed on Naruto for a moment before he quickly turned away and went to his seat all alone.

"Um…Naruto are you alright?" Sakura asked.

Naruto didn't look away from Sasuke, but the black haired male seemed to find everything but him interesting.

"Yea, I'm fine." He answered/lied.

He was of course perfectly fine, except now his mind was set on the raven haired male. He didn't look so good, his uniform crinkled he was paler then usual and his eyes looked like they had bags under them.

"Um...I'll be right back okay." He told the two girls before getting up and walking over to Sasuke and sitting down across from him for a moment.

Sasuke finally looked up at him suppressing his surprise.

"You ran away last night." Naruto commented. "We didn't get to finish talking."

"Now's not the time." Sasuke replied softly.

"I know, I was just wondering if for today you'd like to sit with Sakura-chan, Ino, and myself?" Naruto finished.

"No." Sasuke replied.

"Why not?" The blonde asked.

"Because you annoy me." He explained.

"Makes sense…but it beats the hell out of sitting alone." He retorted.

"And the rumors will only grow."

"So you have heard the rumor?"

"Which one? The one where we're a couple and you beat me up because we got into a fight or the one where you tried to kill me with a bicycle?" Sasuke asked.

"Whoa, hadn't heard the second one yet." Naruto laughed. "People are such Morons." Naruto commented. "Besides, no one with a brain believes that shit, which is why Zaku and most of your fangirls believe it."

Sasuke chuckled a little. "Zaku was probably the one who made it up."

"I'd buy that." Naruto commented smiling a little. "So c'mon, sit with us." He offered again.

"No thank you." Sasuke replied.

"Well at least I got a 'thank you' this time." The blonde commented. "Don't make me beg."

There was a pause of silence.

"Please?"

"Fine!" Sasuke agreed half without thinking then he realized what he'd just done. Agreed to sit with Naruto and two other people. He put his head down hiding his embarrassed blush.

"Yes!" Naruto exclaimed grabbing Sasuke's books and setting them on his table across from where he was sitting and winking at the two girls who gave him confussed looks in response.

Naruto went back over to the table and lifted Sasuke up by his arm and all but dragged him to the other table where he sat him down in the seat across from him then ran around the table and sat down himself.

"Hehe." Naruto laughed to himself proud that he won for now.

"If you're going to be creepy, I'll leave." Sasuke commented with a sigh giving up for now. There wasn't much really he could do he had already called himself and idiot over and over again due to the stupidity of giving Naruto what he wanted. Strange weird ass blonde.

"I'm not being creepy." Naruto replied.

"You sure seem like you are." Sasuke mumbled.

"U-um…is it t-true?" One of the girls from another table asked. "Are you two really a couple I mean?" She asked quieter.

"Yea, cause we're such total fags." Naruto replied sarcastically then snickered. Wait wasn't he gay anyway?

"Oh…I'm sorry, it's just y'know, I didn't believe it, but the way you were…handling Sasuke-kun made me think that maybe the rumor was true…and that you made up." She replied shyly.

"I think if Naruto had tried to kill me with a bicycle I'd be a little hesitant to talk to him." Sasuke replied quietly shocking everyone at the table. He spoke! OH. MY. GOD! He can speak!

"HE HAS A VOICE!" Ino exclaimed jumping up Sakura jumping with her.

"WHAT! I THOUGHT HE WAS A MUTE!" Sakura agreed.

"COOL RIGHT!" Naruto also yelled just for the hell of getting to yell.

Sasuke in response grabbed one of his heavier books with his good hand and whacked Naruto over the head with it. "Are you done now, Baka?" He asked.

"Nope!" Naruto replied giving him a smile.

-XxX-

"So I'll see you tomorrow okay, Bastard?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke just stared at him. "I don't get you. Why are you so…?"

"Eh? What? Are you offended cause I called you Bastard?"

"N-no…" Sasuke answered. "It's just…" He sighed. "Forget it." He finished turning down the street that would lead him back home.

"Hey, Helpful (1)!" Naruto called after him making him look back. "I will help you. No matter what you say. Even if you hate me for it."

Without another word the blonde haired blued eyed boy walked away.

NearKunn: Yay! I finally finished this chapter! This chapter took me so very long to make! But it's over now! XD

Sasuke: The story?!

NearKunn: No, the chapter.

Sasuke: Damnit!

Naruto: So children, you know we like reviews, you know we ask for them constantly…SO HOW COME SASUKE'S HEAD IS STILL INTACT?! I ASK YOU THIS!!!!!!!!!

Sasuke: What's wrong with you?

Naruto: I don't know…is insanity contagious?

Sasuke: *looks at NearKunn and Itachi* Man I hope not…

I looked it up, Sasuke's name means Help or Assistance, but he was actually named after Sasuke Sarutobi, a famous ninja from children's stories in 1911-1925. However, I thought it would be better to go with Help in this story because it's ironic that he's the one who needs the help.

NearKunn-sensei's amazing history lesson! XD
