BHIris: -sniffle- God, my characters are so mean to me. The author! -narrows eyes- I shall do something terribly mean to them!
Shikamaru: Why am I here? Not for comfort I hope...I don't do the whole 'comforting shoulder' thing. It's far to-
Neji: Troublesome. We all know Shika-kun.
BHIris: -laughs like a fucking maniac- Ooh! I have it! But first, disclaimer please?
Shikamaru: BlackhawkIris does not own Naruto. So, therefor we don't belong to her, correct?
Neji: Insightful as always, Shika. But sadly, we are her's to manipulate. She's the author after all. Though I'm a bit worried, she seems unstable.
BHIris: -still laughing-
Neji: Err..should we just leave her here? But that seems so unyouthful.
Shikamaru: You've been seeing Lee too much lately, haven't you? Anyways, just leave her. It's too troublesome. I'm going back to bed.
BHIris: AW. I LOVE YOU TOO BUBBLES. YOU AND ME.
Chapter Two
The orange streak that had been seen only moments ago by the stoic Sasuke Uchiha continued oblivious, speeding down the lightening street. The turn of the sharp corner on his motorcycle (or 'Ramen' as he liked to call it) had left the boy slightly breathless from the thrill of the ride. Bright azure eyes were minted by the dark film attached to the sturdy helmet clasped around the head. Naruto Uzumaki rode at a speed almost as blinding as the fucking orange getup he had on. Nothing was like a ride around to check the new streets he would soon be using on a daily bases, at 7 AM in the morning.
Screeching to a sudden stop at the red hexagonal sign, the blond quickly glanced down at the watch around his wrist.
Deidara and Ino should be getting up at around now.
He gunned the engine and roared down another street, committing the route into memory.
Or maybe not. They do enjoy sleeping in as late as possible.
Naruto smirked at the thought as he crossed the final bend into his new neighborhood. Quietly he unlocked the sliding garage door and towed his ride in. Leaning his black beauty against the rail, he ran into the house…to come face-to-face with his foster father.
Iruka Umino's face turned instantly from dark tan to bright red in a matter of seconds upon seeing his youngest son finally return home 10 minutes before school started. Naruto instantly paled as he saw how angry his father seemed.
"D-dad? W-w-what's up?"
To see the least, Iruka blew his top off.
"'WHAT'S UP', 'WHAT'S UP'? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S FUCKING UP! YOU ARE LATE, LATE FOR SCHOOL! WHERE WERE YOU? DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS? HOW CLOSE I WAS TO CALLING THE POLICE? SOMEONE COULD HAVE STABBED YOU OR ROBBED YOU OR—OR ANYTHING! AND SCHOOL STARTS IN 10 MINUTES!"
Wait, back up. 10 minutes?
Naruto instantly began profusely apologizing. Iruka, upon seeing his teary-eyed son, instantly deflated. He could never stay mad at Naruto for very long.
"Just go get dressed. Deidara already took Ino to school, so you'll have to come with me. You have exactly two minutes. I'm counting!"
Naruto raced up as soon as he heard 'get dressed'. Fumbling through the stacks of junk littered around his room, he dug out the wrinkled Konoha Elite jacket that all members were required to wear. Flinging it across his small frame, he tried in vain to straighten the knotted tie. Realizing he had no time, he flittered out of the room and into the garage where Iruka sat waiting in their cheap van.
Swinging the door open and jumping into the shot gun was an amazing feat when trying to button your shirt and clinging to your backpack all at once. But Naruto had always been a pretty amazing (late) kid so this he was pretty used to it.
The car ride there was bumpy due to the lack of good wheels, but overall filled with chatter. Iruka was in a good mood again, something Naruto had always managed to do in stressful situations such as this. Everything about Naruto was sunny. His personality as well as his looks. He had choppy blond locks that stuck up no matter how many times Iruka combed them. Cobalt-blue seemed to reflect the innocence and naïve presence of the blond. Though small-framed, Naruto never let anyone forget him.
Even at a young age, Naruto was an attention seeker, intentionally or not. Part was that blond hair/blue eyes were abnormal in a land such as Japan where everywhere you looked seemed to be a dark-haired person. Deidara and Ino had the same looks going for them but Naruto himself was a ball of sunshine. His eyes always portrayed liveliness. Always full of energy—everyone seemed to love him right away. It made him unique from the rest. The other part was that Naruto had no real family. He was not blood-related to Iruka or any of his other siblings, though the connection between them was just as strong. A small part of him always seeked the approval and attention of others. To make him feel needed, wanted. That side withdrew a ways after he met Iruka and the others, but still managed to show at times.
Another thing was that the blond loved racing. His precious baby Ramen always won him extra cash when he was younger and alone. Now, expenses were paid from Iruka's own teaching budget. Naruto no longer raced as frequently as before, but he still loved the thrill it gave him. It was almost like flying.
Naruto had been talking about a special ramen stand he had run across on his ride that morning when Iruka's car pulled into Konoha Elite. Both men had stopped in mid chatter just to gaze in awe of the beautiful school. White limestone contrasted the pale design of the school board. Parking lot was paved with fresh, dark latter and filled with sports cars in all different designs and shades.
Damn, rich people have it good. I bet they're all snobs.
Naruto and Iruka were interrupted by a slight tapping on the window. Startled, they both turned to see Deidara and Ino smiling happily at them. Iruka unlocked the doors and they both hopped out.
Deidara hugged both of the men, his one visible eye crinkling around the edges. The other blue eye was hidden under the heavy gold-blond hair that always covered one half of his face. The rest of the silky strands were pulled into a high ponytail. He gestured to the beautiful school behind him.
"Nice, un? When we pulled in, Ino just about peed her uniform."
Ino sniffed, a white-blond strand of hair brushing against the length of her face. The rest of the hair was combed into a sleek pony. Even as high as it was, the hair still reached to her belly-button tied up.
"Say's the one that fell out of the car onto his bum when he actually looked. But this is an amazing masterpiece of a school. Too bad, 'Dara, you're too old. Jealousy's a virtue."
"Actually, the phrase is 'Patience is a virtue'." Iruka added in quickly. He was an elementary school teacher. He would know.
Deidara grinned, "Right, un. Just wait until you see the building I work at. I saw pictures and the place is HUGE, un. Then we'll see who's jealous, un."
Ino gave an un-womanly snort before turning back to Naruto, "Anyways, first period just started. But it's only for choir and band and such. Music stuff. We don't actually start until 7:45. This means another 30 minutes or so. Deidara wanted to wait for you guys before leaving, since he's too chicken to go to the job he claims will make me jealous."
Deidara held his hands up in mock surrender, "Whatever, un. I won't fight you Ino-imouto."
Iruka managed a stern voice at his eldest son, "Deidara, you should probably go then. Don't want to be late on your first day."
Naruto laughed at expense of them all. Their looks brightened as they heard Naruto's laughter.
"Alright, alright, un. I know when I'm not wanted. I'll get going, see you guys later, un. Good-luck at school, Naru-chan, Ino!"
"Good luck to you too, Deidara-onii-chan!" Naruto called back as he waved enthusiastically.
Deidara waved before parting to his ride. The bright yellow bug chugged away as the rest of them waved as well.
"Oi, Iruka-chichi, you should probably go too. Don't you have class to teach in an hour?" Ino asked sweetly.
Iruka jumped as the realization. "Oh right! I should leave as well. Don't want to be late like Deidara, no?" He grinned before turning back to them. "Why don't you guys check in and get your schedules or something?"
Ino smiled.
"Already did mine. Deidara made me when we were waiting for you guys. I'll take Naruto with me."
Naruto tilted his head cutely, making both Iruka and Ino 'awwww' inside.
"Wait, how early were you guys here?"
"At around 6:45 or so. We thought actual class started at 7:15, not just the music classes."
Iruka rubbed his head sheepishly, "Yeah, sorry about sending you guys so early. I should have checked the schedule more clearly."
Ino shook her head, "Nah, that's alright. We're here and we're not late. What more can we ask for?"
Iruka chortled as he hopped onto the van. Buckling himself in, he swelled with pride at both of his kids (they were his no matter what people say) waving so happily outside the beautiful high school. Both of them were on full scholarships to go to such a prime high school. They were both extremely smart and this proved it. Iruka loved them both, but could never have afforded to pay for such a tuition. Now, they could have the dream of a lifetime. Konoha Elite. The school that provided the highest amount of education with extremely well-taught teachers. Only the rich could afford to send their heirs to such a school. But here they were, Naruto and Ino, about to enter their last year of high school in the school of their dreams.
Blinking away tears that he didn't know were there, Iruka backed out of the parking lot, still waving at his not-so-little kids until they were no longer visible. Then, he drove to the elementary school he would be teaching at without a backwards glance.
