Chapter 7

*One Week Later*

Naruto stood, arms crossed as he watch his PE teacher Guy explain the rules to the basketball game they were going to play. He scratched his belly, cursing that they all had to wear a uniform for PE. He hated the black shorts and green shirts, he never understood why they had to wear such dark colors. He glanced at the other students in his class, rolling his eyes as he saw Lee smiling happily as Guy-sensei explained the rules. Naruto could swear the two were related with the black bowl cut hairstyles and the same bushy eyebrows. They both were even into the whole feeling/looking young stuff. It drove Naruto crazy. That was just one reason why he hated the teen, the other was because he was dating his crush Sakura Haruano who was standing right next to Lee. Her pink hair was cropped short only reaching half way on her neck. She has bright green eyes, which Naruto noticed first when he first saw her. Naruto had the biggest crush on the girl ever since they first met in 1st grade, but he never tried to go out with the girl. Which is why he is in the dilemma he's in now. Naruto groaned facing back to his sensei when he realized he was finishing up his long speech on the rules.

"Ok class! We are going to have two different games playing, one with guys and one with girls. All the guys I want you on the left and girls on the right."

Everyone groaned, silently shuffling to the designation stated.

"Ok! Now let's put you into groups! I will assign captains and they will choose who's on their teams, deal?" Guy said excitedly.

Naruto groaned and mumbled a yes like the other kids.

"Ok! For Guys lets have...Sasuke and...Shikamaru! And for girls..." Guy walked away to talk to the girls.

Shikamaru mumbled something under his breath as he walked towards the front. Naruto to rubbed his temples, sighing that their teacher was gone. He was loud himself but Guy-sensei really gave him a headache sometimes. He looked over at the two selected team captains as they silently analyzed the group. Naruto watched as the talked quickly to themselves before nodding, Sasuke grinning as they did. Naruto raised an eyebrow and shook his head. Must be nothing.

"Choji." Shikamaru started off before Naruto started to space out.

He never understood why he took this class in the first place. He already had his PE credit, but now that he thought about it Iruka wanted him to have a full day of classes. He hated it but he would rather have the half days his senior year so he wouldn't have to deal with this hell hole anymore.

"Naruto."

The blonde was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard his name. He blinked and looked around confused. "Huh?"

Some of the kids snickered while others chuckled at his remark.

"Naruto your on my team, dobe."

Naruto looked over at the voice inwardly groaning. Why do I have to be on a team with him?

He slowly walked over to Sasuke who was grinning at the blonde. Naruto rolled his eyes and stood behind the Uchiha, puffing out his cheeks as he waited for the other team members to be selected.

Naruto stood in the middle of the court, dribbling the ball. He quickly passed it over to one of his team mates, watching as said person shot the ball into the hoop. They once again made another basket and Naruto grinned as he heard the other team, team puke Naruto nicknamed them because of the yellow vests they wore, curse and groan at their misfortune. Naruto had to admit when both he and Sasuke were on the same team, they were practically invincible. They were the best athletes the school had ever come by, well that's what their principle Tsunade had told him. The blonde pulled his head out of his rambling thoughts and jogged over to where the action was. The yellow team had the ball but was struggling because one of Naruto's team mates, a guy Naruto would never remember the name of, was too quick and blocked every chance the yellow team had at scoring a goal. Naruto jogged over and quickly swiped the ball away as the yellow team was trying to yet again make another basket. Naruto dribbled the ball to the other side, turning his head to make sure that he had a better chance at making a basket without interference. Naruto turned his head to look forward again but was met with a body, causing him and the body to topple to the ground. The blonde groaned and sat up rubbing his head. He realized he was sitting on someone and glanced down. He just so happened to be on top of a certain Uchiha.

"Dobe get off of me!" Sasuke growled, glaring daggers at the blonde.

"Sorry!" Naruto said quickly getting off the other teen.

Once he was up he stuck his hand out, offering to help the Uchiha up. Sasuke only growled and got up without the help, rubbing the back of his head.

"Damn dobe" He mummered before stalking off.

The bell rang to dismiss the students to class and Naruto sighed. Yet another class finished and only two more to suffer through before school ends. He silently walked towards the locker room, glancing as the other teens hurriedly walked to the locker room. When he got into the room, he silently walked over to his locker and pulled out his clothes. He stripped down to his underwear and pulled on his black jeans. He went to grab his shirt but then heard his name. He turned to face the guy who called him, which turned out to be the ever so famous Sai. The teen only stood slightly taller than Naruto and had black hair. It was kind of a bowl cut shape, but not as dramatic as Lee's. Sai has the palest skin Naruto had ever seen, paler than Sasuke's, and that caused Naruto to be a little edgy around Sai. That and the fact that Sai seemed to be obsessed with his package.

"Hello Naruto," Sai said smiling "Nice abs your sporting there...trying to make up for what you don't have below the belt?"

Naruto rolled his eyes and turned back around. Sai also happened to be gay, not that Naruto had a problem with it. It's just that Sai was a little...different. He always wore black skin tight clothing and his shirts never covered his stomach.

"What do you want?" Naruto grumbled as he threw on his orange v-neck, turning to face the dark haired teen once again.

"Oh I was just going to invite you to my party on Friday," Sai said casually "I invited everyone and my parents are out of town."

"Yeah sure I'll come." Naruto said as he stuffed his gym clothes into his locker.

"Cool. See you then." Sai said giving a small wave before walking off leaving Naruto to an empty locker room.

Naruto stretched his arms, grabbing his bag and slowly walking out of the locker room. He silently walked the halls heading towards the cafeteria. His stomach growled and he grinned, walking faster so he could get some food. Once he reached the the cafeteria doors he slowed down his pace.

"Naruto!" The blonde turned to see his friend Kiba running up to him.

"Hey." Naruto said as they both pushed through the doors walking into the loud cafeteria.

"Are you going to Sai's party on Friday?" Kiba asked casually

"Hell yeah! A party is a party and I'm always in for a party!" Naruto replied grinning

"Cool," Kiba said smiling "I'm trying to get Hinata to come but she's not sure if she wants to go."

"Have you asked her out yet?" The blonde asked as they stood in line to get food. Kiba looked at the floor sheepishly.

"No," He said softly "I just don't want to rush into anything."

Naruto playful pushed his friend, causing Kiba to grin at the blonde. "Come on dude! You've been flirting with her for about a year now! Just go and ask her out."

Kiba sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah I know...I'll get around to doing it sometime I promise."

Naruto smiled and pat his friend on the back. They got to the front of the line and ordered their food. Grabbing it, then quickly walked over to their table to dig in. Naruto grinned as he sat down, taking a couple of french fries and stuffing it into his mouth. Kiba sat down next to him, right across from Hinata. The brunette's attention became focused on the girl and Naruto sighed, scanning his blue eyes through his friends to find someone to talk to. Everyone seemed to be talking to someone, which made the blonde feel a little lonely. It reminded him of when he was a kid.

Flashback

A small blonde sat under a tree. He silently watched the kids play on the playground with each other. Some played with each other while others played with their parent. Naruto sighed, pulling his knees to his chest and placed his chin on them. Some kids would look at him, but then continue to play. Naruto never knew exactly why he came here everyday, he just had a gut feeling that something good would happen if he came. Naruto slowly sat up and walked over to a small sandbox that sat at the edge of the playground. He quietly started digging a hole, occasionally glancing up at the kids playing with sad eyes. He felt a presence behind him and turned. There stood a young girl with long pink hair. A white bow sat atop her head which matched her white sundress. She smiled at Naruto, her emerald eyes sparkling. The blonde really liked her smile and blushed slightly.

"Why are you playing alone?" She asked tilting her head slightly.

"Cause no one will come play with me." Naruto replied quietly turning back to his hole.

He heard the crunch of sand as the pink haired girl walked to stand next to him, sitting down in the sand crossed legged.

"Well they are just meanie heads. You seem like you would be fun to play with. Let's be friends!" She said smiling wider at the blonde, Naruto smiled back.

"What's your name?" He asked glancing at her as he continued to shovel out sand with hands.

"Sakura! What's your name?" She said scooting closer to Naruto.

"The name's Naruto, believe it!" He responded sticking out his thumbs grinning. Sakura giggled watching him.

"You're funny," She said

"Can I help you?" She pointed to the whole and looked at the blonde.

Naruto smiled widely and nodded his head. He liked the girl, and he hoped that they would be friends for a long time.

End Flashback

Naruto always loved that memory, to a point. He hated that when he was little, none of the kids played with him. He could never understand why, even to this day, and when he asked his friends they would just responded with an "I don't know." But he loved that his first friend was Sakura. She was always nice to him and had always been there for him, if only he had had the guts to ask her out. Naruto sighed and scratched his head, stuffing more fries into his mouth.

"Hey Naruto!"

The blonde turned to look at his friend Choji. The teen had brown hair that reached just above his shoulders. He was a little over weight and Naruto learned the hard way to never call him fat. Brown eye stared hungrily at Naruto's food and the blonde groaned.

"No Choji, you aren't having any of my food." Naruto stated taking a bite out of his hamburger as Choji gave him puppy eyes.

"Come on Naruto! I'm a growing boy!" Choji said pouting.

Naruto threw a french fry at at him, grinning as the other boy caught it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Troublesome..." Shikamaru mumbled leaning back in his chair.

The teen had long dark brown hair that was always pulled back into a ponytail. The boy's brown eyes were always closed, whether it was because he was sleeping or just wanted his eyes closed Naruto didn't know. Naruto always wondered why Shikamaru still hung out with them, they weren't the quietest kids in the school and well...Shikamaru wasn't the biggest fan of loud noises yet he still listened hard rock music. The blonde shook his head, he would never understand the teen. He took another bite out of his hamburger, enjoying the company of his friends.

Naruto yawned as he walked out of class. He was glad the day was over. He hated school, but he knew he had to go in order to get anywhere in life. He walked down the hall to his locker, opening it up and stuffing his textbooks in. He closed his locker and slightly jumped when he saw Sasuke leaning against the lockers near him.

"What do you want Sasuke?" Naruto asked turning to face the Uchiha.

"Has Ryuu bothered you since I left?" Sasuke asked raising an eyebrow.

Three days ago they decided that nothing was going to happen, so they just decided to go back to how things were before.

"Nope nothing yet." Naruto said slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

Sasuke nodded his head "Good."

Why would the bastard be worried about me? The two teens started to walk towards the school doors, walking silently.

"So umm," Naruto started scratching his head "Why are you so worried about if Ryuu did anything to me or not?"

Sasuke shrugged, pushing open the doors and stepping outside. Naruto puffed out his cheeks realizing that was going to be Sasuke's only response the question. He turned to start walking towards his house, glancing up at the sky.

"Hey Naruto!" He turned and looked at Sasuke who was standing by his car. "Do you want me to drive you home?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto stood for a moment, contemplating if he should or not, then decided why not? He walked over to Sasuke's car opening up the door.

Why is he being so friendly? Naruto furrowed his eyebrows and the two teens slid in the car, both throwing their bags in the back seat. The drove in silence, Naruto saw Sasuke give him quick glances. What the hell is going on with the Uchiha? The car stopped at a red light and Naruto watched the cars drive by. He hated the silence but why hasn't he said anything himself? Naruto fidgeted in his seat and the car drove forward. The blonde looked out the passenger window. He saw a white truck driving, and it didn't seem like it was going to stop at the intersection.

"Uhh Sasuke?" He said tapping the Uchiha on his shoulder.

"Hn?"

"There's a car and I don't th-"

He was caught off from his sentence as the trunk slammed into the car. Naruto's mind went blank and everything went dark.
