Chapter 3
A/N: Sorry for the late update. I barely found my flash drive yesterday where I had my stories filed. Hope you like the chapter :)
During the ceremony, Sasuke was thinking about the blonde who sat behind him who was screaming at the principle. While they were screaming at each other, Sasuke was surprised to see how much air their lung capacity was. How can someone scream for a full ten minutes? Other students were wondering the same thing, listening to their argument.
From what Sasuke had observed he came to a few conclusions about Naruto. He was brash, loud, unmannered, and had little respect to the principle which was confirmed when he had called her a hag. The screaming match was proof that he was loud and the way he entered the gym you could easily see he was confident in himself and strolled into the gym as if interrupting the principles speech ( although Sasuke couldn't really call that a speech) and the opening ceremony was nothing.
Sasuke noticed the whispers the students were saying to each other once Naruto entered. Sasuke had no idea what some of them mean ( even if he will never admit it). He heard some of them saying " he's back", " I thought he was expelled". He might not have been paying his whole attention to Naruto and Tsunade's screaming match, but he did here Tsunade say at one point about Naruto being permanently expelled.
So, he attended this school before. It must have been before I arrived because the seniors and some sophomores seemed to recognize him, but the freshman are clueless as to who he is. Hmmm, Sasuke had heard rumors before of a person even more popular than he was, but dismissed it instantly. Who can be popular than an Uchiha?
He vaguely realized Tsunade listing the rules of the school. Some of them made sense to him such as fighting and the school being off limit after classes. Of course, Sasuke was going to break the rules. Nobody was going to tell him what to do. Especially not a person who is constantly drunk. During her job at a high school no less. Who said teachers were suppose to be good role models?
Whoever said that didn't attend Konoha Leaf High School, because if they did, they would take back what they had said immediately after meeting the teachers for a day.
All in all, Sasuke found one word to describe Naruto. He was a dobe. A complete and utter dobe.
After Sasuke came to that conclusion he stopped thinking about the loser. He's not worth my time. Even if he's time was being used by sitting in the gym and semi-paying attention to what the principle was saying.
Once the ceremony was finished, he waited until most of the students had left, so he wouldn't have to bump into any one or be attacked by his rabid fan girls.
Sasuke shuddered at this thought. Those girls were worst than a pack of foaming wolves who were starving. Sometimes he wondered if it was true because he would see a glint to their eyes that made him want to run for his life. They would do anything to get something from him.
Once, a group of them had tried to ambush him while in the restroom. They couldn't get near him though because if they did Sasuke would beat the crap out of them. He didn't care if they were girls. No one tries to attack him without receiving a punch to the face. But that wasn't the scariest part.
The scariest part was because he was in the men's restroom obviously. In a city. 120 miles away from Konoha. in a building where only the Uchiha family or highly classified employees could enter and there were heavely armed bodyguards at every corner. Sasuke had no idea how they had entered and he didn't want to know. After that incident, he became more paranoid and thought someone was out to get him every time he heard a girlish giggle near him.
Anyways... Sasuke was walking towards the gym's door to enter the courtyard when he felt someone bump into him from behind. Sasuke covered his stumble from the person quickly and turned around to meet the person who had bumped into him.
Internally, Sasuke groaned. He suspected it to be a fan girl who purposely bumped in to him to gain his attention and latch onto him like a leech. If it was a guy, then he would probably be a fan boy or one of the ones who hated/scared of him.
To Sasuke's surprise it was neither of these. It was Uzumaki Naruto who Sasuke had dubbed as dobe. Sasuke noticed the various emotions that the dobe was feeling. First was anger because when he had bumped into the Uchiha he had stumbled back and almost fell to the floor. Naruto was going to scream something at the person, but then he saw who he had bumped into. Surprise flash through Naruto's eyes and he closed his mouth before he could say anything.
Sasuke smirked at this. It seemed as if the dobe knew exactly who he was dealing with.
" Watch where you going dobe," Saske jeered.
At this Naruto grew agitated. He was going to start shouting at the raven, but then he thought of something better. Naruto was prepared to curse the guy out who nearly made him fall to the floor, but then he saw who it was.
Unlike the Uchiha thought, Naruto knew exactly who was dealing with. He was dealing with Uchiha Sasuke. The Uchiha family was a wealthy family with companies and industries all over the world and in many fields. About six years thought there was a horrifying fire in the estate of the Uchiha where the whole family resided. The only ones to survive the fire was Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke's older brother. a cousin of theirs, and Sasuke himself.
Even with his families member's death, Itachi became the president of the Uchiha organization and brought the company to lager heights. Sasuke had become the Vice-President once he turned thirteen. Most thought this a very early age to be in the business, but Sasuke had been groomed by his parents and relatives to being in charge of the company as the vice-president since he was child.
Naruto knew all this and more. He didn't know the surviving Uchiha's personally except for their cousin. Naruto decided not to scream at Sasuke because he knew that the bastard was just waiting for him to shout insults at him. Normally, he would have done just that, not caring what the other person thought, but he decided to take a different approach.
Sasuke had suspected the blond to shout profanities at him, but his eyes widened when the course of action the dobe did next.
" I am sorry for bumping into you. I must not have been looking as where I was going," Naruto responded with a slight bow . The scratching the back of his head sheepishly with a smile on his face.
Sasuke schooled his face to be a blank mask. Maybe his impression of the blond was wrong. No. He is clearly a loud idiot from what I saw during the assembly. Then... Why is he acting calm and soft spoken. He's playing at something here. Sasuke stared warily at Naruto. Naruto was staring at Sasuke as well. They were both assessing the other.
After while Sasuke snorted and told the blond " Obviously."
The blond bristled at this, but continued with his act and thought of an idea. A smirk formed on Naruto's lips and he walked closer to Sasuke. He was only a foot away from Sasuke and he leaned in. Their faces only a few centimeters away from each other.
Throughout this, Sasuke didn't move. He stared at Naruto's face. Strands of blond hair tickling his face. They were same height, but Naruto leaned down, so it seemed as if he was shorter than Sasuke. Sasuke was able to slightly smell a fruitish scent from Naruto. Oranges. Sasuke thought absently. Naruto's clear blue eyes staring into his own.
He noticed the marks on Naruto's cheeks. How did he get them? Now, that he had a closer look at his face, they looked more like scars than birthmarks like he had speculated them as. They were partially faint, but still visible to everyone. Sasuke wondered if was to touch them would they be smooth or rough.
Usually, Sasuke would stop any one from approaching his personal space. If they were a few feet away from him, he would be wary and not allow them to stand any closer to him. Sasuke appreciated his personal space very much. It was strange from him to allow Naruto to be this near him.
Their eyes locked together for a few moments, before Naruto's sky blue eyes lowered themselves resting on Sasuke's pale pink lips. Sasuke watched Naruto's every movement. He couldn't step back even if he wanted to. There was a strange sense of anticipation welling inside of Sasuke.
Naruto moved closer to him. There breathes mingled with each other. Sasuke could feel the warmth breath from Naruto's on his lips which created a tingling sensation to his lips. Sasuke's own eyes had wondered towards the blond's own lips.
Their lips were only a few centimeters apart. If one of them were to an inch forward, their lips would be touching.
Sasuke was tired of waiting for the Uzumaki to make the move, so he made it instead. But alas, it was not meant to be.
" Sasuke!" a voice screamed behind them. Immediately they separated from each other. When they looked behind them, it was Sakura who was running towards them. The rest of the group was trudging behind her at a slower pace.
If Sakura hadn't scream then ... Sasuke's eyes widened. I would have ... He trailed of, but them an image of what might have happened entered his mind. If one was close to the Uchiha, you would have been able to see a smidge of pink on his cheeks.
Naruto may have been at least five feet away from the raven, but he had incredible eyesight and could the tiniest of detail. Besides, he was waiting to see what his reaction would be. He received the reaction he wanted.
A foxy grin slipped onto Naruto's face. He had been able to knock the cocky Uchiha off of his high pedestal. Naruto met various people like the Uchiha and knew what to do to make them lost that snobbish attitude.
Although, his own reaction Naruto wasn't expecting. At first Naruto knew what he going to do. His objective was to make the Uchiha flustered. From what he noticed the Uchiha liked his personal space. So, when nothing happened when he was only a foot close, he was disappointed, but then thought of something more and leaned.
He didn't know if Sasuke was straight, bi, or gay, but being this near him would get to him right? When their eyes had locked, Naruto couldn't look away from the obsidian eyes staring at him. Then his eyes flickered to his lips. Naruto felt Sasuke looking at his own lips as well and could feel his cool breath.
Naruto wanted to move in closer and let their lips finally meet, but held back. He still held in mind his objective of the Uchiha. He wasn't going to make the first move. So, he held back. It took longer than he expected for the Uchiha to fold. He had seen a look in the raven's eyes and knew that he had one.
At that time he could have pulled away. Tell off the Uchiha afterwards. Either make him agitated enough to lose his cool or flustered enough for him to walk away. The Naruto could leave home free and satisfied of his accomplishment. But Naruto stayed out. He didn't move. He stayed rooted to the spot an waited for Sasuke's lips to meet his.
It never came
That freaking banshee! Couldn't she have waited just one more minute! Just one! Ohhhh... She's gonna get it. Pink hair huh. What about the color of green vomit. Wouldn't that be better?
Naruto started ranting in his mind. Then he looked at Sasuke's face. Sasuke had tried to place blank mask of difference, but Naruto saw right through it. He noticed the slight pink to the raven's cheeks.
Naruto grinned at this. Mission Complete!
While both of them were in there own worlds, the rest of Sasuke's group reentered the gym. Sakura entered first, followed by Ino, Tenten, Neji, Hinata, and Shino.
Sakura had a grip on Sasuke's right arm while glaring at Naruto who was standing in front of them hands in pockets and looking from face to face lazily. None of them had seen how close the pair was or how they had quickly separated. Although they were suspicious of Naruto and were curious as to why the Uchiha had stopped
They knew that the Uchiha thought of every one beneath him and wouldn't stop for any one. Especially a new kid. Ino looked from Naruto to Sasuke a knowing glint in her eyes. While the rest stopped close to Sasuke.
' What were you doing with Sasuke-kun?" screeched Sakura. She was practically screaming in to Sasuke's ear. Sasuke and Naruto both winced at the volume of her voice. Sasuke because he was right next to her and Naruto because he also had a sharp sense of hearing.
Naruto ignore her question and look to the group at Sasuke's side. He noticed the two Hyugas there and the Aburame. He couldn't place the girl with the buns, but thought she was at the same status as being from a wealthy family.
Then he saw Ino. He grinned widely at her and approached her. He raised his hand in greeting.
" Yo. Long time no see eh?" Naruto told her with a huge grin on his face.
Ino smiled at him too, but then that smile turned malicious and before Naruto could blink he had an over sized bump on his head.
" That's all you have to say for yourself. I haven't seen you for half a year and all you have to say for yourself is " yo"! " screamed Ino at him, her face turning red.
Naruto was still recovering from her hit. He shook his head to recover himself and his thought.
" I'm sooo sorry ok. I was out of town. I barely came back last yesterday. I couldn't even get a good night sleep because we arrived so late." explained Naruto while scratching his head. Ino shook her head and stared at Naruro.
" Well anyways... there's only two minutes until classes start and I don't wanna be late or I'll get detention with a lunatic," Naruto said.
He started walking to the exit. Without stopping in his stride, he neared Sasuke an whispered in his ear " Bye, Teme."
With that Naruto left the group in the gym with more questions than they had before.
