CHAPTER 4
DOBE VS TEME
When Naruto had arrived in class everyone was already seated and doing a lesson on self-esteem. 'Pfft, self-esteem my ass' Naruto thought as he walked over to the desk where the teacher was sitting and chewing on a toothpick.
When he walked over the teacher seemed kinda pissed that Naruto was late. Naruto muttered an apology before sitting at the empty seat at the back. You could tell this seat was the most rejected out of the bunch, with drawings all over it and names carved into the wood, it also had chewing gum on the bottom. Too bad Naruto found the last part out the hard way.
It was also too bad the teacher didn't even want to listen to his excuse, saying something like, "Whatever don't do it again." Why did almost every teacher in this school seem like a complete asshole? What did he do to deserve this? Had he offended anybody in a past life or something? He didn't remember. Well, of course he wouldn't! It wasn't his life; it was a past life, big difference.
The rest of the lesson was a blur for Naruto and soon found himself being nudged by Shikamaru. "Come on, class is over. Time for lunch," he said it in such a way that made lunch sound like it was boring, when really it wasn't if you had something to do.
Naruto numbly followed Shikamaru out the door and headed for his own locker, 'I'll just put my books in my locker, go get Gaara and we'll sit with the guys for lunch, after I have a talk with Gaara of course.'
When Naruto arrived at his locker he saw that Gaara was already there, waiting for him, apparently. How convenient. When Naruto walked up to him he heard Gaara yelp in surprise, Naruto was pretty surprised himself, seeing Gaara get scared so easily, when usually the goriest horror movie wouldn't even make him flinch. Naruto suspected him of sleeping with his eyes open, that was until he heard Gaara laugh at someone getting their head blown off or their heart ripped out.
Naruto asked Gaara worriedly, "Gaara, are you ok? You seem a bit edgy for some reason," he suddenly came to a realization, "were you bullied or cornered by someone?" He saw Gaara's face and he knew he was right. "Who was it?" Gaara shook his head in reply.
"Gaara, if you don't tell me right now, I'll find out for myself."
"Fine, I can't remember his name anyway. He has black/blue hair shaped like a duck's ass and a superiority complex."
"Uchiha, Sasuke. M.C.K.A.B.M. Sasgay or SasUKE"
"Seriously, Naruto? That's all you could come up with? And what the hell is 'M.C.K.A.B.M.?'" Yep, Gaara was back to his old self, an arrogant bastard.
"It means, 'Most Commonly Known as by me'. I had to say that because he's got," Naruto shuddered, "fan girls." This time both of the boys shuddered. They did not want to get on their bad side; they'd be beaten to a pulp because of Gaara's policy of 'not hitting girls', which also means 'getting beaten up by girls and not fighting back'. Personally, Naruto hated this rule, who wouldn't? It was considered insulting to the girls and painful to the unlucky guys afterwards.
"Anyway, we'll deal with Uchiha later. First we've got to talk, follow me." Naruto lead the way to the fire escape doors, at the very back-end of the building. He pushed open the doors and breathed a sigh of relief. The nice breeze outside was almost enough to make him forget about all his troubles and worries. He almost forgot Kakashi was a hunter and that Tsunade already knew about what happened to Kakashi and cleaned up the mess for Naruto, who she knew, was the culprit. For his sake she feigned ignorance, but knew Naruto was a werewolf at the same time. 'Smart woman', Naruto thought for a moment before realizing something. Tsunade wasn't on his or Kakashi's side because of one reason, it was the only logical explanation for this.
Tsunade was a 'Land Nymph'; the realization shocked him into a stunned silence. Then Naruto remembered being here with Gaara and shook himself out of it before turning to his best friend.
"What did you need to talk to me about, Naruto?" Gaara asked, clearly uncomfortable being out in the schoolyard, behind the school where nobody could reach them. Gaara didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, good they wouldn't be overheard, bad if they got into some sort of trouble.
"Ok, well you see-," Naruto was interrupted by a loud clashing noise, coming from inside the school doors.
After hearing it Naruto tapped into his wolf senses, only Naruto could tap into his senses in human form. His and Naruto's clan had said they'd never seen anything like it. It was times like these that Gaara was grateful for Naruto's gift; usually it got them into trouble.
You see, there were two types of werewolves in this crappy world of ours. There were the purebred werewolves that were only able to transform in the light of a full moon, and there were the phasers, the mongrel half-breeds as the council called them. Phasers had the ability to change whenever they please, that made the Non-phaser types envious that they could not do the same. Therefore, phasers were considered an abomination to the entire supernatural world; they were even lower than the vampires that had gone crazy with their lust for blood, and that was low. Gaara remembered one of the many scenarios Naruto had gotten them into and chuckled slightly at the memory.
-Flashback-
Naruto and Gaara were sent by the council to check an old abandoned house on the end of 'Black Hole Lane'; he had to admit the name suited the place perfectly. The place was a dump, Gaara decided. It was dark and gloomy, not a light colour in sight, just black and grey.
Naruto approached the house at the very end of the street, 'That must be it' Gaara thought as he followed after Naruto, who was tapping into his wolf senses already. Gaara was about to ask if he should phase when Naruto hushed him, "Shh... do you hear that?" Naruto whispered, Gaara listened carefully and heard nothing.
"Nope, I don't hear anything." He replied whispering, he wondered what Naruto could have possibly heard when Naruto's eyes widened in alarm.
"JUMP!" Naruto yelled as he grabbed Gaara by his collar and jumped, still with Gaara in his arms behind a dumpster truck that had been abandoned some time ago. Gaara was wondering what Naruto was talking about until he heard the explosion. He felt the force of it from behind the garbage truck, and the truck was huge. He looked over at Naruto and felt a sense of relief wash over him, 'Good, he's alright. Thank God he didn't get caught in the explosion; even his rapid healing abilities wouldn't have stopped this one'.
When he was sure they were safe, Naruto stood up and lent Gaara a hand. "Are you alright, Gaara?" he asked worriedly, hoping his friend hadn't been hit by any pieces of the house like he would have been if Naruto hadn't pulled them out of the way just in time.
"I'm fine, what exactly did you hear?" Gaara asked, genuinely interested in what had set the blonde off.
"I heard a ticking noise and then suddenly it went 'BEEP!' and I thought, 'That didn't sound good.' So I pulled you around the truck. I knew it wouldn't fall over and crush us because this truck is made out of metal and bloody hell it's a big truck!"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it so shut up and tell me, who you think would do this?" Gaara was pretty sure he already knew the answer but chose to ask Naruto of his opinion.
"Isn't it pretty obvious, of course the council did it, probably trying to get rid of 'something it doesn't need,' the old bastards don't even realize who their messing with, do they?" Naruto's rant went out for a couple more minutes before he finally calmed down enough to apologize to Gaara for taking it out on him. Gaara accepted the apology and comforted Naruto in saying, "I'd rather you yell at me than my dad, usually all he wants to do is rip my throat out. In conclusion, you're better company."
"Thanks, Gaara."
"Yeah, you're welcome, I guess." Gaara hesitated for a moment before smiling awkwardly at Naruto. But Naruto didn't care that Gaara's smile was awkward, just as long it was a sort of smile.
"Come on, we better get going. Don't want the council to catch you and blame you for the damage, because no doubt I'll be involved as well." Gaara asked Naruto if he could stay in the lounge room in Naruto's apartment and Naruto said, "Sure,"
-End Flashback-
"So Sasgay, nice to see you and your pals came to give Gaara and me a visit. How kind of you to think of us so fondly," Naruto growled, his tone not suiting his words at all.
To Gaara's surprise, Sasuke Uchiha stepped out of the shadows almost willingly, with seven people in tow. There were two redheads, two carrot tops, one with silver hair, one with white hair, one brunette and including Sasuke, one black haired guy. Altogether they had eight, quadrupling the number of people in Naruto and Gaara's two man team.
"So the almighty, Sasuke Uchiha is a coward, huh?" Naruto teased, Sasuke's eyes somehow got even darker than they were before, if that was even possible. "Gaara, get out of here now," Naruto commanded his friend, knowing the Uchiha was as human as he was, not much.
"No, Naruto! I can't leave, then the odds would definitely be in their favour, and I can't allow that."
"Gaara, have you ever seen a vampire up close?" Naruto asked him.
"No I haven't, why?" Gaara replied.
"You're standing right in front of a group of them." Naruto said stonily, every few seconds taking his eyes off the group to assess Gaara's reaction to the news.
"Naruto how did you know? Also, why didn't you tell me before?" Gaara asked him, angrily.
"Yes, Naruto," Sasuke started, "how did you, of all people know?" Sasuke visibly stiffened, "You're not a hunter are you?" he asked threateningly.
Naruto snorted before saying, "Do I look like a hunter to you?"
"No, not even close."
"Exactly, even though I shouldn't warn you but Kakashi's a hunter."
"How do you know?"
"He told me himself while trying to cut me in half with a silver blade."
"You're a werewolf? What species?"
"Phaser, not one of those purebred assholes, don't worry," Naruto grinned, "None of the half-breeds are going to eat you for dinner, at least not tonight." Naruto licked his lips, just to stir the vampire up. It worked like a charm. Sasuke visibly twitched in annoyance before answering with a retort, "And what makes you think you can beat one of the most accomplished groups of vampires around?"
"Because I am part of the most accomplished werewolf pack around. My so-called pack consists of only me and Gaara. You want to guess how many vampires we've destroyed alone?"
"Like I would care about that, fight me so I can test your strength." Sasuke challenged Naruto, and knowing Naruto he just couldn't resist the temptation of beating the teme at his own game.
"So, are there any rules, guidelines and whatnot?"
"Nope," was Sasuke's reply before lifting his hand and putting it on his neck where there was a tattoo, a seal, for his vampiric power. That's why Naruto couldn't detect it before, because of that seal.
Naruto went up to Gaara before he phased and asked, "Watch out for anyone, ok? Just in case someone or something seems to come across this area," Gaara nodded in understanding.
"Do you want me to tell Uchiha to tell his team to watch the perimeter as well?" Gaara asked Naruto, confident he would say yes.
"Yes, but I need to speak to him first."
Naruto walked up to Sasuke who was trying to remember the password for his seal, yes, he had a password for one of the most advanced seals ever produced by his private teacher, Orochimaru.
"Sasgay, we should take this somewhere else. Just in case an outsider gets hurt during the battle," Naruto sounded almost... intelligent, not like he'd been before.
"I hate to admit it dobe but you're right." Sasgay admitted grumpily, wondering why he hadn't thought of that first. He was the leader of his clan! He should be making those decisions dammit!
Naruto scoffed, "Of course I'm right, I am a genius after all."
It was Sasgays turn to scoff, "Yeah right, think what you will but you'll always be a dobe to me, genius or not."
"Come on; let us not wait for the cabbages to grow!" One of Sasgays minions called out, the fat guy with orange hair yelled out. Both Sasgay and Naruto turned to look at him with irritation.
"Um, don't you mean, 'let's not wait for the grass to grow? Not cabbages." Gaara said in a smartass fashion, it was in his DNA not only to be an arrogant bastard, but to also be a tremendous smartass.
"S-shut up! I knew that!" Jirobo stuttered, now embarrassed at the mistake he made. Everyone in Sasgay's group knew Jirobo was slow in catching on in the modern world. They all were over 200 years old after all.
"Sure you did," muttered Gaara, Jirobo still heard him though.
"You little brat! How dare you insult me in such a way! I shall now make you understand that you should always respect your elders!" With that Jirobo charged at Gaara who just phased into a wolf with red fur, the colour of blood, and green eyes, the colour of the forest. Before they could start to fight though Naruto had decided to take action.
"Both of you calm down! This is not the place to be fighting! Gaara, stand down! He's not worth it! Sasuke, control you subordinate!" Naruto used his alpha voice and it had worked, Gaara was now trembling at the force of his leaders KI, it was suffocating, even to Sasgay and his comrades. Sasgay was the most shocked; if Naruto had said his name properly then he must be serious.
"Jirobo, stand down. The emo isn't worth it." Sasgay's group sniggered.
"Says you SasUKE," Naruto shot back. He wasn't going to let the 'ultimate emo' insult Gaara.
One of the redheads laughed and Sasgay glared at her. Oblivious to her leaders glare, she continued, "Ha ha! Good one, blonde!"
Naruto smiled and said, "Well at least someone likes my sense of humor." He grinned at the redhead and asked, "What's your name?"
"Tayuya, the one and only, and don't you forget it bitch!"
Naruto just grinned even wider, "Got a bit of a potty mouth there haven't you?"
"Yeah, she doesn't stop." Jirobo mumbled and Tayuya heard.
"No I don't fatass, and don't you forget it! YEAH!" everyone except Naruto sweatdropped, he just laughed at her, in a friendly way of course.
"I don't think we can, Tayuya. You have such a poor vocabulary, that's why you resort to using such fowl words all the time." Jirobo looked proud of himself until Tayuya launched herself at him in a fit of rage. He was shocked and stumbled back before falling flat on his ass. Tayuya, seeming to be proud of her accomplishment, grinned at Jirobo threateningly. He just huffed and got up off the ground, looking in Sasgays direction to see what his master (that's what he basically was) wanted them to do now.
"I've thought of the perfect place," Sasgay said, his gaze centred on the blond man in front of him, "There's this forest not far from here, not many people go there. It's called the forest of death. We won't be able to injure anybody there." Sasgay looked smug; Naruto just ignored him and agreed.
"Well...what are we waiting for then? Let's go!" Naruto sprinted off in the direction he could smell dense forest, Gaara following closely behind in his transformed wolf form.
Shrugging, the rest took off after Naruto, letting him lead the way.
As soon as Sasgay got there Naruto was patiently waiting for him in his wolf form. Naruto had glistening golden blond fur with a hint of red in his coat. His eyes were the same blue except a bit darker. All in all, he looked like the perfect alpha.
Both Sasgay and Naruto settled into their fighting stances, Naruto in the one his instructors had taught him, Sasgay the one known by his coven, the Uchiha's.
Naruto charged at Sasgay and dodged, Naruto was expecting this to happen and latched onto the vampire's arm, earning a pain filled scream from him. Sasgay looked mad, really mad. 'Oh oh,' Naruto thought, 'I'm in deep shit.'
It was Sasgay's turn to fight back. He, as a vampire, had extraordinary strength that almost surpassed a trolls. He swung at Naruto and got him cleanly in the jaw. Naruto whimpered a bit but didn't go down, he stood up tall and let out an ear splitting howl that echoed throughout the night. All the vampires and even Gaara had to cover his ears to stop from being deafened.
'This can only mean one thing,' Gaara thought, 'he going to transform even further! This is seriously messed up, why now?'
Gaara only knew one thing, the Uchiha was as good as dead now.
GUIDE/HELP: dobe = deadlast, last in class, basically stupid and unintelligent.
teme = bastard, I'm guessing you already know what this means.
land nymph = if you don't know, search on internet!
KI = Killing Intent
I'm referring to Sasuke as 'Sasgay' because that's how Naruto sees him. Until Sasgay gains Naruto's respect, Naruto will continue to call Sasuke 'Sasgay' understand? My fic, butt out (in the judging section saying, "put this in!" and, "don't do this it'll amke it stupid!" and I'm like, "SHUT THE HELL UP ASSHOLES! I'LL DO WHAT I WANT! But, thanks for reviewing! ^^").
In other words, if you're going to review, make it a worthwhile comment. Don't put stuff like, "YOU SUCK!" on there 'cuz I don't give a shit, ok? Good. ^^
