Thanks to everyone who reviewed!!

Adrian was happy. Gaara made his mood better then it was. Of course, the raven haired boy was still testy but since his out bursts earlier in the week he had no problem with anyone. He knew that wouldn't last though. There was bound to be one person who couldn't resist messing with him. And Adrian knew just who that person would be.

Adrian's Friday so far had been normal. He even smiled at Gaara when they passed. No one had bothered him and he was confident that he would get through the day without a problem. But, as always, he was wrong. He was going through his locker when he was approached. He hated having a bottom locker...

His foot was kicked and he tried to ignore the person behind him. He already knew who it was. He continued to get his books. The person behind him growled and kicked his foot again.

"Must you always ignore me?" Kankuro said with a smirk. "I heard you snapped at Sakon earlier this week." For a moment, Adrian felt a rush of fear flow through his small body. He shook it off and got to his feet, slamming his locker shut. "I also noticed your friends with my brother now."

Adrian turned to face him, putting his bag over his shoulder. He eyed the bigger boy suspiciously. What was he getting at?

"Gaara doesn't make friends with just anyone. Naruto forced his way into Gaara's life but you?" Kankuro eyed him, disgusted. "You must be a fag too."

Adrian's entire being froze for a total of 5 seconds. He didn't even realize what the boy before him had said. Just the way he said it made his blood run cold. He did not like the way this was going. Wait... That meant Kankuro knew about his brother. He hadn't spilled it? Of course not. He was terrified of Gaara. And yet here he was messing with on of his friends. Did this boy have a death wish?

"Go fuck yourself." Adrian hissed darkly.

Kankuro stared at him a moment, surprised before a big smirk mad its way to his face. "So I'm right? I always knew you were a freak. But gay? Ha. Makes more sense than I though."

Adrian clenched his fists at his side. This boy was starting to piss him off. "Leave me alone."

Kankuro's eyes flashed with something and before Adrian knew it he was pushed up against the lockers, a bigger body pressed against it. He felt that rush of fear once again as Kankuro's brown eyes glared into his. "I always thought you just thought you were better than everyone else. But no. You're just a fag. Gaara must feel sorry for you."

Adrian tried to calm his breathing. He did not like Kankuro this close to him. Not at all. Adrian glances around at the other students. They're just acting like nothing's going on. He was to frozen to speak, let alone do anything. But something Kankuro said in his ear made his body react. He brought his knee up, unexpectedly, and shoved it as hard as he could into Kankuro's groin.

Kankuro yelped, moved away, and fell to his knees on the floor, holding his groin. The other students in the hallway heard Kankuro's yelp and turned their attention to them, curious. Adrian glared down at Kankuro.

"I would never do such a thing with a disgusting creature such as you." Adrian snarled at the hurt boy beneath him. Kankuro looked up and returned his glare but was still in too much pain to do anything. Luckily for Kankuro his friends were close by.

Three bigger boys surrounded Adrian and the boy suddenly realized what he just did. He backed up against the lockers, glancing from each boy. They start to approach him, thinking he's too scared to do anything. But everyone always seemed to underestimate Adrian.

Within 10 seconds two of the boys were on the ground like Kankuro, clutching their groins in pain. But before Adrian could get to the third one he was pushed back into the locker and something hard hit is face.

"Hey! Get off him!" A teacher yelled, pulling the third boy of Adrian.

Adrian shook his head, rubbing the side of it. He wasn't exactly sure what just happened. The brunette teacher threw the boy to another teacher and observed the situation. Seeing the three boys holding their groins and seeing Adrian holding his head he assumed the situation.

Mr. Iruka stepped in front of Adrian and pulled the boys hands away form his head. Adrian avoided the man's eyes. Iruka sighed and helped Adrian stand up straight. Then he turned to the other teacher. "Take care of them ok? I'm taking Adrian to the nurse."

The teacher nodded and both Iruka and Adrian walked away. Adrian held the side of his head. It was hurting. Bad. He had a huge migraine now because of that idiot. Iruka took the boy to the nurse who gave Adrian some ice and Tylenol for his headache. According to her, a black eye would start forming soon.

He mentally cursed the boy as Iruka took him to the Principal's office. Seeing the sign on the door he realized how much trouble he was actually in. Now he cursed himself for not having better control over himself. Iruka left him in the lobby as he went to the Principal's office.

"Adrian!" He winced at the loud voice. "You're ok." He looked up to see Naruto walking toward him. "How bad is it?" He asked looking over the eye Adrian was holding an ice pack over.

Adrian lowered the pack revealing an already bruising eye. "Black eye..."

Naruto hissed in sympathy. "That sucks. But you stood up for yourself!" Adrian titled his head slightly at the blonde. Naruto just grinned at him. "I saw most of everything so I told the principal what I saw. It was self-defense." He shrugged. Adrian blinked in surprised before nodding. "Besides, it's not like you really hit them or anything. A groin kick is a good way of self defense."

"Thanks..."

Naruto blinked in surprise before grinning. "Anytime! You're friends with Gaara now so you should be my friend too!"

Crap he knew... Adrian sighed. "Possibly."

Naruto bounced lightly. "That's better than a no!"

"Adrian." Iruka called to him. "Come on."

He nodded at the man before giving a smile to Naruto and going into the Principal's office. Iruka closed the door behind him, the brunette teacher staying outside. Adrian froze when he noticed his parents sitting in front of the desk.

"Oh Adrian!" His mother jumped up and ran over to him. "What did that boy do to- Ah!" She gasped, looking over his eye. "He hit you!" She continued to fuse over his eyes until her husband came over.

"Hunny, He's fine. Let's sit down." He pulled her away from their son back to their seats. Adrian gave his father a grateful smile. He moved over to them and sat down between them, facing the principal.

"Well, Adrian." Mr. Steel began. "What exactly happened?"

Adrian glanced between his parents before sighing and looking at the principal. "Kankuro started messing with me. I told him to leave me alone and then he pushed me against the lockers. I was really uncomfortable about the whole thing and the only thing I could think of was to kick his groin." He shrugged. "And then his friends cornered me and I did the same. But the other boy hit me before I could do anything." He lowered the ice pack from his eye and showed the principal.

Mr. Steel nodded and placed his hands on the desk in front of him, leaning forward. "Naruto Uzumaki told me Kankuro's always harassed you."

"He has... But he's never touched me like that before." Adrian shifted, feeling uncomfortable.

Mr. Steel eyed the student, knowing there was more than what he was telling. But he decided not to press the issue. "I understand that this was self defense, but unfortunately I will still have to suspend you."

"What?" His mother almost screeched. Adrian and his father winced. "Why in the world would you?!" She jumped to her feet. "My son was emotionally and physically assaulted and he gets suspended?! What kind of school is this?!"

"I assure you, Mrs. Allasten, the other boys are being suspended as well."

"They damn sure better be! But why is he being suspended?" She pointed at her son who was staring at the floor. "He was being assaulted! What did you expect him to do? Just sit there and take it? Of course he was going to do something!"

"I'm sorry, but he was the one to hit first."

"The bastard wanted me to..." Adrian hissed, trailing off. The three adults turned their attention to him.

"He wanted you to?" Mr. Steel pressed.

Adrian shook his head, not wanting to repeat it. Edward placed a hand over his son's causing the boy to look up. He nodded at him before Adrian leaned up and whispered something in his father's ears. Edward's face turned red and his eyes narrowed. The man got up, walked over to the principal and whispered into his ear what his son had told him. Claire watched this confused as she sat back down. She looked at her son but he only shook his head. She nodded, thinking they would tell her later.

Mr. Steel's face became quite red as well. Edward returned to his seat and the principal cleared his throat. "I see... Well then... I understand exactly why you did what you did Adrian." He shook his head. "But unfortunately, I will still have to suspend you."

"What?" His father asked, angry.

"I'm sorry... I would rather not. But I have to. He sit hit someone. But I will do this. Considering it was self defense and..." He bit his lip before continuing. "It will only be for 5 days starting Monday and he will be able to make up his missed work."

Mr. and Mrs. Allasten glanced at each other before nodding. "We understand."

"I'll have Naruto bring you your work everyday after school. You both have most of the same classes and since you're friends I figured he would be best."

His parents blinked and looked at their son. Adrian just nodded, pressing the ice pack harder against his eye. He could deal with Naruto. The blonde did stand up for him in his own way. After his parents signed some papers they left, getting Adrian's things.

All the way home his parents fussed over him. Well, mainly his mother. He had to tell her atleast 20 times that he was fine. His father finally intervened and told her to back off. With a sigh she accepted her son was going to ok. They decided to give him his space. They were just happy he was actually talking to them again.

Ah, yes. I've had a black eye before. For the same reason as little Adrian there. -Sigh- High School sucked... Anyway! I wonder how Kiba's going to take seeing his wittle crush with a black eye. And if you're wondering what Kankuro said to Adrian... you won't find out. Cause I really don't want to type it. Just use your imagination. Let's just say it was sexual and wrong.

Next part! Kiba sees Adrian's eye and some nice fluff. And Adrian learns the truth! Haha what truth would that be? Review to find out!

Please review!!

Thanks!
