Kiko- Here's chapter 3. I liked writing this chapter alot.

Disclaimer- Nope... still don't own Naruto... But you know if I did Sasuke and Naruto would be together. :3

::AHSS::Senior Year::

::Chapter Three::

::Low Fidelity::

::Naruto's POV::

The following Monday at school came as quite a shocker. Turns out we got three new transfer students. First there was a boy that resembled Sasuke, named Sai. Then another white-haired boy, Suigetsu. And finally, the girl... Karin. Yep. Karin transferred to Gakuen. Perfect...

Of course she just has to have first period with Sasuke and I too, so she could piss me off first thing in the morning.

"Sasuke-kun! I had no clue you went to Gakuen! What a nice surprise!" she exclaimed, clinging to his arm.

Yeah right. After she met us at the restaurant, she probably decided to stalk Sasuke and called god knows who to get his student information. I wouldn't put it past her. And I barely even knew this chick. Must have been the crazy red hair that freaked me out.

...Or I dunno, the fact that she was constantly hitting on my boyfriend?

"Hey Karin." Sasuke greeted with a smile.

Ugh... Could he not see how evil she was? Honestly...

I cleared my throat to grab his attention. He glanced at me, seeing the annoyance clearly on my face. For a moment I wished he could read the murderous/kill red-headed creepy girl intent in my eyes too.

Sasuke got the hint I was desperately throwing at him and edged his way out of his paparazzi's grasp, and stood next to me, putting his arm around my waist.

"Karin, I want you to meet someone. This is Naruto. Uzumaki, Naruto." Sasuke said pulling me closer to him, "He's very important to me, so it'd be nice if you two got along."

Karin pushed her glasses up his nose. "Oh, so he's your best friend, that's great!"

She was so oblivious!!

Sasuke sighed, while I slapped my palm to my forehead.

"NO!" I yelled. "I'm his boyfriend! B-o-y-f-r-i-e-n-d! As in his lover! Not a 'best friend'!"

Damn! how obvious did I have to get! Did she not see us kissing at the restaurant that night?!

Karin's eyes widened "W-what? I couldn't even tell!" she replied, looking a bit shocked.

I just smirked and kissed Sasuke quickly on the lips. "Now can you?"

She shut her mouth right there, not knowing what to say. Just then the bell sounded, telling us to take our seats. Karin glared at me for one second and then stomped over to her desk. She was pissed off. And that pleased me greatly.

Sasuke laughed quietly. "Naruto, your so devious. Try to be a little nicer to Karin, at least. She won't do any harm now that she's knows we're together." he said, taking his seat.

I smiled and winked at him. "Sorry Sasu. I can't help that I'm a jealous bastard." I responded, sitting down next to him at my own desk.

The whole rest of the day Karin did nothing but torment me. She bumped into me in the hallways and kept knocking me books out of my hands. During P.E. while playing volleyball, she spiked the ball at me, smacking me straight in the face, then proceeded to blame it on Ino. At lunch she purposely spilled her bottle of water down the front of my shirt and on my lap. In history class, she sat behind me just so she could pull strands of my hair out while Iruka sensei wasn't paying attention. And right after the last hour of the day, I went to open my locked and the door came off the hinges! That's why I seen Karin with a screwdriver earlier! How in the hell did she even get it?!

"That's it! I've had it with that Karin! She pushed my buttons one too many times today!" I yelled in frustration.

Just then Kakashi sensei walked by, and Sasuke came up to me at the same time.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Oi, Naruto, you'll have to fix that." he called, walking off.

Sasuke looked suspiciously at the locker door in my hand. "What in the world did you do, Naru?"

"I didn't do anything! It was Karin! She's out to get me! I know it!" I exclaimed, punching the locker next to mine.

"Aw, calm down, Naru. Don't worry about it so much." Sasuke told me, trying to settle my nerves.

"Karin has been picking on me all day." I replied, trying to put the locked door back in place. "This is ridiculous. It's like we're in grade school all over again... and we're two little girls fighting over who's going to get the cutest boy in class first." I added after I put the locker back together.

Sasuke took my hand, and we both walked outside so we could go home.

"Naru, you've got me and you won't lose me to another. There's no way that could ever happen. Don't mind Karin. She's always been like that. When we were young and other girls tried to get my attention, she always started fights with them, yelling like crazy and pulling at their hair until she made them cry, so they wouldn't dare to come near me again. She's a very eccentric person and always will be. It's just the way she is. When she wants something, she'll do anything and everything to get it. Which is exactly why she's targeting you now." Sasuke explained the whole three blocks home.

I plopped down on the couch and grunted. "Yeah well if I have to put up with this for the rest of the year, I'll go insane."

Sasuke crawled on my lap, straddling me. "Ne, want me to kiss you and make it all better?" he asked.

I smiled up at him. "Your kisses always make me feel better..." I replied closing the space between us. We separated after a long moment.

"God, I love you," I whispered to him, rubbing me hand up and down his arm. "So much."

::Sasuke's POV::

"Love you too, Naruto." I told him, lowering my head towards his for another kiss.

"Sasuke-san! Naruto-chan! I'm home!" A sudden voice called.

We continued making out, knowing it was only Hinata.

She walked into the living room, catching us and laughed. "You two just never keep your paws off of each other, do you?"

"Ha ha. Very funny, Hina." I replied, pulling away from Naruto. "So where's Gaara today?"

"Oh, He's working after school now. Monday through Thursday at this restaurant downtown. I feel bad for him His shifts are from 4:30 to 9:30, and because he's taking advanced classes this year, he has a whole lot of homework that he'll never have time to do. So I'm going to have to help him pass." she explained with a long sigh.

I frowned, "Aww, that's a bummer. Poor Gaara."

"So where is he working?" Naruto questioned.

"At that restaurant called the Ariguriama. It's mostly a ramen shop, but-"

"RAMEN!!! LET'S GO!" Naruto yelled, dashing out the door.

That was just like him. He sure loved his ramen. "Well, I guess we're going to visit Gaara then." I said with a laugh, going out with Hinata after him.

We stayed at the restaraunt for about an hour, eating and visiting with Gaara. Naruto scarfed down two huge bowls of ramen before we left.

"Ah! That was delicious! You make some awesome ramen, Gaara!" Naruto told him, reaching over the counter to pat him on the shoulder. "We'll definitely be back here every night your working!" Naruto added, getting up to stretch his arms over his head.

"Hey, I'm going to stay awhile onger you two." Hinata said before we walked out.

On the way home we ran into the new kid, Sai.

He smiled awkwardly and waved, "Hi." he greeted.

"Hey!" Naruto replied, "Your Sai right?"

"Yes." he answered, looking us up and down. "And, if I'm correct, you two are Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto." he said pointing at each of us.

"How did you know?" Naru asked.

"Oh, easily." Sai said, "Your the only gay couple in our entire school." he motioned at our joined hands.

My jaw dropped, "W-what? Ho-how did you find that out? We haven't told anyone, except for our close friends."

Sai looked confused, "Really? I thought everyone knew. That red-head, Karin, was talking to everybody about it today at school."

"Why would she do that?" I questioned, feeling like I just got kicked in the stomach. I glanced at Naruto, the anger was clearly showing in his eyes.

"I told you she was trouble, Sasuke... but... doing something like this? It's... unforgivable..."

"Um, is something wrong?" Sai asked, concerned.

I nodded, "Karin is purposely hurting Naruto because she's in love with me, and she's jealous at the fact that he's my boyfriend."

"I'm so sorry." sai Sai. "You two don't deserve to put up with that."

"Thanks Sai." I replied.

"Well, I gotta go. I have to get home. But I'll see you both at school." Sai waved and continued on his way.

When we got home, Naruto and I went upstairs and layed on our bed. We stayed there for hours talking about everything. Naruto began crying towards the end... He cried so much that he completely exhausted himself out. I felt so terrible. All I could do was stay by his side and hold him, telling him everything would be alright. Naruto fell asleep soon after, dried tears staining his whiskered cheeks. I kissed his forehead, feeling that he developed a fever. I got up quietly, being careful not to wake him, and wandered downstairs to the living room.

I sat down by Hinata who was watching tv. "I'm letting him stay home tomorrow. He has a fever. If he goes to school in that condition, it'll only get worse and he'd probably pass out from pushing himself too much."

"Good. He needs to rest. His stress level seem far too high." Hinata agreed. She was right. For the past two weeks, Naruto had been getting stressed about everything. Between homework, Iruka and Kakashi pressuring him to apply to colleges, worrying about Sakura and her pregnancy, and now this whole Karin thing, he was way past his limit.

"Yeah..." I said. A short silence fell over us.

"We should talk to Karin tomorrow and get this situation dealt with before it goes any further." Hina said, breaking the silence.

"Don't worry. I'll do something about it." I replied, standing up. "Goodnight, Hinata. Don't stay up too late. We don't need you stressed out either."

"Night. And I won't." she mumbled, flipping through the channel's.

I went back up to the room and layed back down nest to Naruto.

"I'm going to fix this for you Naru... I promise." I whispered before drifting to sleep.

Kiko- I hope everything works out for them. :D Buuut, of course I know already, since I'm the one writing this thing. xD God, I made Karin such a betch. DX But there has to be some kind of antagonist now that Kai is gone.

Good riddens, I say.

Oh, and the title of this chapter. I got it from the song 'Low Fidelity' by The Spill Canvas. Very nice SasuNaru-y song. :3 So go give it a listen!
