Last time on ATdMO

"Naruto, dude. What's wrong?" Kiba said while putting a firm hand on the smaller boy's shoulder, and it seemed to help calm Naruto's nerves because he finally stopped wrestling with the doorknob, but he was completely silent.

"My brother is a complete psycho and an asshole, I wouldn't care if he dropped dead right now. And besides I can never be mad at my Juliet." Sasuke said and chuckled as Naruto's relieved expression turned into confused and then surprise.

"I guess you're off the hook this time… But if I ever hear that you even looked at Naruto the wrong way, then I won't hesitate to rip off your balls and shove this so far up your ass that our can taste it." Tsunade threatened, gripping the envelope and waving it in his direction. Itachi didn't even flinch or do anything after Tsunade said that.

Naruto's POV

"Kiba?" I called as both me and said brunette walked down the crowded hall, but Kiba didn't turn his head towards me or acknowledge that I had even called his name.

"Kiba? You okay?" I tried yet again, but, however, he remained silent.

Okay… Either Kiba has suddenly gone deaf, or he's ignoring me…

"Kiba!" I yelled in his ear, making him flinch (so I guess he's just ignoring me then, cause a deaf person wouldn't have flinched... right?). I chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of my head nervously when I realized that people had stopped to stare at me for being so loud, but I paused when I realized that Kiba was already down the hall!

"Hey! Stop ignoring me you stupid asshole!" I called while quickly catching up with him, just before he could walk into the Gymnasium. I skidded to a halt in front of him and barred his way by spreading my arms out wide. Kiba looked up in surprise and he looked into my eyes; I could tell that he was upset about something. He looked away from me, his head tilting down and his shaggy brown hair shading his eyes from me. I puffed out my cheeks in frustration and stomped my foot to get his attention.

"Kiba… What the hell is wrong?" I asked frantically. I was starting to get fed up with being ignored—If Kiba didn't want to be my friend anymore then he should just come out and say it! No point in beating around the bush, and besides… If he really doesn't want to be my friend anymore, then I'll just leave him alone… Even if it hurts to know that he never really felt anything for me.

Kiba looked up with a pout on his face and let out an annoyed huff.

"What does it matter what I think? Why don't you just go to your 'Prince charming' and let him sweep you off your feet, I'm sure Sasuke would be happy to!" Kiba shouted, taking me by surprise.

"W-what are you talking about?!" I shouted back, but the only answer I got in return was a forceful shove, which knocked me to the ground. I winced in shock and slight pain as I felt my backside hit the ground, hard. I opened my eyes just in time to see Kiba disappear into the locker room.

"Stupid bastard…" I grumbled and rolled my eyes.

"What was that all about?" I turned my head and stood up when I noticed that there were a few people standing at the door. I'm guessing they all saw that little fiasco that just happened. The person who just spoke was Neji and the people behind him consisted of Shikamaru, Zabuza, Gaara, Chouji, and Tenten. To my relief Sasuke wasn't there to have witnessed anything.

"Uhhhh… Kiba and I are just having a…. disagreement?... About something." I said, trying to make up an excuse but still telling the truth, because I hate lying, especially to friends.

"Uh-huh…" Tenten huffed disbelievingly, but I just shrugged and smiled to wave off the questioning looks they were giving me.

"Alright you maggots! Stop chit-chatting at the door and get your scrawny asses over here! All of you!!" Anko-sensei shouted as she stormed through the door, shoving people out of the way. Everyone that was in the Gym or in the locker rooms came out to see what was going on. I noticed that Kiba was on the other side of the circular crowd from where I was. My shoulders sagged and I pouted slightly but then I stopped once Anko-sensei started talking again.

"Okay now! I handed everyone a permission slip yesterday for the field trip to the Onsen, Which will be Tomorrow! If you are planning to go then you had better have had your parent or guardian to sign that sheet, because either you hand it in to me right now, or you're not going tomorrow!" Anko said, her voice loud and strong.

She placed one hand on her hip and reached out the other one, her palm facing upward.

"Now, hand me your permission slips and I'll explain what we'll be doing today." She commanded and we all did as told. I was the last person to hand in the slip and once I did she stuffed the few papers she had under her arm and began speaking once again.

"Okay Maggots, today we're going to be going to the pool. I have placed bathing suits in your lockers and once you're dressed we will meet out here, and walk quietly to the pool! If even one of you gets out of hand then we'll come back here and you will all do push-ups for the rest of the period!! Got it!?" Anko-sensei's expression was stern and serious, and we all nodded in submission to her rules, because I don't think we want to get on her bad side….

"All right, then hop to it you worthless maggots!"

We all started walking towards the locker rooms to get changed quickly.

When I got inside I started looking for Kiba again. I even jumped up and down to try and see over the crowd for him. I thought I had lost him but smiled when I saw a mop of shaggy brown hair on my fifth jump.

"Kiba!" I called. He turned at the sound of his name being called, but then started retreating again once he saw me walking in his direction. "Kiba!" I called again, but he just seemed to ignore me.

That's it! I've had enough.

I ran this time, quickly catching up to him. I grabbed a hold of his arm lightly to stop him.

"Kiba, please talk to me…" I said weakly. This just has to stop! If he doesn't tell me what I did wrong then I'm going to go crazy!

"Why should I? You didn't talk to me when I asked you what was wrong! But when Sasuke asked you, you told him. Then he touched you and you smiled. And—Grah!" Kiba shouted while ripping his arm out of my feeble grasp and opening his locker with a little more force than necessary.

"Wuh?..." I mumbled, racking my brain to try and remember what he was talking about.

That's when it hit me!

Last period in Uchiha-sensei's class! Kiba came up to me when I was trying to rip open the door, and he tried to calm me down, but I wouldn't listen… then I started talking to Sasuke… I see…

"Kiba.. look… I'm sorry… It's just that… last period a lot of things were going on… and Sasuke knew what was happening and he knew how to calm me down some how. But please don't be mad at me!" I cried and I reached out and lightly tugged on the back of his shirt, because he wasn't facing me.

Kiba turned his head and peeked at me through his brown bangs, then he took in a deep breath and let it out.

"I can't really stay mad at you Naruto, but I really wanna know what happened last period. What was going on that Sasuke knew about and I didn't." Kiba snapped while turning to look me in the eyes. I took a small step back and looked down at the floor, debating whether or not I should tell him about everything that happened.

I haven't even told Iruka! But I'm sure Kiba won't go mother-hen on me…

Sigh….

"Well… yesterday when I went to Uchiha-sensei's detention, I was the only one in the classroom with him. Everything was fine at first but then he started touching me and he almost rapped me, but then Kyuubi-sensei saved me… again… and I don't know how Sasuke found out, but he knew and we started talking and stuff… then Kyuubi-sensei told the principle today and she tried to fire Itachi, but I guess that didn't work… and well… that's pretty much it. I didn't want to tell anybody, because I didn't want them to worry about me, but I guess you worried even though I didn't tell you… heh…" I said, still not looking up from the ground.

There was a long silence between us… and I thought that maybe he wouldn't say anything… but then I heard him sigh and say, "I'm sorry Naruto."

I shot my head up and looked at Kiba, who was scratching the back of his neck uncomfortably.

"heh.. I guess I over reacted… I'm sorry… well, next time you have to stay after for detention with anyone, and I mean anyone Then just tell me and I'll be there for ya. Okay?"

I nodded quickly and glomped him happily. Kiba let out a small chuckle and then gave me a pat on the back. I guess he doesn't like hugging people. Ha!

"I hate to break you two up from this touching scene, but I suggest you two get into your bathing suits before Anko-sensei comes in here."

Kiba and I quickly looked over to see Sasuke. He seemed stoic and emotionless as usual… and when I turned around to face him I also noticed that he was wearing a pair of dark blue swimming trunks. My eyes then started looking over the Uchiha's newly exposed body, and I couldn't help but stare a little.

Sasuke had pale skin, but it didn't look sickly pale, it looked like the color pale you'd see on a porcelain doll. He had broad shoulders and a lean yet muscular frame, but he wasn't muscular to the point where the muscle was like popping out every where! I noticed that his chest was bare and smooth, but when my eyes began traveling downward I could spot the noticeable abs and I could see a trail of dark hair leading down underneath the swimming trunks… which I wish wasn't there at the moment… wait! Bad thoughts! NoNoNoNoNoNO!

But, no wonder those girls are always chasing him!!

I didn't realize I had been staring until I heard Sasuke's voice right in front of me.

"Why don't you take a picture, it lasts longer." Sasuke said with a smirk, which made me stop staring, but then I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment (not just embarrassment—if ya know what I mean :Wink wink:).

Dammit! Stop blushing!

"oh yeah! Bathing suit, get dressed—right!" I yelled finally remembering about the whole pool thing, but then I completely froze and my breath hitched when I felt something slide up my spine and then warm breath brush against my neck.

"Would you like me to help you put your suit on Naru-chan?"

I jumped slightly when I heard Sai's voice right next to my ear then I felt his arms wrap around my waist loosely. My whole body went rigid at the contact, and I suddenly started to get flashbacks of those Nightmares of Itachi and the whole Itachi 'incident'.

I started to tremble, but then I calmed myself enough to try and pry Sai's arms away from me, but to no avail. Sai's pretty strong, I have to admit…

"Let him go Sai." I heard Sasuke growl and I looked up to see him glaring fiercely at my attacker. I was acutely aware of my heart pounding inside my chest and I started to feel a slightly dizzy…

For a moment Sai's grip tightened, as if he was going to put up a fight, but then I felt him release me. It took me a second to resolve the lack of sensation in my body but I spun around once I got a hold of myself, so I could give Sai an ear-full (since I can't really hit him): only to find that he was already out the door. I stared at the door a few more seconds, then I turned back around to thank Sasuke, but the Teme had also vanished!

It must be an Uchiha thing… oh well, I'll thank the emo bastard when I get out.. And I guess you could say that we're now even, seeing as I did him a favor by saving him from those fangirls yesterday.

I shrugged it off though and began getting dressed into my bathing suit.

Sasuke's POV

"You're getting on my last nerve Sai." I hissed as I lifted said boy up by his pale little neck, his exposed back scrapping against the rock-like wall of the Gymnasium. A bunch of the students were crowding around us, clad in their bathing suits, curious as to what was going on, but I didn't care: all I cared about at the moment was ripping Sai apart, but I was glad that Anko-sensei wasn't here at the moment...

"Why dear cousin, what have I done to upset you?" Sai said with his 'You-really-think-you-can-kill-an-innocent-person-like-me-and-get-away-with-it?' smirk on his face.

Yes he can say all that in one smirk, which pissed me off even more!

"You know exactly what you're doing, Sai, and I will not tolerate it!" I growled in his face, my voice low enough so that the nosey students around us couldn't hear. Sai's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Well let me ask you something, Sasuke… you're single, right?" Sai asked.

My glare intensified and my grip around his throat tightened, but it wasn't tight enough to choke him… yet…

But I nodded to answer his question.

"Yes, I'm single…" I said, almost reluctant, because he was up to something…

Sai's eyes gleamed and his smirk grew.

"Then that means you're not Naru-chan's boyfriend, and therefore… he's not your property, so I don't see what I'm doing that's so wrong…" Sai said in a low voice, so only I could hear.

Well, he did have a point…

I slowly let Sai's feet touch the ground, but I never released my hands from his throat.

"Well, that still doesn't mean you can go around touching him when ever you want to. He doesn't like it when you touch him like that, and if I see you do something like that again, then I will be adding more to match that black eye of yours." I hissed.

Sai was about to retort something back but then he stopped, at the same time I felt a hand on my shoulder, gripping it urgently. I looked back and saw Neji.

"I suggest you two break it up, Anko-sensei's going to be here in about 5 seconds…" Neji warned before going to sit in his assigned area.

Neji always had that sixth sense sort of thing where he knew exactly where people were around him. It was weird but it came in handy when trying not to get caught doing something bad… right now for example…

Everybody else began to quickly find their spots, not wanting to get Anko-sensei angry and have to do push-ups for the rest of the period. I let go of Sai after a second so we could both run to our spots.

Once I settled myself on the ground, I took a quick look over to Naruto's spot, but I surprised to see that he wasn't there. The dobe must still be in the locker room! That Baka!

He's gonna get us in trouble that total moron!

Just as that thought went through my mind Naruto came running through the doors of the locker room.

And once my eyes spotted him I could've sworn I almost had a nosebleed!

Naruto was wearing nothing but his swim suit, like every one else in the Gym, but I had never seen such perfection! Beautifully tanned skin covered Naruto's lean, yet slightly muscular body. He had athletic yet delicately smooth looking legs. I could see that he exercised because his abs that were slightly showing over his flat stomach. I chuckled a little at that: the idiot probably exercised regularly but could only get that puny little 4pack. Tch.

I immediately stopped ogling him when sat down and I could now clearly see the bandage that was wrapped tightly around his arm where he was cut yesterday…

"Okay Maggots!" Anko's booming voice filled the entire gymnasium when she entered, making a select few jump in surprise. Anko-sensei began walking back and forth in front of us, quickly taking a mental count of the students to make sure they were all there.

"Well, I see you worthless maggots had figured out how to put on a swimming suit… wait… Lee… What the hell are you wearing?" She asked, slight fear in her voice. Everyone turned to said student I swear I was blinded for a moment!

How come I didn't realize this before!!

Lee looked up innocently and stood up in his spot, revealing to everyone that he was… wearing… not the swimming trunks… but a small skimpy Speedo!

"L-Lee, go into the locker room and change into the appropriate attire before I smash your brains in." Anko gritted out, obviously not finding any of this humorous.

"But I am! This is what was in my locker!" Lee cried out, falling to his knees, rivers of tears streaming down his face dramatically.

Anko-sensei just sighed in defeat.

"Fine whatever, just… stay away from me then." She groaned and Lee then jumped up in the air victoriously.

Just out of curiosity, I looked over at Naruto to see that he was covering his eyes and shaking his head back and forth. But kid must be scarred for life now. Any kid would be traumatized after seeing Rock Lee in a Speedo I guess.

"Okay kiddies, let's get to the pool, that is unless you're afraid of drowning." Anko-sensei said with an evil smirk.
