Chapter 6: New Discoveries and Bad Memories Resurfaced
Naruto's POV
Where am I? I don't remember coming home last night, wait this isn't my home. I'm in the hospital, I yell out for a nurse. I then notice bandages on my face, ohhh yeah that's right; I engraved my face with that symbol. The nurse came in and I asked how I got here. She that that three girls brought me here, no doubt it was Hinata, Ino, and Sakura. She said that Hinata stayed the night, but left so she could get you fresh cloths from your apartment. You will be able to leave later around lunchtime. I wonder what is going to happen at school, I am friends on facebook with nearly everyone at Konoha high; information spreads so fast I wonder how many people know. I wonder when I'll get to see Kiba's…. Oh yeah, that's right I can't be in his life anymore. I hold back my tears until the nurse exits the room and begin quietly crying.
Hinata's POV
I was in the elevator, almost to the floor Naruto was on. I wanted to hurry and rush these cloths to him so I could get to school on time. I got out of the hallway and entered the room Naruto was staying in. "Hey Naruto, how are you feeling?" I said in a sincere voice "Just fine" I said and I told him I was glad to hear it. Then I heard this faint noise in the distance, at first I thought it was a herd of buffalo. Then as it got closer I realized it had to be something much louder, then suddenly; Sakura came bursting through the door yelling "NARUTTOOOOOOO! Are you okay, you big idiot. Don't you ever go and do something that stupid again." Sakura could past for Naruto's mother if she wasn't so young, I thought to myself. Sakura handed Naruto some get well cards from Ino and her, then suggested that me and her get going to school.
Sakura's POV
I entered the school with Hinata, and as we broke paths to head to our next class; I heard a familiar voice call my name. It was a voice I hadn't heard in a long time. I turned around and it was none other than Sasuke Uchiha. "It's been a long time Sakura" said the raven haired boy. "I heard Naruto is a faggot now." He snarled at me. I told him yes and there's nothing wrong with being gay. There was a point in my life where I actually was in love with this prick, but he just got so mean and then he moved away to his uncle Orochimaru's house. I got over it quickly and moved on with my life. Right now I was only worried about Naruto, Sasuke used to be Naruto's friend; then it turned out Sasuke was just using him to get close to me. After he got me, he started to pick on Naruto; he even beat him up the day before he left and called him pathetic. If I knew that was going on while we were in a relationship, I would have broken it of then and there. I have to call Naruto before he gets to school.
Dang it, he won't answer his phone. I need to tell him that he needs to not come to school today, because I need to give him time to be prepared for what Sasuke could dish out. Then, before I knew it; it was 10 minutes before lunchtime. I called Naruto one last time and he answered. "Naruto where are you?" I said "I'm walking in the front entrance, why?" Naruto said. Shit, I thought to myself. "Umm no reason, you just be careful and take it easy today ok?" I said and hung up. Then I met Ino and Naruto at the lunch table, Hinata was running late; apparently she needed to get something she forgot in her locker. We began eating lunch when I spotted Kiba across the lunchroom. I told Naruto to go and get food in the back line of the lunchroom, because he would be able to see me go and approach Kiba. I got to Kiba and told him to come out in the hallway. He looked confused and followed silently. I pushed him against the lockers and said you asshole, I told you I was going to hurt you. I told him that Naruto ended up in the hospital because of him, and then I kneed him in the balls and went back to the lunchroom.
Naruto's POV
Hmmm I wonder why Sakura sent me to the back line for lunch. I guess she wanted me to get tacos for lunch or something. Ugh, these bandages are irritating me; they are so itchy. If I move the slightest bit they open. I don't regret making these marks, but they sure do bother me. Well ohh well, when I arrive back to the table I begin eating. I was sitting next to Hinata and Sakura; Ino was sitting across from us. "Naruto, how are your cuts?" Hinata asked in a concerned voice. I responded with "they are fine, just really itchy and scabbed"
The rest of my half day went by pretty fast. I went to my remaining classes and did my work. At the end of the day I went to get my work from the classes I missed. When I was walking to my locker, someone tripped me. I fell and dropped my books, and yelled watch where you're going. I looked back and I couldn't believe my eyes. "So you're a faggot now, I always knew you were a failure and pathetic." said Sasuke. Whhh….why was Sasuke here? I thought he moved away a while ago. What is going on, am I seeing a ghost? "Hey faggot, what's wrong with your face?" he growled at me. I said it was none of his business, and began to get off the ground. He pushed me back down and raised his fist at me. He cocked it back and began to throw it at my face when someone stopped him.
Shikamaru's POV
"Get away from him" I said and shoved Sasuke into the lockers. I helped Naruto up and we began walking to the exit of the school. Sasuke just stood by those lockers with a pissed off look on his face. I asked Naruto if he was alright, and he said that he was fine. The blonde said that if I had been wondering why he had bandages on his face, it was because it was symbolization that he was "out" and also in love with Kiba. He also asked if I was grossed out by the fact that he liked men. I was not grossed out, because I was gay myself. I even had a boyfriend; I knew I had to help Naruto through this hard time. I was "out" but me being me, I don't like to get involved in deep conversations; It almost never comes up in conversation that I'm gay. I have no problem with saying I'm gay, and I love my boyfriend Gaara. Yes the redhead with the Emo eye makeup, I was in love with him. "Naruto I am also gay, and my lover is Gaara. So I am not grossed out by you, and even if I wasn't gay I wouldn't have a problem with it; my family raised me to accept people of all shapes and sizes and homosexual people are one of them." I said sincerely to Naruto.
Naruto's POV
Shi…Shikamaru was gay? I began crying and he immediately asked what was wrong. I said that I was sorta happy that he could relate to me, but I'm still very heart broken that Kiba disowned me as a friend. Shikamaru grabbed my hand and started to run with me. We ended up at the ice cream shop, and he told me to order whatever I wanted. I ordered the chocolate flavor, and Shikamaru ordered the strawberry. After I ate about half of the ice cream he asked if I was feeling alright. I said yeah I felt better, but I knew I would feel bad later. He told me not to worry. That if Kiba really was your friend, he would come around and take back what he said; maybe Kiba really does have romantic feelings for you but he just doesn't know it. These words of reassurance made me feel so much better. I knew I could trust Shikamaru, and he was really nice. Before me and that lazy guy parted ways, he said that if I ever had a problem, that I could tell him. After I laid down in my bed I drifted off into a deep sleep.
Kiba's POV
I am so confused I feel so bad for hurting Naruto, and I feel a sense of heart ache. Did I really care about a faggot, why? Am I a faggot? No…I can't I can't "So are you going to beat sense into Naruto or not? I know you thought he was your friend but now he just revealed all of those sick emotions upon you. Next week we will knock Naruto down a notch." said Sasuke, who'd told me to meet him behind the high school. Could I really do that to my best friend? I mean ex best friend. I think next week will end badly for one of us. I think someone is going to get hurt or even die, Sasuke has always been a crazy person. I hope Sasuke just calls the whole thing off, but I know he won't; there will be more than just a beating next week if I can predict Sasuke's actions.
